00:09:51.180But hearing ordinary Canadians sharing how something's impacted them, we're in this age where the mainstream media that is supposed to hold the government to account just simply isn't doing that.
00:10:05.020And so what institution is there when an important issue comes up that can basically shine light, can reveal truth?
00:10:13.880We can't force the government to do anything, but I think we could step into that role of revealing, you know, what's really going on and give Canadians, you know, at least the opportunity to respond to truth.
00:10:26.360Because the problem is, is when you don't know what's going on, you can't even decide how to properly react to what's going on.
00:10:33.720And it seems to me that we just have found ourselves in a situation in Canada where, you know, public officials don't have to be honest.
00:10:41.860and where institutions don't have to be accountable
00:10:45.040because we don't hold them accountable.
00:10:48.780But part of that is we don't know what's going on.
00:10:51.860Yeah, the media has been absolutely complicit in this.
00:32:46.480and I think actually shadow and I mean the reason why you have shows the reason why the NCI calls
00:32:52.960witnesses is so that people can see truth so that then we can decide what we're going to do with
00:33:02.900truth it's it's a revealing but I think that we're starting people are going to are starting
00:33:07.900to have to choose sides on things as it gets more crazy I mean I think in the United States
00:33:12.780And regardless of what you think of Trump, people are revealing whether they hate him or don't hate him, right?
00:33:21.240Like, I mean, all these actions to keep him off the ballot in the various states, which, you know, my understanding is is totally unprecedented.
00:33:30.520So, I mean, we're in an exciting time because I think just our corruption and our allowing things to get to this point, you know, we've got a lot of work to do.
00:33:40.440but that's okay we can just do the work but as people get revealed
00:33:46.160for being on the wrong side like what if we have a public official and it's revealed they're lying
00:33:53.000and it's revealed they're corrupt or it's revealed that they're not acting in the public interest
00:33:57.020are we supposed to hold their hands and sing kumbaya are we supposed to kick them out
00:34:03.600throw them in jail maybe would be would be better and you know there's a lot of people sean who who
00:34:09.300want retribution they want to see the perp walk for justin trudeau and i know that that's not
00:34:14.140going to happen one day but getting back to the fence for a second you know i find that interesting
00:34:18.960because the people who are not deciding or they're trying so hard to sit on that fence god's going to
00:34:25.580shake them off one way or the other right and we all feel that somebody else is going to make up
00:34:31.920their mind for them which is the thing you know somebody asked me the other day jamie soleil i
00:34:37.460was on her show. And she asked me, could you ever not do what you're doing? And I said, no,
00:34:45.980I couldn't sleep at night. This is the reason I do this is because I'm trying to reveal things,
00:34:52.720just like you say. I want the truth out there. I want the people who are supposed to be accountable
00:34:58.080to be accountable, the elected people, the appointed people. It doesn't matter to me.
00:35:02.640they've been put into a job where they're accountable to the public and they're not doing so
00:35:08.640and so with every word we utter with every action we take we want to get that truth out there for
00:35:15.920people to understand and absorb that truth and then it's up to them what they want to do with it
00:35:20.500but this is what our job is as you say you know i found your your answer to jamie soleil really
00:35:27.680interesting that you wouldn't be able to sleep at night because first of all people don't understand
00:35:32.520how much work it is to put on a podcast like you do and to do it as well as you do and push it out
00:35:38.880as well as you do people have no idea shadow the commitment that you're making to do this
00:35:44.760and um but it's funny because my wife and i i think it was maybe three days ago because my wife
00:35:51.640um has been heavily involved in the nci and basically since the hearings has run most of
00:35:57.560of the operating structures and but it's just been horrible because we've been sabotaged within for
00:36:04.320so long I've well we both felt that we were under a constructive dismissal attempt for quite a long
00:36:10.740period of time and and we just wanted to quit and wanted to quit and wanted to quit and but just
00:36:17.160felt we couldn't and you know my wife was really upset the other day and and wondering if she could
00:36:25.060go on and i asked her i said can you quit
00:36:30.520and she thought about it like she took her time and she's you know and basically it's like she
00:36:39.380couldn't live with herself until the nci is safe like for her she feels her role is um to keep it
00:36:47.320safe until you know it's in safe hands and others can push you know push forward with with the
00:36:52.420commissioner report and further healing or hearings rather but you know it's not a freudian slip to
00:36:58.300say healing because the the hearings are or whatever one of the same yeah i think some truth slipped
00:37:05.900out um but you have to understand that um the most important thing for you is to be proud of who you
00:37:16.020are and do what's right regardless of the cost. You know, Shadow, and I expect this is for all
00:37:25.360your viewers, that when they were young, but I'm going to just switch it to first person for them.
00:37:31.120So when you were young, you had this feeling like you're just a little kid, but you had this
00:37:38.300feeling you were here for something really important. Like you just knew it. You were
00:37:43.040special you were here for something really important you didn't know what it was but you knew
00:37:47.440you were here to make a difference and then you know we socialize you in school and then we
00:37:53.900socialize you in school some more and then either you got to get a job or go to university and
00:37:58.700college and get more school and then get a job and then you know before you know it you're got
00:38:03.240a family and you're driving kids to soccer practice and you probably found yourself thinking in all
00:38:08.120this busyness that our society deliberately creates for us this is by design you probably
00:38:15.700found yourself thinking well i guess i was wrong when i was a little kid
00:38:19.480that i wasn't here for anything special because you know life's just got you so caught up you'd
00:38:25.260no longer believe you'd make a difference but now we're in this situation where everything's changed
00:38:30.280where now we know that we're in a historic time we're in a we are in a turning point
00:38:36.140we actually have the opportunity now you know every period of time in history there's kind of
00:38:43.100a rebirth and we evolve in how we govern ourselves into something better than we had before and we
00:38:50.320change our way of thinking and we we change the philosophical assumptions that underlay our
00:38:55.920society i think we're at one of those turning points if you stand up and do the important
00:39:03.340things that you're here to do because actually it's us here right now that get to decide do we
00:39:09.840slide into world tyranny or do we birth and birthing is painful but do we birth into something
00:39:16.060that they're going to look back and see this as a wonderful turning point that we brought about
00:39:25.340because we stood up and chose to be the people that we are right now being called to be so i mean
00:39:31.140we're in an exciting time it's kind of you know that phrase best of times worst of times
00:39:36.500right so you you were very incrementally talking about uh the constructive dismissal you just
00:39:44.600referred to it um when it comes to the inner workings of the nci and i know it's a long
00:39:50.780explanation but if you could please tell us well what has happened yeah so i won't go into the
00:39:56.500constructive dismissal um that that's been something that had been going on for a long time
00:40:01.220because you know there were there was a different vision from the very beginning like we didn't
00:40:08.220realize that there was a faction within us that seemed to be working together um
00:40:12.680that truly have a different vision and i don't have a problem with you having a different vision
00:40:18.780i just have a problem when you make representations that that i don't think are truthful
00:40:25.160and then you try to bully us and others with it so let me share with you what happened i have to
00:40:30.080go back to the structure so i told you 11 of us started this we called ourselves the support group
00:40:35.880we're we're a board but we actually use the very milquetoast term support group because we're going
00:40:41.900to have commissioners and we don't want it to appear that you know we're the boss like everything
00:40:46.420we're doing is to be independent right down to how we'd refer to ourselves but you know
00:40:51.420shadow hopefully you can provide that link to the memo and shadow said something like it's seven or
00:40:59.140eighty pages don't let that don't let that make you afraid the memo i think is seven or eight
00:41:04.800pages and you know not it's not a small print or anything the memo itself is an easy read
00:41:10.140but the documents it refers to are attached so if you if we refer to a document and you want to look
00:41:17.880at the whole thing it's there so we're just trying to actually be transparent by providing the
00:41:24.020documents but i do realize the size when you download the pdf of scared people
00:41:28.220it has but one of the things in there one of the documents are our minutes
00:41:34.640of that first meeting and you'll see we're very organized you know we're figuring out our quorum
00:41:39.360we're figuring out our membership we're figuring out how we're going to govern ourselves and then
00:41:44.560we're just getting down and doing business so at that point we are an unincorporated association
00:41:51.760and most things that are done are done just by people that get together and just do it
00:41:57.260and you're we're free to do that right so you don't need to have a corporation to get together
00:42:05.220and organize something like the nci and do it so but very soon we needed we realized well we've got
00:42:11.020to collect funds because we we didn't have any funds um i don't even remember what our our initial
00:42:16.840estimate was but i think it was over a million dollars to run eight sets of hearings you know
00:42:23.420three days in each city basically marching our original plan was to have five commissioners not
00:42:28.920four it just worked out we ended up with four so you know we're thinking we're gonna have to raise
00:42:34.020a million dollars well i'm not going to collect funds like if people had to write checks to sean
00:42:39.780buckley or david ross or something in their own personal name that's going to look pretty funny
00:42:44.360right like that's not going to go over very well with the public so let's incorporate a non-profit
00:42:50.500and now shadow we have a decision to make do the 11 of us all become board members so directors
00:42:59.360of the non-profit and adopt a corporate board model for governance that was open to us
00:43:06.820it's funny that we've done that now in the support group we've incorporated a new non-profit
00:43:13.300and we we've moved into the board model but back then we didn't for two reasons
00:43:19.840one of the reasons where some of us myself included were afraid to be publicly mentioned
00:43:26.380like you have to remember this is back in the summer of 2022
00:43:30.040too. I mean, the piece that the truckers brought to us was still a new thing. And I know I was
00:43:40.020personally afraid of being identified. And then also we had a problem is some of us were really
00:43:46.620publicly identifiable with certain positions. So our current chair, Ted Kuntz, well, I mean,
00:43:53.300he's president of vaccine choice canada now the optics there aren't good are they
00:43:58.860so because here we're building ourselves as an independent inquiry and and we really did do
00:44:07.000everything we could to make it as independent as possible and now we're all extremely proud of that
00:44:11.740but we thought well if we list and ted wasn't the only one that was like a freedom group leader
00:44:15.900if we like list ourselves as directors you have to publicly do that in the board model
00:44:20.240well then people are going to say you guys can't run an independent inquiry
00:44:24.680so we so those were the two reasons fear and we didn't want to sabotage ourselves so we actually
00:44:32.200have this discussion at a board meeting or i'll call it a board meeting or a support group meeting
00:44:40.020same thing we have this discussion and it's like well okay that's fine so we're going to then just
00:44:45.880incorporate for the sole purpose of collecting and dispersing funds, but we're only going to
00:44:51.220name three of us as directors. So like, it's funny, because there's, you know, three people
00:44:56.480involved in this, you know, I'll call it palace coup, you know, David Ross, Jess Crosby, and
00:45:04.240Andre Litvinenko. I'm sorry, I stumbled over that, and I apologize, Andre, because it's
00:45:10.780and it's actually important to have names correct um so david ross and andre were charged at that
00:45:19.060meeting will you guys figure out the the corporate structure and come up with a proposal for us
00:45:23.640so by the next meeting they drafted a proposal it was drafted on august 18 2022
00:45:29.800and so we actually have this it's part of our minutes this proposal i'm just going to read a
00:45:36.640bit of it now but the proposal is an attachment to the memo like all of this that i'm talking about
00:45:42.540you can just you can go into great detail but i'm just going to read part of it i'm going to read
00:45:47.000it verbatim except that there's a couple of places where there's the letter nfp which stands for not
00:45:54.380for profit and if i write in it just say nfp you're not going to know what i'm talking about
00:45:59.080so but for that i'm reading verbatim the not for profit so this is the proposal prepared by david
00:46:05.860Ross and Andre in response to us saying no we just want this to collect and disperse funds but
00:46:12.540we're going to run the show so they actually drafted this and brought it back to us as a
00:46:16.900proposal accurately and it reads the non-profit not-for-profit would strictly act as a legal
00:46:27.180organ for the inquiry and shall not be used as a decision-making mechanism the support committee
00:46:35.500shall retain authority over all administrative, logistical, and financial matters, instructing
00:46:44.560the not-for-profits board to action as needed, example, releasing funds. A little later on in
00:46:51.320that document, under the heading Directors and Formal Rules, it reads, per Section A above,
00:46:56.900I've just read from Section 8. The not-for-profit merely acts as a necessary legal organ and has no
00:47:07.080formal authority to make administrative, logistical, or financial decisions on the
00:47:12.580inquiry's behalf. So we adopt this proposal, which reflected what we had discussed at the previous
00:47:19.340meeting. We adopted it without changes, and we charged them with incorporating. And they also
00:47:25.780suggested let's have three directors you know the two that i'd mentioned and one other and and we
00:47:31.360agreed with the proposal 100 and so this non-profit is incorporated now i include the bylaws in the
00:47:38.060memo but you can go to corporations canada and download them for free they have a background
00:47:43.620section before the text of the bylaws now that's unusual like you don't normally put a background
00:47:50.360section but it was so important for us to make clear that the not-for-profit called citizens
00:47:57.640inquiry canada was just there to collect and disperse funds it actually says that in the
00:48:02.600bylaws in the background that they're there on the behest of the support group to collect and
00:48:07.100disperse funds well we so we incorporate them with the three directors and the 11 support group
00:48:15.820people are the members we're all the members this becomes important later on something that
00:48:22.320that just happened within the last 24 hours because the agreement was the members of the
00:48:27.700corporation would be the members of the support group so they would mirror each other so we're
00:48:32.940not named as directors but we're the members so this is all working fine we're not having any
00:48:39.320disagreement about this at all. And now it's time to draft the inquiry rules.
00:48:46.260You can go to our website, citizensinquiry.ca, and read the rules. They're on the website. And
00:48:55.800you can go to the Wayback Machine and verify that they've never changed. Posted them and
00:49:02.260they've never changed now in the introduction section to the rules it makes it really clear
00:49:09.740the support group runs the show and you know the not-for-profit is just there to collect and
00:49:16.600disperse funds and then section eight of the rules has a definition of support group and i do want to
00:49:23.080read that and i'll just i'll read it verbatim but you can go the rules yourself and read them
00:49:27.220Support group means the collection of individuals forming the support group, which started and manages both the National Citizens Inquiry and the non-profit corporation started for the management of National Citizen Inquiry funds.
00:49:49.200So even in our rules, which govern the inquiry, both the administration and the commissioners, we made it crystal clear.
00:50:00.680And it's funny, just today I was looking at all the emails back and forth between myself and Chess Crosby and, you know, the lawyer we had helped draft the rules with us.
00:50:10.340You know, back and forth, actually on this issue about making it super clear in the rules that the support group is the governing body.
00:50:18.140in fact the non-profit isn't even mentioned by name it's only mentioned a couple of times
00:50:23.320and always it's mentioned just to make it clear that they they work for the support group and
00:50:29.120not the other way around if you were to go through all of our minutes of all of our meetings you
00:50:35.700would see that absolutely every decision of any consequence is well all decisions i'm not aware
00:50:42.780of a single decision other than you know like they're supposed to hold meetings to govern the
00:50:49.260company they got that obligation which is tasked by us with collecting and dispersing funds
00:50:53.980like shadow it's funny because that's all we've asked them to do it's
00:51:00.600i'll go on before i say that so another thing that's interesting is you know we had mr david
00:51:07.820Ross. Remember when Preston Manning became chair of the Alberta thing and some people were
00:51:13.460suggesting, you know, Preston, you shouldn't be chairing this and you shouldn't be the public
00:51:17.940face. And so he stepped down. He stepped down as our spokesperson and he stepped down as chair of
00:51:25.560the support committee and David Ross was appointed in his place. And so I think that happened in
00:51:32.900April of 2023 and then up until December 13th of this of 2023 David Ross was our chair now
00:51:43.040this is important because as the chairperson you know how we're run surely I mean and he was a
00:51:48.980founding support group member anyway and he drafted that proposal that I read from so all of our
00:51:55.320management under David Ross was consistent with the support group running the show but he gets
00:52:01.800voted off for cause on December 13th of 2023. And two days later, he sends an email to Mr. Ted
00:52:11.360Kuntz, who's the new chair of the support group. And I'm going to read to you part of the email
00:52:16.820because it makes it clear again that the support group runs the show. So the email is just setting
00:52:23.800out. He's having to transition out now. It's quite an appropriate email. He's saying, well,
00:52:28.800we have to deal with this. We have to deal with this. And then he's saying, you know, this,
00:52:33.600the nonprofit, it's got to have its annual general meeting. And then he says, and this is this email
00:52:40.560is part of the memo. So you can read it yourself in context. But he says to Mr. Ted Kuntz, the new
00:52:47.460chair, would you please make it an urgent priority for the support group to confirm the appointment
00:52:56.220of andre let vinjenko and tag law as nci's corporate lawyers to guide the needed restructuring
00:53:03.860so he's just talking about how the non-profit needs to be restructured and he's begging ted
00:53:08.960cunts put this on the support group agenda to appoint the lawyer now i'll ask anyone
00:53:15.580because now they're taking the position that no the non-profit runs everything the support group
00:53:23.860has no authority and they've just kind of suffered us um this little charade of running things
00:53:30.560that's not consistent with this email begging ted to appoint a lawyer and then on the 17th and i
00:53:39.600won't read that one but mr ross sends another email to ted koontz basically saying you got
00:53:46.240to get my personal information and and payment liability off some of these things because i'm
00:53:52.400no longer in management and I don't want that if I'm no longer in management which I'm not
00:53:56.920again not very consistent so the point I'm trying to make and I'll just stop there on the
00:54:03.600the documentation is is for an entire history our documentation clearly shows and so I challenge
00:54:11.840anyone to read that memo I don't want to talk to anyone saying hold hands and sing kumbaya if you
00:54:17.500haven't read the memo because what happened then is about and i don't have the exact date but maybe
00:54:23.200about 12 days after we voted mr ross off of the support group he and mr ches crosby and andre all
00:54:32.500of a sudden for the first time we hear no you have no authority we run the the nci we're the directors
00:54:40.500of the non-profit the non-profit has all the the authority and you're our lapdogs now
01:12:59.480And again, I know it's speculation, Sean, but I just I'm floored here that there's people who are actually trying to take this down.
01:13:07.700I'm floored, too, because I think the National Citizens Inquiry is our best chance at, you know, pulling this country back from the brink because it's such a powerful tool.
01:13:17.520And there's so many people behind us. So I'm actually grieved like shadow.
01:13:22.980i don't have a single law file i've closed my office i i'm still paying my dues and stuff like
01:13:30.020that and you know if somebody comes along and wants consulting or nhp licensing i'll you know
01:13:35.380pass that on to my scientist that does that but i'm not i'm not practicing law because i do you
01:13:42.500know basically volunteered more than full time since july of 2022 because i believe this was an
01:13:51.680this was something that god would bless to use to shine light and the thing that i can't stand
01:13:57.760shadow is that we're jabbing kids like you can disagree with me your audience can disagree
01:14:04.060but i'm of the view that it it is reckless for us to be jabbing kids with mnra vaccines
01:14:10.900and and i want to stop it like i want to stop mothers from jabbing kids and i'm grieved you
01:14:18.300take our social media accounts away so we can't because we're just growing and growing and growing
