	Music Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for the 16th of whatever month it is, May.
	May, that's correct, yes.
	What year is it?
	2024.
	I want to get the date wrong, you know.
	I'm not quite going full Callum-fate even, but I'm getting there.
	Josh is going to be taking over Callum's thing of just not knowing what day it is, what year it is, what month it is, or what time it is.
	Where am I?
	Not knowing where he is, just basically being in a cloud, a haze for his entire life.
	Sounds about right actually.
	I reckon he knows what date it is now.
	Yeah, it says on my computer, actually, the joys of technology.
	But talking about joys, you can come on down to our merch store.
	It's 10% off all t-shirts and posters.
	Get them before they disappear.
	We're releasing some new stuff soon.
	I think we've just received the samples today.
	It looks great.
	But if you want to get any of this stuff, get it before it's gone.
	Who are we, Josh?
	You've not actually said who you're on the podcast with or what we're talking about.
	That's alright, it's not important.
	No, I'm here with Bo, Harry, and also Callum is here as well.
	You spoiled the surprise, Josh!
	Well, he's there!
	You've ruined my entire bit.
	Thank you very much for that.
	Anyway, yes, as a surprise for everybody, we've got him back.
	You all thought that he was gone for good.
	It turns out, in fact, we have a very special guest with us right now.
	Callum's here.
	Oh, no way.
	I never would have guessed Callum was here.
	Callum's here.
	He's not gone.
	He's not forgotten.
	He's here with us right now.
	He's got a lot of colour in his face.
	He's looking quite orange, isn't he?
	Isn't that right, Callum?
	Callum?
	It's just like he's back, isn't it?
	Callum, he's doing that thing.
	He's doing that thing where he just listens and stares and has nothing to say.
	What was that?
	He said, put me down.
	I've been waiting for him to say that for a long time.
	I said stop touching me.
	That does sound like Callum.
	He called me a freak.
	Fine, alright then.
	Fair enough.
	We'll put him away, put him down, before he gets into any trouble and before he hurts himself.
	Show the camera full on.
	Yeah, here he is.
	Just in case, for everybody who missed him, he's still here.
	There you are.
	And don't worry, he's gonna be here with us for the rest of the podcast, but let's get back What's he doing under the table, Harry?
	Let's get back to serious business.
	That's not the real Callum.
	Yeah, it is.
	Is it?
	It looks just like him.
	Yeah, it was close enough.
	Also, on the topic of people who are leaving, it is John's last day.
	There he is with Callum.
	And so make sure to, you know, show him your thanks.
	He's been here since the get-go.
	He's been here since I started.
	And yeah, so, you know, F's in the chat or messages in the written comments and we'll read some of them out at the end of the show.
	Special limited edition, one time only or two time only Lotus Eaters tankards there as well.
	Yeah, well.
	They actually might be worth some money one day.
	Once the Empire explodes and we control all media across the globe.
	Don't tell them our plan!
	And there's only two of those in existence.
	They'll actually be worth something.
	It'll be like the Crown Jewels, won't it?
	Yeah, you have to be in possession of those at any time to hold the levers of power.
	It's like the consoles of Rome, right?
	Like a set that a monarch has to hold.
	Yes!
	Yes, what we're going to be talking about today, because we are going to be talking about news, is The Guardian's attempt to dox a publisher, how a Congolese refugee did a bad thing in Germany, and Beau's going to be telling us about the Sycamore Gap, which is a tree that was cut down, and I suppose you're telling us what actually happened, because I don't know.
	Yeah, well that, and also I just use it as a vehicle to talk about the news and liars of omission and all sorts of other things.
	It's really just a conduit to talk about wider things really.
	But first, Harry.
	Yes, so before I begin anything else I should probably let everybody know that we are... I've not got a thing.
	Oh one of these?
	Oh yes.
	We're a professional outfit here.
	I knew I shouldn't have let you host this.
	I was being lazy.
	Anyway, so I'm all right without the mouse.
	So yeah, we've got a career opportunity still available for anybody interested for Production Manager, and we're looking for somebody with skills in videography, audio, and editing, available to work in London, with occasional travel to Swindon.
	If you're interested, you can find the full job specification on the webpage here at lodeteters.com slash career production manager, with hyphens in between the words.
	So let us know if you're interested, and please send your applications in.
	We'll get back to you.
	And on to the segment, so what do we know about leftists, gentlemen?
	Nothing at all.
	What are they?
	We've basically been engaging in a large anthropological study on this podcast for the past four or so years at this point, asking what are leftists like and what's the one defining characteristic that you would say ties them all together?
	Clinical retardation?
	Very close, very close.
	Attention for underage children?
	Uh, well, that's... yeah, that's another thing.
	But I'd say the defining characteristic of all of them is they're freaks.
	They're disgusting freaks of the lowest character.
	They're worms.
	They're worms twirling through the ground.
	We're a very impartial outlet.
	You have no respect for humanity or people's lives and their livelihoods.
	And if they see somebody more successful than them, they'll just immediately try to ruin them for no other reason than pure spite and envy.
	Would you say that that's a fair characterisation?
	Objective?
	Impartial?
	Let me check that out for any liars.
	Nope, undetected.
	No, no, I thought not.
	My noticing patterns have been homely fine over the past few years.
	And speaking of noticing, in fact, there's a publisher that publishes this book, Noticing, an Essential Reader by Steve Saylor.
	And Steve Saylor is a journalist and blogger who's been around for 30 plus years at this point.
	This is a collection of his essays from 1973 to 2023.
	And he's spoken for a long time about verboten topics.
	about things that you're not supposed to talk about and noticing patterns among say for instance crime statistics that you're not normally allowed to talk about and this is a collection of all of his writings which is published by Passage Publishing or Passage Press and you can find that on their website and this is important and this is relevant because this publisher, Passage, has recently been doxxed on Tuesday by the Guardian and one of their scummy Freak.
	Degenerate.
	Dysgenic.
	Waste of human flesh.
	Journalists!
	And you can find... We're not on YouTube today, or for the next few days, so let's go crazy, eh?
	Why not?
	Yeah, why not?
	They're freaks, and they don't deserve to breathe the air near me.
	And this is the article that has been published by Jason Wilson on The Guardian on Tuesday, and this has been a monumental backfire, because it has been turned into pure positive press.
	For the gentlemen that they have doxxed, who is the owner of Passage Publishing, who also goes under the name Lomez on his Twitter account, which was formerly anonymous, but now he's come out and said, yeah, this is me.
	And he's actually a man called Jonathan Keeperman.
	And if you were looking at this without knowledge of the culture wars or anything else, and you avoided some of the paragraphs where they go into slander and saying bad things about him, you would think that this is kind of like a promotional article.
	Because it turns out anonymous right-wing publisher on Twitter turns out to be normal, successful, handsome family man.
	Many such cases.
	Many such cases indeed.
	So let's go through a little bit of what this article is talking about and go over the details and then see what the reaction has been.
	Because Passage is a very interesting publisher.
	They publish new works from new authors, which I think is a very, very good thing.
	Even though Steve Saylor's been around for ages, as you can tell right there, it is still good to have these collections being put out and new authors, even those who are just going by anonymous names online.
	For instance, Rorik Nationalist, who's written for Lotus Eaters once or twice.
	He publishes his biannual journal, Men's World, through here.
	So it's really good to have these publishers who are able to take new work and old work that's gone out of print for years.
	Let's see...
	Yeah, you've got other things here.
	Xeno Systems by Nick Land, 10 Years at War, the Peter Kemp Trilogy.
	Peter Kemp was a gentleman who went to serve on the good side of the Spanish Civil War.
	The nationalist side.
	You know, killing commies.
	Very good thing to do.
	And it's good as well because Noticing, among other things, gets mainstream attention from big names.
	Like it's got a blurb, on the blurb, it's got a little passage written by Tucker Carlson.
	Promoting, saying how good it is.
	So it's interesting and great that we're seeing these new publishers come out, publish new works and old works that are getting noticed, and put more into the mainstream eye.
	Because it means the kind of ideas that we peddle in are becoming more and more mainstream, more and more acceptable to talk about.
	And hopefully, if we can have clarity of thought, we can have clarity of decision making, if and when we reach the levers of power after the collapse.
	Well, let's read what they have to say in here.
	So, Guardian Investigation identifies Jonathan Kieperman, a former lecturer at the University of California, Irvine, as Lomas.
	He was a former lecturer, and we'll get onto that.
	This identification is based on company and property records, source interviews, and open source online materials.
	The reporting has revealed that Kieperman's current status as a key player and influential tastemaker in a burgeoning proto-fascist movement came after years of involvement in far-right internet forums.
	Much of that journey coincided with his time at one of the country's most well-regarded writing programs.
	Kieperman first came to UCI as a Master of Fine Arts student and was also a lecturer in the English department from 2013 to 2022, according to Public Records.
	So even right then, from the off... Wow, he sounds smart!
	He sounds accomplished.
	He sounds successful.
	Cultured.
	Yeah, cultured.
	A man with a great wealth of knowledge that he can draw from at any time when he's making his writings online.
	Let's read more.
	In a June 2023 podcast interview, Kieperman characterized Passage Press and its literary prize as part of his effort To build out alternative infrastructure and alternative institutions.
	Now this is the important part of why they put out works like this, is because they don't want anybody to have an alternative to the quagmire of sludge and shit that we get exposed to every single day.
	They want The Guardian and other places to be your only locus to receive information from, with this incredibly biased perspective.
	and you can't have that if you if you have alternatives available so let's do the classic let's do the thing that always works as we dox this person put him in fear for his livelihood put him in fear for his family's well-being and safety because as we'll find out later this James Wilson is not one who's afraid of making excuses for political violence on his end for the far leftist because yes he has written articles in the past defending Antifa and their political violence by going Well, it fits against fascists.
	Is it really violence?
	Is it really unjustified, even if they were peaceful?
	But when everyone who is, you know, to the right of Joseph Stalin is a fascist, it sounds awfully convenient, doesn't it?
	It certainly does.
	But let's carry on.
	Repeatedly contacted Keeperman, requesting comment on this reporting at a personal Gmail address and a Passage Press address, and left a voicemail message at a telephone number that data brokers listed as belonging to Keeperman, but which carried a message identifying it as belonging to a member of his household.
	So they've been harassing him and his family for months.
	Just like pestering him, harassing him, leaving messages for his family, all in an attempt to scare him.
	Because that's what the ultimate aim of this is.
	Scare him into stopping.
	Scare him into shutting down Passage.
	Scare him into switching off his Twitter account so that he doesn't continue doing it anymore.
	But let's carry on again.
	Kieberman did not directly respond to these requests.
	However, hours after a request on the 1st of May, Lomaz on X castigated lying, libelous journalist activists and appeared to make veiled legal threats.
	Well, you are revealing his identity, which he's been keeping anonymous while harassing his family for no reason.
	I mean, what's the charge?
	If you were to take- Eating a meal?
	If you were to take Loméz to court over anything, what's the charge?
	What's the reason that you're doxxing him?
	What evil activity has he been taking part in?
	It's been- Publishing books?
	A succulent, uh, noticing book?
	Yes.
	What is the charge?
	Sorry.
	Gentlemen, this is Democracy Manifest.
	Perfect.
	I can see you know your libel laws well.
	No, uh, wrong thing.
	He's obviously guilty of wrong thing, isn't he?
	Yeah.
	Nothing more, nothing less.
	He just published books that hold ideas that you're not allowed to have.
	Like, uh... Like, fighting against communism is good, actually.
	And being a man is good, and you should be proud to strive and achieve.
	Noticing patterns.
	Noticing patterns.
	That's pretty legal.
	Which are published on the FBI website.
	Very interesting.
	Like many other far-right publishers, Passage's list is bolstered by reprints of out-of-print or public domain books by historical fascist and reactionary writers.
	These include books by radical German nationalist and militarist Ernst Jünger.
	Fascist Ernst Juncker.
	Isn't he a war hero?
	Yes, he was a war hero in the First World War and was notably an opponent of the Nazi regime in Germany in the 30s.
	He thought that they were a bunch of uncultured thugs.
	He wrote Storm of Steel, right?
	Does it say that?
	Yes.
	Oh no, they don't mention it here.
	If I carry on... That's an amazing book.
	I need to read it.
	Rory's got a copy, but I need to read it.
	But it carries on saying, Peter Kemp, who fought as a volunteer in Franco's army during the Spanish Civil War and helped save the country, and two counter-revolutionary Russian aristocrats, White Russian General Peter Wrangel and Prince Serge Obolensky.
	So, good books that everybody should read.
	But...
	The counter-revolutionaries in the Russian Civil War, it was a massive group of people.
	It was just everyone who didn't like communists, which, surprise surprise, is quite a few ideologies.
	I think they were on our side.
	Yeah, we funded the whites in the Russian Civil War, didn't we?
	Yeah, I think they fought alongside British and American units.
	Yeah, and some of those books by people like Rangel.
	As far as I can tell, aren't really available from any of the publishers.
	It was previously Mystery Grove publishing them, but then Mystery Grove shut down and passed the publishing rights to Passage.
	I don't know if you can get modern copies of those books from anyone else, obviously, except for Ernst Jünger, because a James McAdams professor of international affairs at the University of Notre Dame, who has done extensive research on far-right thinkers and publishing houses, said such publishers operate on the level of ideas, actual quote here, scary ideas.
	Ooh, scary ideas!
	That sounds like a serious expert.
	I don't like communism, ooh!
	I mean, seriously.
	Scary if you're a communist, yeah.
	These people are their own caricatures, and I wonder if they realise that, or if they're actually just that retarded.
	But it's also about wanting to be recognised, and finally, it's about money.
	This is a source of money, McAdams continued.
	The general public does not know about Ernst Jünger, but you can sell his books to the far right, and you can make money.
	Do you know who else is evil selling Ernst Jünger books to the far right?
	Penguin.
	You can get Storm of Steel from Penguin.
	I can go to Waterstone in Swindon right now and get a Penguin classic version of Storm of Steel.
	Which makes me think either they are trying to push it in such a bad faith way as to make it so that Waterstone and Penguin think, Ernst Junger was a fascist.
	He wasn't.
	But Ernst Junger was a fascist, therefore we should stop publishing it and stop allowing it to be in Waterstone.
	Or if these people are just that ignorant.
	Of what they're talking about.
	Can I say something just super quick?
	Yeah, go for it.
	Yeah, Ernst Jünger, his accounts of World War I are some of the most heart-rending, amazing, brutal accounts of war.
	It's sort of the human condition laid bare.
	The humanity of that man is incredible.
	Talking about the experience of nearly getting killed, seeing your buddies killed, killing other people and the real life, the real, real reality of that is harrowing and beautiful in that book.
	So to try and slur him as some sort of, I don't, it's just so weird.
	That's so weird.
	It's the only tactic they have.
	Ernst Jünger, of all people you could pick out from all time, you pick out a bona fide war hero who talks about the human condition more movingly than nearly anything I've ever read.
	Yeah, it's interesting that they pick out Ernst Jünger, probably because they can say that accurately, yeah, he was German, that's true, and he was a nationalist, yeah, he loved Germany, he fought for his country, of course he would be.
	So I think Having the word fascist around Ernst Juncker and knowing that in reality, yeah, he was a German nationalist makes people fill in the blanks.
	So they go, oh, Nazi.
	He must have been a Nazi.
	And I've been taught from the very second I was born that being a Nazi is the most evil thing you can be.
	So Ernst Juncker, I'll never listen to Ernst Juncker.
	I'll never read any of his books.
	I'll never touch them.
	Because if you read an account like Ernst Juncker's of the First World War, you might begin to believe in concepts like loyalty.
	Bravery.
	Heroism.
	Sacrifice.
	Yeah, sacrifice.
	You can't have anything like that.
	Not when the leftist audience is a bunch of degenerate freaks who would stab their own mother in the back if they got the opportunity.
	I'll carry on.
	Passage Press differs from many others in its niche in offering new work by the contemporary far-right's intellectual celebrities and curating in-person events in a far-right literary award.
	Publisher also produces high-end limited editions of selected titles.
	The Perdition, sorry, Patrician edition of Noticing, a book by Saylor, for example, is bound in genuine leather, gold foil stamping, and Smithsoon book block, according to the website.
	Though lavishly produced, the patrician offerings appear to have generated significant income for Passage.
	At the time of reporting, Passage has sold out its limited run of 500 patrician editions.
	It hadn't.
	Loméz confirmed this on his own Twitter account, but then confirmed that we're about to now because of this, so thank you.
	Um, uh, they are $395 apiece according to the website.
	This equates to some $195,000 in revenue, and good work for that, everybody involved.
	You know, you earned it.
	An earlier patrician- uh, patrician edition.
	That's really difficult to say.
	Patrician edition.
	Of winning entries in the 2021 Passage Prize, sold 250 editions at $400 apiece, representing another $100,000 in revenue.
	So once again, if you didn't know that this was a hit piece, you would read it thinking, wow, this is a success story.
	This is like promotion for them.
	Look at how successful these people are.
	And then it starts to go into some of his personal history and how they figured out who Lomas was.
	Oh, there's Rangel, General of the White Army.
	It looks like he's got a bandolier of cigars there, doesn't it?
	Which is a genius idea.
	Again, a very noble looking man, not dysgenic at all like those he was facing in the Red Army.
	It's that sort of Cossack dress, isn't it?
	Possibly, but I can imagine putting a picture of this next to Leon Trotsky and saying, which do you trust?
	His hat does make him kind of look a bit like a cup of coffee.
	Like a flat white.
	Not to be rude about the guy, I'm sure he's a great man.
	I'll continue here.
	Lomé's acquired early influence in the New Right movement by means of the Lomé's account on X which has 55,000 followers at the time of reporting.
	Now it's got about 75,000 followers so well done, you're doing great here.
	Internet archives have preserved the range of the posts which he attracted a large audience, but suggest that he had deleted many of these.
	One of the themes is an antipathy for racial justice protests, especially about the George Floyd protests.
	Lómez also supported those who responded to protests with violence, posting at the end of Kyle Rittenhouse's trial, That's a very well put statement right there.
	indeed and in his baseless persecution of what is good and decent and courageous and the forces arrayed against those qualities may a million Kyle Rittenhouses bloom that's a very well put statement right there anti-LGBTQ plus sentiments have also constituted a consistent theme on the account and as you can see on the little paragraph above the picture of Kyle Rittenhouse you can see where that ends looks like he's almost going like 2-0
	The bragging in the court.
	It does a little bit but in January 2020 he wrote that he was coming around to the idea that the most powerful and effective political argument against the left in 2020 is probably as simple as shut up And I'll let you all figure out the rest.
	Cigarette.
	Cigarette, yes.
	And then they explain, as they go further down here, how they figured out who he is.
	And this is where it becomes clear the absolute obsessiveness that has to go into figuring out who this guy is, purely off the back of, he publishes books I don't like.
	He publishes books that encourage people to do things like be good to themselves, look after themselves, and be good to the people around them.
	We on the left, we don't believe anything like that.
	Kieperman appears to have made considerable efforts to limit his online footprint, thereby reducing the possibility that he'd be linked to Lomé's persona.
	Kieperman has no discoverable profiles and his own name on social media, blogging, or professional networking sites.
	The identification was made possible by unavoidable traces left in public records, Um, such as property deeds and public salary records, but also by the sequence of events that led up to the announcement of the first Passage Prize.
	According to the Whois records, the Domain Passage Prize was registered on 6th of October 2021 via a domain name registrar who anonymized the domain's true owner.
	One day later, Passage Press LLC was registered in New Mexico, filings names Jonathan Keeperman as the sole member of the LLC and online legal services company LegalZoom.com, incorporated as the organizer keeperman founded new mexico company was dissolved in december 2023 passage press llc was re-registered in delaware on 9th of may 2022
	the delaware registration only identifies a corporate services company as agent and director and i could go on but he basically went through an incredibly convoluted series of tracking down all of this domain information lining up dates together so we could try and figure out who this guy is This must have been a lot of work and Lomaz Keeperman himself on his posts on Twitter has made it clear that this guy has been harassing him now for months.
	Because he probably figured it out a while ago and has been trying to hold this over his head like the sword of Damocles and say you need to stop publishing, you need to start giving me names, you need to start dobbing in other people.
	Because of course he works with people like Rorik Nationalist and he probably wanted his real name as well.
	He probably wanted him to dob in other anonymous accounts or else it's going to be you in the firing line.
	Your family might be the one in danger.
	This guy has worked with Antifa.
	Not worked with, but made cover for Antifa in the past.
	So there's all of these threats going on and it's all for the sake of you post ideas that I don't like.
	He seems very proud of his work.
	Even though it's behaviour of a douchebag.
	It's a lot of research for a Guardian journalist, isn't it?
	Yeah, it's actually done some work.
	This guy works for Bellingcat as well.
	Oh, so basically the intelligence agencies then.
	And they say here as well, a former colleague of Kieperman's who worked closely with him in such activism within the UC system positively identified Kieperman's voice from recordings of his many guest appearances on Far Right Podcasts.
	So this is to do with his UCI employment as a former English lecturer.
	So he tracked down his colleagues and confirmed everything with them as well.
	An individual with the screen name Mr. Lomez was a frequent commenter on Steve Saylor's iSteve blog between 2012 and 2014.
	The archives of Saylor's early blogging have since been transferred along with comments to the Unz Review, an aggregator of far-right content run by anti-Semitic software millionaire Ron Unz, who in the Bobby Fischer tradition, Is an anti-Semitic Jew, which is always very funny.
	So he goes through all of this and he talks about how he used all of this different information to collate it and figure out.
	He probably had a cork board like a maniac.
	Like he thought he was a real detective tracking all of this down.
	And then you ask him, why are you doing this?
	He's a book publisher.
	Oh, okay.
	And then they go talk about his high school sports achievements as well.
	Right at the bottom here.
	No, there's Milo Yiannopoulos.
	Why not?
	Why not?
	Throw Milo in, yeah.
	Well, in 2016, Milo was going to do a speech at the University of California, Irvine, and was basically hounded off of the campus by protesters, and Keeperman wrote in support of free speech, saying they should have let Yiannopoulos speak.
	But if you go down here, it says, Local news and high school basketball reporting from 2000 indicates that as a high school senior, Keeperman was an accomplished football wide receiver and star basketball player at Campolindo High School in Morega in Northern California.
	Joey and Jonathan are used interchangeably in this coverage.
	Morega is the same Northern California town where Keeperman was raised, according to the 2022 Parental Obituary.
	Yeah, you found this guy's dad's obituary and used that to cross-reference the info as well.
	Scummy.
	And it's also where Caperman celebrated his bar mitzvah in 1996 according to a contemporaneous issue of the Jewish News of Northern California.
	So he goes all the way back to his damn childhood to figure out that this 13-year-old in 1996, this was his bar mitzvah.
	And says about how he was actually a successful and well-liked high school senior who was good at sports and considered one of the stars of his team.
	I was going to say, something doesn't add up.
	He's a Jewish lad that was a wide receiver and a basketball star.
	It seems impressive, doesn't it?
	It's not what you'd normally expect.
	No, he sounds alright.
	He sounds like an alright dude.
	He's on the side.
	Clearly he's not posted anything on his Twitter to suggest that he's not on the side.
	He publishes books that nobody else would.
	And so he came out and said, yeah, no regrets.
	Breaking the Guardian.
	This is his account, which everybody now knows is run by Jonathan Kieperman.
	He says, So he's done the exact right thing.
	What he's probably had, because he's been harassed for months, is time to think, this is going to come out.
	I'm not going to sell out my friends.
	This is going to come out.
	How am I going to tackle this?
	in academia before starting a highly successful publishing company i'm sure so he's done the exact right thing what he's probably had because he's been harassed for months is time to think this is going to come out i'm not going to sell out my friends this is going to come out how am i going to tackle this so he decided to do the best thing which is lean into it promote it and say yeah no regrets screw you no regrets Jump on the old Barbra Streisand effect wagon and ride it for all it's worth, I mean.
	Yeah, because of this, apparently, he's posted about how Passage Press is about to overtake its first million sales since it started.
	So this has actually been a marketing masterstroke for him to take what could have been bad press and lean into it and use it as a way to advertise himself.
	He says this person has been stalking Loméz for months.
	He's a Portland-based anti-fat activist paid by a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate to harass people.
	He's been emailing, texting presumed former colleagues, texting my wife, attempting to get friends fired from their jobs for merely knowing me, invoking my deceased father, threatening to expose my blog posts from 20 years ago, my high school and college athletic achievements, please do, and even my nickname from middle school, a truly deranged individual.
	And he says, I founded Passage Press on the thesis that Americans desire new and innovative ideas and don't want to be stuck in the same cul-de-sac of stale thinking and empty pieties represented by a has-been, failing publications like The Guardian.
	I was right.
	Passage Press will clear a million in sales by the end of this year.
	And once again, it seems that this has sped that process up.
	And he's also been having fun with it.
	You made mention.
	Oh, wow.
	I didn't even know that They did that.
	Yeah, he's been having great minds.
	Doxxed for what?
	Publishing desirable, succulent books?
	And he used the guy's surname as a promo code for free shipping as well.
	I respect that immensely, yeah.
	This is what you've got to do if you're in this situation and you have the ability.
	I titled this Doxing is Losing Its Power, but of course, Jonathan Keeperman was already in an advantageous position to be able to turn this to a benefit for him, is that he was already seemingly independently wealthy.
	He'd already left the university that he was working for and was focusing on this, as far as I can tell, full time.
	And so he has the opportunity to turn this into a net positive for him.
	Doxing other people who don't have that same insulation around them is still a very, very bad thing.
	Just because it worked out well for this guy doesn't mean that if somebody else, like if one of us was anonymous, for instance, posting spicy stuff online without this kind of safety net that we have here, it would still be very, very bad for us.
	You know, when HopeNotHate did a thing on me, not only did I not need to worry about my boss firing me, Carl turns to me and says, go on the attack.
	Sure thing boss.
	Yeah I could lean into it because I had that I don't apologise for anything thing like Mr Keeperman has done and yeah not everyone's in that position unfortunately.
	If you are do it.
	Yes.
	If you're not it's actually really really out of order to What's the guy's name?
	Wilson?
	Jason Wilson.
	We know what he looks like.
	Yeah, we know what both of them look like and we'll see in a moment.
	The dysgenic freak versus the Chad meme is very, very appropriate here.
	But yeah, just take this as a warning that this is how far Bellingcat Guardian journalists will go.
	They will trace public records, they will search down your childhood reports in the local news, anything that mentions you, so they can try and get your identity out there and smear you.
	Because the threat is not necessarily that your name is going to be out there, it's that your name is going to be out there.
	And people are going to come for you.
	You're going to lose your job.
	You might be in physical danger.
	Perhaps your family and friends will lose their jobs or be in danger as a result of this.
	This is disgusting that anybody would try and do this to somebody.
	But once again, he's made the most of it.
	He's memeing about it.
	Can I say real quick?
	Yeah.
	If and when you are doxxed and it comes out, it's actually really liberating though.
	I made a decision to use my real name and show my face before I ever worked for Lotus Eaters or anything.
	Because this is the ground I stand upon.
	Here I stand.
	I could do no other.
	Bring it on.
	Whatever.
	I stand by everything I say and do.
	Within reason.
	And that is extremely liberating and someone can't sort of do a gotcha on you and say you were scared to stand up and use your real name and your real face.
	Well if you just use your real name and your real face and stand the hazards of the dire from day one then they've got no power over you.
	Of course, but still I would say that a lot of people who are posting anonymously aren't necessarily in the same position.
	To do that, they might have... I get that, but I mean, like I say, I wasn't working for Lotus Eaters.
	I didn't have the cover of Carl and the Lotus Eaters when I decided to do that.
	Some people, it's like, if I was going to lose my job, well, so be it.
	I'll figure it out at that point, sort of thing.
	Because they've got power over you, right?
	If you use a fake name and a fake online avatar thing and you go on the internet or Twitter or whatever and post super spicy stuff all the time, yeah, then they've got some power over you.
	Whereas if you do it in your own name and take the consequences as and when they come up in real time...
	It's more real, it's more honest.
	I know everyone can't do that, but you'll find another job, you'll do something, you'll figure it out.
	You probably won't starve to death.
	But still, if people, for instance, have families that are relying on them, they don't necessarily have to go through that kind of period of uncertainty.
	You are right that they will probably still be able to come out the other side of it okay, if they're able to find more work.
	But still, if they've got people relying on them and if they've got a period of uncertainty that they don't want to go through that could put their family through hard times.
	And besides, it should just be a right outside of any of that talk to be able to say, well, I don't want my name out there.
	I don't want to be posting on the moment.
	Although you are right that being under your own name is liberating.
	Certainly I post plenty of stuff under my own name that I don't care if people around me say, Harry, that's a bit far.
	Okay, deal with it.
	I don't care what you think.
	Anyway, like I say, he's been having fun posting some old reviews of him when he was a lecturer, where all of the people are saying he's fantastic, and lots of them are thirsting over him as well.
	Certainly nothing that will be the same for Wilson.
	People have been saying that, you know, he's gained followers over this.
	Here's a picture of him that was on the UIC website, and let's see the physiognomy check of the guy who doxxed him, shall we?
	So, there's Jonathan Kieperman on the right, appearing on Human Events on Jack Pasobek.
	That man on the left, that's Jason Wilson.
	The guy who works for The Guardian and Bellingcat who doxed him.
	Memes are always correct.
	Is it just jealousy?
	Is that what we're looking at here?
	Maybe, but this guy seems to be a professional freak, a professional envious degenerate, because his entire career with the Guardian seems to be him just saying, revealed US professor that was behind extremist site, revealed document shed light on shadowy far-right fraternal order, Ron DeSantis ally Chris Ruffo has close ties with Dissident Right magazine.
	His entire thing is he's trying to expose people who are anonymous, expose links between more mainstream figures and some of the people they might be associated with.
	He's just trying to do that thing that leftists do where they ruin your life and your career and you end up destitute in a hole.
	He's an investigative journalist!
	Yes, scum!
	Yes, I agree.
	Here's an article of his from 2018.
	The alt-right is in decline.
	Has anti-fascist activism worked?
	Here's a little excerpt from this.
	Anti-fascist groups have been the target of criticism from across the political spectrum during the first year of the Trump presidency.
	The right has made them the basis both of moral panics about violence and conspiracy theories of subversion, and other leftists have questioned the wisdom of anti-fascist tactics and strategy.
	The morality of political violence is a weighty and always important topic which we need to consider to constantly scrutinize and revisit.
	That said... What's coming up next?
	Most of the anti-fascist tactics described above are non-violent, and a lot of anti-fascist violence has been defensive, notably in Charlottesville.
	So this man's a liar.
	This man's just a liar.
	But again, this has all turned out to be a net positive for Lomaz because he appeared on Jacques Pessobek by the end of that day, and he also appeared on Stephen Bannon by the end of that day.
	So he's been able to turn it into a positive, and it's good to see that there are guys out there who are posting anonymously as right-wing posters on Twitter and business owners, for instance, who have the kind of insulation around them They need to take this and turn it into a positive because it just means that it's defanging it.
	And to be fair as well, every single time somebody gets revealed like this and gets revealed to be a successful family man, It just makes us all look better, doesn't it really?
	Anyway, sorry that went on for a bit, let's go on to the next segment.
	So...
	Congo Man didn't do nothing.
	But before Congo Man, I've got to mention that there is a merch store.
	There is 10% off all t-shirts and posters.
	Get them before they're gone because we're bringing out some new merch soon.
	So if you want these, you'll never be able to get them again if you miss them.
	So check it out.
	So I need to grab that.
	There is an article here, which is all in German, but thankfully I have translated it, and I'm going to read it.
	So this is the main industrial newspaper, I suppose.
	It's called a Kraft newspaper in Germany, but it's supposedly Half of all businesses receive this newspaper in Germany that, you know, it applies to if they're in that industry.
	And they wrote an article about this fellow who was a refugee, basically trying to write a puff piece for refugees in that they're saying, look at this guy, he's the perfect person to integrate.
	He has moved to this country from the Congo.
	He's become a baker, he's taken up boxing, he's doing very well.
	He's a model minority, more German than Germans in fact.
	Yeah, so I'm going to read this, obviously in English, and I'll give you a picture of what they're trying to say and what they're trying to paint here.
	So Moisy Lahombo is a journeyman baker and wants to start as a professional boxer.
	That's an appropriate dog.
	That's foreshadowing in the business.
	That's what we call it.
	In the boxing ring, however, Moisey becomes the bullet, a tough fighter whose long-term goal is the world title The young Congolese is passionate about his sport, which he has recently started practicing as a promising professional.
	He boxes at various events.
	In boxing, it's something like Bayern Munich in football, explains a 23-year-old.
	His path there was not easy.
	At the age of eight he came to Germany with his sister who was one year older than him because there was a war and shortages in the Congo.
	When is there not?
	I mean if that's the reason then all of the Congo can leave.
	The seriously ill mother had already received medical treatment in Germany and received a donor kidney.
	The father sent his children to her but she was unable to properly care for them due to her extensive treatment and so Moise ended up in a nursing facility.
	It says there were ups and downs, as he describes his time during puberty.
	Youthful sins, he asserts today.
	What stabilised him was on the one hand sport, first football, then boxing in a local club.
	On the other hand was also his training in the bakery trade, which is their reason for writing this, I think.
	Moyse lived in German word.
	It's a place, I presume.
	Of course, they had excellent connections with the some other place.
	It is how he is describing his centre.
	Alright, my ancestors didn't fight two world wars for me to pronounce these things correctly, alright?
	Can I just say as well, his poor mother, I hope she doesn't come up in this story again.
	Again, that is what we call in the biz, foreshadowing.
	But anyway, it carries on to say, you know, he's a good boy.
	He bakes cakes, he says.
	I bake a cake, for example, a really good strawberry cake.
	Women really love that, I know that.
	He also found baking itself interesting.
	There was always a lot more going on in winter than in summer.
	The Germans are more addicted to Stalin and cookies.
	After completing his training, he immediately found a job at a large bakery in Wisbeden and also attended evening school at Hessen College.
	But the desire and then the chance to become a professional boxer was stronger.
	I'm very happy that I took the journeyman's exam, emphasizes Moisey Lahombo.
	I now see how difficult this is with many friends who don't have a degree.
	But now the young man is really starting out as a professional.
	He won his first fights and is dreaming of international titles in tournaments.
	And it carries on, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	They're basically trying to say, listen this guy came from one of the worst parts of Africa, he came here, he started boxing, he started baking, isn't he great?
	And then he integrated and everyone lived happily ever after, he was a net tax contributor to Jim.
	I know what you did, I know you know what he did, but Beau, what do you think happened after this obviously very happy story?
	Well, the fact that you said about the foreshadowing thing, does this dog maul his mother to death?
	Well, it's close-ish.
	I don't blame you for making that jump.
	I mean, he had that nice photo.
	There he is.
	The media called him the boxing baker flagship refugee from the Congo convicted of raping his mother.
	Yeah.
	But, right, one sec, just scroll down a little bit for a second.
	He looks so friendly!
	He's smiling in this picture!
	Yeah, we'll be addressing this soon.
	He can't have done anything wrong!
	He didn't do nothing!
	There's the nice photo!
	But he's smiling in a photo, therefore he can't be a criminal.
	You know, Ted Bundy, he never smiled.
	Did he?
	Never.
	He's never seen us charming.
	But I'm going to read a little bit from this because I've read a lot already.
	Shortly after Lahombo's release from prison in August 25th last year, when he was serving time for drug offences, that was his youthful sins by the way, He committed the crime in the apartment he shared with his mother.
	Before the crime, Lahombo darkens the apartment with blinds and closes all the windows and doors.
	Meanwhile, he threatens his mother with a knife and intimidates her that he would kill her if she refused him sex.
	His mother offers him money for a prostitute so that he would spare her, but in vain.
	During the rape, Lahombo abused his mother with punches in the face so the apartment was covered in blood during the crime.
	Following the ordeal, Lahombo apologized to his mother, removed the bloodstains and called an ambulance and fled.
	So his mother had a bleed on the brain and she spent a significant amount of time in hospital, which is probably the most horrific thing that can ever happen to a mother, isn't it?
	Yeah, that's awful.
	And just to clarify the timeline as well, so he was released from prison August 25th last year for drug charges.
	When was that other article that you were reading from? 2017.
	2017.
	Okay, so was this all, was his bakery career, was this, was that just like a short stint that he did in between major prison sentences?
	Well, he seemed to get into a lot of trouble.
	This article goes into great detail, I think, because there are pictures.
	Here is his dog, Betty, here.
	Isn't that so adorable?
	He doesn't look like he's going to mug you at all, does he?
	He doesn't look friendly in this one.
	No, there he is.
	Slightly less intimidating, even with boxing gloves on.
	And yeah, there he is.
	I mean, his poor mother didn't stand a chance there.
	And there he is.
	They didn't use that one in the industrial puff piece, did they?
	It's just the most sickening thing that you could possibly hear.
	And this sort of thing, you know, happens in Africa, unfortunately, quite often, particularly in places like the Congo.
	Not so much in, you know, Northern Europe, where we are civilized, basically.
	We don't do this sort of thing.
	I know you've got people like Fritzl, but still, these are very unusual cases, whereas where he's come from, although this is still quite extreme, it is more known to happen, right?
	And yes, exactly.
	It carries on basically saying that yes, actually, he had a history of crime.
	Even when he came to Germany and he was put into care or what have you, he was known for beating up other children and had a long history of delinquency.
	So he's not a model citizen.
	The only reason they're doing that is because they want to promote more refugees to come to Germany, presumably, but also, you know, other countries.
	Take our jobs.
	And I don't think it's a good idea, personally, looking at this.
	I don't think I want people like this in my country, or even to really be alive, for that matter.
	I think this person should be killed for what he did.
	I think that's a fair punishment.
	This actually reminds me of something else.
	You know how there's been a lot of discourse about dog attacks recently?
	It reminds me of this meme.
	You have them showing the picture of the person at their best.
	But actually, what they're really like is the dog in the jumpsuit there, right?
	Yeah.
	I mean, typically there's only the one nice photo of them, which is at some kind of graduation where, you know, they won't typically tell you if they did well.
	They've just done well enough to get a graduation photo and there'll be nothing, as you say, like the other one.
	It's a complete manipulation of people's understanding of the world around them.
	It's a lot, doesn't it?
	Where there'll be a young man convicted of stabbing someone to death or something, and then the media will show a nice smiley picture of them if they're the right race, and his mother will go on camera and say, he was a good boy, he didn't do nothing!
	The accent's deliberate.
	Yeah, it's normally that way, isn't it?
	They're just trying to say that these people who obviously are violent scumbags are somehow victims of something.
	They're not.
	They are the people creating victims.
	And it's sickening to carry water for people like that.
	I mean, what it's telling you, as you're going about your day-to-day life, and you start to notice that the composition of your town and your neighborhood is starting to change, is trying to tell you, don't keep your guard up.
	Don't keep your guard up around these strangers that you don't know, and that you think might have violent intentions for you.
	They're all just, the picture, they're a smiley, happy pitbull, walking around, they've just graduated university, they're probably doing a baking degree, probably doing baking, and they're perfectly the same as you and I, perfectly normal.
	Keep your guard down, which gets people killed.
	If you want to humour this little tangent here, I went on a website called Animal Health Foundation and here I found an interesting statistic because I like my facts and data.
	Where is it?
	I think it's somewhere around here.
	Okay, here we are.
	Although pit bulls and rottweilers only make up 6% of dogs in the US, they're responsible for 77% of all dog bites.
	And if you scroll up, you can see, actually, it's largely just pit bulls, and lumping in rottweilers is a touch unfair, although they are still... They're still over double German shepherds, but I've met plenty... Most, if not all, of my encounters with rottweilers have been pleasant.
	Has Moisey's dog done anything in this story?
	No.
	Alright.
	It's a bit of an analogy really.
	Alright.
	It's a nudge nudge wink wink.
	I like pitbulls.
	I'm sorry Bo, but looking at the data it seems like they've got a genetic predisposition towards violence.
	Speaking of which, there was an Excel bully dog ban in the UK and because of a lot of the news stories doing the rounds, a lot of the public support the ban on them in the UK.
	I think it's in England and Wales, isn't it?
	Because Scotland had to introduce its own ban.
	But 44% of people strongly support a ban on Excel Bully Dogs in England, which I find interesting.
	I don't think the discourse when applied to other things is quite as consistent.
	But there are many cases of this sort of thing.
	Here we have the Moroccan asylum seeker who murdered an old man, I think, just a stranger in the street and he killed them for the people of Gaza for some reason.
	Yeah, this was the really inbred looking, there he is, look at the state of him.
	Shouldn't have been here.
	Again, every one of your natural instincts, if you see somebody who looks like that, will scream to you, keep your distance.
	Stay away from him.
	This man is dangerous, he's got dead glazed over eyes, his mouth is hanging open like he's retarded.
	Stay away from him, he's probably low impulse and will hurt you.
	Which turned out, in most cases, to be true.
	The media would have you believe that your instincts are wrong.
	Actually, he tried to stab the person who was in the same refugee accommodation as him, or whatever it was, and the police just said, ah, don't worry, he only, you know, he didn't actually do it, did he?
	So this could have been prevented if the police did their job and said, okay, there's a lunatic threatening to stab people, maybe we should do something.
	It could have been prevented if people took these sorts of things seriously.
	Another one, there was the Clapham Alkaline attack.
	This was a row over asylum, I think, and this guy who was let in was already a sex criminal.
	We already knew this and we let him in anyway.
	Look at him, look.
	That haircut, I mean, that's not been seen in Britain for at least a thousand years, that haircut.
	Lloyd Christmas haircut.
	It's a dumb and dumber haircut is what it is, isn't it?
	That's Lloyd Christmas.
	Oh, is it really?
	Oh, right.
	It's been a long time since I've seen it.
	And it's not just Britain as well.
	It happens in the United States as well.
	Migrant who stabbed fellow asylum seeker to death at New York tent shelter, asked security guard to let him finish the job.
	So, yeah, lovely people.
	The original guy, what's his name, Moise Lehombo or something, what was it?
	Lehombo.
	Lehombo.
	If you go back to his, the original picture, that he's a good boy, a good baker, studying to be a... Like... Oh!
	There we go.
	Like, um, you said he'd beaten up kids when he was younger, he'd been in prison for drugs, and then that assault on his mother left blood all around the apartment, she had bleeding on the brain.
	And throw a rape on top of that.
	Mm-hmm.
	Like that's a demon.
	Yeah, it's an absolute monster.
	That's a demonic creature.
	Yeah, absolutely the deaf deserves a death penalty.
	100%.
	That person is never safe.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	That's what I was about to say.
	That sort of person almost certainly cannot be made to be non-mental.
	Can you guess how long he was sentenced for?
	Three years.
	More than that.
	Okay, seven years.
	Almost.
	Eight years.
	A bit higher.
	Ten years.
	Nine.
	Nine.
	Alright.
	He'll be out in 24 hours.
	Saying that in German sounds weird, doesn't it?
	He'll be out in 9 the number.
	So he'll probably be out in 4 or 5.
	Unless he commits more homicides or something, I say more, I don't know if he's a murderer yet, but unless he does more crimes inside, which I imagine he probably will because somebody like that sort of can't stop themselves.
	Again, low impulse.
	Yeah, just basically, yeah, probably clinically retarded and a maniac.
	So they won't be able to be rehabilitated?
	I'll put money on that.
	Have you seen those clips that go around Twitter sometimes of the guy who, I forget which country it is, but they're in some sub-Saharan country talking to some guys who say that they've raped someone and he's saying, don't you feel bad?
	And they say, no, I wanted to rape her so I raped her.
	But isn't that wrong?
	Well, maybe, but I wanted something so I took it.
	And they just... They go, what about the woman?
	And they're like... They don't even understand the question, do they?
	Logically, they can't comprehend it.
	And I don't want those people being imported in record numbers into my country or any European country.
	But no, all cultures are equal, right?
	Everyone's the same.
	You know, human beings are basically just universal.
	There are no differences.
	Dear, dear me.
	So yes, sorry for such a harrowing story, but I thought it was a very good demonstration of how the left has almost, you know, murderous consequences by the looks of it.
	Very dangerous people are coming into Europe and North America because of people's inferiority complex.
	And it should stop because I don't think that the West should be allowing people like this into their nations because they bring nothing good.
	He's done nothing for Germany.
	Okay.
	Oh, you've got one.
	Never mind.
	If a pitbull's raised right, they're really loving.
	He was a good boy!
	He didn't do nothing!
	They are a fighting breed, so it is in their genetics, I'll give you that.
	But if they're raised right, they don't just attack people for no reason, it's because they've been brutalised.
	It's because they're raised in poverty, in a bad household.
	A lot of people, arseholes, they keep a pitbull and they brutalise it.
	So it does attack anything it can attack.
	And then when it does, it's very good at it.
	Still don't want them near me.
	I understand.
	A well-raised pit bull is an adorable creature.
	Absolutely adorable.
	Anyway.
	Anything that can kill me loses the ability to be referred to as adorable, I feel.
	What's that dog they bred to kill wolves?
	I forget what it's called.
	It's got the really long, the buoys.
	A boars oi.
	Boars oi.
	I'll get one of them.
	Just in case.
	I'll introduce my boars oi to your pit bull.
	They look so silly.
	If it tries anything, sir.
	They look like a Bloodborne boss, don't they?
	I love Borzois, because they're ridiculous fellows.
	I'm going to have to look one up now.
	I'd like to own one of those giant Mastiffs that looks like an actual Hellhound.
	Oh yeah, they're great.
	I'm going to own a very small dog to compensate for my masculinity.
	Testosterone is just too high.
	Yeah, all dogs are great, that's mine.
	Okay, so what am I going to talk about?
	The Cumberland Gap thing.
	So, people may remember that last year, I think it was the end of September last year, a particularly picturesque, beautiful tree was cut down in the middle of the night.
	Now, can I put a picture of that up, John?
	Do we have a picture of the first picture?
	There you go.
	So, this is Hadrian's Wall, if anyone out there might not know.
	When, during the second century AD, when the Emperor Hadrian and the Romans occupied Britain, they got all the way up to near-ish where Newcastle is, that sort of level of the country, and to keep out the barbarians north of there, they built a wall, Hadrian's Wall.
	There's another one a bit beyond it, the Wall of the Antonines, but anyway, much more famously, and it follows the ground where it's best to build a wall, a defensive wall, and at this particular point in the countryside there's like this dip, this literally two hills there, and just by chance there's a sycamore tree grew there, it's a few hundred years old, a fair few hundred years old, I think two or three hundred in the region of that hundred years old tree.
	And it was sort of famous.
	It was extremely, it is, it was, extremely picturesque.
	It even featured in the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves movie.
	Have you ever seen that from the 90s, Kevin Costner?
	Long time ago, yeah.
	I haven't actually.
	There's another one with Morgan Freeman.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	They crowbarred Ina Saracen into the Robin Hood story.
	Been going on for longer than people think.
	Right, yeah.
	And I like Morgan Freeman, he's a good actor as well.
	He's a great actor, yeah.
	But that was new to the story.
	Yeah, that wasn't part of the original story.
	Robin of Loxley.
	Anyway, it featured in that film and it's just an extremely picturesque spot and people loved it and it's a tourist attraction.
	And protected by a heritage, I think it was, the National Trust or something or other.
	And people would go there and sort of sometimes get married under it or sprinkle the ashes that near there and it was absolutely beloved and a bit of an icon.
	A bit of an icon.
	In September last year, in the middle of the night, someone came along and just chopped it down.
	It's a Roman sympathiser.
	They didn't like the tree worship of the Celtic peoples.
	Yeah, how dare you try and Overshadow Hadrian's Wall.
	No, so it was a bit odd because obviously it's just like one of those things, oh another image, another sort of iconic image of Englishness has been sort of destroyed.
	And to begin with the accounts were that we just didn't know it was done in the middle of the night in sort of secrecy, surreptitiously, covertly.
	The first stories that came out about it were that a man in his 60s had been arrested, or had been questioned, and a boy who was 16 had been questioned.
	It turns out all that was just erroneous, I think, it seems, at this point.
	So there you can see, and even the next picture as well, what's quite remarkable.
	Oh no, go back one.
	Yeah, these two guys actually did it.
	It was a really professional job.
	On the other picture, if you go back to the other picture, you can see there was paint around it as well.
	I noticed that as well.
	Which is quite a professional thing to do because they did it at night.
	I've done that before, yeah.
	They did it at night, in the middle of the night.
	And there's only real two proper cuts.
	So again, someone that knows exactly, they know how to fell a tree.
	A big tree as well.
	You might not get the scale exact from that, but it's a big old, it's a big old sycamore.
	I mean, that's a good one for scale.
	That's an enormous trunk.
	And so you need, they needed a special, I say specialist, they needed a particular type of chainsaw that's long enough to do that.
	The only people that really have that at hand might be farmers or actual like forestry professionals, right?
	It seemed, because for a while no one really knew because the police were quite tight-lipped about it.
	Who it was and stuff.
	Some people thought it might be sort of our cultural enemies.
	Turns out it's not by the way.
	But that's what some people thought.
	Why would you?
	Why would anyone cut down that beautiful tree?
	Sort of a picture card perfect image.
	Of a sycamore in the English countryside and stuff.
	But anyway, they obviously had a specialist, nearly, bouldering on a specialist chainsaw to do it, and obviously knew exactly what they were doing, because it's sort of almost, almost perfectly carried out.
	It's not necessarily the easiest thing to do if you don't know what you're doing, right?
	Especially in the middle of the night, in complete darkness.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Apparently it was, I can't remember if it was actually a storm or if it was raining or stuff, but it was certainly in the pitch dark.
	And it's not really anywhere near a road.
	Apparently you have to walk a fair way, have to trek a fair way to get there to that bit of Hadrian's Wall.
	There's not just a car park right there or anything.
	So they would have had to, it was sort of obviously planned out.
	So anyway, it was cut down and for quite a while people didn't know it was a mystery.
	Like, what happened?
	What on earth?
	Anyway, now they have arrested a couple of guys, or more than arrested them, they've started their trial.
	It's some London road men, dressed in suits.
	This honestly looks like they're about to put them on their knees and shoot them in the back of the head.
	Finally, justice has returned to the British Isles.
	They look like they're about to be executed.
	I mean, their names are Daniel Graham, He's 38 years of age, and Adam Carruthers, 31.
	Now, we don't know, because the trial's only just started.
	We still don't know what their motivation was.
	We can speculate on it.
	It's probably not a brilliant idea to speculate on it, but we can.
	No one's stopping us.
	Well, it's an ongoing trial.
	Karl's not in today.
	We can say whatever we want.
	It's an inside job, man.
	It doesn't really matter what it is.
	I've heard some speculation about Um, to do with who owns some land and sort of revenge and spite over some sort of land dispute, maybe, who knows?
	Who knows what it is?
	That's an incredibly spiteful thing to do even over a land dispute, if that's something.
	Well, almost whatever their reasoning was, it's, it doesn't make, it's not okay.
	It's unacceptable.
	It's unacceptable, right, yeah.
	It's unacceptable behavior.
	just um yeah I will be interested to find out and if and when they get convicted I'll do another bit on it where I'll tell you what came out in the trial um but I wanted to talk about it a bit then there's another uh professional job anyway uh you can see there uh was it the last link put up the last link Or the other one.
	Now there's a little fence around it.
	And apparently the tree actually isn't dead.
	A tree stump can actually stay alive for quite some time.
	And if it's plugged into a network of trees that are related to it, they can actually keep the stump alive.
	Like a tree had been cut down a couple of hundred years ago and its relatives kept it alive for hundreds of years by feeding it nutrients for its root system.
	It would never regrow again.
	No, it was still a stump.
	Right, right.
	So it is ruined for all time.
	Could we not glue it back on?
	Get some araldite.
	Mix up some wood glue real quick.
	Stick it back.
	Use flex tape.
	Up to the job.
	Gorilla glue.
	Yeah, so no, it's a real shame.
	Obviously, its antiquity is nowhere near that of Hadrian's Wall itself, or the landscape.
	But still, you know, it's a few centuries old and people loved it.
	It was sort of a dear thing, so it's terrible.
	Apparently, they've said it was... it will cost... well, the damage is.
	The thing is, even if these guys are found guilty, I don't think they can be given a fantastically long custodial sentence or anything, because their crime is illegally felling a tree.
	Which in the scheme of things isn't a massive crime.
	Normally that is a very small crime, like it's a slap on the wrist.
	I know that for reasons.
	I think for symbolic reasons it needs to have a harsher penalty.
	So I say, you know, split it down the middle, we cut off their hands.
	Yeah.
	That's a joke, just in case.
	In the public square, Re-Ed style.
	I do it in Re-Ed.
	Well listen, we used to do stuff like that, and people behaved themselves when they knew that they'd lose a limb over it, didn't they?
	People never chainsawed down trees in the medieval times, did they?
	No.
	And that was because of the punishment.
	Exactly, I'm glad that we can figure this out.
	They didn't chainsaw them down, they just used a hand axe.
	They did karate chop them down.
	I've played Ark Survival, they punched them down.
	In Minecraft, yeah.
	Punching the trees.
	So apparently it'll cost in the order of over £600,000, the cost to the sort of local area in tourism.
	Oh, I see, yeah.
	That's what the court has decided.
	It seems quite arbitrary, but that's what they decided.
	And it did fall on Hadrian's Wall.
	That cost something in the tune of a grand, or 1100-odd quid, or whatever.
	So some damage to the 2,000-year-old Roman monument there as well.
	But I also wanted to talk about this, because the angle of what does and what doesn't get reported Because at first when there was a lot of speculation that it must have been some of our cultural enrichers that did it just purely out of spite.
	And so at that point it was like, you know, none of the mainstream media was talking about it or they talked about it as little as possible.
	But now we know it's two white boys.
	They're all happy to talk about it.
	And it's just, you know, just one more example of that sort of thing.
	For example, how the murder of Stephen Lawrence Apparently haunts our entire culture forever.
	Let the murder say Emily Jones never gets mentioned ever.
	Stephen Lawrence was an interesting one because the haunting took a while to kick in because what he died in 92 and it was only in 97 that the report came out and it became a big thing.
	He died in 93, 22nd of April.
	93.
	So before I was even born so I don't care.
	Yeah.
	That's 95.
	And it became a big news item a few years after, almost like it was pushed along by racial grievance activists rather than anybody actually interested in justice.
	And his mum.
	They made the Stephen Lawrence Foundation that his mum runs.
	She's a dame now.
	Really?
	Well, did she have any money before that?
	I doubt it was her by herself was able to get all of that attention.
	There was probably some big money interests behind all that.
	Make her appear.
	Sure.
	But yeah, no, so the point is, is that, um, you know, some things, I mean, everyone knows, most people that are watching this know I'm preaching to the choir, right?
	But if there's anyone out there that watches this segment or anything and this is news to them, I could break, burst their bubble in any way that, yeah, nearly everything on the mainstream media is sort of hand-picked.
	To fit their agenda.
	It's not just the news is it?
	It's not just here's some events that are noteworthy in and of themselves.
	It's a handcrafted narrative is how I like to sort of characterise it.
	Even down to an illegal tree felling.
	Even down to that.
	If it turned out it had been to foreign people that just hated the beauty of the landscape on Hadrian's Wall, and did it out of pure animus, you wouldn't be hearing about it.
	Because these guys are pale, male and pale, Who knows if they are or aren't stale!
	Now it's newsworthy according to places like the BBC.
	Endless examples of it, and I feel like, I mean, do you guys agree that it's becoming sort of more egregious, right?
	Oh, almost.
	So like, a friend of the channel, Devin Tracy, aka Atheism is Unstoppable, does good stuff on this, where the narrative in America anyway, but it's not just America, it's here as well and all over the The Western world, including Australasia and stuff, is that when there's a mass shooting, they want to make out that white people do mass shootings, that white people go postal and do mass shootings.
	And in fact, the statistics are that it's massively not white people that do mass shootings.
	Like 95% or something.
	There's an excellent rebuttal to that of just people collate the mug shots of all of the people who shot two or more people that year and it is largely African Americans.
	Devin Tracy does that sort of thing.
	That sort of a monthly thing.
	Who did the mass shootings at like two, three people or more?
	Who done them this month?
	And there'll be like two or three white guys and all the rest are non-white.
	Out of dozens.
	I imagine most of them are entirely localised to ghettos as well.
	Because it'll be black-on-black violence if it's mass shooting, probably into gang violence.
	Well, that's not news, is it?
	Because it happens so often, it's just like, oh, a leaf has fallen from a tree.
	I mentioned Steve Saylor earlier.
	He's got a metric he uses to guess before any other information comes out.
	Who it is, the race of the person who's performed the mass shooting, if it's happened in a big public square, which is, if there's more injured than killed, then it's a black guy.
	If it's more killed than injured, then it's a white guy.
	Even in mass shootings?
	Nine out of ten times, it's correct.
	Really?
	Yeah, he's gone through a lot of that information as well.
	Because we like a better shot?
	Is that what you're saying?
	We actually hold the gun the correct way up.
	Yeah, we're better shot.
	I think the implication is as well that if it's a black mass shooting, oftentimes they're just trying to kill other gangbangers and other people get caught in the crossfire.
	Whereas if it's white guys and they're committing a mass shooting, generally they're going out to kill a load of people and take themselves out.
	It's not like the militia groups in Central Africa where they Change the sight settings on the AK to make the gun shoot harder when it's actually just the aim Yeah, I've heard that You don't know about that?
	I've not heard of it.
	On some fixed sites, you can raise or lower the actual metal.
	Oh yeah, I know that.
	Right, so the higher up it is, the more powerful the bullet is.
	You actually think that?
	Yeah, I've heard that.
	Oh, that's amazing.
	Well, they realised that they weren't hitting anything.
	And they're like, why is that?
	Oh, we had the gun in the wrong setting.
	Of course!
	I had it on hard.
	I had it set to stun.
	So yeah, that was basically what I wanted to say, but it seems to be getting worse to the point where it's... it's absurd though, right?
	Where you know exactly... again, who's it you said does that?
	Steve Saylor.
	Steve Saylor.
	I am planning on getting his book at some point because I'm sure it's very interesting.
	I'd like to read it as well.
	It's to the point of cliche where, you know, where if they don't release the name or the mugshot of a perp, It's because they're the wrong race for the narrative.
	Whereas if it's a white boy, they tell you who it is and put his face up immediately.
	Also, you get sort of so-and-so man quite often in like the headline and there'll be like an asylum seeker who had been living there for like a few weeks and it'd be like, I don't know, Cardiff man.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like, really?
	Colchester man commits gang rape.
	Is he born and raised in Colchester or something?
	Colchester, Pakistan, yeah.
	Yeah.
	So anyway, that's the bit.
	Okay.
	Onto the video comments, I suppose.
	Oh, there are some trees.
	It's the rainy season here, so a lot of people go looking for mushrooms.
	So I am deep in the woods doing some mushroom hunting.
	Hope I don't run into a bear.
	Or worse, a man.
	I did run into some mushrooms.
	Unfortunately, I'm not really sure what kind of mushrooms they are.
	So I don't know if they're edible.
	But they do look interesting.
	I like this sort of thing.
	It's not fly agaric, so... No.
	A lot of the ones that grow on dead wood tend to be poisonous.
	You know, you've got chicken of the woods, which, as the name suggests, is quite tasty.
	But other than that... That's not the real Callum, is it?
	I think it might be!
	Hello, Callum!
	Callum, you've come back!
	Callum, do you have any contributions to make so far?
	How are you feeling about the podcast today?
	Oh wait, no.
	It didn't work!
	Sorry!
	You've got bits!
	You've got audio!
	Oh no, where's it gone?
	Sorry guys.
	Sorry about this.
	Can you believe this guy?
	I know, I know.
	Here we go.
	I'm bald.
	Oh.
	I'm bald, it sounded like he said.
	That's what he had to say.
	Damn it, Callum!
	His head is so bouncy.
	I have to have a kick-up competition later.
	In all seriousness though, I miss him greatly.
	Oh, sorry, I was reading the comments.
	I was going to say about Mushroom.
	Also, I've just got to ask, she said hopefully not a man or a bear.
	What if it's a man in a bear outfit?
	Even worse.
	What about just a really big bloke who's a bit hairy and may not be gay?
	Bear is just a hairy gay man.
	Oh he's gay?
	That is a prerequisite.
	Sort of like an alpha gay man.
	So a big hairy straight guy you can't call a bear?
	Is that right?
	He has to be gay?
	Is that right?
	I don't know.
	Someone's put in the chat, has Josh dyed his hair?
	No!
	I'm 28!
	He's not that stressed yet.
	What were you going to say about mushroom massage?
	I was just going to say there's some great content or programs by Ray Mears.
	I love Ray Mears.
	We love Ray Mears on this channel.
	We've asked him to come in multiple times, he's banked us.
	We still love him anyway.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Love old Uncle Ray.
	And there's some, there's, he did a bit about, a series about, you know, like bush tucker, or what would you call it?
	Just natural foraging for food.
	And bushcraft.
	Bushcraft, or food, the food angle of bushcraft.
	And most natural mushrooms and fungi are poisonous.
	To some degree or another.
	So be very, very careful.
	I was going to say that.
	Almost certainly don't eat mushrooms you've found.
	Also, it's worth mentioning, if you are confident in your ability to identify mushrooms, I suggest only picking ones that don't look like ones that are poisonous, because there are some which are perfectly nice to eat, but then they might look like a very poisonous mushroom.
	And it's just better not to eat those and find other ones.
	Because sometimes weather conditions and the environment can make the signs of identifying the dangerous ones or telling them apart different because they're actually quite changeable.
	So be careful.
	It's one of those things I just wouldn't risk it because poisoning yourself with some mushrooms you're going to have a bad day.
	I once went picking mushrooms and then I started seeing weird shapes.
	It was very strange.
	Like liberty caps?
	I don't know.
	Anyway.
	Don't eat wild mushrooms?
	Is it just a fairly good rule of thumb?
	That's all.
	But if you have some, send them to me.
	What?
	Um, no.
	Let's carry on!
	Yes.
	While I am sure many of us are familiar with the concept of Rule 34, it is actually part of a larger rule set created at the dawn of the internet.
	The cultural appropriation by the left wing was described long ago by rules 42 and 43.
	Read them for yourself.
	Nothing is sacred.
	The more beautiful and pure a thing is, the more satisfying it is to corrupt it.
	That's very true of leftists, yeah.
	Are these leftist rules?
	No, this is just rules for the internet.
	But those two apply to leftists.
	My personal favourite is 31.
	Yeah, that's... There are no girls on the internet.
	Rule 30, if only.
	That sounds so lame.
	What the hell is GTFO?
	Get the F out.
	Okay, alright.
	Okay.
	I don't know loads of these things where people put just four letters or something.
	Yeah I know those ones.
	I quite often have to look them up.
	Like what is that one now?
	Someone put for the win the other day and I was like what is that?
	FTW?
	Yeah I didn't even know that one.
	I hate the fact that Rule 36 is so accurate, there will always be even more effed up shit than what you just saw.
	That's why I try and limit a lot of my internet access, because I just don't want to come across this stuff.
	I like how you censored the F but not the S. Ooh, my voice.
	There's a hierarchy of swears.
	That's true, yeah.
	Rule 43, he pointed out there, that's like straight out of the mouth of a demon.
	Some would argue the internet is filled with demons.
	I deliberately censor myself in all sorts of ways.
	When ISIS set fire to a captured Jordanian pilot in a cage, it was around that time or a bit before then, I was very very consciously, no I'm not going to I'm not going to watch loads of disgusting snuff footage and stuff.
	I used to follow a couple of people on Twitter that would almost daily post real crime stuff.
	And it was like people getting killed and stuff, like all the time.
	And I'm like, oh, I've seen like a hundred bits of snuff in the last six months on Twitter.
	No, no, I'm gonna unfollow this person, I'm afraid.
	No, no, I'm not gonna... Like, the two guys that set themselves alight recently, I haven't seen either of those.
	I don't want to.
	I actively don't want to.
	Because once it's in your memory banks, it's there forever.
	It's not good.
	It's not good.
	It isn't good for you, no.
	No, it's really not.
	Some people said, when I unfollowed that guy, they was like, oh, this is how we got in this position of letting our cultures and stuff be overrun, because you're too scared to look at reality, look at the truth.
	It's like, no, no, I've seen plenty, thanks.
	Like, how many real life murders do you need me to see?
	What the hell is that?
	Watch the snuff or the west dies?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Fuck off.
	It's like, do I need to see like a quick fire compilation of real murders every single day?
	Is it?
	Yeah, I just need an idea of what it's like and yeah.
	But anyway, onto the next one.
	Let's move on to something hopefully more cheerful.
	It's California refugees, so I imagine so.
	A random and short one here.
	Just wanted to share this website that I was put onto about common fluorescent minerals so you can decide what you want to get if you want to get some and what it'll look like.
	Nice rocks.
	They're minerals, actually.
	Nah, rocks.
	Glowy rocks.
	He's always very wholesome, this chap.
	I know, I very much appreciate this sort of thing.
	It's also nice that I've learned something.
	I do a lot of research on politics and the news and things like that.
	And I don't follow things like this, but I used to love, you know, learning about the natural world and things like this.
	So, you know, mushrooms or minerals or, you know, it's really important to have an appreciation for the world you're meant to be preserving.
	Otherwise you get lost in the weeds of what, you know, politics and it all becomes for naught.
	Yeah, glowy rocks are cool.
	Again, I deliberately cleanse my palate, so to speak, with wholesome stuff.
	I'll be Doomfield or Blackfield with just politics or whatever, working doing this job for example.
	And yeah, I'll just deliberately watch some shorts that are like cute puppies or something.
	Yeah, my Instagram is 99% cute cat videos.
	Oh, a cat person?
	I like cute cats.
	Do you not like cute cats?
	You're a pit bull, man, and you don't like cute cats.
	No, no, no.
	I much, much prefer dogs to cats.
	But who doesn't like a cute cat?
	Yeah, some cats are cute.
	I've grown up around cats.
	I grew up around dogs.
	I've never tried to evade.
	I'm offensive.
	As far as I'm aware.
	I had both.
	I like both.
	I can't pick.
	I don't hate cats.
	To be fair, I will get a dog soon.
	Get a collie.
	No, my missus wants a sausage.
	Dachshund.
	She wants a Dachshund, yeah.
	Okay, yeah.
	They're cute.
	Yeah, they're really cute.
	Get a chocolate short-legged one.
	Yeah, that's what she wants.
	Is it really?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I've said before.
	We've got to get through the video.
	Sorry, sorry, sorry.
	Yeah, that first episode of the "The Gay Stereotype" needs to be analysed.
	It has a pro-abortion message.
	A message of you need to take the refugees because for unstated reasons we can't go home to a whole planet that is right below us according to the episode.
	And there's a monster killing babies.
	But we cannot kill the monster.
	We have to let the monster live and be among us because killing it would be evil.
	One episode.
	Doctor Who was this made for?
	Yeah, I've heard that it's got record low viewing figures.
	So like 2 point something million, wasn't it?
	My dad over the weekend asked me, oh, do you want to- do you want to watch- I recorded Doctor Who if you want to watch it.
	I told him no.
	He said, oh, don't you even want to see how bad it is?
	No.
	I don't want- I've got so much life to live.
	I don't want to waste my time watching shit that I know is awful already.
	What's the point?
	I'm not going to just, like, hate watch it.
	Yeah.
	You know, got no time.
	Got no time for that whatsoever.
	So the video you're watching is from two years ago when myself and a bunch of other reenactors from all over the world met up in Greece.
	Now the reason I bring this up is because we are going to be meeting up again in Greece this July.
	It's going to be a strictly non-political event with a focus on historical education and experimental archaeology.
	I'm letting you guys know because I think it would be a fantastic opportunity to produce some historical content for the website.
	If that's something you guys are interested in, Put me in contact with Bo.
	I'd love to make it happen.
	Speak of the devil, there he is!
	That's awesome, by the way.
	I love stuff like this.
	Sort of historic reenactment and sort of even the medieval martial arts side of things.
	It's all great.
	I really want to get more involved in that sort of thing.
	The guy's actually calls himself Spartan Lycurgus.
	That's pretty base.
	He's obviously really into it.
	Yeah, no.
	Yeah.
	On my own channel, History Bro, you can find some really long form content with me and Karl before Lotus Eaters ever started.
	And there we talk about Thucydides or talk about Xenophon, Xenophon's Anabasis.
	And there's some stuff.
	Oh, there's an Epoch's on Lycurgus.
	So, yeah, I'm fascinated in classical Greece, of course.
	Whether we can actually get out there for July, I don't know, but I'll see if I can contact this guy and see if we can sort something out.
	I don't know.
	No promises, of course, but that would be cool.
	It would be cool, for sure.
	I'd be very jealous.
	Just some nice pictures of flowers.
	This is nice.
	This is a nice palette cleanser.
	The video comments are just perfect.
	It is a graveyard by the looks of it, but it's a nice palette cleanser from the topics we cover.
	People are going to think the stream's cut out with being so quiet.
	Yeah.
	Hypnotized by nature.
	I've been in a graveyard though, it's slightly mordant.
	I imagine Californian graveyards are a lot more uplifting than, you know, your English ones where they're, you know, you've got almost certainly a whole crow's nest or rook's nest.
	It's all grim, a bit overgrown and sodden.
	All the gravestones are sort of mossed over, some of them you can't even read.
	The idea of ashes to ashes, dust to dust, that you return to the earth.
	Don't get too big for your boots, even Alexander and Caesar will return to clay one day.
	I want a pot made of Julius Caesar please.
	It's what he would have wanted, an amphora.
	And there's a hole in your wall, your water and oil wall, and you stop it up with Caesar.
	That's from Hamlet, by the way.
	I'm just not making it up out of fun.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, sorry.
	Anyway, carry on.
	Don't worry about it.
	I forgot that was in here.
	Is the sound cut out?
	Because I can't hear this either, unless they're both quiet.
	This is definitely meant to have sound, I imagine. - What are the... Oh, it's from Legend.
	I was about to ask what is the thing at the bottom, but it says it right there.
	Do we have audio?
	Can the audience hear?
	The great works were somehow designed with white people not in mind.
	Should we take it back to the beginning?
	I'm absolutely sweltering in here, by the way.
	Sorry if I look sweaty.
	So I've been seeing them defending, you know, woke-ifying things like, you know, Doctor Who by saying, well, it was never made for white people.
	Well, at the same time, insisting that, you know, you can't have, like, straight pride parades or something because, well, the whole system was made for white people anyway, so you don't need it.
	And it's very Schrodinger's sort of, um, everything was somehow made for uplifting white people, while at the same time insisting that all of the great works were somehow designed with white people not in mind.
	Yes, a load of nonsense isn't it?
	It's sort of aggressive tolerance.
	That's ultimately what it boils down to.
	It's just that ideological opponents can't have their own culture.
	They must be destroyed and they must submit to us or be hounded out.
	To the point where people like this, like that thug girl, whatever her name was.
	Bambi Thug.
	Yeah.
	I'm actually firmly into the territory of just feeling sorry for them.
	Like not angry or resentful, it's just like, you're terribly broken.
	You're terribly, terribly, you're going to be unhappy probably your whole life.
	I'm just gonna say, when you're presented with that stuff, step over.
	The only reason it's thrown in your face in the first place is because people know, like the producers and the people behind it know it's supposed to be infuriating.
	They know you don't like it.
	You're not supposed to like it, so just ignore it.
	I don't know who this thug person is, I've never heard of her before, and I'm much better for not knowing it.
	It's spiritual poison, so don't take it into your life.
	I say this, you're saying all of this while I'm stripping off here.
	So I said I was going to make a video about this a couple of weeks ago, and I finally got around to it.
	it's cool nick buckley in previous eras you would have like why does the sun rise well god makes it rise so i said i was going to make a video about this a couple of weeks ago and i finally got around to it here it is oh by the way now that callum's gone i need a new victim i i I mean, a new helper to tell people where to find my website and my YouTube channel.
	Any volunteers?
	Is that what he's on about?
	Is he on about his website cscooper.au?
	The one that you can buy all of his books off?
	Cooper... Is it .co?
	.co.au is it?
	.com.au That's confusing.
	cscooper.com.au Oh, okay.
	Alright.
	Let's have a look, shall we?
	We can figure out if anybody wants to say cscooper.com.au Here it is.
	I found it.
	Josh, you found cscooper.com.au.
	cscooper?
	What was that again, Harry?
	cscooper.com.au cscooper.com.au.
	I like it.
	Well, we'll see what we can find for you.
	We do have some, before we finish, we're running a bit late.
	Can we go over by like five minutes, John?
	Is that okay?
	Well, we've got some Rumble Super Chats.
	Yeah, that's what I mean.
	Yeah, I want to make sure we cover all the comments because we did overrun a bit today, didn't we?
	The first one on here is for $1.
	Thank you very much from Neo Unrealist.
	Asking, did Harry play Ark on Carl's personal server?
	By the way, let Carl know that he owes that kid two Ankylosaurs and he still bitches about it.
	I'm gonna have to break everybody's heart here.
	I lied.
	I have never played Ark.
	I've seen people play Ark.
	Everyone knows Carl is an ankylosaurus sink.
	You give him an ankylosaurus and he'll never give it back.
	I've seen videos of people punching trees in Ark.
	I've no idea what you're talking about other than that.
	But there are comments for John here actually.
	I'll quickly read those as well.
	John, thanks for all you've done and godspeed on your future endeavours you magnificent bastard.
	You're welcome.
	He says you're welcome if you can't hear that.
	Someone online says it's like Callum's back with us.
	Also salutes for John.
	What do you mean like?
	This is Callum.
	This is... Guys...
	If you fell over then...
	Guys, this is Callum.
	I don't know what you're talking... I know he's a bit quiet today, but he can be like that sometimes.
	He is a bit like that sometimes, yeah.
	Remember everybody, he's not gone.
	He's here.
	He's not got AIDS in Africa.
	He's here.
	Okay?
	Alright?
	Okay.
	St.
	Benny Pax says congrats to Harry for being featured in Paul Joseph Watson's video this week.
	Oh yeah, you heard about that.
	I've not actually watched it.
	I do a few contributions for Ozzy Wire now and supposedly he took part of the video that I did for that.
	I'm waiting for my royalty check, Paul, so please get in touch.
	My people can liaise with your people.
	We can get Callum involved somehow.
	I'm just going to read the...
	The Rumble chats and then we can go to the regular comments as per usual.
	So the Shadowband says, I knew a really sweet Pitbull.
	They can be nice but big and stinky.
	So there you go.
	You've got some Pitbull love there.
	They can be among the most affectionate dogs and complete softies.
	But then again, I would like a Spaniel that couldn't maul me to death.
	So, Bo, what you're doing is you're showing me a picture of him smiling, graduating, going, look, he's so sweet, he's so nice, he's fine.
	He was a good boy.
	It's like guns don't kill people, people kill people.
	It's like pitbulls don't kill people, the owners that brutalise the pitbull kill people.
	I'm sure there's plenty of truth to that.
	And Sean487 says for the sycamore tree segment, by the way guys could you put rooting compound on the roots and regrow an entire row of trees?
	Oh right, I didn't know that was a thing.
	Neither did I. That's good to know.
	So would you like to read a couple of comments for your segment Harry?
	Yeah, I'll read one or two.
	Kevin Fox says, odd that these people who get their panties in a bunch about how bad the mid-century Germans were, their slaughtering removal of individual rights, general behavior, have no issue with the likes of Mao Stahl and Pol Pot, all of whom did exactly the same things or worse, but get a free pass because they had the right or left ideology.
	Well, that's the exact reason you've named it right there, there is the fact that um uh in imprinting in people's minds from an incredibly early age that the nazis are the most evil thing that's ever happened in human history allows you to smear anything that could be associated with their ideology as another case of nazis
	and you you automatically fill in the gaps say well if you believe in national identity or anything else than the nazis believed in then automatically the end result of that will be genocide
	whereas with the left you don't get those same promotions because if you say well if you believe in egalitarianism flattening all achievement down to the lowest common denominator equalizing property so it's redistributed well that leads to mass famine mass murder genocide concentration camps as well The Khmer Rouge, yeah.
	The Khmer Rouge, etc.
	Well that doesn't work for the ideology that we've got in power because the ideology we have in power is inherently left-wing and communist.
	In many ways.
	And I'll read another one from here.
	Bleach Demon says, Storm of Steel is the most brilliant and honest depiction of the Great War, though I would bet some of Junger's other amazing works like The Forest Passage or Glass Bees, this hit piece against the intellectual right needs to be afuera into the sun.
	Now, I think you need to print it out as a poster and just print out some of the great quotes from it.
	If Passage is gonna be smart about this, which he is, then what he should do is he should take quotes from that, saying about how successful they are, and plaster them all over the website.
	Okay, I'm gonna read two very quick quotes- quotes?
	Comments, and then I'll go to Bo for another two, and then we'll have to wrap up, unfortunately.
	Roo the Morning says, Jesus- Jesus?
	I don't know what that is.
	Jesus Horatio Christ, Josh.
	We are having a good time.
	I'm sorry.
	And, uh, Where was it?
	Hector Rex says you can take the man out of the Congo but you can't take the Congo out of the man, which is very true.
	So, Bo, make a couple of comments, probably some shorter ones.
	Someone online said, in America these dudes we get at the guys, I guess he's talking about the cut down the tree, we get raked over the coals, we actually have really extensive tree lawns.
	I didn't know that.
	George Hap says, uh, the felling of the sycamore gap tree is malicious and evil.
	It is.
	Uh, this is some sorriman-like behavior implemented by orcs.
	Yeah, it's really weird.
	I wonder, I am genuinely interested to know what their, uh, no doubt lame reasoning was for it, whatever it is.
	Um, I mean, it's possible there was a really good reason, like there's some sort of elaborate Some sort of elaborate blackmail thing going on and some innocent children somewhere else would be killed if they didn't.
	OK, if that's what it is, then I'll allow it, I suppose.
	Chop down the tree or else.
	Yeah.
	If it meant saving the lives of some innocent children or something, then all right.
	Fair enough.
	But obviously it's going to be something really lame and petty, isn't it?
	It's going to be a super new scheme.
	Yeah, it's going to be something...
	Dumb and self-absorbed and petty, I would have thought.
	But we'll wait to see.
	But yeah, it's evil.
	Malicious.
	Yeah.
	Grace.
	And talking about evil and malicious, you can find us again tomorrow.
	We've got another podcast on Friday.
