Paul English Live 062526,,- Technical Gremlins, National Identity, and Canada’s Crackdown

I opened this one in full summer-meltdown mode with Eric Von Essex as we sweated through the heat, joked our way through English seaside imagery, and somehow turned avocados, Marmite, old percolators, and coffee rituals into a proper opening ramble. From there, we drifted into the bigger stuff: whether “rights” are real or just another control mechanism, what free speech actually means when the consequences are managed by institutions, and how language itself gets fenced in. We also touched on football, national identity, media framing, and the strange theatre of modern politics — all while the show itself was being battered by one technical hiccup after another.In the final hour, Monica Schaefer joined me for a serious and wide-ranging conversation about Canada’s accelerating authoritarian turn, online speech laws, ideological capture, the courts, and the ongoing imprisonment of her brother Alfred. We got into propaganda, censorship, transgender ideology, family collapse, and the way “tolerance” can be weaponized into surrender. Even with the stream gremlins doing their worst, the core message came through loud and clear: keep your humour, keep your bearings, and keep saying plainly what you can still say.The Global Voice Internet Radio: https://www.theglobalvoice.info/Food For Thought Radio: https://fftradio.com/Paul English Live (Apple Podcasts): https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/paul-english-live/id1753277151MitoBOOST by Mito Red Light: https://mitoredlight.com/products/mitoboostMarmite UK: https://www.marmite.co.uk/home.htmlALDI UK: https://www.aldi.co.uk/Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/eBay UK: https://www.ebay.co.uk/Oxfam GB: https://www.oxfam.org.uk/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/Telegram Messenger: https://telegram.org/Marc Andreessen (a16z profile): https://a16z.com/author/marc-andreessen/Liz Truss: https://elizabethtruss.com/Fabian Society: https://fabians.org.uk/London School of Economics and Political Science: https://www.lse.ac.uk/Tavistock Institute of Human Relations: https://tavinstitute.org/Chatham House: https://www.chathamhouse.org/Bank of England: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/MI5 (The Security Service): https://www.mi5.gov.uk/about-usSIS / MI6: https://www.sis.gov.uk/World Economic Forum: https://www.weforum.org/The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind by Gustave Le Bon (Project Gutenberg): https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/445Pastor Dan Fenco: https://danfenco.com/
