Former Rebels MC president Dave Martin

Former Rebels president Dave Martin shares his story of redemption. After joining the navy at 26 years old, he found his passion. Unfortunately though because of his violent tendencies he found himself in a notorious military prison.
After leaving the navy and joining the Rebels MC he rose through the ranks to become president of his own chapter in Queensland. After the notorious VLAD laws were put in place Dave decided to leave the club life behind. He is now living his best life, and is doing his best to put his past behind him.

Love the history the podcast brings

[@lyndenmanning]

Why does he have PTSD? He said he was in the Navy and never saw combat, I'm missing something or ? Wouldn't people have PTSD from having to work with him 😆

[@M77982]

All Navy guys get PTSD, from all that salt water and sperm.

[@user-zo9jc7fg1w]

Because it's the fanciful BS that everyone who's served in the ADF likes to conceive because it sounds better than the reality of being a natural disaster clean up crew and spending whole deployments behind the wire.

[@Leafy653]

People with proper ptsd don’t talk about what gave them it because they’re to traumatised

[@lyndenmanning]

@@Leafy653 l agree, they desperately avoid the topic

Would be interesting king dave, if you kept a record of how many guests had either an absent father or a horrible one.

I understand what you're saying to the point where I think the contrary, the outliers are the ones that interest me. Where abuse/trauma (esp. childhood) isn't present... Few and far between, and for those cases that do fit the criteria the abuse may just have been private/undisclosed 😕 Trauma is one of their weapons imho, 100%. It's too effective and society/governments/institutions/corporations etc are far too ineffective, or rather fkn trash, to stop the death spiral of a traumatized world isolated from both past and present, relegated to something akin to a background character, that's like a NPC, but also they're the main character (POV of audience- whoever is observing) or even seems to be a/THE only playable character you can ever hope to unlock. NPC's don't remember that you, they don't know that you're gonna stab him like you've always done to him if you see the character while playing GTA. Without accessible memory/data, how can I plan? That NPC might of waved and said hello before getting stabbed as always. NPC lacks past data, cannot speculate future data and therefore when the future inevitably becomes the present we're all liable to getting shanked down. Like the NPC on GTA V who's only thinking"how can I 'survive' today?". Kinda like "paycheck to paycheck" but it's "day-by-day, moment- by-moment. Textbook crisis. Drugs, self harm, maladaptive behaviours, almost obliterated sense of spiritualty and religion etc, If the global populus in an epidemic of extremely widespread identity crisis (and spreading- fast too. Can spread to anyone in effective proximity, and it also has a disgusting tendency to spread intergenerationally. It is quite literally airborne, what programming all these stations (TV, Radio etc- m media tldr) broad•cast "over the air waves" definitely play(ed) a major part in this. I can't be fucked finishing this but I mean just take gang violence and fatherless homes or abusive fathers, I'm sure you know. Then look, how are-

[@xixi560]

Alll of these "different" first world countries etc responding to the data and tackling the issue? Gonna go out on a limb and say the favourite to win is the option that fucks us all up. But yeah media/programs, capital and trauma are their best weapons imho, and the market is where we are kept. Money (capital) is power. Info is power. Therefore money (capital)=info Everyone has their price. The trap is the trap- the market is the market. Credit ain't a credit it's a debt. They live. If you think something is cool or appealing etc, question why tf. Info, question it- source question it. If you think something is goofy, cracked, dumb af, embarrassing etc- do your best to take a 2nd look, it's crazy how much laughably stupid (they programmed that tho so ig not too crazy) the things get/sound in regards to symbolism and shit, it's so "3 sides to a square- 3 sides to a triangle... Coincidence? 🔼"-esque but it's fkn legit. Anyway hope someone gets something from that lol ✌️

solid interview

Cheers bra

[@aussie_philosopher8079]

Another good story. I remember when those laws came in, it destroyed people, extreme harassment.

[@brettgarlick5252]

Weird comment, Did Dave work as a glass delivery driver for a while? Reminds me of a fella who I used to speak to and was a clearance diver. 🤟 Cheers

[@alastairdow4400]

Dave are you still pushing the tartarian mudslide stuff and how does it work with your Christian beliefs?

[@angelicupstart1977]

Is it cold ?

[@DebbieWatts-of8jn]

We need to get back to Graham Henry's rules, keep women and children out of it. The women knew not to ask questions and felt safe. Women knew what the rules were. And let's face it, when your relationship falls apart , us women turn into Medusa. LOL Debbie NSW

[@dixienormus388]

I watched the whole thing but couldn't find the redemption part, sure he left the club but it sounds like his best life was in tbe club or military not after it.

[@anthonyarthur750]

It's his story. Why does it have to be about redemption. It's interesting none the less

[@dixienormus388]

​@@anthonyarthur750 it literally states "His story of redemption" in the introduction. There was no redemption just a bloke talking story and one that appears to have a few hole's in it. I'm ex military (Army/Navy) myself and a few things don't add up.

DAVE mate I’ll reach out to you when I make it up to the cape. Will ride up there within 2 years I reckon, well go for a few beers and a ride mate.

[@edwardobernardino4347]

Ole Dave loves stretching out a decent yarn 🧶 I seen him catch a 45cm Barramundi one morning, by that eveing the bait fish he used to catch it was a metre long and the Barra he caught took a bite outa the aluminium boat as he was pulling it in 🐟

[@edwardobernardino4347]

This guy is a bit of an embarrassment to the defence force... Bitching about being in military jail... Saying the captain dont have any legal training they literally have a thing called the Military Justice System and there is a thing called The defence force discipline act 1982... and i can gaurentee they have training maybe this bloke slept though it...
