Hello and welcome to my channel, Neil Oliver, that is me.

And this is a new thread on this channel,

and by thread I just mean that there's all sorts of different content on here.

And this is a new bit as a product of the madness that's going on,

radiating out of the Middle East and what's happening there.

It's a place where I want to hear from you.

I want you to come together.

Don't just tell me, tell each other, tell us about what you're seeing coming next and how you are preparing to respond to that inevitability.

How are you keeping saying?

What are you reading? Who are you keeping saying? What are you reading? Who are you listening to?

What are you doing? How's your garden? How are your stores of this, that and whatever?

Let's just come together and share. But before I get into it, let me tell you how you can support

the podcast. Go to patreon.com,

if you will, find me by name. Neil Oliver, sign up. Costs about the same as a price of coffee

from a high street coffee vendor and you get access to everything. There's a ton of history.

We've been at this for years. There's history, there's archaeology, there's

politics, there's comment, there's question and answer sessions every week where I try and

get my head around what everyone else is thinking about. And there are no ads. Go ad free.

You know it makes sense. The link is down there in the notes. Okay, let's keep this going.

Morning family. It is the 4th of April, Saturday, the 4th of April, 2026. It's just two days, I think, since the first post I put out in this thread, which was an invitation to stay in touch.

As the world has caught fire and the flames reach higher, I just wanted to get in ahead of it and establish a hub for communication.

And it seems to have struck a chord.
