Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ CBC President pushes Twitter censorship： Read the shocking internal documents

00:00:00.000 Tonight, CBC's president repeatedly threatened Twitter, demanding that they censor Canadians.

00:00:07.080 We've got their internal documents. It's May 3rd, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.

00:00:11.300 We're ready for freedom!

00:00:14.120 Shame on you, you censorious bug!

00:00:17.320 Today is World Press Freedom Day, which means it's the day that all the world's censors gaslight you

00:00:31.980 to pretend that they actually care about your freedom of speech.

00:00:35.360 Just last week, Justin Trudeau ran through a massive internet censorship bill called C-11.

00:00:40.540 Just today, Trudeau's CRTC regulator announced that it will be drafting and reviewing ethics guidelines for newsrooms across Canada.

00:00:50.780 Politicians will now go into independent news organizations and tell them how to do journalism.

00:00:57.580 Boy, that didn't take long, did it?

00:00:59.880 But I have big news for you today, an exclusive scoop for Rebel News.

00:01:04.460 And it has to do with the CBC state broadcaster.

00:01:07.360 As you know, Elon Musk briefly put a warning label on the CBC's Twitter account,

00:01:13.420 calling them a government-funded news agency, which is true.

00:01:17.180 The CBC say that themselves. It's obvious.

00:01:19.820 It's not just government-funded, it's president.

00:01:23.400 An entire board of directors is chosen by the government.

00:01:27.020 You just don't get more government-y than the CBC.

00:01:30.100 The CBC squawked about this for some reason.

00:01:32.500 It's weird.

00:01:33.160 And Elon Musk then changed the label to partly government-funded.

00:01:38.060 But now it looks like that label is gone.

00:01:39.860 I don't know why.

00:01:41.420 I think Elon Musk should reconsider that label based on what I'm about to show you.

00:01:46.120 Because you see, on this World Press Freedom Day,

00:01:48.640 I've got documents to show that senior CBC executives,

00:01:51.720 including the president of the CBC herself,

00:01:54.200 the American named Catherine Tate,

00:01:55.920 They engaged in an ongoing campaign to pressure Twitter to censor people the CBC didn't like.

00:02:03.280 For content the CBC didn't approve of,

00:02:06.220 who just happen to be the same people Justin Trudeau doesn't approve of.

00:02:10.200 And it gets worse.

00:02:12.160 The CBC's president, Catherine Tate,

00:02:14.240 makes a veiled threat against Twitter

00:02:16.400 that if Twitter doesn't ban the people the CBC wants banned,

00:02:19.980 And the CBC might stop doing business with Twitter,

00:02:23.000 stop advertising on Twitter.

00:02:24.300 And incredibly, the CBC threatens Twitter obliquely,

00:02:28.760 implying that they have a direct line to Trudeau's government.

00:02:32.480 And if Twitter doesn't do what they want,

00:02:34.320 the CBC will sick the government on them.

00:02:37.600 Yeah, I'd say that's pretty much a state broadcaster

00:02:40.420 in the most Soviet sense of the word.

00:02:43.340 I'll show it to you.

00:02:44.120 You can find the entire document on our website, rebelnews.com.

00:02:48.160 By the way, we are appealing the pages that they have hidden from us.

00:02:53.620 They sent us 14 pages, but five of them were completely blanked out.

00:02:58.160 Imagine the embarrassing things they didn't want to show us,

00:03:01.960 considering what they did show us.

00:03:04.880 You can find that on our website.

00:03:06.300 Let me start in chronological order.

00:03:09.220 This is a letter dated May 6th, 2021.

00:03:11.980 And I should mention that Elon Musk owned and bought Twitter after all these letters.

00:03:20.720 So this is how they were trying to pressure even the pre-Elon Musk company.

00:03:25.400 Imagine how bad they are now.

00:03:27.300 So May 6th, 2021, a confidential letter written to Paul Burns,

00:03:32.260 the managing director of Twitter Canada.

00:03:34.680 I am writing to you about an issue affecting the women and men

00:03:39.360 who work at Canada's public broadcaster,

00:03:41.300 as well as journalists working in Canada and around the world

00:03:44.140 who are increasingly targeted for harassment and abuse on your platform.

00:03:48.980 In particular, the daily barrage of online misogyny,

00:03:52.320 including threats of physical attack against women,

00:03:54.940 people of color, and their families, is toxic and terrifying. 1.00

00:03:59.900 This is from Catherine Tate, the president of the CBC.

00:04:02.460 Unacceptable abuse on social media platforms has been a growing problem

00:04:07.640 for members of the media, as well as for politicians and even medical professionals.

00:04:12.900 A 2018 Troll Patrol report by Amnesty International found that female journalists 0.98

00:04:17.920 and politicians are targeted for harassment or abuse on social media

00:04:21.440 roughly every 30 seconds, and that women of color experience even higher levels of abuse.

00:04:26.420 No working journalist today can afford to ignore the power of social media,

00:04:29.220 whether she's using it to amplify her work or engage with the audience.

00:04:33.040 Forced silence through relentless and vicious intimidation cannot be an option.

00:04:38.720 Okay, so there's no particular complaint here.

00:04:43.680 She's not talking about any particular tweet.

00:04:47.340 The head of the CBC is just running a campaign.

00:04:50.980 Is that her job, to get other companies to see the world the way she does?

00:04:58.280 And it just happens to be identical to Justin Trudeau's campaign at the same time?

00:05:02.260 That's weird.

00:05:03.520 And here she criticizes Twitter.

00:05:04.740 She says,

00:05:05.120 Your infringement process is haphazard and inconsistent.

00:05:10.980 It can often take days to get a response,

00:05:13.460 and too rarely does your company actually act to take down harassing material.

00:05:17.420 And most often, it is too late.

00:05:19.100 The harm has been done.

00:05:20.880 So let me get this straight.

00:05:22.020 The CBC is complaining.

00:05:24.620 The CBC, a government agency that sometimes delays access to information requests

00:05:29.200 by years, by years, they're complaining that Twitter sometimes takes days to get back to them.

00:05:38.140 As you are no doubt aware, Canada's Minister of Heritage will be tabling new legislation

00:05:43.920 to address online hate in the coming months.

00:05:47.880 What are you mentioning that for?

00:05:51.080 Why are you promoting what the Minister of Heritage is doing?

00:05:54.420 What's that got to do with anything?

00:05:55.520 That, by the way, was Bill C-36, a law that would fine people up to $20,000 for any statement

00:06:03.600 they made on social media, even if they made those statements as a kid.

00:06:08.120 You can look it up yourself.

00:06:10.100 She continues,

00:06:10.840 I am asking to meet with you so that we can agree on a clear, effective, and rapid process

00:06:16.380 for removing hateful material targeting journalists when it appears on your platform.

00:06:20.500 This will be an important step in improving the online world for our democracy, for all

00:06:26.060 of us.

00:06:28.680 So she's not, she's against online hate.

00:06:33.840 But hate is a natural human emotion.

00:06:35.980 Now, we don't like hate.

00:06:36.920 We prefer love, but it's natural.

00:06:39.520 And I mean, the CBC hates you.

00:06:41.880 The liberals hate you.

00:06:43.300 Justin Trudeau hates the unvaccinated.

00:06:46.220 The CBC said the truckers were organized by Vladimir Putin.

00:06:49.980 They hate the truckers.

00:06:50.740 Hate is a natural human emotion.

00:06:52.440 You can't really much ban a human emotion.

00:06:55.580 You can ban threats of violence or things like that.

00:06:58.900 And Twitter already does.

00:07:00.220 And of course, the criminal code applies everywhere, including on Twitter.

00:07:02.640 Why was Catherine Tate, apropos of nothing, promoting a government censorship agenda? 1.00

00:07:09.740 Isn't her job to be president and CEO of CBC Radio Canada? 0.97

00:07:14.640 It's right there in her signature line.

00:07:16.260 Since when does the president of the CBC tell other companies, private companies, what to do?

00:07:24.420 I mean, shouldn't the CBC get its own act together, run its own?

00:07:27.960 Why is the CBC pressuring other companies to take a certain censorship line?

00:07:35.220 Well, here's the next letter in this series.

00:07:37.600 It gets really weird.

00:07:38.420 This is a letter May 26th, 2021.

00:07:41.880 It's written to Stephanie King, vice president and deputy general counsel of Twitter in San Francisco.

00:07:47.860 And the subject line is tweet containing hate speech.

00:07:52.320 And what's weird is they've blacked out who this letter is from.

00:07:55.880 They showed the letter from Catherine Tate.

00:07:57.140 I don't know why they blanked this out.

00:07:59.660 I am blank to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

00:08:04.040 You're what?

00:08:06.360 We write concerning a series of tweets that was published on May 18th, 2021.

00:08:11.060 See Exhibit A.

00:08:11.920 And they won't show us those tweets.

00:08:13.100 I wonder why.

00:08:14.840 We consider the tweets to be dangerous hate speech in violation of Twitter's rules and policies.

00:08:19.600 We have filed numerous takedown requests since the tweets were published to no avail.

00:08:24.000 We wish the removal of these tweets.

00:08:25.920 I'm sure you do.

00:08:27.780 I mean, you're government journalists.

00:08:29.560 A real journalist would probably be more sympathetic to free speech, but you're government journalists.

00:08:35.040 And then there's another blacked out name.

00:08:37.760 An individual with the Twitter handle blank published a series of tweets in which he claims

00:08:43.500 is CBC News has banned all content that is sympathetic to Palestinians.

00:08:50.060 Now, I happen to know that's not true.

00:08:51.740 The CBC is actually quite pro-Palestinian.

00:08:54.300 But so what?

00:08:56.300 It's some guy's opinion.

00:08:57.880 It's some guy's opinion.

00:08:59.120 He's allowed to have an opinion.

00:09:00.540 He's allowed to even be wrong.

00:09:02.440 That's part of democracy.

00:09:03.500 Let me continue reading.

00:09:05.800 He expresses his desire that CBC be prevented from going on air unless its management backs down.

00:09:13.620 Now, I don't think I would like this Twitterer, as he sounds very, I might even say he is anti-Semitic by some of the other details in the letter.

00:09:22.540 But so what?

00:09:24.040 And the fact that this guy doesn't want the CBC to have its say, well, this very letter to Twitter is the CBC trying to silence that guy.

00:09:34.100 You have two illiberal forces saying, you shut up.

00:09:37.300 No, you shut up.

00:09:38.900 What is CBC doing telling Twitter to ban its critics?

00:09:43.680 Its critics might be wrong.

00:09:45.520 They might even be rude.

00:09:46.800 But since when does the CBC write lengthy letters to the general counsel of Twitter telling them to silence their critics?

00:09:54.620 We are of the view that these tweets are clearly designed to arouse anti-Jewish animus through their use of highly charged anti-Semitic language, e.g.

00:10:03.180 Jewish white supremacists, Zionist censors, supporters of Israeli apartheid, and the imperialist colony.

00:10:11.840 Look, I don't like those phrases either because I'm Jewish myself.

00:10:15.200 I'm pro-Israel.

00:10:15.900 You could call me a Zionist.

00:10:17.720 But those may be offensive words.

00:10:20.720 Or actually, I think they're more just words I would disagree with.

00:10:24.040 Um, since when is the CBC in the business of just silencing people who are wrong or have opinions they don't like?

00:10:32.580 And look at who this letter was copied to.

00:10:34.340 It was sent by some mystery person.

00:10:35.680 It was copied to Vijaya Gaddy, who is the head of legal policy and trust.

00:10:40.800 Copied to Michelle Austin, who is the head of public policy for Twitter in Canada.

00:10:44.620 And Paul Burns, the fellow who received the first letter.

00:10:47.960 And, of course, Cam Gordon, the head of communications for Twitter in Canada.

00:10:52.480 Oh, by the way, copied to Catherine Tate of the CBC also.

00:10:55.000 So that's two letters in short order telling Twitter to silence people they don't like.

00:11:00.540 And here we go.

00:11:01.260 June 9th.

00:11:01.820 They're really on a campaign here.

00:11:04.080 Subject.

00:11:05.060 Hate speech on your platform.

00:11:08.180 Miss King.

00:11:09.840 On May 26th, we wrote to you about a series of tweets published on your platform on May 18th, which we consider to be dangerous.

00:11:16.360 Hate speech.

00:11:17.340 Sorry, it's not dangerous to criticize Israel and call it apartheid.

00:11:21.140 It's wrong, in my view.

00:11:22.980 I find it maybe offensive and maybe insulting.

00:11:27.080 But it's not dangerous.

00:11:30.520 It's not dangerous in violation of Twitter's own rules and policies.

00:11:36.120 You must be aware by now of the degree to which your platform continues to weaponize the online harassment and abuse of journalists and media hosts, particularly women and those from racialized communities.

00:11:49.580 It attacks trusted news sources and thus undermines reasoned discourse, democracy, and the health of our societies.

00:11:57.320 Your lack of attention on this problem is extremely troubling.

00:12:00.600 It also gives credence to those in this country who believe that legislation is necessary in order to ensure that Twitter enforces its own guidelines and abides by domestic laws and regulations.

00:12:14.220 Oh, gee, I wonder who they're talking about.

00:12:17.360 By the way, I thought that they were worried about white supremacists and now they're saying this targets racialized minorities.

00:12:24.480 This is just all liberal, woke, gobbledygook.

00:12:27.840 But again, what is Twitter doing?

00:12:29.340 There are some people on Twitter who are anti-Israel and call it an apartheid country.

00:12:33.880 I happen to know it's not an apartheid country and we can have an argument about this.

00:12:37.560 Since when is the CBC in the business of demanding that Twitter silence them and saying those are dangerous views?

00:12:45.820 That's almost exactly the same language Justin Trudeau used to talk about critics of his vaccine policy.

00:12:51.600 He said those are unacceptable views.

00:12:54.660 CBC really is a state broadcaster, aren't they?

00:12:56.760 Here's how the letter has ended.

00:12:59.940 We expect Twitter to act promptly when it becomes aware of incidents of abuse of journalists facilitated by Twitter.

00:13:08.160 In this regard, we would like to establish a more direct and effective protocol to ensure that this will be the case in the future.

00:13:14.180 Yeah, they've heard about how the FBI and the CIA had a direct contact with Twitter so they could directly censor things.

00:13:22.460 The CBC wanted to be able to directly censor things on Twitter.

00:13:26.720 That is super gross.

00:13:29.700 We will raise this and other procedures in a meeting scheduled soon with the leadership of Twitter Canada.

00:13:36.100 Signed, Claude Gallupo, Executive Vice President.

00:13:40.420 Huh, really?

00:13:41.580 Okay, well now it looks like the meeting had happened because now we're on the June 23rd letter to no one less than the CEO, Jack Dorsey.

00:13:50.760 So this is the CBC coming back at it again and again and again.

00:13:54.860 They're on a real campaign.

00:13:56.780 It's almost like they were taking orders from Trudeau himself.

00:14:00.220 Let me read excerpts from this so you can see the whole thing on our website, rebelnews.com.

00:14:04.080 Mr. Dorsey, as President and CEO of Canada's public broadcaster, I am writing to request a meeting with you to determine how we will ensure that Twitter effectively acts in removing offensive material from its platform.

00:14:19.060 Can you imagine if the shoe is on the other foot, if Jack Dorsey said, dear CBC, I would like an immediate meeting with you to talk about how we can remove offensive things on your platform.

00:14:28.720 Could you imagine how CBC would squawk about that?

00:14:32.140 Here's the CBC demanding that Twitter remove offensive things.

00:14:37.760 Offensive.

00:14:38.560 Offensive to the CBC or to Trudeau?

00:14:41.180 Well, who cares?

00:14:42.320 Since when does the CBC tell anyone what they can or can't say?

00:14:45.720 Let me this is this next part is very interesting.

00:14:48.920 On June 10th, I met with Michelle Austin and Cam Gordon, your representatives here in Canada.

00:14:55.300 To be honest, I found our meeting unsatisfactory.

00:14:59.740 We were told that our case had been reviewed and found not to be in contravention of Twitter's policies.

00:15:06.920 When we asked how we could appeal this decision, we were told to feel free to pursue whatever action we consider appropriate.

00:15:14.120 And then look at this line.

00:15:16.460 Given our business relationship with your company, I found this response not only unhelpful, but quite frankly, rude.

00:15:24.640 Let me translate what that means.

00:15:27.000 We spend thousands of dollars on advertising on Twitter.

00:15:31.200 You better make this right or we will boycott you.

00:15:34.660 And then this.

00:15:37.660 I recall your testimony to Congress in 2018 where you committed to protecting your platform from disinformation and to, quote, encourage more healthy debate, conversations and critical thinking on the platform.

00:15:48.760 That commitment is at odds with Twitter's failure to act when a provider of trusted news, in this case, CBC Radio Canada, is unable to get action on offending or misleading content.

00:16:00.560 Oh, so it's not hateful anymore.

00:16:03.160 It's certainly not illegal or dangerous.

00:16:05.560 It's just what they disagree with.

00:16:09.200 Misleading.

00:16:10.960 Unhelpful.

00:16:12.200 The CBC is literally trying to censor things that they declare to be misinformation.

00:16:17.040 Again, that is Trudeau's tactic now, too.

00:16:19.020 Since when is the CBC in charge of censoring other media?

00:16:23.480 And not for anything hateful or harassing.

00:16:26.020 They're not trying that line here again.

00:16:27.400 They're just saying things that they deem to be misinformation.

00:16:30.740 So the CBC not only is a propaganda organ itself, they want Twitter to follow their instructions.

00:16:38.060 I would hope you would share our concern about the degree to which your platform weaponizes the harassment and abuse of journalists and hosts, particularly women and those from racialized communities.

00:16:49.040 No example is given, by the way.

00:16:50.560 As you know, this is a global issue when all our media colleagues, especially in public broadcasting, are facing.

00:17:00.260 Let me translate.

00:17:01.640 Stop people saying mean things about our left-wing bias.

00:17:06.520 But look at this next part.

00:17:08.120 This is the threat.

00:17:10.660 Here is the CBC state broadcaster bearing its fangs.

00:17:13.940 Look at this.

00:17:14.400 We have been sharing our mounting concerns with the Canadian government, which is proposing legislation to address online hate.

00:17:28.020 There is significant public support for such legislation.

00:17:31.560 That's not true, actually.

00:17:32.780 As head of a media organization which values freedom of speech and of the press, I would prefer that Twitter take meaningful action on its own to address this problem.

00:17:45.180 Nice free speech platform you got there.

00:17:48.540 Shame if something were to happen to it.

00:17:50.560 You know, we were talking to the government the other day and, whoo, boy, let me just put it this way.

00:17:55.480 It would be better if you fixed this problem voluntarily now than if my friends in government fixed it.

00:18:02.240 Because we love free speech.

00:18:04.080 So, censor what I want you to censor.

00:18:08.340 I say again, all of this was a year before Elon Musk bought Twitter.

00:18:15.520 I say again, that these access to information documents, which were exclusively given to us, they're still hiding five of the 14 pages.

00:18:23.540 They blacked them out.

00:18:25.480 The CBC was making threats to other companies to censor Canadians.

00:18:32.200 They were making business threats.

00:18:34.360 They were making political threats on behalf of Trudeau.

00:18:39.580 Will Trudeau admit that or will he disavow that?

00:18:44.320 Was Catherine Tate just talking tough or did she really say to Trudeau, I'll help you get Twitter.

00:18:50.800 And if they don't bow the knee to me, you come in with the heavy stuff.

00:18:55.480 Catherine Tate, the boss of CBC, is indistinguishable from Trudeau in terms of political policy.

00:19:03.980 Her letters could have and maybe even were written by Trudeau's office.

00:19:08.320 And everything I've showed you today is what they put in writing.

00:19:13.820 Imagine what they would say in phone calls or meetings.

00:19:20.200 Imagine the coordination behind the scenes with Trudeau.

00:19:23.320 She already admitted that they've been consulting with the government on what to do about Twitter.

00:19:27.880 And imagine what they've already got away with, with pro-censorship companies like YouTube and Facebook.

00:19:37.180 Catherine Tate of the CBC is not a journalist.

00:19:40.500 She is a Trudeau liberal operative masquerading as a journalist.

00:19:46.320 She's literally the personification of fake news. 1.00

00:19:52.800 Stay with us for more.

00:20:07.300 What is the stuff of life?

00:20:09.740 Well, I'm not talking about love.

00:20:11.980 I'm talking about the things that let us go from day to day.

00:20:15.080 Food and fuel.

00:20:16.240 If you have cheap, clean fuel, like natural gas, for example, you can do anything.

00:20:24.180 And food, well, that's the stuff of life, literally.

00:20:27.920 And so it's interesting over the last two years in particular, in part since Joe Biden took office,

00:20:34.360 but I think in general, to see the prices of food and of energy climb.

00:20:41.140 But it almost seems as if that is a deliberate plan, and that's what's so baffling.

00:20:47.620 We've seen that in Canada before, as Justin Trudeau has tried to transition off the oil sands

00:20:54.520 and even block liquid natural gas exports to Europe, despite the demands of Germany and Japan

00:21:01.440 to ask us to sell our liquefied natural gas to them.

00:21:05.560 It seems as if Justin Trudeau actually wants the price of energy to be expensive, to have energy poverty.

00:21:14.000 And an explanation for this is ideological extremism, but also to force people to do what Stefan Dian called the carbon shift.

00:21:22.460 If using fossil fuel energy is difficult and expensive, maybe people will grudgingly use green energy schemes that simply can't compete.

00:21:32.380 And now we're seeing the same thing with food, just like there's been a war on carbon for the last generation.

00:21:39.120 Now we see a bizarre war on nitrogen in the form of fertilizers, telling farmers they can no longer fertilize.

00:21:46.320 The Netherlands, which is the second largest food exporter in the world, shocking for a country that small size,

00:21:51.860 is the pointy edge of the spear for this.

00:21:54.960 They're going to drive up the cost of food, just like they've driven up the cost of fuel.

00:22:00.240 I think it's connected.

00:22:01.700 I'm not quite sure how.

00:22:03.780 I find it deeply disturbing.

00:22:06.120 And so I see all these things coming together today on one of my favorite websites.

00:22:09.100 I'm talking about climatedepot.com.

00:22:11.520 We go to climatedepot.com and we've been friends with their founder, Mark Morano, for more than a decade.

00:22:16.700 And we usually go to him to talk about things involving the theory of man-made global warming.

00:22:21.840 He's an expert on these matters.

00:22:23.360 He always attends the UN Global Warming Conference.

00:22:26.040 So it was interesting to me to see this huge headline on climatedepot.com today.

00:22:32.400 Eating insects may offer environmental benefits.

00:22:36.960 Brits would be told to eat bugs under bonkers green plans by civil servants.

00:22:45.240 That's a story in the sun of the UK.

00:22:48.260 But at the same day, I see a story in the Wall Street Journal.

00:22:52.460 Switzerland wants children to eat less chocolate, more insects.

00:22:59.380 Companies pitch bugs to young consumers at schools.

00:23:03.320 Spicy mealworms don't fly with Anna. 1.00

00:23:06.780 Blech.

00:23:07.200 I was recently in Switzerland when I was there to cover Davos, and they love their chocolate.

00:23:12.280 They're the world's foremost chocolatiers, though the Belgians would quarrel with that.

00:23:16.360 Imagine replacing that with bugs.

00:23:18.060 Joining us now right now is the boss of climatedepot.com to help us make sense of all of this.

00:23:23.340 Mark, great to see you.

00:23:25.260 There was a war on cheap, clean energy.

00:23:29.220 Now there's a war on nutritious, natural food.

00:23:32.540 How are they connected?

00:23:34.120 They're all connected.

00:23:35.100 There's also a war on private car ownership and gas-powered cars.

00:23:40.660 This is all very simple, Ezra.

00:23:42.240 If you know who the players are, and you, of course, do know.

00:23:44.760 But, I mean, if you look at this in the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, the World

00:23:49.080 Health Organization, players like Bill Gates, George Soros, it's a very simple vision.

00:23:53.900 Their stated public goal, and I can go through dozens of examples on everything, where they

00:23:59.160 actually say higher food prices are good to get people to eat.

00:24:02.940 Higher energy prices are good for the green agenda.

00:24:05.160 But their goal is to intentionally collapse our energy system to create a transition to

00:24:11.160 what they're seeking, solar, wind, green energy, and limited resources.

00:24:15.040 Their intention is to collapse our transportation system, banning of gas-powered cars.

00:24:21.200 And that goes actually pretty deep, because you have the World Bank telling the automakers

00:24:25.760 they're not going to be funding for gas-powered cars.

00:24:28.400 You have corporate banks not going to give out car loans.

00:24:31.800 You have now cities and towns in Colorado, California, voting for no new gas stations,

00:24:36.020 which will, even if you own a gas-powered car, you're going to start facing gas shortages.

00:24:40.140 And then, of course, they're trying to collapse our current agriculture and food system.

00:24:45.300 And they're doing that in so many different ways, but all under the umbrella, pretty much,

00:24:49.580 of the net zero agenda.

00:24:51.420 And the net zero agenda, as you alluded to, Ezra, deals with the Netherlands as the first

00:24:56.580 test case, where the idea is you can't have nitrogen, because nitrogen creates nitrous oxide.

00:25:01.660 It's a greenhouse gas.

00:25:02.860 We've got to go after these farmers.

00:25:04.640 We're going to put in heavy, big restrictions.

00:25:06.280 And guess what?

00:25:07.380 They're only going to affect the small, family-run, traditional farms, up to 11,000 in the Netherlands,

00:25:14.520 not the big agribusiness, corporate Chinese, Bill Gates, mega-giant firms that run them. 0.98

00:25:20.980 They can absorb all these new net zero costs.

00:25:23.880 It's the small farms.

00:25:24.960 And if you relate that back to COVID, who could afford the lockdown mandates that went on for

00:25:30.380 years?

00:25:30.940 Big corporations and retail chains, not the small mom-and-pops.

00:25:35.040 It's the same thing.

00:25:36.140 They are collapsing food, energy, and transportation to boot our free speech as well, and throw

00:25:43.620 in our financial system as well, devaluing our currency.

00:25:47.080 So they're doing all of this intentionally, and it's to create a new world order slash great

00:25:52.100 reset.

00:25:53.260 You know, what you're saying sounds shocking.

00:25:57.020 Each part of it is shocking.

00:25:58.800 Together, it's almost too much to believe.

00:26:01.380 But I know for a fact each element you've described is there.

00:26:04.940 I mean, here's a famous video that I always tweet on Twitter.

00:26:09.200 It's Bill Gates coming up with a mathematical formula.

00:26:12.420 And he says, we absolutely have to reduce the number of humans in the world.

00:26:19.440 This is a TED talk he gave.

00:26:20.760 Look at this.

00:26:21.900 Absolutely terrifying.

00:26:22.940 Imagine putting this guy in charge of the world's vaccines, for example.

00:26:26.560 Take a look at this.

00:26:27.200 It's an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet.

00:26:31.220 And somehow we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero.

00:26:37.080 It's been constantly going up.

00:26:39.440 It's only various economic changes that have even flattened it at all.

00:26:43.820 So we have to go from rapidly rising to falling and falling all the way to zero.

00:26:49.400 This equation has four factors, a little bit of multiplication.

00:26:53.540 So you've got a thing on the left, CO2, that you want to get to zero.

00:26:57.160 And that's going to be based on the number of people, the services each person's using on average,

00:27:04.120 the energy on average for each service, and the CO2 being put out per unit of energy.

00:27:11.160 So let's look at each one of these and see how we can get this down to zero.

00:27:16.600 Probably one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero.

00:27:20.780 That's back from high school algebra.

00:27:23.380 But let's take a look.

00:27:25.380 First, we've got population.

00:27:27.720 The world today has 6.8 billion people.

00:27:30.380 That's headed up to about 9 billion.

00:27:32.040 Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services,

00:27:39.200 we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.

00:27:42.200 But there we see an increase of about 1.3.

00:27:46.260 So you said a lot of astonishing things there, but I just happen to know that everything you said,

00:27:51.200 I mean, the craziest thing, and I literally dry heave whenever I think about it.

00:27:55.960 Here's Bill Gates, who's buying up all the farmland in America.

00:27:58.940 I think he's now the largest farmland owner in America.

00:28:00.860 Here he is promoting the drinking of what he calls poop water.

00:28:05.020 Take a look.

00:28:06.240 Over 2.5 billion people have no access to safe sanitation.

00:28:11.120 We asked brilliant engineers to help us solve this problem.

00:28:14.400 And one of those engineers actually has proposed a solution where the waste is valuable.

00:28:19.180 The omniprocessor turns sewer sludge, which is kind of nasty, into clean drinking water, electricity, and ash that is pathogen-free.

00:28:29.760 This is where the sludge enters the machine.

00:28:32.180 It goes up this conveyor belt, is fed into these large tubes we call the dryer.

00:28:36.280 That's where we boil the sludge. 1.00

00:28:39.040 And in the boiling process, we separate the water vapor from the solids.

00:28:44.460 The solids are now dry, and we can feed them into the fire.

00:28:47.660 Once we have this very hot fire, we can make high-pressure, high-temperature steam.

00:28:52.440 And we take that steam, and we send it to a steam engine.

00:28:55.500 And the steam engine drives a generator that makes electricity that we use for the processor,

00:29:01.000 and also excess electricity that can be delivered back to the community.

00:29:04.440 The water vapor that's created in the boiling process is run through a cleaning system

00:29:09.120 until we have the cleanest, purest water you can possibly imagine.

00:29:12.700 I am very impressed with this solution we're seeing here.

00:29:16.060 It generates electricity.

00:29:17.580 It generates clean water.

00:29:19.240 It will grow to every corner of the earth that needs it because it makes money every day.

00:29:25.500 I cannot mention that without literally gagging.

00:29:31.500 I apologize.

00:29:33.240 But there is something so repulsive about that.

00:29:38.780 Talk about bugs.

00:29:39.760 Why do they want us to eat bugs?

00:29:41.820 Well, bugs, this has been going on now for decades.

00:29:44.540 The UN Agriculture Report.

00:29:46.240 Back when I worked in the United States Senate Environment Committee,

00:29:49.640 they issued a report in 2007 in the United Nations saying that cow emissions, i.e. methane,

00:29:54.860 were more damaging to the earth than the entire transportation sector, planes, trains, automobiles combined.

00:30:01.460 So they've had cows and meat eating in their target for decades.

00:30:05.660 We've had U.K. climate advisors say that we want to make meat rare and expensive.

00:30:11.140 We've had the former U.N. climate chief, Christina Figuere,

00:30:13.700 say we wanted to basically turn meat eaters the way we used to do smokers

00:30:17.120 in their own small, uncomfortable section in restaurants.

00:30:20.200 That's how it started.

00:30:21.080 Then they've come out with even more reports basically calling for an end to meat eating in the industrialized West.

00:30:29.380 What Bill Gates, as you mentioned, stated goal is to get Europe, United States, New Zealand, Australia, Canada,

00:30:35.400 and all Western nations off of eating livestock-grown animal meat.

00:30:39.800 His stated goal is to have us eat synthetic, fake meat grown from stem cells from a cow or a lamb or sheep

00:30:47.580 and put into a steel vat in a laboratory and then add all sorts of additives, antibiotics thrown in,

00:30:54.940 and then it comes out to a puree paste.

00:30:57.040 And I'm not making this part up.

00:30:58.500 You then print it up on a 3-D printer, several kilograms an hour,

00:31:02.480 and you can have your steak dinner, in quotes.

00:31:05.580 I mean, still, it is actually a form of meat.

00:31:08.000 It's derived from the animal, so it's not a veggie burger.

00:31:11.600 But that's what they want.

00:31:12.680 That's his stated goal.

00:31:13.640 And he'll have huge sway in agricultural policy to make that happen.

00:31:17.560 Yeah, I've seen images of that 3-D printer printing lab-grown meat.

00:31:23.000 I just, and I'm sorry I'm looking nauseous.

00:31:25.460 I just don't have the stomach to even talk about this, let alone to eat it.

00:31:29.420 You know, I can't help but juxtapose this with an image from China.

00:31:33.180 Maybe you saw this.

00:31:34.460 It's the most astonishing thing I've seen.

00:31:37.640 Two urban skyscrapers, like in the city, skyscrapers, well, not quite skyscrapers,

00:31:44.260 multi-story buildings, pig farms, in the city, in towers, like story after story after story.

00:31:51.920 I can only imagine the smell of that neighborhood.

00:31:55.360 Just, you know, that would never be stopped.

00:31:58.760 That's a diabolical kind of farming to begin with, I think.

00:32:01.700 That truly is a cruelty to animal moment.

00:32:04.540 China is going ahead with all the coal energy it wants.

00:32:07.720 China is building skyscrapers for pig farms.

00:32:11.480 I don't think they're pushing bugs on people.

00:32:13.900 It's only the luxurious, decadent West and people like Soros and Gates that are pushing bugs.

00:32:18.760 I don't think George Soros has ever had a bug in his life.

00:32:23.560 I think he eats the finest steaks and food he likes.

00:32:26.680 I think this is only just for the little people.

00:32:29.120 They're going to, they're going to, they're taking on air travel.

00:32:33.540 They're really hyping up the economic cost of air travel.

00:32:37.120 They want it to be an elite thing again, only for true jet setters.

00:32:41.100 The ordinary folks can't see the world.

00:32:43.200 The idea of a young person being able to take a cheap flight to Spain or Italy and see the world,

00:32:48.220 I think they want to end that.

00:32:50.140 I think they truly see a stratified society with the elite and then the grubby peasants below. 0.98

00:32:58.900 I think it's a dystopian future.

00:33:00.600 They're actually working towards, it really is Bond villain type stuff.

00:33:05.660 It is.

00:33:05.960 I mean, throughout history, throughout civilizations, the ruling class elites have always tried to invent reasons

00:33:11.940 why the rest of us couldn't be free, why we had to be managed, why we had to give up our liberties.

00:33:16.720 Today's answer is climate change.

00:33:20.120 Yesterday's answer was COVID, a virus.

00:33:22.580 The previous answer to that was terrorism.

00:33:25.040 And you can go on and on throughout history.

00:33:26.680 And this is where they get into these emergency declarations, where they bypass democracy.

00:33:30.220 But what's happening in particular with the food industry right now, they were just out yesterday.

00:33:36.960 I don't know if you saw this, Ezra, but 258 million people worldwide face food insecurity now,

00:33:42.520 according to the United Nations.

00:33:44.040 And they're blaming it on, drumroll please, climate change.

00:33:48.360 And what they're saying is that climate shock because of the bad weather, which isn't increasing on any time scale,

00:33:54.560 hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, droughts, wildfires,

00:33:56.140 not increasing according to even the UN itself.

00:33:59.360 But what they're claiming is because of these food shortages,

00:34:02.920 this is why we need to invest in the synthetic meat.

00:34:05.580 And this is why we need to turn to insect eating, also because insect eating is earth friendly.

00:34:11.640 And the reason that what's significant about the Switzerland story today about they're actually targeting school kids to eat bugs.

00:34:20.160 They did the same thing in Australia, the same thing in other parts of Europe,

00:34:23.100 because they're getting kids to go home and pester their parents.

00:34:26.460 They're using kids as part of a psychological operation to normalize insect eating.

00:34:31.960 This is their goal.

00:34:32.860 World economic forum is behind this.

00:34:34.340 United Nations is behind this.

00:34:35.800 Hollywood celebrities are behind it.

00:34:37.700 The corporate media is behind it.

00:34:39.460 CNN has been hyping, I think, cockroach milk and other things.

00:34:43.140 I mean, they are in this to win, to make this happen.

00:34:47.320 And one of the things you need to do, you need to collapse plentiful food.

00:34:50.740 And they are very far from COVID and to all the climate policies.

00:34:55.180 They are on their way fully to make that happen.

00:34:57.580 The same way they're creating car shortages, they're creating food shortages.

00:35:00.480 They're also creating energy shortages.

00:35:02.420 This is what they do.

00:35:03.580 And they do it masterfully because they own the levers of power.

00:35:07.860 Yeah.

00:35:08.460 You know, I was in a pet store the other day and pet food is now full of insect protein.

00:35:14.420 I think they're trying to normalize it.

00:35:15.820 They're trying to artificially build a market for it and to say, hey, it's been in your pet food for years.

00:35:21.480 Hey, you've been eating it all this time.

00:35:23.380 You just didn't know it.

00:35:24.860 You know, I was talking to James Lindsay a month ago and I asked him about certain instinctive reactions to things.

00:35:32.820 I mean, I see it in my pet.

00:35:34.000 Speaking of pet stores, how does my dog know certain things?

00:35:38.760 Because it wasn't taught that by other dogs.

00:35:40.920 There's obviously instincts, just like humans have instincts.

00:35:44.760 And I think there's an instinctive revulsion to eating bugs that must come from tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands since time immemorial.

00:35:53.500 It's a it would be a Darwinian trait that if you ate bugs and got sick, you would die off if you didn't need bugs.

00:36:01.360 And so just like I think there is something visceral.

00:36:04.540 The reason I gag when I see that footage of Bill Gates drinking poop water.

00:36:10.640 Why do I gag?

00:36:12.380 Because there's something I think that goes back millennia.

00:36:16.500 Yes.

00:36:17.080 That that's Mother Nature or God or Darwin or whatever you ascribe to humans are hardwired to react to react that way.

00:36:26.880 That's your body or nature saying don't drink sewage.

00:36:30.500 You will get sick.

00:36:31.900 Don't eat bugs.

00:36:33.420 You will get sick.

00:36:35.040 We have a revulsion to certain things.

00:36:37.000 It's not even learned.

00:36:38.440 It is in our essence.

00:36:41.120 And these people are trying to do this.

00:36:43.480 Let me stretch this analogy a little further.

00:36:46.000 I was thinking about this the other day, brutalist architecture, the ugliest architecture engineered to be ugly.

00:36:52.740 And I was thinking about that.

00:36:53.720 Brutalist architecture usually, in my observation, is in government institutions, universities, hospitals, government offices.

00:37:00.920 I've never seen, other than in North Korea, a brutalist hotel that you actually want to attract people to. 0.66

00:37:08.680 Hey, guys, come spend a lovely vacation in this architecturally oppressive, horrible prison like setting.

00:37:16.120 And to me, that's proof that people hate brutalism because if it actually appealed to people, every five star hotel would be this atrocious prison like thing.

00:37:26.780 That's proof that when when capitalism and people voting with their dollars is at issue, people like beauty.

00:37:33.240 And I say it's the case here, too.

00:37:36.280 If people naturally, instinctively were attracted to bugs, were attracted to this kind of living, they would be there already.

00:37:44.820 And that's why I say again, these people at the top of the pyramid, they know this is anti-human and unhuman.

00:37:53.280 They know it.

00:37:54.620 They know people like don't don't like being cold in the winter.

00:37:58.380 They know people don't like being immobile.

00:38:01.120 They know people don't like eating bugs.

00:38:03.200 And yet they do it to us and they're selling it to us as a plus.

00:38:06.840 I find this the most terrifying of all.

00:38:09.500 I find it very dystopian.

00:38:12.000 And yet they just don't stop.

00:38:13.680 Last word to you, Mark.

00:38:15.100 Well, yeah.

00:38:15.880 And the only way they really can do it, they have to create the food shortage, which then makes you soften you up to more likely to consider eating bugs.

00:38:23.060 They're already starting, as they did with climate education, they're targeting the youth.

00:38:28.260 And that's who they're going after.

00:38:29.480 Interestingly enough, there have been animal rights activists pushing back on the bug eating, saying that bugs can feel pain.

00:38:35.500 There's a whole movement now to basically say, what about bug rights?

00:38:38.320 Remember, if you follow all their logic consistently, how can we eat bugs but not an animal?

00:38:44.480 How are bugs different?

00:38:45.860 You're supposed to all be equal with the animal world.

00:38:47.820 They don't want humans to be elevated.

00:38:49.780 So this is where we are.

00:38:51.060 And one other thing on bugs, if you go back through history, it's the poorer subsistence cultures that eat bugs. 0.97

00:38:57.320 But once they get wealthier, the practice is largely abandoned except for a very small percentage.

00:39:02.340 And that's what people don't realize.

00:39:03.780 Yeah, a lot of people eat bugs because they had to, not because they would choose to.

00:39:07.900 And that's what they're trying to recreate.

00:39:09.900 These policies are going to create shortages.

00:39:12.160 That's a great point.

00:39:13.380 You know, I think even of Jewish cuisine, you know, traditionally Jewish cuisine, it's actually poor people food. 1.00

00:39:20.620 You know, you're in Europe and you have to eat like gefilte fish or these are things you probably don't even know about, Mark.

00:39:26.260 But as a Jewish person, I know about gefilte. 0.99

00:39:28.440 It's the worst fish ground up so you don't even recognize it.

00:39:32.320 And then you put spicy horseradish so you can stomach it.

00:39:35.700 That is not a delicacy.

00:39:37.420 That's what peasants ate because they were poor and they had to make do with like gross leftovers. 0.99

00:39:44.000 You know, I'm not going to I can talk about that because I'm Jewish myself.

00:39:46.600 But there's a certain kind of Chinese food that is basically the worst cuts of meat, the worst.

00:39:51.760 It's what you eat when you are poor, but you need calories.

00:39:55.300 I mean, we all know that in North Korea, that horrific prison country, they boiled leather, they ate grass, anything to live. 0.94

00:40:03.740 So if that's your argument, well, people will be needing these crappy foods.

00:40:07.060 Yeah.

00:40:07.420 Yeah, out of desperation to survive.

00:40:08.860 And they want people to stay in that nasty, brutish state of poverty.

00:40:16.940 I find this stuff really eerie.

00:40:18.660 And the fact that this was proposed in the United Kingdom as part of an official platform, they are not going to relent, are they?

00:40:25.660 They're not going to relent.

00:40:26.940 They're not.

00:40:27.400 This is about literally an agenda that wants to control every aspect of human endeavor, our freedom of movement, our food, our energy, our free speech.

00:40:37.880 And our means of exchange and currency.

00:40:41.040 They are they are out.

00:40:42.740 When I say they, I mean, I'm talking about United Nations, World Health.

00:40:46.420 I'm talking about the World Economic Forum.

00:40:48.860 They are out to literally mastermind our entire society from above using these self-created crisis, shortages of energy, food, transportation.

00:40:58.540 And they're going to force us into desperate times.

00:41:01.720 And that's they're really in COVID was just the ticket to do that.

00:41:04.800 And that's how far we've come.

00:41:06.360 And now, of course, the U.N. is blaming climate change for coming food shortages, particularly in the developing world.

00:41:12.520 Yeah, yeah, that's just crazy.

00:41:14.100 Mark, great to see you again.

00:41:15.000 Thanks for ringing the alarm bell.

00:41:16.160 We love the website, Climatedepot.com.

00:41:19.460 It's not just climate, though.

00:41:21.140 Climate is the excuse for so many terrible things, energy, food, and everything.

00:41:24.800 Take care, my friend.

00:41:25.460 Keep up the fight.

00:41:26.580 Thank you, Ezra.

00:41:27.260 I appreciate it.

00:41:27.820 All right.

00:41:28.080 There you have it.

00:41:28.560 Mark Morano of Climatedepot.com.

00:41:30.200 Stay with us more ahead.

00:41:31.020 Hey, welcome back.

00:41:43.680 Your Letters to Me.

00:41:44.980 Someone with the nickname O-Me said,

00:41:46.860 If Bill C-11 and the rest should become law, then it must be applied against Trudeau and those who publicly broadcasted him shamelessly insulting Canadians who decided not to take the mRNA injection by calling them misogynist, racist, and questioning if they should be even tolerated.

00:42:01.340 But this call of not tolerating a group of people is a hate crime and must be treated as such.

00:42:06.720 Well, don't you know that hate crimes are in the eyes of the beholder and they will only be applied against the enemies of the regime?

00:42:17.820 And that's why I say to people who say, well, we should arrest Trudeau for treason or whatever.

00:42:21.340 And I say, no, don't you understand?

00:42:22.880 If you criminalize something in the hopes you're going to get Trudeau, don't you know that they will use that law against you first?

00:42:29.580 Censorship is a, it's a, free speech is a tough thing because you have to give it to your opponents if you want it for yourself.

00:42:37.500 Everyone is for free speech for themselves.

00:42:40.060 Can you give free speech to your opponent to say things that you hate to hear?

00:42:45.080 You have to because otherwise you'll set the precedent of values against you.

00:42:51.060 Calvin A says, hey, Ezra, in the dying moments of your show, you referenced Western provinces separating.

00:42:57.480 I agree with you.

00:42:58.160 I'm not sure if you know, but B.C. already voted to secede from the Dominion.

00:43:02.220 On August 30, 1878, a motion passed third reading and B.C.'s legislator did do exactly that.

00:43:07.300 The petition was sent on to Queen Victoria, but she refused to receive it, so it died.

00:43:12.100 Its genesis came as a result of the delay on building the railroad.

00:43:15.520 And after the petition was ignored, Canada eventually finished the railway.

00:43:18.980 That said, the petition was never rescinded by the B.C. legislature.

00:43:22.160 I sent all the info and proof on to Drea and Sheila about a year ago, and I appreciate that Drea responded to me.

00:43:28.640 Our independent streak is not bound only to Alberta and Saskatchewan.

00:43:31.820 Well, that's a very interesting story that I had not heard today.

00:43:34.720 And, of course, there is a great independent spirit in B.C. and a lot of colorful characters.

00:43:40.220 One of the funnest names in politics I've ever heard was, I believe, he was a premier of B.C. called Amor de Cosmos, which you don't have to know Latin.

00:43:49.060 It means lover of the cosmos, lover of the universe.

00:43:52.940 Just there's always been a dissident streak, a contrarian streak, an independent streak.

00:43:57.920 And, yeah, the railway was built to hold this country together, and its delay, I'm sure, was a problem.

00:44:03.440 I don't know what the sentiment is today.

00:44:05.840 It's hard to say there's so much wokeness in Vancouver.

00:44:08.320 I think that clouds out all the rest.

00:44:10.820 Well, that's our show for today.

00:44:12.100 By the way, what do you think those CBC documents say?

00:44:15.080 You can see them at rebelnews.com.

00:44:18.180 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, to you at home, good night.

00:44:22.940 And keep fighting for freedom.

00:44:27.920 We'll be right back.
