I did not understand Trump’s release of the JFK files, when there was nothing interesting in them. It seemed anti-climactic. If however we now get visual proof that the entire thing was bullshit, and it helps teach the nation how everything is fake and gay – that would make sense:

Trump revokes security clearances for law firm that hired Robert Mueller, WilmerHale. The lack of vociferous protests attacking Trump for making this personal, and abusing his power as President tell you all of these individuals and firms are guilty of something, and they are afraid if they accuse Trump, he will roll out evidence of whatever it is they have done. If Biden were clean as the fresh driven snow, he would be complaining to anyone who would listen about how improper revoking his security clearance was.

Elon Musk Sells X in $33 Billion Deal to His AI Startup. How many billion, anon? Probably the same investors, but now it does not look like he is the primary owner.

HHS axes more than $300M in gender, DEI-related health grants to California alone. Grants, as in that was your money, and now we are giving it to them. Think you could have gotten any of those grants?

Elon Musk announced he will leave his role in the Trump administration at the end of May after leading a $1 trillion deficit reduction as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). It seems that rather than have “the intelligence apparatus” arrest and depose the [criminal] government in an outright coup, those in power have decided to play a script were the nerdy autistic kid, trying to reduce government waste, will accidentally uncover the crime of the century through his nerdy genius. If Musk will be gone by then, there is a good chance the shock phase where people get arrested and the criminals are removed may happen, or crimes will at least be made known, by then, so he can be the face of it.

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a decisive blow to the left’s relentless lawfare on Friday suspending a lower court’s preliminary injunction that sought to hamstring Elon Musk, the United States DOGE Service, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from carrying out their mission to streamline a bloated and inefficient government.

Federal officials are preparing for agencies to cut between 8 and 50 percent of their employees in the first phase of a Trump administration push to shrink the government, according to an internal White House document obtained by The Washington Post.

CIA Officer Kevin Schipp criticized the CIA on Twitter, and somebody hacked into Twitter, created a clone account, and then got it suspended so he could not access his account. He seems like a dissident, but then you wonder, why doesn’t he focus on the American Stasi. He has joked about it following him, and never needing to look at a map.

President Donald Trump has threatened to gut the world-renowned Smithsonian Institution in an executive order that aims to eliminate the museum network’s “anti-American ideology.”

Ukrainian forces continue to attack Russian energy infrastructure in violation of the US-backed ceasefire, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. That is probably actually MI-6/CIA.

My tax money shouldn’t be paying for it. Let them scrounge for funds like any other museum.

Anyone else remember their sanctimonious press release when they announced they were going to scrap the Enola Gay for “not representing American values”? That was after letting it rot in pieces for decades under their “conservatorship.”

A lady I know, (a TI) and another journalist is heavily beamed. The thing that stopped it was a succor punch. This is an orgone device on a stick, like a wand.There are a lot of YT videos about these things.
I have the purple Tesla plates that I keep on me.They really help.
If you visit the site of Kevin Courtois orgoneproducts dot org, he has some amazing stuff. Expensive, but you can make your own. It’s a great barrier to gangstalkers. It doesn’t get rid of them completely but it helps a lot. It’s also therapeutic to autistic kids and feral cats. Don’t know why, it just is.
Another thing I do to them in the store is I approach them and say nice to see you again. They leave very quickly. Or I take their picture. If my husband is around I’ll say something like I’m really looking forward to living in this kibbutz near Tel Aviv. That gets their attention and they leave quickly or they furiously type on their expensive Blackberry or Iphone. I especially love the alphabet guys who purposely hide their badges with their hands when they see me in public, US Marshall, alpha agencies etc.

More important than the modest difference in average is the standard deviation. It is wider for men than women. That means that the top-performing individuals in the population will always be men, and in much larger numbers than women. This has implications for DEI assertions regarding the need for an equal number of women in technical fields requiring a high IQ.

AC, the Kremlin openly blamed UK and France for the attacks by UKR on RUS energy systems.

“MOSCOW, March 28. /TASS/. There is reason to believe that the Ukrainian strike on the Sudzha gas metering station was carried out with the assistance of French satellite systems, while British specialists input the coordinates and hit the launch button, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated in response to the Kiev regime’s latest attack on Russia’s energy facilities.

“We have grounds to believe that the guidance and targeting of the strikes were conducted using French satellite systems, while UK specialists provided the coordinate input and carried out the launch. The command was issued from London. Just a week ago, on March 21, this facility was already subjected to a terrorist attack by the Kiev regime, which ordered its militants to blow it up as they retreated from the Kursk Region. Now, following the missile strike, the Sudzha gas metering station has been virtually destroyed,” the diplomat noted.”

Fwiw, I think RT is at least partially comped by Cabal. I prefer TASS. Simpler to deal with the pure Kremlin “propaganda” or “narrative line” than whatever mix of anti-Putin spin and Kremlin spin. RT has a very strong Liberal (in Russian context) pro-West element in the staff. Idk why, but Kremlin allows it.

The search engines are the choke points of the internet. The days of web rings and site lists are long gone.

We have Google and Bing in the USA, Yandex in Russia, and Baidu in China. Baidu is Chinese-only, so not much use to most Americans.

Duckduckgo now claims it has its own search engine, but they used to be a front-end for Google.

Most of the other “search engines” are just portals or front-ends for Google and Bing. Yahoo uses Bing, for example.

There are some independent search engines, but most of them are either too specialized or too tiny to be very useful.

The island of Diego Garcia is a fascinating place. Crucially important for the US as a bomber base obv. It’s been part of the BIOT which is the British Indian Ocean Territory. UK and US have worked together in re the bases etc.

It’s a really imp part of whatever the hell the British “meta-Empire” is. As far as I can tell, their “meta-Empire” is some purely Strategic concept with almost zero Operational or Tactical capacity. Which is why I can only think of it is “meta”.

In October of 2024, Kier Starmer announced that the UK was “giving back” Diego Garcia to Mauritius. Obv a shocking claim. Biden Admin in US was on-board too even more suprisingly (or maybe not).

But then DJT won and that whole plan was halted instantly.

Idk, but I have to see UK’s plan as denial of resources to its enemies. Also this is in light of the further and rapid further degradation of the UKs expeditionary and nuclear forces that began just after the Nordstream bombing. It may be that UK just felt that if “we” can’t use it anymore then no one else should be able too
Idk.

DJT moving bombers threatening Iran to Diego Garcia following UK’s btfo’d move to deny that very thing (I think?) very amusing.

I see Cabal as wanting to regime-change Iran via color revolution placing their ppl in charge. Cabal doesn’t want Iran wrecked. They want control of a strong Iran.

I see the faction behind DJT (or the jewish part (“Chabad”)) as wanting Iran levelled. They don’t want Iran, they want Iran just another MENA failed state.

This is of course the inversion of the opposing factions views in re Russia.

The Bush Faction as always pursues its own inscrutable ends.

I just had a thought tonight. We’ve talked about Brandon’s “autopen” and how every Executive Order and pardon he signed may be invalidated. But there were laws passed during his “administration”, like the “Inflation Reduction Act” and a shitload of Continuing Resolutions because Congress won’t do their job and pass a budget.

If it’s proven that anything signed by autopen is invalid, surely that includes the laws Congress passed and he signed, right? Phelps?

It would be case-by-case. Someone with standing (an actual injury) has to challenge it. That person then has to prove it was done by autopen, and there will have to be a determination if it was done with our without Biden’s authorization, and if he was competent to authorize it.
It’s an entire can of worms, and I don’t think they will dump it all out at once. It will get challenged one-by-one, and Trump is threatening them with those thousand cuts.

The reality is they do. The executive can’t operate without the judiciary at least mostly reliably refereeing what’s going on. The executive would end up being completely lawless, and the American people — even the MAGA side — won’t put up with Trump’s administration (or any other) just jailing people without trials and declaring things without any way for actual citizens to get a day in court.
That would be the result. No courts would hold anyone because they are operating on a completely separate world-view, so they only way to “enforce” would be naked force without even the gloss of due process. That is an anathema to the American people.

I’m inclined to believe the Big Story here is true, largely because A) the kneejerk response/denials of Egyptian Archaeology authorities already known to be deeply corrupt. why would they do that unless …. ?? B) the kneejerk burying of this story by worldwide MSM known to be deeply corrupt of what should be the single biggest story since 1963 – bigger than 9/11. why would they do that unless …. ?? C) because I want it to be true. why? because if even just 1% of this ‘impossible ginormous construction found under the pyramids’ stuff is true, then …. EVERYthing we’ve ever been taught about the past has been a {{intentional}} lie. if you’re anything like me, I advise watching the above. it’s a 35-min synopsis of the aforementioned 4-hr news conference, and where you want to go to is 4:08: ‘what they said at their news conference vs. what was said on TikTok.’

it’s a useful vid. although at this point, all I can still say **with absolute certainty** is “they seem to really believe what they claim to have discovered is really there.” still, that’s lightyears better than what most stories of this kind all turn out to be after 10 seconds of looking into it: “utter bullshit clickbait.” time will tell.

I “think” they are doing something a little different. Shooting radar at an angle and then picking it up at an angle instead of directly overhead. Or maybe not. I got that impression but the news people know nothing about this so it could be garbled. There’s one thing I wonder about. The Nile is near and wouldn’t water saturate the soil and stop the radar? Maybe the pyramids are high enough, don’t know.

There’s definitely another relieving chamber above that long open space before the Kings chamber. I don’t know why they don’t go in the relieving chambers above the kings chamber and drill a small hole to it then thread in a fiber optic camera.

There’s also extremely likely a spiral ramp going all the way around, likely to the top buried in the pyramid. That’s most likely how they got the blocks up. They saw this spiral pattern in particle counters put in the pyramid.

As for how they built it, I think that mystery is solved, at least for me. There was a project engineer. His job was to take all the steps on large construction sites and figure how to coordinate, timing, etc. He got interested in the pyramids construction and went to Egypt. He found in one of museums some flat bottomed wood slats with round tops they found near the pyramids. If you don’t know you can roll square blocks on round topped arches as easily as you can roll cylinders on flat ground. So he built some of these and concrete blocks and found how easy they were to roll, how long it took, his job in construction management was exactly that sort of thing, and calculated every block. He came up with a reasonably small force, can’t remember exactly but it was not too many. I think it was single digit thousands. They could build the whole thing in a year or so rolling these blocks. The blocks rolled on circular tracks just like a railway. You get to a turn you put a round piece and you can rotate the block and head in another direction. I suspect to go up the internal ramps they doubled a rope. One down, one up(Maybe more ropes but all doubled up and down). put the block in the rope so pulling on one end rolls the block up. Have people pull the rope around the block from the top and push the block from the bottom it goes right up the internal ramp.

Gerard C. A. Fonte-“Building the Great Pyramid in a Year, An Engineer’s Report”

The rest of it is geopolymers. You take an alkaline substance and mix it with the crushed limestone laying around Gaza all over and presto in a few days it turns into a block like concrete. So I say they rolled all the chunky square block pieces to the pyramids, rolled them up the internal spiral ramp. While they laid the levels in rough stone others molded exterior smooth blocks and casing you can see on the outside blocks. It’s fairly clear. I expect the top portion was more geopolymer as it’s easy to carry a basket of crushed limestone. To do the top you leave one spiral staircase hole and mount a scaffold all around the top. Build the top. Cover the spiral hole, demo the scaffold and you’re done.

The 4th circuit issued a benchslap so hard in the DOGE case, that it has been decades since a court slapped down a judge this hard in my opinion.
Standing comes up again:

Further, regardless of whether the alleged actions—authorized, ratified or not— could form the basis of a separation of powers claim that the Executive branch is dismantling USAID in contravention of the Legislative branch’s power, plaintiffs have failed, in part, to name the unconstitutional actors as defendants. The district court identified USAID as authorizing and ratifying all actions complained of except closing the prior USAID headquarters and taking down its website. Yet, neither the Executive nor USAID is named here. Confined to the two allegedly unlawful actions identified by the district court, there is no strong likelihood of success on the merits of a separation of powers claim against a defendant who the district court found to be acting without authority and who the government claims is not an Officer of the United States.3

While defendants’ role and actions related to USAID are not conventional, unconventional does not necessarily equal unconstitutional. And none of this is to say that plaintiffs will not be able to develop evidence of unconstitutional conduct as the case progresses. Time will tell. Our holding is merely that, at this time, the record does not support the district court’s finding of a likelihood of constitutional violations.

This isn’t, “we are making it so no one can sue.” This is, “you sued the wrong people asshole.” This is a ROOKIE mistake. Note the footnote. (When judges want to get shitty, they save it for a footnote.)

3 Our concurring colleague eloquently articulates general principles of separation of powers. At least in the abstract, we agree with many of the principles he recites. But he then applies those principles to parties who are not in this case. Our job is to resolve the actual claims by the actual plaintiffs against the actual defendants. And since we all agree that doing that here requires that the injunction be stayed, we will not opine on what might be a proper claim against parties not before us.

The dissent agrees that they fucked up and sued the wrong people, and then spends pages crying about doge The majority in the footnote told them to harden the fuck up.

If, as the district court explained, the administrative leave and contract termination decisions were not unconstitutional, injunctive relief reinstating terminated access is inappropriate.

Continuing, the injunction order requires vast and detailed actions related to the operation of USAID, an Executive agency. But neither that agency, nor its leaders, nor the Executive branch are named as parties to the lawsuit. Not only that, the district court ordered defendants, who it earlier found to lack constitutional authority to act for USAID, to carry out those remedial actions for the agency. In other words, the district court ordered more of the conduct that it held to be unconstitutional. These inconsistent conclusions cannot support the relief ordered by the court.

For all these reasons, the district court’s order does not properly balance the equities involved in this case. And it follows that it harms, rather than furthers, the public interest.

That might sound like weak sauce, but I assure you, in the legal world that is like dunking on a defender while shoving your balls oh his mouth.
The coups de gras

Last, as to the public interest, the public certainly has an interest in ensuring the government is acting constitutionally. However, the public also has an interest in judges wielding power only when so authorized. That authorization limits us to deciding cases and controversies, not political disputes. Cases and controversies involve actual injuries to actual parties, not injuries that are speculative and extend beyond the parties in this case. Courts must be wary of stretching to find harm at the preliminary injunction stage when the record does not support it. This is because the normal practice of “methodically developing arguments and evidence,” is necessarily cast aside for what is often and “almost by design a fast and furious business.” Labrador, 144 S. Ct. 921, 927 (2024) (mem.) (Gorsuch, J. concurring) (quoting DHS v. New York, 140 S. Ct. 599, 600 (2020) (mem.) Gorsuch, J. concurring)

Quoting gorsuch was not an accident. It was a challenge. “Appeal this and see what kind of bumps the SCOTUS puts on your head.”

campaigns that’s coming to me from other billionaires I don’t have proof of anything specific but we are conspiracy
1:52:21
theorists tend to be accurate I’ve been in this game for 16 years I’ve been offered money numerous times I know the
1:52:29
kinds of conversations that go on yeah because I’ve been in them I’ve said no
1:52:35
other people don’t I have to believe one of two things that these young
1:52:41
gentlemen um magically figured out the formula and exploded from Zero to Hero
1:52:47
in no time flat entirely bootstrapped Against All Odds succeeding where everyone else fails one of those
1:52:54
abnormalities or that there was budget there to help them well it brings you
1:53:00
back to literally what we talked about in this podcast the amount of effort that goes into doing this now I’ve said
1:53:06
to you guys I’m not a perfectionist but I like to do things well I wish I wish I could spend a week researching this so I
1:53:13
could come to the table and go here’s all the facts here’s all this I don’t have the Manpower I’m one person and
1:53:20
these guys seem to have in insane amounts of inside information and are collating copious amounts of data to be
1:53:27
then able to turn into like a skit they do for social media and sure they get you in because they do it with like the
1:53:33
Tik Tok green screen and they’re like oh look how like low brow it is like you know it’s underdeveloped
1:53:40
production so so there’s a very very funny saying once you learn how to fake authenticity You’ve Got It Made and
1:53:46
authenticity is the currency now that has the greatest value you have you know and this is why for example um Russell
1:53:52
bran doesn’t show you on a routine basis the Dozen people that he’s got yeah he just looks like he’s just there it’s
1:53:58
just you and me and I’m just this is where I do my meditation man um you know but but the truth is there’s a
1:54:04
production and there’s a business around all of that now I don’t know the scale of the operation of Jordan Shanks or of
1:54:09
um what’s his face the other one that you mentioned I think his name is Conrad but it’s Pol U politics I I don’t know I
1:54:16
don’t know their stories and I’d be very happy to hear them um but as I look at that I don’t don’t see self-made
1:54:24
bootstrapped what it looks to me as though there has been money there that
1:54:30
has helped them to solve problems quickly that normally have to be solved slowly because it takes time to build momentum and I know that because we’re
1:54:37
literally doing it well I’ve been doing it for 16 years you know the old saying it takes 10 years to become an overnight
1:54:42
success well I must be a bit dumb because it’s taken me 16 um but I I got offered a million dollars by Dick Smith
1:54:48
I’ve told you that story and Dick Smith comes to me says Hey TOA love your work this is I think 2012 30 um being offered
1:54:54
a million bucks and a million bucks was worth double back then what it is now right a million dollars was a substantial amount of money I didn’t I I
1:55:00
was homeless at the time actually I was staying on I was staying at a friend’s couch um and he comes along and says hey
1:55:05
love your work you’re an amazing Communicator I have this thing called the Wilber Force award it’s a million dollars towards someone under 30 years
1:55:11
of age who is willing to be the face of my campaign against a big Australia yeah and um I said look I think you’re wrong
1:55:18
about the dangers of a big Australia I’ve read your book I’ve watched your documentary I think you’re wrong but if there’s a million dollars on the line
1:55:23
I’ll have a chat so he flew me up to Sydney we spent a day together it was a good it was a fun day we flew in the helicopter over the Sydney Harbor Bridge
1:55:29
like just one of those stories that I tell and people just don’t believe that it actually happened and he spent the whole day basically trying to convince
1:55:35
me to take a million bucks off him yeah and I spent the entire day arguing back and pointing out the holes in his
1:55:40
reasoning and in his argument and in the end he gave up and he just went okay because I wasn’t willing to be the face
1:55:45
of something I didn’t truly believe in but that’s not the only time I’ve been offered money there are lots of people
1:55:51
out there even even 10 years ago when my following was a fraction of what it is the minute there’s a bit of a following
1:55:57
there all of a sudden the checkbook comes out yeah and I’ve said no every single time apart from when I’ve
1:56:03
crowdfunded um for you know documentaries and things like that um but I have to believe based on the
1:56:09
evidence that I’m seeing it appears to me uh that others have not said no yeah

The same episode on Venezuela and whether you should flee your country. (TLDR, worth a damn venezeulans should because the scumbags and retards eventually dragged everyone down) They were very wealthy in the 40s and have good weather and agricultural land and because of retardery the people that remained have to dumpster dive.

I’m enjoying having a debate with um I think it’s Mark bis on online um he says
1:25:02
that we’re on our on the road to Zimbabwe I say we’re on the road to Venezuela uh we’ll meet in 20 years in
1:25:08
compare notes and we’ll probably find out that we were both right yeah yeah and and this is the extraordinary thing
1:25:14
that really worries me about the general Australian is because they’re so politically apathetic this is we’re so
1:25:20
far down the road now that it’s it’s on the verge of catastrophic and we’re not going to be having this conversation
1:25:26
until another 5 10 years where people going what what happened yeah it’s a concern so I I have told you the story
1:25:33
but I I don’t think I’ve said it on this podcast before so I’ll I’ll tell the story of 

1:26:11
uh so Venezuela so I was there in 2015 I was there with my wife for a friend’s wedding we were there in kakas
1:26:18
city for a week when it was the most dangerous city on earth outside of a war zone you had to go to Afghanistan or Iraq to find somewhere more dangerous
1:26:25
and it was quite striking because there’s a lot of similarities between Caracas City and Melbourne and that’s no
1:26:31
coincidence both cities have a very wealthy history thanks in the case of caras to the rubber boom in in Melbourne
1:26:38
to the Gold Rush uh but similar kind of results beautiful beautiful architecture
1:26:43
from you know 100 years ago beautiful ornate buildings multi-story lovely Bullards down the center of the city Etc
1:26:51
the difference is that in um kakas there’s an enormous amount of Decay whereas it’s been maintained much better
1:26:58
in in Melbourne and if you look up you could think you were in Melbourne then you look down and there’s bread lines
1:27:04
literal lines of people stretching around the corners of multiple blocks of people waiting and hoping to get into a
1:27:10
supermarket today in the hope that the supermarket might have a little bit of the essentials that they need we were
1:27:16
there for a wedding they had to start buying and storing butter months in advance so that they would have butter
1:27:22
to make the wedding cake yeah and the the and these were wealthy this was a
1:27:28
wealthy family right they they were the ones with money you can appreciate the ones without were were in in ter
1:27:34
terrible terrible Strife I saw people on their way home from work these are people with jobs wearing suit and tie
1:27:41
dumpster diving in the hope of finding scraps of food to take home to their kids I went to a pro government rally so
1:27:49
this was a this was shortly after the death of Hugo Chavez they now had Nicholas Maduro as their president now
1:27:56
Chavez came to power I think very late ’90s or early 2000s only about 15 20
1:28:01
years before we were there and he’s the one that brought in socialismo he’s the one that promised this socialist
1:28:06
paradise and so in 15 to 20 years they’d gone from being relatively wealthy to
1:28:12
being among the poorest countries on Earth and only back in the 1940s they were one of the wealthiest countries on Earth they still did this day have the
1:28:18
highest per capita uh proven oil reserves of any country on Earth they have a beautiful growing climate they
1:28:25
their tourism should be off the charts let’s not forget that’s the that’s the Caribbean Sea right there right there in front of them um they have so much going
1:28:32
for them and yet they are this impoverished country I went to this this Pro Maduro rally in the very center this
1:28:38
beautiful city Square in the very center of Caracas with all the old buildings around it the old government buildings
1:28:43
beautiful Spanish style uh government buildings and I’m watching people lining up to be given a free t-shirt which of
1:28:50
course has all these prover slogans all over it and I was there with someone who spoke the local language and they interpreted for me and I spoke to these
1:28:56
people and they expressed to me how incredibly grateful they were that the
1:29:01
government was giving them a free t-shirt because if it weren’t for the government they couldn’t afford to buy one yeah wow and the level of and they
1:29:08
meant it like they couldn’t see the cause and effect relationship well if it weren’t for the government you’d be able
1:29:14
to afford to buy one for yourself [right so then it’s a very divided City though
1:29:19
because there’s the the government areas and then there’s the the essentially the business areas and that really is the
1:29:24
divide in the city there’s there were a lot of people that tried to stop um Hugo Chavez from getting into power they
1:29:30
tried to stop him from being elected he rigged the elections uh he may have won the popular vote as well even without
1:29:35
the rigging but certainly there was rigging going on and he got in and so because of the Heritage you can go and
1:29:42
listen to incredible music you can you know the the the cocktails are in fish bowls and it’s like a dollar 70 and is
1:29:49
is like you you’re drunk on one we still had five um we you know but here’s the
1:29:55
thing that’s that’s a $30 cocktail in Australia so I’m saving 25 bucks every time I buy one so if I buy enough of
1:30:00
them we’ll make money on the trip yeah yeah right we’ll turn a profit so look I I went hard I tried I tried so hard um
1:30:07
but the I’m sitting there in this incredible jazz bar drinking these massive cocktails and enjoying the
1:30:13
atmosphere and the food the food culture is incredible for those that have the money where they know how to get the
1:30:19
black market ingredients and I got shatting to an older gentleman who was sitting in the next booth over from me
1:30:25
and he spoke enough English that we could talk and he was probably 60 or so and he very quickly figured out that I
1:30:31
was someone he could talk to he I wasn’t a pro Chavez person and he began to
1:30:36
share with me his experience because he had been one of the people who campaigned for the for the um then
1:30:42
government that lost power to shz campaigned against socialism campaigned against shavez warned his compatriots
1:30:50
his country against the dangers of socialism gave everything to this political campaign and lost and he
1:30:57
shared with me and he had this pain in his eyes and on his face the experience
1:31:03
of watching a bunch of other people move out of Venezuela they moved to Spain they moved to to America they moved to
1:31:09
Mexico they moved to other parts of South America and he was angry at them why are you abandoning this fight you
1:31:14
need to stay here and fight fight with me and he gave everything to the fight but ultimately the fight was hopeless
1:31:20
yeah because whilst he was trying to plug the holes in the bottom of the ship there were other people there with sledgehammers making them bigger right
1:31:27
and he realized too late that he’d waited too long and he had nothing left and he couldn’t get himself or his
1:31:32
family out so then he shared with me what it was like to watch his son become chronically depressed as he lost his
1:31:39
business and has no real prospects in life because you either join the government side or you live in poverty
1:31:45
yeah and either way you’re living in poverty yeah and then he had the experience of watching his grandson who
1:31:50
was still a young child at that point in time develop the symptoms of Mal nutrition the pot belly that comes with
1:31:56
malnutrition and he said you know I can buy alcohol you know we’re in this lovely little jazz bar he said I can I
1:32:02
can buy alcohol do you think I can get him fruit no do you think I can get him you know just food um you know he’s
1:32:08
dumpster diving for his grandson to try and Stave off malnutrition yeah and I know what a man’s face looks like when
1:32:15
he’s lived that and he has that on his conscience because he blames himself yeah he I my friends told me to get out
1:32:21
and I I told them they were wrong and actually they were right yeah and so I made a promise to myself
1:32:27
in that jazzar in the basement of a building in Caracas that I will never be that man I will never be that guy who
1:32:33
gives everything to the fight and keeps nothing back for the family yeah right so people said to me oh why are you
1:32:39
leaving um Victoria you should stay in fight no I shouldn’t my first loyalty is to my family yeah now I’m still in
1:32:45
Australia we considered leaving Australia we decided to stay but is there a point at which I would leave Australia yeah there is I I’ll never
1:32:51
stop fighting for it but but I don’t have to be here and suffer the stupidity of the fools around me who are bashing
1:32:58
more holes in the bottom of the ship G and I have had that conversation we’ve actually been having that conversation a
1:33:03
lot like what does that look like for us and when do you think we pull the pin
