Right Said Fred— Said Right Things

**Jerm** (0:30)
My name is Jerm, this is Jerm Warfare, the Battle of Ideas. Wow, it's been a long time, I don't know, three years, maybe?

**Richard** (0:39)
Right Said Fred, thank you for joining me in the changes. Yeah, yeah, last time we spoke, I think we were still in the middle of the kind of agreed madness, and that's depleted somewhat.

**Fred** (0:53)
So things are getting back to normal now.

**Richard** (0:54)
Yeah, things are feeling a little bit more sane now. But yeah, are you certain about that?

**Fred** (1:00)
Well, yes, I said normal, I shouldn't have said normal. So that's not really what I meant.

**Richard** (1:06)
What I meant was that there's been an awakening to a degree from certain areas, and the knock on effect that a lot of us talked about with after the lockdown, which would be things like digital ID and more authoritarian approach, stuff like that. That has come to fruition. We're not fruition, but they're trying to push that agenda. And so from that point of view, I think there is an awakening.
It's still sporadic, and there's still a lot of people out there. We've got a neighbor who's in the entertainment industry, and he religiously reads The Garden, and this is to Sky News, because he thinks, yes, he thinks they are the arpertus of truth.
And we will, and we talked to him, and we mentioned the World Economic Forum, or George Soros, or people like that, and he hasn't got a clue who we're talking about. Not a clue. It's so funny, though.

**Jerm** (2:04)
Yeah, you would think people by now would know who they are.

**Richard** (2:08)
No, a lot of people don't.

**Fred** (2:10)
No, people who only look at the mainstream news would never know.

**Richard** (2:13)
No.

**Fred** (2:13)
If you want to find out about Ukraine and Russia or the Middle East or Gaza or digital ID or facial recognition, anything basically, do not go to the mainstream media. It's just not reliable.

**Richard** (2:28)
That's not true.

**Fred** (2:29)
So you're much better off searching these places out for yourself.

**Richard** (2:32)
I think it's good just to cherry pick and, you know, just to get, not cherry pick, but just get your information from different places and do your own, you know, listening to mainstream media, then listen to something else and then say, well, why do I pick this? And I just, just different sources really, you know.

**Jerm** (2:50)
It's very important to triangulate.

**Richard** (2:54)
It is very important to triangulate.

**Fred** (2:55)
We often said if they had, if people had cameras in their phones in 1914, the call up rate would have been appalling. Because people would have been taking pictures of the trenches and people would have thought, well, I'm not going there.

**Richard** (3:07)
Selfie with trenches.

**Fred** (3:09)
Selfie with trench foot, yeah.

**Richard** (3:10)
Yeah, not good.

**Fred** (3:11)
No, so I think for years now, the press and the mainstream media in the west has had a pretty free run and they don't like what's happening. They don't like the fact that their numbers are decreasing daily.

**Richard** (3:24)
I mean, a lot of online creators, content creators are outperforming mainstream. You know, a lot of them, it's not just one or two now. People just use the site, maybe Joe Rogan or whoever. But now it's a lot of people.
The numbers are there for people to see, yeah.

**Jerm** (3:43)
Just quickly, before we continue, for those listening who are wondering why we keep hearing so many aeroplanes, it's just because you guys are close to the airport. Yes.

**Richard** (3:52)
It's fine, it's weird, you know. It changes from day to day, and it changes on cloud cover. So, yeah, so today's particularly noisy, actually. I don't normally do it. I tell you what, I could close the door.

**Fred** (4:07)
We're actually quite close to the castle. We're actually quite close to Windsor Castle. And one of the stories...
Does anybody know a carpenter?

**Richard** (4:21)
Watch out.

**Fred** (4:25)
Yeah, one of the stories about the castle is if the monarch is in the castle, they're not allowed to fly over.

**Richard** (4:32)
That's what we've been told.

**Jerm** (4:33)
I did not know that.

**Fred** (4:35)
Yes, I think it's in case they empty the latrine. As they fly over.

**Jerm** (4:40)
Yeah, I don't know.

**Fred** (4:41)
Which would be my choice, obviously.

**Richard** (4:42)
Yeah, obviously, you're living so close to the castle. We know lots of people who work and will live within within the castle grounds. There are lots of stories bouncing around. How true they are, I don't know.
