Robert Frederick

1 hour 40 minutes

Why bicker online when a good conversation is so much more productive? James sits down with Robert Frederick, host of The Hidden Life is Best, and wonders why Robert had to be quite so disobliging about him recently on Substack. But all is OK. Their friendship is quickly renewed and they enjoy a marvellously stimulating chat about why Shakespeare is popular when he’s so dark, disturbing, misogynistic, and so obviously pushing an elite gnostic agenda. They take a deep dive into Hamlet (a psychopathic serial killer) and A Midsummer Nights Dream (paedophilia; bestiality) and enlarge further on the author of so many of our ills, the evil genius that was Sir Francis Bacon.

How environmentalists are killing the planet, destroying the economy and stealing your children’s future.

In Watermelons, an updated edition of his ground-breaking 2011 book, James tells the shocking true story of how a handful of political activists, green campaigners, voodoo scientists and psychopathic billionaires teamed up to invent a fake crisis called ‘global warming’.

This updated edition includes two new chapters which, like a geo-engineered flood, pour cold water on some of the original’s sunny optimism and provide new insights into the diabolical nature of the climate alarmists’ sinister master plan.
