Transcripts
for Newman you started judge on the
David obviously you went through a
detailee Walkinshaw which was massive
for you because you come on that shore
and you spoke out how you believed then
and if things that you seen and you
things you with educating yourself west
because you always see the deadly
Kilcher which I believe was it's sad
when you watch that and of you am when
you're working on that did you know that
that was going to be the outcome yeah
it's kind of funny um people people
people said to me didn't you know that
what happen if you said this and said
that I thought I said what do you know
I'd worked that out but you say it
anyway but but you see there's a lot of
background with that because I was I was
going through my life I left school at
15 I didn't take a major exam because I
went to be a professional footballer
with Coventry and and and others and
then my career ended with rheumatoid
arthritis I played a whole year of
League football with rheumatoid
arthritis that's whole story and in
itself but what that did is it developed
it developed in you because all these
things are within us and experience
brings them out and if you don't have
experience often they don't come out so
um I have this phrase um life tends to
give us our greatest gifts brilliantly
disguised as our worst nightmares
because often our worst nightmare will
will bring things out of us that
wouldn't otherwise happen this is why if
you if you bring your kids up and you
protect them from everything you're
doing them no favors because you're not
developing strong people who will be
able to deal with life you're developing
people who are always looking to be
protected and look at what we have now
and once you have a generation or or you
have a population that wants to be
protected and perceives itself all the
time as being a victim where is the
power point of power move it moves to
Authority because people look to
authority to protect them from what
their fear or what they feel victimized
by so what we
we've been developing is a population of
emotionally weak people who perceive
themselves in terms of victims when you
have challenges in life and you meet
them it brings something out of you so
for instance when my my arthritis came
and I didn't know what else am I going
to do at that time I wanted to be a
football I wanted to be a footballer
since I was a kid and now me joints are
swollen up and they're telling me I'm
gonna have to pack it in now I thought
I'm not packing it in I want to give it
a go so I went to a club called Herald
United that was a league club then and I
played the whole season with rheumatoid
arthritis every morning when we were
training and warming up for training on
cold English mornings I was in agony and
and and I would be limping and
what-have-you and players are say oh
what's wrong now I can die I would give
a different excuse all got a bit of a
Paul oh I think I've got a bit of a
blister but actually it was the same
thing all the kind and I played the
season out and eventually got so bad
that I couldn't carry on but he brought
something out of me this this
determination not not to give up and not
to give in and then I I decided because
when I was a kid I I was always reading
newspapers and I was very interested in
journalism so I became a journalist and
long story short I eventually became a
television presenter Rover had a well
known back then yeah I was yeah I was I
was a national television per century in
those days which we and when I look at
my life now you see and and what I'm
doing my life before which appeared to
be a series of random events same with
you you've had your challenges in life
what is it done it's made you the person
you are you wouldn't be the person you
are now without them and people say well
I regret that or regret that well the
thing to regret is if you don't learn
from the experience that's the regret
but learning from the experience well
you've had a gift what you've written
for and so I am I went into journalism
because I was very interested in that
and I've actually became this television
presenter and when you look at my life
as I was saying
all the different elements are including
going into journalism and seeing the
media for what it is going into politics
with the Green Party and seeing politics
of what it is well III didn't know at
the time but they were all giving me
very very important understandings that
will be useful later on and then what
happened is yes sir this is a kind of
bizarre story but it happened I was I
was in the Green Party and and I and I
was still working for the BBC television
presenter and both were leaving me
completely cold you know the the the the
beep the BBC it's it's not a great
organization to work for if you care
about the truth and you care about you
know more than the official version of
everything and I also was looking at the
Green Party politics from the inside and
seeing that it was just like every other
party and so I was out what do I do with
my life now because I can't go on with
either of these and what happened was a
very strange thing happened because in
the early part of what would it be
1989 I started having this feeling that
when I was in a room alone I wasn't
alone and it's like this it's like this
there was an atmosphere there there's
something there and through 1989 this
this got more and more and more powerful
to the point where in early 1990 I was
working for the BBC and I was it I was
staying at a hotel called the cancer Dan
Hilton just down for the BBC
headquarters and I'm sitting on the side
of the bed and in in this apparently
empty room and and there there was such
a sense of a presence there that I said
into the room you know if there's
something there would you please contact
me because you'll drive me up the wall
few days later I'm on the seafront with
my son gareth little boy then in ride
where I live on the are white and I go
into this news agent shot
where gas was looking at one of the
books and I said to him come on gas
we'll come and get some lunch in the
town and as I said it it was like the
atmosphere changed like the energetic
field around me changed and all I heard
it wasn't it wasn't a voice it was a
very strong thought form it said go and
look at the books on the far side and
I'm standing there thinking you know do
not shut your so yeah now basically what
them so I start walking across to the
books in inner inner days thinking what
is happening and I knew this bookshop
that the books it sold were for you know
the tourists had come to the are white
they were basically Mills and Boon and
and and you know perfectly form English
roses and having relationships with
perfectly formed you know uniformed
soldiers and all this stuff so I'm
thinking what am I going over here for
but right in the middle of these books
was one called mind to mind by a woman
called Betty shine a picture was on the
front it was different to the other side
picked it up and I turn it over and I
read the blurb and she was a psychic an
English psychic and she was telling her
life story so I bought the book read it
in 24 hours found it very interesting
contacted up because I wanted to go and
see if she would pick up what the hell
was happening around me for the last
year and so I went I told her nothing
what I told it was because she did this
hands-on healing as well which is just
an exchange of energy you know it's not
mumbo Jumbo's an exchange of energy okay
yes it's just an exchange of energy
that's all it is but anyway um I told
her that because I said I've got
arthritis maybe it will help because I
didn't want to give anything away or
what's happening to me so I'm sitting on
this bench this medical type bench in
her front room you know she'd chatting
away and she's doing that all you know
hands-on healing just next to my left
knee and suddenly the atmosphere changed
again and I felt like a spider's web on
my face now what hit me was in her book
she said when other levels of reality
are trying to lock into you you
sometimes feel like a spider's web when
you face well I know what that what that
was now it's electromagnetic energy you
know you know when you you you you're in
a crowd a football crowd with great
emotional excitement you you feel like a
charge of energy the hair stands up well
yet you know that's electromagnetic fit
their electromagnetic fields so that's
what I was feeling but it did feel like
a spider's web on the face and I said
nothing but to the to the to the to
Betty but I'm thinking what the hell and
then about ten or fifteen seconds later
she reels her head back and she said my
god this is powerful I've got to close
my eyes for this one I made bombs for
going further down there what have you
got to do yourself into here I key and
she starts telling me in March 1990
there I'm gonna go out on a world stage
and reveal great secrets I would face
enormous opposition but they whatever
that is would always be there to protect
me and that there there was a shadow
over the world that and there was a
story that needed to be told that
humanity was gonna was going to go
through a phase of waking up and coming
out of basically its coma which is
programming and that I was gonna go out
and do that one man cannot change the
world but one man can communicate the
message that can change the world was
one of the things she said and I'm
sitting there I'm a television presenter
for the BBC I'm a national spokesman for
the Green Party and I'm thinking what
are you talking so I then leave leave
leave her and get on a train she lived
near Hassocks in Sussex and and and or
in her six actually and and then I drove
up or went up in the train to present a
television program but from that moment
on what one of the things that was said
that she said because she said the first
thing she said he had no idea about this
interaction in the Kensington Hill she's
saying that they're telling me they know
you you wanted them to contact you but
the time wasn't right and you you you
know now you've been brought here to be
contacted and they said they're saying
that you're
be led to knowledge and at other times
knowledge will be put into your mind all
right okay what so anyway after this he
at that time David the Jew think she was
maybe crazy because you know understand
that I'll be gee I don't work because
when you speaker but stuff like that
people go well he's maybe crazy but yeah
again it's judging people and
everybody's not on different paths yeah
I mean what I've been like may all me
life is um I've never dismissed things
that I can't know absolutely are not
true I I have this policy I put things
on the back burner and I see what comes
and if more information comes to support
it more incomplete nation comes to
support it there comes a point where
there's so much information supporting
that that it crosses the line and you
know you start to say okay I accept this
is what's happening but I don't just
dismiss things and never have on the
basis that they're different just being
the way I've always been was at the
start of your John that end going unless
women and everything like her weakened
and I smell bacon
yes yeah it was and and you know one of
the one of the things was that you know
it was gonna be tough and and so when I
left that left her house and got only
life very very quickly
synchronicity coincidences started to
occur where I'd meet people come across
information come across books come
across documents whatever that was
starting to like hand me puzzle pieces
and I started to realize as it built up
and it built up and it built up that
actually the world was not like I
thought it was well not like I thought
it was I really have that of you on that
I just but in Washington don't you know
I never did believe that politicians
around the world I always felt there was
something else but you didn't even you
didn't know what it was now I was
beginning to understand question
everything works yeah and another thing
that happened is that I would get just a
knowing
that this is how I think this is what's
going on here and then what would follow
would be names dates places hard factual
information that would support that view
which kind of connects with we will put
knowledge into his mind and this has
gone on now for 30 years and it's gone
through different different phases of
information and it's taken me down a an
extraordinary road of uncovering the
world as it is behind the facade of what
we're told it is and of course it's
taken me into realms of enormous
ridicule and enormous abuse but we come
back to the greatest gift our often that
you ever given is your worst nightmare
or what appears to be so if we go back
to the wagon show goes what happened
eventually as I went on the wagon show
and talked about what was happening to
me and at that time I was right in that
period of the whoa good show was period
of about three months I was going
through an enormous transformation of
that you doesn't understand I didn't
understand no because this is what
happened just very very very briefly is
that I I suddenly got this feeling that
I needed to go to Peru I didn't know why
I'd never been there I watched him play
in the World Cup a few times but I
didn't know anything about it and long
story short I ended up in Peru and and
not as series of enormous ly amazing
things happen to me and it culminated at
a place called Cu star knee which is
near a place called puno near Lake
Titicaca highest navigable lake in the
world they say about 13,000 feet and and
I ended up and a series of
synchronicities again at this so-called
Inca site called Cu star knee which is
all Inca ruins on a hill and there's a
lake and mountains right in the middle
of nowhere and I I went and I looked
around it and then I died hired this
taxi and this guide came with me and
we're driving away from Cu starting and
I'm just daydreaming which I do all the
time daydreaming out the window we sold
mind-wandering
and I'm looking at this hill as we're
coming towards it and as I looked at
this hill all I could hear in my head
was come to me come to me come to me you
know and I'm thinking you know I was
introducing I was introducing the
snooker not long ago actually and now
this freakin Hills talking to me Steve
Davis Jimmy white all his forgiver and
so I asked the guy to stop I said I
won't be a minute I'm going up that hill
and I walked up the hill and I didn't
know where I was going or why and um
there's this all these kind of stones
it's kind of a kind of circle like a
stones and I walked into the middle and
it's beautiful and there's not a cloud
in the sky it's a pure blue Peruvian sky
piercing Sun red nose to prove it and I
stood there and what happened to me then
happened to me I've covered this bit in
the new shop in ride where I'm standing
there and suddenly I feel like my feet
are being pulled to the ground and like
in it like magnetically and I'm feeling
like a drill in the top of my head and
the atmosphere changed again od this was
much more powerful than the news show
and I heard this again very strong
thought form go through my mind which
said first of all they'll be talking
about this a hundred years from now what
and then which Saint seemed absolutely
crazy given the sky in the Sun and that
it will be over when you feel the rain
right and then what happened is my arms
went out like that without me making any
decision to to to to do that and then
this energy got more and more powerful
and in the end my body's shaking and and
what what's happening it's like when you
drive in a car and you can't remember
the last mile
your subconscious had been driving the
car thank goodness I kept coming back to
some kind of consciousness and then
going back somewhere else
and as I came back to consciousness at
one point my conscious mind
I noticed that over the far distant
mountains there was a light gray mist
and I'm watching it and it's getting
dark and it's getting darker faster and
I think it's frickin raining and then
over not very long the whole thing took
maybe I don't know an hour 45 minutes an
hour this storm came out of the I mean
you couldn't make it up if you put if
you put this on it on a movie they'd say
oh come on it happened this this storm
is coming towards me and you know
whether people talk about it front yeah
well this is a front it's a straight
bloody line I'm looking up it's it's
it's literally out with some crazy movie
and this and it's stare rod rain it's
not just raining it's steroid rain and
it's coming towards me and I'm standing
there and I'm seeing this wall of water
coming towards me it's like something
out with bloody Moses frickin Red Sea
and and and by this time and the body's
shaking like crazy with this energy
coming through me and then the water hit
me I mean I mean it mmediately drenched
because it's steroid rain and bang the
energy stopped and I staggered forward
like Bambi because my legs were gone and
there were energy pouring out me feet
and pouring out me hands and it's still
pouring out there me feet I couldn't
sleep that night because of it and
something changed I if you people could
imagine you lived your life in a bubble
literally a bubble of information a
bubble of perception and someone's come
along without any warning and pop the
bloody thing and suddenly every
thing that was outside the bubble was
pouring in so my mind is absolutely
awash with information concepts insights
what the hell was going on that it was
just a chaotic mass of information and
thought and everything and in that
period it lasted about three months if
you'd have asked me my name and I
checked and that it was in that period
in me turquoise shell sue that I went on
to the the Wogan show and and everything
that that that that happened and after
about three months after all the
ridicule and all the newspapers and all
that stuff basically you know when you
you you press too many keys on a
computer in the computer for esa's says
I can't process this well that was me
there was so much information pouring
into my conscious mind as a result of
that experience in Peru I could process
it you basically froze what happened
after three months is it unfroze and now
I'm the old David again but I ain't just
more I'm seeing the world in completely
different way I'm see I'm as they as
they say when you read a newspaper the
truth is in the white bits not the words
the bits in between you know you and so
I was seeing things and connections that
I couldn't see before did you have a
question yourself David anything am I
losing my mind don't need to go and get
help or the street for you did that well
understand that about more well it felt
right to me I could say a completely
understood it then it felt right to me
and and I I did I did what I always do
like I've just mentioned earlier I
thought okay I'm going with this and
we're gonna see where it's gonna go and
I didn't know where he was going but I'm
gonna go with this and see where it goes
and people were coming up to me after
that you know Shh unfreezing and they
were saying it thought they thought
you'd gone mad you're the same day we
used to know but I wasn't I appear to be
but I wasn't I was seeing the world in a
completely different
way and of course in in a world which is
overwhelmingly programmed to see the
world in a certain way it's what happens
through the education system and the
media and peer pressure it's very very
narrow band of sense of the possible
sense of what is when you start talking
about things that are different to that
then immediately the reaction is you're
crazy or you're dangerous or in my case
you're both but what followed what
followed of course was the mass ridicule
as a report the Wogan show and people
said you know it must have been horrible
what it was but it was the greatest gift
I ever have been given because it set me
free of the prison that most people live
in which is the fear of what other
people think
