Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Thursday's episode of Trending. It's nearly Easter. We've nearly made it, folks. Okay, last trend in for a few days. Um, tomorrow's Good Friday. Why is it called Good Friday? It's a genuine question. I actually don't know the answer to that, because isn't that the day that Jesus was killed? I I don't know about you, that doesn't feel like a good day, but world's mad. Okay, now the first two stories. Well, the first story is from a couple of days ago, actually, so it's not really trending. But I'm gonna I'm gonna go and cover it because the second story, which is a trending story, obviously relates to that. So that there's method in the madness, folks. So this is from a couple of days ago. Top Brussels official urges Europeans to work from home and drive less. They've got no imagination. I keep saying that's why they need to tax our creativity, the population's creativity, because they ain't got any of their own. Energy Commissioner says the oil crisis triggered by Iran war will bring lengthy upheaval in a speech reminiscent of the COVID pandemic. Like I say, it's no imagination. What's just rehashing stuff? It's laughable, really. If it wasn't, you know, gonna cause so much turmoil and so much pain economically and stuff to people, it would be funny. The European Commission has urged people to work from home, drive and fly less, and for EU countries to urgently roll out renewables. They've been doing that for years, haven't they? We've been saying that, they've been saying that for years. In the United Kingdom, this is what gets me, you'll you'll have your energy companies and they'll go, we're 100% renewable. And then the prices go up, and they say, Yeah, because of Putin's war on Ukraine, because of the gas prices. Thought you were 100% renewable, mate. EU countries to urgently roll out renewables, and it's warned of a prolonged energy crisis as a result of the conflict in the Gulf. A manufactured conflict, a manufactured crisis, of course, to bring in everything that the cult wants. And that's what I said on this week's um Gareth High This Week show. It's like, isn't it funny how the guy that was elected to as an outsider to fight the deep state, to fight the globalists, to drain the swamp, is doing everything that plays into the hands and will facilitate the long-term goals of the swamp. It's almost like he wasn't here to do that. It's almost like it was all a scam. Of course, they want us to drive less, they want us to travel less, they want us to fly less, they want us in 15-minute cities. This isn't a secret, like, this isn't a pop your tinfold hat on. They openly say it. Like, I'll give them credit for that, to be fair. At least they've not lied, at least they're honest, they say that's what we want. We want you eating z bugs. But people don't want it, people haven't accepted it. Well, they got a problem then. So we need to manufacture a crisis, we need to cause a problem so that then we can offer the solution. That's it's the oldest playbook, man. It's it's honestly, like I say, there's no imagination, there's no creativity in any of it. Now, when you realize that they want us locked down, essentially, they don't want us to travel, don't want us going around meeting people, they don't want us out on the land, they want us in our 15-minute cities on our universal basic income, which of course is sod all, because then we're dependent on the state. And that's what you want. It's like an abusive husband. He wants his, he doesn't want his wife going out and getting a job and earning her own money. No, you stay at home, love. You're dependent on me then, because you're not leaving at that point, are you? You can't, because you starve. And that's what they want. We are essentially the battered spouse. And when you know that's what they want, you realize that lockdowns are a great way of achieving all that stuff, destroying the economy. Of course, you're not travelling, you lock down. The problem is, people can refuse. Like I said this last week, people can refuse to lock down. We did in massive numbers, and it grew throughout COVID, of course. Handful of people at the protest at the start, outnumbered by the coppers. By the end, you know, you could just see this this apart from that bit, which was covered by a blue Indonesian sweatshop mask, you all you could see was the copper's eyes like that, like, geez. Yeah, there's a lot of us, in there, mate. Not much you can do about it, son. And they would part and let the people through. So if they try and introduce another lockdown, people would start off at a more enlightened level, and therefore you wouldn't have that compliance that you had in the first few months of 2020. People have pretty much go no chance from the beginning, touch wood, they would. Well, that's why you need to manufacture a crisis that isn't just you saying lockdown, it's you causing a lockdown. Because if they say you're not allowed to drive, you can say sod off, mate. If they say you're allowed to drive, mate, you drive as much as you want, no fuel now. That's annoying. Well, it's a different, it's a different problem, then, isn't it? And this is again something else that I was saying in the show this week. I like an analogy. I'm a fan of analogies. Normally I use football analogies, but I realize that football's kind of lost on probably half of the viewership in North America and South America. That's like, is he talking about soccer? I don't know much about soccer, man. So, right, I'll move away from that and I'll go into what can I move away? I'll move away from football and I'll move into real estate. So, say you buy some land and it's got an old house on it, it's all banged up. Do you know what I mean? It used to be an old farmhouse back in the day. Um, and you want to build a house on the footprint, because the house is a mess, but the land's great, right? And you want to build this nice modern house on it. You don't bring the builders in on day one. Of course you don't. They turn up and go, there's house there already. You have to bring the bulldozers in first, smash all that to smithereens, flatten it, and at that point you begin to build, build back better. You begin to build the world that you want, which unfortunately isn't the world that we're gonna want at all. And that's the stage we're at now. We're at the bulldozer stage. Trump is the wrecking ball, he's a chaos agent. In a speech with echoes of the early days of the coronavirus pandemic that didn't exist. Um, EU energy chief Dan Jorgensen said, Dan Jorgensen looks like David Brent from the office, by the way. Google that. Dan Jorgensen, David Brent, the office. Same bloke. EU, I say that, I said that to my brother and he didn't see it, but I see it. Maybe you will. EU energy chief Dan Jorgensen said Europe was facing a very serious situation with no and um no clear end in sight. Even if, he continued, peace is here tomorrow, still we will not go back to normal in the foreseeable future, he said following an extraordinary meeting of the EU's 27 energy ministers on Tuesday. No, it won't go back to the old normal. That's the point. They want the new normal. And again, they've made no secret of that. Now, as I was saying, Trump's a wrecking ball. He's doing what he's doing to create the chaos, he's coming out with his chaotic statements and his contradictions because that makes the market go wild, which causes problems and upheaval. He is literally, he is, he's he's a hand grenade in a watermelon. Bosh, just carnage. That's why he's here, and he's a he's a he's great at uh at causing that, and he always has been. Said a bunch of times, when he came to the fore back in 2016, you had this great polarization of society, which is what they want. They want us over here and over here. They don't want the reasonable bit, reasonable bit in the middle. They want people getting on. So if you said to someone in 2016, and now, well, less so now, but if you said to someone in 2016, what do you think of Donald Trump? No one would go, he's alright. It was he's an orange goblin, or he's the saviour, he's gonna bring down the date deep state Q 5D chess. There's nothing really in the middle, and that's great. You just you split society, perfect. Keep them arguing amongst themselves, and they won't actually focus on what you're doing. Um, now another part of it, which is the second story, is you never let a crisis, manufactured or otherwise, go unexploited. Never do that. So this is a this is a honestly. I saw this and I was like, oh mate. Again, it's predictable. That's why they have to tax our creativity. Starmer says he will push for a closer partnership with the EU after Iran war highlights global volatility. Imagine my shock. Starmer says with global volatility, they've just they've just reworded the headline. Um Starmer says with global volatility, UK's long-term national interest requires a closer partnership with the EU. Of course it does. It's uncanny, innit? When they cause a problem, and by this I don't mean Starmer, I mean the people above him, which Trump, because he's not alternative, Trump aligns with, Netanyahu aligns with Starmer, Macron, all of these people, Ursula von der Leyen, they all align with this cult, which is way above politics. And it isn't it amazing that when these through these cause these problems, these crises, the solution sought for the crisis they've caused is always what they wanted anyway. It's amazing, isn't it? It's almost like it's planned. Starmer rattles through a list of other measures taken by the government to help with the cost of living. It's the cost of not dying. It's not the cost of living, it's the cost of not dying. But he says in the future, it's not gonna be easy. Oh, I'm sure it'll be easy for him, though. I'm sure it'll be easy for him and his family and his gaggle morons he's got around him. They ain't gonna be worrying about paying the bills. Are they? David Lamy's not gonna be worried about filling the car up, Sadiq Khan's not gonna be worried, Rachel Reeves's not gonna be worried. It's the people that suffer, it's always the people that suffer. And what's so annoying about that is the people are the ones with all the power. They just don't realise it and they don't use it. He goes on. We will continue to stand up for the British national interest. It's not April 1st, is it? That's gone. Why is he saying that then? We will continue to stand up for the British national interest and we continue to do what we must to guide our country calmly through the storm. Stamm has not once stood up for the national interest of the United Kingdom, and to be fair to him, he very rarely pretends to. When questioned on whether he was aligned with Westminster or Davos, he chose Davos. That should tell you everything you need to know. Now, the only thing he's done, on the face of it at least, is not get involved in this conflict, but even that is pure theatre. Because he comes out and says, We're not getting involved in the war. And on the face of it, that's an honourable position. People are having a go at him for it, but actually, that's a good thing. British people shouldn't be going and dying in a war for globalist interests, for netanyahu, for Trump, and all that nonsense. They shouldn't be doing that. However, to pretend that we're not involved in the war is disingenuous at best. We're massively involved in it. The Americans are using our bases to go and bomb Iran. We're providing intelligence to the Americans, we're providing intelligence to the Israelis, as we have been throughout the genocide in Gaza, we're complicit in it. So even the even the one thing that you can go, well, that's good, even that's a nonsense. Because we are involved in this war massively. You know, you can say we're not, but we are. However, it is increasingly clear that as the world continues down this volatile path, he loves the word volatile, doesn't he? Our long-term national interest requires closer partnership with our allies in Europe and with the European Union. Mate, when we voted to leave the EU, we voted the wrong way. That was obvious. Because as soon as we did it, you had politicians, people like David Lamy, who is now the deputy leader of this country, unbelievable, I know, coming out saying we don't need to do this, we can just we can just ignore it. I mean, I know you think that, David, but to actually come out and say it. Now, a lot of other nations that voted to leave the EU, they were made to vote again. Keep this is what makes me laugh. We'll give you a vote, right? We vote to leave. Ah, that's a problem. We'll give you another vote, and we vote to stay. Oh, okay. Are we gonna have a third vote? No, it's not a third vote, mate. You voted the way we wanted now. So when it came to the Lisbon Treaty, that's exactly what happened. In Ireland, in Denmark, vote the wrong way, have another vote, vote vote the right way now. Can we have another one? Nope. No, we've got what we want now, mate. Democracy is only there to serve us, not you. Wally. And I was actually surprised that they didn't try and push for another vote. And I guess they kind of did in a way, but they didn't enforce it. I think part of that was then you had the European elections after um afterwards, in which um pro-Brexit, anti-EU parties basically won a landslide, and then you had the general election, where pretty much all the elected um parties or the the overwhelming majority of electorate of the electorate voted for parties that said they'd go through with um with Article 50 and leave the EU. So that was a bit of an underlining then. So I guess they maybe thought, well, actually, if we're gonna keep this illusion of democracy in the UK, then we'd better not, we'd better not overturn it. So they left the EU, but not really. They still kept loads of stuff in place that that you know people people didn't want. So it was kind of a Brexit in name only, anyway. But then you wait, don't you, for a disaster that's manufactured by the people you're owned by anyway. You wait for that that disaster, and when that disaster comes, you go, oh sorry, everyone. Looks like we need to do exactly what we always wanted to do in response to the disaster that we caused. Sorry. It's so predictable. Like I say, they've got no imagination, mate. But that's a good thing. That's a good thing because that's how you can predict what they're gonna do. You can sit here relatively confidently, pretty pretty comfortably, and suddenly turn into Mystic Meg because you know exactly what they're gonna do. Not because you are some kind of genius, but because they're a gaggle of idiots. And also you know what they want. So if you know what they want, it's pretty easy to predict, isn't it? It's pretty easy to predict what they're gonna do next. If I know someone wants to make a spaghetti bolognese, and someone says to me, What do you think they're buying from the shop? I've got an idea. Probably some spaghetti. Okay. That's really good coffee, actually. Um that's the end of the free section on social media. Of course, it's all free anyway. You just need to head over to iconic.com, chuck your email in, and you can get full access to all of it. And um, but if you don't come over and join us, how dare you! No, if you don't come over and join us, have a great Easter. Um I hope you have a good one. I'm looking forward to it. I've got some mates coming up from the from down south, some old schoolmates gonna go out stomping. I'm very, very excited in the countryside. So, whatever you're doing, I hope you have a great one. Spend time with the family and stuff like that. If you're religious, have a good one. If you're not religious, just mate, just enjoy it. Enjoy a break. And um, and I'll see you on Tuesday.

Don't mention the reptiles days. Even less said about the Grey Pope, which some believe to be the true ruling power in the Vatican. Humans missing a macadress. All of them had total sickness. I've never seen it before. This is the ultimate suicide cult. What if the symbols around us every day aren't just ornamental? We lost a thousand years of pistols.

SPEAKER_00 17:57

What if their instruction that stage of awareness is not manipulatable?
