Fri Episode #2042: Mercury in Vaccines Isn’t a Conspiracy — It’s on the CDC Agenda
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
It's the David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it is Friday, the 27th of June, year of our Lord 2025.
And today we're going to look at the lives of the mainstream media and big pharma when it comes to mercury in the vaccines.
We're also going to look at a horrifying story of a would-be serial killer that crucified a pastor inside his own home.
And in the second hour, we're talking with Jack Lawson.
And in the third, we're replaying a classic interview that my dad did with G Van Fleet, the woman who wrote Mao's America.
Stay with us.
We'll be right back.
PIANO PLAYS
PIANO PLAYS
Good morning, and thank you for joining us on this lovely Friday.
Hope you've all had a good week, and I hope you're all gearing up for a nice weekend.
I know we've looked at a bunch of terrible stories.
It's easy to let this get you down.
But we should always prioritize family and building community.
So I hope that you have some fun plans this Friday.
I hope you're not letting this eat you alive.
Don't stare too long into the abyss.
But as I said, we're going to start by looking at the lies of the mainstream media and big pharma when it comes to mercury and the vaccines.
But before we do even that, I want to make sure that I thank the people who have contributed via Zell and Cash App.
From Cash App, we've got John W. Derek, Christopher, Amy B., and Andrew S. Now we're going to move on to Zell.
We've got Scott Littman, Ronald Har Ronald H., Joseph R. Janice W. Matthew S. Lisa K, Kevin H. Mary Ellen Moore, Michael L Michael L again, William W. Adam D,
Maurice W. Mitchell M. Josephine C Kelly K, Kevin M. William R. Gretchen C, Marco V J H, Susan L, Sean S, Robert A, Sally D,
Susan L, Kenneth C, Denise L J H Benjamin R, William R, Lois I, Gregory I, Susan L, Gretchen C, David S, Marco V, Wayne H,
Kevin M, Susan L, Charles D, Michael P, Brian P, Lisa K, Peter H, Gregory N, Juan R., Kenneth C, and Scott L. We thank you all so very much.
It is because of you that we are able to continue doing the show.
You have been so incredibly generous, and we really do appreciate it.
Thank you all so very much.
As I said, we're going to start with the CDC.
After years of silence, new CDC vaccine panel to vote on mercury in the flu shots.
That's light.
That's right.
All these years, they've been saying, there's no mercury in there.
We took it out.
We took it out.
Don't worry about it.
But it was a lie.
It was a lie.
This is by Suzanne Burdeck, PhD, and this is on children's health defense.
The CDC's vaccine advisory committee will vote next week on the mercury-based flu vaccine according to an advisory committee on immunization practices, ACIP ACIP, meeting agenda draft posted today on the ACIP website.
The committee will also vote on RSV vaccines for pregnant mothers, babies, and young children.
That's right, they're going to vote on it.
They're going to see whether they want to poison pregnant mothers, babies, and young children.
They're going to think about it real hard before they decide if they want to inject this garbage, this poison, into those extremely vulnerable groups.
Isn't that wonderful?
They're going to give it a nice, long thought.
Hmm, do we think that they should inject this poison?
This will be the first meeting since U.S. Health and Human Services HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tapped eight new ASIP members just days after removing all 17 former members when he called a clean sweep.
They needed to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science.
Don't ever trust them.
Don't ever trust these people.
They've proven untrustworthy.
The entire system is corrupt.
It's paid off.
It's bought and paid for by big pharma, the vaccine science, the science that gave us the warp speed vaccine, the vaccine that is now giving us turbo cancer, warp speed cancer, and killing who knows how many people across the globe.
That's right, he's going to reestablish public confidence.
That's all he's here to do, maybe.
He's not going to do any major changes, anything real.
He's going to have them look at the science and go, oh, well, you know, we put in new people.
You can trust us again.
Where they vote, ACIP members will hear presentations on respiratory signitial virus or RSV, vaccines including Merck's new RSV shot for newborns.
RSV is something they desperately try to scare you with.
My wife and I, of course, had our first child last year, and when we would go to the doctors for her checkups when she was pregnant, they were continually trying to get her to take an RSV vaccine.
They were continually trying to say, well, you can get one, and it'll pass the immunization onto the baby.
They were working very, very hard to make it as scary as possible.
Oh, if you don't get this, the baby could get RSV.
It could be life-threatening.
It's like, well, what are the chances of it being life-threatening?
It's not very great.
Very likely, it will be a minor ordeal.
Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, approved the new shot, even though clinical trials showed an 11.71% rate of serious adverse events, including death, over a 10% rate, over a 1 in 10 chance that if you inject your child, they'll have some kind of serious adverse event.
Doesn't specify what the rate of death is, but there's 10%, over a 10% chance of something serious or potentially death.
Discussions, but no votes are slated for other vaccines, including COVID-19, chicken guna, anthrax, and MMRV, measles bumps, rubella, varicella.
Oh nice.
They're adding more to the MMR vaccine.
Isn't that wonderful?
Rubella and Vericella.
Sounds like some kind of Italian pasta dish.
ACIP decides which vaccine should be recommended to the public, who should take them and how often.
I recommend, personally, from this is just my own opinion, that you don't get them at all.
Who should take them and how often?
Recommendations the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC typically rubber stamps and publishes on its immunization schedules.
Committee will meet June 25th through 26th in Atlanta, Georgia.
Thimirisol is a mercury based preservative used in multi-dose vials of the flu vaccine, including to the CDC.
According to the CDC, most single-dose vials and pre-filled syringes of the flu shot don't contain the preservative as they're intended for single use.
Most of them don't.
Because we're not holding them for too long.
They don't need to be preserved.
Over 25 years ago, the vaccine industry leaders and public health officials concealed evidence from the CDC's own database that linked thimerosol to neurodevelopmental disorders in children, including autism.
According to transcripts from a meeting in Norcross, Georgia, the U.S. government has long said thimerosol poses no harm to children.
And of course, we know that that's not true.
That isn't true at all.
Thimerosol, of course, being mercury.
Mercury has a long history of causing people various kinds of damage.
In fact, the mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland is mad because of mercury.
Hatters in England used to work with mercury.
As part of how they did their job, they were exposed to mercury vapor, and it would cause them to go through cognitive decline and give them serious mood swings.
That's where the term mad as a hatter comes from, because they were poisoning themselves with mercury.
Seems we've forgotten that.
So now we're not going to use it to make hats anymore, but inject it into your children.
Apparently, the vapor is dangerous, but if you inject it directly into a child, it's just fine.
U.S. government has long said the Merosol poses no harm to children.
What liars they are.
What liars.
However, in 2001, out of what the agency said was an abundance of caution, the CDC said the ingredient would no longer be used in childhood vaccines.
They can't stop lying, can they?
They just can't bring themselves to tell the truth.
A recent investigation by journalist Cheryl Atkison proved both statements untrue.
Thimirosol's potential to harm kids has been on Kennedy's radar for over a decade.
In 2014, RFK Jr. edited a book on the topic, Thimerosol.
Let the Science Speak, the evidence supporting the immediate removal of mercury, a no-neurotoxin from vaccines.
It's a mouthful of a title there.
The CDC webpage for flu shot safety considerations during pregnancy makes no mention of thimerosol, nor does it encourage pregnant women to be sure they get the flu shot from a single-dose vial or pre-filled syringe to avoid mercury exposure.
That's right.
They'll do what they can to obfuscate it by saying, oh, well, we removed it from these certain ones.
We removed it.
But they won't tell you to make sure that you get the dosage that doesn't have it in there.
Next week, ACIP members will hear a presentation on thimerosol and vaccines and a presentation on proposed recommendations for flu vaccines that contain thimerosol.
The names of the presenters were not listed on the agenda at press time.
Committee will also vote on flu vaccines that don't contain thimerosol.
doctor Meryl Nast, who has attended many past ACIP meetings, said there is no need for thimerosol, a known neurotoxin.
As it is not used in single dose files, its use should be ended.
Reactions to the ACEP meeting agenda were mixed.
Some said it signaled that the CDC is veering off course.
Others called for even more change.
Brian Hooker, PhD, Children's Health Defense, CHD Chief Scientific Officer, said that although he was encouraged by Kennedy's selections for the new ACEP members, he was disappointed in the slate of meeting presenters and moderators.
It is the same old cast of CDC characters, that's right.
Business as usual.
From the National Center for Infectious and Respiratory Diseases, represent a very biased viewpoint, Hooker said.
CDC's culture is vaccinology as a religion.
We saw that religion kicked into high gear with COVID.
We saw what they were willing to do if you didn't get the vaccine.
Not just the government, when it comes to forcing you out of your job, mandating that you get it, or allowing businesses to mandate that you get it.
Of course, it was extremely difficult for those in the military.
They made it almost impossible, or at least very, very difficult to avoid getting the jab while maintaining your job.
Jason Barker, of course, helped a lot of people by writing a letter that they could use as a template to craft their own to hopefully Get an exemption.
Really makes you wonder what else they're lying about.
They have this thing which is known to be a problem that they claim they removed, but secretly slip it in through the back door.
Yeah.
What other studies and things have they just blatantly lied about?
My bet is on everything.
Every single thing.
Got some comments.
KW68.
Mercury is bad.
Mad is a hatter, but go ahead and inject some.
There are big pushes to take thermostats out that had mercury, but here we are.
That's right.
Mad as a hatter.
We're all mad here.
I'm pretty mad about it myself.
Denver Attaway, best science money can prop up.
That's right.
It's all when you're paying that kind of money, you want to make sure that you're getting your money's worth.
Little Ford Schoolhouse.
Oh yes, RSB, when Michael was in the NICU, they tried to force us into it because of his heart condition.
We had one doctor tell us we were going to kill him because we refused it.
She had her assistant bring in a huge stack of papers with information on it trying to pressure us into getting it for him.
Still, after telling him no, she told us he would die because we didn't get it for him.
That is despicable.
It is utterly despicable, this doctor motivated by nothing but greed and propaganda.
You're going to kill your child.
Of course, the implication being there that you don't love your child.
Because if you did, you would make sure that they aren't going to be killed by this.
How despicable.
I have lost all respect for those in the medical field.
Your love is measured by how much you spend on big pharma for them, regardless of any potential side effects.
Just blindly spend money.
Exactly.
Just accept what the experts tell you.
Just do what they say.
They have your best interests at heart.
They would never lie.
They would never just take a payoff to push something.
And it's reached a point where it's just become a common consensus.
The propaganda is self-sustaining at this point.
Those in the medical field have always had a very large ego.
And it has reached a point where it's nearly a singularity, a black hole, where it is impossible for them to escape its gravitational well.
They are all pulled in and brought down by it.
They refuse to accept the idea that maybe they've got it wrong.
That maybe there's some other science out there, some better science that wasn't bought and paid for that shows these vaccines are harming people.
Another comment from Little Ford Schoolhouse about the doctor.
I'll never forget her.
And unfortunately, it isn't for the exceptional care she gave him.
It's because she told us we were baby killers for not getting it.
She actually told us it wasn't a vaccine, but a therapy.
That's right.
They'll lie.
They'll shift and change the terms they use to try to bully or cajole you into this.
They will engage in all kinds of fear-mongering and fear tactics.
It is despicable.
Doctors have become nothing but propaganda pieces.
RFK Jr. slams The Guardian for false claims about thimerosol and vaccines.
This is from Children's Health Defense.
In a next post, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited peer-reviewed studies, and the actual labels on vaccines counted The Guardian's Pharma Financed claims that thimerosol is safe and has been removed from childhood vaccines.
And of course, Big Pharma finances many, many news outlets.
They pay for advertisements on all the news outlets as far as I'm aware.
Fimerosol is safe, but don't worry, we've removed it when in fact it is not safe and they haven't removed it.
Exactly.
They're lying on two fronts.
They're quite capable when it comes to lying and fudging data.
But the Big Pharma funds basically the entirety of the mainstream media to some extent or another.
Anytime my wife and I take a trip, we go between here and Texas to visit family.
And so we normally stay at a hotel overnight in the middle.
I'm continually amazed by the sheer number of drug-related commercials on the channels.
No matter what you're watching, it seems like, they're pushing some kind of drug, whether it's for depression or some other issue.
Whether it's serious or minor, they've got a drug to help you with it.
And the side effects can be horrifying.
They can be terrible.
But they don't really cover them thoroughly.
They give you a very quick burst at the end, as always.
In conformance with the Pharma Finance Mantry Media's mantric ritual of dutifully parroting the propaganda trope spoon fed them by vaccine makers and their captive regulators, Guardian on Friday pronounced thymirosol, the ethylmercury based vaccine preservative safe.
It's safe, people.
The Guardian said so, you don't have to worry.
And of course, if they really wanted to claim it was safe, shouldn't they have gotten a doctor to get them a big syringe of nothing but thymirosol?
And injected one of their reporters for some deep dive, fact-based reporting.
Wouldn't that have been something?
Well, if it's safe, surely you would do that to prove your point, right?
But they won't.
Of course they wouldn't do that.
A pining under the headline, CDC vaccine panel to review ingredient RFK.
Junior has targeted for removal, the Guardian Authority assures the preservative has been deemed safe.
That's right.
Well, my dad, of course, has told you this story before, but years ago, he got contacts, and thimerosol was a main ingredient in the contact solution.
And so he would wake up in the morning, he would put the contacts in, and it would turn his eyes blood red.
It would make them very uncomfortable and difficult to deal with.
And so he went into, so he stopped wearing them.
Then years later he went to the doctor and said, you know, for an eye checkup.
And the doctor said, well, would you like contacts?
And he told him, like, oh, no, no, I can't.
Every time I would wear them, my eyes would turn blood red.
It'd be painful.
I can't use those.
And the doctor straight up told him, Oh, that was because they were putting thimerosol in it.
It was causing that reaction.
But they don't do that anymore.
They figured out it wasn't good to put that in there.
It was causing this for a lot of people.
They have put thimerosol in all kinds of things, and all kinds of things have proven it's bad in all kinds of forms.
The Guardian did not bother to cite any peer-reviewed study.
They very rarely do.
They love to make these claims.
Oh, this has been debunked.
That's been debunked.
We saw that yesterday with the vaccine claims.
They love to just state from their position on high, we've proven this untrue.
Who?
Another paid for shill?
Another bought and paid for opinion?
A study that was put forth by the company that stands to make a lot of money if their product is deemed safe and effective.
That's how it always goes.
Little Ford Schoolhouse, we got kicked out of our pediatricians too.
We actually had him for years until it came to this and he noticed all of our kids weren't up to date on vaccines.
He ended up kicking us out due to noncompliance.
Took him nearly three years to find one willing to take us.
That's right.
They'll do that because, of course, if they have a certain percentage of their clientele vaccinated, the insurance companies give them a payout.
They give them a bonus.
And if they don't meet that, they'll lose that.
So you being unwilling to vaccinate with multiple children might have been a threat to his metrics.
Doesn't matter that he's supposed to give you as a doctor, he's supposed to do no harm.
He should be willing to help anyone, any child.
You know, he's not.
He's got to make sure that he meets his quotas.
Marquee Mark NJ.
Travis, when I stayed at a hotel during a road trip, I didn't watch TV until forced to during breakfast the next morning.
There was a ton of big pharma commercials.
It's truly insane.
I would bet that the majority of the commercials on the news channels are for some kind of drug.
Just anything and everything you can imagine.
They're pushing it.
And that's how they maintain control of the narrative.
It's because the news media does not want to go against their biggest sponsors.
That's right.
Big pharma makes the news a lot of money.
This is another.
Journalists don't seem to read those anymore.
Instead, it referenced a fact-check website operated by the pharma-funded American Academy of Pediatrics.
Likewise, cites no peer-reviewed study to support this claim, or it's equally terse assertion that thimerosol has been removed from all routine childhood vaccines.
This is another tread worn lie of the vaccine industry.
There are high bolus doses of mercury in flu shots, which CDC recommends to pregnant women in any trimester of pregnancy as a routine vaccine for children at six months and in every year of life.
The flu vaccine, of course, being one of the most worthless vaccines that they'll jab you with.
If any of them are worthwhile, the flu shot certainly is not, because the flu changes each year.
It changes continually, and they just try to guess at which strain might show up.
And they're like, oh, well, maybe it's this one.
So jab yourself with this Russian roulette and see if it helps.
Between conception and age 18, a compliant American child today could get a cumulative load of as much as 500 micrograms of ethylmercury from multi-dose flu shots.
Nearly double what they were once getting from all childhood vaccines put together.
Also could the Guardian claim that thimerosol is safe.
A quick search at the National Library of Medicine's PubMed and PubChem websites nets thousands of studies on search terms such as mercury, neurotoxicity, mercury and development, and mercury and brain, and hundreds that identify thimerosol as a potent neurotoxin, carcinogen, mutagen, and endocrine disruptor.
There has never been a study that proves thimerosol safe.
These people lie and they lie and they lie as easy as breathing for them.
Thimerosol's material safety data sheet, MSDS, acknowledges that thimerosol is toxic in its nervous system and reproductive effects and is mutagenic in mammalian cells.
That exposure to mercury and thimerosol in utero and in children can cause mild to severe mental retardation and mild to severe motor coordination impairment.
The MSDS lists a grim inventory of dozens of other devastating injuries from thimerosol exposure.
In 2001, the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, NIEHS, revised its thimerosol toxicity statement, warning that thimerosol is toxic by ingestion and inhalation.
I guess not by injection, though.
Injection, you're just hunky-dory.
Pump as much of that into your children as you want.
Don't worry about it.
It makes big pharma a lot of money, so it's nothing to be concerned about.
It is your duty and your honor to poison your children for big pharma's profits.
You should be so glad to be able to contribute to their record profits every year.
It doesn't matter what happens to your children.
It doesn't matter if they are permanently damaged.
It doesn't matter if they experience SIDS and your child dies in the middle of the night because of the vaccines.
It's your honor and duty.
These people are despicable.
These are some of the most wicked people that you can imagine.
Denver Attaway, Thimerosol, calcifies the neuronal development of children's brains, limiting both physical and mental health and potential.
It is a toxin.
It is dangerous.
It is damaging children.
And they don't care.
They do it no matter what.
They push it continually.
In 1998, the FDA banned thimerosol and all-over-the-counter products, ending its use in creams, eye medicine, and disinfectants like mercurochrome.
It's ironic that the CDC still recommends its injection into babies.
A 2000 study by the National Research Council found that prenatal and infant mercury exposures cause multiple impacts to basic brain development by disrupting the division and migration of neuronal cells, as Denver just said.
Ethylmercury is a neurotoxin.
Infants may be more susceptible than adults.
We've seen that children get hit with it, and it causes all kinds of issues, from developmental issues to full-on retardation in some cases, or Death.
The Guardian is blind and scientifically baseless.
Repetition of empty industry assurances about thymirosol safety is yet another proof that journalists, and particularly science journalists, have now developed into obsequious stenographers for big pharma.
That's right, whatever big pharma says is what they'll parrot, what they'll say back to them.
Parrot back to the American people.
New study comes out.
Thymirosol safe.
Inject it into your children.
Because the company that stands to make a billion, billion, billion dollars says so.
Shelley A poison you from the minute you were born with shots, chemicals, and EMF.
Are we already transhumans?
They're already completely evil.
They're already the most despicable people on the planet.
Targeting children.
Over and over again, they target children.
CDC's new vaccine advisors vow to study cumulative effect of childhood vaccine schedule.
That's right, they're going to study it.
CDC's advisory committee began its two-day meeting today, despite a call from Senator Bill Cassidy late Monday to delay it.
Martin Kuldorf, PhD, the committee's new co-chair, opened the meeting by reassuring public the committee members will use evidence-based medicine to make vaccine recommendations.
We've seen the type of evidence these people continually point to.
The bad studies, the bad data that they'll use to push their agenda.
Are they going to use that kind of evidence?
The kind of evidence that's bought and paid for by big pharma, as we've talked about, as I've stated multiple times.
But four out of five doctors smoke Lucky Strike cigarettes.
Surely you can trust them.
Exactly.
Well, what's funny is that, ironically, America was healthier when the doctors were pushing cigarettes.
When the doctors claimed cigarettes were beneficial, somehow there were less people who were sick and sickly.
Probably not as bad as injecting mercury into your veins.
That's right.
If we could go back to the days when the doctors were recommending cigarettes somehow and stop them from pushing vaccines somehow, I think we'd all be better off.
Isn't that something to think about?
The number of vaccines that our children and adolescents receive today exceed what children in most other developed nations receive and most of us in this room received when we were children.
That's right, they're continually pushing more and more vaccines on children.
They want to up the number.
They want to hit them with more and more.
Simply for profit.
RFK Jr.
CDC vaccine panel backs Merck's RSV shot for infants.
Is this the Make America Healthy Again plan that we're supposed to trust?
More shots for infants?
Isn't that wonderful?
On Thursday, a newly formed seven-member vaccine advisory committee established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services voted 5-2 to recommend Merck's antibody treatment.
Kles Rovimab for use in infants and to include it in the Vaccines for Children's program.
That's right.
They're not reducing the number of vaccines.
They're increasing the number so far.
They're raising it.
They're giving them yet another RSV shot.
Isn't that great?
Isn't it wonderful?
Your child can be safe.
If you don't inject them with this vaccine, you're going to kill them.
They're going to get RSV and they'll die because it's incredibly scary.
It's so scary.
And you don't love your child if you don't contribute to big pharma's massive profits.
Little Ford Schoolhouse.
I still have the emails from the pediatrician telling us that it's us anti-vaxxers that make kids and others sick because of our hesitancy.
And the reason why he's so passionate about it is because his dad nearly died from the mumps.
And how can we be pro-life but deny our children the life-saving and prolonging vaccines?
He has fully bought into the propaganda.
It's amazing.
They will not consider anything else but the party line.
What they have been sold, they have fully bought in.
They go to school for many, many years.
And by the time they come out, they are incapable of forming their own opinions.
Knights of the Storm, I was called a freeloader and not a man of duty by my provider for using the COVID-19 19 shot.
They will use any tactic.
They will use any kind of emotionally manipulative or scare tactic they can.
They will bully, cajole, anything.
And it is despicable to see them try that.
They know that a lot of the people who go into the military do it because they want to serve their country.
And that that kind of language and that kind of rhetoric will immediately be very effective on those type of people.
That they will want to do their duty, what they see as protecting the nation.
It is truly despicable to see them engage in that kind of rhetoric.
It is despicable.
Well, that's the news about the CDC and the vaccines.
They're still all in on thimerosol, apparently.
They're going to look at it.
They're going to.
They're going to discuss whether or not that infants and mothers and young children should still be getting these shots, but they're still lying, whether it's The Guardian or their own vaccine companies that provide them, lying about Thimerosol, lying about Mercury, making sure that they push it on you and your kids no matter what.
Next, we're going to look at wearables.
RFK wants us all to be in wearables, to monitor us at all times, to make sure that our health is tip top.
Is that really what this is completely?
Making sure that we're healthy, making sure that we're all safe and secure.
We'll find out, but first we're going to take a quick break.
So stay with us.
I'll be right back.
PIANO PLAYS
Defending the American dream.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Welcome back, folks.
We've got plenty of comments here.
I'm Marty.
Good to see you, Marty.
I hope you're doing well.
Get your wearable Milgram experiment.
They'll be very handy to keep you in your 15-minute city.
That's right.
I'm sure it won't deliver an electric shock to you if you happen to stray from your prescribed path.
Brandon Bennett, TK Project, doing a kick tonight?
I think so.
It'll depend on whether or not I have the time, but I believe so.
So hopefully, at 5 p.m.
Eastern, we'll be here.
We'll be on the kick channel, and we'll just have some fun.
KWD68, I feel safer every day.
I'm so glad the real idea is finally implemented.
Thank you, conservative Republicans.
That's right.
Our lovely conservative party wants to track and trace everyone all the time for your safety, of course.
It's not because they're a bunch of transhumanist technocrats.
No, it's because they want to keep you safe.
How caring of them.
Isn't it wonderful?
Denver Attaway, they are pushing those aura rings.
They want you to, but the device that gathers more data to both enrich them further and enslave you further.
But they want you to buy.
That's right.
You're going to pay for some of these products.
You're going to pay a lot of money to make sure that you can be tracked and traced.
I continually see YouTubers shilling the aura ring.
Oh, it's so wonderful.
It gives me information about my sleep habits.
And the final comment, Denver Attaway, the device has cost $500 and they want you to buy it so they can siphon any and all data relevant for predictive modeling and digital twinning.
That's right.
They're going to siphon all your data.
They're going to know everything about you down to your sleep habits and make sure that they can predict everything you do.
Handy sent in a really good email last night.
It says, Travis is going to visit RFK and his wearable biometric devices.
Might I suggest taking another look into EMS Agenda 2050.
And of course, in that, this is their vision of what the emergency services will look like in the year 2050.
Wearable biometric devices are one of the central features of their plan.
In the fictional example they give here, it's Carla's earrings that alert EMS to her medical distress.
They monitor her vital signs.
They can tell that she's having some kind of episode.
It gives them her location.
And then an EpiPen is delivered to Carla via drone when she's referred to a gene editing center to address her allergies to insects.
Isn't it wonderful?
Isn't it wonderful?
Thank you, Handy.
We appreciate you reminding us of this.
This is the kind of plan that they're working towards.
You have some kind of event.
They are immediately alerted.
They dispatch a fun little drone to you.
It drops off whatever you need.
And then they refer you to the Transhumanist Gene Editing Center where they can fix your faulty DNA.
DNA that they've probably damaged through one of their vaccines or toxins in the environment are going to make money Every way they can.
Every American wearing a wearable is not a vision we share.
This is also from children's health defense.
Wireless technologies, including wearables, have clear and well-documented harms.
These devices continually emit RF radiation in direct contact with the body for long periods of time.
They also collect and share biometric data, raising privacy concerns.
And of course, we've seen these places get hacked over and over again.
Whether it's a biometric data center or something else, no data is safe.
It's amazing that children's health defense was deeply connected to RFKJ.
I believe he started it, and yet they're pushing back against him on this.
It's such a widely unpopular, obviously horrible position.
Yes.
Children's Health Defense is sticking to their guns despite that RFK doesn't seem to be.
During recent congressional testimony, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated, We're about to launch some of the biggest advertising campaigns in HHS history to encourage Americans to use wearables.
My vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years.
Now, even if we assume that RFK has the best intentions with this, let's assume that he truly does simply want the best for Americans, and he wants them to be able to see this data and see their health in real time, they will have access to it.
The government will continually know everything about you.
It'll be able to monitor your vital signs at any given moment.
And that data, of course, will be sent back and forth, and it will be up for interception by who knows who, by anyone with the capabilities to siphon it off.
And as I said, all data on the internet, nothing is truly safe.
Anything can be hacked given an appropriate amount of time and an appropriate amount of initiative.
There is no such thing as an uncrackable vault.
We're about to launch one of the biggest advertising campaigns in HHS history.
Advertising campaigns.
They know the propaganda works.
They've seen it for vaccines.
They know if they just start pushing it on people in a more concentrated way that it'll eventually take root.
They'll give you these fun little spiels.
Oh, it helps you track your sleep.
It helps you with this.
It helps you with that.
In an emergency situation, it'll alert us, and we'll send a drone to you.
Kennedy was responding to a question about whether consumers should continue to have access to wearables.
He explained that wearables allow users to constantly track in real time how food and lifestyle choices affect their health metrics.
He also claimed that wearables are key to the Make America Healthy Again, Maha, agenda.
Now, of course, I'm of the opinion that if you want one of these wearables, if you do want to continually track your data in real time and aren't upset by sending it off to someone, feel free.
I think you should be allowed to do that.
That is your data, and you should be free to do with it as you wish.
However, they're not going to explain that to people.
They're not going to give people the full rundown.
They're going to tell them about the fun little things you can do with it.
We agree that people should be able to monitor their health in innovative ways using technology they choose, but we do not think the federal government should try to push wearables on every American.
But that's what they're going to do at the HHS.
A wearable is an electronic device such as a smartwatch, fitness tracker, or smart ring worn on the body.
It's made up of dozens of sensors and wireless technologies that continuously collect, monitor, and transmit biometric and other sensitive data.
We do not share this vision, said Miriam Eckenfelds, director of the Children's Health Defense Electromagnetic Radiation, EMR, and Wireless Program.
Quite the contrary, we oppose governmental pressure to incentivize the widespread use of wearables.
They pose serious health risks, especially to children, and threaten privacy.
Wireless technologies, including wearables, have clear and well-documented harms.
These devices continually emit radio frequency, RF radiation, and direct contact with the body for long periods of time.
They also have multiple transmitters slash receivers.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular operating on several different radio bands, cumulative and long-term exposures have known significant risks.
RF radiation exposure is associated with a wide range of adverse health effects, including increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural, and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, negative impacts on general well-being.
But it's just a fun little device you can use to track your heart rate and sleep patterns.
It's nothing to worry about.
You should get it so that RFK Jr. can make America healthy again.
Isn't that right?
Now, of course, the easiest thing they could do to make America healthy again is just come out and say, vaccines are harmful.
They've been damaging people.
We're sorry.
The people who were in charge lied to you.
That would have been the biggest step RFK Jr. could have taken at the beginning of it.
Could have just come out and freely admitted what a lot of us already know.
Little Ford Schoolhouse.
Yesterday, I saw a CGM that they inject into you to monitor your blood sugar, and an app on your phone gets alerts.
It made me wonder what other kinds of information it collects.
That's right.
And of course, eventually it'll reach a point where they'll be monitoring it.
And if you're getting a little bit too much sugar, who knows?
Maybe your social credit score goes down.
Maybe the government doesn't like that and they do something about it.
It's also injections and chips and things under the skin is where they want to take this ultimately.
There's a video in the deck about that.
That's right.
I'm going to read these comments, then you can go ahead and play that video.
Doug 007.
Not knowing what their intentions are with the data collection is enough to convince me to stay away from wearable biometric devices.
That's right.
They just say they're collecting it, but they don't really tell you what they're doing with it.
It's going to be just to protect your health.
But they're probably also going to sell it because the government does sell data.
It doesn't just collect it.
We've seen that with the DMV.
They'll sell your data off to make a profit.
Nights of the Storm, wearables are about knowing your location and activities at All times.
If they cared about your health, then they would stop vaccinating people.
That's right.
Just what I was talking about.
Front porch media, they know people are waking up, so more propaganda is the losing solution.
That's right.
No truth in them, I monitor my sleep with my clock.
That's right.
You can just look at the clock and say, hmm, I didn't get as much sleep last night.
Nights of the Storm, I was pulled into several meetings at the brigade level where all the high-up leaders tried to convince me to get it.
You can only imagine the pressure that brings.
Of course, Nights of the Storm is Jason Barker.
This is about when he was in the military and they were pressuring him to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The chain of command was all in on it.
They were going to bring you in.
They were going to sit you down with a bunch of the higher-ups.
They were going to make it clear that this would drastically affect your career.
That at minimum, I'm sure, they would look at it and say, oh, well, you're probably not going to get advancement.
This is probably the highest rank you'll ever attain if you don't follow the chain of command.
I imagine that's at minimum an implication they give you.
And I'm sure they'll also try to kick you out.
We have that video ready, which we're going to play now.
Now, why is data so important?
This is Yuval Harari.
It's important because we've reached the point when we can hack not just computers, we can hack human beings and other organisms.
Now, what do you need in order to hack a human being?
Well, you need a lack of ethics.
You need two things.
You need a lot of computing power and you need a lot of data, especially biometric data.
What we have seen so far is corporations and governments collecting data about where we go.
What movies we watch.
The next phase is the surveillance going on.
The most important development of the 21st century is this ability to hack human beings, to go under the skin, collect biometric data and understand people better than they understand themselves.
This, I believe, is maybe the most important event of the 21st century.
By hacking organisms, elites may gain the power to re-engineer the future of life itself.
Because once you can hack something, you usually also engineer it.
So far, we have discovered that 0.3% of complex life on the planet.
Think what will we achieve, what we will achieve when.
And it is a matter of when.
We understand one or two percent, let alone five or ten percent.
Science is replacing evolution by natural selection with evolution by intelligent design.
That's right.
And they're going to be the intelligent designers of some government.
They're going to evolve the human species to be the ones who are of our clouds.
The IBM cloud, the multi-flying cloud.
These are the new drive of evolution.
The book.
And at the same time, science may enable life after being confined for four billion years design.
And the intelligent design of our clouds.
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.
And at the same time, science may enable life...
I'm going to hop out.
After being confined...
We've got another clip of RFK Jr. that I want to play before we get to Jack Lawson.
I also want to cover the story.
So we've got about 10 minutes to play this clip of RFK Jr. and then get to the would-be serial killer before we're joined by Jack Lawson, where we're going to discuss the civil defense manual and the insanity of our times.
Here's that clip of RFK.
There's a physical activity about the way that they live their lives.
We think that wearables are a key to the Maha agenda making America healthy again.
And we are going to my vision is that every American is wearing a wearable within four years.
Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
Following up.
That's right.
RFK Jr. on the same page as Yuval Harari.
I wonder how that happened.
I wonder why.
Of course, RFK Jr. pushing it from the we're going to make people healthy angle.
But I think Yuval Harari is a bit more honest with his goals.
He wants to play God.
He wants to sit in his palace and decide on where evolution will go next.
Of course, I don't believe in evolution, but they do.
Not by some God above the clouds, but by us in our ivory towers.
We will look down upon the masses and we will decide what is best for them.
Not just in what they can eat, but in how they can evolve and what they will change into.
We will control all manner of human destiny.
Science fiction is becoming science reality.
As I said, we're going to move on from that because we've just got a little bit of time before we're joined with Jack Lawson.
The front porch media, AI doctors need data, don't you see?
That's right.
It'll be continually shipping your data off to some giant AI-scanned data bank.
And they'll send you recommendations constantly, little updates on your health and what you can do to improve it.
I'm sure they won't do anything else with it.
Big Daddy Kane.
Hi guys.
Sorry.
Have not been on much due to work.
Can anyone give me an update on how David is doing?
Please.
Yes, Big Daddy Kane.
He is doing better.
We ask that you continue to pray because the main thing is that his speech is still a little impaired.
He sounds much better, much clearer than he did when he first came home.
And his physical ability is much improved, but please keep him in your prayers.
We ask that.
We'd love for him to be back in the seat and giving you this information.
He was driving yesterday, but the main thing that is still bothering him is his speech.
Yes.
Of course, he wants to get back to doing the show as soon as possible.
Yes.
Knights of the Storm.
Remember when the school principal would say, this is going on your permanent file?
Now it's true.
And of course, that's Jason Barker.
And he's referencing the fact that the chain of command called him in when he wouldn't take the COVID-19 shot.
It's going on your permanent record.
Well, if they want to put everything on your social credit score permanent record, your wearables will have your information on your permanent record.
Exactly.
As I said, we're going to jump into this story.
We've only got a little bit of time left, but it's truly psychotic.
And I mean that in the actual psycho-killer sense.
Killer confesses to crucifying pastor in his crusade against Christianity.
The depraved depths of an Arizona man whose arrest proves the axiom that the truth is often stranger than fiction.
Adam Christopher Schieff confessed to the murder of 76-year-old Pastor William Schonman in New River, Arizona following his arrest in late April, that unknowingly put an end to a horrific killing spree he planned to commit across the United States.
Fueled by a radical religious vision, Schaef crucified Schoenman inside of his own home on April 27th as the first victim in a crusade against Christian religious leaders across the country.
Police found the pastor's body in his bed lying in a pool of blood when they conducted a welfare check at his residence the following day.
In a terrifying interview with a local media outlet in Arizona covering the murder, Schaef explained that Schoneman was only the first of more than a dozen victims he targeted.
The killer planned to travel to ten states spanning from Arizona to New York City to priests throughout the U.S. as part of a deranged crusade against Christianity.
This is we talk about things being demonic, and I do believe that it doesn't have to be something as obviously evil and wicked and deranged as this to be demonic, but this is so obviously demonic influence.
It's hard to think that anyone could not believe in demons after seeing something like this.
Shef's imposing presence immediately set the tone for the interview as he was led into the room from his prison cell in shackles to participate in the first jailhouse interview to ever be held in Coco Nino County, or is being held awaiting trial for a rash of burglaries committed across Sedona.
As he sat down across from True Crime Arizona correspondent Brianna Whitney, cameras focused on the hardened face and the soulless eyes of a cold, blooded killer with irises as black and vacant as an infinite void.
Yet what captured the most attention about the demonic aura of the fifty one year old was a prominent tattoo of the Tetragrammaton, Hebrew script for Yahweh, the God of Israel sprawled across his neck, as if it were written on a Torah scroll.
That tattoo foreshadowed the revelation of the inspiration behind his murderous mission.
Schaef wasted no time in announcing the motive behind the murder by declaring himself justified for killing the pastor Schoneman with the rationalization that it's a commandment to rid Israel of evil.
Throughout the course of his interview, Schaef recounted his plan to Whitney in a cold and calculated manner, absent of even an iota of remorse.
He revealed gruesome details about how he placed one of many crowns of thorns that he fashioned to be used in the ritualistic executions from branches he scavenged for while wandering the Arizona desert upon the head of Pastor Schoneman.
Schaef admitted that the new river pastor was the first of 14 murders he planned to commit.
The killer revealed that the number 13 symbolized each of the tribes of Israel to whom each victim would be made as a sacrifice.
Schaef stated that he marked Shonman with a leather tag inscribed in Hebrew with the name of the tribe of Benjamin.
The fourteenth victim would be made as a sacrifice to Adam, who defines as God's one and only created son and a stark rebuke to the divinity of Jesus Christ.
This man is truly demon possessed, demon oppressed.
He is doing all of this for the glory of his father, Satan.
Details about his plan unfurled further between tangents about what he deemed the fallacy of Christianity, going so far as to say there should be no church of Christ, but only a church of Jehovah.
Sheikh confessed the belief that his plan to crucify Christian leaders across the U.S. was part of a divine mission to punish them for misleading followers away from the true God of Israel.
And of course, we've seen what they mean by the true God of Israel is that you are supposed to worship Israel, that you are supposed to bow down and do whatever Israel wishes.
After murdering Schoneman, Schaef immediately traveled from New River to Sedona to complete the next two murders on his killing spree.
That stage of his plan was never accomplished, as he was identified as the suspect in a string of burglaries by police officers in the city.
Their initial attempt to apprehend Schaef descended into chaos as it soon turned into a high-speed chase that ended when the killer fled police from his car after crashing it into another vehicle.
Subsequent chase ended on foot when Schaef was incapacitated with a stun gun after running to a nearby residential area from the forest.
In custody, at least he was charged with secondary burglary, trespassing, vehicle theft, aggravated assault, and resisting arrest among other charges.
It wasn't until he was finally in custody for weeks following his April 30th arrest that details began to emerge that could allow authorities to begin to understand the evil incarnate that they apprehended.
It wasn't until after being booked into Coconino County Jail that the investigation led by Maricopa County Sheriff's Office led to Shaif being identified as the killer.
This development marks a significant step toward justice for the victim and their family.
I want the death penalty because I want to know that you can't kill God.
The Sheff pleading for the death penalty.
The murderer pleaded for it.
I want the death penalty because I want to show that you can't kill God's son.
The whole story is BS here marked for explaining how he would be forgiven for his sins, as if he was tasked with the murders by God himself.
Public spectacle Sheff has already made for himself looks to serve as the preface to a highly publicized prosecution that will only reveal more details about a story destined to captivate the public in a society transfixed by the evil he embodies.
This man is completely and utterly insane.
It is incredible the as I said, evil that he embodies, the deranged lunacy of it.
This man is truly wicked.
It is rare that we see such obvious and blatant demonic influence.
Normally it's more subtle, but sometimes it's like this.
Syrian girl, this is about the wearables of the tech that RFK is pushing.
The thing is, embedded tech can transmit signals, can also receive signals.
Think of that.
That's right.
Who knows what they'll be able to do when they push a signal to these things?
Who knows what it will be capable of altering in your body?
As I said, we're going to be joined by Jack Lawson.
Jack Lawson, of course, has written the Civil Defense Manual.
You can find it at civildefensemanual.com.
This is in two volumes.
It is a very large set of books that provide a lot of high-quality information on how you can prepare for civil unrest.
It teaches you many different things, including how to sustain yourself and how to protect your community, how to build a group of like-minded individuals that can defend your community in times of unrest.
Information that is going to be more and more necessary as time goes on.
As we've just seen with that story, whether it's the government or these crazies, you need to be able to defend yourself.
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we'll be joined by Jack Lawson.
Stay with us, folks.
Stay with us.
You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Welcome back, folks.
Joining me now is Jack Lawson.
Jack Lawson, of course, as I said, wrote the Civil Defense Manuals, Volumes 1 and 2.
You can get it at civildefensemanual.com.
Jack Lawson always provides a lot of high-quality information when it comes to being able to defend yourself and prepare for civil unrest.
So thank you for joining us, Jack.
It's always good to be on your show.
It is a pleasure.
You've got the golden voice.
It must be in the DNA of your family.
I appreciate it.
Well, technically, I'm adopted, so it must be contagious.
It must be something that he admits, you know.
Yeah.
Well, well, rubs off on you, you know.
Exactly.
Well, as I said, you wrote the Civil Defense Manual, Volumes 1 and 2, and these are very large books.
So we're not going to be able to cover everything that you have in here on this interview, but we always enjoy having you on because your perspective on things is very valuable.
You've, of course, been in a lot of dangerous areas and desperate times yourself.
So I just want to give that preface to the audience before we get into it.
But you've sent us a clip here, and before we play it, would you like to preface it for the audience and give them a little bit of a rundown?
Yeah, Travis, I'm not here to brag, but to give people a perspective of what's in this book, from my experience and my knowledge, my background was a little diverse, so to speak, as far as the military goes.
I was in the United States Air Force.
I was an electronics specialist, dealt with ground-air missile.
And as part of that, I ended up being trained, went to nuclear warfare school, and was trained in arming and disarming the W-40 thermonuclear warhead, which was about 10 kiloton yield at that time.
One of the old dirty bombs.
Then I also ended up in Africa.
Don't ask me how, there's too much of a story, but I ended up in Africa and I ended up in the Foreign Legion in an anti-terrorist rapid response unit.
It was a helicopter and airborne.
Went to parachute school in South Africa.
I've been in a lot of countries over there, legally and illegally.
And the long and short of the thing is I was involved in a very nasty communist insurgency In Africa.
It allowed me to see up front and firsthand what communism is about.
So that, and in addition to that, after I came back to the United States, I was the member of one of the largest police boards in the United States when officers used deadly force.
I was one of the judges that reviewed everything and saw whether they had provocation and just cause to use their firearm vehicle or whatever they were doing to try to defend themselves or were involved in a shooting.
So anyway, that's some of the background on it.
I just have to tell your people in your audience, my experience in Africa led me to call it the continent of the apocalypse now and the land of blood and tears because it's unfortunately, I don't think it's going to change much.
Probably, you know, next five decades, it'll be the same.
It's just, it's horrible what the people go through over there.
They talk about white colonizers.
Well, the blacks are worse are their own people than the whites ever were.
So anyway, that's some of my background.
Yes.
Thank you for that, Jack.
We appreciate you giving us that rundown.
But we've had quite a few different people on from South Africa.
We've had two separate pastors on, and they've talked about the ongoing horrors that they're dealing with there and the levels of violence and brutality that they see regularly.
And it's truly heartbreaking that they're going through that there.
But as I said, we've got this video clip here, which we're going to play for the audience now.
So here we go.
Dairy Queen Dogs, certified.
Hello, folks.
Jack Lawson here.
The world's ready to be turned into a blackened cinder orbiting the sun.
Again, people are talking about dropping nuclear bombs here, nuclear bombs there.
I used to sit on those things on the bomb case arming and disarming them.
My butt still glows.
I want to show the world an alternative to blowing everything to hell and back.
We're going to show you how to enjoy life.
My two dogs, Max and Izzy, eating an ice cream cone.
Get a little levity in your life, folks.
And watch.
I can't see the video from this.
Let's do it.
Of course, I made it.
I don't know what's in it.
They're hog dogs.
Oh my god.
Yeah, that's our fifth and sixth children.
These two dogs.
Oh, I'm going to join them there.
Anyway, it's...
Is it finished?
I can't see it from here.
No, not quite.
Now it's just finished.
It says, we sell the civil defense manual only through jacklawsonbooks.com.
All right, folks, I've been given the wrong website.
It is jacklawsonbooks.com.
That's right.
I forgot that you had had an issue with the previous producer of it and you had to change the website.
But jacklawsonbooks.com is where you can get the civil defense manual.
And Jack obviously has a good sense of humor because he's not just about helping you prepare for civil unrest.
It's about being able to enjoy yourself as well.
Because if you're prepared, you can have some peace of mind in things.
You're not going to have to sit there and continually stress and worry about the fact that you have no preparations, that you have no skills that can help you in these scenarios.
So, Jack.
Travis, I just think that I didn't do this thing.
I'm 78 years old.
I didn't do this for the money.
I had a good friend, Robin Moore, who wrote 40-some books.
I met him in Africa.
And I told him, I said, well, Robin, I want to write a book someday.
And he says, oh, you do?
He said, have you ever written anything?
I said, no.
He said, well, write your epitaph.
That's the first thing you need to do.
Write your epitaph.
But he said, second thing is go out and get a good paying job if you want to be an author.
So I don't do this just for the money.
I've got children and grandchildren, and it virtually horrifies me what's going on in the country.
I don't think that this technology has done us much good.
But the bottom line is people are totally unaware of what the world is really like.
Americans here have not seen what I've seen.
And I'm not bragging.
I'm just telling you a fact that what most of the world, 80% of it, goes through day in and day out, it's a struggle, a fight, it's terror-filled, it's hunger-filled.
And Americans, like Colonel Douglas McGregor, the commentator says, are so unaware of this that it's going to be on top of them before they know what happens.
The one thing I push, I've had a lot of combat experience.
I've got a lot of information on shooting in there because firearms are the most efficient way of defending yourself.
But the biggest thing, I leave that to other guys.
The biggest thing I push is preparation and storing food and water, how to do it.
So if something happens, they'll be able to survive.
And it's amazing what has happened in the last 15 years.
The water system is just as bad and unreliable as the food system.
It doesn't take much before it breaks down.
Yes, of course, we've seen places like Flint, Michigan, where the water is completely polluted and undrinkable, but that's just an extreme symptom of the larger hole.
Just because you're not at the Flint, Michigan level doesn't mean that the government's water delivery systems aren't in disrepair in some other way.
Just because they're not actively poisoning you doesn't mean they couldn't collapse very easily.
And Of course, as they integrate more of these electronic systems into every aspect of the government and every aspect of the way that they deal with people, it makes it easier and easier for any foreign power, anyone that has nefarious intentions, to simply turn it off with the push of a button.
It's frightening.
It's frightening how fragile the system has become.
They want opened my eyes a number of years ago.
I talked to one of the head honchos of a water system.
I won't say where it was, but it was a good-sized place.
And I said, what will you do?
Not only the computerized control of it, what would you do if the municipal water system didn't have chlorine or didn't have filtering materials?
And the guy said, we shut the water off.
I said, are you telling me you're going to let a 90-year-old lady die of thirst in her house?
He said, we are hampered by these things.
Federal, state, county, municipal laws.
It's against the law to put out contaminated water.
Number one.
Number two, once you put contaminated water into a water system, it's virtually impossible to get rid of the contamination in there.
There's always a residual.
So that means this.
If the truck doesn't deliver chlorine in pallets, which this guy said they came in, and they don't have it to put in water, they're going to shut the water system off eventually.
When they run out of chlorine, when they run out of water treatment chemicals or filtering materials, they will shut the water off.
And people don't realize this.
Sure, you turn your tap on, if the electricity goes out, you may have water for a while, but at some point it's going to stop.
Yes, and of course, that is one thing.
You can survive without food for quite a long time.
You'll be hungry and it'll be unpleasant, but the body can last for quite a while eating its own resources.
But without water, you die very, very rapidly.
Thirst is a much quicker killer than hunger is.
I'm not speaking as someone with experience, of course.
I've always had more than enough food and more than enough water, but this is something that has been known for a long time.
If you read any kinds of stories or accounts of people that have had to deal without food and water, it's the water that gets them first.
It's the thirst where they just can't carry on anymore.
And so being able to, and I believe you have a section up on the website for free that details how to get water.
Isn't that right, Jack?
Yes, I do.
I put that out.
I have a lot of information under JackLawsonbooks.com.
I also have a Substack account that has a lot of information on it.
It's called JackLawsonBooks.substack.com.
There's stories in there, entertaining, I hope.
The long and short of it is I got amoebic dysentery before I went to parachute school, of all things.
I got it in Mozambique, Africa.
I drank two, we had no water for a day.
And the black guys with me drank down two canteens of water.
They were used to this.
Didn't bother them one bit.
I had been over there a year.
I put what's called purifying tablets in it.
And that didn't do any good because I won't tell you what it was like by morning in my sleeping bag, but it was horrible.
I met my wife during this time and her family, and I was petrified to eat anything around her because a baby dysentery is virtually similar to cholera.
Everything just goes through you.
You die of dehydration.
There's all kinds of issues.
Anyway, there's a doctor going through parachute school with me, and he gave me his unconventional breadplug cure, which I'll spare you the ghastly details.
It was horrible, but it worked, and I finally got rid of it.
But water will, people will drink anything.
I've seen some crazy stuff, but people will drink things that you can't wrap your head around when they're thirsty.
And it does you in.
It's the quickest thing.
Three, four days and you're done.
Three, four weeks, food.
I'll also have on my website Overcoming Starvation.
It's an article written by a doctor.
I put a lot of free stuff out there.
But obviously getting the book, you get everything.
Yes, and as you said, when you're that thirsty, it's not going to be a matter of self-control.
You are going to drink whatever you have available.
So if you do not have the ability to provide yourself with clean drinking water, it will rapidly lead to what you have said.
Maybe not dysentery here in the United States.
Maybe the water is a little bit cleaner than that.
But your stomach and your body, as someone who has, you know, I myself have only ever drank very, very high quality filtered water.
And if you are to just put unfiltered regular water into it now with the bacteria that's in it, chances are you will get some kind of something, which will be very unpleasant.
So you need these skills.
And it's not just a matter of needing them for yourself, but you want to be able to help others as well.
You want to be able to provide for yourself to help others.
Or at minimum, make sure you're not the type of person that is tempted to go out and take from others.
You don't want to be the person who in these scenarios is forced to, because of your lack of preparation, steal and be put into situations where you may do terribly unethical, terrible, wicked things to someone else to survive.
You want to prepare for these scenarios so you're not tempted in that situation.
You're not put in those situations.
People would be shocked as to how many supposed prepared people don't have anything other than some real tricked out AK-47, FN and M4 assault rifles.
And one of them told me, I said, What kind of food do you keep?
And he said, I don't.
He said, I'm going to take it from my neighbors.
And I told him where we lived.
I said, they're going to hang you from a light pole and leave you to rot there as an example.
And I call these people the takers, but there's probably 50% of people in preparedness don't have enough food.
Food and water.
It's the absolute key to survival, a means to defend yourself.
And I've got the A to Z of this in my book.
I have simple military tactics in there that a group of people can defend somebody with these tactics.
They can defeat an overwhelmingly superior force as long as it's not a military trained unit and very simple techniques.
Yes, and your books quite go into a good bit of detail about connecting with and building a community that you can do this with, which is very important.
Because if you're just one family or just one man, there's a limited amount you can do.
There's only so many hours in the day.
There's only so much one individual can accomplish on their own.
Correct.
But if you're able to interface and network with your neighbors and friends and community who are nearby, it expands exponentially what you are able to accomplish.
Well, correct.
Travis, the very first story I put in there is by one of the most famous of the survivalists.
And I'll say survivalists, there's preparedness people and survivalists.
Preparedness people look at a short-term disruption of things, and so they have some food and water.
Survivalists look at a continuation that virtually doesn't end.
This guy, Selco, S-E-L-C-O, I recommend people look him up on the internet.
He went through this firsthand.
If you read in there what he went through, you will know that you need to get your neighbors to help you because the best armed, the best defended, fortified houses with the best dogs, they were taken out right away by groups of people.
Their neighborhood got together, and that's anybody came down their neighborhood with guns, they met a barrage that turned them away, and they decided to go some other place.
Very first story in there.
Yes, you don't want to be on your own in this kind of scenario.
You don't want to be besieged in your own home.
You know, it's nice to have a fortified area you can retreat to if necessary.
But as a general rule, there's kind of one way that sieges end.
When there is a catastrophic event, and I mean, I divide disasters basically into two categories.
The most common one is an area emergency.
That's where things are disrupted for a while.
But outside help, outside assistance comes to rectify it.
The second and the worst one is catastrophic event.
That's something like the electrical grid going down.
If it goes down, you got a major problem.
People can survive an area emergency, and they can survive a catastrophic event.
But if you don't have food and water, you don't have anything.
Yes, that's a, again, as you said, we see these guys where their entire plan is like, well, I've got a lot of guns and I've got a lot of ammo.
And, you know, once this happens, I'm just going to take whatever I want.
And those types of guys, eventually, you know, it doesn't matter how good you are with the gun, if you continually engage in this kind of high risk.
And of course, evil behavior.
You shouldn't do that, but it's incredibly high risk.
And risk mitigation is incredibly important in general life.
But when you're dealing with this kind of scenario, risk mitigation becomes exponentially more important because there's no health care.
There's no going to the doctor if you receive a minor bullet wound.
If you don't have things to prevent infection, that's going to take you out very rapidly.
You don't want to be engaging in these high-risk behaviors in this sort of scenario, especially.
Even just from a pragmatic standpoint.
Even if you don't care about the morality of stealing from people and hurting the community, it's simply a bad idea because it will very rapidly lead to your demise.
Morality and ethics and consciousness will go out the window when you've got to feed your family.
That's the bottom line.
I often tell people, my wife from Zimbabwe, Africa, she's British, comes from a well-to-do family.
I have a story in a book called The Girl at the Gate.
There was wholesale starvation in that country.
She went back, got her mother out of there, got her down to South Africa, where at least they had food at that time.
And they had gate guards and bodyguards.
And the gate guard comes to her one day, my mother-in-law was gone.
Her mother was gone.
Madame, there's a little girl at the gate that wants to talk to you.
So my wife goes down to the gate and she opens the gate and the guard standing there ready to protect her.
And there's a little 12, 13-year-old girl, totally skin and bones, emaciated, filthy, filthy dress on.
And she said, Madame, do you have anything to eat?
And my wife, being the compassionate soul she is, broke down crying, went into the house, made her a big sandwich And gave her a bottle of water.
Well, the next day, there were 200 people there.
So, if those people, most of them are almost dead, if those people had the strength, they would have broken a gate down, and there would, my wife wouldn't be here.
They would have killed for the food.
They didn't have enough strength to do it.
And the police kept a heavy hand on everything over there then.
But these are issues that people have to deal with.
I try to, I'm not trying to be someone's moral compass, but I try to get people to understand what to do in those situations.
Yes.
It's in the book.
I put it in the book.
I put everything I can get a grip on that people need to know from my experiences, what I've read, and especially being in Africa, I put it in there to try to give people an idea what to do.
Yes, because, again, as you said, if you don't have any idea, it will very rapidly become a deadly scenario for you.
If you're not prepared, then there's really nothing you can do.
It's too late once the event happens.
Once you're already in it, you know, there's no going back.
There's not a, oh, well, I'll just, I'll go to YouTube and I'll watch a video on how to prepare myself for this.
Yeah, see if you can get AI to make you a sandwich.
Exactly.
I mean, it's so ludicrous.
I've gotten so disgusted with my fellow Americans and the general illusionary life they live in, mostly because of iPhones.
I got rid of mine, went back to a flip phone, but we were in a major city.
I have to tell you this, this is crazy.
We're in a major city and there was a I hate, Trevor, I hate going shopping with my wife in the mall.
But we were down there in business.
She had to have another pair of the perfect pair of pants.
So we went into, I think it was Dillard's.
And I told her, look, I'm going to sit down in a chair and sleep while you go shopping.
I mean, I've walked 100 miles in the bush, and it's not as brutal as walking 800 yards in a mall.
So I'm sitting in this torturous designer chair.
I've got my Special Forces ball cap pulled down over my head.
And I hear this blood curdling scream.
I don't know how long it was.
I'd been snoozing, but I heard a blood curdling scream.
And I got up, and the guy next to me got up, and we went over and we determined it was coming from the top of the escalator.
Escalator stopped.
For whatever reason, this kid went back and sat down.
There was a lady up at the top of a relatively obese lady that was screaming and making animal-sounding noises.
It was horrible.
So me, 76 at the time, I took two steps at a time, got up there, did three things.
I always do.
I looked to see what danger there was to me.
I looked at what was going on.
I looked what I could help.
And this lady had the Versaas handbag and the diamond studded leash and probably a $10,000, $40,000 nose ring.
It was huge.
I think it was real, too.
And she was screaming.
And I told her, I said, look, shut up.
She had a little dog.
And she thought this dog could walk up the escalator.
It got his foot caught in the end.
Poor thing.
I was pissed that she was so stupid that she thinks she could do that.
And so I told her, I said, look, hold your dog's mouth and see if I can get his foot out of there.
Now, there's 35 people standing around there.
Two of them are small security people.
Nobody's lifting a finger.
Nobody's doing anything except making strange noises.
This is what you look forward to when there's a catastrophe is what I'm trying to explain.
The long and short of it is, I had my, I always carry a couple knives on me.
I fried the escalator far enough apart, and I managed to get the dog's foot out of there, and I tied one of my handkerchiefs around it, and the little thing was scared to death.
And this black lady that had the dog was so profusely apologetic and gave me a big hug.
And when I bent over to pull my knife out, I had my concealed weapon on me.
And of course, it was in my belt and my jacket went up over it.
And now nobody's doing anything.
There's about probably 40, more people coming all the time because of all the noise that was going on.
And a big crowd.
So anyway, I'd take and bend over in my firearm shows.
And there were, well, there were two people doing something.
Two of them were videoing all this stuff on their camera.
And one of them said in this nervous, shaky voice, he's got a gun.
I was so furious about this, but I was a death-defying green beret with my hat on.
So it kind of got to be doing a good deed.
So it got to be a moot issue.
But people are unable to respond.
They don't know what the difference between illusion and reality.
A lot of the people in these metro areas, they just don't know.
They got their nose in their iPhone so much, they don't know what's real and they don't know how to handle or react to an emergency situation.
And that's so unfortunate because if we do have a catastrophe in this country, it's exactly what's going to happen.
People aren't going to know what to do.
Yes.
Well, in my neighborhood, because we're all organized.
We're ready to rock and roll.
Exactly.
You need to have some level of preparation.
Us in the West have been very, very fortunate that we have been shielded from the horrors that Go on in the rest of the world.
Even in World War II, thanks to our geographical location, our distance from the people who were largely engaged in the conflict, whether it was Germany or Japan or Russia or any of the other smaller players, we were a bit too far away for them to really reach out and touch us at that time.
But the technology has increased to the point where if we are to engage in a war on the other side of the planet, they can now affect us here.
It is not, a distance no longer protects us from the rest of the world.
If we engage with Russia or even Iran on this level, there's a very good chance that they can launch a missile.
They can impact us directly, or they can put sleeper cells in, if it's Iran or Russia, that can target our grid in very nefarious ways.
You know, even if it's something as simple as taking out power line transformers, if they do that enough times in enough sequence, there's only so many people that work on the power lines.
There's only so many people they can have out repairing these things at a given time.
So it becomes a very, very difficult thing to combat this kind of guerrilla tactics when it comes to protecting our infrastructure.
We have been very, very fortunate and very blessed to not have to deal with it.
But those days are behind us.
We're no longer safe because of, you know, well, travel, it's hard to get here.
it's not that difficult anymore.
So if someone really...
We've got oceans on both sides.
We've got the Canooks up north.
They don't really like to fight that much.
We've got the Mexicans down south, good, hardworking people, most of them.
The long and short of the thing is now, they can, just like you say, they can reach out and touch us.
They can shut our grid down electronically.
I mean, what was it?
Some scientists recently found a back door in the Chinese solar panel chips that they can electronically from anywhere shut these things down.
And that's frightening.
Michael Yan and Matt Bracken have estimated, and I've talked to Matt quite often, but they've estimated there are four divisions.
A division in regards to the number of people is 10,000 people.
There are four divisions of military-age Chinese males alone, just Chinese males.
These aren't all the other countries that hate us.
You know, we've been slapping goatherding countries and banana republics around for so long that people don't realize.
Go out in the world like I did.
Sit in somebody's house out in the boondocks and eat.
They're very polite, but they don't like Americans.
So they spend their time putting the best food out and trying to be, you're their only guest and trying to be polite so they can tell you the truth of what you're doing from America.
And it's amazing.
I've sat in Muslim homes.
It's amazing what these people say.
And it's not a religious thing so much.
They don't like what we're doing.
We go in.
Hell, my son was in the Marine Corps over in Croatia and called me one day.
I was in the gym and I stopped to talk to him.
I said, what are you doing, Jason?
He says, well, I'm painting an orphanage.
And he said, first, this is before he went into Iraq.
He said, first we go in and we bomb him into a parking lot.
This is the Kosovo area.
And then we go in and paint their orphanages, you know.
And it was a lot of truth in what he said.
And my son saw a lot and did a lot over in Iraq.
And don't talk to him about how necessary these wars are.
He just saw it firsthand.
They're forever wars.
People don't like Americans because of this.
We've engaged in this swaggering bullying foreign policy.
Bullying.
You just said it.
That's the word I use.
There's good military people.
They've got good hearts.
They're compassionate, but they do what they're told to do.
And the guy is dropping a bomb that's killing 50 people, he never sees that.
The guy in the ground usually doesn't see it.
But when you do see it, Makalian's got a picture of Dying Pharaoh.
And I look at that picture and it breaks my heart.
It's an American soldier killing a girl, probably four years old, five years old, and she bled to death.
But he's trying to get her to safety.
And it's just heartbreaking.
I've seen this in Africa.
It's just, it's horrible.
It doesn't leave you.
But Americans don't know this because they haven't.
A lot of them that are making these liberal statements and whatnot haven't been more than 500 miles from home.
Yeah.
And they can't tie their shoes either.
They have no real world skills.
There's a lot of good Americans, but we think that we're the savior of the world.
Read Confessions of an Economic Hitman, and you'll see what I could not believe that book because pieces fit together for me from that book, things that I've seen and been involved with.
Interesting.
Yes.
The American people have largely not seen the results of the American foreign policy.
They see the highlight reels on CNN or Fox News, and they see the good stuff that the American military does, like your son painting an orphanage in Kosovo.
That is a nice thing to do.
That's wonderful that they engage in that.
But they don't point out the fact that the reason it's being painted is because it's new, because the other one got blown up when they dropped a bomb in the wrong area.
They don't see that kind of headline.
They don't figure that out.
And they don't realize that this is leading to a lot of resentment around the world.
They'll freely point out the fact that, oh, our leaders are clowns.
Donald Trump, no one respects him, which is true.
But it's not simply a dislike of Donald Trump because he's a clown of a human being.
It's because we've engaged in, as I said, this swaggering, bullying foreign policy, which has real world consequences for the people on the ground, whether we're imposing sanctions on countries and causing their children to starve To death, or we're actually going in with active military and destroying their infrastructure.
It has been a long-term policy of the United States.
We've got some really good comments here from Lance and from the listeners as well.
Lance, of course, being my brother who runs the board.
Let me just say one thing.
I disagree with you that Trump, the term clown, whatever you want to think of the man, he's eccentric, he's erratic, and he doesn't play by the rules the rest of these jokers play by.
So he does disrupt things.
But as far as I'm concerned, I don't idolize anybody.
As far as I can concern, he's the last hope that we have to get something done and reverse what's going on in the country.
I think he's trying to do it.
Obviously, he's getting pushed back from every direction.
I definitely agree with you.
They are pushing back on him.
And I hope you're right.
And that's one of the things that I appreciate.
You're willing to come on the show.
We don't agree on everything, but we're still willing and able to have this conversation about things that are truly important.
It's not about whether, you know, I support Trump fully or you support Trump on this or that.
It's about these books that you have written that are very important, about these scenarios that can come to pass, which I do appreciate.
And as I said, we've got some great comments here.
You know, if you're a survivalist, you're prepared for anything, including a long-term grid down situation, and you'll be okay in a total disaster.
Whether it's Palestine, Ohio, or Flint, Michigan, if you've prepared, you're prepared for the government just not repairing the systems or if something actually happens to take it down further.
So there's always a good reason to prepare.
Because even if an attack doesn't happen, even if someone doesn't come in and blow up the system, there's always just the chance that the government isn't capable of fixing it.
They lose the ability to maintain these systems sometimes or they lose the will.
And so if you're prepared for a grid-down scenario, you're prepared for the government to just be ineffective as well, which is an important point to make.
Are you still there, Jack?
Ah, there's so many aspects, so many facets of this.
Much of what anybody will tell you to do in any situation is what I call from a perfect world.
I mean, I've learned a lot in a lot of different places.
The only thing I can tell people is this.
If you're in a place like Palestine, the Palestine, Ohio thing, I feel for you.
And that's the one situation in my book that I recommend people do what's called bugging out or getting out of Dodge.
Otherwise, I believe you have far more resources in your neighborhood if you've stored food, water, medicine, and at least talked to your neighbors and have found out whether they're willing to use force of arms to defend the neighborhood.
It goes further than that.
It gets into tactics.
And I'm not advocating people arm themselves to the teeth, have food and water, and hold commando training drills in their neighborhood.
Getting to know your people in the neighborhoods is a big thing.
Selco in the first story in that book, which is a real eye-opener, found that they had to get to know their neighbors very quickly.
They have, I think, 11 houses on their street, and they never really mingled.
Americans don't either.
We live in a garage door community.
We come home, raise the garage door, drive the car in, lower the garage door, go in, watch TV.
Some people don't even know their neighbors' names.
I'm a farm kid from Minnesota.
So I do what we used to do back there.
I got to know our neighbors.
I know our neighbors.
Every place I've lived, I've known all of our neighbors.
I've gotten along with every one of them, except one guy from California.
But he was very, look, I know being an American in Africa, it sounds like, oh, the guy must be a white supremacist.
I come from a multiracial family.
I've got blacks and Orientals and Caucasians in my family.
Are we woke?
Not really.
I mean, if you're a dumbass, excuse my French, that's what you are.
If you know how to do something good, we will commend you on that.
But we sat down.
There's 55 in my family.
I got a big, my own family.
Blood is 11 people.
And when we have a get-together, it's crazy.
We have a lot of fun.
They're good people.
But unfortunately, I think about three of them have gotten so highly educated, they've turned into communists.
You know, they got PhDs and all this, but they've never been anyplace.
I remember when I came back from Africa, I got in an argument with one of my sisters.
I said, where did you hear that?
I read it in this book.
She pointed over to a bookcase.
It was about Africa.
I said, oh, that's interesting.
Well, I lived there.
And she still was adamant that what was what in that book and American history, American version of history in Africa is largely fabricated.
It's BS.
You've got to get into the archives of the Spanish, the British, the Portuguese, the Italians, the Germans.
They ran Africa.
If you want to know what really happened there, you have to read those.
And I haven't read them, but my dear late friend, Colonel Either Green Beret, who taught at Conventional Warfare School, Sully DeFontaine, who our Special Forces chapter is named after, he read all these.
He knows every language in Europe.
And he read these, and he was telling me when I wrote his book, he said, this is fabrication.
And it's unfortunate.
But I don't like the overt racism.
You know, it's tough getting along with my family.
It's bad enough.
The world goes through the same thing.
Yeah.
As you point out, a lot of these histories are just fabrications.
And it's easy.
When you think about the fact that what we see today on the news, how readily they fabricate things, there's no reason to assume that they haven't been doing that for years upon years, decades, hundreds of years.
So anytime you read something and it's this idealized, perfect utopia until someone showed up and ruined it, take that with a grain of salt.
It's just, they lie about everything and they've been doing it for a very long time.
We've got a comment here from Will to Box.
He says, buy rat traps.
Easy eating.
Well, if you're...
More rats for you.
I won't take any of your rats.
You can have all the rats.
That's funny.
I like that.
That's good.
People have subsisted on those.
We've got another comment here.
You're wrong there from Knights of the Storm.
The good thing about a black powder rifle is that you can produce your own ammo if you know how.
I should get at least one for my collection.
That's right.
Black powder is a lot more easy to produce than gunpowder.
I don't know the steps myself, but I do know that gunpowder requires a lot more refinement than black powder does.
So that's a good point to make, that if you have the skills and the setup, you could refine your own black powder and continue to have resources.
Yeah, that's a good point this guy makes.
Also, a guy told me, I said, well, what do you have farms?
He said, I have crossbows.
He said, I can have a truckload of arrows, and a year later, I'll have a pickup truckload of arrows.
He said, if I, you know, unless I'm crazy with them.
But I think that getting into what you just said, I think, a very intelligent guy told me a couple months ago, he said, you know, the most difficult thing in the world now is for what is to discern, to determine what is honest information, what's truthful.
Everything from videos to recordings.
I mean, they could take a picture of you and animate the thing and make a video that people would believe you could be stabbing the Pope through the heart.
And they would think, you know, it's real.
It's unfortunate, but this whole technological thing has gotten so whacked out crazy, I don't think people even see the horse for the trees anymore.
I've tried to back off of some of it just to keep my sanity.
Having 55 kids, and I think Uncle Jack's a cat's meow.
They want to tell me they're going to lunch.
Well, they're in Minneapolis.
I don't really care if they're going to lunch.
Hope to have a nice one, but I don't want to know about it.
Have my phone chiming every two seconds.
That's right.
So many people are just overloaded with information.
And you have access.
Travis, that's so true, what you just said.
I think all the senses are so bombarded.
Just like you said, they're overloaded.
I think it's driving people crazy.
I've often wondered, I'm not a hunter myself.
I would wish I was.
I wish I had that skill set.
But so many people are so dependent on their phones and having this continual drip feed of dopamine and being just tapped in at all times.
I often wonder if they'd even have the necessary ability to just sit there and wait, if they would be able to sit there and wait for a deer or whatever it is they're hunting to come to.
That's a very good point because I'm not a hunter either.
I've done hunting.
I've shot just about everything in Africa, including, unfortunately, an elephant.
It fed three villages, but it was rampaging.
It was what's called a rogue elephant, a bull that got chased off by another bull from the herd, and it was tearing down a village, and the Africans came over and run into our base.
Ah, there's an elephant.
So we went over with a truck, and me and another guy shot it with mounted machine guns from the back.
But it was getting ready to attack our Unimog truck that was in a little truck we're in.
And we shot it, and the villages, they had it stripped and ate it.
But of all the regrets I have, I have a regret.
I don't have much regret for communists, but I have a regret for that elephant.
The elephant.
And I don't mean to be facetious about that.
But if you see what they did to their own people, anyway, I think what's very difficult is what to believe.
You hear one thing one way, I see the news, it's unbelievable.
Some of the twisted up, quadruple negative headlines they have.
You're trying to, what are they saying?
You know, it's amazing.
That's right.
There's always a spin coming from anyone, no matter where you get it, no matter how objective they claim to be.
They have an agenda.
They have their own viewpoint, which they're going to inject into it somehow.
And of course, anyone that claims to be objective is simply lying.
They're trying to make it easier for them to lie to you.
No one is truly objective.
And it's important to remember that no matter who it is.
I'm not objective by any sense of the word.
I have my own viewpoints.
And that comes across in how I talk about things or what I choose to talk about.
And you've got to remember that at all times when you're dealing with information, wherever you're getting it from.
No, that is very important.
And I think People have polarized so much that they've taken sides.
You know, going real quick over a couple of things: the troubles, everybody thinks since number 47 is in there, and Dodge has been, Doge or whatever they called it, has been in there, and they're reversing some of this stuff that the troubles are over.
The troubles in the U.S. are far from over.
Financial issues are frightening.
They can probably keep them going for a while.
Communists and leftists, I told your dad, dug in like a North Carolina tick.
And the worst part is, is the news media, which supports this woke leftist stuff, got everybody convinced it's 50% of the people in this country.
That's not true.
It's probably 15%, one five.
You know, and they seem nice.
You know, they're having a protest and Socialist of America, whatever they call themselves.
My neighbor, former communications director of a large county in California, one of the largest, just moved in.
And he was born in Cuba.
He went through the revolution down there.
His father was a university professor, wouldn't teach communism.
He also owned a general store, and he got involved with a resistance that was organizing to fight Castro after they found out Castro was going to go communist.
And he got thrown in jail, got tortured for a month, beat the holy hell out of him, and you can't believe the stuff they did.
Then he got hard labor in the sugar cane fields for a year.
Now, back at the early stages, you could still bribe people over there because that's all people did in the Batista random place.
So they bribed somebody, got his father out of there.
He couldn't do it now.
But he loathes communists.
He says they seem nice in all of their black attire and everything until they are without conscience torturing to death a 90-year-old lady.
Then they aren't quite so nice.
He said, because that's what I saw.
They were killing people that were innocent people that had simply made something out of themselves.
They didn't want to teach the curriculum the communists had.
And he said, all of a sudden, they aren't so nice.
So, you know, that's a point people have to realize.
I think, I mean, I know I've got a friend, an African-American lady, beautiful woman, got fired from her company for posting a comment.
And I was talking to Matt Bracken, and Matt starts telling me it's a bot.
It isn't even a human that found this information, looked into her, reported her company, company fired her.
There's all kinds of crazy stuff going on, but I don't know.
I try to stay abreast of it.
I actually go to two Bible study groups, and I had a friend of mine looked in my car window.
Bible?
You?
Watson?
I said, well, I go to two Bible studies.
Two Bible study groups?
What's going on?
You know, and I have to laugh because he's a good guy.
But I told him, I said, it's a fascinating story.
I'm not scared.
Everybody's tried to kill me.
I think it's probably not a threat anymore.
But people must store food and water.
That's the end of what I got to say.
That's true.
It doesn't matter.
Of course, we like gold and silver here, but gold and silver is what you will use to trade once you get past that first initial hurdle.
If you do not have food and water, nothing else really matters.
You need to be able to sustain your family and hopefully help others sustain theirs.
Build community with those around you.
Get to know them and get to a point where you can trust each other.
That's what you need to do.
100%.
100% right.
You just said it.
You just encapsulated it.
And if they read the first story in this book by Selco, the gold and silver became virtually worthless.
The food, the water, firearms.
Yeah, that made a big difference.
Yes.
As we said, we like gold and silver here on the show, but it is for a scenario where you are still able to trade with people, where it holds value.
I've got articles on my website.
I'm 100% believer in it because our currency is paper.
My wife, I keep in my office here, I've got a $100 trillion note.
It's from Zimbabwe, Africa.
Oh, well, you're a rich man.
You're a rich, rich man.
I am a rich man, yeah.
Only it's only good for wallpaper.
Well, Jack, I want to thank you for coming on.
We've got just a few minutes left, and I've got some other quick things I want to cover.
But I do, again, I appreciate you coming on.
The website is jacklawsonbooks.com, the Civil Defense Manuals, Volume 1 and 2.
Tell people to go to JackLawsonBooks, pluralbooks, dot substack, and they'll get a lot of information.
There's a lot of information there.
It's free.
Fantastic.
As he said, check out JackLawsonBooksSubstack.com and follow him there.
So thank you, Jack.
Really do appreciate it.
Get you on again soon.
Thank you, Travis.
And give my best to your father.
Absolutely.
Okay, take care.
You too, Jack.
Talk to you soon.
Bye.
Thank you.
Bye.
All right, folks.
Well, we've got about three and a half minutes left, so I wanted to make sure that we have enough time to read your comments here.
And I appreciate Jack coming on.
As I said, his books have a lot of valuable information.
If you cannot provide food and water for yourself, nothing else you do will really matter.
You'll be put into a situation where you are contemplating stealing and killing to survive, which is not something you want to do.
So to be prepared is to be moral.
It is to take proactive initiative to make sure that you do not have to engage in these wicked behaviors.
You want to make sure that you are not simply the type of person who thinks, well, I'll just take it from the next guy.
That is truly wicked.
That is evil.
Prepare yourself in some ways, whether it's getting the Civil Defense Manual, Volumes 1 and 2, that we have here at jacklawsonbooks.com, or looking up tutorials and researching things online.
There's a lot of great resources that you can find some info with.
We've got a lot of comments here.
Ron Helton 1: Every time I tried to know my neighbors, they tried to take advantage of me.
Crazy world.
Depending on where you live, depending on who's around you, that can't happen.
There's no guarantee that your neighbors are the type of people that you can build community with.
Hopefully, there is a large enough group of good people that you can kind of isolate the bad ones and you won't have to deal with them.
Angry Tiger's Den, there's not enough wild game to feed our population.
It will all be wiped out in a month.
Defied Tires despawns, exactly.
Fishing will last a little longer, but probably not much.
Well, I trust you on that, but also I think to some extent most people don't have the requisite skills to hunt, and so you won't be competing with much of the population.
Still, probably enough that it will reduce the amount of game, but I don't think most people will actually be able to hunt anything before it becomes dire for them.
I don't think they would have the skills necessary.
I'm not sure I would be able to.
So I don't think we would deplete the game as fast as that.
I don't think many people would be capable of that.
Five Tyrant 1776.
A 22 rifle is a great tool to have in a SHTF scenario, even for self-defense, if you were knowledgeable enough.
A 22 is a great caliber for hunting varmints and rabbits and all kinds of other things.
It is still a deadly weapon, and if you have the skills, can be put to good use.
Just because it is a smaller bullet does not mean it is not a bullet.
Knights of the Storm, if I had to choose only one rifle, it would be a Ruger 1022 takedown.
Put the magpul stock on it.
The front snaps into the rear, and you toss it in a backpack.
The Ruger 1022 does look really cool.
I've never owned one, but they seem like nifty little rifles.
The only 22 I have is a Henry Lever action because I watched a lot of the riflemen as a kid, and I always wanted one.
But we are almost out of time.
We've got about 30 seconds left before I throw to this interview.
My dad did with Xi Van Fleet back in 2023.
Of course, she is a survivor of communist China, and she was very, very scared by what she saw and what she sees here in the United States.
How we're going down that same pathway.
How we are turning into a communist country ourselves.
So she has a lot of insight on that.
It was a great interview.
It will fill the rest of the third hour.
Thank you all so much for joining us.
Really do appreciate it.
I'll be back Monday.
God bless you all.
Thank you.
So Making sense common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
The common man.
They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidnightshow.com.

Thank you for sharing.

Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
But he told me to get lost.
Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the DavidKnightshow.com.
And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025.
At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred.
Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.
The End All right, and joining us now, our guest has written a book, Mao's America, a survivor's warning.
And I am really anxious to talk to her because she grew up in China.
She was there during Mao's Cultural Revolution.
She eventually came to America.
And I have seen this over and over again.
You had Rod Dreyer said he had his friends' parents who had been in Stalinist Russia were getting very upset.
They said, this is exactly the same stuff we saw in Russia.
This is exactly the same stuff she saw in China.
And we need to understand where these people are taking us, and we need to understand what their tactics are.
So joining us now is She Van Fleet.
Her book is Mao's America, a Survivor's Warning.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you for inviting me.
And you came to prominence.
I mean, you were just kind of living a quiet life here in America, and you came to prominence in Loudoun, Virginia, because you were speaking out against some of the things that you saw in school.
You said, this is exactly what I saw as a child growing up in China.
This is the communist tactic.
Tell us a little bit about that.
Yeah.
Of course, that was something that I was not prepared for.
So I went to school board and thinking I'm just doing my duty and have no idea that my video went viral.
And at the same time, I was shocked to find how few people know anything about communism and fewer people know about the cultural revolution.
And that's why I say that people have no idea what woke is.
They thought it's something new.
They thought it's just, oh, the left went crazy.
But for people who experienced cultural revolution and who lived under communism, you don't have to experience exactly what I experienced, the Chinese cultural revolution.
If you live under communism, we recognize it instantly.
This is communism, Marxism.
That's what Rod Dreyer was saying.
He said the people who have lived under it, whether it was Russia or China, they can smell it a mile away because you can't not look the other direction.
I was surprised because we adopted our daughter from China.
I was surprised when we went there about 15 years ago to see all these pictures of Mao everywhere because I knew the hardships that people gone through and how many people had died, the cultural revolution, all these other things.
I was surprised to see him still essentially revered.
But we do that, don't we?
In various countries.
Yeah, and Marx, you know, the really the evil genius that his idea, a toxic ideology led to the deaths of more than 100 million people, he still has been revered by this left and by the professors and the university and the students there as well.
So yeah, because this ideology has never been public trialed and denounced.
And that is the problem.
And that's why your book is very important.
Tell us a little bit about what it was like growing up as a child in the Cultural Revolution.
Did you get sent out into the rural areas and everything as they were doing?
Yeah, it's a long history and it's complicated.
And I do my best to just make it short and still make sense.
Okay, so I was in my second semester of the first grade when Cultural Revolution started in 1966.
So I had one semester of more or less normal education.
And I remember very little, but I do remember, you know, in the reading class, we were learning sentences that just describing nature, kind of peaceful, kind of memorable and a normal kind of thing.
And then that was it.
That's the only thing I remember.
And then heading on to the second semester, that's when the Cultural Revolution started.
And pretty much immediately the school was closed because all the principals and teachers were oustered by the students because they become the target of the Cultural Revolution because Mao condemned all of them as counter-revolution, reactionary intellectual authority, meaning they were the enemy of the state.
It should be ousted.
So the students turned against the teachers and the school were closed.
Closed for me, two years.
And for other places, as long as four years.
No school.
Total chaos.
And so we as little kids had nothing to do.
So we went to the streets every day.
And then what we witnessed is the unfolding of the cultural revolution, of the struggle sessions, parade of those people being denounced.
And the Red Guards debate each other.
And pretty soon, and cancel culture, definitely, smashing of statues and taking down any signboards of stores that were traditional.
Anything that is not communist or revolutionary were all smashed and destroyed and pretty soon turned into violence.
You know, I did an interview not too long ago with an individual who wrote a book about a Project Veritas whistleblower's experience in corporation and how they were pushing this critical race theory and things like that.
And he was very upset about it.
He was black, and he was still upset about it.
He didn't like it.
And so he started taking notes and then he became a whistleblower for Project Veritas.
Then he wrote the book.
And when I talked to the guy who wrote the book with him and really for him, he was saying, yeah, you know, all this stuff that's happening, critical race theory and all the rest of this stuff, people want to call it Marxism.
It's not Marxism.
It's like, oh, it is Marxism.
It absolutely is.
And so many different ways.
I couldn't believe it when he said that.
I didn't really, you know, get into it with him because I really wanted to find out this guy's experiences.
But, you know, it really is purely Marxism.
Talk about the struggle sessions and people can understand.
If they understand some of the specifics of these things, you know, what does a struggle session look like?
They'll start to see how it aligns with what we're seeing here in the United States.
Yes, yes.
But I want to add to what you just said.
Too many people, I'm not talking about people on the left, I'm talking about conservatives.
Still, we don't have enough people who understand the nature of wokeism.
It is a pure cultural Marxism and it's pure Maoism.
And that's why I call my book Mao's America.
It is Maoism with American characteristics.
And that's why I don't like to use the term woke.
I mean, first of all, these people are not awake.
They're not conscious of what's going on.
And the people who use that term, that's another trick that they do.
They come up with their own labels for themselves and their labels for you.
And we must not use those labels because that's propaganda, too.
The CCP used the same word, woke.
Did they really?
Yeah, they did.
They did.
And in Chinese, it's called jiewu, meaning awakening inside you, a consciousness.
And we have to raise our class consciousness and see everything in terms of class.
And so anyone that somehow run against the party narrative is casted as the enemy of the state or the black class.
And you always want to do anything to remain in the red class, which is the allies of revolution.
And constantly, everyone has to raise their class wokeness or consciousness.
Now, same terminology.
People, of course, they don't know because they never learned the history.
I think it's interesting in this country, too, that they got everybody to agree with, okay, we've got the red states and the blue states.
It's like, no, the blue states are pushing Marxism, socialism.
The red states, red has always been the color of the communists, as you just pointed out.
Yeah, exactly.
And so they do that to muddy the water, to confuse people.
And you got people out there saying, yes, we're the red states.
I know.
I am so disgusted with communism.
For the longest time, I don't want to wear anything red because that just reminds me of communism, of revolution, of blood, of violence.
And then come here, okay, you know, we are, you know, Republican is red.
But then I found out the Democrats did the switch because they don't want to associate with communism, which is exactly what they are.
Anyway, so now I wear, I embrace red because now I'm conservative, stuck with the color red.
We just have to make the best of it.
I just try to avoid that term and that term red and woke as much as I can because I, and you know, if you go back and you look at Antifa, I got a friend who was in Germany, and he says, go back to the 1930s, they haven't even changed their flag.
They had the same flag in Germany in the 1930s that they've got now.
And so, yeah, it is amazing how they just import this stuff over because Americans don't know their history and they don't know what has happened in other countries.
They just swallow it, hook line, and sinker.
So tell us about the struggle sessions.
Yeah, struggle session.
What is struggle session?
And actually, I'm going a little deeper what that really means.
Struggle session is a term and use not just during the Cultural Revolution.
It started as soon as the communists took over China in 1949.
And then one of the major campaigns they launched is called land reform.
Land reform is what communists did to fulfill their promise to the peasants who support their revolution that they're going to give the free land to them.
Go ahead, that's okay.
Yeah, and I got some free gift for you here.
Okay, good, good.
Yeah, okay.
So here, listen to it.
How do you get all the peasants together and fight the landlord in order to get their land to raise the class consciousness?
Because the peasants did not know such a thing as a class.
That was an alien to them.
So they have to be taught.
And just like a DEI training.
So the communists trained the peasants and told them, you are poor, not because you did not work hard, not because you are not smart.
And we're seeing that now in terms of reparations.
Because do you agree that there they used, and in Europe they used class.
And that doesn't work here in America because nobody really saw themselves as being a different class, but they did see themselves as being a different race, a different skin color.
So that's what they focused on.
And that's why there's been so much focus on white privilege and all the rest of the stuff.
And why the reparations is really very much like the promises of land reform.
They even go back and say, well, after slavery, you're supposed to get an acre and 40 mules or something like that.
They actually make these kinds of analogies.
Yeah, same idea.
But anyway, to raise your class, to be woke, is the condition to have a revolution.
And then the peasants finally said, okay, we are poor.
They were taught they are poor because the rich exploited and oppressed them.
So now everyone knows there are two classes.
There's a black class, there's a red class, and they are enemies.
And then the goal of the red class is to eradicate the black class.
So that is the beginning of the political identity.
And that was the same that the CCP used to permanently divide American Chinese people.
Okay, going back to the, so the struggle session started in the land reform in 1949 to 1951.
The same formula, the same tactic is the landlord or the rich peasants will be struggled against like a public trial and the peasants would condemn them and the peasants were coached to retell their suffering and then blame all their suffering, all their problem to the landlord.
And then in the end, and then they will say, what we do with the landlord and our deaths to the landlord and then dragged out and executed.
And that's how it started.
And during the Cultural Revolution, the enemy has shifted.
It's no longer the landlord and the rich peasants.
They become those in power, meaning those were the CCP bureaucrats or the CCP leadership.
Why?
Because Mao feel like he was no longer in control of his party and he wanted to purge everyone.
He can't purge everyone because that will look like he was after his own party.
He had a better idea.
He mobilized all the young people from his government schools and his universities.
Those were called the Red Guards.
So they took the, mobilized the Red Guards, gave them power, pure power, and dismantled the police and law enforcement.
And no one can stop them.
Anything they do was justified.
Anything they do has no consequences.
So they went after those in power, all levels of the government, from the village to the central government.
So that is what the Red Guards did, struggle session, is I witnessed the struggle session for the governor of my province.
So because the governor was pretty tall, so they got two basketball players to hold him on the stage and so to make the governor look small.
And then the Red Guards have a loudspeaker and denounce him.
And so then people shout slogans.
And during that particular struggle session, I did not see violence, but he was beaten.
He was struggled against.
He probably went to like a hundred of this kind of a struggle session.
And his wife was also part of that struggle sessions.
And during one struggle session, they pulled the red guards, pulled all her hair off.
And eventually she committed suicide.
So that is, there was a violent struggle session that people were beaten to death right on the spot.
And there were milder, which is just verbal abuse.
That's what I looked at.
But that's not it.
It's not just struggle session is not something against denounced enemy.
Struggle session really, really means struggle against yourself.
And in CCP's word, it's criticism and self-criticism.
As a young kid, I went through, it's a routine.
It's every week there is a political study.
And then we have to read some of the Mouse quotation.
And then we carry out this criticism and self-criticism.
So each kid will say, whatever the kid did not do well enough according to Mouse instruction.
So you denounce yourself.
Wow.
And we see that today.
We see that today.
Kids have to denounce themselves because of their, you know, their gender, you know, and their normality or whatever that we would say or their skin color.
It's exactly the same thing that they did.
Yeah.
So you denounce yourself and then you denounce your classmates.
So we go around and around and around.
You say, okay, I did not do this right.
You know, of course, we did not say we have privilege.
You know, just say we were not up to mouse instruction and we should do better.
And then say, so and so that day, I saw you say this and I saw you act like that and that's not right.
So it's that is really the core.
It's not those kind of a public trial.
It is at every level, every person is involved in struggle session.
So that's exactly what we're seeing now, DEI.
You denounce your privilege if you're white, okay?
And then you swear that you'll do better, right?
And then you denounce your coworker who you heard saying this and that.
And that's absolutely the same thing.
Oh, yes.
I remember the testimony of a young girl who was pressured into gender mutilation and surgery and things like that.
And she said, you know, I got into this group because, and I forget what it was.
It was some pop group that she liked or some game that she liked or something like that.
And so it was just a special interest group.
But everybody that was in it was into this type of struggle session thing.
She didn't call it that.
But she said, you know, they were all leftist and, you know, and I was just heterosexual and I was white and I had to denounce myself to be a part of this group.
And so I started denouncing all the, it wasn't enough to just say, okay, you can do whatever you want.
I had to hate myself for that.
And I had to make these confessions to them.
That is what they're doing to all the kids.
It's amazing how they have very insidiously and subtly and undercover inserted all of these psychological tactics that were used by Mao in America.
It's amazing.
Of course, because people have no idea because they don't know history.
And people like me see through right away because it's the same, absolutely the same thing.
So you can't be just not a racist, right?
You have to be anti-racist.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
So exactly the same idea.
Yes.
Tell us a little bit about the cancel culture, of course, which is tied with that as well and the need for them to destroy statues.
We just saw this fetishized destruction of a Robert E. Lee statue and they took up a very high-quality video of them melting it down, all the rest of the stuff.
This is a very important thing for the communists to take down statues and to erase the culture that's existing there.
Yeah.
The goal is to erase past, period.
Cancer culture is really to, in China, it's called destruction of the four old.
Old idea, old culture, old habit, old custom.
Anything that is traditional, anything that is pre-communist, communist regime has to be erased, has to be destroyed.
And you start with something very symbolic, right?
Anything that everyone can see.
And then what you do?
You go and destroy the statues.
And so in China, we did not have many public statues as in the West.
Most of them were religious statues, such as in the Buddhist temple or in church.
And that's what they went after.
They destroyed all the statues, and that's not it.
They changed the names of everything that is not traditional, that is traditional, such as institution names, store names, food brand.
Sounds familiar?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
Street names.
Oh, man.
We're deep into this.
We're deep into this, aren't we?
So the four olds, old ideas, old culture, old habit.
What was the fourth one?
And old custom.
Old customs.
Interesting.
It's just the civilization of China.
Yeah, it all has to go.
Why?
Because if you want to install Maoism as the supreme ideology or the religion of the land, you have to remove everything before it.
And the cancer culture went to a next stage.
Okay, they destroyed everything in the public.
Okay.
And there were more.
They were hidden in people's homes.
And we have to go after that.
That's what they did.
They raided people's homes and took whatever they think is old, destroyed them or confiscated them.
This is the largest looting operation in the history of mankind.
Wow.
Wow.
Of course, you know, we have the IRS is going to be made five to seven times bigger, depending on which budget they go through.
And that's what I'm concerned about, is that they're going to go around confiscating not necessarily statues because people don't have that many statues or things like that on their own, but go around confiscating any physical property.
Tell us a little bit about what they did to the family, because that is a key part of this, you know, in America.
Was there as part of the four olds, would that, I don't know, would the family fall into one of these in terms of culture or custom or something like that?
Yes.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Oh, that's okay.
Take your time.
Drink something if you'd like to.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I'll cover here for you.
You said that, again, we look at things like critical race theory and stuff like that.
Again, we're talking about race rather than class.
That's the difference in communism in America versus China or Europe.
But again, old ideas, old cultures, old habits, and old customs.
And I imagine family fits in there somewhere.
Absolutely.
So for family, you don't have to guess.
You just read Communist Manifesto.
It laid out there clearly.
There's three things they want to abolish.
One is private property.
Another is religion.
Another is family.
So that is laid out there, you know, clear for everyone to see.
They have to destroy religion because in order to implement communism as the religion and be this is very, very important.
Communism is not a religion.
And even though they say they're against religion, but it is a religion.
It replaces religion.
So they have to destroy religion.
And they have to destroy family because those are the foundations Of any society.
So that started very early on, especially in schools.
And so it was very, very clear to everyone, not just to kids, but to parents as well.
The kids belong to the state.
And parents understand that.
And so if you have to choose between your parents and the state, you choose the state.
And there's no question about it.
Many kids reported their parents during the Cultural Revolution to the authority.
And some of the parents were arrested and some were executed.
It was so clear in my mind, in every kid's mind, the party was our parents.
And the chimney Mao was our parent.
And that is, if you talk to any, any people live down to communism, it is a common threat.
They destroy religion, they destroy family.
Yeah, and of course, those of us who knew about that understood and saw that when Hillary Clinton said it takes a village to raise a child.
You destroy the family, you put the children under the care of the government.
We had MSNBC running public service announcements a few years ago.
Melissa Harris Perry, I think was her name.
She've got to get over this idea that children belong to the parents.
And at that point in time, they hadn't really found something that they could use as a wedge.
Now what they're doing is they're using this transgender thing as a wedge.
And that's where it's coming in.
But it'll be other things.
You know, you'll be denounced to be transformed.
There'll be other things.
Yeah, it'll be other things.
That's just the first thing that they're doing right now.
Yeah, that was not on the horizon.
People are looking at this.
Oh, okay, fine.
The village is there.
They're going to help to do it.
But, you know, where is the conflict here?
And so they came up with a conflict.
First, they sell you the idea that kids belong to the state and to the society and to the village.
And then they find the issues of conflict to punish the parents with.
But actually, they have been doing that before transgender.
Transgender really just showcase how they are trying to cut the ties between parents and children and actively set children up against their parents.
But for decades, they have been teaching the values of communism and Marxism.
And even though that's not what Americans know about, but they have been developing the children with a new set of ideologies and created this conflict between generations, right?
And there's a lot of family, especially in recent years, a lot of families just broken up just like the Cultural Revolution, because they don't agree with each other ideologically.
And they have been doing that for a very, very long time.
And they will find other issues and they will find any issues to advance their agenda.
That means to take the children away from the parents so they control them.
That's right.
Yeah, you know, just as we saw that they used class in China and in Europe as a dividing thing, and here they use skin color.
Then I think also in the same way, this dividing wedge, I've seen this, as you talk about, this has been going on for decades, of course.
And I remember one of the first cases that I saw this is up in Massachusetts, and it was a father who didn't want his eight-year-old girl in a sex education class that at the time was not into all of these, shall we say, highly deviant sexual practices that are going on right now.
It was just straight side.
But she was eight years old.
He said, I don't think she's mature enough for this.
And they said, well, she has to do it.
So he went to school to take her out.
They arrested him for trespassing.
And the judge said, when you drop your child off at the school, you have surrendered them to the state, and we will act in loco parentis in place of the parents.
And so there's been this wedge, you know, that they've been making the wedge of the sexual wedge, they've been making it wider and wider with all the different diverse practices and everything.
But just as they began to use this wedge of sexuality against the parents and the, and this really kind of does go back even to the mid-20th century, you know, where you had the, and then following up, you know, in the 1950s, the generation gap, and then the sexual revolution, all this, they've been using the sex thing as a wedge issue, especially with the parents.
And they've really weaponized it in a very visual way, especially in just the last few years.
But they'll find other things, as you pointed out.
It always is something.
Yeah, sex was their secret weapon, but it's really anything traditional, anything kind of normal, they are challenging right now, right?
And in the communist country that we were taught, we were equal to the parents.
We can educate our parents.
So many times we were taught that we were better than our parents because we know better.
We are more updated in our learning.
And so we should always watch out our parents and make sure they are up to date with their learning.
And so, and that's why in communist countries, they worship or they give power to the youth.
And that's what we're doing now.
The young people, they know, we led to believe that they know better or they know what's best for them.
And the same ideology, the same idea that the children are better off knowing what's best for them than the parents.
That's right.
And I saw that, you know, even though I was a child at the time, you know, you could see that there was something different that had happened.
And it was really flowing out of the schools.
They used the schools even at the beginning of all this.
The idea that we've got in America, one of the things that's made us very vulnerable is we love the idea that we're constantly reinventing culture.
Our culture is very fluid.
I would imagine that in China, it was a lot more conservative And not as fluctuating as it has been in America because of the embracing of media and entertainment and of the baby boom teenagers and all the rest of the stuff.
They were able to then have this rapidly evolving culture that really kind of played into their hands, I think.
But was it more conservative in China when Mao came in?
In terms of culture and family?
Yeah, it was very traditional.
Yeah, but during the cultural revolution, everything turned upside down.
In the cultural revolution, to us, the world was turned upside down, just like today.
We're taught similar things.
I think some of them were not as extreme as what we see in America.
But we were also taught that there's no difference between men and women.
We're the same.
Whatever men can do, women can do better.
The other half of the sky.
The other half of the sky.
Yeah, like Biden told it.
And so, yeah, so we dress like a man.
We talk like men.
We think like men.
We act like men.
So if you go to China in the 1670s, you see a sea of gray.
People look like, and you can hardly distinguish the gender.
And so we were made into a genderless society.
And so Mao and always bragged that he liberated women from the oppression of the old society and of the patriarchy.
But they did not give them choice.
So they're all liberated from the household shores and their children were sent to daycare by the government.
So they were forced to join their workforce.
They become the workbee for the party.
They work side by side with the men.
So they become men.
So it's not extreme as say that the women can be men and men can be women, but it's kind of.
Same idea.
Same idea.
Yeah.
Yeah, we just add in a kind of a sexual deviance overtone to it.
But it is that radical leveling, which is another, you know, everything in communism is leveled, right?
You know, we take everybody down except for the people at top.
Everybody else owns nothing and they're happier in all that, aren't they?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, that's what I say.
Now we were taught that we're taught that we should own nothing and be happy.
In Chinese, in the communist China, in most time, especially, that we have nothing and we have to be happy.
If you show that you're not happy, if you show that you're dissatisfied, you will end up in a struggle session or in the gulags.
Yeah, that's what they're working on here.
Yeah, if you are not happy, well, you better take the brave new world approach.
You can self-medicate with drugs or alcohol or sex or whatever to just drop out of the world.
But if you pay attention and you get upset about it, you get the 1984 treatment.
And yeah, it's amazing how this is all coming around, and we're seeing exactly the same type of thing.
So what do you, you've written the book, you've gone around and talked to a lot of people and trying to wake up Americans.
Are they starting to see the light in this?
I do.
I think when I started to talk, and I remember one particular place, and I went to talk, and I talked about cultural revolution, red guards.
And I just noticed there's this kind of blank look from the audience.
And I realized, my God, they really don't know anything.
I have to start from the very beginning.
And I can't just say the cultural revolution.
What is cultural revolution?
Why cultural revolution?
What is Red Guard?
How it come into being?
And there's just too much to explain in, you know, like 40 minutes speech.
And in the process, a lot of people ask me, you know, I met a lot of people in the past two years.
And they said, you have a book?
I'm going to write a book.
And it's because that I know that I need to write this book to explain everything in more detail, how and why and where and all that.
And I hope that is going to be helpful for people to understand what the Chinese cultural revolution is about and why it's so similar to the American Cultural Revolution that is unfolding in front of us.
Yeah, you know, people talk about communist subversion, but the reason they mention that is because these people have brought the exact same tactics and plans in and, you know, pretended that this is just something that they thought of.
And if we don't understand the pattern and how this has been used and what it led to, it's going to be really bad.
Now, were you there during the period when there was a lot of starvation and things like that?
No, no.
I was born in that time and it started in 1959, lasted three years.
So, no.
So you're a child, you're not really caught up in the great leap forward type of thing, right?
No, I was too little for that.
But everybody, you know, like my parents' generation know about and stories or still alive that I know enough growing up.
But I did not understand why, but I just understood that it was a time that everyone was going hungry.
And those were lucky ones because they were in the city and they have ration.
They have ration of a certain amount of food, even though everybody was going hungry.
But in the countryside, that's where death took place.
Up to 50 million Chinese peasants died.
Wow.
It's very interesting how both Stalin and Mao use so many of the same tactics, as you're pointing out, with the struggle sessions and everything.
You know, Stalin had his purges, but then at the beginning of all this, you know, Stalin had his halometer in Ukraine, goes to the place where it's the most fertile and starves the people to death.
Mao does the same thing with his great leap forward.
And it's very troubling to see that now that we have our technocrat overlords who are saying, well, we're going to have to change the way you do food and we're going to dismantle the food supply, we're going to dismantle energy, we're going to do all this stuff.
All of that stuff seems to be, that same tactic seems to be on the horizon.
And of course, that really is kind of at the leading edge of the oppression because first you have to take everything away from everybody and do your great reset before you can impose this new system.
And I think they've got a timeline for this new system of 2030.
So I think they're going to escalate this pretty quickly.
What do you think?
Yes, I think that people absolutely need to understand this.
Communism has nothing to do with communalism, right?
Communal, we're just sharing, we're happy together, we take away private property, so there's no exploitation, we're all happy together.
Communism is all about one thing, control.
Yes.
Okay.
Control everything in people's lives.
Control what you can have.
Control where you can live.
And now we're told 15 minutes a city is where we should live.
Control what you can move during the mouse time.
They control in such a way that nobody can really move just to visit another place because they give you coupon for food and that coupon only apply to where you live.
So if you say, I'm going to take three months vacation, travel around the country, you can't do that.
First of all, you have no money.
And second, your coupon could not apply to another city.
So you cannot stop where you were.
And then how many children you can have?
Right?
When before, they want to have as many children as possible.
They follow Stalin's policy.
As many.
And then they change it.
Only have one.
If you have more, you're dragged to the hospital and forcefully, your baby will forcefully abort it.
And then what you can say, there's no freedom of speech.
Zero.
Okay.
And if you have to praise the party, you have to praise it correctly.
If you praise the party incorrectly, you're also in trouble.
And mostly, mostly, people pay attention what you can think.
So that is communism in a nutshell.
Control.
That's true.
And so people think, do you know that what you told was lie when you were in school?
How do I know?
I have no idea because all the information was controlled.
I have no idea to compare to anything, right?
It's just one version of everything, one version of truth, and it's from the party.
And one source of information is from the party media or from the school.
Everything is controlled by...
You cannot think critically without access to information.
That's right.
And that's why they're working so hard on censorship now.
It is a very insidious program.
And of course, it's interesting when we talk about the one-child policy because what China has done is that they've aligned themselves with this globalist climate movement.
And the globalist climate movement is a perfect fit, a perfect rationale for them to institute communism.
One of the clips that I've played several times is Justin Trudeau.
He was asked, what's your favorite country in the world besides, of course, Canada?
And he says, China, because I could tell everybody what to do to save the environment.
That's exactly what this is all about.
They have a rationale to tell everybody what to do, and they're going to control everything in our lives on the basis of that, including how many kids we have.
And of course, the whole climate and environmental movement was born out of depopulation and the idea that the humans are a virus and we've got to reduce humanity, which is exactly what Stalin and Mao wanted to do with their starvation programs.
There's too many people here to control.
So let's reduce the number of people here.
And as I reduce them and devastate the population in my country, I can show my authority and establish myself as the dread authority in this particular country.
It's amazing how they have followed through to the letter all of these same policies.
And it's a plan that's just rolling out to us.
And also, you know what's happening in China now, right?
They ran out of cheap labor.
They are in deep, deep trouble.
And the population is so aged.
And they really, the future is dire.
And then, you know what?
The party said you should have three.
And yeah, see, that is worse than depopulation.
In the very beginning, Stalin encouraged birth after the Second World War, right?
They have like a award to mother who have nine children, ten children, and all did the same thing.
So they control everything according to their needs.
So now they ask people to have three.
Well, that's not that easy.
You just ask and people just have three.
But they started with party members.
Party members, if you want promotion, you are required to have three children.
Wow.
Wow.
Well, that's communism.
Control.
Control of everything.
Just flip the switch and now we're going to do something completely different.
And so did you have any experience when you were there in terms of Christian persecution, the underground church that is there?
I know that's.
I had no idea what Christianity was.
That's the truth.
And so no idea because religion removed out of our lives.
The only thing that, you know, in China, the largest religion is Buddhism.
It has been Buddhism.
Okay, so there are temples and even though some of them were destroyed, but there are still some in the city.
And so, but they turned into parks.
So growing up, I go into this so-called Buddhist parks.
So I know there's such a thing.
And then we're told they're all superstitious and it's all backward and primitive.
So, I just go there and look at the Buddha, and you're thinking that's just so stupid.
They make a statue like that.
So, religion was absent in our lives.
And of course, I know better.
We had a religion, that's communism, and we had a God, that's Mao.
And we had our Bible, that's the Mao's red little book, right?
But only in the early 80s, and so I was working in the university in a college for training school teachers, and then Americans started coming in, and they want to see churches.
And so by then, some of them started to open.
And I was shocked to find there was a building that I passed through there countless times, was a church.
And so I took them there, the American teachers, and there I met a young young guy.
And so he said, I was 20 in my early 20s, and he was two.
So he said, he was Christian.
And because his parents had passed it down to them, they just do it at home.
I was like, really?
I have no clue.
I really had no clue that there was such a thing that in China, among us, there are some underground Christians.
So of course, later, you know, it opened up a little more and in the 90s and early 2000s.
And now, you know, it's crashing.
Then they're closing churches.
And then the churches that are not closed become party churches.
And if you go to some of the churches in the altar, it's a Mao's portrait and Xi Jinping's portrait.
Yes.
And next to the cross.
I've talked about that many times.
If you're going to put up a cross, you've got to put Mao on one side and Xi Jinping on the other side.
And I said, did they realize that they've got Jesus and the two thieves on either side?
I know, but so if you today, if you go to China, you can still go to church.
There are still some open.
Those are CCP's church.
Yes.
And the real church is underground.
And later, after I came out, I met more people who were part of that underground church.
So, yeah, they call it the church of the three-person self or something like that, don't they?
Isn't it something like that?
No, the three-self was a policy that installed earlier on.
And, you know, basically, they are going to make church Chinese church.
You know, and not even Chinese church, a CCP's church.
Yes, yes.
So if you go to today, if you go to, I went, actually, I checked the Association for Buddhism in China, Christianity, Catholic, whatever.
If you go to their website, the landing page is, they support the Communist Party, they support socialism, they support, forget it.
You know, they are not really independent.
And you find that what they started doing, even the churches that were doing that, trying to bow and scrape to the Communist Party, they would then come in and tear them down anyway.
It depends on what their whim is.
I remember when we were there, we were there for a couple of weeks, and then as we went south into Hong Kong and were on the train, I saw crosses for the first time.
It's like, you know, I hadn't thought about that.
I hadn't seen any churches or any crosses or anything like that the whole time we were there in China.
You know, it was all underground.
But it's pretty big underground from all reports because that kind of persecution really grows a church.
And it grows real strong church members who they're not going to be coming for the ice cream social.
That's just the way they're there for it because they're really serious about it.
Well, I tell you this.
Yeah, that's another thing people should know.
Under communism, there's absolutely no freedom for religion or faith.
Yeah.
Well, I think they're right to understand that the church is their enemy because I think that is the most effective guerrilla organization to oppose this kind of authoritarianism.
Christianity was the roots of our liberal society in the West, and it's going to be the way that they're going to uproot the communists from the ground up, I think, in that country.
But, you know, when you're talking about the fact that even they wanted to control what you think, that was when Rod Dreyer was talking to people who had come from Russia and places like that.
And in the tradition of Solzhenitsyn, he actually named his book Live Not by Lies, because that was an essay by Solzhenitsyn.
That's what they want you to do.
They want you to, as you point out, as a child, you're given one source of information, and that's just the way that it is.
And so you just go with that.
But for the other people, and if you come up with something, eventually they're going to come to you and tell you that they want you to repeat 2 plus 2 equals 5.
And if you don't.
Until you believe it.
Yes.
Until you believe it.
Exactly.
And so that's the thing.
It's about breaking your will to eventually come in.
And I think that's another aspect of what we see with this gender stuff.
You know, you have to, regardless of what you actually see or know or whatever, you've got to deny that and go with what they say is real.
And so that's the key thing.
And that was the one thing that Solzy-Nitson saw that's the common thing amongst all these different totalitarian societies is that ultimately you're going to have to bend your, what you know is true is going to have to be bent to what they want you to say just as a power exercise.
And we see that happening now in the United States.
And that's why it's so important for people to say, nope, I'm not going to go there.
And understand where all of this is coming from.
All of these things, as you point out, Mao's America, warning America of the fact that this is a plan.
It is an agenda.
They've executed this plan, and it's going to be so much worse for us because now they have the leverage of technology that Mao didn't have.
And also, just this morning, I watched a clip of the interview by this guy, George.
He used to be the Clinton's advisor, a Greek link.
I can't remember right now.
George whatever, Collaplus.
Oh, Stephanopoulos?
Stephanopoulos?
Yes, and interview a Congress member, and he just keeps doing that.
Can you say that 2020 election is not stolen?
And then when he was talking about something, he bring it back, he brings it back, he brings it back.
Can you say, yes or no, it is stolen?
That's exactly the same tactic.
Struggle session.
Can you say this man is standing in front of you that he is a woman?
You have to say it.
Can you say it?
Say it now.
Same tactic.
It's a struggle session, isn't it?
Struggle session.
Yeah, it is time for us to struggle against these people.
And you have to, people need to understand, that's why your book is so important.
People need to understand the tactics.
This is nothing new.
There's nothing new under the sun.
You know, Solomon was wise enough to say that.
And, of course, this kind of stuff has been going around forever.
But it has been honed into a fine tactic of psychological manipulation by the communists.
And now what they're going to do worldwide is take that tactic, that agenda that you lay out here that Mao did, and they're going to wet it to modern technology to give them more leverage on people, I think.
Just realize they have established the truth, right?
The climate is changing and they're going to destroy the earth if we don't do anything.
Otherwise, we're a denier, denier, denier.
And that is exactly what Mao did.
One truth.
And everyone has to go by it.
And if you question it, you're an enemy of the state.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, we see that over and over again.
It is so important for people to see this.
Again, the book is Mao's America, A Survivor's Warning.
Best place to get that anywhere the books are sold, or do you have a website that you'd like to, that you sell it at directly?
No, I should have.
I don't.
It gets you a little bit more money.
So I always want to offer that to authors because I know that they make a little bit more money if they sell it direct.
But again, Amazon, anywhere that books are sold, Mao's America, a survivor's warning, very important.
Thank you so much for speaking out about this and telling people this and speaking out in these, you know, the beginning of the struggle sessions that are there.
Thank you so much for a message that is so needed and a historical context and perspective that is so missing in America that people can find in your book.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
She van Fleet.
Thank you very much.
We'll take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
Stay with us.
