It's great to hear from someone who has rejected the "smart" phone electronic collar too. I feel less alone. Those small screens everyone spends so much of their time staring into just annoy me.

And I've never owned a television. Hense my 'wake up' to the scamdemic was identical to Prof Hughes experience. This is madness I thought. I'm living in a mad world. I want no part of it.

Took me ages to get through this videoed talk (but worth it). Videos on Substack max out my Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5800 @ 3.20GHz processor (running on an updated Linux OS) and I have to shut down the site and wait a few minutes before it can stream it without it clamming up again after another 10 to 20 minutes. Only on video streams through Substack. All other platforms - no problem. Just saying.

Regarding marketing, an area I'm familiar with, just how much publicity would Prof. Hughes want? It can come at a cost these days where speaking truth to power rarely goes unpunished.

I believe leaflets, books, posters - anything physical - will become an increasing form of subversive communication going forward - for the simple reason that like the truth, it just sits there, quietly demanding your attention with the right headline, and much more difficult to censor, suppress or subvert than anything in the digital realm.

There was a saying, in the 70's I think, that "the revolution won't be televised". Bringing that insight into the 21st century I think it could be said that the changes we need won't happen online.

Excellent podcast . I watched the live streams at the beginning of 2022 of the freedom convoy. It was such an inspiration to the world . The behaviour of Trudeau and their media was so disgusting. The only thing I didn't agree with was the hourly hooting ,they should have just done it once a day at 6pm . Having worked nights for years ,I thought it would have been excruciating for night workers even with earplugs to get any sleep.

Imho, the trail of investment into the transhumance, the money- billions, possible trillions will get one to Switzerland and Israel with competitors being acquired along this consolidation of tech.

The investment money is coming from opaque sources, ie foundations, clandestine government entities off balance sheet. And of course the corporate WEF sponsors.

This will hasten your research for what you are working on. I’m nearly sure you may be doing exactly that. By attraction your efforts will hasten by collaboration.

Luv it, I’m a partner by association, thanks!

Not many. A few obvious names would be Catherine Austin Fitts, Whitney Webb, Iain Davis, Richard D. Hall, Andrew Johnson, Judy Wood, Kees van der Pijl, Simon Elmer, CJ Hopkins, Vera Sharav, Uwe Alschner, Doug Valentine, Dan Broudy, Lissa Johnson, David Nixon, Matt Shelton, Antonietta Gatti, Patrick Wood, James Corbett, the Ickes, James Delingpole, Alex Kriel, Miri AF, Bob Moran, OffGuardian, UK Column, Bruce Scott, Maryann Gebauer, Amazing Polly, Ryan Cristian, Patrick Henningsen, Daniele Ganser, Elze van Hamelen.

There will be others who I did not think of off the top of my head.

This list doesn't mean that I necessarily agree with everything that each has to say, simply that these commentators all strike me as authentic seekers after truth. None of them belong in Camp 2.

Yes, quantify, sort, sift, and gems appear.

To me it is amazing how many understand but yet not near enough to make significant change, yet (?) as time is nigh.

Clarification needed: Really understand, camp 3. The noise I see is cling on for livelihood truthers. No original thoughts. Personally I form many. For example our digital twin is of value, high value as this unfolds. Possibly a futures market being secretly traded! With thought and fully understanding our personal data’s value well. Hmmm, yeah. Algorithms target humans to come to open houses for sale.

I got two competing offer with in 24 hours. I drove mid way through and the street was lined with cars. Just an example of marketing. But our real value is, well our intelligence, but also our ability’s of perspective unfettered by “noise”. Focus like a game of chess, if this then that only exponential. And that is without countermoves. Yeah, life is really fun when out and about. My lenses sees so much, hehe. My wife says you think to much in which I say think more, you’ll see more…

I played a lot of chess in my youth...

The lesson it taught me above all is that the best means of defence is attack.

Expand full comment

Always start with potential checkmate in 5 moves. Yes to playing chess at lunch in jr high. Id have brush some rust off, but keep pressing with the truth where it brings us.

Nothing imo is un fathomable, nothing period. I spend an inordinate amount of time on my back 30 acres with natural observations! It brings clarity to survival.

Best tip if a predator is present. Don’t move. Obvious but not really. I have observed very intelligent mammal behavior. Disappearing. We make body sound and give out frequencies that alert or not everything in our immediate surroundings. I have identified intent as a thought, my thought only, as an attribute to doing harm or not. Interesting results.

Ps I hate crowds, all the signals are messed up.

Just sharing and talking. Time for a bike ride, to process your thoughts to another level. Thanks again.

You might be putting your neck on the line more, were you to list well known people in Camp 2. Even if someone is apparently considered to be in Camp 3, there is no knowing when they might become compromised in some way. And someone who appears to be in Camp 2 might simply be being cautious.

It’s a complex issue as discussed by Hrvoje M. (Geopolitics and Empire) and Terry Wolfe in a recent podcast.

Your comment about turning this whole thing into a comedy a la John Cleese had me in stitches. Imagine a Fawlty Towers 2.0 covid style: masks on/off/hole in the middle, social distancing, grilled cockroaches, nano-soup, inoculative entrees, spiked beef en plat de resistance. Katie Hopkins as Sybil, David as Cleese and you as waiter. Also, you have a great smile!

Dear David,

I’m sorry to learn about your injury, which you mention in your written description of the interview. Despite the pain you were experiencing — unpleasant and distracting, no doubt — I thought you did very, very well!

Ah, the Canadian Freedom Convoy! When it was ongoing, I felt deeply moved by the videos and photos that were being posted on line. Hearing you describe the convoy — and state your view of its significance — served to revive for me many of my past emotions: awe, admiration, upliftment, joy, and love for all those fine Canadians who were expressing love for one another.

Although I have read your “Covid-19” book cover-to-cover, it is always a worthwhile experience to hear you talk about some of its salient points. (BTW, I submitted a book review on Amazon.com yesterday, and hopefully it’ll be approved and posted within a few days.) I also find it interesting to hear your interlocutors express their own responses to the book — which, unsurprisingly, are consistently positive.

In this interview, I very much enjoyed learning something new about your life. The anecdote about your visit to a nearby hardware store in 2020 was very moving (and, of course, I related to it). The experience compelled you to undertake the research and writing project that resulted in your “Covid-19’ book. Wonderful! We, your readers, are the grateful beneficiaries of that decision. Someday, I think one of the Lincolnshire historical societies ought to mount a commemorative plaque at the entrance to that store!

Near the end of the interview, you were asked, “How does one defend against all these attacks?” Your “piece of advice” (as you put it) — involving God and prayer — was splendid.

Another defense, of course, consists of engaging in humor — even if, sometimes, it must be dark humor and may inspire us to weep even as we chuckle. Your discussion of technology in this interview — and people’s addiction to their smartphones — called to mind a piece of my own writing about tech gadgets, for a Facebook post in 2012. You might enjoy it, so I’m reproducing it below. Best wishes, P.A.

12/2/12 PA’s Facebook post:

NOT HIGH TECH, BUT IT WORKS FOR ME! Thanks to my high-tech-happy Facebook friends and their fondness for posting links to descriptions of their favorite gadgets, I’ve been educated on the relative benefits of the iThis compared to the iThat, and I have learned quite a lot about everything from PDAs and smartphones to PMPs and tablets (of which I own none). Even more enjoyable than the information itself is friends’ descriptions of their heart-palpitating excitement over their gadgets. One memorable status update, posted from a Best Buy, reported “salivating” over the new Something-Or-Other. I love it all!

Now it’s my turn.

Here is a link to a description of my At-A-Glance engagement book for 2013. It’s the latest version! (I’ve also got the 2012 version, and stored away in a cabinet are versions for 2011, 2010, 2009, etc.).

This life-organizing tool is great! And what a lot of time it saves me in everyday life. There’s no standing on the sidewalk, looking up some address or other on line . . . or wandering around, trying to find a spot where my engagement book can “get reception.” (How do I manage this? Why, before going out, I’ve written down, in the engagement book, the address where I’m headed!). The engagement book has no battery, either. So I never have to worry that the charge may be about to run out, rendering the apparatus useless (a fear that, from what I’ve seen, apparently constitutes one of the primary causes of dysthymia, hypertension and anxiety in the postmodern world).

The engagement book keeps my eyesight sharp too. When I’m walking up subway stairs, to the exit, there’s never a need to pause and text my friends, asking them on which corner of the intersection I’ll find them. Instead, I simply exit onto the sidewalk, look around, SEE them and walk over to greet them on whichever corner they’ve chosen! (Of course, pausing on subway stairs in the manner described, to send a text message, is properly done when one is among the first people to get off the train. That way, a maximum number of fellow passengers will be delayed in climbing the stairs, as they struggle to squeeze past the guy who’s punching a message into his gadget. When the text-sending individual’s body is positioned correctly, no one can get by at all, especially when there are people descending the stairs at that moment too.)

Another benefit of the engagement book is eliminating delays in getting to eat. Here in New York, when one is out and about and becomes hungry, it’s customary to stand on the sidewalk, reading the Yelp reviews of every dining establishment within a 10 block radius. This can take 10 or 20 minutes — maybe even longer — if the gadget-holder feels a need to experience a high degree of reassurance that he’s making a sound decision. I use a far more sophisticated apparatus: my body and, especially, its brain. By strolling along for a block or two — unless I’m in an extremely ritzy neighborhood — I typically can find SOME establishment that will be suitable. But will the food be any good? Maybe, maybe not. But I like having an adventure. Besides — who knows? — Establishment X may be having a bad night, so its ecstatic review by Margo of Murray Hill may be inaccurate. As for Establishment Y, well, its chef may have been fired after not only Bob of Brooklyn — but Yolanda of Yonkers and Mark of Midtown too — all declared that the food was terrible. The new chef may be a real “find”!

Best of all . . . . get this: I’ve been using engagement books since I was in college and I have NEVER lost a single one! To be sure, I’ve temporarily misplaced my engagement books a few times. But — unlike a high-tech gadget — the humdrum engagement book is of absolutely no value to anyone but the owner. I return to where I left mine . . . and THERE IT IS!

To be sure, my engagement book provides me with no entertainment (aside from, perhaps, stimulating reminiscences about past appointments that were enjoyable, or, prodding me into fantasizing about an upcoming trip). For example, it has no capability for the accessing of online movies. So if all of a sudden I get a hankering, say, to watch “Star Wars” during my annual review with my supervisor at work, I must set aside the urge. (But I don’t mind. On a small screen, fer cryin’ out loud, R2-D2 looks like a Cuisinart!) In addition, if, in casual conversation, I learn about some “must see” YouTube posting, I am forced to practice patience. But, believe it or not, I am fully capable of calmly waiting till I get home — and am sitting in front of my beautiful hi-def computer screen — to watch the teaser for the much-anticipated screen adaptation of “Naughty Nazi Nurses.”

For 2013, I highly recommend At-A-Glance engagement book no. G545-00!

Thank you, Peter!

I love the humorous idea of a commemorative plaque one day being mounted at the entrance to a hardware store in a small town in Lincolnshire: "It was here, on July 24, 2020, that David Hughes, viscerally repelled by face masks, decided to write "Covid-19," Psychological Operations, and the War for Technocracy"!

I also love the many benefits of the engagement book over smart devices. Plus, it's much cheaper and doesn't involve outsourcing all of your thinking!

Thank you for leaving an Amazon review!

Activus channel on Bitchute or Old-Bitchute, 5G and E<F Dangers has a lot of good coverage and she is on one of those. THIS is the biggest topic they want to stop discussion of outside of injuries from the intervention.

Additionally Dr. Robert Young agrees with her. If you want to see a picture of the covid virus he said, and then held up a picture of 5g antenna. He has his own website under his name and wrote all the books on health, Phour Salts. Many of his videos on Rumble, etc. I have personal knowledge of how this is sickening people and they mistake it for covid or something else. They rolled out all the installations during initial lockdowns and are still doing it. I have a professional meter and everyone should have one. Flip phones still radiate massively unfortunately but you can hardwire for regular use. Massachusetts For Safe Technology is helpful. I can send you info on simple connections you need. Your router is massively radiating. New cars, especially electrical vehicles are off the charts. Anything blue tooth or wifi. I have measured smart watches and it is insane people are wearing them for their health.

Other than subscribing to her Patreon which I plan to do, I believe there has to be places where the videos are. If I find them I will let you know. There is one on Odysee but that was years back. Still worth watching.

Phones for sale are more portable and convenient for everyday use, making it ideal for quick communication, social media browsing, and basic productivity tasks. A laptop, on the other hand, has a larger display, more powerful hardware, and a physical keyboard, making it better suited for more demanding tasks like video editing, programming, and gaming.

If you need to do a lot of writing or need to have a larger screen for presentations, a laptop would be the better choice. If you’re always on the go and need to have your device with you at all times, a smartphone would be the better choice.
