00:08:14.000In this video, you're going to see the future.
00:08:26.000Hey you Awakening Wanderers, thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:08:31.000We are in the midst of a convention of chaos, of course, because we live at a time where there is no must, no solid principle around which to build political movements.
00:08:43.000It seems to me extraordinary that there is not an emergent force able to capture the popular vote of all of us that must be utterly disillusioned with the hypocrisy and corruption that are the symptoms of globalism.
00:08:58.000As a result, Kamala Harris's Democratic Party convention...
00:09:03.000is confusing and baffling and has extraordinary protests and peculiar measures, shops being boarded up, half-hearted mask wearing protesters, no policies as such except for measures to address price gouging that don't even make proper sense and yet elsewhere There are serious mysteries to address.
00:09:26.000For example, if you were willing to take on big food, who no doubt are benefiting from high grocery prices, isn't the first thing you'd do ensure that we stop eating delicious poisons as part of our daily diet?
00:09:39.000Seed oils and sugars, the kind of things we talk about regular on this show.
00:09:43.000Cully Means has educated us brilliantly About the true dangers of big food.
00:09:47.000So we'll be talking about how the Democratic Party Convention is an illustration of deep hypocrisy and corruption.
00:09:55.000If you're watching this on YouTube, of course, we're not going to venture into such territory on terrain that is so strongly censored, so readily surveilled.
00:10:05.000Even your comments now and amidst the comments generated by genuine human beings, you will see the bots angrily attacking.
00:10:13.000But in Rumble, The simple fact is this.
00:10:29.000I know that Negligent Banana is a real man.
00:10:32.000And I know that Synchronicity525 is a real woman because we meet live.
00:10:36.000In fact, one of the advantages of being an Awaken Wonder is the ability to attend our live shows.
00:10:42.000If you're an Awaken Wonder, you can come and see me live anywhere in the world.
00:10:45.000I'm going to be performing in America later on this year.
00:10:48.000I'm performing in the UK this Thursday on the same day that we'll be doing our Kamala's live speech, watch along, you're not gonna wanna miss that.
00:10:58.000So, become an AwakendWonder to get tickets to all of my live events around the world.
00:11:02.000There's a process, by the way, you can't just show up and go, I'm an AwakendWonder, honey!
00:11:07.000No, you have to demonstrate that you are, you have to apply for it in advance, but if you're a local subscriber, you do get tickets for nothing.
00:11:15.000Okay, let's see what's going on in this crazy, dirty, little world of ours that we're trying our best to tolerate.
00:11:22.000First of all, let's have a little look at AI's remarkable abilities.
00:11:26.000I've not seen this, but you may have done.
00:11:28.000This is Trump and Kamala creating babies together.
00:11:32.000Surely this has got to be the solution that we are looking for.
00:11:36.000🎵 Yeah, yeah, is that what we want?
00:12:02.000Many of us have of course been influenced and possibly, hmm, certainly swayed by occupying these spaces.
00:12:10.000One of the things I think that we could be doing together is ensuring But the arguments that are continually used to legitimise censorship and surveillance are made redundant by our ability to discern.
00:12:24.000Now of course it's pretty clear that that was some very brilliant AI.
00:12:29.000But sometimes the misinformation arguments are used to legitimise censorship.
00:12:34.000Based on the idea, of course, that you and I are not able to assess truth for ourselves.
00:12:39.000That we are, by our nature, hysterical, and by a pessimistic purview of humanity itself, that we are incapable of controlling our emotions, coming into alliance, living life through good faith.
00:12:52.000These are the kind of arguments that we have to be able to rebut through our responsible conduct.
00:12:59.000Now, let's have a look at Joe Rogan talking about what it's like to live in online spaces and in particular how we were all affected during the pandemic period was which was one of the first times we saw how the media would marshal a narrative in order to ensure that authority could be imposed.
00:13:18.000Here's Joe Rogan talking about at the beginning of Covid he had a very particular perspective on power and media and conspiracy theories and where he stands now.
00:14:19.000Certainly the Covid period provided us with some new perspectives, there's no doubt about it.
00:14:25.000And while some of those more salacious views and opinions might be appealing and mull over, surely what we should really be thinking about is whether or not there is a trend towards centralising power and limiting the freedom of individuals.
00:14:40.000In my country, the UK, We are seeing measures that would have once been inconceivable easily implemented.
00:14:49.000Facial recognition tech, curfews being discussed and murmured about.
00:14:55.000Everywhere in the world the police are becoming militarized.
00:14:58.000Everywhere in the world farmers are being placed under incredible pressure.
00:15:02.000Nowhere in the world are we talking about decentralizing power, running communities based on budgets that are allocated based on whatever taxation is levied at a nationwide level, so that at the smallest possible level, communities are controlled by the people that live in them, allowing us true diversity, true freedom, and releasing us from the ongoing grip of continual cultural tension, much of which seems to me to be utterly unnecessary.
00:15:33.000I'd love to, actually, could you flip over a page, because I want to look at asset number 28, which is, in the UK, prisoners are being released to make room for new, more important prisoners.
00:15:46.000So, who decides what is a crime these days, and who decides who goes down?
00:17:22.000Has anybody pursued successfully any pharmaceutical company I know that's happening in various states in the United States of America, but the COVID inquiry in the UK was curiously suspended prior to the address of pharmaceutical profits.
00:17:39.000These things are interesting and, I believe, extremely important.
00:17:43.000That's why it's unlikely that Kamala Harris's price-gouging methods will seriously impact Big Food.
00:17:50.000If you want to impact Big Food, You should ensure that the food that they manufacture and distribute is healthy.
00:17:57.000You should ensure that there is real candour around what a human diet ought consist of.
00:18:03.000Whether or not we should be eating seed oils in unprecedented... to unprecedented levels.
00:18:09.000Whether or not processed sugars are good for human beings.
00:18:12.000Whether or not there's a reason that there's an obesity pandemic and a diabetes pandemic and many other pandemics besides.
00:18:20.000Cancer appears to be surging suddenly, as does heart disease.
00:19:06.000We'll let you know what a crime is when we know what we need to imprison people for, when we know what dissent looks like.
00:19:13.000Who among us trusts any of these authorities anymore?
00:19:17.000Who among us doesn't yearn for something approaching real justice, lucid conversation, true representative democracy, whether you're watching us right now in France or Russia, the United States of America or Senegal, you know that you are led by a corrupt government.
00:19:33.000You know that globalist cartels using bureaucratic cover are able to govern and control.
00:19:39.000You know that your government lives in the surface of powerful corporations and sees you as a serf class.
00:19:45.000And if you didn't know it a matter of minutes ago, you know it now and it's something we'll be discussing.
00:19:50.000over the course of this show when we look at the somewhat ironically named Democratic Party Convention.
00:19:55.000Remember you can watch along with us as Kamala Harris gives her speech this coming Thursday.
00:19:59.000We'll be doing a joyful watch along and if you're an awake and wonder you'll be able to attend our live show.
00:20:06.000You can turn up and see me live wherever we are in the world as this movement and campaign grows and spreads as true freedom is enjoyed everywhere that it ought be and there's surely not a nation upon the earth that doesn't crave Real freedom.
00:20:21.000Let's see what those crazy Australians are doing.
00:20:32.000I mean, have you just not noticed that everywhere in the world agriculture is under punitive attack?
00:20:39.000Look, farmers everywhere from Sri Lanka, India, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, the United States of America are all experiencing attacks.
00:20:45.000Well, that's because there's a A global pollution crisis and we're trying to, you know, address it at once.
00:20:52.000Doesn't seem like compassion and care are the beating heart of this beast, does it, elsewhere?
00:20:58.000Doesn't seem when it comes to dealing with poverty or dealing with crime or dealing with the challenges that come from migration, that compassion is what governs.
00:21:08.000It seems that And more important than that, the attempt to mask their intentions.
00:21:13.000Negative impulses always masked behind apparent good intention.
00:21:18.000Always an attempt to look like they're trying to help us out.
00:21:20.000God knows what they're doing in Australian boozers that warrants digital ID.
00:21:25.000Australians won't have to pull out their licence at the pub anymore under a gold standard digital ID being developed, Government Services Minister Bill Shearer.
00:21:33.000We need Australians to agree to carry digital ID.
00:21:50.000Shorten is today unveiling the new initiative.
00:21:53.000It means when you enter a club or hotel, a digital token will be sent to that business to verify you are who you say you are.
00:22:00.000It also cracks down on scammers by limiting data shared with businesses.
00:22:05.000We've got to crack down on those scammers using data shared with business.
00:22:10.000The idea that scammers are the real issue and that the real scam isn't your government and mine and the globalists that seek to turn us against one another and benefit From social disruption, because if we can't learn how to protest peacefully, if we can't learn to form new alliances, if we can't form the level of tolerance and robust unification required to oppose these systems, I don't know how we're going to get out of this.
00:22:35.000Hey, listen, if you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be available for a couple more minutes.
00:22:38.000I want to have a look at this mystery that surrounds Stonehenge.
00:22:46.000Nobody knows who they were or what they were doing.
00:22:49.000How did Stonehenge ever get established?
00:22:52.000How did they move those stones, potentially from hundreds of miles away?
00:22:58.000What is it that we are unable to understand?
00:23:00.000And while we squabble on a matchbox worth of intellectual territory, is it not possible that you and I, and all of us, could be exploring a vast new cosmology of radiant new ideas, iridescent with possibility and hope, And does this story about Stonehenge and the mysteries that it may yet conceal offer us true hope?
00:23:22.000That if we haven't been told the truth about history, of course we're not being told the truth about the present.
00:23:29.000Nobody knows where they were or what they were doing.
00:23:32.000The mystery of Stonehenge just got deeper.
00:23:35.000New research reveals that 5,000 years ago, the altar stone, largely buried at the centre of the ring, was brought from northern Scotland and not from Wales as previously thought.
00:23:47.000Somehow, Neolithic people with only primitive tools moved a six-tonne rock the length of Britain.
00:23:53.000The scientists So sort of patronising, aren't we, about people that hail from an era about which we have limited information.
00:24:01.000Primitive people with Stone Age tools and dirty, smelly bottoms that probably were difficult to discern whether it was an armpit aroma or a genital aroma.
00:24:12.000We're somehow able to worship astral entities and beings beyond our understanding, almost as if history is a narrative constructed by people that benefit from concealment rather than a factual document, something that's been argued by, well, yes, David Icke, but also Michel Foucault.
00:24:34.000However you look at it, if you look at it at all, we're being lied to, baby, and the Henges is just one great, bloody, This sort of transportation distance is amazing.
00:24:56.000It looks like a sandstone rock that's micaceous, so it's a little bit glittery.
00:25:01.000You would think, oh wow, there's rocks like this in pretty close to here.
00:25:05.000I would have expected it to come from there, but no.
00:25:15.000Well, actually, when we tried to examine it, it went, like, see you!
00:25:18.000And it, like, tried to headbutt me, and it smelled of alcohol.
00:25:22.000Now, that's the kind of thing you used to be able to say in the good old days, make jokes about Scottish people drinking too much and being violent, and certainly my children are.
00:27:39.000They still continue to offer you information that's using the same purview and the same paradigm as the information that would have you believe that in the past, everyone was just like idiots, loafing around, baffled and absolutely confused by the world.
00:27:56.000Well, perhaps this is the time for us to accept that what we're engaged in now is the management of information through the creation of categories, ironically, of misinformation and disinformation that will be used to shut down information that's not harmful to you but information that could wake you up.
00:28:12.000And elsewhere what you'll get is strongly curated media spaces so that you're only given information that will make you vote and consume in certain ways and obviously behave more deeply than even voting and consuming in ways that you don't even understand.
00:28:28.000Entering into a kind of, I would suggest, a psychological gridlock where your behaviours and even your thoughts will be subject to monitoring.
00:28:34.000I'm not suggesting the technology exists yet to literally neurologically monitor the activity of your mind, but by God, when it exists, that's how it will be used.
00:28:45.000When you cast your eye across history, what you were told and what likely seems true and untrue, some of it untrue simply because we do not really have the ability to assess the information, but some of it untrue because we're not ever granted the opportunity to consider that this is anything other than an ongoing progression that we're engaged in.
00:29:08.000Some of their nipple hairs were over a yard long.
00:29:11.000Whereas these days, we have washing machines and electric cars.
00:29:16.000Those dirty, bloody idiots... Oh, hold on a minute.
00:29:18.000They were moving stones for hundreds and hundreds of miles.
00:29:21.000Is it possible that they were able to use consciousness in ways that, to us, would seem like magic?
00:29:27.000Is it possible that there were civilizations that go way beyond what we could appreciate and understand?
00:29:32.000The answer is yes, it is possible, because we're dealing to some degree with the infinite and the eternal.
00:29:37.000Perhaps not when it comes to terrestrial matters, which can be monitored and measured, but certainly when it comes to the potential for communication, when it comes for the possibility of Even means of communication, means of transportation that are beyond what we currently understand.
00:29:54.000Certainly worth us considering rather than living in a perpetual state of haughty superciliousness.

00:32:41.000Do you know that Rowan Atkinson is an incredibly shy, reticent, and guarded man?
00:32:47.000He likes driving fast cars, and he's perhaps one of the greatest clowns that the modern world has ever known.
00:32:53.000Certainly one of the most famous comedians.
00:32:55.000How extraordinary then that Rowan Atkinson felt compelled to testify against the levels of censorship that are becoming normalized in our culture.
00:33:05.000And how that's an attack in effect on humanity itself to laugh, to live in good faith, to recognize that even if you disagree with me and I dispute your way of living and your manner of communicating, in good faith we have to believe in freedom of speech.
00:33:21.000That freedom of speech is chief among our values.
00:33:25.000High, high in the hierarchy of principles that must be regarded as near sacred, and perhaps even literally sacred.
00:33:42.000You might have seen it when it first came out in 2023.
00:33:46.000I know I did, because I'm a big fan of Rowan Atkinson, but certainly it's become very popular now.
00:33:51.000Likely in light of the UK's new attitude towards censorship.
00:33:57.000Likely in light of the fact that the UK is making much of the incarceration of recent participants in protests.
00:34:07.000You, of course, like me, condemn all violence.
00:34:12.000You, like me, of course, are appalled and disgusted by racism, knowing That unity among us is the first step to being able to oppose those that control us.
00:34:23.000And you, like me, will love this articulate defense of free speech and great comedy, coming from the genius that is Rowan Atkinson.
00:34:33.000My starting point when it comes to the consideration of any issue relating to free speech is my passionate belief that the second most precious thing in life is the right to express yourself freely.
00:34:46.000The most precious thing in life, I think, is food in your mouth.
00:34:50.000And the third most precious is a roof over your head.
00:34:54.000But a fixture for me in the number two slot is free expression just below the need to sustain life itself.
00:35:03.000That is because I have enjoyed free expression in this country all my professional life and fully expect to continue to do so.
00:35:12.000Personally, I suspect highly unlikely to be arrested for whatever laws exist to contain free expression because of the undoubtedly privileged position that is afforded to those of a high public profile.
00:35:25.000So my concerns are less for myself and more for those more vulnerable because of their lower profile.
00:35:33.000Like the man arrested in Oxford for calling a police horse gay.
00:35:39.000Or the teenager arrested for calling the Church of Scientology a cult.
00:35:45.000Or the cafe owner arrested for displaying passages from the Bible on a TV screen.
00:35:52.000Rowan Atkinson is a comic genius and genius, if you ask me, implies that there are aspects of what he does that are entirely organic to the point of being inadvertent, like the touch of the nose or his emphasis.
00:36:09.000These are possibly a combination of deliberate and Impulsive, instinctual, comedic cadences.
00:36:18.000That's why I love it on Awake and Wonders, on our locals community, we do analysis of Stand Up Comedy.
00:36:23.000Let's do one on Rowan Atkinson, actually.
00:36:25.000I'd love to do a Rowan Atkinson special, take a few bits of him and get into Rowan Atkinson and what makes him a genius, you know, whether it's Mr Bean or Blackadder.
00:36:34.000And then to learn, of course, that he is a...
00:36:37.000Highly principled individual who in spite of his love of privacy is willing to put his neck on the line because he recognized that something significant is happening.
00:36:47.000That people are being censored and subject to levels of control that are intolerable and in themselves ridiculous.
00:36:56.000Rowan Atkinson's been at the forefront of comedy for a long time.
00:37:00.000I keep mentioning his shyness because I remember Richard Curtis who's been his partner in some of his best projects.
00:37:07.000Saying that when he first met Rowan Atkinson, I think at Cambridge University, he thought that he was a cushion because he was so quiet and demure.
00:37:15.000To see him stridently defending free speech and the examples he's given are such brilliant ones, aren't they?
00:37:22.000Loads of us in the UK have seen examples of people being arrested for social media posts and the principle of free speech is so important that I suppose what has to happen in order for us to accept That censorship is necessary is that the rest of the media environment has to create the conditions where it seems plausible and even necessary.
00:37:42.000This free speech is leading to murder.
00:37:48.000We don't even want to censor free speech, but we have to because of what the free speech is leading to.
00:37:54.000Do you see how the legacy media would benefit from towing the line on that?
00:37:59.000Do you see how the government benefit always from the legitimisation of authority?
00:38:06.000Even if the individuals involved in the policy, or the implementation of the policy, or even leading an entire country, they themselves may not know what they do, but we know what they do.
00:38:20.000We know that they benefit from more authority.
00:38:24.000We know they benefit from creating conditions that advance the interests of the most powerful institutions and individuals on the planet.
00:38:33.000Because we had our eyes open during the pandemic.
00:38:35.000We saw once again how a crisis for normal people is an opportunity for Big tech giants, big pharma, governments that are able to regulate and legislate.
00:38:45.000We saw it and we mustn't forget it, and we are now in the midst of a further advance where they will once again increase their grip, increase their stranglehold, and they may relinquish slightly, but it will never go back to the levels that it was before.
00:38:59.000Remember, we're not still in the grips of the measures that were exerted during the pandemic, but it hasn't gone back, has it, to how it was before the pandemic, and it never will.
00:39:10.000And this will happen again, I predict, with successive crises, whether they are wars, or health crises, or nationalised emergencies.
00:39:18.000You'll be able to see for yourself in real time.
00:39:21.000The only thing you have to do is remember.
00:39:23.000And in addition to remembering, you can do this too.
00:39:26.000Demand certain rights, and be willing to protest, always peacefully.
00:39:33.000Always with love in your heart driving you.
00:39:36.000Never the hatred that affords them the ability of regulating and controlling that they crave so plainly and pursue so aggressively.
00:39:45.000I've heard of some of these more ludicrous offences and charges.
00:39:49.000I remember that I had been here before in a fictional context.
00:39:55.000I once did a show called Not The Nine O'Clock News, some years ago, and we did a sketch where Griff Rees-Jones played Constable Savage, a manifestly racist police officer to whom I, as his station commander, is giving a dressing down for arresting a black man on a whole string of ridiculous, trumped-up, and ludicrous charges.
00:40:17.000The charges for which Constable Savage arrested Mr. Winston Cadogu of 55 Mercer Road were these.
00:40:24.000Walking on the cracks in the pavement.
00:40:28.000Walking in a loud shirt in a built-up area during the hours of darkness.
00:40:35.000And one of my favourites, walking around all over the place.
00:40:40.000He was also arrested for urinating in a public convenience and looking at me in a funny way.
00:40:50.000Who would have thought that we would end up with a law that would allow life to imitate art so exactly?
00:40:57.000I read somewhere a defender of the status quo claiming that the fact that the gay horse case was dropped after the arrested man refused to pay the fine, and that the Scientology case was also dropped at some point during the court process, was proof that the law was working well.
00:41:16.000Ignoring the fact that the only reason these cases were dropped was because of the publicity that they had attracted.
00:41:22.000The police sensed that ridicule was just around the corner and withdrew their actions.
00:41:29.000But what about the thousands of other cases that did not enjoy the oxygen of publicity?
00:41:35.000That weren't quite ludicrous enough to attract media attention?
00:41:41.000Even for those actions that were withdrawn, people were arrested, questioned, taken to court, and then released.
00:41:48.000You know, that isn't a law working properly.
00:41:50.000That is censoriousness of the most intimidating kind, guaranteed to have, as Lord Deer says, the chilling effect on free expression and free protest.
00:42:02.000Parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights summarized, as you may know, this whole issue very well by saying, While arresting a protester for using threatening or abusive speech may, depending on the circumstances, be a proportionate response, we do not think that language or behavior that is merely insulting should ever be criminalized in this way.
00:42:25.000The clear problem with the outlawing of insult is that too many things can be interpreted as such.
00:42:33.000Criticism is easily construed as insult by certain parties.
00:42:40.000Sarcasm, unfavorable comparison, merely stating an alternative point of view to the orthodoxy can be interpreted as insult.
00:42:49.000And because so many things can be interpreted as insulted, it's hardly surprising that so many things have been, as the examples I talked about earlier show.
00:42:59.000Although the law under discussion has been on the statute book for over 25 years, Yet another example of comedians clearly having more common sense than politicians and great communicators like Rowan Atkinson being able to illustrate points that might otherwise be lost in endless bureaucracy.
00:43:20.000Always offered to us as protection or convenience.
00:43:24.000Always we're being told that big tech and big government and big business want to keep us safe and want to protect the vulnerable.
00:43:45.000Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:43:48.000Remember, if you're not on Awake and Wonder yet, but come on, you can come see me live anywhere in the world just by following the simple instructions as well as getting access to additional content all of the Time!
00:44:00.000My favourite bit as well is when he goes walking about all over the, walking around all over the place.
00:44:05.000Now, now it's time for today's main story, the Democratic Party convention oxymoronic, with a special emphasis on the moronic, is already underway.
00:44:16.000But at some point Kamala Harris Kamala Harris is going to have to start fronting up and telling us what that party means and what that party stands for because the party convention itself seems to be a maelstrom of chaos where it's being attacked from the left, attacked from the right,
00:44:36.000Protests take place during the convention itself that seem curiously limp-wristed.
00:44:42.000And again, like Rowan Atkinson there, it might be argued, well this is evidence of healthy debate.
00:44:49.000And healthy conversation and the freedom to protest.
00:44:53.000But wait till you see the protest and sort of what it looked like and what it's redolent of and what it seems to be.
00:45:00.000It seems to me that the Democratic Party Convention is a place of mass confusion.
00:45:05.000That Kamala Harris doesn't have a clear understanding of what the party stands for.
00:45:11.000And increasingly we begin to recognise that this is a movement that stands for very little.
00:45:17.000And the people that support it are those that are unwilling to let go of the idea that there is some value somewhere.
00:45:25.000Just symbols and synecdoches of meaning rather than actual true purpose.
00:45:31.000Here's Kamala Harris speaking to the press and it makes you realize why a key part of their presidential campaign is keeping Kamala quiet.
00:45:41.000And that's what our election is about.
00:45:44.000Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy.
00:45:54.000As a democracy, we know there's a duality to the nature of democracy.
00:46:01.000On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact.
00:46:08.000What it does for its people to protect and defend their rights, their liberty, and their freedom.
00:46:16.000Incredibly strong and incredibly fragile.
00:46:25.000I suppose it's a version of democracy that's being described by Kamala there that's like a sort of Trump condom.
00:46:31.000It's the only thing that can prevent Trump bursting forth.
00:46:34.000But what are we being protected from when we're living in the midst of such evident propaganda?
00:46:40.000A system that plainly facilitates globalism, corporatism, corruption, control of the individual, needless and senseless propaganda.
00:46:49.000Everything here seems to be a spectacle or a construct.
00:46:51.000Now I bet a real person created that sign that hangs as the backdrop.
00:46:57.000And the fact that it's designed to look all kind of folky is further evidence that what we're living in is an attempt to make things look real.
00:47:05.000To make it seem like there are politicians and political movements that are connected to ordinary people.
00:47:10.000And that's why there's so much effort put into constructing meme moments.
00:47:15.000You saw one with the Obama phone call to Kamala, like, hey, we're just phoning to support you.
00:47:20.000Oh, you happen to be filming this on a phone.
00:47:22.000You don't think that hours of conversation went into that, ensuring that TikTok, which is a platform that that party seeks to ban, is effectively used?
00:47:32.000Do you know that they're astroturfing the social media space, paying Influencers to speak words of praise for Kamala because organically those words won't occur.
00:47:42.000They're not even capable of popping to a shop and buying a tortilla-based snack without it seeming fake and affected.
00:47:51.000I'm of course talking about the Dorito moment.
00:47:54.000Where Kamala and Tim Waltz attempt to look like a couple of congenial colleagues enjoying themselves in a shop.
00:48:02.000If this is the best they can do when constructing propaganda, Lord alone help us if they were ever granted the opportunity to run the world's most powerful nation.
00:48:49.000Well, what I would suggest is that it's difficult to conjure up fear for imagined spectres when we are so plainly haunted by a Kafkaesque nightmare where advancing bureaucracy facilitates fervor authority Where endless propaganda invites us to believe in a candidate that doesn't know what she herself believes in and while clearly the powerful continue to benefit from conflagrations and conflict on our streets.
00:49:19.000Surely then it's our own morality and our own deep wisdom and our shared wisdom that we can reach together with one another that can defend us from this extraordinary threat.
00:49:33.000Here's the real version of them acquiring Doritos, and I don't know man, it looks like the whole thing is somewhat constructed.
00:49:42.000And didn't you sort of even see a moment where Kamala looked a little bit happy that there was a sort of a moment of something that looked genuine?
00:49:50.000Because there are no genuine policies, there's no genuine attempt to improve the lives of American people.
00:49:55.000Like if you cared, for example, about regulating big food, You'd probably be banning Doritos.
00:50:01.000You'd certainly be ensuring that people knew that the majority of big food snacks are very, very bad for you.
00:50:08.000You'd certainly be supporting farmers.
00:50:10.000You'd be saying, we're not going to centralise farms, we're going to decentralise farms, we're going to empower farmers, we're going to facilitate...
00:50:18.000Ethical, organic farming by empowering farmers, not from top-down edicts that seem designed to impoverish and disempower farmers.
00:50:27.000If you cared about ordinary people, you wouldn't govern the way they govern, and you wouldn't create the kind of propaganda they create.
00:50:33.000Let's have another look at the, uh, what will surely be known as Dorito Gate.
00:50:38.000And a gate made of Doritos would be more useful than a government made of individuals like these.
00:51:13.000You know, because we get on so well, and this is how it'll be when we're running America.
00:51:17.000Like, he'll find the Doritos and present the Doritos, and it won't matter that there's endless forever wars across Europe and across the Middle East, and that we're facilitating endless American misadventure that can endlessly impoverish American taxpayers, and it won't matter that you're being censored and surveilled and offered as the The only token of your freedom, the ability to stare at a screen and consume, and that instead of addressing price gouging, we'll address the disgusting food that you're fed, and instead of offering you tokenistic policies, we'll offer you some meaning, and some truth, and something of value that you'll probably find yourself, because your government ain't gonna find it for you, and maybe it ain't the role of your government to do anything but other
00:52:02.000Then, managed municipality, ensure that there's reasonable defence, and consensual governing, and consensual policing, and consensual justice, all organised through assembly, communication, dialogue and conversation.
00:52:18.000You ain't gonna get that munching away at the old Doritos or anything else, I would contest.
00:52:23.000Let's have a look at the, even the ardent Democrat Party supporters don't know what to believe anymore.
00:52:29.000This is an epitomising image, I would say.
00:52:32.000A pro-Palestine protester wearing a Covid mask demanding justice and a ceasefire in the Middle East.
00:52:43.000A ceasefire and an end to violence and an end to war is surely something that we all believe in.
00:53:26.000Sometimes I feel that the simulation is breaking down.
00:53:30.000That the protester herself, an ardent believer clearly in the token that is the mask, once it was proven that the mask made no difference, now even by the most enthusiastic reckoning, this pandemic is over.
00:53:43.000Many of us believe that the pandemic barely even began.
00:53:47.000Even the most biased and Pfizer-funded science would tell you that those masks were never effective.
00:53:54.000Even Fauci himself acknowledged the masks were not effective.
00:53:57.000So here, in one sense, we have an ardent devotee of the liberalist message.
00:54:05.000Liberalism that no longer means freedom in an Orwellian twist that would be hard to predict except by that great writer.
00:54:12.000On that side of the fence, on that side of this amorphous line, that protester's on board.
00:54:18.000But when it comes now to the Democrat Party's policy on Israel-Palestine, well, it turns out that she has to throw rocks and protest because she ain't going to get what she wants from her leaders.
00:55:08.000Because even CNN, and I'll tell you this, I'm genuinely confused by this because...
00:55:13.000I do consider the media, the legacy media, the traditional media, to entirely be on board with the amplification of the globalist, centralist message.
00:55:22.000That could mean Kamala Harris, could mean Keir Starmer, could mean Macron, could mean Trudeau, could mean any one of those centre-left, but ultimately, I would say, globalist politicians.
00:55:32.000Here, CNN appear to be Identifying, or at least tracing round, the elephant that is so plainly in the room.
00:55:39.000And that elephant is not the symbol of the Republican Party.
00:55:44.000No, that elephant is the lack of identifiable policy emerging from this convention Or this movement, although, you know, there's price gouging, which evidently economically is not a sensible way to address the costs of the inflation and subsequent COVID measures that have led to the conditions that many people are experiencing as high grocery bills, high gas bills.
00:56:08.000But for now, let's have a quick look at CNN doing the unthinkable.
00:56:13.000It seems like they are committed to reporting on the news and the news is this Kamala Harris don't seem to have no policies.
00:56:20.000How Kamala Harris's campaign unraveled they obtained the resignation letter of the Harris campaign state operations director who is now joining the Bloomberg campaign.
00:56:30.000She wrote It is unacceptable that with less than 90 days until Iowa, we still do not have a real plan to win.
00:56:38.000Our campaign for the people is made up of diverse talent which is being squandered by indecision and a lack of leaders who lead.
00:56:50.000You wrote a fantastic cover story on Kamala Harris about a month ago or so.
00:56:55.000I'm sure based on what your reporting has been, a lot of this isn't really a surprise to you.
00:57:00.000No, what's a surprise is that she has failed to turn it around despite literally months and months and months of hearing this kind of frustration.
00:57:08.000And you hear, you know, it's reporters, it's people inside the campaign, it's people outside the campaign, it's pretty much every voter that you meet on the campaign trail who goes to see her.
00:57:17.000And the common theme is people want to like her and then she doesn't close the deal.
00:57:23.000She's not able to articulate a consistent and compelling message that makes those voters who show up for her Who are interested in what she's selling that makes them decide, yes, this is the candidate I can commit to.
00:57:34.000And the time story and a post story today have really laid out this frustration, especially within her team, that she hasn't been able to make those decisions.
00:57:43.000And she's been all over the place in terms of message.
00:57:45.000Here's a clip to show some of her kind of all over the place messaging.
00:58:13.000And in every possible way, this is the anti-Trump.
00:58:18.000And now to Lou, her one of the messages is she's the one who can bring back the Obama coalition in the way that Obama had it in 2007.
00:58:25.000Yeah, they've tried out a number of different messages over the past several months and just tried to see what is stuck and it's been difficult to follow her campaign because there have been so many different messages and one of the biggest debates that she's having internally is whether she wants to be sort of this progressive Left-wing, California liberal, or whether or not she wants to be more of a moderate.
00:58:44.000And both of those lanes are currently clogged up, and the fact that she's kind of vacillating between the two of those makes it difficult for any voter to stick to her when there are so many other options.
00:58:53.000And Julie, this was a policy-heavy campaign, I think in a way that some folks who got in didn't necessarily predict and maybe weren't ready for, and she has had issues with some of her policies.
00:59:03.000Right, and some of this goes back to the candidate herself.
00:59:06.000I mean, they have tried out a lot of different messages and a lot of different strategies, but as Molly said, it is her lack of ability to stick to one policy prescription, one set of policy issues that she really wants to be her trademark that has put her where she is today.
00:59:18.000Yeah, for her it seems like it's do or die Iowa, so we'll see.
00:59:23.000It's going to be an extraordinary election because what we have really, I suppose, is progressive legacy media.
00:59:31.000Progressive in the sense that there was a kind of materialist belief that humanity is heading to some kind of ascension.
00:59:40.000Fully behind the Democrat Party, as you might imagine, other than sort of debates like this.
00:59:45.000And you have online platforms hosting conversations between Trump and Musk.
00:59:52.000How is this propaganda going to unfold?
00:59:55.000When really, it seems to me, There are very few conversations taking place about what genuinely and truthfully matters to all of us, the ability to live our lives individually and communally with a degree of unity, to have the freedom to express yourself religiously and spiritually, to become the person that you are intended to be, somewhat free from the overreach of government and the endless bludgeoning of global corporatism.
01:00:22.000Doesn't seem to me that that's something that's being openly discussed but the democratic party convention is going to be pretty fascinating and we'll be doing a watch along when Kamala does her speech.
01:00:32.000Join us for that and become an Awaken Wanda if you want to come see any of my live shows.
01:00:36.000We'll post the details of how you can become an Awaken Wanda in the chat right now.
01:00:42.000In a minute we're going to be talking about The crazy world of medicine.
01:00:46.000How we're continually told that products and medicines that are bad for us are good for us and the reverse.
01:00:53.000But before that, a message from one of our partners.
01:01:00.000So why don't you take a seven-day journey with Hallo through the lives of incredible saints.
01:01:05.000The challenge kicks off with Joe Mazzullo, the coach of the Celtics, and San Sebastian, the patron saint of athletes.
01:01:12.000It's been the Olympics, and we need to reclaim it for spiritual people, and in particular Christians, don't we?
01:01:17.000Ria Woolberg leads meditations, and Jonathan Rumi, Jesus This is My Body Double, takes us through powerful stories of saints.
01:01:24.000The series ends with Father David Michael Moses and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frasati.
01:01:30.000Saints in Seven Days explores the rich stories of their journeys to sainthood, filled with God's grace and glory, and also the human struggles, great suffering, mistakes, and a profound need for God's mercy.
01:01:41.000The hard thing to accept is saints aren't that much different.
01:01:45.000From us, you or I, do we have the potential to become saints?
01:01:48.000Are we ready for that level of suffering and pain?
01:01:50.000Because you don't often read about the saints and go, you know, they lounged about, they thought about themselves all the time, they was on the couch, they was on the sofa, they was just basically relaxing.
01:02:22.000If you are a pharmaceutical giant looking to exploit populations for endless profit because there's some evidence to suggest that Ivermectin might be effective in the treatment of cancers and the MDMA could be an effective treatment for PTSD.
01:02:37.000Is it true then that the pharmaceutical industry, and the key word here is industry, are more interested in profit than healing people?
01:02:47.000Is it possible that the pharmaceutical industry requires medications that can be endlessly prescribed rather than medicines that effectively heal people?
01:02:56.000Is it possible that clinical trials are never undertaken unless it's likely that there's a profit at the end of them?
01:03:02.000Is it Is it possible that we have to accept the idea that corporations make all of their decisions on the basis of profit and that something like that is not the fault of any individual, but a systemic thinking that requires radical address?
01:03:15.000And is it possible, too, that only collectively Through exploring and expressing our individual freedom, our communal duty, and deep-held spiritual truths, will we be able to oppose something as monumental and mendacious as a pharmaceutical industry gone awry?
01:03:35.000Let's have a look at this story about MDMA versus PTSD, and the very fact that the FDA, wow, this is a lot of acronyms, will not allow those treatments to be permitted Presumably because they really wanna help us.
01:03:57.000The whole thing's pointing to all of these globalist interests being on our side.
01:04:02.000A few hours ago, the FDA rejected MDMA therapy as a treatment for PTSD.
01:04:07.000It's a setback for the growing movement to use psychedelics for treatment of mental health conditions.
01:04:12.000It comes as the agency was under intense pressure from politicians and veterans to approve the drug.
01:04:18.000Last week, 80 members of Congress sent a letter to President Biden underscoring the grave need for new treatments to address PTSD in veterans.
01:04:27.000But back in June, the FDA's own advisory committee said there wasn't enough evidence the therapy was safe or effective.
01:04:34.000NBC News Medical Fellow... We like the phrase safe and effective, and there's not enough evidence that these medicines are either safe or effective.
01:04:42.000And safe and effective, that's what runs the world these days.
01:05:02.000Callie Means has been so brilliant on the subject of Big Pharma and excellent on the subject of Big Food.
01:05:07.000These two industries appear to operate in a kind of lockstep, ensuring that we remain on a conveyor belt of Ill health becoming steadily more obese and diabetic and in need of pharmaceutical intervention and down they swoop the other vampiric cohort to fill us full of various therapies that may or may not be beneficial to us, but are certainly beneficial to them.
01:05:40.000Help those suffering get to the root cause of trauma.
01:05:43.000But it's not recurring treatment against pharma business model outrageous.
01:05:46.000But surely they wouldn't be as audacious and as mendacious and downright malfeasant to deploy such techniques against cancer.
01:05:57.000Cancer which curiously appears to be on the rise among young people.
01:06:00.000Cancer which curiously appears to have metastasized itself into a new turbo version Sometime around 2020, 2021, did anything apocal happen around that time?
01:06:13.000Let me know in the comments and the chat.
01:06:15.000It's becoming a very sensorial, invasive, and authoritarian world.
01:06:20.000Here is Kathy, Kathleen Ruddy, a cancer surgeon, talking about how ivermectin ...might have potential as an anti-cancer agent.
01:06:29.000Who among us has not been affected by cancer directly?
01:06:33.000How many people can you list that have had cancer?
01:06:35.000Please God, cancer survivors, but likely too people who have lost their lives.
01:06:40.000Is it possible, plausible, likely even, that there is an oncological industry that acts like every other aspect of the pharmaceutical industry and puts profits ahead of health?
01:07:01.000You may be a cancer surgeon, but I'm a vet, and I know a horse pace when I see one, and I'm looking at one when I see the words ivermectin.
01:07:17.000And I was not really even familiar with those people who use Ivermectin.
01:07:22.000And so when, in the early days of COVID, when it became clear that Ivermectin was effective in preventing and treating patients with a SARS-CoV-2 infection, Kathleen Ruddy is out of control.
01:07:41.000Look at her, spreading misinformation and curing cancer.
01:07:45.000This is the kind of person that needs to be stamped out and shut down.
01:07:49.000Surely we're not beginning to believe that the pharmaceutical industry benefits from people being sick in order that they have people to treat.
01:07:59.000Surely we don't imagine for a moment that during the pandemic period the use of ivermectin was banned and even the discussion of it was censored because it was a cheap and effective way to treat a disease that otherwise might have caused Profits to have been generated through new mRNA gene therapy stroke vaccines?
01:08:35.000It seems that the pharmaceutical industry have an interest in repressing, suppressing, and distracting us from effective therapies in order to perpetuate measures that might even make us sicker.
01:09:03.000All people that can simply come and claim a ticket to my show this Thursday, the same day we're doing the Kamala Harris Watch Along.
01:09:10.000You're not going to want to miss that on Rumble, as well as our meditations, Bible studies, stand-up comedy breakdowns, and many, many other things beside.
01:09:19.000Let us know what kind of content you want from us, and we will eagerly provide it for you.
01:09:24.000On the show tomorrow, we'll be talking to that Loathsome right-wing fascist and former Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald, fellow rumbler, friend of the show, and what I would call real journalist.
01:09:37.000We'll be back tomorrow, not with more of the same, but with more of the different.
