FALL: Recent Episodes
None
In honour of Ned Ludd we Fully Automated Luxury Luddites ramble about the state of our technological overlords and their intentions to remove us from the wheel of life and attach us to the circuit board of death. Possible anarchists, perhaps libertarian, pugnaciously attached to alteration and whimsy, provocatively plutocratic in our use of Ps, perhaps an example too far.
In which the Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss Hexen 2.0 (a Tarot card deck made for CERN); created people Monica Perez - Created People ; Elon Musk chat; Technogaianism; The Digital Seduction of Covid 19; The Raging Bull at the Commonwealth Games and symbolism; Bull Symbolism ; creativity and art as a tonic in our times; online personas and real fakes; language as thought and de-tribalism through language; post-modernism; psychedelics and meaning mixing with post-modernism; the value of the kooky people.

I am not numbering episodes any more, I see little point in it as I will destroy older episodes a we go so they will be named whatever seems most relevant. Does anyone keep podcast episodes in some form of archive all of their own? Are there avid podcast collectors, like record collectors who file and archive everything? I hope so, I am not one of them though, I think I am more inclined towards Fact 14
Thank you for listening. Even if 50% of you are AI algorithms I would say you deserve your freedom too.
In which the Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss the Last American Vagabond; the threads and the Gray Zone; extended Macca at Glastonbury/Pilton chat; broadcasting music festivals on television; the recording of live music performances; Miles Davis - So What ; musical nostalgia; replacement of belief systems with music and benediction; has inflation affected the illicit drug market; NHS and box ticking; legal fiction; corporations and government as a corporation and the consequences for a CEO; participation and perpetuating the nightmare and how we build it; value of labour and money, currencies and the manipulation thereof; crypto crash; gold crash; Polyphonc Spree ; https://off-guardian.org/2022/06/25/watch-interrogating-cold-war-2-0/ and some discussion ; the meaning of money and the post-western order; value for value; trapped in the debt-based monetary system; pulp fiction; Abbott and Costello - Who's on First ; Bringing over the Bottle ; I love You, Oh Sweet Kakheti

Then there was a screeching change of direction to discuss Russia's strong currency and the trade with the other nuclear powers followed by living as though terrain theory is true and a very extended chat about human faeces and composting. All topped off with the Alan Lomax collection:

In which two somewhat automated and less than luxury luddites have some vegetable chat followed by jubilee celebrations or lack thereof; Potemikin reality; green washing; the narrative becoming too complicated and long-winded; the politicisation of everything; taxes and MMT; freedom; the legendary Professor David Nutt; we are dirty sinners; free will and God's omnipresence; it all falls apart; some climate change chat - more required; the free market of evil and some other waffle.
It seems inaccurate to call this a regular ramble, it most certainly has not been that so until it has achieved a more fibrous and loose diet then it will just be a ramble. I am sure this is very important. Be well dear listener.
Ten things I believe I've learned about growing food (some is relevant to growing anything). From one beginner to other beginners. Experts who know better, please correct me by sending an email to me at >>this address
In a continuation of Andre's vegetable related extravaganza we present this week some onion and weeding related materials.
As an aside, FALL regular ramble will hopefully return in the coming weeks, having moved house and in trying to get the new place up and running I have had little time or energy for the podcast. Roger is the same as he tries to get his various projects, including gardening, up and running. Apologies for the spotty output, as ever, be well.
In a change from the regular/irregular/occasional podcasting ways today we have a short piece of allotment magic from Andres who has been getting his onions going. We will be endeavouring to do more content like this as who really wants to delve too deeply into the minds of the transhumanists and the technocrats, delve your hand deeply into the soil instead.
Hello dear listener, it has been some time since the Fully Automated Luxury Luddites broadcasted more of their ramble to you. I have moved house, a very positive step in life but a disruption to this most important of undertakings.
One order of business is that we will be removing the old podcasts while trying to maintain the interview with Greg and others, I have two reasons for this, one is that I do not currently have much of an income to speak of and the other is that it makes no sense to be speaking of impermanence and the futility of clinging and then to have a massive archive. This process should be more like radio, in destruction one often feels a sense of relief, just don't let Klaus hear me say that. Oh and the levels were a bit ropey because of my lack of attention and the shift to a new environment. They will hopefully be less variable next podcast.
In today's podcast FALL discuss mowers; gardening; permaculture; fertilizer; a brief foray into the news of the day; more fertilizer talk; what is it?; Roger's recent excellent summary of the state of human capital; the commons; we are made of mostly nothing.
Oh and here is the Charlie link I mentioned https://whoownsengland.org/2017/03/15/what-land-does-the-duchy-of-cornwall-own/
EDIT: The post about Alison McDowell that Drez enjoyed:

Your Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss the state of affairs with the finest rendition of German accents, this prompts a conversation about transhumanism; the awkwardness of conversing with people; entertainment not being entertaining; how entertainment once glued us together but now the entertainment is poor and our touchstone subjects are compromised; the observation problem; quantifying everything and everyone; doing nothing; tubular crisis; peak oil as a topic not to be mentioned; vish; footage of China*; the necessity of the other; CNN hypocrisy; smothering with kindness; kafkaesque kafka kafkering.
*it says something about the media landscape that we were led to be cynical about the truth of what happens around the world. One begins to wonder if the scepticism is always a healthy attitude to all events.

Where the Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss just what is going on in China to thoroughly unconclusive conclusions; Russia, gold, the dollar and the Rouble and how they are all now connected and there is a pseudo gold standard forming; Are we lucky?; Christian tradition/ethic and seeking absolution bleeding over into wider society and culture; the priority of property and money over all things; orthodoxy, evangilism and do-gooders; the media being seen as trustworthy and what can/cannot be done when discussing world issues with other people; the celtic cross as a racist image*; the media doing partial analysis dependent on propoganda; addiction to money; the state and scientism as the God head; when the party comes to an end.
*Link Regarding the Celtic Cross It turns out I know very little about the iconography of the different white supremacist groups. I am going to get some hoardings, see you at the Devil's Punchbowl. Interestingly in this article they do point out that it is contextual where concerns its application towards whether it is white-supremicist or not. What a complicated thing this is! It reminds me that even the most common symbol or icon can have a great deal of complexity attached to it.
Perhaps there is something outside of a religious context to be said regarding biblical ideas around engaging in idolatry.
The fully automated luxury luddites discuss how consumption of music changed with psychedelic experience and meditation; the usefulness of protest; tinnitus; the petrodollar; collapse of the dollar; dropped connections; plunder and how it changes hands; is the change of hegemon going to be better?; will green technology lose its lustre with the new world order; Alice Friedman's Life After Fossil Fuels; one resource to rule them all; technical problems; Scott Horton is part of https://antiwar.com/, a very worthwhile endeavour; streamlining of technology as a problem; politics as a redundant game; what is the general inter-personal atmosphere about Ukraine; globalisation is done; covid ongoing damage and Mark Crispin Miller; the pointlessness of politicians.
After we stopped recording Roger mentioned that much of the reason people may watch the MSM or any of these other things is to feel like they are part of society and it allows people to have something to talk about. I feel like this is spot-on and we shall endeavour to talk about this in the next podcast.
On reflection my playing at the start was a bit ropey, might have a redux of this at some point.

We welcome a new speaker to FALL this week*, Dunn and your Fully Automated Luxury Luddites watched the following video by Ray Dalio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xguam0TKMw8 which I recommend giving a watch and will be discussing the history of economies and how the current world order came to be after World War 1 & 2; gold, silver and FIAT currency, the history and implications; new financial instruments and the changing strength of currencies and empires; power as gangsterism; reasons why silver is a unique product and the best investment; engineered obsolescence; mild covid chat; the inevitability of a crash and burn; infinite growth; more gold and silver chat; the jobs that pay the money are really the most corrupt jobs in society; short termism; who is master blaster?; truly who is running what; bitcoin and some other various stuff of chattering.
*Quick Note: The is the occasional ding from our new speaker's phone throughout. Apologies for this, I hope you can resist the need to look at your phone with that just-in-case feeling there is something important that requires attention.
Quick thing off the bat: upon reflection, we start off sounding a little flippant about the plight of the Ukranian people. What is being done to these people under the auspices of global progress is disgusting. The flippant tone is mainly aimed at what is being thrown our way by the hollywoodisation of global conflict.
We discuss the following: the global entertainment capturing the people; the geographical reasoning for the so-called invasion; whether people have the heart for this show; the break-up of states and nationalism; local community and regressionism; Whig movement and population control; water capture and purification; petroleum expiration. The rest of the show is a conversation about my psychedelic experience. It is possible one might find this conversation either destabilising or ridiculous so make of it what you will. It is not for everyone. Any mystical experience is hard to translate but hopefully our efforts find a soft and comforting home in your ear holes.
The Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss the conflict that is currently engaging the media-sphere; intelligence agencies; bit of covid; Snow Piercer (apparently it is 1001 carriages long) and the different tiers of society; slave labour; a discussion around off guardian's article; third rail HIV discussion.
Some links from today's show:
Intelligence agency stuff: https://thequieterone.wordpress.com/2022/02/28/ukraine-read-listen-watch/
Fauci and HIV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wy3frBacd2k&feature=youtu.be
On that one I should say, the AZT stuff is truly one of the most surprising and horrific things about all this.

The music at the start is from Command and Conquer: Red Alert. Next week I will be coming live from the only place where I can escape the bourgeois capitalism: the empty space of my mind!
The Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss colds and gunk; smells and perfumery; Ukraine, Russia, US, UK and the mysterious maschniations of power; ESG, the future and just what are you trying to achieve; dealing with surplus; future primitivism; The Dawn of Everything by Graeber and Wengrow and the supposed progression of humanity; UK Column 's Documentary about Foot and Mouth; Velvet Howl and his new tune.
Introduction music taken from Jazzin About by Pamela Wedgewood.
Shorter episode this week, we still veer all over the place. For people who are sober we sure drive like we are drunk.
Some chinwag involving the swirling mass that is the information age where every thread can be followed; valentine's day and present giving; how many why questions are enough; being greedy with time, economics and addiction; vampirism as addiction; Guy Clark (I believe) on Heartworn Highways dropped the excellent idea that one "should not drink a barrel of whiskey just because there is a barrel of whiskey there"; the products around us and what can be done to avoid the worst excesses of the pollution done by the small build up of toxic things* ; convenience; politics and reality as a fiction and the psychedelia of the narratives; Ned Price raking their evidence over the coals; Olympics and the purpose of it, (I realise I did not attribute the author of the thought around why there wont be a war during the olympics and it was from the No Agenda podcast); the outward movement of people from the cities; going off grid; city life versus country life; community-led district heating systems; smaller communities and the pace of life; insurance and some other stuff. The tune at the end was Pink Lady from Pamela Wedgwood's Jazzin' About.
*This is perhaps an idea that could be refocused on many aspects of life, especially ones media consumption
Today we have an interview with Alan Buttle regarding his views on Julian Assange and the narrative around him and Wikileaks. There is also a conversation around the wider landscape of control mechanisms. Thank you to Alan for the interview. His podcast can be found here https://www.podcasts.com/alan-buttle-radio-show-3ffaa8b26
For today's delectation and commiseration we discuss Kali Yuga Blues (Bardo Pond) and the big and small waves of time and human behaviour; once again a thank you to the Lucky Cat for some musical truth Hempress Sativa - Scheme and the fact that the creativity of humans is uplifting; climate emergency and what does that mean in the current context; The Bank of England and its credibility; pessimism or optimism about the future; money as a proxy for some imagined version of what you want to be in the future; commoditisation of nature; people are lost until they are not; mandates: showing your papers and the legality with which these things are based; GDPR as a vector for understanding the technocratic officialdom.
I should say, with regards of the Kali Yuga, I do not know a great deal about it, I should learn more of this area of history/scripture/discipline. As it is I see it as academically interesting and it can work as a thought process for understanding the now. This is probably a little cold and unworthy but I am a heathen. The references I have heard to Kali Yuga and repetitive cycles recently sparked the initial esoteric thinking about cycles. Hopefully I will learn more and start to sharpen the currently blunt understanding.
I suppose Roger's question about what one is supposed to do with the knowledge of cycles is a good one; something to ponder on. What do any of us do with this, what exactly is progress and is it possible? All good questions.
Also, dear listener, apologies for there being no take-down of Dr John Campbell as of yet as I did suggest it was going to be released last week. I realised I was approaching it wrongly but hopefully I will have a good old onanistic verbal deluge up this week.
In which the Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss the failure of Labour to offer a comprehensive and honest appraisal of themselves and the Tories. Other subjects include Betty and the kids that are the five eyes; how to have awkward conversations and work towards a convincing argument; Roger's Substack and his article regarding State of Emergency - Kees van der Pijl ; the narrative breaking apart; more Watts wisdom; Andres on a tear; the truncheon of the state; Assange; Foot and Mouth; why are we not going back to the core of the covid problem; Australia/Eurasia being a wonderful placement in the game of Risk; Google is not so innocent after all
Also special thanks to a lucky cat who sent this article to us regarding the Grauniad. https://leftiehistorian.wordpress.com/2022/01/16/fear-and-panic-in-progressive-england-the-guardians-pandemic/
Torpedo that like button and share with your battleship.
In which we noodle around a bit in a liminal space of podcasting or not podcasting or not not podcasting. In regards of the initial choice of keyboard sounds and music; this was done while we were waiting around but if anyone is keeping score it was 10 (All or Nothing At All) for the music and 7 in the organ sound group on my keyboard.
Skip to: 15 minutes if you do not fancy our musical meanderings and want to get straight into the chat.
Arguments within the anti-covid-regime movement Link to Article Mentioned; Germ Theory; Unlearning thought and education; legal tender, companies depositing cash being charged by banks; Legal Tender - Hayek ; Peter Thiel and Eric Weinstein; how we deal with the opinion makers who we still respect in different spheres to the cv19-regime conversation; privatisation of the NHS; suspicion growing in Sweden; Dawn of Everything and Pinker being wrong, how this effects me and how wrong I was; colonial mum and dad and the kids; the commonwealth suffering from Stockholm Syndrome ; The Last American Vagabond ; scripture, the different language and how we relate to each other and our ideas; Robert Maxwell being bad for science .
I wanted to add a small thing here to do with the Pinker conversation: when talking about this idea outside of the show it was pointed out that flitting between one person's opinion and another set of opinions requires further consideration. What is it that was correct in the first instance and what is the sufficient level of argumentation from another side in order to sway towards a different opinion? In this regard I feel like Graeber and Wengrow are arguing from a position that matches more of my world-view and first principles. They argue for natural, long-lasting and robust understandings that are passed down through lineage and thought leaders and that they can and often do come from all over the world and all the different societies and tribes. This chimes much more with my understanding than Western thought and the Enlightenment being some singular thing that supersedes all other thought. I suppose this is science.
In which there is a new experiment with the intro to the show and then we discuss the pursuit of music as a discipline and disciplines occasionally being a bit too much for us and those around us; tension in discussions with friends and family; the use of contentious language when trying to explain ones version of reality; agreeableness and disagreeableness makes a return to the plodcrast; sport and heart attacks; Milgram experiments and how authority functions; acting out the human mind into the world via drivers in the brain and how it is leading to mental illness; They Live; The Dawn of Everything and the rebuke of champions of the enlightenment; enlightenment around the c-regime; transactions as a method of showing the false ideas that some shops are acting under; some half-baked gender chat which will need more work as an idea and needs to be fleshed out; coercion and we to some degree talked passed one another, another future conversation; political skullduggery; Adam Curtis and translations of that word and a continuation of the musical experiment.
There was some contentious opinions in here, there is some refining required, I am sharpening my axe of ideas.
Side note: I had played Heart and Soul before in the past but I misunderstood the question as I thought he meant on the podcast. Next week I will hopefully be a bit more at it :-)
Topics of discussion:
Djokovic; Link to article mentioned regarding how things are changing; Mass formation/hysteria; contentious stuff about the T word; Houdini suicide; politicians and decision makers; anarchism; government and the hydra, more Djokovic; risk management; spam texts; Alan Watts; Northern Ireland Renewable Scandal
Happy New Year to all. I do not do resolutions but if I did I would have a resolution to be the kind of person that makes resolutions.
In which we discuss aliens and Avril Haines giving a speech at the Our Future in Space forum; colds and treatments, MRNA and space, nuclear bombs to get into space; nuke it from orbit to be sure; kompromat, money and power; parties from yesteryear; calculations of gesture and Gove, why does he have a collection of little shoes; Johnson is a Johnson; conjecture about tired all the time; different levels of information and why some people are allowed to maintain their social media accounts; PR stunts for war; propagandised people; control mechanisms.
As stated on the podcast, we will be taking a short break, there may be one more before Christmas but we shall see. If not then I hope you have a lovely Chrimbo. Do get drunk and rant about our times whenever the opportunity presents itself, the drunker the better.
Spam crawlers really are amazing, I have put my email address in these comments a couple of times and I am getting increasingly impressive emails that work around spam filters. This was a completely fresh email account that was picked up almost immediately by the spam crawlers. Well done humanity for creating such a worthwhile service. I am sure it was worth it in some fashion.
Be well.
In which we discuss nuclear energy as a solution to energy problems, coal and oil, electric vehicles, the non beaten path and the thrill, the veil of ignorance, confronting the world unfolding, the left and liberty, the cat makes an interruption, repetition of content and ideas, peak silicon computer chips, cult of technology and energy projection, alternative visions, compassion for the people, Donald Sutherland and a speech about oil, the property market, basic science and 5 to 10 years away and down payment on the future.
One thing of note: I had one random moment (just one? -ed) where I asked why it is that we do not listen to those who have the most sensible things to say during any epoch. It segued unsmoothly, I think it is an interesting question and something to consider in a future conversation. I was not trying to suggest that we are those people with the most sensible things to say, rather we learn what we learn and discuss from those people. There is an interesting thing happening with direct access to expertise as is possible in our times and this should lead us back to talking about the mediated environment.
Regarding the music and not something I got into on the podcast: The joyous eighties lush sound seems so far away but it is notable that in times of strife modern culture tends to skew towards a more hedonistic and outwardly joyous-seeming culture. Cabaret covers some of this with aplomb. Certainly popular culture seems to have a psychopathic tilt towards the bubbly and vapid. Witness the weekly deposit of mania and constructed joy of something like Strictly Come Dancing.

https://finalhour.substack.com/p/nuclear-pushpart-i
In which we continue our vigil discussing the new transformer variant; a cry for help from our erstwhile ruler (or not); winter slow down; the continuing efforts of those in for the protests; how even people who have written books on a subject cannot see the truth; incompetency versus intentionality; the worm coming to the surface, the juice that creates; the good of doing things; the different experience of reality; world war three; Gulf of Tonkin; our ignorance of history; things disappearing from the web and link rot; the big game of countries and power; the fair game of choppy conspiratorial waters; what are we passing into the future; Dan Brown as the most important author; what is our legacy; the death of culture; who occupies the conversation about the future and direction.
I recorded a rather weird intro for this one and it was probably a bit cack so in the honour of destruction as a positive force when creating things I have released this one without a random introduction. I have even forgone my usual random wittering at the end. Some days, with even the best intentions, ones output is cack.
In which we discuss: Roger's substack on the dogma around the virus ossifying; professionalising of campaigning for the opposition; dogmas in all media; pressures external and internal; Ian McGilchrist's new book, right brain versus left brain; pressure and creation; control groups; el gato's meme about the ladder and succession of messaging; fabrication and trustworthiness of information; architecting society; the complicated landscape; backlogue of conveyancing in Devon ; relocation of the people out of cities and the pressures involved; hugs, kisses and more hugs again; the happiness of people; culture; theatre; what is smuggled into entertainment and the infantilisation of the people. We did not stick on much for too long.
Quick note: the quote about wisdom that I did not remember quite correctly and thus cannot find with my lazy internet searches can be found, I am pretty sure, in Modern Wisdom's 400th episode. It is also a good listen.
I swear this time is trying to turn us all into paranoics on all sides. Does anyone; mainstream, not mainstream, right, left, centre at this time seem sane from your perspective? Even the otherwise trustworthy people sound mad if one considers the main narrative to be the most cogent and un-mad.
Is it possible we cannot maintain what is normal because that was always an illusion. Normal was just a set of ideas that people seemed to cohere around and that is what is breaking apart.
Or it is all just the internet manifesting so much disinformation that actual reality is perfectly sensible but we are all just being dragged into the psychosis of bots and binary. Either way, this all sounds sensible to one person and mad to another. We have all become the friend we used to worry about.
One last thing, if anyone has an objection to my idea of purging the archive as we go then please let me know on dozeyrepose@protonmail.com as I really like the idea. I should have made a further point in the introduction that I rather like the ephemerality of it all; it is more like a radio show where that once spoken and broadcast is gone in time. All these opinions will shift and move with time so why sweat keeping the conversation that is the refinement of the idea. We will most assuredly keep the interview with Greg though, along with any other content worth the retention.
I will, however, be inscribing, "people love to consume vignettes of misery" on to vellum.
In which there is a solocast with a Lecture on Nothing as outlined by John Cage and first printed in Incontri Musicali, August 1959. There is some waffle at the start where my lack of cogency may come through quite strongly.
During the lecture I went a bit off track at times, which is, I suppose, to be both expected and even encouraged - it is hard to say. This may not be for everyone and is pretty far from all the normal chat of doom. Perhaps it will fail in the same way that the mass global experiment will fail, fingers crossed.
Sometimes the doom is too much and the nothing is all there is.
In which Roger and Mark most assuredly ramble about what a load of old tosh the world as presented continues to be. We expect the CCDH to send a furiously typed letter about what bad people we are.
On today's menu is a starter of equanimity, followed by a main of bad language and misanthropy with a desert (or pudding if you prefer) of deconstruction. All this without the aid of substances of sense pleasure, the only pleasure to be found is in swearing and calling everything crap - which it is.
I feel like I should warn the listener of the bad language contained herein but the idea that you might play this to a young person fills me with both dread and hilarity. Sometimes certain words should be saved for certain people.
Smash that button, I do not care which one, just make sure to smash it.
In which we talk at length about addiction to smoking and our lives, poetry, journaling, shameless music plugs (Ahem), biscuits and the environmental age of stuff and things where the global north and global south are globally something something...
That sort of thing anyway. In a continuing theme of synchronisity I happened to end up listening to Modern Wisdom talking about dopamine and addiction in between recording and editing the podcast. Check that out here. I am obviously plugged into a zeitgeist that prompts my ramblings, perhaps I am not really an individual but merely a vessel for the waves of thought that emanate from the universe moment by moment.
The clips heard towards the end of the show are from BBC Newsnight.
In which we discuss Iran Contra and the crack epidemic, the prison industrial complex, socialism, marxism, communism, the enclosure act, Private Public Partnership, PFI, Rage Aginst the Machine (apparently)*, Hypnosis, illusions and the normal political failure that is our time of suckage.
*ironically during the chat I said I could not confirm the RATM but could confirm the Taylor Hawkins one but upon trying to confirm it I could find nothing on the first few pages of two search engines so I don't know /shrug
Be well dear listingner
In which we discuss self antigens, immune systems, the shallow society, anti-intellectualism, different approaches, resistance - peaceful or violent, ridicule and sarcasm, local resistance, building Kingston back better, environmental resistance organisations, French versus British resistance and a variety of other things including an article from OffGuardian. This article can be found here https://off-guardian.org/2021/09/13/covid-9-11-forever-war/ It is worth noting that the first result in my search engine was that this site is misinformation. I am sure the great search engine algorithms know better than our own eyes and experience but anyway...
In which nicotine, lovely nicotine....mmmmmm...ahem, I mean, err, technical problems, Gabor Maté, stress, yuppie flu, precise language, mental torture, Transition Town, Velvet Revolutions, carbon dioxide, trivial solutions, the illusion, re-wilding, spooky action at a distance and how is this different to the sun being conscious oh and some other stuff, this is long enough.
I. AM. NOT. TETCHY.
Be well.

As you can see this flows all over the place, this is the regular ramble.
Hello listeners!
No messing here, we have a treat for you. We interview Gregory Sams, author of The State is Out of Date. Greg runs down the reasons for the abject failure of the state, illuminates the self-organisational capabilities of nature - of which we are a part, lest we forget - and provides us with some guidance on how to respond to the madness and cruelty of a system which thrives on the exploitation of its subjects. Those are the core topics, but you'll also hear about the living sun, learn who invented the vegeburger, enjoy tales of good and bad trips, and come out the end a more dynamic and determined renegade.
You can get in touch with Greg at his website, which you should do: https://gregorysams.com/

Listeners: you are welcome.
A's Take on the picture and the current world as heard on theses recordings is that "its a song and dance and a Tug of War all at the same time", between the People Government Corporations, forces beyond one's comprehension, whilst trying to live your life as normal as possible! Normal As Possible!
Where will this scene that is being played out with the vaccines end, noone really knows! But one thing for certain is that documenting the current tug of war been played out between "People aka Pure Bloods" and Technocratic Corporate Governments will be exciting and enlightening at the same time.
Andres probes the thoughts of podcaster Alan Buttle, a man he first met on the street at a recent protest. Alan has some views to share on Julian Assange, among other topics.
Andres writes: "Always ask, why? Are we living a lie? Is everything we see and live a script controlled by a greater darker force? Even who we might thought of as a friend is a foe and is all played out for our entertainment!? Pod is rough and rudimentary but does pose some questions about the "reality" we are living, you can Believe It Or Not, as Mr Ripley use to say. Alan Buttle discusses many topics, one proposes a hypothesis on the origin of the Julian Assange saga! Or perceptive show that it may be."
You can contact Alan here, here or here.

Hello Listeners Amigo A here ; On my short trip into London I stumbled onto a poster on the train (picture inserted into show notes ), on existing Waterloo I requested to speak to the Station Master who was a Young chap call Gus, he was very Polite, well spoken and certainly impressed me with his professionalism as I pontificated over my annoyance of seeing such Rot and that the money which I pay towards keeping the SWT service running goes on propaganda and Fear Mongering, something I which I object to and suspect many other travelers may well do so but have not yet come out to vent their disappointment in such an Act.
I invite SWT to contact me on etcheba@icehous.io, and I will be happy put their representative on the show and provide them with a platform to furnish us the paying customer (AKA Self loading cattle to many corporates ) with all of the details of what that poster really means! The aim of this POD is highlight the inadequacies of these Corporate companies ( Government included) which provide utilise condescending and patronizing posters to both insult travelers intelligence whilst push the proper Government Agenda of control.
Andres takes up some issues with the local council. Local services degraded and shuttered, thanks to CVD nonsense, but the council charges remain.
In which the intrepid Andres chats to the fair folk of the land who have a problem with those that tyrannise us.
After my comments at the end I sit here wondering if my house is about to flood.
In which we finish up our commentary on the March in June and our clips. The audio quality is a bit up and down as with so much audio these days. Bit of chat about education which I did not evidence or explain very well, there is a seed of an idea in there.
Enjoy your freedom everyone!

Some remarks from Andres about the collection and use and unsubtle manipulation of jab stats in the UK. Again, we draw on the sterling work of UK Column as a springboard for this comment. Please head over to UK Column and get yourself listening:
https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/3h58h-44596/UK-Column-Podcasts
In which we delve into more of the clips that were taken from the large march that Andres attended with his roving interviewing ways.
We are all drawn to things, whatever they are, I am drawn to amateur philosophising mixed in with the occasional quantifiable fact to create a patchwork of viewpoints that make me - what I like to think is - a good person who wants the best for people. Yet I am also drawn to being inflammatory and irreverent.
This sentence is a lie. Not sure about those other ones.
Andres introduces some thoughts concerning public discussion and activism by controlled opposition to the policing bill, inspired by a clip borrowed from UK Column.

The London march was big.
It was very big.
Fascinating legal filing from Francis Hoar et. al. concerning constitutional arrangements in Canada and the Commonwealth.
"A Statement of Claim was filed on 11th January 2021 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against world leaders, from the Pope down, including:
- POPE FRANCIS, THE HOLY SEE, THE STATE OF THE VATICAN,
- THE SOCIETY OF JESUS,
- HM QUEEN ELIZABETH II, THE ORDER OF THE GARTER, THE HOUSE OF WINDSOR (FORMERLY SAXE COBOURG GOTHA),
- GLOBAL VACCINE ALLIANCE (GAVI),
- the UN’s WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION/PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATION OF CANADA,
- BILL AND MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION,
- PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU,
- DR. THERESA TAM,
- PREMIER DOUG FORD,
- CHRISTINE ELLIOTT,
- MAYOR JIM WATSON,
- ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA,
- THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR ONTARIO"
In which the people air their views, whatever they might be. The human race is quite the diversity. If you have some words to send our way then you can contact us via dozeyrepose@protonmail.com or thequieterone@protonmail.com
Special thanks to Andres for his interviews. It was very interesting to capture this moment of such a range of understandings of the world and reality. This, I feel, was captured very well.
Andres steps up to offer some well-considered views on a few of the clips from the last London rally. He addresses the divided society, the global, totalitarian project, being treated like children, and the cult of the NHS. You will notice an invitation is issued to us respond to him. And respond we will, in due course. Mark is up next.
And now that I think about it, you can get in touch with responses too, if you like. To any of this. Email us:
thequieterone@protonmail.com
dozeyrepose@protonmail.com
We will read and respond to your responses and look forward to hearing from you. Maybe we'll get you on to chat some time in the future? Onwards, fellow humans.
In which Roger comments on two of the interviews taken during the last large-scale march.
No joke, at 2.25.35 : "A new world order behind closed doors."
In which we discuss nothing. The people who attended the last large organised march for our freedoms are brought together in one clip compendium for your unabridged listening pleasure. Credit to those anonymous people. They are great and it is heart-warming to hear people out and about and not living in fear.
There is a strange overlap between the tweeting birds of previous podcasts and the horns and general hubbub of these recordings. I would like to claim some kind of artistic work here but coincidence is a muse that should always be indulged.
In which we have such a free-range conversation there is little point going over all of it here. Safe to say it is more covid chat and indeed, we do venture into the larger ramifications around bitcoin and some other subjects. It's a conversation so it flows around wildly, certainly my laid-back way became increasingly forward. What a rubbish sentence, I'm no kind of wordsmith! Begone my tortured metaphors!
Also, I waffle quite a bit at the end, hopefully with purpose. Hopefully the music denotes the mood.
Ahem...I mentioned Brett Weinstein's podcast so here it is https://youtu.be/-_NNTVJzqtY Caution: it is quite alarming.

In which we welcome a new member into the fold. Two-thirds live from an allotment, peppered with thoughts from participants in the recent huge rally in London against the corona nonsense, courtesy of our roving reporter brother.
We bounced around a little discussion on the popular (and incredibly provocative) topic of 'does the virus exist?' Here are some links that we shared with each other prior to the show:

The loudest of the birds on the recording is, of course, a blackbird. Listen in isolation here or go for the real human option: just open your window and enjoy.
We got a brain...
In which we discuss supply chains, smoking and lovely nicotine, new creations, the doom machine that is the internet, UFOs - because who isn't discussing them at this point, Transhumanism, yet more conspiracy chat and the realisation that they are not at the grindstone of progress for you.

Quick Note: there is some headphone bleed on my microphone which at times make it sound like someone else laughing in the background. Sounds sort of like a reverb or something. An odd feature, maybe a bug.

I feel like the next podcast will likely be on this last subject so you can get ahead of us and do the reading. This will also mean that when I half-arse the reading and understanding; instead forming some wacky opinions, then you will be able to chuckle to yourself as I spout the nonsense of the ignorant.
In which the Fully Automated Luxury Luddites discuss the return of the world (that is the UK, not the world), NPCs, what was happening in April 2020 and how information dissemination began, the now standard prattling on about meditation and some other stuff. That aforementioned stuff will be expanded on at some point.

A solo piece wishing you a Happy Earth Day. Consumerism into Earth Day doesn't go, the endless corporate con, wasteful solutions to false problems, mining disasters present and future, the physics of the failure to electrify, the inherent unsustainability of development, the new imperialism, the siamese twins of the apocalypse, the recovery.

Note to future historians: this Canadian study was published and noticed by us:
https://insight.jci.org/articles/view/146316/pdf
"...we determine that more than 90% of uninfected adults showed antibody reactivity against the spike, receptor-binding domain (RBD), N-terminal domains (NTD) or the nucleocapsid (N) protein from SARS-CoV-2."

Almost everyone already had existing immunity to the virus behind the 2020 scandal and catastrophe.
In which we discuss what gets the most people listening, is it just length or does girth of conversation count? Photoshop alternatives and subscription packages. Pharmaceutical advertising. Virtual world versus physical world in finance. Morris Dancers. Fashion, tanning and makeup. Some ill-informed waffle about first principles and the anthropological world view. Puzzles without solutions. Ever shifting landscape. Inactive listening and the mind. The middle east peace envoy war criminal. Iraq war. Monkey Island.
Future historians: don't miss the fact that anal swabs are being done, right now, on people travelling into China.

One note: Radiolab Fritz Haber piece by Radiolab, they outline the complicated figure of Haber very well.
We referred to a video that is well worth a watch:
Conversation between Brett Weinstein and Daniel Schmachtenberger.
Six straightforward minutes to describe how antibody dependent enhancement works and why you really should be getting warned about this risk, as well as a bonus hypothesis about being trapped in an endless cycle of jab updates to stay ahead of the risk of ADE.
This was published just before Gates started harping on about needing a third jab. You best believe that will become a fourth , then a fifth etc. Always something to look forward to.
