You're watching the American Journal with your host Harrison Smith. | |
Good morning ladies and gentlemen welcome to the American Journal. | ||
Oh, let me guess. Really big show today. | ||
Gonna be a good one. Lots of videos. | ||
Lots of phone calls. Yeah, duh, every day. | ||
Every day. It's an amazing show, and it's gonna be another one today. | ||
We've got James O'Keefe being ousted from Project Veritas. | ||
We'll tell you all the nitty-gritty details about that. | ||
Putin delivering a speech. | ||
A nuclear one. | ||
And we'll get into that as well. | ||
Lots of stuff to get into. | ||
We'll also be talking quite a bit about January 6th and the new footage that's been released and some that is yet to come. | ||
All of that and more as well as Matt Baker. | ||
Talk about his protests that will be going on tomorrow. | ||
And some more great guests. | ||
Just a ton of stuff ahead, so stay tuned. | ||
But first, let's go to the latest Reese Report. | ||
This one's called Predictive Programming in the Ohio Trainwreck. | ||
Let's watch. | ||
In the movie Knowing, the news reported a major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. | ||
unidentified
|
Tonight, in the Gulf of Mexico, an explosion on a soon-to-be-decommissioned oil rig triggered a fire which burned for three hours before it was extinguished. | |
Officials don't yet know the exact cause of the explosion, but believe a malfunction in the cooling system may have been at fault. | ||
A year later, the Deepwater Horizon exploded. | ||
Six months before 9-11, a lone gunman episode showed us the World Trade Center being targeted by a hijacked passenger plane. | ||
unidentified
|
I'm going to crash the plane into the World Trade Center. | |
And last year's film, White Noise, was about a train wreck that poisons a small town in Ohio. | ||
This is the very same story now playing out in real life. | ||
Within a year of white noise's release, the actual event occurs in real life. | ||
In Ohio, in Texas, and in Michigan. | ||
This is known as predictive programming. | ||
And its purpose is to psychologically trick the minds of the masses into accepting major traumatic events that would otherwise be resisted. | ||
In the book Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare, Michael Hoffman describes a mind control technique known as the revelation of the method. | ||
And he writes that when the revelation of the method is performed in a veiled manner, accompanied by certain occult signs and symbolic words and elicits no meaningful response of opposition or resistance from the target, it is one of the most efficacious techniques of psychological warfare and mind rape. | ||
Sarah Elkhaldi of the Alchemist YouTube channel does an excellent job of explaining all this. | ||
According to Elkhaldi, there is a law of nature in this universe that compels the dark occult to first gain our consent before trespassing against us. | ||
Because they believe this protects them from the natural laws of cause and effect. | ||
They offered, and we accepted, so it's all fair. | ||
A lack of response to an action is often taken as an approval of that action. | ||
And there is an old Latin proverb that says, he who is silent when he ought to have spoken and was able to, is taken to agree. | ||
Silence is considered by many to be a form of consent. | ||
And so it is through a veiled performance of the revelation of the method technique that these dark occultists believe they are gaining our consent, what we know as predictive programming. | ||
With predictive programming, the minds of the masses are impregnated with visuals of a major event before it happens. | ||
This is done through all forms of media and can be very subtle so that nobody notices. | ||
That is just the beginning of that fantastic report by Greg Reese. | ||
Predictive programming in the Ohio train wreck. | ||
Go find and share it on band.video. | ||
Stay with us. We'll be back on the other side with your Daily Dispatch. | ||
unidentified
|
It's a doozy. It's Tuesday, February 21st, Year of Our Lord 2023. | |
And you're listening to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Welcome to The American Journal. | ||
I'm your host, Harrison Smith. | ||
We have a lot to talk about today. | ||
We'll, of course, be... | ||
I don't want to do a spoiler alert. | ||
All these stories are in the Daily Dispatch. | ||
Yeah, we have a lot to talk about. | ||
A lot of videos to go to as well. | ||
I almost feel bad for my crew. | ||
I'm too ambitious every morning as I'm compiling videos. | ||
Sitting there going, there's no way. | ||
There's no way I can play all these. | ||
There's no way I'm going to be able to get to all these. | ||
So we'll have to be judicious in our picking and choosing of videos. | ||
But we will certainly be showing a lot of videos that have recently been uncovered from January 6th. | ||
And that, of course, will be a major topic of today's discussion. | ||
Also, the increasing likelihood of nuclear conflict with Russia. | ||
And we'll get into Project Veritas as well. | ||
We'll try our hardest to go to your phone calls today, but we also have a couple great guests, including Matt Baker, who is... | ||
Protesting Pfizer tomorrow, and it'll be a call to arms in an entirely peaceful sense. | ||
A call to voices, I mean, to get people out there in, I believe, San Diego. | ||
We'll talk to him at the 9.30 time slot. | ||
So we'll try to take as many of your calls as possible. | ||
But first, let's begin, as we always do, with our Daily Dispatch. | ||
All right, here it is, folks, your Daily Dispatch for Tuesday, the 21st of February, 2023. | ||
Putin delivers nuclear warning to the West over Ukraine. | ||
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday delivered a nuclear warning to the West over Ukraine, suspending a landmark nuclear arms control treaty announcing new strategic systems that have been put on duty and warning that Moscow could resume nuclear tests. | ||
This is the START treaty that they're... | ||
No longer participating in. | ||
It was signed by then-US President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev. | ||
In 2010, the treaty caps the number of deployed strategic nuclear warheads that the United States and Russia can deploy. | ||
It was due to expire in 2026. | ||
Seems like Russia accelerated that timeline. | ||
We'll show you some clips from that speech and we'll talk more about it. | ||
It was almost the equivalent to the State of the Union. | ||
It was a yearly address that Putin gives on the state of Syria. | ||
His nation and of course the war in Ukraine. | ||
But it's beyond that. | ||
He goes into the ideological reasons why this war is being fought. | ||
And we'll show you that video in just a little bit. | ||
Meanwhile, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has handed over 41,000 hours of January 6 video to Tucker Carlson. | ||
And we'll talk about this as well. | ||
There's already been some new videos from some recent trials that we're going to show you today that show beyond any Semblance of doubt that January 6th was an inside job. | ||
There were undercover police absolutely everywhere as the primary instigators of the riot that occurred. | ||
And we'll show you that. Some people are... | ||
Mad about this. Him handing it over to Tucker Carlson. | ||
I was thinking about it. I don't think it's the worst idea. | ||
I think eventually, yes, all of the footage should be available publicly. | ||
Just on Rumble or something. | ||
Like, just go up somewhere for people to go through it. | ||
But, as I understand it, Tucker Carlson and his producers have been... | ||
Going over this footage for the last week and through the next week, they'll be dedicating their show to showing this footage and putting it in its right context. | ||
And I honestly think that's a very good way to do it. | ||
I think a lot of times, like too much information, too fast, if you just dump all this information and you just go on Twitter and you just see like a million clips, the narrative can get lost. | ||
I actually think that what Tucker Carlson could do with this would be like what the January 6th Commission tried to do with their primetime show trial. | ||
Like, have something where everybody can watch at the same time and get this information laid out in context with the narrative behind it, really making a case using this footage as evidence. | ||
I think that's a great way to start the release. | ||
I think eventually all of it should be released, but I don't think this is some sort of trick from Kevin McCarthy. | ||
People are just like, this is not releasing the footage. | ||
I don't know. I think eventually it should be released. | ||
And if it's not, then I'll be mad. | ||
But for now, I think this is a good way to roll it out, to maximize the impact and the focus and the eyes on this stuff. | ||
And I generally trust Tucker Carlson to a point. | ||
But I generally trust Tucker Carlson and his team to be able to present this in an effective way. | ||
More effective than the Democrat attempts to do an entire show trial about this. | ||
I think this will actually be the... | ||
The primetime viewing event that they wanted that to be. | ||
Meanwhile, of course, one of the biggest stories in a very long time, James O'Keefe out at Project Veritas. | ||
James O'Keefe has been pushed out of Project Veritas. | ||
The executive director, Daniel Strack, last Wednesday released a statement on James O'Keefe's status with the organization that turned out to be a total lie. | ||
And James O'Keefe released a 45-minute video speech, an emotional one where he broke down several times. | ||
He lays out the entire timeline of events, how this occurred, even so far as to tell the whole story of his 13 years building and creating Project Veritas before the rapid expulsion that came about in some very dubious circumstances. | ||
And we'll show you some choice clips from that 45-minute speech. | ||
The whole thing really is worth watching. | ||
If you have time, I encourage you to go to James O'Keefe's Twitter and just watch the 45-minute speech. | ||
And I said on Twitter, I know it's cheesy. | ||
I know it's like the nerdiest thing to say. | ||
But it really is like watching... | ||
We live in a time where you can watch the... | ||
It's like watching a Roman general give a speech to his legions. | ||
Like, we are in an information war, and while Infowars maybe is like the primary legion that forms the body of this army, and we're fighting in this cyberspace arena, James O'Keefe is like the special ops, special forces, behind enemy lines, undercover operation. | ||
And he gave this speech, and again, you know... | ||
War has changed, and it's not legions storming Germania anymore. | ||
It's Americans working to expose the wrongdoings in an attempt to wage battle in the battlefield of the mind, and it really is fascinating and interesting, and he is really an amazing dude, | ||
and I think We're good to go. | ||
This is James O'Keefe. Wherever he goes, the audience will go, the donors will go, and I expect and suspect a lot of the Project Veritas employees will go. | ||
So we'll talk about that. We'll show you those clips a little bit later. | ||
Meanwhile, the Ohio train derailment story is not over, not by a long shot. | ||
Toxic clouds spew down acid rain following Ohio train derailments, reports claim. | ||
Residents hundreds of miles from the toxic Ohio event report acid rain falling from the sky after numerous industrial chemicals permeated into the atmosphere. | ||
And this includes people seeing the discoloration of water on the ground in puddles after rain falls, as well as people in places like New York saying it started raining and everywhere smells like chlorine now. | ||
What is going on? Well, what's going on is that our entire country is under a reign of terror. | ||
And... The destruction is on purpose, organized, coordinated and designed to bring about the inevitable climate lockdowns. | ||
Speaking of, these last two stories fall directly in line with these. | ||
At least 13 injured in an explosion at a metal alloy factory in Bedford, Ohio. | ||
At least 13 people are injured after an explosion at a metal alloy factory in Bedford, Ohio. | ||
The explosion occurred at the iSchumann& Co. | ||
Metal Alloy Plant Monday afternoon. | ||
And of course, this comes after the explosion of a food factory in Verona, Italy and the explosion of a manufacturing plant in Chicago. | ||
And of course, just every day, it seems like some new major manufacturing plant just goes up in flames or explodes randomly. | ||
But usually it has to do with food or basic necessities and making it Ever more expensive and difficult to simply survive. | ||
In this case, it was a metal manufacturing plant. | ||
What a lot of these stories don't tell you is that they manufacture bullets. | ||
So this is a bullet manufacturing plant, amongst other things, but they do supply a huge number of bullets to places like the Defense Department. | ||
So, gee, isn't that a shame? | ||
It is, actually. It actually is a shame, because we need the bullets, and we're going to need more of them soon. | ||
Finally, we have this story. | ||
It really took me a second to double-check this next story and make sure that it's real, but it is how to fix global warming, bring back rationing. | ||
This was posted yesterday to The Times. | ||
Yes, the oldest and most respected newspaper in England, in Britain, in the UK, is now advocating rationing to stop global warming. | ||
Just... When you're put in a camp and your food is rationed and your energy is rationed, just remember we told you so. | ||
unidentified
|
Will you do that for us? | |
Thanks. Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
This is the American Journal Infowars.com. | ||
Infowarsstore.com is where you go to support us as we continue to document and rail against the Great Reset New World Order scam that is quite legitimately, quite literally building a prison planet. | ||
Do you know Boston in the United States is also discussing a 15-minute zone type situation? | ||
Again, regardless of how the people who live there feel. | ||
Folks, I really do hope you can... | ||
Support us. And obviously not just me, but the entire crew here works so hard day and night to make this the finest possible program we can. | ||
And of course, it's entirely brought to you by you, the American people. | ||
When you go to InfowarStore.com, go try some of the prebiotic fiber. | ||
It's back in stock. You can amp up your body's probiotic potential with this prebiotic fiber. | ||
It's 40% off right now. | ||
Really does wonders for your digestive system and really your entire body will benefit from this, as it will from many of our incredible supplements. | ||
But of course, what you do in the process of buying these supplements is support this singular outfit of freedom. | ||
And a place that you can be proud to support. | ||
Like, I am proud to work here. | ||
I was just looking at some of the other alternative media sites and just thinking, I could never work for these people. | ||
I just couldn't. I couldn't do it. | ||
And, you know, they're either controlled or they're like... | ||
Mean. They're like totally controlled and you could never work there because people would tell you not to cover things and you'd have to do it or you'd be fired. | ||
Not really the case here at InfoWars. | ||
Nobody ever tells me what to say. | ||
I just go off the cuff and... | ||
We let anybody call in, say whatever they want. | ||
We're totally uncontrolled, but we're also not a website that you'd be embarrassed to send to your friends. | ||
People ask, where do you work? | ||
I'm not like, it's just this little alternative. | ||
I'm just like, it's called Infowars.com. | ||
Go there now. Go there today. | ||
We love everyone. We hate the globalist. | ||
It's pretty simple. That's a beautiful thing, because... | ||
wouldn't want to tell your friends and family that you work at InfoWars is not one of those. | ||
So I just feel so blessed to have found InfoWars and be welcomed here. | ||
It really is amazing. | ||
And I really hope that you can support the great work that so many people here at InfoWars do, including trying desperately, futile though it may seem, to stop the oncoming nuclear holocaust. | ||
Yeah, it's getting closer and closer every single day because it is apparently exactly what our leadership wants. | ||
Now, Putin has delivered a nuclear warning to the West over Ukraine, the latest in a long line of warnings that has gone totally unheeded by our leadership. | ||
But I actually want to start before, because I'm going to show you a clip from Putin's speech. | ||
Before we do that, I'm going to start with clip number four. | ||
Before I go to that, I want to tell you a little story about my favorite topic, ancient Rome. | ||
I talked yesterday about the power of oracles or prophets, that sort of thing. | ||
And the one thing you need to realize about prophets and oracles, even in ancient times, they understood their power was related to the number of people that believed in them, essentially. | ||
The more people believed in them, the more powerful they were, the more accurate their prophecies. | ||
As people turned Christian and people stopped paying attention to the old gods, their power waned to where actually the most prominent oracle, the oracle at Delphi, their last statement in all of history was basically like the Christians have won, our power is waning, the God of, you know, Jesus Christ has the God of, you know, Jesus Christ has defeated us and will not give any more prophecies. | ||
And they didn't. No more prophecies after that. | ||
So that's really how it works. | ||
So I think it was particularly symbolic, perhaps something that metaphysically should be paid attention to, the fact that We still have these types of ceremonies. | ||
We sort of treat them as jokes, but still, every year, people pull a groundhog out of the ground and see if it casts a shadow. | ||
It's like kind of a weird occult, pagan kind of ritual. | ||
People still pay attention to it, and that gives it some form of metaphysical legitimacy, in my opinion. | ||
This year, the groundhog was dead, and maybe we should pay attention to that. | ||
Similarly, in ancient Rome, if you were embarking on some sort of military expedition, if something didn't go right, you would actually call off the whole military expedition. | ||
Or like there's this one account of a general as he's doing the ceremony, getting on the boat ready to go, you know, attack somebody overseas. | ||
He trips and he sort of stumbles a little bit and the whole army like gasps. | ||
It was like this terror. | ||
Basically, they're like, oh, my God, we're all going to die. | ||
And so to appease the gods, he throws like some super valuable thing into the sea. | ||
And everybody's like, OK, all right, we're going to be good. | ||
So, you know, there's like there's like these symbols. | ||
If you start off a journey and your first step is a trip, that's why people carry brides across the threshold of a door because it was thought that if a bride is walking across the door and trips, the marriage was doomed. | ||
She'd be barren or something. | ||
So you pick up the bride just to make sure nothing goes wrong the first time you enter that house as a married couple. | ||
So we still carry on some of these traditions. | ||
All this is to say that this video is of the delegation... | ||
Of the president trying to disembark from Air Force One. | ||
Let's see if we can glean any sort of prophetic reading out of how smoothly this went. | ||
Let's go to clip number four. They're going down the stairs to the tarmac and they all just roll down the stairs. | ||
Well, this is what happens when... | ||
You know, your admirals are wearing high heels, I guess. | ||
I don't know. Maybe that's the issue here. | ||
Maybe it's a sign of things to come. | ||
Maybe it's just yet another predictable embarrassment from the Biden administration. | ||
I swear the Biden administration is averaging like two or three gaffes a day over the entire presidency. | ||
It's too much. | ||
It's too much. And it's indicative of their... | ||
The overall embarrassment they caused with their existence and their failure to do anything right, ever. | ||
But that's all beside the point. | ||
Obviously, Biden is there in Ukraine, essentially doing all but declaring war on Russia itself. | ||
At least that's the way the Russian media is presenting it, saying, yeah, when you've got the President of the United States going to an active war zone and promising long-range weapons that can hit targets inside Russia to Ukraine, the mask is off. | ||
We are at war with Russia now. | ||
Russia is not at war with us. | ||
They're at war with globalism. | ||
Let's go now to clip number five. Here's Putin's speech yesterday. | ||
unidentified
|
They cannot ignore the fact that Russia cannot be defeated on the battlefield. | |
So they're waging increasingly aggressive information attacks. | ||
First of all, targeting the young generations, lying on every step, distorting historical truth. | ||
Attacking our culture, the Russian Orthodox Church, and other traditional religious institutions in our country. | ||
Now look at what they're doing with their own peoples. | ||
They're destroying the institution of family, their cultural and historical identity, and various perversions with regard to children Up to pedophilia are accepted as the new norm, and priests are forced to recognize and officiate same-sex weddings. | ||
People can live however they want, and we in Russia have never intruded into people's private life, and we're not going to do that. | ||
What we want to say is maybe they should take a look in the scripture, into the holy book of any great religion. | ||
So that's Putin giving his yearly speech. | ||
That's what they're fighting for. | ||
What are we fighting for? | ||
We're fighting for a democracy that completely ignores the will of the people when it goes against them. | ||
We're fighting for a rules-based order when we completely ignore the rules if they go against us. | ||
We're fighting for nothing. | ||
We're fighting for an illusion, a scam, a sham, a lie. | ||
What they're fighting for resonates. | ||
It's real. And take that for what it's worth. | ||
All right, welcome back. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, January 6th. | ||
The most terrible day in our republic. | ||
Do you remember? | ||
Where were you? Where were you on January 6th? | ||
I was sitting behind Alex Jones' desk covering it all live. | ||
Not encouraging it necessarily. | ||
Certainly reveling in it. | ||
Certainly enjoying it. | ||
But of course, very shortly after the January 6th, the unauthorized stroll through the Capitol, never forget, where were you? | ||
People started asking questions as to who were the people that incited this. | ||
Were there Antifa members dressed up as Trump supporters? | ||
The answer to that was, of course, yes, as we actually have video footage of Antifa members Hiding in the bushes, changing into Trump garb and getting caught on video doing it. | ||
So that's the answer to that. | ||
But also was the... | ||
Yeah, there that is. Now the crew is quick on the draw here. | ||
Of course, you had Ray Epps, a classic talking point for good reason for us on the right. | ||
One of the only people to not get some outrageous prison sentence despite being in the center of all of it, encouraging all of it, talking about how he was going to encourage all of it before it ever happened in text messages. | ||
That's beside the point. Everybody knows that. | ||
But new footage has been released. | ||
And no, I'm not talking about the 40-plus thousand hours of footage that's been handed over to Tucker Carlson that will be released in stages throughout this week. | ||
And again, like I said in the Daily Dispatch, I think this is not the worst way to release this. | ||
I think this may be a very effective way to paint the picture of what happened on January 6th, to have a primetime viewing of this on a national cable news show where we can all tune in, we can all Get on the same page here. | ||
It's what the left tried to do with the January 6th commission and failed because nobody cared. | ||
And everything they said was lies. | ||
And the only thing I remember from it is the hilarious accounts of things like Donald Trump trying to wrest the steering wheel away from the Secret Service officer. | ||
Just absurd fantasies that they were painting that nobody bought. | ||
So this will be what they were trying to do, but it'll have the facts and footage and reality to back it up. | ||
But other footage has been released. | ||
And again, it's like you've got three sets. | ||
First, you've got the footage that has been out since day one that shows, again, unequivocally very suspicious things going on, such as peaceful crowds having grenades thrown into the midst of people not... | ||
Even yelling particularly loudly, and people actually literally being killed by those incendiary devices thrown into the crowd. | ||
Then there was the footage of things like black-clad special forces agents with earpieces breaking windows open, and when other protesters go up and say, hey, hey, this is not what we're about, you shouldn't do this, police come up and arrest those people and allow the person breaking the window to continue their business. | ||
Very suspicious, but that's been out for a while. | ||
So I'm not going to retread any ground here. | ||
We've already seen a lot of this footage. | ||
Also, the doors with magnetic locks being opened from somewhere within the building to allow people in. | ||
Obviously, there's footage of police officers guiding people in, holding the door for people as they welcome them in. | ||
I mean, you've seen all of that. | ||
But there's also new footage that's out that shows beyond any reasonable doubt just how many undercover police were there and just how this was a setup to set up the Trump supporters and to set up the Capitol Police themselves. | ||
And there's actually footage of the Capitol Police saying, we've been set up, and we'll show you that in just a second. | ||
Kyle Becker has this story on his substack. | ||
Newly released J6 footage shows non-uniformed officers, police, urging pro-Trump protesters to go to the Capitol. | ||
The newly released video, plainclothes officers revealed their identification and confirmed they're all armed. | ||
So we actually have that video. | ||
We can go to it now. Clip number 25. | ||
This is a chest-mounted camera on an officer named Officer Brown. | ||
He is a Metropolitan Police Department bicycle cop. | ||
And they caught sight of a group of armed individuals heading towards the Capitol and approached them. | ||
Here's what happened next. | ||
Here you see the bike cop riding up. | ||
Other bike cops come from the other direction. | ||
They surround this small group of about five people. | ||
Hey, how you guys doing? Not a single one of these people is in uniform, no badge, no nothing. | ||
unidentified
|
Just doing my investigation. | |
Mm-hmm. Acting disrespectfully, is anyone armed? | ||
Anyone armed? Yes, we're armed. Police. | ||
Police? Yeah, law enforcement. | ||
Can you show me your credentials? Okay. | ||
Appreciate it. Appreciate it. | ||
That's all I need. You gotta do a little bit better at hiding that. | ||
You gotta do a little bit better at hiding that. | ||
So there you have no less than four undercover officers, heavily armed, dressed like typical Trump supporters, American flag, you know, bandanas, that sort of thing. | ||
All undercover, all armed, all heading towards the Capitol to participate in this riot. | ||
That, in and of itself, shatters the idea that there were no undercover officers, but that's really just the beginning. | ||
Clip 21 is censored, right? | ||
Because... Boy, do these people have dirty mouths. | ||
Let's go to that now. | ||
This is January 6th, Metropolitan Police Department, just sort of behind the front lines where the original conflict began on the Capitol. | ||
And listen to the way they talk about what was going on at the time. | ||
They set us up | ||
You can actually see how the Metropolitan Police Department is furious, feeling like they got set up. - I'm hot, I'm hot, I'm hot. | ||
unidentified
|
Here, you need water? Now, here. | |
And again, this is just one of the many videos. | ||
But yeah, you were set up. | ||
The Trump people were set up. | ||
And I mean, there's just tons of videos. | ||
We just don't have time to get to all of them. | ||
But again, more will come out as this information gets... | ||
Let's go down to clip number 18. | ||
This is an FBI informant in the Capitol actually telling an officer that the Proud Boys were inside the Capitol helping the police. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's watch that. They got him to stand down. | |
Basically, a cop was about to fire on the crowd, and the Proud Boys de-escalated the situation and caused there to be less violence, less chaos than there would otherwise. | ||
The people who probably did that were thanked by... | ||
Spending God knows how long in prison. | ||
All of this was entrapment. | ||
It was organized. It was designed to be this way. | ||
Again, the evidence is overwhelming. | ||
It's not being paid attention to. | ||
It's not being discussed nearly as much as it should. | ||
But this isn't speculation. This isn't, oh, gee, things went wrong. | ||
Let's find somebody to blame it on. | ||
This is footage from the police body cams themselves showing the undercover officers, showing them actually inciting the crowd in many cases. | ||
Let's go ahead and go to clip number 22 here. | ||
This is a January 6th Metropolitan Police Department talking about more armed, unidentified, ununiformed, non-uniformed agitators in the crowd that are causing trouble, and these guys are mad. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's watch. No police identification on him at all. | |
Couldn't get to him because there were so many people. | ||
White male, dark hair. | ||
It looked like gray as black, maybe digital photography. | ||
They will have a wristband. | ||
Their guns will have a candy stripe on the barrel. | ||
I don't know the wristband color, but they'll have a wristband somewhere, okay? | ||
Come on, come on down. | ||
unidentified
|
What? | |
Let's go to the wristband. | ||
So again, you can't say it anymore. | ||
Like, you can never, ever say again that there were not undercover officers from outside the Capitol to inside the Capitol, the Capitol Police themselves discussing, you know, what identified them because they weren't wearing uniforms, they were undercover disguised as Trump supporters. | ||
All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
There's just, there's never enough time to cover all of the insanity going on on a daily basis. | ||
We're going to do our best. | ||
We're going to talk about what's happening with James O'Keefe right now. | ||
So this is a major story. | ||
And I don't think it... | ||
I mean... We're going to play some videos from his farewell speech to his staff, which, it's so funny. | ||
He's like, I'm not going to release this video. | ||
I'm filming it for internal release. | ||
He's talking to a room full of people whose entire career is taking footage that's supposed to be private and making it public. | ||
He knows it's going to be released, obviously, but... | ||
It's good that it was. And it really gives you the full story. | ||
And he provides receipts. | ||
I don't see any reason to doubt James O'Keefe, especially when he lays out the whole timeline of how he started 13 years ago, dead broke, struggling to get off the ground, being raided by the feds. | ||
I mean, this guy's a real info warrior, honestly, in the truest sense, a powerful general in this world war that we're waging of information. | ||
And yet he was ousted mere days after the biggest story that they've ever had. | ||
And he tells this narrative in his video. | ||
The video is 45 minutes long. | ||
I think it's worth a watch. | ||
Honestly, it's really fascinating and a really historical event that occurred. | ||
I mean, there's nothing... | ||
This isn't just like some little mix-up thing. | ||
It's like this is an information war and you're watching the tactics get played out. | ||
You're watching subversion being employed, bribery, blackmail. | ||
These things are happening behind the scenes. | ||
This is modern warfare. | ||
It just happens behind the scenes. | ||
It's a warfare of the mind, a warfare of lies versus the truth. | ||
It really is something fascinating to behold. | ||
And... I feel sorry for James O'Keefe with this having been done to him and we'll see where he goes next. | ||
Project Veritas is of course hemorrhaging followers as we speak. | ||
As of this morning, they were down something like 100,000 followers. | ||
I unfollowed them myself. | ||
I suggest you do so as well. | ||
Send a message that Project Veritas is not the thing we support James O'Keefe is. | ||
He created Project Veritas. And I just kept trying to imagine, like, what if InfoWars had a board of directors who tried to oust Alex Jones? | ||
Like, what a ridiculous joke that would be. | ||
What an absurd proposition. | ||
What are you talking about? | ||
There would be no reason to stay at Infowars if Alex Jones wasn't the head of it. | ||
It makes no sense. It's just, it's baffling. | ||
It's utterly, totally baffling. | ||
So we're going to show you some videos or some clips from this longer video. | ||
Again, we don't have time to go into the whole thing. | ||
But also, you can read between the lines. | ||
And if you watch the whole thing, you should come away with a very clear image of what went on behind the scenes. | ||
He gave little hints. He gave little asides that said more than the words themselves. | ||
So we'll start. I have some time stamps here. | ||
We'll start at about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. | ||
A little sly, little offhanded remark during the beginning of his speech that I think says a lot about the situation. | ||
Let's start at 3.30. One of you just told me the other day that you'd go work at Walmart at the night shift so that you could do this during the day. | ||
That's what one of you said to me. | ||
I believe you. | ||
Rather than sell out. | ||
In fact, I know this is true for... | ||
Many of you. And many more out there who wish to be part of this. | ||
It's true. I remember back in the beginning, 13 years ago. | ||
Yeah, I think that was... | ||
We could pull it out. | ||
I think that was telling. | ||
I think that was telling. You'd rather go work some dead-end job than sell out. | ||
None of you would sell... Well, many of you would never sell out. | ||
Hmm. Interesting. And he goes on to make a very explicit note as to what... | ||
We're going to skip now to 15 minutes and 25 seconds into the 45 minute speech. | ||
Where he really gets into the meat of the matter and the meat and potatoes of the meal here and talks about the actual outing of himself from the company immediately following the biggest story they've ever had by a factor, he says, of 5 or 10. | ||
Something like 50 million views on their Pfizer video followed up by that insane conflict video where he confronts the person that they'd caught and the guy freaks out and You know, breaks stuff and starts yelling, I'm just a liar! | ||
Like, just total bombshell. | ||
Just the, you know, yet another peak that Project Veritas reaches. | ||
Incredible stuff. Why would it be that mere days after this triumph, would the man who leads the company and founded the company and whose vision guides the company be ousted? | ||
Maybe it has something to do with that offhanded remark he just made about... | ||
Many of you not being able to be paid off combined with the target of that particular video. | ||
So let's go now to 15 minutes and 25 seconds and see what's changed in the Project Veritas world. | ||
That is the only thing that's changed in 13 years of me being who I am. | ||
And then suddenly An unusual emergency happened just a few days after that. | ||
unidentified
|
I think we have one more person here, if we could let him in. | |
So suddenly, an unusual... | ||
And I'm going to take you through this. | ||
I'm going to take you through what happened. | ||
Some of you don't know these things. | ||
Hello. We're talking about the story we broke. | ||
An unusual emergency happened on Thursday, February 2nd. | ||
That's a few days after the Pfizer story. | ||
I was informed by an officer of Project Veritas on the phone while en route to the airport that he would resign unless I stepped down as CEO. We've been having a conflict of visions, him and I, over fundraising. | ||
We have any fundraising here? I guess no one from fundraising is here, I don't know. | ||
Hmm, another little off-handed. | ||
Let's pause it right there. Another little off-handed remark, isn't it? | ||
Like, this is why it's good to watch the full 45-minute clip, because for a while I'd only seen little clips people had posted on Twitter. | ||
It was actually my dad sent me the full thing, and I thought, I'll just watch the full thing. | ||
And you get these little off-handed remarks. | ||
He knows nobody from fundraising is there. | ||
He's signaling to the rest of us, right? | ||
He's signaling to the rest of us, if you want to know who undermined me, if you want to know who betrayed me, it's people not in this room, right? | ||
Anybody from fundraising? Oh, no, it doesn't look like anybody from fundraising is here. | ||
Very subtle. Very subtle. | ||
It's great. It's nice. I hope, you know, James Keeps appreciates, you know, digging into this and, you know, figuring this stuff out. | ||
I kind of want to do for Project Veritas what I would like some people... | ||
To do for Infowars sometimes, right? | ||
Because there are certain things that... | ||
Legal matters that, you know, we really can't get into the nitty-gritty of who's doing what. | ||
It's, you know, because we're involved in it. | ||
And it would really be nice if other investigators out there would, like, pick up the torch and go, hey, I looked into who's doing what in this situation. | ||
Here's what I found out. | ||
So we're going to continue through the week of looking into who these people are and, you know, who might have inspired this and what changes in their lives may have come about recently. | ||
And maybe do the work that James O'Keefe and Project Veritas can't themselves do. | ||
I hope this is effective as what I intend it to be, which is supportive of James O'Keefe in particular and uncovering the subversive elements within his organization because, as you can see, he's not coming out there and saying, I was ousted because Pfizer bribed my board, but he's saying some people can't be paid off. | ||
Nobody from fundraising here. | ||
That's interesting. He's giving these little hints that you should dig into and think about and I think that's what he's doing. | ||
That's how I'm reading it. | ||
And so, you know, I hope what I'm doing now is sort of in line with what he's saying. | ||
So, again, the whole video's 45 minutes. | ||
That's just a little... Very little taste. | ||
And we could keep it running there. | ||
But again, it's these little offhanded remarks that he says that I think tell the much bigger story. | ||
And what I gleaned from it, my interpretation of what happened is Pfizer or other big organizations like Pfizer thought this is too much, right? | ||
Project Veritas was fine when nobody would share their information and they were busting CNN for being dishonest and the news just wouldn't cover it. | ||
I talked about going to the Project Veritas party at TPSA, and on the Uber ride home, I was like, have you ever heard of Project Veritas? | ||
They do this awesome thing. | ||
And the guy was like, oh, you mean like how Borat does? | ||
And I was like, kind of, I guess. | ||
I kind of like that, right? If there was media attention on this, if Project Veritas was celebrated like it should be, it would be a pop culture phenomenon. | ||
It would be amazing. It's such a cool thing. | ||
People going undercover and busting corporations and news outlets and politicians, being criminals, talking about it behind the scenes. | ||
I mean... We're good to go. | ||
So that's when they finally broke through the mainstream, and I think when the powers that be realized, okay, they're getting too powerful, time to shut this down. | ||
I think they used bribery. | ||
I think it was, if not Pfizer themselves, other corporations like that giving the board an offer they couldn't refuse. | ||
That was the message I got from it. | ||
By the way, the parties at Project Veritas threw that were part of the complaint, why they kicked out James O'Keefe, were incredibly powerful companies. | ||
Events for organizing the dissident sphere. | ||
They were the best, and now they're over because of this. | ||
unidentified
|
You're tuned in to The American Journal with your host, Harrison Smith. | |
Watch it live right now at band.video. | ||
Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
Second hour has begun. | ||
Again, I feel like I'm only being able to scratch the surface on a lot of these things because there's just so much to talk about. | ||
And I really don't feel like I can spend too much time on one thing without doing a disservice to the others. | ||
So I'm just trying to give you the juicy bits that you need. | ||
And so we're going to continue on that path, talking about the Great Reset. | ||
And one of the things that I've been following for the last couple of weeks, and we've been talking about a little bit, showing you a few videos, but really haven't done the full deep dive, is the migrant conflict in Europe that is reaching a boiling point in both Ireland and the UK as the sheer scale of the migrant crisis becomes untenable. | ||
And so I have a lot of videos from that, but I think I'll save it for later this week, so I want to bring somebody on who's involved in the protest to talk about it, since, again, I can see the videos, but I'm not there, and I don't have a full grasp of the totality of the situation. | ||
But essentially, there are... | ||
I mean, it's the same thing that's been going on for the last five years. | ||
Same thing that's going on here. | ||
Migrants of legal fighting age are fleeing countries that are not in war, and these people are not being persecuted for their beliefs or anything of the sort. | ||
They do not legitimately apply for asylum. | ||
They do not deserve asylum. | ||
They are not fleeing from something that would give them claims to asylum. | ||
So they are illegal immigrants, and they're crossing and then not just being allowed in, but actually given... | ||
Five-star hotel rooms, entire apartment buildings. | ||
There are people going hungry and homeless in the UK, but the people from Tanzania are being given five-star hotels and accommodations and cash every week. | ||
It's completely insane, and people are pushing back against this. | ||
And of course, the establishment is calling them racist and calling them Nazis and claiming that, you know, it's hate that fuels them, not the desire to live in a safe country that their parents grew up in. | ||
Totally absurd. So, I have tons of videos to show you, but I want to show you one in particular. | ||
This is a young man speaking up against the migrants at a town hall meeting in a church. | ||
Let's go to clip number 27. | ||
Here is that brave young man in the UK speaking up against migrants and being shouted down by the people running the discussion. | ||
unidentified
|
It's very telling that a lot of the conversation tonight seems to be around the hotel. | |
But let's not beat around the bush, okay? | ||
Everybody, I think, can agree with me that the biggest concern is everybody's welfare and safety. | ||
Now, don't take us for fools when you say that these people are refugees. | ||
We know they are illegal migrants. | ||
If these people were refugees, what are they fleeing from? | ||
It's very telling that we're never told what they are fleeing from. | ||
What wars are they fleeing from? | ||
What countries are they coming from? | ||
What are they fleeing? | ||
What persecution? We don't know. | ||
So we know that they're, by definition, illegal immigrants, which technically makes them criminals, and they should be treated as such. | ||
They shouldn't be put up in five-star hotels. | ||
They should be in cells, and they should be told they are not leaving Until they pay for their ticket back. | ||
So my question to you is, not where are you going to shift them to in a year's time. | ||
How are you going to remove them from the country? | ||
And don't give me an excuse that, oh, there's the UN refugee document that we signed or there's the European Court of Human Rights. | ||
We voted for Brexit. | ||
This is supposed to be a sovereign country. | ||
You could easily withdraw from any of those agreements, but you don't. | ||
Your party has failed. | ||
Time and time again. | ||
In 2010, David Cameron said he was going to get immigration down. | ||
How did that work out? | ||
We've got higher levels than Tony Blair. | ||
And it was his intention to flood this country with migrants on purpose. | ||
These people, not all of them, but some of them are going to go on to commit egregious crimes. | ||
Rape, theft, murder. | ||
And there was a reason why the other day there was that ruckus in Kirksby. | ||
And we all know why it was. | ||
Because a migrant was harassing a young girl. | ||
That is going to happen in Dunstable. | ||
It's going to happen in every single part of the country. | ||
You need to stop this now or you're going to have a serious problem on your hands. | ||
Thank you. Said nothing but the truth, said nothing but reality. | ||
Obviously, his main concern was the safety of the people in the neighborhoods where these migrants are coming. | ||
He's cheered by the people, shouted down by those in charge. | ||
Is anything more typical? All right, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
We have about 25 minutes before we welcome Matt Baker onto the program. | ||
Slave to Liberty. This is band.video channel. | ||
Talk about the protest that he'll be holding if he wakes up. | ||
I know it's very early for him. | ||
I asked him to come on at 930. | ||
He's like, you know that's 730 a.m. | ||
for me, right? I'm like, and he's like, it's fine. | ||
I got a lot of stuff to do. I'll wake up. | ||
I'll do it. So if he wants to wake up and come on and talk about it, then we'll be welcoming him on in 25 minutes. | ||
So I hate to give out the phone number and then not be able to go to calls. | ||
I will give out the phone number. | ||
We may be able to go to calls in this segment and the next, but I still have so much to talk about and a lot of videos to get to, so calls will be limited today, as we also will be welcoming Stella Morabito. | ||
She's the author of The Weaponization of Loneliness, and that will be a topic of discussion right now as well. | ||
But the number to dial, if you want to call in, really taking your comments about, like, what do you think about the James O'Keefe situation is really what I want to ask. | ||
The James O'Keefe situation and the Tucker Carlson releasing January 6th because I feel like I have maybe a little bit of a view of both of those that I'm pretty unequivocal Maybe this is popular. | ||
James O'Keefe is the dude that Project Veritas made the biggest mistake. | ||
I mean, they committed suicide by ousting him. | ||
I think that's pretty evident. | ||
But I've also heard people saying the whole thing was a grift that went too far, and so they had to shut it down. | ||
Other people saying that the board has good points about it. | ||
I don't buy that. I think it's pretty obvious that he's the dude. | ||
He's the one that was responsible for Project Veritas being a thing at all, let alone their immediate success in the immediate past. | ||
But, I don't know, maybe you have a different reading of it. | ||
So give us a call and let us know. | ||
Or if you think that it's outrageous that Tucker Carlson will be the one curating the release of the January 6th information, Give me a call about that as well. | ||
1-877-789-2539. | ||
1-877-789-2539. | ||
Now, I'm going to talk about just the real scale of the crate reset that we're entering into in the next segment. | ||
But in this one, I want to go to a video that Donald Trump released recently. | ||
You know, Trump really needs to be on Twitter. | ||
I really wish Trump would get back on Twitter. | ||
And I also wish, I guess there's a Twitter account called Trump War Room. | ||
But it's hard to find these concise videos where he lays out his new platforms. | ||
But they need to all be cataloged somewhere because every time he comes out with one, it's like a breath of fresh air. | ||
Whether it's the wanting to go to war with the cartels, treating them like a terrorist group, and using the U.S. military to secure our border. | ||
Going farther than he ever has before and is extremely appropriate and extremely good. | ||
His discussion of a digital bill of rights, pretty unprecedented, pretty much the thing that we should all be in favor of. | ||
Again, I'm not even getting into the whole DeSantis vs. | ||
Trump thing. It's just a Trump thing. | ||
It's just that Trump is the dude. | ||
Trump is the man. Trump is the leader of this movement, de facto. | ||
He is the general. He gives the orders. | ||
Like, that's just how it goes. | ||
And he's proven himself time and time again. | ||
Sometimes where he falls short, not 100% on everything he does. | ||
I am not a cult member of the cult of Trump. | ||
That being said, how can you disagree with his newest proposals? | ||
How can you think that what he's doing is anything other than exactly what he should have been doing the entire time? | ||
You'll see what I mean. Let's go to clip 26 here. | ||
No, I'm sorry. Well, that's another clip of Trump. | ||
We'll start with clip number 26 at least. | ||
Here's a speech that he gave. | ||
Talking about what he would do with the Ukraine war. | ||
Is it send a hundred billion more dollars? | ||
Is it continue to play nuclear brinksmanship with Vladimir Putin despite his organization being staffed by diversity hires who can't effectively withdraw from a third world country like Afghanistan, let alone go to war with a nuclear superpower? | ||
I mean, my God. No, of course not. | ||
His proposal is peace and that's what we need these days. | ||
Let's go. And again, you can't, you know, Ron DeSantis, sure, he's got the gators under control in Florida or whatever, but he's not the statesman Donald Trump is, and Donald Trump proves it yet again with this statement, clip number 26. | ||
unidentified
|
From the day I took over, but from the night I won, and I called two people. | |
You know who the two people are? | ||
Putin, right? | ||
You know who Putin is? And Zelensky. | ||
And I'd say, we're gonna meet. | ||
We're gonna meet. And I would... | ||
I guarantee I could work that out. | ||
I guarantee. I know exactly what I'd say, by the way. | ||
I know exactly. I tell one guy this, and I tell one guy that, and I say, you better make a deal. | ||
We would have a deal made in 24 hours. | ||
That's what we need. That's all we need. | ||
Donald Trump can save the world. | ||
Literally. And we need him to do so. | ||
I even see, like we talked about it before, but I haven't saw it, and I love Mark Dice. | ||
Mark Dice is like one of the top dudes out there. | ||
Rarely does he ever say anything that I even remotely disagree with. | ||
But even he was kind of like, he literally was like, Trump retweeting poorly sourced memes? | ||
That's not right. That's not good. | ||
It's like, dude... Do you remember 2016? | ||
This is why we love Trump. | ||
Because he retweets outrageous stuff. | ||
And he says outrageous stuff. And you've got the duality of Trump. | ||
You've got what we just saw, where he's like, we're gonna meet. | ||
We're gonna meet. I'm gonna put him in their place. | ||
It'll be great. Like, he's just like, he's just a troll. | ||
But in the object of peace. | ||
Because he knows that people are scared of him. | ||
And he's like, yo, they're scared of me? | ||
I'm gonna scare him into peace. I'm gonna scare him into backing down from insulting America. | ||
Yeah, we're going to have peace whether you like it or not, right? | ||
Awesome, off the cuff, off the handle, out of control, classic Trump, beautiful, love it. | ||
The flip side of that, he's also able to give very concise, very clear, very appropriate and good policy speeches, like one that he recently released where he announces that he would have the DOJ investigate the radical Marxist prosecutors in Chicago, LA, New York, San Francisco, and everywhere else that they have been embedded. | ||
And now fester like an open wound. | ||
So let's go to this video where we see the flip side of Trump, the controlled, statesmanlike presidential presentation of a much-needed and completely ignored policy that the Republicans should be campaigning on and should have been campaigning on for the last two years. | ||
Here's Donald Trump on how he would deal with the rising crime rates in America. | ||
We will go after the radical Marxist prosecutors who are abolishing cash bail, refusing to charge crimes, and surrendering our cities to violent criminals. | ||
They have surrendered like never before. | ||
I will direct the DOJ to open civil rights investigations into radical-left prosecutors' offices, such as those in Chicago, LA, and San Francisco, to determine whether they have illegally engaged in race-based enforcement of the law. | ||
I will also work with Congress to give the victims of their Marxist policies the right to sue local officials for harm and suffering, and it has been great that they have caused. | ||
If your small business is pillaged because shoplifting goes unpunished, if you're brutally attacked by a violent felon released without bail or bond, then you will be entitled to massive damages. | ||
Fourth, fifth, in cities where there has been a complete breakdown of law and order, where the fundamental right of our citizens are being intolerably violated, I will not hesitate to send in federal assets, including the National Guard, until safety is restored. | ||
Absolutely incredible. That's exactly what needs to happen, especially the part about suing people that let out criminals even though they have a rap sheet a mile long and should be in prison for some violent crime only to be released and kill somebody. | ||
That's that prosecutor's fault for doing that. | ||
They are basically accomplices in that crime and should be treated as such. | ||
That's the plan he's laying out. It's brilliant. | ||
It's necessary. It's 100% Trump, and I love it. | ||
Now let's go out to your calls. Sean in Florida, I know you have a lot of things you want to talk about, but we only have about a minute in this segment. | ||
unidentified
|
You have the floor. All right, I'll make it fast. | |
As far as the Texas situation, I can see both sides. | ||
I think it's okay as long as, as long as, as soon as they're done putting their stuff out, the entire library is then released to the public to allow us to put our eyes on it, secondarily, not curated. | ||
As far as Veritas, my opinion is probably the best thing that could have happened for that Pfizer story to get out is them multiply like Mugwai from the Gremlins to Beast now launching that story viral. my opinion is probably the best thing that could have Because now you got what was started by James O'Keefe, and you also have now James O'Keefe, who both are going to be promoting that story. | ||
So you got basically a double James O'Keefe. | ||
Interesting. | ||
So like an amoeba, they've split, and now they're two monsters to destroy the globalists. | ||
unidentified
|
All right, welcome back. | |
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
We've got a lot to cover. We'll be welcoming Matt Baker very shortly. | ||
We'll take your phone calls on... | ||
It looks like a lot of people want to talk about James O'Keefe, so that's what we'll be talking about momentarily. | ||
Again, I want to remind you that all these papers that we print out every day, it's a list of links that I then publish on my Substack, harrisonhillsmith.substack.com. | ||
It's totally free. You can sign up or just go there and see all of the links and follow along for yourself. | ||
Do more reading... Check out what I say. | ||
If I say something that sounds outrageous, go find the article and, you know, learn for yourself. | ||
That I'm telling the truth. Also posted there, if you sign up as a paying member, you get access to my video list, which the last couple days have had over 60 videos in it. | ||
And today I actually did it to where everybody can see you don't have to be a paying member. | ||
So if you want to go to my sub stack and see all the videos there, again, there are like over 60 of them. | ||
I've played as many as possible today, but I've probably only played about 10 to 12. | ||
And there is... Yeah, 50 of them I haven't been able to get to, and it's just because that's every day. | ||
Every day there's that much news to get to, and we do our best. | ||
Really, no filler on this show. | ||
No filler on any of the shows on Infowars. | ||
No filler. No filter. | ||
Just the truth in rapid-fire succession. | ||
Now, we are going to go out to your phone calls. | ||
Let me just cover a couple of these stories. | ||
Kavanaugh rape accuser Because the mainstream media was not very interested in this story for obvious reasons. | ||
Likely you didn't see it when it broke. | ||
For this reason, we're posting it again. | ||
I hope everybody remembers how insane the left got when Brett Kavanaugh was accused of rape and he had to be humiliated in front of the entire nation and provide evidence of where he was 50 years ago or something like that. | ||
These people storming the Supreme Court trying to knock it down. | ||
You idiots. You absolute morons. | ||
Does it ever get through to you that everything you believe is a lie? | ||
Is that ever going to bust through the facade of controlled thought that surrounds your brain like a moat? | ||
Is it ever going to get through to you people that everything you believe is a lie? | ||
They have you out there screaming and hollering and trying to tear down the doors of the Supreme Court based on a lie. | ||
The Russia collusion nonsense, a total lie, proven beyond a reasonable doubt, January 6th, a total and complete lie. | ||
The Brett Kavanaugh accuser, a total and complete lie. | ||
How many times does this have to happen to you absolute morons before you understand to maybe, just maybe, have a semblance of scrutiny and suspicion? | ||
Before you go hauling off and being a puppet for people that treat you like you are. | ||
Total gullible idiots. | ||
I mean, it's shameful, honestly. | ||
You all should be ashamed of yourselves for falling for this crap over and over and over again. | ||
My God. It's just insane, but... | ||
Yesterday, this was five days ago, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley made a third criminal referral. | ||
This went against the second Kavanaugh accuser, Judy Monroe-Lighton. | ||
Grassley's letter of referral to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Christopher Wray. | ||
And again, yes, the people that did this, the people that tried to stop a Supreme Court appointee by fabricating a lie and sending the entire country into a downward spiral of conflict and hatred and... | ||
Just a show trial this guy had to be subjected to. | ||
Yeah, they should all be in prison for this, obviously. | ||
Just absolute idiots. | ||
It just goes on and on. | ||
So the lawsuit that we thought was dead has been resurrected at this point. | ||
And while my hopes are not really much higher than they were before, this is at least another chance to perhaps have some justice for our stolen election. | ||
Really, the question is whether the Supreme Court has a full view and understanding of exactly what's happening in this country and whether they understand the important role they occupy, the important positions they occupy. | ||
In the history of the planet as to whether to cast that vote to save the country or damn the country to the completely corrupt, totally controlled, unelected, bureaucratic domination that we currently exist under. | ||
It's really up to the Supreme Court as to whether they feel like the situation is dire enough to justify their stepping in. | ||
Meanwhile, you've got stories like this. | ||
Met police, this is in the UK, accepting functionally illiterate applicants in a bid to meet diversity targets. | ||
They're hiring police officers who cannot read in English. | ||
And cannot speak English. | ||
Specifically to fulfill totally arbitrary hiring quotas based on race. | ||
Completely insane. | ||
But once again, we're reminded that diversity is our strength, which is why we're lowering standards across the board. | ||
Wait a second. Wait a second. | ||
That doesn't make any sense. New data reveals nationwide desire for lower immigration. | ||
You can look at this map of the U.K., Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland. | ||
The parts in green, if we can scroll down and just zoom in on this map. | ||
The parts in green are where the majority says immigration levels are too high. | ||
For our radio listeners, the entire map is green. | ||
There's not one part of the map that is not green. | ||
Everywhere in England, down to the minute counties... | ||
All are against increased immigration and yet they're doing it anyway. | ||
This is the democracy that we have to go to nuclear war to save. | ||
It's not democracy. It is the opposite of democracy. | ||
Nobody wants it. They get it anyway because the orders aren't coming from the people. | ||
It's coming from the self-appointed people. | ||
Well, it occurs to me that, | ||
unidentified
|
you know, Project Veritas is back on Twitter recently, and maybe that had something to do with the move because they felt like it's overwhelming You know, the information to get out when he's got that media to use, media might say, of Project Veritas. | |
So I'm thinking maybe that had something to do with the reaction to oust him and stop him. | ||
I don't think I understand. | ||
How would them being back on Twitter affect the decision to remove O'Keefe? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, so many more people use Twitter, so he's got a broader reach. | |
Oh, I see. He could be censored. | ||
While he was censored, he was allowed to be effective, but now that he's got a wider platform, powers that be decided he couldn't continue his operation. | ||
That makes some sense, too. | ||
I hadn't thought about that. That's another interesting sort of... | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, they exploit his impact in the future, like, oh my gosh, we better nip this in the bud. | |
Very interesting. I had not thought about that, and that's a very good point. | ||
Thank you for that, Thief. | ||
Let's go to Bart in Georgia. | ||
Another comment about the O'Keefe ousting. | ||
Go ahead, Bart, you're on the air. Yeah, sir. | ||
unidentified
|
What I don't understand is James O'Keefe is the founder of Project Veritas, yet he put himself in the position where there's a board that can remove him. | |
That's like Alice Jones giving all you the power... | ||
Even the janitor to fire Alex Jones, I just don't get it. | ||
I know. It's business nonsense. | ||
You're right. It does make sense on service. | ||
The thing is, though, because it operates as a charity, they have to have a board. | ||
They have to have certain things like that. | ||
And if you have to have a board, the members on that board have to have certain powers, one of which is the ability to remove the CEO. So you're right. | ||
It is a bureaucratic machination that they pulled there. | ||
But it's necessary for him to maintain his... | ||
We're at the Project Veritas position as a charity. | ||
All right, welcome back. Ladies and gentlemen, halfway through the program today, we're about to welcome Matt Baker to talk about his protest against Pfizer coming up tomorrow. | ||
Before I do that, I got two things I got to do. | ||
First, I got totally called out on Twitter. | ||
One of our guests and one of my favorite content creators is ActualJusticeWarrior. | ||
I am Sean90 on Twitter. | ||
And I totally stole his bit where every time he talks about January 6th, he goes, where were you? | ||
Where were you on January 6th? | ||
And then he tells the whole story about how he was trying to buy a used car and they were trying to sell him it even though it had frame damage. | ||
And it's a very funny bit. | ||
And I was totally thinking about that when I was joking about where were you on January 6th? | ||
Do you remember where you were? | ||
And I got called out on Twitter. | ||
So shout out to Sean Fitzgerald of Actual Justice Warrior. | ||
I totally stole your bit because it's hilarious and it won't be the last time. | ||
Secondly, I do want to ask you to go to InfowarStore.com. | ||
As you know, we have led the way in the charge against the New World Order and their biotechnocratic enslavement that they're bringing about the whole planet. | ||
And we only exist to fight back against them. | ||
And, of course, we've had massive success. | ||
We have redefined the discussion. | ||
When you go to somewhere like TPSA now, they don't talk about lowering prices or small government. | ||
They talk about defeating the New World Order and the globalists and the World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab. | ||
That's the discussion on the conservative side of things, especially the younger side. | ||
That's because of Infowars. | ||
And that's because of you going to InfowarsStore.com, supporting us, giving us the funds that we need to prosecute this war for humanity against the globalists in the information sphere. | ||
So you have already had incredible success. | ||
You have already brought us to the heights of real metaphysical power in this world. | ||
And we will only get stronger with your support. | ||
Go now to Infowarsstore.com. | ||
And we make it easy for you to do because we give you fantastic products such as the prebiotic fiber. | ||
Rather, it's back in 40% off. | ||
The U.S. FDA recommends adults get at least 25 grams of fiber per day. | ||
But it can be hard to... | ||
Fulfill that requirement, but we make it easy for you to do it with prebiotic fiber. | ||
It's our most advanced formula yet, 40% off organic acacia fiber, organic fruit, apple fruit fiber, organic flaxseed, organic blueberry fruit fiber, organic cranberry fruit fiber. | ||
I mean, this is getting all of the good stuff in one delicious powder that you can add to water or your smoothie and get all the fiber you need. | ||
It's InfoWars prebiotic fiber on sale right now at InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
All right, I'm sort of stumbling over my words here because I'm so eager to get to our guest, Matt Baker. | ||
You know him well. | ||
He is the activist behind Slave to Liberty Channel on band.video. | ||
And he's with us today to talk about a rally coming up tomorrow, how you can support it and how you can be there if you're in the area. | ||
I hope this is as big as possible. | ||
We've seen massive rallies in New York recently. | ||
These need to be in really every major city. | ||
But let's start on the coast and move our way inward. | ||
Thank you so much for joining us. | ||
unidentified
|
Matt Baker. Harrison, what's up, brother? | |
How you doing? Good seeing you. | ||
Good morning. Thanks so much for waking up early. | ||
I know it's bright. You got your info wars. | ||
You are the sheepdog. | ||
You know that? You are the sheepdog. | ||
You know, if I ran into you on the street, you might look a little mean. | ||
You might be shouting. | ||
You might frighten me. | ||
But you're using your power for the force of good to protect the innocent, ignorant people out there that are being subjected to this attack. | ||
Tell us what's coming up tomorrow, Matt. | ||
Alright, well just to get it started, in case you haven't figured it out yet, after the James O'Keefe situation and I go bullhorn, local Pfizer, Donna and Alex Jones, we set up, we're having a protest here in San Diego. | ||
If you're in San Diego, LA, Orange County, anywhere near this area, You should come and support our rally for humanity and against the satanic bastards that are mutating viruses in these little labs, okay? | ||
If you've seen that video that I put out, they've got the little weird creepy labs there, and they're actually doing work on vaccines, which means they're playing with viruses in those labs in San Diego. | ||
You think San Diego. | ||
You think burritos. You think girls in bikinis. | ||
Meanwhile, there's like a Wuhan lab type situation right here in San Diego. | ||
And so it's very important that everybody shows up. | ||
Now, I want this thing to be as big as possible. | ||
I've tried to cross the bridge with a bunch of local patriot groups. | ||
Sometimes they want to do one thing and another thing. | ||
I'm like saying, come on, guys, everybody come on. | ||
Now, regardless of how big it is, if you want to meet the people and the patriots and the movers and the shakers that are in the area, the people that will show up and that are on the ground and do have boots on the ground and are maybe connected to Infowars, you've got to show up, you've got to get out there, bring your cameras, take some footage, put it on your social media, because this is, we want to make this into a fractal where we're building, it's not just the protest, it's the video of the protest, it's the retweets of the protest. | ||
These things now, the beauty of what we do is we can magnify these things. | ||
Like, I don't know if it was me who got them going in New York, but I was on air with Alex two weeks ago or something now. | ||
We're saying, we've got to get these rallies going. | ||
Why aren't they everywhere? And then, boom, now there's one in New York, and there was one in Pittsburgh, I believe. | ||
And so if there's a Pfizer near you, like they say, don't wait for orders from headquarters. | ||
Like, go to the Sound of Fire. | ||
So if you see a Pfizer sign... | ||
Break out a camera and start protesting right there. | ||
Bullhorn it, get some friends together, get some signs going, and do your thing. | ||
unidentified
|
A lot of people are like, what do you think is going to happen? | |
I'm like, oh, well, I'm sure that once I show up, they're just going to shut down Pfizer, and that's going to be it. | ||
It's like, no, dude. | ||
unidentified
|
I told my friend, he's like, oh, you know, what's going to happen? | |
I'm like, well, a lot of people don't even know. | ||
This guy's in the movement, actually. | ||
unidentified
|
I shouldn't do that voice for him. | |
He does not talk that way. | ||
But I'm like, dude, a lot of people don't even know these labs are in San Diego. | ||
And then he's like, well, I didn't know they're in San Diego. | ||
Actually, he was like, well, I did not know that. | ||
And then I go, well, see, I've already made a difference. | ||
So now we can expand that and we can set the brush fires of freedom in the minds of men. | ||
I actually have a beautiful metaphor for that. | ||
I love doing my metaphors. | ||
This is my new gig because people like my metaphors. | ||
Everyone's heard the Samuel Adams bit about, it does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen on setting brush fires in the hearts of men. | ||
The analogy with that I have is what goes on in the world is we are out there. | ||
We are lighting fires. | ||
You ever see people and they're like – they're survival and they're trying to light this fire in the woods. | ||
But the kindling is just too moist. | ||
And so they'll get it going. | ||
They'll go – and then it kind of goes and then it goes out. | ||
And then they go again. It kind of goes and it goes out. | ||
Now, if they keep doing this long enough, the overall warmth of the thing will dry the kindling out and they may actually get a fire. | ||
So what we're doing is we've got to remember to keep shining our light on the kindling, being the other human beings around us. | ||
Shining the light on the kindling of all the problems and all of the flaws and all of the bad PR that Pfizer is getting and focus that energy and dry that kindling so eventually when we light that match, we actually get a legitimate brush fire. | ||
Absolutely. In the Civil War, there were going around. | ||
There were lighting brush fires, but it wasn't popping off into a full-blown revolution. | ||
I'm not necessarily speaking of a physical revolution here, maybe a revolution of the mind, but one way or another, you'll have a few people gathered together and be like, yeah, we know this is all wrong, and then you'll go to your friend's house and they're like, what are you talking about? | ||
You're an idiot. But then now you go back And you'll see, they're like, yeah, you're right, man. | ||
I shouldn't have taken it. So now they're another piece of kindling in our brush fire. | ||
And that is the analogy I want you to have. | ||
So every piece of kindling you can dry out, every piece of light you can shine is something you need to do. | ||
And so come out and help me light those fires, baby. | ||
Absolutely. It's exactly right. | ||
It's a great metaphor. | ||
It's exactly what needs to happen. And again, you know, we're... | ||
You know, the theme of an echo chamber or a bubble, like, it's true to a certain extent, and we are, like, it's just so obvious to us, and there's so many people that agree with us, that can maybe blind us to the fact that the average person out there on the street maybe has no idea this is going on. | ||
They never saw the Project Veritas video. | ||
They never heard of, you know, Pfizer doing this. | ||
They don't even know that the reason their heart hurts is because of the vaccine. | ||
And so it's like, those are the people that you can't just give up on. | ||
You gotta dry out the kindling. | ||
I think that's a beautiful metaphor. | ||
We also have to build on progress. | ||
You know, we have victories. | ||
This is the problem on our side. We have a victory, and then we all sit back and enjoy the victory. | ||
The victory of Project Veritas, exposing Pfizer's gain of function, should be the impetus to a greater movement. | ||
It should be something that we build on and keep that progress and that energy going. | ||
The Rally for Humanity, it's tomorrow, Wednesday, February 22nd, 10555 Science Center Drive in San Diego. | ||
We'll be back on the other side with Matt Baker. | ||
He's an arsonist. | ||
He's an arsonist of liberty, an arsonist of the mind, of the heart. | ||
We'll be right back, folks. | ||
unidentified
|
How you get so much fun? | |
Ladies and gentlemen, if you are in the San Diego area, if you love freedom, if you despise the biotechnocratic corporatocracy that is currently demanding that you take their unapproved and untested experimental inoculations, I've got a job for you. | ||
This is the trumpet call. | ||
This is the call to arms in a purely symbolic way. | ||
Information arms. You have a place to be. | ||
Tomorrow, February 22nd, Wednesday, you've got to be with Matt Baker protesting Pfizer. | ||
At 10555 Science Center Drive, 11 a.m. | ||
to 2 p.m., protesting Pfizer going straight to the heart of the beast. | ||
And again, I'm not being facetious about the peaceful intent of this protest because the one thing that would discredit this protest is some psycho weirdos coming in and causing trouble. | ||
It's not about causing trouble. It's about spreading information, spreading the truth, spreading love, and stopping these tyrants from imposing their medical tyranny. | ||
And... Matt, you've got to be like one of the hardest working dudes in the liberty movement I've ever heard of, seen, met. | ||
At 7.30 or so last night, you called me. | ||
You'd just done a podcast with Sam Tripoli. | ||
You're like, I'm on my way here to meet with this group. | ||
Then I got to go meet this group. Then I got to get home and finish up these signs because I'm working on some signs that are going to be really great for the protest tomorrow. | ||
I mean, you are firing on all cylinders. | ||
How do you keep it up, man? | ||
I don't know, man. I was going to say the same thing about you, but it's, you know, it's CM4W's coffee. | ||
Obviously, it doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt at all. | ||
I actually got this from the studio when I was there last time. | ||
Actually, well, Frank Cavanaugh got it. | ||
I got to say, I feel the same way about you guys, you know, because honestly, you take on the mantle and then it's like you feel it's literally slave to liberty, you know? | ||
It's like once you get hooked into it, it's like you can't stop fighting And when I think about you guys having to prepare for shows, like I was just tuning in this morning, listening, and it's like, last time I tuned out for one day, the next day it was the balloon thing, and I'm like, oh, It's coming at me like so hard. | ||
And then this morning it was the freaking J6 thing and then it's the new James O'Keefe video. | ||
It never stops, man. | ||
It never stops. You gotta do it and you gotta do the three hours every day. | ||
I mean, that is honestly, you know, you guys. | ||
It's... I can at least every once in a while take a day off. | ||
You guys crush it constantly, 24 hours. | ||
I mean, it's just amazing what you guys do, to be honest. | ||
Well, you know, it's... | ||
Honestly, I feel like what I do is easy compared to what you do out there on the street, you know, putting yourself out there. | ||
And I really... But it's not hard, though, is it? | ||
Because it's... | ||
It's inspired. It's invigorating. | ||
Like, I never wake up going, oh God, I gotta do a show day. | ||
I wake up like, okay, balloons, and then I gotta talk about this, and I better be able to talk about that. | ||
I gotta download those videos. Like, there's so much to do. | ||
There's so much to cover. | ||
There's so much to protest and speak up against. | ||
You've gotta have that fire in your belly, and if you don't have it, You gotta foster it. | ||
Maybe that's the thing. You're talking about starting Brush Fires of Liberty. | ||
You gotta start it in your own heart first, and then you can spread it to everybody else. | ||
I hope people around you in the San Diego area can just spare a lunch break to come and protest with you at Pfizer. | ||
I really want this to be a big success, and the more people that are there, the more successful it'll be. | ||
You talk about it's not just the protest, it's the video of the protest. | ||
But embedded in that is the information in the video. | ||
I know with that bullhorn, you're not just saying nonsense. | ||
You're giving facts. You're giving figures. | ||
If somebody's out there in San Diego, if you have a printer, just start printing out flyers, man. | ||
Start handing them out on the street at this protest. | ||
Get the information out there. | ||
That's the spark that lights these fires. | ||
unidentified
|
Am I right? Of course you are, Harrison. | |
You're always right. I even think you're right when you start talking about Trump. | ||
I'm like, I'm over Trump. And then I listen in, I'm like, you know, Harrison's got a point. | ||
You need to be on their team, man. | ||
unidentified
|
You've got the best stick on Team Trump. | |
All right, stop complimenting me, Matt. | ||
I want to talk about your protest. | ||
unidentified
|
I want to talk about you. All right, let's go. | |
So if you need one other reason to come out there, the beautiful, the amazing, Alison Steinberg will be there from OAN.com. | ||
And she will be filming for the event and doing interviews with people. | ||
A lot of people I was talking to last night, this Patriot Meetup, they all had their points. | ||
They're like, well, we should say this, or we should say that. | ||
And they wanted to have this united front of exactly what we were saying. | ||
I'm like, no, that's your job. | ||
You bring your sign that says whatever you think. | ||
If you don't think viruses exist and it's a bioweapon, that's your gig. | ||
If you think Pfizer is funded by Nazis, that's your gig. | ||
I'm not going to stop you from doing that. | ||
I really don't necessarily want it to be a partisan thing, so I'd rather not have a bunch of Trump stuff. | ||
I think this is more about humanity. | ||
But whatever you want to do, you can do it. | ||
Like I said, the beautiful, the amazing, Alison Steinberg from OAN, so it's going to be on OAN, and we're going to be taking footage too, so I can guarantee you, after the fact, we will be posting, I will be editing together a compilation of interviews that I take with people and things like that, and you might get your little mug on InfoWars, your mug, your InfoWars mug, you know? | ||
Yes, it's mug recursion, mug upon mug. | ||
Yeah, and you know what? Now that you say that, like, I know people in California live in this world where they are constantly having to keep their mouth shut. | ||
I'm sure you're constantly bombarded with propaganda. | ||
Maybe you can carve out a little area of free thinkers that you can enjoy, but most of the time you're probably... | ||
Like feeling like, oh my god, all of these people around me, what is going on with them? | ||
When you go to this protest, I guarantee you, you're going to be surrounded by an energy that you may have forgotten existed. | ||
Every time I go to one of these protests, it's reinvigorating. | ||
Every time I go to one of these protests, it's like you feel the positive energy reverberating around you. | ||
And just for that alone, it'll be a good time. | ||
It'll just be fun and you'll meet good people and be able to like talk about things and know that everybody else is going to be on the same page as you or at least know what you're talking about. | ||
That alone, I think, is a great reason to go out there, show support, have fun, make friends, make connections, and be, at least for a brief time, in an atmosphere of love and truth and standing up for humanity rather than constantly being crushed. | ||
I know that's the vibe you give off, and I'm sure everybody around you is feeling the same way. | ||
Absolutely. Like I said, you know, instead of having an argument with somebody, you'll be like, hey, did you know Pfizer did this? | ||
And they'll be like, I know, they also did this. | ||
I start learning this. And it's not even just about that. | ||
It really is a nucleus of resistance because there actually is a large contingent of patriots in San Diego and in Southern California. | ||
And I was at one point, I was going up to LA to try and get involved until I realized there was a local San Diego group here near me. | ||
And then just knowing they're around and knowing that I can call them and say, hey, can you come down to this? | ||
It's really empowering. | ||
And so Not only is it about the Pfizer situation. | ||
This is the school boards. | ||
This is the drag queen. | ||
A lot of the people that are really focusing on these different areas Are going to be there. | ||
So you can meet up with the several factions of the different groups who will be going to the Drag Queen Storytimes, who will be going to the school boards, who will be going down to the Board of Supervisors. | ||
So you can find it's like just a little key that you can get in and open the door into the Patriot Movement in your local area. | ||
And you can take or leave how much ever you want. | ||
You can open the door and just get completely blasted by it. | ||
Or you can just go, okay, I just want to step in for a little bit and step out. | ||
It's all there for you. | ||
Come dry your kindling out. | ||
Come charge your patriot cells. | ||
unidentified
|
And let's go, baby! | |
Absolutely. And so, of course, people can find more information about this by going to your Twitter. | ||
It's at slave underscore, the number two, underscore liberty. | ||
Slave underscore to underscore Liberty on Twitter. | ||
Your Instagram is mattbaker underscore unhinged. | ||
That Instagram again is mattbaker underscore unhinged. | ||
And of course you have a bandad video channel that's called Slave to Liberty. | ||
You truly are a slave to liberty, which means you're free, which is a beautiful thing. | ||
And again, I just hope this is a massive success. | ||
And no, you're not going to end Pfizer tomorrow. | ||
You're not going to solve everything with one protest. | ||
But you are starting the fire. | ||
You are striking that kindling. | ||
You are igniting that spark that can flame out of control and consume this corrupt, globalist world that we're in with enough fuel and oxygen and kindling. | ||
What's happening here is really the beginning of something great. | ||
I know there's things like this across the country. | ||
The San Diego one I think should be one of the biggest because I know there are so many great patriots out there. | ||
But once you all combine with the New York people, once you combine with the Florida people, this is a nationwide movement of people standing up against somebody that even the leftists used to hate the pharmaceutical companies. | ||
Can you talk about that for a sec? | ||
Like this isn't a right or left wing thing. | ||
It's about standing up against these corrupt, some of the most evil, some of the most highly fined corporations of all time. | ||
They have destroyed lives countless times over the years. | ||
If you're not going to stand up against these people, who are you going to stand up against? | ||
Thank you. | ||
Well, I mean, the corporations really are the new dictatorships that are running the world, and they have, instead of their Nazi logos, they have their cute little Pfizer logos, you know what I mean? | ||
It's like, they are now above the law. | ||
Imagine having a business where you can't be sued, the government pays you to make the product, then the government forces people to buy it from you. | ||
I mean, I want in, you know? | ||
A lot of people don't know this. | ||
Everyone says I look like Alex Jones. | ||
I'm just gonna come clean, okay? | ||
I am Alex Jones' clone, okay? | ||
Alex Jones has been sent to Gitmo, and I have just been taking the hair and beard formula here to make sure that nobody knows who I am, okay? | ||
unidentified
|
To go incognito for a while, you want to try that hair and beard formula, get yourself some nice dreads, and you'll be back in the booth in no time. | |
Hair and beard formula, now available at InfoWarsStore.com. | ||
Matt Baker, thank you so much. | ||
Slave to Liberty on Bandit Video. | ||
We will be tuning in and with you in spirit tomorrow in San Diego protesting Pfizer. | ||
I hope everybody listening can be there as well. | ||

|
All right, welcome back ladies and gentlemen. | |
Can't believe it's already the third hour of today's program. | ||
Which means I'm very excited to welcome my guest, Stella Moravito. | ||
She's the author of Weaponization of Loneliness, How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer. | ||
which explains how dictators from the French Revolution to the Communist Party of China to today's globalists aim to atomize us in order to control us. | ||
She's been a senior contributor to The Federalist since 2014, where she's published numerous articles that focus on the social fallout of propaganda, mob psychology, and the cult mindset. | ||
Her essays have appeared in various other publications, including The Washington Examiner, American Greatness, Public Discourse, Town Hall, and The Human Life Review. | ||
Stella served for a decade as an analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency, where she focused on communist media propaganda and disinformation. | ||
Her Twitter is at Stella underscore Morabito, and her website is also StellaMorabito.net. | ||
And you can find the book, again, The Weaponization of Loneliness, How Tyrants Stoke Our Fears of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer on Amazon. | ||
Thank you so much for joining us, Stella. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Well, thank you for having me, Harrison. | ||
Well, it's my pleasure. And just immediately from reading the title of this book, it's obvious that we're on the same page, that you get what's going on here. | ||
So I'm excited to really dig into how this actually works. | ||
Just tell us, why was this the focus of your book? | ||
Why did you think this was important enough to write an entire book about the loneliness epidemic and how it's being used? | ||
Well, I guess because I believe that the common denominator behind so many of the destructive agendas that we see today, whether it happens in education or medicine or on the world scene, is due in large part, and I believe primarily, To the very human impulse to self-censor. | ||
When they're afraid of being ostracized for saying something politically correct, if people keep doing that, if enough people keep doing that, you end up giving oxygen to all of those bad agendas and bad actors who push them. | ||
And so I just thought it was really important to discuss or to open up a big conversation about these very normal, very natural human impulses, because we are hardwired to connect with other people, which means we're also very fearful of being... | ||
You know, socially rejected. | ||
And so I just believe that people need to take a good hard look at this impulse and how it operates within us and how it affects society at large. | ||
Absolutely. And, you know, we know that this is what a lot of the people who are trying to move humanity in a certain way, that humanity maybe doesn't want to go in either. | ||
They understand this. They're using this as a tactic, quite explicitly in some cases. | ||
And it's what they always do. | ||
They take really what is a good thing, that we love each other, that we are empathetic, that we want to be loved by other people, that we want to be a part of a community. | ||
They take that impulse and they weaponize it and they really turn it on its head in a lot of ways, don't they? | ||
Absolutely. And this should tell you everything you need to know about why political censorship is such a number one priority for them. | ||
They just can't have us talking openly to one another about what's in our hearts, about what we see happening, sharing our perspectives. | ||
You know, I often cite Hannah Arendt, who was the 20th century political philosopher who wrote that epic book called The Origins of Totalitarianism. | ||
And in it, she makes quite clear. | ||
I mean, she doesn't go into great detail, but she makes very clear that isolation is an absolute prerequisite for tyranny. | ||
Because when people are connected and they have strong and healthy families and communities and faith, they gain a lot of strength from that. | ||
And you have to disempower them by creating a lot of isolation, atomizing people and having them fearful of expressing what they really believe, even one on one. | ||
To, you know, to a neighbor or a friend or, you know, or anything. | ||
Absolutely. Anyone. Absolutely. | ||
Oh my gosh. We have so much to talk about. | ||
We're going to get into all this. | ||
We're going to take this in a million different directions. | ||
And I know we're going to learn a lot from Stella Moravito. | ||
StellaMoravito.net is the website. | ||
You can buy the book on Amazon, The Weaponization of Loneliness. | ||
More on the other side. | ||
Don't go anywhere, folks. It's the American Journal. | ||
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
I am Harrison Smith, your host. | ||
You're watching American Journal. My guest is Stella Morabito. | ||
She is the author of Weaponization of Loneliness, How Tyrants Stoke Our Fears of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer. | ||
So many ways to go with this. | ||
Obviously, fear is the number one weapon. | ||
But there's something that I've noticed a lot, and I wonder if you can shed some light on this, that there's almost nothing unique about the techniques that are used on huge populations. | ||
There's no difference to those techniques to techniques that are used on a cult level with just a few followers to even... | ||
What's done in abusive relationships, how maybe a husband will separate his wife from her friends in order to keep her under a way of control. | ||
I mean, these are very basic things that just sort of get extrapolated out the wider the population. | ||
Am I right about that? | ||
What's the science behind that? | ||
Oh, absolutely, Harrison. | ||
And that last example you cited is classic. | ||
A lot of people... | ||
I cite the old film, which is based on a play called Gaslight. | ||
And it was about that one-on-one relationship where the one partner is separated, isolated, made to feel that she or he in some cases is crazy for expressing what they see before their very eyes. | ||
And to keep them isolated in order to keep that sense of, you know, Am I crazy going? | ||
And so, of course, this plays out on the playground. | ||
It plays out in toxic boss relationships. | ||
It plays out in dangerous cults like in Jonestown. | ||
And, of course, it plays out on the world stage among world-class dictators. | ||
So isolation is always key to control. | ||
We know this from Stockholm Syndrome. | ||
The captive bonds with the captor. | ||
And why does the captor do this? | ||
It makes the captive, or in the case of whole populations, dependent upon the captor. | ||
So, yes, you're exactly right. | ||
This plays out in many different ways and throughout time. | ||
In one of my chapters, I explore modern history, starting basically with the French Revolution, where I discuss how this machinery, I call it the machinery of loneliness, operates to keep populations under control. | ||
And, you know, there are three basic components to that machinery. | ||
There's a lot of different buttons and bells and whistles, but the three basic components as I see it now and as existed back then, though they didn't use the words, Identity politics, political correctness, and mob agitation. | ||
And political correctness, of course, is to make us shut up or censor ourselves about what we see before us or what we think. | ||
And identity politics is meant to divide us so that we can't really see one another as individual human beings who are unique. | ||
And then, of course, mob agitation. | ||
The mob is brought in to enforce it all. | ||
And, of course, a mob can take many different forms. | ||
It could be a street mob, which you saw from the French Revolution on to 2020, or even today, the Antifa running riot in the streets. | ||
But it could also be an HR department pushing their wokeness and threatening to fire anyone who's seen Or heard or believed to be politically incorrect or could be a swarm of trolls on social media. | ||
Mobs take many different forms. | ||
So that is how populations have been controlled. | ||
You know, probably from time immemorial, but specifically in modern history. | ||
And of course, today, you know, you compare the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution, or Mao's Cultural Revolution, they didn't have all of these tools of social media. | ||
They didn't have the tools of the internet where they could go global with it all. | ||
And also, The reach is also within each human being because of the addictions to screens and virtual reality and all of that. | ||
Then, of course, what's also different today from those previous utopian revolutions is that we're dealing with what I call a hydra-headed beast, not just a dictator like a Lenin or a Mao. | ||
We've got the corporate world, CEOs involved in this. | ||
We've got big tech, big media, government officials. | ||
It's coming from so many different angles. | ||
I believe the common thread, the common denominator, is self-censorship, which leads to top-down censorship. | ||
So I just think it's really important for people to start speaking up, even just one-on-one, about what they see and what they believe in order to turn this around. | ||
Yeah, absolutely. | ||
And especially with social media and the Internet, as you mentioned, it was really an opportunity to break out of that mold, for everybody to have their voice heard. | ||
And I think the powers that be sort of recognized how dangerous that was for them and went to shut it down. | ||
You know, I know one major effect of Infowars being kicked off of all these platforms is you don't get that sense of fulfillment when you see, Thousands of people commenting on YouTube or watching on YouTube and going, okay, yes, I'm not alone in this. | ||
I've got all these other people at my back. | ||
We all understand what's going on. | ||
If they cut you off from that audience, if they cut you off from that feedback, you feel a lot more alone. | ||
And I really think they took that into account when deciding who to ban and who to get rid of to create the illusion of loneliness, that you're alone, that you're losing, that nobody agrees with you. | ||
I mean, they can do that. You know, through this censorship, and it was really a response to the potentiality of the internet breaking us out of this paradigm. | ||
Oh, no question about it. | ||
No question about it. | ||
Yeah. Censorship, again, is the number one top priority For tyrants, totalitarians, because allowing people to have real conversations about real-life things in real time gets in the way of any kind of social engineering or social control agenda. | ||
And so that's the key for them, is to shut us up, keep us isolated, atomized, Not even, you know, fearful of expressing what we believe, even to someone who is on friendly terms with us who maybe doesn't know what we believe, just on a one-on-one basis. | ||
And, you know, it's really important that we start doing that because there is so much that even just one person can do. | ||
You know, it should tell you everything you need to know. | ||
When you see censors or social engineers Not tolerating even one voice of dissent. | ||
That should tell you how powerful one voice is. | ||
Yeah, absolutely. And I noticed the cover of your book has Anthony Fauci on there, which I was going to ask you, you know, was this something that, you know, during the lockdown, you noticed like, oh, they're using this to, I mean, you know, they have all these soft ways of trying to separate you from people, but lockdown was, you're not allowed to leave your room. | ||
You can't meet other people. | ||
I mean, this was an overt attempt to impose loneliness on everybody, wasn't it? | ||
Absolutely, yeah. It was an actual enforcement of literal isolation, the likes of which we have never seen in America before. | ||
And it should be very telling as we look back on it. | ||
As we prepare to go into God knows what, they plan to keep everybody in line. | ||
But that's exactly right. | ||
Fauci, I do not... | ||
I think I mentioned Fauci maybe once in the book, but as the cover, I think he really does symbolize the weaponization of loneliness for our era because he directed so much of isolation in so many different forms. | ||
I mean, the literal isolation of, you know, house arrest. | ||
And especially how horrible that was for people who lived alone. | ||
And of course, the face coverings. | ||
You couldn't even smile at anybody. | ||
We couldn't really communicate even through body language or facial expressions anymore. | ||
It's really damaging for children, especially. | ||
100%. I mean, even just now, the mainstream media is starting to clue in to the huge damage that this has done across the board, especially to children. | ||
And it's not just Fauci on the cover, it's Fauci on a TV set, which I think is another layer of the manipulation where they want to be your only source of information, your only source of human connection, is through them and through the TV screen. | ||
It's in line with all the things you mentioned, the Communist Revolution, the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution. | ||
I mean, this is the same tactic. | ||
It's being done by our establishment. | ||
More on the other side, Stella Moravito, at Stella underscore Moravito on Twitter, and you can get the book on Amazon. | ||
We'll be right back. | ||
It's The Weaponization of Loneliness, How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer. | ||
It's classic. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
We know that the powers that be use all sorts of sophisticated operations, psychological operations, to keep people in a state of confusion, loneliness, dislocated from anything that's real or positive or empowering. | ||
And while I use the term sophisticated because it's very well-informed, it's a very intelligent approach that they use, but really at its base, it's simple. | ||
It's not that complicated. | ||
It's the same thing that, as we mentioned earlier, abusive spouses will do to their victims or cult leaders will do to their 15 followers in a basement of some church. | ||
It's the same tactic. | ||
It's a very simple lever that humans have that is good and necessary. | ||
The empathy that we have, the love that we have for other people. | ||
But during the break, you were talking about how not only did, you know, the Fauci style lockdowns of COVID keep people isolated. | ||
You actually said that it created a hostility in. | ||
It engendered or cultivated a hostility that's almost beyond just separation. | ||
It's a combativeness. | ||
Can you expand a little bit on that or tell people what you mean by the creation of this hostility that we all saw evidence of? | ||
Sure, yes. And COVID, or during all of these mandates, you know, they were presented as necessary really to keep us not only safe, but alive, you know? | ||
I mean, you know, if you remember those early days, this dangerous virus, the pandemic, even though it turned out to be nearly 100% recoverable for anybody who didn't have any serious health problems. | ||
So we were... | ||
It was a fear-mongering kind of agenda, it seemed, that caused people to be so fearful that they might die or they might get really, really sick from this virus. | ||
That anybody who wasn't following the mandates, who wasn't staying at least six feet away from them, or masked up, or following all of this stuff, or getting their injections and boosters and so on and so forth, would be considered uncaring, selfish. They were even calling children in school who didn't want to wear the masks selfish jerks. | ||
I mean, it got real nasty, and it still is, to a certain extent, about a lot of things. | ||
And you see this... | ||
This whole phenomenon, even just with people who, you know, left versus right, conservative versus liberal, so on and so forth. | ||
And it's the hostility, though, that was created—not created, I mean, you get this in all of these utopian revolutions—use that form of demonization. | ||
That's the undercurrent you see. | ||
In the machinery of loneliness, it's always demonization. | ||
Smear words like, you've heard them all, anti-vaxxer in the case of the COVID lockdowns, or bigot, hater, white supremacist, conspiracy theorist, this denier, that denier, this phobic, that phobic. All of those terms, and there are many, many more, are meant to trigger that fear. | ||
Trigger that fear of guilt by association or being viewed as someone who should be a social outcast, demonized, deplorable, and so on and so forth. | ||
And so you had these hostilities created during COVID where people wouldn't even allow family to come to Thanksgiving dinner without getting their injections or being tested and, you know, all that. | ||
And not being allowed to see their grandchildren and, you know, so on. | ||
Some people didn't come out of their apartments for, I don't know, months and months. | ||
It was unbelievable. | ||
How easily people were caught up in all of that. | ||
But the creation and cultivation of hostilities is key to keeping a totalitarian, tyrannical agenda, pushing it forward with the effects of mobs to shut people up, and so on and so forth. | ||
COVID should have given us a real wake-up call when it comes to those kind of phenomena and dynamics that are really meant to divide us, like identity politics, as I mentioned before. | ||
It's designed to divide us. | ||
It's designed to keep us from looking at one another as unique human beings with their own No, we're not allowed to see that. | ||
We're only allowed to see black, white, trans, all these different demographics and intersectionality, combinations of demographics. | ||
But we aren't allowed to see the whole person. | ||
And that's really destructive to civil society. | ||
Yeah, absolutely. And of course, it makes the tyrant's job that much easier when the subjects themselves will police each other. | ||
I mean, you know, that's the dream of the tyrants. | ||
They get to sit back and relax while their subjects all demand that each other conform. | ||
I mean, that's their ultimate goal, I would imagine. | ||
But, you know, how do we strike a balance? | ||
You know, obviously we don't want to be lonely, but if they're using the threat of isolation as a threat to keep us silent, how do we speak out but not be lonely? | ||
I mean, I feel like that's the big question a lot of us are asking. | ||
Because even I have that. I'll have friends that are talking about getting vaccinated, and I'll hold my tongue and go, I just, you know, I don't want these people not talking to me anymore. | ||
So maybe I'll say, like, well, I actually don't like the vax that much. | ||
But, you know, how do we strike that balance between speaking our mind, being unafraid of being alone, but not actually being lonely? | ||
How do we achieve that? | ||
Yeah, we do have our work cut out for us because we've already gone through decades of political correctness and self-censorship, and it's reached a point where it's not so easy to just kind of turn around. | ||
However, having said that, I'm optimistic that it really doesn't take that many people. | ||
It's really a strong minority of sincere and friendly voices can make a big difference when they're dealing with just this illusion of a majority viewpoint that's being recycled. | ||
It all has to begin—it's an asymmetric war now, right? | ||
The institutions are all corrupted, subverted—medicine, education, the courts, and so on and so forth. | ||
But Jacques Hillel, who was the premier voice—I mean, if you haven't read his book on propaganda, you're listeners out there—it's just called Propaganda, the Formation of Men's Attitudes. | ||
I believe it was published in the—I think it was the early 60s. | ||
He was a sociologist who has the most pithy statement. | ||
I mean, the book is very dense, but the best statement in there, the one I use as the epigraph, is— Propaganda ends where simple dialogue begins. | ||
And this is really the one-on-one discussions with people or even just quick little conversations with people who implicitly trust you. | ||
You know, people you might be on friendly terms with but who don't know where you stand. | ||
Most people zip it up because they're fearful of losing that friendship or that relationship or the potential. | ||
But Honestly, self-censorship doesn't really buy you the relief from ostracism people think it does. | ||
All it does is push you even farther into isolation. | ||
And I think most people, especially on a one-on-one level, crave real conversation. | ||
Now, they may be fearful of identifying with a viewpoint that in the media is considered only for kooks and so on. | ||
If we, if more and more people just really just kind of put their toe in the water and just said things like, oh, wow, you know, I'm on the other side when it comes to that issue. | ||
I know exactly what you're saying. | ||
We'll pick it up on the other side. | ||
I also can't wait to get into the identity politics where this is a key aspect of it. | ||
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
My guest is Stella Moravito. | ||
She is the author of Weaponization of Loneliness, How Tyrants Stoke Our Fears of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer. | ||
Really so much of what we talk about meets at this intersection of enforced loneliness, of social pressure from COVID-19 to even the Ukraine war. | ||
And drumming up support for that is an aspect of social pressure that's employed by people with, I don't think, our best interest in mind. | ||
We have so many places to go with this. | ||
you But I want to talk to you about identity politics. | ||
I know you've brought that up a few times. | ||
And we've seen, I mean, heck, Joe Biden during the campaign said, you know, if you don't vote for Joe Biden, you ain't black, right? | ||
There's this idea of you have to fit in this mold. | ||
And if you don't, you'll be rejected by your friends and your family and your community and your culture. | ||
So just don't even try it. | ||
Don't step out of line. I mean, it really is as basic as that, isn't it? | ||
I mean, what's the division of—or just how does identity politics play into this idea of enforced or manufactured loneliness that can then be exploited? | ||
Well, as I mentioned before, you know, it erases our— Our humanity, basically. | ||
It's a very dehumanizing agenda whereby people are divided according to these demographics, these kind of demographic groups. | ||
And, you know, that quote that you just gave of Biden is fascinating because he presented that to a black radio. | ||
What was his name? | ||
Was it Charlemagne, I think? | ||
Yeah, and so I often bring up that if you look at the Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington, D.C. that was just dedicated in 2011, you will not find his most iconic quote engraved among the 15 quotations from Martin Luther King. | ||
That most iconic quote that people be judged by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin, that is nowhere to be seen. | ||
And I think that's very telling about where all of this stuff is headed. | ||
We're not allowed to see people based on the content of their character, their individuality, and that's very divisive. | ||
We're only allowed to see them according to their demographic and whatever the narrative says about the oppressor-victim demographic. | ||
If you are considered white, and I put white in quotes because I think that term, whiteness and all of that, there's just been a really nasty push to associate whiteness with just I can go off on a hundred different tangents here, but it's really about Western civilization and civil society. | ||
It's about breaking down civil society under the guise of it being, quote, white. | ||
But it's very divisive, and it's meant to be To create these hostilities where no hostilities existed before. | ||
You can go back to the collectivization of agriculture in the 1930s during Stalin's reign of terror, and the peasants had mobs inciting them to hate one another. | ||
They were all like one big family, one big peasant family, before the Komsmal came in. | ||
And described, you know, there were the rich peasants, there were the, you know, the poor peasants, and then there were the, you know, the middle. | ||
And so they put the names of each one based on their class. | ||
They'd post that in the village and create these hostilities where nobody ever had them before. | ||
So it's the same—we're seeing the same pattern, the same pattern in identity politics. | ||
A hundred percent. | ||
And of course, I know exactly what you mean. | ||
I think our audience probably knows as well where they go, whiteness is evil. | ||
Also, whiteness is self-sufficiency and being prepared for things. | ||
And it's like, okay, that's what you're actually trying to destroy. | ||
You're actually trying to destroy the things that make us strong and independent. | ||
And you tack that on whiteness and tell white people you'll be ousted from this country if you support these things or this community. | ||
It's so obvious once you know how they do it, it's sort of frustrating that more people don't recognize it on its face for, as you point out, when you've got this old white guy Joe Biden telling a young black guy, you're not black, you don't vote. | ||
I mean, it's just, we reach levels of absurdity that are hard to comprehend. | ||
Exactly. Absurdity is correct. | ||
That says it all. | ||
Well, and I wanted to, because I had these stories for today that I was going to cover anyway, but I wanted to save them for you because I thought, you know, they sort of intersect with the loneliness idea. | ||
One's from The Guardian. It says, Elon Musk has put every lost young man on Twitter in the crosshairs of the far right. | ||
And this makes a similar point to this other article from today where it says, white supremacists recruit teens by making them feel someone cares. | ||
Okay. So here they're, you know, they're sort of driving certain demographics out of the conversation saying, you're a white man, you can't say anything. | ||
But now they're trying to stop white people from providing support for one another. | ||
I just thought this was sort of a weird inversion of the loneliness tactic where they're saying, don't have a group, don't go with that group. | ||
We want you to just be lonely. | ||
We're not going to give you a group, but also we don't want you joining that group. | ||
I mean, just how does this play into the weaponization of loneliness, do you think? | ||
Well, I think it's one of the main features of propagandists and propaganda. | ||
Projection. Psychological projection. | ||
Accusing others of exactly what your intentions are. | ||
And you see this throughout history whenever there's... | ||
You know, a tyrannical push. | ||
Genocidal groups always do that. | ||
You know, these people are dangerous to you, and they don't want you to see them as human beings. | ||
They don't want you to talk to them. | ||
What that is, is an effort to shut people up. | ||
You know, white supremacists are, you know... | ||
Love bombing is really what these people do. | ||
I mean, that's what cults do, to bring people in. | ||
And so they're accusing, you know, I don't know, whatever they call far right. | ||
You know, I can't keep track. | ||
Whatever term they've tagged on with. | ||
Yeah, another one of the demonization labels, as it turns out. | ||
But... It's psychological projection. | ||
Jacques Hillel talks about that a lot. | ||
He has very keen insights into how that's used by propagandists. | ||
And you're right, it gets things very confusing. | ||
And one of the most isolating features of today is how much content knowledge has been stolen from From generations, really, more than one generation of students in K-12 education as well as college. | ||
I mean, you see these man-on-the-street interviews. | ||
The kids don't even know that Japan's a country. | ||
They didn't even know there was a World War I. It's the level of ignorance of just the basic facts of our history, our cultural traditions, cultural memory. | ||
It's very unsettling. | ||
And so that is also isolating. | ||
And that can also be used to direct a population when you've trained a generation in ignorance. | ||
So the ignorance is isolating and all the family brokenness and brokenness of faith and faith communities and real communities, true communities. | ||
When you have generations who don't even have access to an intact family or haven't been just brought up in a lot of brokenness. | ||
And I'm talking relationship brokenness. | ||
I'm not talking... | ||
material poverty that the other side always goes off on. | ||
No, but what you're talking about is like the gang phenomenon where people from broken families are looking for a community and the only one available to them is a criminal one. | ||
I mean, it's a tragic reality that certain people benefit from and really the rest of us suffer from. | ||
And of course, actually Matt, my producer, was talking about this in the break that along with this, you get this self-sensory... | ||
Along with the self-censorship, you have things that people want to say, having to go underground and find their own little groups to discuss this, where you have this, you know, dis-separation from the rest of the community because you're trying to find people that won't lie to you and won't hate you for saying what you believe. | ||
And it's just hugely damaging in a number of different ways. | ||
We're going to get back into it. | ||
Final segment on the other side with Stella Moravito... | ||
The weaponization of loneliness is the book. | ||
You can find it on Amazon today. | ||
We'll be right back. Alright, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
My guest is Stella Morabito. | ||
She is the author of Weaponization of Loneliness, How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer. | ||
It's available now on Amazon. | ||
You can go to her website at StellaMorabito.net. | ||
Her Twitter is Stella underscore Morabito. | ||
And we could go down a rabbit hole here, and I don't want to necessarily spend too much time on this topic, but I think it just speaks to everything that you're saying. | ||
Again, I have two articles from today that are a couple days ago that I think correspond to one another. | ||
One says the CDC says that high school boys are suffering from epidemics of sobriety and virginity. | ||
Now, I don't think high school boys need to be encouraged to do anything that makes them less sober. | ||
But it speaks to the overall loneliness. | ||
And then you also have for young women, Tinder, toxic for young women. | ||
The swipe right apps promise of sexual liberation is working for men. | ||
So really, this just speaks to the overall loneliness that especially young people are feeling these days, whether it's because of technology or because of the culture that makes people fearful. | ||
The question is, how do we get out of this? | ||
How do we break free from this enforced loneliness? | ||
Is there a way to do that on an individual level? | ||
Yes, absolutely. | ||
In fact, the individual level is really the best path forward. | ||
The individual level, the private sphere of life, strong families, strong faith, strong friendships, strong communities, have always been in the crosshairs of tyrants. | ||
If you go right to the Communist Manifesto of 1848, One of the big banner notes in there is, abolish the family! | ||
So we're on religion. | ||
All of these things from which people get inner strength. | ||
And the examples that you cited about the isolation and the effects of isolation on young men and young women I think has a lot to do with how the culture has been basically hijacked. | ||
I mean, you know, the strong culture of strong families and, you know, what allows us to have really healthy and happy real-life interactions with others It's in the process of being destroyed through all the brokenness and the policies that create broken families and the broken mother-child bond and so on and so forth. | ||
And of course, all the hostilities that are being destroyed Generated between the sexes. | ||
We didn't even get into the whole transgender thing. | ||
But that's just an example of how self-censorship got us to where we are. | ||
And how an opinion cascade can be generated and manufactured to create the illusion of a majority viewpoint that's really a fringe viewpoint, and that make the fringe viewpoint Look like it's a majority viewpoint. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
But there's lots we can do. | ||
On a one-on-one level, and as I said before, it's an asymmetric war. | ||
It has to be fought on that level. | ||
But that's the level. That's the big prize of totalitarians. | ||
They've always been after these one-on-one personal relationships. | ||
So it's up to us who've had the benefit of strong families and strong connections that we can actually fall back on, who have the strength, who have a higher threshold for risk to reach out And encourage others to reach out also who have the threshold for it, | ||
one-on-one. And whenever a subject comes up, or even if it doesn't, if it, you know, if the conversation is, you know, if it's a good time for conversation, just because people are craving and starving for real conversation. | ||
And just put their toe in the water. | ||
And as I said before, you know, just... | ||
Express what you might believe. | ||
And there are three things I tell people that can happen, that generally, three things that can happen when you do that. | ||
Number one, and this has happened to me on many occasions, you will have emboldened a like-minded thinker. | ||
unidentified
|
They're like, wow, I thought I was all alone. | |
And that can help get that ripple effect, that chain reaction going to create a cascade of You know, of reality, of sanity and so on. | ||
And then the second thing that could happen is maybe that person really isn't tuned in, but at least you've influenced You've shown them what that viewpoint is all about. | ||
And then, of course, the third thing and the reason everybody shuts up about what they believe is they're fearful that they're going to ruin the relationship. | ||
Because I'm talking mostly about people that you would know in a daily life, a neighbor or someone you're on good, friendly terms with but doesn't necessarily know what you believe. | ||
Or it could even be a family member or friend who doesn't know. | ||
The fear is that that person, you'll be dead to them, cut out because you've said something that they find anathema to what they believe. | ||
But you have, if you do that, you've done something that's just as valuable, maybe even more so. | ||
You've watered down the stereotype associated by the media and big tech and everybody with that viewpoint. | ||
They're face to face with somebody that they've known and liked and And has exposed them to the fact that, hey, this is just what I consider reasonable. | ||
And that can have a huge, huge effect. | ||
And the point of all of this censorship is to shut that down. | ||
To shut down not just media, big celebrities saying things that they don't approve of, but to shut down Even more importantly, just the individual talking to another individual. | ||
I think that's just really important. | ||
In my last chapter, I call it a wrench in the machinery of loneliness. | ||
I talk about a lot of the different things that we can do and say that that can make a huge difference, one of which is to have kind of propaganda 101 book clubs or, you know, there's so many great books and also movies that have themes of the weaponization of loneliness that we don't even realize are there. | ||
You know, you can, you know, just getting together and discussing these kinds of dynamics can make a huge difference. | ||
I mean, Oprah had her book club, right? | ||
Right. | ||
So if people just had discussion groups or just learned more about these dynamics and how, you know, how propaganda works, you can get more red pill people. | ||
Yeah, absolutely. And I'm telling you, you read my mind with that third point, especially because... | ||
One of the ways that they keep you in fear is they tell you, if you believe this, it means you're racist. | ||
If you believe this, it means you hate this type of person. | ||
And I think it's incumbent on us to go, no, no, I'm going to tell you what I believe, and I'm going to express it in a way that makes it clear. | ||
I'm telling you this because I love you, because I love these people, because I love reality and the truth, and I want you to know it. | ||
And I really think you're exactly right that you break the imposed stereotype of if you're an anti-vaxxer, it's because you want grandma to die, right? | ||
It's like how do people believe that? | ||
But they do, and so it's incumbent on us to go, actually, I want grandma to live, so here's I'm going to tell you what I'm told not to tell you. | ||
I'm not going to self-censor myself, but I'm also not going to fall into the trap of fulfilling their stereotype and going, well, I do hate these types of people. | ||
So it's like, it's incumbent on us to, and I think humor is a great tool in this, but just personal relationship and being fearless in knowing that what you believe comes from a place of love, you can express that, you can express what you believe, and hopefully shatter the illusion of the stereotype that they've imposed upon you. | ||
I'm really glad you said that because I totally agree. | ||
Thank you, Harrison. | ||
You summed it up beautifully. | ||
One other footnote, although I've got like 20 footnotes, but one other footnote that I'll mention is that I discuss the conformity impulse in my book and the experiments, fascinating experiments done by Solomon Asch back in the 1950s about conformity. | ||
One of the things that he found, he did a variation on the experiment. | ||
This was the line experiment. | ||
You just match up the length of a line with the three other. | ||
You pick one. People were answering wrong because everybody else was answering wrong. | ||
unidentified
|
It's a crazy experiment. I think political or controversial about it. | |
It's a length of a line. But anyway, it was one of the variations. | ||
So he found a very high level of conformity when people were fearful of being, you know, like the misfit who didn't agree, even though the answer was obviously number two and everybody else was saying number three. | ||
But a variation of that experiment showed that if that subject had a partner Right. | ||
Right. Which is key. | ||
But all these things we don't really learn about. | ||
I mean, you can go online and look for these experiments and stuff, but people generally, you know, it needs to become common knowledge. | ||
Yeah, yeah, and it makes perfect sense. | ||
I mean, yeah, that's absolutely brilliant. | ||
I just want to thank you for coming on. | ||
We could go on for hours, but I guess if you want to learn more, you've got to go get the book, The Weaponization of Loneliness, How Tyrants Stoke Our Fear of Isolation to Silence, Divide, and Conquer. | ||
Stella Morabito is the author. | ||

When I invented my pillow, that was in 2004. | ||
It took a year to invent. Nothing ever changed. | ||
It was the best patented fill. | ||
The best member sleep is about height and stay in there and temperature. | ||
Well now, I found out about a year and a half ago about temperature regulating thread that's made here in the US. So I have this fabric made And I said, you know, let's make an exclusive MyPillow fabric and see if it works with the great patent and fill. | ||
I've slept on it now for two months. | ||

They're absolutely the best pillow ever. | ||
