So I took a little bit the process. The fact that Bellamy is just alive and realized that Oda literally gaslit me for about 400 episodes and they're thinking he was dead. So at this point in One Piece, unless we have like an ace scenario where there is an entire like just donut as way too many of you say, through someone's entire chest and I see the light like basically leave their eyes, I'm not counting anybody out anymore. I'm just not. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel. My name is JackTheBus and we're continuing DressRosa today and it has been an adventure non-stop and we're just getting started. If you're new to the channel, make sure you drop a sub and drop a fat like on this one if you haven't already and let's get into it. I like his design. Cavendish of the White Horse. Everybody knows 280 million, not bad, not bad. So does he have a White Horse or is it just of the White Horse? Oh my gosh, bro is ego about it too? Ew. Ew. Wait, what? Oh yeah, he's fighting for the double fruit. Wait, how is he, how does he have such a high bounty? No double fruit. He must be a strong fighter. Come here.  I mean, you can leave some of it on Luffy. Look at him. I wanna see Cavendish fight, man. 280 million with no double fruit. I think it's doable, but still impressive. He has to have hockey. Now leave on the cape of the helmet, it looks sick. Is he eating that flower? Oh, that's interesting.  Just say Lucy, bro. Oh my gosh, man. Oh yeah. Dude, he for real can't be left alone. Everybody in there recognized his name. Everybody knows him. He's just eating the rose now. The real one is an eight meter tall giant. Funny how our rumors spread. Oh, so he don't like Luffy. Oh, he's been here for a minute. Oh, he does have a white horse. Everybody was talking about Luffy instead. Oh no, he was famous and Luffy stole his fame. Oh my gosh. Who, me? Oh my gosh. Oh my God. The slow just descended the darkness. Yeah, bro, he's literally just jealous that he took away his fame. His spotlight, new rookies one after another. I'm glad he has like not a petty reason to come after Luffy. I'm really glad. I mean, if he's already pretty strong and he gets a flare flare, he could be a real, Luffy's already just forgotten about him. Luffy's attention span is just not there. Oh, somebody's listening. It's a big old boy. Gulp. I mean, we've been in so many characters so quickly. It's gonna take me a bit. Nope, there's another one with a focus. Oh my goodness. I just realized, yeah, seeing a woman. I haven't seen any other women in here. Oh, she's near Luffy. Sorry, Lucy. Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.  Like she's his daughter or something. Or like descendant. I don't know how long this statue's been here. How Kairos was. It's like this old man. He's like this old man. Rebecca. I'm gonna check it out. Thank you. Oh. I didn't like it. Oh, no problem.  He's a legend. A legend? She looks up to him at the very least. Yeah. The strongest gladiator in the history of the Colosseum. 3,000. 3,000 and zero. What a beast. A single slash from who? Until 20 years ago. Who landed a hit on him? No one knows about him. I mean, doesn't he long gone? It was forever ago? Kairos. I don't know if the... Wait, what? What? They just take it for granted or take it as the truth? Oh, she's wearing like nothing. It is a cool statue. You can barely even see Kairos' face. More cat calling. Undefeated girl.  I feel like Lucy and Rebecca will team up now, like in the arena. Oh. Dang, bro. Yo, team up with us. Oh, they're not in the same block. Thank goodness. Good luck. Oh, she's so nice. Interesting. So I should probably think about Kairos a little bit more in terms of the overall scheme of things. If it's that mysterious and that unknown about whether or not he actually existed and whatnot. I don't know. Who's rolling all these? Oh, my gosh. It's the masked guy, yeah. Mr. Store? That's his name? Huh? What? Who? Dude, it's everybody trying to like 30v1 this one guy. Oh, my gosh, bro. Lucy's still trying to jump.  Happy Store. Did he get that from a store called Happy Store? Like, bro. Is he, did he win? I think he won. Is that block A done? Oh, shoot. We have our first winner. Dang. All right. Big ups, Happy Store. Impressive. Bag like waving in the wind. Oh, face reveal. Oh, my gosh. This is huge. Who is it? They all know. Nice! Even Luffy knows. OK, dude. You can't be serious. Should I know? He's like a big fellow like that. Oh, Shuei Jesus. No shot. Wait, is Blackbeard here then? Oh, dang. He was like a wrestler, too. Oh, my gosh. He's here? Freaking, uh, based off of his hair. Some people are inevitably going to start cheering for him. He's a strong fighter. That's what these people want. That's kind of what the theme was. I would bet money that there's more of them here now. More of the Blackbeard Pirates. Unless he's here in Dressrosa all alone. Oh, the little soldier.  Stop. Stop saying that so loudly. Please, man. Frankie. Everybody's looking at him. Get out of there, guys. I wonder, uh, such a radical thing. I wonder why he has taken such a liking to Frankie, though. Harudin, the missionary Gambia. Why is he freaking out? Wait, is that a Navy phone? It looks like a Navy phone. Yishosan. Oh, goodness. Staff of some pirate group, the Bartow Club. Oh, interesting. The missionary, oh, Gambia. Oh, he has, like, leopard-looking things. He has, like, a cross across his chest. Kind of reminds me of the Whitebeard Cross. I think these are undercover Navy officers, like, reporting. It seems like it. I guess it would make sense based off of Del Vamigo just now retiring. Ooh. Ooh. You don't want any part of this, man. Oh, shoot. Oh, shoot. He cut him down. Oh, my gosh. So it's more than them just spying. Dude, who is this giant man? This insane blind swordsman. Oh, he's going with that guy. Wait, is he from the Navy? Oh. Wait. He's going to drag it down. Bro. Bro. God, he's just enormous. He is Navy. Wait. Oh, shoot. What rank, though? He has to be really high ranked, how strong he is. Does this say? I can't read that. Read Navy ships. Oh, shoot. Not the docks. An admiral. Oh, they're going to Green Bay. Fujitora Isho. Oh, they did say Isho. Oh, he replaced Aokiji. Wait, there's still one missing sloth in it, because it kind of is fleet admiral. Oh, shoot. Oh, shoot, there's an admiral. No, that makes sense, though, how strong he was. Is it necessary? He's going to go to Green Bay, where the handoff is supposed to happen. Interesting perspective, though. He has the protection mentality, which I feel like is a good sign. Oh, shoot. So now the admirals are Kizuru and him, and there's still one missing spot, though. Unless they've already filled that too, and they just haven't told us. Oh, shoot. They're kicking in the action. Oh, maybe this guy is another admiral. Oh, Capman? He straight killed Gambia. Oh, wait, no, he's not dead. Just throw him in the trash. Oh, Vice Admiral. OK, Maynard the pursuer. Oh, shoot, it's getting juicier, man. Hello, too. What's happening in Dressrosha? Oh, shoot, Isho.  He's a cool admiral, too. I respect it. Oh, man, it's go time. Is that him? Oh, my gosh. Let me see. He's way big. Oh, he knows it's Luffy. Oh, my gosh. And Luffy recognizes him right away. Anyway, what was the rest of his name? I just remembered Isho. Man, what an introduction for him, though. Fuji Tora. OK, I don't know what to. I'll call him Isho, probably.  Fuji Tora. Oh, my gosh, man. So an admiral, he's already here, has already taken notes. That's why whenever he saw Luffy, he knew, I think he knew who he was, like he saw through the disguise, but chose not to reveal his hand yet. And that's why whenever he said, he said, I won't tell you for both my sake and your sake. It's a big deal that he's here, and he wants to, I think, be a little bit more methodical about what happens because we really don't know why exactly he's here. Since Doflamingo isn't protected by the Navy anymore, he resigned. The Navy's kind of in between right now because there's sort of three parties. The Straw Hats, the Doflamingo, the Don Quixote family, and now the Navy, 635. Scene one. What is this? Oh, shoot. Dude, look at him.  He's way bigger. Oh, my gosh, forever I go. Is it the same voice actor? It's been so long. His ability was really cool. The springs bounced all over the place. I mean, Luffy finished them in one hit, though. Yeah, one single punch. Makes Saitama proud. Ha ha ha ha! Mauro! Not even close, Luffy. The former captain of the Bellamy Pirates. Oh, shoot. 195 million bounty. God dang. He's been my pirate hero. I mean, isn't the Doflamingo's, like, insignia on his literal chest? No interest in that. I mean, you can't take it. You already have a Doflfruit. Oh, shoot a rematch? He's probably way stronger now. What? No way. Turn my view of the world upside down. Wait. That's what I was thinking, like, harass them or something. Oh, my gosh. Wow. He actually went. The wild wave that will come sooner or later. What? Done picking on you. You couldn't pick on him, even if you wanted to, little bro. That's interesting, though, that he said his world got turned upside down. Like, maybe he reassessed how he viewed the world. I think he means he's gonna fight under Doflamingo, though. This is the one stalking the vice admiral. Ugh. Ugh. So many unique designs here at Dressrosa, though I will say. Is that Caesar under? Oh, my gosh, there's no way. There is no way. Oh, my gosh, they all have mustaches. Ooh. That's the bridge to Green Bit? So Green Bit isn't just like a, I guess, regular part of the island. That's why they're doing the handoff there. School of fighting fish inhabit the area. Fighting fish? The fact that Caesar is just sitting here, bro. Good question. Savage fish with horns. Oh, wait. Are those the ones in the Colosseum? Changed the handing over spot. Yeah, they had to cross the dangerous bridge to get there. And everybody's fine with it. Yeah.  I think it depends on if he, like, names a successor, like a king to replace him. Who is that? Dude, there's no way there's more characters that I'm gonna have to remember. Oh, my gosh, that is a tall MF-er, bro. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. They're the greatest, the strongest Cypherpole. Why are they here? Oh, my God. Everybody is in dress, Rosa. What is happening, bro? Cypherpole zero? You're kidding. Oh, scene three, the fairy and Zoro. Okay. It's just kind of trying to keep track. I cannot believe Zoro is still chasing this thing. It has been like four episodes. He's right there. Come on, Zoro. It can't be that fast, man. At this point, you deserve to lose it. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. CP zero. This is insanity. God, one of them was insane. I mean, two of them were really tall. Got it, finally. Oh, my gosh, man. Oh, oh, I think we saw a glimpse of the fairy. Oh, the fairy fell too. This human will save me. Okay, so it's not human. Zoro is only the first to get close enough to be able to... Oh, he sees it. Stray Kinamon. Oh, my gosh. And then Kinamon's just being stalked by someone. Oh, there's so many trails to follow. What? What is this like gang, bro? Oh, yeah, that was the original guy following him with a mask. What? Is he getting jumped?  Isn't that a top nut? Oh, shoot. They're spot on. So the top nut just automatically means you're from Wano? Oh, my gosh. You're so perceptive. Holy cow. Saw you in the v- Oh. Okay, I'm looking for his friend. His fellow swordsman. I really like his sheath, too. Oh, do they have Kanjiro? I mean, obviously they know exactly what he's looking for. So I'm guessing they do have him or know where he is at the very least. What do they want? This gang is a lot more intimidating than I thought. At first, because they look kind of goofy.  You have to assume a lot of them are just cannon fodder. All right, time for round two. We didn't really see much of Block A. Oh, so Bellamy's in B? Oh, I want to see Bellamy fight. I want to see how strong he's gotten. There's the vice admiral. I already forgot his name. Admiral is Isho. I can remember that. Dude, what is this guy? Navy-san. Oh, that was his subordinate? Is he a captain? Oh, Bartolomio! We've heard about him. He was one of the more renowned. Yeah, in the tournament. Am I saying his name right, Bartolomio? He looks kind of cool. He just looks a little goofy. His style's like all over the place. Like he picked one thing and then just completely swapped for the next in terms of his outfit, his look, everything. Scene five. My goodness gracious. Them laying out like this makes me realize how many loose ends there are. I'm happy for Sanji. Honestly, there's no, there's probably one in well. He's just faded knots. Oh, oh, there's a member of the gang. Just wanted to say her name. Dude, it's cute. Violet. So adorable. I was just waiting for it all to come crashing down. He's about to snipe. Oh my gosh, there's no way. There is no way. DIP!  Atta boy. She's like.  Forgive me. How is the weather? Oh my gosh. For you, Violet. For you.  So was that technically hockey that allowed him to do that? Like basically sense that sniper? Aw, it's like a real love too. I would say this up scene, we haven't even seen Sunny since we got here. I would say it's the first true love for Sanji. It seems like it.  One that the show is like actually explored. Just the kiddos on the ship. Poison tester. Training him in his ways. I just wish Chopper has a cute little camo outfit. Chop I am on. A vassal, chop I am on. Oh no, is this like a play? Oh my gosh. Bro, bro. So shameless. You hurt me Nami. Sleeping in your lap Barney. Oh my gosh. Chopper's so cute.  Chopper's very empathetic towards kids. I think cause he's probably like one of the youngest on the crew. He is basically a kid. So he kind of understands. Some kind of trauma. I mean, it seems like it. Aw. So did Momonosuke say he's supposed to be Shogun? I feel like he's like, if he's actually like higher up, like I don't know if it'd be like royalty in Wano, but oh my gosh, the Thor Bark zombies. It would be surprising for him to be like out of the house. So like out off of Wano or off the island. Cause it seems like he would be important in that sense. Either that or he just likes playing Shogun. But I swear he said he was supposed to be or something like that. Who's on the ship? Wait, who? What's this on the ship? I forgot. Oh, it was supposed to be Sanji, but he's not here. Who's that then? Someone's just breaking stuff in the kitchen? Oh my gosh, bro. I don't recognize the voice. Chopper's got a gun. Oh my gosh, bro. My goodness. Oh my gosh, the hand.  Oh, oh my gosh. What is happening in there? What is that? It almost seems like a devil fruit. Like a hallucinogen. What? What is happening on Sunny? Oh shoot, wait. Bartolomio is no joke. He actually roughed up this vice admiral without breaking a sweat either? Oh my gosh. Can I just call him Bartol? You see his double fruit? He's no joke for sure. Yeah, I'm gonna call him Bartol.  Oh, I'm gonna call him Bart. I think he just killed that Navy officer. He put him in the trash. Oh shoot. Did to him what he did to his subordinate. Dang, bro. Bart is no joke. Meanwhile, Sure, dude. You're a bit of a pop-as-dick, but you can watch with us. Oh, Bart's going in. Oh yeah, he did say he was in B. Took him a year to become infamous. He's gotta be pretty strong. He has a blade in his front. Roasted pirates on a skewer and shared the video. He's a live leak poster?  I mean, okay. Bartolomio, I think that's how you say it. Bartolomio. I don't know, bro. We've had more interactions with Cavendish, but Cavendish honestly seems more annoying than Bart so far. But I mean, like I said, that's because we've had more interactions with him. But a lot of big reveals, mostly being that Admiral is here, CP-Zero is here, that's huge. And then whatever's happening on Sunny, I really don't know. The fact that someone is ever on the Sunny that isn't a straw hat or isn't like, I guess, authorized to be here, I feel like it's always a big deal. Just because like A, how did you get here? And B, what are you doing here? And as I said, Dressrosa just continues to deliver. The conversation between Luffy and Bellamy, seeing that Bellamy actually, the one that disregarded Skypia as existing the most, found himself there. But he seems to still be that sort of, it's not like he's like completely turned into a leaf and like follows what Luffy sort of said. He still seems to be pretty like relatively evil. Instead, he's pretty much submitted himself to being under Delfamingo's command. I forget what he said, like the Wild Wave or something. I'm guessing he's just saying if things get rough or if like war breaks out to any extent, he'll be basically with Delfamingo, wherever Delfamingo is. He still looks up to him very obviously. But I mean, the fact that he's even alive is just a shocker in and of itself. But guys, that has been it for my reaction today. I hope you did enjoy. Make sure you leave a like on this one if you have not already, it helps me out quite a bit and I will catch you next time. Bis-bis.


Last week in my research for the Codex Kegis, I discovered the world's most dangerous book, a book that the world will tell you is fiction, but we believe is actually reality. This, of course, is the Necronomicon. And after finding the Necronomicon and doing a deep dive into its origins and its purpose, I realized that if there's one dangerous book, there are probably many. And so going forward, we're going to be looking into some of these books. But to review the next book, we first have to go back and re-look at a figure in the Bible. A figure we've been taught was good, but might actually be bad. But before we go any further, you know what to do. Please hit that subscribe button and give us a like. As always, a very, very special thank you to all of our patrons and our producers here on Esoteric Atlanta. Without you, we truly would not be able to do what we do, especially with all the shadow banning that we have been dealing with. So we appreciate you more than you know. Welcome to Esoteric Atlanta. My name is Bryce. And today on Mystery Monday, we're going to be talking about King Solomon. Was he a wise king? Or was he a demonic tyrant? Now, before we get into this debate over King Solomon, I want to remind everybody to please, please, please be respectful in the comment section below. I know that by bringing up some counter material to maybe show us that we've been duped by some of these biblical characters and whether they were good or not might trigger some people, especially those people who are still heavily indoctrinated by the church. I just want to remind you guys that the church is part of this club, this group. And we do know if you've been on this channel for a while, you do know that we have done a deep dive into King James. All of our Bibles today are offshoots of the King James Bible and King James himself was a satanist. This was no secret. I will link that video down in the description box below if you missed that deep dive. So I ask for everybody watching right now, especially if you are heavily indoctrinated just to listen to the evidence that I have to present before you project any anger or hatred towards anybody else in the comment section. In all honesty, it's not up to me whether King Solomon was real or not or whether he was good or bad or not. That is between King Solomon and God. What my responsibility is in my own life is to understand and have discernment on information that's given to me, even if that information is coming from a Bible, which is supposed to be a trusted source. I also want to remind you guys that just because I am challenging the Bible and I'm challenging the church does not mean that I am challenging God. I very much have a very, very, very strong relationship with God. I have a very strong relationship with Yeshua and a very strong relationship with Mary Magdalene. My relationship with God has nothing to do with a religious organization. I left the church a very long time ago. Before this great awakening even started and in all honesty, I have found more of God's presence through my yoga studies and on my yoga mat than anywhere else in this world. Part of this great awakening is discovering the truth of who God really is and who we are in relationship to God. We know that the devil is evil. The devil lies a lot. I will ask you guys just to please keep this into consideration when you're hearing this evidence. Again, you don't have to have an opinion. You don't have to agree with me, but you do have to be respectful to other people on this channel. This also starts to make more sense to me because I know in my research, as I've said many times, Yeshua or the person we know as Jesus historically was not Jewish. He was from Egypt and he was raised in the priestess and priesthood of Isis and Osiris the same as Mary Magdalene. A lot of his life has been manipulated by the Old Testament, which is part of the Jewish faith. It doesn't mean that Jewish people are guilty or anything like that. It's just been completely inverted and completely changed. This propaganda machine has been going on for a very, very long time. I just want to put that out there as well. The real Messiah, the real Christ was not even Jewish. It makes me feel like when they talk about the Messiah, are they talking about Yeshua or are they talking about the Antichrist? I don't know, but that's a topic for another day. Let's go ahead and get into King Solomon. King Solomon allegedly ruled from 970 to 931 BC. He was the last King of Israel and he was the son of the very famous King David. Interestingly enough, the name Solomon actually means peace. And maybe peace is what we think Solomon offered his people. Most of us were taught that when King Solomon was King of Israel, he brought peace. He brought prosperity. He was wise. But when I went back and researched his life and his story, I don't really think that's the truth of King Solomon's reign.  And wisdom? We all know the story of the two mothers who were fighting over a child. Each woman saying that baby was theirs. So King Solomon decided to square off the dispute by cutting the baby in half. The woman who screamed out and said, no, no, no, don't touch the baby. Just give it to the other woman. King Solomon rewarded as being the true mother because she didn't want her baby to be hurt. And growing up in Vacation Bible School and Sunday School, that story seemed okay. Yeah, that's reasonable. But looking back at it now, it's kind of psychopathic to want to cut a child in half. It's, it's what? Now King Solomon is not just known by Christians. King Solomon is obviously also a biblical character that is celebrated by the Jewish people and also by the Freemasons. I shit you not by the Freemasons, which we're going to get into because it has to do with Solomon's temple. Now, as I said, Solomon is celebrated because he was allegedly given wisdom and wealth by God. However, I believe that he was given wisdom and wealth by Satan. Solomon actually allegedly, if he's a real person or was a real person, took the throne around the age of 20. At this point, his father, King David was still alive, but he was very, very sick. And so Solomon was kind of placed there while his father was still alive. But there was some weird kind of shenanigans going on because Solomon technically was not David's oldest son. Now, at this point, these men had many wives, which we're going to get into. Trust me on that. We're going to get into that. And there was some upheaval from some of Solomon's older half brothers, which apparently was very quickly squashed by his mother Bathsheba and one of his advisors. Now, it is said that Solomon was the one that David wanted to appoint as the new king because Solomon, out of all of his brothers, was the one who continually carried out sacrifices.  When you read this, knowing what you know, you read this totally different. Even though I am absolutely 100% against animal sacrifices, I think we were always under the impression that that's what they were doing. But if you read the missing books of the Bible, you see, no, no, no, no, no, they weren't just doing animal sacrifices. They were also doing human ones as well. So let's just look at this again. We've got King David, who's got all these women. Again, we're going to get to that. And he's got all these kids.  But this is about Solomon, not David. So if you don't know that story, it's in your Bible. It's there's probably YouTube's on it. Just go listen to it. Very interesting. And now we have this idea that of all of David's sons, Solomon is the only one who is performing sacrifices to the Elohim, which was spoken about in the Necronomicon, the ETs, the old ones that have dominion over the earth, the Elohim. So it makes me question everything about this particular bloodline, like, for example, is it an actual bloodline? That's still one of these families today. So the story goes that once Solomon got on the throne, his wisdom and wealth came from either God or Satan at this point. It's probably Satan, in my opinion, because he prayed to God to help him with his duty of now ruling Israel. And because of all the sacrifices that Solomon had done, God came down and said that he would give Solomon whatever he wanted. Solomon allegedly asked for wisdom. And therefore, because he asked for wisdom, God gave him wealth and power and all sorts of stuff, which we know his wealth came from taxation. Now this sounds awfully familiar to the Luciferian practices, as Shanti from Aquarius Rising Africa calls them the Lucis, what the Lucis do, right?  And we know that a lot of these people who are given power and riches get those riches through taxation, raising the taxes, taxing the crap out of the people, which is what Solomon did. So in my opinion, Solomon sounding more like a Mr. B and less like a Mr. T. Now let's talk about the wives. So Solomon apparently had a thousand ladies. Some were his wives, while others were his concubines. If that doesn't shout, then I don't know what does. We know that Yahshua was very, very much against having multiple wives in the missing books of the Bible. This is not a good thing to have multiple wives at all. It is not integral. It is not a representation of the divine feminine and the divine masculine. According to the Gnostic and missing books of the Bible, it should be one divine feminine and one divine masculine to create that balance. This is why I'm skeptical of a lot of the Old Testament characters, which will be a video for a different day. Now of course Solomon again is also famous for the temple. He built the first temple they've been to so far. And apparently from my research, the Freemasons are looking towards building the third temple of Solomon. According to my research, the Freemasons know that Solomon was a master wizard, a master sorcerer in the dark magics.  Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Now in this temple, which was, is, was modeled very much like a Freemason temple, very similar. We had the Ark of the Covenant where they would do sacrifices to the Elohim in front of the Ark of the Covenant. Now a lot of Christians and Jewish people alike very much celebrate the Ark of the Covenant. And it's the great big mystery, right?  But here's something that's interesting. The Ten Commandments, which apparently are in the Ark of the Covenant, they come from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. They don't come from some mountain with some Moses writing them down. They're directly from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which was interesting to me because we know that there was a priesthood and a priesthood of Isis and Osiris, which we're getting into in the Magdalen manuscript. And we know that Yashua, Jesus and the Magdalen were born into this, this religion, the Isis and Osiris religion, they were never Jewish, never. They were of this priesthood. They never, never tried to leave the priesthood. This was their religion was this Isis and Osiris faith. And so obviously they would have grown up around the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Is it possible, is it possible that this whole time all these Egyptians religions that we've been told are bad were actually the good religions?  And that all the stuff they stole from the Egyptian faiths and inverted it into this other faith, which is actually satanic? I don't know. It's just interesting to me, especially seeing that they did sacrifices in front of basically plagiarized work. And of course the fact that Solomon's temples look identical to the Freemason temples and the fact that the Freemasons are going to be the ones to allegedly fill the third temple. We also have the very famous seal of Solomon. Now the seal of Solomon is probably more notoriously known at this point as the Star of David. This seal of Solomon apparently was given to Solomon as a ring. And this ring was given to Solomon in order for him to have mastery over the demons. Now within the seal of Solomon is a hexagram. The hexagram was stolen from an a Hindu and Buddhist sign called the satkona. Now the satkona was actually a balance between the divine feminine and the divine masculine and also all the elements of the earth. This satkona was believed to connect people to the spirit round in a very, very positive way. So when we turn it into the hexagram, we're now inverting this to a negative way. Interestingly enough, hexagram is Latin for six. And if you joined us for the Necronomicon video, which I will link in the description box below, we know that Latin is technically the demonic language, whereas Sanskrit is the light language. Well, hexa means six in Latin. Shat means six in Sanskrit, satkona, satkona, satkona, six. That's the positive language for this hexagram, not the Latin demented demonic inverted language. Now according to what we know about the seal of Solomon is that this ring controls the seven princes who then control all of the dominion of demons. Apparently within the lines of the hexagram, demons get trapped. It holds them in there. And so then Solomon can do with these demons as he wished. And it is said that Solomon actually had the demons build the temple. Now, obviously the hexagram connects to the planet Saturn, which we've spoken about the Saturn alien brotherhood at nauseam on this channel. And I think most of you are aware that the Saturn alien brotherhood has inverted even Saturn. Saturn is nothing but the master of the matrix or father time. It also happens to be the sixth planet. And interestingly enough, there is a hexagram at the top of Saturn.  Again, we've spoken about this at nauseam in other videos about the worship of the black cube of Saturn. This is why we wear black cube tats when we graduate from university. We're literally being indoctrinated and graduating into the cult of Saturn, which makes a whole lot more sense now that we know that our whole university system is nothing but a joke and nothing we learn in university is true. So that makes sense. And we know that judges and priests and people from other religions tend to wear black robes. This again has to go back to the fraternity of Saturn or Satan, the cult of Satan. We also know that this hexagram at the top of Saturn is allegedly a portal. And many people believe that the seal of Solomon is also a portal. Now, yes, as I've said many times, portals are just doorways. They can be used by the good or the bad. So it doesn't mean that the portal itself is bad. It just depends on whose mastery over it. Now, why would a good wise king want to control demons? How would a good wise king be able to keep that control of demons? Of course, more sacrifices. And as we get further into the story of Solomon, we're going to be looking later on in part two at some works that go deeper and to Solomon's sorcery. With that being said, I do understand that when you erase in a particular religion and you're learning that maybe your religion isn't that great, it can be hard. It can be devastating. And so I understand that. But I do encourage each and every person to do his or her own research and to really try to look outside of the conformity of the church. Because again, the church is a 501c3. It is part of this matrix. It is part of the system. As someone I know said once, people would be shocked to know what kind of ceremonies happen in their churches at night. In my opinion, God doesn't live in the church. Satan does. In my opinion, Christianity, nothing but Satanism, wrapped up in a nice bow. And so we have to understand that the true teachings of Yahshua, the true teachings of Magdalene, the true teachings of the Christ, were something far more powerful, something far more positive, something less so far less scary than the ones, the condemnation that's been handed to us by the church. When we start to understand that, we gain more of our power, more of our sovereignty, more of our own free will and consent over our own lives. So it all becomes a positive thing in this great awakening. All right, you guys, let me know your thoughts and your opinions down in the comment section below. Again, please be nice to each other. Please, please, please be nice to each other. You can debate, but just be respectful, no name calling, no gaslighting. Just be very, very respectful to each other. If anybody does get abusive or starts gaslighting, I will block you because we ain't got time for that. So anyway, you guys are having a wonderful, wonderful day. So tomorrow part four of the Magdalene manuscript will be released around 10am on this channel. And I hope you guys all have a very wonderful start of your week. Bye.


Another 20,000 seedlings distributed to the community affected by Boko Haram in Ademoa State to help reduce greenhouse gas and soil erosion. A Michikawa local government area of Ademoa State is one of the worst heat communities destroyed by Boko Haram in Ademoa State a few years ago. The convener of the seedlings distribution, Iliya Kwache, says the tree planting is very paramount as it will bring life to the community, improve quality of life and combat climate change and reduce global warming. And some of the stakeholders applauded the giants of the convener, however, promised him to plant trees within the community and stand against whoever cutting down the trees. Definitely, definitely, the fact that we can hold an activity here in Michikawa today would depress coming from Abuja to cover it, tells us that peace is back in Michikawa. People are eager for peace. Many ways we can do it, tree planting, we've covered it, cultural festival that we'll be doing annually, we've covered it. So it is an indication that people are yearning for peace and people are yearning for development. What we look forward to is for government to provide the conducive environment and support the activities we are doing so that the press, if you come to Michikawa, you sleep with your two eyes closed. People like us that are eager to develop the community will come and sleep with our eyes closed. So it is a clear indication that yes, peace is coming and people are yearning for peace. To you, our subjects, we are telling you, whoever has been stated by the governor, we are going to our various farmlands and cut down trees. If you are caught, well, you know how you are going to dance that music.


Welcome back to the end of the week and what a week in markets It has been because quite a lot has changed over the course of the last five days And we're gonna divide this episode into two parts I'm gonna talk first half about some macro updates. And what I mean by that is US GDP Absolutely crushed forecasts just the other day inflation remained relatively controlled People talking about Goldilocks again if you haven't listened to any previous episodes I'm sure peers will break down why he's a big fan of the Goldilocks tail here and why it boosts markets generally And then we had the ECB kept rates on hold pretty much as expected Rhetorated forward guidance, but did not push back against market expectations for earlier rate cuts And then after we were kind of writing off Beijing saying yeah They're just letting the markets tank and how badly Chinese equity markets have been performing they've come out with the bazooka and gone Here's three hundred billion dollars worth of stimulus cutting interest rates trimming the reserve requirement ratio and so in kind the Hong Kong stock market which we were very Much pessimistic about and its recent performance Has clocked its best day more than two months on Wednesday after that action from the Chinese government and then the second half We're gonna just break down two stock stories one good Netflix and one not so good Tesla who I think had a look this morning They were down what 12% they closed down yesterday.  It's not that I short it. It's that I talk it down and then buy into it Oh, you see right so I'm one of those. I'm a typical kind of you know banking philosophy I'll just talk talk it down and then take the other side All right. Well, let's let's kick it off then with the Headline us Advanced Q4 GDP and just so everyone's on the same page. So with GDP readings, there's three readings The advanced reading is the first reading of the prior quarter So it's always the most important one because at this point all we have are kind of factored like model generated estimates Whereas going forward in the preliminary in the final readings They're just purely statistical revisions to that first reading which is the one we've had this week So it's really important Obviously, it's a key component for are we going to have a soft landing? What's that going to mean for the interest rate expectations? It came in at 3.3% versus expectations of 2% which is a Really big beat if you're not used to looking at these numbers So what what did you make of that when you saw that? well, I mean, I mean, we know that the US economy is being in this mode of You know at performance right resilience That's been the story of the last 12 months. And so it's surprised in the least surprising direction Better than expected is the mode of operation these days So if I had been worse than expected that would have been a bigger surprise if you see what I'm saying but yeah, the size of the beats huge and You know a lot of that coming from, you know decent sort of personal spending was up 2.8% And that's you know, if you think about consumer spending, that's essentially two-thirds of the economy So when you're thinking about that GDP figure then yeah, two-thirds of it because we we we of course measure GDP in dollars So actually it did mean that because and it was the last quarter of the year So we've got full year figures for 2023 as well within this reading and so in 2023 the US economy clocked 26.95 trillion dollars and Yes stellar performance and I think that Yeah, you you've got to continue to be fairly shocked Actually, but just how strong this thing is when you're thinking and living in Europe or Certainly when you're looking at China You know, it's very very much Pointing in the exact opposite direction from a China point of view You know in the UK here were for the whole second part of 2023 at best The economy was zero and here you got the US 4.9% growth in quarter three 3.1 3% in quarter four And by the way, I should just point out something to have a little trick That the US do when you're reporting your GDP figures the US report their figures in what's called an annualized way So when they say that the economy grew 3.3 percent in quarter four it did not It if you took the growth rate in those three months and multiplied it by four They kind of give you an equivalent full-year growth if the economy grew at that rate for a full 12 months, right? When like the UK report their GDP, we don't annualize it So we report it as in just the growth in those three months So that's one slight caveat, but what why would you not? Follow that protocol of optics if the US is the biggest economy It drives the most investment. It has the most importance. I Get like let's be principled and report the true numbers But but I mean put that to bed like wake up and smell the coffee. I'm afraid like you got to annualize that surely It's very department needs to push a little harder there. It's very British, isn't it? Yeah You gotta kind of play it down play it down, you know, let's not we don't want to be seen to be being arrogant here But yeah, anyway back to the point 3.3 percent mega like mega mega And you know, you've really got to start well So some camp some parts of the camp are going well hang on a minute You know, we're thinking rate cuts throughout the whole of 2024 But the the pace of growth here is like wow We may not get rate cuts at all for the first half of the year So there is there are there are potential consequences to Rate cut expectations because this figure is so strong, but you know for now It's been a great week like I was looking at stocks. Okay, and I'm not just US stocks But S&P hit new all-time highs This week and actually broke the previous high that was January 2022 But it's not just the US right and obviously a lot of that US growth is driven by the mag 7 Or really we should call them the mag 6 now because there's been a casualty that we'll talk about later in the pod But but it's not just US stocks because if you check out like things like Nikkei 225 So that's the Japanese stock index new all-time highs this week Let's venture into Europe the DAX new all-time highs the cac That's the French index DAX being the German index cack French French index. That's testing you new all-time highs So and that maybe just makes the point that If the US is strong Then the world is in a good place It is the dominant economy it is Has the most influence on everyone else's economy because they're the biggest and their consumption is so massive And so yeah, if anything goes wrong in the US the whole world's in trouble But when it's on fire, then it's it's propping up everyone else at the moment Imagine if the US economy wasn't performing well, well, I mean, you know, the UK economy would 100% be in Procession right now. So, you know, the US is kind of doing everyone a favor But the question is just how long can it last how long can the decoupling here? continue and But yeah for now Phenomenal yeah, I'm on all numbers and the other thing that came out with GDP is core prices So PCE personal consumption expenditures, which the Fed look at for inflation So the two big components everyone looks at being then the growth rate But also what is inflation key weighted factors for their policy decision? Making kind of process and that figure it rose to 2% for the period while the headline rate was 1.7% Which both were relatively I guess you could call it controlled or steady which meaning that the economy is growing but inflation is not going up and so Reinforcing this idea of soft landing which is inflation is relatively tamed without triggering a recession with growth. I Goldilocks scenario positive off we go Absolutely, I mean it is the it's literally the best of both worlds Strong resilient growth Dropping inflation so the point there and actually Yellen who kind of backed up these figures Janet Yellen Treasury Secretary kind of came out trumpeting how amazing they are and then they are But one thing she did try and put to bed was this idea that you know, oh my god inflation is going to go back up. She wanted to kind of suppress that What is an incorrect sort of judgment and that from exactly what you said and and ultimately best of both worlds Yeah, we can and she made the point or maybe it was someone else who made the point that we can still see the Fed cut rates Even if the economy does stay strong and that's because of this nominal Interest rate thing where ultimately the real or sorry the real interest rate is Actually looking at the actual central bank rate minus inflation and so if you you know if inflation's dropping And you keep the central bank rate unchanged The real interest rates going up So we're kind of getting pseudo rate hikes here And so there is justification for the central bank to cut rates to bring that real interest rate back down Where really they're just saying we want to try and their policy shift could be we're moving to maintaining a Steady real interest rate Which would require rate cuts so they can cut Even if the economy carries on being you know seemingly on fire, but the rate cuts would be Certainly more modest. They'd be more cautious about it. That would definitely be fewer cuts if the economy stays strong Yes, I totally agree with your assessment about the US Putting the world on its back at the moment, but there's obviously some other Things that have played in a more positive fashion to support the these moves that you mentioned across So say the European indices we have the ECB this week So they kept their interest rates steady when we say interest rates is actually three of them But it's the deposit rate that typically people refer to and that's at 4% They reiterated it would keep them high for a quote sufficiently long duration to bring inflation to target So that's pretty much a reiteration of their standard guidance I think that is what the guard said when she was you know sipping champagne in Davos last week But the point being here is that markets generally have been a little bit more aggressively priced in a dovish fashion Against what central banks have been communicating? certainly for the US for some time and and for the UK even Although that has changed slightly given some recent data points But same case in Europe. So generally what You would have looked out for right in the past was okay this is all as expected and then You wait for her to speak in a press conference and the market is much more dovishly priced than what she's saying Which is look, we're not going to cut anytime soon We're still very cautious about inflation and then the market's pricing in multiple cuts and she doesn't say anything So what does that trigger in your heads from a trader's perspective if she doesn't push back against the misalignment of How and what you as market participants are thinking against what they're saying? What is that signal? Well, I Think that with the ECB it's a little more tricky. Lagarde's got to play I think her communication is More yeah, yeah more fraught with with with risks and danger I think that they're historically very cautious so In her head, I think she agrees with markets but what comes out of her mouth is Different they don't want to lose credibility is one so they don't want to get it wrong They all know they don't want to promise the world, right? We're gonna cut X number of times in 2024, but when the time comes to it Things have changed and actually God actually we can't cut sorry guys So they don't want to kind of do that because so that's number one number two You got lots of different players around that ECB table. Don't forget. There's 19 different countries And and so economic conditions can vary pretty dramatically. So you may well have some of the the ECB, you know council Basically saying look, we don't want cuts at this point. You're obviously going to get the opposite side of the table So you I think the conversation is more more tricky there but but mainly they don't want to They don't want to over promise and under deliver And so they end up what comes out of her mouth is in super cautious. So I don't believe it Markets don't believe it they they are more confident in their own assessment Understand the kind of games that the guards got to play that would be my opinion So the bottom line being then if she doesn't push back against our market surprise, she agrees So therefore, yeah, there's gonna be sooner rate cuts than what they're implying through their official forecast and therefore Stocks go up right Simple Yeah, the other that's new highs, right? Yeah, the other strategy they could use I guess is to Toe the line as you said keep credibility and then just use source comments via Bloomberg To then align themselves with actually this is what we're actually thinking even though it's like that But you know, this is what I guess as a student or someone new to markets probably watching this You've probably thinking what like what why don't they just say what they need to say? Yeah, it's a bit of a ridiculous theater this whole monetary policy game But that's That's what it is at the moment. So you've kind of got to play along Yeah, all right. Well, then we'll move on to the final one in the kind of macro space, which is China So we talked a lot in the last episode in fact, it's just a week ago Yeah, how bad it's been for domestic stocks both mainland and in Hong Kong the lack of real I guess intervention coming by way of the Chinese government, which they typically would do It looks like enough is enough and this week they've come in pretty heavy-handed And gone for the the fall across the board Well, how they talked about it was a broad plan Where they're going to guide money into sex sectors of national importance to boost the faltering economy so Is this surprising or it's just just a matter of time. Do you think well? It's surprising on the one hand because as we were saying last week the Chinese premier talking in Davos Last week said nothing And we were that's where the kind of a bit more panic I would say set in and then Chinese stocks. I mean they got hammered off the back of that and trading like down To we're talking about all these stock indexes at new breaking new highs, right? US Japan Germany China's market. It's like it. It's like down at low is not seen since 2020 It's plumbing are like four or five year low and it's so that there is a huge obviously contrast there. So I Think that we were so disappointed by the Davos speech that then all right They turned around and got the bat out and really, you know delivered a pretty Meaningful set of stimulative measures so that it kind of came as a surprise Because we got disappointed off that Davos speech. So yeah, there has been a knee jerk snapback in in markets But look, there's still really I would say what's happened is so I'm looking at the Shanghai Stock Exchange And off the back of that disappointment in Davos. It dropped to 2748 okay Bearing in mind that middle last year is up above 3400. So 2700 let's just round it 2750 was the low last week. It's now up to 2900 so huge snapback, but it's still down on the year So and and you wouldn't say from a kind of technical point of view that rebound does not It's not broken any kind of downward trend lines here So whilst that was an important and necessary step They need stimulus for sure And actually here's a measure. Well, I mean, why do I say that? There's There's a there's a strong evidence now that not only we were obviously so worried about inflation in the west Over the last few years, right and all these rate hikes and great inflation is coming back under control now in China You never really had that inflation spike and actually what's happening now? They have a straight-up deflation risk and Looking at I mean one of the stats off the back of these US GDP GDP figures So the US economy in 2023 let's round it to 27 trillion dollars. Okay now China's economy grew at a You know much slower rate than was expected Okay, and their economy was at 17.7 trillion now the gap between the two and The gap has been shrinking and shrinking and shrinking and everyone's been going like for for decade couple of decades now The prediction has been China will become the biggest economy in the world It's inevitable. It's only a matter of time and people starting to try and pick dates and the future And is it gonna be 2030 and all this right? And and ultimately what's happened in 2023 The gap between the two has got bigger again So the US economy has powered forwards at the expense of China and the gap is now at the largest since 2010 So you really have got this Divergence and decoupling here as the US powers on and China's in a real real problem place So yeah, this stimulus that's come you could say it's over, you know They should have gone earlier many would say Which is why I think that the market reaction has been a positive one, but it's not that positive So I think the jury is still out that it's a bit late And actually there's way more to do here and this package they've delivered this week I mean fine, but give us some kind of guidance about and this is the problem with China's policy There's no guidance. They just do something and then they don't really tell us right What's our roadmap for 2024? What's our policy gonna be for the next 12 months? And then that's So it's hard if there's no roadmap no guidance then you can only go So so this is how I'm talking from like when I was on the desk and you were trading So you would always say to me like, I don't know What's the probability they're gonna cut today because you get signals like economic deterioration would kind of Signal that something's gonna happen. They're gonna cut rates. They're gonna cut the reserve of current ratio Stimulus package, whatever it might be. So without forward guidance, you can know it you can only look back data, which is well, what is the routine pattern here and Actually looking back through all of the episodes. You could pretty much nail it down to like a time of day Where generally they want biggest bang for their buck So they don't make an announcement overnight in the Asia session normally they would do it just as a crossover of Mid-morning UK as US are coming in totally outside of their hours so that they let the world know So if you're looking at backward-looking then They do always through necessity take action So it feels a little bit like if oil goes down far enough OPEC will take action If the Swiss flaw that they had in their currency, you'll be it they pulled it many years ago, but they would protect it Isn't this just well, yeah, almost like too big to fail. They've so committed to this policy now That they have to like it seems like there's limited Risk to that kind of catastrophic deterioration of China a short term. I agree but it would be nice to For them to just let us know that is going to happen, but I know what you're saying I mean look, they're not gonna obviously the economic growth situation in China is Absolutely key and pivotable pivots pivotal to Xi Jinping's Whole strategy, you know, he cannot let the economy You know go into a full-blown Recession So, yeah, they'll come in but the point is you get these figures out of the US and it just It continues to defy belief at how differently the two giant economies in the world are performing Right now and actually maybe a final point here a good measure of this is the Big Mac index Yeah, which is the he I was just reading in the economists this morning. So this is the economists Sort of it's one of their kind of measures of kind of economic Performance and basically they just take the price of a Big Mac in every country and then using the exchange rate Right, what's the difference? And I'm really it's trying to measure sort of purchasing power Parity in a way, but right now if you wanted a Big Mac in China, it's going to cost you 23 yuan Okay, you want one in the US. Can you believe it's five point six nine dollars now for a Big Mac? On average in the US. Okay. Now if you said, right, those are the same. That's the same value 23 yuan is the same value as five point six nine dollars then because That amount of money buys you the same thing. It's a big man So using those Big Mac prices the exchange rate should be 4.04 The exchange rate is actually seven point two if you look at money markets Meaning the yuan is now 44% undervalued compared to the dollar on that basis and that's that that's that's wildly out of line and Again, another measure that will hang on a the Chinese economy is really weak be the Chinese currency is majorly overvalued. This is perfect Q Donald Trump Enter stage left to start doing some China bashing throughout the election campaign telling them that you know They're manipulating currency markets to their own advantage So listen out for some signed by sound bites from good old Donald on that front in the months ahead Yeah, I almost think as you're explaining all of this China part that I Actually think that China might want Trump in Empower irrespective of the economic consequence short-term if I think about it from a strategy perspective from the government's handling for their own internal optics of the kind of the The perception you're trying to build of your country's narrative in the global order Yeah, I've had a really bad COVID handling situation. The economy is pretty weak What you need is this You need to frame the most villainous character Who is going to put trade tariffs on you make life difficult on you? So then you can pivot to that as an excuse and at the same time that can Celerate your relationships with the likes of India Russia the rest by further Fragmentation of that kind of divide between traditional West and this new forming block of powers. So Yeah, I actually think that China wants Trump Yeah, and Therefore if they want Trump There's ways and means to ensure that Kind of thing right through one nation all the other things So, yeah, I actually think that yeah, there's a little sideline here. Yeah, despite all of the the kind of more definitive First order kind of reasons of why Trump might be Biden. I think there's also a bigger Thing at play here, which with all the conversations had of AI This election is is optimal to again try to destabilize the West and use it to your advantage in the East Yeah, but that on the account on that final point Trump is not gonna I mean from a regulation point of view he's anti regulation, right? So from the AI race Perspective Trump getting into the White House is good news on the one hand for the US They're not going to get blocked by regulation in this in this game So that might play in badly to China's hope that regulatory factors will delay the West giving them an edge But yeah, there's so many moving parts. It's it's fascinating All right Well, let's go on to the stocks side of the conversation So, what do you want to go? Do you want to talk positive or negative? I? Think let's end on a positive Okay, that's always bad news first right then then you get the clear the slate So as I said at the top of the episode Tesla finished Thursday's session down 12% That was after they released their earnings report midweek So they narrowly missed earnings estimates. They warned that its rate of expansion will be notably quote lower this year Also executives cautioned that they're approaching the limits of their efforts to cut costs in Their current vehicle lineup So is there anything else that you saw within the Tesla report that you think? You know, I'm always a bit remiss 12% sounds like a lot for a company of that Size however, yeah, they are a unique case and they do swing around a lot And I saw a lot of people talking them down saying they're the worst performing of the mag 7 or whatever it might be They were the third best performer up a hundred and six percent last year. I might remind those bearish minded people but So, yeah, I'm too long in the tooth to get carried away by a 12% Tesla these days. But yeah, that's their stock is down 30% in the last one month So look that let's not avoid the point that they're shocking right really really bad and Warranted because look if you're a Tesla stock where you're, you know, you're the multiples you're trading on are monstrously large then anything that's not Like smashing it out of the park means you're overvalued So they definitely are not they didn't smash it out of the park, right? All the numbers are kind of pointing towards deceleration in growth And you can't you can't have a deceleration in growth story and maintain Super high Valuation so I think that and one thing that was interesting That again is kind of spooked markets a bit Musk loves nothing more than a Super aggressively bullish Forecast about how many units they're going to deliver in the year ahead Okay, and he like I remember at the start of 2023 said we're going to do 2 million this year You wait you wait and see we're going to put out 2 million vehicles in the end. It was 1.8 million All right, you might say well 90% decent, but look they missed by 200,000 units right that's a big miss now The really interesting thing was Musk and Tesla did not give a forecast for their unit output in 2024 For the first time every year they're like we're going to do this and the market's going wow That's amazing that growth. Wow bye bye. Bye. So I think that tells an interesting story But I do think to two more things on that point It's like the perfect storm at the moment for Tesla I think for for a number of reasons So firstly if you think about price, right, we'll talk about margins So one of the key Sort of measures for the automotive industry broadly is what's called gross margin. It's such a capital-intensive business Building, you know any manufacturing firm is and so we look at gross margin as the kind of key metric to tell us about Right the profitability and the health of this thing. So that gross margin I'm going to take out their regulatory credits We won't go down that rabbit hole at the moment, but they have the because they're an EV Green company they get regularly and gonna ditch that for a second their real gross margin is 17.2 percent Okay, which is kind of our industry You know that that's about it's decent, but It's not standout in the industry. They used to have a Standout gross margin, but Musk took the decision Probably 18 months ago now to say right we need to cut costs. That's right. We need to cut prices here because a we've got a cost of living crisis and the reaction to The EV revolution has been that everyone's like wow these things are very expensive And so it has hampered demand The fact that EV vehicles are a decent premium over and above petrol and diesel vehicles Right in the middle of a cost of living crisis Which has been driven by inflation and a massive uptick in interest rates. Okay, so the macro Climate has been incredibly challenging. They've cut prices which has damaged margins, right? I'd also say that their their product lineup is very limited Yeah, but they don't have like a low cost super low cost affordable option They can just play around with the price on yeah so much as well. Well, apparently that is coming Well, they've been yeah that will come just like everything comes two years delayed Which is the problems right now though. Well, actually so they're Low cost vehicle apparently they're gonna start production on that second half of 2025 They said five years ago. They were gonna start production on that So is it gonna come second half of 2025? They've been messing about with this Cybertruck thing is that gonna be a massive distraction and a tangent that that really Dogs them going forwards possibly but look back to this perfect storm. Okay, you got macro conditions. They're definitely not good, right? Let's drop price undermining margins. That's the one but on the demand side as well. You've got I read an amazing stat so hurts Biggest car rental company on the planet They've sold 33% of their EV fleet And they've bought petrol vehicles to replace them Which is the most remarkable stat in what is generally an overall story that the Momentum of the shift to EV Has actually quite dramatically Dampened I think this whole the whole the whole kind of green revolution Has lost momentum in amongst this cost of living crisis And that that was like the standout. Wow hurts They've literally gone and sold a third of their electric vehicles to replace them with petrol So you have got this slight demand shift as well and then obviously on top of that Competition and so we've been talking about BYD in China becoming the the biggest EV seller in the world now overtaking Tesla and so you know, you've got this it's coming from all angles in terms of Headwinds for Tesla and so it all translates into then What is looking like a deceleration in growth and whilst they didn't give us a figure for the number of cars? They're going to produce this year Wall Street are predicting 2.2 million vehicles, which would be a 20% increase The problem with that Musk three years ago said we're going to be on a 50% growth rate year-on-year for the next 10 years And we're three years in and it's already possibly dropping to 20 So that's your problem with the valuation and your share price and why it's off 30% So if I was Elon Musk, I would say We can do 50% for the next seven years And then the shareholders will go how and I'll say give me more stock of Tesla I will start to then pull some levers pull a rabbit out the hat like I always do I always deliver I'm the world's richest man like let's just give me my 25% Because I've sold down my stake to finance my terrible acquisition of Twitter. So I mean you got it You've got to applaud Elon here Well, so that story used the situation to his benefit There's another element to it, but you could say yeah Maybe he doesn't have enough skin in the game to care anymore. He owns 13% of Tesla now I'm having sold a massive chunk to buy Twitter But I wonder if people would be surprised by how little he actually owns because I think most people assume That Tesla is Elon Musk Well, yeah, they are one in the same, right? But but maybe not quite so much at an operating level anymore But so that angle because he said this on the call he basically and this was more about the direction of AI and robotics Right within Tesla because Tesla I mean they're quite a phenomenal company, right? And they're sat on what potentially could be the biggest and best Dataset on the planet. So when you're thinking about AI, well, you need data and you need Large language models and you need you know to train these AI's and they've got it, right? And they're also the you could argue the global leader in robotics with this optimus Kind of humanoid robot that they've built but basically Musk is going well, look guys I Can see this company Tesla if we go down the AI robotics route I can see this being the most valuable company in the entire planet. However, I'm not sure I'm Prepared to do that with Tesla. I might spin and take the AI robotics piece and do it somewhere else You know, I would like to do it in Tesla, but I'm gonna need 25% of the company It's genius. You've got to love it. It's G me us What do you do as a shout a test the shareholder? What do you do? You're like, damn it All right fine Because you'd rather have Musk and his AI and robotics Plan in-house but that extra like what 10% 11% that's gonna cost you what from the market value Valuation perspectives he's getting 100 billion Yeah Really saying all the right stuff. He's saying, you know, I want to be an effective steward Of very powerful technology.  You got to love it If you if you don't love it you'd be consumed with hate so yeah, I've gone through the full cycle. So Yeah, I I'm gonna have to give him a pat on the back. I'm liking how he's playing The 30 drop of his company over the last quarter or last month actually All right, we said we'd end on a positive. Yeah that positive was netflix And yeah, their shares surged After they've just reported their best quarter of growth. So this is the opposite, right? Yeah, I think the sales the sales number at Tesla At 25.2 billion not only was that below street estimates It was the slowest pace of growth in more than three years For revenue for tesla and again in the contest that you were saying that's really bad Netflix best quarter of growth since viewers were stuck at home in the early days of the pandemic And their their subscriber numbers were insane. I mean against street estimates of 8.91 million They clocked in at 13.1 million new customers. This is And their stock soared Yeah, it's quite it's a great story. I think and that's that puts them at 260 million In total and it's a great story. It's almost it's a bit like meta in some ways where Netflix and meta got killed I mean, I'm talking about the stop in 2022 um in 2023 and well, so netflix was a bit before so netflix peaked during the pandemic, of course um user growth just went through the roof and it was phenomenal for them and their share price peaked at 686 bucks and that was in october 2021. Okay 686 then they plummeted and the below was june 22 Was it 167 dollars? Wow. Okay. So what were they pre-pandemic? Pre-pandemic so in let's say a back end of 2019 You look at about 267 dollars. Okay So they went yeah in 2022 they're below pre-pandemic levels and it's because Of the war the battle the streaming battle that was going on with the other competitors and basically netflix going right We've got to produce our own unique content. Let's get the checkbook out Unless just go on a spending rampage in 2021. They spent 17 billion dollars on new content. Okay And everyone was like, oh my god decelerating subscriber numbers. In fact subscriber numbers started to drop just as they were Spending way more than they'd ever done before and the margins collapsed And again, it's back to this idea of growth rates and these super stocks are on crazy valuations because we expect But nominal growth rates for the rest of man can't for sorry for the rest of time, right? So Yeah, they had a real problem.  All right fine. I'll cut costs then You know and he did and what happens while the share price goes back up So netflix they really set about tackling their key problems, which was cracking down on password sharing Um, they've also introduced a subscription level that includes advertising which grew at 70 percent But that subscription level is phenomenal and they've increased prices All three of those are very positive for their top line without increasing costs So it feeds through straight to their bottom line and their margin was up 20 percent. I think it was um overall so um Yeah, so the yeah the operating margin I'll get the figure in a minute, but anyway obviously stellar and I think the other point when you look at the competition disney plus is still operating at a loss Okay, and netflix are increasing their lead with regards to subscriber numbers and disney now are having to cut costs and they're having to sell or license some of their content to netflix Right, so there's a so here in I think it's the key to to netflix in the future I think there's a few different things that they need to do And I think that licensing thing is really interesting because their their stock does command a premium relative to rivals that being I think they trade nearly 30 times their 12 months forward earnings or disney's Like 20 something like that. So what justifies? That valuation and what I was reading is an analyst was talking about the ongoing push to profitability at other streaming firms will force them to license more titles to netflix which may help them drive further You just basically Stealing their content you you can you almost this you've almost doubled down and you're so aggressive in the new content creation They just cannot compete and therefore You just crush them in a very ultra aggressive strategy So that was one thing the other thing is managing the forward-looking future of what can how can we capture more growth and continuous growth? video games And live programming Yeah, that was the other thing video games. We've spoken about maybe six seven months ago I'm going to talk about live programming But I think that's the natural thing for me because I'm I'm a normal consumer I have sky tv and it sickenes me how much it costs Because all I want to do is watch some mba basketball And then they've just gone and got rid of it and now I have to watch premiership football and I'm sick of it Because all when you pay for sky and it's like 80 90 quid a month and and 70 percent of that Stickiness or the value of your subscription is sky sports because without sky sports. It's dramatically cheaper Yeah, and then you're paying 10 quid For netflix for example, so live programming And the thing that came out this week alongside the earnings was netflix has agreed to a five billion dollars to screen WWE's raw which is one of the flagship titles out of wrestling Yeah, and it's their first big move into live events and I think this is really interesting from a content strategy perspective because one of the things that Not only are you buying this community that's in the hundred million plus viewership particularly north america and at a time in the macro space where confidence is returning as well from a consumer base level but Horting the drama of the wwe characters into a documentary format Some of the most successful original netflix content has been taking sports Yeah, and going behind the scenes and going into individual characters And then just like you do with the star wars saga when you spin off The different characters into sub series That's exactly what I've tried to do with sports and sports personalities that you could now do With wrestling and wrestling is full of larger-than-life characters that most people know the main one is tied into this deal was Dwayne the rock johnson Who through I think the company I can't remember what they're called tko. I think he's managed to engineer some Some skin in that game where he's actually sold all of his the rock rights image rights name rights everything within like a 10-year deal Similar to the private equity firm that did within rekay say his upside could be in the north of 50 million on the back of this and in 2023 Dwayne johnson only earned half a million So part of this I think and you know, he's just him alone his instagram following. I think it's 400 million He's like one of the top ones But yeah, if you think about the formula one drive to survive There's the tennis one drive to survive is consistently ranked in netflix's top 10 It's one of the most binged worthy measured content pieces that they have So I know wrestling is not for everyone But I think it was quite a neat move to go into a fairly matured marketplace In live entertainment, which I think is you know, there's one thing like tesla talking about AI and robotics And all okay, they have this robot that let's let's be frank. It's naff at this point. It could be something interesting in the future yeah, but You've got to deliver but at the moment How do you deliver on live programming? Well live program is not really so much as you've got to create it You just need to own the right to be able to show it It's a much easier route to the outcome if you like video games a little bit different There's this whole kind of integration software There's you know, it's more complicated. I'd say so. Yeah, I thought I thought that was interesting as well with netflix this week. It's probably helped Yeah, and I think the other point They've built this moat now Because basically as I said, they spent an absolute fortune on content when When interest rates were at zero And they debt fueled it and they they were able to borrow huge sums and invest aggressively Now they've built the Original content, but now interest rates are higher. There's no way they could do the same strategy now That they did four years ago Literally no way absolutely impossible Point being then the competition. Well, they can't do it now either And so from an interest rate point of view Yeah, they really took advantage. I'm not saying they were Geniuses and knew that interest rates were going to go up and right quick. Let's borrow huge sums now I don't think that was the strategy. It's just worked out hugely in their favor. And so they've become this This this dominant player With the kind it's almost like the ladder has been kicked out underneath them Now the debt costs a lot and so it's just hard for the hard to catch So to finish They were trading at I think you said like 230 pre-covid. They dropped to what 171 80 they rose to 680 What are they today? 562 as of the close last night. They're almost double what they were pre-pandemic then at this point Yes And they're not far that they've only traded at a higher share price um during a three Four month period in their history if they traded at a higher price than this and that was the back end of 2021 when we had the Covid bubble in some of these stocks So it looks like they're marching back to test their highs their highs was at 689 So yeah, it looks like probably this year Like this going on the evidence we've just seen in their earnings report Then there's a decent chance. They'll Look at retesting that Covid high. So yeah, another great turnaround story and it really is Well, well, we'll wrap it up there Thanks very much for your time peers And yeah, any questions at all feel free to drop a comment wherever we share the episode And yeah, we'll look forward to next conversation next week. Have a great weekend everyone. Yep. Have a good weekend. See you


I think that that part of it was honestly like the most shocking to really feel like our dad was in the room with us. To be able to have our dad's audition tape play with his voice booming. We didn't even know that was a part of our pitch. Shark Tank had it and they added to it. So it was kind of wild, really hearing our dad's voice like he was in the room. I've seen that video before, but I've never like teared up but that like fully blasting in front. Like you're just like, oh my God, this is crazy. The emotions just hit. And it was Father's Day weekend. That's the one thing Mindy mentioned. She's like, it just felt like the universe stopped in some way. The Father's Day thing got to, you know, it was like all the elements were there. Maybe your dad was there, you know? It's some real crazy energy.


Ken Aizawa, he's the Vice President of Engineering at the Tech. Welcome, I was about to say, Ken, you know Caribou. I do know Caribou. Finally, welcome home, your home, literally. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. All right, so Ken, what has been your best experience so far here in Kenya, for how long have you been here? Yeah, so I've been in Kenya for about a week now. I would say the best experience was definitely going on safari in Masaimara. And but also just being in Nairobi, I think, and getting an experience of a city really embedded into nature. I come from New York, I was born in New York, I live there now and work there now. We don't really have such diverse animals, plants, trees, forestry, and all of that kind of mixed in with these high-rise buildings and bustling streets and all of this. So it's a really, really nice change. And I would love for that to be a part of New York, just more green. Oh wow, have you tried any of our delicacies? I've tried, is it called machama? Machuma? Machama, there we go, that was last night. And I think I did pretty well. I think I did pretty well. Yeah. Okay, so Ken, for someone meeting you for the first time, who is Ken, where is he from? From New York, of course, and what do you do actually? Yeah, sure. So I was born and raised and in around New York. I still live there and work there now. I studied computer science and philosophy in school. In uni. And now I work more on the computer science side, as a first as an engineer, now more as a kind of engineering leader in the organization. And I work at a company called The Take, as you introduced. And we work on AI technology for TV and movies. And my focus has been on developing that AI, now managing a team that also that develops that AI with me and deploying that AI across millions of TVs around the globe. What is your most treasured memory while growing up? My most treasured memory growing up, that's a great question. I mean, I guess I would say there were a lot of really great learning opportunities that I had. One of my most treasured one was when I studied music in New York. And yeah, I spent some time, I played the clarinet, which is like a musical instrument. And yeah, and I studied at the school called the Juilliard School in New York. And yeah, that was a really wonderful time for me just to be completely focused in music. Fantastic. So starting this conversation when it comes to artificial intelligence and just what the future looks like. What is artificial intelligence and how does AI work? Yeah, it's a really great question. It's a big question. So I'll start by saying that I think AI is sort of a misunderstood term. I think we read a lot of books or see a lot of movies. We see robots, killer robots or some program that talks and speaks like a human. But I think it's important to know that it's not zero and then one. I think there's a lot in between. And in a sense, we already have artificial intelligence today. The way we organize companies and we have certain people doing some things, other people doing other things, coordinating across organizations, across the globe, across supply chains. And we use software as a part of that. We use machinery as a part of that. We use computers as a part of that. That whole layer is a kind of intelligence. That's not one human being, right? It's many, many human beings creating this kind of new thing, a company, a government, a state. But artificial intelligence is a technology. And I think what you're probably referring to is software specifically that is able to process large amounts of data and turn that into really useful actions. And what I'll say about that, though, is that that is also already here. When you are on Amazon shopping for products and you are getting a recommendation for something, that's AI Outwork. It's saying, oh, he or she bought this one product. And so I'll recommend this other one. Also on Google. Also on Google. Or when you're on Netflix, where I spend too much time on.  And let me look at everyone else that's like this piece of content and what they liked. And the final thing that I'll say about artificial intelligence is that because it's so multifaceted, because as we already have it, the gains and improvements of artificial intelligence will not be straightforward. It won't be one to one. It might automate certain jobs in the future. Like I think truck driving is one that'll happen in the US at least within the next five to 10 years. It might even automate some of the work that doctors and lawyers do. Right? So you both on all sides of the spectrum, both high paying, low paying, middle paying jobs will be affected by artificial intelligence. Are we heading into a world where we will completely build intelligence that can be able to mimic human base? For instance, the point you've said, like most of the careers will be tempered or like if it's in let's say an industry where this production going on, machines will be involved. So that means more people will in the future might lose their jobs. So I will head into that in the future whereby artificial intelligence that we build it, that we all completely just destroy job opportunities and we just focus on the creating aspect. Yeah, I think that's a great question. And I'll start by saying that I can't predict the future, but what I genuinely believe is that artificial intelligence and the technology behind it is only able to automate very repetitive and kind of time consuming, but very simple, otherwise simple tasks. So data lookup, data entry or driving or things like this. And there are jobs that will probably not be able to be automated ever, like creative jobs, for example. Right? Because we have to remember we're doing all of this, creating all of this automation, this prosperity to serve people. And AI is feeding data? Yeah, exactly. Okay. And as a result, AI will not be able to do things that only people can do, like creating art, right? Or in the hospitality industry, working with people and being with people, right? So I think what I hope is the future and what I also believe is likely the future is that there will be what I call friction in the transition. There's always friction in massive change like that. And it might actually be somewhat of a painful kind of change if there are 3 million truck drivers in the US that might lose their jobs with this technology. But over the course of 50 years, I hope that brings humanity towards a place where people are doing jobs that are better suited, more creative, more human, and to serve human interests better. Are there regulations put in place to know how far is too far? And is it actually regulated? I can only speak for the United States. I will say that I don't believe, I think there's some legislation for regulation that's currently in the works. And I'm really glad you asked this question because it's a very big issue in the US, I think, and a growing one. The regulation has mainly revolved around use of facial recognition technology. And there is a scientist, I guess leader, CEO of this organization called the Algorithmic Justice League, Joy Bualamwini, who has been really shedding light on some racial bias in some of the very commonly used facial recognition algorithms in the States by companies like Amazon or Microsoft or Google. Essentially what she found was that people with darker skin color would have lower accuracy rates for facial recognition and would be misidentified more by those algorithms, by Amazon than people with white skin. And that becomes a problem if police departments in the United States are using that algorithm to track suspects and try to identify criminals. That's true. So it's a huge problem and I don't believe there's been any significant step forward in regulation yet, but I'm hopeful that it will come. What are some of the strikes being made as AI is concerned by the tech? In the context of our country we have AI's credited scoring, it's using companies in accounting in terms of algorithms and models to determine whether someone is qualified for a loan. So what are a couple of strikes that the tech has made, courtesy of AI? Yeah, so we have a pretty fun use case, thankfully. All we're interested in, to put it simply, is to identify the people, products and places inside movies and TV shows. And to surface that information on the TV or maybe through the set top box or online if you're watching online as you're watching so that you can learn more about your content, so you can interact with your content. So let's say you're watching your favorite reality TV show and you like the dress that some contestant or character cast member is wearing. We make it possible for you to buy that on your TV. We offer other options as well that are a bit cheaper or more expensive depending on what your kind of price range is, but we use AI to identify all of those products and enable that on hundreds, thousands of hours of content. How do you guys do that? So I mean the nitty-gritty of it is simply we have lots of data, lots of images, and we tell the AI learn from these images and we train it on massive machines over hundreds of hours and the AI slowly teaches itself, learns on its own how to understand those images, the video, the actual frames from the movie or the TV show, again across hundreds of hours of TV shows so that I can do that automatically. So can I let you to help us understand something here? So let's look at Google for instance. You can search something today or probably next week then after a couple of days later you come back and just try how to it reminds you or it gives you feedback of what you did previously or even another instance which is a common scenario if you search about anything if it's a product later on you'll find an ad on Facebook or Instagram how does that happen? So that is the use of data by these advertising companies uh essentially they're tracking based on your you know Google username or email address or your Facebook username or Instagram handle they're tracking what you've clicked when you've clicked in what order who you've talked to and they are taking that information and saying okay let me use some I don't know if they're for some of these examples if they need to use AI but I'm sure in some examples that they really they are let me make a prediction based off of this behavior online activity okay and let me show some advertisements it's it's interesting I won't go into too much but some of the work that I do which is also related to advertising is kind of in opposition to that kind of form of advertising which really uses user data a lot and uses kind of this understanding of user behavior a lot to power this advertising solution rather than that you know our company we focus on looking at the content so what is the user looking at are they watching a movie about weddings or are they watching a tv show about dating then we can use that or are they watching a sports game and then so we look at the sports game not what the user is doing online on facebook or instagram or google whatever we look at just the sports game and we say how can we provide some advertising some useful information to the user just from that without looking at their data respecting their privacy and all of that yeah because if you're like in your busy studying somewhere else about something else google is literally just studying about you yeah exactly and I think you know maybe it's not the biggest problem but one of the concerns is that users are not very fit because it's on you still you know even after 20 years users are not very familiar with how google is using their data and where their data is going and so users can't really make an informed decision about whether to opt in or to opt out so and it's actually a free it's a free site so that's how they make their money through advertisement exactly but if google is making you know a thousand dollars per user per year it might be free which is great but maybe they could be returning some of that money to the users as well oh yes we'll be so happy yeah I mean I think so I think there's there's a lot of play there but it's a really really interesting question that's currently uh working itself out in the ad tech industry all right so we have telecommunication company that gives the ability for voice recognition uh is that also a branch of AI and how does that actually work yeah so the face recognition uh is an AI and the way it works is you have some what we call neural network which looks at an image of a face and it turns that face into a string of numbers so maybe 16 numbers and the numbers are such that that are produced from that face are such that a similar looking face right will have similar numbers okay so we compare these numbers with each other because the AI has digested this face to have some understanding of that face and we compare those numbers to see are these the same face or not and we do that on a large scale over hundreds millions of faces and that allows us to have a really nuanced understanding of of a face of variations in I don't know the shape of a nose or your eyes or your mouth or your lips or whatever but importantly we don't teach the AI any of this stuff manually it learns it all by itself okay is the same thing with the voice recognition as well exactly yes okay so most people confuse their three-term knowlogies these AI then there's machine learning and data science what's the difference yeah I mean to be honestly everyone kind of confuses that yes and part of the confusion is that no one really knows what AI is right because some people because some people think AI is some robot that speaks and acts like a human other people think AI is just a facial recognition algorithm so I won't comment on the AI piece I will say generally speaking data science is simply the science of analyzing data using statistics statistical models so you look at a large batch of data let's say it's consumer shopping data and from that you would do an analysis and you say okay what are the most popular categories of products and where should we place products on the shelves in the store that's data science it's analyzing a large amount of data and applying a specific statistical method like let's say linear regression or something like that to math data machine learning is an algorithm or is a group and family of algorithms that learn from data so they are actually trying to produce specific outputs from data and AI is probably at the top of the machine learning family all right so how is the artificial intelligence transforming like the media industry yeah I mean it's it's interesting because the media industry at least in the states is very slow to move maybe and hopefully that's different here it's very slow to move I would say our our company our product is probably one of the more advanced of the companies that are they're using AI to transform the the media industry and there is another way in which AI is used which I've started to see lately which we can use AI now to create images and video realistic looking images and video and so there is recently a show on disney plus it's a star wars show and there was a character from many many decades ago that they want to be in this new episode this new season but obviously that character that actor doesn't look like that now so they use some other actors some other young looking actor and they use AI to transform this younger this other actor's face to look like this other a completely different actor's face from 20 years ago the cloning exactly and they also used to that to transform his voice from his older voice to a younger voice and that all all of that technology is AI so I think we're going to start to see more and more content that's just created using AI all right so as you wind up like to find out what do you like to do outside work do your leisure time yeah I mean I like to go for a good run along with the broken waterfront in New York okay but otherwise I'm really really interested in art so going to art galleries and and museums and visiting those kinds of things in New York as well and then yeah and travel I would say oh and that's why I'm here fantastic we you're much welcome any other day this is home now right yes say this is home happening you buddy there you go you got it yes so people how can people reach out to you do you have social media handles I think the best way is on twitter okay ken a zwa all right thank you very much Ken as you are creating time to be with us today looking at taking us through artificial intelligence and helping us understand how the future would look like thank you very much I appreciate you having me all right so guys make sure you stay tuned you have another interview coming your way so we'll be right back


The presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party, the PDP, Atiko Obuboka, has promised to revive the nation's economy and put the country on the path of sustainable growth and development if elected president in the 2023 presidential election. Atiko made this known at the party-state rally in Benin City, the Edo-state capital, as he took a swipe at the ruling of Progressive Congress. He accused them of destroying the educational system, security, infrastructure and the economy while noting that the nation is on the path of future question. Security in this country so that you can travel there at night, so that you can go to your farms, so that you can go to anywhere secure. Again, we promise to revive the economy of this country. What do we mean by that? We mean we will make sure that our industries, our factories, resume production in this country. We will make sure that there are enough jobs for our youth who are passing out from these schools. This is what we mean by reviving the economy. Others who spoke at the rally expressed confidence of a party's victory in the coming general election. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
