00:00:00.000I have a background and my education is in sociology and psychology, so I figured why not put it to good use?
00:00:07.500And I know that there are a lot of, not a lot, there's about six different events that can cause a society to kind of, you know, have just mass fear to spread across society.
00:00:20.080And then when mass fear spreads, then that's when people start looking to government for help, right?
00:00:25.580They start looking for answers. They start looking for solutions. And they feel like they become disempowered, right? So we're going to talk about this. And we have I what I've done is I've basically separated into six section, like six different events that lead to mass fear. I went ahead and grabbed examples of recent society.
00:00:48.060So within the last 10 to 15 years of these things that have been happening that are like each of these events.
00:00:55.840So examples of each of these events occurring in real time in current society.
00:01:00.580Now the first step, events and societal changes that generate large scale fear and increase the appeal of authority tend to share a few psychological features.
00:01:13.380They threaten basic needs for safety, predictability, or group survival.
00:01:19.400They feel exogenous or hard for individuals to control, and they create uncertainty about the future.
00:01:26.060Under these conditions, people often show rally effects, higher approval of existing leaders or institutions, and greater preference for decisive, strong, or expert-driven responses.
00:01:38.400So that's basically, you know, a definition of how it can and how it can make people appeal to authority and become, you know, government bootlickers.
00:01:51.160So the first one here is security and intergroup threats.
00:01:56.940So wars, terrorist attacks and military crisis produce some of the strongest and most consistent rally effects.
00:02:04.680The classic rally around the flag pattern, this has been documented since the 1970s, is especially pronounced for unexpected external security threats.
00:02:15.500So I'm coming at this, obviously, you guys probably know this, but for anybody who may not know, I'm coming at this from the angle of manufactured chaos, right?
00:02:25.840So I'm coming in from the angle that these events are being manufactured by the government or the powers that be to create the chaos, to then create the need for or the desire for a surveillance state or a totalitarian state.
00:02:43.540After the 9-11 attacks, U.S. presidential approval spiked dramatically.
00:02:48.660Similar patterns appear after other terrorist incidents or the onset of interstate conflict.
00:02:54.060perceived group level threat increases affiliation with national leaders and symbols of collective
00:03:00.180strength so we're going to talk about this fear appeal first everything that they know about this
00:03:08.200is is based on this fear appeal this kind of uh phenomena uh from the behavioral center for
00:03:14.740behavioral decisions um and again a lot of people think this is junk science and maybe you know what
00:03:20.120mean. But I do think that certain behavior can be, you know, kind of observed on mass, like certain
00:03:27.880things. And this is one of them. I mean, it's been proven, right? This is stuff that the, you know,
00:03:32.620prior to even World War Two, I'm sure even the Russians and you know, the Chinese and all this
00:03:36.500stuff were kind of using this kind of stuff to get their people in line. So anyways, it's called
00:03:40.260the fear appeal, you know, described as you scare people about a threat, and then show them a way
00:03:46.660out. So you're, you know, producing the problem, scaring the people about the problem, and then
00:03:52.280showing them the solution, right? Obviously, the most recent example of this is COVID. We can all
00:03:58.380remember how they, you know, it was just nothing but fear mongering. Nothing but, you know, showing,
00:04:04.580we don't even know if it was real footage of people, you know, collapsing in the street in
00:04:08.260China. This obviously triggered a fucking, you know, protective behavior in a lot of people who,0.95
00:04:14.420you know are already fucking paranoid and a lot of obviously it targeted mostly the you know0.96
00:04:19.680middle-aged boomers right who are at most at risk of stuff like this anyways remember we said number0.94
00:04:25.900one was the uh wars right and conflicts and and stuff like that that make you feel unsafe in your
00:04:33.300country or uncertain about you know national security and stuff like that that was you know
00:04:38.280one of the first events that could happen so obviously we have tons of wars going on and
00:04:43.900conflicts that, you know, well, Canada isn't directly involved right now, but we're sending
00:04:48.260a lot of money. They're telling us to be prepared. So could we be getting involved in something on
00:04:54.880actual on the ground? Possibly. But the wars, this website shows where all the wars are being
00:05:01.940fought, right? And this is basically like a map of it, right? And the deadliest conflicts from 2025
00:05:09.940right here is ukraine sudan palestine all this this stuff right so there is a lot of instability
00:05:17.080in the world so this was a cyber attack that happened in france france they have basically
00:05:23.060hacked into the storage facilities for blood um fortunately there was no blood loss but then
00:05:29.040similar this because first they hacked the freezers right in france there are some freezers at a
00:05:33.840supermarkets it says hundreds of supermarkets then similar attacks hit other european countries
00:05:39.000with some freezers reaching 50 celsius i guess that's not good right because that would be0.74
00:05:43.720melting temperature uh yeah that actually 50 celsius is fucking hot what am i saying0.96
00:05:48.540fuck i'll be all right it says and now obviously hackers have manipulated the temperatures but0.98
00:05:54.500they brought up a good point imagine hospitals suddenly losing critical blood supplies because0.99
00:05:59.640someone remotely changed the temperature so a cyber attack could go from destroying food to
00:06:03.620putting patients lives in danger yeah like imagine if the hospital equipment which i'm sure
00:06:08.320inevitably it will be connected to you know some kind of network or internet like where it can be
00:06:13.820hacked imagine somebody like on a ventilator or doing dialysis or something like that which is
00:06:19.300like a life-saving thing and it gets shut down like this is how it's gonna like this is how the
00:06:25.380war basically i don't think it has to be a nuke like i don't think that you know anybody's gonna0.93
00:06:29.800drop a nuke it's gonna be this it's gonna be this kind of shit they're gonna you know there's gonna0.86
00:06:34.400to be a major cyber attack or something and I do think this might be why that they or they're0.99
00:06:39.900they're or they're doing a test run for something like a test run cyber attack I don't know but this
00:06:46.700is why I think they're telling everybody like I've only seen it from the west maybe I but I don't1.00
00:06:52.140follow the news from third world shitholes so maybe they're also telling their people but they
00:06:56.260also don't have the same infrastructure as us so it might not affect them as much but I'm convinced
00:07:00.560that they're telling all of us this because there is something coordinated you know and planned
00:07:06.380right and it goes back to the whole subject of today's you know pod or podcast or whatever
00:07:10.960live stream is manufactured chaos this was the the flights right that I was talking about saying
00:07:16.300that they were forced to change course because of a series of bomb threats so this is also kind of
00:07:20.860like a national security thing right so when people hear this kind of stuff this makes people
00:07:25.080afraid to fly this makes people you know just nervous in general for their relatives to fly
00:07:29.640So it puts people in a position of vulnerability and more likely to, you know, listen to authority.
00:07:36.580Next, we have in our thing is the event number two, which is public health crisis.
00:07:44.920So the public health crisis is obviously pandemics and major disease outbreaks reliably elevate fear.
00:07:52.300Right. So this is why we saw like people really go crazy for this shit.1.00
00:07:55.560Right. Because it can they know that it could affect them personally.1.00
00:07:58.900war yes you know sometimes and even terrorist attacks yes but I think that um major disease
00:08:05.060outbreaks just because of the nature of how quickly they can spread and stuff like that it
00:08:08.660really fucks people up more so during COVID-19 multi-country data showed rises in support for
00:08:15.320strong leaders technocratic or expert rule this is the problem right this is was the lead of the0.66
00:08:20.940technocrats where they believe that you had to be an expert and nobody nobody had a definition of
00:08:27.780what made an expert like who was an expert you know what I mean like but they it was just something
00:08:31.500that was given to them by the politicians they were an expert right and everybody had to listen
00:08:36.380to the experts right everybody reverted in their decisions they gave their autonomy up to these
00:08:40.680unelected bureaucratic supposed experts existing political institutions relative to pre-pandemic
00:08:48.200baselines so yeah people wanted strong exist or strong leaders and technocratic rule and they
00:08:55.320wanted the same political institutions they didn't want change periods of elevated disease risk were
00:09:01.800linked to greater reported fear or stress and higher institutional approval historical parallels
00:09:07.700include reactions to the black death and other large epidemics which produced flight scapegoating
00:09:12.780and acceptance of emergency measures right so that's uh that's what they did then so so we're
00:09:21.060going to talk about the covid right we're going to look at some of the hysteria in case you forgot
00:09:25.080So I went back and grabbed some, well, this is a more recent one from February of last year, but I tried to grab some old, you know, footage of the hysteria that went on during, you know, the Convid scam, right? And, you know, again, all of this stuff didn't happen all at once, it kind of compiled on, but it happened in relatively close, like timeframe.
00:09:46.340so people haven't recovered from the you know craziness of covid and then now we're dealing0.94
00:09:51.760with you know this this financial crisis and you know a war possibly and nuclear fucking
00:09:57.500this and and being hacked so like all these things are compounding on people and to be you know real0.52
00:10:04.520we've lived a life the last few generations have lived a life of indulgence right and decadence0.97
00:10:10.860So we're not really prepared for any kind of major, you know, fucking crisis.0.97
00:12:06.6003.4 percent is what it's being reported around the world making a deadlier so much
00:12:12.700the death rate the percentage is 3.4 percent and no hunch from the president can change that
00:12:17.160lied about the most recent world health organization and that's a lie like it never
00:12:20.900was that because we all found out that it was they were adding basically deaths people who
00:12:26.560were basically on death's door were already it was imminent death and they were including those0.92
00:12:31.840as a covid death so we all know that that's bullshit it was just propaganda to spread mass0.85
00:12:37.580hysteria estimate that the global death rate of coronavirus is 3.4 yeah you know what pac-man0.88
00:12:43.840the 3.4 death rate was wrong and who data later updated it to a fraction of one percent let's go
00:12:50.900back into history trump has a hunch that the death rate is lower than one percent way under0.99
00:12:56.540one percent way under one someone put a mozzarella stick in this stupid hole i've lied to viewers0.99
00:13:01.680about the mortality rate way under one percent false information she's spreading disinformation0.99
00:13:06.440misinformation and dangerous disinformation if you're president and remember the word
00:13:10.660misinformation and disinformation was a word invented by the cia to during the cold war to
00:13:15.920basically discredit people or it might have been after mk ultra whatever right it was to discredit
00:13:21.140people from speaking the truth right it's not even a word that was known prior to that
00:13:26.160the united states you have the world's greatest scientists at your disposal you listen to them
00:13:30.340leading scientists yes i saw dr fauci wrote in the new england journal of medicine that the death
00:13:35.800rate could be considerably less than one percent way under one percent why are you going on national
00:13:43.220television and contradicting experts based on a hunch his fake hunch with some fake math the
00:13:47.700president somehow thinks it could be lower than one percent based on nothing based on the life
00:13:51.780and it's funny too because this changed so quickly right all of a sudden when people they couldn't
00:13:56.600deny the facts that were coming out then all of a sudden the narrative changed right but it's good
00:14:01.480to go back and watch this because this created i think in modern history the biggest example of
00:14:07.400mass hysteria that we've ever experienced in modern history conversations with a lot of people
00:14:13.420that do this outright lies contradicting health officials on fatality rates it's not a time for
00:14:18.080donald trump to be calling into cable shows it's a time for the cdc what is cdc's best estimate of
00:14:23.720the fatality rate somewhere between half a percent and one percent oh yeah a fraction of one percent
00:14:29.340the president is spreading false information information discarding what the health0.99
00:14:33.820professionals are saying outright bogus information this is all the shit that we heard during the0.98
00:14:38.560COVID thing this was an interesting article I came across called issues and insights how to create a0.97
00:14:44.780pandemic panic and keep it going now this was from 2020 July and this is I guess talking about
00:14:52.780California which makes sense because California went balls to the wall just like Ontario did
00:14:57.540this week California which has a death rate that is less than half the national average is rolling
00:15:02.460back its reopening amid an increase in coronavirus cases. Elsewhere, we're awash in stories about how
00:15:08.200states have reopened too soon. Why the continued panic when we know that the disease is far less
00:15:14.320lethal than originally feared? If nothing else, the pandemic is a textbook example of how to create
00:15:21.040fear and anxiety that is out of proportion to the threat and spur panic-induced policies that0.73
00:15:27.960needlessly kill people like seniors in New York nursing homes we can say here in Canada the ones
00:15:33.520that were in Ontario nursing homes so the five steps that got the coronavirus panic started and0.94
00:15:39.680why it continues to this day well again this was in July of 2020 it did go on for I would say
00:15:45.740probably into 2022 at least especially here but maybe in other places it didn't carry on as long
00:15:52.100but number one the five number or the first step i guess you could say the first step wildly
00:15:58.260exaggerate the deadliness of the disease so most perceptions of the coronavirus were formed when
00:16:04.920they announced that the fatality rate was above three percent and i remember that this was a
00:16:09.880calculation error so these are supposed to be the experts of the world they're supposed to make
00:16:14.800decisions for the entire world about what we're supposed to do regarding a supposedly deadly
00:16:19.260deadly pandemic and they fucked up moving a decimal over count deaths and under count cases
00:16:25.600these perceptions have continued because of the way that the cases and deaths are counted0.81
00:16:32.220i talked about that already the confirmed cases is a fraction of the actual number of people who've
00:16:36.900contracted it right because not everybody got tested not everybody you know was reported at
00:16:42.320the same time the number of deaths is almost certainly exaggerated because we aren't count
00:16:46.220we aren't counting deaths caused by COVID, but deaths among people who tested positive.
00:16:52.860Ignore positive trends. So this would be step three.
00:16:58.660Amid all the agonizing over the rise in new coronavirus cases are data that is data that
00:17:04.340should be reassuring, but they're large, it was largely being ignored. Step number four,
00:17:08.400act as though any new infection is a tragedy0.98
00:17:11.680this again we saw this you know the politicians would parade their asses out and stand there and0.99
00:17:20.520be all you know solemn looking and shit and telling us about how you know there was this0.99
00:17:25.520many new infections and so sorry the news media continued to treat uh the outbreaks as death0.98
00:17:30.620sentences it was news when prominent people tested positive but not when they recovered
00:17:34.700just like the joe rogan thing right for example they demonized him to the point where they
00:17:39.620photoshopped the skin color to make him look sicker because he wasn't using he wasn't following
00:17:45.200the the fauci approved protocol right and then number five the final step ignore the health
00:17:52.000consequences of lockdowns the third event that can happen um in these situations is economic
00:18:02.020like insecurity and financial shocks. Well, we all know what we're going through right now,
00:18:08.100right? Like I said, this is the economy. This is a Harrison Faulkner video. We don't have to watch
00:18:12.980the whole thing. But this is with an economist basically saying people don't understand how bad
00:18:17.480we have it in Canada. So you want to create, like I said, if you want to create mass hysteria,
00:18:24.440mass psychosis, you fuck the economy. This is one of those things, right? Financial shocks to people,0.99
00:18:30.160High unemployment, poverty, bank failures, or sharp drops in living standards, increased preference for dominant or decisive leaders.
00:18:38.300Cross-national studies link objective economic threats like joblessness, housing instability, to greater support for strong-willed, forceful leadership, even when competence is uncertain.
00:18:49.880The National Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Franco Tarrazzano, joins me next.
00:18:54.760All right, joining me now is the federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Franco
00:19:04.260So we live in probably one of the wealthiest countries in the world.
00:19:08.140We have a remarkably educated population.
00:19:12.180We have the foundation of a country that really shouldn't be struggling that much, but yet
00:19:16.440millions of Canadians are struggling to just put food on the table.
00:19:20.440We have record food bank usage that seems to be increasing every month now.
00:19:24.100why is this happening in a country that seems to have everything else going for it
00:19:28.380yeah i think there could be a lot of reasons but i think the single biggest reason why people are
00:19:34.260struggling and why it just seems like everything for working class people are getting harder a
00:19:39.460little harder every year then a little harder the next is he gonna say it is he gonna say the dirty
00:19:43.880word guys is he gonna say it no he's not gonna say it but we know what that word is immigration
00:19:50.120education class here then a little harder the year after that and then you look back five six
00:19:54.880years and you're like wow man things are really really tough right now compared to you know just
00:19:58.740the normal days a handful of years ago but the key reasons of that is just the cost of government
00:20:03.860in canada has gotten out of control and that's really why the cost of living in canada has gotten
00:20:08.540out of control so he speculates that it's the cost of government right i agree we have way too many
00:20:14.820people in the public sector and this the reason why we do is because this is how canada has been
00:20:20.740solving the unemployment uh rates and making them go down basically by creating a bunch of public
00:20:27.060sector or service jobs in the government um and then it makes it look like you know they we've
00:20:33.460we've gotten or we've increased jobs like we've added jobs to the economy as opposed to lost them
00:20:39.460But they're taxpayer dependent jobs. So I would agree that the government is heavily bloated and is a large reason why we're not doing well. But I think it's a spending problem. And I also think that it's like I said, it's an immigration problem. And obviously, because they're spending this amount of money on the immigrants.
00:21:00.080okay let me just give you uh one one little number here like for the average canadian family
00:21:07.080not the monopoly man the average family uh the total amount of tax that all levels of government
00:21:12.880take from you is close to half of your income i've been saying close to half of your families
00:21:17.540and people always say no it's not there's no way it's no it's not 50 percent right from like the0.60
00:21:23.020federal government but we pay tax on everything every fucking thing right so yeah you pay income0.97
00:21:28.860tax at the end of the year on your paycheck but you pay you know gst hst fucking um you know all0.94
00:21:37.140different sales tax on some things you pay service tax on stuff that like we're constantly paying0.89
00:21:43.080tax you pay provincial tax you pay municipal tax it's 50 and you cannot i know there was a stat out
00:21:51.200there and if i could think of where it was off the top of my head i would find it but that basically
00:21:55.340said that that is approaching failed the banana republic failed society when your tax level gets
00:22:01.800to uh i i believe they said approaching 50 or past that you're not a functioning society anymore
00:22:09.780because at that point people just tap out of the workplace or tap out of the work the economy
00:22:13.620basically because why why should i work to give the government who then gives it to
00:22:18.620you know immigrants that shouldn't be here at why again this is just a small example though
00:22:25.280of economic and financial insecurity1.00
