Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Tuesday's episode of Trending: The Politics of Denial when Americans stop seeing the warning signs, or rather they do see them but choose to ignore them.
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:23.280
Olympic sprinter, bedbound, 22 hours a day, blaming a former COVID infection that she didn't even know she had, so the media is pushing that propaganda train down the track.
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:36.240
Australian MP fights for life after being run down by, they say, an anti-Israeli climate fanatic and Kenyan cult leader guilty of ordering followers to starve their children to death.
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:38.719
So it's just another day in the madhouse then.
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.840
The politics of denial when Americans stop seeing the warning signs.
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.479
Now, this is an article by John Whitehead.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.880
You can find that at the Rutherford Institute.
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.079
You can also find it on iconic.com and davidycke.com.
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.679
Now, I was going to talk about obviously what's going on in France.
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.000
My brother covered that yesterday.
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:09.200
There are some elements that I wanted to go into in that that actually kind of come in, because everything's connected.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.719
They come into stories, including this one, but stories that I'm going to cover later on.
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.159
So I'm going to do that.
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.840
John Whitehead is a fantastic journalist, and he's definitely worth checking out.
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.239
He's very good on mainly on American politics, not just Trump.
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:27.920
This is what I like about John Whitehead.
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.840
He calls out everyone.
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.000
You know, it's not a partisan thing.
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:39.680
The article starts: you see them on the street, you watch them on the TV, you might even vote for one this fall.
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.359
You think they're people just like you.
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:42.799
You're wrong, dead wrong.
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:44.799
This is a quote from They Live.
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:52.400
Um, if you've not seen They Live, it's I mean it's dated because it's an old film, but it's definitely worth watching.
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.760
And um in many ways, it's almost like a documentary.
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:02.799
And actually, the the main actor who was a WWF wrestler, I know it's WWE, but I'm old school.
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.159
It was WWF then.
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.840
Um, Rowdy Roddy Piper, I think was his name.
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.879
He even described it as a documentary.
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:31.919
The spectacle of public executions, deadly military strikes on foreign countries, innocent civilians' lives lost to war, aggressive ice raids, government officials accused of using their powers to intimidate political opponents, public office increasingly entangled with private financial interests.
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:42.080
Government leaders who glorify violence, spew hatred, stir up racial prejudice, provoke civil unrest, and stoke discontent.
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.360
This is what it looks like when a nation loses its way.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:54.479
Yes, and all they had to do, as I've mentioned many times, to cut the balls off the resistance to most of this was to tell them that they'd won.
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.240
Because of course it's always different when it's your team doing it.
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.039
That's that's the the danger of tribalism.
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.039
And I've said for a while, because I've got no skin in the game with any politician, right?
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.479
I'm very consistent with that, and I'm all about equality.
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:10.560
I despise them all equally.
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:22.479
And so I can look at it, you know, without the tribal sunglasses on, the they live glasses.
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.439
I can look at it and go, right, that's wrong, that's wrong.
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.319
I don't care who's doing it, I care what's being done, right?
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:40.319
And I think Trump, obviously, the whole Trump train was about conning a lot of people that were actually waking up in many ways.
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:51.039
I think MAGA certainly has a grassroots movement, probably started off at I was gonna say organically, but nothing's really organic.
00:03:51.280 --> 00:04:00.879
But it started off with genuine people with genuine grievances, people that had realized that there's a uni party, doesn't matter who you vote for, government gets in all the rest of it.
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.360
That's why they get that's why they presented the outsider.
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.840
Not that Trump was ever an outsider, this is a guy that got bailed out by the Rothschilds for crying out loud.
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.080
But anyway, people seem to think that he was.
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:26.000
And so by doing that, by giving them the guy, you you neutered that growing group, very large growing group of people that were not liking the direction of travel and wanted something to change.
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:40.079
And so when I look at what Trump's done, and then I think, well, could you imagine the reaction to it from these people, large swathes of people, if it was Kamala who'd done it?
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.920
Because that's all we hear, isn't it?
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.399
Well, at least it wasn't her, you know.
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:48.639
He's dreadful, but at least he's not her dreadful.
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.040
They're the same dreadful.
00:04:52.079 --> 00:05:04.240
Um if she'd have gone into Iran and caused what's happening now with the Strait of

Hormoose and the rising fuel prices and um energy prices and food prices and the rest of it.
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.399
Could you imagine if she'd have done that?
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:13.920
Could you imagine if it was her messianic nutcase stood there instead of Pete Heggseth being Trump's messianic nutcase?
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.000
People would be calling it out.
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:25.600
And growing numbers are, but there's still, you know, quite a large pocket that are just doubling and tripling and quadrupling down because of that tribalism.
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:40.399
When cruelty is mistaken for courage, vengeance for justice, and the taking of human life for a demonstration of strength, when government officials tell you not to believe your own eyes and ears, don't they just, about the state of the world around you?
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:53.920
When they insist that the truth is a lie and the lie is the truth, you've stumbled into a dystopian reality in which, as John Lennon rightly concluded, the government is being run by maniacs for maniacal ends.
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.240
Yeah, but he's my maniac, isn't he?
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:58.240
Do you know what I mean?
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:05.600
And that's the thing, like, tribalism is a double-edged sword because by all means, find your tribe.
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:10.000
Like, that was a huge thing that was going on during the whole COVID nonsense.
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:14.720
It was people finding those that they aligned with, finding a tribe, that's it.
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:15.680
Find your tribe.
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:17.439
There's the protection in that.
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.399
And I get that, totally get that.
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:33.680
But when you'll look the other way at the actions of someone or a group of people because they're your tribe, that's a dark road, and it's a road that we're on at the moment.
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:53.920
When so-called Christians and self-professed defenders of morality insist that we must accept the lesser of two evils this is so key, based on exaggerated fears of what might happen if their political opponents gain power, rather than confront the abuses unfolding before our eyes.
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:58.160
Remember this the lesser of two evils is still evil.
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.800
Isn't it just but we've got the same here.
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.959
So this isn't just, you know, I mean, this article's about America because John Whitehead is American.
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:08.720
He's writing about American politics.
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.720
But we've got the same thing here in the United Kingdom, and you've got the same thing all over Europe.
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.040
You've got the same thing all over the world.
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.199
It's it's better to have the blue liar than have the red liar.
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.439
Or it's better to have the red war criminal than have the
blue war criminal.
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.959
Better to have the blue paedophile than the red paedophile.
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.600
And I I get it all the time, I hear it all the time.
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.600
But if we'd had if we if if Harris had got in, if Harris it'd be the same, mate.
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.480
It would be the same thing because they work for the same team.
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.720
They're wearing different coloured kits.
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:47.839
Or in fact, they're wearing not even that, they're wearing different coloured boots, maybe, different coloured football boots, so that you go, oh goodness me.
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:48.800
That's different.
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:50.480
No, they're not, mate.
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:57.439
Because if you want to march towards tyranny, which is exactly what we're doing, you need two legs to do that.
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:00.079
Otherwise you just hop in like a flamingo.
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:01.600
No one wants that.
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:08.560
So the right leg walks a bit, and then people push back eventually.
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:16.240
So then the left leg comes in, the left leg walks a little bit further, and then people eventually grow up air and push back against the left leg.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:17.920
Get the right leg back in.
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:19.759
Why was the right leg gonna do?
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:21.600
Is he gonna Oh it's gonna keep marching forward?
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:22.720
Yeah, of course it is.
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.319
This is not simply about Donald Trump, the article continues.
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:35.200
The machinery of the American police state has been assembled over decades under Republican and Democratic administrations alike.
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:54.000
Presidents have expanded executive authority, waged undeclared wars, authorized drone killings, built surveillance networks, militarized domestic policing, yes, they have, and that's happening across Europe as well, and invoked national security to justify extraordinary powers.
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.759
This was what I was going on in my show not last week, the week before.
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.919
How emergency powers are the key.
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.799
They use it to get everything through the door.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:11.120
And they and they can make in fact, they don't say they can use whatever emergency they want.
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.960
They don't even need to, they can just make them up.
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:17.039
Because it's a uni party.
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:21.200
And again, like I said before, this is what I like about John, because he's calling out both sides.
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.759
Because America is a uni party.
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:25.600
It's a one-party state.
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.639
Every nation is, and every nation has a uni party.
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.759
That's why nothing changes no matter who comes in.
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:36.879
Now you say that to people and they call you blackpilled and negnellies and oh, you know, whatever.
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:38.559
Just saying how it is.
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.399
It's neither negative nor positive.
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.320
It's just, it just is.
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.720
And the thing is, we used to know that about the the Uniparty and the one party state.
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:49.679
We used to know that.
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.360
They used to be accepted.
00:09:51.759 --> 00:10:01.440
And it was very much being pushed back against by the very people that they then corraled by giving them an outsider in Trump.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:08.480
And they'll do the same in um in the UK with people like Farage and others, the outsiders, independents.
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.639
They're different, then they're not.
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:12.559
No, they're not.
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.919
Because as soon as Trump came in as an outsider, suddenly everyone forgot about the uni party.
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:23.679
Suddenly it was even like people like Alex Jones, so-called alternative people, they started then turning, it's all the Democrats' fault.
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:25.200
It's all their fault.
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.240
You're all as bad as each other, mate.
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:41.360
What makes the present moment so troubling is the extent to which the public is encouraged to accept increasingly aggressive exercises of government power as necessary demonstrations of strength and resolve.
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.000
Yeah, because they were told they won.
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.759
So this is their guy, this is their savior, this is their messiah.
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:57.279
And they would rather double down on a psychopath, which is what Trump is, than admit they were wrong.
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:04.639
The Constitution was never intended to protect only the innocent, the popular, the patriotic, or the politically acceptable.
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:12.159
Its restraints on government power matter most when the government is dealing with people whom society has already condemned.
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:13.360
Yes.
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.240
And this is the point that I think relates to what's going on in France as well.
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:24.799
The ones that society has already condemned, put no skin in the game for them, couldn't care less.
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:33.200
They're the ones that they use to get things through the door and to get things normalized.
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:38.080
They target people or groups that no one's got any skin in the game for.
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:40.639
Because no one's gonna defend them.
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:42.240
Because why why would you?
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:51.759
Who's gonna defend in in the case of public executions by firing squad in the in the US, who's going to defend a guy that killed
a load of soldiers at Fort Hood?
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.360
No one's gonna defend that guy.
00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:55.759
I'm not I'm certainly not defending that guy.
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.919
But it doesn't stop with that guy.
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:09.039
And so how this relates to France is you've got these idiots on the streets setting fire to stuff, looting and whatever.
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:16.559
So then the French government can bring in more legislation to stop protest, emergency powers to stop protest.
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:27.039
These are protests that started off peaceful, by the way, and then the agent provocateurs come in, because that's what they do, and they're now calling for curfews and all sorts in France.
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.919
And people will go along with it because, well, yeah, do ban protest.
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:33.440
Because look at these thugs.
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:39.759
Yeah, but the ban of banning of protest doesn't stop with them, stops with you when you've got beef going forward.
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:55.120
And so because they know what's coming in terms of economic collapse and all the rest of it, they know there's going to be a lot of protests, they know there's going to be a lot of people on the streets, they know there's going to be a lot of civil unrest.
00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:12.960
And so what they're doing is I think they're either creating or stoking to expand trouble so that they can bring in emergency powers and emergency legislation to crack down on it in advance for what they know is coming.
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:27.519
And the other thing, in terms of what's happening in France, is they've got the added little bonus, the Great Reset Club, of these people torching and destroying historical monuments and landmarks, places like Paris.
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:32.559
Because they're marching us to the road of year zero, Great Reset, start again.
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:34.480
Don't need remnants of the past.
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:41.360
So we see it's why we see so many historical buildings suddenly going up in flames in the last couple of decades.
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:44.000
So they've got an added little bonus on that one.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:50.320
But in this instance in the US, like I say, it doesn't stop with this guy.
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.200
This public execution doesn't stop with him.
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.120
Suddenly it becomes a regular occurrence.
00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:58.720
Do you know what I mean?
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:00.799
There's a public execution on Saturday.
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:02.720
Oh, get the pizzas in then.
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:08.960
And in the end, they come for all of us.
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.080
That's the point.
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:14.480
They use people that you don't have any skin in the game for to bring in the legislation.
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.559
That's why it's important to defend it.
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:21.759
I don't defend this guy, but I don't defend public executions.
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:23.200
I think that's abhorrent.
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:25.120
And it's a slippery slope.
00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:28.000
Same goes with freedom of speech.
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:29.360
It's something I've been saying for ages.
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.799
It's really easy to fight for the freedom of speech of someone you agree with.
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:33.679
That's a piece of cake.
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:34.960
They're your team, right?
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.200
It's fighting for the freedom of speech of those that you disagree with.
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.360
That's the key.
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.399
Because once freedom of speech goes, it goes for everyone.
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:53.600
We've got a case in the UK at the moment of a of a Palestinian-British doctor who's a surgeon who's been struck off and all sorts, and she's now being debanked.
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:57.759
All these banks are are debanking and she's not allowed to get a bank account.
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.120
Because of her anti-Israel stance, which is understandable, she's Palestinian for crying out loud.
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.320
I can see why they've got a problem with Israel.
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.519
And people are celebrating it, saying, good.
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:22.480
And you're like, even if you don't agree with her politics, the normalization of debanking and all that rest of it, just for words, you don't think they're going to come for you in the end, mate?
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.399
That's all you're guaranteeing.
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.679
By cheering on someone I think it was Ricky Gervais said it.
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:35.360
If you're cheering on the cancellation of someone today, all you're guaranteeing is your cancellation tomorrow.
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:46.320
And that's why it's so important to defend freedom of speech and and and and and to call out what's happening, even if it's your team doing it.
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.279
Like I don't believe in politics, I don't believe in party politics.
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.399
But what I do think you could do is a quick fix.
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:59.440
I mean, one, the main one, when someone says something on the campaign trail, when they get in, they have to do it by law.
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:04.559
I mean, that would be a start, as opposed to now where I can say I can give you whatever.
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.360
If you vote for me, I'll give you$5,000 each.
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:09.519
It's not bound to do it.
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:11.200
It won't do it.
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:13.279
That would be a big one.
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:25.440
The other one would be if people started calling out good things that the opposition did, and good things that your team does, and calling out bad things that the opposition does, and bad things that your team does.
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:28.720
That'd be a start if everyone held them to account, no matter who it was.
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.279
But they don't do that.
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:30.000
They just look the other way.
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:31.279
And both sides are guilty of it.
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.679
This article even says it's not just about Trump.
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.200
It's the same for both sides.
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.759
And it's how we get marched down the road to tyranny.
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:38.720
And it's happening all over.
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:40.879
It's happening in Europe, everywhere.
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:44.799
It's a very good article.
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.759
Um, and of course, it it it it you know it it goes on.
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:53.759
It's definitely worth a read if you go to the Rutherford, I think it's rutherfordinstitute.org, or it might just be rutherford.org.
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.480
Um, and of course, iconic.com is on there as well.
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:58.960
Don't mention the reptiles, Dave.
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:04.640
Even less is said about the Grey Pope, which some believe to be the true ruling power in the Vatican.
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:06.640
Humans are missing a massads.
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.200
All of them had political signals.
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:10.640
I've never seen it before.
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:12.880
It's a transition natural.
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.359
This is the ultimate suicide.
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:20.079
What if the symbols around us every day are just ornamental?
00:17:20.319 --> 00:17:21.119
We lost a thousand.
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:23.279
What if their instructions?
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:27.519
Is not manipulatable.
