	- Hello beautiful people.
	Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters.
	Today's Monday, the 3rd of June, and this is podcast number 928.
	I'm your host, Elias, and I'm joined by Bo and Dan.
	Hello, James.
	Today, we're going to talk about Tommy Robinson's Saturday protest, the knifing of peace in Germany on Friday, and how Dr. Fauci was just making it up all the time.
	So, it's going to be some very salty segments today.
	Before we say more about this, we have a new magazine, The Islander.
	It's a massive success and you don't have long to go and order it, so go and check out our merch store and be some of the lucky ones who are going to have this wonderful magazine.
	Right, should we go on our first segment?
	Yes, why not.
	So, as you know, at the weekend it turned the 1st of June, which is of course Pride Month.
	And I thought to myself, right, how am I going to celebrate Pride Month properly?
	So I thought, I know, I'll attend the largest far-right rally Britain has had in the last few years.
	So, I went off to London.
	And we saw, as the Daily Mail is reporting here, this large Tommy Robinson protest on Saturday, on the 1st of June.
	Now, you can read the article if you like, and I don't think they like Tommy and us lot much, to be honest, reading this thing.
	They quote, Um, who say that there was between two and a half and three thousand people on the march.
	That was disagreed by the police, um, who said it was actually about ten times that.
	Um, and in addition, there was somewhere between half a million and a million people watching it live.
	Is this the mail?
	Yeah, this is the mail.
	They've, they've actually removed their comments on this because it was, it was so universally, um, rounded on by their own readers.
	Uh, they, they took the comments out.
	Who owns the male group?
	I don't know who owns it.
	It's just when I did my little piece that got me in trouble.
	With hope not hate.
	Yeah.
	And deselected from reform.
	One of the things I mentioned that should go with like the Socialist Workers Party, the Communist Party.
	And all journalists.
	The BBC, Channel 4, Channel 4.
	Yes.
	And the mail group.
	Yeah.
	And people were like, wait what?
	People like Toby Young were like, what the mail group?
	What's the mail group done wrong?
	They're completely mainstream aren't they?
	No, they're just like all the rest.
	Yeah.
	They're just like all the rest.
	Oh, I mean they'll run out of boomers sooner or later anyway.
	Um, but yeah, on the crowd size, um, I mean, that's only a segment, so that's about a quarter of it.
	But, um, Parliament Square can hold about 25 to 30,000 people.
	And in addition to that, you had huge numbers sort of milling around the edges as well.
	So, I think there was easily 35,000 people there, and that's about what the police said as well.
	So, um, yes, it was well attended, and then all the sort of, you know, hundreds of thousands that were watching it online as well.
	The Daily Mail also, there was updates coming from the police throughout this as well, and one of the lines that did make me chuckle from the Daily Mail article was they shared that the police put out a tweet at quarter past two in which they very disappointingly said, while there haven't been any offences so far, And you sort of feel for them, they really wanted to arrest people but they couldn't do it.
	I saw something this Saturday on Twitter, there was someone from the Hope Not Hate group who was constantly posting, and at some point he said that a lot of people are leaving now.
	So it's really funny if on the one hand he's texting that a lot of people are leaving now, it's a bit boring, and then they go and portray it in a sort of demonic way.
	I did have a look for the Hope Not Hate people, because I thought it would be easy to find.
	They're the ones who look like they've got a trust fund and they're calling each other Sebastian and Champagne or whatever, but I couldn't find them.
	But anyway, so anyway, what I wanted to do is, because obviously we were getting smeared on the media as being this sort of awful far-right group, I thought I'd set the AI on it.
	So what I did is I went to the AI and I said, right, analyse all of the articles from Britain in the last couple of years and piece together from that what the policies that these awful, awful far-right people are in favour of.
	And it sort of went away, it chugged around and then it came back with something.
	And these are the things that these awful, awful far-right people, their sort of policy positions.
	So I'll start with nationalism and sovereignty.
	They emphasise a national identity and cultural heritage.
	Outrageous.
	Yeah.
	Is there any Chad Gibbety link on this?
	Oh, no, I don't think there is.
	I don't think there is.
	I made my own notes on this.
	Maintaining national sovereignty and opposition to international organisations.
	I mean, that sounds all right to me.
	Of course, yeah.
	Immigration.
	Implement strict immigration controls and prioritise culturally similar countries.
	That makes sense.
	A bit weak, if anything.
	Enhance border security and deport illegal immigrants.
	Again, not going far enough, right?
	Yeah.
	So this is the far right here.
	Euroscepticism.
	Oppose the European Union and advocate for independent trade agreements.
	Right.
	Law and order.
	Anti-terrorism.
	Now that was a bit that got me, because all of it so far, I was reading it and thinking, yeah, that sounds sensible, and then I found out that they were opposed to terrorism.
	How dare you be opposed to terrorism?
	I mean, what next?
	Rape?
	Um, yeah, so, um, yeah, so, uh... I thought that was all fairly sensible.
	Oh, yeah, and also, um...
	Economic and nationalism.
	Protectionism for local industries and reduced welfare state.
	I just want to quickly explain this.
	I might actually do a Broconomics on this at some point.
	But actually, yeah, you do want a little bit of protectionism.
	And the reason you want that is because we have regulations in this country.
	So we've got things like child labour laws, quite sensibly.
	You know, we don't want children working.
	But what that does is it means that in other countries that don't have child labour laws, they can produce stuff cheaper.
	So all you do is you work out roughly what advantage it gives those other countries and then you add that as a sort of levy, as a custom for stuff coming in.
	Because otherwise you're not lowering the total amount of child labour that goes on, you're just exporting it to somewhere else that will do it.
	Same thing with farming.
	You're lowering it domestically?
	Yeah, so you're outlawing it domestically, but you're raising the cost of doing business in the UK.
	So fine, whatever the amount of regulation you impose on British businesses, whatever that cost increase is, you apply that as a tariff for places that don't do that stuff.
	Quite sensibly.
	So, I mean, take farming for example.
	We have lots of animal safety laws, lots of laws on nitrates and other bloody stuff that affects farmers.
	If we're going to do that stuff, and maybe that's all sensible, maybe we should do all of that stuff, you impose a tariff on stuff coming in from countries that don't do that stuff so that you're balancing the playing field and you're not just exporting the problem that you're trying to stop to another country.
	All sensible stuff.
	So basically this is traditional conservatism?
	Um, yeah, I mean, well, I mean, not as a conservative party.
	Not the Tory party.
	Yeah, they go all over the place.
	Philosophically speaking, traditional conservatism.
	Yes, yes.
	So, I mean, there's nothing... Oh, yeah, and the last thing was, um, education and culture promote traditional values and resist progressive social policies.
	So that's what these awful, awful far-right people stand for.
	The opposition of progressive politics.
	Yes.
	Yeah, obviously.
	Yes.
	What do you say to sort of a laissez-faire libertarian who says something like, people should be allowed to do everything... because I know you've got libertarian leanings, like you want the tiniest... Yeah, but I think we're out of it.
	But like, you know, if a company in Britain wants to use child labour, For example.
	And there's children out there that are prepared to do the job.
	What is it the business of the state to stop them from doing it?
	Yeah, to be fair, I did start work at 14.
	I just lied about my age and got a job.
	Um, and I suppose that was my choice, but... So, I kind of see what you're saying, but... But all the same, I'm not quite up for, like, toddlers up chimneys, or anything like that.
	Yeah, no, I'm not advocating for child... like, slavery or labour or anything, just to be clear.
	I just wanted your opinion on that.
	No, I was... if anything, I was being more value-free on that.
	I was basically kind of saying, if you are going to have all of these regulations that affect British businesses, and that raises the cost of doing businesses, no matter what it is, whether it's bloody child labour or nitrate laws or packaging requirements or...
	Or labelling, or whatever it is.
	Well, if you're going to increase the cost of doing business, put that as a tariff on stuff coming in from elsewhere.
	I can represent the libertarian.
	They could say something like, when it comes to the workers and their criticism of syndicalism, they could say that unless you accept child labour, you are sort of not accepting the kids that want to work and want to enter the market from an early age.
	Yeah.
	I didn't want to so much make this a mini Broconomics, but yes.
	Mr. Broconomics cannot make it about it?
	No, well, yes.
	I just wanted to share that actually this far-right label is being applied to basically everybody at this point, and actually all of the stuff on that list was perfectly sensible.
	Right, shall I share my photos?
	Um, oh yes.
	So, um, Bossman Karl, he did a speech, um, at that thing.
	There he is, um, doing a speech.
	And if you would like to hear it, he stuck it up on his, um, his Twitter.
	So by all means go and check that out.
	And if you like the sort of stuff that Karl and us do, then make sure you go to the merch store and you buy the Islander magazine because it's very good and it's not going to be available for much longer, the first edition, so buy it now.
	So anyway, while While boss man Carl was giving his speech, I decided to go and have a quick reconnoiter around the area to see what was going on, to see if I could get a feel for what's going on at this thing.
	Well, you can dress like that.
	No, no, in fact I didn't even know about this thing until the night before and I was just expecting to head back so I wasn't decked out or anything.
	But I'm wondering, anyway, so that's my photo of the crowd, it's a bit of a narrow segment but you can sort of see the, it was pretty densely packed and there's, you know, you could pan that all the way around and there's loads of it.
	The excellent police were walling us in.
	There we go.
	There's the police over Westminster Bridge, down Whitehall.
	Now actually, at the other end of Whitehall, there were the The Ham Aslot, the other side, the pro-immigration chapter.
	Trafalgar Square?
	Yeah, they were down at that end, and so this was the heaviest police presence.
	I think there was a lot more police on the other side actually, and every so often we could hear them sort of getting a bit...
	We know what they're like.
	Getting a bit like that.
	And every so often you'd see something come through on the radio and more and more of these guys would peel off and run up to the other end until there wasn't actually many left on that side.
	And then, I mean, just the whole way round Parliament Square there were sort of all of these police.
	And I've got to say actually, all credit to the police, normally there is violence at this sort of thing.
	Because the police started, and they behaved themselves this time.
	It was very good.
	There was no baton charges, no aggression from them, anything like that.
	So, well done police.
	It's the election cycle, isn't it?
	Yeah, I mean, to be fair, I remember the first lockdown protest, the police were really aggressive in that one.
	I mean, they were starting fights and baton charges and all sorts of things.
	And I think by the sort of third and fourth lockdown protest, Even police intelligence had worked out that something a bit fishy was going on.
	In fact, you're going to cover that in your segment, aren't you?
	Which we might not put on YouTube, but yes.
	And also with the Tommy Robbins and stuff, again, they've been a lot worse in the past.
	But again, I think police intelligence is starting to get to the point where they're like, oh hang on, actually these people might have a point, especially given what you're going to talk about in your segment.
	with the, you know, in the neck in Germany.
	Yes.
	So anyway, so thank you to the police for not starting any trouble.
	I did have a word with some of them later on, and they had been briefed by their higher-ups to expect trouble, but then it never materialised, which I'm sure the higher-ups weren't happy with.
	What a state of affairs though, just in general, a general comment that you have to keep Whitehall completely free of people because there's two segments of society that can't be allowed near each other, right in the heart of London.
	Yeah, and one of those segments is English people and the other one is people who've turned up here and got a free house and now want to kill us.
	How can anyone at this point think that there's not a really bad problem?
	But there are still plenty.
	I know people, quite a few people, that still really only get their news from BBC or Radio 4 or something and don't think there's any problem.
	Or the Daily Mail Online.
	Yeah, right.
	You mentioned that the future holds sort of sectarian horrors.
	Yes, well the present holds it.
	Right.
	That Britain could or will be some sort of balkanised type.
	situation going on and they look at you like, are you mad?
	Yes.
	There's still loads of people out there that think like that.
	Yeah, you're worrying isn't it?
	Here's one for you, Beau.
	So Parliament Square... Is that Gladstone?
	No, that's Peele.
	So I like Peele.
	Peele's good.
	Peele's good, isn't he?
	Robert Peele, yeah.
	He's a good guy.
	So anyway, so Parliament Square is basically ringed by British heroes going around.
	So there's Robert Peele.
	What?
	There's a few dodgy ones, aren't there?
	Well, let's have a look, shall we?
	David Lloyd George?
	I mean, he was a statesman, I guess.
	A bit more qualified at this stage, isn't it?
	Historians are in two minds about David Lloyd George.
	Some love him, some despise him.
	Some look at him like a Woodrow Wilson type figure, like he was the beginning of the end.
	He did some really, really terrible things.
	And others say, no, he was great.
	Isn't that the case for most of them?
	Yeah, but I was thinking, by today's standards, he's still, by today's standards he's quite sensible.
	And he was a statesman, so I'll give him that.
	Winston Churchill.
	Now he is of course our greatest hero because he stood up to the bad man in Germany, because the bad man in Germany wanted to expel the Jews and conquer Poland.
	And Winston absolutely demolished our empire, impoverished us for decades, reduced our world standing, but did indeed stop The bad man from controlling Poland so that Russia could control it instead and the expulsion could get upgraded to a holocaust as history records.
	So good one Winston!
	Excellent work, British hero there.
	And the final of the British heroes that I've got around Parliament Square is Nelson Mandela.
	Now, my history isn't so good, so it wasn't immediately obvious to me what Nelson Mandela's contribution to British history was, but I've got a historian on the panel so you can let us know.
	Well, nothing for British history.
	Right, OK.
	But also, he was, you know, they are a full-blown, the ANC are communists, aren't they?
	Oh yes, that, yes.
	And he went to prison, you know, it was always free Nelson Mandela, because he was in prison in Robben Island for 30 odd years.
	White phosphorus attacks at train stations, killing...
	Why was he in prison?
	Was it just for being black or something?
	No, it's because he was the head of a militant terrorist organisation that killed and bombed people.
	Along racial lines as well.
	One old lady and her granddaughter were blown away in a white phosphorus attack.
	He must have done something.
	Good for Britain, because he's got a statue in Parliament Square.
	So I don't know what it is, but anyway, he gets a statue as well.
	Just an expression of white guilt, isn't it?
	Now, on a serious note, I also saw this.
	There's also a Gandhi statue in Parliament Square, did you know that?
	Oh, I missed that one.
	Yeah.
	The crowd was quite thick, so it was difficult to move around.
	But, oh dear.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Gandhi, really an enemy of the Empire and... Well... And... Yes.
	And... Yes.
	Sort of a...
	An idiot.
	He was very friendly to young boys I understand though, so maybe there were some good things about him.
	Now anyway, very importantly, Free Sam Melia were represented at this, and Tommy talked about it as well, because while this was all going on Tommy was playing a documentary.
	About the sort of state of Britain, which you can probably find on maybe his website or his Twitter or something, which is worth checking out.
	But yeah, so Free Sam Melia, now that is important.
	Now actually I want to go a little bit deeper onto this one briefly if I may, because as well as being a political prisoner, going to prison for committing no crime, and for putting stickers up which even the prosecution agreed are factually true, They decided that he must have bad thoughts in his head and therefore he's a political prisoner in jail.
	So I didn't like that at all.
	Anyway, it gets worse.
	I was communicating with Laura there in the picture.
	He's now been banned from seeing or even talking about his children.
	Yeah, I saw something on Twitter about that.
	Yeah, that is outrageous.
	That's now bouldering on sort of cruel and unusual, isn't it?
	Oh, absolutely, yeah.
	So as well as being locked in his cell for 22 hours a day for having committed no crime,
	Apparently the probation services decided to add a note to his file deeming that he was a risk to children and the excuse they gave was this this is a result of offending behavior and does not state he poses a direct serious risk of harm to children but the children being exposed to posters insignia literature and attitudes assessed as racist and offensive.
	So basically they're worried that if he has access to children they might turn out to be based.
	His own children?
	Yes.
	Right, yeah.
	So when Laura visits him she can't even tell him about their new baby.
	Assuming once he gets out of prison it's... Yeah, well hopefully, I bloody well hope so.
	He's not actually taking his children away.
	Well, I hope they don't do that, but I think we need to push back on that.
	So first of all, he was in Leeds prison, and even though this note from the probation services was on his record, they recognised what it was, which was complete bullshit, and they didn't apply it, so his children could go and visit him, and law was at liberty to talk about the children.
	Then he got moved to Hull, and now she's not even allowed to talk about the children, or bring pictures, or anything like that.
	So if one of the children gets ill, she's not allowed to mention it to him?
	Is this something that is recognised as a right even to other prisoners?
	I suspect.
	Oh, it's perfectly normal for other prisoners.
	It's just standard cruel and unusual punishments.
	The real question here would be what They would allow people who would do the equivalent from the other side.
	So if someone had posters of Stalin and posters of the... They wouldn't go after them in the first place.
	Somebody on Twitter made an interesting point.
	There was this guy who, oh, one of these weird alphabet people who had done some very disturbing...
	No, he had been discovered with a lot of child porn, and he lives opposite a playground, and they didn't even pursue him.
	He's out living opposite that playground, and he isn't deemed a risk to a child, but this guy who quoted factually accurate stuff from the ONS is now deemed to be a risk to children.
	It's absolutely ridiculous.
	So, serious point here.
	If you went to this thing on Saturday and you enjoyed it, or you didn't go but you wish you had, have a look at this website, and I'm just going to scroll down.
	You can write to the prison, so you can at least do an email to that email address there to basically say this is out of order, or better yet, and this is what I've done, is you can physically write to the prison and address it to the governor, Sean Mycroft, and basically let him know that this is ridiculous. Sean Mycroft, and basically let him know that this is Now, if you get...
	And hopefully, Mr. Mycroft gets an awful lot of letters as a result of this, and other efforts that these guys are doing in order to push back on this stuff.
	And if you end up watching this, Sean, I think you need to recognise that you've...
	You have applied a ruling correctly here, and I hope that you think again and you reassess on this, because I will quite happily come back to this topic in future if necessary, because this is simply not on.
	You know, that can't be allowed.
	One further thing I mentioned, Sam's in jail for 22 hours a day, and it's his birthday at the weekend, so if you want to send him a birthday card, do that.
	That'll brighten his day a bit.
	So, yes.
	Dark days that it's come to those in this country. - I agree.
	Yeah, I can make a shrine to Pol Pot.
	Oh yeah.
	And that would be fine, but a sticker saying no white guilt.
	That gets you in the slammer.
	And a t-shirt with all of them together, not just Pol Pot.
	It could be Mao, Stalin, Lenin, all of them together.
	Yeah, quite, quite.
	Very sad indeed, very sad indeed, but I had to mention that.
	I'll also mention Top chap here, Gerald Batten.
	Like that guy.
	He's the best politician that we never had, this guy.
	So he was, as you know, running UKIP back in the day.
	Karl was a member.
	I was a member back then.
	Tommy was a member.
	Now, this... Dank.
	Yeah, Dank.
	Dank was in it as well.
	Now, this is my key thing.
	The amount of energy in that crowd.
	The amount of energy online, of well-wishers.
	there was a huge amount of energy that is outside the system.
	And if the bloody UKIP NEC had not got rid of Gerald, then all of that energy would currently be inside the system.
	Reform probably wouldn't exist.
	And at the moment we're talking about zero seats for the Conservatives, and we're not saying vote Labour, we're not saying vote reform, we're just saying zero seats for all of them.
	You know, don't engage in this political process.
	So all of that energy is now being directed outside of the system.
	If they just left that guy in place, all of that energy would be diverted into the system, and the system would be much healthier as a result of it.
	But instead, through nefarious means, he was booted out, which means all of his energy is now outside the system.
	Do you remember there was a woman that was, I think, the chairperson of UKIP?
	There was some internal, there was an internal power struggle, wasn't there, between their board, I think they sort of effectively had a board.
	Yeah, their NEC, yeah.
	Yeah, their NEC, that's it.
	And I think it was, I can't remember her name now, but there was a woman, they just wanted to get rid of him for some reason.
	I'm not sure exactly why.
	And then the next leader after him, Do you remember him as well?
	Well, after him it was Richard Brain, wasn't it?
	Yeah, Richard Brain.
	And he lasted about two weeks and then said, it's impossible to do anything in this party because the NEC micromanage everything.
	So he left as well.
	And today UKIP is absolutely nowhere.
	And it's ridiculous because if that hadn't have happened, Cole could be an MP by now.
	You know, or we could be at this coming election, given how disastrously unpopular the Tories are and about how there's no decent right-wing party.
	So he could be an MP after the next election.
	Maybe I could as well.
	Maybe Dank.
	Maybe Tommy.
	It's interesting to see how much UKIP has imploded.
	Yeah, voluntarily.
	On itself.
	Well, yeah, in all sorts of ways.
	but how yeah it's sort of not committed suicide but it just made like you say all those power struggles with the NEC yeah just sort of ruined itself yeah and and if it wasn't for that we would have a viable right-wing party you know something akin to the AFD in Germany or you know some of these other places but we for whatever reason we didn't go down that route and we are where we are instead which I think is you know really tragic So anyway, it was a great day out.
	Lots of positive energy there.
	My key takeaway is that we as a people are suppressed, but we are not defeated yet.
	In fact, I don't think we're going to be defeated.
	From what I saw there, we have an indomitable spirit, and that will remain, even though there's nothing that we can do inside the system at the moment.
	We are an indomitable Peter.
	Ah, Peter.
	People.
	People.
	Anyway, so then, after the lovely day out, I then went bound to Victoria Station, where I was able to enjoy a big gay sandwich.
	For those of you listening, that is lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato, which they have helpfully branded LGBT in rainbow lettering.
	So, yes, lovely day out.
	It could be a GBLT.
	BLT sandwich having it in June.
	Who owns?
	It's a gay BLT sandwich.
	Oh, right, yes.
	Yes, you know, you're right.
	Yes.
	Who owns Marks and Spencer's again?
	Don't worry about it.
	You shouldn't notice.
	Don't worry about it.
	Ah.
	Right.
	Let's go on our next segment.
	We are going to discuss the very unfortunate incident in Mannheim, Germany, which is in the southwest, I believe.
	And we are going to be very cautious with what we are showing, because a lot of the things that are involved here, a lot of the links involve graphic depictions of violence.
	We are going to have some of the links on our reading list on our website, so Go, definitely go and check this podcast on our website.
	So, we have here news from Visegrad 24.
	It says, breaking Islamist terror attack in Germany.
	The conservative politician and anti-Islam activist Michael Sturzenberger was stabbed during a public meeting in Mannheim.
	A police officer was also stabbed in the neck.
	The attacker was liquidated by the police.
	Now, we have it censored here, but we will describe you what happened, and we are going to discuss also the way that this has been received.
	So, basically, what happened here is that we have the anti-Islam activist Michael Sturzenberger, who is involved in an organization called BEP, and I searched about it, and they call themselves right-wing populists.
	And he is one of the people in Germany who is routinely speaking against the Islamization of Europe and he's trying to raise awareness on this.
	Issue.
	So what we have here is him and a lot of people who were adjacent to IFD and I think the youth organization of IFD and they were in Mannheim and he was giving a speech and at the time we have someone who is running With a knife, and he is, I think, a counter-protester.
	No, I don't think we can call him a counter-protester.
	He was just an Afghani immigrant with a knife.
	Yes, and I've heard that he's a fake asylum seeker.
	Well, my understanding is that he was born in Afghanistan and then went to Germany.
	Yes, and apparently he was trying to escape the Taliban and of course the first thing he does when he gets to Germany is to try and recreate Basically the same set of rules that the Taliban were insisting on.
	Yes.
	So here you can see there is a whole mess in the video.
	He is running with a knife.
	He starts fighting with people.
	He starts... He wounded I think Michael Sturzenberger.
	And then there were people who tried to fight him and detain him, and then there were many police officers who tried also to detain and separate those who were fighting.
	And at some point, someone comes in and a police officer is on top of him, and the stabber goes and stabs the police officer in the neck.
	We have here yet another post.
	This is what Europe is dealing with.
	Islamists trying to stab our police officers in the neck just a week before the European Parliament election.
	Reuven El is the police officer who was 29 years old and he was stabbed in the neck and he unfortunately died.
	He reportedly donated his organs and had his parents as well as his partner by his side when he died.
	May he rest in peace.
	So this is his face here and we're going to show you how this event was received as well as its aftermath.
	Now, we have an article here from the European Conservative called The Beacon of Mannheim and it was written by Dieter Stein and he says, for the first time a German police officer has died in an Islamic attack.
	Germany should pause to mourn the loss of a brave young man and then it is time to finally address the policy that is leading the country to the abyss.
	So by all means go out and check it.
	Not everyone rushed to depict the event as it happened.
	Some people rushed to depict it in ways that were designed to be misleading.
	Now, 31st of May, 25 minutes past one, we have here an article from Euronews with the title, Far-right activists and others hurt in stabbing in Mannheim.
	And it says, police says several people, including a far-right anti-Islamic activist, were injured in the incident.
	An assailant with a knife attacked and wounded several people in a central square in the southwestern Germany city of Mannheim on Friday, police said.
	Now, I want to say something here, because it seems to me that this is a pattern, and it's good to notice patterns.
	When the press and mainstream media are routinely talking about such events, they just observe the amount of adjectives that they put in front of the people who they are against politically, and how abstractly speaking they refer To those who belong to groups that they seem to be supporting.
	Because if you just read that headline simply, you would think that it was a far-right winger that was doing the stabbing.
	You will see this also, especially when it comes to how Sky News depicted the event, which we will talk about in a minute.
	And this is really important because we need to be very much aware of how communication works.
	And for better or worse, most people, I think worse, but in sometimes understandably so, most people just don't have the time to read whole articles.
	And they look at titles and the first paragraphs and then they skip.
	And you could say that to a very large extent the internet and websites are designed to do this by having all the things around the article in order to capture the attention of the user and stay on the web page.
	So you will see routinely that a lot of the negative adjectives are used in order to characterize those who are against politically with the main line of The mainstream media and you will see how very abstractly people are presented on the other side.
	Now let's go to.
	This article from your news from today says Germany police officer injured in Mannheim stabbing dies.
	The attack took place during a Pax Europa event, an organization which describes itself as informing the public about the dangers posed by the increasing spread and influence of political Islam.
	And it says here, a 29 year old police officer has died of injuries suffered during a knife attack.
	That left five other people injured in the central square of Mannheim.
	The officer was stabbed several times in the head and neck by a 25-year-old immigrant from Afghanistan and underwent emergency surgery after the attack Friday.
	This is three days after the event and it suggests that the first, the knee-jerk reaction was to sort of try and Presented as they usually do, but there was a lot of public outrage for this and here they are trying to just present it In the first paragraphs, rather than just keep it down.
	And it says here, Chancellor Olaf Scholz posted on Next that he was deeply grieved and that the office's commitment to the safety of all deserves the highest recognition.
	Well, it's a damn shame that Olaf Scholz isn't committed to the safety of Germany because he wouldn't be importing millions of people.
	Well, recognition isn't just empty words.
	Recognition requires policies, especially when it comes to politicians.
	Is that a controversial point?
	I don't think so.
	Right, here we have another article from BBC News.
	German anti-Islam activist injured in knife attack.
	Here, just a stabbing happened.
	You know, somehow it happened.
	And yet again, German anti-Islam activist, knife attack.
	It says, a man has attacked six people.
	Just very abstractly, a man.
	Just, you know, in order to portray this allegedly, you know, you could be saying in order to do it along the progressivism line where, you know, all crimes are to be attributed to male culture.
	A man has attacked six people, including a police officer, with a knife at a market square in the southern Germany of Mannheim.
	One of the people injured was anti-Islam activist Michael Sturzenberger, who had been practiced Who had been preparing to hold a rally in the square according to his group.
	And he's quite seriously injured as well.
	I mean, he got a puncture wound in the chest near the lungs.
	I think also in the leg as well.
	And there was one other one as well.
	But I mean, it missed vital organs very closely.
	And what was he doing?
	I mean, he was talking out about the dangers of importing people from these countries.
	And his point was proven by having one of them run in, attempt to murder him, and then actually murder somebody else, as well as stab a couple of other people on the way as well.
	Yeah.
	It sort of suggests, doesn't it, as well, that he deserved it.
	Yes.
	The journalist wants you to believe that, yeah.
	That he brought it upon himself.
	Yeah.
	Because that's always the thing, it's like, you know, don't, let's make sure, like, don't have any inflammatory cartoons or anything.
	If you do say anything then you're just bringing it on yourself.
	Yeah, don't slow down immigration, don't question it, just keep bringing them in and then eventually it will be alright.
	This is the exact equivalent of people who say that when women are sexually abused it's the way they're dressed?
	Yeah.
	This is the exact equivalent in bigoted double standard rhetoric?
	It's funny because I'm having some cognitive dissonance there because David Cameron and Barack Obama insisted that Islam was the religion of peace.
	Is it not?
	Yeah.
	And I heard that, and then every time a terrorist attack pops up I think to myself, right, it's definitely the Buddhist system.
	Never is.
	It's always the Muslims again.
	Don't know why.
	Here, the incident was caught on a YouTube live stream and showed the attacker stabbing a man.
	So, again, on the first paragraphs, we have very abstract representation, very abstract description of the person who did the stabbing, and you have lots of adjectives for the target, for Michael Sturzenberger.
	The attacker was shot and injured by another police officer.
	Was he not killed?
	Was the Islamist terrorist not killed?
	I think he has been detained.
	No, he was shot once, and then the police immediately provided him emergency medical care after he had just killed their colleague.
	So he is now getting the best medical care that Germany can provide in hospital.
	I assumed he'd died, but he hasn't.
	No, he's still there.
	German Chancellor Olaf Scholz again, they're saying what he said, and they are also mentioning another post of his that says, violence is absolutely unacceptable in our democracy.
	The perpetrator must be severely punished.
	Well, the question here is, if there is any double standard in presenting several cases nearly as isolated incidents, and to be judged as isolated incidents on the one hand, and routinely
	Grouping and categorizing people who have particular beliefs in the worst possible way, telling people to extract all sorts of patterns from that behavior, most of which are projected and demonize them.
	Well, pattern recognition is racist, for whatever reason.
	The chat is telling me that the terrorist did die, and I thought he didn't, but okay, I'm confused, I don't know.
	If it did, I stand corrected.
	Here we go to Sky News and how it presented it.
	Germany knife attack.
	Police officer dies of his injuries.
	The 29-year-old was one of the six people who suffered serious injuries during an attack in the central square of Mannheim on Friday.
	Police have not publicly suggested any possible motive.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	And look at here, the first Sentence.
	A police officer who was stabbed during an attack at a far-right rally in Germany has died.
	I mean, is that not designed to just completely... And then the whole first section of this, there was nothing to suggest it was an Afghan refugee.
	Nothing.
	Yeah, but we are told about a far-right rally.
	Yeah, all those people who believe in, you know, being opposed to terrorism and stuff like that.
	They say here, underneath, you know, some sentences afterwards, a 25-year-old suspect from Afghanistan was shot.
	Okay, if you go down far enough, they mention it.
	Yeah, but what we should show here is also on the BBC, that they leave it underneath.
	So, look at the article from BBC.
	Here, they started talking about it.
	They started talking about, you know, far-right and anti-Islam activists and all this.
	It's here.
	And you have to scroll down to the very end of the article to see that they are saying police have not released the identity of the suspect, but German media outlets say he is a 25-year-old man who was born in Afghanistan but lives in Germany.
	And underneath they say, who is Michael Sturzenberger?
	And they say, according to Bill, Michael Sturzenberger is the author of an Islamophobic blog, as well as a member of the BP, an organization which says it stands against the Islamization of Germany.
	A former politician, he once led the small right-wing populist party, Die Freiheit, which was dissolved in 2016.
	What is interesting here, they're not using the term far-right.
	They say right-wing populist.
	Well, because when you apply it to an individual, it becomes actionable, liable.
	Yeah.
	And they call him Islamophobic, though.
	Yeah, I was just thinking, what does that word mean?
	Is that being afraid of... Something that people are... Yes, it's being afraid of Islam.
	An irrational fear is afraid of.
	So hang on, so just to clarify, so scroll up a little bit, that guy there, who is currently lying in hospital with critical knife wounds, who came very close to death because he was attacked by an Islamic immigrant, he is the one who is irrationally afraid of Islam.
	Irrationally.
	Well thank goodness the police officer who died is not irrationally afraid of Islam.
	Well is that one angle you were going to talk about at all?
	It wasn't clear because at first it looked like he was tackling... the cop that got stabbed looked like he was tackling the wrong person.
	Yes.
	But then isn't there a second angle or a second bit of footage?
	Yes.
	You're absolutely correct.
	So what happened is that The first video that was released shows only a part of what happened.
	And there was yet another video that was released afterwards that shows the event from another angle, from a different angle.
	And it seems that... It was a bit messier than it looks at first.
	It was messy.
	And it suggests that a lot of people who rushed to talk about it in a meme-y way We're wrong.
	And let me say what the meme is, and Dan especially has some things to add on this.
	So the meme shows a German on the ground, and it says underneath, das Volk, I think, or die Volk, the people, the police officer on top of the person, and they were saying the state.
	And the Afghan immigrant slashing him on the neck saying, you know, immigration.
	And a lot of people rush to say that this is an instance of the state being against its own citizens and being stabbed in return.
	Yeah.
	It didn't exactly happen this way for several reasons.
	Dan will talk about it right now.
	But one thing to say is that there were lots of people present and lots of police officers.
	So the fact that some of them tried to detain and separate one of the others doesn't mean that this person just had a beef with the German people.
	And it doesn't mean necessarily that the officer who died did so because, for instance, he was brainwashed by leftist propaganda.
	I mean, the meme kind of stands because by itself it is true that the German people are being held down by the state while being murdered by immigration.
	So the meme is true but it is a little bit messy than that because so what so what actually happened was you know the knife man ran in of course this causes chaos and you know you're just standing there you're facing one way and all of a sudden there's people screaming and something going on it's very it's very disorientating
	It's easy when you can sit and watch the video five times but when you're actually in it it's very disorientating and what happened is this Michael Stellenberg a guy was stabbed several times there was a scuffle with a number of people he then sort of flies off and this is all happening very fast at sort of running speeds some other guy well a couple of people then start to
	Hold on to the the knife man um and he falls to the ground and and one of the bystanders is basically holding down his knife hands and the guy in the blue jacket that you saw in the meme he came over and it looked to him like the bystander had the knife because he was he was holding his knife hand so he starts punching the bystander and of course the bystander just takes it and and presumably he was saying no i'm not the knife he was presumably saying something you can see him saying something i don't know what it is
	But he continued to hold the actual knife man down while the guy in the blue jacket incorrectly was hitting him and the police officer runs in and just rugby sort of tackles the German guy to the ground and pins him but what that does is it knocks clear the bystander that was holding down the knife man So he gets up and then goes and stabs the the officer in the neck.
	So I mean the the meme is is kind of figuratively true in that that is what the state is doing.
	Suggests a broader pattern of what happens but not necessarily on this case in these individuals.
	It was all down to everybody having an incomplete messy picture of what was going on because it was so chaotic.
	So the officer presumably saw um you know this the German guy uh punching this other guy and didn't Step back at all and think okay well what what's going on here?
	He just immediately tackled that guy to the ground and in doing so exposed the knifeman and turned his back and his neck to the knifeman.
	So the meme is figuratively true but it's not quite as literally true as it first looked.
	But one thing that is absolutely obvious for anyone who watches the video is that the attacker just wanted to cause harm.
	You see this?
	It's indiscriminate attacking.
	So, just to be clear, so you're saying that it looks like the cop that died wasn't just thinking, I know the real...
	The real problem here is the German guy trying to prevent a stabbing.
	He just got it wrong.
	He made an error in the heat of the moment.
	It's probably that because everybody in the video, when you watch it from all angles, everybody in the video Is just completely taken by shock and there's a lot of confusion as to what's going on.
	Like I say, the guy underneath in the meme, the guy in the blue jacket, I mean he was actually fighting the wrong guy.
	He was fighting the guy who was holding down the knife man.
	But yeah, the police didn't assess it properly.
	And actually, while we're on the topic of police, you know, at least the guy who died, you know, did something.
	There were a couple of female officers there who turned and ran away.
	So, and this is the thing about, I don't want to generalise on all female police officers, but female police officers work really well when you're dealing with a population that consents to being policed.
	It doesn't work so well with a population that does not consent to being policed.
	Can I make one last quick point?
	Yeah.
	In the footage, probably everyone's seen it, I've seen it, the thing that struck me apart from the cop that lost his life sort of doing the wrong thing, maybe he can be excused in the heat of the moment, he didn't really, it was so quick, that's totally possible.
	Yeah.
	But the other cops that waited until their colleague got stabbed before firing, it seemed to me they waited far too long before opening fire.
	It seemed to me they literally just waited for him to stab him like a couple of times in the neck.
	Yeah.
	Before they shot him.
	Right, we need to speed up a bit.
	Here we have a protest of Germans against the youth of the AfD party that is having a gathering in Mannheim.
	Imtiaz Mahmoud says, in Mannheim, Germany, a young police officer was murdered by an Afghan Islamist and five other people are injured.
	The reaction in Mannheim is a demonstration against the right.
	And I read a lot of the German responses to that, and a lot of them are just saying, this is unbelievable, people are protesting against us not liking this immigration, we are lost as a nation, and I understand why they think that way.
	And we are going to end the segment by showing something about the broader context, because about a month ago, There was a young IFD politician that was convicted after publishing gang rape statistics in connection with Afghan migration, and the statistics that she spoke of were actually published by German authorities.
	And we have done a segment on this called Stop Noticing Crime Statistics, it is on YouTube.
	Is she supposed to be the German Sam Malaya then?
	I don't necessarily think they are, I don't think they're equivalent, but she was citing evidence from the German authorities, which is interesting because it creates the question, it raises the question, why are statistics being published If people cannot talk about them.
	And I think there are two answers here.
	One is in order to appear as legitimate and talking about it instead of obfuscating the issue.
	And the second is to suggest that the only interpretation of this data is economic.
	And push forward the narrative that so long as such crime exists, it is 100% boiling down to economic reasons.
	So people need to be taxed more in order to give more money to these communities and obfuscate entirely the issue of customs and habits that people have.
	So at the end of the day, that's the issue.
	Europe has a problem.
	There are people who are trying to talk about it and the establishment frequently tries to pretend that this doesn't exist.
	And it's a crazy, crazy world.
	And last thing to say before we end the segment is may the soul of Luvenar rest in peace.
	I wonder if and when they'll trot his family out to make a statement about, you know, we must keep immigration as it is.
	Whether they'll do that old cynical thing.
	Certainly don't look back in anger.
	Whatever you do, don't look back in anger.
	Don't let the politics of hate divide us.
	That's the most important thing.
	Okay, can I scroll down a bit here then?
	Okay, so I'm going to do a segment here talking about Dr. Fauci.
	Do you remember him?
	Yes, I remember him.
	Do people talk about him?
	The great Dr. Fauci, sorry.
	Do people talk about him?
	Is the name mentioned or is it an instant ban?
	I don't know.
	Also the thing I'll say is that we're going to do a segment on this and talk about Fauci and the Covid years and the lockdown things and fortified, perhaps allegedly fortified, elections and the vaccine and everything but We can't put it on YouTube.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	We won't be able to put any of that on YouTube.
	Oh, yes, because they'll just give us another strike.
	Yeah.
	So we're going to have this conversation, but it's only going to be available to see on our website, LotusThetas.com.
	Yes.
	And we're not needlessly putting that behind the paywall just to try and goad people.
	It's not even behind the paywall.
	Anyone can watch the podcast for free.
	Oh right, yeah, that's right, sorry, that's right.
	So if you want to see us talk about this, you'll have to go over to our website, LotusLeaders.com, but as for now, the YouTube video will probably end about there, talking about that.
	Because I think I owe Dr Fauci an apology, because I was convinced the whole way through that he was just making it up, and I've been reliably informed that wasn't the case.
	But I look forward to getting into your segment, to find out how I'm wrong.
	All right, so now we're off of YouTube and just talking on the website.
	Yeah, it turns out Fauci was just making it up.
	Oh, was he?
	Yeah.
	Oh, right.
	He's confessed and he's going through, I think it's in the Congress or there's some sort of public hearing and investigation into it, certainly with politicians sort of grilling him about things and he's on the stand to give him more evidence today, I believe, but there's He's already said that he's sort of confessed, there's a thing on the mail here, that he's confessed that he made up COVID rules, including the six feet social distancing and masking of kids and all sorts of things.
	And in the article itself, it goes on to say, when he was put under scrutiny, just to say that, I don't even really know where the six foot distancing thing came from.
	They're like, where did you get that from?
	And he's like, I don't know.
	I dunno, it just sort of, it just sort of, the idea of it just sort of materialised, people just started talking about it and then it was, and then I started saying it and then it was just a thing.
	And I don't know if you remember but we had absolute thundering twat hats at the time who were walking around in parks with sticks hitting people who came within six feet of them.
	Yeah.
	In fact we had bloody people sat at cafes with pool noodles on their bloody heads to create a sort of three foot buffer zone so they'd all be six feet apart from each.
	So looking back on this I mean Fauci is obviously guilty of some sort of really really odd things.
	Really, really weird things.
	But what I wanted to really do with this segment is just try and remember, because a lot of people seem to have forgotten or they don't really talk about it, the extent to which we had the mickey taken out of us during those couple of years there or however long it was.
	Just the extent of it.
	It's mad.
	Absolutely mad.
	Well, that's exactly what I was going to say.
	It seems to me, looking back on it now, that there was some sort of collective madness.
	Now, not everyone... it didn't affect everyone, did it?
	Well, it did affect everyone, because... Well, what I mean is, not everyone bought it.
	Yeah, I didn't buy it, but it definitely affected me, because I ended up having arguments all the time with complete numpties who actually believe this shite.
	Yeah.
	Well, I remember, this is my... I was never vaccinated.
	I'm not ever going to be vaccinated.
	I remember that when the news first hit...
	um that there was this thing in Wuhan before it was throughout the whole world before you had to wear masks and before Tesco's had one in one out and all this sort of thing and you had to have your temperature taken all the time and all that stuff before any of that
	When it was still just in China in Wuhan I remember being told like 10,000 people have died in the last few days in Wuhan of this of this new disease that's got a really high death rate of it and I thought well okay that's that's um that's scary that's worrying um I do just want to see like some mass graves or like big groups of mourners Or something.
	Just, uh, I don't necessarily not believe that 10,000 people have died in Britain, but I just do need to see some evidence of that.
	We've got that video of all these people falling over and then sort of just catching themselves at the end and then lying down.
	Right, yeah.
	Yeah.
	And so within a week or so, I'm like, no, I need to see if 10,000 people have died, or 5,000 or wherever it was, I do need to see some evidence that loads of people have died.
	Yes.
	Um and we're not getting it I'm not seeing it so almost immediately within a week or two I was sort of fully on the in the mindset of there's something extremely fishy going on here it's really weird I'm not I don't think I'm buying it.
	The thing would be and and it came out really early was the princess cruise stuff because there was that that cruise of um people in their sort of 70s and 80s and Covid went around that and yeah there were a couple of fatalities Yeah but they're all like 80 and 90 and Professor Leonidas at the time he sort of ran the numbers and said look you apply this to the general population it's got about the same lethality as a bad flu.
	Well the thing is, the flu, just normal flu, does kill millions of people every single year.
	Oh yeah, it's a really nasty flu.
	Flu and cold is not the same thing.
	We all get colds every year, but a flu is like proper bloody awful.
	I had flu once when I was in my mid-twenties.
	Real proper flu.
	And it was terrible.
	I felt like my body was dying on me.
	It was horrible.
	It was one of the worst I've ever felt in my life.
	It was really, really horrible.
	Yes.
	And I can see how if you're like in your 70s or 80s or 90s and you're frail and you've got core morbidities.
	I can see how it can kill you.
	Absolutely, absolutely.
	So anyway, I just wasn't buying it from quite early on and I remember when all the VAC stuff came out.
	Do you remember this one?
	Everyone on one of the Royal Navy's submarines got it.
	Remember that?
	Yeah, if you're in the Navy, you're not at risk from catching the flu.
	Everyone on the submarine had got the vaccine, or double vaccine.
	Oh, right.
	And then they all got it.
	And at that point, and that was quite early on in the vaccine phase of the story, and I remember thinking, OK, so it's not a vaccine.
	That was all I needed to know.
	So it's not a vaccine, or if it is, it's a completely... Rubbish one.
	Rubbish one, right, yes.
	So I'm certainly not taking that then.
	If everybody on the street gets a burglar alarm, and the next week everybody on the street gets burgled, You know, something's wrong there.
	Right.
	I mean, the thing I just wanted to say is that, you know, I and a lot of people I know, actually, a fair few people I know, never bought into the madness, but so many people did, right?
	Like, you had a few examples of crazy things.
	There was tons and tons of Karens, weren't there?
	Do-gooder Karens.
	Lots of examples of people walking in a park, in the open air, and they're not even anywhere near six feet near each other, and some Karen's shouting over at them, like, why aren't you wearing a mask?
	Or someone going into a shop without wearing a mask and someone getting mad at them.
	I had a couple of rows like that, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Well, I had a row in this very building.
	Oh, right, did you?
	Yeah, I was wearing a mask.
	You had to wear a mask in the lobby.
	But I was wearing a mask, but it wasn't covering my nose.
	It was just the mask on, but it was like under here.
	And I was told that you have to put it over your nose and I got a bit aggy and like swore a bit and raised my voice.
	Oh it's lucky I wasn't working here at the time because there's no way I didn't wear a mask even.
	Yeah.
	I just refused.
	Well I only wore a mask in the first third or so and only when you really really had to.
	Like if you wanted to go to a doctor's surgery say they were insisting you wore a mask and stuff weren't they?
	Yeah.
	I remember going to the dentist and they say wear a mask.
	I'm like, I don't think I want to, I don't want to.
	And they're like, you have to, we will not let you see the dentist.
	You cannot sit in the waiting room without a mask.
	So you're like, okay, alright.
	Unfortunately, my dad was in hospital at the time and they wouldn't buzz you through unless you were wearing a mask.
	But I went online and managed to get, um, and it was called the offensively fake mask.
	And it was basically the thinnest possible material.
	So you could see my entire face, but with this really thin mesh over the front.
	It was like stockings or something.
	So, okay, I'm wearing a mask.
	There you go.
	Then we go into the doctor's waiting room and you had to wear a mask, you had to do the little squirty hand sanitiser, and they have a little gun to read your temperature and point it at your head.
	Do you remember that?
	You had to go through all that.
	And so anyway, it was a type of collective madness that had descended on us.
	I'm glad we were able to come through the other side, that that's just not a permanent thing now.
	That's something at least, right?
	Because a lot of people wanted to make that a permanent feature of our lives going forward.
	And people were saying that... Oh, new normal they called it.
	The problem is the unvaccinated people.
	You're the problem.
	Yeah.
	And we should have forced vaccinations.
	People, the cops or whoever.
	That's when it got really scary.
	They need, they're gonna come and knock on your door and if you haven't got papers, are your papers?
	Yeah.
	Proving that you've been vaccinated then they will essentially by force pin you down and give you the vax.
	Um, I remember, um, what's her name?
	Is it Nana Ikuna?
	Is that her name?
	Nana Aqua.
	Yeah.
	I remember her on GB News saying, saying that we should do that.
	Yeah.
	The problem is people that are refusing to be vaxxed.
	They're so selfish.
	They're putting everyone at risk.
	So during that time and it was scary.
	We should not forget all this.
	It was an incredibly stressful year because I could see that Vax was suspect as hell and you can tell from the mortality rate that we're getting now that Vax is killing people.
	In fact I shared on my Twitter the other day
	A new study that Oxford University have done and said yeah the vax is killing people the excess mortality is the vax so like proper scientists have now got to look to this I mean it was obvious it was obvious anyway wasn't it but it but yeah proper scientists looked at it and it is the vax that is killing people and I knew that it was as dodgy as hell there's no way that they could possibly produce a safe vaccine in the time that they did so for me if they did what they what you said and started going door-to-door to force people have the vax that would have been I just
	I would not have let my children do it.
	So for the best part of a year we had a go bag stuffed with, you know, passports, a change of clothes, a lot of cash, so that if we needed to we could just bug out, go to the docks and just bribe someone with a boat to get us off the country.
	It was that bad that, you know, they were actually talking about going that far.
	But they sort of Went some distance along that line.
	So there was all sorts of jobs where you weren't really given an option, right?
	If you worked in the NHS or if you worked in school and all sorts of jobs where they were like, no, you've got to have it done or you're fired.
	It's your choice.
	So 40,000 care workers in this country were fired and they were on the verge of firing 100,000 people from the NHS.
	But actually I think the bigger problem here is in the US because in the US a lot of firms mandated that their staff take it.
	Right, and now they're going to be liable for a lawsuit.
	You know what the Americans are like with their lawsuits?
	A lot of companies are going to be in a lot of trouble with this in the coming years.
	Different countries went to different extents with it, didn't they?
	Like Israel, of all countries, went quite far with it.
	Yeah.
	Israel, Georgia, Australia.
	In France you weren't allowed to get on public transport, to get on a train.
	Canada as well.
	You weren't allowed unless you show your papers.
	And that was getting very, very close to happening here.
	It was over a Christmas period, I remember, so I was travelling back and forth from Wiltshire to London, a lot.
	And it looked like they were going to do that in Britain.
	You can't get on a train unless you show you can't buy a ticket unless you show your vaccination status.
	And it looked like that might happen within a week.
	Thanks Boris.
	I remember thinking, right, what am I going to do?
	How am I going to get around this?
	Because there's just no question whether I'm taking that poison, that vaccine poison.
	And the lockdown thing, again, that's unprecedented, really.
	Even during the Black Death, even during real pandemics of real, real, real, highly deadly diseases, they wouldn't lock down a house arrest, a type of house arrest for whole nations.
	So, there's the other angle I want to talk about.
	There's something else going on, isn't it?
	It's not just, it's far, far, far, and it comes back to Fauci, it's far, far, far from simply we got it wrong.
	We thought this coronavirus was something that it really wasn't and we raced through a vaccine which, oh and a shout out to Andrew Bridget MP who's done sterling work on all that stuff.
	I can't sort of thank him enough for not shutting up I don't know if you're going to cover this but some of the stuff that's coming out basically show that it was a lab leak, it was gain-of-function research that did it, and it was him who signed off on it.
	So he is basically massively, massively criminally liable if we get a president who's willing to do something about it.
	Right.
	But there's so much more.
	So what was really going on there though?
	What really happened there?
	You know, it's all sorts of things in history where you're just supposed to not really dwell on it too much.
	Like the JFK assassination or 9-11 or something.
	Don't really worry, it's something that happened now.
	Just believe the official version and move on.
	Let's not keep raking over who did what and in what order and why.
	Don't worry about that.
	This stuff it's it's really there's so many layers to it because one there's the angle of well it's just a big pharma sort of a big pharmaceutical cabal type money grab thing that was all about just making some of the big pharma companies Pfizer or whatever loads and loads of money okay fine yeah that makes sense that makes sense to me yeah but there's There's more to it, right?
	You could say maybe it was an exercise in power or social control.
	Can we lock down vast swathes of the world and people buy it and do it and are obedient?
	It's like a test for that.
	Yep.
	Or even more, you mentioned the fortified election, because if you remember it was all still going on during the 2020 election, right?
	Was it always part of that?
	Was that always sort of part of the story, the scheme, the narrative, the plan?
	Absolutely, the election was part of it and actually that's one of the things that worries me because if they were willing to do this to rig an election to get Trump out and Biden in, what are they willing to do In November.
	I mean, are they willing to trigger World War 3?
	With Russia and Ukraine still?
	Yeah.
	Or whatever, yeah.
	And China.
	In order to get Biden back in another time.
	I mean, actually, if they're willing to do this, yeah, they might.
	It seems like there's no cynicism they won't stoop to.
	Seems like there's no crime they're not prepared to commit.
	Yeah, so, the big pharma angle, the election angle, the social engineering angle, Like, what happened there, really?
	What are we looking at?
	What was that?
	What was that?
	And who was really behind it all?
	Because one of the things I found most surprising, really, is that loads of countries, particularly all the Western ones, and including Australia.
	Australia and New Zealand went gung-ho, didn't they?
	Were all sort of in lockstep straight away, weren't they, with it?
	That we were all doing this.
	And there was a few sort of dissenters.
	I think Sweden sort of didn't really go as hard on it as they could have done.
	And even Britain, Didn't go as hard as some other countries like France, for example.
	But at least to begin with, at least for a while, everyone was, we're doing this.
	And so there's like the Bill, like, you know, getting really into conspiracy theories in the sense that we've got no proper evidence.
	Someone like Fauci, someone like, who's the WEF guy, Klaus Schwab.
	Someone like Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates.
	People like that, or Tony Blair, just talking openly about the next one that's coming and what we're going to do and all this sort of thing.
	It's like, wait, what are we looking at?
	Yeah.
	What really happened there?
	Yeah, well if you want one more angle on this, the other thing is the financial aspect of this as well.
	And this is, you know, this is something I've talked about a fair bit on Brokernomics, which is they announced, oh, we might have to do lockdowns And then they just immediately started printing hundreds of billions of dollars and pounds and everything, right?
	A giant money grab.
	Yeah, massive amounts of money printing.
	And if you go back and look at the history now, they all say, oh, we had to do some money printing to fund, um, to counteract the effects of lockdowns and do the stimulus and stuff.
	And he's like, no, it was the other way around.
	You suggested that you might do lockdowns and immediately started printing the money.
	You already wanted to do that.
	You just needed an excuse.
	Right.
	Because of furlough and all sorts of other things.
	Yeah.
	All of that came after the money.
	We just have to print those more money.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	There's something really, really, really sinister happened there.
	Dr Fauci was involved in it at the heart of it, it seems now.
	And just going on record and saying something like the six-foot exclusion area around people just go, I don't know where that came from.
	I don't know.
	It's not, it's just not good enough.
	It's sort of, it's sort of crazy that they seem to be able to get away with these things without, you know, sort of giant repercussions or being held to account properly in any real way.
	I mean, do you remember James Corden?
	And the presenter?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	The big fat presenter that was in Cats.
	I try not to remember him, but now you've reminded me.
	Yeah, and Gavin and Stacey, you remember him.
	With Ariana Grande doing a song about how brilliant Fauci is and everything.
	I mean just...
	I know, it's not funny but it is funny.
	It's so maddening and weird and freakish that you can only laugh at it.
	I know we talk about it a lot of the time but there does need to be a Nuremberg 2 for this stuff.
	It would be nice if there were some thorough investigation into exactly who was behind it all.
	Because it was clearly coordinated from the very, very, very top.
	I was going to play a bit of the actual thing, but let's not because it's so obnoxious.
	It's so ridiculously obnoxious, I can't really stand it.
	I watched about half of it earlier today, to put the link in the notes here, but I won't subject our audience to it.
	But look at the like to dislike ratio, it has 832 likes and 2.6k dislike.
	It just seems that because you know they say that it's a conspiracy theory you're a thin hat foil wearing idiot if you think there's some sort of cabal that runs the world or at least the western world.
	Well but wait during lockdown a lot of the governments, loads of the governments acted in lockstep immediately in a way to put Massive part of the globe under a type of house arrest and tried to forest a poison on them And to completely demonize anyone that tried to talk out against it.
	So wait, no So there is some sort of coordination whether it's a shadowy cabal or whatever.
	There is some sort of coordination and At the very, very, very tippy top of everything.
	Oh yeah, I mean all of the countries did the same things within a few days of each other.
	The money printing within a few days of each other.
	The lockdowns within a few days.
	The vaccine mandates within a few days of each other.
	And it happened all around the world.
	And we're supposed to pretend that all of this happened just by wild coincidence.
	No, clearly there was a game plan laid out and they were all following it.
	Actually, same thing with conscription now.
	All around Europe, countries are suddenly thinking that they need to have a conversation about conscription.
	No, it's because you want our kids to die in your globalist wars.
	Well, part of the narrative was that Fauci was just the authority.
	We're going to trust the science.
	We've got to go with the science.
	That Dr Fauci's credentials are so great that when he does a press conference saying everyone needs to stay six feet apart from each other, All the world's governments go, OK, yeah, we're doing that now.
	That's policy now.
	Yeah.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Wait, wait.
	Well, anyway, there's so much more that could be said, but I must represent the chat.
	They're really happy you're not playing the song.
	I didn't think anyone would like it, right?
	No one's gonna... Yeah, no, skip that one.
	But, um, there is that last link there, Bill de Blasio.
	Yeah.
	Um, if you play this, though... Oh, yeah, this!
	Do you remember this?
	This!
	Yes!
	It ended up where they would just say, we'll literally bribe you with some fries and a crappy burger.
	Go on, play that, play that for us.
	Free fries when you get vaccinated?
	Um, I got vaccinated.
	You're saying I could get this?
	These delicious fries?
	Wait a minute.
	What an evil shill.
	There's no barbecue sauce.
	He's laughing about it.
	Is it too early in the day?
	This could be breakfast?
	I want you to look at this and think about Again, some people love hamburgers, some don't.
	Really want to respect all ways of life.
	But if this is appealing to you, just think of this when you think of vaccination.
	What?
	Vaccination.
	He's laughing.
	Look, he can't stop himself from laughing.
	I'm getting a very good feeling about vaccination right this moment.
	You psycho son of a bitch.
	Eating something that is absolutely unhealthy and trying to draw allergies with a vaccine.
	It's a lot healthier than the bloody vaccine, though.
	Well, the burgers won't immediately give you massive blood clots and cancer.
	If anyone doesn't know, that was the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, talking to the world as though they're, like, easily bribed idiot children.
	The level of sort of malevolence is sort of sickening, maddening, unbelievable really.
	The thing that annoys me the most about this is future historians are going to look back on this time period and just think that we were all a bunch of simpletons back then.
	They're going to be looking at this as if it's no different from when we, you know, sacrificed our children to the sun god or something.
	They're just going to look at this and think, what a bunch of morons they were.
	How credulous were the general population to have gone along with it?
	You know, like in shops there's just big plastic, giant plastic sheeting around everything.
	People walk around with like the clear welder's mask type thing, and there's so many examples of it.
	Yeah, hopefully people will look back from years from now and be like, they were so stupid.
	Yeah, if you're watching this in a thousand years time, I want it on record that we did not believe in that shit.
	Not everyone bought it.
	So do a little footnote or whatever.
	From a historical perspective, isn't that just the same in every...
	Isn't that a human consent?
	I mean, yes and no.
	Yeah, sure.
	You would have thought we're more cynical now, less trusting and believing.
	For example, if you look back at the early 20th century and World War I, how people Uh, brought into the narrative of that war.
	And you compare that to, say, the Nixon era Vietnam draft.
	Yeah.
	You can see how people aren't, weren't, aren't as trusting anymore.
	Oh, and people are not going to be up for the draft this time.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	And so we are moving, at least in the 20th, 21st century, Moving towards a paradigm of being less credulous, hopefully, but we're still, the vaccine era, sorry, the Covid era, did show that a lot of us are still really almost a mindless sheep-type automaton to be manipulated.
	You mentioned something earlier about how this was an exercise to kind of gauge how credulous the population was.
	And I think they got their answer.
	The answer is 70% of people believe whatever you tell them.
	25% will not believe it but not make a fuss.
	And then 5% of people will kick up an enormous fuss.
	And actually, interestingly, you're like this one, the Germans found the same thing with British prisoners of war.
	They called it the one man in twenty rule.
	They had to identify the one man in twenty, so five percent, that would not go along with the rules of the POW camps and they recognised they had to get them out and into a special camp really early because otherwise there'd be a revolution because they'd get everyone stirred up.
	And maybe with a bit of a fluctuation, maybe it's the way it's always been, right?
	Maybe the numbers are a bit different but probably not all that much different.
	Because I think most people are very gullible and I think something roughly like what Dan says is Accurate.
	And you could say that in some cases, if some institutions lose legitimacy, people stop believing in those institutions, but they could still be massively gullible about all sorts of other stuff.
	So from a historian's perspective, you could say, okay, even if they didn't trust into what the representatives of these institutions were telling them, they could still be seen as gullible and idiotic about a thousand other stuff.
	So I think that from the perspective of Historians, that's going to be always the case.
	If you remember banging pots and pans in solidarity with the NHS, if anyone's American or any other nation that's not British, for a while, for a few weeks there, the news encouraged us to, at a certain time of the evening, on certain days, go outside your front door or on your balcony if you live in a flat or whatever it is.
	Get a pots and pans and bang them, was it like 6 or 7pm or something, in solidarity with the NHS because the NHS has been swamped by so many, I mean even Nigel Farage did that, there's a clip of Nige doing that.
	Now I never did that, that struck me as completely infertile and again, immediately that struck me as, now that is an exercise in sort of getting seals to clap.
	Yeah or something.
	That was AstroTurfed as well.
	So it's disappointing to see how we reacted to that attack, all the various vectors of attack we were attacked there during that Covid couple of years.
	It's disappointing to see how poorly we as a collective reacted to that but hopefully maybe in the future if they try it again we'll be In a slightly better place to not swallow it so wholesale.
	I think we will next time.
	I hope so.
	But the thing is they'll change up the scam, they'll make the scam something else.
	Yeah, right.
	Yeah.
	So, so hopefully.
	Because Covid was, you know, it's still like the flu or whatever, so it's still bad to get it.
	Yeah.
	What if there was one that was actually really dangerous?
	Well, since when does anyone get what they deserve, eh?
	French Revolution?
	There were some pretty just desserts there.
	differently they won't keep on going off to g7 events and all the rest of it right yeah so when you see them behave change their behavior then you know that there's something real okay so we'll uh have a look at the comments shall we yeah yeah let's have the video comments for us yeah well since when does anyone get what they deserve hey french revolution there were some pretty just desserts there yeah yeah -
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We all know where that led.
	Let's go to the second comment.
	Breaking.
	A manhunt is underway in Washington for several suspects who desecrated a Spokane Pride mural.
	City leaders held a conference on the unspeakable tragedy of the mural.
	"Some leaders broke down and tried." - Seriously. - If you actually play the video, this is the proper response.
	If you listen to what they're saying in the council, that's how people should laugh.
	Yes.
	Right.
	All right, let's go to the next one.
	Woohoo!
	Fix the audio!
	I can't hear shit!
	Peter!
	Someone!
	I like the arena feeling Yeah.
	It's funny actually.
	Did that actually happen?
	I mean I didn't see that bit but I was behind it so I didn't see that bit but that's quite funny that happened.
	It's funny there's a clip of Trump turned up I think it must have been yesterday I think it must have been yesterday or possibly the day before turned up at a UFC event and like the cameras go to him in the stadium and the whole stadium cheer.
	Yes.
	Like a genuine cheer.
	Yes.
	It's weird that, not weird, it's great, it's interesting, it's funny, it's funny to note that there's so few politicians that, like ever, that are so popular that a crowd of sort of boozed up or probably half boozed up sort of fight fans would cheer, would actually cheer for you.
	Yeah.
	But they do for Trump.
	Let's go to the next comment.
	The 19th rule of the internet states the more you hate something, the stronger it gets.
	If someone hates you, it shows that you're having an effect on the world.
	Whether you're the Lotus Eaters or Trump.
	I mean, yeah, we have been targeted and you know, that's... Next comment.
	One thing that really bothers me is that Millennials and Zoomers kind of know inherently that working is not going to ever get you anywhere.
	And unfortunately, the best way to make money and get somewhere in life anymore is to kind of get lucky with investment.
	And that really comes in crypto at this point.
	And the unfortunate truth is that doesn't feel fulfilling.
	A real job is, but a real job doesn't pay.
	So we're stuck.
	I know.
	Dan, what do you think?
	Make money in crypto and then do a fun job.
	Yeah.
	That's my advice.
	I mean, fun, good jobs that pay well and that aren't soul-crushing and soul-destroying are few and far between.
	But they do exist.
	Yes.
	There are a few.
	There's none out there.
	Yes.
	And I like that California refugee.
	Yes.
	I would just say to him and people that think along those lines, Yeah, you have to get a bit lucky, but there are things out there.
	Don't despair.
	It's not just Bitcoin trading and that's it.
	No.
	If you do work hard.
	You want to DCA and just hold over the long term.
	If you do work really hard at something, you know, for a while, you have to work quite hard at something for a while, then you can create something.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's worth putting your energies into something positive.
	So like Californian Refugee, I also like the Wizard of Nova Scotia because he said, I'm so glad to have my three favourite lotus eaters on and be able to watch live on my birthday.
	So happy birthday, Mr Nova Scotia.
	Um, on We Are Not Defeated, Lucia Clark says, uh, there are very few things that give me, uh, hope for the future of my country, but Carl's speech in London the other day is one of them.
	I think that many Englishmen can assemble in one place for the cause of England, that perhaps when the time comes, there will be enough of us willing to do what must be done, to reclaim what has been lost, to reforge that which has been shattered.
	We are not defeated.
	Yes.
	Lord Nedevar says, I saw Carl's speech in London.
	I know he isn't too happy with his oratory skills, but that speech was tremendously uplifting, one in which he came across extremely well.
	I like the chants of England, especially with the cheers of the crowd added on.
	It was one of those moments where you realise we are still here and we are going to win.
	Exactly right.
	Sophie Liv says, In Denmark, you can hire teens between the age of 15 to 70, and pay them below the minimum wage.
	In exchange, teens who are below the lowest tax bracket don't have to pay any tax whatsoever.
	It's been super beneficial to everyone.
	Sophie's coming out in favour of child labour.
	It's not really child labour when it's 15 to 17.
	I mean, in the eyes of the law it is, isn't it?
	Yeah, yes.
	I mean, I had a paper round when I was like 11 or 12 or whatever.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	I had my little car washing business, I went door to door and...
	Make good money that way, actually.
	Look, the problem is when you're making eight-year-olds work in a factory for 18 hours.
	Yeah, that's a bit odd.
	Yeah, I'm not a fan of that.
	And also, George Hap says, Dan's selfies are top tier, smart man.
	One of the funniest things about the Tommy event was there wasn't a single leftist agitator yelling during the speeches.
	Oh, there was a single leftist agitator yelling during the speeches and he was completely ignored, so he got tired and he left.
	Right, so anything else I want to mention on that?
	No, let's go over to the Mannheim incident.
	We've got some rumbles.
	You have just one last one from Arizona Desert Rat.
	Oh yeah, so somebody managed to ruin one of the best sandwiches ever invented.
	I quite liked it actually, it was alright.
	Right, let's go now to the comments for the Mannheim incident.
	We have a donation of Oh Fuck.
	He says, import Muslims become a shithole.
	Seems obvious enough.
	BoldEagle1787, yet another donation.
	Thank you.
	What is sad is that Kopp probably expected his co-workers to back him up and help with his situation by detaining everyone that was involved.
	I think that's a very fair comment, and there were many officers there who just did nothing, and as you pointed out, some of them just even ran.
	Biggy Bigfoot, why do we persist with the lie that Islam is a religion of peace?
	Kevin Fox, yeah, the knife-wielding Nutter was shot dead.
	However, go on Google and type in, did the Mannheim knife attacker die?
	Thomas Howell.
	You think you hate the corporate media enough, but you don't.
	Sophie Lev.
	One thing that happened in Germany.
	They considered loading the voting age to 16.
	Then they found out that the majority of young people wanted to vote AfD.
	Then they dropped the idea.
	Thane Scott of Swindon, look at the related articles to the side on that article.
	Gay conversion therapy in Italy and Russia is like 1984.
	They have such an obvious slant there, there's little to now point acknowledging the articles they produce.
	And by George Happ, the German Cup got the diversity reward he fought for.
	I think that this is a, this is a... It's slightly more complicated than that, actually.
	It's more complicated, and honestly, I think that this is a bit unfair, because if you look at the event, again, I think, first of all, when you have a large amount of people, a large group fighting, and also a large amount of, a large group of police officers, I think it's natural for them to all try and detain everyone and separate the people who are fighting, so it doesn't mean necessarily that he did this, that he wanted to assist.
	The criminal.
	It was all very confusing.
	Bobby, your segment has brought out the big bugs, Bo.
	Right, yeah, there's a few super chat things, aren't there?
	So, XerX said, a bit of correction, less than 60,000 died without government involvement in COVID deaths.
	I burned out my anger in 2020.
	I'm just disappointed and want serious charges and sentences for evil people here.
	Yeah, absolutely Sean 487 for $10 says buy into buy into My doctor forced my 88 year old mum or he would drop her in Canada.
	There is a drop her in Canada There's a three to five year waiting list for a doctor.
	I hope he's not annoyed at me I don't mean to annoy anyone No, he's got a fair point.
	In places like Canada, Israel and Australia, you were basically forced... Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't really say in my segment, which I meant to.
	We sort of stressed that it wasn't just annoying, you had to go one in, one out in Tesco.
	It was annoying that you had to put a mask on sometimes.
	You won't get the kidney transplant you need unless you take this thing.
	Making old people die on their own.
	Oh, yeah.
	Things like this.
	And the mental health repercussions for little kids.
	Yeah.
	And the solitude for everyone.
	But yeah, particularly old people being sort of forced to be lonely and even die alone.
	I mean, yeah, I didn't, I sort of didn't really get round to talking about that whole side of it.
	The evil of it.
	The evil of it.
	So, Shaun is right to point that out, absolutely.
	A madness.
	Zurank again said, I just want to remark that by the end of October 2020, New York Times said over 180,000 people in the US died in nursing homes.
	At the same time, our total death count was 240,000, meaning less than 60,000 died.
	Right.
	OK.
	Shaun again said, I recently had a CT scan of my lungs.
	They were fine.
	The scan revealed two closed arteries in my heart after vaccine.
	Previous scan heart healthy.
	Oh, God.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	In fact, actually, I might do a Brokenomics soon with a couple of people who've been vaccine injured.
	And their stories are horrific.
	Yeah.
	Absolutely horrific.
	It's funny in the, um, not funny, not funny, haha, funny.
	Yeah.
	Interesting, funny.
	Evil.
	That's the worst, it's not funny in any way.
	It's interesting, let's say, um, to note that in Britain, if anyone doesn't know, we're having an investigation into it all, aren't we?
	We're having a whitewash.
	We're having a whitewash into it.
	Yeah.
	And the whole angle is, why didn't you lock us down quicker and faster and more?
	That's the angle.
	That's the whole angle of it.
	My God!
	Yeah.
	Fortunately, the process that Fauci is going through at the moment seems a lot more interesting.
	So the dam might break there instead.
	And one last one.
	BaldEagle1787 says, all the pandemic did was show just how mentally unstable over half the West is, and still is.
	At this point, World War 3 would be the best way to fix it, since the major cities would be wiped out.
	Yeah, I don't think I can go that far.
	Right, so are you going to say some more, or should we?
	Well, we've gone over time.
	We can do a couple, I'm sure.
	We can do a couple.
	Okay, someone online said, the guy who tortured puppies to death is a bad guy, no way.
	What was that a reference to?
	Maybe...
	Oh, Fauci!
	Yeah.
	Yeah, because he...
	We all remembered at the same moment.
	I'm not even going to say what he did, but what he did to those puppies was horrific.
	Just doing testing on animals.
	Yeah, but...
	Particularly cute puppies for some reason.
	But it was basically torture, not research.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I think we have time for one more and we could wrap up and...
	Okay.
	AZ Desert Rat or AZ Desert Rat said, vaccine mandates are evil.
	If someone wants to get vaccinated, that's their business, but don't try to force anyone to get vaccinated.
	Yeah, I've said it before, they will have to...
	So, hope you enjoyed it and hope you had a good time and hopefully we'll see you tomorrow.
	Bye.
