In this episode, I discuss the concept of "bread and circuses" and how it's been used by dictators to keep their populations busy and busy with entertainment. I also talk about how much better our living standards are than those of ancient Rome and the Roman Empire.
00:03:42.280When we talk about modern day circuses, it's not Barnum and Bailey or, you know, the bearded lady,
00:03:47.160because we see those on the internet every single day.
00:03:50.920It's 24-7 sports and reality TV, social media, streams, celebrity culture, celebrity drama.
00:03:59.240And obviously, the increasing political spectacle as, you know, that elections and the country's political systems have turned into,
00:04:09.000you know, it becomes like a reality TV show, more so in the States.
00:04:12.360But I mean, Canada is really getting up there with the whole political theater and the spectacle, politicized spectacles.
00:04:20.120But of course, it's different now, right?
00:04:23.800You know, we're smarter, we're more technologically advanced, and we're all holding these degrees from these fancy universities and stuff like that.
00:04:32.760And we're more financially aware, right?
00:04:34.920Surely, we're not going to allow the bread and circuses to happen to us.
00:04:40.480Surely, our fate will not be the same as the late Roman Empire or Weimar Germany, to name the two biggest examples.
00:04:55.220Or at the very least, why does the majority fail to notice that this is what's going on?
00:05:00.240So, I think it can be chalked up to a few things, based on my observations.
00:05:07.320So, despite the third world and the Jews working their hardest to change this, the reality is the living standards are still the highest they've been in human history for the median person.
00:05:21.760And I mean, like, the median white American Canadian, the white European, white Westerner.
00:05:28.780I mean, again, it's subjective, right, to where you live, what your quality of standards of living are.
00:05:34.540But they're still the highest that they've been in human history, thanks to us and our innovation and all that stuff.
00:05:41.500You know, we have air conditioning, smartphones, Amazon, you know, and indulgence, right?
00:06:28.660So, that's something that modern society or modern, you know, bread and circuses has that they didn't before.
00:06:36.040And the bread is no longer like physical bread or food.
00:06:39.720It's wrapped in the language of, you know, rights and social justice, which makes it feel morally deserved, rather than politically manipulative.
00:06:50.780So, by using those words, it's like, it's kind of like how the book Lying with Statistics, it's just lying with words, right?
00:06:57.420Which is, people use words to get across, to hide a point, to embellish a point, you know what I mean?
00:07:04.700And so, by wrapping these things up in the words of social justice, or, you know, anything that has to do with the social fabric of the society, or rights, or anything like that,
00:07:15.800you get all the lefties, and even the moderates in the middle of the spectrum politically.
00:07:22.000You get them all feeling like it's a morally deserved thing.
00:07:32.200You have a right to build a home for yourself.
00:07:36.700You have a right to, unfortunately, the state owns all the property.
00:07:39.720But, you know, back in the day, you didn't have a right, you weren't just given here.
00:07:43.580When you were, they were asked to settle the West, the German and, I think it was a lot of Germans, basically, that came over and settled the West of Canada.
00:07:53.240They weren't given a built home, you know?
00:07:56.260They weren't given, like, they may have been given some land, but that was it.
00:08:00.180They weren't entitled to all the luxuries that, you know, maybe somebody who had been in Canada for 20, 30 more years and have already built their home and stuff like that has.
00:08:14.120And if you look into the rights of Canada, which we have very few, there is nowhere that it states in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that you are entitled to have a home with all the benefits and stuff like that, that that entails.
00:08:28.340Like, because if that was the case, we wouldn't have homeless people.
00:08:31.020So they turn it into something that is, you know, morally just, basically.
00:08:35.060That was a lot of words to say that, but, you know, me, I like to talk.
00:08:39.160And the difference, too, now is the real political power has migrated onto, like, unelected bureaucrats.
00:08:46.200So, like, the banks, corporations, multinational corps, NGOs, the three-letter agencies, you know, like the, that's, I guess, more so in the U.S., the three-letter agencies.
00:09:03.720Brussels, you know, Davos, WEF, you know, is another example.
00:09:08.640And they're all deliberately boring and technocratic, and it gives the perfect camouflage for what they actually are doing.
00:09:16.860So this is some of the common themes we see in modern-day bread and circuses.
00:09:24.860Now, I think COVID-19, con did, I like to call it, because I still don't believe that it was nearly as dangerous as they told us.
00:09:35.100And, again, that's another, one of these days I'm going to harness all the fucking anger I have and, and everything about COVID and put it together into, like, one badass video or stream where I'm just going to go totally fucking off on everything.
00:09:53.060But I've been trying to harness it because, you know, I just might sound like a crazy schizo, which maybe I am, but it, it just blows my mind what they did to us and how most people have already forgotten how most people are lining up for boosters and they're wearing masks again.
00:10:09.420It's just, to me, I, maybe I don't understand the human condition.
00:10:13.040So, anyways, COVID-19 was the ultimate stress test, right?
00:10:18.620The lockdowns plus the massive, what would they, what did they call it here?
00:10:24.880They called it the, I don't know, whatever they were paying people, the COVID pay or whatever it is they called it, the COVID loans and stuff like that.
00:10:33.200You know, people had unlimited access at this point to, you know, Netflix, Netflix, Disney, all these things were starting to really ramp up and people forget during COVID.
00:10:41.980But I don't know if you remember, like, one of the big things Netflix has, which I watched and I fucking found it hilarious, but it was kind of like the start of it was the Tiger King.
00:10:50.920I called for help twice and not a, fuck you, what do you need or nothing.
00:10:57.980So it was the start of that reality slop drama fucking shit that has now taken over all of these platforms and has people scrolling and scrolling and basically rotting their minds watching this.
00:11:10.280This is the TikTok again, another example, right?
00:11:14.200Hundreds of millions of people simultaneously experienced the purest form of bread and circuses governance in history.
00:11:39.180The reality is that you are not truly happy.
00:11:43.400You are content and there is a big difference.
00:11:46.160You're placated because you to admit that you are unhappy would be to admit that you fell for all of it and that you never noticed what was going on.
00:11:57.360And a lot of people really don't want to admit that they done fucked up.
00:12:01.700As a Western nation, Canada, Canada is included in this macro group.
00:12:10.880In fact, Canada probably ranks in the top three for this kind of society.
00:12:16.500How do we know that's what you are here for?
00:12:20.420Let's get to the absolute insanity that I talked about at the beginning of just a week or two in Canada.
00:12:27.900Of course, the most glaring example is after a week's news cycle is over.
00:12:32.520Most people forget what happened last week because we made the finals in some sports event consisting of a team of non-Canadians.
00:12:42.100And while you were distracted by that, and I was too, I'm not going to lie, listen, I'm not lying.
00:12:47.140So this is what was really happening in Canada.
00:12:52.760If you haven't been on the Twitter streets in the last week or so, because I know some of our, not just Canadians, I mean, it's mostly the Australians that are getting banned from X, the free speech platform, Elon.
00:13:06.500But, you know, there's some of our fallen friends as well.
00:13:10.060So anyways, if you have not been on the X streets this week, there was a breaking bombshell that came out.
00:13:19.280I mean, it came out, but I can't say, I don't know, I wasn't surprised, but maybe some people would be.
00:13:25.680It reveals that Canada lets in refugees via an app on their phone.
00:14:05.020When it was done there, that's changed to a system that's called OneTouch.
00:14:10.020So essentially we get tombstone data, we do some biometrics, and the claimant is then allowed into the country to complete their security screening and such on their own through the OneTouch system.
00:14:21.800They have, I believe it's 45 days to submit that, meaning, in essence, to speed things up, because we are short-staffed, we're allowing people into the country without first doing that security screening.
00:14:36.980So you're saying that a refugee claimant coming to Canada goes to a machine and says, I want to be a refugee in Canada, hits a button and they're in the country?
00:14:50.320Yeah, it's not a machine, it's an application.
00:14:53.100So the OneTouch system, they're given instructions on how to use that, that connects directly with IRCC, and they're given that documentation to complete on their own once they're in the country.
00:15:02.800We're not doing that up front with them anymore.
00:15:04.100So basically they take out their phone, theoretically, and they tap it a few times, and they are now in the country as a refugee, accepted by our country?
00:15:13.040Yes, we get some basic data from them, and again, we do the biometrics.
00:15:16.460Beyond that, they're doing that on their own, yes.
00:15:18.440So no human interaction, your members do not ask any questions, don't confirm anything, it's a free-for-all into the country that way?
00:15:27.640Very little, I don't know if I'd use the term free-for-all, but for the most part, it's self-declaration on the claimant's part, yes.
00:15:34.620And so from your perspective and your members' perspective, this is not a good thing?
00:15:39.980I want to stop this for a second here, because they're going on the honor system while letting in the most dishonorable people on the fucking planet.
00:15:58.800It's during the interview, and again, I spoke to it in my opening statement about human interaction.
00:16:04.100That's where we ask follow-up questions, that's where we establish whether there's coaching, whether it's legitimate claim, that's how those files are built so they can be dealt with properly.
00:16:14.780Later, that's where we gain that intelligence, and that's currently been lost, not to mention that about 10% never complete the forms through one touch.
00:16:23.380So you figure with about 100,000 claimants a year, that's about 10,000 people who are allowed into Canada who we just, they disappear.
00:16:32.000Then it's our inland officers that have to find them and remove them, so you're adding additional burdens down the road.
00:16:37.660So 10,000 potential false claimants coming into that system that have to be removed as well.
00:16:45.800And when you think about this, that's the end of that, but we have more, trust me, it doesn't end there.
00:16:51.960But when you think about that, 10,000 doesn't sound like a lot, but Canada still, our population is still not as large, of course, as the U.S.
00:17:03.460So, and these people, Canada is not a place like the U.S. where most of the land in the U.S. is inhabited at some point, in some degree, to some degree.
00:17:15.540Canada, we don't have that, they're concentrated, most people are concentrated along the Canadian-U.S. border, and there's not that many, you know, different cities along there.
00:17:26.940So, 10,000 people, not only are they, you know, weren't screened in physical person, they weren't even, they didn't even fill out the fucking paperwork.
00:17:37.160So, 10,000 people gone into the ether of Canada, likely, again, working as, you know, Uber Eats or whatever, there's the scam thing going on where they, people loan out their Uber accounts or whatever to, you know, their relatives or whoever to make money.
00:17:56.100And then he goes on to say that then the land agents have to worry about finding them and getting rid of them.
00:18:04.120So, does anybody, has anybody heard of any deportations that were going on in Canada?
00:18:08.860Like, I've heard of the odd one or two.
00:18:11.100Most of it is just judges trying to defend and reduce sentences for immigrant criminals that shouldn't have been allowed here in the first place to avoid deportation.
