Again, it is the 9 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:57.240 fact Hunter at mail, notgmail dot com. Busy week for us, 10 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.280 So if I don't get back to you right a way, 11 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:03.799 please bear with I will get back to you. There 12 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.359 won't be any midweek rabbit Hole podcast, but I certainly 13 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.400 intend to do that next week. We're continuing our Exposing 14 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.480 the Matrix series and today we're on layer ten and 15 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:20.000 that is the psychological matrix, and it's how fear and distraction, 16 00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.120 which that cell phone plays such a large part of. Right, 17 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:27.239 it's become quite a controlling mechanism. That three inch by 18 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:33.719 five inch by you know, half inch piece of computer plastic, 19 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.200 whatever you want to call it, has really become an 20 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.959 effective prison of the mind, if you will, right, and 21 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.879 it's not built with steel bars. It's built inside our mind, 22 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.719 and those who are in power can shape what we fear, 23 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.680 what controls and occupies our attention. They're good at that right, 24 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.439 that plays such a big part in the left right 25 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.439 narrative and determine who we blame. It's those darn libs, 26 00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.599 you know, it's maga, it's this, it's that. So with 27 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:14.560 psychological manipulation, physical force becomes almost unnecessary. We censor ourselves, right, 28 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.759 We're afraid to speak truth because what a what people 29 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.439 might think of us, or b we might lose our 30 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:25.520 Facebook account. We now police our neighbors thanks to COVID. 31 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:32.360 We've abandoned our rights, which you know, several decades ago 32 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.280 even people were willing to go out and risk their 33 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.080 freedom for. And now we even you know, this whole 34 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.039 series exposing the Matrix talks about how we contribute to 35 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.759 our own demise all the while we believe we are 36 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:53.280 acting freely. But I'm not sure we're as free as 37 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:55.919 you think we may be. And by the way, we're 38 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.759 going to close. You can't talk about the psychological matrix 39 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.199 with out talking about Edward Burnet, So we're going to 40 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.039 close with that. But again, this is the psychological matrix. 41 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:11.000 This is a manufactured environment in which human behavior is 42 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:17.039 guided through fear, distraction, repetition, and of course division. So 43 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.759 the objective is not merely to persuade people about one issue. 44 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.960 It's about shaping the boundaries of acceptable thought. TV networks, 45 00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:32.560 social media corporations, the CIA, masad MI, five universities, foundations, 46 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:39.159 advertising firms, brenees, entertainment studios. Of course, they're all part 47 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.479 of the matrix. And with Blackrock and Vanguard, while many 48 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:48.159 of these corporations may look like competitors, they're all owned 49 00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:52.240 by the same shareholders and the government funded nonprofits which 50 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.120 play such a huge part in establishing what the public sees, 51 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:02.199 including the textbooks and know, the medical colleges and even 52 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:07.560 to a very large extent, the seminaries. So again, through 53 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:12.479 the decades, the names change, but the machinery stays the same, 54 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.000 and it stems from the Council on Foreign Relations, the 55 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.800 Builderberg Meetings, the Trilateral Commission, World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation, 56 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:29.319 the Ford Foundation, the Rand Corporation, Tavistock, on and on, 57 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.600 all of these intelligence connected organizations that operate behind the 58 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.680 respectable language of research public safety. Again, what we saw 59 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.800 in twenty twenty philanthropy, which is really a cover for 60 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:48.680 controlling the masses and what they call social progress. Now 61 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:55.240 you have corporations such as Google, Meta, Microsoft, Disney, and Amazon, 62 00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.000 and of course the major news conglomerates. They possess unp 63 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:05.959 recidented power that organize information. They amplify emotion, right, they 64 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.360 know how you're going to react when they put this 65 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.519 information out there, and of course they will suppress anything 66 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.680 that challenges the narrative, and they will keep millions of 67 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.959 people staring in the same direction. And as our email 68 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.040 are mentioned the other day, a lot of these things 69 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:31.519 are indeed distractions and fear. Fear keeps the population obedient. Right, 70 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.759 if we're on a spinning ball hurtling through a never 71 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.759 ending space, we could be hit by an asteroid at 72 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:42.720 any moment. You know, Iran has been building nukes. They've 73 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:45.680 been two weeks away from nukes since nineteen ninety four. 74 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.800 That movie The Day After Tomorrow that came out in 75 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.839 the early eighties was one of the most watched television 76 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.800 shows in history. I remember the next day, I was 77 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.279 probably in fifth grade, maybe sick. Great, everybody walking in 78 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:05.279 school the next day, just you know, with their eyes 79 00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:09.600 open and just looking for the nuclear fallout shelters to 80 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.759 make sure we know where to go. It was fear 81 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:17.639 mongering and distraction keeps us occupied and away from the truth, 82 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.920 and division keeps it from identifying the people and the 83 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:27.199 institutions that are directing the system. Every crisis produces another 84 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:32.480 demand for control. Every manufactured controversy turns neighbor against neighbor, 85 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:39.319 every endless stream of entertainment, it's consuming time that should 86 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.480 be spent praying in the Bible, raising your family, you know, 87 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.959 being out back, having to catch with your son, getting 88 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:53.639 to know your neighbor, and confronting corruption. But that's I've 89 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.680 made that point. We've become and we I'm just as 90 00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.319 guilty as everybody else. We become so comfortable that we're 91 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:05.639 afraid to exchange that comfort for discomfort, right getting out 92 00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:09.000 there and speaking in public and being called names. You 93 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.000 should see the emails I get every week, folks. This 94 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.600 layer is more than just propaganda though. It's about the 95 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.759 deliberate exploitation of the human mind. We're going to examine 96 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:23.439 how trauma right mind based fear trauma like nine to eleven, 97 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.160 like Waco. Everybody watching Waco burning on April nineteenth, nineteen 98 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:33.000 ninety three. Repetition which listen. I know I used to 99 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:37.240 be that guy love popular music, But when you continue 100 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.959 to play that song, did you ever notice that if 101 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.480 you watch a TV show or a movie, it's not 102 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:45.720 like you enjoy it the same all the time, but 103 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.360 music like I listened to led Zeppelin for probably forty years, 104 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.360 and it wasn't until within the last couple of years 105 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:58.920 I understood what was truly behind it, right, and the 106 00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:04.839 repetition of it and the chanting. It's very much part 107 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:11.199 of this control all of it. The identity politics are veialance, 108 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:14.839 which flock cameras are the big story right now. Social 109 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:19.560 conditioning is used to shape our behavior. The psychological matrix 110 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.519 doesn't require everyone to believe the same lie. That's the 111 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.319 one thing that you need to know. It only requires 112 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:33.559 that people remain afraid, distracted, divided, and too exhausted to 113 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.840 search for the truth. And speaking of exhausted, too exhausted, 114 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:39.679 I should say, I'd encourage you to go to my 115 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:44.320 substack from today Monday, July twenty seventh, and go look 116 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.600 at that substack I wrote today, And I think maybe 117 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:53.600 that does contribute to much of our exhaustion that we 118 00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:58.840 feel today. So again, you know, this world seeks conformity. 119 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.559 Nobody wants to be that guy to walk alone that 120 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:07.080 they wanted conformity through pressure and deception, and our faith 121 00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.720 renews the mind through the truth. Layer ten is where 122 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.799 we examine the battlefield between the two. We're going to 123 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:18.320 start with fear conditioning, and it begins by repeatedly pairing 124 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.720 an image, word, group, or an event with danger until 125 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:27.159 the emotional reaction becomes automatic. The person no longer examines 126 00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:31.759 the evidence because the nervous system has been trained to respond. First, 127 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.480 governments have understood this for generations. The Creole Committee that 128 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:43.679 cr EEL they use coordinated messaging during World War One 129 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:49.159 to transform public reluctance into support for war. After nine 130 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.480 to eleven, the Department of Homeland Security, they had the 131 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.720 old color coded terror alerts that kept Americans in a 132 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:02.720 constant state of anticipation, right even when the warnings offered 133 00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:07.159 little practical information. And then of course the phrase if 134 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.759 you see something, say something. There was psychological layers to 135 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.960 that as well. That was training people to view ordinary 136 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:21.519 surroundings and sometimes one another through suspicion. Right, you had 137 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:26.720 the Karens and a big apologies to all the folks 138 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:28.679 named Karen had to suffer through all that. But you 139 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.360 get what I'm saying. Right twenty twenty, we're walking through 140 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.440 Walmart and you're getting screamed at for not wearing your mask. 141 00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:39.159 And what's amazing to me is, if you go back 142 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.639 to the sixties and seventies, the trust the liberals had 143 00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:46.159 against the government was next level, and they had flipped 144 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.679 over the last twenty years to where they were the 145 00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:54.600 most obedient group of people the progressives during COVID Right. 146 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.919 So the same method appeared during COVID right. Death counters 147 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:05.279 remained on TV screens every day and all the terminology 148 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:12.519 that was used, stay home, save lives, while businesses, schools, churches, 149 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:20.000 and families were divided into categories of essential and non essential. 150 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.159 And you know, to this very day, I still get 151 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:30.080 emails from people about how devastated their lives are still 152 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:36.240 from today, whether it's business were emotional from twenty twenty, 153 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:43.879 and how we didn't stand up to that. And you can't, 154 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:48.120 you know, take security over liberty because you won't have either. 155 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.399 And that's where we are today. You know, all those 156 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:56.879 people involved the CDC the nih everybody had their state 157 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.559 health departments were giving daily briefings, and of course the 158 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.279 pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Maderna. Even you look at 159 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.480 all the nonprofits involved, the ones were familiar with, like 160 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:15.720 the Gates Foundation, etc. But there's one that went under 161 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.440 the radar, and you should check it out, the ad council, right, 162 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:25.120 and those advertisements go out on where we air our 163 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:30.399 radio on shortwave. A lot of those ad councils, they 164 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:38.720 deliver remarkable consistent messaging. The behavioral component wasn't hidden by 165 00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:46.480 any stretch. Governments consulted behavioral science teams to increase compliance. 166 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.840 Fear of illness was kind of combined with fear of 167 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:58.480 social rejection, employment loss, which many of our listeners faced, 168 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:03.000 travel restrictions which Canada our friends in Canada had to 169 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:08.200 deal with and many other Australia, et cetera. And if 170 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:14.559 you didn't follow the narrative, you were labeled publicly as 171 00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:21.240 being irresponsible. So fear conditioning also prepares the population to 172 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:27.799 accept measures it would otherwise reject. The Transportation Security Administration 173 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:33.000 the TSA, they turned invasive searches, body scanners, and warrantless 174 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:38.759 inspection into a part of everyday life. Look at Pallunteer Technologies. 175 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:43.960 They built a powerful data analysis system for defense, intelligence, immigration, 176 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:47.639 and law enforcement. And now they have all these IRIS 177 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:52.519 scan systems face recognitions all over the place. Look at 178 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:58.240 Clearview AI. They assembled an enormous facial recognition database from 179 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:02.559 images gathered across the internet at airports, et cetera. And 180 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:06.799 every time this expanded, it was presented as protection from 181 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:11.600 the latest threat. It's always the Hegelian dialect. The public 182 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.159 is rarely asked whether the emergency measure will disappear when 183 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.080 the emergency ends, and you all know this audience knows 184 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:26.039 it never does. Now this next addition gets some attention, 185 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.799 but I'm not sure it gets enough as it deserves. 186 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.240 And that's the old dopamine addiction. That's the second mechanism 187 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:39.480 within this layer. Technology companies didn't create tools people enjoy 188 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:42.639 using just on that simple fact. What they did was 189 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:50.159 they constructed products around behavioral reinforcement. And I noticed that recently. 190 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.440 The games they create today are so much different than 191 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.000 the games many of you and I played growing up. 192 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:01.039 There was always a finish to the game, or it 193 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.480 was a sports game. Sixty minutes in football, nine innings baseball. 194 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:10.960 If you played you know, basically whatever game like Mario Brothers, 195 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:12.559 it was to get through all the levels and win. 196 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:20.080 But now like these Minecraft games, and there's just it's 197 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.879 it's a constant dopamine hit. There's no real and I'm 198 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.120 sure somebody's going to message me and say, oh no, 199 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.440 there's something else to it. The point is, and this 200 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.480 has to do with your candy crush and just people 201 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:40.840 scrolling social media timelines. These endless scrolls remove a natural 202 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:47.080 stopping point. Notifications create anticipation, right waiting for the next bing. 203 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.840 You know, that next email, that next text message, that 204 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.279 next breaking news. Likes and shares are like getting treats. 205 00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:01.000 My dog just popped her head up. The mended videos 206 00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:04.480 promise that the next clip may be even more satisfying 207 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:08.559 than the last. Now, TikTok's owner Byte Dance, they built 208 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:12.759 an extraordinarily effective recommendation system that learns how long a 209 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:16.279 person pauses, what he replays, and what holds his attention. 210 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.159 Now that's I don't go on there for that simple 211 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:23.840 reason because they're just short thirty second and you know, 212 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:26.039 I don't want to get caught into that constant spin. 213 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:31.840 But it's interesting what they built, and they study the 214 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:35.679 individual using the app, they learn what holds their attention. 215 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:40.559 Snap developed streaks that make young users fear breaking a 216 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:45.000 daily chain. Right, all those games today, seven day streak 217 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.639 gotta keep going. Even Netflix, they introduced auto play so 218 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:54.200 that one episode slides into another before you can make 219 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:58.279 a deliberate decision. And all of this is to distract 220 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.720 you from the important things in your world, and that 221 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:08.119 is physical interactions with other human beings, studying the truth, 222 00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:12.519 studying the word of God, all of those things. These 223 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:18.079 designs emerged from the same behavioral principles that were demonstrated 224 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:26.240 in BF Skinner's experiments with variable rewards. So a predictable 225 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:31.880 reward eventually becomes boring, But think of this, an unpredictable 226 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:37.519 one keeps the person checking. That's why refreshing a feed 227 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:42.440 resembles pulling the lever on a slot machine. And I, hey, ma, 228 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.440 I'm guilty of doing that on X. Right. Maybe the 229 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:50.839 next time I've refreshed that you feed, the big story 230 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.000 will be there and I'm gonna have to jump into 231 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.839 research and get it out to the masses. You know, 232 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:04.640 sometimes there's nothing interesting, there's something funny, shocking, you know, 233 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:12.079 frightening or even personally affirming. But that uncertainty in itself 234 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:17.559 strengthens the habit. Companies such as Apple, x, Ready, YouTube, 235 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.839 and all the major mobile game developers, they compete for 236 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:25.000 minutes of our attention because those minutes can be measured 237 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:32.000 and packaged and sold, so the cost is not limited 238 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:37.039 to wasted time. Constant simulate, or I should say stimulation. 239 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:42.240 It weakens patience, silence. Our concentration is not what it 240 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:46.319 used to be. People cannot stand to sit in silence 241 00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:51.640 and to simply contemplate things. A person who is, you know, 242 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:56.359 accustomed to fifteen second clips, they're going to struggle to 243 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.839 read just one chapter of a book or scripture without 244 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.559 reaching for their phone. That's why in the office, when 245 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.160 I'm getting to work, the phone's not here, and people 246 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.759 think I'm ignoring them. I can't because if I pick 247 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:13.160 it up once, I'm going to be in here much 248 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.839 longer than I need to. So again, a person may 249 00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:21.079 be physically present with their spouse and children, but they're 250 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:25.480 mentally and subconsciously even they're waiting for that next notification. 251 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:31.039 Our mind is kept busy, but it's never settled. Informed, 252 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:36.640 but not wise. The system doesn't have to forbid serious 253 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:42.319 thought if it can make serious thought feel intolerable. And then, 254 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:46.839 of course there's the rage cycles. And I've seen it 255 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:53.559 trickle into the real world, people losing their minds over 256 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:59.359 getting the wrong sauce at McDonald's, a red light. You know, 257 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.519 there's always and angry people. But I think the things 258 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:09.200 they rage out on are so silly that this contributes 259 00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:12.599 to why a lot of this happens, these rage cycles online. 260 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:18.559 What they're doing is they're combining emotional conditioning with a 261 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:24.440 digital reward. You know why, because anger produces clicks, comments, 262 00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:30.519 free posts, longer viewing sessions, and with organizations like X 263 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:34.720 et cetera, you get paid based on the clicks and 264 00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:38.559 the views. That's where the term clickbait comes from. People 265 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:45.599 will post something just moronic or even fake news right 266 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:53.000 just to get those clicks. But you know, a simple 267 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:59.480 calm explanation would be read once, but an accusation can 268 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:04.599 generate thousands of reactions. And news organizations they've done this forever, 269 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:10.720 Fox NN, MSNBC. They know that conflict retains audiences. And 270 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:13.839 you know, up until twenty years ago, like even ESPN 271 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.559 and those type of your morning shows they just gave 272 00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:20.319 you the news and yes, opinion. But then they started 273 00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:22.880 to see that the rage bait worked, so all the 274 00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:28.359 TV shows turned into just arguments online. Two or three guys, 275 00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:30.960 two or three women, and it's what's the subject, and 276 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:32.640 we're going to argue about it. And it gets people 277 00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.079 in a rage, and it gets the clicks, but it's 278 00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.559 not really accomplishing anything. And that's why I'm not a 279 00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:42.759 I'm not a fan of those type of platforms, but 280 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:50.079 platforms that detect activity and distribute material further, so the 281 00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:55.279 result is a self reinforcing cycle. You have inflammatory content 282 00:21:55.359 --> 00:22:00.960 receives attention, Attention triggers promotion, and promotion create it's more anger, 283 00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:08.319 and that anger produces additional content and pr firms political 284 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:15.440 organizations they exploit that through clipped videos, selective quotations, and 285 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.319 the fake grassroots campaigns we see all the time. Cambridge Analytica, 286 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:27.119 they became famous for using personal data to construct psychological 287 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:32.839 profiles for political targeting, but the underlying industry they didn't 288 00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.839 vanish with that company. You had data brokers such as 289 00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:43.599 Axiom and Experience. They continue to assemble detailed customer profiles, 290 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:49.079 while political consulting firms divide the electorate into emotional categories 291 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.599 that can be reached with different messages, and that experience 292 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:57.559 in those guys. You know, if you are a cash 293 00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.359 person and you don't like debt, they'll pun out issue 294 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.880 for that, and that is one of those things that 295 00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:07.200 are going to evolve into your social credit score. It 296 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.319 will be factored in without a doubt. So this cycle 297 00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:18.079 keeps ordinary people fighting horizontally while power continues vertically. The 298 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.240 Republicans and Democrats are encouraged to despise each other, while 299 00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:28.920 major defense contractors, the banks, pharmaceuticals, lobbying firms, the nonprofits, 300 00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:39.680 they all retain their influence under both parties. Your Raytheons, Lockheed, Martin, Northrope, Grumman, JP, Morgan, Blackrock. 301 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:45.200 They do not depend upon Americans reconciling with one another. 302 00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:52.480 Conflict is useful because a furious population watches the spectacle 303 00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:58.839 instead of following the money or you know, following legislation 304 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:07.039 or asking who benefits from the next crisis. Let every 305 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.119 man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, 306 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.079 for the wrath of man work, if not the righteousness 307 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:20.240 of God. The system demands an instant reaction every time 308 00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:24.759 We refuse to be frightened on command, refuse the digital beit, 309 00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:29.880 refuse to hate someone that was selected for us. We 310 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:34.960 break one of the psychological matrix's strongest forms of control. 311 00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:39.480 If you can do that, let's talk about identity politics, 312 00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:45.039 and it reduces human beings to competing categories race, sex, class, religion, 313 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:49.799 political affiliation, and then teaches each category how each of 314 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:54.319 us should resent each other instead of judging people by 315 00:24:54.359 --> 00:25:03.039 their character and conduct. Institutions assign collective guilt and collective victimhood. 316 00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:09.559 Your DEI and the Open Society foundations, the Human Rights 317 00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:14.519 Campaign and all these corporate consultants have helped embed this 318 00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:19.759 framework throughout the workplace, schools, and public life. And what 319 00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:25.880 it does it fractures natural bonds of family, church, community 320 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.720 while making political identity the center of a person's existence. 321 00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:35.039 And then you have something that I think is more 322 00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:40.960 prevalent than ever, and that is depression and isolation. And 323 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.079 I know it affects a lot of people in this 324 00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:46.799 community because you know, we see the world in such 325 00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:52.480 a different way that we lose the zest to talk 326 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.039 about the things that, for lack of a better word, 327 00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.960 than normies want to talk about. You know, it's it's 328 00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:02.920 Monday today, it's lunchtime, and many people are on their 329 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:06.519 lunch break right now talking about whatever baseball game happened yesterday, 330 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:09.640 or the latest movie, what a great ending it was, 331 00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:13.359 or you know, Trump's next move. That's not the way 332 00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:17.599 we see things, and that isolation can make people easier 333 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:23.240 to influence because again, lonely individuals are seeking belonging wherever 334 00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:25.799 it's offered. Now, whatever you think of the whole Q 335 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.839 movement or Q on in, it brought a lot of 336 00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:33.119 people that because they were truthers and they wanted to 337 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:35.720 belong to a group. And again, I think in the 338 00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:37.880 beginning there was a lot of honesty. But here we 339 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:43.319 are almost ten years later, nothing's changed. Some things have 340 00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.160 come to light, but I think a lot of that 341 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.839 is because the hard work of the truth community itself. Now, 342 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:53.880 look we're at in twenty twenty six, remote work, digital relationships. 343 00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.400 How often do we text our family members instead of 344 00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.960 calling them like we used to? Pornography which has ruined 345 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.759 and lives broken families. And I'm here to tell you 346 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:06.519 church attendance. Man, Let me tell you something you know 347 00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:10.400 last week we did in a Layer nine was religion 348 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:13.640 and I tuned in on YouTube to our local church 349 00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:19.279 which is a little over ten minutes away, and they 350 00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:24.960 had a seventy eight year old lady there who gave probably, 351 00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:28.799 I would say, one of the top I've heard a 352 00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:32.160 lot of bad ones, but actually, front to end, one 353 00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:36.000 of the top ten worst sermons I've ever heard in 354 00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:40.839 my life. It was bad, and I forwarded to my 355 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.359 buddy of forty years and he was it's like the 356 00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:46.480 things that are going on in our church today, Well, 357 00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:49.240 it's no wonder the church is declining. People don't want 358 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:53.680 to be a part of that heresy, and the church 359 00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:59.440 attendance keeps people separated, and that has played such a 360 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:04.000 part the loss of our neighborhood and community life, and 361 00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:09.000 it has left so many people surrounded by communication but 362 00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:15.000 starved for fellowship in person, fellowship better help in Pharmaceutical 363 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:19.519 manufacturers such as Eli, Lilly and Johnson and Johnson that 364 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.279 they make so much profit off of that nonsense for 365 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:27.720 treating the consequences, while the conditions that produce this despair 366 00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:35.559 remain largely untouched. Right, you talk to the doctor and 367 00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:38.400 you tell them you know what you're struggling with. That's okay. 368 00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.640 We have a prescription for you, and if that one 369 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:44.640 doesn't work, we have another prescription for you. And if 370 00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.119 you get side effects from that one, don't worry about it. 371 00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:51.440 I have a pill for that side effects. You know, 372 00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:58.640 we're commanded not to forsake assembling together because again, isolation 373 00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:05.759 leaves the mind exposed and the spirit weakened. And this 374 00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:10.880 endless distraction ensures that people never remain still long enough 375 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.839 to recognize what's going on. And you know, most people 376 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.200 are so worked up with the latest celebrity scandal professional 377 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:21.240 sports gambling app. Let me tell you, these gambling apps 378 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:25.359 have become a real problem, and it kills me. Right, 379 00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.640 I grew up watching Pete Rose. He played on the 380 00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:31.839 Phillies for a few years I think eighty to eighty three, right, 381 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:34.319 and he was not allowed in the Hall of Fame 382 00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:38.200 because of gambling. And now you watch a game, you 383 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:42.440 know it's the fifth inning DraftKings. Will Jimmy Johnson get 384 00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.240 a hit? It's hypocrisy. And again, don't like email me saying, well, bro, 385 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:50.039 he bet on the same team. I get all that. 386 00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:54.359 My point is every sport now has put gambling on 387 00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:58.599 such a high pedestal, and they've normalized it right, people 388 00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:01.880 lose bucks a day. That's one hundred and forty bucks 389 00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:04.559 a week. For my truck. That's almost a full tank 390 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:08.200 of gas. I've got a thirty six gallon tank. Oh man, 391 00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:13.240 it's painful to go to the gas station. DraftKings, FanDuel, 392 00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:18.839 porn Hub, Spotify, Hulu, the celebrity press, the influencers. By 393 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:21.119 the way, did you see USC? I think it was. 394 00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:27.079 USC now offers the first major of online influencer. You 395 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:29.880 can go to college, put yourself in debt, you know, 396 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:37.240 fifty one hundred thousand dollars to become a professional influencer. Yep. 397 00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.640 So again they're only they only have to keep the 398 00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.440 mind moving from one appetite to the next. And that's 399 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:49.839 all they need to do. Now, speaking of you, porn 400 00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:53.480 and poor Hub or whatever they're called.
