Three A stars: Ace, Andrew & Alex

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to each and every one of you for subscribing to this newsletter, and for supporting my work at youtube.com/@richdoespolitics, youtube.com/@richdoesclips and youtube.com/@richdoesmore.

In this week’s newsletter I focus on the video I recorded with Steven Kuhn and Ace as a response to Tucker Carlson’s interview with Hunter Biden. I also comment on Andrew Bridgen and Blaine Holt’s conversation, and the joyful return of Alex Krainer to the channel after a too-long hiatus. Susan Kokinda, Tom Luongo and I were all thrilled to have Alex join us.

So This Just Happened…

Ace, Steven and I arranged the video beforehand as a bonus to our weekly recording on Fridays. I think Steven captured it well when he said right at the beginning that Tucker’s interview betrays it as part of an op.

When Hunter’s laptop and his membership on the board at Burisma in Ukraine was prominent in independent media, I looked into this extensively. It seems to me that Hunter is a deeply damaged individual who endured some severe trauma as a child, some form of child abuse, perhaps. That would explain his drug and alcohol use, his sexual proclivities, his unstable relationships and much else in his life that has been chaotic and disruptive. I can’t prove my assertion here, but his adult behaviour is typical of someone who has been traumatised as a child.

It would also fit what Ashley Biden describes in her diaries in which she refers to her father coming in to shower with her when she was 11 years old, and older. Ashley too has dealt with drug and alcohol issues as an adult.

What I found encouraging in the Hunter interview was that he appeared to be sober and looked like he had gone through a period of recovery which, at least for now, seems successful.

However, as I commented at the end of that video, there was no discussion of his seat on the board of Burisma in Ukraine, his dishonourable discharge from the Army, the daughter he has no contact with, his financial difficulties, and allegations of trafficking. Hunter did deny that he in any way engaged in sexual activities with minors, so like all the abusers that I have worked with as a social worker, he too is innocent. So that’s that.

I thought that Hunter came across as plausible and reasonable, and his account of how and who had planted the laptop could have been possible, but there was still something off about him which, if I had been involved as a social worker, I would have dug into. The question that Tucker never asked of Hunter, that I would have asked, is “What happened? What happened to you as a child, that your life turned out this way?”

Ace made the point that Carlson, with Candace Owens, Thomas Massie, Joe Kent and Marjorie Taylor-Greene, were looking to build a new conservative party with the sole intent of pulling enough voters away from Trump, so that the Dems’ presidential candidate (Kamala Harris, AOC, Newsom…?) prevails over Vance or Rubio in 2028.

Tucker never asked Hunter about his BlackBerry. According to investigative journalist George Webb, that’s where the evidence is of Biden’s crimes. I have scheduled to record an interview with Webb in the coming week to discuss this.

A US General's Warning: The Next Civil War Starts In Ireland

Andrew Bridgen is a former MP and an absolute hero. He is that rare breed who worked to serve his constituents and refused to be captured or cowed by the Deep State. A science graduate and successful businessman, he entered Parliament as a Conservative MP in order to serve his constituents, which he did over four terms with his support increasing each time. The problem was that Andrew took the mRNA injection and was hurt by it. This woke him up and he became an outspoken opponent of Fauci’s snake oil mRNA injection – a right royal pain in Parliament. Just as with Galloway, who was also an outspoken critic of government, his election was rigged, and he lost his seat.

Below are the results of each and every time Andrew stood for election:

2010 General Election – 23,147 votes. 44.6% vote share.
2015 General Election – 25,505 votes. 49.5% vote share.
2019 General Election – 33,811 votes. 62.8% vote share.
2024 General Election – 1,568 votes. 3.2% vote share.

Andrew’s vote share collapsed from 62.8% in 2019 to 3.2%! Completely natural of course.

Andrew, like Blaine, is always worth paying attention to – but then I would say that, wouldn’t I? In this video we discussed the Iran war, energy and food security, Fauci lies and the mRNA injection harms. We spoke about when the next election in the UK could happen and why Ireland was where the first mass civil protests against open borders would take place.

Trump's Master Plan Is Redefining London's Global Order

with Tom Luongo, Susan Kokinda and Alex Krainer

Many years ago, I did a particular personal development course. One of the assignments was to interview people in my life to find out how they saw me. As part of the course, I was trained how to have these conversations in a way that was fruitful and convivial. These conversations were eye-opening. With those close to me, we were able to address many age-old issues that had never been resolved. I also got to acknowledge them and got acknowledged by them. All these relationships shifted for the better as these conversations gave me an opportunity to get responsible for how people in my life saw me and experienced me. What I also found revelatory were the interviews with people who did not know me well or had not known me for long. Our relationships were shallow, superficial and mostly transactional, like the junior accountant and the receptionist in the children’s home company I worked in. When I had these conversations with people who knew me only from snapshots or short interactions I was amazed by what people thought of me and how they saw me. Usually their view of me had very little to do with what I am like. They made assumptions about my family, my past and my future that had little bearing on reality.

I was reminded of these conversations during the period when Alex Krainer was away. Over the years Alex has come on at least once a month and sometimes more often. My monthly conversations with Susan Kokinda, Tom Luongo and Alex Krainer predate the Rich Does Politics channel. Then Alex stopped appearing on the channel recently. I started getting comments asking why Alex wouldn’t come on the channel. What had I done to him? Some asserted that he would no longer come on the channel because he disagreed with me, Tom and Susan about the Iran war. As further proof of this, some commenters pointed out how he appeared on other channels. (In a video once, I playfully chastised Alex for going on channels that were bigger than me. He replied in his usual witty manner, saying “No. It’s not because they are bigger, it’s just that they are more important!”) These commenters were convinced that we/I/Tom had had a falling out.

What had actually happened was that Alex had got incredibly busy. He had been on holiday, had been travelling a lot, and had been prioritising other issues in his life. He and I were in regular communication about working out when he could come back on the channel. This he finally did on Friday 14th August to join me, Susan and Tom on a monthly call, which I think he had not been on for the two previous occasions. We were all pleased to see him, and he us.

From the start, Alex made it clear he did not agree with Tom and Susan’s take on the Iran war. He considers that Trump has been manoeuvred into making a colossal blunder, one which he will pay dearly for. In the video, he gave his reasons and provided his evidence. Susan and Tom countered and what followed is what I always want: civil, courteous discussion and debate. It was wonderful: the kind of discussion that is all too rare nowadays as the globalists continue to atomise us and separate us at all levels of society. They do this to prevent us from learning from each other and to prevent us from uniting against them as our common enemy.

We all agreed that whatever our positions on the Iran war, we were all speculating, based on the limited and incomplete information that we have.

This, I believe, is always the case. I believe that my point of view is right, but belief and actual reality can and do differ, and sometimes we have no idea about how much they differ, a point I need to remind myself of, and was reminded of by the commenters asserting that Alex was not coming on because he disagreed with us.

Alex, Susan, Tom and I are working out the schedule for the next call in September, and then after that one, a call in October, and so on. I am grateful to them, and to you all.

Thank you to each and every one of you for subscribing, for supporting my work, and for building a new world with me. A great age awaits us all.

All the best
