Pondering the BB thing myself.
*Mind Manipulation
Bugs Bunny has an amazing sense of manipulation throughout the series where he can bend characters’ thoughts and actions to his will. * The most prominent example is in the famous “Rabbit Fire” episode (apart of the Hunting Season trilogy), where he tricks his friend/foe Daffy Duck, that he is the one being hunted up to three times. He is seen manipulating Daffy with a silver tongue and sleight of hand as he purposefully selects what lines to deliver and when, while switching the signs to also confuse Elmer Fudd, to leave Daffy dumbfounded and on the short end of the metaphorical stick.
Simon says it will be obvious IF ever known. So I doubt the above makes any sense. So does it have to do with name recondition? What is Obvious about Bugs Bunny. ??
I have recently caught Simon's videos in the last 3 weeks. He is interesting but we Americans have a propensity to think folks with an "English" accent are intelligent. After spending much time in UK and abroad it is really not the case.
Can any anons catch me up on this guys "sources" that he throws out regularly ?? Would like more background on this cat.

He seems (and indeed claims to be) well-informed, and he frequently uses the 'I know, but don't have permission to tell you' routine. Is this just a Jedi mind game to appear privileged with secret info or is it real? Who knows at this point?
What I do like about him is his calm presence and his persistent warning about the flood of disinformation presently circulating. For a Brit, he seems to understand the American mindset well, and his status as an 'outsider' adds to his mystique. He claims to be a former spook, but he never gives sources for what he says unless he links to some article or video.
So I enjoy his vids, and take what I can from them as food for thought and/or a jumping-off point for further digging. It's a mistake to accept everything he says as gospel.
OK thanks that helps a bit. My head is in the same place. Glad you picked up on his privileged info speak. Very British.
The classic American form of course is "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." LQL!
The bulk of my experience with British dialect is from Benny Hill, Monty Python, old movies, and acid trips with Tom Lodge.
