Phil Allcock (Associate Minister), Femi Kalejaiye (Evangelism Lead), Leah Thomas – Guest EventHonest Questions:
If you're looking for a podcast episode that moves beyond surface-level talk and gets into the heart of why environmental justice matters, this episode of The Unfolding: Presented by The Loveland Foundation Podcast is worth your time.Host Rachel Keener sits down with Leah Thomas — known to many as Green Girl — an environmental activist and the voice behind the term intersectional environmentalist. Leah opens up about her path from growing up in Missouri to becoming a leading voice in the sustainability space, tracing how something as personal as her natural hair journey first got her thinking about what sustainability really means.But this isn't just about recycling or climate stats. Leah draws powerful connections between environmental issues and social and racial justice, explaining why true sustainability has to include communities that have long been left out of the conversation — especially Black communities. She shares how she builds spaces of care and creativity, like her Crafting Club, where people can come together, learn to make everyday items, and support one another.This episode doesn't fall into the trap of focusing only on crisis and catastrophe. Instead, Leah talks about the joy and healing that can come from reconnecting with the earth, caring for our mental health, and building community-based solutions. It's a conversation that offers hope without ignoring hard truths — and a reminder that the future can look different if we all understand and honor our connection to the planet.If you want to feel inspired and grounded at the same time, give this episode a listen.More about Leah Thomas @GreenGirlLeah:Leah is a celebrated environmentalist based in Los Angeles, CA.

According to 2023 Pew Research, nearly half of social media users have been politically active on their platforms of choice in the last year. In an era when Instagram, TikTok, and the app formerly known as Twitter aren't just venues for brunch pics and cat memes but have turned into sites for collective action and grassroots organizing, social media activism has become a powerful tool... and a major source of internal conflict. Is engaging in Instagram activism actually effective, or does it just create the illusion of impact? How much of it is just performative, and is performativity always bad? And what about the pressure? If we post, are we overbearing? If we don't, are we complicit? To help untangle these thought spirals, host Amanda Montell (@amanda_montell) sits down with Leah Thomas (@greengirlleah), an environmental author and creator who has built a massive platform for environmental justice online. Together, they discuss the complexities of social media activism, how "spiritually bankrupt" the space has become, and how we can engage meaningfully—without losing our peace in the process.

"So I think the first step is definitely awareness. I know when I was the only Black student in my environmental science program, I didn't quite understand why I really wanted to focus on the environmental injustices that were going on in my neighborhood. Or the concept of racial justice was always kind of intertwined with my environmental advocacy. So it's something that I want other communities of color to understand that that's okay, that you can show up to this field and also have empathy for your own community and that you don't need to separate your identity from your environmental practice. And including your cultural background can actually enhance the work that you do because I think it's such a beautiful thing that we all have different identity aspects, whether that's religion, race, gender, etc.So I think that's the first step, making sure that representation is there so all people can see themselves reflected in environmental education and feel empowered to know that they belong and they can take their identity with them and that enhances their environmental practice. And secondly, through The Intersectional Environmentalist Platform, we love to platform students who are working on climate justice research and share it through kind of untraditional means. So they might not be published in a scientific paper, but it's something they can share amongst their peers in our community of about half a million people, etc. So it's another way for them to share their research at the intersection of identity and environmentalism with more people. And that's something I really enjoy with our work, just letting people know that, yeah, your work is important, even if it's not published in a scientific paper. There is a really big community of people out there who are interested in learning and might even relate to that research."Leah Thomas is an intersectional environmental activist and eco-communicator based in Southern California.

Con una trayectoria notable en la psicología clínica, el Dr. Miguel Vázquez se destaca como un referente en la comprensión y tratamiento de la diversidad de género y el abuso de sustancias. Reconocido como Psicólogo del Año en 2015, su experiencia se ha cimentado en investigaciones presentadas en múltiples rincones del mundo, desde México hasta Sudáfrica y España. Además, es co-fundador y Director Ejecutivo de True Self Foundation, así como co-fundador de PsychConnection PR, una empresa pionera en la integración de tecnología en servicios psicológicos.Una faceta crucial de su labor ha sido su papel como editor en textos que abordan temas esenciales para la comunidad transgénero y no binaria. Su conocimiento y compromiso han contribuido significativamente a la comprensión de la diversidad de género, un término que engloba la multiplicidad de identidades de género que existen más allá de la binariedad tradicional.La diversidad de género abarca una amplia gama de identidades que van más allá de lo masculino y femenino, incluyendo personas intersexuales. Representando alrededor del 1.7% de la población, estas identidades desafían las nociones convencionales y merecen ser reconocidas y respetadas.En cuanto a temas cruciales, como la anorexia frente al cambio de género, surge una pregunta fundamental: ¿por qué se considera un trastorno uno y no el otro? Esta disparidad plantea debates sobre la madurez de niños y niñas para tomar decisiones relacionadas con su identidad de género, así como la importancia de comprender los pronombres y respetar la autodeterminación de cada individuo.Desde la perspectiva del Dr. Vázquez, el proceso correcto implica un enfoque compasivo y respetuoso que permita a cada persona explorar su identidad de género sin juicios ni presiones externas. También aborda la noción de perspectiva de género, cuestionando la idea de que todos los niños son automáticamente asignados al género masculino hasta que se demuestre lo contrario.Además, el Dr. Vázquez reflexiona sobre la posibilidad de que algunas personas puedan experimentar confusiones en su identidad sexual como resultado de traumas pasados. Asimismo, analiza la resistencia y oposición que enfrenta el movimiento transgénero, ejemplificando con casos controversiales como Leah Thomas frente a figuras como Shaquille O'Neal y Mike Tyson.El impacto del racismo y la discriminación hacia la comunidad LGBT+ se analiza desde la perspectiva del Dr. Vázquez, explorando cuál de estos problemas afecta más a la sociedad actual. También se discute la libertad de expresión en relación con el arte y el humor, donde se cuestiona el derecho de los artistas trans a expresarse versus el debate en torno a comediantes como Dave Chappelle.El Dr. Miguel Vázquez, con su experiencia y dedicación, continúa abriendo caminos hacia una comprensión más amplia y respetuosa de la diversidad de género, contribuyendo a un mundo más inclusivo y empático.Episodio traído a ustedes por @drawisco.

"Intersectional Environmentalism to me means prioritizing social justice in environmental movements and really thinking about what communities are most impacted by different environmental injustices. So, for example, in the United States, a lot of communities of color, Black, Indigenous communities, and also lower-income communities struggle with things like unclean air and unclean water, and those are environmental injustices. So I thought it was important to have an intersectional approach to environmental advocacy that doesn't ignore these things and these intersections of identity, but explores them to make sure that every community, especially those most impacted by environmental injustices, no longer are. And I wanted to write a really accessible introduction that was targeted at school kids or anyone who wants to learn more."Leah Thomas is an intersectional environmental activist and eco-communicator based in Southern California.

"Intersectional Environmentalism to me means prioritizing social justice in environmental movements and really thinking about what communities are most impacted by different environmental injustices. So, for example, in the United States, a lot of communities of color, Black, Indigenous communities, and also lower-income communities struggle with things like unclean air and unclean water, and those are environmental injustices. So I thought it was important to have an intersectional approach to environmental advocacy that doesn't ignore these things and these intersections of identity, but explores them to make sure that every community, especially those most impacted by environmental injustices, no longer are. And I wanted to write a really accessible introduction that was targeted at school kids or anyone who wants to learn more."Leah Thomas is an intersectional environmental activist and eco-communicator based in Southern California.

"Learning about environmentalism in school, you look at specific figures like John Muir, etc. And I wanted people to also have that association when it came to the environmental justice movement because I think sometimes that really is a helpful learning tool for students.So in particular, Hazel M. Johnson, I'm so fascinated by her because she's often not really written about in environmental textbooks at all. She was just a woman in Chicago who had no environmental experience, but she started realizing that a lot of people in her community, including her husband, were getting all sorts of forms of cancers and other heart diseases and things like that at what she suspected were alarming rates. So when she investigated, she found that her neighborhood was built on top of toxic waste and other things, and she defined this term called a toxic doughnut that her community and so many other communities that were similar to hers that were lower income and primarily Black neighborhoods that were formerly redlined were surrounded by a toxic doughnut of waste, of landfills, highways running through their neighborhoods, and sometimes even buried radioactive waste, etc.So she was one of the first people who really made a stir about this, and I think something that's really cool in her work, and then also Dr. Robert Bullard, to formalize that research or that hunch that she had and produced the first study on toxic waste and race and really made the field of environmental justice is that they also were really just faith-based people that spoke about this amongst their churches.And I think again, that's something that's really cool because in the environmental or scientific community, sometimes people do try to separate faith advocacy from science. However, these are people who were mobilizing in their churches and talking about it in their sermons and seeing how they could transform their communities to be better for people and the planet.So I think it's just a great story, and I really want people to know the names of people like Hazel Johnson and Dr. Robert Bullard just like they know the names of people like John Muir because they've done such a beautiful job, and I want their legacies to be remembered."Leah Thomas is an intersectional environmental activist and eco-communicator based in Southern California.

"So I think the first step is definitely awareness. I know when I was the only Black student in my environmental science program, I didn't quite understand why I really wanted to focus on the environmental injustices that were going on in my neighborhood. Or the concept of racial justice was always kind of intertwined with my environmental advocacy. So it's something that I want other communities of color to understand that that's okay, that you can show up to this field and also have empathy for your own community and that you don't need to separate your identity from your environmental practice. And including your cultural background can actually enhance the work that you do because I think it's such a beautiful thing that we all have different identity aspects, whether that's religion, race, gender, etc.So I think that's the first step, making sure that representation is there so all people can see themselves reflected in environmental education and feel empowered to know that they belong and they can take their identity with them and that enhances their environmental practice. And secondly, through The Intersectional Environmentalist Platform, we love to platform students who are working on climate justice research and share it through kind of untraditional means. So they might not be published in a scientific paper, but it's something they can share amongst their peers in our community of about half a million people, etc. So it's another way for them to share their research at the intersection of identity and environmentalism with more people. And that's something I really enjoy with our work, just letting people know that, yeah, your work is important, even if it's not published in a scientific paper. There is a really big community of people out there who are interested in learning and might even relate to that research."Leah Thomas is an intersectional environmental activist and eco-communicator based in Southern California.

On today's episode, we are going to discuss some pretty crazy current events, starting with the North American Grappling Association, also known as NAGA, which is a very well known jiu jitsu Competitive platform for people like myself who basically are, uh, What they're under fire for was the fact that there was a woman Not a woman, a man pretending to be a woman wearing woman face who went and competed against actual women in a grappling competition, a martial arts, a, uh, you know, a literal fight and one, obviously, because It's a man, spoiler alert, uh, so I can actually speak to that. I'm a purple belt in jiu jitsu myself, I've been practicing since 2012. So, we will get into that and why it's so crazy. But, positive note, silver lining here, is that Naga came out and made a statement saying this will never happen again. And they outlined the reasons why and how they're going to ensure that that happens. So, I am... proud of you, Naga. Thank you so much for making it so that I don't have to go compete at other organizations and boycott your shit because I would have. Now, the next thing that we're going to talk about is not too often that two of the things I'm most able to speak to come together and intersect into this platform. Like usually, the things I'm talking about, yeah, I've done a lot of research on them. And I try to give my most non biased opinion on them. But When it comes to two of these things, like jiu jitsu and hockey, I actually have... Much more of an expert opinion than most people. So, uh, hockey, there was a situation that happened in the European hockey league, which was a horrific incident. Now this guy, um, Adam Johnson, I believe it was basically was skating across the ice, had a guy, um, who basically ran into another guy, clipped his leg, his leg went up and sliced his neck. And he ended up dying, which is horrific. It's terrible. Um, It's, it's horrific to see, uh, so we'll get into that and why there's a lot of people, like, a lot of large conservative influencers coming out acting like they're experts in hockey now who are saying, like, some horrific things about the guy who did this, saying that he did it on purpose, that it was murder and this and that, and so we'll talk about that because I don't think that was the case. I watched the footage. Again, played hockey for 18 years, um, very high level hockey, and, uh, I'll give you a little bit of that background, but we'll jump into that. After that, we will get into the next current event, which is about Matthew Perry from Friends Dying. Which is again, terrible. Not trying to start your day off like this. If you're listening to this in the morning, I'll put some positive spins on it for you. Sprinkle some, uh, some, I don't know, some, some, some, some positivity into your day throughout this But there's some weird little conspiracy things that people have pointed out about this that we will talk about as well now, obviously respected guys death and all of that. But there's some shady shit. And we'll get into it. After that, we're going to jump Back into the Israel and Palestine conflict with some stuff coming out of there, including a conversation by Netanyahu, where he says, this is everybody's war. This isn't just my war. This is all of you, because if you don't stop this now and give me your tax money, it's going to come to your doorstep. Tomorrow. So we'll look at that as well as his son skating the essential kind of the draft that's going on over there Where they called all these reservists we'll also discuss the un general assembly Asking for a gaza resolution calling for an immediate and sustained humanitarian truce in which there was only 14 countries who denied it out of almost 140 120 Who agreed with it and 45 who abstained? But guess who was in those 14 countries? Hmm. The United States of America. So we'll look at why that might've been. And then we'll talk about the information blackout, the cutting off of the internet in Gaza and why that might be as well as Mr. Elon Musk coming in with Starlink to save the day and Israel saying there might blow up his satellites or some shit like that. So all of that more. But first I need you to hit that subscribe button, leave a five star review. If this is your first time here today, I appreciate you. You were awesome.

I don't care what it is. Tell me your favorite recipe for Thanksgiving. Who cares? Just write something nice. All right, and without further ado, let's jump into it. The Addams Archive All right, let's jump into it on the very first article that we're going to talk about today is going to be the North American Grappling Association had a transgender man, woman. Man, man, woman, who a man who thought they were a woman who competed in the women's bracket in jiu jitsu now This is horrible out of all the sports that we've talked about whether it be Leah Thomas with swimming or the dudes that were dominating women's Sprints to I don't know all of the crazy things that were going on even chess tournaments like guys were getting in the number insert crazy, ridiculously high ranked person here. And then they went into chess and just obliterated women in chess. It's like, just let the women do their thing, dude, what's wrong with you? Anyways, this is probably one of the worst of them outside of MMA, right? There was a guy who was sitting there gloating on social media, like I need to pull up the posts of this. Because this guy When in, as a biological man dominated these women, I would actually really be interested to see some of the footage because they would have been just amazing if one of these women almost had was able to, because there's some, uh, like I said, so let me give you my background. I've, I've practiced jujitsu since 2012 when I was in the military, there was a sergeant who posted a poster on the wall. And it was a competition that was happening on base at my air traffic control, uh, tech training that I was doing in the air force. And so when I saw that I was like, super interested at the time I had watched, you know, I watched a little bit of Joe Rogan and was really interested in Eddie Bravo and watch some jujitsu at the time, liked the MMA culture. Wrestled a little bit in high school, but like wasn't super good or anything, gotten a lot of fights in hockey. And so I thought I was tough. And so I went to this jujitsu competition with a couple of my friends that was, uh, at the base gym in like a back room where they had all these mats laid out. And I go up to the guy who was staff Sergeant Hawk, shout out to staff Sergeant Hawk. And he's like. You know, I was pretty good shape at the time. I was lifting a lot. All I had to do was lift in the outside of tech training. And so I went up to Sergeant Hawk to sign up and he's like, Hey, man, how you doing? And shook my hand is super nice guy. Love staff Sergeant Hawk. And he basically like looked me up and down. I was like, so you have any training you ever done any wrestling, anything like that. And I told him I did a little bit in high school, maybe two or three years. I wasn't really good or anything, but you know, so he ended up putting me in the advanced bracket. There was a beginner's bracket and an advanced bracket, and maybe there was six, seven guys in each bracket. And just because I had watched some Jiu Jitsu YouTube footage and knew a little bit about every Eddie Bravo and did a little bit of wrestling, I ended up actually winning the advanced bracket. That I had no business being in, uh, but really, to be fair, in 2012, like nobody really knew about Jiu Jitsu. So, um, I ended up winning the bracket, won the tournament, got my very first gi from that tournament. And from then on, I started training, uh, under Staff Sergeant Hawk and out of Dixon's dungeon, which was under the John Dixon in Biloxi, Mississippi, who was fought in the very first pride fights. I actually used to run like a mile and a half, two miles every single day. from base to Dixon's Dungeon right outside of Biloxi, Mississippi. And so, I know a little bit about Jiu Jitsu. I still currently train. I did a tournament, uh, a competition like three months ago. And, uh, it wasn't a Naga tournament. It was a Grappling Industries tournament. Um, but I'm active. I train several times a week. I compete jiu jitsu is like, that's my hobby. That's what I do. That's my thing. So I know a little bit about this shit, right? So when it comes to like a man doing jiu jitsu with a woman, there's a certain level of like, respect that you go into and being you know, in any gym, you're going to roll with women. decently consistently, right? And there's such an obvious disparity in strength. Now, that's not to say that there's not some women out there that will just kick the shit out of most men. And by most men, I even mean men who train jujitsu. Like there's a there's real high level Jiu Jitsu black belt females who will just fuck up a guy even if they train consistently like I've gone with some girls who are just like, you know, would definitely like black belt females that are high level competitors will definitely, I've definitely gone with some women who could Like, very likely beat me in jujitsu, maybe not like, you know, a hundred percent, but like, there's, this is nothing against women's jujitsu. There's some bad ass females out there right now who would just trash me. Um, so when we talk about this, it's like, The way the jiu jitsu tournaments work is there's, you know, there's, especially if you're talking no gi, which is what this would look like, there's like gi, which is where you wear the kimono kind of looking thing, and then there's no gi. No gi is where you kind of just wear shorts and a t shirt, it looks a lot more like wrestling, that kind of deal, so it's just straight grappling. This was no gi. And so when you talk about no gi, usually it's not specifically belt based, where there's like white belt, blue belt, purple belt, brown belt, black belt. In no gi, it's beginner bracket. Intermediate bracket and advanced and beginner is like, you've been doing it for one to two years. Intermediate is you've been doing it for like two to five years, six years, seven years and advanced bracket is like you're a black belt or a brown belt. Um, so I'm somewhere in between there. I'm in the intermediate bracket. As a purple belt, you know, like I said, I started training in 2012 fell off for a little bit, started training back about five, six years ago, been training consistently ever since. Um, but when we're talking about male against female, there's such a, it's astounding how much of a difference when it comes to size, strength, um, agility, like, and, and there's a reason that there's brackets, right? Like for a, and, and, and so in the area that I live in, there's several prominent gyms. One of the prominent gyms that I don't train at, there is a. There is a transgender, uh, man, woman, guy who, male, who is identifying as a woman who is just the biggest, most jacked person you've ever seen in your life. And that individual, like all respect to them, competes, I'm pretty sure, in the male bracket because it would just be so unbelievably unfair. They are just, just jacked. Like, so, this, this situation to me is just such, so indicative of where we are as a culture that this even was able to slip in under the radar. Now, Naga came out because there was such an immense amount of pushback as a result of this. Naga came out and made a statement. And here is... That statement that I'm going to pull up for you. Just give me one second while I do. And Naga said... Let's see if I can... Drag this over to my screen here. All right. So Naga statement around this was, I am Kip Kolar, president of Naga. And I would like to address the controversial issue of transgender athletes competing in Naga events, decisions that involve conflicting rights and needs between different groups are inherently difficult. That said, maintaining fairness for female athletes in our paramount is our paramount priority due to the legacy effects of being. Born male through puberty in parallel with the policy of FINA, the world governing body for swimming, world rugby, and numerous other global sports organizations, male to female transgender athletes who have gone through male puberty are excluded from competing in the female division at Naga events. This position is of course, even more important given the heightened. Potential for injury when grappling. All right. Now, let me read the rest of that for you that I'll pull up from my phone here. So we don't have to mess with this. And it says, cause I reposted this on my story and Naga actually liked it. So again, shout out to Naga. It says, Implementing this policy poses challenges. The registration system used by most grappling events, including Naga, SmoothComp, unfortunately only allows users to choose between male and female genders when registering. It does not provide an option to register as transgender. Ideally, there should be an option in the registration process to declare yourself as transgender. Transgender. We have requested that this change be made in short order. We are a dish. We are adding additional text to the event and rules page of our website, which I'll show you in a second here because they've already done so. And our smooth comp event pages to help inform transgender females which division they need to enter. We feel these additional steps will help to make sure all competitors are in their correct division. If a competitor is discovered to be in an incorrect division, they will be contacted and provided with the option to move to the correct division Or receive a refund just as we do. If there, we were notified that a D one wrestler was in the beginner division. Yeah, because that D one register, uh, D one athlete, uh, wrestler would just smash every single white belt in the division. Now this says moving forward, we will be guided by the science around male advantage and physical performance. Good on them for using the word science. Which will inevitably develop the coming over the coming years as further evidence becomes available. We will review our position, but we believe the integrity of the female category and athletics is one of the most as is the most of the most profound importance. Thank you. Kip Kohler, President, North American Grappling Association. On Naga for making sure that women don't just get absolutely destroyed now like when we're talking about sports when we're talking about swimming it doesn't it's not a matter of life and death right everybody wants to look at you just do it like there's all the there's this category of people with jujitsu is like oh it's not a fight it's not a fight It's a fight. Like this is not, this is not a regular sport because if there is not a ref intervening, when somebody is choking you unconscious and you're tapping and they decide to just keep that choke, what happens you die that you go to sleep and you don't wake up. What happens when there's no ref to intervene when you are in an arm bar and somebody is ripping your limb apart and they shatter your arm or your knee or your shoulder, like. It is absolutely a fight. Like when we talk about hockey, yes, it's a sport. The end result of hockey is a goal, right? Is a winning position within the overall game. It's a game. This is a sport. When we talk about football, the overall win is based on a scoreboard. Right. But when if there is not a ref to intervene, especially when you talk about like Nogi submission only grappling, the only outcome if there is no ref is essentially death. So it's absolutely a fight, right? Like there's no, there's no logical argument to me that Jiu Jitsu is not fighting. Sure. It's fighting without punches just as much as boxing is fighting without submissions. Right. There's only one, then there's only one category that you can call fighting in this MMA. And even at that case, you can't bite each other. You can't hit them in the balls. You can't do all this. You can't even go from a six to 12 elbow strike. So it's like, oh, is that not a fight now either? It's, it's such a silly argument. So anyways, I digress. The idea is that when you go into a fight, it is absolutely unfair for a man to fight a woman based on. biology. We all know that by now, right? When we go even like, even in sports like swimming and running, we've decided that it's unfair. So when you talk about a actual combat sport, where the there is actual consequences where you are going to be choked, unconscious. Or have your knee ripped apart, or your shoulder, or your arms, or your, like, ankle. Like, there's so much that can go wrong here. There's a reason there's weight categories. There's a reason there's male and female categories. There's a reason there's belt categories. You have to maintain the safety of this. And to not do so is absolutely, like, it would be horrific. To not make this an egregious act that is completely condemned by NAGA. It would set such a precedence in the grappling world. And so I am so happy that NAGA spoke out about this. You know you'd never see this in like the larger organizations like ADCC or WNO or like who's number one or anything on flow grappling that you would see. So, to know that There's, there's, there's barely, there's only a few safe communities and it happens to be like the martial arts community is absolutely one of those communities that would just never let this happen. So good on Naga, happy to be a part of a industry, a sport, a hobby, a, a passion that would not allow women to just get absolutely trampled by men because they feel a little. Demasculated today. Alright, so, there's that. Pretty crazy. Glad Naga spoke out about it. Next up is going to be that... So, there was a situation. It was a guy named Adam Johnson. Who recently passed away just over the weekend now. He was a 29 year old hockey player for the Nottingham Panthers. He originally played in the NHL. Um, I've actually been familiar with his name and I, you know, I was looking at his, um, prospect I forget the name of it, but it's like hockey prospects is where you can look up a lot of guys who played where, you know, like growing up. So let's, let's talk, just talk real quickly about my background with hockey. So I grew up playing hockey since I was three years old. I am in an area, a state that is a very prominent hockey state. I played at a very high level up until I was 18 years old, right before I went in the military, um, I went to play, uh, a, in a junior's league, and the day before I was flying out to, uh, a team in Texas, uh, I shattered or destroyed my ACL on a stupid little, uh, basketball game. So, um. Retour my ACL and or in meniscus the day before I was supposed to fly to Texas to go to the main camp for the team that I was going to play for. Um, so again, I played triple A hockey in Michigan, um, all, you know, growing up, played since I was three years old, have a very long standing background playing hockey three, five, six, seven times a week. I was out. Whether it was at the rink, whether it was behind my house on the canal, um, during the winter in Michigan grew up from the time that I was little. The only thing I ever wanted to do was play in the NHL. All right. And I was pretty fucking good. All right. I played for a very, very well known triple a team here in Michigan. You know, one of the best teams in the world. Um, I'm well versed, I'm way better at hockey than I was at jiu jitsu, starting off, so if that tells you anything, right? Even especially if you wanted to like list out the priority of people in the world. So, my opinion on hockey actually has some merit, right? Now, we had all of these conservative influencers, whether it was DC Drano, whether it was, uh, the, the, um, Tick tocks of, or liberals of tick tock, whether it was end wokeness, whether it was, uh, Robert star bucks or whatever his name is, all of these conservative influencers seem to have a very vehement, very serious opinion about this situation that happened in the ECHL, which is the European hockey league. And so this guy, Adam Johnson, again, played in the NHL, played for the Pittsburgh Penguins. For some time in the EIHL, I'm sorry, not the ECHL, the EIHL for the Nottingham Panthers, and let's read this article. It says Adam Johnson, a 29 year old hockey player for the Nottingham Panthers, died in a tragic freak accident on the ice rink while playing against the Sheffield Steelers on Saturday in the UK. Johnson, who played for the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins before transferring to the elite ice hockey league in August, suffering, suffered a fatal neck injury when he collided with a player from the opposing team midway through the second period. The BBC reports that the injury was reportedly caused by a split or escape blade to the neck. Now, one thing I'd like to point out about this is that the people who were posting this, whether it was, uh, the TikToks or liberals of TikTok, or whether it was, um, DC underscore Drano, just never We're so tone deaf to the situation where it was so disgusting and so gross the way that DC Underscore Drano and liberals of tick tock posted about this guy Dying like they literally slapped the video DC Drano did slapped the video at the very beginning of his Uh, his reels or his, his post and like, it was like, Oh, graphic warning. It's like, yeah, dude, don't post the guy fucking bleeding out on the ice, spilling blood all over the ice. If you respect them, you don't respect them. This dude was just looking for clicks. Drano went about this post. So. They go on there, and, and, and, there's, here's the video here, and I'll, I'll, I, I don't even like watching this shit personally, like, it doesn't, I just don't. Um, but to me, you know, I'll break it down for you, I'm not gonna go very much past it, where you, you literally see him, like, holding his neck as blood is just pouring out of it onto the white ice. I, I, it's just not my thing, dude, like, I'll watch the beginning of it with you and break it down for you. So. Nope, that wasn't it. So they're probably not even going to show it on this post here, but DC Drano did and so I'll kind of walk you through it as I pull it up on my phone. And so DC Drano posted this along with like six or seven other posts that were related to this from other conservative type of influencers. So the guy goes across the ice. There's a two on two going down past the red line right past the blue line and right as he goes down the ice. Uh. The one guy clips legs with one of the other players that are next to him as he goes to to hit him. So there's, um, he misses the, the, like close to the first guy. And sorry, I keep kind of messing this up here on this. I'm watching it. Um, so two guys going on a two on two, the first guy crosses starting to cross at the blue line. And the defenseman goes over and crosses paths with one guy to hit the guy with the park, right as they cross the blue line, which was it. It looked to me like offsides to begin with. Not sure why that wasn't offsides and the ref calls it off. But the, the defenseman, the offside defenseman, um, crosses right across the blue line past the guy that he's next to on the two on two. And let me see if I can, I'm going to actually even just like record this and watch it. Let's see if I can break it down to a little bit of a slower pace. Okay. So I just recorded that. I'm going to pull it over and watch it from there. Cause then I can go frame by frame. So, two on two, two guys in red, they just cross over the red line, not sure why that wasn't off sides, because the guy in white in front of the guy with the puck crosses over the blue line, it looks like, before him, um, he goes to try and, uh, like skate down the blue line as the defenseman comes over and crosses. And he runs what looks like into, let me see if I can zoom in. He actually doesn't make much contact with him, but cross pass with him connects with the first forward. There's not a ton of contact, but the guy's leg comes straight up and gets the forward right in the neck. And when he does this, the guy goes straight to the ice, grabs his neck. And that's where I'm going to stop it. So all of these conservative influencers making these claims that this was intentional, that it was murder, that it was manslaughter, that it was whatever, you have to understand how fast a hockey game is actually Right. So when DC Drano gets on here and he says Adam Johnson was an NHL player who was killed while playing in England at the age of 29, another player's blade hit his neck, slicing an artery media called the incident, a freak accident, but replays show Matt Peck grave intentionally. So I just cannot see an angle here, right? And I don't think there was a ton of contact. Like originally when I looked at this, it was pretty far away. So when I break it down and go slower and zoom in on that, there's not a ton of contact even despite that. I just don't see any single scenario. If you're a player, he could have easily hip checked him. He could have easily just laid his hips out and stopped him like that. He's not gonna fucking karate kick him in the throat with his skate. I wish I could show you guys what I'm looking at here and maybe let me see if I can send this but anyways, there's just no way this was an intentional kick to the throat. I just don't see it. There's not nearly as much contact as I would have thought there was originally, and I'm going back and forth watching this kick. I just don't see it. I don't see how any situation would have caused this to be intentional. So what you're seeing is a bunch of people who don't play hockey, who don't understand how fast the game moves, who don't realize that these split microsecond decisions are the difference between your leg being Three inches lower or three inches higher or you clipping this guy's hip ends up with your it just the game moves so fast. It's the fastest game there is there's no other sport that moves faster than hockey. So you get all these people who don't know how the actual sport works. Or, or even understand the logistics of the game coming out, saying that this is murder, right? Coming out saying that this is manslaughter. And it's it to me, frankly, that wasn't even the grossest part. The grossest part was you have all these people. And when you look at like the libs of tick tock post on this, and now this I will, I will share because this was just like the most egregious thing was libs of tick tock posted this, uh, This meme that they created that said where is it? They must have taken it down. They must have taken it down. Yeah libs of tick tock took that posted down because it was so Disgusting they posted the meme of Petgrave with his leg up saying that what was it was something around along the lines of like Um, that kick wasn't dirty, the kick, and then it had him with his leg straight out and his blade sticking straight up. So they actually deleted it because it was so disgusting. Now I posted on that and said, just talked about my experience in hockey and said that like, this is just disgusting how, you know, it's absolutely not intentional. And like, let's see if that one even went away. Yeah. Wow. Dang. Who'd have thought that lives of tick tock would, would have taken that down because they realized how disgusting they were for posting that gross meme about this dude who just got his throat slit that you saw bleed out in front of the world on the ice. And you're posting a meme with his leg up saying the kick like, Oh, really? He is that. Is that. That's entertainment to you. That's what the people that you, your, your target audience want to see. Wow. At least they took it. At least they had the decency to take it down. Because that to me was probably the most disgusting was. One was, you know, DC Drano actually posting it was disgusting. But them actually, actually, uh, you know, having a silly, gross meme about it was probably the worst thing. So. I don't think it was intentional. I think things happened at a very, very quick pace in hockey. I think that there's a hundred different reasons that that happened, none of which had to do with premeditated or purposeful manslaughter. Okay, and anybody who tells you differently just doesn't understand the sport of hockey, has never touched ice, never played at a high level, never, never found themselves crossing the ice to try and hit some guy crossing the blue line at that pace, like you just, you just don't get it. Um, so. I digress. Let's move on. That to me was very disgusting. And the more that like I'm finding myself distancing myself more and more from like, as we get post COVID, the straight, strict, conservative influencers, because the things that they're keep doing, whether it's about Israel versus Palestine, whether it's about this here that we're seeing, like, I'm just starting to see some of the clickbait, some of the grossness that is coming out of like the strict. traditional conservative movement that I just don't it just does not vibe with me. And so honestly, I've always said that I've always said I'm not just your average, you know, person leaning left or leaning right, I have my own opinions about Basically everything. It just so happens that a lot of it aligns with a certain side at a certain point. And as we get further and further from COVID, as we get further and further from lockdowns, as we get further and further from even Ukraine and Russia, and we see what the, the, the war machine beating the drum is all the conservatives are calling for war against, uh, Palestine and Hamas and calling for us troops to go intervene there. It's like, nah, not me. So let's move on here. There was a conspiracy that came out. So Matthew Perry, the Friends star, uh, Chandler passed away suddenly and horrifically. And so what you saw about that was that basically he died in his hot tub. They said there was no, he had been pretty well known for recently over the past few years of having some type of like drug addiction. Um, and so there was. There was questions around that and the police came out and said no, no, no, there was no drugs found on the scene. There was no foul play reported, all of that. Now what we're seeing here, and again, my condolences to his family, my condolences to everybody that knew him. It's a horrific, public, tragic incident, just as the last one that we talked about. But in this case, there's actually some more deeper questions to be had. So there was something very strange about meth. Matthew Perry's death. The first one being that for a very long time, he hasn't been posting on social media. So I'm going to pull up his social media here. So I can kind of walk you through the timeline of events, but on his social media, he had been posting until seven days ago, very, very little. Now, seven days ago, he started posting. A post a day, essentially seven posts within just a few days. And every single one of these posts had a strange thing about them being the Batman symbol. Now, when you think of the Batman symbol, when you look in the sky and you see the Batman symbol, or you go watch the movies and you see it being displayed, what do you, what do you think when you see the Batman symbol? Well, normally when you see the Batman symbol, you, when you see the Batman symbol, you normally think. It's a sign of distress. So when Matthew Perry essentially posts the Batman symbol seven times over seven days, it starts to raise some questions for people right now. In one of his last posts, in an eerie, uh, is an eerie hand drop, uh, dropping some of what seems to be cranberries on the table with the caption saying, This is what I've had to eat today. I'm Mat Man. And it also says that it's worth, worth mentioning that the lead of the group of the cranberries died by drowning? That's a weird one. So let's see here. I don't know if I see that post with he's talking about here is me. Yeah, this is some super weird obscure posts. It's also noted that the very last chapter of his book was called. Batman. So maybe he just has some weird obsession with Batman. Maybe you know, maybe he was cast in the next Batman. Maybe that's it. But to make things more interesting, his third to last post has again, the Batman symbol with the caption saying, do you know what I mean? So let's, let's like look at this full timeline. April was the last time he posts before the most more consistent posts. The one after that is October 11th, where he said, why can Elon Musk send a woman to the moon and not be able to invent a silent leaf blower? Okay. Super obscure, weird, probably just a random post. Although most of his posts before that seemed like Somebody else is doing them like they're all not off the cuff weird things like that Anyways, he posts himself what looks like picking up leaves. The next post says here is me and my father John both holding a beverage Okay, super tragic to see his dad knowing what just occurred Anyways, the next one says, no need to worry everybody, I've got the streets tonight. This was October 17th. With the Batman up on three different, Batman, like this Batman background up on three different TVs, like one of the Batman movies. Why do you have three TVs in your room? Um, the next one says, sleep well, everybody. I've got the city tonight, Matt man, and it's a post of the Batman symbol. The next one is. Says WTF with a picture that says Batman plays pickleball. Oh, and here's the cranberry one It's literally just a video of him dropping three cranberries on a table and said this is what I've had to eat today I'm Matt man, huh? Interesting in a week ago. Somebody says is his account hacked something feels off his next post after that being October 22nd was a A batman carved pumpkin, which said, do you know what I mean? And again, if you go into the comments of this, a week ago, said, do you want us to send help? Is this your signal? Somebody else said, so Matt, you do know there are a few of us who are a little concerned about you right now. I am hoping you're just having a little silly fun and you're hinting at a new project. Your fans adore you and want you to be happy and healthy. Please take care of yourself. Thanks. The next person said, what's with the Batman obsession? Is nobody going to talk about Bruce Wayne faking his death to live a peaceful life? Somebody said that two days ago. So after he died, um, somebody else said, he said in his book, the day he needs help, he will send a bat signal and no one was listening. Wow. A week ago, you're trying to tell us something. Hmm. A week ago. I feel like you were trying to tell us something. A week ago. Is this some kind of hint? Wow. A week ago? SOS? Wow. This is super weird. Alright, so somebody posted on that and said, If anybody is confused, here's a little information about the conspiracy theories we have. If you have read his book, you may have remembered that he wrote, If I need help, I'll put a Batman symbol or something similar. His last post, a week before his death, yesterday, were all Batman posts. He even posted a picture on his jacuzzi with a red Batman logo on it. We think that Matthew is signaling for help. He was warning us about what was going to happen. His last posts were on Instagram where a picture of him in his jacuzzi. If you don't know, Matthew allegedly died in his jacuzzi. Investigators believe it was a drowning because he didn't find any intoxication in his body. There is a lot of more investigation going on so we will just have to wait. He was struggling. He needed help. He's in a beautiful place now where he doesn't have to hurt anymore. May his beautiful soul rest in peace. Okay, I'm convinced that this was not just the weird suicide that everybody was talking about after reading all of that. This is crazy. So, Matthew Perry, seemingly, was calling for help a week before his death, before his alleged suicide, with the very same messaging that he said that he would give if he needed help. And maybe that means... I need help because I'm dealing with mental health issues. Maybe that means I need help because, I don't know, some obscure entity is coming after me and wants me dead. Maybe it's, I don't know, and maybe the former seems much more likely than the latter, obviously. What a tragedy, right? And so you go into the last post or last two posts. The second last post says, Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you? I'm A week ago are you okay? Should we send for help? A week ago are you trying to give us a hint or something? A week ago, I hope you are doing well. I've always absolutely adored you and saw you, your struggles, and sometimes your sadness. I love your laughter and I'm always rooting for you. I know you won't see this, but I see you, and hope you are happy and living a beautiful life. Somebody else said, I can see the signs six days ago. Somebody else said, I've listened to your podcast so many times to know that this is a subliminal message. Keep up the good fight, bro. Wow. So there was so much, so much leading up to the death of Matthew Perry that it's Pretty crazy that nobody and a ton of the commenters did say that like we see this like we we know that this is an issue We know that you've said this before We see you and we love you. We're here for you like Somebody said don't relapse. Somebody else said the man was sacrificed by the elite. Although many people think this is a lie, it is reality. He already knew what was going to happen to him. Wow. This is probably one of the craziest conspiracy theories that I've seen play out in real time. Ever. Like, this... Matthew Perry died in like the single most horrific ways and his very last Instagram post he posted from the hot tub that he died in and said, Oh, so warm water swirling all around you makes you feel good. Question mark. I'm Matt, man. Damn. Wow. I'm trying to see if there's any posts here like the other ones, but man That's got to be just one of the Craziest. Oh Man, that's a rough one, right? And so There, it says there are only two options here. Yes, he could have been trying to hint at a new appearance in an upcoming Batman movie, or it was something else, something that may have gone right over the heads of those who needed to interpret it. My theory is that in the last few days, this says Matthew has been calling for help in a subtle way that hopefully his friends and family would have caught on to. Unfortunately, he dies. A week later, it's worth mentioning that in one of the comments the last chapter of his recent book is titled Batman this seems to be adding up all too. Well, wow, so He also commented on one of his posts rest easy. I'm on a tall building Hmm. Somebody else said planned suicide That's fair, right? Um, somebody else is my best guess based off of nothing but pure speculation. In the background in behavioral health, Matthew was going through a manic phase, which led to an increase in social media posts. This mania may have caused him to relapse on substances, which hot water and drugs is a very dangerous. It also says from another person that read to understand the last chapter of Matt's incredibly personal book is called Batman. It had his life photos in it. It's the most essential chapter regarding his life. Batman has repeated multiple times in his book as his pickleball, because he started that sport after he almost died from opiate use. He says something along the lines of when things are bad and you can't find yourself, just ask what would Batman. Do. Batman also is a single man with no children, which Matthew spoke about a lot in a matter that resembles depression type speaking. I think he relapsed and started posting weird from the day he says he's having a drink with his father. As in the book, he also speaks on his father in an incredibly emotional, hmm, very interesting. Somebody else said, who took that last pic of him? He's pretty far from the camera. Hmm, interesting. Wow. Pretty crazy. stuff. Um, it also said, I'm not sure if it was a cry for help. He signs off Matt man as in Batman as in he is the Batman Batman's whole theme is justice over vengeance. He fights crime to ensure no one would suffer like he did. What's that all about? The last picture is all is also pretty much Almost literal foreshadowing of his own death as if it was planned exactly like that. It feels a little bit sacrificial, like he needed to die to protect something. Mmmh, that seems like a stretch. Alright. Terrible, horrible. My heart goes out to the family, the loved ones, the friends. You know, no pun intended, uh, but pretty wild conspiracy theory, cause I don't think I've seen one happen like, see that play out like that in a long time, and again, maybe it's just foreshadowing his own death, and maybe it was a planned suicide, and that probably makes the most sense, but even so, such a, such a tragedy. Alright, we're going to switch gears now, um, and go into some of the Palestine, uh, situation with Israel, but first, What I need you to do go ahead and hit that subscribe button leave a five star review I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I told you already if you didn't leave a review All you gotta do is leave a review, and then when I bring it up in the middle of the episode, you have to go, Oh my gosh, he already mentioned this, and I haven't done it yet, and now you have that little feeling in the stomach that just makes you feel like, Ah, man, I should have done that already. And now I don't feel good. But you can feel good right now! I'm giving you the opportunity, I for give you all you got to do is hit that subscribe button and leave a five star review. All right, then next time we're sitting here talking and you're going to be like, hearing me talk about five star reviews and you're just every time from then on, you're going to get a dopamine hit because you're like, yeah, bitch, I already did that. So go ahead and do it right now. Then you'll feel good. Every single time from here on out, knowing that you left a five star review. All right, that's what I got. Let's jump back into it. The very first thing that we're going to discuss today is some of the remarks that came from Benjamin Netanyahu as he delivered his remarks in Tel Aviv on 10 30, 2023, which is. Today. All right. So here it was his statement, some of which I was highly concerned about. I'm not sure we'll get to all of them, but I'm going to start this, uh, as he speaks in English for some of it and then transfers over. So let's listen to it right now. And if you are on YouTube, You'll be able to follow along as I just pulled up with you and you can watch it along with me. If you are listening on the podcast, great. I appreciate you. But also you can watch it. You can see my beautiful face. You can watch my crazy expressions. You can see it all. Just join the YouTube and subscribe there as well. All right. The Adams archive. Here we go. Here is what enabled us to move. Until recently, many believed. That the promise of progress in the 21st century would enable us to move beyond the barbaric horrors of the past towards a better and brilliant future. Many believe that we could go about our comfortable lives and that evil will simply pass us by. It will not. The horrors that Hamas perpetrated on October 7th remind us that That we will not realize the promise of a better future unless we, the civilized world, are willing to fight the barbarians. Because the barbarians are willing to fight us. And their goal is clear. Shatter that promising future. Destroy all that we cherish. And usher in a world of fear and darkness. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a turning point. A turning point for leaders and nations. It is time for all of us to decide if we are willing to fight for a future of hope and promise. Or surrender to tyranny and terror. Now rest assured, Israel will fight. Since October 7th, Israel has been at war. Israel did not start this war. Israel did not want this war. But Israel will win this war. Hamas launched this war by perpetrating the worst savagery our people have seen since the Holocaust. Hamas murdered children in front of their parents. Murdered parents in front of their children. They burned people alive. They raped women. They beheaded men. They tortured Holocaust survivors. They kidnapped babies. They committed the most horrific crimes imaginable. Now I, one thing I'd like to point out, and this doesn't take away from and detract from anything that he just said that was horrible. Obviously, everything you just talked about was horrible. But something that was the most egregious act that every single person was unbelievably disgusted by in this war was the idea that there was And it hurts just to say the words. But there was the idea that there was 40 or whatever, there was 44 or whatever number they threw out. It was something like that. 44 babies that were beheaded. He specifically just used the word beheaded, but did not say babies. If there was babies that were beheaded, and again, I just like, Oh, it crushes my soul to even have those words around each other. But if that was the case, don't you think he would have just said it? Like, all the propaganda that we're seeing come out about this and like, all the emotional strings that they're trying to pull with this propaganda, like, if that was the case, he absolutely 100 percent would have just stated that, that was a fact. But it didn't. You want to know why? Because it's unfounded claims. Something that they cannot validate. Something without the ability, and he hasn't the whole time because he knew that it wasn't something that was founded in fact. It wasn't something that they could. Come out and say to be true because, and again, from my standpoint and from every, the standpoint of the, you know, the same, um, uh, news organizations who called it wrong on that hospital in Gaza. called it wrong on this, right? If that was the case, they, he would have absolutely 100 percent said it because it's true. And they know, and it's one of the most egregious things that they could point to and say, they did that to our people. And here's why you should support us. But he can't do that because it was not factual. Transcribed by https: otter. ai And again, that's not to support Hamas. It's just saying that that wasn't the truth and that was propaganda. And you need to don't to know when you're looking at anything in this war, that there's such a, such a fog around every single statement that made is like, it's either big enough to make headlines and you find out it wasn't true 48 hours later, or it's not big enough to make the largest of headlines and nobody remembers it the next day. Like that's just. how it generally has played out. Right. But the 7, 000 people, and we'll get to that in a minute, 7, 400 or so people that it, that Palestine has said, including women and children and everything, like all of this is just horrible. Right? So when he's sitting here saying, Oh, we're the good guys. And like, he'll get to that. Biblical conversation here in just a second where he says, we're the good guys and they're the bad guys and there's right and there's wrong. And we're the good ones who get to murder in the name of rightness, righteousness. And, and they're the bad people who murder in the name of, you know, badness. It's like. Anytime somebody tries to sell you the idea of good versus bad without a nuanced conversation between what went wrong between the two groups like, yeah, there's inherently bad people for sure and we know that, but very much more often than not, it's a much more deep conversation to be had and maybe that's not something as a culture that we've been ready to discuss for a very long time. There's always been good guys and there's always been bad guys, right? Right. But in the, in this case, it's like, yeah, you are bombing children and women too. If you go look at some of the footage that is coming out. It's not like, and, and the only reason that I have to say this is because the, the propaganda machine is propping up Israel unbelievably. Right. Like if they were saying, oh, Hamas did it. All right? Hamas is the good guys. Hamas this, Hamas that like support Hamas, like I would be condemning them consistently too. And I do condemn the acts that they've taken. But they're not the ones in the mainstream media that they're propping up with, you know, this type of propaganda campaign. So I, it goes without saying that what they're doing is wrong, right? And what Israel is doing is wrong is being sugar coated as fucking unicorn f Farts. Like, it's like, Oh, I know we did that wrong thing, but everything that we do is in the name of righteousness. It's like, no, it's not. No, it's not. You're bombing children. And actually, like they have called to bomb hospitals at certain points. They're like, Oh, they're hiding their stuff in hospitals. If you don't evacuate, we will bomb you. It's like, Okay, no, that's not how the Geneva Convention works. You don't just get to bomb whoever you want, whenever you want, because there's allegedly weapons or people within there that are persons of interest. You just can't do that. I want you to find any single situation where the U. S. bombed a mosque or bombed a hospital or bombed an elementary school. You can't find it because we followed the Geneva Convention, right? But Israel is not doing that. So let's continue listening to what he has to say. And they're part of the axis of evil that Iran has formed. An axis of terror that works by arming, training, and financing Hamas in Gaza. All right. Now listen to this. I'll go back a minute just so you can hear that from the very beginning, but we talked about this with Iran, right? When, when we bomb, I ran back groups. We're not bombing. I ran back groups. We're sending a message to Iran, right? We didn't bomb Hamas because that would have caused this just crazy domino effect of large superpowers coming in. But what we did do was a strategic message to Iran saying, stop it, right? Even the, the, the message from Kamala Harris to Palestine and Hamas, she literally gets on the camera and goes, don't. They asked her in an interview, and I should pull it up here, but, um, I did, I didn't have it ready to go, but it says they asked, they asked Kamala Harris, what is your message to Hamas and to, or I'm sorry, they asked Kamala Harris, what is your message to Iran? And she said, don't. That was her message because they know the likelihood of them retaliating against us when we. Do offensive attacks against their backed militias is high because they know the message that they just sent to Iran. So they look back at Iran and go, you better not jump in while I beat the shit out of your friend here. You better not jump in because if you do, then we're going to war too. Don't. Right. So Kamala Harris sent a clear message to Iran. This is nothing but a message to Iran. This was not a message to whatever obscure terrorist organization that sent a drone to our, our military, uh, uh, operating bases and, and hurt 24 people and I say hurt because they were at work the next three days after and the only person who really got hurt had a, uh, a heart issue that likely stemmed from some sort of vaccine and not the drone attacks that drone attacks don't cause heart attacks. Right? So it's like I want you to pay attention to his next statement, which is a statement to Iran. Just as the question to Kamala Harris is not, what is your statement to these militias? It was, what is your statement to Iran? Just as we talked about. Here we go. And they're part of the axis of evil that Iran has formed, an axis of terror that works by arming, training and financing Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen and other terror proxies throughout the Middle East and beyond the Middle East. In fighting Hamas and the Iranian Axis of Terror, Israel is fighting the enemies of civilization itself. Victory over these enemies begins with moral clarity. It begins with knowing the difference between good and evil, between right and wrong. There you have it. It means making a moral distinction between the deliberate murder of the innocent And the unintentional casualties that accompany every legitimate war, even the most just war. So there you have it. He just said the intentional deaths of, what did he say? Let's just go listen to his own words. Netanyahu just said the thing out loud that when they kill civilians, they're the bad people. But when we do it, it's just a casualty of war. Don't blame us. Blame them. Company every year of the year. He's making a moral distinction between the deliberate murder of the innocent And the unintentional ca casualties that accompany every legitimate war, even the most just war. It means holding Hamas responsible. They are trying to gaslight us into thinking that civilian casualties, the death of women and children should be normalized in the name of what's right and what's wrong. When they kill, when, when, when they kill. Women and children, they're the bad people. But when we do it, it's just a casualty of war. Don't mind us. Definitely don't condemn us. We're the good guys. Guess what? Good guys don't kill women and children. Good guys don't level entire cities. Good guys don't don't destroy entire Entire cities filled with non violent individuals, right? When they do it, they're the bad guys. But, you know, people make a moral distinction between when they deliberately target civilians and when we deliberately target civilians and also maybe kill some bad guys, quote unquote. Jeez. And the unintentional casual I'm just going to play that for you one more time. Between right and wrong. It means making a moral distinction between the deliberate murder of the innocent and the unintentional casualties that accompany every legitimate war, even the most just war. It means holding Hamas responsible for the double war crime it commits every day by deliberately targeting Israeli civilians while deliberately using Palestinian civilians as human shields. It means making clear The use of human shields is not only an immoral tactic of terror, but also an ineffective one because as long as Hamas' use of Palestinian human shields result in the international community blaming Israel, Hamas will continue to use it as a tool of terror and so will others. So when they use their human shields and we shoot women and children, whether you saw it or didn't see it. Right? It's like, that's something I remember about the Iraq war, and the war in Afghanistan, and ISIS, and like, there was always the human shield element. Right? Like, how many instances were people actually using human shields? We don't know. It's just a narrative. It's just something that's spoken that goes, they're the bad guys, and we're the good guys, and they use human shields, and we don't, and when they target women and children, they're doing it for bad reasons, and when we do it, we're doing it for good reasons. I just, anybody who's on this train of Israel is just so baffling to me, and I'm not on the train of anybody, by the way, I'll keep reiterating that. There's no good train here guys. It's all bad. It's all bad. Now whether or not the acts on October 7th, right, they're trying to make into their 9 11 whether or not that which is the the EDM concert that the the Hamas state or the the terrorists went into and killed all those people whether that that was You know, there's still questions around that because there's people who say that they knew there's questions about people who said that they were informed about this just weeks ahead of time, days ahead of time, consistently over and over again by Egyptian intelligence officers. So it's like, okay, but maybe they were just waiting for a reason, and who's to say they didn't let this happen, and who's to say they didn't make it happen in order to conduct this attack on Gaza and retake over this land for this holy war, quote unquote, that they said they've deserved for thousands of years. Hamas will continue to use the basements in Gaza's hospitals as the command posts of its vast terror tunnel network. It will continue to use mosques as fortified military positions and weapon depots. It will continue to steal fuel and humanitarian assistance from UN facilities. While Israel is doing everything to get Palestinian civilians out of harm's way, Hamas is doing everything to keep Palestinian civilians in harm's way. Israel urges Palestinian civilians to leave the areas of armed conflict. While Hamas prevents those civilians from leaving those areas. Hamas is also preventing foreign nationals from leaving Gaza altogether. And most despicably, Hamas is holding over 200 Israeli hostages, including 33 children. Holding them, terrorizing them, keeping them as hostages. Every civilized nation should stand with Israel in demanding that these hostages be freed immediately and freed unconditionally. I want to make clear Israel's position regarding a ceasefire. Just as the United States would not agree to a ceasefire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, or after the terrorist attack of 9 11, Israel will not agree to a cessation of hostilities with Hamas after the horrific attacks of October 7th. Calls for a ceasefire are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. That will not happen. Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible says that there is a time for peace and a time for war. This is a time for war. A war for our common future. Today we draw a line between the forces of civilization and the forces of barbarism. It is a time for everyone to decide where they stand. Israel will stand against the forces of barbarism until victory. I hope and pray that civilized nations everywhere will back this fight. Because Israel's fight is your fight. Because if Hamas and Iran's axis of evil win, you will be their next target. That's why Israel's victory will be your victory. But make no mistake, regardless of who stands with Israel, Israel will fight until this battle is won. And Israel will prevail. May God bless Israel, and may God bless all those who stand with Israel. No, thank you, sir. Let's go back and listen to a couple of those closing statements, which is that our fight is your fight. Regardless of who stands with Israel, Israel will fight until this battle is won. Iran's axis of evil win. You will be their next target. We'll back this fight. Because Israel's fight is your fight. Because if Hamas and Iran's Axis of Evil win, you will be their next target. Excuse me, sir. Israel's fight is not my fight. Israel's fight is not my children's fight. Israel's fight is not my friend's fight. Israel's fight is Israel's fight. Israel is 7, 000 miles away from the United States. Israel is its own nation with its own capable military with the most advanced. Uh, the most advanced, one of the most advanced militaries and intelligence organizations in the world. Why in the hell would you need my money? Or my son's blood? Or my blood? I'm fighting age, still. No thank you, I'm not fighting your war, send your son. Oh, but wait, you won't send your son, your son sitting at a beach in Miami because of the 350, 000 reservists that you just recalled of the men across the globe that are from Israel. You forgot your own son, the coward sitting here in the United States today who won't go and fight your war for you just as much as you don't believe it. And he doesn't believe it. Because if you were going to believe in this war, if you were going to truly believe in this fight, go send your son to do it. You're not going to send mine. You're not going to send me. Especially if you're not going to send your own son. And that's a fact. Let's pull this up here, which is the fact that during the same exact time that he's talking about this here, during the same exact time here, which is an article from the Daily Mail states, where is Netanyahu's son, Israeli soldiers blast Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair, 32, for abandoning them by staying in Miami. While 360, 000 reservists are called up to fight against Hamas. But you sell me. You tell my family members. You tell my friends that your war is our war. And that we should go fight it for you. But you won't send your own son. That's disgusting. You believe in your war? Send your son. Send yourself. Don't send mine. Don't spend my tax dollars. Don't spend my son's blood. Don't send, spend my blood on your war. You, you decided to engage in this conflict. You of 140 countries decided that a ceasefire wasn't worth it. So why would I send my son? Why would I sell and send myself? To a war that you're not even willing to sacrifice. You're not even willing to send your own son to fight. Here's what the article says. The son of Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been blasted for staying in Miami while reservists returned home to fight Hamas. Yair Netanyahu, 32 years old, has been in Florida since last April after his father told him to stop making inflammatory posts on social media, which saw him sued for defamation multiple times. Meanwhile, an unprecedented 360, 000 reservists have been called up, many of them dropping everything to fly back to Israel, even abandoning honeymoons. And there's some links on there, but yeah, a year has remained in Miami. To the irritation of many troops, Yair is enjoying his life at Miami Beach while I'm on the front lines, one soldier, a volunteer, serving on Israel's northern front, told the Times. It's us who are leaving our work, our families, our kids, to protect our families back home, in the country, not the people who are responsible for the situation. Our brothers, our fathers, sons are all going to the front line, but Yair is still not here. It does not help build

All Links: linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Merch: https://antielite.club Full Transcription: Adams Archive. Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we are going to be continuing our deep dive into what I have described as the single most disturbing, least discussed top secret document that anybody has ever gotten their hands on. Alright? Now, if you don't know what we're talking about, you should go back to the very first deep dive that we did last week, but the document itself is called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. I will give you a brief synopsis to catch you up to speed regarding where we are at within this document. It is a 45 page document, and again, I highly recommend that you start with part one. So go back, listen to part one, then come back here and listen to part two because it is well worth your time. This document has been the, what I would say, the playbook. By the oligarchs, by the elites, by the BlackRocks, by the Soros, by the Rothchilds, and the, you know, Rockefellers of the world. Absolute to a t playbook of how we got to where we are today, starting all the way back in the early forties when this document was created and presented at the very first Bilderberg meeting to the policy committee. Okay, so we will take a deep dive into the second half of this document. If you have not heard the first half, go listen to that now, and then I'll meet you right back here in about an hour and 20 minutes or so. Okay? But ev all of the podcast that I've done so far, I would say this is by far the craziest thing. And again, I, I discussed why last time. Right. The reason that this is so disturbing is not because of the individual. The reason this is so disturbing is because of how they've sociologically and, uh, been engineering the, the mass public of the world for so long successfully. And we'll get into a little bit more about that in just a minute. But before we do that, I need you to subscribe. If you're not already, which you should be, I need you to leave a five star review, which I would appreciate greatly. Takes five seconds outta your day, means a lot to me. Honestly, I would really highly appreciate it if you took the moments that we have right here before the episode starts. There's going to be the intro in just a minute. So leave a five star review. Tell me the craziest thing about this document. Tell me why, what you loved about this deep dive. Tell me your favorite color. I don't care. Leave a five star review. I would appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Then head over to the sub stack Austin Adams dot sub stack.com, Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. It is free to sign up. You will get the deep dives directly to your email. Last deep dive. I went into this in a ton of detail, a lot more detail than I anticipated where I found hyperlinks. I found the, um, receipts for everything that they were discussing within this document. The guy who was the head of the Harvard project in 1940s that was funded by the Rothschilds, I actually linked to the actual scientific findings itself. I, I, I went into a lot of detail in, into this sub, uh, giving you all of the links that I could possibly find regarding this document, breaking it down, giving you my opinions on each part of it from the first half, and giving you additional resources so you could go. Dive deeper into this topic. So head over there. It's free, Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. On top of that, you'll also get the full podcast, video podcast. As a reminder, you can follow me on YouTube and you'll actually be able to follow everything in video here. Alright? You'll be able to see what I'm talking about, the documents, the everything that we write up here on my screen. Okay? Uh, so head over to the sub stack, the highlighted version of this that I went through on this, uh, podcast is in there right now for you annotated all of the fun stuff. Go head over there right now. And without further ado, let's jump into silent Weapons for Quiet Wars part. The Adams Archive. All right. Silent weapons for quiet Wars part two. Now I'll give you a brief quick two to three to maybe four minute synopsis of what this document is, just to catch you up to speed. Even if you listen to last week, you might need a little refresher. So this document represents the adopted doctrine by the Policy Committee of the most. Powerful people, powerful families in the world today and a hundred years ago when this was implemented. Okay? 1954 was the first meeting that this was presented at at the Bilderberg Group. All right, so the following document dated May, 1979 was found on July 7th, 1986 and an I B M copier that had been purchased at a surplus deal. Now, if you think the first deep, deep dive that I did into this, if you think the first breakdown of silent weapons for quiet wars was disturbing, you are going to find this second half of this. Far more disturbing. It gets into the family unit unit. It gets into the position of the mother and the father and how they're going to, uh, break down the family unit from the inside. Okay? There's a ton of disturbing information in this document, but it, you need to know it. You need to understand what they've been doing to our families, what they've been doing to our economy, what they've been doing to, to our education system, all of it. And it's outlined perfectly in this document. Okay? So let me catch you up to speed with where we were at already. The first half of silent weapons for Quiet Wars broke down where this document came from, which was a c i a, uh, elite unit, which was used to at least understand the, the conspiracy that was going on behind closed doors. So they picked a elite group of people based on their personality types, what seems to be narcissists and sociopaths. Right. People who have a, you know, what they described to be, uh, less than, um, let's see if we can find the actual words from it. Uh, but the manual itself is an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must be secured from public scrutiny, otherwise it might be recognized as a technically formal declaration of domestic war. Okay. The solution of today's problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly candid with no agonizing over religious, moral, or cultural values. Okay? Then it gets into what is social engineering, how they could control the world with the push of a button based on data analysis. The Harvard Project that started it all, uh, which began in 1949, funded by the Rockefeller family, and they began it at Harvard. And then it was implemented with, along with the Air Force and moved over into the private sector in 1953. Okay. Because of its feasibility of economic and social engineering. Okay? Now, what we went into in the first part got a little technical, which was the fact that all people can be subjected and looked at and mathematically broken down the same way that energy can be. And that's how they began this theory of economics surrounding the theories around energy. So we went into that last time. Then we went into what is shock testing, right? How they were going to leverage data by having certain things that they implemented purposefully to see how it would break down the family unit to see how it would, you know, one correlation that they used was that when the price of gas went up, the, it actually largely correlated with the amount of headaches. So there's a lot of different ways that they've been manipulating large data sets. Now, if you think that this was terrifying then in 1954, I cannot imagine how terrifying this has become today with things like large language learning models like Chachi pt, right, with the use of AI in today's world. Alright, so as we scroll through this, again, it talked about basically how people needed to have a quiet war waged against them because you are so stupid, because you couldn't, you don't belong with the money that you were given you. There's no reason that you should be allowed to exist in a world where you have freedoms. Without an oligarchy above you controlling and social engineering, the general public, because without them, without our saviors, without those in positions of power of wealth, we would just be monkeys with tools, right? We would, we would eventually kill ourselves off according to them. So now where we pick up on this is worse, has not only the prices of commodities, right? We're getting back into what was economic shock testing and how do they use this? Not only the prices of commodities, but also the availability of labor can be used as a means of shock testing, labor strikes, deliver excellent tests, shocks to an economy, especially in the critical service areas of trucking, communication, public utilities, et cetera. Right now we go back to the. Strikes by the truckers that was being waged against people when they did the, uh, in Canada, right. The trucker rallies that began around Canada and then flowed into the United States briefly, but it says byock testing. It has found that there was a direct relationship between the availability of money flowing into the economy and the real psychological outlook and responses of masses of people dependent upon that availability. For example, there's a measurable quantitative relationship between the price of gas and the probability that a person would experience a headache, feel a need to watch a violent movie, smoke a cigarette, or go to a tavern for a mug of beer. Hmm. So they leveraged the shock testing, right, which is built off of the aviation model to see how much, uh, explosive loads a, a airplane could take without ripping itself apart. And they used it against people. Now they give all of the formulas here that they used. They're a little bit too technical here, but I'll go ahead and pull it up on the page for you. A little too technical for me to break down, but maybe you're a mathematician and or economist and you understand this. Uh, but I will leave that to you. It says, when the price of gasoline is shocked, all of the coefficients with Round G and the denominator are evaluated at the same time. If b, G and M were independent and sufficient for description of the economy, then three shock tests would be necessary to evaluate the system. Uh, now it, so it's just talking about how they actually implemented these things. It says this is the result into which we substitute to get that set of conditions, of prices of commodities, bad news on tv, which will deliver a collapse of public morale ripe for takeover. They actually have a formula for how much bad news, how much terrible propaganda, how many shootings, how many this, how many that they need to have over a time period in order to make the public more morale ripe for takeover once the economic price in sales coefficients A, J and K and BK and J. So these are where the formulas come into control may be translated into the technical supply and demand. Coefficient shock testing of a given commodity is then repeated to get the time rate of change of these technical coefficients. Right? So this gets a little technical again, but it starts to come back right now. Now I'm drinking a liquid death and I had somebody point out here, you know, liquid deaths were fairly, uh, common and, and especially in like the podcasting world and then. Um, but I, I'm a big fan of sparkling water and I actually like the can sparkling water. Um, but I also liked the marketing of Liquid Death, but apparently they have some advertising on their website, which they're great at advertising and marketing, but they actually have some advertising and marketing on their website with a shirt that ex exclaimed. It's said that basically they, as a brand had a witch come in and do a seance of some demonic type into the water, so you could even be drinking a demon. I, I don't know what that means, but you know, if I start saying, uh, Latin throughout this episode, you know, why blame it on the liquid death? And to combat that, I am drinking red wine. The water of the. Our Lord and Savior. Okay. Um, economic amplifiers, just kidding, uh, are the active components of economic engineering. The basic characteristic of an amplifier, mechanical, electrical, or economic is that it receives an input control signal and delivers energy from an independent energy source to a specified output terminal in the predictable relationship to that out input control signal, right? So this is the introduction to economic amplifiers. So economic amplifiers, again, are the active components of economic engineerings, right? So what, how do we actually move society? That is the amplifiers that basic characteristic of an amplifier, mechanical, electro electrical, or economic, is that it receives an input control signal, right? An input and delivers energy from an independent energy source to a specified output. Terminal in a predictable relationship to that input control signal. Right? So we do this on one end. This is the input output model that made the Harvard e Economist got his Nobel Peace Prize, or whatever the prize, I'm pretty sure it was the Nobel Peace Prize that he got for this input output model. The simplest form of an economic amplifier is a device called, Advertising, right? If I do this thing on the outside of this equals this thing, right? That's the money machine. If I put $1 in on this end, $2 comes in on this end, I'm gonna put all of my dollars back in. On the other side, if a person is spoken to by a TV advertiser as if he were a 12 year old, then due to suggestibility, he will, with a certain probability, respond or react to that suggestion with the uncritical response of a 12 year old, and will reach into his economic reservoir and deliver its energy to buy that product on impulse when he passes it in the store. An economic amplifier may have several inputs and output its response might be instantaneous or delayed. Its circuit symbol, might be a rotary switch if its options are exclusive. Qualitative go or no go, or it might have its parametric input, output relationships specified by a matrix with internal energy sources represented. Okay, so whatever it's for might be its purpose is to govern the flow of energy from a source to an input sync in direct relationship to an input control signal. For this reason, it is called an active circuit element or component. Economic amplifiers fall into classes called strategies, and in comparison with economic amplifiers, the specific internal functions of an economic amplifier are called logistical instead of electrical, right? We're getting technical again here. It says here, here's where we come back though. In the design of an economic amplifier, we must have some idea of at least five functions, and here they are. The availability, the availability of input signals. The desired output control objectives, the strategic objective, the available economic power sources, and the logistical options. The process of defining and evaluating these factors and incorporating the economic amplifier into an economic system have been popularly called game theory. Okay? So game theory is how you define the inputs and outputs, figuring out the economic amplifiers, and then utilizing those and leveraging those from a social engineering perspective. Now, the design of an economic amplifier begins with the specification of the power level of the output, right? So think of it when it comes to advertising as the amount of advertising dollars, right? It can range from personal to national, the second condition. And in their case, when they're talking about people, they're saying, are we going after a single individual? As the power level, or are we doing an entire nation at one time? The second condition is accuracy response. How accurately the input action is a function of the input commands. High gain, combined with strong feedback, helps to deliver the required precision. Most of the error in the input data signal, personal input, most of the error will be in the input data signal. Personal input data tends to be specified, while national input data tends to be statistical, right? So we're talking about anecdotal versus statistical data. Now, here are the inputs, right? Questions to be answered. The what, the where, the why, the when, the how, and the who. Those are the first questions that you have to answer regarding your inputs. What are you gonna do? Where are you gonna do it? Why are you gonna do it? When are you going to do it? How are you going to do it? And who are you going to do it to? Right? So what are we gonna do? We're gonna release a virus to the general public. Where are we gonna do it? Well, we're gonna start in Wuhan China. Why are we gonna do it? To implement totalitarian authoritarian pharmaceutical injections into people's bodies for profit? When are we gonna do it? How are we gonna do it? And who are we gonna do it to? General sources of information, telephone taps, analysis of garbage surveillance and behavior of children in school, right? So this is how they used to actually get the data. Now it's all on a mass scale. Now it's social media, right? So the standard of living, right? And that tells you how much this has been amplified, how big this has gotten in the last 180, 80 years since this was implemented. We went from analyzing people's garbage surveillance, phone taps, and the behavior of children to two, knowing your every move, your every conversation, your every Google search, all analyzed in huge data sets. Now, the standard of living by was measured food, shelter, clothing, transportation, the social contacts, telephone itemized record of calls, family marriage certificates and birth certificates, friends associates, memberships and organizations, and the political affiliations. Then they get into the personal paper trail, personal buying habits. Use of checking accounts, credit card purchases, tagged credit card purchases, right? Talking about U P C codes or barcodes, people's assets, checking accounts savings, real estate business, automotive safety deposits, stock market liabilities, right? Creditors, enemies and loans. Government sources such as welfare, social security, U S D A, surplus food grants and subsidies. And then the principle of this ploy. The citizen will almost always make the collection of information easy if he can operate on the free sandwich. Principle of EAT now, pay later, right? Eat now, pay later. Maybe I'll get the vaccine so that I can go to a concert and later I'll die of myocarditis maybe. I'll take a P P C loan for $10,000 and that might, you know, make me feel better about my business getting completely shut down, which I used to profit every day from $10,000, but, you know, $10,000 is nice. But what they don't tell you is they're gonna come ask for that from you within interest after they analyze your application and tell you that, oh wait, you really didn't qualify. We want our money back. And think of how many applications this comes into, right? The free sandwich principle comes into the world coin, right? Just scan your iris for 500 bucks and now we have your digital identity on the blockchain forever. It's never going away, but you got 500 bucks. But also now, in order for you to pay your groceries, we scan your iris, we check your social credit score, and now you can't buy the meat that you wanted because, eh, you said something about Joe Biden. Whatever it is, government sources. Here's how they intimidate you. It literally says, government sources via intimidation, I r S, OSHA census, et cetera. And then other government sources are surveillance of US mail. Okay? Then it gets into habit patterns. So how do they figure out the programming strengths and weaknesses? Activities such as sports and hobbies, legal, fear, anger, crime, record, hospital records for drug sensitivities, reaction to pain, psychiatric records for fears, anger, angers, discuss adaptability, reaction to stimuli, violence, suggestibility, hypnosis, pain, pleasure, love, and sex. Methods of coping. How do you deal with things, right? Consumption of alcohol, consumption of drugs, entertainment, religious factors. Payment, modus operandi, do you pay on time? Payment of telephone bills, energy purchases, water repayment of loans, house payments, automobile credit cards. Then political sensitivity, right? So they're just, they're figuring out all of the data points, right? What are all of the inputs, right? What are the things that they can measure? What is the, what is the total? These are all listing out. Here's what's going in, right? Here's the activities, here's the legal records, here's the drug sensitivities. Here's how much alcohol we're consuming as a nation. Here's how many drugs we're consuming. Here's the percentage of people that are paying off their utility bills. Right? Here's, here's the political belief systems through Census bureaus. Here's how many people aren't paying off their i r s, uh, paid, you know, their taxes. Here's the police records that are going up, the driving records, the reports made by police insurance percentages. Anti-establishment acquaintances, right? So those are the inputs such as legal inputs, behavioral control, right? Um, and then they list off what those behavioral controls are. Excuses for investigations, search, arrest, employment of for force to modify behavior, court records, police records, driving records. Then the national input information, prices of commodities, sales investments, right? So before we were talking about personal, now we're talking about national banks and credit bureaus. Credit information, payment information, polls and surveys, publications, telephone records. Okay? So those are all of the inputs. Okay? Now here's the outputs. Here's the create controlled situations. Manipulate the economy, society, control by control of compensation and income. All right, so it says Allocates opportunities, right? So this is the sequence in which the outputs come. Allocate opportunities, destroy opportunities, right? They allocate the amount of jobs, then they destroy them. Controls the economic environment, controls the availability of raw materials, controls capital controls, bank rates, inflation of currency, possession of property, industrial capacity, manufacturing, availability of goods, the prices of commodities services, labor force payments to government officials, legal functions, a advertising media contracts, material available for TV viewing. Disengages attention from real issues, engages emotions, creates disorder, chaos, and insanity. Controls design of more probing tax forms, controls, surveillance, storage of information. Develop psychological analysis and profiles of individuals controls, legal functions, sociological factors, health options, praise on weaknesses, cripple strengths, and then leaches, wealth and substances, right? So now it gives you a table of strategies, right? Here's your inputs, here's your outputs. Okay? So if the elites do this, then they expect this. If they keep the public ignorant, they expect less public organization. If they maintain access to control points for feedback, the required reaction for inputs is prices and sales. If they create preoccupation, they lower the defense, right? If the family unit is so disintegrated to where the father goes to work, nine to five, the mom goes to work nine to five, they drop their kid off at school, nine to five, they come home, they eat dinner, they go to bed. Well, in the meantime, The job that they're at is controlled through corporations, which are controlled through these large entities like BlackRock and Vanguard, which is controlled by these families. In the meantime, your child goes to school and while your child's going to school, all of the books that were, they were funded by all of the teachers who were hired, all have the same ideology, which is in line with these companies in corporations and organizations like BlackRock, Vanguard, and these families. Right now, they've lowered your defense attack the family unit. If you do this, you control the education of the young. If you give less cash and more credit, more self-indulgence and more data, if you attack the privacy of the church, you destroy faith in this sort of government. If you. Give social conformity computer. You get computer program simplicity, computer programming, simplicity. So social conformity, meaning how can we get everybody to act in one way, right? How can we get them to move as a flock? And if we get them to move as a flock, we can have more successful data analysis. Minimize the tax protest. If you do this, you maximize economic data and minimum enforcement problems. If you stabilize the consent, the simplicity coefficients, if you tighten control of variables, simpler computer input data, you get greater predictability, right? If you proper timing, less data shift and blurring, if you maximize control, minimum resistance to control. If you collapse the currency, you destroy the faith of the American people in each other, right? So if we do this, then this is what we get. And so, If we want this, if we want this output, we do this input. If we want to destroy the faith in the American people in each other, we collapse their currency. If we want minimum resistance to control, we maximize our control initially, right? If we want to maximize economic data and minimum enforcement problems, we minimize the tax protest. If we want to control the education of the young, we attack the family unit, right? And how many things come out of that? How many times have they attacked the family unit and, and specifically for the idea to control the education of the young for what purpose? They're propagandizing. They're, they're hypnotizing, they're implanting ideas of the future of adults. Through the education system, right? If you want to lower the defense, you create preoccupation. If we want this thing, we do this thing first to get it right. So figure out your what output you're desiring and then reverse engineer the input. Now, next part is where it gets interesting and a little bit less technical. Alright? Diversion, the primary strategy and it says, Experience has prevent that. The simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant to the basic system principles on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized, and distracted with matters of no real importance. On the other hand, diversion is the main strategy of societal engineering, right? You wanna talk about the Black Lives Matter riots over one single individual, while probably tens and twenties, dozens of those happen every quarter, every month, but they decide to hone in on it. They put all of the news media on this one event, right? George Floyd, because they're creating a divergent or di diversion right now. That's not to say that that wasn't, uh, something that should be talked about or shouldn't. Be protested or whatever, but it is saying that there was a formulated intent by the news media to cause that to be something of discussion, right? If every single news company plays that clip over and over and over again, and it's all shocking enough, it's gonna cause this output, right? If we desire the output, the output being a diversion, so that we can then ramp up our control, well, what's the input? The input is a diversion. George Floyd. Now this is achieved by, or, or even, let's take it even further, it maybe the, the entire diversion was covid and pharmaceutical companies took advantage, but who really took advantage of Covid, right? Who's talking about the new normal? Oh, that was pretty good. Claude Schwab, right? The World Economic Forum. It's a new normal, right? They want to re-engineer society, and they're not even hiding this from you anymore. The great reset is just silent weapons for quiet wars spoken out loud. They no longer care that it's silent or not right? The societal engineering, they, they've pulled back the curtain now, whatever that, that Frank Zappa quote, right? Um, when, when the, when the illusion becomes too expensive or too difficult to maintain, they will pull back the curtain and reveal the cinder block wall behind the show, right? It's like they know that we know. Now comes authoritarian action because they can no longer do this. S slight of hand bullshit. They can no longer tell you that elections are, aren't, uh, in some way, shape or form. Uh, manipulatable, right as shown by some of the cases that we saw. They can no longer have this position when there's been court cases to back it up. The general public is talking about it consistently. So they just pull back the curtain. They go, all right guys, you've got us. The great reset is happening today, right? We, we will no longer eat cows, we'll eat bugs. Well, not me, I love steak, but you'll eat the bugs. So that's what they want. They want the diversion, right? They want you to be confused, disorganized, distracted, with matters of no real importance. I. Gender ideology. I hate talking about gender ideology specifically because you're playing into the diversion of the elites. This is exactly what they want, is us fighting each other about Leah Thomas, while some 17 year old cuts their boobs off and proclaims that they're a man. They've gotten us so good with this, right? And I, I have such a problem with perpetuating this conversation because it's simply a diversion. A diversion from something greater, a much, much bigger conversation. That's not to say that we shouldn't be having this conversations because they caused this internal war between political ideologies. Were, we're, we're having a, a mass taking over of our youth, right? 22% of children now identify as lgbtqia a element P plus, right? 22%. One in five. The generation before it was like 8%. Gen, uh, millennials before that, it's like 2% before that it's 0.8%, right? Like boomers is like 2% of people identify and the vast majority of those are the L, the G's and the B's, not the T's or the Q's or the I's or the A's. Right? But so many people are like, oh, I'm non-binary. They're Gen Zers out there trying to feel special. So we have to make, we have to proclaim these things. We have to fight when they're shaking their dicks in front of us at, you know, in our children at Pride parades like. You have to have that discussion. But I hate having it so consistently every time, like I, I, it's, I feel like a broken record, but you have to have these discussions. But it's like the conservative side has gotten drawn into it just as much as the liberal side, right? They want you to be on those sides. They don't want people in the middle talking about silent weapons for quiet wars. They want you speaking about gender identity. They want you speaking about Joe Biden falling asleep during a presidential conversation. They want you speaking about all of the ridiculousness that is going on in this world today, but they don't want you talking about this societal engineering at a mass scale by the elites. So instead, they muddy the water with transgender non-binary, high inflated gas prices, no toilet paper. Uh, George Floyd's. Uh, riots in New York over a PSS five. All of these things are diversions and, and, and tactics to divert your attention from this hand, which is really doing something with this one over here, right over here. So it says, disengage. This is achieved by disengage their minds, sabotaging their mental activities, providing a low quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems, design and economics, and discouraging technical creativity. Okay? So again, these diversions are done by disengaging their mind, sabotaging their mental activities, providing low quality program of public education in mathematics, logic systems, designs and economics, and discouraging technical creativity, engaging their emotions. Increasing their self-indulgence in their indulgence in emotional and physical activities by unrelenting emotional confrontations and attacks. Quote, mental and emotional rape by way of constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media, especially the TV and the newspapers, giving them what they desire in excess junk food for thought and depriving them of what they really need. Right? So you wanna talk about the sexualization of our generation? You wanna talk about the only fan's culture, the porn hub culture. Right? How, how, how, how all of these social media companies have said that they are. You know, they are, they're bringing our society to a place where there's more connection. It's like, no, we're more disconnected than whenever we have more depression than ever. Right? All, all of these things have come together to make us be able to pull up our phone, find a, you know, a, a model who's willing to show themselves off for a few dollars. Release the hormones that were meant to create connection, literally hijacking your, your center of energy. Your, you know, there's a reason that the, the, the kundalini, uh, yoga is, is what it is, is because there's your sexuality, your sexual energy, all of those things are, are combined to create your, your emotions, your hierarchy of, uh, of, of chemicals in your body. Like you have a specific set of chemicals that are sexual in nature for procreation, for connection with your spouse, for, to, to, to make you want to stick around for your children, to make you like. So when you hijack as a societal engineering, you hijack that. You make, you make porn so cheap you don't even have to pay for it. Like, imagine that, how is it that there's so much unrelenting, un unbelievable amounts of porn out there, and you don't have to pay for any of it. Right. None of it, none of it has to come from your pocket. You have a unlimited access, a river of, of women and men and whatever types of situations you could ever imagine in your dreams, that's so far from reality of what you would actually have access to or even really want if you were in a, in a personal setting with somebody, right? It's like this unlimited river of, of this biohacking of your sexual energy to the point where it devalues that connection. It devalues your connection with your spouse. It devalues those, those, uh, moments with the person that you love or, or the connection or the release that you get after months and months or years and years of, of, uh, of, uh, sexual non indulgence of celibacy. Right, but when you can get one off every night from pulling up your iPhone, like what, what is the, what the, the, the same internal drive that would normally make you go find a connection and find love and settle down and, and have those feelings for someone is now redirected, hijacked. It's the junk food, right? It's like literally instead of getting satiating amounts of nutrients, which have actual value, you're eating candy, right? Which feels good in your mouth for about five seconds, but the actual outcome is not, not what it's meant for, right? It's not meant to be 20 seconds of joy or, or elated feeling or, you know, release of oxytocin for the purpose of release of oxytocin. It's, it's meant for connection, right? So they achieved this. By unrelenting emotional confrontations and attacks, mental, emotional rape by way of constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media, especially in the TV and in the newspapers, giving them what they desire in excess junk food for thought and depriving them of what they really need. Right? You wanna talk about all of the Kim Kardashians, the, the Jersey shores, right? All of those while, while people used to read hemmingway and used to, uh, color and or color used to color with crayons back in the day, they used to, to paint and, and learn to have real artistic technical abilities, right? It says, these preclude their interest in, in discovery of the silent weapons of social automation technology. The general rule is that there is a profit in confusion. The more confusion, the more profit. Therefore the best approach is to create problems and then offer solutions. Here's your summary of diversion media. Keep the adult public attention diverted away from real social issues and captivated by matters of no real importance. Schools keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law and real history, entertainment. Keep the public entertainment below a sixth grade level. That's what they think about you, and that's how they divert your attention, right? They give you the absolute minimum, minimum amount of entertainment to where you're, you're the same way that they said they could advertise at a 12, 12 year old level, right? They entertain you at a 12 year old level too, so you have to seek these things, right? You have to seek. External stimulation. That's why podcasts, like even hyper-technical podcasts, like some of the podcasts I listened to with, with Lex Friedman and the discussions that he has with people in AI or mathematicians or astrophysicists or like, they're far above my level of intellect for me to jump in and spar with these people intellectually and on these certain topics. But there, there's something about them that is satiating, right? It's not the Kardashians, it's not the, the Jersey Shores. It's, it's something that like your mind just craves that there's been none of, there was none in the public education system. There was none of it when you went to most universities, right? The pay to play on the real education is like so much more difficult to actually get above that level. And this says work, keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think back on the farm with the other animals. Now we get into consent. The primary victory, a silent weapon system operates upon data obtained from a docile public by legal, but not always lawful force. Much information is made available to silent weapon system programmers through the I r s see studies in the structure of American economy for an I R S source list. The information consists of the enforced delivery of well-organized data contained in federal and state tax forms collected, assembled, and submitted by slave labor provided by taxpayers and employers. Furthermore, the number of such forms submitted by the i r S is a useful indicator of public consent, an important factor in strategic decision making. Other data sources are given in the short list of inputs right now. That's a fair point. What I would like, let's, let's talk about this for a second. We realized one thing with target, And Bud Light, there is power in your money. If you decide that you're no longer going to give your money to Bud Light, when you draw that line, right, and you say, I'm no longer going to accept this reality that you are enforcing upon me via your advertising, right? Everybody feels powerless when it comes to our government. Everybody feels like, oh, there's nothing we can do about these elections. Oh, there's nothing we can do about this man falling asleep against other while talking with other presidents, right? There's nothing we can do. There's nothing we can do. Well, what can I do? I'm just a person, right? It's like, okay, yes, as an individual, if you boycott Bud Light, the repercussions to Bud Light are very low, and the likelihood that something's gonna change is also very low. But in mass, if we boycott the monetary systems of our government in mass, They will be forced to change, right? We don't need massive riots in the streets. It literally just takes you not actively filing these forms and giving them a large portion of your money. Like most people don't know when you sign up for your taxes through your W two that you can. Put exemptions, self exemptions, and then you just pay at the end of the year. Right? You don't have to have them take it out of every single paycheck. Right? It's like, if it gets to that point, which again, I hope it doesn't, and I hope our government just completely, but we keep sending billions upon billions upon billions of dollars over to Ukraine for no reason, right? So we saw the effects of this with Bud Light at one point or another. We may see the effects of this type of boycotting on a federal, national level through taxes. None of our founding fathers had the belief that we should be paying four D percent of your money to the government for them to send it away to their friends for quid pro quo relationships into Ukraine for a war that we're not even a part of. None of them, right? And now they even outline it here. A silent s a silent weapon system operates upon data obtained from docile, public by legal, not always lawful force. Much information is made available to silent weapons systems programmers through the I R Ss. On top of that, the number of forms submitted is an indicator of compliance, is a public temperature gauge. Are we still okay? By sending $50 billion to Ukraine, having a complete criminal in, in a position of the presidency, and also having our f b I be weaponized against everybody that that's potentially its enemies. Well, they're still paying us, so as long as they keep paying us, we might as well keep doing it right? It's like, so they actually utilized and leveraged this as a consent coefficient. That's what they call it here. Um, other data sources are given in the short list of inputs, consent coefficients, numerical feedback indicating victory status. Psychological basis when the government is able to collect tax and seize private property without just compensation, it is an indication that the public is ripe for surrender and is consenting to enslavement and legal encroachment. This says a good and easy quantified indicator of harvest time is the number of public citizens who pay income tax despite an obvious lack of reciprocal or honest service from the government. I will repeat that for you. I the consent coefficient. A good and easily quantified indicator of harvest time is the number of public citizens who pay income tax. Despite an obvious lack of reciprocal or honest service from the government, and that is exactly what we have right now. We have no re if if somebody from the government came to you and like was a salesperson and decided, Hey, I'm gonna, I'm gonna charge you an annual fee. Okay, that's fine. I'll, I'll, well, tell me what your service is. Well, I'm going to erode the, the sanctity of marriage. I'm going to disintegrate the public education for your children. I'm going to inflate the value of your money. I'm going to purposefully release viruses so that my friends over there in the pharmaceutical industry can profit off of your death. I'm going to elect incompetent individuals to represent you on a world stage. I'm going to send your sons and your daughters to war to die at the drop of a hat for whatever right reason I see as profitable. And all I need in exchange for all of those amazing things is 40 to 60% of your income. Would you sign up for that? Would you pay that annual fee? I don't think very many people would. I don't. I just don't see it. I don't, I, I cannot see the value right now of this right now. I'm not saying go, don't go pay your taxes. 'cause Lord knows, right? That's the last thing we need in our lives, getting audited and all of that that comes with that. But what I would say is if enough people did it at enough times together in unison with a set plan and actionable goal of asks. From the government. That is true power, right? Not just not paying it for not paying it, but if there was a set group of people, a large group percentage of the people who decided, we are not going to continue funding this government organization until these things are done. Maybe we even put it in escrow, right? Well, we have this money in an escrow account for U I R S, we have it set aside, but guess what? You're not getting 50% of your tax revenue until we get somebody impeached who's a criminal at the current head of our country, maybe get some competent people to actually be in the presidential race. Maybe stop sending money and weapons of mass destruction from our income to kill Russians and Ukrainians in a war that means nothing to us. Maybe stop poisoning our children through food systems and poisoning their intellect through educational systems. Maybe don't take any funding from BlackRock. Maybe don't take any funding from Vanguard. Right? Maybe, maybe we disintegrate those co, those large wealth management organizations through monopoly laws, right? Maybe we do that until we can trace back where this funding's coming from. May maybe you're not allowed to invest while you're in a position of power. What are our asks? What? What is the, what is the list of things that we ask for? Set aside the portion of money into an escrow account. Tell 'em it's right here for you as soon as you do this, this, this, and this. How quickly do you think if 50% of the country jumped on board with that, do you think that they would change their ways? Hmm. Interesting question. Especially when they're literally using it as a qualified indicator of harvest time according to this document. Now, here's the amplified energy sources. Okay? It says, the next step in the process of designing an economic amplifier is discovering the energy sources. The energy sources, which support any primitive economic system are, of course, a supply of raw materials and the consent of the people to labor, and consequently assume a certain rank, position, level, or class in the social structure to provide labor at various levels in the pecking order. Okay, so the next step in the process is designing an economic amplifier in discovering the energy sources. They do that by getting your consent to work and accept your claim in life, right? Accepting your certain rank, position, level, or class. Each class. In guaranteeing its own level of income, controls the class immediately below it hence preserves the class structure. This provides stability and security, but also government from the top. As time goes on. And communication and education improve. The lower class elements of social labor structure become knowledgeable and envious of the good things that the upper class members have. They also begin to attain knowledge of energy systems and the ability to enforce their rise through the class structure. This threatens the sovereignty of the elite. It says, if this rise of the lower class can be postponed long enough, the elite can achieve energy dominance. Labor by consent no longer will hold a position of an essential energy source. Right? And that makes sense, especially when we're getting into automation, right? If, if they can hold off the lower class long enough, the labor class, the class of of lower class individuals making minimum wage, they can eventually bring in automation systems of robots to eliminate the need altogether for that class of people, right? If they can postpone that long enough, the elite can achieve energy, dominance and labor by consent no longer will hold a position of an essential energy source. Until such energy dominance is absolutely established, the consent of people to labor and let others handle their affairs must be taken into consideration. And maybe that's why we're seeing this amplification right now of authoritarianism, right? They don't need you anymore. They'll need to take you into consideration. Since failure to do so could cause the people to interfere in the final transfer of energy sources to the control of the elite. It says it is essential to recognize that at this time, public consent is still an essential key to the release of energy in the process of economic amplification. Therefore, consent as an energy release mechanism will now be considered for now until they don't need you. Because they have robots five to 10 years from now and now they don't need your consent. The walls come down, the barbed wire goes up. They don't need you. That's terrifying 'cause that's where we're going very, very quickly. This perfectly outlines how quickly they're going to completely obliterate the lower class citizens, the labor workers from society. They put 'em on a universal BA basic income of $2,000 a month. Maybe they pay for a food bank down the road where everything becomes socialized. They don't need your consent because they don't need you to build the things that they need to have things built. Now it says logistics. The successful application of a strategy requires a careful study of inputs, outputs, the strategy, connecting the inputs and the outputs, and the available energy sources to fuel the strategy. This is called logistics. A logistical problem is studied at the elementary level first, and then levels of greater complexity are studied as a synthesis of elementary factors. This means that given a system that a given system is analyzed, broken down into the subsystems, and these in turn are analyzed until by this process one arrives at the logistical atom, the individual. This is where the process of synthesis properly begins at the time of birth of the individual. Now, this to me is where this gets the most scary. Okay? These next few pages are absolutely terrifying. Okay. The rest of this gets crazier and crazier and crazier. Okay, so it took us a minute, a little bit of technicality to get to this point, but this gets dark, very, very dark. Okay, so here we go. The artificial womb. From time, from the time a person leaves its mother's womb, it's every effort is directed towards building, maintaining, and withdrawing into artificial wombs, various sorts of substitute protective devices or shells. The objective of these artificial wombs is to provide a stable environment for both stable and unstable activity, to provide a shelter for the evolutionary processes of growth and maturity, survival to provide security of freedom. And to provide defensive protection for offensive activity. This is equally true of both the general public and the elite. However, there is the definite difference in the way each of the classes goes about the solution of problems, the political structure of a nation dependency. The primary reason why the individual citizens of a country create a political structure is a subconscious wish or desire to perpetuate their own dependency relationship of childhood. Simply put, they want a human God to eliminate all risk from their life. Pat them on the head, kiss their bruises, put a chicken on every dinner table, close their bodies, tuck them into bed at night, and tell them that everything will be all right when you wake up in the morning. This public demand is incredible, so the human God, the politician. You hear that? So the human God, the politician meets in credibility with, in credibility, by promising the world and delivering nothing. So who is the bigger liar? The public or the godfather? This public behavior is surrendered, born of fear, laziness, and expediency. It is the basis of the welfare state as a strategic weapon useful against a disgusting public. It says so let's break that down. They're saying that you come from a mommy and a daddy, and you want government to be your mommy and your daddy to house you, to give you food, to make you feel stable, to protect you from the burglars and the robbers so that you don't have to deal with any of that. It's an easy button, right? They want you to eliminate all risk from life, and they say, I. The human God is the politician in this very government document. How terrifying is that? That's how they look at themselves, meets in credibility with, in credibility, by promising the world and delivering nothing. How many times have we seen the president, every single presidential race, ever, every debate, every, every a hundred. What is it? A hundred first, 180 days. I'm gonna do these things almost every time. They do none of it, right? That includes Trump, that includes Clinton, that includes the Bushes, that includes Joe Biden, that includes every single president in history, promises the world, and delivers on nothing, because what you want is so ridiculous they say. It's not feasible for a politician, for a government to make you feel safe to feed everybody, to house, everybody, to make there be no, uh, war in the world, to tuck you in at bed at night and tell you that everything's gonna be all right. Right? It's not doable. So it says, most people want to be able to subdue and or kill other human beings, which disturb their daily lives, but they do not want to have to cope with the moral and religious issues, which such an overt act on their part might raise. Therefore, they assign the dirty work to others, including their own children, so as to keep the blood off their hands, they rave about the humane treatment of animals, and then sit down to a delicious burger. From a whitewash slaughterhouse down the street and out of sight, but even more hypocritical, they pay taxes to finance a professional association of hitmen, collectively called politicians, and then complain about corruption in government. Wow. Now it says responsibility again. Most people want to be free to do the things to explore, but they're afraid to fail. The fear of failure is manifested in the irresponsibility and especially in delegating those personal responsibilities to others. Where success is uncertain or carries possible, or created liabilities, which the person is not prepared to accept. They want authority, root word, author. They want authority. Authority, but they will not accept responsibility or liability. So they hire politicians to face reality for them, right? They want authority, but they will not accept responsibility or liability. So they hire politicians to face reality for them, right? So they're framing the idea of politics. They're framing the idea of the politician they're calling the politician, the godfather, the man who's supposed to tuck you in a bed, tuck you in a bed to give you food, to be the end all, be all of your social responsibility. And they say that you hire politicians to face this reality for you, right? So here's the summary. The people hire politicians so that the people can obtain security without managing it. Obtain action without thinking about it. Inflict theft, injury, and death upon others without having to contemplate either life or death. Avoid responsibility for their intentions. Obtain the benefits of reality and science without exerting themselves in the discipline of facing or learning either. They give politicians the power to create and manage a war machine by providing for the survival of the nation or the womb, prevent encroachment of anything upon the nation or the womb, destroy the enemy who threatens the nation slash womb and destroy those citizens of their own country, who then who do not conform for the stake of or for the sake of stability of the nation or the womb politicians. It says, hold quasi-military jobs, the lowest being the police, which are soldiers, the attorneys and CPAs next who are spies and saboteurs, the judges who shout orders and run the closed union military shop for whatever the market will bear. The generals are industrialists. The presidential level of Commander in Chiefs is shared by the international by bankers. So they outline the hierarchy perfectly right? The presidential level commander in chief is shared by international bankers, not by politicians. The generals are the industrialists. The judges are the ones who shout orders. The CPAs are the spies, and the cops are the soldiers. The people know now that they have created this farce and financed it with their own taxes, which is their consent, but they would rather knuckle under then be a hypocrite. Thus, a nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts. A docile sub nation, the great silent majority in the political sub nation. The political sub nation remains unattached or remains attached to the docile sub nation, tolerates it and leaches its substance until it grows strong enough to detach itself and then devour its parent. Interesting. So I'm gonna read that again 'cause I don't quite understand that. A nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts, right? A conforming sub nation, right? The, the vast majority of people, right? Probably 95% of people who is the silent majority and a political sub nation, the political sub nation, right? The 5% maybe remains attached to the docile silent majority. They tolerate it and then they leach its substance until it grows strong enough. To detach itself and then devour its parent. Hmm. The people know that they have created this farce and financed it with their own taxes or consent, but they would rather knuckle under than be a the hypocrite. Hmm. In order to make meaningful, computerized economic decisions about war, the primary economic flywheel, right. War is the primary economic flywheel. It is necessary to assign concrete, logistical values to each element of the war structure, personnel, and material alike. Now we're gonna get into war and how the elites leverage war for profit and how they do it through drafts, through the dissection of the the family. I. Right, specifically within roles about the mother and the father. So here it goes. It says the draft, right? So let's, let's start off at the beginning. In order to make meaningful computerized economic decisions about war, the primary economic flywheel, it is necessary to assign concrete, logistical values to each element of the war structure, personnel, and material alike. This process begins with a clear, candid description of the subsystems of such a structure. The draft few efforts of human behavior modification are more remarkable or more effective than that of the socio military institution known as the draft. A primary purpose of a draft or other such institution is to instill by intimidation in the young males of a society, the uncritical conviction. The government is omnipotent. He is soon enough, taught that a prayer is slow to reverse what a bullet can do in an instant. Thus, a man is trained in a religious environment for 18 years of his life. A man trained in a religious environment for 18 years of his life can by this instrument of the government be broken down, purged of his fantasies and delusions in a matter of mere months. Once that conviction is instilled, all else becomes easy to instill. Hmm. So the conviction of faith, the conviction of faith in a religious setting specifically can be encroached upon through war, right? By watching a bullet kill your friend right next to you, right? It's very hard to believe in God when you have these atrocious acts happening all around you. I. Which seemingly are the acts of the devil, not of the Lord. Right. Even more interesting is this process, right? So, but it's saying the, the protector of this, the, the veil that that can be put over, that can protect you from this type of thing that is being encroached upon through war by man, right? Giving you the idea that the government is omnipotent, not God, right? He has soon taught that a prayer is slow to reverse what a bullet can do in an instant. Thus, a man trained in a religious environment for 18 years of his life can by this instrument of the government be broken down, purged of his fantasies and delusions in the matter of months. Once that conviction is instilled in him, everything else becomes easy to instill. Even more interesting is the process by which a young man's parents who purportedly love him can be induced to send him off to war, to his death. Although the scope of this work will now not only. Although the scope of this work will not only allow this matter to be expanded in full detail, nevertheless, a course overview will be possible and conserve to reveal those factors which must be included in some numerical form in a computer analysis of social and more systems. So it's saying that you have to through, even the parents can be broken down into data sets. They say they love their child, but they're gonna send him to go what? Get into a firefight. Go, go work for the national drug cartel right to to, to fight for something that we don't even understand or believe in. It says we begin with a tentative definition of the draft. The draft selective service is an institution of compulsory collective sacrifice and slavery devised by the middle aged and elderly for the purpose of pressing the young into doing the public dirty work. It further serves to make the youth as guilty as the elders, thus making criticisms of the elders by the youth youth, less likely generational stabilizers. It is marketed and sold to the public under the label of patriotic national service. So the old rich guys send the young poor guys to war. That way the young poor guys become complicit in the actions of these old white dudes, these old bankers, these old men who are making decisions for profitability. They find the very people who could take them down through action, give them a monthly stipend and make them complicit in their acts of war that way. Now, you can't say anything to me young man, 'cause you are the one who pulled the trigger. I just paid you to do it. Once a candid economic definition of the draft is achieved, that definition is used to outline the boundaries of a structure called a human value system, which is in turn translated into the terms of game theory. The value of such a slave laborer is given in a table of human values, a table broken down into ca, categories of intellect, experience, post-service, job demand, post-service, job demand, et cetera. Some of these categories are ordinary and can be tentatively evaluated in terms of the value of certain jobs for which a known fee exists. Some jobs are harder to value because of their, they're unique to the demands of social subversion. For an extreme example, the value of a mother's instruction to her daughter causing that daughter to put certain behavioral demands upon a future husband 10 or 15 years, hence, thus, by suppressing his resistance to a perversion of a government. I. Making it easier for a banking cartel to buy the state of New York in say 20 years. Hmm. Some jobs are harder of the value. Let's reread that. Some jobs are harder of the value because they have have unique demands of social subversion. For an extreme example, the value of a mother's instruction to her daughter. Right. So putting a value on teaching that mother that she should be telling her daughter this. This idea then causing the daughter to put these demands on the husband 10 to 15 years down the road, then suppressing his resistance to the government, making it easier for a banking cartel to buy the state of New York in 20 years. So when it started at the mother, it trickled down to the daughter and she enforced those beliefs on her husband, which made it easier for them to do what they wanted to do 20 years down the road. Right. Makes sense. Such a problem leans heavily upon the observations and data of wartime espionage and many times of psychological testing. But crude mathematic models, algorithms can be devised if not to predict, at least to pre determinate these events and with maximum certainty. What does not exist by natural cooperation is thus enhanced by calculated compulsion. Human beings are machines levers, which may be grasped and turned, and there is little real difference between automating a society and automating a sho

Hey listeners! We've sharing the first episode of another podcast we think you'd love: As She Rises. On the latest season, we're traversing the Colorado River Basin – understanding water through a new lens and centering stories of resilience in the face of the drought. Hosted by Leah Thomas, eco-communicator, author, and founder of the non-profit Intersectional Environmentalist, each episode focuses on a different corner of the basin, beginning in the river's reservoirs on the borders of Arizona and Utah, and finishing in the dry delta in Mexico.In this episode, we're starting our journey just south of Lake Powell, in the Navajo Nation. Today, Lake Powell is around a fifth of its original size. Pools that used to be deep enough to dive into have turned into puddles of mud. And as the water disappears, the forgotten canyon beneath reemerges. Over the years, the U.S. government has signed a number of treaties with the Navajo Nation, promising certain amounts of water, and water infrastructure. But, as they struggle to reallocate water in the face of drought, the government still tends to leave indigenous communities out of the conversation.Poet Kinsale Drake reads her poem, “after Sacred Water,” about how the U.S. government drowned an ecosystem to create a dam that is now shrinking fast. Emma Robbins, director of the Navajo Water Project, explains how her organization ensures households have running water, and that the Navajo Nation has a seat at the table.

In this first episode, we're starting our journey just south of Lake Powell, in the Navajo Nation. Today, Lake Powell is around a fifth of its original size. Pools that used to be deep enough to dive into have turned into puddles of mud. And as the water disappears, the forgotten canyon beneath reemerges. Over the years, the U.S. government has signed a number of treaties with the Navajo Nation, promising certain amounts of water, and water infrastructure. But, as they struggle to reallocate water in the face of drought, the government still tends to leave indigenous communities out of the conversation. Poet Kinsale Drake reads her poem, “after Sacred Water,” about how the U.S. government drowned an ecosystem to create a dam that is now shrinking fast. Emma Robbins, director of the Navajo Water Project, explains how her organization ensures households have running water, and that the Navajo Nation has a seat at the table.
