Who do you trust more? X or EU? Probably X because anyone can say what they want on X, right?
Welcome back to Squatbox this morning. Is this show called Squatbox? Is that what he said?
Welcome to Squatbox. Squat over this. I ---- it out into your mouths. Just eat it. Just eat my
squats. Oh, Squatbox. Welcome to Squatbox. Oh, God. Oh, it's coming. Oh, no. I've lost control
of it. Elon Musk calling for the European Union to be abolished. This after the bloc finds a
social media company X, $140 million. That followed Friday's decision by the European Commission.
Welcome, **** pig. Why are these new shows called Squatbox? **** pig. Welcome to ---- mouth.
To hit X with the fine after a two-year investigation into the company under the
EU's Digital Services Act. Now, last week, the European Commission had said that infractions
by X, which included what it called the deceptive design of X's blue checkmark for verification.
Look, whether you like Elon Musk or not, I can tell you that how this process would have worked is
something along these lines. Shit. We're not in control of X. We need to find a way to control X.
OK, well, what can we possibly say is distinctly and uniquely wrong with X that wouldn't apply
to Facebook or Instagram or YouTube or more favorable social media sites that we already
have the leverage over and control that we require? The tics aren't good. Yeah, start there.
A lack of advertising transparency, and they say the failure to provide access to public data for
researchers. Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling the fine an attack by foreign governments
on all American tech platforms. So we'll see whether there is backlash from the US government
about that. Well, I sincerely hope so. Our message was clear. We have the rules
which has to which have to be complied with. See, that's the tone that you need to be scared of.
That's the tone. Don't be frightened so much of bombast, hyperbole or even excessively enthusiastic
people like me, for example. No, you need to be frightened of people like that. I'm sorry,
it's just the rules. These are the people that will march you merrily into the internment camps,
concentration camps and death chambers. These are the people that will demand you put it's
only the size of a grain of rice just underneath your skin. It's only one of your children.
It's only sexual slavery. These are the people that will justify and rationalise anything.
Listen carefully to the tone. And otherwise there will be sanctions.
An EU commissioner for values and transparency. Why do you need one?
I think that the confidence has been weakened and I had quite a high level of confidence when it
comes to Twitter. I have to say that we worked with knowledgeable people. I bet you did. I bet
you did. We remember that when people got inside Twitter via mask journalists like Matt, you know,
they revealed the debts that deep state departments within the United States have
been involved with managing and censoring information. And presumably that wasn't
unique to the USA. As the European Union moves to find x 120 million euros, which isn't real money
under the guise of transparency. Is Elon Musk correct in suggesting that the EU should be
dismantled and do familiar foes such as Hillary Clinton link the censorship industrial complex
on either side of the Atlantic. Clinton and the EU. There's something for everyone.
Can we involve the Jews? They'll find a way. Hey, the European Commission's decision to find x 120
million euros is officially a matter of transparency. At least that's the claim.
Yet the deeper one looks, the harder it becomes to ignore that this is less about consumer
protection and more about disciplining a platform that refuses to fit into Europe's preferred
structure of public communication. The commission insists that none of this involves censorship.
But when regulations target visibility, verification, access to data and government
aligned researchers, the line between transparency and speech control begins to blur. The Digital
Services Act is built around a model in which regulators and government affiliated groups
determine which information poses a systemic risk. They then pressure platforms to treat
the material as dangerous. In practice, it creates a hierarchy of voices. Under the older Twitter
model, verification was a selective privilege often granted through opaque internal decisions
or expensive advertising commitments. Elon Musk's decision to make verification accessible to anyone
disrupted that hierarchy. The commission now describes this shift as deceptive. But the truth
is that it undermined the old media and political order that relied on verification as a badge of
institutional authority. Indeed, sigils, signs and emblems of power are precisely what's under
threat right now. Does anyone believe in the BBC anymore? Does anyone trust the Conservative Party
or the Labour Party or even the Republican Party or the Democrat Party? Do you trust these brands
anymore? Hey, there's only one brand you can trust, baby, and you're listening to him right now. And
why can you trust me? Because I recognise my own brokenness. I recognise that I'm nothing if not
a conduit for the higher truth of Christ Jesus, that you can get that more directly from the Bible
and you'll ultimately receive it within yourself and you don't need anybody else. But you do need
everybody else in order to receive it. That's why you can trust me, because I'm explicitly telling
you I'm flawed and broken. What they're telling you is that they're reliable. And when they can't
persuade you that they're reliable, they will control you. And when they can't control you
anymore through direct violence, they'll control you through an environment of continual crisis
so that violence seems favourable and you're in such a fierce state induced by overstimulation
that you can't think straight no more. Check out this beautiful experiment. There was an
experiment where two groups of dogs were held in electrified cages. Let's call them Group A
and Group B, both with five or six dogs in them. Group A had access to a lever that meant they
could turn off the electrical current that was running through the floor of their cage.
Group B did not have access to a lever. In the end, Group B just lied down and took the shocks
and stimulation. The next phase of the experiment, always trust the science, follow the science, is
both sets of dogs were placed into Cage C. They were subject to electric shocks in that cage,
all of the dogs. Now, here was the difference. The cage in the second experiment was only a foot and
a half high and if the dogs wanted to, they could jump out. They could get out of the cage if they
wanted to. Group A, that in the previous cage had access to a lever, all got up and jumped out.
Group B, that never had access to a lever, all just laid down and accepted it. Remember that
ultimately all of the information you receive is understood ultimately by you as an electromagnetic
signal neurologically. Even this voice now, which is vibration coming in through your ears or the
light information that you're receiving through your eyes, is being received electromagnetically
neurologically. We are all in a cage where we're being, if not shocked, stimulated. Occasionally
you are shocked but mostly you're in a state of continual stimulation. Add to that that you're
eating bad food, you're receiving deceptive information, you're being lied to and controlled
continually. The puppy analogy rings terrifyingly true. Some of us have been given access to levers
in the past so we know there's a way out. Other people don't believe there's a way out so they're
lying down and taking it. What I'm telling you, all of you, whether you're in group A or group B,
whether you believe it's possible to transcend, to escape, to reach the kingdom, or if you think
there's no point, there ain't no point, I might as well just lay down and take the thousand shocks that
flesh is heir to, to quote Shakespeare. The truth is that freedom is possible but in order to do that
you have to first survive, then escape, then control, then submit. Those are the rules of
life. But that's just what I think. Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
You live in a state of continual stimulation, a system that controls the electromagnetic impulses
within your body. Your body is a field, not an object. You're not a blob. Your material body
is held in a field. How else could it be? How is it that cells know whether they're dental or oral?
How is it they know whether they're skeletal or cardiovascular? The cells in your body are guided
by a field. All of the information within the cells is activated by an ulterior, evident, present,
but less easy to observe, set of information that's part of a greater whole. Hey, complicated
stuff, but what do you want to do? Just sit around masturbating? You can do that also. It's not an
either-or situation. It must be 2025 because I can say this. Ivermectin is good for you. Remember
when saying that would get you shot, hung, killed, and eaten by, I don't know, CNN. Maybe it would be
Brian Stelzer would eat you. Oh my God, you can't say that about Ivermectin. Well, the wellness
company, they've been there at the forefront from the get-go. You can trust them. And they are,
I'm going to use the word, peddling Ivermectin, baby. What if the censored media that saved
millions during the pandemic was being made mostly in China today? It's true. About 80%
of the world's Ivermectin supply comes from Asia. Introducing American-made Ivermectin.
Trusted, tested, produced locally in Florida. That's Gator Ivermectin. That's Ivermectin you
can rely on. That's Ivermectin in stars and stripes. That's Ivermectin that ain't going to
let you down. That's Rocky Ivermectin. That's Ivermectin that you can trust and put your faith
in. It's a firearm. It's a bullet. It's a mag packed with Ivermectin. Here from the US estates,
baby. Ivermectin has been prescribed globally for more than 30 years and even earned the Nobel
Prize in Medicine for its proven ability to eliminate parasites. But after success treating
COVID, emerging research shows that that wonder drug can help with everything. Rosacea, arthritis,
and even, wait for it, drum roll, please. Cancer, king of illnesses. Most pharmacies
charge $5 a tablet for 12 milligrams or less, but the wellness company is offering
higher 18 milligram doses for just $3.50 per tablet. You'll get a six month supply of 84
tablets at an unbeatable price. Get your US made Ivermectin today. So go to twc.health forward slash
brand. Use the code brand and they'll know that you bought it because of our ad. And then they're
like, well, let's buy more ads off them guys. They're good guys. Be good for us. Ka-ching,
ka-ching. And then we'll buy Ivermectin from the Chinese and we'll undercut them. Okay. So you get
10% off also. If you save $30 and you get free shipping, if you use our thing. Okay. So go to
twc.health forward slash brand. God bless you and God bless America and God bless American Ivermectin.
Not that filthy and reliable Chinese Ivermectin. The rhetoric of transparency also masks how the
DSA empowers government selected researchers to access platform data for monitoring speech trends.
Many of these groups have previously collaborated with NGOs and law enforcement to flag political
content for moderation. This kind of stuff was happening to us all the time during the pandemic.
The commission frames this as neutral oversight. There's no such thing as neutral.
Musk frames it as feeding a censorship machine. In either case, once governments decide who
qualifies as a researcher on which post-war investigation, censorship no longer needs to
be explicit. It settles in quietly through data access requirements, compliance expectations,
and the constant threat of fines. They are geniuses. It's no coincidence that the great
Christian theologian C.S. Lewis, when depicting demonism, depicts them as within a bureaucracy.
You can't be evil if you tell people you're being evil. You have to tell them you're helping them.
This is happening at the same time that European political leaders are pursuing more overt forms
of speech regulation. Emmanuel Macron has called for a system that would create an officially
certified class of media outlets. The French state would effectively define which journalists
and which do not. I wonder if he's willing to do that with vaginas.
In Germany, Friedrich Merz has filed hundreds of criminal complaints over online insults. Some
cases have even led to home searches and phone seizures. Germany already enforces some of the
strictest online speech laws in Europe, and the idea that calling a politician a fool might trigger
criminal procedure reveals how low the threshold for state involvement has become. That's clear.
Is it a crime to insult somebody in public? Yes, it is. And it's a crime to insult them
online as well? Yes. The fine could be even higher if you insult someone in the internet.
Why? Because in internet it stays there. If we are talking here face to face, you insult me,
I insult you, okay, finish. But if you're in the internet, if I insult you or a politician.
That sticks around forever. Yeah.
What is this, Victoria Britton? You, sir, are a rapscallion.
All right, would you mind coming with me, please? I'm going to have to take you
to further processing. Well, no, sir, you're a cat, a bounder, a mountabunk.
Across the old Atlantic, here in the US of states land, familiar voices are cheering Europe on.
Guess who? Hillary Clinton has praised the Digital Services Act as a necessary tool for
confronting what she describes as disinformation and extremism. She's argued that platforms should
be more accountable for the content they allow and has expressed concern over how
young people are forming views on issues such as Israel and Palestine.
More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media. So just
pause on that for a second. They are seeing short form videos, some of them totally made up,
some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that's where they get
their information. Her comments align closely with the broader censorship model that's developed in
the United States and our country, ARC, oh no, the UK, where government agencies, academic
institutions and large NGOs operate as a kind of distributed authority over digital discourse.
Free speech isn't a free fall in Europe. There are two anti-free speech movements that have coalesced.
One is in Europe, where it has laid waste to free speech. Germany, France, England,
free speech has been eviscerated. And also places like Canada. The US anti-free speech
movement began in higher education, then metastasized throughout the government. But
this has all reached our shores now. The Berlin World Forum followed the remarks of Vice President
Vance on free speech, and the EU was red hot. They gathered in Berlin, and it was the most
anti-free speech gathering I've ever been part of. There's only two of us from the free speech
community. And they are committed, and Hillary Clinton was there, and she really fueled the
anger. I mean, she, when Twitter was purchased by Elon Musk, she called on the EU to use the
infamous Digital Services Act, which is one of the most anti-free speech pieces of legislation
in decades. And she called upon the EU to use the DSA to force the censorship of American citizens,
force people like Musk to censor. It's an extraordinary act by someone who was once a
in the United States. Taken together, these developments evoke historical echoes that are
very difficult to ignore. During the McCarthy era, the United States government justified
sweeping investigations and loyalist tests by invoking the need to root out subversion.
Senator Joe McCarthy's 1954 hearings targeted individuals for their associations, views,
or insufficient enthusiasm for official narratives. There was no formal ban on dissenting
speech, yet the pressure exerted by the state and cooperating institutions chilled public
expression. Careers ended, publications avoided sensitive topics, and people learned that the
safest approach was silence. We are their children. We are in the cage. These subtle electric currents
continually stimulating us into compliance. Unless you know there's a lever, baby.
He just wanted people to like him. It's a documentary about me.
He would make you feel as if you were the only person that was important.
It's an interesting thing. In some ways, he was quite a charming guy.
Any man who protects communists is not fit to wear that uniform, General.
It's funny because he's really into it, but he's sort of looking down like,
he's not fit to wear that uniform, General.
This was a time when Americans were really worried about their standing against Russia.
Are you now under the direction of the communist party?
He realized he had a thing going. He found his shtick at last.
McCarthy said, well, the way I read our rules, I can investigate anything.
The fight will continue, regardless of how rough the opposition gets and rough it will be.
But they never proved anything. They just made lots of allegations.
He shouldn't be fighting communism. He should focus on fighting male pattern baldness,
cultivating that weird horn in the center of his forehead,
trying to cover a motor shooter's sins without any.
I will tell you that I will root out baldness. I will use this little strand of
inexplicable forehead hair to cover my whole brow.
And newspapers kept reporting McCarthy's allegations.
He tells a lie, and by the time you've responded to that, he's told three others.
But it's all papers.
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
Do not confuse me with a bald person.
I've got my unicorn wig growing straight from there, covering my whole head.
The line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one.
And the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.
McCarthy did not retreat. He did not apologize.
Whenever he was hit, he hit back even harder.
It was dramatic television, real life television.
You have this figure at the center of American politics who is reckless,
who is destroying lives, who is creating polarization.
They're saying that he's Trump. That's what this documentary is trying to do.
They're trying to say it's Trump, aren't they?
That's what they're doing.
Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?
Have you left no sense of decency?
Jack Six, of course they're trying to say it's Trump.
Notice how contemporary media elects which subjects you apply discernment to.
McCarthyism.
Be discerning now, 50 years later, now that it's irrelevant.
Trump.
Be discerning because he happens to be in opposition to some of our cultural interests.
Covid.
No, actually here we want fear and power to align.
You do as you're told. Trust the narrative. Reds under the bed.
Ah, you could give it to your grandma.
What, communism?
Yeah, I don't know either.
Earlier, the senator asked, upon what meat does this our Caesar feed?
Had he looked three lines earlier in Shakespeare's Caesar,
he would have found this line, which is not altogether inappropriate.
Because that's what I did.
I looked three lines earlier to see if I could **** him up.
And I did. And here it is.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
No one familiar with the history of his country
can deny that congressional committees are useful.
And people look up in them days.

You filthy goddamn communists.
I barely dare look at you.
It is necessary to investigate before legislating.
No one knows what they're supposed to be doing.
The medium's too new.
Hello.
As far as I...
Hello.
Is that you, son?
Is this my friends?
Hi, thanks for watching.
What, you saw my titty then?
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
It's Satan.
It's the devil's lantern, I tell you.
But the line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one.
You better believe it, baby.
And the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.
His primary achievement has been in confusing the public mind
as between the internal and the external threats of communism.
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
We must remember always that...
Hey, I like this dude.
Accusation is not proof.
Say it again.
Accusation is not proof.
Got it.
Accusation is not proof.
And that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.
Yeah, Edward R. Murrow.
We need to look down the barrel a bit more.
And we've got a future in this industry.
We will not walk in fear one of another.
We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason
if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine.
I've got this magnificent new machine, the teleprompter,
where you can appear to be looking down the lens,
but actually reading the whole time.
Well, that'll never take off.
And remember that we are not descended from fearful men.
Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate.
The fact that the news was quoted in Shakespeare, that's some good stuff.
That's what we need.
We need a little bit of classical high value.
I believe it was Milton that said,
Paradise lost, but also want to have a bit of fun as well.
Oh, yeah, baby.
There's a target on my chest, honey.
And to defend the causes that were for the moment unpopular.
This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent
or for those who approve.
We can deny our heritage and our history,
but we cannot escape responsibility for the result.
There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities.
As a nation, we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age.
We proclaim ourselves as indeed we are the defenders of freedom.
Brilliant, actually, isn't it?
Wherever it continues to exist in the world.
But we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
The actions of the junior senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay
amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies.
And whose fault is that?
Not really his.
He didn't create this situation of fear.
He merely exploited it.
And rather successfully.
God, that's a sophisticated analysis.
It's not actually even his fault, really.
What kind of systems are these that generate the necessity, requirement,
and even possibility for such malfeasance?
Cassius was right.
It's the whole thing's built around political betrayals in Shakespeare's Caesar.
It's amazing.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
Good night and good luck.
The Red Scare was a reminder that censorship does not always come in the form of book burnings
or explicit bans.
It can arrive wrapped in the language of safety, responsibility, and public integrity.
It can present itself as a polite request for cooperation.
It often relies on a network of aligned actors who enforce norms on behalf of the state,
allowing governments to claim they're not directly restricting speech.
The pattern maps uncomfortably well onto the system emerging in Europe
and the transatlantic network that supports it.
The commission insists that its finding is not about content.
But regulations that determine who gets verified, who gets data,
which researchers qualify for privileged status,
and how visibility is algorithmically shaped,
are entirely about content in practical and actual terms.
They define which voices rise and which sink.
They determine which topics become suspect and which narratives are approved.
Europe's own foundational documents state that every individual has the right to receive
and impart information without interference from public authority.
It's difficult to square that principle with a regime that increasingly polices
public communication through fines, pressure, and officially sanctioned gatekeepers.
If transparency becomes the pretext for a managed public sphere,
the question is not whether censorship exists.
The question is how long governments can deny it
while building the architecture for it in plain sight,
which is the name of that documentary that the filthy lying media,
hard cash times, Sunday Times, made about Ole Russ,
a man who believes in freedom, sanctuary, glory, consent, and Christ.
Praise the Lord.
