	Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Seaters for Wednesday, the 16th of December, 2020.
	We are currently live on YouTube, Facebook, VK, and DLive.
	So if you don't happen to use YouTube or any of the sort of mainstream platforms, you can find us broadcasting to the alternative ones, which is something you might want to consider remembering in the next few days, because it looks like something big is going down.
	I'm joined by Callum.
	And I guess I would begin by recommending that you visit lotusseaters.com and checking out our content there.
	We've got a lot of premium content you can't find anywhere else.
	And if you want to make sure that we still have jobs and survive whatever is coming next, you can become a premium member there and support us.
	So, Callum, everyone is really nervous because something massive is clearly coming.
	And the evidence for this has been laid out quite extensively, it seems, for about a week now.
	And I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm going to lay everything out and we'll see what we can come to.
	So I guess we'll begin with Linwood, a part of President Trump's legal team, and an absolute crusader on not just Parler, but when he's doing...
	These live speeches and various other parts of his activism.
	But he's been saying things like this.
	This is what he posted three days ago.
	American patriots, be prepared.
	Events will unfold quickly over the next several days.
	Listen only to President Trump.
	Biden is not our leader and never will be.
	He and his cronies are communist compromised.
	CCP attacked our country with a biological weapon.
	CCP attacked us again.
	Steal the election.
	CCP wants our land to grow food.
	We shall never let them take it.
	Speak truth, be fearless, pray.
	With a graphic that says 1776 again.
	Now, I mean, I'm not endorsing or denying any of those claims.
	What I'm saying is those are big claims.
	Really big claims.
	The one thing we can say, though, is that Joe Biden is absolutely communist compromised.
	He's definitely been taking money from the CCP as well as various other places like Russia and Ukraine.
	But that's not the subject of what we're talking about now.
	We've covered that in previous podcasts.
	You guys can go back and check those out.
	But we did a segment called China Owns Biden, Joe Biden.
	And that's true.
	It was from their perspective.
	They said they own Biden.
	Yes, yes.
	Yes.
	From the Chinese Communist Party say that they own Biden.
	They have friends in the American establishment.
	And now that Biden's back, the establishment's back.
	And literally they couldn't fix Trump.
	So this is why I think something really massive is coming along.
	So that was three days ago.
	And then nine hours ago, Linwood, well, when I'd taken this screenshot, so probably about 12 hours ago now, Linwood had posted this to Parler.
	And again, these are being very well seen.
	Like the first one had a million and a half views.
	views this one's had 650 000 views america has been asleep at the switch communism has quietly slipped into our government our businesses and our communities they seek to control us and wish for the the fate of suffering seen in the populations of all countries were oppressed by communism it's time to wake up along with this graphic give me liberty or give me death by patrick henry uh march 23rd 1775 so how big is this guy in the in the trump campaign Because it seems a very, very American boomer for someone like me.
	Oh, he's huge.
	He speaks at the rallies?
	He speaks at the rallies, but he's part of the Trump legal team.
	And he's been the one from Arizona or Nevada who's been pushing this very, very hard.
	And his rhetoric has been...
	Fiery, let's say the least.
	As you can see...
	But yeah, just from these two, I'm getting a sense.
	A little bit of Alex Jones, to be honest.
	Yes, but...
	Kind of rhetoric.
	Yeah, the level of rhetoric is very much Alex Jones' level of rhetoric.
	And his parlour feed is just consistently like this.
	I'm sure his Twitter feed is as well.
	I mean, it's making me nervous.
	I'm not going to lie, right?
	And yesterday, Dan Scavino, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, posted this to his Facebook page.
	We're going to scroll down a little bit.
	You can see it's, as he describes, a historic moment in the Oval Office.
	We'll share what it was one of these days when I can.
	I don't know what's happening, obviously.
	Can we identify him on there?
	I can't identify him.
	The picture's a bit too small.
	But it looks like this is some very important meeting that he's talking about.
	I can see.
	I'm guessing that's Pence with the grey hair and Trump in the chair.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, Trump behind the desk, obviously.
	But yeah, so something massive looks like it's happening.
	And it's not just from Trump insiders who are part of the Trump team or part of his legal team who are making really staggering claims or saying, look, something big's coming.
	There are manoeuvres that I think we can see that are...
	Essentially, peace is falling into place, and I'm becoming very, well, suspicious that we're going to see something huge, as Linwood suggested.
	So, the first one was the segment you covered, was it yesterday or the day before, about how the Chinese Communist Party had been doxxed, and two million of their party members were released, and so we could see where in the world they were and where they were working.
	And as you saw, this data leak was obtained by the Australian newspaper, because obviously Australia is very close to China and is very concerned about China.
	The leaker sent it to them.
	The leaker sent it to them expressly, yes.
	And so this shows that it's world-based corporations in Google, YouTube, and various other pharmaceutical giants, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, financial institutions like HSBC. And apparently in government institutions as well, the Chinese Communist Party members are not independent actors when they go outside of China.
	They're not independent actors within China.
	Even if they don't believe in the ethic of the Chinese Communist Party, they're still bound by it, whether they like it or not.
	So anyway, the next thing after this is Trump withdrawing...
	Oh, sorry.
	That's, again, just more articles about how the CCP members are like, you know...
	Like, one of them has been a software engineer in YouTube since 2014, and things like this.
	So it's like, right.
	So these...
	Just to clarify, I don't believe they confirmed his membership, but he worked incongruent with the People's Liberation Army, getting approval from them.
	Also, the State Security Bureau and the Public Security Bureau.
	So it's like, okay, if you can get that done, there's no way you're not involved with these folks.
	Yeah.
	Just no way.
	And so the next thing is Trump making very interesting moves, like withdrawing support from the CIA. The Department of Defense is removing their military assistance from CIA's counter-terror operations.
	Weird maneuver.
	And I don't know whether it's anything to do with anything that's happening here, but this is a very strange thing to do.
	I saw that coming.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Why would Trump be trying to isolate, like militarily and politically, the CIA? I mean, that's...
	If you believe any conspiracy theories about, say, I don't know, JFK in the past, messing with the CIA is generally considered to be a dangerous occupation.
	So I don't know what it means, but it's something that has happened, as CNN have reported here, and I think it's something that people should be aware of.
	The next momentous thing that happened that I think is worthy of note and may well be connected to a broader pattern of Events here was the fact that Google went down, was it yesterday or the day before yesterday?
	For 45 minutes or so, YouTube, Gmail and Google Drive all down and no explanation from Google.
	Now that's really quite surprising.
	YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world.
	It is the largest video hosting site and Gmail, massive email site, all down.
	No explanation.
	Don't know why.
	Just came back up, and everyone just carried on as normal.
	As in, they haven't published an explanation?
	Not to my knowledge.
	If anyone's seen an explanation from Google, do let us know, because I couldn't find one.
	So again, lots of questions surrounding it, very little in the way of explanation, but if we're talking about historic events and momentous things happening, that seems to be tying into what's happening.
	The next one is CNN reporting on how a company and a program called SolarWinds was hacked.
	Three days ago.
	Now, the U.S. Commerce Department, I'm just going to read what they've written because I'm no expert on this at all, right?
	The U.S. Commerce Department confirmed on Sunday that they've been the victim of a data breach in an attack that is believed to have been linked to Russia.
	We can confirm there's a breach in one of our bureaus, they said, CNN. We have asked CISA, I'm not actually sure who that's, you know, some alphabet bureau, CISA and the FBI to investigate and we cannot comment further at this time.
	Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
	So these are the people who deal with this.
	They said, Reuters first reported on this.
	Sizer issued a directive late Sunday that tech company SolarWinds was compromised and posed, quote, unacceptable risks to the security of federal networks, says the acting director of Sizer, Brandon Wales.
	Now, SolarWinds is important because we will come back to this later.
	But CNN says SolarWinds Orion products are used by a number of federal civilian agencies for network management, and Sizer is urging the agencies review their networks for any possible signs of a data breach.
	This is only the fifth emergency directive issued since 2015, when SAIS was created.
	Solowin said in a statement last night that the breach of their system was likely conducted by an outside nation-state and intended to be a narrow, extremely targeted, and manually executed attack, as opposed to a broad, system-wide attack.
	As in, it's someone who knew what they were trying to get and...
	Went in and got it.
	Deeply, deeply concerning.
	And like I said, I don't know anything about SolarWinds other than something we'll come into in a little bit.
	But put a pin in that, we're going to come back to it.
	And so now, apparently, today, there has been a Pentagon internal network shutdown, according to JustTheNews.com.
	Again, I can't really confirm or deny any of these things, because events are moving so quickly.
	And the fog of war is so present across the battlefield, it's hard to know what we can actually rely on.
	But I've used just the news before, so I'll use them again.
	The Pentagon on Tuesday ordered an emergency shutdown of a classified internal communications network three Defence Department sources have confirmed.
	The unprecedented daytime shutdown comes amid recent revelations that other federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, were breached by hackers.
	This has never happened during the middle of the day.
	One official said updates are usually done on weekends or after hours late at night.
	This was done on an emergency basis.
	So it looks like there's some kind of cyber warfare going on.
	major data breaches of the US federal government using software run by this SolarWinds company that we definitely have concerns over.
	And so the next thing that makes me think, wow, something really massive is coming, is the resignation of the Attorney General Bill Barr.
	Like, Bill Barr's been pretty solid, all things considered, right up until recently when he said, well, we haven't seen any proof of widespread election hacking and that's all we're going to say on this, which obviously didn't reinforce Trump's narrative on the thing and drove Trump supporters kind of apoplectic, frankly, at Bill Barr, saying, well, come on, look at all this evidence.
	Bill Barr's like, well, there's no evidence.
	And so...
	I'm surprised that this is...
	Well, I get surprised is not the right word.
	But what was very interesting is Barr's letter to Trump that is weird.
	It's unfettered praise of Trump.
	It says, Mr.
	President, I appreciate the opportunity to update you on this.
	You know, review of fraud allegations, blah, blah.
	I'm greatly honoured that you called upon me to serve in your administration and the American people, once again, as Attorney General.
	I'm proud to have played a role in all of your successes.
	Few could have weathered these attacks like you did, much less forge ahead with a positive program for the country.
	You built the strongest and most resilient economy in American history.
	During your administration, the Department of Justice has worked tirelessly to protect the American public from violent crime.
	And all this sort of stuff.
	It's like, Jesus Christ.
	Like, this is his letter of resignation?
	Like, oh, President Trump, aren't you amazing?
	Also, I'm resigning.
	Because...
	Why?
	Because something big's coming, that's why.
	And he's nervous.
	Like, do you want to be the Attorney General who has to preside over...
	And we'll get into what Sidney Powell's view on the executive order from 2018 is in a minute.
	Because, again...
	Is it that suspicious, though?
	Because usually when a member of a minister or something resigns, it's usually filled with praise.
	I mean, this is a bit much.
	Well, the left...
	Yeah, it's very over the top, right?
	It's very over the top.
	At least it seems that way to me.
	And it seems that way to the leftist media outlets who were reporting on this.
	They're furious.
	They're like, oh, how could he be like this?
	Oh, Trump's this, Trump's that.
	Bill Barr's this.
	How dare he?
	His entire career has been a catastrophe, blah, blah, blah.
	And it's like, right, okay, yeah, just, you know, was it Memorio Damnatio or something, you know, damning his memory.
	Wish I'd done that.
	But what's very interesting is how the media have changed their tone on Hunter Biden.
	This is a graphic that's going around, and these are legitimate headlines, as you can see.
	The New York Times, Trump said to be warned that Giuliani was conveying Russian disinformation before the election.
	Then after the election, the investigation of his son is likely to hang over Biden as he takes into office.
	Washington Post, the truth behind the Hunter Biden non-scandal.
	And then, afterwards, Hunter Biden tax probe examining Chinese business dealings.
	Oh, really?
	I mean, that seems to be a massive concern, does it not?
	Hunter Biden's story from Polisco is Russian disinformation, dozens of former intelligence officials say.
	And then, after the election, Justice Department's interest in Hunter Biden covered more than taxes.
	Federal prosecutors have also investigated his foreign ties, possible money laundering.
	Yeah, it's looking bad.
	Before the election, it's disinformation, trust us, we're the mainstream media.
	Afterwards, actually, this is pretty bad.
	And I did see one poll on this, which they were asking voters, you know, did you know about the story and would it affect your vote?
	This is afterwards, so would it have affected your vote if you did know?
	I think, what was it, like...
	12% had heard of it, something like that.
	And then 10% of them said if they did know, they would have changed their vote.
	So this stuff does have an impact, and it's reasonable for Trump to be upset about this.
	And so what we know so far is that, and this is all stuff that we can guarantee, it's that Joe Biden is compromised by the Chinese Communist Party.
	We have the records from Hunter Biden and his emails.
	We have statements from the Chinese Communist Party members to the effect, people who would know within the Chinese Communist Party.
	We have Joe Biden saying China isn't going to eat our lunch, blah, blah, blah.
	We have evidence that Chinese Communist Party members are occupying positions of influence and power.
	We have all of these weird maneuvers.
	We have massive data hacks from the US government.
	And we have the Trump administration talking about how this is a historic thing that is going on at the moment.
	So I can't say exactly what is coming, but something big is clearly happening here.
	I don't know, I'm not suspicious at all of that message from the guy who works in the Trump campaign, because they always say something historic is coming whenever they do anything.
	You remember when everyone thought he was going to pardon Julian Assange, and then he pardons some feminist...
	Yeah, yeah, Emily Pankhurst or something.
	I'm going to be a little bit critical.
	It seems like you're connecting things.
	What's the narrative that you think is going on there?
	Well, we'll get to that in the next segment, I guess.
	But I think it's clear that there is something big going on.
	I mean, like, Bloomberg, when talking about Bill Barr, they were like, well, what spooked him?
	You know, they were just speculating.
	While condemning his memory, they didn't know what he had done, what had happened, and they didn't know what was happening.
	Did he not just upset Trump and then Trump was like, you need to resign?
	Maybe.
	No one seems to think that's what's happened.
	That's not what they said.
	And I can't really find anything that gives us a concrete hold on things.
	And with Barr's, like, weird praise and non-message, you know, there's no meat to what Barr had said there.
	He's just like, you know, you've done a great job.
	I'm resigning!
	It's like...
	Okay.
	Why are you resigning?
	But, I mean, maybe it's entirely possible that I'm reading far too much into any of this, but these things, I think, are very suspicious, and I guess we'll go into the next bit, because the...
	The question really is, is Dominion Voting Systems owned by China?
	This is an allegation that was made by a Newsmax White House correspondent called Emerald Robinson.
	She had said, Dominion Voting Systems has Smartmatics for its software.
	Dominion Voting Systems has SolarWinds for its monitoring system.
	Dominion Voting Systems has modems connected to the internet.
	Dominion Voting Systems is owned by China, so America's national security is a joke.
	Now, That's the SolarWinds being the organization that had the hack, what was it, a couple of days ago?
	That was hacked three days ago, yes.
	By, as they said, a non-native governmental entity that had a specific and targeted hack directly into a system, not a widespread attack.
	So it's not just someone just randomly looking.
	It seems to be purposeful.
	So what she said here that we can confirm, I guess we'll go through.
	So the first thing I'll start with is the fact that Dominion seems to have had SolarWinds for its monitoring system, if we can go to the next one, and seems to have scrubbed it.
	So this is Dominion's voting login website now.
	As you can see, there's nothing else on there.
	But look at it just two days ago.
	The two-day...
	You can see at the bottom, they've scrubbed the bit where it's...
	This is from Wayback Machine.
	They've scrubbed it where it says, powered by SolarWinds at the bottom.
	All of a sudden, it's not powered by SolarWinds.
	Yeah, all of a sudden...
	Or they've just removed it because they don't want the internet finding it.
	They don't want all of this evidence, right?
	Okay, so the story broke that they'd been hacked, and then all of a sudden they get rid of it.
	Yes.
	That's exactly it.
	The story breaks the hacked, and then...
	That's scrubbed.
	Weird.
	Really weird, right?
	To be charitable, they could have gotten rid of it because they now know it's hacked.
	Yeah.
	Totally.
	Totally.
	It could well be.
	Dominion have obviously categorically denied everything that they're accused of.
	Everything.
	Absolutely everything.
	They've just not given any consideration.
	Have they issued a statement on this, or are they keeping quiet?
	I believe that they did, but it was just a denial.
	What?
	Denial they ever used SolarWinds or...
	A denial that there's any problem, basically.
	Well, but you deleted that.
	I'll have to find it.
	Yeah, but it's the point of like, well, there's no problems going on, but why did you get rid of SolarWinds?
	Exactly.
	We want to know.
	We need to know.
	I think it's important to know.
	But the question is...
	So the first one, it seems that it did use SolarWinds as a monitoring system.
	I mean, that seems to be...
	What the connection is.
	That's what SolarWinds is, is this sort of transmission network.
	So it seems that Dominion has been using that.
	So the first claim, Dominion has Smartmatics for its software?
	That's true.
	This is Sequoia software that was initially developed in California.
	In 2005, it was acquired by Smartmatic.
	And then on June the 4th, 2010, Dominion Voting Systems, a Canadian company, engaged in manufacturing electronic voting hardware and optical scanners, acquired all physical and intellectual assets of Sequoia Voting Systems, as well as retained technical and sales staff.
	So not only do they have all of the physical property, they have the intellectual property, they have the staff who made it.
	They have it all, right?
	And so this was purchased by Dominion in 2010.
	Sorry, I've just skipped myself suddenly.
	Sorry, who was purchased?
	Sequoia.
	Sequoia Voting Technologies, or whatever it's called.
	Yeah, this was what was purchased by Smartmatic.
	And then we go to the affidavit that was procured by Rudy Giuliani and presented in his suit, where he spoke to a, apparently the source was a top-level Hugo Chavez insider, who claims to, we did all this.
	Is this the former bodyguard?
	Yes.
	The personal witness to the development and operation of the software, he says, I was witness to the creation and operation of sophisticated electronic voting system that permitted the leaders of the Venezuelan government to manipulate the tabulation of votes for national and local elections and whenever these elections to gain and maintain their power.
	So he claims he witnessed Smartmatic being created in conjunction and collusion with the regime.
	Smartmatic was used to change their constitution.
	He had hands on experience of using it, had repeated meetings with Chavez.
	Chavez wanted Smartmatic to build the election manipulation system so he wouldn't lose another election and he didn't.
	Witness has details on how it works, etc, etc, etc, right?
	So that's all true.
	We know that Smartmatic has...
	Was created in Venezuela.
	Again, you can find this on the Wikipedia page.
	None of this is a secret.
	We know that Sequoia was acquired by Smartmatic and then it was sold to Dominion.
	And so it was acquired by Smartmatic in 2005, sold to Dominion.
	And the affidavit, the witness claims that it is, Smartmatic software is in the DNA of every vote tabulating technology.
	Presumably they took that from Sequoia, did whatever they wanted to it, and then have passed that on to Dominion.
	So the question is, who owns Dominion?
	Because it's called what?
	It's a Canadian company.
	It's like, okay, well that's weird.
	You'd have a foreign company that owns your voting tabulating software.
	They would argue they're American-Canadian, but why is your headquarters in Toronto?
	Maybe they would, but A, why is the headquarters in Toronto?
	But B, why don't we actually know who owns Dominion?
	Because this is a 2019 NBC News piece.
	Again, before all of this came out, before all of this was a problem...
	A year ago, over a year ago, this was published by NBC News.
	So not a partisan right-wing source, not something that's been thrown up in the wake of this new scandal since the election.
	A partisan left-wing source.
	It's a partisan left-wing source, and in a period of calm and peace where there was no great focus on this.
	They say, you know, Chinese Parts Hidden Ownership Growing Scrutiny Inside America's Biggest Maker of Voting Machines.
	Doesn't exactly put your mind at ease, just from the very issue, the title.
	But they say the issue took on greater urgency after the FBI disclosed in July 2018 that a Russian oligarch had invested in the Maryland services election firm.
	Officials in Maryland and North Carolina have started questioning voting machine makers about potential foreign ownership.
	Because it is privately owned, ES&S, which is the company above them, I think, is not legally obliged to reveal its ownership or any other details about its finances.
	Although the spokesman did confirm the company generated about $100 million in sales last year.
	Their bylaws prevented them from revealing other individual investors but affirmed that they are all US citizens or trusts or corporations owned by Americans.
	You might not be legally obliged, but if you don't, you get nationalized.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I'll just take your word for it then.
	If you just say that that's the case, I guess there's nothing further to look at.
	But again...
	But this is why when Facebook gets trialled in front of the US Congress, they say, can you call this?
	They're being nice.
	If you don't do it, we're going to make you do it.
	Yeah.
	So...
	Yeah, they have subpoena power.
	They could force all of this.
	And honestly, I think they probably will.
	So, we don't know who owns Dominion.
	NBC couldn't find out.
	They won't tell us.
	We're just supposed to take their word for it.
	But we do know that Dominion received, as we reported on the LotusSeaters.com and did a segment about a while ago, that Dominion received $400 million from a China-linked or CCP-linked Swiss bank account.
	This was the US Securities and Exchange Commission filed a report stating that Dominion Voting Systems received this payment and that the payment was made to Staple Street Capital, a middle marketing equity firm, and it goes through various layers of companies because that's how they do these things, probably in a deliberate attempt to obscure where the actual money is coming from.
	The payment was made by UBS Securities, a subsidiary company of the Swiss investment bank, UBS. Despite UBS Securities being a New York-based company, three of the four board members are Chinese, one of the board members have worked at the Chinese Communist Party Central Bank, and the entirely government-owned Bank of China.
	So it's like, right, people who are high ups...
	The board members for UBS are Chinese.
	Yes.
	And if we scroll down to the bottom of the article, you find that 12 of 15 UBS board of directors have resigned December 6th.
	So those who are left, three of them are Chinese?
	Well, those who are left, I don't know, but why would 12 of 15 of their board members just suddenly resign?
	Because something's big coming and they know something's big coming and they want to bug out.
	That's why.
	That's the realistic explanation in my opinion.
	And I think that this is because of a recent Antrim County forensic audit of a Dominion software machine that came up rather bad.
	Now, I just want to be very, very clear.
	as Viva Fry pointed out on his stream the other day.
	This was part of a lawsuit against Antrim County and the Dominion voting machines that has been produced, this forensic examination has been produced by someone on behalf of the people levelling the lawsuit.
	So you wouldn't expect it to go against their narrative, right?
	But that's not to say that it's false, but that is to say that it probably wouldn't have seen the light of day, as Viva Fry said, if this had gone against them.
	And I think that his assessment here is correct.
	These things are essentially partisan for one side of the argument.
	Again, that's not to say that it's false, but I think that when I'm going to read out their conclusion, YouTube, this is not an endorsement of this conclusion.
	I don't know either way.
	We're not suggesting that it's correct or not.
	But what I think that it will show you is that it is a partisan effort.
	And like I said, that doesn't mean it's wrong or right.
	This is just the conclusion they came to.
	So the preliminary report was by Russell Ramsland Jr., A very credentialed man with numerous degrees and a master's degree in business or something, who'd worked within the US government and worked for the government on various advisory panels and stuff like this.
	So he's not just some rando off the street.
	He's someone who has been invested in this for a while now.
	And in a report drawn up in a Michigan lawsuit that the judge allowed the forensic examination of the machine, there have been other reports that the judge ordered it, which would imply that the judge was employing this guy to do it for him, and therefore the guy was answerable to the judge rather than the plaintiff, who would be thing.
	That's wrong.
	It's the judge allowed him to do this.
	But again, that's not to say that it's wrong.
	The conclusion.
	We conclude that the Dominion voting system is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.
	The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors.
	The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication.
	The intentional errors lead to the bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, no audit trail, This leads to voter or election fraud.
	Based on our study, we conclude that the Dominion voter system should not be used in Michigan, and the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.
	Now, they shouldn't be pushing a partisan position there, right?
	You don't need to put, we conclude the results of Antrim County shouldn't have been certified, or the Dominion voting system should not have been used, and the constant use of things like intentional, like the use of the word intentional, it's...
	Not inappropriate, but it puts a partisan sheen on this statement.
	Now, like I said, I can't confirm or deny whether this is correct.
	This is just what they found, because what they did is ran batches of ballots through the machine, and every time they have the tabulation in the report, and you can see just the number of votes overall going down, especially for Trump.
	So at the end of it, it starts with something like 22,000 votes, ends up with 16,000 votes, but Trump ends up with 5,000 votes, whereas before he had the lion's share on like 15,000 or something like this.
	So they're saying that they have used the software and they have watched it tabulate from Biden to Trump.
	Whether they have or not, I can't confirm or deny.
	But this is, I think, we covered the other day what are Trump's options.
	And we went over Powell's lawsuit.
	But at the time, I didn't have all of this context that is surrounding what is happening to really understand what she was saying.
	But I think now we actually do have quite a lot of context.
	So when she was saying Trump could trigger an executive order on foreign election interference, saying the evidence for foreign election interference is more than sufficient...
	Maybe it is.
	You know, I don't know what else they have, but there's a lot that suggests, well, Dominion might well be compromised.
	Joe Biden is certainly compromised.
	There are a lot of suspicions here.
	And the executive order she's referring to is an executive order that was issued on 12 September 2018 that's called.
	I expected it to have a number.
	Because you'd think it'd be an Execute Order 66, you know?
	You'd expect it to have some cool thing, but no.
	It's called Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in the United States Election.
	I don't doubt that the left would have lobbied for this in light of them claiming that Russia had influenced the elections.
	So you may be getting what you deserve here.
	I didn't check this, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.
	But the important part is, it says, The assessment shall identify to the maximum extent
	as attainable, the nature of any foreign interference and any methods employed to execute it, the persons involved, and foreign government or governments that have authorized, directed, sponsored, or supported it.
	All property and interests in that property that are in the United States that hereafter come within the United States or are or hereafter come within the possession of control of any United States person, which is a US citizen, or if the following persons are blocked, may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in.
	Basically, seizing everything.
	That anyone they think is implicated in any of this owns.
	That means if Sidney Powell's narrative that China, like, that Venezuela create or adapt a voting software that is designed to flip votes from one candidate to another, that is bought by Dominion, and Dominion is then either bought or paid off by China, then that, I mean, and this, what we have now, what we've covered today, I think is enough for Sidney Powell.
	I mean, I can't say whether it's true or false.
	This is her argument.
	This is her argument.
	This is her narrative.
	These are the points that she will connect together and say, well, there we go.
	That's how we know that this has been stolen by a foreign government.
	And that means that Trump would use this executive order, again, all lawfully, as far as I can tell, to not only impound all of the materials and all of the money.
	But also to seize every asset of a member of Dominion.
	But also criminal charges against the people involved.
	And there will be...
	I mean, you keep hearing, especially on Parler, from the sort of, you know, the boomer partisans about how there are going to be all these criminal charges, all of these people are going to jail, and it's like, well...
	I wouldn't rule it out.
	Maybe they will.
	I don't know.
	Who is Sidney Powell?
	She's not working on the Trump legal team anymore.
	She is a lawyer in her own capacity that is acting very, very closely with Trump.
	If this is the case, and I think it is, then Trump can do this and it's all lawful.
	Yeah, according to his own executive order, yeah.
	And this is why there have been lots of, I guess what's called right-leaning content creators recently, who are tied in, in the know, and have, like, you know, through the grapevine connections with various other places.
	And I've heard rumors to this effect myself, but...
	But basically, a lot of people are saying, look, make backup plans.
	Because on Friday, we're expecting things, you know, the grapevine is expecting things to happen.
	And if that's the case, because, I mean, who knows if, like, Google and Facebook are implicated?
	Who knows YouTube or whatnot?
	And so they are expecting, frankly, mass deplatformings on Friday or thereabouts of anyone right-leaning who talks about politics, For whatever reason.
	I don't know why.
	And this would be suggested by the fact that YouTube recently came out and said, if you're spreading misinformation, you will be...
	Yes.
	The increased cranking up of their editorial policy.
	And they're saying, by January, we'll start giving you strikes.
	Yeah.
	So I don't see why it would be unexpected or, you know, a surprise if they just came out and said, actually, we're just going to delete everyone's channel.
	Exactly.
	And they could probably take the hit.
	You know, they could probably take it.
	It would be legal.
	They're a private company.
	And it would be totally legal.
	It would be...
	It would be monumental.
	It would be an obvious partisan act.
	Extremely.
	And so, this is why, in the description to this video, you'll probably find our Rumble, BitChute, Parler, you know, all of the alt tech that we're on.
	Even if you don't use it on a regular basis yet, I would probably take the time, five minutes, to go and set up an account on one of them that you prefer, and just follow us there.
	or alternatively, you can go to lotuses.com and sign up and become a member and you'll have access to all of our content on YouTube and off YouTube.
	And we've actually been recording a few podcasts that we're going to have to put off of YouTube because of their particularly censorious practices regarding the sensitive topics that we're discussing.
	So you'll definitely want to be following us on the alt media platforms because they're the only places that we can put the, I guess we'll call them the spicy podcast when discussing...
	Usually you make exclusive stuff for someone because of a deal.
	They're paying you to make an exclusive thing for that platform.
	Which is what we actually do on Lotuses.com.
	Yeah, we're sponsoring ourselves.
	But it's the thing of like, we just do it because YouTube censors us.
	That's it.
	We didn't want this content to be private content.
	With the book club and stuff, it's membership only, so that's fine.
	This one's going to be available to anyone who's a non-paying member.
	But we have to do it just because YouTube is that censorious.
	Yeah, and the worst part is it's one of the better podcasts we've recorded too.
	We recorded it this morning.
	It was a really good podcast.
	Really good information in there we think you'll want to have.
	So yes, basically follow us all on alternative media platforms.
	Go and sign up for the website because we are going to take a hit.
	If it's not my personal YouTube channels with 900,000 followers, 400,000 followers, they're probably definitely gone.
	They're already Shadowbanned.
	We have evidence for that.
	Yeah, well, the main channel is Shadowbanned.
	My other ones aren't Shadowbanned, or at least, you know, the account daily one isn't Shadowbanned.
	But I think they're going to go.
	So, you know, follow me, follow us on BitChuteParlorMinds, all of the others, because...
	I think there may be no other choice.
	And I'm not going to lie, I'm really nervous.
	And thanks for your support, because this means at least we can keep the office and the staff running for now.
	But please do, you know, back us on there if you'd like to support us.
	But anyway, do you want to do some Super Chats?
	Because my voice is about to give out.
	Yeah, I bet it is.
	Where did we leave off?
	Because I think we got a couple yesterday that we didn't have time to.
	Just go for the December 16th one.
	No, no, I don't want to...
	Oh, yeah.
	So, have you looked into the Three Gorges Dam?
	It, after a short period of time, has already deformed beyond state parameters.
	Safe parameters.
	Sorry, safe parameters.
	If it breaks down, which it will, will leave to over 1 billion people dead.
	China is effed.
	I have heard about this, although I've never taken the time to look into it.
	Me neither, but that's terrible if it's happening.
	Birashi, Trump 2021, dictator perpetuo, who will be Augustus?
	The Roman reference for you.
	Oh, well, I mean, dictator for life.
	No, but the Augustus part.
	Yeah, Augustus was also a dictator for life.
	Caesar sets himself up as a dictator for life, and Augustus is like his nephew.
	And after Caesar's stabbed, Augustus fights a civil war with Mark Antony and wins.
	The Romans called him Caesar as well, and historians just call him Augustus.
	Well, he inherits the Caesar name, that's the thing.
	And that's how the name Caesar means emperor.
	Caesar.
	Caesar.
	Interior decorator for 5-ish euros, 5.50.
	Thank you very much.
	Then we get to today.
	Alex Alexandru, this may be a little long, but we have a recitation.
	A recitation of Mark Antony's eulogy to Caesar.
	I think it'll be proper in lieu of recent events.
	I'll have to read it.
	I don't think I've ever actually read Mark Antony's eulogy to Caesar.
	What's a recitation?
	A speech, a recital.
	Oh, okay.
	You're going to give one, are you?
	Just talking about Trump, just replace the words.
	Maybe.
	I've read quotes of it.
	Mark Antony's Eulogy to Caesar was, I mean, kind of like Bill Barr, actually.
	You're the greatest man that's ever...
	Yeah, yeah, basically.
	It was glowing, if I recall correctly.
	Dima, this sounds...
	I can't say that word, but Carl's diet has convinced me to quit smoking.
	You can't say your content hasn't had a positive impact on people's lives.
	Also, I am...
	No, I'm still can't say it.
	Apparently the G word is off limits now.
	Yeah, no, I don't trust that it's not.
	Yeah, but thank you.
	I appreciate the compliment and the fact that it's motivated you to do something.
	Adam Morgan, congrats on your UO Golden Standard Award, Carl.
	Well, thank you very much.
	I won Best Normie Content Creator.
	I beat Tim Pool and the BBC. Who was this?
	On Unpopular Opinions.
	Oh, okay.
	AA. Yeah, I was very honoured, very flattered.
	I didn't know you did that.
	I didn't think I was going to beat Tim Pool, because frankly, I think he's better than I am.
	i think he i think he does a lot more work than i do so yeah uh metavirus saga on you are the man with some hand figures just just yeah um melkador sigillite trump feels like a messianic messianic figure is that me or does it seem that there are similarities to jesus i don't want to compare trump to jesus i I think he's a lot more similar to Caesar.
	Trump actually gave a speech saying he didn't want to compare himself to Jesus either a while back.
	So more popular than me, Jesus Christ!
	But he is a heroic figure.
	Trump didn't have to do half of the stuff he did.
	Addressing critical race theory, stuff like that, that didn't have to happen.
	Didn't have to happen, but he did it.
	I'm not your buddy, Guy.
	Dark times lie ahead of us, and there will be a time when we must choose between what is easy and what is right.
	Evil wins when good men do nothing.
	Totally endorse.
	Empire 2.0, congratulations on your Gold Standard Award.
	All hail the God Emperor Sargon.
	Honest Joe Biden.
	You should start calling him that.
	Yeah, you should.
	Tried this one time before.
	Can't afford to record an album.
	If you cover the cost, it will be the modern pistols and break the whole bloody system.
	And then a link to...
	I assume the guy's...
	John, could you get that link up in a browser or pass it across to me on Discord or something?
	I'll post this on Parlour, Honest Joe.
	I'll post it on Parlour.
	I look forward to Honest Joe Biden's content.
	You sent us 20 bucks, man.
	It's the least I can do.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Possible pilot deviation.
	Callum, you cleaned up nicely today in your big boy shirt.
	Well done.
	Although it kind of matches the style of Carl's shirt.
	I told him that.
	He came back from, what was it, Marks and Spencer's with it.
	I'm like, why did you buy the same shirt?
	Because there's only one pile of shirts.
	That's true, though.
	Bloody expensive.
	I'm not enjoying the price.
	I prefer Primark.
	Look at the sacrifice Callum has made for you guys.
	Yeah, someone commented in the chat.
	He looks annoyed, and I'm like, yeah, I am.
	The engaged few.
	Wood is a nutter than a...
	Sorry, Wood is nuttier than a £50 bag of squirrel feces and a fraud who raised funds for Carl Rittenhouse...
	I don't care about that.
	...then left his mum asking for an accountant.
	I don't know his history, but if he raised funds for Carl Rittenhouse...
	I'm not saying he's not nutty as well.
	He definitely is from his parlour feed.
	But I'm also not saying that there's nothing here.
	It looks like there's something big coming.
	And you know, I could be completely wrong.
	It could be that everyone has got themselves really paranoid and nothing happens.
	And we don't get deplatformed.
	There isn't a big series of arrests or anything like this.
	Nothing could happen.
	Like I said...
	Like I'm saying, I'm not completely convinced, but I can see why you're thinking this.
	Yeah, I think it's prudent to at least inform people that, look, something huge could happen really quickly.
	And I don't think the media is going to give you any kind of information, especially not in the way that we've presented a lot of things that may well be disparate, but also may have a common cause.
	Michael Alvarez.
	Monkey works a military guy documenting military movements claims from sources that special forces connections will lock down the country for 10 days.
	I'm very suspicious of claims like this.
	They get made every week.
	Well, I don't know if they get made every week.
	Yeah, they do.
	I remember during the first lockdown, everyone was saying the military is coming in this week and that'll be something else next week.
	So I'm very suspicious.
	Mute stream.

	Well, we don't use the acronym, do we?
	No.
	Podcast of the Lotus Eaters.
	The simping business is getting expensive.
	Yeah, I bet it is.
	Stop it.
	Can I stop now?
	Yes.
	I'll pay £50 for all-male, tastefully naked calendar and stop.
	Well, I mean, honestly, you just have to keep simping, because that ain't happening.
	I mean, I've got to eat.
	Not yet, anyway.
	When I'm buff, then it'll happen.
	President-elect Jai Baodin.
	That's Joe Biden.
	Yeah, but I wanted to say it like American-ish.
	No, no, no, but it's Chinese-style.
	Jai Baodin.
	Thank you, America.
	Thank you, America, for allowing us of the People's Republic of China to buy your companies land-building resources and politicians.
	Proud of you, comrades.
	China ain't gonna eat our lunch, man.
	Come on, man.
	They paid for it.
	Why would they eat it?
	They're good folks.
	Even the ones who are literally chosen because they're good at fooling the foreigners.
	They're good folks.

	Hey everyone, I hope you're having a pleasant afternoon.
	I wanted to recommend Ryan Dawson for a guest.
	He's my number one source of US slash M slash E news.
	Middle Eastern news.
	Middle Eastern news.
	Thank you.
	I've heard that name before, Ryan Dawson.
	Yeah, I spoke to him a few years back.
	He seems like a nice guy.
	Alright, yeah.
	We'll look into it.
	Thank you.
	The Red Rose Land.
	Check out the podcast, Have We Got Planning News For You.
	It's done by the UK's top planning lawyers and seen by people with high positions.
	Hmm.
	Yeah, okay, why not?
	Caleb Harkus Collins.
	I'm not a great reader at the best times.
	Keep the good fight, favorite boomer uncle, plus crew.
	Website has been great since working.
	Cheers from Minneapolis.
	Thank you very much.
	And yeah, every day we've got lots of content up.
	Josh was pointing out that in the past week we've had eight pieces of premium content in addition to all of the other content that we've had.
	So I mean, that's actually loads.
	I didn't realise we'd put so much up.
	I do want to talk about the grooming gangs because I think we're going to do that and then we'll come back to this.
	Sorry lads, but this is somewhat time sensitive.
	It's just come out.
	Go for it.
	Right.
	Okay, so the grooming gang report finally got released after waiting god knows how long.
	Apparently it's now in the public interest, so they've given the peasants the report.
	I provided a Google Drive link, which I hope one of you can put in the chat, because we're not hacks.
	The Guardians released pieces on this, and they just don't provide a link.
	We can put a link in the description.
	Yeah, but I want people to also have it, just so we make the point.
	So the Guardian have instantly come out with their report, or their summation of the report, and as you can see by the headline there, most child sexual abuse gangs made up of white men, home office report says.
	Well, I can see why now it's in the public interest to release it.
	If that's the narrative that they can go with...
	We'll get into that.
	So they say in the article, You'll
	notice they put that part right at the end of the article.
	But that's the important part.
	Because that's the thing.
	The obvious point they're trying to make here is most of them are white, so there is no story.
	2% of the population are massively disproportionately represented.
	We'll get into it, because this instantly started trending on Twitter, if we can get the low-res image.
	Sorry, guys.
	So this name started trending.
	God knows why.
	So let's go to the first tweet.
	The first tweet that was at the top of the pile of this was from Peter Dukes, who works for the Byline Times, a far-left rag that just writes nonsense.
	And he says, Bang goes the repulsive calamity that has powered so much Islamophobia.
	One question, Peter.
	When does it mention Islam in the report?
	That's a good question.
	Because it doesn't.
	Let's go to the next tweet.
	And that's actually...
	We'll get to it.
	Oh, okay.
	Hold it.
	I'll shut up.
	This chap can't pronounce the name because it's difficult.
	He works for the Muslim Council of Britain.
	He's a spokesman for them.
	He's written a lot of nonsense and given a lot of nonsense in the past.
	And again, you know, what would you call it?
	Promoting the...
	Narrative?
	No, the singular sentence that researchers found that group-based child sexual exploitation offenders are commonly white.
	Okay.
	So what?
	Because there's the point, most commonly, or majority, what does that mean?
	51%?
	Yeah.
	What percentage of Britain is white?
	Well, according to the last census, it was 87%, but I imagine it's going to be about 80% now.
	But it won't be 51%.
	No.
	So the question is, is it under- or over-represented?
	Obviously.
	Well, I mean, Muslims in Britain are something like 4% of the population, 5% of the population.
	That's another point.
	Because the...
	Muslim men are 2.5%.
	Ethnicity and religion are not the same thing.
	And as I mentioned earlier about the guy talking about Islamophobia, well, where does it mention Islam, my friend?
	Why is the Muslim Council of Britain spokesman talking about this?
	Why do you all feel so personally attacked?
	So let's go to image two.
	So if you look up Islam in the report itself, you only get one reference here.
	There you go.
	And it's not even about Islam.
	It's about Islamophobia.
	Exploiting concerns about agent grooming gas to fuel Islamophobia by the Huffington Post in 2013.
	So that's in the reference section talking about where they get their stories.
	At no point in the thing does it mention Islam or Muslims, right?
	It doesn't mention Muslims, but when you look up Muslim, you get references to the fact that bigotry or Muslim girls were also groomed.
	You do not get a reference to the percentage of Muslims who were groomers.
	And this is a report looking at the characteristics of groomers.
	And you remember a lot of the accusation, particularly why is Peter Jukes mentioning Islamophobia, is because this is disproportionate among Muslim communities.
	But of course this has been substituted.
	Instead, we're using ethnicity, which is not a great turnover, but okay, fine.
	It's not in any way useful.
	This is not one of the questions that was asked.
	But, I mean, people were asking about ethnicity, so at least they went over that.
	And so I wanted to get this up.
	Because the claims are from people like the name that I don't think we can mention without setting up a bot, is that are Asians disproportionately engaging in this?
	If they are, by how much?
	Because if it's by 100%, 200%, you know, if it's only 51% of offenders are white males and it's, you know...
	40% Asian and then the rest of others.
	That would be 1,000% over-representation or something like that.
	So that's the question.
	How bad is it?
	And then, of course, the question from people like Mr.
	So-and-so is, are Muslims disproportionately represented?
	And if so, do they use religion to justify their claims?
	And did the police act out of fear of political correctness?
	Those are the three questions everyone wanted from this report to look at.
	And I just want to be clear, the Alexis Jay report from 2014 from Rotherham, these are all things that she assessed.
	And she did.
	And she came to the politically incorrect conclusions.
	Yeah.
	And is it correct?
	I recall reading that they had a weird way of targeting where they were going to investigate this.
	Well, we'll get into it.
	Right.
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	I don't mean to shut you down.
	No, that's fine.
	That's fine.
	So, let's just get to the claim that the Guardian took.
	So they just took the section that mostly white men are the perpetrators, which is lazy journalism at its finest.
	So if we can put this on screen so people can read it.
	This is the section of the report talking about that, the three bullet points of what's going on there.
	So firstly, just complaining that the data is...
	Bad.
	Because of different reasons.
	They label all the reasons I'm not going to go through them.
	Who cares?
	You can read it in your own time.
	But that if there is a cultural significance, you shouldn't ignore it because, of course, that's a way of intervening.
	Then you know what you're looking for.
	So then the second bullet point is where the Guardian draws their info.
	A number of studies have indicated that an over-representation of Asian and black offenders in group-based CSE, most of the same studies show that the majority of offenders are white.
	Fine.
	Because that's not the question.
	The question is, is it disproportionate?
	Like, sure, there have been people like Quilliam did their study.
	They only used the data that was publicly available, so it's not even a slight on them.
	Like, they got police data because it's the home office.
	Quilliam doesn't have that.
	So they got 87% or whatever it was, 82%.
	And, okay, yeah, that just proves that that is what it is if this data is correct.
	Fine, but that doesn't prove the point wrong, which is, is this disproportionate?
	And I was expecting some Excel spreadsheets and some pie graphs to show the makeup.
	Of course there's nothing like that.
	What was I expecting?
	But I mean, in a country with, let's just go for 80% white British, and then, what, 4-5% Muslim?
	I mean, if it wasn't that the majority of child sexual exploitation was done by white British people, I mean, that would just be mind-boggling.
	Yeah.
	You can't even imagine a scenario where that's the case.
	So the data itself, and this is, we'll get into some of the complaints about it, but the data they do use, they list A through E, a bunch of studies.
	And the problem with most of these studies is they get their data set, and about 30-40% of the data they do have, they have to disregard, because it's either not recorded...
	Probably.
	Or it's just not recorded at all.
	So people didn't put ethnicity through to the offenders.
	So the first one shows that 30% of offenders are white, while 28% were Asian.
	This is listed by the Home Office.
	But this is not proportional to the number of white people to Asian people in the country.
	Let me finish and then you'll...
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	I'm going to keep shutting you down.
	No, no.
	Do feel free.
	Yeah.
	B. So the other study they use here.
	Where data was available, white was the largest category.
	C. Half of the groups consisted of all Asian offenders.
	11 were all white, 4 were all black, and 2 were exclusively Arab.
	Looking at the offenders across all groups, of the 306 offenders, 75% were Asian.
	Study number 4.
	This study found that 42% were white or white British, 17% were black or black British, 14% were Asian or Asian British, and 4% had another ethnicity.
	E. From the minority ethnic backgrounds, sorry, those of minority ethnic background who are overrepresented compared to the local area, meaning that the ethnic minorities were overrepresented, but they don't give you a breakdown of which one.
	All of those non-proportionate.
	And that's the studies the Home Office said they used to come to this conclusion.
	So, yeah, I mean, so what was the first one?
	48%?
	The first one said 30% were white, 28% were Asian.
	Right, that's staggering.
	That's not a bombshell, is it?
	That's a bombshell.
	That's not worth the Guardian reporting, apparently.
	That's massive.
	Because, I mean, A, the country is not 30% white.
	The country is 80% white.
	And so, like, the country is like 4-5% Muslim or Asian.
	And, I mean, that is staggering.
	That is absolutely staggeringly disproportionate.
	To then go, well, the majority of it was done by white people.
	Doesn't tell the story.
	But that's the thing.
	They're not just relying on one study.
	They have to rely on a bunch of them.
	And they get into one of the problems they have.
	So I assume they just have more data that they haven't listed.
	Because, I mean, they are the home office.
	They should be able to get access to every piece of governmental information.
	But they write this conclusion in paragraph 81.
	You can read it for yourselves along if you've got it.
	Based on the existing evidence and our understanding of the flaws in the existing data, so already couching it in...
	It seems, most likely, that the ethnicity of the group-based CSC offenders is in line with CSA more generally and with the general population, with the majority of offenders being white.
	That's not in line with the general population at all.
	Majority, again, we don't know.
	That's not a figure.
	That's not a pie graph telling me how much.
	It's just a majority.
	And then you notice the rest of that sentence, like based on the existing evidence with the flaws in the existing data, seems most likely, probably in line with CSA, it's very couched in.
	We're not sure.
	Layer upon layer of caveat.
	Which is why I'm not actually angry at this report too much, because it seems like the Home Office is saying, we're not really sure, to be perfectly honest.
	We've got this academic data, and then we've got our sources, but the problem they have, and they have a legitimate problem here, is that a lot of the times police officers don't record it, or they record it incorrectly, and they're just sort of like...
	Because of the political correctness pressures that Alexis J identified.
	Now, was it correct or not that they ignored Telford?
	We'll get to it, we'll get to it.
	Oh, sorry.
	No, no, fine, sorry, I don't mean to insult you.
	So the obvious point you were about to make, and we're doing it now, is that they didn't include different pieces of information that you would include if you wanted to do this.
	And the first one here, we reported on a while back.
	You can go back and check this video out from us exclusively.
	I don't think anyone else talked about it.
	I think maybe we got a problem and some other alternative creators, but no mainstream media.
	The thing here was that they're not including operations that are in some of the areas you'd expect them to.
	So at the end, they have a list of annexes, and one of them is about all the operations they're using, some in Bristol, some places like that.
	And, of course, the problem there is they're not including places like Rotherham.
	They're not including the operations in Rochdale.
	Helford.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's where you can see that all of these people are people who have been convicted of being in grooming games.
	We'll do that in a minute, don't worry.
	But the point is...
	Sorry.
	So, I wanted to play a video from Lord Pearson's personal assistant, Peter McAvenna, just to make this point even more stark.
	If you can play this one, please.
	Lord Pearson and Lord Singh have asked about this report and they have asked whether religion will be taken into account, ethnicity will be taken into account.
	They have asked the government when it will be published and they have asked the government who's on this expert committee which advises the government.
	I just looked through the expert committee at the end.
	You don't have people like Jane Senior who broke the story initially with Andrew Norfolk on the Times from page 2012.
	You don't have other champions like Maggie Oliver who was the whistleblower.
	So together Jane Senior and Maggie Oliver have done more than really anyone else to expose this to the public.
	Peter McLaughlin wrote Easy Meat which I don't have here and that was the first comprehensive book Looking at all the cases which had happened on grooming gangs.
	And here we have, is this coming up?
	So this is Peter McLoughlin, and it's p-m-c-l-a-u-t-h dot com.
	I put it in the description so you can get it there.
	Statistics on grooming gangs jailed.
	And he goes through, as you see, all the cases.
	All of them.
	All the way back, let's go all the way down, to the first case was 1997 in Leeds.
	So that's just Peter making the point that the kind of people you would expect to be on this report, you know, Maggie Oliver, Jane Senior, and Peter McLaughlin, people have done massive amounts of work on this.
	None of them are included.
	You remember we spoke about Maggie Oliver.
	She said 50% of the information she'd sent to them, they just deleted.
	They just weren't interested in the witness statements.
	Not part of this report.
	Mad.
	And, okay...
	What's the reasonable argument for that?
	Now, they're arguing in the report that there are certain sources which are biased, and therefore we're not going to include them, and we don't think they're credible.
	And they make a reference to Quilliam, and they say, Quilliam's source, we think it's...
	I don't have the full text, but you can go look up Quilliam in there, and you'll find that.
	Presumably a hotbed of right-wing radicalism.
	Yeah, I guess so.
	But they therefore say, well, I don't want to use that.
	And I'm guessing they would argue the same.
	Maggie Oliver's biased, even though she was a detective working on these cases for God knows how many years.
	And then an activist for these girls' rights.
	Not politically biased, but just biased, I guess.
	Jane Senior, someone who's talked about this a lot, done a lot of work on it with Andrew Norfolk.
	No, not her.
	And then Peter McLaughlin, I can see the argument, like he has worked with the man we shall not name, and produced books about Islam, therefore he's haram and cannot be included.
	But I mean, his data list there, what's wrong about that?
	All of those are publicly convicted people.
	Like, you can get the information anywhere, and the Home Office will have that information.
	So I don't know why they couldn't talk to him.
	Why would you leave out like four or five cities where this thing came to light because of how bad it was and how obviously ethnically targeted it was?
	Who knows?
	Why would you leave that out?
	So, okay, you want to argue these people are politically biased or biased in some way.
	Therefore, we want to go.
	Fine, fine.
	Okay.
	Then why did you include this lady?
	So this is Ella Cogbane.
	And she's produced, as you can see there, they're regarding on academic evidence.
	And this is a bunch of different studies she's written.
	But one of the things they didn't include is one of her other studies.
	This is why I'm semi-familiar with her.
	Is, okay, maybe she's trustworthy, but I personally do not trust this lady to produce unbiased results.
	I trust her as much as I trust Peter McLaughlin.
	So I don't understand why she's included.
	And just to give an example, I don't know if you can get the journal up, the second link.
	She co-wrote a paper talking about why this was going on, and her central argument comes down to, well, if we aggregate child sexual abuse to be all of it, because grooming doesn't really mean anything, therefore the majority of people are white, therefore there's not an issue and everyone's overblowing this.
	Oh, brilliant.
	Which is just a nonsense argument.
	Well, it's just categorization adjustment.
	It doesn't change the number of girls who have been groomed.
	Girls who have been raped, whose lives have been ruined.
	And it doesn't change who's doing it.
	It doesn't change who's being convicted for it.
	Because we've got all the names of the people who have been convicted.
	Not many of them are traditional British names.
	Not many John Smiths.
	Some of the other comments in here are just weird.
	She asserts that Andrew Norfolk is basically dishonest and lying.
	Jack Straw is lying.
	Sarah Champion is alleged to be...
	A Nazi?
	A far right.
	Labour MP for Rotherham.
	Her comments were parroted as being part of the far right or something.
	Savva Javid is lying.
	How far does this far-right conspiracy go?
	They also refer to Priti Patel as a racial gatekeeper.
	So it's like, look, okay, okay, okay.
	That's literally Novara Media's perspective on Priti Patel.
	Fine.
	Maybe your research has some data, but you are very clearly a biased individual.
	And that's to be expected.
	All of academia is just as biased as real life.
	They try and minimize it, but I don't limit your sources to academic sources.
	They have their problems too.
	Yeah.
	But if that's the case, why is she being allowed to be quoted a million times?
	But Peter McLaughlin, Maggie Oliver, Jane Senior, they're not in.
	I don't see the rationale.
	And of course the point you had just made and you were going to make is image number five.
	Now this is an image which was compiled by the man we cannot name, who all he did was looked up every single case he knew about, looked up a news report, and got images of the people who were now convicted.
	Because you don't get images before they're convicted, these people are all convicted.
	And he put them all together.
	And that's an image of everyone he could find was convicted.
	Are we allowed to comment on that?
	What do all these Mohammeds have in common?
	Yes.
	No, that's being a bit rude.
	But, you know, you can say it's a diverse group.
	You can see there's a Sikh guy, you can see there are white people.
	You can see two white people at the top.
	All sorts of different kinds of people.
	And I understand that's a factual statement.
	But disproportionality is also...
	Two white women down there?
	Yep.
	What's disproportionate about this image?
	Is this an accurate makeup of the cross-section of bread?
	I can see six.
	You've got six?
	Seven, I think, down there.
	There's one down there.
	Some of these people may have been on holiday a long time.
	Yeah, maybe.
	But seven people who I would look at and judge to be ethnically white British.
	And I'm not saying this is a full data set.
	Of course it's not.
	The Home Office will have the data that wasn't covered in the news.
	These are just all of the people that have been convicted?
	This is just the one that any member of the public can find.
	Yeah.
	This is why people are suspicious.
	The fact that you say yourselves that your data that you've got you don't really trust.
	The fact that you're using biased researchers and then the public available data doesn't seem to show that.
	Okay, fine.
	But then, that's why their conclusion I'm not really mad with, because they say, look, other data have found this, we're not really sure about our data, but we're guessing that the majority are white British.
	Okay?
	Maybe.
	But that's 51% at minimum, to maximum, being 100.
	Well, 99%.
	But that's why I hate what The Guardian produce and what the leftists on Twitter are talking about.
	Because, of course, they're taking this as a vindication of there's no problem.
	Yeah, there's no problem.
	There's no problem.
	And it's like, okay, well, you just don't want to know.
	You're burying your head in the sand.
	I mean, these people have never wanted to know, so I'm not surprised.
	But I've got some quotes here from the Home Office, just to double up the point.
	If you're not going to read it, don't worry.
	That's just...
	So they say, it's difficult to draw conclusions about the ethnicity of offenders as existing research is limited and the data collection is poor.
	That's Priti Patel's quote in the opening statement.
	Another part, research on offender ethnicity is limited and it tends to rely on poor quality data.
	Later on, they also say what research there is tends to rely on poor quality data.
	Later on, research to date has relied on poor quality data with a number of weaknesses.
	Now, okay.
	Fine.
	Fine.
	If only there was someone in a position of power who could do something about this, Home Office.
	Who else are you expecting to fix this?
	Like, you're the ones in charge of this.
	What I would like to know is the number of convicted groomers per 100,000 per population group.
	Per 100,000 white British people, how many of them are convicted of group child sexual exploitation?
	And per 100,000 of the Asian or Muslim or whatever way you want to slice the demographics, I just want to know.
	And I think that will be the real litmus test, but I guess that we don't have those figures, do we?
	So, yeah, I mean, we're disappointed in this, because, you know, you haven't given anyone a conclusive answer, so I'm not actually that...
	But you have given the Guardian a narrative that can say, actually, it's white men that are the problem.
	The Guardian was always going to spin this.
	Yeah, of course they were, but just giving them ammunition to do it is a problem.
	I mean, if they just said, well, actually, our data seems to be bad, we really wish we had better data or something, maybe.
	But I'm not personally that aggrieved by that.
	I forgot what I was going to say.
	I was going to say something else.
	I think this is shocking.
	But it's...
	Yeah, it's really interesting that, as we mentioned earlier, Islam is not mentioned, because they go into the motives of the perpetrators, and they go into sexual pleasure, maybe this, maybe that, domination, but they do not mention religious justifications or anything like that.
	I mean, do they not speak to any of the victims who we have spoken to and who say, well, they give us religious reasons?
	The only reference is into Muslim girls being groomed, at least I found.
	And they mention that Muslim groomers will use that as a means to keep them quiet.
	The fact that this will bring shame on your family because you're part of our community.
	And that's it.
	It's like, right, this is...
	Come on, you knew there were more stones to be unturned here, and you haven't unturned them.
	Like, even if we just take it, okay, your racial data you think is suspect, or you're not ready to say something concrete.
	You know, there's no pie graphs.
	Fine.
	But then, you know, Savage Javid's statement on it.
	What was it?
	There'll be no stone unturned.
	Political correctness will not stop us.
	Why did you not investigate?
	It doesn't look like it.
	It looks like stones have been left unturned because of political correctness.
	Why is Peter Dukes mentioning Islamophobia?
	Because the accusation from a large part of people involved in this is that there was a religious motive.
	And not only that, recently, in fact it was last week, there was another gang convicted for historic offences, wasn't there?
	I can't remember where it was now, but it was just, you know, the headlines just come past, oh, here's a new one.
	Ongoing operations.
	This is one of the problems the Home Office had, was we're trying to release a report on this, but we still have ongoing operations finding people constantly.
	This is just the state of the country.
	So the Guardian of Vindicator is mostly white men, therefore no problem at all.
	Muslim Council of Britain, Guardian writer, bylines.
	There's nothing going on, lads.
	Right, okay.
	Dean Loveday.
	Barr covered up the Hunter Biden investigation until the election was over.
	I think he's being told to go before he's pushed myself.
	That's a great point.
	I forgot about that.
	Barr is the one who sort of quashed the investigation into Hunter Biden before the election.
	So maybe that explains the veneration that he gives to Trump on his way out.
	Who knows?
	I don't know anything about QAnon, I'm afraid.
	The belligerent Welshman.
	It depends.
	I think the Republicans would have to have control of The House, I think it is, and they only have control of the Senate or the other way around.
	They control the Senate only.
	Right, yeah.
	So I don't...
	But I'm no expert on US constitutional law or procedure, so moving on.
	Sad Wings Raging.
	Have one of your crew research marriage ties between the media and Democratic Party, Carl.
	That would be quite revealing on Mockingbird Media.
	Well, I mean...
	Yeah, that is a good point.
	Is it questionable?
	I didn't think it needed to be done.
	I mean, Hillary Clinton had her own press corps that flew around on her jet while she was campaigning.
	So I didn't think that was something we needed to prove.
	They seemed to all be there.
	The video where they're pretending to be still and they're recording around them, and it's all the press corps doing it, and they're all playing around.
	It's like, do you not think this is a bit integrated?
	It's good for the normies, though.
	Oh, I bet it's wonderful for the normies.
	No, no, to demonstrate that, you know.
	Oh, right.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Maybe we should do that.
	But, I mean, just identify the journos who are on Hillary Clinton's plane would be good enough.
	Possible pilot deviation says, I'm worried about my country.
	I have bad feelings.
	Can you move the mouse?
	Thanks.
	Bad feeling that things are going to end in a lot of bloodshed.
	I feel for the normies who will be shocked.
	Well, that's one of the reasons that we're telling you about this stuff.
	I mean, we haven't taken an editorial position very much on this, and we don't have proof of anything We don't have editorial positions.
	Yeah, but we've got to be careful because of YouTube's editorial position.
	The Engaged View says, if we use CH-47 Chinooks, we can do 100-plus helicopter rides at a time.
	American ingenuity put to use to save America.
	That's a vow.
	Yeah.
	Possible pilot deviation.
	Carl's right, proffery shards to vote and jettison the lame and indigent off the highest cliff, just like Carl says.
	Well, it was really just like the Athenians said.
	I'm just citing a historical source.
	Ian Mack says, probably had sent to you already, but if you need it, the full Biden 90-minute Zoom call with a link.
	Yeah, if you can...
	Can you copy and paste that?
	Yeah, save that please, John.
	2 Chain says, the way you say Maryland triggers the Americans.
	They say Maryland.
	Well, that's their problem, because it's an English word called Maryland.
	It's very clear.
	It's the same as Arkansas, okay?
	If you don't want us to pronounce it as Arkansas, don't spell it like Arkansas.
	Oh, really?
	It says us.
	Like, look at English place names in England.
	You want to go to Loughborough, do you?
	Got an excuse.
	We're 1,500 years old.
	It wasn't the same goddamn language.
	You're only 300 years.
	How has it deviated this much?
	It's the same language, you know?
	If you want to go back to...
	I mean, we've got the Celtic, the Norwegian...
	Waste, Seax, then, you know, Wessex, then okay, fine, you know?
	We've got excuses.
	It's okay when we do it.
	We've got history.
	That's the reason.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And you'll never have history, at least not for another 500 years or so.
	The possible file of deviation says the evidence may be there, but the legal authorities act may also be there.
	But the support of half the country is not.
	If Trump wins, it's war.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's why I said something big is coming.
	Follow us on alternative platforms.
	Subscribe to our website because thankfully we're getting Waze engaged so we can broadcast just directly to the website.
	So if things really go wrong, and I don't know that they won't, we will still have backups and we will still be able to broadcast.
	It feels like we're in the middle of a war already, really, doesn't it?
	I feel like we're broadcasting from a bunker.
	At least it doesn't look like it.
	Yeah, at least it doesn't look like it yet.
	The R Heretic says, seriously, we need to get in contact with Ryan Dawson.
	Okay, thank you.
	We will do.
	Joe says, Linwood is not part of the Trump legal team.
	Watch Rob Barnes and People Pundit podcast.
	He talks about Wooden there.
	Not good.
	Right, okay.
	I'll check that out.
	But I thought he was.
	I thought he was a part of the Trump legal team.
	But maybe it's like Sidney Powell where he's acting on his own initiative, but just is socially engaged with the Trump legal team.
	Mr.
	Everyman says, Executive Order 1348.
	I couldn't find that number.
	It wasn't written on the executive order when I was reading it.
	That's weird.
	Possible in the CNN report that I found.
	Possible pilot deviation says, If the US Civil War goes hot, then China and others will make huge moves, not directly at the USA, but they will squeeze the rest of the globe.
	Yeah, they'll also fund the Democrats, without a doubt.
	I mean, they're already funding the Democrats, so they will definitely fund the Democrats.
	Well, that's an excellent slate of people, I think.
	Real MVP kind of person, though.
	Yeah, you are an absolute MVP, and thank you so much.
	We hope that the premium content has been good.
	BG Willier says, to err as human, to really foul up, to use a computer, to really, really cheat, do adjudication.
	Andrew Boehmer says, thanks for bringing to light information ignored by the media.
	I hope people will pay attention, but I fear they will not.
	It's not that necessarily this information is ignored by the media or not reported.
	What it is, is it doesn't filter into the pundit sphere, the mainstream, the legacy pundit sphere, who are refusing to talk about all of this stuff.
	But we are going to talk about it because we think it's important.
	Guitar operator says, absolutely love this podcast, lads.
	Thank you, man.
	Sargon was my top sub and now it's expanded in a way that really showcased his talent.
	Great team.
	Callum and Hugo remake the channel.
	Oh, no love for Josh.
	Top boys, love from Scotland.
	PS Dank is king.
	Oof.
	Oof.
	It was going so well until then, and there's a slap in the face at the end.
	Well, Stank is king.
	He likes Stankula.
	Oh.
	That's a bad thing, though, is it?
	No, no, obviously not.
	Chris Brinkley says, your boy's life story will be called He Just Wanted to Play Video Games.
	Yeah, I know, I know.
	I mean, my son really does just want to play video games as well.
	You know, if you do publish a book, that's got to be the title.
	No.
	I don't care what you're saying.
	I'll publish some sort of treatise on how the West has gone wrong.
	Yeah, and it'll be cool.
	I just wanted to play video games.
	I didn't want to have to...
	It didn't have to be like this, Anita.
	Just saying.
	You could have just shut up saying that men were bad.
	And anyway, Sargelius says, I only simp for Carl.
	I'm just...
	That's all she was saying.
	Just like you in the...
	You know, you've got to join the Second American Civil War.
	It's just in the trenches.
	Goddamn it, Anita.
	Sorry, sorry.
	Who knows what will happen after the Civil War?
	That's all I'm saying.
	I only simp for Carl.
	I'm going to start with the beginning.
	I just want to say hi, lads.
	Thank you very much.
	Lamberta says, Carl, if you ever wanted to learn Latin, I could teach you for free.
	I've taught Latin for a few years.
	I mean, my language skills are terrible outside of English.
	We've got Duolingo.
	But I'm not against the idea, to be honest.
	Duolingo has Latin on there now.
	We should try it.
	But I mean, we've got an offer from Lamberta's here.
	Who also is saying free.
	Yeah, yeah.
	If you want a free tutor, go for it.
	I guess contact at lotuseaters.com if you've got a link or something you can send us.
	I'm just saying because you don't have much time.
	No, no, I don't.
	Maybe in a few years I'll try and learn it.
	Benjamin Grieco says, I finished 70-hour week so I have some kangaroo dollars before China goes all tomorrow when the war began on Australia.
	Pierce, if you need a chef on staff, I'll fly over anytime.
	Man, I wish we needed a chef.
	When we're big enough to need a chef, I will definitely let you know.
	But thank you for that.
	And man, good job working a long week.
	And honestly, China and Australia, it's Australia that will be the tripwire for all of the catastrophes to come.
	I don't envy you.
	But I totally, totally don't want us to just leave Australia and New Zealand.
	No, the Commonwealth is important.
	Yeah, it is important.
	Metavirus says, hey, do you think you'll ever come to Australia?
	Biden, I'm not going to read that just in case YouTube yeets us.
	I would love to.
	I guess the coronavirus has kind of put the hold on this.
	My wife really wants to go to Australia as well.
	Start planning, at least.
	Well, yeah, since we've got a new world sun and the coronavirus, it doesn't look like it's likely on the horizon.
	But maybe next year we'll see how things go, assuming we're not in a world war with China.
	Johnny Gray says, please interview Ricardo Bosie, Australia's Trump.
	Lieutenant Colonel S.A.S. might surprise you.
	DRTIsKing says, Trump may end up being more Gracchus or Sulla.
	Since both wanted to save the Republic, we shall see if Trump is given the choice of who to follow.
	Yeah, I always felt that Trump was actually rather a kind of Gracchus, Gracchi kind of figure.
	Both of the Gracchi brothers were people who had working-class concerns, effectively, and were good advocates in that regard.
	So I always felt that Trump was very much in that mould.
	But, I mean, maybe he's going to take on a kind of Caesarean or Salarian role afterwards.
	But, I mean, maybe he'll turn out to be Sulla, and that'll be good for us in the short term.
	Bad in the long run, but...
	Noble Biden hath told you Trump was ambitious, and Biden is an honourable man, says Unholy.
	Daniel Holdson.
	Trump knew this was coming.
	They knew many people are compromised.
	He sat back, letting the commies expose themselves.
	Yeah, it's interesting.
	Because there is a theory that this is Trump actually playing some seriously good 4D chess, and he's letting everyone compromise themselves.
	Everyone go all in on the lie, and then spring a trap shut.
	And to be honest with you, with the pieces sort of moving, maybe he's trying that.
	I don't know.
	This is what the Conservatives in the UK do.
	They let things get terrible and then say something.
	But that's just downsides, obviously.
	Things got terrible first.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Mr.
	Croshaven says, One, this message comes in parts, so read this one all at once if you have time.
	A bit of a background.
	I'm from Northern Ireland and never had an affinity nor loyalty to my nationality.
	That's due to the strife between the Irish republicanism and British loyalism.
	For eight years, I've had the ambition to establish my own We're good to go.
	Or to prevent people with nefarious legal intentions from affecting the goodwill of the nation.
	It would be a haven for anyone who needs a purpose and somewhere they feel at home.
	Am I delusional, morally wrong, for wanting this?
	Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated, Sargon.
	I've also signed up to Lotus Eats' website.
	Many thanks for reading.
	Love the show.
	Well, thanks for all the messages, and thanks for signing up.
	Am I just wanting to do it?
	I don't think so.
	I don't think there's anything morally wrong with any of this.
	Yeah, thank you for all the donations.
	That was like 50 quid you sent us, man, so thank you.
	You sound very ambitious.
	Yeah, I mean, it's a highly ambitious...
	I don't know about necessarily the legality of it, although places like Sealand micronations do exist, so I wouldn't rule it out.
	My understanding is it's not recognised by the British government, Sealand, that we just sort of let it exist.
	But who cares?
	Why mess with it?
	Yeah, what's the difference to me?
	I suppose as long as you don't start threatening economic interests of the UK, they'll leave it be.
	Say it's an offshore China bank repository or something.
	Yeah.
	I don't think there's anything morally wrong with what you've suggested there.
	I don't think there's anything principally wrong with your philosophical beliefs and the way that you'd structure it.
	Frankly, I would just suggest that the major problem would be the practical problems.
	But I don't think that anyone can begrudge you wanting a kind of American Revolution Part 2 off the coast of Northern Ireland.
	I mean, we'd come visit.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, it sounds awesome.
	Get internet access and maybe I'd think about it, you know.
	But right, Jaffo on the Bound says, of course they're not going to eat her lunch.
	They have control of the pantry.
	Yeah.
	Doomhand, here's some Freedom Bucks, Callum's shirt fund, you cheapskates.
	Thank you very much.
	Callum does need a shirt fund.
	50 quid for two shows.
	Carl, I had a dream last night that I visited the UK and I thought I was simping and kept avoiding...
	You thought I was simping and kept avoiding me, woke up very stressed.
	I'm sorry, Mark.
	I'm really sorry.
	My wife always does.
	I woke up and I had a dream where you'd annoyed me, so now I'm angry at you.
	I'm like, right, okay, I'm sorry.
	I don't know what to tell you.
	Do you want breakfast?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I got to work, I suppose.
	I'll try not to annoy you in your dreams tomorrow or tonight.
	No, no, no, no.
	That's all been received.
	That's been paid.
	Yeah, the reparations have been paid.
	Fencing Mitch says, Yeah, well, I mean...
	You get what he's getting at there, right?
	Yeah.
	But it's interesting how now that they can frame it that, oh, it's actually mostly white people, now it's in the public interest to release.
	So why is that...
	What was the problem before?
	Yeah.
	The leftists are trying to spin this as, well, now that we know it's mostly white men, that's the reason they said it wasn't in the public interest?
	Mm-hmm.
	I'm just like, that's moronic.
	Yeah.
	The government's happy to report that kind of stuff.
	Yeah.
	In the media, constantly, day after day after day, white people are the problem.
	Thug Life Bear, hate to be that guy, vicious columny equals vicious lie.
	He's Latin there, I assume?
	No, no, well, yeah, but...
	Maybe you misread something earlier or something.
	Why, Justin, let UK be Christian and stay Christian.
	Well, the problem is most people in the UK aren't really Christian, at least not in any sort of practicing way, although they do write themselves down as Christian on the census.
	And to be honest with you, right, I know this is going to sound silly, but I think I might do the same.
	Like, I'm an atheist, but at the end of the day, I don't want to write atheist on the census, because it's like, well...
	That's not really what I'm talking about.
	You know, it's more a sort of statement of cultural intent.
	And, yeah, I mean, I haven't been baptized, but I have baptized my children.
	Because, again, I'm not Christian, but it's traditional.
	It's what we do here.
	Would you call your kid a Christian if you baptized him?
	Well, he's baptized as a Protestant.
	Because that's the weird thing.
	I'm not going to force religion onto him, but, like, that's what we do in this country.
	What, is he ethnically Christian, then?
	Well, he's just culturally Christian, I guess.
	Well, ethnicity is...
	Well, yeah, I guess, yeah, part and parcel of it.
	But, like, to be specific, culturally Christian.
	But morally, principally, you know, in the values...
	Because we do have Christian values.
	All of the atheists of the West are espousing Christian ideals, whether they know it or not.
	And a lot of them...
	Like, Christopher Hitchens spends so much time denying this.
	No, no, no.
	It's like...
	I mean, he was a communist.
	Yeah, he was.
	But the communists are espousing the same goddamn things.
	You don't have great communist movements coming out of Islamic countries because of the values of Islam.
	They don't align with communism.
	The Enlightenment values are built on Christian values, a thousand years of Christian values.
	Anyway, I won't go into it now.
	Azathoth Pogging says, quick question on the name of the site.
	I don't understand how Lotus Eaters is seen as beneficial.
	Even without drugs, the island was still an escape from reality.
	Those inside were offered a life of complacency.
	Well, that's definitely Odysseus' account.
	But then Odysseus got everyone killed.
	And literally only Odysseus got back to Ithaca.
	If you'd like to go back to Ithaca, you be my guest.
	Or you can hopefully live happily with us on the island of the Lotus Eaters, and hopefully nothing terrible will happen to you.
	Can't guarantee it, but I can definitely guarantee what happens to you back at Ithaca, or on the way back to Ithaca.
	But it basically stands for a paradigm shift.
	I'll do a video.
	Now the website's up, I will do a video explaining it.
	Because, you know, it's cute.
	But anyway, again, don't listen to Odysseus' fake news, his smear merchantry.
	I mean, honestly, come on, you're not taking his word for it, are you?
	Not a bad account.
	BBC. Britain was originally a black Muslim colony.
	Probably inevitable that that will become the narrative.
	Strike Team 23.
	If nothing big happens, we need to be concerned.
	Why would Trump restructure the military chain of command?
	Oh yeah, that was another thing.
	Trump literally purged a bunch of generals.
	Like, re-shifted all of the military high-ups.
	I should have included it, actually.
	I forgot all about it.
	Like, there have been really big moves.
	So you think he's going for the military option?
	Well, locking the CIA out, changing out a bunch of generals, and doing all of the other things that we listed.
	Like, come on.
	This is...
	You know, these are huge maneuvers, man.
	And then all of these hacks and stuff that have been going on, it's like, okay, like, you know, I'm sweating, you know, I'm not going to lie, in conjunction with an executive order that would potentially allow him to essentially capture Silicon Valley.
	I mean, okay.
	We were joking about this before, that he should nationalise them and then just be like, well...
	You asked for it, socialists.
	You guys were asking for socialism.
	Socialism for socialists, I agree.
	They're not allowed to own property because they don't want to.
	But yeah, as I said, why would he restructure the military chain of command and broaden capital punishment methods only to hand enhanced apparatus to a Biden admin?
	And I think that there's one thing we can be sure of at this point is that Trump is not on the same team as Biden.
	Because there's always, oh well, George Bush and Obama are essentially on the same team because you can see the continuous ethos that's carried out in foreign policy and all these other things.
	Trump is a definitive break from all of that.
	That's a good thing.
	Like, yeah, you can change the candidates and nothing changes.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I must be proud about that.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's terrible.
	Azeroth says, complacency and comfort at the cost of isolationism should never be an end goal.
	I know you don't believe that either, so I'm excited to hear you explain this to my smooth brain.
	No, you're not wrong.
	I'm not saying that this is necessarily a mission statement or something.
	But I did feel that we needed somewhere that we could relax and not be at tremendous pressure from the mainstream and feel like we're constantly under a sword of Damocles.
	And that's what we're trying to build here.
	Somewhere we can feel at our ease.
	So we can consider these things with a rational and unhurried gait, hopefully.
	Save it for your video.
	I will.
	Statistics on grooming gangs.
	Jailed 84% Muslim.
	See Peter McLaughlin's website.
	There we go.
	It's just not part of the report.
	Yep.
	Why would we need that?
	Again, it's a very similar number to the Quilliam study, but they don't care about that either.
	Mute stream.
	H in the chat, boys.
	Let's show Hugo some love.
	Dean Loveday.
	Group child exploitation.
	Could be low-level offenders.
	Sharing CP. They conflated that with gang, R-word, which is 89% religion apiece.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They did make one good point, which was that the grooming gang, bad term, because a gang is something specific in law and all the rest of it.
	Like, they own territory, they interact with other gangs.
	The correct word we should be using, I think we should do this ourselves, is grooming network.
	Because that describes it far more correctly.
	Yeah, because, I mean, we know that they were passing victims between networks, between gangs.
	Like, you know, they drive them to different cities.
	That says there's conflict and all sorts of other things.
	Network is a much better term, you're right.
	Zaranek says, does it concern anyone that some or more of the grooming may be done by those better able to hide their efforts?
	I want more people on that hook.
	Hypothesis says, breaking news, Karen's involved with grooming gangs.
	Yeah, they are, actually.
	Yeah, I don't know if we'd call them Karens, necessarily.
	The kind of women who seem to be involved in these grooming gangs seem to be...
	The offenders, we're saying.
	Yeah, very much like the young ladies who were involved in Epstein, like Ghislaine Maxwell.
	They don't have to necessarily be Karens, but there are people, women, who are interested in that.
	Anyway, if the last thing the God Emperor does in his first term is drain the wanton swamp, he deserves to be on Mount Rushmore.
	Yeah, I mean, Trump's presidency at this point is just looking glowing and golden to me, especially in the light of what Biden's going to bring in.
	Convincing reality, does this report count each individual or instance of abuse, given that some groups were assaulting multiple people in the span of many years?
	I didn't read it.
	They don't give you specifics like that.
	They say they're looking over the academic data, the legal data they have, the police data, so there's nothing specific.
	One just assumes they looked at everything, but I can't say that with certainty because they just don't tell me.
	Maybe you should look at it.
	I honestly don't have the time to follow QAnon as well as everything else.
	Marcus Byrne says, Hello again.
	How do you pronounce Worcestershire?
	There we go.
	Also, checkmate Americans.
	Also, shameless plug for our conservative band Karma and Kerosene.
	Come check us out.
	Yes, go check them out.
	Aradni Sol says, gentlemen, what's your take on China engaging in massive joint chaining in Canada?
	P.S. Sargon, do you plan on having more of the politics of series?
	I absolutely adore those.
	I do, but at the moment, because we're building stuff up and I have to be involved in absolutely everything.
	To make sure we're producing enough content on a regular basis.
	I actually don't have time to do those at the moment, but I do have more of those planned.
	Also, looking into the philosophical meaning of things as well, which I'm really looking forward to.
	I keep name-dropping the Moana one, but that's going to be brilliant.
	You're going to love it.
	I'm really excited about it.
	But what we actually...
	This is why...
	This is another good reason why you should back us on Notices.com so we can expand the team.
	Because I think by the end of today, we'll have 2,000 subscribers, which means that we have, as we are, a sustainable business, which is wonderful, but we really need to be able to hire some more people.
	I mean, poor Vicky has just sat as the website manager and social media manager and all of these other things.
	You have to do all this video production after the podcast and stuff like this.
	And so I realize there's a lot of weight, and John is just constantly, constantly on the go.
	Yeah, it's like come in, write research, do scripts, things.
	Yeah, and I'm just researching all day, every day.
	John's always editing stuff, he's always looking at stuff.
	Exactly, and we haven't got an editor for the site, so Hugo and Josh are editing each other's articles, which is wonderful.
	I didn't have to set this up.
	The great thing about it is everyone is quite autonomous-minded that we've hired, so I didn't have to really organise any of this, because I've got way too much stuff to do anyway.
	But this is why you should back us, because I think we're doing a good job so far, but we could be doing a way better job if you guys join us.
	Robert Dunn says, these guys...
	Oh, by the way, on the joint training in Canada, I guess that we will eventually find that Trudeau takes money from China too.
	I mean, it's wild.
	It's mad.
	I heard about this the other day.
	I know we should be hurrying up, but sorry, we got loads of messages.
	Literally.
	I'm pretty sure they paid the Canadians for this service.
	Yes, and the Canadians are literally teaching them how to operate in Canadian territory.
	Why?
	Why would you do that?
	It's mad.
	But anyway, Robert says, those guys on the Big Convicted Pedos montage, know what they have in common?
	They love 29-year-olds.
	Why?
	Because there's 20 of them.
	Jesus Christ.
	Alright, disavow.
	Eric Edwards, would you get someone like Archon?
	I certainly would.
	President Lex Flatnick, thank you.
	Thug Life Bear, where to put draft for people to write to their senators?
	Yeah, but you should be writing to your representatives at this point.
	I think the GOP is doing that.
	We're not.
	We're on time.
	But yeah, seriously, as a citizen, and I don't just mean in the United States, I mean in Britain, in Canada, in Australia, in New Zealand, in any other country, you have representatives, you should write to them and say, look, even if it's just, look, I just want you to pay attention to this and be aware of this.
	Because, like the Hong Kong protesters say, you know, be aware of the CCP or be next.
	So...
	Anyway, Yuki Tayo says, I want a merch hoodie with it written on the front.
	You get what you deserve, and on the back, you get what you absolutely deserve.
	We'll see what we can do.
	We are working on merch.
	Adam Morgan says, Disproportionate only matters when it's about cops.
	Apparently so.
	Apparently that's the case.
	Yeah, Sulla's gravestone was great.
	It's just the most boss thing in the world.
	No friend has served me, nor enemy wronged me that I haven't repaid in full.
	And it's like, oof, you know, that's, that's, gotcha.
	And then he dies of, you know, in a hedonistic, opulent lifestyle where he just drinks himself to death partying.
	It's like, okay, you win.
	You won everything.
	Gotcha.
	You know, and if Trump ends up winning everything in exactly the same way, okay.
	I kind of hate the Sulla guy.
	Oh, he's great.
	Proper patriarchal, Roman patriarch.
	Dan's Corner says, coming from a serious practicing Christian, I can't decide whether you're the most atheist Christian or the Christian atheist I've ever seen.
	Well, I mean, I don't really believe in God as Christians conceiver.
	I don't think there's any real historical legitimacy to the Bible.
	But the question is really about the moral practices and teachings that come out of it.
	And what do we learn?
	How did they influence our societies?
	And you can't deny that this is the case.
	So anyway.
	Guitar operator.
	Sorry, Josh.
	I forgot about you.
	Terrible patter.
	You're all great.
	Please keep up the good work.
	Thank you very much.
	LJ says, supporting King Trump from Texas.
	It's not over till he concedes.
	Yeah, and it doesn't look like he's conceding anytime soon, does it?
	Edward of Woodstock.
	I don't think it's going to happen.
	I just have no religious bone in my body.
	But I am interested in a good ethical life.
	Like, you care about the moral stuff, not the zombie Jesus.
	Yes.
	Philip says, Happy Christmas, guys.
	Thank you.
	It's Merry Christmas.
	Goddamn American.
	No, that's British.
	That's even worse!
	You know it's Merry Christmas!
	I love the Lotus East website and the interview with Andy.
	No, thank you.
	We're going to see if we can get more interviews in the future.
	Nightmarish Vision says, For everyone with an issue with the Lotus East name, at least Sargon didn't pick the Turkish version of the Hitler Youth Like Cenk.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I mean, at the end of the day, I could have done way worse.
	You could have gone with the black shirts or whatever the Oswald Moseley's was, you know?
	Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't have gone with that, obviously.
	But yeah, no, it's...
	Nathaniel says, greetings from Oklahoma, USA. Spelled out, Oklahoma.
	Oklahoma.
	Yeah, exactly as I said.
	Actually, that is fanatic, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	MuteStream, still no merch store with Hugo Body Pillow.
	Why?
	We're working on a merch store, we promise.
	Alex Holt, what about having about adding an extra fifth or quarter to the podcast only for the members of the website?
	Well, this is what we want to do, like the Zoom call or the private thing is, but what we're doing is we are getting it so we can post things to particular membership tiers and And so what we'll do is kind of like a...
	So we can stream to the website as well.
	So we'll have like a members-only Q&A for certain tiers and stuff like this.
	We're getting it all sorted out.
	I promise you it is going to come.
	One of the Lotus Seated Body Pillows coming out...
	As soon as we can.
	But right, I think that's it, isn't it?
	So, thank you everyone for joining us.
	And we will be back tomorrow with another update on the inevitable civil war and collapse of the West.
	So, you know.
	Go join us at lotuses.com.
	I'm really loving this island.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Suddenly the island is so...
	Oh, it's an island where you're not really engaged with reality.
	Well, that would be nice, wouldn't it?
	You know, let's see if we can try to make one, shall we?
	Because reality is getting a bit weird at the moment.
	I'm not enjoying it as much as I was.
	Anyway, we'll see you tomorrow, folks.
