Alex Newman of The New American and The Liberty Sentinel and The Epoch Times joins me to discuss how COVID is being used to install tyranny, big tech censorship, the deep state, and how Joe Biden is helping the Russians by vowing to cancel fracking.
00:05:05.800You know, we get visitors from California or other states and like, well, you can go to restaurants and you don't have to put a diaper on your face and you can go to church and nobody's social distancing.
00:06:52.240It's now been translated into I don't know how many languages.
00:06:54.420Showing the medical component, the ethical component, the legal component, and showing that the so-called cure for the coronavirus, really tyranny, is infinitely more dangerous and infinitely more harmful than the supposed problem that it's taken care of.
00:07:13.140And they talk about the religious persecution, the health damage that these lockdowns are doing, the fact that so many people are not able to get medical care.
00:07:22.320And, of course, he's being censored for this.
00:07:24.640But I would really hope that people would go take a look at this, especially people who maybe have been watching too much television and they're convinced that we need tyranny to protect us from COVID.
00:07:39.580And I think at this point it really should be clear that the cure, so-called, is far, far worse than the disease.
00:07:46.440You know, nobody really talks about that, the suicides due to, you know, extreme isolation and the, especially for men, economic crisis is a suicide trigger for men.
00:08:00.540But we're not supposed to talk about men's mental health because, you know, ew, ew, icky, toxic masculinity.
00:08:08.820And they don't also talk about the drug overdoses.
00:08:11.880Again, a lot of this stuff is triggered by loneliness.
00:08:14.900And, you know, we're worried about, and I mean, every person who dies, that's, you know, an image bearer of the divine and their life is valuable.
00:08:44.020I mean, if you're four or five years old, you spent the last year separated from normal people, which means some of your earliest memories are having to wear a mask and being told not to hug your little friends.
00:09:00.280And if you just look at the data component of it and you realize that these aren't just numbers, these are people's lives, you realize we are witnessing the unfolding of a tragedy that is almost unprecedented in human history.
00:09:11.580If you look at the American numbers, 50 million people lost their jobs in the early part of the lockdown in the United States.
00:09:20.120That's about a third of our workforce.
00:09:47.060So that Jeff Bezos could double his net worth while he's using the Washington Post, which he bought up to promote this lockdown hysteria, to promote the demonization of people like my governor who refused to cave on this.
00:10:19.760Children are being traumatized in a way that I think nobody could have imagined before this COVID.
00:10:25.980And then you multiply this tragedy by billions of people all over the world.
00:10:30.720And you realize the people responsible for this are criminals of the highest order, Sheila.
00:10:36.720Yeah, we've seen some numbers come out of Canada for hospitalizations and incidents of like infants who are turning up in emergency rooms with injuries related to child abuse.
00:10:51.080And that's that number has skyrocketed and it's due to isolation, segregation of families and the fact that we're telling people don't come to the hospital because the hospitals are overwhelmed.
00:11:06.260And so and kids are not in school, well, where I am, kids are in school, but in a lot of places, kids aren't in school.
00:11:12.760So there isn't that mandated reporter, that teacher, that person who can see that the child is being abused at home.
00:11:21.320Yeah, and we need to realize, too, Sheila, this is a means to an end.
00:11:25.820I believe the suffering that has been imposed on the people of the world, not just Canada, not just most of the American states, but Europe and Australia and all over the world, we're seeing this tyranny.
00:11:40.960And if you listen carefully, the totalitarians will tell you what that end goal is.
00:11:45.760They want people to be absolutely desperate for a return to normalcy.
00:11:50.860They want people to be willing to give up anything for a return to normalcy.
00:11:54.660And so now we see organizations like the World Economic Forum, led by Klaus Schwab, saying that, oh, by 2030, you will own nothing.
00:12:02.040OK, how are you going to take all my property?
00:12:04.480Right. I'm not going to give you my property.
00:12:06.020They know that if people get desperate enough after a year of this craziness, people will be ready to do anything, to give up any freedoms for even a return to a semblance of normalcy.
00:12:17.180So we need to realize there is an objective in mind.
00:12:19.960They're actually talking about the objective now.
00:12:25.920This is the same language coming out of the United Nations, out of the British prime minister, out of the Canadian prime minister, out of Biden.
00:12:31.580This is a global worldwide effort to radically transform society, to completely undermine individual liberty and to rebuild in a totalitarian fashion, very much along the lines of communist China.
00:12:46.000And we're seeing this now here, even in some of our freer states.
00:12:49.680I was just interviewing an activist and he was telling me about what's happening in Georgia now.
00:12:53.700They're putting up in some cities these cameras connected to an artificial intelligence system that will determine whether the slaves are violating COVID mandates, if they don't have their face diapers on, if they're closer than six feet.
00:13:07.980That sounds just like the Chinese social credit system.
00:13:21.320And it's going to get worse, folks, if we don't stand up and demand a return to our freedom and a return to sanity.
00:13:29.500That's a great segue that you brought up, China, because I want to talk to you about your work on how the Chinese state has infiltrated the mainstream media in the West.
00:13:43.880And that's something that we don't hear a lot about.
00:13:47.340But, you know, when you are consuming mainstream media and they are not critical of China, there's a big reason for that.
00:13:57.400And I actually just did a very big investigative report for the New American magazine, focusing on communist Chinese infiltration of everything.
00:14:05.980They've infiltrated our militaries, our defense contractors, our embassies, pharmaceutical companies, including all the big vaccine manufacturers that are peddling these COVID vaccines.
00:14:42.320Well, now we know we've got documents proving that communist China is funneling millions of dollars to our media.
00:14:51.520They're flying American journalists to China and whining and dining them.
00:14:55.560So there's several parts to this story.
00:14:57.380But I'll start with the filings under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.
00:15:02.760It's an act that we have here in the United States that requires agents of foreign governments, including Americans, to register and to file disclosures with the Department of Justice.
00:15:12.800So you have companies and foundations that are agents of communist China operating here in the United States, filing disclosures about what they're doing.
00:15:20.600One of the things that they're doing, they're targeting journalists.
00:15:23.920They were paying tens of thousands of dollars to an American lobbying company called BLJ, and they are grooming them.
00:15:31.960They're flying them to China and introducing them to senior officials.
00:15:34.800They're doing the same thing with our politicians, by the way.
00:15:37.300The organization responsible for this is the China-United States Exchange Foundation, CUSF.
00:15:42.780And it is actually founded by a guy who works for the United Front Department, which is the agency of the Chinese regime that handles overseas influence operations.
00:15:52.800So the communist Chinese government is taking our journalists, flying them to Beijing, flying them to Shanghai, treating them like royalty.
00:15:58.620Then they come back and they're bragging in their disclosures about how, in exchange for this, we got great articles, great opinion pieces in major newspapers.
00:16:08.000And there's another component to this where communist China has set up a propaganda organ in the United States.
00:16:23.060It's well documented in its public record.
00:16:25.500And in their Farah disclosures, they admit that they are funneling millions of dollars directly to America's media.
00:16:33.360So they've sent millions of dollars to The Wall Street Journal, to The New York Times, to The Washington Post, to The Los Angeles Times, to The Chicago Tribune.
00:16:40.280And in exchange, they're getting propaganda pieces appearing in these newspapers that look just like news articles, Sheila.
00:16:46.800They look just like any other article.
00:16:48.460And then in the bottom, in tiny print, they say, this is a sponsored article or something like that.
00:16:58.540They don't even realize they're reading Chinese propaganda.
00:17:01.060And then we've got a 2018 report from the Defense Department, the U.S. Defense Department, that says that communist China, through subsidiaries, is even buying up radio stations in America and broadcasting communist Chinese propaganda without even disclosing that these subsidiaries are owned by the Communist Party of China.
00:17:19.820So why are we not hearing about all this stuff in the media?
00:17:22.520It's because the media is compromised, Sheila.
00:17:25.000You know, at least the Chinese have to go through that separate level in America of having to buy off the media.
00:17:33.160In Canada, they don't have to do that.
00:17:35.600They just directly infiltrate the political structures.
00:17:39.540I mean, we get news releases from the Canadian government saying that Canada and China agree to work together to advance climate action and clean growth.
00:17:50.800China, the world's largest consumer of coal.
00:17:53.200And yet, not that I have a problem with coal, but the liberals keep telling me there's a big problem with coal.
00:17:59.720But, I mean, this is the continual whitewashing of China on the world front by the Canadian government.
00:18:06.920So, you know, at least in the United States, there's that extra level of hoops they have to jump through and money they have to spend in Canada.
00:18:14.720I wanted to talk to you about, and I know this wasn't on the list of things we talked about, but because that's how I came to know you, was at the UN Climate Change Conference.
00:18:28.860And I wanted to talk to you a little bit and just sort of get your opinion on Biden's cancellation of Keystone XL.
00:18:36.720I'm not entirely convinced that Biden even knows that that cross-border section is even in the ground.
00:18:43.240I don't think he realizes that, that it's, Doug, it's like eight feet under the ground.
00:19:16.640But what's happening is actually a full court press against American energy and American energy independence.
00:19:22.920He couldn't do a better job of supporting hostile dictatorships and communist China if he was a member of the CCP trying to support communist China.
00:19:32.780Our gasoline prices, they went from $2 here in Florida when Trump left office.
00:19:36.600They were $2.50 yesterday when I drove past the gas station.
00:19:40.520So they've gone up 50 cents just in that tiny period since Biden's been in office.
00:19:45.620But really, this ties right into communist China as well.
00:19:48.220So the Keystone XL pipeline, it was a fiasco.
00:19:50.500You know, just completely eliminated tens of thousands of high-paying, middle-class jobs that were contributing to Canadian security, American security, energy security.
00:20:01.880And, I mean, unbelievable he would do that.
00:20:08.940I'll give you the Paris Agreement as an example.
00:20:10.680And it goes right along with this China stuff.
00:20:12.320You and I were in Paris when they were negotiating this abomination.
00:20:14.940And what it does, and all you have to do is read the thing to see what it does, is it transfers American productive capacity over to China.
00:20:24.720Because under the Paris Agreement, they agreed that America was going to slash CO2 emissions by 30%.
00:20:29.560As Obama explained, under my policies, energy prices are necessarily going to skyrocket.
00:20:35.700And we've lost so many businesses already.
00:20:37.740But what is an American business that needs energy, that needs to be able to operate without hiring an army of attorneys and accountants and compliance officers supposed to do when energy prices are skyrocketing in America, when the regulatory environment is becoming more and more oppressive?
00:21:23.200But when you have America, the U.S. government, deliberately shuttering our businesses, knowing full well that those businesses are just going to move over to China, all that CO2 is still going to be released, plus a whole lot of real pollution, you realize this is not about the climate.
00:21:37.860If these people believed this was about the climate, they'd be just as concerned about Chinese CO2 emissions as they are about American CO2 emissions.
00:21:45.980So we know this is not about the climate.
00:21:47.980This is about shutting down what remains of our economy, destroying our middle class and boosting communist China.
00:21:54.300You know, that is a really great point about how this is just serving to kneecap American manufacturing that was experiencing a renaissance under Trump.
00:22:05.920We saw the exact same thing play out in Ontario, which is where our manufacturing hub here is in Canada, or it was, until they brought in all these green policies.
00:22:15.980That severely harmed the manufacturing sector, and a lot of those businesses moved offshore, ultimately to China, where you can basically do whatever the heck you want and pay slave wages there if they're paying people at all, in the case of the Uyghurs and, I suppose, Nike.
00:22:33.560And, you know, I bet there's a lot of unions right now who are experiencing buyer's remorse for supporting the Democrats when, I mean, I think this is the same all over.
00:22:47.960The union leadership are dyed-in-the-wool Democrats and Democrat supporters, but the union membership, the Joe Lunchbox crowd, they're more often than not Republicans.
00:23:03.020And somewhere along the way that switch was made, that, you know, the Democrats used to be or they used to claim to be the party of the working man, but now they're just the party of the elites, and the working man party is the Republican Party.
00:23:16.320That's exactly right, Sheila, and a lot of union leaders have spoken out about this, probably because they need to.
00:23:22.040But, you know, for generations now, the communists have understood the power of hijacking our labor unions because it means big money that they can use to buy politicians, and it means massive amounts of influence in terms of votes.
00:23:34.540So, yes, you know, the union bosses will pay some lip service, oh, we support the working man, but in reality, what they're doing is funneling money that they've extracted from hardworking middle-class Americans into the campaign coffers of radical, radical totalitarians who oppose everything that their membership stands for.
00:23:52.820It's a tragedy. It's an atrocity. There is now more and more resistance against the unions.
00:23:59.020In fact, we've seen lawsuits now, even the teachers' union. We had a wonderful teacher in California, Rebecca Friedrichs, who actually serves on the board of an organization that we founded.
00:24:08.600She sued the National Education Association all the way up to the Supreme Court and won.
00:24:11.980She said, look, they're taking my money out of my paycheck, and they're using it to support candidates and policies that I find horrifying.
00:24:18.520How can they do this? And the Supreme Court ruled, nope, they can't do that to you, but it's a long fight ahead.
00:24:23.980You know, for a long time, a lot of our union leaders were anti-communists, and they did support the working class people.
00:24:29.240They truly were interested in higher wages and so on, and so they supported proper border enforcement so we wouldn't have a flood of cheap, unskilled labor to undercut American wages.
00:24:38.600But not anymore. Most of the union leadership today, unfortunately, is completely hostile to the American workers they supposedly represent.
00:24:46.900You know, as you were talking about Keystone XL, I was jotting some notes down because you were talking about how it helps China.
00:24:53.720But if you want to talk about Russian collusion, nothing helps Russia more and Gazprom more than banning fracking, and that is definitely a Joe Biden agenda.
00:25:05.720You are exactly right, Sheila. And actually, at the last climate summit, that's one of the things that we made a big issue.
00:25:12.520We had found out that the Russian regime, the Kremlin and Gazprom, were funneling Russian oil money into a shadowy shell corporation based in Bermuda called Klein Limited.
00:25:24.340And this is all the paper trail is all there. Our Congress actually discovered this.
00:25:28.440And of course, the fake media didn't say a word about it because they were trying to spin conspiracy theories about Trump supposedly being in bed with the Russians when really it was the American environmental groups.
00:25:37.420And so the Kremlin and Gazprom are funneling money to this shell corporation in Bermuda, and then the shell corporation in Bermuda was funneling it to the Sea Change Foundation in America, which was then distributing it to all these astroturf groups like the Climate Action Network and all the rest of it.
00:25:53.520And all these dumb environmental groups, all these pseudo grassroots groups were out there saying, we want oil in the ground.
00:26:00.060Well, who does that benefit? Of course, it benefits Putin and Gazprom in terms of keeping Europe under control and dependent on Russian energy in terms of boosting Russian exports, which for Russia, that's a huge percentage of their GDP and their foreign money coming into the Treasury.
00:26:14.120So I'm so glad you brought that up. You know, when they talk about Russia collusion, we ought to hold a mirror right up to their face.
00:26:21.420And I talked to a whole bunch of the guys. I talked to the Russian team that was at the U.N. summit.
00:26:26.200I talked to the activists that were receiving Russian money through Klein Limited and Sea Change Foundation.
00:26:30.840Nobody wanted to talk about it, but the paper trail is all there. Our Congress released a report about it.
00:26:35.740And these people, I think, ought to be exposed and held accountable.
00:26:38.820Yeah. I mean, think about the hundreds of thousands of jobs in America that the Russians could kill by funding and the entire anti-fracking movement.
00:26:52.140And yet the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about it and the Democrats don't want to talk about it because it's their own voter base that's rallying against fracking.
00:27:00.700Now, I wanted to talk to you very quickly about big tech censorship.
00:27:05.980I think we're in for a rough road for the next four years, specifically people like you and I who do a lot of our work on the Internet.
00:27:15.820And that's where a lot of people find us. I think our job going forward is going to be a lot harder.
00:27:21.800Mine probably even more so since in Canada, our government has recently announced, I guess, a ministry of truth, a whole new bureaucracy directed at Internet censorship.
00:27:33.120They use the words social media violence. Social media is the Internet.
00:27:38.660Violence is a thing that you do offline. And somehow they've conflated the two to mean, I don't know, mean tweets, which I mean, I'll be straight in the gulag because of that.
00:27:50.280But for me, I think that's cool. We'll start a band.
00:27:57.320But I think that's one of the major failings of President Trump is that he did not deal with these social media companies and trust bust the daylights out of them while he had the chance.
00:28:09.340And I think in reaction to Trump basically using the Internet to win the presidency, he should have known that that's what they were going to do to cut him off at the knees in 2020.
00:28:23.480Yeah, I agree with you 100 percent, Sheila. Trump really should have taken stronger action.
00:28:28.680He did what he could within the limits of his executive authority.
00:28:31.400He passed a really great executive order, but, you know, he was very limited in terms of what he could do as long as Congress wouldn't act.
00:28:38.460And unfortunately, even when the Republicans were in charge of our House and our Senate, the ones in charge of those Republicans were backstabbing, big government loving, anti-Constitution, rhinos, we call them, Republicans in name only.
00:28:51.920So they kept funding Planned Parenthood, the abortion group.
00:28:54.720They kept funding all of the crazy things that the federal government does.
00:31:48.220It's called Deep State, the Invisible Government Behind the Scenes.
00:31:51.680And actually, I've been working on this for a couple of years now.
00:31:55.500So the first part of the book, I identified the different organizations that are kind of above ground and below ground that are involved in this.
00:32:02.280We've got some of the Canadians will recognize, like the Bilderberg Group.
00:32:05.960We've got different secret societies that are increasingly being exposed.
00:32:10.900Talk about the bureaucracy and the intelligence agencies.
00:32:13.480They really came out of the closet during the Trump years.
00:32:15.320And they just openly started waging warfare on America, on the Constitution, on the elected president of the United States.
00:32:24.600I've actually got a chapter on how the deep state in the United States, in London, helped build up communist China into the global threat that it is today.
00:32:34.260This was not a successful example of communism.
00:32:37.080This was deliberate collaboration by very powerful people in Washington, D.C., in Canada, in France, in Britain, and in Germany that deliberately built up this monster.
00:33:08.160And if you're willing to cover the shipping, I can ship it up to Canada.
00:33:11.140If not, you can get a digital version on Amazon.
00:33:13.520And I do hope people will get it just because, you know, Sun Tzu, the amazing Chinese military strategist, so much wisdom in his book, The Art of War.
00:33:22.620One of the things that he explained is if you don't know yourself and you don't know your enemy, you're going to lose every single battle.
00:33:28.240And that's where a lot of Americans and Canadians are right now.
00:33:39.800And we certainly don't know who the enemy is, the deep state that wants to take our freedoms,
00:33:43.300that wants to merge us into this crazy global system that looks a lot like communist China.
00:33:47.780So what Sun Tzu said is if you know yourself and you know your enemy, you need not fear the result of 100 battles.
00:33:54.760And this book is designed to make sure that we know our enemy, that we know who they are, how they operate, and how we can successfully resist.
00:34:03.460It's been selling like crazy, and that brings me great joy, not because I'm earning a lot, but because the truth is getting out there.
00:34:10.000And so thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak about it, Sheila.
