In this episode of the Stay Free AF chat, we cover a whole host of news stories, including the truckers, the New York City workers who lost their jobs for being unvaxxed, and a leaked insider report that reveals that the Canadian establishment knew that the trucksers were peaceful. We also talk about the people who are trying to get their bank accounts frozen so they don t have to take us to court, and how they don't have the money to pay for it, which is why they need to go to court. Stay free and remember, talk to one another with love and respect, and remember in the chat, that you could start right here, right now, treating each other decently. Stay free!

00:02:05.000On Rumble, every day, five days a week, talking to you about the news that matters and spiritual ideas that can change your life.
00:02:13.000You know we have a wide range of guests on this show.
00:02:15.000Why, recently alone I've spoken to Eckhart Tolle, Jordan Peterson, only the members of our Stay Free AF community have seen my chat with JP, and I tried to get to what I'm going to call the nub of the matter.
00:02:29.000In which I said, how do we square kindness, love and compassion with discernment?
00:02:33.000A discernment, of course, being a fancy word for judgment.
00:02:36.000When I spoke to Eckhart Tolle, I was surprised to see all these, all these chats are up on Rumble, by the way, you can look at me anytime.
00:02:41.000I was surprised to learn that he has pretty strong views about globalism and about the way that power is being centralized.
00:02:49.000Our function on this show is to help you to feel that you are safe and happy being who you are.
00:02:55.000That you are a member of a community and that we can change the world together by overcoming the cultural differences that are deliberately stoked by let's call them big media who want us to stay in futile opposition so that we can never confront the centralized forces of power that they tacitly support because they are financially supported by them.
00:03:16.000We've got a whole host of stories today Our item, here's the news, no, here's the effing news, is about the truckers.
00:03:23.000Remember how the truckers were portrayed as Nazis?
00:03:27.000Well, a leaked insider report has revealed that those truckers were peaceful and that the establishment, in this case the Canadian establishment, knew that they were peaceful.
00:03:37.000We also talk about the sacked New York City municipal workers who lost their job for being unvaxxed.
00:04:06.000Let me know in the chat what you're interested in today as we take a deeper look.
00:04:11.000I want you to let me know what guests you want to see on here, what subjects you want to get discussed, and remember in the chat, talk to one another with love and respect.
00:04:18.000We could start right here, right now, treating each other decently.
00:04:22.000With me today for these conversations is a man who's just moved his head slightly to acknowledge that I'm about to announce him, my producer and creative partner, Gareth Roy.
00:04:30.000Gareth, what news stories in particular are you looking forward to discussing today?
00:04:35.000Well, we'll talk a little bit about this item that we'll do later.
00:05:19.000I've still got their bank accounts frozen and so they don't have the money to pay for it Which is well if you want to take us to court, you're gonna need to pay for it.
00:05:27.000I'm a bank accounts been frozen Sorry, sorry.
00:05:30.000Yeah, you shouldn't have a legally protested.
00:05:32.000It wasn't illegal That's why I actually want to go to court for and I can't go cool because you've frozen my bank account.
00:06:35.000I tried to fashion a sort of a space of consensus between us where I'm saying like Jordan I think that I want us to be able to talk about like love and real deep values Well, you know, there's more to love than just compassion.
00:06:47.000And I'm like, yeah, no, Jordan, there is more to love than just compassion.
00:07:47.000Because on the UK government website it said Ivermectin is under clinical trial, so like Imir, one of our researchers and an important member of our creative team, got all excited.
00:08:08.000It was under one of their lists of treatments under the coronavirus and so we went with what we saw on Twitter that Will found and then when we looked into it when you click on it it said it's undergoing clinical trials so it's not been approved but it was a little confusing.
00:08:27.000Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug that should only, under any circumstances, be used on a horse, or a pony, and in the form of paste.
00:08:46.000Do you know what I'm most interested in?
00:08:47.000I thought it was alright to disagree with people, like even from, don't you remember when you were a kid, at Christmas or whatever, Like, everyone's drunk, and people are like, NO!
00:08:59.000And they think, oh, this is just normal life.
00:09:01.000No, it's like, you know, like in America, they just say if you're a Trump, like, say the sort of democratic centre-left people, if you're a Trump voter, you're absolutely evil.
00:09:11.000And I suppose both sides blame one another.
00:09:14.000Obviously our friends, we come from professional media, urban class now, even though I'm from a place called Essex, Gail's from a place called Hull, we've been in media for so long.
00:09:23.000So those metropolitan, professional, liberal people, that's what we were around.
00:09:28.000And if you read the articles I was writing years ago, what you will note is that I was always anti-establishment, but anti-establishment from the left.
00:09:34.000I was never about, hey, why don't you give the government more and more power?
00:09:37.000I was more about Destroy, attack, attack, attack, big business, attack, big business, you know, don't trust them.
00:09:42.000So it has always been laced with a bit of conspiracy, but it was always coming from the perspective of the left of the anti-censorship folk, the left of the pro-free speech folk.
00:09:51.000And like this odd new thing happened where libertarianism and the sort of what has been dubbed the alt-right became the only anti-establishment voices.
00:09:59.000Yeah, I don't think it was ever, but it was about attacking the establishment.
00:10:02.000It wasn't about attacking either side, to be honest.
00:10:04.000I mean, I remember when we were doing The Trues and we We've made loads of videos about Obama's drone strike policy and all sorts.
00:10:11.000He was in power and we were doing that at the time.
00:10:14.000We were saying even Obama, he's meant to think he's all cool because I'm from a background where I think it's cool that people of all different colours and cultures are in positions of power, but I ultimately think it's not that important if the power structures that they represent still ultimately drone children or support the interests of big business.
00:10:45.000I love the Hare Krishnas, for example.
00:10:46.000And I love the mythology of the Vedas and the Hindus, generally speaking.
00:10:53.000But like, if Rishi Sunak is Rishi Sunak in the crunchiest of crunchies, A Hindu man risen to a position of power, or is he ultimately a former WEF stooge, former Goldman Sachs employee, who when it comes to the hard, cold matters of policy, will not be looking at the back of Abgeeta, but will be looking at the W-H-O-I-M-F-W-E-F.
00:11:16.000Yeah, and his property portfolio with his billionaire wife.
00:11:20.000I can see you've got a fact jazz on there.
00:11:54.000Now, wherever you are watching this in the world, what we're talking about is the sort of the appearance of power and the artifice of that power.
00:12:01.000A figure like Rishi Sunak, who, you know, I would say, oh, that's cool that there's a Hindu person, excuse me, who ain't white, in a position of power.
00:12:23.000Of course that in isolation is a good thing, right?
00:12:27.000But there's not many people that are willing to look at other things in isolation like that.
00:12:30.000People now go, Gandhi, oh well, he may have led a peaceful revolution against the British Empire, which was the sort of the The semaphore, the sign of corrupt power of the day.
00:12:41.000But he did this weird thing where he slept in a bed with his nieces.
00:13:04.000Uh, Gandhi led, uh, and then, you know, or Martin Luther King, apparently, you know, you hear, like, slept with somebody he worked with, was some stuff about misogyny, all of this allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, allegedly, what do I know?
00:13:16.000Because what I've, the reason I'm citing the names Gandhi, Guevara, King, is because I've always looked at them for this reason and this reason alone.
00:13:24.000They led powerful movements against the establishment and they showed there is a way.
00:13:59.000But I'm saying, if you're talking about this now, at a time where you want to overthrow establishment power, what kind, where are you going to look for your heroes?
00:14:11.000Okay, well, let's just sit here now while we're punched endlessly in the face by corporate power, and meanwhile, Congratulating ourselves that Rishi Sunak is a Hindu man, and that's a good thing, but what religion matters?
00:14:25.000The Goldman Sachs, WF religion, or the Hindu religion?
00:14:28.000And we'll see now, based on what Gareth Timberlake says.
00:14:30.000Well yeah, it's not like we elected, or they elected, because we actually didn't elect him.
00:14:34.000Yep, it wasn't an election, it just was one of those ones where they go, Prime Minister!
00:15:19.000I think with the Tories in general, I think actually with probably both parties, people are a bit wise to it, that it's not going to work in this country.
00:15:26.000That no one's saying, as you kind of always talk about, Ross, that no one's kind of saying, we're going to look after ordinary people.
00:15:32.000And while we're on the subject of Vandana Shiva, this is a woman who's willing to confront power, who's interested in aligning spiritual principles with social and political principles.
00:15:43.000She's been a guest on this show numerous times, she's a participant in Community.
00:15:47.000Here is a look at what Vandana Shiva stands for.
00:15:50.000For everything we think, we are building strong.
00:15:53.000You know, build back better, their slogan.
00:15:55.000No, with nature there's nothing, you can't build back better if you don't work according to her ecological laws.
00:16:12.000I would vote like, you know, now I'm like, I'm no fan of pointless voting just for the ritualistic purpose of bringing another set of stooges of the corporate world into some congressional or parliamentary building.
00:16:24.000But Vandana Shiva is a woman who would change the world and I believe that that's exactly the kind of leadership We need.
00:16:32.000So the point you're making is, by promoting one aspect of Rishi Sunak's character or demographic data, you are ignoring some stuff that's significant, whereas with Vandana Shiva, Hinduism and her principles are all anti-establishment.
00:16:50.000The whole thing is like an attack on power, an attack on Bill Gates.
00:17:13.000You know, this is All day long I'll be voting for her.
00:17:16.000Yeah, well we talk about Bill Gates, we talk about the WAF and you mentioned Rishi Sunak.
00:17:22.000So Rishi Sunak has family ties to a technology partner of the WAF, World Economic Forum, that has advocated for Chinese Communist Party style economy complete with trackable digital identities and currency.
00:17:35.000So the father of Sunak's wife is the founder of InfoSize, an Indian information technology company that provides services to a host of Fortune 500 companies and banks.
00:17:46.000So this is the official partner of the WEF, which has been accused of seeking to develop the technological infrastructure to implement a global social credit score system.
00:17:59.000So it's not like the family of Rishi Sunak's wife, just by general virtue of the fact that they're rich, are part of this potential trend and tendency towards centralising surveillance and digital power.
00:18:13.000No, they're an actual partner of the WEF.
00:18:16.000And this is an information technology company.
00:18:28.000I wasn't gallivanting, I've seen a psychiatrist.
00:18:30.000I've actually seen a psychiatrist in a desperate bid to maintain some control of my mental health.
00:18:37.000So emphasize President Mohit Joshi has penned articles for the site in favor of digital banking which provides the technological framework for the social credit score system the WEF has come under scrutiny for attempting to, you know, building across the world basically.
00:18:54.000That's what the WEF, one of the things that it's been most criticized for isn't it, is about this kind of social credits lurch towards the social credit score.
00:19:01.000I think one of the things we're understanding about digital currency Is how it's going to basically take hold of our finances and make us again coming back to the Canada Truckers Movement we talked about before that ability for them to just freeze bank accounts because they were through GoFundMe as in kind of digital sites the way that PayPal did it with Mint Press we spoke about yesterday as well.
00:19:24.000This is something that, as we're talking about how they'll be, you know, for our benefit, these digital currencies.
00:19:30.000It'll be nice and convenient, won't it?
00:20:11.000I don't think it's... You see Yuval Naharari, you know, who's been on our show before, promoting his books.
00:20:16.000And really, they're just saying, look, these are the most powerful governments in the world.
00:20:20.000These are the most powerful economic and big tech interests in the world.
00:20:23.000These are models that would appear to be effective if these apparent trends of technological advancement and centralizing of power continue.
00:20:35.000It's not like Klaus Schwab is actually like... He actually is trying his best, but... Well, I say this, and I don't mean to say this in a mean way, Hitler was also trying his best.
00:20:46.000Hitler wasn't going back to his bunker, or the Wolf's Lair, I believe it was called, and going like... He was like, oh God, I've got to make this... Why did Operation Barbarossa on the Eastern Front not work?
00:20:58.000Well, Hitler, because what you've done is you've destabilised your military hierarchy.
00:21:13.000I was just saying... I don't sit there watching a documentary going, that's a good point.
00:21:17.000I'm like watching it going, oh God, don't do, no Hitler!
00:21:21.000Every time, you know, like with the death of Diana.
00:21:23.000I've told you that story, haven't I, about my history teacher who my mum thought kind of brainwashed me into thinking Hitler was quite good.
00:21:30.000I'd like to know more about this man, Mr Roy, if you don't mind indulging me.
00:21:34.000I used to come home from history lessons and I'd bang on about how clever Hitler was, because basically that's what he'd told us in a class.
00:21:41.000He's taken a risk there, that guy, isn't he?
00:21:50.000You've got to go, look, let's face it.
00:21:52.000The annihilation of the Jewish people, the gays, gypsies, drug addicts, disabled people, all the people that are marauding into Russia, the annexing, the expansionism, that is bad.
00:22:09.000And then, it's almost anything after that you say, you know, what is the claim?
00:22:53.000This is what I believe it is, is that there's an unexpressed rage, and he becomes an avatar of that unexpressed rage.
00:23:02.000One time, I was sat next to the director of that film, Naima Tafava, he was called, I can't remember his name, will you look it up for us Putin, who directed Naima Tafava?
00:23:12.000And he had these amazing theories about Hitler.
00:23:15.000He said that Hitler became the sort of the vengeful vagina of the German people.
00:23:21.000And he said like he was always lit from above and with that moustache, the moustache... My vagina?
00:23:26.000I suppose he had like a little Brazilian... Oh, like physically?
00:23:31.000Like he was like the sort of the sort of ven... like after the sort of punitive Treaty of Versailles and the crippling of Germany after the First World War, Hitler rose as an avatar of anti-Semitic rage of the Aryan people.
00:25:04.000They do this brilliant story of the Guilford Four and their wrongful imprisonment, which was deliberate, malicious imprisonment of innocent men and women because of the troubles and the bombing of mainland Britain during the conflict between the Irish people and the British.
00:25:22.000Anyway, it's a wicked, amazing, cool film.
00:25:25.000Told me some good stories about Daniel Day-Lewis, including that his shoes weren't good enough, and had these amazing theories about Hitler, and sort of Hitler as an archetypal figure, rather than Hitler as an individual.
00:25:34.000And this actually pertains to what I was talking about before, with, like, flawed heroes.
00:25:38.000The heroes with the feet of Clay, Gandhi, Guevara, and let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, a lot of people say they don't like, so, say if you're a Cuban person, like, my maid-size missus, she'll, like, she, like, she's, like, she's, like, not at all down with that Cuban revolution.
00:25:52.000And a lot of people are sort of super against it and like, oh, it's terrible and like, you know, but, and that's not something I want to get drawn on.
00:26:16.000Well, we got here by talking about Klaus Schwab and the WEF.
00:26:18.000Yeah, and I'll get back there because I've written it down in my little pad.
00:26:21.000In my mind, I've got a whole journey all the way back, right?
00:26:24.000And like Hitler, he said, as a symbol, he becomes sort of an avatar for an unexpressed energy.
00:26:30.000And in a way, even though that sounds highfalutin, it's obvious as well, because if there is an unexpressed energy that's sort of in a culture, a population, and if you're saying there is a culture and there is a population, i.e.
00:26:40.000If you sort of know those borders are arbitrary, the claim that there's a culture is arbitrary, well then, What is Italian cuisine, culture, football, cars, art, painting, renaissance, history, principalities, Garibaldi, the Unification Mussolini?
00:26:56.000It might be slightly more porous, amorphous, and shifting than we assume, but there's sort of, we can have an agreement that there's a thing called Italy anyway, so once you've broadly agreed that, then you can say there is a culture, then you can say a figure like Hitler rises up to sort of express an ulterior emotion.
00:27:12.000And Jim Sheridan, he was almost sort of tongue-in-cheek.
00:27:14.000He wasn't sort of saying, These are some academically underwritten ideas.
00:27:19.000It was like amusing, a whimsy, that Hitler could be regarded... He said, like, you know, that, like, there were these two ideas.
00:27:26.000One was the moustache makes it look like he's lit from above, like he has this sort of divine light on him at all times.
00:27:31.000I thought, wow, that's a cool piece of semiotic analysis.
00:27:35.000And then the other thing was, like, he was like the sort of the mouthpiece vagina of a castrated nation.
00:27:40.000Like, and although that sounds sort of mad and bizarre, in sort of this common Freudian, but if somewhat disregarded now, idea that, you know, the idea of castration, and what is the vagina as a symbol, as well as what is the vagina as anatomy, what is the phallus as a symbol, as well as the phallus in anatomy, and these, you can sort of, I spent my whole childhood being told, like, oh you think too much, don't think about stuff like that, who cares, it's bollocks.
00:28:12.000So anyway, like, I suppose the way this sort of goes back to like, you know, the WEF and Klaus Schwab is like, because Hitler did not think he was being evil, obviously, you know, that's almost like a sort of a cliched point to sort of say everyone in their own life thinks they're doing the right thing, even a psychopath, perhaps.
00:28:31.000And And Klaus Schwab, I sort of can tell from his general eyes and tone that he's got that, you know, sort of like salivary, blubbery sort of quality that he's got.
00:28:42.000Like I can imagine it'd be quite nice to go around his house for Christmas and maybe... It'd be a big house.
00:28:52.000His dad had some sort of cagey job and all, I think.
00:28:55.000Anyway, I don't think he's like, I think he's like, this will work very well if we people only accept that property, you know, because I mean, that's in the song, imagine, imagine no possessions is one of the things.
00:29:08.000And he's just saying, instead of imagining it, we're gonna do it.
00:29:11.000I think look, in the worst case scenario, there's something Quite nefarious going on, because when you put out a piece of marketing that suggests people won't own anything and they'll be happy, I mean, it's dystopian, there's no doubt about it.
00:29:24.000No wonder it's got people's backs up and people mistrusting not only the WEF but anyone kind of involved with it.
00:29:32.000Or, in the kind of best case scenario, it's a guy who we know is kind of pretty arrogant and gets off on this having all these billionaire and celebrity mates and putting on this event once a year and doing all these speeches, basically greenwashing all these billionaires through the idea of philanthropy.
00:29:51.000I think the worst thing you could probably, one of the worst things you can accuse him is obviously this vision of his that the solution to all
00:30:52.000We're going to have a council of experts.
00:30:53.000And essentially that's already happening because democracy, the ability of democracy to shift the movements of a culture are very, very limited in most countries that, you know, that we're communicating with.
00:31:05.000There are a couple of parties or sets of alliances in countries that have a more diffuse form of democracy and they broadly believe in the same thing.
00:31:14.000Some people, like, you know, I bring this point up a lot.
00:31:17.000It was Brad Evans who runs our book club.
00:31:19.000You see that every Thursday or Friday.
00:31:21.000We're talking about George Orwell's Ninth Day Forward, we're talking about Alice in Wonderland.
00:31:24.000He brought to my attention Russell Means, a Native American activist, who said that for their people, even the difference between communism and capitalism, he said, is insignificant.
00:31:36.000These are both the same side, different sides of the same coin.
00:31:40.000Both assume that the role of the individual is to toil and to labor, and both assume that the function of the planet is primarily as a resource.
00:31:48.000Even something like Greta Thunberg there, It's sort of talking about it from save the planet so as human beings are all right.
00:31:57.000You know like and that's good and I'm certainly not criticizing that very dedicated young person.
00:32:01.000I'm saying that we're told that we're operating in this giddying array of potential ideas But we're not, because democracy now isn't even on the scale of, like, 20th century communism, fascism ideas.
00:32:18.000It's essentially neoliberalist ideas of, ultimately, business and finance calls the shots, the government administrates, and we quibble over how much social welfare there is.
00:32:29.000And then in a country like America, and we're all part of that empire economically, and ultimately, in my view, Some hot-button topics around abortion, gun laws, stuff that's, and now the culture war, stuff that drives emotion and is important if it affects you, of course, and I'm certainly not diminishing that, but does not affect the movement of real power and real capital?
00:32:49.000No, there was a report, I think it was in the Levered, David Sirota's site that I was reading earlier, that was saying that the Democrats are putting all their money, the majority of their election money at the moment, into those hot-button issues.
00:33:04.000So it's all abortion and things like that, which they know is going to drive, you know, this kind of polarisation.
00:33:10.000But ultimately, a bit like when we talked about them spending money to fund MAGA candidates, or however you want to term them, that it's about, that it's not about, that they're basically ignoring things like inflation and things that, through polls, American everyday people have said, this is what we care about.
00:33:27.000We actually probably don't care about things like abortion as much as you think we do.
00:33:31.000What we care about is the things that affect our lives.
00:33:35.000And not that I'm suggesting that the Republicans are any better, because I'm certainly not, but it shows.
00:33:40.000And part of what we do on this channel, I think sometimes people say, you know, why are you analyzing the Democrats so much?
00:33:47.000It's because we're told that those are the people who care about us.
00:33:52.000But when you hear about something like that, The election money goes on funding MAGA candidates for the purpose of being able to win when it comes to proper elections, and that money goes into hot topic and hot button issues like abortion and things rather than stuff that people care about.
00:34:09.000You're like, well, hang on, this isn't right then, is it?
00:34:11.000You're not actually representing the will of the people at that point.
00:34:14.000And plainly, of course, what the issue is, is that by directing our attention towards these hot button topics, you are not discussing what do we do about the fact that the same corporations are funding both parties, that Pfizer have spent this much on lobbying this many Congress people from The Democrat Party and the Republican Party own stocks in these companies.
00:34:39.000The military-industrial complex has undue influence.
00:34:42.000That big media is owned ultimately by BlackRock and Vanguard.
00:34:47.000If you had those conversations, if you spent as much time talking about that as you spent talking about Gun control and pro-life, pro-choice arguments, then you would make... The reason you don't have those conversations, if you did, the world would change in ways that matter.
00:35:08.000Ages ago, when I was younger, I spoke to the gay rights activist Peter Tatchell, who now I believe has been sort of somewhat, maybe, I don't know, you let me know in the chat, has been sort of discredited or attacked or dismissed, even though that guy gave his life to advocating for gay rights.
00:35:21.000He said that he noticed over time That you could say what you saw.
00:35:26.000In the end, they would always yield on civic issues, even though the civil rights movement has won some pretty important battles that have been important to millions and billions of people.
00:35:35.000But you'd notice that whenever you got near money, things got serious.
00:35:39.000I mean I think again another like quote another like left-wing poet like Robert Reich he was he wrote an article I think it was in Common Dreams the other day that I was reading he was saying the Democrats aren't focusing on money because of their corporate donors.
00:35:52.000Because they can't do that because it makes them look dirty.
00:35:55.000I see young Putin's pulled up what have you pulled up here Poots?
00:35:58.000Shall I read it or are you gonna read it?
00:35:59.000Yeah, so basically Pfizer and a few other sort of large pharmacy school companies.
00:36:04.000So Pfizer alone is accounted for $219 million in lobbying expenses and also $23 million in campaign contributions over the time period that was studied.
00:36:16.000So obviously you can see there that that would obviously be divvied up between Republicans.
00:36:21.000So when it comes to their ability to redact those pages in the EU Commission, or when it comes to the willingness to spend taxpayer money on those medicines, when it comes to the ongoing advocacy of the use of those medicines, again, you know, we have different, Gareth and I, have like differing opinions on those subjects.
00:36:39.000What we've found is that it doesn't actually matter, because if you have some principles like clarity, transparency, honesty, the ability for individuals to make their own choices, it doesn't matter.
00:36:51.000We've become victims to their ability to control our thought space.
00:36:58.000Like, you know, if we spend all our time going, but I think you should, I think you shouldn't, we should do this, we should do that, then we wouldn't be able to say, hang on a minute, is there some sort of centralised power that's able to pursue its agenda while we're Skitting around like nitwit ants down in the foothills, talking about stuff that isn't important, that's not going to change the world.
00:37:14.000So one of the things we're asking you today, and let me know what you think in the chat, let me know what you think in the comments, is have you noticed how the narrative keeps shifting?
00:37:22.000How the truckers were called Nazis when internal memos reveal that they knew that the truckers were not Nazis, or certainly not violent, and if a Nazi's not a violent Nazi, I mean, is that a harmful Nazi?
00:37:37.000Imagine you're just a Nazi, but you're a non-violent Nazi.
00:37:46.000Remember, we're funding, through the war, certain little subsets of Nazis, Ukrainian Nazis, like a subset of the Ukrainian fighting forces against Russia.
00:37:54.000And we're also being asked to forget the narrative around the sacking of unvaccinated workers and New York State still opposing their right to return to work.
00:38:03.000Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments what you think about that as we go into our item.
00:39:00.000Now, some people think, oh, the WEF, they don't have no real power.
00:39:03.000And if, like, the most powerful people in the world want to collaborate and come together, they can perfectly easily do that in private.
00:39:09.000But I believe there is a significance around these global, unelected bodies offering up edicts.
00:39:16.000One example, just a very localised example, is that YouTube take their policies, their community guideline policies on health matters, I'm going to say it here over on our platform, For example, what you can and can't say about vaccines, ivermectin and lockdown is determined by the WHO model.
00:39:35.000So even as the science changes on natural immunity, YouTube's guidelines remain controlled or determined by WHO.
00:39:44.000So that's one example of how an unelected body, funded primarily by Germany and then by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has an influence on my fucking life.
00:39:54.000Where did they get involved in my life all of a sudden?
00:40:02.000Ask yourself, and let us know in the chat and the comments, do you think you're being invited to forget the reality of just a couple of months ago as they maraud ever closer to centralised tyrannical power, controlling even our minds and our memories?
00:40:50.000New York City are appealing against the judge's verdict that unvaccinated people should get their jobs back.
00:40:56.000While we await the verdict, those people can't go back to work, by the way, also a new report has revealed that those Canadian truckers that we were told were Nazis and hairy and smelly were...
00:41:22.000And of course, the reason we're talking about this at all is because in spite of everything that's becoming apparent now, at least appears to be becoming apparent, Joe Biden, having created a cost of living crisis, along with Putin, no one's saying Putin doesn't cause cost of living crises, is offering A miserable, measly $5 off your groceries, as long as you cooperate with the system and get yourself vaccinated, particularly now it's not paid for by taxpayers.
00:42:10.000Okay, so what's happening with New York City and those people not getting their jobs back?
00:42:14.000How are we supposed to tie all together these narrative threads except by using this model?
00:42:19.000If you look at this from the perspective of what most benefits the most powerful elite interests in the world, if you look at it from that perspective, suddenly a lot of stuff starts making sense.
00:42:28.000Oh wow, the ability to capture and gather data.
00:42:31.000Oh wow, the ability to move taxpayer money over to private interests like Big Pharma, Big Food, Big tech, finding new and ingenious ways of funding the endeavours of private companies, then excluding you when it comes to profit time.
00:42:45.000But we don't look at things from that perspective.
00:42:49.000If indeed the reason to get this shot is to protect you from potential health matters, and I don't know what your family situation is, and I don't know what's best for you, and I just want what's best for you, look into my eyes.
00:43:01.000Then if it is what's best for all of us, then why simultaneously are unvaccinated workers being prevented from going back to work even though a judge has decreed they should get their jobs back?
00:43:23.000New York City is appealing a judge's ruling to reinstate municipal employees fired for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
00:43:29.000Now, I believe these are people that work in sanitation, people that collect garbage, people that during the pandemic We're hailed as heroes.
00:43:36.000These brave heroes carrying on doing their jobs.
00:43:38.000So they were heroes then, but now the state is going up against them, stopping them getting their jobs back after they've been through a judicial process in order to get their jobs back, which is pretty clear at this point.
00:43:49.000Let me know in the comments, let me know in the chat.
00:43:51.000They should have lost in the first place.
00:43:52.000The city is appealing the latest ruling by a Staten Island judge finding a segment of the municipal workforce should not require vaccination.
00:44:00.000Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Ralph Porzio ruled that the vaccination requirement for a group of 16 sanitation workers suing the city is arbitrary and capricious.
00:44:09.000Well, that's not how you want a state run.
00:44:11.000Well, firstly, we do things arbitrarily.
00:44:46.000The people you don't want to Acknowledge the people that are necessary for literally the stuff you don't want no more, the stuff that you're throwing out.
00:44:53.000Instead of saying, why don't we make those jobs as amenable and as pleasant and as fair and as well-paid and as well-rewarded because they're necessary for society, so it's dignified work for dignified working people.
00:45:05.000No, why don't we use the state to crush them, to crush them into total compliance?
00:45:09.000One theory is that the pandemic was an opportune moment to reduce workforces and reduce payrolls.
00:45:16.000And if these people are successful in winning their case, not only will you have to have all those back payments, but you also challenge the efficacy of the model.
00:45:24.000I don't know if New York's garbage collection is privatised yet.
00:45:27.000Yeah, but I bet it'll get privatised at some point, and having a lower payroll bill when that comes will be advantageous.
00:45:34.000And any of you that are following this sort of AI revolution will know that those are the kind of jobs that will go next.
00:45:38.000We'll have robot slaves instead of near-human slaves, and these kind of people are not considered worthy of protection of the state.
00:45:45.000Now, although a lot of you have questions around socialism, understandably born of your suspicions of Maoism and Stalinism and centralised state systems that I would oppose alongside you.
00:45:55.000But when it comes to compassion and dignity of ordinary working people, who's going to look after them, if not everyone?
00:46:01.000Who's going to stand up for them against the state or against corporate power?
00:46:47.000That's a Billy Joel concert, a Bruce Springsteen concert of unemployed people from valuable sectors, people that are doing necessary work to hold together a nation, a state, a city, What is it then?
00:47:00.000When you're like, I'm proud of my city, I love my country.
00:47:08.000We have a structure, we look after each other, we have connections to one another, we have a set of principles and values that we stick to.
00:47:14.000And part of that has got to come, hasn't it?
00:47:19.000It means that we have love, we have compassion, we hold ourselves and one another to account, we make mistakes, we're flawed, we're fallible, but we try to improve ourselves based on a set of values and principles, not just, oh yeah, Pete, we're sacking these 34,000 people now.
00:47:34.000On the other hand, aside from that sort of religious, passionate, compassionate crap that I just spouted, if you do have a for-profit healthcare system, getting rid of 34,000 workers, replacing them with people, possibly people that have come from other countries, at a much lower rate, that would be good for profit, business and for shareholders.
00:47:53.000Meanwhile, up a bit in a country that I as an Englishman consider to be basically the same, let me know in the chat, in Canada, the truckers have been proven not to have been Nazis.
00:48:03.000I feel like I saw Justin Trudeau coming on my TV set saying, they're Nazis, they're awful, they're this, they're that.
00:48:15.000Public Safety Canada officials admitted in internal updates that the Freedom Convoy protests were peaceful and that no violence was taking place, despite claims by the Minister, Marco Mendicino.
00:48:27.000These are not things that should be shared with the public, because otherwise the public will go, hold on, you told us they were violent Nazis.
00:48:33.000Yeah, we had to tell you that at the time, because it was irritating that they were doing that protest.
00:48:36.000We thought, what could we say that people don't like?
00:50:01.000Up until February the 11th, officials monitoring the situation stated that there were no major incidents, that no violence took place, that disruption to government activities was minor, that there were minimal people on Parliament Hill and that the situation remained stable and that planning was ongoing.
00:50:32.000Since most government employees are working remotely, the disruption to government activities is so far minor.
00:50:38.000In contrast, key liberal cabinet members, including Mendicino and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, sought to paint the protesters as violent.
00:51:06.000According to internal memos, it literally was a peaceful protest.
00:51:10.000There were other protests at that time, which actually, by the way, I would be largely supportive of also, but were not subject to this level of scrutiny and analysis.
00:51:20.000We have to find a way of supporting one another across a range of cultural issues, regardless of the demographic and cultural data, otherwise these centralised and centralising forces are going to destroy all of us.
00:51:30.000Even if you find yourself broadly agreeing with him at the moment, the day will come.
00:51:35.000Mark these words of mine where you are the person at the end of the barrel.
00:51:45.000In a tweet, Trudeau condemned the anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, anti-black racism, homophobia and transphobia that we've seen on display in Ottawa.
00:51:53.000I mean, also, like, why would they be doing that?
00:51:55.000Why would you, if your point of your protest is, listen, our ability to do the trucking and that is being badly impugned by these new laws around certain medications.
00:52:07.000Also, I've got some terrible views on the Jewish community, Muslims, people of colour in general.
00:52:13.000I also don't like gay people or trans people.
00:52:16.000That doesn't even make sense as a protest anymore!
00:52:19.000How would you have time to focus on the key issue?
00:52:37.000We've got to find a culture, a community, a global and independent communities where everyone is, if not celebrated, then is able to be who they are, certainly within their own community.
00:52:48.000But you can't start using this language to prevent ordinary working people standing up for their rights.
00:52:53.000And if that language is used to condemn ordinary people, we have to be real diligent about ensuring that it's true and not just a way of nullifying legitimate protest.
00:53:02.000Trudeau previously denounced anti-vaxxers as misogynists and racists.
00:53:29.000No one's not getting a vaccine because they don't like women or they don't like people that are a different colour from the colour that they are.
00:53:35.000Of course you can't guarantee that all unvaccinated people are 100% not racist or misogynist.
00:53:39.000Those categories appear to exist throughout time, throughout society.
00:53:44.000That it's not the role of government to use reductive language to turn people against the... Oh, no, actually, that is the role of government.
00:53:52.000The role of government is to use reductive language to turn people against one another so ordinary people can't unite because they're too busy thinking, well, you might be homophobic.
00:54:00.000Oh, well, you might be super, super social justice warrior.
00:54:02.000So let's forget any alliance that we could achieve together and meet all of our goals if we're living in separate communities that really matter.
00:54:09.000In response to the protests, Mr. Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history.
00:54:14.000it so let's all just unite. But no, if they continue to stoke through hate speech, they're
00:54:19.000the ones ironically using the hate speech to call someone a misogynist and a racist
00:54:23.000and then condemn a whole raft of people. That is hate speech, not just because it's hateful
00:54:26.000to those people, because it prevents love between us.
00:54:29.000In response to the protests, Mr Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time in
00:54:33.000Canadian history. Uh oh, this is an emergency, what? Some people are thinking for themselves.
00:54:56.000The Emergencies Act can only be invoked when a situation seriously threatens the ability of the government of Canada
00:55:01.000to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada
00:55:05.000and when the situation cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada.
00:55:09.000You can see that beneath the hair Beneath the rhetoric of love and inclusion, there is a desire to instate the kind of powers that bypass democracy.
00:55:18.000For all of that inclusivity, conversation, democracy, conviviality, community, really what they want is, this is what we're doing, and we're doing it because we want to.
00:55:26.000In December 2020, Mr. Trudeau chided India for its police response to farmers' blockades of Delhi.
00:55:31.000Let me remind you, he said, Canada will always be there to defend the right of peaceful protest.
00:55:36.000Let me remind me that Canada will always be there.
00:55:55.000Forget events of just a couple of years ago that appear to be creaking under the weight of their own duplicity and move forward with Biden's offer of five dollars off your grocery bills that have been inflated for a number of reasons that could be effectively handled in so many other ways.
00:56:10.000I don't even want to get into the ways you could make the lives of ordinary people So much easier because I'll blow my mind.
00:56:58.000Go on then, what's he saying then, Trudy-O?
00:57:00.000So Trudeau tweeted on February 2020 this year and basically was calling out all the trucker protests going on in Ottawa at the time, basically just called them all anti-semites, islamophobic, anti-black racism, homophobia and transphobia.
00:57:16.000And obviously the question is, why would he have done that?
00:57:18.000To probably make most of the public opinion swayed towards, oh they must be anti-black, anti-islamophobic, homophobic and all these other things.
00:57:29.000I mean, I guess you could say he doesn't actually call them all that.
00:57:33.000What he, I guess, carefully says is he condemns any of that behaviour that we've seen on display.
00:57:39.000So that could either be all of them or some of them.
00:59:03.000So this is a report in Reclaim the Net, which we use quite a lot.
00:59:07.000So, during the ongoing public hearings into the use of the Emergencies Act, it was revealed that the Freedom Convoy organisers, the federal government and police were on the verge of reaching a deal to end the protests before the government invoked the Authoritarian Act anyway.
00:59:20.000The Emergencies Act allowed the government to freeze the bank accounts of the Civil Liberties protesters.
00:59:24.000A memo outlining the deal read, the deal would be leave the protests and denounce unlawful activity and you will be heard.
00:59:32.000Freedom Convoy organisers would have honoured their end of the deal by removing over 100 trucks from residential streets and would remove more as negotiations went on.
00:59:42.000But basically what happened is they tore that up effectively, the Canadian government, and Trudeau brought in the Emergency Act anyway.
00:59:50.000So it's almost to kind of make an example.
00:59:58.000Yeah, so the Emergencies Act was revoked a few days after it was invoked.
01:00:02.000However, within those few days, the police has forcefully removed peaceful protesters from the streets and the bank accounts of supporters of the protests frozen.
01:00:10.000Meanwhile, the organisers of the Freedom Convoy protests have asked the court to unfreeze $450,000 in donations so that they can pay for legal fees in the upcoming case challenging the legality of the invocation of the Emergencies Act.
01:00:23.000They are trying to say, was this legal?
01:00:26.000And you know, we spoke about it quite a lot of the time.
01:00:29.000Were you in a situation where you had no other choice but to bring in that emergency?
01:00:34.000And this shows that the fact that there was a deal in place for them to go, that that was not the case, that there was an option, there was a deal in place for them to go and negotiations could continue.
01:00:46.000He brought in the Emergencies Act and therefore the truckers, if they could finally get their hands on some of that money, are saying, let's take this to, you know, a court of law.
01:02:16.000And also, probably we won't have edited it properly, so you'll probably see me sort of doing weird stuff.
01:02:21.000Guess what I'm doing, like someone was in my interview with Jordan Peterson, I don't know if you know, I tried to really get into it and I really tried to listen and I put myself into a swirl.
01:02:31.000I'm shaking my head around a little bit, I'm shaky shaky and that really loosens up the ice.
01:02:44.000Not in the ring, because I see us as we're Okay.
01:02:47.000in the debate. So it's not combative, but I'm listening very much to the rhythm of what he's saying.
01:02:52.000Now remember Jordan Peterson, he's going to go between Jungian archetypes, political discourse, clinical psychology,
01:02:58.000demographic information, data profiling around sex and gender, culture war issues.
01:03:04.000So I'm trying to listen to all these threads and I'm trying to compile and I'm trying to remember everything he's saying and I'm trying to think of what is my goal?
01:03:09.000My goal is to awaken as many people as possible to the possibility of real freedom.
01:03:15.000That we don't have to spend our time in conflict with one another.
01:03:18.000We don't have to despair and lose hope when it seems that centralized forces are stomping and stampeding across our planet.
01:03:26.000So I'm listening and I'm trying to bear that in mind.
01:03:27.000I think that if we can just solve this riddle of the culture war and Jordan Peterson is a sort of a central figure In that war, let's face it, isn't he?
01:03:35.000He's one of the people that you think of.
01:03:36.000Lightning rods, you would call them, potentially.
01:03:59.000The other day there was a storm in our country, England, so I went outside naked and ran around in it to show my children embrace the power of Odin, embrace the power of the storm, ran around naked in it.
01:04:14.000Seems to go directly against most parental advice.
01:05:25.000So, you know, you've got to be careful.
01:05:28.000So someone did get struck on this day in 1972, Guinness World Records.
01:05:32.000Roy Sullivan's hair was set on fire by a lightning strike, the third occasion that Roy had been struck.
01:05:37.000The unfortunate park ranger from Virginia, USA, survived a total of seven lightning strikes during his lifetime.
01:05:45.000Spare a thought for Roy Sullivan, struck seven times, still smiling, looks a bit like the Dracula dad out of the Munsters, I would say, if you can pull up a comparison shot.
01:06:04.000It's the relationship between his nose and his ears and like he's a man that's been struck by lightning.
01:06:10.000There would be a point where you go, like say you've been hit by lightning, you come home from the hospital presumably, I've been struck by lightning, bloody hell, what was it like?
01:08:35.000The Circus had been bought at Stoner Park, near where we do our show, and the groundskeeper had fallen in love with an acrobat and had run away with the circus.
01:08:44.000The groundskeeper of Stoner Park, fallen in love with an acrobat, ran away with the circus.
01:08:47.000She was naked, changing on the riverbank.
01:08:49.000This is so much to get my head around.
01:10:03.000So we pull over, you know, get out and everything and they're coming over and they've got, they had this sort of atmosphere of like, I don't know, as if they were going to try and take over my life somehow.
01:10:14.000Like they came over swarming over, not swarming, like it was more laconic than a swarm.
01:10:19.000A slow spill of energy approaches the boat in the forms of these Cuban people, and I believe they are called Cuban.
01:10:25.000There's a very beautiful mix of ethnicity in Cuba, like from what you call Hispanic-looking folk to Afro-Caribbean-looking folk, and they all come over with their amazing bodies.
01:10:35.000I've seen them the day before in the circus, jumping up and down, swinging around, all the usual.
01:10:46.000I could tell they wanted to go with the boat.
01:10:47.000So after some pleasantries, and noting that one of them, not even meant to be in that circus, is the groundsman, after I've done that basic inventory of who's there, I go, do you want a boat ride then?
01:10:56.000And they were, yeah, all the sexy Spanish sort of speaking ones.
01:11:00.000They get on the boat with me, and I don't like this bit, because they were just talking to each other.
01:11:04.000I can show you, I've got video of this, so I can show you this.
01:11:39.000And I thought, they're not gonna be nervous, they jump up and down all day, they fling themselves off stuff.
01:11:43.000And then there's one bit, some people were playing football on a riverbank, and the football went in.
01:11:47.000Now you know if you're getting at your like and I'd let one of the others was having to go one of these lads was driving the boat at this point okay I have a go mate I'm just now I'm doing nothing I'm just unemployed in the boat just surrounded by swarvy Cuban charisma and sex appeal and I'm completely at a loss as to what to do just sit there quietly luckily it's not too long a boat ride and when the football's in the water and if you ever have to do anything like that you go for you know it's hard enough if someone kicks it in the park and you've got to kick it back well this way it's in the water and I think I wonder how They're going to be able to coordinate the trajectory of the boat so that they can sort of just elegantly sweep by, grab that ball.
01:13:10.000But sometimes, when you bring together a diverse range of energies, you have to accept that you are not in an authoritative alpha role, and you have to accept temporarily that in this context, you are just in a position of absolute service.
01:13:27.000I had to put aside my ego and my spirit and I couldn't think, oh I'm going to dominate these Cuban folks.
01:13:33.000I just had to absolutely accept it in that situation.
01:13:37.000So I suppose how I make this relevant is decentralisation, the opposite of centralisation.
01:13:43.000If there is some sort of centralised force that wants control over such a sort of giddying array of types of people, it is going to lead to conflict.
01:13:50.000If you say we are this, like the world is this, or England is this, it's going to exclude people and it's
01:13:58.000going to create polarisation and polemicism. So the only solution to the
01:14:02.000world's cultural problems is to decentralise power. Initially that is going
01:14:07.000to require some regulatory power being given to the state to, for example,
01:14:23.000We're re-nationalising all these assets.
01:14:25.000But they will immediately be given to the localised control of these People Assemblies.
01:14:29.000The People Assemblies turn over on a six-monthly basis.
01:14:32.000We annihilate the professional political class.
01:14:34.000There is no professional political class now.
01:14:36.000There's sort of just locally elected assemblies that govern the resources of that borough, and everyone gets a voice.
01:14:42.000I mean, it's going to be difficult, and it's not going to be perfect, but we're not replacing perfection.
01:14:46.000Like, for example, Gareth, when you look at polygamy and polyamory, if you read a bit about it, and you're like, what would it be like if a woman has three or four partners, or a man, or anyone of any gender has, like, multiple partners?
01:14:56.000And you read a bit about it, and you're fucking ill.
01:16:33.000We're going to finish our review of Night and Day 4 by George Orwell and we're going to announce the winner of the artwork and we're going to announce our new book.
