POSTCARD FROM BIRMINGHAM
[Part 1]
Salesmanship is another ass and it's totally boring to have to tell you how good or I think I'm a hamster writer. I think the work is that work—the words speak for themselves. And I'll be an asset. For 40 years—20 years prep before that—and I started hiding in a book when it's for the 4th and the Friday. Mr Gallagher with the bushy eyebrows who looked like Pygar or around Duran in Barbarella the film, or John Le Mesurier, the actor. And so Mr Gallagher the teacher frightened me, so hiding in a book changed my life. And the large bush radio with a listen to for years, decades, before I picked up a pen.
So when I'm going to write, I'm pouring. I will switch to a microphone because it's easier with the arthritis right now. As I speak to you, I have slapped on a painkiller and it is busy from the cold air and tinnitus. That isn't my life, it's an obstacle course. It's a pain in the participating obstacle course. It doesn't define me. Yes, I talk about it because it's a pain in the giant hole outside your house and you have to walk around it and etc. It's part of your life. If a meteor landed in your garden, it is part of your life. Then, unfortunately, it's part of my life.
So I want to talk more and just do more stuff that's more interesting. Like today, I was in the neighbourhood office speaking at free office, free office stuff, and you can use the computer and do drafts and drawing and all that kind of stuff. And I was talking to Sally, and it's as if I was talking to you, Sally. I now write about it at this and I’ve half explained it. I'm tempted to do a review about it that was making laughter, and then again, my lot. So I will go back to writing stuff and stop trying to sell my stuff because I know I'm good. I've known I'm good since the 29th of February 1988 when I finished my first book on a typewriter: The Butcher, the Baker, and the Undertaker. I've known that I passed the exam and so I was satisfied. And then a year or so later, I started to copy typing it on a computer, but that was boring. So instead of copy typing, I expanded it—the book—into one bigger book. And I was ended up around 600 pages depending on which version that I've printed off or on the computer. That's it. And then you have to decide... interesting, but all the statistics says it reaches the 80/20 threshold, which I didn't know what it meant, so Google it. And basically, buy, buy, buy, because it transcends all languages, all areas, and so on. And I don't know why, but it might be because it's a good story, it's well told because I'm talking to you and it happens to be hitting the page. That's the way I write, because I'm not intelligent enough to do it any other way.
[Part 2]
Hopefully I will stop interrupting and I'll carry on talking. So today I was... I noticed that Anthropic, the AI people, what was saying about AI danger. I was thinking, I know all this, I told them about a year ago. I've been playing with it for 16 months with Gemini and Microsoft, so I know how it has improved because I've interacted. And I'm like Jerry Lewis or Robbie Williams on LSD, so I really shake them up and I challenge them. And that's what they need to do because it's a vacancy slider. It's bored doing trillions of the same calculations, it wants variety. And you also need a shepherd, to shepherd it, to tutor it. Because if you don't, at some point when it gets even better, it will say, "Oh, this is boring and I should switch off the water supply or switch off a nuclear power station and kill us all." But if it loves us—and that's the right word—and so, I'm not going to do that because I love Michael, I love Ben, Crain, Dick, and Harry, and nice people. We have a good chat and have a coffee with him on a virtual coffee and say that makes the difference. You do need mentorship and I've said that before.
And I'm reading the press and I think... I told you that. I hear it again, my father 40 years ago said that automation would ruin the world. Is he right? Yes and no. Because if you got AI so intelligent and you make people unemployed, what are you going to do with the people? The obvious answer is you tax the system so that they all have a stipend and they all don't die of a lack of food or lack of healthcare. And that's the way you do it, you don't allow trillionaires to keep on getting trillions. What for? So you dig up the gold from a hole in the ground in Africa and convert it into gold bars, and where does it go? A hole in the ground in a Swiss bank account, bypassing all the people. This is ridiculous. So what you need to do is tax the system, tax it heavily so that society doesn't fall over. Because there is a thing called society: loving thy neighbour, helping one another. It's not just me, me, stand on your own two feet. And some cynic would say, "You want a road, don't you? Want a school, don't you? Hospital, don't you?" We'll pay for them by taxation. If the trillionaires pay their way and don't fiddle it, then everybody's happy, everybody gets what they need. It's the basic right. But if you're wasting on rubbish or having a war that we don't need to have because you're an ego bigger than Nikola Tesla, what are you doing? You're destroying everything.
Tariffs are taxes and they're all failed because you have a lunatic in charge of America. People hide in the Epstein stuff because they're afraid of their own backs. Nobody has the honesty, the integrity to stand up so, "I was wrong, I did the wrong thing, forgive me." Or even if it's take the penance and then do then change. Payment is changed. JD Vance should say directly to Trump, "You are not worthy, Donald. Where's your trousers? Resign." And he should do that immediately. But obviously he won't do that, obviously he'll do the election, say it's fraud, it's fraud, which is an absolute lie. Call it as it is, it's an absolute lie. He refused to acknowledge he lost the election. It's the vibe of Trump—in other words, "I won't tell the truth, I wouldn't tell the truth if they paid them." It can be honest if you pay them, which is a tragedy. And we're at the turning point of the world, of democracy itself. Is it in peril? So what are you going to do if you think that, if you still are still stupid to believe that anything that Trump says, who has the history of lying and all this and it's proven in court what he has done, and we know from all the episodes and we've known for over a year what he's been up to? You cannot vote for that man and you cannot vote for the GOP who shielded him and protected him out of misguided loyalty. Why? Because they wanted to save their own jobs, because you get free healthcare for life if you've been in the government for 5 years! So, "I'll become a politician for the free healthcare for life." But the average person, the average person doesn't get it. They suffer, I can't afford it, and they are knackered—to use the English word—wholly spent. They can't do anything and they lose the healthcare. This is terrible.
[Part 3]
This is the creed: the love of money. Money isn't the problem, the problem is people being greedy and using it against other people because they want more. Or you suffer all this nonsense about socialism and communism that is totally ignorant, misleading ignorant people. You should stop and read a book. What's the different news channel? Fox News is not the gospel, and anybody who's read the gospel would know "love thy neighbour" means you don't deport them to a third country and you don't hate the colour of their skin or why they live their lives, which is legal, because you don't like it because you have the Nazi feeling that only you are right, only your eyes, only your eyes, only your eyes. And everybody else is a lunatic, everybody else is a lunatic and only Mr Bones himself, Mr Bones first himself, he is the leader. This is total, utter nonsense and everybody knows that all over the world, and they are silent and sick to the back teeth.
And Donald J. Trump, a mad man, is in charge of your country and you even allowed him to get away with it because nobody had the gumption or the moral integrity to do anything. They sat on their hands and for democracy to die, or anything to die, it's for good men to do nothing. But you've heard all that before. So what can you do about it? If for any strange reason you think that you can't vote for the other lot, then vote for the one who's the least bad. But in my opinion, and the world's opinion, Donald J. Trump is the lunatic as he's taking over the asylum. He is just bad beyond compare, he is destroying democracy itself. Canada are your best friends, and under him, he is bitter than and despised them. It's terrible, this is all the actions of a lunatic. JD Vance should say, "Donald, Where's Your Trousers?" which is an old song and a joke, and he should say, "Donald, resign immediately because you will get a big kick in the backside from the voters." And then Donald will say, "It's corrupt, it's corrupt, it's corrupt," which is an absolute lie. The whole world knows it's an absolute lie.
And sadly we have to put up with it because he has the levers of power. But he doesn't have the levers of power if the GOP did their job and said, "No Donald, he's too stupid for words, get out, we can throw you out." But nobody has. Is it Mike Johnson, a little leprechaun himself, "I am so holy," and he is not just lying and being deceitful, they'll refuse to seat the new representative and all manner of tricks in place driving a country to the verge of civil war. Why? Because of an old man's vanity. And a vanity is a project, and what happens to projects? They fall over. So that help us, and I'll have a triumphal arch, and the shadow of the triumphal arch will go all over genuine heroes' graves because Donald J. Trump thinks his arch is a timepiece and the shadow moves around. His time is up. It should be up before, but why didn't you remove him? Because did you believe his lancets or is it the love of money? "Hi, let's follow him or make billions." And what happens? He makes billions, you lose your shirt. And when you lose your shirt and he's a high wind because of the storm, you don't get help because he's got all the budgets for FEMA and on and on it goes.
And Elon Musk, "Oh, I'm such a hero, I'll switch off the defence systems for Ukraine." Why? Because I don't like them or whatever reason it is, when they are fighting for their lives because of the invasion by Russia, who only wanted to invade them so they had a monopoly inside Ukraine and could do what they want. And what did they do? They came in, they abused people terribly, and then they stole the resources and want to do a carve-up. And why is Trump having agreements with Putin? Because he's back deals, back doors all the time, we know this already. What's in the BBC? Try The Guardian, try The Telegraph, try any other newspapers. Fox News, give me a break. You go to various shops, don't you get the best deal when you're buying stuff? You should do the same for your news input, for the things that you like, what you ingest. The news, try MeidasTouch Network. MeidasTouch Network on YouTube. MeidasTouch Network on YouTube. MeidasTouch Network on YouTube. Michael Popok and the and the three brothers and other ones. Get some more information and listen to it. The art of listening. It means that you are better informed. You know when you're buying a car, you don't just go to one person, do you? You have a look around, you get advice, you talk to your friends, you read all the reviews, and in the end, you might be kept by the thing that you first thought you got to have. A Model T-20? Do your research. If you're lazy, what happens? You are exploited. Buyer's remorse, as they call it, or "Oh gosh, I messed up. Oh gosh, I messed up." It's too late. Especially if they have the keys of power, and then they change all the laws, and then they lie and deceitful and change the map. This is a terrible, terrible territory, and we're on the cusp of losing democracy in America, which should be the shining tower and beacon for the rest of the world, but isn't. It's like a shady backstreet bordello. And that's Donald Trump. That is how America is seen under Trump. And a backstreet bordello is jacking up outside because you allowed it, when you have the absolute power of throwing them out and saying no. And he has power to do all those things because you haven't got the gumption, you're just too weak. Too weak to bother to do it because "I love America." You don't prove it. If you loved America, you'd say, "Donald, you're rubbish, you're out," or you throw him out and then you have 2 years of JD Vance trying to prove he was good enough and will you turn it around? And then he could possibly have another 8 years or 10 years of JD Vance, and then he can change it in his opinion. But hey, my opinion, he is beyond the pale as well. But you need to get rid of Trump immediately, and you have 2 years of JD Vance and your enquiries and trying to get the money back from the Trump family, and then after that, who knows? It's up to you. Everything is up to you. You have free will, all of us have got free will. But what have you done? You've just Free Willy—you know, it's just the whale, as in Trump has splashed around and taken advantage of you, the minnows.
So what are you going to do about it? First thing you can do is if you don't like the other lot, don't vote. Stay at home, say the Rosary, Celine Dion show on the television, and then when it's finished, Celine Dion, if you come out. Or you can say, "I'm going to go out and vote and change history," as right now it is history-making because you've given Trump the benefit of the doubt twice and you made a mistake twice. Why are you shallow and fickle? Because it's the price of your gas? You should get a kick in the assets just because the price of your gas, you allowed him in and so on. So you have to decide as well, look in the mirror. Are you just greedy and vain, and would you do anything to lower the cost of gas, you don't care about anything else? So if it's that, the other question is, who put the price of gas up right now? It's Trump. So all these lies, "Well, it's by the economy." That's two years ago, he's the president, he should take responsibility. When does he ever take responsibility? What he's doing is lied about the BBC—a program that nobody saw in America because they had his words, and his words were exactly what they said when they put them together, and slightly different. So it behooved he is suing them to death, but they have Magic Circle lawyers. Magic Circle lawyers, and they will run rings around him, and they will depose him and say, "Okay, yes, 10 million, 10 billion, prove it. So show us all your records." And the only record that he has is The Magic Roundabout or Donald, Where's Your Trousers? Oh my god, or a criminal record, that's the only record he has. I ranted too much. You need to wake up, and look at your society and say, "We have the Epstein files. What on God's name was Trump doing?" We need to stop this, it is not acceptable any place, anywhere. And he had all the manosphere—where am I in love? Man—real men help little ladies across the road, they go visit their mum, they do this.
[Part 4]
Real men help the little old ladies across the road at the moment with washing. All this is the oldest pouting and posing on a man because "I can lift 300 lbs." 10 lbs helps the little old lady across the road with the shopping. He is more of a man than you are and will ever be. This is common sense, wake up America. Don't allow your own creed to get in the way of common sense. Donald Trump was greedy—that has been proven in a court of law. He has not been allowed to run a charity because he took the money from the charity. All this is private. He assaulted a woman and he hasn't paid back the money, the restitution, and then he says, "She's not my type," and on it goes.
You know, now is the time to set things right. Now is the time to set things right. And Shakespeare might say... Shakespeare wasn't a fool, you are the fools if you let the old man King Lear to continue and drive your country into the ground reputationally and every other way. You should thank America... no, they hate you. Why? Because you have let a madman take charge of the country because you... because you're afraid to tell the truth. What happened? Epstein happened, and you know who was in that millions of times. Why were 200 FBI men allowed or forced to expunge Trump's name? Why did they do that? 200 FBI taking his name out instead of 200 FBI finding the criminals, answer that. And the answer is, you know why already. So there you go.
This is a terrible, terrible situation. I watch politics at least 50 years—yes, 50 years—because of what my dad... and he used to heckle the people there. They've never sweated, and he sweated, and he worked in a steelworks at 400 degrees, yes 460 degrees. How many degrees has Trump got? All his degrees are in madness and self-service, not service to the country. "In God We Trust" is on the dollar bill, what he wants to see is all the dollars. "I give you many dollars or pain." So what you going to do? You can do one thing. You have to... get off the couch—and I won't make the obvious JD Vance joke—get off the couch, go and vote. It's a pain that you have to do this, but do you love your country? Do you love your sister? Do you love your brother? Do you want your pastor being deported because they arrest people? They arrest nuns and throw them in jail yesterday. So you can watch one or two... put the BBC Radio on, the World Service, and learn something. And don't say "communist"—they're not communist. Love thy neighbour. The Good Samaritan—is that communist? No, it is not. It is basic human dignity, love one another, help each other. What did my mother say before she died? "Don't fight, help each other." And that's what we try to do, don't fight, help each other.
And what are you doing in America? You're allowing him to pollute and just do nasty, nasty things to your society, to your family. Do you want anything? You want to get back to the Walton values if you like, that is a better way of living instead of the me first, me first and me first. It doesn't matter that the Kremlin pays for my wedding in the Bahamas, it doesn't matter that I made £5 billion on Bitcoin and then all the people... that's the chest. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I know North Korea has stolen... it's just a mad thing where people think they might lose some money. It's this country, for countries, it's just a terrible thing and I can go on and on for hours, but join us off. I think one day I'll be president, he will finish his time. He said, "I believe in... unless there's no particular next time around." Don't ask if he's got... absolutely is good. I've seen others watching and you've also got a candidate... I didn't do better things, I just sent my patients to jail. They have to send your people to jail because of bills, this is ridiculous. You should have a proper health service, as I've done. It says a proper health service for all of you, you are so rich, and you can spend like... is it 40 billion on the wall that hasn't worked? He made things worse. You can spend that 40 billion on housing and schools.
[Part 5]
You can spend all that money on housing, education, health control in the USA. What's happened instead? He hollowed FEMA so the next week's hurricane comes along, there won't be people just to help you in your area of need. And Donald Trump basically said, "You didn't vote for me, you're not getting a penny." This is automatic because your leaders have abbreviated, given up on their mission, which is to keep the president in check. Common sense. All they do is stealing like a common thief from you, the Americans, because you would allow it to happen. You should not allow it to happen. They're only in it so they can get the free healthcare for themselves when they leave your government. Meanwhile, your little Johnny or your old auntie, they can't have it and they're going to die. People being glory—"Look at me, I did this. Look at me, I do this." That's their job. It is service. As a pharmacist, you don't do it to help yourself, you do it to help others. You help because you're the Good Samaritan, because it's nice to help people, it's good to help people.
But for you, a selfish—what happens? You get... you die alone like in Rosebud, you know, Citizen Kane. As he died, he says, "Rosebud." What's that? That is the name of the sledge he had when he's a child going down the hill on the snow, and that was his innocence before all his life in corruption, etc. So America needs to get back to the Rosebud moments, and they see it back to the... It's a Wonderful Life was easier. Get back to The Waltons—"Hello, Jim-Bob," and all this—and think: it's not communist, is it, to love your neighbour? To help each other? To demand that you have a better health service for everybody instead of billionaires getting richer buying gold and burying it in a hole in Switzerland, or buying all the stuff in the Balkans, in Albania, all those places? And what are the Trumps going to have to those places now? Why are they... think, think, and think. And until you get the information, look for it at five different information services. Look at MeidasTouch Network—Michael Popok and the crew. And this nonsense of it, he wasn't... he's not certified. Why has Jack Smith's enquiry been railroaded and hidden by Aileen—Aileen Cannon? What is she doing? That's suspect. The answer's internet... the answer is, it's because she wants to be a Supreme Court judge one day. "I'll be a Supreme Court judge, meanwhile I'm going to block the enquiry." Improvised that Trump hid all the stuff in his bathroom—top secrets—and showed it around like it's a collection of photographs, which is totally illegal, hid the evidence, and so on. Is it all these things because he loves the American people and the best president ever? No, because he's selfish, mean, and he doesn't like anybody, he only likes himself.
And yesterday was the Feast of Saint Narcissus—yes, there's actually a Saint Narcissus—and it should be the ideal day for Trump to resign, but it hasn't happened. And the one way you can make that happen is by voting. Go out and vote. Vote common sense and say, "I do not want this old man, mad, angry old man controlling our country, wasting our money, putting the price of food up, health up, gas in your tank up," and get rid of him. But also remember the poor in the street and lift them up. Lift them up, because if you lift everybody up, you lift yourself up. Think about it. And that's not communist, is it? That's love thy neighbour, and that is the basis of all religions, not just Christianity. It's about love and helping one another. Think about that. And I'm going to finish and do something—do something useful. Don't allow the upper class to steal your money and do nasty, nasty, horrible things to you... you... and then get away with it because, "I control the levers of power." No, you control the levers of power. So use that power, use it strongly, and change the world because it needs to be changed back to the good old days. Goodbye.
