Tonight, CBC's president repeatedly threatened Twitter, demanding that they censor Canadians.
00:00:07.080
We've got their internal documents. It's May 3rd, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:17.320
Today is World Press Freedom Day, which means it's the day that all the world's censors gaslight you
00:00:31.980
to pretend that they actually care about your freedom of speech.
00:00:35.360
Just last week, Justin Trudeau ran through a massive internet censorship bill called C-11.
00:00:40.540
Just today, Trudeau's CRTC regulator announced that it will be drafting and reviewing ethics guidelines for newsrooms across Canada.
00:00:50.780
Politicians will now go into independent news organizations and tell them how to do journalism.
00:00:59.880
But I have big news for you today, an exclusive scoop for Rebel News.
00:01:04.460
And it has to do with the CBC state broadcaster.
00:01:07.360
As you know, Elon Musk briefly put a warning label on the CBC's Twitter account,
00:01:13.420
calling them a government-funded news agency, which is true.
00:01:19.820
It's not just government-funded, it's president.
00:01:23.400
An entire board of directors is chosen by the government.
00:01:27.020
You just don't get more government-y than the CBC.
00:01:33.160
And Elon Musk then changed the label to partly government-funded.
00:01:41.420
I think Elon Musk should reconsider that label based on what I'm about to show you.
00:01:46.120
Because you see, on this World Press Freedom Day,
00:01:48.640
I've got documents to show that senior CBC executives,
00:01:55.920
They engaged in an ongoing campaign to pressure Twitter to censor people the CBC didn't like.
00:02:06.220
who just happen to be the same people Justin Trudeau doesn't approve of.
00:02:16.400
that if Twitter doesn't ban the people the CBC wants banned,
00:02:19.980
And the CBC might stop doing business with Twitter,
00:02:24.300
And incredibly, the CBC threatens Twitter obliquely,
00:02:28.760
implying that they have a direct line to Trudeau's government.
00:02:37.600
Yeah, I'd say that's pretty much a state broadcaster
00:02:44.120
You can find the entire document on our website, rebelnews.com.
00:02:48.160
By the way, we are appealing the pages that they have hidden from us.
00:02:53.620
They sent us 14 pages, but five of them were completely blanked out.
00:02:58.160
Imagine the embarrassing things they didn't want to show us,
00:03:11.980
And I should mention that Elon Musk owned and bought Twitter after all these letters.
00:03:20.720
So this is how they were trying to pressure even the pre-Elon Musk company.
00:03:27.300
So May 6th, 2021, a confidential letter written to Paul Burns,
00:03:34.680
I am writing to you about an issue affecting the women and men
00:03:41.300
as well as journalists working in Canada and around the world
00:03:44.140
who are increasingly targeted for harassment and abuse on your platform.
00:03:48.980
In particular, the daily barrage of online misogyny,
00:03:52.320
including threats of physical attack against women,
00:03:54.940
people of color, and their families, is toxic and terrifying.
00:03:59.900
This is from Catherine Tate, the president of the CBC.
00:04:02.460
Unacceptable abuse on social media platforms has been a growing problem
00:04:07.640
for members of the media, as well as for politicians and even medical professionals.
00:04:12.900
A 2018 Troll Patrol report by Amnesty International found that female journalists
00:04:17.920
and politicians are targeted for harassment or abuse on social media
00:04:21.440
roughly every 30 seconds, and that women of color experience even higher levels of abuse.
00:04:26.420
No working journalist today can afford to ignore the power of social media,
00:04:29.220
whether she's using it to amplify her work or engage with the audience.
00:04:33.040
Forced silence through relentless and vicious intimidation cannot be an option.
00:04:47.340
The head of the CBC is just running a campaign.
00:04:50.980
Is that her job, to get other companies to see the world the way she does?
00:04:58.280
And it just happens to be identical to Justin Trudeau's campaign at the same time?
00:05:05.120
Your infringement process is haphazard and inconsistent.
00:05:13.460
and too rarely does your company actually act to take down harassing material.
00:05:24.620
The CBC, a government agency that sometimes delays access to information requests
00:05:29.200
by years, by years, they're complaining that Twitter sometimes takes days to get back to them.
00:05:38.140
As you are no doubt aware, Canada's Minister of Heritage will be tabling new legislation
00:05:51.080
Why are you promoting what the Minister of Heritage is doing?
00:05:55.520
That, by the way, was Bill C-36, a law that would fine people up to $20,000 for any statement
00:06:03.600
they made on social media, even if they made those statements as a kid.
00:06:10.840
I am asking to meet with you so that we can agree on a clear, effective, and rapid process
00:06:16.380
for removing hateful material targeting journalists when it appears on your platform.
00:06:20.500
This will be an important step in improving the online world for our democracy, for all
00:06:46.220
The CBC said the truckers were organized by Vladimir Putin.
00:06:55.580
You can ban threats of violence or things like that.
00:07:00.220
And of course, the criminal code applies everywhere, including on Twitter.
00:07:02.640
Why was Catherine Tate, apropos of nothing, promoting a government censorship agenda?
00:07:09.740
Isn't her job to be president and CEO of CBC Radio Canada?
00:07:16.260
Since when does the president of the CBC tell other companies, private companies, what to do?
00:07:24.420
I mean, shouldn't the CBC get its own act together, run its own?
00:07:27.960
Why is the CBC pressuring other companies to take a certain censorship line?
00:07:41.880
It's written to Stephanie King, vice president and deputy general counsel of Twitter in San Francisco.
00:07:47.860
And the subject line is tweet containing hate speech.
00:07:52.320
And what's weird is they've blacked out who this letter is from.
00:07:59.660
I am blank to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
00:08:06.360
We write concerning a series of tweets that was published on May 18th, 2021.
00:08:14.840
We consider the tweets to be dangerous hate speech in violation of Twitter's rules and policies.
00:08:19.600
We have filed numerous takedown requests since the tweets were published to no avail.
00:08:29.560
A real journalist would probably be more sympathetic to free speech, but you're government journalists.
00:08:37.760
An individual with the Twitter handle blank published a series of tweets in which he claims
00:08:43.500
is CBC News has banned all content that is sympathetic to Palestinians.
00:09:05.800
He expresses his desire that CBC be prevented from going on air unless its management backs down.
00:09:13.620
Now, I don't think I would like this Twitterer, as he sounds very, I might even say he is anti-Semitic by some of the other details in the letter.
00:09:24.040
And the fact that this guy doesn't want the CBC to have its say, well, this very letter to Twitter is the CBC trying to silence that guy.
00:09:34.100
You have two illiberal forces saying, you shut up.
00:09:38.900
What is CBC doing telling Twitter to ban its critics?
00:09:46.800
But since when does the CBC write lengthy letters to the general counsel of Twitter telling them to silence their critics?
00:09:54.620
We are of the view that these tweets are clearly designed to arouse anti-Jewish animus through their use of highly charged anti-Semitic language, e.g.
00:10:03.180
Jewish white supremacists, Zionist censors, supporters of Israeli apartheid, and the imperialist colony.
00:10:11.840
Look, I don't like those phrases either because I'm Jewish myself.
00:10:20.720
Or actually, I think they're more just words I would disagree with.
00:10:24.040
Um, since when is the CBC in the business of just silencing people who are wrong or have opinions they don't like?
00:10:35.680
It was copied to Vijaya Gaddy, who is the head of legal policy and trust.
00:10:40.800
Copied to Michelle Austin, who is the head of public policy for Twitter in Canada.
00:10:44.620
And Paul Burns, the fellow who received the first letter.
00:10:47.960
And, of course, Cam Gordon, the head of communications for Twitter in Canada.
00:10:52.480
Oh, by the way, copied to Catherine Tate of the CBC also.
00:10:55.000
So that's two letters in short order telling Twitter to silence people they don't like.
00:11:09.840
On May 26th, we wrote to you about a series of tweets published on your platform on May 18th, which we consider to be dangerous.
00:11:17.340
Sorry, it's not dangerous to criticize Israel and call it apartheid.
00:11:30.520
It's not dangerous in violation of Twitter's own rules and policies.
00:11:36.120
You must be aware by now of the degree to which your platform continues to weaponize the online harassment and abuse of journalists and media hosts, particularly women and those from racialized communities.
00:11:49.580
It attacks trusted news sources and thus undermines reasoned discourse, democracy, and the health of our societies.
00:11:57.320
Your lack of attention on this problem is extremely troubling.
00:12:00.600
It also gives credence to those in this country who believe that legislation is necessary in order to ensure that Twitter enforces its own guidelines and abides by domestic laws and regulations.
00:12:17.360
By the way, I thought that they were worried about white supremacists and now they're saying this targets racialized minorities.
00:12:29.340
There are some people on Twitter who are anti-Israel and call it an apartheid country.
00:12:33.880
I happen to know it's not an apartheid country and we can have an argument about this.
00:12:37.560
Since when is the CBC in the business of demanding that Twitter silence them and saying those are dangerous views?
00:12:45.820
That's almost exactly the same language Justin Trudeau used to talk about critics of his vaccine policy.
00:12:54.660
CBC really is a state broadcaster, aren't they?
00:12:59.940
We expect Twitter to act promptly when it becomes aware of incidents of abuse of journalists facilitated by Twitter.
00:13:08.160
In this regard, we would like to establish a more direct and effective protocol to ensure that this will be the case in the future.
00:13:14.180
Yeah, they've heard about how the FBI and the CIA had a direct contact with Twitter so they could directly censor things.
00:13:22.460
The CBC wanted to be able to directly censor things on Twitter.
00:13:29.700
We will raise this and other procedures in a meeting scheduled soon with the leadership of Twitter Canada.
00:13:36.100
Signed, Claude Gallupo, Executive Vice President.
00:13:41.580
Okay, well now it looks like the meeting had happened because now we're on the June 23rd letter to no one less than the CEO, Jack Dorsey.
00:13:50.760
So this is the CBC coming back at it again and again and again.
00:13:56.780
It's almost like they were taking orders from Trudeau himself.
00:14:00.220
Let me read excerpts from this so you can see the whole thing on our website, rebelnews.com.
00:14:04.080
Mr. Dorsey, as President and CEO of Canada's public broadcaster, I am writing to request a meeting with you to determine how we will ensure that Twitter effectively acts in removing offensive material from its platform.
00:14:19.060
Can you imagine if the shoe is on the other foot, if Jack Dorsey said, dear CBC, I would like an immediate meeting with you to talk about how we can remove offensive things on your platform.
00:14:28.720
Could you imagine how CBC would squawk about that?
00:14:32.140
Here's the CBC demanding that Twitter remove offensive things.
00:14:42.320
Since when does the CBC tell anyone what they can or can't say?
00:14:45.720
Let me this is this next part is very interesting.
00:14:48.920
On June 10th, I met with Michelle Austin and Cam Gordon, your representatives here in Canada.
00:14:55.300
To be honest, I found our meeting unsatisfactory.
00:14:59.740
We were told that our case had been reviewed and found not to be in contravention of Twitter's policies.
00:15:06.920
When we asked how we could appeal this decision, we were told to feel free to pursue whatever action we consider appropriate.
00:15:16.460
Given our business relationship with your company, I found this response not only unhelpful, but quite frankly, rude.
00:15:27.000
We spend thousands of dollars on advertising on Twitter.
00:15:31.200
You better make this right or we will boycott you.
00:15:37.660
I recall your testimony to Congress in 2018 where you committed to protecting your platform from disinformation and to, quote, encourage more healthy debate, conversations and critical thinking on the platform.
00:15:48.760
That commitment is at odds with Twitter's failure to act when a provider of trusted news, in this case, CBC Radio Canada, is unable to get action on offending or misleading content.
00:16:12.200
The CBC is literally trying to censor things that they declare to be misinformation.
00:16:19.020
Since when is the CBC in charge of censoring other media?
00:16:27.400
They're just saying things that they deem to be misinformation.
00:16:30.740
So the CBC not only is a propaganda organ itself, they want Twitter to follow their instructions.
00:16:38.060
I would hope you would share our concern about the degree to which your platform weaponizes the harassment and abuse of journalists and hosts, particularly women and those from racialized communities.
00:16:50.560
As you know, this is a global issue when all our media colleagues, especially in public broadcasting, are facing.
00:17:01.640
Stop people saying mean things about our left-wing bias.
00:17:10.660
Here is the CBC state broadcaster bearing its fangs.
00:17:14.400
We have been sharing our mounting concerns with the Canadian government, which is proposing legislation to address online hate.
00:17:28.020
There is significant public support for such legislation.
00:17:32.780
As head of a media organization which values freedom of speech and of the press, I would prefer that Twitter take meaningful action on its own to address this problem.
00:17:50.560
You know, we were talking to the government the other day and, whoo, boy, let me just put it this way.
00:17:55.480
It would be better if you fixed this problem voluntarily now than if my friends in government fixed it.
00:18:08.340
I say again, all of this was a year before Elon Musk bought Twitter.
00:18:15.520
I say again, that these access to information documents, which were exclusively given to us, they're still hiding five of the 14 pages.
00:18:25.480
The CBC was making threats to other companies to censor Canadians.
00:18:34.360
They were making political threats on behalf of Trudeau.
00:18:39.580
Will Trudeau admit that or will he disavow that?
00:18:44.320
Was Catherine Tate just talking tough or did she really say to Trudeau, I'll help you get Twitter.
00:18:50.800
And if they don't bow the knee to me, you come in with the heavy stuff.
00:18:55.480
Catherine Tate, the boss of CBC, is indistinguishable from Trudeau in terms of political policy.
00:19:03.980
Her letters could have and maybe even were written by Trudeau's office.
00:19:08.320
And everything I've showed you today is what they put in writing.
00:19:13.820
Imagine what they would say in phone calls or meetings.
00:19:20.200
Imagine the coordination behind the scenes with Trudeau.
00:19:23.320
She already admitted that they've been consulting with the government on what to do about Twitter.
00:19:27.880
And imagine what they've already got away with, with pro-censorship companies like YouTube and Facebook.
00:19:40.500
She is a Trudeau liberal operative masquerading as a journalist.
00:19:46.320
She's literally the personification of fake news.
00:20:11.980
I'm talking about the things that let us go from day to day.
00:20:16.240
If you have cheap, clean fuel, like natural gas, for example, you can do anything.
00:20:24.180
And food, well, that's the stuff of life, literally.
00:20:27.920
And so it's interesting over the last two years in particular, in part since Joe Biden took office,
00:20:34.360
but I think in general, to see the prices of food and of energy climb.
00:20:41.140
But it almost seems as if that is a deliberate plan, and that's what's so baffling.
00:20:47.620
We've seen that in Canada before, as Justin Trudeau has tried to transition off the oil sands
00:20:54.520
and even block liquid natural gas exports to Europe, despite the demands of Germany and Japan
00:21:01.440
to ask us to sell our liquefied natural gas to them.
00:21:05.560
It seems as if Justin Trudeau actually wants the price of energy to be expensive, to have energy poverty.
00:21:14.000
And an explanation for this is ideological extremism, but also to force people to do what Stefan Dian called the carbon shift.
00:21:22.460
If using fossil fuel energy is difficult and expensive, maybe people will grudgingly use green energy schemes that simply can't compete.
00:21:32.380
And now we're seeing the same thing with food, just like there's been a war on carbon for the last generation.
00:21:39.120
Now we see a bizarre war on nitrogen in the form of fertilizers, telling farmers they can no longer fertilize.
00:21:46.320
The Netherlands, which is the second largest food exporter in the world, shocking for a country that small size,
00:21:54.960
They're going to drive up the cost of food, just like they've driven up the cost of fuel.
00:22:06.120
And so I see all these things coming together today on one of my favorite websites.
00:22:11.520
We go to climatedepot.com and we've been friends with their founder, Mark Morano, for more than a decade.
00:22:16.700
And we usually go to him to talk about things involving the theory of man-made global warming.
00:22:23.360
He always attends the UN Global Warming Conference.
00:22:26.040
So it was interesting to me to see this huge headline on climatedepot.com today.
00:22:32.400
Eating insects may offer environmental benefits.
00:22:36.960
Brits would be told to eat bugs under bonkers green plans by civil servants.
00:22:48.260
But at the same day, I see a story in the Wall Street Journal.
00:22:52.460
Switzerland wants children to eat less chocolate, more insects.
00:22:59.380
Companies pitch bugs to young consumers at schools.
00:23:07.200
I was recently in Switzerland when I was there to cover Davos, and they love their chocolate.
00:23:12.280
They're the world's foremost chocolatiers, though the Belgians would quarrel with that.
00:23:18.060
Joining us now right now is the boss of climatedepot.com to help us make sense of all of this.
00:23:35.100
There's also a war on private car ownership and gas-powered cars.
00:23:42.240
If you know who the players are, and you, of course, do know.
00:23:44.760
But, I mean, if you look at this in the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, the World
00:23:49.080
Health Organization, players like Bill Gates, George Soros, it's a very simple vision.
00:23:53.900
Their stated public goal, and I can go through dozens of examples on everything, where they
00:23:59.160
actually say higher food prices are good to get people to eat.
00:24:02.940
Higher energy prices are good for the green agenda.
00:24:05.160
But their goal is to intentionally collapse our energy system to create a transition to
00:24:11.160
what they're seeking, solar, wind, green energy, and limited resources.
00:24:15.040
Their intention is to collapse our transportation system, banning of gas-powered cars.
00:24:21.200
And that goes actually pretty deep, because you have the World Bank telling the automakers
00:24:25.760
they're not going to be funding for gas-powered cars.
00:24:28.400
You have corporate banks not going to give out car loans.
00:24:31.800
You have now cities and towns in Colorado, California, voting for no new gas stations,
00:24:36.020
which will, even if you own a gas-powered car, you're going to start facing gas shortages.
00:24:40.140
And then, of course, they're trying to collapse our current agriculture and food system.
00:24:45.300
And they're doing that in so many different ways, but all under the umbrella, pretty much,
00:24:51.420
And the net zero agenda, as you alluded to, Ezra, deals with the Netherlands as the first
00:24:56.580
test case, where the idea is you can't have nitrogen, because nitrogen creates nitrous oxide.
00:25:07.380
They're only going to affect the small, family-run, traditional farms, up to 11,000 in the Netherlands,
00:25:14.520
not the big agribusiness, corporate Chinese, Bill Gates, mega-giant firms that run them.
00:25:24.960
And if you relate that back to COVID, who could afford the lockdown mandates that went on for
00:25:30.940
Big corporations and retail chains, not the small mom-and-pops.
00:25:36.140
They are collapsing food, energy, and transportation to boot our free speech as well, and throw
00:25:43.620
in our financial system as well, devaluing our currency.
00:25:47.080
So they're doing all of this intentionally, and it's to create a new world order slash great
00:26:01.380
But I know for a fact each element you've described is there.
00:26:04.940
I mean, here's a famous video that I always tweet on Twitter.
00:26:09.200
It's Bill Gates coming up with a mathematical formula.
00:26:12.420
And he says, we absolutely have to reduce the number of humans in the world.
00:26:22.940
Imagine putting this guy in charge of the world's vaccines, for example.
00:26:27.200
It's an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet.
00:26:31.220
And somehow we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero.
00:26:39.440
It's only various economic changes that have even flattened it at all.
00:26:43.820
So we have to go from rapidly rising to falling and falling all the way to zero.
00:26:49.400
This equation has four factors, a little bit of multiplication.
00:26:53.540
So you've got a thing on the left, CO2, that you want to get to zero.
00:26:57.160
And that's going to be based on the number of people, the services each person's using on average,
00:27:04.120
the energy on average for each service, and the CO2 being put out per unit of energy.
00:27:11.160
So let's look at each one of these and see how we can get this down to zero.
00:27:16.600
Probably one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero.
00:27:32.040
Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services,
00:27:39.200
we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.
00:27:46.260
So you said a lot of astonishing things there, but I just happen to know that everything you said,
00:27:51.200
I mean, the craziest thing, and I literally dry heave whenever I think about it.
00:27:55.960
Here's Bill Gates, who's buying up all the farmland in America.
00:27:58.940
I think he's now the largest farmland owner in America.
00:28:00.860
Here he is promoting the drinking of what he calls poop water.
00:28:06.240
Over 2.5 billion people have no access to safe sanitation.
00:28:11.120
We asked brilliant engineers to help us solve this problem.
00:28:14.400
And one of those engineers actually has proposed a solution where the waste is valuable.
00:28:19.180
The omniprocessor turns sewer sludge, which is kind of nasty, into clean drinking water, electricity, and ash that is pathogen-free.
00:28:32.180
It goes up this conveyor belt, is fed into these large tubes we call the dryer.
00:28:39.040
And in the boiling process, we separate the water vapor from the solids.
00:28:44.460
The solids are now dry, and we can feed them into the fire.
00:28:47.660
Once we have this very hot fire, we can make high-pressure, high-temperature steam.
00:28:52.440
And we take that steam, and we send it to a steam engine.
00:28:55.500
And the steam engine drives a generator that makes electricity that we use for the processor,
00:29:01.000
and also excess electricity that can be delivered back to the community.
00:29:04.440
The water vapor that's created in the boiling process is run through a cleaning system
00:29:09.120
until we have the cleanest, purest water you can possibly imagine.
00:29:12.700
I am very impressed with this solution we're seeing here.
00:29:19.240
It will grow to every corner of the earth that needs it because it makes money every day.
00:29:25.500
I cannot mention that without literally gagging.
00:29:33.240
But there is something so repulsive about that.
00:29:41.820
Well, bugs, this has been going on now for decades.
00:29:46.240
Back when I worked in the United States Senate Environment Committee,
00:29:49.640
they issued a report in 2007 in the United Nations saying that cow emissions, i.e. methane,
00:29:54.860
were more damaging to the earth than the entire transportation sector, planes, trains, automobiles combined.
00:30:01.460
So they've had cows and meat eating in their target for decades.
00:30:05.660
We've had U.K. climate advisors say that we want to make meat rare and expensive.
00:30:11.140
We've had the former U.N. climate chief, Christina Figuere,
00:30:13.700
say we wanted to basically turn meat eaters the way we used to do smokers
00:30:17.120
in their own small, uncomfortable section in restaurants.
00:30:21.080
Then they've come out with even more reports basically calling for an end to meat eating in the industrialized West.
00:30:29.380
What Bill Gates, as you mentioned, stated goal is to get Europe, United States, New Zealand, Australia, Canada,
00:30:35.400
and all Western nations off of eating livestock-grown animal meat.
00:30:39.800
His stated goal is to have us eat synthetic, fake meat grown from stem cells from a cow or a lamb or sheep
00:30:47.580
and put into a steel vat in a laboratory and then add all sorts of additives, antibiotics thrown in,
00:30:58.500
You then print it up on a 3-D printer, several kilograms an hour,
00:31:08.000
It's derived from the animal, so it's not a veggie burger.
00:31:13.640
And he'll have huge sway in agricultural policy to make that happen.
00:31:17.560
Yeah, I've seen images of that 3-D printer printing lab-grown meat.
00:31:25.460
I just don't have the stomach to even talk about this, let alone to eat it.
00:31:29.420
You know, I can't help but juxtapose this with an image from China.
00:31:37.640
Two urban skyscrapers, like in the city, skyscrapers, well, not quite skyscrapers,
00:31:44.260
multi-story buildings, pig farms, in the city, in towers, like story after story after story.
00:31:51.920
I can only imagine the smell of that neighborhood.
00:31:58.760
That's a diabolical kind of farming to begin with, I think.
00:32:04.540
China is going ahead with all the coal energy it wants.
00:32:13.900
It's only the luxurious, decadent West and people like Soros and Gates that are pushing bugs.
00:32:18.760
I don't think George Soros has ever had a bug in his life.
00:32:23.560
I think he eats the finest steaks and food he likes.
00:32:26.680
I think this is only just for the little people.
00:32:29.120
They're going to, they're going to, they're taking on air travel.
00:32:33.540
They're really hyping up the economic cost of air travel.
00:32:37.120
They want it to be an elite thing again, only for true jet setters.
00:32:43.200
The idea of a young person being able to take a cheap flight to Spain or Italy and see the world,
00:32:50.140
I think they truly see a stratified society with the elite and then the grubby peasants below.
00:33:00.600
They're actually working towards, it really is Bond villain type stuff.
00:33:05.960
I mean, throughout history, throughout civilizations, the ruling class elites have always tried to invent reasons
00:33:11.940
why the rest of us couldn't be free, why we had to be managed, why we had to give up our liberties.
00:33:26.680
And this is where they get into these emergency declarations, where they bypass democracy.
00:33:30.220
But what's happening in particular with the food industry right now, they were just out yesterday.
00:33:36.960
I don't know if you saw this, Ezra, but 258 million people worldwide face food insecurity now,
00:33:44.040
And they're blaming it on, drumroll please, climate change.
00:33:48.360
And what they're saying is that climate shock because of the bad weather, which isn't increasing on any time scale,
00:33:54.560
hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, droughts, wildfires,
00:33:56.140
not increasing according to even the UN itself.
00:33:59.360
But what they're claiming is because of these food shortages,
00:34:02.920
this is why we need to invest in the synthetic meat.
00:34:05.580
And this is why we need to turn to insect eating, also because insect eating is earth friendly.
00:34:11.640
And the reason that what's significant about the Switzerland story today about they're actually targeting school kids to eat bugs.
00:34:20.160
They did the same thing in Australia, the same thing in other parts of Europe,
00:34:23.100
because they're getting kids to go home and pester their parents.
00:34:26.460
They're using kids as part of a psychological operation to normalize insect eating.
00:34:39.460
CNN has been hyping, I think, cockroach milk and other things.
00:34:43.140
I mean, they are in this to win, to make this happen.
00:34:47.320
And one of the things you need to do, you need to collapse plentiful food.
00:34:50.740
And they are very far from COVID and to all the climate policies.
00:34:55.180
They are on their way fully to make that happen.
00:34:57.580
The same way they're creating car shortages, they're creating food shortages.
00:35:03.580
And they do it masterfully because they own the levers of power.
00:35:08.460
You know, I was in a pet store the other day and pet food is now full of insect protein.
00:35:15.820
They're trying to artificially build a market for it and to say, hey, it's been in your pet food for years.
00:35:24.860
You know, I was talking to James Lindsay a month ago and I asked him about certain instinctive reactions to things.
00:35:34.000
Speaking of pet stores, how does my dog know certain things?
00:35:40.920
There's obviously instincts, just like humans have instincts.
00:35:44.760
And I think there's an instinctive revulsion to eating bugs that must come from tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands since time immemorial.
00:35:53.500
It's a it would be a Darwinian trait that if you ate bugs and got sick, you would die off if you didn't need bugs.
00:36:01.360
And so just like I think there is something visceral.
00:36:04.540
The reason I gag when I see that footage of Bill Gates drinking poop water.
00:36:12.380
Because there's something I think that goes back millennia.
00:36:17.080
That that's Mother Nature or God or Darwin or whatever you ascribe to humans are hardwired to react to react that way.
00:36:26.880
That's your body or nature saying don't drink sewage.
00:36:46.000
I was thinking about this the other day, brutalist architecture, the ugliest architecture engineered to be ugly.
00:36:53.720
Brutalist architecture usually, in my observation, is in government institutions, universities, hospitals, government offices.
00:37:00.920
I've never seen, other than in North Korea, a brutalist hotel that you actually want to attract people to.
00:37:08.680
Hey, guys, come spend a lovely vacation in this architecturally oppressive, horrible prison like setting.
00:37:16.120
And to me, that's proof that people hate brutalism because if it actually appealed to people, every five star hotel would be this atrocious prison like thing.
00:37:26.780
That's proof that when when capitalism and people voting with their dollars is at issue, people like beauty.
00:37:36.280
If people naturally, instinctively were attracted to bugs, were attracted to this kind of living, they would be there already.
00:37:44.820
And that's why I say again, these people at the top of the pyramid, they know this is anti-human and unhuman.
00:37:54.620
They know people like don't don't like being cold in the winter.
00:38:03.200
And yet they do it to us and they're selling it to us as a plus.
00:38:15.880
And the only way they really can do it, they have to create the food shortage, which then makes you soften you up to more likely to consider eating bugs.
00:38:23.060
They're already starting, as they did with climate education, they're targeting the youth.
00:38:29.480
Interestingly enough, there have been animal rights activists pushing back on the bug eating, saying that bugs can feel pain.
00:38:35.500
There's a whole movement now to basically say, what about bug rights?
00:38:38.320
Remember, if you follow all their logic consistently, how can we eat bugs but not an animal?
00:38:45.860
You're supposed to all be equal with the animal world.
00:38:51.060
And one other thing on bugs, if you go back through history, it's the poorer subsistence cultures that eat bugs.
00:38:57.320
But once they get wealthier, the practice is largely abandoned except for a very small percentage.
00:39:03.780
Yeah, a lot of people eat bugs because they had to, not because they would choose to.
00:39:13.380
You know, I think even of Jewish cuisine, you know, traditionally Jewish cuisine, it's actually poor people food.
00:39:20.620
You know, you're in Europe and you have to eat like gefilte fish or these are things you probably don't even know about, Mark.
00:39:28.440
It's the worst fish ground up so you don't even recognize it.
00:39:32.320
And then you put spicy horseradish so you can stomach it.
00:39:37.420
That's what peasants ate because they were poor and they had to make do with like gross leftovers.
00:39:44.000
You know, I'm not going to I can talk about that because I'm Jewish myself.
00:39:46.600
But there's a certain kind of Chinese food that is basically the worst cuts of meat, the worst.
00:39:51.760
It's what you eat when you are poor, but you need calories.
00:39:55.300
I mean, we all know that in North Korea, that horrific prison country, they boiled leather, they ate grass, anything to live.
00:40:03.740
So if that's your argument, well, people will be needing these crappy foods.
00:40:08.860
And they want people to stay in that nasty, brutish state of poverty.
00:40:18.660
And the fact that this was proposed in the United Kingdom as part of an official platform, they are not going to relent, are they?
00:40:27.400
This is about literally an agenda that wants to control every aspect of human endeavor, our freedom of movement, our food, our energy, our free speech.
00:40:42.740
When I say they, I mean, I'm talking about United Nations, World Health.
00:40:48.860
They are out to literally mastermind our entire society from above using these self-created crisis, shortages of energy, food, transportation.
00:40:58.540
And they're going to force us into desperate times.
00:41:01.720
And that's they're really in COVID was just the ticket to do that.
00:41:06.360
And now, of course, the U.N. is blaming climate change for coming food shortages, particularly in the developing world.
00:41:21.140
Climate is the excuse for so many terrible things, energy, food, and everything.
00:41:46.860
If Bill C-11 and the rest should become law, then it must be applied against Trudeau and those who publicly broadcasted him shamelessly insulting Canadians who decided not to take the mRNA injection by calling them misogynist, racist, and questioning if they should be even tolerated.
00:42:01.340
But this call of not tolerating a group of people is a hate crime and must be treated as such.
00:42:06.720
Well, don't you know that hate crimes are in the eyes of the beholder and they will only be applied against the enemies of the regime?
00:42:17.820
And that's why I say to people who say, well, we should arrest Trudeau for treason or whatever.
00:42:22.880
If you criminalize something in the hopes you're going to get Trudeau, don't you know that they will use that law against you first?
00:42:29.580
Censorship is a, it's a, free speech is a tough thing because you have to give it to your opponents if you want it for yourself.
00:42:40.060
Can you give free speech to your opponent to say things that you hate to hear?
00:42:45.080
You have to because otherwise you'll set the precedent of values against you.
00:42:51.060
Calvin A says, hey, Ezra, in the dying moments of your show, you referenced Western provinces separating.
00:42:58.160
I'm not sure if you know, but B.C. already voted to secede from the Dominion.
00:43:02.220
On August 30, 1878, a motion passed third reading and B.C.'s legislator did do exactly that.
00:43:07.300
The petition was sent on to Queen Victoria, but she refused to receive it, so it died.
00:43:12.100
Its genesis came as a result of the delay on building the railroad.
00:43:15.520
And after the petition was ignored, Canada eventually finished the railway.
00:43:18.980
That said, the petition was never rescinded by the B.C. legislature.
00:43:22.160
I sent all the info and proof on to Drea and Sheila about a year ago, and I appreciate that Drea responded to me.
00:43:28.640
Our independent streak is not bound only to Alberta and Saskatchewan.
00:43:31.820
Well, that's a very interesting story that I had not heard today.
00:43:34.720
And, of course, there is a great independent spirit in B.C. and a lot of colorful characters.
00:43:40.220
One of the funnest names in politics I've ever heard was, I believe, he was a premier of B.C. called Amor de Cosmos, which you don't have to know Latin.
00:43:49.060
It means lover of the cosmos, lover of the universe.
00:43:52.940
Just there's always been a dissident streak, a contrarian streak, an independent streak.
00:43:57.920
And, yeah, the railway was built to hold this country together, and its delay, I'm sure, was a problem.
00:44:05.840
It's hard to say there's so much wokeness in Vancouver.
00:44:12.100
By the way, what do you think those CBC documents say?
00:44:18.180
Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.
