Shownotes and Transcript Our latest interview with Tommy Robinson covers the recent events in the UK, where Tommy talks about his interactions with various media outlets and the attacks he's facing from the government and police forces. He discusses the rallies he has organized and how they were managed peacefully despite challenges. Tommy also delves into the manipulation of mainstream media to portray the protests as far-right extremism rather than addressing the concerns of British citizens. He highlights the double standards in how the authorities handle different groups and the bias in labelling demonstrations. Tommy shares his experience of being detained under counterterrorism legislation, where he was interrogated without the right to remain silent and pressured to reveal sensitive information regarding his work as a journalist. He emphasizes the abuse of power and lack of evidence to support the accusations against him. Tommy also addresses the recent riots in Southport and the media's portrayal of him as instigating violence, which has put his life at risk. The conversation shifts to the role of social media, especially platforms like X (Twitter) and the impact of individuals like Elon Musk in supporting free speech. Tommy reflects on the support he has received from various figures and the importance of amplifying voices like his to challenge the narrative created by mainstream media. He acknowledges the danger he faces for exposing truths and the need for open discussions to combat censorship and control of information. Tommy expresses gratitude for the opportunity to tell his story, including his interview with Jordan Peterson, which he believes can contribute to a cultural revolution in Britain.

And it's wonderful to have the enemy of the state, Mr. Silenced, Mr. Tommy Robinson, back with us once again. Tommy, thanks so much for your time today. Tommy Robinson: I've had a bit, yeah. I've had a bit. I know. I want to get your thoughts on what's happened in the UK over the last 10, 12 days. And then look at the difference between the mainstream media and the alternative media. And, of course, where we are with Keir Starmer and the UK government clamping down, all of that. but you've been, I mean, I appreciate your time because I know you've been in crazy demand. What have you been, what shows have you been doing recently where people can find you? I've done Ann Coulter. I've done Alex Stein. I've done, I've been on Alex Jones. I've been on, I've been on loads, man. I haven't, yesterday I didn't sleep. I went all through the night doing America, America, America. I've done Fresh and Fit. I've done, I've done so many. Which is a great opportunity because at the minute I've got I'm under a full-on attack where of total lies total lies saying I instigated that I encourage violence all these did from my sun lounger which is I fled the country because of the riots it's all lies there's no evidence to back up any word of what they're saying but they've put a massive target on me huge there's now Somalian's making videos to murder me there's men doing videos of machine guns saying they're going to kill me all of this slander and this these lies are propagated by my government and police force so every video I've put luckily I've still got a platform here on X I've been able to show people here's what they're saying and here's what I said I've called for non-violence people protests I've actually said you're moronic put the bricks down I've told older men to go get hold of the youth take their masks off they're going to go to jail they're angry young men they're angry because their country is being destroyed they're being neglected they've been forgotten they're angry and I understand their anger so I've been saying look you need to show them we had two successful rallies one on the 1st of June one on the 27th of July just before these riots we had 100,000 people there they weren't they weren't. They weren't peaceful because, they were peaceful because we managed it. We harnessed and directed that anger into a festival of celebration and showed people, let us be your voice. What you're seeing the week after that is a rudderless ship, a total rudderless ship with no leadership and organic. They want to portray this organized far-right network. They weren't an organized far-right network. network there was individuals in towns and cities across the country coming out in the streets. Outraged at what they've been made to watch not just for a day or a week but decades and anger spilled over so and what they've done what they've successfully done when I look at now by the government rather than have to talk about one or any issue of open border mass migration filling all the hotels not giving winter um not uh taking away from the old age pensioners when they can't can't afford their heating. They haven't had to address any of these issues, immigration, knife crime, terrorism. They've not had to talk about any of it because they've just gone far right, English feds league. They've resurrected an organisation that's been dead for 10 years and then they've used their propaganda in the media to pump it across the whole nation that there's a hundred far right riots planned when there wasn't one. There was one peaceful demonstration planned that night in Ormshaw and it was totally peaceful. So they created this hysteria and then literally their propaganda machine of the national media run the same front page across every single newspaper in our land run the same front page about defeating the racist extremists so they managed to paint the entire situation as racial and extremism rather than concerned British citizens sick to death of being ignored so their machine and what they've done and then point it all at me so then they can justify whatever imprisonment or whatever they want to throw at me, locking people up for 26 months for shouting aggressively at police, that you can stand in the centre of London and you can stand under the platform of Hizb ut Tahrir, the prescribed terrorist organisation, and you can call for jihad and Muslim armies and the Metropolitan Police Force will put out a statement saying there's plenty of different meanings of jihad. They'll defend your right to do that, but they'll lock you up for 26 months if you shout, if you're angered by the death and murder of three young girls. I want to get into that and obviously how you've been a target for, certainly not as much, I haven't seen this attack on you for many, many years. So this is a new, and people can obviously read your stories, Enemy of the State, the first book. You need Enemy of the State, new and improved, but that's in silenced, the second book. All the links are in the description. But can I, first of all, before how you fit into this and how you become once again a target of the state, what kind of sparked this all from last Monday for the WarRoom Posse, the US viewers who've got bits of this, your assessment from actually what happened from the beginning of last week? When this goes out on Monday, it'll be two weeks ago. Okay. What day did the riot start in Southport? What day? Was it the Tuesday or Wednesday after? I think. I don't know. I need to check. Was it so I we held a rally 100 000 people the biggest gathering of patriots Britain's ever seen and we we know the infiltrators like January 6th we know that the security services would want to disrupt in fact anyone listening to this google special demonstration squad these are organizations that the British government use and they go into peaceful demonstrations and they provoke violence And they send in agitators to create the scene that they want. So they don't want a 100,000 multi-ethnic, different religions, diverse group of the British public having a voice. They don't want that. What they want is loads of people labelled as hooligans, folks on far right, who are easy to dismiss, which means all of their policy failures, they do not have to have a discussion about. But they've met that they've seen what we've done we have combined men and what our instruction was to the men of England and Britain who were on the streets at both of our demonstrations if anyone turns up with face coverings we will confront them ourselves so we within our own crowd if you get four or five men because they can't do it bare face because people find out who the security service are who they're because they'll get found out now within there so every one of these like Like in America, like here, like Antifa, like all these groups, they dress in total black, all black, and then they go smash things up and they provoke a riot. But it was impossible to do that on our demonstrations because we put out the instructions to all of our lads from all over the country. Every football club had representations there. We had the tough men from England. The instruction was if anyone turns up with their face covering, pull their face covering off and pull them up and say, what are you doing? If anyone tries to instigate violence, we'll deal with them. And we told the police this in the build up to the meeting. So you're not going to be needed because if anyone comes there for violence, we will sort them out because we're not going to allow them to commit violence in our name, our demonstration. And we and that would have sent a message to the establishment that would have scared them they were terrified that they couldn't control how this group were portrayed and the reason they couldn't control it because even though the mainstream media on the day of the 27th and the day of the 1st of June where there was no arrest no trouble no violence even though they pumped headlines saying football hooligans fucked we had nearly a million people watching each one live on X and we invited and gave press passes to every citizen journalist there is every rising star of citizen journalists they were who we focused on we give them the we give them first treatment we told the mainstream go away yeah you're not welcome here okay because you're just gonna lie we know what you're here to do so that day both those days which they can't control very fast across all social medias and everywhere was a real portrayal of our movement which was a beautiful coming together to celebrate British culture and British identity it wasn't far right it wasn't racism wasn't fucked and their weapon of the media wasn't successful in demonizing targeting us so we had these events we went from 30,000 to 100,000 I guarantee the next one will be 250,000 so what do they do at that point what do they do well I probably get to the docks the next day. So we're talking about Sunday and I'm detained under counterterrorism legislation, so I'm detained. I think you're a terrorist that was new to me Tommy New to me mate no no No, in fact, let me tell you their words. The officers who detained me, first thing they done was took my phone and they said, you're not under arrest, but this legislation means you're detained. So I said, am I free to go? No, you're not. They said, but this is what matters. You do not have a right to remain silent. You have no right. So they showed me the legislation paperwork and what it says, as they read it out, is we believe that you may be in the preparation or involved in a preparation investigation of terrorism. And then they said, we don't. We know you're not. Both of them said it. We know you're not. But this legislation gives us the opportunity at airports and borders to put you in for six hours we've got from the start of when we started interviewing you. We have six hours. You do not have a right to remain silent. And they'd already taken my phone. So and to make you aware, you have to give us the the password on your phone so we can download every bit of data from it. And I said, and I was upset. I was obviously pissed off. I said, you've got genuine terrorists that you're not monitoring. Genuine people flying terrorist organisation flags across our capital since October 7th that you're not prosecuting. But here you've got me, and I'm sat here now under terrorism legislation. And then they start asking me questions. So then they sit me down. They take me in. They sit me down. And then they start asking me questions. Questions such as, what's the next stage of planning for your movement? I said, so I have to answer this. So what happens if I don't answer this? If you don't answer this, you're guilty of a terrorism offence. So it's basically a fishing expedition to find out what you're up to. Total fishing expedition to find out what I'm up to, who's involved, what our plans are. Which I said, one of their questions is, what's your opinion of the UK? I said, honestly, a totalitarian shithole. That's what my opinion is. And they said, well, can you explain that? I said, I'm sat here under counter-terrorism legislation, and you know I'm not a terrorist. Is you've got me in here so you can ask me questions about my legal lawful activity and work as a journalist so you can dig which is not which is not you're you're absolutely abusing your rights here you're abusing your power and you're taking my rights away from me but I went through and I had to answer their questions one of the questions was how do you think you're going to stop the great replacement so is this is this for real yeah is this actually for real and then Another question was, why can't there be a two-state solution in Palestine? I just said, but I kept asking him the questions. I said, okay, would you give ISIS a statement? Simple question, would you support a state for ISIS to be in total governance and control of? If the answer's no. And then, so we're going back and forward. Six hours they groomed me for, six hours, yeah. Then they come in and said, right, we're giving you an opportunity. And by this time, because they'd sat me there for an hour first before the interview, I'd read their paperwork. Now, they weren't allowed to question me on anything that would reveal sources of information for my journalism, because they're not allowed to know your sources. At which point, when they said, give us a pin code for your phone, I said, you know, I'm a journalist. I'm a full time journalist. You know, that's my work phone. So every bit of information that's on it, you're not having. And I'm explaining to them, I said, let me tell you why you're not having it. Because I have dealt with grooming gang, which is Islamic jihad rape gangs, yeah? I have dealt with the survivors of them to put together a five-part series so far, and I'm working on episode six. Episode six, we expose a politician, one of your Labour politicians, who's involved, yeah? So we have covert recordings. We all set up for my work. Also, these girls don't trust you, but they put their trust in me. So they want to have a voice. The reason why they don't trust you is because we've already exposed your senior ranking police officer in Telford was taking money off the gangs. We've done that in episode two or episode one. We've also, we know from government reports now that your police officers were destroying evidence in Rotherham. We know that they were collapsing cases in Manchester after the death of a 15-year-old girl. We know that your officers have cooperated and operated to conspire to hide these cases and these facts that's a fact that's not my opinion that's a fact so what you're asking have any. Police been prosecuted for the evidence you produce in those films none they haven't even Done it no they've ignored it so the mainstream media of course none and then even they said I said now in one of our episodes that we showed you in telford your police gave the gangs the location of the girl. So you want me to give you the pin code for my phone? I'm just saying this out loud so you understand how ridiculous this is. You want me to endanger the sources of information because that's what it's going to do. You're going to put it on your little computer system that every Muslim police officer in the country has access to. I said, I'm sorry, lads. I'm not willing to do that. And I don't believe you have a right to do that because you know I'm a journalist. So I'm not giving you the pin code for my phone. well now we're going to move from detaining you to arresting you you're arrested under blah blah blah the terrorism act and you will now be transferred to a police station to undergo to to undergo interview under caution and you will then be charged so I said okay so be it then that's that's how I'm not and again if this is meant to be worrying for me you need if you want to prosecute me as a terrorist you prosecute me as a terrorist I'm not going to let these girls down and I'm not going to let any source of information down that's helped me expose your corruption or politicians corruption especially and then there are even they asked me so but and I said information on that phone is legally privileged I'm back and forward you're prosecuting me as you know for contempt of court I have information on there about my case going back and forward with my lawyer and they asked me in the interview in the interview they asked me I had a case um Justice Nicklin where so basically they're doing me for contempt of Court for showing a film. Now, new evidence has come to light since the conviction that Justice Nicklin fell out with his own father, who's a supporter of me. So they would love access to my phone. Of course they would, yeah? Because they're preparing to send me to jail for a film which has now had 42 million views. So they're pretty upset, yeah? But so I said, this is counterterrorism. So they then transferred me to a police station where I'm waiting for my lawyer. I then underwent an interview where I explained exactly the same again. You are not having access to my privileged information and you're not having access to sources of information. So I'm sorry, you're not going to have access to my phone. At which point, and my solicitor had been told I was being charged. I'd been told I was being charged because it's pretty black and white. If you don't give them your PIN code, you're guilty. So this was. On the Sunday. They want to charge you after their six hours of terrorism investigation. And they took me at eight in the morning, half eight in the morning. And by the time I got to interview, so I'd had six hours, and I'm at a police station. They put me back in the cell after interview, and I'm waiting to be charged and get my court date. And they're obviously outside. I don't know what's going on outside of the cells, but this is blowing up. People are outside down the street, I believe. There's 7 million views on the fact I've been arrested on X, which again, remember, if we didn't have X, they'd have total control of the narrative. So they could tell people what they want. And I saw the interview with Nigel Farage. And this is the problem. When you elect politicians who are supposed to represent the people and supposed to be counter to the establishment, room he just parrots the establishment's message every time every time so his own reform voters would have been contacting his party they've got five five members saying this is an abuse of power yeah which it totally is and when Nigel Farage was interviewed on trigonometry he said well we got told it was due to terrorism but it wasn't it was a passport violation well that's nonsense and he knows that's nonsense because our forms as soon as I got out so I get out at 11 o'clock at 11. Morning to night. Morning to night. And they didn't charge me. So my solicitor said, something's gone on here. We know you were getting charged that why haven't they charged you? And I don't think they charged me because the embarrassment of it. And because actually, because I'm a journalist, it's a very difficult case for them because you can't have access to my work phone. Yeah. And this is going to go to court if you charge me. The public are going to watch it. You're going to have to admit what you've already said is that you know I'm not a terrorist. You know I'm not involved in terrorism. So you're blatantly abusing the powers that you have. Now, the problem is, it's like the Patriots Act in the United States. They we have mass problems from open border immigration so they bring in ideologies that wish to destroy our nation destroy our people they act in a certain way jihad bombs beheadings stabbings they do all this then the government bring in new law and legislation which they tell us is to tackle them but then they use it to tackle anyone who embarrasses them or challenges their narrative or exposes their own corruption so that's what they're doing and that's what this was and I was bailed unconditional bail so there's been a lot of talk that I fled the country because of the riots so let's just get the timeline in frame here yeah I'm at a demonstration on Saturday I'm meant to have been out of the country on the sun no I'm at a demonstration on Sunday Saturday I should have been leaving the country Saturday morning I had a pre-planned holiday booked 18 months prior to this with my three children yeah so i wasn't fleeing the country because of riots, because they hadn't started yet, yeah? And the police took my phone. So when I left the country on the Sunday, I had no phone. So then I've left the country. I've gone all the way through France. I was dropping a car off. That was what I was doing. I was getting paid to drop a car off to someone, to my friend, for him, into the south of Spain. So I'm driving. It's not until I even get into Spain that I pick up a phone. I pick up a phone, and then I'm able to take my arrest sheet out, my bail conditions out, my bail forms out. So Nigel Farage, before he makes this video, and if I'm led to believe that he hasn't researched this before talking about it or he hasn't seen the social media posts he's even mistaken or he's an out and out liar right and what I believe is that he's too much of a coward to have a discussion just like I know he come out in the end and challenged the banks closing people's banks but he didn't do it for nine years we had our I had my bank accounts closed in 2009 they all knew this they knew the treatment we're receiving and it's always it's me today it's you tomorrow so stop me under terrorist legislation let them get away with this abuse of power and you know what I covered, journalistically, a similar case to this on Paul Golding from Britain First. He travelled to Russia. When he landed, they abused the power exactly like this. I went to his case because I said, if they do it to him, they'll do it to us. And I went and listened to his case, and they accepted in that case they knew he wasn't a terrorist. So it's a total abuse, but he still was convicted of terror offenses. Paul Golding is convicted of terror offenses for refusing to give the government and the police access to his phone and computers, right? It's a total liberty. They know he's not. Now, this legislation was only brought in in case, say, they know there's going to be a terrorist attack. There's been a terrorist attack here. They know other terrorists are in the knowledge of where the next attack is. They detain them. Then they have this legislation that means you can't remain inside them because you've got to tell us because we need to save lives, yeah? That's what it was brought in for. Not this. not to ask people about their lawful political movement or their demonstrations or their organisation or their cultural movement because that's what they asked me for they grilled me for six hours everything to do with this so now I've been released, At the same time as this, then I think the next day or whatever, three little girls have been butchered to death and a dozen have been snapped. And let me say, six, seven, and nine, three little girls, and that was on the Monday, yes, the day after your... So that obviously... If it was on the Monday, I didn't even have a phone. I didn't even have a phone. So whenever that attack was, I didn't even own a phone. So I couldn't go on the internet, I couldn't message back if it happened on the Monday. I don't know what day. Let me have a look what day. Can I look now quickly? I think it was Monday. I think it was Monday the 29th. I think. I didn't have a phone. I didn't have a phone. It's impossible for me to have a phone because I was driving. I drove for 20 hours. Yeah. I drove the whole way. So I didn't have a phone, man, if that was when it happened. Yeah. But somehow, somehow, the media are saying I'm orchestrated. So these attacks happened in Southport. Now, when you're saying, so your viewers understand, Southport is a close-knit, working-class community. I spoke to one, a few days after the attack, I spoke to one uncle of a girl who was stabbed. He described that when the man come into the classroom, this girl must have been coming back from the toilet or something. His niece, it was his niece. He grabbed her by the hair, stabbed her straight for her face. So he destroyed her forever. Stabbed her for her face. Stabbed her took her bicep off stabbed her in the body dropped her like a bit of meat yeah gone on to the room started stabbing them all but he thought she's dead then he's gone on so this one man this uncle of this child he said tommy you gotta understand that happened to one side the family on my other side the family it was the god door one of the god doors was murdered seven years old, stabbed seven times. So imagine the anger, the frustration, the boiling over. So the local community have come out for a vigil for these goers. So all the men in this town are at vigil. Now, it's impossible to have been organised by any group. It's a vigil. So they're at this vigil, and then word spreads because what visibly looks like an Arab has been detained with a balaclava and a knife in the road around the corner. There's a video of the man being arrested. He's got a big knife. So word spreads. Bearing in mind the tensions that are already there, the frustrations that are already there, the fact I believe that the government or the police come out and said it wasn't a terrorist attack after about an hour. And everyone's like, how can you possibly know that? and bearing in mind so your viewers understand a day or two or three before this a soldier in full military uniform has walked out of his barracks and a migrant who's been in the country about six months gets off a motorbike and runs over and butchers him stabs him and stabs him and stabs him this doesn't really make British news okay the controlled media it doesn't really make the news and as the wife comes out and tries to help her husband and as other people do this migrant doesn't stab anyone. Only targets the man in military uniform. We've seen exactly this previously with Lee Rigby. Michael Adebolajo, a Nigerian convert to Islam, someone we previously made videos about and warned about, him and another Nigerian convert stabbed to death Lee Rigby, and they behead him in the street. Again, they don't stab any passers-by, because what they say in their view is he was a fair and legitimate target of war because he was in a British uniform for military. So when we've seen this one we're then told that this mental health episode was it was mental health so that the man who was totally mentally ill only chose the soldier to stab yeah and there was no political or ideological motivation for that attack now I'm sorry we don't buy it I don't buy it the British public don't buy it so and I'll get I'll tell you why we don't buy I'll tell you my reason why I don't believe them and and what they said after the murder of the three girls is when We're managing the situation of what's told. They're managing. Now, in 2016, and I ask anyone listening to this, go on your computer and Google Russell Square attack. If you're in America, one of your citizens was butchered to death in this attack. You won't see it under the terrorist attack list because they didn't class it as a terrorist attack. So a Muslim went in to his mosque, which was nowhere near Russell Square. He goes into his mosque and he says he wants to kill non-Muslims. Now, rather than bring the security services to the police, his imam said a prayer for him. They prayed for him, okay? There's a process they're meant to follow if there's extremists within the mosque, and that's called the prevent strategy, which is by our government. They didn't do that. So they should have faced prosecution, but they prayed for him. He then left Brussels Square, mentally ill, didn't establish Muslims, where his area where he lived was all Muslims. He went into the area of tourists and non-Muslims, and he butchers seven people, one of them dying, American tourists, And in between butchering each person, he screams, Allah Akbar. Yeah. Which we're told means hallelujah in Islam. It couldn't be further from the truth. Well, guess what? This wasn't a terrorist attack either. This was an episode of mental health. There's another case where a Muslim. How come these Muslims who keep committing murder when they're having mental health, how come they only target non-Muslims in those mental health episodes? sons. There's another case. A grandma had her head cut off in a garden in London. In London, she's 88 years old. She's beheaded. Whilst he was screaming, Allah Akbar. But of course, this wasn't a case of terrorism either. So when, and look, this may have been an episode of mental health. He targeted a Taylor Swift concert. I think we've just had another Taylor Swift concert. Two or three Muslims have been arrested who were planning to blow up and kill and stab have children again at a Taylor Swift concert in Austria within the same two weeks. So the local community around, they're angry, they're upset, they're broken hearted, they're grieving. Another Arab, an identified Arab, looks like an Arab, has been caught with a knife and screwdriver and their frustration boils over into total fury. And then as they riot with the police... That night, a statement's given by the police saying that it was the English Defence League. Now, as soon as I saw this, I knew. As soon as I saw this, I knew what was coming. I knew. I know what they're doing. I know now what they're doing. I know what's going to happen from this. So I knew. Well, the English Defence League, and so your listeners understand, I started the English Defence League in 2009. And I left it in 2014. By 2015, it was gone. Now, if you want to check out Google searches, yeah, because they're trying to hide all this, Since 2017, it hasn't been mentioned. Do you know why it hasn't been mentioned? Because there is no organisation called the English Defence League. So for the lead police officer to say it was the English Defence League is a total falsehood and a total lie and a total manipulation of the truth. The truth is that the British public are furious of mass open border immigration. Endangerment of their women, their daughters and their safety. The rapes have gone on up and down our country. the migrants have been invited in and continually raping and killing from these hotels as well they're in the hotels so this developed into a riot watch my video so they keep saying I've instigated the riots and I've called for violence and attacks against mosques there's that but they don't quote any evidence or show any video footage or any quotes of what I've said in fact what they use is evidence that I've done that is one tweet where I said mass deportations needed now I'm not going to apologize for saying mass deportation is needed because they are needed every one of these migrant men who have come through 16 safe countries into our country who are economic migrants not refugees they're illegally entered our country so they broke the law anyway they're not here for safety because they were safe in France they were safe in every other country they went here they're here for economical reasons yeah many of them many of them and they're not there's not women and children we're not talking about families here and it would be a different conversation if we was we're talking about fighting age military men who we know nothing about criminal records ideologies are they members of ISIS were they members of ISIS how do they we don't know anything but then they're not just born in this country but they're plumped into hotels in every town city and they're done at a time when the British public are suffering they're suffering financially as a country economically can't get a dentist appointment people are pulling their own teeth out can't see a doctor the NHS rate list is ridiculous cancer page after Covid after they after that other manipulation of the truth all of these things have wound up the British public yeah they've been. Crying out for help and they've been ignored and every time they try to have a voice. Like that this evening Southport families have come out men have come out they're. All called far-right racists and that's what the automatic go-to was far-right extremists English feds league and then since then it's been directed at me. Everything's been directed at me doesn't matter what I've said you know what it doesn't matter I've said If you go and search my name now on TikTok, you can't find one video. You search my name on Instagram, you can't find one video. Facebook can't find one video. So whilst they delete the truth of what I've been saying, they use the propaganda and their weaponized media to flood every day for the last seven days, every day. Every talk show, every radio host. And once they started that lie, but Piers Morgan's done a video again saying that I have called for violent attacks against mosques. Now, what does that do when someone lies like that on such a high profile show with Andrew Tate that goes to tens of millions of people? Somalians are now making videos calling for my death and saying they're going to murder me. They've directed so much hate at me. And what it does is to protect their policy failures. People are upset because you, your failure of open border immigration has destroyed the cohesion of our country and our towns and cities people feel like foreigners in their own land you've destroyed it and you wish to continue to shut the public up until it's too late and basically what the labour government have come out since this has said is you will be replaced shut up and sit down and if you don't shut up and sit down we'll put you in jail yeah if you say mean hurty words online we're going to lock you up as well so and they've made I believe direct messages to me talking about people who are abroad who think they can fan, I'm sorry, but give the British public the reality of the situation in their country. He's not fanning the flames. It's reality. I want to pick up just on two of those because I know time is short. But let me just, two quick things. One, how social media has worked. And watching Elon Musk coming out and actually going head to head with two-tier care and highlighting what's happening. And when he was threatened by the Labour government, he just started just reposting all the videos. On the other side you've got the the lamestream media actually putting something different but what does that mean because your voice is amplified on twitter and it is Elon Musk for all the the other negative side maybe stuff he's done actually he is a free speech advocate absolute free speech and he seems to be the main opposition to the labour government Would we do without X currently what would it look like about X well what it would look like is Muslims have rioted for seven days they've walked around with machetes swords baseball bats poles they've savagely beaten English people on the floor who are innocent going home from work none of you would even know any of that because no mainstream media have bought it they've totally gone with a totally different narrative yeah they're painting a totally different picture of the reality of what's been going on over the last seven days yeah they're painting a picture of far-right white racists, rather than concerned parents. They've totally manipulated the entire situation, and every mainstream media has been part of that. Now, the reason why they hate us, citizen journalists, is because we're giving the public, here's what's happening. Now, if there wasn't an X and there wasn't an Elon Musk, people, we're already under total communist control. That's the reality. There is no freedom of speech. There's none in Great Britain. For the last five years, remember, I made a video showing, here's what I said, here's what they're saying, I said, on X this week, it's had 7 million views. And those 7 million people can see the total lies they're telling. But if I didn't have X, people would just believe that I've instigated and I've coordinated and I've sent my foot soldiers to burn the country. Because that's what they've been told. There's no evidence to it. But that is the power of the media. Now, the one sticking thing in their way at the minute is Twitter, X, and Elon Musk. And Elon Musk, I think, will be remembered not for sending things to space, not for Tesla, not for any of these things. I think in history, he's going to be remembered at the forefront of the battle for freedom of speech. If they take our speech, which they've took, they've already took it. We're fighting back to get it through X, but they took it for five years. They control everything you've seen here. And the mass awakening that's happened since their COVID lies is people realize when we were censored, they justified it because we're talking against Islam. We must be extreme racists. But then their censorship spread to doctors, nurses and scientists. So the mass awakening of the public to make people question what they're being told spread as well and that has created a mass mass awakening who do not trust the media in anything they say basically if you read the story and my film, the reason why they're so upset my film that's on 42 million views now totally, 100%, exposes the corruption of the British judiciary and what the American audience and anyone watching this, this film is bigger than my story. This is what they're doing to Donald Trump. This is the weaponization of the media. So they can't get you one way. They'll use the media to destroy you. If that doesn't work, if the public is still siding with you, then they'll use their corrupt judiciary without a jury, which is what they keep doing to me. No jury. Bring me into court. It doesn't matter what evidence you bring to court. So I'm watching now. And yes, I'm worried. I'm watching now as they tell the world I've instigated riots. And I'm thinking, they're going to lock me up. There's no evidence. But they don't need evidence. I know that. I've been through their system. I know what this does. I know what they're doing. I can see it. I Googled my name this morning, Peter, and looked at articles for the last 24 hours and could not believe what I'm reading. I can't believe what I'm reading. Now, this then, so this is their attack, but will it have the adverse effect whilst we've got social media? Because there's now 20 million, 30 million, I think 50 million people a day reading my messaging. Yeah they're people who are seeing the lies they're exposing themselves through this so yeah I'm their target but am i the target you're the target everyone listens to this it's you yet they want to take get rid of me because they want to control what you see they want to tell you how to think and what to think about certain characters and people and ideas they want total and out of control and at the minute Elon Musk is in their way now you saw the attempt on Donald Trump's the assassination attempt. He shouldn't be here. I think that's headed for Elon Musk, because Elon Musk is in the way. The reason why he's in the way is because with free speech, with citizen journalism, we can expose them. We can bring them down. We have the power to awaken the world. We was, with 100,000 people on the street and a million people watching live on the 27th of July, we're on the verge of a cultural revolution in Great Britain. They have to do this. What you're seeing now, but there's a borderline. There's a borderline between coming down hard on us and creating a martyr. And they're going to go, I believe their stupidity is going to create a martyr in myself. That's what I believe, yeah? Not good for me. Not good at all. Not good at all. But for our cause... I just want to finish off with one thing about the support you've had, because I've been intrigued and you've gone through different phases. And I've had the privilege of knowing you back 17, 18 years ago when I first met you. But actually, you've had times where huge support and times where you've been pushed on and the state has been winning for a while. But actually seeing people like Carl Benjamin, seeing people like Mahar Tousi, seeing people like Lawrence Fox, seeing people like Calvin Robinson. And that was one thing of seeing people standing up and supporting you who maybe are regarded as a little bit more mainstream. And that's not a negative term at all to them. And that's been super. But then actually watching your interview with Jordan Peterson, I watched the whole interview with you and Jordan and Tammy. And the interesting thing was whenever he interviewed Elon Musk, it was Jordan interviewing Jordan. And Elon didn't really get much to say. whenever Jordan was interviewing you you had 90% of the time and that showed he was genuinely Interested in your story and wants to do a part two and whenever you've got people like that amplifying your voice and what you're doing to me that shows that actually we're winning and actually we can win this thing To me I was so grateful that Jordan Peterson gave me that opportunity to tell my story and I'm very grateful because I believe my life's currently in danger yeah I believe my life is in danger for telling the truth for waking them people for showing the public what they're not showing you yeah and Jordan Peterson sitting down with me I've watched him for years he's a very influential man he he didn't have to do that and Jordan Peterson doesn't have to cover these topics Jordan Peterson is a very successful intelligent man who could go into and lead a very comfortable life so I have massive respect and admiration for anyone who decides to put their face on the forefront, take risk of sitting down with people who they don't. And this isn't to think that Jordan Peterson agrees with me on everything I stand for, because he said to me he doesn't, yeah? And that's the same with everyone. But to sit down and have open discussions is what we need. We need massive open discussions. We need more speech, not less of it. We don't need you to control our speech. The public aren't stupid. If I'm wrong, it's like when this judge tried to hide this film. Well, if it's such a clear-cut case, why don't you let the public see the evidence? Why do you need to hide it? And 42 million people have watched that film. I guarantee you there's not one. The public now know that I was prosecuted. I was bankrupt. All on a lie. My only crime is telling the truth. That's my crime. And if you want to send me to jail for telling the truth, then you do that. Because that's going to say more about you. And I'm lucky now. Am I lucky? I'm lucky that 42 million people have watched it. So I know, no matter what happens here, Because last time when they convicted me of this case, they just used their weapon, the media, to tell everyone I lied. Well, now, that narrative ain't going to wash. You can't do that this time. You want to send me to jail? Everyone knows the soldier truth. 42 million people, 52 million, 62 million, 100 million people by the time you get me in a prison cell. 100 million people. So for me, success. Success. Well, not for me personally. For my cause. My cause is about, and this is. Even like Nigel Farage. I believe Nigel, Nigel, speak up. And like, I think he wants to be part of the establishment. I want to bring the establishment down. Yeah. I want to bring them down. So I want to bring their fraudulent, corrupt politicians, the sell-outs, sell-outs to the new world order, sell-outs to the World Economic Forum, sell-outs. None of the, they're not working for the interest of the British public. So, but yeah. Anyway, Pete, I think I've got my next one.

Show Notes and Transcript Our good friend, Tanya Gaw, founder of Action4Canada returns to Hearts of Oak for a discussion on protecting faith, family, and freedom in Canada, highlighting challenges in education and Traitor Trudeau's stance on Israel. She advocates for nationalist movements, scrutinizing globalist influence, and preserving Canadian values. Emphasizing unity and upholding Christian-based culture, this podcast underscores the importance of challenging mainstream narratives for a secure future. Tanya Gaw is a committed Christian and defender of faith, family, and freedom. She is the founder of Action4Canada which is a grassroots, not for profit organization committed to upholding the Canadian constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Tanya began her journey in 2015 in response to the government passing legislation that severely impacted Canadian democracy and freedom. Tanya has been working to give the silent majority a voice through letter writing campaigns, petitions and organizing events, to help raise public awareness. Action4Canada not only educates people on what is happening, they effectively equip, encourage and mobilize Canadians to take action. Tanya also retained Rocco Galati, a top constitutional lawyer, and commenced legal action against the BC and Federal government as of August 16, 2021. This action is in response to the government's COVID-19 emergency measures wherein they have committed egregious crimes against the citizens of Canada in an effort to attain global control. Her greatest mission is to declare that Canada is founded on Judeo Christian biblical principles, forming our laws and our values, and provides a system of governance that sets us apart from totalitarian, extremist and communist regimes. Because of it…we have the freedom to believe…or not to believe…without fear of persecution, oppression, and even death. Connect with Tanya and Action4Canada...

It's been a long time. Tanya, thank you so much for joining us once again today. (Tanya Gaw) Thank you, Peter. It's good to be here. I always appreciate the work that you do. So I'm excited about the conversation today. That's great that we can talk from Europe all the way over there to Canada and connect and have a conversation about the work, certainly you're doing and I think it massively helps our viewers understand and of course the WarRoom Posse will be watching so they will get just north of the border there of what is happening, but obviously if Tanya's been with us twice before, if the viewers or listeners have not followed her then you can follow her, there is her Twitter handle @gawtanya and of course action4canada.com is the website and shows the the great work that Tanya is doing there in Canada of course and you're there just in case our viewers haven't because it's been a while, so you're the founder of Action 4 Canada, protecting faith, family, and freedom, educating, equipping, encouraging, and mobilizing Canadian citizens. And I always find that when you speak to someone in the country, you learn from what they are doing, irrelevant to whether it's just for that country, you can take away principles and ideas and learn what is happening there. But you put out weekly videos along with your email list, along with everything else on the website. And one of the most recent ones caught my eye. And it was, I think you start looking at education, and then we'll get on to the whole issue of Israel and Hamas, I can't call it Palestine, Israel and Hamas, and what is happening there and how that has affected, we've seen the effect, certainly our media or education system across the board here in the UK, I think it's the same for there. But you begin the video with talking about schooling and education and how the, I guess the state system is indoctrinated. Do you want to just let us know what the situation is. You mentioned home-schooling. What is the education system like in Canada as you look at it as someone who loves freedom and as a Christian? It's dire, as it is in our southern friends in America and across the waters to the UK and Europe. I mean, this is a global attack against our kids and against the natural family. And so our education system with Trudeau being fully on board with the UN and the WEF he's just going in lockstep with whatever you know they suggest or demand and so as a signatory state I always say that the UN is an unelected body interfering with our democracy worldwide in western nations we've got to fully pull out of the UN and so with the comprehensive sexual education which I'm sure most of your viewers are very familiar with, it comes by a different name in Canada. It may be SOGI 123 in BC and Alberta. The Win Sex Ed Plan in Ontario, and by different names in other provinces, Cirque, etc. And so what we did many years ago is, in 2016 is when I became aware about this agenda and the sexualization of our children, the indoctrination, and started to really try to bring attention to it. But Canadians weren't ready to hear it. Oh, people should love who they want to love. And it just needs to be acceptance. And this is an anti-bullying program. And it's like, no, it's much more sinister than that. And so in a way, COVID has been a friend of ours as far as the information war is concerned, because it finally brought to the attention to citizens around the world that were under attack by a globalist, Marxist, communist, whatever you want to call it, agenda and anti-family, anti-Christian, anti-life. agenda. And so finally, I had about 55,000 members that were signed up with Action 4 Canada when COVID hit, and it pretty much doubled that. And then at some point, I finally stepped out and I started talking to the individuals who hadn't been following me for a while about the LGBTQ sexual activist agenda that had infiltrated our school system. And so when we see, of course, as the other side is starting to lose control. I call it like a tug of war. There's that mud in the middle and the LGBTQ have had a good handle and been pulling us into the mud and our families and our kids. And now that with all of the awareness and all of the work like Action for Canada and organizations and people like yourself, we finally are starting to pull the LGBTQ in the mud and they're losing grip. And so when that's happening though, They want to up their agenda. And they became more aggressive and more transparent. And people in parents, the average parent can't ignore because their children are coming home and saying, I identify as the opposite sex. So what we do as an organization, we're not just there to provide information and scare the bejeebers out of people. We actually want to give them resources and to help them to actively get involved. So on this subject, we created notices of liability to serve to school boards and trustees and to say that you can't sexualize children and you can't groom them, you can't, you know, extort them, exploit them, etc. And so we have just really been pushing back. And then the other thing we're doing is we have a flyer and I have over 100 chapters nationwide. And so our teams within the communities go to the schools and they actually hand this flyer, this truth bomb into the the hands of parents who are dropping their kids off, you know, going and working two jobs just to put food on the table or pay the rent or the mortgage here in Canada. And so anyways, by that we've created a lot of awareness. And so it's really bad. I'm sure that you've gone and you probably had many special guests on talking about the fact that the programs I did a special in October. It's on my website at the top of political LGBTQ. It's under current issues in our menu. And I proved a whistle-blower had given me a teacher's resource and it was called a teacher's toolkit. And within that toolkit, it was for ages kindergarten to grade six. And I highlighted in yellow the conversations that they were having with kindergartners, grade one, just dropping that little bit of indoctrination, starting the thought about two genders, how they were nefariously coming in and beginning, starting that allyship. You know, they talk about LGBTQ allies. And in one of them, it even went towards, like, if you're a friend, now this is like grade three, if your friend identifies as the, you know, opposite sex, and their parents don't support them, kind of like, what will you do? And then it says, if your friend identifies as an owl. How would you respond? And of course, that's the furries. That's the bestiality part of it. You just drop, you know, a little thought like that into a child's brain and it grows. And then they begin to grow with the allyship and turn kids away from their parents and that they're loved and accepted here. year. And then of course, they have the clubs that meet at school, the Gay Straight Alliance clubs. And of course, they're changing those names now because we're on to them. And it has, you know, a bad name. So let's change it to, you know, the Rainbow Club or however it works. So we're finding on mass, it is a 911 crisis in Canada, the amount of kids that are being indoctrinated that are identifying as the opposite sex. I don't believe with one second that there There is one trans child that's a complete and utter lie from the pit of hell. And so now it's a matter of fighting back. And one of the ways we did that is in Canada is a big country with all the provinces and territories. So I always look at France, right, and the French resistance and, you know, look back at strategies of war and this being an information war. How do you deal with a country with this kind of landmass and get the right information and people mobilized. And so that's where our chapters come in. But one of the things that happened in Saskatchewan, which is a province in the middle of Canada, is that our chapter leader had found out that they were going to put SOGI 123 and implement it last September into the education system. And that's... SOGI is already in BC and Alberta, and it's the ARC Foundation that brought that in, and they want to be in every province across the nation. So we started lobbying the government. We served the notice of liability. We provided them all kinds of copious information showing the harms that this was causing to children and that they had a duty to prevent harm. And that now that they knew this and had all of this information, they were looking at potential legal actions in the future. Well, by August, they had reversed their decision and they banned SOGI and they banned Planned Parenthood because they had had these sex cards that grade nine kids accidentally got into their hands. And so we lobbied them and said no third parties should have access or teach any sexual health within our schools. And so that's been expanding in New Brunswick. And there's the fight going on in Alberta. We're doing work in the background there as well. And there's a battle going on in Saskatchewan because the LGBTQ. They are furious that they lost this one. And so as they do, they try to victimize and get in the courts. And I believe we're going to win. And I believe that we're winning this ideological war. I'm very encouraged by what's going on in Europe, in the UK with the Tavistock, what's going on in the United States. 26 states are completely annihilating the LGBTQ, DEI, globalist agenda. So there's lots of progress being made, but it seems to be a ripple effect. Europe and the UK were very much ahead of us on the problems that we're all facing, mass immigration, LGBTQ, DEI, et cetera. Then the United States, it increased when Obama, was sitting president, and then when Trudeau got in is when he started to fast-track these agendas as well. And it's overwhelming what we're being hit with, with the Liberal government and the NDP aligning with them and the Bloc Quebecois. So we're in quite a crisis in Canada, but people are waking up and we've got hope for the future. Things are really turning around. And that's a massive issue, and I'll leave that to our viewers and listeners to delve deeper. I just want to give a taster because I think that's really essential. But there is another issue that Europe are ahead of the curve, and that's Islamization. And the EU have traditionally been very anti-Israel. The UK have generally been more supportive of Israel in relation to certainly the rest of Europe. But then we have the current situation sparked off on October the 7th from that horrendous attack into Israel. And you touch on this, and I'd like to maybe expand on this issue, the Canadian response to what has happened there over in Israel. What's the Canadian government's general response? I'm assuming I kind of know where to pigeonhole Trudeau, but I'll let you tell me. What's the Canadian government's kind of outlook traditionally been on Israel? Well, under Stephen Harper, Canada was fully in support of Israel. When Trudeau took office, when he was running for office, he was supporting everything and anything that would get him a vote. He's just the most ridiculous man on the face of the earth next to Biden. I think they're competing for that position. And so, yeah, what happened is when that had taken place, I mean, the whole world was shocked and appalled and horrified at the attack and what Islam, well, this is, you know, throughout the Middle East, they've come in, subjugated, overtaken, but through cruelty, every possible country they could. And they're working on the Western nations as well. And it's been no different in Canada. So Trudeau is a traitor. He is hated by the majority of Canadians. He's a wannabe dictator. And he's made his allegiance to China very clear. He's made his allegiance to Islam very clear. He's made his allegiance to Calestani Sikhs very clear. He is just, you know, he's like he's bipolar. He has multiple personalities. And the whole thing is, you know, it's all falling down on him, because you can't continue to support all these different individuals, because they're all vying for position, and all vying for his attention. And this is a war going on in Canada for our very existence. And so Trudeau turned his back on Israel. When everything came out about UNRWA a few months ago, was it in February? You know, the United States pulled out their funding right away, Canada, you know, through pressure said they were going to stop funding, they paused, paused funding. But as it turned out, the next payment was in April. And by then he had already lifted it. So as we saw, the tunnels were beneath, underneath UNRWA, no way that they're not involved in these attacks and this war against Israel. We see what they're teaching the children in the school. And so they should be completely defunded. And we're going to be we're working on that. The purpose I'm saying that is Justin Trudeau, prior to this, has funded terrorism. There's a case by Tom Quiggan against him with all the evidence possible to prove that through funding certain Islamic organizations in Canada, those organizations are funding terrorism. No different with UNRWA. So by funding UNRWA, Trudeau is funding terrorism. And so he's made this. Then he went with voted in favor of the arms embargo, which was a huge turn of events. And that had escalated, I guess, the foundation of where or the legitimacy in the hearts of the Palestinians in Canada. So they feel very much like all this pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist events that are going on in our streets are very similar to, of course, what's going on in Europe and the UK. Hey, we have Naveed Awan. And I mean, he's out there preaching the hate. He hasn't been arrested or locked up. And I think that his time is coming. We've managed to get some of his social media shut down and de-platforming him. And so it is happening. And so yeah, Trudeau, as far as I'm concerned, he's turned his back on Israel. And as a result, I'm working with a gentleman by the name of Majed El Sheffi from One Free World International, and we started a task force for Israel to change the direction of the support to say, because biblically speaking as a Christian, God says that we're to pray for the peace of Israel, of Jerusalem, and we're to support Israel. That doesn't mean I support Netanyahu. Just like if we had gone at war and America attacked Canada, I would expect the world to be supporting Canadians to say, we support Canada and their right to exist. They don't support a traitor like Justin Trudeau. And so I don't have much, many words about Netanyahu. We don't know the whole story. But at that point, I 100% believe that Israel has the right to exist. And Israel goes beyond the borders as to what was designated to them. Israel encompassed so much more land historically than where they are now. So we're very much about proclaiming the truth, countering Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party's position and the NDP. And yeah, so I don't know where you want to go from there as far as Israel is concerned. And as well, I will go a step further that Trudeau is very much, he's going to fail in the next election. Other than the possibility that they, of course, cheat and do something with the polls. I don't know with this much attention on them how they could do that, but who knows? That's how dictators stay in office, but we've got quite a war. We know that. And so he wants the Muslim vote. He wants the Khalistani Sikh vote. So he is flooding Canada with all of these immigrants, and nobody is expected to integrate and assimilate. And it's it's getting very concerning and so now what he's done is he has promised to bring five to six thousand Palestinians in from Gaza into Canada well back in just.. Let me come down, I just want to, the political side and then I definitely want to get on that because I saw you put up information about that and it's intriguing but what's the, because I know we've had, ages ago, we had Maxime Bernier on, interviewed him, and they have not had the electoral breakthrough we were hoping, maybe the last election. Of course, election cycles come and go, so there's always the future one. But then the Conservatives have changed their leader. What is the kind of pushback on Trudeau? Are the Conservatives actually, have they decided to be Conservative? Conservative, Maxime Bernier's party, is that going to rise up? Because obviously the NDP have fallen completely in bed with Trudeau. So where is the kind of pushback, the opposition to Trudeau? We've got a lot of afraid Canadians who are going to vote for the Conservative Party because they so badly want to vote Trudeau out. And we know what that means when you're voting for a party to get somebody out. It doesn't necessarily mean we're going to be in a greater position. Once the Conservative Party gets in, there are good sitting Conservatives, but they've also been infiltrated by globalists, by people from what they refer to as the left, with, you know, an anti Canadian or anti-Christian viewpoint. And so there are concerns and I'm, actually Maxime's going to be on my show at the end of the month. I was just speaking to him the other day. He's a dear friend. And, I have engaged with Maxime since 2018 is when I first met him personally, met with him in March of 2019, because I wanted to try to help affect the policies of the organization andbe a voice in his ear. So, because I had been working already for four or five years at that point. And I was, it was very clear to me where the Conservative Party had headed, that no matter how many letters we wrote to the Conservative Party, they weren't going to change their view, they weren't going to do the right thing. I mean, they had a majority that, you know, the country was headed in the right direction, but they decided to sign on to some of the, Stephen Harper, he was not actually a friend of Canada's, He was signing on to the Sustainable Development Goals. He had opportunities to appoint judges and senators, and he didn't do that because he was going to appoint some that were LGBTQ friendly, it's reported, and he thought he would lose the election. Well, he ends up losing the election and Justin Trudeau comes in and floods our Senate and the judiciary with activists. And so even our judicial system here in Canada, as you can imagine, it's hard to get things done. But we have a legal action moving forward with Rocco Galati and we're persisting in that. So anyways, with Maxime Bernier, in supporting Maxime, what we've done is we've changed the trajectory, we've changed the political conversation. Because now Pierre Poilievre, who's the head of the Conservative Party, has had no choice because of the rising grassroots movement in Canada, but to start speaking about the issues that are of concern to us. Previously, it was the squeaky wheel that gets the attention that was less than 1% of the LGBTQ, less than 1% of the Muslims, but they were working around the clock and very effective. And so it is vital that people get involved. So the political situation is concerning. Pierre Poilievre has come out and he is finally talking about the LGBTQ issue and the concerns with our children. But as an example of where Pierre Poilievre is at, the other day, an MP from Alberta was in a little interview and he was asked, he's pro-life, he's a strong Christian. And he made it firm that he believes that there should be a law against abortion. And then he was asked if there was a vote regarding same-sex marriage, would you vote against it? And he says, I am, as a Christian, he says, I believe in the traditional family unit. it. Well, not only did the Liberal government, the Liberal Party and the media attack him, but so did Pierre Poilievre. He's such a wimp. I mean, the leaders of the Conservative Party have been so spineless to support what are the traditional values on the Conservative Party's own website. And I've even written to them when Andrew Scheer, I said, you owe, when Andrew Scheer was head of the party, I said, you owe all your members a refund when they voted in same-sex marriage. It says clearly on your website that you support traditional values. This is not a traditional value. And so it is a little concerning still here. But Maxime, he's got so much support. But our problem is that people are afraid to vote for him because they say it'll divide the vote. But it won't. If we get that, I've been having him on and advising. Canadians don't know what the populist movement is. They don't understand nationalism. And so we're educating them on that. And so these big wins in Europe right now are absolutely amazing. Because I feel it is a look at Canada's future because we're a few years behind you on everything. I feel like we're going to get there. So we're going to continue to support Maxime Bernier and push him into a win. I'm even hoping that some of the conservative MPs will do the right thing and cross the aisle. Step over into the People's Party and help get them ignited so that we can truly take back Canada. Yeah, I remember having conversations with friends in the media years ago about People's Party of Canada and discussing Maxime Bernier or back when you had barely heard of him. And it was thanks to Valerie Price that she connected me with Maxime as she connected me with you. So thanks to Val for those connections. But that's the political side. But we touched on the Islamization, and I was at a demo today Well, I didn't mean to be at a demo today. I went to film with Naomi Wolf today outside court. There was a pro-Hamas demonstration, very vocal. And they were against the LSE, London School of Economics, have got students protesting on this issue. And they want to move them on because they want to get back to education, which is what they're about. And of course, the students have gone to court to fight LSE. And we've seen weekly demonstrations through London. And that's why, as Melanie Phillips calls it, it's Londonistan. But what is it like? Are there demonstrations there? How is it affecting kind of universities and education establishments? Because what I saw today was frightening. Students brainwashed because they couldn't even have a rational conversation. It was just they would shout louder at you and wave their fists in your face. And there's no understanding, no meeting of minds, no conversation. But what is it like in terms of demonstrations, in terms of kind of students being captured by this pro-Hamas ideology? Right. So it's very similar to what you're facing, America is facing. And I believe these were all sleeper cells that the Muslims had infiltrated Canada, the UK, America, all Western nations for this purpose. And so I believe that October 7th was just not an attack against Israel it was a planned attack as we're seeing unfold real time in front of us and so that these cells were ignited that they were ready to go and that they are being well funded and there are ties that go back of course to George Soros and other philanthropists that hate the world hate life I don't know why with all their desire to lower the world's population, they don't do us all a favor and do themselves. And it's like, put yourself in one of those little euthanasia death pods and let's get her done, right? Let's make the world a better place. But anyways, yeah, so this is what we're seeing in Canada. This is one of the reasons to go back to education as well. We also have, when we're yelling 911, you know, get your kids out of the education system, home-school them. We have a whole home-schooling page that helps them. We vetted home-school associations across Canada. And we're even advising parents, don't pay to send your kids to university. You'll never recognize them when they're out. And you already probably need to do a little deprogramming from, you know, how they captured them through their time in public education. And so this is what we are witnessing here in Canada as well, the protests. And there's, I refer to this fella Naveed, he's a real agitator and a troublemaker here as far as the pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist community. And he had met with a tech college in Ontario. And he ends up posting and celebrating over the fact that they were in the office demanding their financials. This is all part of the diverse. What do they call it? Boycott BDS boycott. Yeah. Divestment. And so they want to see the financials to see if they're doing any business with any Jewish people in the community, business community or with Israel. And I'm like, how dare you? and and so the there will be teams that will be having conversations to counter that and to go in and say why is it you felt a need to have a conversation with these people and sit down with terrorists you we don't negotiate with terrorists you tell them to get out the door get out the door and then you contact the police and so now we understand what it is that they're doing we're going to be going to these institutions letting them know what their rights are and what they should be doing if terrorists walk in their door, and try to negotiate with them. And I mean, Israel is, it doesn't matter where Trudeau stands on this, Israel is our ally. They're the only democracy in the Middle East. And so we will stand with them, we will support them, and we are working to do whatever we can to counter them and apply a lot of pressure to our police. And to Premier Doug Ford. He came out and he's a lot of talk. And there's been, of course, a church that just recently burnt down. There has been gunshots at Jewish schools. And so he finally came out and said, you know, this is disgusting. We won't tolerate this. And it's like, what are you going to do, Doug Ford? And, you know, you're a useless talking puppet. Let's see you do some action. And so recently there was last weekend an Israeli march. It takes a march for Israel. It takes place every year. It's annual. And Naveed and his mob, his little mob of terrorists, had decided to try to infiltrate. And the police were very much aware of it. They came out in the masses and they shut it down. And just the fact that we're in this position and living like this in Canada is shocking. And so, yeah, we're at war. And I'm calling for, I have a petition for a moratorium on immigration. We want to shut down all immigration from Islamic nations. And I want to see all manifestations of Islam shut down in Canada. Every mosque, which are mostly all our tax dollars, are paying to have them monitored 24-7 because they're terrorist cells. And you know the hate that is rising in Canada that's completely associated specifically with the Muslim population and I know that's not politically correct to use the term Muslim people want to use Islamist or Islamist extremists or Muslim extremists but it's it's all the core is Islam this is not a religion of peace, it's a dangerous political system and I'm not sure if you're aware of the, what do they call that the explanatory memorandum that was in the United States, it was found in a second basement in the Muslim in somebody that was high up in the Muslim brotherhood and it was used in one of the largest cases on terrorism in the United States and is in the Muslim brotherhood so it was basically a document. On how on their plan to infiltrate the west and I'm just going to bring it up here it says in the Muslim brotherhood's own words the process of settlement. Is a civilization jihadist process with all the word means the Ikhwan Muslim brotherhood must understand that their work in America or Canada UK etc is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of believers so that it is eliminated and God's, Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions and this is exactly verbatim what they're doing the government, has I did a huge report on all of this our intelligence has reviewed it they told me it's accurate and if it's accurate we've had our intelligence come out, I don't know if you've heard about all of it right now it's a huge topic in Canada about foreign interference in our government and so we have many elected officials at all levels of government with dual citizenship, they need to be ousted. They need to be removed. Many of them are Muslim and Calistani Sikhs. How stupid are we? And because we're so nice, Canadians that we feel nobody should be discriminated against and everybody should be able to, you know, worship their own God. It's like that doesn't work. Multiculturalism is a complete failure when the host values countries aren't being embraced. And then you tell me where in the 56 Islamic majority countries where I, as a white Christian woman, could sit in office. Tell me how that would work in China, Pakistan, North Korea. In any non-Western, non-Christian nation, tell me where I would be accepted to run for office. So why are we in our Western nations, why are we allowing other citizens from other faiths to run for office? It needs to be stopped all around the, I want to say in every Western nation, UK, because they have infiltrated and they are advancing incrementally their own agenda and trying to shut us down from protecting our sovereignty as a nation. And I'm very upset about that. And I'm not going to be silent. I'm not worried about political correctness. We have a right to protect our borders and to protect our country. And we are a Christian nation. And you come here and you respect that. Or I tell you, we'll pay for a flight and send you back to where you came from. And just on that note, when we're talking, we'll probably lead for a minute to the Palestinians, is that in, I don't know if you saw it, but in Istanbul, Turkey, 1.5 million Muslims came out in support of Palestinians. Wow. It was just this sea, and they all had red flags, or I don't know what they were carrying. It was sort of from this distance. And I'm like, why aren't we shipping all the Palestinians to Istanbul? What is the purpose that Trudeau is so fixated on bringing Palestinians into Canada that pose us a defined, serious threat? No, 100%. I want to get on. I just want to reiterate your point that whenever someone talks about Islamists or Islamism, I immediately think, okay, I understand where this conversation is going. You have no idea of your history of Islam. There is no political Islam that's separate from Islam. Islam is political. It's economic. It's cultural. It's every part of it. And at the end, it sticks religion onto it to package it also. 100% with you on that, Tanya. We've had Robert Spencer on numerous times, maybe four or five times, discussing this, along with many other experts in the field of understanding Islam. But it does fit in. You made the comment there, and you mentioned at the beginning about the Palestinian refugees. And of course, if you want Palestine, you can go to Jordan, really. They can go there. It's a big country, and not many people there stick them there. But it seems as though the Islamic world want the Palestinian issue because they can use it to hit Israel. But yeah, Trudeau, why is Canada wanting to bring people from the Middle East all the way over to Canada? It seems mad. Because his party is dying and he wants the Muslim vote. But I still don't understand the logic there because you can't come into Canada being a non-citizen and vote. And so we've got about a year and four months before our next federal election. And so I imagine he's going to do what Biden is trying to do. They've got a mass invasion going on in the United States and Biden is trying to give them voting privileges and you just can't do that. We're not going to, we can't sit back and allow this to happen. So I'm not sure what's going on with Trudeau. I think it's even bigger than that because back in February we had a huge win. I think he was talking about it after, not long after, it was almost the day after October 7th is when all of a sudden the world and the media propaganda started coming out against Israel. And started making it out, like, because they were reacting, you know, that, whoa, whoa, you know, like, what are you doing? Like, there's innocent Palestinians there. And it's like, can we reflect on World War II for a minute? And where in America and Canada and everybody, the Brits came in and bombed Germany to stop Hitler. What about the innocent civilians then that got killed? It's a very unfortunate part of war. But in this war, I mean, it's even more complicated because the the majority of the Palestinians are involved with Hamas. They fully support them. They were hiding the hostages. I mean, they've got tunnels leading into their homes and weapons. And so to have all of this sympathy for them is absolutely propaganda. And I did a show last night that is in support of, it was very much in support of Israel and trying to continue to constantly bring truth. But Trudeau has done something very shifty. So he started talking in, I think, about December about bringing Palestinians in because to unite them with their families in Canada. And I thought, OK, well, that can't happen because look what the Palestinians are doing in our streets. They pose a significant threat to us as citizens. So that doesn't make sense. And so then I started going to work in the background with Majed. We started meeting with high-ranking officials in Israel to say, if you start shipping Palestinians into the West, who are you going to have left as allies? Look at the mess that Europe and the UK are in because they didn't shut their doors. And I know that, thank God, that Macron is going to be removed and Merkel is still a danger, but she's out and things are really, really changing. But you guys have quite a mess to clean up in deporting those people that illegally invaded your country. Well, we're being invaded in a much more nefarious way. Trudeau is giving them the red carpet. There are plane loads of people coming in. And, you know, it's very under the radar. So the average Canadian doesn't see what's going on. But now, all of a sudden, you're looking around and all these women are wearing hijabs. And I was in, and I don't want to say it by the color of our skin, because my God doesn't care about the color of your skin. He cares about the condition of the heart. But this was a European nation, white, white Christians. And there's nothing wrong with that. If so, then let's start complaining about the fact that, you know, Islam is filled with brown people. Like, how can you berate European nations for having white people? So it's part of a plan. And it's part of to destroy the democracies that we have. But it's all based on Christianity. That's why we were successful. And so we're seeing it really unfold here in Canada. It is a white replacement. I'm just going to come out and say it. That is the strategy. And so we ended up, they agreed. And so they said plus it's very hard to truly vet these individuals and uh you know allow them to leave that's something people can't wrap their heads around is that Palestine is not a state it is a district within Israel so they are under the Israeli government officials direction and so anyways we got that shut down headlines literally said by Mark Miller our immigration minister, that he was pissed off for the fact that things weren't moving along. Same title for Justin Trudeau. We never made it public back then. We've only just made this public that this is the work that Action 4 Canada, along with One Free World International, has been working on. So Trudeau was so fixated that there was a news headline last week that said, first Gazans come to Canada. So Majed is in Israel right now. I'm going, okay, what's happened? What's going on here? He's lying. How is this happening? Well, it ends up even in the article that this family, and of course it's a picture perfect family coming out with their small children and an infant. The poster family from Palestine, not what's potentially coming out of there. And the headline said Gazan's come, but within the article, it said that they had paid to be smuggled into Egypt. So why is Trudeau, who is he dealing with now and negotiating with? It's not the Israeli government. Is he negotiating with the Egyptian government? Who is he negotiating with and why is he doing this? And that was part of the special investigative report I did last week and last night as well, which will be available today on our Rumble page. But something very concerning is going on. And with this huge announcement in these last weeks, I mean, it was already in 2019, the head of our intelligence committee that provides a very in-depth report saying that Canada is under severe threat of foreign interference to the point that our very sovereignty and our chart of rights is under threat. And that's David McGinty that provided that report and his team. Well, he just came out with a new report. And of course, you can compound that over five years as to how much more grave and serious the matter has become. And so the foreign interference has now said that we've got sitting MPs that have been confirmed, have been dealing with foreign interference, and they're refusing to provide those names. And they might not do it until after the next election. Well, that's wrong. And that there are countries that they're dealing with other than they name China and Russia and other countries and they won't name the other countries. Well, who are you... Importing, potentially from those nations, that we should have absolutely zero immigration from, because that could pose a further risk. So yeah, we have terrorists walking our streets, our doors are open. And that's why I started this by saying, Trudeau is 100% guilty of treason. And he needs to be charged and put away forever, put away forever, along with Chrystia Freeland and Mark Miller and his team. Are there actually any Canadians left in Toronto? I don't know. It's been a while since I was there. It's been actually, yeah, it's been a while since I was there. It's terrible. Yeah, it's really scary. I mean, people don't feel safe going out and it's the whole GTA, Greater Toronto area, but it's not there. I mean, I live in Surrey and it's become pretty much the second capital of Calistani Sikhs from around the world. They don't have a real home and so Canada is this easy open door for immigration. So they've decided to set up camp here. We have the second largest Vaisakhi parade in the world here in Surrey. The Islamists are now being, Muslims are now being flooded into Surrey as well. There's reports that because, you know, they get money, some of them up to $84,000 a year with all of the benefits the government is giving them. Our elderly can't make ends meet. We've got disabled and they're offering them all euthanasia so they don't have to pay their pensions I mean I did a special last night with Angelina Ireland on euthanasia in Canada and how it's expanding and it's incrediblyserious the vaccine injured, a woman is paralyzed from the neck down four times she has been offered to be euthanized, it was directly related to this mRNA gene therapy and then we've got veterans calling the veteran helpline who are being offered to be euthanized and so we're being replaced with in immigration we're being flooded with extremists andthe Trudeau is trying to take awaylaw-abiding gun owners to take away their guns and so we're like we're not giving them up and if anything we need to expand them because I was going to mention that I think it was last year on a bus that goes it's kind of a major route that's a couple of blocks away. And a guy yelled Allah Akbar and slit at a guy's throat on the bus. So normally we would hear about that happening in London and, you know, in England. And here we are in Canada. And as well, they're trying to cover that up as far as the news reports and the police are concerned, because the government doesn't want Canadians to see that this flood of immigrants is not a good idea because the minority of the population are responsible for a majority of the crime. And we're talking serious crime. Can I... The term Islamization, can I... How it fits in there? Because... Canada is large, but it's also you've got a French part and you've got an English part. And most countries don't have that sort of separation. Maybe in Belgium you have it with Flemish and the German speaking. But actually you don't normally see that. And the French have traditionally been very proud of their culture. Is there pushback to mass immigration, Islamization in the French part? Or has it been across the board that Canada has capitulated? Well, it's interesting you say that because we only have one province that's official French, and that's Quebec. And the Bloc Quebecois had passed a bill, I can't remember when they did a couple of years ago, against any kind of religious symbols. And so women weren't allowed to wear the hijab. But that also meant that Quebec was strongly Catholic. And so as a Catholic province, all of a sudden, you know, they're saying that crosses also need to be taken down. And I think that they need to very clearly define as a Christian nation we're going to wear all the crosses we want and our education is only going to involve any kind of religious education will be Christian from the Bible and Macron in Quebec I just talked about euthanasia he's very much a globalist and it's very concerning and they have one of the highest euthanasia rates within their province as well. And so there is pushback against the Muslims in Quebec, but not to the degree that's needed. And so it's questionable, the premier in that province and what they're doing. But I would say the majority of the problem is nationwide. And it's not like one province is shutting down. Now, what I will tell you is that I was just listening to John Rustad, and we're going to have a provincial election in British Columbia in October. And the NDP and the Liberals are just, even provincially, they're lost. Like, they've lost their minds. They're filled with these ideologies and globalists. It's like mental illness has taken over within our government positions. And David Eby, John Horgan stepped aside. I think it was getting too hot for him. He's named in our legal action against the BC and federal governments regarding the COVID measures. And anyways, so David Eby was our Attorney General and he stepped into the position as Premier. And, and, any, so the election is coming up and they're losing. So John Rustad is head of a new BC Conservative Party, not tied to the federal Conservatives. And he's in line with removing SOGI 123. But today, he even said, we're going to address immigration. Immigration and I was just sitting there going, doing you know like this little dance it's like wow did I just hear John Rustad say that meanwhile a province over you have Daniel Smith who took over for a globalist Jason Kenney and I think they're doing this good cop bad cop they're removing an elected official taking out the bad cop putting it in with the good cops so that people don't really realize what's going on Daniel Smith is moving forward on parental policies and some good policies, but to get elected, she ended up implementing approving halal banking to get the Muslim vote because the Muslims were lobbying her. And so, I mean, that's approving Sharia law. And so we're going to be working to overturn that. I mean, we need to clean up our whole government. We need to remove all the Muslims. We need to remove the Sikhs. If you're not fully pro-Canada and that's where your interests are, then I'm sorry, you're in the wrong country. We'll pay that one-way ticket for you to sell your things and leave. I'd be happy to do that. But yeah, that's the kind of mess we're dealing with. But that populist movement, the nationalist movement is really picking up in Canada. And there is very good indication that John Rusted is going to win the election in British Columbia. And that will be massive. I've met with John as well and had dinner with him and discussed some of these things. and there's other good people who are speaking in his ear as well. And so once that takes place, it's going to start to have this, again, a stronger ripple effect for other provinces that will also be having elections in the near future. Yeah, well, all the things you mentioned, we've got here. It was David Cameron, Conservatives in 2010 brought in same-sex marriage and made London the premier centre for Islamic finance of the West. And that's where we are now. My last thought, you talked about some leaders pushing back because they have an understanding of what it means for the nation state and what it means to be Canada. Is any of that coming from a Christian viewpoint? because I know certainly in the UK we've very few politicians now have any claim to being a Christian and that's certainly a no-no very different from the us where it's still it's still a thing really for many politicians to talk about going to church and and their faith in the UK we don't in Canada is any of the pushback coming from a belief in God, Christian faith or is it just coming from a concern at what's happening, crushing out Canadian culture? Well, it's moving in that direction. John Rusted, when I spoke with him, he professes to be a Christian, but he's keeping that Christianity sort of under a rock. And part of it is because, you know, the voting, we don't want to, you know, not have the Muslims or the calisthenics, you know, vote for him, even though all of his policies are exactly what those groups of people would want. And but the press the press is there for them to start speaking more on those issues and there's for instance uh the premier of New Brunswick was the first one last year to come out on the rights of parent policies I was shocked and startled and pleased that uh he was doing this his premier Premier Higgs, when I spoke with him last year, I had an opportunity to meet with him in person. I said, could you tell me when exactly it is that you made this decision? What caused you to say, I need to start making decisions on parental policies and start shutting down the LGBTQ? And he professes as well to be a Christian. And he said to me, it was, oh, yeah, it was around April. Well, what Action 4 Canada was doing is every year, it was our first, it was the first year we did that. We just finished our second annual seven-week prayer walk for revival. Bible. And all of our chapter leaders and teams across Canada are going to legislatures, to school boards, to municipalities, and we're praying and walking seven times around these buildings, praying for our leaders, praying for our country, and praying for these demonic ideologies to be demolished, all of these strongholds to come down. Well, he had the idea implanted in his heart exactly when we started the prayer walks. So I give the glory to the Lord for much of what is taking place in Canada. I believe that God is being very gracious to us. All of our countries had turned our back on God in the sense that we were not caring enough about who we were putting in office. What is the heart of this individual? I don't want to hear somebody is a Christian by lip service running for office. What is the fruit in their life? Is there evidence of it in their life? Are they honest? Do they have integrity? Are they fighting the right causes? Does it align with biblical principles? And God has said, anytime throughout history, when you turn your back on God, man, your country is going to come under severe opposition and oppression. So unlimited abortion in Canada, we're one of the only developed countries that doesn't have an abortion law. We are voted in same-sex marriage and sexual depravity. Well, that only takes root and it goes, it doesn't have a limit. And so from there, it went after our kids. And then as well, we didn't respect the top two commandments that you shall have no other gods before me and no idols. And so we've got, we have a right to, If we're going to honor God, we just say, yes, Lord, and let him do the rest. And we're making that happen. We will shut down all manifestations of Islam in Canada. We will shut down these false teachings. And so more elected officials, as we're having these private conversations with them, are seeing the validity in that. Maxime Bernier, since I had first met with him in 2018, he would have called himself a libertarian. He's a nationalist, a populist but he's also a Christian now he also gave his life to the Lord and so he is evolving in his understanding of what the spiritual battle is in Canada and he is acting accordingly and you know he's a newer Christian so he may not be out there. Professing it but I'm seeing it in the works I'm seeing it in what he is doing and so to your viewers, I would just really encourage you, whether you're a Christian or not you can see that even as a non-Christian, living in a Christian nation allowed you more freedoms and democracy than you will have in any of those other non-Christian nations that I've mentioned. They may, some of them, not many of them may be a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there because most of it, these people, these good people living in those nations are living under the thumb of oppression. And we had freedoms when we were caring about who was in office. And so we just need to return to that. We need to return to biblical principles and living a pure and honest life. A perfect place to end it. And as you have, He is risen. It's about not hiding your light under a bush, as we are told in Matthew, but letting it shine forth. And we are, whoever you are, whether you're watching as someone just private figure or whether you're a public figure, let your light shine. Tanya, thank you so much for joining us. And I know that people can go to actionforcanada.com, sign up to those emails, and also make sure they're following you on Twitter. So thanks so much for joining us and giving us an update, not only what's happening in Canada, but where your work fits in that. So thank you. And thank you, Peter, for having me on. And I want to join you in a shout out to our good friend Valerie Price. I love her dearly. There's only one Val. She's awesome. Thank you so much, Tanya. Thank you. See you again. Bye.

À la Une: la mobilisation pro-palestienne en France accusée de dérapages

Revue de presse française

Play Episode Listen Later May 12, 2024 5:15

C'est à Sciences-Po Paris que la mobilisation pro-palestinienne s'est le plus manifestement exprimée... même si les forces de l'ordre sont intervenues à plusieurs reprises. « Sciences-Po : la dérive antisioniste », titre Le Point, sans que l'article qui suit étaye véritablement cette affirmation. Même si l'on comprend entre les lignes, que la France Insoumise et son leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon, sont accusés d'avoir infiltré Sciences Po et d'avoir opté pour une ligne antisioniste, voire antisémite.Autre angle d'attaque pour Le Journal du Dimanche, qui nous annonce que « les Frères Musulmans sont à l'assaut »de Sciences Po. Dans le viseur cette fois-ci, une association pro-palestinienne qui serait proche des Frères Musulmans, et « qui aurait », nous dit-on, « joué un rôle majeur dans le déroulé des manifestations ». Le JDD publie aussi une tribune de Marek Halter, écrivain français, juif d'origine polonaise, une tribune intitulée : « A ceux qui occupent les universités en soutien au Hamas », accuse-t-il. Marek Halter dit craindre que « demain ou d'ici un mois, des synagogues et des écoles juives flambent en France », « au cri de Allah Akbar ».De son côté, l'hebdomadaire Marianne, a tenté de savoir ce que les jeunes pensent de la guerre à Gaza. Tout d'abord en province, à Rennes, dans l'ouest de la France, où certaines voix s'élèvent contre les accusations d'antisémitisme. « Des accusations malhonnêtes », estime une étudiante en histoire de l'art : « Nous on se soulève pour la Palestine, pour dénoncer la colonisation israélienne et le massacre qui se déroule là-bas. Il n'y a pas de haine. On ne fait pas de lien direct entre Israël et les juifs, on ne mélange pas tout ». Marianne s'est aussi rendu dans une banlieue dite « sensible », à Sarcelles, en région parisienne. « Pas de slogan antisémite ou antisioniste sur les murs de la ville », raconte l'hebdomadaire, « pas d'autocollant appelant au boycott d'Israël. Ici, le Palestinien n'est pas une icône musulmane ». Dans cette banlieue surnommée « la petite Jérusalem », « du fait de son importante communauté Juive », poursuit Marianne, « les habitants sont surtout soucieux de joindre les deux bouts ».Mission impossibleC'est en Argentine que l'hebdomadaire Le Point a envoyé le journaliste et écrivain Olivier Guez, dans l'espoir d'une rencontre avec l'ultra libéral et fantasque président argentin, Javier Milei. Un envoyé spécial bien à la peine... Étant passé, en vain, par le service de presse du président, il arrive tout de même à se faire inviter chez « un richissime homme d'affaires », qui lui « conseille d'écrire au président sur les réseaux sociaux. Karina (la soeur et collaboratrice du président), te répondra peut-être, elle et son frère y passent une partie de leur journée », lui conseille-t-il. « Autant jeter une bouteille à la mer dans l'Atlantique Sud », remarque l'envoyé spécial du Point, dont la quête sert de prétexte à la découverte de l'Argentine, qui nous dit-on, « affronte un de ces psychodrames dont elle raffole : elle est au bord du précipice, comme tous les dix à vingt ans ». On apprendra aussi de Javier Milei qu'il a fait cloner son chien Conan, que sa soeur Karina, est une « ancienne vendeuse de gâteaux sur Instagram », et qu'elle « fait régulièrement le ménage dans l'entourage du président ». Président que le journaliste du Point, vous l'aurez deviné, ne rencontrera jamais.Président TGVParis Match est allé à la rencontre d'Andry Rajoelina, le président malgache, visiblement beaucoup plus accessible que son homologue argentin. Andry Rajoelina que l'hebdomadaire, visiblement conquis, surnomme « Le président TGV ». « J'ai toujours eu un esprit de leader », affirme le président malgache. « À 20 ans, j'ai créé ma société d'évènementiel ». « À 34 ans, poursuit Paris Match, il devenait le plus jeune chef d'État africain ». Aujourd'hui, Andry Rajoelina tire un bilan élogieux de son premier mandat, assurant avoir construit « 30 centres hospitaliers universitaires en cinq ans », « bâti plus de 4 000 salles de classe, et goudronné plus de 500 kilomètres de routes ». Interrogé sur l'extrême pauvreté à Madagascar, il répond : « On peut toujours critiquer, mais dans d'autres pays, ce type de projet pourrait prendre une dizaine d'années ». « Quelles sont ses relations avec la France ? Très bonnes », répond Andry Rajoelina. « Je suis fréquemment en contact avec le président Macron ». « Mais selon moi, la France ne s'engage pas suffisamment avec Madagascar ». Les adieux à Killian Mbappé.Killian Mbappé est à la Une d'Aujourd'hui en France Dimanche, avec ce titre : « Le Parc perd son prince, la star du PSG joue ce dimanche, son dernier match sur la pelouse du stade parisien. Les supporters (...), regrettent déjà le meilleur buteur de l'histoire du club ». « Il va laisser un grand vide », déplore le journal, qui égrène les regrets. « Mbappé a tout donné, mais ce n'était pas assez aux yeux de certains (...) Ce dimanche, le PSG reçoit son trophée de champion de France, et rien n'est prévu pour la star qui va tirer sa révérence sans hommage particulier. C'est triste. Même s'il est brouillé avec son président, il mérite mieux qu'un adieu sans larmes », conclut Aujourd'hui en France-Dimanche.

It's Monday, April 29th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims kill 3 Christians in Benue State Fulani Muslim herdsmen killed three Christians last week in Benue State, Nigeria, reports Morning Star News. Alfred Omakwu, a local city councilman, said the herdsmen killed one Christian on April 20th in Otukpo County, after killing two other believers on April 18th in the Entepka District. Andrew Mamedu, country director of Action Aid, an international humanitarian organization, said that the incessant attacks on Christians in Benue State, Nigeria have displaced 1.4 million people. He said, “With what is happening in Benue state, people may not have villages to retire to when they grow old. If we fail to act now, I am afraid that by 2030 we would have lost a generation, and it may take 50 years to recover from it.” According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the sixth most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Stabbed Orthodox bishop denounces Australian censorship Assyrian Orthodox Bishop Mar Emmanuel, who was stabbed whle preaching on April 15th in Sydney Australia by a 15-year-old Muslim young man who yelled “Allah Akbar,” has joined his voice with Elon Musk in demanding that the video of the attack be kept online, reports LifeSiteNews.com. On April 22, an Australian federal court ordered X, formerly Twitter, to remove all posts that contained the viral video of the Islamic attack on the Orthodox bishop, granting the request of Australia eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, who had demanded that the video be taken down worldwide. On Wednesday, the injunction against showing the video was extended by Justice Geoffrey Kennett until May 10 when a final hearing will be held to determine whether the content can be prohibited permanently worldwide. Musk has taken issue with the injunction, although following it temporarily. According to the tech giant, the Australian regulator had demanded that X “globally withhold these posts or face a daily fine of $785,000.” On Tuesday, Musk addressed the overreach of the Australian government and claims that the video was somehow “misinformation.” He said, “The Australian people want the truth. X is the only one standing up for their rights. Our concern is that if ANY country is allowed to censor content for ALL countries, which is what the Australian ‘eSafety Commissar' is demanding, then what is to stop any country from controlling the entire internet? We have already censored the content in question for Australia, pending legal appeal, and it is stored only on servers in the USA.” Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said he “stands united” with Musk and X in the fight against the Australian censorship of the video. Biden poked fun at Trump Appearing at the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton on Saturday, President Joe Biden addressed his age and made Donald Trump, his Republican presidential opponent, the target of a number of his jokes, reports CNN. BIDEN: “The 2024 election is in full swing. And yes, age is an issue. I'm a grown man running against the six-year-old. “I really feel great. I'm campaigning all over the country, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina. I've always done well in the original 13 colonies. “Age is the only thing we have in common. My Vice President actually endorses me.” (cheers) Saturday Night Live comedian roasted Biden and media Colin Jost, the co-host of “Weekend Update” on NBC's Saturday Night Live and the headliner for the event, took aim at President Biden in a couple of his jokes. JOST: “I was excited to be up here on stage with President Biden tonight, mostly to see if I could figure out where Obama was pulling the strings from. (laughter) “I have to admit it's not easy following President Biden. I mean, it's not always easy following what he's saying, like. (laughter) “My Weekend Update co-anchor, Michael Che, was going to join me here tonight. But, in solidarity with President Biden, I decided to lose all my Black support.” (laughs and jeers) And Jost made fun of the White House correspondents, most of whom seem more committed to liberal ideology than a balanced pursuit of the truth. JOST: “Like many of you here tonight, I pretend to do news on TV.” (laughter and jeers) Pro-Life Democrat runs ‘graphic' abortion ad during ‘Today' show Last Wednesday, a pro-life Democrat running for president aired an eye-opening ad on national television exposing NBC's “Today” show viewers to the horrors of late-term abortion. Terrisa Bukovinac, president and founder of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising, confirmed Wednesday via X that her ad, which included disturbing footage of late-term aborted infants, aired on NBC, reaching seven million people. (You can see it for yourself through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com.) Listen to the audio. BUKOVINAC: “I'm a secular progressive activist. Last year, I recovered the remains of these five babies from an all-term abortion center in Washington, DC. These are the faces of a genocide supported by Joe Biden and my own Democratic Party. “We can provide for the working class and resist this extremism. I am challenging you to never vote for a pro-choice Democrat again. I'm Terrisa Bukovinac, pro-life Democrat running for President of the United States. And I approved this message.” Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from Him.” Bukovanic, a self-described atheist, told The Christian Post that she never intended to win the Democratic presidential nomination. Rather, she launched her long-shot bid so she would have a platform to expose the evils of abortion to her fellow liberals. Comedian Russel Brand got baptized And finally, actor and comedian Russell Brand announced on April 26th that he planned to get baptized as a Christian on April 29th, reports Fox News Digital. BRAND: “This Sunday, I'm taking the plunge. I'm getting baptized, an opportunity to leave the past behind and be reborn in Christ's name, like it says in Galatians. “I know a lot of people are sort of cynical about the increasing interest in Christianity, and the return to God. But, to me, it's obvious. As meaning deteriorates in the modern world, as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly aware that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beckoning figure that we've all known all of our lives. … For me, it's very exciting.” Galatians 3:26 says, “So, in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Monday, April 29th in the year of our Lord 2024.

It's Friday, January 5th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Ugandan Muslims kill grandmother, 2 grandkids on Christmas On Christmas Day, Islamic extremists in western Uganda killed a 75-year-old woman and her two grandchildren, reports Morning Star News. The bodies of Edrine Ngwabize and her two grandchildren, 5-year-old Emoni and 13-year-old Mathias, were found inside their home in the Kamwenge District after the Muslims broke in. Edrine's son, Wilson said, “The attackers were shouting the Muslim slogan, ‘Allah Akbar' [God is greater] and saying, ‘We have to teach these infidels a lesson during this Christmas celebration.'” He saw the assailants first set ablaze the farm of a church pastor that is 500 meters from his mother's home at about 7:00 p.m. He rushed to warn his mother and the two children, one of them his own, to take cover. Then he returned to hide his wife, who was ill, in a safe place. He said, “On coming back to pick up my mother and the children, I found the Muslim terrorists were already at my mother's house, and there was a loud bang [from gunshot] … which was so frightening.” He rushed to a nearby police station, and officers shot dead the leader of the assailants, Musa Kamusi, as he was fleeing near the house. The assailants also slaughtered five goats and took some food from the home of the deceased. While Muslims make up no more than 12 percent of Uganda's population, they live in high concentrations in the East. The biggest names from Jeffrey Epstein's unsealed court documents The names of acquaintances and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy man who sexually trafficked minors, were released on Wednesday evening in a set of court documents that were part of a suit against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015, reports Time Magazine. The documents, the first in more than 200 that are expected to be unsealed over the next week, are part of the defamation lawsuit filed by victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Names of figures that were previously associated with Epstein, such as Prince Andrew and former presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, were mentioned in the court documents. New names include the late Marvin Minsky, a former MIT professor, Hedge billionaire fund manager Glenn Dubin, Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, the late New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, and Alan Dershowitz, Epstein's former attorney. Connections to Epstein previously led high-level executives to resign from their positions, like Barclays chief executive Jes Staley. In addition, Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent suspected of scouting girls for Epstein, killed himself in a Paris jail in 2022 while awaiting trial for rape accusations. Tucker Carlson interviewed Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother, which you can watch through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Mark asserts that his brother did not commit suicide, but was murdered by the U.S. government. Texas Board of Ed. protects children from sexually explicit books On December 13th, the Texas State Board of Education voted to approve new guidelines to reassert parental rights and prohibit “harmful” books in school libraries, reports LifeSiteNews.com. They voted 13-1 in favor of a new set of guidelines to ensure school children are protected from offensive content. The move comes after Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott earlier this year signed into law a new bill, authored by Plano Republican Rep. Jared Patterson, requiring book sellers to rate books for appropriateness, reports KXAN. The seduction and damage of sexually explicit content is comparable to the Proverbs 7:21-23 description of the adulteress who seduces a man. It says, “With persuasive words, she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once, he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.” The Texas set of guidelines further calls on Lone Star State schools to “recognize that obscene content is not protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.” Republican State Rep. Brian Harrison argued that the American Library Association “works against parents by fighting to keep pornographic materials in public libraries under the guise of opposing ‘censorship.'” Pastor slams “Americanized lukewarm church-going Christianity” And finally, at a time when it's increasingly unpopular to believe that salvation is only attained through faith in Jesus Christ, Jonathan Pokluda slammed “Americanized lukewarm church-going Christianity” and stressed that lasting truth and life is found in “no other thing or no other person than Jesus Christ,” reports the Christian Post. In a message delivered to thousands of young people gathered in Atlanta, Georgia, for Passion 2024, Pokluda cited statistics from USA Today revealing that 70% of all major Christian and non-Christian religious groups say many religions can lead to eternal life. He said, “And we might reject this in belief; maybe you hear that, [you think], ‘No, that's not true.' But we accept it in practice because we're not bothered by someone not believing in Jesus. We sleep fine. We ride elevators and walk through hallways with people who are going to Hell, and we're OK. It doesn't seem like we believe that Jesus Christ is the only way. … If you're here and you're a believer, I want to teach you how to address things like, ‘All religions lead to God,' or ‘I'm glad that's your truth.' Or, ‘I'll live my life and get right with God later before I die; I'll figure out the Jesus thing.'” Pokluda, pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas and author of Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do?: Replace Deadly Vices with Life-Giving Virtues, tackled the idea of truth, emphasizing that Jesus is not just historically true, but the embodiment of Truth itself. He stressed the importance of recognizing absolute truths, regardless of personal beliefs or feelings. In John 14:6, Pokluda noted that “Jesus says, ‘I'm the way to God. There's no other way to God; I'm the only way to God.' And you probably have heard, ‘Well wait, I think there are many ways to God,' or ‘All religions will lead to God,' or ‘Don't all religions actually teach the same thing?' “That's a statement of ignorance. The person who says that all religions teach the same thing has never studied other religions.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, January 5th in the year of our Lord 2024.

Cześć! W tym odcinku serii Powojnie przedstawiam historię starcia irackiej armii z międzynarodową koalicją do którego doszło na początku lat 90-tych. W związku z zajęciem przez Irak Kuwejtu i zaanektowania tego państwa Stany Zjednoczone stworzyły sojusz złożony z 32 krajów, który zaatakował kraj rządzony przez Saddama Husajna. Operacja Pustynna Burza trwała kilka tygodni. Na Bagdad i inne irackie miasta spadły tysiące bomb. Wiele miejscowości i osiedli zamieniło się w stosy gruzu. Podczas ataku wojsk koalicji ginęli nie tylko żołnierze, ale też cywile. Saddam Husajn przez długi czas nie chciał iść ze środowiskiem międzynarodowym na kompromis. Iraccy żołnierze bronili swoich pozycji w Kuwejcie. Prezydenta USA Gearge Busha Husajn nazwał szatanem. Na irackiej fladze pojawiło się hasło Allah Akbar. W Iraku powstały oddziały samobójców.

Un conflit que La Croix qualifie de lutte pour « le droit à la terre » ; un affrontement entre le droit « des Palestiniens à vivre dans un État indépendant » et celui des Israéliens « à vivre en paix et en sécurité ». Deux prérogatives que le journal juge aussi légitimes l'une que l'autre, contrairement aux méthodes utilisées : « Leurs moyens ne peuvent être ceux du terrorisme : le soutien doit aller à ceux qui réclament pacifiquement la justice. » Le quotidien catholique invite « ceux qui, en France, souhaitent apporter leur appui à la cause palestinienne » à respecter ce principe, en référence aux récentes turbulences qui ont agité la gauche française, dont certaines figures hésitent aux qualificatifs à employer pour le Hamas.Des tergiversations que Le Figaro fait volontiers contraster avec l'intransigeance de Xavier Bertrand, cacique de la droite française qui lui, salue le journal, « ne veut "aucune complaisance" avec le Hamas ». Et si le groupe armé palestinien ne représente pas la population palestinienne en elle-même, Xavier Bertrand saute quand même le pas. D'après lui, rapporte le Figaro toujours, « si nous refusons le terrorisme islamique, nous sommes du côté d'Israël ». Une vision partagée par le quotidien d'obédience droitière, qui rapporte ainsi qu'à une manifestation en soutien aux Palestiniens ce dimanche 22 octobre, certains « ne disent pas "Allah Akbar", mais le pensent fort ». Un parallèle aussi expéditif qu'inapproprié entre ces rassemblements et des événements qui hantent la mémoire traumatique nationale. D'ailleurs, le Figaro préférerait ouvertement que ces manifestations soient interdites, lui qui les considère comme « à haut risque ».Liberté de manifesterLe Monde la défend becs et ongles, même s'il prévient : « Nul ne peut l'ignorer : en France, où cohabitent les plus nombreuses communautés juive et musulmane d'Europe, l'importation du conflit israélo-palestinien constituerait un risque majeur. » La question d'autoriser ou non les manifestations de soutien à tel ou tel camp n'a donc rien de superficiel. Mais il n'empêche : « En France comme dans toutes les démocraties, le principe est la liberté de manifestation, et il mérite d'être défendu. » Fort heureusement, se rassure le quotidien, il reste la justice qui, selon lui, a fait preuve ces dernières semaines d' « un sens de la nuance qui tranche avec les déclarations à l'emporte-pièce de Gérald Darmanin ».Le turbulent ministre de l'IntérieurVéritable « ministre de la surenchère » pour le Monde. Libération estime même avoir affaire à un « affranchi de l'extrême », une sorte de cow-boy de la démocratie, qui « entend démontrer, en agissant quasiment hors-la-loi », que « l'état du droit l'empêche d'agir à sa guise pour assurer la sécurité des Français ». Condamné par la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme pour avoir expulsé des réfugiés tchétchènes, dédit par la justice française à plusieurs reprises ces derniers mois, il est pourtant, estime Libé, « renforcé d'avoir enfreint la loi » sans que cela « émeuve personne » que le gouvernement « traite la justice comme une ennemie de l'intérieur ».Plus sobrement, Le Monde remarque que Gérald Darmanin « clive », « multiplie les déclarations polémiques », et « sature l'espace médiatique ». De fait, il a, rappelle le journal, « de longue date, théorisé une stratégie d'occupation de l'espace public, conscient que chacune de ses déclarations éclipse aussitôt les précédentes pour ne laisser subsister qu'une image de fermeté ». Et cette agitation a, pour lui, un mérite : le poser en « premier flic de France intraitable », face à « la faiblesse supposée d'Emmanuel Macron dans le secteur régalien ».La gauche embourbée dans ses contradictionsDéjà mal en point, la gauche se donne elle-même le coup de grâce et Le Figaro se frotte les mains : « La Nupes n'est plus ce qu'elle était. » La coalition, « brinquebalant ovni politique » est même « au bord de l'implosion… ». Voilà le quotidien prêt à lui donner l'extrême onction.Fait rare, c'est pourtant Libération qui signe l'acte de décès : « La Nupes a implosé sous l'effet du conflit. [...] Personne n'imaginait que la fin serait provoquée par un drame international », et pourtant nous y voilà. Une lente agonie qui a la fâcheuse conséquence de donner à la gauche toute entière, regrette Libé, « l'image confuse d'un camp en proie à des querelles de vocabulaires et des guerres stratégiques ». Et pendant ce temps, conclut amèrement le quotidien, « les amis de Marine le Pen jouent coup double ».

Elles sont en photo dans le Parisien, la mère et la fille, entourées de soldats israéliens, peu après leur libération. « Un soulagement pour la famille, un immense espoir pour des dizaines d'autres, annonce le Parisien qui raconte : les deux femmes, originaires de Chicago, avaient été kidnappées le 7 octobre, alors qu'elles rendaient visite à des proches au kibboutz Nahal Oz. » Le Hamas affirme les avoir libérées, pour « raisons humanitaires. [...] La mère de famille serait en mauvaise santé. [...] Qui a participé à l'opération ? s'interroge le Parisien qui répond aussitôt : La décision fait suite à "une médiation du Qatar", selon le porte-parole militaire du mouvement islamiste ». Mais ce n'est pas tout, précise le journal : « Le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge a apporté sa pierre à l'édifice. Le CICR qui annonce, via sa présidence, avoir contribué à cette opération "en transportant les otages de Gaza en Israël". » Toutefois, les autorités israéliennes ne baissent pas la garde. Témoin ces propos d'un porte-parole de l'armée israélienne : « Le Hamas est en train de clamer à la face du monde qu'il a relâché les otages pour des raisons humanitaires, mais on parle d'une organisation terroriste qui retient en ce moment même des bébés, des enfants et des personnes âgées. »L'offensive militaire toujours en préparationLibération s'est rendu au kibboutz de Beeri à cinq kilomètres de Gaza. Un kibboutz « vidé de ses habitants, [...] dont une centaine ont été tués ou enlevés par le Hamas, le 7 octobre, et devenu un camp de base pour l'armée israélienne ». Quel est l'état d'esprit des soldats ? « Il faut rendre coup pour coup » annonce l'un d'entre eux. Libération a rencontré Yonatan. « Au milieu des maisons éventrées de Beeri, il s'imagine déjà dans Gaza. Il assure ne pas avoir peur de l'invasion. Ni des tunnels, ni des pièges, ni de voir la mort en face. "Je n'ai pas envie d'y aller", dit-il après un temps de réflexion. "Je dois y aller". » Un autre, commandant de réserve, déclare : « On rend service aux Palestiniens, en les débarrassant du Hamas. Un autre encore, "venu des États-Unis pour défendre Israël : "C'est la bataille du bien contre le mal". »Victimes et disparus françaisC'est le cas du journal La Croix, qui précise que le bilan est désormais de 30 morts et sept disparus français. La France est selon le journal, « l'un des pays les plus endeuillés par les attaques du mouvement terroriste qui ont fait plus de 1 300 morts en Israël ». Parmi les victimes, « au moins deux soldats franco-israéliens, morts au combat ». Dont Benjamin, 23 ans, « originaire de Yerres, dans l'Essonne, fils d'un rabbin, engagé dans un bataillon de parachutistes, il aurait été tué à la frontière avec Gaza, en essayant de protéger des victimes du Hamas ». Il y a aussi Valentin, 22 ans. On le voit en photo, souriant, un béret rouge sur la tête. « Ce Franco-Israélien originaire de Montpellier s'était engagé volontairement dans l'armée israélienne et était sur le point d'achever son service militaire », précise la Croix.Le Monde publie des photos prises à GazaC'est un photographe gazaoui de 37 ans, Mohamed Zaanoun, qui a pris ces photos.

Morte de professor em atentado islâmico na França reflete tensão internacional

Um pulo em Paris

Mais um professor morreu esfaqueado na França, nesta sexta-feira (13), em um caso que é investigado como provável ataque terrorista islâmico. O assassinato foi imediatamente associado ao contexto de tensão internacional, não só pela guerra entre Israel e o Hamas, mas também na Ucrânia e às campanhas de ódio e desinformação que circulam nas redes sociais. O autor do ataque na escola de ensino médio Léon Gambetta, de Arras (norte), é um ex-aluno checheno do estabelecimento, nascido na Rússia e rigorosamente monitorado pelos serviços de inteligência franceses. Identificado como Mohammed Mogushkov, 20 anos, ele estava inscrito no cadastro de extremistas do Ministério do Interior francês. O jovem chegou a ser interrogado na quinta-feira (12) por policiais que não tiveram razões para detê-lo. Hoje, depois de esfaquear três adultos, e nenhum aluno na escola, ele foi preso. O presidente francês, Emmanuel Macron, visitou a escola de Arras durante a tarde. Ele explicou que o professor de Literatura assassinado com golpes no pescoço, Dominique Bernard, 57 anos, tentou evitar que o agressor entrasse no estabelecimento. Um irmão mais velho dessa família chechena já cumpre pena de prisão na França, condenado por um projeto de atentado desmantelado e apologia do terrorismo. Nas horas seguintes ao ataque, outros nove membros da família foram detidos para interrogatório. Mohammed teve seu pedido de asilo negado pelas autoridades, mas continuava no território francês. Durante visita à escola, Macron informou ter desmantelado um segundo atentado. A polícia prendeu um homem armado com uma faca nas proximidades de uma escola de Limay, a cerca de 60 km a noroeste de Paris.Os franceses reagem a este novo atentado com tristeza, revolta e medo, principalmente professores e estudantes. Durante o ataque, o agressor gritou "Allah Akbar", que significa "Alá é Grande", uma expressão de fé de muçulmanos que foi usurpada como grito de guerra de jihadistas. Um elemento desconcertante é que este novo ataque, que deixou um segundo professor e um funcionário da escola gravemente feridos, acontece três anos depois do assassinato de Samuel Paty, um professor de história e educação moral e cívica que foi decapitado por outro jovem checheno, em 16 de outubro de 2020, num colégio a 30 km de Paris. Desde o ataque de sábado (7) dos extremistas do Hamas em Israel, vários professores de história contaram que estavam incitando os alunos a falar na sala de aula sobre o que estavam vendo nas redes sociais. Os professores dizem que precisam combater a desinformação diante da enxurrada de imagens de violência que circulam na internet, e ajudar crianças e adolescentes a discernir os fatos de vieses ideológicos, manipulados com imagens chocantes. O problema é que os professores se tornam alvos de extremistas. Nos últimos dias, o governo francês tomou uma série de medidas para tentar impedir que o conflito no Oriente Médio fosse importado para o solo francês. A França tem as duas maiores comunidades de judeus e muçulmanos da Europa. A segurança foi reforçada em sinagogas e escolas judaicas, que recebem 35 mil alunos em todo o país. Ninguém esquece que em 2012, o terrorista franco-argelino Mohammed Merad, então com 24 anos, cometeu uma série de ataques e matou a tiros um rabino e três crianças de 4, 5 e 7 anos de idade em uma escola judaica de Toulouse. Esse atentado, de crueldade absurda, traumatizou todo o país, não só os franceses judeus. Com o atentado de hoje numa escola da rede pública, o ministro da Educação reforçou a segurança em todos os estabelecimentos de ensino do país.Manifestações de apoio a Israel e aos palestinosNo início da semana, houve uma manifestação pró-Israel que reuniu 16 mil pessoas em Paris. O governo proibiu manifestações pró-Palestina, depois de constatar mais de uma centena de atos antissemitas desde a declaração de guerra de Israel ao Hamas. Mesmo assim, atos de apoio aos palestinos têm acontecido em Paris e outras cidades francesas. A polícia dispersa os participantes, detém os mais exaltados e até expulsou do país pessoas em situação irregular.A entidade que representa o culto muçulmano na França tem sido clara na condenação. O imã da mesquita de Bordeaux disse nesta sexta-feira, dia em que os fiéis se reúnem nos templos para ouvir pregações, que os muçulmanos "não devem se identificar com o Hamas, não podem apoiar massacres de crianças e idosos". Mas artistas judeus, escritores e outras personalidades têm reclamado de uma falta de apoio popular nas ruas ao que está acontecendo em Israel, diante dos crimes bárbaros cometidos pelos combatentes do Hamas. Eles assimilam essa baixa mobilização a uma forma de antissemitismo. Concretamente, há vários anos a França enfrenta um aumento constante de atos antissemitas, além de existir uma história política de discriminação aos judeus. No contexto atual, apenas o partido de esquerda radical França Insubmissa se recusou a usar o termo "terrorismo" para descrever a ação do Hamas e sugeriu que o governo de Israel tinha tanta responsabilidade quanto os extremistas pelo conflito. Esse posicionamento deixou o partido totalmente isolado.Sem ambiguidade, no pronunciamento que fez ontem à noite em cadeia nacional de rádio e TV, o presidente Emmanuel Macron disse que "aqueles que confundem a causa palestina com a justificativa do terrorismo estão cometendo um erro moral, político e estratégico". Os primeiros franceses a serem repatriados de Israel expressaram seu "alívio" por estarem de volta a Paris, mas também um sentimento de "horror" com o "desastre", além da "apreensão" com o "antissemitismo".Macron recordou que "o antissemitismo sempre foi o prelúdio de outras formas de ódio, um dia contra judeus, no outro contra cristãos, no outro contra muçulmanos". Por isso, ele exaltou a população "a permanecer unida e a não importar as divisões ideológicas vistas no exterior".

GAZA IS GOING TO BE COMPLETELY LEVELED And lots of civilians are going to be killed after the elected leadership of Gaza, Hamas, launched a surprise attack in which they murdered people attending a music festival, paraded dead bodies around on the back of pickup trucks while shouting Allah Akbar, and kidnapped woman who were grandmothers, babies, teenage girls, and randomly shot at Israelis on the street, leaving hundreds dead. Israel is responding with force that will destroy Gaza, which is sad, but what choice do they have? I've been to Israel, I've seen what the situation is and as long as Iran keeps giving Hamas money and guns and bombs, this will never end. Don't talk to me about apartheid when the only reason Israel has a blockade is BECAUSE Hamas won't stop lobbing rockets at them and attacking them every chance they get.

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) Hello Hearts of Oak and welcome to another interview coming up in a moment with Tera Dahl, who I've got to know over the last few months. She served with Michelle Bachmann as her Chief of Staff. She was also in the Trump administration, National Security Council, and she brings to us a wealth of knowledge of policy, but also from her media background, Breitbart and Real America Voice, and she joins us today to talk about immigration. This issue that legal immigrants must get a COVID jab. If you want your green card status to be finalised, you must go for medical check and have a COVID jab, despite the mandates all being lifted, despite illegals flooding over the border. And we talk about this issue, why it needs to be a key issue for MAGA and Trump. We talk about immigration being so politicised. Then we talk about other things like fentanyl, the drug issue that's happening in America, how it has blighted American society. And then we end up talking to Tera about her great expertise and understanding of geopolitical events. She's travelled to Afghanistan, Iraq, to many war-torn countries by herself with Michelle Bachmann, but also with USAID and she shares that understanding of geopolitical issues. Tera Dahl, it is wonderful to have you with us today. Thank you so much for your time. (Tera Dahl) Well, thank you so much for having me, Peter. It is great to be with you. Not at all. For the viewers, Tera and I, I met Tera back when I was over at CNP, actually, on the East Coast. We had a nice catch up over lunch, connected by a mutual friend, but Tera, former Chief of Staff for Congresswoman, Michelle Bachmann, and she put us in touch with Michelle. We've had Michelle on twice, talking about education and about the WHO, and Tera is former Deputy Chief of Staff, National Security Council. I'm going to stop there because Tera, your brief is large and your background is vast. Could I, before we get into the topic on immigration and wider, can I ask you just to take a moment and introduce yourself. Yeah, absolutely. So I got into politics when I was in college. I started volunteering with Michelle Bachmann, who was a state senator at the time in Minnesota. She was my representative. I was at St. Cloud State University, and I heard her speak, and I just had tears rolled down my eyes. I didn't know if I was a Democrat. I didn't know if I was a Republican at that time, but I knew when I heard Michelle Bachmann speak that it resonated in my heart, and I wanted to support her candidacy for U.S. Congress. So I signed up as a volunteer and just started, you know, calling people, doing phone calls, doing door knocking, doing mailing. And then I eventually moved to D.C. when Michelle got elected and became, started very, just staff assistant, and worked my way up to senior advisor for Congressman Bachmann and really focusing on terrorism. She sat on the House Intel Committee, and so I did mostly the national security and the foreign policy for her. And that's really when I started getting involved with what was going on with the war on terrorism. I spent time over in Afghanistan. I spent time in Iraq with the American Red Cross serving our American troops during that period. Michelle was so amazing. She would let me leave for six months to go volunteer with the American Red Cross in Iraq, come back, work for her. Then I would go to Afghanistan and come back, and she would bring me back in again. So I just had opportunities to really, to see first-hand what was going on, on the ground over in the wars. In the war zones. And I also then, after leaving Michelle's office, I spent time during the Arab Spring under President Obama. And that's where I really, my eyes were very much open to just the false narratives that were coming out of the mainstream media. That's how I got involved with journalism. I never planned on writing. I happened to be overseas in Egypt during the counter revolution, when you had 30 million Egyptians go to the street and ask for new elections against the Muslim Brotherhood government, and so I happened to be on the ground during that time, and I saw how CNN was handling it, New York Times, Washington Post, and I said, this is not what, the reality on the ground is not what is being written by our mainstream media, and that was impacting policy. They were using the articles and the media coverage to be able to impact policy, and so that's how I got involved in journalism. I ended up going back to Northern Iraq during the in the war against ISIS. I spent time with the Libyans who were in exile in Egypt. I went to Syria, had gone to Nigeria. So I've just done a lot on the ground, which has really impacted how I have really pushed back then against really trying to write the truth, and countering that false narrative from the mainstream media. But then I went into the 2016 Trump campaign and National Security Council transition team. I went into the White House as General Kellogg's Deputy Chief of staff for the National Security Council. And eventually at the last year of the Trump administration, I was over at USAID as senior advisor in the Conflict Prevention and Stabilization Bureau and working on the women's security issues and the conflict prevention over at USAID. Tell us about USAID. That's fascinating and something I know very little about as a Brit. Tell us about that. Well USAID I think has really started out as a good organization, a good concept, but I think what's really happened right now over at USAID, especially after working there, I've seen just a lot of the issues, a lot of the, way that we spend money is being misspent and it's not really in the national security or American interests. And so I could really go down USAID and foreign funding in general, and I think the big question to ask, and I think I would argue, is foreign funding constitutional? I think that's changed a lot. I think we're spending a lot of money on foreign funding that we should not be spending. And I think a big contrast is President Trump. President Trump has been very outspoken on that and very much using economic leverage for diplomacy, whereas I think right now we're giving a lot of money at USAID and it's going through USAID to people and areas that it's not being well spent for the betterment of America and I think what really happens with USAID is it's almost like you create a problem and then we give USAID more money to solve that problem that we've already created. So I think you could really get into the funds and how it's spent and there needs to be a lot of oversight at USAID and I guess if I could give an opinion on the foreign funding, I think we really need to dismantle USAID in general and put it under another agency and another department because the money isn't being well spent. And you're not really seeing the return on investment. If you give money, even a taxpayer dollar, that's taxpayer dollars, what's your return on that investment? I don't think you're seeing that. Well, we'll maybe touch on that in a little bit, but if I want to maybe start on immigration, I'd put a piece together basically with a number of mutual friends behind the scenes helping that, and it was this time for Republicans to champion the rights of legal law-abiding immigrants and stop the green card jab mandates. Maybe I can ask you what is the, we've had Jaeson Jones and you were amazing on connecting us with Jaeson and he was great talking about the southern border and the issues there. But immigration, I guess, how has immigration become so politicised and what is the situation at the moment? I think it really has become politicised and it's sad because what's happening is that you're actually under this Biden administration, they're weaponizing the, immigration system. And when I say that, I mean, they're using, they're bringing in all the illegal immigrants, and I believe they're doing it for their purposes, for votes. And instead of supporting legal immigration, this isn't about immigration. This is about legal immigration versus illegal immigration. And you wrote an excellent piece, Peter, on this. And the debate needs to be, especially with the Republicans, has to be on the illegal immigration versus legal immigration. I think we're not against immigration. No one's against immigration, but you have to go through the ports of entry and you have to do it the legal way. And I think that's what you're seeing right now under this administration is they're allowing hundreds of thousands, millions of illegal immigrants into the United States right now, which is look at the fentanyl that's causing over 100,000 deaths every single year. You're looking at the crime rate that has gone up. I feel like every community in the United States, I think is seeing and feeling the impact of the illegal immigration that is coming under the Biden administration. You're feeling it in neighbourhoods that you would never suspect you would see it in. You're seeing more crime, more people that are on drugs. I see it in my neighbourhood. I see it everywhere I go, the impact of the Biden administration's illegal immigration policies. And I think it's impacting, Not only are we losing thousands of Americans because of fentanyl, but our hospitals are being overrun, which is going to increase our health insurance and our access to healthcare. Our education system is being overrun. We're having to pay as American taxpayers for these illegal immigrants who are coming in illegally. And I think that's the big debate. And like you said, Peter, in your article, just to touch on that is, what's going on too is the vaccination requirements with the illegal immigrants that are coming in, there's no requirement for them to be vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine. They don't have to be. So you're having hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants coming in that are not vaccinated, and the Biden administration seems to be completely okay with that. Not only are they illegally entering the United States, but they're not being required to get a COVID-19 vaccine. But now compare that to what is happening with the legal immigrants who are trying to go through the process legally, who want to contribute to the United States, who want to better our society. And go through the process, and get the green card, and say the pledge, and assimilate into our nation. Not integrate, assimilate into America. And they're being required to get the COVID vaccine. They have to choose between health, as you greatly said in your piece, Peter, they have to choose between health and freedom. And they shouldn't have to do that. And I think that people are not realizing that. I don't think the Republicans, I don't think Congress, I don't think the American people realize, they think that the Biden administration removed that COVID-19 vaccine requirement, but they didn't. They lifted it almost everywhere else, but these, illegal immigrants who are coming into the United States, and you could say, well, why would they do that? What benefit would that be for the Biden administration to not allow illegal immigrants to be required to have the vaccine, but they're mandating it on the legal immigrants who are coming here and going through the process that no one else is doing. They could just run through the southern border and get in like all the other illegal immigrants, but they're going through it the right way. And they're being required to do the vaccine. Well, what benefit is that? Well, I would say because those legal immigrants go through a process where they have to know the constitution, they have to know American history, they have to know the Pledge of Allegiance. They want to be here. They understand what freedom is. They understand what America means. And they're doing this and it takes years and years in a very long process to get through, and they go through it and they appreciate America, probably will vote Republican. So you have legal immigrants who probably will be voting Republican, and they're required to get the vaccine, where the illegal immigrants, probably majority will vote Democrat. And I think that is ultimately why you're seeing this administration completely do treasonous acts and policy. I would say completely treasonous not obeying the law not abiding by the Constitution with their immigration policies, so it's an issue. That's not being highlighted I'm very grateful that you wrote that article Peter and I think a lot of people are not aware of that and it's an issue That we really need to drive to the forefront especially heading into the 2024 elections I think Republicans really need to take on the issue and really say this is about illegal immigration and legal immigration. Legal immigration and illegal immigration. That's what it is. And there's legal ways to come into the United States. You can go through the ports of entry and you can go through the process and get your green card. And that's the way that we need to be doing it. And we need to shut down any illegal ways to come into the United States. It's weird looking at it as a European, as a Brit. And we have absolutely failed in our integration via immigration across Europe. And we've seen the riots in France, which show that we have segregation and not any integration. And America's kind of prided itself on that integration of people coming from all over, under one flag, under one constitution, under one belief system, and then coming together as Americans. And we have never really had that in Europe. We have allowed separate communities to exist side by side as ghettos. It just goes against the whole American dream, really. Yeah, absolutely it does. And I know, like, let's look at France right now, what has just recently happened in France, and look at their immigration policies and what it's done to that country. You know, like, we have to have legal means to come into the United States, but we also have to protect our borders. And I think Europe is a perfect example. I did, when I was doing my master's degree at Regent University, I spent time over at Oxford University, and one of our classes was really studying the European immigration models and looking down each country and the different countries and their different policies. And the concept that we were really looking into is, are the immigrants assimilating into European cultures or are they integrating? And that's the key question. Are they assimilating? Are they adapting to the culture, the constitution? Are they abiding by the constitution? Are they becoming American? That's what, when you used to to come to the United States, it was you become American, right? You become that culture. You have to abide by that constitution. And we're not seeing that. And it was really interesting back in 2007 when I spent that time at Oxford University studying the integration versus assimilation of immigrants in Europe and seeing now where that trajectory has gone and the problems that you have in England, the problems that France is facing. Look at all the immigrants that are coming over in Italy just recently as well. And a lot of them, I think, are not Italian-looking people, if you've seen the videos. They're chanting Allah Akbar when they're coming off those boats, and if you've seen the videos. So it's a threat that we need to do. It's for your own countries. They have to be able to have a system, an immigration system, where you are assimilating into that country. And that's why, like, when you have legal immigration in the United States, you have to study the constitution. You have to pledge allegiance to the United States of America. You understand the country that you're coming into and you're saying, I am going to live under this constitution, right? You're gonna contribute to American society. And it's a vast difference between the illegal immigrants who are crossing on the Southern border into the United States and in Europe as well. So it's a huge issue for 2024. And I think you're seeing the candidates right now in the United States, like President Trump in 2016, that is what he ran on. He ran on the wall. He ran on building a wall. And at that time, a lot of people weren't even focusing on immigration. They were looking at the border as immigration and immigration only, and not through the lens of national security. And I would argue that we need to be looking at the immigration issue, not through legal and illegal immigration, but also it's a national security issue right now. We could have met up 15 years ago then, as you were around the corner in Oxford, but anyway, it's taken 15 more years. The issue of, because this should be a perfect issue for MAGA and Trump, but I separate that from the Republicans, because the Republicans are generally far away from MAGA as an institution, And we've had guests on before talking about Trump, I guess, redefining the Republican Party in his image of putting America first. But that America first policy, I guess is key. And it fits in perfectly with the immigration issue. And I think Trump last time talked a lot about the border, talked a lot about building the wall. But this issue of actually those who go through legally, because those who try and break into your country, those are the last people you want involved. Yet those who go through the process, who do things legally, who study what has to be done as a law-abiding citizen and go through those steps, those are exactly the people you want because you know they will fit into society, they will do what has to be done, they will care for their communities, they will actually care for their neighbours. Those are the people that actually kind of want to fit into that American dream. So this issue of legal immigrants getting a fair treatment is like a red meat issue really to MAGA and Trump. Yeah absolutely and I don't think you're seeing the Republicans take hold of that narrative as they should be. That's why your article is very good because you're laying it out. And to be honest, this was a new issue to me too. I just took it for granted that when the Biden administration lifted all of the requirements on the COVID-19 vaccination, I assumed that would include all legal immigrants. And this was something that reading your article, it was new to me to be able to, that I didn't know that that was, that they were withholding green cards for those people that have probably taken years and years to be able to finally get that green card. It takes a lot of work, it takes a lot of time, and the process is not easy to get that green card. And when they finally can get it, now they're saying, the Biden administration is now saying you either have to get that COVID-19 vaccination or you don't get your green card. So, that's a big issue. It's a big issue for Republicans to take hold of that and to say that we should have to make these legal immigrants who have done the right thing by going through the legal process, it makes them a very small number, percentage of those who are coming illegally into the United States, you know, when they had the chance to come illegally with everybody else, but they're doing it the right way and they should be honoured and they should be to be able to get that green card 100% without any requirement to get that COVID-19 vaccine, especially when we're seeing all of the negative effects from the COVID-19 vaccine. I've seen people in my family, my loved ones, my relatives, who after the COVID vaccine, we lost them. And so if that was a situation where I had a loved one that had to choose between getting a green card and getting the vaccine, you can't make that decision. There's no way that you could force me, myself, to get that COVID-19 vaccine, just because of the health risk of that. So that is something I don't think Republicans understand. I don't think people realize that that is going on. So your piece was really good, Peter, to really highlight it because I think a lot of times just bringing things into transparency, when you shine a light on issues, it does so much more because then people understand what is going on. And I think this is an issue they were trying to just hide under the rug because they made it look like that it was lifted and it's not. Well I pay credit to my ghost-writer but if I can ask how does that fit in with the with the Republicans, possibly RINO, you can touch on that, but having partial control of Capitol Hill. I'm assuming that immigration issues lie solidly with the White House. But please correct me. So what is the situation, how much noise and, well less noise, but how much movement can actual Republicans on Capitol Hill make on this issue of a fair treatment for legals as opposed to illegals? I think Congress, you know, we have the three different branches of government, but our legislative branch is the most powerful branch because it's closest to the people, right? And it holds the power of the purse. And our founding fathers created a legislative branch that way to be the most influential and powerful because it is closest to the people. And that's why it does hold the power of the purse. And when you have the power of the purse, you can leverage that, and you can do a lot of, you have a lot of influence. For a perfect example, even when I was over at USAID, when we wanted to be able to cut some of the programs that were not benefiting any kind of American interest in any way. You know, we had to go, we got calls from the Senate, we got calls from the Congress, even though it was under a Republican Trump administration, Congress still had leverage, the Senate still had leverage, so I think even with immigration, even though it would be, we have Biden in the White House, there's a lot that Congress can do, I think for one thing, bring transparency to the issue, hold a hearing on it, hold a congressional hearing it, look into it, Look at all the identify all the cases right now where green cards for legal immigrants are being held up because of the vaccine requirement. That's something that Congress can definitely do. You can, have a subcommittee look into it immediately starting today to start making phone calls and start tracking all of the legal immigrants who are coming into the United States who are being required to get vaccines if they're being held up from their green cards. That is something they can do right now. That's a debate that's going on right now with the defence authorization bill. Congress is saying that you can't do a lot of the things that the Pentagon wants to do, but they're holding it up. So they have a lot of leverage right now. There's a lot of that's what's going on with the Pentagon too, with the vaccine requirements where the Pentagon had fired thousands of servicemen because they didn't get the vaccine. And now they're at a point where where they're pushing back and they're filing lawsuits saying that they were illegally, unconstitutionally let go from the military and they want to serve again. So that debate right now with their vaccine requirements is going on right now. So this is a great, just another example of the Biden administration overstepping their boundaries and overstepping what they can constitutionally do, which you've seen them do over and over. Every single day they're breaking the constitution, every single day they're breaking the law, but hold them accountable and push back and say, no, you can't do that. You don't have, you cannot require the COVID-19 vaccine for the legal immigrants. I think that is something they definitely can do. You mentioned fentanyl. Let me, I want to ask you about the the drug issue, a little bit off topic, but I was, I've never seen drug abuse as visible until I went to the U.S. last year, and that was predominantly in L.A., where sadly I don't think I'd ever want to go again on the west coast. And just people out of it, wandering through the streets, zombie-like status, people lying all over the pavements, needles everywhere. I've literally never seen anything like that in all my travels on nearly every European country many times. Tell us about this fentanyl issue because it does seem to be completely out of control. And we've had, maybe in the last year, we've had UK media doing large reports, large stories, not only in newspapers but on TV, actually reporting the literally out of control situation of drug abuse in the US. Is that a fair assessment, kind of, what are your thoughts as an American to the current situation. Yeah, I think you're seeing the impact, and you're seeing it every single area. You're hearing it from people who have lost loved ones. It's becoming way too common where somebody's son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister was killed by fentanyl, from fentanyl, and it's happening too often, and it's too close to home for most Americans. And you see it, even like I was saying. You're seeing the crime and the impact of the illegal immigration policies under the Biden administration in your local community. But a lot of that, like I've seen a change in my area where I live in Florida. I've seen a change just from last summer. We're seeing a lot of people on the streets that are on, you know, there are on drugs, they are hunched over and you can tell that and they are, you know, they're homeless, they're on drugs. You're seeing that and it's impacting people no matter where you live. Doesn't matter if you live in the most elite neighbourhood your area will be impacted by the increase of fentanyl in the United States and it's the largest number of death, more people die from fentanyl than any other thing between 18, and 34 years old in the United States I think it's around 34, 40 years and younger but that's the largest the cause of death for Americans in the United States. So it has to get, we have to be able to address it and I think there's a lot more that can be done, Ultimately, I know you had Jaeson Jones on here. He's the number one expert on the cartels on the southern border. You can't get anyone better than Jaeson Jones. But he talks a lot about the cartels and that's where you have to really be able to go after the cartels. Designate them as a foreign terrorist organization and get to the core underlining cause of what is allowing all this fentanyl to come into the United States and go after it and basically you know cut the snake's head off and that's where you're gonna see, be able to really address the fentanyl issue, but it has to be addressed. You never know who's going to be impacted, your closest friends. I know people close to me who lost a loved one because of fentanyl, and it is a big issue. And I'm surprised to hear that you saw that the most when you came to the United States. And that says a lot. And why is that? Is that a mixture of, you've got open borders, completely open borders, even in so-called Republican states. You have, I guess, lax punishments, and you have a number of states legalising drugs higher and higher level. I guess you've got lack of church involvement, and both of us are strong Christians, and the church really should be taking a role in some of these issues which damage society and they're not. Or is it just simply politicians engaged in other things, busy with more pressing issues for them than this? How has it slipped in to American society? Well, I think, number one, open borders. I mean, our borders are completely open. We have no operational control at the borders. It's basically run by the cartels. Operational control is by the cartels. So we definitely have to get control of our borders. That is number one. But number two, I'm glad you hit on, Peter, the role of the church, especially in American society, right? We have basically self-rule government, where we want a limited government that stays within their jurisdictions. And I'm always, as the American way, government's not going to solve your problems. Government needs to get out of the way. Government needs to be able to create kind of like a sidewalk. They need to be able to create space so that people can live freely and just protect that space. And so that's where like the role of the church comes in. You can never change. Government can't change people's hearts. Government is not going to be the solution for America. God is going to be the solution for America because only God can change the hearts of the American people. And that's what the founders believed. And that's why they created our system of government that way, is that the government is meant to protect the church, right? So that we can have that freedom of religion, and government will protect our freedom of worship. Wherever religion we choose, government is to protect that. That is a right that Americans have in the United States, and that government cannot interfere in that. And so that's where the role of the church does need to step in. Government can't fix it. Yes, we do need to secure our borders, absolutely. But on the other hand, exactly what you said, the church needs to step in, absolutely needs to step in, and we need to be able to have, if you look at our statistics for those that go to church and believe in God, it's sad, and we're seeing a decline in the United States of that. But I also believe that we're on the greatest verge of a revival as well. I really do think that as well, and that's what ultimately is going to solve the fentanyl problem. We can only do what we can do policy-wise, but ultimately God has to change our hearts too. Government is meant to create the situation so that we have the ability to be able to make those changes, the ability to be able to do what we can do and not interfere in that. So we do definitely need to have the Church step up into helping with programs for fentanyl and just getting to know God, getting to know the Lord, having a personal relationship with Him that's gonna transform your heart. 100% nothing beats a personal relationship with Jesus. That changes a lot. No, absolutely. Tera, can I just ask you personally, you've had, we've touched on, immigration, we've touched on the drugs issue and you, I guess, as someone who has been in Congress, served with a Congressman, your time in the White House, then you've also had in media with, certainly in the Breitbart days and more recently with Real America Voice. So you've got a perspective from the policy side but also from the media side. How do you with those two hats, how do you look at what's happening and what are the issues which you, as an American personally are most concerned about. I think that's really key points because those are the two key, It's policy and the media drives policy, And I really saw that as I mentioned earlier in the show Peter, the reason I even got into journalism was because I was on the ground in Egypt, during the counter revolution in 2013 when you had 30 million Egyptians go to the streets. to remove the Muslim Brotherhood from government and CNN covered the Muslim Brotherhood, the terrorists who were tied to Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations who were committing violence on the street. It was very similar to what happened with BLM here in the United States back in 2020 when you had CNN and you had mainstream media standing in front of burning buildings saying, You know, here's a BLM, you know, protest, but it's mostly peaceful when you had the building burning behind you. Well, that's what I saw when I was on the ground over in the Middle East during the Arab Spring. The mainstream media was completely lying and driving a false narrative. And that false narrative was impacting our policy. That's what the Pentagon watched. That's what members of Congress watched. That's what impacted the Obama administration. Then when they came out and they were going to cut aid to Egypt for removing a terrorist organization who was in power, who was terrorizing and destroying Egypt. And so I saw the impact that media has on our policy. So when I was coming from a policy field heading, you know, I had worked in Congress, I had been on the presidential campaign with Michelle Bachmann during the 2012 presidential election, and coming from that field I saw how much media matters. When you give a false narrative, that is what they use to make their policy. And another perfect example that I went through that same way where they use the media to impact their policy was the Mueller investigation. I worked in the White House. I came in the first day of day one. I worked at the National Security Council. And I remember watching, I was in my office and I remember watching CNN and they said they were launching the special counsel, the Mueller investigation, the special counsel on President Trump and his ties to Russia. And I remember thinking, you know, that Russia, like, you know, obviously that's not gonna have anything to do with me. There's no impact there." Well, I was wrong because the Mueller investigation actually, it really impacted anyone who served on the campaign, anyone who went into the transition team. And when we look back at that, how did the Mueller investigation start? The Mueller investigation started because they were leaking false narratives, false articles in the media. And then what happened? Well, the FBI was the one leaking those articles and then they launched an investigation using those articles. So what's happened today in our culture and Europe and England, all over CNN International, all mainstream media, and you have it just as bad as we have it. And thank you for doing what you do because you're a voice of truth against the mainstream media who's just projecting a false narrative, but that false narrative is actually a political arm of the Democratic Party. That's what's happening. The media has turned into the political arm of the Democratic Party. So they create a narrative, or they follow with a narrative. And so I really was able to see the impact that the mainstream media has on our policy. When I went overseas during the Arab Spring under the Obama administration, I was on the ground in Egypt when you had 30 million Egyptians come out to the streets to call for early elections against the Muslim Brotherhood regime and the Morsi regime, who were tied to Al-Qaeda, who were committing terrorist acts, who were persecuting Christians, who were making women wear the hijab and cut their hair and the Egyptians said we've had enough and well what I saw was CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, all reported completely on the side of the Muslim Brotherhood and they ignored the 30 million Egyptians who were in a line, who stood with American values, like they wanted to have freedom, they wanted to remove a terrorist organizations who we were still at war with, America was still at war with in Afghanistan and Iraq, we were still losing American troops to Al Qaeda-linked terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet the media was portraying it that it was a military coup, that was not the truth, and that impacted our policy, where then the Biden administration wanted to cut aid to Egypt. That was what was happening, and I saw it on the ground, and I thought that's when I started writing. That's when I started speaking out because I saw the impact that the media has and nobody else was on the ground. No journalists were there. I was the only journalist basically pushing back that was on the ground with real footage with the truth to say this isn't what's happening, this isn't the truth and that's going to impact our policy. And that's what really began my journey where I went from all these different Arab Spring countries to be able to really get on the ground and to be able to really see first-hand what was happening because I saw how important it was because I came from the policy field and I saw that they were watching CNN at the Pentagon, they were watching Al Jazeera at the Pentagon, and that was impacting their policy. And so what I did then after that, because I saw how much it matters for people to see first-hand and get the truth, we had delegations. We sponsored delegation after delegation after delegation that included members of the mainstream media, that included former generals, people that had a voice that they could see for themselves. You see it yourself, and then you go back and you say what you saw. But don't listen to The New York Times, don't listen to The Washington Post. You see it first-hand, because this is going to impact America's national security for, a very long time. And that was prior to the ISIS taking over in the ISIS caliphate that was prior to that the Islamic caliphate that happened in Iraq and Syria. So just imagine if what had happened, if people didn't push back from the Arab Spring. You would have had Egypt fall to the Islamist. You would have had Libya fall. You would have had Syria fall. Tunisia would have fallen So just think of how different that policy would have been had the mainstream media had their way, had the Obama administration had their way. But the point is, is that I've seen it first-hand, the impact, and when I worked for President Trump on the Trump campaign, then following that, my time on the ground with the Arab Spring, I saw the same actors coming against President Trump, and that was before fake news was fake news. So I was calling out fake news before any, before other people were labelling it fake news, and I saw how the New York Times would write about Trump. And I saw how Washington Post would write about Trump and CNN, and that was all new. Like at that time, people didn't quite realize how the media had really turned in to a political arm of the Democratic Party, right? It was, we didn't really tie that together, that it was so strong, because that really happened, I think, under the Obama administration, is when you just had this complete turnover to the Democratic Party. They just used the Democratic Party's talking points. You know, there's really no freedom or liberty within the mainstream media anymore. They basically just go off their political talking points. I think the DNC might just email them their talking points of the day and that's what they use because they all have the same points on every single show. And so that's where I saw like when when the same people were coming after Trump I thought yes he's the right guy, he's the right candidate, and this is the person that I want to support. And then we saw just how fake news completely into the Trump administration, I dealt with it over and over again, the fake news and just how they are, they're so, they're so manipulating the American public. But thank you for doing what you do because you are a voice of truth. And I'm sure that's a similar story with the need for having real, true media. It matters. Oh, it does, and we lack it. The US, I think over there, stateside, you've got much more established alternative media sources. We are still playing catch-up massively. But just to finish off, can I just ask you again on that international side, on that. You've got a grasp of geopolitics of the international side, and we may in the UK mock the Americans for never venturing beyond the borders of the US, not having passports, all of that. And yet, being the world's policeman, although we may mock it, I think in Europe, Europe relies on America being a strong voice of reason because the EU don't have the ability, don't have the capability, don't have the money, don't have the organizational ability, everything. They just don't have it. So the EU, Europe as a whole and the UK look to America for buying that stability and God forbid we have China take that role which looks like what is going to happen and watching the Afghanistan debacle, you kind of shake your head. Where does it leave the U.S. at the moment for being that voice of reason, that moral framework, that world's policeman in effect throughout the world? Well I think Afghanistan is a perfect example right now. I spent time in Afghanistan, I spent time out with the Marines in Helmand province. I've seen, I've have been at the bedside of our troops that have come back into the hospitals. So I've been there, I've seen it. And to see what happened in Afghanistan under this administration is completely treasonous. There was no reason that we needed to abruptly depart Afghanistan the way that we did. No, we should have kept Bagram. I think we basically gave Bagram over an airfield right to China. And it was a very strategic location, Bagram. It's by China. By Iran, it's by Afghanistan. It was a very strategic location for us to have that airfield. And that is something I know that under a Trump administration, that's the difference that you see between these administrations. So the Biden administration completely, that was, it was it was treasonous in my opinion to leave it after all the investment that the United States has done over 20 years and we basically handed it over to China, Russia and Iran. That's where we're seeing it and I think what's happening though is you really have a continuation of the Obama presidency right now in the Biden presidency. So they're continuing and this is according to Obama's own words when President Biden took office in a New York Times article, President Obama said that 90% of the people working for Biden are from his staff, are from his administration, and they're just continuing the policies from the Obama administration. And what you saw under the Obama administration was really a policy of leading from behind. We were showing weakness. We were emboldening our enemies and alienating our allies. And it was like that was the foreign policy that we saw under the Obama administration. And it's the same policies that are being under the Biden administration. And it's not a good time for America when we look at, I mean, it's a hopeful time because I think we're looking at 2024, we have the Republicans in Congress. I think we're seeing, there's a lot of hope. I think we have more religious freedom than we've ever had with some of these Supreme Court cases. Like we have a lot of amazing things happening in our country, but we have a lot of dangerous things as well, especially that's coming in from our southern border. And when you have a weak administration and you're portraying a sense of weakness, look at what happened when Russia invaded Ukraine. That happened immediately when the Biden administration took power. That never would have happened if the Biden administration didn't pull out of Afghanistan and portray a sense of weakness. That's what happened. They showed weakness. Russia took advantage of it and went into Ukraine. And now what are we looking at? We're probably looking at China invading Taiwan. And the next threat that we're going to look at, I believe, is China going to invade Taiwan. And that's going to critically impact the United States at home, it's gonna impact Europe, it's gonna impact the world. But I think that's the threat that we're facing right now, and we're looking at the threat coming in from the southern border. We've seen a 900% increase in Chinese nationals coming through the southern border. That's almost 10,000 Chinese nationals, and a majority of those, out of those almost 10,000, 8,200 of them are Chinese military-aged men. Coming through our southern border just in the last fiscal year. So that's about the last seven months where we used to see very low numbers. We used to be like around, I think, believe years prior, 100, 200, and now we're seeing almost 10,000 in this fiscal year already. And so the threat from China at our southern border is as a big... Cuba, let's look at Cuba, they're building a spy base right now in Cuba, 80 miles away from Florida, where I live right now. So we're seeing this emboldening China right now, and I just don't think that if you don't have a strong defence like Ronald Reagan, right, peace through strength, build a strong military so that you deter your adversaries. And that's not what we're doing, that's not what we're prioritizing. And so when I think when we look at Ukraine right now, you really have China wanting us to be involved in Ukraine because they're going through our supplies or using our resources so that when they can take our eye off the ball of them and focus on Ukraine, and then they'll have an opportunity to invade Taiwan. But it's all because the administration is portraying this sense of weakness. And you can't do that. America is the number one strongest nation in the world, and we cannot portray weakness because when we do, it impacts everybody. And that's where I think you're seeing these other allies, especially our Arab allies, are starting to look under the Obama administration, when we really abandoned them, we abandoned them and they're looking at China and they're looking at Russia. And so we're pushing our allies towards our enemies and that policy is just a trajectory in the wrong direction. And so I'm just really hoping for 2024 and really hoping that we have a new administration to steer us in the right direction. 100% and I got my Trump hat behind me so I've nailed my colours to the mast. Not that it matters, I'm not an American, so I don't have a right to vote. Tera, it's been wonderful having you on. I really appreciate your insights on all of these issues. And I've enjoyed watching you on Frank Gaffney, on War Room with Steve Bannon. Are you going to be on our screens more often then? Well, let's see, I'm not sure. I hope so. Tera, thank you so much for being with us today. Thank you, Peter. God bless you.

[0:22] Callum, it is great to have you back with us once again. Oh hello, thank you for having me again. Not at all. You go to these weird and wonderful places in the world, so it's always good to get a completely different viewpoint. So thanks for coming on and obviously the links to not only this trip but all the other ones are in the description. So people can just click and go to your Britannica, Politica YouTube, which actually gave me it gives me so many ads. So it's obviously popular if it's throwing up so many ads I don't think YouTube's found out yet. I think they're just doing our travel vlog, right? Nothing unusual there. [1:03] I thoroughly enjoyed it but to our viewers obviously you've done, This is your third one, isn't it? because you were on talking about your Afghan trip and then you did a little sneaky week ender in Serbia. And then this is number three. Yeah. In the series. I'm trying to go to Chitels for fun. So we did Afghanistan, which thanks to Miles. When we went to Serbia, I mean, the main thing there wasn't, I mean, it was Serbian culture and whatnot, but also we went to go meet the migrants. So loads of Afghans and whatnot, they come up through Serbia. One of the main routes because they're not in the EU to then get into the EU via Hungary or Croatia and then to the rest of where we are. So we went and interviewed those guys and those guys are just not great. I'll be honest. I was not filled with confidence meeting those people because they have no interest in us. They have no interest in anything that is with the West. It's literally just gibs. They're not in danger in the slightest. So whatever. There's that. So go check that video out. And the most recent one was I decided I'd go to New Russia. [2:12] So not only old Russia, as we know it, the Russian Federation, but the new provinces. So I went down to Luhansk and saw what life was like there at the moment. Well, let's get into all this. This is an Englishman in Russia and not some of your others. Again, the links for those documentaries there in the description. But I guess Russia is easier to get into than Afghanistan, but maybe more difficult than Serbia, so its kind of in the middle. [2:41] I mean, what do you define by more difficult, I suppose? Well, you did. It's probably slightly more difficult. Maybe there aren't as big a range of flights and then you still have to go and pay for your visa. So, I mean, you just go to Serbia. I've been to Serbia quite a few times and you can drive there. So it's actually kind of more accessible, I guess. [3:04] But you got there, your hotel. I love the way you... What was it? Big ass bed. Very nice. Big ass TV. Very nice. Carpet. Very nice. I love the surprise to see carpet. But yeah, it was a decent hotel. It was a very nice carpet. I'll be honest. I wouldn't have mentioned it if it was. I was like, oh, it's great. Like just to have such a high quality, who cares, carpet, right? You just leave it, you forget it for 10 years, turns into a piece of crap. No one ever replaces it. No, this has been replaced recently by the feel of it. But the getting into part, when I went to Afghanistan, you pay for the visa, you pay for the flight, whatever it was. I think it was, what was it? 30 hours or something of flights. So that was pain. But going through security, you turn up, fill in some form, no one reads it, no one interviews you. What are you going to do? Make the place worse? Good luck. But Russia right now, of course, they're taking their security extremely, extremely seriously. For the understandable reason. So I got taken to a separate room after my passport just failed to scan. [4:16] Okay, they take the passport off you. You're then looking around and you notice that the only people with you are a bunch of people from like Egypt and then some Ukrainians. That's gonna be fun. They then move you to another room where you just get told to sit and wait. How long? [4:34] Four hours later. I've been here for four hours. What's going on? Wait. Thanks. Cool. Everyone around you by that point. The Ukrainians have left. They're fine. You're still there with all the Egyptians. And then eventually you get dragged into a third room where you just have to get, I don't know if the word is interrogated, but they want to know everything about your life. And a mate of mine who's also British, who was only visiting Russia, not the new regions, he had the same experience. So apparently this is for, if not EU citizens, at least all UK citizens, which is you get enhanced security, which is they check your phone, they check what you got in your bag, They ask you what you're doing, who you know, they call them up, ask them why the hell you're here, they want to know where your parents live, the whole shebang. [5:20] So yeah, I mean, that's worse than the Taliban, but you know, it's understandable. Taliban is up there. Hey, I'm sorry, DJ Q says Zelensky green question mark. So is that a Zelensky t-shirt you have? No, I got this before him. He's stealing my look, if anything. Victoria Willing there says, Mcduck is tasty. We'll get on to that in a bit. But one of the big things obviously is cash. So you were showing your hoards of cash on your desk when you got to the hotel. Obviously cash is the only way. I mean, tell us what that was like. [6:00] Yeah. So for the Russians, people seem to think, so I had all the cash and the people thought that everyone just uses cash there. No. As soon as we kicked them off the payment system in the West, they've just logged onto a new one. [6:13] British, it all works, it's fine. And everything they pay with this card, I saw very few people carrying cash. The only people that affects are us. So when we turn up as foreigners, we have to bring piles of cash now because you won't have a card that works. And if you think, oh, we'll just open a Russian bank, put money in there and then use a card. Yeah, you can, but it's not the easiest thing in the world. And also, I don't know, do you really want to go through that rigmarole. It's easy just to carry the cash. So yeah, if you're going to go, definitely take US dollars. That's the best thing. The other thing is euros. I tried some British pounds. No bank in all of Moscow would accept my British pounds. So I tried like five. What was it like? I remember when I was living in Bulgaria and I could open up a bank account and it had to be US dollar. So whenever you went to get money, you'd queue up, the 20 years ago at the end of ATO, you'd queue up, you'd eventually get your dollars, you'd join another queue, and then you'd get, that would give you a slip to exchange it into lever. And then you join the third queue, and that would give you lever as about 45 minutes. But how do you just go in and you had to show ID and exchange your money? You don't even need ID. You just turn up to an exchange place, as much dollars, um, they'll give you whatever. I think if you did a high enough amount. [7:37] So if you did like a couple of grand or something like that in one go, maybe a grand, they'd ask you for ID and documentation, but if you do like a few hundred here and there, no one cares. So it's, it's very relaxed. Or if only we were like that. And what, so you, yeah, you got there, you, You checked it. The hotel was an impressive hotel. I mean, the lobby was huge. [7:58] Yeah, it's an old Stalinist building. I think Stalin used to have dignitaries stay there. [8:03] Beautiful building from the outside as well. If people want to look it up, Hotel Hilton, Leningradskaja. Really old. They actually have a video playing in the lobby of all the different people who have stayed there and Soviet propaganda about how great it is, which is really weird. But whatever. One way of advertising your hotel, propaganda films. I think it was number 50 out of like 750. I guess it wasn't packed full of foreigners. [8:30] It was. I didn't see a single Russian person staying though. There was some Brazilian journalist I met on the last day. He was really nice. What was weird there is he was also, because we're sort of set up in this mindset of the West right now, at least generally, you know, we're combating Russia and Russia's bad and the West is good and we're helping, whatever, like your thing, right? But when you speak to someone from Brazil or the world that's just away from this dichotomy, it just didn't give a crap. I was talking to him, he was like, yeah, I just don't care. I'm just, here to cover a story about this, that or the other Russian-Brazilian trade relations. But when, it came to the conflict, he was just like, who wins, wins. Not interested. So when you met anyone in that hotel that seemed to be that position. I didn't find any Westerners. Quite refreshing. So the first thing was going to get food. I loved it. You went to McDonald's via an off license. So I'm off to McDonald's the next thing you are looking at vodka. So you seem to be more interested in getting your vodka fitting in Russia than getting your Big Mac. [9:42] Yeah, well the vodka is two euros. Sorry, two dollars, not two euros. A bottle. You know how you get to check out in this country and you'll see a bunch of confectionary? They just have crates of different kinds of vodka, all for two bucks. So if you're just popping home, why not get a bottle while you're driving? I don't know. [9:58] It works. I mean, I don't know if it works, but it's how they live. But they do survive on vodka. The Balkans survive on brandy and I guess Russians on vodka. But tell us about food. Whenever you did get food, it was Subway. That's not really Russian cuisine, is it? [10:19] No, I get criticised in a few comments. Like in Afghanistan, people were like, why didn't you eat Afghan food? I do. It's just not very interesting, I didn't find, when looking through the footage. It was me staring at a bunch of borscht or pilemi, which is like pierogis. But I don't know. It's all nice. I don't really have anything insightful to say about it other than it's nice. So it just seems like a bit of a waste of time because you don't know what it is. You don't have the flavour in your mouth. Right? But if I could tell you about their version of Subway or McDonald's, you know what that tastes like. You've got a reference point. So I just thought it was a bit more interesting. But some people say in the chat, Freddos are a safe bet. They always are. Still looking for that KitKat. Did you bring any? No, I'm not. Did you bring those? It was KitKats. I think it was Cadbury buttons. The Caramel ones and the Plain ones and some other stuff I gave away. I only filmed the buttons. I'm actually thinking of reaching out. I mentioned that I want to get sponsored by Cadbury. Why not? It'll be funny as hell for them. They've got nothing going on. You want to go to the middle of nowhere and sell Cadbury to random village people? Sure. On this trip, I actually saw you eating more than I've ever seen you eat in my whole life. I think every next clip was you eating somewhere. [11:40] Hey, boys go eat. Another thing that struck me was the architecture, the buildings. They look quite impressive. When you think of England and lots of things being knocked down and built up, you kind to think Russia as well, it'll be communist, it'll be massive concrete blocks, which you kind of get over all different parts of Eastern Europe. But it seemed to have a beautiful, architecture, beautiful buildings. I think you commented on that. [12:12] Yeah, I mean, there's a couple of aspects. So once you get into the more rural parts of Russia. [12:18] So Moscow and St. Petersburg are the classic amazing cities, westerners go there for a couple of days and that's their experience, which is fine. And they're the most astounding places. And the Stalinist architecture for all the bastard things that Stalin did, his Stalinist architecture is really good. The Metro is unbelievable in the sense of how beautiful it is. People big it up a lot and I always thought maybe it's overrated. I've been there before this trip, but still, every time I go back, I'm like, that's gold. I hate going to London and seeing the comparison. The Elizabeth Line opened earlier in London and people raving about it. It looks like shit. Sorry to swear, but it is awful. Just modernist nonsense that'll look terrible in 10 years. Everything in the Moscow Metro looks like that five star hotel, but underground. It's amazing how good that stuff is. But once you do get out into... So I went to Rostov in the south, which is a fairly big city, or some of the places around there, Novoshanskoye, or. [13:20] Kimishkish, or whatever the hell it was called, the one in the middle. And then, and then Luhanskoye, yeah, you get the commie blocks, commie blocks, or still a thing. But you, You do get the occasional building that they've just redone and it looks like something from the Romanov era. So they seem to be having the same sort of transition that maybe you've seen in Hungary, or I saw in Serbia where they've got the old buildings, they were run down and now they're building them back up. So the entire Slavic world seems to be experiencing that, as well as the Hungarians, which is nice. [13:53] And we don't have it. Yeah, same in Bulgaria. You get them all being put back together and rebuilt and remembering their history after trying to forget about the communist past or life before then. They're trying to find it again. And of course, flags. One other thing I noticed, lots of Russian flags and of course, communist paraphernalia. But the two flags that were missing, which I think are our national flags, our LGBT flag and Ukraine flag, it was quite nice. Those didn't exist there. Yeah, I mean, there's certainly one of the Ukrainian flags. What is funny about all that is that you see, I mean, I don't not understand the reasons as to why, but in Ukraine, you've seen endless videos of them smashing up statues or anything that was Russian or represents Soviet Union or anything like that. Some of them are understandable where it's like, you know, Lenin, screw that guy, Stalin, screw that guy, whatever, right? But then they started smashing up like Russian authors. Some of them were even like half Ukrainian. [14:59] It all just, I think it seems like people in Ukraine are a bit caught up in that. I don't know. But in Moscow and Rostov, from what I saw, there's loads of Ukrainian writer statues or, you know, the Hotel Ukraina, things like this. They've not got rid of anything Ukrainian, because of course they don't really seem to think they're going to destroy Ukraine as a thing or, the Ukrainian language. But you could argue being invaded and therefore have this massive of Ukraine phobia or something. So there's that argument for sure. As for the LGBT flags. [15:34] Yeah, yeah, none. Didn't see any BLM flags either. Now I think about it. But that's part of what I certainly like about Russia. And generally when you look at a lot of the Eastern European countries, that they have pride in their identity, they have confidence in their identity. And in the West, we've lost that. all of kind of big bear Russia and for it can seem like an aggressor maybe to some of the smaller countries. Actually, at least it has pride in its identity. Absolutely. I mean, that is one of the things people get confused about. There's some aspect of the right, specifically the right I'm going to talk about here, who get a bit obsessed with Russia. Many of them have never been and never going to be going there. So it's a bit strange from those folks because they kind of get caught caught up in the propaganda, I find. [16:30] But for those who have been, everyone can appreciate it. And it's not just Russia. You find this in Poland. You find this in probably Bulgaria and et cetera. An acceptance of patriotism, an acceptance of, like, this is where I'm born. It's my land. That's why it's good. Not because I'm better than everyone else, but because it's mine, which we don't in the West. We actively suppress that. It's embarrassing that we do so. And when it comes to the homosexual stuff as well, my understanding is that in Russia, it's not a crime to be gay. If you want to be gay, that's fine. If you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, I don't know how accepting Russian [17:05] Culture of that being public. But I know that the most recent thing I saw in terms of legality, just if anyone's game is planning on visit, I don't think you'll have a problem as long as there's no public displays of affection, I imagine. Like, I know that's a most traditionalist place, to put it politely. But when it comes to the legal side, the only thing they have is that they banned, firstly, it was LGBT propaganda aimed at children. That was banned. Come on, come on. Very Hungarian. [17:38] You know, Ron De Santis would probably approve of that original law, which was just, look, you can't have this stuff aimed at kids. If it's a kids program, if it's aimed 18 or below, you can't do that. If you're aiming a program 18 or above the wave, you want to give a crap. I think whilst I was there, they expanded the law now to include 18 and above, which of course is far more controversial and far less about, let's say, freedom in that regard. But that is what it says. One of the things about this sort of traveling, I don't want to pass too much of a judgment on the places I'm going because I'm just trying to tell you what's there. I ain't living there. So I'm not going to sit around and tell you how they should change their laws because It's foreign land, we have no influence, what would be the point? I barely have any influence in my own country. But I guess that's similar to that stance in Russia. It's actually similar to Serbia and certainly similar to Afghanistan. So I think that's what ties those three countries together. [18:45] Maybe, I just know it's a bit more... Because they don't really have any pride in being Afghan in that same way that the Serbs, the Russians do, in being Serbian and Russian. Yeah, but I think that's something, I'm thinking of the LGBT stuff. Oh yeah, well they're all certainly on that train. I think the Afghans win that competition though, because Allah Akbar. Yeah Allah doesn't do the LGBT stuff very well. No. One of the few things they'll command him or Muhammad for, but we'll not get into that conversation. I think they're accepting of T's. I think T is still okay. T? Do you think so? So in Iran, for example, tea is okay, because if you're found being homosexual in Iran, there is a Quranic solution, which is that clearly this man is not a homosexual man, because that would be a crime against nature according to the Quran. So in fact, he is transgender. He was a woman the whole time, therefore it's not gay. So you either accept that bargain and go through the surgery or get killed. [19:48] So that's the tragedy of being homosexual in Iran. But it does mean that the transgender acceptance is a thing. So I don't know if that's your world, Silver lining. I don't know what to talk about. I'm advertising to the transgender adventure brigade out there. Anyway, moving on. The Metro, how much of the Metro did you use? Because as you said, the pictures I've seen, how impressive it is. And you had that little clip of it. But did you go on it a lot? Obviously you didn't, you got told off for filming all this. [20:25] Yeah, I don't know if that's it's a really weird place for filming in that sense. So I've never seen this in any Slavic country except Russia. Russia seems to still have it was explained to me. So, for example, if you get on a train in Russia, let's avoid the metro first. You have to present your passport. You have to go through airport style security and then you get on the train. You can't just tap and walk in. No, very serious about that. [20:51] I thought this is because of counterterrorism. I was told the reason for this, and also the fact that people checking your papers all have these communist style hats with communist logos on still, is because under the Soviet Union, of course. You mean like this? Yeah, exactly like that. I could have given that to you to keep warm because you kept getting cold. Well, I would have looked like a police officer if I got arrested. But no, they've got these railway workers. There was no freedom of movement in Soviet Union. You have to have papers to be able to move to the next town or wherever, I was told, at least at one point. So that system is still there for the trains. So when you go on the metro, same thing. You walk into the metro and there's meta detectors. And if you're holding a bag nine times out of 10, someone will shout at you in Russian. You freak out. But then they just take your bag, shove it in a metal detector, nothing, you know, it, gets scanned, there's no bombs. They just give it back to you, bugger off. And then there's some lady at the escalators who's just like on her phone on every escalator, I don't know why she's there. Just pointless. But there's like security everywhere. So you don't know what you can and can't film. But then I tried to film too close to the tracks and then three guys came over and all, started shouting at me. I was just like, sorry, not Russian. Leave me alone. How visible was your filming? [22:16] I always found it's better to be, if you're ever going to travel to somewhere strange and film, do it publicly. If you're seen trying to secretly film, that's way worse because you can explain, oh, sorry, I'm a stupid foreigner from the foreigner land. And in any culture, they'll be like, yeah, whatever, just bugger off and it'll be over. So always just hold up the camera, look like an American tourist pretty much. And that's usually what I do. The only exemptions to that is probably when I was in Taliban land and we try and maybe, not attract attention. But the black markers. Yeah, I mean, you don't really want to attract that attention. So the only exception. What was it, did people look at you cynically or with suspicion? Because obviously someone from the West must be coming to put something negative out about Russia. Was that part of it? Because you said you had to wait four hours to get in. Is that a kind of thinking behind a lot of the maybe suspicion of the West? [23:25] To be honest, maybe this is just me being lucky. On this entire trip, I didn't find any suspicious people being suspicious of me except security, and that's their job, so fair enough, or in Luhansk. So the civilians there were a bit distrusting because we spoke to people and tried to ask, do you mind if we interview you, ask you these questions, we're showing the questions. I had a guy look over them just to make sure it wouldn't spook the hell out of anyone. He said, yeah, no, those are fine. But no one, no one would talk to us because they're just that scared. I think for a couple of reasons, which is that if the Ukrainians come back and they're on camera saying something nice about Russia and maybe something will happen, maybe they're worried that they'll say something wrong and get in trouble or something. I don't know. That's the only place I felt any problems. I mean, I ran into a guy in a flea market in Rostov and jabbering away in half Russian, half English with this dude and the other people around us, all friendly. Go to an Irish pub, start talking about the situation, all friendly, all smiles. I never had to explain and sit there and be like, oh yes, I am here to film about Great Russia or something to get someone's trust because they're incredibly isolated. Any foreigner who comes there and is like, yeah, I want to show what life's like, they're [24:48] immediately just like thank you for coming. You know, show people. So. War Museums, you did some filming, some beautiful tanks in different places, but yeah, tell, us about that. And is that a, do you have a specific tank fetish? Oh, who doesn't like tanks? Come on. So, yeah, there's a few places I went. There's the Victory Museum in Moscow, which if anyone goes to Moscow, it's the easiest place to go on holiday. Go for a weekend or two with a loved one. It's a very romantic place to be as well, especially even winter. Definitely take your girl to the Victory Museum, because even though it's military nonsense, you know, women don't generally like staring at, there's enough there to be fun. There's enough light shows and stuff I didn't really have time to show in the video that they have. There's some old remakes of the Reichstag you can go and see. [25:48] Uh any kind of gun any kind of tank there's patriot park i went to that's a big thing in Russia, various uh there's sort of like theme parks throughout the country and it's just piles of every weapon you could think of every tank every plane, railway tanks or railway guns, and I don't know why they're called that it's like a railway car right but covered in artillery and, and anti-tank guns and machine guns. The idea is you drive the train into the town and shoot it up. I don't remember that on Thomas the Tank Engine. No, but it should have been. A Russian Thomas the Tank Engine is a whole other thing. But that's, you can also shoot any gun you want there. I chose the Mosin. I was kind of annoyed because we just didn't have the time on the way back out. I just, I had to leave because of time. But I'd love to go back to Patriot Park because it was 500 rubles for like 100 rounds or something on an LMG. I had loads of money left though because I just hadn't spent it. I wish I'd just gone back to Patriot Park and be like, chh, dada, dada, dada, dada, dada, for 30 minutes straight, because that's just fun. So yeah, if you like shooting, that's easy too. Well, did you, I can't remember, you went with someone there, or did you just turn up as a foreigner saying I'd like to shoot things? [27:03] So the trip was a bit weird. I knew a couple of people in Russia from a previous trip. So I met them in Moscow. I met friends of friends of friends. Your network very quickly expands once you just ask, hey, do you know anyone who's around tomorrow? I went to like an Indian market with a lady, for example. That was really funny actually, because we're walking around and I hear the Indian music and I see the brands and the spices. I was instantly transported back to the UK. [27:29] You get what I mean? Which just was so weird because she didn't get it either. She was like, what do you mean it's like the UK? I'm like, you don't know. You just don't know. [27:41] So that was fun. So you start meeting friends like that and then when I got a train I was going to go meet someone else. So I had someone with me at any given time. Some people seem to think, that someone was chaperoning me like it's the Soviet Union. I can't transmit enough how much things have changed since the Soviet Union. It's not like that at all. Even when I went to Luhansk, the Russian soldier guy I had with me, he was only with me like half the time. And even when he was with me, he didn't even know what he was getting in for, frankly. I decided where we wanted to go. I decided what we're going to see, who we're going to talk to, what we're doing today. [28:20] He was a quirky character. Yeah, I mean, he was just a friend of a friend of a friend was Rostov. Great guy, made friends with him. I said, look, the guy was going to go meet has been blown up by a mortar. I'm kind of buggered. Do you know what he could take me to the new regions? He says, you know, I have a friend introduced me to an Afghani weird character, big moustache, larger than life, goes to Ukraine a lot, has been fighting since 2014, killing people. He did mention to me at one point apparently he fought in Syria which okay because he talks a lot about Wagner. I never really got to the question about whether or not he worked for Wagner but whatever. [29:04] Fit as a fiddle, clearly does a lot of stuff. He's out there right now, he's upgraded his telegram, he's out fighting today I think. But he seemed to just be some guy because he agreed to take me. And then when we got to the border, it was like, don't speak about this, don't speak about that. And I'm like, brother, you don't know what you're getting in for. Because, of course we get taken to additional security and he's like, oh, it's been 10 minutes. I'm, like, no, it's not going to be 10 minutes. We're getting stuck for four hours talking to Russian border guard, then military intelligence, and then even more. We were just like, who the hell are you? And then when we're going around Luhansk, everything's fine. He knows everyone there. He's been fighting and he used to live in Luhansk for years. That's the thing about all the nationalists, the people who are fighting there, they've, all got massive connections to Ukraine, like family connections. This is a real family thing for them. It's not some group of guys who have no connection to the land. All their family live there or their grandparents live there or something. So that's fine. On the way back out, of course same border, checkpoint, more security. I just remember we got off the bus in Rostov, he was just so pissed at me. So he was just like, oh for god's sake. Like it was just some guy, he didn't know what he was getting in for. I was just like, yeah sorry man, it's gonna be a lot of stops. My passport's cancer in this place. [30:28] Yeah, it's free to travel around. If you meet friends of friends, you'll be able to meet someone in any given town. And if they're a friend of a friend, they'll be nice to you. So what was the part that's kind of partially Russian, partially Ukrainian? Is that Luhansk or the other one, Rostov? Yeah, so to explain for people who might not know the situation Ukraine became a country after the Soviet Union collapsed. It used to basically just be a Soviet Republic of USSR, I don't think a Ukrainian nation really existed before in peacetime. You could argue maybe like the kingdoms of the root of, Kevin Rusev's me, but yeah, I did I mean in modern times probably, then stuff happens, politics Russia ended up annexing Crimea and then there was an uprising in these two places called Donetsk and Luhansk, large Russian populations, Stalin's fault as most things are as to why there's so many Russians. [31:34] If I think that the next used to be called Stalino, because of course These people rose up. They've been fighting an insurgency for years with help from Moscow, And then when the Russian army moved in properly, not just, you know, unofficially, they have now annexed Luhansk province, Donetsk province, Zaporizhian and Kherson. So we went to the Luhansk province, which that place has been a battlefield for, what has it been, eight years, something like that. They've now got all of that province under control. We didn't feel any active threat. There was no, like, range for artillery to kill us. To kill us, there was range for missiles to kill us or airstrikes. You can see bullet holes in all the buildings, much for the buildings been blown up. [32:22] But as for what it is, it's according to the Ukrainians, their lands, all of it. According to the Russians, they've annexed it, it belongs to them now. And according to the people who live there, from what I saw, I didn't see anyone Ukrainian. I didn't see anything that made me think Ukraine, everything that made me think of Russia. The flags, the people, the food, the apartments. The place used to be a large Russian area, even when it was part of Ukraine. And since the uprising eight years ago, and then ever since. Anyone who is pro-Ukraine has probably left. I've read multiple stories online of people used to live in these places, more than the stories I've read, but same thing will be happening in Luhansk. If you were pro-Ukrainian or a young person who's Ukrainian or any of that sort, you've probably gone. Why would you have stayed? In which case the result, I imagine if they did do a census, even if it's done by the UN, run by Canadians or Bangladeshis, there's no interest. The demographics of that place have probably hugely changed. So that's an argument for claiming the land, obviously. I did hear a story from a Russian lady who works for a Western organization in Moscow. So she's got access to both sides. One of the things the Ukrainian government's doing, is near the front line, if there's Ukrainians living there, they desperately want the Ukrainians to continue living there. [33:51] Because if the Ukrainians leave, that's yet more territory that has a huge deficit of Ukrainians versus Russians. So whenever some kind of peace deal ends up coming, you've got less of an argument and the Russians are playing the same game. Don't get me wrong, but it's just funny to me how when it comes down to what everyone understands, the claim of a land is just having your people there. And from what I saw in Luhansk, I didn't see anything Ukrainian. [34:20] I know they're going to be Ukrainians that are like that, but that's how it is, man. I hadn't worked out actually before watching your video because in the middle you kind of look at the geopolitics of the area, but I actually didn't realize that Ukraine was, only a province of Russia because other countries like Bulgaria have got a thousand year history, and other countries had to fight and there was, I should think Slovenia had like a three-week, battle with the USSR to actually gain their freedom as a country. But Ukraine existed as a part, as a province, as opposed to a separate country. So it is quite different, Ukraine, when you look at the other kind of satellite states, the USSR. [35:02] Yeah, I mean, it's really interesting, actually, because so Ukraine was basically a province of the Russian Empire, nothing special. And then when that collapse and you get Soviet Union, most of it was in the Soviet Union. Sure, it was made into a Soviet republic. This is mostly just PR. Anyone looking at the history can tell that, but it's an integral part of the Soviet Union. It's not flourishing in that way or independent in that way that Bulgaria or any of the satellites are. Since independence in the 90s, that's when you really start to get this, it's seemingly and someone could correct me if I'm wrong, this actual solidifying of what are we? And seeing because I mean that's where you get the changes of okay no we should be focusing on the Ukrainian language not this bilingual state this hyper focus and celebration specifically of Ukrainian culture to make it aware in people's minds. One of the great conversations I had was with a guy in a bar in Rostov his half of his family Ukrainian living around that region. [36:06] Again everyone you goddamn meet in this area there's cross-border families no one's some kind of rabid nationalist just for their side. It's not like I'm Bosnian, I'm Croatian or something. There's no crossover. No, there's massive crossover in ethnic times. But he mentioned that he used to go on holiday to Ukraine all the time. And he had gone to the 2000s, everything was cool, meet anywhere you want, no problem. And then around about 2014 and there throughout he started just getting random hostility from people he's on holiday with as if you know He'd like murdered 14 Ukrainian babies or something like we talking to them in Russian. They're talking [36:48] Russian to him because they think he's from Ukrainian Russian province and then if I don't hear some the Russian Federation They just stopped talking to him and they start talking Ukrainian and refused to use the Russian language, So what the hell was that about and then ever since this guy was mentioning he's been on so many more holidays, even before the special operation. And it just got worse and worse and worse. I still haven't been to Ukraine. I'd love to go if it's safe. I don't know how badly some people might take the video I made there, but I'm happy to show the Ukrainian side as well. I'm not got problem with that. But my best guess from what I can see and what I heard is that the Ukrainian identity and Ukrainian culture really is something new in historical terms in the way it is now. And that proper split of when nothing to do with Russia is very new. What was it like when you were getting the bus down to Luhansk? You're kind of thinking, well, I'm going to somewhere which is on the edge of a war zone that's disputed territory. Were you slightly apprehensive going down there? [37:54] So when we got on the bus from Rostov, you then get to the old border, and that's what the border checkpoint is, about hour three and a half into that checkpoint I did honestly sit there and think, what am I doing with my life? Why don't I just stay home? Why don't I just play video games? Who cares? Oh God. Cause you don't know. Maybe the phone call gets made and the guy at the top just goes, arrest him. Fuck him. Like, who is this? Thankfully it got to someone and they just said, yes. Um, don't know who, [38:21] Thanks bro. And then when you get on the bus to the war zone and I honestly, I felt great. Um, don't know if there's something wrong with me, but [38:32] there's something about, I was the same with Afghanistan. I don't know how to put this into words, probably. Maybe you've had this in Eastern Europe when it was less lawful as well. There's something about those kind of places where everything's a bit serious in the regard of only serious things matter, life or death matters. Whether or not you've got a vaccine passport, it's like the stupidest question you could ever ask, that kind of environment. I love it. Because it doesn't feel like you're being controlled anymore, even though everything around you is men with guns, army soldiers, people who could probably kill you if they had no reason to but just felt like it. [39:14] It still feels freer in that way. Am I making any kind of sense? Well, I think the seriousness comes from that life can be harder in those places. And I think in the West we have entertained ourselves to death where there actually life is, you're right, more serious. Here life is what you want to watch on YouTube that evening or that day. It's, or how many likes you have for something that's life is reduced down to that trivialness where there it is life and death. It is more serious. It's way more real. And you actually care about like what you're going to eat tonight, for example, such a, mundane thing. But like I genuinely was thinking about, Oh God, what we're going to have dinner. And so the kind of stress you get from that is almost rewarding in a way. I was trying to have this conversation today about like the acceptance of corruption and why it makes life better. I don't mean bribery, but I was thinking about some more. So when I got on the plane from Afghanistan on the way back. [40:13] I get to this front of the queue, blah, blah, blah, blah, sorry, man, I don't speak Pashtun English. Oh, no problem, sir. And then they take my bag, they wrap it up, And then the guy says, vaccine passport, sir. [40:26] I ain't got a vaccine. He didn't need a vaccine to get into Afghanistan. So I look at him and just go, I ain't got one. He looks at me like utter confusion, like he's never had this before. Gets his supervisor up, the supervisor just looks at him just annoyed and just goes. [40:42] Walks off and the guy just goes, oh bugger off. Just lets me through. [40:47] When like someone who's getting paid minimum wage turns down the stupid pointless laws that we all know are stupid and pointless. It's just a much better life. If he was checking the bag and said, did you put a bomb there? And I said, well, yeah, but you know, I want to blow up the plane. He obviously would have arrested me on the spot. He doesn't not care about serious things. But when it comes to stupid stuff like your vaccine pass, no one gives a crap. And they shouldn't give a crap in that country. But you do that in the West. It's still illegal for me to go to the United States because of the vaccine stuff. If I get that some TSA agent is going to be like, we haven't got it, you've got to go back. [41:24] Bro, what the hell do you care? You're getting paid minimum wage to work in the TSA. You give a crap about the vaccine? No, like you shouldn't for Christ's sake. And it's, we had that in the UK as well. It's not even that rare to us. Remember when Boris was caught with his pants down, he was having parties and the day after, none of those rules applied anymore. Security guys didn't bother trying to stop people for not wearing masks. Nobody gave a crap. We had that culture for a day there. That's what I mean. The fact that those petty laws mean nothing. And when I was in Luhansk and you're back in a zone it's, you know, state of war. [41:59] None of that petty crap means anything. I don't know, it's something spiritually that just makes you happier in a really messed up way because you're in a really messed up place. It's liberating. [42:14] When I last time was flying from Bulgaria and you had to wear masks, it must have been last summer, and everyone had to wear a mask. You wear a mask, they all get on the plane and as soon as they're sitting down, they all just drop it down to their chin. Literally, all the Bulgarians. [42:34] Here, people would have it up over their nose. Here, of course, you've got the, Air Stewardesses checking people. I know I've got friends, Air Stewardesses, and they said they spent all their time checking masks. Where in Bulgaria, they realized it just was a load of crap. Therefore, they didn't, they kind of would pay lip service, but really they knew it was nonsense where in the UK they paid not only did they pay lip service, but they believed, everything they were told. And it's that ability to think for yourselves. And it's quite weird when you come from the West. And so that's what I noticed. I guess you noticed that as well, that they just don't fit in and don't accept things just because you're told them. Yeah, I mean, like a chap in the chat is mentioning anarchism. It's not anarchism. Like in it was the same thing with Afghanistan and Luhansk there is utter security in your position, no one's gonna kill you for no reason, you know if you blaspheme or something in Afghanistan you're buggered but don't do that if uh there's an ISIS terrorist in Afghanistan, there's Taliban every hundred meters with guns that dude's dead before he gets to you in Luhansk there are tanks and army soldiers everywhere, someone tries to start something they're getting arrested or shot immediately you couldn't feel safer in terms of like no one's gonna stab me it's not, It's not like you're in Birmingham. There's none of that, personal threat. [43:51] But the actual rules of life matter again, the things the state are doing, is actually something you can respect, security. That's the number one concern. That's what's actually going on. But none of this, oh, nonsense. Mentality exists. Andrew Tate actually described this in a really interesting way. And maybe you'll get it as well. He was in Romania. He walks into the gas station. And the Romanian guy goes, you need a mask and he just, I don't know, sorry, I thought the story wrong. He's in the UK, goes to a gas station, the guy says, you need a mask. He's like, bro, I filled up the car, here's the money. He says, no, you need to wear a mask before I can make you pay. He's like. [44:31] If you take the money or I'm leaving with the gas for free, I don't. [44:35] I'm not putting on a mask. What are you talking about? The dude starts losing it and he's like, no, you have to wear a mask or I can't take your money. Bro, you're getting paid minimum wage to, to work in a gas station? What the hell do you care? Like if Shell have this policy of you worst man, you think the CEO of Shell gives a crap if the new customer walking in is wearing a mask when he pays. No, nobody cares. This rule is meaningless. Everyone in the room knows it. And yeah, I don't know if it's our Protestant work ethic or something, but the Anglosphere worker who's getting paid minimum wage just goes, the rules are the rules, like a German. And he's just like, yeah, must implement the rules. No one's going to make him implement those rules. He does it to himself. [45:15] And then Tate mentions, you do that in Romania. Same situation. You walk in, the Iranian guy will say, sir, you must wear a mask. And you say, I'm not doing it. And the Romanian worker will go, eh. Not because he wouldn't do that if you were like, I'm not going to pay. [45:31] You've got to pay. That's important. But on stupid nonsensical rules, I don't waste my time with this. And we don't have that in the West. It annoys the crap out of me. I remember some Bulgarians telling me you have to wear a mask because they were wearing one on their chin. It's just like, it's so weird. Do you realize it's just like a piss take? It's like, we don't give a shit. You kind of pretend. It's like, yeah, so weird. But it's that part of the outside. Once you get outside the Western world, that's really the metric. It's not like corruption and bribery or the law doesn't apply. It's the, I'm not listening to nonsense mindset. And you have that in spades in Russia of the people? So I can appreciate that of the people. Sure, there's other problems. Sure, no, I don't agree with those things. But when I talk about this thing, and you'll recognize it as well in Bulgaria, Tate recognized in Romania, really the ex-Soviet nations really know how to go. I don't care what the dear leader's saying. For a good reason. One thing I want to ask you that actually didn't really talk about, I don't think, but I live in London and sometimes it's difficult to find English people living in London. I assume over there in Russia it's still fairly Russian. I guess it hasn't been hit by the multicultural nonsense. [46:59] So this is a big criticism of Putin from the Russian nationalists I found on both the trips I've done there. And it's true, it's a valid criticism, which is that if you go to Moscow, for example, yep, there's a lot of Russians, but they have some of the same problems we have. The reason for this is because not only is the Russian Federation a huge country, huge amount of ethnic diversity just because it's so big, and there are loads of ethnic republics inside that are made up of ethnic minorities that travel all over the place. They also have the Kazakhstan border, which is ridiculously huge. They don't really man it. They don't really have the ability to man it. So that's not happening. In which case, they have loads of illegals, not to mention the legal immigration from those countries, because the quality of life working in Moscow as a taxi driver is way better, blah, blah, blah. One of the funny stories I got told, so there's a huge amount of those people in Moscow, which is visible, especially in the taxi drivers. One of the stories I got told is that the mayor of Moscow was talking about the fact that they're putting up Uzbek language signs below the Russian signs in this district in Moscow because the Uzbeks are taking too long in the metro. They'll get out, they'll stare at the signs, they don't really know where, they're going. So he's putting up the Uzbek language. And this lady's telling me the story and I'm looking at her like, lady, I've been here three days, I can read Cyrillic. You're [48:18] telling me these people live in Moscow and they can't read a Russian metro sign about, which street they live on. It was just kind of strange that kind of cuck-oldery in that sense of having no standards for your ethnic minorities. You treat them like children. You should just give up all of your culture and language and everything else because, oh, well, they can't read the signs. Learn to read then. I mean, it's not a big ask, learning to read. So they do have those problems as well. It's just nowhere near what we have in the UK. And for them, it's really only in these, big hubs like Moscow where all the money is. So, you know, I don't, this is why I mean by like some sections of the right who have never been to Russia, don't know anything about it, will fetishize, Putin and be like, yeah, he's tough on immigration and whatnot. Yeah, it compared to us, sure. But it doesn't mean there's no problems. And it's [49:14] again, same solution, which is just say no. We're not putting up Uzbek language signs. Learn to read, you goddamn losers. That's the correct response. What do you mean you can't read? Education's free. Exactly. Let's finish off on food. Looking for food you got McDuck. I'm kind of thinking, did you order a big duck and that just doesn't sound right. Tell us about it because these places, obviously, Western companies have pulled out and then you get McDuck. What was that like? It probably takes a little bit slower. In the Russian Federation, the old Russia, the Western companies pulled out. You've got mainly the ones you'll find in day-to-day life. Ikea isn't there. Very few Russians went to Ikea. It's very much a rich person thing. So it means nothing. You've got McDonald's, which has been changed to its tasty full stop. It's now run by some Russian guy, all the profits stay in Russia. Supply chains are all the same. All the food comes from Russia. Nothing's changed. So great. That's actually a net win for them. They're no longer sending money to the McDonald's USA company. Starbucks, same deal. There were a couple of others you'll find in day to day life. [50:35] Again, all the products don't come from the West. So, I mean, remember the West is basically a service economy for a place like Russia, and in which case they can do the services. It's not hard. In fact, they could pay Russians to do it, save money. [50:49] And then in Luhansk, because that used to be Ukraine and has been for eight years in a state, of conflicts, they care even less about copyright laws. So they opened McDuck, which I still have the wrappers for. [51:02] And that's the McDonald's there. Yeah, it literally has the Disney font, which is illegal. And they have the Disney characters that they put out, which I guess is illegal. What was weird there is that the interior design of McDonald's, remember when it used to be black and white squares or whatever, and then they changed it so it was those wavy patterns, and they had these wooden things behind the benches that would have gaps missing. Yeah, like slats. Yeah, you know the kind of design I'm thinking of? That's what they have in Ukraine, Luhansk, the Russian territory, because it's just not been touched in like eight years, it's still clean. All the fryers make the same beeping noises. [51:40] You could buy a black bread Big Mac, which I didn't do because I don't like a black bread. But in Russia, they've got the modern ones because it's only a year ago that changed. When I asked people about all of that, no one could have given a crap. This is something I really, I'm kind of annoyed about that the delusion so many people have in the West about Russia, they think it's just like the West, and it's just as effective as if we lost McDonald's tomorrow, people would be freaking out. [52:12] McDonald's was even only in quite good places in Russia. The people who went there, Russian people don't like McDonald's all that much. They've got their own fast foods, which are frankly better. Smoked salmon is so easy to get there for some reason, so cheap compared to your crappy Big Mac. And even then [52:31] If you're a Russian and some company does that, not only do you not care. If they ever came back, you're not going to go back and shop with them because they betrayed your country. So it's a lose-lose on that front. Places like Burger King hasn't left. They're making bank. McDonald's left, but they're open. So our biggest competitor decided to leave the country. What a retard. Make loads of money. And for the companies doing that, the argument is made that, oh, maybe they did it for moral reasons. [53:01] You think any of these companies do anything for moral? Are you high? No. They're not doing it for Ukrainian nationalism reasons either. None of these companies are Ukrainian. None of them have big markets in Ukraine. They've done this because some letter was sent from the White House. All their CEOs are actually that dumb and have just been taken on with the current thing and jumped in on it. I don't think any of these CEOs actually care about the morality question in any of this. And I cannot stress enough things in Russia are not collapsing as a result of the sanctions. I was re-watching the YouTube channel called LaserPig. I quite like the guy. I've got nothing against him. I love his content. Tank stuff. Love that. Anyway, so he did some videos about when the war started and I was going back and just checking out, what people were saying when it first kicked off. And one of the predictions he makes, for example, is like, oh, the conditions in Russia are perfect for being about the same as the Russian Revolution in 1918. You know, it was sort of a weird thing to say then after being there, food's cheaper than ever. Gas is cheaper than ever. I don't know if you saw it's 19 pence for unlimited gas in the Luhansk. I saw you enjoying just watching gas burn. Oh, it was great. [54:21] Life could not be more normal. I met people who were anti-Putin as well. I met people who were anti-special operation, anti-war, all of that. And I asked them, what's changed then for you? Because I mean, you're not gonna tell me everything's fine because you're some Russian nationalist who just is sitting there writing Zeds on everything you find. And they just, all of them without thought were just like, well, not really anything. The only lady I could find who told me anything changed was she worked in selling high-tech equipment. So like high tech cameras or high tech computer systems, right? And she said, so I asked her, well, OK, that must have been blocked off now, because those companies aren't doing it in Russia. And she says, no. I said, what do you mean? Is it where they fly to Kazakhstan and then the plane flies to Moscow? So the worst thing that's happened to them on a human level is like really high tech stuff is up 20% in cost. And only rich people were buying that anyway, so they don't give a crap. And like when I went to the GUM, the GYM, the richest place, the Harrods of Russia and all the Western stores have a little sign that's saying down due to technical issues. They're all still paying rent. They all still have equipment. They also have the lights on in those stores. They are just waiting for the right time to reopen those stores. They do not want to give up those spots. They make mad money on those things in normal circumstances. And those companies, again, if you're rich and you want to buy Louis Vuitton and you're Putin's mistress, easily done. Kazakhstan exists. We'll fly it in darling. [55:50] It really kind of hurts me that it seems to have done so little, not because I necessarily want Russians to suffer or something, but just because I am being endlessly propagandized in the West, but trust me, something's being, nothing is being done. The average life of an average Russian has not been affected at all. The rich Russians, not affected at all. If someone wants to make an argument about like their banking industry has taken a hit, and maybe there's some long-term effects there, you can argue. Sure, I don't know anything about that, so I'm not going to speak on it. But if someone wants to think that the average life is about to make the Russian population rise up and overthrow, and you're not living in reality, come back down. Okay. For them, life is more normal than it's ever been. Something weird is happening in our country to do with war. Okay. I'm Russian. That happens every 20 years. It's not new. [56:39] So here, while our fuel bills have quadrupled, actually we're still winning. Even though family finances are decimated. It's a weird winning. Very weird. I actually played a game with everyone I met, even the border guards. So I messaged a mate of mine, I was like, so what's the average gas bill? Because I only have electricity in my apartment here. And he's a landlord, so he's got a few apartments and friends. So he told me, okay, so there's this lady who pays this much. That's about average right now. And so I converted it into roubles and show everyone. Same reaction every single time. [57:12] Serious not that serious. Yes. Yes true. Oh. [57:20] Then they'd ask me how much does the average English person make convert it back into roubles, It's not enough for them to think that's normal because they were like you this much of your salary goes on just gas. [57:33] Yeah, there are so many people in this part of the civilization, who I found are still deluded into thinking that they're living some cold, miserable hell, and we're the ones who are doing just a little bit rough around the winter. No, man, we're really suffering and they're not noticing it. [57:54] That's the truth of the matter. You can be mad about that, you can wish it was the opposite, it's not. Just final thought is that what you talked about, they don't survive on McDonald's, not a big thing if they lose these brands. I think a sign that the West has collapsed is people sitting at home being able to order a McDonald's to come to your home. It's just literally bonkers that actually our populations in the West are living on McDonald's. Just, a sad state of affairs. You can get it with a bike directly to your front door. What am I? And you said salmon maybe? No, no, no. Let's go for a Big Mac and fries. Okay. I'm imagining you looking out the window, seeing Deliveroo and just be like, this is the end of the West. Because I eat a lot of McDonald's. I happen to have a McDonald's right next to my apartment. So pro tip, double cheeseburger, small fries, three quid. [58:52] Best cost for money you can get. And I quite like the concept. It's a very capitalistic mindset, maximize calories, lowest cost, all that stuff gets the rightest part of my capitalist brain. Excited. I know a friend who used to work at McDonald's and he loved the calculation of how quickly you could wrap stuff, would save this many pennies and all that nonsense. [59:15] But if you're really deluded enough to think without McDonald's, Russia is finished or Saudi Arabia is finished or China is finished or some other country you don't like. [59:24] Number one, you're high. Number two, what happens when Burger King stays? That's right, nothing. Nothing happens. And we really seem to have a lot less power than we think we do. The idea that Western sanctions will really cripple the enemy in North Korea, yeah. In Iran, apparently it had some large effect. In a place like Russia that has all the damn resources, it couldn't mean less. Like, we've got all this stuff, it's just the services we don't have. High-level things but if you've already set them up for them. Okay, copy paste. Copyright, what's that? Yeah, and of course they still have access to the Chinese markets. So what Britain says, we're not buying or whatever, that's okay, we'll just go to China. You guys don't make anything anymore. Like the world really has changed about who makes things, who's important in that dynamic, and we mentally haven't caught up to that. We aren't, leveraging what we have and instead thinking, oh, we can make them suffer with this, and it doesn't work. [1:00:26] Callum, thank you for coming on and sharing your thoughts. I don't know whether an African shithole country is going to be next on your list. I mean, if you have any recommendations. I think I recommended Zimbabwe. I was thinking about turning up in a Rhodesian light infantry uniform. I just go and see what's left of Rhodesia. But I called a mate who used to be there, he's like, yeah, they'll probably kill you. I was like, maybe not. Well, the guy you met, the weird guy, the dancing guy, the moustache guy, some undercover terrorist guy. Evgeny. No, no, no. He's like a soldier slash, you know, soldier of fortune. I don't know. I was just thinking whether Lotus Eaters would have paid your ransom. I could see this going horribly wrong. Originally, he didn't ask for any money either. He was just like, yeah, I'll do it for free. By the time I'd ruined his week, I was just like, yeah, here's 100 quid. Thanks for joining us. And our viewers and listeners, obviously Britannica Politica, you can find the videos there in the description. And however you're watching, the links should be in there. Or if you're listening on podcasting apps, the links are also there. So, Callum, Thank you once again for joining us. [1:01:47] Thanks so much for having me. I'll come around next time I go to some hellhole. No, no, you didn't bring any AK-47s back or t-shirts, no? [1:01:57] I got some Hello Kitty t-shirts actually. Maybe I should sell stuff. Have you still got Hello Kitty? Yeah, yeah. Well, I don't know how much of that I could say. So I've got all the Russian stuff, still I've got some merch. Got on my Twitter page. There's a full list there of the things, Afghan, Serbian and Russian stuff. If it has a quote teat selling sold out, it's sold out. If it don't, I probably got it. Message me on Twitter or SubscribeStar. If you want to support me, subscribe to SubscribeStar. But the Hello Kitty shirts. So guy I knew in Afghan, I said to him, like, bring them to the UK. I'll come pick them up. He did that. [1:02:33] Bad news. He's gone bye-bye now. So the shirts I have are the last shirts I'm ever getting. So limited supply. Like all your friends keep dying in these places. It's weird. Well, I mean, it's not Miami. That is true. That is true. Give us your handle again on Twitter. I think it's @akkadsecretary. It's called Callum. There's a picture of me with Luhansk sign behind me and a couple of Russian soldiers off to kill people. Who knows? And people can click on the subscribe star there and they can actually support your extensive travels. Yeah. Again, if you go to the YouTube channel, you'll find these things fairly easily around there somewhere. Okay. Perfect. Well, on that, I'll say goodbye to our viewers and we'll see you on Saturday with David Vance and his week's review of the news. So thank you very much for tuning in, for watching. Have a good rest of your Thursday. We'll see you back on Saturday. Thank you very much and good night to you all.

Par leur ampleur et leur rapidité, les bouleversements qu'elles ont provoqué en Méditerranée et au-delà, les conquêtes islamiques (ou arabes, ou musulmanes, nous reviendrons sur ces termes) ont depuis longtemps été l'objet de l'attention des historiens, mais tout autant d'idées reçues et de fantasmes. Qui n'a pas en tête l'image d'Épinal du cavalier léger arabe, armé d'un arc, voire d'un cimeterre, qui charge au galop dans le désert au cri de « Allah Akbar » ? En plus de ça, cette période des conquêtes, à l'instar de la notion de jihad, est régulièrement rappelée par des politiques et des polémistes pour essayer de faire croire que l'islam (ou plutôt l'Islam d'ailleurs) serait, par essence, une « civilisation » guerrière et conquérante.

C'est une invasion. Ils viennent ici en criant ‘Allah Akbar'. Ils veulent nous envahir. La plupart d'entre eux se comportent de manière très arrogante et cynique. Ils représentent en réalité une grave menace pour les valeurs chrétiennes et universelles du continent. Je suis totalement d'accord avec le Premier ministre (…) Le pape, en revanche ne connaît pas la situation. » • Ces propos, rapportés par le Washington Post, ont été tenus par Mgr Laszlo Kiss-Rigó, évêque de Szeged dans le sud de la Hongrie où ont transité des dizaines de milliers d'immigrés clandestins ces dernières semaines. • La Hongrie est en première ligne dans la crise migratoire que traverse l'Europe et son premier ministre, Viktor Orbán, s'oppose à la Commission européenne sur ce sujet. • Déclaration de ce même évêque le 28 juillet dernier sur Radio-Vatican : « (...)

C'est pourquoi nous devons être très prudents. Nous sommes obligés, en particulier l'Eglise, bien sûr, de donner toute l'aide humanitaire possible aux réfugiés et aux personnes dans le besoin, mais nous devons aussi réfléchir: la prudence doit toujours aller avec la charité, on ne doit pas les opposer (...)

Gli attacchi islamisti alla polizia francese

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6788GLI ATTACCHI ISLAMISTI ALLA POLIZIA FRANCESE di Lorenza FormicolaHa invocato il profeta Maometto prima di accoltellare un poliziotto. Erano le 6:30 circa dell'8 novembre, quando la Francia subiva l'ennesimo attentato ai danni della polizia. Ancora sangue a Cannes, fortunatamente nessuno ha perso la vita. Tre agenti di polizia sono stati l'obiettivo di un individuo munito di coltello, le famose "armi bianche". L'uomo si è avvicinato alla pattuglia fingendo di aver bisogno di un'informazione. L'agente al volante ha abbassato il finestrino e si è trovato aggredito con tre coltellate al petto: è rimasto solo leggermente ferito perché indossava il giubbotto antiproiettile. L'attentatore stava per fare lo stesso contro gli altri due agenti, mentre continuava a invocare il nome di Maometto, quando è stato neutralizzato.L'aggressore - Lakhdar B. - risulta essere un algerino classe 1984 con permesso di soggiorno italiano. È così che rischia di diventare un caso politico la vicenda accaduta oltralpe. Sarebbe arrivato legalmente in Francia nel 2016 e sarebbe sconosciuto alla polizia e ai servizi di sicurezza. Anche Brahim Aoussaoui, il terrorista tunisino che l'anno scorso, sempre usando un'arma bianca, aveva assassinato tre persone nella basilica di Nizza, aveva soggiornato in Italia. L'immigrato, che era sbarcato a Lampedusa e poi si era trasferito a Bari, aveva risalito l'intero Stivale con l'obiettivo di attraversare le Alpi e di compiere un attentato in terra francese nella settimana in cui si celebrava il processo per gli attacchi di Charlie Hebdo.La polizia locale, durante la conferenza stampa, ha dichiarato che l'attentatore è solo uno dei tanti "trentenni affetti da schizofrenia, pertanto nessun elemento va nella direzione di una motivazione islamista o terroristica". Solo due giorni prima, la notte tra sabato 6 e domenica 7 novembre, a Villeurbanne, un altro uomo armato di coltello, al grido di "Allah Akbar", aggrediva un agente dopo aver tentato di rubargli l'auto. Stessa città e il giorno prima un quindicenne, munito di machete, pattugliava una scuola israeliana, scandendo insulti antisemiti: fermato dalla polizia, ha tentato di aggredire gli agenti. Domenica 7 sera, ad Argenteuil, in Val-d'Oise, il commissariato di polizia è stato preso di mira da una banda di quindici adolescenti intenti a lanciare pietre e fuochi d'artificio. Un assedio durato quindici minuti. Nessun ferito, ma la polizia non è riuscita a fermare nessuno della banda. Il 2 novembre ancora un'aggressione. Nei pressi della stazione ferroviaria di Saint-Leu-la-Forêt (Val-d'Oise), poco prima delle 23, un agente ventiseienne in borghese veniva aggredito fisicamente da un gruppo di quattro individui "di tipo africano", stando alla sua testimonianza. "Sappiamo dove lavori e dove vivi, sei un poliziotto di merda. Cosa fai nella nostra zona? Ti uccideremo". Tre dei quattro erano già noti all'intelligence francese.ERA TUTTO ANNUNCIATOUn episodio dopo l'altro. Ma in qualche modo era tutto annunciato. Venerdì 29 ottobre, a Savigny-le-Temple (Seine-et-Marne), una città classificata come zona di sicurezza prioritaria (Zsp), sono stati trovati cartelli sui muri di alcuni edifici. Una specie di prezzario bonus: "Tagliare la testa a un poliziotto: 500.000 euro"; "Stuprare una poliziotta, 500.000 euro"; "Una spranga di ferro nel grembo di una poliziotta, 300.000 euro". Nello stesso quartiere, lo scorso aprile, gli agenti di polizia hanno trovato le loro foto di famiglia esposte nei corridoi degli edifici a Épinay-sur-Seine a mo' di minaccia. A ottobre, in un edificio a Vigneux-sur-Seine sono stati scoperti cartelli con su elencati tutti i nomi degli agenti di polizia del distretto locale, anche qui, accompagnati da una lettera minatoria. Questa è una sintesi del clima che si respira in Francia contro le forze dell'ordine.Nel 2020, sette agenti di polizia sono stati uccisi e 5.435 feriti. Da quasi vent'anni si osserva un aumento significativo di aggressioni fisiche e oltraggi. Da 24.104 oltraggi a pubblico ufficiale nel 2000 a 28.250 nel 2018. E da 15.502 aggressioni fisiche nel 2000 a 36.831 nel 2018. Appena assunta la carica - luglio 2020 - il ministro dell'Interno Gérald Darmanin si è dovuto confrontare con la morte di un'ufficiale colpita a morte durante un controllo stradale a Lot-et-Garonne. E ad agosto ha irrobustito il sistema di assistenza psicologica per agenti di polizia vittime di aggressioni: sono stati registrati in tre mesi 6.000 colloqui. A Champigny-sur-Marne, in Val-d'Oise, uno di quei quartieri sotto controllo islamico simbolo del progetto di riconquista repubblicana - varato negli anni scorsi dall'allora ministro dell'Interno Gerard Collomb -, "i giovani del quartiere non ci considerano più come poliziotti ma come una banda rivale!", dice un poliziotto alla stampa francese.TANTI ATTACCHI, NESSUNA CONTROMISURA SERIAMai come negli ultimi mesi la polizia ha subito così tanti attacchi. Specie nelle zone sotto il controllo "dell'ordine parallelo" dettato dalle comunità islamiche in base a quello che anche nei dossier del Senato francese viene definito "associazionismo islamico": atti criminali commessi da delinquenti radicalizzati o convertiti che si credono investiti di una missione superiore. Nel 2019, gli agenti di polizia francesi hanno depositato il numero record di 38.519 denunce per aggressione fisica; in aumento del 18% rispetto al 2017.Lo scorso aprile, al di là delle Alpi era in corso un vivace dibattito pubblico e politico per la drammatica lettera aperta pubblicata su Valeurs actuelles riguardante il rischio concreto di una possibile guerra civile etno-religiosa nella Francia di domani. Il testo, lungi dall'essere stato partorito negli ambienti cospirazionisti dell'estrema destra, è stato scritto da venti generali e firmato da un migliaio di soldati appartenenti a vari gradi, che, a causa di tale gesto, hanno rischiato delle gravi sanzioni disciplinari. La lettera, più che una forma di un appello all'Eliseo, era stata concepita come un monito perentorio: si agisca oggi per evitare la guerra domani. La querelle è finita dopo pochi giorni e il governo non ha intrapreso alcuna azione significativa. La cronaca quotidiana ne è testimone. Nel testo si chiedeva di far entrare in azione la politica, al contrario sarebbe dovuto intervenire un esercito per nulla indifferente allo stato devastato in cui versa la nazione.Più di 45 attentati di matrice islamista dal 2015 al 2021 che hanno provocato più di 260 morti e oltre 900 feriti. Sono circa 15.000 i soggetti sorvegliati dalle autorità perché in odore di terrorismo e/o radicalizzazione. Almeno 150 i quartieri che, secondo un rapporto datato gennaio 2020 della Direction générale de la Sécurité intérieure (Dgsi), possono essere classificati come territoires perdus. È in questo contesto che l'ennesima aggressione ad un poliziotto, invocando Maometto, non viene più classificata come fatto eccezionale o degno di nota.Nota di BastaBugie: Emanuel Pietrobon nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Francia, quelle enclavi etno-religiose che fanno paura a Macron" spiega come è la situazione in Francia. E c'è da stare poco allegri.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su Inside Over il 17 marzo 2020:Da diversi anni la Francia è il paese più colpito dal terrorismo islamista che imperversa nel Vecchio Continente. A Parigi, ma anche a Nizza, sono stati compiuti fra gli attentati più sanguinosi della storia recente europea, sullo sfondo delle periodiche rivolte urbane nei "quartieri difficili", nelle banlieu a maggioranza afro-araba, e del vaso di pandora, ormai scoperchiato, della pericolosa infiltrazione jihadista nelle fondamenta della repubblica: forze dell'ordine e forze armate.Recentemente, il presidente francese Emmanuel Macron, ha parlato della minaccia esistenziale rappresentata dal "separatismo islamista", che rischierebbe di minare l'unità e l'integrità territoriale della nazione per via della proliferazione di stati paralleli, degli stati all'interno dello stato, zone grigie dove la shari'a ha il sopravvento sulla legge della repubblica.La realtà delle enclavi etniche, dove segregazione e mancata integrazione facilitano la diffusione di criminalità e radicalizzazione religiosa, è tanto grave da non potere più essere nascosta, tanto che è lo stesso presidente a parlarne in pubblico, rompendo il tabù di toccare un tema che fino ai tempi recenti era stato monopolizzato dal discorso del Rassemblement National (ex Front National). È arrivato, perciò, il momento di fare il punto della situazione.Stando ad un documento proveniente dalla Direction générale de la Sécurité intérieure (DGSI), i servizi segreti francesi, e reso noto lo scorso gennaio, nel paese sarebbero attualmente 150 i quartieri, prevalentemente banlieu e zone-dormitorio, fuori dal controllo delle istituzioni e comandati da reti più o meno informali legate al jihadismo e all'islam radicale. Sono i quartieri di cui Macron ha paura, dove la shari'a ha già sostituito le leggi civili della repubblica, e dove la carenza di prospettive di mobilità sociale e integrazione ha creato delle bombe ad orologeria che periodicamente esplodono, lasciando a terra morti e feriti.I 150 quartieri sotto la lente degli investigatori sono spalmati nell'intero paese, da Parigi a Lione, passando per Marsiglia, Nizza e Tolosa, e il problema si sta rapidamente diffondendo dalla Francia metropolitana alle aree rurali, periferiche, per via della migrazione interna. Nei territori perduti, come sono stati ribattezzati, le forze dell'ordine intervengono con estrema cautela, onde evitare di accendere le proteste degli abitanti che potrebbero dar luogo a guerriglie urbane come quelle del 2005 e del 2017, ma gli operatori della sanità e dei trasporti pubblici affrontano gli stessi problemi.

Incubo terrorismo in Francia, ma in televisione nessuno ce lo dice

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6556INCUBO TERRORISMO IN FRANCIA... MA IN TELEVISIONE NESSUNO CE LO DICE di Caterina GiojelliQuartiere popolare di Devèze a Béziers (Hérault, sud della Francia). È la notte del 4 aprile, l'orologio segna l'1.55, quando le forze dell'antiterrorismo e della Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure (Dgsi) sfondano la porta dell'appartamento della famiglia B. Le quattro donne presenti, una madre e le sue tre figlie, finiscono in manette mentre inizia la perquisizione.Pochi giorni prima la Dgsi aveva ricevuto una segnalazione dall'intelligence: una giovane francese convertita all'islam si appresta a compiere un attentato nel weekend di Pasqua, aggredendo i fedeli di una chiesa di Montpellier o Strasburgo con una sciabola. I servizi di sicurezza marocchini hanno individuato il suo account e pseudonimo Telegram, "Ab-2770" e l'indirizzo Ip da cui si connette postando video dei bambini soldato dell'Isis che giustiziano ostaggi: corrisponde a quello della signora B.Coltelli, sure, la testa di PatyInizia come un film, la straordinaria inchiesta pubblicata da Le Parisien sull'arresto di Leila B., la diciottenne incriminata per associazione terroristica internazionale che prometteva di dare il proprio sangue per spargere quello cristiano. Una vendetta meditata e raccontata nel suo spaventoso diario di adolescente trovato la notte dell'irruzione, quando, spalancando la porta della stanza di Leila, gli agenti si sono trovati davanti a un santuario dell'orrore: al muro è appeso un poster delle Torri gemelle in fiamme, stampe del corpo mutilato di Samuel Paty, sul comodino un coltello da cucina da 30 centimetri.E poi bottiglie di acido solforico, acetone, alcolici metilati, siringhe, cavi elettrici, ingredienti per fabbricare ordigni esplosivi, tracce di bruciature sul pavimento, bottiglie collegate con cavi alla batteria di un cellulare, sure che incitano al jihad. Scrive Le Parisien: «Non ha la personalità di un'ordinaria apprendista terrorista. Leila B. cresce in un ambiente socialmente e culturalmente svantaggiato. Terza di cinque figli, il più piccolo dato in affido, figlia di un padre alcolizzato e gravemente malato, ha abbandonato due anni fa la scuola dopo essere stata espulsa da un corso professionale di moda in un liceo di Béziers. Da allora ha passato le giornate chiusa nella sua stanza, arrivando a smontare la maniglia della porta perché nessuno potesse entrarvi, uscendo in rare occasioni e parlando solo con sua madre».ANDRÒ A FARE UN MASSACRO AL LICEO, TAGLIERÒ TESTENella sua stanza Leila passa le giornate sui siti "gore", i più macabri e pericolosi del deep web. Guarda e riguarda i video delle stragi scolastiche, come il massacro della Columbine High School, e le decapitazioni diffuse dai fanatici dell'Isis. Ha già una denuncia all'attivo: ha minacciato una studentessa su Instagram, ha affermato che avrebbe ammazzato qualcuno sparando dal balcone prima di suicidarsi. La polizia l'ha già interrogata, «mi piace guardare le persone decapitate, vedere qualcuno che soffre, vedere chi taglia la testa, la morte», ha ammesso agli agenti. Fantasie macabre, eppure c'è molto più di quanto temeva l'intelligence nel suo diario, dove la ragazza annota il sogno di comprare «fucili d'assalto» e uccidere «centinaia» di persone, arrivando a pianificare l'assalto della sua ex scuola:«Il D-Day mi alzerò al mattino, preparerò tutto in anticipo. Verso le 9-10 ucciderò uno dei miei vicini e poi deciderò se ucciderne altri tre [...]. Dopodiché andrò al liceo e inizierò il massacro. Farò saltare in aria, distruggerò cose, ucciderò tutte le persone sul mio cammino. Il piano dettagliato consiste in bombe posizionate in luoghi diversi, saranno posizionate in anticipo».Al di là dei "sogni", c'è soprattutto nel suo diario la piantina della chiesa di Béziers, su cui affaccia la finestra della sua stanza, annotazione degli orari di apertura, punti di ritrovo, appunti e aggiornamenti sulle fasi di produzione degli esplosivi. E poi ci sono le conversazioni e i messaggi intercettati con i soggetti radicalizzati con cui discuteva su Telegram: «Ucciderò i cristiani. Taglierò teste. Ucciderò la gente di chiesa, sì, a Montpellier in Francia». Interrogata, la ragazza spiega di non essere musulmana praticante, ma di essere attratta da nazismo e jihadismo. Fa anche parte di un gruppo Telegram neonazi, "Atomwaffen Command", ma solo per «spaventare le persone».METTERÒ IN CHIESA UNA BOMBA: UCCIDERÒ I CRISTIANITuttavia il suo delirio l'ha resa facile preda di un uomo che le racconta di vivere in Turchia: è stato lui, spiega la ragazzina, a proporle un attacco coordinato «a una chiesa o a una sinagoga con le armi. Attentati suicidi. Dovevamo colpire lo stesso posto, Strasburgo o Montpellier, non era deciso [...]. Sapeva che avevo l'attrezzatura per fabbricare bombe, gli avevo mandato una foto [...]. Ho disegnato in poco tempo la pianta della chiesa che vedevo dalla mia finestra. Volevo creare una bomba con il Tatp (esplosivo da fabbricare in casa con ingredienti reperibili facilmente e in voga tra attentatori suicidi dell'Isis, già usato dai terroristi di Parigi e Bruxelles, ndr), volevo mettere questa bomba in chiesa. Ma non avevo ancora deciso quando l'avrei fatta esplodere, né l'ora né la data».«E adesso? E domani? Dopo le lacrime e gli omaggi, dopo i grandi discorsi e le manifestazioni, dopo gli hashtag, che cosa succederà? Continueremo con i compromessi davanti alla minaccia islamista o ci risveglieremo, opponendo alla guerra che ci è stata dichiarata un'altra guerra? Questa è la sola domanda che dobbiamo farci», scriveva il direttore del Figaro, Alexis Brézet, in seguito alle manifestazioni per ricordare Paty, il professore pugnalato e decapitato in Francia a Conflans-Sainte-Honorine da un diciottenne, attaccando islamisti e radicalizzati che tengono in ostaggio scuole e giovani di Francia.Scuole in cui il 40 per cento degli insegnanti «si "autocensura" su alcuni temi per non creare incidenti» (è ancora Brézet), attivisti che «non avranno armato direttamente la mano dell'assassino, ma hanno senza dubbio ispirato il suo gesto». Nel tempo permeato dal dubbio, in una Francia che come spiegava a Tempi Christophe Desmurger - insegnante delle elementari a Parigi, tra i primi a denunciare la radicalizzazione dei giovani musulmani - ha scoperto bambini diventare «assassini nel nome di una causa malata», ideologie e soluzioni radicali corrono sul web, si fanno strada oltre la scuola, entrano nelle camere degli adolescenti: «Sono le 12:11, mi sono appena svegliata e ho molte cose da fare. Devo andare a comprare un vestito, acqua ossigenata, un contenitore di vetro [...]. Presto sarà tutto finito, presto mi vendicherò. D'ora in poi nessuno potrà fermarmi», scriveva Leila B. nel suo diario.Nota di BastaBugie: l'articolo seguente dal titolo "Assassinio + cannabis = penalmente irresponsabile" mette in luce l'episodio di un musulmano che in Francia ha ucciso una madre di tre figli al solito grido di "Allah Akbar" e non è stato ritenuto colpevole dal tribunale perché, poverino, era sotto l'effetto di uno spinello.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su Tempi il 26 aprile 2021:Migliaia di persone si sono riversate nelle piazze francesi - ma anche in alcune piazze europee, come a Roma - per chiedere giustizia per Sarah Halimi, la donna ebrea di 65 anni che fu uccisa a Parigi il 4 aprile 2017 da Kobili Traorè, 27enne musulmano.Quel giorno la donna, madre di tre figli, fu aggredita e gettata da una finestra dall'uomo, suo vicino di casa. Mentre la uccideva, Traorè recitava versetti del Corano e urlava «Allah Akbar» e «ho ucciso Satana». Ma la Corte di Cassazione nel dicembre del 2019 ha sentenziato che l'assassino non può essere processato e il 14 aprile ha confermato il verdetto.Secondo i giudici, infatti, l'uomo non può essere ritenuto colpevole in quanto «penalmente irresponsabile». Tre diverse perizie - non concordi tra loro - hanno appurato che, trovandosi egli sotto gli effetti della cannabis, non era capace di intendere e volere.Secondo l'articolo 122-1 del codice penale non è perseguibile chi soffre di disturbi psicotici. Era questa, secondo i giudici, la situazione in cui si trovava Traorè, reo confesso, che fumava «fino a 15 spinelli al giorno». La Corte ha riconosciuto il carattere antisemita dell'omicidio, ma non ha mandato a processo il musulmano.Ieri sono sfilate per le strade parigine 22 mila persone che hanno scandito lo slogan «Senza giustizia, non esiste la Repubblica». Veementi sono state le reazioni in tutto il paese di fronte a una decisione che è percepita come profondamente ingiusta e irrazionale. [...]Il Consiglio superiore della magistratura è però intervenuto in difesa dei giudici: «L'istituzione giudiziaria deve poter continuare a giudicare, libera da pressioni, con completa indipendenza e imparzialità»

Nous avions déjà consacré un podcast à l’affaire Sarah Halimi en janvier 2020. L’actualité nous commande à nouveau de lui consacrer une émission. Dans un arrêt du 14 avril 2021, qui suscite de vives réactions, la Chambre criminelle de la Cour de cassation affirme que « les dispositions de l’article 122-1, alinéa 1er, du Code pénal [relatives à la cause d’irresponsabilité pénale tirée du trouble mental], ne distinguent pas selon l’origine du trouble psychique ayant conduit à l’abolition [du] discernement ». Rappelons que l’arrêt du 14 avril 2021 a été rendu dans le cadre de la médiatique affaire dite « Sarah Halimi » concernant cette femme – âgée de soixante-cinq ans et de confession juive – violentée et défenestrée par l’un de ses voisins qui s’était écrié, au moment des faits : « Allah Akbar, c'est le sheitan, je vais la tuer », « j'ai tué le sheitan », « j'ai tué un démon ». Juste avant cet acte dramatique, l’intéressé avait séquestrée une famille vivant à proximité de son appartement. À la suite de ces faits, le suspect a été mis en examen des chefs d'homicide volontaire et de séquestration avec la circonstance que les faits ont été commis à raison de l'appartenance, vraie ou supposée, de la victime à une race ou à une religion déterminée. Néanmoins, par arrêt du 19 décembre 2019, la Chambre de l’instruction de la Cour d’appel de PARIS a considéré que, malgré l’existence de charges suffisantes contre le mis en examen, son discernement devait être considéré comme aboli au moment des faits. Il a donc été déclaré pénalement irresponsable en raison de l’existence d’une « bouffée délirante aigüe » d’origine exotoxique et due à la consommation régulière de cannabis. Nous avions commenté cet arrêt dans le podcast de janvier 2020. Des pourvois ont été formés contre cette décision que la Chambre criminelle rejette dans son arrêt du 14 avril 2021. À la suite de cet arrêt, le président de la République a déclaré : « Décider de prendre des stupéfiants et devenir alors 'comme fou' ne devrait pas à mes yeux supprimer votre responsabilité pénale ». Il a annoncé alors : « Je souhaite que le garde des Sceaux présente au plus vite un changement de la loi ». Nous recevons, aujourd’hui, Olivier Bachelet, magistrat, vice-président au tribunal judiciaire d’EVRY-COURCOURONNES et enseignant de droit pénal et de procédure pénale à l’ISP, pour faire le point sur cette décision.

BGBS 056: Tamer Kattan | Comedian | Listening Is the Cost of Being Heard Tamer Kattan is an internationally touring stand-up comedian who performed for U.N. Troops in Afghanistan, for protestors at the American University in Cairo (during the Egyptian revolution) and for the really dangerous crowds at The Edinburgh Fringe in Scotland. He's won many comedy accolades over the years, has TV & radio credits on the BBC, SkyTV, Fox, HULU, Netflix, Amazon, and truTV, and was even featured on Seth Rogen's Hilarity for charity event with Todd Glass and Hannibal Bures. Tamer is currently the co-host of Nice2MarryU on Youtube and you'll learn in this episode that before it all, he began his career in advertising and worked with past guest Shawn Parr from Bulldog Drummond as a brand strategist. Tamer is an Egyptian-born American with a Muslim dad and a Jewish mom. Always bearing many identities, Tamer has considered himself a “hyphenate” and finds solace in being neither part this nor part that, but a complete thing in the middle—although it wasn't always that way. Growing up in Southern California, Tamer needed to address how people treated him for being different, and comedy was his tool to do so. He finds the connection between comedy and branding is human nature, which can only be tapped through aggressive listening and captivating storytelling. That same humanity and emotional intelligence are what motivated Tamer to write his resume on a foam butt, pop it in a donut box, and rocket launch his advertising career until he found his way back to his roots in comedy. Above all, Tamer teaches us the power of making other's feel heard, which bears the question, how will you listen more aggressively today? Quotes [10:59] I'm not American. I'm not Egyptian. I'm this thing in the middle, and being an Egyptian American is very much another thing. It's a thing into its own. I'm not half of this or half of that, I'm a complete thing, and it happens to consist of two halves. [14:51] It's not like I wanted to be funny, it was just a thing that happened. Inevitably it ended up becoming a tool against bullies, but I didn't realize it until this kid came up to me—it was a bully that bullied me every day—and finally, one day, I had enough and I started making fun of him because he had pretty big ears. Apparently, he was sensitive because he said, “Hey, if you stop making fun of me, I'll stop beating you up.” And that's why I went, “Oh, wow. Comedy is powerful. It can be powerful.” [49:36] I think being a good listener makes you a better storyteller. And I love being able to listen aggressively until I hear things and see things that other people don't see. Like in my comedy, the thing that brings me the most joy is not when people laugh, it's when people say “Oh my god, that's so true.” That's my favorite. [54:07] I think that's what it means to be a human being. We're parts of multiple tribes and multiple groups. And I think if you break the ridiculous stereotypes, people become people again.

And I looked at it I'm like, This is absurd. I just have skate shop and surf shop experience. Why am I even setting this to an ad agency? So I said, Well, if I can't show my creativity through the experience that I've had, maybe I can shoot show it, and how I express that experience. So because it was around Halloween, I went into this Halloween shop and they had those foam butts that you could tie around your waist and make it look like you have a naked butt. And I wrote my resume across the butt cheeks. And I wrote Cal Poly senior willing to work as a software internship. And then I went to a donut store and bought a pink box for $1 it was such a ripoff. And then I put it in the box and I mailed it to Shai a day. And three days later, they called me and asked me and I heard that the HR lady kept the butt on her wall for like a year.

Tamer is an internationally touring stand up comedian, who performed for UN troops in Afghanistan for protesters at the American University in Cairo during the Egyptian revolution. And for the really dangerous crowds at the Edinburgh Fringe in Scotland, where he received three four star reviews from international press. He was most recently featured on Seth Rogan's hilarity for charity event with pod glass and Hannibal Burress won the World Series of comedy, comedy knockout on true TV, best of fest at big pine Comedy Festival, and three weeks later won the Portland Comedy Festival. He is the co host of Nice 2 Marry You YouTube, and has TV and radio credits on the BBC and sky TV in the UK as well as in the US on Fox, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and Tru TV. He's also worked as a strategist at some of the world's biggest and best advertising agencies in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. And what you're going to hear today is there's probably not a whole lot that Tamer really can't do or isn't good at. And I was connected to Tamer via a previous guest on the show, Shawn Parr of Bulldog Drummond, and no disrespect to Shawn, but I wasn't clear on why he thought I should talk with Tamer. Well, Shawn's a smart guy, and Tamer, Well, I'm going to save that for today's show. What I will say is I'm crushing hard on Tamer. He's smart. He's worked at the coolest agencies on the biggest brands in the world. He left it all behind to pursue what really made him happy. Stand up comedy. Tamer drops all sorts of insight and wisdom in this episode, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Oh, it makes sure to listen for the your dog is sticky story. I loved it. I'm excited to introduce you to Tamer Kattan. And this is his story. I am here with Tamer Kattan. Tamer actually happens to be in Spain and I'm in Colorado and even though we've been doing this for decades, at this point talking over the internet, I'm still amazed that this works in real time and that we can do this it's like still blows my mind, but that's true. Tambor, welcome. Welcome to the Baby Got Backstory Podcast. It's, it's great to have you. Tamer Kattan 4:45 Thanks for having me, Marc. It's nice to be chatting with you. It's nice to see an American face. Marc Gutman 4:51 Sometimes, right. It's been a tough week here in America, so maybe, maybe not so much. But at tamp. Tamer is an internationally touring stand up comedian. He's perfect. For him at the UN, with before troops in Afghanistan, for protesters at the American University in Cairo during the Egyptian revolution, we'd love to hear about that. And that's not how we know each other. You know, I'm a big fan of comedy. I love comedy, but I was actually introduced to Tamer through a, another brand professional. Shawn Parr over at Bulldog Drummond. And interesting enough, Tamer got his start as a brand strategist. And so, Tamed, I'd love to get into that a little bit. But like, more than that, I want to know, you know, when you were young was little Tamer, were you like, was it like almost like the two you know, the two little angel devil on the shoulder was like one of brand strategists and one a stand up comedian or like, would you want to be when you were a kid? Like, like, like, did you do you think you'd end up here? Tamer Kattan 5:53 Oh, man. Bipolar would be easy. I mean, I've been I've been divided for a long time. And I have a Muslim dad, a Jewish mom. So like, the whole I like, I've always just been a mixed up kid, I had people telling me I wasn't a real American, I wasn't really Egyptian. I wasn't a real Jew, I wasn't a real Muslim. So like, I've always kind of been a hyphenate as a type. As a person. I've always been comfortable being a hyphenate. And for me, quite honestly, like when I look at, I've always tried to sort of anticipate the direction of things. And I think even when I first got into advertising, I didn't get into it, because I loved commercials. I got into it, because I love storytelling. And I see the big umbrella is storytelling, and I see brand strategy and, and comedy, both fitting under that larger umbrella. So for me, it wasn't that different. You know, it's like being a wrestler that becomes a UFC fighter. It sounds like two different things, but they're kind of related. Marc Gutman 6:48 Well, absolutely. And I agree but I think you articulated very well that, that storytelling is a broad umbrella. I think a lot of people run around talking about being storytellers. But you still have to have that specific discipline, whether it be advertising, whether you're telling stories through comedy, whether you're telling, you know, different channels. And so I know myself, I made that mistake early in my career, I was run around telling everyone I was a storyteller because I was but then it becomes really hard to find work because no one knows where you fit. But where did you grow up? Like what was what was childhood like? For you mentioned that you had this bifurcated family? And you never really fit what we're we're where'd you grow up? And what was that like? Like what your parents do and stuff like that? Tamer Kattan 7:34 Um, well, we were in Egypt when I was a kid. And my dad left first and he came to America, he went to Southern California, Santa Monica. Although initially, it was easier to get a visa in colder weather states back then. So he originally got a visa for Utah. And, and then we were in Egypt. And you know, we're talking about technology right now, how blown away we are, about how great it is to be able to speak across the world. And when my dad first immigrated to the States, I had these very vivid picture of my mom tracing my hand on a piece of paper to show my dad how fast I was growing. Like it was, it was wild. And it was also a strange thing, because at a very early age, it was kind of the reverse of an animal priming on something you know, like when it when a cat gets adopted by a Labrador. It was like I got unglued from my dad for almost a year and a half where he was in the States. And my mom and I were in Cairo. So I was I was born in Cairo. And when I was around six, my dad left the states. And at eight years old, we reconnected in Los Angeles. So I grew up for the most part in Southern California. And the first place we live was a very Mexican neighborhood in East LA, which was the best place an immigrant could start in America, because they were very accepting. And they said, Hey, you look like one of us. You got pyramids, we got pyramids, youre in. They accepted me. And then from there, you know, it's really strange being an immigrant, sometimes you get to experience society in a different way. Because you you start at maybe a lower socio economic class than you're used to in your home country. And then you kind of move pretty quickly, vertically up sometimes, maybe, maybe do more jumps than you would have if you're a native born person. So we had a pretty interesting view of America at a pretty early age. Marc Gutman 9:27 Yeah. And was it all positive? Or was it tough? I mean, one thing I can share with you is, you know, I grew up in Detroit, and I have a Jewish father and a Christian mother and, and I had a lot of those same challenges that I never really felt like I fit and I never felt like I was really accepted by the Jewish side of the family or the other side. And, you know, you know, I was always kind of using like shape shifting a little bit and code shifting code switching as I say to my advantage, but there's also a lot of disadvantages. I remember being like I'm not Jewish and like hiding, you know, like From fights and stuff like that, and but that, you know, that didn't matter to the to the the kids that wanted to brand me with that label. I mean, was it hard for you like being irreverent and also just trying to figure out what your identity was? I mean, I think it's cool now to be like, yeah, I'm like, that was split. That was awesome. But at the time was a hard. Tamer Kattan 10:20 Oh, definitely. I mean, it was I had so many times I remember uttering the phrase, I just want to be normal, which is like, as an adult, that's the last thing I want to be. But as a kid, I just kept feeling like I'm, I'm abnormal, you know, even even the word they give immigrants is alien. So I always felt like I was kind of floating in space, you know, but just like, you know, emotions are just like physical pain, sometimes, like it hurt. I think I was. So I took so much emotional abuse, that I finally built a callus, which I welcomed with open arms. And once that callus was there, then I learned to embrace the fact that Yeah, I'm not American, I'm not Egyptian, I'm this thing in the middle. And being an Egyptian American is very much another thing, it's a thing into its own. I'm not half of this, or half of that I'm a complete thing. And it happens to consist of two halves. But it took it took a lot of a lot of crappy things heard a lot of racism a lot of, and not just from Americans, from other Egyptians, from Jewish people from from everybody. So it was a it was a wild experience. Marc Gutman 11:28 Yeah, I mean, I remember as a kid coming home crying because I just I wanted to have a communion Catholic communion. Because that's what all the kids, the kids are, do. And I was like, why can't I have? Besides, I was like, thinking a lot of money. That's cool. But like, really more than that, like, I was like, they're all doing it. And I want to be like, just those normal kids. And so I can totally relate where you're coming from. Did you like was there a big Egyptian community in Southern California? Were there I mean, I, I spent a lot of time, you know, I lived in Santa Monica for a while and things like that. And I just don't, I don't ever remember it. So like, and I could just be because it's just, you know, something I'm not looking for. But was there? Was there a big Egyptian community when you were there? Tamer Kattan 12:10 I think there is. But it's funny, you know, a lot of these communities start to form, especially these immigrant communities start to form and they're usually based on spirituality or religion. And so there's definitely an Egyptian community, but it's kind of forked. And on one side, there's the Muslim Egyptians all kind of have the mosque as sort of the home base of their social life. And then you've got the Coptic Christian Egyptians. And for us, we didn't fit into either. So even though I was aware of an Egyptian community, I was very much an outsider to it. Marc Gutman 12:44 And so what was life like for you as a kid in terms of school, like were you into? Did you know from an early age that you were going to be a storyteller of sorts? Tamer Kattan 12:56 You know, it's funny that you say that, because it's not it wasn't conscious at all. I, you know, I spend a lot of time alone. And, you know, back in the 80s, it was really cool. You know, I was a latchkey kid, I was one of those kids, you know, that had the house key tied, you know, the string around my neck, and my parents both had to work two jobs. So there were times where I'd wake up in the morning, and to an empty house. And I'd come home from school to an empty house. So I had a lot of time just to think. And I think that's that was the foundation of becoming a storyteller was just having a lot of time to yourself and to thinking. I really got into Dungeons and Dragons at a really early age. So my, my, my vocabulary of weapons, and monsters and mythology grew. And when we started writing, for this creative writing class that I had in elementary school, the teacher called my parents at home and said, Hey, I need you to come in, we have to talk about Tamer and about the stories that he's writing. And they came in, they say, and he said, Look, I love these stories, but they're a little bit violent. And I'm, I'm either gonna see his name on the front of a paper at the end of a movie, and I wanted to make sure that it's the ladder. And but he didn't know about Dungeons and Dragons, and that's why I knew so much about weapons is because that's silly game. Marc Gutman 14:11 You knew everything and nothing about weapons, right? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. about what you do from Dungeons and Dragons. But were you a funny kid. At that time? Are you? Are you leaning into humor? And you know, and I've talked to a lot of people and who either have tough childhoods, they don't feel like they fit they've been maybe sometimes bullied. And humor is typically the defense mechanism. It's what they use to Yeah, you know, keep people on their heels or just survive a bit. I mean, it was that it was that something for you? Or was it something different? Tamer Kattan 14:41 Yeah, in a very big way. And again, it's just so bizarre because because I am kind of a control freak, I think at times, and there was no design. It's not like I wanted to be funny. I desire to be fun. It was just a thing that happened. It was just something where they said oh, you're just like your grandfather and Inevitably it ended up becoming a tool against bullies. And but I didn't realize it until this one day when this kid came up to me. And he said, it was a bully that bullied me every day. And finally, one day, I had enough and I started making fun of him because he had pretty big ears. And, and apparently, he was sensitive because he said, Hey, if you stop making fun of me, I'll stop beating you up. And that's why I went, Oh, wow. comedy is powerful. It can be powerful. Marc Gutman 15:25 words have power. And so yeah, I mean, were you doing stand up routines in high school? Like, were you at the talent show? And are we getting into this early? Tamer Kattan 15:34 No, not at all, we had this really interesting thing. There's a, there's actually Detroit made this famous and Eminems movie Eight Mile, battle rapping came from a thing called playing the dozens, and playing the dozens just you just make fun of each other, back and forth. And it came from slavery, when they used to sell slaves one at a time unless there was something wrong with them. And then they would sell them as a dozen in a cage. And those dozen slaves would make fun of each other. And that's where all those jokes like your mama jokes came from. And like, it was really harsh, almost like, you know, even if we look at roast battles like that, that environment was the foundation for that. So in the neighborhood I lived in, we had Hello cat, there's my cat in the background. We had, we played the dozens. So it was a pretty poor school. And we had a 10 minute break before lunch called nutrition, where the government would give you milk and trail mix. And I was always just people would jump on me during those sessions and start just making fun of me and sort of attack me with words. And you know, just like with any other type of battling, the more you get beat up, the better you get on the offensive. So I just naturally became pretty good with words. Marc Gutman 16:49 And were you a good student? Tamer Kattan 16:50 I was Yeah, it was funny. There was some cultural things I had to I had to stop doing like I was in the habit of raising my hand to answer a question then standing up to answer it. And that usually ended with me getting beat up at recess. Marc Gutman 17:06 You learn quickly not to do that. And then So, I mean, what did your parents hoped for you? I mean, they're working their butts off. They're doing two jobs. They're immigrants. I mean, I have to imagine, it's a bit of that American dream that they're hoping for a better life. They're hoping for something great for you. And what was that? Tamer Kattan 17:25 Well, for it's really interesting, because my dad, because he was the one who felt like he was absorbing most of the risk. And the one who probably out of all of us, he's probably the one that felt like he was, you know, walking a wire without a net, because we were in America without a family without friends. And I think he felt like you always had to have a job. And that job was what protected you from homelessness or, like a terrible life. So he didn't care what I liked. He just wanted me to do what was safe. So in his mind, the ultimate job was doctor, lawyer, engineer that that was the three but I didn't want to do any of those things. I I ended up going to university for kinesiology for it, I didn't even know what I was going to do with it. I was like a strength and conditioning coach or something like that. But I basically took those classes just so my dad thought that I was doing pre med, but I wasn't. And it was my my junior year where I, I interned as a strength and conditioning coach, and I'm like, Oh my god, I'm not gonna wear these polyester shorts for the rest of my life. And a friend of mine said, Hey, you know, I'm a marketing major. And this ad agency is coming to Cal Poly, and they're going to show their commercial real. And I heard that it's really great. These are the guys that invented the Energizer Bunny. And so I'm like, Oh, that sounds cool. So I went with him. I watched the reel, and there was so many funny commercials. And you know, and she kept talking about the woman, Nancy Ali, I still remember her name. so crazy. Nancy Ali said that comedy was most disruptive form of storytelling, because you didn't need to know anything. You could watch a stranger fall down. And it's funny. But if you're trying to do a drama in 15 seconds, good luck. So I watched that reel. And I was impressed by it. And I thought to myself, Oh, wow, here's where to get paid for being funny. And I went up to her and I spoke to her and I said, you know, my major is not marketing she was doesn't matter. I recommend you buy this book called inventing desire. And it was a book where a journalist actually lived in the offices of Shai a day, at the time was just one office, but it's an amazing office. And I literally borrowed four more dollars, so I could buy the book that night. And I read it in one night and fell in love with the idea of working in an ad agency. Marc Gutman 19:39 What about that book spoke to you? Tamer Kattan 19:42 The honesty. I was I always thought that, you know, when you work in a corporate environment that you couldn't be yourself anymore. I felt like it was constrained. And in the book, she was sort of showing the type of conversations people had and they were cussing. And I think as a kid, I was like, Oh, well These adults are cussing. And it was just real and they were passionate. And they were creating something. They're creating stories. And so I got really excited. And I remember I did the craziest thing, it was around Halloween. And I heard that they got something like 400 resumes a day for internships, and I wrote a resume through a typical template. And I looked at it, I'm like, This is absurd. I just have skate shop and surf shop experience. Why am I even setting this to an ad agency? So I said, Well, if I can't show my creativity through the experience that I've had, maybe I can shoot show it, and how I expressed that experience. So because it was around Halloween, I went into this Halloween shop and they had those foam butts that you could tie around your waist to make it look like you have a naked butt. And I wrote my resume across the butt cheeks. And I wrote Cal Poly Sr. willing to work as asof for internship. And then I went to a donut store and bought a pink box for $1. It was such a ripoff. And then I put it in the box and I mailed it to Shai a day. And three days later, they called me and asked me and I heard that the HR lady kept the butt on her wall for like a year. Marc Gutman 21:10 Did you end up getting the internship? Tamer Kattan 21:12 Yeah, I got the job. Yeah, Marc Gutman 21:13 That's amazing. Tamer Kattan 21:14 And it turned into a job too. Marc Gutman 21:16 Oh, that's amazing. And so how long did you work for Shai day, what was forget that let's back up a second, like, so you're a young kid, you're like, I'm gonna go to the preeminent advertising firm in the world, you you impress them, you do a great job. And that's one of the things I do love about advertising, marketing, branding, it's like talent speaks, you know, and so you you got their attention and that and so like, I was the first day like, Tamer Kattan 21:42 It was funny, and to underpin your point, the people who worked, and they told me, Listen, we don't have an opening and creative, but we have an opening and broadcast. And the people there liked my resume so much, because everything else, they seemed like they were bored of the other resumes they were getting. So they they primed me to interview with Richard O'Neill, who is the executive producer on like, the George Orwell spot, 1984. And I guess, he said, I refuse to accept an intern here who's not in film school. And so they basically told me, you're gonna lie, you're gonna say that you're in film school. And I remember like, being like, Oh, my God, I can't lie. I was a kid. And I'm like, Can I lie to this man, but they told me you're gonna lie. And if you have to go to film school aid, and we'll send you to film classes at night, but we want you here, you want to be here. This is the this is the last gatekeeper. And we're going to tell you what you need to do to get the job. And yeah, it was pretty wild. Marc Gutman 22:40 And so you walked in, and I mean, what was it? Like? I mean, was it cuz I remember when I was in California, passing the building in Venice, and it had the big, kind of like, binoculars, binoculars, right? Yeah, giant binoculars out fry. It just seemed like, I never went in and it just seemed like the place where really cool things happened. You know, we're really cool things were created. And I had this like Mystique in order to me. I wasn't even in the advertising business. I was in the film business. I was like, that looks really really cool. Yeah, like, what was it? Like, when you got in there? I mean, like, like, a certain, Tamer Kattan 23:15 You know, that song? Eye of the tiger from the 80s? Yeah, it was like walking into that song. Like, everything, I just my heart rate just started going up. You know, we went in, I remember my first little tour. And as you know, they they welcomed interns, just like real employees. And we got like, a tour of the place. And they gave us a coffee mug that said, innovate or die, you know. And then they had like, and then added another, that was the coffee mug and a T shirt said who wants to be an effing ad agency. And just the logo was like a skull and crossbones. And it was, you know, all about disruptive thinking and breaking conventions. And it was, it was just sexy, you know, a really sexy thinking and really sexy ideas. And they had punching bags in the office that have management heads, on screen printed on the punching bags. See? And I'm like, this place is so cool. It was it was like nothing I'd seen before. And I felt like I was home. Marc Gutman 24:13 Yeah, and rock and roll culture. But yeah, so the culture is cool. And you're looking around, but like, what about the work? Like, what was going on? Like, what did you get to work on? And what were some of your first experiences? I mean, Tamer Kattan 24:25 I was greatly intimidated when I started. And you know, the work Initially, I was just a broadcast assistant. Actually, I was an intern at first. And what was happening is it was really interesting when you're an intern at a place like that, because there's so many interns and, and so many of them go in and out that a lot of times people don't spend a lot of time getting to know you. So I did very menial tasks in the beginning but I went out of my way to show that I wanted more than that. So you know, I would do all the typical things like get coffee, pick up food, photocopies back when that was the thing to do. Do But then I'd go up to the the guy who was the video editor at the time it was on an avid system, you know? And I'd say, Hey, can I go to lunch with you? And can I buy a piece of pizza because it's all I could afford, you know, and, and ask you about editing? And I think that they were, it's so funny because it's such a simple thing. And I remember as a kid looking at this grown man, and going, Oh, he, it brought him joy, that I took a real interest in what he was really passionate about. And I remember feeling off balance a little bit, that I was this young guy that kind of touched this older person, it was sort of a role reversal. In my mind, I thought, so I think I didn't have the sexiest job, but because I kept because I stayed passionate the whole time, because I didn't let the menial labor, get me down. And I ended up getting hired after the internship was over. And then, you know, I immediately was working on Nissan Gatorade, you know, zema at the time, really big stuff, like really big, high profile accounts. And even though I was, you know, the tiniest, the tiniest part of the totem pole, it still felt great to see my fingerprint, you know, on on these things. Marc Gutman 26:15 Yeah. And it's, you know, even talking about the avid editing machines, I remember those, they were like, it was like the dawn of like, nonlinear editing. And it was such a big deal. And they were like, yeah, you know, $100,000 or $60,000 for a machine. And I just remember, you know, you had a bay of them. And I just remember thinking, like, who could ever only the craziest people could ever edit on a computer, you know, like, how, yeah, how does that happen? And then in the process of transferring the film, the digital was something that was my first job, actually, I would drive the film to the processing studio. And so I knew a lot about it, but it was just crazy. And so but I also, you know, I had a similar experience. And then I was a young person living in Santa Monica and living in California. And it was tough. You know, it was expensive. It was competitive. Like, how did you fare like, I mean, you loved it, and you're working on these accounts, but like, how are you getting by? Because I'm guessing they're not paying yet? Tamer Kattan 27:11 Yeah, I mean, I think it was 18,000. That was my first salary. And then they gave me like an American Express corporate card. I don't think I understood how to use that card. So I would use it not realizing, oh, shit, I gotta pay this immediately. You know, I wasn't very smart. You know, I was I lived on electric Avenue in Venice, when Venice was still I mean, Venice. To this day, there's a coffee shop that has kind of the unofficial slogan of Venice Beach, which is where art meets crime. And, and that's what Venice was like, I lived on electric Avenue. And there was, you know, there's a lot of crime, you hear gunshots at night, I live not too far from Shai day, but it was scary at night. And, you know, it was my first time living on my own. And I struggled for sure to, you know, figure out how to pay bills and how to be organized. But I love going to work. And so if there was one part of me that was acting like an adult, it was the part that went to work. Marc Gutman 28:09 Yeah, it's so interesting to see Venice today and how it how it's changed. I mean, my first my first apartment was on Navy street in Venice, right on the border. And I was so excited cuz I had this like, I'm not kidding. You like a two inch sliver view to the ocean. You know, being a kid for Michigan. I was like, I'm on the ocean or whatever. But I mean, it was Yeah, awful place. And it was super tiny. Like a studio I shared with somebody, but I was like, No, you'd be in Venice. And once the sun went down, I'd be I'd be scared. So I get it. And it's tough. And so you're you're working to shut it down. I mean, is this, you think this is it your future? This is all you're gonna do for the rest of your life? What's where do you go from here? Tamer Kattan 28:48 No, you know, it's funny. I I'd never worked like that before. So and I didn't really pace myself. I felt like Shia Day was a marathon and I sprinted as fast as I could. And I'd say about a year and a half in, I'd had enough. And I kind of, I heard a friend of mine, started an outrigger canoe school in Hawaii. And I was like, boy, Does that sound good. And he invited me to work with him. And I remember the day I quit, there was a woman named Elaine Hinton, who is the vice president of broadcast I'm not sure she's still there. And she was an amazing woman. And she basically looked at me and said, Are you crazy? What are you doing? And I said, I'm going to Hawaii. She goes, you're leaving shy, dare to go to Hawaii to paddle canoes. And I go, you know, I gained weight. I was sitting in these cold editing rooms. It just, and I wasn't I didn't know how to pace myself. You know, so I burned out. And I left I went to Hawaii, and she tried her best to, to put some wisdom in me. But it was it was the right thing for me at the time. I ended up working at Shai de two more times in the in the future. So I always went back. I still I just spoke to rob Schwartz the other day, who's the chief creative officer at Shai day in New York. Well, Ashley is the first creative that became a CEO of Shai day. And, you know, we still talk, you know, and he, I retweeted a post and he said something like, once a pirate, always a pirate, you know, and it felt great, you know, because shy it was more than an agency for me, it became a part of my identity, you know, as did Bulldog Drummond when I worked with Shawn, you know, he was definitely another sticker that I had in my suitcase, a big one. Marc Gutman 30:30 Yeah. And so you're in Hawaii, you anything major come of this. canoe school, outrigger canoe school. Tamer Kattan 30:38 The biggest thing was boredom. Oh, my God. It was so I didn't realize what Island living was like until I remember going shopping and seeing this cool shirt, you know, and I'm like, oh the shirts great. And I was excited about wearing it to a nightclub and meeting a girl. And I went into the nightclub under like six other guys with the same shirt. And I'm like, I'm getting out of here. This is Marc Gutman 30:59 Not a lot of choice on the island, right? Tamer Kattan 31:03 I lasted about six months in Hawaii. Marc Gutman 31:05 That's awesome. You came back to California? Tamer Kattan 31:08 Came back to California. I ended up I did a little bit of a left turn where I worked in the fashion industry for a little bit my family. On on the Jewish center garmentos, talk about a cliche, right? And so I ended up working for this big fashion trade show called Magic was the men's apparel guild in California. And I learned a lot about the fashion industry. But I always still identified as an ad person as someone who understood brand. And always thought, Oh, that's going to hurt the brand. You can't do that. You know, whenever we talked about sales versus sales goals versus communication goals, I'd always be the person who's trying to do my best to protect the brand. So even when I was at these other industries, I still felt a pull back towards working at the brand level. Marc Gutman 31:52 Is that when you got back, went back to ChiatDay? Tamer Kattan 31:54 Yeah, I ended up going back to back to ChiatDay years later. I worked at Deutsche at Chiat, young and Rubicam. So I kind of did a little tour. I even worked at Leo Burnett in Chicago and also in Dubai. Marc Gutman 32:07 I mean, is there any a list agency you didn't work at? Tamer Kattan 32:11 Yes, Saatchi and Saatchi is the one I haven't worked at. Marc Gutman 32:15 Love marks is that there is that their book? Love marks. Tamer Kattan 32:19 Yeah, I love it's funny too, because I love that book. And I remember reading that book and going, Oh, I really want to work at Saatchi. But you know that the timing wasn't right. And I always had, you know, other things popping up. So I No, I've never worked at Saatchi. Yeah. Marc Gutman 32:32 Yeah, there's still time. There's still time. But like, at what point did you become what you would consider a brand strategist? Tamer Kattan 32:41 I think, you know, it's funny because I got the label of brand strategist when I first started working with Shawn. And it was because there was two ways into brand strategy, I thought at an early age, which was, I always knew I wanted to get into brand strategy, but I was I was pretty young at the time. And I noticed that a lot of them either had British accents, or Ivy League educations. And so I said, Alright, I don't have experience as a strategist. So this is me going back to the type of thinking I had when I gave them the foam butt right, where I said, I have to start thinking about what they want, what's gonna disrupt their thinking, What's going to be different. And so when I was approaching Shawn, I said, I don't want to approach the client approach him and say, Hey, I can be a strategy for the clients you have now. I'd rather say, Okay, I'm not a strategist, yet. I don't have experience as a strategist. But what I do have is a tremendous amount of experience and action sports. And so even though I'm not a strategist, I have the type of instincts and understanding of the culture that drives these categories that you're I don't care how British the strategist is. I don't care if he went to Harvard. He doesn't know more about skateboards and surfboards and the community than I do. And that's the way that I positioned myself. And Shawn ended up hiring me to pitch Airwalk. And at the time, Airwalk was pretty big business. And I remember when we wrote one that pitch, there was an article that came out and they referred to us as you know, David and Goliath, the little agency that beat all the big agencies. Marc Gutman 34:13 Was it boulder ball Bulldog drummond at the time? Yeah. So I have two very good friends who both appeared on this podcast who were principals in the marketing at Airwalk. On the snow side, one guy by the name of Steve Nilsen, who goes by Stix. I don't know if he ever ran Tamer Kattan 34:29 Oh, yeah, I remember Stix. Oh, my god! Marc Gutman 34:32 you know, he was on the podcast now. He actually works. He's doing marketing with liquid death, the water company. I don't know if Tamer Kattan 34:39 it's fun. I just saw them on LinkedIn the other day and I was I was checking out the brand. That's as soon as you said Stix, it clicked Marc Gutman 34:45 And Mike Artz and it literally he was right before this call texting me about Linda Nilander and who you may have worked with as well and airwalk who was a marketing principal, but anyways, That's crazy. That's crazy. So, Tamer Kattan 35:02 Yeah, Marc Gutman 35:02 you went you got airwalk and I think weren't they doing a lot of work out here in Colorado? Weren't they like they were, Tamer Kattan 35:08 We were in evergreen almost every week. And at one point I was living in, in Denver. Okay. And commuting to was evergreen or? Yeah, I think was evergreen. Marc Gutman 35:18 Yeah. Genesee right like, I think it was, it was technically Genesee wood right next to evergreen. But yeah, we're the office was. Yeah, that's, uh, that's crazy. And so. So that's how you got got on Shawn's radar? Tamer Kattan 35:33 Yeah, kind of and I knew, you know, I, I started reading a lot of books I At first I thought, Oh, the way to be a strategy is to to get mentored at an agency. And it was, it was tough to find a mentorship strategy side. So I ended up just reading tons of books lovemarks was was one of them. Me, the pirate inside, there are a lot of books that really kind of steered my thinking. And ø Marc Gutman 36:40 And any other books that influenced your thinking at that time that you remember, Tamer Kattan 36:45 oh, yeah, there was a book on archetypes that just, I remember just blew my mind open. I think it was the outlaw, cowboy and outlaw or something like that. And it was about, you know, the 13 different archetypes and storytelling. And yeah, it was it was a lot of those things. And what I ended up doing as well, as you know, I noticed agencies of the time, it was really popular to put case studies on their websites. And even when they filled up filled out case studies for effectiveness awards. And as you know, a lot of people ignore these, but what a great education to read, how different agencies deconstruct their pitches and how they found their insight. And what the insight was that they found whether it was quantitatively or qualitatively. So I just started digging into entries for competitions from different ad agencies and digging into case studies of different ad agency websites. I've always been a big fan of sort of macgyvering knowledge, you know, and figuring out smart ways of gaining information quickly. Marc Gutman 37:49 This episode brought to you by Wildstory.

And then So at what point, you know, you mentioned that you were bestowed the title and I have a very similar I remember, like, my very first jobs, I was a story editor and you know, to studio, it's a really big job. But when you're a production company, it means a lot of different things. And I was way over my head, you know, I was doing, you know, script analysis, but also picking up dry cleaning as well. And, you know, at what point did you actually feel like you were a brand strategist, you know, versus having that title, Tamer Kattan 39:18 I think, I mean, there was one moment where I felt like I wasn't trying to prove I was a strategist but I actually brought something that was different. I brought I felt like I was a very good strategist. And it was a moment when we were I was moderating a focus group. Actually, no, I take that back. Somebody else was moderating. I was behind the glass. And sometimes I think a lot of agency people at times will get bored. It's it is it's tedious work to watch someone else moderate a focus group. And it was for Mitsubishi at the time, I think. And we're watching all these SUV people that were intending to buy an SUV Within six months, or within a year, and you know, there's a typical discussion guide, which is so full of questions that it actually doesn't create a discussion. It's just question answer. And there's a moment during focus groups where moderators come into the room and ask the people behind the glass, do you have any more questions you want to ask? And when the moderator came back, I kept watching the people, because I was interested. And when I was watching them, I noticed people showing each other pictures, and they were pictures of their dogs. So I said to the moderator, Hey, can you ask how many of them are dog owners? And he looked at me and said, What? And I'm like, I'm just curious, the number of people that buy SUVs, I'm curious if they're dog owners, so he went in and asked me was something like seven out of 10. And we were like, Whoa, that's a pretty big percentage. The next group was only five. But then the next two groups were like eight and nine out of 10. So then we did it. It was like a survey monkey thing where we quantified it and said, Well, we have something there's something really interesting about there's definitely a correlation between people who buy SUVs and people who are dog owners. So we approached Mitsubishi and said, Hey, you know, you've got competition with all your competition when they create packages for the various SUVs, they've got technology packages, they've got luxury packages, they've got all these different sort of pack, but nobody has a dog package. And and there were these Japanese business guys are pretty intimidating to pitch to. And they started clapping. And it just, it made me it just tickled me man, I was just in one of them gave us this Hunter S. Thompson quote, he said, I don't believe the truth is ever told between the hours of nine and five is what people connect between nine and five was certain things in common. But the things after five o'clock are stickier. So and your dog is very sticky. And it's more sticky than these other things. And I was like when you had the guy on the brand side, convincing his own team of the inside. I was like, Okay, I'm proud of myself. I get myself pat on the back on that one. Marc Gutman 41:59 That's so awesome. That's great. And so, during this time, it sounds like your career is going pretty great. And you're you're making a way for yourself. Are you practicing comedy at all? Or is that something that's yet to come up? Tamer Kattan 42:13 No, actually, you know, it's funny, it's, uh, it went a little. It was a little dark period. For me to be honest. Like, you know, Robin Williams used to always say, cocaine is God's way of telling you, you're making too much money. And I was like a single guy making a lot of money. And I just started partying a lot and going out with friends. And I kind of slipped after I reached a point where I'm like, yeah, I'm proud of myself. I'm a great strategist. And then I just became the worst strategist for about three years. And I, all of a sudden, I think the worst thing, the worst label they've ever given strategist is the smartest guy in the room. I think it's detrimental to have people think that that's what they have to live up to. And I didn't ask as many questions because I got a little bit of a little arrogant, and I stopped being happy with advertising I wasn't is as excited anymore. And then my dad passed away. And when my dad passed away, I had this really weird moment where I realized everything that I was doing was to try to make my dad proud of me. And it was the first time where I said, Well, what makes you happy. And I'd never really done that. And I sort of had this big cleansing period where I stopped drinking, I started, I learned how to learn Transcendental Meditation. I just kind of grabbed the steering wheel back. And, and I was, you know, I was shocked that, you know, 3940 years old, I'd never really known what makes me happy. What was the driver for me? And so I ended up saying, hey, I've always wanted to do comedy. And, but I was afraid to do it, to be honest, because comedy for me was an identity. You know, and I really didn't have that I was always not fully Egyptian, not fully American, not fully Jewish, not fully Arab. But I was funny, and everyone agreed I was funny. So I was afraid to try to be a comedian. Because what if they told me Oh, you know what, we are also not funny. And then I would have just been floating in space. So I didn't know what I was going to do. But I had a friend of mine who ended up marrying Dick Van Dyke. Believe it or not, she's a girl. She was my girlfriend in high school, and then fell in love with Dick vandyke. And now they're married couple, and there's, they're amazing together. But her brother and I were both the funny guys in high school. And she bumped into me at a supermarket and said, Hey, john is doing stand up. Do you want to go see him? And I'm like, Oh, my God, are you kidding me? And I remember getting really excited at the thought of someone so close to me performing stand up comedy. And not only was he good at the show, he blew every other comic away. And at that point, I thought to myself, well, if john is that much better than everyone else, and john and i were the funny guy In high school, if I could just be a little bit if I could be even close to as good as he is, I, you know, this will be fun. And I didn't think it was gonna turn into anything else. I thought it was just going to take one class and get on stage once and have it be a bucket list thing that then professional comedians started approaching me and saying, Hey, you got something. And I did the Edinburgh Fringe in Scotland. And I won Best New International act under two years and had a manager assigned me and I came back to the states and quit my job and advertising and sold my house and sold my car and moved to England and lived in a box for four years doing stand up. Marc Gutman 45:38 And how, like, how was that? Was that great? Tamer Kattan 45:40 Or was it it was the best. I went from driving a fancy car living in a house in the Hollywood Hills with a view of the Hollywood sign to literally living in an apartment with no windows, right. It was owned by the comedy club. When we showered It was me and another comedian that live there. Whenever we showered, we had to open a skylight so that the house wouldn't turn into a sauna. Like it was terrible. And we live behind a chicken shop with a really high fence. So people thought behind the fence was a dumpster. So every night I'd come home, there'd be a bag of chicken bones at my doorstep. So I mean, I went from top of the world to bottom of the world in terms of residents, but I was the happiest I've ever been. Marc Gutman 46:19 What? You know, it's so crazy. Like, how did you have an find the courage to make that decision? I mean, you said you're like 3940 years old things are going good. I mean, it's got to be scary to enter into. I mean, I can't believe there was one and I've done stand up. I can't believe there's one stand up comedian that said, Hey, kid, this is easy. This is an easy life, right? This is both easy business and an easy life. I know. It's hard. Like, like, Where did you find that strength to pursue that dream? Tamer Kattan 46:49 You know, this is gonna sound so silly. But it you know how I said, when I was a kid, I didn't even know what made me funny. Just something that kind of happened. I think I've always just been drawn to that I think we're all supposed to do something. And I didn't want to give up looking for it, you know, and I felt like advertising was very, very close to it. And I still I still love advertising, I still actively read about ads and case studies, I think it's brilliant. Like, it's literally To me, it's our version of carving hieroglyphics on a pyramid. It's the digital version of doing that. And I think it's a privilege to work with some brands for sure. But for me, I think I was at a point where I didn't have much to lose, I was single, I didn't think I was going to get married I I was, you know, I wasn't happy. At my advertising job. I was in a situation that was tough for everyone, it was a digital ad agency that wanted to go full service, which is everybody in advertising knows is one of the toughest Growing Pains culturally, for an agency to go from just digital to, to full service. Even if it's digitally lead, it was really hard for them to embrace strategy. So it was a hard job there. Especially as you know, you get the title of change agent change agent. And you think it's nice, but people don't like change. And so I had a tough time going into an office where I felt like a lot of people didn't like me, and then going onstage at night. And I had people coming up to me and hugging me and saying, Hey, you know, your joke about child abuse, my dad beat me too. And then I get a hug from a guy that looked like he was in Sons of Anarchy. And I'm like, Hey, this is really spiritually spiritually fulfilling. And so it was a pretty easy decision at the end. Marc Gutman 48:33 So what's funny about brand strategy and advertising. Tamer Kattan 48:38 It's you It's it's the human nature. You know, like, I feel like I said this to one of my friends. And he always asked me about religion. I go, No, we don't know why we're here. It's like we're on level one of an escape room. And instead of working together to figure out how to get to level two, we all just started fighting in the escape room. So I like figuring things out. I like I, I love using my emotional intelligence, especially because I feel like that's something that us men have an it's an underdeveloped thing in us. You know, like, I think women have always been told to, to grab on to intuition. And men have been told that we don't have that. And women grow up with these impossible physical standards. And then men are told things like, boys don't cry. So we have impossible emotional standards. And I think I saw how much that hurt me when I was younger, to not talk about problems to not, it feels. I like being an observer. I think being a good listener makes you a better storyteller. And I love being able to listen so aggressively, to listen aggressively. Until I hear things and see things that other people don't see. Like I in my comedy. The thing that brings me the most joy is not when people laugh. It's when people say oh my god, that's so true. That's my favorite. Marc Gutman 49:58 So speaking of that, do you have Or can you recall a joke and you don't have to do line for line? Maybe it's the kind of the premise that you just love and you think is so insightful, but others don't. Tamer Kattan 50:11 Oh, yeah, I had a, you know what, I love the joke that kind of changes people's minds a little bit and gives them perspective. And so I said, I was in Little Rock, Arkansas, and I'm an Arabic comedian, you know, and Little Rock, Arkansas while Trump was running. And some somebody yelled out, he's Arab. That name is Arab. And I go, Oh, yeah, but you don't be afraid of me. I should be afraid of you. All, because cowboy hats for me are like turbans for you. I'm old, and this room is full of a bunch of cowboy hats. And I go, and let's be honest, he ha is just white people for Allah Akbar. And then they all started laughing. And once I said that, they all started laughing man. And it was it was really nice. And it was it showed the power of comedy, you know? And as a boy, its hooks got me after that. Marc Gutman 51:05 I mean, do you do you face that a lot? Do you face a lot of racism and a lot of people heckling you while you're on stage, because you're ever. Tamer Kattan 51:15 I mean, I'm pretty lucky. I have a pretty high number of laughs per minute. I'm a pretty punchy comic. And I think sometimes that helps you manage hecklers. And too, you know, I was a comic in New York for a long time. And people are pretty vocal in New York. So I'm pretty good at managing hecklers. But the number of people that come up to me after the show, when Trump was running, I got three death threats. And that was shocking. That's the first time that's ever happened. So it was it was scary. It was a little bit scary. When that happened. I didn't, I didn't expect it. But then there were. It also taught me a lot about human beings. You know, like, I thought I really understood America because I worked at these ad agencies in New York and Chicago and Miami and LA. And I'm like, Oh, I know America. And I didn't, until I became a comedian and started going to Little Rock, and and you know, Wichita, Kansas, and, and then I started doing America. But it's, I also realized, I remember going on stage one night and getting booed really badly, because I was introduced as an Arab comedian. And then I thought to myself, you know, and the owner of the club said, Listen, I'm really sorry, we have good people here. We have bad people here. But sometimes we get bad people. And I understand if you don't, if you want to leave early, and I'll pay you for tonight, and I'll I'll feel the other night. And I, he goes, I'll let you think about it. And I said, Okay, and I went home, and I said, No, I'm not, I'm not gonna quit, because that's not right. And I said, I don't like the way I was introduced. So let me manage this. Right. And I remember my grandfather used to say this thing that I had above my desk at my ad agency, which was listening is the cost of being heard. And so I needed to show them that I would, that I listened I needed to show them. And if they think that I'm on their side, then I'm going to be different than the Arab that they perceived. So I told the guy don't say I'm an Arab, just introduced me as a guy from LA. So he did. And when I went up on stage, I said, Hey, this is my first time in Oklahoma, Oklahoma City. I'm on site. This is a really beautiful place. It's really pretty here. And I didn't know because people in LA talk a lot of crap about you guys. Did you guys know that? And they're like, yup, yup. And they started agreeing with me. And I'm like, That's crazy. How could they talk? And this guy said to me, You, if you're gonna go to Oklahoma, you better watch out. They're really racist over there. And I'm like, you mean, they're gonna judge me without even knowing me? And he goes, Yeah, I'm like, wow, you ever been to Oklahoma? And he goes, No. And I'm like, What an asshole. And the whole audience laughed, and they all clap their hands. And at that point, they owed me. I stood up for them when they were the minority. I was in the big city, defending a small town from big city people. So then when I became an Arab in front of them, they started managing themselves. When somebody tried to heckle me, it was another person at a table next to him to say, Hey, man, shut up, let him finish. It was great. And I think I think that's what it means to be a human being. We're parts of multiple tribes and multiple groups. And I think if you if you break the ridiculous stereotypes, people become people again. Marc Gutman 54:17 Now what an amazing example of how to connect with someone that is different from you that might have different beliefs might even be against you upon first first impression and how to bridge that. That's just, I love that story. , Tamer Kattan 54:32 Oh thank you. Marc Gutman 54:33 Yeah, it's it's really great. Thank you for sharing that. I'm a little speechless, which doesn't happen often. timer, where can people learn more about you and your comedy, we're might be able to see you. Tamer Kattan 54:44 Well, until COVID. Right. But you know, I do a lot of zoom shows. Now. My Websites a great place, which is TamerKattan.com. And then I also have a YouTube series with my wife that we do every week. It's sort of a marriage. social experiment. We got married on the day we met. And, and so we do that that comes out every Wednesday. And that's a great place to follow. Follow us on Instagram to Marc Gutman 55:11 really quickly let's talk about that. Like, can you tell that story quickly about like getting married the day you met. That's, that's, that's awesome. Tamer Kattan 55:17 For sure. I mean, when I was a kid, I, I've always loved traveling. But when I didn't have money, I would use the internet to travel, like with videos and pictures and things like that. And so when quarantines started, I really miss traveling. So I found out that Bumble, the dating app had this feature called passport, where you could be in another city. And so I was in Spain. And I didn't think anything of it because it was you know, so far away, but I met this amazing Swedish woman. And we had so much in common, I was blown away and almost frustrated too, because I was like, God, we have all this stuff in common. And she lives 1000s of miles away. And what happened was, because she was so far away, we were almost like playing a game of chicken with honesty, and just being really brutally honest with each other about our flaws. Like even my profile was like, oh, I've been single this long, because I'm selfish. I used to have a drinking problem. I miss on that I basically did the opposite of what everybody else did in their profile. And then she sent me an email back that mimicked what I'd written about all of her flaws, and it became like a game with us. And so then I fell in love. And the laws had changed in Barcelona, and I already had COVID in March, and I had papers saying I had the antibodies. So I had this window to fly to Barcelona. So I flew in. And then when I got there, they changed the law when I was in the air, and they put me in jail in the airport, and I had to spend the night in jail. And she was 500 feet away from me. And we didn't meet and they flew me back to America. And I'm like, I'm not giving up. And then we did a bunch of research and we found out about Gibraltar, just tiny country that's on Spanish soil, that kind of UK property sort of, and they were allowing Americans in and it was also like the Las Vegas of Europe. And so I flew in there we met there, and I brought a ring and asked her to marry me that first time I saw her and she said Yeah, we got married. It's been six months and now we're in Barcelona until COVID zoning we'll figure out what we'll do next. Marc Gutman 57:21 Yeah, and that's an incredible incredible story and I can't wait to start watching your your YouTube show cuz like no, I really curious you set the timer. Yeah, Tamer. I mean, as we come to a close here, I mean, if you ran into that young Tamer, who is Tamer? I'm sorry that Tamer who was like nine years old and kind of figuring things out and obsessed with dungeons and dragons and being a latchkey kid, like, like, if he saw you today, what do you think he'd say, Tamer Kattan 57:51 oh, man, you're so insightful for saying that. Like I always. When people ask me, why did you start doing comedy at 40? I go, I didn't. I started at nine. Like, I'm not doing it for me. I'm doing it for him. You know, like, I think he'd be proud of me. It feels weird to say that, like I complimented myself. I think he would I think he'd be proud of me. I think the older version thinks I'm a silly and immature. But I think the little kid version of me thinks I'm like a male Pippi Longstocking and he digs it. Marc Gutman 58:23 In that is Tamer Kattan could have listened to Tamer stories for hours. And I'm glad he saved his story about marrying his wife. The day he met her till the very end. Tamer story really is one of the American dream that maybe we should be calling it the human dream. Because Tamer's ability to connect and empathize with people, even those who are initially out to get him or condemn him is admirable. And I think at this time in our country, we can all learn a lot from the Egyptian American kid from Los Angeles, who is now living in Spain, telling jokes for a living maybe we should just be a little bit more like Tamer.

Another sura that starts with HaaMeem. The letters H and M. This sura starts and ends with Gods Wisdom and Majesty. Verse 6 let's reflect on this question: (if they deny God and His revelations, what message will they believe in?) that is so true? A question to reflect on! So what do you believe in ? Verse 24. (They say ‘There is only our life in this world: we die, we live, nothing but time destroys us.' ) I see this verse as a reflection on the times we are in Now . It is God not time, it is God not nature/ not the destructing weather / nor the Viruses! So what should we do ? The answer is in verse 36 ( So Praise be to God, Lord of the heavens and earth) . Subhan Allah, Alhamdulilah, Istagfir Allah , Allah Akbar. May Allah bless us All with barakah in our lives to do the best that we can do in our jobs, studies, with our parents husbands/ wives and children. To be the best versions of ourselves , the best humans we can be. All for the sake of Allah. Amen.

Attentato islamico a Nizza: la Sharia è legge in Francia

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6331ATTENTATO ISLAMICO A NIZZA: LA SHARIA E' LEGGE IN FRANCIA di Lorenza FormicolaL'11 settembre di Francia s'è consumato in poche ore. Proprio come a New York. Nella mattina di giovedì 29 ottobre l'islam colpisce a Nizza, Avignone, Gedda e Lione.A Nizza, nella cattedrale di Notre Dame, nella prima mattinata di ieri due donne e un uomo vengono assassinati da un terrorista islamico. In sottofondo sempre la stessa colonna sonora, Allah Akbar. Tutti e tre erano in preghiera quando il maomettano, nell'ordine, prima ha decapitato un'anziana signora, poi si è scagliato su una trentenne con un numero imprecisato di coltellate - morirà poco dopo, dissanguata, dopo aver provato a strisciare fuori la cattedrale - e infine si è accanito sullo storico sacrestano della cattedrale. Tre nuove vittime immolate sull'altare del multiculturalismo e proprio in una chiesa dove di lì a poco si sarebbe dovuto celebrare un altro sacrificio su un altare ben diverso.Del terrorista islamico si hanno generiche informazioni e non ancora perfettamente verificate dagli inquirenti. L'unica certezza è che l'uomo a fine settembre era a Lampedusa, dove era stato messo in quarantena dalle autorità italiane prima di essere lasciato libero: l'unico documento in possesso è quella della Croce Rossa italiana, c'è un nome e una data di nascita che nessuno dà per certi. L'Italia si conferma il ponte senza pedaggio del terrorismo islamico.E mentre nessuno lo ammette, quando tutti piangono lacrime di coccodrillo e la Francia si dimentica persino del nuovo lockdown annunciato da Macron nella serata di mercoledì, ad Avignone, c'è un altro uomo armato di coltello. Sempre al grido Allah Akbar prova ad aggredire due poliziotti in strada. Ma sarà lui stesso a perdere la vita dopo essere stato disarmato. Più o meno negli stessi minuti, ma ad altre latitudini, un uomo accoltella la guardia di sicurezza del consolato francese a Gedda.Nel primo pomeriggio, a Lione, viene fermato un altro islamico armato di coltello: l'arresto evita un'altra tragedia.Tre attentati islamici e uno sventato nel giorno in cui, quest'anno, i maomettani celebrano la nascita del profeta Maometto. La Francia, l'Europa sono in guerra. Il terrorismo islamico l'ha iniziata tempo fa. Ma dirlo è sconveniente. Però alle 4 del pomeriggio Macron finalmente ammette, per la prima volta, che la Francia è "sotto attacco".MA CHI LA STA ATTACCANDO?Non si sa, di sicuro non si tratta del nuovo coronavirus.La chiesa cattolica francese fa suonare le campane a morto in tutte le chiese del Paese alle 15. Il silenzio che segue è commovente. I vescovi uniti scrivono un comunicato in cui chiedono che urgentemente venga fermata la "cancrena". Questo è solo l'ultimo attentato contro il cristianesimo. In Francia ce n'è uno al giorno, ma pochissimi sono i colpevoli e i sacerdoti lo sanno bene. Qualche giovane sacerdote francese, come il noto padre Pierre-Hervé Grosjean, osa scrivere di barbari islamisti.Dal Vaticano il Papa si limita ad un tweet e fa sapere al mondo che «assicura la sua vicinanza alla comunità cattolica di Francia». Qualcuno si domanda se quei morti e la cattedrale insanguinata non sia cosa sua. Non sono i suoi figli? La vaghezza però trova come contraltare la fermezza dell'arcivescovo di Rouen, monsignor Lebrun, che nel 2016 ha visto un suo sacerdote, padre Hamel, morire da martire sempre per mano di un terrorista islamico, e tuona: "Non dobbiamo cedere alla paura. Non dobbiamo chiudere le nostre chiese". A Nizza la cattedrale è blindata per le indagini, ma le campane vengono fatte suonare oltre un'ora. E in serata arriva l'appello spontaneo dei cattolici: si riuniranno davanti alla statua di San Michele nel 5° arrondissement. "Ci sentiamo soli, ma non siamo soli". La stampa e la politica (soprattutto italiana), intanto, parlano di fanatismo, ma per la prima volta si evita l'espressione "disturbato mentale". Ad aprile 2019 Notre Dame a Parigi finiva ingoiata, misteriosamente, dalle fiamme, ad ottobre 2020 a Notre Dame a Nizza i cattolici finiscono decapitati.Erdoğan aveva solo pochi giorni fa chiamato a raccolta, e al boicottaggio, il mondo islamico contro la Francia di Macron, che difende la blasfemia e le vignette ironiche su Maometto, ma sbaglia chi crede che questi attentati siano una risposta all'aspirante sultano.Il problema francese ha radici più profonde e nessuno, oggi, può dire quando finirà la stagione del terrorismo islamista. La progressiva intensificazione delle manifestazioni di terrorismo non sono legate ad un mandante o a una cellula: l'uno ha galvanizzato l'altro nel desiderio atavico di rispondere al jihad chiesto da Allah.PRONTI A COLPIREUn mese fa, il ministro dell'Interno annunciava pubblicamente la presenza di 8000 radicalizzati, liberi, pronti ad attaccare in Francia. Gli "attentati al coltello", che da queste pagine non abbiamo mai smesso di denunciare e che hanno assuefatto i francesi come gli inglesi, erano stati teorizzati dallo stato islamico già 2014, incoraggiando tutti gli adepti che vivevano nelle terre degli infedeli (i cristiani!) ad impugnare coltellacci e a servirsi di automobili come kamikaze contro i crociati. Sempre Nizza era stata teatro di un attentato, il 14 luglio 2016, quando 86 persone vennero uccise in un attacco con camion lanciato sulla folla.La Francia, che pure durante la quarantena aveva dimostrato di essere preda della guerriglia islamica nei quartieri a predominio islamico, quest'estate è stata raggiunta dalla Gran Bretagna. Ad oggi gli inglesi detengono la classifica del Paese più colpito dall'epidemia di crimini da coltello. E saranno sempre tutti squilibrati, ma guarda caso sono sempre squilibrati islamici.In Francia negli ultimi quattro anni sono stati sventati 61 attentati terroristici di matrice islamica. Negli ultimi 24 mesi, più o meno, invece ben 34 sono riusciti. La Francia è a tutti gli effetti una polveriera, complice la politica migratoria incontrollata - tanti dei terroristi sono stati spesso finti richiedenti asilo spacciati per minorenni -, un multiculturalismo osannato e l'incapacità di definire l'islam e le sue caratteristiche.Entro la fine dell'anno verranno scarcerati oltre 500 islamici messi dentro per terrorismo, altri 700 hanno già fatto i bagagli. Non sono entrati come terroristi, ma è stato già certificato dai responsabili delle carceri che si tratta di ex criminali oggi radicalizzati. E chissà quanti altri sfuggono alla casistica.LA SHARIA È GIÀ LEGGEIn Francia esistono corti islamiche, la sharia è già legge (vedi decapitazioni per aver offeso Allah!), alcuni quartieri sono completamente persi, l'ingresso è interdetto alla polizia. L'ex ministro dell'Interno Collomb (dimissionario in protesta contro Macron e la sua ritrosia ad intervenire davvero) parlava di quartier de reconquete républicaine.La Francia, ma poi l'Europa tutta, hanno un problema serissimo, ma si preoccupano di sorridere delle vignette, provocare come alle scuole elementari, ma non dare un nome alle cose che non si combattono se non si definiscono.Il problema francese è l'islam, ma Macron parla ancora di "separatismo" al plurale imputando parte di tante responsabilità anche all'estrema destra, non solo al terrorismo maomettano.Nel frattempo solo ventiquattro ore prima dell'attentato nella cattedrale cattolica, la procura di Parigi annunciava l'avvio di indagini su 30 episodi di apologia del terrorismo e minacce di morte: in tutti i casi si giustificava e incitava a nuovi casi 'Samuel Paty'. Per il ministro dell'Interno, Gérald Darmanin, sono 80 le inchieste aperte in tutta la Francia contro quanti stanno cercando e difendendo l'omicidio del professore. L'attentato era annunciato, sì! Ma non da Erdoğan.Chi oggi si batte il petto, parla di tolleranza, solidarietà e accoglienza, sta continuando a fare il gioco del terrorismo. Indossa la stessa casacca del kamikaze che sogna il paradiso islamico con 72 vergini. Non c'entra niente l'islamofascismo, parola che riecheggia in queste ore e che non vuol dire tecnicamente niente. Gli attentati non si fermeranno e Allah Akbar continuerà a riecheggiare in Europa e in qualsiasi altro angolo del mondo che possa dirsi "non musulmano".Solo i paesi europei, però, potevano pensare di innovare negando la loro gloriosa storia, convinti che la legge e il commercio avrebbero governato il mondo. Il risultato è un fallimento assoluto: i popoli d'Europa sono arrabbiati per il pentimento permanente; le nazioni sono distrutte dal multiculturalismo e tanti stati se ne stanno con le mani legate dall'Ue.Non restano che le contraddizioni, le debolezze, la ridicolaggine del doppio gioco che è diventato il "doppio discorso" per non offendere nessuno. E nel frattempo i morti si moltiplicano. Mentre l'Italia è sempre più vicina ad essere la prossima della lista.Nota di BastaBugie: le chiese bruciate e il sacerdote decapitato nel 2016 fanno capire che la situazione francese è veramente drammatica.

Cách đây 5 năm, ngày 07/01/2015, đã xảy ra vụ tấn công khủng bố vào tòa soạn của tuần báo trào phúng nổi tiếng Charlie Hebdo ở Paris, khiến 12 người chết, trong đó có 2 cảnh sát. Thủ phạm của vụ tấn công, anh em nhà Kouachi, tự nhận thuộc tổ chức al-Qaida ở Yemen, đã bị bắn hạ sau hai ngày lẫn trốn. Năm năm sau vụ tấn công khiến cả thế giới bàng hoàng, nước Pháp vẫn sống dưới mối đe dọa khủng bố, mà nay được thể hiện qua những hình thức khác, ngày càng khó kiểm soát hơn, như vụ tấn công bằng dao tại Villejuif, ngoại ô Paris ngày 03/01/2020. Trong tầm ngắm của Hồi Giáo cực đoan Charlie Hebdo là một tờ báo có lượng độc giả rất giới hạn, vậy thì vì sao Hồi Giáo cực đoan lại căm ghét tờ báo này như vậy ? Để tìm câu trả lời, chúng ta phải trở ngược về tháng 02/2006, khi nhật báo Đan Mạch Jyllands-Posten suýt bị khủng bố tấn công sau khi đăng các tranh biếm họa vẽ đấng tiên tri Mohamed. Để tỏ tình liên đới với đồng nghiệp Đan Mạch, Charlie Hebdo cũng cho đăng các bức biếm họa Mohamed. Những bức biếm họa này ngay lập tức đã gây phản ứng dữ dội từ giới Hồi Giáo tại Pháp. Nhưng ở đất nước của quyền tự do báo chí, số báo nói trên của tuần báo trào phúng bán đắt như tôm tươi : 400 ngàn bản đã đến với độc giả Pháp. Không dừng ở đó, đến năm 2013, Charlie Hebdo xuất bản một số đặc biệt đặt tên là Charia Hebdo ( Charia là luật Hồi Giáo ). Vài ngày sau, một quả bom xăng thiêu rụi trụ sở của tờ báo, khiến toà soạn phải dọn đi. Trang web của tờ báo bị tin tặc tấn công, một tờ báo do al-Qaida tài trợ thậm chí còn treo giá một trong những cộng tác viên của Charlie Hebdo. Nhưng ban biên tập tuần báo trào phúng vẫn kháng cự, cho đến ngày 07/01/2015. Vào lúc 11h20 ngày hôm đó, mặc đồ đen, trùm kín đầu và trang bị súng Kalachnikov, hai anh em Kouachi xông vào tòa soạn Charlie Hebdo nằm trên đường Nicolas Appert, quận 6, Paris. Đầu tiên họ nổ súng vào hai nhân viên bảo trì, giết chết một người. Rồi gặp họa sĩ Coco trong cầu thang, hai kẻ khủng bố bắt cô này làm con tin, buộc cô phải dẫn đến phòng họp của tòa soạn. Và thế là cuộc tàn sát bắt đầu, xóa sổ gần như toàn bộ ban biên tập đang ngồi họp trong phòng, trong đó có tổng biên tập Charb, người bị bắn đầu tiên. Chín người khác bị bắn chết tại đây, trong đó có một cảnh sát được điều động đến để bảo vệ Charb. Là nhân viên cấp cứu và cũng là cây bút của Charlie Hebdo, Patrick Pelloux là một trong những người đầu tiên đến nơi xảy ra khủng bố, lúc đó kể lại giọng còn bàng hoàng: « Thật là khủng khiếp, nhiều người đã chết rồi, vì họ bị giết giống như xử bắn. Nhưng chúng tôi cứu được những người khác và nói chung những người này vào sáng nay tình trạng khá tốt. Tôi đến đây để nói với bạn rằng tờ báo sẽ tiếp tục hoạt động, bởi vì họ đã không thắng và Charb, Cabu, Bernard, Honoré, Elsa, Cabu, Tignous, Wolinsky, Mustafa, Franck, Michel, và viên cảnh sát có nhiệm vụ bảo vệ chúng tôi đã không chết vô ích. Không nên căm thù người Hồi Giáo. Mọi người, mỗi ngày, trước cửa nhà mình, đều phải làm sống mãi các giá trị của nền Cộng Hòa » Sau cuộc thảm sát, hai anh em Kouachi ra khỏi tòa soạn, leo lên xe hơi vừa hô to : « Chúng tôi đã trả thù cho đấng tiên tri Mohamed, chúng tôi đã tiêu diệt Charlie Hebdo !». Đụng đầu một toán cảnh sát đang tuần tra bằng xe đạp, hai kẻ khủng bố nổ súng bắn bị thương một cảnh sát, rồi lạnh lùng kết liễu mạng sống viên cảnh sát này, trước khi leo lên xe tẩu thoát. Sau hai ngày truy lùng gắt gao, cuối cùng cảnh sát mới tìm thấy và tiêu diệt hai anh em Kouachi. Ngay ngày hôm sau, 08/01, một kẻ khủng bố khác, Amedy Coulibaly, tự nhận thuộc tổ chức Nhà nước Hồi Giáo, bắn chết một nữ cảnh sát viên ở Montrouge, ngoại ô Paris, rồi tấn công vào một siêu thị chuyên bán hàng cho người Do Thái, giết chết 4 người, trước khi bị cảnh sát bắn hạ. Cú sốc đối với nước Pháp Tổng thống thời ấy, François Hollande, ngay hôm đó nhìn nhận vụ tấn công vào Charlie Hebdo là một cú sốc đối với nước Pháp: « Nước Pháp hôm nay đang đứng trước một cú sốc, cú sốc của cái mà ta có thể gọi ngay là tấn công khủng bố, vì chắc chắn đúng là như thế, vào một tờ báo đã nhiều lần bị đe dọa và vì thế đang được bảo vệ. Trong những lúc như thế này, chúng ta phải gắn kết thành một khối, chứng tỏ chúng ta là một đất nước biết sát cánh với nhau, biết phản ứng đúng mức, một các kiên quyết, nhưng vẫn duy trì khối đoàn kết. Đó sẽ là thái độ, là quyết tâm của tôi trong những ngày tới, những tuần tới. Tôi sẽ có dịp ngỏ lời với dân Pháp vì chúng ta đang ở vào một giai đoạn cực kỳ khó khăn. Nhiều mưu toan khủng bố đã bị phá vỡ trong những tuần qua. Chúng ta đã biết là nước ta bị đe dọa giống như những nước khác trên thế giới vì chúng ta là quốc gia của tự do. Nay tôi nghĩ đến các nạn nhân, 11 người đã bị giết, 4 người đang trong tình trạng thập tử nhất sinh. Chúng ra nhất quyết tìm ra các thủ phạm và khi nào có thể được, kêu gọi đến sự đoàn kết dân tộc. » Vụ khủng bố Charlie Hebdo đã gây chấn động dư luận không chỉ ở Pháp, mà còn trên toàn thế giới. Trong những ngày sau đó, hàng triệu người đã xuống đường với một dòng chữ duy nhất : « Tôi là Charlie », vừa phẫn nộ lên án khủng bố, vừa mạnh mẽ bảo vệ quyền tự do ngôn luận. Tại Paris, ngày 11/01/2015, tổng thống François Hollande đã quy tụ 50 nguyên thủ quốc gia trong một cuộc tuần hành lịch sử. Đối với các thành viên ban biên tập Charlie Hebdo, 5 năm sau, chấn thương từ cú sốc của vụ tấn công khủng bố này vẫn còn nguyên vẹn. Nhưng Philippe Lançon, một trong những nhà báo thoát chết, nhưng bị thương rất nặng trong vụ khủng bố, khẳng định Charlie sẽ còn sống lâu dài: « Dĩ nhiên đó là một cái bóng vẫn bao phủ lên tờ báo, nhưng công việc đầy rũi ro của chúng tôi đó là đưa tờ báo thoát khỏi cái bóng đó. Chuyện này chúng tôi đã sống qua, và nó đã ảnh hưởng đến Charlie, nhưng nhiệm vụ của tờ báo chính là thoát khỏi chuyện đó, để tiếp tục sống sót, tiếp tục phát triển. Sau những gì đã trải qua, việc tờ báo còn đứng vững đúng là một phép lạ. Những kẻ sát nhân đã không thành công hoàn hoàn. Khi ra khỏi tòa soạn, họ đã hô « Chúng tôi đã giết chết Charlie ». Nhưng họ đã không giết được Charlie, Charie vẫn sống, và tờ báo sẽ sống với những ký ức, với những mâu thuẫn của nó, dù phải chịu những đòn tấn công. Tôi nghĩ tờ báo sẽ còn sống lâu dài. » Đối với nhà xã hội học Michel Wieviorka, vụ tấn công vào tòa soạn Charlie khiến dân Pháp ý thức là họ sẽ phải sống lâu dài với mối đe dọa khủng bố : « Tôi nghĩ rằng với vụ Charlie Hebdo, dân Pháp ý thức rằng họ đã thật sự bước vào thời kỳ của khủng bố toàn cầu và đang đối đầu với những vấn đề, không thật sự mới, nhưng thật sự là họ đang sống với nó. Họ ý thức là đang có một sự thay đổi sâu rộng trên thế giới và ngay trong nước họ. Đây là một cú sốc kinh khủng. Vụ Charlie Hebdo trước hết đã khiến dân Pháp xúc động và có một sự đồng thuận khá rộng rãi, nhưng không phải đồng thuận một trăm phần trăm. Đảng cực hữu không nhất trí với phong trào phản đối hành vi khủng bố. Trong giới Hồi Giáo, đâu đó vẫn có những người tỏ vẻ cảm thông với các hành vi khủng bố. Ngoài hai thành phần xã hội đó, ai cũng đều có chung cảm xúc, đều bác bỏ sự man rợ, đều thấy rằng không thể dùng bạo lực như thế để giải quyết các vấn đề. Nhưng chỉ một thời gian sau, chính trị lại lấn át tất cả. » Khủng bố triền miên Vụ tấn công vào toà soạn Charlie Hebdo đã mở màn cho một đợt khủng bố chưa từng có tại Pháp, mà cao điểm là các vụ tấn công ở Paris và tại sân vận động Stade de France ngày 13/11/2015, khiến 130 người thiệt mạng, nhiều nhất là tại nhà hát Bataclan. Sau vụ khủng bố đẩm máu nhất tại Pháp kể từ sau đệ nhị thế chiến, chính phủ đã phải ban hành tình trạng khẩn cấp, được triển hạn nhiều lần cho đến tháng 11/2017. Từ đó, các vụ tấn công khủng bố tiếp diễn cho đến nay. Đối với cơ quan tình báo Pháp, mối đe dọa khủng bố vẫn rất cao. Vấn đề là khủng bố nay gần như không còn được thể hiện qua những vụ tấn công ngoạn mục nữa, mà nay nước Pháp đang đối đầu với một hình thức khủng bố khó lường trước, vì thủ phạm là những người hành động một mình, thường là những kẻ có tâm thần không ổn định, dễ bị kích động, mà lại ngả theo Hồi Giáo cực đoan. Thay vì dùng súng ống, những người này dùng một loại vũ khí rất đơn giản, đó là dao. Đó là trường hợp của Nathan C., kẻ đã dùng dao đâm chết một người và đâm bị thương hai người khác, trong một công viên ở Villejuif, thị trấn ngoại ô sát Paris, ngày 03/01/2020, trước khi bị cảnh sát bắn chết ngay sau đó. Khi tấn công, hung thủ đã hô « Allah Akbar » ( Thượng đế vĩ đại nhất ). Vụ này nay được giao cho viện công tố quốc gia chống khủng bố điều tra, vì có những dấu hiệu cho thấy đây có thể là một hành vi khủng bố. Một vụ tấn công tương tự có thể suýt nữa đã xảy ra ở thành phố Metz, miền đông nước Pháp, ngày 05/01/2019. Hôm đó, một người tình nghi theo Hồi Giáo cực đoan và cũng bị rối loạn tâm thần đã bị cảnh sát bắn bị thương, do đã cầm dao xông vào cảnh sát vừa hô « Allah Akbar ». Chưa hết, cũng trong ngày 05/01, một phụ nữ mặc niqab, tức trang phục của phụ nữ Hồi Giáo trùm kín từ đầu đến chân, có hành tung bất thường, đã bị bắt giữ vào đầu buổi tối tại ga Austerlitz, trên người có một con dao dài 15 cm và một cuốn kinh Hồi Giáo Coran. Tuy nói với cảnh sát là không hề có ý định làm hại một ai, nhưng bà ta lại không giải thích được tại sao lại mang theo dao. Qua kiểm tra căn cước, người ta biết phụ nữ này nằm trong danh sách những người « mất tích » đang được cảnh sát tư pháp truy tìm. Tất nhiên không thể kết luận ngay đây là một kẻ khủng bố, nhưng rõ ràng là những người như phụ nữ này là mối nguy hiểm tiềm tàng, nếu bị Hồi Giáo cực đoan kích động. Năm năm sau vị tấn công khủng bố vào tòa soạn Charlie Hebdo, những kẻ đồng lõa với hai anh em Kouachi và với Coulibaly, tổng cộng 14 người, sẽ bị đem ra xử trong năm nay, từ ngày 04/05 đến 10/07, trước một tòa đại hình đặc biệt. Thật ra thì chỉ có 11 người ra tòa, vì một bị cáo thì đã trốn sang Syria từ cách đây 5 năm, còn hai người thì được cho là đã chết.

È quanto dichiarato da Lee (il nome è omesso per motivi di sicurezza), fuggito dalla Corea del Nord e oggi impegnato nella missione tra i nordcoreani, al sito specializzato Daily Nk.L'ultimo caso di cui è venuto a conoscenza è quello di «una famiglia cristiana arrestata a Hyesan, nella provincia di Ryanggang, dopo essersi convertita. La madre è sparita e nessuno sa cosa le sia successo, mentre i due figli e la nipote sono stati rilasciati dopo aver pagato 5.000 dollari di multa».PERSECUZIONE IN AUMENTO: ALMENO 50 MILA CRISTIANI NEI GULAGNonostante il padre della patria e "presidente eterno" della Corea del Nord, Kim Il-sung, fosse stato battezzato ed educato come cristiano, la persecuzione religiosa è stata messa in atto dal suo regime totalitario fin dal 1948. Ogni culto, specie quello cristiano, è vietato da allora ma secondo stime credibili nel paese vivono ancora circa 400 mila cristiani.Tutti tengono la loro fede nascosta, salvo qualche eroico caso di esplicita testimonianza, dal momento che basta possedere una Bibbia o essere scoperti a pregare per rischiare l'esecuzione pubblica o la condanna a un campo di lavoro. Gli Stati Uniti sanzionano Pyongyang per violazione della libertà religiosa da 18 anni di fila, ma la situazione è peggiorata negli ultimi otto anni, da quando cioè Kim Jong-un ha preso il potere in seguito alla morte improvvisa del padre Jong-il.Come dichiarato ancora da Lee, «soprattutto quest'anno vengo informato più spesso di cristiani arrestati e detenuti. Le autorità stanno conducendo incursioni a sorpresa nelle case dei cristiani e sembrano avere informazioni molto dettagliate su di loro».Anche i controlli in Cina sono aumentati. Nelle province cinesi più vicine al confine, infatti, operano molti missionari cattolici e chiese protestanti, che offrono riparo a disertori e perseguitati nel tentativo di aiutarli a fuggire principalmente in Corea del Sud.SI PREGA IN CODA AI BAGNINegli ultimi due anni gli omicidi e le estradizioni di missionari, insieme alle deportazioni in Corea del Nord dei disertori, sono aumentati a dismisura. Avere una religione diversa dal culto di Kim Il-sung è un crimine politico e migliaia di persone vengono spedite nei famigerati gulag nordcoreani.Secondo un'indagine della Commissione sulla libertà religiosa internazionale del dipartimento di Stato americano, si trovano attualmente nei gulag tra i 50 mila e i 70 mila cristiani.Nonostante la persecuzione, le comunità cristiane crescono e secondo quanto dichiarato a Daily Nk da una seconda disertrice - scappata, rimpatriata, rinchiusa in un gulag e poi scappata di nuovo - anche nei campi di lavoro aumentano le attività missionarie e gli incontri di preghiera: «Mentre ero rinchiusa nel campo di lavoro, sono rimasta sorpresa dallo scoprire che c'erano molti cristiani. Sono rimasta profondamente commossa dalle preghiere che pronunciavamo insieme in silenzio. Alle cinque del mattino si formano lunghe code ai bagni. Lì i cristiani, mentre sono in fila, pregano. Se le persecuzioni religiose stanno diventando più dure, sempre più persone si rafforzano nella fede. Il miracolo della condivisione del Vangelo avviene anche in questo momento in posti infernali come i campi di lavoro nordcoreani».Nota di BastaBugie: Lorenza Formicola nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Viaggio in Africa dove i cristiani restano nel mirino degli integralisti" parla della drammatica situazione dei cristiani in Uganda, Eritrea e gli altri Paesi dell'immenso continente. Con un'Europa e un Medio Oriente svuotato di fedeli i jihadisti si stanno concentrando sulla pulizia religiosa in Africa.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su Il Giornale il 9 agosto 2019:Il Pew Research Center ha previsto che i cristiani dell'Africa sub sahariana nel 2050 saranno il 38% della popolazione, rispetto al 24% del 2010. Ecco l'Africa, oggi: la casa per il maggior numero di cristiani al mondo. Motivo per cui i jihadisti hanno intrapreso e recentemente accelerato una strenua e attenta pulizia religiosa.Tra i 50 paesi classificati nella World Watch List 2019, 14 (quasi un terzo) si trovano nell'Africa sub-sahariana. Solo nel mese di giugno, in Uganda, una scuola elementare cristiana è stata distrutta in un villaggio musulmano. Prima alcune minacce e poi la demolizione radicale della scuola per figli di convertiti dall'islam al cristianesimo.Intorno al 27 giugno in Burkina Faso l'ennesimo attacco jihadista. I musulmani sono andati, casa per casa, armati di machete e fucili, nel villaggio di Bani, e tra la morte e l'islam hanno imposto ai cristiani di scegliere.In Burkina Faso i cristiani vivono ormai un vero e proprio inferno: decine le vittime della persecuzione islamica solo nelle ultime settimane che hanno visto un susseguirsi terribile di attentati. «Se non si interverrà, il risultato sarà l'eliminazione della presenza cristiana in quest'area».Secondo l'Ufficio delle Nazioni Unite per il coordinamento degli affari umanitari, dall'inizio dell'anno i jihadisti hanno costretto 136 mila persone alla fuga. E sarebbero circa 82 i pastori costretti alla fuga. Nella terza più grande città del Niger, Maradi, è stata data alle fiamme una chiesa. Pare come protesta in seguito all'arresto di un imam di spicco. Erano in 150 i musulmani che hanno commesso l'attentato.La situazione nel resto dell'Africa non è migliore. In Libia i convertiti al cristianesimo affrontano abusi e violenze continue. In Somalia, dove la comunità cristiana raggiunge solo le poche centinaia, c'è per loro solo una vita di violenza e isolamento. In Sudan i cristiani sono quasi 2 milioni. E sono costretti a convivere con le pressioni e le discriminazioni tipiche di un Paese governato come uno stato islamico.Non solo quindi i diritti limitati, ma anche i luoghi di culto demoliti. In Etiopia le chiese sono prese di mira al grido di «Allah Akbar».L'Eritrea, che è stata battezzata come la «Corea del Nord Africa», conta circa 2,5 milioni di cristiani. E molti riempiono le prigioni in condizioni disumane. Quelli che restano, s'incontrano in segreto avendo il governo approvato una legge che chiude le chiese.La palma come Paese peggiore per i cristiani, continua a detenerla la Nigeria. Là, la comunità di fedeli non conosce tregua. Mentre in Egitto le severe restrizioni sulla costruzione e l'agibilità delle chiese, impediscono ai cristiani di riunirsi.Nella Repubblica Centrafricana, la religione principale è il cristianesimo. La popolazione cristiana raggiunge quasi la cifra dei 3.950.000 con 1.260.000 di cattolici. Eppure i cristiani sono comunque oggetto di una persecuzione sempre più violenta negli ultimi anni: intrappolati come sono nel violento conflitto tra Seleka un'alleanza di gruppi musulmani miliziani e gli anti-balaka gruppi cristiani di autodifesa.È in Algeria il numero più alto di chiese chiuse nell'ultimo anno. Nel Paese le leggi che regolano il culto non musulmano vietano la conversione e proibiscono il proselitismo oltre all'espressione pubblica della fede cristiana.In Kenya, dove il cristianesimo è la religione principale, i politici musulmani, su ispirazione dei radicali islamici somali, hanno deciso di eliminare il cristianesimo come recita il rapporto Open Doors 2019 ,«i funzionari spesso chiedono alle chiese di fare cose che non sono in linea con la loro fede, mentre i militanti eseguono brutalmente attacchi suicidi contro chiunque è considerato nemico dell'islam. E grazie alla corruzione nelle agenzie governative, quanti operano contro i cristiani, godono di impunità».In Marocco il cristianesimo è perseguitato da stato e società. Ci sono restrizioni ovunque, restrizioni all'evangelizzazione e persino la confisca di materiale cristiano in lingua araba. In Niger, Ciad e Camerun, gli attentati terroristici hanno provocato una drammatica crisi di rifugiati. In Ruanda, invece, centinaia di chiese vengono chiuse «per inquinamento acustico».Giulio Meotti di recente ha raccontato del messaggio che Boko Haram sta consegnando ai cristiani di Diffa, «hai tre giorni per andare via o sarai ucciso». E da quelle parti l'emorragia è evidente. A Dablo è abbastanza fresca la notizia di sei cattolici uccisi in chiesa. Mentre a Silgadji è stato ucciso un pastore e le processioni cattoliche sono ostaggio di islamici.Il rapporto pubblicato ad aprile 2019 nel Regno Unito, commissionato dal ministro degli Esteri Jeremy Hunt e diretto dal vescovo di Truro, presenta i cristiani come il gruppo più perseguitato al mondo.Una persecuzione che non riguarda l'etnia, la razza o il colore della pelle né degli autori né delle vittime, ma la sola religione. Perché in Africa, vari gruppi e individui islamici stanno attaccando e tentando di annientare i cristiani solo perché credono in Cristo.Il rapporto inglese e i fatti di cronaca denunciano uno stato delle cose che, se non fermato, trasformerà il continente africano in un posto simile al Medio Oriente: dove da terra a maggioranza cristiana, si è arrivati a una minoranza indifesa e agonizzante.

Take your red pills for tonight's show, because there's a lot brutal reality in this week's news. In the studio as always is Tim Wilms Editor of Chief of The Unshackled, David Hiscox Editor of The XYZ, joining us for the first half of the show is James Fox Higgins of the Rational Rise and later on Matty Rose from Matty's Modern Life. More is known about the apparent "suicide" of pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein on Saturday while in custody in New York. He was taken off suicide watch after his first "suicide" attempt on July 23, cameras were not pointed on his jail cell, his cellmate was transferred out Friday night, prison guards falsified log records to cover up they were not watching him, and the autopsy showed broken neck bones more common with strangulation. On Tuesday afternoon Turkish-Cypriot-Australian Mert Ney allegedly ran through the Sydney CBD brandishing a knife screaming "Allah Akbar". He stabbed a sex worker to death before his rampage, before three brave young males apprehended him with a milkcrate he stabbed one woman in the back but she thankfully survived. The left have tried to deny the accused is linked with Islam, they've said that reporting it as an Islamic terror attack is "unhelpful". The pro-democracy Hong Kong protests have continued with Chinese tanks on stand by. Back in Australia our leaders dependent on China for economic prosperity don't know what to do, they were divided by an op-ed by Liberal backbencher Andrew Hastie last week that China poses the greatest threat of our time. It was revealed this week that the new Liberal MP for the Melbourne seat of Chisholm Gladys Liu was a member of two Chinese Communist Party linked trade and commerce group fronts. So was her Labor opponent in the 2019 federal election Jennifer Yang. Former Foreign Minister and Deputy Liberal Leader Julie Bishop was interviewed by Andrew Denton this week. She is now a born again feminist demanding 50% female representation in parliament and now decries the "misogyny" that occurred when Julia Gillard was Prime Minister. CNN host Chris Cuomo from the Italian Cuomo political dynasty flipped out at some street trolls in New York who called him "Fredo" the weak Italian brother from the Godfather films, who Cuomo claimed is the n-word for Italians. President Trump joined in the trolling believing that he had always believed Chris Cuomo was Fredo due to his low ratings and is now selling Fredo Cuomo shirts to fund-raise. Jacinda Ardern decided to interfere in Australia politics claiming we had to answer for climate change in the Pacific islands. 2GB's Alan Jones said Scott Morrison should put a sock down her throat. That has created mass outrage on social media with it alleged that Alan is again inciting violence against a female public figure. The stock market dropped 3% in the United States and Australia, prompting fears of a global recession. This has been speculated due to sluggish wages growth, the housing bubble near bursting and the volatility of the current global trade climate.
