Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to American Journal.
My name is Harrison Smith.
Very, very happy to be back here today.
And big thanks to everybody who helped fill in while I was on vacation.
Christy, of course, did an excellent job.
And we've been, well, running around like chickens with our heads cut off here at InfoWars as, you know, the FBI arrests our hosts.
Just chaos abounds, but very good to be back in very many stories we have to cover for you today.
A lot of videos to show, and of course, we will be taking your phone calls, all of that and more still to come in today's program.
But first, I want to go to this video.
It's the treasonous propaganda holdouts, and it can be found at InfoWars.com and Band.Video.
John Bowne, the treasonous propaganda holdouts.
Here it is.
jon bowne
While the Mockingbird media implodes over Biden's Afghanistan disaster.

I heard President Biden say yesterday in his comments to ABC News that this is not a failure.
And I think a lot of people outside that airport, particularly those taking the kinds of extreme actions we're just talking about, would like to know, if this isn't failure, what does failure look like exactly?
Mr. Ambassador, thank you for joining me, sir.
You know this territory very well.
Is President Biden right on this?
The question of leaving is one thing, and that's an arguable decision.
But the manner of believing has been an absolute disaster, totally lacking in planning, executed faster than it needed to be.
And in doing so, psychologically destroyed the confidence of the Afghans.
They feel that the rug was pulled out from under them.
You hear criticism from the Brits, from Germany, from France.
And that is really hurting American position overseas.
And these cables, the dissent memo and these cables now from the Afghan employees at the State Department we've got in the last 24 hours are devastating.
We have destroyed morale.
jon bowne
Those addicted to the lie are dancing in the streets while thousands of Americans are trapped behind enemy lines.
unidentified
And we're so tribalistic as a country, it's hard for somebody to imagine a Republican saying everybody's responsible.
But let's keep in mind, Mike Pompeo met with the Taliban.
As Donald Trump was publicly saying, we have to get out of Afghanistan at all costs, it's not worth it.
Mike Pompeo meets with the Taliban and tries to negotiate something.
By the way, they ended up getting rolled harder than never, almost as bad as Neville Chamberlain, because they knew what the desired outcome of the Trump administration was.
So they set this up to fail.
jon bowne
But those who live by the propaganda will die by the propaganda as Brian Stelter's wrong-think spectacle flipped the script on the historical disaster clinging to the radical left ideology, supporting the senile Joe Biden no matter what he does.
brian stelter
Biden, quote, has stuck to his guns while under attack in the press, laying out a case for the limits of American military power.
So, Matthew Dowd, you would describe the media's coverage this week as what?
unidentified
Way over the top and unconnected to a perspective on the issue from the beginning.
They've added more perspective in the final days, but from the beginning, they didn't have a perspective on it.
My sense of this is Joe Biden has done, we should judge it by the data of what's happened and not by anecdotes.
And sometimes the president or the press has a tendency to judge things by anecdotes and not the data.
And the data for the last week, Shows Joe Biden has basically gotten 30,000 people out of Afghanistan without a single loss of an American life.
I think that we also see why it was so hard for presidents in the past to pull out of Afghanistan.
They were afraid of exactly this kind of press overreaction.
There's no way to surrender, leave, withdraw, whatever you want to call it, in a war.
Without things getting ugly, and I feel there was something Pollyannish about expecting anything different, and it disappoints me that the press is behaving in this way.
jon bowne
House Speaker Pelosi, who just held a maskless luncheon in Napa Valley while the servants wore masks, Laughably praised Biden's undeniable debacle, writing, I want to acknowledge the clarity of purpose of President Biden's statements and the wisdom of his actions.
In the coming weeks and months, these words will come back to haunt all of them.
John Bowne reporting.

You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
harrison smith
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome back to American Journal.
My name is Harrison Smith.
Very happy to be back in studio today.
What a weekend!
What a weekend to not be in town.
And, well, we'll get into all of that a little bit later in the program.
We'll be taking your calls, of course, and then in the third hour we will be welcoming Clint Russell, host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast.
Very excited to talk to him.
We'll be taking your phone calls, of course, as well.
A lot of videos and a ton of articles to get to today.
Let's begin, as we always do, with our daily dispatch.
All right, here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Wednesday, August 25th, 2021.
House Democrats pass federal takeover of America's elections.
Democrats pass legislation Tuesday that would federalize America's electoral system, giving President Joe Biden's Department of Justice significant control over election law.
The House passed H.R.
for the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021, the legislation would radically transform America's electoral system.
The legislation would mandate that any state and its political subdivisions would have to obtain preclearance from the Department of Justice or the U.S. District Courts for the District of Columbia before making changes that might affect voting rights.
But the triggering events would not have to be bonafide violations of voting rights as a practical matter if left-wing groups were to file lawsuits against Democratic-controlled cities for ordinary election integrity safeguards in the city were to admit fault and settle instead of fighting in court, that surrender would count towards the tally triggering preclearance requirements that surrender would count towards the tally triggering preclearance requirements for the entire state.
unidentified
Okay.
harrison smith
This, of course, in direct contradiction of the Constitution of the United States, which says that the electoral process should be managed entirely by the local authorities.
Well, now that power has been usurped by the federal government in yet another in a long line of consolidating programs meant to federalize many, many programs that should and have always been state or locally managed.
Incredible stuff.
After deal with moderates, House Democrats move forward on $3.5 trillion budget.
Really just another, one after another, these massive, massive, unbelievably huge bills that radically transform the entire concept of America and our relationship as citizens with our federal government.
Being passed over and over and over again.
We'll get into this a little bit later in the program.
The initial $3.5 trillion budget proposal would result in a transformation of the country's social safety net, including provisions that would expand Medicare coverage, institute universal pre-K, fund elder care, and establish a civilian climate corps.
Appropriately communistic phrasing there, with some of the funding coming via higher taxes on corporations and Americans making over $400,000.
Of course, they're calling this the Build Back Better Reconciliation Bill, just in case you weren't aware that this is explicitly in line with the Great Reset and the remaking of the entire world economy into a basically open air slave market for Really amazing stuff.
Supreme Court denies Biden's attempt to end the remain in Mexico policy.
Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled against the Biden administration in its attempt to end a controversial Trump era border policy in a major blow to the president's efforts to undo the hardline policies of his predecessor.
Translation, the Supreme Court upholds the basic right of America to defend its borders against Joe Biden's onslaught in their continual attempt to destroy everything that makes this nation a, well, a nation at all.
The one-page ruling said the Biden administration had failed to show that rescinding the NPP was not, quote, arbitrary and capricious.
In translating that, the Biden administration's attempt to end this policy was in fact arbitrary and capricious.
Those states, Texas and Missouri, who filed the suit wrote that implementing virtually any significant immigration policy may have collateral consequences for foreign relations, but the government may not use such foreign policy implications as a blank check to avoid complying with immigration laws.
In other words, they're just simply trying to destroy our ability to protect our border whatsoever.
And the excuse that they're using is, well, if we don't let Mexicans in, then that might make Mexico mad.
Okay, well, that's not a good enough reason and it's not a good enough excuse to prevent Texas and Missouri and a number of other states from actually Fortifying their border and protecting it against invasion.
Hey, speaking of, up to 100 Afghan evacuees flown out of war-torn Kabul are on the terror watch list, U.S.
officials warn.
That's right, up to 100 Afghan evacuees flown out of Kabul are on intelligence agency watch list.
revealed at least one passenger flown out to Qatar has potential ties to ISIS.
The Afghans are potential candidates for the special immigration visas, but they are flagged as possible matches to intelligence agency watch list by the Defense Department's automated biometric identification system.
The Afghan who has potential ties to ISIS was detected by security screeners at an airbase in Qatar after they were evacuated from Kabul airport.
The Afghan evacuees are being screened against law enforcement databases using biometric data, including facial recognition, iris scans, and fingerprints.
The evacuees are being screened by agents with the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.
Wow, so much to say about this, and we'll get into it a little bit more later in the program.
But, you know, whether the terror watch list is even legitimate or not, I guess, is up for debate.
But just know, you know, as they implement terror watch lists and biometric tracking and, you know, all sorts of egregious violations of Personal privacy under the guise of national security and then suddenly those are not coming in too much handy as they fly out to Qatar or to military air bases and then they figure out, hey, maybe that guy might be an ISIS terrorist.
Maybe we should worry about that.
We'll see.
State Department issued warning that Americans left in Afghanistan will be without assistance, then retracted it 30 minutes later.
Just when it seemed like the Biden administration's Afghanistan debacle couldn't get any worse, the State Department texted a final message for Americans stranded in the country Tuesday, alerting them that they would be without assistance, but then they deleted the warning just minutes later because finally the adults are back in charge.
Yeah, thank goodness Joe Biden and the adults in the room are back in charge.
I think the terms from that first article that we covered, arbitrary and capricious, may dictate just about everything or describe just about everything that the Biden administration does these days.
Arbitrary and capricious.
Just about sums up the entire motivating efforts of the Biden administration.
The message read, this is the final message for American citizens who wish to depart Kabul.
American citizens who choose to remain in Afghanistan should be prepared to arrange their departure without assistance from the US government.
30 minutes later, they're like, JK, LOL, just kidding.
Ignore that.
That was a terrible thing to say.
Gosh, why would we ever have said that?
When the Daily Caller asked the State Department for clarification, they received the following response.
We sent an email to American citizens earlier that was recalled for technical reasons.
We shortly thereafter sent a revised email and recipients should follow the instructions to that message.
For security reasons, we're not going to get into further details.
It's just, you know, it's just their lives on the line.
It's just, it's just a matter of You know, life or death for them.
No need to be clear on that.
Just go ahead and send various messages.
It's like the Pentagon sending one message, State Department sending another.
The Biden administration is sending a third message.
And then they're all being revised 30 minutes later.
The point is you're screwed.
We sent you over there and now you're screwed.
And now we're going to be bringing back tens of thousands of Afghans instead of you.
You'll have to stay there.
You'll have to figure out your own way back.
Meanwhile, the Afghans who, you know, We didn't send over there and aren't American, will get priority and be shipped all over the world because why not?
It's just, you know, controlled chaos, controlled demolition of everything we know and love.
Why Biden will end the final mission in Afghanistan in just seven days.
The instincts that drove President Joe Biden's decision to end the U.S.
presence in Afghanistan by August 31st were revealed when he talked about by what he talked about before the announcement to the American people.
In a televised statement billed as an update on a remarkable airlift that has now saved more than 87,000 people, Biden celebrated the latest House votes on his $3.5 trillion job, social spending, family leave, and health care blueprint.
Quote, we're a step closer to truly investing in the American people with their money.
We're truly invested in stealing the American people's money and giving it to the other people in America that don't pay any taxes, Just controlled demolition, just controlled chaos, just manufactured nonsense, destroying everything.
It's really quite remarkable what Joe Biden has been able to accomplish in the first six months of his reign.
Just failure on every front, total collapse, and yet endless praise from the media who celebrate his wonderful intuition.
Truly amazing.

All right, continuing here with our daily dispatch on American Journal.
Officials and experts warn against using the COVID-19 vaccine in kids under 12.
Health experts and federal officials are advising physicians not to administer the newly approved Pfizer coronavirus vaccine to children under the age of 12, despite pressure from parents clamoring for a way to vaccinate their young children.
Quote, that would be great concern that people would vaccinate children because we don't have the proper dose and we don't have the safety data, nor do we have all the efficacy data, acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock said during a media briefing Monday.
Yeah, it's like we don't have any of the results of the testing.
We haven't had long term efficacy or side effect trials.
At all!
For anybody!
I mean for kids, just for kids, but no, for anybody actually.
There are potential serious safety concerns if children are given too much and without full data from completed trials, physicians don't know the right dosage to administer.
For anybody, but this is specifically about kids.
I mean, none of these trials have been done for anybody, so it's kind of strange that they would admit all of this about kids.
I guess all of these people are just vaccine deniers now.
Quote, I'm a fan of vaccines, but I would be loath to vaccinate my 9 or 10 year old until I saw the data, said Paul Offit.
Well, that makes you a vaccine denier.
That makes you a domestic terrorist, sir.
Daring to ask for evidence of efficacy and safety of a vaccine.
You take the vaccine and you don't question it.
That's what it means to be an American.
This is just the slippery slope that we're going down, right?
I mean, literally, this is what we say about vaccines and we're called anti-vaxxer, literally domestic terrorist.
It's like, hey, I'm a fan of vaccines.
I just want to know, I just want to know that we've done the safety trials and we know how You know, effective it is.
And they're just like, well, then you're a terrorist and should go to jail and should be, you know, prevented from getting medical care or being able to go out and buy food.
But no, I guess it's OK when it's a nine or 10 year old.
For now, for now, next week, this also will be will make you a terrorist.
This is Paul Offit, a pediatric vaccine expert and director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Maldonado says, quote, we should do this based on all of the evidence from each age group and what the trials need to be completed.
I know parents are anxious to protect their children, just like, what, you want to wait for the safety trials to be done?
What are you, some sort of anti-science bigot?
Well, you can conceivably get an emergency youth authorization by the mid to late fall for individuals 5 to 11, Fauci said during an NPR interview on Monday.
But he also noted the timelines are always subject to change because once again, from medical care to political matters, all decisions now being made are Quote, arbitrary and capricious.
Protection against COVID infection after two vaccines falls within six months.
Two COVID vaccine doses become less effective at stopping infection within six months, a major study has found.
Researchers warned Britons, given the first jab, including the elderly, could see protection plummet to just 50% by winter without booster shots.
Oh, we need booster shots.
Every six months, you'll get a booster shot.
And if you don't, you'll be excluded from Public life.
This is the new world that we're in and it won't ever end unless you stand up and stop them from continuing with this.
He warned effectiveness could drop below 50% by winter and urged Britain to urgently get its act together on booster vaccines.
We have to.
We absolutely have to do this, or else... Yeah, I don't know.
Pfizer CEO says COVID-19 vaccine-resistant variant is likely to emerge.
Oh no, who could have ever guessed that this would happen?
Oh my gosh, I'm so surprised.
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on Tuesday said the company believes COVID-19 vaccine-resistant variant will likely one day emerge, though the company has a system in place to turn around a variant-specific jab within some three months.
Thank goodness.
I think we all know that the one organization, the one industry we can trust completely is the pharmaceutical industry.
It's not like the biggest fine ever levied in the history of America was towards Pfizer for lying and covering up unintended side effects and falsifying the results of studies to the tune of...
Billions and billions of dollars charged to Pfizer.
No, they're trustworthy and you have to surrender completely to them and just let them inject you every six, three, two months for the rest of your life because your immune system is now a subscription service.
Spain's Supreme Court rules against using vaccine passports to restrict access to public spaces.
Spain's Supreme Court made waves last week by becoming the first judicial authority in Europe to rule against the use of COVID passports to restrict access to public spaces, specifically hospitality businesses, bars, restaurants, and nightclubs.
So a little bit of good news there.
Meanwhile, Israel to grant green passports only to the triple vaccinated.
State of Israel may soon restrict travel within the country only to people who have received two vaccines and a booster shot as deaths and infection rates among fully vaccinated increase.
Because remember, you get the vaccine, you can still get COVID.
In fact, some studies show that once you are vaccinated, you might actually hold up to 250% more of the virus than unvaccinated people.
And the most heavily vaccinated countries in the entire world are now experiencing massive upticks in infections and death rates, unlike unvaccinated countries, which continue to be fairly level in their infection and death rates.
But don't think too much about that.
Don't look too much into that, or you might start questioning absolutely everything.
NBCUniversal expects to lose $100 million on BuzzFeed's plan to go public via SPAC.
NBCUniversal expects to lose about $100 million in its investment deal with BuzzFeed.
Digital publisher BuzzFeed's plan to merge with a special-purpose acquisition company, but NBCUniversal leaders were disappointed at BuzzFeed's value of $1.5 billion, which is below where it was in previous years, Wall Street Journal reported.
And the deal universe could be facing NBC Universal could be facing a loss of 75 to 100 million dollars spending on the stock price.
And it's just it really is incredible how much money is poured into these leftist media outlets that just fail completely and just lose literally hundreds of millions of dollars a year as they continue to cut, you know, lay people off and fire people and constrict.
And then just get more and more hundreds of millions of dollars poured into their coffers.
And yet they still can't survive.
Can you possibly imagine if Things weren't that way.
Can you imagine if every year InfoWars got a cash injection of $400 million from investors?
Can you imagine what we would be able to achieve?
And BuzzFeed gets that and then just fails completely and loses all the money and then goes and begs for more.
Man photographed as baby on the Nevermind cover sues Nirvana, alleging child pornography.
Spencer Eldon, the man whose unusual baby portrait was used for one of the most recognizable album covers of all time, Nirvana's Nevermind, filed a lawsuit Tuesday alleging the nude image constituted child pornography.
The album cover depicts Eldon underwater in a swimming pool as an infant with his genitalia exposed.
The image has generally been understood as a statement on capitalism as it includes the digital imposition of a dollar bill on a fish hook that the baby appears to be enthusiastically swimming towards.
Non-sexualized news photos of infants are generally not considered child pornography under law.
And yeah, I have no comment on that.
Weird.
Caldor Fire knocking on the door of Lake Tahoe area and ruining vacations for people who try to have a good time there.
Becomes nation's number one priority for firefighting sources.
Rapidly expanding wildfires approaching the outskirts of the Lake Tahoe Basin has become the nation's number one priority for firefighting resources, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.
It's only 10 days old, but it's exploded to nearly 123,000 acres and has taken out 632 structures, including more than 450 homes.
It helped spurred evacuations and along with several blazes across the state led to the closure of nine national forests.
Nearly 18,000 properties were still in danger from the blaze which was 11% contained as of Tuesday evening.
One thing they don't mention here in the story is that it was in fact started as arson and they arrested the woman who started the fire just like the Dixie fire and just like so many other fires that of course are being blamed on climate change being used to restrict your freedoms were in fact arson and purposely caused by leftists trying to promote a narrative.

Alright folks, finishing up here with the Daily Dispatch.
More just incredible, uh, we really need to do a big compilation of all of the natural disasters that have occurred in the last, uh, Nine months since the beginning of this year.
It's really gone off the rails.
More than 270 homes were destroyed in central Tennessee as flash flooding killed 18, according to officials.
A dam assessment conducted in Humphreys County showed 271 homes were destroyed by Saturday's flooding, according to a news release from the county's emergency management agency.
Another 160 homes had major damage and 28 had minor damage.
Mother and her baby had to be rescued by kayak as floodwaters overtook their Tennessee home.
Among those killed were seven-month-old twins, emergency management agency spokesperson Gray Collier told CNN.
The details surrounding the infant's death were not immediately available.
catastrophic flooding in yet another part of the world, which I'm not sure a single part of the world has been spared so far.
We've seen floods absolutely everywhere over the last nine months in perfect coordination with the hack attack scenario now being unrolled by the people with their fingers on the trigger of the weapon machines.
China is developing an ultra-large $2.3 million megaship that is miles long.
Researchers in China are investigating the possibility of assembling a spacecraft in orbit.
The project is part of the nation's ambition to expand its space exploration, which encompasses crewed missions operating on long-term timescales.
So yes, they're talking about building a spacecraft that is miles long.
Yes, miles long!
That's what you can achieve when, uh... Well, the people that run your country don't hate your country!
When you actually want to achieve things and go to space, you know, there's, um...
That classic poll where they show what kids want to be when they grow up in America and the UK.
The answer overwhelmingly is a YouTuber or an Instagram influencer.
While in China, little kids want to grow up to be astronauts.
If that doesn't tell you where our two civilizations are going, then maybe nothing else will.
Obviously, communism.
Not necessary to go to space.
Not necessary to dream big.
Not necessary.
In fact, often a hindrance in achieving great things.
You know, expanding humanity out into the solar system.
Glorious, wonderful triumphs.
But no, we're very diverse, though.
Oh, we are extremely diverse.
And you have to wonder, how is China achieving all of this stuff without diversity?
It boggles the mind, truly.
It doesn't make any sense how they're able to achieve such great things when they are anything but diverse.
So are we being lied to?
Yes, folks, we are.
And here it is, folks, to close it out, the meme of the day.
Unvaccinated people should be denied health care because they refuse to take responsibility for preventable diseases, as this is being laughed at by an obese man drinking Diet Coke and eating handfuls of Cheetos.
Because after all, you don't, you know, responsibly take the experimental vaccine, then you don't deserve health care.
Meanwhile, if you're Any number of other massively dangerous things to your health, you will of course probably receive free health care paid for by the people that aren't.
Killing themselves with junk food.

It's really just kind of mind-blowing stuff.
There's so many just insane headlines over the last couple days.
I didn't even include in my daily dispatch.
Notre Dame defending the Fighting Irish mascot after survey finds it's offensive.
Very confused by all of this.
It's like, are we just not allowed to have anything that's human anymore?
I was under the impression that you couldn't be racist against white people.
Last time I checked, Irish people were white.
Of course, that's changing fairly rapidly as they're being invaded and colonized as we speak.
But apparently...
Apparently the fighting Irish is now offensive, which is kind of funny because over the weekend we were hanging out with some friends who were talking about being in Prague and they were having such a great time because they were with a group of Irish guys who all dressed up as leprechauns to go around drinking in Prague.
When the people that you think are being offended are the ones actually perpetuating the concept, is it really that offensive?
Like, go ask an Irish person if they're offended by Irish people being leprechauns.
They kind of aren't, actually.
It's kind of just part of their culture, and it's a celebration of who they are and their unique ethnicity.
But no, we can't have that anymore.
No humanity can be Allowed to continue, whether it's because it's offensive to some sort of
So-called oppressed minority or whether it's because it's I don't know the Vikings the fighting Irish Just let's just get rid of it all it'll just be football team a verse football team B It'll be the the Houston Blues verse the Oakland Reds, and it'll just all be deracinated just totally Depersonalized just just get rid of all of it.
No more faces on your on your maple syrup No more, yeah.
No more Dr. Seuss.
No more anything.
And, uh, you know, people see this and they kind of roll their eyes and they're just like, well, another one.
It's just like, well, maybe you should stand up against this.
Maybe you should point out that it's wrong.
Maybe you shouldn't let them destroy every aspect of what makes us unique and fun.

However you're here, we are glad that you are, and we look forward to hearing from you.
We'll go out to your phone calls momentarily.
I want to go to a short video first.
This is Katherine Austin Fitz explaining the Great Reset really very well.
And I just, you know, it's...
It's very weird talking to people that just aren't aware of what's going on because they see little things here or there that they think are a little bit odd, a little bit strange.
It sort of makes them roll their eyes.
But they just don't have the big picture.
They can't get the big picture.
And Katherine Austin Fitz explains how this is purposeful and how all of these Various programs all being run simultaneously interact and support each other and contribute to one another and yet are kept separate in the mind of the public so they can't see the big picture of how this spider's web is being woven to keep them in.
Let's go now to Catherine Austin Fitz explaining the Great Reset.
catherine austin-fitts
So if you look at what's going on, we have the tech people building We have the clouds and the telecommunications.
We have the military doing space and Operation Warp Speed.
So they're putting up the satellites, okay?
Then we have Big Pharma, which is making the injections that are full of these mystery ingredients and modify your DNA and, for all we know, make you infertile.
And then we have the media pouring out the propaganda.
And then we have the central bankers engineering to the crypto, the central bank crypto systems.
So you have these different pillars, and it's very important when you look at what's going on day to day, particularly in the media, they're trying to keep them separate so that you can't see how they're going to come together in an integrated system, which is basically integrated into your body and your mind.
joe biden
For what purpose?
catherine austin-fitts
So in other words, if I am going to do everything through a smart grid, and I need to run the smart grid into your neighborhood, and then I need to run the smart grid into your body, the question is, how am I going to build it out in your neighborhood and build it out in your body without you seeing the trap?
Right.
So so that's why you try and keep these different lines separate.
So if you listen to the central bankers, they try as hard as they can to stay away from these conversations.
So it was interesting.
I was watching an IMF presentation on cross-border payments and the Federal Reserve chairman, the head of the IMF, mentioned the digital global ID system and you would have the federal chairman the federal reserve chairman almost blanched and you could energetically feel him moving like a galaxy away like no no no no because you know they're they're more
they're 325 million Americans and there are more than 325 million guns and he doesn't want everybody to see this until the trap is thrown until it's too late Until you can't get out.
harrison smith
Until the door is shut and locked behind you.
It's very well illustrated there by Catherine Austin Fitz because again, none of what we're seeing now is accidental.
None of it is the result of just good people doing their best and darn it, it's just not working out.
No, this is open and nefarious plans.
Like, they just announced it.
It's like really shocking.
People still don't see what's going on here, but I guess that's the consequence of people just Having regular lives to lead, you know, if your life is very busy, if you are constantly having to keep up with bills, and you got two people having to work just to support your household, and your kid's got autism, and you know, just all sorts of stuff going on in your life.
You don't have time to dedicate to actually noticing the fact that the world elite are all banding together to deprive you of property and privacy, because that makes you harder to control.
It's hard to...
Hey, what's up man?
the forefront of your mind when you have so much other busy stuff going on and when they themselves are simultaneously announcing that they're doing this and concealing the true purpose of the programs.
Really well done.
Let's go now out to your phone calls.
Let's go to Raul in El Paso who has a comment about the Afghan refugees.
Thanks for calling in.
Raul, you are on the air.
unidentified
Hey, what's up, man?
I'm calling because I know a person that's responsible for some people that Afghan detainees.
It's not a detention center because they're not detainees, but it's in Dona Ana County, which is part of Fort Bliss, and they're being housed there, but they're just Ubering They come with their cell phones, so they can Uber.
The Uber will go pick them up, and they're allowed to just wander off.
harrison smith
Really?
So these are people being flown in from Afghanistan and then they get to this military base and then just leave?
unidentified
Yes.
And then, like, I was told that they're Ubering off, but, I mean, what's to stop them from just walking into the desert, you know?
I'm sure someone's figured it out already and it's not like that's inhospitable land for them, you know what I'm saying?
harrison smith
Yeah.
unidentified
Like, yeah, they're surrounded by desert, but it's only, what, 30, 40 miles to a city?
Which, like I said, that land isn't unfamiliar to them.
They're not going to die walking 40 miles in the desert, I'm sure.
harrison smith
Right.
Yeah, well that's just one of many places around the world where Afghan so-called refugees are being transported by the tens of thousands now.
You know, whether you want them in your neighborhood or not, they're coming and they're being dropped off in primarily red states because, well, it's an invasion.
unidentified
Yeah, but there's no one keeping their track of where they're coming, where they're going from, or who knows if we even really know who they are.
You know what I'm saying?
harrison smith
Yeah, well, you know, we had to go to Afghanistan because we have to fight them over there, so we don't have to fight them over here.
unidentified
Remember, that was the... And then we fly them in on our tax dollars.
harrison smith
We fly them in here.
unidentified
I'm sure they're going to get welfare or God knows what, you know?
harrison smith
Yeah, that's great.
It's great.
It's a wonderful thing, isn't it, Raul?
Yeah, love to see it.
Well, thanks for that.
I'm disheartened but not particularly surprised at that piece of news, but thank you for letting us know that because it's absolutely happening where you're saying and also, you know, elsewhere in the country.
Thanks for your call, Raul.
Let's go now to AJ in Houston.
Thanks for calling in, AJ.
You want to talk about how to get the vaccine out of our system.
Thanks for calling in, AJ.
You're on the air.
unidentified
Hey, Eric.
It's been a huge fan of you guys.
Long time listener, first and foremost.
I'll try to make this quick.
I did a lot of research back in the Dr. Wallach days on Focoidin.
And I remember reading an abstract on it.
It was just an abstract.
It was just a lab test.
But it showed that Focoidin worked through the mitochondrial pathway to basically destroy cancer.
And I just, I remember through all the doctors Alex has had on reading it.
I mean, listening to it, I think the spike protein was kind of doing something to the mitochondrial pathway.
And maybe if y'all could get some doctors or some people to look into that.
The specific brand I think that Dr. Wallach sold was Z-Radical.
But I started taking that, of course, with a lot of yard products.
I use the DNA Force Plus, and I love the Fizzy Magnesium.
It's been great.
Just, you know, a combination of those things and vitamins and minerals and stuff.
I've noticed a significant... I didn't get the vaccine, but I noticed a significant difference in some, like, other side effects that I might have gotten from working around a lot of COVID patients.
Just being around vaccinated people.
I want to let y'all guys know about that and see if I can maybe look into them.
harrison smith
Interesting.
Yeah, I'll look into that.
I haven't heard too much about the mitochondrial pathways, but that's very interesting.
Thanks for letting us know that, AJ.
I appreciate that.
Thanks for calling in.
Thanks for being a supporter.
And I want to go quickly to Mike in Chicago, because he has sort of a similar comment to AJ.
Thanks for the call, AJ.
Mike, from Chicago, you're on the air.
You want to talk about ADE caused by the vaccine.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm just curious what you think about that, the antibody-dependent enhancement.
And do you think that this is something that people need to be concerned about?
I mean, because there's not much research at this point, right?
I mean, look, I love you, man.
You know, your glasses don't fool me.
Some people might take it as a joke, but I mean, you're a hardcore guy, and I love your take on everything.
harrison smith
Oh, thank you.
Well, the glasses are, in fact, a disguise.
I am Superman when I'm not in here.
But, you know, I need to look a little bit more into AD, but hearing a lot of the headlines that even just I read during the Daily Dispatch make me think that they know something is coming down the line.
In fact, you have the CEO of Pfizer coming out and saying that they expect, you know, there to be some sort of vaccine-resistant variant likely to emerge, and then claiming, of course, that they can come up with booster shots, antibody-dependent enhancement.
Hey, bring up that last one.
In SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and therapies.
So this is a scientific article.
Antibody-based drugs and vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome.
Coronavirus 2 are expedited towards preclinical and clinical development.
Data from the study of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses suggests that anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies could exacerbate COVID-19 through antibody-dependent enhancement, ADE.
And in fact, some Japanese scientists have been looking into this and are claiming that this is going to be a very, very big problem coming down the line.
Essentially, the...
The vaccine can mutate to actually take advantage of the vaccine.
And Dr. Fauci actually talked about this with the original SARS.
And we'll talk about this more, because it's a good point.
unidentified
You're watching the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch live right now at band.video.
jon bowne
American citizens are trapped behind enemy lines.
They can't reach the airport in Kabul that is surrounded by thousands of refugees and Taliban because they are being hunted.
joe biden
My direction, the State Department continues to reach out to the remaining Americans we have identified by phone, email and other means to ascertain their whereabouts and their plans.
jon bowne
Showing their passports will only get them killed.
unidentified
These American citizens and American allies and residents are soon either going to be executed by Taliban regime because they're behind the enemy lines, or either they're going to be dying out of hunger and thirst because they cannot get out of their house to get food and get or either they're going to be dying out of hunger and So these people are at really high risk.
There are thousands of them.
My sister, she's got two kids in America.
She's an American citizen.
It's been six days, seven days.
She's attempted three times to go to the airport, but it will not let them pass unless they show their passports.
If they show their passports, if they wave their passport at a Taliban, that this is me, this is an American citizen, that's a death call, death sentence for herself.
She will be killed on the spot or she will be taken and executed.
jon bowne
Other countries are sending in special forces to extract their citizens.
Biden has essentially turned his back on the American citizens his hasty pullout has trapped.
And with little over a week left to accomplish the impossible, Biden will fail on a massive scale.
unidentified
We're nine days away from the August 31st deadline.
Will you extend that deadline?
Or what is your thought process on that?
joe biden
There's discussions going on among us and the military about extending.
Our hope is we will not have to extend, but there are going to be discussions, I suspect, on how far along we are in the process.
unidentified
This is an unmitigated disaster.
Hostages are already being taken, they're already being killed, and the next step is to go in there and seize all the airfields across Afghanistan, Create a safe corridor, go out and get our citizens, our allies, our Afghans, and bring them back.
Taliban's gonna run.
Al-Qaeda's gonna run.
They can't face us.
But this is probably six to eight months of additional time added to the timeline, in my opinion.
jon bowne
Biden's latest speech reveals that he refuses to grasp the full weight of what his administration caused.
Instead, continuing to pat himself on the back.
joe biden
What we are doing is extraordinary.
unidentified
A poll also found that based in part on what transpired in the last week, the majority of Americans, forgive me I'm just the messenger, no longer consider you to be competent, focused, or effective at the job.
joe biden
I haven't seen that.
unidentified
What would he say to those Americans?
joe biden
Look, I had a basic decision to make.
I either withdraw America from a 20-year war, That depending on whose analysis you accept cost us 150 million dollars a day for 20 years or 300 million dollars a day for 20 years.
Where are our national interests?
Where do they lie?
And the idea that we are in a situation where we can not recognize that terrorism has metastasized around the world and the need for us to focus on other parts of the world which create an even greater danger of an al-Qaeda-like operation beginning can't be ignored.
My job is to make judgments.
My job is to make judgments no one else can or will make.
I made them.
I'm convinced I'm absolutely correct.
Is the Taliban going to attempt to be able to unite and provide for the well-being of the people of Afghanistan, which no one group has ever done since before, for hundreds of years?
And if it does, it's going to need everything from additional help in terms of economic assistance, trade, and a whole range of things.
unidentified
The Taliban has said we'll see whether they mean it or not.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to the program.
harrison smith
Still a lot to cover in today's program, as well as we're welcoming Clint Russell.
of the Liberty Lockdown podcast in the third hour and still have a lot of your calls to get to.
And people are asking about ADE, and we'll talk a little bit more about that moving forward.
Here's a post from Alex Berenson on Twitter.
Very, very important paper out of Japan suggests Delta is mutating in a way that may soon produce ADE to the Pfizer vaccine through NTD mutations and boosters may make the problem worse.
SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant is poised to acquire complete resistance to wild type spike vaccines.
This is the title of the paper and they say that a third round of Booster immunization with the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is currently under consideration.
Our data suggests that repeated immunization with the wild-type spike might not be effective in controlling the newly emerging Delta variants.
We demonstrated that immunization by Delta spike induces antibodies that neutralize not only the Delta variant but also wild-type and Delta 4 plus variants without enhancing the infectivity.
Although mRNA vaccines may yield different results from our animal model, Development of mRNA vaccines expressing the Delta spike might be effective for controlling the emergency Delta variant.
And then they go on to say.
But the Delta variant were not particularly high compared to others because most neutralizing antibodies, either against NTD or RBD, do not work for the Delta 4 plus pseudovirus, while most enhancing antibodies remain functional for the Delta 4 plus pseudovirus and increase while most enhancing antibodies remain functional for the Delta 4 plus pseudovirus and increase infectivity for Immune sera appear to be mediated by anti-NTD enhancing antibodies.
Anyways.
In other words, we are expecting to see a massive spike in the danger of the Delta variant because it is actually taking advantage of the vaccine in a way that was actually talked about by Anthony Fauci in March
2020 when he said quote there are diseases in which you vaccinate someone but they get infected with what you're trying to protect them with and you actually enhance the infection so just remember when we talk about AD and we're called conspiracy theorists for doing so that you should just listen to the experts like Anthony Fauci who brings up AD and actually had concerns about this before coronavirus was ever even a thing because there were really big problems with this when they were trying to develop a
A vaccine for the SARS virus several years ago, they found that they were unable to create the mRNA vaccine in the way that they did for coronavirus because it would develop ADE.
In other words, you would vaccinate somebody and attempt to get rid of a disease, but the disease would adapt to the vaccine, actually take advantage of the vaccine.
And the disease and the effects of the disease would actually get worse because of the vaccine.
And we're expecting that to emerge at an even greater degree as booster shots are rolled out.
Now we have they're sort of laying the breadcrumbs for this as the Pfizer CEO says COVID-19 vaccine resistant variant is likely to emerge sometime soon.
Of course, they're saying more booster shots will help, but whether that's the case or not is yet to be seen.
at least.
Later in this hour, we'll cover this story and the very bizarre contradictions between this story and the other story we covered in the Daily Dispatch.
They're saying, I would never in a million years give my child the vaccine who's under 12.
We don't have the results.
We don't know the testing.
We don't know what it's going to do to them.
I would never do that.
Meanwhile, CNN reports next up for COVID vaccines, kids under 12.
On one hand, you have the experts in the field saying, no, we should never give this to children.
On the other hand, you have the bureaucrats saying, yes, we will mandate it for children under 12.
Contradictory, you know, statements about coronavirus are just par for the course.
Just keep you ever confused, ever battered around by contradictory evidence so you never know exactly what to trust and what's just going to change the very next day.
Just trust the experts, even when the experts disagree with the other experts.
Which experts are you supposed to trust?
I've seen in reports on that day, I guess.
I don't really know.
It's all nonsense.
What was the term?
Capricious and arbitrary.
I love that term.
Arbitrary and capricious.
Might as well be the Democrat slogan.
Build back better.
Arbitrary and capricious changes to your every way of life.
Now we had a caller, Raul, who called in and said that he has friends on a military base that were saying that Afghan so-called refugees were showing up there and then, you know, with their cell phones, downloading Uber, getting Uber and just leaving the base and just heading out.
No controls in place whatsoever.
We don't have any method in place to actually determine whether the person that we're bringing in is the person that they say they are or whether they are.
Remember the Taliban or if ISIS, you know, we have a story today from Daily Mail saying that over 100 people who've been evacuated at least were on the terrorist watch list.
And now they're being brought into America, not just brought into America, not just sent to, you know, your neighborhood, which they are, but also being sent to military bases.
Nothing says national security like importing citizens of an enemy state into your military bases and then just letting them go.
Goodbye.
Have fun.
Feel free to take pictures and do whatever you want.
Rather concerning report from our caller.
Now we have another caller who can back this up.
In fact, this is Steve from an undisclosed location who wants to confirm what Raul told us about Afghans on military bases.
Thanks for calling in, Steve.
You heard Raul's call and decided to call in.
What do you have for us about these Afghan refugees and military bases here in America?
unidentified
Hey, I just want to let you know, a longtime listener, I've called in a couple times, but yes, I wanted to back up Raul.
So they can come on and off at will.
If they stay off and disappear, then they're considered illegal aliens.
And they can take all the pictures that they want, but we can't take pictures of them.
They can take all the pictures of the area, whatever else, selfies, that's cool.
They have free room in the base.
We can't go over to their area, and if we do, we'll get in trouble.
And soldiers are being moved into tents, potentially, so that the Afghanis have beds and air conditioning, which is super important to them, because they're used to sleeping on beds and having air conditioning.
And women are told, don't go anywhere by yourself.
harrison smith
Women on the base.
We don't want to know which base you're on, but you're on a military base.
I don't want you to give out too much personal information, but just to confirm, are you a contractor?
Do you just work on this base?
Do you know how many refugees or Afghans have been brought to the base so far?
Is it hundreds?
Is it thousands?
unidentified
A couple hundred right now, but we're closely coming up into the thousand, and then they keep on coming every day.
I'm a soldier, I'm military.
harrison smith
Okay, you're a military soldier on the base, and so they're telling you that you can't take pictures of them, you can't go into their area of the base without being reprimanded.
They're telling the women, the military women on the base, that they should not go anywhere by themselves, but the Afghan refugees, who you're not allowed to take pictures of, not allowed to talk to, not allowed to approach They're allowed to wander freely, leave the base if they want, take pictures of whatever they want, and I guess harass the women there?
Is that what we're getting from this?
unidentified
Potentially, yeah.
It's a cultural norm that a woman by herself is a whore.
I'm sorry to use that live, but that is the cultural norm.
And she can be raped or killed.
She's property.
She's anyone's property because her male minder is not with her.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
So this is the culture of peace and love.
harrison smith
Do you know what the demographic makeup of the refugees are?
I mean, are these families?
Are these women and children?
Or are they mostly men?
unidentified
We're getting a mix.
We are getting a mix of women and children, families, individual men.
Correct.
It is a mix.
And you're right, we don't know who's coming in.
Of course, we can't trust the Afghanis because they fell like a house of cards.
And we can't count on our own government to vet these people.
We can't count on our own government to vet their own employees.
harrison smith
And is there any sort of control?
I mean, I know, like, I've gone on bases before, and you have to show ID and show who you are to get in, but to get out, you know, the gate's open, you can just leave.
So, any sort of control system to try to keep these people on the base, or it's just free roam?
unidentified
Free roam.
They don't want them to think that they're in a detention camp.
harrison smith
Oh no, no.
Heavens no.
Why would we ever put any restrictions on them?
Just restrictions on our own people who are now being moved out of their dorms so Afghanis can be moved in.
Incredible troubling stuff.
Well, thank you for the call, Steve.
We've got to get a break.
Thank you for the call, though.
Appreciate it.
Folks, this is why it's so valuable to have a call-in show like this.
We get Raul from Texas who calls in and says, I believe he was from Texas, but Raul calls in and says, you know, he's been hearing from a friend that Afghans are being brought into military bases here in America and then permitted to leave.
You know, they just get an Uber and just get out of there and there's no checks or balances trying to, you know, identify who these people are, where they're going or, you know, make them stay on the base once they're transported here.
Then we get a call from Steve who says, yeah, he actually says, I heard Raul's call and not only can I confirm this is happening, he says I'm a soldier at a base, but it's worse than he even says.
And he explains the way that soldiers are being told to Not, you know, they'll be punished if they go over where the Afghans are and the females on the base are actually told do not wander around by yourself because, well, the Afghan refugees are given full reign of the base and not told to, that they're not permitted to go anywhere.
Which is already troubling enough and it's, you know, great to have a call-in show like this so people can actually, you know, call in and make us aware of this stuff.
But here's where it all comes together.
This story from the Hill.
DHS to allow some Afghans to enter U.S.
without formal visas.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is using his parole authority to allow some Afghan evacuees to enter the United States while they wait for their application to be processed, a senior administration official told reporters on Tuesday.
The official said that, in some instances, Mayorkas is using his parole authority to allow special immigrant visa applicants who are in the pipeline but who haven't completed the application process to potentially be given parole.
State, the secretary of Homeland Security, is using his parole authority, including his ability to impose particular conditions of parole on those arriving to ensure that those who are reaching here are doing so obviously with the appropriate legal status.
Those who are granted parole would need to first pass a rigorous security check that the Biden administration is undertaking for Afghans to seek to enter or seeking to enter the U.S., The administration is transporting evacuees to transit centers in third-party countries where they're undergoing security checks under the parole authority.
The Department of Homeland Security can allow individuals outside the U.S.
to enter the country based on humanitarian or significant public benefit reasons.
The senior administration officials didn't specify other categories of Afghans beyond SIV applicants who could be eligible for parole.
The administration has also been evacuating other Afghans eligible for Priority 1 and Priority 2 refugee designations.
The administration has vowed to provide a pathway to America for those who assisted the U.S.
but don't meet the two-year work requirement previously needed to get an SIV, allowing them instead to come to the U.S.
through a lengthier refugee process.
But essentially, before they have gotten their formal visa, before they have actually completed their applications, or before those applications themselves have been processed to determine the information on there is true and accurate, they're just being given parole authority for broad categories of these people.
Saying, quote, it is imperative the Department of Homeland Security establishes a special humanitarian parole program specifically for women leaders, activists, human rights defenders, parliamentarians, journalists, and other high visible women currently at risk.
This would allow for the immediate and efficient relocation of those extremely vulnerable women to the United States.
Isn't that interesting how gender matters now?
Hey, gender exists all of a sudden.
That's kind of interesting, isn't it?
But of course, and I forget who it was exactly that pointed this out on Twitter, but he pointed out that no matter what the excuse is for bringing in refugees, we always get the same thing, right?
You say, oh, it's women and children.
And then all we get are busloads of adult male men every single time.
Oh, we have to save the children.
We have to save the women.
And then it's just like boatloads of adult men.
And it's like, well, wait, I thought this Special exception was because of these extenuating circumstances.
We had to get the high visibility women out of the path of the Taliban.
And then it's like, but who is this being applied to?
And they're just like, well, just apply to everybody.
Just absolutely everybody.
And, you know, just in case, we'll get all of them.
So just take all of this into account.
You have Afghans entering without formal visas, without going through the process of being approved, being put onto American military bases and then being let go and being allowed to wander around and allowed to leave the base and allowed to take pictures of the base and allowed to harass the women on the base.
And And then they leave.
So all of this combined gives you a nice, clear picture of exactly what's happening with the so-called refugees from Afghanistan.
In other words, it is a complete catastrophe and it's not something that they're just doing and that we can't stop.
You know, we're trying to stop this.
No.
No, it's it's our government importing tens of thousands of unverified people into military bases here in the country and then letting them go without any form of control as to even determining who they are or What exactly they're up to in this country?
Amazing isn't it?
Isn't it incredible?
Let's go back out to the phone calls.
Shall we let's go to who's been on longest Steve from Florida Steven from Florida Thanks for calling in.
Sir, you are on the air.
Stephen from Florida?
Alright, I'm sorry.
Let's go to Eric in Tucson who has a comment about vitamin mineral fusion and the flu.
Thanks for calling in.
Eric, you're on the air.
unidentified
What's up, buddy?
Nice to have you back.
harrison smith
Thank you.
unidentified
Alright, so I've been homesick for about three days, and I gotta tell you, without the vitamin and mineral fusion, I don't think I'd be in as good health as I am now.
It's just incredible, to be honest.
harrison smith
Oh, that's great.
You've got everything you need, that's for sure.
unidentified
Uh-oh.
Hold on.
We lost you there, Eric.
You still on the line?
Dang it.
I was dying, I came home, super sore, pain everywhere, and I had a glass of vitamin and mineral fusion and it just woke me right up.
It just changed, it was incredible.
And then magnesium at night just helped me go to sleep.
But you know, I don't know what I have.
It's some serious kind of- - Uh-oh, hold on, we lost you there, Eric.
harrison smith
You still on the line?
Dang it, right in the middle of a powerful plug too.
But no, that's great to hear.
And you know, it's funny because people like don't think supplements are the real deal.
They don't think vitamins and minerals exist anymore.
It's very strange the way that health care, like health itself has been just completely perverted and denaturated over the last year and a half.
No, vitamins and minerals are still the things that keep you healthy.
They're still the things that make your immune system work.
And it's like if you don't Think that this stuff works?
Just try it out.
Here's a good test.
Take Knockout and then try to stay up and tell me that the supplements don't work.
Take Knockout and try to play a video game or try to read a book and see how long you last.
See how many pages into the book you get before you fall asleep.
And that's just one of them that's obvious, right?
It's like, wow, I took that and then I fell asleep.
It obviously works, but it's all that effective.
It all works that well.
And yeah, Vitamin Mineral Fusion is really incredible.
Eric, we lost you there for a second, but now you're back.
Thanks for coming back here.
Go on, sir.
You were in the middle of saying how you were feeling, but you're also talking about protesting the Tucson mayor, and I want to hear about that as well.
unidentified
Yeah, so we've been having some very large protests in the city for the vaccines.
You know, they're forcing the city employees to have the vaccine.
So we've been having some major protests here.
The one thing that sucks is like, we can't seem to get together and put these protests where they belong.
So the people that are putting the power onto us actually see us.
But this Friday, we're going to have the protest in front of the mayor's office.
harrison smith
So Friday four o'clock in Tucson, Arizona in front of the mayor's office.
All right, well, I hope it's a good showing.
Do me a favor, Eric, if you can film it while you're there, just, you know, get a couple interviews with your phone or just film the crowd or whatever.
We'll try to get this, we'll try to get the imagery out there because now is the time we need to be protesting.
And of course, you know, protesting is not very effective if nobody knows that it's happening.
I mean, if they can ignore it and the mainstream media can ignore it, Uh, then you might as well be, uh, you know, shouting at a brick wall.
You know, if a tree falls in the forest, no one's around and who cares?
So send it to us and we'll get the word out.
Spread the message.

You're listening to the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch it live right now at band.video.
harrison smith
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
We will be welcoming Clint Russell, special guest, podcast host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast in the third hour.
So let's try to get to as many phone calls as possible in the next 30 minutes.
Thank you so much for calling in and for holding on the line.
I do appreciate it.
Let's go to who's been on the longest, O'Brien in Maryland.
Thank you for calling in, O'Brien.
You were on the air.
unidentified
Yes, hi.
Hi, Harrison.
Thanks for taking my call.
Okay, let's see here.
I came in to call in here about what happened to Simone Bales.
Now, pretty much everybody remembers her, uh, failing, uh, performance at the Olympic Games.
And a lot of people, including Owen, took, uh, how do I put this?
Uh, heat.
Took some heat from her, or they threw out some heat for her.
But here's the thing, here's something you may not know.
There are a lot of things that could have been What's going on behind the scenes?
Ranging from basically me being a, or being a selfish, a selfless, selfless, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish,
Throw the match or just basically just throw the match all together and just a payout.
I mean, we got many avenues we have here.
Probably, I think it's like, what, three or four.
And a lot of people don't realize that doing something like this can easily be looked at as someone just saying, you know, I quit.
If we can get that.
If we can have to get that.
So in the notion of what happened to her, I mean, everything's on the table right now.
harrison smith
Interesting.
No, I haven't looked into that too much.
I mean, I always just saw it as sort of an extension of what we've seen across the entire nation, which is basically just the continuous Like indulgence in mental health issues instead of just being like, hey, just buck up, buckaroo.
You know, it's just like you got to grin and bear it and get through it.
It's all like, oh, my gosh, what can we do?
Like, oh, you're sad.
What?
Oh, my goodness.
You know, and just, you know, throughout the Olympics.
I talked about it here where you had commentators like lamenting the fact that the judges were harsh.
And it's like, well, it's the Olympic Games.
Maybe the judges should be harsh.
Maybe it's okay to like set high standards and then try to reach them.
And then to claim that these high standards are somehow, you know, affecting your mental health and you have to stop.
A little bit lame in my opinion, but I hadn't heard anything about the amphetamine use or anything like that.
But of course, heck, You want to get into a conspiracy, look into Larry Nassar and the U.S.
Olympic gymnast team.
I mean, it's fairly pervasive, this corruption that we're seeing eat away at our institutions throughout the entire country and entire world, really.
So, yeah, a lot of nefarious business going on behind the scenes in places like the Olympics gymnast teams.
Larry Nassar's abusive gymnasts, including Simone Biles, went back decades, why it still matters in Tokyo.
And, yeah, suffice it to say that in the highest echelons of just about any industry, you'll have massive, massive corruption as people know that they can get away with this sort of stuff because what these people are trying to achieve massive corruption as people know that they can get away with this sort of stuff because what these people are trying to achieve is of such importance that they And so, that's just another avenue of abuse that's exploited by evil, evil people.
Thanks for the call, O'Brien.
Let's go now to Rob in Austin.
He wants to talk about Owen Schroer and why they are prosecuting him.
Thanks for calling in, Rob.
You're on the air.
terry in texas
Hey there, Harrison.
So, I was reading an article just last night, and it kind of pointed out the potential of what might be happening here, and that's the question of whether or not InfoWars is a journalistic outfit as opposed to just being for entertainment.
Because the judge in the case was Questioning, you know, what the prosecutorial reach was with regard to journalists in these prosecutions for things that happened on the 6th.
And I think that is really going to be the big sticking case in this.
You know, they've got Oh, and on the whole violation of the pre, not pre, but the deferred prosecution agreement, and violating that, not getting his community service hours done before the 6th, and then doing it after.
So what it's going to come down to is whether or not he is a journalist and whether or not InfoWars is just for entertainment purposes or if it has any kind of journalistic ethic.
You know, and then I just wanted to follow up and say that Alpha Power and bodies, those in combination were just crucial for getting through, getting my COVID jab. those in combination were just crucial for getting through, getting
I got both jabs and I, you know, Alpha Power and Bodies really made it so that I didn't have to suffer through any of the side effects of the Uh, of the vaccination.
So I would recommend that everybody just get your alpha power, get your body, get your jab and stay safe.
harrison smith
Well, thank you for that.
Yeah, body's very powerful.
Cucurminoids, very effective against anti-inflammation.
I don't, you know, if you have to take the shot, I guess you should prepare yourself for the side effects.
And one way you can do that is go to InfoWarsTore.com.
Thank you for that call.
I haven't, I actually missed that story about the DOJ and Owen.
Maybe if the crew can print that out for me, I'll take a look at that and see if I can delve into it.
Of course this in and of itself is a dangerous, you know, slippery slope to go down and we've been seeing it since at least 2016 when they tried to roll out the fake news label that of course they were preparing, you know, as you can you can look at the, you know, Google charts or whatever where it's like
The term fake news was totally unheard of until suddenly Trump was elected and then it was like every single outlet was talking about fake news constantly and they rolled it out actually just before the election with the intent of Hillary Clinton then getting into office and then using this label of fake news to crack down on dissident media outlets.
Right.
So, you know, luckily, Trump turned that around on him by saying you are fake news.
And now, you know, we call CNN fake news.
But that was the label that they were trying to plant on people that did not carry the establishment's narrative.
And they were really talking about, like, licensing journalists to say, OK, if you're approved by the state, then you're a journalist and you get these special protections.
But if you are against the state and you are not licensed by them and you're not deemed as an official journalist by some sort of bureaucracy, then you don't have any of these protections and you're not a journalist in the eyes of these people.
I think that the First Amendment is pretty explicitly clear that you don't need to be licensed by the government to speak your mind.
And you don't need to be a official licensed journalist to tell the truth and to speak up against the powers that be.
So it's sort of a dangerous precedent being set if they're determining whether or not they think you'll qualify as a journalist, which means you qualify for free speech.
But if you don't, you know, if they disagree with that, then you don't qualify for it and suddenly your free speech is truncated or eliminated completely.
That's totally unacceptable.
And even the, you know, aspects that, you know, I know Owen can't get into this stuff, but me just from an outsider, it seems like they're completely overreaching their mandate where they're saying that you have to complete this.
You have to complete this community service before you can protest in government buildings.
But then they're like, oh, that just means on government ground, like the entire district of Columbia is federal land.
So, I mean, is he not allowed to be anywhere that, uh, you know, outside that there's, you know, Federal property?
I mean, that makes no sense.
He didn't go in the Capitol.
So, to me, that means he didn't violate the order.
But, you know, I guess that's up to the judge.
Now they're trying to make it about whether he's an official journalist or not.
I don't know.
I mean, you know, do you have to go to school to be a journalist?
Do you have to carry the establishment narrative to be a journalist?
If you question things, are you not a journalist anymore?
If you aren't approved, if you aren't hired by a big million-dollar corporation, do you not have the same rights as anybody else?
No, it's unacceptable.
Of course you do.
you're an American.
Jonestown.
Jim Jones.
Drink the Kool-Aid.
One of the methods that they use to bring about total control of the adherence to their cultish religion is to provide contradictory and basically to implant cognitive dissidence into their Followers to provide contradictory evidence simultaneously with no sense of irony whatsoever.
And people are left sort of dislocated from reality, not really sure what to expect because the people that they understand, that they've been told over and over again, are the fonts of truth, are the ones who, you know, determine what is true and what is not.
And you listen to these people and you obey them and you believe them unquestioningly 100% of the time.
Which is difficult because 50% of the time they say one thing, 50% of the time they say the other.
And so you just sort of have to resign your will to whatever is the latest dictate from your cult leaders.
And what better example of that than these two headlines, both from yesterday, exact same day, you have these two headlines.
Which one do you trust?
I don't know.
officials and experts warn against using COVID-19 vaccine in kids under 12.
Simultaneously, at the exact same time, CNN writes, next up for COVID vaccines, kids under 12.
So again, CNN writes, next up for COVID vaccines, kids under 12, while at exactly the same time, officials and experts warn against using COVID-19 vaccine in kids under 12.
Which one do you trust?
I don't know.
I guess that's up to you.
I guess that's up to you.
I trust the more cautious people.
I trust the people actually providing the information, actually speaking in a way that I recognize as being beneficial for the people listening to them.
Such as Paul Ofit, who says, I'm a fan of vaccines, but I would loathe to vaccinate my nine or 10 year old until I saw the data.
A pediatric vaccine expert and director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
So you have vaccine experts and pediatric vaccine experts saying, no, no, we are not going to be giving this to our kids, at least not until we have the full results of the full fledged testing, which has never been done.
and continues to go on in the background.
Meanwhile, you have from CNN, next up for COVID-19 vaccines, kids under 12, saying, quote, I don't think it'll be long before they extend it to 12 to 15, maybe within a few weeks or a month or so.
Dr. Bob Frank, director of the Vaccine Research Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, As they are talking about these people clamoring for shots.
They're just so desperate for shots.
And again, it's, you know, there's another article today about the mental health crisis that is being caused in children as they're prevented from spending time with friends or from going out to outside and just playing and having, you know, interaction in real life with other individuals.
And just the devastating effects that that's having on mental health, literal trauma being caused to these kids as they're forced to mask and stay away.
And they're, you know, you even have like medical authorities coming out and apologizing.
I'm saying, I'm sorry for telling children that they were killing their grandmother by their mere existence, especially when, you know, you're saying like, if you don't get the vaccine, you're killing grandma.
And by the way, kids can't get it.
So yes, child, no matter what, you are killing your grandmother by your mere existence and there's nothing you can do about it.
And again, time after time, they are always like the incredible mental health toll that the virus is taking on children.
And it's like, no, no, the virus is not causing anything.
The virus is not locking down the economy.
The virus is not mandating masks on children.
The virus is not telling children they have to stay inside, wear their mask, and go to school on the Internet.
That's the policymakers.
That's the people in charge.
And lockdown has been shown incontrovertibly over a year and a half.
We have all the evidence we need from a place like Sweden, which never locked down once, never imposed lockdown on its citizens, and now has one of, if not the lowest rate of infection in the entire country, or in the entire world, rather, meaning, Meanwhile, you have places like Israel and Gibraltar and Iceland with something like 90% of the people vaccinated experiencing just massive spikes.
And they have the lockdown, they have the Green Pass, they have, you're not allowed to go anywhere if you don't have the vaccine.
And yet they're experiencing record numbers of infections and serious infections, in fact.
So what's the deal here?
Well, of course it's psychological manipulation.
And you have this story with 16-year-old, 10-year-old, and 12-year-old saying, quote, we miss traveling, we miss vacations, we miss concerts, we miss sports activities.
So hopefully as our kids are vaccinated and then other people get vaccinated, it'll really help.
It's just like, the virus is not stopping you from these things.
The people holding you hostage are.
The ransomers are the ones keeping you inside.
Kind of ironic, isn't it, that it's Stockholm syndrome?
Sweden never locked down and is doing great.
Just kind of, I guess, kind of just strangely ironic that these are literal, these are the, you know, effects of Stockholm syndrome.
You're actually just like, why don't you just give the kidnapper what they want?
Like these are the good guys, the kidnappers, the people holding the knife to my throat.
People stopping me from interacting and saying you either obey or we'll destroy your life.
We'll keep you inside and locked in and masked up for all of time.
They're just like, they're the good guys saving us from the vaccine.
No, they're not.
They're the evil people imprisoning you in order to force you into compliance.
And this is obvious and evident when you have Dr. Fauci now coming out and saying, oh, by spring 2022, things should probably be cleared up.
And all you have to do is look back over the last year and a half to see Dr. Fauci.
Anthony Fauci say time and time again, it should all be cleared up by this fall.
OK, by spring, everything should be good out.
Outlook is good by fall 2021.
It's always pushing it a little bit farther back and a little bit farther back because this isn't about science.
It's not about actual effectiveness of the vaccine or what the actual...
return to normal will look like, it's a psychological game where they're constantly putting the goalposts just far enough to seem achievable, but just far enough out of reach that they can shift it a little bit farther, a little bit down the line.
It reminds me of nothing more than a scam artist who is holding a victim of theirs in constant state of like, just a little bit farther, right?
It's like you get somebody to invest in something and they spend $100,000 and you're like, okay, well, it looks like all that money's gone, but if you just give me another 10,000, we can make it all back.
All right, fine.
Another $10,000.
It's like, well, that didn't work either, but just another $20,000, and then it'll all be bad.
Then you'll double your money.
It'll all be worth it.
It's always just a little bit more and a little bit more, because you've already gotten people to give so much of their lives.
You've already gotten them to surrender so much of themselves and their daily life and even their kids' lives that they're willing to just go just that little bit farther.
Okay, how much more can we push?
A little bit more.
The point is that these decisions are not being made by immunologists and vaccine experts about when they actually are predicting when these things will go into effect and actually allow us to safely interact with each other.
These decisions are being made by psychologists and psychiatrists who spend time studying human psychology to know exactly how far you can push people before they snap and before they turn on you.
That's how these things are being decided.
And that much is obvious.
So now this team is starting vaccine trials, testing Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine in kids under 12.
The hospital is due to enroll 75 children, 25 in each age group, 6 through 12, 2 through 6, and infants to age 2.
As with the coronavirus vaccine trials, investigators like Frank are speeding up the bureaucratic steps for submitting vaccine data to move the process along more quickly.
Nothing like cutting corners in your trial for the mandated vaccine.
Nothing like speeding that up.
It's all about speed.
We need it as quick as possible.
Meanwhile, kids under 12 have Almost no chance of dying from COVID.
Very, very low chance of catching COVID whatsoever.
But even if they do catch it, like even if they have it, they have like a 99.98% chance of survival.
Multiply that by the likelihood that they even get it, which is extremely low.
You're looking at a minuscule number of actually, you know, very bad effects from catching COVID-19.
Meanwhile, the vaccines, the latest VAERS, Numbers upwards of 15,000 deaths from the COVID vaccine.
Half a million side effects.
It's not even included the numbers out of Europe, which are millions, millions higher than the ones here.
Children's extremely low risk confirmed by study.
So it's almost impossible for a kid to get COVID.
It's almost impossible for them to die from COVID.
But now they are rolling out vaccines for children under 12 down to zero, essentially.
As soon as your kid's born, maybe he'll get a coronavirus vaccine just in case, right?
Completely unnecessary.
Completely, what's that phrase again?
Arbitrary and capricious.
Everything that we're covering today, arbitrary and capricious.
So, totally unnecessary, but it's happening.
It's coming, and once they roll this out, they'll mandate it soon after.
You watch.

You're watching the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.

Pfizer will pay $2.3 billion in civil and criminal fines.
The criminal fine, nearly $1.2 billion, is the single largest fine in U.S.
history.
The U.S.
government will also supervise Pfizer's behavior for the next five years.
17-year-old Shamsu undergoes a DNA test to prove he's a victim of a failed drug trial by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer that happened 15 years ago in Kano State, Nigeria.
11 children were killed and several more injured when Pfizer tested out a drug called Trovan on 200 children.
The drug was supposed to treat a deadly regional outbreak of meningitis.
Pfizer agreed to pay $75 million in compensation in 2009.
Have you taken the vaccine, sir?
chris sky
No, I haven't taken it yet.
unidentified
And we are having an ethical committee dealing with the question of who is getting it.
chris sky
So they're going to plan on getting FDA approval for the COVID vaccine next week so they can try to push all these mandates on everybody because they're going to tell you how safe and effective it is.
Well, guess how they did it?
They got a woman named Janet Woodcock, who is the chief for the Center of Drug Evaluation Research, and they put her as the acting head of the FDA to give her the approval status.
And this woman is personally responsible for approving both OxyContin Which is causing a friggin epidemic and fentanyl, the two most dangerous drugs on the market today that got approved by this woman, Janet Woodcock, who's now going to be approving our COVID vaccines so they can push everybody with mandates.
brianna keilar
This would tip businesses and colleges to consider mandating the vaccine once it gets full approval.
Would you urge them to do that?
unidentified
I think it's a very reasonable thing to do.
The FDA has now granted full approval of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, making it the first COVID vaccine to transition from emergency authorization status to full FDA approval.
bill de blasio
This is a game-changing moment.
We've been waiting for this for a long time to have the full approval vaccine.
We now have it.
This helps us move forward and we're moving forward with our schools with this new vaccine mandate.
joe biden
After a strict process, the FDA has reaffirmed its findings that the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective, and the FDA has given its full and final approval.
So let me say this loudly and clearly.
If you're one of the millions of Americans who said that they will not get the shot until it has full and final approval of the FDA, it has now happened.
The moment you've been waiting for is here.
It's time for you to go get your vaccination.
And get it today.
Today I'm calling on more country, more companies I should say, in the private sector, to step up with vaccine requirements that'll reach millions more people.
If you're a business leader, a non-profit leader, a state or local leader, who has been waiting for full FDA approval to require vaccinations, I'm calling you now to do that.
Require it.
Do what I did last month.
Require your employees to get vaccinated or face strict requirements.
alex jones
This is right out of the federal government's own numbers.
Daily report trends.
Romania.
How do we explain this situation in Romania?
25% of the population vaccinated.
Cases and deaths plummeting to basically zero.
Or the lowest in the world.
Same thing in Australia.
They got 27% taking the vaccine.
No one is in the hospital now that is unvaccinated.
Now, what's happening in the most vaccinated state in the United States?
Current hospitalizations, Hawaii.
You can see the mask mandate and the inoculations all starting right here.
And what happens right when they start the shots?
Hospitalization spike, but it takes a while for the mutations to grow and to get out into the population.
And then suddenly, Look at that spike.
unidentified
Cross the border!
Everyone cross the border, they can't hold them up!
alex jones
We're talking millions in France, millions in Australia, overrunning the police, overrunning the shopping malls, the grocery stores, saying no to the COVID checkpoints, saying they know it's the Great Reset.

harrison smith
Third hour of American Journal has begun.
I'm very happy to welcome my guest, Clint Russell.
He's a podcast host.
He's the host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast, aptly named as Clint's passion for freedom is nothing short It's a pleasure, Harrison.
nature his podcast can be found on your favorite platform or by visiting liberty lockdown podcast.com he's on youtube as well liberty lockdown his twitter is at liberty lock pod and his instagram is liberty lock down uh website liberty lockdown podcast.com is where you go to find all of his work and all the links to his social media thank you so much for coming on clint it's a pleasure harrison it's uh it's a true honor well i'm very very happy to have you on and uh you know i was
I was really enjoying going through your Twitter feed, and I think our audience will as well.
And I really love this because this ties in exactly what we were just talking about.
You say, friendly reminder that the flu is also a deadly virus which is more lethal for kids in most years and you never considered masking them in school.
Just admit you don't know a...
Blinking a thing about what's happening and you'll do whatever the government tells you no matter who has to suffer.
It's such a good point.
I mean, the flu is a much bigger danger to kids than COVID ever was.
And I think when you put it in that frame, you realize all of these mandates and the masks and everything else are really absurd overreach, aren't they?
unidentified
The most absurd overreach in my lifetime, that's for sure.
I mean, and the fact that we're doing it to kids, that's where I started to really lose my cool, to be honest.
You know, if you want to punish adults for your own ignorance, that's one thing.
But when you have kids that are having increasing suicidal ideation, as well as drug overdoses, drug usage, and yet no one's willing to reflect on this.
You know, we're all concerned about saving human lives, and yet we have children that are losing their minds.
Because of, you know, irrational fears of adults and no one, there's no rational actor in the room to say, why are we doing this?
Perhaps we shouldn't.
We've never done this to children in the past, despite the fact that their lives are endangered by the common cold, the flu.
It's like, I don't know, man.
It's heartbreaking to watch.
And I'm just grateful that some people are starting to wake up to this madness.
harrison smith
Yeah, I mean, I think people are, but you know, this is sort of the question that I've been asking myself is like, how do we fight back against this stuff while preserving the things that we're fighting for, right?
I mean, what we're experiencing now is just total government overreach.
It's total destruction of liberty.
But how do we fight back against this without taking on the same tactics of the people that are, you know, Using the power that they have to destroy our lives.
I want to be libertarian, but it seems like it's a losing tactic at this point because our opponents have no qualms about using whatever power they have to just encroach on every one of our liberties and destroy everything that we love.
How do we fight back against that without becoming them, without going, all right, if you're going to use every power that you have to destroy the things I love, then I'll use everything I have to destroy what you love.
And it becomes this feedback loop of just destruction and chaos.
Just how do we maintain liberty here, I guess, is my question.
unidentified
It's a tough fight, friend.
I mean, it really is because it amounts to, it's very similar to the war on terror.
It's like, or any war for that matter.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
You know, you kill, you kill one of us, we kill one of you, we create more and more bad blood on each side of this war.
And it's, um, you know, I'm a peaceful person.
I'm, I'm a libertarian.
I don't, I don't have any interest in, in military conflict or things like that, but it's like, if the war is brought to your door, what do you do?
Right.
You know?
At the end of the day, though, I still go out of my way to maintain my principles and respect what I view as my enemy at this point and not try to escalate things.
But in a defensive posture, I'm also not willing to cave any further.
I have drawn a line in the sand where I say, you can't continue on this path.
I know where this leads.
I'm not asleep.
I'm aware of your intentions.
You know, I don't know how you maintain it because ultimately at the end of the day, libertarians aren't really interested in political power.
We just want to be left alone.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
But if political power is a more peaceful path than, you know, The alternative.
I'll just put it like that.
Then I think wielding political power may be the lesser of two evils.
And I don't usually talk about lesser of two evils because I don't vote like that.
But I just I don't know, man.
You got any ideas for me?
harrison smith
No, darn it!
But no, this is great, though.
This is why you're on, to sort of talk this out and try to figure this out, because I know a lot of people out there are experiencing this.
And one thing that I've noticed and kind of been harping on, and as sort of depressing and demoralizing as it is, to me it seems like a lot of what we're experiencing now is not at the hands of the government, it's at the hands of our fellow Americans.
It's not the government coming in and forcing people to exclude unvaccinated people.
They're doing it on their own.
They're excluding their own family members.
They're doing it themselves.
So it's like, all right, now we're not even facing compulsion from a top-down power structure.
That power structure has been absorbed into the population, and now our fellow Americans, our fellow citizens are the ones carrying out the oppression on behalf of the government while they receive no benefit for it.
So it's like, what do we do when it's our fellow Americans and not our government oppressors?
Oppressing us and enacting these restrictions and enacting these laws and they can't be convinced out of it I mean I can show them evidence and if it doesn't come from CNN or or the Lord Fauci then they just don't believe it.
So I'm sort of at a loss here going, well, I know how to fight against the government.
I don't know how to fight against my fellow American if they can't even listen to reason.
unidentified
Well, yeah, I mean, the listen to the reason part is the thing that we have to get past, because ultimately the title of the channel we're on right now, Info Wars, that's what we're in.
I mean, we are in an information war and ultimately the propaganda from the government to the people has been so successful so far that they are Almost unreachable.
I mean, very, very close.
Fortunately, because of the suffering many of them have had to exist under for the past 18 months, I think more and more people are waking up.
So I think ultimately the race to the bottom benefits us because as tyranny increases, the pain to the people increases.
As the people feel that pain, they start to think more critically about the path that they're on.
Some of them, not all of them, Right.
Ultimately, as the pain increases, more and more of them will reflect on the propaganda they've been fed or start to notice that they've been propagandized.
I know many MAGA voters and things like that that I've ran into, especially in my own family, after the past year and a half have started to reflect more deeply on how they view things, who is telling them the truth, who has been lying to them.
And for that reason, I'm a little bit hopeful, but it's a fight, man.
harrison smith
And it is about sort of defining what it is that we're fighting for, right?
We can't just always be sort of lashing out in response to things that are happening.
We have to sort of be in the forefront and go, no, here's what we support.
We support liberty for anybody.
And then by having a foundational principled stance that we can then explain and expand on.
Because right now, as you point out, a lot of people are looking around and going, there's something not right about this.
There's something wrong about this, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
I guess it's up to us to define here's why you're being violated.
Here's why what you're experiencing is wrong.
And here's why you can stand up and forthright say, I reject this completely without having to justify yourself in the terms of the people who are trying to restrict you.
Right.
And I think this this covers the gamut, not even just in the idea of vaccine mandates, which themselves are just an egregious violation of liberty from the outset, but from social, social causes as well.
You know, like if you want to People think that you can't stand up against things like transgender kid, you know, drag queen story hour for kids if you aren't doing it from like a, well, I'm a Christian, so I just think this is wrong and blah, blah, blah.
No, no.
You can protect children because you have the, you know, non-aggression principle, which means you can't impose your beliefs onto children.
I mean, how do we, how do we establish that foundation of liberty that people can understand and have a firm root and go, okay, this is what I believe in.
This is why I'm fighting back.
unidentified
Well, I think that in my experience, you know, it's not really enough to reach people with your principles.
You have to reach them in their heart.
And, you know, sometimes principles work and sometimes it requires emotional appeals.
Sometimes you have to, you know, play dirty a little bit and get in there and actually demonstrate It's not fear for fear's sake.
It's letting people know, here's what we're going towards.
We'll be back on the other side.
so be it.
But I don't, I don't view it as fear mongering because I look at these as historical cognates.
Like this is, this is the path we're on.
This is where we're headed.
If you do this to children, this is the culture you create.
If that culture gets to this level, this is what transpires after that.
It's not beautiful.
harrison smith
It's not, it's not fear for fear's sake.
It's, it's letting people know here's what we're going towards.
We'll be back on the other side.
Stay with us.
Welcome back folks.
My guest is Clint Russell.
He's the host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast.
You can find him on Twitter at libertylockpod.
That's his Twitter handle.
And on Instagram at libertylockdown.
His website libertylockdownpodcast.com is where you can go to find the links to all these sites and more.
And as he points out there in his Twitter profile, he's Joe Rogan meets Ron Paul in podcast form, which I think is a fantastic and fantastic pair of individuals to emulate in any particular way.
But You know, we're talking about sort of how to maintain the principles of liberty, how to express the principles of liberty.
And one thing, Clint, you know, I've been saying is you have to take it out of the paradigm that they're trying to set you up with.
Right.
That's like, oh, you just won't take the vaccine because you think it's dangerous.
But here we'll show how it's not dangerous.
So now you have to take it.
My response is like.
I don't give a damn if it's safe or not.
You're not injecting anything into me without my express and informed permission, right?
If it's saline solution, no, you're not injecting that in me.
If it's my, you can take my own blood out.
And if you want to inject my own blood back into me, the answer is no, unless I give you permission to do it, right?
So it's not necessarily about trying to argue it on their platform, but removing it from that and going, here are the principles we stand by.
Forcing injections of anything into anybody is a total violation, an act of aggression and or an act of coercion and violence if you're, you know, if you're using, you know, threats in that way.
What do you think about that in the terms of just like saying, look, here's the principle.
You don't inject anything into me.
I don't care how safe it is or who approves it.
You have to have informed consent.
Is that a good place to start?
unidentified
Oh, absolutely.
And just in the prior segment, I was talking about how sometimes arguing our principles are not enough to convince people of our correctness.
In this situation, it is enough.
And it is vital that you do not play the FDA approval game.
I've been saying this for months.
I was like, this has nothing to do with FDA approval.
This is a principled stance.
You do not have the right to mandate any Anything goes in my body.
Period.
This is, in my opinion, this is the problem with allowing the war on drugs to persist for all the decades that we did, is that it's not that much of a logical leap to go from you are not allowed to put this in your body to you have to put this in your body.
harrison smith
Right.
unidentified
And, you know, it's the same principle.
I'm not a drug addict.
I don't do drugs.
But I have advocated for decades now that I have the right to do so if I see fit.
Same thing with injecting things into me.
It's a two-way street here.
My body is my property.
You do not infringe upon my person.
And that's all there is to it.
Whether the vaccine's perfectly safe or not, it doesn't matter.
That is not the point.
The point is, I get to choose.
And it's very ironic that the people that are constantly pushing my body, my choice, and abortion rights and things like that, they are completely unwilling to respect our claim to the same line of reasoning.
And in that situation, there's another human being on the line, so it's even more convoluted.
But on this side, it's extremely clear.
You do not have the right to do so.
Period.
And as far as I'm concerned, a vaccine mandate, vaccine passports, not allowing me to travel, not allowing me to go interstate, as they're now floating the concept, if I don't do your bidding, that is a declaration of war.
That's my opinion.
I think there's a lot of people that feel like that, and I'm just not afraid to say it.
If you're going to make me a second-class citizen, if you're going to create a caste system in this country, if you're going to have an apartheid state, which is essentially what they're doing, they want to have two classes of people, the vaxxed and the non, my answer to that is no, period.
You can't do it.
I won't allow it.
It's un-American.
It's against everything I believe in as a free man on this planet.
Just to my will like I am gonna test my resolve against yours if you want to if you want to treat me like a slave I'm gonna fight you like you're my slave master.
harrison smith
So get ready Right, right.
And yeah, I Had that same argument with you know, abortion where it's like, well, when it comes to abortion rights, it's like my body, my choice.
And our response to that is like, well, there's another human being, so it's not exactly your body and that human being deserves protection.
You know, it's nuanced and it's not exactly that.
Meanwhile, we're like, oh, the vaccine, my body, my choice.
And they're like, not anymore, sucker.
It's our body now, right?
Like, there's no, they don't even try to qualify it in any way.
They're just like, screw you, you're done.
And, you know, I thought we resolved this, right?
You think back to World War II and the classic, like, first they came for the students, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a student.
Then they came for, and nowadays it's like, first they came for, you know, the anti-vaxxers and that was good because they deserved it.
And then they came for the, you know, anti-maskers and they deserve that too.
And then they came, you know, and it's like this, this principle of just like, yeah, I might disagree with you, but you have the right to express yourself or we have the right to, you know, differentiate on these different ideas.
It's just been totally lost as a concept in our society to the massive detriment of absolutely everybody.
And yet people can't recognize this.
And it's, it's, it's incredible.
It's, it's mind blowing that, that despite our massive history of Our country fighting world wars to promote this concept, now it's just been tossed to the wayside because everybody's got the sniffles.
I mean, it's insane, right?
unidentified
It truly is.
I mean, it's nothing I could have ever foreseen in this country.
Call me deluded, call me delusional.
harrison smith
Optimistic.
unidentified
Yeah, I saw these principles being sacrosanct, like we do not infringe upon bodily autonomy to this level.
I just never thought the American people would accept it, much less endorse it, support it out of the fear of something that is relatively benign.
Imagine had this been a really severe plague.
I mean, people would be allowing the government to throw the sick into concentration camps for sure.
And I think they still have some Yes, I'm a really hardline libertarian, but I thought these principles were shared by the American people.
I thought this was not a monopolized belief from libertarians.
And it's like, even, even, you know, yes, I'm a really hardline libertarian, but I thought these principles were shared by the American people.
I thought this was not a, this was not a monopolized belief from libertarians.
This was like, we all agree on this one thing.
that we have bodily autonomy to a large extent, particularly when it comes to putting stuff in our body.
Like this is, I use, I oftentimes use anti-rape argumentation.
I really feel like that's kind of the argument they're making.
You can actually, you can take out the word, you have to get this to get this job, And it sounds like the most egregious sexual harassment you've ever heard of in your life.
I mean, they're like, well, if your boss says that you have to do this to get this job, that's OK.
And it's like, well, that's never been OK when it came to putting something in your body.
But now apparently it is.
It's madness.
harrison smith
Yeah, they get the justification.
Of course, we know that the way that they, you know, they didn't come out in February of 2020 and say, all right, you're going to stay inside for a year until we mandate vaccines and mask your child.
Like nobody would have accepted that in February 2020.
It's always incremental, which is why you say, like you said, you know, fear mongering may be the answer here, but it's not fear mongering.
It's literally just Just showing people where this goes.
This is the bizarre thing to me.
I had these conversations with friends and family members a year ago, a year and a half ago, going, look, it's not just going to be two weeks.
Look, it's not just going to be masks in really populous areas where we might be particularly dangerous, where we might actually get the virus.
It's going to continue.
It's going to get worse.
And now we see places like Australia where they do have concentration camps or they are putting people in camps.
I mean, it's absurd.
So it's not even fear mongering.
It's just like pointing out, like, if you don't stop it here, here's where it goes next.
And here's where it goes after that.
And here's where it goes after that.
And we're proven right time and time again.
And yet people can't wrap their minds around this.
And they go along with the incremental destruction of liberty.
Completely blind.
I mean, boiling frogs is just... that's who we are, I guess, right now, folks.
We gotta go to commercial break.
We'll be right back with Clint Russell, Liberty Lockdown Pod podcast on Twitter at Liberty Lock Pod.
I hope you follow him.
And we'll be right back with more from Clint.
Stay with us.
unidentified
You're watching the American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
Watch live right now at band.video.
harrison smith
Alright, welcome back.
Ladies and gentlemen, Clint Russell is with me.
He's the host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast.
You retweeted this and I wanted to mention this anyway because Thomas Massey has just been a total champion of liberty in the US government, second probably only to Rand Paul.
But he says this, inserting needles and chemicals into people without their consent is violence.
Depriving them of their basic human rights because they won't give consent is also violence.
Those who promote either should be ashamed.
Pretty simple stuff, isn't it?
But people just can't wrap their minds around this, can they, Clint?
unidentified
You would think it wouldn't be so hard.
I mean, this is what I went back to on the prior segment.
It's like, these are basic principles.
It's so basic.
And now they want to make it so that, you know, they want to Basically make anybody who's unwilling to go along with this unemployable or at least at the very least make their life as hard as possible.
And if you do that, you're going to radicalize millions of people because I mean, it's not even as we've talked about already.
It's not about this vaccine or this treatment or whatever you want to call it.
This is the principle of bodily autonomy.
You cannot force me to put something in my body.
And God bless Thomas Massey.
As you said, he has been probably the best congressman when it comes to this topic and many topics.
He's an absolute hero of mine.
So I was thrilled to see him take this stand.
This has been a real litmus test for me as to like which politicians I've respected in the past.
Have they maintained my respect through this?
And in Thomas Massie's case, it has increased exponentially.
harrison smith
Yeah, well, you know, it's not even necessarily has made me aware of any politicians and how I should feel about them, but it's really just confirmed it, right?
Because you've got Thomas Massie and people like Rand Paul coming out and recognizing the danger of mandating vaccines while you have Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham like, well, I guess we're just going to have to mandate it.
Not a surprise, but it is sort of solidifying.
Okay, here are the people that actually understand the principles that we're fighting for.
Here are the people that are willing to throw those to the side for political expediency or whatever else.
And I think that the key thing that's being, you know, being Implemented into the minds of Americans is that liberty is somehow selfish.
That individuality is somehow being selfish, and you should be punished because how dare you try to stand up for yourself when we're all in this together.
I mean, that's the key that they're trying to implement, right?
Is that individualism and liberty is somehow selfish, and it's much more giving and much more enlightened to just submit to control.
And people believe that now, and they go along with it, even if they don't even realize that that's what they're agreeing to.
unidentified
No, you're exactly right.
That's what this is.
It's a fight between collectivism versus individualism.
And I'm glad that you recognize it.
I'm glad that many people are starting to recognize it.
And the thing is that individualism is not actually selfish.
That's the thing.
We have historical analysis that we can demonstrate.
When you have a culture that is formulated around valuing the individual, You end up with a collective result that is better than collectivism can provide.
That's why we believe in it.
You know, if there was some argument to be had that historically collectivism is far superior to individualism, this would be a real argument.
There is no argument!
The greatest civilizations on Earth are based around valuing and protecting individual rights.
We know this.
This is a principle I thought every American shared.
So I'm going to continue to beat that drum.
I'm going to point out that you are wrong to believe that a collectivist response to this virus is the better way to go.
It's not.
A technocratic approach to this virus is the better way to go.
It is not.
We have a year and a half now to prove us correct.
Early on, it was hard to make this argument because people were scared.
Now, I have hard evidence that allowing Fauci and a handful of Scientific elites, if you want to call them that.
At this point, I would say not that.
But allowing these guys to dictate policy on a grand scale is catastrophic.
The truth is on our side.
Stand strong and speak confidently out against this because we are correct here.
And that's really what I want to drive home to people.
You have a right to stand up for yourself more than anything because you're right.
That's the real reason you should be very forceful at this point.
There is no reason for hesitancy or to speak softly.
You gotta say it loud and you gotta say it with courage.
harrison smith
Yeah, and that's the thing.
It's like I, again, we just keep saying like, we thought this, we thought this was America.
We thought everybody understood this.
Like, you know, I think back in this, maybe a little bit off the rails, but it just, it sort of aligns.
I think, you know, I think back to several years ago, there was a contest in Texas where it was a draw Muhammad contest.
Now I have no desire to draw Muhammad.
I don't want to insult Islam.
It's just not something I would want to do anyway.
But then you had, Extremists saying we're gonna bomb you for drawing Muhammad it's like well now I have to draw Muhammad because if you're telling me that you're threatening me with violence if I you know don't do this thing or if I do do this thing I'm gonna do that thing just to show you that your threats don't work just to just to stop that right there put the line in the stand and go if you're gonna try to threaten me with violence for doing something very innocuous and that doesn't really matter then I have to stand up for you.
I never wanted to do this, but now you're making me draw Muhammad because you're threatening me.
And it's like, where did that spirit go?
I was talking to a friend at the time and he was like, isn't this terrible?
They're drawing Muhammad.
And I was like, yeah, but you don't let bullies get away with this stuff.
And this is what we're experiencing now.
They're just like, we're going to destroy your life if you don't do this thing.
And it's like, I was going to do that thing, but now that you're saying you're going to destroy my life, now I'm not going to do it, because screw you for daring to try to bully me.
I'm an American, damn it.
So where did this spirit go, Clint?
How did we lose this?
unidentified
Well, that's a great question.
And I would go back to the public school system and kind of the indoctrination centers that craft people that are willing to take orders.
I mean that's ultimately what our system is structured around now.
And it's completely counter to the principles that made this nation very special.
But what makes this nation really special is that we are founded on rebellion.
That spirit flows through us to this day.
I don't care how indoctrinated you are.
You still feel it.
We still have deified our founding fathers in a way that everybody in this country, unless you've bought into the critical race theory lie that everyone historically was just an irredeemable racist.
I think that these principles, they resonate with people.
I mean, that's why we had The Patriot and Braveheart was such an incredible movie.
It's like that spirit of rebellion and that willingness to sacrifice everything for liberty is something that still resonates with people.
And that's what I try and bring up in people's soul.
That's what we need right now.
We need really courageous, rebellious people that are willing to say, no, because you want to do this to me, the answer is hell no.
And that's kind of my energy on it.
And God willing, we'll get a hell of a lot more people feeling the same way here soon. - Yeah, I hope so.
harrison smith
And I hope that, again, people recognize that, look, if you wanna take the vaccine, take the vaccine, but you should still, like when you hear that they're gonna fire somebody for not taking the vaccine, you should rebel against that.
Even if you think it's, you know, that somebody should get the vaccine, you should recognize that allowing to set the precedent that they're going to destroy your livelihood or exclude you from public life because you refuse to, you know, bow to their medical tyranny, you should rebel against that because we've seen time and time again, again, it's not just like, It's as you're pointing out, you know, same thing with the whole pandemic event that has gone on for the last year and a half.
The same thing has happened since 1976.
The proof is in the pudding.
We have shown that this is the right way to go.
And we've shown that after a year and a half, the government has had full control and is We basically had dictatorial powers to do whatever they want, and now we have spikes bigger than ever before, and the hospitals are overflowing like they never have before.
It's like, well, the one thing you know from that is that the people in charge have failed.
So now we have the evidence that liberty is the right way to go.
Letting people make their own decisions is the correct way to go.
We have all the proof that we could ever want.
It's been proven out through history time and time again.
Liberty is superior.
And yet people are tossing that aside, which I think is one of the key reasons why they're Indeed.
unidentified
See, the thing is, it's not even a matter of whether or not you want to get the vaccine.
You don't need to provide that information to your employer.
That is the stand you take.
Don't say, I don't want the vaccine.
It has nothing to do with it.
None of your business.
That needs to be our watchword.
information for my employment.
When I signed on, you didn't have the right to put things in my body and you still don't.
And just take the principled stance that it's none of your business.
And when it comes to me flying somewhere, also none of your business.
And when it comes to me traveling from California to Nevada, also none of your business.
Whether or not you want to get it, you can still stand with us in this fight. - None of your business.
harrison smith
That needs to be our watch word.
unidentified
- Let's go back and... - How you get so much?
harrison smith
Ladies and gentlemen, final segment with Clint Russell.
He's the host of the Liberty Lockdown Podcast.
You can find him on Twitter at libertylockpod or the website libertylockdownpodcast.com.
You actually have some great guests on your podcast, some really entertaining people, some really kind of important people.
Your latest episode was with Spike Cohen, who was the VP candidate for the Libertarian Party.
How was that conversation?
unidentified
Oh tremendous.
Spike and I met at Freedom Fest in South Dakota about two weeks ago and we've been following each other online for a while and just to meet him in person.
It's great to meet any political figure in person because you get to actually get a feel for who they are as a person.
I gotta say, how I felt about him during the campaign was positive.
Meeting him in person.
I'm now a true supporter of his.
He's a, he's a brilliant guy.
I mean, I've also had Dave Smith on multiple times who's making the rounds and made very well for liberty.
Yeah, he is.
And he may very well be the candidate for the LP in the next presidential election.
So I'm hopeful that that'll happen.
But yeah, I do solo shows as well as guest shows.
And I think that, you know, if you want more of the impassioned Alex Jones styled rant, check out my solo shows.
And if you want more of the Joe Rogan experience, then that will be with the guests.
harrison smith
Yeah, that's awesome, man.
So let's talk a little bit about politics moving forward, because to me, there is a massive opportunity here for Americans to really come together and reject the two party system that we recognize, as we were talking about.
You've got the authoritarians on the left, the authoritarians on the right.
Isn't there some middle ground where libertarians and even I would say like kind of the the farther left, like Bernie Sanders supporters, like maybe we can sort of shake them up and make them realize what what they really are standing up against.
And can't we come together and go, look, we need to save America.
We need to prevent this globalist takeover by these countries.
Cabals of technocratic elites, like can't we come together and stand up for the people of America and the people really around the world for freedom?
Is there a political path forward here where we can reject these two parties and and you know come out on top?
unidentified
I think there is but it requires people to see through their own narrow, you know, kind of propagandized window.
I made this point with Spike Cohen on my show a few days ago.
If you look at the Black Lives Matter folks and the MAGA folks, they were essentially arguing over a single word.
And that word was again.
That's all they were saying, because Make America Great Again, Black Lives Matter was saying it wasn't so great for us.
I mean, that's how close we are.
We're basically one word apart from having the same mission, is that we want to make America great for everybody.
And I think if you can see past the tribalistic narratives that are propagated by the media and politicians and Hollywood and social media across the board, I'm not saying it's easy, but It's fairly transparent once you start to, you know, take that first red pill, you start to see how clear it is that people are being divided needlessly.
And I agree with you.
There is definitely common ground to be found amongst the left and the right.
And I hope that there's a political figure that can galvanize a movement in that direction.
harrison smith
Well, no, I think you're exactly right.
I mean, look at all of the number of topics where we align on the same conclusion, but maybe our reasons for getting there might be a little bit different.
But I think that does matter, though, because, I mean, we're against war.
We've always been against the war on drugs.
We've always been against police brutality.
But then you have groups that come in and go, yeah, we're against police brutality.
against black people.
And you're like, well, hold on, wait, this isn't a race thing.
No, it's a police brutality thing.
Can we focus on that instead of the, you know, here we've got the race thing, which is divisive and not really based on fact.
And over here is police brutality, which we can all agree is bad.
Can we not come together on that and see through the propaganda that tells you, no, it's all about race.
You got to focus on race.
And this is all about, you know, you got to tear down white people to move forward.
It's like, hold on.
We all agree that police brutality is bad.
Can we not come together on that?
And leave the race stuff to the side.
I mean, I think there's a lot of stuff like that where we really are on the same side, but then it's the propaganda and the control of the media that allows those movements to be divided and sort of sequestered off into the pre-established divisions that then just keep us totally impotent and incapable of actually making any legitimate changes for the better.
unidentified
Exactly.
And what we're all seeking is equal protection under the law.
That's ultimately what the Black Lives Matter at its core, you know, not the not the organization, but the movement itself was was asking for demanding.
And, you know, I think that people like Martin Luther King.
gave this message in a much more congealed, unified way.
It's now much more divisive in its very nature.
And it's like we are looking out for our own.
And that's the tribalistic stuff that I push back against.
But I think that there is obviously a need for us to galvanize in this moment.
Because if we get any more frayed societally, I think we're going to end up in a hot civil war.
And if you don't want that, it's vitally important that you see through the tribalistic propaganda that we're all experiencing on a regular basis and you get back to core principles of we're just trying to make this system better for everybody.
Don't treat these people as your enemy.
I mean, that's that's why I always go after the the MAGA folks when they they push back against Black Lives Matter and vice versa is because like Daniel Shaver and Duncan Lemp are, you know, white guys that were brutally murdered.
by the police as far as I'm concerned.
And this is an issue that touches everybody.
I don't bring those guys up because they're white.
I bring them up because the only victims of police brutality or murder that are brought up are minorities and no one gives a damn about these white people that are killed by the police.
So I'm trying to point out, hey, this is a problem that affects all of us.
And I think it's important that we come together in this moment if we want to actually make change, if we wanna make progress on this topic, We can't do it just for our little click, our little subset of humanity.
This it affects us all.
harrison smith
Right, right.
And it's almost like it's almost just like a misdiagnosis.
It's like, yeah, we're seeing we're seeing two different sets of symptoms, but we're trying to treat the core issue, the core sickness at the at the heart of it, which to me always goes back to control and government.
And, you know, you mentioned that the society is becoming more frayed and more sort of dislocated and jumbled and, you know, disagreeing with each other about sort of petty stuff that spirals out of control.
And it's that exact process that allows for control to come in because, you know, we say it all the time here.
Liberty requires responsibility.
If you want to be free, you've got to be able to live freely and be responsible in that case.
Because if you are just, you know, if violence is going to break out, you've got to have an authority come in and impose control.
If you can't control yourself, then you have to have an authority come in and control you, you know, from top-down structures.
So, you know, how do we manifest that we together can control ourselves and can live together without having to have a top-down authority come in to stop the fraying from happening, right?
unidentified
Right.
Well, and ironically, Because we have such a strong top-down system right now, it makes it appear as if we can't survive without it.
And it actually plays into the hands of globalists that say, look at these people.
They're savages.
They can't manage themselves.
And the truth is, the reason we're at each other's throats is because the federal government at the highest levels and even above the federal government to this technocratic elite that kind of manipulates global politics, they make us each other's enemies.
Because we're all fighting over income inequality and all these things that are ultimately a product of a system that is too top down and the hierarchy is based off of Uh, power as opposed to merit.
And I'm trying to get back to where merit allows you to climb up that ladder of the hierarchy.
And until we get there, we're going to have people misattributing who the actual culprit is.
And the culprit, as usual, is the government.
So unless we can identify who our enemy is, and I say that very cautiously, But ultimately, they are putting they are putting each other at or they are putting ourselves at odds with each other.
And it doesn't need to be this way.
I mean, it really doesn't.
So I'm hopeful that as as people as it gets worse, more and more people will start to realize, hey, my neighbor down the street that wears the mask, even though I think he's kind of ridiculous, he's not my enemy.
It's the guy who's indoctrinated and propagandized him into believing that he's he has to fear the air, you know.
harrison smith
Fear the air, yeah, fear his fellow Americans.
No, it's truly absurd, and hopefully we can push back against this and make some major moves, and I think you're doing a great job in helping to provide that basis upon which this foundation can be built.

Quick plug, real quick.
For the Bioseptic Pros, we actually have a fifth wheel.
So I bought it for that, and it works great on the gray tank and the black tank.
So those of you that are preparing to bug out when you need to, get it for your rig.
It works fabulous.
alex jones
I mean, since you called in about that, because we, again, got a guy that owned a patent with an oil company who literally, you know, sells massive amounts of this to finally bring it to the consumer market, so we're really proud of it because it works great and it's innovative, and that is one of the off-label things it can do is for boats and for travel trailers and for RVs.
I mean, we're told that even older systems have gotten gummed up that's really good at cleaning them out.
What did it do for your system?
unidentified
I put a tablespoon down my bathroom sink, my kitchen sink, and then about an eighth of a cup into the black tank.
It's great for eliminating the smell.
It seems that everything, you know, flushes out through the hoses and the tank much more easy, but I really like the fact that it really does a great job on controlling the odor.
alex jones
Well, that's what we've been told by the folks that developed it over 20 years ago.
This is used at hog farms.
It's used in oil spills.
I mean, this stuff will eat paper.
It'll eat leather.
It'll eat some forms of rubber, but nothing inside your RV.
I mean, it is really, really strong and really, really powerful.
So we're glad that you tried it out.

It is through our five senses that we are kept fascinated and hypnotized by the lies we are told.
And the only way to see through this illusion is with our higher senses, which is why fluoridated water is a big problem.
Consuming too much fluoride forms phosphate crystals around the pineal gland and shuts down its natural functions.
Natural functions which have been known for millennia.
The Hindu chakras align with the endocrine system.
The chakra aligned with the pineal gland is the third eye.
Also described as the seat of the soul, the pineal gland is what connects us to higher levels of consciousness and otherwise unseen dimensions of reality.
Fluoride-free water is essential to keeping our pineal gland healthy.
Our water filtration systems with the proper filters will keep your drinking water fluoride-free, and the Pro-Pure showerhead will seal the deal.
