Excellent show, Doc! Haha, as far as I listened to it. I have the habit of plugging an earbud (wired!) and fall asleep so I wil have to listen to it again. Which I usually do.
One of the things that really stuck was "You're a surgeon so when you go looking elsewhere, that is a threat to them." Exactly! Any idea how many times I heard the phrase "I wasn't taught this in medical school"? I had a tactic; follow doctors how found out they couldn't help themself. All of a sudden they find out it wasn't their patients lying to them, they realized their own voodoo didn't really work! Tim Noakes, great man, found out what really kept his diabetes in check. There is a Dutch (sports)doctor who couldn't get rid of that tummy until he did some more research and found out it wasn't just about moving more and eating less.
Sad part is when you try to explain this phenomenon to your friend, they call you a conspiracy theorist. How can you know everything better than people who studied to become a doctor for 9 years! They don't understand they just posed and answered their question simultaniously.
I agree about the insistence of staying in your specialisation. RFK Jr being loudly criticised on exactly this point, but no one ever criticises Bill Gates for his massive interventions across the board - vaccines, economics, WHO, etc ad infinitum.
Interesting.. I will look out for this chap's podcast. But, regarding the current conflict in the Middle East, have any (commited rather than just nominal) Christians been saying "Give them hell!" ? I myself haven't heard any.
Maybe there were brown-skinned baddies in films in the 80s, but I (as an Englishman) seem to remember an awful lot of English actors employed in such roles: Alan Rickman, Jeremy Irons, Ralph Fiennes, Christopher Ecclestone, Lawrence Olivier .... 🙃
I remember watching a documentary called Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reel_Bad_Arabs. I haven't finished the podcast yet, so sorry if I'm missing the context.
Brilliant, informative conversation - thank you both very much. I particularly liked Robin's final words (of advice): "the ability to not just go along with things"...
Here is my second comment, mid-podcast. Ahmad, I had no idea how knowledgable you are about geopolitics, and how much in alignment we are--beyond what I already knew in other issues. I am so impressed! How did you find the time between getting your medical degree, a 25 yr career in surgery (which I'm not thinking of as final, btw) and raising three kids under 10 as an active, involved parent? I think that Robin is the first guest I've listened to who brought out this side of you, and I'm flabbergasted. Or Godsmacked, as my friend Mary's spell check corrected gobsmacked, for once improving the concept.
I've said that there's only ever been one war, which is empire vs. sovereignty. When you talk about destroying God, destroying nationality, and destroying the family, it's all part of that war. However, as you know, I see the bible as the destruction of God. It doesn't replace polytheism with monotheism, as claimed, it sets up a god of hate as the only God. As one theologian asks, "What is the character of your God?" The biblical God is a sociopath, egotistical, vengeful, requiring gold, sacrifice and worship. Is this how your children show they love you?
And last, I agree completely that Israel has always been planned as another sacrifice zone, like Ukraine. Those who are Yews/ ewes/ used (the Hebrew pronunciation) by the Powers Behind Yahweh (PBY) are always set up to take the fall and then be replaced. They're disposable. And Iran, I think, knows this and is being very judicious in their retaliation. The PBY want nuclear war. Isn't that the ultimate holocaust?
And the false flag is a favorite con by the PBY, one they've used for millennia. So you're certainly right to be looking out for it. Loving this conversation! Robin is brilliant and you're no slouch on this front, my friend ;-)
I've now gotten all the way to the jaunty, finger-snapping extro, which I always enjoy. I am in 100% ideological agreement with both of you and I'm so glad you introduced me to Robin's stellar work. The only factual piece I'd add to Robin's understanding is that it's not the price of oil that determines inflation. Certainly protecting the petrodollar as the sole oil currency explains the attack on Qaddafi, who was introducing a new oil bourse. I talk about that in my book in a chapter called Attack of the Petrodactyls--although it's about the fallout of all those petrodollars sloshing around.
Inflation, or rather dilution as it should be called, is manipulated through mortgages and the fluctuating interest rate. Paradoxically, a high interest rate keeps housing prices low because we're all bidding as much as we can project to be able to pay. When I bought my house 37 yrs ago, the interest rate was almost 20% and I needed to put 25% down. For every interest point it dropped, the borrower could pay more for the house. Which gave a speculative value to existing homeowners so they could 'put their equity to work!' as adverts urged. When the job market fell, that was all that worked to keep them afloat.
In the US, 94% of dollars are generated through the mortgage, out of thin air. So we all work for the bankers. When they offer a variable rate, no one can compete by getting a fixed rate. So it goes as high as the variable rate can push it, and then they lose the house when they raise the rate.
Another aspect of fragmented specialties is the silo knowledge in education. Freshmen might have a few classes that put disciplines together but after that the fields get more and more narrow. There's nothing that connects the dots.
Robin is, of course, right up my alley! I love looking at the techniques of manipulation. I remember a meme that rolled a stage set of Covid out one side and rolled Ukraine in the other. And on this episode, I have a meme of Israel and the US making out, with a jilted Zelensky looking on: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/the-beginning-of-the-end-for-israel. And this was on Oct 15, 2023 so the switch happened fast.
Another great chat. What an eloquent and insightful chap Robin is. It was interesting to hear his views on the UN which made a lot of sense plus his view of what will happen next. Having first hand knowledge of the Club of Rome was also good. Well done Doc for finding these great guests

Maybe there is no podcast. But he has his own Wikipedia page and this site for his (and his wife's) artistic work: https://luminousarts.co.uk/

Is it just me or does this podcast come to a sudden end...?!
It does!!!! Argh substack didn't upload fully for some reason. I'm re uploading, sorry Gabi
All working now, thanks Doc :)
Another gr8 show.
Love the new camera angle Ahmad. Works really well 👍
Another really good listen.
Not sure I agree with everything he said, but I did with most of it.
But hey thats normal right

I talk about it in this episode: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/inflation-colonization and certainly in my book, where it's a key factor of my system change: https://www.amazon.com/How-Dismantle-Empire-2020-Vision/dp/1733347607.

Thanks again for an excellent convo!
