00:21:21.140George Manuel wasn't a militant but he wasn't a typical politician either.
00:21:25.380when you find 90 of our indian people in canada who are in welfare people who are starving in a
00:21:38.380very rich country in canada is to me is a form of subtle genocide yeah i was looking at right now
00:21:47.680like i'm seeing a lot of the um liberals and the ndp who are decrying that they were even doing
00:21:53.920this because they're saying how dare you surveil these indigenous leaders with wiretaps informants
00:22:00.960infiltrations arrest and everything of that nature but uh yeah they're finding just corruption all
00:22:07.120the way down in this place it's all that's why when you're dealing with these people are they
00:22:12.960even good at marshalling for their own interests the only thing they're very good at is a relatively
00:22:18.960small amount of them showing up to blockade a highway to protest a pipeline right and committing
00:22:25.880sort of various but limited direct actions in that interest but i'm like other than that like
00:22:32.760they're not even very good at collectivizing for their own interests what are they going to do
00:22:36.120how are we going to what can we use them for the ones that like i'm saying the ones that are there
00:22:42.320that are actually interacting with larger society don't represent the rest of them that we seem to
00:22:47.240be talking about when we say them in quotes right like they're not there which is to say they're not0.96
00:22:51.840a fucking people they're just pretending to be a people because that's the language that we use0.82
00:22:55.940when we're distributing money so yeah and also we we don't want to celebrate the rcmp too much1.00
00:23:02.680around here i probably we're probably going to get inundated with like they you know it's good
00:23:08.220that they are wiretapping these people i'm like no well they'll be wiretapping us tomorrow i'm sure
00:23:13.280Yeah. I wanted to have a couple things to get to before we get to anything that anyone's going to care about.
00:23:22.660I wanted to update you if you haven't heard about this and why would you the latest twisted development of what the white collar race are dealing with right now.0.81
00:23:38.440i've noticed something while in job postings and becoming more and more apparent as we keep
00:23:46.340applying for jobs and i don't know how long this has been going on but i haven't really seen it
00:23:50.780before like over the past year or so it's the fractional executive and they're listing jobs0.83
00:23:58.580as like fractional executive like what the fuck does that sound like well it is what it sounds
00:24:03.580like um it's like they want an executive like a c-suite executive someone with experience0.89
00:24:11.020director level vp level something like that but they say well here's what we do we just want to
00:24:18.140contract you which i never really seen before because usually at a vp level director level
00:24:24.220you're just offered a job and you're offered a job with some sort of stability benefits maybe it's
00:24:31.500a commission bonus this at this level this is where bonuses start to matter you know this is
00:24:36.460where you get into like six figures and things like that and i'm seeing more companies they're
00:24:41.900not even willing to offer those jobs they're trying to be like well it's just going to be
00:24:46.700in a contract basis and we're just gonna pay you like as a contractor would accept
00:24:53.340as i'm sure you're aware of like if you give someone a full-time job you can pay them
00:25:00.700less of a salary but build in things like benefits and the stability is part of it
00:25:07.100meaning that if i if i go into this as a contractor i'm going to be charging you more
00:25:12.300because we're both under the the agreement that this is short term but you're paying for to get
00:25:18.380something done fast and you know that's there there's no guarantee there's no stability i'm
00:25:25.500only as good as the last thing that i do for you there's no room for failure or you know
00:25:31.500miscommunication everything is more strenuous and stressful and so usually people charge more
00:25:38.380that's just what it is um but i'm seeing neither of those things i think they want to pay you less
00:25:45.660and then it's it's people they can't afford to bring someone in it's it's you're seeing the
00:25:51.420a gigification of like higher level vp and director stuff that what seems obvious to me
00:25:59.080about that is it's a tacit admission that executive rules are totally decoupled from
00:26:05.840the function that they used to serve at a firm like it used to be that executive people in
00:26:10.780executive roles were deeply enmeshed in the company they were committed to a certain project
00:26:16.960or to a certain operation within the company.
00:26:20.560And that over time, these roles have essentially become a token
00:26:23.960that the board can trade back and forth in a kind of corporate power politics0.99
00:26:29.020that bears no relation to what goes on at the actual fucking company.0.96
00:26:33.400It's just, and you can see that with executive turnover, right?0.97
00:26:36.620You have this guy's at this firm and then two years later he's at this firm0.95
00:56:18.800and then he's talking about the old testament you know i mean but it's a it's not about chinese
00:56:25.200stuff it's about like weird white guy stuff yeah which that's what was shocking to me but he's
00:56:32.800doing it he's doing it in a way that i think reads as intelligent people someone did a great summary
00:56:40.100of it which is like we've been using tanks for hundreds of years but tanks have one and he writes
00:56:47.320the word tanks on the board in a purposefully messy doctor-like way but the tanks always had
00:56:53.000one weakness anti-tank missiles raise it up and it circles it three times and then the comment
00:57:00.120is like this is like receiving a university education for free thank you professor jang
00:57:05.280but that's that's what works i guess i don't know if like i'm not surprised by it
00:57:14.080So what I would do is basically sit down everyone, including Russia, China, Iran, and say, it's time for a new world order where we are partners in this relationship.
00:57:28.700Before America was a hegemon, before the U.S. dollar was a world reserve currency.
00:57:32.460But now what we want to do is open a dialogue where everyone is respected, where America is no longer the bully, but a willing partner in creating a new economic order that benefits everyone and not just a few.
00:57:50.880Where would you say the part of the world that's most hostile to Western civilization, as you just described it, is?
00:57:58.420Well, I would say Canada, Britain, Western Europe. I would say these places are the most hostile towards Western civilization. Chinese people have tremendous respect for Western civilization. In fact, China's in the process of promoting the classics.
00:58:21.780i don't want to just call people dumb but you can measure someone's grasp of what they
00:58:30.420advocate for in an interview setting and like when i see him talk about what's wrong with the0.73
00:58:36.860world and he's like well what we what we need is america to share they need to share the piece
00:58:41.920selling to like tucker carlson who's just a dopey puppet these days like whoever's across from him
00:58:50.640he's nodding going yeah yeah well i can see that definitely to to to us jang is just a weird0.82
00:58:58.700chinese dude but to the chinese he is a westernized he's highly westernized jang was raised he spent
00:59:09.300most of his life in toronto he's a toronto guy really i did not know that part and but currently
00:59:15.100all of his current videos since he's become famous are since he has moved back to beijing
00:59:20.140working for the chinese government so you can kind of see what's going like you know we talked
00:59:27.240before about the white monkey jobs where they want to take like popular something sometimes0.66
00:59:31.200celebrities but otherwise just like attractive well-spoken white dudes with good english to
00:59:37.880teach courses and to become spokespeople for government programs or for institutions
00:59:42.840because it legitimizes them not and we think this is for us but that's conceded it is not for us
00:59:48.900it is for the chinese population it's a mode of social control right so i think that's probably
00:59:56.240what's going on like with jang seems like goofy to us because jang isn't meant for us us interacting
01:00:03.080with jang is part of the kabuki that's going on for the actual intended viewership which is the
01:00:09.340chinese citizens themselves it's like oh wow he's a bunch of uh canadians are talking to mr jang
01:00:15.560the giant is so smart wait a minute here if the banks can print as much money as possible
01:00:24.460why do we have poverty right so that is the common answer scarcity we have poverty
01:00:33.760because of scarcity but i already told you this they can print money out of nothing
01:00:39.520so money is infinite so why are we why do we have poor people then because we don't want people to
01:00:47.660all have money see i i got this article here on substack published by the political economist and
01:00:56.460this would have been earlier this year in january and it was looking at this guy and he was echoing
01:01:02.720what you had said which is that he was just it really hits everyone he's just a toronto chinese
01:01:07.600guy doesn't him but um because he's going i know chinese do their names differently his full name
01:01:13.040is jean joaquin x-u-e-q-i-n walking like like joaquin phoenix like joaquin phoenix yeah it'd0.65
01:01:23.540be funny if like john translates to phoenix his name's a phoenix joaquin asshole yeah i'm reeves0.99
01:01:32.820keanu i'll fucking i'll slit your throat i would i would guess that that x-u-e-q-i-n is probably0.98
01:01:39.720zhuchin i would think maybe zhuchin huh zhuchin let me i'm gonna check it now because i want to0.99
01:01:47.760okay carry on i hate their names it's something like making when i make sound effects with my
01:03:17.560Not only is it a crowded market, but also it's such a tiny market.0.99
01:03:21.440really genuinely nobody fucking cares or reads this shit man so the fact that he has that many0.98
01:03:26.420subs it is 100 a chinese op that is hilarious dude it's so so flagrant because i i don't see0.98
01:03:35.720him as a terribly interesting guy and i'm the type of viewer who's ready and willing to see like an0.63
01:03:42.380old asian nerd in a sage-like way you want to see them in a sage-like way of course but like i'm0.95
01:03:49.180seen him just talk mad shit his youtube channel has over a million subscribers almost all of them0.90
01:03:55.100gained in the last year i thought he came about i thought he was around for longer like i could0.88
01:04:02.060have swore it might have just been a different chinese guy i don't think so so yeah it's like
01:04:06.820within a year half a million subscribers which is fucking astonishing his videos on game theory
01:04:14.340have gone viral and as someone who has covered game theory we've covered game theory on the show0.79
01:04:20.120we brought it up there's no reason game theory should go viral guys that's odd the game theory
01:04:26.300isn't even if you're into that sort of thing you know i mean like it's there's not a it's not a lot
01:04:33.120i mean there's a lot there but i i don't know why it would go viral especially like when you have
01:04:38.660other professors of game when you have other professors of game theory with their own youtube
01:04:44.920channels who explain it better and they're getting a fraction of a fraction of that yeah
01:04:50.340do you want to hate me do you want to hate him even more i i i could go for some hate yeah
01:04:56.200most of his career after graduating from yale in 99 was spent as a journalist he's actually
01:05:04.040a journalist imagine going from graduating from yale and going to be well he studied english he
01:05:10.280went to yale for english and then he became a journalist and then a lot of that time he actually
01:05:14.700was living in in beijing so we're going to cover this in a book not this episode but
01:05:22.660even on the next episode one after that uh called spy schools and uh some people probably won't like
01:05:29.400this because you know i understand why complaining about china and russia and maybe even iran is not
01:05:38.520very popular right now and i understand why but it gets into the infiltration of western universities
01:05:44.760mainly china but it brings up even like south americans uh spies working for the government
01:05:51.000to try and steal secrets and i i look at jiang and um just based on what i'm reading right now
01:05:58.280it seems to follow a track where it's like you're you're it seems like you're only in this
01:06:03.960institution to be in the institution because they put them there it's like just take the course but
01:06:09.320you're there to network you're there to make friends and impress the teachers and be a vector
01:06:16.280for we can invite them to this conference over here where our people will get in their ear and
01:06:22.080try and invite them to this conference over here and basically bring them on side to give us you
01:06:26.820know i mean like it's a it's this process it's not always stealing documents and and recording
01:06:32.760microfilm it's like building relationships so i look at him i'm like okay you're a chinese
01:06:37.000like a guy who like moved to like it's it's odd he moved back to china afterwards and actually
01:06:43.020that is strange it would be odd if you believed his story but i mean look in my my limited0.96
01:06:49.680experience it is fair in the same way that we just assumed all jews are lying and trying to
01:06:55.000kill you at all times if you ever meet a chinese person and i don't mean a chinese diaspora person0.96
01:07:00.340but like an actual like a blood china china person if especially if they're out of their element even1.00
01:07:06.540if they have spent a long time in the west just assume they're working for the fucking chinese0.98
01:07:10.860government man because if they have family back in china it's the fucking ussr dude they like they0.99
01:07:18.000are working for the government they're an agent one way or another especially if they work in0.99
01:07:23.440institution like if they're running a restaurant fine okay but if they're working in journalism
01:07:29.080education media engineering the sciences i guarantee you they're connected to the0.87
01:07:36.320fucking chinese government yeah and also like i've seen enough evidence in making big swings0.88
01:07:43.200and being wrong or saying things that are kind of perplexing here we go i like this article because0.98
01:07:47.900He says Joaquin's content suddenly went viral mid-2025 for no apparent reason.
01:07:55.120A Newsweek article claimed that it was because Joaquin predicted Trump's return and war with Iran.
01:08:00.940In reality, he simply sketched a scenario in which there might be an attack on Iran under Trump.
01:08:05.880Hardly a new insight given Trump's first term and Trump's dislike of Iran going back to 1988.
01:08:12.340Joaquin's argument seemed persuasive to some less informed viewers, but not to those with deeper knowledge.
01:08:17.560his biases are not hard to discern in one video he claims that russian civilization is based on
01:08:22.920violence while arguing that the united states was not because uh for example one example with the
01:08:29.640american indians was met with little resistance so he'll make like the geopolitical claims like that
01:08:37.320um his youtube account is says it's based in canada even though it appears to post videos
01:08:42.120of him lecturing to a chinese to chinese high school students uh his main twitter account
01:08:47.460claims to be based in beijing but its actual location is hong kong his other twitter account
01:08:53.600also claims to be based in beijing but x shows is based in australia so that could also be a case of
01:08:59.280like people running his account but that that in itself is strange like how many people around the
01:09:04.400world do you have contributing to this when it's supposed to just be you in front of a classroom
01:09:09.320yeah um yeah raised in canada went to yale studied english moved to china after graduating
01:09:15.240yale where he advocated for educational reforms uh until 2024 he had no background in economics
01:09:21.480geopolitics of any kind um and then the piece then gets into possible cia recruitment and things like
01:09:28.760that so it's making a case the title is john professor jang wakin a cia created doppelganger
01:09:37.000so no then the question okay is he is he they're saying he came out of nowhere yes but is it because
01:09:43.880of china or is it because the cia that's what it's asking i'm not saying either way but um i'll hear
01:09:51.080evidence of either but anyway that's uh yeah i don't i don't like this you get the sense that
01:09:58.040something's going on and maybe we're supposed to celebrate this because it's our ideas getting in
01:10:06.040front of more people more people are exposed to strange which ideas like mud flood and hyperborea
01:10:11.960like what what exact that is a good point like what what part of this is anything that we would
01:10:16.600fly as a you know i'm gonna look him up let's see i'm just gonna type in jang predictive history he0.52
01:10:22.840doesn't even have sorry this will sound really stupid he doesn't even have a logo it's just the0.56
01:10:27.000default p you know what i mean yeah on youtube but he's still got 2.13 million subscribers yeah0.77
01:10:33.320this is all fraudulent this is all fraudulent secret history thus spoke zarathustra i would
01:10:40.840have put the spake zarathustra but whatever uh he's talking about jesus he's talking about rome
01:10:47.000being an anti-civilization he's you know when we bounce around between these topics on blood
01:10:53.640side because if you look at this it's like the video list of blood satellite on youtube it's0.98
01:11:00.040It's like we're talking about it's delivered by a weird Gen X Chinese guy with poor English who is just recycling shit that's already been said a thousand times.0.90
01:50:51.160He says, Black nationalism and Quebec separatism are, again, teaching people how much is demanded by a true respect for men and the equality of natural and historical differences.1.00
01:51:01.540Their enemies cannot be, quote, dirty niggers because they are those dirty niggers.1.00
01:51:06.740So within the first 20 pages, he's called the Quebecois double dirty niggers.1.00
01:51:13.640And you wonder why this maybe didn't have a much wider audience.0.99
01:51:21.160He says, one with them in revolution of man and by man in the grand event that will sweep away the decay of the old system
01:51:27.340and prepare all humanity, that is all men, to begin a new history without masters or slaves, without war or racism, without banks and thieves.
01:51:37.520So from the outset, he's very clear at the beginning that he sees racism as a white man invention, but that they are not white men.
01:51:45.300it's he's present there's two enemies in this and this is why it's so interesting to contrast them
01:51:51.620against the ira because in both the ira and flq it's the english as the enemy it's the british so
01:51:57.700he sees the anglos in canada as just extensions of britain and so he sees all of america also
01:52:04.420as essentially britain as well and so but he says american influence as well as british influence
01:52:12.100are the problem in quebec and to his credit what i liked is that he spent some time exploring the
01:52:21.140history of quebec and there's certainly an editorial tilt to this but and he highlights
01:52:28.260certain aspects that will you know endorse his marxist take about the workers versus capital but
01:52:35.540But there are historical narratives that capture that essence, like the idea of workers being oppressed by an abusive, you know, coalition of employers.
01:52:48.680There were company towns. This did happen. There's certain historical instances that inspired Marxism.
01:52:56.580I was trying to keep that in mind that anyway, not to say that I agree with them, but there were peasant revolts for a reason.
01:53:04.520and he says here our ancestors came here with the hope of beginning a new life they were for the
01:53:09.880most part soldiers or day laborers the soldiers came a long time after champlain to fight the
01:53:15.660english and they remained in new france because they did not have the money to return to the
01:53:20.760metropolitan country the others came as volunteers especially under the talon administration about a
01:53:27.320century before the English conquest. They were unskilled laborers who could find no work
01:53:33.800in France and no reason for living. And he paints a picture of when the prisons of the
01:53:39.840metropolitan country, meaning France, meaning Paris, were filled to overflowing and people
01:53:44.660were growing a little too restless. The hotheads were often exiled to the colonies instead of being
01:53:49.420hanged. It was more humane. Periodically, the strongest prisoners were freed to be turned into
01:53:55.380mercenaries or colonists the volunteers destitute disappointed prisoners of their poverty resigned
01:54:01.940themselves to clearing an ungrateful soil on the seniorities granted by the king of france
01:54:07.860they had to become hunters fishermen and woodsmen in order to feed their numerous children
01:54:12.900in 1689 there were 10 000 french canadians in new france the fur trade was monopolized by a
01:54:20.740few french merchants the french of france as they were already beginning to be called by the habitants
01:54:26.500and the habitants was a name that they sort of gave themselves for the the quebecers of quebec
01:54:32.900the people who are of that place and they weren't one foot in one foot out um then the habitants
01:54:39.140hated them the towns of the colony like those in the metropolitan country overflowed with hungry
01:54:44.340idle men he's drawing parallels between the french revolution and what could have been
01:54:50.660a quebec revolution as well and there was something like that that took place
01:54:55.700um then he goes on to explain how the english merchants took over from the french merchants
01:55:01.220who before surrendering the colony to the english had a time to effect a some profitable sale of
01:55:07.460arms the conquerors had no gift difficulty in gaining collaboration of the clergy and those
01:55:12.420impoverished seniors but remained in the colony despite the defeat so he's telling the story of
01:55:18.100kind of like what we are saying with the history of canada being sold out to america he he feels
01:55:24.180that the clergy the church in quebec as well as the business class sold out their interest to
01:55:32.420the english because english influence obviously poured over both from the west and from the south
01:55:39.700that would be upper canada and then through america um it continues on here since 1760
01:55:47.460the british and their english canadian agents have monopolized the trade in furs and wheat
01:55:52.500and have been the sole beneficiaries of the sale of english products on the canadian market as well
01:55:57.620as the export of canadian raw materials these capitalists anxious to preserve the social peace
01:56:03.540that had been regained began to buy the services of a few quebecois lawyers and by giving them
01:56:08.740prestigious post to co-op them into their companies and into political parties whose
01:56:13.540machines they had controlled from the beginning so again he's telling the story of english influence
01:56:19.540buying off the quebec and to the point i was making before i believe these things happened
01:56:26.020i believe that he's telling the truth when he talks about like there was subversion occurring
01:56:31.940now he takes this and builds a marxist case out of it um but it's not based on nothing it's not
01:56:40.500based on you know the story of who populated quebec and the english attempts and the american
01:56:47.220attempts for that matter to invade quebec to bring quebec under their dominion and he just feels that
01:56:54.020quebec has been given the short end of the stick now you can agree or disagree with that but
01:56:57.700but I don't think he's mostly even wrong.
01:57:03.980I think he's mostly correct in his historical assessment.
01:57:15.160It's almost like the guys we were talking about earlier,
01:57:18.500where I kind of agree with what you're saying.
01:57:20.120It's just the conclusions you're drawing
01:57:21.360and the case you're making afterwards, I disagree with.
01:57:24.040He kind of built into explaining the history of the Quebec people.
01:57:28.200And he goes on here, he says, while the working and agricultural class is slowly and painfully developing class consciousness, without which no revolution is possible, the Americans are seizing more and more of our national patrimony.0.67
01:57:41.300It is estimated that today they control directly or indirectly 80 percent of the economy of Quebec.0.73
01:57:46.660by means of an increasing number of long-term loans they capture an ever-growing share of the
01:57:52.120revenues of the state of quebec in the form of interest and thus hold back any possibility of
01:57:57.140autonomous development even if quebec gets all the taxes back from ottawa this additional revenue
01:58:02.680will soon pass into the hands of the americans who constitute the main obstacle to the economic
01:58:07.560independence of quebec now i hear that and i'm like fair enough like i i do i think that's
01:58:13.880probably happening quebec is the recipient of i'd say the lion's share of equalization payments
01:58:21.380so it's not to say that money's just flowing out of quebec there's a lot of money flowing
01:58:26.440into quebec just to keep it solvent however if we're talking about you know being uh held in
01:58:34.420in you know loan agreements to america or american interests being smuggled through canadian parties
01:58:40.520and it could these canadian institutions just being an agent for american interests fair enough
01:58:47.320but that it would be could you imagine how effective the flq could be if it just made
01:58:55.000that its main point and it didn't go into like creating a worker state and uh being part of an
01:59:01.240international revolution like if you just keep kept it focused on that then you would actually
01:59:07.720get more people on board i think because there's parts of this book where you don't hear a lot of
01:59:13.800people talking about quebec history like this there's quebec nationalists of course but i don't
01:59:20.280know it's it's not so often that you see it summarized like this like the case for independence
01:59:29.000outside like just just hating the english right um yeah and i talk about this in more
01:59:35.240depth in the vanguard's journal article if you want to check that out um i wanted to just skip
01:59:41.160ahead and i talk about the history of quebec a bit more in the article so that's why i'm skipping
01:59:45.000ahead right now but before we go i want to make sure i got to some of his life story here just
01:59:50.380because i want to get that on the record he says when i was born a year and a half before the second
01:59:54.720world war there was a growing unrest among the working class of quebec the year before there
01:59:59.200had been a bloody riots in sorrel and a number of strikes were turning into violence in montreal
02:08:13.560And and also, even if look, if they would have to focus on that and they aren't, they're focusing on some like civic nationalist economic bullshit.0.87
02:08:21.440So and look, again, I've said so many times I'm I am sympathetic to to the plight of Albertans.0.96
