00:02:38.000Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand on what promises to be an epochal moment of transition and change.
00:02:46.000Endless apocalypse-o seems to be all around us, doesn't it?
00:02:50.000The rather sad story of that tumbling bridge in Baltimore.
00:02:55.000Some people thinking that even that is a false flag event.
00:02:58.000So little trust these days in our institutions.
00:03:01.000When we get off YouTube, we'll be talking about The Diddy story and offering some cultural reflections on that.
00:03:08.000And we're looking at the peculiar movements in the spaces around war reporting.
00:03:15.000That means that Alex Jones is now to the left of the Democrat Party.
00:03:19.000That Candace Owens can no longer be part of a cadre of, let's call them alt-right or right-wing, I don't know what language to use anymore, but certainly anti-establishment voices.
00:03:30.000We're going to be talking about all those changes.
00:03:32.000For the first 15, Guys, we are gonna be on a variety of platforms reaching out to you.
00:03:44.000Believers in real change and that real change is going to involve transition at the level of the heart and of the head and of the family and the community and of your loved ones, you as an individual.
00:03:55.000I'm talking to you, to Tashley Ten and Frank Dick.
00:03:58.000All of you guys We're talking to you, our awakened wonders that are in the stream right now, like Vivian Carlo and Ashdav and Tamara Spencer, real human beings, real lives, the subjective experience of living in this world now, fraught and torn apart by war where we know we're continually lied to, that various globalist interests are able to coordinate and manipulate news media.
00:04:20.000We've got some fantastic stories for you coming up.
00:04:24.000But we're going to be looking at some, let's just start with some regular normal news and tell you frankly that if you become an Awakened Wonder you get some great content.
00:04:32.000We've done a brilliant chemtrail video that you're going to love where we talk about that conspiracy theory but conspiracy theories more broadly and even demonstrable empirical information from within giant industries within our country that shows you the nature of corruption are welcome.
00:06:18.000But you also want to hear today what I consider to be the most significant news today.
00:06:23.000That Julian Assange's case is sort of being booted around and somewhat The results of which and the outcomes are being placed in the hands of Assange's enemies.
00:06:32.000We're going to be covering that in some detail in a minute.
00:06:42.000Truckers, farmers, working people of the world uniting in the Netherlands, in Germany, in Sri Lanka, in India, across the world.
00:06:49.000People are starting to realise, wait a minute, we can't trust the globalist elite.
00:06:53.000Wait a minute, how are they going to feed themselves without no food to eat?
00:06:58.000Well, presumably with lab-grown meats and extraordinary concoctions in laboratories, as well as those delicious and crunchy bugs that are available now.
00:07:11.000The British farmers are on board their opposing globalism.
00:07:15.000Let's have a look at how the legacy media are reporting on this story about an uprising at the heart of our nation, and surely the farmers are the heart of any nation.
00:07:25.000They brought over a hundred tractors to central London.
00:07:29.000One by one they left in convoy, British flags flying high.
00:07:33.000Has it caused a lot of disruption, Amelia?
00:08:10.000It's extraordinary the lengths that the globalist establishment will go to to discredit this uprising when legitimate, ordinary people across the globe unite and defy globalist power.
00:08:25.000We can't say that globalist centralised edicts are destabilising their industry and making it impossible for them to make an honest living.
00:08:52.000And don't you dare freeze-frame it on that moment I have my hat off and my hat hair.
00:08:56.000Also, this sweet little son of a gun's available right now if you want it, and every single penny we get, we use to support people suffering from addiction and mental health issues right into treatment.
00:09:07.000We are determined to make this world a better place, and thank God, and thank you, we can do it together.
00:09:13.000Let's carry on with this little piece of propaganda.
00:09:34.000They're rising up from the soil like their own crops.
00:09:37.000And turning against us, people that have the audacity to grow food, demanding that Britain doesn't change its policy in accordance with globalists that want to make the fuel they use expensive, probably make the fertilizers they use defunct, probably make it impossible for them to compete because imported food is cheaper somehow.
00:09:56.000I don't know what methods they're using yet.
00:09:58.000All I know is Bill Gates is buying a hell of a lot of farmland.
00:10:01.000They seem to have an agenda, and that agenda seems to involve getting control of food.
00:10:06.000Because if everyone's very, very hungry, everyone's gonna be a hell of a lot more compliant.
00:11:44.000She's just describing the route and the point of approach.
00:11:47.000They're going to go this away, then that away.
00:11:50.000Some of them have got British flags on with the suggestion that that probably means they're racist, even though they are in Britain and they are British farmers.
00:12:00.000Let's have a look at what the unions, or if not unions, movement that's coordinating The British component of what appears to be a global farming movement, which I might offer we should get behind.
00:12:11.000Wouldn't it be wonderful, as Vandana Shiva says, if we supported the farmers in our community, that we empowered them, that we made it possible for them to earn a decent living, that we were able to minimize the amount of transportation, that we ate food grown near us, grown ethically and beautifully and profitably for the people that are doing the graft, that are getting up and doing the work.
00:12:32.000People that do proper jobs, that shower before work and after work, instead of creating a world that's just there for a managerial class and there for elites to exploit us and turn this into a prison planet where we just imbibe and sap down the vile pap and filth they feed to us every day in propagandist units like this.
00:12:50.000Let's see what the farmers are saying for themselves.
00:12:54.000Organisers Save British Farming and Fairness for Farmers of Kent said cheap food imports and unsupportive policies were putting UK food security at risk.
00:13:03.000The government said it put farming at the heart of British trade.
00:13:21.000West Sussex, he told the BBC, who as you know are a state-funded, ultimately propagandist unit who we all used to adore but now we know what they are for.
00:14:20.000We're seeing So many whys flowing through that sweet stream, yeah, so they can just feed us the bugs.
00:14:26.000You know it, you got it, like in Haiti.
00:14:28.000Haiti, excuse me, crushing them farmers.
00:14:30.000Yeah, you know that, how when Bill Clinton was president of the United States, he scrapped tariffs that made it possible for Haiti to continue with their own rice agriculture.
00:14:40.000He made it necessary to import rice from, where was it again?
00:14:43.000Arkansas, where he used to be governor.
00:14:46.000And then the Clinton Foundation went over to Haiti and introduced a bunch of policies that were Basically, not policies, a bunch of measures that were useless.
00:14:56.000They'll pick your pocket while telling you they're giving you a leg massage.
00:14:59.000That's the way they roll, these globalists!
00:15:02.000We can't see it getting any better, says this farmer.
00:15:04.000Yields have plateaued, prices are dismal, our costs for raw materials are horrendous, and the regulations we have every day are mind-bogglingly explosive.
00:15:12.000Mr Rainer said the environmental focus of the government's farm payment scheme which replaced EU subsidies was coming at the expense of domestic food production while cheap imports were being produced to a lower standard.
00:15:42.000We need to oppose this globalist agenda right now, seriously, and forever.
00:15:47.000Oh, we're a little bit hungry and we're a little bit compliant and we're waiting for the manna in the form of some sort of lab-produced meat to drop from the black hawks from the sky as they create hell on earth and ask us to say thank you for it.
00:16:02.000We've been farming for 500 years and the government now has a scheme where They will pay us more money to grow wildflowers than to grow food.
00:16:32.000Like many of the fertilizer indictments and edicts, for example, are around various ingredients and elements of fertilizers, aren't they?
00:16:42.000And yet they have an industry that requires that food be flown around the world, even on the subject of veganism, a subject close to my own heart.
00:16:49.000We can't pretend that shipping avocados left and right and sending almond milk all over the world Is good for the planet.
00:16:55.000What you want is localised economies, empowered farmers.
00:16:58.000The exact opposite of everything that's happening now is exactly what should be happening.
00:17:27.000Labour stalwarts are starting to reject now because they've recognised it's just a globalist party,
00:17:32.000essentially another war party, just another crush the ordinary people party.
00:17:36.000We've got to start supporting the independence. We've got to start rising up and taking control,
00:17:39.000haven't we? I don't mean in any criminal way, of course I don't, that's obvious.
00:17:43.000I mean mass disobedience, mass awakening. Surely that's what these farmers require right now.
00:17:47.000We've got to have food for our own resources.
00:17:50.000We've got to produce healthy, good food.
00:17:51.000I know Vandana Shiva will be right behind that.
00:17:54.000In England, campaigners say government agricultural policy and its environmental land management farm payment scheme, together with its weak trade deals, non-existent import controls and misleading labelling, have all served to undermine the farming business.
00:18:07.000They say that threatens the country's ability to produce enough food to feed its own population, leaving our food security in peril.
00:18:13.000We need a radical change of policy and an urgent exit from these appalling trade deals which will decimate British food.
00:18:18.000I couldn't agree more heartily, could you?
00:20:16.000It just sort of shows you really how fragile the world is, even the structures that you presume permanent.
00:20:21.000I imagine the residents of that county or those counties crossing that bridge without thought regularly now discovering that its illusion of permanence has been smashed by a clumsy ship.
00:20:33.000Yes, the drunk cargo pilot is what people, obviously you can't make claims like that, or you lot can and you're on board.
00:22:17.000It's such a Crazy cluster, you know, I don't want to swear while we're still over there on YouTube or anywhere really.
00:22:24.000I just want to say that isn't extraordinary now that there is so little trust and legitimately so and that when we see a story like this one we straight away think well is it that just a boat hit it?
00:22:44.000But one thing we can tell you with a degree of certainty is if you report honestly and openly about the activities, particularly the clandestine ones of powerful institutions and nations, You will face consequences.
00:22:56.000Julian Assange has been told just today that any decision to allow him a hearing will be delayed and fundamentally, it seems, placed in the hands of the judicial forces that want to charge him with espionage.
00:23:10.000Essentially, we're being told that what's gonna... Good on you for not swearing, thanks guys.
00:23:14.000Essentially, we are being told that That it's in the hands of the American judiciary now, as long as they can offer assurances that he won't face the death penalty and that he will have the right to a fair trial, then he will be extradited.
00:23:28.000Stella Assange is certainly pretty furious and upset about this verdict.
00:23:49.000Yet another abhorrent decision today by the British judiciary, violating the principle of due process in the continuing political show trial of Julian Assange.
00:23:57.000Despite recognising that the US is committed to denying Assange the most basic of free speech rights, that is, discriminating against him on the basis of his nationality as a non-US citizen, and that he's under real threat of the death penalty in the US penal system, the UK appeal court is still not prepared to free him.
00:24:13.000Instead he's seeking yet more assurances from the U.S.
00:24:16.000about Assange's treatment should he be extradited and it is of course the U.S.
00:24:21.000that he has beyond embarrassed but exposed with his reporting,
00:24:26.000which revealed significant war crimes as well as one story that involves the Clintons
00:24:30.000that you're going to love and we'll be talking about that in just a matter of seconds.
00:25:14.000Now let's have a look at how the legacy media in the form of our own but once beloved BBC presents this.
00:25:22.000You'll note that there's a curiously upbeat tone that's at odds with Stella Assange's reaction immediately after hearing this sort of quasi Let's have a look at State Instruments and Propaganda Unit, BBC, state funded by your taxes if you're British and how they manage this piece of propaganda and tell you that your freedom is not your business.
00:25:45.000So more breaking news, this time the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been given permission by a British court to appeal against his extradition to the US.
00:25:56.000The information and the decision has essentially been given to the US.
00:26:02.000They just have to say, no, no, no, he's not in danger of death and he will be given a free trial and then he will be extradited, although there will be a review and an opportunity for him to submit more evidence.
00:26:26.000They have upheld, as I say, three counts of his appeal, which include him receiving essentially the ability to rely on the First Amendment, which is available to US citizens, i.e.
00:26:41.000So the fact that he isn't an American, I think there's assurance being now sought that he will indeed enjoy those freedoms that an American citizen would enjoy.
00:27:16.000And also to make sure that the death penalty is not imposed.
00:27:20.000Now those assurances are now being sought from the US authorities.
00:27:23.000They've got three weeks to come back with those assurances and then there'll be another hearing on the 20th of May.
00:27:29.000So forgive me, it is all rather complicated.
00:27:32.000Almost as if we're trying to make it complicated to conceal the fact that the man who's done nothing wrong and who hasn't had a trial has been in prison for five years now.
00:27:40.000I wonder what it was, though, exactly, that Julian Assange said that's made powerful people sew up.
00:27:47.000a look. During the staunch, ISIS and the Clinton Foundation are both funded by Saudi Arabia
00:28:41.000Five years into this case, the United States has managed to show the court that their case remains an attack on press freedom, an attack on Julian's life.
00:28:53.000Julian is just a few days away from the fifth anniversary of his arrest and imprisonment in Belmarsh prison.
00:29:02.000He has been in Belmarsh for five years without conviction and the charges against him are
00:29:09.000to punish him for publishing the truth, for publishing evidence of the war crimes committed
00:29:17.000by the country that is trying to extradite him. Doesn't seem like much justice there and Stella
00:29:23.000Assange doesn't seem to be clicking our heels and whooping for joy in quite the way that the BBC
00:29:28.000seem to suggest that people interested in freedom, free press, the ability to speak freely and in
00:29:35.000particular the ability to criticize the powerful.
00:29:38.000Values that we should care about, mate.
00:30:59.000If you answer that on, we'll go, if you, we'll take one answer in the Awake and Wonder chat and one answer in the Rumble chat and we'll reveal the answers and, you know, give you a hat.
00:31:08.000If you, you know, why wouldn't you want a hat?
00:31:28.000You can get this sweatshirt as well, it's pretty bloody good.
00:31:30.000Um, okay, so listen to this, this is, there's not, so there's not only an attempt, yeah, Clinton, well done, well done, just pick one of the people that say Clinton and you're alright, well done, everybody.
00:31:38.000Um, now, listen, so, it's pretty clear the legacy media and the globalist establishment want to destroy Donald Trump.
00:31:45.000A lot of you love Donald Trump, some people have concerns about Donald Trump also.
00:31:49.000Me, you know what I want, power moved away from the establishment, placed directly in your hands.
00:31:54.000What the Democrat party are now turning their attention to is destroying also third party candidates.
00:32:02.000Listen, let's have a look at this story.
00:32:05.000So third party candidates of course mean independent candidates because independent candidates could make a significant difference when it comes to states like Michigan, a swing state where Biden is already unpopular and guess who is popular?
00:32:35.000All right, that's what you lot are going to be saying.
00:32:36.000And I tell you what, if you want someone that you agree with on 100% of issues, I don't know where we're going to go.
00:32:41.000We're going to start having to think about alliances, alliances, alliances, because otherwise we are not going to topple this globalist machine.
00:32:49.000Let's have a... Here's a still on that.
00:32:52.000Democrats prepare aggressive counter to third party threats.
00:32:55.000We're going to get into that story in a minute.
00:32:56.000But first, let's look at Jen Psaki coating off, criticizing and attacking Bobby Kennedy, preparing you to not like Bobby Kennedy and even trying to kind of, I would say, de-name him, un-name him, dead-name him.
00:33:10.000They're trying to make Kennedy a negative brand.
00:33:13.000But that ain't easy in the United States of America, where two prominent Kennedys have been murdered for the crime of having principles by Yeah, it was that Lee Harvey Oswald, but the bullet it just
00:33:23.000hmm and science and all sorts of other things Right, I will say Mika. I was nodding along as Tom was just
00:33:29.000talking. I think this is the biggest challenge there There is unquestionably Trump has a broad support in his
00:33:35.000base as we've just been discussing and we've seen that play out in the primary
00:33:39.000That's the only piece though. We know at this point He has problems among independents and problems with an
00:33:44.000expanded electorate But these third party candidates are huge huge huge problem
00:33:48.000and there's a number of them you they wouldn't be a huge problem if you
00:33:51.000Care about democracy with a Like, if you cared about representative democracy or constitutional republic, call it what you want to call it, but what I'm saying is, is the people determining who they are governed by and how, and that government becomes a position of service rather than a position of exploitation of power.
00:34:06.000You wouldn't have Jen Psaki just unthinkingly going, this is a real problem, this is a real threat.
00:34:10.000In fact, Do you not feel, at this point, that what the legacy media and the establishment are saying is, you can't vote for Donald Trump for all of these reasons, cue hysteria and mania.
00:34:19.000You can't vote for Bobby Kennedy because of all these reasons.
00:34:23.000What are you going to say about Cornel West?
00:34:25.000Well, he looks like he needs a haircut.
00:34:27.000I mean, what's the problem with all of them?
00:35:29.000Like those two fellas the CIA potentially murdered.
00:35:31.000Yeah, sure, the name recognition might have some resonance and indeed provide a little bit of pedigree, but America is sick and tired, you tell me, you're Americans, of the corruption The uniparty, the systemic abuse of ordinary people, the inability to get any traction unless it's in a tractor, unless you're an agricultural hero who's willing to stand up to the establishment by driving through the streets and then getting called racist inevitably.
00:36:17.000Well, we might have to do some propaganda right now.
00:36:19.000Just because you might think that Bobby Kennedy is a principled man who's good at pull-ups, let me tell you some other information.
00:36:25.000He's been questioning why suddenly autism rates have been skyrocketing.
00:36:30.000He's been wondering why Pfizer and Moderna are not being correctly investigated for adverse events.
00:36:36.000He's been inquiring into why we're in a state of perpetual war.
00:36:40.000And that makes him a conspiracy theorist.
00:36:43.000So this is something, there is an aggressive effort that the campaign has been working with the Democratic National Committee on to run on this, but it needs to be broad, people need to be shouting it from the rooftops, because this is one of the biggest threats to Joe Biden being re-elected, is these third-party candidates.
00:37:00.000If you look at- You shouldn't even care, should you?
00:37:01.000You shouldn't even care who gets elected, you just want what's best for America.
00:37:04.000You should go, I don't know, who's going to be best for America?
00:37:07.000I don't think they've thought this through at all, have they?
00:37:09.000Have they actually examined it and gone, no, Look, I know you're worried about Joe Biden, but you see him when he has them ice creams.
00:38:21.000Your heart is your own, and as I've seen you say in there, Christ is King.
00:38:25.000You can love whoever you want to love, you can be whoever you want to be, you deserve the right to be absolutely free.
00:38:31.000One thing's for sure, Michigan remains a significant state in the presidential election of November 2024, and in the primary, dear old Joe Biden, God love him, that ice cream licking adorable fella, Got 100,000 uncommitted votes.
00:38:46.000Just to remind you, 100,000 people voted uncommitted in the Michigan Democratic primary to send a message to President Biden over his, they say in this report, unconditional support for Israel.
00:38:55.000Indeed many people spoke to at the time said precisely that.
00:38:59.000So let's have a look what it says about the threat from third parties.
00:39:04.000An army of lawyers aims to challenge the steadily advancing ballot access efforts of independent candidates who Democrats fear could peel votes away in swing states.
00:39:12.000The same thing could happen in our country, in the UK, with the rise of figures from the left and right.
00:39:18.000On the traditional left, you would have to say, George Galloway, although he now denies that label, has done incredible work by becoming the MP for Rochdale, somewhat on an anti-war ticket, but also on a pro-worker ticket.
00:39:32.000Believe me, if we are to break through this globalist establishment elite, we're going to have to start looking at some different alliances.
00:39:39.000We're going to have to start debugging the programming.
00:39:42.000Every time you have an instinctive reaction to someone's name, just check, hold on a minute, have I been programmed?
00:39:53.000Independent candidates, forming new alliances, systemic change to the way that we vote, and importantly, the way that votes are counted, is the future if we are to have one.
00:40:02.000The Democratic Party increasingly alarmed by the potential for third-party candidates to swing the election to former President Donald J. Trump.
00:40:10.000has put together a new team of lawyers.
00:40:14.000Lawyers aimed at tracking the threat, especially in key battleground states.
00:40:17.000The effort comes as challenges including the independent candidates Robert F Kennedy, boo, and Cornel West, boo, plus groups like No Labels, boo, and the Green Party, boo, have ramped up their push to qualify for state ballots ahead of critical deadlines in the spring and summer.
00:40:32.000I don't want choices and options and freedom.
00:40:35.000What I want is to be told who to vote for, and to be told I can only vote for one person, and then to vote for that person in spite of the evidence of my own eyes and deep, deep intuition.
00:40:45.000The legal offensive will be aided by a communications team, you better believe it, dedicated to countering candidates who Democrats fear could play spoiler to dear old sausagey himself, Joe Biden.
00:40:56.000It amounts to a kind of legal whack-a-mole, a state-by-state counterinsurgency.
00:40:59.000It shouldn't be regarded as an insurgency, should it?

00:43:48.000You'll have seen that Alex Jones has begun to refer to events in Gaza as mass genocide.
00:43:55.000You will have noticed that the Daily Wire has severed ties with Candace Owens.
00:43:59.000We've got to speak to her soon, haven't we?
00:44:00.000Are we at the point where figures like Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, who's been against war from the get-go, and Candace Owens are to the left using a conventional language?
00:44:21.000Is it extraordinary to acknowledge that these figures are more anti-war than the Biden administration who are trying to manoeuvre their way through this set of complex conflicts without ever acknowledging what they're truly doing?
00:44:59.000Alex Jones has referred to the military activity in Gaza as genocide.
00:45:10.000The Daily Wire have severed their ties with Candace Owens over the issue of Israel's policies in that region.
00:45:18.000Instagram are now censoring political content without telling anyone why, and TikTok appears to be on the verge of being banned.
00:45:26.000Some say precisely because it allows war to be reported on in ways that would otherwise be censored by other platforms.
00:45:33.000So, with figures like Alex Jones and Candace Owens now to the left of the Biden administration, what is the nature of our political landscape today?
00:45:45.000It's surprising to hear Alex Jones refer to events in Gaza as a genocide.
00:45:50.000Not because of that description, but because of who is offering it.
00:45:53.000It's surprising to see formerly coalescent spaces on the right now fracturing again.
00:45:59.000I'm referring to Candace Owens being dispatched from or maybe leaving the Daily Wire.
00:46:04.000So the right, where there were new alliances, is Splintering in surprising ways and we are seeing censorship taking unusual new forms on a global level.
00:46:14.000You're aware because we've reported extensively and because you are awakening that censorship laws are being passed all across the world.
00:46:20.000Dissenting voices are being crushed everywhere but now Instagram have changed their setting so that political content will not appear in your feed unless you go into your phone and specifically ask for it.
00:46:30.000Many people believe that the reason that TikTok is under attack is not because the Biden administration believe that the Chinese state will induce some sort of cyber propaganda upon the minds of Americans, but precisely because it's a space where issues in Palestine are reported on in a manner that's difficult to control and censor.
00:46:48.000So while we are escalating towards ever greater conflagration on the global stage, What does it mean when voices like Alex Jones are to the left of Joe Biden?
00:46:58.000When former alliances like that between the Daily Wire and Candace Owens are splintering?
00:47:04.000What is this new political landscape that's emerging and how do we navigate it in order to bring about peace and stop the slaughter of innocent people?
00:47:13.000Particularly if one component of that is that the military-industrial complex are profiting from it because the Biden administration continues to sell arms in a particular That's a peculiar way to Israel to ensure that it doesn't have to go via Congress.
00:47:26.000So, whether it's American foreign policy or American censorship, what on earth is happening now?
00:47:33.000One person whose take helps us get an overview is the brilliant journalist Caitlin Johnston who posted this.
00:47:38.000Ben Shapiro cancelled cultured Candace Owens out of a job and Alex Jones has condemned Israel's genocidal atrocities before most Democrats on Capitol Hill.
00:47:48.000American right-wing punditry is a trip, man.
00:47:51.000I've always thought, when I get accused of chilling for the right, that people are not including or indeed understanding the complexity of what's happening when it comes to issues like free speech, which is super significant, and war, which is indeed the apex of man's business.
00:48:06.000War lay there dormant, awaiting for its perfect practitioner, is a quote I heard in a brilliant interview on our channel with Neil Oliver.
00:48:15.000So let's have a look at how this story is unfolding and what it means for our new political and cultural spaces.
00:48:21.000Every single political commentator in America, every single one of them knows this, that if you do not step out and say things that are radically pro-Israel, or if you are too quiet on certain narratives and they want you to be radically pro-Israel, you can lose everything.
00:48:40.000I'm not feeling like I need to hide from that anymore, or be afraid to say it, rather, is a better way to say it, because I've endured this for years.
00:48:51.000I have given so much rope here, and I am just done with it.
00:48:55.000Every person that you are a fan of, they know this.
00:48:58.000Every person that you line up to go hear speak, they know this.
00:49:02.000Again, it's not even on the basis of what you say.
00:49:03.000It can sometimes be on the basis of what you don't say.
00:49:06.000that an entire mob will assemble, it will write piece after piece after piece until
00:49:12.000you subjugate. If you don't subjugate, the bounty grows larger.
00:49:16.000Pretty interesting to see Candace Owens, who whatever you think of her, has got absolute
00:49:20.000balls of steel when it comes to getting involved in public conflict, sounding like she is dealing
00:49:27.000with some ulterior and tacit pressure.
00:49:31.000So interesting to note that to have the position of I am anti-war before you bring culture or race or religion or nation into it.
00:49:42.000I have a position of being opposed to military violence.
00:49:45.000I always believe that the promotion of peace and diplomacy should be at the forefront.
00:49:50.000That's sometimes a difficult position to take because there are, well let's just take the establishment perspective, aggressors, criminal aggressors like Vladimir Putin who will, unprovoked, forget NATO, forget 2014, forget CIA bases across Ukraine, attack Ukraine, that there are events that seem to warrant a military response, like acts of terrorism, whether they are the events of October the 7th in Israel or whether they are the events in Moscow last week.
00:50:17.000Acts of terror, seem to legitimise a response.
00:50:20.0009-11 being the ultimate example of an act of terrorism that elicited a significant response.
00:50:27.000In that case, a spate of, not unquestioned, heavily protested but ultimately enacted wars.
00:50:34.000So I would say that the formative and necessary value that must be protected is free speech.
00:50:39.000Because you might be right on the subject of Russia-Ukraine.
00:50:43.000You might be right on the subject of Israel-Gaza.
00:50:46.000So we better let everybody talk so that in the, as they say, marketplace of ideas, as I heard George Galloway say the other day, let a thousand flowers bloom and we will discuss together the truth.
00:50:58.000As soon as you begin to say these views must be censored, like Instagram, the world.
00:51:24.000You decide for yourself what you think the agenda of the powerful are and when making that decision you can look at their economic policies, you can look at their political alliances, you can look at whether or not Joe Biden appears to be ensuring that arms reach Israel in Unusual ways, specifically allowing small allotments of arms to be shipped there in order that they don't have to be verified by Congress.
00:52:07.000And I imagine you know what yours are.
00:52:08.000In a few weeks, I will be out to Israel, and I will be out to Gaza, and I will be able to report to you guys what it is that I actually see.
00:52:15.000But I also want to say this because it's so important.
00:52:32.000I think that one day we are all going to have to account for the things that we have done and the things that we have said and I want to make sure that I am not a person that is parroting lies.
00:52:41.000Extraordinary to hear Candace Owens reaching, I believe in all sincerity, for God in this moment.
00:52:47.000I recall that when I was myself the recipient of extraordinary personal and what appeared to be The fear of losing your job, encouraging some people to spit out lies, I don't think that works in the end.
00:52:58.000publicly stand up for me. He said I'm not brave it's just I fear different things
00:53:04.000than them like hell. Fear of losing your job, encouraging some people to spit out
00:53:11.000lies, I don't think that works in the end. I think you've got to check your
00:53:14.000priorities and so with that said I want to thank everybody who has been on this
00:53:20.000journey with me, people that have supported me.
00:53:22.000I especially want to thank all of the Jewish people that have been in the comments saying how outraged they are.
00:53:26.000And I know that it is especially difficult for you guys right now, because you are being smeared, you know?
00:53:34.000I'm going to use my God-given voice to talk about the things that are important for me.
00:53:40.000I'm just asking to be left alone, or at least just report the truth.
00:53:44.000Tucker Carlson, from the beginning of this conflict, has been clear that his stance on Middle Eastern conflict, regional conflicts, global conflicts, is uniform.
00:53:53.000He does not support war, he supports diplomacy.
00:53:55.000It's one of the areas where I've found common consensus with Tucker Carlson.
00:53:59.000It's surprising to see this post from Alex Jones on this subject.
00:54:07.000Section 1091 of title 18 United States Code prohibits genocide whether committed in time of peace or time of war.
00:54:14.000Genocide is defined in article 1091 and includes violent attacks with the specific intent to destroy in whole or in part a national ethnic racial or religious group.
00:54:24.000Since being shared, Jones's post has received more than 4 million views.
00:54:28.000Jones also linked to a viral post that shared footage from Al Jazeera purporting to show the Israel Defense Forces, IDF, killing four unarmed Palestinians in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip.
00:54:39.000Jones' post sparked mixed reactions from fellow ex-users.
00:54:43.000I suppose because we live in a time where any piece of information could be considered mis, dis or mal information.
00:54:49.000But The video itself does seem to show unarmed civilians or, you know, combatants call them, what you will, depending on the hue of your belief system, being killed by drone strikes.
00:55:00.000Perhaps these wars, Ukraine, Russia and the matters between Israel and Gaza are of special significance because they do indeed involve our nations.
00:55:09.000Here's some reporting on the Biden administration's relationship with Israel when it comes to arms sales and some unusual facts that you may be interested in.
00:55:18.000The Biden administration has been able to maintain a low profile by spreading arms provision to Israel across more than 100 smaller munition sales, allowing the president to posture as a peacekeeper while US weapons wipe Gaza off the map.
00:55:32.000It's odd to me to see humanitarian aid being sent to Gaza while missiles are being sent to Israel.
00:55:39.000Odd for me to see Russia being offered condolences when there's been a terror attack in Moscow while simultaneously cluster bombs are being sent to Ukraine.
00:55:54.000In the 150 days after October the 7th, Israel killed 31,000 Palestinians, injured 72,000, displaced 1.7 million and raised or damaged more than half of Gaza's buildings.
00:56:06.000Joe Biden sent over 100 weapons shipments to Israel during the same stretch.
00:56:12.000officials told members of Congress that the Biden administration approved and delivered more than 100 separate weapons sales to Israel in the 150 days after October 7th amounting to thousands of precision-guided munitions, small-diameter bombs, bunker busters, small arms, and other lethal aid the Washington Post reported on Wednesday. That works
00:56:31.000out to one new arms deal every 36 hours on average. That information has to be taken into
00:56:37.000account in the context of Alex Jones' language, the censorship that appears to be
00:56:43.000currently enacted and indeed the US' pride in the humanitarian aid they're sending to
00:56:49.000Gaza and how that equates to marries with the lethal aid and it's not a term I'm really ever
00:56:56.000comfortable using being sent to One wonders if the reverse would ever be considered plausible.
00:57:02.000These transfers are classified as sales, but very few of them meet that definition in the conventional sense.
00:57:08.000The vast majority are funded through State Department grants.
00:57:11.000Biden made just two of these publicly funded sales to Israel public, and the only reason he did is because he had to.
00:57:18.000Section 36 of the Arms Export Control Act, AECA, requires the President to notify Congress when a proposed arms sale exceeds a certain value.
00:57:27.000It's surprising, isn't it, to see recourse to these legislative clauses when it comes to a matter like genocide and Arms sales, that it's section 102 defines what a genocide is and section XYZ defines what amount an arms sale is and what an arms grant is and what lethal aid is, because I think many of us sense that if these statistics are true, 31,000 Palestinians killed, 72,000 injured and 1.7 million displaced, those numbers have to be reckoned with and there surely must be a better solution than perpetuating and facilitating the perpetuation of violence of that degree.
00:58:03.000While Biden is loud and proud about arming Ukraine, he prefers to arm Israel in secret.
00:58:08.000The quantity of sales since October 7th is case in point.
00:58:11.000By spreading his military support for Israel across more than 100 sales, Biden kept pretty much all of them under the threshold per the AECA, therefore avoiding congressional and public scrutiny.
00:58:21.000Keeping these transfers out of public view makes it easier for Biden to cast himself as humanitarian of the year in Gaza while going to great lengths to help Israel destroy it.
00:58:30.000Biden's series of food airdrops suggests he's bravely trying to fix a catastrophe beyond his control.
00:58:36.000Administration officials perpetuate this narrative by insisting the president has no leverage over Israel.
00:58:41.000There is a mistaken belief that the United States is able to dictate to other countries sovereign decisions.
00:58:45.000State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller recently said, this is wrong.
00:58:49.000The catastrophe in Gaza is the result of a deliberate policy choice Biden made.
00:58:54.000Israel's military offensive would not be possible without him fast-tracking such vast quantities of weapons to its arsenal over the last several months.

01:00:39.000Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has admitted that Israel's assault on Gaza relies on a steady stream, a torrent in fact, of US weapons.
01:00:48.000Once telling a group of local government officials, we need three things from the US, munitions, munitions and munitions.
01:00:55.000From October the 7th to mid-February, Biden had delivered 21,000 bombs to Israel and Israel had already dropped half of them.
01:01:01.000Netanyahu structured an urgent plea to US lawmakers in November in a similar way.
01:01:08.000Yesterday, he said, and specifically requested 150mm artillery shells.
01:01:13.000More than 30 aid and advocacy groups had urged the Biden administration not to supply this ammunition because the shells are unguided, highly explosive, with a casualty radius of 100 to 300 metres.
01:01:24.000And have been used by Israel in the past to hit hospitals, schools, shelters and safe zones.
01:01:28.000Biden transferred 57,000 of them to Israel a few weeks later.
01:01:33.000The Israeli army announced in early December that it had fired more than 100,000 shells since its ground invasion of Gaza began on October the 27th, adding that artillery plays a central role by providing intense fire cover for its troops.
01:01:45.000In a recent poll, 52% of Americans said that the United States should halt weapons transfers to Israel, while only 27% said they should continue.
01:01:54.000Among 2020 Biden voters, the margin was 62 to 14%.
01:01:57.000Those statistics suggest that whatever your personal moral position is on this conflict, which could be formed by a number of variants, Perhaps you are Israeli, perhaps you have cultural or religious affiliations to that region on either side of this terrifying conflict.
01:02:13.000But in terms, if this polling is accurate, of the American population, it is an unpopular conflict.
01:02:20.000So would you agree that in a democracy there would be the opportunity to vote against or
01:02:25.000for this conflict continuing to be supported by America?
01:02:29.000And that brings I think to the forefront a few issues.
01:02:32.000One, the recent Instagram censorship of political content, which has a number of potential uses,
01:02:37.000but it could be suggested this would be one of them.
01:02:39.000Two, the attempts to erase TikTok from American life on the basis that the Chinese Communist
01:02:44.000Party might misuse the platform, which has been proven is entirely hypothetical.
01:02:48.000It's not been proven that that's possible.
01:02:50.000It also brings to the forefront the recent protest votes against Biden in numerous primaries.
01:02:58.000A popular line of military activity, let's call it, according to Biden's own voter base as we head to an election in which he looks fragile and vulnerable and the legacy media continues to have, as its only artillery, the constant demonization of his opponent, Donald Trump.
01:03:17.000The renewed urgency to pass a bill to ban TikTok emerged due to Washington's concerns about how its users were interacting with content regarding the Israeli war in Gaza.
01:03:26.000Many of TikTok's users share pro-Palestinian messages far more frequently than pro-Israeli viewpoints.
01:03:32.000Perhaps that's because, as Nikki Haley said, you only have to watch it for 35 seconds to become racist.
01:03:37.000The public debate between members of the House of Representatives centers around the Chinese ownership of TikTok and the Chinese government's level of influence over the platform.
01:03:45.000However, renewed interest in passing the legislation only materialized in Washington because many of TikTok's users share content with an overwhelmingly pro-Palestinian message.
01:03:54.000Glenn Greenwald explained that the TikTok ban bill made no progress over four years because of the app's popularity among young Americans.
01:04:01.000Greenwald went on to report that members of Congress and Washington insiders on both sides of the aisle were spurred to act immediately by the platform's overwhelmingly pro-Palestinian content.
01:04:10.000The bill's author is Representative Mike Gallagher, Republican, Wisconsin, one of the most outspoken China hawks in Washington and the chair of the House subcommittee on China.
01:04:20.000He explained that the likelihood of the legislation becoming law has sharply increased because he and other members of the China committee believed the platform was exposing users to too much pro-Palestinian content.
01:04:31.000Around half of TikTok's users and content creators are 18 to 34.
01:04:35.000Support for Tel Aviv and President Biden has been dropping among that demographic and about half of voting Americans under 35 believe Israel is conducting a genocide in Gaza.
01:04:44.000So that at least provides an alternative narrative for why this bill has been brought to the forefront of our collective mind and legislative procedure right now.
01:04:55.000And now to touch on Biden's performance in the primaries and in particular the uncommitted votes.
01:05:00.000In February, over 100,000 people voted uncommitted in the Michigan Democratic primary to send a message to President Biden over his unconditional support for Israel.
01:05:08.000Biden still received 640,000 votes, over 80%, but 100,000 votes could make a big difference in the November presidential election since Michigan is a swing state.
01:05:18.000Add to that our increasing understanding that Google uses its algorithms to support, in short, the neoliberal Democrat Party agenda, And now Instagram has found a curious new way to manage political content on its platform.
01:05:33.000It seems likely that the confusion, disarray, bafflement and horror that's unfolding around this conflict is breaking up old alliances, creating new alliances, legitimising new forms of censorship, requiring that arms deals are done in a surreptitious way and that humanitarian You will have seen our video last week where we talked about a potential Black Swan event.
01:05:52.000because this is a war that the Biden administration may be able to afford financially,
01:05:57.000but they cannot afford from a PR perspective because their voter base does not enjoy and will not endure this conflict.
01:06:53.000Even old ideas that peace must be cherished more than war.
01:06:57.000That we have the right to be transparent and open when we discuss significant, if complex, issues.
01:07:04.000And that censorship is becoming normalised and people are even curiously advocating for it.
01:07:09.000I'll note that when the legacy media reported on Instagram's curious new changes, they used posts from users who said things like, yeah, I don't like seeing politics come up in my feed to undergird an appetite for censorship.
01:07:21.000But here on this channel, we have an appetite for truth, however complex it might be.
01:08:50.000Let's have a look though, because even when the bridge story came out, the Baltimore Bridge Collapse, some people regarded it immediately as a distraction.
01:08:59.000Look at this, like some people saying, oh yeah, is this the distractors from P. Diddy?
01:09:47.000The LA home of Sean Diddy Combs was raided by Homeland Security Investigations on Monday in connection with a federal sex trafficking case, authority said.
01:09:55.000The federal raid occurred at Coombs' 40 million dollar home in LA's Homely Hills neighborhood across the coast.
01:10:00.000They also razed the music mogul's Miami home on Star Island.
01:10:04.000Social media users have said the incident reminds them of the Jeffrey Epstein saga.
01:10:09.000This, as Prince Harry's party days with Sean Diddy Coombs could be coming back to haunt him after it emerged that he was named in court documents filed against the rapper last year.
01:10:19.000Cassandra Ventura Also known as R&B singer Cassie dropped a bombshell lawsuit in a New York federal court against a bad boy mogul.
01:10:27.000Combs and Ventura dated and the lawsuit detailed several eyebrow-raising allegations that DLG years of alleged abuse.
01:10:33.000The two then settled on a settlement The next day.
01:10:56.000And then we'll talk about how Kat Williams said some time ago, But this was the kind of story that we were going to be seeing more of.
01:11:06.000Let's have a look at first of all how the legacy media are reporting on it and how familiar it is now to see a story that essentially is about like a famous person, like Jesus man, like think of when did this start?
01:12:14.000I suppose the reason that I'm handling it carefully is because I've been accused of some extraordinary things, which I, of course, No, to be untrue.
01:12:24.000And of course, I recognise that many of you said that in my case, oh, this is because you speak out continually on a daily basis against establishment interests like censorship and war and Big Pharma, and it was inevitable that you'd be attacked in this way.
01:12:38.000Indeed, long before the attacks, people were saying, watch out, Russell, be careful, Russell, and then sure enough.
01:12:43.000But I wonder what cultural space Diddy ...operates within.
01:12:47.000Certainly, it's pretty interesting that Kat Williams said this a little while ago.
01:13:35.000Sounds to me like that we should be careful analyzing it.
01:13:39.000And I, of course, have reason to be somewhat circumspect when it comes to anyone that's accused of heinous stuff publicly because, you know, I know what it's like to have that happen to me.
01:14:28.000That's a subject we'll be covering soon.
01:14:29.000We've got Alex Berenson coming on the show later on this week to talk about coronavirus and how the legacy media handled it.
01:14:35.000And we've got some stories about ivermectin that you will absolutely love.
01:14:39.000Plus, the great Neil Oliver will be on our show Friday talking about what we have to do to organise a global opposition movement to this establishment and immersive threat.
