00:17:07.440And once again, thank you very much to Jeff Stone and all your crew down there at Tacit Investigations and Security.
00:17:15.240And by the way, for anybody who wants to get their message out through this show to advertise their product or service, you can get a hold of me.
00:45:39.660That's what I want to see here in Canada
00:45:41.740I know it's a pipe dream, but that's what I want to see here in Canada.
00:45:48.060We've got some premiers who are now standing up against this Sochi 123 curriculum in schools
00:45:53.640by saying things like, well, parents have a right to know and consent to all of this.
00:45:58.700But I want to see these people stand up and say, oh, no, no, no.
00:46:02.560This curriculum is out of our publicly funded school system and libraries.
00:46:07.640Come to think of it, it's out of anything publicly funded.
00:46:11.740And I would also like to see Premier Smith, Moe, Ford, Stephenson, Higgs, any of them say, oh, and by the way, any private agency, public agency that tries to impose a mask or vaccine mandate will be fined $10,000 per day for as long as that mandate remains in place, period.
00:52:09.560It's real life with real consequences.
00:52:12.220This makes me think of the guys in Coots or from Coots who are still in jail right now, 560 some odd days into this nightmare.
00:52:22.960The system incentivizes compliance that isn't legally binding.
00:52:27.600There's no law requiring people to borrow vast sums to attend college or take out a crushing mortgage to own a house.
00:52:34.200These are social norms we are encouraged or pressured to comply with.
00:52:39.840The point this dude is making with neither comply nor resist is noncompliance and nonresistance are paths to personal freedom and responsibility that have no legal consequence.
00:52:49.420The individual who doesn't pop up as a nail or a threat to the powers that be and who renders to Caesar what is Caesar's isn't going to attract a lot of official attention.
00:53:01.400Fading into the dull gray background of millions of other people with similar profiles is a practical strategy as social norms break down and authoritarian responses increase accordingly.
00:53:14.900it's called opting out and it's been a successful strategy since the waning days of the western0.95
00:53:21.800roman empire don't want to pay high taxes then need less so you can make less money low income
00:53:28.140low taxes start a self-employment enterprise that enables you to legally reduce your net income by
00:53:33.540expensing legitimate expenses the less you need the easier life gets the healthier you are the
00:53:38.720easier life gets the more you produce and the less you consume the easier life gets and so on
00:53:44.320Decaying social norms and systems are more prone to breaking down.
00:53:48.520If things that were once reliable are no longer reliable or predictable, life gets less easy, like it is right now.
00:53:57.260The more self-reliant we are, the lower our exposure to risk and the downside of system decay.
00:54:04.000The decay of social norms and status quo systems triggering and authoritarian tightening of the screws is a well-worn pattern throughout human history.
00:54:12.440shouldn't surprise us to be living this dynamic in real time. We don't control the decay or the
00:54:18.640authoritarianism, but we do control our response. Those who opt out or otherwise reduce their
00:54:25.340dependence and exposure to risk-serve society in several ways. By reducing dependence and
00:54:32.760consumption, we lighten the load on institutions struggling to maintain services. By prioritizing
00:54:38.360production over consumption we're adding goods and services and not just consuming them by
00:54:43.040contributing to networks of other trustworthy self-reliant people we're maintaining positive
00:54:48.020social norms and setting an example of how life can still be worthwhile and rewarding even as
00:54:53.420social norms degrade and authoritarian pressure increases interesting isn't it that people
00:55:01.860know what's going on but they're just playing they're playing the long game i suppose right
00:55:10.180maybe maybe maybe they're just getting along to go along and they're stockpiling canned goods and
00:55:18.780have been for two or three years they've built a greenhouse in their backyard but covered it up
00:55:22.860with the tarps and nobody can see they've bought firearms and bullets to go with them
00:55:29.640they've buried money, gold, silver in the ground
00:57:08.880what am i talking about what running for re-election in 2026
00:57:13.080did you hear the question senator running for re-election in 2026
00:57:25.220all right i'm sorry you all we're going to need a minute
00:57:43.080it's like he just like you know one of those old wind-up toys we used to have
00:57:52.500when when we were kids you know you the thing was in the back and then you'd watch it go walk
00:57:58.700and then it would just stop and then you go wind it up again and let it go that's what it seems
00:58:04.500like the last two times that he's been on camera talking to media all of a sudden he just stops
00:58:09.240Well, uh, so I'm not making fun either.
00:58:19.600I'm just trying to figure this whole thing out, but why he shouldn't be working anymore.
00:58:29.480The man is in his eighties and he's done his bit for King and country.
00:58:33.760And I'm not going to say that he did a fantastic job either, because we know that he was probably crooked as a dog, dog's hind legs, as my grandfather used to say.
