London, second biggest city in Europe after Moscow, a beautiful city, and in many ways, have to be honest, still probably a little nicer than the biggest city in our country, New York, but still much reduced in quality of life from 40 years ago. And dramatically in decline as compared to 100 years ago.
Anyone who notes that London is not as nice as it once was is the crime, is the criminal. Here's Sadiq Khan, the long-time mayor of London, often referred to in the United States as a as a radical Muslim, who's nothing of the sort. He's just a conventional white liberal with an Islamic sounding name.
But here's Sadiq Khan explaining why people would criticize London on social media.
"Most people's experience of London is very different to the version you see on social media, and there's a reason for that. We've done some research and looked into what's going on here. Basically, you've got a combination of people using the algorithms on social media that that monetize negativity and hatred, but also a combination of state actors, whether it's China, Russia, or uh MAGA influences being unhappy that a city that is progressive, liberal, diverse is incredibly successful. I mean, we are the antidote, the antithesis of nativist populist movements. So, don't be surprised if you've got people on social media spreading misinformation, disinformation, and lies."
[laughter]
"It's the Russians. They're the ones telling you London's not as nice as it used to be. Because honestly, the one thing we know about London is diversity is its greatest strength. Now, you're not invited to assess that for yourself. You're not invited to ask for evidence that that's true. Because in fact, it's not a political slogan, it's a religious precept. It's the one thing we know, that diversity is our strength. Now, if it turns out that diversity is not our strength, we can't admit it because that would be apostasy. So, we have to keep chanting it again and again and again."
And you almost as you listen to Sadiq Khan wave away any criticism of the city that he's so bravely mismanaged for so long as state actors spreading disinformation and lies, which are not the same thing, by the way. Disinformation is information that we don't want to hear. Lies are things that are untrue. It's disinformation that he's concerned about. But as as you hear him lay all that at the feet of Putin or China or mega influencers, you suspect that maybe he's starting to believe it. That he won't allow into his own head what is obvious to everybody else, which is this experiment has failed. This is not working. On any level for anybody except the people in charge.
Another way to put it is if the relationship between the citizen and the state is a contract, a social contract, only the citizen is keeping up his side. So, the citizen gives up some rights and quite a bit of money in exchange for what? Security and services. He wants to live in a decent place. He wants his children to get a decent education. He wants non-embarrassing infrastructure. He doesn't want to get stabbed to death on the way back from the bar. That's what the citizen wants. He doesn't want the neighborhood that he lives in to change in 20 years with new people who he doesn't know and didn't ask in. He wants some control over his life and he wants the state to provide some measure, some basic measure of security and services. And the state no longer does that.
There are so-called developing countries, many of them, around the world that have superior infrastructure to Britain and the United States. Many of them. They're not richer countries. They're just countries in which the leadership class takes its own vows a little bit more seriously than ours. Oh, well, in exchange for getting a private plane and the long title and the medals on my chest, I have to provide basic services and by the way, we can't have stabbings in the middle of our capital city. And so they do that as leaders have always done. But this leadership class in the West has stopped even trying to do that. And has instead replaced its duty with hatred toward the people it has failed. And that's very obvious.
But Frank Wright, despite being excluded from the system, and he would be here in the United States, too. Let's not lie to ourselves. Has managed not to become bitter or hateful or angry or a racist. He's a thoroughly decent, cheerful, hopeful, kind man. Whose prescriptions are all about loving your neighbor, no matter where he's from, because Frank Wright is a Christian. And as you hear him speak, remember that he speaks for the old Europe. The old England, the Christian Europe that gave birth to our civilization, that produced the most interesting and enlightened ideas in the history of mankind. Also produced the most revolutionary technology in the history of mankind. It was a truly successful, well-flawed society. And it was a Christian society.
So, here's Frank Wright reminding us that the way we live now is not the way our great-grandparents lived. It's not the way our great-grandchildren will live. And that's okay.
Here's Frank Wright. Mr. Wright, thank you very much uh for joining us. I became aware of you like most people fairly recently when you were interviewed as a man on the street as we say here in the United States and gave this kind of beautiful explanation of your concerns. And so we pressed a little deeper and I want to read back to you a couple of quotes from a a series that you have started um that I will be watching. Uh but I I want you to explain if you would what you mean by this and I'm quoting. "We live in a belief system that no one believes in anymore and it has created a terminal crisis that it can't escape alive. We've been trained in a way not to see the elephant at all and to call the mess it makes of everything progress." And then finally you write, "What is ending now is not the world but the world as we knew it." What system are you describing?
"Well, I'm describing the system that was marketed to us as liberal democracy. Uh which we've all taken we've been led to believe deliberately um because the system rules us by media is the acme of human organization. It's like the verdict of history and we've all kind of accepted that this is this is the only way we can live. But in fact that system was intentionally put together over a hundred years ago and as I've explained elsewhere it is the god that failed twice. And it was there to replace the civilization that we had before and the tremendously destructive opportunity of the Great War and then the Second World War provided if you like the uh the opportunity to install this system in place of the European civilization that we'd inherited from the monastic system of the church over a thousand years ago. So what we're doing now is we're realizing that the beliefs that we've been supplied by this system no longer explain the world and the crisis that this system has created isn't just national or local and it is local to you and I, and it is in both of our nations, but it's worldwide. And there's a collapse of belief in the system, and I would like to remind people that it is the foundational technique, rather that it's central to the political technique of the 20th century, to manufacture belief in your own system. The system manufactures belief in itself through every form of uh cultural production. I mean, you know, your the things that you buy, the disposable items that you have, the terms and conditions that are increasingly offline as well as online. When you notice that this is everywhere, and it's infused into practically every transaction, and life is a series of transactions now in the main in this system, because it's neolist, and it's consumerist, so you then you notice the the remarkable fact that you've never noticed that you're policed by a total ideology until it starts to fail. And it's failing now. It's not working for all of us. You know, in one of the most divisive times in human history socially and culturally, everyone can agree that everything's getting worse, and there seems to be no answers from within that system. And that's because the system is the problem."
"I think everyone listening to this, regardless of ideology, senses the truth in what you're saying. Um one line stuck out to me, the system is no longer capable of explaining the world around us. What What do you mean by that?"
"Well, um what I would say is that the crisis that has been created by the way that we are ruled uh has become so impossible to manage that it's completely out of control. If you look at the idea The reason why I go on about the idea of technique is because technique is is one word for saying, you know, the refinement of the process of producing a standard result. And if you look at what our politics has done over a century, then you can see that it's been refining itself, if you like, at the speed of the development of communication technology to produce a system that manufactures belief in itself. And we might be caught up in a lot of the effects. So, we'll complain about something that's woke, for example, or we'll complain about some mad war that's been launched. But really, all these things make sense from the point of view of one big idea, which is if you understand that from its beginning the liberal system was about creating a global standard in everything, in economics, in politics, in culture, and in belief. And when you see that as just an object, a standard object, we're going to we're going to standardize the whole world, that's the object, that's the objective, then you understand everything that's been done. And then all the madness makes sense because, for example, one remarkable thing I discovered was some of the people that put together the Federal Reserve and then you know, the international liberal system management and the Council on Foreign Relations, they described themselves as internationalists. That's that's the right early marketing term for what we call globalists today. And so, you can hear a lot of people complain about that, but really, if you understand that the general idea is to standardize the whole world under the standards of this new system, under its political economy, its politics, its economics, and the belief it supplies, and the only beliefs it really supplies are the beliefs in itself, and it excludes all the other ones. You can see why there's a terminal crisis now because the only beliefs that we can find that can explain the world aren't supplied by the liberal system. And that's why they're policing speech, and that's why they call anyone, anyone, who makes a sane, decent, and indeed Christian objection to the politics and economics of mass destruction, that's why they describe you as being evil for demanding a decent life and a future for your children. That's why they describe you as an extremist if you dare to notice the obvious out loud. And these are some of the effects of this system that's disintegrating. And part of that technique, if you like, is the creation of crises which they then go on to monetize."
We pray that the war with Iran ends immediately, but the truth is it doesn't seem to be. If you're the head of household, you need to think through what this could mean for you.
