Hey there, you know, we have an email service called Rebel Buzz every morning.
00:00:04.580
You get, I don't know, 10 or 15 headlines, not from the Rebel, but from other places
00:00:11.340
I really rely on it as sort of my morning briefing.
00:00:16.060
Today, there was just so many stories, and I wanted to read through almost 10 of them
00:00:33.620
Before I do, let me invite you to become a subscriber to the TV version of this podcast,
00:00:43.380
It's $8 a month to get the video version of my daily show, plus weekly shows from Sheila
00:01:00.640

00:01:03.340
It's $8 a month, or $80 if you want to pay the whole year in advance.
00:01:06.540
You can see you get two months free out of that.
00:01:12.800
Tonight, you know that saying, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times?
00:01:35.180
It's May 20th, and this is the Ezra LeVance Show.
00:01:37.480
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:01:43.340
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:01:47.400
The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher, is because it's my bloody
00:01:53.280
That saying, you know, the first lines in Dickens' Tale of Two Cities, but it's not the best
00:02:10.940
The pandemic is about to devour a second year of our lives.
00:02:15.780
It's the opportunistic political response to it.
00:02:17.960
The abject failure of the entire establishment, the public health industrial complex, the
00:02:24.180
media, legislatures, both governments and especially oppositions, courts, lawyers, law
00:02:30.720
professors, NGOs, civil liberties groups, complete failure, total system-wide failure.
00:02:37.940
They're done in Texas, and they're done in Florida.
00:02:40.420
Boy, they've been done in China for a long time.
00:02:43.060
This is from a big New Year's Eve party in Wuhan, China, almost six months ago.
00:02:50.820
Instead, we become like them, hunting down Christian pastors with police, arresting them in the middle
00:03:02.100
If you look at various governments' contracts, whether it's for COVID jails or vaccine programs,
00:03:12.440
Like any war, a lot of people are making a lot of money.
00:03:17.640
Money and fame and a crisis in which they are very important people.
00:03:23.740
Anthony Fauci, Teresa Tam, Eileen Davila, Bonnie Henry, Dina Hinchot.
00:03:33.980
Bonnie Henry even took the time out from this emergency to write a book about what a hero she is.
00:03:40.500
Do you think she wants to go back to her little cubicle and no longer be a hero?
00:03:50.640
How is it that you can be vaccinated but still die from the virus?
00:03:56.200
I think most of the accounting, the accounting of virus deaths as being junk, it's people who
00:04:03.740
So you might die from cancer or a stroke or diabetes, but if you have the virus in you,
00:04:10.580
Some jurisdictions say if you die within 30 days of testing positive, that's a virus death.
00:04:15.300
So you can't really quite count on news reporting, can you?
00:04:19.000
But it does raise the question, what's up with those vaccines?
00:04:22.720
I've stopped trying to keep up with the evolving science.
00:04:25.260
That's the word they use on the vaccines, like AstraZeneca.
00:04:28.360
That phrase, evolving science, that's when politicians make a political decision, I flip-flop
00:04:39.440
Banning international flights is bad, then banning international flights is good.
00:04:44.000
Churches are dangerous, but not Walmarts and Costcos.
00:04:49.820
Anti-lockdown protests and rodeos are dangerous.
00:04:59.240
Just like Leonardo DiCaprio on his private jet and private yacht warning us about global warming,
00:05:04.760
I know he doesn't mean it because he's living like he doesn't mean it.
00:05:09.060
Here's Anthony Fauci and the heads of two other senior U.S. public health agencies,
00:05:14.340
and they were asked, how many of their own staff have been vaccinated?
00:05:24.580
What percentage of the employees in your institute, your center of your employees, has been vaccinated?
00:05:31.880
You know, I'm not 100% sure, Senator, but I think it's probably a little bit more than half,
00:05:42.200
That's actually less than the average in a lot of U.S. states.
00:05:46.060
Maybe the experts at the Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration,
00:05:51.400
maybe they know that the drugs have been authorized, which means they're permitted,
00:05:57.580
but they're not approved, which means we don't yet know that they're safe
00:06:08.060
That's from these drug companies who keep pointing that out, probably for liability reasons.
00:06:12.800
They don't want to make false promises, and what politicians are doing, especially here in Canada,
00:06:18.040
delaying the second jab, mixing and matching vaccines.
00:06:22.520
These companies are just being very, very quiet, these drug companies.
00:06:26.280
They're not making any of these crazy, evolving science promises.
00:06:32.340
If you read their warning labels, I did that with you the other day on the show,
00:06:34.840
you'll know that they only sell these non-approved drugs in the state of emergency.
00:06:39.780
That's when they're authorized because there's an emergency.
00:06:42.400
Otherwise, they go back to being experimental drugs, not for sale.
00:06:47.420
So yeah, they don't want this emergency to end ever.
00:06:51.120
Moderna has actually never taken a drug to market before.
00:06:57.400
See, do you sign up for our daily emails here at Rebel News?
00:07:03.280
It's the same information I get every morning to brief myself on the day.
00:07:12.540
Scientists working at Canada's highest security infectious disease laboratory
00:07:15.920
have been collaborating with Chinese military researchers
00:07:18.820
to study and conduct experiments on deadly pathogens.
00:07:23.460
The Global Mail has learned that one of the Chinese researchers,
00:07:27.040
Fei Yan, from the People's Liberation Army Academy of Military Medical Sciences,
00:07:32.080
worked for a period of time at the Winnipeg Lab.
00:07:40.620
We're working with the Chinese military on weaponized viruses.
00:07:50.840
Canadians who cross border for vaccine must quarantine on return, Ottawa says.
00:07:58.240
By the way, if you don't get any benefits from vaccinating,
00:08:03.900
If you're still treated like a danger, if you still must quarantine,
00:08:06.760
if you still must wear a mask, if you still must go to COVID jails,
00:08:14.680
No federal law allows any government to mandate COVID-19 vaccine passports,
00:08:18.880
Privacy Commissioner Daniel Tyrion said yesterday.
00:08:21.720
So far, we have not been presented with evidence of vaccine effectiveness
00:08:31.180
Yeah, well, this whole last 14 months has been an encroachment on civil liberties, hasn't it?
00:08:38.120
Like this guy, New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs,
00:08:42.860
into whether COVID-19 vaccination could be a condition of employment
00:08:49.240
You know, New Brunswick has about 800,000 citizens.
00:08:53.960
And I checked, and every year about 8,000 people in New Brunswick pass away.
00:09:00.320
And since the entire pandemic began more than a year ago,
00:09:20.740
So almost 10,000 have died in New Brunswick since the pandemic began.
00:09:33.880
and they're now planning invasive public shaming and naming
00:09:36.880
of people who refuse to take the experimental drugs.
00:09:39.500
Oh, and how many of those deaths did the government itself cause?
00:09:49.580
Higgs says he doesn't regret rushing the program.
00:09:54.820
And how many deaths were caused by the overreaction
00:10:06.680
In Toronto, but also in Ottawa, too, and everywhere.
00:10:10.980
Opioid-related deaths in Ottawa nearly doubled during pandemic.
00:10:19.360
I told you about the government's plans to use their tracing app,
00:10:23.640
their cell phone COVID tracing app, for other purposes.
00:10:37.440
But there's a lot of things to be done in the name of the pandemic.
00:10:41.980
Too many opportunities, like voter fraud, for example.
00:10:48.460
could open the door to manipulation and election fraud,
00:10:56.200
So, yeah, we're not getting out of this pandemic anytime soon.
00:10:59.580
Oh, sure, they might lift their boot off of you
00:11:12.500
But mark my words, they'll be locking us back up in the fall.
00:11:18.620
The power, the money, the bullying, the name-calling.
00:11:23.420
The little prison guards within each bureaucrat and politician
00:11:28.060
and they've been having too much fun to go away now.
00:11:56.780
You know, the other day we had a general staff meeting.
00:12:01.260
And not just our Toronto people, but Drea and Matt from Vancouver,
00:12:33.080
is a Francophone Quebecer based in Quebec City.
00:12:43.540
And the plan is to have the same report done twice.
00:12:48.780
Once in English to tell us what's going on in Quebec.
00:13:07.600
including the words on the screen and stuff like that.
00:13:16.140
when we started to cover the lockdowns in Quebec.
00:13:28.000
So I don't have her on the line to interview her.
00:13:43.080
He did a short report, an update from Grace Life Church.
00:13:52.040
I want to show you what these new rebels are doing.
00:13:57.000
I'm going to be doing this for the rest of my life.
00:14:08.160
So let me show you a few videos you may have missed
00:14:21.520
and the web editors and the behind-the-scenes team, too.
00:14:30.700
And that's a great feeling to have a team of young people
00:14:34.540
So I'm actually going to say goodbye for a moment.
00:14:38.180
and then I'll come right back to read your mail.
00:15:11.060
Well, this protest, you guys, there's a little bit of misconceptions
00:15:30.060
is defending the rights and freedoms of all Canadians
00:15:34.820
I'm a firm believer that our rights and freedoms
00:15:39.860
but I believe humanity is on the cusp of becoming free,
00:15:56.920
It's beautiful to see humanity value these rights and freedoms
00:16:03.060
We've been standing peacefully for an entire year
00:17:02.600
I spoke about the urgent need for, like, businesses and school boards and event organizers
00:17:14.180
and charities who all step up to stand united together.
00:17:25.280
and what these governments are doing is a crime.
00:17:29.200
Lincoln J for Rebel News here in London, England,
00:17:35.940
to speak out against the measures imposed by politicians
00:17:41.560
and we're going to find out how the people really feel.
00:17:59.300
and be a good person at the same time doing it,
00:18:12.080
Just to demonstrate that we need to stand up for ourselves.
00:18:20.620
it's very important and we'd like to retain them.
00:18:33.160
I think we should be in control of our own health
00:18:57.840
I want to fight for the freedom of them and the future
00:19:01.540
with the masks and social distancing and everything.
00:19:15.200
So we're out here trying to protect our kids, really,
00:19:23.820
But I've been out on most of the freedom rallies
00:19:27.780
I've spoken to one of the ones in Trafalgar Square.
00:19:30.240
And now this is the first rally since the elections in London.
00:19:32.780
I want to come out and say that I'm still with everybody.
00:19:40.700
what has happened over the last year has been terrible.
00:19:48.780
and re-establish our society as it was and it should be.
00:20:03.000
Against all this government nonsense, isn't it, really,
00:20:20.840
We were sitting at home thinking we were all alone.
00:20:23.000
We were the only people that knew what was going on.
00:20:25.960
and we realised there's hundreds of thousands of us
00:20:30.040
So we decided we're going to come here and represent.
00:20:34.040
Yeah, I've had enough of all this silly rules and stuff.
00:20:37.020
And I think it's time that we stand up for our freedoms.
00:20:42.820
I've got two other kids as well, which are a bit older,
00:20:54.100
or are we not allowed to say what doesn't flow with the media?
00:21:02.680
Are you trying to say that COVID doesn't attack footballers,
00:21:08.740
but I'm just saying that God gave us a brain for a reason.
00:21:11.880
So you're not actually part of the protests here.
00:21:14.660
What do you think about the protests happening?
00:21:38.360
Actually, I really want people to join together
00:21:40.200
and know they have other people that feel the same way.
00:21:55.740
You know, they're the ones losing out like yourselves.
00:24:53.140
But you're going to see that you're not just creating stuff.
00:25:00.900
So there's the other side of the march across the streets.
00:25:55.060
Come on, you are not my master. My God is my master.
00:26:08.060
You're welcome to stay here as I'm staying here.
00:26:15.060
I'm not Mr. Pino. We're all equal. We're all equal, but we forgot about that.
00:26:27.060
Maybe one day you will wake up. I hope it's going to happen.
00:26:31.060
Kingdom of God is for everyone and for you too.
00:26:51.060
What do you mean? What do you mean? I won't cover this.
00:27:04.060
Hi guys. I'm here in Montreal and the amount of police passing by is unreal.
00:27:11.060
It's unreal. They're just passing by every few seconds as a cop.
00:27:17.060
I'm in my car because it is rainy. I'll be out soon, but I can try to stay as dry as I can for as long as I can.
00:27:25.060
I'll try to be out once 8 o'clock hits and there's actually action going on.
00:27:37.060
They're cracking down on juice tonight again. Third night in a row.
00:27:42.060
If you want to see more, go to LockdownReports.com. Thank you.
00:27:47.060
Let's go. Let's go. You don't move. You're not supposed to stay here.
00:28:20.060
I have some issues from the government to make classes.
00:28:28.060
There's a written organization saying that they're going to school.
00:28:51.060
Let's say, but if you don't have these written authorization,
00:28:57.060
If you or anyone you know received a COVID related fine, go to fightthefines.com and
00:29:12.060
It's just the fact that it's dangerous for the kids to just go around like this while
00:29:20.060
Just to make sure that we want the safety for everybody.
00:29:28.060
I'm going to need a driving license because you're the engine of the vehicle.
00:30:40.060
You put your car over there and you came to us.
00:30:43.060
And I'm telling you to give me your driving license.
00:30:48.060
And now I'm asking you to give me the paper of this vehicle.
00:31:01.060
If you don't give me the paper of this vehicle,
00:31:15.060
Are you going to give me the paper of the vehicle?
00:31:33.060
So you're trying to stop me from doing my work?
00:31:44.060
I'm defending you because you did an infraction with your car.
00:31:51.060
I just tell you because you did an infraction with your car.
00:31:54.060
I'm allowed to make a U-turn at the end of the street.
00:32:27.060
Well, make sure that you have the papers when you rent your car.
00:33:13.060
I'm gonna take the information on the computer.
00:33:30.060
So if you are no other person like that, you can go home.
00:33:42.060
If you like the work we're doing here, go to...
00:33:55.060
So, like I said, just a few minutes before you were...
00:34:06.060
If you like the work we're doing here, go to...
00:34:21.060
Before you were yelling and telling me why, why, why, why.
00:34:32.060
Just for you to know, to understand, this is an infraction.
00:34:43.060
So, it's having made noise by operating the motor of a road vehicle
00:34:54.060
So, it's your ticket, you have to be able to contest it.
00:35:20.060
But, you know, working with us and Sheila Gunn-Reed as our chief reporter really takes
00:35:32.060
Every day we are in this lockdown, my temptation to sell my home and move to Florida gets stronger
00:35:40.060
And Miami, I mean, it's a little bit hot, but the weather's great.
00:35:45.060
Republican mayor, Republican governor, maybe the Republican president will come from there.
00:35:52.060
I haven't left Canada since the lockdown because I just can't afford the two-week quarantine
00:36:09.060
We want to see their beautiful little faces and smiles.
00:36:12.060
But that's not just some, you know, luxurious choice we're making.
00:36:17.060
That is an essential thing about being a person, to look people in the eye, to see their face,
00:36:24.060
to go for nonverbal cues, to watch people as they talk, to learn how to be a person,
00:36:29.060
to show our face and to have others see ours and us to see theirs.
00:36:35.060
What we've done to the kids, I think, is the worst.
00:36:38.060
Not just young kids who I think are being taught bizarre lessons of being afraid of the world.
00:36:49.060
You know, there are times in your life that are just sort of wonderful moments that are now gone.
00:36:55.060
And the punishment that these other communities...
00:36:59.060
I mean, I said in my monologue about how opioid deaths are basically doubled everywhere.
00:37:05.060
These are all the forgotten people from these public health tyrants who have ruled the roost for over a year.
00:37:11.060
And I think they're finally sick of them in most of America.
00:37:14.060
But in Canada, these tyrants have never been stronger.
00:37:18.060
W.W. writes, they're going to let us loose for a bit and then snap the trap shot this fall with another surge.
00:37:24.060
Major lockdowns and then usher us all under emergency into the Great Reset.
00:37:30.060
Well, listen, Justin Trudeau himself has used that phrase.
00:37:40.060
You know, I started by quoting Tale of Two Cities.
00:37:43.060
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
00:37:50.060
You know, talking about the French Revolution, there were wonderful things and terrible things.
00:37:55.060
Where's the wonderful things about Canada and the pandemic?
00:38:00.060
I don't mean to be so depressing, but I'm just calling it like I say it.
00:38:05.060
Until then, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night.
