Mark, I am sorry about the court ordeal that awaits, and the successive ordeals to follow. My question: if one wanted to travel to DC to be in the public area of the courtroom—potentially to provide some on the scene moral support, with some praying added for good measure, how would one find the correct courtroom and the times of the trial sessions? Whether or not I make it in person, I know I will not being alone in praying for your attorneys to be at their professional best and for the judge to be overcome by an almost unheard of burst of judicial fairness.

Hi Mark, though I left the practice of law over a decade ago, some habits die hard, so I spent some time this past week perusing the on-line docket for Mann's lawsuit against you. It appears that though you were represented by various counsel for much of the case, you are going to handle the actual trial pro se but with an attorney providing trial assistance as needed. I'm curious why you decided to proceed in this fashion which is unique in my experience.
As demonstrated by your deposition testimony, you are well equipped to defend yourself (with help to handle the technical legal aspects of a trial.) I only wish there were a way to watch when you have the chance to finally personally confront Mann on cross examination.
I join the many others out here who wish you good health and fervently hope you achieve the vindication you deserve at the conclusion of this outrageously and absurdly long ordeal.

All the very best in taking down Mann. If there is a more obnoxious oaf on either side of the Atlantic than that buffoon, please don't point them in my direction.
On the subject of buffoons, the British press are reporting that Boris Johnson is joining the Tories and Trivia channel at GB News in 2024.
Some marriages are just made in heaven aren't they? Boris has always been a bounder, a cad and a chancer so he should fit right in. What say you?
Keep well Mark, we are all rooting for you. You're the man. Not the Mann.

I think this is my first question for a live q&a, though I never miss listening to one. Did you see that on his influential blog, former NY Times reporter Alex Berenson this week started a series on the West's demographic collapse? This is after he became a pariah from polite society for his attacks on the COVID shots. Do you think now that more and more people have seen the truth about COVID (and seen hamas mobs in New York make Jews hide in attics again) they will be more willing to discuss other untouchable issues, such as admitting to having read America Alone?
Good luck in court, do take care of yourself, we're praying for you as ever!

Mark,
You have mentioned in the past how America's Dirty, Stinking, Rotten, Corrupt Justice System (Trademark Pending) has too many advantages for the government to buy witnesses and otherwise pressure the defendants during the proceedings which result in guilty verdicts 97% of the time. What substantive changes do you think need to be made to make the process fairer for defendants yet also allow the government to successfully prosecute actual criminals? Would you disallow the use of plea bargains to force the Government to actually put on their case for all to see? Would you disallow use of witnesses for the prosecution that have been offered "deals" to turn on the defendant?
Enough already! Tell us what you think needs to be done.

Mark, here's to your health continuing to steadily improve.
One small request for you while you're in Washington. Please "Take a Message to Michael," specifically that when it comes to all things Mann-made, am taking a hard pass on his hockey shtick, and opting instead for the far more credible "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" of the Manfred variety.
And, please try to look on the bright side of the drawn out "process-is-the-punishment" American justice system. I suspect that it has radioactive elements, such that each appeal interval is likely to be only the half-life of its preceding phase, so a breezy six years to the adjudication of the first appeal, and a don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-it three years to a hearing in the Supreme Court.
Take care.

Hi Mark,
Virtually all the recent news on the climate apocalypse front seems to be encouraging. For instance, Anthony Watts' site has a posting highlighting a Norwegian Government official report by statisticians that says there is no statistical evidence supporting the idea that human CO2 emissions significantly affects climate, and it also links to two papers showing that the arrow of causality between CO2 and tempertature is that temperature rises, THEN CO2 goes up, and not the other way around. On top of that, wind projects are being canceled right and left and ESG funds are collapsing. Auto makers are retreating on EVs. All this does not directly address your legal issues, but it does suggest that there is a phase change in the offing where climate alarmism is starting to take a back seat to reality. It might not help you in court in the near term, but it might lift your spirits.

Hello Mark,
All the best in your upcoming court case, and thanks for taking time for the Clubland Q&A. Millions of dollars were wasted by the consultant class that jump on board of Trump 2020. Maybe they could have created some adds that foreshadowed the awful state of the world that Biden and whoever is running the show has created in less than three years. However, I doubt most would believe it. Truth is stranger than fiction. Hard to imagine that in another year, or an additional four years, things will get better. Are we seeing the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end of the USA's and the West's collapse?

However, for some time, I have increasingly felt that Professor Michael Yeadon's fears that too few people will wake up in time. With Klaus Schwab's depopulation,& single new world order govt of 300 elite VIPs, with very small globalist elite class. Taking all world resources, their ownership, and control. The other totalitarian risk is a fervent world govt of Islam, its teaching, Sharia Law & Hadiths' instructions of way of life.

Best of luck in court; hopefully the madness concludes soon enough.
What do you make of the likelihood of a major war breaking out in the Middle East? I fear that the public outrage following an invasion of Gaza in even the so-called moderate muslim states will compel leaders to act against Israel. We all know the threat of Iran, but now even President Erdogan is taking a staunch anti-Israel stance. Moreover, current American statesmen seem inept at the art of diplomacy.

Mark, and fellow Club members, what are your thoughts on the possibility of Israel's war on Hamas possibly escalating into a new world war? "Deep thinker" and "foreign policy guru" Lindsey Graham has already advocated a direct US attack on Iran, the state sponsor of Hamas and Hezbollah. Douglas MacGregor has spelled out a possibility of Russia intervening on Iran's behalf and Turkey intervening on Gaza's behalf.
World War I started over an assassination. Could we see a similar chain reaction of escalation? On the bright side, if nukes start flying, that might be grounds for a continuance in your upcoming trial.

Dear Mark,
Greg Gutfeld said on The Five, "They wanted peace of mind instead of peace" regarding the establishment wanting Biden in office instead of Trump. That phrase sums up what people think is most important. Peace of mind that they got the jab and aren't spreading COVID even when the evidence says that they still can. Peace of mind that they support open borders, less police, and empty jails rather than be labeled a racist. Peace of mind that they want gun control, believing they're preventing the next mass shooting when they have no evidence that such laws do anything and they believe that the same border that couldn't even keep fentanyl out of this country, they believe they can keep guns out. The peace of mind that they stand with Palestine and the "victims" of Israel's "occupation" and that their attack on Israel is justified. And finally the peace of mind we spent twenty years in Afghanistan with no strategy, war aims, or definition of victory but being there is good enough, TSA security checks for American citizens, and the Patriot Act to spy on American citizens is what makes us all sleep well at night.
What happened to us, Mark? How could we have fallen for such childish views and believed them to work out in the end?

Mark,
I do remember 30 years ago being dismissed (along with dozens of others) from a job at a major UK plc. I alone took them to an industrial tribunal in Belfast. I did not have any money for legal representation so I took on their barrister, their solicitor and their in-house legal team. After eight days, I won the case and it remains one of the proudest moments of my life.
So, as someone who has, to some extent, been there before - I wish you well.
Remember: "the place is here; the time is now"
By the way, I was trying to buy the hardback edition of The Prisoner of Windsor. Amazon wouldn't send it to my home address in Belfast. They wouldn't send it to my business address in Belfast. They would however send it to my wife's house in England. Funny that and the irony of it in relation to your book is not lost on me – thanks Boris et al.
