    JD Rucker Show, January 18, 2024

    JD Rucker Show, January 18, 2024
    Title: 2023: The Deep State, Police State, and Nanny State Walk Into a Bar... Description: We're seeing a joke forming in 2023. Unfortunately, there's nothing funny about the punchline. The Deep State is coming out of the shadows and coopting the rising police state. Combined, they form the ultimate weapon to be used against the people with the increasingly prevalent nanny state telling us what we can and cannot do. All the stories I will talk about on today's radio version of The JD Rucker Show are focused on this premise. We are witnessing the Deep State do things in recent months that go against their past norms. They've always operated in the shadows with zero transparency to the public and limited transparency to the government officials, most of whom they control anyway. Lately, they've been far bolder with their public posture. It's no coincidence that the Twitter Files are exposing them. I believe this is intentional. That's not to say Elon Musk or the journalists he tasked with revealing the Twitter Files are complicit in the Deep State's agenda. On the contrary, I think they are doing a fine job and have the right intentions, but let's face it. If the Deep State didn't want the information to come out, it never would have. The same can be said about recent "whistleblowers" painting the CIA as directly involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy Jr. Again, I do not believe the information would have been leaked out conveniently at about the same time unless the Deep State allowed it. They WANT us to be concerned about them, including "normies" who may have never even heard of the Deep State or assumed it was conspiracy theory fodder. For those who think that's silly because it implicates them, I ask this: Does it really? Are you hearing about people getting fired or arrests being made at the CIA? Are they losing budget over this? Is anyone really pressing them? Or is it all fodder to make us think the truth is coming out when in reality they're facing zero consequences as a result? Now, we're seeing the rising police state policies being used by the Deep State to promote the tyranny of the nanny state. It's confusing but hear me out. Police state policies include the use of technologies to keep track of us at all times. They position these things as a positive. For example, the capture of alleged Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger and much of the evidence that will be used to convict him were procured by the police state through "advanced" methods. We will all cheer if he is convicted and ignore the fact that the FBI used DNA they acquired from a family history service like Ancestry.com or 23 and Me. Has your DNA been given to a company that will tell you your great, great grandmother was Irish? If so, the Deep State has your DNA. The use of cell phone pings was instrumental in locating Kohberger. But the same people who were able to pinpoint his location this way claim identical technology used in 2000 Mules is inaccurate. They'll also ask us to ignore the fact that they had isolated cell location data on the January 6 pipe bomber. We've even seen security footage showing the bomber using his phone on his way to drop off the bombs. The FBI increased the reward to $500,000 for information about a man they almost certainly already know. It's all Kabuki Theater. Now, take it all a step further with the nanny state driving the narrative that we need government to control our lives. Will the Deep State use the police state to go after people who are insufficiently limiting their carbon emissions or eating too much meat? Will they track people who don't want to participate in the Digital Dollar as their only means of commerce? Will they put people like you and me on a list of potential domestic terrorists because we aren't getting jabbed? An article by John and Nisha Whitehead breaks down what they believe to be 19 of the steps that our government will take this year to bring us closer to total tyranny. I will cover this in today's episode and expand on some of the pieces, which are listed below. I don't agree... Recorded: January 10, 2023

    Nineteen Eighty-Four (1954) - Wow, It's Just Like 1984

    Nineteen Eighty-Four (1954) - Wow, It's Just Like 1984

    MOVIE DISCUSSION:

    Kathryn joins Melvin in discussing an early English adaption of George Orwell's ground-breaking, genre-defining, and highly-influential novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In this semi-live BBC rendition, one whose controversy is as historic as it is ironic, Kathryn and Melvin discuss not only the impact of this adaption but also the debilitating hopelessness and powerful insight that only Nineteen Eighty-Four can offer.

    Topics:

    • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 16-minutes of Kathryn playing "Would You Rather" except, in the theme of 1984, whatever option Kathryn chooses for herself means the opposite happens to Melvin! Hilarity ensures! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
    • This version of Nineteen Eighty-Four is a combination of pre-recorded and live-stage performances streamed to its original audience, and thus includes some interesting quirks that Melvin finds endearing and fascinating.
    • Kathryn begins by explaining the complicated history behind this particular adaption of Nineteen Eighty-Four, including the controversy surrounding its initial screening.
    • For insight (and giggles!), Kathryn reads a collection of quotes from reviews criticizing the content and tone of this adaption of Nineteen Eighty-Four upon its release.
    • Melvin briefly compares this adaption of Nineteen Eighty-Four with the later released Michael Radford version, stating his preferences, and what works so well in this adaption.
    • People were so disgusted with the tone and content of Nineteen Eighty-Four that cast and crew members had even received bomb threats.
    • Pondering the myth of the Mickey Snow-Globe. Or, as it's known; Snow-Globe Gate.
    • Discussing the iconography of the Snow-Globe.
    • Discussing the monologue on language destruction and thought control delivered by Syme in the film (which is an extra fictional essay in the book).
    • Discussing the oppression of power and Big Brother.

    “Change The Conversation”

    Outro Song: “The World Is On Fire” by American Aquarium

    Should governments be more like nanny states and make all decisions for us?

    Should governments be more like nanny states and make all decisions for us?

    In this show, the boys discuss whether we the population are so busy getting on with our day-to-day lives, then shouldn't we let the government make more and more decisions on our behalf?

    Don't governments know what's really best for us? 

    Like a nanny state, where they take care of almost "everything"? 
    So we the people can get on with what is important for us and not have to deal with the more complex issues of government?

    Or should the governments have LESS involvement in our lives, so leaving the decision-making in our hands rather than theirs? And should we have more of a say in decision-making that is made in government for the bigger issues being faced? 

    So we choose perhaps monthly with referendum whether we agree or disagree with certain decisions that the government make.

    Or do the majority of people, simply don't care either way?

    What are your thoughts on this subject? Do you agree or disagree with Tony and Tayo on this subject?

    Scotland's Fall (feat. David Robertson)

    Scotland's Fall (feat. David Robertson)

    *Apologies that there was a slight technical problem with the podcast recording this morning. This is now sorted and you can download the track again directly from http://podcast.firebrandnotes.com/

    This week on Into the Pray  we are very grateful to talk with David Robertson (aka The Wee Flea), former senior minister of St. Peter's Church in Dundee and now Director of Third Space  in Australia.
     
    David and Nick produced some videos a couple of years back about some critically important issues relating to both the Church and the socio-cultural disintegration that we are all witnessing today. (You can find those via Nick's YouTube channel).

    In today's podcast, David says, "Scotland has descended and secularised quicker than any nation in history."

    If this is true - and it may well be - the British Church need to recognise that a proportional response of humility, repentance and prayer is the gracious, God-given order of the day, not harking back to previous times in our history where a genuine call to repentance may or may not have been issued or nationally observed.

    During the reign of King George 73 years ago, marriage still meant in British law what God says it means, millions of people hadn't been torn limb from limb via the horrors of abortion and our children weren't being told that they could select their gender or experiment safely with pornography - we have to get real!

    David and Nick may not quite see eye to eye on the place and responsibility of the Church in this particular conversation but they do both agree that until we corporately "come to the end of ourselves" (the exact focus of the book, Body Zero) there can be no hope for reformation, renewal or revival.

    You can read David's blog here: https://theweeflea.com
    You can find our more about Third Space here: https://thirdspace.org.au/third-space/about-us

    Please let us know what you think!

    Until next week, 

    Come, Lord!

    Love in Jesus,

    David Davenport: California Chips Away at Individual Freedom

    David Davenport: California Chips Away at Individual Freedom

    California has decided sodas are the new tobacco, with five bills introduced in the legislature to limit sales. If they pass, you won’t be able to buy sodas larger than 16 ounces, you won’t find them in check-out lines, and there will be extra fees.

    New York introduced a bill banning large sodas and it was blocked by a judge. While it was in effect the data showed people actually bought more sodas. And there are very different interpretations of the effects of a soda tax.

    But the real issue is individual freedom. Isn’t drinking a soda your decision, not the government’s? If they are dangerous to health, isn’t education the answer, not regulation?

    The nanny state keeps regulating us more and more at the cost of individual freedom. What’s next: banning meat and dairy products in school lunches? Oops, that bill has been introduced in California also.
