	It seems we have reached a liminal moment in our politics.
	We have recently crossed a threshold from which there is no going back.
	We must understand what is happening to us and what is at stake.
	This is the will of the second issue of Islander Magazine.
	The magnificent success of the first issue has only emboldened us to pierce deeper past the veil and uncover the mysteries beyond.
	It is in this gradual process of becoming in which we will find within ourselves the determination and grit to endure.
	Luckily, we have many great thinkers to help us.
	We feature outstanding exclusive articles from famous law smiths, Such as Dave Green, Marcus Follin, Morgoth's Review, Stefan Molyneux, Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale, Dr. Nima Parvini and myself, along with many more.
	These are couched in the beautiful aesthetic experience that you have come to expect from Islander.
	And as with the first issue, each issue of Islander is unique and distinct.
	It will only be printed once and for a limited time.
	So order your copy now.
	Many more is here.
	Bet you didn't expect that, did you?
	Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters, episode 999.
	I'm your host, Harry, joined today by Josh.
	And you should buy this.
	You should buy this.
	You should.
	Okay?
	It's amazing.
	It's excellent.
	It has effects similar to Viagra.
	It's amazing.
	At least on Harry.
	That's not actually true.
	But it's wonderful.
	It's brilliant.
	I'm in it.
	Josh is in it, sadly.
	But, you know, can't all be winners, can they?
	I've got the fewest number of words per person out of anyone.
	It actually does.
	Josh has been very artistic with this, and you should all be very proud.
	It's pronounced autistic, Harry.
	Okay.
	But yeah, it's great.
	It's wonderful, and it's available on the website right now.
	We're printing them to order this time instead of pre-orders, so if you order it right now, you should be able to get it in the next two to three weeks, and it's a limited run, so you should be able to have them available until about a month, maybe five weeks from now.
	I don't know exactly.
	I don't know if we've figured it out yet.
	But it is limited, and when we say limited, we do mean limited, so get it right now.
	Same with all of the wonderful merch that we have on the website, that you can get.
	Islander Forestry Company t-shirt, Friar, the Calvin Robinson t-shirt.
	Friar Calvin.
	Pay me money, and I will speak like a normal human being.
	Maybe.
	Question.
	Oh yeah, Calvin's got his show after.
	Yeah, Calvin's still got his show after.
	It's different now that he's not here.
	He's in America, so he's doing a show from there.
	He's doing a hands-free show.
	He's not going to be in the studio.
	Also, we've got this.
	You may have noticed there's a special number today, 999.
	What comes after 999?
	Not the police very quickly.
	No, not in England.
	No, but also 1000.
	Yes, 1000, because that's what tomorrow's episode is.
	Episode 1000, where we'll be having a normal podcast to begin with, typical 1-2 o'clock British summertime, and then afterwards we'll be doing an extended freemium lads hour which should feature all the lads where we'll be talking about the podcast, answering your questions.
	It'll be a grand old time.
	Also, if you're having any trouble with the video players that are on the website, Odyssey or Rumble, there are alternative web players underneath on the Lotus Eases page, so use them instead.
	We can't control how these third-party video players work, sadly.
	Also, one last thing before we start.
	This.
	Oh, what a succulent tome.
	Ah, no.
	Harry's gonna eat James O'Brien's book for his segment.
	I'm gonna eat his face.
	Metaphorically.
	No, somebody sent this in for us, which is James O'Brien's latest book called How They Broke Britain, which is different from his other two books where he complains about how correct he is about everything.
	And you know what?
	You know what?
	I'm gonna read it.
	I'm gonna read it so I can understand all of the blue and non-insane leftist conspiracy theories, and once I've read it, I'll report back to you all with my findings.
	This is a true anthropological study, this is more dangerous than going into the deepest depths of the Amazon, so wish me luck, send me your prayers, I need your strength, gentlemen.
	Anyway, with that, What are we talking about?
	We're talking about news, which is Haitians, again, they're still eating things, not people, yet.
	Geese.
	Honk.
	Yep.
	We're going to talk about the cult of anti-white self-hatred and India's racist cow gangs, which I have no idea about.
	Very interested to figure out what Josh is going to assail me with there.
	Anyway, with that, let's get into it.
	Oh, yeah.
	Stuff.
	So yes, Springfield, Ohio.
	This has been a centre of lots of political controversy for what is otherwise quite a small town in America.
	As you can see, if I zoom out to the entirety of America, it's very tiny, you can't even see it.
	And of course this is regarding the 20,000 Haitians that have been moved by the government to this small town that didn't necessarily ask for this.
	This is like a Call of Duty airdrop with even worse disastrous results.
	Yeah, this is getting crushed by the crate that you've just called in.
	But yes, obviously a very small place, probably not equipped to deal with 20,000 Haitians, and of course there have been lots of conversations about things going on.
	There was a case where I believe a man drove the wrong way down a highway and hit a school bus on the first day of school, sadly.
	Yes, we'll be talking about that.
	in Harry's segment, but sadly a child died from this.
	As well as the more widely reported, for some reason, discussions about them eating things they should not be eating.
	And we'll be looking into that.
	But talking of things that are centres for political controversy, the Islander magazine is out now, so if you want to see what all the cool people are reading, even Harry's got one.
	They took pity on him.
	Does this mean I'm a cool person?
	You are now.
	Just buying Islander Magazine does make you cool.
	But we have this on the merch store for a limited time only.
	It's very good.
	There are some great writers in there.
	I've had a little sneaky peek at what's in there and I'm really looking forward to reading some of the articles.
	Don't tell them that.
	They won't buy it then, will they?
	They might.
	I wrote a nice poem in there.
	One of them's gonna buy it.
	That's true.
	There's also merch as well, so we've got some t-shirts and stuff, a mug.
	They're all pretty cool and you will be too if you buy them, so do that.
	Yes.
	Let's start about sort of fact-checking some stuff.
	So, this lady here is not Haitian.
	She is one of those so-called African Americans and she is the person who killed... She's closer to a Haitian than you or I are.
	That's true, yes.
	Both geographically and potentially genetically as well.
	But, um...
	Yes, she is the lady who killed and ate a cat.
	This has been circulated around lots of different spheres suggesting that this person was a Haitian and this was in Canton, Ohio.
	It wasn't in Springfield, Ohio.
	Which is, believe it or not, a different place.
	But her name, what is it?
	Alexis Telia Ferrell.
	Living up to the second name there.
	Very feral, eating a cat in the street.
	But there is a video of it as well to go along with this.
	I wouldn't advise watching it because it has a dead cat in and if you're a normal person that's disgusting and horrible.
	And yes, I wanted to play what J.D.
	Vance had to say to CNN about this, because I thought it was interesting.
	Because I'm going to be correcting the narrative, basically.
	So there has been some rubbish posted, but there's also been some good stuff.
	And I think actually J.D.
	Vance makes a very good point here.
	I'm starting to see why Trump might have actually picked him.
	So let's have a listen to what he says to CNN.
	What I would say is he brought up this misleading false claim that you yourself have talked about in recent days about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio abducting people's pets and eating them, which officials there have said is not true.
	You yourself acknowledged it may be false on Twitter.
	You still told people to keep spreading it, but Trump just amplified it.
	Tens of millions of people who are watching.
	Why push something that's not true?
	Well, first of all, city officials have not said it's not true.
	They said they don't have all the evidence.
	They said they have no evidence.
	We've heard from a number of constituents on the ground, Caitlin, who both first-hand and second-hand reports saying this stuff is happening.
	So they very clearly, meaning the people on the ground dealing with this, think that it is happening.
	And I think that it's important for journalists to actually get on the ground and uncover this stuff for themselves when you have a lot of people saying, my pets are being abducted, or geese at the city pond are being abducted and slaughtered right in front of us.
	This is crazy stuff.
	And again, whether those exact rumors turn out to be mostly true, somewhat true, whatever the case may be, Caitlin, this town has been ravaged by 20,000 migrants coming in.
	Health care costs are up.
	Housing costs are up.
	Communicable diseases like HIV and TB have skyrocketed in this small Ohio town.
	This is what Kamala Harris's border policies have done.
	And I think it's interesting, Kaitlin, that the media didn't care about the carnage wrought by these policies until we turned it into a meme about cats.
	And that speaks to the media's failure to care about what's going on in these communities.
	If we have to meme about it to get the media to care, we're going to keep on doing it because the media should care about what's going on.
	That's actually a really good answer.
	It is, yeah.
	I was just about to say that.
	That was quite politically astute and quite deft in that there are lots of real problems.
	He didn't necessarily shoehorn it in like some politicians do where they use it as a segue to talk about what they want to talk about that makes them look good.
	He said, listen, there are lots of real things that we should be talking about.
	We did this because you refused to acknowledge these problems and we're just using this as a vehicle.
	Whether it's basically true or not, we don't know yet, but that's what people on the ground are saying.
	I think the greater point that he's making is that whether or not the stories of the cats or dogs are true, we don't know yet, is that all of these people being airdropped into this community has created chaos and causing massive problems.
	So that's what we need to focus on.
	Yes, and we can see that these lessons have not been learnt, and we will do.
	But of course, there has been confirmation.
	Here is me tweeting about it very modestly, including that in the segment, but I've included it because it isolates the quote here of the person calling the police, and there's an audio recording, I can't remember, The Federalist reported on it, and this has been pretty widely shared now.
	Oh fantastic!
	In that recording, someone says, "I see a group of Haitian people, there was about four of them, they all had geese in their hands." And this is a call to the police, but the police didn't file a report on it, but they received a call, suggesting that the residents are calling up, it's just that the police haven't formally recognised this problem.
	Oh, fantastic.
	I wonder where I've seen that before.
	Hmm, it's funny that.
	But...
	There's better than that.
	There is this.
	A man, a Haitian man, presumably, carrying a goose in what looks like America.
	This has been circulating.
	I've not been able to confirm whether this is definitely a Haitian man and definitely Springfield, Ohio, but the fact that this is circulating is interesting.
	Whether it's true or not, we can't know yet.
	However, Given the nature of Haiti, I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility.
	They eat dirt.
	They eat dirt there.
	They eat dirt- As in, you're not- They actually do eat dirt.
	Also- So a goose is gonna be a full three-course meal to them.
	You may remember, this is the Australian Associated Press fact check, so this is trusted, accurate, and impartial, and they're saying that That's General Barbecue isn't it?
	Yes it is but this is from March of 2024 and we were all talking about General Barbecue and there was a video circulating of a gang member engaging in cannibalism and they said this is false this actually comes from 2021 which is interesting for our purposes because it does suggest that cannibalism is going on in Haiti.
	So they did the classic fact check of well we'll correct the date and say the whole thing is false but the actual cannibalism part is true.
	Yes.
	So the video that was circulating they were suggesting at the time that this was this General Barbecue's henchman or something like that and they're eating people.
	However it seems like it's an older video but it doesn't put it past the realms of possibility that there is cannibalism going on.
	How widespread of course is very difficult to know and as Carl rightly pointed out to me the last time I talked about this it's not necessarily all Haitian people doing it and I'm going to add that caveat in the I'm gonna add another caveat.
	Any cannibalism at all is bad.
	I'm not going to disagree with that, of course.
	I think that's implicit in me talking about it.
	The fact that cannibalism is going on and being filmed in Haiti is a bad thing.
	I have seen the video as well, and I don't encourage people to go and watch it because it's gross, but there is a man pulling flesh off a leg in a fire, clearly a human leg.
	It's unmistakable, and eating it.
	And yes, I do think that this is legitimate.
	There is also this as well.
	This is a study from 1959 talking about the persistence of cannibalism in Haiti.
	So it's a long tradition, right?
	And of course...
	There's these articles as well from the 15th of March this is before all of this pet stuff existed where Rolling Stone was trying to say this is an absurd lie that there's a cannibal invasion but I think the point being is that people are pointing to the fact that this is going on to acknowledge the the massive gulf between American society in America it's not difficult to get a burger in Haiti...
	They're resorting to eating people, in very rare cases.
	And dirt.
	And dirt.
	I have to keep harping on this, which is that they actively eat dirt.
	They make it into cookies.
	According to the clip that keeps going around, a lot of their women spend all day preparing dirt cookies.
	They're trying their best, Harry.
	With what they have.
	Yeah.
	It's better than eating people, though.
	I'm sure this is all France's fault somehow.
	But I'm going to go through some of the articles very quickly, just quick fire through all of these.
	The Hill talking about conspiracy theories about them eating pets, complete BS and misinformation apparently, according to the White House anyway.
	Here's CNN, false rumours about them It's difficult to tell because they've not actually investigated it yet, as JD Vance pointed out.
	We don't know, but there are reports from the local residents saying this sort of thing.
	There is some evidence to suggest it could be true.
	We're just dismissing it because they said it.
	Yeah, we can't say anything for certain, but the mainstream media is saying for certain that it's not happening.
	Yes.
	Which normally means it might well be happening.
	Of course when it comes out, as I suspect it will, that it is happening when an independent journalist- It's a good thing.
	Gets footage, yes, they'll say, why do you care?
	It's not even your cat, bro.
	There'll probably be an- I'm calling it now, there'll be an article saying actually cats are devastating to the local wildlife.
	They catch birds and mice that are essential parts That was the best part of the debate, I'll hint.
	something like that they'll try and justify it uh here's abc trump talking about abducting and eating pets that was the best part nbc i'll hate no argument uh again nbc baseless claim bbc in the Baseless claim.
	Same words, funnily enough.
	Baseless again?
	Yes, baseless.
	It's funny, there's almost like there's coordination between the media.
	That's a baseless allegation, Geoff.
	It is true.
	All of my allegations are baseless.
	And the racist rumour that Haitian immigrants are abducting people's pets and eating them in Ohio.
	It sounds like they're abducting them from elsewhere, from the wording of that title, but that's just me being a grammar mid-century German.
	And then Reuters did a fact check.
	No evidence of Haitian immigrants stealing and eating pets.
	Except for the phone call to the police.
	And the pictures of a person with a goose.
	I think it's relevant to point out, according to NeoUnrealist on our Rumble Rants for $1, thank you, he said that that picture of the man carrying a goose was taken in Columbus, Ohio in 2021, which is far from Springfield, but for the sake of accuracy it was in a news article in 2021, so thank you for correcting us on that.
	We have live fact-checking from our audience, so there we go, we're better than the mainstream media already.
	So if somebody could fact-check the fact-check and then we can get that in as well, we can keep this podcast going on.
	We're just gonna have a stack of fact checks.
	Just go on forever.
	This one, the headlines disappeared for some reason, so I'm just gonna ignore that.
	So anyway, onto something else.
	Sneeko, being half-Haitian... Who is Sneeko, for the audience watching at home?
	Um... A weird Muslim fella.
	I don't know exactly what he does or is, I just see him saying stupid things.
	Who is he?
	He's a streamer, and according to our office manager, apparently he used to work for Mr. Beast.
	Okay.
	So the Mr Beast to Muslim anti-Semite pipeline is a thing.
	Interesting isn't it?
	The controversies just keep on stacking up don't they?
	But because he's half Haitian he took real exception to this story and he was really angry about it.
	He's saying it's fake just like the Muslim refugee who was actually born in Cardiff It's already verified that the cat lady was just a black American, which is actually true But I like in that he's already just the the Muslim refugee Yeah, that was a misinformation that was spread to begin with but the whole born in Cardiff.
	He is Rwandan mm-hmm Southport attacker alleged attacker is Rwandan mm-hmm, but he's trying to dismiss that of course.
	Yeah, and It's easy to pick on third world countries like Haiti for being poor.
	I find that funny, that within it he's unintentionally dunking on them.
	But we should not demonise innocent people.
	Well, we're not demonising innocent people, we're saying the people who are doing the bad things are bad.
	Um, you know, we're not blanketly saying... This is a very complex moral argument you're making here.
	I know.
	People are accountable for their own actions.
	However, I think it's legitimate, if you're talking about immigration, that if people live in a country like Haiti, you should probably be concerned about who they are and what they do, because it's a very different society than America.
	So, Haiti has been completely destabilised ever since the Clinton Foundation stole billions of dollars in charity money.
	Why did they need the charity money?
	America doesn't need to function with charity money.
	This is America's fault.
	I saw a lot of people saying, when I posted about Haiti, they were saying, oh well, France ruined them through the reparations that were asked for after, you know, all of the wanton, needless murder of all of the white people who lived there.
	It's funny how no one touches on that.
	On San Domingo, as it should be known.
	And they were saying, well, they asked for however much money, I think in modern currency it would come to about 560 million dollars.
	For the past 70 years, Haiti has received, let me think, yeah, 20 billion dollars in international aid.
	So, it doesn't help, and if it is true that it just keeps going to various intermediaries or a corrupt government of Haiti, well then what makes you think that any form of reparations would get to the people who need the help in the first place?
	So yes, obviously this is a load of nonsense, but he's gone to Haiti, I think.
	The beautiful country of Haiti.
	By the way, I challenge anyone to go on Google Earth and have a look at Haiti from the skies and tell me how beautiful, particularly their capital Port-au-Prince, is.
	Because let me tell you, it looks like District 9.
	That's what it looks like, to be honest.
	It's also worth pointing out that there have been discussions about the culture of Haiti, let's just say that.
	And this is a video here looking at... I'm going to play it ever so briefly.
	I'm just going to turn the audio off.
	But basically there's a toilet here and there are also people washing and swimming and fishing in the same place.
	They've built a little toilet shack on the water.
	And he's pointing to all these boats and then there are people swimming there and there are also people fishing there.
	Going to the toilet, yes.
	Which is very, very basic sanitation.
	You can see just from the status of the structures that this is not... That doesn't look very stable either, does it?
	It doesn't look particularly to the standards of American architecture, does it?
	Let's be honest.
	And Keith Woods here points out that the average IQ in Haiti is 65 to 70, for whatever reason that might be.
	And because Sneeko is half-Haitian, I wanted to point out this as well.
	He took an IQ test.
	He got below average.
	Just throwing that out there.
	Only slightly.
	Only slightly.
	Only five points below.
	So I feel like he has a sort of vested interest in vindicating the people of Haiti.
	If you're interested in taking this IQ test, it's free on Mensa Norway's website.
	Let us know your results.
	What, are they paying you?
	No, I just think it's interesting.
	It is interesting, to be fair.
	But if you want to see the consequences of this test score, you only need to look at this.
	If you're a white supremacist, you are Jewish, according to Sneeko, for some reason.
	I don't know how you can make that leap in logic.
	Maybe my IQ is just too high to understand.
	This is because he's been associated and friends with Nick Fuentes and the Groipers for a long time, and after the whole Haiti-Springfield thing, he has suddenly split from them and started to make a lot of insults.
	So, of course, being Groipers, their only insult that they know is, you're Jewish.
	Which is silly in this context.
	Very silly in this context, so now he's throwing that claim out against them as he wildly tries to defend one half of his family.
	I mean, I don't blame him for trying to defend his family.
	Yeah, I understand that.
	So, obviously, Haiti shares an island with the Dominican Republic, and like North Korea and South Korea, you can see the division in the societies.
	Obviously, on the top is Not Haiti.
	The one at the bottom is obviously Haiti.
	You can see the flags, right?
	So the Dominican Republic looks like a functional society.
	And Haiti less so, I would say.
	I think that is fair to say, right?
	So you can see the comparison, obviously there's a lot of difference there, and there's also... And this isn't to say as well that the Dominican Republic won't also have poorer, more impoverished areas?
	Of course, yeah.
	A lot of these side-by-side comparisons can be a little bit uncharitable, but it illustrates the difference, doesn't it?
	I don't think any places like the ones showcased in the Dominican Republic could exist in Haiti.
	So here we have a tweet from some random dude, Hang on a minute, it's you!
	No, no one important.
	No one important.
	But if you want to see the consequences of that average IQ, what can you spot about this picture that... I didn't notice until somebody pointed it out to me.
	He's pulling it off with the confidence, but what is that in that man's hand?
	Is it a gun?
	No.
	It's a stick.
	He's got a stick and he's holding it like a gun.
	Fair play.
	He's on a confidence play.
	Yes.
	This is like the real world equivalent of playing poker, right?
	He's calling a bluff.
	Well, he's making a bluff, actually.
	He's not calling one.
	And this is also in response to this girl, Katie, saying that you can't think that IQ is a real or useful measure of anything and also believe any country in the world has an average IQ of 67.
	This is scientific... I know the leftists like to use this, but this is clear scientific denial.
	We have A lot of evidence showing the functionality of IQ as a measurement of something.
	Something useful that we can use to measure the likelihood of somebody to either be mentally defunct, you could say, or achieve things and be able to solve problems.
	It correlates with success, more generally speaking.
	It's not the main factor, but it's one that is significant enough to be worthy of study, I think, is my Yeah, and it's shown time and time again, it is measuring something significant.
	Yes, it is.
	I mean, it's one of the most studied things in psychology, so yes.
	Yeah, and sadly, this is what it looks like when your average IQ is 67.
	Well, I've actually got a detailed breakdown here from Jeremy Kaufman, who does some good stuff actually.
	And he says, with an IQ of 67, let's talk about what that means.
	With an IQ of 67 or below, the average Haitian over half the country would be considered too disabled to be eligible for the death penalty in the United States.
	Some at this level will struggle to understand the cause and effect of basic things as well as to participate in American society at all.
	Even filling out forms will be hard.
	At one standard deviation up from 67 we have an IQ of 82.
	Around one in six Haitians are intelligent enough to be a below average janitor.
	This is the level of intelligence of poor urban areas in America.
	The top one in six are not even intelligent enough, according to this data, to be able to do basic functions in American society.
	Which is a very interesting thing.
	But yes, I wanted to just cover this, add some sort of science to the debate, as well as correct some misinfo, and point out the fact that yes, the mainstream media doesn't know these things, it can't rightly say this, and it may well come out that these reports have some truth to them about Shall we go through some of these rumble rounds?
	we have the precedent set in haiti itself where they've come from uh that they're not too picky eaters uh so there you go should we go through some of these rumble rounds my goodness there are a lot yeah we've got quite a few no okay rumble is glitched they've been duplicated oh Oh, alright, okay.
	So, first off, The Shadow Band for $10, thank you very much.
	Says, congrats on 999 podcasts, it's been a wild ride, and keep keeping such a good mood when venturing into such depressing topics.
	Haha, you only see us while we're on the podcast.
	Bald Eagle 1787 says for $2, no official reports.
	So if there are no official reports of anything, then it never happened according to the mainstream media, even if there are eyewitness accounts and they wonder why people don't trust them.
	Excellent point.
	And finally, from the last Russian for $2, Elon tweeted a video of a daughter of a Haitian immigrant explaining that most Haitians do eat cats and practice voodoo with a link.
	So I think while we're still on this subject...
	Let's have a nosy, shall we?
	Let's take a quick look here, shall we?
	So let me just load this up.
	I really hope it doesn't show us We need to be careful in case it shows like how they eat cats.
	I know, that's true.
	Okay, here we go.
	So let's just check this out while we're still on the subject.
	My father immigrated from Haiti to the United States in the late 60s as a teenager.
	And I want to talk about these recent comments about the Haitians in Springfield, Ohio.
	First, I want to say my father and I are now estranged, but I did know him in my very, very young years.
	And when he immigrated, he was one person and they weren't sending, you know, thousands of Haitians in one area.
	He wasn't eating people's pets and he didn't practice voodoo.
	But he did say that most of the island, the majority of the island does practice voodoo.
	The reason they eat cats is for two reasons.
	Number one is survival.
	This is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
	You can't just go to a food bank like you can here or just go to McDonald's and get some free or cheap food.
	Unless of course there's a Christian missionary there.
	People in the United States have a really hard time imagining that type of thing, but it is true.
	Second, they do do animal sacrifices for their religion.
	Voodoo.
	They make these animal sacrifices to these gods for different reasons.
	You can do your own research on this.
	Do I think voodoo is a demonic religion?
	Yes, I do.
	That doesn't mean, obviously that doesn't mean that you hate these people.
	These people need prayer.
	But you can't just take over all these people from another country and expect it to work.
	Not to mention it doesn't fix the problems of that country.
	And there's more people left in Haiti that we can bring over.
	Yeah, I think those are all reasonable points.
	Yeah, fair enough.
	But, uh, yeah.
	I only just recently- I didn't even realize until recently that voodoo came from Haiti.
	So, yeah, that's another reason to not want Haitians.
	You don't want to be sacrificed?
	No, I don't want to be sacrificed.
	I don't want my pets to be sacrificed.
	I don't want my friends to be sacrificed.
	That's a very radical position.
	Josh, if you were being sacrificed by a Haitian, I would try to save you.
	Aww.
	I would save you too.
	Yeah, that's one for the shippers.
	Out there, all you disgusting freaks.
	Anyway, let's talk about the cult of self-hatred.
	Whose self-hatred, you might ask?
	Well, you know where I'm going with this one, which is white people being taught to hate themselves from birth.
	Why is it that this happens?
	How is this, uh, how is it that this happens?
	Let's take a look.
	But first, if you don't hate yourself, if you have respect for yourself and want to create more opportunities for yourself and make yourself smarter, you should buy this.
	Islander, Volume 2, which is the Lotus Eaters official magazine now.
	We've got some wonderful articles in here from people like myself.
	Josh wrote a poem for it.
	We've got articles from people like Dave the Distributist, from The Golden One.
	Stefan Molyneux.
	Stefan Molyneux decided to come out of hiding.
	Nima Parvini.
	Nima Parvini.
	We've got plenty of excellent content in there.
	Roeg Nationalist.
	You can stop now.
	Harry Robinson.
	I already said me.
	There's lots of fantastic articles in here so it's well worth a read and it is limited for a very short time only they will be available through the website we're not doing pre-orders they are printed upon order so once you order yours you should receive it within about two to three weeks and they will be limited so only for about a month maybe a month and a bit will you be able to get a hold of these so get them now before they're all gone.
	Also, get the merchandise that we have here, get a For England poster, get a mug, get this awesome Islander Metal t-shirt, this is fantastic.
	I want one, I need one, or I'll cry.
	Anyway, moving on.
	The first thing I wanted to look at is this recent article from the Guardian published earlier on today around the first thing in the morning, in fact, talking about the UK English curricula should focus on inclusive and diverse stories according to a particular author.
	Is that the author there?
	Yes.
	They should stop reading other people's stories.
	They should read my stories, says woman.
	Exactly, yes.
	I wonder, she should also put down the fork, but this is obviously motivated reasoning.
	You wouldn't get this sort of argument unless you were a fifth columnist in a foreign country who wants to put your own position forward first.
	I'm gonna move to China and say you need to stop reading Chinese stories, you need to start reading more white people stories, alright?
	Yeah, have you ever heard of Shakespeare China?
	He's who you should be reading.
	You should read me.
	So this woman is an ex-children's laureate, Mallory Blackman, who said that no student should feel that English is irrelevant because they do not see themselves reflected in the literature.
	So this is just complete narcissism, erasure.
	This is the thing that could only happen as a result of demographic replacement coming to the schools.
	Because who are these students who don't see themselves reflected in the literature?
	If an English student who is English is reading English literature, shouldn't they see themselves reflected in that?
	There's also the point that a lot of English literature transcends England, right?
	It can also be read in the rest of the UK, for a start, and there are people in Scotland, no doubt, that read English authors and vice versa.
	And also in the rest of Europe.
	You know, you can ask an Italian, do you know Shakespeare?
	They'll probably say yes.
	Have you heard of Shakespeare's plays?
	Probably yes.
	Well, Romeo and Juliet is set in Italy.
	Verona, yeah.
	Yeah, and you don't have to be Italian to appreciate it.
	It's also just a very stupid person thing to say.
	Just like, this person isn't exactly like me and therefore I don't enjoy the story.
	When I watched WALL-E, The Pixar film, I think it is.
	It's probably DreamWorks or something.
	It is, it is Pixar.
	Okay.
	I knew someone would be like, actually.
	But when I watched that, I didn't think, well, I'm not a robot.
	I'm not enjoying this.
	I'm not a small rubbish-collecting robot falling in love, so I can't appreciate this whatsoever.
	No, there are universal themes that can be transmitted through media, but a lot of these people, one, are narcissists, and they legitimately can't appreciate media unless the people it focuses on look and behave exactly like them, and two, of course she's going to say this because she wants her own books.
	Fundamentally, all of this ideology amounts to resource extraction from the native population.
	That's what it is.
	We have resources that they want, and they will use any means necessary to take them from us.
	Yeah, and this is all aided by the government.
	So this woman, Mallory Blackman, was the author of a book series called Noughts and Crosses, which I actually remember learning about when I was younger and in school.
	And she said all of this in the foreword to a literature in colour campaign report so that it could try to encourage more children to read for pleasure.
	I think that's a great idea.
	More children should read, especially in the era of social media.
	But of course, what they read is just as important.
	She also said that no child should feel that studying English at schools is relevant because they never see themselves in it.
	There will always be room for the classics in the UK English literature curricula, but a space and place needs to be made for more inclusive and diverse contemporary stories across all educational boards.
	So that's bollocks, right?
	By the way, this even went on growing up in South Devon in a very, very majority, as in as majority as it can possibly get, white British area.
	and And we had to read a book called Gangster Rap.
	I think that's by Benjamin Zephaniah.
	Oh, not that one.
	It was awful as well, it was utter drivel.
	And I was just like, why are we reading this?
	We were reading Shakespeare a minute ago, now we're looking at some people who are actually trying to be criminals.
	Also showing that to teenagers, just like, here you are, here's how to be a criminal.
	Is that really good?
	It's a terrible example to set, but also what she was saying there, obvious rubbish, because you only have a limited amount of time to cover particular stories over the course of a curriculum, over the course of a school term, so of course if you want to put one extra thing in, one other thing's going to have to be taken out.
	So the idea that it's this equal game where you can have as much time... No, it's a zero-sum game.
	If your book gets in, somebody else's gets taken out.
	The campaign, this Literature in Colour, was created by Penguin Books in 2020 in partnership with the Runnymede Trust of course aiming to help schools make the teaching and learning of English literature more inclusive for writers of colour.
	Completely selfish motivation.
	It was launched, guess when, after the global Black Lives Matter protests which should have had no effect and nothing to do with Britain.
	It was nothing to do with us.
	and they inspired campaigns to diversify the curriculum in schools so this is all about getting children as young as possible essentially because a lot of these books are not written for the sake of literature they are written for the sake of propaganda so they want to get the propaganda into your children's eyes before you can do anything about it as long as possible my ideal society would have urban youths reading the poem beowulf in its original old english and writing a detailed commentary on it.
	That's what I want.
	I think you're being a bit ambitious there, Josh, but I respect what you're aiming for there.
	In fact, on the subject of the UK English curriculum, Connor wrote an excellent article about it two years ago now, so this is back from June 2022, so things have probably only got worse since then, but he points out here one of the most hit parts of the curriculum ...was, uh, the conflict, uh, conflict section of, uh, the poetry side.
	Because I remember back in my own secondary school during English Literature, we learnt about Wilfred Owen.
	Mm.
	His poem's been taken out now.
	So they took out... Why was that?
	A Poison Tree by William Blake, The Man He Killed by Thomas Hardy, Punishment by Seamus Heaney, Phrasebook by Joe Shapcott, and Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen, which is one of the ones that I studied.
	But there are loads of... classic poets in there.
	Yes, but you need to make room.
	It is a zero-sum game when you're working with limited time.
	You'll be reading Tupac today, kids.
	Close enough.
	Replacing them is Lewis Bennett's Colonization in Reverse.
	Actual propaganda telling young English kids that you deserve to be replaced.
	That's what that is.
	Literally, it's called colonization in reverse.
	And as schoolchildren, they'll have the teachers telling them what a good and wonderful thing that is happening, and they'll be using it in the sort of, um...
	What's that French guy's name?
	No, he wasn't French, he was Brazilian or something.
	Paulo Freire, the pedagogy sense.
	They'll be using that as an opportunity to open up the conversation to the sins of imperialism and why it's actually a good thing that little Timmy is being replaced by Mbungu sat next to him.
	They've also got Ilya Kaminsky's Fall...
	Fantasy of the Fall of America in We Lived Happily During the War, Parable of Police Racial Profile in Caleb Femi's Thirteen, and Francis E.W. Harper's Songs for the People, which is all just race propaganda for race... gay race communists.
	I ain't never heard of 'em.
	So they get... they try and get them as soon as... as soon as they can, as when they're as young as possible.
	That's one of the ways that they start to try and get kids to hate themselves for the colour of their skin, as long as you are white.
	As long as you are one of the many ethnic groups of the white race, specifically for here, English.
	Although this goes on everywhere else as well.
	Interestingly as well, you get lots of things, even from the past, the new ideology being imposed upon old media, like in this which came out just the other day.
	That one of the stars of Friends, which was always a rubbish show, let's be perfectly honest.
	That's gonna get some pushback.
	It was terrible.
	Adam Goldberg slamming the show for its insane lack of diversity.
	Can you believe an all-white friendship group in New York in the 90s?
	I mean, that probably still goes on now.
	Probably increasingly so, in fact.
	Yeah.
	So you get in the schools, you get told that you don't have room for your culture's stories anymore, you have to move aside for the new culture's stories.
	The old culture's stories, even as recent as 30 years ago, are no longer fit for purpose because they don't fit into the new woke ideology.
	And then you start to see articles like this.
	From The Guardian, self-reporting, saying, we each have a Nazi in us, we need to understand the psychological roots of authoritarianism.
	By a top-down erasure of the native culture.
	Yes, yes, because neuroimaging studies, and we've covered this before, have shown that the amygdala, the tiny almond-shaped brain structure that mediates fear, it's actually more to do with risk management, is larger in people with more right-wing views.
	Yes, because you're more aware of risks around you and better able to plan for them.
	Well, that's not necessarily a negative thing, either.
	There could be more risks.
	I mean, being a dumb-dumb brain left-winger who doesn't see any risk in anything and walks down the wrong street and gets mugged and stabbed and killed.
	Like has happened to a shocking amount of left-wing journalists.
	Yes.
	That's not a good thing for them, not being able to perceive risk.
	And actually, being able to perceive risk is one of the most important aspects of survival in an organism, be it human or not, so it's a silly argument to make.
	Equally, being more risk-averse makes you more likely to do things like not gamble away your money and be more responsible and find a more stable, sustainable income stream.
	Which explains why leftists have such excellent lifestyles and judgement.
	And this article actually is quite interesting because it goes right to the foundations of a lot of the anti-white hatred that gets banded about these days, which is that it refers straight back to a Frankfurt School social psychologist, Eric Fromm.
	And a lot of this really does come from the Frankfurt School.
	I know it's a bit of a meme, James Lindsay, and people speak about them, but I don't think that they highlight the particularly bad parts of the Frankfurt School ideology that they developed and promoted.
	in conjunction with, you know, the U.S.
	government, which is... thanks for that, Uncle Sam.
	It starts by saying, "...any attempt to understand the attraction which fascism exercises upon great nations compels us to recognize the role of psychological factors," according to Eric Fromm, German-Jewish social psychologist, and he said that in 1941.
	Such factors are not specifically German or, say, Italian, nor were they manifestations of a unique historical era, now safely in the distant past.
	Not only can the malignant political, economic, ideological climates- whoever wrote this particular article, who is it?
	Gerber Matt really wanted to make sure you knew they were smart in this first paragraph.
	So you're just evil, white man.
	It's deep inside your brain.
	You can't help it.
	You can't fix it.
	Evil is just there inherently as a result of your psychology.
	Not in anybody else, just the white people though.
	Because you've got a malfunctioning amygdala because it actually works.
	So therefore we've got to replace you.
	sorry bye bye we each have a nazi within according to auschwitz survivor edith eager that's a strange thing for an auschwitz survivor to say That's why I laughed.
	It's just like, yes, sometimes I was in the camp, sometimes I was a guard.
	Yeah, that's just absurd on the face of it.
	Not to diminish what she must have gone through, but good God.
	Pointing, in the authors of this article's observation, to a near-universal reality.
	Okay.
	Many of us harbour the seeds for hatred, rage, fear, narcissistic self-regard and contempt for others that, in their most venomous and extreme forms, are the dominant emotional currents whose confluence can all feed the destructive torrent that we call fascism.
	Given enough provocation or encouragement, that's right, if you're afraid of things or have any of these negative personal qualities, you too will come up with a specific anti-communist Italian political philosophy.
	You too will get involved in trade unions who are the root of your power base.
	You too might end up reading Giovanni Gentili and wonder what the hell is he talking about?
	But also the silly thing is they're taking statistical generalizations and suggesting that because the method of data collection suggests the general trend that this is true of everyone.
	Actually no, there are plenty of people that are disposed Not to have these things, and people can be born with dispositions that are not like that.
	You know, you only need to look at animals, like dogs for example.
	Dogs, you can argue, don't necessarily have the same level of socialization as most people.
	That's an important caveat.
	But they have different temperaments and personalities, even though they could be raised in the same environment, like a single litter, for example.
	They've got similar genes, similar environment, yet there's still some variations.
	And you can only really attribute that to variations in their genes, because they're not all identical.
	And that affects their personality, and therefore this gets lost, that actually people might not be as similar, funnily enough, as they're making out.
	But they do point out here that environment does also play a factor, which it absolutely does.
	Of course, yeah.
	And so what do you need to do if these people- if everybody has the potential to be an evil Adolf Hitler, what do you do?
	Well, the easiest thing to point out here is that you do whatever we were doing before the 20th century for thousands and thousands of years of human civilization.
	No, no, because according to these people, the results of the 20th century in terms of Adolf Hitler was that it was a violent, evil, white, nationalist pushback against the universally good, progressive future that we were heading into.
	The Soviet Union?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	So they say, nobody is born with rabid hatred, untrammeled rage, existential fear, or cold contempt permanently embedded in their minds or hearts.
	Permanently doing a lot of lifting there.
	What they're saying is, you are born with it, but we could socially engineer it out of you.
	These fulminant emotions, when chronic, are responses to unbearable suffering endured at a time of utmost vulnerability, helplessness, and unrelieved threat.
	That is, in early childhood.
	So, what they're saying here is, you could turn into a Nazi if you are, say, raised to be slightly more socially conservative by your parents.
	So we need to socially engineer you out of that as early as possible in the schools, and preferably, get you out of your parents' hands as early as possible as well.
	Thank you.
	So that's why they aim all of this stuff at the kids, and it's interesting that this is the entire stated, overtly and explicitly stated ideological reason for why they do this.
	If we don't turn- if we don't trans your kids, if we don't make them hate themselves, if we don't tell them that all of the history of their ancestors, their race, and their culture are evil, they might turn into Adolf Hitler.
	Do you really believe that?
	Do you think that that is true?
	Do you think that a normal child, just without any intervention by the state or those external factors, is automatically going to turn into a genocidal maniac?
	No.
	No, of course not.
	They even say American psychologist Michael Milburn has studied the childhood antecedents of right-wing ideological rigidity.
	His research confirms that the harsher the parenting atmosphere... Research can't confirm things.
	It suggests or supports a hypothesis.
	You cannot confirm things with just, you know, one man's research, you moron.
	With your own sociological background and psychological background.
	Yeah, I can understand how this pisses you off, but they say his research suggests that the harsher the parenting atmosphere people were exposed to as young children, the more prone they are to support authoritarian or aggressive policies such as foreign wars, punitive laws, and the death penalty.
	So basically what they're saying is the less boundaries you have in your childhood, the more left-wing you'll be.
	If we take you away from your parents, then you'll be more left-wing, and that's a good thing.
	And this actually refers back, uh, echoes back to the work of the Frankfurt School, uh, particularly Adorno with the authoritarian personality, where the studies that he did, the psychological interviews that he conducted, and along with some of the others... We talked about this on the website, didn't we?
	Yes, we have spoken about this on the website.
	Basically said that, well, if they had a positive view of their childhood, that means they were more authoritarian.
	He basically flipped all of the interviews on their head.
	If they had respect for their parents, if they had a stable childhood, if there were boundaries and authority that was respected, this was a sign of emotional instability and fascism.
	Whereas if you had the opposite, that was a sign of emotional stability and independence.
	I'm a living rebuttal of this.
	I had a, in my opinion, a very very good childhood and I'm very grateful to my parents for being very responsible and, you know, making me very well behaved as a child.
	And I'm very anti-authoritarian.
	I, you know, I really dislike government overreach.
	So how can I have this very rigid, structured, um, childhood that I'm also fond of and think was good, and also be very anti-authoritarian?
	Surely that disproves all of this.
	No, it was confirmed, so.
	Sorry, Josh.
	Oh, it was, it was confirmed, yeah.
	You're just the exception that proves the rule.
	That must be it.
	But this is what's, um, what's forced on children from a very, very young age and has been for decades now.
	Remember, the Frankfurt School and their work with the American government and other governments was done back in the 40s and 50s.
	This has been the prevailing ideology.
	This has been the prevailing idea of government.
	The idea of government in the West for decades has been make sure white people hate themselves to prevent Hitler.
	That's what happened with the German experiments where they were giving fostered children over to paedophiles in the hopes that the sexually liberated upbringing that would give them would prevent them from being Hitler because it's all about repression and expression.
	So what does this lead to in the modern day and age?
	Well, it can manifest itself in funny ways.
	I'm not going to lie.
	The author of White Fragility, Robin DiAngelo, you know that woman, who said that she's really really racist deep down and that's why she needs to be an anti-racist, was tricked by Matt Walsh in his new film Am I Racist into paying reparations to Matt Walsh's producer.
	Who is a black guy.
	It was hilarious, I've seen the video of it.
	He gives him money in front of her and then she's like, oh I don't have any money on me and then she gets up and goes to her bag off camera.
	Gives him $30.
	I mean that's quite nice of him.
	I mean, I like the argument that Walsh did was the argument that she would say, which is, you know, Oh, I know this, this feels weird, but we need to be comfortable in being uncomfortable.
	So he threw her own language back at her and she's so retarded that she fell for it and gave him the money, you know?
	So this is where Matt Walsh is truly at his best doing stuff like this.
	Oh yeah, you know, people have criticised the idea of the film for saying, oh it's so unserious, we've got to take these people seriously.
	No we don't, we can have a laugh at their expense.
	I think actually treating their ideology as not serious is a good thing, but treating the implications of how it is implemented in our society seriously is actually very important.
	So you can make the distinction between the two.
	Because it does also manifest itself in really awful and horrible ways, which is like the example I'm bringing up here, which is in Springfield, Ohio last year, a boy called Aiden Clark was killed in a crash that we referenced in the last segment, where an unlicensed migrant, Hermanio Joseph,
	Struck a school bus when he was driving in a van, in a minivan, and injured more than 20 students, and Aidan Clarke himself was killed, according to this article.
	This was at the point where a lot of the people's community, uh, people in the community, their attitude changed towards these.
	And of course he's been used as a name by J.D.
	Vance, Donald Trump, others as saying this is what Kamala Harris's policies are going to bring to your community because if you're wondering how could we have avoided this, just don't have the Haitian migrants driving unlicensed in your town.
	Why should they be there in the very first place?
	Here's what the father had to say.
	I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man.
	I bet you never thought anyone would ever say something so blunt.
	But if that guy killed my 11-year-old son, the incessant group of hate-spewing people would leave us alone.
	Yeah, obviously it's terrible what happened to his son.
	I'm very sorry for him.
	But at the same time, you have been so brainwashed that what's more pressing to you right now is not that this was a completely avoidable problem, that decisions were made, policy decisions were made that led to the person being in your community who ended up killing your son No, what actually matters is the racism that's being spewed at the other end of it.
	People saying, hey, isn't it terrible that a Haitian killed?
	No, no, I would have preferred if it was a 60-year-old white man.
	Well, too bad it wasn't.
	It wasn't.
	And I'm sorry you are spitting on the memory of your son, and you are also denying the actual problems that are happening in the rest of Springfield if you come out and say, oh, wouldn't it have been better It's a very weird thing to say, isn't it?
	It's terrible.
	I don't want to use his son's grave to dance on.
	And I don't want other people to either, because obviously what he and his wife went through is terrible.
	But this is disgusting.
	This is disgusting.
	You as the father have at least a responsibility.
	A responsibility to protect your child.
	You couldn't do that in that circumstance.
	That's not your fault.
	But you have a responsibility after it to make sure it doesn't happen again.
	And you're not doing that.
	So this is the result of the cult of self-hatred.
	That people would rather wish, in a fantasy land, that imaginary events happened, instead of acknowledging the problems that exist in our society today.
	These people have been brainwashed.
	I don't think there's any helping them.
	But you and I can move past the programming, move past the brainwashing, and maybe enact some change in the future.
	So I've realised I've missed out a link and it will make me look very bad if I don't include it in my segment.
	I'm going to send you a link Samson, can you put it in after the video please?
	Of course.
	I've realised that I've asked someone to give me a video on their perspective and I forgot to include a link to their channel and I feel really, really guilty about it.
	That's alright, while you're getting that up I'm going to read through the Rumble Rants.
	Oh, thank you.
	Oh, excuse me.
	Yeah, quick burp.
	Always gotta get one in.
	The last Russian for $2 says my brother's secondary school became an anti-racist school after St.
	Fentanyl died.
	One third of the English curriculum was replaced by, paraphrasing, unread books by diverse authors.
	They're all drivel.
	Yeah, whenever they complain about how few people read these books, it's because they're shit.
	That's generally the reason why.
	If they were worth reading, someone would have read them.
	Keith Kaiser, $5.
	I remember when I was in school and they replaced classics like Animal Farm for an exact opposite in Inspector Calls, which I never had to read.
	I hated that book.
	We were taught that capitalism is bad and socialism good.
	Disgusting.
	Well the person who wrote Inspector Calls, what JB Priestley, was a socialist weren't they?
	And also the moral of the story is that a pregnant woman, a pregnant single mother, has an illegitimate child with one of the family that owns the factory and she tried to extort them for money, fails, gets fired for it and then drinks bleach and dies and then the inspector blames the family for this.
	All of the family.
	That's terrible.
	Yes, I was just like... Get another job, you dumb bitch.
	In its own world that has been built, that's terrible storytelling, terrible character writing.
	He is the worst inspector I've ever heard of if he blames the family.
	I remember saying this at the time when I was in my English class.
	Just like, no, I don't feel bad for her.
	In fact, I'm annoyed.
	She killed a baby and tried to extort the family.
	She's done everything wrong she could have.
	Basically victim-blaming?
	They were the victims of extortion?
	So, yeah, that's- Well, extortion is- What he did wasn't a crime, what she did was a crime as well, which is interesting.
	Disgusting morality being taught to children again.
	The last Russian for two dollars, some more.
	Yesterday my brother texted me.
	His English teacher asked the class about favorite conspiracy theories.
	Teacher then mentioned pets being eaten in Ohio and laughed at it.
	Such baloney.
	I hate teachers.
	I hate teachers.
	TheEngagedFew for $5 says, is blunt the way they say vile and unfatherly in Ohio?
	Perhaps.
	Perhaps it's the Haitian that's been brought over there.
	BaldEagle1787 for $2, the side that says we need to trust the science.
	Sure do trust a lot of pseudoscience.
	There's more along the lines of being fetishes than actual science.
	Don't worry about the extra chats earlier.
	Well, thank you very much.
	And not just a string for $3 says, I wish all the illegal immigrants were 60-year-old white men, would have a lot less problems, and only have to deal with incessant dad jokes.
	Yeah, sorry, if the guy, if you wish the guy who ran over you, well, who killed your son was a 60-year-old white guy, your son would still be alive.
	If he had been.
	Anyway.
	Thanks for the chats.
	Okay. - Okay.
	India, obviously a wild and crazy place and lots of interesting things are happening and one of them is racist cow gangs going around causing problems.
	I don't want to spoil it quite yet.
	Racist what gangs?
	What's racist about them?
	You'll see.
	You've got to watch this segment first, Harry, otherwise... But I'm in this segment!
	You are, and you've got to watch it.
	Alright, okay.
	So, the first thing I wanted to look at is this is the Indian government bulldozing 11 people's homes because they found beef in their fridge.
	So they're just like, you have beef in your fridge.
	India's a huge country.
	And they found beef in the fridge.
	And they tracked- is there a special beef inspector?
	Does he go around checking, like- The meat man's around.
	Like the Stasi or something, are you hiding beef in your cellar?
	So, yes, except he's got a little head bob while he does it.
	Yes, of course.
	So, they demolished their houses for eating beef, which is interesting, isn't it?
	It suggests that the Hindu majority there are perhaps willing to persecute people for their beliefs, as is the case in all countries where a certain religion is a majority.
	And I made a meme, well, with the help of Alistair, one of our editors.
	Oh, you did the...
	You're hiding cows under your floorboards, are you not?
	I mean, if it was just cows, that'd be fine, wouldn't it?
	That's true actually, yeah.
	Because they're worshipping them.
	It should have been beef, really.
	I did a terrible job at memes, I'm sorry.
	I will dispatch myself at the end of this podcast.
	This is the Japanese version.
	And talking of things that, you know, are forbidden in India, Islander Magazine... It's not actually.
	I was going to say, I don't think it is.
	it's not yet banned in india um this is now available uh obviously the first edition was a massive success it was a great thing everyone said it was wonderful it's the it's bigly it's the best it's the best thing that's ever come out of the united kingdom tremendous yes and there is another version that that first version now gone second version limited supply get them while you can some say even nicer than the first one i That is true.
	It's a lovely cover, isn't it?
	Some lovely articles in there, lots of big names.
	And also us.
	Yes, us.
	You've got Stefan Molyneux, ROREC Nationalist, Nima Parvini, Carl Benjamin.
	You might have heard of him.
	Stephen Molyneux's article about eggs?
	Because it should be.
	It should be, yes.
	But also we're selling t-shirts with some stuff on.
	There they are.
	Islander merch.
	That's limited as well.
	And a mug.
	So get it while you can because it's not going to be there forever.
	And it looks cool.
	And Harry really wants that metal t-shirt.
	Why hasn't anybody got one for him?
	Buy them out so Harry suffers.
	Why did you sound like Voldemort in the Harry Potter films?
	What's going on, Harry?
	Are you Ralph Fiennes under there?
	Carry on, don't find the zip on the back of my neck.
	So, the New York Times has picked up on this recently, these cow vigilantes.
	These are not necessarily agents of the state, these are just honest Indian men out to bring justice.
	They're Indian batmen.
	They're cows.
	Justice for cows.
	Punishing cows.
	The opposite.
	So, they have India's Muslims on edge, as they're saying.
	As I mentioned, you know, they suspect people who are not Hindus of mistreating cows because it's only Hindus that believe treating cows is a, you know, a sacred right.
	And there is a cow in India, there you go.
	They exist.
	Fucking boys, you're coming with us!
	And, uh, they've also been accused of just generally attacking minorities in a racist fashion.
	And, uh, this has been going on for some time.
	Is this a caste thing as well, then?
	I don't know.
	I've not looked into the caste side of things.
	It's just a Hindu thing, I think.
	So, look at this.
	This is a Bollywood movie waiting to happen.
	Where are the statues?
	That is an actual picture that the BBC have used from 2015.
	He's got an axe.
	He's got a polearm.
	He's got a poleaxe.
	On a moped.
	Well, on a bike, really, isn't it?
	And I don't know what he's got there.
	It looks like a katana.
	This is like... This is like a film.
	But this article's from 2019, so this isn't a recent phenomenon.
	And, in fact, this has... This is cow-related violence.
	We've got geo-locations of... These are all the cow-related incidents from 2012 to 2019.
	And it's taking India by storm.
	Particularly northern India, you can see here.
	Yeah.
	It's less common in the south here, but particularly up there, I can't read it because of the text, but near Punjab, it looks like it says hairy, but I think... Harry something.
	The Harry province.
	It's nothing to do with me.
	Harry, why are you... What are you doing to cows?
	I'm eating them, Josh.
	I admit it.
	I eat beef.
	I've got beef with cows as well.
	But yes, There was this article from May of last year which I've actually mentioned on the podcast before and in this there were three Muslim men in a car with a cow.
	Maybe they should eat more cow because look at how twiggy that man's arms are.
	They had a cow in the back seat.
	You know, three men, probably two in the front, one in the back with a cow.
	And they were driving along, minding their own business, as you do of course.
	You ever taken your cow for a walk?
	Or a drive?
	Every day.
	I take my cow for a drive, but a van crashed into them, cowing the car and everything, and a bunch of Hindu vigilantes spilled out and tore out the Muslim men and beat them all, and one of them were beaten so badly he later died.
	It's a genuinely horrible story where they beat innocent men.
	They might have had a cow in the car, but I don't think that's a reason to die.
	You're a mean man, Harry.
	I don't think India's real.
	So, recently, around the 18th of August, a cattle smuggling gang was bussed and they rescued 57 cows, which is a heroic story.
	This is actually a good thing.
	By the way, Harry, I know you support the cow gangs and everything, but I very much support them cracking down on cattle rustling, but this kickstarted something that has really spun out of control.
	Here, Muslim youth thrown into pond and killed by cattle protection squad.
	So this is a very interesting thing because I'm going to read from the article and I'm going to ask you what you think of this.
	24 year old Muslim youth Wasim Qureshimonu was allegedly thrown into a pond by cattle protection squads of Uttarakhand police according to accusations made by his family and locals.
	Police said the six-member cattle protection squad was patrolling the area based on information about cow slaughter.
	Police also claimed when they asked Wasim to stop his scooter he accelerated and jumped into the pond to escape.
	However local villagers and family members called it a police killing.
	So the police are in league with the cattle protection gangs.
	The Hindus, I believe, you know, majority... They're an extra legal service.
	Family members said Waseem, a gym trainer by profession, had come to Madhopur to visit his sister.
	They said he was on his way home that night denying the cow slaughter allegations.
	So yeah, it probably is likely that he wasn't involved because a lot of these incidents involve people just minding their own business.
	And then the mad cow vigilantes- The mad cow vigilantes frothing at the mouth for cow-based justice.
	You could be minding your own business, driving your cow in the backseat, and Hindus come out of nowhere, crash into your car, and liberate the cow while beating you to death.
	Or throwing you in a pond.
	India's not real.
	I know.
	I figured out that where the subcontinent is actually there's nothing.
	It's just a big extra bit of sea.
	So this story was ten days after that previous one where they rescued the cows.
	This one was only three days after.
	So this one, I'm going to read this one.
	Sabir Malik, a labourer from West Bengal, was allegedly beaten to death by members of a cow vigilante group in the Charkhi Dadri district, I'm really butchering that, on the 27th of August.
	The group suspected Malik of consuming beef They suspected him of eating beef.
	How do you prove that?
	They smelled his breath.
	Yeah, your breath smelled like cheeseburger.
	Sorry, you've got to die.
	Maybe they suspected that other guy because he worked in a gym as a trainer.
	Maybe he was really buff and all these soy Indians... And if this was the guy... Yeah, he's quite a bit more chad and well-built than most of the... You've seen Indians in the gym.
	They tend to go for the... They compete with the women in the gym for the weights, don't they, you know?
	Yeah, the women win.
	They may have seen, you're very muscly, you must be eating beef.
	No, I don't actually think that's what's going on.
	And you can get whey protein powder.
	I don't know if you can get it in India.
	I'm sure you probably can.
	But you can also get beef protein powder.
	That was the problem.
	Bovril.
	So, yes, they suspected him of consuming beef, which is considered a serious crime under local cow protection laws.
	Serious enough to kill someone over it, apparently.
	Apparently so.
	Malik, a rag picker near Bandra village, was reportedly lured to a shop on the pretext of selling empty plastic bottles before being attacked.
	That's the most Indian sentence I've ever read.
	I pick rags, you know, it's not much, but it's honest work.
	We tempted this rag picker with a better gig of picking up plastic bottles.
	And selling them.
	Yes.
	And you've got to have some great charisma to sell somebody an empty plastic bottle.
	I imagine they're probably used either for energy or recycling.
	And apparently a bystander intervened and then the accused Malik took to another location and they beat him again leading to his death.
	And apparently five men and two juveniles were arrested for this.
	And then another one here.
	This was the 3rd of September.
	Vigilantes were allegedly searching for cattle smugglers when they chased Aryan Mishra, of no relation I imagine to the people of Europe, for about 18 miles before opening fire.
	Mishra and his friends, Harshit, pronounced how you think it is, and Shanky,
	Harshit and Shanky, his mates, which sound like Dickensian villains, were in a Renault Duster car, which the cow protection people were told were involved in cattle smuggling, when they were stopped by the vigilantes and the occupants of the car had said to have a prior dispute with another individual and mistook the cow vigilantes for their rivals, so there's some sort of beef going on here, and they sped away.
	And the vigilantes, convinced that the occupants were cattle smugglers because they drove away, chased the car and then opened fire on it with a firearm, killing Mishra.
	When the car stopped, the attackers fired another shot to finish him off, resulting in his death.
	So they're just going around killing random people, which is obviously awful, based on the suspicion that they're smuggling cows or eating beef.
	And there might be some kind of gang turf war going on at the same time?
	It's just mad, isn't it?
	It's also worth mentioning... What if some cows get caught in the crossfire?
	What then?
	The cow in the room as well is that these pro-cow policies aren't actually helping the cows and so I've actually asked David Rams who I had a debate with.
	He's an animal rights activist and a vegan but he's a lovely guy.
	When I debated him he brought in chocolate for everyone in the office.
	Very polite and and everything so don't have a go at him i trust his judgment on this oh yes i remember this chap he was very friendly yeah and he actually has worked in india um looking at this sort of thing and so has direct experience and i asked him to give us a comment about these cow protection gangs so here is what he said So I spent around 12 months in India documenting the situation with farms and slaughterhouses in the country when I was working for an animal rights organization.
	What I found over there was that there was a lot of hypocrisy with these Hindu cow protection groups.
	So these Hindu groups will claim that they're protecting cows because they worship them and see them as deities, but that doesn't really look like the case to me.
	In some states where cow slaughter is illegal, where they've succeeded in the politics there and made it illegal, it doesn't stop the suffering of these cows.
	The dairy farmers who are often Hindus and breed cows en masse for the dairy industry to get the milk and make profit from them, they can't kill any unprofitable cows.
	So what they do instead is they just leave them to starve and die of malnutrition and disease.
	They do this to the male calves because they're useless to them, and they do this to the older female cows when they stop producing as much milk.
	They just neglect them and leave them to fend for themselves.
	Often they die of, as I said, starvation and disease.
	Now, cow hospitals do exist in these states to help these cows, and this is volunteers that work to help the abandoned cows, but Euthanasia is banned because that's also killing and killing cows is banned in these states due to the religious reasons.
	So these cows that can't be brought back from their sickness, they're left just to lie there and die slow painful deaths.
	I've actually seen hundreds of cows in that exact position.
	The same people fighting to protect cows, in reality I don't think they're protecting cows at all.
	I think actually they're just exploiting them for profit and religious sentiments.
	I think if they really wanted to help cows, the Hindus and the protection groups in the country, I think if they really wanted to protect cows, they would just stop breeding them en masse.
	Which seems like a very, very reasonable position in my opinion.
	That was really interesting, thank you very much.
	Yeah, thank you David for that.
	I didn't say I was going to do this, but here is his channel if you're interested, if you appreciated what he had to say.
	I certainly did.
	So that's an inside perspective.
	So they're not even helping the cows, they're going out and tyrannising people and killing innocent people for no good reason.
	Yeah it's a form of mania like religious zealotry gone to the nth degree where they're going out and just attacking people on this suspicion that they might have eaten beef and killing them which is obviously not good and it's also worth mentioning as well that one thing I did find out while I was doing my research on the impact on the cows themselves In addition to what David said was that the cows also consume a lot of plastic but I'm not sure if you've seen many pictures of India.
	It's not a tidy place.
	There's a lot of rubbish everywhere.
	I've seen a lot of people playing a new game for basically like GeoGuessr where you get Google Maps up with Street View and you put Street View down anywhere in India and you win a prize if it's not completely covered in rubbish.
	No one's won a prize so far.
	Apparently cows come into these hospitals when they eventually do get there, if they do at all, with kilograms worth of plastic in their stomachs.
	Because it's just everywhere.
	And so, yeah.
	India is not a hospitable place for cows, I don't think.
	So I just wanted to go quickfire over some stuff I have covered before, but just some weird intricacies of this Hindu cow worship.
	India said that you should hug a cow on Valentine's Day, and here is a letter from the Indian, the Welfare Board of India, saying celebrate Cow Hug Day on the 14th of February.
	We all know that the cow is the backbone of Indian culture.
	And rural economy sustains our life.
	Represent cattle wealth and biodiversity it is known blah blah blah blah blah You get the idea.
	It's a strange thing to suggest.
	Okay.
	I mean, I like cows too.
	I do like cows.
	Yeah You know, there's always been plenty of cow fields near where I grow up.
	They're friendly enough.
	They're quite endearing aren't they?
	Yeah, but if they all get the they can all give you the side eye at the same time and the entire herd starts approaching you that can be a pretty worrying feeling.
	But you know growing up in Devon I've cut across many a cow field and they've never given me any grief Even one or two bullfields, which was a bit scary.
	Yeah, you can still pet the cows as you're going past.
	They're very friendly.
	Yeah, I mean, I've even milked a cow before.
	I've not gone that far.
	You'll get there one day, Harry.
	Oh, thanks.
	And yes, there's also this prolific article, U.S.
	Customs want Indians to stop carrying cow dung in their luggage, which is a very weird thing that U.S.
	Customs have to say.
	Well, this is the weird thing that I've seen as well, is that they don't just love the cow, they love every part of the cow, including the dung.
	And the urine.
	I've seen videos of Indians washing themselves in cow urine and selling it as a thing to be consumed.
	And they're selling it as perfume.
	Very strange.
	There's also this.
	Indian village marks end of Diwali with massive cow poo fight.
	There they are.
	Look at how happy that chap is.
	Cleanest men in India there.
	And finally, I remember showing this to Callum, peace be upon him, the use of cow dung and urine to cure Covid-19 in India.
	And there is of course the story, which I think I must have forgotten to include, of a man who got struck by lightning and they buried him in cow poo to cure his wounds and he died of suffocation.
	And remember, lots of people point out that lots of doctors and medical professionals in Britain are from India.
	So, uh, you know.
	I liked... we have... we get the good ones, right?
	I hope so.
	Yeah, you hope so.
	Great.
	I've never been buried in cow dung in the NHS before.
	Not yet, anyway.
	Although their service is comparable.
	So yes, this is a weird aspect of Indian culture.
	I thought I would sort of highlight this, I suppose, to teach you about the world outside of the Anglosphere, as well as to point out that this sort of weird religious zealotry isn't even good for the cause that they're trying to promote, that is the cows, and that the cows are suffering from them also going out and just baselessly murdering people.
	And the moral of the story is, India is strange.
	Alright, let's go on to the last Rumble Rants, and then we'll go through the video comments.
	OPHUK, almost caught me out there, for $2 says, The police have put Detective Yuen Gulat in charge of the investigation.
	He will be aided by Inspector Moosia.
	The entire operation has been blessed by the Grand Hoofty of Bowvinbad.
	Budum Ching.
	That is clearly a father commenting there.
	Yep.
	Glee777 for $10 says, wait till the cow vigilantes find out the car seats are made from leather.
	They'll be hell to pay.
	Shadowband for $2.
	What do you call a cow that can't moo?
	A milk dud?
	And then the shadow banned again, why did the cow become an astronaut?
	because he wanted to see the Milky Way.
	Bobobad, for $5, says...
	Poo-poo-padoo.
	Samson's pre-sing in the other room.
	Creasing?
	Laughing.
	Poo Poo Padoo, local Indian dirt washer, was entrapped and killed by cattle gangs when they lured him with the promise of broken Christmas ornaments.
	India superpower by 2030.
	I appreciate that comment.
	Thank you.
	And we've got another one just come in.
	The last Russian.
	On the topic of Indian doctors, enjoy this AI masterpiece I found somewhere.
	Not OCR.
	Alright.
	That was for $2.
	I've got to.
	Get up the screen again for me, Samson, please.
	Okay, let's get this up here.
	Bear with, gentlemen.
	Here we go.
	This is from Russian garbage human.
	Oh dear.
	Now the outrage from people all across the country after a doctor was convicted of raping a patient.
	He grabbed the bottom of my bra with both hands and ripped it up above my breast.
	and started fondling my brasset.
	Good morning, ma'am.
	My name is Dr. Manpik Patel from Mootelli.
	I'm not a real doctor.
	I have a bank degree.
	I bought it for $1,000.
	We're not going to sit for a little two minutes.
	It says here that I graduate.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I'm going to leave that there.
	Let's get on to the video comments.
	Thank you.
	I've already tortured the audience enough today.
	You're welcome.
	You want white pills, you've got a brown pill instead.
	Smear pill.
	I'd like to object to a point raised in the Churchill roundtable.
	Primarily that of Chamberlain's appeasements buying necessary time to fight an inevitable Second World War.
	While that is functionally what happened, the war was not inevitable, nor was that Chamberlain's intent.
	Hitler's grasp on power internally was very tenuous.
	Had any force even been threatened against him, this whole thing could have been nipped in the bud, and the continental socialist flame would have burned itself out from within.
	If you actually read Churchill's speeches at the time, with hindsight, we can now see them as a very prescient recounting of continental affairs.
	You can accuse Churchill of being many things, but an irrational warmonger is not one of them.
	We would have done well to have listened.
	That's a perfectly reasonable comment, thank you very much.
	That is reasonable, and again, with the Chamberlain thing, I do think it's interesting that it seems that a lot of pushing came from FDR behind the scenes, because he was like, wait, if we get rid of Hitler right now, then there won't be war, and the US won't be able to step into that war, and when everybody's weakened, take over Europe, essentially.
	Also, the chat is correct, that engine sounds great.
	I don't know anything about the subject, but I find it fascinating.
	Just turn this into a gun channel.
	This comment is suggesting Josh to read the poem Grandpa's Lesson by an author who I didn't read out and The Young British Soldier by Rudyard Kipling.
	I've already read the Young British Soldier one before.
	Yeah, Kipling's always worth reading.
	Yeah, I remember seeing a copy of Kipling's collected works from the 30s and it had a swastika on the spine.
	But that's the Hindu version rather than...
	Yes, it was not angled like the National Socialist one.
	I've got them written down here.
	I've seen those as well, because I've got... I've not got, but there's in Cirencester, an old antique shop that had a load of Kipling's old stuff, and they had the Jungle Book with the SWAT sticker on it as well.
	Ironically enough, it was not just a Nazi symbol, it's an ancient Indo-European and Indo-Aryan symbol that's existed for who knows how long.
	I remember going to Prague and there was a demonstration from the Falun Gong, which are a persecuted religious minority in China, and they use the swastika for their religion.
	Yeah, it's a big culture shock coming from the West, given that we only associate it with one thing.
	There were loads of Czech people taking pictures just laughing and pointing at us.
	Because of course they were occupied by them, so they're not the biggest fans.
	Have we got any more, Samson?
	Oh, wonderful.
	Let's go through the written comments, so.
	Sure.
	Uh, Hugh, uh, Hugh Kenneth Benneau said, TV advertising would be so much better if the Lotus Light Eaters lads were the ones exclusively doing the advertisements.
	You don't want that.
	You don't want- Nothing would be sold ever, would it?
	If you want good advertisements, then if we were having to film them in block, by the time I get three or four through, I'm gonna be tired.
	I'm gonna be grouchy.
	I'm not gonna- Hangry Harry.
	You're gonna be selling period pants by the end of the day.
	Oh, no.
	Let's read through some of your comments Josh.
	I've disgusted you already.
	Harry's already getting hungry.
	Now he's finished his coffee.
	I am actually getting quite hungry now.
	He's been burped.
	He's been fed.
	Now he's getting sleepy.
	We'll put him back in his quat soon.
	Oh, could we please?
	I'll do it with a nap.
	Someone online says this hasn't just started with the Haitians, you know, migrants ate our town's swans.
	I don't know why I laugh.
	That's awful.
	It is awful.
	That's awful.
	And stole their babies!
	It reminded me of Hot Fuzz.
	That is really horrible.
	That's awful.
	They got slapped on the wrist because of New York, and now because swans mate for life, the other swan that's left is literally a depressed widow.
	Okay, now I'm really sad.
	That's horrible.
	It is horrible.
	Thanks for the depression, someone online.
	New York police need to get on this like the Sanford police.
	Payless son of Jacob, interesting name.
	My dad grew up in San Francisco in the 1960s, lucky him, and said that the birds all seem to avoid Chinatown.
	I don't get why it's so hard to believe that different cultures could have different dietary preferences.
	That's a weird thing to notice and just like walking around San Francisco just like why are there never any birds in Chinatown?
	Yeah but you begin to notice things if you've been somewhere long enough and you know it well enough you begin to notice those things.
	I've noticed about Swinton why are there more human uh piles of excrement around the areas where certain people live?
	Anyway uh Baron Von War Turkey the consumption of geese and cats hit a raw nerve subconsciously If a migrant can walk in and eat a pet without consequences then it shows that they have no impulse control, no respect for the community as pets are often seen as members of the family and worst of all no limits to what they will do in the future.
	This makes the Haitians extremely dangerous.
	Of course the Haitians are extremely dangerous.
	They're from Haiti.
	They're Haitian.
	As that lady said in that video that we got sent, you know, it's one of the most deprived places in the western world, right, or the hemisphere, and so it's dangerous.
	Are we all right to overrun a little bit, Samson?
	That's a no.
	Okay, he says no.
	Samson says no.
	I'll read some of mine, but first I'll read one from yours.
	Adorable kitten still hiding from free-range Haitian barbecue makers says, I can't wait until there are news articles coming out about how eating the family pet is a good thing actually.
	It's coming.
	It will happen.
	So, for my segment, Derek Power is worth pointing out that The Bard's plays has been one of the malleable plays ever.
	Think of all the different types of performances done, whether it's updating the time or changing the location or even swapping characters around.
	If there's any author that best demonstrates true diversity, it's Shakespeare, but alas, he was not a black, gender-fluid lesbian sitting in a wheelchair.
