00:05:22.000Thanks for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brand and showing that as the world descends into chaos, we may elevate by accessing the light within.
00:05:30.000Ultimately, there is a powerful light within us that will allow us to transcend their narratives, that will allow us to flee their hell and find high ground together.
00:06:04.000As a kind of evangelical preacher, a shaman figure on the edge lands who moves between mystical proclamations, things that sound insane, but when you regard him in that light as a sort of a shamanic figure, it's a lens that I find helpful.
00:06:19.000Also, let's face it, a lot of things he was saying a long, long time ago have come to pass.
00:06:57.000If we are going to create some sort of unified global revolutionary movement where we transcend our cultural identities so that we can live in a unified decentralized world and depose these globalist establishment elites who are trying to destroy us, Then we're going to have to keep it together.
00:07:12.000Pretty clear that I've been talking to Alex Jones for a minute, isn't it?
00:07:47.000There, the eagle will deposit us in the great heights where we will be free from the flood, from the deluge, from the chaos that's falling down even now.
00:07:56.000Let's have a look at how that Republican debate went.
00:07:58.000Remember, if you're watching us on YouTube now, click the link in the description.
00:08:00.000After 15 minutes, we'll be on Rumble and we'll be talking about our Zelensky story there.
00:08:05.000Is he the last man standing in a sort of solo Truman show war where even the Biden administration admitted this thing cannot be won?
00:08:13.000Or, as anyone with an iota of common sense might say, you can't win wars against Russia.
00:08:28.000But when you're in the pincers of the establishment agenda, my God, God help us all.
00:08:34.000Let's have a look at how that Republican debate went and let us know what you want to see us discussing later in the show because we make this show, obviously, in conjunction with you.
00:08:42.000That's the whole point in free speech, so you can speak freely.
00:08:45.000First up, I want to see this craziness where they started.
00:09:40.000I think Vivek is an important voice for the future.
00:09:43.000Also what I like about Vivek is he shows you that you can bypass the legacy media and you can become politically relevant on alternative independent media.
00:09:51.000Independent media that is being destroyed, why?
00:09:53.000Because they don't want you thinking freely.
00:09:56.000The terrain of your consciousness is being colonized even now by the establishment.
00:10:09.000They fill your mind with nonsense and they separate you from your brethren, from your brothers and sisters around the world with whom you have more in common than all of those people that seek to govern.
00:10:18.000Let's have a look at Roseanne Barr telling you what the problem truly is.
00:11:57.000I tell you what, this is an interesting moment we're living in globally, whether it's the geopolitical crises unfolding all around the world or whether it's the fact that there ain't gonna never be another democratic election in your country where the losers say it was corrupt.
00:12:36.000Well that's funny Brian TWM, like you just put a word, a Y on the end of the word Hitler and I think we all know who he's referring to there.
00:12:45.000We've got a little story about that particular person if I'm right.
00:12:57.000All right, let's have a look at Vivek, because these new independent political figures, and I pray to God we see more of them, whether you agree with them or not, because some of you maybe think that Vivek is... I feel like I've seen people say, oh Soros, Vivek is Obama 2.0.
00:13:11.000I don't know, are you just saying that?
00:13:12.000saying that because he's charismatic and not white. What are you talking about there? I
00:13:15.000don't know. Why do you think that he's like Obama? Because we met him and I feel like
00:13:19.000he's a sincere dude. You don't have to agree with everybody.
00:13:22.000You don't have to, but you do have to love everyone. Okay, so Vivek's on the rise, RFK's
00:13:27.000on the rise. I know some of you people think RFK's not the answer because of his
00:13:31.000stance on Israel, but I mean, unless people that are not directly involved in the ideological
00:13:36.000and religious components of these conflicts start to pray for peace.
00:13:41.000Start to pray for a new system for all of us.
00:18:12.000This is leading towards, presumably, or do you think the whole thing's kind of circus and theatre, the candidacy for the Republican Party.
00:18:18.000Now, you know, that means potentially that one of these people will become President of the United States.
00:18:23.000Do you think this is the right energy?
00:18:25.000Does it feel to you, with, you know, potential war with China, Middle Eastern escalation, all of that stuff, Like, really, shouldn't it be sort of like, OK, now listen, what are we going to do?
00:18:35.000It should be quite sober, shouldn't it?
00:19:57.000...heavily in an industrial base so that we can hit our objectives from a military perspective, not only with... You don't sound actually like he believes that to me.
00:20:34.000I was the first presidential candidate to say, if you are here on a student visa as a foreign national, you're making common cause with Hamas, I'm canceling your visa and I'm sending you home.
00:22:50.000Okay guys, listen, there's 17,000 of you, or 16,999, look at the chat right now, I love that, we're right on the edge.
00:22:56.000Although I do freak out if it's ever 666, you know me, I'm superstitious about stuff like that.
00:23:00.000Right, if you're watching us on YouTube, I need you to click the link in the description right now to join us on Rumble because we're gonna show this moment where a Dutch MEP says that, well, he's revealing some stuff about the social IDs.
00:25:22.000They always promise us not to make this connection.
00:25:26.000And even a lot of experts, privacy experts and security experts, warned also last week this is a very bad idea for our privacy and our freedom.
00:25:42.000And still this digital identity is pushed through.
00:25:48.000But it's not too late, because we still have to vote on this in the plenary.
00:25:54.000So what you can do, send your MEP from your member state an email and tell him or tell her that you are against this tool.
00:26:08.000Someone in the chat saying good to see Peter Schmeichel getting involved.
00:26:20.000Whether it's CBDC's Or the WEF is saying they would want the ability to censor content that criticised their measures in the event of another pandemic.
00:26:33.000There's your kiss, G909090 on the rumble chat.
00:26:36.000There are all manner of global legislature being put forward and even when it happens at the level of our nation, like the censorship bills in Canada, here in our country, the UK, in the EU, in Ireland, it's clear That there is an agenda.
00:28:09.000Well, now, even Zelensky's inner circle are saying, like, it don't look likely that we can win a war against Russia, because Russia is Russia!
00:28:19.000That's why you can't win wars against Russia.
00:28:21.000When are you going to learn that lesson?
00:28:34.000So, now it seems like Zelensky, even though he's on the front of Time Magazine, or I think at least he was last week, it seems that he's in a kind of Truman World zone now, where the people around him are going, oh yeah, yeah, it's all cool, but the funding might be about to stop.
00:28:48.000He's been reduced to kind of Begging for money on the news.
00:28:51.000This is one of the things that shows you that the geopolitical globalist agenda is kind of a spectacle, a simulacrum.
00:28:57.000Press Y if you know it's like a simulacrum.
00:29:26.000Vladimir Zelensky has appeared on the cover of Time magazine, but privately his inner circle know that Ukraine cannot win a war against Russia.
00:29:33.000The Biden administration know that Ukraine cannot win against Russia.
00:29:36.000Is Vladimir Zelensky the only person in the world who doesn't know you can't win a war against Russia?
00:29:45.000As you apply celebrity to the world of politics, you find yourself in peculiar situations.
00:29:49.000From the beginning of this conflict, there was a drive to turn Vladimir Zelensky into a kind of celebrity, with him turning up at the Golden Globes, being on Letterman, being with his wife in Vogue magazine.
00:30:00.000Because it was necessary to have a central figure to represent the conflict between Ukraine and Russia that was affable and appealing to rally a population, I mean the American population, behind a very very expensive campaign that was escalating and many people said from the beginning one was provoked by NATO actions and And two, was unwinnable because Russia are a nuclear superpower and to beat Russia in a war you have to go beyond Russia's military capacity.
00:30:25.000And Russia's military capacity is quite high.
00:30:28.000You have to ban Russia today from the global internet, or at least platforms that are compliant in that kind of way, and you have to simplify a very complex situation.
00:30:37.000Ukraine, and of course I'm very supportive of Ukrainian people like I am of all the people of the world, all of us having our own right to live and our own right to freedom, Ukraine is a politically complex place.
00:30:46.000People understand that there's been a lot of corruption in Ukrainian politics.
00:30:48.000I'm not saying that it's worse than, I don't know, Britain or America or whatever.
00:30:51.000I'm saying that people used to commonly say, Ukraine's a bit shaky politically, so if you pump a bunch of money into that place, do be careful.
00:30:58.000It might not be easy to track and understand.
00:31:01.000Now, you know we make this show over on Rumble.
00:31:15.000Let's get into the celebratification of Vladimir Zelensky, the simplification of a complex war and how we're going to extricate ourselves from a very expensive and dangerous geopolitical situation now that it started.
00:31:30.000The strategy of this war this summer, and you reiterated It's a very modern and unusual war where media has been utilised in a very unusual way.
00:31:43.000Like, you don't normally see leaders on the TV turning up at the Golden Globe, Sean Penn giving an Oscar to a leader.
00:32:30.000I think what's happened is that Volodymyr Zelensky's had a kind of a Truman show created around him where he's been You're going to win this war, we're going to support you, we're going to give you military aid, 70% of which will end up going to military-industrial complex and many of the weapons might get lost elsewhere and not even make it to Ukraine.
00:32:45.000I feel that Volodymyr Zelensky has been a pawn in a much bigger game, to tell you explicitly what I think that game is, to drain the resources of Russia, to try to establish Ukraine as a kind of outpost of American an empire to create a sort of unipolar world where Russia
00:33:01.000and China get agitated into conflicts that are draining to benefit the military industrial
00:33:07.000complex by having long drawn out wars that don't have any realistic aim. I mean has anyone
00:33:12.000ever explained to you, right what'll happen is we'll do this, then this will
00:33:15.000happen, then Russia will surrender and the white flags will come out. You know, people have
00:33:18.000talked about regime change but there's no real plan for the point where Russia goes, well
00:33:22.000that is enough about that, you know, Russia are hard, they're built in war, the last century has
00:33:27.000been war for them, it's a different type of mentality.
00:33:30.000It's not something that's going to be easily resolved.
00:33:32.000And I think in turning Vladimir Zelensky into a kind of celebrity leader, which is extraordinary because, of course, he was an actor and comedian previously.
00:33:41.000He's been inundated with a version of reality that's kind of untenable, almost gaslit into believing this was a war that could be won.
00:33:49.000But how do you win a war against Russia?
00:33:52.000What surprises me is what a pundit or an uninformed person might think about going to war with Russia.
00:33:58.000Like, how are you going to win a war against Russia? They've got nuclear weapons,
00:34:00.000they've got a long history of winning wars against, like, formidable opponents like Napoleon and Hitler and stuff.
00:34:05.000How are you going to beat them in a war? Like, that seems to be bearing out. How has it happened?
00:34:10.000Well, it seems to me because there was a fictitious narrative created around this conflict from the beginning.
00:34:15.000A mobilization of the legitimate humanitarian crisis that was happening to Ukrainian people,
00:34:20.000which ignored the complexities of how the war actually started,
00:34:24.000NATO's impingement on former Soviet Union territories, the provocation of Vladimir Putin,
00:34:29.000and the fact that it's a war against an unbeatable opponent.
00:34:32.000If there is a question through society of United States about military and about something else, okay, let's co-produce it.
00:34:44.000The third one, if you can't give us some financial support, OK, OK, please, give us a credit, and we will give you back money after the war.
00:34:58.000For more military aid, a negotiation at the level of the media for more funding, even for it to become a debt rather than a donation.
00:35:09.000That's extraordinary actually and I suppose what Zelensky might be sensing is that the Biden administration are losing their appetite for the ongoing funding of this war, perhaps in favour of other potential conflicts in the Middle East, and increasing tensions with China.
00:35:24.000But it's a very unusual media appearance.
00:35:26.000Obviously at the beginning of this war, there was a great deal of goodwill
00:35:29.000and a lot of badges and stickers and all kinds of fanfare.
00:35:34.000But now I think people are exhausted and people are beginning to realise
00:35:36.000that their taxpayer dollars are being spent on a war that can't be won.
00:36:11.000After our win, you will see all these things.
00:36:14.000It's actually difficult not to feel a little sympathy for Volodymyr Zelensky, who I feel may have been used in a porn in a geopolitical game that far expands his understanding of that conflict.
00:36:26.000Since the Russia-Ukraine war began over 20 months ago, Western media has constructed and dutifully hewn to a series of narratives.
00:36:34.000Volodymyr Zelensky is a war hero and a resistance leader akin to Winston Churchill.
00:36:39.000Ukrainians are eager to volunteer for the war effort while Russians flee conscription.
00:36:44.000More money and weapons are all the Ukrainians need to retake the territory Russia has annexed.
00:36:49.000The West's interests lie in helping them achieve that grand victory rather than in pushing for a ceasefire and negotiated settlement.
00:36:56.000Facts are at odds with these narratives, such as that Ukraine has been taking unsustainable losses in combat, that we don't have enough artillery shells to adequately supply them, that the billions we've been sending to Ukraine are falling prey to corruption, have been dismissed as Putin talking points.
00:37:12.000The critics who point them out are attacked as Kremlin apologists.
00:37:16.000I think this is where the role of independent media becomes significant.
00:37:21.000Because now you will hear reports of corruption within Ukraine.
00:37:26.000You're continually invited to consider the complexity of even the humanitarian support of a nation under attack.
00:37:33.000That much of the military aid might end up in the wrong hands.
00:37:37.000If you're around my age you'll remember that the aid that was sent to Ethiopia during the famine potentially ended up in the hands of warlords.
00:37:45.000It's a complicated world and the attempts to simplify it in the interests of propaganda, and by propaganda I mean simplified narratives that advance the interests of the powerful, propagated by the mainstream media in order to dampen down conversation.
00:38:00.000Now the complexity is beginning to rear its head.
00:38:07.000There was provocation prior to the advent of this war.
00:38:11.000And now it seems like popular support is beginning to wane.
00:38:14.000The complexity can't be ignored, particularly with the kind of reporting that's available now.
00:38:19.000You can't maintain simple popular narratives that are meant to drive essentially what seems like a financial deal.
00:38:26.000All of which is why it was so extraordinary to read last week's cover story in Time magazine.
00:38:31.000Written by Simon Schuster, who previously wrote the article naming Zelensky's Times Person of the Year at the end of 2022, the piece is ostensibly another hagiography of Zelensky as the heroic figure forced to go it alone as times get tough and Western allies start to abandon him.
00:38:46.000But rather than shoring up Zelensky's standing in the West, it validates many of the criticisms made by those supposed Putin apologists.
00:38:54.000Only now those criticisms are being voiced by Zelensky's own aides and advisors inside the presidential palace.
00:39:00.000The narrative dam our media has built around the reality in Ukraine is apparently breaking wide open and the truth is finally spilling out.
00:39:10.000Kiev has long maintained that its definition of victory, namely the retaking of all Ukrainian territory including Crimea, is achievable with Western arms and money.
00:39:20.000Now, a disastrous summer counter-offensive, which has resulted in horrific Ukrainian casualties while reclaiming negligible amounts of territory, has Zelensky's advisors reconsidering whether those aims are realistic.
00:39:31.000Yet, Zelensky's belief in ultimate victory over Russia has only hardened into a form that worries some of his advisors, according to Shuster, who describes Zelensky's faith as immovable, verging on the messianic.
00:39:43.000In this context, messianic faith is perhaps ill-advised.
00:39:48.000What you start to wonder is, would a peace deal that was initially proposed and apparently on the table, prior to hostilities advancing to the degree that they have, have been much more favourable?
00:39:58.000I suppose if there are people within Zelensky's own government that are starting to talk about changing the aims, that's diplomacy, isn't it?
00:40:14.000This, of course, runs counter to all the propaganda pumped out by Ukraine and repeated by Western media sources.
00:40:20.000But increasingly, it's only Zelensky who still believes his own press clippings.
00:40:24.000And amidst all these military crises, it's certainly worth considering how safe you'll be if things escalate to the point where they affect us all.
00:40:32.000That's why it's an important time to mention the Wellness Company.
00:40:36.000Nearly 90% of pharmaceuticals in the US are produced abroad.
00:40:40.000In a global crisis, countries could restrict exports and stockpile medications.
00:40:44.000This, of course, can lead to raising drug prices and empty shelves across America.
00:40:49.000Statistically, you or a family member will likely need a prescription in the next year, regardless of supply chain issues.
00:40:56.000The wellness company's medical emergency kit offers you a solution to be prepared without paying thousands for a hospital visit.
00:41:02.000Their kit contains eight essential medications including antibiotics, antivirals and antiparasitics, including ivermectin.
00:41:10.000It's like having a pharmacy in your bathroom or wherever you need it.
00:41:13.000Visit twc.health forward slash brand to get your medical emergency kit.
00:41:18.000Use the code brand for a 10% discount at checkout.
00:41:21.000All right, let's get back to the conditions that mean that we will need a pharmacy in our kitchen, or bathroom, or wherever you're going to put it.
00:41:27.000Staggering casualties have decimated the Ukrainian army.
00:41:30.000Ukraine has refused to disclose casualty counts throughout the war, dismissing the increasingly credible reports of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian casualties as Russian propaganda.
00:41:39.000But another close aide to Zelensky tells Shuster that casualties are so horrific that even if the US and its allies come through with all the weapons that they've pledged, we don't have the men to use them.
00:41:49.000Schuster reports that in some branches of the military, the shortage of personnel has become even more dire than the deficit in arms and ammunition.
00:41:57.000According to the article, the average age of a currently serving Ukrainian soldier is 43 and getting older all the time.
00:42:04.000It appears the youth have already been sacrificed.
00:42:08.000Whilst in one regard this is a very modern war, with a leader being turned into a celebrity, with propaganda immersively used, social media talking points and campaigns being used to prevent counter-narratives emerging, the idea that you're a Putin-apologist if you dare to criticise the agenda of the establishment, it's also a normal war where in the end you run out of people.
00:42:31.000I mean, the analysis that was offered of Russia's ultimate victory over the Nazis, and I know there's a lot more military complexity than I'm able to offer you, was that in the end, Stalin had more men.
00:42:42.000Stalin will just keep throwing human beings relentlessly at the front.
00:42:55.000Another fact dismissed as a Putin talking point is that Ukrainians have had to resort to ever more draconian conscription policies to replenish their military's ranks.
00:43:03.000Shuster lays out the unpleasant reality.
00:43:08.000As conscription efforts have intensified across the country, Stories are spreading on social media of draft officers pulling men off trains and buses and sending them to the front.
00:43:17.000Those with means sometimes bribe their way out of service, often by paying for a medical exemption.
00:43:22.000The corruption became so widespread that Zelensky fired the heads of all the regional draft offices in August.
00:43:28.000But the move backfired as a lack of leadership brought new recruitment nearly to a halt.
00:43:32.000Sometimes I feel like you require an initial wave of optimism and positivity to deal with a very difficult situation.
00:43:39.000But in the end, the inevitability of reality has to be faced.
00:43:42.000It seems that there's just not enough people, not enough goodwill, not enough military support available, just not enough human beings to sustain an unwinnable war.
00:43:51.000And eventually that's going to have to be faced.
00:43:53.000And when that eventually is faced, questions like, was this a futile endeavour from the beginning?
00:43:58.000be answered. Should the diplomatic opportunities, the Minsk Accords, etc. have been accepted
00:44:03.000when they were a possibility? What was the point of the interceding years, the expenditure
00:44:07.000and the loss of human lives? Who really benefited?
00:44:10.000Morale is collapsing. Even patriots don't want to die serving as cannon fodder for a
00:44:15.000doomed military strategy. Within the officer ranks, there is growing dissension bordering
00:44:20.000One close Zelensky aide complained to Shuster that some frontline commanders have begun refusing orders to advance even when they come directly from the office of the president.
00:44:28.000It's in a very good cover piece that he's done for a Time magazine.
00:44:31.000Normally I was like, make me sound good, will ya?
00:44:39.000When Shuster asked a senior military officer about those complaints, the officer said that some officers have no choice but to refuse orders that are simply impossible.
00:44:48.000He told a story about an order in early October to retake the city of Holivka, a strategic outpost in eastern Ukraine that's been under Russian control for almost a decade.
00:44:58.000The answer came in the form of a question, writes Shuster.
00:45:02.000With no recruits and no artillery, Zelensky's dreams of driving the Russians from every inch of Ukrainian territory cannot be achieved.
00:45:09.000He can only fight futilely to the last Ukrainian, and there is a diminishing number of Ukrainians willing to die in the service of that strategy.
00:45:18.000It's long been a Putin talking point that Ukraine's government was shot through with corruption.
00:45:23.000And yet, Zelensky has been getting an earful about exactly that from its US and NATO allies, who don't want to see their billions of dollars in aid disappear into the pockets of corrupt officials.
00:45:32.000Zelensky has taken some actions, like the sacking of his Minister of Defence, Oleksii Rezhnikov, for corrupt procurement practices.
00:45:39.000But to really root out corruption, Zelensky will have to fire most of his government.
00:45:43.000A top presidential advisor admitted as much to the Shuster once his audio recorder had been shut off.
00:45:48.000People are stealing like there is no tomorrow.
00:45:50.000It sounds like a lot of people within Ukrainian government recognize that this is a doomed endeavor and see it simply as an opportunity for corruption and an opportunity to potentially make personal But when a war is presented in the simplistic terms and the peculiar Hollywood terms that this one was, ignoring nuance, ignoring complexity, the complexity of its origins, the complexity of the opponent, how else was it ever going to end?
00:46:15.000Sooner or later, reality comes to the surface.
00:46:17.000Nobody believes in our victory like I do, Zelensky told Time, in what became the pull quote for this cover story.
00:46:22.000He may have to read Schuster's piece to see just how right he is, as he seems surrounded by aides who no longer believe in Ukraine's war strategy or Zelensky's leadership of it.
00:46:31.000Zelensky no doubt intended the quote as a Churchillian never-surrender, exhortation to courage and resolve in the face of Ukraine's darkest hour, rather than as an admission of delusional optimism.
00:46:42.000Yeah, his dogmatic insistence on total victory and refusal to consider peace negotiations belie a loss of touch with reality that ought to worry both his countrymen and allies.
00:46:51.000It must be an incredible situation to be in, to have been a popular leader, fated by the global media and establishment ...funded in a war against a superior opponent, and then to watch that erode with the kind of inevitability that is underscored, I suppose, by deals with Blackrock after the war.
00:47:11.000And when you sort of see how Zelensky's talking on Meet the Press or whatever that propagandist piece he was trying to rally on, where he's saying, you know, we can just borrow that, we'll just borrow the money, we'll give you the money back, you'll be able to rebuild Ukraine.
00:47:23.000It seems like there was an odd collision of the war being presented as a humanitarian effort plucky Ukraine versus evil Russia and over time you can't
00:48:04.000But what it's not going to be, I don't imagine, is a resounding and surprising victory for
00:48:08.000Ukraine against the superior military might of Russia.
00:48:11.000To be sure, Zelensky is not alone in his refusal to face reality.
00:48:15.000The Biden administration has proposed another $61 billion for Ukraine's war effort without explaining how this would produce a different result than the $100 billion already appropriated.
00:48:25.000That's been an extraordinary feature of this war, isn't it?
00:48:27.000Asked on the basis of kind of Kindness and support and loyalty and important values to continue to support this war.
00:48:33.000But no one ever explains, look, all we have to do really is retake this area or win this strategic battle.
00:48:39.000No one can say that because I think actually the independent media take, which is, hold on a minute, they're just using this war to siphon money towards the military industrial complex and drain Russia, knowing ultimately it's an unwinnable war.
00:49:01.000He's just been chewed up by the machine, hasn't he, Zelensky?
00:49:03.000Like, a career politician like Joe Biden will just say whatever's necessary when it's necessary to say it, and when it's necessary to say something else, like, we're not supporting Ukraine anymore, he'll say that.
00:49:14.000They're incredible at managing those situations.
00:49:16.000Just notice that prior to this war, The idea of provoking Russia was just overtly described as unfeasible because it could lead to World War 3.
00:49:24.000And now we find ourselves in this situation or Saudi Arabia will be a pariah.
00:49:41.000He's just been sucked into it and it's just like he's a convenient component for a while and he'll be spat We're the United States of America, for God's sake.
00:49:48.000of the establishment when it's convenient to do so.
00:49:50.000But it's becoming increasingly clear that the US is in no position to deliver on that
00:50:00.000Remember on 60 Minutes when Biden goes, we're the United States for Christ's sake, biggest
00:50:03.000country in the world, best country in history.
00:50:05.000We're the United States of America for God's sake.
00:50:08.000The most powerful nation in the history, not in the world, in the history of the world.
00:50:12.000Well, you know, in the end, reality becomes unignorable.
00:50:16.000Alone among his team, Zelensky seems not to understand how circumstances have changed.
00:50:21.000Shuster and Time try their best to portray him as the last stalwart of the Ukrainian cause, but the fact that his own inner circle is the source of the torrent of revelations and complaints suggests that his immovability owes not to Churchillian resolve, but rather to an impervious bunker mentality.
00:50:38.000So this Times story, which in a way is the apex of turning Zelensky from a politician into a celebrity, even though he was a celebrity before he was a politician, seems to be revealing what many people long suggested.
00:50:49.000People like Jeffrey Sachs and other academic analysts said Ukraine can't win a war against Russia.
00:50:56.000What's happening here is opportunistically Zelensky and Ukraine are being exploited probably to trial weapons so that Blackrock can do deals in some sort of subsequent rebuilding and he'll be used as a kind of celebrity of the day while it's convenient and discarded when the war is regarded as unwinnable or no longer useful or has expired as something to galvanize public opinion or legitimize the use of taxpayer dollars and the funneling of taxpayer dollars towards the military-industrial complex.
00:51:24.000Zelensky is probably a man with integrity even though there are a lot of stories that elections are being suspended and that there's a lot of corruption within Ukraine and that his military strategies aren't working.
00:51:34.000Seems to me that this is what happens when war is simplified, when war is used to galvanize public opinion and to redistribute Public resources.
00:51:44.000In the end you have to face reality that a war against Russia is a very very serious proposition.
00:51:50.000You can't ignore Russia's count and narratives any more than you can ignore their counter-offensives simply by banning Russia Today from YouTube.
00:52:00.000Russia is a massive country with nuclear arms, a long, powerful, significant military history, with historic ties to Ukraine that they were willing to negotiate a diplomatic solution to, which increasingly seems favourable now that the propaganda is starting to dissipate.
00:52:17.000and global attention is starting to turn to other potentially lethal apocalypse inducing wars and Zelensky alone on the cover of Time magazine is left pleading for more time.
00:54:19.000So, listen, I mentioned about Joe Biden going back to Scranton, which, Scranton is where the office is, right?
00:54:25.000Let's have a look what it's like when he goes back to Scranton.
00:54:28.000Scranton, Pennsylvania, outside the childhood home of President Joe Biden.
00:54:32.000On election day in 2020, he came back here, went inside, and wrote a message on one of the walls that simply said, from this house to the White House.
00:54:39.000He's up for reelection again in 2024, so we decided to come here to Scranton, his hometown, walk the streets, and ask the people here what they really think about their president.
00:55:19.000I think that'd be quite nice, all the little stories about Amtrak and, oh, the mayor's here, he's gonna tell that story again about that fire and everything.
00:57:27.000People would get legitimately elected.
00:57:31.000And then they would try to do away with elections, and do away with opposition, and do away with a free... We already kind of have that anyway, it doesn't matter, does it?
00:58:07.000I'm just saying that Hillary Clinton is the kind of centralist establishment politician that leads us into limitless wars, that represents the interests of the powerful, uses the language of liberalism, of compassion, only to augur and bring about more oppression, more war, more violence.
01:00:18.000this is the uh the way they're trying to get around the the the indemnity that government gave them but the government's gonna ah defective to get around the indemnity fascinating oh god help us all now we've been sent some interest i'll watch the end of it probably end up paying for this it's going to cost you and me a fortune Of course we'll end up paying for it.
01:00:38.000We pay for the development of the vaccine.
01:04:30.000Also, Specialist Cecilia says, have you seen the redacted video where hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers are giving up and joining the Russians?
01:05:05.000It's not really just about... I suppose what frames the chat is the idea that our culture doesn't have a place for yogis and mystics and evangelists and What a lot of Alex is doing is he's pulling in information from a wide variety of places.
