United Kingdom that threatens the very fabric of the British society.
And the means of distribution of this nefarious plot is fabric.
Actually it's yeah, it's apparently flying the British flag. That
is the that's the threat. Apparently. Yeah, an army of
patriotic campaigners. This is from the Daily Mail, so it's
from the UK and so they write and speak a
little funny over there. That's why we seceded from them.
But anyway, an army of patriotic campaigners have vowed to
continue putting up England and Union jack flags despite council
workers ripping them down. Council is like the municipal governments
and stuff. It's an online movement which I'm surprised the
Brits have not been able to completely ban all social media.
I think if they maybe reach out to Winnie the
Pooh over there in communist China, they may be able
to get some tips on how to restrict all of
the access to the social media platforms. Where Operation Raise
the Colors which is spelled incorrectly. Apparently it's Colours So
they've misspelled the name of their own campaign for some reason.
But it's called Operation Raise the Colors. It is being
fomented online. Birmingham City Council provoked a major backlash by
announcing that it would begin removing hundreds of the flags
from the city streets. And the reason they are removing
the flags of their own nation is due to quote,
safety reasons, safety reasons. Well, okay, before I dismiss this
apparent dumbassy out of hand, I'm going to maybe give
them the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe the flags
are like those really really big flags that the CEO
of Camping World, Marcus Lamonis, keeps putting up over his
RV and camper lots that are like, you know, the
size of seven football fields, And maybe they're hanging too low,
and maybe they're like suffocating people or crushing them under
the weight of the fabric they fall down or something.
Maybe there are some legitimate safety reasons. Again I'm not
really buying it, but let's see what they let's see
what their explanation is. Critics have pointed out that Palestine
flags were allowed to fly in parts of Birmingham and
the East London Borough Had which have large Muslim populations,
and they were allowed to fly for months without being
challenged by authorities. Okay, so maybe they weren't as big.
Maybe that's the deal. Maybe they didn't make the Palestine
flag as big or something, and so there was no
safety reasons and that's why they were allowed to fly
for so long. Operation Raised the Colors has led to
communities across the country hanging up flags on their streets,
including Bradford, Newcastle of the Beer Fame, Norwich and the
Isle of Wight. And that's not spelled w h I
t E. This is w Ight, so lest you think
this is some racialized thing, and so they're flying these
flags in defiance of council bands. Later in this article,
Downing Street, which is the Prime Minister, they were like,
we call it the White House, they call it Downing Street.
So Downing Street backed the flying of the national flags,
although stopped short of commenting on individual cases such as
the disputes specifically in Birmingham and Tower Hamlets. Sir Kiir
two tiers Starmer, that's what they call him over there now.
They call him two tier tier because there are two
tiers of justice in the UK now, the official spokesman said, quote.
The Prime Minister has always talked about his pride in
being British, his patriotism. Patriotism will always be an important
thing to him. As of Sirkir two tier was supportive
of people putting up English flags, as spokesman said, Oh absolutely,
we put up English flags all around Downing Street every
time the English football team women's and men's are out
trying to win games for us. Bully Bully, We're just
like these campaigners. I added that last part, including the
bully bully. There were fractious scenes on the streets of
Tower Hamlets, though on a small team of council cleaners
so municipal workers began to cut down the flags from lampposts.
The authority is led by LUTF Rachmann. He is a
member of the Aspire Party, which is a pro Palestine party,
and he had previously refused to remove hundreds of Palestine
flags that were hanging from lampposts and council buildings in
the borough because well, he did not want to quote
destabilize community cohesion. Yes, that's what would do it that
destabilizes cohesion, right, it's not the presence of thousands or
tens of thousands of asylum seekers. It's not them and
their presence and their exertion of power and their different
cultural norms, their ideology that they bring with them from
the lands they fled, to the land they preferred to
live in, and yet still fly the flags of the
land they fled, or actually a country that doesn't even exist,
but that never has. But regardless, that's why you leave
the flags up. But when you try to hoist the
colors of Britain, that will now create division two. So
you have to fly the flag of Pakistan sorry, buck
is done, and the Palestinian flag. You got to leave
those up for months so as to not destabilize community cohesion.
And you cannot leave the flag of your own country
flying because that too would destabilize community cohesion. Look, I'm
just a simple man, But why would people who come
to a country obviously preferring it. They traveled a great distance,
spent a lot of money to get there. Why would
that country's flag be offensive to them. That's a brainbuster
for me. I don't understand if you're like I really
like when I moved down to South Carolina, came down
from New York, I graduated high school, went to school
in South Carolina, and frankly, I believe South Carolina does
have the best, if not one of the best, state flags.
I like it. I like the cut of its jib.
I like the way it looks. It's simple, it's clean,
I like the color pattern. I like it. It did
not offend me. I didn't move down to South Carolina
and be like, you got to change that flag. Oh
my gosh, I can't believe I'm looking at this flag.
It's the state flag. When I moved to North Carolina,
I am not offended by the state flag of North Carolina. Now,
I think there are some improvements that could be made,
but it doesn't matter. Like, I'm not offended by it.
It doesn't disrupt, it doesn't destabilize me. I chose to
be here. I want to be here, and that's the
flag of the place I've chosen to be because I
like being here. What I don't understand this Unless there's
something else going on here, I don't know. Maybe the
rest of this piece will shed some light. Here's a
great idea. How about making an escape to a really
special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a
quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is
your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe
you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get family
and friends together for a big old reunion, Cabins of
Ashville has the ideal spot for you where you can
reconnect with your loved ones and the things that truly matter.
Nestled within the breath taking fourteen thousand acres of the

Asheville and the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
It's the perfect balance of seclusion and proximity to all
the local attractions, with hot tubs, fireplaces, air conditioning, smart TVs,
Wi Fi grills, outdoor tables and your own private covered porch.
Choose from thirteen cabins, six cottages, two villas and a
great lodge with eleven king sized bedrooms. Cabins of Ashville
has the ideal spot for you for any occasion and
they have pet friendly accommodations. Call or text eight two
eight three six seven seventy sixty eight or check out
all there is to offer at Cabins offashville dot com
and make memories that'll last a lifetime. Daily Mail reporting
on this just nefarious plot to raise hundreds and hundreds
of flags on the streets of Britain in an obvious
sign of destabilization by hoisting the flag under which all
people live. Is just this destabilizing, divisive act, you see
the uh the leader of the Tower Hamlets Municipality or
council looked for Rachmann of the Pro Palestine Aspire party.
He allowed the Palestinian flags and the Pakistani flags to
fly for months because he didn't want to quote destabilize
community cohesion. I would note that mister Rachmann had previously
been found guilty of electoral fraud. He did finally take
all of the Palestinian flags down after Jewish locals complained
that they were intimidating and divisive. But when the cleaners
began to remove the English flags, they found themselves on
the receiving end of abuse from passers by. The flags
could be seen dumped in a pile in the back
of a refuse loriri being driven by the cleaners. Some
had to abort their operation and said they'd try again
in the early hours the next day in the hopes
that the abuse would be more muted, although I did
get a video saw a video of apparently Brits who
are utilizing this new found focus on cleanliness. Yes, I
mean with things that have the Saint George Cross, which is,
you know, the white flag with the red cross right
through the middle, the te you know from top to bottom,
and then all the way from left to right that flag,
and as well as the Union jack. So people are
painting stuff that they want the city to throw away,
but the city hasn't gotten around to throwing away, like couches,
so they're painting their couches that are out on the
curb to be picked up, and the government's not picking
them up and so now they're painting them with the
Saint George white and red cross, and then the city
comes and takes them away. It's actually pretty brilliant. It's
a good way to get rid of your old televisions too.
Box them up or stick them in the box of
the new TV and leave them on the porch and
somebody will come and steal it for you anyway. The
flag wars began when the Birmingham City Council removed flags
in a suburb overclaims that the flags were dangerous. There's
a small group calling themselves the Weoly Warriors I don't
or weo l e y Woly Warriors, describing themselves as
a group of proud Englishmen. Well there you go. There's
the problem right there. Proud Englishman. That's not allowed. You're
not allowed to be a proud english person. Sorry. So
they have a common goal to show Birmingham and the
rest of the country of how proud we are of
our history, freedoms and achievements. There's a window cleaner named
Matt Glover from Northfield, Birmingham, as identified as one of
the Wooly group and he said the flags pose no
risk to public safety, and he vowed to continue playing
cat and mouse with the council. The father of four
said he and others in the group observe proper safety
procedures here and make sure that the latters are used
by trained individuals. This is so British. The father of
four went on to say that you know they're taking
all necessary precautions and such. The Warriors believed to be
based out of the Wooly Castle pub in the area,
and they claim to have hoisted around fifteen hundred flags
around Birmingham in recent weeks. The City Council of Birmingham
said that staff has been instructed to remove all attachments
from lampposts ahead of an upgrade to energy efficient led
street lighting seas so we were already doing this upgrade
on the lamp posts and so because we're there, we
got to take them down so we can get to
the bulbs or something, and so that's the reason we're
taking them down. But opponents claimed the removal of the
flags only began in earnest when gb and England flags
were posted, while Palestine and Pakistani sorry Pakistani national flags
flew untouched in the city for months. One guy went
and painted a Saint George's cross on a white mini roundabout,
you know, like a little concrete circle in the middle
of an intersection for the roundabouts, and he painted the
flag there. Forty year old Ian Anderson said locals have
been pushed into taking a stance. He said, quote, I
certainly don't agree with vandalizing roads or roundabouts. After all,
flags are just flags and can be taken down. However,
there is a real sense that people who are proud
to be British are being made to feel ashamed of
their patriotism. Yes, there is a reason why people feel
that way. It's because that is the messaging that the
quote unquote elites, or as I call them, the foe laites,
that is what they have been promoting. That is what
Marxists and internationalists have been promoting, that you should be
ashamed of being a British person, of being an englishman
or women. And it got me thinking that there is
in fact a word for this kind of a scenario
where a foreign nations flag is flown over your city
and your own nation's flag is taken down. There's a
word for that. That word is conquered. You are conquered.
I don't know how much time you have left. But
that's what that indicates. When some other nation or people
fly their flag over your buildings on your streets and
you can't fly your flag there, that means you don't
control it, you don't own it. It's not your place
anymore because that's their flag. That's what that means. It's
I think that's been pretty universally understood for a very
long time. I mean, look what happened when we conquered
the Moon right after the Great Moon Wars of nineteen
sixty four, and we conquered the Moon, what did we do?
We stuck a flag in its face. That's what you
do when you conquer a planet or a moon, That's
what you do. And the Brits have a sense that
this is happening, yes, and it actually, it actually is
much worse than this. All right. You hear me talk
a lot about incentives, right, Well, let's talk about incentive trips,
the kind that companies offer employees to fire them up
and reward their teams. If you own a business or
you work somewhere that offers these incentive trips, first off,
good for you, but also there is a custom app
that's a game changer for these trips. It's called Incentive Tripkit.
Private group messaging, shared photos, your itinerary, travel details all
built into a single, easy to use app. There's even
a traveler locator, so Carl from Accounting doesn't get left behind.
The best part about Incentive trip Kit it's totally private,
no email captures, no sign ups, no cringe ads. It's simple,
clean and secure. And when the trip is over, Incentive
trip Kit turns those high highlights into a professional storytelling video.
So think about it. When you launched next year's incentive
trip campaign, that video becomes your greatest motivator. Talk about
a return on investment. Right, You got to check out
incentive trip Kit for your business. Visit incentive tripkit dot
com because great trips deserve even better returns. Over at
the Federalist, John Daniel Davidson writes about what's going on
in Britain and I have been watching a lot of interviews.
I've been reading a lot of pieces about this over
the last probably about last month or so. It is
apparently breaking through. It's gotten so bad in Britain that
it's breaking through. People are no longer talked a little
bit about this. The other day, the preference cascade. You
have a permission structure basically that now allows people to
be talking about this stuff. Whereas before it was repressed.
Media wouldn't touch at government officials denied, it wouldn't talk
about any of these problems. But now enough people have
been talking and the issues have been bubbling, and when
it starts breaking through, people start realizing, oh, I'm not
the only one that thinks like this, I'm not the
only one that identifies these problems and are seeing these problems.
There's actually a lot of us. And then the damn breaks.
That's the preference cascade. It then just oh, just I
know that probably sounded like a cat purr, but it's
like a boom boom, boom boom. It's like a bunch
of dominoes, so Davidson says. By now, you've seen the
video circulating on social media of a defiant and terrified
young Scottish girl wielding a knife and a hatchet to
fend off the advances of a migrant man who allegedly
had been harassing her and her younger sister. Have you
seen these videos or the video. She's like twelve, and
she and her sister and her friend are terrified and
telling these telling this guy who is recording and is
antagonizing them, goating them, show me the knife, Show me
the knife, he keeps saying, and she's like freaking out,
get away from us, don't touch us, which, by the way,
in a statement from one of the girl's mothers, said
that this man was then assisted by his apparently his sister,
who knocked down one of the twelve year olds or fourteen.
There was one fourteen year old, knocked her to the
ground and beat her, sending her to the hospital with
a concussion. Hence the girl with the knives in order
to stop the attack. You can hear the fear and
anger in their voices, a mix of desperation and rage
and confusion. You can also hear the man's voice taunting them.
At one point, one of the girls cries out, don't
touch my little sister, she's only twelve. You might have
also heard how the story ended. The police arrested the
girl for possession of a bladed weapon. They did not
detain nor investigate the migrant man. In fact, yesterday local
authorities sent out a statement saying do not engage in
the spreading of misinformation about this now they didn't tell
anybody what the misinformation was, but they just put out
a stern warning to everybody, don't you be spreading misinformation.
The entire sordid history of Britain's civic collapse, stretching back
decades to the Ratherham rape gang scandal and forward to today,
in some ways contained in the striking image of this
wisp of a girl with a knife and a hatchet
in hand, facing down a predator. She's clearly desperate, abandoned
by the adults who were supposed to protect her, sold
out by the political leaders who were supposed to maintain
decohesion and safety of her city. She is reduced at
last to brandishing crude weapons to defend herself from foreign
men brought her native land against her will. And by
the way, this town where she is located, I think
it's called Dubbin or Debin, This has been one of
the places on the maps of where all the rape
gang activity has been occurring. So she knows, her family knows,
the people in that town, they know what's going on.
It's a scene that encapsulates the total loss of legitimacy
of the British government and a portent of what comes
next civil war and it's not hyperbole. Britain right now
shows all the signs of descending, descending into sustained civil
conflict and then eventually open civil war. The ruling elites
have broken the social compact by importing mass numbers of
foreigners who are hostile to the native population. The government
has repeatedly and consistently signaled to the ethnic white majority
that there is indeed a two tiered system of justice
and that they are on the lower tier. Political leaders
in public officials have criminalized dissent from their agenda and
sent police to harass and arrest people in their homes
for criticizing the government. They are arresting people in Britain
for Facebook posts. Worst and most stomach turning of all,
the British ruling class has failed to adequately acknowledge or
take appropriate action in response to the Pakistani rape gang scandal,
which is ongoing. The scandal continues. It's a festering wound
in the British body politic. They have the Rape Gang Inquiry.
It released a statement saying they'd identified eighty five local
areas or authorities patterns of targeted exploitation by predominantly Pakistani males,
combined with gross negligence from public bodies the maps that
I just mentioned see. The ruling class of British society
has let this happen because the migrant gangs target working
class girls, whom the establishment deletes or fox leites see
as apparently expendable. David Betts, Professor of War in the
Modern World at King's College, London. He's not some kook,
he says. It's not a question of if civil war
breaks out in Britain. But when it was long thought
that the conditions for civil war, which are loss of
social cohesion, high levels of social distrust, growing intertribal conflict,
and dwindling economic prospects, it was long thought that these
conditions simply did not exist in the West, or at
least not sufficiently to bring about widespread civil conflict. But
that is no longer the case, and nowhere is it
more apparent than Britain, where the political establishment, both the
Labor Party and the Tory Party, have broken the social
compact by imposing mass immigration on a native population that
does not want it. In England, a resistance to the
this alliance is taking shape in the form of the
Battle over its own national symbols, and that presage is
a larger conflict to come. Operation Raise the Colors, as
it's called, is a campaign to plant the distinctive red
and white Saint George cross flag and the Union jack
in as many public places as possible. It is an
act of national solidarity and patriotism directed unmistakably at a
hostile government that's obviously trying to erase the ethnic English majority. Right,
these are internationalists that are in control in Britain and
in many Western nations. All right, if you're listening to
this show, you know I try to keep up with
all sorts of current events, and I know you do too,
And you've probably heard me say get your news from
multiple sources. Why Well, because it's how you detect media bias,
which is why I've been so impressed with ground News.
It's an app and it's a website, and it combines
news from around the world in one place so you
can compare coverage and verify information. You can check it
out at check dot ground dot news slash pete. I
put the link in the podcast description too. I started
using ground News a few months ago, and more recently
chose to work with them as an affiliate because it
lets me see clearly how stories get covered and by whom.

Your subscription then not only helps my podcast, but it
also supports Ground News as they make the media landscape
more transparent. From the text line, Anonymous says, it's not
just Britain, it's Ireland, France, Spain and Germany. Hm. Well,
so it's based off of this refugee definition in the
treaty after World War II and such. But like, but
that treaty should not be that should not be used
for suicide, for national suicide, which is what it's being
used for. And by the way, our adversaries Russia, China, Iran,
they're destabilizing other countries knowing that then those populations will
go to the Western countries and not be turned away.
And if you are not willing to address the root
cause of this, which is that refugee law, then then
I guess you deserve to die as a nation and
it's not going to be It's not going to be peaceful.
I don't know how the British citizenry will fight in
any civil war when they have been disarmed. That would
require a military coup, and that's a tough ask. Most
soldiers and cops would shoot their own mother if ordered to,
if they can keep their pensions and benefits. I disagree
with that. Then peoples are in quite a situation. That's
from Joseph Dave says. Why do you think the faux
laites are funneling in these immigrants? It can't just be kindness,
perhaps to lower wages. I just don't get it. Help
me understand. They are driven by an internationalist view that
the nation state is antiquated. It's simple economic zones and
you don't want people unified under this national banner. And
again they're hamstrung by the laws that they've adopted. But
yet cheap labor is also part of it. It also
doesn't affect them personally, and they have a Western conceit,
which is that people in other cultures and countries think
like they do, and that's not true. Michael Sayeed, he's
a writer at the London Times interest. He's got an
interesting theory on all of this. And what actually gave
rise to the English Empire was when they banned and
this was, you know, fifteen hundred years ago. They banned
cousin marriage because it broke people of this tribal mindset
because now you had to move out of your local tribe,
your clan, your kin, your family in order to find
a mate, and in doing so it gave people a
greater unifying cohesion, which was then that we are all
under this same banner of this nation essentially, and you
have other parts of the world where that does not exist. Right.
The Middle East is a very good example of it,
and it's why the nation building project failed because they
are Clanish, they are tribalists. They look at their own
clan as their own, and they also still marry their
cousins and that creates an insular clique. And so anything
that I can do to get over one on my
my opposing family or clan for the benefit of my tribe,
my clan, my family, well then I should do it.
And that, of course then destroys any kind of semblance
of the rule of law, because it doesn't matter if
you're just you know, I'm going to rule against you
because you're in a different clan. Davidson at the Federalist
continues well. He concludes by saying the political establishment has
predictably responded to the Raise the Color, Raise the Colors
campaign by branding the displays as racist, tearing the flags down,
throwing the book at anybody caught in the act. This
state of affairs will not go on forever. There will
come a flashpoint, and in America people need to be
prepared to see the situation in Britain clearly as it
unfolds and understand it for what it really is, a
justified revolution of the people against a tyrannical government. That's
what's occurring. I completely agree that's what's occurring in Britain
right now. And over at the Spectator, Douglas Murray, he
takes up this, takes up this topic as well. He says,
the age defining question is what are you actually allowed
to do or say if you don't like the direction
that the country is going Yet, if you join a
rally against the rape of young British girls, you'll be
marked as a racist. If you go to a demonstration
against putting up illegal migrants and expensive hotels. You'll be
branded far right. If you put up a flag, you'll
be smeared by the most distant possible association with somebody
you've never met who might have put up the same
flag for the quote unquote wrong reasons. Perhaps it's just
about possible that the public could be kept down forever,
our national story trashed and our flags said to be toxic.
The problem is trying to maintain that stance while at
the same time encouraging everybody else to have a whale
of a time with their own emblems and traditions, even
traditions where laws are broken. All right, that'll do it
for this episode. Thank you so much much for listening.
