An honest, unapologetic discussion that looks at society, our interactions and lack of nuance that has invaded our discourse. Conversations without boundaries or political correctness. Sometimes controversial, often silly, always from the heart. This is where the quiet thoughts in our heads are amplified to the world.

    Buckle up and strap in for this one folks, you're in for a treat. The latest episode is a conversation with Jack Street, the Founder of Demographica UK; a media platform that puts young people in the heart of political discourse. By cutting through social divides, Demographica's content aims to unite people from all walks of life and actively encourages conversations other media outlets refuse to engage with. We discuss COP26, the Cash for Access scandal, NHS Vaccine Mandates and the Uyghur genocide being carried out by the CCP. We hit hard issues, go off on tangents and cover a lot of ground that isn't being discussed by the established media institutions. I have the upmost respect for Jack, his team and the work they're doing. He represents what we need more of with our current media outlets and is an example that younger people can look to and have confidence in to provide truthful analysis of the issues that most impact them.

    We're back after a nine-month hiatus to find a world dramatically changed from what it was just a short time ago, and progressively slipping into oblivion. Wasting no time, we jump into the main issues facing us currently; namely covid mandates and the fallout of a disastrous withdrawal by coalition troops from Afghanistan. With covid mandates, we discuss the slippery slope of government forced compliancy and where we will find ourselves if we blindly do everything we're told by those that don't have our best interests in mind. Talking Afghanistan, we focus on why this was an intentionally botched withdrawal for the purpose of restarting the war. We discuss the puppeteer's behind the administration and the strategic approach by the Democrats to usher in President Kamala Harris without risking an election. It's great to be back behind the mic, but we may be a bit rusty, so bear with us while we get in the flow. That said, not bad for the first show in almost a year and it's onwards and upwards from here. Hope you enjoy the show.

    Our guest today is Art "Iron Wolf", back for his follow up appearance on the QPL podcast. In the few months since our first conversation, things have changed drastically for the most disciplined man on Youtube, so I wanted to speak to him before Christmas to recap the year and find out what's next. We talked about the growth of his community, the loyalty of the Wolf Pack, the December Challenge programme (he's built and given away for free) and what the future holds as he finishes his overseas military deployment. We discussed Christmas overseas and getting back to the US next year where he planning a "Wolf Pack World Tour" to meet up with his community for live workouts, collaborations and maybe fit in a slice or two. It's always a pleasure to speak with Art. He's as genuine as they come, fiercely dedicated to his lifestyle (which is contagious amongst anyone who discovers his training) and cares deeply about helping people become the best version of themselves.

    This week I'm rolling solo. Talking about the recently announced COVID vaccines and the consequences of realising what some corporations are trying to manifest; mandatory inoculation. We discuss how this commercial coercion will remove the need for a government mandate and serve the same goal even more effectively. Going further, we look at some other digital compliancy initiatives around the world which confirm the want of nation-states to roll out a reset of our economy and a shift towards digitally connected lives. Ultimately ushering in universal basic income and society run on a social scoring system.

    Today I'm joined by Brooke Daye to breakdown the status of the U.S. election. We discuss where things stand currently, what is to come, what could happen and some interesting angles that could develop in the coming weeks and months. We get into the claims of voter fraud, censorship by social media companies and analyse why the mainstream media might call elections but they don't legitimise or adjudicate the legal merit of the final result. There is a lot unpacked in this episode, including why some world leaders have congratulated the new President & Vice President-elect and why some of America's staunchest adversaries have stayed totally silent. We look at what a Democrat controlled House, Senate and White House means in real terms and discuss why that isn't the Utopia some hope or claim it will be. We also discuss the Great Reset, the future of global currency and how COVID is being used as a political weapon to usher in new financial rules that will control us and be used to manipulate our behaviour. This episode is full of pace and energy, Brooke is on great form and we had a great time recording it, so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did and discover some useful information and look at things with a more discerning eye.

    With only days until the 2020 Presidential Election, episode 140 looks at the increased attack on free speech and censorship by social media in favour of the Democratic party. We discuss why these tactics and the antics of groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter make Donald Trump the preferred choice for many Americans and why it may ultimately lead to his reelection. We also look at the continued destruction of our financial and mental health due to the incompetent handling of COVID in the U.K. and why the Conservative government continues to miss the mark with all the policies it implements to help resolve this pandemic. Finally, we introduce a new segment called "The QPL of the Week" where we highlight one example of someone saying The Quiet Part Loud. In the first instalment, we look at Jane Fonda's recent interview where she says "Covid is God's gift to the left" referring to the 200,000+ deaths being favourable to the Democrats defeating Donald Trump in the upcoming election and how reprehensible that statement really is.

We reflect on the state of public transportation in London, the lack of masks being used, despite being compulsory, and the indignation of people to follow simple instructions that benefit the wider community. Going deeper, we look at how the ignorance of this behaviour will impact all of us, but those that are actively disregarding the safety measures will be hurt the most, both physically and financially. We analyse the impending fallout of these actions from an employment and economic recovery standpoint along with the correlation of those refusing to practise proper mask-wearing being worst affected.

    Today's episode is a timely and topical conversation about the escalating audacity of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and how western companies seem less interested in their blatant human rights violations when it directly impacts their financial health. We look specifically at the NBA, an organisation that attempts to be the arbiter of morality and social justice issues in America, but who folded to the will of the CCP at the slightest hint of disapproval from Beijing surrounding comments relating to the Hong Kong protests. We discuss the role of the NBA, it's players and how they conveniently trade morality for monetary gain when the cause is difficult or untrendy. The contrast between their Black Lives Matters stance and the genocide happening to the Quigher population is stark and telling about how committed they are to real activism vs the appearance of action. Brooke and I had a really interesting discussion that shines a light on what many know and even more choose to ignore; the fact that corporations will say what's required to stay in popular favour domestically and ruffle no feathers to expand globally even if it means turning a blind eye to even more severe atrocities than those that seem like priority one at home.

In this episode, we discuss allegations vs action and why you should always reserve judgement in the absence of facts. We discuss why it's imperative that Twitter no longer be allowed the role of judge, jury and executioner and why it's most vocal users are exactly what's wrong with the court of public opinion. We reflect on the awful disaster in Beruit as the city plunges into protest and examine a recent lesson published by BBC Bitesize about White Privilege and ask "Why is there no counter lesson to such a divisive message to our youngest and most impressionable?". Additionally, we provide some thoughts on the anti-racism push from radical progressives and why this will perpetuate the problems we see eroding our society rather than help to solve them. Then we discuss school reopenings and the continued failure by the governments in both the US and the UK to protect its citizens, provide sound medical advice and a plan of action to get the economy working again. Finally, we look at the absurd question by the Telegraph about taxpayers bailing out Transport for London to avoid higher fares in the future and why we'll get stuck with both. Enjoy!
