- 0:00Speaker 1: H h.
- 0:38Speaker 2: It's been I want to say, about two years. So
- 0:42Speaker 2: when you and our lost chatted Robin, I didn't have
- 0:44Speaker 2: a child. I now have a child. He's a beautiful
- 0:51Speaker 2: little boy, and he's unvaccinated.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Well I would expect that, and that's that's in a way,
- 0:59Speaker 1: in a way, the fact that we've gone through all
- 1:02Speaker 1: this awakening. Now, I wouldn't have done it to my
- 1:06Speaker 1: children if I knew all this. But obviously at the
- 1:08Speaker 1: time a lot of us still trusted the narrative, you know,
- 1:13Speaker 1: to some extent.
- 1:15Speaker 2: But I mean, with that in mind, knowing what you
- 1:18Speaker 2: know now, would you go back to twenty nineteen.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Well, in some funny ways, I think now, maybe more
- 1:31Speaker 1: than any other time, I think it's a little bit
- 1:34Speaker 1: of a deja vous because I'm feeling again that we
- 1:39Speaker 1: are living in a situation where some of us have
- 1:42Speaker 1: a sense of another impending restriction which is leaked to
- 1:48Speaker 1: you know, the digital grid. But there's a feeling that
- 1:52Speaker 1: a whole chunk of society, possibly the majority, probably the
- 1:56Speaker 1: majority instead is again just trusting whatever is given to them.
- 2:03Speaker 1: And so I feel in a way it's a good
- 2:06Speaker 1: time to talk again also because I feel again we're
- 2:09Speaker 1: in the same shoes, and I have got the same thoughts,
- 2:12Speaker 1: which is, how do you how do you talk to
- 2:15Speaker 1: these those people and not let them see you as
- 2:18Speaker 1: some kind of paranoid conspiracy theory when you say, you know,
- 2:22Speaker 1: be careful, when you just do whatever you're told to do.
- 2:25Speaker 1: In terms of you know, your digital identity in relation
- 2:30Speaker 1: to the government, when they say things like you've got
- 2:34Speaker 1: to do this thing online, you've got to do a selfie,
- 2:36Speaker 1: you've got to get your biometric link to your you
- 2:39Speaker 1: know whatever it is that they want to your email, and.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Again it seems a little bit.
- 2:46Speaker 1: Difficult to just say, well, look, I've got a passport,
- 2:50Speaker 1: I've got a driving license, I can walk in to
- 2:53Speaker 1: an office like an account or whatever. Say that's all
- 2:56Speaker 1: you should need. And when they say no, no, no, this
- 2:59Speaker 1: has to go through the digital route. When you say
- 3:02Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, we shouldn't be able
- 3:04Speaker 1: to we shouldn't need to do that, you looked at
- 3:07Speaker 1: as if you're crazy, again, because you're the only person
- 3:10Speaker 1: probably that has said, look, I'm not I think it
- 3:13Speaker 1: should be enough for me to show up with a passport.
- 3:16Speaker 1: So it's similar in that respect, which is like, so
- 3:20Speaker 1: Why are you kicking up this big fast?
- 3:22Speaker 3: Why you?
- 3:24Speaker 1: And again it's like, how do you say it is
- 3:27Speaker 1: some people that you know, potentially we are all in
- 3:31Speaker 1: danger if this goes through very quickly, because then they
- 3:34Speaker 1: can do a twenty nineteen in a much more you know,
- 3:39Speaker 1: in a much more ruthless way where you get cut
- 3:41Speaker 1: out of your bank account instantly. As soon as you say, well, actually,
- 3:44Speaker 1: I've got doubts about the face mask.
- 3:46Speaker 2: You know, your concern is precisely the same as my concern.
- 3:51Speaker 2: I have noticed what looks like the opposite of a reawakening.
- 3:57Speaker 2: What would that be going back into a slum? But
- 4:01Speaker 2: so many it's weird, and I don't understand how people
- 4:04Speaker 2: can just do that. I mean, have they forgotten what
- 4:07Speaker 2: happened in twenty twenty? It's crazy.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Yes, I think they have.
- 4:10Speaker 3: I think they have replaced it.
- 4:12Speaker 1: They have replaced it in their minds, or they have
- 4:16Speaker 1: the sort of the big pandemic narrative. It happened, it
- 4:19Speaker 1: happens every one hundred years. It was nineteen eighteen. Now
- 4:22Speaker 1: it was our turn.
- 4:24Speaker 3: It's a history.
- 4:25Speaker 1: There was a black death, and so it just sort
- 4:27Speaker 1: of it's put in a memory hole in a box,
- 4:30Speaker 1: and then it's like everything is back to the same.
- 4:34Speaker 1: And then if you say, well what about what about
- 4:37Speaker 1: nine to eleven?
- 4:39Speaker 3: What about you know.
- 4:40Speaker 1: It's still like everything. I think maybe it's like must
- 4:43Speaker 1: be sort of human psychology. You just want to go
- 4:46Speaker 1: down your own path, think that all these things happen
- 4:48Speaker 1: to other people, it's got nothing to do with you.
- 4:52Speaker 1: But now we are again at a time where it
- 4:56Speaker 1: is to do with all of us, and so in
- 5:00Speaker 1: respects again, I feel like it's not really about being
- 5:06Speaker 1: afraid of you know, the sort of palenteer Peter thal,
- 5:12Speaker 1: Bill Gates. I mean, those they're very few. Those people
- 5:15Speaker 1: are very few. The problem is everyone else who goes
- 5:17Speaker 1: along with whatever, you know, Larry Ellison or Larry Thing.
- 5:21Speaker 1: The problem is everyone who goes along with it. That's
- 5:24Speaker 1: our real problem, and that can happen under governments of
- 5:30Speaker 1: any color or you know.
- 5:32Speaker 3: It's really about the people.
- 5:34Speaker 1: So once again I find that if we're able to
- 5:37Speaker 1: break the cultural barriers on this, if we're able to
- 5:42Speaker 1: ask questions, to say, hold on a minute, what happened
- 5:45Speaker 1: to the old sort of identify myself by having like
- 5:48Speaker 1: just walking in an office with a passport and someone
- 5:50Speaker 1: saying yes, I can looking at it saying yes, it's you.
- 5:54Speaker 1: The passport looks authentic, and that's it. What happened to that?
- 5:58Speaker 1: Why do we have to do it in a different way,
- 6:00Speaker 1: and why are we not allowed? And how do we
- 6:02Speaker 1: get this through? How do we make it seem that
- 6:05Speaker 1: it actually it's a little bit crazy that you can't
- 6:07Speaker 1: do that anymore.
- 6:08Speaker 3: You can't just say it's.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Me here, I am and this is my document and
- 6:14Speaker 1: that's enough. Why can't you know, how can we communicate that?
- 6:18Speaker 1: It's not a normal situation where a government tells you
- 6:22Speaker 1: that's not good enough anymore. It's been good enough since
- 6:25Speaker 1: the invention of documents, and now something it isn't.
- 6:29Speaker 2: And it gets worse when you're on the internet. When
- 6:32Speaker 2: you go to a website it asks you are you human?
- 6:37Speaker 1: Yeah, well but that is actually a you're actually training AI.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Did you know that when you do that? Yeah?
- 6:46Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to you have to find you have
- 6:48Speaker 2: to find like the fire hydrant.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's basically telling AI this is like what
- 6:54Speaker 1: you know, what fire are hydrants? Or what motorcycles? So
- 6:58Speaker 1: you're training them for free.
- 7:00Speaker 3: So that's just.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Another scam that are you human? You're basically training them
- 7:04Speaker 1: to recognize things.
- 7:07Speaker 2: So I think it was I think it was Mattias
- 7:10Speaker 2: Desmet who back in twenty twenty one he brought out
- 7:18Speaker 2: or twenty twenty two when he brought out his book
- 7:20Speaker 2: about totalitarianism, and he said that approximately thirty percent of
- 7:25Speaker 2: people at any given stage or time will be awake,
- 7:31Speaker 2: so to speak, which is precisely what you said. You
- 7:34Speaker 2: said the majority, and basically it will always be around
- 7:39Speaker 2: three people out of ten who will kind of see
- 7:41Speaker 2: through all this nonsense. And I've always wondered why that is,
- 7:44Speaker 2: And I know you don't know the answer. It's more
- 7:46Speaker 2: of a rhetorical question, but it is a very fascinating
- 7:49Speaker 2: psychological observation. Why is it always the minority? And why
- 7:55Speaker 2: is it you? And why is it me? How how
- 7:58Speaker 2: are we able to see it so many people who
- 8:01Speaker 2: we know didn't see it and still don't see it.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Well, I think that's that's in a way that ash
- 8:08Speaker 1: conformity experiments where five people are put in a room,
- 8:12Speaker 1: they're shown a set of lines. One is obviously longer
- 8:16Speaker 1: than the others, and they say which one line is
- 8:18Speaker 1: sort of longer, which one is shorter? And then you
- 8:22Speaker 1: know you have a specific answer in your mind, and
- 8:24Speaker 1: then the three people before you say a different one,
- 8:28Speaker 1: and you know you say something, then the fourth one says, oh,
- 8:31Speaker 1: they all say the wrong answer. At some stage after
- 8:33Speaker 1: I think, is it three questions? You just start to
- 8:36Speaker 1: go along with what they say, So I think it's not.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I think it's probably if if we were to rephrase
- 8:42Speaker 1: it is if it is three out of ten. I
- 8:44Speaker 1: think with this digitality, it's it's a slightly different situation.
- 8:48Speaker 1: But I think if if it was three out of ten,
- 8:50Speaker 1: it's just that three people actually want to think through
- 8:53Speaker 1: it and seven just want to go along with with
- 8:56Speaker 1: not having any problems on a society level, because they're
- 9:00Speaker 1: just sort of, you know, they're cruising through their life
- 9:05Speaker 1: socially and they don't want to wrap rustle anyone's feathers.
- 9:08Speaker 1: So I think it would be it would probably be
- 9:10Speaker 1: the only thing you want to think using their own head,
- 9:13Speaker 1: and the other ones just want to go along. But
- 9:17Speaker 1: I think this is slightly more insidious because if you
- 9:19Speaker 1: were to ask anyone do you like digitally, probably most
- 9:23Speaker 1: people say no. But then if you say would you rather,
- 9:27Speaker 1: would you go through the repercussions of not doing it
- 9:33Speaker 1: if you were you know, if you were told that
- 9:36Speaker 1: you need to do it to hear in the UK
- 9:38Speaker 1: is like to be a company director, like, you know,
- 9:41Speaker 1: would you be ready to see what happens, you know,
- 9:43Speaker 1: possibly even getting issues with your work or you know,
- 9:48Speaker 1: things like that.
- 9:48Speaker 3: People would say no, no, I'll do it because it's no
- 9:50Speaker 3: big deal.
- 9:51Speaker 1: So's it's a sense that theoretically speaking, everyone is against,
- 9:56Speaker 1: but in practice everyone thinks it's not a big deal.
- 10:00Speaker 3: They just want to go ahead with it.
- 10:02Speaker 1: And just linking the theory and practice here is it's
- 10:06Speaker 1: probably those three out of ten, and maybe it's even
- 10:08Speaker 1: less who are linking the two who are saying okay.
- 10:10Speaker 3: So on one level, I don't like it.
- 10:12Speaker 1: On another level, I'm doing it all the time. I'm
- 10:17Speaker 1: doing it for every single purchase, for every single government.
- 10:20Speaker 1: And you know, one thing is like, look, I don't
- 10:22Speaker 1: care about my relationship with an online shopper. You know,
- 10:26Speaker 1: I can just you know, change it tomorrow. But the
- 10:29Speaker 1: other thing is that relationship with the government. You can't
- 10:32Speaker 1: really change it tomorrow. So once you're in, you're in.
- 10:36Speaker 2: But it's not just the government, Robin, it's also the
- 10:38Speaker 2: private sector. I mean this is what a public private
- 10:40Speaker 2: partnership is. They work together and that makes it really
- 10:44Speaker 2: really difficult for us.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. That's the other That's the other.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Approach, which is more the American approach now with Apple
- 10:55Speaker 1: doing the Apple Digital d so you can fly just
- 10:57Speaker 1: with your Apple phone throughout the or the use. So
- 11:00Speaker 1: that's it's coming in. It's again these kind of slightly
- 11:04Speaker 1: different approaches, but in one sense with the corporate one
- 11:10Speaker 1: again it sort of gets people subtly to get in.
- 11:14Speaker 1: But maybe I feel like you could you could oppose.
- 11:18Speaker 1: It's like when it was with the twenty nineteen. You
- 11:21Speaker 1: can decide not to go to that establishment where they're
- 11:23Speaker 1: going to be really really strict about the regulations. But
- 11:27Speaker 1: I think with the government it's slightly trickier because you
- 11:30Speaker 1: do have to.
- 11:31Speaker 3: Work with them.
- 11:32Speaker 1: If you are living in any country in some form
- 11:36Speaker 1: or the other at some stage in your life anyway,
- 11:39Speaker 1: especially if you're run running a business. I'm not willing
- 11:44Speaker 1: to leave the whole cultural field to the you know,
- 11:49Speaker 1: the machine. I'm not willing to do that. And although
- 11:56Speaker 1: I'm willing to step away.
- 11:58Speaker 3: From the club because they're all kind of clubs and.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Say, look, you know you don't want to have any
- 12:04Speaker 1: I know you don't want to have anything to do
- 12:05Speaker 1: with me because I oppose, you know, lockdowns, opposed vaccines,
- 12:09Speaker 1: I oppose the man made climate catastrophe narrative, and those
- 12:16Speaker 1: are all big no nos. So I know you don't
- 12:18Speaker 1: want to have anything to do with me. But I
- 12:20Speaker 1: still want to participate in the cultural field on my
- 12:26Speaker 1: own terms and the terms of people that I feel
- 12:29Speaker 1: are more on the right track. So it is a
- 12:33Speaker 1: bit of a battle, but I think it is you
- 12:36Speaker 1: know that My point is that this is an important
- 12:38Speaker 1: battle because that is potentially the area that swings things.
- 12:42Speaker 1: You know, it's done it before. Underground culture has done
- 12:45Speaker 1: it before. Initially it's a few people that at that time,
- 12:49Speaker 1: you know, if at that time they're seen as a
- 12:52Speaker 1: dangerous minority, an under dangerous underground.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Culture, and usually it used to be youth.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Now it's sort of youth not necessarily that were represented
- 13:03Speaker 1: in the in the Awakening back. It's done it before.
- 13:07Speaker 1: So the group starts to produce things which are then
- 13:10Speaker 1: they then seem cool because they're against the grain, they're
- 13:12Speaker 1: against the sort of the average mediocre production of that time,
- 13:19Speaker 1: and they're quite cool and that kind of coolness becomes attractive,
- 13:22Speaker 1: it becomes exciting, and then suddenly the whole masses want
- 13:26Speaker 1: to be that and they start dressing like them, they
- 13:29Speaker 1: start listening.
- 13:30Speaker 3: So I don't think this.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Has happened yet on our side, but I don't think
- 13:35Speaker 1: we should underestimate that that is potentially like one of
- 13:39Speaker 1: the strongest areas to to use if we can to
- 13:44Speaker 1: our advantage at least to claw back some territory.
- 13:49Speaker 3: And you know the reason. The reason is.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Probably quite basic, which is that again the ash experiments conformity.
- 13:57Speaker 1: At least in the UK, everyone in Dads is glued
- 14:01Speaker 1: to like the Guardian. That's the only thing they read.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Everything else is sort of the enemy's news, you know,
- 14:07Speaker 1: like X is like you know X. You don't even
- 14:09Speaker 1: talk about X. It's like just and you know, telegram.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Telegram is some weirds, you know, Russian paddle door of
- 14:16Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists and exes like Elon Musk who's now now
- 14:20Speaker 1: the demon because he helped Tramp. So you just go
- 14:24Speaker 1: to this Guardian world or Instagram where everything is kind
- 14:27Speaker 1: of phased out and then you see what's what what
- 14:30Speaker 1: do other people say?
- 14:31Speaker 3: And you just go along with it.
- 14:34Speaker 1: To the point that actually I went I was at
- 14:37Speaker 1: I went with to lunch with Eric on on Monday,
- 14:42Speaker 1: I think last week, and and I think went into
- 14:47Speaker 1: a very nice restaurant. But you know, he was I
- 14:50Speaker 1: think he noticed that when he came in, even before me,
- 14:52Speaker 1: and then I noticed I'm not sure they were that
- 14:54Speaker 1: happy that we were there they knew who he was.
- 14:58Speaker 3: I don't know if they knew.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Who I was, but I got the sense that you
- 15:02Speaker 1: kind of have a sense where the other times people
- 15:05Speaker 1: look very.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Excited that you know, Eric will walk in, but I almost.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Had a sense and it was a very cool place
- 15:10Speaker 1: young so I almost got the sense they meant maybe
- 15:13Speaker 1: still on the on the program, which is that for
- 15:17Speaker 1: some reason, someone who spoke about his the deterioration of
- 15:22Speaker 1: his condition, his physical condition after the the astrogenica in
- 15:30Speaker 1: check vaccine, who talked about it publicly to me.
- 15:35Speaker 3: On on on paper, on.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Camera, is somehow condemned by that kind of media, that
- 15:44Speaker 1: kind of world at that time. And then obviously they
- 15:48Speaker 1: have not thought it through. They just think, Okay, you
- 15:50Speaker 1: are associated to this and that, And I think there's
- 15:55Speaker 1: there's still a lot of that going on, a lot
- 15:57Speaker 1: of like but Hold on a minute, but have you
- 15:59Speaker 1: thought through you're thinking that someone who's talking about their
- 16:03Speaker 1: own experience ex medical experience is somehow not is somehow
- 16:09Speaker 1: a bad person.
- 16:09Speaker 4: It's like.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Because again the group think, the group thing is still
- 16:15Speaker 1: is still quite strong. But as you said, I think
- 16:18Speaker 1: people don't want to don't really want to go there.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Like before, at the time, you felt people were fighting you.
- 16:23Speaker 1: They were like, you know, you said something, they would
- 16:26Speaker 1: just jump at you at the moment. If we say
- 16:29Speaker 1: anything about that, it's just going to be total silence.
- 16:31Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 16:32Speaker 4: Fine, have you noticed what's funny?
- 16:35Speaker 2: In two everybody spoke about getting jabbed, and they were
- 16:41Speaker 2: very open about being vaccinated. Now, if you ask anything
- 16:46Speaker 2: to do with the COVID jab it's like, it's my
- 16:49Speaker 2: right to say nothing. Who are you to ask me
- 16:52Speaker 2: questions like that?
- 16:55Speaker 3: Yeah, so I had also stopped, but now there's been
- 16:58Speaker 3: you know, the I think the.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Worth of Craig. I think she's doing a court case,
- 17:04Speaker 1: perhaps because of the UK Health Agency not releasing the
- 17:09Speaker 1: data that would indicate whether there is some kind of
- 17:13Speaker 1: correlation between the time of injection of the COVID injections
- 17:20Speaker 1: and excess deaths. They used to publish this data, and
- 17:25Speaker 1: then suddenly they stopped. And now this data would be
- 17:29Speaker 1: quite important to show whether there is a correlation whether
- 17:32Speaker 1: after people get injected there's more deaths. After people got
- 17:38Speaker 1: injected actually say that they were more deaths, and so
- 17:41Speaker 1: now they have pressed the government for that and they said, no,
- 17:46Speaker 1: we're not releasing this data because it could upset people
- 17:49Speaker 1: if they were to sort of see some potential link
- 17:52Speaker 1: between the two that you know, it's like it's against
- 17:55Speaker 1: the interest of the public, because the public, so it
- 17:57Speaker 1: could destabilize the public.
- 17:59Speaker 3: That's your thing.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Answer, But that's been published on the Daily Telegraph. Now
- 18:05Speaker 1: none of the artists are going to go and look
- 18:07Speaker 1: at that because it's not on the Guardian. None of
- 18:09Speaker 1: the sort of creative to look at that. But still
- 18:12Speaker 1: I'm sharing that. I'm sharing it again. And if I
- 18:14Speaker 1: share something like that a few years ago, I would
- 18:17Speaker 1: get like hounded by all.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Of these comments and all of these things.
- 18:22Speaker 1: And now there's just complete total silence from the other side.
- 18:29Speaker 1: So so yeah, so it's either removed for psychological reasons
- 18:35Speaker 1: or again it's not the sense there on the weak side,
- 18:38Speaker 1: So they're just not not going to show up because
- 18:43Speaker 1: it's sort of they could what they say could be
- 18:46Speaker 1: interpreted as they become conspiracy theorists.
- 18:50Speaker 3: By the way, I don't know if you've seen it yet,
- 18:51Speaker 3: but there's a good take on this.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Whether it's I think it may be conscious in the film,
- 18:57Speaker 1: the latest film by Lanti Moscowed Bougonia. No, I don't
- 19:01Speaker 1: think it's not sure if it's out yet, but I
- 19:04Speaker 1: think it's what it's worth a watch because at the beginning,
- 19:09Speaker 1: you I didn't know what was going to happen. I'm
- 19:10Speaker 1: not going to say the plot, but the main character
- 19:14Speaker 1: Emma Stone, she's the head of a kind of big
- 19:17Speaker 1: farmer company. And then you've got two people who are
- 19:23Speaker 1: like conspiracy theorists, and they are the exact stereotype of
- 19:27Speaker 1: the conspiracy theorists living in his man's basement and.
- 19:32Speaker 4: Aut I'm having a quickly carry on b U g
- 19:38Speaker 4: U N I A.
- 19:39Speaker 1: And so you've got these conspiracy theorists and they are
- 19:42Speaker 1: the exact sort of kind of archetype of the of
- 19:45Speaker 1: the sort of dispreduative view of conspiracy theorists that are
- 19:49Speaker 1: not doing anything with their lives that totally removed from rationality,
- 19:53Speaker 1: you know, So you stick through all of that, and
- 19:57Speaker 1: and I had asked sort of people who had seen it,
- 20:02Speaker 1: like people who are probably not awake about what it's on,
- 20:04Speaker 1: and they said, oh, it's just really mad, it's really crazy.
- 20:07Speaker 1: And then I watched it and it's a little bit
- 20:10Speaker 1: painful when you see these stereotypes. But then there's a
- 20:13Speaker 1: twist at the end, which I'm not going to say,
- 20:17Speaker 1: but the twist at the end in a way makes
- 20:20Speaker 1: you wonder whether that was all intentional to take people
- 20:24Speaker 1: to this place of comfort of their views and then
- 20:27Speaker 1: just to turn.
- 20:28Speaker 3: It upside down at their end.
- 20:30Speaker 1: So a normal person will say it is just a
- 20:32Speaker 1: mad film, but someone who's been living through twenty nineteen
- 20:36Speaker 1: to now says, well, that's a very clever way of
- 20:39Speaker 1: planting that message at a subconscious level in the majority
- 20:44Speaker 1: of the population, because this is going to be a
- 20:47Speaker 1: very very popular film, and that is like, in a way,
- 20:51Speaker 1: you want to do it with what people realizing what
- 20:53Speaker 1: you're doing. And I think they succeeded that. Now I
- 20:56Speaker 1: suspect the very clever and it's intentional, But sometimes if
- 20:59Speaker 1: they even happen at other levels that people start to
- 21:03Speaker 1: show messages because they're channeling something bigger. They may not
- 21:07Speaker 1: even be aware, but I think they're clever enough to
- 21:09Speaker 1: have had.
- 21:10Speaker 4: This is true.
- 21:11Speaker 2: This is a very very good observation that you made,
- 21:14Speaker 2: because it's exactly the same observation that I made about
- 21:17Speaker 2: an Apple movie. So I have been wondering, Robin, if
- 21:22Speaker 2: there are people like us quote unquote in Hollywood who
- 21:27Speaker 2: are too afraid to speak out because of what the
- 21:29Speaker 2: way Hollywood is, and the only way they can do
- 21:32Speaker 2: it is why as you say, planting seeds.
- 21:37Speaker 1: And especially if it can challenge Yeah, this is I
- 21:41Speaker 1: mean in a way, this is what especially in the seventies,
- 21:44Speaker 1: which was a time of similar time to the high inflation,
- 21:49Speaker 1: basically you know, the valuing of currencies. There was also
- 21:53Speaker 1: you know, friends of mine reminded me in Italy that
- 21:57Speaker 1: there was a lockdown. People don't remember it, but there
- 21:59Speaker 1: was a national lockdown to save petrol, to save gas
- 22:03Speaker 1: because of the oil gas crisis. So people were told
- 22:07Speaker 1: by the government you shouldn't be driving. So we already
- 22:11Speaker 1: had lockdowns in that respect. Again we forgot. But you know,
- 22:16Speaker 1: you had films like Soil and Green, You had a
- 22:19Speaker 1: lot of sort of sci fis which were really kind
- 22:21Speaker 1: of scratching the surface of what was really happening, and
- 22:24Speaker 1: that was you know, a lot of them were American,
- 22:26Speaker 1: some of them are sort of Hollywood related. So there
- 22:29Speaker 1: is a history of trying to get this through to
- 22:31Speaker 1: the masses in.
- 22:32Speaker 3: This kind of way. And I think in a way that's.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Where you succeed through film and music that go that
- 22:41Speaker 1: it's not only watched by that three out of ten,
- 22:44Speaker 1: but it ends up being watched by those seven out
- 22:47Speaker 1: of ten, and that's where the ideas are formed and
- 22:51Speaker 1: created that can actually swing this. And I think in
- 22:54Speaker 1: a way when I say this, I mean, I know
- 22:58Speaker 1: you're sort of quite artistically minded as well, But when
- 23:02Speaker 1: I say to people who are not, I can get
- 23:04Speaker 1: different responses. One of them may be just sort of
- 23:08Speaker 1: total black. They don't really see how this has anything
- 23:13Speaker 1: to do with anything. This is just sort of in
- 23:15Speaker 1: a way kind of decoration and the real issue instead
- 23:19Speaker 1: is like political and this has got nothing to do
- 23:21Speaker 1: with anything. And then the other one is there's a
- 23:24Speaker 1: sort of slight tap on the back, like well done
- 23:27Speaker 1: for doing that, but there's no support or understanding. Now
- 23:31Speaker 1: I've been you know, as I've worked sort of in
- 23:34Speaker 1: the arts all my life. I've seen instead what happens
- 23:39Speaker 1: when you do something which reinforces the other view, which
- 23:44Speaker 1: at this you know, at some stage people called the left.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Now we know it's not the left, but you know,
- 23:51Speaker 1: let's let's let's say it was. When anyone does anything
- 23:55Speaker 1: which is slightly, even slightly political, on that side, you
- 23:58Speaker 1: get so much support. You get people really, everyone really
- 24:02Speaker 1: supporting you, everyone helping you out, and whatever you produce
- 24:06Speaker 1: is gonna be amplified like a million times because it's
- 24:10Speaker 1: got a slight political edge. But on our side of
- 24:13Speaker 1: the fence, you don't get anything. And I think that's
- 24:18Speaker 1: one of the biggest weakness on our side. Wouldn't call
- 24:20Speaker 1: it right or left. I would call it awake and asleep,
- 24:24Speaker 1: you know, sort of the the sleep that thinks think
- 24:27Speaker 1: they are awake because they support the alleged fate left.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Whatever they do gets helped by all their peers, all
- 24:37Speaker 1: the industry, all the public figures, all the influencers and
- 24:41Speaker 1: all that because they feel they're sharing some kind of
- 24:44Speaker 1: political angle.
- 24:45Speaker 3: We share a political angle.
- 24:47Speaker 1: You and I do something a cartoon, a song, a
- 24:51Speaker 1: field or something like that, and you just get a
- 24:53Speaker 1: mild yeah, well done.
- 24:55Speaker 3: That's it.
- 24:57Speaker 1: That's not gonna that's not gonna be enough to and
- 25:00Speaker 1: unstart what they're doing. That's what, that's what. That's kind
- 25:03Speaker 1: of what my point is. So if we are not,
- 25:05Speaker 1: if it's not making a difference, partially it's to do
- 25:08Speaker 1: because we're not supporting each other, and all we're supporting
- 25:11Speaker 1: is one form of cultural production which is important, which
- 25:15Speaker 1: is the podcast and the podcast of I don't know
- 25:19Speaker 1: Canda Owans or Joe Rogan or attack of Council. But
- 25:25Speaker 1: the other side, the non awake, are never gonna watch
- 25:28Speaker 1: any of that. They're gonna see Canders Sownans, they're gonna
- 25:31Speaker 1: switch it off. They're gonna see Joe Rogan. They're gonna
- 25:33Speaker 1: think it's a devil. They can see Atacker Calis and
- 25:35Speaker 1: they're gonna think no way. So it's not going to
- 25:38Speaker 1: cross the boundary. It's going to do a lot for
- 25:39Speaker 1: our side, for people who aren't decided, but it's not
- 25:43Speaker 1: going to be so broad. And when we do things
- 25:46Speaker 1: that potentially could be broad, we don't get any support
- 25:49Speaker 1: from our from our own side, which I think is
- 25:53Speaker 1: a biggest weakness and partially maybe related to this very
- 25:58Speaker 1: analytical mind, because at some stage we figured out intuitively
- 26:02Speaker 1: that we've been taken for a ride, you know, in
- 26:05Speaker 1: nineteen nine, eleven, twenty, nineteen, twenty twenty. But then what
- 26:11Speaker 1: really confirmed this was the analytical mind that started looking, Okay,
- 26:15Speaker 1: what happened in history? What happened at that building? What
- 26:17Speaker 1: happened we do fake? How big are if viruses? If
- 26:21Speaker 1: viruses are are what is transmitted? How big are they?
- 26:25Speaker 3: What help? What's the whole? What's the gap in a mask?
- 26:28Speaker 3: How is this replication?
- 26:29Speaker 5: You know?
- 26:30Speaker 1: What is the sort of what is it called the
- 26:34Speaker 1: sort of the death rate of flu? What is the
- 26:36Speaker 1: death rate of the hold on a minute, there's not
- 26:39Speaker 1: a huge difference. What age do people that? Oh they
- 26:42Speaker 1: die when they're one or two years higher than the
- 26:45Speaker 1: average death rate in that part. So you start to
- 26:48Speaker 1: figure out analytically. And the problem is that that analytical mind,
- 26:52Speaker 1: what we've seen is whenever you present it to someone
- 26:54Speaker 1: who isn't emotionally ready, it's just going to be blank.
- 26:58Speaker 1: So we only convinced ourselves ultimately, and the other mind
- 27:03Speaker 1: is the other mind can do more. So on one level,
- 27:07Speaker 1: what I'm saying to myself is like, if I don't know,
- 27:10Speaker 1: if I'm gonna have to be living like this for
- 27:12Speaker 1: the rest of my life, in this state of constant
- 27:15Speaker 1: you know, kind of objection to increasing tyranny, or if
- 27:20Speaker 1: at some stage it's going to be so bad I
- 27:21Speaker 1: won't be able to speak. But for as long as
- 27:23Speaker 1: I can speak, I'd like to do it with a
- 27:26Speaker 1: slight with a slight smile on my face, maybe even
- 27:30Speaker 1: if it's dark humor, to enjoy it to some extent,
- 27:33Speaker 1: because otherwise you're going to end up getting diseases. If
- 27:37Speaker 1: you're always stressed up, get disease. And part of the
- 27:39Speaker 1: enjoyment is to make it a little bit creative and
- 27:42Speaker 1: not to be that face which says, it's all guys,
- 27:45Speaker 1: it's happening. The moment that I've been talking to you
- 27:48Speaker 1: about is happening now, and we have to resist the fact.
- 27:51Speaker 3: We all know that.
- 27:52Speaker 1: But how do you have a good life, enjoy your life,
- 27:56Speaker 1: but at the same time create as many problems as
- 27:59Speaker 1: you can for the a side with a smile on
- 28:01Speaker 1: your face. That's what That's how I would like to
- 28:03Speaker 1: do it.
- 28:04Speaker 2: You've just created my segue. So you speaking of creativity
- 28:08Speaker 2: and entertainment and with a smile on your face, you
- 28:11Speaker 2: sent me two videos which I'm very happy to play.
- 28:15Speaker 2: I'm pretty certain that they're not going to get flagged
- 28:17Speaker 2: for any copyright issues.
- 28:20Speaker 4: Tell me more about the two videos.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Will challenge them, Will challenge them if they do that,
- 28:25Speaker 1: because you know, you know, with the sort of all
- 28:26Speaker 1: these algorithms, you.
- 28:27Speaker 3: Never know what they do.
- 28:30Speaker 4: Yeah, so.
- 28:32Speaker 1: We've got I started working with Thomas Atlas, who's a
- 28:38Speaker 1: singer songwriter who he also played Sounds Beautiful festival in
- 28:45Speaker 1: the UK this summer, and he contacted me. I think
- 28:50Speaker 1: he had seen the work I have done as a
- 28:51Speaker 1: lyricist with Eric Clapton, and he's a big Clapton fan,
- 28:58Speaker 1: you know, all of his work, and so he contented
- 29:01Speaker 1: me because he had an idea about doing something which
- 29:04Speaker 1: was to do about people being fooled. And I just
- 29:10Speaker 1: sort of started working on it and working on the lyrics,
- 29:15Speaker 1: and you know, I kind of listened to the rift,
- 29:17Speaker 1: to a little bit of the tune and we started
- 29:19Speaker 1: working something that could go with it, and then he
- 29:22Speaker 1: would sort of adapt it a little bit for the song.
- 29:24Speaker 1: And then in the end the song has is out
- 29:28Speaker 1: nice called Fooling Me, and yeah, it's about I guess
- 29:34Speaker 1: it's a little bit with a smile on the face
- 29:36Speaker 1: about this experience of having all of these things that
- 29:39Speaker 1: they keep on throwing at.
- 29:41Speaker 3: Us and.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Then having a sense that actually, it's like, you know,
- 29:49Speaker 1: you got to be joking. It's like you see the Olympics.
- 29:53Speaker 1: You know, you got to be joking. You see that
- 29:56Speaker 1: what they're saying about climate and then they're saying, oh,
- 29:58Speaker 1: we're going to sort of spend all of our budget
- 30:00Speaker 1: in making weapons out.
- 30:03Speaker 3: Of like you know, explosives and steal. But then you're
- 30:06Speaker 3: meant to be driving it back. You've got to be joke.
- 30:08Speaker 3: So all the contradictions.
- 30:10Speaker 1: And and and I'm putting it.
- 30:14Speaker 4: In a song.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Which can potentially jump a little bit across to the
- 30:21Speaker 1: other side because it's done in a good spirit. I
- 30:26Speaker 1: think it's got a good energy, good music, and it's
- 30:29Speaker 1: not over it's not it's not done in an alarming way,
- 30:32Speaker 1: like you know, it can be done in an alarming
- 30:34Speaker 1: way with like sort of death metal kind of really
- 30:37Speaker 1: right out there, you know. And I'm not saying that
- 30:40Speaker 1: that's not a good form of music people who like it,
- 30:43Speaker 1: but it's not it's going to just scare people who
- 30:46Speaker 1: are not not ready. Whereas if you do it with
- 30:48Speaker 1: a bit of a sort of you know, in this case,
- 30:49Speaker 1: there's a bit of a guitar riff. It's bluesy, it's
- 30:51Speaker 1: a little bit sort of funk, and it can be
- 30:55Speaker 1: it can be more fun for other people to sit
- 30:57Speaker 1: through and then to ask the question, Well, maybe maybe
- 31:01Speaker 1: we are being fools in some ways.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Well, you can chat to me about the second one
- 31:06Speaker 2: after this. Let me see if I can get this
- 31:08Speaker 2: to play.
- 31:19Speaker 5: Was it not cause for a long boxing ring.
- 31:31Speaker 6: Man warm.
- 31:34Speaker 5: Live on the global TV screen? Was it revery?
- 31:45Speaker 6: Oh?
- 31:45Speaker 7: Maybe did you hear these days.
- 31:56Speaker 5: Heart attacks are on the ride? Doctor b said? Can
- 32:06Speaker 5: it be? No one knows?
- 32:08Speaker 6: Why?
- 32:13Speaker 5: Do tell me?
- 32:16Speaker 8: Was in warmid lie baby.
- 32:25Speaker 6: Curd serious, you can't be.
- 32:30Speaker 5: Gott to be messy. Gotta befo me.
- 32:46Speaker 8: Told to Sweemer was bine, if we don't cut the
- 32:50Speaker 8: car when it comes to their time, they keep sell
- 33:00Speaker 8: them all. Hold on for a second.
- 33:18Speaker 9: Got big d serious, You can't be you gotta be massive.
- 33:29Speaker 9: Gotta be kid serious, You can't be.
- 33:34Speaker 5: Gotta be massive. Lose his world food the sky.
- 34:00Speaker 10: Rocket made themselves all nothing left in that bucket. The
- 34:18Speaker 10: whole system soul so rotten, your SIPs, the Cossacks are
- 34:29Speaker 10: com we must.
- 34:32Speaker 5: Fight them the music. When the kids are corn home,
- 34:42Speaker 5: they're the first runaway the palace he left at the
- 34:54Speaker 5: end of the day. Gotta be.
- 35:03Speaker 9: Serious, you gotta be messing, gotta be fo.
- 35:52Speaker 2: I love that ending. I love that ending. I love
- 35:56Speaker 2: that sort of double time at the end. So what
- 35:58Speaker 2: was your involvement with that song?
- 35:59Speaker 4: Did you write it?
- 36:02Speaker 3: With this one?
- 36:03Speaker 1: I wrote the lyrics, Thomas came up with the idea,
- 36:07Speaker 1: and Sam the guitarist came up with the riff. The
- 36:11Speaker 1: rest of the band did a good job musically outstanding.
- 36:17Speaker 1: And yeah, I think they had They had the music,
- 36:21Speaker 1: they had the concept and the music, and I put
- 36:25Speaker 1: the words into fit with that.
- 36:29Speaker 2: It's so good Robin, And yeah, I think if where
- 36:33Speaker 2: was it filmed? Where film in the library?
- 36:37Speaker 1: It's filmed in a small record shot, well the size
- 36:41Speaker 1: you can see in a record shop in Birmingham, record
- 36:45Speaker 1: shop with vinyl, with vinyl all around, like you know,
- 36:48Speaker 1: quite a historical record shop in Birmingham. Now, if if
- 36:55Speaker 1: a song of equivalent I guess activity, you know, lyrics,
- 37:02Speaker 1: quality or something like that had been done. Let's say
- 37:05Speaker 1: for the other side, whether if it was maybe making
- 37:12Speaker 1: fun of I don't know, making fun of conspiracy theorists
- 37:16Speaker 1: or I don't.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Know, whatever, the you know, what they really like.
- 37:18Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say like anti Trump, because that's almost
- 37:21Speaker 1: too obvious. But if it was done something like this
- 37:24Speaker 1: would be would really be known by everyone. Already it's
- 37:31Speaker 1: doing well. You know, people are watching it from all
- 37:34Speaker 1: parts of the world. We weren't really sure whether it
- 37:39Speaker 1: would raise like objections to it because of the lyrics,
- 37:43Speaker 1: but I think because it's not, because it's not aggressive
- 37:47Speaker 1: in the way it's done. In the lyrics too, it
- 37:50Speaker 1: kind of points at things, but it doesn't sort of
- 37:52Speaker 1: start to sort of condemn in such a direct way.
- 37:58Speaker 3: In that way.
- 37:59Speaker 1: I think most people who have seen it who are
- 38:02Speaker 1: not political haven't really I think only apparently only one
- 38:06Speaker 1: person I said, oh it's a bit too political for me,
- 38:08Speaker 1: but one out of sort of thousands. I think most
- 38:10Speaker 1: people are accepting it and seeing the fun and even
- 38:15Speaker 1: publications which have music publications that have covered it have said,
- 38:19Speaker 1: you know, it's quite it's quite witty and things like that.
- 38:22Speaker 1: They haven't said, oh, it's like a conspiracy theories or.
- 38:26Speaker 3: Something like that.
- 38:26Speaker 1: So I think it's working. This fine line quite well
- 38:30Speaker 1: of being sort of against the system, but not being
- 38:35Speaker 1: confrontational in such a way that people get alienated. Or
- 38:38Speaker 1: maybe the music is so good that people can't just
- 38:43Speaker 1: react in such a sort of fearful way because they
- 38:48Speaker 1: are warmed up by the musical aspect of it. But again,
- 38:54Speaker 1: I think something like this, if it was for the
- 38:56Speaker 1: sort of a sleep side, then be sort of you know,
- 39:00Speaker 1: they'd be really helping it through a lot more than
- 39:03Speaker 1: I think our side would be doing or is doing well.
- 39:07Speaker 1: And I think now it's it's I think it's it's
- 39:09Speaker 1: been listened to a lot of people across the board.
- 39:12Speaker 3: It's not just the three out of ten we're listening
- 39:14Speaker 3: to this.
- 39:17Speaker 1: And yeah, so I think I think that it may
- 39:23Speaker 1: also be that that we need to get in in
- 39:27Speaker 1: an even even more below the radar way, like even
- 39:32Speaker 1: like do a song which is not political at all.
- 39:35Speaker 1: So I'm now we're thinking with Thomas, sort of a
- 39:39Speaker 1: kind of Christmas song.
- 39:41Speaker 3: So to really get in.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Get in below the radar, do something which is not political,
- 39:47Speaker 1: so you get these people warm up with you as
- 39:50Speaker 1: just an artist and a lyricist working with a lyricist,
- 39:53Speaker 1: do that you feel comfortable with that and then throw
- 39:57Speaker 1: once in a while something so not just do not
- 40:00Speaker 1: just do the sort of kind of against the system songs,
- 40:04Speaker 1: but do a bit of a mix so that people
- 40:07Speaker 1: feel comfortable, but in occasion you throw some message there.
- 40:10Speaker 3: I think maybe this is what we're going to try next.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's also a very good strategy. A
- 40:14Speaker 2: lot of musicians do that. They will just just have normal,
- 40:19Speaker 2: normal stuff and then here and there they'll they'll drop in,
- 40:24Speaker 2: you know, a few seeds that will grow in the
- 40:26Speaker 2: mind of the of the listener. And that's also a
- 40:28Speaker 2: great strategy too, because not everybody likes in your face.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right, and I think that's probably
- 40:38Speaker 1: the next the next step to start doing things which
- 40:42Speaker 1: really people let their guard down because they're not political
- 40:45Speaker 1: at all and get sort of clow our way back
- 40:50Speaker 1: to the cultural sphere a little bit more like that.
- 40:52Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's probably what we're doing next.
- 41:00Speaker 2: I've got another song here from you called shackles on Me.
- 41:05Speaker 5: Yes.
- 41:05Speaker 1: So the shackles on Me is a song that was.
- 41:11Speaker 3: Composed by Jimmy Vaughan, and.
- 41:16Speaker 1: That was composed actually quite a while back in the
- 41:20Speaker 1: early two thousands. Because with this thing about the ID
- 41:25Speaker 1: and the sort of controlling everyone obviously has been around
- 41:28Speaker 1: for a while, and then they come back with another
- 41:32Speaker 1: wave a little bit like with the whole kind of
- 41:35Speaker 1: you know, like influenza or COVID.
- 41:38Speaker 3: You know, it's like every so many years.
- 41:42Speaker 1: What was the other one that they had tried before
- 41:45Speaker 1: with the Tammy flu and that was it.
- 41:47Speaker 3: I can't remember what.
- 41:49Speaker 1: Was that the sort of the first at another attempt,
- 41:53Speaker 1: But anyways, it's like it's the same with all of
- 41:56Speaker 1: this kind of ID issues.
- 41:58Speaker 3: That was another way.
- 42:00Speaker 1: So Jimmy Vaughner created this song in the US in
- 42:02Speaker 1: a way to resist that and his lyrics he had
- 42:05Speaker 1: national idea and and I came across this song, and
- 42:14Speaker 1: I mean Jimmy is is plays with Eric when Eric
- 42:18Speaker 1: plays in the US, and I had listened to it,
- 42:21Speaker 1: and Eric had made me listen to another version of it,
- 42:24Speaker 1: and I said to Thomas, well, why don't have you
- 42:29Speaker 1: considered covering this song? Now we've got this digital t
- 42:31Speaker 1: We'll just change your word to digital ID. But it's
- 42:34Speaker 1: the song is pretty much there. You can do your
- 42:36Speaker 1: own version. And he said, well that sounds quite a challenge,
- 42:41Speaker 1: which I'd like to take on.
- 42:43Speaker 3: And so I then, so, well.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Let's let's just make sure he's happy with Jimmy Vaughan
- 42:48Speaker 1: is happy if we change digital IDs. So through Eric,
- 42:52Speaker 1: Eric asked Jimmy, and Jimmy said, that's that's why I did.
- 42:55Speaker 1: That's why I wrote the song exactly for what you
- 42:57Speaker 1: want to use it for. So he was happy for
- 43:00Speaker 1: to take it on, and so so Thomas using pretty
- 43:05Speaker 1: much Jimmy's song and just this change that I suggested
- 43:07Speaker 1: digital I d recorded his version, so updated it to
- 43:11Speaker 1: the situation now that we're in.
- 43:14Speaker 3: We're in now really.
- 43:15Speaker 1: And again it's partially because I think a lot of
- 43:22Speaker 1: people don't realize that the potential gravity of the digital
- 43:26Speaker 1: ed situations.
- 43:27Speaker 3: This is a way to that.
- 43:29Speaker 1: I tried, especially putting this on Instagram, to get people
- 43:32Speaker 1: to think, oh, okay, maybe there is an issue.
- 43:59Speaker 7: No circle, don't those shadows, Army, don't no Shackos, don't
- 44:10Speaker 7: those shadows Armie. I said, that's a big brother.
- 44:18Speaker 5: Don't you treadle me?
- 44:23Speaker 11: How at the blues about Fred, got the blues about Seranny,
- 44:32Speaker 11: got the blues about my Freedom.
- 44:36Speaker 5: Got the blues about Syrhenny.
- 44:41Speaker 6: I said, down with a big brother.
- 44:44Speaker 5: Don't lie. That is just a lot.
- 45:16Speaker 11: Don't want the chipping about it, chipping my car If
- 45:22Speaker 11: I want.
- 45:23Speaker 5: To travel, it's nobody's business. How far.
- 45:27Speaker 7: Don't want these shackles, don't want these shallows on me.
- 45:35Speaker 6: I said that will big brother. I said that will
- 45:41Speaker 6: big brother.
- 45:42Speaker 5: Don't lie that it is just a lotty, I.
- 45:48Speaker 6: Said, don will big brother? Then will big brother?
- 45:58Speaker 5: That will big brother, said rubber.
- 46:07Speaker 6: Rubble.
- 46:09Speaker 12: It's all about liberty.
- 46:29Speaker 4: Jeez, Robin.
- 46:31Speaker 2: That is next level professional His voice, the guitar, playing
- 46:36Speaker 2: the tone of that fender, and the lyrics.
- 46:40Speaker 4: It's just so well put together.
- 46:44Speaker 1: Yeah, he he, he said. He got that take about
- 46:49Speaker 1: four am in the morning, after having gone to the
- 46:52Speaker 1: studio at four pm and just setting everything up by himself.
- 46:58Speaker 1: And you know, this is what one one man and
- 47:01Speaker 1: his voice and his guitar and and a composition can do.
- 47:07Speaker 2: But you can hear, you can hear that level of professionalism.
- 47:12Speaker 2: It's so so good.
- 47:16Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a great voice, and he's a great player.
- 47:20Speaker 2: And I see he's not he's not even playing with
- 47:22Speaker 2: the plectrum. He's just using his fingers.
- 47:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 47:29Speaker 1: And in the next I think in the next one,
- 47:32Speaker 1: if it comes together, he'd be playing all the instruments.
- 47:39Speaker 2: He will play all the instruments. That's how you know
- 47:44Speaker 2: you're a musician. You know the old joke though about
- 47:49Speaker 2: a drummer, you know, you know, you know, the whole
- 47:52Speaker 2: thing about drummer is not being musicians. I can't remember
- 47:57Speaker 2: the joke, but no, but I've ruined it now because
- 48:00Speaker 2: I said that drummers are musicians. But there's there's apparently
- 48:03Speaker 2: this whole sort of thing within the music industry that
- 48:06Speaker 2: you have the band and then the guy that hangs
- 48:08Speaker 2: out with the band as the drummer.
- 48:13Speaker 1: Well, if you, if you, if you take some you know,
- 48:17Speaker 1: like some songs I don't know, like.
- 48:22Speaker 3: I don't know which ones.
- 48:23Speaker 1: But let's say, if you take some cream songs with
- 48:28Speaker 1: Ginger Baker and or even some songs that I don't
- 48:35Speaker 1: know that's some Derek and the Dominoes or Eric Nptain
- 48:38Speaker 1: Derek and Domino's view it, you isolate the drums and
- 48:44Speaker 1: you just listen to the drums. It's amazing, you know,
- 48:48Speaker 1: to to listen to like a song just from a
- 48:51Speaker 1: good drummer, just from the drums. It's an amazing because
- 48:56Speaker 1: because because we tune out of it. Usually we just
- 48:59Speaker 1: we just keep the keep the beat with the drama,
- 49:02Speaker 1: but we really go melodic. We listened to the voice,
- 49:05Speaker 1: We listened to the melodic guitar. The bass sort of
- 49:07Speaker 1: moves a little bit, but we don't. We just sort
- 49:09Speaker 1: of feel it, but don't really focus on it. But
- 49:12Speaker 1: when you end up focusing on it, it's incredible. What
- 49:16Speaker 1: what you know, the kind of thing that that a
- 49:20Speaker 1: dramming energy can do.
- 49:23Speaker 4: John Bonham was one of the greatest drummers.
- 49:27Speaker 1: Yeah, so I think I think it's you know, it's
- 49:34Speaker 1: that's the great thing about a band, you know, when
- 49:36Speaker 1: when it all comes together and you know, everyone is
- 49:39Speaker 1: everyone is participating.
- 49:41Speaker 3: And adding.
- 49:43Speaker 4: Robin.
- 49:44Speaker 2: Something that really upset me during the COVID era was
- 49:47Speaker 2: how few musicians actually took a stand.
- 49:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the establishment learnt a lot from the
- 49:58Speaker 1: war in Vietnam. They learned from the war itself that
- 50:03Speaker 1: if you're going to do fight a war, you want
- 50:05Speaker 1: people from another country to to die, not not your
- 50:08Speaker 1: own people. So they've learned that, you know, drafting people
- 50:12Speaker 1: up is is not is not popular measure. If you
- 50:16Speaker 1: can convince another nation to fight it for you, that's
- 50:20Speaker 1: a much better strategy. So whenever they think of a
- 50:24Speaker 1: war now they think, okay, who can we get to
- 50:26Speaker 1: fight who? And not not sort of send our own
- 50:30Speaker 1: people because that's unpopular.
- 50:32Speaker 3: Not that they don't want to do that.
- 50:33Speaker 1: They'd rather kill them with with something else, not not
- 50:36Speaker 1: not at war. And then they also learned the potential
- 50:41Speaker 1: power of a young, young mind that's musical, musical, that
- 50:48Speaker 1: can create this youthful musical.
- 50:51Speaker 3: Spirit with rebellious lyrics to it.
- 50:54Speaker 1: They learned that if that happens, it's almost unstoppable unless
- 50:58Speaker 1: you actually kill them. And you know, if we know,
- 51:02Speaker 1: like the leaders of all of that, how many of
- 51:05Speaker 1: them ended up being killed in suspicious circumstances or dying
- 51:11Speaker 1: in relatively suspicious suspicious like y rare diseases.
- 51:17Speaker 3: Or like alleged binges.
- 51:19Speaker 1: Now we don't know if that the binge was the
- 51:20Speaker 1: reason or not, but anyways, we know how many. And
- 51:23Speaker 1: so I think the establishment learns that you have to
- 51:25Speaker 1: control you have to control the musical production, and so
- 51:31Speaker 1: in some ways you can't allow unvetted, young creative people
- 51:38Speaker 1: in and you can't let them have a platform that's natural.
- 51:42Speaker 1: So the algorithm is deciding now who listens to what
- 51:49Speaker 1: and if the if the band is safe, the algorithm
- 51:52Speaker 1: with sort of lets them being heard, and if the
- 51:55Speaker 1: band is not really no, not potentially said, you know,
- 51:58Speaker 1: there has to be vetted that way. So I think
- 52:00Speaker 1: the people who we heard had been ver you know,
- 52:03Speaker 1: maybe they were rebels sixty years ago. But this rebellia
- 52:07Speaker 1: spirit is a youthful energy. Ultimately, it's a rebellion against
- 52:11Speaker 1: the older generation. And the youth has been controlled now
- 52:17Speaker 1: through the mobile phone, through the smart from the social
- 52:21Speaker 1: media apps that they're using now, whether it's now whatever
- 52:24Speaker 1: it is now Snapchat or whatever it is ticked off,
- 52:27Speaker 1: but they're being sort of controlled through that, and so
- 52:33Speaker 1: they probably don't have this.
- 52:37Speaker 3: Unfiltered youth network.
- 52:39Speaker 1: What they're seeing has already been filtered by the algorithm.
- 52:44Speaker 1: And you know, the older generation they've got too much
- 52:46Speaker 1: to lose. Also, you know, like in general, all these
- 52:50Speaker 1: rock stars, they have not been the most monogamous people
- 52:55Speaker 1: on the planet, and so they don't want whatever whatever
- 53:00Speaker 1: set up they have now emotional setup. Family said that
- 53:03Speaker 1: they don't want it to be torn about by whatever
- 53:08Speaker 1: revelation would come. The day after they opposed the vaccine.
- 53:11Speaker 1: They'll be hold on a minute what's that photos, what's
- 53:14Speaker 1: that affair there? What's that you know? What's is that child?
- 53:17Speaker 3: Your child?
- 53:17Speaker 1: You know, they've got all of these skeletons in their
- 53:20Speaker 1: closet from their private life that they know very well
- 53:25Speaker 1: that the moment they actually said, so it's easier for
- 53:27Speaker 1: them to just go along with it, whereas someone who's
- 53:31Speaker 1: nineteen twenty twenty one, they don't, you know, they don't
- 53:34Speaker 1: they haven't gotten married yet, they don't have this sense
- 53:37Speaker 1: that they will upset like children and grandchildren by knowing
- 53:41Speaker 1: what they've done when they were a little bit younger.
- 53:45Speaker 1: So it's much easier in a way to control people
- 53:48Speaker 1: who have already done a lot of bad things.
- 53:52Speaker 3: Than a youthful energy.
- 53:53Speaker 1: And the youth levenergy is being controlled by the algorithm
- 53:56Speaker 1: and by whatever they're being shown and by the public perception,
- 54:01Speaker 1: because in a way, the lead we've saw leadership in
- 54:05Speaker 1: people who were slightly older. We haven't seen much leadership
- 54:10Speaker 1: in that youthful generation that was during COVID. I think
- 54:15Speaker 1: I'm seeing now a younger generation, one that actually lived
- 54:18Speaker 1: through maybe the lockdown and at the time went along
- 54:23Speaker 1: with it because they were too young to do anything.
- 54:26Speaker 1: But now has a sense sod on a minute, that.
- 54:28Speaker 3: Was all a load of rubbish. The world we live
- 54:32Speaker 3: in is full of a load of rubbish.
- 54:35Speaker 1: And I'm aware of it, and I'm not never going
- 54:38Speaker 1: to be that person that's blinded to think everything is fine,
- 54:42Speaker 1: that we've just got people in authority that are trying
- 54:44Speaker 1: their best, and you know, so, I think there's a
- 54:47Speaker 1: whole chunk of people who are coming out of the
- 54:51Speaker 1: lockdown who maybe are not saying anything yet, but they're
- 54:54Speaker 1: not going to fall in this kind of stupor and
- 54:58Speaker 1: kind of sleepiness that we had or the whole Obama
- 55:01Speaker 1: period and beyond where we all where a lot of
- 55:04Speaker 1: people thought everything is fine, We've got great leaders and everything.
- 55:08Speaker 2: And those people just like they just need a little
- 55:10Speaker 2: bit of a nudge, that's all.
- 55:13Speaker 1: Yeah, I think those people needed a little bit of
- 55:16Speaker 1: a nudge. They sort of areware things were not that great.
- 55:19Speaker 1: They saw so the whole October seventh situation, and even
- 55:24Speaker 1: if they never said anything, they sort of could see
- 55:29Speaker 1: that the official version did not correspond to the real events.
- 55:33Speaker 1: The reaction did not did not justify, was not justified
- 55:38Speaker 1: by the alleged course of events, And so they know
- 55:42Speaker 1: that all of that was manufactured as well, but they
- 55:44Speaker 1: didn't say anything in COVID. They're not going to jump
- 55:46Speaker 1: into that openly because they're still trying to create their
- 55:50Speaker 1: own but they know they know that that there's been
- 55:53Speaker 1: a constant series of situations that we're being led through,
- 55:58Speaker 1: and get some stage they'll be able to join us
- 56:04Speaker 1: because we need.
- 56:04Speaker 2: Them times against us. Okay, So for those who want
- 56:08Speaker 2: to follow you, how can they?
- 56:12Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm active and mainly well mainly a.
- 56:17Speaker 3: Couple of platforms.
- 56:19Speaker 1: One of them is X and my handle is that
- 56:23Speaker 1: Robin Monotti with two t's, and the other one is
- 56:27Speaker 1: Telegram and the handle of the channel is that Robin MG.
- 56:33Speaker 1: And then also I think a musical stuff come out
- 56:37Speaker 1: on Instagram and again handle is Robin Monati. That's that's
- 56:41Speaker 1: more musical, with an occasional peppering of other things, because
- 56:46Speaker 1: I find that actually the other platforms like X are
- 56:50Speaker 1: not again they're not that artist friendly, like songs don't
- 56:53Speaker 1: go that far.
- 56:54Speaker 3: So in some.
- 56:56Speaker 1: Ways I'm using the enemy's platforms, especially like when it
- 57:01Speaker 1: comes to music. But I think we in a way
- 57:04Speaker 1: we have to do that if we want to talk
- 57:05Speaker 1: to the other side.
- 57:06Speaker 3: As well.
- 57:06Speaker 1: I know people that will never go on anything that
- 57:09Speaker 1: they may still look at the Instagram.
- 57:11Speaker 2: So Robert and Natty, thank you for joining me in
- 57:14Speaker 2: The Strangers, thank you, thank.
- 57:17Speaker 3: You for having me on. Good to see you. M
