00:12:47.620All right, we're going to get into this story in just a second.
00:12:50.420Wuhan researcher claims China engineered COVID-19 as a bioweapon. Interesting that it looks like
00:12:56.780Marxist corporate media down there in the United States, CNBC, a CNBC affiliate, TV 18. I'm not
00:13:04.460sure what city that's in, but TV 18 is covering this. What? Not that this is news for people like
00:13:11.280us who have been following the real stuff for the past three or four years. Tucker Carlson had this
00:13:16.300on we're going to get to this in just a second you guys but first i want you to close your eyes
00:13:21.540this is very very important what i'm about to read to you so i want you to close your eyes
00:13:27.480and listen to this uh one of our viewers lily sent this to me today via email and i thought
00:13:34.380it was so poignant and so helpful and could possibly help us all understand what we've
00:13:42.480done to ourselves and how to overcome it. This is called a timeless method for resisting
00:13:48.680tyranny. So everybody, if you're not driving a vehicle or doing something that you need your
00:13:54.160eyes for, please close them now and just listen to me for the next three or four minutes as I go
00:13:58.520through this. Tyranny is not happening to us. It's happening because of us. And this was written by
00:14:07.620Barry Brownstein. If I were to sum up the rousing message of Etienne de la Botti's 16th century
00:14:14.920monograph, The Politics of Obedience, The Discourse on Voluntary Servitude, I would say we're not
00:14:21.340victims of the world we see. We've reversed cause and effect. Tyranny is not happening to us. It's
00:14:29.780happening because of us. Are we deceiving ourselves about our role in enabling our oppressors?
00:14:37.620As Murray Rothbard put it in his brilliant introduction to Labote's discourse,
00:14:43.000tyranny must necessarily be grounded upon general public acceptance.
00:14:48.960Even worse, was Aldous Huxley right that people would embrace with joy their oppression?
00:14:56.960As Neil Postman wrote in Amusing Ourselves to Death, in Huxley's vision,
00:15:01.740no big brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity, and history.
00:15:06.600As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.
00:15:14.760Huxley wrote, the greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and desires nothing better than to be told what to do.
00:15:25.500If you're not living in San Francisco or some other dystopian city, walk around your town and notice how people are naturally cooperative and peaceful.
00:15:32.520You may wonder, as Labote did, how it happens that so many men, so many villages, so many cities, so many nations sometimes suffer under a single tyrant who has no other power than the power they give him, who is able to harm them only to the extent to which they have the willingness to bear with him, who could do them absolutely no injury unless they preferred to put up with him rather than contradict him.
00:15:57.980put up with him rather than contradict him has always been a human tendency and something we're
00:16:05.820all too familiar with labote's discourse was influenced by greek philosopher plutarch's essay
00:16:11.920on compliancy michael fontaine a classics professor at cornell is working on a new
00:16:17.880translation of on compliancy in a series of talks one public fontaine explains that plutarch
00:16:23.740explored dystopia, not to be confused with dystopia. Dystopia is both an emotional feeling
00:16:31.580of being pressured and bullied and an act of caving to an improper or inappropriate request.
00:16:38.440Haven't we all experienced dystopia when someone asks something unreasonable of us and against our
00:16:44.500better judgment, we do it anyway? Plutarch was not necessarily writing about coercive interactions
00:16:50.580where force is applied. He was focused on situations where it's in your power to say
00:16:55.900no. Perhaps you attended a workplace meeting in which someone proposed the unvaccinated be fired.
00:17:02.440Did you lead in the cheering? Did you lend your consent by saying nothing in opposition?0.69
00:17:08.320Did you argue against vaccine mandates for students whose risks from the vaccine likely
00:17:13.100exceeded any beliefs or benefits? Did you support the rights of others to make their own
00:17:18.640medical decisions. Labotee correctly observed that we are traitors to ourselves by cooperating
00:17:27.420in oppression. He who thus domineers over you has only two eyes, only two hands, only one body,
00:17:34.900no more than is possessed by the least man among the infinite numbers dwelling in your cities.
00:17:39.560He has indeed nothing more than the power that you confer upon him to destroy you.
00:17:44.280where has he acquired enough eyes to spy upon you if you do not provide them yourselves
00:17:50.120how can he have so many arms to beat you with if he does not borrow them from you
00:17:55.640labote implored resolve to serve no more he continued i do not ask that you place your
00:18:05.580hands upon the tyrant to topple him over but simply that you support him no longer then
00:18:10.760you will behold him like a great colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away fall of his own
00:18:17.440weight and break into pieces labote recognized there are few at the core of power but that the
00:18:24.180core employs hundreds who employ thousands who today employ millions in order that they may
00:18:31.140serve as instruments of avarice and cruelty executing orders at the proper time today
00:18:37.080government has its tentacles everywhere and employs a significant percentage of the population.
00:18:42.500How can we withdraw consent? If we don't pay taxes, we may end up in court, even if we're
00:18:49.380Hunter Biden. At first glance, Labote's analysis may seem to offer no actionable path forward to
00:18:56.040topple today's tyrants. Yet look again. Where we need to withdraw our consent is from the apologists
00:19:04.860for the state. Rothbard explained, Labote highlights the point that this consent is
00:19:10.520engineered largely by propaganda, beamed at the populace by the rulers and their intellectual
00:19:16.020apologists. The devices of bread and circuses of ideological mystification that rulers today use
00:19:22.220to gull the masses and gain their consent remain the same as in Labote's days. The only difference
00:19:28.440is the enormous increase in the use of specialized intellectuals in the service of the rulers.
00:19:34.860But in this case, the primary task of opponents of modern tyranny is an educational one,
00:19:39.520to awaken the public to this process, to demystify and desanctify the state apparatus.
00:19:47.420Today, it may not be easy to withdraw consent from the government.
00:19:51.320Still, we can withdraw consent from the government's contemporary courtiers,
00:19:56.360the academics, journalists, pundits, experts, influencers, and administrators who, as Rothbard wrote,
00:20:02.480gull the masses to gain their consent.
00:20:04.860these apologists mainly treat you disrespectfully they claim to be oracles and say you have no
00:20:11.240capacity to understand their dogmas they appeal to their expertise and authority yet offer little
00:20:17.240evidence they lust for money and power not earned by serving customers but by lording over consumers
00:20:23.840the principles that enable humanity to flourish mean nothing to them the antidote is to ignore
00:20:30.180them or pull back the curtain to expose their empty rhetoric that's the one i would choose by
00:20:34.940the way that's the one i have chosen hopefully you have as well shut off the television spend
00:20:42.700your summer evenings with your loved ones or a good book that strengthens your moral courage
00:20:47.100fontaine translating plutarch asks us to overcome our dysopia by noticing our tendency to be people
00:20:55.480pleasers and regaining the power of saying no. Labote offered a pathway to finding our moral
00:21:02.380courage. Tyrants, he observed, are never loved nor loving. Genuine friendship, he observed,
00:21:09.600is never developed except between persons of character and never takes root except through
00:21:16.540mutual respect. It flourishes not so much by kindnesses as by sincerity. We're sure of our
00:21:23.340friends when we have knowledge of their integrity. Neither tyrants nor apologists act with integrity.
00:21:31.760Developing our character by respecting the autonomy of others is a pathway to liberty.
00:21:36.780Plutarch argued, and Labote would have agreed, caving in exacerbates problems rather than solves
00:21:42.540them. There will be no Wizard of Oz solution. We cannot merely click our heels three times
00:30:33.720If you're watching on Twitter, don't forget it's a heart and a retweet.
00:30:37.620this is from the substack of investigative reporter jordan shachtel the flu it's called
00:30:45.120the dossier by the way if you want to go read this for yourself the dossier on substack
00:30:49.060the flu did not disappear it was simply rebranded as covet whoa strong words with further commentary
00:30:55.280from the longtime lead scientist of the cdc's molecular diagnostic laboratory
00:31:00.940all right guys get ready for this ride because this is going to prove based upon the words of
00:31:11.940an expert a real one that you were right the whole time one of the biggest mysteries of the pandemic
00:31:20.080quote unquote involves the supposed disappearance of the flu did the flu really disappeared during
00:31:26.400the covid hysteria era or is something else afoot well here's the grand history sorry mystery in
00:31:32.760meme format first world health organization look at all the flu cases in 2016 17 29 million covid
00:31:38.680cases well we hadn't discovered it yet zero 45 million the next year 36 million the year after
00:31:45.360and 38 million the year after that but then 2021 the first real whole year of covid 15 000
00:31:53.800flu cases but 32 million covid cases which is something that we have all been pointing out for
00:32:01.580the past three years and how does the other side explain it you're dreaming man conspiracy theorist
00:32:08.540hater tinfoil hat now during the confusion and panic of the last few years there have been
00:32:19.660plenty of explanations advanced about the supposed disappearance of the flu. The lockdowners and
00:32:25.120their credentialed institutions often claim that masks worked. He puts in an LOL here
00:32:30.760to stop the flu, despite not working for COVID. Others claim that COVID had some kind of viral
00:32:39.060dominance effect that defeated influenza strains, which is what a doctor said on this very show
00:32:44.100three years ago a winnipeg doctor but she used the words that covid ate the flu to which i laughed
00:32:53.860and we parted ways neither explanation really solves the where did the flu go mystery the
00:33:01.280evidence seems to point to two main reasons for the flu's disappearance the physical disappearance
00:33:05.660of flu testing kits and a misunderstanding of what the flu actually means so let's go through this
00:33:12.180the flu tests were not physically available in healthcare systems. The dossier, this Substack
00:33:19.040account, surveyed several individuals and organizations with access to hospital system
00:33:24.100records and supply chain management. And we pooled together lots of anecdotal information to paint a
00:33:29.540greater picture of what happened. And they found that at least in the United States, there was
00:33:34.360virtually no access to flu testing during the COVID hysteria years, particularly 2020 and 2021.
00:33:41.680Virtually all testing manufacturers pivoted to COVID testing, leaving the influenza kits behind.
00:33:48.280According to pharma and government health, COVID was a much bigger priority, both from a health care perspective and a business perspective.
00:34:06.200The second reason, however, is even more important.
00:34:08.700the flu is not understood in its proper context. Prior to the establishment of the COVID testing
00:34:15.360industrial complex, I love that expression, which brought in well over $100 billion per year at its
00:34:21.760peak, flu was almost always diagnosed by symptoms, not by a swab test. And again, COVID symptoms are
00:34:29.320virtually identical to flu symptoms. In the vast majority of cases, what is the flu is traditionally
00:34:35.920understood not as a viral influenza diagnosis, but a general diagnosis of countless potential
00:34:41.580symptoms categorized in a broad category as flu. Very few doctor-diagnosed flu cases actually come
00:34:49.260from influenza strains. This is why it's the perfect rationale to understand COVID as the flu,
00:34:55.460but with scarier branding. Both flu and COVID share the same symptoms, so a potential flu case
00:35:02.160slash illness slash death, instead was generally diagnosed as a COVID case slash illness slash
00:35:09.140death. But enough from your humble correspondent. Let's read a more detailed response from someone
00:35:15.360who knows this issue very well. He also posed this question to Dr. Norman Pienzek,
00:35:22.780Pienzek, a renowned molecular biologist who worked at the CDC as the head of the
00:35:29.740molecular diagnostic laboratory for 20 years. Dr. Pienzek is an expert in PCR testing diagnostics
00:35:38.180and has a fascinating perspective on the shoddy science behind the pandemic.
00:35:44.980Here's his reply to the question from Dr. Norman J. Pienzek. Did the flu disappear during
00:35:53.020the COVID-19 era? He says, I will try to answer this question. However, first I must explain the
00:36:00.180terms common cold and flu influenza. Do you know that over 200 viruses cause colds and that people
00:36:08.380in the United States suffer from an estimated 1 billion colds yearly? Nonetheless, can we clearly
00:36:15.960say who suffers from the common cold and the flu? What about PCR, the technique used to monitor the
00:36:22.560cases of COVID-19. Unfortunately, PCR was found to be impractical for the diagnosis of infections
00:36:29.120of the respiratory tract for at least two reasons. The first problem is the diagnostic sample.
00:36:35.420Mucus samples taken from deep nostrils, that swab they jammed up your nose, throat, or nasopharynx,
00:36:42.660in essence, test the human air filter. The nasal passages have ridges that cause the air to swirl,
00:36:49.320similar to the dyson vacuum cleaner principle as the nasal passages in the whole respiratory
00:36:55.140tract are lined with mucus it traps viruses bacteria pollen fungal spores and dust this
00:37:00.980layer with trapped particles is moved by ciliated cells out of the airways number two when the mucus
00:37:06.900is tested with pcr detecting a part of a virus in the air filter doesn't mean the virus caused the
00:37:12.100infection this problem with swabs has been known for a long time and three the consensus is that
00:37:18.520bronchoalveolar lavage, or BAL, B-A-L, is the most appropriate specimen for detecting
00:37:26.760respiratory tract viral infections. Unfortunately, collecting samples for BAL is complex and
00:37:32.560may not be approved by the patient. The second problem was signaled above. Hang on, let me
00:37:38.240scroll this down here. With more than 200 possible infection causes, etiology, testing
00:37:46.920for all suspects is not feasible. While in a scientific study, no stone would be left unturned
00:37:52.560to diagnose patients enrolled in a project, surveillance cannot be done this way. CDC has
00:37:58.000developed a sentinel system for monitoring colds in the United States population. This system
00:38:02.620monitors visits for respiratory illnesses, including fever, cough, or sore throat. Such
00:38:07.600visits are classified as influenza-like illnesses, or ILI. And please note, this designation doesn't
00:38:14.620imply laboratory-confirmed influenza and captures patient visits due to all respiratory pathogens
00:38:21.220that cause similar symptoms. In addition to this system, CDC collects data on confirmed influenza
00:38:26.780cases. However, only about 1% of samples tested are usually positive. The take-home message is
00:38:34.200that no one knows how many flu cases are in the U.S. annually. The reported number of ILI may
00:38:41.040only be the tip of the iceberg with the arrival of the wuhan virus in january of 2020 all lessons
00:38:48.800of prior seasons were forgotten people were forced to be tested even when they showed
00:38:54.920no symptoms despite ample evidence to the contrary pcr done from swabs was suddenly advertised
00:39:01.060as the gold standard for diagnosis of infections of the respiratory system consider another
00:39:06.600important fact. In a carefully conducted study of hospitalized pneumonia patients diagnosed on
00:39:12.180classical x-ray or CAT scans, the cause of the infection could not be established in 62% of
00:39:19.740cases. How is it possible then that during the pandemic in the U.S., there were 107,201,630
00:39:29.640COVID infections and 1,166,899 COVID deaths as of today? Where are infections with other viruses?
00:39:39.940Where are conditions of unknown etiology? The answer is straightforward. The results of PCR
00:39:46.860testing just for one virus are meaningless. Then the doctor says, this scam should be obvious to
00:39:54.640anyone versed in diagnosing respiratory infections the head of molecular biology for 24 years at the
00:40:04.120cdc said this scam should be obvious to anyone versed in diagnosing respiratory infections
00:40:14.700the truth is getting out there guys i'm doing my best i know you're doing your best we have to keep
00:40:26.860it up we have to keep going if you want to find this article so you can share it to people who
00:40:31.740simply don't believe you tinfoil hat you go on substack and you look up the dossier
00:40:38.540it's that simple right you get substack and then they give you a search bar who are you looking for
00:40:45.600you write in the dossier d-o-s-s-i-e-r this will pop up this is the first article
00:40:51.120the latest article that pops up it should be right on top you still have politicians ex-politicians
00:40:57.440corporate magnates all of these people pushing to lock down again look at this from the independent
00:41:03.100UK must be prepared to lock down to prevent disease spread from the former health minister
00:41:09.380of the United Kingdom former health sorry secretary not minister was given evidence to
00:41:16.280the COVID-19 public inquiry this story was released today the UK must be prepared to hit
00:41:22.860a pandemic hard and lock down if necessary to prevent disease spreading said Matt Hancock
00:41:29.520former health secretary told the COVID-19 public inquiry that more should have been done to prepare
00:41:35.240for a lockdown before coronavirus began to spread in the UK in early 2020. What everybody missed
00:41:41.420in the Western world was the lockdowns were going to be necessary. I'm sorry, but I don't know what
00:41:48.480statistics he's pulling this from. It's been proven time and time and time again, the lockdowns
00:41:55.480were ineffective in stopping the virus as was shown not only that but it caused great harm
00:42:03.940for many people mental health issues abound and i don't know how we're going to fix them all
00:42:11.160and this guy wants more lockdowns isn't it amazing that a man of still of influence because he was
00:42:19.860a high-ranking government official in the uk is still lobbying for that draconian measure it's
00:42:28.220amazing okay guys i suspect the reason this show was taken off facebook farce book
00:42:36.860in the first place was not because i shared a cartoon it's because this show does news content
00:42:44.940And it does not agree with the liberal government, not on one thing.
00:42:52.220Bill C-18 passed, which means that large social media platforms, big tech, are going to have to pay news agencies money so that they can have their content appear on their platform.
00:43:03.920Now, Facebook doesn't agree because who's the real beneficiary of this deal?
00:43:09.860you would have to say it's the news agencies who are getting their content amplified through
00:43:14.260social media probably a thousand times and yet the social media companies are the ones that
00:43:20.540have to pay because of government regulation now law the news agencies it makes no sense
00:43:26.640whatsoever cbc did a thing here on power and politics with meta canada spokesperson rachel
00:43:33.960curran so let's have a look at this piece we're not going to play the whole thing it's nine minutes
00:43:38.340in 23 seconds but we'll give you the first few minutes. Meta says it will soon start blocking
00:43:42.240Canadians from news content on Facebook and Instagram. It's in response to Bill C-18 which
00:43:47.460was recently passed. It forces tech giants to pay media companies for the content they link to.
00:43:52.920Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez told the CBC's Rosemary Barton that Canada is not the Wild West
00:43:58.440and that tech giants need to pay their fair share to support Canadian journalism. These people can
00:44:03.780come here and do whatever they want. That doesn't work like that in Canada, not in a democracy and
00:44:07.680And I cannot accept that a company like Meta comes here
00:44:10.620and threatens us and threatens a sovereign country.
00:44:56.320It's just not possible the way the bill is drafted, unfortunately.
00:45:00.300We've had really constructive discussions with heritage officials.
00:45:03.060We've had really good discussions with the minister's office.
00:45:06.560But the way the bill is drafted doesn't allow for negotiations outside the framework of the legislation.
00:45:12.780So there are no negotiations currently.
00:45:15.520We are proceeding towards ending the availability of news permanently in Canada.
00:45:21.640We wish we weren't here, but we are here.
00:45:24.240And there is really nothing at this point that's going to alter that trajectory.
00:45:28.440What makes negotiations so impossible?
00:45:30.220Because I know the bill has received royal assent, but the government talks about this regulatory phase that could take until the end of the year where they determine how exactly it applies.
00:45:37.860Why can't you find a solution in there?
00:45:39.200So, David, what's done by legislation cannot be undone by regulation.
00:45:44.640That's the saying, if you're a student of political science or law, you'll know that very well.
00:45:50.660So the regulation-making process can't alter the fundamental premise or the sort of underlying structure of the bill.
00:45:57.780And so there's nothing at this point that can address our fundamental concerns with the bill, which is that it requires us to compensate news publishers for placing material on our platforms voluntarily because they get a tremendous amount of free marketing and distribution value from that.
00:46:15.720So Minister Rodriguez says that this is a bully tactic by a big tech corporation with lots of money. They point to the fact that you do this already in countries like Australia, where you've cut deals, where you pay. What makes this so different?
00:46:27.780So let me just say, in Australia, we are actually not designated under the legislation.
00:46:34.120And the Australian bill is quite different.
00:46:36.300It allows for negotiation of private deals outside the framework of the legislation.
00:46:41.320Now, we chose to do that in that particular context, when the government was able to offer us some assurance about the amount of our liability, the scope of what we would be liable for under that bill.
00:46:55.000And so we have not yet been designated under the Australian legislation.
00:46:59.060We signed a series of private deals in Australia that prevented us from being designated.
00:47:04.360Now, we've done the same thing here in Canada.
00:47:06.300All right, so that's much I'm going to give you guys.
00:47:08.700It goes on and on for another six minutes.
00:47:10.440Basically, you know, we're going around in circles.
00:47:13.020But the bottom line is Rachel Curran, who is the head of Meta Policy in Canada,
00:47:19.300former employee, a lawyer, first of all,
00:47:21.040and former employee of the Conservative Party of Canada, by the way,
00:47:24.040just so you know her background a little bit um she says they're going to end news permanently
00:47:31.720on facebook and instagram the two most popular social media platforms within the twitterverse
00:47:39.960sorry the metaverse now this apparently c18 has not affected twitter or rumble yet but it will
00:47:50.160affect google and youtube meaning that google and youtube will be pulling news from their
00:47:56.640platforms as well remember youtube is owned by google so when you go to google any kind of news
00:48:06.900you won't get anything because google is going to be doing the same thing facebook and instagram
00:48:13.580are going to be doing. So they can filter out news in Canada. Guys, this is where you need to
00:48:22.220get yourself a VPN. And the reason I say that is because with a VPN, you can fool the internet
00:48:31.660into believing you're not where you are. Remember, this is going to blanket Canadian
00:48:38.060internet users and canadian internet providers your isp or sorry your ip address is key
00:48:47.060to showing the internet where you are with a vpn you can trick the internet into believing you're
00:48:55.440elsewhere you're in panama or you're in columbia or iceland or some place that's not affected by
00:49:02.200this band get yourself a vpn a s a p they're not that expensive it's not like a piece of hardware
00:49:10.140you can actually get them on an app which you put on your computer and you think to yourself how do
00:49:16.200i put an app on my computer well you're doing it if you're using google chrome right now you're
00:49:21.520using several different apps you probably don't even realize you are it will install software
00:49:27.980only on your computer it's like five to ten dollars a month but it's well worth it if you
00:49:33.260want to be able to see the content that you've been watching for your entire life online but
00:49:38.500now the government says all of a sudden because we're a democracy you can't have that now
00:49:42.660the liberal government needs to go somebody messaged me today trudeau's got to go trudeau
00:49:49.780trudeau must go trudeau trudeau trudeau trudeau trudeau well like the conversation i was having
00:49:53.940with jeff evely of veterans for freedom last night it's not true though man i mean he's part
00:49:58.700of the problem obviously but all of the liberals are the problem all of the political elite are
00:50:05.200the problem the political elites need to go and it's not just the political the politicians it's
00:50:13.240the bureaucrats all those top level bureaucrats have been existing in that ottawa polyverse for
00:50:19.040the past 30 years they all need to be fired and replaced with common sense canadians who can add0.52
00:50:27.260two plus freaking two plus the only way we can move forward as a country is to outlaw lobby
00:50:34.560groups no more lobbying ever the government does not need to listen to special interest groups
00:50:42.540banging on their door no matter how much money changes hands no more corporate loans no more
00:50:48.380crapola the mps go home they listen to their people they hold open houses they hold town
00:50:54.880hall meetings and they should be legislated to do that at least twice a year at least twice a year
00:51:02.840so they can get the feel of their riding and they take those sentiments back to ottawa or
00:51:08.460and the capital city should be moved somewhere else as well calgary anybody
00:51:14.280and then every 10 years after it should be moved so they can't establish that awful political
00:51:21.260universe in any one city for any length of time i don't care where they put it it doesn't need0.62
00:51:27.400to have a special building like the house whatever put them in a freaking elementary school gym i
00:51:34.460don't care we don't need all this pomp and circumstance the prime minister does not need0.52
