| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I'm going to go get a drink.
you Thank you.
If you haven't been told yet today that you are loved, then let me tell you that we love you.
That you are enough, that you are sufficient, that you are on a pathway to great glory.
You are indeed an awakening wonder.
We've got some fantastic stuff coming up.
I mean, it's not fantastic actually, it's just further evidence that the world is corrupt and is falling apart before your very eyes, but yet there is hope in the deep mystery within us.
Here are some things we've got to tell you about though.
NATO are drawing up secret war plans for a war against, you guessed it, it's Russia.
The Biden family!
The Biden family, they're selling weapons.
Or, no, it's not the family of Biden.
No, no.
I mean, who knows?
Who knows?
They could be up to some stuff, allegedly.
They wouldn't tell us if they were, would they?
They wouldn't tell us if they were.
What's this that's happening now?
Just feeding a dog, mate.
Just staying out of trouble.
Just keeping my nose clean.
Just feeding a dog.
Don't want to get in no bother, do I?
We've got Charlie Skelton coming on.
He's a journalist and he's been at the Bilderberg group.
That's right.
I know you, you're childish.
I am.
And when I say Bilderberg, you think about Build-A-Bear, the soft toy company where you can make a soft toy, take ages and essentially you've been induced to work in a sweatshop and pay for the privilege.
Yeah, and I think the WEF is an offshoot.
I think Klaus Schwab spent so much time building those bears that he needed his own organisation.
Because he is, isn't he?
He was mentored by Henry Kissinger, Klaus Schwab, did you know that?
And that he was part of the Buildable group.
I can't do this for a while.
See this white cat that I'm stroking on my lap?
I actually built it myself!
Look inside it!
It's got a real heart and a real voice!
What's that it's saying?
She will own nothing and she will be happy.
Oh, I wouldn't like to pry.
I breastfeed, did you know?
I've teats running down each side.
Am I too much?
Have I gone on for too long?
It always strays a little too far.
I've gone on too long talking about the teats on his body.
Zelenskiy.
Zelenskiy keeps surprise visiting everywhere, doesn't he?
He surprise visited last week.
He was here, wasn't he?
Then he surprised me.
I'm not against Zelenskiy and I'm certainly not against his attempts to bolster the Ukraine response to the criminal invasion of Russia.
But, God, doesn't he do a lot of surprise visits?
Have you ever known anyone do surprise visits?
This time, he's surprise visiting the G7.
And all of the usual suspects, all of the, like, peacetime leaders, are all cosying up to act like they're all friends with Zelensky.
Oh, I know him first.
I know him better than you.
Do you remember when Rishi and Trudeau were on the phone to Zelensky?
And, like, look at how they sort of clamoured to love him most.
Rishi, our Prime Minister, nearly licked the phone.
He gets so close to it.
Trudeau does the most ridiculous, sarcastic voice.
Like that, he does such full Ls.
Have a listen.
Look at him simpering down Rishi Sunak like he's gonna snort that up his snout.
You never know where Zelensky will turn up next.
He could even be in our very environment for all we know.
He could be around here somewhere.
He's a great...
That's actually not bad.
I think you're going to have to do the cutaway to sell it though, guys, because it's not playing out in there.
Yeah, look at that!
That's enough!
Don't show too much!
Don't show too much!
We're going to play a witch project, for God's sake!
We learned back then.
Did you spot Zelensky?
Did you?
Did you?
If you spotted Zelensky, let us know in the chat.
Hey, we're going to be on YouTube for a little while, but then just in pursuit of freedom of speech, we're going to have to leave to talk about a guest that we've got coming up next Friday.
I spoke to Laura Doddsworth.
I spoke to Laura Doddsworth who told me a whole bunch of stuff about nudge units, propaganda and the way that the pandemic was used to essentially propagandise you into a fearful stupor.
We're going to have a long conversation with her next Friday but we're going to share with you some of the information that I just discussed in a little minute.
But let's have a little Look, what I think it is, Gal, my on-screen assistant, and so, so, so much more, is that I think that because they know they are not legitimate, proper leaders, because they know they are stooges of the WEF, because they know that they are neepo-baby, is that what they call them?
Nepo-babies?
Not even if it ain't their parents, because I think Richard Sunak actually went to a normal grammar school, whatever, he's a missus though, he's got a few quid, I'll tell you that.
She ain't willing to give it up for the old tax!
She ain't giving it up for the old tax, baby!
I'll tell you that!
Should keep an eye out of it, and Trudeau, some people say that his heritage is questionable, don't they?
Don't they?
Allegedly.
Some do, yeah.
How did you go to law school?
So listen though, this is them lot at the G7, which by the way, I think should be banned.
All those little things that are called stuff like WHO, WEF, IMF, build a bear group, all of that stuff, G7, I don't think they should be allowed to have them.
Right, you want to get rid of them?
Right, but here they are at one of those things, doing the stuff they do.
Pretending to be credible leaders with the best intentions of their population at heart, rather than stooges of their corporate state.
Have a look.
How are you?
Good to see you.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm alright, thanks.
Bye guys, how are you doing?
He's actually trying to act quite cool.
He is.
He's cool.
Go back and look at that again.
He's like, yeah, thanks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm not bothered.
Oh, you're still actually talking to him at that point.
He just goes past him because I think he's embarrassed because when Zelensky come to our country, Rishi was all over him like a cheap suit.
Oh, this is Winston Churchill was in this room.
Oh, can I kiss you?
He went, he's overdone it.
Now he's trying to act Too cool.
Too late, baby.
We're at the G7 now.
There's other people about.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Gotta keep my cool.
Hold it down.
Hold it down.
Don't act too keen, Rishi!
Macron's in the other room.
Oh, look at Macron's hair.
I can't compete with that.
And the French accent.
Sacre bleu!
What chance do I stand?
Yeah, I'm all right.
Thanks.
Bye, guys.
How are you doing?
I'm all right, thanks.
Yeah, man.
What do I care, baby?
Cool.
Literal level of Zelensky, but these next fellas that he meets, he certainly isn't.
Oh, wait for this.
He gets like, now, me, I love a member of the military.
I love a gangster.
I love a criminal.
Oh, yeah.
Like, I'm not like I'm endorsing crime or war or organized crime.
Did, didn't, as I said, literally, I love them.
But what I'm saying is, come on, everyone does.
Don't they?
Yeah.
Well, we all like the films, don't we?
We like the films.
What about a real one?
Right.
You know?
In real life.
Oi, son!
But do you think it's fine until they do something a bit underhand and then you're like, oh, no, actually.
I can let still.
I don't mind.
What about when I was in the marines that day?
Yeah, I was there that day.
I remember that.
Yeah.
I was one of the best marines they had that day.
No, the worst.
That's not actually the worst.
That's not how I can remember it.
What about the bit where you were trying to climb that rope and they had to, like, push your feet up?
Actually, Gareth, I'm going to crit you there.
They pushed me up on my buttocks.
That's right.
And that was my favourite part of the day.
I was only pretending I couldn't climb that rope.
Push me up that rope!
Don't ask, don't tell!
Push me up that rope!
Yeah, I was a Marine.
We'll have to get some of that footage and show it on this show sometime.
You would love it when I was in the Marines.
That was the same spate of interviews where I interviewed and irritated Mike Tyson to the point where he was going to beat me up.
I also interviewed Donald Trump.
That went quite well, actually.
Hey, if you're watching this on YouTube, in a minute we're only going to be exclusively available on Rumble.
If you're watching it on Rumble, join us in locals like Katie Beth and Alex Overton.
Tell us more.
Tell us more.
Is this for real?
Yeah, I was in the Marines for a day.
I don't like to talk about it.
You weren't there, man!
You weren't there!
I saw things!
I saw things!
You can't handle the truth!
We had our own little private changing room away from the other marines.
I did actually, yeah.
They did give me my private changing room so I could relax.
I do a bit like I would have to carry a 70 kilogram bag around.
Oh bloody hell, that was exhausting.
Some of the other marines have been very rude.
Can we talk about Thomas Hardy please?
Just us three.
Just a few minutes on the poets of the Romantic period just to unwind and relate.
I don't know but I've been told Thomas Hardy is underappreciated.
Particularly in the Marine Corps!
There I am being in the Marines.
Oh wow.
I don't actually like how I look there, mate.
Your body language suggests that, I would say.
I'm grinning!
What's your arms doing?
They look defeatist.
I don't want any trouble, alright?
Listen, I'm part of my own year as part of the UN peacekeeping force.
Get your hands off me, you could have had my eye out!
Hey, looking at me.
I've only just done my dressing gown out, what you lot doing?
I ain't going up that rope, not without some assistance.
Now you place your hand on my left bun, and you on the right, and I'll be up there as quick as ninepence.
So that's what I've been doing.
That ain't a clip, is it?
Is it a clip?
It can't be, surely.
Let's go back to the G7 summit and see what Rishi Sunak does when he, unlike me, who I'm a social chameleon, I can fit in with any level of society.
I bounce up and down that social scale.
I can Have breakfast with beggars and dine with a king.
I can sit down with the working class and the blue collar and then I can move among the aristocracy persuading them that there needs to be radical change in society.
But Rishi Sunak confront him with a Ukrainian general and his knees go all weak and his palms go all clammy.
Have a look.
Alright, how you doing?
How you doing?
Good.
Alright.
Good.
Or do you think it's all happening behind the scenes?
It's all happening behind the scenes.
At least some it's do you think they're really getting much done?
No, I don't like me behind the scenes. Yeah, they saw that room behind the scenes
I actually discuss in there like because there's already an agreement that black rock and it wouldn't be involved in
Ukraine And what about, look, there's some serious stories here.
What about this?
National security experts published a letter saying, Ukraine war is an unmitigated disaster.
Russia launched its biggest swarm of drones for months against Ukraine on Monday, the eve of Russia's May 9 holiday, celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, when we was all friends, by the way.
Needed Russia, they sorted them right out on their eastern front.
Striking the capital Kiev and the Black Sea city of Odessa and shelling other cities.
Terrible, terrible deaths.
Terrible, mindless destruction.
Accompanied by propaganda, pursued by a deal with Black Rock.
Yeah, and these are national security experts, like retired generals.
Who are they?
It's not like me and you.
It's like experts in their fields.
Excuse me, I know.
Sorry, I was in the Marines that day.
Of course, sorry.
I was in the Marines that day.
You weren't there.
Well, you were there, actually.
You were filming it.
You were there, but you weren't there!
You weren't there, man!
You were.
Actually, I remember you.
You were very helpful.
Thank you, but you helped me apply some hand cream after that terrible rope burn.
That's right.
I love the way the letter is entitled, the US should be a force for peace in the world, which seems quite ridiculous.
Bloody hell.
Have you not been watching?
I know!
Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Iran pending, North Korea.
I mean, it's just...
A force for peace.
I love the American people.
I've lived in America.
I think you're some of the most beautiful, bright, incredible, entrepreneurial, pioneering people the world has ever known.
But the corporatized military industrial complex machine that has co-opted your country, that has taken control of your democracy, it's a dark, dark force if you ask me.
So these national security experts are writing this letter, presumably in alignment with their own conscience, Rather than the kind of military experts that you get turn up on CNN, MSNBC advocating for war.
Or the retired generals that turn up in overseas autocratic powers like facilitating arms deals.
Biden's made more arms deals with Saudi Arabia than Trump in spite of saying prior to entering office that he would make Saudi Arabia... In his first year he'd made more than Trump, yeah.
So in a sense, he's like the Erling Haaland of selling missiles to... Bloody hell, we sold so many!
This is too much!
Erling Haaland is a man City Strikers scored an unprecedented... Well, Dixie Dean got that many goals about a million years ago, when people wrapped fur around their tootsies to play football.
Right, so he's the Erling Haaland of selling missiles abroad.
Not to offend Erling Haaland, who we all think is pretty great.
All right.
Yeah.
So I guess when we're talking about, you know, that the US should be a force for peace, there was that other story, wasn't there, about the drone attack in Syria.
I mean, we won't go too much into it.
Why?
Well, they initially said, oh, we hit al-Qaeda target, one of the big people in al-Qaeda.
Was it a wedding?
What about this story?
Biden and McCarthy gear up to raise the debt ceiling.
Although who doesn't like a nice high ceiling?
So it definitely was.
They could be sheep, wolves in sheep clothing.
No, everyone knows the catchphrase, wolf in sheep's clothing.
What about this story?
Biden and McCarthy gear up to raise the debt ceiling, although who doesn't like a nice
high ceiling, especially if there's a lot of natural light in the room.
Buy a partisan conspiracy to make workers pay for.
That doesn't seem fair.
As top congressional leaders of both parties praise progress towards a deal that will brutally slash social spending, no one in the media cares to mention the origins of the massive levels of debt accumulated by the American government which have been built up primarily as a result of trillions of dollars in military expenditures combined with the bailout of the banks and tax cuts for the rich.
Exactly that.
Well, obviously, they're saying that we need to raise the debt limit at the moment in order to pay for like America's
debts.
But what happens in so doing, they also slash social spending.
So they'll do a deal where it's like over the next few years, we slash five trillion out of social spending or
whatever that is.
And we'll borrow, for example, two trillion now.
That two trillion, as we know, with the military defense budget, will go mainly to defense contractors.
So this is another way of going, we'll borrow more money.
Where does that go?
Then we'll slash more money from from everyday like money that should be spent on people.

What did Julian Assange say about the function of government?
Think about what Gareth just said and show your working out.
And we'll think of a prize.
I wonder what the prize could be.
We will give you tickets to join us for the community event in mid-July, 14th to 17th.
Vandana Shiva, Wim Hof, me.
You'll learn meditation.
You'll learn how to control your consciousness in the face of an onslaught, an attempt to turn your mind into not just a battlefield, but A warehouse for nonsense.
The thing about this debt ceiling is it's bipartisan.
You know, it's one of those areas we always talk about.
Where is it where governments, both sides come together?
It's usually military spending, almost always.
And in this case, it's the debt limit as well.
Because what they know is, as a bipartisan effort, they'll slash spending on normal people and borrow more money to give to military industrial complex, ultimately.
Brilliant.
Let us know.
Get that.
Find that quote.
Find that Assange quote.
Yeah, join us there in the chat.
Lots of people.
Jim Erthick, Alex Overton.
Yeah, you're trying to do it but I want the exact quote, guys.
I do not give these tickets away lightly.
I really will not.
Okay, so listen.
NATO are drawing up plans to wage war on Russia for the first time since the Cold War.
Now, NATO, as you know, has been a significant component in the escalation of tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
In fact, many of us point to the impeding of the infringement upon former Soviet Union territories as one of the main reasons for Russia's criminal invasion of Ukraine.
What exactly, my friend Gareth, an on-screen assistant, is this story about?
Because I don't I don't think we want there to be a war with Russia, do we?
No, but I guess people... I mean, what I really love in the first line of this, I think it's in Reuters, where it says, NATO will step back to the future, which sounds really cool.
I love that film.
But it is by leaders approving thousands of pages.
Will they do a war, first of all, with Eric Stoltz, and then reshoot the whole war with Michael J. Fox?
That's right.
At great expense.
And it isn't one of those.
Look it up, you nerds!
So yeah, it is like back to the future in terms of we're going back to the Cold War, but this time it's worse because now there's more NATO members.
Marty, we've got to go back and annoy Russia!
And also he had that new uranium, didn't he, Doc Brown?
Yeah.
I think, did he say what country?
I think he said the Iranians.
He might have said Persians.
I can't remember.
Right.
Iranians?
They're the ones that killed him.
Who?
The Libyans.
Oh, it's the Libyans.
Well, that was prescient, wasn't it?
Because a few years later, Colonel Gaddafi was taking a weekend at Bernie's Jungle Drive around in the back of a white Bronco.
All jostled about, all dead and all puffed up.
Undignified, I'd call it.
That's right.
Not nice to do that to Gaddafi.
Hey, join us over on Locals.
There's a red button on your screen.
Press on that if you're watching us right now on Rumble.
And Rumble us!
Just remember that we're meant to be saying that.
Nice.
Press us a rumble, will ya?
Would it kill ya to rumble us?
Rumble me!
I rumble you in a minute.
Hey, do you remember on the last show where I was, like, I was reaching out to Elon Musk and I voice noted him live?
Yes, I do remember that.
To get him on as a guest.
I like that you said live as if you're something to boast about.
We should have put some effort into that and some thought.
Many of you ridiculed me, saying that I was a fool to reach out to Elon Musk in that way.
Oh, so he must have replied then, has he?
No, he hasn't yet, but I'm still confident that he will!
I'm going to SM him.
I'm going to DSM him.
Not SM, that's so sadomasochism.
That's not the album.
I'm going to SM him.
Elon, put this on!
He's got enough to deal with at the moment.
He has!
He's got that new CEO.
Some people say he's a WF person.
Listen, I'm going to message him again.
I'm going to message him again.
Zuckerberg got back to me though.
Did he?
Yeah, he wants to have a role.
Does he?
But only in the metaverse.
Oh.
I'll roll you.
I'll roll you all over that metaverse, baby.
Is that his way of luring you into the metaverse?
He's lured me in.
Hold on, someone just asked a question.
Someone got that quote right, that the function of government is to transfer... Yeah, look.
Illuminated Soul.
The function of government is to transfer public money into private hands.
Julian Assange.
Well done, Illuminated Soul.
For that, you are going straight to Belmarsh Prison.
You will not Get a fair trial and you will remain there indefinitely in spite of the obvious fact that you've plainly done nothing wrong.
No, actually, we're going to give you a few tickets to community and we will continue to campaign for the release of Julian Assange because he's a journalist, actually, and you can't put journalists in prison, can you?
Unless you tell lies about them, then I suppose you can.
Hey, listen, if you're watching us on YouTube, then why don't you join us over on Rumble because I'm going to talk to you now.
Like an adult, I'm going to tell you what's been going on.
During that pandemic there was propaganda allegedly used and I'm not, remember I don't have any opinion on what you should do medically, I don't have any opinion on, well actually I've got opinion and in a minute I'm going to express them on Rumble.
I want you to join us because we're going to show you some of the propaganda, how fear was weaponised.
This pertains to the UK but you can bet your I don't know.
that they've done it in your country too.
Just have a look, we're gonna show them that thing.
Just show them a little bit of the propaganda.
Just flash that for a second.
Just a second, that'll be enough.
There, don't show them anymore, that's enough.
Right, we're gonna talk about that stuff in a second.
Over on Rumble, join us on Locals as well if you wanna go really, really deep.
We're gonna talk about that.
Then what's our hero presentation today?
Southern Arms.
What?
Biden's been selling arms at a rate of knots, knocking them out all over the gaff, even better than Trump in year one.
The Erling Harland of missile sales.
Anything else?
Oh yeah, then we've got someone, our mate Charlie Skelton, who's been to the Build-A-Bear group, and he's come back with a story stuffed with truth, with a beating heart of corruption, yeah?
Join us, click the link in the description, join us over on Rumble.
I wish we were a bit more relaxed when we're on Rumble.
Yeah, I know.
Like, I can really relax.
Good stuff over here.
It just smells different, doesn't it?
Feels different.
I'm so at ease.
Do you know, I might take my trousers off.
No, don't do that.
Actually, no, I'll leave them on.
Right, I tell you, I feel very relaxed, though.
Some people said, don't have them devil horns.
Right.
I think you think they're rewards.
Yes they are!
It's one of the old trophies!
One of the old trophies!
Don't do it for the trophies though, do it for the love, love of freedom.
Love of truth.
Couple of rumbles there.
There they are.
What was it you got them for?
What was the first one?
Truth.
Okay, just, that's it.
That's truth.
That was the, yeah, that was the category.
Freedom.
Best truth.
Truth and free, yeah, truth and best truth.
And most freedom.
Most freedom, Russell Brown.
There they are, truth and freedom.
That's what I call my fists as well.
Time to do Truth and Freedom!
The American Way, baby!
And this, I'm going to actually change that because that is offensive to Christians, especially when we're waiting for the return of our Lord.
Is that alright?
Do we like that?
You do.
Let me know in the chat how you want me to organise this.
Do you want it as a fist of freedom?
But you don't want the thumb on the inside there.
Some people don't like that.
It's a bit like when people have a thumb in there.
Sometimes I do it and it's not... you shouldn't keep it there.
Keep it out there.
What about the one that politicians do where they... Oh yeah, you could do that.
Like the politician had.
Yeah.
You know, look, we're trying our best, because I've realised that.
Don't do that, otherwise people will know that you don't respect them.
Listen, sonny boy.
Sonny boy!
They don't like that.
Let's put that over there.
Like that.
That'd be nice.
Okay, hold on.
A few more of your comments.
No, Elon didn't reply, but I'm gonna DM him on Twitter.
I've been waiting for Russell Bramboot off Twitter.
Now I'm going to get back.
Which celebrity is closest to Elon in your phone?
Could you do them as well?
That's at Daffy, member of our community.
Let's see what celebrity.
So just go into the contacts and see who's closest to Elon.
This is like a game show.
It is actually.
I like this game.
We'll see if we like it.
So there's Elon.
And then, but I can't make it scroll like that.
Search, because then it just goes to Elon.
Hold on.
Oh, excuse me, guys.
Some of your other comments.
Brandy on Gandhi.
Claire Tekris, love Brandy on Gandhi.
Good, because we're going to be talking about collectivism, localism and decentralization and how he predicted the decline of the West.
We'll be talking about that.
It's got to be a celebrity, has it?
As well, it's got to be, otherwise you won't care.
You don't care about just Elon.
It'll be a good one.
Oh, there's some good ones.
There's Shepard Fairey.
It's gonna be better!
Ha ha!
Noel Fielding!
Keep going!
Oh God, there's a tragic person there.
Um... Lee.
Uh... Bill French.
Oh, bloody hell.
Just throw one in.
Actually, I don't like it.
Just pretend.
Say Jay-Z or something.
And now, it's actually Jay-Z.
Wow!
Wow!
Naturally, Jay-Z's the next one.
Jay-Z out of Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, hello, Jay-Z!
I want to come on, mate, the show.
You're very welcome to.
Elon's coming on, so you'll be in very good company.
Very good.
I'm also a multiple award winner.
I've won Freedom and Truth Award.
Anyway, lots of love.
Stay free.
Take care.
See you in a week.
Well done.
That's all nice.
Now, Annie Mashon.
People liked it when we spoke to Annie Mashon.
She reminds me of Bette Davis.
Yes, she has got enormous eyes, ain't she?
Yes.
Look at that.
She is like Bette Davis.
Wow.
That's a good comment, Gypsy Blues.
Well done, guys.
Yeah, that's a really good observation.
She's the Bette Davis of MI5 whistleblowing.
That's right.
We were waiting for one of those.
Finally, at last, we can relax.
Now it's time.
Hold on.
Do you think we've done enough proper news?
Yeah, we've done some great proper news.
Do you feel like we've done enough proper news?
Do you feel like we've had enough revealed to you?
Because it's time now This isn't a problem, all these things.
I think it's alright.
Leave it there, don't matter, that's not the issue.
Where's Zelensky?
I liked it when Zelensky was back there.
Yeah.
I was enjoying it.
He's got another surprise visit to do.
Where's he surprise visiting now?
He's doing a birthday party down the road.
Lift up your duvet, there's Zelensky.
Got any money?
No!
Stop doing wars!
Ah, come on, catch a can of quid.
Zelensky!
We've got to have some sort of peace deal.
Well, it's your country that nulls it out, mate.
Your Prime Minister, the one who looks like a baby bird, come over.
I'm pretty sure Zelensky does not use the phrase nosed it up.
I have it on very good authority from no lesser person than Jay-Z.
Ah, of course.
My mate Jay-Z told me that.
So here, do you think that the world has always been filled with mindless propaganda and filth?
Let me know in the chat and the comments.
Before we talk to Charlie Skelton from the Bilderberg Group, who are essentially an organisation that was set up by Goldman Sachs and various financial titans and runs to this day, potentially influencing Geopolitical events of significant import, like the head of NATO, I think, was there at the Build-a-Bear group.
Yeah.
Is that what his name is?
Yeah.
Their name?
I think so.
That's what they're called.
They were there.
They're all there at the Build-a-Bear group.
Let's have a look at what... Let me do this link again.
I'm going to do it better.
Do you wonder, ever, that if propaganda... Oh, that's a big improvement.
All right, all right.
I can do better than that, even.
Pretend Jay-Z's watching.
Hello sir.
Do you ever think the propaganda machine has been pounding out filth like dumb rhymes and dirty slime for time?
Do you ever feel like the King of New York putting up with their non-kosher filth pork and their empty dumb talk?
It's time for On This Week In History!
Back to town, back to town Oh, it's not long enough.
I was having a drink.
Sorry, JC.
You were reveling.
I was reveling in that.
In your own greatness.
I'll sit back and have a reveling, y'all.
Couple of minutes of reveling.
But as usual, Jack's assets.
Jack in there.
Show Jack.
Show Jack.
He's made the sting too short.
No time for reveling.
Not with Jack Boot on the team.
Marching ever onwards to more mediocre graphics.
Show him.
Show him.
Punch him up, Boots.
Come on, Phil.
Let's see him, darling.
He's put on glasses and turned to face his single.
Isn't he nice?
He's a lovely lad, isn't he?
Yeah, he is.
Let's have a look at, in 1983, credit card fraud was a thing that people were worried about, and sometimes we see these sweet innocents of the propaganda machine, even just 40-odd years ago.
Have a look at this.
If it involves money in any way at all, it is predictable that crooks and thieves will be drawn to it like cats to sardines.
Like, the news people then, he wouldn't be allowed on the news now, would he?
In them, it's pretty clear that cats are sardines.
It's weird, like, analogies to use.
Like, he's looking down.
Yeah, he doesn't look at the camera.
Look at the camera, looking at it.
Look at us!
Look at us!
What are you doing?
What are you so ashamed of?
Well, I actually am naked from the waist down, and I am using a credit card in the groove of my own butt.
And since credit cards are about money, stealing, faking and forging them is now a small industry.
Or maybe a big one.
About a billion dollars.
Maybe a big one.
Well, do your research, mate.
What is it?
Small, big, or anywhere in between.
Looking down here at my own nude, withered, pale genitals and my floss-like pubic hair.
Very light in texture, barely enough energy in it for it even to curl back on itself.
It's difficult to wonder whether or not this industry has gotten out of control, as has my own private part.
...as a House Banking Subcommittee heard today and as ABC's Charles Gibson reports.
They dressed him up like the Elephant Man, shrouded with a... That's stupid.
They dressed him up like the Elephant Man.
He's not quite like the Elephant Man.
No.
He's more like, what is he like, skeletal?
Right.
Who does he look like?
And also, when it gets close to him in a minute, you see he's wearing like little weird glasses under the holes in the thing.
And it's a weird way of doing justice, isn't it?
...wood and cape.
He affected a limp, and they made him sound like Donald Duck.
That's so mental.
He affected a limp.
No one's being identified by their gait, is there?
Like, there aren't going to be other mobsters from the Credit Card Fraud gang going, Hey, wait a minute!
I recognize that way of perambulating!
A mile off!
I'll do you, Mugsy!
If anything, they're going to beat up one of the mob members who does have a limp.
Because that's the only way you do that.
Like, you're not going to say, I made a very, very good living.
perfectly then I'll be like we know here we know who it is it's the guy who
works perfectly it's a classic misdirect to like in usual suspects that's it
they're Kevin and spacey character so say hello guys are so say you bastard and
members of Congress were intrigued by the elaborate preparations for a man who
once worked in organized crime passing phony credit cards I made a very very
good living I went from hot dogs to caviar I went from hot dogs to caviar
Wait a minute... Zelensky?
Is that you in there?
Is that happening live?
Yeah, it's happening live.
Like the voice thing?
I think they're altering it live.
I mean, I hope they are.
It's not just for our benefit.
It's really weird.
It's really weird, that.
The clip runs out there, but we lost it for a sec.
The clip ends here, find it for one now.
Don't worry about it, let's have a look at another one.
This is even further back in time.
This is May 1962, BBC Report R. This is weird, like this is British news asking young people, like you wouldn't get this type of news now.
Someone, a news report asking young people how spring makes them feel.
That's not news, how do you feel?
Have a look at this.
When did you two discover yourselves?
Um, just recently.
What does that even mean?
Discover yourself.
When did you discover yourself?
What do you mean by that?
How is that the first question?
When did you discover yourself to be a waking entity?
Much like Neo.
He believes himself to be living a full life but only a matter of moments later he finds that he's in that pink soap stuff and he's actually in a matrix.
Have you realized that you too are in a kind of simulacrum?
Oh, yes, I suppose so.
We question it all the time, actually.
They're also filled with sexual vivacity and repression.
This being early 60s Britain, and the subject being about spring, and of course spring is the archetypal energy field of pro-creativity, sort of burgeoning sexuality, fecundity.
So the young people there, they're, uh, their horn is hick!
Are you happy?
Yes.
A spring romance?
Mm-hmm.
How else does spring make you feel?
Oh, I don't know.
Happy?
Free?
Free.
Free you can call names.
And green trees.
Water, trees, water, a bird, a boy in an attic, a swan.
What it is, is the world was more innocent.
Have you heard that theory that some people believe that time itself is speeding up, that there's an acceleration of time, that time is not qualitatively indifferent, that time itself is changing?
That you could never objectively understand a unit of time except by measuring velocity and other related components.
So maybe time is speeding up.
Maybe just 40, 50, 60 years ago there was a different kind of innocence.
An innocence that we're bereft of now.
Now that we're covered in screens.
Now that it's like the eye of a fly fragmented into 50 visors.
It's different now.
Still thinking of Jay-Z watching.
It's like there is less innocence now.
These people seem innocent.
Also, over the course of this, firstly there's these two, these saucy couple in a hound-toothed jacket, Twiggy-like, his accomplice, waiting to topple once more into the hay in an under-milk-wood festival of erotica.
And then in a minute, the next people they talk to, You can see the class difference in our country.
It's so sort of pronounced and lurid that people that probably earn a few hundred quid less a year look like they've just been released from a Siberian gulag.
Birds and things.
How do they make you feel?
What do you want to do?
Run.
Why is he asking such aggressive and difficult to grapple with?
What do you want to do?
How do you feel?
That's how the mainstream media was then.
And maybe it still has that sort of sense of itself.
This is the BBC.
Why don't you shut up?
Be two metres apart, simply wear a mask and take whatever we tell you to take.
We need to fund this war.
We're bloody well funded.
What do you feel?
I feel like maybe we should have a conversation about it.
I mean, what if it's making the situation worse?
Shut up!
What do you mean you don't want a war?
This is a very profitable war!
They don't listen to Mr. Obama and Mr. Bush and all these people.
They're better than you!
Now sit in your chair!
Show me your penis!
Oh, I don't have to show you.
I don't have to show you that, sir.
Yes, you do.
It's on your license fee documents.
You show it, and I shall lift it up and look under it.
There you go, my man.
Oh, no, no, no.
When was the last time you washed?
Oh, I'm begging your pardon, sir.
I washed it on the way out the door.
Did you wash it in the sink?
Do you know what we call that?
That's a harlot's wash.
All the way down there and back in.
In London?
Anywhere.
I see you started.
These are the ones that look like they've just come out.
20 year olds.
Look, their baby has only just been born.
Look at his terrifying pram.
Every single facet of it looks like it could lop off a finger.
Like, look how old they are.
You think, oh, I've just had a baby.
But the clue is in the shoe.
Look at the shoe that the young mum is wearing.
It's not a Skechertrainer.
It's certainly not something from Pret-a-Porter.
Look at that.
It's a polished loaf of bread she's dipped her foot into there.
Sort of made out of Darth Vader's helmet.
Spring in the right way.
Yes.
How else has it affected you?
Oh, I don't know.
I think you sort of liven up again, don't you?
Wintertime, you... Liven up, don't ya?
In the springtime.
Look at him stood there.
She's dressed for winter in Russia.
What the hell's going on?
Well, Stalingrad, winter can be very gruesome.
Especially with the ongoing Nazi bombardment.
We'll be lucky to make it through.
I think if I hold the pram up above me head, we might survive another couple of hours.
Look, he's like Joe Stalin.
Who's this geezer?
I remember people in the old days.
I tell you what, time is speedy.
People in the old days, they all look so old.
And what's his badge say?
You're just dead.
You stay indoors and work.
As soon as the sun comes out, well, you just drop everything and go.
Drop everything?
You've grown a hundred layers!
Drop your head in it for a start.
Get rid of that, you loony!
Oh, that's someone's nan.
Look at them, how beautiful they are.
What do you mean, dead now?
Well, she must be.
I've done.
How old do you reckon she's there, 30?
She's probably, I bet she's 25.
I bet she's in her 20s.
In them days in our country, you lot always laughed at our teeth.
We used to pull our teeth out, didn't we?
Get them out of your heads, they're a bloody nuisance!
It's like people of British working class fought the teeth for an inconvenience.
You don't need them, they're always hurting.
Get them out!
You'd go round your nan's false teeth everywhere, wouldn't you?
False teeth in a jar, both of them would have that.
So she's already whipped hers out, 19th birthday.
What are you doing?
Going to the prom?
First the dentist, then the prom?
Get these troublesome nude bones!
Cheers!
And now, going out for a snorkel!
Don't you leave me out anywhere!
And how does it affect you?
Well it doesn't affect me a lot...
and But I noticed today that... GPO, that would be union, right?
It's a general GPO.
What is he, a member of a union?
What's that pin he's wearing on his shirt?
Let's find out.
Now this is important.
Sociological research we're doing here.
Taurus has come out of hibernation and that's wandering around the garden again now.
It makes me feel elated and I think it's the best time for exploring London to walk around.
Nice weather.
It makes me feel a bit mad at times, you know, like that.
Mad in what way?
What do you do?
Well, it doesn't usually affect...
Someone in the chat going, what's the name, Infamousu2, joined us in the chat by the way, going, is that George Orwell?
I don't think so, mate.
I don't think George Orwell, who went to Eton and later Cambridge, stood there in an overcoat working for the post office.
Oh, well, I don't know, really.
I mean, I've just been taking a look.
I've been working in Paris for a while.
The working conditions there are absolutely terrible.
In fact, before that, I was doing a bit of farm labouring.
An allergy comes to mind.
I think communism in the end might start off with the high store.
Ideals, but in the end, we'll end up Emulating the corrupt systems that it was supposed to replace!
And look at these young, vibrant children of the 60s.
The undercurrent is, I think that the BBC dude is perving.
He is.
Isn't he?
He's perving his way through the interviews.
Someone says that baby's taken all the calcium.
Don't do that.
Come on, pop them on now.
Let's have a look.
What's the one before the report of the crisis?
Wasn't there one about Star Wars or something like that?
Are we going to do that or are we going to go to Charlie Skelton?
We've got so many bloody options.
This guy from... I don't know about him anymore.
You know, sort of London in your night clothes.
Yeah.
Don't do that.
Come on, pop them on now.
Let's have a look.
What's the one before the report of the crisis?
Wasn't there one about, like, Star Wars or something like that?
Are we going to do that or are we going to go to Charlie's Skull?
And we've got so many bloody options.
This guy from...
I don't know about him anymore.
I've gone off him.
Do him in locals.
Hey, listen, so we've had a bit of fun.
We've had a bit of fun.
And now we're going to have a look at absolute corruption, hopefully in an amusing way.
You are aware that Joe Biden campaigned on PC, campaigned on credibility.
Let me know in the chat if you remember some of those pledges and promises, because in this report, we reveal to you that the American government not only advocates on behalf of the arms industry, sometimes they do their deliveries as well.
They literally deliver weapons around the world, like Deliveroo or Did somebody say Justice?
But for weapons and that.
Here's the news.
No baby, here's the effing news.
Thanks for choosing Fox News.
The news.
No, here's the fucking news.
China are bad.
Russia are bad.
Trump is bad.
The line between good and bad is a clear one.
On one side you've got Trump and Russia and all of that.
On the other side you've got the Biden administration and the Democrats.
So why are they selling more weapons to corrupt autocratic regimes than ever before in history?
Because wouldn't that be bad?
No, it's got to be good.
How do we make sense of all this?
The business of America, corporate America, is selling weapons around the world.
This isn't just Norfolk Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc.
The American government is directly, explicitly, hands-on involved, sometimes in the literal transportation of missiles and weapons around the world.
You're not gonna believe this story, well you will because you already knew the world was corrupt, told us after all, but you're gonna be surprised at just how hypocritical and disgusting it is.
In the battle between democracy and autocracies, Democracies are rising to the moment and the world is clearly choosing the side of peace and security.
Do you know the way that they talk to you is reductive, simplifying and often downright untrue?
I would say this qualifies as actual propaganda.
He's telling you that there's a battle between good and evil.
He's referring, of course, to the war between Ukraine and Russia, an autocracy versus a democracy.
But you don't have to read much about Ukraine for very long at all to recognise that their politics has been quite complicated, even in recent history.
We don't have to look at American democracy for very long to see that it's actually been entirely co-opted by corporate interests and primarily the military-industrial complex whom he is advocating for, even while he's telling you that he's operating on behalf of democracy.
It's not simple, is it?
You know already that the line between good and evil runs not between nations, states or races, but through every human heart.
Who said that?
Solzhenitsyn, who I believe was from Russia.
This is the real test.
It's going to take time.
It's going to take time.
Let us continue to sell weapons.
The function of this speech is to say, we are going to continue to sell weapons around the world, we are going to prolong this conflict between Ukraine and Russia, even though China are trying to advocate and indeed broker a peace deal, which if America and China came together and said, come on, we're the big boys of global politics, why don't we Bring about peaceful... They're not going to do that because, well, we're going to explain to you in a minute just how dependent and involved they are with arm cells.
It's integral to their model.
Once you know that, when you watch this, it's like perhaps the first time you do hallucinogens.
Not that I'm endorsing such a thing.
Everything suddenly makes sense.
You can understand.
Of course, they say that for this reason.
Let me know in the chat and comments when you awaken to how things really work.
I think we're in a contest, not with China per se.
But actually, China literally to be the one true power in the world that's in control of everything.
That is actually, I suppose, the macro geopolitical argument.
Let me know if you agree in the chat.
China are an ascendant force.
China appear to have their own diplomatic ways of dealing with commerce and world trade, setting up deals in parts of Africa, setting up relationships.
In places in the Middle East.
And America are a long-established imperial power, and they are being challenged, and they're trying to prevent that from happening.
So in a way, the use of the word per se was just a lie.
And I think if anyone says per se, it's probably a lie.
I mean, who says per se anyway?
It's a stupid thing.
Per se.
I think when people say per se, they're always lying.
Yes, your honor, on the evening in question, per se, your honor.
In a context with autocrats, autocratic governments around the world as whether or not
democracies can compete with them in the rapidly changing 21st century and I think how we act and
whether we pull together as democracies is going to determine...
Look at how he's not stroking his chin. In our country, UK, that used to be a sign of you're
telling a lie. I don't know what it means in body language but did you notice he said
democracies are going to have to pull together around the world and that's not a globalist cadre
coming together to impose a kind of...
New World Order.
Oh, New World Order's a conspiracy.
Is it, is it when you disempower sovereign nations, where you take edicts offered from above by undemocratic organisations?
Is that a conspiracy?
When at the G7, the President of the United States said we're going to have to pull together against autocracies, essentially the baddies, essentially that means people that aren't doing things the way we want to, people that we can sell weapons to the enemies of.
How do I make this sound like not a lie, per se?
Whether our grandkids look back 15 years now and say, did they step up?
Our democracy is as relevant and as powerful as they have been.
Don't pretend that we're doing this for our grandchildren who might be annihilated in a nuclear war because of this irresponsible program to arm the world with weapons of every variety.
One thing I will tell you grandkids, invest in Northrop Grumman.
Business is booming!
So let's have a look at it in more detail.
Since President Joe Biden came into office in 2021, he has described the battle between democracies and autocracies in which the US and other democracies strive to create a peaceful world.
The reality, however, is that the Biden administration has helped increase the military power of a large number of authoritarian countries.
So he's saying one thing, but he's actually making it worse.
We've got to do something about all these armed countries.
Well, here's a suggestion.
Stop selling them fucking weapons.
Oh, yeah, but we didn't sell them them per se.
According to an Intercept review of recently released government data, the US sold weapons to at least 57% of the world's autocratic countries in 2022.
So how bad do they think they are?
If you think a country's bad and dangerous, maybe don't sell it weapons?
I don't know.
Let me know in the chat.
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has been the world's biggest weapons dealer.
So, like, when you're looking at why have these countries got weapons, what's making them so dangerous?
What's making them so difficult to oppose?
Well, it's the fact that they're heavily armed and militarily capable.
How did they become militarily capable?
We made them militarily capable through the sale of weapons that are required to sustain our economy.
Either tell people that or Shut up.
But don't sort of sell them the weapons and go, oh no, what are we going to do about these countries?
They've got weapons.
Iraq, incredible weapons.
Incredible weapons.
How do you know that?
We looked at the receipt.
So are you, like me, curious about how these weapon sales actually happen?
Is it like that they come over there and do conferences or put on presentations?
Or are the US government directly involved in weapon sales?
The answer is, they're directly involved.
Listen to how it actually works.
In general, these exports are funded through grants or sales.
There are two pathways for the latter category, foreign military sales and direct commercial sales.
The US government acts as an intermediary for FMS, foreign military sales acquisitions.
It buys the material from a company first and then delivers the goods to the foreign recipient.
So it's actually doing sort of like, did anybody say just eats?
They're like, deliveroo, Uber deliveries, but for weapons.
Where the hell are my missiles, for God's sake?
Oh, they'll be here in a minute.
Direct commercial sales acquisitions are more straightforward.
They're the result of an agreement between a US company and a foreign government.
Both categories of sales require the government's approval.
So, if they truly wanted to impede the abilities of these terrible autocracies to wreak havoc on the world and their own populations, oh no, not another humanitarian crisis.
They could not deliver the weapons, like an explosive uranium pizza, A total of 142 countries and territories bought weapons from the US in 2022 for a total of 85 billion dollars in bilateral sales.
Of the 84 countries codified as autocracies under the regimes of the world system in 2022, the United States sold weapons to at least 48 or 57 percent of them.
The at least qualifier is necessary because several factors frustrate the accurate tracking of US weapons sales.
The State Department's report of commercial arms sales during the fiscal year makes prodigious use of various in its recipients categories.
As a result, the specific recipients for nearly $11 billion in weapons sales are not disclosed.
We sold weapons to various people!
Were any of them autocracies?
I don't know.
Does an autocracy fit under the word various?
Yeah, I suppose it does.
Well, there's your answer then.
And would there be any reason why you didn't specifically say who you'd sell weapons to as you have done in the other cases?
You can work that out for yourselves.
Maybe with your little grandchildren.
Such an ad-hoc way of doing it.
Like, when you have to do your own tax returns.
Oh, it's various.
They're at your door, aren't they?
Like, the second you don't do everything by the book, or you don't park in the right place, don't click every time you use Google, I accept, send me cookie.
They're like selling weapons, say, irresponsibly.
Oh, we may or may not have sold some weapons.
Like they're poets, or something.
I can't keep track of all of my weapons sales.
I'm a genius.
No, don't bother them.
Don't bother them.
When they're selling weapons, it's just like jazz.
These findings contradict Biden's preferred framing of international politics as fundamentally a struggle in which the world's democracies led by the United States are on the side of peace and security.
Yeah, contradict it because it's a lie and it's untrue and if you include facts in the analysis or framing that you can't keep that.
We are here to keep peace and security for democracies around the world.
If you're doing that, why do you keep selling weapons to countries that by your own reckoning are bad?
Could we have a question that I've been given in advance, please?
Because that's fucking confusing.
Opposing the United States and its democratic allies are the autocracies that collude to undermine the international system, Biden has stated.
Who's really doing this colluding though?
Is it those damned autocracies?
Or is there real collusion between the military-industrial complex and the government who are selling and delivering and signing off arms sales to countries that by their own reckoning and analysis are a threat?
Where's the real collusion?
These goddamn autocracies clubbing together all their money to buy some weapons and missiles from me!
Huh, I like those autocracies.
In a speech in Warsaw last year, he said the battle between democracy and autocracy is one between liberty and repression.
Are they always trying to simplify everything?
We are liberty, they are repression.
They are the customer, you are the sales clerk.
And between a rules-based international order and one governed by brute force.
They use deep archetypal languages and images that belie the inability of the dominant state to own its own bad side or dark side or shadow.
Instead of saying we have brutality within us, that's why there are all these unnecessary wars and lies that lead to wars and profitable wars and unnecessary wars and illegal wars and ongoing perpetual botched wars.
Instead of saying that, they've gone, there's these baddies and we have to control them somehow.
Firstly by selling them weapons and then by going to war with them to make sure they don't misuse those weapons.
It's a brilliant system really.
The White House's 2022 National Security Strategy adds that the most pressing strategic challenge facing our vision is from powers that lay authoritarian governance with a revisionist foreign policy.
What's being revised is what the words liberty and repression mean, because liberty is meant to mean leave people alone and repression means controlling things.
Like all the censorship and surveillance and control of information stand up on a stage claiming that you care about your grandchildren when your policies are designed to arm the world in order to maintain the profitability of the military-industrial complex.
Isn't that the problem?
I don't know.
You tell me.
Despite that rhetoric, a review of the new data suggests instead a business-as-usual approach to weapons sales.
Which, by the way, is the wrong way.
Oh well, business as usual.
Weapons for everyone.
Should we be doing this?
Former President Donald Trump based his arms sale policy primarily on economic considerations, corporate interests above all else.
In his first foreign trip as president, he travelled to Saudi Arabia and announced a major arms deal with the repressive kingdom.
Trump's business first approach resulted in a dramatic upturn in weapons sales during his administration.
So there you go, that's what Trump was doing.
Why are they all scratching their heads about, well, why do people like Donald Trump?
Russia must have somehow been involved, even though we know they definitely weren't.
When it's appealing to have someone go, gotta go to Saudi Arabia, business first, gotta sell them weapons.
At least you go, oh, all right, thanks.
It's still bad, it's still wrong, it's still not ideal, is it?
But the alternative to that is not, well, we're not gonna sell weapons to Saudi Arabia.
The alternative is we're gonna say that we're not gonna sell weapons to Saudi Arabia.
Then sell weapons to Saudi Arabia, then claim that we're the goodies and we're part of the solution and Saudi Arabia and other countries are bad and we're protecting you.
Are we the baddies?
Can you not see how that's less appealing than someone going, it's just business.
We've just got to do that.
In Biden's first fiscal year as president, weapons sales from the United States to other countries reached $206 billion.
Biden's first year total surpasses the Trump era high of $192 billion.
This should trouble you.
Because these are actual numbers, right?
And numbers don't lie.
Donald Trump, $192 billion, while saying, yeah, it's business as usual, we've got to do it.
Biden, oh, they're a pariah, we're never going to do it.
In the first fiscal year, exceeded what Trump had done, while telling you that we're much better, we're much kinder, much more progressive, much more on top of it.
How can that be your ideology?
How can that be the mound?
No.
Here's the news. No, here's the fucking news.
Oh, who fresh back from Bilderberg comedy writer and journalist Charlie Skelton to talk
about what's been going on at Bilderberg.
Now, many people say that WEF is finished.
It's over.
That Davos has been killed by scrutiny.
Shine enough light on something and it will be cleansed and surely peril.
Well, Bilderberg, as many of you will know, is the OG Davos.
It was started by Henry Kissinger.
And I believe that Goldman Sachs were involved in its inception.
And Charlie Skelton is, well, he's not there right now because he's back.
Charlie, tell us a little bit about your visit to Lisbon where the latest Bilderberg meeting took place and what you gleaned from this Clash of the Titans where world leaders gathered to discuss what exactly?
Well, hello, Russell.
It was lovely to have my annual tangle with the transatlantic elite.
And the police were very nice this year, so thank you, Portugal's police force.
And it was, you know, as ever, it's tough to report on it because Bilderberg just doesn't like giving much away.
They don't hold a press conference.
They used to back in the 70s, but then they said, no, that's enough of that.
So now, you know, you have to kind of scrabble around for stories.
But that makes it more of a challenge and it's always fun but exhausting.
Some people say it's effectively an off-the-books NATO summit.
Let's have a look at that story from The Guardian, a newspaper that you write for.
all well done for sneaking some stuff into there. Builderworks, Builderworks, Bigwig, Bash, two things are guaranteed, Kissinger
and Secrecy. You said earlier, Charlie, that there are more journalists on the inside than the outside.
What is meant by that?
And if this whole thing is deeply covert, why do they not completely conceal its existence altogether?
Well, to answer the first question, there are some big media owners and also some big editors and some people like the Financial Times and The Economist are all kind of inside the fence, so they get to kind of sit in on the talks, but they don't They obey their Chatham House rules and a certain amount of stuff will come out through their columnists.
But they get to sit in and that's great value for them.
They get to hear.
It's great value for the financiers who are there as well.
But yes, there's lots of journalists there.
And really, it just isn't covered that much by the mainstream media.
I think largely because it's quite hard to cover.
Because there isn't a press release.
They don't hand out footage.
I mean, I found myself handing a little handwritten note to Alex Karp's bodyguard.
He's the head of Palantir.
You're not spoon-fed the story.
You have to go and get it.
And it's tough.
I found myself handing a little handwritten note to Alex Karp's bodyguard.
He's the head of Palantir.
He's on the steering committee of Bilderberg.
He's the guy who is a kind of Silicon Valley billionaire that does Tai Chi and what have
And I just, I recognised his bodyguard, so I went up to him and just gave him a little note as if I was in class and fancied him.
It was like that.
But, you know, that's the kind of level we're at.
And then occasionally I write kind of begging emails to the organisers to hold a press conference.
But as yet, nothing.
So, yeah, so in order to stuff my article with truth, as you put it, you have to go scrabbling around.
For example, a big American motorcade turned up on Sunday morning, like a huge one, just sort of whizzed in with police convoys and sirens and everything.
And I just happened to go to a cafe, and I saw the police motorcyclists.
I recognized them.
And I said, oh, so who's that?
And they said, oh, it's an American diplomat turned up.
But that's someone that's not on the participant list.
and it won't be declared, the meeting.
It will take place kind of to the side, but there's a huge number of diplomats
and politicians there, very, very senior.
You know, like the Secretary General of NATO, there's 27 ministers or politicians there,
including the head of the, the President of the European Parliament.
There's the Allied Supreme Commander of Europe, who's a hugely important American general,
So there's all these, there's this meeting that takes place, but then all satellite meetings take place.
Look, yeah, there's Jen Stoltenberg, the Secretary General of NATO.
Yeah, and you've got your World Economic Forum there represented.
He sits on the Bilderberg Steering Committee.
And yeah, so anyway, it's a huge mess and it's tough to boil down into an article every year, but it's, you know, hopefully managed.
On our chat, Nodaganoko says that that's like having the equivalent to having a 50s list of mobsters.
And, oh God, no, Lady Grey's just cited it as a potential target for stuff I won't go into.
Public relations, fun.
T. Daniluk, really love your show.
Somewhat wispy lately.
Hit harder.
Okay, I'm going to hit harder right now.
What do you think is the function of politicians, media magnates and corporate global titans meeting?
Do you think it's simply to have a tête-à-tête or do you think that it's likely that the conversations at the Bilderberg Influence geopolitics for the coming years.
What do you think is the significance of the attendance of the head of NATO when it comes to the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the amount of money that the American taxpayers are coughing up that appears to be winding up primarily in the hands of the military-industrial complex?
And how do you think the broad increase of centralized authoritarianism will be increased by the relationships between those people present?
What is it that drives you to attend and are you willing to speculate as to the significance of this when what is visible and tangible is as yet not sufficient to warrant much more than just intrigue?
Well, first of all, I'd say it's a really big event in terms of time.
So the head of NATO and everyone else turns up on Thursday and leave on Sunday.
And he's staying there at this conference for longer than he stays at the NATO summit in July, which is like two days.
So it's a big chunk out of people's calendars.
And you look at the people that's attracted.
You've got the Director of National Intelligence of the US there.
So quite a lot of Biden's National Security Council are there. So is the Ukrainian foreign minister, a couple
of other foreign ministers. So yes, there's this weird interface that takes place in private
between these policymakers.
And then you look at the other side of the kind of Bilderberg's participant list,
and it's some of the biggest financiers and biggest banks and biggest lobbyists in the world.
And you've got people there who are just out-and-out Wall Street sharks, you know, like Henry Kravis or Kenneth Griffin.
These are some of the biggest billionaires in the world.
And you have to ask yourself, what on earth is going on in this meeting that they are
sitting in with these policymakers, like two EU commissioners, et cetera, et cetera, et
cetera?
So it's obviously of immense value to these people.
And what that value is, it's tricky to say.
It does require a little bit of speculation, but certainly it's worth everyone engaging
in it.
And you talked about weapons sales.
You've got Palantir there, who Alex Karp, I mentioned, said Palantir handles most of
the targeting in Ukraine.
Then you've got the chairman of SAAB, Markus Wallenberg, the Swedish billionaire.
So these are big defence owners and contractors, and they are sitting there at these talks with senior military and foreign ministers and prime ministers, three prime ministers.
It's obviously an immensely valuable meeting.
And you say, why do they have, why do we even know about it at all?
And I think it's because they need the politicians there.
They can't just, you know, they need, you know, that's the point of lobbying.
Lobbyists have to go into the lobby.
They have to go and meet with The politicians, the underlings, the gophers, they have to go to them in order to kind of, you know, if you're going to be, I don't know how conspiracy you want to be.
If you want to, if you want to pull strings, you have to actually attach the strings onto your puppets at some point.
So I think this is at least where the kind of puppet factories kind of get, people get their little strings attached.
Brilliant.
Well, my accomplice Gareth is here and Gareth, is there anything you want to say?
Yes, I do have a question actually.
Hi Charlie, sorry about that.
I was really interested in your response to Russell's last question because it seems like what you're getting at is the kind of realm of conspiracy.
We hear so much about conspiracy theories at the moment, so much kind of criticism of conspiracy theorists.
But it sounds like what you're saying is this is a meeting of some most powerful influential people, corporations, members of government in the world, meeting in secret to conspire to create favorable results.
Now, I'm just interested in when we talk about the WEF, it's kind of come to represent a kind of institution where maybe the mainstream media might attack so-called conspiracy theorists for talking about how the WEF is kind of Creating policies and influencing each other and institutions kind of coming together to conspire.
This feels like, as Russell said, the kind of original WEF.
Why are we in a space where the mainstream will kind of attack conspiracy theories discussed in the WEF, but not necessarily the Bilderberg Group?
How do you feel about conspiracy theories at the moment and the mainstream's version of it?
Well, it's really hard to be a conspiracy theorist in a way, to be a sensible one, because you have to look at documents, you have to go through the lists of advisory committees and boardrooms, and you have to do some...
and you have to be a bit of a train spotter and just spend time pouring over facts.
So it's, but Bilderberg, it requires you to do history as well.
You need to go back to the 1950s to see it emerge from the British and American intelligence communities.
And you have to see then Henry Kissinger taking his part.
And he's still, he joined in, I think, first one was 57 and 1957, he's still going.
which is remarkable.
And.
So you have woven through it a history of post-war British intelligence, as well as everything else, and post-war British finance, and the creation of Europe, and a response to Brexit more recently, where people who were members of Bilderberg's steering committee suddenly were on the news everywhere.
You know, defending their, you know, one might say their creation at this point.
So you can trace post-war transatlantic history through the history of Bilderberg.
And in order to do that, you have to be a little bit nerdy and to try and shy away from too much.
I mean, I was talking about puppets there.
That's exactly the kind of thing really that starts becoming not useful to do.
Because as soon as you start introducing the traditional conspiracy terms, you just open yourself up to being ridiculed and written off.
And, you know, that's why when I write these things for The Guardian, I'm just relentlessly just hammering away at...
By mentioning lobbying groups and lobbying organizations and who's the chairman of this and who's the vice president of that, which maybe that's boring, I don't know, but I think you have to be boring and grounded in these things in order to not swerve off into too much speculation and it's a tricky line to hold.
It's really responsible, actually, and necessary that you do that, Charlie.
Over here, we can be a little more carooming in some of our analysis, evoking, in part, the sort of emotional response that can be elicited.
But unfortunately, we always have Gareth here to ensure that we are well-researched and well-grounded, as well as other members of the team, and I would include everyone except for Jack.
In that.
On their chat on Locals, Jack Swiss says, see anyone you know?
List of young Americans who are young global leader graduates of the World Economic Forum.
You can follow us on Locals by pressing the red button on your screen now, as well as the fact that we do additional content, like straight after our interview here with Charlie, Gareth and I will be doing a little more content and even looking at...
The truth behind the Build-A-Bear group.
Also, what's this here?
A lot of people know Diagonoko saying, perfect analysis by you there, Charlie.
J Gwynn Wilde, Build-A-Billionaire group, scheming to funnel trillions more into those offshore accounts.
And Suki Koala says, when are Led Zeppelin going to get back together?
Which I think is because you look like Robert Plant, Charlie.
Well, thank you.
My God.
That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me.
It's certainly hardly a detrimental remark.
I saw him once going into a Greengrocers and he looked well sexy and was wearing pretty good boots for a man of his years.
Charlie Skelton, thanks so much for joining us.
It's really great to have your time and attention.
Please remain with us and ensure that we stay within the lines of the reasonable and the grounded using documentation and scrutiny and analysis to demonstrate that there is If not a conspiracy, certainly collaboration taking place between elite institutions, whether financial or political, and it does not benefit you, baby, you can follow Charlie on Twitter at y- at Diyuk.
You can- by following at Diyuk.
At at Diyuk.
Just at Diyuk.
Well, let's post it in the chat because it's getting confusing.
Charlie, thanks for joining us, mate.
Thanks.
Thanks for keeping the research going.
There you go.
OK, listen, so we are... What a show it's been.
I mean, what a show it's been.
Hasn't it been incredible?
Haven't you learned a lot?
Remember, here's the news presentations available in full on Rumble right now, as well as our, I would say, life-changing conversation with RFK.
Remember, later this week, I'm going to be talking to Laura Dosworth about the manner that that propaganda operated within.
If you're a member of Locals, you'll be chatting on there right now.
You just saw me reading out those comments, some of them a little bit sorcery, as well as getting access to the full conversation with RFK.
I do a weekly meditation to help you become liberated from the dominant system inside your own consciousness.
There are podcasts as well and news about events that we regularly do, like the community festival in July this year.
on Y. Join us there with Vandana Shiva. Wim Hof.
