Doomed to Happiness (see DISCRIPTION)
Thank you for listening.
LINKS to issues I talk about in this episode:
- The mention of NO pregnant women and those who were at a funerall in the ice fishing event so that nature doesn't feel the "intense energy". In other words, if we don't blame god, we blame nature for US people not wanting our fun spoiled by the bereaved and pregnant women.
- The elder blind man who needs help walking around and who has a lot of fun while bereaved & pregnant women spoil the spirit of the event. If an elderly man said to me I need to stay home after a funeral so not to spoil the fun event, I would not go to HIS funeral when he dies, so I can go out and have fun. :-P

When Police knock at your Door (Links below)
LINKS and what I forgot to mention.
Upfront: NEVER bring the news of a loved ones death via email! Not even via phone unless you have absolutely no other choice.
Regarding auditing:
I also forgot to mention about the difference between a Police Constable (PC) and Police Community Support Officer (PCSO). PCSOs have even LESS powers than police but often pretend they are PCs with powers.
Auditor Power To The Proletariat educates a power-tripping PCSO who have to carry rules with them:
https://youtu.be/F-mH9FX4gMg?t=246
PCSO's are called "plastic police" by auditors as they often power trip, pretending to be police.
You can NOT fly drones over prisons, airports and military bases. And maybe elsewhere which I haven't checked.
You CAN fly a drone up to 250g without a drone license over police stations, inside police foyers, Jobcentres etc. ANY public places that is funded by tax payers.
The auditors are respectful to members of the public, and will never publish anything personal, but they are pointing out to services that it is responsibility of the service to hide personal information of people from the public. Whatever the EYE can see, a camera can sse as well!!!
Yes, there are bad auditors out there who provoke, those I don't watch or recommend.
And there is a reason why convicted criminal police officers together with pedos are the lowest ranked in prison and have to look over their shoulder.
Best British and American auditors:
Auditing Britain (AB) – Latest audit in Brixton
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFK9zj3dgqI
And AB about data breahces that companies do, in this case the BBC having screens showing to the public and he took photos of it to make a point. He as the photograper is accused of doing data breach, but it is actually the BBC that does the data breach by not doing appropriate measures to hide the screens from the public view:
https://youtu.be/VwAQHYP0nzE?t=620
AND he further explains about the data breach:
https://youtu.be/VwAQHYP0nzE?t=1180
Power To The Proletariat (PTTP)
The CALMEST auditor with a psychology degree. No-one can explain stuff like he does!
He seems to have stopped, as the last video was 2 years ago. But my favourite audit by him of a Chief Superintendent who tried to trick lower ranked Police Constables to do an unlawful arrest. The responsibility lies with the person who makes the arrest, NOT the person who gives the unlawful order! PTTP explains that very well and ended up doing a group photo with the PCs! :-D
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6-8VR1wegw
Focus Pocus with the best drone shots and music.
https://www.youtube.com/@focuspocus3690
Long Island Audits – most successful, knowledgable and calm auditor in the USA. Some good police stations invite him t educate police, that's how good he is!
https://www.youtube.com/@LongIslandAudit
Recent videos by a Barrister about when Police knock at your door
Side note, Blackbelt Barrister is not my favourite channel as he often doesn't seem to come to the point and leaves things out, maybe so people stay glued to his channel and give him clicks. But it's still good to hear from the legal side.
“Can You Ignore it? and Can Police Demand Your Name?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps27LUyNpl8

MRI Hidden in my File --- (Read description below)
I forgot to mention that if you ever get a scan, you can bring a friend to sit with you in the room if you have huge anxiety. Also please note, the royalty free picture I used for this episode with a woman in a scanner, this "cage" thing over her face looks very generous, my "cage" was more tighter around the neck, still enough for me to slide out if I needed to as the nurse let me try to slide out as a test, but mine was much tighter than the photo here.
She is looking at a mirror aimed at the back wall with a screen where films are shown. I had headphones to cancel the scanner noise as much as possible.
I also forgot to mention that after the scan the nurse who kept speaking to me over the headset, accompanied me to the locker area. I told him that they changed my MRI to Mobile MRI but I requested to be booked back to the regular MRI again. He confirmed that it was a good idea to rebook back to regular, as the mobile scanner isn't as good!
Stand up for yourself, it's YOUR body, YOUR mind, YOUR health, YOUR life. We only have this 1 life!
Difference between open/mobile and regular/closed MRI (scroll down to the chart):

You DON'T Need to Forgive!
Upfront, I am NOT suicidal.
Even when this is a well-meaning advice from people to you after you suffered either trauma, wrong doing etc. you do NOT need to forgive, not even when a psychologist tells you this to feel better. Forgiveness does NOT make you feel better, it is gaslighting your system.
Forgiveness is important when YOU want to and especially when those who need forgiveness ASK for it in a humble and respectful manner. But you do NOT need to forgive at all. This forgiveness doctrine is society's cop-out for you to function, so they don't have to bother with your trauma or incapability to function in society, while a good meaning friend doesn't give a toss about how you were injured and damaged during your most vulnerable time.
For psychologists stumbling on my podcast, it also would be good, just like psychiatrist Dr. Frank Ochberg campaigns for, to rename Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI).

The Arrogance of Pret A Manger & itsu Executives
Link to the blog post of the converted audio:
https://expret.org/2025/09/17/pret-a-manger-and-itsu-arrogance
I am aware that I made a typo that the audio converted. I meant to write "public", in the rush didn't type the "L", and the audio reads it as "pubic" which the spell-check doesn't pick up as it still is a word. Ok, let's have a laugh and keep hearing the core message about these entitled execs of Pret and itsu. :-)

Pret A Manger LOST Value 😂
HA HA HA and HA!!!
Schadenfreude is indeed the best joy!
Please see LINKS below to the issues I talk about in this episode.
Social media is exploding today 09.09.2025 with news that Pret has lost a third of their value since JAB Holding's £1.5 billion purchase in 2018 and are doing a "goodwill impairment". First time I come across this and I put a brief explanation from YouTube in the podcast episode.
A third of Pret's value got flushed down the toilet! 😂
Apart from that, Pret are £700 million in debt while tasked by JAB to aggressively expand worldwide to double in size by 2026. I did a blogpost about private equity and how they purposely put companies in debt.
