Transcript
00:00:00.120
Hello, my Rebels. I take on the LGBTQ2SL plus movement today. I think the L, the G, and the B are at odds with the T.
00:00:13.580
I'll explain my thinking, and I'll also explain why I'm terrified that LGBTQ2SLQWXYZ is targeting children now.
00:00:23.680
How did that happen? I'll give you my thoughts, and I'll show you some terrifying video.
00:00:27.280
But first, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus.
00:00:30.760
That's the video version of this podcast, and I think today's show, you really need it.
00:00:34.280
I'm going to show you some scenes from some recent pride parades, and I want you to see it with your own eyes.
00:00:42.380
You get my show every weeknight. Sheila Gunn-Reed has a weekly show.
00:00:45.220
And you know what? We need the dough because we don't get any money from Trudeau.
00:00:49.080
We never would take it, even if it was offered. That's why we're independent.
00:00:57.280
Tonight, if the gay rights movement focuses on children, it's going to lose support.
00:01:15.480
It's June 26, and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.
00:01:35.740
We're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children?
00:01:38.860
Gay rights used to mean just what it sounds like, civil rights for people who are homosexual.
00:02:09.100
The right to own property, the right to vote, freedom of speech, etc.
00:02:12.020
But until a couple of generations ago, gay sex itself was a crime.
00:02:16.840
Not one that was often prosecuted, but it was formally on the books until 1969 in Canada.
00:02:29.680
That was ended in 1992 in Canada, so 31 years ago.
00:02:35.660
Gay marriage became lawful in various provinces in 2003, and the Supreme Court of Canada made it national law in 2005.
00:02:46.860
Gay pride parades are amongst the largest parades in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal now.
00:02:52.620
They are major corporate events, drawing millions of dollars in sponsorship, and government money, too.
00:02:59.540
There really are no areas in public life where being gay is a barrier to entry.
00:03:04.280
Not in the corporate world, not in the political world.
00:03:12.560
I think it has been that way for at least a generation.
00:03:26.160
And just like the election and re-election of Barack Obama as U.S. president did not end racial division in America,
00:03:33.800
but actually marked the beginning of a new era of woke racism, so, too, has the total victory of the gay rights movement.
00:03:42.440
Instead of taking a victory lap, both movements became weaponized.
00:03:47.660
Obama was obviously elected by an enormous number of white people.
00:03:51.320
But instead of using his unique position to heal racial wounds of the past,
00:03:56.920
he actually used it to have a perpetual political war amongst Americans as a wedge based on race
00:04:04.000
to put the Republicans on the back foot to drive his political agenda.
00:04:19.260
In fact, I think the T in LGBT is actually inherently contrary to the L and the G.
00:04:30.080
But the T, that implies that a person is born in the wrong body.
00:04:36.280
And the ultimate extension of that idea, I guess, is that if you are gay,
00:04:42.020
you have to undergo extreme body-altering surgery and drugs to get into your proper body.
00:04:50.080
You have to transition to being a trans woman or a trans man.
00:05:03.320
I mean, in the 1980s, Dustin Hoffman's movie Tootsie was a fun, quirky comedy.
00:05:08.520
Same with the 1990s Mrs. Doubtfire with Robin Williams.
00:05:18.240
I mean, that's how it was in society until about five minutes ago.
00:05:46.440
I bet Trudeau doesn't know what that stands for either.
00:05:50.800
But I'll tell you, it stands for two-spirited, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,
00:05:55.660
queer or questioning, and then additional sexual orientations and gender identities.
00:06:03.720
It's not a man who is attracted to a man or a woman who is attracted to a woman.
00:06:11.500
But this is now about queering and questioning everything.
00:06:16.260
Smashing conceptions, smashing structures and establishments.
00:06:26.540
But queer math, queer spelling, queer history is expressly to smash the oppressor who gave
00:06:37.360
It really is like the satirical website The Onion.
00:06:40.460
They were around a long time before the Babylon Bee.
00:06:44.560
22 years ago, The Onion published this headline.
00:06:48.660
Gay Pride Parade Sets Mainstream Acceptance of Gays Back 50 Years.
00:06:57.460
The mainstream acceptance of gays and lesbians, a hard-won civil rights victory, came through
00:07:01.260
decades of struggle against prejudice and discrimination, was set back at least 50 years
00:07:06.520
Saturday in the wake of the annual Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade.
00:07:14.040
Alison Weber, 43, and El Segundo marketing consultants also had her perceptions and assumptions
00:07:21.400
Quote, my understanding was that gay people are just like everyone else, decent, hardworking
00:07:27.560
people who care about their communities and have loving, committed relationships, Weber
00:07:32.720
But after this terrifying spectacle, I don't want them teaching my kids or living in my
00:07:41.820
But satire really can't keep up with reality, can it?
00:07:45.140
The rainbow flag itself has given way to what Lawrence Fox calls the migraine flag.
00:07:51.980
I saw the autistic gay flag for the first time the other day.
00:07:54.560
It's so far past being about gay rights and gay equality.
00:07:59.340
But what I think is a bridge too far is that it's not just about the sexuality.
00:08:07.500
And that's not the definition of gay or lesbian, is it?
00:08:18.820
They have a new phrase, minor attracted person they're trying to normalize.
00:08:25.360
New York City drag marchers chant, we're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children.
00:08:45.040
Well, if you've been paying attention at all to what's going on in schools, it is absolutely
00:08:50.260
How did gay rights, the right to free speech for gay people, the right to free association,
00:08:54.840
the right to privacy for gay people, the right to join the army, the right not to be fired
00:08:58.600
from a job, the right to marry another consenting adult, things that suddenly—how does that
00:09:07.980
Targeting kids with any sexual orientation, because that's the thing about children.
00:09:15.380
What would you think of a group of heterosexual activists?
00:09:18.220
I don't know what that would be, like a stripper or a prostitute or a pimp, had parades and
00:09:26.600
No children are allowed in strip clubs or in brothels.
00:09:31.040
It would be an arrestable offense if they were.
00:09:33.220
But not so with the new LGBTQ post-gay movement.
00:09:43.580
That ancient taboo just being detonated in front of our eyes.
00:09:47.240
How did that get grafted onto the LGB campaign?
00:09:51.140
Here's a group called Gays Against Groomers with a protest at the New York City Pride Parade.
00:09:59.320
There is no pride in sexualizing, indoctrinating, or mutilating kids, which is where the T and
00:10:10.820
This is an idea, this transgenderism planted in the minds of kids.
00:10:15.420
What are they doing talking to kids at all about sex?
00:10:18.300
Here's a sexually liberated leftist named Bill Maher, libertine, but he gets it.
00:10:24.120
If you attend a small dinner party of typically very liberal, upper-income Angelenos, it is
00:10:30.500
not uncommon to hear parents who each have a trans kid having a conversation about that.
00:10:36.040
What are the odds of that happening in Youngstown, Ohio?
00:10:40.220
If this spike in trans children is all natural, why is it regional?
00:10:44.800
Either Ohio is shaming them or California is creating them.
00:10:57.360
It's like that day we suddenly all needed bottled water all the time.
00:11:02.480
If we can't admit that in certain enclaves there is some level of trendiness to the idea
00:11:08.020
of being anything other than straight, then this is not a serious science-based discussion.
00:11:13.780
It's a blow being struck in the culture wars using children as cannon fodder.
00:11:19.320
I don't understand parents who won't let their nine-year-old walk to the corner without
00:11:31.620
But hormone blockers and genital surgery, fine.
00:11:44.000
And the way it is, secret clubs at school, having secret talks with children about their
00:11:51.840
Here's Trudeau's Rosemary Barton and the CBC grilling the premier of New Brunswick, who
00:12:01.000
Do you have a problem with the idea of gender dysphoria?
00:12:04.820
Well, my position, Rosemary, is not the issue in that sense.
00:12:10.460
My position as a grandfather and as a father is that I think that kids in especially these
00:12:16.600
vulnerable years in elementary school years, you know, are, let's say, you know, toddlers
00:12:22.660
being exposed to, well, I may not be a boy or girl.
00:12:27.020
That is the role that parents need to play a role.
00:12:31.420
And so how do we ensure that everyone understands what is being presented, what's in the school
00:12:39.460
Sure, but I guess I'm wondering, Premier, if your personal views are influencing your policy
00:12:47.040
No, Rosemary, it's not about my personal views at all.
00:12:51.400
It's about a role as a parent and a grandparent and thinking about my grandchildren now that
00:12:58.080
would be attending school and the fact that her parents would not know what she was being
00:13:08.620
Because I think most parents, you know, take for granted that the school system is doing
00:13:15.580
But there's so many things that parents are asked to have their consent on, so many things,
00:13:24.040
But do you understand that there are children who would not be comfortable telling their parents
00:13:28.620
that, who would not feel safe having that conversation with their parents?
00:13:31.680
And so school would be the safe place for them to identify in the gender of their choosing.
00:13:38.960
I do understand that, and that's why our goal is to put a process in place and work with
00:13:44.860
parents and children, teachers and the guidance counsellors, the professionals, to help us build
00:13:51.840
A plan that allows for the child to be protected and a plan that eventually would have parents
00:14:00.440
involved in supporting their children, not, you know, alienating their parents and the
00:14:05.360
child, but finding a way to bridge the gaps that exist in maybe their, certainly how they're
00:14:11.840
There are critics, as you know, that say that this policy is transphobic.
00:14:16.520
Children want to make secrets with teachers and keep those secrets from parents, and that's
00:14:26.440
If you want to know what secret conversations your young child is having with sexualized
00:14:30.160
teachers talking about sex, you're transphobic now?
00:14:35.640
You need parental consent to take your kid on a field trip, but not to join a sexual club
00:14:41.860
and talk to guidance counsellors about sexual things, including changing their bodies.
00:14:47.220
Here's Chris Austin at Cabinet Ministry in New Brunswick, where this is a political crisis
00:14:53.120
My daughter in grade two can change her name and her gender, not just without my consent,
00:15:03.180
but most importantly, without me even knowing it, to the point that the school would literally
00:15:08.500
deceive me as a parent should I ask to know what's going on.
00:15:19.280
And I can tell you one thing, the vast majority of parents in this province have a very serious
00:15:24.940
problem with that as well, and I will not back down.
00:15:27.660
You need permission to take a kid on a field trip, like Boy Scouts or Girl Guides, you used
00:15:33.040
to trust them to take care of your kids, now they are overtly sexual.
00:15:37.260
Here's the Girl Guides at the New York Pride Parade.
00:16:05.640
Stop telling them things about sex, gay or straight.
00:16:08.420
Stop keeping it a secret from parents, you predators.
00:16:13.320
How on earth did molesting children and sexualizing them go from being the most horrific crime
00:16:18.400
imaginable to a politically protected category of speech and action?
00:16:25.200
I think this is a litmus test, really, how someone reacts to this proposal by a UK member
00:16:33.380
MPs push for sex education transparency, where parents could see lesson plans and materials
00:16:42.060
Miriam Cates, the MP for Penistone and Stockbridge, you don't want to mispronounce that, will today
00:16:49.340
It would stop schools using unpublished materials from third-party providers.
00:16:53.660
Seriously, what are you doing allowing sex groups into the school with their secret pamphlets?
00:17:00.640
Imagine needing a law for this, that parents get to see what their kids are being taught.
00:17:06.060
Not even to know what the kids are saying or if they're secretly changing their names
00:17:09.820
or their gender, just to see what propaganda your own children are being shown.
00:17:14.780
Parents could be able to see sex education lesson plans and other materials under a new
00:17:21.040
Miriam Cates, the MP for Penistone and Stockbridge, will today introduce a sex education transparency
00:17:27.560
It would create a legal duty for English schools to share materials used in relationships and
00:17:33.720
sex education, RSE, lessons with parents, and prevent schools from using unpublished materials
00:17:39.680
if they are provided by a third-party provider.
00:17:44.420
Imagine that this isn't a law right now and that it needs to be a law.
00:17:48.980
The proposal comes after Claire Page, 47, lost a legal fight to see the sex education
00:17:57.980
A judge ruled the commercial interests of the third-party provider outweighed the public
00:18:02.920
interest in having the school hand over the material.
00:18:05.700
So making commercial money out of porn is more important than a parent's rights?
00:18:14.840
Someone has more rights to your own child than you do?
00:18:21.000
Here's a video from the UK, but do you doubt it's the same here?
00:18:42.780
I just didn't say that if they want to identify as a cat or something, then they're like genuinely
00:18:46.940
Then they've gone, yeah, they're going to be unwell.
00:18:52.100
I wasn't questioning, I was just saying about the gender.
00:18:55.940
But where did you get this idea from that there's only two genders?
00:19:00.480
If I respect their opinion, can't they respect my opinion?
00:19:12.680
Gender is not linked to the parts that you were born with.
00:19:19.380
Which is what I said right from the very beginning.
00:19:31.540
You can be born with male and female body parts or hormones.
00:19:48.720
People that don't believe they have agender at all.
00:20:02.760
But cisgender is not necessarily the way to be.
00:20:06.120
You were talking about the fact that cisgender is the norm.
00:20:10.280
That you identify with the gender, with the sexual order that you're born with, or you're weird.
00:20:19.900
If I called my mum right now, my mum would be sad.
00:20:27.300
There's only a small majority of people who actually think that.
00:20:29.740
And why do you think we have so many problems in the world with homophobia?
00:20:44.820
And you're saying that people can't exchange who they want it to be.
00:21:10.840
And if you don't like it, you need to go to a different school.
00:21:15.700
You need to have a proper educational conversation about equality, diversity and inclusion.
00:21:23.840
Because I'm not having that expressed in my lesson.
00:21:26.960
When I'm teaching you about you can be who you want to be.
00:21:32.000
They just don't say it because then all this happens.
00:21:34.760
Maybe because they're polite and maybe they're sensitive.
00:21:37.280
I haven't said anything in all of the lessons I've been in.
00:21:40.000
It's just because they turn around and start saying something.
00:21:41.800
So I said, how can you identify as a cat when you're a girl?
00:21:46.120
I would imagine that you'll be asked to write a statement as well.
00:21:50.440
This has suddenly come from everywhere all at the same time.
00:21:55.940
Here's a video published by the WHO, the World Health Organization.
00:22:03.360
It's not only functional when you're just a child.
00:22:10.780
We're going to discover how your body works and how my body works.
00:22:47.960
But it's not only children who can come, but also women who can come.
00:22:51.960
But they don't have any of them, because we don't have any of them.
00:23:00.960
You have your schaamlippen, your inner schaamlippen.
00:23:04.960
One at the place and one where the baby comes out.
00:23:07.960
But above those gates there is also a kind of button.
00:23:18.960
But when you sit there, it can give a nice feeling.
00:23:22.960
And you can feel that it's pretty when you sit at that button.
00:23:31.960
What are you doing talking to children like that?
00:23:38.960
If you can create distrust between parents and children.
00:23:41.960
If you can put agents of the state in place of parents with this secret sexualization
00:23:46.960
to replace parental authority with moral activists, you know, telling a new morality,
00:23:52.960
a new authority to the kids, a new ideology, all is lost.
00:24:06.960
Imagine telling them that they have to take hormones and drugs and get irreversible surgery.
00:24:11.960
Instead of just giving them loving help and an awkward time of life.
00:24:15.960
Here's a three minute video by a girl, probably pretty common.
00:24:20.960
Hello, as some of you might know, my name is Ash and I am a detransitioner.
00:24:24.960
I recently made a little video on this topic, not really explaining much of it and got quite a bit of backlash in my comment section.
00:24:32.960
And some of you guys, you're going to hate me for this, but I need to speak the truth.
00:24:42.960
Growing up, I didn't really show any signs of gender dysphoria.
00:24:45.960
I was perfectly happy with my body and being a girl.
00:24:48.960
And of course I was uncomfortable with like puberty and stuff, but that was for other reasons.
00:24:52.960
Every girl is uncomfortable with their changing body.
00:24:55.960
And when I was 13, I started to struggle a lot with depression, anxiety, that sort of stuff.
00:25:00.960
I spent a lot of time on the internet, specifically TikTok, way more than I should have rather than going out in the real world, especially with COVID and everything else that was going on.
00:25:09.960
Now at the time, there were a million, million videos of all these trans people coming out.
00:25:14.960
And because I was so unhappy with myself and who I was, I thought that that might be what was wrong with me.
00:25:19.960
And I convinced myself that that's what was wrong with me and that's what would fix me.
00:25:22.960
And I went really, really, really far to pass as a male to the point where nobody that I knew knew that I was born a female.
00:25:29.960
Here's a little picture of me from that time. Had the facial hair and everything.
00:25:34.960
When I first transitioned, I really didn't have any issues with my body.
00:25:37.960
But as I went on, I realized that I needed to fit into this box if I wanted to be a male.
00:25:42.960
And because of how my body did not fit into that box, I became increasingly more uncomfortable with it.
00:25:47.960
But it wasn't gender dysphoria. It was me trying to fit myself into a box that I simply didn't fit into.
00:25:52.960
In a way, I sort of brainwashed myself into thinking that I had gender dysphoria.
00:25:57.960
And naturally, this brought me into a really bad place mentally where I started struggling with drugs, self-harm, suicidal ideation, all that stuff.
00:26:04.960
And I assumed this was because I wasn't male enough. But it was really because I wasn't a male at all.
00:26:13.960
And the thing that I think is absolutely wild is that I went to one appointment before I was given my prescription. One.
00:26:19.960
And you might be thinking, oh, well, they probably asked you a ton of questions.
00:26:25.960
I basically walked in there and was like, I'm trans. And they were like, okay.
00:26:28.960
They didn't question me. They didn't sit down with me and question and talk like, is this really what's right for you?
00:26:33.960
They were just like, okay, this is the next step in your transition. We'll give it to you.
00:26:37.960
I was on testosterone for about six months and luckily it didn't affect me super bad.
00:26:41.960
I can still talk in a higher range and pass as female.
00:26:45.960
Of course, there's a lot of changes that are permanent that I'm going to have to live with for the rest of my life.
00:26:49.960
After about two years of living as a male, I realized I was wrong.
00:26:55.960
I stayed living as male for another year before I really finally decided that I needed to do this.
00:27:01.960
And it was one of the most scary things that I ever did.
00:27:06.960
I've found that people are so quick to accept trans people, but so quick to criticize detransitioners.
00:27:12.960
Once I detransitioned, all my mental problems were gone.
00:27:15.960
I'm happy. That was my issue. The fact that I'd convinced myself that I was a dude.
00:27:27.960
Pitting us against each other based on our sexual identities.
00:27:30.960
Making a sort of civil war just like Black Lives Matter pitted race against race where there had been relative harmony.
00:27:37.960
And the beautiful moment of America electing a black president now after true LGB equality.
00:27:44.960
A new cultural Marxist war amongst ourselves to devour our children.
00:27:49.960
And the shocking colonization of all our institutions so quickly.
00:28:00.960
The number of Americans supporting same sex relationships has fall has dropped from 71 to 64 percent compared to one year ago.
00:28:09.960
With more people thinking it not morally acceptable, according to a new Gallup poll.
00:28:15.960
Yeah, those those awful Republicans in one year.
00:28:20.960
I think it's pretty obvious why it's not the L, the G or the B.
00:28:24.960
I'd say it's parents, not Republicans, just parents.
00:28:28.960
Parents of kids who are being pressured to hate their own bodies.
00:28:32.960
Parents of girls who are being pushed out of sports by men who fake being women.
00:28:36.960
Parents who are afraid to turn on the TV set or to watch a movie, even a Disney movie, for fear of bizarre indoctrination targeting their kids.
00:28:47.960
And closing your eyes won't make this madness go away.
00:28:52.960
I hope New Brunswick has a snap election on this.
00:28:58.960
Not just regime puppets like the CBC's Rosemary Barton.
00:29:05.960
Well, it was a pleasure the other day to meet with Mark Mielke,
00:29:13.960
who has founded the Aristotle Foundation, a new freedom-oriented charity in Canada.
00:29:24.960
But it's great that he has this new institution.
00:29:26.960
And I think Canada needs a lot more of them on our side of things.
00:29:30.960
And there's another institution that has been around for a while called C2C Journal.
00:29:43.960
Like you don't go to C2C Journal for what happened in the last two hours.
00:29:48.960
They have more thoughtful, deeply researched essays.
00:29:55.960
And I thought, you know, they have interesting things.
00:30:01.960
And we ought to take advantage of that and show our viewers what's cooking in C2C Journal
00:30:07.960
and give them a shout out for their good work at the same time.
00:30:15.960
Margaret Coppola is an author and public policy activist.
00:30:19.960
She has a new essay on C2C Journal called The Virus, The Vaccine, The Victims, Beginning the Great Reckoning.
00:30:29.960
And let me just read a sentence from it before I call on Margaret Coppola.
00:30:33.960
She says, as COVID-19 recedes, a worldwide evaluation of how the pandemic was handled is finally underway.
00:30:41.960
As much as governments, public health leaders, and official science want to avoid questions,
00:30:46.960
others with courage and determination are digging in and finding answers,
00:30:50.960
including Canada's privately organized National Citizens' Inquiry.
00:30:55.960
And as Rebel viewers know, we have covered that very intensively.
00:30:59.960
Margaret Coppola examines the damage done by misguided public health measures
00:31:04.960
and presents disturbing new evidence that vaccines were not only pointless
00:31:08.960
but have caused injury and death on a horrific scale.
00:31:12.960
And she reveals how efforts to fight back in the courts and against the media are gaining traction.
00:31:16.960
As more information comes out, the truth about the greatest disaster of our time is becoming clearer.
00:31:23.960
Well, Margaret, that's a very bold thesis statement.
00:31:29.960
The other day, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of the great president,
00:31:37.960
Democratic presidential primary candidate, lifelong activist,
00:31:43.960
criticized the vaccines on various programs, criticized it in an interview with Jordan Peterson,
00:31:53.960
criticized him in an interview with Joe Rogan, and YouTube censored it, deleted the video.
00:32:04.960
And he's being censored for saying unapproved, disapproved things about big pharma.
00:32:10.960
These are dangerous things to talk about, aren't they?
00:32:14.960
But I'm proud to say I think I'm in very good company.
00:32:20.960
And, in fact, wouldn't be writing about any of this at all if it wasn't thoroughly documented
00:32:26.960
And the people who are speaking out about this, I mean, people like Robert F. Kennedy,
00:32:32.960
like Peter McCullough, like Robert Malone, like, I mean, there's a whole slew of thoroughly
00:32:38.960
intellectually and morally courageous people who have stood up, done the hard work,
00:32:45.960
highly credentialed people, many of them more credentialed than your average public health
00:32:51.960
officer, I have to say, who are doing the heavy lifting and scouring the studies.
00:32:58.960
And there are thousands of them now, thousands, who are pointing to all kinds of problems with
00:33:06.960
And our worst fears, of course, are coming true, that they are doing more, much more harm
00:33:14.960
Well, tell me where some of these inquiries are happening.
00:33:19.960
You mentioned the National Citizen Inquiry here in Canada.
00:33:21.960
That is a private initiative, like it's a citizen's initiative, as the name suggests.
00:33:28.960
It doesn't have the power to compel attendance.
00:33:31.960
It doesn't have the power to subpoena documents.
00:33:34.960
It doesn't have the power to swear someone in under oath and hold them to task for perjury
00:33:42.960
So many of the things that we rely on the government to do through judicial inquiries or public inquiries,
00:33:52.960
And whenever we get public inquiries, like with the trucker convoy, they seem to be rigged.
00:33:56.960
We look at David Johnson and his inquiry into Chinese influence peddling.
00:34:02.960
So I don't think we're going to see a real vigorous legal inquiry in Canada.
00:34:08.960
But are there other countries where they actually are having inquiries with the force of the law behind them?
00:34:21.960
In fact, our own National Citizen's Inquiry may be a shining example of what everybody should be doing and aren't so far.
00:34:30.960
That said, I will use the term used by Peter McCullough that, you know, the U.S. is in a state of all near capitulation.
00:34:39.960
I mean, as he as he puts it, you know, we've got we've got finally got recognition that this was this virus resulted as a lab leak from Wuhan.
00:34:52.960
I mean, just a bare months ago, this was considered conspiracy theory talk.
00:34:58.960
We now know that they are going to have Congress has has voted to release or declassify all of the documentation around the U.S. involvement in Wuhan and what actually happened in Wuhan, all of that.
00:35:13.960
We already know a lot about that, by the way, because there's all kinds of people very knowledgeable and closely associated with what went on at Wuhan and have already written books about it.
00:35:23.960
And so you've got also a withdrawal by the U.S.
00:35:31.900
They have withdrawn the monovalent vaccines, the original two vaccines, the three vaccines, I guess, that were.
00:35:41.720
But they're just but they're just not being offered anymore in the U.S.
00:35:45.060
And although they're still offering the biovalent vaccines, many other countries are going through the same order of, as it were.
00:35:55.140
Well, if not, capitulation may be too strong a word, but certainly withdrawal from the whole from the whole pandemic mode, although the pandemic is not over, according to the to the WHO.
00:36:06.280
The emergency is over, not the pandemic itself.
00:36:10.300
But you've got countries like like Denmark as no longer offering the vaccine at all to anybody under 50.
00:36:16.740
You've got states like Florida saying no children should not get a teenager should not get it.
00:36:20.680
Even the WHO is saying the children, the teenagers should not be getting this vaccine.
00:36:28.480
Switzerland has is just withdrawn it from everybody saying, no, don't take it.
00:36:33.380
And in fact, I believe in some cases they're telling doctors that you can offer it.
00:36:39.180
So, yeah, we are seeing some kind of a reckoning underway, even though nobody's saying the word out loud.
00:36:51.900
But of course, right here in Canada, where it's only like in the last year or so, we finally got some safety data system up and running.
00:36:59.620
And we finally have a website from the Government of Canada that gives us some statistics on what kind of injuries and disabilities and what kind of problems have arisen around the vaccine.
00:37:12.460
But these numbers were well to hand within the last over for more than a year in other countries.
00:37:18.520
The U.S., for instance, has the VAERS data system, 17,000 deaths in the U.S. alone being attributed to the vaccine, 26,000, I think, injuries and deaths, injuries and disabilities.
00:37:31.480
In fact, we even have a case I write about it in the article by somebody who comes up at it from an entirely different angle, not a medical angle, but from an insurance angle.
00:37:42.440
He looks at the insurance statistics and sees all of a sudden that, you know, from the time of the vaccine rollout in the U.S. to the end of its major rollout, that insurance claims were going through the roof.
00:37:59.180
By whom? Not by the usual suspects. I mean, the people, the elderly or others who we know were very severely affected by this virus, but this time by young professionals, ordinarily extremely healthy people who are and on whom insurance companies make huge amounts of money because normally they don't die.
00:38:20.060
But all of a sudden they were dying. And guess what? It correlated exactly with the rollout of the vaccine.
00:38:27.740
If you look at the charts, you've got the doses are going up this and then the deaths are going up this way.
00:38:33.540
So the article is sprinkled with charts like that where you can see direct relationship between dosages and deaths.
00:38:40.360
Let me read one paragraph from your essay about this vaccine reporting system.
00:38:46.800
It's called VAERS, which stands for Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, which is a voluntary system.
00:38:53.920
So it doesn't catch all of it. Before COVID-19, McCullough, that's Dr. McCullough noted, all vaccines combined in the U.S.
00:39:04.000
generated a total, on average, of 158 deaths per year.
00:39:09.640
By contrast, the mRNA vaccines developed to combat COVID-19.
00:39:15.840
As of March 3rd, 2023, McCullough said VAERS, that's the reporting system,
00:39:28.960
that occurred within a few days of taking COVID-19 and 16,454 permanently disabled.
00:39:41.000
You'd think that would be huge news, but it really isn't.
00:39:44.760
I mean, when COVID deaths were being reported, they would include anything.
00:39:50.060
If you died of a heart attack but had COVID at the same time, it would be marked as a COVID death.
00:40:01.700
Someone fell off a ladder, and it was called a COVID death.
00:40:04.980
Whereas a death from a vaccine, it's the exact opposite.
00:40:09.100
They would do anything to ascribe it to a cause other than the vaccine.
00:40:20.400
And, you know, I mean, the general theory about all of that is that, and I think it's
00:40:25.300
well accepted across the board, that they use peer tactics in order to get people to get
00:40:32.820
And they may have done so for the best of reasons.
00:40:35.120
They honestly believe that the vaccine would prevent infections.
00:40:37.820
They honestly believe that it would help encourage herd immunity, all those things.
00:40:41.820
But absolutely none of those things have come to pass.
00:40:51.620
And in fact, we now know, thanks to a recent study from the Cleveland study, that worse than
00:40:58.160
that, the more vaccines you get, the more likely you are to contract COVID.
00:41:03.120
And the least fewer vaccines you have, shots you have, in fact, better off if you have none
00:41:09.160
at all, you are at least at risk of getting COVID.
00:41:12.260
So, I mean, this vaccine business has absolutely, totally backfired.
00:41:18.940
Not only is it not doing the job it should have done, it might have helped a little bit
00:41:23.220
at the beginning, because it does confer some help for, you know, immunity maybe for a few
00:41:39.240
Yeah, they had to change the definition of vaccine, because if you're not stopping someone
00:41:45.860
from catching a disease, it's not really a vaccine.
00:41:49.020
It may be a therapy of some sort, but it's not a vaccine.
00:41:51.620
Let me ask you a question that's on my mind, because you and I are awake to these things.
00:41:56.720
And I think a lot of people were woken up by it.
00:41:59.760
People of different political backgrounds, by the way, conservatives who didn't like the
00:42:03.920
government accreting this power to themselves, but also liberals who always swore by my body,
00:42:09.640
my choice, new Democrats, and Green Party members who said, what's with the support for
00:42:15.440
What's with forcing this on collective bargaining workers without a bargain?
00:42:20.440
So I think a lot of people were wakened up to it.
00:42:23.640
But I think a lot of others just got way too comfy with the authoritarianism.
00:42:37.680
Yes, they were doing, you know, they were taking it for the team.
00:42:43.120
And they were protecting grandma and they were protecting the kids.
00:42:56.720
I've been covering the pandemic through C2C now over the last couple of years.
00:43:02.640
And the really pertinent essay on this is the piece on the psychology of totalitarianism
00:43:17.280
The vast majority, even the highly educated people who should know better, suspend all
00:43:22.440
critical thinking and feel and whether it's the fear factor that takes over or whether
00:43:29.940
it's the sense of meaning and purpose because they're in there fighting the good fight along
00:43:37.800
We're doing this, you know, for, you know, whatever number of reasons.
00:43:48.260
It starts with a feeling of anxiety and isolation.
00:43:51.560
And all of a sudden you have a reason for behaving in a certain way.
00:43:58.400
Of course, it gets very dangerous when you, and we've seen the excesses in, in, in, in,
00:44:03.520
in the worst of totalitarian systems where they start demonizing others.
00:44:10.280
Well, let me ask you, I think the most important question, if I may, like there's lots of details
00:44:15.700
and there's lots of scandals within the major scandal, but here's what's on my mind.
00:44:27.420
I mean, we're learning that in Wuhan, China, they went out to the caves to bring the viruses
00:44:32.460
back to work on them, to give them gain of function.
00:44:35.360
We're learning the terrible things that were done.
00:44:38.660
I mean, Bill Gates says there will be, and he would know.
00:44:41.860
So are we more or less likely to have vaccine mandates, lockdowns, mask mandates, shutting
00:44:51.880
We're more or less likely to go through that same abusive response again?
00:45:00.020
And whether the next round results from a new virus or a mutation or whether it's any
00:45:09.360
kind of emergency, it could be, you know, a bogus climate emergency.
00:45:14.280
And all of a sudden, I mean, where do you think the notion of 15-minute cities has come
00:45:18.900
And how, where do you think the digital currencies are coming from?
00:45:22.280
I mean, these are all de facto control mechanisms.
00:45:25.960
And yes, I mean, what has happened is you've got, you've got a, the amplification factor,
00:45:32.900
which is, you know, once you have governments tasting the kind of power they've enjoyed,
00:45:37.080
and with limitless freedom to print money, to fund all this stuff, never mind we're paying
00:45:46.840
Yes, absolutely, we will get more of this unless, unless those few of us who are awake
00:45:53.560
to all of this and the more of us who get awake to all of this, unless we can prevent it.
00:45:58.720
And yes, it is preventable because, hey, we talk about it just like we're talking about
00:46:05.980
The essay is called The Virus, The Vaccine, The Victims, Beginning the Great Reckoning.
00:46:10.880
The author is Margaret Coppola, and the journal is c2cjournal.ca.
00:46:18.140
Thank you for doing this work, and we look forward to following the reckoning, as you say,
00:46:44.560
Citizen Jerry says, Ezra, Michael Matt, a leading voice for the traditional Catholic Latin mass,
00:46:50.160
suggested that Orwell got the story's ending wrong because he was an agnostic.
00:46:54.720
Orwell could only see the cruel tyranny of Oceania.
00:46:57.280
He missed the millions of godly people standing ready to push back against the demonic evil
00:47:09.280
That's a great point, is that faith, by definition, gives people hope where sometimes there is no
00:47:24.520
Joe B. says, what a wonderful move, Ezra, republishing Orwell's classic novel.
00:47:33.420
I can't help but feel we have been living through his animal farm struggle for freedom
00:47:37.740
and are now engulfed in the real dystopian world of Winston Smith.
00:47:40.840
And your mention of Huxley's Brave New World is appropriate, as it absolutely smacks of the
00:47:47.860
Those were gifted writers who perceived the future and gave us the warnings.
00:47:53.980
I think you're exactly right with Brave New World.
00:47:56.460
And it's incredible how they perceived those changes decades ago, those authors.
00:48:04.160
Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, see you at home.
