Time Text
Hello, beautiful people.
Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters.
Today is, what day is it?
Wednesday.
Yeah, the 22nd of January.
What year is it?
Of 2025. Right, and this is episode 1084. I'm your host, Brother Stelios, and I'm joined by Brother Josh and Brother Harry.
And we're going to discuss the end of woke, how Trump's victory has scared the WEF and the government's response to the random killer.
Right.
Also, we have an announcement to make.
At three o'clock, we have a Tomlinson Talks episode, so tune in, see what Connor has to say.
And also, we have...
Yeah?
Okay, the screen is weird.
Do you want Brother Josh to start with your segment?
But first, I want to point out how conciliatory you are today, because what Stelios has here on his tie are a bunch of olive branches.
Brother Stelios.
Brother Stelios, sorry.
They're a bunch of olive branches, so he's looking for peace.
I'm the emissary of peace.
I just felt the need to point that out.
So, Trump's day one executive orders seem to be an end to what I'm calling peak woke.
You know, woke has peaked, and now it is on the decline again.
And of course it's not going to vanish completely.
I don't think anyone...
Who's serious will suggest that it's just going to vanish overnight when Trump wills it.
That's not how the world works.
But I think it will become a sort of niche subcultural thing.
It's going to move out of prominence, and I'll go on to the reason why I think that will happen.
It's going to become similar to punk or emo, in that you'll still see people in the wild, but they're their own subculture, separate from the mainstream, and they're not necessarily going to try and impose it on them, hopefully.
And now that we're at this point where the woke is being put away, it's time to reflect on what has been and use that to predict what will happen in the future, because I think that there is now a sort of large void where you could potentially fill it with another ideology or adapt wokeness in a way that allows it to exist once more.
And I think to do that, we actually need to understand what woke is, and I've got some research hot off the press.
For us to do that.
But first, it's worth mentioning what Trump has actually done.
So he's signed two executive orders that are sort of very symbolic strikes at the heart of what woke is.
The first one ending radical and wasteful government DEI programmes and preferencing, basically saying that yes, you can't discriminate against white men is the gist of this, isn't it?
And of course, as with lots of other things, we've seen lots of the tech companies fall in line with Trump's.
Rhetoric.
Because they want to ingratiate themselves and hopefully we'll see a lot more of that because of course DEI programs are unfair against people that need not be discriminated against.
I think there is another reason for the tech companies which is more self-interested which is generally speaking they want to actually have good people working for them to generate money for them and DEI just makes it so you have to hire not the best people.
That's true.
You have to pay them.
Just treasure, a treasure amount of salary.
And another thing as well is gender ideology.
So basically race and gender were the main sort of prongs of wokeness, for want of a better way of putting it.
And here he's basically saying that there are only men and women and that you can't change gender and things like this, which is just common sense, really.
And yeah, it's good to see.
But hopefully this is going to propagate into wider society to a greater degree.
And I think it will to a certain extent because it was getting a little bit grating on a lot of people, wasn't it?
These sorts of ideas.
It's time we become unburdened by the wokeness that has been.
That's true.
Good reference there, Stelios.
And if you appreciate what Trump has done here, if you want him to keep these executive orders on the, you know...
What you could do is support him by wearing a cool t-shirt from Lotus Eaters.
Each shirt you order, Trump gets a little bit stronger.
This is not scientific advice, but my shaman told it to me.
They're good.
We've still got some left over from the election.
If you would like one, they look cool.
If you want to commemorate him becoming president, this is your way of doing so, whilst also supporting us.
And also, if you want him to go Super Saiyan mode against wokeness, buy our t-shirts.
There we go.
Thank you, Stelios.
So, it's worth sort of outlining very briefly.
I know both of you are more than well acquainted with what wokeness is, but I just wanted to nail down a quick definition.
So, it's basically intersectionality.
Which is something I will define.
I'm not going to define it with another obscure term.
Which is a stupid person's impression of how smart people understand human variation, more or less.
And who better to turn to...
Define what intersectionality is than the Scottish government, of course.
Because they've got it on their website.
There should be...
Here we go.
So it says, Crenshaw, who we'll be addressing in a second, provided the following definition of intersectionality.
Intersectionality is a metaphor for understanding the ways that multiple forms of inequality or disadvantage sometimes compound themselves and create obstacles that often are not understood amongst conventional ways of thinking.
Which is a very wordy way of putting it.
So if we read behind the lines, basically intersectionality leads to an oppression calculus and it says that we have groups, you know, one, two, three, four, five, and we create a rank of which group is the most oppressed and which is the least oppressed, and we try to have a two-tier society or a many-tier society that positively discriminates in favor of those who are pronounced to be...
To be, let's say, the more oppressed.
And for some reason, they always tend to be the latest ally of the left.
Funny how that works out, isn't it?
It's just the whining of minorities.
It is, exactly.
So this all comes from the 1989 book from Kimberley Crenshaw, which has a very long and annoying, wordy, jargony title.
Black feminist critique done.
I'm asleep.
Get it out of my face.
It's got black feminist critique, feminist theory and anti-racist politics.
Anti-discrimination doctrine.
Which is anti-white.
Yes it is.
So you've seen these sorts of things.
Conceptualised like this.
Intersectionality.
You've got a Venn diagram here of race, ethnicity, gender, ability, so basically whether they're disabled or not, sexual orientation.
This one's got nationality, which is a bit strange, but class as well.
I think class tended to be a bigger focus in Europe than it did in America.
And then here's another one as well that's similar.
You see these circulating a lot.
And these are from the people teaching this sort of thing.
It's really interesting that they have it because they want to support the revolutionary movements across the globe that they perceive to have revolutionary momentum.
And also it actually says a lot that a lot of the times people who advocate for, say, internationalism, they're basically stooges for foreign nationalism.
It's very true.
Nationalisms.
I think the simplest way to sum it up is, at its heart, it's always just been anti-whitism.
Just remember the Smithsonian display about what whiteness is from a few years back, where it was saying that whiteness is things like objective understanding of reality, certain standards to keep time, certain ways of viewing and understanding the world.
If you take the opposite approach to all of those, that's wokeism.
Because it takes what it understands as being the traits of white societies, European societies, and says they're all bad because, realistically, non-Europeans don't really compete very well in those circumstances.
Exactly.
Yeah, I couldn't put it better myself.
And, yes, why does Kimberley Crenshaw propagate these sorts of ideas?
Well, it's because she is not white herself.
She is an African-American woman.
A black feminist critique was written by a black woman?
I know.
Who would have thought?
It can also...
Has she got triangles for earrings?
I don't know.
She moonlights as a member of a band.
As a musical instrument.
Yes.
But...
Jingle bells, you know.
Intersectionality can also sort of trace elements of critical theory, which was developed by the largely Jewish Frankfurt school set up in the 20s in response to the...
Interwar Weimar German culture, and there are figures such as Herbert Marcuse, Fyodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and basically critical theory and what intersectionality inherits from that.
And this is a definition of critical theory, is that it centres on analysing and challenging systemic power relations in society, arguing that knowledge, truth and social structures are fundamentally shaped by power dynamics between dominant and oppressed groups.
And intersectionality basically takes this whole...
and says that yes, the oppressed group is being oppressed by the society of the oppressors and they analyse things on the basis of Exactly, and it works cumulatively, because they will say that, well, if you're black, you're more oppressed than white.
If you're a woman, you're more oppressed than a man.
But if you're a black woman, you're even more oppressed than a black man.
And also, if you're a black woman who's a Muslim lesbian who's disabled, you are the most...
Yes, apparently so, which doesn't really follow in my mind.
Josh, can I add something here?
Of course.
So what is interesting here is that these people have always been explicit.
It is the centers of actual power that have used DEI that haven't been.
So they are saying that if we tie in the intersectionality with the oppression calculus, and you have the whites as being, from the beginning, the oppressors, They literally say they're anti-white by discriminating against white people.
But it is the institutions that have used wokeness who try to shield that fact and say everyone...
And they did say that everyone who pointed that out was basically a far-right racist, according to...
But a lot of these sort of...
intellectual justifications for these ideas, a sort of window dressing for the real aim of these ideas, which is extracting resources, ultimately, from white people.
And it's not that many of these people want to be accepted by white society because they have active contempt for it.
And so it's not about acceptance or, you know, having a more welcoming society.
It's about, I want to take your stuff.
And you need only look at the fact that what is associated with woke behaviour, what actual tangible things could you say are linked to?
Well, DEI, which, you know, is about securing financial situations.
Anti-meritocracy.
Exactly.
Reparations, which is a bit more explicit.
And then there are just sometimes outright calls for wealth redistribution.
All of these things are talking about resources.
They're not talking about changing society, really.
It's all about money, really.
One of the other things that I would say that could be linked to money as well is advocacy for criminals.
Actively rooting for criminals, which you could say maybe it's not directly linked to resource acquisition, but it's certainly linked to weakening the host society, which makes it easier to acquire resources.
And therefore, I think that most of the people who engaged in WOKE are actually engaging in financial self-interest.
It's not direct, necessarily.
There's a mediating step, but that's what they've done.
People have understood this for a while, actually.
This, of course, is not a real image.
As in, this isn't a real activist.
This was part of a comedy skit.
But it captures exactly that sentiment.
That someone is saying, all white people are racist, therefore PayPal me.
It's just cutting out all of the nonsense.
But the satire is sort of on point.
I think the original skit was trying to see if these people would just sit through.
Someone being really rude to them.
I bet they did.
They did.
Many of them did.
I mean, people actively paid the BLM people to do dinners with them where they told them off for being racist the entire time.
It's amazing to me.
It's so ridiculous.
They convinced me they're going to pull it off.
And I'm going to go over some of the actual research because there's been some new research that's come out as of next month.
So I've actually seen a sort of pre-screen.
So you've actually been woke and stolen it.
I've not stolen it, I've read it, and I'm going to show it.
You wanted to prove how non-white you were.
By citing my sources and honouring the people who did the hard work.
And stealing it while you're at it.
There's no stealing going on here.
Alright.
You want some stealing?
Well, no.
Steal a drink of water here for you, just for you.
There you go.
Right.
So it sort of started the understanding of these things in 2012 when there was research conducted by Noor et al.
that looked at competitive victimhood and it's basically Suggesting that victims are enabled to claim not only compensation from non-victims, but also immunisation from claims of their own moral transgressions, either deceit, intimidation or violence, and also in transferring resources to themselves or their social group.
It was a way of saying, well, I'm a victim, I am deserving of things, therefore give me stuff.
It's a way of grifting, more or less.
And then there was this 2021 study, which I've actually gone over with you, Harry, before.
I love this study.
Signalling virtuous victimhood as indicators of the dark triad personality.
So the basic premise is that...
Modern victim signalling is about non-reciprocal resource extraction from institutions or individuals more resource-rich than themselves.
And this can come in two forms, but mainly the former.
Material, i.e.
money, jobs, access to education, or more symbolic things such as respect, tolerance, or compassion.
But the symbolic things are much more junior to the money.
And of course the dark triad is a measure of narcissism.
Everyone knows what narcissism is, right?
Machiavellianism, which is sort of following your self-interested ambitions in a very...
Yeah, just...
Immoral?
Immoral way.
Amoral, perhaps, is a better way of putting it.
And then psychopathy.
Everyone knows what a psychopath is, right?
But they used metrics to measure these things in people.
And then they asked them to do lots of tasks involving redistributing...
Wealth or trying to convince someone to give them more resources and asking their attitudes.
I think there was one where they asked them about their views on counterfeit goods.
Is it okay to basically buy counterfeit goods and pass them off as genuine?
And people who were more likely to signal their virtuous victimhood as a means of extracting money from people were also more okay with...
Lying about, you know, how they're presenting themselves by these counterfeit goods.
And I'm going to read some of the findings.
Sorry, Stelius, you wanted to say something.
No, no, I just wanted to add to this.
Of course.
I think the best way to think about it is if we think examples of people who display these qualities in real life, and I must say I've met several of these people, I think three, who constantly play the card that, you know, unless you comply with, you know, my demands, basically, in a covert sense, I'm going to...
Depart from the planet.
Let me put it this way.
So we don't get any issues with YT. But, you know, all of them are alive.
And all of them, they were just trying to do mind tricks.
So it's manipulation, isn't it?
Exactly, manipulation.
And they constantly present the world as if they're victims.
Because if they present themselves as victims, anything they can do will be seen as self-defense.
I'm going to quickly fire through some of the findings of this study and then go on to the new one.
They say some people will repeatedly emit the signal in an opportunistic manner to initiate non-reciprocal resource transfer, basically getting resources, money.
Our first three studies demonstrated how a perceived victim signal can lead others to transfer resources to a victim, but that the motivation to do so is amplified when the victim signal is paired with a virtue signal.
So if you're signalling that you're a victim but you're still virtuous, you didn't deserve to be a victim, because of course being a victim is still not a desirable thing in and of itself.
It's only desirable as an end if you can get stuff out of it.
I'm a victim, but only because I'm such a good and virtuous person, so I deserve more from life.
On the virtue signal, I mean, these sorts of studies always check out with my experience of people.
Like, I saw a friend recently, and he is a friend, so I'll be gentle here, who was, I brought up Trump, and he immediately started virtue signaling about Trump.
Oh, the indictments, oh, America's a fascist dictator, oh, this and that.
Now, I'm not going to say that this person is a psychopath, but I will.
We'll call him a compulsive and manipulative liar.
And that's my personal experience.
And he is always, whenever these things come up, the first one to try and jump on letting everybody around him know what a good person he is.
No offense if you're watching this.
If you kind of reassure people all the time that you're a good person, perhaps you have doubts yourself.
Just saying.
But it carries on to say that those higher in dark triad traits signal more often.
And so it seems that there's a link between signaling how much of a virtuous victim you are and being basically more evil.
Well, when people constantly tell you, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, and virtues, they want to create the habit in you of thinking that they are virtuous.
If they were virtuous and they were confident that you would think they were virtuous, they wouldn't be saying it.
One of their experiments very much illustrates just how malicious they are.
Frequent virtuous victim signalers were more likely to cheat and lie to earn extra monetary rewards in the coin flip game, which is one of the psychology experimental designs that is used quite often.
And also one of the factors was communal narcissism, which is you're narcissistic but on behalf of your...
Ethnic group, basically.
The people you identify with.
It was a significant and positive predictor for the frequency of signalling your virtuous victimhood.
and their sort of conclusion is to and this was a very good study it was multi multi-parts sort of each experiment validated further the previous one and they sort of built up this good understanding it is 29 pages long so it's a very comprehensive thing and then we'll go on to the next one which is building upon that again
together our studies present converging evidence that the virtuous victimhood signal is an effective mechanism for persuading others to part with their resources in a way that benefits the signaler and that people who tend to engage in amoral social manipulation to achieve their goals are more likely to admit them well there we have it then Bad people are more likely to do this sort of thing, right?
And it's all about extracting money from people, more or less.
And then there's another study that comes out next month.
I was able to spot it early because they put it in pre-publishing.
It's this one.
This is from the University of Edinburgh.
Virtuous Victimhood as Dark Triad Resource Transfer Strategy.
And they're following on from the findings of the previous one.
And I'm just going to read the findings of their two studies that were basically verifying it.
So, study one, replicated significant large association between virtuous victim signalling and communal narcissism as well as Machiavellianism.
So, just...
being nakedly out for extracting resources for your own group basically and then study two tested the robustness of these associations using an alternative victim signal measure which also replicated the result once again and even found a larger effect than in the original study.
So it seems like it's all about This sort of thing.
Also, they found that sadism is somewhat involved in it, but isn't necessarily as good a predictor, but it does determine how much they enjoyed attacking the people that were supposedly oppressing them.
So we've got basically sadistic people who enjoy lying to extract resources from groups they do not identify with.
Are there any other metrics by which you can divide people on there?
Proclivity towards psychopathy and sadism and other kind of behaviours.
What do you mean, metrics here?
Never mind.
I think I know what you're saying.
Yes, is the answer.
But the first thing that I think would be worth mentioning, well, it's clear for why ordinary people might use these signals, particularly if you're hard up, you might be able to extract resources from someone.
Like lots of the people, African-Americans, that wanted reparations.
It's obvious that they just wanted the money, right?
And there's not much more to it than that.
But why would, say, the elites support this thing?
And this is where I want your guys' input.
And my sort of understanding is that in the same way that multinational corporations actually support greater legislation in that it makes the barrier to entry for potential competitors higher whilst they have the ability to deal with it because they've got pre-established legal departments.
That allows them to eliminate potential competitors and get to preserve their monopoly for longer than they would be able to in an organic market.
And therefore, they can take a short-term hit for much more money in the long term.
I mean, that's simple econ 101. We've covered that before.
We have indeed.
Back in contemplation.
So when it comes to woke ideas, and people like BlackRock, one of the largest hedge funds in the world, pushed this sort of thing.
It makes sense for them to do that because it's basically eliminating competition for them.
That's why it's useful to them, even though at the surface level it wouldn't seem like it would be useful.
Well, yeah, the big corporations, they can afford the costs that come with it, whereas the smaller ones can't.
So it puts them out of business.
Yeah, I think it's a combination of money and power.
And you mentioned BlackRock.
From the economic aspect, I'll also mention the political one, its votes.
There's not that much to it.
Body positivity, for instance.
It's also an issue of opening yourself to a new market.
That's true.
The pharmaceuticals have an incentive to push body positivity because it creates new customers.
Big customer base, you could say.
On why they're turning back on this.
Some of them.
Again, I think when it comes to certain regulations, they're more than happy to absorb the cost, but when all of a sudden the regulations are, if you don't hit these particular diversity targets, the government can sue you, and they start to try and hit those diversity targets, and all of a sudden everything stops working, then they're more than eager to go, okay, maybe we should just go back to the way it used to be.
15, 20 years ago.
Although I'm aware that one of the executive orders that Trump has put forward is actually repealing a 1965 executive order that was put forward by Lyndon Johnson, which was one of the first affirmative action ones.
Although, obviously, Civil Rights Act of 64 and 91 still basically codify it into law.
Yeah, and it is also worth mentioning as well that I think this for elites has functioned as a raid on income rather than a sustained strategy.
They only intended for it to be temporary in a number of years and then they'll dial it back and there'll be something else, which leads us on nicely to what is in store for the future because I saw it as a heist or a raid on the private property of ordinary working people and if you're out...
To do that sort of thing, you don't want to do it twice because people will expect it for a second time, and therefore there'll be a new kind of means to keep ordinary people down eventually.
That's sort of my guess, and it's currently like a transition period in tactics.
And, sorry, do carry on.
Oh, similarly, in regards to, I don't know, how cohesive a society is, woke is...
Intentionally divisive.
And so when you're starting to get history starting back up again with Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Gaza and such, American elite foreign policy, while it will visibly shift under Trump, I expect, a lot of the people who staff the deep state are, unless Doge gets them, going to remain the same.
Sorts of policies that they're going to be going for on an international stage, that being, you know, America's global hegemen, spreading democracy around the world.
All of those goals are going to stay the same.
If you want to promote that and you want to have people go out and die for you, you need a cohesive culture.
And WOKE is, I think, partially being pulled back to make sure that, you know, next time you need to get people to sign up for the army, they're not going to do that if they know that the country that they're fighting for hates them.
That's very true.
I agree.
What do you think, Stelius?
I think whether it's going to be put away or not is ultimately an issue of the left and whether the Islamist-friendly wing of the left is going to dominate the left.
I think this has happened in several places.
Definitely, I think it will happen more in Europe.
But I don't know the extent in which it will happen to the US. Yeah, it remains to be seen, but I think that I've seen signs that things are being dialed back to a significant degree, even amongst left-wing circles.
So, you know, we can't know the future, but I think that either it's going to stay around in a sort of residual sense, or there's going to be something else that's going to take its place.
That's my sort of cynical understanding.
And what I hope to highlight in what I've been saying is...
Now you know what to look for, something that's extractive, that can be pushed by elites to basically keep ordinary people down.
Alright, Brother Stelios.
Do you want to read the comments?
Yeah, yeah, I have.
Okay, we've got a few today, haven't we?
Blimey, thank you.
That's Random Name says, one minute late.
That Africa time hits us all sometimes.
Hey, we're all sat in our seats.
We're ready to go.
Ogopogo says, Hello, you British chaps.
Azuma's son of two Nigerian immigrants.
I'm still against mass migration.
Countries should not be simply economic zones.
I'll defend the traditions of the country I call home.
Well, thank you very much.
And commendable effort.
Harry looks like he's finally ready to start his newest character arc as the first Weasley to be put in house slithering by the small sorting hat.
Hey, Slytherin's the cool one.
That is true.
They're the racist ones, right?
Harry Weasley was never the same after Ginny Weasley dated Dean Thomas.
In fact, he cast a spell that made the hat send mudblood to Azkaban.
Some good Harry Potter references today.
No, this is Harry Deep Lore right here, okay?
These things are true.
He's been reading through my Wikipedia page, clearly.
Bonsai Buddy says, I need someone who got a £60,000 in BAME scheme payment across her uni degree.
She'll never have to pay any of that back.
It's to give people a leg up over the native populations.
Yes, I very much agree.
What uni degree was that and what does she do nowadays?
Because I don't want her to be in charge of any important infrastructure.
She's a paramedic now.
No, I don't know.
I'm just guessing.
Sigil Stone says, virtual signalling is so 2014. We un-virtue signal now.
I'm on my skeletal maxing arc.
I don't want to feel good.
I want to feel evil.
You're talking my language here.
You gave him an excuse to do a Schwarzenegger call.
That is one of my favourite ones.
That's from Batman and Robin, isn't it?
You alright, brother Harry?
I'm alright, brother Stelios.
Brother.
We're good, brother.
It's the 22nd of January and a lot of historic moments are happening and a lot of interesting events are happening.
Obviously, we have Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th president of the US and we have, contemporaneously, we have the Davos meeting of the WEF, that is the World Economic Forum, who are very much interested in...
Promoting, stimulating growth to improve living standards, known promoters of degrowth policies, and stewarding a just and inclusive energy transition.
They're also worried about inclusive democracy, which is the form of democracy where the common people are excluded, by the way.
I've always thought that the energy sector has really been so exclusionary of people.
You know, all of those people that want to be included in the energy sector.
Yes, that's what I want to see.
Exactly.
And this year it's very low energy and a lot of them are scared and we are going to talk about a lot of the moments we see.
Right.
But we had the elections and Trump inauguration and the powers that be have dictated that the election merch is still on.
It's not going to be forever.
So if you want to buy it, check out our beautiful products like the Trump Vance 24 hat, our t-shirts.
Also coffee mugs.
This is the iconic coffee mug here.
Wear them to work, to gloat.
Yeah.
You can get a good lawsuit on your hands if you're drinking from that mug and someone tries to fire you.
And also the art of the grill.
What a lovely cup.
Right.
Okay, so you know a lot of these people are environmentally conscious and they had huge motorcades and lots of jets flying in that weren't particularly polluting.
And also Greenpeace made a protest.
Now, I want us to watch this video because this was an exceptionally...
I don't know, how should we call it?
Just look at it.
Exceptionally dumb.
This is chaos.
How many globalists does it take to move a ladder?
They're really pulling up the ladder for everyone else, aren't they?
Everyone is literally going about their business as if nothing's happening.
The reporters are taking photos to say there's a Greenpeace protest and people say this is chaos.
Yeah, nobody cares.
Was that a Greenpeace protest, was it?
Those protesters don't even realize that they are the stormtroopers for all of the people that they were just trying to protest against there.
Yeah, so here we have a very interesting clip by Jonathan Crispin, I hope I pronounced it correctly, pardon me if I don't, who went out and he trolled some people who came out of the WEF. There are some brilliant moments here that are really indicative.
Let's watch two parts of this.
Sir, we want to tackle the climate change issue.
Yes, he's our guy.
He's our guy?
I'm a guy, yeah.
What are you doing here in the first place?
Well, I'm here to do work around the climate, peace, all the different issues that count.
What kind of ideas do you have about climate change, about food or something?
Well, we built a program called the Cool Block Program that helps create carbon-neutral cities.
Carbon-neutral cities.
Carbon-neutral cities, yeah.
And what kind of plan is that?
It's called Cool City Challenge, and it works with cities to help them learn how to reduce their carbon footprint and become carbon neutral, household by household, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Gamification.
And you want to implement that in other cities also?
We've been implementing it all across California for a while, yeah.
And what about the food?
It's very important.
One needs to eat lower on the food chain to lower your carbon footprint.
Just what kind of a proposal is this?
Lower our position in the food chain.
Just start getting eaten by cows now.
You just live in a field naked, like, eat me!
Yeah, but he wouldn't want cows to do this because the, let's say, the outputs of cows are incredibly bad for the environment.
So if cows go on top of the food chain and they eat us...
The environment is going to die.
It'd be terrible to point out the fact that the number of ruminant animals in the British Isles is actually more or less the same than before human beings actually settled it.
So WEF 2025 is about lowering our position in the food chain.
You're going to get eaten by the bugs now.
You're going to get eaten and be happy.
Papua New Guineans delighted at this new prospect.
Yeah, I mean, every one of their proposals is going to translate to your life gets worse, mine stays the same, all gets better.
Because on the subject of last segment, these guys will have more of the resources to go between them if they just take away all of ours.
But also, he has a very explicit idea about how to handle referendums.
Accelerator partners to just grow that network effect.
Well, to make the world better, it's a very good idea to have a referendum with people, you know, so people can think for themselves.
Are you in favor of referenda so they can vote on your ideas?
Well, it's a different strategy.
It's actually empowering behavioral change.
That's the actual idea.
How to get a lot of people to change and adopt new behaviors.
So it's not so much political as it is individual and citywide.
Yes, because no green policy has ever been top-down implemented by the government.
Here we have the fruits of the green labor.
We had, despite the EU heavily promoting hydrogen in its green agenda and net zero ambitions, the industry is struggling with many project cancellation and delays.
Almost one in five projects have been scrapped, despite being heavily supported financially.
Very nice, very cool.
How's Germany's energy situation looking?
Oh wait, yeah, it's not good.
Also, that previous guy was obviously playing off of the behavioural science side of things, wasn't he?
That you manipulate people's behaviour to get them to adopt things without actually putting it on the ballot, or even them being aware that you've done it in the first place, which is very insidious.
I mean, you could call it evil.
Yeah, and much of it is actually based on a lot of the research that I base my master's dissertation on, so I know a lot of the...
And I would say, yes, it's incredibly immoral and, dare I say, evil.
But he had a really calm demeanour.
He appeared to be good.
He looked like a villain from Robocop.
I can trust him.
Right, here we had Billboard Chris being attacked by an academic.
I can't show the video because it has very explicit language by the left-wing academic that left the WEF and started cursing at Billboard Chris and then...
The reporters were trying to talk to him and he wasn't talking.
He sort of kissed them.
He made a kiss to the camera.
It was very unpleasant.
Very unpleasant.
Your average academic there criticises ideas and he will fight you.
Yeah, let me just show you some stuff here as they are asking.
You came from within the World Economic Forum.
for him what's your capacity here he has he didn't say anything and they're asking him why are you going against billboard chris he told him you're an effing you know danger things like that and you see here his demeanor not particularly good but he's gonna kiss the camera in a really interesting way i'll be fair to the guy if If a load of people were crowding around me like this, I would also be in a bad mood.
Yeah, but he was in a bad mood before because he saw Billboard Chris and disagrees with his position.
You see here this kiss.
I actually feel like he kissed us, the audience.
Right, so here we have actually the only person who is making a realistic proposal.
Let's play this video.
He's talking about some reserves.
There is a history to gold.
There was once a gold standard.
Currencies were packed to gold.
But if we now say that, okay, Bitcoin.
Okay, what about platinum?
What about coal?
Why don't we hold strategic beef reserves?
I like this.
Yes, I like this.
Beef reserves.
I also like that.
So it's a public policy issue that we have got to be engaged in.
And I would caution against the move then that would say there is an industry with a particular interest in a particular product.
And we would like to impose it on society.
Look at all the people, how they like what they hear.
I like his ideas.
Why Bitcoin Reserve and not Beef Reserves and Mutton Reserve?
Yeah, there's no answer!
She had picked up on the Beef Reserve, didn't she?
I mean, if somebody could send me a reserve of beef, I'd be a very happy man.
Make this guy the leader of the WEF and all of a sudden the problems disappear.
You will eat the beef and you will be happy.
Everyone will have a strategic beef reserve in their home at all times.
You know, I'm all for it, actually.
Maybe the WEF isn't so bad after.
Yeah, I wanted to ask you, Harry.
I mean, you can't have an issue with strategic beef reserves.
I don't.
And they're also strategic, apart from being beef.
I mean, the strategic part is I eat it every day.
Okay, how many?
12 steaks a day?
I'm not a monster.
12 steaks, Harry.
12 eggs to go with my steak.
I eat a lot of eggs.
It's a good amount of eggs.
You know there are some rumours you eat 12 cows a day?
Who's spreading these rumours?
One every two hours.
Brother Stelios, this is some slander being thrown against me.
I'd be a very, very fat man if I was doing that, whereas I'm actually only a slightly fat man.
Right, now let's go to the more interesting contributions to the WEF. We have Zelensky here.
He basically said we can't constantly expect help from the US. He talked about Putin's geostrategy.
He said Putin is allying with Iran and they want to wage economic war to Europe by essentially an energy war.
Did you bring a tin cup with him this time?
Well, he asked for, he pushed for the Euro army rhetoric, said that, you know, we don't have enough men to fight Russia, we need more Europeans.
To turn the EU into a gigantic super state with its own standing army.
Yes.
Other than the fact that he wants to get a European army, a lot of what he said there was actually kind of true as well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, I know he's rattling the tin, just like, give us, you know, anything, you know, some stones to throw at the Russians, we'll take anything you've got.
Right, and here we go to Klaus Schwab, who is a bit...
How should I say?
He's a bit low energy.
Sinister?
He's a bit low energy this year.
Why would he be...
For the next generation fails, we risk depending into self-serving and short-sighted behaviors that undermine collective progress.
And lead to profound societal and political shifts.
To counter the erosion of hope and confidence in our future, we must go beyond reacting just to crisis.
We must focus proactively, shaping the future in strategic, innovative and constructive ways.
Despite the intense, short-term pressures and problems which we all feel.
It is not sinister.
So, who is all here?
Apparently, it's the...
So, just keep playing it for a moment.
Just keep it...
Was he about to say, it is not sinister?
Was he basically about to go on a little bit at the end by saying, by the way, I am not evil.
Or negativism.
Which brings us forward.
Oh, cynicism.
Oh, okay.
I was really hoping he was going to be like, I'm a good guy, I promise.
He turned up to the forum with a white cat.
Yeah, Blofeld's cat from James Bond.
Yeah, but essentially this is him being scared and the WEF party being scared that Donald Trump won the elections.
Has he got more German?
From two years ago.
He didn't do the last one, did he?
So it was two years ago.
You see, there are several things that I don't like about his demeanour.
First of all, is that he constantly gives so many platitudes that mean nothing.
Right?
You know, collective progress.
And then he throws in something that is a gem of totalitarianism.
Like, we don't need to just react to crises, we need to anticipate them.
We need to make them.
In some cases, this is also, you could say a platitude, but also if you contextualize it and bear in mind all of the policies of the WEF, this actually is much more than just, okay, hey, let's try to prevent a crisis from whose conditions, generative conditions we know.
Because the obvious question is, there are so many other crises that they...
How they're being brought forth in Europe, for instance, but they do nothing about it.
How preemptive are they when it comes to mass migration?
Zero preemptiveness.
He isn't talking about any kind of actually important...
Actually important agenda here.
He's actually having a negative agenda.
Well, I think Josh in saying that they're going to make the crisis is more correct than you might be suggesting here because you look and you can find UN documents and such talking about replacement migration as a good thing into Europe.
So what they have done is they've manufactured a crisis which then they deny as being a crisis that gives them, in their denial, free reign to do basically anything.
Well, like we're going to cover in a moment, The problem to Britain is not mass migration of violent criminals, it's the fact that you've got access to knives, which means we're going to throw in digital ID so that you're going to be forced to use digital ID everywhere if you want to purchase this common household object.
Harry, some knives have mental health problems and we need to raise our taxes in order to procure psychological help to these knives.
We also need a total ban on high-powered assault knives.
Yep.
Right, so let's start bearing the context in mind.
So Klaus Schwab says we need proactive leadership.
We need to prevent crises rather than actually reacting to them.
Now, there's a lot of issue with the crisis of legitimacy when it comes to the EU institutions.
So what else is there than actually opening up and actually trying to represent your people?
What best to prevent a crisis of legitimacy?
Instead of doing this, they are actually promoting the DSA, the Digital Service Act, and they are essentially banning disagreement with the...
Here we have, from last year, Ursula von der Leyen saying that she wants to push forward the DSA and censor social media under the pretext of hate speech.
And this year she says, well, the new cooperative world order has not turned into reality.
Instead, competition is alive and thriving today.
And she said we have a new era of geostrategic rivalry.
Has that ever ended, is the question.
Yeah, but competition is good, and also you don't want your world leaders to unite in a way, because if they unite, it means that they've sort of got a stable position to exploit their subjects more.
Global governance, the dream of globalists.
Right, we have here Olaf Scholz, who was saying basically that, against Elon Musk, he was saying that the EU has freedom of speech, but freedom of speech is not for extreme right positions.
And he mentioned explicitly Elon Musk's comments about EU. Let's be fair, this is a very German position to take on it.
Well, I want to say two things.
First of all, free speech is free speech.
Full stop.
And second is, notice how they always go after positions they pronounce to be extreme right without also going after positions they pronounce to be extreme left.
Again, this is Germany we're talking about.
Here is an interesting thing.
No one was interested to ask Olaf Scholz.
I have people who rotate with the microphone.
So please raise your hands if you have any question or any comment to be made.
and don't be shy.
Keiner fragt?
No.
I don't see...
I mean, isn't that a microaggression as they told us at the university If you ask someone, you're literally putting them on the spot.
It destroys their delicate psychology.
This is like that awkward moment at the end of the university lecture, where they start to say, does any of the students have any questions?
Nobody raises their hand.
I would just ask a question to be polite a lot of the time.
Why are you shaking your head at that?
That's a good English thing to do.
That means that you were listening to the lecture.
You were doing university all wrong.
I paid my own money to be there.
Not like all the other students.
Now, good news is Javier Millet is going to give a date, an address, a special address tomorrow.
Yeah, that is correct.
That would be interesting.
Last year's, it was arguably the most interesting speech.
Wasn't that the one where he just called them all a bunch of socialists?
Yes, and now...
The sign that foretells his...
Coming to the World Economic Forum and they're flying in lots of large breasted prostitutes for him.
That's the only way that you can get him to go anywhere.
Because have you seen a lot of the people he's hired?
There's a lot of interesting women.
That government money that's been saved has got to go somewhere, right?
It has.
There are some very wealthy cosmetic surgeons in Argentina right now.
Ministry of Beauty.
Right, okay.
And I'm going to end the segment with some comments about Thierry Breton, who was a former European commissioner, who just constantly makes claims.
Now he says that the EU should launch Tech Offensive.
Who asked you?
And he literally said that...
A few weeks ago he said that we have the power to cancel elections just like we did in Romania so we can cancel them now, everywhere else.
What sinister soul is it?
But also an interesting turn of events that Harry, I'm absolutely positive you're going to like.
There are several rumors and I have seen people asking him that he is going to take a new job as advisor at the Bank of America.
Despite a rule that requires a two-year waiting period before starting lobbying jobs.
Now, why would this, you know, bureaucrat, this unelected European bureaucrat who constantly goes against Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and basically all European people who are interested in patriotism, why is he going to become suddenly an advisor at the Bank of America?
I don't know, you tell me.
He holds power over American politics if he works at the Bank of America.
I don't know.
Or maybe people who have placed him in the EU are going to place him there now.
So he's going to switch like a team from Chelsea to Arsenal.
Something like that.
Anyway, so this year's Davos was unbelievably low energy.
I'm sure Millet is going to change this, but generally speaking, they just don't seem to learn.
They're doubling down on their stupid agenda that is incredibly bad and pernicious.
Alright, we've got quite a few more rumble rents.
Blimey, look at them all.
Ooh, these are many.
Oh, it was Sigil Stone.
Sigil Stone, second Schwarzenegger one, yeah.
Speaking of Schwarzenegger, Josh Nunn, what is best in life?
Ha!
Meme your enemies.
See them triggered before you.
And hear the screeching of their wife's boyfriend.
The engaged few Davos.
The embodiment of the phrase...
We can't read that one.
Yeah, we can't read that one.
Please, don't fair post.
Ogopogo776.
Hello again, this is my second Ramble Run Harry.
I did the IQ test you were...
Talking about in the Haitian Springfield, I live in Ohio, by the way, section a few months ago, it turns out I got an IQ of 120. Oh, good on you.
That's a good IQ. Well done.
I don't know what my IQ is.
I don't want to find out, actually.
I'm probably going to be disappointed.
It'll just be too high.
It'll just be two.
The engaged few.
When anyone starts talking about the need for sacrifices, you can be sure of two things.
One, they've already decided who will do the sacrificing.
You.
And two, who will benefit from the sacrifice?
Themselves.
That's a very good comment.
Almethon, where is Bo?
Bo Channel 24x7 also make ginger chops great again.
Smile.
Is that talking about me?
I'm not ginger.
The engaged...
I'm not ginger.
The studio lighting makes it look more orange than it is, alright?
There's nothing wrong with being ginger.
Both sides of my family have people...
Well, you're Scottish, so you would say that.
It's fine.
It's desirable.
It's very British.
The engaged few just say Stellius Klaus Schwab is a facial scar and a lab cat away from being a Bond villain.
We basically did say that.
Yeah, that's true.
Thank you.
Kalev Knight, fan fact from the internet, absolute veganism is impossible since carbon is an animal byproduct and plants use it.
That's true.
Why Bobod...
Bobobad, why is Schwab a literal pop villain?
I expected him to announce his threat to cover the sun or destroy the world's food supply.
That's next year.
He is trying to destroy the world's food supply.
It would be more fun if they were just out and out.
Like, yeah, I'm going to cover up the sun because the sun emits too much carbon.
Anyone got a betting pool sorted on how long before Schwab is threatening Earth with a giant moon laser?
Again, that's next year.
Get on that idea.
That's a random name.
Harry Weasley's defiance of Dolores Umbridge had him sent to Azkaban.
His crime?
Using the forbidden spells that starts with N. That's right.
I wanted to destroy all Naggers.
Total Nagger death.
Sigilstone 17. Harry Weasley got in deep trouble with the Ministry of Magic for saying that...
That's going to get clicked.
I can hear Samson.
Roundhouse kick naggers.
Don't make it worse.
Sigilstone.
Harry Weasley got in deep trouble with the Ministry of Magic for saying that goblins control Gringotts.
It was deemed an anti-goblinic conspiracy theory.
They literally do.
It's in the film.
I saw them.
Jon Stewart confirmed it.
Just don't look at what's on the floor of the bank.
I love that they got annoyed at that, and that's just what was already on the floor of the bank.
That's great.
And on to...
We had too much laughs there.
Too much fun.
Time to bring down...
Yeah, time to bring the tone down and bring everybody back to reality, which, as we all know, is sordid and depressing.
What?
I'm just quoting Eminem.
I'm not an Eminem connoisseur.
Apologies.
Which song is it from?
I don't know.
I'm white.
I know he's a white rapper, but I'm too white to listen to.
If you've not heard how I talk, I don't listen to rap music.
I don't know.
Could have fooled me.
Anyway, so yeah, let's talk about...
The Rwandan killer Axel Rudakabana.
You've already been told yesterday by Carl about how his trial was incredibly short because they decided to change his plea for all 16 counts, including the count of terror, to guilty rather than not guilty, which very, very conveniently for the government meant that the trial did not go forward because now we're just waiting on the sentencing, which will be happening tomorrow as we're recording this.
Tomorrow will be Thursday.
And we're interested...
To see what the sentencing will be, and if you could pass me the mouse, please.
I just needed the mouse, but thank you.
We're all very interested to see what the sentencing will be.
I do not expect that he will get anywhere near what he deserves, because what he deserves is currently illegal under British law.
But before I talk about any more of that, go to the website, buy the things!
The things are still available on the website for a limited time.
How limited?
Ooh, we've not decided yet.
We keep saying it's limited, but who knows how limited it is?
Ooh, buy it!
Buy these shirts.
Buy this hat.
You'll look very handsome in the hat.
Buy this mug.
Think of all the coffee you can drink.
You'll look much sexier holding your fight mug.
Women will be more attracted to you.
Men may be more attracted to you.
Probably men will be more attracted to you.
Buy it right now.
It's inexpensive.
It's not too expensive.
Buy it!
Anyway, so let's take a look at what our glorious Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, God bless, praise be unto him, said about the Southport public inquiry that will be going on because,
of course, there have been a number of major failures in the government leading up to the Southport attack which happened last July, July 29th, which injured a number of young children and killed three young girls.
And, you know, Keir Starmer, as you would expect, is taking full responsibility for that and will leave no stone unturned and also set the pace for the media approach that is going on from now.
Because you would ask yourself, well, the guy was the child of Rwandan immigrants.
Refuge asylum seekers, is that right?
Asylum seekers, yes, asylum seekers.
Had a history of being tracked by Prevent that they did nothing for.
Perhaps it's that, one, the institutions we have to prevent terror attacks are inadequate and terrible.
Two, maybe we shouldn't be importing people from all across the world, including some of the most violent areas of the world, which actually had an infamous genocide in the 1990s.
That's the approach that I would take.
I would say, perhaps integration doesn't work, perhaps it's a myth, and perhaps these people, the majority of them, are not worth having in the country, for economic reasons or otherwise.
No!
No, the takeaway is that incels are to blame, as are knives.
So we need to keep a closer eye on incels and stop you from being able to buy a knife unless you get a nice Tony Blair-approved digital ID. So what was it he said in here?
He pointed out that, uh...
He's got the inquiry launched by the Home Secretary, and he says that it was a complete failure that leaps off of the page.
For example, the perpetrator was referred to the Prevent Program on three separate occasions, in 2019 once and in 2021 twice, because Axel Rudakabana had previously gone into his secondary school with a, if I remember correctly, a hockey bat.
A hockey stick, yeah.
A hockey stick.
The names of people written on it.
With the names of people written on it and broke somebody's wrist.
Or was it their arm?
Either way, he'd already assaulted somebody, and he was known to the authorities.
He had social services that had to go with police attendants to his home whenever they were seeing him, and he was known to be obsessed with genocides across all of history, but particularly involving the Rwandan genocide.
Depends to be a bit of a red flag.
Yeah, what a big shock.
Prevent looked at this, and they said that he did not meet the threshold for intervention, despite the fact he'd already been showing that he was interested in terror-related incidents and violence, and was happy to commit violence against other young people.
He then goes on to cover his own back, because of course one of the big things that happened after the Southport attack were the riots, because people were rightfully...
Angry at the fact that this happened in the first place, and then the government was stonewalling them, and Keir Starmer himself said to the British people that why he did this did not matter.
Why you're angry does not matter.
That's what he said.
He just shut people down, but no, he's got a cover for himself, which is such an abusive thing to say.
If you were in a marriage, and you said to your marriage counsellor...
Like, I did this bad thing to you, or this bad thing happened to you.
Not gonna look at why it happened.
They'd be like, hang on a minute, that's actually a really abusive thing to say.
Yeah, but he said, if this trial had collapsed because I or anyone else had revealed crucial details while the police were investigating, while the case was being built, while we were awaiting a verdict, then the vile individual who committed these crimes would have walked away a free man.
So a nice...
A nice sneaky deflection there of all of the people who pointed out correctly that it was the government withholding information regarding the identity of the killer, regarding the motives, regarding All the other details, like the fact that they found ricin in the house he was living in.
That was one of the major contributing factors to why the riots and why the protests happened in the first place.
The government did not address any of that.
People were allowed to speculate by themselves, and that led to mass panic and mass arrests of people who were just going out to protest and hadn't done anything wrong in a lot of cases.
Or said meanie bobo words to the police, which you can get...
In the past, the predominant threat was highly organised groups with clear political intent, groups like Al-Qaeda.
That threat, of course, remains, but now alongside that we also see acts of extreme violence perpetrated by loners, misfits, young men in their bedroom, accessing all manner of material online, desperate for notoriety.
So it's not anything to do with his background or anything like that.
It's just that he was a loner misfit incel.
It's worth mentioning as well that some of the people that commit the most disproportionate number of murders are the black gangs in London, right?
And it's not like they're misfit...
Well, I'd argue they're misfits.
I mean, they are misfits, but they're not loners.
They're not loners because they're in a gang.
There's multiple of them.
Well, yeah, but that would be noticing too hard, Josh, if you were to notice the disparate proportion of crime committed by different ethnicities.
My goodness, the government's own statistics.
I know, that's illegal, Josh.
And he carries on to saying, this is one of the most notorious things already been said in this statement.
Now, it may be that people like this are harder to spot.
After he had already mentioned that Prevent had looked into him three separate times.
And also...
Just a reminder as well, this is what he looked like.
I wouldn't look at him and think, you know what, he's perfect for babysitting children.
Yeah.
He was very easy to spot, actually.
But, of course, noticing patterns and spotting the things that would keep your own children safe is illegal under liberal democracy, so thank you very much for that.
And then he carries on to say, and so if the law needs to change to recognise this new and dangerous threat, then we will change it, and quickly.
And we will also review our entire counter-extremist system to make sure that we have what we need to defeat it.
So what he's saying there is that we're going to have more laws to encroach on your liberties to make sure that we have a greater surveillance...
You are still going to be in danger.
you are still going to be oppressed by the state more so and we will say that we're doing it for your benefit because we allowed this to happen in the first place and despite saying so we're not actually taking responsibility for it if only there was something that was common between all the people stabbing people with knives that you could was a sort of visual identifier to suggest a common point of origin of these people There are even, say, policies like stop and search that could be used.
But we don't do those anymore for some reason.
And he carries on to finish off by saying, people will say this is all because of immigration or because of funding cuts.
But in truth, neither tells us anything like the full story or explains this case properly.
I think the immigration point.
Does, actually.
He was a violent foreigner who attacked young white girls.
That says all it needs.
Pretty cut and dry, yeah.
More and more people retreating into parallel lives, whether through failures of integration or just a country slowly turning away from itself.
So this is due to de internets and de failure of integration, not because of the fact that he was a violent foreign psychopath who hated the host population of this country.
So that's all of the important stuff from this.
And of course, as I've mentioned, the media has found their...
And they're running with it, which is knife.
Southport Killer admitted carrying a knife more than ten times, and nothing was done to him.
Was it because he was violent?
No, it's because he was carrying a knife.
Let's look at the obviously coordinated newspaper headlines that have come out today.
Total disgrace, he was able to buy a knife on Amazon.
Is it?
It's pretty convenient.
From my experience, I bought a knife from Amazon.
He could have got one from the shop.
He could have got one from his parents' kitchen because he was still living with his parents.
Southport killer got knife on Amazon.
I mean, yeah, he could have just gone to Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, anywhere.
But no, no, no.
We're going to specifically focus that it was done by Amazon because what do we get to do with Amazon?
It's an online service.
So what does that let us do?
Money.
Money and digital ideas.
This was the big one.
The Amazon killer.
How about the Rwandan killer?
Because that's what he is.
He is a foreigner to this land who went out of his way to attack the outgroup.
Yeah, if you were to go off of these headlines, you'd think, oh, well, I've ordered a knife off of Amazon.
It's a miracle I didn't stab...
Plenty of innocent girls at a dance class.
It's the same gin-brained thinking that American liberals have when they start talking about gun laws, because they just think, well, the gun forces you to be violent, right?
No, the gun is a tool the same way a knife is a tool.
That tool is used in different ways by different people, and sadly, disproportionately, different populations use those tools to hurt people.
It's like if you get a spread of all of the faces of American school shooters.
The media would like to highlight you on the one or two where it's a young incel white kid, whereas the vast majority of them are young black kids in inner-city schools.
And that's what happened, but they don't want you to pay attention to that.
But also there is a very abusive narratival structure here because the government is trying to say, well, all of these crimes is your fault.
And the only way for them to be addressed is if your liberties are contracted yet again.
It is worth mentioning as well, there are far more knives in Britain than there are Rwandans or just sub-Saharan Africans more generally.
Surely the more interesting thing of note is the person doing it because they're the rarer thing in the sort of...
You're not allowed to know that.
Yeah.
You're not allowed to notice that.
Of course, again, as a neo-unrealist in the chat has pointed out, evidently in Southport and in Wales, somebody like this would be very difficult to spot.
Yeah, the Welsh look just like that.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, according to the BBC, who knows?
And what are the solutions to this going to be?
Well, it's going to be tougher checks on knife sales fast-tracked after Southport attack.
Online retailers will be forced to ask anyone buying a knife for two types of identification under government plans with buyers asked to submit an identity document, such as a passport, and record a live video to prove their age.
And, of course, if you're able to do both of those things, that means automatically it's safe.
Right?
I mean, even by the government's own standards, what else do they want?
A written note saying, I promise I won't murder anybody with this.
How is any of that going to make a difference?
Realistically, because it's sort of...
It's not solving the problem at the root, it's implementing the government's digital ID policies, because that's what they want.
Because guess what lines up with this just in time, literally...
The same day that a lot of these articles came out, yesterday, Tuesday the 21st of January, digital passports among IDs to be available in UK government app, a further centralization of the government's access to your information, which could easily be manipulated the same way it does in China.
And this technology, it says in this, and it will be launched in June, they tried this out first, they wanted to trial this with COVID. As well, with a lot of the COVID measures that were requiring digital apps to be able to access things.
It was an NHS app, wasn't it?
Yeah.
But this is a full slate of all of the government documents you would need on one app.
It's being billed as being for convenience sake.
And the technology, it says, at the bottom of this article, has been developed...
Specifically, in the last six months since Labour took power, and will include security features that are built into modern smartphones, including facial recognition checks.
So the government's going to have easier access to your information, easier access to, say, your face.
And I've noticed when I've been going into supermarkets recently as well, if you look at the security camera footage that they show as you're walking in, quite a few of them now, you can see it highlighting your face.
So it's scanning your face, which is...
Just feels very, very dystopian.
Also, why are they actually doing that?
Is that for, you know, in case you do something while you're in the store?
Or is that every person who enters, they're running past, you know, criminals that are on the run?
I don't know.
Who knows?
It's not necessarily justified to you why that's going on.
No, they just do it and they expect you to go along with it.
And sadly, a lot of people do.
But of course, the fact that this is all Amazon's fault has been remarked on by a number of people.
In fact, Britain's first most independent journalist...
Kuni Drukpa actually was able to secure a transcript of the interaction between Axel Rudakabana and Jeff Bezos as he personally gave him the knife that he used to murder those children.
Axel Rudakabana saying, I'm mentally ill and want to stab someone but can't purchase a knife out anywhere.
What can I do?
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, here, you can purchase knives to stab people on Amazon.
Wow, thank you, Mr. Bezos.
Without you, I would be unable to stab anybody.
Because, of course, a virus...
Violent child who was able to break somebody's arm in the past using a hockey stick would never have been able to hurt children had he not had access to a specific knife that he bought on Amazon.
Violent psychopaths can't use other things to hurt people, can they?
Especially not young children who are the strongest and most robust people in the world, right?
It's ridiculous.
It's such a stupid narrative.
It's the same trajectory that Germany has been going on.
And they have so many stabbing incidents.
Lots of them are, you know, from the East.
And one of the...
I mean, one of the more notable ones.
Yeah, there was one today.
An anti-Islam activist who got stabbed in the neck.
Yeah, but the response of the government is to say, well, let's ban the knives.
Yeah, but now they also had yet another one today.
As I see, it happened right now, and they say that it's an Afghan who killed two people, one of whom is a two-year-old.
But of course, it's not the problem of foreign Afghans in the country.
It's not the problem of Islam in the country, radicals in the country.
No, it's the fact that you have access to a kitchen tool.
Well, this didn't happen when we didn't have Middle Easterners and Africans in our country.
They're the only ones doing this thing, really.
Homegrown person that does it, but not nearly to the same scale as he's going on now.
No, I mean, the Dunblane school massacre is the one that's always referenced when things like this come up, and because of the Dunblane school massacre...
British people handed in all of their, well, the government forced them to hand in all of their handguns, which were still legal at the time.
And I still think that that was a massive overreach by the government.
But you can understand, in the wake of a tragedy like that, why people would be more willing to go along with it.
This is just kitchen knives.
And it's not even saying, well, kitchen knives are uniquely dangerous.
No.
MavenPolitik has pointed out that there's going to be a great point in the market right now where you're going to need somebody to create something else to cut things in your kitchen, so maybe get on the inventor's chair right now, see what's going on.
And then there's also, as I mentioned, the point of his sentencing.
Tomorrow.
And Charlie Peters pointed out that Asaruda Kapano will face automatic life sentence after pleading guilty to all charges, but he can't qualify for a whole life tariff because he's under 21. He'll have a minimum term set to his sentence after admitting guilt to the Southport murders.
Steve Laws...
Has what I think is going to be the sadly probable outcome to this.
It is pessimistic and cynical, but set your expectations low, you'll never be disappointed, which is that he will be out in 15 years with a new life and identity.
True.
Supposedly his family are already in hiding and probably being set up to have their identities changed because of their connection to this, but unlike somebody like John Venables...
Who even he was stupid enough to continually reveal himself to people after they switched him around the country, gave him new identities.
I doubt that this will have the self-control to maintain a fake identity for very long at all.
Especially what he's done.
People are still after John Venables all these years later.
People are going to be after him because the fury that this inspired will not go away.
It will never go away.
But of course, what actually the reason for all of this is that the government hates us and puts forward services that don't work.
So Southport were really angry.
People living in Southport are really angry that they already knew who this guy was, that he was dangerous.
Supposedly, he was, as they mentioned, a loner.
He was somebody that most people in the community Didn't even know existed, but the authorities did, and they point out in this Longardian article here, again, they already knew that he was obsessed with genocides, he would name every genocide in history and how many people were killed, Rwanda, Genghis Khan, Hitler, is all he wanted to talk about.
Where is it?
One official said the teenager was under the supervision of social services and local authority workers would insist on a police officer being present at their meetings with him.
Neighbours said that they saw police cars outside the family's smart semi-detached home in the village of Banks half a dozen times in the weeks before he attacked the Hartspace Centre five miles away.
One former school friend described him simply as a ticking time bomb.
there are also reports that the week before he did this attack he was attempting to go to his former secondary school to carry out some kind of similar attack but his father stopped the taxi driver from taking him also there is some degree of culpability here when this detail came out of his parents because if you know that he's going to do something like this and you stop him a week before he does this what were they doing?
Did they not call the police on him?
You'd think that...
Hypothetically speaking, by the way, I'm not planning this, but if I were planning to kill multiple people and people in my family were aware of it, in British society it would be normal to be like, well, I know your family, I know I used to care about you, but I don't agree with what you're going to do.
I'm going to have to get the authorities involved.
That's how it works in Britain.
Clearly...
He's not from a culture where that happens.
No.
And regarding his parents, there's a lot of interesting information that's being reported at the moment, and it's unclear how accurate most of it is, because there seems to be connections with his father Alphonse to the Rwandan Patriotic Army, which ended the genocide in 1994. His mother supposedly has some kind of connections to the RPF as well.
Grandfather's family...
We're from Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, but Rudakabana fled with his family to neighbouring Uganda before the genocide.
His mother, it says here, where is it?
Apologies.
Obviously both of them are Tutsi.
Here it is.
Oh, God.
Apologies.
Mother is said to have close links to the current Rwandan regime, too.
Several sources have claimed that she is related to the RPF's general secretary, Welles Gazamagueri.
So, supposedly he was in Uganda and then was privy to or helped the Rwandan Patriotic Army.
End the genocide in 1994, and then suddenly, eight years later, finds himself an asylum seeker in South Wales.
Strange, isn't it?
That's a very strange series of events.
As far as I'm aware, the genocide was over, and things were fine.
And why would people who are supposedly so well connected to the current regime need this asylum?
Yeah, you'd think that they of all people would be able to find a secure way to live, right?
Yeah, the information that's being given, while it seems that most of it's being saying...
Is reported to have been, so it doesn't seem completely set in stone.
Most of it's very strange and unusual.
But that shouldn't take away from the fact that, as far as I'm concerned, we shouldn't be giving people like this refuse in the first place.
I don't think it benefits us as a country.
I don't think it benefits our people.
Evidently, when their children, who are born here...
Are said to be British-Welsh choir boys and then go out and do this kind of thing anyway when the institutions that are supposed to be protecting us already knew that he was a danger, already knew that he was a threat, and didn't do anything anyway.
So this is not about knives.
This is about everything that you expected to be.
Failure of the institutions and a complete failure of the asylum and immigration systems.
There we go.
I'll go through the rumble rants that we've got now.
I didn't tick all of them off.
No, no, no.
That's fine.
I've got it.
Binary Surfer, thank you for sending, says, The average Welsh in Richer currently awaiting sentencing is being used to drive digital ID. Renewed calls for 2F authorisation in Parliament and bill to force it.
One factor will be the digital ID. I think that's two-factor authentication, isn't it?
Yeah.
The Engaged Few says, I wonder if it would be possible to build a large enough trebuchet to send him back to Rwanda.
I'm willing to try.
Yep.
And we can try again and again and again if it fails.
The Binary Surfer again.
Inquiries are not tools for discovering truth and blame.
They're mostly used to cover up the truth.
This has been an open secret since Yes Prime Minister lampooned it 40 years ago.
Engaged few again.
Southport Killer looks like one of the Kazon from Star Trek Voyager.
I don't understand that reference.
I've seen comparisons.
That's very true.
That's a random name.
During his explosive raid in Gringotts in search for one of Klaus Schwab's horcruxes, Harry Weasley spared the life of a single house elf for being one of the good ones.
I'm generous to that.
Neo-Unrealist, I mentioned it earlier, but I'll read it out.
Did your government actually say unironically that Ruda Cabana was difficult to spot in Wales?
I can't recall a more demonic-appearing individual I've seen in recent memory, and I ride the subway in NYC. Please stay safe.
I hope Daniel Penny protects you.
Yeah, I've seen pictures of him out in the wild now and it looks like he's just going about his days, you know, conducting business as normal.
Good for him.
Choking out more people.
That was a great meme that I saw where people were like, do you reckon he just goes up to random black people and says, I'm going to get you, I'm going to get you.
No, I'm only joking.
Be quiet, though.
Wesley1924.
If the person in that mugshot said, the knife told me to do it, I might believe him.
Binary surfer again, UK government policy, please sign up for this totally non-invasive digital ID and record the following video statement.
I swearsies I'm not going to visit Alan's snack bar to use my new cutlery.
Sigilstone17, enriching the...
The Harry lore again.
Harry Weasley was once arrested for posting on the Leaky Cauldron's notice board a living painting of a Mughal joke called Goatsy.
I don't get it.
You're lucky.
The binary surfer again.
Fun fact, a London copper once told me the most common stabbing implement is in fact a sharpened screwdriver, not knives.
If you're carrying one without good reason, it is arrestable.
that's interesting to know Bobo bad good thing I don't live in the UK since all my words are Bobo words and finally 808 grunt with murders, violence and grape gangs I don't understand how the UK hasn't created its own punisher I know Right, do we have any video comments for today?
Brother Samson, do we have video comments?
It looks like it.
Yeah.
There's probably a joke there about the screwdriver thing.
Like, when you're a screw, everything looks like a screwdriver.
Although a screw is a prison officer.
I think more importantly for you, Josh, the engaged few has said, Josh, do not Google Goatsee.
Well, I don't need any more encouragement than that.
I wasn't going to do it anyway.
Let's go to our next video.
This one's for Josh.
One thing that doesn't get mentioned about solar panels and going self-sufficient off-grid is that the more households do that, the bigger the bill will be for grid users who may not afford solar panels and batteries.
Search YouTube for Technology Connections Rooftop Solar for someone who can explain it better.
Nuclear power and more energy-efficient homes would help, but we need the grid.
No, I do agree with that, Ernie.
Thank you for your comment, of course.
I think it's just more that...
I don't like being plugged into anything where someone else can dictate how much money I owe them and the whole energy system where, you know, they're just like, well, we arbitrarily charged you more than you needed to pay this quarter and we're just going to leave £150 sat in your balance that we're going to gain interest on for some reason.
We can't just charge you how much you actually owe us, which is just obviously a rip-off and I don't want to...
The system works.
Let's go to the next video comment.
Thank you very much, and God bless.
It's beautiful.
It's beautiful.
Thank you for sharing that.
And yeah, I think that in rural Washington, isn't there, there's a fair amount of people that are not like the urban people, the Portlanders, right?
Those sorts of people.
And so there is a chance of changing it.
Those people are going to move with wherever that culture moves to next, really.
They're not necessarily wedded to the land in the same way that some more normal people might otherwise be.
So there's always hope.
So let's go to the comments.
Josh, do you want to start?
Of course.
Thane Scotty of Swindon says, This reminds me of Derrida who was saying logic is...
reason is phalogocentric.
What?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Phallocentric, I heard.
No, he was saying phallocentric.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have you never heard feminists saying that?
He's saying only men are logical.
Well, I mean, I agree with him there.
Right.
He's saying you need to think with your penis.
Omar Awad says it is any wonder they worship him.
Who else is more oppressed than Satan?
I suppose so.
Fair play, yeah.
Right.
North FC Zoomer.
The Stelios is back wielding the Onion of Deception.
Let's peel through its layers.
Actually, I've heard that we have news.
We need Onion of Deception merch on the website.
I think they're being developed.
Good.
There you go.
We need to sell our own brand, Onions, as well.
Stelios' Onions.
I don't want a shipment of onions in the office at all times that we have to send out.
It'll be great.
Right.
Lord Nerover, having seen the inauguration and the subsequent actions taken by Trump and his admin, it looks as if someone's taking a fire axe to the carefully constructed emergent global order.
They must be terrified and for good reason.
This may well be the turning point.
Hopefully.
Kevin Fox, Klaus Schwab's idea of being preventive is making sure they have stockpiled enough vaccines before they release the virus.
That's exactly his idea.
Or the modus operandi.
Klaus Schwab does seem like the kind of guy who has a button on his desk that releases the hounds, doesn't he?
Jethro Evans, I will not be dictated to by prey about what I eat.
Well, there's no reason to lower our position in the food chain.
We're going to be eaten.
Right, Alpha of the Betas.
Klaus Schwab's short-term pressure is the Trump administration and he's saying keep your eyes on the long-term goals.
Trump will be gone one day.
Klaus is in his 80s.
He'll be dead soon anyway.
It's true.
He's not looking good, is he?
Also, there's a good name here.
Harry's shoplifting protein powder from Home Bargains.
He says, of all our ideological enemies, from left-wing intellectuals to international groups to Antifa, nothing of these scare me as much as the WEF and their elite allies do.
All the others are entirely obvious to all, but the WEF work in the dark while having the confidence to publicly state their intention.
If their arrogance isn't unfounded, then we're in a very bad place.
Harry, do you want to go to...
Yeah, I'll read a few.
Omar Awad, it's my bet that the knives going on stabbing sprees aren't going to have ID. If the knife is tied to an ID, it either won't be the identity of the stabber or won't be recorded somehow.
Almost certainly.
The same way that if you have to go through a load of hoops to get a gun in America, guess what?
All the criminals are going to get illegal guns anyway because they're criminals.
Harry Shoplifting Protein Powder from Home Bargains says Breaking news, the government has banned pencils after a man dressed as clown commits murder with one The Illegal Truth says Why isn't Alphonse Rudicabana on trial as well?
It was reported that he stopped Axel from going to his old school a week beforehand and committing the same crime He was said to have pleaded with the taxi driver not to drive him But did not call the police or anyone else to report this To me, that makes him as responsible as the murderer That's your point, Josh Right there.
Glad to see that other people are taking note of that as well.
And, uh, last one, basic base tape.
Welcome to the UK where we are on a mission to make negative emotions illegal.
After trying and failing to criminalize hate, we are now focusing our attentions on loneliness.
How dare you be lonely, you criminal scum?
Funny thing is, we're such a negative bunch over here.
We love a whinge and a complain and a moan, and yet we're trying to outlaw all the bad emotions.
We're going to be emotionless.
We're going to be German soon.
Right, and on that note, our podcast has come to an end.
Visit us tomorrow at 1pm and see...
What we're gonna have to say about all the world being destroyed, but also the world being renewed, because we are talking about creative destruction here.
Goodbye.
