WATCH & SHARE: Plandemic 3 – The Great Awakening | Plus List of Key Quotes

In this third and vitally important installment of the ‘Plandemic’ series, acclaimed filmmaker Mikki Willis delves into the psychological and ideological roots of the skulduggery that has been unmistakable since March 2020 and in the works for many decades. Willis investigates the chief decision-makers behind the tyrannical pandemic policies, unveiling an intricate web of power and influence.

A central figure in this film is American author and broadcaster, G. Edward Griffin, an unwavering sentinel who has dedicated his career to warning America of the threats to our Constitutional Republic by fanatical collectivist ideologues. The documentary brilliantly captures Griffin’s foresight by incorporating footage from a lecture he gave in 1969, an incredibly prophetic message describing a future that aligns disturbingly well with today’s realities.

The film spotlights villainous figures such as Klaus Schwab and his followers at the World Economic Forum (WEF), to whom Schwab proudly proclaimed: “The future is built by us!” Shockingly, it’s a dystopian future that they want, as evidenced by what the WEF’s chief science advisor, Yuval Noah Harari, insanely declared:

“Today we have the technology to hack human beings on a massive scale. And by this I mean that if you have enough data and you have enough computing power, you can understand people better than they understand themselves and then you can manipulate them in ways which were previously impossible. You know, the whole idea that humans have this soul or spirit and they have free will – THAT’S OVER! Now how exactly will the future masters of the planet look like? This will be decided by the people who own the data.”

The film shows how Schwab and his minions view China as their shining example of what they want to impose on the rest of the world. A handful of individuals who left China for America, poignantly share their nightmarish experiences and why they are so grateful to now reside in the U.S. and live the American dream. Then last thing the want is to see the U.S. and the rest of the world become like China, while being ruled by a tyrannical, one-world regime.

‘The Great Awakening’ emphasizes the pivotal role of the U.S. Constitution as the most successful model of limited government, serving for the past 230 years as a beacon of hope for the world and a significant impediment to global aspirations of power.

‘The Great Awakening’ concludes with ways that we can stop the totalitarian takeover of the planet, and invites each of us to get involved. Perhaps the most straightforward and optimal advice came from the late Dr. Zev Zelenko, who said:

“Just say no. Rise up in a nonviolent way. They can’t imprison everyone. They can’t fire everyone. But they can fire individuals that are separated and don’t work together and give in to the fear.”

Mikki Willis and his team have painstakingly crafted this documentary, making it free and easily accessible to anyone with an internet connection. The film is a compelling and must-see viewing for those who seek to understand the genesis and complexities of our current global situation.

Please share this documentary widely.

Key Quotes from the Film

[00:06:00] G. EDWARD GRIFFIN (from his 1969 lecture):

We’re going to examine, in quite a bit of detail, the communist theory and practice of revolution, particularly as applied to the United States. Now this will not be something dreamed up out of thin air. This will be the strategy as taught by them and advocated by them in their own manuals, in their textbooks, and in their schools.

The new program of the Communist Party on this subject has this to say: the term socialism describes but the first stage of a new society that in its full development is called communism. Socialism is a transitional stage.

[00:09:09] Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau’s Response to the Trucker Strike

Trudeau: The federal government has invoked the emergencies act.

Trudeau spokeswoman: As of today, the bank or other financial service provider will be able to immediately freeze or suspend an account (of a protestor) without a court order

Another official: If you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges.

Trudeau: Protests, public protests are an important part of making sure we’re getting messages out there. But using protests to demand changes to public policy is something that I think is worrisome.

[00:11:51] Trudeau Admires China the Most of All the Countries in the World

Trudeau was asked which country he most admired and referred to China:

“The level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them…

Joe Biden also applauds China: I applaud China for stepping up. Escuse me, I applaud Canada. You can tell what I’m thinking.

[00:12:55] Many World Leaders parrot the same message: the pandemic crisis offers a great opportunity

Trudeau: This pandemic has provided an opportunity

Biden: Here we are right now with an economic crisis but with an incredible opportunity.

Netherlands Prime Minister, Mark Rutte: Certainly a major crisis but it also offers a unique opportunity

Prince Charles: Unprecedented opportunity to rethink and reset

IMF Official: A great opportunity for reset

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern: An opportunity for a reset.

Mikki: It’s almost as if they all attended the same school of thought and studied under the same professor.

[00:13:47] Klaus Schwab and World Economic Forum (WEF) Is Introduced

Klaus Schwab: Some people would say this revolution is characterized by the fight of robots against human beings and we will win this fight.

[00:16:10] Klaus Schwab to WEF attendees:

The future is built by us.

[00:16:53] Klaus Schwab:

Nobody will be safe if not everybody is vaccinated.

[00:17:37] In 2014 Klaus Schwab calls for a great reset: “We need a great reset.”

Mikki Willis: In 2014 Klaus Schwab called for the great reset, which he positioned as the solution to the world’s most urgent issues.

[00:18:05] David E. Martin:

When they say you’ll be happy, what they mean is you’ll be enslaved. That’s why they’re talking about a great reset.

[00:19:10] Mikki Willis:

Like most globalists, Schwab regards communist China as a shining model of how he intends to transform the world.

[00:19:55] Klaus Schwab calls China a model country, but you have to take it a step further

Schwab: I think China’s a whole model for many countries, but you have to go one step further: it’s a systemic transformation of the world. Artificial intelligence, the metaverse, synthetic biology. Our life in 10 years from now we’ll be completely different and who masters those technologies will be the masters of the world.

[00:20:36] Yuval Noah Harari (WEF’s scientific advisor):

Science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design. Not the intelligent design of some God above the clouds, but our intelligent design and the intelligent design of our clouds: the IBM cloud, the Microsoft cloud. These are the new driving forces of evolution. Today we have the technology to hack human beings on a massive scale. And by this, I mean that if you have enough data and you have enough computing power, you can understand people better than they understand themselves and then you can manipulate them in ways which were previously impossible. You know the whole idea that humans have this soul or spirit and they have free will – THAT’S OVER! Now how exactly will the future masters of the planet look like? This will be decided by the people who own the data.

[00:22:15] Yuval Noah Harrari:

Data is the most important asset in the world. Those who control the data, control the future not just of humanity but the future of life itself.

[00:22:28] Social Credit System in China

Newscaster: Everywhere she goes oh young how you is followed what she buys how she behaves is tracked and scored to show how responsible and trustworthy she is. It’s called the social credit system. A person’s reputation is scored on a scale of 3:50 to 9:50. It’s big data meets Big Brother – expanding how the government monitors, understands and ultimately controls its 1.4 billion citizens. A good score brings benefits, but people with low scores lose rights.

[00:24:45] Mikki Willis: How does a handful of autocrats gain total control over a population of 1.4 billion?

[00:24:55] Prof. Mattias Desmet (author: The Psychology of Totalitarianism):

I have two Master’s Degrees – one in clinical psychology, and one in statistics. And at the beginning of the crisis, I started to study the statistics a little bit. The initial mathematical models and the initial statistics all had dramatically overrated the dangerousness of the virus. That was the moment when I started to think how it was possible – that an entire society and an entire population was in the grip of a narrative which in many respects was blatantly wrong. After a few months, it became clear to me that the only mechanism that could explain what was happening in society was what is usually referred to as mass formation.

Mass formation is identical to hypnosis and this term refers to a specific kind of group formation which has very special characteristic effects at the level of individual mental functioning. One of these effects is that an individual who is in the grip of mass formation typically lose every capacity to take a critical distance from what they believe in, from what the group believes in.

[00:26:10] Mikki Willis: You would think it would be people with lower IQ that would be more susceptible to this. But it seems to be the other way around. Are you seeing this?

[00:26:19] Mark McDonald M.D. (author, The United States of Fear):

I have seen this and it does seem to be predicted by educational status and IQ… People who are highly intelligent tend to go and get a lot of degrees. Those people have spent so many years in institutions to get those degrees that they have developed a trust and confidence in not only the educational institutions but those that support them, which are largely government bodies. And so they start from the place of if it’s told by the university, by the government, it’s probably going to be true… So I think that there’s a disconnect between people who are smart and have lots of degrees with actual reality, with the lived experience of nature, of life – that you don’t see with people who are actually working with their hands outdoors all of the time.

[00:28:11] Dr. Zev Zelenko:

The real pandemic here is the psychological warfare that’s being waged on every single human being. See, if you take the human being and you put them in a chronic fear state, you couple that with human isolation, what happens is they psychologically decompensate and live in such emotional pain that they will gravitate in an irrational way to anything that you promise them will alleviate that pain.

[00:28:40] Prof. Mattias Desmet:

Once people feel disconnected from their environment they will typically start to experience a lack of meaning making in life. And under these conditions, if a narrative is distributed through the mass media indicating an object of anxiety and a strategy to deal with this object of anxiety, they suddenly connect to one small object of fear (for instance the coronavirus) and afterward people don’t feel lonely anymore. They feel connected again…

A new kind of social bond is highly problematic just because the connections between the individuals even deteriorate more and the bond between the individual and collective becomes stronger and stronger and stronger, which make them willing to sacrifice everything for the collective – its health its wealth the future of its children everything.

Something else that is a characteristic of individuals in mass formation is that they become radically intolerant of dissonant voices.

[00:30:35] Prof. Mattias Desmet:

People who do not go along with the masses are stigmatized. And in the end the masses are inclined to destroy the people who do not go along with them. And they do so as if it is an ethical duty to do so.

[00:30:50] JP Sears:

Getting good people to do bad things, harmful things, while thinking they’re good things is a dangerous place to be – because it looks great, you feel great, while you’re being used.

[00:31:05] Dr. Robert Malone:

They will sacrifice themselves and they see it as a virtue because it demonstrates their complete obedience to the cult, to the group, to perform ritualistic behavior which causes them harm.

[00:33:48] Mark McDonald M.D:

China shaved the heads of women, put them all in unattractive, asexual clothes, and did the same thing for the men. This technique has been used in the 20th century by every totalitarian regime.

[00:34:00] Lily Tang Williams (who left China for the U.S.):

Mao wanted to create a genderless society. That’s why girls like me cannot wear beautiful clothes and cannot do makeup. We have to just look like boys: unisex, no gender.

[00:34:10] Mark McDonald M.D:

They asexualize the population so that there’s no more desire, no more bipolarity of male and female. Everybody looks like an automaton. And then what do they do? Rather than turning towards one another, they turn towards the state.

[00:36:17] News report

The US Defense Department says as many as three million [Chinese] are being forcibly detained in reeducation and forced labor camps.

[00:36:26] BBC News

China calls them thought transformation camps built to prevent extremism from spreading but reports indicate they’re more like prisons.

[00:36:26] Crystal Chen (who left China for the U.S.):

When I was detained in the detention center I was handcuffed and hung over a radiator pipe with my toes barely touching the ground and I was hung over there for three days. The CCP guards brought 4 male detainees into my cell and began one of the worst experiences of torture. I was on the brink of death, so I realized I could do nothing but turn to my belief. So I pray to be saved. Moments later, one of the four male detainees suddenly fainted on the floor which interrupted the torture.

[00:37:40] Minghui Wang (who left China for the U.S.):

I left China because my parents were heavily persecuted for their practice of Falun Gong. From age 1 to age 5 my grandparents were taking care of me because my parents were always inside some dark cells being tortured. My first clear memory of my mother I was brought to a brainwashing center and saw her being tied up to a chair with people behind her guarding her and she had a very thick plastic tube inserted into her nose and she was being forced fed at the time. She just looked like she was in so much pain and I was five at the time. That was it’s just very traumatizing. My school principal actually came to me several times and told me not to be a part of my parents and to report any activity that my parents would do. They’re installing all the lies and hatred into the younger generation.

[00:40:11]Bill Maher:

Yesterday I asked ChatGPT if there are any similarities between today’s woke revolution and Chairman Mao’s cultural revolution of the 1960s and it wrote back: how long do you have?

[00:40:30] G. Edward Griffin:

We recognize that government is absolutely necessary for an orderly society. But following the dictum that government like fire is both beneficial and dangerous, we believe in the concept of limited government. And we believe that the constitutional Republic created by our founding fathers is the best form of limited government that has yet been devised by man. A Republic is a limited democracy. It’s a form of government based upon the principle of limited majority rule, limited so that the minority even a minority of on can be protected against the whims and passions of the majority. Now, democracy is a form of government based upon the principle of majority rule. It’s easy to understand, easy to sell to the masses, and I might add deadly.

[00:42:25] Tricia Lindsay (civil rights attorney):

We have unalienable rights just by virtue of being human. And so their primary responsibility as the government is to protect those rights.

[00:42:58] G. Edward Griffin:

And how do you protect the minority from the majority? You write down a set of rules on a piece of paper. You say: this we can do, that we cannot. At the top of the paper you write the word constitution and then everyone agrees to follow the rules no matter what the temptation. And when you’re finished you’ve created a constitutional Republic.

[00:43:20] Mikki Willis:

It was Thomas Jefferson who said: “The Republic is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.”

[00:43:32] G. Edward Griffin:

Now we hear a lot of talk today about right-wingers, left-wingers, extremists, and moderates. The political spectrum concept, if it has any meaning at all, is a measurement scale showing all the variations in government. Now the extremists at the zero end would be those who advocate no government at all: the anarchists. The extremists at the other end would be those who advocate total government and who are they? Well, the communists of course, but also the Nazis, the fascists. No matter what they may call themselves, if they advocate total government control over the people they are all, by definition, totalitarians.

The debate is not between conservatives and liberals. It goes back in history long before those words were ever invented. The opposing points of view properly are identified as individualism versus collectivism. The individuals believe that the rights of the individual must not be obliterated by the desires of the collective or the group.

The collectivist, on the other hand, believes that the group is more important than the single person within it and that the individual must be sacrificed if necessary for the greater good of the greater number.

The individualists believe that every man has a personal and direct responsibility to provide first for himself, next for his family, and then for those outside his family who may be in need. The collectivist on the other hand declares that the individual is not personally responsible for charity or raising his own children, providing for his aging parents, or even providing for himself for that matter. This is a group function of the state, of government itself.

[00:45:35] Mikki Willis:

Collectivism on an international level is essentially known as globalism, which is often promoted as a framework for unity and sustainability. Under the guise of philanthropy, the leaders of the globalist movement leverage every possible crisis to advance their plan to replace national sovereignty with a one-world government.

[00:46:05] Mikk Willis:

It is the globalists who are behind the destructive new methods of control like ESG the acronym for environmental social governance. Similar to China’s social credit score, ESG is a ranking system that tracks a company or country’s carbon footprint as well as its commitment to diversity and inclusion. A low ESG score can lead to severe consequences including reputational damage, legal and regulatory actions and loss of investors and bank credit lines. Within the last decade numerous nations and thousands of major brands have been coerced to adapt to the ESG program and today many of them are paying the price. In 2018 the World Economic Forum published an article on its website entitled “How we will make Sri Lanka rich by 2025.” That article was removed once it became known that food prices in Sri Lanka had nearly doubled and that millions of their citizens were facing starvation.

[00:47:10] Kim Iversen:

Now what caused this? Farmers protested and asked the government to work with them on slowly improving farming practices to be more environmentally friendly rather than implementing harsh bans. But the government was more interested in maintaining a high ESG score with its creditors like BlackRock. As a result food production dropped drastically with farmers expecting crop losses of 85%. The country had to begin spending money on importing food when it was previously self-sufficient. Sri Lanka is a cautionary tale. What’s happening there could be a foreshadowing of what’s in store for us if we don’t take heed and learn some lessons.

[00:47:45] Mikki Willis:

The Dutch government was one of the first to sign on to the ESG system. Dutch farmers pleaded that the rush to adapt to extreme new regulations would result in the destruction of the country’s food supply. The Netherlands is the second largest agriculture exporter in the world earning the title of the tiny country that feeds the world. A collapse of their system could flicker a global food crisis. Yet the Netherlands’ Prime Minister continued to persecute Dutch farmers until they were forced to revolt.

[00:48:22] Klaus Schwab:

Where do you find still such a Prime Minister in the world? You find it in the Netherlands and it’s Mark Rutte.

[00:48:32] Josh Phillips, Crossroads:

And remember too the Netherlands is the pilot program of the World Food hubs and the World Economic Forum has assigned to the Netherlands what they call this global secretariat – using, ironically, a communist term for it.

[00:48:45] SkyNews in Australia:

Klaus Schwab’s golden pinup boy, Prime Minister Mark Rutte, is busy fulfilling the agenda from the World Economic Forum’s great reset by turfing farmers off their own land.

[00:48:58] Mark Rutte, Netherlands Prime Minister: Perhaps the most important lesson I’ve learned in my years as Prime Minister in one of the world’s most outward-looking trading countries is that national interests are often best served by international corporations.

[00:49:50] The Kwak Brothers:

If you think about what created wealthy people wealthy throughout the many years of our human history that’s the ownership of land and you have governments right now they’re looking to take ownership of real estate. And it’s happening everywhere and you have this movement of individuals kind of going like hey like people should never profit off of real estate. And unfortunately if that ideology is what the government is using to take control. If we look at data from 2001 to 2015, there is a slow and steady the trend towards more corporations owning single family homes apartments office spaces and less and less individuals actually owning real estate. The Backstone group actually recently raised a record of $50 billion to take homes from American families.

[00:50:30] Mikki Willis: During the pandemic, when all people were ordered to lock down indoors, why did governments around the world make exceptions for mass protests. We’ve all heard the term fire sale. In this case it’s not a metaphor. When the community is damaged by protests the value of local properties upon it investors then gobble up the devalued real estate for pennies on the dollar in many cases the leaders of the decimated communities receive kickbacks for allowing this transfer of wealth.

[00:51:50] Mikki Willis:

In his communist manifesto, Karl Marx wrote the theory of communism may be summed up in a single sentence: “Abolition of private property.”

[00:53:00] G. Edward Griffin:

In 1943 the following directive was issued from the party headquarters to all communists in the United States. It read, “When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them as Fascist or Nazi or Anti-Semitic. In the public mind, constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell. The association will, after enough repetition, become fact in the public mind.”

[00:53:55] ???

Name-calling is their number one bullying tactic and they apply it unremittingly to anyone who questions their dogma or says something they find unacceptable or offensive.

[00:54:07] G. Edward Griffin:

As early as 1928 the communists declared that the racial differences among our people constituted the weakest and most vulnerable point in our social fabric. By constantly probing and straining at this one spot, they calculated that eventually the cloth could be torn apart and that Americans could be divided weakened, and perhaps even set against each other in open combat. they said in no unmistakable terms that the negro people because of their social status and their predominant working class composition, offered greater revolutionary possibilities than any other cross-section of the population.

[00:54:51] G. Edward Griffin:

The communists call not only for extensive chaos within the cities, but the plan is also for raging fires from one city to the next. The average American may say, soft and decadent, when he sees billows of black smoke rising from one horizon to the other at night, the only light he has to see by is the flickering red from flames leaping into the sky, he’ll become paralyzed with fear and panic and do nothing to interfere with the guerrilla bands as they strike at the community’s power centers. To justify violence they have to be able to claim that they’re liberating people and if people are to be liberated then it’s necessary to go through the motions at least of pretending that they have a right to form a nation of their own. The Communist Party called for their liberation to break away from the United States and to set up their own nation within our borders.

[00:56:03] G. Edward Griffin:

To take the United States, all of the United States, it’ll be necessary they say to involve white people as well as black. And in general to escalate their revolution in America from race war to class war.

Now when they talk about pressure from above, they mean using their people and their influence within the very government marked for takeover – to bring forward official recommendations for legislation. The recommendations of course are offered supposedly as solutions to national problems but when passed into law they’re only the real effect is to vastly increase the power of government and to move the country that much closer toward the ultimate goal.

The pressure from below then involves using their influence over the various mass membership organizations of the country to create the appearance of great popular support for these recommendations. Of course, the members of those organizations must never suspect that they’re being used to promote the communist program.

Now the silent majority, the average person, is caught right in the middle. He looks above and sees a highly respected spokesman for the government calling for socialist legislation. He looks below and sees mobs of demonstrators shouting for the same thing. He says to himself, has everyone gone crazy or is it me? Now he’s still in the majority of course, but he doesn’t know it. He thinks he’s helplessly outnumbered and he bows to what he thinks is the democratic will of the majority.

[00:58:22] G. Edward Griffin:

We mustn’t kid ourselves into thinking that the communists have placed their agitators only into the black communities. They’re working both sides of the street. They want hatred, violence and bloodshed between the races and they don’t care how they get it or whom they use – even children if necessary.

[00:59:05] G. Edward Griffin:

You may have wondered why the Communist Party has been a staunch supporter of the drive to place a black studies curriculum into our high schools and colleges. The reason becomes obvious the minute you take a look at the textbooks and the study guides.

[00:59:21] Asra Nomani (Virginia parent against critical race theory being taught in schools):

Schools are now radicalizing our kids. I mean this is the volume of the book from critical race theory and it literally says here whiteness is a bad deal and it has a symbol of Satan.

[00:59:45] Ajua Mason (member of Texas Board of Education):

Not only is it in the schools but it’s in the workplace. It’s throughout society and is destroying this country.

[00:59:51] Black woman at school board mtg:

If this continues, we will look back and be responsible for the dismantling of the greatest country in the world by reverting to teaching hate and that race is a determining factor on where your destiny lies.

[01:00:26] RT News:

Education authorities in the United States are asking the government to use anti-terror laws and involve the FBI against parents who protest against the way their children are being taught.

[01:00:38] Congressman Hawley:

It identifies no fewer than 13 possible federal crimes including making annoying phone calls. How about this one: they could be prosecuted for using the Internet in a way that might cause emotional distress.

[01:00:38] Tucker Carlson:

Over the weekend Democrats voted to ban gendered language in house rules. That means no more terms like father or mother.

[01:01:01] Congressman Jason Smith, ranking member:

Is the administration’s official policy to replace the term woman with birthing people?

[01:01:13] Senator James Lankford:

You shifted from, in places, from using the term mother to birthing people.

[01:01:18] Honorable ???:

Again, we’re trying to be precise in the language that’s used

[01:01:18] Senator James Lankford:

Mom’s a pretty good word.

[01:01:23] Woman on TicTok:

I’m not a birth person, I’m a mother.

[01:01:26] Question to Supreme Court Nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson:

Can you provide a definition for the word woman?

[01:01:31] Ketanji Brown Jackson:

Can I provide a definition? I can’t.

Q. You can’t?

[01:01:38] Ketanji Brown Jackson:

Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.

Q. Is the word woman so unclear and controversial that you can’t give me a definition?

[01:01:47] Question to Aimee Arrambide, a pro-abortion activist:

Do you believe that men can become pregnant and have abortions?

[01:01:47] Aimee Arrambide:

Yes.

[01:01:54] Woman on TicTok:

Literally, everything that was fought for women’s rights is going straight down the drain.

[01:02:00] Rizza Islam:

This environment that has been created and corrupted and manipulated does not respect women, does not respect children, does not respect men. It cares nothing for families. So that’s why they have to attack mother and remove father, because she’s going to protect that child, he’s going to protect that woman, and they both are going to protect society.

[01:02:20] Brian Echevarria (Parent):

When you talk about a parent-child relationship you’re talking about something primal, that is in the heart of the liberal, not the Marxists, that’s in the heart of the person who’s conservative, and they’re pushing the boundaries on something that they cannot control.

[01:02:43] TV News:

Washington state is on track to lawfully take transgender support children away from parents who oppose transitioning treatment.

[01:02:52] Tricia Lindsay:

That is against the Constitution. The only time a parent loses their rights is if there’s an extreme circumstance.

[01:02:57] Vanesssa (aka “Gothix”):

It’s severing the bond between the parent and the child.

[01:03:00] Tricia Lindsay:

What they’re doing is they’re dividing families to take control of the children.

[01:03:04] Vanesssa (aka “Gothix”)

The biggest defense against communism is the nuclear family.

[01:03:09] Mikki Willis:

In chapter two of his Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx wrote: “Abolition of the family! .. The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course.”

[01:03:09] Public comment by a black gentleman:

We’re here today to represent the millions of Black Americans who disagree with the black lives matter movement. If you go to the Black Lives Matter website it says that: “We disrupt the nuclear family.” That’s my wife. This is our four children. Why would you disrupt the nuclear family?

[01:03:40] G, Edward Griffin:

Because the real objective is to remove the family as a possible alternate source of guidance and support. All totalitarian regimes strive to destroy the close-knit family in order to remove any loyalties that might be higher than to the state itself.

[01:03:55] Mark McDonald M.D.:

What I have seen over the years in my practice is a steady decline in the expression of healthy masculinity and healthy femininity. The separation between the male and the female is almost complete now, and it’s due specifically to the ongoing attacks against masculinity and the degradation of femininity. And if our family structure is lost in the next generation, what do we have left? We’re just a bunch of listless individuals living our lives out, virtually behind a computer screen and following the orders of the government.

[01:04:29] Patrisse Cullors (co-founder, Black Lives Matter)

I came in the movement at 17 ½, so I have like just a knack for knowing how to organize young people. I was at our publications table today and I was speaking to this young person. And he grabbed the book and he said: “This is like Mao’s Red Book.” And I was like man that’s what I was thinking. And it was just really cool to hear him make that connection. Like, how about you buy like 10 to 15 of these books and you all have like a youth organizing group where you talk about it, and you really try to engage this. We need to build off of this.

We actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia [Garza], in particular, we are trained Marxists.

[01:05:13] Alicia Garza (co-founder, Black Lives Matter)

I do believe in Marxism. It’s a philosophy I learned early on in my organizing career.

[01:05:17] Rebel News:

Investigations into the black lives matter organization has revealed links to groups that are pro-communist China. The self-proclaimed Marxist Black Lives Matter co-founder, Alicia Garza, also owns the Black Futures Lab project. Yet all would be lost for the black future lab if not for the Chinese Progressive Association. Donations to the Black Futures Lab don’t go directly to the foundation itself. The Chinese Progressive Association gets them instead.

[01:05:44] Mikki Willis:

Through forensic investigations, we now know that the 2020 BLM fiery, but mostly peaceful protests, were organized and partially funded through a network of pro-communist organizations. One of the groups is the US-based Liberation Road, which was founded by a faction of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Liberation Road is allied with the new communist movement and has direct ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The San Francisco, based communist rooted, Chinese Progressive Association formed a sister company called Asians For Black Lives to serve as a bridge between BLM and the Chinese Communist Party.

[01:06:27] Joe Biden:

I spent a lot of time with President Xi. He’s deadly earnest about becoming the most significant, consequential nation in the world.

[01:06:48] Mikki Willis:

When we speak of China it’s important to distinguish between the people and their oppressive government. And while the Communist Party of China is undoubtedly America’s greatest foreign adversary, it’s crucial to recognize that the most urgent threat to the future of the United States resides within its own borders.

[01:07:09] G. Edward Griffin:

We’re so used to thinking in terms of the old-fashioned concepts of warfare, we’ve failed to realize that the favorite weapons of communist conquest are instead propaganda. 

[01:07:17] Rand Paul:

Do you know who the greatest propagator of disinformation in the history of the world is? The U.S. government.

[01:07:23] G. Edward Griffin:

A slanted view of history.

[01:07:26]

Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of ‘The 1619 Project’:

History has been written to tell us this certain story. The 1619 project is trying to reframe that story.

[01:07:31] Black gentleman:

What these people are doing is subverting young black minds to think that Revolutionary War was fought in order to preserve slavery. And it’s based on something that simply isn’t true.

[01:07:39] G. Edward Griffin: The tactics of internal subversion

[01:07:39] Young woman:

I thought that America was racist. I thought it was patriarchal. I thought our capitalist society was just a means of exploiting people. And I thought all these things because that is what I was told.

[01:07:55] G. Edward Griffin:

The preaching of hatred to incite civil disorder.

[01:07:59] Chuck Schumer:

I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released a whirlwind and you will pay the price.

[01:08:06] CBS News:

A California man is facing federal charges for the attempted murder of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

[01:08:12] G. Edward Griffin:

Treason, blackmail, the smear

[01:08:15] Vice News:

This is the first time Assange is being questioned over the rape allegations.

[01:08:20] ??? TV News

The LA Times ran an article calling Larry Elder a black, white supremacist.

[01:08:24] G. Edward Griffin:

All committed by soldiers who wear no uniform and who claim to be loyal citizens of the target country marked for conquest from within.

[01:08:33] G. Edward Griffin:

World War III that rages around us right now is a political war, an economic war, a psychological war, a spiritual war. As a matter of fact, the bomb, as a psychological weapon, is being dropped on the American people every single day.

[01:08:52] News Montage:

You probably assume you’re safe. That could be a deadly mistake.

Bracing for food shortages, labor shortages, shipping delays, supply chain disruption, a new coronavirus variant, ultra transmissible… It could kill you.

Surging crime, acts of terrorism, domestic terrorism, mass shootings…

Nuclear conflict, World War III, Vladimir Putin, Russia…

Environmental doom, fires, storms, deadly floods.

Greta Thunberg: I don’t want you to be hopeful.

Joe Biden: Science tells us we have nine years

This storm will kill you

Greta Thunberg: I want you to panic.

It is promoting fear.

It will kill your children. It will kill your pets… unless you get lucky.

The world is a very terrifying place.

Greta Thunberg: I want you to feel the fear that I do every day.

[01:09:38] Mikki Willis:

Walk me through, if you would, what happens scientifically inside our minds when we’re in a state of fear. And then how that affects our external choices and the direction of our lives.

[01:09:51] Mark McDonald M.D:

This is well known and well researched in the psychological literature and the psychiatric literature – that when someone is afraid, when someone is in a state of fear, that person cannot think rationally. You resort back to a more primitive way of making decisions, which is highly emotionally driven. And when you’re placed in a chronic state of fear, as we have been, you end up in what I would call a traumatized state – meaning that you’re not just momentarily scared, you are frozen. You have seen your ability to think critically suspended.

[01:10:22] David E. Martin:

The issue is not about COVID or vaccines or anything else. It’s not that. That is the polarizing impulse that gives rise to our general sense of ill-at-ease, which then amplifies our willingness to fall for reflexive classifications like race, or, you know, the isms that we want to fight about. The more we can distract people by creating the illusion that says everything is fearful, the more we can manipulate the population.

[01:10:55] Mark McDonald M.D.:

We were groomed for decades to be fearful, whether it was drop and cover (we must be ready all the time if the atomic bomb explodes) to protect against the threat of nuclear annihilation. Or more recently, the impending ecological collapse of our planet in 12 years that AOC and Greta Thunberg keep warning us about.

AOC: the world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.

Greta Thunberg: How dare you?

[01:11:18] Mark McDonald M.D.:

All of these fears are grounded to some degree in reality. They’re not completely invented, but they are exaggerated so greatly that we cannot actually reason through them anymore.

[01:11:32] Zuby:

When people are afraid they won’t just accept authoritarianism, they’ll demand it. They will demand it. Somebody do something. Somebody take charge and tell me what to do – like where do I stand, where do I walk, what do we do, what are the rules. And again people in power always use that right? They say never let a good crisis go to waste. We can take this and we can now enact policies that normally we wouldn’t be able to get away.

[01:11:55] Yuval Noah Harari:

Maybe in a couple of decades when people look back, the thing they will remember from the COVID crisis: this was the moment that we agreed to be surveyed all the time.

[01:12:20] Prof. Mattias Desmet:

The leaders of the people who pronounce the narrative in public space usually are hypnotized themselves. They believe they need to reshape society to be able to deal with the challenges society faces. And they believe so fanatically and that ideology that they think it’s justified to manipulate and cheat and to use all kinds of narratives to convince people to go along with that ideology.

[01:12:43] News montage: Freedoms taken from the Unvaxxed

Andrew Cuomo (N.Y. governor): We’re going to go visit mom. I’m going to bring the whole family to see mom. No!

Lori Lightfoot (Chicago Mayor): We will shut you down. We will cite you and if we need to we will arrest you. And we will take you to jail.

Jacinda Ardern (New Zealand Prime Minister): You either get your test done and make sure you’re cleared or we will keep you in a facility longer.

Tony Blair (British Prime Minister): It’s gonna be very hard for people to do a lot of normal life unless they can prove their vaccination status.

Anthony Fauci: Such as you’re not going to work in this particular agency or institution. You’re not going to be able to go to this College of this university. Once we start doing that, you will see more and more people willingly get vaccinated.

[01:13:24] Mikki Willis

If the fear of losing your job, your friends, your family, and your future isn’t enough to coerce you into submission, perhaps these incentives will entice you to willingly comply…

[01:15:42] Carl Jung Quote

“The State takes the place of God… the socialist dictatorships are religion and State slavery is a form of worship.” ~ Carl Jung (1961)

[01:16:05] G. Edward Griffin:

There was a time, and not too long ago I think, when we could have pulled ourselves out of this without too great a sacrifice on the part of anyone. But we didn’t. Instead, we slept. Everywhere I look, I see men and women who know that communists are making headway in this country. They know that something must be done and that someone must stand up to them. But they themselves do nothing. They remain silent because they’re afraid that if they speak out, it’ll be bad for business. They may lose a client. They may even lose their jobs. Or perhaps they’re receiving a regular government check and already are too dependent upon some of the very people and programs they know they should oppose.

We have now passed the point of painless solutions and parlor patriotism. Well, all right, so what do we do about it? What are the countermeasures that need to be taken and where do we begin? Before we finally win this battle, and I should hasten to say that there’s no doubt in my mind that we’re going to win, I’m increasingly convinced of this.

But before we finally do see victory, we must carry the truth to every man, woman, and child in America. I have no idea what each of you is going to do in the critical days that lie ahead. It may be much, it may be little, it may be nothing at all. I don’t know – only you can answer that question. But ladies and gentlemen, whatever it is you decide to do for your country, do it soon. Do it now. Every minute that you delay further will add dearly to the price of ultimate victory.

[01:18:06] Mikki Willis:

Mr. Griffin, that was over 50 years ago (1969). Where are we now?

[01:18:11] G. Edward Griffin:

Hearing that phrase after all these years is kind of a shocker because I didn’t realize, really at the time, how accurate it was going to be. But we’re in the middle of it now, and so the ultimate victory is still ahead of us.

[01:18:25] Mikki Willis:

How did you know way back then what would be happening today?

[01:18:30] G. Edward Griffin:

It’s a long story of course but I did take a fascinating tour of the communist bookstore in Los Angeles when I was very very young. I was working for an insurance company I was Mr. Corporate America you know. That was the period when the hippie you know image was pretty popular and a lot of these guys in that bookstore were in that uniform. And I think they felt that was a potential recruit you know.

[01:18:30] G. Edward Griffin:

They invited me to come to their study groups, they called them. They were really the recruiting funnel you know. And I didn’t have to pretend to be interested because I was interested. I wanted to see what these guys were up to. In the course the more I read, the more I realized that these guys were deadly serious. And so my crusader gene said hey buddy you better stop worrying about the corporate ladder and making money and looking good and start doing something about it. And I’m glad I did because after that point my life had a meaning and had had a purpose – more than just self-centered.

[01:20:04] Mikki Willis:

Who are some of the key figures behind this agenda?

[01:20:07] G. Edward Griffin:

I’m not sure we can name names. We know that there are layers and layers of control and influence, sort of pyramidal in form. At the bottom level of course, is all the common people. Most of them don’t even know what’s going on. It used to be that an invader could come in with the superior army and people resent it but they obey, because if they don’t they get killed.

Now if they want to conquer people in this environment they have to do it through the mind. And of course today after all the technology that we have and the control over the communications and the images and the school system and media, they have absolute control over the funnel of information that comes to the average person.

And the average person, if they’re not aware that there’s a real war going on for their mind, they will be helpless. And as long as people are on the edge of fear, they’re willing to give up their liberties and pay lots and lots in taxes (Bernie Sanders: a tax on carbon).

And as I passed through that idea, in my view, the enemy is in a category called collectivism. And that’s the word that applies to all of these things socialism, communism, fascism, Nazism – all of these things are merely variants of collectivism. That is the philosophy based on the assumption that the group is more important than the individual and that the individual must be sacrificed,if necessary, for the greater good of the greater number. That’s the trick that you’re doing this for society.

[01:21:38] Montage: Doing Things for the Great Good

Anthony Fauci: Obviously you don’t like to tell people what to do. But sometimes, for the good of society, that’s necessary.

Don Lemon: We have to start doing things for the greater good of society and not for idiots who think that they can do their own research.

Priest: But it’s not about me and my right to choose. It’s about how I love my neighbor.

Rachel Maddow: You are not doing this for yourself. If you are at all like me, your own health, your own risk is not a big rational driver of all of your actions.

[01:22:07] G. Edward Griffin:

They trick us into thinking that if you act in your own self-interest, that somehow you are selfish. And nothing could be further from the truth. Those of us who discovered this trick, long ago we realize that enlightened self-interest comes into play. If you are acting out of self-interest, you soon discover that the best way to benefit yourself is to help other people. It does come back.

[01:22:35] Mikki Willis:

The question is how do we turn the ship around?

[01:22:38] G. Edward Griffin:

I think that the path to political hell in America has been voting for the lesser of two evils. They create conflict because conflict creates fear and confusion and out of that chaos. People are not too analytical, they just struggle for some quick answer which is what we’re going to vote for. That’s usually the answer that’s offered to them. They think that if you just vote for somebody, the right person, everything will go away.

You cannot wait until the list of candidates that’s published and you see which one am I going to choose? You know by that time the game is over. All those candidates have been selected before you’re even aware. You’ve got to get into politics at the local level so you have some influence in which candidates are selected. And that starts at the grassroots level. You don’t come in at the top, you come in at the bottom. If we do that job, we will influence both political parties, just like our opponents do now.

[01:23:36] Mark McDonald M.D.: There is actually a way forward and a way out. But it’s going to require work. And it’s also going to require that we acknowledge that we have wronged ourselves, that we are part of this problem. It’s not the government that caused this. The government facilitated it. What caused it was our being asleep at the wheel. Without taking accountability, we cannot move forward.

[01:23:59] Rizza Islam:

The masses of humanity have been slapped awake in a very short period of time to where now it has created a domino effect of awareness all across the planet. People cannot go back into the matrix now. They can’t. A lot of people are trying to and they can’t.

[01:24:18] Tricia Lindsay:

We have the right as citizens in this country to abolish government and create a new one. And that is the authority that has been given to us. It is written in our documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Human Rights. We have indelible rights and the basis of those rights are our freedoms. And if we don’t have that, we don’t have life. And so we have to awaken, we have to arise, we have to fight.

[01:24:48] Col Allen B. West:

The natural rights of every individual is life liberty and property. And establishing a country on a premise that had never been established before, that the individual is sovereign because their rights are endowed to them by a sovereign God.

[01:25:22] Vanessa (aka “Gothix”):

We’re all fighting with each other. And the way that we combat that is doing the opposite of what these war overlords want us to do, which is fight with each other. We should be learning how to forgive and inviting other people to the table, even if we disagree with them. And extending grace to one another, even if we know that they’ve done something that we totally disagree with. Because that’s how we ultimately are going to heal as the nation is understanding that we all come from different walks of life and we are all live here together. Let’s start talking.

[01:26:00] The Kwak Brothers:

The only real problem that’s existed in the world is division. It’s that people are not getting in rooms willing to speak with one another, see each other’s hearts, and get to know: hey what do you believe, what do I believe? And is there a way we can actually work together to solve these problems? And I’m willing to bet that most of the Gen. X’ers would say yes. That’s what we’re going through right now. And that’s why I’m glad we’re at the age that we are because we can be leaders of that conversation.

[01:26:25] JP Sears:

When I started to realize like wow freedom’s a polarizing concept for some reason. I thought this was America. Is this America? It is? Okay. The world’s different than I thought. So my fear was: I could lose everything. I could lose my audience. I could lose my business. But I knew, especially having a son come into the world, I am imprinting something on his beautiful, innocent, fragile psyche and heart. I’m imprinting the man that I am or I’m imprinting the hollow shell of the man that I refused to be. And I knew in that moment I’m willing to risk losing everything to do that. I would rather pick up cans on the side of the highway to feed my family than to live out of alignment with my truth and betray my son.

[01:27:16] Dr. Zev Zelenko:

Just say no. Rise up in a nonviolent way. They can’t imprison everyone. They can’t fire everyone. But they can fire individuals that are separated and don’t work together and give in to the fear. And don’t sacrifice your future for few conveniences now in the present. You should sacrifice maybe the present conveniences so that you’re going to have a future.

01:27:41] Ajua Mason:

The media has done a good job at stripping from us our ability to think on our own and for ourselves. If we can get back to that, I think that we can build a stronger America.

[01:27:55] Dr. Robert Malone:

In my opinion, the first step you have to take is you have to get out from under the control mechanisms. And that means, blow up your TV, don’t listen to the fear porn, and set yourself free of debt which is what controls you and controls everything around you. It is the weapon that is used.

[01:28:20] Mattais Desmet:

The most important thing is always that the dissonant voices continue to speak out. And, also extremely important, that they don’t start to form a mass or a crowd themselves, because that happens very easily as well, happens very easily. Once a large scale mass formation starts, the people who do not go along with them feel threatened and they can start to form a mass themselves. So it’s extremely important not to form a mass ourselves. That means to form a group, a coherent group, and that what unifies this group should in the first place be the fact that everybody who belongs to the group can have his own opinion and can speak in his own way.

[01:29:43] G. Edward Griffin:

Hardship strengthens us. We wouldn’t have had the American Revolution and the beta model for the American constitution, the beta model of the Republic of the modern world, unless the tyranny of King George had been unbearable. All the good things in life usually are the result of some kind of a rebound against something that’s very not good at all. Very painful.

[01:30:22] G. Edward Griffin:

You know, in a philosophical sense, we should be thankful for this movement that’s happening in spite of the fact that it’s a tragedy and it’s hurting people and all that. But without it, we might just go right along in that pot and be boiled in time. But now, the frog is jumping out. And we have a chance coming up here now to create a new vision, and it’s going to be great.

[01:30:46] Mattais Desmet:

It’s a bit cynical, but this could be good news: that mass formation and totalitarianism always destroys itself in a relatively short time span. And the most important thing of course is that you have to make sure that the system does not destroy you before it destroys itself.

[01:31:04] G. Edward Griffin:

Throughout history, it was always a very small minority. History has always been written by the 1% of the population. 15% of the population create history and they follow the leadership, the thought leadership of 1%. But that 15% altogether is what changes history. So all you have to do is reach 15% of the population. I think today, after all this time, we have more than 15%. We just have to get them together so they realize that they’re not alone. And that’s our task right now.

[01:31:40] Zuby:

I don’t think our societies have taken the moment to look up and actually see and appreciate how much progress has been made in the past century. On so many different levels, we have made incredible progress. Like what we’ve got here is actually great. It’s imperfect and we should still be making tweaks carefully to try to make it better. And I think that’s where so much of that self-hatred or hatred of the nation or hatred of the other or whatever comes from: this lack of perspective and gratitude and inability to take a moment. Chill out on the activism, and go wait actually OK we we’ve achieved a very unique and special point in history and let’s be careful with that.

[01:32:26] Mikki Willis:

On that note, as a man who’s traveled the world, have you experienced any nation that has course-corrected beyond their sins more than the US?

[01:32:36] Zuby:

No.

[01:32:38] Lily Tang Williams:

It’s sad to see Americans who live in a free country, born as Americans, and do not recognize their privileges. You’re born American – a free country. You have never suffered starvation. And you need to go to other countries to find out why all the immigrants, millions, millions of them want to come here.

[01:34:10] G. Edward Griffin:

The defectors here that are speaking out against the Communist Party in China are risking their lives. And our government is not interested in listening to them or helping them in any way.

[01:34:35] Winston Liu:

I have been in America for 10 years. I saw a lot of Americans with a wonderful heart. America is a beacon of freedom. I’m happy living in this land, to practice my religion, and to have a peaceful life. That’s my hope.

[01:34:57] Lily Tang Williams:

America is the last stand on Earth for freedom. If we lose this country, the world will be a very dark place. I have three children in this country. I want to protect their American dream, so here I am, you know.

[01:35:29] Mikki Willis:

I’ve noticed that every time you speak about America, your eyes fill with tears.

[01:35:32] Lily Tang Williams:

I do love this country. No place to go. And I just hope people can hear my stories. For the past five years, I’ve been saying the same thing. I have no political agenda here. I just want to live the American dream and my children live the American dream. Sorry about that. It’s time to ask questions. It’s time to wake up.

[01:36:24] Mikki Willis:

We’ve been brought together in this moment to face the urgent choice between dehumanization and rehumanization. Dehumanization requires us to do nothing – nothing other than to allow that process to continue to the point of no return. Rehumanization, on the other hand, requires action. One action: to remember, just remember what we knew as children when everything was possible before our attention was captured, before the conditioning set in, before our nature was denied. There’s nothing new we have to learn. All we have to do is to remember.

 

[01:37:12] David E. Martin:

And then take the hand of that memory and go out and stand on ground, not concrete, not asphalt. Stand on the ground. And see if you can feel the heartbeat of a universe that conspired to give you life, so you once again can feel the joy of being completely human. And then never forget that moment.

[01:37:51] Mikki Willis:

This is the moment for us to activate our innate ability to create solutions that can only happen through the awareness of symbiosis, defined as a mutually beneficial relationship between different groups. All of life depends on relationships. Every living thing is in communication: from the stars to the planets, the Earth, the planets, the elements, the insects, the animals, the humans, and every cell within us. Real change out there begins with real change inside. 

[01:38:30] G. Edward Griffin:

As Americans today, we are truly a privileged people in a privileged land. But with our blessings come responsibilities. And with responsibilities come risks. The challenge of our time is that we must accept both the responsibilities of our blessings and the risks involved in defending them for ourselves and for future generations. And we must do this without hesitation if we are to be worthy benefactors of that precious heritage of freedom passed on to us through the epic sacrifices of those who have gone before. Now that is not flag waving and it is not cliched patriotism. That’s a simple statement of the obligations of citizenship in this glorious land, our land, which with God’s help we shall preserve.




“Thank You To The Haters”: Joe Rogan Breaks Silence On Spotify Controversy, Rejects “Disinformation” Label

By Tyler Durden | ZeroHedge

Hours after Spotify said in a statement that it would modify its content policies – which Joe Rogan did not violate, the company clarified  – and adopt a “content advisory” for certain podcast episodes in an effort to placate the snowflakes, Joe Rogan finally broke his silence on the uproar over his podcast in a 10-minute video shared to Instagram.

In the video, a kind of frank confessional apparently shot by Rogan himself using his own phone, Rogan apologized to those he had unwittingly offended, before launching into a poignant, carefully crafted explanation that gently nudged and reminded objectors about why Rogan’s show is a must-listen, and a leader in the modern-day podcast gold rush.

But first, Rogan asked listeners to ignore certain “disparaging” headlines that he said misrepresent what he’s doing.

“I wanted to make this video first of all because I think there are a lot of people who have a distorted misconception about what I do may be based on soundbites or headlines of articles that are disparaging. The podcast has been accused of spreading ‘dangerous misinformation’…specifically about two episodes, one with Dr. Peter McCollough and one with Dr. Robert Malone.”

Both doctors are highly credentialed, while also harboring views on SARS-CoV-2 and how to combat it that are “different” from the mainstream narrative.

“Both of these people are very highly credentialed very intelligent highly accomplished people and they have an opinion that’s different from the mainstream narrative. I wanted to hear what their opinion is.”

Unfortunately, there are others who are fearful of what these two doctors have to say, and believe that they are somehow personally responsible for the ongoing COVID pandemic (despite the fact that “the science” shows it’s quite obvious that there’s nothing humans can do to stop the pandemic, although they can take steps to limit fatalities).

This is the problem: since the start of the pandemic, public health authorities have seen their guidance proven wrong again and again, as comedian Adam Carolla put it: “what have you guys been right about?”

Rogan says something similar, claiming that practically every piece of “misinformation” has later been proven correct – everything from whether the vaccinated can still spread the virus, to whether COVID may have been created in a Wuhan laboratory, a view that once saw Zero Hedge banned from Twitter for months.

“The problem I have with the term disinformation, especially today, is that 8 months ago, many of the things that were considered ‘disinformation’ are now accepted as fact. For example, 8 months ago, if you said ‘if you get vaccinated you can still catch COVID and you can still spread COVID, you would be removed from social media, they would ban you from certain platforms.”

He continued: 8 months or a year ago, “…if you said ‘I don’t think cloth masks work’ you would be banned from social media, now that’s openly  and repeatedly stated on CNN. If you said ‘I think it’s possible COVID may have come from a lab’ you would be banned from many social media platforms – now it’s on the cover of Newsweek.”

Again, Rogan insisted that he isn’t endorsing the views of his guests, nor proclaiming them to be somehow correct or immutable: he’s simply exploring a range of viewpoints to help his audience arrive at their own conclusions, instead of being indoctrinated with viewpoints favorable to the masters of whatever corporate-owned media they consume.

“I don’t know if they’re right? No…I’m not a doctor, I’m not a scientist…I’m just a person who sits down with people and have conversations with them. Do I get things wrong? Absolutely…but when I get things wrong I try to correct them…because I’m interested in finding out what the truth is, and I’m interested in having conversations with people who have different opinions. I’m not interested in talking with people…who have only one perspective.”

Rogan then name-checked several more mainstream COVID experts – from Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Dr. Michael Osterholm, a member of President Biden’s COVID advisory board), to others – as evidence that he is truly interested in hearing a diverse range of opinions and views, not just those who parrot the government-endorsed “official” narrative.

As for the situation with Neil Young, Rogan gamely noted that he’s “sure there are other things going on behind the scenes.” For example, might Young be doing this to try and fetch a higher price for his lifetime music catalogue ahead of a sale (like Bob Dylan did).

But still, Rogan insisted that he has always been a huge Neil Young fan, even recounting an amusing story about a Neil Young show he attended while working concert security in his youth.

As for the “interviews” he conducts with his guests, “…they are just conversations…often times I have no idea what I’m going to talk about until I sit down…that’s also the appeal of the show, it’s one of the things that makes it interesting.”

Toward the end of the video, Rogan said this to sum up:

“I’m not trying to promote misinformation, I’m not trying to do anything controversial, I’m just trying to have regular conversations with these people.”

“My pledge to you is that I will do my best to balance out these more controversial viewpoints with other people’s perspectives so that we can maybe find a better view. I don’t just want to just show the contrary opinion to what the prevailing narrative is. I want to show all kinds of opinions so that we can figure out what’s going on – and not just about COVID, about health, about fitness, wellness, the state of the world itself.

And finally, he even thanked “the haters” for helping to keep him sharp.

“Even thank you to the haters, it’s good to have some haters because it makes you reassess what you’re doing…and I think that’s good, too.”

The censorship-free alternative media platform Minds went down temporarily on Thursday, but came back online shortly after. When the site came back online, representatives of Minds say that the outage was a result of over 200,000+ new people signing up for the site one the same day. A large number of sign-ups were from Thailand, where increased internet censorship has forced users from mainstream platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

“Yesterday we saw 200,000+ new users. We are thrilled to provide privacy, internet freedom and digital rights for Thai netizens. This is exactly the reason Minds exists,” Minds CEO Bill Ottman said in a statement.

Some of the most notable social media users to recently migrate to Minds includes Wiroj Lakkana-adisorn, an MP for the disbanded Future Forward Party; social critic Sarinee Achavanuntakul, writer-translator Tomorn Sookprecha, satirical TV host Winyu “John” Wongsurawat, and academic Pavin Chachavalpongpun.

“We are immediately building out our translation and localization framework for Thai and many other languages. This should be finished within a few weeks. All of our project is fully open source at https://developers.minds.com and people can submit requests at https://gitlab.com/minds. They can also inspect our software to make sure we aren’t manipulating algorithms or user privacy. We already have Thai developers helping with the code and building new tools,” Ottman said.

The First Documentary Movie on the Origin of CCP Virus (Coronavirus)

Video Source: The Epoch Times

This new documentary about the origin of the CCP virus (coronavirus) is presented by The Epoch Times and NTD. Epoch Times investigative reporter Joshua Philipp takes an in-depth look at the progression of the pandemic from January to April and leads us on a journey of discovery to bring the truth behind the matter to light.

From the Huanan Seafood Market in Hubei Province to the scandals at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, from long-running experiments on viruses to military takeovers, suspicious activities arise from every corner. Through vigorous investigations and the piecing together of hidden information, the documentary will unearth a more complete understanding of the situation surrounding the rise of this pandemic.

Suspicions uncovered from official reports and publicly available information also sprouted more questions, leading to surprising findings and inquiries.

The CCP virus, which originated from China, has rampaged through the world and caused more than 80,000 deaths, infecting at least 1.4 million. The true number of deaths and infections is unknown due to the underreporting of cases from mainland China.




How to Be Intentional About Consuming Coronavirus News

By  Jill Suttie | Greater Good Magazine 

My inbox is flooded with news about the coronavirus outbreak. Every hour, I’m hearing about how many people are infected and dying, how woefully unprepared we are for this pandemic, and how the economy is tanking. It’s enough to make my head explode with panic and dread.

Of course, I want to stay informed, and it’s important to know what I can do to help prevent the spread of the infection. How can I do that without feeling overwhelmed? Is there a better way to consume the news?

It turns out that there is, according to media experts and researchers. Taking in a constant stream of alarming news increases your stress and anxiety—and has long-term consequences for your physical health, too. The key is to balance your media diet with news stories that are more inspiring or offer solutions, and then share them with friends and family. Taking those steps will help instill a sense of hope and personal agency, in yourself and others.

Taking in the constant bad news is unhealthy

Of course, we need to know what’s going on with the coronavirus pandemic in order to make good decisions, like washing our hands regularly and social distancing. Those actions help us fight the spread of the disease. But, as a new paper published in Health Psychology suggests, constantly reading negative, sensationalist news stories can have long-term consequences for our well-being.

Alison Holman and her colleagues at UC Irvine have studied past epidemics and disasters to see how news reporting affects people. They found that those who read or saw more sensationalist, repetitive news stories experienced acute stress and other symptoms similar to a post-traumatic stress disorder, with poorer health up to three years later.

These effects can be even harsher for people in communities that have already suffered a disaster. In one study, Holman and her colleagues found that New Yorkers (who lived through 9/11) following sensationalist news stories about the Boston Marathon bombings had as much stress as people who actually lived in Boston where the bombings took place.

“Media coverage tends toward sensationalism, showing repeated images designed to grab your attention, and repeated exposure to that is not good for our mental health,” says Holman. “This can become a distress cycle, where people have a lot of fears about what the future looks like, and it just gets worse and worse as people continue to pay too much attention to the media.”

Holman also points out how a diet of bad news hurts our ability to make good decisions—especially under circumstances where the future seems uncertain or ambiguous. In the current epidemic, she sees this playing out by people hoarding products like toilet paper or, more seriously, protective masks needed by health care workers. Overblown fears lead people to run to the doctor when they have even mild symptoms of infection, thereby clogging up health care facilities needed for more serious cases.

Luckily, there are ways to get factual information without gorging ourselves on negative news. Holman recommends going to The Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization websites for information about the virus that is less alarmist and also non-partisan. Reading the facts about the disease and what we can do to prevent its spread—“maybe once a day,” suggests Holman—is infinitely better for us than scrolling through our newsfeeds on social media every hour.

“Don’t let yourself sit there in front of your computer and constantly look up and refresh your screen to see what’s going on,” says Holman. “Things are changing fast, but we already know what we need to do.”

How our brains process news

Still, it’s hard to pull our attention away from fear-inducing news; our minds fight us. As John Tierney, co-author of The Power of Badexplains, our brains have a negativity bias that’s designed to root out danger so that we can stay safe. We can’t help but be hijacked by bad news stories, and news sources want to capitalize on that by publishing the most sensational stories designed to invoke fear.

As an example, he points to the many articles and websites monitoring death rates from COVID-19 and speculating on how bad it could get without having all of the facts—like how many real cases there are in a community, including people exposed to the virus without showing symptoms. Following this barrage of misinformation might incite fear rather than rational responses to the pandemic, Tierney says.

Media researcher Karen McIntyre of Virginia Commonwealth University also warns us that negative news can lead us to be less kind and helpful toward others, right at the time we need to come together the most. While research suggests that experiencing positive emotions can make us better friends and neighbors, consuming a lot of negative news leads people to be “less tolerant of others, engage in more antisocial behavior, trust people less, and criticize the media more,” she says. “All of these general, negative effects of negative news are just exacerbated during a time like this when we’re seeing even more negative news.”

Sensationalist news is pretty hard to avoid, though—especially if you are tuned into social media. Social media has its upsides, of course, allowing us to check in with people we can’t see in person due to social isolation. But it can also be a firehose of bad news, where stories about the pandemic—whether accurate or not—are shared over and over again, perpetuating fear, anger, and hopelessness.

As a media expert, Jeff Hancock of Stanford University warns, “Getting your news from news outlets in social media is problematic because we’re still having a hard time distinguishing between reputable sources online and non-reputable ones.”

To avoid being taken for an emotional ride by these “highly emotional, clickbait, misinformation-type stories,” he suggests avoiding them altogether and reading only news stories written by reputable journalists or looking to science experts to provide accurate information about the pandemic—like this site from John Hopkins University.

We also need to be careful about how a constant diet of negative news might affect our rational response to the pandemic. Cognitive biases impact how we process the news, too, according to McIntyre. For example, our brain’s confirmation bias drives us to seek out only information that’s aligned with what we already believe and to discredit the rest; the anchoring bias means we rely heavily on the first piece of information we hear and ignore what comes after. Biases like these can prevent us from learning from the ever-changing news around the pandemic, hurting our chances to fight it effectively.

The optimism bias—thinking bad things are less likely to happen to us than to other people—is a problem, too, says McIntyre. If you think you’re unlikely to get COVID-19, you may be less inclined to take the necessary precautions to prevent it from spreading. So, we need to be careful about how these biases make us pay attention to certain types of news and ignore others.

“Being aware of these biases can help you prevent yourself from falling prey to them,” she says.

Why share uplifting, solution-based news

What can we do instead? We can be more selective about our media consumption and use it to promote more kindness, connection, and inspiration.

If you are going to use social media, Hancock suggests using it to see how the people you care about are doing, how you can keep calm, or how to help others in need—especially your nearby neighbors and communities.

“Media can show us what people are doing so that we might feel like it’s not just us—not just be—stuck at home,” he says. “If I can see what other people are doing, it can make us feel like we’re all in the same boat, and I think that can be really powerful.”

While fear leaves people feeling helpless and exhausted, seeing that “we’re in it together” helps ease the emotional burden we feel and encourages more agency—the sense that we can do something constructive to fight the pandemic. You can encourage more coming together, McIntyre suggests, by reading what’s called “solutions-based journalism”—stories that go into depth around a problem, but also let you know what’s being done to solve the problem effectively.

“When you see what’s working—that the news isn’t all bad, and there are a lot of things that the world is doing well right now—that helps ease the helplessness and hopelessness you may be feeling,” she says. And it can lead to more altruism, too, because “reading a news story about how somebody is doing something to help inspires you to want to do something to help, too.”

Where can people go to get this kind of news? McIntyre suggests the Solutions Journalism Network, where you can find a large database of solution-focused news stories—including stories related to the virus. She also mentions that several newspapers, including the New York Times and the Guardian, have sections that focus on uplifting news stories, which can help us break up our diet of bad news.

Though most newspapers operate on the assumption that “if it bleeds, it leads,” it may surprise you to know that positive, in-depth reporting engages readers more than sensationalist stories, says McIntyre. Research shows that people share uplifting stories more, and they keep their eyes on the page longer when they read solution-based stories—all the more reason for news outlets to provide more positive and in-depth coverage and for all of us to share it.

“It’s important that we do try to read the news thoroughly and listen to all the facts,” says McIntyre. “Making sure that you’re checking your sources, that you’re going to reliable sources to get information, and that you get a mix of sources, incorporating some constructive news into your mix—all of these things help.”

Staying informed without alarming yourself is not just important for you, but for everyone. If we can all do our part to put ourselves on what Tierney calls a “low bad news” diet, no doubt we will get through this pandemic together better and help preserve our own mental health in the process.

The Pornification of America: How Young Girls Are Being Groomed by Sexual Predators

Image Credit: Waking Times

By John W. Whitehead | Rutherford

“The brutal reality is that a predator doesn’t have to be in the same room, building, or even country to abuse a child. And that’s what they’re doing — subjecting children to psychological and sexual abuse.”—“I’m a 37-Year-Old Mom & I Spent Seven Days Online as an 11-Year-Old Girl. Here’s What I Learned,” Medium

What can we do to protect America’s young people from sexual predators?

That’s the question I keep getting asked by people who, having read my article on the growing danger of young boys and girls (some as young as 9 years old) being bought and sold for sex, want to do something proactive to stop these monsters in their tracks.

It is estimated that the number of children who are at risk of being trafficked or have already been sold into the sex trade would fill 1300 school buses.

While those who seek to buy young children for sex come from all backgrounds, races, ages and work forces, they do have one thing in common: 99% of them are men.

This is not a problem with an easy fix.

That so many children continue to be victimized, brutalized and treated like human cargo is due to three things: one, a consumer demand that is increasingly lucrative for everyone involved—except the victims; two, a level of corruption so invasive on both a local and international scale that there is little hope of working through established channels for change; and three, an eerie silence from individuals who fail to speak out against such atrocities.

Sure, there are things that can be done to catch those who trade in young flesh: police need to do a better job of training, identifying and responding to these issues; communities and social services need to do a better job of protecting runaways, who are the primary targets of traffickers, and educating parents and young people about the dangers; legislators need to pass legislation aimed at prosecuting traffickers and “johns,” the buyers who drive the demand for sex slaves; and hotels need to stop enabling these traffickers, by providing them with rooms and cover for their dirty deeds.

However, these are reactive responses to a menace that grows more sophisticated by the day.

We need to be preemptive and proactive in our understanding of the threats and smarter and more sophisticated in our responses, as well.

What we are dealing with is a culture that is grooming these young children, especially young girls, to be preyed upon by men.

As Jami Nesbitt writes for Bark, “Grooming is the process by which someone befriends and gains the trust of a child (and sometimes the child’s friends and family) in order to take advantage of the child for sexual purposes.”

There are usually six stages to grooming by a sexual predator: friendship (targeting and gaining trust); relationship (filling the child’s needs); gauging the level of protection surrounding the child; exclusivity (isolating the child from others); sexualization (desensitizing the child to sex talk and activities); and abuse.

All of those screen devices being passed along to children at ever-younger ages? They have become the sexual predator’s primary means of gaining access to young people, and it’s primarily happening online. As The New York Times reports:

“Sexual predators have found an easy access point into the lives of young people: They are meeting them online through multiplayer video games and chat apps, making virtual connections right in their victims’ homes. Many of the interactions lead to crimes of ‘sextortion,’ in which children are coerced into sending explicit imagery of themselves.”

Indeed, video games such as Minecraft and Fortnite, social media apps such as TikTok and Instagram, and online chat forums have become “hunting grounds” for sexual predators.

Again from The New York Times:

“Criminals strike up a conversation and gradually build trust. Often they pose as children, confiding in their victims with false stories of hardship or self-loathing. Their goal, typically, is to dupe children into sharing sexually explicit photos and videos of themselves — which they use as blackmail for more imagery, much of it increasingly graphic and violent. Reports of abuse are emerging with unprecedented frequency around the country, with some perpetrators grooming hundreds and even thousands of victims.”

Bayer’s Stock Has Lost 44% of Its Value Since They Bought Monsanto

Image Credit: Truth Theory

John Vibes | Waking Times

Bayer’s stock price fell to a seven year low this week, after the company lost a $2 billion lawsuit over claims that the weedkiller Roundup causes cancer. Roundup weedkiller is a product that was developed by the controversial biotech corporation Monsanto, but the company was purchased by Bayer for $66 Billion in 2016. Along with the acquisition of the extremely profitable company, Bayer has also inherited a long list of lawsuits and reputation problems.

Bayer’s stock has been in a freefall all year, as more bad news about Roundup reaches the public. The company’s stock is down by more than 44% since the acquisition of Monsanto.

Roundup contains a chemical called glyphosate, which has been shown in many studies to cause cancer. Despite these findings, the EPA has concluded that the chemical is safe, citing other contradictory studies. However, as an Intercept investigation revealed, the vast majority of those contradictory studies were commissioned by Monsanto. The data that the EPA was using to determine the safety of glyphosate was actually provided by Monsanto, which represents an obvious conflict of interest.

As the expenses from the Roundup lawsuits began to mount, Bayer shareholders began to question the wisdom of the Monsanto acquisition.

Earlier this year, Bayer shareholder Christian Strenger, filed a motion of no confidence in Bayer’s board complaining of negligence on the part of Bayer CEO Werner Baumann in the Monsanto acquisition.

Strenger pointed to the “almost complete failure to deliver the key objectives presented by Baumann in May 2016 for the Monsanto acquisition.”

“Mr. Baumann from Bayer always refers to 800 opinions that glyphosate is a safe product. But the big issue is how was it applied, and was it sold properly with sufficient warning signs. [Bayer] should have insisted. These were not military secrets. Bayer should have told Monsanto, ‘Either you get the DOJ to permit disclosure, or we’re not going to proceed with the transaction,‘” Strenger said, according to Fortune.

Strenger accused the decision-makers at Bayer of being “lenient with a proper analysis of the legal situation.”

Amazon Joins Big Tech Assault on Anti-Vaccine Information

Image Credit: Bleeping Computer

By Jason Erikson | Activist Post

 

As major media and big tech continue freaking out over 159 measles cases in the U.S., anti-vaccine campaigners are increasingly being likened to terrorists as their ability to share information and earn money is being cut off.

The origin of this latest move against the free flow of information seems to have stemmed from a letter sent by Adam Schiff (D-CA) to the heads of Facebook and Google wherein he lamented the increased viewership of the vaccine debate:

“There is strong evidence to suggest that at least part of the source of this trend is the degree to which medically inaccurate information about vaccines surface on the websites where many Americans get their information,” Schiff wrote in the letter. “The algorithms which power these services are not designed to distinguish quality information from misinformation or misleading information, and the consequences of that are particularly troubling for public health issues.” (Source: Bloomberg)

Facebook was the first to agree with Schiff’s call to action and vowed that they were “exploring additional measures” to fight the appearance of anti-vaccine messaging to the reading public.

But it was YouTube (Google) that appears to have taken the swiftest measures against anti-vaccine proponents by announcing that their two-pronged approach would include demonitizing videos with “dangerous and harmful” content, plus adding a stern warning from the World Health Organization that being anti-vaccine is “one of the top ten global health threats of 2019.”

In the true spirit of competition for which big tech company can foster the most censorship and destroy the key values of democracy, Amazon has followed suit by burning the digital books (videos) of those who have made it their life’s work to educate the public and spur debate. And, again, it seems that the public comments made by a single rep – Adam Schiff – have been enough to alter company policy which affects millions of people.

The move came days after a CNN Business report highlighted the anti-vaccine comment available on the site, and hours after Rep. Adam Schiff wrote an open letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, saying he is concerned “that Amazon is surfacing and recommending” anti-vaccination books and movies.

Anti-vaccine movies that were previously available free for Prime subscribers, like “We Don’t Vaccinate!,” “Shoot ‘Em Up: The Truth About Vaccines,” and “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe,” are now “currently unavailable.” (Source: Fox2now)

As the Fox report referenced above highlights, while some items have fully disappeared from “recommended” areas of the site, others do remain. Fox specifically cites one of the more egregious offenders still in front of the delicate eyes of viewers: “Miller’s Review of Critical Vaccine Studies: 400 Important Scientific Papers Summarized for Parents and Researchers.” Because why should anyone be encouraged to read primary research into the efficacy of something being injected into their own body and the bodies of their loved ones — it almost sounds like informed consent. It’s also a sign that Amazon holds its own core system of peer-to-peer reviews and recommendations in contempt as it resorts to algorithmic adjustments to hide the realities of real-world discussion.

Perhaps most troubling here is that this tactic, as well as the rhetoric being used, is straight out of the anti-terrorism lingo that we hear from the government and their revolving-door corporations like Facebook, Google, Amazon, et al. It’s the same strategy that has resulted in cutting off the funding of people from all walks of independent media for all types of different and “dangerous” thoughts that could “radicalize” the unsuspecting public.

Some still continue to argue that these are private companies with private policies that can do what they wish with their own businesses. That sounds true until a single U.S. representative sends a letter that changes the policies of multiple companies virtually overnight. And it sounds OK until an entire country revokes the visa of David Icke for his brand of “dangerous” information, which was assumed to include anti-vax and global warming questions, as Activist Post recently reported.

The virus-spreading anti-vaxxers — if that is what one chooses to believe — are no match for the infection that has spread like wildfire across our formerly free and open Internet. Perhaps we have given too much of ourselves to the middlemen of big tech and have forgotten the value of direct communication. Now is the time to remember how to communicate without the contrived structures of “social” systems of media, and without their approval.

Activists Unite in Houston to Save Independent Media in 2019

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO9vWhfhvXM

By The Conscious Resistance

Derrick Broze talks with Jason Bassler, co-founder of The Free Thought Project, about ongoing censorship of alternative and independent media and the upcoming (January 12, 2019) United for Common Ground Summit in Houston, Texas.

Can the Independent media be saved in 2019?

The United for Common Ground Summit is the first attempt at bringing together digital activists, journalists, and influencers from around the United States and abroad for a one day event in the Houston, Texas. The independent, or “alternative”, media will partner with veteran activists to brainstorm solutions to combat the 2018 wave of social media censorship. This censorship by online platforms has greatly affected activists and independent journalists efforts to organize and spread awareness.

We seek to unify all truthful, anti-censorship, pro-peace journalists & activists that question the political establishment, both left and right, as well as the corporate media establishment. To be clear, this is not a conference or a festival, but a meeting of the minds to network, strategize and plan how to move forward in an era of social media censorship.

The United for Common Ground Summit was organized by Houston activist and radio show host Derrick Broze and Jason Bassler, co-founder of The Free Thought Project. 

“There has never been a better time for those of us in the alternative media community to put our heads together,” Bassler says. “Censorship is only getting worse but with the right coordination and strategy we can strike back and ensure a sustainable future free from establishment control.”

WHEN: January 12, 2019, 9 am to 4 pm at Talento Bilingüe de Houston (333 South Jensen Dr. Houston, Texas 77003)


The Conscious Resistance Network is an independent media organization focused on empowering individuals through education, philosophy, health, and community organizing. We work to create a world where corporate and state power does not rule over the lives of free human beings.

Watch this fascinating TED video with Alex Edmans discussing what you can trust in a ‘post-truth’ world.

Only if you are truly open to the possibility of being wrong can you ever learn, says researcher Alex Edmans. In an insightful talk, he explores how confirmation bias — the tendency to only accept information that supports your personal beliefs — can lead you astray on social media, in politics and beyond, and offers three practical tools for finding evidence you can actually trust. (Hint: appoint someone to be the devil’s advocate in your life.)
