Do you see connections everywhere you look? Are you wondering about the great awakening and how it will affect you? Thanks for joining me, Anne Corbin and my guests. As we offer you different perspectives and analyses of current issues, together with advice on health, wealth, and relationships, as we navigate those storms together, not forgetting the systems available to us from metaphysics Anne our own higher selves.
You know how often a serious program will end with something quick and lighthearted just to finish up? A couple of Sundays ago, one of them was discussing Matt Hancock's absence from his constituency, and parliamentary duties. While he attended as a competitor, that thing they hold in the bush in Australia called I'm a celebrity get me out of here. If you're not familiar with it, it's a very long running so called reality show on ITV, I think.
And in case you've never watched it or never even heard of it, It's a sort of, a competitive form of suffering in a staged setup where these so called celebrities compete with each other. To survive endurance tests, which can involve eating disgusting sounding food, as well as intermittently being cooped up with rats and spiders and snakes and so on. This is 21st century entertainment people.
And after about 20 years, it clearly still attracting audiences and getting ratings because, well, vast numbers of people must still be watching it, or they wouldn't be making it anymore. No comment. Back to Matt Hancock and the politics program, with the lighthearted ending. Following disapproval of his partaking in this activity, particularly in the light of his actions during COVID Anne lockdown and so forth.
The hostess of the politics show then produced a plate of maple cured crickets and challenged him and the other guests on the program to each one. And everybody complied. Comments ranged from to not that bad, actually. Now this is dangerous Anne, in my opinion. Eating insects is not to be encouraged. Humans are just not designed to eat bugs, and we're certainly not designed to digest them. They contain kite in.
That's what makes their outside shells for Anne of a better word hard, and we can't cope with it. It's sharp as well, so goodness knows what danger it could do if it got stuck sideways in some of the smaller tubes in our intestines. So my view is it could be positively dangerous. I believe I've seen articles about children being served school meals based on insects.
And I've also heard that snack manufacturers are developing packs of salt and vinegar flavored bugs and so on, to sell from vending machines Anne in corner shops and so on. Don't be fooled. Don't eat them, and don't let your kids eat them. Whether it's for bravado or anything else, they might end up tasting nice. Nice. If they've been sufficiently dried Anne there's more flavor on there than actual insect, but the whole idea is so disgusting. We must not give into it.
I do not believe that there's any nutritional value. I suspect that their poisonous Anne remember, also, you're eating the entire animal, including the contents of its gut. Now, mind body spirit enthusiasts will be familiar with that expression what you resist persists. Anne we use it to encourage people to focus attention in the right direction. Anne therefore, direct energy there.
So Corbin example, if you're against war, Then you should demonstrate four piece rather than demonstrate against war because energy flows where focus goes. Okay. Great argument really makes good sense, but the problem is that it can also encourage apathy. We've all been efficiently programmed at school to sit down and shut up. Basically. And so, therefore, most of us have a tendency as adults just to go along to get along. And not to make waves.
And fundamentally, we think it's best to comply with authority. Sorry to say this, but I think many of us like being told what to do. It's easier Anne it means we don't have to think. But what if what we're told to do is wrong? Let's go back to something that happened about 15 years ago. It's, I mean, 15 years pre lockdown. As an example of how easily the British complied with the smoking ban.
People who know me or who followed me for a while know that one of my highest values is freedom of choice. I believe in choice. Of course, I also believe in not doing harm, and there's an argument that smoking is harmful to others, as well as to the smoker, but I'm not certain that comprehensive proof of this was ever put forward, especially when the smoking is going on in the open air or where the space is well ventilated. I personally know many doctors who still smoke.
I also know many doctors and scientists who say that excessive drinking is much worse for your health than smoking is. But drinking in pubs was part of the British way of life, for centuries, and anyone with a modicum of foresight could foresee that removal of smoking from that equation was going to cause devastation to the public house tradition. When I moved into the village where I've lived for 20 years or so. There were 2 popular operational pubs. Now we have none.
Pubs have been struggling for years against the dual pressure of cheap alcohol from the supermarkets and the drink driving restrictions. Obviously, they're a good thing, but at least they could fight back Anne they could offer food Anne pubs became affordable places to eat out and socialize. And even, and pubs became places to bring the kids. People didn't only meet at the pub for food and drink. They met for company because humans are sociable animals.
And when that smoking ban started, smokers would go outside to get their fix, leaving their friends, With the choice of staying inside Anne being lonely or accompanying them outside. Until they finished their cigarette. It was quite funny, really. Thoughtful pubs attended to erect weatherproof shelters outside.
And then these became illegal because smokers using them were plaster smoking inside, I think, because there was a roof and half built walls or some air brained argument like that, So even though they were undeniably outside Anne definitely not warm and cozy inside, certainly not exposing staff to any risk, I. E. Anne smoke. These shelters are, I mean, a couple of them were built in nearby villages. So I'm talking Anne experience. They were up one day.
They were down the next, but the, the people who invested money in making their customers happy just spent that money in vain. Had enough people objected strenuously, loudly, In advance of the ban, it might never have happened, but it telegraph to the government that we were fully compliant. So when they went for lockdown in 2020, they were pretty confident that there would be little or no pushback.
Sometimes people look back at those poll tax demonstrations round about 1990 that did for Margaret Fletcher, but they were not spontaneous demonstrations. They were well organized Anne they were carried out in the main by paid activists, rent a mob we used to call them.
There were plenty of people who thought that that so called poll tax, I've actually forgotten what its real name was, but when it was introduced, it was it had some fancy name, and it was people themselves, you know, the, the population who referred to it as the poll tax. Like we refer to the bedroom tax when council home renters had to pay if there were insufficient people, in the accommodation that they were renting or at the government's expense.
So these things, they look fair on the surface, but when you try and put them into operation. There's always unfairness. Anyway, back to the poll tax. The people who were in favor of it didn't demonstrate Were they the silent majority? Who knows?
I'm also aware, as I'm thinking about rent a mob, that in France, I believe, or it could have been the Netherlands, there were a lot of demonstrations well over a year ago protesting about, oh, you know, government restrictions, covid, vaccinations, mandates, all that kind of thing. There were plenty of peaceful demonstrations, which were infiltrated by Antifa. Oh, so I'm told, I mean, I wasn't part of them. I'm in a different country.
I believe these people wore yellow jackets But they disrupted totally peaceful demonstrations, and therefore, the whole thing just became a a dismal Anne, and nobody achieved anything, and people actually got hurt. But We Brits are too compliant We must stand up for ourselves and say no to the next lockdown of healthy people, and everything that goes with it. Masks are bad for your health. Particularly so with school children who had to sit in classrooms wearing masks for hours.
I mean, just think how unhealthy that is. You are breathing, or sorry, they are breathing, anybody wearing a mask, is breathing recycled and recycled Anne recycled Corbin side, and there is a distinct lack of fresh oxygen to the brain. So, you know, Go figure. Masks are a bad idea, and they do not protect people from germs. It's like trying to stop mosquitoes using something as big as chicken wire.
As this podcast recording draws to a close, I just want to refer you please to a link in the notes, which will be for yet another petition we have the opportunity to challenge the fact that the government is going to introduce CBDCs. I have spoken about this before, that central bank digital currency. Not only must we keep using cash, we need to resist strongly this dreadful idea of central bank digital currency, we must not surrender control and privacy and everything like that.
When that digital currency is introduced, it might seem fair enough for the 1st year or 2 but the intention is to use it to control us. It's like having vouchers with expiry dates, we will lose control of our money. And now I want to finish with a rather famous poem. It's by Pastor Martin Nick Mueller, on the subject of making a stand for what's right, even when it doesn't directly affect you. You might very well have heard this before, but here goes. And my apologies to the good pastor.
I've just given him the wrong name. He was pastor Corbin Anne Mueller. First, they came for the communists. Anne I did not speak out because I was not a communist. Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out. Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. And then they came for me.
And there was no one left to speak out for me. Horst for thought Anne see you next time. So friends, if you enjoyed this content and would rather not wait until next week for more the same, you are warmly invited to check out my new membership program. It's called Awaken Dot Plus Anne the Enquirer level is open now. If you join as a founder member, the price for you will never rise.
My book, The Mind Body Spirit Mentor, is available on Amazon, and please leave me a review for the podcast or the book, or both, and connect with me on social media, and keep sending me those suggestions for subjects that you would like me to discuss in future podcasts.
