So, the folks on First Take responded to Micah Parsons today, and they said a few things I need to address. I'd love to keep this brief, but that's difficult when addressing several different people. I'm gonna start with Molly Qerim (4:59), because she made the most sense out of everyone. Micah talked about the energy brought to the coverage, not the AMOUNT of coverage. Any media personality who thinks they have to cover the Dallas Cowboys more due to the "nature of the business" or the popularity of the Cowboys still has choices in the words they use, the takes they present, and how they present them. Folks have made excuses for Burrow because of his calf, for Herbert because of his thumb, and for Hurts because of coaching changes. But many of those same folks have acted like those factors shouldn't be taken into consideration for Dak Prescott. And when have we seen SA show up in costume to mock these other teams or constantly make fun of the disappointed fans of those teams in the rudest ways? I watch people every day who cover the Cowboys fairly without the level of negativity we see from mainstream sports media. Micah was right, and somehow Molly is the only one who recognized that. Kimberley A. Martin (1:08) You know another team that hasn't won a Super Bowl since before Micah was born? The San Francisco 49ers. So if lack of championships and unmet expectations are the criteria, that's even more reason to discuss other teams. The whole "before you were born" argument just has no basis. And as for the rosters they've put together - there have been good players, but how often has it really come together? Going into 2022, there was nothing but questions about the Cowboys receiver room and their O-Line. Questions that were never answered. Stephen A Smith Since when are endorsements and popularity good reasons to judge someone more harshly than someone else and negatively impact their reputations as athletes on purpose? Once again, if you feel like your role calls you to address the Cowboys more than other teams, fine, but at least be fair in that coverage. You and others pick and choose the info, film, and stats you want to highlight in order to fit the narrative you want to reinforce. Micah Parsons is asking for the whole story to be told. And he has a right to ask for that regardless of how popular he is or how popular his team and his quarterback are. Micah Parsons spoke his piece, and mainstream media responded with almost nothing but pushback. Who can blame him for not wanting to speak to the media anymore? I'ma have to save the rest. I know nobody is reading all of this 😆😆😆

Today seems like the right day to share this. 🙏 Charlie Kirk walking and standing at the exact location where Christ preached. The ground zero of free speech for the modern world, and the inception point of Christianity in this universe. This footage is very candid and, at the time, was filmed for personal memories. One can see so clearly, in real time, the simple, beautiful, and hopeful Christian love for Jesus that Charlie had. It is captured so well. It is also important from the point of view of Charlie’s legacy, and for those that love him, because what this illustrates is the vast spiritual relationship that Charlie understood between Jesus Christ and Jesus’s relationship to freedom of speech as a cornerstone of Christianity. Charlie, Erika, Irina, and I shared a moment that can only be described as providential. We share a friendship that transcends normal life, for we addressed factors together and explored new ideas that do transcend what usually passes for ordinary existence. While others have written and spoken about Charlie’s Christian faith, we experienced the unique pleasure of walking the actual path of Christ with Charlie; of discussing his most personal spiritual and Christian ambitions and goals with him; and of standing with him and Erika, praying in the exact location where Jesus Christ spoke. The story of this event is now recorded in - Sovereignty – The Restoration of Sanity - , shortly to be published by Regnery in the USA. But this short film, recorded in March of 2019, marked an exceptionally key moment and a very important few days in Charlie’s life. Charlie loved Jerusalem, and he loved Jesus Christ with all his heart and sincerity. A few months before this moment, we had introduced Charlie and Candace to the UK, and to many generous philanthropists in America and Europe who subsequently helped in TPUSA’s expansion. Much has been written about that — Sovereignty goes into much more detail about how that occurred. That February, we helped to arrange a TPUK tour of UK universities. Charlie and Candace did the tour. Charlie particularly wanted us to meet Erika, so he suggested that we join them both for a few days in Jerusalem. There has been a great deal written about Charlie and his relationship to Jesus. It evolved throughout his life, and we are honoured, as his friends, to have witnessed his spiritual journey along that line. What cannot be disputed is Charlie’s pure Christian love of Jesus. In that, Charlie never faltered. Perhaps, as you watch this, you will take a moment to pray to Jesus that the truth of Charlie’s legacy — of freedom of speech, and of his being one of the greatest peacemakers that has ever lived — is preserved and continues. And I am sure that all Christians and men of God will join us in praying that the truth about Charlie’s life is fully known and illuminated. We were delighted to see that the archaeological dig that Charlie invited us to see privately in 2019 was opened to the public for the first time yesterday. ( See the link below ) And so it is with great pleasure that we share this very special moment with you all. May God ✝️ in His Wisdom Bless you Charlie and Erika. We will always remember you both in that moment. 🙏🙏 All our love, John and Irina 🙏🙏 The link to Sovereignty and the full story is below.

As a former NFL Scout, I find it VERY interesting that Shedeur Sanders “dirted” his final play of his Pro Day in the 2-Minute Drill instead of making the high pressure throw to the end-zone and risking missing it as his lasting impression. This is also why he took some of his sacks (and yardage losses for his team) instead of throwing the ball away at Colorado the past two seasons. I’ve never seen a quarterback more afraid of making a mistake. The fear of making a mistake is engrained in him (likely from an early age). It’s spray painted all over his game film and poetically, it’s exactly how his Pro Day ended with him bowing out instead of stepping into the moment. The fact he “shied away” from taking the shot in front of the league at the end is VERY telling to me. It’s the take away. Three other impressions of mine from his Pro Day: 1. Average overall looking “arm strength.” There was a “wobble” on a number of his throws and he put too much air under his deep passes. He could not drive the ball much at his indoor Pro Day at 5,430 feet altitude (Boulder Colorado). He “flashed” having “decent” arm strength on a few of his underneath throws but he clearly lacks “arm confidence” and the confidence in himself to drive the ball. 2. Average location placement overall. 3. Pats the ball pre-delivery which telegraphs to defensive backs when and where he’s throwing. There was nothing and I mean nothing special, elite or dominant looking at his Pro Day that was set up in absolute ideal conditions for him. He mostly made short throws and put too much air under his deep throws. I have an undraftable free agent grade on him. He’s a practice squad level talent with a Hall of Fame last name. My dream is to get a second chance in the NFL and on my resume, I am advising teams not to select him in rounds 1-7 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Video credit: NFL

FIRST ROUND MOCK

NASA, OCCULT RITUALS & MOLDING SOCIETY. This is where many of the elite and members of governments belief systems stem from. How does a NASA/JPL scientist, Scientologist, and Satanic Sex cults have anything to do with what's going on today? And most important, why are their open Satanist running our government and intelligence agencies performing literal Satanic rituals in the desert in the middle of nowhere and for what exact reason? Why would they continue to do this if it's allegedly not real, or is their something that they know, that they're not sharing with the rest of the world? Let's break down the ritual they performed and who these people are. Jack Parsons was an open Satanist and one of the founding fathers of rocketry, along with Wernher von Braun-Nazi and creator of the V2 rocket, who worked with NASA and was a student and follower of Aliester Crowley's Satanic religion called Thelema. Aliester Crowley was an open Satanist and the father of the "sexual revolution" who was also a British MI5 spy. He also was a huge contributor and into pedophil*a and transgenderism, which all go hand in hand with Satanic belief systems and a major part of ceremonial ritualistic magic, like child sacrifice. He also had a lot to do with the Tavistock Institute's study on mind control, and nondirectly influenced the CIA's Mk Ultra program in the west with his book, "The Drug Diaries," which was all about mind control and drugs. Go figure. Crowley once stated that the perfect candidate for child sacrifice is a young white male child, the younger the better, because of their purity and innocence which is crucial for these sick demonic practices which are still conducted to this day. Then you have L. Ron Hubbard, writer and father of science fiction, who also is the founder of the created religion known as Scientology. If you don't know much about Scientology, just know that they have an alien god named Xenu who brough billions of people to earth 75 million years ago. This alone should pretty much tell you everything you need to know. Aliester Crowley wrote about the connection, explaining that an "intelligence" was brought into physical manifestation, via a portal that was created during a Sex Magick ritual called the Almalantrah Working in 1918. The entity that was summoned called itself "LAM." Crowley considered it to be an interdimensional being, which oddly, and strongly resembled what we call an alien "grey." So performing Satanic rituals, an "alien grey" allegedly made contact. Is it really what it says it is or looks like? Or is it something lying to humanity? That's a whole other post to talk about that subject. Many Occult disciples believe the portal Crowley opened might have been widened or another portal was opened during the Babalon Working. The Babalon Working Ritual was a series of "Magick rituals" performed from January to March, 1946, by author, pioneer rocket-fuel scientist and Satanist Jack Parsons and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard and Marjorie Cameron. The ritual was essentially designed to manifest an individual incarnation of Babalon. The project was based on the ideas of Satanist Aliester Crowley, and his description of a similar project in his 1917 novel, Moonchild. The "Moonchild" or "Whore of Babylon" is referred to in several places in the Book of Revelation, a book which may have had influence on "Thelema," which is Aliester Crowley's Satanic Religion, and says he read it as a child and imagined himself as the "Beast." She is described in Chapter 17:3-6. Almost immediately after Parsons declared that the first of the series of rituals was complete and successful, he met Marjorie Cameron in his own home, and regarded her as the elemental that he and Hubbard had called through the ritual. Soon Parsons began the next stage of the series, an attempt to conceive a child through sex magic workings. Although no child was conceived, this did not affect the result of the ritual to that point. Parsons and Cameron, who Parsons now regarded as the Scarlet Woman, Babalon, called forth by the ritual, soon married. The rituals performed drew largely upon rituals and sex magic described by English author and occult teacher Aleister Crowley. Crowley was in correspondence with Parsons during the course of the Babalon Working, and warned Parsons of his potential overreactions to the Magick he was performing, while simultaneously deriding Parsons' work to others. One very coincidental happening I want to point out is that the aim was to incarnate the Thelemic goddess Babalon in a human being. The rituals were conducted in the spring of 1946, with the specific date of October 26th being a significant point in the process. Guess who's birthday is October 26th, 1947? Hillary Clinton. Just a fascinating coincidence. There's no real evidence that Hillary is the moonchild. That we know of. Just an interesting fact. Now we will get to the part where this ties into modern day belief systems of the elite and wealthy individuals and the sexual and counter culture revolutions that were literally planned for society. It connects back to the 1920s-1930s to when very wealthy individuals and elite were all into the same belief systems and practices that such people like Aliester Crowley were promoting. A drug fueled, counter culture, sexual revolution, backed by Satanic beliefs and practices and engulfed with pedophil*a, transgenderism, transhuman, and paganistic beliefs and practices. These were the individuals who built our society's culture and who purposely have been molding and steering society through major institutions like Tavistock and the Esalen Institute, along with many others, who were run and founded by major wealthy players and backed by people like the Rockefellers. They literally have been telling us about their plans through symbolism and writings and publications for decades. And the last part of their plan for their "New World Order, was the sexual revolution, which you see being heavily pushed on our society and children, especially now right out in the open in our education systems. All of the people running these institutions, the banks, big tech, the music industry, Hollywood, you name it, all of their beliefs, views and opinions stem from places like the specific institutions that I mentioned along with our own intelligence agencies and others with the same beliefs, engineered by known Satanist and pagans, which derived from centuries ago, being brought into modern day society and purposely pushing this garbage to mold our society to fulfill their personal world views and beliefs on society. Do you remember what took place and was happening in society right before Rome fell? It's widely considered the last things that happen before a society collapses. Transgenderism and pedophil*a. Pay attention. Everything happening today has been planned and engineered decades ago. It's time to fight back ladies and gentleman. The truth is definitely stranger than fiction.

Lamb and "John [Mack] were scheduled to deliver a paper...on reptilians." ~Ralph Blumenthal 👀🦎 John Mack, Reptilians and Death 🦎👀 "One woman worked for the [DEA] and was abducted while out on a snowmobile, during the day. Some thought the beings were robots. There were different races reported, including reptilians." ~~~ (Newer version of my 2022 thread about Blumenthal, Mack, and the paper Mack wrote on reptilians. Many will like this.) Ralph Blumenthal - Inquire Anomalous conference lecture from 12/03/2022. Notes... Blumenthal talks about a book he's written with his wife about UFOs that's geared towards children (I wonder how Semivan will feel about that? "They're f**king with us!" I have a contact who would REALLY not like that book). Blumenthal is spending his time going thru the story of John Mack and his work on abduction phenomenon. Mack tried LSD, ayahuasca and also holotropic breathing (taught by Stanislav Grof), where he seemed to have a possible past-life memory. Grof introduced Mack to UFOs and abductions. Mack turned down a chance to meet Budd Hopkins, but later, synchronistically, came across Hopkins again and they met in December 1990. Hopkins gave Mack some letters from experiencers and Mack decided to meet these folks and work with them. They were NOT mentally ill, deranged, or publicity seekers. It was so authentic that he couldn't believe they were making it up. The stories were surprisingly consistent and came from experiencers who were as young as three years old. Not all the events happened at night. One woman worked for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and was abducted while out on a snowmobile, during the day. He also worked with women who claimed they were made pregnant, had the babies taken and then allowed to meet those children. Some thought the beings were robots. There were different races reported, including reptilians. The experiences were terrifying for many but also transformative and had a positive effect on the lives of some abductees. Mack's efforts to publish in peer-reviewed journals were rebuffed so he wrote books. He met with the Dalai Lama, who was interested in the abduction phenomenon. In 1994 or 1995, Mack hosted a conference at MIT on abductions. Lots of scientists attended and they discussed what they learned on abductions and shared notes. Mack thought these things must have happened on some level & Harvard (where he taught) was worried, so they tried to remove him. Mack hired a lawyer who didn't work out and he then hired a team that included Sheehan. One mistake Mack realized later was seeing abductions as singular when they were actually part of other mysteries/anomalies like cattle mutilations, ghosts, crop circles (which he investigated), ancient UFO sightings, fairies, NDEs, reincarnation, etc. Mack worked with a gifted scientist, Elizabeth Targ (Russell's daughter), who had special, intuitive powers. She was investigating brain tumors in her patients and wound up dying of the same brain tumor she was investigating. After she died, she somehow seemed able to communicate with her husband and family, from beyond. Mack was working on a book about her when he was killed. Blumenthal had access to all of the police files and came away convinced that Mack's death was a tragic accident. Barbara Lamb (abduction researcher/therapist) accompanied Mack on a visit to crop circles. Blumenthal mentions Lamb and reptilians (she allegedly had a close encounter in her home with a reptilian), and work Mack and Lamb were doing together on reptilians. But Mack died before that work was completed. Mack allegedly helped her from beyond the grave with that. I'll pull the video of that story (reptilians) and the last story and tweet it when the videos are available. "Death is not what we think it is." OK, a year later and I'm including the video clip (sorry for the sound issues) and here's the partial transcript... Blumenthal: "I tell the story of Barbara Lamb, who's a well known a psychotherapist, and experiencer, who had accompanied Mack on his visit to the crop circles. She was on the trip. And later, after Mack's death, Lamb was visiting her daughter in California, and with an allergy to her daughter's cat, she had an asthma attack that left her struggling to breathe. She thought she was suffocating, choking to death. And then she saw an image of Mack and he was saying, 'Don't worry, Barbara, you'll be okay.' And she felt a healing ball of light enter her chest and she suddenly could breathe. "Now, Lamb, who had intrigued me with a story of meeting a reptilian in her living room one day - and she had a very pleasant encounter, by the way - also told me that she and John were scheduled to deliver a paper at the Laughlin UFO conference on reptilians, and his death cut that short. And she didn't know what to do, whether she should still appear at the conference. "And John came to her in a dream, she told me, and said, by all means, she should still deliver his paper at the conference, and he told her where to find the paper. It was at home, on a certain bookshelf, the bookshelf nearest this other room, sticking out of certain papers. And that Barbara should call Karin Austin, who has Mack's assistant at the time, and describe just what John said, where the papers were. So Barbara Lamb did that, Karin located the papers, she delivered them to Barbara, Barbara delivered them at the conference and credited Mack with this report on reptilians." "It was not what we thought." ~Alleged message from a dead John Mack, via a medium. It? What is it? Death? UFOs? Clip is cued up so you can hear clean audio and the rest of the what Blumenthal said.

Lamb and "John [Mack] were scheduled to deliver a paper...on reptilians." ~Ralph Blumenthal 👀🦎 John Mack, Reptilians and Death 🦎👀 "One woman worked for the [DEA] and was abducted while out on a snowmobile, during the day. Some thought the beings were robots. There were different races reported, including reptilians." ~~~ (Newer version of my 2022 thread about Blumenthal, Mack, and the paper Mack wrote on reptilians. Many will like this.) Ralph Blumenthal - Inquire Anomalous conference lecture from 12/03/2022. Notes... Blumenthal talks about a book he's written with his wife about UFOs that's geared towards children (I wonder how Semivan will feel about that? "They're f**king with us!" I have a contact who would REALLY not like that book). Blumenthal is spending his time going thru the story of John Mack and his work on abduction phenomenon. Mack tried LSD, ayahuasca and also holotropic breathing (taught by Stanislav Grof), where he seemed to have a possible past-life memory. Grof introduced Mack to UFOs and abductions. Mack turned down a chance to meet Budd Hopkins, but later, synchronistically, came across Hopkins again and they met in December 1990. Hopkins gave Mack some letters from experiencers and Mack decided to meet these folks and work with them. They were NOT mentally ill, deranged, or publicity seekers. It was so authentic that he couldn't believe they were making it up. The stories were surprisingly consistent and came from experiencers who were as young as three years old. Not all the events happened at night. One woman worked for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and was abducted while out on a snowmobile, during the day. He also worked with women who claimed they were made pregnant, had the babies taken and then allowed to meet those children. Some thought the beings were robots. There were different races reported, including reptilians. The experiences were terrifying for many but also transformative and had a positive effect on the lives of some abductees. Mack's efforts to publish in peer-reviewed journals were rebuffed so he wrote books. He met with the Dalai Lama, who was interested in the abduction phenomenon. In 1994 or 1995, Mack hosted a conference at MIT on abductions. Lots of scientists attended and they discussed what they learned on abductions and shared notes. Mack thought these things must have happened on some level & Harvard (where he taught) was worried, so they tried to remove him. Mack hired a lawyer who didn't work out and he then hired a team that included Sheehan. One mistake Mack realized later was seeing abductions as singular when they were actually part of other mysteries/anomalies like cattle mutilations, ghosts, crop circles (which he investigated), ancient UFO sightings, fairies, NDEs, reincarnation, etc. Mack worked with a gifted scientist, Elizabeth Targ (Russell's daughter), who had special, intuitive powers. She was investigating brain tumors in her patients and wound up dying of the same brain tumor she was investigating. After she died, she somehow seemed able to communicate with her husband and family, from beyond. Mack was working on a book about her when he was killed. Blumenthal had access to all of the police files and came away convinced that Mack's death was a tragic accident. Barbara Lamb (abduction researcher/therapist) accompanied Mack on a visit to crop circles. Blumenthal mentions Lamb and reptilians (she allegedly had a close encounter in her home with a reptilian), and work Mack and Lamb were doing together on reptilians. But Mack died before that work was completed. Mack allegedly helped her from beyond the grave with that. I'll pull the video of that story (reptilians) and the last story and tweet it when the videos are available. "Death is not what we think it is." OK, a year later and I'm including the video clip (sorry for the sound issues) and here's the partial transcript... Blumenthal: "I tell the story of Barbara Lamb, who's a well known a psychotherapist, and experiencer, who had accompanied Mack on his visit to the crop circles. She was on the trip. And later, after Mack's death, Lamb was visiting her daughter in California, and with an allergy to her daughter's cat, she had an asthma attack that left her struggling to breathe. She thought she was suffocating, choking to death. And then she saw an image of Mack and he was saying, 'Don't worry, Barbara, you'll be okay.' And she felt a healing ball of light enter her chest and she suddenly could breathe. "Now, Lamb, who had intrigued me with a story of meeting a reptilian in her living room one day - and she had a very pleasant encounter, by the way - also told me that she and John were scheduled to deliver a paper at the Laughlin UFO conference on reptilians, and his death cut that short.

I've been hated on and laughed at for defending Justin Herbert, so this is nothing new. I'm completely used to it. I know so many of you know exactly how I feel. There is reason for genuine optimism if you're a Chargers fan, though, and I'll tell you why: 👇 ⚡️ The Return of Slater ad Alt. ⚡️ Fantastic Cap Space. ⚡️ Exciting young RBs, TEs, and WRs! Like Hampton, Gadsden, and Harris/KLS. ⚡️ Exciting young defenders like Tuli, Oweh, Henley, etc.…. What we found out is Justin Herbert can't win in the playoffs with the worst offensive line in football. Does that mean I'm absolving him of his missed throws and opportunities versus the Patriots? Nope! He needs to be better. However, I absolutely still think we have the right QB to help us win it all. This is a team sport, and we need a fortified team to go all the way. Watch the video below, and tell me you don't see an elite talent. I just think Justin needs the right play-caller and some actual pass protection. 👇

Last week, my husband sat down with Steven Bartlett from the Diary of a CEO. The behind the scenes on how we got such short notice to do his podcast was insane. Finding flights and trying to cram everything into a short period of time. We were on route to wrap up Pierre's USA tour when we got the email, we were in NYC. So now we had to figure out how to get to LA fast, and back on time for Monday's meetings in Ottawa. There was no way we were going to pass on this. Why? My personal thoughts were because I have watched Diary of a CEO for over a year, and what I have seen from Steven and his team is beyond anything else out there. The level of research they do on their guests, and their capacity to ask ANY question, the tough ones, the more personal ones, in such a professional manner. It is not about trying to get a “gotcha” moment. It is about truly getting to know and understand the person sitting across from Steven. This time, it was my husband. I saw him like in no other interview. Finally relaxed, being himself, so open to talk about everything, including his childhood, his adoptive parents AND biological parents. But also about our beloved Valentina. I can say with confidence that this is THE MOST IN-DEPTH interview Pierre has ever done. Steven did not hold back. But he does it with respect, and in a format that allows people to fully explain themselves. That is the magic of these long-format platforms. Pierre got to share his vision for Canada, the problems, the solutions. He also got to explain his WHY, which really is rooted in his childhood experiences. I am thankful for platforms like this that, in my personal opinion, are doing a better job than the current media out there. But even more thankful that there are hosts like Steven who operate on the principle of hearing all sides with an open mind and allowing people to express themselves. If I can be honest with you, my favourite YouTube channel is not Diary of a CEO. It actually is BEHIND THE DIARY (@behindthediary). That is where you get to see how Steven does it, how he builds a team. One thing I remember well is when he mentioned that he needs to work with people who keep an open mind because his goal is to talk to everyone. From Michelle Obama to Boris Johnson to Kamala Harris, and now my husband Pierre Poilievre, Steven sits there with an open mind and asks ALL questions without holding back. It is also important to note that it is equally important for the guest to do the same. So naturally, our team had no limitations on what he could ask. This is by far my favourite interview. 🫶🏻 Go watch it :

#459 From Boogeyman to Conversation, My Talk with Nick Griffin About this Guest - Nick Griffin is a British political figure, writer, and commentator best known for his leadership of the British National Party (BNP) from 1999 to 2014. Born in 1959 in London, he studied at the University of Cambridge, where he became politically active at a young age. Griffin first came to prominence in British politics through nationalist movements, eventually rising to lead the BNP during a period in which the party achieved its greatest electoral success. Under his leadership, the BNP secured representation in the European Parliament, where Griffin served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for North West England from 2009 to 2014. Throughout his career, he has been a controversial and polarising figure, particularly due to his views on immigration, national identity, and multiculturalism. Supporters have described him as a critic of globalisation and mass immigration, while critics have strongly opposed his political positions and associations. Following his departure from frontline party politics, Griffin has remained active as a writer and commentator, sharing his views on geopolitics, culture, and societal change through independent media platforms, including his Substack. His work today focuses on political analysis, historical interpretation, and commentary on global power structures, often challenging mainstream narratives and encouraging debate on issues such as sovereignty, identity, and the future of Western societies. About this Episode - This was such a surreal conversation on the podcast. I had to sit back halfway through and think, how did I end up here, sitting across from Nick Griffin of all people, unpacking everything from childhood, identity and ideology, to immigration, power and the future of civilisation. We started where it all begins, our upbringing. I reflected on growing up in Glasgow, my experiences, my lens, and how the smallest things shape your worldview more than you realise. And why Nick Griffin, for me, was the boogeyman. Nick shared his early political influences, what drew him into activism, and how his thinking has evolved over time. Whether people agree with him or not, understanding how someone arrives at their beliefs is always more valuable than simply dismissing them. From there, we moved into immigration and multiculturalism, a topic that is impossible to ignore today. We explored whether mass migration strengthens or fragments societies, and the tension between cultural identity and integration. I have always believed you can hold two ideas at once, recognising both the beauty of cultural diversity and the reality that cohesion matters if a society is to function in the long run. Religion naturally came into the discussion too, not just as belief, but as a civilisational force. We talked about Christianity, Islam, and how religious frameworks have historically shaped societies, for better or worse. It is impossible to understand the present without acknowledging the spiritual and philosophical foundations of the past. We also dug into history, colonialism, land ownership, and the way narratives are constructed. One of the recurring themes, as you will not be surprised to hear, was how much of what we are taught is simplified, distorted, or simply incomplete. The shift from land based, self sufficient communities to industrialised labour was not just progress. It came at a cost, displacement, dependency, the reorganisation of power, and the erosion of family and community. And that word kept coming up, power. Who has it, how they maintain it, and whether what we see today is organic or engineered. We explored the idea that modern societies are shaped not just by visible politics, but by deeper systems, financial structures, ideological movements, and long term strategies that most people never see. The concept of a quiet war against populations is controversial, but as I have said before, I believe it is real. A quiet war against humanity, particularly in the West, fought with silent weapons, and one that has been unfolding for decades. We also spoke about disillusionment with modern politics, including Nick’s involvement with the British National Party. The idea that we are presented with genuine choice feels increasingly hollow. It looks more and more like theatre. Different faces, same direction. One thread that ran through this entire conversation was simple, the solutions are not going to come from the top down. Not from political leaders, not from parties, not from billionaires or philanthropists. They have to come from the people, from families, from local communities, and from real relationships. Strengthening those is far more powerful than arguing over which politician is slightly less bad than the next. We also touched on identity. What does it actually mean to be British? Does Britain even exist as a coherent idea anymore? And would smaller, more localised governance serve people better, whether as English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish communities? What I found most interesting was that despite all the heavy topics, there were moments of reflection, humility, and even agreement. Cultural differences are real, but so are shared human experiences. And if we are going to navigate the future, we need to understand both. I also reflected on my own journey, the mistakes, the regrets, the lessons. Because none of us arrive at our views fully formed. We evolve, often through hardship. We are living through a period of massive change, demographic, cultural, economic, technological. The question is not whether change is happening, it is whether we understand it, and whether we respond consciously or simply react. For me, it comes back to something simple. Strengthen your family. Strengthen your community. Stay curious. Question everything. I have to admit, I was very impressed by Nick. He is clearly erudite, articulate, and well informed. It was a pleasure to have him on the show, and I look forward to having him back. I would urge you to check out his Substack. There is a reason the establishment wanted him discredited and removed. I believe that had he remained in politics, he would have been a powerful force, one that is not controlled. And that is what the establishment fears most of all.

BITCOIN RAILS #49: The "Cultural Fork" of Bitcoin | with t.j. miller 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: I was introduced to Silicon Valley's t.j. miller a little over a year ago while he was brainstorming how we could potentially inscribe a 4-megger comedy video through MARA Slipstream (shout out to OrdinalsBot ⚡ for the idea). A Bitcoiner since 2018, TJ saw the potential of Ordinals to orange-pill a whole new kind of Bitcoiner — the kind that may realistically be intimidated by (or straight up uninterested in) ivory-tower technical or economic topics. "I talk about cultural adoption and how do we bring Bitcoin into the cultural forefront." Letting me into "his world" for this interview, TJ and I recorded this chat straight from The Stand before his Bitcoin-focused set during Chainlink New York blockchain week [full set forthcoming in the comments]. Shout out to Kelley Weaver Melrose PR Validation Cloud and Bitwire ~ Your news, amplified. for organizing the event. It was a banger 🔥 In this episode, TJ and I jam about: - How TJ was orange-pilled by the Winklevoss twins Cameron Winklevoss Tyler Winklevoss (+ the Michigan twins of course!) - Why TJ's wife, Kate, is a hardcore Bitcoin maxi... despite TJ loving Ethereum and Department of Government Efficiency on the side - How comedy could orange pill the world - And as usual we end with... Brock Pierce. IYKYK. For good measure, we also clear the air on Peter Todd [probably not] being Satoshi. Unsurprisingly, we had an absolute blast and lots of laughs filming this episode.

How Jeffrey Epstein rose from maths nerd, to a financial fixer for elites, to the boss of blackmail: ‘If you look at Epstein’s operation, what it looks like to me is that it’s a criminal operation on a number of different levels. Epstein is an interesting case because where does he come from? Well, he doesn’t come from a wealthy family. He doesn’t come from an influential family. He was a Long Island kid who was good at mathematics…he was a kind of smart, nerdy kid who made friends by doing their math homework. You’re not popular because you’re a jock. You’re not popular necessarily because you’re that good-looking or you dance well. You’re popular because you can do other people’s math homework and get them to pass. His whole career is ingratiating himself to wealthy, powerful people. What did he do as a financial advisor? Look at it. Just stand back and look at what he did. And what he did was that he helped them dodge taxes. He also helped them hide money. He could help people discover money that had been hidden abroad. He could help them hide money. If you do one, you can do the other. And that’s how he moved as a kind of fixer and arranger into the realm of the rich and powerful. And in that process, either he or other people who were working with him found out that these people can be compromised in a number of ways. And so then you start installing cameras in your residences, in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. There’s only one reason you do that. It’s fairly simple. The only reason why you collect all of this video information on your rich and powerful friends is to potentially use it as leverage against them. You don’t have to actually use it. You simply have to make them aware that you have it and could use it.’ -Prof. Richard Spence on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW:

He was a Long Island kid who was good at mathematics…he was a kind of smart, nerdy kid who made friends by doing their math homework. You’re not popular because you’re a jock. You’re not popular necessarily because you’re that good-looking or you dance well. You’re popular because you can do other people’s math homework and get them to pass. His whole career is ingratiating himself to wealthy, powerful people. What did he do as a financial advisor? Look at it. Just stand back and look at what he did. And what he did was that he helped them dodge taxes. He also helped them hide money. He could help people discover money that had been hidden abroad. He could help them hide money. If you do one, you can do the other. And that’s how he moved as a kind of fixer and arranger into the realm of the rich and powerful. And in that process, either he or other people who were working with him found out that these people can be compromised in a number of ways. And so then you start installing cameras in your residences, in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. There’s only one reason you do that. It’s fairly simple. The only reason why you collect all of this video information on your rich and powerful friends is to potentially use it as leverage against them. You don’t have to actually use it. You simply have to make them aware that you have it and could use it.’ -Prof. Richard Spence on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW:

Confidence Pro Max: Remembering a Brother, a Filmmaker, and a Warrior Nick’s untimely death is a devastating blow to his family, friends, and Kenya as a whole. We didn’t see it coming, even after he was diagnosed in October 2025 with hypocellular myelodysplastic syndrome (h-MDS), a rare bone marrow disorder. When we went to see him in the hospital, he possessed such positive energy, he was convinced that he would beat this. He was Rambo a "one-man army" and we all believed he could beat it, too. He never looked defeated, or depressed, even as he began to lose weight. When he shaved his head in November, he sent me a photo and asked me to call him "Michael Jordan," after the Chicago Bulls legend whose signature look was a bald head. Even in sickness, he found a reason to smile. I met Nick in 2015, before he became a filmmaker. I remember him sitting in my office wearing a suit, asking for my support to go study filmmaking in Italy. After completing his course in Italy, his first major project upon his return was the award-winning documentary Softie, directed by Sam Soko. The film followed my journey as I ran for political office during the 2017 elections, and Nick was the one behind the drone shots. We became friends, and I enjoyed a front-row seat watching as he went on to document important stories. One of my favourites was his powerful 2021 BBC Africa Eye documentary, "Street Dreams." He directed and filmed a group of seven homeless young men in Nairobi who formed the "Street Family Dance Crew." He embedded with them to capture their raw determination to escape poverty, police harassment, and family issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a story that feels like a distant world today; those dancers used to perform outside nightclubs in the CBD, but the city has since become a ghost town. Many bars closed down and replaced by restaurants that shut their doors by 9:00 PM. It’s a story that captured a time in Nairobi that is long gone. In 2024, Nick and I united as he covered the protests. While I participated in the demonstrations, he worked on an unnamed film and we often discussed safety tips. I was a storyteller before I was an activist, so I knew a thing or two about staying safe in the streets while documenting potentially dangerous stories. When Nick was falsely arrested in May 2025, for allegedly producing the BBC documentary, Blood Parliament - two of the three people arrested with him were working with me. I received a call shortly after their arrest and faced the difficult task of calling my colleagues' parents to deliver the news. The arrest was hostile; they were forced to hand over their phones and passwords, and when their equipment was finally returned, it was infected with spyware. What remains hidden from the public eye after an arrest are the cold cells, the degrading police interrogations, the court arraignments, the stares, and the judgment from both friends and strangers. Sometimes even the loss of clients who don’t want to be associated with “enemies of the state.” On a personal level, the trauma of such an arrest can lead to depression, alcoholism, or insomnia. In Nick’s case, his body crumbled, a hidden disease manifested, and before we could truly understand what it was, it stole him from us. His passing is an indictment of our failed healthcare system. Good healthcare is not free. We do not have enough blood in our blood banks and patients must organize their own donors in both public and private hospitals. Furthermore, specialized medical care is so expensive and out of reach that his family and friends were in the middle of fundraising for a life-saving bone marrow transplant in India. I am glad that he was able to produce his latest work, The People Shall, last year. The documentary is a first-hand eyewitness account of the events of June 25th, 2024, when a new republic was born. In his honour, and in honour of the hundreds of thousands suffering due to poor healthcare in this country, may we take our power back. Nick was good people. He had a positive attitude toward life and brought love and laughter into every room he entered. He could lift heavier weights at the gym than people much older and bigger than him. I had the chance to lift weights with him and his co-accused friends; he was so confident that he was the only one lifting bare-chested. That was 'confidence pro-max,' and he beat us in lifting heavier weights and doing more sets. In September 2025, I woke up early to ensure my son was ready to go drone filming with Nick. My son had recently acquired his drone pilot license, and Nick had taken him under his wing as he worked on a new film - a project he was looking forward to finishing. He surprised us all with his early exit on January 7th, but we thank God we had the chance to spend time with him. As we grieve Nick’s death, may his story inspire you to leave that boring job, find your purpose, and live a life that leaves an impact. I am so grateful for Nick’s life. May God comfort his family and friends and give them strength. He will be dearly missed.

Justin Fields: Victim of bad spacing “50 yards passing!! Fields is terrible..” “11 passing attempts, what a joke!” “This is year 5, and he still can’t read defenses” “This has to be a bit!” I’m here to tell you with unequivocal evidence, that these are all lies. What if I were to tell you, that despite all of blame, hate, and finger pointing that Justin Fields is actually innocent of all the accusations? If you want the truth, then research what I am saying Tanner Engstrand is the number one issue with the Jets passing offense and you would be a fool to believe a new QB would alleviate the issue. Pull up the All-22!!! THE SPACING IS OUTTA HAND! No Qb can read a defense like this. Players are lost in their routes and where to lineup. Let’s look at Ben Johnson vs Tanner Engstrand. They came from same offense, same team, and worked together for some time. Why are things completely different? Play-calling experience: Engstrand = 0 years Johnson = 3 years NFL experience: Engstrand = 5 years Johnson = 13 years When I look at Ben Johnson’s offense, everything meshes together so well. QB’s drop correlates to his progressions, Qb has multiple open targets per pass play majority of the time, and QB is given proper spacing of WRs to truly read the defensive coverages. When I look at Tanner Engstrand’s film it is literally worst than high school. Multiple WRs running into each other constantly!! Penalty after penalty because players don’t know where to go. I see a coach only passing when it is obvious passing down. I see a coach completely confused, but not blame has been placed on him. So why aren’t people going at the coach? Why is Fields taking all the blame and Engstrand gets none! Aaron Glenn hired a rookie OC that has never called a game in his life. How do you expect a rookie OC to install an offense in the offseason if he has never even called plays before?! Glenn wanted to run the show with no push back from his coaches. So he hired rookie coaches that would do as he says. Run the ball, pass only when needed. Atrocious mindset… Moral of the story: Engstrand only calls a few passing plays to cover his own ass. This offense was not installed properly. To save face, he is allowing Fields to take all the hits as he sits back and hopes the Jets give him another year with another QB. If Fields had Ben Johnson as a coach, he would be a top 10 QB. He is a better runner and down the field thrower than Caleb Williams. Look at the spacing! Look at the route concepts! Look at the talent he has! Look at the protection!!! My God I’m happy for Caleb Williams, but he ain’t playing lights out the way he should be. If Caleb is winning games because of his legs, just imagine what Fields would’ve been doing in that offense… Let the wheat be separated from the tares father God…

Jim Jarmusch on how he got the idea to make "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999): "It really came about from wanting to work with Forest Whitaker, who I met when I was going to the Super-8 lab when I was working on 'Year of the Horse' (1997), or maybe on the video. I ran into him a couple of times and we would just start talking and he said to me the first time, "Hey, if you ever think of anything for me, let me know, I'd love to work with you." I couldn't get him out of my head, certain qualities that he has and it was more from talking to him as a person than his work. I was very, very moved by his portrayal of Charlie Parker in 'Bird' (1988). I thought it was a beautiful performance, although I'm a big be-bop fan and I did not like the movie in terms of its slant on depicting the life of Bird - how can you make a film about Bird in which Miles Davis is never even mentioned? There were a lot of things really odd to me about it. Miles' estate probably refused to let him use his name. With good reason. They usually use this very soft, gentle, poignant side of Forest and he gets cast as the loveable soft guy. And I'm really attracted to that quality, but there is a whole other side to him, just physically, his presence, there's more there than that and I wanted to get both of those things in a character. So I started thinking how can I do that? He should be a warrior and I thought he should be a hitman, that sort of cliché and then the samurai thing came to me because in eastern-culture warriors, there is a whole spiritual side to their training. If you look at the Shaolin monks in China, they're martial arts experts, but they are priests; they are enlightened religious teachers, but the physical side is also completely intertwined. So that gave me the idea to give him some depth. Then the book 'Hugga Kurai', because it's a text from the 1750s written by an old samurai as a guide to samurai life and philosophy. It contains so many things, minor, mundane details about the food you eat, or how your house is built, how often you clean your armour, to incredibly deep Zen philosophy, and it's all in this book and it jumps from one to the next. Then I just started collecting disparate ideas; I was interested in the decline of organised crime families in New York because I used to live right across from the Gambino family social club in Little Italy, and in the late 70s and early 80s when they were unravelling, and I would always see them on the street - John Gotti and Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano and Neil Belacroche and all those wise guys. So I collected some ideas about them, and the idea of pigeons came from the fact that on the roof behind me, there was an old Italian guy who had a pigeon coop for years. He died just before we started filming actually, and his birds were moved away, but I used to watch him fly his birds a lot and there was something very beautiful in that movement. Sometimes I'd just look out the window on a Saturday morning and see them moving, and the light would shift and they would go from black to white to black to white to black to white, and that was a detail. I would just collect and collect, and then I sat down and tried to weave all these disparate things into something." ("Jim Jarmusch - part three", The Guardian, 2000) P.S: On this day, 27 years ago, "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" (1999) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

🚨 NEW EPISODE FOR EUROPE'S MOST AMBITIOUS STARTUPS 🇪🇺 And this might easily be the best video we have done so far! The company, their product and the team is just insane. The goal of this company is to make money out of thin air – literally. No joke. TLDR: Heavy machinery, in the middle of London, easily one of the most cracked team is met in a while, and their first test site? A military base. What's crazy to me is that they are so heads down that nobody knows them yet… but still they already raised GBP 10M+ from the founders of stripe (Patrick Collison John Collison), Nat Friedman, Harry Stebbings, Pietro Invernizzi, taavet hinrikus and Plural and many more. The Company is RIVAN – Rivan Their product? Getting the CO2 out of the air and combine it with H2 from water -> to create gas, which they directly pump into the network grid to make money. The same kind of gas we currently have to pay Russia for… we fight wars for… just without drilling into the ground and releasing CO2, but "mining the sky" instead! This kind of tech is still in early stages – and tons of hypotheses have to be validated – but in the next five years the math can work out and if there's a team to figure this out, it's this one. I took my camera and visited Harvey Hodd and his team in their warehouse office in London and joined him to their first test site on a military base. I am a big fan of this guy. Intensity, obsession, technical competence. And the whole team is like this. In the video you will see how everything works… every machine… but also how they keep urgency in the team… how they pay people to move closer to the office… why they are already running a military base only a few months in… how this can even ever work economically… and how the hell do you avoid everything blowing up – literally. RIVAN – You can watch the full video on the youtube channel: Please RT + LIKE here and comment/share/like on youtube too please! Every little bit of engagement helps in youtube's algorithm! Let's frigging go! 👇

The hardest problems in AI aren't research problems anymore. They're deployment problems. It’s how we actually deliver real value, today, to build the future people want. That’s why, after 20 years in AI, my next step was inevitable: make robots do useful work for and alongside people, right now. Today, I am delighted to announce the launch of Walden Robotics to tackle just that. We started this year and are coming out of stealth today with a $300M seed round backed by some of the most serious companies and investors in the world. They have seen firsthand our general-purpose robots being useful in production on day one, and getting better every day after. You can see a glimpse of what we've been building in the video below. Physical AI has gone through a rapid phase transition, in part thanks to pioneering research from my friends and co-founders Russ Tedrake , Ben Burchfiel , Siyuan Feng, Rareș Ambruș , and many others at Walden. But from our long experience working together with co-founders Kerri Fetzer-Borelli and Dave Johnson, we learned how hard it is to deploy cutting-edge AI in a real, live, incredibly sophisticated production environment with an intricate ballet of automation and human ingenuity. That’s why we deliberately created Walden Robotics as a full-stack, human-centric, customer-focused robotics company from the start: we seeded the company with a world-class team across hardware, software, AI, deployment, operations, product, and business talent, so we could continuously optimize our whole system end-to-end, deeply and purposefully, from real-world experience with real customers. The efficacy of this strategy speaks for itself: since February, our general-purpose robots have been doing useful work in production at a Toyota plant in North America, moving from first pilot to real work in under two months. Not a lab. Not a demo. Not a future promise. Real work on a real line, today, at one of the best large-scale manufacturers in the world, with general-purpose robots that get better every day. And this is just the beginning. Two ways to find us: If you run a manufacturing or logistics business and want robots that are widely useful now, not someday, let's talk. We own “ for a reason! And if you want to build them: we're hiring across the company, from software, to hardware, AI, ops, product, business, and more. In particular, as the Chief Strategy Officer at Walden, I am recruiting for three incredibly impactful founding roles to fuel our agent-native go-to-market engine. Check out Let’s build together!

⚡️🇷🇺New full length interview from Andrey Gregoriev callsign "Tuta", with even more crazy details, particularly about the second counterattack assault which came after Andrey had already eliminated the first Ukrainian in the now-famous death match: It's a total hell that Andrei went through. There's no movie like this. It turns out that the hand-to-hand fight was only the beginning of a heavy battle. Andrei thought he had killed the AFU soldier with a line from his house. He went out and came face to face with him. He was scared - they fell to the ground, fighting to the death. At the very beginning of the melee he cut his hand with his own knife. But he defeated the enemy, silently and as fast as he could - the territory was under the AFU, there would be no help for sure - the Russian units were 6 km away. He said goodbye to the dying Khokhl, threw him a grenade and then finished him off with a shot: “he was mumbling something”. He went down to the basement of the house - examined his wounds, rewrapped himself. The vest was torn at the straps, the helmet didn't fit over his head - his right ear was swollen. I got up and took the radio from the AFU soldier. On the other side they were preparing a counterattack of 6 storm troopers. The enemy knew and saw the fight - they even argued on the air whether he was a Tuvinian or a Yakut. Six of them came, actively started pelting him with grenades, calling whether he was alive or not. Andrei was silent. The AFU men argued who would go to check him - one of them went, ours put him down at once. Again grenades and smoke grenades to smoke him out. Andrei soaked his hat in water and breathed like that. Then they argued again and sent one to check him - he put him in 300, he shouted for help. They ran out of grenades and decided to burn Andrei - they threw a “lighter” and then decided that he was dead. It was already evening around 22 hours. At 7 a.m. another group of the enemy came... 00: 33 Details of the combat exit: a dead comrade, a drone attack and the first injuries 02: 07 Why did Vsushnik offer "Tute" to surrender 03: 28 Exclusive fight details 04: 48 How the enemy almost took possession of the knife "Tuta" 05: 20 In such battles, only one survives 05: 40 Why yakut fought without a sound 06: 37 The last seconds of the life of an AFU militant 07: 24 VSUshnik's walkie-talkie helped "Tuta" to find out about the counterattack of the APU and buy time 08: 33 How the enemies realized that they were dealing with Yakut 08: 48 The militants tried to throw grenades at "Tutu" and bring them to talk 09: 15 "Tuta" ambushed enemy intelligence 10: 03 How water saved the hero from gas 10: 51 Why Grigoriev didn't kill the three hundredth 12: 03 Exploding phone, surviving watch and drones – how "Tuta" managed to jump out of the trap while the militants went for an RPG 14: 18 Yakut hand-to-hand combatant on how he put the flag of the Russian Federation at the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine 14: 50 What the fighter managed to do in 6 days in the enemy's territory 15: 34 "I should have done it myself" – why Grigoriev didn't burn the ammunition depot 18: 12 After the fight, the Yakut melee fighter repulsed four more APU attacks 20: 24 AFU militants were afraid of the help that allegedly came up 21: 07 Why did the first rollback attempt fail 22: 38 Vsushniki specially change into civilian clothes 23: 24 Enemies considered "Tutu" dead and it saved his life 25: 03 Chronicle of Yakut melee rescue 26: 59 Three prophetic dreams helped to get out to the Yakut melee fighter 28: 52 Why is it safer to go out on a postcard than through the forest 29: 50 How during the rollback "Tuta" helped our offensive 30: 41 Speed saved a fighter from death in a burnt-out MTLB 31: 22 Dead friends tried to warn Yakut about the drone strike 33: 18 How did the tasks of "Tuta" change in positions from flag setting to reconnaissance 33: 58 Family helped the fighter last 6 days 34: 22 Yakut melee destroyed a mortar crew of the Armed Forces of Ukraine 35: 54 Why in the most difficult moment the ancestors do not leave 36: 16 How Grigoriev was able to avoid death under the fire of his colleagues 38: 02 Why the fighter didn't want to call for help 41: 40 How "Tuta" did not learn his native language when returning to his own 42: 24 Why the fighter was not ashamed of tears when meeting with his comrades 43: 04 How many opponents did the Yakut melee fighter destroy 43: 32 Why Yakut melee 4 days kept the last cigarette 45: 18 How many combat exits did Andrey Grigoriev have 47: 20 Why the third fight becomes decisive 49: 13 History and fate of the saving knife 50: 28 Yakut melee fighter could not finish watching the video of his fight
