00:02:00.000But first, let's talk about free speech right now and how it's functioning.
00:02:05.000You are aware that we are living in a state of increased global tension, that we are lurching from one crisis to another.
00:02:13.000And these crises, appalling crises, with Death and despair spilling out immeasurably everywhere appear always to legitimize either more centralized authoritarianism or the ability to profit by very powerful interests and also extraordinary prevarications from people that previously you would have thought were absolutely aligned with important democratic principles.
00:02:40.000Have a look at John Fettman who I really thought was a guy who believed in freedom.
00:02:44.000Certainly he's Shorts and attire, generally suggested.
00:02:47.000He was a guy who was up for letting it all hang out.
00:04:35.000If you have a problem, Like you're living in an authoritarian system that wants to censor you and seems to be implementing some peculiar measures to prevent any kind of uprising or consensus or movement of opposition.
00:04:47.000If you want some help and if you can find us, maybe you can join the Stay Free movement.
00:04:52.000I can't even tell you where we're going, but have a look at this set.
00:04:54.000I think there are indications of where you might find us and where you might find free speech and where you might find a conversation with Dr Peter McCulloch, who I'm going to be speaking to right now.
00:05:03.000Peter, thank you so much for Thank you for joining us.
00:05:10.000Peter, can you tell us about the recent study that suggests there's a potential link between the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and sudden cardiac deaths?
00:05:21.000And can I just check we're off YouTube before Peter answers that?
00:05:25.000Yeah, so can you tell us what about this new study?
00:05:28.000Sure, I think this is a little too strong for YouTube, so the science here is very disturbing.
00:05:34.000Schreckenberg and colleagues from Germany showed that when Pfizer and Moderna is directly applied to heart muscle cells, they start to have very abnormal function and electrical currents within about 48 hours.
00:05:46.000I mean, this is evidence of direct cardiac toxicity.
00:05:51.000Separately, Crosson and colleagues from Harvard showed the messenger RNA is physically stuck in the human heart in people who are dying.
00:05:58.000After the vaccine and now Nakahara and colleagues in a big study, 700 people took the vaccine, 300 who didn't.
00:06:07.000Their cardiac PET scans or positron emission tomography heart scans are very abnormal in those who took the vaccine.
00:06:15.000There's a shift towards the abnormal uptake of what's called fluorodeoxyglucose in positron emission tomography.
00:06:22.000This is basically a sick heart pattern on PET scanning.
00:06:26.000And the astonishing finding was that virtually everybody who took the shot has an abnormal cardiac PET scan.
00:06:32.000Those with sore arms as a sign of inflammation or potentially even potential dose of messenger RNA have worsened cardiac findings.
00:06:39.000So what we've learned now is that it's possible to actually have cardiac dysfunction, maybe even a cardiac arrest, without myocarditis.
00:06:49.000Peter, that sounds terrifying and so beyond the official and heavily propagated narrative that it was impossible to gainsay for such a long time that it is difficult for me to accept, primed even though I've been with all manner of complex and contrary information over the last year.
00:07:11.000Does this represent a significant shift?
00:07:14.000How How do you think this will be publicly addressed and does this amount to a yet more significant failure of the vaccine itself and the surrounding cultural paraphernalia?
00:07:26.000Are we now at the point where we have to acknowledge that that vaccine has caused more harm than good?
00:07:45.000We've extracted all the data from the individual case reports, individually adjudicated all of them, and determined that 73.9% of all the deaths that are occurring, you know, assessed by autopsy after the vaccine, in fact the vaccine has caused the death, When we believe it's a cardiac abnormality in a separate paper, first off, there's full sharing colleagues, 100% are actually due to the vaccine.
00:08:09.000So, what we found is the COVID-19 vaccine is the clear cause of cardiac arrest and sudden death in people who have no obvious other explanation.
00:08:22.000Normally, when someone dies, The cause is known heart disease or known cancer or other problems like a motor vehicle accident, homicide, suicide, drug overdose, but very rarely is death ever a mystery.
00:08:35.000So these cases that are reporting in death, no obvious cause, now the first thing we think of is did they take a COVID-19 vaccine?
00:08:44.000Yes, in fact, it's true, isn't it, that Edward Dowd's information attests that 60,000 young people died from causes unknown.
00:08:58.000The cause was not Covid and He as he phrases it there was a you know over the 12-year period of the Vietnam War 60,000 American young people died and that many people have died Presumably I suppose in the manner that you've described is that what you are you saying that when we were all culturally and anecdotally Experiencing athletes or famous people or young people elsewhere dying that what we were this is what was behind it scientifically This is the explanation
00:09:29.000What Dowd has done is he's made the case that all-cause mortality is rising across data systems.
00:09:37.000Our Center for National Health Statistics in the United States has reported in a report by Hoyart, disturbingly, that maternal mortality, women who are pregnant and then 42 days after delivery, maternal mortality is at an all-time high Since the 1960s and that was for the 2021 calendar year, now the CDC reported just a few days ago that infant mortality has started to turn upwards.
00:10:03.000This is the first upward turn we've seen in 20 years.
00:10:06.000So from adults, pregnant women, infants None of it looks good.
00:10:12.000Public health officials should be having an all-hands-on-deck investigation into why mortality is going up.
00:10:19.000The only new thing introduced now is the COVID-19 mass vaccination program.
00:10:26.000It seems that the way that the information is being released is incrementally.
00:10:31.000Like you'll hear that, oh yeah, it does cause myocarditis in this demographic.
00:10:36.000Oh, there are traces to be found in the milk of breastfeeding mothers.
00:10:41.000And then you start to realise that there's an increase in infant mortality and then perhaps you'll learn that miscarriages increased.
00:10:50.000Peter, perhaps this is beyond even your vast wheelhouse, but it doesn't seem to me likely that such an extraordinary error could have occurred without... I don't know.
00:11:03.000How could something of this scale have happened when there are meant to be so many agencies, both national and global and international, that are meant to be safeguarding, regulating and examining and preventing a travesty of this scale taking place?
00:11:21.000I was the only person in the public view in August of 2020.
00:11:26.000On August 17, 2020, I published In the Hill, which is a widely read journal for the House, the Senate, White House, people in Washington, people all over the country.
00:11:37.000The title of the op-ed was The Great Gamble of the COVID-19 Vaccine Program.
00:11:42.000You know, I was the only public figure and the only person in academic medicine to question these COVID-19 vaccines.
00:11:50.000Everybody had basically fallen into a trance of thinking the vaccines were going to save the world, that they were, you know, presumed to be safe and effective.
00:12:01.000The reason why this should be questioned from the very beginning is the vaccines are the genetic code for the spike protein.
00:12:07.000The spike protein is the spine on the surface of the virus.
00:12:13.000So the genetic code, which we have no ability to shut off, was injected into people's bodies.
00:12:20.000And once the genetic code started to produce the spike protein in some people, it was going to be too much for too long, and it was going to be fatal.
00:12:29.000Now we've learned in a paper by Brogna and colleagues that the vaccine spike protein is circulating in the bloodstream for six months or longer after people take these shots.
00:12:39.000I can tell you having a foreign protein whose genetic code and engineering occurred in a Chinese biosecurity lab floating around in the bloodstream of billions of people who took the vaccine, you know, this is a reality now that's mind-blowing.
00:12:54.000As a doctor I can't possibly even conceived this happened, and now we're seeing disasters, including the tsunami of cardiac arrests, blood clots, strokes, immunologic problems, and now even signals that cancer is on the way up.
00:13:18.000How were you treated at the commencement of this pandemic period when you were making these proclamations, offering a counter narrative and indeed information, vitally, to back up your perspective?
00:13:32.000How do you feel you were treated by the scientific community and their partners in media, Peter?
00:13:41.000I put it all in a book called Courage to Face COVID-19, which is a five-star bestseller on Amazon.
00:13:47.000Interestingly, that book just suffered about two weeks of censorship on Amazon.
00:13:52.000Our book joined just a half-dozen books that was banned from Amazon, including one by Adolf Hitler.
00:14:18.000I had basically devised the first early treatment protocol for COVID-19, had it published in a very high-level journal, the American Journal of Medicine.
00:14:27.000It became the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons Home Treatment Guide.
00:14:32.000Senate very early in November 19th of 2020 that we had a solution to treat patients and prevent complications.
00:14:42.000By December 2020, I kept working in the medical literature.
00:14:45.000We had Clear and convincing evidence early treatment worked.
00:14:48.000What I was shocked with is that my junior colleagues didn't follow along, that they didn't step in and help people get through the illness all over the world.
00:15:00.000So at this point in time, you know, what I've experienced is not a warm welcome, but in fact, just a vehement wave of antipathy.
00:15:11.000And it's come from the American Board of Internal Medicine, as well as, you know, general pundits out there.
00:15:18.000No, I've never had somebody of my stature, like a chief of medicine, a dean, division chief, ever face me face to face and tell me they disagree with the principles of early treatment or The issues of vaccine safety.
00:15:33.000And when I've testified three times in the U.S.
00:15:35.000Senate, we've been invited ahead of time with plenty of advance notice.
00:15:38.000Anthony Fauci, Rochelle Lewinsky, Ashish Jha, Murthy, you know, all the public health officials, none of them have showed up to face me or people in my circles.
00:15:56.000Your protocols that were demonstrably effective were not only not taken up, but in some cases discredited.
00:16:05.000And now that only 3% of Americans are taking the most recent COVID booster, it seems that, generally speaking, the mistrust of the vaccines has reached a tipping point.
00:16:16.000I wonder what you think about the story that Anthony Fauci was supporting a project that was collaborating with the Wuhan virus some months or even years prior to this outbreak.
00:16:33.000That, taken in conjunction with how long it's taking the truth to be broadly conveyed or even discussed, the obvious and evident censorship that took place during the pandemic, the challenges you've just described with both the book that you've published and your protocols, what do you feel that suggests?
00:16:53.000It suggests that the US, as well as many other Western countries, were deep into biological threat development.
00:17:00.000A paper by Leilani and colleagues, British Medical Journal, indicates the United States has been in messenger RNA development since 1985.
00:17:10.000It's put tens of billions of dollars into this.
00:17:13.000DARPA, our research unit of the military, in 2012, it's still on the website, has a program.
00:17:49.000Fauci and his division at the NIH worked with Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Peter Daszak at the EcoHealth Alliance, Dr. Xingling Li at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, And they actually created this chimeric virus.
00:18:09.000Nature Medicine and Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.
00:18:11.000They basically showed the world they created SARS-CoV-2 in 2016 and it gets out of the lab in 2019.
00:18:19.000Now all this is coming out in the U.S.
00:18:21.000House of Representatives Select Committee for Coronavirus Investigation led by Dr. Bren Wenstrup.
00:18:27.000So Fauci is deeply involved in the creation of SARS-CoV-2 and in the cover-up where he pretends as if this came out of nature and it coordinated a deceptive program to mislead the world.
00:18:43.000I was about to sort of say, will there ever be a kind of reckoning now that it seems that there is sufficient evidence to warrant one?
00:18:51.000And whilst you yourself have participated in Senate hearings and here in our country, there is a kind of rather gentle partisan inquiry into COVID that will likely lead to the conclusion that but one half of our political system ought be damned in favour of the other all too similar half.
00:19:11.000It seems that the scale of the reckoning that is required is such that it would amount to a dismantling of such powerful institutions and economic interests, a kind of unravelling of deep relationships between the media, big pharma and the state, that the system itself would be challenged.
00:19:27.000Therefore, Peter, it seems unlikely that that reckoning can ever take place, particularly given that A few, if any, lessons appear to have been learned from this period.
00:19:36.000I don't mean from there are now cultural groups that will never trust the government again, never trust the media again, but because there is a doubling down on the crushing of dissent and escalation of censorship and even sort of attempts by the FDA to shut down over-the-counter drugs and measures that amount to trying to create Further tyranny and dominion over the pharmaceutical solutions to relatively ordinary or common viruses like colds and flus, it suggests that this agenda is continuing.
00:20:08.000So do you feel that there will ever be a reckoning?
00:20:10.000And do you feel that the agenda that brought us the pandemic and its problems is still at work?
00:20:20.000In my book, we call it a biopharmaceutical complex, a powerful syndicate with non-governmental organizations, governmental regulatory agencies.
00:20:40.000And it's working to try to reduce medicinal opportunities for people.
00:20:44.000It's clearly undermined all our efforts on early treatment from nasal sprays and gargles to over-the-counter vitamin supplements, other things we can use to treat illness.
00:20:54.000It's clearly a plan, and the best plan to read is actually the business plan by CEPI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness and Innovation, And that was put together by Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum in 2017.
00:21:08.000CEPI says there will be a wave of pandemics, and there will be only one solution each time, and that is a vaccine.
00:21:26.000I don't think people are going to fall for it.
00:21:28.000People didn't fall for monkeypox, and they're going to start to follow people who they can trust, who are bringing solutions, and that is prevention and treatment of these illnesses as opposed to a vaccine.
00:22:01.000How is it possible for you to keep your head in these spaces with your evident and obvious scientific understanding and enormous integrity and not fall into total despair?
00:22:12.000How is it possible for you to be able to identify figures like Bill Gates, who are still deified
00:22:18.000in certain portions of the media and presented as kind of liberal titans and heroes before
00:22:25.000whom we all hurl ourselves down in front of in worship?
00:23:04.000And how are we going to freely convey this information to enough people to generate the kind of uprising that such disturbing truths would seemingly warrant?
00:23:17.000You know, I was over in the UK in September and your picture was all over the tabloids.
00:23:22.000And so I can tell you, Russell, I must be like you, that we're bold and relentless.
00:23:35.000We're rational theorists, meaning we're interpreting what's going on and we have a rational approach.
00:23:40.000To our understanding, we can debate and talk about these issues.
00:23:44.000We know the other side, this biopharmaceutical complex, they cannot have any face-to-face discussion on any of this.
00:23:52.000Early treatment of COVID, vaccine safety and efficacy, the false declaration of a monkeypox emergency, and we can continue to find this.
00:24:02.000They seem to believe That by manipulation of people through the major media and through social media, that they can actually change human thought.
00:24:11.000And we know this because there's a very important case.
00:24:33.000Australia is going to have the first of this year a very draconian new law go into place where people will not be able to challenge the government false narrative in social media in Australia.
00:24:44.000Rumble is, by the way, not available in France right now.
00:24:59.000They gravitate to us because they know we're on the right side of history.
00:25:04.000Yes, I pray to God that you are right.
00:25:06.000A lot of people are pointing out that Fauci could be a literal antichrist and pointing out that they love Jesus Christ.
00:25:14.000I share that love with you and I certainly share concerns about some sort of Anti-rapture going on in the world of Big Pharma.
00:25:24.000But Peter, surely this hysteria is unwarranted.
00:25:27.000It's not like the WHO are putting together a treaty that means that they will be able to bypass national sovereignty in the event of another pandemic and that this treaty is so carooming and open that even climate change under its auspices could be regarded as a kind of pandemic.
00:25:48.000The WHO aspires to have complete dominion over all plants, animals, and humans with authority binding by international law to declare pandemics, to declare emergency countermeasures, to have lockdowns, forced vaccinations, all of it.
00:26:07.000And to influence our livestock, farming, management of energy.
00:26:12.000It's a giant overreach, and people are opposing this.
00:26:16.000I testified in the European Parliament on September 13th, 2023, and I told the EU, pull out of the WHO.
00:26:32.000We don't want to get tied up in international court.
00:26:35.000As a doctor, Russell, I'm not going to follow anything the WHO says.
00:26:39.000I'm going to follow my medical judgment and do the right thing for patients.
00:26:43.000This seems to be the kind of solution that more people should be pursuing.
00:26:48.000Individual freedom, community freedom, an end to these peculiar International Global Goliaths that seek to impose new legislation and order on free individuals and formerly free nations.
00:27:02.000Peter, I want to thank you so much for joining us and I want to thank you for your great work and your bravery at a time when many people were afraid to speak out.
00:27:09.000You kind of did so automatically and it had great impact and the truth has borne out and thank you for your great work.
00:27:16.000It's a real honor and privilege to meet you.
00:27:21.000Follow me on my website, PeterMcCullochMD.com.
00:27:24.000We're going to post the link in the description, PeterMcCullochMD.com.
00:27:28.000Also, Peter is on Substack, and if you want to be ahead of where things are apparently, even now, gravitating, then Dr. Peter McCulloch is one of the voices that you should be listening to and one of the men you should be following.
00:30:20.000It's like he doesn't realise that that's going to be contentious.
00:30:24.000He's sort of saying it in good faith, like he was expecting that Hillary might go, look, the first 20 times were holidays, and the last three, he happened to leave some stuff there.
00:30:34.000I'm not going to tell you what type of stuff it was, but it's kind of like what he left on Monica's dress.
00:30:40.000I tell ya, man, there's a lot of things you can't say.
00:30:42.000I mean, like, if you want a scandal, check out that island, man.
00:31:38.000He's like, hey, I'm being dragged out.
00:31:41.000I'm having a, I'm in a theme park and it's my own t-shirt.
00:31:45.000Hey, one thing you guys should make sure that you never get involved in is election fraud, because people hate that.
00:31:52.000As you know, Donald Trump, under a deluge of attacks from every direction, is accused of election meddling out there in Georgia, I believe, currently.
00:32:02.000But election fraud is pretty popular in a number of places, not least Bridgeport election.
00:32:08.000Bridgeport, in Bridgeport, in the Bridgeport election.
00:32:11.000This is, I think, a mayoral campaign rather than, I don't know, a state or federal one.
00:32:17.000I don't know all of your political words, I've just got an overview.
00:32:20.000Let's have a look at this particular piece of election fraud, see if you can spot it.
00:32:23.000First, election fraud has been thrown around way too many times in the past few years without any serious evidence to back up those claims.
00:32:33.000But tonight, an election for mayor has just been thrown out by a judge who concluded that fraud did impact a recent vote and ordered a new election.
00:32:49.000Happened in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where a state superior court judge has just ordered a new election between incumbent mayor Joe Gannon and his mayoral primary opponent, John Gomez, after Gomez successfully argued that he was the victim of absentee ballot fraud.
00:33:08.000Stunning video put out by the Gomez campaign appeared to show a Bridgeport City employee and local Democratic Party official walking up to a drop box in the early hours of the morning of September 5th and making multiple deposits of absentee ballots.
00:33:28.000You can see a woman who the Gomez campaign identifies as Bridgeport City Hall employee Wanda Jeter-Patiki Walking up to the drop box and placing multiple ballots inside.
00:33:42.000And a few seconds later, she comes back, does it again.
00:33:45.000That could still be democracy, though.
00:33:47.000She maybe just really thinks that person should be mayor.
00:34:47.000We talked briefly with McCulloch a second ago about the Anthony Fauci-run lab in Montana that experimented with coronaviruses shipped in from Wuhan a year before the Covid pandemic began.
00:35:06.000taxpayer money, also if you're an American and you funded this, U.S.
00:35:11.000taxpayer money was used to experiment with coronaviruses from a Chinese lab thought to be the source of the COVID pandemic more than a year before the global outbreak and investigation was found.
00:35:21.000The National Institutes of Health, NIH, under Dr. Antony Fauci's leadership, infected 12 Egyptian fruit bats with... What is their issue with bats?
00:35:32.000Is it that the Batman franchise has really got to them?
00:35:36.000Fruit bats with a SARS-like virus called WIVI.
00:35:47.000The W1V1 coronavirus was shipped from the Wuhan lab the FBI believes caused the COVID pandemic.
00:35:54.000It's good the FBI putting a shift in because Lately, remember we had those couple of guys from the FBI on the show, those whistleblowers, that say January 6th was investigated in a peculiar way.
00:36:04.000Okay, so they're doing some good investigations right now.
00:36:07.000They believe that it was shipped in from the Wuhan lab, the FBI say, excuse me, that caused the Covid pandemic and was tested on bats.
00:36:17.000Mary Lanzu, that's not how you get bats.
00:36:19.000What kind of lab are you running out doing deals for bats like junkies scoring bats in a street?
00:36:26.000The research revealed this week by a campaign group is more evidence of ties between the US government and the Wuhan lab as well as the funding of dangerous virus research across the globe.
00:36:35.000Well, There's credit Bobby Kennedy, where it's due.
00:36:38.000He's been telling us about this stuff for a long, long time.
00:36:42.000There's credit Peter McCulloch, where it's due.
00:36:44.000You know, there have been people trying to tell us this stuff for a long, long while.
00:37:13.000Misinformation and disinformation is carrying people to believe things that are untrue.
00:37:21.000Vaccinations is a perfect example of it.
00:37:24.000Any vaccine we distribute to Canadians will be safe for Canadians.
00:37:29.000There are people who've probably gotten very sick from vaccinations.
00:37:33.000Every vaccine that is approved is safe for Canadians, is uncompromising.
00:37:38.000Individuals are allowed to make their own choices.
00:37:40.000There may be all sorts of different reasons why someone is hesitant to get vaccinated.
00:37:45.000There's no more excuses to not get your shot.
00:37:48.000And therefore, while not forcing anyone To get vaccinated.
00:37:52.000Enforcement measures in place will make sure that everyone is vaccinated.
00:37:58.000I chose to make sure that all the incentives.
00:38:01.000Travelers across the country need to be fully vaccinated.
00:38:05.000People coming into the country need to be fully vaccinated.
00:38:08.000were there. Don't get to work in the public service, don't get to go to movie theatres or
00:38:12.000gyms or restaurants to encourage Canadians to get vaccinated and that's exactly what they did. We got
00:38:17.000vaccinated to a higher level than just about any other of our peer countries. Unknown causes was
00:38:23.000the leading cause of death in Alberta last year. Oh no!
00:38:28.000Well done Milk Bar TV, whoever you are for that piece of, that's a beautiful piece of content and that's terrifying because what that's presented to all of us is what liberalism is supposed to mean, the kind of tone and timbre of tolerance, the nomenclature of inclusivity.
00:38:48.000But meanwhile, round the back, what's that?
00:39:16.000It's a good one because it's us talking about how YouTube are promoting legacy media content and shutting down alternative media and monopolizing.
00:39:25.000But before we watch that, I'm going to give you a little choice.
00:39:47.000That's that new coronavirus that we're going to be getting any day now.
00:39:50.000Press 1 if you want to see a story about the WEF discussing how only rich people will be allowed to travel or 2 if you want to see a story about Pfizer's new Covid flu combo vaccine stroke risks.
00:40:06.000Let me just wait for the rumble stream.
00:40:08.000To catch up our Awaken Wonders on locals there who get first access to our content like our Jordan Peterson interview, our Tucker Carlson interview, chat we just had with Brett Weinstein just then.
00:40:17.000Like you can watch that stuff first if you are an Awaken Wonder.
00:40:21.000Plus you can support us as we try to change the world by creating a political movement that opposes this sort of tyranny.
00:40:34.000So let's see, let's have a look at the WF saying that Surely only rich people will be able to travel, which is sort of what happened during the last pandemic anyway, remember?
00:40:44.000Sorry, that's uh... Which button's that on, guys?
00:44:38.000I'm telling you this because we've just received an email from YouTube telling us that they're going to further
00:44:45.000impede, control, shut down and censor our channel.
00:44:48.000As you know, a month or so ago, the government reached out to all social media sites demanding that I be demonetized and many, including YouTube, complied.
00:44:57.000Of course, Rumble, which is our home, opposed it and notably Elon Musk and ex Stood up to the establishment and I'm very grateful for that.
00:45:06.000This censorship is being amplified now while they simultaneously continue to promote legacy media outlets on their platform.
00:45:13.000You will have noticed it's become increasingly difficult to oppose, for example, war and military action.
00:45:20.000It's become increasingly difficult to criticize big companies and And also, generally, we're living in a more and more fractured space.
00:45:28.000I would say we need more decentralization, more ability to freely communicate, more opportunity to form new alliances against the establishment interests that are plainly trying to control us.
00:45:39.000They're not interested in relatively insignificant figures like me.
00:45:42.000They are interested in total control of the population.
00:45:46.000And they're heading in the right direction, because you know that legislation is being passed all around the world that allows them to penalise social media companies that promote or platform content that they don't like.
00:45:55.000Of course it always starts with hate speech, because they know, generally speaking, we are opposed to hate.
00:45:59.000But it always ends up advancing the interests of the powerful.
00:46:02.000Firstly, we'll talk through the email that we've received and how it affects us and our ability to communicate freely with you.
00:46:08.000Let's get into it where it affects me and then let's move on to the rest of the world.
00:46:12.000So here's the email sent to our channel.
00:46:14.000To help keep our community safe, we limit some of our more powerful features to channels who have built and maintained a positive channel history or who have provided verification.
00:46:23.000As of now, your channel doesn't have sufficient channel history.
00:46:27.000This is the kind of Kafkaesque bureaucratic language that fascinates me.
00:46:35.000Don't you notice again and again this kind of peculiar, banal, anodyne bureaucratic language being used to prevent people communicating, to prevent people being It's for your safety, it's for your convenience.
00:46:45.000Have you noticed an amplification in the police state?
00:46:48.000Have you noticed police having more powers to enter your property, to prevent you from leaving your home, to persecute you for something you've said online?
00:46:57.000Meanwhile, it appears that other types of crime are escalating.
00:47:01.000Often, this is masked by this kind of bureaucratic language.
00:47:05.000Again, we're not grandiose about our importance or impact, although some recent events made me think, God, you must be making some sort of difference for people to spend this amount of time on you.
00:47:13.000But when you see an enormous, unprecedentedly large organisation like Google going to such trouble to shut down independent voices, and you look at the wider content, again, the legislation that's being passed globally, then you realise something important is happening.
00:47:57.000No one is willing to say this is the person that's in a position of authority, this is why they've made that decision, if you want to refute that decision here is how you do it.
00:48:06.000The great criticism, one of, other than the genocides, of communism was that it created vast centralized bureaucracies where ordinary people were irrelevant and could be controlled.
00:49:07.000You won't be able to do things like...
00:49:08.000Get higher daily limits for live streams, shorts and video uploads, embed live streams, pin comments, add external links to your video descriptions.
00:49:16.000That obviously prevents us making revenue through advertisements, which is obviously important to our business, but also prevents us linking to any external site like Rumble.
00:49:24.000And you might think, well, it's competition, but it's only competition in the same way.
00:49:28.000This is not McDonald's versus Burger King.
00:49:30.000This is McDonald's versus your mum making you a burger because you didn't want to go to school that day.
00:49:48.000When corporations and the state are in lockstep together, that is truly what fascism is.
00:49:53.000There are other inflections, there are other exorcisations of that power.
00:49:56.000There are potentially minority groups that are persecuted.
00:49:59.000That is of course one of the worst aspects.
00:50:00.000There are new rules that are undemocratically brought about.
00:50:03.000But what we What we are seeing, I believe, is an advance towards centralised authoritarianism being oddly legitimised as protecting people and helping people and protecting a community.
00:50:15.000Any of you that saw our interview with Dr Robert Epstein will know that Google have an incredible amount of power when it comes to managing media spaces.
00:50:24.000news narratives. His work is incredible. He showed how, for example, Google can
00:50:28.000promote stories that could change the outcome of an election. Of course, if
00:50:32.000whenever you Google something, what comes up is favorable to one political party
00:50:36.000or one political movement, say, obviously that's going to influence the reality
00:50:39.000that people live within. Now, Google don't want anyone else doing that. Google
00:50:44.000don't want anyone else offering an alternative version of reality, an
00:50:47.000alternative narrative. For example, a decentralized world where the individual
00:50:51.000is sacred, where community is sacred, where we have the maximum amount of
00:50:55.000ability to control our own communities through democracy, debate, discussion. The
00:51:00.000fact is that due to technologies, miraculous technologies like this, that
00:51:03.000have to a degree come about as a result of competition and capitalism, but also
00:51:06.000have received significant funding from, for example, the CIA in the early days of
00:51:10.000some of those organizations. Those are stories you are familiar with. They don't
00:51:12.000want anyone rising up now to give alternative versions of reality. For
00:51:18.000example, Rumble, our home. They don't want that happening and here's further
00:51:22.000evidence of that fact. In a significant event leading up to the Republican
00:51:27.000presidential primary debate in August, Rumble was granted exclusive rights to
00:51:33.000However, it became apparent that Google search had buried references to Rumble's stream of the debate.
00:51:38.000Users searching for the debate stream on Google were ushered to links from YouTube, Fox News, and various news reports instead of Rumble.
00:51:46.000Remember, Rumble was streaming the presidential primaries for free, whereas Fox News was charging.
00:51:51.000So even if you just reduce yourself to a consumer, and believe me, they've reduced you to that.
00:51:55.000You're getting a worse deal even from that narrow and limiting perspective.
00:51:59.000This incident holds significant implications for digital free speech and competition in the online sphere.
00:52:04.000It also raises important questions about the role and responsibilities of dominant internet platforms in relation to smaller emerging entities.
00:52:12.000When we view this through the lens of censorship, It serves as a poignant reminder of how tech giants can shape what is accessible to users.
00:52:19.000Practices like these could lead to a monopolistic information environment where curiosity choice and access are limited.
00:52:26.000Rumble is currently in discovery regarding legal action against Google, accusing the tech behemoth of Anti-competitive practices Rumble alleges that Google is unfairly promoting its own video platform, YouTube, at the expense of competitors.
00:52:42.000It becomes about what information you have access to.
00:52:45.000It becomes about who determines what version of reality is promoted and what ...version of reality is de-amplified to the point you're not even aware that it's there.
00:52:55.000Ultimately, because of the ability for these monopolies to form powerful relationships with the state, it creates the possibility for centralization and authoritarianism on an unprecedented scale.
00:53:06.000If that gets underwritten by law, as is currently happening, you'll soon be in a space where you literally can't say anything that's anti-establishment.
00:53:14.000They've already created that principle by saying, these things can never be said.
00:53:38.000The lawsuit, which has drawn significant attention in the tech and legal sectors, claims that Google's algorithms unduly prioritise YouTube content in search results.
00:53:47.000Additionally, Rumble points to the pre-installation of the YouTube app on Android devices as a major competitive disadvantage for other video platforms.
00:53:54.000You literally can't get Rumble on an Android.
00:53:57.000Now, some people might say that's because there is hate speech on rumble or bad language, but you'll find hate speech and bad language wherever you find human beings.
00:54:05.000And using that to delegitimize and shut down what ultimately amounts to an alternative platform that could ultimately house and does ultimately house anti-establishment views is censorship.
00:54:17.000By all means, only watch YouTube, or only watch the BBC, or MSNBC, or whatever it is you're into.
00:54:23.000But you should certainly have the ability to choose, shouldn't you?
00:54:26.000Now it's not just about shutting down alternative platforms, it's about promoting a particular news agenda.
00:54:31.000Remember, we continually tell you, here on our channel, the function of the media is not to give you information.
00:54:36.000Here's some information, make your own choice.
00:54:37.000You might get that from a great journalist like Matt Taibbi, or Glenn Greenwald, or Barry Weiss.
00:54:41.000Here's some information, you work it out for yourself.
00:54:43.000But what you'll get in legacy media is the Amplification of the agenda of the powerful.
00:54:48.000The normalization of the agenda of the powerful.
00:54:50.000Oh, everyone's staying indoors now and wearing masks.
00:54:52.000Okay, are we sure we've done enough tests?
00:54:54.000Yeah, yeah, tests have been done on that.
00:54:55.000Okay, everyone, this is gonna happen now.
00:55:08.000But don't hand over that degree of power to centralised authoritarian regimes and organisations that do not have your best interests at heart because they want you neutralised.
00:55:22.000YouTube is intensifying its efforts to boost news content from what it thinks are credible sources.
00:55:28.000Amid an era where people are demonstrating an aversion to traditional mass media outlets.
00:55:33.000Currently, YouTube is launching a revamped user interface designed to enhance the viewing experience by introducing additional news-oriented content suggestions when users are engaged in watching news videos.
00:55:44.000Google, the parent company of YouTube, plans to channel $1.6 million into increasing the volume of news-oriented content on its short-form video feature, Shorts.
00:55:53.000Remember how the news has become more politicised?
00:55:55.000Remember how the culture has become more politicised?
00:55:58.000Notice now that shorts, which used to be make-up tutorials, someone scoring a touchdown or a goal or something, now even that is becoming increasingly politicised and not in an unbiased way, in a way that operates in alliance with their policy.
00:56:10.000Notice how we're seeing legacy media outlets promoted, WHO guidelines accepted, legislation passed that allows control and surveillance.
00:56:19.000This, I believe, is to prohibit the natural human tendency towards the maximum amount of freedom.
00:56:25.000That doesn't mean freedom from responsibility.
00:56:27.000The price of freedom is responsibility.
00:56:28.000But your only responsibility now is to just consume and sit there And if you do not comply, believe me, there will be consequences, particularly if your non-compliance starts to make any kind of difference.
00:56:42.000An example of this new feature entails that a user watching a video about floods in Pakistan published by PBS will be directed towards more related videos about the same event.
00:56:51.000This also includes major news publishers such as the Associated Press.
00:56:55.000Look at how they're funded and regulated.
00:56:59.000You know how they're regulated and funded and who their biggest advertisers are so you know what interests they have.
00:57:05.000You know what they promote and you know what they deny.
00:57:07.000Initial deployment of this improved watch page experience will take place across 40 countries on mobile and will later be extended to desktop and living room interfaces.
00:57:16.000So essentially, your reality is being curated now.
00:57:19.000What you see and don't see will be controlled.
00:57:21.000In a sense, what they're trying to do is return to the previous era, where if you were in America, you're getting your news from CNN or NBC or whatever.
00:57:29.000And if you're in my country, BBC, and if you're in Australia or Canada, do you see what the legislation is doing?
00:57:34.000We're going to just help you and protect you.
00:57:52.000Besides the interface overhaul, YouTube also intends to invest a substantial $1.6 million to boost the creation of short-form news content on its short service in partnership with 20 organizations across 10 nations.
00:58:03.000This initiative will involve collaboration with news outlets that already generate long-form content on YouTube.
00:58:08.000The essence of digital platforms like YouTube lies in their ability to offer a level playing field for all creators, regardless of their size or affiliation.
00:58:15.000However, with this new venture, YouTube risks alienating a significant portion of its content creator community as it moves to give more real estate to its legacy competitors.
00:58:23.000In a sense, this is just like colonisation.
00:58:25.000Initially, you have this apparently new, uninhabited terrain and territory, and people or corporations or nations, whatever you want to call it, arrive, oh wow, let's prospect for gold, let's get involved in the fur trade.
00:58:40.000The internet for a minute was about miracles like Napster, Or uprisings in the Middle East.
00:58:46.000Now what it's about is how do we tile over that space with the logos, the image of Google, or Facebook, or whoever else is willing to comply with the broader, deeper, harder to observe, elitist, globalist agenda.
00:59:00.000It may also inadvertently stifle the diversity of perspectives essential for a well-rounded public discourse.
00:59:25.000What we would all benefit from is less centralised authority, less monopolies, less government intervention, less legacy media power, less big tech power.
00:59:35.000But the tendency is towards more in each one of those cases because they don't care about you, except in so much as they want to control your ability to make decisions for yourself, and they are creating the conditions where that is inevitable.
00:59:47.000A fair analysis of the 100 most subscribed YouTube news channels worldwide found that the majority of top news channels on the platform are not independent.
00:59:55.00083 of the top 100 YouTube news channels are corporate media, meaning owned and funded by large companies or conglomerates.
01:00:01.000Only 4 of the top 100 news channels are independently run.
01:00:04.000While YouTube offers the possibility for independent sites to reach a wider audience, its most subscribed news channels remain largely reflective of the corporate biases of the global media landscape as a whole.
01:00:15.000Essentially, what was once a space where independent voices could thrive and flourish, and independent voices and independent businesses and independent movements could all come to the fore, of course the monopolistic, elitist establishment goes, we can't have that going on.
01:00:31.000You can have someone like Robert F. Kennedy just bypassing legacy media and chatting to independent news and having a significant impact.
01:00:37.000You can have the Trump phenomena, you can have Brexit in the UK.
01:00:41.000Now it doesn't matter whether or not you agree with the outcomes of those elections, what you have to observe is populism, or the ability for people to be reached in different ways and be empowered in different ways and to have opinions, sometimes, perhaps you might argue if you are an authoritarian and parental person, for ill.
01:00:54.000I don't think ordinary people should be able to make decisions.
01:00:57.000Well you just have to acknowledge that if you believe that, you don't believe in democracy.
01:01:00.000And a lot of people actually don't believe in democracy.
01:01:03.000A lot of people don't believe in many of the things they claim to.
01:01:08.000What they believe in is I want my team to win.
01:01:11.000The two knowable exceptions to Big Tech's willingness to comply with the government were Chris Pavlovsky at Rumble and Elon Musk at X. Those two voices were alone in saying, we're not playing this game.
01:01:22.000And that's a bold move because there's legislation being passed all around the world to punish, persecute, and even in some cases maybe imprison Big Tech platform owners that stand up against this flow towards censorship.
01:01:34.000Demonstrating its commitment to upholding principles of free expression, X recently affirmed that it would continue to financially support comedian Russell Brand.
01:01:41.000Elon Musk has promoted the position of not penalising account holders unless they deviate from the platform's guidelines or violate local laws.
01:01:48.000Detailing its stance in a letter addressed to Dame Carolyn Dainich, who chairs the Commons Culture, Media and Sports Committee and who was widely criticised for asking platforms whether they would allow Brand to earn a living from online platforms.
01:01:59.000Which is a bit like a mob boss asking you if you want your legs broken or not.
01:02:05.000I would like to remind you that accidents will happen.
01:02:08.000The company explained that its resolution to allow brands financial pursuits on the platform aligns with its intent to protect free expression.
01:02:14.000It added, we do not take action on accounts where they have not violated our own rules or local laws.
01:02:19.000This is essential to protect free expression on the service.
01:02:22.000In order to ensure that all people can participate in the public conversation freely and safely, all content on X, including monetized content, is subject to our user agreement and the X rules.
01:03:23.000Dame Caroline had written to Linda Iaccarino, Twitter chief's executive, saying the committee was concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform.
01:03:30.000She'd also asked if Mr. Muskan intervened in Mr. Brown's case after the social network's billionaire owner appeared to defend him.
01:03:35.000Video site Rumble, where Mr. Brand regularly posts videos, responded to Dame Caroline saying,
01:03:40.000We regard it as deeply inappropriate and dangerous that the UK Parliament would attempt to control
01:03:44.000who is allowed to speak on our platform or to earn a living from doing so.
01:03:47.000It's a very important principle, this.
01:03:49.000It's very important and it includes and involves other principles like innocent until proven guilty.
01:03:55.000It's granting further authority to the government and big tech to deperson, declassify, shut down and remove voices that, in my case I would say, fundamentally disagree with their authority.
01:04:06.000Disagree that what they're doing is democratic.
01:05:12.000I'm more interested in where this leads.
01:05:14.000I'm more interested in what this indicates about what's happening in the culture.
01:05:17.000I'm more interested in what this tells us about the last three years and perhaps the next three years, particularly in the context of all of this new legislature that seems to be about controlling free speech and shutting it down under the auspices and camouflage of protecting us.
01:05:29.000I don't want to be protected by the state and big tech.
01:05:54.000And that will never happen if you grant centralised authoritarian power to this new and horrifying partnership by, other than a few notable exceptions, big tech and the state.
01:06:05.000Even Mussolini knew the word for that.
