CONTACT ME: Email: paranaughtica@gmail.com Twitter: @paranaughtica Facebook: The Paranaughtica Podcast Hello and Welcome! Today, we are having a disorganized discussion on some current topics that are going around the Town Square. It's crazy. Cricket is here to tell us how it is and what is 'really' going on behind the curtain of questionable stupidity......that's my statement, not his, and I honestly don't think it makes any sense. But hey! .....welcome! Truly, this is a great discussion about some of the stupidity that surrounds us. NPCs seem like a real phenomenon. Tune in, this will be awesome!!! ***If you’d like to help out with a donation and you’re currently listening on Spotify, you can simply scroll down on my page and you’ll see a button to help me out with either a one-time donation or you can set up a monthly recurring donation.

When you pitch an idea, the thought, you know, somebody might nix this project 80% of the way through because they decide they don't like your stuff just kind of forces you to be as inoffensive and milquetoast as possible.
Whereas like 10 years ago, the same thing was enforced mostly through the cancellation of games through overt censorship.
Because I actually remember, have you ever heard of the old Gamergate scandal?
People don't really think of it as relating to censorship, but it actually very much does.
Because that's the other part of the back channels.
GameStop? Oh no, not the GameStop thing.
Gamergate was about a scandal where a bunch of gaming journalism articles were basically written to favorably review a game, and then it came out that they were sleeping with the dev, and there was a big stink,
and it ended up being this huge other side of me too.
A bunch of...
And that's what I was saying, the back-channel part of censorship is that part where you've got dozens of people writing coordinated hit pieces attacking one person, and you just know that they didn't all suddenly decide to get mad at this guy and write the same article at the same time.
Oh, no, absolutely, dude.
Like, they send out telecoms, like, okay, we gotta talk shit about this, we gotta say this is bad, this is bad, everybody.
New York Post, you know, Washington Journal, come on.
Yeah, exactly.
Rally them up.
Yeah, one guy comes out with an article with some real news and suddenly every other media article has a hit piece on them.
It's the part of censorship that people don't ever really consider.
It's the part where you're just getting flooded with so much of one side of the story that the other side just gets buried.
So yeah, they're not flooding you up.
But they're effectively shutting you up because no one can hear you.
Yeah, it's like astroturfing, you know, putting out so much disinformation, basically, misinformation, and there's just so much of it.
It just, that's all you see, so that's what you think you're learning, and you think it's the right thing.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a lot easier to get your narrative to stick if there is no counter-narrative to stick to defeat it.
So, basically, as long as nobody else ever gets exposed to the counter-narrative, it effectively doesn't exist.
And if there's 34 articles where you've got to search, you know, to, like, the six-page of results before you get anybody saying any different, I mean, honestly, like, even well-informed people, most of them aren't going to take that kind of effort when you've got hundreds of bits of factoids coming at you every day.
That's a great point, man.
Everyone just looks at the first page of results because they think that's the best.
Information right there.
The first page has got the best information, but it's like, no, you got to go down about 40, 50, 60 pages to get some actual independent research.
The thing that people need to start accepting is that those stopped being the best results when they started becoming the best paid results.
And, you know, money for corrupting it.
And then you also got the government whispering in their ear and sending them emails saying basically, hey, you should deprioritize this story and whatnot.
And so, yeah, effectively all that stuff just ends up disappearing to most people.
Exactly it.
What do you think about the whole TikTok ban thing?
I was kind of torn about it simply because, well, they seemed so eager to do it.
I felt like this surely has to be some kind of Trojan horse.
I mean, you just look bipartisan, then everyone's getting screwed.
Yeah, yeah.
And yeah, it's so obvious why they want to ban TikTok.
I mean, it isn't because it's a Chinese-owned company.
I mean, that's one thing, because think about this.
What was before that?
What was that eight-second thing that lasted for a while?
Vine, I think?
Yeah, Vines.
Very popular.
Came and went.
Yeah, and that was American-made, and it disappeared.
And then TikTok comes around, it's Chinese-owned, and America's like, we gotta get rid of this, because they want it for themselves, because they want to buy it, right?
Yeah. Like, they said, we won't ban it if you just sell it to us.
And yeah, it is a spying app.
Obviously, all these apps are.
Twitter is.
Twitter's a huge CIA spying app, just like Facebook.
I mean, they're all government-regulated.
Without us knowing, it's like you're saying, the backdoor-frontdoor thing, like in programming, whatever.
Oh, yeah.
Because they're not talking about it, it means it's not happening, you know?
Yeah, pretty much.
They got the courageous news journalists who will bravely not write any articles they tell them not to on the front end, making sure none of that info gets out.
And then they got all the censorship on the back end, banning people and silencing them.
Between the back end and the front end, not a whole lot of info really gets through.
I mean, it's broken through at this point, but that's primarily due to the fact that it just got too absurd.
At some point, you just can't keep all of the plates spinning, and one of them's going to fall.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm looking at this article right here by, let's see, Al Pais.
Under Elon Musk, Twitter has approved 83% of censorship requests by authoritarian governments.
And this is by Maria Antonia Sanchez-Vallejo from May 24, 2023.
The social network has restricted and withdrawn content critical of the ruling parties in Turkey and India, among other countries, including during electoral campaigns.
Huh, interesting.
We're in an election cycle.
Since Elon Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion, the social network has turned down few requests for content restriction or censorship from countries like Turkey and India.
Turkey's hella censored, we all know that.
Oh yeah.
We all know that.
And India.
But we need to be talking about America.
What's going on in America?
It's just insane.
Oh, for sure.
I mean, our censorship is more relevant to us.
I mean, it is important to look out there and look at those things, because that's where they'd like to put us.
That's where they'd like to put us.
So when you look at, you know, they censor the ruling regime's government, I'm sure they'd love to put that into place.
It would just, you know, at this point, they would fail if they tried, so they won't.
Yeah. That's the trick I always have.
When people are thinking there's no hope and whatnot, I always have to tell people the nature of propaganda works this way.
An actual king who's actually in power and just has a boot on your neck doesn't actually need to tell you.
You know.
He never needs to make an edict.
He doesn't need town criers announcing that he's the ruler and nobody should mess with him.
No, the people are going to enforce it and say, no, you don't mess with the king.
He'll kill you.
Realistically, the purpose of propaganda is mostly the fact that they don't actually hold all the cards and all the power.
And so they have to tell you that they do to kind of snow you into not bothering to say anything.
Because it's a lot easier to censor somebody who just shuts themselves up.
Under threat of cancel or, you know, we'll make your life miserable.
We'll put hit pieces out on you.
Just so much shit.
Yeah, like, I just keep hearing the whole gloom and doom from the more mainstream, like, podcasts and such, saying, oh, no, nothing, everything's bad, we're all doomed, and I'm just like, you're just spreading the propaganda around.
You're just laundering it so it doesn't sound as stupid as when the government says it.
Yeah, and, like, this podcast here, dude, like, I cover a lot of, like, government cover-ups and shit, which all needs to be exposed.
I talk a lot about the older ones that people seem to have forgotten or don't even know about, especially now, dude.
Nobody looks into that stuff unless they're older like us and have lived through a lot of this stuff, have a lot more experience.
And these younger groups, I don't think they really care about what's happened before because so much is happening right now.
But check this out.
This is from Forbes, dude.
Twitter has complied with, let's see, out of 900...
And 71 government requests that Twitter received for censorship purposes.
808 of them were complied with.
Oh my god.
And I wanted to touch on what you said about the countries like Turkey and stuff.
Like these other countries are almost like a testing ground to see how things work.
And then they bring them to the United States.
You know what I mean?
In Canada, look at the censorship up there.
Holy shit.
I mean, they'd never even had free speech in their legislation, right?
Like we do in the United States.
Really demonstrates that it's a whole lot more than just a goddamn piece of paper, huh?
Yeah. But now it's like they can't even criticize the government or FISA under the threat of going to jail.
And that soon will come here.
The same with Australia.
They do.
Radical shit in Australia.
Like right now, they're killing all these fucking bees and chickens and cattle because of flu, the fucking, what, bird flu?
And so this is just a testing ground there to see, oh, look, we stamped out bird flu by killing all of our livestock.
Now you guys don't have to worry about taking a shot or losing your job or being stuck inside for years on end because we eradicated the problem.
And so that's what the United States is going to do very soon.
They're going to come to us and say, look, everybody, we have ultimatum.
Either this bird flu is going to kill all of you, and we'll probably have a hand in that because we created it and spread it.
Oopsie. Or we can avoid a shutdown and all this cancel stuff and losing your jobs and this and that if we just kill all these infected chickens and cattle, which is our main protein, man.
This is our main protein source.
And so I feel that's what's going to happen pretty soon.
And then within probably later this year or by next year, they're going to try to implement this stuff because they're doing it in Australia and they're going to get by and say, this was a great idea.
Even though the majority of people are like, no, this is not a good idea.
But it just goes to show who's really in power, man.
The government, this tyrannical government all around the world are the ones controlling shit.
And we're supposed to be able to, like the people are supposed to have an opinion.
To put into the government and what they do.
In my 40 years of living and the, what, like, I don't know, 25 of it where I paid attention to politics and shit, the people never get what they want.
And slowly we just get sliced down to a stump, man.
Like, we have no freedoms anymore, dude.
It's like this fake idea of freedom.
Like a prison planet.
Oh, like the website.
I used to go there back in the day.
Yeah, I haven't been there in years.
I don't know.
I mean, I listen to Alex Jones, but I don't buy his supplements.
I don't buy anything from Alex Jones.
I don't listen to his stuff.
I always read his print stuff.
I preferred the print media because in person he was always so melodramatic.
I always felt like he was, if anything, discrediting everything he said.
That was always my main trouble with him.
He was right all the time, but he was always so frantic about it.
That it was way too easy to dismiss him as the crazy preacher with the megaphone.
True, true.
So I almost felt like he was there to kind of de-launder conspiracy theories that were getting too close to being proven to kind of convince people to stay away from him as they became more and more likely to be true.
Because, ew, the gross guy that's yelling about stuff believes that.
You don't want to believe that, do you?
Yeah, you don't want to be a conspiracy theorist.
Yeah, that's a good point, man.
Like, you make him look really crazy, so you're like, oh, God.
That was always a couple of shows like Ancient Aliens, too.
Like, they get all these experts and stuff, and yet, what is the one picture everybody thinks of from Ancient Aliens is that one guy who, realistically, is a PhD, but the picture of him just makes him look permanently stoned.
Yeah, Succalos or whatever, he's just like, ugh, his eyes are half open, his hair's all crazy, yeah.
And I just think to myself, it's like you almost intentionally made yourself look disheveled to discredit what you were saying.
Like, you almost look so ridiculous, because I'm thinking to myself, you know, if he was all, like, buttoned up and dressed up and everything, what he was saying would sound a lot less silly.
Yeah, okay, so take someone like Alex Jones, but, like, he's been true, like, 90%, I mean, real and correct 90% of the time, right?
But the way he comes off is kind of like off-putting, right?
But, like, take everything that he does.
And, like, who's the painter?
Bob Ross?
Is that the painter?
Yeah. With the afro?
Yeah, the painter used to do the five-minute paintings with the happy trees.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, those aren't mistakes.
Those are just Burt's.
Or someone like Mr. Rogers or something.
Like, say someone that's calm, with a calm demeanor, saying stuff like Alex Jones.
Given the information that Alex Jones is giving, but without the attitude, how would that come off?
Like, very soft-spoken, the government's going to kill you.
They're actively spraying chemicals in the sky to, well, destroy your immune system so you're sick all the time.
And big pharma can come in and give you medication that you think is going to help you, but really it's just killing you faster.
It's like there's a healthy medium.
Like, you have to have the passion to get it through people.
Because that stuff, it's hard not to care about such things.
They tend to be rather upsetting things.
They're very upsetting.
Like, when I start talking about this shit, I get angry.
Because it's all around us.
And there's nothing we can really do about it.
And getting angry is not really a solution, you know?
It partly is to get you, like, encouraged to do something about it, but then, like I said, there's really nothing we can do about them spraying chemicals in the sky.
Like, what can we do?
Oh, yeah.
Luckily, Tennessee, you know, it really does.
And, like, especially if you misdirect it or don't know how to handle it, like, people go crazy and they start doing stupid shit, like, shooting people.
Yes. So you always got to...
Balance yourself.
Which, that is also part of the U.S. government's tactics in the CIA, is cause dissent among the people and confusion and anger.
It creates mass shootings, which they want, because they politically benefit off of those.
Well, I mean, they have the whole time.
Yeah. And realistically, they don't even really want to go for the whole full confiscation thing because it provides them way too convenient a news story to throw out there anytime they need something to disappear.
If something comes out that's really, really damaging to them, well, suddenly violence erupts.
This happened.
We gotta talk about this for the next
Yep, bury it.
Bury it with something very emotional, emotionally distracting for the people.
I thought the best illustration of that over the past couple years was that shooting in Nashville last year, where it really demonstrated that if they don't want to talk about it,
they don't.
They buried that manifesto so deep that it only now is just coming out.
It actually just came out a few weeks ago.
And so it really demonstrated that when they do splatter that stuff all over the news, it's because they want you to look at it.
Yep. Yeah.
And why do they want you to look at it?
You know?
Was that Nashville?
Was that a transgender shooter as well?
Oh, yes.
Yeah, okay.
There have been so many of those.
So many.
So interesting.
That one in particular was very scandalous because of the manifesto being withheld.
The stink behind it was a lot worse due to that.
Once it came out, it was exactly as awful as everyone presumed it was, though.
So the presumption was correct.
And this makes you wonder, man, like, when they withhold something like that for so long, they have all that time to manipulate it.
So you can only imagine what they've done to manipulate it.
They can manipulate anything, dude.
Oh, yeah.
Handwriting? I mean, even though handwriting analysis isn't even, like, it's not like a provable science, I guess I can say.
Handwriting analysis.
Like, you can fake anything.
Oh yeah, it's tricky that way.
Quite a few things are mostly based off of, well, we got the experiment to work a few times, so let's just assume it works every time.
And then when you do extensive study on it, yeah, you almost can never bear it completely out.
But by that point, you got a whole industry built behind it.
Which basically is the point.
Everything can be good in small amounts and small...
Small things.
Everything becomes corrupt once it goes to the industry level.
Like, back in the day, most entertainment companies actually just wanted to tell a story.
It was a lot of passionate people writing stuff that they cared about.
And then over time, it ended up just becoming a vehicle to sell people crap, commercials, etc., etc.
And same thing happened to gaming.
It started out mostly individuals wanting to do stuff.
Nowadays, it's mostly people wanting to milk franchises to death and reboot the exact same stuff they had 20 years ago.
Absolutely. Man, can you believe GTA 6 cost them $2 billion to make?
Oh, wow.
Rockstar? Rockstar, you know?
Oh my god, dude.
$2 billion to make this game, GTA 6?
It's fucking crazy.
Oh, yeah.
And the only reason they got that much money to slush on it in the first place is because of all the money they made off of their online mode.
That's why they resisted even making this evil for this time.
It's so much easier to just sell virtual currency for the game you've already developed.
Isn't that crazy?
People literally buy fake digital money in stupid games.
What was that, Farmerville or something?
That early one on Facebook?
People are spending thousands of dollars on the fake currency in Farmville to buy farming equipment.
What is going on, man?
Yeah, and some of it was just to farm your imaginary crops quicker.
To what end?
Monetization started out in the free-to-play market as a way to get people that were really obsessed with the game to basically support free games.
But nowadays, you can spend $60 and then they'll sell you virtual currency.
Yeah, dude.
It's so sad.
It just keeps you glued.
Keeps you inside.
Keeps you out of nature.
Just keeps you docile.
Keeps you away from doing research.
Keeps you away from the real world.
That's why I gave up gaming, dude.
I had the PS4 when it first came out and the GTA that came along with it.
And I literally played it for like two months.
And what was it?
Like 2012 or something?
2013 or whatever.
And I was like, dude, I can't do this.
Like, I need to go do productive things outside.
I need to be hiking or something.
Like, I just, I gave up gaming because I just felt like I was wasting my life.
Well, yeah, you do too much of anything, it's a waste of life.
I mean, most of it's about, like, basically, are you deriving enjoyment from it?
If you're thinking you're wasting your life, you're clearly not.
Yeah, for sure.
You're getting to the point where you're doing it as a habit rather than for fun.
That's definitely the thing you needed to give it up, for sure.
Yeah, and people are making six figures gaming.
You make six figures while gaming.
You just have to either be really good at it or be really good at commentary.
That's a lot of it.
Basically, the people that make a lot are usually the ones that people aren't even paying attention to what they're playing.
They're just listening to them.
True. Oh, yeah, like the live gameplay on YouTube and stuff.
That's insane.
Thousands of people just watch somebody play a game and talk while they're playing the game.
So they're literally just sitting there watching that happen.
That's intense.
That's fucking intense.
I'd say from a spiritual standpoint, it represents a lot more people passively experiencing reality rather than taking control of their own.
Because now we've got the one person playing the game, they're making things happen, they're doing things, they're making the reality.
But you've got 3,000 other people just passively experiencing their reality.
It's like a brain drain on creativity.
And then these virtual reality goggles that will soon come and everyone's going to be walking around the streets with that crap.
I mean, I haven't tried one yet.
I do want to try one just to see what it's like, obviously, because it's crazy.
It's technology.
But man, I would never buy one.
That's just like getting the mark of the beast on your freaking forehead.
The tech really isn't caught up to where a lot of the rest of the gaming market is.
The one I played, it looked basically like mid-90s game era.
Like the old click-to-move games and stuff.
Yeah, like Doom era.
It was somewhat 3D with flat-shaded textures and such.
Doom era, Mario 64, that level of tech.
It wasn't really as impressive as I thought it was going to be.
My thing is...
One thing they're not going to get away from and it's just going to get worse is the nausea because as it gets more realistic, that's just going to become more of a problem.
Basically, as your brain has a harder and harder time distinguishing it from actual spatial reality, the more your stomach is going to say, I don't like this.
But yeah, the little VR headsets and whatnot.
What's a lot scarier are the ones they talk about where you implant them.
I don't mind putting on a headset I can take off, because I can take that headset off, but no.
Don't put nothing in me.
No, we're not doing Matrix shit.
Fuck all that.
Neuralink, all that.
That's all where that's heading, dude.
They are pushing that.
It's nuts, because they come up with an idea, they make a movie about it, and then they make it a reality.
Part of the recent frustration is that, you know, I told you about the whole veil-breaking thing.
Part of that is, well, the mesmerism for creating realities through this whole, like, mass propaganda thing just doesn't work as good as it used to.
Because people think more independently now.
More or less, you cried wolf one too many times, but realistically, it's almost more like a spell's been broken.
Because, honestly...
This info has always been out there.
It's always been BS.
You always could have disproven it.
But now people are starting to come around to accepting that it's wrong.
And that's a huge step.
Yeah, true.
What's the end here?
Well, I mean, the end result is the total loss of confidence, which, honestly, any level of control cannot sustain at that point.
You can have people locked in their rooms, have chips in their heads.
If they have no confidence in you, you're still screwed.
So what they're trying to do right now is restore that confidence.
And it's not working very well because, well, it doesn't work very well every time.
But the veil-breaking was a change.
That's a little different.
That's a little bit of a shift.
Because... See, the real thing that people are having a hard time with was actually talking about this stuff confidently.
And I've run into a lot of it lately.
It's like they ain't scared no more.
And so you can't come back from that point because if you just introduce a whole bunch of like, you know, you can't say this and that and censorship laws from there, you've already got the noncompliance baked right into the system.
It's going to fail.
Yeah, dude.
The transition from them trying to censor everything and us just passively standing by and following it, that's going to be a rough transition.
How will they accomplish that?
Well, I mean, it's been a gradual thing.
The trick you have to keep in mind is that, you know, in actuality, this has been happening over the course of, like, the past eight or so years.
Like, the level of censorship that the internet had...
is actually significantly less than it did before.
That's why governments are having to step in.
Because that's the trick, because these are desperation moves.
These are what you call hard power weak moves.
Actually, strong moves are what you call soft power.
Soft power is when your friend says, hey, you shouldn't post that.
That might get you in trouble and ostracized by the community.
Weak power is when the government has to tell you to do it.
If your neighbor's stopping you, Then you're in power.
But if your neighbor says, well, no, screw them.
You should post that.
Well, then, yeah, you've got a whole different dynamic.
So basically, like COVID censorship, the harassment, a lot of that wasn't government.
That was people shutting each other up.
That's the soft power.
That's real power.
They don't have that anymore.
And now they're trying to use the overt and external power.
Which, well, that just doesn't work because people don't sincerely believe it.
Like, you're not going to go to North Korea and find that they sincerely love Kim Jong-un.
Yeah, for sure.
Everybody cries when he passes away.
It's this huge, this devastating event.
But I'll bet at least 95% of them are secretly thinking, yeah, he was a bastard.
I think they're still scared to even think about it.
They're just like, should I think this?
He's listening to me.
It's nuts.
Yeah, and that's what they want to do, man.
That's what they're trying to do.
Neuralink? What the hell do you think Neuralink is going to end up being?
Like, yeah, okay, they're touting it off as being, this is going to be great for paralyzed people or blind people or this or that.
And that's the way to get it into people's purview and accept it.
And then it's going to just transpire into a very, very, very malevolent thing.
You know what I mean?
Oh, I know.
We're talking like decades down the line here.
It's the progression of tech.
It's why I follow neotechnologic idealism, which is the theory that technology should be shared because when technology is hoarded, it becomes negative energy.
Because once things become shared tech, there's no rope conglomerate that owns every rope in the world, for example.
Bow and arrow conglomerate that owns every design to every bow.
But you know, there are huge companies that control massive amounts of data where they're the only company.
And so that's a huge deal.
But in the end, it's just the bow and arrow all over again.
All technology starts out with an ostentable purpose and gets corrupted for harm.
The guy tells you, look how well you'll hunt.
You'll be able to kill that deer from all the way over there.
Two days later, you're laying down dead with two arrows in the back of your head.
But, you know, what great tech?
But you're talking like open source.
Like technology should be all open source.
So everyone has the code and go in there and look at it and change it and fix it and document it.
Like Tor, like the Onion Router.
It's open source, even though it was created by...
I forget exactly.
DARPA? I think DARPA made it.
You know, government.
Yeah, they created it originally.
But yeah, just in general, open-sourcing technology ideas keeps them from becoming, well, concentrated forces of power over time.
Like, a lot of what's wrong with all this tech that we have isn't the tech.
You know, we aren't scared of a robot army coming to kill us.
We're scared of the fact that evil people might get a robot army.
Yeah, and who's creating robot armies right now?
Some of the worst people.
Some of the worst people.
And that's going to be scary, man.
I don't like the fact that they are literally creating robots that can move quicker than humans and can dance and do all this crazy shit.
They're operating weaponry and these suicide drones.
The future of warfare is going to be suicide drones and other drones.
God damn, we have no chance, man.
We need guns with nets.
Like, how can we shoot these things out of the sky?
How can we protect ourselves?
It scares me.
Honestly, it does.
Oh, yeah.
It's freaky stuff.
Because this is how I think about it.
By the time when the government is finally, like, coming after us individually is, like, when you and I are going to be in our 70s or something, where we're, like, we have no fight left in us, right?
So it's going to suck for us.
Oh, yeah.
We get the worst of it.
And plus, we won't have Social Security either.
Because they're going to take that away by the time we're allowed to get it.
By the time we're 60, 70, whatever it is now.
It's going to be gone.
Oh yeah, they'll have completely wiped it out by then.
I'm honestly amazed that we still have it.
It's supposed to go dry back in the 2000s, but they keep mailing it.
Yeah, I forget who was it that was really pushing to get rid of it.
I know Hillary Clinton, I think, was trying to get rid of it.
But it's been going on for a long time.
They've been trying to get rid of that for a long time.
But I still have some hope when it comes to the negative technology thing, just simply because all of that stuff requires a whole lot of agreement to get there, that you have to get long before there's a robot dog chasing you down.
And honestly, people are already in the distrust segment, and that's where we need to be.
Everybody keeps talking about a high-trust society and whatnot and how we need to trust everything.
And I'm like, no.
Truth does not need trust.
Truth does not need you to believe it.
Truth is there anyways and needs to be tested because that's how we figure out it's truth in the first damn place.
So it's like all these people saying that you should trust automatically.
No. Distrust by default and then confirm they're not lying.
Then you can trust after you verify.
Basically, the reverse of the Reagan one.
Trust after verification.
Yeah, that's going to be hard to gain trust in the government, man.
I don't think a lot of people will ever get there after what they've done.
A lot of people still trust them, and that's basically the only power they've got left.
But if everyone just operated on every decision under the...
I always like acronyms.
I always understood the whole ACAB one, the principle behind it.
Even if you're serving properly, you're still representing a system that allows corrupt people to bullshit.
But I find ADTG is better.
Always distrust the government.
That's one that can be true all the time for all governments everywhere.
The best ones, the worst ones, the sleaziest ones.
Because any honest government is not going to be harmed by distrust.
If you say, let me look at your books, they'll open their books, say, our books are good.
You'll say, yes they are.
Boom. Distrust doesn't hurt honesty.
It only affects the dishonest.
Absolutely. See, Americans don't trust one another.
They don't trust the government.
This mistrust is so pervasive that it can feel natural, but it isn't.
Okay, what's this?
Jedediah Britton Purdy, The Atlantic.
Trust isn't something that emerges naturally from a well-functioning society.
People have to build it through hard work.
This is earlier this year, 2024.
Americans don't trust one another and they don't trust the government.
The mistrust is so pervasive that it can feel natural, but it isn't.
Profound distrust has arisen within my lifetime.
It is intensifying and it threatens to make democracy impossible.
That's one of a series of articles I've seen that all say the same thing.
Why don't you distrust the government?
Or why do you distrust the government?
How can the government work with your distrust?
Because if you're not pulling shady crap, we won't find anything.
There you go.
There's your answer, Atlantic.
It's basically like the guy getting caught in the vault and saying, well, if you all weren't so distrusting, you'd have never known I was skimming off the top.
Yeah, right?
You should have just trusted me.
People say that trusting automatically is a spiritual positive.
And I say, no, that's not true.
We weren't designed to trust things automatically.
That's not how nature trained us.
Nature doesn't train you to eat the berry and then maybe not die.
Nature trains you to watch another animal eat the berry and start throwing up and go, I shouldn't eat that berry.
Yeah, that's going to be the next TikTok challenge thinking of whatever the hell that shit is.
The Tide, what was that, the Tide Challenge?
They're eating Tide Pods or something?
Up until the challenge, it hadn't actually been a problem.
People weren't eating their Tide Pods.
And then suddenly somebody thought, hey, you know how we're not eating Tide Pods?
We should start eating Tide Pods.
And everyone looked at that guy and said, yeah, that's a brilliant idea.
We should do that.
That's so cool.
I'll get so many views.
Awesome. I'll get so many views.
The EMTs are totally going to ask for a sub.
Why would you eat a Tide Pod?
Why the hell would you eat a Tide Pod?
Apparently YouTube is taking down clips.
YouTube is like, no, we've got to get rid of these clips.
I'm surprised they keep them up.
That's the really crazy thing, and it shows how the censorship is so bogus.
They have to take those down now.
Those were never not self-harm clips.
There was never a point where somebody eating a Tide Pod was not hurting yourself.
Exactly. So all you have to do then is like take a knife, like a cutter, like cutters, you know, people who cut themselves.
They're like, I'm not doing self-harm.
This is just a challenge.
They're like laughing.
Could that get around the self-harm thing?
I actually think, well, realistically, we know it can because up until...
Very recently, when the scandal came down, they hadn't taken down any of those Tide Pod Challenge videos, and those are awesome.
That's true.
That's true.
I put some ad on a podcast guest thing or something.
I was looking for a guest, and it was about Sandy Hook.
I was just like, does anybody want to talk about Sandy Hook?
Are there any conspiracy theorists out there who are willing to talk about Sandy Hook?
And I got...
90-plus just, you motherfucker, this, that, go kill yourself, I hope they come after you like they went after Alex Jones, this and that, just the worst shit they could possibly say to me.
And all I said was, looking for someone who wants to talk about it.
Like, I'm just ears, and I want to hear what other people want to say about it, because questions do need to be answered about that shit.
Everyone needs to understand that.
There are many questions that are like, no, we need answers to this.
And then so many people were reporting me, and I just was constantly like, dude, this is just free speech.
I'm not trying to harm anybody.
I'm not talking shit.
I'm not saying it happened.
I'm not saying it didn't happen.
All I'm saying is that it needs to be talked about.
And I didn't get kicked out.
I didn't get censored.
I did not even get censored.
And the administrators in the group were like, no, you're...
Completely fine.
That's completely fine.
And I was like, thank you so much.
You guys understand free speech.
Thank you.
That's what you call the soft power.
They were trying to force censorship via social shunning.
Yes. And I won it.
Alone. Fair and square.
Those bastards.
Yep, I like the quote here.
My favorite quote about Sandy Hook that I ever heard was this one.
That story made me really upset.
Which, in hindsight, was exactly the intention behind it.
Damn! Like, basically, somebody who, at the time, was really mad and didn't want anyone to talk about it because, you know, you're making people mad, you're disrespecting them, etc., etc.
In hindsight, like, after everything happened and the lawsuits and everything, I was made to feel that way.
I was forced into feeling that way.
And every, like, little bit of record, I was going to say, and every person who recognizes that point is going to tip away at that edifice a little bit more.
When I first saw that in the news, I was just like, no.
Like, what the fuck is this?
Where are the dead kids?
Like, where, why does everything seem off?
Why is that school closed down?
Why is it already boarded up?
Like, what's going on here?
Who is this second person running through the woods?
And why only that one?
Why are all these other school shootings aired all the time?
Judging by my recent experiences, apparently all truth must come out in this era.
That's exactly it.
I mean, this is an era of truth.
What is it?
Kutalini?
Kali Yuga was the shortest one that was the most disastrous and most peaceful one.
Yes. Yeah.
Yeah. Even though, even though we're going to be seeing a civil war and just complete disaster pretty soon.
So we're at like the tail end of it, apparently.
Well, you know, balance has to be restored and things are extremely unbalanced.
Extremely unbalanced.
What do you think about like the Ukraine bullshit?
Oh, all of that.
Highly profitable for everyone involved.
Except for the poor people who live there.
Raytheon's making them killing over there, right?
All these government contractors, weapons manufacturers.
I thought it was really interesting how pro-war everybody suddenly got when we went in there.
I'm like, boy.
I know.
Y'all love this all the time.
It's just crazy that people advocate for murder and death.
I don't understand it.
I am not into any of that.
I hate war.
I hate murder.
I hate death.
And a lot of people say, well, it's not really murder.
We're soldiers.
We're fighting.
Dude, fuck all that, man.
To go overseas to a foreign country to kill people.
The best people we serve are always the ones who don't want to be there.
The best thing you can be as a soldier is wanting to go home to your family and wanting peace to start.
I have mad respect for military people, like a lot of them, but a lot of them are just really, really, really bad people.
I mean, my grandfather, I come from a military family.
He saw the shit.
They saw the shit.
And I respect those people, but man...
That should be the real goal of every soldier.
Right. That's why, realistically, that's why the whole I want to go kill people attitude is more concerning to me.
Less so than the sociopath aspect of I just want to hurt someone.
The more concerning thing is your priority is not I want this to be over so I can go home to my family, which should be a real goal.
That should be the goal.
And I've talked to a few soldiers on this show who are just pissed at the government for doing what they've done to people.
I'm going to be posting a couple of those soon, eventually.
But, you know, the purpose of being an American soldier in the military summit is to protect the homeland.
To protect the homeland, the United States of America.
You should be here protecting this country.
So why are we sending all of our troops to foreign countries to fight?
Other people's battles.
That's where it comes down to everything is goddamn corrupt.
Well, I mean, that's why there's such a recruiting shortfall.
I mean, what a hard sell.
I mean, anybody going in, honestly, at this point, you're probably thinking, I'm not even going to get to kill people.
I'm going to be probably doing some kind of support role and basically sitting at a computer or something.
A lot of the people right now are pretty much doing it because...
Well, it's a better-paying job than you can get for most other stuff.
Yeah, a lot of it is just get the money for college and all of that, and they get out.
Some of them get stuck, unfortunately.
It's called the poverty draft.
Don't have to draft.
They'll sign up willingly no matter where you're sending them.
They know they ain't saving here, but they're still going to sign up, not even because they want to go fight in Afghanistan.
But because they want to fight their own financial ruin.
And they're having a mad shortage of, yeah, recruitment, like you said.
I recently did a show about some of that, and they're really trying to recruit a lot of people for psyops, for literal psychological operations and computer warfare.
So that's worrisome.
That's very worrisome.
Everything's going digital and tech, and that's where the warfare is.
So yeah, there are going to be stations of just people with an Xbox controller or whatever, flying drones and airplanes, and just playing a live, real-life video game where it's killing real people.
Yeah, it's all very cyberpunk.
That's what these video games, like Call of Duty, it gets you to be okay with killing people, you know?
It's getting people to be like, this is just a video game.
So you put someone behind a screen who's already kind of a bit of a sociopath, and they're like, this is just a video game.
I mean, because the graphics on these games are like mad awesome, right?
Well, that's the trick.
Yeah, exactly.
It's to numb you to just accept the real-life version.
Well, you get somebody, you know, playing COD.
You try and slap them out in the desert with an M4 and say, go get them.
Yeah, they're not going to be able to parallel the experience, but you stick them behind the controls of a drone, it's practically the same level of disconnect.
Exactly. Yeah, put them on the ground with the real weapons.
Oh, God.
Yeah, things get real, real fast, and suddenly they don't want to play no more.
That's like the video, man.
Just that video coming out of, I think, Ukraine or Russia, but they're literally sending in, like, mentally retarded people?
Oh, yeah.
It's very similar.
They have no one else to send.
I mean, they've had almost a year of jumping people off the streets and dragging them in and pressing them into service.
So, getting to the point where the people they're dragging can't even fight back, and you're just asking yourself, what is even the point of assigning this person here?
They aren't going to serve any kind of offensive or defensive thing.
They're literally just going to occupy a space for a few seconds.
It makes me wonder if they send those types of people out as a sort of culling, you know what I mean, to take those people out of the gene pool?
Yeah, I'm just thinking to myself, is that the Ukrainian healthcare system?
I mean, like, you've been invited to take part of our medical assistance in dying program.
Oh, wait, no, our military assistance in dying program.
Go stand on the front lines with this guy.
Trust me, it won't take long.
God, man, it's sad because that one video of that guy, he's just, I think he has Down syndrome or something, and he's just smiling, just happy, and they're just, like, making fun of him.
Like, yeah, go, go, go, go.
Ah, it's so sad, dude.
Yep, because they got nobody left at this point.
I mean...
The country's basically emptied itself out into the outlying ones for the most part.
A lot of the people that are there at this point are basically unfit to serve, which is why they decided to go ahead and say they're fit to serve anyways.
Yep. Just lower the standard.
Basically, anybody health enough to hold a rifle and carry it around has already fled the country or is already dead.
What do you think about the draft here, man?
What do you think about that?
Not sure how well it would go.
Part of a draft involves people having somewhat of a level of confidence in their system.
And, you know, there was a lot of people that refused to go back then, but at the same time, the overall notion they had was that you were still doing a noble thing by going.
I don't know if anybody adheres to that delusion at this point.
I agree.
I mean, there are some, but yeah.
Yeah, there are some, but they'll be disabused of that when they're like, so anyways, no, you're not going to be serving on a base here.
Here is the random country you'll be roaming.
Yeah, like, what is it?
The House, U.S. House passed Bill, HR 8070 on June 14th, 2024.
Yeah, they passed it, implementing the draft.
I don't know if they're implementing it, but...
They added women to it.
Yeah, they were talking about that.
Did it go through?
Yeah, supposedly.
I don't know if they got the cojones to actually force the issue when they do, but supposedly, according to a couple of the articles I read, the technicalities do allow women to be drafted as well.
Here, I'm going to look this up.
I'm going to look this up.
All right, so it says...
Newsweek.com.
I don't agree with fact checks, but maybe they're right.
As of now, women in the United States are not required to register for the Selective Service, and there's no evidence to suggest that they will be added to the draft in 2024.
So, there's talk about it.
They wouldn't be needing a distant ballot if there weren't plans to do it.
Yeah, and The Hill, the publication says, yes, women should be part of the military draft.
What the fuck?
Oh, Deseret.
I can't read this shit.
Deseret? Deseret News, women don't belong in the draft.
But then Newsweek also says military draft map shows U.S. states women may be registered, automatically signed up.
Oh, shit.
Let's see what states.
So, like, as of now, men between 18 and 25 are required to register, which is always a thing.
Yeah, now the more recent one made them automatically registered.
Supposedly to keep them from getting in trouble for not registering.
But I say it's just a lot easier to pick people that are pre-registered.
True. Good point.
So the states that are automatic, Oregon, California, Wyoming, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Jersey, and Maryland are automatic.
Oh wait, no, those are no.
No draft.
No draft.
Those are no draft.
Automatic are most...
I guess.
Yeah. Most states are automatic.
Montana, Idaho, and Washington are opt-in, as well as Michigan, Maine, New Hampshire, Indiana, and Missouri.
So opt-in.
So if they want to, they can join.
And again, this is just for women.
And Nevada, Iowa, Kentucky, and New York will not.
Make women register.
But again, they can choose.
So the answer to that question is both yes and no.
Yep. It depends on the state.
Yeah, it depends on locale and the individual, I guess.
And from that, we get many clickbait articles that claim both.
Yeah, yeah.
The internet proliferates with those.
Especially on Twitter.
Women have to register for the draft.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
In my opinion, yeah, they should because...
Well, they fought so hard for this equality and they wanted it so bad.
They want to vote.
They want to do this and want to do this.
Well, if they want to go to fucking war, let them go to war.
I mean, that is part of equal rights.
Exactly. And I just hate the sexism of that.
You can't really be equal if it's all like, yeah, we're going to keep all of the privileges and you don't have to go off to war and die, but we're also going to give you all of the benefits that...
Those people risking those things get.
If you want the benefits, man, you can't pick and choose what you want and what you don't.
If you wanted that equality, let's be equal then because we can't be equal over here but not over here.
It's got to be across the fucking board.
That's my opinion.
And I love women.
I don't want them to go to war because we need them.
But I don't want men to go to war either because I'm anti-war.
Yeah, I'd rather nobody had to go to war.
I don't really want them to be registered for the draft because I don't want anyone to be.
Exactly. I want women at home raising children the way they're supposed to be raised.
And I want the men to be home with the family raising the child as well.
Why do we have to be separated, man?
The family should be one unit, dude.
And we should be living a prosperous...
Beneficial life, dude, but we're not.
The system just rips people apart.
They rip families apart.
Lessens communications between each other.
In a way, it's almost kind of another way to censor people.
You get them not to communicate, well, then you don't need to shut them up.
They're not talking.
No need to silence the words that are never spoken.
So actually, now that you think about it, yeah, separating people very much accomplishes that goal.
You get them apart from each other so they never come into direct contact and they only have indirect messaging and talk.
You just never get quite the sincere conversation that way.
So getting back to censorship, what do you think about what's going to happen in the near future with the internet?
Is the internet broken?
I think most people don't truly understand how much censorship exists as a whole in our zeitgeist.
I remember just from the casual commentary and stuff I see, I saw somebody on a video the other day comment about abusive comments.
And they said basically, just go sit in the Fortnite lobby for five minutes and you'll get those.
And I thought to myself, you're so out of touch.
Trust and safety has long since sanitized the Fortnite lobby.
No one's going to say anything that's abusive.
So it's like...
People don't even realize that they're being shut up.
This person legitimately thought that lobbies were like they were back in the old mid-2000 days where people were all telling each other KYS and shit all the time.
No, that's not how they work now.
They're very heavily curated.
I've had people actually get a week-long ban just for posting a word in a chat.
What? Because they don't just take away your right to chat and communicate.
No, they'll pull your whole games collection.
Like, it's nasty.
And unless they permanently ban you, a lot of times the temporary bans...
It's not worth it to, like, sue them over it, even though they would lose.
That's crazy, dude.
That's, like, hella tyrannical.
It's hard, man.
How do you judge that?
Because it's their platform.
Like, they make their own rules.
Yeah, it's a tough one.
I mean, I mostly hold it against them when they don't adhere to their own rules.
Because, of course, weirdly enough, Sony has this weird bias against Japanese entertainment as a Japanese company.
Like, a Western game can have, like, boobs hanging out, sex scenes, like, risqueness, lewdness, terribly inappropriate jokes, but a Japanese game with the same stuff?
Nah, verboten.
Gotta censor that.
And, like, to the point where it's almost blatant, like, how bad it is.
And so, you know, on top of the whole, like, DEI attaching itself to the gaming industry problem, there's also the whole, basically, everyone getting the slightest bit offended can get you banned problem on the censorship side.
So it's like there's development and investment censorship via paying people to only make certain kinds of games with certain characters, and then on the back end, you're shut up if you so much as make a naughty word and somebody don't like it.
Yeah, and that key word there is somebody.
It only takes one person to make a fuss about something.
Oh, yeah.
I can guarantee that I was with one before that got that dude banned for a week.
I was banned on Twitter.
I don't even want to say what I said.
It was two words, and it was...
I forget exactly what it was about.
I don't know.
It was someone said something retarded.
Retarded, dude.
I forget what it was.
And I don't say retarded against anybody retarded.
I don't say that word degrading anybody.
And I hope that word is not one of those words we're not supposed to say.
But I got banned for saying a two-word thing, a comment.
And I was like, what the fuck?
Banned for that?
And I made a complaint to them.
And they said I was evading a ban.
And I was like, how am I evading a ban?
I'm just reaching out to you.
Somehow I was evading a ban, and then I kept complaining about it, and then the next day, they unbanned me.
I was like, what the fuck was that about?
Disputing a ban is evading a ban.
Now that is some mental gymnastics.
Isn't that nuts?
That's on Twitter, man.
That's on X. Free speech platform.
Yeah, free speech platform, and I get banned for saying a two, and it wasn't...
They're just not as prominent.
That was probably the best one when it comes to actual free speech.
You have to actually do something harmful or against the country's laws to get it pulled.
As opposed to just, my feelings are hurt by this video.
It's very upsetting.
Make it disappear, please.
Yeah, and my comment was directed to some...
I don't know who it was.
But this person, they just took offense to it and made a big fuss about it, which...
They shouldn't have, because why are your feelings hurt about an opinion?
Because you're not allowed to have that unauthorized opinion, mister.
I guess.
I gotta get that checked before I post it.
Will someone check this before...
Yeah, we're gonna have, like, moderators before we can post something now, you know?
Like, they're...
Even a comment, like, they get, hmm, let's see if this is appropriate.
Nah, it's not.
We can't allow you to post this.
Yeah. Next presidential debates are going to be two guys being like, well, the president back there said...
Yeah, right.
They had a spokespeople up there.
They have puppets for the puppets.
Yeah. Yeah, I was going to say it'll be a spokesperson and then he'll use a hand puppet.
You watched that debate, man.
What was up?
Biden was on his phone.
So what the fuck is that about?
He had an earpiece in and he pooped his pants.
I mean, I can guarantee that he was being fed answers.
I mean, the dude is not as articulate as he was making statements.
It's like, you're pretty obviously, you know, you're the guy from the date movie with the suave dude speaking in your ear, telling you what to say.
And it just comes off as very insincere because none of his words are his own.
Oh, no, no.
It was Barack Obama on the other line saying, okay, say this.
I gotta say this.
Don't say that, Joe.
No, Joe, don't say that.
That was just a shit show.
That's so stupid.
It was all entertainment.
All entertainment for entertainment's sake.
There was no, like, presidential debate about it.
That was my real trouble with the whole thing.
I thought, I was like, that would have been a great opportunity to just flat out say, the last four years have sucked.
Here's how I can make it better.
And why did nobody do that?
I know Biden didn't do it because he would be admitting his last four years sucked.
But why the hell didn't Trump do it?
Or at least make a little more of a case.
Trump did make some comments where he's like, you are the worst president ever.
And then Joe Biden's like, no, you're the worst president.
I loved that.
I thought he could have emphasized his own economic situation back when he was running things better.
I mean, the trouble really is, you know, neither one of them is really going to get away from all the BS treaties and stuff that are, like, dragging us into all the nonsense.
It's just that one of them is with it and won't necessarily just do every little thing that makes them look bad and the other one's not.
One of them still has an ego that can be hurt.
The other one has no consciousness, let alone ego.
Good grief, man.
Good grief.
How did we get to this point?
Well, you know, the same people have always been in charge.
It's just now it's their time to go and they're refusing to leave.
So, you know, it's going to be awkward because they're basically the party guest.
The sun's coming up.
You're pretty sure that they had a job they were supposed to go to the next morning.
They're still passed out on your couch.
You're starting to seriously question if they're ever going to leave.
And the party's kind of over and you're kind of partied out at this point.
That's my analogy there.
They know their time's up, so they're just warp speeding their damages.
Just getting as much done of their agenda as possible before this next change or whatever.
It's all the same, but...
I guess...
There are factions within factions, so...
Oh, yeah.
I mean, there's a lot of different things working for and against right now.
Like, Twitter isn't necessarily working towards the same ends as everyone else, but not necessarily helping us either, so...
Yeah. Could be a little of both, you know?
Yeah, so what happens then, man?
So Biden wants to do another debate in September.
The allegedly dead John McAfee...
He said in a tweet a long time, like in 2020, said that Biden was going to...
Well, first he said, do not take the shot in 2020.
He said, do not take the fucking shot.
And he also said that Biden is going to be replaced this September.
He said this back in the day, the allegedly dead John McAfee.
Praise him.
That's a good guy right there.
He had the greatest departure video.
Which one was that?
He did a video after he left the McAfee Company, the antivirus company.
That was just, like, literally him just, like, being a baller in, like, a mansion with, like, all these hookers around and stuff.
Dude, yeah, yeah.
That guy is so nuts, dude.
I saw that, yeah.
I was like, that would be the best response video I've ever seen.
I love it, dude, because when he came out with all the antivirus software and, like, the government wanted it, so he's like, sure, I'll give it to you.
And he gave them all these free computers with the antivirus, but he had the back door in it.
Yeah. Oh, that's so great.
That's so awesome.
That guy is a genius, dude.
That guy.
He dominates anybody.
Steve Jobs, fuck that guy.
Fuck Bill Gates.
Fuck all these guys that people praise, man.
People like John McAfee, that's where it's at.
Well, the trick is with the people that are put out that you're supposed to praise.
I find when I actually hear about people meeting them, like all these big wigs and all these huge executives.
Evil, like, you know, board members of shadowy groups and stuff.
They tend to be, as a whole, incredibly unimpressive and weak people.
Because realistically, those are the kind of people that you use as figureheads in those positions because you don't want somebody strong that's going to say, no, I don't like your ideas.
I'm going to take my own.
You want somebody who is basically just going to say, yes, boss, everything you say.
Yeah, I'm the CEO, but I'm going to do what you say.
Yeah, all these people, like the Bill Gates and the Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, you know, all these dudes.
They all went to these special, like, schools, I guess you can call them.
Like, Johns Hopkins had, like, a special intelligent children's program that some of these guys went to.
And these other colleges have these specialized programs, so these super smart, intelligent kids.
Who are like the children of military people.
So those connections are always there.
So they basically just raise these guys and be like, okay, that guy's crazy enough to follow what we tell him.
He's easily manageable.
Let's prop him up.
Exactly. You have to be smart, but with a weak will is what it is.
Because they have to replace your will with theirs.
That's part of the molding process, is basically, you're going to become very famous and rich and everyone's going to love you, but you're going to do what we say when we say it.
And honestly, the whole destruction of all of this system and the fact that they're destroying themselves comes from, I guess, the whole Jungian principle, basically, that...
No one else can really ever change you or take you down.
You have to take yourself down.
You have to change yourself.
And so, in the end, it's almost a projection of their own internalized shame because they don't deserve what they have.
And so, basically, they project that shame outwards.
And, well, eventually they give it up because they know they don't deserve it.
But since, you know, they're stubborn, they throw a tantrum first.
But yeah, in the end, basically, it's like you say, negative energy, evil, bad, can't be defeated.
It always destroys itself by its own hubris.
I love that.
I fucking love that.
So your role isn't necessarily to fight back and defeat the evil and tear it apart and destroy it.
Your goal is just to simply nudge it and let it collapse from the weight of its own BS.
And right now we're doing a whole lot of nudging, which is why it's kind of panicking.
Because it's getting nudged from a lot of different places and the crisis in confidence that it's experiencing is becoming palpable.
And so kind of like almost a living organism, it's experiencing a fight-or-flight panic.
And it's making the absolute worst decisions.
As, you know, the plan falls apart, the panic fills where the plan used to be.
Which means things will be very chaotic from here, unfortunately.
That's the downside for everybody.
But at the same time, it needs to happen because things have gotten to the point where even those in power and those who are running things are suffering from their own system.
Even they're getting hurt by this stuff anymore.
Yeah, you might be making more and more money now, but let's face it, these people can't go out in public these days.
They can't go to a grocery store.
They get people screaming and throwing rotten fruit at them everywhere they go.
You'll notice they don't go out and show themselves off these days.
So it's like, you think about it this way, like everybody involved in this process is super narcissistic.
That is hell for them.
Like somebody said the other day, oh, well, why would they care if they blew up the world and started a nuclear war?
What do they give a crap?
And I'm like, you're asking a narcissist if they care what other people think when their entire existence is caring what other people think.
It's just insane.
It's pure insanity.
So, yeah, they might be crazy enough to do it, but a lot of what's keeping them from doing it is they don't want it to be their fault.
Unbelievable. Have you seen this video about this new trend in China where older women are getting face transplants of younger faces?
I heard a little bit about it.
It reminded me of, well, there's all kinds of weird stuff people have done over the years to de-age themselves.
All of it just sounds insane to me.
You should just accept how you are.
Dude, they are literally...
Let me show you this.
I'm going to show you this.
How do I share this?
Share. Screen.
Check this out.
So they are taking younger people's faces.
Are they dead people?
Who knows where these faces are coming from?
But they're cutting the faces and they are transplanting them onto their own goddamn head.
So they're taking off their skin and putting someone else's face on them.
Oh, what is happening?
That's creepy.
And they look like homunculi.
Somebody else's face on yours does not look natural.
No, it's like Uncanny Valley.
Yeah, they look like humanoid robots, almost, designed to mimic human behavior.
Yeah, and they talk?
Yeah, this is a still image from the article, and it was bad enough, but seeing this video and seeing their faces actually move, that's like horror film levels.
This is not good.
The question is, where are these faces coming from?
I mean, with China having such a major aspect in the whole human trafficking, probably not an answer any of us would do anything but vomit if we knew.
Human trafficking?
Are they growing people in labs, incubator babies?
Yes, necessarily.
Are they creating faces from stem cells?
Because that's actually the less horrifying and more ethical option than harvesting from people that aren't dead.
Actually, there is a video going around on Twitter of them.
They actually did that.
They're making little Petri dish.
They look like their faces, but they're not like faces.
They look weird as hell, but they can move them, and they're using them to put on robots.
So they're actually a biological face that they're growing in a Petri dish to place on robots to be able to show expression and emotion.
Wow, that's incredibly creepy.
So why are we doing that here and China's actually transplanting faces onto other people?
What's going on?
The whole transhumanism movement's happening, you know?
Oh, well, you said it before I did.
I was about to say, I would pretty much guarantee that's all part of the transhumanism thing.
I mean, honestly, I would imagine a lot of this is the, like, in terms of all of it, like body augmentation, alteration, all that stuff, is really designed to...
Soften people up to things like implantation and cyberization.
Real mods.
Because it's quite the jump we'd have to make right now.
If somebody was like, here, take this government robot arm.
It'll make you stronger.
You'd be like, oh no, definitely not.
You need a few steps in between here and there to get there.
There's a meme going around of like...
In the future.
And it's like a robot with a robot child next to him.
And the child's like, what is that?
And he's pointing at an actual human brain in a museum thing, right?
And the adult robot's like, that was the original computer.
But is there going to be another worldwide deluge that wipes out humanity again?
Is there going to be another major reset?
At this point, I wouldn't even be shocked by it.
I mean...
I didn't think we were going to get one, but...
Because if you think about it, like, if you look through history, I don't know, like, I do a lot of weird research and, like, hidden history and stuff like that, and, like, you look through out history, and it's like, whenever technological time booms, it all, like, falls really fast, and there's, like, a dark age,
and then we reestablish the enlightenment or whatever, and then we recreate all this new technology, and, uh...
And then...
Yeah, and then everything's just going to crumble again.
I think MIT or Harvard scientists did a study in the 70s, and they said that's exactly what's going to happen in 2030 or something like that, where society gets to a point of a technological advancement where it's almost too smart for its own good that it destroys itself.
And it seems to have happened in the past.
Look at Rome.
Greece, you know, and then we're getting there.
You know, we already said the Kali Yuga cycle.
We're coming through a phase and we're transitioning to something new.
We're reaching the limitations of a 3D species.
The options are either to evolve or default from here, but we can't stay still.
So we've got to go somewhere.
Basically, we're essentially at the peak of...
Well, a 3D species level of evolving.
And we're in this unique situation where humans are only viewing themselves as being as important as what they can produce, which to me is a very de-evolutionary outlook because humans don't exist to make things for other humans.
That's not why we exist.
We exist to live our own stories and to discover things and process information.
So, basically, our basis for why we value life in the first place is already wrong from the start, because we view it in terms of economic value.
So much about how we view how much people are worth is based on how much they can produce, when, realistically, the whole reason robots can't fully replace us is because robots are purpose-built, whereas humans are purpose-driven.
We're driven, or rather, we're driven to find purpose, whereas robots are driven with the intended already created purpose.
We don't have an inbuilt purpose that we already work towards.
So we already possess more potential than any automaton ever could.
But the reason we're having such trouble is because from this point, we've got to evolve into a higher dimensional species.
We've got to essentially become a 4D species rather than the 3D species we are right now.
When I was talking about the layers before, there's 3D, you know, that's meat space, real life, basic existence.
Other things that are 4D and 5D life forms and whatnot also exist in that space, but they also exist in the higher realms as well, which is why they're capable of doing more in terms of manipulating energy and then time and whatnot.
Because those dimensions basically...
Moving through those dimensions require that you exist on a higher dimensional plane.
So we're hitting this level where it's evolve upwards into a fourth dimensional species and we would stand essentially shoulder to shoulder with the Anunnaki and be an equally evolved species alongside them at that point.
Or we devolve back into the Dark Ages again.
That's our other option.
I would personally prefer that we become a 4D species, but it isn't strictly my decision.
It's everybody on the Earth's decision where we go from here.
That's greatly put, dude.
Because we are reaching a higher consciousness, generally speaking, all across the board, you know, humans in general.
We're also devolving.
It's so weird, man.
It's all individual.
I don't know.
We are moving forward and we are transitioning to something better consciously, like you're saying.
But I just look around me and I just see so many brainless people, so many inconsiderate, thoughtless human beings.
People who just litter and don't even think differently of it.
Or people in traffic who just don't look around them and people who aren't aware of their surroundings.
That worries me.
If you're not aware of your surroundings, that just worries me.
Oh yes, very important to live mindfully.
And a lot of the not being mindful is part of why we're devolving.
Because when you're in nature, you can exist unconsciously for the most part, since your instincts will carry you.
But once you get to the higher realms of consciousness, you have to manipulate those consciously.
You can't just engage those from instinct.
Because your instinct is going to be...
Too shy away from those things since they're not as important as day-to-day survival for a, you know, meatspace human being.
Now, maybe if we were, say, a 5D species that could incarnate and reincarnate at will, we would not be so obsessed with these things.
But we're just kind of forced into it by the fact that we're constantly being shoved back into survival mode.
And that's part of the whole putting stress on people is that it forces them into survival mode so they're not thinking about those higher spiritual realms and concepts.
Exactly, yeah.
Keep us distracted from the real meaning of our lives, man.
And like I said earlier, it's all about your family, dude.
It's really all about the family.
What more do you have than love and appreciation of one another and living, man?
We're just wasting life by working these stupid jobs for some other fucking company who just rakes in this money that we need to survive and we get nothing.
We get scrapings and then they slowly take that away from us.
They're going to create a food shortage this year here in the United States.
It's already happening in Australia.
And they're going to use the bird flu as the reason why.
That's why people have to start evolving their thought process now.
Because once this nonsense starts coming down, you're going to need to have all of this worked out and have the understanding already in place.
Because it will be much easier for you to truly, quote, get what's going on if you do that.
Yeah, and that's what I guess I'm trying to say is that you need to be prepared for what is coming.
It's hard to grasp it because it's so crazy.
It's like, this isn't real life.
This should be in a movie.
Why am I living this in real life?
And when it gets to that point, you have to step back and realize shit's really fucked up.
And it's being orchestrated by higher ups, these people in power.
They just create so much dissension to cause...
To cause us to be, you know, to fight amongst ourselves and our families, man, it sucks.
And then, you know, the whole conspiracy thing, like that whole movement, like to hate on conspiracy theorists who are just truthers searching for the truth because we've obviously been lied to from the very beginning.
And this is creating so much divide.
And because of that, we are not able, like you said, to pay attention to our consciousness and to...
Seek the meaning of this life.
I don't know what's out there, but there's definitely nothing out there.
I've noticed that recently, too, a lot of people that I've seen in my life have been forced into kind of a survival existence as of late.
And I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that this consciousness shift is, well, it's starting to become pretty strong.
So as it becomes greater, well...
You've got to force people into more and more dire situations to get them to ignore it.
And so what happens when this food shortage...
Because we saw, you know, the food shortage.
We saw what happened with the toilet paper shortage.
How people just went nuts.
You know, what happens when all the eggs are gone?
People are posting pictures on Twitter of all the eggs gone in the grocery stores in Australia right now because they're killing all the chickens because a bird flew.
It's actually very tough to predict.
Because four years ago, I...
I could have predicted hoarding, panic, everybody fighting in the toilet paper aisle, etc., etc.
But things are very different from where they were four years ago, so I'm not sure exactly if it's going to necessarily drive people to fight each other as much as they're hoping it will.
I think a lot more people are going to start doing things like, okay, we're going to come together collectively to grow our own food to make sure that we have these things anyways.
I feel like there's actually going to be a more calm approach than people expect, just simply because it's a lot harder to manipulate people into being mad at each other and freaking out at this point because of the disbelief.
Like when they were predicting toilet paper shortages and the panic and everything and the news initially.
The mainstream news had almost total control over the information flow.
It's not going to work that way this time.
No matter what level of censorship they put down, it's just going to get through.
They can't stop it at this level.
Yeah, and I think the people that are going to freak out and shit are the people who want to elect Joe Biden.
Those people seem to have so much disconnect to reality that they're not going to be able to be self-efficient.
They're going to have to rely on the government.
Man, I don't know.
Those of us like us, we'll be able to be calm about it and be self-sufficient.
We're going to be able to grow our own food and raise our own stocks.
But a lot of people won't.
It's going to be people waiting for instructions from the television.
And this is where the problem comes, though.
Because those of us who are growing our own food and raising our own animals to be self-sufficient, the people that don't have that are going...
They're going to come after our stuff.
You know what I mean?
Oh, that's inevitable.
Thankfully, their lack of preparedness extends to everything.
I mean, that's why they want to take away the guns, dude.
Well, because, yeah, they don't want you to be able to protect yourself when...
Your crazy neighbors who's starving tries to bust in.
Exactly, dude.
And all the murder that happens with us, it only helps them because they're like, okay, that's one less person we have to kill.
That's one less person we have to kill.
That's one less person we have to put in a FEMA camp.
It's just, oh, it's maddening.
It is so maddening.
It's pretty crazy.
I mean, the really crazy thing is that people are actually acknowledging it.
I mean, realistically, I've known all of this stuff for 20 years.
What's going on?
And then having people about it.
But the change I've noticed recently is people are actually receptive.
It's not met with that automatic psychological barrier of, oh, crazy person must resist, must pull up Wikipedia.
That urge is starting to fade.
And I think a part of it is...
Just that some of the stuff that came down that they were expected to believe was so contradictory and absurd, I swear it almost seemed like it was designed to break the spell.
Because it was just an ice pick into the cognitive dissonance, basically.
I mean, they do control every side.
They have to because they need to control every aspect of everything.
So, I mean, they create every problem and then they create all the fricking options to deal with the problem and then they create the solution and then they force it upon us.
Yeah, they kind of change their plans from the old problem and reaction solution from the olden days to something I call more, well, CDDD.
Chaos, destruction, dissension, destruction, and death.
Basically, instead of the old PRS system was something bad happens.
They control the reaction, and thus they control the resolution of the solution.
But the new system is, basically, they create a problem, and they use the problem to break whatever they're doing, and then they leave nothing in its place, which is where we're at now, which is why it's all chaos and whatnot.
And the trick is, the dissension actually comes before the chaos, but the reason I put the chaos at the beginning...
Is because the way that propaganda works is you convince people there is chaos, and that will lead to the dissension that will actually create the chaos, so you can say, see, there it was all along.
Oh my god.
And then you get the destruction and the death.
Yeah, we almost, we make it happen.
It's like the Hegelian dialectic, except instead of resolving things at the end, you just break it.
And before we had constant chaos, there was the constant presentation of the perception of chaos.
This then created dissension over time, and then dissension created real chaos.
I can see it from the people's point of view who don't like Alex Jones, who spout conspiracy theories and things, you know?
Right. Because it's just like, you're creating problems by doing that because you're stirring pots and you're getting people angry and all that.
And it's like, I can see it from that point of view, but...
But that sort of thing has to happen.
Like, we have to have that.
I don't know.
It's just like a human trait to be a thinker and a disseminator of information.
If Alex Jones wasn't right, you'd just laugh at him.
You wouldn't be mad at him.
Was Socrates the Alex Jones of his time?
Was Aristotle the Alex Jones of his time?
Yeah, pretty much.
He went against the standard dogmas of the day.
And, well, he paid dearly in terms of popularity, and, well...
He actually ended up a lot worse after that.
I was going to say, he actually ended up a lot worse than Alex Jones did.
That's true.
That's true.
Well, we don't know Alex Jones' ending yet, so...
True. Well, you know, dissenting thought is so bad, we need you to drink poison and stop having it.
Drink this poison.
You want to drink this.
This is good for you.
Because you're having bad thoughts.
Yeah, take this Thorazine.
That's what they want to do, man.
Just get everybody just completely numb and dumb.
Yeah. That is why it's important to win minds, believe.
Because it's the best revenge against a cold, uncaring system is to still care.
That's exactly it, man.
That's how you win.
You just don't fall for their shenanigans.
And that's kind of why everything's starting to be like a winning scenario.
Because you don't win...
By doing this big takeover thing, that's just how a new bad thing takes over.
You win by getting everyone to thoroughly understand and reject the existing system so we can all work together to create the new one.
Because otherwise what you get is a few people co-opting the next one.
I'm starting to understand this because I'm getting all these ideas for solutions and systems that honestly I don't...
Understand how they would work in a human system, but I'm starting to understand that they will work as we evolve.
We're just not quite ready for them yet, but we are ready to be exposed to them.
These new ideas and new systems that we're coming up with, they don't work now, but that's because we're not evolved enough.
People always point to hippies and say, see, communism works, and I always say, Hippies aren't communists.
Communal living, because you all have a mutual agreement to stay together, is not the communist system.
There's nobody forcing those hippies to live together in poverty.
Those people all came together and decided that they all had a mutual interest, so they would all stay together.
And that's the only type of communal system that actually works.
This whole, like, let's force everybody to do it.
As soon as you put the word force in, it fails.
Yeah, yeah.
And these, you know, the hippie communists and things like that.
Yeah, I mean, these people, it's not communism.
They're not, the hippies aren't like, okay, today you get two kilograms of the rhubarb over there.
You get one pound of that rice right there for your family.
Yeah, see, there's no ordering them around.
It's all voluntary choice.
They choose to stay together.
They choose to do what they do.
Have sex and orgies and all that.
Oh, tons of that.
And they're not forced to, unless it's one of the cult ones.
Well, the cult ones, maybe.
But yeah, the regular ones, they just do that.
It's just fun and games.
Just living life, you know?
Having orgies.
That's the source of any system being positive, though.
Voluntary consent.
And that's very important.
Because I find, honestly, the best basis for any system isn't really a government term, but actually a rave term that I learned from raves, which is plur.
Peace, love, unity, and respect.
Those are the four things that a civilization needs to exist and thrive.
You don't need to agree with your neighbor, but you do need to be peaceful with them.
You don't need to necessarily show affection to your neighbor, but you do need to have a lot of love to them to want you and them to succeed.
You don't need to necessarily get along with your neighbor on everything, but you have to be unified enough to know that you're both living in the same place and that your wives both affect each other.
And then, of course, you don't have to necessarily care for what your neighbor thinks or says or does, but you have to have enough respect to let them do it.
I like that.
Pler. Okay.
Pler. Pler will save us all.
Pler. It's almost too close to, like, what is it?
Plerb? Pleb.
Plebeian. Okay, never mind.
Plebeian? Is that what I'm thinking of?
Yeah, pleb.
I don't want to be a plebeian.
Oh, yeah.
It sounds simple, but then if you think about it, it's incredibly hard to actually live by those.
Yeah. Incredibly hard.
I was going to say, good luck trying to get that across an entire nation, you know?
My God, people live for drama.
They just love it.
Yeah. Well, one person at a time has to decide that they don't want it.
And I think that's what's happening right now, is that millions of people are individually making the decision that they want the story to play out differently.
And, well, if everybody decides they want the story to play out differently, there's really not much you can do but play it out that way.
Gotta play along, man.
Just sit back, enjoy the show, I guess.
Get your peanuts out.
Yeah. That's why I would love the plurin raves and whatnot.
Because every time I go to a rave, I'll see a living rainbow next to an American flag template.
And nobody's fighting.
They're all getting along.
Because they're all there for mutual interests.
And that could be America.
That could be the United States.
Yeah. We don't have to be strictly defined by all the things we don't like about each other.
We could be defined by all the reasons why it's great to be here.
Yeah, dude.
Just don't harm people, man.
Come on.
Like, come on.
Come on.
Don't do that.
So, I mean, I know we're just spouting a lot of random shit, but just having a discussion here.
It's just an easy day, you know?
Oh, yeah.
My guide actually revealed to me what the four wins were, finally.
What are the four wins?
The four winds are part of my spiritualism credo, which are the four energetic forces that generate the universe.
It's funny because I thought I got the idea originally from a video game, but it actually comes from old concepts, which is where the game got it from.
But basically, the four winds are basically the four things that make up reality.
The first one is...
Basically the will to exist that more or less generates life, like all the energy that comes from the source and everything.
Second one is living things's will to live their stories, more or less.
Or no, the second one is actually the stage that the play is done on, so to speak.
More or less the spatial and temporal universe.
The third one is living things, their DNA, their will to exist, their stories.
And the fourth one is the invisible universe that interfaces between all of those involving stuff and null space and the ether and all that.
They essentially revealed to me what the four things were, because all I was seeing them as was they were being symbolically represented.
So I had a general understanding of it, but it was more explicitly revealed to me.
That makes sense, yeah.
Because I'm actually kind of slow on the uptake when it comes to spiritual stuff, as much as I sound like I'm confident when I talk about it.
I'm actually pretty damn bad at this stuff and a total neophyte.
I kind of ask how I was picked, but maybe a part of it is that as everyone's evolving, that the average person who isn't necessarily spiritually inclined is going to become a lot more able to do this stuff.
So maybe the face of it needs to be somebody who's not some guru and all perfectly connected because that's a person that most of the people that are trying to learn are not going to
God, my mom a long time ago told me, do not start a church.
You would be a freaking cult leader.
I'm just like, what?
Mom, you're telling me I'm going to be a cult leader?
It was so funny.
She thinks I'd be a cult leader because I have this way with people, apparently.
I am a horrible public speaker, and I honestly don't think many people like me because I'm very opinionated.
And I don't deal with bullshit.
I just don't deal with bullshit, dude.
If people are talking to me and it's a fucking flat-out lie or something, I just don't deal with it.
I don't want to deal with that.
Yeah, and it doesn't help.
It's so much just completely bogus stuff.
Cycled through the news as truth because so many people repeat it.
Mm-hmm.
But when you were telling me about The Four Winds, it reminded me of Don Miguel Ruiz.
Have you heard of him?
Let me see.
He wrote the book The Four Agreements?
Four Agreements!
Yeah, I've read that book.
I knew I heard that name somewhere.
Yeah, I read it a long time ago.
But his four agreements are be impeccable with your words, so speak with integrity and honesty and avoid gossip and lies, which is, yes, obviously.
Don't take anything personally.
Don't let others' opinions and actions affect your self-worth and emotions, which is awesome.
And don't make assumptions.
Communicate clearly and ask questions.
And don't assume you know what others think or feel.
And always do your best.
Do your best in every situation and don't judge yourself.
Or others.
So those are his four agreements.
So your four wins are pretty freaking awesome.
What's odd about him is that I had the concept introduced strictly via imagery originally.
And I spent so long trying to interpret what each of the four wins actually meant that it's kind of funny that they got sick of me not figuring it out and just told me.
It's like, alright buddy, we've had enough.
We're just kidding.
Nice picture of the cosmos and stars and everything.
And that was supposed to represent the universe.
Got a nice picture of energy and glowing and whatnot.
Supposed to represent the energetic forces of life.
A picture of nature and animals and such to represent life.
And then, well, the fourth one representing thought.
It's honestly too confusing to describe.
Basically, it's essentially a...
It's all three of the other ones thrown into one picture.
Because the world of thought contains everything.
Maybe we talked about this last time we talked, but its symbolism is the greatest communication tool that conveys a message.
So it's really interesting.
And then if you look at, you know, the Chinese characters, their language, like each of those characters have meaning.
It's nuts.
Yeah, because their letters are words.
And their alphabet is like hundreds of letters or something.
Coming from an alphabet-based language and trying to learn the...
I'm trying to remember what the word was for it.
Calligraphic? No, that's not it.
Calligraphy? Hey, it's not coming to me.
Oh, well.
Well, we are coming to an end here at two hours, so let's finish this up.
Yeah, we're at my two-hour mark, so probably better wrap around.
Yeah, so if you want, man, tell the listeners where they can find you again.
I'm on www.theindividual.com.
Not really too much there, but I'm going to be working on it a lot over the next couple of weeks.
Now that I've managed to back up all of my old spiritual writings and such, I'm going to try and put them back up.
Dude, awesome.
You should...
Bring you all that stuff, and I'll put it out in discussion format.
Oh, absolutely.
I'd love to talk about it, now that I can.
For the longest time, it was a personal thing, and you never know if you're really allowed to speak of it, because so much of it is things that might just be exclusively for you.
So it was almost kind of off-putting when they said, you need to share everything.
Yeah, I mean, maybe that's just to pique interest in others, so they can individually find their own meaning and stuff.
Yeah, it's designed to stimulate somebody's interest.
Do you have social media?
Anything like Twitter, Facebook, anything like that?
I'm actually going to try and set up the individual Twitter or try and recover my old one if I can actually find the password.
But if not, I'll build a new one.
So I'm going to get one on there.
I'm on Facebook, but apparently I am extremely heavily censored already, so...
That's weird.
That is so weird.
That is so weird.
So I'm already getting my post eaten, and it's literally the second post I made in 10 years on that site.
So I'm curious if it's because it's me or if it's just because of the episode I'm sharing.
I want to know if it's the data or if it's specifically my user status that's causing this.
That's so weird.
So stupid.
All right, listeners.
Thanks for listening.
It's been fun.
It's a great discussion.
Cricket, thanks, man.
And we'll see you next time.
Listeners, you can find me at the Paranautica Podcast on Facebook or at Paranautica on Twitter.
Give me five-star ratings if you want or I don't care.
Give me a four-star.
I'll deal with that.
Give me good reviews.
It helps get the show out.
Just, you know, rate the show and give reviews and stuff like that.
It just helps me out and helps other people like Cricket and my other guests who need more and more exposure.
Please help us out, man.
We're just out here trying to expand consciousness and get the truth out to the world.
So go check out Cricket's social media and website.
What is that?
www.theindividual.com?
Yep, theindividual.com.
And remember, kids, always distrust the government.
And that's...
Spell that out.
The T-H-E-I-N-D-I-V-I-D-U-A-L-E.com.
It's individual with an E at the end.
Alright, thanks everyone for listening.
Take care of yourselves and take care of one another.
