Raging Dissident Podcast - e1. ＂I DARE YOU＂

00:00:00.000 First, you've got to get mad!

00:00:02.000 You are a violation of the terms of service!

00:00:05.140 Your content does not conform to community guidelines! 0.95

00:00:10.320 Leader of a white nationalist group, Diagolo!

00:00:13.700 Yes, I'm the bad guy now.

00:00:15.400 If that's how it's gonna be, then that's how it's gonna be.

00:00:17.960 You've gotta say, I'm a human being! 0.99

00:00:20.040 God damn it! 0.99

00:00:21.100 My life has value! 1.00

00:00:22.600 You, sir, you are a terrorist. 0.97

00:00:27.540 I had my first combat experience. 0.99

00:00:30.000 on May 7th of 2007.

00:00:32.960 I had just turned 21 years old six weeks earlier.

00:00:36.220 It was a route clearance operation

00:00:37.740 through a little village called Nalgam

00:00:39.640 in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

00:00:41.940 Moved from A to B down the road

00:00:43.960 through the village and proved the route clear,

00:00:46.800 which is a delicate way of saying,

00:00:48.520 we're going to go poke a hornet's nest with a stick

00:00:50.220 and see if anything comes out.

00:00:52.180 We'd done this a couple of times,

00:00:54.000 a couple dozen times already,

00:00:55.600 as we'd been in the country for a few months at that point. 0.97

00:00:58.040 A good friend of mine, Kevin McGinney from Stellarton, Nova Scotia, was killed in a tragically stupid friendly fire incident just before my birthday.

00:01:09.360 And a month later, our platoon lost six men to an IED and another grievously injured on Easter Sunday. 0.92

00:01:16.240 I hadn't known the burning desire for violence that comes with real hatred until then.

00:01:22.640 As we approached the village of Nalgam just after sunrise on the morning of May 7th,

00:01:28.780 crammed knee-to-knee in the back of a LAV-3 armored personnel carrier

00:01:31.820 where it was already 25 degrees by 6 a.m.,

00:01:35.420 an ominous radio report warned that women and children were leaving the village

00:01:39.000 and had all of us look at each other with the anxious seriousness

00:01:42.460 of men who were about to go into battle for the first time.

00:01:47.000 Around 80 of us dismounted our vehicles as the terrain narrowed

00:01:50.580 and wouldn't permit much more vehicle movement going forward.

00:01:54.960 We had one leopard tank that took up the point position on the road,

00:01:58.140 and the rest of us formed up behind it in two lines.

00:02:01.780 The eerie quiet of the morning felt different somehow,

00:02:04.280 like the air was holding its breath, maybe. 0.65

00:02:06.760 We watched what looked like over 100 women and children

00:02:08.920 hurrying out of the village toward the open desert road,

00:02:11.960 and on rubbery legs, we walked forward behind the tank.

00:02:15.440 I was a machine gunner at that time

00:02:17.060 and happened to be the last man in the formation,

00:02:19.600 so I had a clear view, uh, and one or two minutes later, when I, what looked like a Hollywood set

00:02:26.820 erupted right in front of me. Red tracer rounds ripped through the air, directly at us from

00:02:32.280 numerous machine guns and several RPGs, an unmistakable sound that I learned to fear

00:02:36.480 and respect appropriately. They screamed over our heads of our men and mine, while the third

00:02:42.820 slammed into a retaining wall just along the left side of the road, just missing the tank by inches

00:02:47.820 and exploded into a fireball the size of a detached garage

00:02:51.180 while the tracer rounds continued to snap between the antennas

00:02:54.920 on the top of the tank and slam into the dirt around us.

00:02:58.960 I was already on one knee for my part of the column

00:03:02.720 waiting to continue to keep moving

00:03:04.800 when everyone in the company had dove for the ground at once

00:03:08.660 and while I, probably in shock, awe, or just simply wondrous disbelief,

00:03:13.900 knelt there watching it all happen.

00:03:16.000 It was probably only a second or two.

00:03:17.820 before I reacted and got down into the ditch to my right.

00:03:21.020 But time is a different experience altogether on days like this,

00:03:25.120 and it felt more like a full 30 seconds.

00:03:28.660 The tank began generously returning fire from its machine guns and cannon

00:03:32.880 while half of our men peeled off to the left

00:03:34.960 and toward the maze of grape rows, walls, and mud buildings.

00:03:39.200 My half went to the right side.

00:03:41.700 There would be periods of intense fire exchanged for two to three minutes

00:03:44.280 and then almost a comically opposite silence

00:03:46.780 and semi-casual sauntering forward

00:03:49.040 in the sweltering heat for 30 or 40 minutes

00:03:50.960 and this would go on back and forth.

00:03:53.620 At one point I reached down for a snack

00:03:55.260 into my right leg cargo pocket

00:03:57.220 where I had kept a strawberry protein shake

00:04:00.020 but discovered it was gone

00:04:01.100 and my pocket along with it.

00:04:03.600 I found it later, torn in half by a bullet,

00:04:06.720 spilled on the ground.

00:04:08.120 It had literally been shot off of my body

00:04:10.240 but I have no memory of this.

00:04:14.840 I don't remember that happening,

00:04:15.980 and I had more close calls later to come that day

00:04:19.300 in the weeks and months ahead.

00:04:21.260 I'm legally deaf in my left ear

00:04:23.340 from one of these such exchanges.

00:04:25.900 My section of soldiers were holding a position

00:04:28.220 along a small road,

00:04:30.020 crouched behind a low wall

00:04:31.080 with a larger 8- to 10-foot wall behind us.

00:04:34.980 And behind the low wall is a field of open ground,

00:04:37.180 100 meters long maybe,

00:04:38.240 with the rest of our company in tank

00:04:39.580 covering us, we were ordered to cross it.

00:04:44.600 It felt like an extremely dangerous and poor choice of action, 1.00

00:04:49.340 but luckily the enemy Taliban fighters opposite us 1.00

00:04:51.660 were not very experienced and did not wait

00:04:54.400 until we got too far into the field to attack us.

00:04:57.100 They fired on us almost immediately.

00:04:59.460 I had gotten maybe 10 feet, 10 paces,

00:05:02.620 and there were another six men to my right.

00:05:05.160 One of them, my fireteam partner, Brad, yelled incoming.

00:05:09.580 He yelled and I snapped my head to look in the direction

00:05:12.240 as he was yelling and pointing to

00:05:15.580 to see a man in blue Afghan dress, black beard,

00:05:21.160 pointing an RPG directly at me.

00:05:25.800 My heart skipped a beat.

00:05:28.440 He had to drop on us and I had played enough shooter video games

00:05:31.860 to know, in this scenario,

00:05:34.460 I was about to be seriously injured or killed.

00:05:36.940 and i remember distinctly being disappointed that they were going to get me i thought about my mom

00:05:44.540 and dad it was a terrible feeling he fired the rocket as i was looking at him uh him looking at

00:05:53.300 me me looking at him and i started falling and turning to my right felt like it was in slow

00:05:58.740 motion i closed my eyes on the way down and almost the same time as i hit the ground i felt the heat

00:06:03.580 and the vibration from the blast in my bones.

00:06:06.920 I thought my teeth had been knocked out.

00:06:09.160 For two or three seconds, it was just quiet.

00:06:12.440 I opened my eyes and looked up to see the leaves

00:06:15.380 from an ancient olive tree spinning and fluttering to the ground

00:06:19.580 all around me, and just out of arm's length

00:06:23.720 was a smoldering, steaming piece of steel,

00:06:27.880 probably from the warhead that Brad quickly grabbed and pocketed

00:06:31.460 and looked at me and said,

00:06:32.960 souvenir. I fast realized that besides the loud ringing in my head and everything sounding like

00:06:39.000 it was underwater, I was unharmed. The rocket had hit a lone olive tree that just to my front,

00:06:45.420 about seven meters away. Had it hit the ground, the low wall, the high wall behind me, anything

00:06:50.160 else, I certainly would have been killed. After I collected myself and decided semi-open ground

00:06:56.320 wasn't the most intelligent place to be, surrounded by green grape leaves in a desert

00:07:00.320 brown uniform I hurried back behind the low wall crawled 20 or so meters to my left so I could

00:07:05.860 reappear in a different position and the enemy had just saw us in saw me in and get in position with

00:07:11.620 my c9 light machine gun to return the favor when he popped his head back up and he did exactly that

00:07:17.280 in the same place as he was a minute ago with a fresh rocket in the tube my throat tightened up

00:07:23.940 i think i stopped breathing i couldn't really feel my hands inside the sweat-soaked gloves

00:07:31.560 i was wearing and i looked at him through my optic scanning he was scanning in our direction

00:07:36.880 his upper body was recklessly overexposed i couldn't miss at this distance with this weapon

00:07:42.200 i touched the trigger of my gun with my finger and as i was about to squeeze off this man's life

00:07:48.140 ears still ringing heart pounding head spinning a bit he and his partner exploded

00:07:54.720 into a cloud of dust and red mist rpg tube went spinning into the air like zeus had thrown a

00:08:02.200 hockey stick or something unfortunately for him and myself suffering a fairly ruined emotional

00:08:07.960 climax our leopard tank crew had observed this exchange and were also patiently waiting on him

00:08:13.080 to pop up again, being as they were inside a very large, loud, green armored target.

00:08:17.720 Rocket teams were a threat that those guys were not enthusiastic in tolerating being

00:08:22.560 alive for very long.

00:08:25.020 There were more experiences like this waiting for me that day, the following day, and many

00:08:29.720 days ahead.

00:08:30.740 We weren't scheduled to go home until well into August.

00:08:33.980 And if you were to go home earlier, it's because you went home missing pieces or you went home

00:08:39.360 in a box.

00:08:39.840 joining the military and volunteering to deploy to the front lines in Afghanistan was a decision

00:08:46.060 that came to point the way for the rest of my life i had a naive and immature outlook on the

00:08:52.600 military global affairs our government and the nature of war but the bonds and experiences that

00:08:58.100 are formed in combat are as real as real can get i learned what it meant to love the other men like

00:09:04.520 brothers and uncles, like family, poking fun at each other, getting to know each other,

00:09:11.100 celebrating our unique cultural quirks, whether it be from Cape Breton, Newfoundland, Quebec,

00:09:15.040 or Alberta, to see and experience how far we will go for one another.

00:09:21.020 We lived together, we fought together, we killed together, and then we buried our boys

00:09:27.360 together.

00:09:29.640 Too often, we still do.

00:09:30.880 it's strange to be that far away in an alien hostile world and at times you still feel at

00:09:39.900 home because the people around you they make it feel like home they look like home they sound

00:09:44.980 like home they talk like home they laugh and joke like home they are home they are Canada

00:09:54.500 I experienced us at our lowest

00:09:59.160 I also saw it bring out the best in us

00:10:02.220 Afghanistan on the other side of the world 1.00

00:10:06.160 the graveyard of empires they call it 1.00

00:10:09.460 as far away as any of us can be

00:10:11.060 is where I learned what it meant to be

00:10:14.140 Canadian

00:10:14.940 I admired or even revered the army

00:10:20.100 as a young boy

00:10:21.080 being a soldier I was

00:10:22.540 really all I ever wanted to do. It seemed like the coolest thing. It was serious. It was meaningful.

00:10:30.660 It was a challenge. I grew up feeling insecure and inadequate. When I joined the Army, I was 130

00:10:38.080 pounds. I felt weak, and I was. I was weak. I had a chip on my shoulder, and I wanted to prove

00:10:45.240 something to myself and to everyone else. I felt like I needed to earn my manhood, and for me,

00:10:50.080 anything less than full participation. During wartime, when the opportunity came, it felt like

00:10:56.020 hiding. My true inner self needed to do this. I needed, I needed to experience this. I'd always

00:11:03.860 been curious, though, and skeptical of people and authority. I watched the 9-11 attacks unfold like

00:11:12.040 many of our generation. I was still in high school on a break period at home, and I walked

00:11:16.220 into the living room to see my mother, horrified, watching the news just in time for the second

00:11:22.700 plane to hit. It was a quiet and anxious family dinner that night as every news station was

00:11:28.220 predicting a war of revenge and all I can remember anyone saying was my mother, well your father's

00:11:34.980 too old and you're too young. She was half right. The spectacle and excitement of the 0.54

00:11:45.940 whole ordeal had everyone's imaginations running wild but still even as it happened something felt

00:11:51.840 off i knew it i could sense it and much of the story didn't make sense it changed seemingly

00:11:58.000 hour to hour and i still remember live news reports detailing captured middle eastern men

00:12:03.720 in a van on the george washington bridge passports cash suspicious circumstances

00:12:10.880 Paul and Sivan Kurzberg, later known Mossad agents, would become to be referred to as the famous or infamous dancing Israelis.

00:12:19.740 Eyewitness firemen and police reporting bombs and explosions detonating inside the tower complex and many other strange contradictory stories would continue to appear and disappear in the hours and days ahead.

00:12:29.700 BBC even reported Building 7 collapsing almost a full half hour before it actually did.

00:12:35.700 And all of this is to say that the whole affair was more than a little bit suspect.

00:12:40.760 The media brainwashing machine did its work in framing the narrative and laboring anyone asking questions as potentially terrorist sympathizers.

00:12:49.080 I was even thrown out of one of my own high school classes for insisting the whole thing was confusing and didn't make any sense.

00:12:56.520 It was a classic media psyop, the first I would live through and observe closely.

00:13:03.380 There would be more in the years to come, most recently with COVID, and I'd learned the pattern of deception early.

00:13:10.160 This is what happened. What you see with your own eyes did not happen. Previously celebrated experts are now quacks and lunatics. Anyone asking questions is disloyal. Potentially a terrorist sympathizer.

00:13:23.700 President George Bush famously said, you're either with us or you're with the terrorists.

00:13:32.360 You're not a doctor. Trust the science or else do what we say or we'll hurt you. It was all very

00:13:37.200 familiar. But at 17, what do you do? What was I to do? I hadn't the information or the experience

00:13:43.360 or the confidence to call anyone's bluff. I was barely able to shave. And the seductive allure

00:13:49.280 of the great adventure in war

00:13:51.220 that I had grown up romanticizing

00:13:52.820 was just too much to ignore.

00:13:55.060 And that's really what is so

00:13:57.440 absolutely beyond disgusting

00:13:59.760 about our enemies. 0.99

00:14:01.700 They will lie, they'll cheat,

00:14:03.680 they'll manipulate and they'll deceive.

00:14:04.860 They will zero in

00:14:05.760 on the wonderful, beautiful thing

00:14:08.440 that our young people have in their heart,

00:14:10.040 a passion and desire

00:14:11.120 to fight for the innocent,

00:14:13.240 for justice,

00:14:13.860 to defend our homes and our families

00:14:15.480 and use it against them like a weapon.

00:14:19.280 they leverage our patriotism and love for each other to deceive us into fighting wars for them

00:14:25.040 so they can make money sell drugs destroy resistance and rewrite history to suit their

00:14:29.860 own perverted needs all the while politicians get rich playing the game the media runs cover

00:14:34.900 for them and attacks dissenters private citizens with no resources or agenda while our young men

00:14:40.180 and women die horrible senseless deaths on the other side of the world far from home in a place

00:14:44.580 They can hardly spell or pronounce.

00:14:49.880 This is what evil looks like.

00:14:52.480 And these issues and questions not yet fully explored

00:14:54.760 still nagged at me.

00:14:55.700 Surviving the fighting is actually the easy part.

00:14:59.500 It's a lot of luck, really.

00:15:02.260 And it becomes a part of you forever.

00:15:04.620 It imprints onto your soul.

00:15:06.700 You take it home with you, 0.93

00:15:07.680 and it has the rest of your life to finish killing you. 0.58

00:15:12.800 It often succeeds.

00:15:14.580 I struggled with emotional regulation for years and it was very difficult to maintain

00:15:22.580 relationships outside of the army and it cost me a few. The confusion of none of it adding up to

00:15:31.580 anything that made sense caused considerable stress deep in my psyche and as suicide after

00:15:38.120 suicide I watched friends continue to die long after the guns had stopped and the desert heat

00:15:42.380 had faded into memory.

00:15:45.840 Even now, they still die.

00:15:49.080 On the outside,

00:15:50.680 I was Master Corporal McKenzie

00:15:52.940 of 3RCR.

00:15:54.900 I was super fit.

00:15:56.560 I had a tough combat deployment to my name.

00:15:58.600 I'd been to the Special Operations Regiment

00:16:01.160 for a minute.

00:16:01.900 On paper, I had a promising career ahead of me.

00:16:04.120 I was waiting on a promotion to sergeant.

00:16:07.940 But on the inside,

00:16:09.340 I was very angry. 0.75

00:16:12.380 I was so angry, I could kill someone.

00:16:20.200 And I didn't really know why.

00:16:22.360 I felt like a coiled spring on a hair trigger.

00:16:27.740 Friends and family were afraid of me.

00:16:31.540 I didn't want them to be, and I didn't know how to stop it.

00:16:35.600 The Army doctors, they just throw pills at you, at me, at all of us.

00:16:39.040 The pharmaceutical companies were making a fortune.

00:16:42.380 on us, on the taxpayer, for something that wasn't helping any of us at all as far as I could see.

00:16:48.940 I would lean on escapism and self-medicating. All I could do was what I'd always done as a

00:16:54.100 soldier, keep marching, keep working, go to the next objectives, just survive till the weekend.

00:17:00.160 Little by little, I felt like a tire, slowly leaking air. I could pump it back up,

00:17:06.080 but it wouldn't last. As fate would have it, just before my first child was born, I would have

00:17:11.020 another significant near-death experience. During a training exercise in Panawawa,

00:17:17.440 I was riding a snowmobile too quickly, trying to keep up with more experienced riders ahead of me.

00:17:23.300 Coming down a hill, there was a sharp turn. To the right, I slammed the brake, but the trail was icy

00:17:28.120 and didn't catch. I looked down at the speedometer. It was somewhere over 90 in my head. Once again,

00:17:35.740 I felt resigned to my fate, this time more of a classic Ricky Bobby fashion of I'm going in the

00:17:43.120 woods. This is not good. I knew I was about to be seriously injured or probably even killed.

00:17:51.120 And my second last thought was how disappointed and sad that I was I wouldn't meet my own son.

00:17:57.440 The last thought that I had was to decide to jump off to the left or to the right.

00:18:01.760 I chose the far right

00:18:03.940 and as I rapidly flew towards a thick forest

00:18:07.500 I jumped just before impacting a tree

00:18:09.760 I remember a thud sound

00:18:11.600 a sensation of being airborne

00:18:12.880 and then nothing

00:18:13.860 I blinked

00:18:15.680 opened my eyes

00:18:17.700 and once again

00:18:19.940 the gods, my guardian angels

00:18:22.380 the devil himself

00:18:23.660 who knows

00:18:24.560 seemed to have spared me

00:18:26.140 I sat up and I looked around

00:18:27.800 and I was lying in a patch of snow

00:18:30.680 just barely big enough for myself, surrounded by huge rocks, fallen trees, large branches,

00:18:36.280 deadfall. I could hear the guys shouting my name and looking for me, and somehow I wasn't

00:18:43.240 impaled or decapitated. I did, however, have a decent concussion and a fairly severely walloped

00:18:50.820 left leg that had bruised right down to the bone and needed a few months of rehab and physiotherapy.

00:18:57.520 They never did find the helmet, and the snowmobile was completely destroyed.

00:19:02.920 My sergeant major was majorly concerned about explaining the loss of the snowmobile.

00:19:08.800 With a good amount of time on the couch ahead of me, I had an opportunity to watch TV, relax,

00:19:16.460 and at that time in 2014, explore the unregulated, uncensored Wild West of burgeoning social media and YouTube.

00:19:24.520 The desire to investigate some long-ignored deep questions about the nature of our involvement in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, Syria, and elsewhere, and always 9-11 that kicked off this whole circus in the first place, drove much of my activity during those months of recovery.

00:19:40.280 other people are more qualified to explain the specifics and much of that information that which

00:19:46.380 has now gone mainstream i'm sure you're aware but i'd rather uh refer you to them for the specifics

00:19:51.720 but to the point what i learned about the war project for a new american century operation

00:19:58.440 able danger clean break memo the anthrax story urban moving systems israeli mossad

00:20:03.700 bb netanyahu what was happening in palestine the greater israel project prominent state

00:20:10.260 eight figures openly laughing about demographic replacement.

00:20:15.420 I wanted to scream, and I did. 0.66

00:20:19.640 I got up, and I hobbled on my sore leg to a running trail, 0.88

00:20:23.760 and I wanted to tear off my own face.

00:20:28.120 Screaming like a wounded animal into my hands, I did. 0.99

00:20:31.900 I wanted to vomit.

00:20:35.760 A lot of gaps were filled.

00:20:40.260 Questions were answered with names, dates, companies, banking ledgers, plots, and schemes

00:20:44.440 unknown to me over the decades, and it hurt.

00:20:49.300 It hurt because I knew it was true, and I didn't want it to be, and it took me another

00:20:54.180 two years to fully internalize and digest the gravity of what the truth meant for me

00:21:00.240 as an individual, as a Canadian, as a soldier, a man, and now a father.

00:21:05.960 I had to face myself in the mirror and acknowledge that everything that I had let myself believe

00:21:11.820 was a lie. I was just a stormtrooper for the Empire.

00:21:19.260 Bright-eyed boy who just wanted to be of use and service to his people.

00:21:23.280 I trusted them, and they lied to me. They lied to all of us.

00:21:28.860 One lie led to another, and then another. I'd already nearly lost my life on operations and in

00:21:34.680 training numerous times and now with children at home the great adventure didn't look shiny

00:21:39.380 and exciting anymore it was dull and rotten decorated with the graves of too many friends

00:21:44.600 i was introduced to the concept of a moral injury look that one up because when i did

00:21:52.360 i felt a sensation rush up my spine like something had been unlocked

00:21:57.020 I was still very, very angry, but now I had a much clearer explanation why that was.

00:22:05.900 I wasn't traumatized for violence or combat.

00:22:09.180 I was traumatized to my core by a betrayal so deep and unthinkable to me that my great-grandchildren will probably be born angry about it.

00:22:18.760 going to war in my opinion is the most extreme and altering experience that anyone can go through

00:22:29.100 it borders on a religious experience and intensity and its consequences you will

00:22:33.360 never be the same to accept and knowingly proceed with an undertaking of this very

00:22:39.400 serious magnitude requires that those involved those who risk life and limb while taking the

00:22:46.020 lives of others can mentally, emotionally, and spiritually justify, weigh, and accept the

00:22:51.100 circumstances. It has to make sense. It has to be justified. Two plus two must equal four.

00:22:58.660 But it didn't. Didn't equal four. Or 14. Or any number that anyone could reasonably calculate

00:23:06.060 and not come off like a desperate lunatic fit for a CBC panel of experts. We didn't ask questions.

00:23:12.720 we trusted the authorities to do their jobs they didn't and they would rather jail me

00:23:19.000 than hear about the consequences of their betrayal 1.00

00:23:21.920 we spent time patrolling and guarding opium crops that were then used by the sackler family and 1.00

00:23:29.260 others disgusting monsters to poison entire generations of people that you can now see 0.99

00:23:34.780 in full bloom on the streets of our cities at home i watched cbc declare that they had 0.98

00:23:40.260 investigated rumors of routine sexual abuse by children of children by afghan authorities that

00:23:47.020 we knew ask anyone was widespread and they found it to be isolated incidents at best

00:23:53.160 many soldiers including myself were witness to this and told to ignore it

00:24:00.400 and here's the great cbc telling us that our own lived experiences didn't happen

00:24:10.260 Memoirs by American and British generals, both alike, detailed their attempts to relieve undermanned Canadian battle groups in Kandahar, taking casualties well above the norm.

00:24:20.060 Our casualties per unit were comparable to those in Vietnam.

00:24:23.900 But the Stephen Harper government was reported saying that they liked the optics of being a wartime government.

00:24:30.260 so allow me on behalf of my dead murdered brothers that you conservatives are so very

00:24:39.920 welcome that their lives could be used for political gain you're welcome

00:24:44.360 and in the end what was it all for ottawa got tired of the strain and the cost of a war that

00:24:52.080 became politically unpopular so we just simply packed up and left an entire generation of men

00:24:56.720 just like Vietnam, were forced to watch all of their effort and sacrifice go down the toilet

00:25:02.100 on national television. No one apologized. No one explained. I can say with certainty that

00:25:10.360 friends of mine took this very hard. One in particular who hung his hat on that effort.

00:25:17.220 His belief that it was necessary for the greater good and it all evaporated in front of his eyes

00:25:21.760 and two plus two came up to be scrambled eggs.

00:25:25.520 He never recovered, and he took his own life.

00:25:31.680 This internal confusion goes to the core,

00:25:36.040 to the deepest level,

00:25:38.380 and the imbalance that it causes

00:25:41.420 creates friction in your soul.

00:25:45.620 That friction is like metal on metal grinding.

00:25:48.180 it causes pain and mental illness and it manifests itself in desperate and self-destructive ways like

00:25:54.880 a confused frightened wild animal that suddenly found itself inside of someone's living room

00:26:00.020 the soldier knows what happened but can't really square it as to why it happened and when he gets

00:26:08.360 home it's as if it never happened life goes on the home side of the world is completely unaffected

00:26:18.180 like it happened in a vacuum, and it's almost like gaslighting your own spirit.

00:26:22.780 I recently had a conversation with a Canadian man in his late 50s

00:26:25.440 who didn't know we had sent soldiers to Afghanistan at all.

00:26:28.440 It was so important, so important to the Canadian people 0.99

00:26:32.260 that we go and fight and kill and die, 1.00

00:26:34.380 but they hardly seem aware that it even happened, or do they even care?

00:26:40.240 So what's really going on here?

00:26:42.560 Courageous young men give away their lives, their health, their sanity,

00:26:45.920 and return home to discover, let me tell you, haven't we discovered, boys?

00:26:52.240 That outside of our immediate families and those directly affected,

00:26:56.300 does anyone really care?

00:26:58.600 Least of all the politicians who grotesquely masquerade as caring the most.

00:27:03.660 We must, we must, they said.

00:27:06.820 And then they turn around and treat us like disposable parts to be thrown away and forgotten. 0.85

00:27:11.360 until of course the next time that their owners demand another blood sacrifice for profit ukraine 0.83

00:27:18.540 today iran tomorrow on and on forever and ever amen without an explanation or apology more

00:27:24.120 canadian soldiers committed suicide and died alone grief stricken broken and in pain than

00:27:29.300 there has ever been discovered so-called genocide victims on canadian soil

00:27:33.800 I realized that while only I could untangle this internal mess of balled up Christmas lights in a

00:27:42.520 closet that I had become on the inside, but it would take years still to do, it wasn't actually

00:27:47.180 my fault. I was angry at myself, believing I was weak and I couldn't just sort myself out.

00:27:54.480 but I had been sold a fraudulent bill of goods. This was done to me. It was done to me by

00:28:04.360 outside hostile forces that I can now see and identify. Instead of pointing at myself, it was

00:28:11.160 time to turn the gun around. I'd always only wanted to fight to protect my home and people,

00:28:18.680 and for the first time, I could see clearly where the real fight was and who the real enemy is,

00:28:23.760 And they're right here at home, inside the gates.

00:28:32.100 They're inside the gates.

00:28:34.880 The self-loathing, helplessness that I experienced transformed,

00:28:39.760 evolved into the rage of betrayal.

00:28:44.240 Something inside me changed.

00:28:46.240 You told me to just stop beating yourself up.

00:28:49.740 This isn't your fault.

00:28:50.460 Turn the gun around, young fella.

00:28:53.760 I had to leave. I couldn't stomach what I was doing anymore. The foundational myth was a lie.

00:29:00.280 The romantic, idealistic world that I had grown attached to wasn't true, wasn't real.

00:29:06.740 The belief that what I was doing was for my community, my friends, my family, the people of

00:29:12.200 Canada and our nation was what made it digestible. It's what gave it meaning and purpose. We didn't

00:29:17.860 get paid very much. No one does a career in the infantry because of the pay or the perks or the

00:29:22.760 lifestyle without this belief this understanding in what we were doing it couldn't be justified

00:29:31.860 the price couldn't be paid it couldn't be justified logically mentally emotionally

00:29:37.240 or to my spirit it became hollow and after that the passion and the love I had for the army

00:29:43.220 whatever remained just drained out of me I was faced with this reality and I had to either accept

00:29:48.760 continuing to live what I knew was a lie that was eating me inside, was going against everything

00:29:56.140 that I believed in, twisting me up internally, or take my family and leave. Just leave. Just

00:30:03.620 go home. Figure it out later. I didn't have a plan. I didn't know what to do, what I was

00:30:11.540 going to do, where I was going to go. I didn't have much for savings. I didn't have anything

00:30:16.580 to replace the passion and reason I had for living.

00:30:20.880 All I'd ever wanted to do was be a soldier.

00:30:23.200 That's all I'd ever wanted to be since I was a boy.

00:30:25.480 I never seriously considered doing anything else.

00:30:28.120 As much as any young man and boys want to play in the NHL

00:30:31.680 or in the NFL or become a successful musician or whatever,

00:30:35.120 whatever dream they have.

00:30:37.200 That was how much I wanted to be a soldier.

00:30:40.860 And now it was gone.

00:30:43.720 And it was very difficult.

00:30:46.580 Not only that, but everything that had happened.

00:30:49.820 The guys that died.

00:30:51.640 All of the things we did.

00:30:53.840 All of it was on false pretenses.

00:30:57.060 And I felt sick.

00:30:58.100 I felt sick to my stomach.

00:30:59.680 I felt sick in my head.

00:31:00.820 I felt like guilt.

00:31:01.920 I felt shame. 1.00

00:31:03.480 I felt like an idiot. 1.00

00:31:05.100 I felt like a moron. 1.00

00:31:07.700 The fool. 1.00

00:31:09.080 What a sucker. 1.00

00:31:10.200 You trusted these people. 1.00

00:31:13.700 I could hear them laughing at me.

00:31:16.580 laughing at our dead guys.

00:31:19.600 I thought, well, that serves me right.

00:31:22.460 I should have known better. 1.00

00:31:26.520 Maybe I am an idiot. 1.00

00:31:28.300 The media, politicians, the experts, 1.00

00:31:33.180 they wouldn't lie about such things.

00:31:34.880 Nothing that serious.

00:31:35.820 Nobody's that wretched in real life.

00:31:38.620 They wouldn't go to these lengths.

00:31:40.260 They care.

00:31:41.000 Oh, they care.

00:31:41.900 They would look out for us, wouldn't they?

00:31:43.520 They would make sure things were done properly.

00:31:45.420 They would make sure we were doing the right thing. 0.98

00:31:50.740 Deep down, some small part of me always knew that that was bullshit and to expect the worst. 0.99

00:31:56.860 But the luxury and comfort of that naivety, it nearly got me killed. 0.98

00:32:02.260 You know, they say, what you don't know can't hurt you.

00:32:05.940 Well, yes. Yes, it can.

00:32:08.420 What you don't know can not only hurt you, it can kill you.

00:32:11.040 So not having the right information, the relevant information, the full scope of the story, the truth, you make uninformed decisions, you make the wrong decisions with your life, you choose the wrong things, the wrong jobs, the wrong places, the wrong times, the wrong actions, and you screw up your whole life because somebody lied to you.

00:32:30.440 you believed them, and you trusted them, and you shouldn't have. This was not just any betrayal to

00:32:36.160 me. This betrayal is so profound, so extreme, that I finally understood the depths of how selfish,

00:32:41.720 uncaring, and self-serving, how good at lying they are, and how little guilt they feel.

00:32:46.920 We live in a society where people are offended if you use the wrong gender,

00:32:52.500 use the wrong word, wrong pronouns. They're mean to your rainbow flag. They won't just

00:32:59.400 blindly buy into some sort of concocted genocide narrative you feel unsafe you feel harmed they're

00:33:04.940 harmed you're harmed on the internet by mean words we were harmed i was harmed

00:33:15.900 an entire nation was harmed by this grotesque this abhorrent lie

00:33:25.060 an entire generation of young men and some women go off to their deaths

00:33:30.700 and the ruin continues alcoholism drug abuse destroyed relationships failure to reintegrate

00:33:40.680 and no help is forthcoming just more pills scams opportunities for vampires to profit from the

00:33:47.240 suffering and when the suffering is too much oh don't worry veterans affairs will be there 0.99

00:33:51.260 They'll send you a letter offering an appointment for you to kill yourself. 0.97

00:33:55.740 Where's our apology for that? 0.99

00:33:58.020 Where's the restitution for that?

00:34:00.700 Where's the reconciliation for that?

00:34:04.540 We're not going to talk about it.

00:34:06.800 We're just going to move on. 0.79

00:34:08.020 We're just going to bury it, pretend it didn't happen, and we'll do another war.

00:34:11.900 Another time.

00:34:12.560 We'll start from scratch like it never happened.

00:34:14.080 Like this has always been.

00:34:15.460 Like it's how it's always been.

00:34:16.420 my internal subconscious instinct i learned to trust and it seems to know things before i do

00:34:24.760 i knew i was angry i knew something was really wrong and i knew something somewhere was really

00:34:29.500 out of whack but for a long time i didn't know exactly where now i did now i had a new job to do

00:34:37.960 i thought about some different careers i thought you know some of our guys went off to be firemen

00:34:43.580 It's a noble profession, something that maybe I could do.

00:34:47.160 It's a job that requires a fairly decent level of physical fitness.

00:34:51.180 It's of service, team-based hierarchy with ranks and training standards in many ways similar to the military.

00:34:57.400 But the enemy is fire and preserving life, preserving property and protecting our forests and the country.

00:35:04.140 I also ironically considered, well, maybe being a police officer would be okay for the same reasons.

00:35:11.100 It's of service. There's some real scum out there. 0.99

00:35:13.580 I had family who were career cops, and they're great guys. 0.97

00:35:17.620 What other professions could my skills even transfer to?

00:35:21.300 Discipline, physical fitness, threat assessment, an environment that requires you to be not complacent,

00:35:26.260 following orders, rank structure, training, uniforms, dress department, interaction with the public, all these things.

00:35:31.280 But I was told that I wasn't what they were looking for.

00:35:35.680 I was, you see, a straight white man.

00:35:38.940 The RCMP, the OPP, and the Halifax Police, the Toronto Police,

00:35:42.480 Everywhere I looked said, no, thanks. You're a white guy. We want something else. 0.99

00:35:48.160 One advertisement, I think it was Halifax, said, we want people who speak Farsi and Arabic and

00:35:54.440 Chinese and every other language you've ever seen and heard of. We want women and we want trans

00:35:59.340 people and gay people. We even want disabled people. We want black people and South Asian 0.81

00:36:05.260 people. We want everything else but you. And I thought, wow, it would have just been a lot easier, 1.00

00:36:09.620 guys, had you just said, no white men, please. Could have saved us some time. One of the recruiters

00:36:16.220 even told me, a woman who was retiring from the RCMP, not to waste my time. I said, what do you

00:36:20.960 mean? She said, every year they take about 30 for a class of recruits at the RCMP training center.

00:36:26.780 And if you score in the top 1% of the entire country, which I actually did, I did very well

00:36:31.960 in their testing, that if there were even 30 or 31 trans disabled black women that spoke Farsi

00:36:38.700 and barely passed by a hair,

00:36:40.940 the absolute bare minimum acceptable standard,

00:36:43.260 all of those would be selected, placed, and trained

00:36:46.360 and given jobs over me,

00:36:49.660 over everyone in the top 1%.

00:36:51.680 I could routinely come back and score in the top 1%

00:36:57.600 over and over and never be taken for training

00:36:59.560 and never be given a job

00:37:00.480 because the priority was diversity hiring.

00:37:03.440 And that was 2015 and 2016.

00:37:05.320 Ten years later, I think the effects of those policies across the country are on display for everyone to see.

00:37:12.860 Does anyone need, does anything need to be said about the state of our police forces at this time?

00:37:19.780 Is it clear to everyone what the consequences are of choosing appearances and feelings over ability and competency?

00:37:29.800 I started to get pretty depressed.

00:37:33.100 I felt useless.

00:37:35.320 I belonged nowhere, and nothing I could do was anything anybody wanted.

00:37:41.840 Some friends went off to be mercenaries even, something I'd considered, but I couldn't.

00:37:47.000 I'd never fight someone else's war again, and if I have to fight again someday,

00:37:51.960 if I'm forced to, it will be right here at home where I was born.

00:38:00.780 On the one hand, I was out of the Army.

00:38:02.840 I was free to just enjoy my family and my children and my life on the surface on paper,

00:38:07.020 especially to the people who are, if you're still working on the surface, that may sound

00:38:10.960 amazing. It may sound fantastic. For a little while, it was. For a few months. It's like a

00:38:18.900 long, great vacation. But I discovered that a life of vacation and leisure is not a fulfilling one.

00:38:25.840 work really does set you free a man and a mentor I looked up to in the military once said that

00:38:33.160 every man needs a good mission or his life will go to ship I had no purpose I had no meeting I

00:38:39.620 had no compelling reason to get up every day so I slept a lot I stationed myself at Ford

00:38:45.400 operating base living room couch and reported to my new commanding officer Captain Morgan

00:38:50.080 And what was I for now?

00:38:54.420 Is it really all over?

00:38:56.180 31.

00:38:58.000 Am I just a pension?

00:39:00.180 Paycheck, pay bills, fill the fridge with groceries and watch television.

00:39:06.020 I was an empty shell of a person.

00:39:11.400 One minute, I was a senior NCO in the Army.

00:39:13.900 I was responsible for 10, 20, or sometimes 40 different men,

00:39:17.440 training exercises, automatic weapons, night vision in the dark, armored personnel carriers,

00:39:21.780 high-tech equipment, 20-millimeter cannons, indirect fire, artillery fire, running physical

00:39:26.660 training, teaching leadership courses. I was trusted to take men to war, and now I couldn't

00:39:32.100 even get a job as a part-time volunteer fireman. Turned out this whole idea of Canada's economy

00:39:39.720 and workforce really values veterans. That's not true. That's not true at all. I've come to

00:39:45.440 discover and experience quite the opposite. I could just not stop thinking about and reading

00:39:51.860 about and ruminating about everything that happened while I was in the army, everything

00:39:56.720 that was happening in the country. And I was discovering that the country I'd returned to

00:40:02.500 was not the country that I had left. I never really left it, but when you're in the military

00:40:08.520 in a very intense, objective-focused career like the one that I was in, you're not really

00:40:12.740 paying that much attention. Soldiers aren't politicians. They're not really paying close

00:40:18.700 attention to that. They trust their chain of command. They trust their leadership and they

00:40:21.360 hand themselves over to the will of the nation and say, you point to whomever you need us to

00:40:27.240 go fight and we'll go take care of it. The job is demanding. There are too many requirements and

00:40:33.040 stressors on your mind and body as a professional to have the time to be doing too much extracurricular

00:40:37.580 investigating. You focus on what you need to do and the rest of the time that you do get off,

00:40:42.360 the rare times you do get some time off you just spend it unwinding so when i got out i had time to

00:40:47.220 look around and breathe and see everything that was happening and at first it was funny it was

00:40:52.940 funny because i was naive that it would be that it would take that would take root i i saw what

00:40:57.800 would become to be known as the social justice warriors wokeism the radical left all that stuff

00:41:02.940 and from 2010 to 17 18 it mostly was a joke but they gained ground and institutional power and

00:41:10.040 kept implementing laws and complaining, acting insane. It was easier to just poke fun of it

00:41:16.240 because of how ludicrous and insane it all was. And it was. I really thought it would burn itself 0.96

00:41:23.980 out. I was naive that Canada or anyone would tolerate this for long. I didn't think it would

00:41:29.320 gain institutional power. I believed, I assumed, I'd hoped that there were professionals in our

00:41:36.080 police forces and our military and our institutions and our political offices, our judiciary, our

00:41:40.760 education system. But they were slowly, one at a time, two at a time, five at a time, and then

00:41:45.700 finally, all at once, thanks to COVID, obey or else was the policy. Anyone who questioned or

00:41:53.040 challenged authority of the system was removed from all of these organizations, canceled, purged,

00:42:00.100 to make room for these new

00:42:02.980 neo-communist agitators and activists.

00:42:07.080 Now we live under the totalitarian rule

00:42:12.920 that makes a mockery of democracy 0.99

00:42:14.520 and their front line is supported by yes-men and cowards. 0.97

00:42:19.440 So I started to think that I'll have some fun too. 0.98

00:42:21.980 I'll start poking fun at them.

00:42:23.640 I was pretty influenced by George Carlin.

00:42:25.860 I thought his style of mixing humor with serious topics

00:42:28.020 was something that resonated with me as a young man

00:42:30.020 and fit my personal style of communication and humor.

00:42:32.840 So that's what I try to do.

00:42:34.620 I try to make some YouTube videos about different issues,

00:42:37.920 about free speech, firearm ownership,

00:42:40.640 the value and need of a strong middle class

00:42:42.520 and the consequences that come without one.

00:42:45.380 About Omar Khadr.

00:42:48.200 The Omar Khadr payout that he received

00:42:50.260 of $10.5 million for his poor rights being violated.

00:42:54.280 Because no Canadian soldiers, no Canadians

00:42:56.040 have ever been violated by the government

00:42:57.960 or the powers that be in this country.

00:42:59.300 No, no, no way. We have white privilege, you see. Nomar Carter was violated for killing NATO soldiers like U.S. Army Sergeant Christopher Spear. He was given 10 and a half million dollars. I had an issue with this and so did a lot of Canadians, it turns out. And as fate would have it, he went on to embark in a little speaking engagement. I thought, great. Wow, good for him. Where is that? Well, it's 15 minutes from your house.

00:43:23.760 it felt like the universe was calling me out i believe he lives in edmonton i don't know why

00:43:30.920 he would come all the way here to nova scotia of all places to halifax where i happen to be

00:43:35.740 i felt compelled i felt my honor was at stake in the honor of the canadians he and his friends

00:43:41.880 helped kill it was one of these another one of these decision points to join the military and

00:43:48.860 deployed Afghanistan was one decision point that set me on a new path entirely. They say,

00:43:53.140 you know, every man's life is the result of five or six decisions. I believe that's true. 1.00

00:43:59.680 This was one of those decisions and it cost me a lot. It cost me a great deal more than I want to

00:44:04.160 say, but it also gave me a lot. It set me on a new path in life that I don't regret. So I went to his

00:44:12.060 little speaking engagement. I put my medals on so everyone could see who they were dealing with.

00:44:17.200 I was threatened with violence by Antifa,

00:44:19.920 that I would be attacked if I showed up.

00:44:21.500 And of course, no one did a damn thing. 0.64

00:44:24.100 And I let them have it.

00:44:25.100 I let them all have it.

00:44:26.760 Everyone that went into that theater 0.96

00:44:28.200 to be entertained by a member of the Taliban, 0.99

00:44:30.600 the very same Taliban,

00:44:31.760 who killed Canadian soldiers, citizens,

00:44:33.960 and people like the ones who lived in Halifax,

00:44:36.480 like Christopher Stanix, who was my roommate.

00:44:39.100 Oh, but they named a ferry after him.

00:44:40.500 The Dartmouth to Halifax Ferry.

00:44:41.800 They named it the Christopher Paul Stanix.

00:44:43.400 So there, it's all better.

00:44:45.220 Omar gets $10.5 million,

00:44:47.160 and the white privileged Stanix family

00:44:49.380 gets an old boat with a name stenciled on it.

00:44:54.660 I was denied entry,

00:44:56.260 and I stood out there firing off at the attendees

00:44:58.720 as they went in and as they came out.

00:45:01.740 No one would look at me.

00:45:03.640 They looked at their feet.

00:45:04.720 They wouldn't look me in the eye.

00:45:07.960 Probably over 200 of them.

00:45:09.420 I was right, and they knew it.

00:45:11.980 And then I went home.

00:45:12.980 And the short video taken of me there had gone viral overnight.

00:45:17.000 I was concerned that my fellow soldiers wouldn't understand

00:45:20.000 or, you know, they would cringe at the political involvement.

00:45:24.020 It's not what we're supposed to do.

00:45:26.320 But this was something that I had to do.

00:45:31.620 Anyway, it amassed some millions of views in a few days.

00:45:34.880 And I received hundreds and hundreds of messages of support

00:45:37.220 from soldiers and their families from all over the country.

00:45:39.400 And I answered every single one of them.

00:45:40.700 it took me a few days to do

00:45:43.480 and it confirmed something to me

00:45:45.400 about the spirit and the nature

00:45:46.740 of the Canadian Army at that time

00:45:48.480 that I wasn't wrong

00:45:50.520 and that they appreciated me for saying it.

00:45:54.520 And I love these guys like family.

00:45:57.160 No one ever sticks up for them.

00:46:00.500 They're always stepped on and abused,

00:46:02.960 ignored and taken for granted,

00:46:04.280 but as a professional soldier,

00:46:05.380 it's your job to just grin and bear it.

00:46:07.920 But those rules didn't apply to me anymore.

00:46:11.580 And I was to be damned if this disrespect went on another minute unanswered.

00:46:17.740 And it launched me into doing this.

00:46:20.940 It stopped being a hobby.

00:46:23.560 It stopped being a funny side project and became something else.

00:46:26.700 I started to understand that many of my views and ideas were far more common than I knew.

00:46:32.640 Canadians had a strong tradition of live and let live.

00:46:35.840 Keep it to yourself.

00:46:36.700 Don't rock the boat.

00:46:37.500 Go along and get along, boy.

00:46:38.500 But more and more, the subversive, aggressive, hostile elements in our society weren't playing

00:46:45.260 by those rules anymore, and it was time to start talking back. I just wanted to go and say my piece

00:46:52.120 and be done with it and go home. Go back to making videos, trying to figure out something to do with

00:46:58.120 my life. Instead, I was attacked. I was targeted. I was singled out as if I was some sort of enemy

00:47:05.500 nation or terrorists myself. I was digitally stalked by communist activists who clipped and

00:47:10.880 cut out of context sentences and statements that I had made on different videos and streams of

00:47:15.160 people that I was doing for tiny audiences of 40 to 50 people. I didn't think anybody cared.

00:47:21.480 Why would anyone care? Why should they? I had a tiny YouTube channel of maybe 2,000 subscribers.

00:47:27.240 I was happy to entertain them and mind my own business. And now suddenly I'm being attacked,

00:47:33.040 Not for anything that I said at Dalhousie University that night, but as a person.

00:47:39.020 I was called all sorts of disgusting things by these creatures who had evidently been stalking me for months without my knowledge.

00:47:46.460 They didn't ask me a single question.

00:47:47.960 They didn't try to understand anything.

00:47:51.040 I was naive, and I thought, you know, this is just a misunderstanding.

00:47:54.660 They just don't understand me.

00:47:55.820 I'll explain.

00:47:56.620 I'll explain to them.

00:47:58.280 They didn't want an explanation.

00:47:59.220 They cherry-picked anything that I had to say and spun it against me even further.

00:48:04.280 They just simply hated me.

00:48:07.120 Ironically, these are the people of the engine and the origin of the so-called anti-hate organization in this country.

00:48:13.440 They singled out a very recently retired veteran struggling and coping with the fact that his country was going to hell around him.

00:48:20.220 The one he fought for, his friends like Chris Stanix, Kevin, Donnie, Dave, Brenton, Aaron, and many more died for.

00:48:26.920 And they didn't want to understand. They didn't want to talk. They didn't want to hear anything

00:48:30.820 that I had to say. They didn't want to hear the pain that I had to express. They just wanted to

00:48:36.240 hurt me. So then I was staring at my inbox, trying to make sense of their nasty behavior and

00:48:44.140 deliberate maneuvering around anything reasonable I had to say. And it hit me. Oh, oh, this is a

00:48:51.120 fight. You want to fight me. Oh, I understand fighting. That's something I do understand.

00:48:58.100 I understand that on a level you've only fantasized about in your Marvel movies.

00:49:04.460 Then the game and mentality shifted entirely. You don't negotiate with someone who's trying

00:49:08.040 to hurt you. I did what most people don't do when being socially shamed, and I fought back.

00:49:14.220 I didn't apologize. I didn't shut up and go away, which is what they want. They use shame and guilt

00:49:20.040 as a weapon to force you into shutting up and going away, but I was not the regular neighborhood

00:49:26.100 Reddit-tier activist fighting from the perceived safety of an anonymous account in the dark

00:49:31.940 somewhere. I was carrying the betrayal and rage of a generation of betrayed soldiers,

00:49:41.560 a double-crossed warrior who returned home to find it burning. I'd been a warrior without a war,

00:49:47.320 and they gave me one. The attacks continued, the slander continued, but so did some niche

00:49:52.580 popularity and connection with people who appreciated my sincerity. I didn't have to

00:49:57.080 pretend to be someone else. I just let it all hang out. And those who supported me, they liked me,

00:50:04.240 for me, the real me. And over and over, I would hear how people appreciated what I was saying,

00:50:11.200 saying what they were thinking or what they couldn't say.

00:50:13.620 And I started to believe maybe I wasn't a useless nothing after all.

00:50:21.160 Maybe I did have something more to give.

00:50:24.800 Small niche following, very loyal people that I'm very grateful for to this day.

00:50:29.480 Many of you listening right now are from.

00:50:32.100 I would never have been able to do any of this without you.

00:50:35.960 So thank you for rescuing me.

00:50:37.580 this is february 2020 and just a month later i was seeking a change in scenery to get away

00:50:45.280 from the stress and the chaos and the noise and try to continue figuring out who i was and what

00:50:51.280 i should be doing i was also adjusting and dealing with the separation i was i was not doing well

00:50:58.720 some of the fans and supporters that i mentioned had invited me to visit western canada where i'd

00:51:05.040 never really been outside of training exercises on a base in Alberta. So I went. I went to

00:51:09.920 Saskatchewan, and in a few days of being there, COVID happened, and we were stuck. So during

00:51:18.140 COVID, many people were locked inside, separated, isolated, but more than that, they were frightened.

00:51:24.480 They were intimidated, and they were deliberately manipulated via the media.

00:51:27.820 i'd seen this before this wasn't new to me recognizing threats and enemies is what my

00:51:35.840 brain is wired to do this was manipulation this was fear this was not leadership this is not

00:51:42.380 guidance this is not helpful assistance this is deception this is hostile

00:51:47.120 of course the stress of the covid years rapidly divided the country in ways that we

00:51:52.900 have not yet healed from and likely will not for a generation the damage done during those years

00:51:58.360 was profound comprehensive and evil families were torn apart mothers and fathers were pitted against

00:52:04.540 their children their children against their parents brothers against sisters co-workers

00:52:08.500 marriages ruined businesses destroyed the mental health fell through the floor suicide drug abuse

00:52:13.600 alcoholism but because of the controversy and the obvious lies manipulation and suppression

00:52:21.880 of legitimate information and people who were previously experts, just like 9-11, just like JFK,

00:52:28.300 just like so many other points in history where something significant had happened and all of a

00:52:32.200 sudden there was only one version of events and everyone who doesn't fall in line is some kind

00:52:37.400 of criminal, at least socially. It even got to the point where the prime minister suggested that

00:52:42.460 we should all be locked up in camps and re-educated, segregated from society,

00:52:46.980 that we were taking up space and shouldn't be riding on trains or planes next to vaccinated 1.00

00:52:53.700 people we were science deniers well that's that's a funny thing to say the funny thing to say for 0.90

00:53:00.860 a bunch of people who insist that boys are girls and girls are boys

00:53:03.880 and we don't need physical evidence to prove things like murder or genocide and we have to

00:53:08.560 pay more in taxes to make the sky cool down it created an environment of anxious isolation a

00:53:16.780 lot of people were online looking for social connection, for information. It blew up the

00:53:22.940 so-called conspiracy world of which I was already very well versed in. I had a long time, at over

00:53:28.320 a decade or more, to acclimatize myself to certain realities and certain truths about the world that

00:53:33.220 many people are now just finding out about and have gone mainstream. I had a long time to sit

00:53:38.620 with this, to pick it apart and digest it at my own pace. It funneled a lot more people into this

00:53:45.120 direction looking for answers looking for someone to confirm that they weren't insane

00:53:49.680 in that spring Gabriel Wartman a suspected RCMP asset and informant went on his spiteful mutant

00:53:57.940 rampage in Nova Scotia just down the road from where I grew up in Colchester County

00:54:01.980 I made another video and based upon my expert opinion on hunting armed and hostile men the

00:54:10.820 rcmp incomprehensibly did nearly everything wrong everything wrong that video was viewed

00:54:19.200 over half a million times quickly in a day and i earned the distinction the honor of being placed

00:54:23.940 on a watch list by the rcmp and a government person of interest i later discovered through

00:54:29.600 court proceedings i'd never committed a crime i had no criminal record then and i still do not

00:54:36.820 to this day, despite enthusiastic attempts from Ottawa. I'm not a criminal, but they treated me

00:54:43.440 like one. And I was in for another education. I was still naive about this place. I thought,

00:54:49.180 I'm not doing anything illegal, so I'll be fine. There's nothing they can do to me. They can't just

00:54:53.280 arrest me and make things up. They wouldn't do that. Well, I learned the hard way. I was effective

00:55:00.640 at criticizing the police and their pathetic, amateurish, buffoon-like response, which was 0.99

00:55:05.860 really just cover for their own criminal behavior. I was effective at criticizing the government and 0.98

00:55:10.460 our so-called leaders. It wasn't about policy necessarily, left-wing or right-wing, or the

00:55:16.300 typical kinds of surface-level cotton candy, moral relativity, gray area BS that people prefer to

00:55:24.360 engage in. It was on the grounds of morality, right and wrong, wicked or righteous. I had been

00:55:31.160 observing the naked hypocrisy and the doublespeak of politicians my whole life. I had the extreme 0.89

00:55:37.000 privilege to know real leadership in the darkest places where it can't be faked, and these people

00:55:42.500 were complete imposters and frauds, and I'm not a perfect guy. I'm far from it. I've made a lot

00:55:49.440 of mistakes, but I do know the difference between right and wrong. I know that very well, and so do

00:55:55.120 they. They just pretend. They lie. They lie so much, they even lie to themselves, and they say,

00:55:59.840 that's just how it is you got to play the game it's how the world works i don't accept their math

00:56:05.500 so i fight i fight them there on on that ground where all the money the political station the

00:56:11.500 influence the scripted focus group tested fake questions and great hair and perfect teeth 1.00

00:56:16.340 cannot make up the deficit of being a rotten lying hypocritical agent of corruption and death 0.98

00:56:22.880 a big inspiration to the modern radical left is to always accuse your opponent of what you yourself 0.98

00:56:31.700 are guilty of the lady doth protest too much methinks they wrote dozens of hit pieces about

00:56:39.660 me i can't even name them all cbc so many times ctv global international media reuters american 0.99

00:56:46.260 media british media sky news daily mail the latest biggest piece of shit in canada ever 1.00

00:56:52.540 look at this guy look how terrible he is isn't he terrible nazi nazi nazi nazi you say well it's an 1.00

00:57:01.220 interesting choice of paint for the brush because growing up we were bombarded with media video 0.97

00:57:05.980 games movies school trips documentaries even mandatory state education on how the nazis were

00:57:11.920 the most evil manifestation of humanity ever dreamt up by anyone's worst nightmare much of 0.98

00:57:17.640 this media and educational entertainment is based around killing nazis killing baby hitler killing 0.98

00:57:23.600 adult hitler kill this kill that there's always two sides to a story unless they're nazis and 0.91

00:57:29.200 everyone deserves their day in court unless they're nazis open debate with human compassion 0.98

00:57:34.460 and understanding is always preferable to violence unless they're nazis nazi is the n-word for white 0.55

00:57:41.080 people it's the modern day heretic label that green lights you to be dealt with in the harshest 0.97

00:57:46.000 possible terms because hey you're a nazi so when you see the media calling someone a nazi deserved

00:57:51.920 or not it's nothing new in the human experience it's the mob calling for your head and i more 0.57

00:57:59.640 importantly my family had to endure seeing and listening to hearing all of this reading all of

00:58:04.400 the disgusting horrible things people would say based on a headline about something they don't

00:58:08.460 understand or know anything about death threats crazy people showing up at our house threats to

00:58:14.560 my family, even doxing my children.

00:58:18.000 This is how tolerant and loving

00:58:19.720 the Canadian left treats a war veteran.

00:58:23.300 I didn't run anyone down with my car.

00:58:25.120 I'm not David Zegarack.

00:58:25.980 I didn't shoot anyone.

00:58:27.240 I didn't burn anything.

00:58:28.060 I didn't break any windows. 1.00

00:58:28.980 I didn't even backhand a bitch. 1.00

00:58:31.540 I talked. 1.00

00:58:33.720 This is what I deserve

00:58:34.960 for having opinions that they don't like.

00:58:38.900 This is the freedom of expression,

00:58:40.460 freedom of association.

00:58:42.320 This is Canada.

00:58:44.560 And in the winter of 2022, things came to a boil with the Ottawa convoy.

00:58:50.320 I was popular on some social media circles and very much against everything Ottawa was doing.

00:58:55.780 I was grouped in with the so-called convoy leadership.

00:58:58.400 I had no leadership role.

00:59:00.260 I didn't tell anyone what to do.

00:59:02.240 I didn't organize anything.

00:59:03.360 I just went.

00:59:04.800 I went to observe and see history unfold in the country that I care very deeply about.

00:59:09.900 And before I went, I was raided by the police.

00:59:12.060 on completely invented nonsense charges,

00:59:15.680 but I'd made the mistake of having registered firearms.

00:59:18.820 You see, it gives the state an excellent excuse to say,

00:59:21.100 look, oh, he's dangerous.

00:59:23.460 He's unhinged. 0.82

00:59:24.660 He's drinking a beer. 0.69

00:59:25.980 He's over here yelling about politicians.

00:59:27.800 He's a war veteran, you know.

00:59:29.040 He's probably dangerous. 1.00

00:59:31.420 Once again, my sacrifices and commitment to Canada

00:59:34.780 was used against me.

00:59:36.940 And they even weaponized the stigma of veterans and mental illness.

00:59:40.480 You, how dare you?

00:59:42.060 they even compared me to gabriel wartman they have no shame none

00:59:48.380 they took all of my legally acquired legally stored and handled firearms they lied and

00:59:54.560 charged me with a pile of gun charges to try and intimidate me to try and bury me to try and

00:59:58.880 ruin my reputation smear me make me look like some sort of reprobate in a childish revenge attempt

01:00:06.440 for my embarrassing them.

01:00:08.660 The RCMP deputy commissioner

01:00:09.920 took a personal interest in my case

01:00:11.840 and later demanded explanations

01:00:13.080 from her employees

01:00:14.140 as to why I wasn't in jail forever.

01:00:16.520 I have that email also.

01:00:18.660 I went to the convoy anyway

01:00:20.060 with all of these charges over my head

01:00:21.760 and more were coming.

01:00:23.500 The CBC's The National

01:00:24.440 tried to sucker me in for a hit piece.

01:00:26.380 I wouldn't do it. 0.99

01:00:27.720 I'm not an idiot 0.77

01:00:28.480 and I'd learn my lesson 0.74

01:00:29.480 about talking to the media.

01:00:32.240 I was under significant,

01:00:33.700 sustained police scrutiny

01:00:34.660 and surveillance for years.

01:00:36.440 I was followed. I was wiretapped, listened to. All of this came out in court documents. I would

01:00:42.500 later be arrested and charged dozens of times. I had 23 charges in total in five cases across

01:00:47.640 three provinces simultaneously before they were done with me. They sent a team of RCMP officers

01:00:54.660 in an RCMP plane across the country from Saskatchewan to pick me up and bring me there

01:01:00.800 on a national warrant for the grand defense of a 266 common assault charge,

01:01:06.840 which would be if I had spit on your shoe or poked you in the chest.

01:01:10.700 That's common assault, technically.

01:01:15.840 And this was even more than I had actually done, which was nothing.

01:01:20.280 I was denied bail.

01:01:22.380 On the day of my bail hearing, actually, there was a woman who broke a bottle

01:01:25.780 in a nightclub downtown and stabbed another woman in the neck, killed her,

01:01:29.380 in Saskatoon. She was released on bail. I wasn't. I was too dangerous.

01:01:35.660 And of course, the media, while I was in jail, jumped the pumping the usual diet,

01:01:41.800 character assassination into the televisions and the newspapers, the media inside the jail.

01:01:48.100 There's not a whole lot to do in there. And it was all sourced from anti-hate, sourcing Antifa,

01:01:57.580 sourcing actual terrorists about how much of a white supremacist and apparently a rapist i am now

01:02:03.580 so unsurprisingly i had to fend off two murder attempts while i was in jail and not because i'm

01:02:10.720 any sort of john wick character it was just luck timing and luck and maybe those guardian angels

01:02:17.420 again i was even forced to testify at the public order emergency commission i was forced to even

01:02:23.920 though I'm facing numerous criminal trials and this could be used against me to taint a jury, 0.97

01:02:28.020 they said, to hell with you, Mackenzie, and your rights. We don't care. We're waiving them. We're 0.98

01:02:32.780 waiving your rights and propelling you to testify, which I was happy to let them believe I was upset

01:02:37.940 about because I wanted to testify. I'd been looking forward to it and talking about it on my podcast

01:02:42.380 before I was arrested. I wanted to. I knew what they were going to say. I knew what they were

01:02:47.380 going to try and do. And I knew I was going to be able to make them look very stupid. And thanks 1.00

01:02:53.300 to my lawyers and the help of my friends, I did.

01:02:55.740 They were humiliated.

01:02:57.660 In all the days leading up to this appearance,

01:02:59.300 I saw it in the papers, scrolling along the ticker

01:03:01.340 on the bottom of CTV News.

01:03:02.440 Today's the day, Friday.

01:03:05.160 Mackenzie takes the stand, and now we're really,

01:03:07.580 really going to get him now.

01:03:08.760 The Twitter goblins were ecstatic.

01:03:10.360 Oh, we're really going to get him now.

01:03:12.900 Now you're going to see.

01:03:15.360 After all it was said and done, it was never mentioned again

01:03:17.620 by the state, by the media, or by the communists ever again.

01:03:20.960 Never again.

01:03:23.300 Victory sounds like silence when the lying mouths of your enemies have been slammed shut. 1.00

01:03:31.180 I sat there in a box in Saskatchewan, halfway across the country from my family, away from my children and my loved ones, surrounded by career criminals and scum people who wanted to kill me. 0.95

01:03:41.800 Being forced to testify, one wrong move, one wrong word, if I lose my temper, if I get frustrated, any misstep would be used against me to make my situation much worse. 0.92

01:03:50.820 it took big boy discipline and mental fortitude to weather that fortunately this was not my first

01:03:58.540 rodeo and i handled it and i'm very grateful to the help that i had while i was in there

01:04:02.980 from my lawyers my friends who helped me i was eventually released i was eventually did get

01:04:08.360 bail after an appeal and i was fortunate to have an excellent lawyer my friends were able to

01:04:13.460 fundraise some money and i was able to get back to work podcasting and for almost two years

01:04:17.480 i worked for free and burned through all of my savings to pay off my legal fees which

01:04:22.720 amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars and what was the result of this sloppy ill-advised

01:04:28.940 amateurish intimidation and character assassination campaign of a middle-class veteran we'll just bury

01:04:35.360 him all his charges he'll be forced to accept something get some conviction to avoid serious

01:04:41.300 jail time and that'll be the end of them what's he gonna do get some big crim big shot criminal

01:04:46.440 defense lawyer from toronto and come up with a fortune to pay him uh well yeah that's exactly

01:04:51.240 that's exactly what i'll do that's exactly what i did i refused to lay down i fought them and i won

01:04:56.880 and this country is so demoralized and so beaten down that many people refuse to even believe that

01:05:01.660 it's possible that the little guy a regular man can win must be some sort of fed fly up

01:05:08.700 must be some sort of deal made none of these people none of these people came to court

01:05:13.440 none of these people watched the proceedings

01:05:16.560 they didn't ask for the transcripts

01:05:18.860 they just want to criticize from the safety and comfort 1.00

01:05:20.660 of soft fat asses 0.99

01:05:22.400 but anyone's free to do so, it's all public record 0.99

01:05:24.440 I'm not hiding, I've never been hiding

01:05:26.900 and this is exactly why I've been successful

01:05:28.880 all I have is my word and my honor

01:05:30.980 to fight with so I had to do that

01:05:32.660 and hold on tight and never compromise

01:05:34.820 or I'll have nothing

01:05:35.940 the police were hiding

01:05:38.320 the government was hiding

01:05:40.000 they didn't want to disclose their relationships with pain informants

01:05:42.900 and people that they were paying to try and entrap me

01:05:45.620 and have my life destroyed.

01:05:47.160 When they refused to disclose these arrangements

01:05:49.200 and the nature of their relationship with the witnesses they had,

01:05:54.060 they just dropped many of my charges and cases outright. 0.98

01:05:58.120 The others were so weak and so thin and so ridiculous

01:06:00.640 that when my defense team had compiled our arguments and evidence, 0.98

01:06:03.580 the prosecutors just threw up their hands and surrendered.

01:06:07.320 I was so confident that we were going to win

01:06:09.560 that I started planning a national live show tour

01:06:13.140 for my fans and supporters because they deserved it.

01:06:17.000 I always wanted to.

01:06:18.100 It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

01:06:20.120 How many people get to do something like this?

01:06:23.220 To get to be in this kind of position

01:06:24.860 where thousands and thousands of people

01:06:26.360 across the country are in your corner

01:06:27.740 supporting you, rooting for you,

01:06:30.360 helping you fight this crusade

01:06:31.880 to fight against the state,

01:06:35.140 but also help you fight the internal war

01:06:38.020 for your soul and for your mind

01:06:40.540 and help you endure the abuse.

01:06:43.860 Abuse not just from the lawfare waged against me,

01:06:47.200 not just from the media,

01:06:49.400 but the government, the police, 1.00

01:06:51.340 the sewer-dwelling elements of the public

01:06:54.140 and the lingering damage from my experience in the military.

01:06:57.380 I owed these people.

01:06:59.320 You guys kept me alive.

01:07:03.980 I decided I'll fight for them

01:07:07.480 as they fight for me.

01:07:09.720 We did a live tour across the country

01:07:11.280 with dozens of stops,

01:07:12.320 sold hundreds of tickets at each stop.

01:07:13.780 It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

01:07:16.260 And it was through that process

01:07:17.620 that I learned that

01:07:18.760 my fight had become yours

01:07:23.360 and that yours had become mine.

01:07:27.700 I remembered something that I already knew

01:07:29.380 that had been lying dormant, sleeping.

01:07:31.240 I remembered the soldiers,

01:07:33.840 the guys that I'd grown up to love,

01:07:36.300 like family, like brothers,

01:07:37.480 That. That's Canada. Not the geography. It's not the terrain. It's not the cities. It's not the streets. It's not the trees. You can take all of us. We can all leave. You can replace everyone here with foreigners, as they've been doing.

01:07:56.240 And is it still Canada? No. Because Canada isn't the physical things that we build and create. 1.00

01:08:04.860 The artwork, the buildings, the roads, the infrastructure, it's all just stuff.

01:08:10.140 It's the people. The people are Canada. You, me, our friends, our family, our loved ones. It's us.

01:08:19.700 So I doubled down and I really gave nationalism a serious sober thought.

01:08:23.240 is it for everyone is it nice and cute and cuddly chocolate cakes and high fives ponies

01:08:30.520 and rainbows for everybody all the time of course it isn't neither is life

01:08:35.200 we are being attacked exclusively for one reason that we are who we are our ethnicity

01:08:45.140 our racial composition in every country canada is no exception our demographics have been changing

01:08:52.280 faster than anyone's outside of a war. You used to have to be conquered by Genghis Khan

01:08:56.380 to have the demographics of your country change as quickly as Canada's have been. 0.81

01:09:01.220 The United States, England, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Australia,

01:09:05.840 Italy, Belgium, New Zealand, all with their different histories, languages, religions,

01:09:10.460 cultures, gripes, rivals, all at once, all at the same time, decided to all agree. 0.59

01:09:17.820 censoring speech criminalizing dissent banning private firearm ownership mandatory holocaust

01:09:22.740 education white privilege white guilt open borders mass immigration to the point of dissolving 0.59

01:09:27.100 the host population the pillars holding our world together into a hated minority in their own country 0.99

01:09:33.560 if we could only get this many governments to agree on prosecuting the epstein mafia 0.99

01:09:39.060 they seem so reasonable and benevolent otherwise we've all seen it this was just a vile

01:09:47.560 racist conspiracy theory just 10 years ago even five years ago now it's not a conspiracy theory

01:09:55.080 it's happening and if you don't like it well you're a terrorist and you're guilty of hate

01:09:59.960 and you should probably go to jail once again there's no discussion there's no debate there's

01:10:05.140 no understanding there's no human compassion or good faith attempt to understand the other side

01:10:09.020 of the conversation just do what we say or we'll hurt you this is the baseline on which there

01:10:17.360 that we're being attacked and why the people of canada are the country and that's what's being

01:10:23.340 attacked the people of our nation here in canada and those like us around the world those people

01:10:28.860 in history who have always fought most for individual liberty and sovereignty of the

01:10:34.140 individual for property rights for free speech for justice and the truth the people who have

01:10:39.280 always shown the most empathy and strongest collective desire to help others to go out of

01:10:46.120 their way out of convenience and into danger to do so. The Europeans, you see, we're in the way 0.85

01:10:54.220 because we're white. Four blind men touch four different parts of an elephant. One feels the 0.99

01:11:01.640 rough skin on the leg, another a tail, another the tusk, another the trunk. They're all touching

01:11:06.880 the same thing, but describing a very different experience. All the conspiracy talk out there

01:11:11.880 touches all of this in one way or another. The New World Order, the globalists, they're all

01:11:18.840 pseudonyms, catch-alls. I like to use my own. I call it the claw. The claw, fear the claw.

01:11:25.820 The truth is that there is a cabal. It's large, sophisticated, it's ancient, and operates on a

01:11:31.440 religious cult-like programming. There are different moving parts. There are different

01:11:36.200 peoples and organizations and groups involved. Many of them are Jews, but not all of them.

01:11:41.860 Some of them are white, but not all of them. 0.95

01:11:44.480 Some of them are Chinese, but not all of them. 1.00

01:11:47.200 All of them, however, do seem to orbit around centralizing control, enslaving the individual, 1.00

01:11:51.980 and crushing their closest competitor, the sovereign nation state of free people.

01:11:57.100 Every election, every decade, every turn of the wheel, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer,

01:12:01.520 and there is less freedom for us and more power for them.

01:12:06.000 The world is a business. 0.54

01:12:12.000 The white world, the Western world, our nations who champion these things, values we cherish, 0.96

01:12:17.280 our actions that define who we are. 0.51

01:12:20.940 Every one of these peoples has a Braveheart story, a Siege of Vienna story, the Gates

01:12:27.200 of Thermopylae, the Magna Carta Revolt, Vercingetorix, 1776, the Spanish Reconquista, on and on.

01:12:37.440 This is who we are.

01:12:39.040 this is what we build monuments to statues and stories to last generations so our children

01:12:47.280 and our great-grandchildren will see the evidence and know the truth of how much we loved each other

01:12:53.920 and how much how far we were willing to go

01:12:57.380 how much we love them

01:13:01.000 how far we were willing to go to fight for what's right

01:13:05.580 to lead them from beyond time by our sacrifices and our examples and show them what they themselves

01:13:14.700 as our kin will always be capable of the values of democratic principles from ancient greece and

01:13:22.240 the roman republic these are in the way of a global corporate state that answers to no one

01:13:28.520 and has no god it means to enslave everyone and if they succeed it should plunge the entire world

01:13:35.100 into an era of darkness and misery never before endured in history we are in the way of that

01:13:43.600 the free individual the sovereign nation state a strong prosperous healthy middle class who

01:13:52.600 doesn't need a big brother government to take care of it like a helpless baby feed it and wipe its

01:13:57.940 bum they can take care of themselves they can make their own decisions they can govern their

01:14:02.740 own destiny, and they can decide for themselves how they want to live. This does not complement

01:14:07.640 the agenda of the claw, the vision that these anti-human cultist, psychopathic pedophiles 0.98

01:14:13.920 have for the future of humanity. The nation state, the European nation state, must be eroded or 0.85

01:14:21.280 destroyed to such a degree that it cannot mount any meaningful resistance. And let's face it,

01:14:26.220 there's no resistance coming to any of this from africa or from south asia from china

01:14:32.820 from south or central america who alone possesses the resources the means the character

01:14:39.080 the romantic semi-delusional unhinged will to try the same people who will take their family

01:14:48.660 on a wooden boat pushed by wind on bed sheets across the treachery of the atlantic ocean because

01:14:54.540 maybe maybe there's an opportunity the same who build exploding rockets and launch our sons and

01:15:02.700 daughters into the sky for curiosity and for science the people who could fight and have any

01:15:10.940 chance of defeating this monster are the european people of the world this is why we are being 1.00

01:15:15.380 attacked this is why they're working around the clock to destroy you your home and your future 1.00

01:15:23.540 to destroy the people themselves.

01:15:25.920 The birth rates, the marriage rates,

01:15:27.400 the life expectancy, health, sanity.

01:15:30.940 Every vector and variable,

01:15:33.080 every way you can imagine

01:15:34.500 that an evil force would try to hurt you

01:15:36.360 and degrade you

01:15:37.100 and dim the light of your life

01:15:38.820 is being pursued.

01:15:40.080 They have monetized vice and death itself.

01:15:44.900 The children are attacked.

01:15:46.260 The women are attacked.

01:15:47.760 Families are attacked.

01:15:49.020 The men are attacked.

01:15:51.080 Canada now even has a state-sponsored

01:15:52.980 death program medical assistance and dying another conspiracy theory 10 years ago now not only is it 0.97

01:16:00.140 happening it's a good thing and if you oppose it well you're crazy of course you're crazy if you

01:16:06.400 think it's bad that we'll soon have liquidated over 100,000 of our own citizens 100,000 60,000

01:16:15.200 were killed in the second world war 60,000 the first world war we've almost doubled that number 0.63

01:16:19.800 with people who would rather die than go on living here.

01:16:25.560 California, a similarly sized population,

01:16:27.860 legalized a similar program at the same time

01:16:29.620 and has administered this to just 8,000 people.

01:16:32.900 I can't imagine, I would never have imagined

01:16:35.080 as a young child or young man

01:16:36.360 that this would be the Canada of the future.

01:16:39.960 The nation is a large family.

01:16:45.080 A family grown large, that's what it means.

01:16:46.980 We are quite literally, genetically related to each other more than we will ever be of someone from a different place.

01:16:55.200 And why are we Canadian?

01:16:57.740 Why aren't we something else?

01:17:00.060 Why aren't we English or French or American?

01:17:04.180 What is a Canadian?

01:17:06.620 Politicians can't tell you.

01:17:08.880 We have our own ethnogenesis.

01:17:12.080 Our own unique origin story that was fought for.

01:17:15.140 we fought multiple wars

01:17:18.180 there was not an easy day

01:17:19.840 to make this place happen

01:17:21.200 our ancestors again had to sail

01:17:24.040 the Atlantic Ocean

01:17:24.980 unforgiving, dangerous

01:17:26.880 claimed many lives

01:17:29.440 just for daring, just to sail it

01:17:31.780 family members succumbed to famine

01:17:36.280 disease, had to be thrown overboard

01:17:38.040 into the ocean

01:17:38.780 dysentery, scurvy

01:17:40.660 to land here with nothing

01:17:43.280 nothing but tools and their will to survive and carve this out this massive land and who are they

01:17:52.060 english french scottish why didn't we retain that identity all these countries and peoples

01:17:59.200 already existed our relatives came to this new continent and merged the english with the french

01:18:05.420 and the scottish and the irish do you know the history of these people the history that they

01:18:12.420 have with each other. That is the origin point and the birth of the Canadian. When they say

01:18:19.900 multiculturalism, this is what multiculturalism means. This is what it meant then and what it

01:18:24.660 is supposed to mean now. Those multiple different cultures living together in one place, forging a

01:18:31.240 new destiny and a new identity together. This was a brand new experiment that hadn't been attempted

01:18:36.900 since the Vikings occupied the British Isles or the Romans in Europe. It was never intended to

01:18:42.080 extend to the entire world? If anyone and everyone can and is Canadian, then no one is. 1.00

01:18:49.900 And a Canadian is nothing more than a word on a piece of paper.

01:18:57.200 Those people, our ancestors, took what made all of them great individually and combined it

01:19:02.100 together, leaving the old world and the old grievances behind. Together, they withstood

01:19:08.280 american pressure and built a nation from nothing that would go on to influence world history

01:19:14.240 john a mcdonald and others dared to imagine it and they created this place a special place for

01:19:22.180 them for you for us we we are their descendants and we are their living breathing heirs

01:19:31.820 we are the sons of our fathers and right now as i'm speaking this do this

01:19:37.040 do this right now as you listen take your hand and put it on your heart close your eyes

01:19:40.900 and just feel it beating their hearts beat inside your chest right now when you were created your

01:19:47.420 mother was alive your father was alive their hearts were beating and then in a flash out of

01:19:53.560 their blood created yours and so did yours begin to beat in time with theirs going back thousands

01:20:01.000 of years to the beginning of time is one unbroken chain of heartbeats yours and mine goes all the

01:20:08.580 way back mine goes all the way back to the highlands of scotland to a place called dingwall

01:20:12.560 further than that into lost history irish scottish french english individually on their own

01:20:18.440 they're all quite something but joined together and later complemented by immigrants from across

01:20:22.420 northern and then later southern europe have created some of the greatest people who have

01:20:27.340 ever lived. We punched well above our weight. In the First World War, we had only 8 million

01:20:32.800 citizens, 8 million Canadians, and we produced enormous victories and carried a burden far

01:20:38.560 larger and far greater than the size of our back and shoulders should have been able to carry.

01:20:42.900 In the wars in Europe, we became a military power. We had a large, agile surface fleet,

01:20:49.100 aircraft carriers, state-of-the-art interceptors, an army that accomplished things that no one

01:20:53.760 could believe. We earned the right through blood, brutally hard work and sacrifice, and demonstrated

01:21:00.100 to the world that we were every bit as tough, as inventive, and relentless, and as durable as

01:21:05.620 anyone else's best on earth. And we have earned the right to be our own people and walk our destiny

01:21:12.000 how we see fit. That's what a Canadian is. That's where and that's how the country was made.

01:21:18.900 everything that came after exists on top that foundation without that foundation there is no

01:21:25.360 canada so i ask you this do you like math i've never been very good at it but addition and

01:21:31.300 subtraction is pretty basic even for a barely literate product such as myself of the nova

01:21:35.900 scotia public school system so i can do that if you take canada right now and you take away 0.99

01:21:43.060 all of the Indians 0.63

01:21:45.260 Indians from India

01:21:47.200 not the First Nations 0.86

01:21:48.080 every Indian

01:21:49.620 that's ever been here

01:21:53.000 is it still Canada? 1.00

01:21:57.760 If you take away all of the Africans 1.00

01:21:59.460 is it still Canada? 1.00

01:22:03.440 If you take away all of the Jews 0.96

01:22:05.780 is it still Canada? 1.00

01:22:07.620 If you take away all the Muslims 0.99

01:22:08.860 is it still Canada? 1.00

01:22:10.780 All the Chinese? 1.00

01:22:13.060 of course it is 1.00

01:22:16.040 if you take all of us away 0.99

01:22:19.020 all of the dirty, privileged, colonizer, genocidal 0.98

01:22:22.260 greedy, never had a hard day in their lives 1.00

01:22:24.540 white people 0.98

01:22:25.640 is it still Canada? 0.99

01:22:29.940 no

01:22:30.420 of course not

01:22:32.780 it's something else entirely

01:22:35.380 and that foundation, those pillars

01:22:36.980 you, me, our families, the Canadian ethnicity

01:22:39.760 and identity is what is being attacked

01:22:41.840 torn down, canceled, replaced, like the anthem, like the names of our streets and our schools,

01:22:50.900 our monuments, like our flag, as is the American identity. It's being attacked in America,

01:23:00.280 the British in Britain, the Irish in Ireland, the French in France, the Germans in Germany,

01:23:03.660 the Australians in Australia. This pattern is obvious, and once you see it, you can't unsee it. 0.58

01:23:09.440 And rather than convince you it's not true, provide some kind of argument with documentation or evidence for why you're just simply mistaken, their solution is to jail you, jail me, ruin your life, or worse, to prove that you're wrong.

01:23:26.860 The methodology is censorship and suppression, banning, deplatforming, debanking.

01:23:32.060 I've been debanked.

01:23:34.600 They'll take your passport, they won't let me travel.

01:23:36.720 And if that's not enough, well, now they're exploring ways to criminalize it.

01:23:41.740 You'll just be a criminal.

01:23:43.360 See, this isn't convincing me that I'm wrong or that you're wrong or that we're wrong.

01:23:48.340 It's proving to everyone that we're right to fight back.

01:23:52.500 The heroes in our history, those stories I mentioned,

01:23:56.160 weren't the ones cutting out tongues, locking people up for their thoughts.

01:24:01.700 That's not who children look up to.

01:24:03.200 Like it or not, life is a team sport

01:24:07.160 We were raised on radical individualism

01:24:10.760 When I was a kid, they would say

01:24:12.640 What do you want to be when you grow up?

01:24:15.060 What do you want to do? Who are you going to marry? Where are you going to live?

01:24:17.660 What kind of car are you going to drive?

01:24:20.020 You, you, you

01:24:20.800 There's never a lot of talk of we or us

01:24:24.060 The idea that we are a family, that we are a people

01:24:27.520 Has been forgotten, but it is not lost

01:24:29.460 It can be found again 0.61

01:24:32.760 and the traitors and worms 0.99

01:24:34.580 occupying positions of authority 0.97

01:24:36.040 insist that none of that is true.

01:24:39.040 Their existence depends upon it.

01:24:42.020 They've chosen the other side.

01:24:44.160 They have a vested interest

01:24:45.880 in this new global corporate state

01:24:49.600 of which they are a willing employee.

01:24:52.980 That's who they serve.

01:24:54.660 There's nothing conservative

01:24:55.560 about the conservatives.

01:24:56.620 There's nothing liberal

01:24:57.540 about the liberals.

01:24:58.940 This is all just big business

01:25:00.040 with big business branding.

01:25:02.220 Politicians are in business for themselves.

01:25:05.140 And we can't compete with large organizations and institutions on an individual basis.

01:25:10.080 They have our money.

01:25:11.280 They have control of our institutions, our police, our laws, our military, our educators.

01:25:15.600 As individuals, we can't compete with this, which is why this is what everyone tries to do since we were raised as individuals to think that way.

01:25:26.980 But what happened at the convoy?

01:25:29.660 Did it really fail?

01:25:31.240 or did it move the needle

01:25:33.600 it showed the world

01:25:36.540 again

01:25:37.980 there was Canada leading the righteous way

01:25:42.080 the COVID nightmare happened all over the world

01:25:45.200 and who made it their business

01:25:46.460 who did that

01:25:47.240 it wasn't the United States

01:25:49.780 it wasn't Britain

01:25:50.440 it was Canada

01:25:51.520 and for three weeks in February

01:25:55.000 the entire world

01:25:56.660 wasn't watching America

01:25:58.340 they watched us 0.91

01:25:59.960 and these cowards rather than engage with the population they feel as though they've done

01:26:07.820 such a grand job in leading they believe they deserve pay raises every year rather than say 0.93

01:26:14.480 hey what's the problem guys clearly things are not going well seems as though you've had some

01:26:19.240 issues well let's talk about it produce some representatives or some delegation that we can

01:26:23.880 deal with and we'll send some of ours we'll sit down and figure out how we can move forward as a

01:26:29.120 country because this kind of family infighting is unacceptable and obviously something has gone

01:26:33.760 terribly wrong that's not what they did they called the police they called the military 0.88

01:26:39.200 to come and kick people in the face boot them trample them with horses hit them with guns 0.64

01:26:44.720 jail them take their bank accounts away threaten them intimidate them use the war measures act 0.97

01:26:50.720 suspend civil liberties to violently put down a peaceful demonstration in the likes of which

01:26:55.840 the Russians have never done it's a small miracle no one was killed and anything on sideways had

01:27:01.560 any one of these so-called cops open fire which very clearly some of them wanted to do in some

01:27:06.620 instances we would just be half a step behind Tiananmen Square and who was at the convoy

01:27:12.980 were your were the precious politicians there who was it where were they who were their precious 0.73

01:27:19.300 celebrated wouldn't be Canada without them minorities at the convoy was there a massive

01:27:24.280 Muslim pro-Palestinian demonstration presence at the convoy defending Canada? No, they weren't 0.93

01:27:30.440 there. Were the Israelis and the Jews in all their greatest ally costumes defending our freedom and

01:27:38.140 our rights, our bodily autonomy, our charter, were they standing there with us for dignity? No, 0.64

01:27:44.760 they weren't there. There was a handful, a smattering here and there. And I thank those

01:27:49.740 people who did show up who did help us and did take a stand beside us it's appreciated but let's

01:27:56.460 not pretend 97 98 maybe to 99 of those crowds in ottawa and in windsor and in alberta in those

01:28:05.420 sympathetic demonstrations and protests in every city across the country and every overpass that

01:28:09.720 we drove through some of them had to be in the hundreds thousands and some of them they were

01:28:14.000 canadian they were white canadians and there was a feeling at that convoy that so many people wanted

01:28:18.520 to get back and experience again because they had never experienced it before in their life.

01:28:22.220 I had. I have before with the military, the army, the soldiers.

01:28:30.360 It's a sense of belonging and being at home. There's actually a Greek word for it. It's called

01:28:35.640 philia, P-H-I-L-I-A. It's a sense of belonging, togetherness, cohesion, camaraderie, and brotherly

01:28:45.580 unity along with your tribe, your people, your home, among your own people. You are at home

01:28:51.780 and it's a great feeling. You get a little bit of it when you see Sidney Crosby win the gold

01:28:58.580 medal at the Olympics. Everyone's in a good mood, feels good about Canada and about each other.

01:29:02.520 There's a little tiny bit there. The convoy had so much more because it was so much more serious

01:29:08.560 than a silly sporting event.

01:29:10.580 This was our lives,

01:29:11.860 our suffering,

01:29:13.480 and our future.

01:29:15.560 A lot of people wanted to party.

01:29:17.600 They were relieved.

01:29:19.440 It was a massive amount of stress

01:29:21.420 and anxiety being blown off

01:29:22.760 for people that had been cooped up,

01:29:24.260 threatened, abused,

01:29:25.140 and gaslit for over two years.

01:29:30.000 They want that feeling back.

01:29:31.680 So they wanted more convoys.

01:29:33.760 Another convoy!

01:29:34.920 how many frigging convoys did people try to propose and do they didn't really want a convoy

01:29:42.040 they wanted that feeling back and they didn't know where else to find it

01:29:46.280 they wanted to experience that again in a place and time like ours now where everything just feels

01:29:52.240 wrong everything's wrong everything's upside down all the wrong people are in jail all the people

01:30:00.340 who should be in jail are out of jail and they're rich and they're in charge nothing feels familiar

01:30:04.800 anymore. People just wanted to go home. Who can condemn them for that?

01:30:18.640 This is what we're offering you. This is what I'm selling you. This is what nationalism is.

01:30:24.820 It's not a political strategy. It's not just an ideology. It's more than that.

01:30:29.980 It is a spiritual commitment to your family, to your people, above all else, against everything and anyone else who would come after you.

01:30:40.940 Does it mean you're a supremacist?

01:30:43.180 Does it mean you hate anyone?

01:30:45.280 If you cheer for your own children in a sporting event, or the team your children play for, or for your father, or for your mother, brothers and sisters, cousins in some competitive situation, or contest with stakes, just to land a better job or have a better life.

01:30:59.980 supporting and encouraging and being there for the people you love

01:31:02.960 is the most natural and normal thing in the world.

01:31:05.040 Who opposes this but the devil himself?

01:31:10.040 Of course it doesn't mean you hate anyone

01:31:11.840 or you hate all the other children and all the other people

01:31:14.780 and all the other competitors.

01:31:16.020 You don't want to murder them.

01:31:17.640 You just want the side of your own, your own team,

01:31:20.660 your own people to do well, your own family.

01:31:24.860 This is beyond politics and it's beyond economics.

01:31:28.220 is not right-wing or left-wing, and that's why the enemy hates it so much.

01:31:32.540 More than any other condition, it cannot be manipulated from within. If you're not one of us,

01:31:37.640 you don't get to make decisions. You don't get to participate. You don't get to tell us what to do.

01:31:42.840 You don't get to tell us who we are or who you want us to be. We will decide that for ourselves

01:31:48.200 as a family, as a nation. This is natural law. This is the normal way of life. Wolves, sharks,

01:31:55.580 All sorts of animals have their own territory, their own exclusive space.

01:31:59.280 Sometimes they fight over it, but they have a home.

01:32:02.440 They have a place where they belong.

01:32:06.300 If we lose this one, if we lose our home, if we lose each other, there is nowhere to go.

01:32:14.560 Are we here to accommodate, pay for, and support the entire world?

01:32:19.400 They can always go home.

01:32:21.780 We can't.

01:32:23.720 This is our home.

01:32:25.580 and it's being taken out from under us and the only way to preserve it with dignity with our

01:32:29.780 heads held high in a way that our children and our grandchildren and history can be proud of

01:32:34.640 is together as a nation it's the one idea they fear the most a family unbroken unyielding

01:32:42.120 unapologetic unafraid to stand up and proudly say this is who i am for good or bad for better or

01:32:49.580 worse. My name is Canadian. And I like it. And I love it. Because it's mine. And that is the right

01:33:00.420 of any free people to love their own. I don't fault the Chinese for being pro-China. I don't

01:33:06.780 fault the Japanese for being pro-Japanese. I don't hate the Muslims for being pro-Islam.

01:33:10.880 Of course they are. Of course they should be. They should celebrate and be proud of themselves

01:33:15.280 like anyone should because it's healthy. It's normal. What we're being forced to do and taught

01:33:21.060 to do now rapidly more and more by law being implemented by foreigners and traitors is the 1.00

01:33:27.320 opposite of that. They would deny us what we must grant others by honor because they have no honor. 1.00

01:33:35.220 They demand that you denigrate yourself. You lower yourself. Grovel. Apologize. Be sorry that you

01:33:41.820 exist and then terminate yourself. Take drugs. Be drunk. Mindlessly consume products and 1.00

01:33:47.100 distractions. And when it all becomes too much for you, get a maid appointment. That's the vision 0.67

01:33:52.480 they have for you and your family. Well, I have a different one. We have 23 million people in this

01:33:58.860 country, 23 million Canadians. We fought the First World War with eight. Our ancestors settled the

01:34:04.900 country 100 years prior to that with much less. We have some of the brightest minds and most

01:34:09.800 capable people the world has ever seen. Did you know the Canadian invented the electron microscope?

01:34:14.940 I didn't. We were world leaders in aerospace, engineering, space technology. We pioneered

01:34:20.820 new combat techniques and methodologies. We have some of the best special forces operators on the

01:34:25.420 planet. We have some of the hardest working people in the hardest conditions in the world.

01:34:32.660 Canadians were renowned for their politeness. Yeah, our hospitality, our generosity, and our

01:34:39.680 toughness we were the good guys and the world trusted us if we came to help settle a dispute

01:34:46.060 people would listen because we were known to be intelligent and honest and fair the canadians

01:34:53.140 we haven't invaded anyone we don't bother anyone we have no imperial ambitions we mind our own 0.95

01:35:01.460 damn business and now the masses of the third world have come to our house to take advantage 0.69

01:35:09.020 of our generosity and goodwill. 1.00

01:35:11.260 Spitting in our face,

01:35:12.200 they mock us and manipulate us

01:35:13.720 and have the audacity

01:35:14.740 to try and shame us

01:35:16.320 and make us feel bad

01:35:17.240 for not bending over even harder

01:35:19.080 if we don't like it.

01:35:21.680 You're not a bad person

01:35:23.000 for wanting dignity

01:35:26.000 and to be treated with respect

01:35:27.800 in your own home.

01:35:28.660 Don't listen to these people.

01:35:31.340 Those people are your enemy.

01:35:33.980 They're either outwardly,

01:35:35.160 physically the enemy

01:35:35.980 or they've been brainwashed.

01:35:38.100 Maybe they're victims themselves.

01:35:39.280 They're self-loathing.

01:35:41.840 Hopefully with some luck, time,

01:35:44.280 maybe some of them can be salvaged.

01:35:46.360 Maybe they can be saved.

01:35:47.400 Maybe they'll realize the error of their ways, as I did.

01:35:51.240 I would have called myself a liberal once upon a time.

01:35:53.580 I didn't know any better. 1.00

01:35:54.480 I believed in a lot of the mainstream stupid opinions, 1.00

01:35:57.260 the things they just sell people. 1.00

01:35:59.060 Didn't question it.

01:35:59.880 Just downloaded it, put the icons on my desktop,

01:36:02.100 and moved on.

01:36:02.660 Didn't think about it.

01:36:04.660 I had to earn this.

01:36:05.720 people on our side

01:36:08.400 have to earn their beliefs

01:36:10.800 and their identity

01:36:12.340 it comes at a cost

01:36:13.280 you will be attacked

01:36:15.520 you will be targeted

01:36:17.000 your life will be made more difficult

01:36:19.040 theirs

01:36:21.620 well

01:36:22.100 they get rewarded for obedience

01:36:24.060 in assisting the global state

01:36:25.960 to step on moms and dads

01:36:27.600 they are willing slaves

01:36:30.680 we are not

01:36:31.480 spiritual warfare

01:36:34.420 This is about right and wrong 0.99

01:36:37.160 The truth and lies

01:36:39.680 Deception, wickedness

01:36:40.780 And the will of the righteous

01:36:41.920 That's what this is about

01:36:44.900 It's not about left and right

01:36:47.100 It's not about red tie, blue tie

01:36:48.680 It's not really about politics

01:36:51.900 Politics is just a symptom

01:36:53.840 Whatever spirit that animates you

01:36:57.520 Gives you purpose that you would follow

01:37:00.300 That you tune into

01:37:02.160 That influences you

01:37:03.240 That you obey

01:37:03.900 this is what you become it is the spirit of our enemies

01:37:08.840 and it's not a good one that animates them to do the things that they do and say the things that

01:37:15.500 they say to make the decisions that they do crime is out of control it's nearly impossible to afford

01:37:20.040 anywhere to live or to afford anything everyone's depressed everyone's sick and so many are dying

01:37:25.220 more people would rather die than live here obviously things are not going well

01:37:29.320 politics changes with the times and the seasons today's conservatives are yesterday's liberals

01:37:34.580 today's liberals are tomorrow's conservatives these are just brand labels like companies

01:37:39.880 they change over time they don't follow or adhere to any coherent consistent spirit beyond get

01:37:48.680 elected make money they present themselves as leaders but they are followers they are following

01:37:54.980 an influence and spirit from elsewhere. Politics is downstream of the truth, the true driving

01:38:00.700 engine and force of will downstream from the spirit that they feed and that they obey.

01:38:07.760 Judge the tree by the fruit that it produces. Our enemies are pro-death. They are pro-abortion.

01:38:15.040 They are pro-made, pro-war. They celebrate political violence like the murder of Charlie

01:38:20.200 kirk and they aren't shy about wanting more body positivity meant pro-obesity and celebrating

01:38:26.400 harmful dangerous health conditions and now many of those stunning and brave people are dead

01:38:31.160 they are pro-big government big pharma anti-freedom they like to stifle freedom of expression speech

01:38:37.980 thought creativity they want to censor tear down cancel erase they follow an anti-life force and

01:38:45.880 spirit. We are for peace, stability, and order. We want to build, to create, to maintain, and honor

01:38:53.860 what we have, who we are, and inspire ourselves and each other to reach higher. We're pro-health,

01:39:00.680 pro-strength, beauty, and natural law. We choose to go against the grain and pressure to conform

01:39:06.740 to the decay and self-destruction. We choose to obey a pro-life force and animating spirit.

01:39:12.740 at the core of their ideology that spirit is a cold hatred for life for you and anything that

01:39:20.960 decent people identify with i'm sure you've noticed they can hold numerous contradictory

01:39:25.220 opinions and positions at once they don't recognize or care because they don't actually

01:39:29.340 think or care for logical consistency they don't want to understand anything that they claim to

01:39:35.700 oppose. They are bitter, weak, spiteful people that find their meaning in pulling at the threads

01:39:43.200 of everything beautiful in life. Discipline. Discipline is the chief element in self-respect.

01:39:53.620 Self-respect is the chief element in courage. From braving the Atlantic and the harshness

01:39:58.700 of the frontier to standing up to the boots and the guns of Ottawa in February, resisting

01:40:04.020 multiple conquest attempts from a global power from vimy ridge to cap yong courage courage is

01:40:11.000 what canadians have always been known for we have never run from a challenge we have never lost a

01:40:17.200 war this fight and this war is the greatest any of us will ever know it is insidious and it is

01:40:23.060 quiet masterfully deployed by a cunning and ruthless enemy to fight a war for our own soul

01:40:29.100 and our identity we're not going to wait around for the government who clearly hates us to come

01:40:35.000 to our rescue we have to do it ourselves it's been done before and we can do it again

01:40:39.920 the great maple tree of our nation is a composition of each one of us every one of you

01:40:46.840 your fathers your mothers your grandparents everyone it isn't one person no one person

01:40:52.440 is an entire family made up of every branch every leaf every root each one of us has a

01:40:58.180 responsibility and a duty to the rest to fight against the demoralizing self-destructive spirit

01:41:06.980 that hunts us all of those brave heroes and some of my friends some of yours they believed in this

01:41:14.160 place they believed in us and if enough of us do this we'll all contribute to healing the tree the

01:41:21.120 maple tree little by little we will start bringing it back from the brink with dignity

01:41:26.540 self-respect choose health choose dignity choose to respect yourself strength righteous acts this

01:41:35.260 is a rebellion in a fallen world everyone matters and everyone counts it all adds up

01:41:43.120 and you're not alone keep going strength is a choice choose to be strong this doesn't mean

01:41:52.020 it won't hurt and it won't be difficult. It means that it will. But you do it anyway.

01:41:58.080 If you do this, I promise, your people will find you. The Spirit will find you.

01:42:04.980 You will not be alone. Make it your mission. Give a damn about yourself. If you don't love

01:42:10.620 yourself enough to give yourself the kind of advice and encouragement you would that someone

01:42:14.200 you love who will who should it has always and only ever been small thoughtful passionate determined

01:42:24.140 teams of people who move the wheels of history whether you get involved with us or not it doesn't

01:42:28.980 matter the spirit of this fight is here it's there for all of us for every one of you to draw upon

01:42:34.500 for every one of us anyone can choose right now today as you're hearing these words come out of

01:42:40.040 my mouth to participate. Every individual is the smallest cog, the smallest piece, the smallest

01:42:45.800 leaf on the tree, just like a cell in the body. We all contribute to the overall health of the

01:42:51.960 national spirit. If too many are weak, corrupt, broken, sick, the tree is sick. And our enemies 0.84

01:42:58.260 are a big problem, yes. But our first and our biggest challenge is inward. It's ourselves.

01:43:04.660 We have to master ourselves before we venture outward. And if we were good enough as we were,

01:43:09.080 we wouldn't be in this mess now would we we were complacent we were weak and lazy we were selfish

01:43:15.200 and valued our comfort and our convenience is too much the lack of discipline and meeting

01:43:20.820 has made us soft and susceptible to pressure and intimidation look at covid and what it cost us

01:43:26.860 because we were easily pushed around no more we must be better myself included tonight before

01:43:36.700 you go to bed, go to your mirror. Go look in it. Look into your own eyes and tell yourself

01:43:42.380 that that hero you've long waited for is here. It's you. It's you who will save you.

01:43:54.740 Police your own part of the maple tree. Aim harder. Try harder. Be selfish in a good way.

01:44:02.520 Make it your mission to be the best that you can be for yourself so that you live up to your potential and honor your ancestors who believed in you.

01:44:10.420 You can be stronger.

01:44:11.560 You can be a better example to motivate and uplift others.

01:44:15.160 This is how we move forward, not by fighting with each other on the Internet mindlessly about things that we can't stop.

01:44:21.640 Not yet.

01:44:23.240 This doesn't help or fix anything.

01:44:25.120 And are any of us really any better off from it?

01:44:27.980 You really want to help the country?

01:44:30.220 You want to fight the war?

01:44:31.340 you want to get bad guys

01:44:33.520 prove it

01:44:35.400 any one of us

01:44:37.940 can choose

01:44:39.560 to stand in this rebellion

01:44:41.680 against the strangulation of our world

01:44:43.740 choose your own side

01:44:45.460 your own family

01:44:46.520 with pride

01:44:47.660 without apology

01:44:49.320 fill the void of nihilism and meaninglessness

01:44:52.520 in this fake world of illusions and lies

01:44:55.340 choose something real

01:44:57.100 when we're dying

01:44:59.860 old

01:45:01.000 Do we lament all the video games we didn't play, the movies we didn't watch, the cars we didn't buy, the clothes we didn't wear? No!

01:45:10.980 Our memories and connections to and with each other are worth more than all of those.

01:45:20.520 So choose something that really matters.

01:45:23.240 The love of your own people.

01:45:25.600 The most valuable and precious resource of all. Choose that.

01:45:28.540 see yourself

01:45:31.440 as part of the whole

01:45:33.160 and take care of it

01:45:46.240 from the ground

01:45:46.920 look up

01:45:48.400 and smile

01:45:50.000 in the face of hatred and evil
