Okay, so in this session we will look at the person of the Holy Spirit, right? So we will look at how, what the Holy Spirit is not, who He is not, right? But before that, let's just look at some of the attributes of the Holy Spirit.  So, you know, we might have that thing, but we need to understand that He is fully God, right? Because He is a trying God, He is, He is part of the Godhead and He is God. So when we see that, you know, the Spirit of God, He has attributes of God. Like we said, how can we say, you know, God is God because He is present everywhere. Like, let's look at some scriptures which talk about the fact that He is present everywhere. Okay, Psalm 139 and verse 7. Psalm 139 and verse 7. If somebody's there already, maybe they can read it. Otherwise I'll read it. Okay, Psalm 139 verse 7. So the Psalmist is saying, where can I go from your spirit or where can I flee from your presence? So it's a rhetoric question, meaning he knows the answer already. Where can I go? Nowhere. Where can I flee from your presence? Nowhere. There's no place on earth where I can run to when you're not there. So He is present everywhere. The Spirit, the Holy Spirit, He is present. Where can I go from your spirit? Nowhere. Right? He is all-powerful. Okay, so look chapter 1, the scripture that we saw just before in the previous class. Look chapter 1 and verse 35. So He is all-powerful. Let's read that verse. Look 1 verse 35. The power of the highest. The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you. Therefore also the Holy One who was to be born will be called the Son of God. So He is the highest power that He possesses. And that power, that Holy Spirit power was what will make that miraculous conception possible, or make that miraculous conception possible in Mary. So He is the Holy Spirit. He is all-powerful, the power of the highest. The Holy Spirit is also all-knowing. So there is nothing that He does not know. There is no information that He does not know. Okay, so Holy Spirit is all-knowing. So we look at 1 Corinthians chapter 2 and verses 10 and 11. So 1 Corinthians chapter 2. Maybe we'll read from verse 9. But as it is written, I has not seen nor hear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. That man knows the things of a man except the Spirit of man who is in Him. For even so, no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. So referring to the Holy Spirit that He is all-knowing. He knows the things of the Father. So He is all-knowing. Of course the Father knows everything. He is all-knowing. He knows the things of the Father, therefore He is all-knowing. Some of the scriptures refer to the fact that people might ask the question or yourself might have that question. But where does it say that Holy Spirit is God? Do we have some direct references? Yes, Acts chapter 5 and verse 3 where Peter, this is the whole incident, Peter and Ananias and Sapphira and Peter tells Ananias. This is what he says, Acts chapter 5 and verse 3. But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back the price of the land for yourself? So this is what Ananias and Sapphira did. They brought the proceedings of the sale and laid it at the Apostles' Field, which looked wonderful. It was a noble act. I mean it was a very generous act. But it was as if they were actually presenting the entire proceeds of the sale. But that was not the case. They kept back part of it and the other part was what was given. But it was projected as if they had given the entire things. Now this is what Peter said, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit? Look at verse 4. While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God. So in verse 3 he says, why did you lie to the Holy Spirit? And verse 4 he makes a reference saying, you've not lied to men but you have actually lied to God. So we see the Holy Spirit being referred to as God. Well he is also eternal meaning that it doesn't have a start date and an end date. There is no expiry date for the Holy Spirit. He is eternal from the eternal past to the eternal future. So Hebrews 9 and verse 14. Let's quickly go there, Hebrews 9 and verse 14. It says, but how much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit? We looked at this scripture and we looked at how the plan of redemption when we saw the Triune God being mentioned there. How much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offer himself without spot to God? So the Holy Spirit being referred to as the eternal Spirit. So he is from everlasting to everlasting, from the eternal past to the eternal future. It doesn't have a start date and an end date. He is not a created being. He is God. And he's also co-equal with the Father and the Son. We see that in the baptismal instruction which the Lord Jesus gives his disciples. He says, you baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We see in the act of creation that all three are involved. So they are co-equal. So which means that it's not a hierarchy. Though we see different roles where the Father is architect, designer of the plan, but we see the Son going and carrying it out and the Holy Spirit empowering the working out of the plan. So we see that happening but they are in effect, they are actually co-equal. Let's look at a few other scriptures also. Isaiah 11 and verse 2. The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel in mind, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. So he's talking about how this is referred to as the spirit of the Lord and also the spirit of the fear of the Lord and other aspects that be the spirit of wisdom and understanding and counsel in mind. So the Holy Spirit is the spirit of God referred to as the spirit of God. He is co-equal with the Father and the Son. So he comes to us, it's amazing that this Holy Spirit comes to indwell us and speak to us and show us the truth and reveal to us the truth. So the Holy Spirit, the role of the Holy Spirit or the working of the Holy Spirit is, in a way, whenever he's mentioned, talks about revelation, understanding or power, especially in the book of Acts, the baptism with power and so on. So it's possible that sometimes we come to a conclusion that the Holy Spirit and maybe we even refer to the Holy Spirit as it. The Holy Spirit, when it comes upon you, we do that out of ignorance but the fact is that he is a person. So when I'm referring to you or addressing you, I would not address you as it or when I'm referring to you or let's say, some of you have your cameras, okay, John Paul has camera on, so I'll take John's case. So I'm referring to Ruben about John. So I would not say Ruben, have you met John Paul? It is a wonderful human being. I would say he or I would say she, referring to another human being. So it's a person. So the same with the Holy Spirit, when we refer to the Holy Spirit, we understand that he is a person and several scriptures. The Lord Jesus himself while he instructed the disciples and he taught the disciples about the Holy Spirit. He calls the Holy Spirit the helper. Let's look at John 14. He says when he has come, he will lead, he will show, he will remind. Let's say verse 17, John 14 verse 17, the spirit of truth in the world cannot see because it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him for he dwells with you and will be in you. So we see that the Lord Jesus referring to the Holy Spirit as a person. So the Holy Spirit is not simply a force. Well, he is powerful. He is all powerful. He does powerful things. He was there at creation. He was there at the resurrection. He does powerful things, but he is not a force. He is not a mindless force or influence or some kind of attribute that we see in physics. We don't attribute that to the Holy Spirit while we see that this is how he works, but he is a person. Let's look at some scriptures which point to the fact that he is a person. Let's say, first one is he has an intellect. The scripture verse that we read just now in 1 Corinthians chapter 2. He searches all things. He searches the things of God. He knows the things of God, the deep things. So he searches Acts chapter 15 and let's look at that verse Acts 15 and verse 28. This is the first council, the apostles, the elders. Everyone gathers together and they say, okay, we need to send a letter to the other churches because there are some people who are actually going there and teaching that one must be circumcised in order to be saved and so on. So they write a letter and they send that letter out. So this is what James, so this is the contents of the letter. So this is what they write and he said, for it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no necessary burden than these things, no greater burden than these necessary things. Right, verse 28. So he searches, he knows, he has an opinion. Right, so it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and the disciples know that and the disciples receive that they walked with the Holy Spirit. They communicated with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit communicated to them. Right. Okay, the other things that we see is what we saw already that he is truth. He knows truth, he communicates truth and he is the truth. How else he teaches and he reminds. That's wonderful. Right. The Lord Jesus saying that in John 14 and verse 26 that he will teach. He teach you and he will also remind you of the things that I've spoken to you. So the Lord Jesus teaches and he is a person who teaches and he reminds. In Nehemiah 9, also 9 and verse 20, there's a reference about the teaching or the illuminative work of the Holy Spirit. Okay, John 15, he testifies. Okay, what does testify mean? John 15 and verse 26. What does, who is a person who testifies? Someone who had this something is true. He will, sorry, can you just repeat that? Yes, someone attest that something is true. Okay, someone who actually verifies and attest that something is true. Right. So I can testify to that when you say that, you know, I know it's true and I'm also giving you the added evidence that that is true. Right. So I'm giving you some information. So he testifies. Right. He, John 15 and verse 26 helper. He proceeds. He will testify of me, the Lord Jesus says, which means that he will give evidence about Jesus. He will testify about his instructions, about his teachings and about the person of Jesus himself. The Holy Spirit is pointing to Jesus and give evidence about Jesus. So he's testifying. Right. And obviously that intellect that requires the ability to communicate and so on. So he does that. And another scripture is that, that he guides. Okay. John 16 verse 13, when he, the spirit of truth has come, he will guide you into all truth for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears, he will speak. So he's communicating. He's guiding. He will tell you of things to come and so on. So we see all this mentioned. He will take of what is of the Father and he take of mine and he will declare it to you. Right. So he does that. He has a will, which means he decides what to do and he communicates that decision. It's, it's, it's, you know, it's, it's good to see in Acts chapter 13. And versus one to four. Now we're looking at the fact that Holy Spirit is a person and he has an intellect. He, he can speak. He has a will, which means that he decides and so on. Right. So accept the 13. Now in the church that was at Antioch, there were certain prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and, and who was called Nigel, Lucius of Cyrene, Manin who had been brought up with Herod, etc. and so on. As they minister to the Lord, verse two, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Now separate to me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them. Then having fasted and prayed and laid hands on them, they sent them away. Okay. And then they're praying. This is before the first missionary journey that Paul undertakes. So they've been fasting. They've been praying. They've been ministering to the Lord and the Holy Spirit. He decides to do something and he communicates his decision. Now separate to me Barnabas and Saul for, and he says, Now separate to me for the work for which I have called them. So you see that two things here. You know, he is giving an instruction. Now separate. So which means we know that Holy Spirit will speak. The Holy Spirit will instruct. The Holy Spirit will give strategies, right? For missions and for the work of the gospel. So he will, he will do that. He's saying you, you consecrate, you separate these two people and to which I have called them. So the calling, right? He also communicates the call. He decides the call. He communicates the call. So the Holy Spirit does that. So we see all this in this particular work, right? So he, he is with us. He, the Lord Jesus went ascended to heaven and then he said, I will send the helper in the very fact that he ascended. He sent and the Holy Spirit is with us. Leading us as the body in missions. Calling us to the things, to the work of ministry and so on. Okay. Then the other thing that we see is that the Holy Spirit has emotions. So when we sometimes we think that the Holy Spirit is powerful is God. He gives instructions. But the fact is that he emotes.  He loves, he cares and he is grieved. Right? So all that we see. Romans 15 and verse 30. Let's look at a few verses. Romans 15 and verse 30. I beg you brethren through the Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the spirit that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me. That's another verse where the Trinity is mentioned there. Love of the spirit that you strive together with me. So the Holy Spirit, he can love. He has love and he can communicate love. The Holy Spirit also can be grieved. Okay. Grief is sadness. So the Holy Spirit is grieved. Efficiency 4 and verse 30. Do not grieve the spirit. Efficiency 4. And let's read that verse. Okay. I hope you're having your Bible's happy and referring to these scripture verses. Right? Okay. So efficiency 4 verse 30. Say saying, let's look at verse 29.  But what is good for necessary edification that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Okay. So saying, you know, when there is an unedifying word that is uttered or a corrupt word that is uttered, communicated, then the Holy Spirit is grieved. Do not grieve. And the verse is following that.  Be kind to one another. Tender hearted. Forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. So which means that all these other things like bitterness and wrath and anger, when we display, when we see it or it is seen in our lives. Who is grieved? The Holy Spirit is grieved, right? So the fact is that he can be grieved and also that he can make us know or communicate the fact to us that he is grieved, that we sense in our spirit that the Holy Spirit is grieved. I just want to share a quick example. I remember once, you know, I used to work for an organization. I was in corporate sales and I was meeting some clients and so on. This is before I started serving in the church. And I was in this place called Mangalore and, you know, I had an appointment with a client at about 10 a.m. And I was in my hotel room and these were the days when the Lord really took me out of a lot of strongholds and weeded a lot of things out of my life. And I was, you know, enjoying my time with God again. Right? So I was just reading the word and just worshiping and just going, wow, there's so much in this Bible. And I'm just reading. So I'm 45, I just had this thought, hey, I need to meet the client. And it was close by, but I said, okay, maybe I'll just continue to read the word.  Let's just do that. I can meet him later. But immediately I sensed that God was not pleased in my spirit. You know, the time that I was enjoying and I could sense the joy of the Lord. No, there's so much of joy, so much of peace. Well, this was a good thing. You know, reading the Bible. But I was not doing the thing which was actually needed at that time, right? Which God had actually placed me in that company. The company was paying me money to go there and meet the client and get the work done. That was the right thing to do at that time. The Holy Spirit was agreed. I could sense the grief of the Lord. And I couldn't enjoy the Bible reading anymore. And I knew that, okay, I had to do that. So, you know, so I realized that, hey, the Holy Spirit speaks. There was the Holy Spirit. I can grieve the Holy Spirit, but not doing the right thing. You know, even if it's a good thing that I'm currently doing, if it's not the right thing, the Holy Spirit is grieved. Okay. So if our life is sensitive, the way we live, the way we conduct our life is sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Well, that's all. That's all we need, right? We have the Word of God. We have the Spirit of God. And we can live in victory. Right? Okay. The Holy Spirit speaks. Meaning, we have God who speaks. You know, the more we study about the Holy Spirit, it's so exciting. You know, as a believer, I just want to say this. As a believer, you and I are blessed. You and I have a great deal. You know, in business terms, it's a great deal. We signed up to follow Christ, and we got more than what we bargained for.  And I remember the first time this revelation hit me. I was so excited that I could not sleep. So excited.  He was brooding. He was hovering over the waters. Can you imagine? Earth was not populated. And it needs to be created. And the Holy Spirit was brooding. And then we reach through Scripture and we see the Spirit of God speaking to man, and Abraham, and all the other prophets, and God doing amazing things. Elisha, Elijah, the power, the wonder, the fire from heaven, all these wonderful things happening, prophets prophesying, the miraculous. And the Holy Spirit was witness to these things. The Holy Spirit was involved in, you know, bringing, making all these things happen. Then we come to the early church, the Book of Acts, and we see the Holy Spirit, you know, baptizing all these people, filling them with the Spirit and with this power and giving them new language, praying out in tongues, and the church is born, and they're just going, radical people, sharing the gospel, signs, wonders, miracles, you know, God releasing gifts. The same Holy Spirit, right? And the same Holy Spirit comes and indwells me and you and me, you and I, when we receive Jesus. And He's not just sitting there dormant, but He's teaching. He's convicting us of sin. He shows us, you know, He delights in us. And then He's grieved. He releases gifts and He gives us power to overcome sin. That stubborn sin that we thought that we would never shake off. He gives us the power. It's a wonderful thing. Right? So as you can't just say, I'm following Jesus. I'm just getting by each day. No, no, no, no. You are following the King of kings and Lord of lords and you and God has entrusted us. The Lord Jesus, He went to heaven and He said, I will send another helper, one like me who is apart from me, one like me and He will lead you. He will lead you into all truth. Right? So we have the same Holy Spirit who was at creation, the same Holy Spirit who inspired the writing of the scriptures. The same Holy Spirit indwells us today right now, even as you're listening. Wow. Right? Amazing. I couldn't sleep that night. I remember I was sitting at the window and I was saying, wow, so excited. Holy Spirit, God with me, in me, talking to me. So we have a God who speaks. You know, the Bible is not about just lifeless principles or formula or do's and don'ts. Wow, it's an amazing dynamic, life-giving, exciting relationship. Like, God speaks. Now just think about that for a minute. God speaks. The one who is all powerful, the one who is all knowledgeable, the one who is ever present, He chooses to speak to you and I. Just think about that. He is speaking to us. He is imparting His wisdom to us. Of course, we need to learn. We need to be sensitive. We need to be obedient and all that we will do. He will help us do it. That's the thing. By the Spirit, we put the deeds of the body. So He is saying, okay, I've chosen you. I've called you. I have wonderful life for you. And I'm not going to just release you and say that, okay, you get it done. No. I'm going to come and indel you now. Okay, I'm not just going to be outside of you, but I'm going to be inside of you, speaking to you, teaching you.  I will instruct you. And yeah, I know that you're struggling with certain things. Right from your teenage years, you've been struggling. You've been having some fears. You've been esteeming yourself lower. And whenever you meet with some successful people, you kind of shrink. I know that problem. But I'm going to help you overcome that. Because by my power, by the Spirit, you will put the deed to death, the deeds of the body. And He's saying, I will come. I will speak. You lack wisdom. You ask. I'm going to show. So this is who God is. This is the Holy Spirit. And He has come to be with us. Okay? So exciting. So amazing. So He speaks. We pray. He's listening. He speaks. He speaks to us through His people. He puts things in our hearts and He confirms that through other people. He speaks. He can be insulted. Right? Hebrews 29 talks about, you know, how can we insult the Spirit of grace? But we can do that. We can insult a human being by saying things that that person has not done or insulting their intelligence. Well, he can be insulted. He can be blasphemed. What does that mean?  And He does things out of righteousness and holiness is nature. But when we say that certain attributes, certain things to God, and we speak ill of Him, then, you know, we know that we are blaspheming Him. Right? He can be blasphemed too. The Pharisees did that when they attributed, when they saw Jesus delivering a person who was demon possessed, when they delivered that person. And then they said, they attributed that to Beelzebub. And they said, no, you know, He doesn't do it by the power of the Spirit, but by the power of Beelzebub. So He can be blasphemed too. And also the Lord talks about, you know, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, which cannot be forgiven and so on. So He can be blasphemed too. He can be resisted. You know, the fact is that this, you know, here's the thing. This all-powerful, all-knowing God, He doesn't force His way in, which is amazing. He respects His creation. He's given us free will. He's given us the power of choice. And a beautiful picture is what we see in the book of Revelation where, you know, when we're talking about the lukewarm church and Revelation 3 and verse 20, the whole, I stand at the door and knock. He says, you know, He says, I stand at the door and knock. And He who opens, oh yes, I will come, I will fellowship, I will spend time. But He stands at the door and knock, which means that, you know, when the Lord is doing something, I can resist His work because of my choice, because of my stubbornness, or because of whatever, you know, whatever fears the diamond. I can resist His work. I can say, God, stop it enough.  It might be a good thing. But whatever, you know, I make a choice and I can say, you know, stop it. You know, I'm not doing this further. I can be disobedient. I can resist the work of the Spirit. Okay, that's something that we need to know. And He can also be quenched in the sense, 1 Thessalonians 519 talks about the fact, you know, while talking about prophecy and so on. Paul writes, and he says, you know, do not quench the Spirit.  Okay, so 1 Thessalonians, let's look at verse 5 and verse 19. So do not quench the Spirit. And after that, he says, you know, do not despise prophecies, test all things, hold fast, what is good, abstain from everything. So a lot of instruction he gives the church, pray without seizing, rejoice always and everything, give thanks. And so on. Then he also says, you know, do not quench or do not put out the fire. The Lord is leading you in a certain way. The Lord is, you know, asking you to do certain things and He's leading you, you know, do not quench. Do not quench His work, do not quench the work of the Holy Spirit. So we see, when we look at all these things, when we look at the fact that He has a will, He has an intellect, He searches, He communicates, He has emotions, He can be insulted, He can be blasphemed and, you know, He can be lied to. We see that the Holy Spirit is a person. While He does powerful things, while He does amazing things, He is a person. So we can relate to Him as a person. He wants us to relate to Him as a person. So that's a beautiful thing. So we're going to take some time to, just a couple of minutes to pray and then before we close this session. But, you know, based on what we have heard now, just go ahead and relate to God as a person. Speak to Him as you have never spoken before. I want you to forget about all these religious words. If you're used to praying in King James English, the Thou, just put it aside for a minute. And just speak to Him as you would to another person. And just say, Lord, you know, He can be loved. And just say, Lord, I love you. Just say, Lord, I thank you. And say, God, I thank you that you indwell me. And, well, you stay with me. You are closer to me than any other human being. And it could be a spouse. It could be a family. And everybody's outside of me. But, God, you indwell me. And you speak to me in the hidden part. You know me inside out. You know, literally He knows us inside out.  So just say, Lord, I love you. God, I thank you. Maybe we can take this time to just say, sorry. You know, maybe, you know, we could be in ministry. We could be in whatever we could be doing, you know. But maybe we ignored, neglected, just talking to God. Just opening up our hearts and talking to Him. Maybe we've kept hidden things hidden in our lives. It's not that He does not know, but we have not really spoken to Him about it. The Holy Spirit, He is close. He is close to us. And He wants us to be close to Him. Father, thank you. Oh, Spirit of God, we thank you. We are truly blessed. Truly blessed. You're an amazing God. Thank you for stepping into our lives. Thank you for calling us out. Thank you for leading us to your heart. Oh, God, we thank you. We thank you for your love, Lord. We thank you for those times that you warned us, Lord. We thank you for your powerful work in us, Lord. Breaking sin of our lives, God. And you're continuing to do that. We thank you that you will never leave us, Lord. We come to abide with us forever, Lord. We thank you. We invite your work, your ministry. Oh, may it increase a thousand times, God. May it increase a thousand times, God. We thank you. I just come at each one, each person here, every student here. Lord, I pray that every waking moment, every time they wake up, Lord, I pray that that conversation will continue. It will not be, prayer will not be a religious thing for certain times of the day, but it will be a constant communion, constant conversation from us, but it to yours, Lord. Thank you. Thank you, Lord. I give you all the praise and we give you all the glory. In Jesus' matchless name, we pray. Amen. Amen. God bless you all. And yeah, thank you, Isaac. Just bring that prayer out in text. Okay, God bless you all. I'm going to stop the recording now and thank you. Sure.


Welcome back, I'm DroneTech and today we're going to take a look at this brutal carjacking and murder that occurred over the weekend in Washington DC.  A guy who was just trying to work and put food on the table for his family. During the carjacking, they tased him and then sped off with him hanging out the window. The car crashed and Mr. Anwar was thrown from the vehicle and killed. The entire incident was caught on video but I don't particularly want to show that but I'll put a link to that in the description. Now let me just be perfectly clear about one thing. I'm not interested in the races of the people involved here. But unfortunately the Democrat Party state media has made skin color the focus of all crimes that they choose to cover. This is a story they couldn't avoid and you know that they couldn't be upfront and honest about the details so predictably deception is the word of the day. But before we get into this let me quickly tell you about this new free offer from my viewers. One of the first commitments made by the new administration is the $2 trillion spending on environmental concerns. With renewables like solar panels, wind turbines, and even batteries for electronic vehicles the use of silver will soar. But of course we don't have enough silver to cover the demand. They said it would take 5.62 million tons of silver to meet all our energy needs. The world's current known official silver reserves that can be assumed to be recoverable for mines is estimated to be less than 600,000 tons. And that is good for investors and the price of silver. If you're thinking of an IRA or a 401k now is the time to look at silver and this month with every gold or silver IRA they're giving away one of these incredible 5 ounce solid silver Apollo 11 memento coins with every silver IRA that started. Click on the noble gold link in the description or pinned comment right now and learn more about future proofing your investments. Auto theft is a crime of opportunity. Follow these steps to reduce the risk of your vehicle becoming a target. Remember the motto, protect your auto.  This is the mayor of Washington DC blaming the victim of this heinous crime for apparently not reducing his risk and becoming a target. Because you know these things just happen. I guess you couldn't think of any mind warping mental gymnastics to blame white supremacy so blaming the victim was the next best thing.  CNN did their part on Twitter dismissing the murder as an accident. Police said the girl 13 and 15 assaulted an Uber ETH driver with a taser while carjacking him, which led to an accident in which he was fatally injured. An accident? Which accident was that? Where the girl's carjacked the old man, when they tasered him then sped off with him hanging out of the car?  Those are just the effects of systemic racism. It's very clear here that the car became self aware and crashed killing this elderly old man just trying to feed his family. And if you think otherwise, that's just colonizer whiteness using logic and reason which we all know are tools of white supremacy. I love Mark Dice's comment here, which sent the left wingers into convulsions exposing their complete lack of self awareness. People who blame everything bad that happens on earth to white people upset that someone points out what the CNN article purposely avoided. And in regards to the media deflecting from the skin color of the murderers in this case, check out ABC's contribution to the Muddy Waters, where they make no mention of the girl's skin color but prominently display a picture showing a white person in handcuffs. It even looks like a kid to go along with the byline. Or how about this Yahoo News White House correspondent that finds the sharing of this story to be the work of white supremacists saying quote, There's a lot of far right commentators sharing this horrific story and highlighting the fact that the perpetrators were black. But there are also more mainstream conservatives sharing this story including from outlets like The Daily Caller and the GOP operatives. In some cases they're copying videos taken directly from far right explicitly racist voices including the popular gab and telegram account. Anyone who truly thought Anwar's life mattered would not use his death to make straw man arguments in some unrelated political argument. I mean really? This is literally what they do with every single police shooting of a black person while always ignoring when it happens to a white person. Okay I'm sure there are lots more examples of this victim blaming and attempts to deflect but since I'm banned from Twitter it's kinda hard for me to find. Feel free to post some examples in the comments or in the community post I made on this topic. That's all for this one. Thanks for watching.

Personal notice, dangers my stock and trade. If the job's too tough for you to handle, you got a job for me, George Valentine. Write full details. Standard Oil Company of California, on behalf of independent Chevron gas stations and standard stations throughout the west, invites you to let George do it. Sweet are the uses of publicity. A transcribed adventure of George Valentine. Dear Mr. Valentine, believe me, trouble I've got like the hives, danger I've got like dandruff, but who wants to scratch either one? Why should I ruin my expectancy when there's a man like your caliber, advertisers, he should unwrap people's loads from their backs? No answer. It's for you, you've got it. A job, it's yours. Now listen, so much for politeness. You're going to keep me from an early death. You're going to throw out of work my tombstone maker. And how?  The place? The police bay uptown, meet you at the side entrance at eight o'clock. The name, Jacob S. Flannery, Jake to you. That's me. The job? Believe me, Mr. Valentine, it's a job all right.  A bodyguard to a man who doesn't exist. Only got ten minutes, Valentine. Guests will be upstairs in ten minutes. A bartender, Pete. The usual and make it fast. Yes, sir, Mr. Flannery. Coming up. Is there anybody around here you don't know? Anywhere, Miss Brooks. Anywhere and I wish it weren't so. Ten minutes rest. The first all day. Ten beautiful days.  Mr. Valentine, you surprised me too. No, I said that. You'll have to excuse the letter. But I figured private eye, tough Joe, make him like it. Get in tune with his sympathy. Get him here. If it sounded like no grammar, excuse it. Here you are, Mr. Flannery. Oh, thank you, sir. The usual water? For my pills. Dietitian says they're no good. Stomach specialist does. Analyst doesn't care, so I take the advice of myself. Valentine, I get myself into a person's personality, see? I'm fluid, flexible, in harmony with the situation. Suppose you just tell us what your business is and what our job is tonight and let it go at that. But that's what I'm doing. It's me, my talent, my career. And it's all teetering in the balance. Tonight is the night. Mr. Flannery. I build romance, Miss Brooks. I give glamour where there was only gallstones. Pearls out of paste. Oh, here's my card. Personality builder? Publicity, is that it? Is that what you want? Publicity agent? Valentine, please. There's no person alive who can put his own best foot forward, so I do it for him. I touch up his public picture. I stick him in the public eye. Sure, publicity, press relations, whatever you like. But in two years, I've built up a suite of ten offices. You'd be surprised at some of the clients I have. Excuse me, please. Caleb Romano. Have you ever heard of that name? Of course. He's that Czechoslovakian or Romanian. I'll say I have, and he's not in your league, Buster. The epitome of romance. He was my first client, Valentine. Okay, sorry.  Always see his name going to some glamorous spot over there in Europe? Being chased by some rich widow? A bachelor, the charmer, the dilettante, the dream of what every dull man of 40 would like to be.  Caleb Romano does not exist. I made him up. What? Oh, now, wait a minute. I've read about you. Yeah, but you've never actually seen a picture of him, have you? Well, maybe not, but Caleb Romano is... Quiet. I'm trusting you.  Newspapers, magazine editors. I've built my business on Caleb Romano. The other clients I've got, they're honest men. I'm an honest man. Oh, yes, sure. Honest like the day is short, pulling a fraud like this. Listen, two years ago I wasn't even eating regular. I had to do something. So I dreamed up Romano. It's easy to get publicity for somebody who doesn't exist, particularly when you keep them in Europe. Well, you're not barred down. You don't have to tell the truth about them. Well, anyway, it worked. When other people heard Romano was a client of mine, in came business. The tailored suits I'm in. Well, then what are you worried about? Being out, being exposed. I made the mistake of having him come to the U.S. in Cognito. Reporters are beginning to get puzzled. They sniff around. He's been an albatross around my neck. Frankenstein built a monster, and now Frankenstein's monsters. Haunts me. I try to forget them. Drop it. They won't let me. It's every day. Where's Romano? Press agents grab me and say... Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Calm down, will you? This party tonight upstairs, and this bodyguard to nobody's stuff, and you're letting... I said tonight's the night. Caleb Romano is going back to Europe to retire forever. Tonight, we lay the ghost. What? It's a farewell party. The whole present town is invited. Column is the works. I say I've got a surprise for them. A chance to say goodbye to the man they've been itching to meet. Only, of course, he'll be regrettably detained and forced to dash straight for the boat instead. So they don't know it, but they'll never meet him in the first place. You get it? Genius. Sheer genius. Desperation, that's all. Be sarcastic, but help me. Please help me. Stand by if I need you, in case any of that bloodthirsty mob up there won't swallow the sweet talk and demand they gotta see him. Mr. Valentine, believe me, not even I've got this far before. It takes help to give a party for nobody. It also takes gifts to give a party for nobody. Don't look now, Mr. Flannery, but I don't see anybody but the waiter. The gentleman with the press left Mr. Flannery just a moment ago. Apparently they received a phone call.  Stop waving your arms. What phone call? Yes, sir, of course, sir, apparently they had an opportunity to meet someone they wished to meet. I can't say as I blame them. I've been fascinated by the stories about him myself. What is all this? Yes, sir, I believe they all went somewhere together. Someone had arranged a personal interview with that foreigner Caleb Romano. Imagine, they're going to meet him in person.  I know the president of the line, the chairman of the board and me are just like that. Hey, come back here. Don't argue with the stockholders. Come on, Valentine. All right, all right, belly hole, we're aboard. Now it's a slow down. I got tickets for them for a stateroom woman. When you perpetrate a fraud, you certainly do it up fancy. Well, I had to. I had to carry out the full pretence. It's not easy to get rid of a man who doesn't exist. Slam under that squirrel cage and say it straight, would you? The reporters didn't know what kind of a party you had planned back there. Somebody else phones and says Caleb Romano could be seen in person someplace else. What makes you think we'll find Claude? He's the only one. It could be Claude. The steward. Valentine, I had to take him into my confidence, too. I paid a steward $1,000 to maintain the pretence until the ship was at sea. We reserved an empty stateroom, bought tickets. Some editor was bound to check out when I gave out the story that Romano had left, so I thought... You think the steward was the one who telephoned? But why would he say they could come down here and see Romano in person when... Oh, just to get in the act to grab up the spotlight publicity. What else does anybody do anything for? Takes my cash then gets the credit for exposing me. Come on, come on. I'll shove that left toward right through the other side of his face. He'll never be able to bite another hand that feeds him. Oh, no, you don't know. You don't stop, would you? Bruxy, find me the person with the ship. Buster, you're just going to take some more pills. Valentine. I'll take care of your double crosser for you and the newspaper man. So long, Elsie. I'm going after this publicity myself. Young man, are you going to be on this ship? Oh, delightful. I was only just saying to the chamberman. I said, how dreary the ocean must be without... I'm sorry, lady. Excuse me. I'm looking for... Oh, but that's the end of the corridor. There are no more rooms. The lady is quite correct, sir. Perhaps you are lost. There is only one A. Well, that's what I'm looking for, one A. Hey, you're Claude, aren't you? Yes, sir. Claude? Well, perhaps you could help me, Stuart. Oh, lady, please. I only wanted a cup of bouillon. Excuse me. In just a moment, madam. No one is to be admitted to cabin one A, so the gentleman doesn't wish to be disturbed. Buster, where are the reporters? I beg your pardon, sir. Look, I work for the same guy you do. Flannery. Did you call reporters? Really, sir. I don't follow you. I haven't seen a single gentleman of the press aboard this ship.  Oh, no, sir. Everything's gone beautifully, just beautifully. If you're on the in, as we say, you may tell Mr. Flannery we've done a masterful job of his little deception. You have? Oh, yes, sir. See, even dummy suitcases outside the empty cabin, and I have the only key. You may tell him no one has come near here. Now, if you'll excuse me, sir, the lady's bouillon. Yeah, yeah, sure, go on. There's a companion way up there for you to get back up to the deck, sir. Yeah. Cabin one A, huh? A masterful deception. George? George, George, the ship has sailed. I'm trying to tell you the ship has sailed. I can hear you. I can hear you. Hey, where are we? On the ship. We left the dock half an hour ago. Oh, that doesn't have all the crazy stupids.  Hey, where's Flannery? I suppose he got off already. Open your eyes, detective. I'm right here.  Have a pill. A bartender. Oh, Buster, wait a minute. George, the ship stops pretty quick at the Outer Harbor Light Station. We can get off when they drop off the pilot. Just a second, Angel.  Let go of me. There's no Caleb Romano you say. Come help me you say. Valentine. George, I believe it. There's a million reporters running around loose, only they keep disappearing. No, no, no. Stop it. What's come over you?  There you see. Nobody. Yeah. Yeah, it's empty, all right? Just like you said. Like the Stuart said. Mr. Valentine. All right, all right, so I'm wrong. Just because somebody stabs me, I act like one. But Flannery, somehow, on this hot air excursion. Hey. Hey, the boat's stopping. George, that's what we were just trying to tell you. Huh? Oh, yeah, the light station.  No, George, the reporters. That's why we're stopping. The what? There weren't any other. The little geniuses' hoax is still nice and undetected, isn't it? At the light station, the purser got them there. What? When you sent me to find him, remember? The purser said he was the one who telephoned that hotel. He's having the ship stop half an hour at the light station for them to come aboard. The purser? Why? Oh, you innocent babe. Why, he says. They saw Romano's name on the passenger list. That's why. Now the steamship company wants to get into the act. Show up there, big passenger. Romano. It's for pa... Oh, no. No, I can't say it. It's for publicity, George. They want some publicity, too. Oh, brother, brother. Now I've heard everything. All right, Bruxy, this is where we came from. Hey, wait a minute. Valentine, wait. You built yourself this headache buster? Oh, don't worry. Just show the boys from the press the albatross around your neck. You explain to them why this cabin's empty. But me, I'm true with them. Where do you think you're going? Lieutenant Riley. That's right. Nobody's coming aboard this ship with me, Valentine. Now, what in the name of... A fisherman complained somebody threw a body in his net. What? You heard me. Right in the harbor here, a body was thrown off this ship. A man, a big shot. That guy you read so much publicity about. Caleb Romano. The man who doesn't exist. Hey, what's the matter with that bird there behind you? George, I think Mr. Flannery fainted. We'll return to tonight's adventure of George Valentine in just a moment. Every time you have to use the choke to get your car started, don't forget it results in extra engine wear as well as a delay in time. And what makes an engine hard to start anyway? Often it's the fault of gummy gasoline. Gummy gasoline? Yes, indeed. It's caused by the impurities that exist in most raw gasoline. But Chevron Supreme is the gasoline that is super refined to prevent engine sticking gum, to keep spark plugs, rings, and carburetor free of this contaminant. That's why Chevron Supreme gives you that new car feeling. Not only faster starting, but quicker pickup and traffic, and ping-free power on the steepest hills. Just try super refined Chevron Supreme. It's the gasoline that gives you full mileage in the kind of driving you do. Buy Chevron Supreme at independent Chevron gas stations and standard stations, where they say, and mean, we take better care of your car. Now back to tonight's adventure of George Valentine. Caleb Romano was a romantic, mysterious figure, a bachelor sought after by many women, friend of the great, maker of tabloid headlines, a dream of what every middle-aged man would like to be. But according to Jake Flannery, Caleb Romano was only a dream himself, a nightmare that Flannery created in order to build up his own publicity business. A fraudulent ghost returned to haunt Flannery forever, because now it's no longer a ghost, it's a body, the body of Caleb Romano. Well, if your name is George Valentine, that's what you want to see. Police launched, tied alongside the big ship, several hundred yards off the outer harbor light station. Now you believe me, Valentine, this is the main feature. Pull it, huh? Yeah, that's right, he was shot twice. Thirty-eight revolver. See what I mean, he was murdered and then thrown overboard. Murdered, I said. An awful publicity. What's that? Oh, never mind, refrain of a song. Ronnie, it must have happened just after I got cracked over the head. There's a big window in Cabin 1A. Somebody must have heard the ship was going to stop again and have reporters running all over the place. So they got scared and shoved the body through it. Hey, wait a minute, Ronnie, hold it. Mr. Valentine, Mr. Fa...  Hi, blood pressure. Where's your respect for the living? Is that any way to talk? Just wondered if you got things straight with the inspector. Flannery, I'm a lieutenant this season. And yes, I've heard that slew-stop story of yours, and furthermore, I'm convinced you're the only fake around here, see? You see this pretty gold cigarette case? Huh? Oh, initial, eh? Eh, very classy. C-R. Or would you rather pour around in a wallet? Same initial, C-R. Hey, what else was on the body rally? Eh, doesn't mean anything. Might be Chauncey Rose or Charlie Rappaport or even Captain Riley for all you can... And he was wearing a nice new wristwatch. Caleb Romano. But... but it can't... You engineered all of this, you got the stories for Valentine here? It doesn't exist, I tell ya. I... I don't know why that stuff's on him. Well, who collects not that Romano's dead? That's all I wanna know. No, no, no, no, listen to me, it's not true. And don't give me any more that don't exist stuff. I know, see? I read an article once about Romano in a magazine myself. I wrote that article myself, I made it up. And friend, I'm going to write you a nice long ticket book.  Eh? Riley, I got some more initials. Eh? Mr. Valentine, please tell me. Mr. Valentine, would you? Take a look here. J.W.1929. Mamie H.1931. Hey. Yeah, some marks under his shirt. Here. The names and dates all seem to end around 32. Tattoo. That's right, Busty. Now look here. I'll always love you, Susie. Supposed to be a big romantic international glamour boy, Riley. Yeah. With the names of his girls tattooed on him. Yeah. I think we're finally going to believe you, Flannery. You wrote up Romano as being a foreigner, didn't you? Oh, yes, I did. Yes, yes. Czechoslovakian or Romanian or something. And here on this guy's chest it says, Tell it to the U.S. Marines. So now where are we, huh? It's an impersonation, all right? Impersonation by this guy, whoever he was, of a character written about in the newspaper. Even the wristwatch and the wall of the nude. So we either bought it recently or it was planted on him. Well, naturally I wouldn't have any reason for... Well, I mean, I only dreamed up Romano. I didn't... Well, what's the matter? Come on, Riley. We're going to dream up some answers and stick around, Flannery. Maybe we'll all get our names in the paper. But I'm trying to think, Mr. Valentine. There's so many men aboard a ship, you know, and it's also exciting that at least for a single girl like myself. Yeah, sure, Miss Nelson. Is that it, Nelson? To pick a Nelson's. Oh, I've taught Latin there in the high school, for I don't know how many... Yes, well, will you please try to remember? You see, you were there almost at the right time.  But I prowl all over the ship. I always do at sailing time. I travel a great deal, you know, all of us girls, and it's so thrilling to see what kind of experiences you're going to have. Like men, you mean? Well, really, Lieutenant? Well, that's what he's trying to ask you. Did you see a man in Cabin 1A? Did you happen to look in... Oh, certainly not that forward. Well, did you see a man in the general area? Oh, excuse me, ma'am, but this guy who was in 1A was killed and you're the only person who had even a remote chance of seeing or hearing what... I'm trying, Lieutenant. I am trying. But I was late coming aboard myself and, well, I remember you, Mr. Valentine. There was so much luggage in the corridor. We bumped into each other, didn't we? And, of course, the steward in that section... That's you, Cron. Yes, sir. Yes, of course, sir. I wish I could. Well, there might have been something if only I could... Think, will you, lady? Think, will you, please? Oh, skip it, Riley. Skip it. I understand, Miss Nelson. Thanks very much. Oh, thank you, Mr. Valentine. Yeah. Uh, Claude, you want to repeat that story of yours? If you wish, sir. I was quite busy with the embarkation. From the beginning. I accepted $1,000, yes, sir. Mr. Flannery is an old customer of the line. I only wished to oblige him. It was a very small fraud merely to pretend there was somebody in what I thought to be an empty cabin. I never even looked in that cabin, sir. I locked the door, told anyone who came near that the gentleman inside did not wish to be disturbed. I was pretending that the fictitious Mr. Romano was in there and I went about my duties. You locked the door without looking in? Yes, sir. If it was already locked by somebody leaving, you'd have noticed it. Or if it was locked from the inside by that guy who got killed or somebody else, you'd have noticed that, too. What? And it would have been locked, of course, since the body hadn't been thrown overboard yet. So in either case, you would have noticed it, but you didn't. You said the door was unlocked. Really? The logic you're trying to use, sir? Now, tell me, Buster, why is it the more nervous you get the tighter you hold your hand against your side? No, no, no, I... That's where you keep your precious $1,000? Or is that where... Get away from me! It's got a gun! Grab him! Stop it! Let's go! No gun, Riley. Just his wallet, that's all. Give it back! Give it to me! Wow. $1,000? Jake Flannery said he gave you $1,000, but holy smoke! Two, three, four, five, six. All right, now, Claude, where'd you get the extra five, and don't waste any words this time. His name is Bernel. Sam Bernel. Go on. I met him. Never mind. That's not important. He's just a man, or was, I should say. Unsuccessful at a good many things, in and out of trouble, in and out of the Marines, in Vorderville with a knife-throwing act, bicycle stunt rider on a tandem. You can check all this yourself. The only important thing was he had some money saved up and wanted to invest it. And you had something to sell? In a manner of speaking, yes, sir. Well, it did seem ridiculous to me for Mr. Flannery to have built up that beautiful personality of Caleb Romano and then just want to throw it away. So you sold the vacancy to this Sam Bernel? Well, the role did have inducements. Perhaps he wished to write a book or marry one of these wealthy creatures who were always chasing after Mr. Romano in the Sunday supplements. Perhaps he... Yeah, sure, I get it. It was a perfect confidence game for him. But I don't see yet why he got killed. Neither do I, sir. I know nothing about his murder. Uh, thank you, Claude. You're under arrest. But, Lieutenant... He'll call it material witness for the time... School teacher! Somebody pushed her. You can't just fall over that rail. What's the matter with the lights? Get a light down there! Miss Nelson, huh? She did know something. She did remember something. She'd be on the surface if she were alive, wouldn't she? Sail her down there now. I wonder where Flannery is. The tide's running offshore, Lieutenant. It's carrying her out. Don't get that launch going. Come on, come on! Oh, George, maybe she never even guessed what it was. She saw her herd that was important. Come on, hurry up, Alexander. Come on, come on. Don't wait for me. George! I got something else to do, Angel. So long. I'll see you later. You heard me, Buster. Give me that boat. Well, welcome, lady. I've been on shore waiting for you. Mr. Valentine. I don't swim very well. I saw the lights. Couldn't tell directions. Yeah, the current's pretty strong. But you'll be all right.  Easy, doesn't it? That's it. Oh, thank you. Yeah, not as young as you used to be, I guess. No, no, no. Don't try to talk.  Oh, here we are. Just sit here. Now, get your breath. Pretty tough trying to swim like that after killing a man. What did you say? Yeah, you're the one who knocked me out, too, I guess. I was headed for cabin 1A. I had to be stopped so the body could be gotten out of there, tossed overboard. You mustn't talk like that, young man. Cabin 1A. You called it a room. The old traveler, huh? Called a passageway or corridor, too. Several other things. Mr. Valentine. J.W. 29. Mame H. 1930. Dates all ended in 32. None after. I noticed that. No. What happened then? Claude says Bernal tried vaudeville with a knife-throwing act. That takes a partner. Bicycle stunt rider for a while on a tandem takes a partner. Little Latin teachers don't develop the nerve or muscles for a swim in water like that. Mrs. Bernal? No, no, I'm not Mrs. Bernal. You answer pretty quick, don't you? Sure it must have been.  Old girlfriends and all. He was on his way to become the big international bachelor, pursued by the women of five continents.  Oh, you can never understand. So you follow after the hill, get aboard ship, and then lose your temper, I guess. And then on it's a three-ring madhouse. The tide's running off shore now, you know.  But you wouldn't be here, would you, unless you dived off that ship on purpose, unless you were trying to run away. It was his gun. He had a gun. We struggled. Yeah, yeah, sure. I guess there's a lot on your side. Hey, hey down there. What's that? What's going on down there? Just take it easy. Look on me. Who are they? Hey, what's the pitch? What's with the ship out there? We're running out of poker chips. You just come from that ship out there? Reporters, that's all, Mrs. Bernal. From the outer harbour light station. Every reporter in town's still waiting. Hey, what is it? What's up? I tell you, we're getting pretty sick and tired of these publicity gags. The jury are let Mrs. Bernal off easy. I'm in tune with that kind of stuff, Miss Brooks. Symphony and sob, that's the angle. Husband was a rat going to go away and be a playboy like he was before 32. Like, like I remember once I ran up some stuff in a bomber. Stabbed his mother-in-law. The angle was... Mr. Flannery, I thought you were all through with publicity. You mean it's through with me, don't you? He hadn't got smart in the first place. This guy, Bernal... No, George. If the job of being killer, Bernal hadn't been around, that man would have left his wife some other way. With probably the same results. Thank you, beautiful. Thank you. Yeah, maybe you're right, Brooks. So long, Flannery. Oh, no, wait a minute, Valentine. I've got an idea. I'm grateful, see? So I take and I build you up, see? I make people George Valentine conscious. You what? Well, what's the matter? You want to be a hermit or something? Get out of here. The only trouble is you need a little more human interest. Home and fireside, soft lights and junk. Now, if you'll just take that dame draped around your neck there and... I said get... Hey, wait a minute. You mean... Well, it's an idea, isn't it? Mr. Flannery, it's a wonderful idea. Imagine how you'd feel if you found that your car's fuel tank had a slow leak and that you were losing one gallon of gasoline out of every 10. Expensive? You bet. But many motorists are losing that much gasoline simply because of worn and neglected spark plugs. At 35 miles an hour, your car's spark plugs have to fire about 5,000 times a minute and in a temperature ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. No wonder the porcelain sometimes cracks. No wonder the plugs need cleaning and resetting periodically. In fact, if your spark plugs have traveled more than 10,000 miles, chances are you'll be money ahead by getting new Atlas Champion spark plugs. They have the finest insulating material ever developed for spark plugs and efficiency beyond that of any other spark plug. So to prevent gasoline waste and for better engine performance, go on Atlas Champion spark plugs and have them inspected at regular intervals.
