In it, but not of it - Thomas Sheridan

追加: 2026-05-09

[00:00:03]Good morning all you gorgeous bastards.

[00:00:05]It's a fine May morning here in the northwest of Ireland. It's getting a bit warm. It's quite nice, very pleasant, not overcast. Good day for doing things, you know, like it's a it's one of those days where the weather is just right, but in it's not too cold, not too hot. You can do anything on a day like this. It's a great day for all kinds of things. It's a good day for art, creativity.

[00:00:30]So, I hope you're all keeping well.

[00:00:33]Tomorrow night on Unknown Machine, I'll post the link in the comments below.

[00:00:38]I'll pin it. There is the is the next members Q&A.

[00:00:45]So, you have to join up. It's not that expensive. It's worth it, too. There's loads of hidden content that we behind there and lots more coming. Uh, so you have to be you have to be an unknown mechanic to actually be involved to ask the questions. So, uh, that will be tomorrow 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Irish time.

[00:01:05]And, uh, on and I'll post the LinkedIn tomorrow. So, I hope to see as many as like Lo just came last time. We had great fun. So, I hope to see the same numbers this time.

[00:01:16]So, uh, another thing is, uh, I don't want to send good energies out to our friend John Waters. John is I think he's a bit run down at the moment. He's not feeling too well. And he basically signed off on his Substack last night, which I think is very sad, but, you know, if you read his articles, they're they're like herculean, and it was some job to put them together. Maybe he'll come back some other way doing shorter articles. I I don't know, less regular, but it's a shame really. But, you know, I I understand what it's like to be burnt out with this stuff and so I can't blame him. So, send him some good vibes and uh to him and his family and um yeah, I mean, there's a definite sense of change in the air at the moment. I feel it.

[00:02:10]And um I don't know if you know is it good, is it bad? I don't know. It's to me personally, I think from an Irish perspective, I don't know how it is in your country, but I I think that those those fuel protests unleash some very dark forces. Very dark forces.

[00:02:31]And I think they're they're almost like egregor of despondency.

[00:02:34]There were people who generally wely believed that on Monday morning there were there was going to be a people's a new government in Ireland uh in Dairon and Lensster House of a people's assembly and they would be there and all the all the all the all the ones in charge now be all thrown out and Monday morning came and the vested interests in farming and transport got their sweet deal. That's all they ever wanted. the IP pass propheteers. I'm not saying all now just that a certain band of type of them fina go and the back and fina fall fina gale and all the people they had manipulated into believing that this was a sort of like a velvet a velvet revolution of sorts and uh they had used and manipulated and exploited and got them to say things like you know no farmers no food and got people in cities and towns to support them even though they had locked them down with with a lockdown.

[00:03:36]Uh those people woke up on Monday morning going where's our revolution? What what what and so that has launched an enormous amount of despondency uh from people who don't see the problem like I got attacked from people on our side by calling it out at the very start. I said, "I don't trust this thing. I I don't like it. It has an Occupy vibe about it. And who are these people leading it? I don't trust them. I don't like the look of them. I don't like who they are." And um the fact that the the mainstream media like RT and the Irish Times left their comment sections opened when they locked those things down during far right things. They were, it seemed to me, they were encouraging it. And so It it it unleashed some dark energies that thing cuz things have changed. Even in the alternative scene, I can like there's a vibe. I can feel it. There's a there's a there's a there's there's a there's it it it fragmented things.

[00:04:45]There was a nice there was always a nice friendly, easygoing vibe amongst everybody in that scene in the alternative scene, whether they represented a political or a more kind of creative philosophical thing like me and all the different colors in between.

[00:05:02]There's a bit of a I could feel it. It's it's not pleasant.

[00:05:07]And um I think too many people in our side thought that they could actually piggyback or doveetail into that into the fuel protest to sort of push things.

[00:05:17]But the even during at the height of it, there was no discussion about digital ideas and anything like that. And uh it was all no farmers, no food, no farmers, no Mercedes, no farmers, no $200,000 euro tractor. And um 80% of our food is imported anyway.

[00:05:39]Thanks to the EU, which the farmers have always unconditionally supported and always will. They're the main reason Ireland is in the European Union and every treaty has passed.

[00:05:50]So you you made your bed with the wrong people and there's been a fallout and there's a sense of despondency and lost direction. People will gather up and and and regroup and do it again. But I'm done. I want nothing to do anymore.

[00:06:06]I look from a very what you know Bill Cooper Bill Cooper he said the most heartbreaking thing that ever he ever had to deal with was realizing that the sheeple were exactly like what the the elites said they were.

[00:06:30]He says they were ex the sheeple were exactly like what the globalist said they were. Now that's how I've always felt about them. You know that like through the rona days and everything I've always felt that way about them.

[00:06:44]And if you get involved with them it's like the whole thing you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas. And they a a lot of them have like tainted their be their presence taints things because the sheeple are in who were way all behind this fuel protest because you know they was a chance for them to sing sweet Caroline at Gway docks and things like that who you know like I can remember like like let's let's talk at great events in Irish history what's called great events Okay.

[00:07:20]In recent Irish history, onethird of the population of Ireland, I think it was more than one third, I think it was like half of Ireland went to see the Pope John Paul in 1979, not because they were devout Catholics, but because they were sheeple.

[00:07:40]the the the the the Irish went nuts during Italian 90 and USA 94 and not because they were foot soccer and football fans because they were sheep and they got involved in the farmers protest fuel protest not because they really believed in anything they were against digital IDs and all this stuff no because they were sheeple and sheeple got a sheep and I have Oh, and uh people have said to me over the years, you really shouldn't use that term to describe them. Oh, I could think of a lot worse. I could think of a lot worse. That's one of the more milder terms I could think to describe them.

[00:08:20]Now, that doesn't mean I hate them.

[00:08:22]Doesn't mean I despise them, but I do know the limitations and the the baggage that sheep sheepilization brings towards anything. It corrupts it and turns it into a gigantic farce.

[00:08:38]And that's what happened during the field protests toward into a gigantic farce.

[00:08:46]And there was a I can feel now there's a sense of darkness. There's a sense of despondency. There's a sense of there's a bit of fragmentation.

[00:08:56]Like someone said to me on Facebook, not everything is a scopup, Sheridan.

[00:09:02]No, that's true. Not everything is a soy up but the field protests were you like John like did Johnny Rotten in the last the last tour of America in the Sex Pistols ever had the feeling you've been had? You've been had, you were had, you were had.

[00:09:17]And instead of blaming me, blame yourself first of all for getting all emotional because you were seeing someone with a guitar singing Sweet Caroline, getting all emotional cuz you've seen all these people marching and you and you throw your whole hopes into it. And then the following Monday morning, the people that you thought were going to be arrested are still running the country.

[00:09:40]And you're looking That's what you're like and then the despondency hits in the despondency hits in and that's why there's a lot of lot of darkness in the alternative scene now in Ireland. Not for me. I am quite feeling quite good actually because um see this is what this is one of the things I've been always grateful for me in this is that I'm not in this in any political degree I've always avoided the politics I've um you can't put a beat on me really even though I don't like mass immigration it's u I've got lots of friends who are black and Jewish you know other colors and races and gay and everything. And uh I don't conform to any stereotypes that it can never put a bead on me. I'm not anti-abortion. It doesn't mean I'm proabortion. I said it's abortion an unnecessary medical procedure sometimes. But yeah, I'm not I don't go I don't rail against that. I'm not a Christian. I don't have a pair of rosary beads. So I'm left alone for the most part cuz they can't figure me out.

[00:10:55]be be un indescribable.

[00:10:59]It's kind of, you know, it's you're always going to go down the wrong path if you follow the wrong people. The things you always follow yourself. Don't even don't follow anyone. Don't follow me. Follow yourself. Like I was I was just thinking there with Deera the other day, Aman Deera.

[00:11:18]Aan Deera whose origins we don't actually know. Well, we know that he was born in New York.

[00:11:25]Um, in 1916 uprising, he had a chance to take out the British and probably almost would have won. He was in the he was commanding a garrison at Bolan's Mill and 17 fellas, Irish volunteers, had held down an entire British army at Mount Street Bridge just using sniper fire. Uh, the casualty numbers for the British army was off the scale. And um all Dealer had to do was lead his garrison out to attack the to attack the British from the side. And the the British probably would have lost in 1916 or would have been it would have been an amazing victory to capture like thousands of British troops which he probably would have done cuz they were they were in unfamiliar territory. They were not trained to fight in an urban warfare. They were being badly beaten at that at that point.

[00:12:20]and people described him as being in a confused and state. Then he took a British soldier hostage and used it to kind of like surrender himself. He sang like a bird while he was in custody.

[00:12:33]Used his US citizenship to get himself so the story goes to get himself out of uh being executed for treason.

[00:12:45]then goes to England, sings some more, apparently seems to become an MI5 agent, comes back to Ireland, even though 73% of the Irish people had voted in favor of the treaty, starts a civil war because part of the treaty was to to swear an allegiance to the king of England, the king the king of Great Britain, whatever the [ __ ] he is. And uh the civil war we lost Michael Collins, Cahill Brewer, and Harry Bolan and thousands of other lives. And then that was over. He becomes T-shock and still takes the oath of allegiance to the [ __ ] king. So he he calls the civil war over nothing. Over nothing.

[00:13:35]Why? Because you play on people's emotions. It's not a treaty. It's blah blah blah blah blah. Michael Collins's attitude was it's a treaty towards a republic. It's a stepping stone. We're not going to get they were never going to give you Republican at the in one go.

[00:13:49]And uh Collins was right because they did get the Republic in 37. Uh but and people followed this guy and he betrayed them and uh it's because they were they went with the emotional element of it. He was the only one who survived 1916 and therefore he was kind of was like a saint. He was like a he was almost like a Christlike figure.

[00:14:17]And even 1916 is an interesting kind of sheep study. The when the when the the fighting was over the center of Dublin was in ruins most and mo and all the it was caused by the British shelling of cities in a center wasn't caused by the rebels. They were just they they didn't have any he heavy artillery and um people in Dublin were like the city's wrecked. What the [ __ ] have these [ __ ] done? But then when they were executed, the British started executing them. The public sentiment changed very quickly on a it flipped on a dime and it changed everything because it became real. it became real to them like these guys are willing to die and that was part of the strategy. They were they were hoping not hoping that the British executed but they were be betting on it that if it did happen that the the British would like over compensate and do something stupid which they did.

[00:15:17]So but it's there's a there's a study there in kind of like how the people went for it and then how we ended up in this situation and it's the same in every country. Like I was I was watching a documentary there the other night about this place in there were communities that set up all over places like remote areas of West Virginia where Union and Confederate soldiers were sick and tired of the American Civil War and just deserted and went to live as like free men in the the backwoods of like West Virginia and stuff like that forming small communities which actually grew into proper towns as well. And it's the same thing there was the the there's the that they got the instead of sitting around and fighting for someone like Abraham Lincoln who was like not a nice person when you start looking into his history. I mean he had no intention of freeing the the the blacks in America.

[00:16:10]None at all. He uh he had to go on speeches to the Midwest to tell people that your sons weren't dying for the Negroes and this kind of thing. and he only had granted emancipation because he needed black guys to be in the army to fight the confederates and uh it was really all about tariffs and trade and states rights. He I mean it but but people got all emotionally fired up and from both sides and went to war against us for nothing and then eventually the ones who who said to hell with this and dropped out.

[00:16:45]That's that's that's the ones I I I that's the world I like. non-compliance, the the dis the sort of like the the insurgent who doesn't fight but refuses, walks away and they understand they have to be part of this society. There's nothing you can do about there are no utopias.

[00:17:05]But if you can form even a one man or one woman insurgency of try to be in the system, you have to be in the system because there's no way around it. Even if you start any kind of business that's out independent, you're still stuck in their banking system. And you can talk about bartering enough, but bartering doesn't really work. It works on small levels, but it doesn't work. Like people people every time I was ever a bart, you know, a a culture of for barting, it never really worked.

[00:17:37]And uh I remember years ago some town in Ireland had introduced their own firm of money and it was like a token kind of thing. It never really took off but they tried and um so you because you still have to be sucked into them into the main thing.

[00:18:03]There's nothing you can do about it.

[00:18:06]So you can be in a the parallel society is the only answer. The only answer I can see. I mean, what did you get from the fuel protest? They're now planning to build an AI god in the center of Dublin.

[00:18:20]This is true. It's not a joke. I thought it was a joke last week when I saw it.

[00:18:24]That was a spoof story. They're literally building a statue, this the Statue of Liberty type AI god.

[00:18:31]um genderless featureless that god an enormous statue that the the they are that they can worship in the center of Dublin that will have AI images projected onto it bringing it to life that's what we got in the end you didn't get your new second republic you didn't get the the [ __ ] dollar you didn't get nothing you didn't get [ __ ] you didn't close the borders you didn't stop digital ID ideas. No, what you got was an AI god um statue that you can worship in the in the future.

[00:19:10]Now, if you still think it's doable, you're you're just you're not thinking straight. You're not thinking straight.

[00:19:16]You see, once you once you dive into the collective, you're dissolving your own power for the collective.

[00:19:28]And when you're whipped up into emotional states, whether they be negative or positive, humans generally don't make good decisions. It's just the nature of things. Just how humans are. They generally do not make good decisions in their lives and they're usually counterproductive when they're going with the flow, whipped up. But if you have the ability to not be hooked into that, not you see again I know you're not going to say here here come Sher and bashing Christianity again. But it's true.

[00:20:11]Christianity tells you that don't forget everything in this life. either you know do what we tell you and you get reward in the next life or in this life hold on maybe the savior will come. So you the savior then gets transferred into all kinds of saviors all kinds of you know John Waynees riding over the hill at the end of the film. It never happens never happens.

[00:20:44]And like that this this what me I've been studying like I told you the Eastern German societies lately in the end of the cold war and they were basically they they had the couple from the communism in terms of a psychic thing and were off doing their own thing and that's the answer. Yeah. But they were still living in the eastern block.

[00:21:04]They were still the Soviet Red Army over the borders if they tried to go for their freedom. But they found a way to to like live their lives regardless. And then the what happened then the Soviet Union fell apart and the same thing will happen to the European Union eventually and to the globalists. All we have to do is wait. But in the meantime, you can be like what they were like in the old Soviet block and live a parallel life.

[00:21:32]Yeah, you have to be in the system. You know, all these free men types telling people not to pay taxes and all this.

[00:21:39]No, and then getting themselves locked up in prison or all this other stuff or voting for the right get the ballot box will will will save us, you know. No, you you need to think of yourself and finding a way. Okay, I have this, I have a job, I have responsibilities because I can tell you there's only two there's only there's only okay, they always have this notion there'll be a peaceful or a velvet revolution and they always cite Prague and that's that's and but you know not Prague, Czechoslovakia, right?

[00:22:13]But the thing is that was a very different situation.

[00:22:17]At firstly, the Soviet Union had already been gone by then, a couple of years.

[00:22:21]So, it wasn't going to be like 68 when Soviet tanks came over the border or Hungary in 56 when the Soviet tanks came over the border. So, they never got they weren they weren't going to deal with that. Secondly, Czechoslovakia was a fake nation created like Yugoslavia in World War I out of the the remains of these, you know, unified states, Bohemia and Slovakia, uh from the um well, not even Slovakia.

[00:22:49]It was a few other things were there from the the ruins of the Austrohungarian Empire. So, it wasn't a real country to begin with. And so, the checks and the Slovac split.

[00:23:00]It was an amiable split. That's why we we have this this notion of it. Oh, that was a nice re. It was really like they all said, you know, you we'll [ __ ] off if you [ __ ] off. The other side went, "Yeah, we'll [ __ ] off. See you. Bye."

[00:23:12]And that's how it really happened.

[00:23:14]That's what really happened there. And again, there was no Soviet tanks going to come over the border.

[00:23:20]Uh so like you're not going to get that here ever. We know elections don't work.

[00:23:25]People who think the ballot box works no democracy is evil. I've come to the come to the conclusion that democracy is evil and it's all rigged. I mean you look at you look at in Ireland right now you had Maria Stein who's a a devout Catholic but I actually would support her because she comes across having a lot of intellect and class. She was basically stopped from running. But yet the Senate has something like you know this traveler woman who can barely articulate and calls the flag the tri flag. That won't work. The only thing that will work outside violence, which is not going to happen, is a parallel society. Okay, I'll make another video later. Take care.
