brian wilson ▲ ● ▼		Is China sending drone swarms to spy on militaries around the world?
		According to the Warzone publication, the US Navy has finally released video footage of an incident from 2019, where six unidentified drones flew over its most advanced surface combatant, the USS Zumwalt, while it was in international waters 17 miles off the coast of Southern California.
		At approximately 8.30 p.m.
		on April 24, 2019, at least six unknown unmanned aerial systems were seen from 300 to 1,000 feet above the naval ship.
		Drone security specialist David Kovar described the flying objects as long-range quad drones with regularly spaced running lights, adding that they could be gasoline-powered with the ability to land and take off vertically.
		Most likely launched from a boat.
		He says these types of aircraft are a favorite of the Chinese Navy.
		Is China probing for a drone attack or just gathering intel?
		In fact, during the early months of 2019, there were more than half a dozen similar incidents where drones swarmed U.S. naval vessels off the coast of Southern California.
		One of which was a surveillance operation launched from a cargo ship called the Bass Strait, which is owned and operated out of Hong Kong.
		During the incident, the cargo ship was unsuccessfully contacted by the U.S. naval vessel.
		In all of these encounters, the drone swarm flies in a triangle formation with running lights underneath each unmanned drone.
		The drones were assessed to be conducting collection operations on the naval ships.
		These incidents involving multiple drones have increased significantly worldwide since 2019, raising the alarm.
		On April 5, 2021, the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Michael Gilday, stated in regards to drone swarms that, quote, there have been other sightings by aviators in the air and by other ships.
		Not only of the United States, but of other nations.
		Clearly, the U.S. Navy is concerned about swarms of drones launched from international waters.
		Just in July of 2022, the Naval Surface Warfare Center ran an event called Silent Swarm 22, a large-scale experimentation event that focused on electromagnetic warfare employed on small-domain unmanned systems.
		In other words, drones.
		The logo for their event even includes drones swarming a U.S. naval ship.
		150 participants from multiple Department of Defense agencies conducted the exercise for over two weeks with more than 17 technologies and electromagnetic spectrum related capabilities.
		Because aside from spying, these drones could be used as the delivery system for an electromagnetic pulse attack, or worse.
		Sonora Laughlin, the deputy project lead, stated, quote, At this event, we want to create an environment that allows positive and constructive testing of emerging technologies for the future war fight.
		As she said, the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense are preparing for drone warfare in the near future.
		And this type of war will be fought with China.
		It only makes sense that the culprit behind these drone swarms is China, given that just this week Taiwan's military shot down a drone hovering over one of its island outposts just off the Chinese coast after it entered restricted airspace over Taiwan.
		Following a series of flares and warning shots, the drone maintained its position, so it was finally shot down by the Taiwanese military.
		Just the day before this incident, Taiwan claims it warned off drones hovering over three of its islands off the coast of the Chinese port city of Xiamen.
		The state-run South China Morning Post claims that the drone was a civilian-operated drone.
		However, it seems far more likely that it belonged to the Chinese military and was collecting intelligence on Taiwan and its naval defense capabilities.
		Will a future Chinese invasion of Taiwan begin with drone swarms?
		And what does China have in mind for the west coast of the United States?
		An EMP attack before a land invasion?
		Or will the US Navy only be stunned to prevent any serious interference with their conquering of Taiwan?
		At least one thing is for sure.
		these drone swarms are definitely not UFOs.

harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
		Welcome to The American Journal.
		I'm your host, Harrison Smith. Infowars.com, band.video.
		Very glad to have you here today.
		We'll be joined by Clint Russell in the third hour of Liberty Lockdown.
		We're talking about the state of liberty.
		In the modern United States, we're also going to dedicate a whole segment, probably this hour, to showing the latest piece from Greg Reese.
		When Greg Reese puts out a video that's nine minutes long, you know there's a reason for it.
		Usually he can get even the most complicated topics down to about four or five minutes.
		So when it's double that, you know it's double the intensity, and it really is.
		A mind-blowing video that he's put together, The Occult Mysteries of the Federal Reserve Bank.
		We'll go to that in just a little bit.
		But let's begin today as we do every day with our daily dispatch.
		All right, here it is, folks, your daily dispatch for Wednesday, the 7th of September 2022.
		Meta, aka Facebook, has been fined $400 million for the treatment of children's data on Instagram.
		European laws give children's data special protections.
		In 2020, Ireland's Data Protection Commission began investigating Instagram for making the accounts of children aged 13 to 17 set to public by default.
		And for allowing teenagers with business accounts on Instagram, many of them aspiring influencers, to make public their email addresses and phone numbers.
		Graham Doyle, a spokesperson for the Irish Data Protection Commission, confirmed that Instagram has been fined 405 million euros, or about $402 million, and said more details about the decision would be released next week.
		Politico first reported on the sign.
		One of the few places that Europe is actually...
		Makes use of their over-regulation, actually protecting children and their privacy on the internet.
		What do you know? Of course, $400 million.
		What is that, a month in Facebook ad sales?
		I think they'll be fine.
		These fines they level on these massive businesses, I think they need to be scaled up a little bit, in my opinion.
		There you go. That's happening in Europe.
		Also in Europe, the flip side to this coin of overregulation.
		Teacher sent to jail for refusing to use gender-neutral pronouns at Ireland's school.
		Enoch Burke, a schoolteacher in Ireland, was banned from his school over his refusal to use the pronoun they for a student.
		Then he was arrested for returning Monday.
		According to Irish news website RTE, Wilson's Hospital School suspended Burke from teaching while he underwent a disciplinary process for refusing to use the preferred pronoun of a student who identifies as transgender, which he said would violate his Christian beliefs, and a court issued an injunction temporarily barring him from teaching, according to RTE. Burke returned to the school anyways, and he was arrested and taken to prison.
		To prison with you, sir.
		You must respect the mental illness of the children.
		Just wild. He said, quote, I'm a teacher and I don't want to go to prison, Burke said, according to the New York Post.
		I want to be in my classroom today and that's where I was this morning when I was arrested.
		I love my school with its motto, res non verba, actions not words, but here I am today because I would not call a boy a girl.
		Pretty incredible. But of course, they cover this up with bureaucratic doublespeak saying, That's a good way of putting it.
		That first line.
		He wasn't jailed for misgendering somebody.
		He was jailed for a court order.
		A court order given because he misgendered somebody.
		Yes. Refusing to call a boy a girl, you'll be fired from your job and or jailed in Ireland now.
		Just incredible.
		The modern world, it's beautiful, isn't it?
		Another beautiful example of the modern world that's made the headlines cross.
		The country today, her name is Eliza Fletcher, white mother of two boys, jogging in 64% black Memphis, abducted and murdered by black male.
		Her name is Eliza Fletcher.
		Pretty horrific, but I seem to have wrapped this up fairly quickly.
		A body was found in Tennessee Monday amid a search for missing Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher, cop said.
		Memphis Police Department said that a deceased party was discovered in the area where a woman went missing around 8 p.m.
		The identification of the body was not immediately confirmed.
		Fletcher, 34, it has been confirmed now.
		And the... Perpetrator, or suspect at least, has been arrested.
		Fletcher34 vanished Friday after being violently abducted during her early morning jog.
		Cleotha Abstin was charged Sunday with especially aggravated kidnapping in her snatching.
		His motive for kidnapping of the mom of two remains unclear.
		Hmm, what could it have been?
		Hmm, gee, I wonder.
		Gosh, what could it have been?
		Woman, 34 years old, fit, beautiful blonde woman running down the street, kidnapped by a black guy who tore her off the street and murdered her later that day.
		Gee, what could have been the motive?
		It's hard to say, I guess.
		Fletcher, who comes from a pedigreed Tennessee family that founded the $3.2 billion private hardware company, was allegedly abducted by Abston around 4.30 a.m. Friday.
	Tennessee authorities obtained surveillance footage of the kidnapping, which appeared to show Abston running aggressively towards the victim and then forcing the victim, Eliza Fletcher, into the passenger side of the vehicle, according to a police affidavit, which also said there appeared to be a struggle.
	Police described Fletcher's abduction as violent and said it is believed she suffered a serious injury.
	Further, it is probable and apparent from witness statements that the injury left evidence of blood in the car that the defendant cleaned.
	Abston was arrested, but authorities said he refused to tell them Fletcher's location.
	Fletcher's location, he was busted after a good Samaritan found sandals at the scene of the crime with DNA linking him to the alleged kidnapping.
	Neighbors described Abston as a creep and pervert who constantly tried to pay women for sex.
	According to a report, another lovely, upstanding citizen of these United States.
	Fletcher was a married mom with two young boys and an elementary school teacher.
	Pretty horrific.
	Pretty rare in today's world, but increasingly less so as we spiral into lawlessness and violence nationwide.
	Violence, lawlessness, and of course, utter disgusting filth.
	From the San Francisco Chronicle, poop and pee fueled the huge algae bloom in San Francisco Bay.
	Fixing the problem could cost $14 billion.
	After an unprecedented harmful algae bloom first turned San Francisco Bay a murky brown color and then littered its shores with dead fish, many people assumed it was yet another climate disaster to add to the list, along with extreme doubt, wildfires, and heat waves.
	Yes, folks, yet another massive disaster blamed first on so-called climate change, only to later realize it was the direct and just un- Just completely,
	perfectly understandable, predictable, and at first easily reversible leftist program of allowing your basic needs to go unfilled while they spend millions and millions of dollars on ridiculous nonsense.
	Thank you. While scientists suspect climate change played a role in triggering the bloom, they all sat around figuring out how exactly they could blame this on climate change.
	How could we use this to convince more people to eat bugs and live in pods?
	How can we use this algae bloom to tell people to stop having children and to just die?
	No, it turns out that all you needed to do was not be leftists, not be liberals, and just do what you're supposed to do as the government rather than using the government exclusively and entirely to put forward your retarded agenda.
	Totally insane. Algae blooms need food to grow, and this one had plenty of nutrition originating in wastewater that the region's 37 sewage plants pump into the bay.
	In other words, we wouldn't have this problem without the discharge of the Bay Area's 8 million residents.
	There's been no evidence of a raw sewage leak.
	Rather, it's the regular amount of these nutritions have long been, have long made the bay primed for a harmful algae bloom, just like this one, which started in late July in Alameda and has recently flared up as far as Sausalito, Vallejo, and Fremont.
	So, just a, just, you know, kind of exactly like Jackson, Mississippi.
	Just a failure to properly run your water treatment and sewage plants is destroying the earth.
	Not to mention, of course, the runoff from the ubiquitous human feces on the streets of San Francisco.
	We'll do the final story on the other side.
unidentified		Stay with us, folks. Welcome back, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Finishing up with our Daily Dispatch here.
		We finish with probably the top story in the nation.
		Trump kept foreign nuclear secrets at Mar-a-Lago, report claims.
		One of the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago included...
		Details about a foreign country's nuclear capabilities.
		The Washington Post reported on Tuesday highlighting the serious nature of the sensitive material that was seized during the FBI's search of former president's residence last month.
		According to the Washington Post, the document in question included descriptions of the foreign nation's military defenses, including its nuclear defense readiness.
		The nation in question has not been identified, so it's unclear if it's a U.S. ally or rival power, except I'm pretty sure it's Israel.
		Some of the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago are highly classified and require authorization from either the president or cabinet member to be accessed by any other government official, the report adds, citing an unnamed source.
		These documents are reportedly made only available to government officials on a need-to-know basis, a higher threshold than top-secret clearance.
		The highly sensitive nature of these documents mean they're always stored in a secured, compartmented information facility and are monitored by a designated control officer, the report noted.
		Now, when you stop to think about this, there's only a select number of countries in the world that actually have nuclear capabilities.
		Many of these are not secret.
		We know all about them.
		The only one that really has a large nuclear arsenal and yet Refuses to allow any inspectors in or sign on to the non-proliferation agreement is the country of Israel.
		It's interesting because on August 12th, somebody on Twitter, God knows who it is, under the username Moonbase Commander, said, what if Israel got Trump to share state secrets and are now burning him?
		What a strange, what a bizarre thing to say.
		What a strange thing to say without any evidence.
		It's odd how it turns out that it does have to do with Israel, apparently.
		And of course, if you just search Israel and nuclear on Twitter right now, you see that this is the prevailing theory, although most people are making the claim that Trump was selling Israeli nuclear secrets to Saudi Arabia.
		For $2 billion.
		Again, showing that people have no idea just how much Saudi Arabia is already in cahoots with Israel.
		It's bizarre how that happens.
		But there you go. That's the latest.
		There's some sort of foreign nuclear secrets that Trump had a hold of.
		And they're pretending like they don't know which government this is from.
		We do. We know. We can read between the lines, and it's not that complicated.
		That's it. That's your Daily Dispatch.
		We have a lot of videos to go to today that I'm very excited to get to.
		We don't quite have time to...
		We're going to play that Greg Reese report in full a little bit later.
		There's a couple Tucker Carlson clips I want to play as well.
		Where do we have...
unidentified		I forgot to look at it before we looked at this.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Uh... Let's go to clip number 17.
		Here's Alex Stein on with Tucker Carlson making some very good points and again just talking about conspiracy theories in general and the way that the entire concept of a conspiracy theory has transformed over the last couple decades from something that only people on the fringe who are stupid pay attention to.
		That was the common Portrayal of a conspiracy theorist to everybody realizing that everything they said was entirely accurate and exactly right and we predicted everything decades ago.
alex stein ▲ ● ▼		Let's watch. And we look at the Iran-Contra.
		The CIA was trading drugs with Nicaraguans for guns.
		We were giving them guns, and then they were taking that cocaine, and they were flying it into Mena, Arkansas, which Bill Clinton happened to be the governor of that state.
		And they were taking those drugs, and they were putting them in Florida, they were putting them in California, Freeway, Ricky Ross.
		So they created the crack epidemic.
		So the people—the same people that did that, they're creating the problems that we have today.
		So it's just a new drug for a new era.
		Amazing. Not really.
		It's scary. No, no, no. I know what you mean.
		I know you just mean that sarcastically.
tucker carlson ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, no, but it's just interesting because, I mean, I grew up in a world where, and speaking for myself, I actually believed that conspiracy theories were the way that dumb, uninformed people explained the complex world.
		Yeah. If you couldn't understand what was actually happening, you resorted to a conspiracy theory, and that was a mark of...
		A low IQ. Of course.
		Now, I always think this, the more informed, the smarter the person, the more likely they are to be connecting the dots that you're connecting.
		So you grew up in a world where people just, like, assumed that the system was not on the level, I think.
alex stein ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's called cognitive dissonance.
		It's like you know the government has done corrupt stuff.
		You know there's classified levels of intelligence that you'll never be a part of.
		But you have cognitive dissonance thinking that the government has your back.
		They don't. It's a personal, people-control system.
		They want to control us.
		And that's one of the biggest parts of why they want to keep you depressed.
		Because, Tucker, when you're constantly depressed, you're in what is called fight or flight.
		So your hormone response is constant cortisol.
		And that's why Brian Stelter, those guys, they constantly have the ticker on CNN, how many people die, how many people die.
		Because people get addicted to that hormonal response.
		And once you're in that fear state of fight or flight, you can't see the forest for the tree right in front of your face.
		So then they can literally, like a dog with a treat, they can make you do whatever you want.
		And that treat is just more trauma, what I call trauma-based mind control, just more fear tactics in order to control you.
		So that's what's happening now is the mainstream media, not you, but most of the mainstream media uses fear to control us.
		And that's the same mechanism that the government uses.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I couldn't agree more. Yeah, extremely well done by Alex Stein explaining exactly how that works.
		It's exactly true.
		And, you know, I was talking to a guy this weekend, sort of friend of a friend, but he asked me the question that you hear kind of often when talking about somebody like Alex Jones, and it just doesn't make any sense.
		The question itself doesn't make any sense.
		They ask, how does he come up with his theories?
		Where do they come from?
		It's just like, no, he doesn't come up with anything, really.
		I don't come up with anything, really.
		You just... It's just there.
		It's just happening. It's just what it is, right?
		I always think back to that part from the Joe Rogan experience.
		I think the first time Alex went on where Alex was asking the same question.
		He's like, but why do you think this?
		Why do you think it's Alex?
		Just like, because it's true.
		What are you talking about?
		Why do I think this?
		Why do I think the sky is blue?
		Why do I think we breathe air?
		Why do I think that's a dog and that's a cat?
		It's just because it is.
		We don't have to come up with anything.
		We don't have to speculate on anything.
		These aren't conspiracy theories anymore.
		We're just we're just reporting on the conspiracies taking place.
		And this is kind of a good example of it from InfoWars today.
		Sweden's psychological defense agency says effective disinformation is basically true.
		Sweden's psychological defense agency Organization that must be.
		Acknowledge that effective disinformation is basically true with its head asserting good disinformation is actually not false.
		Wait, what?
		What? What are you talking about?
		What do you mean disinformation can be true?
		What defines disinformation?
		What defines disinformation is information that they don't want you to know.
		Information that does not comport to their fantasy version of the world.
		And we've been saying this forever.
		Hate speech can be true.
		It can still be labeled as hate speech even when it's simply scientific fact.
		If you try to talk about FBI crime statistics in terms of race, you will be accused of hate speech, of perpetuating negative stereotypes.
		They've stopped putting up mugshots of criminals in San Francisco public transportation because it would be racist.
		It's hateful. It's just the way the world works now.
		It's not conspiracy. It's just manipulation.
		Right? It's not...
unidentified		There's nothing you have to speculate about.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		They're just doing it now. The truth is lies.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		lies are the truth reality is disinformation they're gonna make you a slave not conspiracy it's just what they tell us you're listening to the American Journal with your host Harrison Smith you
unidentified		You came down to this southern town last summer To show the folks a brand new way of life But all you've shown the folks around here is trouble And you've only added misery to their strife Your concern is not to help the people And I'll say again, no, it's been offensive Your concern is just to bring discomfort, my friend.
		And your policy is just a little red.
		Welcome back, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I thought we'd let the bumper music play there.
		Since things never change, do they?
		A song written in the 1960s about communists showing up claiming to want to help everybody and just making everything worse.
		It's a tale as old as communism.
		It's pretty amazing. There's lots of stories to get to today just about all sorts of stuff.
		Syria says Aleppo Airport again forced to shut after a second Israeli attack in a week.
		Syria on Tuesday night accused Israel of striking Aleppo International Airport in northern Syria, taking it out of service for a second time in under a week.
		Last Wednesday night, airstrikes attributed to Israel targeted the airport's runway and radio navigation system.
		A consecutive airstrike that night also hit a similar navigation system at Damascus International Airport near the Syrian capital.
		Just thought I'd mention that.
		You know, I saw some random Twitter user tweet out something about this happening.
		And, you know, luckily I saw it.
		I never would have known because it's not an important war.
		It's not a...
		It's not a war that they want you to focus on, the fact that we're in Syria or the fact that we're in Yemen or the fact that we're still fighting in Iraq.
		All these things just sort of happen in the background.
		Not important. Not a big deal.
		You're not going to get images of the dead and dying and burned corpses on the ground.
		Those are ignored. We don't pay attention to that because that's the way...
		The media works these days.
		Paul Joseph Watson points out in response to Ian Myles Chong.
		Ian Myles Chong says, So if you try to look for photos from last week's protest in Europe, you'll be hard-pressed to find any from certain photojournalistic providers.
		It's almost as if the media doesn't want people to know what's happening.
		Paul Joseph Watson says, This is true.
		Go on Getty Images and search for Prague protest.
		There's nothing from Saturday's march, which is attended by 70,000-plus people.
		Like it didn't happen.
		This is the way the media operates.
		This is the way the media controls the world, really.
		And it's the reason why we say protests don't exactly matter anymore.
		It can be a protest of a hundred people.
		If it's in line with the media's narrative, they'll treat it as if it's a major uprising that demands immediate attention.
		Laws have to be passed.
		Concessions have to be made.
		We have to do whatever we can for these people.
		Then it's 70,000 people in the square demanding their basic human rights, and it just goes completely ignored, like it never happened.
		We know it happened because we're here, because we see it live, but most people have no idea that there are massive uprisings taking place in the Czech Republic, Czechia, as it's called now, in Germany, in France, in Holland, all over the world, massive uprisings.
		Angry protests against the increasing fuel costs.
		And most people have no idea this is happening.
		And as time goes on, and as these things are ignored, and as the images aren't published, and nobody talks about it, it'll just fade away, and it'll be like nobody ever stood up to these people.
		It'll be like, in history, people will look back and say, yes, everybody was into this.
		Everybody was... Absolutely on board with what we are doing.
		Because they hide the reality.
		Just like when it's Ukraine.
		I mean, do you think if Russia attacked the Kiev airport, we wouldn't be hearing about it?
		It would just fly under the radar?
		Nobody would mention it? Of course not.
		It would be a giant deal.
		There would be billions of dollars and more weapons flowing to Ukraine.
		It would be treated as the crime against humanity and more sanctions against Russia.
		I mean, it would just be the biggest deal ever.
		When it's Israel and Aleppo...
		When it's America and Damascus, just don't even report it.
		Don't even mention it. Maybe a line here, a line there, just as a sort of side mention.
		Just by the way, this is happening.
		And this is the way they control your attention, your focus, and therefore your perception of the world.
		Putin has given another speech where he has yet again told more truth in just a few sentences than you'll find in a year's worth of Biden speeches.
		Putin claims U.S. wants to preserve global dictatorship and is sacrificing Europe.
		Well, that's a succinct way of putting it and an accurate one.
		And the EU is getting sort of absurd in the lengths to which they'll go to not do the obvious thing they should be doing.
		It's kind of confusing, but it's actually not that complicated.
		See, all of their problems are caused by the sanctions on Russia.
		All of their problems are caused by their submission to the World Economic Forum and their completely baseless and unscientific demands to stop producing anything to save the world.
		Makes no sense, but they're They're doing absolutely everything they can to make it seem like this is necessary.
	Let's go to clip number six here.
	EU will propose a mandatory target for reducing electricity at peak hours in order to, yes, you heard this right, flatten the curve.
	Two weeks to flatten the curve of electricity usage.
	They're actually breaking out this old rhetorical device.
unidentified		Let's watch. This is what is expensive, because in these peak demands, The expensive gas comes into the market.
		So what we have to do is flatten the curve and avoid the peak demands.
		We will propose a mandatory target for reducing electricity use at peak hours, and we will work very closely with the member states to achieve this.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Now, two weeks to flatten the curve of energy usage.
		They're actually doing this.
		Can you imagine three years in prison for taking your heater up to 66 degrees, 67 degrees rather than 66?
		Incredible. Of course, happening all over the world.
		Blackouts imminent, 75,000.
		Powerless is record. California power usage sparks demand response event.
		EU to consider power use cuts, energy price caps, profit grab.
		Yes, folks, they're willing to do anything.
		They're willing to do absolutely anything to combat this energy crisis, except, of course, for just taking their foot off the neck of European energy.
		Just... Closing out the sanctions and trying to find peace with Russia rather than the continuation of war.
		They're willing to do absolutely anything except for the one obvious thing that would fix everything immediately.
		It really is hard to comprehend how they're getting away with this and why they think the people will put up with this.
		I don't think they will. Let's go to another video here.
		We have clip number seven.
		German Economic Minister Habeck can imagine parts of the economy will simply stop producing for the time being.
		We'll just shut down.
		It's just a two-week lockdown to slow the spread of electricity.
		We'll start up again right away.
		And this won't damage the economy at all.
		We're not already in a... Horrific situation on the precipice of mass global starvation.
		Now we just need to shut down a little bit.
		Why? Because of the baseless and unscientific demands of the World Economic Forum combined with the sanctions on Russia for the pointless and goalless and empty promises of the war in Ukraine.
unidentified		Let's watch. He said, I don't expect a wave of shutdowns.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I can imagine that certain industries will stop producing for the time being.
unidentified		Just stop.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Not to go insolvent, but I mean, right now, I don't have time to buy rolls.
		What is he even talking about?
		We don't know. But there you go.
		That's the solution. Just shut down.
		Just stop operating.
		They could remove the restrictions.
		They could open up their own natural gas for mining.
		They have plenty of natural gas there.
		They could start up the nuclear plants that they've decommissioned over the last several years.
		There's a whole number of things they could be doing.
		What they're choosing to do is shut down the economy and freeze you out because they don't want to fix the problem.
		The problem serves them, and so they'll perpetuate it.
unidentified		That's what they do. Welcome back, folks.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		We're going to go in this segment to a Greg Reese report, the latest from him, called The Occult Mysteries of the Federal Reserve Bank.
		We're going to play... That report in full.

		So I talked to him about a big number of things.
		We're also going to talk about the vaccine and the truly biblical nature of that program, its rollout, and its consequences.
		So we'll get into all of that and more.
		But first, here is the latest from Greg Reese, The Occult Mysteries of the Federal Reserve Bank.
greg reese ▲ ● ▼		Let's watch. After reading G. Edward Griffin's book, The Creature from Jekyll Island, Bix Weir began his own research and developed an alternative theory, which has a different motivation for the creation of the Federal Reserve banking system, and involves patriots infiltrating the Fed to destroy it from within.
		President Woodrow Wilson, who strongly opposed private banks, signed off on the Federal Reserve Act, something he deeply regretted soon after.
		According to the Road to Ruta theory, Wilson signed off on it out of fear of catastrophic inflation.
		The amount of gold being found in the late 1800s was causing an endless rise of inflation.
		By 1900, several mining companies were harvesting gold from the Grand Canyon, which was a major undertaking.
		An 80-mile-long road was built to access a coal deposit for power, and barges and steamships were assembled in the canyon to deliver this coal every day.
		By 1912, the New York Times reported that billions of ounces of gold were estimated to be dredged from this operation.
		And at this time, there was only 64 million ounces of gold in the U.S. Treasury, and 160 worldwide.
		Adding billions of ounces would have been economically catastrophic.
		It would have driven the value of gold to zero, devastating the world's economies and destroying the wealth of the world's most powerful people.
		In 1913, the Federal Reserve Act was signed into law, the cornerstone of today's fiat currencies and debt-based economy.
		And in 1919, President Wilson banned all mining in the Grand Canyon.
		The massive influx of gold alone would have been enough to compel a new financial system.
		But there is more to the story.
		In the late 1800s, local homesteader Seth Tanner claimed to have seen mummies and artifacts in a cave within the Grand Canyon's Marble Canyon.
		When the Hopi learned he had seen the sacred site, they blinded him, sparing his life because of his Hopi marriage.
		In 1909, the Arizona Gazette reported that the Smithsonian was researching a man-made cave structure carved deep within the solid rock, 1480 feet below the surface in Marble Canyon, big enough to house 50,000 people.
		With rooms full of ancient golden artifacts, mummies, and Egyptian hieroglyphs dating back 3,000 years to the Ramses dynasty.
		This is the same area that Seth Tanner described seeing the same thing.
		It's the same area where the famous lost city of gold was thought to be.
		And it's the land of the Hopi, whose ancestors once lived in the great hole Sipapu, commonly known as the Grand Canyon, where several geological formations have been given names from ancient Egypt.
		In 1956, two planes collided in midair, directly above the alleged cave system of Marble Canyon.
		And over the next two weeks, a dozen helicopters worked to haul out debris.
		And yet, debris is still scattered everywhere.
		There were no witnesses, and the bodies of the victims were all buried in a mass grave.
		The LEAK Project's investigation of this cave shows what appears to be the remnants of this recovery operation.
		The Grand Canyon is full of caves, 90% unexplored and off-limits, protected by the U.S. military.
		Every president since Bush Sr.
		has tried to secure mining rights within the Grand Canyon, and all have been denied.
		This leads us to the second part of the Road to Ruta theory, that the Fed has been infiltrated by patriots on a mission to destroy it from within.
		Our main character is Alan Greenspan, who is friends with Ayn Rand, who published his 1966 essay, Gold and Economic Freedom, on the importance of a gold-backed monetary system.
		Greenspan was a gold bug.
		In 1969, a Swedish economist published On the Road to the Golden Age, which concludes that the best way to return to sound money is to run the fiat system into the ground by printing money into infinity so that gold will restore stability and faith in the money supply.
		And fiat will be exposed for what it's always been, a scam.
		In 1971, President Nixon ended dollar convertibility to gold, which invited the money printers worldwide to let loose.
		Not only was Greenspan a renowned gold bug, he may be the most unsung hero of the computer age.
		He was childhood friends with the inventor of the first shareable computer programming language called BASIC, which Greenspan used to write the very first banking computer programs at his firm, Townsend Greenspan, back when punch cards were still being used.
		By 1985, Alan Greenspan was the expert on computer banking.
unidentified		I suggest an apple to see an apple modem.
		Then you can call up your bank and see how much money you have.
		You can even pay off your bills automatically.
		If you have any money left over, congratulations.
		You're doing better than the government is.
greg reese ▲ ● ▼		Two years later, President Reagan nominated Greenspan as Fed Chairman.
		That same year, legislation was passed to restrict Grand Canyon airspace.
		During his first year as president, Ronald Reagan formed a committee to investigate the possibility of returning to gold-backed money.
		The majority was against it.
		But Congressman Ron Paul's report argued that we need to return to a decentralized gold-backed standard.
		At the end, however, Ron Paul proposed holding off until the current fiat system had a chance to prove itself.
		In other words, run the money printers and let them fail.
		Also in 1981, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston published the first edition of their educational comic book, Wishes and Rainbows, which tells a story of a place that once had beautiful colors and golden flowers, but no longer does out of fear of being stepped on by the big people who live in color land.
		Which is where the golden flowers can be found.
		Some say you can get there through the caves of Cobblestone Canyon.
		The main character of this comic, who decides to bring back the golden flowers, is Ruta.
		In the early basic programs that Greenspan wrote 60 years ago, Root A was the foundation.
		Ruta finds a golden light inside a cave of Cobblestone Canyon and begins bringing flowers back to her people, only to learn the problems of scarcity and demand.
		As she tries figuring out a solution, she writes the equations from On the Road to the Golden Age print the money into infinity.
		In 2007, the Boston Fed published an updated version of their cryptic Wishes and Rainbows.
		And in this edition, Ruta's solution in the dust is 11 plus 9, which looks an awful lot like 9-11.
		And right after this was published, the economic crash of 2008 began.
		Also in 2008, the Bitcoin white paper is published.
		And while nobody knows who authored it, Alan Greenspan, with his 60 years of expertise in digital banking, certainly could have played a part.
		Reporting for InfoWars, this is Greg Reese.

harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. Second hour of American Journal has begun.
		I'll be taking your phone calls this hour.
		We'll be joined by Clint Russell of the Liberty Lockdown podcast in the third hour.
		And just perusing through Clint's Twitter feed during the break, I discovered that InfoWars is in a fight right now.
		And frankly, I have a call to action for all of our viewers and listeners at this very moment.
		Something you can do that's entirely free and of the utmost importance to keep InfoWars on top of the alternative media dogpile.
		Because folks... Rumble has been exploding in popularity recently.
		Rumble sets a new record of 78 million monthly active users.
		This is the latest issued today, the 7th of September.
		The video sharing platform continues building momentum.
		If you're tired of censorship, cancel culture, and the erosion of civil liberties...
		Subscribe to Reclaim the Net.
		So this is a Reclaim the Net article.
		They say, video sharing platform Rumble has reached 78 million monthly active users in August, a 77% year-on-year increase.
		Platform also recorded a record 63 million monthly active users in the U.S. and Canada in August.
		This represents a 103% Year-on-year increase because people are hungry for reality.
		They're hungry for platforms and for distribution networks that are not censored and not controlled.
		They don't have to prance around just trying to avoid the terms of service.
		People are hungry for the truth.
		They're hungry for just raw, unfiltered information.
		And that's what so many companies are rising up to fill the need of.
		I mean, that's why we had Movies Plus on Facebook.
		Talk about entertainment that isn't controlled by Hollywood.
		Rumble is emerging as a viable and very successful alternative to YouTube.
		And of course, InfoWars is taking advantage of this.
		If you just search InfoWars on Rumble, you find our official channel.
		Though it doesn't have a checkmark yet, which I'm a little confused by.
		There you see Alex and Owen and yours truly and Paul Joseph Watson and Greg Reese and Darren McBreen and Rob Dew.
		And of course, the live feed is taking place there right now with just under 2,000 people watching on that platform, the live 24-7 feed.
		And you can see that we actually have 106,000 subscribers, which is huge.
		For Rumble. In fact, it's the biggest Rumble channel out there right now.
		106,000 subscribers.
		But here's the problem.
		Sticks Hexenhammer also has 106,000.
		This is when I was perusing through Twitter.
		I saw this post by Sticks Hexenhammer.
		It says Infowars, and I think he dropped in an extra number here.
		But... Or no, I guess that's about right.
		InfoWars has 106,062 Rumble subscribers.
		Clanked him, that's what he calls his audience.
		Now has 106,149.
		He says he's on the road to 110K. Folks, we cannot allow ourselves to be beaten by this spoon-clanking pagan.
		Okay? It's unacceptable.
		Frankly, it ain't right.
		This is a call to action to the entire InfoWars audience.
		Go now to Rumble.
		Make an account.
		It's incredibly easy.
		Takes about three seconds to do it.
		Subscribe to InfoWars.
		We will beat Sticks, Hex, and Hammer to 110,000 subscribers.
		We have to.
		It would be a shame if we didn't.
		Do not let Sticks, Hex, and Hammer beat us in the Rumble ranking.
		It's just not okay.
		My personal pride has been horrifically injured by this.
		I mean, look at that spread.
		Owen, Alex, Rob Dude, Darren McBreen, Greg Reese, for God's sakes.
		We're being beaten by one dude in an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt?
		Who hasn't been to a barber in 10 years?
		How is this happening? Folks, it shouldn't, and it can't, and it's up to you to reverse this pattern.
		We were ahead of him until today.
		We were always the top-subscribed platform on Rumble, channel on Rumble, until today, when we have been surpassed by Sticks, Hex, and Hammer, 666.
		The man has the mark of the beast in his username.
	This isn't right. I'm going to have to invite him back on the show.
	He's been on a few times. He's a good man.
	He does very good work, but that doesn't mean I want to lose to him.
	That doesn't mean we're going to play second fiddle to some heathen.
	Don't let it happen, folks. Go to Rumble right now.
	Subscribe to InfoWars.
	Tune in to the live feed.
	Leave your comments. We're going to beat Sticks, Hex, and Hammer.
	It's the last thing we do.

		1-877-789-2539.
		We do need to talk about the ongoing catastrophe that is the vaccine, COVID vaccine, so-called, the injection that is killing God knows how many around the world right now and will continue to kill even more.
		And it really is biblical, the thing that has happened over the last couple years.
		When you really just look at it in its totality, when you see that billions of people around the world were tricked into taking an experimental shot that permanently altered their genes, and now they're all dying.
		Now they're all having massive, horrific heart attacks at 30 or strokes at 35.
		Over 2 million reports of vaccine adverse events in VAERS, but these are only the tip of the iceberg, right?
		This is the one-tenth of the iceberg poking above the water, with nine-tenths of it still yet to be uncovered.
		Because they are lying about all of this.
		They are turning a blind eye and pretending like they don't know what is behind the horrific and devastating rise and unexplained deaths.
		Like this story, CDC U.S. life expectancy decreased to 76.1 years in 2021.
		An August report released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention indicates the average life expectancy in the United States dropped 0.9 years in 2021.
		In 2021, life expectancy at birth was 76.1, declining 0.9 years.
		Years from 77.0 in 2020, states a report.
		The study, Preventional Life Expectancy Estimates for 2021, was published on August 31st.
		Authors define life expectancy at birth as the average number of years a group of infants would live if they were to experience throughout life the age-specific death rates prevailing during a period.
		This represents a decrease from two years ago across all three categories.
		In 2020, life expectancy birth was 77 years old, total 74.2 years and 79.9 years for men and women, respectively.
		Overall, the United States saw a decline in life expectancy from 2019 and 2021 of 2.7 years for the total population, 3.1 years for males, and 2.3 years for females, the report states.
		The current gap in life expectancy between both sexes stands at 5.9 years in 2021.
		This is the highest it's been since a six-year gap in 1996.
		The authors attribute excess death over this time period to COVID-19 and other causes.
		But it's not COVID-19, is it?
		COVID-19 didn't have the death rate, even with the inflated numbers, even with hospitals and morgues claiming that People falling off of ladders or getting hit by cars or being struck by lightning.
		Where COVID deaths, these still don't have the numbers that would make a difference this big.
		And of course, COVID has not really been a major force for death in the last year or so.
		It's been the vaccines.
		And from the Daily Skeptic today, COVID vaccines up to 100 times more likely to cause serious injury to a young adult than prevent it, says top scientists.
		University COVID-19 vaccine mandates are unethical because the vaccines are up to nearly 100 times more likely to cause a person of student age serious injury than prevent him or her from being hospitalized with COVID-19, a new study has concluded.
		The study, whose authors include Dr. Kevin Bardosh, a recipient of funding from the Pro Vaccination Welcome Trust led by Sir Jeremy Farah and Dr. Tracy Beth Haig of Florida Department of Health, presents a risk-benefit assessment of booster vaccines amongst people of student age, provides five ethical arguments presents a risk-benefit assessment of booster vaccines amongst people of student age, provides One, there's no formal risk-benefit assessment that exists for the age group.
		Two, vaccine mandates may result in a net unexpected harm to individual young people.
		Three, mandates are not proportionate.
		Expected harms are not outweighed by public health benefits given the modest and transient effectiveness of vaccines against transmission.
		Four, U.S. mandates violate the Reciprocity principle, because rare, serious vaccine-related harms will not reliably be compensated due to gaps in current vaccine injury schemes.
		And five, mandates create wider social harms.
		I mean, you could not imagine a more devious and satanic program than the vaccine program.
		And the reason it's almost biblical, well, it is biblical in nature, but you have the people that have succumbed to the temptation, that have given in to the fear, that have taken the sacrament of the cult of scientism, actually ridiculing, mocking, and driving from society those who do not adhere to the dictates of this cult.
		I was talking about this with my friend and he was the one that put it that way as the cult of scientism.
		And he was saying he doesn't feel sorry for the people that took the vaccine.
		And he was arguing with people who were saying, well, but they thought they were doing what was right.
		They were just listening to the experts.
		And it's like, yeah, the experts in the cult of scientism, such a good way of putting it, where it's like all you have to do is instead of imagining people lining up at CVS wearing their masks to get the injection of an experimental gene-altering mRNA inoculation, It's just the modern incarnation of people lining up outside of a temple with fiery torches on either side to go in and receive the sacrament of snake's blood from the sorcerer inside.
		That's all that's happening here.
		You fell for the lie of a cult.
		You committed that sin against God.
		Unfortunately, you're going to have to pay for it through your own health.
		And terrific. We feel sorry for these people.
		They brought it upon themselves.
		They exposed themselves to this.
		They willingly went into the temple.
		They got on their knees.
		They opened their mouths to drink the snake venom that was being sold to them by the cult of scientism.
	So it's their fault.
	It sucks that they're all going to die early.
	And just because it doesn't killed you yet doesn't mean that you're not walking around with Foreign, again, snake-like octopus tentacles choking your heart out from the inside.
	And we started talking about this because my friend said he had a guy come over to install security cameras.
	The guy was like, yeah, you know, my heart's working at 10% capacity right now.
	Like, that's normal. Like, that's totally normal for a 35-year-old, 40-year-old guy to just, his heart just doesn't work that well anymore, ever since he got the vaccine, obviously.
	You have any idea how many people are around like that?
	I mean, do you have any idea what people who got the vaccine talk about with each other?
	Because I've had friends who are like, yeah, you know, we're going to get the vaccine, so we're going to get it on Thursday just so we can take the long weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and just not have anything planned because, you know, we're getting the vaccine on Thursday, so we're going to be out for a couple days.
	It's like, so you're willingly doing this to yourself.
	You know the damage that it's doing.
	You know the pain that it's causing.
	You know that it's having some sort of negative and horrific effect on your body, and yet you're doing it Anyway, and millions of people did, and then they ridiculed and persecuted you for refusing to follow them into the temple and take part in the satanic program.
	It's unfortunate that so many people fell for it, but it's going to be us at the end of the day to have to deal with the fallout.
	We'll have to deal with the millions dead as the economy collapses, because all you people fell.
unidentified		Money!
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Snake cult.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Many, many countries around the world now, so-called sudden adult death syndrome is the number one cause of death.
unidentified		Money.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Either sudden adult death syndrome, it's just another way of saying unexplained deaths are now the number one cause of death in many countries around the world.
		Of course, it's only unexplained if you refuse to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
		That really is what it's like.
		I was trying to think of a good analogy for this.
		But when you have... And again, we go back to the story I covered at the beginning of this program, which is the Sweden...
		Where is it? Was it Sweden or Swiss...
		Saying that disinformation doesn't have to be false.
		In fact, some of the most impactful misinformation is true, actually.
		And so there's some things that are true, some things that are accurate, some things like the vaccine injuries or Anything about COVID-19, that is true.
		It is factual. It just goes against the narrative.
		It goes against what they want people to think, and so it's deemed as misinformation.
		It's off-limits. You're not allowed to talk about it.
		So trying to solve the problem of unexplained deaths around the world now is pretty easy.
		It's just made that much more difficult when you are forbidden by the authorities from acknowledging what is obviously the case.
		I was trying to think about this.
		Like, you have a... You have a nice, freshly cooked turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas dinner, sitting there on the table, and you leave the room, and you come back in, and it's gone.
		Something is ravaged.
		It's just torn apart, and the turkey's gone, and the fixings are all over the place, and the chairs are overturned.
		There's a pack of dogs just outside the kitchen, right?
		Like Christmas story style.
		There's like three or four very large dogs, And your task, they say, you have to figure out what happened to this turkey dinner, but you cannot say it was the dogs.
		You cannot mention the dogs.
		You cannot suggest it might have been dogs.
		No dogs. You will be removed from the internet if you mention dogs.
		So what happened to the turkey?
		You can come up with a million different things.
		You can come up with a million different ideas, each more ridiculous than the last, when the answer is right there.
		It's right there licking itself in your living room.
		It's the dogs. It's the obvious answer.
		It's the only answer.
		It's the most blatant thing you could ever imagine.
		But if I say you're forbidden from mentioning dogs, you're going to come up with all sorts of different things.
		And when you internalize this, you go, it would never be dogs.
		It could not possibly be the dogs that did this.
		Then you're going to be baffled.
		What could have done this to the turkey?
		Did a human being do this?
		Did the cat do this?
		Did a squirrel come in from outside and do this?
		Meanwhile, there's just dogs with full bellies lying on the ground, exhausted from having eaten your turkey, but you can't mention it.
		That's essentially the situation that we're in.
		And a lot of different situations, by the way.
		It's not just the vaccine. There's a lot of situations where the answer is obvious.
		The answer is apparent. The answer is spitting in your face.
		But because of hate speech laws and disinformation regulations and the top-down asserted NPC cognitive limitations that we have, you can't mention it.
		You can't suggest it.
		You cannot reference it.
		So you're going to come up with all sorts of other ideas.
		That's essentially where we are now.
		The dogs have eaten the turkey dinner and...
		We're being told, figure out what happened here, but don't you dare suggest it was the dogs.
		It was not the dogs. Science says it wasn't the dogs, so you're not allowed to even suggest that.
		So it could not be more obvious, the thing killing people around the world causing death rates upwards of 40-60%, causing 30-year-old athletes to collapse at a rate completely unprecedented in the most shocking and horrific situation.
		What dystopian, hellish, sci-fi situation you've ever seen?
		We're just all around the world.
		Athletes and news reporters and mothers and fathers and young people are just collapsing, falling over dead.
		Now their heart exploded. Whoops, whoopsies.
		Guests will never figure out what's behind that.
		Guests will never figure out who ate that turkey dinner since we can't acknowledge it was obviously the dogs.
		Let's go now to clip number nine.
		Here's a high school athlete who had six feet of blood clots removed from his legs, abruptly ending his football career.
		Horrific, devastating, an attack on humanity that you all willfully participated in if you took the shot.
unidentified		Let's watch. On August 1st, his dad took him to the emergency room.
		He was having severe pain in his back and legs.
		I was a bit confused. I didn't know really what was happening, and he just told me that he just wasn't feeling good.
		The night before Wauseon's first team practice, junior Kayden Clymer unexpectedly had to be taken to Toledo Children's Hospital.
		His calves were actually swelled up four inches larger in circumference than they are now, so he was very uncomfortable.
		I just wanted to go home, honestly.
		I didn't really care what they did to me.
		I just wanted to go home. Full of pain and uncertainty, Clymer received word that he had blood clots in his legs.
		I was really sad. I was crying and I was upset because I played football my whole life and I just want to play with my friends.
		Six feet of blood clots were removed.
		And because of the blood thinners he now has to take, his football career over.
		I was just getting ready to start practice.
		We were really looking forward to seeing him on Friday nights.
		Following nine days in the hospital, Clymer returned to the team.
		Despite barely being able to walk, I'm really happy to be able to spend time with my friends, and it means a lot to me to be able to be back on the field and have fun with them.
		It was exciting seeing him because we're footballists, we see him like every day, so it was weird not seeing him, but it's good that he's bad because we all like ClownDog.
		He's our guy, so yeah, it's nice seeing him here.
		A life-changing experience that has proven the toughness of this young man.
		I'm very strong and I'm well-minded because it took a lot of effort to be able to stay in the hospital for nine days straight and eat the hospital food and go through all those procedures and it really sucked.
		Unfortunately, Clymer's path to recovery is far from over.
		Not only are doctors still trying to figure out exactly what happened to Caden, but regaining strength into his legs each day comes at a price.
		He gets shots every day in his stomach twice a day.
		You know, not something fun.
		I don't enjoy giving them to him.
		I know he doesn't like getting them, but done it, you know, like you said, with a smile.
		So we appreciate that and we're just glad that he's, it could have been so much worse.
		Now there is good news to share.
		Clymer has shown improvement each day and is expected to still play baseball, his favorite sport.
		Until then, his role remains simple.
		Continue progressing and inspire.
		One, two, three! Utterly horrific.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Another life destroyed by the vaccines.
		At least he didn't die. A lot of people have been dying from this, and of course we've showed you.
		I've seen with my very own eyes the stuff pulled out of the heart of people killed by the vaccine.
		These biostructures, unnatural biostructures that build themselves in the veins of people who have received the vaccine.
		I'm telling you folks, even if you watch this video, and this was probably one of the most popular or most, you know, well-spread videos that we've had this year, probably on Infowars.
		It's probably the thing people have most talked to me about.
		Oh, I saw you in that.
		Those creepy blood clot things.
		You can't even imagine what they look like in person.
		I mean, you see them on video and you get an idea of it.
		I was really having to try not to throw up the entire time we were watching it.
		That came out of a person's heart who died from those being in there.
		It's the vaccine, folks.
		It's not complicated. It's not vague.
		You don't have to speculate.
		Stories around the world are speculation.
		What could it be? What could be behind it?
		Gee, we don't know. It's the vaccine.
		It's not that complicated.
		In fact, it's imminently apparent.
		It's undeniable. It is self-evident.
		It is the vaccine that's causing millions of deaths around the world, and it's just getting started.
		And they're still pushing it, insanely enough.
unidentified		You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
unidentified		Watch it live right now at band.video.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Welcome back, folks. Just completely insane.
		Just everything. Just everything's completely insane.
		And, you know...
unidentified		Maybe I wanted to play...
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I'll do this. I'll play the beginning of clip 16 here.
		It's a long clip from Tucker Carlson, but he gets into it pretty quickly.
		And then I'll pull this out.
		Let's go to clip number 16. Then I'll go out to your phone calls.
		But just a quick note here.
		First, Tucker Carlson.
tucker carlson ▲ ● ▼		Good evening and welcome to Tucker Carlson's Night.
		Happy Monday. As we've often noted on this show, because it's hard not to notice, we are living in one of those moments where so much is happening all at once and information about it all is so tightly controlled that huge history-changing events can occur, and in fact are occurring right now, and nobody seems aware of them.
		It's pretty unsettling, actually.
		Here's one example. Europe is descending into poverty.
		Did you know that? Had someone told you that?
		So the most advanced continent on the planet, the birthplace of Western civilization, our civilization, is getting much poorer very quickly.
		It's moving backward at high speed.
		Just a year ago, Europe was a modern place.
		For example, the overwhelming majority of Europeans heated their homes with natural gas, as modern people do.
		In Germany, the continent's richest country, only about 6% of households, most of them rural, heated with cordwood.
		And you'd expect that given that, again, Germany is a modern industrialized country with central heating and indoor plumbing and all the other trappings of a society that has moved beyond the medieval period.
		Last year, only about 6% of Germans used wood to heat their homes, but that has changed dramatically.
		Demand for firewood in Germany has risen so fast that there is none left to buy.
		You can't get it.
		So desperate Germans are now cutting their own wood, scouring the forest like their ancestors for sources of heat.
unidentified		Watch. Some in Germany are taking matters into their own hands with solutions that might look like a blast from the past.
		About two hours outside Berlin, residents of this small town have turned to wood chips for fuel.
		We have to be innovative, said the project's organizer.
		If we don't act and just rely on the government to solve the crisis, we'll never succeed.
		This burner will soon fuel most of this village of 60 people.
tucker carlson ▲ ● ▼		So they call it biomass, but it's wood.
		They're burning wood, again, as they did during the feudal period.
		That's Germany. In Poland, families are standing in line for days to buy coal.
		Not in 1910, right now, tonight.
		Cars queued up outside coal mines, hoping for fuel.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		So that was, we can go ahead and pull it down, but it's an excellent video by Tucker Carlson.
		The whole thing is 17 minutes, but...
		You know, like a lot of people say now, I talk to them, they go, you know, everywhere sounds like Infowars.
		Now, Fox News sounds like Infowars.
		Even CNN, to a certain degree, sounds like Infowars.
		Certainly, any right-wing outlet that's not Fox News sounds a heck of a lot like Infowars.
		And they do. They all sound like Infowars two years ago.
		Sure, that's true. We've been talking about biomass since 2018, pretty much.
		And so, you know, it's good to see Tucker Carlson talk about it.
		He's not talking about the 12 million trees they cut down in Scotland or the entire forest that they have leveled in places like Virginia and Saskatchewan and other places in Canada where they are eliminating old growth trees to grind them into pellets and send them across the ocean for the sake of climate change and to save the environment.
		I know this is how stupid it is.
		But it all points to...
		There being clearly something horrifically wrong in the world right now.
		And everybody gets it. Everybody sees it.
		Everybody understands that things are shaky, that things are not right, that things are going down rapidly.
		And that's not the weird part.
		The weird part is nobody's talking about it.
		The weird part is that if you turn on the media they're celebrating the successes that the administration has had.
		They're telling you that inflation doesn't exist even though your electricity bill has tripled in the last year.
		They're telling you that the economy is amazing.
		Even though you can hardly afford to feed your family anymore.
		So it's this weird cognitive distance where people are like, they feel weird because they're like, it seems like everything's bad, but everybody feels like it's bad, but we can't quite put our finger on it.
		It's like, no, it's because everything's bad, but the people at the top are making it bad, and so they're lying about the causes, and they're telling you it's not bad.
		That's the difference.
		That's the dichotomy. That's the separation from reality to the perception of reality.
		It's not that it's weird that everything's bad.
		Everything's been bad a lot of times.
		Just typically when things are bad, you have good actors in places like the media, like people that actually care about telling the truth and getting to the bottom of things, saying, look, this is what's bad, and here's why it's bad, and here's what we need to do to fix it.
		But now everything's bad. Everybody gets everything's bad.
		And the media's saying they're telling you, no, everything is good, and everything we're doing is right.
		And everything we're doing that's actually causing all the bad things are necessary, and we need to increase the things that we're doing.
		That's the part that makes people feel confused and feel like they're alone in recognizing that things are bad.
		It's because the media is lying to them.
		But everybody gets it. Everybody knows it.
		Everybody understands that things are collapsing.
		And that's where you get the mass formation psychosis where all of this discomfort, all of this anger, all of this confusion gets directed towards things that have nothing to do with the things causing you anger, confusion, and distress.
		With that, we go out to the phone calls.
		Let's go to Jay in Florida.
		Mandates from court for feds for medical freedom.
		Thanks for calling in, Jay. You're on the air.
		Jay, are you there? All right, let's go to Sony in North Carolina.
		Sony, are you there? Yep, I'm here.
		Okay, all right. I hear you, Sony.
		You want to talk more about the Vax Injured Vets?
unidentified		Go ahead. Yeah, I want to talk about Vax Injured Vets.
		Let me tell you a little story. I'm a veteran, and when I went to the VA Medical Center about a year ago, I just went in for regular medical treatment, and they found out I told them I hadn't taken the vaccine, the COVID shot.
		And to make a long story short, my VA doctor, primary care doctor, told me that because I had a high BMI, body mass index, I was going to die if I didn't take the shot.
		I was 40 years old, big bone, in pretty good shape.
		I just want to let all the veterans know That if they felt coerced into taking that shot at the VA, they can file a claim for compensation under USC 1151.
		And that's just a regular claim for compensation.
		They can file that claim if they suffered a mental condition secondary to the coercion.
		Or if they had a vaccine injury.
		I just want them all to know that.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		So how would they go about filing that?
unidentified		They just go to the eBenefits website.
		Type in compensation claim and just file a claim for compensation and they might say mental condition secondary to vaccine coercion.
		And that's really all it would take.
		Now, you have to understand these claims are notoriously hard to win, but we know approximately 200,000 veterans didn't take the second shot, right?
		Right. Didn't take the second shot.
		So that's a pretty good...
		Now, you've got about 5 million that got a shot at the VN. Right?
		200,000 didn't take the second shot.
		So, you know, that's a pretty good indicator that there's a lot of people that have a lot of regrets.
		We all know there's going to be a lot more.
		I'd also like to thank the Infowar because it weren't for you guys.
		I would have took the shot myself.
		Thanks for keeping me sane.
		Oh, thank God. And my family as well.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much. And thanks so much for the call and for that information.
		Hopefully some veterans listening right now can file compensation claims for themselves or have a family member and know somebody that they can pass that information on to.
		I do want to go back to Jay in Florida because apparently he's back on the line.
		He had something to say very similar to what Sonny was saying.
		So, Jay, you want to talk about the mandates for feds for medical freedom.
		Thanks for calling in, Jay. Hey, good morning, Harrison.
unidentified		Thank you for taking my call.
		Sure. I know a lot of the mainstream media, they obviously censor it out, but coming up this next week on September 13th, there is an in-bank hearing, which is the entire court of federal judges over in the Fifth Circuit, which is Texas and Louisiana, of about 17 federal judges that are hearing the Feds for Medical Freedom case,
		which currently enjoys an injunction from the mandate No, I didn't even know about it.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Thank you for letting us know. We have to go to break, but we'll be back for more of your phone calls on the other side.
		Just before we go back out to your phone calls, from JustTheNews.com minutes ago, Oathkeeper's founder requests a 90-day trial delay, says he's had to fire his lawyers.
		Sure, Rhodes' attorneys argued that the arrest of the top Oathkeeper's lawyer represents a monumental change in his defense strategy.
		Oath Keepers founder Stuart Rhodes is asking a federal judge to postpone his trial this month related to charges in connection to the January 6th riot, saying he's had to fire his attorneys after a breakdown in communications.
		Rhodes has asked for a 90-day extension.
		Rhodes' new attorney, Edward Tarpley, wrote in a filing on Tuesday that his client is not prepared for trial, which is scheduled for September 26th, along with other Oath Keepers members, for seditious conspiracy related to the 2020 election and subsequent January 6th Capitol riot.
		The co-defendants had nearly a year more than Rhodes to prepare for trial, as the Oath Keepers founder was indicted much later, Tarpley said.
		Additionally, prosecutors have yet to provide most of the required information under discovery.
		According to the court document, Tarpley outlined 14 necessary motions that still need to be filed before going to court.
		We'll see about that. Tarfleet said the arrest last week of Oath Keepers General Counsel Kelly Sorrell, Rhodes' former girlfriend, represents a monumental change in his client's defense strategy.
		So we'll be keeping you up to date on that.
		And in fact, Stuart Rhodes will be joining us on next Monday at 10 a.m.
		to discuss the latest in his case.
		So with that, we go out to the phone calls once again.
		We have Tim in Wisconsin who wants to talk about whether we're doing a good job or not.
		Thanks for calling. Tim, you're on the air.
unidentified		Thank you. You're doing so good that I don't think there's ever been anything as good.
		And I'm certain of it.
		Absolutely certain of it.
		There's never ever been anything as good as your stuff, InfoWars in general and YouTube.
		But I don't think we've ever had anything.
		America has never had anything anywhere close to what you guys are doing.
		And I'm just so proud of you.
		Wow. And thank you.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, thank you. I really appreciate it.
		That's very humbling. I do not feel like we're, well, personally, I don't feel like I'm doing as well as I can.
		You know, when you hear Alex is always saying things like, I'm not worthy to bring you this information.
		I feel that way a lot, and I try to make up for it just by being as real as possible and just trying to show actual human reactions to the lies and disinformation that we see coming out of the mainstream media every day.
		Thank you very much for that, Tim.
		I really appreciate it.
		Anything else you want to say?
unidentified		Well, I would have to say what you just said, right?
		And what Alex says.
		Just keep doing what you're doing because you're doing the Lord's work.
		You're doing great. Wow.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Well, thank you very much. I really appreciate that.
		Very good to hear. Thank you for that, Tim.
		Appreciate it. Tell you what, if you do think we're doing a good job, please do me a favor and go to Infowarsstore.com and get Brain Force Plus.

		We do. Okay?
		I really do appreciate it, and all I can say is we do the best we can, and I pray to God every day that I am worthy of this incredible position I've been put in here at Infowars.
		So thank you for that, Tim. Let's go to Daniel in Arizona who wants to talk about the religious persecution of MAGA Republicans.
		Thanks for calling in, Daniel.
		You're on the air. Hey, thanks.
unidentified		I think that because it's obligatory on religious people, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even Buddhists, to take a pro-life position and to take a position against redefining marriage, there's no difference between calling us out as a political people, political party, and actually calling us out as religious people.
		There's no difference between those two things.
		Because that's how we represent ourselves politically.
		So it's actually against the law.
		Of course, they don't care about the law.
		For Biden to say these things that he's saying, they're trampling on First Amendment rights.
		And people are not—I don't really hear that much about that, but people really hit on that and raise the alarm.
		They don't like the alarm being raised.
		They like when they can just get away with things.
		So maybe if people did that, they might have to back off a little or something.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		To me, it seems like defining the leftist position as a religion would make it clear, because what the Constitution disallows is the government having an official religion, right?
		Because they were coming from a medieval world, a renaissance world, where you had...
		The church really embed with and one in the same as the state.
		That's why you had these religious movements flee from places like England to go try to find religious freedom because the religion was dictated by the state in these countries.
		But what we're in now is a religiously informed, a spiritual movement It's just science.
		It's just common sense. But the beliefs that they hold are clearly spiritual.
		They're clearly of a moral nature.
		So what do you think about that, Daniel?
		Maybe we need to come up with something, you know, maybe science, scientism or whatever it is, whatever this religion is that they are enforcing through the organs of the state.
		They are combating religious people, especially Christianity, and destroying it, removing it, and replacing it with their moral framework, their religious perspective.
		And once we realize that that's what's happening, then we realize that the government is in blatant violation of any number of restrictions that are placed on them by the Constitution, but primarily that one of the, Our government choosing a state religion that they then enforce through their organs.
		I mean, what do you think about that idea, Daniel?
unidentified		I think that both sides of the coin are valid.
		Both the idea that we should find a way to define what they're doing as a religion, and we should also say for him to say anybody who is pro-life and doesn't want to redefine marriage Because we're afraid it's going to break down into, okay, marry dogs, marry five people.
		It empties marriage of its meaning.
		For him to say that, and to say that they're domestic terrorists, that they're MAGA extremists, that they're a threat to democracy, for him to say all people who represent that view, they are domestic terrorists, they're enemies of the state, they're enemies of democracy, that that is...
		That is, by definition, trampling on First Amendment rights.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You're absolutely right, Daniel, actually.
		Putting in that perspective really makes it clear.
		I completely agree with you.
		Very well said.
		Dark divide. By the way, I haven't even covered it today.
		Maybe we'll do it in the first five of the next hour.
		My friend is sending me some images of close-ups of Biden's ear.
		Frankly, he may be wearing a skin mask.
		Maybe I'll have to do a whole report on that.
		Thank you for the call, Daniel. Very good point.
		Very well said. I think you're exactly right.
		Let's go to Jacob in Houston, who wants to talk about the state of the nation.
		Thanks for calling in, Jacob. You're on the air.
		Jacob in Houston, are you there?
		All right, let's go to Jefferson in Virginia.
		Hello, hello. Oh, oh, all right, hold on.
		Jacob got in there the last second.
		Thanks for calling in, Jacob. Hello, you're on the air.
unidentified		Yo, what's up, Harrison? Can you hear me?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		You're quiet, but I can hear you.
unidentified		All right. Can you hear me now?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, go ahead. All right.
unidentified		With that being said, Harrison, what is another name for globalists?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Internationalists? Incorrect.
unidentified		The Jewish Banking Cartel.
		You know, I used to really, like, admire you guys.
		I think you guys were, like, the actual linchpin of this whole, like, waking up movement BS. But with that being said, my whole point was, To touch on the GNC or the GNC scam that Alex Jones was part of with this whole gold-buying scandalous scam.
		Have you heard of that?
		Are you aware?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		No, I'm not. GNC? Yeah, GNC founded by Ted Anderson.
unidentified		He got into some legal trouble by the government where he had to do a money scheme in 2015.
		And long story short, the allegations here is Alex interviewed his guest about the economy and just about how it's about to collapse.
		And, you know, he blamed the globalists and he said, buy gold right now, preserve your dollars.
		It's just a whole bunch of legal troubles that this man has been It's just been circulated around.
		Why are you guys continuing to deceive the American people?
		I used to think you had balls at Harrison, but it's just all...
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		How are we deceiving anybody?
		The economy is crashing.
		You probably should have gold.
		I don't understand. Where's the deceit come in?
		Everything is happening, just as we foretold.
		What are you talking about?
		We shouldn't tell people to buy precious metals because the economy is moving towards a digitization and collapse.
unidentified		Why not? Yeah.
		You're not even ready for the Jewish question because, you know, a bunch of your listeners still believe in the fake Judeo-Christian myth.
		Like, what the hell is that?
		Can somebody explain to me how did the Judaism people love Christians when in their Talmud book They denounce and have a pure hatred for Christians.
		It's like, that's what they believe in, which is written in the Babylonian Times.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, we could get into it, but we have four seconds left in this segment, so we're not going to be able to.
		But we'll be back on the other side with Clint Russell.
		Don't go anywhere. I'm an assistant principal.
unidentified		What would you do there as a principal if you knew there was a conservative applying?
		Would you hire such a person?
		No. They say that, like, diversity is about, you know, like, everyone is equal.
		It's like that person right now.
		Yeah. Like, for kindergarten, for pride month, it's like, you should be whoever you feel like you should be.
		The conversation is deepened.
		That's what I'm saying.
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼		The conversation is deepened.
		He's in charge of more than 670 students.
		Like Jeremy Boland, the vice principal in Connecticut, he also refuses to hire conservatives and has a line of questioning to reveal their political views.
unidentified		When would you do that as a principal if you knew there was a conservative applying?
		Would you hire such a person?
		We have very specific questions, and ultimately our diversity, equity, inclusion question, our DEI question, it's very telling.
		If somebody has, like, done a lot of work within themselves, within the profession...
		But even conservative, like, even...
		And it comes out, like, if people don't answer that question right, they're just an automatic...
		Give me an example of not answering that question.
		Like, what are the... If they say that, like, diversity is about...
		If they say something that lends itself to be colorblind, which could happen, like, oh, it's like...
		You know, like everyone is equal.
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼		Like, those things that are This begs the question, if Soper won't hire any conservatives, what does he do with teachers who already work for him who might already be conservatives?
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼		He was quick to tell our journalist just that.
unidentified		Almost, like, refused to talk about Juneteenth a few years ago and didn't want to, like, teach a lesson.
		Like, in addition to their neurodiversity and their special needs, like, our students' lives matter based on the color of their skin and how that intertwines into the context of the world.
		And so if you're not willing to embrace fully What was her reasoning for being resistant?
		She didn't want to teach Black Lives Matter.
		I don't think she thinks that the race is a big deal.
		So she was just kind of like, I mean, it's not that big of a deal.
		Like, I love kids, so it's fun.
		I was like, well, no, like, you have to love all of them.
		And so you have to acknowledge that there is the potential for the race to have experienced discrimination.
		Was she fired? Yeah, she left.
		She would have probably been fired eventually, just based off of, like, mindset.
		But, yeah, she left.
james okeefe ▲ ● ▼		It's clearly worrisome that these institutions will be responsible for our children's growth and well-being.
		Classrooms are not meant to indoctrinate students.
		Sober tries to push his political agenda onto students as young as five.
		Watch how he discusses bringing Pride Day to kindergarteners.
unidentified		We have always and will continue to embrace diversity on all levels.
		The same way we embrace identities that are based off of ethnicity, skin tone, and gender, we also embrace orientation.
		So we make student friendly.
		Like for kindergarten, for Pride Month, We got every, in first grade, like, every kid had, like, a mirror, and we talked about, like, there was, like, a read-aloud about an animal, or about a boy that said he wanted to be a mermaid, and it's, like, a way to start, like, and the girl was, like, you should be whoever you feel like you should be, and that was kind of, like, the message of the read-aloud.
		Yeah, yeah. Were you able to encourage them to, like, gender?
		Yeah, I think it's delicate, right?
		So in kindergarten and first grade, there are five and six.
		I think we start with the umbrella theme of embrace who you are.
		You have to love who you are.
		Yeah, that's awesome. Each part of you is beautiful, whatever you feel.
		As kids get older, and the idea of gender becomes more salient, which happens more towards fourth grade, it's conversations around, like, it's just okay.
		So the conversations deepen.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		That's the latest from Project Veritas, The Secret Curriculum Part 3.
		You can find it at band.video.
		We'll be back with Clint Russell of the Liberty Lockdown Podcast.
unidentified		Don't go anywhere. You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
unidentified		Welcome back.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Ladies and gentlemen, the third hour of American Journal has begun.
		I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
		My guest for this hour is Clint Russell.
		He's the host of the Liberty Lockdown podcast, aptly named as Clint's passion for freedom is nothing short of a force of nature.
		His podcast can be found on your favorite platform or by visiting libertylockdownpodcast.com.
		His Twitter is at libertylockpod.
		His Instagram is libertylockdown, and the website again is libertylockdownpodcast.com.
		Thank you so much for joining us, Clint. Thank you, Harrison.
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		It's always a pleasure to talk to The handful of sane individuals that still exist on this planet.
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		So thank you for having me, man.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It seems like there's more people that are entering into this realm, don't you think?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I think the trajectory is upwards for liberty, don't you?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		I do. I do. It's kind of a darkest before the dawn mentality.
		And it certainly feels real dark.
		So for that reason alone, I think that there's reason for hope.
		But yeah, I mean, it's incredible.
		The amount of, you know, granted, I'm biased because my show has been gaining in popularity.
		So I'm coming into contact with more and more people that are like-minded.
		So I can never tell, you know, it's actually happening.
		Right, right. Is this actually happening on a broad level, or is this just my little microcosm of society?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		No, I really do think that it is, and I think it's thanks to people like yourself, and you have on a ton of different guests, and I think that's one of the things that our side is sort of learning how to do.
		We're all so individualistic.
		We just want to do our own thing and achieve for ourselves, but what's been happening more and more is...
		People on our side of the aisle, on the right side, the liberty-loving side, are getting together and sort of creating a whole new landscape of entertainers and thought leaders and all sorts of people that are helping to push this forward and really contributing to one another.
		Your show's been extremely good at that.
		In fact, you had our new rival, by the way, Sticks Hexenhammer, debated with Dave Smith.
		But both these are two massive figures in the alternative...
		Well, I say alt-right and people think alt-right, but, you know, the alternative right-leaning sphere, we don't have a word for it, I guess, but tell us about, you know, is this a conscious thing that you're doing?
		You're trying to bring more people in to collaborate or this is just a natural progression of your podcast?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I think that the debates are always really compelling, so I like to do those regardless.
		And for those that are listening, it was a debate on Trump's legacy and basically whether or not Trump deserves a second shot, essentially.
		Whether or not the deep state will allow that to happen is another question entirely.
		But Dave Smith and Styx are both brilliant political analysts, and they're both of the hardcore I like putting together people like that.
		I think that our sphere is growing, but it's still relatively small.
		So anytime I can put together other prominent people in this space, I think it benefits us all.
		It's kind of like Iron sharpens iron.
		You just put the best in the business together and let's all improve because of it.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		And of course, we don't have to agree on everything.
		In fact, we aren't going to, and it's a good thing that we don't, but that doesn't mean that we aren't generally on the same side and generally want the same stuff and we'll serve each other better by getting together and moving the ball down the field than sniping each other.
		In fact, one of the things that you said on Twitter that I wanted to talk about with you, and I'll just read your tweet here.
		This is one of your latest. You say, nearly every activist movement has been co-opted by multinational corporations and global governments to both enrich the rich and powerful and then ignore activist demands.
		This needs to be recognized ASAP. We don't have much time left to keep fighting amongst each other.
		What do you mean by that? Well, let's just go through all of it, but in particular, the fighting amongst each other, we don't have much time for that anymore.
		I agree, but what do you mean?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, first off, my background as a mortgage broker and Austrian economics student, I'm fairly convinced that we're facing one of the most precarious economic cliffs of my lifetime, if not a couple lifetimes.
		I think we're really in danger here.
		Especially, you know, I've kind of become a specialist in discussing ESG, environmental, social, and governance, over the past year and a half.
		And as I've grown to understand that, I now understand the mechanism by which our civilization, our economy, our culture has been taken over by, you know, what I describe as wokeness.
		And I really think that we're being played very well.
		The people that are doing this really understand human nature and decision-making trees, and they are just absolutely playing us like a fiddle.
		So what I feel like my job is is to try and elucidate this truth to more and more people, because I think that if we can get We don't need half of the people to wake up, but we do need 10 or 20% to really deeply understand how nefarious these type of plans are.
		And if we can do that, and if we can have some thought leaders in that space, I think we can actually really fight back and potentially prevail.
		So that's what I'm trying to do.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and you point out that these activist movements have been co-opted because, as you point out, they're very sophisticated in the way that they roll this stuff out, and they prey on people's good nature.
		You know, they know people in general want to be loving, want to be good, want everybody to have opportunity, so they prey on that.
		They say, okay, yeah, that's what you want.
		Well, we'll give it to you. Just implement ESG. Oh, you want to save the Earth?
		Well, just eat bugs and live in a pod, right?
unidentified		Right.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		They they take the good nature of humans and then twist it and co-opt it and turn it into something that is destructive to the humans.
		Right.
		And so, you know, can you expand a little bit more about that idea that these activist movements, which they come from a good place, the people in them have, you know, admirable ideals generally.
		But sure.
		In practice, it's awful.
unidentified		Thank you.
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, I mean, I think that Black Lives Matter was kind of the most obvious example of people having good intentions in mind.
		The activists on the ground, I'm not saying the organizers, but the activists on the ground were like, police violence is an issue.
		Like, we need to remedy this.
		And then you see that the higher ups in that movement of the corporate, you know, all caps BLM, are just profiting.
		Just tremendous amounts of sums of money, and there's actually no resources or reform that is going to the people.
		And I think that this is a trend that I've witnessed throughout my life where really good-hearted people are taken advantage of and And ultimately, we're put at each other's throats instead of realizing the game that's actually being played.
		A perfect example is the global warming game.
		And I certainly care about the environment.
		Who doesn't? We live here, of course.
		What people need to understand is that there's a real Malthusian strain that runs through the idea of anthropogenic global warming, just man-made climate change.
		And ultimately, these people believe deeply that there is an overpopulation problem and that if you believe that, then you're willing to do extraordinarily dangerous things in terms of social engineering.
		And that's what we've witnessed is that we're now having tremendous suffering.
		And COVID and the lockdowns were a good example of this as well, where you're willing to sacrifice the living today to try and save future generations.
		And we're now having energy shortages and food shortages and cultural decline all because of these terrible top-down governmental decisions.
		So I'm just doing everything I can to let people know how this is actually being played and hopefully we can come together on it.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and you're exactly right. And of course, just touching on a few of the topics that you mentioned, Black Lives Matter, global warming, COVID-19.
		I mean, it all follows the exact same playbook.
		And to me, the frustrating part is like with Black Lives Matter, for example, and I talk about this all the time on my show, so my audience is probably sick of hearing it.
		But the idea that yes, police violence was a big deal.
		But the only way you're not going to deal with that is by claiming it's about race and trying to solve a racism issue when really you're talking about a police violence issue.
		And yet, at the time, I would try to explain that.
		Like, when Black Lives Matter first started going, I would try to explain this to people, and it was like I would just get this blank stare back.
		I mean, how do you get through to people about this when it's so obvious to us?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's a good question.
		I struggle the same way you do to explain and get people on the same page, but I think you're right.
		It's just to point out the reality of it, just to acknowledge that, hey, if you make this about race, it is going to naturally be divisive.
		It's going to make One side feels as if they're being coddled and the other side feels as if they're being vilified.
		And that's essentially what happened.
		I remember right after the George Floyd event that it seemed like there was significant bipartisan agreement that, okay, we need to have some reforms to the policing system in this country.
		And then it became, you know, basically white versus black or white people versus minorities.
		And it's just like that has proven itself to be extraordinarily unproductive.
		And I just hope that people can snap out of it as soon as possible because it's not going to get us where we need to go.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		So do I more with Clint Russell from Liberty Lockdown podcast on the other side Welcome back ladies and gentlemen My guest is Clint Russell of the Liberty Lockdown Podcast.
		LibertyLockdownPodcast.com is where you can go to find that show.
		You can also find him on Twitter at LibertyLockPod.
		That's the Twitter account there.
		And of course, you have a ton of great people on your podcast.
		You yourself are getting involved in a bunch of stuff.
		Later today, you'll be going on the Convo Couch with Jimmy Dore and Dave Smith.
		Any idea what you're going to be talking about on the Convo Couch, Clint?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Probably Biden's totalitarian rant that happened last week, I would imagine, will come up.
		It seems to be the topic du jour.
		But also, there's been a lot of rumors that Jimmy might run.
		I don't know if it's under the DNC banner or if he'll run under some new political party.
		Dave Smith is obviously a big...
		Big proponent, a big spokesman for the Libertarian Party, and it's my personal hope that he runs.
		So I think that we have...
		It's interesting. This is kind of the new...
		Modern political landscape.
		You have two really brilliant stand-up comics who happen to have become even more prominent as political analysts.
		So I think that it's going to be a tremendous discussion.
		It'll be myself, Pasta, Jimmy Dore, and Dave Smith.
		It's at 4 Eastern today, so I hope some people can check that out.
		It's going to be a big one, no doubt.
		These guys have been kind of ships in the night sailing past each other, so we finally get them in the same room.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It's going to be fireworks. Well, it's great, and I think that's exactly what we need because trending right now on Twitter is hashtag civil war.
		Civil war is a major talking point now, but people like myself and you, we are desperate for a political solution, I think.
		I mean, do you think a political solution is...
		It sounds like you do when you have these new up-and-comers and the ever-shifting landscape of politics that is lending itself more to personalities like this who have a following already, getting involved and actually making a difference.
		I mean, the last thing I want in the world is a civil war in our country, especially with our international enemies just salivating at the door, waiting for us to enter into a state of total collapse so they can take advantage of it.
		Is there a political solution, and are you seeing, you know, do you have hope for that in the future, or is this sort of a desperate gamble to find something to avoid the conflict that we all see coming down the pipe?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's, I mean, every day I wake up and I feel differently, to be honest with you.
		You know, the fact that there are so many, you know, millions of people that have had their eyes opened after the, you know, the COVID hysteria, the lockdowns, and the vaccine mandates, I think I think that there's the potential for political resolution to this, but I'm personally of the opinion that ultimately there is a divide in this country that may be intractable and ultimately peaceful separation may be the way to go.
		I have a bunch of friends that are over in New Hampshire.
		The Libertarians have More or less taken over the political landscape over there.
		So in that regard, I guess I do believe that there's political solutions that are available to us.
		They are galvanizing in a singular space, and they're kind of taking over local politics, and I think that's brilliant.
		Obviously, I moved to Florida myself from California a year and a half ago to escape the tyranny there.
		And it's certainly much better here.
		So obviously, I believe that there is some additional air to breathe in certain pockets in this country.
		But until people start to really detach from the corporate media landscape and narrative and start to watch more programs like yours, I'm not sure. I'm not sure that we can ever get to a point of actually having a president elected who's sincere and serious about remedying the issues that ail us.
		So time will tell on that.
		I mean, I think that this next two, two and a half years is going to really tell the tale.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think so.
		And we're already seeing the failures of places like California.
		The story from Infowars today, blackouts imminent, 75,000 power lists as record California power usage sparks demand response event.
		Now, you're there in Florida.
		Florida, some might not know this, hotter than California.
		Yet they are not experiencing blackouts.
		What explains this?
		Clint, how could this possibly be the case?
		That you have blackouts in California, but Florida, much hotter, much more climate to deal with in terms of human comfort.
		What's behind this? What can explain this?
		Why'd you move to Florida in the first place?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I moved because of the lockdowns, but moreover, it was the totalitarian mindset of the government in California.
		It's absolutely horrific. As I said earlier, I was a mortgage broker, I was an entrepreneur, and I was just constantly being harassed by State auditors and things like that.
		I was also paying in my most successful year of my life, I paid over six figures in state taxes.
		I mean, that's insane.
		So it's a really rough space for the entrepreneurs of the world.
		And essentially, if you don't grow to be a multinational corporation, you just have no place in California, as we saw with Elon Musk fleeing to Texas.
		God knows how many big corporations fled.
		If you're not playing along with the regime, it's one of the worst places in the world to be.
		It's tragic because it's probably the most beautiful place in the world to be.
		I still have all of my friends and family there for the most part.
		As I said last night, it's like I completely understand the desire to want to dunk on California, but I think people should remember, just as we didn't vote for Biden, we don't deserve what's happening because of his reign.
		Also, there was about 15 million people in California that didn't vote for Newsom, and they don't have any say.
		This is ultimately why I hope more freedom-minded people get out of California.
		I really don't think that there's going to be, especially after so many people like myself left during lockdowns, I don't think that you'll ever get to a threshold of bringing back sanity.
		And this is why you're seeing the blackouts and just economic decline, the homelessness issue, the drug addiction.
		It's really sad.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		But isn't it so predictable?
		I mean, isn't it the most understandable thing in the world?
		And as you put it, unless you're a large corporation, you can't survive these taxes.
		And now we're seeing it across Europe.
		You see manufacturing shutting down and small businesses closing, pubs.
		They say the new electricity lockdowns will be even more damaging to them than the COVID lockdowns, if you can possibly imagine that.
		But, you know, the multinational, the McDonald's and the Taco Bell, they'll be able to weather it.
		They'll be able to handle it.
		They have the reserves necessary to deal with the things being put on them by the government.
		It's the small businesses that'll go out of business.
		And so you end up with a landscape like California.
		That's a dichotomy between the ultra-rich and the completely destitute homeless population.
		I mean, isn't that always the outcome?
		And how do they not see this pattern over and over again?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you would think it's almost the plan, ultimately.
		Right, almost, yeah. Yeah, it's just tragic.
		It really is. But, I mean, this stems into ESG, ultimately.
		The whole reason that you're seeing such terrible decline in California is because they have spent decades now focusing on, you know, quote-unquote renewable energy that ultimately doesn't deliver energy yields that are necessary to sustain the life in your state,
		you know? Right. And if people don't wake up to this, if you didn't wake up during lockdowns and now you're having rolling blackouts and soon you're going to have food shortages, if you don't wake up during this period, I don't think you're reachable ultimately.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		And what's stopping people from waking up?
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Is it just fear? Is it just fear that acknowledging what's going on, you have to recognize that there's a plan in place, that this is happening on purpose, and that's just too scary and people can't handle that realization?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		I think that's exactly right, actually.
		Sometimes I'm sure you feel like, wouldn't it be nice to just close my eyes and go back to sleep?
		Right. I think a lot of people are making that conscious decision of like, you know, maybe there is some really nefarious stuff going on, but I'm not going to focus on that because it's just too much to bear.
		I'm accustomed to believing in the leadership of my government, and I'm going to continue to do so come hell or high water.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		It's so true. We're going to talk more about ESG on the other side with Clint Russell.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		LibertyLockdownPodcast.com is where you go to find his show.
unidentified		We'll be right back. You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
		This is The American Journal.
		I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
		I'm thinking about this. If I was a rapper, if I was one of these right-wing rappers like Tom McDonald or Bryson Gray, I think I could do a whole song that consisted of nothing but three-letter initialisms that describe the downfall of our world.
		From the CIA and FBI to ESG, the WEF and BLM. I mean, these three-letter...
		You know, initialisms are destroying us.
		And I think at the top of that pile is ESG, environmental...
		What even is it?
		Environmental social governance.
		And it is the ultimate.
		It's the holy grail of control from the big banks on down.
		And Clint Russell is, of course, a self-made expert on this topic.
		And you mentioned a little bit in the last segment.
		So let's dig into it. What is ESG and why is this an existential threat...
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		to really humanity itself, ESG. Yeah, well, that's the ironic part is that it's an existential threat to humanity because they have convinced a good percentage of humanity that there is an existential threat to them that stems from their own breathing.
		So it's kind of, yeah, it's a paradox.
		I mean, ESG is ultimately the precursor to fascism, and it's been rolled out in a way that's It's so secretive and so brilliantly marketed that the vast majority of people either one, have no idea what it is, or two, think it's a good thing.
		So I've taken it upon myself along with James Lindsay and Vivek Ramaswamy and a handful of others to really get this message out there that this ultimately is going to end up in tremendous human suffering.
		Tremendous. And when I finally realized what was happening, I started to understand.
		For years, I tried to figure out why are all of these big businesses marketing to me in a way that makes me not want to buy their product?
		When Gillette was running those ads about toxic masculinity three or four years ago, I was like, why in God's name would you target your primary demographic with hate-filled, wokest rhetoric?
		And then I ultimately figured it out.
		It was that ESG had been rolled out in earnest, and you had BlackRock, which had $10 trillion under management, State Street and Vanguard, which had another $15 trillion under management combined.
		You're talking more than the GDP of the United States, just between those three money managers.
		And when you have that kind of sway, well, then all of a sudden you get to really put your thumb on the levers of power.
		And ultimately, these guys are only in power because of Thank you.
		Thank you.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		And, you know, a lot of people will point to capitalism as the culprit, right?
		They'll say, well, you know, capitalism's just following the trends.
		If this is what sells, that's what they're doing.
		It's popular to make...
		But, like you said, it doesn't make any sense.
		Gillette's not selling any razors by calling their target demographic bad people.
		That's not selling anything.
		This is a total violation of capitalist ideals, just like government involvement in capitalism completely distorts the whole practice.
		I mean... It's using capitalism in a way, but it's completely divorced from the idea of capitalism, which is just the sort of blind market not making any decisions other than here's what people want, let's give it to them.
		So can you talk a little bit about just the way ESG is perverting or distorting the capitalist ideal?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely, yeah. You nailed it.
		Basically, the... Premise behind capitalism is that you're going to fulfill consumer demands.
		Because if you don't have a consumer, an end consumer that wants to purchase your product, you're going to fail, right?
		Well, they discovered a way to circumvent the incentive structure.
		And the way they did that is they funnel money through the central banks to these biggest money managers because they have access to the Fed window that allows them to dictate their business model Contrary to consumer demand.
		So they can actually hurt their bottom line, but the bigger threat is that they get divested from by the biggest money managers on the planet.
		So if, say, Larry Fink over at BlackRock decides to himself, You're not doing enough to propagate the carbon reduction schemes that I have or the racial identitarianism that I want to see rolled out in your government structure of your corporation.
		Well, I'm going to take My $10 trillion that I have under management, I'm going to divest from everything that you're involved with.
		I mean, Elon Musk has been suffering this fate because of his attempted foray into the social media landscape with his attempted acquisition of Twitter.
		They have mechanisms now that are Way more powerful than anything we've ever seen before.
		This is why we're seeing deplatforming en masse, because you have the ability to get the government now dictating to big businesses as to what they're going to do when it comes to censorship, and ultimately they will not receive funding from the biggest money managers if they don't go along with this.
		So it's classic fascism.
		It really is.
		And that's the ironic part is that you have one of the biggest proponents of fascism in this country, which is Joe Biden, who has had his own CDC dictating what social media will allow to be discussed on their platforms.
		And he's up there warning that his opponents are the actual fascists.
		It's just pure woke progressive projection.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and of course, it's also confusing.
		And as you point out, that, you know, well, Tesla's a great example.
		Elon Musk is a great example. They always claim that electric vehicles are the number one solution that they want to pursue.
		Here's a guy who has made the most successful Strictly electric vehicle company in the history of the world, and yet he's got a low ESG score because he doesn't hire Greta Thunberg to give speeches to his company, right?
		So it's like even their own goals are secondary to the signaling that they demand.
		And of course, it also means that You can't exactly boycott these companies.
		Sure, we could boycott Gillette, but hey, if you have your retirement fund held by one of these banks, they're getting your money anyway.
		They're just getting it through investments.
		So it's really just throwing a wrench in the works of what used to be a pretty well-functioning capitalistic system we had here.
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's exactly right.
		And this is why it's so important that people understand this, because if you don't understand it, it is logical to conclude that capitalism is failing us.
		But when you understand that this is not capitalism, then you can actually...
		Identify the real issue and start to create a real remedy to it.
		And that's what I've attempted to do because if people think that this is capitalism, this is terrible.
		I mean, this is an awful way to live.
		And I'm very concerned that you'll have more and more young people advocating for socialism, which is ultimately the goal in the end state anyway.
		So I think that's really what's happening is that you have more and more people that are suffering, that are struggling to get that first rung on the economic ladder.
		You see it with housing.
		Once again, BlackRock and Larry Fink are at the bottom of that as to why it's so hard to afford anything in this country.
		Then you have the Federal Reserve, which is inflating away our currency, which makes it even harder to get your foot on the first rung of the economic ladder.
		And if you're in that position and you're a young person and you're drowning under student debt because you went to college that you shouldn't have gone to, I don't blame you ultimately.
		You're wrong, but I understand, if that makes any sense.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, no, I think it does.
		And again, you have to look around the world right now and see just the sheer number of small businesses that collapsed during the COVID lockdowns.
		That was not a consequence of them being unsuccessful.
		That was a consequence of government programs and forcing people to go to just the big box stores.
		So you have the exact same amount of money that gets siphoned out of the middle class, ends up in the coffers of the billionaires, and yet people think this is...
		Capitalism somehow?
		Or this is just like a natural occurrence?
		How do we open people's eyes to this other than just rubbing their faces in it like a dog that's made a mess?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, right. I think that Your point is exactly right.
		If you think that this is a free market capitalist model, and yet you had basically every small business in this country get shut down for the better part of a year, in some states almost two years, it's like Come on.
		Right. You just have to, like, I don't know what else to tell you.
		Like, this is just so clearly not a free market.
		Just come on, please.
		Open your freaking eyes. That's so funny.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		That is, I'm sorry, we're about to go to break.
		We'll be back with the final segment with Clint Russell from Liberty Lockdown Podcast.
		But you're exactly right. That's like, that's like most of my job now is just reading a story and going, oh, come on.
		Oh, come on! You don't believe this, do you?
		Come on! I shouldn't have to explain this to you.
		It's so obvious. It's so overt.
		It's so in your face.
		Just wake up for the love of God.

		And the website is LibertyLockdownPodcast.com.
		We're talking about ESG and the plan to destroy the world.
		And, of course, this is being carried out and managed, really, by the World Economic Forum, another three-letter campaign.
		Initialism that should haunt your dreams, WEF. And I mean, in one way, it's almost like they've done us a favor, Clint, by just giving us the name, right?
		The Great Reset, the World Economic Forum, Stakeholder Capitalism.
		Like, they give us the name that we can now point to and go, this.
		This is what's evil. This is what's bad.
		When we say they, and people go, who is they?
		We go, these guys. Here they are, right here.
		I mean, so...
		Talk to us about the ESG and the way that the World Economic Forum is helping to bring this about through this concept of stakeholder capitalism.
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Sure. Not enough people give the origin story of ESG, so let me do that for 45 seconds.
		Kofi Annan was the Secretary General of the United Nations.
		In 2004, he puts out this memorandum where they're talking without saying ESG because that acronym hadn't been created yet, but he's talking about stakeholder capitalism, things of that nature, and how they need to have big business involved if they're going to alleviate this carbon crisis.
		So he sends out this letter to the 50 biggest businesses on the planet, and what do you know?
		They turn around and say, yeah, this sounds like a great idea.
		So they all get in line.
		And where do these CEOs, where do these power brokers ultimately meet every year?
		Well, Davos, Switzerland, under the World Economic Forum banner.
		So that's how it went from an idea to the implementation phase, is that the World Economic Forum is where these ideas, these really evil ideas, in my opinion, get propagated.
		And, you know, Klaus Schwab is...
		He's achieving only his most wild dreams right now.
		And it's so complicated because it's really, it is hard to wrap your head around.
		Like, really? There's all these people that are working behind the scenes to make this stuff happen.
		And it's like, no, what you need to understand is they're not working behind the scenes.
		Many of them are true believers.
		They think that carbon emissions are ultimately the most dangerous thing that we're facing.
		And they're willing to do whatever it takes because they're concerned.
		And I think that that's the important thing to realize.
		This isn't just purely about power.
		It is certainly that, too.
		And there are many bad actors that are only in this for enriching themselves and increasing their power.
		But there are also millions, if not billions, of people that have been completely convinced that the carbon crisis is an existential threat, and anything that you have to do in the interim to alleviate it makes sense.
		So I'm trying to reach out to those people and say, look, Whatever you think about carbon emissions, this ultimately is not going to get you what you want, because these big businesses ultimately are still most interested in their bottom line, and they're going to do what's called greenwashing, where they give you lip service, they build you statues, they do all sorts of, you know, basically like symbolic remedies, while ultimately they continue to destroy the planet anyway.
		So you're not Even if you believe that this is an existential threat, you're still not getting what you're being promised.
		And I think that's an important message for people to understand.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right. It's a scam.
		It's all just a big scam.
		And scams typically prey on something generally real, right?
		If I'm going to pull a scam where I'm pretending to set up a security thing on your house, but really it's not connected to anything and I'm just taking your money and running with it, that doesn't mean that your concern about home security isn't valid.
		Sure, your concern about the destruction of the earth can be valid.
		But if you're being scammed and the solution being offered you doesn't actually fix anything, then you have to wake up and not continue to be a sucker.
		And yet people, it seems almost religious.
		It seems like once they buy into that scam, they cannot let go of it, even when it's obvious and in their face that it's a scam.
		We talk about all the time biomass, right, where they're chopping down forests to burn the wood.
		And then they're claiming it's totally green because it's not coal.
		And it's just like it's so obviously wrong, and yet people can't even question it.
		And they feel like if you question it, it means you don't believe in science, right?
		I mean, that's how ridiculous it is.
		But, yeah, it's just a scam.
		Simply, it's a scam.
		I mean, does it need to be any more complicated than that?
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, I mean, if you want to put it to the most simplistic level, yes, absolutely.
		It's a scam, and you should fight it with every ounce of your ability, because it's a scam that ultimately results in tremendous human suffering.
		I mean, that's the saddest thing about this, is that oftentimes the people that they're preaching to, the adherents to the religion of wokeness, they are...
		We're told that this is about alleviating impoverishment for the downtrodden.
		But if you look at what's happened because of this faith in a technocratic top-down approach to every problem that ails society, you've now seen that Lockdowns have made the poor poorer.
		They're starting to have famines across the world because of it.
		This is not the way that you solve these types of problems.
		If you believe that this is an existential threat, the last thing you want is global government trying to remedy it.
		That's ultimately going to take us in reverse and make the situation far worse.
		So that's my hope is that no matter what your belief is on carbon and whether or not it's the Life force itself or if it's ultimately going to kill us all.
		Regardless, you should be on board with me when it comes to this is not the way to remedy it.
		We need to innovate our way out of this.
		We need to be focusing on nuclear power.
		There's plenty of ways that we can actually reduce carbon emissions, but it's not going to come from giving the government more power and money.
harrison smith ▲ ● ▼		Right, exactly. I always make the joke that it's like, wow, I hate that this 6,000-year-old redwood is in the path of a forest fire.
		God, we would do anything to stop that.
		It's a jewel. It's a treasure on Earth.
		It's irreplaceable. People are like, yeah, I totally agree.
		So, you know, eat bugs and let me track your phone.
		It's like... That's not solving anything.
		What are you talking about?
		What do you mean?
		And then, you know, the other danger of ESG and the World Economic Forum stuff is his idea of stakeholder capitalism.
		Klaus Schwab, who, of course, was Henry Kissinger's understudy.
		Like, this goes way back, and you've got Mark Benioff, who's Klaus Schwab's understudy, who runs Time magazine and celebrates the fortification of the 2020 election, right?
		They're all tied in together.
		It is one giant conspiracy.
		And then they do things like activate this conspiracy.
		Corporate monstrosity they've created to go against local localities who choose laws that don't align with their ideals.
		Like in Georgia when they wanted to have the MLB game there and they all pulled out and Under Armour went against them and Coca-Cola spoke out against them and this was all orchestrated by Linda Rothschild.
		So you have this organized force of corporations who can then exert political will to overwhelm the will of the people.
		I mean, I think it is all about power at the end of the day.
		I think they would lose all the money that they have if it means they could force their will on people politically.
clint russell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I think that at the highest levels, you're absolutely right.
		But I was more referencing the activists that are involved.
		Just as I said, all activist organizations get taken over eventually.
		Well, this has not only has the crisis itself in terms of the marketing has been created by these people.
		So there was a lie at its inception.
		Al Gore obviously made this a very popular theme.

		The vast majority of people are just like, look, tell me what you need and just do it.
		And it's like, look...
		If you're going to go along to get along on this, you're going to starve.
		This is truly existential, but it's on the inverse, as I said.
		They're claiming that if you don't give them all the power and money, you're going to all die.
		I'm telling you, if you give them all the power and money, you're going to die.
		So you cannot go along with this plan, and these are really dangerous, deranged, wrong people.

		That'd take a whole other hour.
		I just don't know how people are still going along with allowing these technocrats to try and rule us.
		It's so crystal clear that even if you believe that these problems are sincere, that this is not the solution to it.

		Like, what have they ever done that has proven that they have your interest in mind even a little bit?
		All they do is hurt you.
		All they do is exploit you.
		All they do is let you twist in the wind as they, you know, rake in the cash on the side.
		So, amazing stuff.
