Interview with James Delingpole, June 4, 2025

Thank you to James Delingpole for inviting me to appear on the Delingpod. The interview gets going around the five-minute mark.

As it turned out, this interview began only 45 minutes after the Manchester Arena discussion with Paul Hellier and Iain Davis finished (I hadn’t expected the latter to last for over three hours), so hopefully I’m still coherent!

We discussed:

* why I left academia;

* when I got “mugged by reality”;

* the failure of intellectuals and very intelligent people - how smart people learn not to ask the most important questions;

* the mainstream alternative media (my “Camp 2”);

* my wild ride for the last 12-13 months, which I wouldn’t change for the world;

* my disappointment at the education I received at Oxford;

* academia’s failure to investigate “9/11,” my journal article on it, and how it triggered the academic community worldwide;

* academics’ open letters attacking their own colleagues during “Covid-19”;

* reasons why academics will not address certain issues;

* the attacks on the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda, and Media;

* “permanent social turbulence,” the Tavistock Institute, and the use of shock and stress to make entire societies more psychologically susceptible to propaganda;

* conditioning public opinion through propaganda and psychological warfare;

* psychiatry as a means of social control;

* empires of the mind, leading to attempted neurological control in our own time;

* deep fakes, A.I., and the difficulty in discerning what is real (threatening mass psychosis);

* examples of psychological warfare deployed as part of the “Covid-19” operation;

* face masks as instruments of psychological torture;

* face masks as muzzles and conformity generators;

* the high level of premeditation involved in the “Covid-19” operation, viz. the attacks on “the unvaccinated”;

* “kill Granny” and MKULTRA;

* UK Government/NHS Covid propaganda — lies designed to traumatize the population;

* how a global operation such as “Covid-19” can be pulled off without many people understanding the bigger picture;

* banging pots and pans as “signalling commitment,” in the language of applied behavioural psychology;

* Captain Tom — a centenarian used for Covid propaganda purposes while the elderly were being murdered through midazolam and loneliness in care homes;

* the role of influencers and the WHO’s contract with Hill + Knowlton — centrally coordinated propaganda;

* the lack of primary observable evidence indicating that a TATP shrapnel bomb went off in the City Room, as the public was told re: the Manchester Arena incident in 2017;

* reasons to suspect the involvement of the transnational deep state in the Manchester Arena incident, giving the lie to liberal democracy and the “social contract,” meaning that we are living in historically precarious times;

* reasons for optimism in terms of people awakening to the dangers of technocracy before it is too late;

* who is behind it all?;

* Omniwar — war waged by the few against the many, across every domain of human life, but invisible and by stealth as far as possible, so that the public does not notice;

* World III, needed to achieve global change (the “Great Reset”) through social engineering, while avoiding revolution;

* populations in denial about the Covid years today, because of the trauma-based mind control that was deployed, and why anamnesis is important to avoid being gaslit that it was “our fault”;

* academics like Neil Ferguson, who “fail up” for consistently getting things wrong — but it serves power;

* how high-tier administrators in the system have been induced to act as they do;

* de-bourgeoisification and an increasingly lop-sided oligarchical system in terminal decline;

* transhumanism, the Internet of BioNano Things, and the potential for human bodies to be turned into nodes on the control grid — the ultimate slavery system;

* the Internet of Everything — who controls it?;

* what was in the “Covid-19 vaccines”?

* the epistemological challenges of teasing out what is actually going on;

* Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, DOGE, and the technocratic capture of the US Government;

* dark magic; dark MAGA, and the Dark Enlightenment;

* Palantir;

* Trump, techno-populism, and deceiving the population to accept technocracy;

* the Biden psy-op to cause the public to lose faith in liberal democracy and the rationality of the system, as well as paving the way for the switch to Trump — but the technocratic agendas roll on regardless;

* Curtis Yarvin’s intellectually lousy work, which is now being used to legitimize technocracy, as well as what he calls “a humane alternative to genocide” (later endorsed by Yuval Noah Harari);

* the return of eugenics — one of many parallels between today’s world and 1930s Nazi Germany;

* good vs. evil, the Armour of God, and the number of Christians who stepped up in 2020.
