If ever you’ve fallen victim to a conman’s trickery - as I have on several expensive occasions - one vital lesson you will have learned is the importance of never investing emotionally in the string of plausible lies you are told.
But while this is easy in theory it is very hard to observe in practice. Most of us are trustworthy, decent people who naturally assume good faith in others. This virtue - and it is a virtue, for who wants to live in a world where we treat everyone we meet as a potential deceiver? - makes us ripe for exploitation by the forces of darkness, especially by their leader the Prince of Lies.
That’s why the Bible enjoins us “Put not your trust in princes” and ‘It is better to trust in the Lord than to put any confidence in man.” Even if you’re not a Christian, you will I hope agree that the principle is sound. If I had to recommend the Bible to atheists it would be as an instruction manual on how to survive in a corrupted world where liars rule the roost.
Anyone who has gone down the rabbit hole - Christian or not - ought to be aware by now that the people who run the world do so mainly by deception. This is, after all, the very definition of ‘waking up’: suddenly realising that everything you have been told about key historical events from the Moon landings to 9/11, about major players like William Shakespeare and Winston Churchill, even about the great ‘discoveries’ we have come to call ‘basic science’ is a tissue of lies.
The next step in this learning process is to work out how They do it. It’s actually pretty simple. They control all the major sources of information - the schools, the universities, the publishing industry, entertainment, etc - to ensure that you are fed on a constant diet of bullshit.
I used to be a part of one of these bullshit industries myself. The worst of them all, actually: the mainstream media. Because of the compartmentalisation that applies in all secret operations, I had no idea at the time that the true purpose of my industry was to frighten, mislead and brainwash the populace through misinformation and disinformation. But now that I’m a bit wiser and better informed, I see the process much more clearly.
Take ‘the news’. Most people imagine - and not just those outside the industry but those who work in it - that when a big story breaks on the front pages of all the newspapers it is a real event which has been selected for coverage because of its importance. In truth though, few people have any idea whether a story is real or not - and that includes the journalists covering it.
That’s because in its earliest stages, the story will have been taken ‘off the wires.’ That is, invariably, one of the big media agencies - Reuters, Associated Press, Agence France-Press - will have provided the raw details, which are then rewritten and lightly embellished by individual newspapers and TV news channels. In other words, most news reports are glorified press releases.
If you work as a reporter of the newspapers covering one of these stories, the incentive for verifying the facts is zero. The narrative has already been agreed on - and is being diligently relayed by all your rivals. Imagine trying to approach your editor as, say, a heartrending story is breaking about a bombing at the Boston marathon. What he wants is tales of heroism, personal tragedy and background information on the evil Muslim terrorists responsible. The last thing he needs to hear is some maverick pillock wasting his time with crazy speculation that the whole episode might have been faked.
This is why, even when thousands of well-motivated and sincere reporters all around the world cover the same story they always end up reaching the same conclusions. The lone maverick reporter prepared to jeopardise his career in pursuit of the unpalatable truth may be a staple of the movies - and there’s a reason for that, the movies, of course being another important part of the lie machine - but you rarely find him in real life. Journalists are career-safe pack animals. There is no mileage in being different. It just stops you getting published and ends up getting you sacked.
Just about the only reporters who break this rule are those who can afford - or who can’t afford, but value principles more highly than money - to work outside the mainstream media. A good example is Richard D Hall, the British investigator currently being vilified in some quarters for having dared question the official story about the Manchester Arena tragedy in 2017, when 22 innocents were supposedly murdered by an Islamist suicide bomber at an Ariana Grande concert.
Hall, as even his worst critics would have to admit, is not afraid to risk courting unpopularity. Among the subjects of his previous investigations are Madeleine McCann (probably the world’s most famous missing child) and Jo Cox (certainly this century’s most famous martyred British member of parliament, cruelly murdered in the streets - at least according to all the highly emotive newspaper reports which threatened to derail Brexit - by a deranged lone gunman). By daring to ask tricky questions about such examplars of tragic victimhood, Hall has earned himself the MSM soubriquets ‘disaster denier’ and ‘troll.’
In order for these charges to carry any weight, though, you would first need to demonstrate that all mainstream media accounts of terrorist incidents and other major news events were so accurate as to be beyond questioning. I doubt even regular consumers of the mainstream media would claim that this is the case. As for those who are Awake, they certainly wouldn’t - or at least oughtn’t - for reasons I’ve given above but which I’ll repeat here for the benefit of the slow at the back. To be Awake is, by definition, to realise that all ‘official’ sources, especially the mainstream media, lie to you relentlessly about almost everything.
I only inserted that ‘almost’ in order to cover myself, just in the unlikely event that someone, somewhere, can produce a convincing example of an occasion when the media actually told us the unvarnished truth about something. But such instances, if they exist, are rare as hen’s teeth. When I glance, disgustedly, at my wife’s copy of The Daily Telegraph, for example, I can parse every article and tell you exactly what its underlying purpose is, where it is withholding the truth, and where it is twisting the facts, in order to keep its readership misinformed. The people responsible may not always realise that they are scum. Scum, though, is most definitely what they produce on a daily basis. Just like all the other newspapers and TV channels, which are all the bloody same when it comes down to it, because they all owned by the same Predator Class.
Given that all this is so, I find myself somewhat surprised to be having to defend myself against the charge that I have been ‘misled’ by Hall. And that, in turn, when I had him on my podcast I was misleading my viewers. My viewers are more than capable of deciding for themselves what they think of Hall’s research. Personally I find it very persuasive. Though no one - except maybe those who planned the operation - could tell you exactly what happened in Manchester Arena that night, I’m pretty sure of one thing: it was nothing like the version of events we were presented with in the mainstream media.
When I wrote “except maybe those who planned the operation” I didn’t just do it to win snark points. (Though obviously, that was a massive bonus). I said it also to address one of the more fatuous objections I often see raised whenever the issue of false flag/staged terrorist incidents comes up. It goes along the lines of “I wasn’t convinced by every last detail of his argument.”
There’s invariably someone who makes this complaint after I’ve done another of my podcasts with Ole Dammegard, who specialises in revealing the truth behind such terror events as the assassination of JFK, the murder of Olaf Palme, and the 2011 massacre on Utøya island in Norway. “Rambling and speculative,” said one, after our latest, about the faked assassination of Donald Trump. https://open.substack.com/pub/delingpole/p/ole-dammegard-512? But he was completely missing the point.
The point is this: the people who plan and execute false flag/staged operations are masters of deception with unlimited resources and budgets at their disposal. One of the key areas on which they spend these unlimited budgets is the cover up operation. This can include: faked death certificates; the paying off and disappearance of ‘victims’ to new locations; rigged public inquiries; the abuse of legal process to intimidate investigators; disinformation and misinformation from the compliant press; TV specials reinforcing the official narrative; etc. Should we really be surprised that against so powerful, corrupt and mendacious an Establishment system, independent researchers find it difficult to establish, down to the finest detail, exactly how this or that operation was executed?
Much of the ire currently being directed against Hall derives from his inability to tell us exactly what happened to the 22 people allegedly killed in the Manchester Arena bombing, such as the youngest victim, eight-year old Saffie Rose Roussos. In the immediate aftermath of the bombing, much play was made in the media of “little Saffie’s” death, with prominent photos of her ‘simply beautiful’ face, and tributes such as the one from her headteacher, who said “she was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be remembered fondly.”
I don’t think anyone could have looked at those photos or read those comments at the time without feeling at once moved and angry. But then, the same could be said for all those stories we read after the October 7th attacks in Israel about how 40 babies had been beheaded by the savage killers from Hamas. The more accurate figure for beheaded babies, we learned later, was zero. By that stage, though, the facts were irrelevant: the pliant public had already been whipped into the appropriate state of vengeful frenzy, so, propaganda job done.
Whenever you call into question the reported deaths of children, some people get very upset because they think you are dishonouring the dead - and the pitifully young and innocent dead, at that. I’ve written about this in two earlier essays which you might enjoy - Will No One Think of the (Probably) Fake Children?
https://open.substack.com/pub/delingpole/p/will-no-one-think-of-the-probably? and Israel and Palestine: This Time It Really Isn’t Different
The people who plan these psyops know from long experience that the best way to get the public to buy into their propaganda lies is to bypass the rational part of the brain and appeal directly to the emotions.
Sometimes, often in fact, they do it with dead children, which tend to work a treat. (Remember little Aylan Kurdi, the dead boy washed up on the beach, whose image dominated newspapers for weeks?). Sometimes, they play on more subtle emotions, like, in the case of the first Trump assassination attempt, the notion that quite a few God-fearing Trump followers have that he is on a holy mission to save the world.
Even quite a few of his Awake followers fell for it. Diehard sceptics who normally don’t believe a word they see in the newspapers and who know TV news is a joke were suddenly brandishing the ‘facts’ they’d got from both - the shooter on the roof; the hero firefighter caught in the crossfire, the miraculously slight wound - as unimpeachable truths.
It apparently never occurred to these instant, passionate, it-was-definitely-an-assassination-attempt experts to ask basic questions like: how come this particular rally in the middle of nowhere was flooded with reporters, including one from the BBC, when normally the MSM wouldn’t have touched an obscure, regional non-event like this with a bargepole?
“OK so they lied to us about ‘Covid’, global warming, the Titanic, 9/11, the Beatles, vaccine safety, Ukraine, Evolution, the causes and treatment of cancer, October 6, January 7, 7/7, the Bolshevik revolution, the Moon landings, Winston Churchill, sun cream, JFK, viruses, Princess Di, seed oils, Charles Darwin, Spanish flu, cholesterol, the early history of Britain, AIDs, the translations of the Bible, the Crusades, the Federal Reserve, the Lusitania, Marie Curie, Hollywood, Mother Teresa, the Summer of Love, the Vietnam war, the Boston marathon and a few other things. But I’m still going to trust them on… [insert story here which accords with my prejudices]”
It doesn’t really work, does it?
I think given the media’s track record, the time has long since passed when we should give them the benefit of the doubt on any story they run. If they want us to believe their nonsense, then the burden of proof should lie with them, not with the investigators calling their bluff…

Highly recommend this book. It explains the blood of Jesus throughout the whole entire Bible. https://a.co/d/du2YPzV
Global warming is a gigantic conspiracy. Yes, well, dur, obviously we’ve known that for years. I wrote about this myself more than a decade ago in my book Watermelons, which poured scorn on the pitifully scant evidence supportive of the utterly dishonest thesis that global warming is a) man-made b) unprecedented or c) any kind of threat we should take seriously.
What I hadn’t quite appreciated when I wrote the book, though, was the vital role played by the family that did more than anyone to invent, promote, and finance the global warming mega scam: the Rockefellers.
For this discovery, I am indebted to Jacob Nordangård, a Swedish academic (and part time heavy metal vocalist), who first rumbled the Rockefellers when he was still an ardent greenie and doing a research paper on Peak Oil theory. You can hear him tell the story of how he saw the light, and talk about much else besides, on my latest podcast.
Anyway, the Rockefellers. They weren’t even mentioned by name in the first few editions ...
Sooner or later on your journey down the rabbit hole you’re quite likely to end up finding the Pale beyond which you will not go: the ‘conspiracy theory’ so utterly absurd, so fantastically implausible that you refuse to entertain it even for one second.
For some it’s Flat Earth, for others it’s the outrageous notion that those four, lovable and super-talented mop tops from Liverpool were manufactured - just like the Rolling Stones - by a sinister institute called Tavistock. And for others, I was surprised to learn from the outrage on my Telegram channel recently, it’s the theory that drinking your own urine might have health benefits.
But for many more, I suspect, it will be Elite Gender Inversion. This is the theory that more than a few of the famous people whom you think of as women are in fact blokes. And vice versa.
I spent a whole afternoon exploring this rabbit hole once and you end up in some pretty strange places. One site I visited even went half way to persuading me that Jimmy Page and even more so ...
Here is a comment from an earlier piece I wrote expressing scepticism about a widely reported story concerning the alleged slaughter of young Taylor Swift fans in Southport, supposedly by a 17 year old man of Rwandan heritage.
“Whatever fake thing they have cooked up in Southport”….sorry James that is a sick and disgusting comment right now…you have lost a fan
I have no idea whether this fan ‘David’ is who he claims to be. At times like this, any articles questioning the official narrative tend to get swamped with intelligence service bots sowing doubt and division. But let’s give him the benefit of the doubt, assume he is real, and allay his concerns.
David: you really aren’t the only person out there who finds the murder of innocents, children especially, abhorrent, upsetting and senseless. Everybody else does too. Everyone, that is, who is not a psychopath. You are not special. You are not privy to a peculiar degree of empathy and insight in which others, less sensitive, are cruelly deficient. You are just responding in the way that John Donne described when he wrote:
Any man’s death diminisheth me because I am involved with mankind.
The last time I quoted that oft-cited line was at the time of the alleged October 7th massacre in Gaza. [https://delingpole.substack.com/p/israel-and-palestine-this-time-it?utm_source=publication-search]
On that occasion, the story dominating the headlines concerned the murder of dozens of dead babies who - we were told - had had their throats cut by brutal Hamas terrorists.
The story, it subsequently emerged, was a total fabrication - likely by Israel’s next-level propaganda departments keen to whip the world’s media into the desired state of frenzied outrage.
As the Israel newspaper Haaretz - https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-12-05/ty-article-magazine/deepfakes-from-the-gaza-war-increase-fears-about-ais-power-to-mislead/0000018c-3a07-dc03-a9ec-3e7fadf10000 - reported on the use of fake images and videos (by both sides, it claimed) to manipulate people’s emotions:
“The more abhorrent the image, the more likely a user is to remember it and to share it, unwittingly spreading the disinformation further.
‘People are being told right now: look at this picture of a baby’, Ahmed said. ‘The disinformation is designed to make you engage with it.’
I’m sure all the Davids out there - real ones, not just tragically small penised intelligence operatives, too-thick-even-for-cannon-fodder working for 77th Brigade - would have got jolly upset had you tried to explain at the time that they were being played and had fallen for one of the oldest tricks in the book.
But they were and they did. I don’t expect any contrition or self-awareness from these dupes any time soon. After all, they’ll be far too busy getting worked up about the (likely) fake victims of the next big psyop.
As usual - is the girl ever wrong? - the wonderful Miriaf is with me on this. https://open.substack.com/pub/miri/p/the-whole-of-the-moon?r=8sxau&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
The first thing we have to acknowledge is that none of us really know for sure what happened. I don't and you don't, but if the event has provoked a strong emotional response in you, then you're even less likely to be able to assess it impartially and accurately.
"What do you mean impartially, you monster! Don't you know that children have just died?!"
No, I don't know that, actually, and nor do you. We only know the media has told us they have.
Did they really die?
Of course it's entirely possible and plausible that they did. Devastatingly, children die every day, and sometimes in horrific, brutal circumstances. This is - obviously - always an unspeakable tragedy for them and their loved ones.
The stark truth is, however, that every time a child meets a violent death - and children who are murdered are most often killed by parents or step-parents - the whole nation isn't up in arms about it.
That's because we don't generally know about it, and we don't generally know about it, because the media doesn't generally tell us, and when it does, it's usually a few short paragraphs on the back pages, not sensationalist front page news everywhere.
Miri’s piece applies, of course, not just to Southport but also to Gaza, the Manchester Arena ‘bombing’ [Do read Iain Davis’s superb coverage of the showtrial of Richard D Hall, the researcher who was all over that nonsense
and indeed to every other incident heavily promoted in the mainstream media in which innocent people (especially if they are children) are murdered or maimed.
Really it should be printed out on a card so that we can carry around in our pockets ready to flash in the face of anyone who looks across at us piteously from their newspaper or TV screen and tries to engage us in the emotional psychodrama of the latest, murdered babies du jour fabrication.
I say ‘fabrication.’ Obviously, as Miriaf - who is much more sensible than me - correctly points out, we cannot be sure in any given instance whether on this occasion real people were killed or not. What we can and should do, though, every time another of these incidents grabs the headlines (and there’s your first clue by the way) is too look out for the ‘tells’.
Among the obvious tells in this Southport story are: the invocation of Taylor Swift (he’s a wrong ‘un, for sure); the bizarre Rwandan connection (ties in with Normies’ idea about where all those machete-wielding immigrants should properly be sent); the deeply unconvincing interviews given by the supposed witnesses and relatives; the suspiciously quickly set up GoFundMe operations (which, as Miriaf correctly observes, are how participants in these alleged psyops are generally rewarded for their duplicity); and the way the event was successfully used by various dubious media players and influencers to persuade a bunch of idiots to attack a mosque (why?), and then, after that, to enable Cabal Manchurian Candidate Keir Starmer to prepare the ground for the closure of ‘far-right’ channels like Telegram.
And lots of you fell for it. Including the woman on my Telegram channel who protested “But they’ve named the children.”
Yes, they always name the children. Remember little Saffie Rose Roussos [note the three names] from the Manchester Arena bombing?
I think Christians getting upset about things like the Last Supper parody is just part of the fake news distraction in the same way Tommy Robinson is or whatever fake thing they’ve cooked up in Southport.
I’m not saying Christians aren’t right to be upset. But what it does is normalise and neutralise the bigger issue by allowing it to be portrayed in the MSM as a kind of “Christians get upset about the kind of thing that Christians would get upset about” story.
The bigger issue, very simply, is the entire Olympics opening ceremony was a Satanic occult ritual. Right there, in your face. As blatant and shameless as the St Gotthard tunnel ceremony. And They don’t even care that we can see it.
