Rebel News Chief reporter Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the nitty gritty details, and Tamara Ugolini flew all the way to Berlin, Germany to take in the World Health Summit, and while she was there, she came across a frontline doctor who knew the response to COVID-19 would cause harm, but chose to remain silent.
00:00:00.000Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite rebels.
00:00:11.300Well, the Emergencies Act inquiry continues to soldier along, and what a week of dramatic testimony from lawyer Brendan Miller being escorted out by security to certain liberal cabinet ministers allegedly joking about sending in tanks to disperse the demonstrators.
00:00:30.780Oh, yeah, what a knee slapper. Rebel News chief reporter Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the nitty gritty details, and Tamara Ugolini flew all the way to Berlin, Germany to take in the World Health Summit, and while she was there, she came across a frontline doctor who knew the response to COVID-19 would cause harm, but alas, he chose to remain silent.
00:00:54.500Tamara has all the details and letters. We get your letters. We get your letters every minute of every day, and you had plenty to say about those three Chinese police stations allegedly operating in the greater Toronto area, but when it comes to our politicians and law enforcement personnel, this is apparently a matter of nothing to see here, folks. Move along, move along.
00:01:18.180We visited the Chinese consulate in Toronto. We didn't get any answers there either. Unbelievable. In any event, those are your Rebels. Now, let's round them up.
00:01:38.680Well, that we sought this, or are you talking about the one where he says that the processors could have been treated differently if they were Black or Indigenous, or is this anything else?
00:01:46.180Right. No, this is a Lamedi text from January 30th. I said it's something else, and boy, was it ever. He wanted to use the Emergencies Act as early as 1.5 days into the convoy, and he was indicating he would treat the protest differently based on race.
00:01:59.120So what he said was, do we have contingency for these trucks to be removed tomorrow or Tuesday? And then he puts in brackets, if they were Black or Indigenous, dot, dot, dot, meaning, should we consider treating them differently because they aren't Black or Indigenous?
00:02:15.700As opposed to our approach to Indigenous-led, however, I wouldn't say it's Indigenous protests, blocking rail lines or sabotaging pipelines, or I don't know, maybe we need a minister to come out and take a knee with them, the way Justin Trudeau did with the BLM marches.
00:02:36.400So this is what he's saying. He says, what's the normative authority do we have, or is some order needed, question mark, EA, question mark.
00:02:45.740So that's January 30th. Like, the sun had set on one day of convoy protests, and he's like, drop the hammer, war measures these people.
00:02:54.160Yeah. No, it was very, well, it was very surprising to hear that. It was very funny when I was sitting in the room, and I read that. So he clarified afterwards what he meant by that.
00:03:04.060And he meant that he understands that there are issues of so-called systemic racism in the police forces and in the justice system.
00:03:14.660And that had it been a Black or Indigenous protest, he was wondering if those people would have been treated more harshly and differently than the people at the convoy.
00:03:25.000But we know they weren't. That's a stupid thing. We know they weren't.
00:03:27.400And I recall the police beating down. I recall RCMP horses trampling two Indigenous protesters.
00:03:41.200So I don't think that these text messages make that much sense. I think it's pretty funny, honestly.
00:03:45.680When you think that those are the people in our government, I think it's pretty funny.
00:03:48.340Yeah. He's literally suggesting maybe we should look at this through a race lens instead of applying the rule of the law equally.
00:03:59.280He also said at one point he he called them protesters and he immediately corrected himself.
00:04:04.120And he said, I don't want to call them protesters because this was unlawful.
00:04:08.000And as we heard, it was never declared unlawful. The riot act was never invoked.
00:04:13.340None of that happened. And he should know better because he's the justice minister.
00:04:16.840And we can read ahead. On February 4th, he's got text messages again.
00:04:22.780So this is, I don't know, approximately four days later, five days later, still pushing the emergencies act.
00:04:28.520And I said, is it any wonder that his department then advised CSIS that the standard to invoke the EA was not CSIS section two, which CSIS said it never met.
00:04:36.880So on February 4th, he says, I believe the angle is incoming the emergencies act.
00:04:43.380So from the very beginning days, that was always going to be the outcome.
00:04:50.500They just needed to wait long enough to do it so they could, you know, at least have the cover of time saying, oh, these things were so dangerous.
00:04:58.320They were never going to resolve. And so what were we supposed to do after three plus three weeks almost?
00:05:05.020Yeah. Well, you know, we hear different witnesses say their account of when they think that the emergency act was first discussed.
00:05:12.500Some people said that it was the day prior to the invocation.
00:05:15.760Some people said it was the day of the invocation.
00:05:17.520People say it was a week before and they all swore under oath that they would tell the truth.
00:05:21.860So I'm inclined to think that it's just incompetence or ignorance that they don't know exactly when it was actually discussed firmly for the first time, because otherwise they would be they would be lying under oath.
00:05:33.260But I find it very funny to see that, you know, David Lamedi here said that it was one of the first options he thought of.
00:05:40.700Marco Mendicino in a press conference said that the emergency act was something that he thought about invoking since day one.
00:05:46.760I think Bill Blair said that Bill Blair told Global News from day one.
00:05:51.900It was Bill Blair then. It wasn't Marco Mendicino.
00:05:54.820And other witnesses said that it was later on.
00:05:57.540There's a lot of inconsistency within this whole inquiry.
00:09:47.380But either way, these are horrible people who have no business near the levers of power in this country.
00:09:53.540Because if you are a cabinet minister who looks at bounty castles and hot tubs and little kids playing street hockey and thinks, you know what, time to send in the tanks.
00:10:50.340I mean, Tiananmen Square is not a knee slapper event in history when it comes to humor.
00:10:56.740Secondly, in the cancel culture in which we live, even those professionally employed to be jokesters, i.e. stand-up comedians, face cancellation if their joke offends a certain group or the woke mob goes on a rampage.
00:11:16.040So what I'm saying is that that line, that old chestnut, I was just joking, it really doesn't work in this day and age.
00:11:28.900All of us are, because these are the people in charge.
00:11:31.580And frankly, I don't think it was a joke.
00:11:33.480I think they wanted one tank as a show of force, as intimidation five days into the protest.
00:11:41.240And there's another side note in all of this.
00:11:44.320So we have heard repeatedly here in Alberta that when our premier began asking for access to Canadian Armed Forces heavy haul equipment, because, you know, a tank hits the ditch, you've got to get it out of the ditch.
00:12:13.400In fact, I've heard that people from the government went up to CFB Edmonton, which is a straight shot out of downtown Edmonton, and laid eyes upon the equipment themselves.
00:12:24.340And then when they requested access to that equipment to help dissipate the Coutts blockade from the federal government, first the federal government said, there's no equipment there.
00:12:34.960And then they said, oh, there's equipment there.
00:12:38.160We just, we don't have any to spare for you is what Anita Anand said.
00:12:42.340Now, Bill Blair said, we just don't have the equipment.
00:12:46.260Anita Anand said, oh, we have it, but we don't have it to spare.
00:12:49.500Plus, we don't want to be seen to be deploying the military to these places.
00:12:53.960And the reason Alberta went hat in hand to the federal government looking for access to that equipment was because they couldn't get tow trucks to come from basically the entire northwestern part of the continent.
00:13:08.480Nobody wanted to get involved or they were supportive of the convoy blockade at Coutts.
00:13:13.520Now, all that is to say, none of it was necessary or would be the catalyst for invoking the Emergencies Act because Alberta figured out pretty darn fast that the feds weren't going to help them.
00:13:25.940So they just went and bought their own tow equipment.
00:13:28.300And in fact, the convoy blockade at Coutts resolved before they even really needed to use it.
00:13:34.760I think they needed to move three pieces of equipment that were sort of left behind there.
00:13:39.640I don't know if they ran out of diesel or what.
00:13:42.140But for me as an Albertan watching this, I'm thinking these snakes wanted to use a tank to intimidate peaceful protesters in the nation's capital.
00:13:54.400And they couldn't even let Alberta use any of the CAF heavy haul equipment here in Alberta to dissipate the Coutts blockade.
00:14:04.000So I guess to answer your question, who's the joke or who's the punchline in this joke?
00:15:01.340But having said that, looking back at the last four days, including today, is there anything else that stood out as a jaw-dropping moment aside from send in the tanks to deal with the hot tubs and bouncy castles?
00:15:18.220Like I said, it was snake week down at the Public Order Emergency Commission.
00:15:24.200We had Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who is the forward face of invoking the Emergencies Act.
00:15:40.320But her notes, she said, give banks a list of mischief makers.
00:15:47.240So for a bunch of people who cry about fascism, this is actual fascism, by the way.
00:15:52.540Using the banks and the corporate structures to enforce the will of the government on political opponents, that sounds a lot like fascism.
00:16:00.820And then, taking a page from former Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Freeland's notes also indicated that there was a government desire to label the peaceful convoy as actual terrorists.
00:16:13.540Like, label them akin to, well, I was going to say the IRGC, but that's not a thing.
00:16:23.700That was on the list of things that she wanted to do.
00:16:26.780Which ultimately, I guess, explains the counter-terrorism law they eventually invoked on them.
00:16:31.380And Freeland's notes, this was a real sort of, the lawyer sort of breezed through this, but I would have stopped and lingered on this for quite some time because that little lying gnome, Omar Al-Jabra, yesterday, he kept saying, oh, but 90% of the truckers are vaccinated.
00:16:55.420So, this really wasn't an issue when we imposed the cross-border vaccine mandate.
00:17:01.380I guess, you know, you can just stomp all over the rights of 10% of the people, I guess.
00:17:06.320According to Omar Al-Jabra, individual rights are, I guess, for collective groups and not for individuals.
00:17:16.740So, Freeland's notes say that they knew it was more like 30 to 50% of the truckers that were unvaccinated.
00:17:27.640So, they knew that this one-cross-border vaccine mandate had the potential to hit one in two truckers that go across the border in this country.
00:17:36.900And, again, from Freeland's notes, the CEO of Stelco, that's the steel company, Alan Kestenbaum, he told her to back off of this vaccine mandate because it's unscientific and doesn't even work.
00:17:51.540And I forgot until just now that I should check to see if Stelco ever had a vaccine mandate of its own.
00:17:57.320Was he telling the government to back off of a vaccine mandate while imposing his own on his workers?
00:18:02.580I'm not sure, but he is right that it was unscientific and didn't work.
00:18:06.280And when that didn't work, he tried to appeal to her political self-preservation side.
00:18:12.320He told her that, look, Christia, honey baby doll face, if you continue to do this, it's actually going to inflame opposition against you.
00:18:22.180He said it could create a resurgence of the right wing the way we see in the United States.
00:18:28.260And I'm not sure if it created a resurgence of the right wing, but it sure did help convince a bunch of people that the Liberal Party left them behind, didn't it?
00:19:04.660Sheila, let's not forget the reason for the Freedom Convoy.
00:19:09.680We're looking at people that lost their jobs, their livelihoods, their businesses, their houses because of the COVID lockdowns and they were rendered destitute.
00:19:35.220Yes, and moreover to Freeland's notes, she was willing to put one in two cross-border truckers potentially out of work.
00:19:43.760So to hear this woman prattle on and shake her head about economic carnage, she was willing to inflict it on people because they were not doing what the government wanted them to do.
00:19:57.140And that was to stick an ineffective medicine in their arm against their will.
00:20:04.260And by the way, Sheila, since when have the Justin Trudeau liberals been all that hard on terrorists?
00:20:11.100They call people doing a peaceful protest on Wellington Street.
00:20:14.820They want to label them as terrorists.
00:20:16.520But we have our own bona fide terrorists, our own homegrown al-Qaeda terrorist, Omar Khadar, who was cut a check in 2016 for 10 and a half million bucks, essentially for hurt feelings.
00:20:36.080You see, the liberals only care about terrorism if it is, let's say, a men's drinking club like the Proud Boys or, you know, or convoy protesters who disagree with the government's intrusion into their lives after they've had enough after two and a half years.
00:20:56.240But the liberals will, of course, return money to U.N. agencies that are credibly accused of funneling money to Palestinian terrorists who, you know, kidnap or kidnap, you know, Jewish kids at a bus stop or set incendiary explosive devices at a bus stop.
00:21:21.900But if you incidentally happen to be a boisterous conservative part of the largest human rights movement this country has ever seen and likely the most effective opposition Justin Trudeau has ever experienced in his seven idiotic years at the helm of this country, terrorist.
00:22:40.580And, the reason I don't feel that is the inability of Justice Rouleau to rule on motions being brought forward by the convoy lawyers in a reasonable amount of time.
00:22:56.500He should not have left certain rulings until midweek of the last week.
00:23:00.880I was in the commission two days this week.
00:23:04.260And so, I saw this happening in real time.
00:23:08.840The federal government is dumping hundreds, sometimes thousands of pages on these lawyers just hours and sometimes minutes before the government witness is set to speak.
00:23:23.640So, how do you craft questions on evidence you just received that you haven't even read yet?
00:23:33.060For example, with Bill Blair, the government was giving them documents while Bill Blair was testifying.
00:23:39.980How do you ask him about evidence that you just got while he's currently on the stand and you only have five minutes to ask?
00:23:48.920And, the convoy lawyers were complaining about this, saying this is crazy and also the federal government is redacting things they shouldn't be redacting.
00:23:57.900They're redacting things for cabinet confidentiality when they are not communications between two cabinet ministers.
00:32:23.800What did this doctor mean by that remark to begin with?
00:32:28.480And with more on this baffling puzzle, here is Tamara Ugolini, who flew all the way to Berlin, along with some other rebels, to try to get some answers to questions that the mainstream media dares not ask.
00:33:01.360But anyways, what do you think he meant by that bizarre remark?
00:33:07.440Well, you know, I've been questioning it since the onset, whether this was the whole COVID response was being driven by evidence-based science or political science.
00:33:18.240And so this just further confirms the fact that it was political science at play, nothing that was previously established.
00:33:24.920You know, there was a complete disregard of previously very well-established pandemic response plans that we had in place, especially here in Canada and each province and territory on its own as well.
00:33:36.140And so this really reinforces the fact that the response plans were based on politics and polling rather than any sort of evidence-based medicine or evidence-based science.
00:33:49.300And Tamara, do you think you caught him in a moment in which he wasn't guarded with his comments?
00:33:58.580In other words, if you had sat down in a studio interview with the lights on and the microphone right out there, would he have said something like that or would he be much more guarded with his words?
00:34:10.880Well, you know, a part that I left out of that interview was that we conducted these interviews, for lack of a better word, undercover.
00:34:20.620And so unbeknownst to the attendees, they were being recorded, which is why we had to blur the faces, because there are some different laws in Germany that we need to be mindful of when we're releasing this footage,
00:34:34.260which is another reason why it's taken this long to get some of it out, because we've had careful review on most of the videos and interviews that were conducted.
00:34:43.500But certainly this was an off-the-cuff, casual conversation with an ICU doctor in Germany who had obviously been on the front lines throughout the unfolding of the COVID pandemic.
00:34:55.740And I refer to it as a pandemic because of the way that the response was handled, not necessarily because of the virus itself.
00:35:03.340But definitely this was an unguarded, very casual conversation where there's more free thought and free expression, I think, than anything that were to be more scheduled and formal indeed.
00:35:18.840Yeah, and I find you really get the gold in these unguarded, unrehearsed moments.
00:35:25.160It was like, oh my goodness, Tamara, I can't remember her name, but before Dr. Keir Moore took over, one of the top medical health necromancers, as our colleague Sheila Gunn-Reed likes to call them.
00:35:38.140Remember she had that line more than a year ago where she said, it was words to the effect of, they give me these papers and tell me what to say.
00:35:47.100And I still have that question because I don't think it's ever been asked, who is they?
00:35:54.440You know, I mean, you alluded to evidence-based science versus political science.
00:36:00.820We forgot about door number three, weird science.
00:36:03.820But when she says they, was she talking about her political masters?
00:36:11.720Yeah, I think that was Barbara Yaffe, if I remember correctly.
00:36:14.940And also most recently, Keir Moore had his teleprompter freeze when he was making this, the new recommendation on masking.
00:36:22.880You can find, I clipped it and posted it to my Twitter.
00:36:25.200So you can find that clip there where his teleprompter actually froze.
00:36:28.560And he, instead of just kind of continuing on with what he was talking about, he just says, oh, my script, my computer has frozen and let's just give it a moment here.
00:36:40.340And then, you know, it recalibrates or it's fixed, whatever.
00:36:43.300RSV, influenza and other respiratory infections.
00:36:47.860Sorry, the teleprompter stopped working.
00:36:53.720And so it lends the question also who's writing his scripts, because if it's not him, then you would think if it were him, then he could continue to talk about what he's saying, you know, with with some off the cuff and off the cusp thoughts because he wrote his own script.
00:37:11.900But if it's not him writing the scripts, then, of course, he needs to stop and wait for the teleprompter to resume so that he knows what to say.
00:37:18.860You know, that's a brilliant observation, Tamara.
00:37:21.700I never thought of it in that context.
00:37:23.640But then again, it seems that Dr. Moore, he doesn't believe what he's saying or he doesn't believe what he's reading.
00:37:32.060He doesn't believe what the people who give him the script are saying.
00:37:36.520And I say that because, as you know, going back a week Monday, he said he strongly urged all all people to wear masks in an indoor setting.
00:37:46.960And then less than 72 hours after issuing that recommendation, not a mandate, not yet, at least there he is hobnobbing at a Toronto Life Party with the beautiful people.
00:38:03.480It's crammed to the rafters and there's Dr. Moore, you know, kibitzing around maskless.
00:38:11.140And to me, Tamara, it was so blamed, I thought, that it was almost like giving the people of Ontario middle finger.
00:38:19.760Just three days ago, you said you strongly recommend this and it's for the kids, of course, just like the teachers say when they go out on strike.
00:38:27.940And yet here you are completely defying your own recommendation.
00:38:35.680Yeah, classic more mingling maskless, I think, is what I titled that right up when I when I discovered that he was at the Toronto Life event because they were celebrating their top.
00:38:45.480I believe it was top 50 influential Torontonians and, of course, Moore made the list for his brilliant COVID response.
00:38:53.500And so certainly throughout the pandemic pandemonium, we saw that Moore was certainly an influential member of things like coercive vaccine passports and these indiscriminate mask mandates.
00:39:05.420I think he was ranked number 12 on their 50 most influential list.
00:39:09.780And, you know, on one hand, I appreciate that Moore was out mingling maskless because it shows that he's finally following the science and making, you know, a statement because actions speak louder than words, really, in my opinion.
00:39:24.280And so his actions were speaking that he didn't didn't believe in the words he was was speaking, which the craziest recommendation out of that press release, in my opinion, was when he told parents if they were sniffly, they should mask in their home around their toddler.
00:39:41.880And then to see him out with hundreds of people at a socialite event just obviously grossly counteracted everything that he said in that press release.
00:39:51.920So I think that on one hand, it's a good thing to see him out there actually following the science that masks are useless and ineffective and we don't need them anymore and arguably never did.
00:40:03.020And on the other hand, it just speaks to more of the hypocrisy of the bureaucracy, which is an angle I take so often when I'm covering these public health bureaucrats and government officials.
00:40:15.120A hundred percent. And I would say if this man had integrity, Tamara, he would resign.
00:40:23.400There's no way to come up with a bunch of weasel words to somehow suggest that, no, that was OK for him to be in that party when this was exactly the kind of thing he was recommending Ontarians all mask up about.
00:40:39.400And for that matter, I mean, even as political masters the next day on Tuesday, Tamara, including Premier Ford, most of the MPPs weren't even wearing a mask either.
00:40:49.120And to me, that means they simply don't believe in this BS.
00:40:54.640They don't believe that if I walk into an indoor setting without a mask, I'm going to get the COVID cooties and get very sick.
00:41:01.160So really, what should the rest of us believe?
00:41:07.720Looking back at that World Health Summit in retrospect, what were some of the takeaways you came away with from Berlin?
00:41:20.820What were some of the things that stood out, good or bad, given your attendance there?
00:41:26.800Yeah, well, the main thing was and it's highlighted throughout the three different clips I've published thus far with that ICU doctor.
00:41:33.580So I broke them down into three separate videos to make it a little bit easier for the viewer to digest.
00:41:38.420Otherwise, it would have been such a long and drawn out video.
00:41:40.680And the main takeaway from me, which you can find in those videos, is that the the public health or sorry, the medical professionals knew that this response would subject the general population to harm.
00:41:57.920They knew that indiscriminate mask mandates were a bad idea from the start.
00:42:03.320They knew that lockdowns were going to cause harm to the population at large, and they did not back them.
00:42:11.380But they were too scared out of fear of reprimand to come forward and speak those words to their colleagues or to their higher ups.
00:42:20.360And so they put their heads down and continue to going about their business to, I guess, preserve their paycheck.
00:42:27.860Because as we saw, even especially here in Canada, any doctors that came out as dissidents were slandered, smeared, ridiculed, investigated, lost their licenses to practice, were kicked out of their their jobs, their locations.
00:42:44.120Um, and so that really set a precedent for anyone who dared to speak out against the narrative.
00:42:51.180But now we're seeing and we saw there, uh, undercover just having casual conversations that many people knew the damages that would be caused and recognize them now.
00:43:02.580But no one will speak up or out about it.
00:43:06.780And that's the most concerning thing to me.
00:43:08.760And again, you can watch the other clips that I have since published with this particular ICU doctor.
00:43:14.420And he even notes that these conversations and these conferences that were being held at the World Health Summit are fluffy surface scratchers.
00:43:23.460They don't dig deep into any of the real failures of the pandemic response and how to correct or adjust for those in the future.
00:43:30.700And then we also see that the WHO, by vote of its member states, is being strengthened.
00:43:36.300So this is really concerning heading into the future.
00:43:40.920And as they discuss, you know, future pandemics and other global health threats and even this idea of having global health.
00:43:47.700So we really need to be mindful and empower individual physicians and medical professionals to speak out and denounce these collectivist ideals as they're being discussed without this fear of reprimand.
00:44:03.020And so to really protect whistleblowers, I think, is going to be an important step moving forward.

00:51:39.720You know, many of us know Trudeau and his band of lying fools are working hand-in-hand with the Chinese.
00:51:46.820Well, indeed, Sabre, look at the recent news in which there were allegedly 11 liberal candidates in the 2019 federal election receiving funding from the Chinese government.
00:52:01.260This is apparently news to Prime Minister Blackface McGroper, by the way, even though CESIS claims the PM was briefed on this.
00:52:10.300Geez, maybe Justin, kind of like Roger Clemens, is misremembering certain details.
00:52:22.400Well, you know, Dan, I think there is some proverbial proof in the pudding regarding your statement.
00:52:28.120It was in 2013, I believe, that Trudeau openly admitted his admiration for the basic dictatorship of China when it comes to, you know, getting things done.
00:52:37.880And since our PM is so smitten by this communist regime, why would he be offended if commie cops were running around in Canada doing God knows what?
00:52:49.520What a disgrace and what a dereliction of duty.
