I can’t you tell how many times I wanted to smash, not just my kids’ phones, but also those of my friends! An utter luddite, I too resented those things even at the ‘flip phone’ 1G stage. I relinquished what became my way overpriced landline about 10-years ago because the industry began its “anonymous caller” robo-dial program while making caller id and blocking impossible. To this day I resent the fact that I and others were manipulated into abandoning our landlines for what I refer to as satanlines.

Anyway, great conversation. Thank you for sharing. Will look forward to your discussion of the toileting of today’s music - that which even some of the younger generation seem to abhor. Like the nonstop flashing strobe lights we see everywhere (... um, maybe more like the incessant annoying if not deafening ear-piercing backup ‘safety’ beepers being sounded in our public urban as well as rural domains across the country) I am convinced that it’s being forced into our skulls deliberately.

Aside from the hiphop crap of the 80s and 90s (which you could easily ignore), my own observations of the ghetto-rap-warrior-whigga-beat dumbing down of our music culture began some time ago. However, over the past year or so I have noticed that in public venues it's getting louder, more vulgar, and more incessant. Interestingly, the local grocery store (and of all places Walmart, where I take my Mother to shop twice a month or so) plays the more timeless, melodic genres, otherwise, the the crap-pop niggabeat sounds blasting from loudspeakers is everywhere you go – even (as of this summer) at the otherwise beautiful city park where I reside.

Another excellent Radio Bleat! Happy to hear that Prof Robson concluded his book with a glimmer of hope. I looked up CASEL because my kids are current specimens (although I try my best to combat the indoctrination). Good lord, did Kamala, or her speechwriters, used to work there?

"What Does the Research Say?

SEL makes a difference. We know this from the research, which demonstrates that an education that promotes SEL has a positive impact on a wide range of outcomes, including academic performance, healthy relationships, mental wellness, and more."

And they actually use the words systemic implementation. Puke.

"A whistleblower has come forward with an explosive new trove of documents, rivaling or exceeding the Twitter Files and Facebook Files in scale and importance. They describe the activities of an “anti-disinformation” group called the Cyber Threat Intelligence League, or CTIL, that officially began as the volunteer project of data scientists and defense and intelligence veterans but whose tactics over time appear to have been absorbed into multiple official projects, including those of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)."

On the ‘elite’ thing, never forget they are self-appointed and have zero authority over anyone, although so many sheeple seem to think they do. I call them the ‘so-called elite’ as, like Garry says, they are anything but.

On the behavioural psychology thing, BiT was all over Australia’s ‘pandemic’ response, as they’ve been deeply embedded in government here for a long time. Sadly, most Australians proved themselves willingly mind-controlled and corralled into taking the bioweapon. A 17% increase in all cause mortality has been the result.

Finally, can you ask Garry when his book might be out in paperback? I would love to read it but the hardback is too expensive for me at this time.

Thanks both for another thought-provoking chat 🙏
