Feels like it's been forever? It has! TheQuieterOne and Drez return with an unaccountably disturbed recording touching on topics including more signs that the price of gold is being manipulated, jab injuries, Pfizer telling us all what we already knew, and the lovely Jacinda Ardern.  Sorry about the technical issues, I know that it makes it almost unlistenable. Apologies to my ramblepal also. I toyed with putting out a cut-up instead but it got quite out of hand quite quickly so we're landing raw with warts on. Blame a software update, specifically: a beta feature on the chat platform that appears to have been not fully warmed up. It could also have been user error, admittedly. We'll know more in the future.  Links are a lot of OffG: https://off-guardian.org/2022/10/13/free-speech-jacinda-ardern-and-the-tyranny-of-kindness/ https://off-guardian.org/2021/07/23/new-normal-newspeak-2-vaccine/ https://off-guardian.org/2022/10/12/pfizer-exec-admits-we-never-tested-vaccine-against-transmission/   I post stuff on Telegram now too: https://t.me/thequieterone

Quick note: we had some technical problems so you get to hear some Waltz by Schumann as put through some synthesiser action. Oh and some Davidsbundler No.2, also by Schumann. Apparently Schumann invented an imaginary league of 'Davidites', like minded musicians whose purpose was to oppose and attack artistic philistines. I feel like this requires some investigation...
