Rebel News Podcast - DAVID MENZIES ｜ World Economic Elites; COVID Influencers

00:00:00.000 Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen, and the rest of you, in which we look back at

00:00:05.060 some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favorite Rebels. I'm your host, David Menzies.

00:00:10.820 Well, the 2022 edition of the World Economic Forum is over and done with. We had a huge team

00:00:17.760 of Rebel news reporters covering this gathering, and one of those reporters, Louis Brackpool,

00:00:23.080 will join me to offer his thoughts on this elitist conference. Say, did you know that the

00:00:30.580 federal government used taxpayer dollars to pay influencers to convince citizens to comply with

00:00:37.100 the COVID lockdowns? Did you know that the government is being secretive about this scheme?

00:00:43.980 Well, Sheila Gunn-Reed has all the nitty-gritty details. And letters, we get your letters,

00:00:49.280 we get your letters every minute of every day. And I'll share some of your responses about our

00:00:54.940 story regarding Rob Stocky, a retired Ottawa police officer who recently found out that he had his

00:01:03.240 phone wiretapped by law enforcement. And why was that, you ask? Great question. No reason was given

00:01:11.000 for the wiretapping, but Rob suspects his so-called crime was him taking part in the Freedom Convoy

00:01:19.260 that descended upon Ottawa in late January. Unbelievable. Those are your Rebels. Now let's round them up.

00:01:36.640 G'day Rebels. I'm here with the entire team walking back to the car after what I would call a long

00:01:43.760 three days of chasing down elites at the World Economic Forum here in Davos.

00:01:51.240 Mate, Lewis, last three days, what have you learned?

00:01:54.300 Well, I think I've learned a massive positive, okay? And that's this year's narrative or theme

00:02:00.800 is all about regaining trust, which paints the picture that people don't trust them.

00:02:05.820 So I take that as a big positive. Beautiful. I can't say I disagree. I think I've seen that too.

00:02:13.080 Savs, come on in. Tell the people. Three long days. What have you taken away?

00:02:19.000 I think my biggest takeaway, Avi, is that we're essentially living in the globalist ideal world, right?

00:02:25.260 They're far away from the people. They are pushing all of this digital central banking

00:02:32.140 and metaverse on us, but are they taking part in that? Are they a part of that in their every single

00:02:37.040 day lives? On top of that, they have approved press here, which is why, again, go to wefreports.com

00:02:43.060 because we're some of the only journalists that are actually on the ground confronting these elites,

00:02:48.020 these globalists that are trying to push these bad ideologies on us, these bad policies on us.

00:02:52.940 So, you know, I've just really learned the importance of, one, independent media,

00:02:57.020 and two, that if the World Economic Forum had their way, this is what our world would look like.

00:03:01.900 They would be somewhere remote, far away from the people. We would be suffering from their bad

00:03:05.960 policy, and they would be sipping champagne on the streets.

00:03:10.860 I'm sorry, Savi, you're going to have to follow that one.

00:03:13.760 What have you learned in the last three days here? 0.87

00:03:17.060 Well, if I had to sum up the last three days, it would be hypocrisy, hypocrisy, and a bit more hypocrisy.

00:03:23.340 We've had lecturing us on climate change while flying in by private jets and having cars after cars

00:03:28.760 We've had wanting to implement digital ID and more surveillance while hiding behind their little sheltered area back there.

00:03:35.760 So, you know, the rich get private lives, but the poor don't.

00:03:38.760 There's guards here armed to the teeth, but they don't like gun control.

00:03:42.760 So they've really reflected the annual WF motto, which is rules for thee, but not for me.

00:03:47.760 Another thing is that there's almost no world leaders here, so they must know that we're on to them.

00:03:54.760 All right. Well said there, too.

00:03:57.760 Certainly, we've learned a lot here. Jeremy, what about you?

00:04:01.760 Yeah, I would like to follow up with Lewis said. The theme is working together to regain trust.

00:04:06.760 And what have they done to lose our trust? They they locked us in our house for two years.

00:04:11.760 They took away our jobs. They mandated dubious medical interventions.

00:04:14.760 And after speaking to them, I learned how ignorant they are of this fact of why trust was lost.

00:04:20.760 Not one time from speaking to all of these attendees that I spoke to did any of those things come up.

00:04:25.760 They're clueless why the trust was lost. They don't know. So the clueless of the elites is definitely on display here at the World Economic Forum.

00:04:35.760 Well, there you have it. And I guess what I learned most from being here is that the elites consider this a safe space for them.

00:04:44.760 And they are absolutely shocked when independent journalists hit them with the tough questions.

00:04:51.760 Well, folks, I think that three minute clip superbly sums up what occurred in Davos recently as the elites who comprise the World Economic Forum got together for their self-congratulatory party or so it would seem.

00:05:06.760 And one of the rebels who attended that WEF powwow, he joins me right now.

00:05:12.760 And that would be Lewis Brackpool. Lewis, thank you so much for coming on Rebel Roundup.

00:05:17.760 And tell me, Lewis, for starters, what is the World Economic Forum to begin with and what is its true agenda?

00:05:27.760 Cool. That is such a big question.

00:05:30.760 Give me the Reader's Digest version then.

00:05:34.760 Right. OK, so the World Economic Forum is a conglomerate of many, many people that come together each year or an annual summit.

00:05:46.760 And what it is, it has is a conglomerate of the most powerful people in the world.

00:05:51.760 OK, and what they do, they get together and they essentially get together and rearrange the world or have ideas, visions, plans to rearrange society.

00:06:04.760 And how that works for them is is getting together with the most powerful people and discussing ways in which they can reset areas.

00:06:20.760 So, for example, environmentalism is a big thing, the World Economic Forum, societal is a big thing, technology.

00:06:28.760 And they they get together all of these powerful people sitting many conferences in a place which is so remote that the normal or average person like me and yourself can't get to.

00:06:42.760 And they basically discuss how we should live.

00:06:47.760 And that's kind of the basic gist of it.

00:06:50.760 I mean, if we had longer, I'd go really, really in depth.

00:06:54.760 But it's a huge, huge topic.

00:06:57.760 No, I think that's a very fair assessment, Lewis.

00:07:00.760 And, you know, you were there along with Avi and some other rebels.

00:07:04.760 And by the way, you did fantastic work.

00:07:07.760 All of you.

00:07:08.760 Thank you.

00:07:09.760 I'm I was reading media accounts, mainstream media accounts about what was going on in Davos.

00:07:14.760 And it seemed to be that the pitch from the WF is that increased globalization would solve all the problems plaguing the world today.

00:07:24.760 And by that, I mean the climate crisis, inflation, high energy prices, broken supply chains, et cetera.

00:07:32.760 Are you buying that?

00:07:34.760 Definitely not, David.

00:07:36.760 Absolutely not.

00:07:38.760 The idea that a select group of people with their own vision can implement a plan towards everyday people like me and yourself.

00:07:51.760 And they think they hold all the cards to the public on what they believe is beneficial for us.

00:07:58.760 That's wrong.

00:07:59.760 Now, if you would have asked me if this was happening two, maybe three years ago, I would have written it off.

00:08:06.760 And I think a lot of people have been writing off this idea of a group of powerful people getting together and wanting to rearrange the world.

00:08:15.760 Yeah.

00:08:16.760 I mean, it's now so clear as day and so open for anyone to access and look at.

00:08:23.760 It's gotten to the point where you cannot refute it.

00:08:28.760 And this idea of, you know, lots of things between implementing chips into people's heads.

00:08:37.760 You know, from that to, of course, tracking your carbon footprint and then potentially stopping you from going over that limit through spending or through various things or adding so much technology to society where it almost becomes like some sort of science fiction novel.

00:08:59.760 It gets to the point where, yeah, people should be worried.

00:09:03.760 People should be waking up to this and go, do you know what?

00:09:06.760 There's something to say here.

00:09:07.760 There's a there's a lot of questions that need answering.

00:09:10.760 So I kind of guess that was the main purpose of going on this big trip.

00:09:15.760 And tell me, Lewis, when I was observing the mainstream media coverage of what was going on in Davos at best, it was apologetic of the World Economic Forum.

00:09:28.760 At worst, the mainstream media journalists were acting like cheerleaders.

00:09:33.760 It was almost a patronizing tone.

00:09:35.760 Listen, people, these are the important folks in the world.

00:09:39.760 Listen to what they have to say.

00:09:40.760 The world will be a better place.

00:09:42.760 I don't know if you were monitoring what the mainstream media was reporting, Lewis, but do I have it right in my assessment?

00:09:49.760 Yeah, absolutely.

00:09:51.760 I mean, we think Avi bumped into a New York Times senior editor and they had, well, a lot to say.

00:09:59.760 Well, I say she didn't have a lot to say, but we don't have a lot of questions.

00:10:04.760 Put it that way.

00:10:05.760 Yeah.

00:10:06.760 The problem is with the mainstream media in this event is that they they were accredited.

00:10:12.760 They were invited.

00:10:13.760 So how can it be fair for these reporters to be invited to a very significant summit with the most powerful people in the world?

00:10:23.760 Do we trust someone or a reporter or a journalist or an organization that was invited, handpicked by this particular organization to write a fair report?

00:10:34.760 I don't think so.

00:10:35.760 So I think the fairest people that would come to these sort of events and cover them would be people that weren't invited.

00:10:44.760 Someone like us, maybe not to toot our own horn.

00:10:47.760 But I think people that aren't invited to these events that want to cover them and that aren't accredited have more to say than these reporters or mainstream journalists that, yeah, just jump in.

00:11:01.760 I would also say, Lewis, that and you guys did report on this, if memory serves.

00:11:07.760 It was almost a conflict of interest because there were media organizations that were sponsors of the World Economic Forum.

00:11:14.760 So we know exactly where they they are weighing in when it comes to the WEF.

00:11:20.760 But, you know, the other prevalent theme in your reports, which I did not see in mainstream media coverage, Lewis, is the outrageous hypocrisy, the double standards.

00:11:31.760 It's almost as though the WEF was preaching, look, give up your car, eat bugs instead of steak and everything will get so much better.

00:11:44.760 And yet these cats are living high on the hog.

00:11:48.760 They're jet setting and private jets all over the globe.

00:11:52.760 They're staying in five star resorts.

00:11:54.760 I mean, Lewis, it's a little rich, wouldn't you say?

00:11:58.760 Oh, I agree.

00:11:59.760 Completely agree.

00:12:00.760 I mean, even going to that private airports was, you know, damning enough.

00:12:05.760 Going to a private airport and having the air traffic controllers giving us the report on all the planes that flew in for even that day was it's pretty eye opening.

00:12:18.760 And you think to yourself and, you know, the funny thing about that as well to add was is they said, well, unfortunately, they couldn't get their private helicopter transport over after they've just flew in private jet.

00:12:34.760 They had to actually take a car.

00:12:36.760 So that's that's kind of like that.

00:12:39.760 Oh, yeah.

00:12:40.760 Pity for them, isn't it?

00:12:41.760 Complete pity for them. 0.97

00:12:42.760 But, yeah, it's hypocrisy. 0.81

00:12:44.760 It's double standards.

00:12:45.760 And do you know what?

00:12:48.760 If someone was to try and, you know, push out this climate alarmist nonsense, their message, I'd at least expect them to practice what they preach before they start, you know, ramming this down the public's throat.

00:13:02.760 Yeah.

00:13:03.760 What a concept lead by example.

00:13:05.760 And Lewis, I really hope I live long enough to win some mega million dollar lottery.

00:13:10.760 So I can say to you one day, my friend, Lewis, I'm so sorry, I can't pick you up on my private helicopter.

00:13:15.760 It'll just have to be a luxury SUV or limousine.

00:13:19.760 I hope you don't mind.

00:13:20.760 Unbelievable.

00:13:21.760 Unbelievable.

00:13:22.760 But, you know, seriously, Lewis, when it comes to the WEF, I think the big question is this.

00:13:29.760 And you hear all kinds of differing responses all over the political agenda.

00:13:35.760 Does the WEF have any tangible power to influence the decisions of elected governments?

00:13:44.760 It's a big question.

00:13:45.760 I think, yes, a lot of people write it off.

00:13:48.760 I say yes.

00:13:49.760 And the reason being is this has been in motion since 1971 and have had various dealings with many other organizations such as the European Commission funding Klaus Schwab's first ever annual summit in 1971 for the World Economic Forum.

00:14:09.760 They've modeled off of other organizations such as the Club of Rome, which is very famous for talking about very spicy subjects such as overpopulation and things like that.

00:14:20.760 They've modeled off of these types of organizations before and to add the young global leaders scheme where you've seen many, many young global leaders that are in power now.

00:14:32.760 So they're old global leaders technically now.

00:14:34.760 But at the time they were homegrown from this organization and now have sprouted into various cabinets.

00:14:41.760 Klaus Schwab said that famous quote where he said, we penetrate the cabinets.

00:14:46.760 And they was talking specifically, unfortunately, about your country, David, of Canada and saying that more than half of the cabinet are from the WEF, young global leaders.

00:14:59.760 And there are various other of world leaders now that have stemmed from this organization.

00:15:07.760 So, yes, I there is an immense amount of power.

00:15:11.760 You can only look at what they are repeating, build back better and things like that.

00:15:16.760 And, you know, Boris wants to phase out diesel and petrol by 2030.

00:15:21.760 Coincidentally, the agenda 2030 and the sustainability development that the WEF are really pushing.

00:15:28.760 And it's all what they're saying. It's not what I'm drawing conclusions from.

00:15:32.760 It's what they are saying. So that's the key points.

00:15:35.760 I'll tell you, Lewis, maybe this is unfair, but maybe it's the accent.

00:15:39.760 Maybe it's how he comes across. But whenever I see Klaus Schwab speak, all I can think of is either a James Bond or an Austin Powers villain doing a monologue.

00:15:49.760 One last question, because we're running late here.

00:15:51.760 No worries.

00:15:52.760 Based on what you saw on Dave Davos Lewis, is there really any need for such an entity as the World Economic Forum?

00:16:02.760 No, no. The short answer is no, because it's not within the people's favour.

00:16:09.760 I mean, you can only look at the theme and the narrative of this particular summit.

00:16:14.760 And it was all about regaining trust. And you've got to just break down what that means.

00:16:19.760 Oh, so the theme of this annual meeting is about regaining trust from the public.

00:16:25.760 That means that the public do not trust them. They do not trust their vision or their plan or their idea to implement on the people.

00:16:33.760 So, no, absolutely not. It's a conflicted, a very conflicted idea and organisation between what they want, what these elitists want.

00:16:45.760 And they're not elite, because that's a different phrase, elitists, where, you know, they think that they're doing no wrong.

00:16:52.760 You know, a cat doesn't know it's meowing, a cow doesn't know it moves, and they don't know that they're being evil.

00:16:59.760 So that's that's all it is.

00:17:01.760 Wow. Well, Lewis, I want to say to you again, thank you and your teammates for such superb coverage.

00:17:08.760 It was true journalism. It wasn't an exercise in public relations, which was it.

00:17:14.760 See, that seemed to be the agenda of the the legacy media, as far as I could tell.

00:17:18.760 So thank you so much again.

00:17:20.760 And maybe we'll send you to the next World Economic Forum if you can actually stomach it.

00:17:27.760 Stomach it. Yeah. Well, I won't be in bugs. Put it that way.

00:17:31.760 Then thank you so much, my friend.

00:17:33.760 Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.

00:17:35.760 You got it. And that was Lewis Brackpool in London.

00:17:39.760 Keep it here, folks. More Bravo Roundup to come right after this.

00:17:46.760 We know that Health Canada has been paying influencers to push pro vaccine, pro lockdown messaging.

00:17:51.760 Frankly, it's almost expected that when we see someone in pop culture pushing the official government line, that they're being paid for it.

00:17:59.760 They're being paid to push us to submit to rules on our lives that they scarcely live by themselves.

00:18:04.760 Millionaires taking tax money to convince the little guy to comply with lockdowns that could destroy the little guy financially.

00:18:11.760 It's all transactional. It's gross. It's the Kardashian vacation of public health.

00:18:16.760 But at least if you've been paying attention, you know what's happening.

00:18:19.760 It's published in the CBC. Health Canada wants influencers to spread covid messaging.

00:18:24.760 But what if the brainwashing is coming from people under the guise of government with the credibility of being part of the public health cabal?

00:18:33.760 What if government bureaucrats were being paid to be influencers by private pharmaceutical companies on top of their current government salaries to tweet and Instagram the ways of the covid deep state?

00:18:45.760 And because of social media rules, if you question their paid talking points, you could be canceled and banned.

00:18:51.760 Let me show you this access to information filing we found as a proactive release on the government website.

00:18:58.760 What this means is someone else filed for this information and the government has now released the documents to the public.

00:19:03.760 I don't know who did this filing, but I think they know something we don't look at what they asked for.

00:19:09.760 Any document Health Canada holds to see that civil servants or executives have received amounts of money or various gifts to act as influencers for private companies for the last year to January 8th, 2021.

00:19:23.760 Now, the dates are important here. They're asking for the pandemic dates.

00:19:27.760 This person, I think, is asking in a sneaky way if bureaucrats are getting paid by big pharma to push vaccines or by Amazon, for example, to tell people to stay at home and do all their shopping that way.

00:19:37.760 The government returned documents. They don't deny that civil servants were getting cash and gifts from private companies to act as paid influencers to the public.

00:19:46.760 In fact, we know they were doing it. There's an admission on page 17.

00:19:50.760 What we see here is an email exchange from one bureaucrat to their superior regarding a potential conflict of interest stemming from being hired as a paid health influencer as an employee of Public Health Canada.

00:20:03.760 Look at this subject. Conflict of Interest Declaration Form. Importance high. Yeah, I bet it is. You've got to get paid, don't you? Anyway.

00:20:12.760 Hi, Randy. As promised, here is my conflict of interest declaration form along with a word document with information to be included in section C of the form.

00:20:23.760 I appreciate you and your team expediting this review. Thank you.

00:20:28.760 Thank you. And then it is all redacted. We don't know what company hired this public health bureaucrat.

00:20:33.760 We don't know how much they were paid and we don't know who they are, but we do know that the team expedited this review.

00:20:41.760 But the government won't tell us, the public, who is doing it. Was it Theresa Tam? Who?

00:20:47.760 They won't tell us how frequently they were doing it. They won't tell us how much they were getting paid to do it, but we do know they were doing it.

00:20:54.760 They won't say who hired them. It's all redacted.

00:20:57.760 Now, this is where you can help me. We are appealing these redactions. These bureaucrats don't get to use their taxpayer-funded perch and the credibility of being a so-called trusted government source, at least according to social media and the mainstream media, to enrich themselves, manipulate the public, and then hide it all. 0.57

00:21:24.760 For Rebel News, I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:21:26.760 So what, pray tell, is more egregious that there are millionaires taking taxpayer dollars to convince the great unwashed masses to comply with lockdowns?

00:21:38.760 You know, lockdowns that could very well destroy them financially.

00:21:43.760 Or the fact that there is essentially zero transparency from the federal government when it comes to this perverse scheme.

00:21:52.760 And hey, so much for sunny ways yet again.

00:21:57.760 And with more on this story is Rebel News chief reporter, Sheila Gunn-Reed.

00:22:03.760 How you doing there, Sheila?

00:22:04.760 I'm doing great, David. Thanks for having me on the show.

00:22:07.760 Always a pleasure.

00:22:08.760 Sheila, the lack of transparency on this file is absolutely outrageous, I think, especially since government works for us, not vice versa.

00:22:19.760 Why are they being so secretive about this scheme in the first place?

00:22:24.760 Well, it's extra secretive because it's not just outside influencers that we're talking about here.

00:22:30.760 I think most people know when a celebrity is telling them to run out and buy or do this certain thing that they're being paid for it.

00:22:39.760 Now, are they being paid for it by the company or by the government?

00:22:43.760 You generally know that if you see somebody that you follow on Instagram who's high profile pushing something that there's probably a financial incentive for them to do that.

00:22:56.760 What makes what makes what the Public Health Agency of Canada was doing extra sinister was it was their own staff who were taking money and gifts.

00:23:09.760 And we can't really know what they were taking.

00:23:12.760 But we do know that they were reporting these things to their bosses.

00:23:18.760 They were flagging these issues as potential conflicts of interest, basically saying, hey, this is what I've been offered, but that part's all redacted from our documents.

00:23:28.760 Can you clear this as quick as possible so I can do this deal?

00:23:35.760 Well, that's what we're seeing.

00:23:37.760 And we don't know the companies.

00:23:39.760 We don't know the terms, but we do know that public health agency bureaucrats and staff were being paid as influencers by outside companies.

00:23:49.760 And what's interesting here and what makes me suspicious is it was happening during the time of the pandemic during that time frame.

00:23:57.760 So were they being paid by Health Canada to the Public Health Agency of Canada?

00:24:03.760 Were they being paid by Moderna, Pfizer, some of these other companies?

00:24:09.760 Were they being paid by Amazon, the lockdown beneficiaries?

00:24:13.760 We don't know who they were being paid by or the agreements that they were getting, you know, the these payments and gifts around.

00:24:20.760 We do know what was happening, though, because it's in the emails that they were flagging the potential conflicts of interest to their superiors.

00:24:27.760 You know, Sheila, in the bigger picture, what do you think about this whole idea of influencers basically promoting an experimental vaccine?

00:24:37.760 And I think back to late last year, Peel region here in the greater Toronto area, they had the chief medical health officer join forces with Brampton Batman in order to get kids on board with getting the jab in Toronto.

00:24:54.760 Mayor John Tory teamed up with Polkaroo from Polkaroo from Polkaroo, which went off the air in 1993, I believe.

00:25:01.760 Yeah, there's no young people that know who Polkaroo is.

00:25:04.760 But the point I'm trying to make here in this case, the influencers were kid friendly icons to, I guess, get kids excited about getting jabbed.

00:25:16.760 It gives me a queasy feeling. What about you?

00:25:19.760 Yeah, it does me, too. For example, if I'm wearing a T-shirt or something of a company, I'm mostly I've never gotten paid for it.

00:25:28.760 No one's ever paid me to promote anything ever.

00:25:32.760 You know, if we're doing a sponsorship in one of our shows, for example, we've had sponsorships in the past with resistance coffee, we make that very clear.

00:25:42.760 But there's low liability in, you know, promoting a coffee company or wearing the T-shirt of an archery store that stood up to the lockdown.

00:25:54.760 There's low liability in that for the person doing it.

00:26:00.760 And equally, there's low liability for these influencers.

00:26:04.760 If they use their platform and, you know, their social clout, I guess is the right word, to incentivize other people and encourage other people to engage in things they otherwise wouldn't like vaccinating their little tiny children.

00:26:22.760 What's the harm in it for them?

00:26:25.760 They get paid and they get to go on with the rest of their lives.

00:26:28.760 But who lives with the fallout if something goes wrong?

00:26:31.760 Not them, but the people they encourage.

00:26:33.760 And so there's more social consequences, I think, when they're pushing these medical initiatives, really, as opposed to just pushing a brand or a supplement company or whatever.

00:26:46.760 That's, I think, a lot different for an influencer to do that than to encourage people to take, as you say, experimental vaccines where we are now learning a lot more about the consequences for certain people and injuries for certain people due to, you know, this push to vaccinate immediately as many people as possible.

00:27:11.760 And, you know, Sheila, another issue, I think, is do celebrity endorsements work?

00:27:17.760 I mean, I can't get myself into the mind of somebody who looks at a so-called influencer and says, oh, yeah, because he or she said that I'm going to purchase that good or service or, in this case, get vaccinated.

00:27:34.020 I mean, you know, I see Wayne Gretzky on TV right now promoting a MGM gambling app.

00:27:40.400 That doesn't mean I'm going to rush out and sign up.

00:27:43.600 If I want to gamble, I'm going to do my research and I'm going to gamble on the merits of the odds and payouts and whatnot.

00:27:50.900 So, again, I bring it back to does this kind of influencing from celebrities and so-called celebrities even work?

00:27:58.640 I don't know.

00:28:00.020 I think sometimes it does.

00:28:01.060 And I think it depends on the mindset of the person that, you know, the media by which you're consuming it.

00:28:07.140 For example, you know, when you see the Daily Wire promoting their brand of razors, their cancel-proof brand of razors, that's a little different because it's appealing to people like me who want to support brands who support freedom.

00:28:23.080 Resistance Coffee is a great idea of this.

00:28:25.540 In the past, Black Rifle Coffee, people supported Black Rifle Coffee because it was sort of a pro-Second Amendment company.

00:28:33.100 And so I think when there's also a social issue behind the brand being promoted by the high-profile person, I hate to use the word influencer, that's a little different than Kim Kardashian wants me to buy these supplements that she promises will make my butt big.

00:28:51.920 I think that's a little bit different.

00:28:53.900 Now, on the flip side, there are people who are on social media for those reasons.

00:29:01.080 They follow influencers because they want to follow the trends and jump on the trends and they have a very superficial sort of worldview.

00:29:08.920 That influencing does work on them.

00:29:10.980 And that other influencing, it kind of works on me.

00:29:13.680 So I guess it depends on who's doing the influencing.

00:29:15.960 Interesting.

00:29:16.800 Interesting.

00:29:17.420 Sheila, one last question.

00:29:18.680 Given all the mystery on this file, where do we go from here in terms of getting the truth of the matter?

00:29:27.180 You know, we're appealing those redactions.

00:29:29.560 Again, this was not one of our access to information requests.

00:29:34.140 We found this on the Proactive Release website and it came back redacted.

00:29:38.300 So what we have to do is refile so that it's now our access to information request, which means after we refile and then naturally they send it to us completely redacted too, then we can refile and appeal.

00:29:52.820 And that sort of stuff, as you can already tell, takes time and it takes money.

00:29:57.280 We have a researcher who helps us because it's just impossible for us to do journalism and all those other things while dealing with the boring paperwork side of journalism.

00:30:05.820 And so if people would like to support our continued access to information investigations, particularly in trying to find out who was paying public health bureaucrats to influence, but we don't even know on what.

00:30:21.500 If you'd like to help us get that information, please consider making a donation at rebelinvestigates.com.

00:30:29.020 Well, Sheila, it was a great piece.

00:30:30.740 And thank you for warning me away from ingesting those Kim Kardashian special pills.

00:30:39.200 You have a good weekend, my friend.

00:30:41.700 Thanks, David.

00:30:42.300 You too.

00:30:43.000 All right.

00:30:43.560 And that was Sheila Gunn-Reed somewhere in the northern hinterland of Alberta.

00:30:48.780 Keep it here, folks.

00:30:49.520 More of Rebel Roundup to come right after this.

00:30:54.980 The federal government has invoked the Emergencies Act to supplement provincial and territorial capacity to address the blockades and occupations.

00:31:07.220 The government is issuing an order with immediate effect under the Emergencies Act authorizing Canadian financial institutions to temporarily cease providing financial services.

00:31:19.520 Where the institution suspects that an account is being used to further the illegal blockades and occupations.

00:31:28.520 The police wiretapped me under the criminal code, presumably for participating in the Freedom Convoy on Parliament Hill.

00:31:39.720 When you have a criminal code warrant of this magnitude, you are talking about homicides.

00:31:45.980 You are talking about high-level criminal activity, organized crime, etc.

00:31:49.840 We need to have our rights back.

00:31:52.760 We need stewards who are going to be serving us, not dominating us.

00:31:56.420 David Menzies for Rebel News here on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

00:32:03.280 Well, folks, going back to late January, when the Trucker Freedom Convoy first descended upon Parliament Hill, we witnessed so many examples of government overreach.

00:32:15.720 I'm talking about the truckers and their allies being demonized and vilified all the way to the invocation of the Emergencies Act.

00:32:26.740 Now, speaking of government overreach, I want to introduce you to my guest.

00:32:32.080 His name is Rob Stocky.

00:32:34.420 He is a former police officer.

00:32:36.960 And the story he has to tell about what happened to him as a result of the trucker convoy is equal parts egregious and disturbing.

00:32:48.600 We plan to get justice for those citizens who had their privacy rights trampled upon by government and law enforcement.

00:32:57.100 You can keep up to date with our efforts in this regard by visiting StopTheWireTapping.com.

00:33:03.980 That's StopTheWireTapping.com.

00:33:06.960 We're going to come at this from four different angles.

00:33:10.720 First, we have to tell the story.

00:33:13.200 Because the story of the Ontario government wiretapping political dissidents is so outrageous that if we don't have the proof, no one would ever believe it.

00:33:25.740 Then we've got a petition that we will deliver to the Attorney General of Ontario and the Federal Public Safety Minister

00:33:33.840 if we find out the federal government was involved in this also.

00:33:38.380 Our petition calls on the AG to stop the wiretapping of Canadians whose only crime is peacefully opposing government policy.

00:33:50.440 Our third plan of attack is as follows.

00:33:52.380 We want to find out the scale and scope of this wiretapping operation.

00:33:57.800 And we want to know who exactly was wiretapped.

00:34:01.800 We have an anonymous intake form at the same website.

00:34:06.640 And that is StopTheWireTapping.com where you can submit your information.

00:34:12.960 And we promise you, you will remain anonymous.

00:34:16.780 So Rob, thank you so much for joining me today.

00:34:20.280 As I mentioned in the preamble, you recently received a letter from the Attorney General of Ontario's office dated May 18, 2022.

00:34:33.960 And what did that letter say?

00:34:37.240 First of all, David, thank you for having me on your show.

00:34:40.140 And thank you for covering this very important story.

00:34:42.860 It's very important that the public hears about what's going on because it is so egregious.

00:34:47.820 On the 18th, I received a letter from the Attorney General of Ontario basically explaining I was actually the object of intercepted communications, which is a wiretap.

00:34:59.340 So for people who aren't familiar with the language, the police wiretapped me under the criminal code, presumably for participating in the Freedom Convoy on Parliament Hill.

00:35:13.280 And this was news to you that you were wiretapped.

00:35:16.900 I understand, Rob, that after a certain period of time, the rules are that you have to inform the subject of the wiretapping that he or she was indeed wiretapped.

00:35:29.180 So that's why you got the letter.

00:35:31.680 What was the reason for the wiretapping of your phone?

00:35:35.180 Well, if you look at the letter, which I provided, there is no reason to provide it.

00:35:39.620 It just says that I was the subject of a wiretap from these two dates.

00:35:44.580 And if you look at the actual section that I was wiretapped under, I was wiretapped under a section of exigent circumstances, meaning that the circumstances were so urgent and so worrisome about criminal activity that the government did not have time or the officers investigating did not have time to qualify all of the potential issues and reasoning why they're getting this wiretap.

00:36:13.840 So this wiretap was not only an emergency type of wiretap, but it was also allowed to be done ex parte.

00:36:21.800 Wow, what a bombshell.

00:36:24.780 And really, is this where we are in Canada right now?

00:36:28.180 That apparently having a contrarian opinion to the government makes you a so-called enemy of the state?

00:36:35.000 And thus, you can be subjected to wiretapping?

00:36:39.220 Hard to believe that 2022 is the 40th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

00:36:46.160 In any event, you had plenty to say about what happened to Rob Stocky.

00:36:52.060 Sven Carlson writes,

00:36:53.480 Well, Sven, given that the law-abiding Rob Stocky is not a member of the mafia nor Al-Qaeda,

00:37:16.860 subjecting this citizen to a wiretap is surely a textbook example of tyranny.

00:37:24.260 We still have no official reason for the wiretap.

00:37:28.980 Indeed, what did law enforcement officers say about Mr. Stocky that convinced a judge to grant the wiretapping order in the first place?

00:37:39.240 This remains the biggest unanswered question thus far, and I'd love to know the answer.

00:37:47.080 Supreme writes,

00:37:48.160 And here's the worst part, Supreme.

00:37:58.220 Under the Trudeau-Singh regime, things are going to get worse before they get better.

00:38:03.580 Just consider Bill C-11, which will allow the government to censor the Internet.

00:38:08.300 Apparently, impolite thoughts and words are verboten in Canada these days.

00:38:15.520 T. Amos writes,

00:38:17.360 None of the legacy media would cover this.

00:38:20.580 That's a very good point, T. Amos.

00:38:22.600 There is a huge story here, and since we broke it, I've done one interview with a radio station.

00:38:30.340 That would be Saga 960 AM.

00:38:32.780 And that's it.

00:38:34.020 So where is the media snowball regarding this incredibly important story?

00:38:40.140 Or are most members of the legacy media on side with the idea of wiretapping those who took part in the Freedom Convoy?

00:38:50.160 J.J. Chidoy writes,

00:38:52.160 Is this made up?

00:38:54.140 You know what, J.J.?

00:38:56.200 At first, we were skeptical about Mr. Stocke's story, too.

00:39:00.220 Then he supplied us with the evidence, namely that letter from the AGO.

00:39:05.420 Because really, it does sound surreal, doesn't it?

00:39:08.700 The idea of the government and law enforcement spying on law-abiding citizens simply because of their political leanings?

00:39:17.300 It's incredible.

00:39:19.420 And Hogwash writes,

00:39:21.100 Haven't you heard of the Cone of Silence?

00:39:23.820 Oh, I sure have, Hogwash.

00:39:25.460 But does one laugh or cry?

00:39:27.720 The Cone of Silence, of course, was that anti-eavesdropping device featured in the classic Get Smart TV series back in the 60s.

00:39:36.140 It was meant to shield conversations from enemy agents.

00:39:40.760 Alas, it never worked properly.

00:39:42.480 But if some tech guru could revive the Cone of Silence idea and work out all the kinks, 1.00

00:39:49.880 maybe there would indeed be a thriving market for such technology in Canada in the 21st century.

00:39:58.020 And really, folks, how sad is that?

00:40:01.040 Well, that wraps up another edition of Rebel Roundup.

00:40:03.900 Thanks so much for joining us.

00:40:05.460 See you next week.

00:40:06.360 And hey, folks, never forget, without risk, there can be no glory.

00:40:10.580 Good night.

00:40:12.480 Good night.
