It's an extremely fertile soil.
That's true.
What I was speaking about yesterday, my talk was on civilizational decline.
I started off by quoting the magisterial concepts of Arnold Toynbee in his
12-volume set of A Study in History, his fifth volume, he actually says, he makes the argument that having studied 21 notable civilizations, 19 of them collapsed, not because of external pressures from outside, but from internal pressures from within.
19 out of 21 civilizations collapsed because of internal implosion.
I made the argument, Steve, that for Toynbee writing in 19...
on the eve of the Second World War, it never predicted the decline of Western civilization.
And I made the suggestion that the decline of the Judeo-Christian West, the demise of the Judeo-Christian West, isn't due necessarily to external push upon outside, and neither is it due to the internal spiritual malaise from within.
The decline here in the West, and this is what makes it unique, is due to the betrayal of our political class, of our sociopathic overlords.
As I was making an argument yesterday to come back to the point you were talking about with Dr Thayer before the break about COVID and the lockdowns, I got one of my loudest and most sustained applauses of my speech when I said,
look the guys who are running the world these people are sociopaths and to make that argument to get the connection between myself and the audience talking the language that i knew they were going to understand i cited covid and the lockdowns and i said you know these people they were lying to us then about the virus and they're still lying to us today five years later and it's exactly the same with the vaccine they were lying to us then about the vaccine about it being safe and effective and they're lying to us
today and that's their response to these things just to continue to gaslight and as i say i was talking to fellow kindred spirits when i said that and it helps to get across this argument that the people who are winning our various countries in the west and sort of fundamentally behind the reason of our decline and collapse as a civilization even though our culture
is, I think, one of the best that mankind has ever produced.
It's because we have elected and we've gone electing sociopaths, people who pretend to seek, when they're seeking election, to want to represent us.
But in fact, they're representing ideologies that are antithetical towards our needs and our interests because they hate us.
No, not at all.
They're very enthusiastic.
It's a theme that the Australian speakers themselves were repeating at every opportunity.
Australia is firmly within the Judeo-Christian
