He joins James for his third appearance on the delingpod to discuss active citizens building parallel systems of culture, economic output, and governance for universal human benefit.https://substack.com/@riseukhttps://pattern18.substack.com/↓ Monetary Metals is providing a true alternative to saving and earning in dollars by making it possible to save AND EARN in gold and silver. Monetary Metals has been paying interest on gold and silver for over 8 years. Right now, accredited investors can earn 12% annual interest on silver, paid in silver in their latest silver bond offering. For example, if you have 1,000 ounces of silver in the deal, you receive 120 ounces of silver interest paid to your account in the first year. Go to the link in the description or head to https://monetary-metals.com/delingpole/ to learn more about how to participate and start earning a return on honest money again with Monetary Metals. ↓ ↓ How environmentalists are killing the planet, destroying the economy and stealing your children's future. In Watermelons, an updated edition of his ground-breaking 2011 book, James tells the shocking true story of how a handful of political activists, green campaigners, voodoo scientists and psychopathic billionaires teamed up to invent a fake crisis called ‘global warming’.This updated edition includes two new chapters which, like a geo-engineered flood, pour cold water on some of the original’s sunny optimism and provide new insights into the diabolical nature of the climate alarmists’ sinister master plan.Purchase Watermelons (2024) by James Delingpole here: https://jamesdelingpole.co.uk/Shop/Products/Watermelons-2024.html↓ ↓ ↓ Buy James a Coffee at:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/jamesdelingpole The official website of James Delingpole:https://jamesdelingpole.co.uk x

0:00.0	Welcome to the DeliPod with me, James DeliPod. I know I always say I'm excited about the
0:17.6	sweet special guest but I am absolutely dying to hear what Ben Rubin has to tell me about
0:24.9	all sorts of interesting things. I just put it in context. Ben sent me a very intriguing email
0:33.3	which I completely ignored for about a month, wasn't it Ben or something, or I just get
0:38.4	led to stuff. You're a busy man James. I'm a busy man and then I read it and I thought this looks
0:46.7	like a really good story and it's the kind of ordinary person who believes in the system
0:55.2	mugged by reality and suddenly discovers how deep the rabbit hole goes. Is that sort of a fair
1:04.2	summary? Yes, yeah I'd say so. So before we go on, I, I don't know about you but I've always had
1:15.3	this suspicion about the cult of the NHS. There are various things that have puzzled me about it
1:22.9	for years, even when I was a normal, even when I didn't really understand how deep the rabbit hole
1:29.0	went. And there were things that didn't make sense. For example, I never understood the imperative

1:57.6	was very rare anyway, he would have to, or she would have to sort of genuflect and before the
2:03.0	ultra of the NHS and make the cross-signs by explaining how wonderful the nurses were and
2:07.9	how marvelous it had been when their mum had breast cancer. And all these preambles before saying
2:15.2	but actually I had a bad experience and I'm a bit worried that it's less than perfect.
2:19.8	And I've always looked at the NHS and thought, hang on, this is a sort of Stalinist healthcare
2:23.7	system, a sort of legacy from the years after the Second World War, created by socialists
2:32.9	on a model that is no longer any use to the world if it ever was. And we keep telling ourselves
2:40.9	it's the envy of the world and actually it's an embarrassment, it's a national embarrassment
