Full transcript: We Will Not Be Silenced
0:23 A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth is a nation that is afraid of its people.
0:35 We the people tell the government what to do. It doesn’t tell us.
0:42 Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere.
0:51 I call upon you to march with me under the banner of freedom, which will save us all and our children.
1:13 Freedom of thought is essential to human progress.
1:18 Freedom of thought begins with the right to ask questions.
1:33 We must want our fellow human beings to have rights and freedoms which give them dignity.
1:42 You cannot tell me any law that I broke.
1:48 Hand in hand with freedom of speech goes the power to be heard. All can be swept away by a government which does not heed the demands of its people. And I mean all of its people.
2:04 They may torture my body, break my bones, even kill me. Then they will have my dead body, not my obedience.
2:28 The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
2:43 Over the past few weeks, our entire world has been transformed.
2:58 Everything we took for granted has now been taken away. And our freedoms have been replaced with fear.
3:12 All those rights we fought centuries for have been handed over without a second thought.
3:21 We all process fear in different ways. I cope by immersing myself in my work. And today my job is to ask questions.
3:36 1 million people will be watching and they all want answers.
3:45 Countless others are trying to stop this from happening. At any moment they could walk through that door or block this broadcast.
4:03 I’m scared. But I don’t know what else to do.
4:15 I’ve prepared my whole life for a moment like this. But nothing would prepare me for what happened next.
4:28 This is London Real. I am Brian Rose. My guest today is David Icke. What happened after that broadcast?
4:36 Brian Rose’s London Real interview with David Icke was removed from YouTube. If you take that guy off, you just make him bigger.
4:44 What the hell just happened?
4:46 Have you ever lost the only thing that makes you feel alive?
4:50 You are only one piece of content away from termination.
4:55 This is the story of how we got censored. How we put everything on the line for what we believed in. You must stay at home.
5:03 How we were betrayed. **** the BBC. How we fought back.
5:07 Awaken to who you really are. Remember and expose the truth. Who benefits?
5:16 Who is telling me what I can and can’t say? Who the **** are these people? So it will never happen again.
5:26 I want to be with Brian Rose and David Icke in the universe. That is the future and that will never be defeated.
5:51 My name is Brian Rose and I’ve been on camera since the day I was born.
5:57 My parents used to film everything and I always wanted to do the same. When I was 10 years old, my mom got me a VHS camcorder.
6:08 This is 4 Action News. And overnight, I became a movie director.
6:16 Yep, that’s me. I filmed my cats. I filmed my grandparents. I filmed serial killers. Actually, that’s my brother.
6:30 It was awesome. I thought my dream would last forever.
6:36 But as I got older, life got serious and I was told to choose a real job. So I became a banker.
6:50 But ultimately it lacked purpose and over time it started to crush my soul.
6:57 Soon I was left disconnected, depressed and slowly drinking myself to death.
7:05 But then something totally unexpected came along and saved me. YouTube.
7:12 This is what happens when you give everyone a voice, a chance to be heard, and a stage to be seen. That’s the power of YouTube. That’s the power of you.
7:23 Now, for the first time ever, anyone in the world with a camera could become a star. It was incredible.
7:33 This was my second chance and the hell if I was going to miss it. So I quit my job and decided to be a kid again.
7:44 My idea was simple: to record real conversations with real people and share them with the world. Hello and welcome to London Real. My name is Brian Rose.
7:52 I wanted those with different mindsets, different lifestyles and different beliefs to speak freely about absolutely everything.
8:02 We’re not encouraged to analyse. We live in a society that is a result of a particular set of people’s ideas.
8:07 I called it London Real and it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
8:13 I think the hallmark of our show is getting people to look at their own behaviours and their own ways of thinking and to question it: why am I doing this?
8:20 It wasn’t long before people started to notice London Real. These guys are one of the coolest up-and-coming podcasts that I’ve had a chance to listen to.
8:31 I’ve been impressed by the power of a conversation. It had a big effect on me. I’ve grown so much as a person this last year. It’s probably been the best year of my life.
8:39 And soon after I welcomed rappers, monks, Navy SEALs, politicians, and yep, even that guy.
8:46 Who do you want in a **** foxhole with you, Brian? Some mealy-mouthed, politically correct ****, or somebody that’s going to rip their head off?
9:01 It was like a dream. Next, random strangers started stopping me in the streets, asking for selfies.
9:11 It all seemed too good to be true. I had never felt such purpose, experienced so much happiness, or connected so closely with a community ever in my life.
9:24 Thank you, YouTube.
9:28 We made documentary films, started an academy, and even hosted live events.
9:37 One thing was for certain. I wanted to do this for the rest of my life.
9:42 Take some action. Transform yourself. I really believe our entire species depends on it.
9:50 And 2020 was shaping up to be our best year ever.
10:01 China has identified the cause of a mysterious new virus, coronavirus. The outbreak centres on the city of Wuhan, where the source is thought to be a seafood market.
10:16 The virus: at first, I didn’t take it seriously. It was all happening so far away.
10:27 It’s largely under control. Most patients are showing lighter symptoms. But every day it got closer and closer.
10:37 Thailand has reported the first case of the Wuhan coronavirus found outside of China.
10:44 And before long, it’s all anyone could talk about.
10:49 We have therefore made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterised as a pandemic.
10:59 One person passed away overnight. The coronavirus has hit the UK.
11:08 We were bombarded with information. It’s important that we embrace science. Listen to scientists.
11:16 Numbers and statistics and graphs and projections. My head was spinning.
11:22 Italy: nearly 200 people there have died in just the last 24 hours. 14 more people across Britain have died. COVID-19 has killed more than 6,000.
11:41 And as the numbers grew, so did our fear.
11:47 Suddenly, all the things we took for granted were now at risk: our health, our families, our businesses, our future.
12:00 What could save us? Science, of course.
12:10 I spent four years studying engineering at one of the greatest institutions in the world. Surely, the scientists would save us.
12:21 So I looked for the best doctors and virologists and epidemiologists to invite on my show.
12:31 But my audience had other ideas. All the comments were suggesting the same person. They couldn’t be serious.
12:43 But the days were ticking by. The world was quickly descending into madness. And we still had no answers.
12:54 I had to talk to somebody about this virus before it was too late.
13:05 He’s been described as the most controversial speaker in the world, arguably the most well-known conspiracy theorist on the planet. He describes himself as a full-time investigative journalist searching for the truth of what’s really going on.
13:17 Ladies and gentlemen, can you welcome on stage David Icke.
13:20 For some people, David Icke is a visionary, a prophet, a hero. To others, he’s a provocateur.
13:30 Would you describe yourself as a conspiracy theorist? Well, I look at what officialdom tells us is happening and check it out. And if you can back that up with information, it’s not a theory.
13:42 Some call him a crackpot. A lunatic.
13:54 Do you still think the royal family were shapeshifting lizards? Yes, I do.
13:58 But he’s also a multi-million-selling author who’s written over 20 books. A man who can get 10,000 people to show up and listen.
14:09 The fascist global state is not coming, ’cause we’re not freaking having it any more.
14:23 David has spent the last three decades delving into every controversial topic there is. Was 9/11 a conspiracy? Is 5G a technology made to enslave us? Are humans controlled by a cabal of alien lizards? And the list goes on.
14:42 But London Real has always been about one thing. We speak to people that challenge our beliefs. And anyway, what did I have to lose?
15:09 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
15:19 This is London Real. I am Brian Rose. My guest today is David Icke, the English writer and public speaker known since the 1990s as a professional conspiracy theorist. It’s March 18th, 2020.
15:35 I personally don’t believe the coronavirus was created by a third party. I do think it occurred naturally. I do believe in the science and I do believe in vaccines.
15:46 I do plan on getting my flu vaccine and any future coronavirus vaccines, although you might talk me out of it. We’ll see.
15:52 I am now obeying the orders of the government. I understand and I agree with this policy of social distancing in order to flatten the curve and not to overwhelm our medical system.
15:59 David, there’s an ancient Chinese expression that says, “May you live in interesting times.” Some say it’s a curse. What do you see in the world?
16:17 Well, maybe if I just put some background in place. I’ve been investigating the mainstream everything for 30 years. So I question everything. And if it stands up, it stands up. But I don’t just take it because someone in a suit has told me to believe it.
16:38 OK. But the coronavirus is real and it is dangerous. You do believe that? Well, not as a black and white.
16:46 Obviously there is a strain of this coronavirus which appears to be different. But if you look in terms of the danger, the danger is to a certain section of society: those that have compromised immune systems.
17:12 Well, they say that this is more dangerous and more contagious and potentially going to kill more people.
17:17 I’ll tell you what one of the punchlines of this virus is. It’s the bloody vaccine. Any vaccine for coronavirus will be mandatory.
17:29 Now, if you can give me a better definition of fascism than the state telling you what will go into your body, then I’d like to bloody hear it.
17:37 What if that’s the only cure? Well, is it a cure? Who decides that? A scientist might. Oh god, science. Well, science isn’t always wrong.
17:51 No, but science is massively wrong, with the benefit of hindsight. You want to introduce a vaccine. What is in the vaccine? We don’t know.
18:09 Oh, we’re all going to die, vaccinate me, don’t even think about it. Survival mechanism. But what if that is the only solution? Well, who decides that it’s the only solution?
18:21 Look at the outcome. What’s that great line that goes back to ancient Rome? Who benefits? He who most benefits from a crime is the one most likely to have committed it.
18:35 Let’s ask that question. Who benefits from what’s happening and what’s being justified on the basis of this “virus”? Anyone that wants to transform human society into an Orwellian state.
18:50 And through fear of death and fear of this and fear of that, fear of the virus, billions are acquiescing to the few. That’s what happens.
19:04 And fear always looks outside of itself for what it believes will protect it from what it fears.
19:21 What the hell was that? My first guest to talk about the virus and I get this.
19:31 There was no science and I got no answers. I’m back to square one.
19:42 From this evening, I must give the British people a very simple instruction. You must stay at home. If you don’t follow the rules, the police will have the powers to enforce them.
19:56 Two days later, governments around the world implemented a total lockdown.
20:05 It was crazy. Everyone panicked and everyone complied. COVID-19 has now claimed more than 30,000 lives around the world.
20:16 It was as if Icke’s words had become true. And soon his episode became the most watched in our history.
20:25 While many resonated with Icke, others hated him, filling our inbox with threats and insults.
20:34 Why was this madman attracting so much attention? It made no sense, but I couldn’t get his words out of my head.
20:39 Problem, reaction, solution. This is a devastating technique of mass manipulation, where you create a problem, the invisible killer, and blame someone else for it.
21:03 You tell the public, through an unquestioning, pathetic media, the version of that problem you want the public to believe.
21:21 You want their reaction. You want fear. You want outrage. You want a reaction of “something must be done, this can’t go on, what are they going to do about it?”
21:50 And then those who have covertly created the problem then openly offer the solutions to the problems they have themselves created.
21:59 Breaking news. Stay at home. That is the order tonight from four state governors. It can’t be some of us. It has to be all of us.
22:06 Which are changes in society which advance their agenda. We are going to take the powers to make sure that we can quarantine people.
22:25 And soon an uneasy feeling swept over me. What if Icke was right?
22:33 You go and look at your children and your grandchildren in the eye and you justify to them you doing nothing.
22:47 Daddy, what were you doing when the global fascist state came in and the economic system was destroyed and now we have to do everything the state says? What were you doing?
23:01 Daddy, I was just sitting there, darling. All the bloody best with that conversation.
23:12 What was I doing? What if we were being lied to?
23:25 The world was in total chaos and I needed some answers. There was only one thing to do. I had to have David Icke back on London Real.
23:56 I woke up with an uneasy feeling that morning. We were experiencing a total loss of reality. Humanity was passing through its dark night of the soul.
24:17 When I went to my studio that day, I felt like a criminal, alone in the streets of London, disobeying orders.
24:29 One thing was real. I could feel something dark surrounding all of this. All of us.
24:38 I am expecting David Icke to be here and going live in about two hours. And look, I’ll be honest, I’m a little worried. I’m a little concerned.
24:48 I’m not one to be paranoid. I’m not one to engage in conspiracy theories, but there’s a lot of people out there that would probably prefer this interview does not happen.
24:56 And look, I know we’re going to get a lot of heat for this, and I’ve had many, many people tell me not to broadcast again with David Icke.
25:33 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
25:43 This is London Real. I am Brian Rose. My guest today is David Icke. It’s been 19 days since you last came on the show. Honestly, I didn’t even know if we’d make it to this moment. I thought we might be shut down today. Where do we start?
25:55 So this is the headline to start with, which will shock a lot of people, I’m sure. There is no COVID-19. It doesn’t exist.
26:12 This COVID-19 scam hoax has been designed to create in very fast time the very global centralisation of power that I have been highlighting for 30 years was coming.
26:28 People have said to me over the years, a few people can’t control the world, that’s ridiculous. They’ve got half the freaking world locked down under house arrest. A tiny few people, in a matter of weeks.
26:46 People started getting ill for whatever reason in China, and the Chinese authorities took genetic material from the fluid in the lungs of people who got ill. Only a few, a very small number.
27:09 They decided that what was causing the illness was a virus. But at no time did they isolate that so-called virus from the rest of the genetic material.
27:30 Now, let’s look at this RT-PCR test. The inventor of the test, what did he say? This test should not be used to diagnose infectious disease.
27:46 99% of people who have died from COVID-19 in Italy have had one, two, three or more other health problems for which they were in hospital or for which they were suffering.
28:08 We got into this freaking mess through acquiescence to power. All of that power is simply our perception that it has power.
28:26 We now have the chance to break the spell, the mind spell, and see behind the curtain.
28:36 This cult is terrified of that. It’s terrified of fearless people, because fear is its currency of control. And you know what? I don’t fear them.
28:55 And that’s why I am more powerful than they are. And they freaking know it.
29:06 And their biggest fear, ’cause it’s over then, is humanity awakening to what the freaking hell is really going on.
29:20 What the hell just happened? There’s no **** way that you could just do that. You cannot do this.
29:32 YouTube completely removed the entire interview with Icke. It took me **** down.
29:43 My first reaction was to re-upload the video, but they kept taking it down.
29:57 I never would have thought YouTube would have banned our video. Like, why?
30:05 I don’t know what’s going on. Our video was banned from YouTube. I’ve never seen anything like this. The stream today was the biggest we’ve ever seen. Second most popular YouTube stream in the world today. This can’t be right.
30:19 I’d spent 9 years uploading thousands of videos, and never once had anything been removed. What the hell was going on?
30:33 The next morning, I woke up with a surprise on the BBC website. YouTube tightens rules after David Icke 5G interview.
30:46 It changed its rules after the BBC questioned why the video was permitted.
30:52 Today, I am on the front page of the BBC website alongside London Real, but curiously, we’re not mentioned. And if you read the tone of the article, the BBC is implying that they forced YouTube to take down our live stream yesterday with David Icke.
31:09 The last time I checked, we have this little thing in America called the First Amendment, called freedom of speech, as in you’re allowed to say what you want to say. And this other thing in the same amendment called freedom of the press, as in I can print what I want to print.
31:24 And funny enough, both of those human rights have been taken away today in the middle of a lockdown based on this COVID-19 virus.
31:38 The people want to see London Real. The people don’t want the BBC. **** the BBC.
31:46 We were front page news. The whole world was talking about our broadcast.
31:52 London Real had an interview with David Icke. If you take that guy off, you just make him bigger. There’s a giant story that this David Icke podcast was removed from YouTube.
32:01 The idea that only my ideas should get broadcast, because your ideas are contrary to my ideas, I’m going to cut off the pipeline. You’ve got to let that exist.
32:17 I reached out to YouTube demanding an explanation. We were a premium account in their partnership programme, but I got nothing back. They ignored my emails and refused to take my calls.
32:32 They were deliberately avoiding me. Something funny was going on here. So I reached higher and finally got a senior executive on the line.
32:51 There’s been a community guideline strike that made us very worried about your standing on the platform.
33:00 Look, I am here to abide by your community guidelines, but I have to state very frankly that the guidelines are so general, they’re so vague, they’re being constantly updated, that I as a creator, and I would argue many creators, feel it’s completely subjective.
33:19 I sense that you are disagreeing with the community guidelines. You disagree with the removals. And so what is important here is the intention. When there is an intention to comply, creators will do well on the platform.
33:37 You as a creator who’s grown a huge business on YouTube want to be successful and continue to be successful. You may disagree with them, but you need to comply with them.
33:52 But I wasn’t the only one being censored. Every divergent voice got silenced just like us.
34:00 The patients I’m seeing in front of me, the lungs I’m trying to improve, have led me to believe we are operating under a medical paradigm that is untrue.
34:10 We were all labelled as conspiracy theorists. Our thoughts and ideas were considered a danger to public health.
34:17 I don’t think everybody needs to wear a mask and gloves. You should be able to go out without any gloves and without a mask.
34:27 We were being silenced.
34:37 Thousands of you have sent messages regarding the Dr Judy Mikovits interview being taken down. Why was it taken down? Is it censorship?
34:57 And soon I started to realise that I’d been living a lie for almost 10 years.
35:03 I trusted the YouTube mission statement: to help you share your voice to create a better world. The gold button nonsense.
35:16 They don’t give a damn about your message. They don’t care about the positive impact you are able to create in your community.
35:26 For YouTube, creators are just products they can monetise. And you are only useful to them if they can sell your audience to the advertising industry.
35:39 And what happens if an advertiser doesn’t like where their messages are being placed? A bunch of advertisers, fearing backlash, removed their ads entirely from YouTube.
35:56 The advertising revenue is what matters. And in order to make them happy, they have developed some of the most sophisticated techniques of persuasion and censorship known to man.
36:11 Some of these techniques include modifying the algorithms so nobody can find you.
36:18 I ended up getting shadowbanned on social media. People sent me videos of them scrolling through their timeline and I’m not in it, and they follow me, or typing my name into the search and it doesn’t show up.
36:36 Others directly cut the source of revenue from your videos. Have you heard of mass demonetisation? They go through different controversial YouTube channels and demonetise not one, not a handful, not even several, but all of their videos.
37:04 YouTube was demonetising people, and that was one of the ways they got people to self-censor.
37:12 Who is telling me what I can and can’t say? Who the **** are these people? And why are they in my life?
37:34 I’m a little bit freaked out. If I say the word coronavirus, I’m going to be in trouble.
37:41 I actually do understand the frustration and I can empathise with this, and any decision that will be made will be made based on the community guidelines.
38:04 Let’s go back to before. We’re excited to see more awesome content about life optimisation, mental health, all of that stuff. It’s all great.
38:24 I had to make a choice. If I wanted to stay on YouTube, I had to become their passive, compliant, politically correct puppet. And so did everyone else.
38:36 Hi, I’m Brian Rose of London Real. How would you like to turn your passion into a business and live your dreams forever in a world full of rainbows and unicorns and puppy dogs?
38:52 Just pre-brief the speaker, but if there are perhaps any explicit claims, maybe just skip that out or maybe edit it out. We also believe in freedom of speech.
39:06 I would be super mindful about the kind of words you use in the content. Thank you so much and we’ll be in touch.
39:25 Infowars.
39:28 Brian Rose started London Real 9 years ago to fight back against the dehumanisation he saw. His interviews routinely get millions of views. But his David Icke interview was exploding on its way to be one of the biggest podcasts ever. They killed it.
39:48 I’m an advocate for free speech. I always have been. I always will be. For the last nine years, we’ve been putting people’s opinions out there. Until Monday, everything was fine. And then YouTube decided to ban me.
40:06 My rights as a citizen in the UK are now being superseded by these Silicon Valley companies. It’s going too far. This is a civil liberties issue. This is a freedom of speech issue.
40:34 It’s frustrating that they decided to pick me and my channel as the whipping boy. My entire business is based on YouTube. If I get banned, I’m basically out of business.
40:51 I get excited talking to somebody like Brian Rose because he’s got what it takes. We all are allowed to have our opinions, aren’t we?
41:21 Over the next few days, things got even weirder. I checked my other social media accounts.
41:32 LinkedIn had deleted me. Twitter had blocked our website. Facebook and Instagram made us impossible to find. How could they do this?
41:45 Next, my Dropbox account holding all of our content from London Real was blocked and suspended. I could no longer access our entire archive of videos.
41:58 Then our PayPal account, with a balance of over $100,000, was frozen. Without money, I was dead.
42:09 What was next? Our bank account, my personal accounts. This was getting serious.
42:18 Next, my TED talk from 6 years ago disappeared.
42:33 They were deleting me. My entire identity was being systematically erased right in front of my eyes, just like I never existed.
42:44 But how could 10 different multi-billion-dollar technology companies all act at once? Were they being directed by a government or something bigger?
42:54 Who benefits? Now I’m starting to sound like Icke.
43:04 Who would benefit from cancelling me? And then it clicked.
43:11 I’ll tell you what one of the punchlines of this virus is. It’s the bloody vaccine.
43:21 So the World Health Organization is running the show, and you’ve got Silicon Valley saying we are going to censor anyone that challenges the version of events of the World Health Organization.
43:43 We are witnessing the biggest business deal in human history. Governments, technology and big pharma all coming together for a multi-trillion-dollar score.
43:58 Now I understand: this is an information war.
44:13 The victims: our thoughts, our judgement, our opinions. The battleground: our minds.
44:24 The World Health Organization says the world is not only fighting the pandemic, but also an infodemic.
44:31 Where do your perceptions come from? They come from information received. You control the information, you overwhelmingly control perception among those that don’t question.
44:39 Why use guns, tanks and missiles when they have weaponised the very technology through which we communicate?
45:01 They want absolute control of reality. And I’m in the middle of it, jeopardising everything.
45:20 And now they are coming for me. Oh my god. Now I definitely sound like Icke.
45:39 I have been off the platform for the past week, and that is because 7 days ago we were given a strike for our channel, which meant I could not upload or live stream on YouTube for 7 days.
45:55 If we get a second strike, we’ll be gone for two weeks. And if we get a third strike, we’ll be off the platform. Of course, they can deliver those strikes whenever they want.
46:08 The optics of you giving a strike to my channel for a video that’s been up for 8 months, for hate speech: that’s actually very questionable in the middle of all this.
46:32 You don’t necessarily need three strikes for a channel termination.
46:38 OK, so you’re telling me I should expect my channel to be terminated. You’re basically threatening to terminate my channel at any second.
46:50 And then we heard the news about David Icke. YouTube skipped the channel strikes entirely and went straight to deplatforming him. No warning, no phone call, nothing.
47:12 The policy changes all the time and you know you are only one piece of content away from termination.
47:52 I think it’s only a matter of time before we are removed from that platform. And it pains me to know that that actually might happen. Nearly nine years, almost 8,000 videos, half a billion views, 2 million subscribers.
48:08 I know that content has literally saved people’s lives, ’cause they’d come up to me on the street and say, “Brian, you’ve literally saved my life. You saved me from suicide, from alcoholism, from drug addiction.”
48:17 To think that all that content is just going to disappear and be gone. It made me get a little emotional. If you have any favourite videos on London Real, I would recommend you download them now, because they might not be there tomorrow.
48:34 It was the end of London Real. Everything I had fought for would disappear. Everybody would forget these moments.
48:51 The day that Chris Eubank stood up in front of me and showed the world what a warrior truly is. The warrior doesn’t dream of frontiers. He only sees horizons.
49:03 Or when Dan Peña cried. I love you very much. I also hate you very much. We honour you, and to your future.
49:22 When the Iceman reminded us how to breathe. If people are wrong, it’s because they don’t feel good. If you don’t feel good, you should breathe.
49:36 Ido Portal taught us how to move. The best reason to move is because you can.
49:58 When a legend like Jane Goodall showed us how to care. We need money to live, but it goes wrong when we live for money, and that’s what leads to corruption.
50:15 Or the pain I experienced when I spoke about my addictions.
50:28 Or when Eddie Hall, the strongest man on earth, opened up and showed us what vulnerability truly means. I made the promise to my nan on her deathbed that I would win the World’s Strongest Man one day.
50:54 It was here that I had shared my fears without being judged.
51:08 Hours and hours of content carefully crafted to empower others to create a more conscious species. All lost. The work of 10 years. My whole life. All gone.
51:32 You know, when you take away London Real, you take away my entire method of staying me, of coping with everything. That’s what gives me purpose. That’s what gives me life. That’s what gives me sobriety.
51:53 You take that away and then what am I? Then I slide back into these self-destructive, nihilistic habits that happen when you’re self-centred, which is my default.
52:14 I remember going to buy a bottle, just to get drunk so I could escape my reality that I couldn’t handle. And the guilt, the shame.
52:52 Going twice around the store, having to face familiar faces that had seen me the day before, buying two or three bottles. Hey, Brian’s back again. ‘Cause he can’t handle reality.
53:48 But then I realised, after 9 years at London Real, I was a different person.
53:56 So many guests had come on and changed my life, had shown me new ways of thinking, new ways of feeling, new ways of connecting.
54:07 In a weird way, London Real prepared me to lose London Real.
54:16 If you can’t control your own brain and your brain controls you, you’re ****. Nobility of purpose. That’s it.
54:45 It’s not what happens to somebody, it’s what they do as a result of it. What if the worst thing that happened to you becomes the best thing that happened to you?
55:12 When you lose everything, you realise who you truly are.
55:21 The pandemic took away everything we had taken for granted. It forced each one of us to face our personal demons.
55:34 But we were all united in our struggle. This was our fight. And slowly it was making all of us stronger.
55:49 And right when I felt the most isolated, the most withdrawn, I realised I was not alone.
55:58 I’m walking through Hampstead Heath, minding my own business, and I bumped into these lovely ladies. You cover a lot of issues that people are wanting to question. People are not getting answers from our prime ministers.
56:18 There were people everywhere who felt the exact same way I did.
56:23 Seriously, Brian’s not causing any harm. He’s not telling anyone to do any wrong. Open your heart, your mind, and actually think for yourself.
56:30 This wasn’t just me being silenced. It was all of us.
56:43 The real revolution starts within. That’s a great message.
56:48 And now everyone was fighting back. I bump into these people every single day. All different types, all different economic backgrounds, races, religions, creeds, countries, nationalities. They’re all saying the same thing: keep broadcasting.
57:03 A movement was forming right in front of my eyes. They called themselves the London Real Army. They got together to fight for their rights. I never imagined this in my wildest dreams.
57:24 Soon, my inboxes were flooded with support. We saw fan art, street actions, and more. They even created their own rap song.
58:13 Yes, YouTube could take away my platform, but they will never take away this. This is pure human connection and it will always belong to us.
58:42 I’m learning. Life is happening for me, not to me. If it was happening to me, I’m a victim. No, it’s happening for me. It’s building me into a stronger person, a better communicator. It’s uniting all of us around one message.
58:58 Thank you, YouTube. Thank you, Facebook. Thank you, LinkedIn. Thank you, Ofcom.
59:11 We have an army now. We need a mission. We must get Icke to come back. He is our symbol of freedom of speech.
59:32 It was Brian who suggested that we needed to get David back. Our plan was to stream this episode to over a million people, and we set a date. We were going to do this in 16 days.
59:53 And then I said to Brian, I think we can launch this crowdfunding campaign to develop a new platform, an independent platform, a platform that allows us to broadcast.
1:00:03 We called it the Digital Freedom Platform. We launched this last night just before midnight, looking to raise $100,000.
1:00:15 We hit that first $100,000 in 18 hours. It just blew me away.
1:00:34 I want to be with Brian Rose and David Icke in the universe. I feel the wealth of our community together and the spirit rising. That is the future and that will never be defeated.
1:00:54 We will not be silenced. We will not be stopped. We will not be censored. Join the resistance. Join London Real and let’s do this.
1:01:10 The founder of London Real: you had the largest viewed broadcast on YouTube, second only to a broadcast of President Trump. What happened after that broadcast?
1:01:22 I’ve been locked in a battle for our most basic fundamental human right, freedom of speech, or in this case, what I call digital freedom of speech. I might not agree with everything you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
1:01:38 So we decided to fight back and keep broadcasting these so-called banned conversations. And we created the Digital Freedom Platform, a censorship-free, independent broadcasting system that is of the people, by the people, for the people.
1:02:05 We have decided to stream what we’re calling Rose/Icke 3, to stream concurrently with a million people, not on a major platform. My technical guys ran the analysis and it’s $100,000 for that one two-hour stream.
1:02:31 We started a crowdfunding platform yesterday, and in just over 24 hours, we’ve raised a quarter of a million dollars for the Digital Freedom Platform.
1:02:40 You’re going to get persecuted for this. But they shouldn’t be scared of the persecution. It’s rough up front, but it just gets better every time you go through that storm.
1:02:55 It’s rough at the front lines of the battlefield, and soon London Real had attracted every hater on the planet.
1:03:10 But the attacks didn’t just come from other media channels. I started receiving insults and criticism from everyday people like you and me.
1:03:21 Suddenly, our neighbours became this new form of self-appointed police, who used these new rules as their excuse to feel powerful and entitled, channelling their fear into hate against anyone that refused to comply.
1:03:39 But I guess that’s what happens when you go against the approved narrative. And now I could understand what David Icke had been dealing with for over 30 years.
1:04:12 The best way of removing negativity is to laugh and be joyous. So I’m delighted that there’s so much laughter in the audience tonight. They’re laughing at you. They’re not laughing with you.
1:04:37 And I guess as humans, we will always need to put other people down to make ourselves feel good.
1:04:44 Humans have outsheeped the sheep, because at least the sheep need a sheepdog to keep them in line. Humans keep each other in line, and they do it by ridiculing or condemning anyone who commits the crime of being different.
1:05:07 When you’ve been through that level of ridicule, one of two things happens. Either you disappear from society, or you go: I am me. I am free.
1:05:23 I couldn’t afford to pay attention to the critics. Time was running out.
1:05:29 First, I needed to build a whole new team. We were a few guys putting videos on YouTube, not a software company. We needed programmers, web designers and more. And do you remember, we were in lockdown? No one was working.
1:05:56 We’ve been working tirelessly, trying to build technology that should take years to build and millions of dollars to build. And outside, the world was getting crazier and crazier.
1:06:06 The British government is now funding two multi-million-dollar vaccine trials. Oxford University researchers will begin a safety trial on humans tomorrow.
1:06:17 We’ve never tested this, because we’ve never had the chance to put millions of people on this player.
1:06:29 Hello, Mr Rose. We’re just calling with regard to your upcoming live stream. We would like to inform you that unfortunately we cannot proceed, but we wish you all the best of luck. Goodbye.
1:06:41 We got a phone call from the provider we were going to use, from their chief executive, and he said, we can’t work with you. I said, why? He said, we’re making a business decision. And he just said, sorry, you’re going to find someone else.
1:06:58 So literally on a Saturday we’re calling people in Silicon Valley, and each one ultimately said no. And we all looked at each other and thought, this doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.
1:07:10 I felt it was a moment of personal crisis.
1:07:17 I said to my programme director, let’s give this one more roll. Let’s just reach out to one more company. And they said yes. This was a company that live streamed the Super Bowl two years ago.
1:07:35 We effectively had to rebuild our entire technology processes in the studio in terms of how we broadcast that live stream. I had to work with our development team, our design team and our production team as quickly as we could, to make sure the new technology was going to be ready to roll.
1:07:56 We’re going to quadruple-cast this stream when it goes live. We’re going to stream it live on YouTube, on Facebook, on Dailymotion and on [another platform]. The idea is that when it gets yanked from YouTube and Facebook ten minutes in, it keeps going on Dailymotion and [the other platform]. Dailymotion is our backup plan.
1:08:22 OK, we’re going to head in soon and go see David. We’ve got all our cameras here, a bunch of security people as well. And we’re going to make this thing happen.
1:08:46 Hey, Mr Icke. How are you, man? Good to see you. You’ve done a fantastic job, you fellas. Unbelievable.
1:08:58 Thanks, David. We’re going to go down the back entrance, just to make sure we get you in safe.
1:09:51 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
1:10:02 This is London Real. I am Brian Rose. My guest today is David Icke. David, I want to thank you for 30 years of tireless work and for your own conviction to fight on. And now I’ve got one question for you. Where do we begin?
1:10:15 Well, welcome to my world, Brian. And before I say anything, I think what you and your team have done is absolutely magnificent, because the cutting edge, as I know from 30 years of trying to be there, is a very lonely place. It’s the point of the arrow, so there’s not many people there.
1:10:39 And to be there, you have to first of all have a constantly open mind to information. But you have to have a backbone that won’t vibrate. One that says, I’m going to stand up for what I believe to be right, and no matter what is thrown at me, I will go on standing up for what I believe to be right.
1:11:14 I said to you in the last interview, and some people might have thought it was a bit of bravado, I said I’m more powerful than them and they know it. And within minutes of the interview ending, they were proving me right.
1:11:40 You can see here the number of users online: numbers that I haven’t experienced in my professional career. These numbers are just spectacular.
1:11:50 The lockdown has never been necessary except for two things. One, destroying the livelihoods of vast numbers of people so that they become dependent on the state. And two, to say if you want normality, you’ve got to have the vaccine.
1:12:15 Humans are being pushed apart. Humans are being told to fear each other. Social distancing is happening in the same way all over the world, ’cause it’s centrally dictated. It’s there to keep people apart.
1:12:50 If you’re wearing a mask and I’m wearing a mask, there’s no facial expression, there’s no human interaction. It’s totally a psychological game.
1:13:08 It looks like we’ve hit 1.2 million.
1:13:15 We are now living in a global version of Nazi Germany. We are in a state of fascism.
1:13:27 What YouTube and Facebook and Google are doing, in deleting people for no other reason than they are challenging the official narrative: that only happens in fascist or communist regimes.
1:13:48 I see a way out of this, but only if you stop acquiescing and say we’re not having it, and we are going to live our lives as we choose and not as you tell us.
1:14:11 We are love. That’s what we are. Everything else is what we are programmed to perceive that we are. And that’s the enslavement.
1:14:27 And I’m seeing this in more and more people. They are expanding their awareness and they’re starting to see with new eyes. And the key is opening this.
1:14:40 You lose the fear that is the human prison, because love does not fear. Love is the absence of fear, as evil is the absence of love.
1:15:02 This has a power of its own. Banned by Facebook, banned by YouTube: water off a duck’s back to this. ‘Cause this is what’s going to change the world.
1:15:23 When I say I have more power than these people have, that’s the reason, because they don’t have that. Psychopaths don’t have open hearts. They are heartless. That’s why they do what they do.
1:15:39 Well, David, I had an experience 26 days ago, after our last episode, where I opened my heart and just said, out of love, the right thing to do is to say no. We’re not having it. And the brain said, that’s a really bad idea, Brian. And the gut said, you’re making a big mistake.
1:16:02 And when I moved forward, I got nothing but other people around the world, millions of them now, that opened their hearts up and said, yes, we resonate with that. And it’s changed the game entirely. Everything I feared has not happened. None of it’s happened.
1:16:19 In fact, I’ve been shocked and surprised by the amount of positive energy that’s come our way. Things have literally opened up in front of us.
1:16:34 And that frequency, if you express it at a level where you live it rather than think it, will attract to you everything you need to achieve doing what you know to be right.
1:16:58 What I think is funny is the last 30 minutes we’ve been talking about love, and this is what they want to ban people from hearing. They know that is going to bring them down. They want us arguing and conflicting and shouting at each other. It’s their worst nightmare.
1:17:24 David, thank you so much. I really appreciate you. I think we’ve done some great work today.
1:17:30 I misunderstood you years ago as well, just like most people do when they first hear about you. But every single conversation we’ve had, David, I said, this man is speaking truth.
1:17:48 This has been epic. And that’s the way home, people. Open the door and everything changes.
1:18:14 Icke was just the beginning. The Digital Freedom Platform became the place where anyone could speak in an uncensored way.
1:18:34 We no longer needed the tech companies to stream our messages to the world.
1:18:39 It’s not just your right to speak, it’s my right to listen.
1:18:44 Over the next two years, we streamed over 50 episodes and three documentary films.
1:18:49 The three phases of truth: the first is ridicule, the second is violent opposition, and the third is accepting it as always having been known.
1:19:29 As time passed, the truth started to come out and more people started speaking freely without fear.
1:19:52 Free speech is the foundation of a free society. That’s why it’s the first freedom guaranteed.
1:20:06 A lot of the stuff that they called misinformation in the past, that got you kicked off, is now mainstream news.
1:20:12 A lot of what we were told is now being revisited.
1:20:17 The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident.
1:20:27 Today, we have a glimpse of what was going on behind the curtains. Musk has released internal documents revealing what some experts assess to be proof of government censorship at the highest levels.
1:20:41 Does the BBC hold itself at all responsible for misinformation? And what about the fact that the BBC was put under pressure by the British government to change its editorial policy?
1:21:05 And soon we will experience another wave of fear. The next pandemic will not wait for us.
1:21:28 Today everything is back to normal. The pandemic is now a vague memory, like a bad dream. Everyone has gone back to their lives like nothing ever happened.
1:21:53 We forgot how they used fear to take away our freedoms. How they silenced our voices and stopped us from listening.
1:22:10 You probably think this will never happen again. But it will. We made this movie so you will never forget.
1:22:37 Come on, let’s do this. Good evening, London Realers. Welcome to the world premiere of London Real’s sixth feature-length documentary film, We Will Not Be Silenced. This is our fight for this most basic fundamental human right, and that is freedom of speech. It’s that simple.
1:23:01 Now, a lot of you know that four weeks ago, London Real was completely deplatformed from YouTube. But when they silence us, they show us how powerful we truly are.
1:23:16 London Real has been the greatest thing of my entire life. These last 12 years have been the best of my life, thanks to you and all the energy that I got from you around the world.
1:23:31 And I want to thank a few other people. I want to thank the folks at YouTube and the folks at Facebook. I want to thank the folks at PayPal and at Dropbox and at LinkedIn. All the people that got rid of me in 2020. I want to thank the folks over at the BBC. I want to thank the governments. I want to thank Ofcom.
1:23:54 And I want to thank them for the following reason. Because before, I was an advocate for free speech. But now I’m a fanatic.
1:24:09 Every hour of every day, I am going to be accelerating this mission. Now I know exactly what I’m going to do for the rest of my life.
1:24:18 Because ultimately, we will not be silenced. We will not be censored. And we will not be stopped.
