Russell Brand is joined by Edward Dowd to discuss the phenomenon of 'excess deaths' among young people between 2011 and 2022, and the theories about what caused the sudden increase in mortality among people between the ages of 21 and 22. Russell and Edward discuss the impact of these deaths, and whether they could have anything to do with the current social, political, and economic climate. They also discuss the potential link between these deaths and the lack of education for young people in schools, and why they could be the root cause of the current global obesity crisis.

00:01:00.000Although later this week, we're going to have to cover the complexity of that because we are being censored and prevented from, well, not only speaking freely, but potentially from even reaching out Into platforms where free speech is less prohibitive.
00:01:19.000Joining me now is a man who is willing to confront authority, who's willing to confront the accepted version of events.
00:01:27.000And this is one of the most extraordinary stories of our times and I'm excited to say these words because a little while ago it was forbidden, forboden, impossible, prohibited to even use this kind of language.
00:01:39.000Today we're talking about Excess deaths.
00:01:42.000We are with the author of Cause Unknown, the epidemic of sudden deaths in 2021 and 2022.
00:01:56.000Bobby Kennedy, who wrote the foreword to your book, the presidential candidate and friend of the show, and as far as I can tell, pull-ups expert, wrote the foreword to your book, and he said that he uses one of your quotes again and again, and I too have caught that meme.
00:02:13.000It's as contagious, maybe even more contagious, than a certain little virus that made its way out of a Wuhan lab or wet market.
00:03:11.000We had 58,000 soldiers die over 12 years, so we had a Vietnam War for the Millennials in 2021, basically, which shouldn't have happened, and still to this day, no one can really explain why.
00:03:22.000I have my thoughts, and we can talk about that a little bit forward.
00:03:45.000What's going on with excess death rate for children in the UK?
00:03:48.000Can you talk us through this still, please, Edward?
00:03:52.000Yeah, so this is research we've done since the book, and so in the UK, excess deaths during COVID were going down because children were unaffected by the virus for the most part, and the greatest cause of death for children ages 1 through 14 is accidental.
00:04:10.000And because of the lockdowns and the school closures, remote schooling, and whatnot, their deaths went down.
00:04:18.000But then they started to go back up in 21, and they reached a new height in 2023 of 20%, which is a six standard deviation from norm.
00:04:27.000And a standard deviation is basically a probability from normal.
00:04:32.000So that'd be like the equivalent of a seven foot giant being born, or many of them, so to speak.
00:04:38.000It's the equivalent of many seven-foot giants being born.
00:04:57.000Either we're about to be living in a land of giants, which I'd kind of be into, or something's gone dreadfully awry in the last couple of years.
00:05:06.000Even when conveying this information, Edward, are there still limitations on what you're able to say?
00:05:16.000I mean, my thesis that I put forward in the book, and again, it's my thesis, is it's the vaccination program.
00:05:23.000And the children in the UK is one of my smoking guns.
00:05:26.000I talk about it in the book because their excess deaths were declining, were actually negative.
00:05:32.000Going into November of 2021, because the vaccination program for that age group didn't roll out until November of 2021, and then excess deaths curiously started increasing, and now they're at 20% in 2023 annualized numbers for this age group.
00:05:50.000So they were not dying during COVID, vaccines are introduced, and then their excess deaths start rising.
00:05:57.000Can you tell me then, do we have much data on what in particular is, what aspect of the vaccination process or what in particular is causing it and why, if the information is this stark and observable, it's not being more broadly discussed?
00:06:24.000PIP data is a personal independence payment system.
00:06:27.000It's your it's your disability system.
00:06:29.000And we analyzed excess claims over, you know, a five year trend prior.
00:06:36.000And across the board, disabilities in the UK have gone off the charts, all different body systems, hematological, cardiovascular cancers, you name it.
00:06:46.000And here are the numbers for all the body system and disability increases.
00:06:50.000It was about 1% rise in 2020, about a 6% rise in Uh, 2021 and about 74% rise in 2022.
00:07:01.000So things are going off the rails in the U.K.
00:07:05.000So either there's systemic fraud and we've uncovered something the U.K.
00:07:09.000government should be happy about, or there's some endogenous factor that's been introduced that's causing the U.K.
00:07:16.000pension disability system to go bankrupt at some point.
00:07:20.000At the beginning of the pandemic period, there was a lot of talk of conspiracies.
00:07:23.000There was definitely hyperbole on both sides of a very polarising conversation and a very polarising time, but it seems the more evidence we're granted access to, the more censorship is able to be surpassed or evaded.
00:07:36.000It seems more and more likely that the people that had the worst fears are closer to the truth than what was, for a long time, the accepted and official narrative.
00:08:23.000And so I said to myself, why is the Federal Reserve President talking about immunity badges, which.
00:08:28.000It sounded like gold stars to me at the time.
00:08:31.000So I started talking about the fact I believe vaccine passports were going to be introduced on Twitter.
00:08:38.000People called me a conspiracy theorist.
00:08:39.000And then you go to 21, we had vaccine passports and mandates.
00:08:44.000My background is in observing market trends and as you said, normally when this name is mentioned, it's not in the most glowing and affectionate of terms, BlackRock, and that you controlled sizable portfolios and you're a successful investor and that obviously by its nature requires a degree of insight and perspicacity.
00:09:05.000How come you change from operating in this world into making what has driven you and what has inspired you To move from working in the field of investment into working in what seems to me to be a pretty fraught and risky territory.
00:09:21.000Yeah, so BlackRock has transformed itself.
00:09:24.000I left in 2012, and at the time, I was managing a $14 billion growth equity portfolio, which was actively managed, meaning humans picked the stocks.
00:09:36.000BlackRock transformed itself into a passive investment ETF giant, and it's transformed itself in the 10 years, 11 years since I've been gone.
00:09:47.000All my former colleagues that I work with, not a person I know is still there.
00:09:51.000So it was a different firm when I was there.
00:09:54.000And my job was to make money for my clients and identify trends and trend changes before everybody else.
00:09:59.000So that on Wall Street, if you're a human trying to beat the market, you want to be early and right.
00:10:04.000And so I just applied that skill set to analyzing trends and statistical analysis to what's going on here with excess deaths, disabilities and injuries.
00:10:14.000And early on, I started seeing anomalies.
00:10:17.000And for me, knowing statistics, when the vaccine was introduced in early 2021, I started hearing anecdotes of injuries and the uncle from so-and-so on the mainland, I live on Maui, died here and there.
00:10:31.000I didn't hear any of these stories in 2020.
00:10:33.000So I knew that if a vaccine is safe, you shouldn't be hearing anecdotally any of these stories.
00:10:39.000So that got me on the journey of investigation.
00:10:43.000And I figured at some point this would show up in insurance company results and funeral home results.
00:10:51.000It was pretty incredible how that information was managed and controlled and I'll refrain from saying that you were clearly holding Blackrock back because they've flourished since you left.
00:11:01.000I think you were a real fly in the ointment at what was soon to become an investment giant.
00:11:07.000They've gone from strength to strength.
00:11:09.000One prediction you could have made is when I leave Blackrock, Start investing with BlackRock.
00:11:14.000But one of the things that most of us sort of conversationally were aware of and were too afraid to discuss was the death of healthy young athletes.
00:11:24.000It seemed like one of those things that was, I know that when this was discussed on social media, people were like, this is a conspiracy theory.
00:11:31.000Oh, you whack jobs, you lunatics, you aluminium hat wearing nuts.
00:11:36.000And here's just a few headlines from around the world.
00:11:42.000When you see something like this, it seems like either anecdotal evidence or we're deliberately creating a narrative.
00:11:50.000But I suppose if you're creating a narrative based on evidence, it's a narrative that people should hear.
00:11:55.000Can you talk us through the death of athletes and what in particular is significant about it?
00:12:00.000Yeah, so early on in 21, I was aware of, on Twitter, the soccer athletes in Europe dropping dead.
00:12:37.000And there's an actual study that I cite in my book called the Lussane Study from Switzerland that was done in 2006 to try to put some numbers on this.
00:13:41.000Then when you get into the statistical age groups from the publicly available data, that's where we marry anecdotal with what I call metadata.
00:13:52.000And so this is not something that we're making up.
00:13:58.000This is a coffee table book for conspiracy theorists and as such you include QR codes.
00:14:04.000Every story in there has a QR code that you can follow to make sure that you, Edward Dowd, and all of us that feel that the last three years was revelatory and demonstrated a convergence between state interests, legacy media interests, and big pharma interests, not to mention perhaps potentially This is of course speculative, a globalist agenda to legitimise centralised authoritarianism, introduce schemes and ideas like vaccine passports, to normalise lockdowns and to practice mass control.
00:14:36.000Many people have said these things are possibilities and there's probably a QR code somewhere in Edward's book that can take you right the way to some reptilian overlords that What I like about the book is your journalistic integrity and I suppose it makes it all the more clear that there was a requirement for the shaming and censoring of sceptical people.
00:15:04.000So that such a plainly untrue narrative could be pushed on such a scale.
00:15:09.000Given that your background is in that most observable and measurable of fields, finance, do you feel that what we've just experienced is a kind of off-the-scale global historic event, Edward?
00:15:24.000Yeah, we're going to be talking about this not for the next 10 years, for the next 100 years.
00:15:29.000The damage that's been done, in my humble opinion, it's unmitigated in the history of the world.
00:15:37.000And this has been the biggest gaslighting operation I've ever seen.
00:15:40.000As an investor, I call this the greatest asymmetric investment opportunity of a lifetime.
00:15:46.000Meaning, on Wall Street, you try to take advantage of information that you have, not inside information, but through your own insights that you glean, and knowing that most of the public doesn't know it yet.
00:15:58.000Unfortunately, this has been such a good PSYOP and gaslighting job, it's still an asymmetric information situation where still a lot of people don't know what's going on.
00:16:10.000The good news is, Word is getting out, booster uptake is down, and people are starting to spread it despite the media clampdown on this issue and the political clampdown and the regulatory clampdown.
00:16:21.000And to your point about conspiracy theories, you don't even need... I wasn't in the room and in the book.
00:16:36.000Good old greed, power and corruption as the candidates here, because once the momentum of the free money from the central banks and the governments started rolling, there were three vectors that profited from this.
00:16:52.000Then you have media that got all the money from the pharma ad spend, and then also they got government grants to push the vaccine, as we found out later.
00:16:59.000And then you have the tech companies who were looking their chops at the new surveillance technologies they could have implemented.
00:17:07.000You had three vectors that were going to profit from this, and so they were all aligned.
00:17:12.000Maybe we're not in a room drinking scotch, laughing, smoking cigars, but money certainly and power was behind this.
00:17:20.000And of course, the politicians get all their lobbying dollars from these giant corporations.
00:17:24.000So four vectors of interest all aligned, and they were pushing.
00:17:30.000I like that, using these four vectors to understand how this event unfolded and I alluded to the somewhat more conspiratorial but I would say also logical idea that it legitimizes authoritarianism at a time where the trend is towards decentralization.
00:17:47.000I don't mean the ideological trend, I mean the potential for decentralization that is afforded by instantaneous communication and the Potential for individual's freedom and the sacred nature of individual freedom that I suppose within libertarianism or anarchism are still sort of prized and discussed.
00:18:06.000The idea that you as an individual have certain rights and that if you are able to legitimize authority those rights can be surpassed, undermined, ended.
00:18:19.000And I suppose that's why it was so important that the initial idea It was a very moral one.
00:18:27.000And if you don't take this medicine, then you don't care about other people.
00:18:31.000Well, it turns out that it was one lie after another.
00:18:35.000And the only way that this conversation won't be happening in 100 years, Edward, is because the conversation will still be being censored with all of the increasing censorship legislation all around the world.
00:18:45.000Targeted in particular, I would say, around issues like this that have the potential to bring people together on an unprecedented scale and initiate the kind of global awakening that's required at this time of universal dissent.
00:18:58.000Now, one of the vectors that you described that benefited incredibly from this omnicrisis, from this global scam, was Pfizer.
00:19:06.000And I think we've got another one of these steals we don't normally have, Edward.
00:19:09.000You're better prepared and better equipped than most of our guests that just Let's talk about Pfizer.
00:19:14.000with an opinion or two or a conspiracy and just shout their mouths off.
00:21:51.000But there's a comment on the largeness and honesty of big pharma and the state and that
00:21:55.000doesn't seem to be a commodity that's in particular high supply.
00:22:02.000And look, Pfizer was printing so much money in the form of the COVID profits, they were doling out money to politicians, advertising on both technology platforms, social media platforms, and the media.
00:22:15.000And let's not forget, our governments gave media companies, at least in the U.S.
00:22:21.000we uncovered a billion dollars through a FOIA request was given to media companies to promote the vaccine and put the kibosh on any counter narrative to the vaccine.
00:22:32.000We've got a quote here from Marty Makary, who we quote a lot on this show, and I guess is Marty Makary someone you cite in your book, Edward?
00:22:44.000It says here that the CDC director last year said if we vaccinate a million children there might be 30 or 40 cases of mild myocarditis and they said if you get myocarditis from COVID that's worse or it happens at a higher rate but that's not true.
00:23:01.000The studies have come out Europe reacted by banning the Moderna vaccine altogether in young people in many parts of Europe and everybody under 30.
00:23:09.000We're now learning that there's significant heart damage.
00:23:12.00031% of people having physical activity restrictions.
00:23:16.00063% of children after myocarditis had evidence of heart swelling months down the road on MRI.
00:23:29.000Well, let's go forward to a report that we just put out recently on cardiovascular deaths in the UK, ages 15 through 44.
00:23:37.000Basically, it was, you know, de minimis in 2020, it was about 13%, rose to, I believe, 30% in 21 and 44% in 2022, which is a 10.5 standard deviation.
00:23:44.000percent rose to I believe 30 percent in 21 and 44 percent in 2022, which is a ten and a half standard
00:23:52.000deviation. That's the equivalent of a Thanos giant being born eight foot tall. And so this mild
00:24:01.000myocarditis obviously is now working its way into the population forms of deaths and disabilities.
00:24:08.000I'm going to go back to the In that study, we look at the potential market, and again, I hate to say the word market, but the market size for potential cardiovascular deaths.
00:24:53.000I don't know, but because these events are so rare, I want people to understand when I throw out a 10 standard deviation event, that's a Thanos event, and we know Thanos tried to kill half the world.
00:25:07.000You're using sort of nerd mythology images, because I don't understand what 10 standard deviations means, but I know what Thanos means.
00:25:16.000He stole that jewel-y glove, the jewel glove, and he caused all sorts of trouble with that.
00:25:21.000He was very unkind to Spider-Man, and I think Robert Downey Jr., who had a bad heart anyway, he's going to be in a lot of trouble, I think, because remember, he got that thing in his heart, right?
00:25:30.000So it's sort of starting to make sense, I would say, Edward.
00:25:34.000Absolutely, and I think poor Ironman would be at risk of a sudden death if he took the vaccine, in my humble opinion.
00:25:41.000Yes, I think Ironman wouldn't make it through the afternoon, would he?
00:25:44.000After all of the trouble he's gone to making that suit.
00:25:47.000It's one little jab from Pfizer and he's crashing out of the sky, throwing out witty quips as he goes to pip a peg pot or Pepper Potters.
00:25:56.000I can't remember the name of his girlfriend.
00:26:48.000Can you explain that to me using stuff out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
00:26:54.000I don't know if I can do that, but what I can say is this.
00:26:58.000Since the great financial crisis of 2008-9, the federal debt has grown exponentially, and we're all aware of that.
00:27:08.000We do economic reports as well at Finance Technologies, that's my firm, and a lot of our research can be found there at Financetechnologies.com with a PH.
00:29:04.000No wonder you have to explain everything using giants.
00:29:07.000Everyone else is an idiot compared to you.
00:29:09.000Hey, Edward, do you feel that there's some kind of global resistance organizing against what appears to be an existential threat against everyone that would require the immediate unification of all the people of the world, not to to create some sort of terrifying centralised new order,
00:29:26.000but a totally decentralised but united front against this plain attempt to enslave us all.
00:30:00.000In my journey, when everyone on Maui ran off the cliff and ran out to get the job, those of us who were left standing who refused to get it, and it was a tough time here on Maui, you know, I realized and looked to my left and to my right, you know, I'm a Wall Street guy.
00:30:39.000People who are tired of Decentralized control, the top-down, you know, maniacal psychopathic power grabs.
00:30:48.000And we are definitely at a global awakening.
00:30:52.000The system that resulted in this jab, the corruption and evilness that's been going on for the last 50 years manifested into a jab into everybody.
00:31:54.000No, but they seem to be able to print magic money out of nowhere, and they just don't want you to know they can do that, and they want to distract all of us with wars, pandemics, and division.
00:32:11.000Hey, were you ever tempted to go, oh, maybe I'll invest a few thousand dollars here or there in some of these companies?
00:32:18.000I'm predicting that Pfizer's going this way, oh, but then that way when the myocarditis starts kicking in.
00:32:25.000Were you ever tempted to invest in it?
00:32:30.000So when I first came on the scene, I made a point that I was not going to personally profit from Pfizer's demise, which I'm happy to say Pfizer's at a new 52-week low, so is Moderna.
00:32:43.000People are starting to figure this out.
00:32:46.000So, I made a point of not profiting from it because I was going to try to create news, and I didn't want anybody to say I had a financial gain in this.
00:32:57.000But my team at Finance Technologies and I are going to raise capital for a global macroeconomic hedge fund, which will utilize a lot of this research to bet on capital markets across the globe.
00:33:08.000And that's our next project, is raising a fund.
00:33:11.000All right, well I'm going to invest in that for sure.
00:33:13.000All right mate, well let's once again mention Cause Unknown, a coffee table book for conspiracy theorists who want to be proven right and have the QR codes to show they're working out.
00:33:25.000A fantastic book and it's just it seems the tip of the iceberg or perhaps the tip of the syringe underneath the water it seems is a pretty nefarious substance of a It has spike protein in it that doesn't remain localized, evidently, on the basis of the way things are going.
00:33:41.000Edward, thanks so much for joining us.
00:33:43.000We'll post a link to your great book in the description.
00:33:47.000The first person who can answer this question in the chat will get sent this one for free.
00:33:53.000Edward, can you think of a question related to your book for someone to answer in the chat to get sent this copy of your book?
00:34:00.000How many years did Pfizer and the FDA want to hide the data from us?
