In this episode of the Awakened Wonder chat, we talk about TikTok, Elon Musk and Don Lemon, the Russian ceasefire, and a story about the Clinton Foundation in Haiti, and how it has led to the current state of affairs in that nation. We also discuss why the old elites are dying and why the new elites are not yet in control, and why this is a vital moment in history. And, of course, we have a Tinfoil beanie. Thomas Massey talks about China and why we should all be wearing suits made in China. And why we need to do something about it. In this episode, we're talking about the future, and we're going to see the future. In this video, you'll get a sneak peak of what's to come in the coming weeks, including a new mRNA vaccine available for a disease you've never even heard of.

00:02:26.000We've got a pretty incredible and unusual show.
00:02:30.000We're talking, of course, about Elon Musk and Don Lemon and their brief tenure as friends on X. We're talking a bit about the Russian ceasefire.
00:02:40.000We're talking about the potential TikTok And we've got a story on Haiti that you're gonna love because we talk about the extensive involvement of the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation in that nation and how detrimental it's been to Haiti and indeed how it's led to the current conditions.
00:03:32.000Today's show is brought to you by our sponsors, Charlize.
00:03:35.000We'll be talking about them a little bit later.
00:03:37.000But what we have to discuss Firstly, and most significantly, is the fact that TikTok are likely to be dissolved, dismantled, destroyed under the auspices of protecting American citizens.
00:03:53.000Elsewhere, I mean, Boeing can't get a break, can they poor sods?
00:03:56.000Look at that, another day, another Boeing issue.
00:03:59.000And just in case you're interested, here's a new mRNA vaccine available for a disease you've never even heard of.
00:04:07.000If you're watching this on YouTube, we'll be there for about another 15 minutes, then we'll be exclusively available to you in that sweet stream of freedom that is Rumble, where currently we reside until the American government comes for Rumble, claiming it's to protect you.
00:04:25.000You could become an Awakened Wonder and support our work.
00:04:27.000When you are an Awakened Wonder, you get additional content Every single week like we've done videos on, like we do mad stuff man.
00:04:34.000We've done a video on displacement theory that you'll absolutely love.
00:04:38.000This week we've just made a video about Kate Middleton.
00:04:40.000I don't know if you're into that kind of stuff.
00:04:42.000Are you interested in that story and what it indicates and what it shows you about how institutions from Even from the recent past, let alone an institution like the monarchy cannot operate in a modern culture because they don't understand the modern rules, even just on the basis of doctoring a photograph in a way that's trackable and observable.
00:05:02.000It demonstrates that the old elites are dying and the new elites aren't fully yet in control and that's why this is a vital moment.
00:05:10.000Also in the Awaken Wonder chat, they're talking for some reason about Lionel Richie In a way that I can't even begin to... What's Lionel Richie got to do with this?
00:05:18.000But if you become an Awakened Wonder, you get exclusive content, live meditations, you get to stay with me for additional time every single day.
00:05:27.000And Trish McLeod, oh Russell, if you want a shirt, you can get shirts.
00:05:32.000If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be there for another 50 minutes.
00:05:35.000But in particular, you're going to want to stay and watch our piece on Haiti and the Clintons.
00:05:39.000And I'll tell you why you'll love it, because Trump exposed it in the 2016 presidential debates.
00:05:47.000Have a listen to Thomas Massey talking about China.
00:05:53.000And this sort of ludicrousness of protecting American citizens from Chinese commerce when there is such a integrated relationship between the American population and Chinese manufacturer at this point.
00:06:07.000Let me know if you've seen this in the rumble chat.
00:06:56.000But he raises an obvious, extraordinary, and relevant point.
00:07:00.000Even at the time That China is being, is surrounded by American military bases in the South Pacific in anticipation of a potential conflict around the issue of Taiwan.
00:07:15.000It's acknowledged that Apple's relationship with China means there can never be meaningful sanctions imposed that would, at least sanctions that would impact Apple's ability to do business, to rely on Chinese labor.
00:07:27.000Won't somebody please think of the Uyghurs?
00:08:55.000I suppose there's a, you know, if you want me to develop a theme, I'll develop one.
00:08:59.000We live in this extraordinary simulacrum with constructed endless conflicts required in order to subjugate us and keep us in a state of perpetual fear.
00:09:11.000You're aware now that there are wars Raging in the Middle East, that there are wars being anticipated in the South Pacific and that the Ukraine-Russia conflict would instantly end were it not for the military support of your country, of my country, and that means your tax dollars.
00:09:34.000And you know that Joe Biden wants another $900 billion in 2025 and the war is becoming almost visibly Absurd now, because like African folk who are like just passing through are being asked to get involved.
00:09:48.000Look at this Congolese geezer's reaction to being invited to sort of pipe up in a war.
00:09:55.000I mean in a way it's none of his business, but why are any of us fighting in this war?
00:10:46.000You're not going to get a very good review on TripAdvisor.
00:10:48.000I arrived on my vacation only to be invited to participate in a proxy war against a nuclear superpower that simply can't be won, that was at least to some degree provoked by unnecessary NATO intervention by a bureaucratic body funded by taxpayers that shouldn't exist after the Cold War.
00:11:45.000Isn't this going to lead to a nuclear war?
00:11:47.000Like, I love seeing Zelensky on the telly turning up at the Golden Globes, turning up saying, thanking Black Rock, thanking Goldman Sachs, thanking JPMorgan.
00:12:01.000Any comedian that can run a country one day is an inspiration to me, let me tell you.
00:12:07.000But I don't think that we should be precipitating, not precipitating, proliferating this needless conflict here to distract you from a potentially lethal and Armageddon inducing conflict.
00:13:11.000However, look, this war, I mean it's quite serious really because the war's going to get a little bit worse because there's sort of been some diplomatic discussion of a ceasefire that have been rejected.
00:13:21.000You know, Jake Sullivan that you see from time to time, he's swerving it, he don't want peace fighters.
00:13:44.000But you know, and I know, and that Congolese bloke knows, that without the support of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, who are so busy providing missiles for Ukraine, they can't sort of out there and bolt aeroplane doors on, it seems at the moment.
00:13:58.000Without that support, there would have to be a diplomatic solution in this complex regional problem that involves different ethnicities, it involves a coup in 2014 that the CIA were involved in.
00:14:08.000The CIA have had bases In that country for the last 10 years.
00:14:12.000So whatever story you're getting told by stickers in windows and endless jingoism and reductive philanthropic lingo, it ain't the truth.
00:14:22.000The Joe Biden administration has steadfastly refused to engage in talks with the Kremlin before the war in Ukraine broke out.
00:14:28.000Moscow sent Washington the outlines of a deal to prevent the war.
00:14:31.000Biden admin staffer late acknowledged that the White House refused to negotiate with Putin on Putin's top issues including NATO military build-up, In Eastern Europe, and the alliance is expansion to Ukraine.
00:14:42.000It's clear that both sides of the conflict, Russia and NATO, and in particular your country there, the United States, see Ukraine as a vassal state to be occupied and utilized.
00:14:55.000And currently the agenda of NATO is more convenient to the current government of Ukraine that To some degree have been.
00:15:03.000Well, you know, you can question the way that that government came about.
00:15:07.000It's certainly the one before it was installed to a degree by the CIA.
00:15:11.000During the first two months of the war, Moscow and Kiev engaged in talks hosted by U.S.
00:15:24.000In particular, Boris Johnson, our then Prime Minister, went near to Kick off!
00:15:29.000If you're watching this on YouTube, we'll be with you there for another 15 minutes.
00:15:34.000Remember, why not doll yourself up with something nice?
00:15:38.00025% off these this week and all money raised, we just send it directly to Raytheon and say look, the kindest thing, the kindest thing to do with this, Is to blow up a bridge somewhere in Crimea.
00:15:49.000It's the best thing you can do for humanity.
00:16:23.000As the North Atlantic Alliance wraps up its massive Nordic response 24 war drills, Russian President Vladimir Putin is threatening to deploy troops and weapon systems alongside his country's shared 800 mile border with Finland.
00:16:35.000This comes amid a rash of hostile rhetoric in NATO capitals about sending alliances Alliance troops to Ukraine as Kiev's war effort is failing, including from heads of state such as Macron in France.
00:16:46.000On Wednesday, in an interview with Russian state media, Putin said the decision by Stockholm and Helsinki to join NATO in the wake of Moscow's invasion and the US-led alliance's proxy war was an absolute senseless step from the point of view of ensuring Their own national interest.
00:17:00.000So in a sense, many of these nations, these NATO nations, are ultimately used as, I suppose, vassal interests to more superior, dominant forces.
00:17:37.000Over the next five years, Denmark ain't had to have a war since the Vikings.
00:17:41.000And now they're sticking $6 billion in.
00:17:43.000I don't want to diminish Denmark's role in the two great wars of the last century, but bloody hell, $6 billion, that's steep.
00:17:49.000The increased funding will be used both to boost Denmark's military capacity and provide aid to Ukraine.
00:17:54.000I wonder where that six billion dollars will ultimately... I bet if you were to list the organizations that are providing them with artillery, you'd see some familiar names.
00:18:03.000And I'm going to bet you a fine pink hat versus a fine black hat that you would see words like Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and Boeing amidst the beneficiaries of that.
00:18:14.000Washington announced a $300 million aid package for Kiev this week.
00:18:53.000Also, you might anticipate that your country, in the form of that sepulchre-dodging, made-up zombie, that Botox thief Joe Biden, is asking for $900 billion in 2025.
00:19:09.000I don't mean to be personal, actually.
00:19:10.000He's a child of God, and I respect all of God's children.
00:19:50.000Like, whenever they say people in Congress, does it seem right that people in Congress, like Nancy Pelosi, invest in companies that they are able to have inside information on that might be beneficial?
00:20:00.000And I'm not alleging that, even though we are Primarily on Rumble, where you could say that.
00:20:05.000Because I noticed that she's allowed to say things like, Putin must be funding Donald Trump.
00:20:10.000Just based off stuff off the top of her head.
00:20:36.000New in at number one, top threats, it's China!
00:20:40.000But we'll continue to have trade relationships with them while agitating for a war in the South Pacific, because none of this stuff makes sense.
00:20:51.000Factor in another cost, the true cost of military spending for 2025 will easily exceed 1.5 trillion dollars, which like is so for me inconceivable as a number, they might as well have said like banana or just like done a drawing.
00:21:05.000I can't conceptualize A number of that magnitude.
00:21:09.000Later on we're going to be talking about what's going on in Haiti and what's been going on in Haiti perhaps even more significantly and it's all inspired by a beautiful moment in the 2016 presidential elections and one thing to look forward to this year is dear old I was going to say that Crypt-Dodger.
00:21:26.000Joe Biden is going to have the debate.
00:22:10.000So we're going to be bringing you that Haiti video that comes from those presidential debates while looking forward to the forthcoming ones.
00:22:16.000One trillion is one thousand billion, but can you conceive that?
00:22:40.000You know, he got that show on X. But many of us were surprised, I think, when Don Lemon announced he was going to be doing a show on X. Perhaps we're a little less surprised that that show has not actually been on.
00:23:00.000It's like it's a reverse cancellation and Don Lemon couldn't get back to CNN quick enough with what he could hold in his fist of Elon Musk's scalp, which may not be worth too much when you look at it.
00:23:14.000Let's have a look at the reporting that's available to us now.
00:23:18.000We'll be on YouTube for a little minute, guys.
00:23:49.000First he was fired by CNN, now he's been let go by Elon Musk, even before his show appears on X. Don Lemon says his first guest was supposed to be Musk himself, but after the interview, Musk cancelled his show.
00:25:44.000He's not banning him from X. He's saying that he's not going to fund a show on X, which is, I guess, a business decision probably based on the terrible lack of chemistry between them.
00:25:54.000It's a really awkward, awkward exchange.
00:25:56.000But it is interesting, these conversations are taking place.
00:25:58.000You may have seen Tucker and Cuomo, that little thing.
00:26:42.000He was also said to be upset over questions about the upcoming presidential election.
00:26:47.000I did this deal because not only do I believe in free speech, but I believed that this was the best possible chance for the work that I'm doing to reach the largest... Like the word aluminium, says Rabid99.
00:27:05.000He became temporarily a kind of pawn in the independent media versus legacy media war.
00:27:10.000from Musk. CNN is dying and where did Don Lemon go to tell this story? Back to CNN.
00:27:20.000He became temporarily a kind of pawn in the independent media versus legacy media war. Now
00:27:27.000Musk points out here that social media is a different space, it's a different discourse,
00:27:32.000different type of rhetoric, different type of speed, different type of pace.
00:27:35.000It's not an easy gig to exist in all of these spaces.
00:27:37.000You'll note that if people that are now native to social media, and independent media in particular, which exists primarily to offer critiques, On the kind of stories that legacy media will either not report upon at all or report upon badly and in order to favour the establishment agenda.
00:27:56.000Now I know that when my stuff blew up a few months ago when I was attacked by, I would say, by government agencies, by legacy media, by private government-funded proxies, I temporarily became a pawn in this game.
00:28:09.000You see it happen from time to time as these power struggles begin to unfold you'll see that they sort of vacuum in
00:28:17.000different figures and I you know I guess those of us that thought Don Lemon on X
00:28:21.000is that gonna work now know that it won't work it won't work but
00:28:25.000nevertheless it remains a very terse awkward exchange like yeah I don't like watching
00:28:32.000it I must like even though I think of myself as like being a person that's
00:28:35.000willing to get involved in confrontations and stuff I feel a lot you know I feel
00:28:42.000There's a whole lot that went down and I'm going to tell you about in the coming days.
00:28:46.000Lemon says the interview will still be posted, but it'll be on YouTube.
00:28:52.000In a minute we'll get into that TikTok story in more detail and what's fascinating about the TikTok story, if you ask me, is whilst it's initially being presented as the acquisition or the forced acquisition of TikTok by an American country because you have to protect American citizens from Chinese propaganda and Chinese electoral manipulation, what you know already is that Facebook and Google.
00:29:20.000Note that that gets pulled off X and put on YouTube.
00:29:22.000These are big tech giants that have contracts of compliance with the United States government or the set of interests that we generally refer to as establishment.
00:29:33.000You know Microsoft have massive deals with the government.
00:29:36.000Apple have massive deals with the government.
00:30:06.000We better come off of YouTube before we look at Eclipse.
00:30:09.000Now, you're going to want to see this and you're going to want to participate in our analysis as we look at these social dynamics before we move into the TikTok content and what it tells us about new and emergent social media.
00:30:19.000Come and join us on Rumble right now and for this start the countdown if we've not started already because we've got so much to talk about.
00:30:27.000I'm going to tell you a little bit about Locals.
00:30:29.000Every single week we do exclusive content.
00:30:31.000You're going to want to join us for that.
00:30:32.000Our beautiful friends at Charlize have got some magnificent products.
00:30:35.000I can't believe this is such a good partner for us because they tell us how beauty products are potentially reducing testosterone.
00:30:55.000If you're still on Rumble with us guys, nice to see you there, Pavlo Games and Minksha Scott and Nicholas Kruiser and yes, recovering wanker.
00:32:57.000I've been shining my head for 15 minutes before I began this broadcast!
00:33:01.000And, like, Don Lemon is speaking with the authority, even though in his statement he seems to imply, with the phrase, people like me, that there is a racial dynamic at play, which, you know, it doesn't seem to me that that's quite right.
00:33:14.000I don't know, you tell me in the chat.
00:33:16.000What's ultimately happening there is an interloper from the establishment and legacy media is reviewing interviewing in this case one of its new uh stars and bright lights and taking him to task like he's you can hear him sort of in a sense basking in praise as yet unissued i'll show them i'll talk to elon musk and i'll tell him
00:33:46.000So he sort of thinks he's taking Elon Musk to task.
00:33:49.000And I guess when you're dealing with very powerful, very wealthy people, or perhaps anybody at all, you should speak to them with respect.
00:33:58.000You talk about your ketamine use and depression.
00:34:01.000You also have said... The reason I mentioned ketamine prescription on the X platform was because I thought maybe this is something that can help other people.
00:34:14.000Obviously, I'm not a doctor, but I would say if someone has depression issues, they should consider talking to their doctor about ketamine instead of SSRIs.
00:34:23.000You recently met with Donald Trump in Florida.
00:35:24.000For all of these rules about who can be on and who can and how you fact check and how you don't, what the truth is and what it isn't, why is everything getting worse?
00:35:35.000Because Carlson is not unique, except maybe for that cuckoo cackle.
00:35:40.000But as for his ideas, he has an audience because millions feel the same way.
00:35:46.000This, in a sense, the kind of conversations that used to take place in legacy media when legacy media was truly representative now can only take place in independent media as the ever-decreasing circle of censorship chokes out real debate, chokes out proper conversation, chokes out the possibility of true representative democracy.
00:36:06.000These kind of conversations will take place because You know, Como, he was one of their own.
00:36:12.000And these people that have establishment ties have got no place to go as the censorship becomes more pervasive and more powerful.
00:36:19.000And as our man here points out, Tucker's got a bigger audience than all of them.
00:36:23.000And the simple fact is, is that while the New York Times' readership falls, while the BBC is plummeting in power, while the CNN becomes increasingly irrelevant, and quite rightly, Organizations of independent media become more robust, more powerful, not because of any ingenuity, tenacity, foresight of the people participating directly in the movement, but because we are able to openly communicate and reach out and listen and respond.
00:36:50.000Like right now, when we can see Johnny Cenote say, Chris Cuomo is, did you say evil?
00:36:56.000I mean, the comments are shooting past so far.
00:37:00.000I think Canada is one of the worst nations that uses the veil of liberalism to mask authoritarianism.
00:37:07.000Let me know what you think about these conversations and what they indicate is shifting.
00:37:13.000See, when you can't talk openly about the escalation of tension between Russia and Ukraine, the continual funding of that conflict and who benefits from it and who will ultimately suffer if it continually escalates, if all of the voices in media They parrot the same narratives of the establishment and they declare it as a good thing that a bipartisan bill has been passed today.
00:37:35.000This bill has support from both sides.
00:38:38.000The Chinese Communist Party are being emulated politically at every turn.
00:38:42.000We'll be looking at this story in more detail as the week goes on and demonstrating to you precisely how this kind of legislation is just a form of censorship.
00:38:52.000It's not clear, you know, in the bill.
00:39:04.000It's notable that Elon Musk has come out and said this is wrong to TikTok, a company or a platform that are direct, direct or somewhat competitors of his platform because presumably, please God, he has some principles and also because What's next?
00:39:21.000Already because of Rumble's position on Russia today, you can't get Rumble in France.
00:39:26.000You'll notice there are app stores that don't carry the Rumble app.
00:39:29.000So whilst there might be things on Rumble you don't agree with, the principle of free speech you have to agree with.
00:39:33.000You'll note the way that they stuck up for me when all that stuff went down.
00:39:37.000You'll see that right now they're looking to buy TikTok, which is a good PR move.
00:39:41.000Um, would be cool, but you'll note that actually they're not interested in just the divestment of TikTok, they're interested in the banning of TikTok.
00:39:49.000TikTok poses a national security threat and compromises the data of its 170 million Americans.
00:39:56.000Someone in the chat says only if they're owned in sort of North Korea and a list of nations.
00:40:01.000It identifies them as adversarial nations, but any, any adversarial nation, like many of these laws.
00:40:08.000Well, it only matters because if you're not a terrorist, if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear.
00:40:13.000Well I hope you're right because they're scraping and capturing your data right now using private firms in the United States of America while putting this bill front and center.
00:41:12.000The FBI and top intelligence officials sounding the alarm, warning the Chinese government could use TikTok to access Americans' personal information.
00:41:21.000The problem is their ability to manipulate you.
00:41:23.000They already manipulate your algorithm based on what you like.
00:41:27.000And that can be, that can be innocent.
00:41:29.000All social media companies do that to try and tailor your feed.
00:41:32.000I know they all do that to manipulate elections, but companies like Facebook and YouTube are doing it in compliance with edicts and directives from the government and have significant contracts and relationships to ensure that that relationship continues exactly along those lines.
00:41:49.000Did you notice how all of that talk of breaking up the monopolies, it stopped, didn't it?
00:42:16.000Because it might not be a nation, it might not be an individual, it could be a group.
00:42:19.000Remember, we went from wars against nations, to cold wars, to war against terror, to war against drugs, to war against germs, and now it's the war against ideas.
00:43:00.000Are there two elements that give me sort of a visceral disdain for the administration?
00:43:05.000And then it's the financial relationships, man.
00:43:08.000It's the escalating budgets and it is the legacy of the Clintons, particularly in Haiti, that we'll be discussing in a minute and that you are going to love.
00:43:16.000You've got to understand this, you know like sometimes I think it's our job, the same way That it is your job to spend your taxes to arm Ukraine and other nations in unwinnable wars.
00:43:27.000It's our job to arm you with information that allows you to oppose the corruption and lies that the legacy media perpetually peddle.

00:49:13.000You get a free month, you know, like when you can do that thing and you book and then after like a couple of weeks you go, I'm not doing that!
00:50:18.000of Bill Clinton while he was president.
00:50:20.000What was the role of the Clinton Foundation?
00:50:23.000And what did Donald Trump mean when he said in the presidential debates of 2016 that the Clinton Foundation's actions in Haiti were a disgrace?
00:51:01.000It involves rice tariffs, indigenous agriculture in Haiti, and Bill Clinton pushing his state's interest and nation's interest in order to impecuniate and destabilize Haiti.
00:51:12.000But curiously, in them Trump-Clinton battles that many people enjoyed, I'm talking about Hillary Clinton this time, How many Clintons have they got?
00:51:20.000How long before that cat starts running a country?
00:52:35.000In microcosm there, you can see perhaps what's happened to the United States of America in the
00:52:40.000last few years, where Hillary Clinton jibes about Trump acquiring a portrait, while the
00:52:45.000Clinton Foundation's involvement in Haiti is indeed rather dubious.
00:52:50.000The fact that Bill Clinton participated in the crippling of their indigenous agriculture and in particular their rice production in order to facilitate profits for US domestic rice growth is a further deception that's been practiced on the nation of Haiti.
00:53:06.000And now that that country has collapsed and is run by, you know, in some people's rhetoric, criminal gangs.
00:53:41.000Thankfully, though, there are liberal benefactors and philanthropists like George Soros on hand to help Haiti.
00:53:47.000And is giving away his billions now with the same determination that he made them in places like Haiti, a country that has less money in the bank than he does.
00:53:59.000Last month, he brought the first lady with him for a look at some of the projects his foundation is funding.
00:54:05.000This is Mr. George Soros, and he's gonna be helping the hospital.
00:54:24.000Everyone knows, of course, Hillary's belief that it takes a village, which only makes sense, after all, in places Like Haiti, where she's taken a number of them.
00:55:14.000So what has been the impact of the Clintons on Haiti through the Clinton Foundation and through Bill Clinton while he was president?
00:55:22.000How does a nation like Haiti find itself in the condition it's currently in?
00:55:26.000What has been the impact of American imperialism on that country?
00:55:30.000And what should be the future involvement of nations like the United States of America on the country to itself?
00:55:36.000As president, Bill Clinton completely destroyed the structure of Haitian agriculture.
00:55:41.000In 1995 he forced the nation to drop tariffs on rice imported from America.
00:55:46.000Haiti dropped its import tariffs on rice from 50% to 3%.
00:55:50.000Now I don't know much about international trade but that seems like a pretty significant drop and one might imagine it would have a detrimental impact on Haiti's culture, agriculture and economy.
00:56:01.000Let's get further into it because you just saw Hillary Clinton saying how much she's helped the place and you're seeing on the news now who's going in to help?
00:56:07.000The Biden After adopting Clinton's policies, Haiti became the fourth largest importer of rice from the US, even though they were the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
00:56:20.000Does that just sound on the surface to you like a stupid deal?
00:56:23.000Does it sound a bit like something like, hey, Russia's got nuclear weapons.
00:56:26.000Should we attack them and agitate them?
00:56:28.000Notice how often your common sense aligns with deep realities and they have to explain to you how things like, no, no, war is peace.
00:56:35.000The Pope advocating for peace is crazy.
00:56:37.000That guy should shut his mouth and advocate for war like Jesus would have wanted.
00:56:42.000Most of the imported rice came from Clinton's home state in Arkansas.
00:56:45.000I'm sure that's just a coincidence, though.
00:56:48.000Today, Haiti is the fifth largest importer of American rice in the world, even though their population is just 10 million.
00:56:54.000It's a country that could be growing its own rice.
00:56:56.000It's importing rice from the place where Bill Clinton used to be state governor, and they're a poor and impoverished nation.
00:57:02.000Plainly what's happening is there's an uprising and revolution that's based on the poverty and economic state of that country, where they're saying, If we don't want these deals anymore with America, should we run Haiti differently?
00:57:12.000Back in the 1970s, Haiti imported only 19% of its food.
00:57:15.000When Haiti shut out the global markets, they were self-sufficient and managed to feed a majority of their population while producing trade surpluses.
00:57:22.000Yet now Haiti imports over 80% of its rice from the US.
00:57:25.000Due to the new trade agreements, one tonne of Haitian rice is now $300 more expensive than American rice on the Haitian market.
00:57:32.000So it cost them more money to consume their own rice than to buy rice from Bill Clinton's Arkansas.
00:58:10.000And then, when there are uprisings across that nature, doubtless generated by economic instability, they can say, oh no, these people are cannibals!
00:58:17.000The reason they're eating people is because their rice is too bloody expensive!
00:59:39.000Mills wrote in an email to Hillary Clinton that Haitians saw Bill's appointment as a step towards putting Haiti in a protectorate or trusteeship status.
00:59:48.000Soon joking that he must be coming back to lead a new colonial regime.
00:59:52.000The Haitian media dubbed him Le Gouverneur.
00:59:54.000I bet that joke stopped seeming as funny a few harvests down the line.
00:59:58.000The project was heavily focused on increasing Haiti's appeal to foreign corporations.
01:00:02.000As Politico reported, Clinton's experiment had business at its centre, i.e.
01:00:07.000would be replaced by investment, the growth of which would in turn benefit the United States.
01:00:11.000Remember when you've heard Hillary Clinton in the past talk about war as an opportunity?
01:00:15.000We've got to see Iraq as a business opportunity.
01:00:17.000And so it's time for the United States to start thinking of Iraq as a business opportunity.
01:00:25.000I'm not in particular actually attacking Hillary Clinton, I'm merely saying that she is the symbol and emblem, or one of, of the kind of neoliberal politics that presents itself as an alternative to a figure like Donald Trump, telling us that we're mad to even consider Donald Trump, while all the while engaging in practices that are so dark and insidious that a figure like Trump, whether you like him or not, seems a lot More appealing.
01:00:45.000One of the first acts in the new business-centered Haiti policy involved suppressing Haiti's minimum wage.
01:01:27.000The effort to suppress the minimum wage was not solely a Clinton project,
01:01:30.000but it was in keeping with the State Department's priorities under Clinton,
01:01:34.000which prioritised creating a favourable business climate.
01:01:38.000Well, they are very interested in climate change.
01:01:40.000But the Clintons' role in Haiti would soon expand even further.
01:01:43.000In 2010, the country was struck by the worst earthquake in its history.
01:01:47.000The disaster killed 160,000 people and displaced over 1.5 million more.
01:01:52.000The consequences of the earthquake were exacerbated by the ruined state of the Haitian food economy, plus the concentration of unemployed Haitian farmers in Port-au-Prince.
01:02:01.000You may yet remember the time when Haiti suffered the worst disaster in their history.
01:02:04.000You might remember, in fact, the extraordinary panoply of Hollywood celebrities that queued up.
01:02:09.000Indeed, I was there that day, manning phone banks to raise money.
01:02:13.000But what America could have done instead is stay out of Haiti's affairs, let them have the agriculture that their nation was successfully achieving up until that point, Get rid of these tariffs, allow people to earn a minimum wage, empower farmers and local and indigenous people.
01:02:26.000Do you increasingly understand how, with the posture of helping people and getting involved, an authority is snatched, which usually impoverishes indigenous people, shames people in countries like yours, America, mine, the United Kingdom, tells us we're all racist and nuts, while continuing to make extraordinary profits exploiting the very people they're saying we're helping.
01:02:46.000Sorry about that, my dog's got in here.
01:02:48.000Bill Clinton was soon put in charge of the US-led recovery effort.
01:02:51.000He was appointed to head the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission, IHRC, which would oversee a wide range of rebuilding projects.
01:02:58.000At President Obama's request, Clinton and George W. Bush created the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund.
01:03:04.000My God, they can't get a break, these guys, can they?
01:03:17.000And began aggressively fundraising around the world, Port Haiti in the earthquake's aftermath, with Hillary Clinton the Secretary of State overseeing the efforts of USAID, that Clinton's importance to the recovery could not be overstated.
01:03:29.000Bill's appointment meant that at every stage of Haiti's reconstruction, fundraising, oversight and allocation, a Clinton was now involved.
01:03:35.000Haiti is not just some country that's just doing its own thing.
01:03:54.000By appearances, the Clinton-Bush fund was not focused on providing traditional relief.
01:03:58.000Bill's never been interested in traditional relief, right kids?
01:04:01.000As they wrote, While other organizations in Haiti are using their resources to deliver immediate humanitarian aid, we are using our resources to focus on long-term development.
01:04:10.000While the fund would advertise that 100% of donations go directly to relief efforts, Clinton and Bush adopted an expansive definition of relief efforts, treating luring foreign investments and jobs as a crucial part of earthquake recovery.
01:04:22.000On their website, they spoke proudly of what the New York Daily News characterized as a program of supporting long-term programs to develop Haiti's business class.
01:04:30.000Wow, they're turning it into sort of like a capitalist nation, setting up opportunities for their cronies and mates, and still calling it aid.
01:04:40.000Port-au-Prince had been reduced to ruin, and Haitians were crowded into filthy tent cities, where many were dying of a cholera outbreak, which had itself been caused by the negligence of the United Nations.
01:04:51.000Whatever value building new garment factories... They're building a garment factory!
01:04:55.000Ten cities with people dying of cholera!
01:04:57.000And over here, Agent Provocateur built a lovely sexy new factory!
01:05:34.000Whatever value building new garment factories may have had as a long-term economic plan, Haitians were faced with somewhat more pressing concerns like the basic provision of shelter and medicine, as well as the clearing of the thousands of tons of rubble that filled their streets.
01:05:48.000It's like Maslow's Pyramid of Needs there.
01:05:50.000The basis of that pyramid of needs, that's garment factories.
01:05:53.000It's only when you get to the upper echelons of Maslow's Pyramid of Needs do you have time to think about clearing rubble from the streets and dealing with cholera outbreaks.
01:06:01.000Let's get them garment factories straight first!
01:06:03.000But maybe these crazy, maverick decisions to focus on garment factories led to some sort of vision that we couldn't see yet.
01:06:10.000The Clinton-led recovery was a disaster.
01:06:13.000A year after the earthquake, a stinging report from Oxfam singled out Clinton's IHRC as creating a quagmire of indecision and delay that had made little progress towards successful earthquake recovery.
01:06:24.000That's why they fucked around with sequins and stuff.
01:06:26.000Of course it created a quagmire of delay.
01:06:30.000They'll be behind all of the liberal ideas, they'll be behind all of the diversity.
01:06:34.000They looked at this and they're like, oh, oh, quagmire.
01:06:36.000Oxfam found that less than half of the reconstruction aid promised by international donors had been dispersed.
01:06:42.000Hmm, I wonder where George Soros' money ended up.
01:06:44.000And while some of that money has been put towards temporary housing, almost none of the funds have been used for rubble removal.
01:06:50.000I don't know much about earthquakes and prioritising response to an emergency, but I would say getting that rubble right out of the way has got to be up there.
01:06:56.000You just turn your attention to a more recent disaster like the fires in Hawaii, another state that could do without American involvement.
01:07:04.000You know, that's why you see all the time people going, oh Lahaina, Lahaina, stuff went on.
01:07:07.000We know now, because of the way that independent media works and brilliant journalism like this journalism that we're using here, that what What poses as aid is often exploitation.
01:07:16.000And do you imagine that since then, Hillary Clinton's had some sort of epiphany and not told you about it?
01:07:21.000Or do you imagine it's business as usual?
01:07:23.000So when people are inquiring into the Biden Foundation, if there is one, or Biden's business deals and why Hunter Biden's got a job in some Ukrainian gas factory, you know why.
01:07:32.000Instead, the Clinton Foundation, IHRC and State Department created what a Wall Street Journal writer called a mishmash of low-quality, poorly thought-out development experiments and half-finished projects.
01:07:42.000In conclusion, to help you Haitians, a mishmash of half-thought-out, half-assed madness and skullduggery.
01:07:51.000Like, if you're huddled in a tent city with cholera and that, coughing up blood in the rubble, you don't want a mishmash of poorly thought-out development experiments and half-finished projects, do you?
01:08:00.000That is not, like, that's what Trump was referring to while Hillary Clinton was going, You idiot!
01:08:12.000A Haitian IHRC member lamented that the commission had produced a disparate bunch of approved projects that do not address as a whole either the emergency situation or the recovery, let alone the development of Haiti.
01:08:29.000A 2013 investigation by the Government Accountability Office found that most money for the recovery was not being dispersed and that the projects that were being worked on were plagued by delays and cost overruns.
01:08:40.000Many Clinton projects were extravagant public relations affairs that quickly fizzled.
01:08:45.000That's unlike Bill Clinton to be having a public affair that quickly fizzled.
01:08:49.000Oh man, look at the state of that dress!
01:08:53.000The Washington Post reported that a 2011 housing expo that cost more than $2 million including $500,000 from the Clinton Foundation was supposed to be a model for thousands of new units but instead has resulted in little more than a few dozen abandoned model homes occupied by squatters.
01:09:10.000Other Clinton ventures were seen as disconnected from the realities of most people in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
01:09:17.000In a sense, this is a fantastic story because it's starting in a way to illustrate the disparity that exists between the elite class that have come to exemplify globalism as we commonly refer to it, and not only nations like Haiti, but nations like yours and mine.
01:09:33.000Peculiar expositions, bizarre gestures, bland Empty promises, a banalization of our culture, a disconnection from the issues that they're supposed to be addressing in favor of extraordinary displays that mean very little.
01:09:48.000Politico reported that many Clinton projects have primarily benefited wealthy foreigners and the island's ruling elite who needed little help to begin with.
01:09:56.000Let's focus on those unsung heroes, the island's ruling elite!
01:10:02.000For example, the Clinton Bush Haiti fund invested more than $2 million in the Royal Oasis Hotel, where a sleek suite with hardwood floors cost more than $200 a night, and the shop sell $150 designer purses and $120 men's dress shirts.
01:10:17.000Now, while Bill may go through fabric at a rate of knots, most Haitian people are not going to be assuaged by a fancy hotel with what sound like pretty nice floors.
01:10:26.000We finally have a solution to the cholera and rubble problem!
01:10:40.000Predictably, the Royal Oasis didn't do an especially roaring trade.
01:10:44.000The Washington Post reported that, one recent afternoon, the hotel appeared largely empty, and with tourism hardly booming five years after the quake, locals fear it may be failing.
01:10:54.000In a country with a 30 cent minimum wage, investing recovery dollars in a luxury hotel was not just offensive, but economically daft.
01:12:00.000Let's go to wars with places and tell them how to do democracy, because we're doing it so well.
01:12:04.000Shelters reached over 100 degrees, causing children to experience headaches and eye irritations, which may have been compounded by the mould.
01:12:11.000And that the trailers showed high levels of carcinogenic formaldehyde linked to asthma and other lung diseases.
01:12:18.000My God, they built shelters for ill people out of carcinogenic formaldehyde that were boiling hot and full of toxic mould, causing children to get headaches.
01:12:27.000And all the while, remember Hillary Clinton?
01:12:35.000Donald Trump might be a vain man, but as far as we know, he did not build a carcinogenic shelter that would have functioned quite well as a sauna had it not been for the toxic mold.
01:12:46.000The Clinton Foundation had subcontracted the building of shelters to Clayton Homes, a firm that had already been sued in the United States by the Federal Emergency Management Administration, FEMA, for having provided formaldehyde-laced trailers to Hurricane Katrina victims.
01:13:10.000Get out there and build some more shelters for poor people who are poor because of us!
01:13:16.000Clayton Holmes was owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and Buffett had been a long-standing major donor to the Clinton Foundation.
01:13:24.000So when Like Donald Trump says, you and your cronies, you're all corrupt.
01:13:28.000He's kind of telling the absolute truth, isn't he?
01:13:31.000Because it's not like, oh well it doesn't matter because the shelters were brilliant.
01:13:51.000What he might say is something like, you can't trust the Clintons or the Democrats elite class because they are totally corrupt and they cover their corruption by pretending that they're nice about ethnic minorities.
01:14:02.000I don't think they actually even care about those things.
01:14:05.000For example, most people in Haiti are black and they weren't having a great time.
01:14:08.000And the people that suffer most in Hurricane Katrina, poor people, African-Americans.
01:15:17.000The industrial park followed the Clinton's pre-existing development model for Haiti, public-private partnerships, with a heavy emphasis on the garment industry.
01:15:24.000Often these public-private partnerships in your country and in mine ultimately mean that public money will be transferred to private companies who will then generate profit.
01:15:35.000The most obvious examples being wars where taxpayer money is somehow used to facilitate ventures that will ultimately benefit Raytheon or during the pandemic period where various medications or whatever you want to call them are developed and sold and generate huge profits.
01:15:48.000Public-private partnerships do not work out well for the public.
01:15:52.000And the details are kept private, because if you knew them, you wouldn't cooperate.
01:15:56.000Even though there were still hundreds of thousands of evacuees living in tents, the project was based on the more expansive view that in a desperately poor country where traditional foreign aid has chronically failed, fostering economic development is as important as replacing what fell down.
01:16:10.000Much of the planning was focused on trying to lure a South Korean clothing manufacturer to set up shop there
01:16:16.000by plying them with US taxpayer funding.
01:16:19.000The Caracol project was the centerpiece of the US's recovery effort. A gala celebrating its
01:16:25.000opening featured the Clintons and Sean Penn and it was treated as the emblem of the new,
01:16:29.000better Haiti that would demonstrate the country's commitment to being open for business. In order
01:16:34.000to build the park, hundreds of poor farmers were evicted from their land so that millions of
01:16:38.000dollars could be spent transforming it. The rubble is still there. Sean Penn is in attendance.
01:16:45.000Are you beginning to see a theme developing?
01:16:48.000I like Sean Penn as an actor and I'm sure as a human being, but I'm wondering if his philanthropy is being exploited to
01:17:41.000I need a fucking gala now more than ever to distract me from all these fucking poor people I'm pretending to care about.
01:17:47.000Far from 100,000 jobs or even the 60,000 promised within five years of the park's opening, Caracol currently employs just 5,479 people full-time.
01:17:55.000That comes out to roughly $55,000 in investment per job created so far.
01:18:00.000Or to put it another way, about 30 times more per job than the average Caracol worker makes per year.
01:18:06.000We can't continue to bring you this glorious content without the support of our partners.
01:18:11.000And what great partners they are today.
01:18:30.000Pivotal Debt Solutions Isn't it like the old school debt relief companies that string your debt out for years?
01:18:35.000They have new aggressive strategies that can end your debt faster and easier than you ever thought possible.
01:18:41.000Pivotal debt solutions can cut or even eliminate interest, find programs to write off your balances so you owe less, stop those threatening phone calls without bankruptcy.
01:20:14.000Caracol is a prime example of bad help.
01:20:16.000As one Haiti scholar put it, the interests of foreigners are prioritized over the majority of people who are impoverished in Haiti.
01:20:23.000But failure as it may have been, the Caracol factory was among the more successful of the projects insofar as it actually came into existence.
01:20:31.000But that's what qualifies it as a success.
01:20:40.000A large amount of the money raised by Bill Clinton after the earthquake and pledged by the US under Hillary Clinton simply Disappeared without trace.
01:21:19.000That's not someone you want being president, but you nearly had two of them.
01:21:22.000That money included fuel for ships and planes, helicopter repairs and inscrutables, such as an $18,000 contract for a jungle gym.
01:21:31.000Huge contracts were doled out to the usual array of major contractors, including a $16.7 million logistics contract whose partner included Agility Public Warehousing, KSC, a Kuwaiti firm that was supposed to have been blacklisted from doing business with Washington after a 2009 indictment alleging a conspiracy to defraud the US government during the Iraq war.
01:21:51.000In a way, you learn so much from this story, don't you?
01:21:53.000No wonder the legacy media have no option but to continually amplify what they perceive to be the enormous threat of Donald Trump.
01:22:01.000Because if they were to say, look, all right, let's just focus on what we've been doing.
01:22:04.000When Hillary Clinton appears on MSNBC with Jen Psaki or CNN with Jen Psaki, I don't know, they're all the same, aren't they, really?
01:22:10.000They're just sort of like, Hello there, and tell us now, why is Donald Trump such a criminal?
01:22:23.000Like, what's going on in Haiti now seems to suggest that this country that you were really willing to say you've been heavily involved with, all these projects, going on tours, turning up with George Soros, has gone through some incredible exploitation.
01:22:33.000I mean, just that jungle gym alone is sort of enough to make you go, don't let that person be in public Look, this one story is enough to indict the entire establishment, isn't it?
01:22:44.000And whether you like Donald Trump or not, surely now the mystery of his popularity can be laid to rest.
01:23:00.000And I don't blame them for picking that one after a story like this.
01:23:04.000The recovery under the Clintons became notorious for its mismanagement.
01:23:07.000This is like stories about British colonialism, like British people, when they were colonised in India, used to write books, going, India is like this, and the typical Indian person does this, by people that have never been there.
01:23:16.000And we sort of laugh about it, how could you do that?
01:23:18.000And we now go, oh India, Mother India, oh India, they're our partners, let's get some call centres, let's get some manufacturing, they should have nuclear weapons.
01:23:33.000They were reportedly rude and condescending towards Haitians, even refusing to admit Haitian government ministers to meetings about recovery plans.
01:23:40.000While the Clintons called in high-profile consultant firms like McKinsey to draw up plans, they had little interest in listening to Haitians themselves.
01:23:47.000Isn't this exactly what's happening with Bill Clinton and agriculture in India and across various African nations?
01:24:21.000He had a painting done, though, so... The IHRC quietly closed their doors in October of 2011, even though little progress had been made.
01:24:28.000The Clintons themselves simply stopped speaking about Haiti.
01:24:31.000After the first two years, they were nowhere to be seen there, despite Hillary having promised that her commitment to Haiti would long outlast her tenure as Secretary of State.
01:24:39.000Haiti had been given little attention during Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
01:24:43.000Even though the Haiti project was ostensibly one of great pride for both Clintons.
01:24:47.000The widespread consensus among observers is that the Haiti recovery, which Time magazine called the U.S.' 's most compassionate invasion.
01:24:55.000Yeah, that is actually quite a good description, isn't it?
01:25:01.000Warren, Bill, some people need helping.
01:25:04.000Oh, yeah, we're going to help you, all right.
01:25:06.000was a catastrophically mismanaged disappointment.
01:25:09.000If anything, they appear worse off, said foreign policy of Haiti's farmers.
01:25:14.000I really cannot understand how you could raise so much money,
01:25:16.000put a former US president in charge, and get this outcome, said one Haitian official.
01:25:21.000I think we're beginning to understand.
01:25:22.000Indeed, the money donated and invested was extraordinary, but nobody seems to know where it has gone.
01:25:28.000While you might be distracted and while it might be temporarily appealing
01:25:32.000to focus on the details of gangs and cannibalism and barbarism,
01:25:36.000and, oh, they can't be in charge of a country, they're letting people out of a prison.
01:25:39.000The simple fact is, other than a few aesthetic differences, some insignia, some legal language, some documentation and the support of a global establishment, the Clinton Foundation is a gang.
01:25:51.000Favours for their mates, violence to get what they want, pretty cool.
01:25:56.000To be a part of, but not great fun to be on the other side of.
01:26:00.000Maybe what needs to happen now is this globalist elite that exploits your great country in order to facilitate its own ends should stop invading other countries, compassionately or otherwise, should stop supporting wars abroad, should stop arming the world and creating proxy distractions that lead to the death of thousands, sometimes millions of people, and focus instead on, well actually they shouldn't focus on anything, they should stop it!
01:26:22.000They shouldn't be in charge of anything anymore!
01:26:32.000You can go and see what's happening in Haiti right now and see if it's connected to the imposition of those tariffs that Bill Clinton imposed, the actions of the Clinton Foundation, and of course, things that we don't even know about yet and wouldn't...
