A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on. A lie told once is still a lie, a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. A quote from Winston Churchill and a quote from Mark Twain.

00:00:00.000 This video is inappropriate for children, and to be frank, it could be inappropriate for you.
00:00:11.880 Hi, it's John, and welcome to the channel. It is Tuesday, September the 2nd, 544 a.m. Hope you're
00:00:17.840 having a great day today. Hope you had a great long weekend. Hard to believe we've got the long
00:00:23.200 weekend in September behind us. Within the next three months, we'll have snow up to our eyeballs
00:00:28.240 here in Calgary. I've got my big blue mug of coffee tasting oh so sweet today. Thanks for being part
00:00:34.380 of this channel. If you have subscribed, by the way, if you haven't subscribed, please click on
00:00:38.580 subscribe. Thank you so much. So today I want to start with a couple of quotes. Those of you who
00:00:44.480 have been on my channel and have been following here for a long time know I like quotes. I have
00:00:48.980 a long list of them on my tablet in a document, and every time I see one that I can learn from,
00:00:55.020 I keep it. So here are a couple of quotes for you. Very appropriate for today's topic.
00:01:01.200 A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on. Now that's been
00:01:06.500 attributed to either Winston Churchill or Mark Twain, but it's a very truthful comment about lies.
00:01:14.280 And here's the other one for you. A lie told once is still a lie. A lie told a thousand times
00:01:20.520 becomes the truth. Now that's attributed to a propaganda minister for a political organization
00:01:25.880 in 1930s and 40s Germany. What's interesting about this is if I were to say this guy's name and the
00:01:31.880 organization he was involved in, I would probably get this video demonetized on YouTube. Just goes to
00:01:38.060 show where we are when it comes to the lies of the left here in Canada. Because I want to talk about
00:01:44.080 this so-called book ban here in Alberta. And all I've got to say is, you know, I want Alberta
00:01:50.700 independence, but a lot of people on the independent side, we admire Danielle Smith because she doesn't
00:01:56.500 take any shit from anybody. And she's not taking any shit from anybody on this. And I'm beeping out
00:02:02.620 the word shit because I could get demonetized for saying that word on YouTube. Later in this video,
00:02:08.080 I'm going to show you some video, or I might show you some video of what the left wants kids to see
00:02:14.820 in schools. But let's look at how hyperbolic the left has gotten when it comes to the so-called
00:02:21.160 book ban, scare quotes, book ban here in Alberta, which isn't a book ban at all. Let's go to the screen.
00:02:29.960 Now, just before I get to these articles, and you'll find these all over the internet if you look at
00:02:34.620 Alberta book ban, before I get to this, I've got a little different perspective on what's really
00:02:39.900 going on here and why the left is losing its mind over this. Of course, they hate Daniel Smith. They
00:02:44.720 hate the right. They hate anything that they call, you know, maple mag in this country. But I've got a
00:02:50.120 different perspective on this, which I'll get to before we get to the end. Okay. So this is the kind
00:02:55.440 of article you're seeing online. If you look up Alberta book ban, this is the kind of misinformation
00:03:00.260 you're being fed because these stories don't tell the truth. This is from the CBC. Alberta book
00:03:06.800 restrictions in schools raise alarm bells for BC authors. This is from Global News. Margaret Atwood
00:03:13.100 takes aim at Alberta's school library. Books ban with satirical story. I'll get to Atwood in just a
00:03:17.940 moment. Another one on the CBC. They're playing this to the hilt. Canadian author Margaret Atwood takes
00:03:23.400 another shot at Alberta's book ban with satirical story. List of banned school books includes The
00:03:28.100 Handmaid's Tale and Brave New World. So this is where we are right now. All of this is misinformation.
00:03:36.440 Alberta is not banning these books. Daniel Smith has been very clear about this. We'll get to it in
00:03:42.620 just a moment. This is the kind of thing you're seeing on social media. Ravenwood. Of course, he's got
00:03:47.980 the Canada flag and the Free Palestine flag. And of course, Ukraine at the top. Why doesn't Daniel
00:03:53.620 Smith pack up and move in with Trump banning The Handmaid's Tale? And dozens more like Brave New
00:03:59.160 World. And I know why the Cageberg sings she is a fascist. Then you get people like this. I don't
00:04:05.100 know whether you know who this lunatic is. Laura Babcock. I don't know why her stuff keeps coming
00:04:10.740 up on my ex feed. I should follow her. I'm not sure if I'm, am I following Laura Babcock?
00:04:16.620 I don't think I'm following this one. I should follow her. Because it's a never ending supply
00:04:25.160 of hilarity for me to watch this one. Look at this woman has lost her freaking mind. She's
00:04:30.320 a nut.
00:04:31.000 Daniel Smith banning books, including, guess what? The Handmaid's Tale. Because, you know,
00:04:36.100 if you don't want people to see the future you want, don't let them read the fucking book
00:04:39.360 about it.
00:04:40.340 So, you know, this is the kind of lunacy we're seeing online right now. Then you get something
00:04:45.080 like this. Margaret Atwood responds to the Edmonton School Library fiasco with a post
00:04:50.700 trolling Daniel Smith. Kids are smarter than Smith realizes. Let them read and think for
00:04:55.120 themselves. Also, Smith may be just the worst premier in Canada right now. And here's the
00:05:00.280 post by Margaret Atwood. Margaret Atwood is a nut. She's 85 years old and she's demented.
00:05:07.580 Feel free to read what she has here. I'll leave it on the screen. But this is absolute lunacy.
00:05:13.300 She is insane. She's an old woman and an old leftist woman who has lost her way. She's
00:05:22.240 too stupid to understand what's really going on here, like most people on the left, because
00:05:27.000 they look for confirmation bias in everything.
00:05:31.360 Daniel Smith's a fascist, so look for the stuff that calls her a fascist and they don't
00:05:34.940 understand what's actually going on here. Here's Daniel Smith talking about this in a
00:05:39.200 news conference. And this is what this is about.
00:05:41.400 Because these were the images that parents were showing us that were accessible to
00:05:46.220 children in elementary school libraries. And so we asked school boards to use their
00:05:51.620 discretion to identify books that might not be age appropriate for elementary school
00:05:58.180 children. And then to, and Edmonton Public is clearly doing a little vicious compliance over what the
00:06:04.900 direction is. And so if they need us to hold their hand through the process to identify what kind
00:06:10.680 of materials are appropriate for senior high school students, what kind of materials are appropriate
00:06:17.020 for junior high school students, and what kind of materials are appropriate for elementary school
00:06:22.480 students, we will more than happily work with them to work through their list one by one so we can be
00:06:28.900 super clear about what it is we're trying to do. We are trying to take sexually explicit content out of
00:06:35.780 elementary schools that is inappropriate for me to show on the television news at night. And so it is
00:06:40.160 inappropriate for seven-year-olds to see.
00:06:41.680 Okay. So she talks about the picture she's shown in this news conference, which I'm going to get to
00:06:48.140 in just a moment from the exactly the same news conference just prior to this. And actually, when I
00:06:52.920 started playing this video, there was a short little, probably two frame capture of one of the
00:06:58.160 pictures that's inappropriate for her to show. But she warned everybody that it was
00:07:02.880 actually graphic. And this is stuff that she wants out of the schools, not a handmaid's tale. It's got
00:07:08.560 nothing to do with her. Nothing. But the left is lying to you. Brian Lilly with a great article on this
00:07:15.620 right here. Danielle Smith is right. The board is wrong in stupid book band fight.
00:07:20.580 Daniel Smith told schools in Alberta to take sexually explicit material out of school libraries.
00:07:28.740 You know, I might even get demonetized for saying sexually explicit material on YouTube.
00:07:35.160 Daniel Smith told school boards in Alberta to take sexually explicit material out of school
00:07:39.000 libraries. In response, the Edmonton Public School Board leaked out a list of 200 books they would be
00:07:43.900 removing and claimed they had to take these books off the shelves to comply with a provincial
00:07:48.020 directive. School boards in this country hate Daniel Smith. We're going through going to have
00:07:52.080 a teacher strike here. And the teachers unions are likely going to strike because they hate Daniel
00:07:56.860 Smith. They hate the right. They have no morals. Gone would be Margaret Atwood, Alice Monroe, Maya Angelou,
00:08:05.220 and George R.R. Martin. The move by the Edmonton board is a political stunt, an attempt to start a
00:08:11.520 fight with the premier and her government. And so far, it's working. Like I said at the beginning,
00:08:16.400 a lie told once is still a lie. A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. I'm going to
00:08:22.860 get to a point here that other people aren't getting to in just a moment about the left.
00:08:27.960 It's being described as a book ban. It's being described as driven by the province. It's not.
00:08:32.440 It's a temper tantrum by the Edmonton board because they don't want to take four books with graphic
00:08:38.400 visual depictions of children and youth engaged in sexual activity off the shelves. Why is that?
00:08:43.400 Why don't they want to take these books off the shelf? I'm going to get to the books in just a
00:08:52.860 moment that Daniel Smith showed in her news conference. Why don't they want to take them
00:09:00.480 off the shelf? Lily gets to this at the bottom of this article. One more point on the video. The
00:09:04.520 claim is always that this is anti-LGBTQ because some of the images in books focus on that. But there
00:09:10.180 are images of straight kids having sex as well. Do you remember when you were a kid? I know times
00:09:14.800 have changed and we've moved on. But you remember when you were a kid and you walked into your local
00:09:19.920 variety store? I used to go to Greer's Variety down the street when I lived in Sarnia, Ontario on
00:09:25.360 Devine. It was at Devine and Indian Road. It was called Greer's Variety. For God's sakes,
00:09:29.060 it might still be that called Greer's Variety. This is 50 or more years ago. And you'd go in and
00:09:34.200 there'd be the magazine rack. And at the top of the magazine rack were all the magazines that had brown
00:09:38.400 paper over them because there were scantily clad women on the front of those magazines because it
00:09:43.160 was inappropriate for children. And the left wants these pictures in schools. And it's even worse.
00:09:49.600 It's stuff you wouldn't even see in the magazines that they've had 60 years ago. Not even close.
00:09:55.100 Why is it that they want these things? But Lily makes a very good point here.
00:09:59.880 This is this guy, Russ D.
00:10:05.520 Tired of big government. Thanks, Russ.
00:10:07.780 For Christ's sakes, this isn't a government of Alberta book ban. The Edmonton Public School Board
00:10:11.760 added this to a list of books they are banning to make a point.
00:10:15.120 Shoddy narrative being promulgated here.
00:10:18.220 Absolutely.
00:10:20.960 So, this is from TikTok. Here is Danielle Smith showing the pictures.
00:10:25.720 And you're going to see the pictures here. Okay? She shows the pictures that are banned in school.
00:10:31.240 Here we go.
00:10:31.540 I'm going to have to show the screen here because people aren't kind of getting what it is we're
00:10:37.980 trying to do here. We are trying to take graphic pornographic images out of elementary schools
00:10:44.660 so that kids are not exposed to age-inappropriate material. So, I'm going to leave it on for 15
00:10:50.400 seconds. I'm warning you that the content may be disturbing and it's not appropriate for young
00:10:55.800 users. Viewer discretion is advised. I know that the cameras probably can't print it on the
00:11:01.940 evening news tonight without probably facing some kind of broadcast standards council complaint.
00:11:07.420 And I know that I would get delisted from Facebook for showing these kind of images on
00:11:11.700 Facebook because they're pornographic. That is what we are trying to address. There's another one
00:11:16.320 here. Please take a look at it. I'd invite all of the school trustees to take a look at it too.
00:11:22.000 We have tried to be as polite about this so that people understand what it is. Here's another one.
00:11:28.660 So, you can have another look at the kind of material that we think should not be exposed
00:11:33.940 to young children aged seven years old. And I think we've got one more that we would like to
00:11:38.600 show you as well. Here is another example. So, I don't know how much more clear we could be.
00:11:44.480 This is disgusting. This all began because these were the images that parents were showing us
00:11:50.140 that were accessible to children in elementary school libraries. And so, we asked school boards
00:11:55.960 to use their discretion to identify books that might not be age-appropriate for elementary school
00:12:03.260 children. Ladies and gentlemen, I had to blur those out. It was inappropriate for kids to see that.
00:12:11.200 I don't have a lot of kids watching my channel, but I would get demonetized because I'd have to lie.
00:12:16.580 I have to say whether things are for kids or not when I put my videos up. This video would
00:12:22.600 definitely be demonetized. And there's a possibility I could get a strike on my channel if I were to show
00:12:29.200 you the pictures. They're disgusting. Now, here's the question that most people aren't asking. I said
00:12:38.040 at the beginning, I've got a different take on this. And this is what I try to do here.
00:12:44.560 Is the left really concerned that Danielle Smith is banning this material?
00:12:48.660 Or is the left really upset that they can't show children this material? Now, there's a difference.
00:12:58.220 Are they really concerned about Danielle Smith banning this material? Or are they really upset
00:13:03.420 that they can't show children this material? You know, we call people who show children this type
00:13:08.760 of material. It starts with a P and it ends with a vert. I'm going to jump to the conclusion that they
00:13:17.260 want children to see this inappropriate material. I think it goes back to what Lily said in this article
00:13:23.300 about the alphabet people. I think that the left wants to groom children and they want to groom your
00:13:31.020 children. And Danielle Smith is trying to protect children from inappropriate actual material in
00:13:36.760 schools. That's all this is about. It's got nothing to do with Margaret Atwood and A Handmaid's Tale
00:13:43.220 or 1984 or any of the books that the Edmonton School Board is trying to make an issue out of here
00:13:48.440 because they want to make political points against Danielle Smith. And the lie is being continued and
00:13:53.400 it goes around the world before the truth could get its pants on. And I'll bring this up to you right
00:14:00.000 here. I've used this quote before. Vladimir Lenin, give me four years to teach the
00:14:06.580 children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted. I think these people are wanting to
00:14:12.900 groom your children.
00:14:19.000 If you can get your kids into a private school, for God's sakes, do it. I spent some time in schools
00:14:23.740 over the last couple of years. I was part of a bike program. I'm just stunned
00:14:27.500 at how ridiculous things are in schools these days. God love the teachers that are teaching the children.
00:14:34.040 But God damn the teachers who are teaching children about this kind of stuff and think
00:14:40.840 it's appropriate to show them inappropriate material. Thank you very much for watching.
00:14:45.880 I appreciate it. Let me know what you think in the comments. I haven't been on the comments over
00:14:49.780 the last couple of days. I've been rather busy. I try to read the comments when I can, but please
00:14:54.360 leave a comment below. If you like the video, please give me a thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel.
00:14:58.540 Ring the bell for notifications. I will see you in the next one.
