Stay Free - Russel Brand - Why Zelensky REALLY Wants US Tanks - #071 - Stay Free With Russell Brand

00:00:00.000 I'm going to go ahead and put it in the water.

00:00:27.000 I'm going to put it in the water.

00:01:28.000 you you

00:01:32.000 Hello there, you Awakening Wonders.

00:01:33.000 Thanks for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:01:36.000 We've got an amazing show today.

00:01:38.000 We're going to be talking to you about yet more documents that Biden has concealed, and also beyond the documents themselves, the very notion that the powerful have access to Clandestine material that we have to be protected from, when in the most recent case in history, the revelations say from WikiLeaks and Daniel Hale, usually that information is not about stuff that would make you incredibly happy and compliant if you had access to it.

00:02:07.000 We're going to be talking about Trump's reaction to Biden's documents, which is brilliant, like he hones in on some really odd details.

00:02:14.000 The US indeed are sending tanks to Ukraine.

00:02:17.000 If you're watching this on YouTube now, stay with us.

00:02:20.000 We stay on YouTube for about 10 minutes because we want access to you.

00:02:23.000 We want to tell you the truth.

00:02:24.000 But after about 10 minutes, we go over to Rumble explicitly, exclusively because we're going to talk about stuff that you cannot talk about on this platform.

00:02:34.000 In this instance, we're talking about the NIH's poor oversight of COVID research that was taking place Well, that doesn't mean anything.

00:02:45.000 It doesn't mean anything.

00:02:47.000 Coincidence, I think.

00:02:49.000 It's a sliding doors moment.

00:02:51.000 It has set a series of coincidences and unfortunate events.

00:02:54.000 There's just been revelations about the NIH perhaps not tracking or observing protocols at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

00:03:03.000 That doesn't mean Anything!

00:03:05.000 We're also going to be looking at Zelensky's love letter to US corporations.

00:03:10.000 It's extraordinary if you're an anti-establishment, anti-corporatist person, whether you're from the left or right, to see someone list corporations like BlackRock and JP Morgan with such reverence and optimism.

00:03:27.000 But before we get into any of that, perhaps we should look at that Delicious little army of robot dogs that are preparing now for the moments when you rise up en masse against your corrupt government and the globalist corporate movement.

00:03:40.000 Don't worry about anything because there's just a robot dog army being prepared to bring down dissenters.

00:03:50.000 Let's have a look at those little guys.

00:03:52.000 Music being added.

00:04:00.000 Sure, I hope so.

00:04:01.000 They can't be working out for that.

00:04:02.000 It really is terrifying.

00:04:03.000 Do you think there's one little robot dog that sort of just don't fit in and it could be a Pixar movie?

00:04:08.000 Yeah, the Russell Brown dog.

00:04:10.000 Oh God, what are we supposed to be doing?

00:04:11.000 We're a dystopian robot army, I don't fit in round here!

00:04:14.000 Like when you were in the Marines for a day.

00:04:16.000 I was a good Marine, gal.

00:04:18.000 I put my Marine Corps, what do you call them, your troop, my buddies, my pals in the Marines.

00:04:24.000 Yeah, I was in the Marines for a day.

00:04:25.000 It was a difficult time.

00:04:26.000 The assault course was difficult.

00:04:27.000 I went through a lot of things emotionally.

00:04:29.000 I respect the Marines, that I'll tell you, but I struggled to be one.

00:04:36.000 You may be disillusioned with Joe Biden. 0.99

00:04:39.000 God love him, the cadaverous, juddering, shuddering, half-asleep, dopey old sausage. 0.97

00:04:45.000 And occasionally, it's a joy to see Trump talk in that peculiarly human and odd manner that only he does. 0.97

00:04:53.000 In this instance, he's talking about Biden's endless docks, I suppose as part of his campaign to make America great again again again again

00:05:01.000 again again in 2024 potentially against Ron DeSantis who's gonna win though in

00:05:05.000 that that battle of those two colossi of the right. Let's have a look at him

00:05:10.000 talking about the documents I love this.

00:05:14.000 We have two standards of justice in our country One for people like you and me, and one for the corrupt political class.

00:05:21.000 What I like about that is that Donald Trump has put himself in a category.

00:05:26.000 I sometimes feel like I'm pushing it a bit.

00:05:29.000 Ordinary people like us, because I'm a bit weird, I wear strange stuff.

00:05:33.000 I'm unusual, I'm peculiar, but I am basically a normal bloke from Essex who's been in Hollywood for a bit and now I'm on the internet.

00:05:40.000 Donald Trump is different from everyone in the whole world.

00:05:43.000 There's no one else that's like Donald Trump.

00:05:44.000 He's a very particular individual.

00:05:46.000 Even in the Trump family, Trump stands out.

00:05:49.000 Even when he's got them other Trumps around him who adore him.

00:05:51.000 Even that new Trump, Barron Trump, it's all sort of the long name Trump.

00:05:55.000 You see that guy walking down the street, you're gonna notice him, aren't you?

00:05:59.000 There's an extraordinary array of colours and peculiarities and idiosyncrasies that draw the eye.

00:06:03.000 could just blend in fairly easily but he's not blending in.

00:06:06.000 You see that guy walking down the street you're gonna notice him aren't you?

00:06:11.000 There's an extraordinary array of sort of colours and peculiarities

00:06:15.000 and idiosyncrasies that draw the eye. This is not even a partisan view of him

00:06:20.000 it's just him as a sort of a unique creature. There are many.

00:06:26.000 At the very same moment when my ultra-secure Mar-a-Lago home was raided by the FBI.

00:06:33.000 Even when he talks about Mar-a-Lago, he's bigging up the security of Mar-a-Lago.

00:06:38.000 Everything about him is hyperbole.

00:06:40.000 Everything about him is superlative.

00:06:42.000 He talks only in extremes.

00:06:44.000 It's almost suggesting that those files would be more secure at his home.

00:06:48.000 Better there.

00:06:49.000 You should keep all the other files there.

00:06:50.000 They'd be alright there.

00:06:51.000 Keep Julian Assange.

00:06:52.000 Most secure home in America.

00:06:54.000 Beautifully secure.

00:06:55.000 Julian Assange, keep him by the swimming pool.

00:06:58.000 Edward Snowden, he's hit by putting range.

00:07:01.000 Joe Biden was harboring classified documents in his China-funded Penn Center and his unsecured garage.

00:07:10.000 Right on the floor, piles of paper.

00:07:12.000 The floor was probably very wet and damp, as many garages are.

00:07:17.000 That's an amazing conjecture.

00:07:19.000 They were on the floor, the garage was not secure.

00:07:21.000 Just strewn.

00:07:23.000 Now we've gone from a matter of international security down to whether or not he's got rising damp in his garage or whether he needs lagging.

00:07:31.000 He should consider some lagging.

00:07:33.000 He needs to insulate that space before keeping classified documents in there.

00:07:36.000 You don't miss a trick, does he?

00:07:39.000 No.

00:07:39.000 Mar-a-Lago is super secure.

00:07:41.000 His garage isn't locked up.

00:07:42.000 It's probably damp.

00:07:44.000 Red's in there. 0.89

00:07:45.000 Hunter's old pornography.

00:07:46.000 He paints vivid images.

00:07:50.000 That's why whenever you see Biden communicating, it seems particularly lacklustre.

00:07:56.000 Specifically, I think, when Biden, in the mode, modality and timbre of an ordinary politician, is making pledges upon which you know he will later renege.

00:08:05.000 Prior to this conflict in Ukraine, he outlined specifically and deliberately the impossibility of military equipment being sent to Ukraine because it would be, literally verbatim in his words, World War 3.

00:08:19.000 Here he is saying that.

00:08:20.000 Let's look.

00:08:22.000 Look, the idea, the idea that we're going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews.

00:08:33.000 I think anyone thought Thomas the Tank Engine was going to go to Ukraine.

00:08:37.000 No one's asked for trains, surely.

00:08:39.000 Who wants that? 1.00

00:08:40.000 That's complicated.

00:08:41.000 You've got to lay the tracks, the rails.

00:08:42.000 No one's talking about planes, trains, automobiles.

00:08:44.000 That's John Candy, Steve Martin.

00:08:46.000 Tanks, evidently tanks are back in vogue.

00:08:49.000 Everyone's talking about them now.

00:08:51.000 Just understand, and don't kid yourself, no matter what you all say, that's called World War Three.

00:08:59.000 Leaned into the mic, the mic's popping, the mic's feeding back on that.

00:09:02.000 World War Three.

00:09:05.000 So, how are we being asked to forget that framing of just a couple of years ago?

00:09:10.000 Why are we being expected to understand the war is only beginning at their sanctioned commencement day.

00:09:20.000 It's an extraordinary piece of storytelling, but directly next to it, let's look at the, you know,

00:09:25.000 the actual delivery of military equipment.

00:09:27.000 Today, I'm announcing that the United States will be sending 31 Abram tanks to Ukraine.

00:09:34.000 Oh, OK then.

00:09:35.000 Well, are there going to be some cranes also?

00:09:40.000 I guess he just never stands up well against Trump when it comes to pure oratory.

00:09:46.000 No, because Trump would have found a way for that to sound like Trump was doing a good thing.

00:09:51.000 I mean, the way that he Describe those documents.

00:09:53.000 Essentially all the news at the start, certainly the say CNN news, was about how Biden's documents just wasn't as serious as Trump's.

00:10:02.000 Trump's like managed to flip that with one little phrase about how secure Mar-a-Lago is.

00:10:07.000 He'd have probably done the same with the trains and the tanks.

00:10:10.000 Yeah he would have made that sound better.

00:10:11.000 Did you see the mainstream media talking about how many documents Joe Biden Actually has.

00:10:19.000 Look, Gareth, try and think of a way of visualising a number of documents and I want you to do this at home as well and let us know in the chat and the comments and if you're watching this on YouTube, stay with us but remember, click over to Rumble in a minute when we start talking about that NIH story and the origins of the thing that must not be discussed.

00:10:34.000 Let's look now at the mainstream media Offering us the opportunity to envisage, using analogy and metaphor, the sheer amount of files Biden has.

00:10:46.000 How do you want to see it?

00:10:47.000 Do you want to see it as like a tub of files, a vat of files, a cathedral of files?

00:10:52.000 How should we envisage it?

00:10:54.000 We now have new information on the bulk of documents that Joe Biden donated to his alma mater, the University of Delaware.

00:11:01.000 According to lawyers representing the parties who are trying to get to these documents, there are 1,850 boxes and 415 gigabytes of electronic records consisting of the so-called Biden records.

00:11:14.000 The documents are said to fill up two tractor-trailer trucks.

00:11:18.000 It's a really odd tongue twister because she sounds like she could do... That's not a sentence she should be tackling.

00:11:26.000 Two trailer tractor trucks full of Biden documents!

00:11:29.000 Yeah, that sounds like a warm-up you would do before you go on air.

00:11:32.000 It's a vocal warm-up!

00:11:33.000 Two toads totally tired of trying to track the trailer trucks! 0.56

00:11:38.000 But the thing is, is that even in spite of this escalating conflict, there is still more chance of us dying of climate change as opposed to nuclear war.

00:11:51.000 That's what Biden claims.

00:11:53.000 Global warming is a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear war.

00:11:55.000 I'm not sure about right now.

00:11:58.000 In the immediate, you wouldn't think.

00:11:59.000 I'm not like, when I was a teenager, I didn't fall asleep at night thinking, oh no, it's getting hotter and hotter, sea levels are going to rise, ultimately.

00:12:08.000 This is, in a sense, something that you have to hold in your consciousness, along with solar flares, the inevitability of death.

00:12:18.000 Nuclear war is so immediate, so impulsive, so easy to connect to the kind of emotional tunes of rage, conflict, greed and mendacity that you continually hear being played.

00:12:32.000 For me, it feels like a much more vivid phrase.

00:12:33.000 I mean, let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, what are you more concerned about right now?

00:12:38.000 Right now!

00:12:39.000 Listen, if you're watching this on YouTube, click over and join us on Rumble.

00:12:43.000 We've got a fantastic guest coming up talking about new global movements, the CIA spying on politicians in our country, Britain, as well as your own, and the necessity for new communities and organisations if we're ever going to stand up to elite, centralised, globalist forces.

00:13:01.000 Join us in a minute and also we're going to be talking about that NIH story about the protocols and breaches of security and just basic hygiene and safety that were taking place during a very important time.

00:13:12.000 I'll go too much DL on YouTube but it seems that the NIH weren't as careful as they could have been with experiments and clinical trials.

00:13:19.000 Who was in charge of the NIH at that point?

00:13:21.000 A little known and underappreciated man called Anthony Fauci who's a good guy who just doesn't have nearly enough fanfare around his... No.

00:13:31.000 Many unrewarded, unfinancially motivated achievements in this crazy world.

00:13:36.000 A few more documentaries, I think.

00:13:38.000 Let's make a few more documentaries about how great he is.

00:13:40.000 That's what's needed with Anthony Fauci.

00:13:42.000 Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister of our country, he says you don't have to worry about escalating the conflicts in Ukraine.

00:13:48.000 How is he still getting invites?

00:13:49.000 Why is he still even near you?

00:13:51.000 What's the matter?

00:13:52.000 He's two Prime Ministers ago and he's not relevant anymore.

00:13:55.000 I wouldn't have thought.

00:13:55.000 We're going to be leaving YouTube in a moment, OK?

00:13:58.000 So I'm just letting you know.

00:14:00.000 But you should click over, join us on Rumble where we're going to talk about that NIH story and on our presentation today, here's the news, no here's the effing news, we're going to be talking about Zelensky's deals with major globalist corporations to reconstruct Ukraine.

00:14:16.000 You won't believe how plain, how evident and obvious the opportunities for profiteering are.

00:14:23.000 This is not conspiracy theory, this is business as usual.

00:14:26.000 Almost like that was the plan all along, almost like.

00:14:28.000 Almost like.

00:14:29.000 I'm saying it could be Has there ever been in history America dabbling in foreign affairs, instilling or installing a favorable leader in a nation, ultimately toppling them, rebuilding that country for profit?

00:14:45.000 Can you remember any occasions?

00:14:46.000 It's just that's been an incessant trope of American foreign policy.

00:14:52.000 Goodbye YouTube, because I'm... Not forever.

00:14:55.000 No, we'll be on.

00:14:57.000 We love you guys.

00:14:58.000 But we're going to leave now because I'm going to express myself.

00:15:00.000 I'm going to unbutton my top a little bit.

00:15:02.000 Another button's coming off.

00:15:03.000 I've got me a hankering for some freedom of speech, gal.

00:15:07.000 That's what's calling me.

00:15:10.000 Here's the news.

00:15:10.000 We're going to look at this NIH story.

00:15:12.000 Shall we have a quick look at this, Gareth?

00:15:13.000 Help me to say it in a way that's responsible because this is how I understand it and I want to explain this to everybody watching.

00:15:19.000 Let me know in the chat and comments if you've heard this story.

00:15:21.000 The NIH were funding trials in Wuhan at the Wuhan Institute of Virology Through the EcoHealth Alliance, that's that Peter Daszak dude, him that likes to go down the bat caves and snoop about, prodding bats up the gland, squeezing out their dirty little bat juices and seeing how you can make them a bit worse. 0.65

00:15:40.000 Oh no, I've made it worse!

00:15:41.000 But luckily we'll be able to find a solution as well, right?

00:15:44.000 I think I'm understanding this story correctly.

00:15:47.000 So the NIH were funding trials at the Wuhan Institute of Virology during the time that the coronavirus pandemic began, which is widely understood to have began in Wuhan. 0.54

00:15:57.000 Some people say down the old stinky old dirty old wet market.

00:16:00.000 Some people say in the Wuhan Institute of Virology and some people say it's bioengineered.

00:16:05.000 Those are the three theories that emerged at the point of the origin.

00:16:10.000 One of those theories was prized and presented and the other two were, broadly speaking, neglected.

00:16:14.000 Well, there's news stories to say that the National Institute of Health were somewhat remiss in their general handling and reporting on that incident.

00:16:22.000 Am I being fair?

00:16:23.000 Yeah, you are.

00:16:23.000 Apparently there's a report that's saying they did not properly track EcoHealth Alliance who were studying coronaviruses.

00:16:30.000 And this has reinforced concerns about the federal government's system for monitoring research with potentially risky pathogens for obvious reasons

00:16:38.000 because if you've got a now what's coming to light if you've got a group like EcoHealth

00:16:42.000 Alliance and Peter Daszak that you spoke of yeah that are conducting studies on coronavirus at

00:16:46.000 the World Health Institute of Virology and now we're hearing well through this report

00:16:50.000 things about missed deadlines confusing protocols misspent funds. It's like they're uh sort of a

00:16:56.000 teenager that you're worried about.

00:16:58.000 Yeah, right.

00:16:59.000 Oh no, they're missing deadlines.

00:17:01.000 They've wasted their pocket money.

00:17:02.000 Yeah.

00:17:03.000 They're lying.

00:17:03.000 Well it's a lot of pocket money because apparently it was about eight million dollars worth of... Whose money was that ultimately?

00:17:08.000 Where did it come from?

00:17:08.000 I think that may have come from the taxpayer.

00:17:10.000 It's your money!

00:17:11.000 It's your money!

00:17:12.000 That's why they don't care.

00:17:13.000 They don't spend it correctly.

00:17:14.000 The Biden administration has made reducing the risk of laboratory accidents a major plank of its pandemic preparedness strategy.

00:17:20.000 Isn't that the thing with C-3PO?

00:17:22.000 That's an interesting, yes it is, and that's an interesting sentence, isn't it?

00:17:24.000 Because you'd think that that's slightly suggesting that laboratory accidents being a major plank of pandemic preparedness strategy is like, they're kind of acknowledging these things could occur in a lab.

00:17:38.000 Not that it could have obviously occurred in a lab then.

00:17:40.000 That's completely different because there was the stinking wet market.

00:17:43.000 So it couldn't have happened then, but in the future it could.

00:17:46.000 Hold on, I want to build a case.

00:17:47.000 So we're saying now, at the time that the coronavirus pandemic began in Wuhan, the NIH were funding research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology But they weren't doing it carefully.

00:18:02.000 We've carefully observed deadlines and diligent protocols.

00:18:06.000 They were being, what I might describe, slapdash, cavalier.

00:18:09.000 And I would say that if your job at work is to take viruses and pathogens and make them more lethal and deadly, you shouldn't be carrying it out like it's jazz.

00:18:18.000 You're old school, Ross.

00:18:19.000 When I do my pathogen research, I'm focused.

00:18:22.000 And this is the only thing in the room.

00:18:23.000 It's just me.

00:18:24.000 That's not how the kids do it these days.

00:18:25.000 I'm like the Beethoven of pathogen research.

00:18:27.000 All it is, is like, I see it.

00:18:29.000 It's like sympathesia.

00:18:29.000 I'm like Kandinsky.

00:18:30.000 I can see them pathogens.

00:18:31.000 I can feel them moving around.

00:18:32.000 I'm focused.

00:18:33.000 No, pathogens are done like on TikTok these days.

00:18:36.000 Yeah, they're- Quickly, 30 seconds.

00:18:38.000 Yeah, yo, got some pathogens here. 0.94

00:18:39.000 Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.

00:18:41.000 Oi, when you gonna give us that research back?

00:18:44.000 I don't know, sometime.

00:18:46.000 Bite me! 0.99

00:18:47.000 I'll do it when I'm ready!

00:18:48.000 They're being a little bit lackadaisical, a bit casual about something that, well, I suppose it's another enormous and inconvenient coincidence that exactly that time a terrible new virus emerged from exactly that place.

00:19:04.000 It is that.

00:19:05.000 If you look at that last paragraph there Ross.

00:19:07.000 Why don't you read it?

00:19:07.000 I actually can't see very well.

00:19:08.000 I actually can't see very well.

00:19:10.000 Alright, the NIH did not adequately monitor EcoHealth's grant awards in accordance with

00:19:15.000 its policies and procedures and other federal requirements, the report said.

00:19:19.000 The Watchdog chided the NIH for, among other things, failing to demand a progress report

00:19:25.000 that was two years late.

00:19:26.000 Can we have that progress report?

00:19:28.000 Ask us in a year.

00:19:29.000 If we have that progress report, still not got it.

00:19:32.000 And that health officials later said contained evidence of viral growth in experiments that was supposed to have been reported immediately.

00:19:39.000 That doesn't sound good, because they were two pretty crucial years I would say.

00:19:42.000 So the fact that they were two years late on that report...

00:19:45.000 Did anything happen during that couple of years?

00:19:48.000 Um, yeah, Sue got divorced. 0.79

00:19:50.000 That was, uh, we were a bit sad about that.

00:19:52.000 Obviously, we all had birthdays.

00:19:54.000 Yeah, we had a lovely leaving day for Dave.

00:19:56.000 Uh, yeah.

00:19:57.000 Nice cake.

00:19:58.000 When Dave left, he wasn't that well.

00:19:59.000 It didn't taste great.

00:20:00.000 Dave couldn't taste it, he said.

00:20:01.000 He said something was wrong with his taste.

00:20:03.000 And he did, he felt this mysterious illness.

00:20:05.000 He was coughing and that and all tired.

00:20:07.000 It wasn't that bad, but it was, it was, it was like a cold, but a bit worse.

00:20:12.000 Some sort of thing you need to stop the whole world for, to bang everyone up in their houses.

00:20:17.000 But if Dave, for example, had a respiratory condition, my God, we'd have been really careful there, or if Dave had been very old, then some sort of medicine made at cost, funded by corporations, and if the taxpayer funded it, all those profits would obviously go back to those taxpayers in order to create a fairer world.

00:20:33.000 Anyway, um... What do you tell Dave?

00:20:35.000 Well, we tell him to stay at home, stay indoors, don't do any exercise, and eat as much junk food as he likes.

00:20:40.000 Just eat junk food. 0.98

00:20:41.000 And actually, Dave, we've got some medicine now, and if you take that medicine, we'll give you a free dirty, stinking, fat-covered cake. 0.99

00:20:48.000 These medicines, are they alright? 0.65

00:20:49.000 There's no research available on that, Dave.

00:20:51.000 You're just gonna have to... It'll be available in a few years.

00:20:54.000 There you go.

00:20:55.000 See?

00:20:56.000 Now, what we were doing there, that's called Tatto.

00:20:57.000 I know.

00:20:58.000 We tiptoed around it nimbly.

00:21:00.000 That was like Nijinsky.

00:21:00.000 Nimbly.

00:21:01.000 That was brilliant.

00:21:02.000 I mean, if there are awards available for things like that, and there frankly aren't, we would probably be somewhere in the running.

00:21:08.000 It's good to know that EcoHealth Alliance are still getting money, isn't it though, I think?

00:21:13.000 Keep giving the EcoHealth Alliance your taxpayer money.

00:21:17.000 Get DASAC in those caves as much as possible.

00:21:19.000 It's nice to know that if you're being taxed at 25%, 30%, 40%, whatever it is, that that money is being handled responsibly.

00:21:25.000 That that's not given to the military-industrial complex, it's given to the EcoHealth Alliance.

00:21:29.000 And you'll be happy to know that men like Anthony Fauci are receiving royalties in a variety of ways.

00:21:35.000 It's good to see that the system is working so well.

00:21:38.000 Don't tinker with it.

00:21:39.000 There's no room for another party.

00:21:41.000 There's no room for new, innovative, bold ideas.

00:21:44.000 Just keep it within this very, very narrow framework.

00:21:47.000 Gal, shall we?

00:21:48.000 Ought we?

00:21:48.000 We should.

00:21:49.000 We must.

00:21:50.000 Dare we?

00:21:51.000 OK, now some of you will have been astonished at the handling of this war.

00:21:54.000 the misreporting, the biases, the emphasis on Putin's personal failings and evident

00:22:00.000 tyranny and the focus on the criminality of Russia's invasion with no detailing of the

00:22:06.000 provocation that preceded it.

00:22:09.000 You perhaps will have been surprised to see Zelensky hailed as an international hero and

00:22:13.000 perhaps he is a hero for all I know but seeing him turn up at the Golden Globes for lacrimose

00:22:19.000 parades of propaganda, here he is, Zelensky, getting given People's Oscars and all sorts

00:22:24.000 of crazy stuff going on, perhaps it makes a little more sense when you see Zelensky

00:22:29.000 reading a list of the organisations, let's call them what they are, corporations that

00:22:33.000 will benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine.

00:22:37.000 You saw that list.

00:22:39.000 We saw that list.

00:22:40.000 Is this a proxy war?

00:22:42.000 Are we able to call it that yet?

00:22:43.000 Why are there no voices for peace yet?

00:22:46.000 Let's have a look at Zelensky's list.

00:22:48.000 It's moving.

00:22:49.000 It's touching.

00:22:50.000 It's not Oskar Schindler, but it's, it's, this is the best list since Schindler, is what I'm calling it.

00:22:56.000 Let's have a look at Zelensky's list on Here's the News.

00:22:59.000 Here's the effing news.

00:23:02.000 Thank you for choosing Fox News.

00:23:04.000 Good day.

00:23:05.000 Now, here's the effing news.

00:23:08.000 Zelensky has read out a list of the corporate giants that will be charged with rebuilding,

00:23:14.000 reconstructing, privatizing Ukraine.

00:23:17.000 Having heard that list, is it finally safe for us to call this war what it is?

00:23:22.000 A proxy war that is about destabilizing Russia and the privatization of Ukraine? 0.94

00:23:28.000 Of course also, Putin is evil. 1.00

00:23:29.000 Putin is evil! 0.98

00:23:32.000 Today we are talking about Zelensky's list. 0.60

00:23:35.000 Having already in 2022, by the way, rung that bell that opens the stock market.

00:23:41.000 And if that's not a clear indication where your affiliations lie, then this list is.

00:23:45.000 He lists like JP Morgan, BlackRock, it's essentially the avengers of big globalist corporations who are now going to profit, unless we're still being told they're doing this for humanitarian reasons, in the reconstruction of Ukraine.

00:23:59.000 Now that we've heard this list, now that we've seen Zelensky turn up at the Golden Globes and other propagandist events, Is it okay for us to say that this war is about more than helping Ukrainian people confront evil tyranny in the form of Putin?

00:24:14.000 Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments.

00:24:16.000 Let's have a look at Zelensky's list of heroes.

00:24:19.000 It is obvious that American business can become the locomotive that will once again push forward global economic growth.

00:24:30.000 Often there are conditions that the globalist establishment requires before doing the types of deals that Zelensky describes.

00:24:38.000 You will have seen our previous videos in which we talk about the IMF and the World Bank and the kind of leverage that they require in order to give what they call loans, but seem essentially like opportunities to take control of new territories and economies.

00:24:52.000 And this is no different.

00:24:53.000 You'll be astonished to learn that there are strong anti-union laws being implemented in Ukraine to assure that the conditions for massive profit can be created.

00:25:02.000 So it looks like what's happening now is essentially Ukraine is being made a NATO member and it's being colonized, i.e.

00:25:08.000 opportunities for growth for profit are being created.

00:25:12.000 Now, how can you use taxpayer money to generate these conditions? 0.95

00:25:15.000 Well, I suppose only if you were to say that Putin is like a shitting himself Hitler and we're only doing this to help people. 0.80

00:25:22.000 Oh yeah, under these conditions I suppose you could. 0.94

00:25:25.000 What I believe this war offers us the opportunity to do is recognise how reductive our media have become.

00:25:31.000 Part of the formula these days is to present a situation as humanitarian or a crisis that needs a necessary resolution, then in effect powerful elite interests benefit from it.

00:25:42.000 Have that formula in your mind and then we can use it together to critique situations as they unfold.

00:25:48.000 We have already managed to attract attention and have cooperation with such giants of the international financial and investment world as BlackRock, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.

00:26:01.000 These are not unequivocal forces for good.

00:26:03.000 JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs and BlackRock are not charities.

00:26:07.000 They're not philanthropic organizations.

00:26:09.000 Even philanthropic organizations Aren't that philanthropic?

00:26:12.000 Who's next in there?

00:26:13.000 The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation?

00:26:15.000 While the United States and Europe flood Ukraine with tens of billions of dollars of weapons using it as an anti-Russian proxy and pouring fuel on the fire of a brutal war that is devastating the country They are also making plans to essentially plunder its post-war economy.

00:26:31.000 These are evocative words, but this is the kind of evocative language that's required to balance the vanilla narrative we're continually fed.

00:26:39.000 We're continually told, you know, help Ukraine, help Ukrainian people.

00:26:43.000 And of course, the reason you're told that is because that is the right thing to do.

00:26:47.000 But I don't believe that that's what's happening.

00:26:49.000 Do you?

00:26:50.000 Let me know in the chat.

00:26:51.000 Let me know in the comments.

00:26:52.000 Representatives of Western governments and corporations met in Switzerland last July to plan a series of harsh neoliberal policies to impose on post-war Ukraine, calling to cut labour laws, open markets, drop tariffs, deregulate industries and sell state-owned enterprises to private investors.

00:27:08.000 That is a formula for corporatisation.

00:27:11.000 That's what's being offered here.

00:27:12.000 If you're familiar with the term neoliberalism, then you will know that this is what's happened in Western democracies in the previous 20 or 30 years.

00:27:20.000 Asset stripping, finding publicly owned assets, selling it off to private organisations when these assets were built using public money.

00:27:28.000 That's a fantastic way to make profit.

00:27:30.000 Of course what we're seeing now in countries like ours, and probably yours if you're American, is that there is a devastating impact on the economy that We live in.

00:27:38.000 This causes housing crisis.

00:27:40.000 This causes a loss of jobs.

00:27:41.000 Ultimately, it could be argued that the same way that you had people like Gaddafi in Libya

00:27:46.000 and Saddam Hussein in Iraq, leaders in countries that had to be destabilised and leaders that

00:27:51.000 had to later be deposed, this is a comparable modality.

00:27:56.000 Go into a country, claim that we're sort of helping out, paint a very vivid and lurid

00:28:00.000 picture of tyranny and humanitarian disasters, and who do you bring in?

00:28:04.000 Is it the Red Cross?

00:28:05.000 No, it's Black Rock.

00:28:07.000 Ultimately, what they're talking about as well is political purchase and political control

00:28:13.000 Ukraine are going to set up laws that mean that ultimately unions can't form, that wages are controlled.

00:28:19.000 This kind of stuff comes at a cost.

00:28:21.000 Ukraine has been destabilised by violence since 2014 when a US-sponsored coup d'etat overthrew its democratically elected government, setting off a civil war.

00:28:30.000 That conflict dragged on till February the 24th, 2022, when Russia invaded the country, escalating into a new, even deadlier phase of the war.

00:28:38.000 So it's essentially saying that the war began a lot earlier.

00:28:41.000 In fact, when Jeffrey Sachs came on our show, he said that this war is eight years in the making.

00:28:46.000 Even the framing of the duration of the war is a mainstream media construction.

00:28:52.000 This geopolitical situation is comparable to the pandemic.

00:28:55.000 We're only being shown a tiny, tiny slice of the information, because if we were to have access to the entire picture, we'd say, hey, hold on a minute.

00:29:02.000 Aren't there different ways to approach this?

00:29:04.000 Aren't there different solutions that are available?

00:29:06.000 And isn't it possible that in your pursuit of your own corporate globalist goals, you could take us to the brink of Armageddon?

00:29:12.000 If you have awakened investigative citizens saying, forget left and right, forget everything else, just tell me the information so I can determine for myself and for my family and for my community what I believe is best, they can't allow that.

00:29:22.000 That's why we're continually turned against one another, that's why we're continually fed pure old ridiculous narratives that fit only for children.

00:29:28.000 Washington had sent large sums of weapons to Ukraine and provided extensive military training and support over several years before Russia invaded.

00:29:36.000 Meanwhile, starting in 2017, representatives of Western governments and corporations quietly held annual conferences in which they discussed ways to profit from the civil war they were fueling in Ukraine.

00:29:46.000 In these meetings, Western political and business leaders outlined a series of aggressive reforms they hoped to impose on Ukraine, including widespread privatization of state-owned industries and deregulation of the economy.

00:29:57.000 On July 4th and 5th, 2022, top officials from the US, EU, Britain, Japan and South Korea met in Switzerland for a so-called Ukraine Recovery Conference.

00:30:06.000 There, they planned Ukraine's post-war reconstruction and performatively announced aid commitments.

00:30:11.000 Let's hold a Ukraine Recovery Conference.

00:30:14.000 What are we recovering?

00:30:15.000 We are recovering Ukraine from Ukrainian people. 1.00

00:30:18.000 And everyone can become a big business by working with Ukraine in all sectors from weapons and defense.

00:30:27.000 Yeah, weapons and defense.

00:30:28.000 That's definitely happening.

00:30:28.000 Good.

00:30:29.000 To construction, from communication to agriculture.

00:30:33.000 Yep, all of them.

00:30:34.000 All of the global elite interests can benefit from this war.

00:30:38.000 At the beginning, it was like, well, how could there be anything other than just Russia's egregious criminal invasion, Putin's evil tyranny?

00:30:44.000 Oh, look, by some weird coincidence, all of the world's most powerful interests are going to benefit.

00:30:49.000 It's a bit like the pandemic, really, when by helping us all to get better, some of the world's most powerful interests benefit.

00:30:54.000 It's weird how this keeps happening.

00:30:55.000 From transport to IT, from banks to medicine.

00:30:59.000 Banks and medicine, same players again and again.

00:31:01.000 And I believe That freedom must always win.

00:31:06.000 Gotta have freedom.

00:31:07.000 Freedom to make a great deal of money out of human suffering.

00:31:07.000 Gotta have freedom.

00:31:11.000 The Ukraine Recovery Conference was not new.

00:31:13.000 It had been renamed to save the expense of a new acronym.

00:31:16.000 In the previous five years, the group and its annual meetings were instead referred to as the Ukraine Reform Conference.

00:31:23.000 The URC's agenda was explicitly focused on imposing political changes on the country, namely strengthening the market economy, decentralization, privatization, reform of state-owned enterprises, land reform, state administration reform, and Euro-Atlantic integration.

00:31:39.000 That sounds a little bit like corporatize it, privatize it, Get it in NATO.

00:31:43.000 Before 2022, this gathering had nothing to do with aid and a lot to do with economics.

00:31:49.000 It's a shame that this is all to do with economics.

00:31:51.000 If only there was some war or humanitarian angle that would really bolster our efforts.

00:31:55.000 Just wait there one second. 1.00

00:31:57.000 Putin, you son of a bitch! 1.00

00:31:58.000 So what they're calling the Ukraine Recovery Conference is starting to sound like a convention for corporate interests and profiteering opportunity. 1.00

00:32:07.000 Documents from the 2018 Ukraine Reform Conference ...emphasized the importance of privatizing most of Ukraine's remaining public sector, stating that the ultimate goal of the reform is to sell state-owned enterprises to private investors.

00:32:20.000 Explicit.

00:32:20.000 There you go.

00:32:21.000 Along with calls for more privatization, deregulation, energy reform, tax and customs reform.

00:32:26.000 Just in case you think that you've turned into a conspiracy theorist and are believing things for which there's no legitimate basis, here are some world leaders and political players and leaders on the corporate stage openly stating that they are going to benefit from reconstructing Ukraine.

00:32:40.000 Well I can tell you that the UK will be sticking by Ukraine for as long as it takes. 0.94

00:32:45.000 We will be there for the long term.

00:32:47.000 And we will also want to be helping you to reconstruct.

00:32:51.000 Reconstruct?

00:32:52.000 That's the reconstructing.

00:32:54.000 And here we are taking the money out of Ukraine.

00:32:55.000 Here's Ursula von der Leyen explaining to the assembled leaders and corporatists and big tech giants at Davos that they are required to rebuild Ukraine.

00:33:05.000 You might think, I've heard that name, Ursula von der Leyen, before.

00:33:08.000 Yeah, you have.

00:33:09.000 It's when Albert Baller was texting her directly, doing deals for billions of vaccines, coincidentally, that didn't pass by a council of approval.

00:33:17.000 We raise the necessary investment for reconstruction, and it is a perfect opportunity to take investment and reform to pave this way for Ukraine towards the European Union.

00:33:32.000 And what we need is not only investment with the public sector, but the private investment and your knowledge.

00:33:39.000 Gotta have that.

00:33:40.000 Gotta have private investment.

00:33:41.000 And of course, knowledge as well.

00:33:43.000 You know so much in your respective fields.

00:33:46.000 So we need your knowledge.

00:33:48.000 We need every hand on board to really move forward with repair, relief at the very beginning, but also reconstruction.

00:33:56.000 Gotta reconstruct it.

00:33:58.000 The people of Ukraine really deserve it.

00:34:00.000 So there you go, there you see everything tying the morality, the necessary duty we have to help one another, to help the suffering Ukrainian people, with the interests of the establishment elite.

00:34:10.000 As long as you can converge those two ideas, then dissent becomes criminal.

00:34:15.000 People will say that I'm a crackpot conspiracy theorist for saying it and you're a nutcase for believing it, but they're admitting BlackRock, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs are going to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine.

00:34:28.000 If something is truly humanitarian, here's a good way of demonstrating it.

00:34:31.000 Extract the profit from it altogether.

00:34:33.000 If not, don't pretend it's humanitarian.

00:34:35.000 Just go, listen, this is the agenda.

00:34:37.000 Ukraine was ultimately a place that was too resource rich and had too strong a ties with Russia historically, politically and even ethnically in some cases.

00:34:45.000 We're not having it.

00:34:46.000 We're destabilizing it.

00:34:46.000 We're going in there.

00:34:48.000 We're going to provoke Russia until they engage militarily. 0.87

00:34:51.000 Then we're going to go in there and corporatize it.

00:34:53.000 Why wouldn't they say that?

00:34:54.000 Because that's not very popular.

00:34:55.000 What story is it?

00:34:56.000 In September 2022, Zelensky symbolically rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange via video stream.

00:35:03.000 The Ukrainian leader declared that his country was open for business with more than $400 billion in investment options.

00:35:10.000 At the same time, Zelensky published an editorial in the Wall Street Journal calling on Western corporations to invest in the future of Ukraine.

00:35:18.000 One way of looking at the framing of Zelensky is that he is indeed a heroic leader who is galvanizing a nation that is suffering under the military attack of a more powerful aggressor that is important and worthy of praise.

00:35:30.000 Another way of looking at Zelensky is that his interests align with the interests of the most powerful economic institutions in the world, some of the most powerful corporations and most powerful nations.

00:35:42.000 Their agenda and Zelensky's agenda temporarily line up like Gaddafi's agenda once did, like Saddam Hussein's agenda once did.

00:35:49.000 I hope for Zelensky's sake that the agenda stays in alignment because I don't know what's happened to Gaddafi but I'm I feel like he ended up with a bit of a jostly jeep ride and Saddam Hussein. 0.99

00:35:58.000 Goodbye!

00:35:58.000 The Ukrainian government cited corporate executives at Google, Alphabet and Microsoft who urge more Western companies to buy up the country's assets.

00:36:06.000 And there it is.

00:36:07.000 It's just literally there in plain sight.

00:36:09.000 In December 2022, Zelensky held a video conference with billionaire Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager.

00:36:16.000 Zelensky's office said that BlackRock will advise the Ukrainian government on how to structure the country's reconstruction funds and is coordinating the efforts of all potential investors and participants in the reconstruction of our country.

00:36:28.000 This means that under Western tutelage, Ukraine has essentially privatized and outsourced its economic policy to BlackRock, one of the world's most powerful corporations.

00:36:37.000 Often we show you charts of how the most powerful economic entities in the world are no longer nations, they are corporations.

00:36:43.000 Other than a few and you know their names, the most powerful nations in the world, the most powerful and influential entities on our planet are corporate.

00:36:51.000 And here we can see how they've been charged with creating the economic policy of an entire nation.

00:36:56.000 Right now the world's attention is on Ukraine and Ukraine's future policies are going to be determined by BlackRock's interests.

00:37:02.000 Obviously.

00:37:03.000 It sounds like an outrageous thing to say, but of course BlackRock and JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, they're not going to invest in you.

00:37:08.000 Sorry guys, you know that thing we did to help everyone in Ukraine?

00:37:10.000 Yeah, it wasn't profitable.

00:37:11.000 We've lost loads of money for everybody, but the good news is we really, really helped Ukraine.

00:37:16.000 Hello?

00:37:16.000 I don't know, humanitarian help?

00:37:19.000 Hello!

00:37:20.000 During a recent WEF session in Davos, Larry Fink spoke of his plans to help coordinate billions of dollars worth of reconstruction financing for Ukraine, saying he hoped the initiative would also turn the country into a beacon of capitalism.

00:37:31.000 Oh my God, it's very explicit.

00:37:34.000 This is not conspiracy theory.

00:37:35.000 The very fact that they're saying it in this public way, I don't even know what the counter-argument to this is, actually.

00:37:39.000 I don't know why they say, well Russell, of course after a war it's going to need reconstruction and you're going to want the most powerful interests in the world.

00:37:45.000 I get that.

00:37:46.000 I get what the world is.

00:37:47.000 But that's essentially our argument is would you include in your media narratives the fact that the most powerful interests in the world are going to benefit from this and stop giving us these reductive simplistic tales of good versus evil which could in fact lead us to an apocalyptic conflict because that's unreasonable and unfair and And most importantly, untrue.

00:38:05.000 Give us the truth and stop creating narratives that only benefit elites when they could in fact be detrimental not only to all of you watching this, but the Ukrainian people themselves.

00:38:15.000 They're going to find it difficult to work.

00:38:16.000 They've had a war that could have been stopped earlier.

00:38:19.000 What I object to, I think, is the lying.

00:38:21.000 David Solomon, CEO of Goldman Sachs, spoke cheerily of Ukraine's post-war future.

00:38:26.000 There is no question that as you rebuild there will be good economic incentives for real return and real investment, he said.

00:38:32.000 In one way, I'm almost tempted to just go along with it and invest in it.

00:38:36.000 Zelensky's government has imposed some of the world's most aggressive anti-worker policies.

00:38:40.000 So if you love Ukraine, which obviously he does, I'm not saying that Zelensky doesn't love Ukraine, but aggressive anti-worker policies, passing legislation that deprives around 73% of workers for their rights to union protection and collective bargaining.

00:38:52.000 How's that good for Ukrainian people? 1.00

00:38:54.000 Oh, how it's good is you can now do deals with Goldman Sachs and Ukraine, and they won't do those deals if you're like, hey, obviously, though, as leader of Ukraine, I've got to make sure that Ukrainian people They're the people that should benefit.

00:39:03.000 After all, they're the ones who had their children killed and suffered from all the bombing and the turmoil.

00:39:08.000 Oh no, you know who's really suffered from this?

00:39:10.000 J.P.

00:39:10.000 Morgan.

00:39:11.000 Morgan, Friday's comedy.

00:39:11.000 J.P.

00:39:12.000 Oh God, help me man.

00:39:14.000 When's this war gonna end? 1.00

00:39:15.000 This is all just bullshit. 1.00

00:39:17.000 We're dealing with a monumental amount of bullshit and are meant to sort of say thank you while we eat it as if it's chocolate cake. 0.99

00:39:23.000 In an interview with Multipolarista, economist Michael Hudson compared the new emergency anti-labour laws imposed by the Ukrainian government to the brutal neoliberal policies implemented by Chile's far-right Pinochet dictatorship after a CIA-backed coup in 1973. 0.98

00:39:37.000 In Chile, there was a democratically elected government.

00:39:40.000 That government was destabilised and a military dictatorship was installed on the condition that Afterwards a bunch of money will be made by all of these corporate interests as long as you set up favourable conditions for anti-labour unions, privatisation and all that.

00:39:54.000 So this doesn't on one level seem that different from the kind of stuff that we've known that America through the CIA have done for years and years.

00:40:01.000 It's just now that somehow it's become harder to track.

00:40:04.000 It used to be like almost our duty to be anti-war.

00:40:06.000 When did all this change?

00:40:07.000 When did it change?

00:40:08.000 How is it changing?

00:40:10.000 What's going on?

00:40:11.000 And as Mr. Zelensky said, it may be the end of affluence for the labor force, but it's going

00:40:15.000 to be a bonanza for you investors in the New York Stock Exchange.

00:40:18.000 Doesn't seem like a very good war.

00:40:20.000 The labor force means Ukrainians. 0.93

00:40:22.000 Ukrainians have exchanged their liberties and opportunity for affluence with opportunities for the New York Stock 0.99

00:40:28.000 That's what this war has achieved. 0.64

00:40:30.000 Somebody's loss is turned into somebody else's game.

00:40:33.000 Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe, but it'll also be the richest country in Europe for the 1%, Hudson concluded.

00:40:39.000 Well there you go, I don't know how much more explicitly it needs to be stated.

00:40:41.000 I think we're entering into a bizarre new age where global events are presented to us in a way that kind of doesn't give you the right to question the moral authority of what's happening, whether it's the response to a pandemic or the response to a war.

00:40:54.000 They use our collective beliefs, so clearly there is some sort of universal sentiment that we should be helping one another and that war is bad and we should be protecting people that are suffering.

00:41:03.000 They somehow managed to manipulate that into opportunities for profit for, you know, according to this, the 1%, the elites.

00:41:11.000 So what do I think we should be doing?

00:41:12.000 I think we should be campaigning for an end to this war.

00:41:14.000 I think that we should be campaigning for diplomatic solutions, for peace, for the Ukrainian people, for an end to the hysteria around this subject, for a media that tells us the truth and that every time there's a crisis it doesn't get turned into an opportunity for the most powerful interests in the world to profit from it.

00:41:30.000 Well that's just what I think.

00:41:31.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.

00:41:33.000 I'll see you in a second.

00:41:34.000 Thanks for refusing Fox News.

00:41:36.000 The day. 1.00

00:41:37.000 No, he's the fucking news. 0.99

00:41:40.000 We know our brain sends messages all over our bodies. 1.00

00:41:44.000 Of course we do, it's in constant communication.

00:41:46.000 But did you know that the gut is speaking back to your brain?

00:41:49.000 Not like that, grow up.

00:41:51.000 The more we learn about how the gut is connected to everything else,

00:41:53.000 the more we understand how much a good probiotic can impact every process in your body.

00:41:59.000 After two years in development, Hite's have launched the world's first probiotic

00:42:33.000 Oh my god, it's the last one.

00:42:59.000 That is how I do it Be here, meow.

00:43:14.000 I can't believe that stock market thing.

00:43:16.000 Hey, it was just fascinating to hear, I think in particular, a list of global corporate, let's not say villains, because there'll be fine people working in all of the organizations like BlackRock, JP Morgan.

00:43:29.000 Oh yeah.

00:43:29.000 Definitely.

00:43:30.000 Goldman Sachs.

00:43:31.000 All the way through.

00:43:32.000 Just fine people.

00:43:34.000 All, you know, I believe in salts and neats.

00:43:37.000 Solzhenitsyn's edict that the line between good and evil runs through every human heart, but nevertheless it does perhaps point to an agenda other than humanitarianism in that conflict on behalf of the West when you hear those names listed.

00:43:48.000 I'm incredibly excited to introduce our guest today.

00:43:51.000 Len McCluskey is a union leader and a key part of the last anti-corporate, anti-establishment movement to get anywhere near to power in this country, even though it was ultimately crushed by the mainstream media and even The deep state, not even from our country, the CIA evidently had files on Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of that movement.

00:44:12.000 Thanks for joining us, Len.

00:44:14.000 Good to be with you, Russell.

00:44:16.000 Len, you're talking now about the necessity for a new political movement.

00:44:20.000 I think many people feel a sense of political vagrancy, that no mainstream political party represents them, that we are dealing really with a co-opted political system Where the voices of both parties, you know, in countries like ours, the UK and in America, have been co-opted by corporate forces, co-opted by the finances of powerful institutions, private institutions primarily, and that democracy is veiled, truncated, castrated.

00:44:49.000 Is a new political movement something that interests you?

00:44:51.000 Is that something that you're involved in currently?

00:44:54.000 What I've been saying, Russell, is that there's a danger that Labour, the Labour Party that has always represented working people, ordinary people in Britain, is liable to lose its soul because of what's happening at the moment.

00:45:08.000 Democracy in the party is being attacked.

00:45:11.000 It's the most authoritarian that I've ever known and I've been a member for 50 years and I'm basically warning that if Labour continues that way then people will start asking the question, does Labour speak for ordinary people anymore?

00:45:27.000 And so of course debates and discussions about What you do about that are very prevalent in the UK at the moment, and that's really a debate that will take place over the next few years if Stormer continues to try and take away the soul of the Labour Party, which is effectively a socialist ideal of what our society should be.

00:45:52.000 The Labour Party was organised around representing ordinary working people.

00:45:59.000 It's obviously been through numerous mutations, most notably recently under Tony Blair's leadership, where it became a centralist, neo-liberal establishment party.

00:46:10.000 And you saying that Keir Starmer, the current leader of the Labour Party, is an establishment figure that wants to neuter You're spot on, Russell.

00:46:20.000 and essentially turn it into a party of power.

00:46:22.000 We thought it was very interesting to see Keir Starmer attending the WEF Davos conference, for example.

00:46:26.000 That's not normally a sign of a dissenting voice.

00:46:28.000 You're spot on, Russell.

00:46:30.000 The reality is, of course, that what Blair wanted and didn't actually fully achieve

00:46:37.000 was to try and turn the Labour Party into a mirror image of the Democratic Party in the States.

00:46:44.000 And what happened in 2017 when Jeremy Corbyn almost won power?

00:46:50.000 The forces of reaction within both the UK and indeed in America, the CIA and all the rest of them, were absolutely beside themselves that almost a man with socialist ideals and a vision almost captured power.

00:47:08.000 And they made a decision there and then that they were never going to allow that to happen again.

00:47:14.000 And they try to destroy Corbyn and anybody close to Corbyn try to destroy Corbynism.

00:47:20.000 And in Kiev, they seem to have captured an individual who can be a puppet of theirs, who is constantly attacking the left wing, forcing the left of the Labour Party out of the Labour Party.

00:47:34.000 And that's the danger that we have to be aware of.

00:47:37.000 It is becoming clear that globalist and corporatist power is transcendent of national sovereign power and democratic power.

00:47:47.000 And when a figure, whether from the left or from elsewhere on the political spectrum, emerges that is a challenge to those centralist establishment forces, they will use deep state means to shut it down.

00:48:01.000 They will use their allies in the mainstream media to create There's no doubt.

00:48:06.000 There's absolutely no doubt.

00:48:07.000 pejorative narratives to crush any potential dissent.

00:48:10.000 Are you saying, Len, that from your involvement in that movement,

00:48:15.000 you felt that the mainstream media and deep state forces acted

00:48:20.000 in concordance with one another to shut down any...

00:48:24.000 There's no doubt. There's absolutely no doubt.

00:48:26.000 You can imagine that the CIA in America would have picked the phone up

00:48:34.000 to their friends in the British establishment and said, what the hell

00:48:38.000 are you guys playing at?

00:48:39.000 How have you allowed a man like Corbyn to almost get into power?

00:48:44.000 Let's make certain it doesn't happen again.

00:48:46.000 Your previous piece that you've just done, which was brilliant, by the way, absolutely brilliant, I mean, you're the best investigative journalist I've come across in recent times.

00:48:58.000 But BlackRock, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, the corporate elite, they're the people who run our nations.

00:49:04.000 That's what brings us all together.

00:49:07.000 What happens in America today happens in the UK tomorrow.

00:49:10.000 That's why there is this linkage these days, this global movement.

00:49:14.000 I remember the Occupy movement started in America and fantastic,

00:49:19.000 gave us the 99% and the 1%, came to the UK, right in the city of London. 0.93

00:49:25.000 I addressed them and it's about working people throughout the world,

00:49:30.000 understanding precisely what's happening.

00:49:33.000 We're being attacked and the same problems occur in in Texas and in California as they do in Yorkshire and London.

00:49:42.000 Working people all over the world are becoming increasingly aware that they are being crushed by globalist forces and that democracy has been hollowed out as you just described Lyn and thank you very much for the compliment by the way and obviously I'm merely the mouthpiece of a team of dedicated hard-working people that do great research and we work In coordination with one another to bring about stories that hopefully challenge mainstream narratives.

00:50:04.000 Whether you're talking about the farmers and the way those farmer protests have been in Sri Lanka, the Netherlands, Germany, here in this country, across the United States, because of Big Food and Big Agra, or whether you're talking about The pandemic and how key workers, nurses, doctors, teachers, people that had to continue working were rightly celebrated, rightly supported, only to be abandoned now at a time when their rights are being compromised, when they're not being supported financially or in terms of their working conditions in the manner that they ought be.

00:50:34.000 Earlier this week we had Christian Smalls, one of the new emergent leaders of the big tech union movement that we're very excited about because it's truly populist, truly diverse and unifying.

00:50:45.000 It's very interesting that our country, the UK at the moment, has action all over the place as ordinary working people fight for their rights to work with dignity.

00:50:54.000 Whether that's in the healthcare industry, the same things happen in America.

00:50:58.000 We were astonished and disgusted to learn that 34,000 nurses in New York Lost their jobs in the pandemic because of their refusal to take medications that are meant to be voluntary.

00:51:08.000 We're disgusted to learn about the number of care workers in this country that, while simultaneously being celebrated, lost their right to work.

00:51:16.000 What can you tell us what we can learn from the way that the NHS, which is our national health service in the UK, was celebrated during the pandemic and now the people that work for it, the people that hold it together, are being abandoned?

00:51:28.000 What does that tell us about the values of this country and the values of the establishment, Len?

00:51:32.000 Well, the values of the establishment are very clear.

00:51:35.000 It's profit before people.

00:51:37.000 The reality, of course, of what you've just explained, and it's spot on, I know about what happened In New York, absolutely disgraceful.

00:51:44.000 The only organisations that can protect workers from the attacks that are currently taking place are trade unions.

00:51:53.000 And in all of these countries, and certainly in dictators, what you just said about Ukraine, where they're going to limit the powers of trade unions, is spot on.

00:52:03.000 Trade unions are the only defence that working people have.

00:52:07.000 And in Britain at the moment, today, half a million workers I've walked out on strike because they've said enough is enough.

00:52:15.000 I've been involved in strikes for the last 50 years, hundreds of them.

00:52:20.000 I've never yet met a worker.

00:52:23.000 Who likes going out on strike.

00:52:25.000 I have very close connections with our trade unions in America and the same applies there.

00:52:32.000 No one wants to go out on strike.

00:52:33.000 They only go out on strike when they sense an injustice against them and they don't have anything else they can do but try to protect their living standards.

00:52:44.000 And I'll make this quick point and it applies in America as well as the UK.

00:52:48.000 Whenever there's a war Billions of pounds are found like that in order to promote the war and, as you say, the aftermath of the war where the global elite make huge amounts of money.

00:53:03.000 Governments, and certainly the UK government, should find the money in order to settle the disputes for our nurses, our NHS, all our public sector workers, who rightly are saying there's a war against us.

00:53:18.000 It's called the cost of living crisis.

00:53:21.000 So we want our government to be on our side.

00:53:24.000 This Conservative government at the moment hasn't got a clue.

00:53:26.000 They're completely out of touch.

00:53:29.000 But trade unions, both here and in the States, is the way to protect working people.

00:53:36.000 The US clearly are too deeply alloyed to their corporate paymasters and globalist partners to ever support working people.

00:53:44.000 A genuinely new populist movement that is inclusive is required right now to attack these centralised establishment forces before it's too late.

00:53:54.000 And I suppose the pandemic offered us an opportunity to view this dilemma through a new lens.

00:53:59.000 The same way that Putin and the war is being blamed for spiralling Energy crisis when energy companies continue to make these incredible profits while workers are unable to be paid a fair and decent wage.

00:54:10.000 And of course we're all aware of the looming AI revolution that will further disempower ordinary working people.

00:54:17.000 It seems to me that this is a time for new populism, new politics, for people to come together across conventional boundaries and divides so that we can at last confront that power.

00:54:29.000 Russell, once again, you've raised an incredibly important point.

00:54:33.000 The question of automation, we're told by independent studies, will result by 2035 in the loss of 45% of the jobs in America and 35% of the jobs in Europe.

00:54:50.000 There has to be a movement of ordinary working people And by the way, the wealth will increase enormously in that period.

00:54:59.000 So where is that wealth going?

00:55:01.000 How is it going to be properly used in order to make certain that we have a fair and just and decent society?

00:55:08.000 An excellent point to raise.

00:55:10.000 Thanks, Len.

00:55:11.000 I know that one of the things we feel in our culture today is that we are bereft of elders and leaders, that we live in atomised cultures without values, that we can't turn to one another in communities of support and love.

00:55:25.000 So I'm really honoured to have you on our show.

00:55:28.000 I know you've dedicated your life to organizing people to confront corruption and establishment power.

00:55:34.000 It's a great privilege to have you on.

00:55:36.000 I'm excited to read your new book, Always Read, where presumably you tell the story of how you've been involved in this movement and hopefully tell Those of us coming up behind you, how we can organize in new and innovative ways to face the challenges that will doubtlessly be upon us as a result of automation, globalism, corruption, hollowed out democracies, and certainly in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom.

00:56:01.000 Not having any true political representation and having a media that is determined to lie to us and keep us dumb and distracted and continue to deny us the alternatives that are our birthright.

00:56:11.000 I want to thank you again for your work up to this moment Len and I know that you do great stuff for like Julian Assange's campaign.

00:56:17.000 I know that you are relentless in your pursuit of righteousness and justice and it's great to have you on.

00:56:22.000 Thank you Len.

00:56:23.000 And can I just say, Russell, a big thank you to you.

00:56:27.000 A-list stars like yourself can quite easily enjoy a fantastic life.

00:56:33.000 And what you do is you are the voice of ordinary working people when you could quite easily Avoid any controversy.

00:56:41.000 So thank you for what you do and thank you for the show that you do.

00:56:46.000 It's fantastic.

00:56:47.000 Cheers for saying that, Len.

00:56:48.000 That's really kind of you.

00:56:49.000 You lovely fella. 1.00

00:56:50.000 Although the fact is I've been too controversial for too long.

00:56:53.000 The simple truth is that this is my best bet.

00:56:56.000 In the end, I had no choice but authenticity and integrity.

00:56:59.000 It was the only option that was left for me.

00:57:02.000 Thanks for joining us, Len.

00:57:03.000 It's a joy to have you on.

00:57:04.000 You can check out Len McCluskey's book, Being Red.

00:57:08.000 We'll post a link in the description.

00:57:09.000 I'll be reading it myself.

00:57:10.000 Hey, we've got some exciting shows coming up this week.

00:57:13.000 Tomorrow, a fellow investigative journalist, a man that works alone, who built his career on his own.

00:57:19.000 Tyler, what are you laughing at, Gareth?

00:57:21.000 Oh, that's not laughing.

00:57:23.000 Do you know what I read into that laugh?

00:57:25.000 I'm smiling at how finally people are appreciating you as an investigative journalist.

00:57:30.000 I'll do the investigation.

00:57:32.000 Well, hello, look at these facts.

00:57:34.000 Sometimes they're facts I've discovered myself.

00:57:35.000 Wait a minute, that don't add up.

00:57:37.000 These facts... Hang on, what are you doing?

00:57:38.000 Is he looking at another fact?

00:57:39.000 Yeah, hang on.

00:57:40.000 If I put this fact with that fact, suddenly that's two facts.

00:57:44.000 Wow.

00:57:44.000 Now, if an argument... Hang on a minute, what's going on in Wuhan, lad?

00:57:47.000 What are they doing over there in my lab?

00:57:49.000 That don't make sense.

00:57:50.000 No.

00:57:50.000 EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak.

00:57:52.000 Right.

00:57:53.000 The cold, the naughty cold.

00:57:54.000 Who are you sniffing then? 0.77

00:57:55.000 That's coronavirus out of a bat's bum. 1.00

00:57:58.000 Hey, wait a minute!

00:57:59.000 That's not good for you, baby.

00:58:00.000 You better invent that vaccine quick smart.

00:58:02.000 We're already on it, boss.

00:58:03.000 Good work, guys.

00:58:05.000 That's it.

00:58:07.000 In this end for the diseases, out that end for the money.

00:58:09.000 So you think coronavirus came out of a bat's bum? 1.00

00:58:12.000 Is that where your journalism's got you?

00:58:14.000 Gareth, that's some of the more advanced theories.

00:58:17.000 Oh, that's for the layman, is it?

00:58:19.000 I mean, you're simplifying it a bit.

00:58:21.000 Sorry, I can't help it.

00:58:22.000 If you squeeze a bat's bottom, what will come out of there is lethal pathogens.

00:58:27.000 Some of the worst pathogens that money can actually buy.

00:58:31.000 Now, you advance them through gain-of-function research, and by Jove, you've got a problem on your hands, my man.

00:58:37.000 On the show tomorrow, we've got another investigative journalist like me, Jimmy Tobias.

00:58:41.000 He's talking about the Wuhan lab leak theory.

00:58:42.000 He certainly is.

00:58:42.000 He's going to be a bit out of his depth, I think, when it comes to some of my knowledge, isn't he?

00:58:48.000 Don't embarrass him, Russ.

00:58:49.000 I will be gentle with him, but I will not compromise on my facts.

00:58:53.000 That's one thing.

00:58:54.000 No, you mustn't.

00:58:55.000 I'm a bit like Meatloaf.

00:58:56.000 I'll do anything for facts, but I won't do that.

00:58:59.000 It's not the only thing I won't do.

00:59:01.000 I won't do the bare minimum of reading before embarking on a complex show that requires brinkmanship, expertise and understanding where we exist in a space with dedicated people like Jimmy Dore and Tim Pool, people from across the political spectrum.

00:59:17.000 Well Len likes you, so there you go.

00:59:20.000 Len's chose old Russ.

00:59:21.000 Yep.

00:59:22.000 Who likes the accent I reckon and a little bit of fun, a little bit of Bit of pluck.

00:59:26.000 Bats, bums, all of that.

00:59:27.000 All of that. 0.95

00:59:27.000 People like that. 0.95

00:59:28.000 They're having a bit of fun.

00:59:29.000 There's no reason that a revolution has to be boring.

00:59:31.000 Absolutely not.

00:59:32.000 That's where they made the mistakes.

00:59:34.000 You've made this too boring, you lot.

00:59:36.000 It's boring.

00:59:36.000 Also, you've shot people afterwards for the wrong reasons.

00:59:39.000 I'll tell you that.

00:59:40.000 That's none of your business, what they do in bed.

00:59:42.000 Yeah.

00:59:42.000 Leave them alone, don't shoot them.

00:59:43.000 Oh, you've gotten all carried away, you silly sod. 1.00

00:59:45.000 What you've done is you've done a revolution, then you've become worse than the people you've revoluted against. 1.00

00:59:51.000 Oh, you bloody kids. 0.96

00:59:53.000 On Friday's show, we'll be talking to Deepak Chopra so that we can cultivate an inner light that will mean, perhaps, that we have recourse ...to some inner resources that will mean that we're not reliant on this external stimuli for satisfaction. 0.99

01:00:06.000 They've turned us into addicts and fools.

01:00:09.000 If we don't cultivate an inner abundance, a belief in ourselves, a belief in one another and community... I mean, what's the point, Cal? 0.98

01:00:17.000 One.

01:00:17.000 There's not one.

01:00:18.000 That was a rhetorical question correctly answered. 1.00

01:00:20.000 Thank you.

01:00:20.000 Deepak Chopra will be joining us and if you're a member of our locals membership community not only will you get my fantastic new stand-up comedy show which we're editing right now and I'm gonna send you some exclusive footage.

01:00:31.000 You're gonna send it, are you?

01:00:34.000 Press send on that.

01:00:35.000 Let me put that down the internet hole if I can just tack into the mainframe.

01:00:40.000 You should have exported the show instead of Al the other day.

01:00:42.000 If we hadn't left Al in charge of the show the other week then Rumble wouldn't be saying where's the last 18 minutes of Silky Carlo.

01:00:50.000 She comes from Big Brother Watch.

01:00:52.000 You've bloody done a great big scoop finding out that the CIA in a deep state is spying on people.

01:00:56.000 Sorry guys, Russ is going to do it from now on.

01:00:58.000 I'll do it myself.

01:00:59.000 Let's just, there we go.

01:01:00.000 And that's press internet.
