00:00:04.000Wherever you're watching this right now, the whole show is only available on Rumble.
00:00:09.000Join us there for the unexpurgated, uncensored version of this show where we use freedom of speech to unite people, to bring people together.
00:00:17.000God knows it's needed now more than ever.
00:00:19.000Press the red join button to join us on Locals.
00:00:21.000That's where I always respond to the comments and speak to my little community on there.
00:01:25.000We've had a few guests around this subject and it's fascinating because fact is we all need food like the same way that 10% of the United States gets its water from a little river running through Ohio.
00:01:38.000Hopefully nothing toxic's been spilled there lately.
00:01:41.000If you're joining us on YouTube now you're going to want to click over onto Rumble because we're going to be talking about this extraordinary thing.
00:01:47.000I don't know if you've heard about it There's been this massive spike, and I use the word spike deliberately, to demonstrate that heart attacks in young people has gone up by 30% since the pandemic.
00:02:01.000It's almost like something happened during the pandemic that caused young people to start having heart attacks.
00:02:06.000Obviously we won't be discussing that on YouTube, but we'll be discussing it in a moment.
00:02:10.000But In other news, democracy is functioning fine.
00:02:15.000We've got a new presidential candidate, the first one, the first rival to Trump, I suppose she is, Nikki Haley.
00:02:21.000Let's have a little look at her speech and see if you spot any veiled digs at any current power players.
00:02:28.000Just see, watch this very carefully, see if you can spot who she might be having a dig at.
00:02:49.000Why would anyone need a mandated competence test?
00:02:53.000I can't think of anybody that would benefit from having their mental state tested, can you?
00:02:56.000America is a nation that can be defined in a single word.
00:03:04.000I think we all enjoy that kind of rhetoric, you know, that in the post-Trump era, populist rhetoric has returned.
00:03:10.000Talking about curbing the amount of time that people are in Congress, making sure that incompetent folk out of legacy and connections can't just rise to the top.
00:03:20.000But here's a list of some of the billionaires that are funding Nikki Haley's campaign.
00:03:32.000Some people look at America and see vulnerability.
00:03:36.000The socialist left sees an opportunity to rewrite history.
00:03:41.000When you call these people the socialist left, I know in your country you've been really coached to not like socialism and quite rightly, after the failure of the Soviet Union, Maoism and the concentration of power that traditional conventional socialism awards government, which we are totally against.
00:03:57.000We believe in decentralised models and your ability to democratically run your community.
00:04:02.000But calling these people socialists, look at that, $140 million between them.
00:04:08.000I don't think you can call yourself a socialist if you've got $120 million, much of which may have been accrued from your partner's stock market trading, and he may have picked up a few tips, given that she heavily regulates, or doesn't heavily regulate, but is involved in the regulation of some of the industries he owns stocks in.
00:05:17.000And what you might get are different systems, more just, fair systems.
00:05:20.000Because, let's face it, what we are living in now is not democracy.
00:05:24.000We are living in a globalist, corporatist state, where many of the laws and regulations that affect your life are determined by bodies that are unelected.
00:05:33.000Gareth, had you even heard of, until very recently, of a thing called... Like, we've all heard of the IMF.
00:05:47.000Just out there, the world's going, what are, all these sort of, oh, what, you think they're trying to achieve a new world order?
00:05:52.000You think there's an aim to have a world government?
00:05:55.000Where do you come up with these crackpot conspiracies?
00:05:59.000Next you'll be saying that they cut money and expenditure on trains and that led to a train crash that's polluting American rivers and killing American fish.
00:06:06.000Well, this crazy talk of there being a world government seems like little more than the rantings of a conspiracy theorist.
00:06:15.000Over now to the World Government Summit with Elon Musk addressing them beautifully.
00:06:22.000I should say, I know this is called the World Government Summit, but I think we should be maybe a little bit concerned about actually becoming too much of a single world government.
00:06:34.000If I may say that we... Who booked this guy?
00:06:37.000This is our first World Government Summit.
00:07:21.000It's not like it's a simple corporate jamboree.
00:07:24.000The WHO now are lobbying for a treaty to be passed that would implement the greater ability for global surveillance, biometric data to be captured.
00:07:35.000We'll be talking about this in our presentation a little later.
00:07:39.000They've released an international pandemic treaty which will give them new sweeping surveillance powers.
00:07:43.000The treaty requires the WHO's 194 member states to strengthen the One Health surveillance system.
00:07:49.000It's only 98% of all countries in the world though, Ross.
00:07:52.000I think you're getting a little overly Well it's only 98% and what about that 2% countries that have not got even proper flags?
00:07:59.000Hopefully those guys are going to rally pretty hard.
00:08:02.000They obviously are using Covid-19 to legitimise the necessity for global surveillance but many of us believe that the pandemic shows why you need more democracy, why you need more open discourse, why you need more openness, why you need science to be open and empirical rather than ideologically led and I think you'll agree with us that more and more evidence is being revealed and released that suggests that that isn't the template that's being followed.
00:08:29.000Later of course we're going to be talking about the rise of 30% in death by heart attack in young people which we cannot talk about on YouTube because by some weird coincidence by some weird conspiracy theory Google are regulated by the WHO nominally and electively.
00:08:46.000They use the WHO's guidelines to regulate their community.
00:09:55.000Just to come back to Ursula von der Leyen.
00:09:57.000So there was an investigation by Investigate Europe who found deals for doses happened behind closed doors between the EU and pharmaceutical companies.
00:10:05.000New variants, international competition and darkness around manufacturing costs have allowed Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna to increase the bill for European taxpayers.
00:10:13.000So this all came about when she was meant to, obviously she's meant to disclose these texts and hasn't done.
00:10:18.000Albert Borla, do you remember when Janine Small from Pfizer revealed something that we can't talk about on YouTube until later, but revealed something fairly important.
00:10:28.000At that same committee, Albert Borla was meant to testify and pulled out of the appointment himself.
00:10:33.000So no one's really saying anything about something which involves 10 billion euros of public money being spent on these vaccines.
00:11:07.000We've got a really important and exciting guest coming on now.
00:11:12.000Stacey Balkan is the co-founder of US Right to Know, which Gareth will tell you a little more about later.
00:11:17.000We have to find reliable sources for our content so that we don't end up using the witterings of hysterical lunatics.
00:11:25.000Instead, we find truth tellers in the case of Right to Know, expose corporate corruption and government failures that threaten our health, and in particular, Our food systems.
00:12:56.000But we report through these documents to lay out and explain what they show about how the company runs its science denial Disinformation campaigns it likes a tobacco industry like the fossil fuel industry although I think in some ways more effectively because they have the power of Mainstream academia on their side with many professors and universities who seem to be independent but they're not as our research has shown many of them are actually getting paid by
00:13:26.000Monsanto and working directly with pesticide companies to do their public relations and lobbying for them.
00:13:33.000So we lay out the key tactics that they use.
00:13:38.000It's sort of an astonishing array of tactics.
00:13:41.000It's really a lot of desperate tactics, in my view, I think is the bottom line finding of our report that it takes to support this business model that the pesticide companies have.
00:13:59.000I mean, Merchants of Poison sounds like a very good paper and a bloody good thrash metal band name.
00:14:04.000I know Gareth in particular uses Right To Know a lot.
00:14:09.000Gareth, what in particular do you want to follow up on that Stacey was asking you about?
00:14:13.000I just think it's really interesting the way that your organisation, as Russell says, we use you a lot and you do some fantastic investigations, but you've also been smeared and discredited by some of the mainstream media now, and you were just talking about the ways in which universities are funded by Monsanto and things.
00:14:30.000What do you feel about censorship at the moment and the way that you've been kind of discredited yourselves and what direction is that going and is it becoming harder to tell the truth like you're doing?
00:14:43.000Well, it's very intense and we were attacked right out of the gate when we started our organization in 2015.
00:14:50.000And the reason was because we were looking where Monsanto and the pesticide companies didn't want us looking.
00:14:56.000And we first came up against Monsanto about 10 years ago when we tried to label genetically engineered foods in California.
00:15:45.000So my colleague at that time, Gary Ruskin, and I started US Right to Know, and he filed many public records requests For the emails of academics that we suspected were working with Monsanto, over the years we've dug up tens of thousands of pages of documents from agrochemical industry, now also the ultra processed food industry.
00:16:08.000We also investigate the origins of COVID-19.
00:16:12.000And we found many news breaking documents that have led to our own investigations, front page investigations in the New York Times and many other media outlets.
00:16:25.000We at one point, revealed that Monsanto had an entire PR campaign to try to discredit our group.
00:16:34.000There's a 31-page Monsanto document, a PR plan involving 11 Monsanto employees, several PR firms, and we were three people.
00:16:47.000So this is how threatened they are by transparency, by their own documents and what they show about how they run their business.
00:16:56.000That's so astonishing that they will go to so much trouble to repress the truth rather than behaving ethically.
00:17:04.000Clearly what is often pointed to as science, continually this term is used, as if it's a new orthodoxy, a new unequivocal monolith of truth, when in fact it's often been funded, paid for.
00:17:20.000Food monopolies preventing information entering the mainstream, Even about recognized, popularly eaten and ordinarily recognized brands like Pepsi, Kellogg's, Coca-Cola.
00:17:34.000As I understand, many of these processed food brands spend a lot of money publishing, like on influencing studies and repressing information about the damage that their products do.
00:17:47.000And the Monsanto documents, again as an example, show many ways that the company was manipulating the scientific record over decades.
00:17:54.000So, like ghostwriting studies, choosing friendly scientists to write particular narratives, strong-arming regulatory agencies, shoddy science.
00:18:05.000There was a recent study looking at the corporate science that was provided to regulatory agencies for glyphosate approval, And many of the studies were based on old, outdated
00:18:48.000And we talk a lot in the report about the very aggressive, unprecedented campaign that they ran to try to discredit the World Health Organization's Cancer Research Agency, which found in 2015 that glyphosate was a probable human carcinogen.
00:19:05.000So they personally and viciously attack scientists.
00:19:13.000In a sense, this is the very essence of what's meant by systemic corruption, the inability to tell truthful stories, to convey information that's beneficial to people that gets in the way of profit.
00:19:25.000Now, I don't want to give the impression that the man's gotten into my head too much, because I did literally dream about Bill Gates recently, which I talked about on our show that's available for our locals community.
00:19:35.000Click the red button if you want to join that and get access to our additional content.
00:19:40.000Bill Gates, is a lead investor in biotech companies that patent food.
00:19:46.000Vandana Shiva is a great friend of our show and a great mentor of ours, and she talks continually about the negative impact that Bill Gates has had on her country, India, and on many countries in the continent of Africa.
00:20:00.000Is there anything in your research around Monsanto and elsewhere in Big Agra, Big Food, and tech that has brought Bill Gates's name and his funding entities to the forefront?
00:20:12.000I've done a lot of reporting on Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation, particularly focusing on their campaign to expand industrial chemical intensive agriculture in Africa.
00:20:22.000So they spent about $6 million on that effort under the banner of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa.
00:20:31.000And this is despite the No evidence showing that it's achieved anywhere near the things they, you know, wildly and boldly promise about feeding the world and helping the poor.
00:20:43.000African groups across the continent have protested against the Gates Foundation, have tried to bring their views to the Gates Foundation.
00:20:50.000They've been almost entirely ignored as they double down on these efforts to push Corporate controlled agriculture, seed laws that actually can criminalize seed saving and seed exchanges.
00:21:03.000In some cases, that's a huge fight happening in Africa right now.
00:21:07.000And I've also written about, you know, what is Bill Gates food agenda in?
00:21:12.000Plans to transform our food system, which he talks about all the time under the guise of helping the climate and feeding the poor But really what it's about is monocultures patented foods and ultra processed foods and this push for techno foods, you know, basically the the pesticide industry scheme is patented seeds A handful of crops, getting farmers to grow huge monocultures that depend on pesticides and fertilizers that are harming the soil, that are harming people and our health.
00:21:49.000And these crops don't even feed people.
00:21:53.000They're used mostly for cars, for cows, and for ultra-processed food factories.
00:22:01.000Oh, Stacey, you're getting a lot of love from our community down here.
00:22:05.000People like Feel The M and Susan, Maria Hall, all sending love and very grateful for the work that you're doing.
00:22:14.000Gareth, have you got any more inquiries about your fellow journalists there at US Right To Know?
00:22:18.000Yeah, it's so interesting about Bill Gates, you know, obviously the kind of hero-worship that he's had over the last couple of years, and yet at the same time we have discovered that he's the biggest farmland owner in the United States now.
00:22:30.000How much of a connection do you see between that ownership of farmland now that he has, and these plans for ultra-processed food and changing the food systems?
00:22:40.000Yeah, well, you know, he says he bought the farmland because his investment company told him to.
00:23:00.000You know, they're building more of these factories and if you look at what's actually in these food factories and companies like Ginkgo Bioworks, which Bill Gates is a big investor and I've written a lot about that company.
00:23:12.000You know, it's energy intensive, plastic intensive, ultra ultra processed foods that consumers are not even saying they want.
00:23:23.000So, You know, is this the food system that we want?
00:23:28.000And I think people don't want this food system and that we need to find ways to de-escalate, decentralize, bring food back to local communities and grow it in ways that are based on agroecological principles and that actually help farmers and communities.
00:23:48.000The farmers in Africa are really mad at Bill Gates and he's not listening to them.
00:23:54.000No, what he does, dear Bill Gates, is he claims he's helping people.
00:23:58.000He turns up on the internet nibbling on a corn cob, claiming that everything he does is for the benefit of mankind.
00:24:05.000This week we've been speaking about big food and how diabetes, heart disease, cancer would be considerably reduced and some have even suggested ...eliminated altogether were processed foods to be removed from our diet.
00:24:18.000It seems increasingly that we are encouraged not to look at, and obviously to financially support, agricultural dietary measures that are bad for the planet, bad for us individually, bad for our health, bad for our culture, bad for our society, and then when someone like you and your organization questions it, You become the subject of smearing campaigns.
00:24:40.000This is precisely in microcosm, and indeed globally, how we've come to imagine and assume these systems are working.
00:24:48.000But it's always so valuable, Stacey, to get an opportunity to access the research that you have done that stops it being the wild conjecture of a madman and brings it into a place of journalistic integrity.
00:25:01.000Thank you so much for joining us today, Stacey, for that fantastic interview.
00:25:04.000I know that we'll be talking to you more, at least I hope so.
00:25:09.000And everyone, you can follow our work at USRTK.org and please also sign up for our weekly free newsletter to find out about our investigations because we have lots more going on in the food industry, COVID-19 origins, and lots more on the pesticide companies.
00:25:50.000I've got so much respect for these people that kind of dedicate their lives to finding out truth, you know, and when there's so much pushback against them, it's pretty amazing.
00:26:03.000In a way, this for me helps to demonstrate that it increasingly is not important what your cultural or even political identity is, but that you are interested in freedom.
00:26:14.000Freedom, which by the way is now subject to a campaign to turn it into a word that is divisive and even bigoted.
00:26:22.000You know, when we talk about freedom, we mean your individual freedom to be who you are, obviously, without harming other people.
00:26:33.000Groups like Right To Know are doing diligent, fastidious, necessary work to demonstrate and prove that what many of us feel, that something isn't right, that we're not being told the truth, that they're making decisions that are not for our benefit, Claiming that it's for our safety, for our convenience, their kindness, all these extraordinary tropes that we hear again and again and increasingly becoming suspicious of.
00:26:57.000The work of people like Stacey demonstrates that it's true.
00:27:00.000And then you get, you know, again, it's not always to paint Bill Gates as the biggest villain.
00:27:05.000I mean, it's quite plainly, it's not just the realm of conspiracy that he's up to these things.
00:27:11.000Like Stacey, we've just been talked through some of the things that he's up to.
00:27:14.000But when he goes on the media and the most that he'll get is someone either talking about Jeffrey Epstein or saying, do you think it's bad that you take those private jets all the time?
00:27:46.000Why are you investing in all these media companies?
00:27:49.000And then would we just plainly go, look, we think this, Bill, you're totally loaded and that.
00:27:54.000You've gone a bit mad and you want to wind it in a little bit.
00:27:58.000I think Bill Gates will just always have an answer of, this is designed for the good of humanity and the good of society.
00:28:04.000You know, he'll always have, like with these food systems at the moment and the ultra-processed food, as with the stuff in Africa, it's always, they've got a problem in Africa, we need to go and help them, this is the only way it can be done.
00:28:16.000But when you then hear that people in Africa are like, we don't want this and it's not helping, you know, that's the side that you don't hear.
00:28:22.000You just hear of the philanthropy that, you know, even though as we have spoken about recently, they seem to have more money coming in than going out at that foundation.
00:29:29.000He kept mentioning this geezer called Yuri... Hold on a second, let me find him because I've got a clip of him from my mate Tony Robbins sent me this.
00:29:36.000Like this guy called... What's he called?
00:29:38.000Like he's a Soviet defector... Hold on, his name comes up.
00:29:52.000And he talks a lot in the show about instability, that we're living in a time of instability and how it may have been engineered.
00:30:00.000If you want to learn more and get more deeply involved with our stuff, and if you're interested in meditation, which I strongly suggest you do get involved in because you need to have access to peace.
00:30:10.000It's an intense world and it's intense time.
00:30:13.000On our locals community I do a weekly meditation with someone from the community.
00:30:17.000I did one earlier today with Farrah on the subject of self-love.
00:30:23.000We did one last week with another friend of mine.
00:30:25.000Meditations that address what you're feeling personally.
00:30:28.000Also you get a look at the show behind the show where I talk about crazy dreams and we go deep don't we sometimes Gareth?
00:30:33.000It's a moment of relief and respite from the intensity of talking about these data-oriented, challenging stories.
00:30:42.000Sometimes there's strikes on YouTube, there's complex things for us to deal with here, death threats, lots of fascinating stories when it comes to the show behind the show.
00:30:50.000So join us on Locals, just click on that red button, you can join us there and that's the chat I tend to look at when we're up live.
00:31:00.000Another fantastic conversation and we've got some wonderful conversations coming up next week and I'll be letting you know about how you can come and see me live if you're in Florida or Los Angeles in about a week's time because we're going over there to do Rogan and Bill Maher and Tucker and all of that kind of stuff.
