00:00:00.000 You guys probably don't need to be told this, but I want to reiterate it today anyways.
00:00:04.700 Never go full liberal on the internet.
00:00:07.580 There is a certain type of liberal party supporter, not the majority, but not an insignificant portion either,
00:00:13.920 that we refer to as true and on conspiracy theorists.
00:00:18.000 These are people who are so pro-liberal, so pro-Trudeau,
00:00:21.920 that they truly believe that the liberal party and Trudeau have never had a real scandal or real corruption issue
00:00:27.880 or even a policy failure during the total nine years that they've been in office.
00:00:33.160 They actually believe that people like Jody Wilson-Raybould, when she exposed the SNC-Lavalin scandal,
00:00:39.160 is just jealous of Trudeau and then helped make up a bunch of stuff
00:00:42.240 because every Trudeau liberal scandal is actually just a conservative manufactured issue
00:00:48.080 and the media is actually in the conservatives' pocket, not the liberals' and all this stuff.
00:00:52.540 They actually convince themselves of these lies because they hate conservatives so much
00:00:58.400 that they believe that because conservatives are 100% nefarious, lie about everything,
00:01:04.160 that that must mean that Trudeau is actually the paragon of good and could never lie in his entire life.
00:01:10.060 And this leads them to doing such weird things as claiming just photos of pure poly of are faked.
00:01:16.820 Pure poly of being at a rally and someone taking a photo of him,
00:01:19.560 that is a faked conservative party photo that was then leaked through a small conservative account on Twitter
00:01:26.120 in order to make it look like pure poly of has more support than he really does.
00:01:30.380 And none of this makes sense from the get-go,
00:01:32.980 but I'll at least show you what the photo is that a bunch of these people are freaking out about today.
00:01:37.300 They believe that this photo is faked.
00:01:40.680 Pure poly of at a rally that thousands of people or at least hundreds of people were at
00:01:45.160 and could verify was real, that this is all a setup, that the conservatives paid actors,
00:01:50.860 or at least all these people are CGI, and then they have green screened or blue screened in
00:01:55.760 pure poly of to make it look like a big crowd of people showed up for him in Halifax,
00:02:00.340 when in reality it's just a studio or whatever, and there's someone with Photoshop that's making this all look real.
00:02:07.600 And I've said this before in other videos.
00:02:09.100 Man, if the conservative party was this good at blue screening things,
00:02:12.960 that Disney should fire whoever's doing their CGI and they should hire the conservative party,
00:02:17.440 because apparently they can do things completely photo-realistically without even a hint of fakery.
00:02:22.880 But there's a lot of people who share this conspiracy theory that this was exactly what happened.
00:02:28.100 The conservative party has faked this photo.
00:02:30.800 And you'll see this little blue circle around the phone in the foreground,
00:02:35.500 and they're claiming that this is somehow evidence that pure poly of isn't really there,
00:02:40.800 because I guess these people have really bad eyesight,
00:02:43.560 and they can't see that the phone in the foreground recording the event has a different angle,
00:02:49.020 so obviously it wasn't going to look like the photo further back taking this photo.
00:02:53.460 And I don't know if they just have tricked themselves into thinking pure poly of is not really in the photo,
00:02:58.060 like he's some vampire or something.
00:02:59.540 But if you look closer, you can clearly see pure poly of is there,
00:03:03.500 and that this phone is picking up a bunch of people in the foreground.
00:03:07.960 I think that's because they're like, oh, this lady with the red hair isn't in that video.
00:03:12.880 It's like, well, yeah, because that camera recording video is right next to her head,
00:03:17.400 so obviously her head is not going to be in the video.
00:03:20.260 I don't even know why I have to explain this.
00:03:22.540 Never go full liberal.
00:03:24.220 It makes your mind do really funny things.
00:03:27.160 It is a good way of pickling your brain.
00:03:29.840 But I always find it funny whenever people go after the Conservative Party
00:03:33.100 that the Conservative Party is full of conspiracy theorists.
00:03:36.520 I haven't really met them yet, all these supposed conspiracy theorists.
00:03:40.140 There are far more people who vote for the Liberals and the NDP
00:03:43.520 who can convince themselves of actively anything in order to take an anti-conservative position.
00:03:49.400 And mark my words, if you talk to any of these people posting this stuff,
00:03:53.780 they truly believe that this is a faked photograph.
00:03:57.160 Despite the fact that if you got a bunch of actors into a room to pretend there was a rally going on,
00:04:02.720 why not just have Pierre Polyev show up and do the rally, do the pretend rally?
00:04:07.180 But they've convinced themselves that somehow the Conservative Party,
00:04:10.260 that one, Pierre Polyev is not nearly as popular as he is,
00:04:13.060 even though the polls clearly show he's very popular,
00:04:15.640 that the Conservatives brought a bunch of people into a room
00:04:18.220 and then took videos and photos of them jumping up and cheering,
00:04:21.340 and then they just blue-screened in Pierre later rather than just having Pierre show up
00:04:25.320 as if the implication is Pierre is so unpopular.
00:04:28.500 If these people knew that this was a Pierre rally that they were acting for,
00:04:32.280 that they wouldn't have done it.
00:04:33.180 I don't even know how to climb into these people's heads.
00:04:35.940 It's a very scary place to probably enter many of these people's minds,
00:04:39.580 but that's my best guess at how these people even square this circle peg.
00:04:45.240 I don't know what these people are even going after.
00:04:48.640 I don't want to repeat myself too much here, but it's very baffling.
00:04:52.000 And we've seen this happen before.
00:04:53.540 They've done this many times where they find certain lighting discrepancies,
00:04:57.780 and because Pierre looks slightly lighter on a stage than the crowd looks
00:05:02.200 in a room where he obviously has a spotlight over himself,
00:05:04.760 that means it's a green screen.
00:05:06.100 Well, God, I don't know what to tell you.
00:05:08.340 And these people are the same ones, again,
00:05:10.200 who think that the media is actually pro-conservative.
00:05:12.860 Because they do not basically fart catch the way true non-people do, 1.00
00:05:17.740 the media doesn't.
00:05:18.800 That means that they're anti-liberal.
00:05:20.340 Because they're not full-on Goebbels-style liberal propagandists,
00:05:24.560 that means they're actually in it for the conservatives.
00:05:27.720 You'll see these people sharing charts of all these media publications
00:05:31.760 and show, well, in the last election,
00:05:33.700 all these publications endorsed the conservatives.
00:05:35.720 I was like, well, no, they did not.
00:05:37.340 There was a conservative opinion writer who endorsed the conservatives
00:05:41.040 during that election cycle,
00:05:42.400 and you're mistaking that for being the entire paper endorsing the conservatives
00:05:47.100 when it's just their most popular opinion writer.
00:05:49.980 No mistake that the most popular writer is going to be a conservative
00:05:52.360 because they tend to write true things compared to a liberal.
00:05:55.400 That means that, like, for some reason,
00:05:58.220 the National Post and the Toronto Sun and the CBC
00:06:01.460 and the Globe and Mail endorsed the conservatives.
00:06:04.120 Like, no, a lot of these publications are either very soft conservative
00:06:08.240 or very obviously liberal.
00:06:10.400 I've seen some people imply that the Toronto Star is pro-liberal.
00:06:14.040 I don't know how they get to that conclusion, but they have.
00:06:17.160 But anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:06:19.680 Never do this if you're a conservative from the other angle.
00:06:22.440 If you see photos of Trudeau,
00:06:24.400 don't try and go down the rabbit hole of,
00:06:26.100 is it a fake Trudeau?
00:06:27.300 Is this all CG?
00:06:28.420 It's not.
00:06:29.520 Every once in a while, you'll see a, like,
00:06:31.600 a photo of, like, the royal family that was CG edited.
00:06:34.540 But that's, like, the royal family who is so image-obsessed
00:06:37.920 that they've, for some reason,
00:06:39.400 taken the best photos of each member of the family to insert into it.
00:06:43.000 And it makes, like, this really uncanny, like, image.
00:06:46.000 But, like, for the most part,
00:06:47.480 most things that happen in politics are real.
00:06:50.780 There's not a lot of, like, fake stuff going on.
00:06:53.320 Because to fake something, you need 10 times the budget
00:06:55.960 that any Canadian party has.
00:06:58.060 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:07:00.300 I have my give, send, go in the description of this video.
00:07:03.440 We have a big, stupid lawsuit against myself,
00:07:06.420 the National Telegraph, by a billionaire developer.
00:07:08.940 He has no evidence we defamed him.
00:07:10.860 Our reporting on him was all based on previous
00:07:13.440 Globe and Mail reporting,
00:07:14.540 other than the fact that he was donating to Aaron O'Toole,
00:07:17.340 which was public information.
00:07:18.480 And I guess that was what deserved us a $600,000 or $900,000 lawsuit.
00:07:24.540 I can't explain it to you,
00:07:26.320 and this guy can't explain why he's suing either,
00:07:28.420 even though we're two years into it.
00:07:30.080 But if you want to help us take the burden of the costs off of us,
00:07:33.200 donating anything to the give, send, go really helps us out.
00:07:36.280 We've paid more than $26,000 in.
00:07:38.540 And so even $5, $10 makes it so that we can reinvest,
00:07:42.540 hopefully, in the National Telegraph
00:07:44.040 and not put all of our funds behind the scenes into this lawsuit.
00:07:48.800 Anyways, that should be it for me today, guys.
00:07:50.900 Have a good one.
