I wanna encourage you if you have your Bibles right now, wherever you're at, open them with me to two passages, Matthew chapter six and Hebrews chapter 11. Matthew chapter six, Hebrews chapter 11. We're gonna start at Hebrews chapter 11. This new series is called The Seekers Reward. As we're going into a season of seek, it's important that we understand what the goal of seek is. And so we're gonna find a little bit of what that goal or what the destination is of our fasting and our prayer, and really our relationship with God, of really going after God every single day of our lives. What is the reward for those who will seek the Lord? Hebrews chapter 11, verse six says this, says without faith, it is impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God, must believe in two things, that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently seek him. That he is, or the ESV says that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently seek him. Flip over to Matthew chapter six. These are Jesus's words in the midst of the sermon on the Mount when he's teaching on prayer.  Some translations say he will reward you publicly. In other words, a life of private pursuit results in a life of public reward. There is, here's the connection between these two verses and very rarely do I ever preach thematically. I'll most often, you'll notice, I'll take a large section of scripture, I wanna teach it within context. But in this particular instance, I wanna bring the context and the theme around this idea that God promises that there is a reward in both of these passages that is available to those who will make a decision. And the decision that we are called to make is to seek him with all of our heart. Jeremiah 29, we all know verse 11, we've all got the magnet on the fridge that says I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to bless you and not harm you, plans to give you a future and all, it's a wonderful scripture and we all love that, we've got the bumper sticker, it's the magnet on the fridge, it's quoted at almost every wedding. But what we oftentimes miss is verse number 13 of that.  So God has this promise, he says, if you'll seek me, then you'll find me. When you seek me with all of your heart, then I will be found by you and when you find me, there is a reward that's connected to that pursuit and to that journey of going after the heart of God. And the reward itself is available only to those who will seek God. You see, oftentimes we think, well, everything that we get from God is free. Well, you're absolutely right. Everything that we receive from God, we receive by grace. I'm grateful today that our salvation is not determined upon our good works. Ephesians two is very clear that we're not saved by works less than any man should boast, but it's the grace of God. By faith through grace through faith, we are saved less no one should be able to boast.  But let me tell you this, salvation is absolutely free, but walking in the full reward and the blessing of God will cost you everything because it has to do with what you're pursuing with your heart and with your life. And the blessing of God is conditional. We told our kids this a long time ago. We said, look, we love you unconditionally, but our blessing has conditions. We're not gonna just hand over the keys to our family and the family car and give you money and resources if you're irresponsible. Why? Because that's detrimental to you.   You're gonna, I wanna see what's really on the inside of you before I begin to hand over the keys to the car, the family car.  When my kids were really little, they're full grown, Jane and I raised three awesome kids who are adults now, but when they were little, they loved to play hide and seek.  And so I'd say, all right, guys, here's the deal. You guys close your eyes real tight and count to 50 or count to 100 or whatever they could. And I'm gonna go hide and you've gotta find me. And so they would close their eyes real tight. All right, go dad. And it's like, one, two. And I would book it into another room of the house. Now, here's the deal. If I wanted to hide from my kids, they would never have found me. I could have gone into that little crawl space in the attic behind something that they never would have gone to. And I could still be there today. In fact, some of you parents are like, that's a good idea. That's how I can get a little quiet time to myself. But what I would do is I would run and I would go into a different room or down to the basement and I would hide behind a piece of furniture. But what I would always do is like leave my foot out a little bit. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Leave your foot out or kind of be, you know, turn around and kind of half out in the open. Why? Because I wasn't trying to hide from my kids as much as I was trying to hide for my kids. I wanted them to experience the journey because they found great joy in it. They come around the corner and go, dad, we see you.   It's like, where are you? You're right there in front of me hiding next to the bean bag, but that's okay, where are you? You've got to play it up with kids. Why? Because it's part of the journey. It's part of the interaction. The joy that they experience in finding you produces joy in your heart that they would come and look for you. When God says, seek me, it's not God in his austerity crossing his arms and saying, well, I'm pretty deep and I'm pretty wise and I'm pretty powerful and I'm way beyond you. So if you want to know more about me, then let's see what you got. No, it's God saying, come on, I want your whole heart.   Come on, there's a journey. There's a father, child engagement that can take place. If you are willing to not just go through the motions, not have a peripheral pursuit, not allow God to stay in the blind spots of your life because your eyes are set on other temporal treasures, but every time we go into a season of prayer and fasting and really every single day as we calibrate our hearts towards the presence of God, it's like the Heavenly Father saying, come after me, if you'll seek me with all of your heart, then you'll find me. I'm not hard to find, but you've got to give me your full attention. And if you'll do that, you'll find me. And when you find me, there's a reward. So it's important if we're gonna talk about a seeker's reward over the next couple of weeks, we have to define some terms. We have to talk about what is a seeker and we need to talk about what is the reward for the seeker and then we need to clearly understand what does it take to become a seeker? Do we have to be theologians? Do we have to forget everything else in our lives in order to really seek after God? Let me define some terms for you this morning as we set the stage. Number one, what is a seeker? Here's the definition of a seeker. A seeker is someone who is searching, looking or pursuing a greater proximity to God and God in his presence, someone who has set their heart on a journey towards him. That's a seeker. And I want you to know in your relationship with God, there's actually two seekers. If you are seeking after God over the next 21 days, and maybe this is all brand new for you, maybe you're a new Christ follower or you used to have a close proximity to the Lord, you experience God in a very powerful way, but some time has kind of doled your heart and you're saying, all right, Lord, I want to start this new year often, I want to new me and I want to really go after you and I want a new relationship with you.   There's one seeker and that's you, but there's another seeker and that's him. You see, because Jesus said in John chapter four, when he was engaged in a conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob, he said that the father is seeking for those who will worship him in spirit and in truth. God is seeking for people to worship him in spirit and in truth. What does spirit and truth mean? Well, there's a lot of layers to that, but one primary definition of that is you're seeking after God with authenticity, with genuineness and with your whole heart. That's what God is looking for. Not your religious obligations, not just going through the motions, not just showing up, not saying a quick little prayer, but you're really going after them. The Lord says, I'm seeking that.  Listen, if you really set your heart on seeking him, you will never be the same. I guarantee it, not even a 90 day money-back guarantee. I'm talking like forever and ever and ever, your life will be changed. It doesn't happen sometimes, it happens every single time. God is looking, his eyes roam throughout the earth, seeking those whose hearts are loyal and faithful to him. This is what God's looking for. And here's the good news, God knows that you're not good at this. He knows I'm not good at this. He's not looking for perfection in the pursuit. He's looking for singularity in the pursuit. Our whole heart, say, God, I'm a wreck, I'm a mess.  Then you qualify to be a seeker.  I've seen you're fasting, it's terrible. It's, I've seen you cheat by getting into the line at Chick-fil-A when you think nobody else sees. That was me. And eating that 12 piece nuggets and then repenting afterwards, the Lord says, I see that, but I also see that you repented and you came after me and your fasting was never the issue to begin with. It was what fasting could produce in your life and the fact that you made a decision to come after me. So that's what a seeker is, but what is the reward? If it says that he will reward those who diligently seek him, if it says that you must believe that God is and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him, if Jesus says that if we privately pursue him, then God will publicly reward us. What is the reward? Is it wealth? Is it fame? Is it healing? Is it emotional well-being? Is it the relationship that we've been longing for? Is it instantaneous knowledge of the Bible in a way that we've never had before? Is it favor? Is it a promotion? What is the reward? The reward, according to what God himself said to Abraham, who is the father of the believer's journey of faith, in Genesis 15 verse one, he says this to Abraham. He said, Abraham in a vision, he said to him, do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield and your exceedingly great reward. God says, I'm your reward. I'm your reward because if you have God, you have everything. If you have him, and I'm not just talking about possessing him, but if you are close to him and you're pursuing him and he's pursuing you and your relationship with God grows and all other things have died, all other glittering shining things have lost their fascination and your heart ever gets locked in on drawing near to him and surrendering your life to him and his word being the truth in your life. Then it says that not only is he gonna be able to set you free, but he's gonna bring you back from exile. Jeremiah 29 talks about this, I'm gonna bring you back and that means in the places of your life where you've been broken, there's gonna be healing. In the places where there's been pain, there's gonna be healing and satisfaction, but it's not because God's just giving you something. It's because of the one that you are living in the presence of. If you have God, you have everything. You have peace, joy, love, patience, faithfulness, goodness, gentleness, self-control. You have power from heaven. You have forgiveness, you have salvation, you have community, you have identity, you have everything.  You will never face a mountain that cannot be moved. You will never cross a river that God can't separate and tear open so that you can walk over in the dry ground. You will never be in a position where there's lack to fulfill the purpose and the calling of your life because when you have God, you have everything. And we spend so much of our time living our lives in pursuit of everything else thinking, if I chase that down, that will solve my problem. Or if I chase that down, that's gonna satisfy me. Or if I possess that, that's gonna make me complete. Or if I am that, then other people are going to look at me and envy me and I'm gonna have this sense of satisfaction of fame. If I have enough followers, if I have a big enough house, if I climb the corporate ladder, if I marry this person, if I look this way. And none of those things in and of themselves are wrong unless they become the object of our pursuit. But when Jesus said, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all these other things will be added unto you, this is what he means. He says, don't seek those things, seek me because if you find me, everything else will be put into place. God himself is the seeker's reward. The seeker's reward is receiving more of him with every step made in his direction. So let me ask you a question this morning. In your relationship with God, are you a spiritual seeker or a spiritual wanderer?     And so many people, if you ask them, do you love Jesus? Yes, do you want God's best for your life? Yes, what are you going after? Just kind of open to whatever. I wake up every day going, oh, I hope today's better than yesterday. But if we set our hearts on the journey, that Psalm 84 journey, say, God, I'm coming after you. Blessed is everyone who sets their heart on a pilgrimage. It says, I'm coming after you, Lord. Even the birds of the field make their nest in your presence. And even though I go through the valley of Baca, God, you're even gonna take that water or that was my tears and turn it into springs that don't just refresh me but refresh other people. And I know that I will see the goodness of God in the land of the living. That's what it means to be one who is a seeker. And it's the seeker that receives the reward. So what is it that is the master key? What's the master key? How do I go from being a wanderer to a seeker? There's one master key. One master key to engaging or even beginning on the journey of being a seeker. What is it? Well, I'm gonna talk more about that tonight, but I'm gonna give you the introduction to it this morning. What is the master key to opening the door to a greater relationship with God and receiving the seeker's reward? It's one thing and here it is. It's spiritual hunger and thirst. Spiritual hunger and thirst. Jesus said in Matthew five verse six, blessed is he who hungers and thirsts after righteousness for he shall be filled or they shall be satisfied. Hunger and thirst. You know, we really don't understand hunger and thirst in our context. I mean, if we haven't eaten in five minutes, we're like, I'm hungry. Most of the time we're hungry because we're bored. Didn't the Grinch say that? I eat because I'm bored. When Jesus says hunger and thirst, think about those. Those are the most primal driving appetites in the human reality. They move us and we will do just about anything to have them satisfied. But when you're not hungry and you're not thirsty, when you're just kind of in a stasis or a state of status quo, when you're satisfied, people can put wonderful, glorious, awesome food in front of you and you can take it or leave it. You will walk by a thousand drinking fountains. You can go into a gas station and there's refrigerators full of aquafina and Evian and all kinds of water and you don't even pay a second attention. But when you're thirsty, man, you're willing to drink out of a garden hose. When you're really thirsty and you see you're searching for water, you will drink it from wherever you can get it. The same is true with hunger. When you're hungry, it's amazing what you will eat. Can't tell you how many times I've gone to the cupboards. Hungry and not even really hungry, but hungry. It's like, I got pickles and low carb tortillas and chocolate chips. Let's go. A pickle and chocolate chip burrito, here we go.  And the key with being a seeker of the presence of God, of growing closer to God is spiritual hunger. If you have spiritual hunger, you are at the beginning of a journey to receive the seeker's reward. And here's the thing, as you may be here this morning, wherever you're at, and you're in a state of spiritual hunger. I'm so tired of the world. I'm so tired of my sin. I'm so tired of binging on the junk that the world has. I'm tired of all that. And I don't even know how to get there, but I'm just hungry for you, God.  But spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst is different than natural hunger and thirst. And it's different in this way. When you are naturally hunger, hungry and thirsty, and you find food or water and you drink it, you become satisfied. The more you eat, the more you're satisfied. But spiritual hunger is the exact opposite. The more you eat, the hungrier you get. The less you drink, the less thirsty you are. And so if you are today in a state of, I don't, if I'm being honest with myself, I don't feel intensely spiritually hungry. The key is don't wait till you are. The key is to prime the pump by doing the things that produce spiritual hunger in you. That's what fasting does. That's what prayer does. Prayer and fasting are not what we do when we are spiritually hungry. Fasting and prayer is what we do to become spiritually hungry because in that state of spiritual hunger, we will then set out to find that which only can satisfy our longings. And so if you're spiritually hungry already and you're part of our family and we're going into this 21 days, blessed are you. But if you're like, I'm a little bit hungry and I'm a little bit thirsty, but I want to be ravenous. I really wanna go after God. Let me give you some keys that are gonna help produce spiritual hunger in you over the next 21 days. And you can make a decision about these things and they will stir spiritual hunger in your life. Number one is this, here's the things to say yes to at God's invitation. Number one is seek God first. If you will seek God first, make a decision. I'm gonna seek God first. It will produce spiritual hunger and thirst in your life. What do I mean by seek first? Well, number one, seek Him early. Seek Him early. That means get up early. Get up early. Wake up, wake yourself up. Set your alarm clock. 15 minutes, a half an hour, an hour earlier than you normally do. Well, you know, that's really tough too because I watch Netflix till like two in the morning and then I gotta be at work at seven. So I really can't do that. What are you hungry for? Go to bed at 11. Wake up at four or whatever. But if you really want hunger to stir and you say, God, before I go to work, before I work out, before I do anything else, the first thing I'm gonna do in my life, it's the law of priority. I'm going to this next 21 days, starting on Monday morning, I'm gonna get this old body out of bed, out of bedside Baptist, get my head off a pillow, pentacol still and I'm gonna seek you in the secret place. I'm gonna get my Bible and I'm gonna say a prayer. If you don't even know what prayer to pray, pray the Lord's prayer.  And it might take you five, 10 minutes if you've never done it before, but just set a precedent. Just say, God, I'm seeking you first. I read the Bible and I prayed a terrible prayer today. And then guess what?   God's not in heaven, go, I'm not gonna do it. I like reading the Bible finally. Shaking the foundations of the world now. It's like I might have to answer some prayers. No, we don't realize how badly God wants to meet us. Seek God early. What does it mean to seek God first? Seek Him early, but it also means seek Him as a priority. In every area of your life, make a determination right now. When it comes to my family, we're putting God first. When it comes to my finances, we're putting God first. When it comes to my dreams, I'm putting God first. When it comes to my job, I'm putting you first. It begins with your pursuit first. You begin to put God first and ask questions like, what does it mean for God to be first in our family, in our marriage? What does it mean for God to be first with our finances? And you begin to say, God, I don't know how to all do this, but I'm saying I want that. When you begin to want that and take some tangible steps, what will happen is your heart will begin to awaken. So many people say, I wanna read the Bible. I just, I don't like it. You know how you like it? Read it. Read it. And the Bible is the only book that when you're reading it, it's reading you. You're just gonna read it and all of a sudden your heart's gonna go, wow, I never saw that before. That's encouraging. Or you might read and go, that's a fending. Or you might read and go, that's complicated. Or you might read and go, that's a genealogy. Why? And why are they killing animals?  So seek God for a second thing that you can do that will produce spiritual hunger in your life is seek God often. Build a habit. Develop an appetite. Seek God habitually. Psalm 105 verses three through four says, let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his presence continually. Build a habit over the next 21 days. You can build a habit. Every day, wake up, read the Bible. Here's a habit. You ready? Come to a prayer meeting. Some of you have never been to our prayer room. It's like, oh, I love that our church has a prayer room, but it's downtown. It's a long ways away. Listen, you don't live hours away from the radiant city center. There are a lot of weird people downtown. Yeah, there are a lot of weird people that need you. You're not weird, so show up. Because your prayers are changing our city. Changing our region. God's called us to the heart of the city. You've never showed up to a prayer meeting. Here's a radical idea. Say, you know what we're gonna do? Once a week, or even here. Crazy radical. I'm going to a prayer meeting every day for 21 days. He said, I can't possibly do that. Well, maybe you've gone to the gym every single day. There are some people that when they're on vacation, they go to the gym. They're just gym rats.  And then they're like posting on Instagram. And every single day and they're on vacation. You know, they're in the middle of Alaska and Antarctica. And they're just like, where's the nearest plan of fitness?  What am I gonna do? It's great. You've got a habit. Wonderful. Physical discipline profits you a little. Spiritual discipline, it will develop you in ways that you can't even fathom. Develop a habit. I've never prayed 21 days in a row. Do it. Come to a prayer meeting. Come to one. Come to one a week. If you can't, we're on 8 a.m. on TV every morning, on YouTube TV. Like your computer or your phone, whatever. But go to the radio channel on YouTube. Prayer from the city center. And join in every single day. Develop a habit. How many of you have ever gone to Costco before? How many go regularly? How many spend way too much at Costco? You go into Costco, like we need three things.  I get it. But here's how it happens. You go into Costco. One of my favorite times to go into Costco is like on Fridays and Saturdays, Jane and I will go in and that's samples. And we time it sometimes when the samples are like out. And I'm not talking like the bad sample. I'm talking about the, there's like, there's a window of time when they're all out. And we're pushing our cart and I'll just slide into an aisle. It's like, what do you got?  I probably shouldn't say that in church, but that's what it's called. Sorry. I'm, I'm, I'm seeking the Lord. I'm seeking the Lord. Jesus.  And then you go to the ice cream section and they've got the Vitamix person there with that. They've got the little chocolate coconut almonds. How many have had those? And they've got the Danish thing and everything. And you, you can have lunch at Costco, the little tostido thing, the little rollers with the beans. And it's, it's, and if you don't get enough, just go get that dollar 50 hot dog. But do you know why Costco hands you samples? It's not because they're generous. They're not going, well, how can we bless the people who come into our store with a little snack? No, they know if you taste, it's going to develop an appetite. Here's why. You can't get hungry for something you've never had. Anything that you ever crave, it's because you've tasted it before and it was good. And then it develops an appetite. So Costco, they're like drug dealers. They're just like, first one's always free. Go ahead. We know you're coming. It's over there. I don't do the vitamins. It's like, what does the Bible say in Psalm 34? Taste and see that the Lord is good. You know what God's saying to you, leading into this 21 days? Hey, I know that this is maybe outside of your normal, but let's, let's taste and see. Come and see that I'm good. Come and see what it's like to be closer to me. Come and see what it's like to fast. Come and see what it's like to experience my presence in a tangible way in a prayer room. Come and see what it's like if you'll get up early when I'll meet you. Come and see what it's like to not just be a spiritual wanderer, but actually a spiritual seeker is very intentional. Taste and see it because you will become addicted to following hard after God. And the third thing that's part of this master key is seek God first, seek God habitually, seek God together, seek God in community. One of the reasons why we pray together in the prayer room and have corporate prayer meetings and believe in corporate prayer is we need personal prayer, we need personal relationship with God, but we also need one another because there's something that happens in a corporate prayer meeting and a corporate church service and even special revival night services that we're gonna have where we gather together that cannot happen by ourselves. And the reason for that is the way that God's designed the church. None of us have the full totality of the grace of God. There's power in the diversity when we come together. Jesus calls the church a body of Christ. That means there's many members. We need one another. And Jesus can be your personal Lord and savior, but he can't be your private Lord and savior. We need one another. And when we come together, we grow best in community. We grow best, revelation encounters with the Lord oftentimes will happen when we're feeding off of one another's faith. Acts 242 says they devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and fellowship to the breaking of bread and to prayers and all came upon every soul. Many signs and wonders are being done through the apostles. They did this together. And the best way that I can illustrate today, the power of coming together intentionally making a decision to draw near together is when Jane and I were first married, we lived in Kansas City, had a little townhouse, and we got our first charcoal grill. I got my first charcoal grill. I didn't grow up. We never barbecued anything. So it was like, I want a charcoal grill. And so we got it. We put it, set it up on the outside, a back of our townhouse on a little cement slab. And I said, we're gonna barbecue some chicken tonight. I was so excited. I got the charcoal briquettes and the long matches and the lighter fluid and set it all up. And I took the charcoal briquettes out and I lined them up perfectly on the bottom of the rack, spaced about a half inch apart. It looked like a perfect grid because I wanted the whole surface to be covered. I poured the lighter fluid on through the match in, put the lid on, came back about five minutes later, nothing. Charcoal briquettes were still black. There was no fire. So I did it all again, lit it. I'm like, okay, there we go, put the lid back on, came back a few minutes later, nothing. I'm like, I got some bad briquettes. And just about that time, the guy next door came around a little partition. He goes, what's going on? You got a problem? I said, I think I got some bad charcoal. He goes, well, let me see what you got going. And he lifted the lid off and he's like, what are you doing? Trying to get some fire going. He's like, that's not how you get the flame going. The way you get the flame going is you got to make a pile, stack them on top of each other.  I'm like, well, that's a mess. And he's like, no, this is how you do it. And then he struck the match at lit and about 10, 15 minutes later, the edges started getting white, heat started coming off of it. He's like, you scatter it after you've gathered them. Then you spread the heat out. We're trying to spread the heat out by keeping our space and our distance from one another. Thinking if I can just get the fire on me, that's gonna be enough. And listen, the real fire falls when we're stacked on top of one another, when we gather together as the church and we worship Jesus together corporately. That's when the fire, that's when the heat comes. We feed off of each other's heat. And then he scatters us throughout the city. Then he scatters us to our seeker places in our private prayer rooms. But then we come back together. That's where the heat comes. Jesus is inviting us. He's inviting us to seek him with all of our heart. And to receive the seeker's reward. Wherever you're at, would you stand up with me? This morning, I want to do something out of the ordinary. Tonight at six, we're gonna have our first revival night service. And I'm gonna bring a message out of the life of David on what spiritual hunger does and our response to the Lord. I really think it's gonna be a now prophetic, powerful word for us together for you. I think it's just one of those type of messages that I just sense God has fresh oil and fresh life on. But before we get to tonight, because I know Sunday mornings, a lot of times this is where we see the vast majority of the members of the church. I want to invite you to make a decision before you leave the building. And the decision is this. God, I want to be a seeker. God, I'm going to be a seeker. I'm going to seek you with all of my heart. Maybe you've never done that before. I'm praying that right now across the room the Holy Spirit's doing what only he can do which is stir just enough desire and hunger in our hearts. That it primes the pump for us to then build and add on to that. And the way I'm gonna ask us to respond to this message this morning is if in your heart here, I wanna be a spiritual seeker. I'm going to be, you might already be there. You might be the nuclear center of this church where you're just going hard after it.  But this isn't just for those. This is for everybody. This is for the novice. This is even for the person who's not even sure that they have a relationship with God. But in your heart this morning and in this era and portion of your life you know that you want and you need more. You're saying yes to God. I'm gonna ask you to consecrate yourself. Put yourself on the altar to say, I don't know how to do this well but I will make a decision Lord and saying I'm gonna put myself in a position to seek you with all of my heart to the best of my ability and God if you'll grace me I'll go all in on this. I'm coming hard after you. I'm gonna ask you if that's you to step out of your seat and to make your way up to the front and to fill up this front like an altar as much as we can and when we fill it we'll fill the altars. You might only be able to take one step but I'm gonna ask you to take that step and get as close to the front and then we're gonna pray and consecrate this moment together. You just come. If that's you, you're saying Lord I'm seeking you. I'm gonna be a seeker. This might be new to you. It's like stepping out of my seat. Yeah, this is out of our comfort zone because that's what seek is all about. It's putting ourselves in a position where we're not comfortable to seek the Lord. And even if it's filling up that might be fine but you just get out of your seat and get in a row. It's not the place. It's the posture of our heart that matters most.


Be brief to introduce yourself. We are switch on the camera switch on the phone and the microphone Please say hi. So we meet each other. All right So the first one in the list have here is I do I do of a that's so so please Remind the buttons. There's about your microphone Yeah, hello everyone, I'm they do and I'm a PhD student and we have an alley at ICT P working on Trying to understand fluctuations and complexity in water networks. Yeah Thank you, I do The next one I will pass it. There is one alley here, which is three alleys. So, yeah And see if I get joined. Yeah, this is a little naughty actually, so should I proceed that car? Yes, please Yeah, my name is adding naji. I don't know why it's showing earlier. I guess this is why Google use our name for all the so I will give a talk later on in the evening Well, I work at IP MSU for research and fundamental sciences in Iran and a couple of my colleagues We're also my students and plus I will also give talks our interest is the theoretical and computational and software physics including those topics that they will present as well as Mostly electrostatic cousin your effect and recently active matter. Thank you Thank you. Allie. So the next alley has an alley So hey everyone, my name is Ali Hasan Ali as Edgar said and I'm a scientist here at ICT P I'm one of the co-organizers along with Edgar and Ali Rajapur from Iran So my area of interest is in using computer simulations to study liquids in particular water And I'll also be giving a talk today and I'm very excited about this Virtual retreat and experiment that we're doing now. Thanks Okay, next one is Ali Rajapur Can you hear me? Yes. Yeah Hello, everyone, my name is Ali Rajapur from Iran and nice to see you guys in this virtual meeting I thank Ali Hasan Ali and Edgar for their efforts in holding this workshop and also ICT P Staff I wish health and safety to all of you everywhere in the world My first affiliation is from a moment when international University in Kazvin in Iran and my second address is IPM in Tehran I think this workshop could lead to in two new areas of collaboration between the researchers from around the world working on soft condense matter and statistical mechanics and The main feature of this workshop actually is Interdisciplinary environment and we try to bring together researchers with different backgrounds and not only the group leaders But also the team members which will definitely create a synergies and this will be done with short presentation and question and answers between team members and the atmosphere of this workshop is friendly and Informal and people can Continue their discussions even after the workshop is over and We will share the content the contact information of all Participants and suggest continuing and this virtual Google meeting in each maybe season during the day. Thank you Thank you, Ali. So for the next ones I ask to be a bit more brief but this one has been a great introduction to the workshop So the next is Anni Tikika Hi, everyone. Hello, everyone.

Yes, yes All right Hello, so I'm Niel Kaidik With I'm with the National Institute of Physics University of the Philippines in Dileman Under Dr. Hosei Perica Esguera So currently we are working on Brownian systems with resetting So looking forward to the talks. Thank you Thanks a lot The next one, it has a very funny name. So it's called Old Style In the Google account So please Introduce with your real name It's possible Hello I'm afraid you can't hear you Yeah, yeah, old style. We don't hear you Maybe you need to get the new style No, no, no. We see you. We see you now, but we don't hear Please, please. Can you talk louder? And maybe maybe switch on your headphones. This could help It's not we can't hear you Evidently there is a problem with the microphone. This noises were immersion, but Maybe I will recommend So it's clear Okay, it's a problem, so we can identify you So maybe try with another browser like Google Chrome Because it happened to me the same problem Okay, I was using Firefox We will continue because we have this problem we can't hear you And right Thank you. Thank you anyway for the time For trying And we continue with Peri Esguera Hi, can you hear me? Yes Okay, say say good afternoon. Good evening and good morning to everyone. I'm Peri Esguera I'm from the National Institute of Physics University of the Philippines. I'm interested in all sorts of things, but in this Retreat I I and my students will focus mainly on our interest in random books And diffusion phenomena Thanks a lot. And we continue with Reza. Now Reza is Tehadee Yes, can you hear me? Yes Okay, I'm Reza Tehadee I'm from Sharif University of Technology I am leading a group of the soft condensed matter in the Sharif University And I'm so happy to be here And I will say more about my group during my talk today. Okay Thank you Thank you Reza And we continue with Ricardo Franklin Can you hear me? Yes Okay, my problem So I'm glad to be here. Thank you everyone for inviting me. And I will talk about Artificial photosynthesis, especially a problem that we found or an interest an interesting issue that we found of electric field in surface and Well, basically everything that we got and we hope a lot of feedback of this On any new idea because it's an ongoing process So thank you everyone for inviting me and nice to be here Thank you Ricardo And we continue with Roman Beruso Hello everyone Roman close of it's me I'm a postdoc fellow in quantitative life science in ICTP working closely with Edgar And Ali Hassan Ali Currently we have broad spectrum of interest but with Ali Edgar Alas and Ricardo We are working together on Inference of homogeneous diffusion coefficient and the related problems That's will be the subject of my talk Thank you Thank you Roman Next is Raul Rica Hello See me and hear me Okay, I'm Raul Rica I'm from the University of Granada in Spain I think as far as I understood I'm the Rara Abis here since I'm Maybe the only experimentalist here. Is that right? I think so Okay, so I will introduce the experiments we are doing here in Granada related to Stochastic phenomena with gronian particles in different types of traps That's all Thanks Raul, Raul, and next one is Julier Hi, do you hear me? Yes Perfect, I am Julier I'm a postdoc at the ICTP And I'm interested in developing methodologies For atomistic simulations both in the quantum and classical regimes Thanks a lot Thank you, and next one is It is in the list Yasser Bahari Yasser Can you hear us? Okay, it seems not We continue with Sarah Ahmadian Okay, it seems no reply There's some noise in the background Sarah Ahmadian or Yasser Bahari And you say hi Did your microphone sound? No, it's not working All right, I think we are done with the current list Maybe I need to introduce myself But I will have the chance in my presentation to Present our work I must say, well, I wanted to give a Short speech about the scope of this conference, but mainly my colleagues have already described it very well This is about possible collaboration synergies discussions And especially it's about giving opportunities to students and postdocs to present their work Because there's not so many opportunities like this, I think And we are very happy that you are all here I was in the beginning feeling okay, this would be nice But now after seeing all these people from the work, I must say I'm even nervous about my talk So it's very exciting And we look forward for you to participate actively By making questions or Participating in the discussions, so this is this conference is exactly for this purpose And yeah, I will leave the stage to Riel, who is our chairman for this session And he will first give you some instructions about how to interact with the speakers and so on Please pay out of attention for this Because it's important so we have so many


Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny, welcome back to yet another FNAF news video. We got a whole bunch of crazy stuff to talk about today, a whole bunch of brand new merchandise reveals from Funko and YouTube, some updates on the upcoming FNAF movie including a very special YouTuber cameo that might be making an appearance as well as a brand new Reddit post from Scott Cawthon himself. So let's not waste any more time if you're brand new, consider scrolling down tickling that sub button so you stay up to date with everything going on in the FNAF franchise. So to kick off this video, let's take a look at a few upcoming merchandise specifically from Hot Topic. First up, we've got yet another backpack themed around Glamrock Freddy from Security Breach, this one taking on the appearance of his face. It looks pretty goofy, but also looks pretty cute at the same time, it's got of course Freddy's face on it, the top hat the ears are plastered on it seems, you've got the Security Breach logo on the zipper and on the backpack itself. Also some more SB merch from Hot Topic, we've got a brand new glow in the dark Security Breach Glamrock shirt featuring Freddy, Chica, Monty, Roxanne, like I said it glows in the dark, for some reason it's got five nights at Freddy's across the front, don't know why they always find the need to throw in FNAF on it. But those are just a few products coming out of Hot Topic recently, next up we've got some brand new plush keychains from Just Toys. Also themed around Security Breach, you've got blind bags featuring Glamrock Chica, Roxy, Monty, Freddy, Vanny, and Sun and Moon. Once again, these guys look a little goofy, but you kind of love them for that. These guys were found at a Just Toys convention earlier this year and now they have a listing on Just Toys' website, so hopefully these guys should be officially releasing pretty soon. We've gotten out to Hex, they got a whole bunch of news because Docko actually uploaded a dedicated video just for Hex news, so let's go through it right now. First up, we got a teaser for their upcoming Puppet Plushie with Docko featuring a full reveal of the design in one of his recent videos and also over on Twitter providing a higher resolution image for that reveal. What's fascinating about this Puppet Plush is that she's going to feature not only magnets but also bendable limbs that you can pose together. And she's also going to glow in the dark, just a bit of a nice added touch there from Docko and the Hex team. As for release, all we know is that Docko was originally planning on launching the Puppet alongside Mangle and withered Golden Freddy in a wave after the withers, which is wave four. There's been a bit of backlash on the Puppet's design, mainly her face, but don't worry, this is still only a prototype. It's definitely going to change before release. Docko showed off a bit more of the limited edition sitting Golden Bonnie plushie that's releasing very soon. And because it is a special Golden limited edition, it's also going to come with a special Golden limited edition card and bag. In Docko's video, he showed off a bit more of the prototype for their Mangle plushie. They're still walking hard on it, but of course, it is very complex design, so it's taken a while. When the Mangle does release, apparently it's going to be included with a support stand so you can properly display them. We got brand new photos of the upcoming withered plushies, withered Chica and withered Freddy. As you can see from the photos, they're going to feature a whole bunch of wires around their bodies, especially Chica, because while she's got wires for hands, basically, we got a small teaser of the concept art for the upcoming Springtrap Hex plushie. And as for the future of Hex, Docko mentioned a few products they'd like to do in the future, mainly sitting plushies for Fredbear and Spring Bonnie, the plush keychains for the FNAF one gang, as well as more stylish hoodies similar to the Kai one they did with their default Hex brand. Specifically, Docko showed a lot of interest in making a shadow Bonnie hoodie. So a whole bunch of stuff coming out from Hex, and now let's move on to U2s. First up, we got U2s teasing that a FNAF jigsaw puzzle might be coming out soon, with U2s responding to merchandise reviewing Springs saying, I wish there were some good official FNAF puzzles that I could do and get framed. I think that would be fun to have in the room. U2s replying with a shushing emoji. U2s has done a whole bunch of puzzles in the past. In fact, this is one of their more recent ones themed around Cuphead. Lastly for U2s, we've got Kane Carter showing off the prototype for the upcoming Sitting Pop Goes plushie. This is an edit Kane made for what he hopes the final version of the plushie will look like. He looks absolutely adorable. I cannot wait for this guy to release. Apparently he's releasing alongside sitting plushies of Candy and Ignited Freddy as well. So we've got those to look forward to. We've got now to Funko. Oh boy, we've got a whole bunch of Funko stuff to talk about. First up, we've got an update on their upcoming holiday wave of FNAF products releasing later this year because Scarlett Joker announced the themes for each of the characters. We've got Santa Freddy, Elf Bonnie, Snoke Chica and Gingerbread Foxy. So some very festive themes for these guys. And as you can see in the image, this wave will include pops, plushies and action figures. Next up, we've got some very strange news that Funko has been releasing the recently released balloon circus minis as non-mystery minis, just regular minis. People have mainly been finding these guys at five below locations and on the back, you can see which characters are included in this non-mystery mini wave. Mostly just seems to be the commons, the balloon and the circus versions of the characters, no Walmart exclusives, no like one in 72 rares. So yeah, certainly very interesting. I guess if you're on the lookout for the minis and you don't really feel like opening up a whole bunch of blind bags to find the character you want, there you go. Next up for Funko, we've got our first look at their upcoming Firework Freddy action figure, exclusive to Walmart. Quite frankly, I've seen a lot of praise for this figure, mainly because they finally got rid of those top teeth again. But they did miss out on his freckles, which is weird. But anyways, this is a fantastic figure. He's got a whole bunch of details on him. The Firework comes included. That looks amazing as well. And as a matter of fact, look who came in the other day. It's Firework Friday. Yeah, this is the Firework Freddy plushie. If you've not seen it before, it is also exclusive to Walmart. Quite frankly, an amazing plushie. Also, as you can see right down there, I finally got this guy, the tie-dye spring trap plushie for the longest time. It feels like this guy wasn't releasing here in the States. He's also exclusive to Walmart. So yeah, if you've been on the lookout for this guy, he should start showing up here in the States. Lastly for Funko, we got the news that they're releasing three brand new security breach characters as action figures. Though the first one we're gonna talk about is definitely not someone you'd expect. We got Photonegative Glamrock Freddy. He's gonna be exclusive to Funko's online website. And if you can't tell what exactly Photonegative means, well, here's a regular photo of Glamrock Freddy. Invert the colors real quick. There you go, Photonegative Glamrock Freddy. Why Funko felt the need to make this a dedicated action figure, I have no clue. What I think the figures most people are excited for that we just got recently revealed to us are the Sun and Moon daycare attendant action figures. Their plushies got revealed not that long ago and people absolutely fell in love with those guys. So we were praying that when the figures got revealed, they'd be equally as good and thankfully they are. This is what the Sun and Moon figures look like and my gosh Funko, you're knocking it out of the park with these guys.  The paint jobs look absolutely amazing.  It looks like they practically took all the detail from the models in game and just pulled them out. They ripped them out of the game just threw them onto an action figure. They look absolutely fantastic. I've seen a few people critique the eyes and how it looks like they're looking in different directions but honestly, if that's the only critique, Funko, you've outdone yourself. I genuinely think these might be one of Funko's best figures they've ever made for FNAF. Just super accurate to what the characters look like.  Like I said, the paint looks amazing. Seems like these guys as well as their plushie variants gonna be releasing sometime this upcoming summer. I'd love to know in the comments what do you think of these brand new Sun and Moon products I know for a lot of people, these were some of their most anticipated merchandise products. So I'd love to know have they lived up to the hype? What do you think about them? That's gonna do it for all the merchandise news. So now let's move on to the books. First up, we got the most commonly used words and phrases in the upcoming 7th Tales from the Pizza Plex book, Tiger Rock. I don't usually report on these anymore because what the hell am I supposed to point out? Ooh, they say Jell-O. Though the book is set to come out next month on July 4th, so stand the lookout for that. Next up, we've got a preview for B7II, the 8th Tales book, which on first look doesn't seem all that weird, but then you consider the fact that we don't even have a synopsis description for the book yet. So we've gotten a six page preview of the book before we even know the basic synopsis of the three stories included. It's a little strange. But nonetheless, we got that book to look forward to. It releases later this year on the 3rd of October. Now we move on to some pretty jolly news because recently on May 28th was actually the four year anniversary of FNAF VR Help Wanted. In celebration, Steel Wool, as tradition, posted a brand new illustration celebrating its four year anniversary. You've now got four candles on the cupcake at any point. Now I'm sure poor Carl's just gonna melt in Mango's hand. For the longest time, I've wanted to go back into the world of FNAF VR and revisit it for a video. And now it seems like the best time to do that with Help Wanted 2 being announced with the anniversary happening past couple of days. So definitely stay on the lookout for that video very soon because I definitely wanna explore it once again. I freaking love Help Wanted. And actually, while we're on the topic of anniversaries and birthdays, it was actually Scott's birthday the other day. On June 4th, there's been a lot of confusion on when his birthday actually is. June 4th is our best guess right now. But anyways, Scott made a very sweet post to the FNAF subreddit thanking everyone for the birthday wishes, even though he claims his birthday is on February 31st, which by the way, for the people legitimately thinking that's his birthday, I'd recommend looking at a February calendar. But interestingly enough, and as a clean segue to the next topic, at the end of the post, he says, I got to see the first rough cut of the movie a couple of days ago, and I think it came together in an amazing way. Very excited for you all to see it in October, smiley face. So confirmation from the man himself, the first rough cut of the FNAF movie is done. Of course, that doesn't mean the movie is completely done. There's still a lot of progress to be made on it, hence why it's called a rough cut. But hopefully pretty soon, this means we can get maybe a new teaser, maybe another trailer in the next coming months. And actually speaking of teaser trailers for the movie, the Portuguese subtitled version of the teaser trailer was uploaded not too long ago. And actually interestingly enough, people noticed on the Portuguese version of the official poster, there was a subtitle for the film that roughly translates to the endless nightmare or the never ending nightmare. Now it's very likely this subtitle will just be used in select regions of the world, but it's still pretty interesting, don't you think? For the final topic of today's video, we got some subtle hints that Markiplier might be making a cameo in the upcoming film. Now I'd absolutely stop making these claims if every time Markiplier was asked about the FNAF movie, he didn't coily put his hands behind his back and do a little, I might be in it. I'm all for leaving the man alone, but whenever he gets asked something about the movie, he said stuff like this. FNAF, bro, you gotta say something about that. I don't know how to explain this to you that number one I can't and number one I won't because it's like what would be the joy in that? Well, what would be the goodness in that? I mean, sure, you all could run away and tell everybody and then you could be the one that knows, but what's the point of that? Look, I don't even spoil my own projects. Like it's not something that I would ever talk about. It's a FNAF movie trailer. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. Never heard of you to get out of here. I'm calling security.  That was on a recent live stream a couple of days ago where he said he can't and won't share anything about FNAF saying, look, I don't even spoil my own projects. It's not something that I would ever talk about. It would just ruin the fun, you know? Like, come on, Markiplier. You can open up to us. If you got something to say, you can tell us, man. Also during the stream, he live reacted to the trailers for Ruin and Help Wanted 2. And it seems like he didn't even know those projects existed. So what other project could he be talking about that he doesn't wanna spoil, you know? Though I'd love to know your thoughts and theories. What do you think's going on with Markiplier? Do you think he's just playing this community for a fool? Or do you think there's legitimately something about FNAF that he can't talk about? That's gonna do it for this FNAF news video. Once again, huge shout out to you guys for watching through the whole way. This was a massive FNAF news video and there's still a whole bunch more FNAF coming out later this year, so definitely stay tuned. Thank you all so much for watching and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.


To me, the best part, the best quality of it, is it's involuntary. There's not some things that are voluntary and some things that are involuntary. The experience of the miracle, miracles are involuntary and should not be under conscious control, Jesus says in the Course. If you give yourself over to that, you will find your bliss, your total bliss, because you have no responsibility for the form of things. You have no responsibility to uphold anything. You don't have a responsibility to maintain an image, but you do have a responsibility to accept the Atonement, which is really to give that cosmic image back to the Holy Spirit and say, listen, I tried to play with this image like a Rubik's Cube, like the movie Snudden we just watched. He has always had the Rubik's Cube going. I tried to do the Rubik's Cube with the world and it's not my salvation, it's not my joy, it's not my happiness. I bought a ticket to the whereherherl, but now I've come back again. Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Oh, I want the truth to be said. I know this much is true. That's a very profound line. I bought a ticket to the world, I bought a ticket to duality, I bought a ticket to perception, but now I've come back again, back to revelation, back to the great raise, back to the joy, back to the intimacy, the glee, back to God, back to spirit. Why do I find it hard to write the next line? Because there is no next line. That's why you find it hard to write the next line, because there is no next line. I place the future in the hands of God. I place the next line in the hands of God and then it disappears. And then you truly are clueless and carefree and cared for. And then you are truly free of the world, roles, false responsibilities, duties, causes, issues. If you can hear, Jesus is talking to you right now and I'm calling you out of this world of perception. Perception, time will never content you, never. You might as well give up now. It'll just save you this illusion of time and delay, but you can give everything over to this experience. You don't have to join a group, you don't have to join a church, you don't have to join a movement. You just have to sink, sink, sink, sink, sink deep into your mind, into the holy instant. It doesn't cost you anything. There's no price for it. There's no sacrifice required. There's no price to pay. This is everything. So that's what I'm feeling as I've just been dancing around like Fred Astaire here, because I feel the joy in my heart is that it's all involuntary.


I wanted to go to also Tina here not just because I wanted to see more of her dog who's on the screen but you're you're you're you're you're around the country and you're kind of seeing the way that the police behaves and it's in me like I feel like most people who've been paying attention they should have viewed the last couple of years as a full-on mask-off moment by police forces and to give you an example of that I mean Portland's bizarre experiment with not policing Proud Boys rampage ends in gunfire this is from Robert Mackey of the intercept and there's a lot of videos of people outraged that they kind of just let the Proud Boys get away with everything this you know a similar story in Los Angeles which you were a part of Tina that was hoping that you could speak to as well where there were Proud Boys the LA police department essentially stood by which is what the criticism is and that led to this viral moment which a lot of people have seen this is you right here this Capitol writer Tony Moon is attacking reporter Tina Desiree Berg today and ripping her mask off today in downtown LA so can you talk a little bit about this Tina the way that events unfold because of the police either their presence or lack thereof like what have you seen in your experience as a journalist who's on the ground so you know what happened two Saturdays ago and also in Portland actually Sean Beckner Carmichael who is the jump who is the reporter that actually filled the guy with the gun I know him personally I've worked with him you know he was hiding behind a car as this was happening and I saw the videos like Sean are you kidding me and he's like yeah the guy had come forward he had chased them he had produced pulled the gun out ran back so this had been something that was a build up to that too but here's the thing everything we're seeing right now all of the unrest all of the violence we've we didn't get here overnight this has been building up for months now and I could say without equivocation that the police department treats both sides differently and that is part and parcel to the problem if what happened on Saturday or if what had happened in Portland if those had been BLM activists they would have been shot there's I can say that without equivocation so I have hours and hours and hours of footage where I've been at a skirmish line and I've seen the difference in the way the LAPD treats both sides and oftentimes they're only facing BLM activists they don't turn around and look at the Trump people and you know and on Saturday you saw that that was right in front of LAPD headquarters for people saying why did it take the cops so long to show up I'm like they were there they were there before it started they I mean they were standing right there watching it and and I'm pretty angry right now because I and I'm gonna name names and shame names I've decided because I'm kind of done with this whole thing and Sergeant Gordon Helper who is part of that rampart division and captain's to be ill they are both part and parcel to the problems they're both giant Trump supporters they have been openly supporting Trump and saying ridiculous things about Antifa on their social media for months now but the final straw for me was that Tony Moon actually went online and made this empathetic post about Tony Moon Gordon Helper did so I'm like wait a second so you were there on Saturday when I was being assaulted when two people were stabbed also there were two stabbings when another woman was hit on the head with a hydro flask and had blood just gushing out of her head you were there you did nothing to interfere and the old and when you finally did interfere it was because one of the anti-vaxxer guys one of the Trump guys was stabbed then all of a sudden you're gonna get involved right meanwhile somebody else on the left had also been stabbed so I mean this violence should have not have happened in the first place but I think they you know they allow it to happen they have a bias they're bringing their bias to the skirmish line and it just blows my mind so now this is escalating I don't think this is getting very much immediate tension but Tony Moon has now been showing up at the homes of journalists here in Los Angeles and he showed up at there's a gentleman that I know that works for vice who was a senior editor there actually he's not there anymore but they showed up at his house this week wow they showed up yeah showed up at his house him Tony Moon in like a group of five or six people and they put flyers all over the neighborhood calling him a terrorist then they showed up at a photojournalist house who I know her name is Emily and did the same thing and so he's actively trying to find the addresses and I'm sure he's gonna show up at my house at some point why wouldn't I be on that list he already hit me but point being is this is where things have escalated to and you're right the LAPD isn't gonna do a damn thing about it I've also had internal affairs send me a letter right so I read this letter and I think to myself this is just a serious cover my ass operation you guys aren't actually gonna do anything to change this stuff I can't believe I'm saying this all publicly but I'm really riled up can you tell well you know Frank Stoltz Frank Stoltz it was horrible yeah Frank Stoltz has been a report he's an older man he's been a reporter for KPCC which is one of the public radio stations he was so shocked he wrote a whole article saying I've been covering protests for 30 years including the Occupy protests and no buddy has ever physically assaulted me and what I want to ask Tina because I asked you this privately over direct message is what do you make of Matt Taibbi whose takes I agree with most of the time going after Antifa he actually thought that was strange yeah the other day that was just retweeted I was on Joe Rogan's page because we're gonna be talking about him maybe which Joe Rogan repeated in which it was all about Antifa and how they attacked the reporter for news to share in Portland and my experience with Antifa now I've only covered them you know four or five times but every counter protest from Occupy inauguration to the day you know which was and I was there in the skirmish line between Antifa and the cops I went off the permitted March just to cover this and I talked to some of these people afterwards also there was the big rally in Laguna Beach against the immigrants there were 50 people protesting immigrants are taking our jobs and 2,500 people came out to counter protest them I talked to Antifa people there there was something similar in Santa Monica and these people have all seemed to me to be very quiet unassuming not at all violent not at all burly they're kind of look like skinny college kids to me they're just you know wearing black that they were very well spoken I mean some of them could have been DSA members you know how much theory they knew and quite frankly I've always been grateful for Antifa because they're the only ones out there fighting these fascists you know there's a group called refuse fascism which was started by Revcom the revolutionary Communist Party Bob Avakian's group and I used to kind of disdain them thinking they were all cultists because every time there was a protest including Occupy they would show up and handing out their newspaper and they all you know revere this Bob Avakian but I swear to you I mean I live just north of Beverly Hills during the whole Trump administration every time he was there having a fundraiser I could not get the leftist groups to come out the only people that consistently protested Trump and saw the danger of him and his administration were antifa no not really we're refused fascism and when I would reach out to a lot of those guys are also members of Antifa though I believe well no but they aren't they're all refused and because I had them on my show and people would say oh we don't want to work with them I mean to this day they're trying to organize Occupy 10-year anniversary party and I spoke to one of the organizers and he said over and feel free to call anybody will work with anybody but not refuse fascism and I just think that kind of sectarianism or whatever you want to call it on the left is ridiculous when we're facing this fascist threat yeah and and to kind of go back to the can I just can I go ahead because I've been covering Black Lives Matter protests for a long time I got five years of covering Trump protests and that treachery I you know I really respect Matt Taibbi it's not just him who's now taking this angle on Antifa I didn't see these folks commenting when a anti-vaxxer attacked Tina and I know tried to pull her mask tried to pull her mask down I have not seen them comment on the many maybe they just haven't seen it I haven't seen them comment on the I mean there's a whole lot more attacks coming from either Maga Q1 yeah and now anti-vaxxers there's all I don't make it okay if if an antifa person is violent but it's really more narrative what's being pushed then yeah I don't like the framing and so yeah let me let me comment on that I don't like the framing of that I think if you're if you're sticking to a principle which is what I'm gonna do right here I'm gonna say you should not attack press people period and the story that is the end of the discussion the problem I have with Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi at this point is that they're framing it from the right wing and I don't know why they're doing that and I'm also kind of irritated that neither of them have been present at these things and instead of reaching out and having a conversation with folks that were maybe that should have happened right you mean you mean journalism yeah you know and I know that I might well you know I'm kind of I'm kind of irritated by this especially from Glenn Greenwald he knows better and he was you know making all of these posts about what happened at We Spa last month and he was really really hyper focused on this one and I'm gonna call it inconsequential thing that happened there was this anti- trans Karen so to speak that showed up and was spooing a lot of anti- trans rhetoric and saying very hateful things and so some folks in black block chased her away from We Spa because they you know they didn't want her coming up to the trans folks that were there protesting so they were sort of acting like security I guess you could say meanwhile okay so you're gonna get hyper focused on that right meanwhile somebody was stabbed I filmed it he was a trans activist was stabbed LAPD was there too nobody talks about it another press person Rocky Romano was hit on the back of the head with a lead pipe intentionally a guy came up behind him hit him back on the head with this like wooden lead pipe thing ran away got into a vehicle that was being driven by a gubernatorial candidate by the way that's another story geez you do not oh this woman's running for governor right now and then they were circling around the streets while he was in the car and he's talking about how great it felt to crack this press guy on the back of the head with the lead pipe so again no mention of any of these things which as far as I'm concerned are far more important to the story than anything else then Washington Post picks up a story on this and they don't mention either of these things either no mention of the stabbing no mention of the press member attacked with the lead pipe oh and let me also say Tony Moon was there the guy that attacked me Tony Moon was there was there and he hit a woman and a trans visual trans person two people on the head with that hydro flask I have video of both of it uh there was another guy that had uh like a giant rosary beads because I don't know how to describe these things that he had wrapped around his hands and he was using him as a weapon so he was hitting people and screaming you're an abomination you're going to hell you're an abomination so these are all very hateful individuals doing very hateful violent things but yes yes let's talk about the Karen that got chased out by BlackBlock because that's what's important so again that's all I heard about okay so you see my point my point is yeah this was an inconsequential thing but because guys like Glenn who didn't bother to find out the entire story about what had happened that day decided to put that on blast that's what people think was the problem and I'm like yeah not even close not even close and then the cops showed up to the stabbing victim's bedside in the hospital and instead of treating him like a victim tried to accuse him of inciting a riot because that's what the cops do if the victim isn't of the right all of a sudden it still has to be their fault it's insane that this is what's happening
