00:03:00.419 --> 00:03:02.360

00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:48.460
We<00:03:44.699><c> think</c><00:03:44.919><c> of</c><00:03:45.020><c> that</c><00:03:45.259><c> as</c><00:03:45.879><c> sort</c><00:03:46.020><c> of</c><00:03:46.280><c> northern</c><00:03:46.719><c> France,</c><00:03:47.960><c> Germany.</c>

00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:50.120
Perhaps<00:03:48.879><c> we'll</c><00:03:49.060><c> put</c><00:03:49.180><c> some</c><00:03:49.360><c> of</c><00:03:49.460><c> these</c><00:03:49.580><c> on</c><00:03:49.780><c> a</c><00:03:49.919><c> map</c>

00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:55.300
This<00:03:52.379><c> is</c><00:03:52.560><c> where</c><00:03:52.719><c> we</c><00:03:53.120><c> think</c><00:03:53.419><c> that</c><00:03:53.719><c> these</c><00:03:54.000><c> nations</c>

00:03:55.460 --> 00:03:58.099

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:00.460
But<00:03:58.860><c> we</c><00:03:59.060><c> also</c><00:03:59.460><c> notice,</c><00:03:59.900><c> don't</c><00:04:00.159><c> we,</c>

00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:08.620

00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.280
right,<00:04:12.699><c> but</c><00:04:12.979><c> it's</c><00:04:13.139><c> not</c><00:04:13.340><c> actually</c><00:04:13.580><c> about</c><00:04:13.860><c> that</c><00:04:14.080><c> at</c><00:04:14.300><c> all.</c>

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:18.139
Clearly,<00:04:16.939><c> when</c><00:04:17.220><c> men</c><00:04:17.420><c> are</c><00:04:17.620><c> concerned,</c>

00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:24.000

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.740
Why?

00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.039

00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:55.819
we<00:19:53.779><c> believe</c><00:19:54.059><c> that</c><00:19:54.220><c> that</c><00:19:54.380><c> was</c><00:19:54.559><c> the</c><00:19:54.779><c> Ottomans,</c>

00:19:55.859 --> 00:19:58.980
because<00:19:56.099><c> the</c><00:19:56.400><c> Ottomans</c><00:19:56.740><c> were</c><00:19:57.019><c> sitting</c><00:19:57.299><c> in</c><00:19:57.519><c> that</c><00:19:57.720><c> territory,</c>

00:20:04.299 --> 00:20:05.900
Who's<00:20:04.799><c> the</c><00:20:05.059><c> him?</c>

00:20:06.900 --> 00:20:09.059
It's<00:20:07.759><c> the</c><00:20:07.900><c> Ottomans.</c>

00:20:09.220 --> 00:20:10.779
It's<00:20:09.440><c> the</c><00:20:09.720><c> Turks.</c>

00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:16.460

00:20:16.599 --> 00:20:20.880
Turkey,<00:20:19.140><c> like</c><00:20:19.319><c> a</c><00:20:19.720><c> whirlwind,</c>

00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:25.599

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.900
So<00:20:31.299><c> we've</c><00:20:31.799><c> found</c><00:20:32.039><c> ourselves</c><00:20:32.880><c> in</c><00:20:33.980><c> history.</c>

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:38.640
We've<00:20:35.619><c> found</c><00:20:35.740><c> ourselves</c><00:20:36.420><c> in</c><00:20:36.720><c> this</c><00:20:37.259><c> great</c><00:20:37.599><c> prophetic</c><00:20:38.019><c> book.</c>

00:20:39.099 --> 00:20:42.079
We<00:20:39.400><c> are</c><00:20:39.900><c> halfway</c><00:20:40.420><c> through,</c><00:20:40.900><c> if</c><00:20:41.019><c> you</c><00:20:41.240><c> like,</c>

00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:47.799
which<00:20:46.299><c> ties</c><00:20:46.640><c> so</c><00:20:46.940><c> beautifully,</c><00:20:47.299><c> of</c><00:20:47.500><c> course,</c>

00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:50.000

00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:58.220
Now<00:20:56.200><c> let's</c><00:20:56.319><c> just</c><00:20:56.559><c> build</c><00:20:56.779><c> on</c><00:20:56.960><c> this</c><00:20:57.119><c> a</c><00:20:57.160><c> little</c><00:20:57.339><c> more,</c>

00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:02.180

00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:09.000

00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:12.259

00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:48.940
Now<00:21:47.859><c> we</c><00:21:48.119><c> know,</c><00:21:48.519><c> don't</c><00:21:48.740><c> we,</c>

00:22:09.579 --> 00:22:10.960
and<00:22:09.680><c> I</c><00:22:09.799><c> can</c><00:22:09.920><c> just</c><00:22:10.059><c> about</c><00:22:10.279><c> read</c><00:22:10.420><c> it</c><00:22:10.619><c> here,</c>

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:13.180
it<00:22:11.619><c> says</c><00:22:11.759><c> the</c><00:22:11.920><c> ancient</c><00:22:12.359><c> Constantinople</c>

just<00:22:17.480><c> like</c><00:22:19.299><c> old</c><00:22:20.220><c> Rome.</c>

00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.559
So<00:22:23.799><c> they</c><00:22:24.400><c> know</c><00:22:24.900><c> that</c><00:22:25.579><c> this</c><00:22:25.960><c> city,</c>

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.500
because<00:22:50.279><c> they</c><00:22:50.539><c> are</c><00:22:50.920><c> Muslim</c><00:22:51.599><c> as</c><00:22:52.519><c> a</c><00:22:52.740><c> nation.</c>

00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:13.180
This<00:29:10.299><c> is</c><00:29:10.819><c> what</c><00:29:10.960><c> we'd</c><00:29:11.480><c> expect</c><00:29:11.980><c> brethren</c><00:29:12.539><c> and</c><00:29:12.720><c> sisters</c>

00:36:31.099 --> 00:36:32.659
After<00:36:31.119><c> the</c><00:36:31.420><c> annexation</c><00:36:32.019><c> of</c><00:36:32.239><c> Crimea,</c>

on<00:36:36.300><c> the</c><00:36:36.500><c> rise</c><00:36:36.760><c> of</c><00:36:36.960><c> what</c><00:36:37.059><c> he</c><00:36:37.360><c> calls</c><00:36:37.719><c> strategic</c><00:36:38.500><c> maskerovka.</c>

00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:42.760
It's<00:36:40.260><c> designed</c><00:36:40.440><c> quite</c><00:36:40.699><c> simply</c><00:36:41.099><c> to</c><00:36:41.880><c> keep</c><00:36:42.039><c> adversaries</c>

00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:46.019

00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:07.139
This<00:39:04.280><c> nation</c><00:39:04.800><c> that</c><00:39:05.199><c> historically,</c><00:39:06.500><c> by</c><00:39:06.699><c> the</c><00:39:06.860><c> way,</c>

00:39:27.980 --> 00:39:32.280
Putin's<00:39:28.460><c> Russia</c><00:39:28.840><c> is</c><00:39:29.340><c> exploiting</c><00:39:30.099><c> the</c><00:39:30.380><c> weakness</c><00:39:30.920><c> of</c><00:39:31.679><c> liberal</c><00:39:32.000><c> Europe.</c>

00:39:39.460 --> 00:39:42.760
Hence<00:39:39.659><c> postmodern</c><00:39:40.199><c> absolutism</c><00:39:40.820><c> relies</c><00:39:41.159><c> on</c><00:39:41.500><c> coercion</c><00:39:41.960><c> of</c><00:39:42.099><c> the</c><00:39:42.280><c> masses</c>

The<00:41:47.119><c> first</c><00:41:47.619><c> is</c><00:41:48.420><c> an</c><00:41:48.659><c> attempt</c><00:41:48.980><c> to</c><00:41:49.260><c> promote</c><00:41:49.559><c> a</c><00:41:49.820><c> sense</c>

The<00:42:08.699><c> second</c><00:42:09.320><c> is</c><00:42:09.860><c> the</c><00:42:10.039><c> promotion</c><00:42:10.380><c> of</c><00:42:10.980><c> alternative</c>

00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:26.840

00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:29.659

This<00:56:51.179><c> appears</c><00:56:51.400><c> doubtful,</c><00:56:52.400><c> since</c><00:56:52.639><c> Syrian</c><00:56:52.980><c> President</c><00:56:53.460><c> Bashar</c>

00:57:07.179 --> 00:57:09.519
So<00:57:07.380><c> much</c><00:57:07.619><c> so,</c><00:57:08.320><c> that</c><00:57:08.440><c> this</c><00:57:08.679><c> week</c><00:57:08.980><c> they</c><00:57:09.320><c> said</c>

00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:19.079
Now<00:57:15.039><c> we</c><00:57:15.420><c> know</c><00:57:16.159><c> that</c><00:57:16.559><c> that</c><00:57:17.219><c> cannot</c><00:57:17.619><c> happen,</c>

01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:08.960
We<01:01:05.719><c> understand</c><01:01:06.260><c> this,</c><01:01:07.539><c> and</c><01:01:07.719><c> we</c><01:01:08.099><c> certainly</c><01:01:08.500><c> wouldn't</c><01:01:08.780><c> want</c>

01:01:42.420 --> 01:01:44.380

01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:05.460
We<01:02:04.659><c> know</c><01:02:04.860><c> that</c><01:02:05.019><c> that's</c><01:02:05.260><c> happened.</c>
