Everything Is A Rich Man's Trick

If you want to understand what’s really going on in the world, forget everything you learned at school and instead dig out some old recordings (you can still find them on YouTube, surprisingly) of William (‘Bill’) Cooper and Alan Watt.

Both men are dead now, most probably as a direct consequence of what they had to say which, in a nutshell, is this: the world is an illusion and though we think we are free we are actually trapped in an artificial reality, devised, funded and maintained by a ruthless predatory ‘elite’ of unimaginable wealth and unparalleled evil, who view us as no better than cattle, who take perverse pleasure in tormenting us, and whose goal is to destroy most of us so that the earth can once again enjoy its ‘ideal’ population balance of 500 million (which means more than 7 billion of us are surplus to requirements).

Most people don’t want to accept this because it sounds like one of those crazy conspiracy theories that they’ve been programmed to reject. But the world becomes so much more comprehensible when you do.

Suddenly, you’re equipped to answer big questions like: ‘What’s the real story behind Covid?’

And little ones like: ‘Why did they turn my road into a 20mph zone with loads of speed cameras, when none of us asked for this?’

And medium sized ones like: ‘Why do footballers get paid such stupid amounts of money?’

The answers will always comprise variations on the same theme. Because They hate you and want to make your life more constrained, more difficult, more expensive. Because They, not the elected politicians in their pockets, are the ones that really set the agenda. Because They want to beguile and distract you with Bread and Circuses. Because They are psychopaths who first want to humiliate and weaken you, then either enslave you or wipe you from the face of the earth.

But who are They? It’s fruitless trying to identify them because you wouldn’t have heard of most of them (the obvious baddies like, say, Bill Gates or Klaus Schwab are merely the public face of the shadowy figures in the inner circle). But they are the kind of people Paul was talking about in his Letter to the Ephesians, when he wrote about ‘spiritual wickedness in high places’ and ‘the rulers of the darkness of this world.’ These nameless supervillains, in other words, are merely the latest manifestations of an evil as old as the creation of the world. It is both their greatest strength and their greatest weakness.

It is their greatest strength because so many of their underlings find evil so appealing. In Christian tradition, the world is the realm of Satan - a testing ground in which we all get the choice (‘free will’) between the way of Jesus or the way of the devil. And the devil, besides having all the best tunes, also has all the best drugs and the best sex and the shiniest toys and the biggest job promotions, because if he didn’t have this battery of temptations at his disposal he wouldn’t be nearly so enticing, would he?

But it’s also their greatest weakness because evil only has power if you give it permission. For a more detailed explanation of why this is so you’d be better off asking a theologian. I know, though, that this is the case because our culture is full of clues: the notion, for example, that a vampire can only cross your threshold if you’ve invited him in; or the tradition that the devil can only take your soul if you form a contract or pact with him. It’s also something that has been confirmed by whistleblowing former insiders who, at great personal risk, have revealed some of the predator class’s secrets.

Among these secrets is that, depraved, cruel, slippery, sadistic and vile though these people are they nevertheless adhere to a code of conduct. This isn’t because deep down they are actually quite nice and want to behave honourably. Rather it is because they are bound by the traditions of their dark religion - Satanism, Luciferianism, high level freemasonry, illuminism - which is at least as preoccupied with dates and rituals and correct form as its arch enemy Christianity.

There are lots of people, I know, who feel uncomfortable with idea that what is going on in the world right now represents the final battle in a titanic struggle between good and evil. What I tend to explain them is: ‘Your choice. But even though you may not want to believe in the devil, the people who run the world most certainly do. So if you want to have a chance of beating your enemy, you put yourself at a disadvantage if you don’t understand how he operates.’

One of the rules that the bad guys follow, implausible though it may seem, is that before they do something truly wicked they are honour-bound to warn you first. Again, this isn’t because they are nice and want to help you. It’s because, karmically, they feel absolved of responsibility for the hideous things they have done: after all, they warned you and you didn’t listen, so you deserve everything that came to you because either you were too stupid to read the signs or too stubborn to respond.

An example of this is the entertainment industry - whose main function is to corrupt us and brainwash us in the guise of amusing us. But it also serves the purpose of slipping clues as to the fate that awaits us, be it in movies like Soylent Green or The Hunger Games series, in pop videos by the likes of Madonna and Lady Gaga, or in the form of special events like the opening ceremony for the 2012 London Olympics, replete with hints about the forthcoming biosecurity state, the abuse of children, and coronavirus ‘pandemic.’

There is no point trying to rationalise the behaviour or the thinking of the predator class because they are not like us and you will only end up tying yourself in knots of false logic. Or - worse - as many people do, you’ll say to yourself: ‘This conspiracy you describe can’t be real because no one would ever be that evil.’ Far better just to accept the fact: They are that evil - and part of the sadistic kick that They get is when well-meaning idiots try to persuade themselves otherwise because they’ve decided that denying the unpalatable truth is the ‘rational’ position.

The more excuses you make for Them the more it empowers them. Essentially, you are doing their work for them. Indeed, They couldn’t do any of the terrible things They do without the active participation of their victims. We are many; They are very few. All it would take to defeat them would be for sufficient numbers of us to wake up and call their bluff: ‘We’re mad as hell and we’re not going to take it any more.’ But we’re a long, long way off reaching any kind of critical mass.

This is why people who’ve gone down the rabbit hole sometimes get so angry and frustrated. You can hear it in Bill Cooper’s interviews: he’s risking his life to tell the world what he knows, to warn everyone before it’s too late, but all most people care about are the football scores, the Oscar winners, the latest fads…

Almost more damaging than the completely-asleep majority are the ones who are half awake but don’t want to go all the way for fear of straying too far beyond the bounds of social acceptability. Since I used - more or less - to be one of these people myself I suppose I mustn’t be too uncharitable. But it is bloody annoying, to say the least, when you’ve posted something on social media about thousands of cattle dying suddenly in Kansas and someone chips in to explain it away on the grounds that it was probably just heatstroke and there’s nothing to see here. Or you’re asking about all the strange, white cross-cross patterns in the sky and people sagely assure you that they are ‘contrails’ not ‘chemtrails’ because ‘chemtrails’ are a conspiracy theory - and to prove it here’s a picture they found on the internet of some World War II bombers trailing vapour…

Look, I don’t know enough about the Kansas mass cattle deaths nor about chemtrails to be absolutely sure what the deal is. But I’m sufficiently aware of the context - the ongoing sabotage of the global food production system; the long war of attrition waged against human health by the food industry, the Pharmaceutical industry etc - to know that you’d have to be a complete idiot to try to explain away these events as normal or to attribute good faith to those responsible unless you were absolutely, 100 percent sure that what is happening really is as innocuous as your wishful thinking desires it to be.

Sure it’s important to approach every claim with due scepticism and critical thinking. (It’s the widespread absence of both of these that has got us into the mess we’re in). But the danger is that we are enabling our dark overlords to get away with murder by making their excuses for them.

A classic example of this is the climate change disaster industry. It’s a lie; a complete scam. There is, quite literally, zero credible evidence that the planet is catastrophically warming due to industrial CO2 emissions. ‘Sustainability’ is just a fancy word for another power grab by the elites, designed to enrich the very few, impoverish the many, by replacing cheap, abundant energy with inefficient, intermittent, unaffordable expensive ‘renewables’. ‘Net zero’ is an assault on property rights (They have now arrogated the right to decide what kind of boilers we are allowed to use to heat our harms, what cars we are or mostly aren’t allowed to drive) and freedoms such as our ability to fly to nice places on holiday.

Any half-way sentient person who has looked into ‘Environmentalism’, as I did in my book Watermelons, knows that the whole edifice of lies depends on dodgy computer models, bought-and-paid-for experts, corrupt institutions and relentless propagandising by a mendacious media. Yet still, the vast majority of the supposedly brightest and best brains of our generation have more or less accepted that there is a problem. Though they might quibble about one or two of the details, pretty much everyone in the world who shapes the official narrative - CEOs, politicians, journalists, opinion-formers generally… - has accepted the fallacious propositions that ‘climate change’ is real, that ‘the Environment’ is burning issue, that ‘Sustainability’ in some form or another is the answer. All they disagree on is the question of degree.

Which means that everyone has now accepted the Big Lie as a given - and by doing so they have reified it, burnished it, endorsed it. This includes all the clever people whose expertise or prestige we have been assured makes them trustworthy. We have contracted out our thinking to these ‘experts’ and they have betrayed us because they are as much under the spell as anyone else.

The rulers of the darkness of this world despise us. They believe that we are inferior creatures who deserve everything we have coming to us because we are so lumpen and gullible and malleable. And is it any wonder they think this way when, every time they lie to us we not only fall for it but actually embed it by making their excuses for them?

Our Enemy does not need to destroy us. We’re doing the job perfectly well for him all by ourselves.

Nick Kraljevic

If you had to escape to another country which would it be? James runs through some of the options with Aussie cybersecurity guy and entrepreneur Nick Kraljevic. Nick - a Delingpod addict since Australia’s crazy lockdowns - talks about how to claim dual citizenship (handy if your family originates from somewhere like Croatia, as Nick’s does) and which countries are currently the most welcoming. His two top choices may come as a surprise. Nick is the founder of Societates Civis - www.soc-civ.com - which can help you make the move.

James's Big Birthday Bash - August 1st. Be There!

Because I love you all and want you to be happy, I’d like few things more than if you were ALL able to join me at my James Delingpole Birthday Bash on August 1st.

Unfortunately, numbers are strictly limited. So please don’t be one of those people - I’m the procrastinating type myself, so I know whereof I speak - who sends me a pleading message a few days before the event saying: “Can you squeeze me in?” Because tragically I might not be able to help.

Here’s why I think you’ll enjoy it. The main event is me doing a live Delingpod with Bob Moran and the conversation is going to be great. You know it is. Apart from my brother Dick - who’ll also be appearing, obvs. - there’s probably no one with whom I have a greater rapport than Bob. And, gosh, do we have a lot to talk about: chemtrails, death jabs, dinosaurs, Satanists, the New World Order etc. All the stuff, basically, that you can’t discuss with your Normie friends, but which here we’ll cover freely and frankly because, hey, you’ll be ...

Christianity 1 New Age 0

If you haven’t already - I’m a bit behind the curve here - I urge you to watch this car crash encounter between Christian apologist and scholar Wes Huff and ‘ancient civilisation’ researcher Billy Carson.

It’s an excruciating experience - probably best to watch it on double speed - for a couple of reasons. First, the hapless podcast host/debate moderator Mark Minard is somewhat out of his depth and is also clearly embarrassed at having one of his guests (Carson, sitting right next to him) eviscerated in front of him by his other guest. This causes him to interrupt the debate at intervals and expound well-meaningly but not very interestingly on his own half-baked views on the mysteries of the universe. You feel a bit sorry for him but you do rather wish he’d shut up.

Second, and mainly, it’s painful to watch Carson being outclassed and outgunned by someone who knows and understands his purported field of expertise so much better than he does. Carson was reportedly so upset by the encounter that he ...

I Wish I Weren't a Christian

No, not really, obviously. I’m just venting my frustration on how incredibly hard it is sometimes.

For example, if you read your scripture regularly you will notice that time and again Jesus enjoins us to forgive our enemies. This is emphasised in Matthew where He tells us that there’s only one prayer we really need and that’s the Lord’s Prayer.

In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus leaves us in no doubt that for followers of the way forgiveness is not an optional extra.

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us.

There’s an implicit contract here. If you want to be worthy of God’s forgiveness then you must do likewise.

I say the Lord’s Prayer every day, from the moment I wake till the moment I’m about to go to sleep - and lots of times in between.

The first parts are easy. What’s not to like about hallowing the Lord’s name and celebrating his eternal kingdom and being assured of all that daily bread He provides?

But the forgiving trespasses part can be a bit of a stumbling block because it seems so onerous - and unfair.

Surely if someone wrongs you, especially when unprovoked, the proper and proportionate response ought to be to smite them sevenfold? At the very least.

How can it not be right to retaliate when you’ve got right on your side?

How can it especially not be right when you happen to have been blessed by God with a mind that can produce the kind of next-level invective, weapons-grade cattiness and implacable, Daisy-cutter bomb logic that utterly obliterates anyone foolish enough to cross you?

Not only would the revenge be just - but fun too!

I’ve tried these arguments, over the years, on my morning walk with the dog, which is one of the occasions where I go through the Psalms and commune with God. But I can never quite get my point past the goalkeeper.

I’ll say stuff like: “C’mon, God. Give me a break. I’m not St Francis of Assisi. Can’t you just give me a bit of leeway, just this once, to satisfy my baser urges? I’ll be good afterwards, promise.”

Or: “But taking out wrong ‘uns in an amusing way is my brand. It’s how I make my living. You surely don’t want me to starve, do you?”

Resisting the temptation to deploy my powers is tough. It’s like being blessed with a huge penis only to discover “No sorry. The Lord has decided that your path is to become a monk. So I’m afraid that magnificent appendage is for peeing, only.

Why, God? Why?

The problem is that the Bible doesn’t really offer many get-out clauses. It’s not just the Lord’s Prayer that enjoins forgiveness. There’s that possibly even more annoying bit where Jesus tells us - say what? Really?? - that we should ‘Turn the other cheek.’

And then there are all the Psalms - which Jesus quoted more than almost any other book, so they must be on point - urging us to be patient and to let God take care of all the smiting.

https://www.jamesdelingpole.co.uk/Podcasts/Archive/show.php?slug=2025-08-13-psalm-37-pooyan-mehrshahi

For example, there’s Psalm 37:

Leave off from wrath; and let go displeasure. Fret not thyself else thou shalt be moved to do evil.

Time and again you find the psalmist - usually David - asking, in so many words, “How much longer am I going to put up with this injustice? It’s so unfair!”

And God’s reply is always: “Fret not. I’ve got this!”

In Psalm 73, another of my favourites, the psalmist gets so frustrated he wonders why there’s any point being good when behaving badly seems so much more profitable.

Yea, and I had almost said even as they. [ie the Ungodly] But lo, then I should have condemned the generation of thy children.

But then he goes into the sanctuary of God and learns the fate of the ungodly.

Namely how thou dost set them in the slippery places and castest them down and destroyest them.

O how suddenly do they consume, perish and come to a fearful end.

Yea, even like as a dream when one awaketh, so shalt thou make their image to vanish out of the city.

https://www.jamesdelingpole.co.uk/Podcasts/Archive/show.php?slug=2025-12-09-james-is-joined-by-preacher-stephen-white-to-unpack-the-beauty-and-depth-of-psalm-73

The language and imagery of the Psalms is so magnificent that I could spend all day reciting them. But if you’re reciting them merely for the great poetry then you’re surely guilty of the kind of vainglorious burbling Jesus warned us against in Matthew 6. You need to imbibe the meaning also - and accept that if Jesus took this stuff seriously then you probably should too.

Not, by the way, that I am remotely wasting any time fantasising about my enemies consuming, perishing and coming to a fearful end. On the contrary, I feel sorry for them because choosing the wrong path, away from God, is punishment in itself.

I prefer to take my example from one of the extraordinary monks featured in Archimandrite Tikhon’s Everyday Saints. [Unfortunately I can’t look up his name because I gave my copy to ortho bro Dick].

This monk was sent to the Gulag by the Soviets - but not before being cruelly tortured by a sadistic NKVD man who broke all his fingers. Many years later, the monk was reunited with his torturer, now so thoroughly ashamed he became an ardent Christian.

Please don’t think for a moment that I am comparing my feeble attempts at forbearance to that of this saintly monk. I’m sure I will fail to meet the exacting standards of saintliness on many, many occasions in the future, which will be my loss and your gain. After all, I’m sure my articles are SO much more fun when I’m putting the boot in rather than when I’m turning that other cheek.

James and Dick's Christmas Special - Don't Miss Out!

I was about to start writing Part Two of my piece Most Journalists Don’t Realise They Are Working For Satan, when a thought occurred: “Hang on, James. Shouldn’t you be plugging your show?”

It’s this Saturday, on the off chance you are interested. I quite understand if you’re not: you’re probably busy, this miserable weather doesn’t make you feel like venturing away from home, and anyway, it’ll just be me and Dick on a stage talking rubbish as usual.

You’re right. Dick and I sitting on a stage talking rubbish is indeed what you’re going to get this Saturday evening. As usual we won’t be at all prepared. Well, Dick might but I won’t because I’m lazyI like to keep it real.

The only thing I will have to do in advance is wrap Dick’s present which I got him from Russia. He’s going to really love it because it is about as Dick a present as you could possibly imagine and I want to watch his little eyes light up as he tears off the wrapping.

But to be fair, I do have roughly in my mind some of the few things I want to talk about. One of them is ‘Who Really Runs The World?’, which obviously for us batshit-crazy tinfoil hat loons is one of those ongoing conversations which keeps changing the more we learn. Another is ‘Was Churchill more evil than Hitler?’ We’ve talked about this stuff before but my take on these issues in 2025 is going to be subtly different from the ones you heard in 2024 or 2023, let alone in say 2019 when I was about 90 per cent Normie. (I’m allowing myself 10 per cent off because I did at least know back then that climate change was bollocks).

Will we play the “Yes/No” game? I doubt it because the answer always “No” these days. But you never know. Perhaps Dick might surprise me. Or perhaps he might introduce a wild card game he has invented for the occasion.

There will be no Christmas decorations. Sorry but it’s too early.

Nor, likely, will I wear my Christmas jumper. Too hot.

But we will do the Lords Prayer at the beginning - inter alia, to ward off any demons and because it makes everyone feel amazingly uplifted - and Jerusalem at the end.

Also, you get to see Unregistered Chickens, who just get better and better. Or so I’m told by one of the band members. Dick and Andy the lead singer keep making bitchy remarks about the fact that even when they’re playing at my events I never come to see them. Or only for a few minutes. I try to explain, honestly, that this isn’t because I’m too grand or because I think they’re crap but because before you do a show the very last thing you want to be doing is hanging out with the audience because it drains all the energy you need for the show.

Still I think the thing you’ll enjoy most about the event is hanging out with like minded folk. You’ll be able to put faces to the names of some of the fellow Awake people you know from online. And you’ll be able to talk about all the things - Michelle Obama’s big swinging lunchpack; hybrid creatures bioengineered in the same Antartica DUMB where they breed the children for adrenochrome, were the Thunderbirds puppets actually devised as a result of remote viewing technology which enabled Gerry Anderson to see into the future from the 1960s and watch Konstantin Kisin and the other one presenting Triggerpod? etc - that you will probably avoid bringing up with family round the Christmas dinner table.

It’ll be fun. You’ll really, really enjoy it.

It will be no skin off my nose if you don’t. But I just think if you don’t come you’ll be missing out.

All They Want Is Your Soul

One of my unlikely podcast guests this week is Nick Griffin.

I say ‘unlikely’ because I’m always slightly wary of people who have been involved in mainstream politics - even if, like Griffin, it was only at the margins.

https://locals.com/jamesdelingpole/feed?post=7481845

Griffin - or Nick, as I suppose I should call him, now he’s my new mate - used to be the leader of the notorious British National Party (BNP). Like the party from which it splintered, the National Front, the BNP was and is one of those outfits which the mainstream media likes to brand as ‘fascist’ and ‘far right’ and ‘basically a bunch of Nazis.’

This would be why, in my days as an MSM journalist, Nick never crossed my radar. He wasn’t the sort of character of whom you could say to your editor “How about we hear what that Nick Griffin has to say for himself?” It would be tantamount to career suicide because, imagine, what if you quite liked him or he said something people agreed with? Far better not to take the risk - and to ignore him - as all self-respecting media folk did.

Anyway, now that very belatedly I’ve had chat with him I’ve discovered that, yes, I do quite like him. And also that he says lots of things I agree with. Many of the people who’ve listened to the podcast share my pleasant surprise. Here’s a typical comment:

“I was brought up believing the BBC hype - NickG is equivalent to Satan […] Please do bring Nick back on. Even some of my ‘awake-ish’ friends still recoil in horror at the mention of his name. This exposure can right this wrong.”

My main reservation about inviting Nick onto the Delingpod wasn’t that he’d be too controversial but that he might be a bit too conventional in his outlook, a bit Normie.

But on this, too, I was pleasantly surprised. As an example of how interesting his conversation is - and perhaps as an incentive to encourage those of you who aren’t already paid subscribers to sign up for an early listen before the podcast goes out free - I want to share with you one of his best anecdotes.

It was prompted when I asked him about whether any attempts had ever been made by shadowy forces to buy him off.

Yes, Nick said. Attempts had been made on a couple of occasions, one of them when he was a member of the National Front.

Representatives of an ultra-orthodox Jew in New York called Rabbi Schiller offered the National Front a large sum of money, on one somewhat surprising condition, which I shall reveal in a moment.

In Italy, meanwhile, on another occasion, some of Nick’s ‘far-right’ fellow travellers were made a similarly generous offer by a wealthy Jewish outfit. Again, the money was dependent on the fulfilment of one surprising term.

Then, Griffin went on, there was the example of his friend in Northern Ireland, a social marketing genius who was offered a blank cheque by Jewish interests, but only on one condition.

Here’s the interesting part. Perhaps you thought - as I certainly did - that in all three instances the Jewish donors would have made the same request: talking more about the Holocaust, maybe; toning down the anti-Semitism; avoiding criticism of Israel; something like that.

But no. The things that were requested were all very different - and also quite unexpected.

In the case of the National Front, the request was that they should stop griping about the perils and iniquities of the banking system.

With the Italians, the request was that they cease to sing the praises of Corneliu Codreanu, a Romanian fascist leader - founder of the Iron Guard - assassinated in the 1930s.

And in the case of the Northern Irish marketing guru, it was that he should stop talking about the evils of abortion.

The three very different provisos only had one thing in common: each was very dear to the heart of the people to whom the money offer had been made. To the National Front, banking was the key plank of their economic argument. To the Italians, Codreanu was a beloved romantic hero and role model. To the Northern Irishman, crusading against abortion was a moral imperative.

“They offer you everything you need,” explained Griffin. “But in every case they are only prepared to give it to you on condition that you sacrifice the thing closest to your heart.”

Perhaps experts in the Kabbala, or the Babylonian Mystery Religions, or the occult generally can explain to me what is going on here. But clearly these offers have great ritual significance - and also go some way towards explaining the nature of a world whose temporary god, according to the scriptures, is Satan.

Yes, you will be granted whatever you want. But not until you’ve first sold your soul.
