In an April 16th interview with Polly Tommy, Dr.
Paul Thomas explained how the American medical establishment incentivizes pediatricians to fully vaccinate their young patients and fines them if they don't.
Vaccinations that have been proven to cause more death and harm than the diseases they are said to be preventing.
dr paul thomas
Well, as other practices started kicking people out of their practices if they weren't following the CDC schedule, I was getting more and more families who didn't want to do any vaccines, which was fine with me.
So we took an entire month of every single billing sheet, and on every visit, On the back of that, our providers would mark off what vaccines we recommend according to the CDC schedule, families could decline them, and then our billing department, insurance company by insurance company, vaccine by vaccine, we looked at how much money was being lost for vaccines that were refused, just the admin fee.
So there's three main ways you make money off of vaccines and pediatrics.
Number one is the admin fee.
And you get about, it depends on the insurance company, every contract's different, but I would average it out to say about $40 for the first antigen and $20 for each subsequent antigen.
So let's just say a two-month well baby visit.
There's a DPT, that's three shots, three antigens.
Hib, Prevnar, Hep B, Polio, Rotavirus, six shots, eight antigens, about $240.
Thank you for giving those shots.
Multiply that by the fact that I was getting 30 to 40 newborns per month.
They're coming in repeatedly at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15, 18 months, and age 2.
So we looked at the admin fee loss, and from my practice that was billing at that time about 3 million gross, we were losing a million dollars, over a million dollars, in vaccines that were refused.
So you cannot stay in business if you're not giving pretty close to the CDC schedule.
It just doesn't pencil out economically At all.
Let me tell you about the other two ways we make money from vaccines.
One is the markup. That's small.
They don't allow a lot of profit on vaccines as far as markups, but they do this thing called incentives or bonuses, and it's called a quality bonus.
Well, in pediatrics, one of the main quality measures is how well you vaccinate.
Isn't that interesting? It has nothing to do with how healthy your kids are.
Like when I studied my vaxxed versus unvaxxed patients, the unvaxxed were so incredibly healthy, they rarely got sick.
They rarely would end up in an emergency room or in a hospital or with any chronic condition.
So being unvaxxed results in very healthy kids who don't use a lot of medical dollars.
Every health system should want that, but it's reversed.
It's all flipped. It's bizarre.
You're supposed to have had your kids up to date, about 80% of them by age two.
Guess what percentage of my population was at fully vaccinated age 2?
1%. The goal is 80%.
So Dr.
Paul gets an F minus.
Basically what that means is not only do I not get paid the normal amount for everything else we do in the office, I get dinged maybe 10 or 15% off of those RVUs, relative value units that are ascribed.
Everything you do in medicine is given a value.
If you do very well on your quality measures, you're a really good vaccinator, you may get an additional 10% On everything you do in your office.
That's huge. SIDS is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
When you hear the word syndrome, it means we don't know what it is.
We don't know what causes it.
Well, we actually have a pretty good clue because there are six datasets, studies, that looked at SIDS when that infant died relative to when they got a vaccine.
In one dataset, 97% were in the first 10 days after the vaccine.
For the six other studies, a couple of them showed that 50% of the deaths happened in the first week.
But 75 to about 90% of those deaths are happening in the first week.
After vaccines in all these studies.
We've known this for decades.
The countries that have the most infant vaccines have the highest infant mortality.
Guess where the U.S. stands?
We are number one in infant vaccines.
We are number one in industrial countries for infant mortality.
There's a document, a 450-page legal document, that has tables showing for every single disease for which we have a vaccine, there are more deaths from the vaccine than there are from the disease for which we have that vaccine.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
harrison smith
Welcome to the American Journal.
I am your host, Harrison Smith.
We have a lot to talk about today, including the assassination attempt by the president of Slovakia, or the prime minister, rather, Robert Fico.
Fico? Hi, Fico.
That's not the only goings-on in the world.
We're going to travel the face of the earth today talking about all of the various ways the New World Order is attempting and having considerable success in, you know, killing everyone.
So let's not waste any time.
Here it is, your Daily Dispatch. All right, folks, here it is, your Daily Dispatch for Thursday, the 16th of May, 2024.
Pro-life activist Lauren Handy sentenced to nearly five years in prison for abortion clinic protest.
Pro-life activist Lauren Handy was sentenced to four years and nine months in federal prison, as well as three years of supervised release on Tuesday for seeking to prevent abortions by blocking the entrance of Washington, D.C. abortion clinic in 2020.
Handy, 30, was convicted last year by a D.C. federal jury, along with several other pro-life activists, for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinical Entrances, or FACE Act, and Conspiracy Against Rights, charges that carried a potential sentence of up to 11 years in prison and $350,000 in fines, according to President Joe Biden's Department of Justice.
Is this justice?
Is this justice?
Prosecutors requested for Handy, who has been in jail since her conviction, to be sentenced for up to six and a half years.
Handy's attorneys with the pro-life Thomas Moore Society requested a more lenient 12-month sentence.
Her sentence will include credit for time served.
Handy's nine co-defendants are Jonathan Darnell, Jay Smith, John Hinsaw, William Goodman, Joan Bell, Paulette Harlow, Jean Marshall, Heather Idoni, and Herb Gerati.
Fellow participant and pro-life activist John Hinsaw was sentenced to 20 months in federal prison on the FACE Act on Tuesday.
Smith was sentenced to 10 months last year, while the others were scheduled for sentencing on Tuesday.
This is so-called justice in the modern world.
Thieves, rapists, criminals are let out on bail, usually with a slap on the wrist, to go out and victimize again.
But if you dare sit in front of an abortion clinic four to five years in prison, Is that justice?
I mean, obviously not.
What is it then? Total tyranny.
And that's not the only example of a mismatch in actual harm done to other people and sentence received.
We'll get back to that later.
Meanwhile, HHS suspends funding proposed debarment for EcoHealth Alliance over gain-of-function research in Wuhan.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced that it will be suspending funding for EcoHealth Alliance, the nonprofit connected to gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
HHS has also proposed the formal debarment of the organization.
In a letter released on Wednesday by a House subcommittee that is investigating the COVID-19 outbreak, HHS Deputy Assistant Secretary for Acquisitions Katrina Brisbane told EcoHealth President Dr.
Peter Daszak that there was adequate evidence for recommending that the nonprofit not receive future government contracts.
The letter also stated that immediate action is necessary to protect the public interest.
It's basically beyond discussion now.
It's beyond debate. It is absolutely proven at this point that EcoHealth Alliance, in coordination with the Chinese government and the U.S. government, created COVID in a lab and released...
Well, it hasn't been proven that it was released on purpose, but I think we can connect the dots.
I think we can assume...
Senator Rand Paul, who gained popularity during the pandemic for his hard line of questions towards Fauci regarding gain-of-function research, applauded HHS's decision in a post on X, saying, Finally, the Biden admin agrees to ban Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance, who financed the gain-of-function research in Wuhan, from getting any more taxpayer dollars.
Yeah, we won't. Yeah, take that.
I hope you've learned your lesson.
Create a virus that destroys the entire world, and your punishment is, we won't be giving you very much free money anymore, sir.
Wow, I'm sure they've learned their lesson.
They should all be in prison, at the very least.
At the very least, they should be in prison.
If we're to actually consider what justice means in this regard...
I think capital punishment would be more in line with justice, but moving on.
Cohen cross-examination resumes to the most critical point of Trump's trial.
Yes, we're all on the edge of our seats, sitting with bated breath to find out what comes next in the trial of Donald Trump.
Except it's literally nothing.
Michael Cohen... The former fixer of Donald Trump goes back on the sand Thursday braced for another bruising day of cross-examination that is shaping up as the most crucial chapter in the first criminal trial of a former president.
Cohen is the last prosecution witness and his testimony is a sign that the trial, arising from a hush money payment Trump allegedly made to an adult film star in efforts to cover it up, is moving swiftly towards a climax that could rock the last five months of the election.
unidentified
Yeah, great. Great.
harrison smith
Again, I feel like I have to put one of these in each and every daily dispatch because when you go on mainstream news aggregation sites like Google News, there's always on the top, on the very top of the page, is an update about the trial of Donald Trump.
They really want you to treat this like the trial of the century, even though it is completely baseless, and even if convicted on absolutely everything, it represents the minorest of crimes, the smallest of infractions against the justice system.
It's a... It's an act of tyranny.
It's an act of despotism.
It is obviously the federal government trying desperately to destroy their main political dissident.
This is not complicated.
It is infuriating and does represent the end of democracy or the constitutional republic as we know it.
Meanwhile, black Marine arrested for planning anti-white race massacre.
Trenton, New Jersey, a black USMC veteran, has been arrested after federal prosecutors asserted he was planning a racially motivated mass shooting against white people.
The individual stated he wanted to cause mayhem on the white community and said as a black male he wanted to erase as many as he could.
According to reports, the suspect, identified as 23-year-old former U.S. Marine Joshua Cobb of Hamilton, was a frequent user of the Gore video website Watch People Die, under the moniker One Day You Suffer.
Federal authorities announced they'd arrested Cobb on Friday after an investigation determined he had allegedly planned two shooting sprees to specifically target innocent white people in the state of New Jersey.
Attack sites included a Jersey Strong Gym and an Aldi grocery store in nearby Robbinsville.
Online, Cobb had stated he had access to guns and that he wanted to kill a lot of people, prosecutors said.
In March of last year, the Black Armed Forces veterans say on social media that he fantasized about the adrenaline rush he'd feel during a racially motivated slaughter, saying I'd probably OD on my own adrenaline after the 10th body goes down.
I don't see what the big deal is.
He's just acting in line with the incentives provided by the mainstream media and politics at large.
After all, we've got Ayanna Pressley talking about white men failing up.
I mean, the anti-white hatred is pretty overwhelming.
Not sure what you expect after this continual deluge of stochotic terrorism against the founding stock of this nation, but...
Hey, at least we avoided that in particular massacre.
So, you know, we can focus on all of the other routine massacres that occur on almost a continual basis.
And Vida recently came out with their, just every month they come out with, you know, at least, you know, average like 30 to 40 black on white murders.
So, I mean, literally it's a daily, on average it's about a daily thing.
Black people murdering white people who have nothing to do with and are just minding their own business.
But that's what we'd expect.
And, of course, to report on it is racist.
Meanwhile, Slovak PM Robert Fico expected to survive.
UK media appears to justify the assassination attempt.
Prime Minister Fico is said to be improving following reports he was in surgery due to several gunshot wounds from the Wednesday assassination attempt.
Deputy Prime Minister Thomas Taraba told the BBC he is not in a life-threatening situation at this moment.
Fortunately, as far as I know, the operation went well, and I guess in the end he will survive, the statement indicated.
Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kalanak has told reporters in a briefing that there is no doubt that the attack was a politically motivated assassination attempt, the inability to accept the will of some part of the public, which some group does not like, and the result that they have worked towards today, he said, in reference to FICO's political opponents.
A video is widely circulated of the detained suspect's interrogation, wherein the man, identified as Jaraj Farah, We're good to go.
Casual accusation is so prevalent to the West and toxic.
This guy's segment in question which calls FICO very pro-Russian and that it's not surprising that the attack took place.
It's not surprising.
He kind of deserved it, actually.
I mean, he doesn't want to go along with the fabricated...
World War III, that's being drummed up in opposition to all logic, reason, common sense, and basic respect for human life.
I guess he deserves to be killed then.
This is just the latest in a long line of assassinations of Western or just simply people not going along with the proposed plan of the globalist.
We'll show you a list of that in just a second.
First, let's go to some videos of FICO. Clip number five here.
This is posted with the label.
I wonder why they wanted him dead.
unidentified
Let's watch. Slovakia has other and bigger problems than Ukraine.
We don't agree with army in Ukraine.
We would do everything also as a part of the EU and support everything for peace in Ukraine and efforts to start peace negotiations on Ukraine.
At today's meeting, it became clear that I have different opinions on some topics with Mr.
Prime Minister of Ukraine. Above all, it is a view of the war in Ukraine.
I reiterated that I do not believe in a military solution to this conflict.
In 2014, after the Maidan, Ukraine became entirely controlled by the U.S. Why did the Russian President order the use of military force in Ukraine?
Imagine Mexico, next to you, with its defense ministry and entire political scene, including the President and government under full Russian control.
Now imagine Mexico joining a military organization where Russia plays a decisive role.
What would you do? This argument is rational.
Ukraine is not sovereign and is entirely under U.S. control.
Wow, he's throwing down a lot of inconvenient truths, I guess you could say there.
harrison smith
Yes, inconvenient truths indeed.
Listen, you don't want to go along with the war.
You get killed.
That's just how it works in today's world.
Rule of law is crumbling.
And so you can either go through the long and arduous process of illegally destroying somebody through the court systems by creating false charges and ruining their lives before ever getting a conviction.
And that's just so much trouble.
It's so much easier just to kill them.
You just kill them and then the problem is solved.
Right? I mean, this is the way these people think.
And the outcome is essentially the same.
I mean, whether you...
Put in all the work and spend all the money and all the time to crucify somebody in the lawfare realm and destroy them that way.
Or whether you just put a bullet in their head, both of these things are simply extrajudicial punishments.
Robert Fico assassination attempt suspect was government critic to opposed Ukraine war.
What? 71-year-old poet from the town of Olivia, the poets.
The poets are at it again.
Posted online rants against Slovakia in PM before opening fire.
He was against the Ukraine war, but so was this guy.
Yeah, I'm not buying that.
We go down to clip number 16.
The Slovakian PM, Robert Fiko, who's fighting for his life after an assassination attempt, had this to say about NATO. Let's watch.
He said, if someone had a different opinion on the vaccinations, there were dangers for society.
The media wrote openly, you know, I'm quoting now, that everyone unvaccinated should squeal in pain like a pig.
In addition, you have to use force if someone rejects the policy of the needle.
And today it turns out that our free perspective on past vaccination and the government's measures to fight against COVID, grossly violating human rights, was correct and justified.
One study after another one, they confirmed the scandalous consequences of massive vaccination of untested experimental vaccines.
Yes, I confirm as chairman of the party...
I also confirm it as the Prime Minister that I will support the efforts of some politicians from the new government coalition to politically assess what was done to the government between 2021, 20 to 21 was fooling around, and also look at the financial side of extensive, often completely meaningless purchases of medical devices and vaccines.
I also declare very clearly that SMER, the party is a part of, will not support the strengthening of the powers of the World Health Organization at the expense of the sovereign states in managing the fight against pandemics.
And I will say that such nonsense could only be invented by greedy pharmaceutical companies, which began to perceive the opposition of some governments against mandatory vaccination.
According to the Constitution of the Slovak Republic, the validity of such international agreements in favor of the World Health Organization requires the consent of the National Council of the Slovak Republic.
And I do not believe that it is in the sovereign Slovak political party will express such approval.
The SMER party will oppose it.
So he opposed the WHO pandemic treaty.
He opposes the war in Ukraine.
And so he has to die.
So he has to be killed, obviously.
The identity of the shooter has been revealed in national media and video of the actual moment the shots ranged out and PM FICO went down and has emerged on some social media platforms and we're showing that to you now.
Keith Woods put out a tweet thread on this, talking about just some of the assassination attempts against right-wing leaders in Europe over the past little while.
He says the nationalist leader of Slovakia has been shot multiple times in an assassination attempt by liberal activists.
This follows a pattern of leftist attacks and assassination attempts on national activists this year.
An Antifa activist in Ireland smashed their car into an anti-immigration protest in East Wall, Ireland.
In Germany, the AFD co-leader Alice Weidel was forced to flee her home after German intelligence warned of an impending assassination attempt.
Also in Germany, the AFD co-leader Tino Trupala hospitalized after being stabbed with a syringe.
In Spain, the founder of Spain's Vox Party was shot in the face at point-blank range by a Tunisian migrant.
In the Netherlands, Dutch Forum for Democracy leader Badeau Was physically attacked twice while campaigning for the election.
Robert Fico has now been shot multiple times by a liberal activist.
We keep being told the threat of far-right extremism, but the reality is the streets of Europe have become unsafe for nationalist activities due to leftist violence.
And by the way, as he was putting that out, yet another assassination attempt occurred.
He says this list can already be updated, just as I posted...
A man was arrested for threatening to kill anti-immigration Irish candidate Maliki Steenson.
I believe we have that video as well.
Clip number 11. Here is Maliki Steenson talking about an assassination attempt at his office today.
unidentified
Let's watch. Just while today we saw reports about politicians being intimidated and some of them giving out about shouting words being said to them and they were all so upset.
This evening while we were out canvassing In East Wall, approximately 20 minutes ago, a guy arrived at my office, banging down the door, threatening a young nephew, threatening to kill me.
He'd been followed here.
He'd been stopped earlier by Gardaí, and he said he was on his way to kill me.
They didn't know he was serious, so they followed him, and he had arrived here intending to attack me or kill me.
Thankfully, the Guardi responded immediately and now a man is in custody.
These are the threats that we face in this country for standing up for our people.
Just like the Prime Minister in Slovakia was shot today because he opposed the European Union agenda.
We are going to pay a heavy price in this country for what's happening.
This is the beginning.
You have a chance to change it on June 7th by voting nationalists across the country.
harrison smith
This really is a fairly regular thing, and it happens here in America as well.
We've gone through it before, just the number of literal terrorist attacks against Trump supporters, pro-life clinics, that sort of thing, fire bombings, churches burning, 80-plus churches burning in Canada on the lie of the mass graves alone.
But it goes on and on, and it's...
It is, in a lot of ways, stochastic terrorism from the media and the politicians who tell us that this is the correct response to anti-immigrant sentimentality or anti-Ukraine or anti-Israel.
I mean, when you've got senators in the U.S. Congress calling encampments on college campuses, protesters, little Gaza, Well, at this moment, Gaza is suffering under the seventh or is it even eighth month at this point of continual bombardment.
I mean, if people in Gaza deserve it and these protests are little Gazas, I mean, don't they deserve the violence?
No one has been arrested for the violence that we were just seeing on display there, where you had a peaceful protest, a bunch of anti-Israel encampments on UCLA campus, violently assaulted by pro-Israeli activists.
None of them have gone to prison.
None of them have been punished.
There's a very clear signal being sent out that violence from the left is acceptable.
It's justified.
It's right.
It's good.
It won't be punished.
It'll be rewarded, if anything.
Whereas even the remotest hint at violent intent from the right will be treated like an existential threat and dealt with accordingly.
And this is the signal.
This is the one and only signal that's coming out of the left.
And we've got stories today that can expand on this with the intelligence agencies in Germany now declaring that AFD can be spied on as an extremist group.
Now, AFD, I remind you, is the most popular party in Germany.
So you've got the most popular party in democratic Germany being declared an extremist group and spied on by the intelligence agencies.
While simultaneously, every member of AFD is coming under threat of violent attack, sometimes actually being violently attacked, sometimes simply being denied health care because the doctors don't want to treat dangerous extremists.
See, everything the government and the media is doing is giving fuel to this fire.
Court confirms German intelligence surveillance of extremist AFD. Courts find sufficient evidence to justify the classification of the far-right party as a threat to democracy.
So obviously they deserve to be violently destroyed.
I mean, that's what... We've been told over and over again, I mean, this is about saving democracy, and if we're willing to kill hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to save democracy, what's one politician here or there?
It's sick, but this is the way that power is wielded when your entire world is run by the most devious, despicable, anti-human scumbags the world has ever seen.
So it'll continue until good people stand up and destroy this entire system and replace it with something that is not violent and insane.
But until then, we endure the violent insanity.
We'll be right back with more.
Stay with us.

This is the American Journal.

Big thanks to you, Chase Geyser, for hosting for me yesterday.
We're going to be joined at the 10 o'clock hour by Oren McIntyre.
Very excited to talk to him.
He's the author of a book called The Total State, How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies.
And of course, it would be one thing if tyranny was all we had to deal with.
It wouldn't even be that big of a deal, honestly.
I think a lot of us are reaching the point where it's like, hey, as long as the tyranny cleans up the streets, bring it on.
Which I know is something that we have to resist falling into because this is the paradigm.
This is the problem, reaction, solution operation that they're pulling on us.
By making everything terrible...
People would just beg for whatever it takes to bring back order.
And it's happening at an incredibly rapid clip.
we've got some videos to highlight it.
If you want to see those, there's a tweet from a guy named Sam Padilla at the Sam Padilla.
He's a person who works in big tech.
I don't have to censor his tweet here, but it says...
Holy effing S, I just walked from Soma to Hayes Valley through Market Street, an easily the sketchiest walk of my life.
And dude, I grew up in Brazil and Colombia.
I've walked pretty sketchy stuff before.
This doesn't even compare.
Felt like a scene straight out of The Walking Dead.
Sad. I walked by a corner where there were easily 100 people, many visibly high, probably a shelter.
Right then, an unaccompanied...
waymo car drove by it was the first time i saw one without a human at the wheel and it just hit me san francisco is the epitome of a tech dystopia this can't be the future of tech this was retweeted by elon musk who said yeah and these same people who brought us this are now writing the ai software that will determine uh policy for the world basically and you got to ask i mean is it on purpose Is it just an accident?
How is it that we can simultaneously have self-driving cars navigating city streets avoiding mobs of a hundred zombied out trank-addicted fentanyl users?
What is this?
Why is America so crappy all of a sudden?
How did it get to this point?
We've got so many videos like this that just show the horrifying reality of America at this point.
Not sure if I, yeah, clip number 20.
This is a video of Hollywood, California.
Hollywood, you picture palm trees and bright lights and movie marquees and limos and beautiful women.
And instead, this is what Hollywood actually looks like.
Let's watch. Clip number 20 here, yeah.
Welcome to Hollywood. The streets are paved with gold, but you wouldn't know it because they're covered in trash.
You can't even see them. Just bodies lying on the ground.
Are they dead? Are they alive?
Basically both. A living death.
Just filth, chaos, misery, drug addiction.
And the good news is, you know, we're paying for all of it.
I mean, that's the thing, right? These people literally couldn't survive if they couldn't go down to the tax office every week and get their welfare check.
We just keep them on a starvation diet.
Just keep them right at this level of misery.
No more, no less.
No help. No attempt to...
You know, rectify the behavior.
No requirements to get the support.
Just wander around wasting your life and everybody's money.
None of this is necessary.
None of this is required.
None of this is part of being in a liberal democracy.
It's all just choices being made by the people at the top who want to put us in such an uncomfortable, unbearable situation.
That any alternative is preferable.
Right? Who cares if it's tyrannical?
Can we just have somebody go through and just put these people in a camp?
I don't know. I mean, whatever. Who cares?
I just want to be able to walk my own city and not be stabbed to death.
I would just like to be able to Let my kid outside without wondering if some tranked out zombie is going to try to eat his face.
I'd like to send my kid to school without thinking that he's being put in a dress and called Samantha.
Why do we put up with this?
That's my question. Why do we allow this to happen?
Why do we facilitate, fund, and encourage all of this?
What is the point? Who is this helping?
I'll ask again, is this because America's become more conservative?
Have we become more Christian?
More white? More strict?
Or is all of this the result of a bottomless pit of tolerance?
Once you tolerate one thing, you gotta tolerate the next.
Of course, San Francisco is the ideal candidate for the Futuristic dystopia where you do have not just automatic self-driving cars being mobbed by homeless people, which is hilarious in and of itself.
But you've got these campuses, these billion-dollar campuses like Apple and Google and all these others that are just literal Xanadus where they have five-star, you know, Michelin-star chefs making their breakfast, lunch, and dinner and free...
Coffee from the $10,000 espresso machine and they spend all day every day scootering around, you know, writing an email or two.
And we've all seen the videos, right?
A day in the life of a big tech superstar.
And they go from their downtown high-rise apartment that's all very sterile and soulless and clean and nice, I guess.
And they go down, they briefly flit through the reality, the grungy, horrifying mess of the average American street.
They get in a bus that drives right through all of the chaos.
And we haven't seen any recently, but over the last few years, there's been, again, a very telling...
Example where you've got these, you know, big tech entrepreneurial types sitting in their incredibly fancy Wi-Fi enabled espresso machine laden bus and they're just like going through just the horror show and sometimes like the mob of zombies will like attack the bus as it drives through.
But you go from the high rise to the Xanadu like campus of your big tech company and And you just ignore the stuff happening outside your window.
It's just all very insulated away from it.
And it's the same way that happens with every socialist dystopia that's ever existed in the entirety of the world.
And you can look at Latin American countries over the past hundred years where this exact thing happens.
Very interesting images you can find where there's like a fence that separates just a...
Shanty town, you know, flavella from the tennis courts and swimming pools and sweeping grass lawns of the power structure.
But California is just going through it in a more American way.
But this disjointing of the American society from the ultra poor who are just left to wallow in misery and then the ultra rich who spend a lot of time and money and effort in separating themselves from the consequences of their own decisions.
And then the people in the middle, the middle class, paying for both and desperately just trying to keep the wheels on and handle their own lives in increasingly impossible situation.
None of this is necessary.
None of this is inevitable.
None of this is inevitable.
All of this is a decision being made.
All right, welcome back, folks.
We have a lot to discuss, but we'll be opening up the phone lines for your calls.
unidentified
All right.
harrison smith
In the next hour, we'll be joined by Oren McIntyre in the third hour.
I haven't gone through and found it yet.
unidentified
you Thank you.
harrison smith
Maybe somebody out there can find it and upload it on Twitter before we get a chance to.
But another example of InfoWars tomorrow's news today.
If you remember last week, Israel was threatening to go into Rafa and the Biden administration stood up and said, you will not go into Rafa or we will not give you all of the biggest weapons that we promised you.
Had them shaking in their boots, I'm sure.
And I made the very clear prediction on this show.
My prediction was Israel's still going to go into Rafa and America's still going to send them weapons.
Well, Israel went into Rafa and now we have this.
U.S. poised to send $1 billion in weapons to Israel, sources say.
Whoa, no way.
Wow, what? I can't believe it.
Exactly as we predicted, 100%.
Down to the letter.
Incredible. Incredible.
The Biden administration has informed Congress that it intends to transfer $1 billion in weapons to Israel, two congressional sources confirmed.
To CBS News Tuesday, Congress will need to approve the transfer.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report the news.
The moves come days after the U.S. withheld shipments of certain munitions to Israel.
And President Biden said in an interview with CNN that the U.S. would further curtail weapon shipments if Israel broadened the ground offensive to include civilian population centers in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
We are continuing to send military assistance and we will ensure that Israel receives the full amount provided in the supplemental.
National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Monday, referring to a recently signed funding package that includes about $14 billion for Israel's defense.
Package includes about $700 million for tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles, and $60 million in mortar rounds, congressional aides told the Associated Press.
I mean, you can't walk down the street in your neighborhood without being robbed or raped by a drugged-out psychopath, but we're sending hundreds of billions of dollars overseas so Israel can fully eradicate its issues in Gaza.
It just goes on and on.
And here's a very bizarre...
Headline that I haven't seen anybody really report on.
But it leaves you with some very large questions as to what Israel's doing and how America is cooperating with them.
U.S. said offering intel on Hamas' leaders' whereabouts if Israel drops Major Rafa op.
This is from the Times of Israel.
Biden administration reportedly also says it can give information on location of secret tunnels in Gaza used by terror group as incentive not to enter Gaza's southernmost city.
So what? Wait, what?
The Biden administration has offered to give Israel sensitive intelligence on the whereabouts of senior Hamas leaders if it agrees to hold off on the long-promised military operation in Gaza's southernmost city of Rafa.
So apparently the Biden administration knows where the leadership of Hamas is and is not providing that to Israel or is offering to provide it to Israel in exchange for them not going into Rafa.
There's a series of questions arises from this.
One, how do they have this intelligence that the IDF apparently doesn't have?
How is it that America can know where the Hamas leadership is when Israel doesn't?
I honestly want to know how that happens.
And the other question is, if they had this information, would it change anything?
Would it change anything at all?
So apparently the Biden administration has been withholding this information from them.
Which means that all of the sort of untargeted mass bombing campaigns supposedly to destroy Hamas, which haven't even hurt Hamas, really.
They're pretty much untouched.
I mean, they're forcing the IDF right now out of positions in North Gaza.
Rafa is, of course, the farthest south point of Gaza.
Up against the Egyptian border.
But they're still getting kicked out of the northern areas of Gaza because they never eliminated Hamas there.
So the Washington Post quoted four unnamed sources as saying that the United States is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sense of intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group's hidden tunnels.
The report said that the administration has also offered to help put up a large tent encampments for Palestinians evacuated from Rafah and to assist in building infrastructure to provide humanitarian aid.
So we'll provide them the bombs and weapons they need to destroy Gaza, and then we'll pay for the rebuilding, and then we'll take in the Palestinians that want to leave, and then we'll fund the, you know, Israel attack that forced them to leave in the first place.
Any of this making sense to anybody?
A senior administration official familiar with the discussions, also unnamed, was quoted as saying that Israel had provided assurances that the IDF would not enter Rafah before evacuating about 800,000 of the estimated 1 million Palestinians sheltering there amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
Comments from White House National Security Spokesperson John Kirby at a Thursday briefing appeared to be in line with the report, though he noted such intelligence was already being given to Israel.
We could also, in fact, help them target leaders, including Hamas leader Senwar, which we are frankly doing with the Israelis on an ongoing basis.
Okay, so if they're already giving them this information, then what are they...
It's just none of this makes any sense.
I mean, it's just madness.
It's just pure, unrelenting madness.
What is going on at all?
Can anybody tell me what's actually happening?
So we have the intelligence on where the Hamas leaders are.
But we're holding that back and saying we'll give this to you if you don't invade Rafa.
But then actually we're already giving it to them.
And actually they already have the information about where the Hamas leaders are.
But the attacks that they're waging are not targeting the Hamas leadership.
Even though they have the intelligence from America as to where they are.
Why America even has this intelligence and how they have it is unexplained as of yet.
How they could have information that the Israeli government doesn't have doesn't really make any sense.
Just what is happening here?
I mean, it just makes no sense.
I guess if you really want to listen to these people, it's baffling and confusing and nonsensical and contradictory and continually contradict itself over and over.
unidentified
here.
harrison smith
So maybe it's best not to listen to these people.
Maybe it's best just look at the actions that are occurring and determine what's going on from what's actually happening.
And so what's actually happening is they are not destroying Hamas.
They are not even doing significant damage against Hamas.
They are bombing tens of thousands of innocent civilians, men, women, and children.
They are massacring people inside and outside hospitals with At least six mass graves found with torture victims with their hands tied behind their back, shot in the head and dumped into a giant grave.
They have the information as to where the Hamas leadership is, but they're not actually targeting them because that's not actually the point of what's going on in Gaza.
What is actually the point of going on in Gaza is to drive all of the Palestinians out of Gaza to take it fully over as just pure Israeli territory to move in settlers and drive out the native inhabitants there.
It's not really all that complicated.
It's just classic territorial takeover.
Pretty simple. Just ethnic cleansing.
We can get into all the nitty-gritty details, but if you zoom out far enough, it just looks like ethnic cleansing.
That's all. That's it.
It's pretty simple. It's a genocide.
Pure and plain and simple.
Now, there's been some headlines recently that might have you confused when they say things like, UN Hab's estimate of women and children killed in Gaza, which is weird because somehow they cut the number of women and children in half, and yet the number of dead didn't go down at all.
So what does that mean? All that means is that there's at least 10,000 dead people that they can't identify one way or another.
So they say, well, these aren't women and children, because we don't know.
That's actually what's happening.
So you've got this headline from Jay Post.
UN seemingly halves estimate of Gazan women and children killed.
UN also highlighted that the plurality of identified fatalities were men, 40%, while children were 32%, and women were 20%.
I see people posting this being like, oh, so I guess you believed the liar's numbers.
No, the number never went down.
It never went down. The only thing that's happened here is they said they can't confirm the identity of tens of thousands of them.
But of the ones that they can confirm, a good third of the dead people are children.
A third of the dead people are children.
A fifth of them are women. And 40% are men.
Innocent men, by the way, not men that are Hamas, but just civilians who happen to be men.
The UN published a number of fatalities reported by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.
The government media offices in Gaza and Israeli authorities provided a disclaimer below the data, saying the UN has so far not been able to produce independent, comprehensive, and verified casualty figures, maybe because the conflict is still going on, and the...
People that are going in to try to either provide aid or provide some sort of observation of the ongoing massacre keep themselves being killed by Israel.
Israel has led eight attacks on aid sources inside Gaza in the last seven months.
Eight directed attacks knowingly bombing UN or shooting up UN cars or refugee agencies.
It's sick. We'll be back on the other side.

Stay with us. How you intend on getting the union vote when there is a large portion of the union workers that are gun enthusiasts and you are actively trying to diminish your Second Amendment right and take away our guns?
You're a fool of s**t. All right, thank you guys.
Shush. Shush.
I support the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment, just like right now, if you yell fire, that's not free speech.
And from the very beginning, I have a shotgun, I have a 20-gauge, a 12-gauge, my son's hunt.
Guess what? You're not allowed to own any weapons.
I'm not taking your gun away at all.
You need 100 rounds in your code.
So when you were in Vando when you said you were going to take over guns...
I did not say that!
We're going to ban assault weapons again, come hell and high water.
I'm demanding a ban on a slow-weapons and high-capacity magazine.
Biden told 15 lies, nearly a lie a minute.
From whoppers about the economy to prevarications on Israel, Biden spun a fantasy land of a presidency that voters know is false.
How about number eight? Inflation was 9% when I came to office?
Nope. That's right.
And on and on it went.
There it is right there. 9% when I came to office.
1.4% when he came into office.
Inflation has gone slightly up.
up.
It wasn't 9% when I came in.
F*** you, Joseph. F*** you.

When such a geriatric calamity is not only the president of these United States, but is running for re-election, something has gone terribly wrong.
unidentified
F*** you.
Go, Joe.
F*** you. F*** you. F*** you.
jon bowne
Which begs the question, why is any of this even necessary?
Shortly following Biden's inauguration, the first thing that people immediately began wondering about Joe Biden was, who is really running the show and why?
Of course, CIA plant and Soros minion, the arrogant Barack Obama, kept very little close to the vest when it came to his intentions following his second term.
victor davis hanson
With Joe Biden, he's living his dream.
Remember what he said? He's on tape.
My dream is to phone in the presidency.
I would like to have a third term, but not if I had to work.
I would just like to sit in my basement and just tell people what's going to do.
And he said it, and that's what he's doing right now.
The Obamas are running the country.
My point is they want Joe Biden the way he is because he's a construct.
jon bowne
But the inside man acting as the ventriloquist with his arm up the dummy known as President Biden is, by all accounts, White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients.
tyler robinson
By getting Jeff's sign-off, you're getting the President's sign-off.
unidentified
Oh, this Jeff guy's powerful.
tyler robinson
Yeah. Realistically, they are, people call him, like, the second most powerful person in Washington.
He runs the White House.
He runs the White House. Like, he's responsible for everybody that works there.

Uh-huh. He, like, helps set the president's agenda.
tyler robinson
Uh-huh. Like, controls what gets said, all that.

Is he, is Jeff more powerful than Harris?
tyler robinson
No. In some ways yes, in some ways no.

Who would you say is the most powerful person at the White House?
Jeff. Jeff? Yeah.

Despite falling short of President Biden's goal to vaccinate 70% of adults by July 4th, this weekend the White House is celebrating progress in the fight against the pandemic.
Here to discuss, White House COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients.

This is the man behind the inflation, energy crisis, impending food shortages, border invasion, and new world order policy.
unidentified
We do not believe what is happening in Gaza is a genocide.

Underneath Obama, Zients served as director of the National Economic Council from 2014 to 2017 and led the effort to bring us the nightmare known as the Affordable Care Act.

You got Obama phone?
Yes, everybody in Cleveland, low minority got Obama phone.
Keep Obama in president, you know.
You gave us a phone.

You're gonna do more.
How do you give you a phone?
You sign up.
You're on full stamps.
You're on social security.
You got low income.
You disability.

Notably, Zients was a member of Facebook's board of directors from 2018 to 2020.
As the crew behind the disaster known as the Biden administration becomes more visible to the general public, perhaps now the American people will know who to actually complain to because Joe Biden is merely a pitiful decoy.

We're going to open up phone lines for your calls this hour.
We have a lot to cover.
Still a lot of videos to show you as well.
Just everything we told you is just continually being proven to be true.
It's annoying.
It really is just frustrating at this point.
I don't know how many times I have to tell you.
I don't know how many times we have to be right before people wake up to the reality of where we are.
We'll go ahead and give out the number for your calls.
1-877-789-2539.
1-877-789-2539.
Give us a call now here on the American Journal.
We'll take your calls throughout this hour.
We'll be joined by Oren McIntyre in the third hour.
We have some breaking news from Kyle Becker.
The highlights are that the six feet social distancing rule was completely made up, totally arbitrary.
The Wuhan lab leak is not a conspiracy theory anymore.
Fauci had an agenda to discredit the lab leak.
Fauci lied. And the NIH risked national security with poor Wuhan oversight.
And he has some transcripts here.
He says, he's asked, is the possibility of a lab leak a conspiracy theory?
To which Francis Collins says, oh, you have to define what you mean by lab leak, as if he doesn't know exactly what we mean by lab leak.
I feel like that answer alone should just be like, alright, arrest this man.
I mean, how are we going to get any honest comment out of somebody who's like, well, lab leak?
What could you possibly?
You know exactly what we mean.
You know exactly, like, if we could just cut the bullcrap, it would be so easy to get to the answer of all of these things.
Was it a lab leak? Was it leaked from a lab?
It just depends on what you, was it leaked from a lab or not?
The answer, of course, is yes, it was.
It's not that complicated. Yes, it was.
Obviously. The person responds, okay, putting aside de novo the possibility of a laboratory or research-related accident, a researcher doing something in a lab, getting infected with a virus, and then sparking the pandemic.
Is that scenario a conspiracy theory?
The answer, not at this point.
Not at this point. Not this point.
Okay. No, it never was.
This was never a conspiracy theory.
This was always the obvious and most likely source of the virus.
Very simple. I don't know how more simple it could be.
At this point, it's not a conspiracy theory.
At this point, we're willing to admit that the entire time this has been the correct assumption.
Is that what you mean?
unidentified
It goes on.
harrison smith
We've asked a number of people regarding the vetting or certifying process of foreign labs that receive U.S. dollars.
Do you know what that process is?
I do not.
To your knowledge, does NIH certify foreign labs that receive U.S. dollars?
I don't know that.
I'm just in charge.
I mean, I'm just in charge of the whole thing, but, you know, who am I to say where tens of millions of dollars of American taxpayer money goes?
They say, were you aware of this call?
So they talk about this call that, again, is just icing on the cake.
It is just evidence of the cover-up on top of evidence like the crime itself.
And it was the fact that we now we have and have had for years at this point, the emails and phone calls from Fauci attempting to cover up the fact that this was released from a lab.
They say, you discussed this a little bit and you got all the conference call and that sort of thing.
So the bottom email from Dr.
Farrar to Dr. Fauci, who is going to be joining the call and the call in details, Dr.
Fauci forwards it to you. Were you made aware of this call?
Colin's answer is, I was, I think.
Again, it's four years ago.
Initially informed by Dr. Fauci that the call was happening.
And then I think I got this email forwarded about what the agenda was going to be from Dr.
Farrar, who is clearly the person organizing the call.
Did Dr. Fauci ask you to join the call?
Yes. So this was the cover-up that Fauci was engaged in as he was orchestrating a media blitz to discredit the lab leak theory, despite it being the most likely situation, despite them knowing that it came from a lab.
So these people should be tried for crimes against humanity and executed.
That's what all of this is saying to me.
Is there any dissenting voice out there?
Is there anybody saying, well, no, actually, they released it on purpose.
They created the virus. They released it on purpose.
They covered up where it came from.
They imposed completely baseless restrictions that destroyed the economy, consolidated billions upon billions of dollars out of the hands of the middle class into the hands of the multi-billionaires who use it as an excuse to impose technocratic controls on every level of our society.
And killed many, many more people than the virus ever did with their false vaccines that they rushed through without even testing it.
And they should, what, be castigated?
They should have their finger waved at them?
They should be allowed to retire with the millions of dollars that they made from this?
no they should be tried and executed is that extreme am i being extreme here No, the extreme thing is to let this happen and then do nothing about it.
The most dangerous outcome of all of this is that it happens again because people that did it the first time are still in charge.
That's the real danger here.
We need Nuremberg trials.
We need to see justice from this.
And it doesn't matter if you believe the official story or the so-called conspiracy theories about this.
The outcome is the same because the official story is now at this point that it came from a lab.
The official story is that the measures taken had more negative side effects than any positive outcome.
Nobody on either side is saying that This isn't the case.
The mainstream story now is that it came from a lab.
It was funded gain-of-function research by the NIAID, by EcoHealth Alliance, by the NIH. Dr.
Fauci, Dr.
Francis Collins, Dr.
Deborah Birx, Peter Daszak, created in a lab where it was released.
They then covered that up.
So even if you just believe the official story, You have to understand.
If you really think that COVID was a super dangerous virus that came out of nowhere and killed tens of thousands of people and the vaccine saved everybody, you can even believe that.
You still have to understand that this super deadly dangerous virus was created on purpose and then the response to this virus was hamstrung by the people who knew better lying about it and disguising where it came from to save their own butts.
Because they knew that if people knew it came from a lab, they'd be the ones in charge of it.
They're the ones who are responsible for it.
So to save themselves, they let the rest of the world rile in confusion when they knew exactly where it came from.
They say, do you recall science or evidence that supported the six-foot distancing rule?
Answer, I do not.
Is that I do not recall or I do not see any evidence supporting the six-foot rule?
I do not see evidence, but I'm sure I would have been shown that evidence at some point.
Okay. I was not involved in that conversation.
Okay. Since then, there's been an awfully large topic.
Have you ever seen any evidence then supporting six feet?
No. No, it was completely arbitrary.
It was literally designed as a psychological tool.
Okay. They have said that the six-foot distance rule was decided not because it was scientifically valid, not because it was the minimum necessary distance to stop the spread of the virus.
The people who instituted the six-foot rule decided that 12-foot or 10-foot would be unacceptable to people because it was just unfeasible.
And three feet, people would understand there's no way three feet of distance makes any difference.
So they chose six feet as something that people would accept and adhere to and not question.
It had nothing to do with the science.
You know, I think it doesn't matter.
Of course it matters. People, to this day, get uncomfortable, get nervous being too close to one another.
This is a psychological attack against humanity itself.
So, my God. This is just the latest.
And for words, right again, I mean, I don't know how many times we have to say it.
Kyle Becker goes on, so all these little arrows all over supermarkets and post offices and all other indoor places with signs instructing Americans to stay six feet apart or they would surely catch the virus and die was science-free, fear-mongering, meant to instill in us a sense of hysteria.
This was done for the benefit of big pharma in America's shameless political class, just so you know.
It didn't work on me because it was obvious early on that this was a massive propaganda exercise.
My wife, a brilliant person, marveled at how I was able to see through it all.
But it was easy to see after studying propaganda so much and being hit with childish lies early on, about 15 days to slow the spread and masks work.
They don't.
Those were the big tells.
After that, stuff like six-foot distancing just struck me as ridiculous.
Virus is gonna virus.
The truly dangerous thing is that the majority of Americans were lying to themselves based on fear, based on blind obedience to authority.
That is fascism.
At this point, I really feel bad for people still wearing the masks.
These are psychologically vulnerable people being confused by the world.
They're being bombarded with mixed messages and propaganda.
America now has sickos weaponizing government for their perverse psychological operations, revolting stuff.
Communists act like the lives of human beings are a game to them.
People are things to be manipulated, not equal beings with human rights, free will and dignity.
They're the enemies of humanity.
Yeah, they're the enemies of humanity.
They're the enemies of humanity.
And they're not shy about being enemies of humanity.
They're pretty clear about this.

And Europe is getting it worse than just about anybody else.
Any other... The craziest thing is that any attempt to reverse the suicidal course that we're on...
Oh, by the way, if Bill McGuire doesn't want to kill himself, I want to know who should be killed.
Who should it be that's killed?
Who should be subjected to this pandemic with a very high fatality rate?
I wonder if it's the people who are barely or not even achieving replacement birth rates in Europe and America, or if it's the people who are having a population explosion in the third world right now.
I wonder when he says that we need a human population culling by releasing a pandemic, killing millions or possibly billions of people, who does he want to target?
I wouldn't be in favor of it.
I wouldn't agree with him, but I'd actually have to respect his consistent beliefs if he came out saying, hey, you know, the third world is exploding in population right now.
Human population is what's causing climate change.
We really need to, like, wipe out Africa.
If he said that, it's like, damn, I don't agree with that.
That's still brutal. You're still killing tens of millions of people.
But at least you're consistent with your beliefs.
At least you've really thought about this and have identified where the human population explosion is coming from.
At least you're dealing with this on a strictly scientific, no emotion in it idea.
But that's not what they mean, right?
What they mean is that... We all have to die so that we can revert to a pre-industrial age where we all live in mud huts because that's the only way to save the earth.
These people can't even be consistent or logical or scientific with their beliefs.
They just have an implanted hatred of Christianity and white people in the modern world that they have to couch in concern for environmentalism so they can justify having these despicable views.
If you want to oppose this, you'll be surveilled and possibly eliminated by the government.
Because you're a far right fascist, obviously.
If you oppose the mass killing of billions of people.

Michael Schellenberger, 2021, the U.S. government said it had not weaponized the Army's information warfare unit, the 77th Brigade, against the British people, but it had.
Thus, it lied.
Now, newly released and never-before-reported documents show that the U.K. government mislabeled accurate information as malinformation and sent defamatory misinformation to the U.S. government.
How did the Army get away with it?
According to a new whistleblower from the 77th Brigade, it was by having soldiers pretend that British citizens upon whom they were spying could perhaps be foreigners.
Most disturbing of all, newly obtained minutes from the U.K. government's disinformation board show that senior U.K. officials considered embedding civil servants in social media companies, was that also the intention of the Biden administration's nearly identical named Disinformation Governance Board or the Department of Homeland Security?
Bombshell reporting by at John Herfert from Big Brother Watch.

Thank you.

UK government used Army PSYOPs Division to monitor citizens and then lied about it.
British military officials also spread misinformation to the US, treated citizen victims of their spying as foreigners, and considered embedding government censors within social media companies, which is exactly what they did in the United States because this is a global scheme from a global government who are designing a global takeover and implementing all of these things at their national level, but in exactly the same form and function.
InfoWars has this story, Parallel.
to the previous UK disinformation unit minutes reveal consideration of placing government employees inside social media companies newly released minutes from the UK government's counter disinformation unit governing board the disinformation board provide further evidence of the authorities direct involvement in monitoring online speech during the pandemic but also flagging it for removal but even this wasn't enough for the CDU which in 2023 after several years of criticism and scrutiny by some media and privacy groups got rebranded as the national security online information team It's about national security now.
One of the moves considered by top UK officials was to embed civil servants in companies running social platforms.
It remains unclear if this was done in fact, writes Big Brother Watch's Jake Herford for Public.
CDU was only one building block of the UK's...
COVID-era censorship effort, several military units were enlisted to participate as well, most notably and controversially the 77th Brigade, whose job is supposed to be spreading misinformation and in general finding its PSYOP targets abroad, not at home.
So the government is engaged in psychological operations against their own people.
And I've said it a million times, but it wouldn't even be that big of a deal if this was actually stopping crime.
Because you've got to remember that at the same time that they're implementing disinformation controls and claiming that British citizens are actually foreign to give them the right to spy on, surveil, and censor thought that they disagree with.
At that same time, you have Muslim rape gangs who actually are foreigners inside the UK raping tens of thousands systematically in cooperation with the British government.
British girls, raping them by the tens if not hundreds of thousands.
That goes unimpeded, uncontained, uncontested.
While simultaneously they have the overwhelming authority and power and will to silence you for speaking out against COVID. It's not that we just can't deal with the problems that we have.
It's that the problems that we have are on purpose, by design, orchestrated to be the case.
The reason they're letting in millions of Muslim men is because they rape white girls.
It's not an accident.
It's not a side effect.
That's why. If they were upstanding members of society that cared about freedom and justice and all the things that the West is supposed to stand for, they never would have made it past the channel.
It's all on purpose. Of course, it's happening in America as well.
In leaked email, FBI officials encourage agents to use warrantless wiretaps on Americans.
A senior FBI official reportedly advised his agents to use the agency's warrantless surveillance authority against targets on American soil.
This is going to Wired, who obtained internal emails in which Paul Abbate, a deputy director of the FBI, pressed its We're good to go.
As long as one of the parties in the communications being surveilled is reasonably believed to be a non-citizen situated outside the U.S., U.S. government agencies can compel American companies to intercept communications without a search warrant.
And now they're using that to spy on Americans, because obviously, because that was the point.
Again, it never would have passed if that wasn't how it was going to be used.
While German court rules that the state can spy on the extremist alternative for Germany, AFD, We're good to go.
Saying there is sufficient evidence that proves the AFD pursues goals that run against the human dignity of certain groups and against democracy.
Yeah, they're too popular.
They're the most popular party in Germany, and that's a threat to democracy.
So now they have to be spied on and treated as extremists.
And of course, that's the media and the government giving the fodder needed to the extremists to actually target AFD. Who they really want running the country are people like this gay German political candidate faces backlash after releasing videos of himself smearing feces-covered anal dildo on Koran and licking public toilet seats.
Yeah, good morning, folks.
Good morning. This is the world we live in.
Wake up. Wake up, folks.
If you're not... Licking the filthy urinals in train stations, you're an extremist.
You're practically a fascist.
And we know this is the way that the most horrific and disgusting things have been justified ever since World War II. Why did the German government send orphaned boys or why did in some cases they take little children away from their parents to give them to known pedophiles to keep them as sex slaves underage?
Well, because to not do that would be fascism.
Because sexual morality is a key component of fascism.
So to fight fascism, we have to let men dress up as dogs and assault your children on city streets.
He released this video by himself.
You get that, right? This guy didn't get caught doing this.
He is releasing himself, and our television viewers are watching, a grown man, a government representative, a politician in Germany, licking dirty toilet seats in public restrooms inside gas stations.
There he's licking the brush used to clean the toilets.
Yeah, vote for him, or else you're a fascist.
If you oppose that, you might be an extremist.
You might have to be surveilled by the government.
They might have to take action against you to stop you from being such a crazy conspiracy theorist for thinking that this type of degenerate sexual immorality is bad.
You have to think it's good.
You have to celebrate it. And frankly, if he was wearing a rainbow flag, you might as well be president.

Welcome back, folks.
harrison smith
We're about to hear phone calls to hear this segment.
There's just so much more to cover.
Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston struck by a barge causing portion to collapse.
Can't say I've ever heard of a boat hitting a barge until this year and there's been like six.
Massive ocean found under 700 kilometers beneath Earth's surface.
An ocean vaster than all the water on Earth's surface combined hidden 700 kilometers beneath our feet.
That's the mind-boggling discovery scientists at Northwestern University have unveiled shaking our understanding of where Earth's water comes from.
Pretty incredible. This discovery completely rewrites our understanding of Earth's water cycle.
It suggests water isn't just a surface phenomenon, but potentially exists within the mantle, migrating through cracks and crevices.
Jacobson emphasizes that the importance of this reservoir, stating without this internal water source, Earth's surface would likely be a barren landscape with only mountain peaks peeking out from a vast ocean.
The implications are far-reaching.
Scientists are now eager to gather seismic data worldwide to see if this hidden ocean is a global phenomenon, could revolutionize our understanding of how water moves within our planet, a fundamental process shaping Earth's history and potentially influencing the existence of life.
Pretty incredible stuff.
We can talk about Ukraine.
We can talk about Israel or the suddenly reversing trajectory of vaccine requirements.
As they admit that the vaccine didn't help anybody.
Long story short, InfoWars was right the entire time.
If you're confused at how the people in charge can be so smart but so wrong all the time, it's pretty obvious.
They're evil. They're evil.
They know what they're doing, and they're doing it on purpose.
That's all. Let's go out to the calls now.
Tim in California wants to talk about the degradation of San Francisco being worse than I even think.
Go ahead, Tim. You're on the air.
tim in california
Well, thank you, Tim.
Harrison, you know, you showed scenes there from the real Hollywood.
And the Hoover Institution back on March 26, you know, Hoover.org, they reported, hey, California had a hundred billion dollars surplus, and now California faces a 73 billion dollar budget deficit.
So the question is, how can you go from a hundred billion dollars above the whole $73 billion below the hole in such a short period of time.
By the way, keep in mind, folks, this is all taxpayer money.
San Francisco doesn't manufacture Frisbees and sell them all over the planet to provide all this money they fool around with.
Anyways, San Francisco, don't worry, helps on its way.
Turns out the government of San Francisco in the last four years has given away $5 million each and every year for a total of $20 million in free beer, wine, and vodka shots to homeless folks.
Just kind of keep them dulled down and under control and so forth.
And then let's come down to the L.A. area.
Just yesterday, Mayor Karen Bass had to publicly acknowledge that she no longer thinks that our city's Metro system is safe, and that's on account of we're getting like three stabbings and shootings and whatever every day.
Even on Ventura Boulevard in Encino yesterday, a guy attacked somebody on a bus with a pair of pliers to get their cell phone.
harrison smith
You know, it's not even that spending $173 billion...
Is unexpected or, I mean, it's an insane amount of money.
I mean, when you talk about $5 million a year for five years, $25 million, I mean, that is a fraction of a fraction of the amount of money that we're talking about, right?
Just to put it in perspective, imagine what you could do with $5 million.
Now imagine that's just a rounding error on the amount of money that we're talking about.
It's not that spending $173 billion is some big deal.
It's that you spend $173 billion and everything gets worse.
That's the point, right?
If they spent $173 billion and they had high-speed rail and the streets were clean and the infrastructure was fixed up and the elementary schools were...
Pumping out geniuses.
That would be one thing.
They spent $173 billion in a few years, and everything is worse.
By every metric, everywhere you look, every possible thing you can measure is significantly worse.
So that's the real astonishing part, isn't it, Tim?
tim in california
Well, and even just recently, we had this story I don't have in front of me now, but they celebrated spending 11 years and all these billions of dollars, and what they accomplished was 1,600 feet of the rail that they were going to build, this high-speed rail. It was supposed to be a bridge, but...
I mean, it's just tens of billions of dollars, more than a decade of time, for this high-speed rail and the 1,600 feet that they bragged about.
You can walk that much in five minutes.
harrison smith
It's all just criminal. It's all just ridiculously criminal.
I mean, I have a video of California being asked about this, but it's two minutes long.
We don't need to go to the whole thing because they explained what the problem was.
It was climate change. Climate change is why they went from $100 billion surplus to a $73 billion deficit.
It's because of the weather, Tim.
It's because climate change, according to Gavin Newsom.
So they aren't just robbing you blind.
They're treating you like you're idiots on top of it.
It's... I'm sorry to say it.
Retarded. It's all retarded if you believe this stuff, if you actually vote for these people.
If you don't realize how you as a liberal in California, if you are a liberal voting in California for these policies, it's your fault entirely.
You're making everything worse for everybody.
You need to stop.
You need to be stopped if you can't stop yourself.
Thank you for the call, Tim. Let's go to Hobbs in Nebraska.
Also wants to talk about the dystopian hellhole of San Francisco.
Hobbs, thanks for calling in.
You're on the air. Hey, good morning, Anderson.
hobbs in nebraska
Good morning, Info Warriors. It's your boy, Hobbs, from Roads to Liberty, as usual.
Yeah, it's not just San Francisco, but it's everything.
And the main question you were asking, and you kind of answered it, You're like, why?
Why is this happening?
It's the anarcho-tyranny.
And you can take this principle and you can apply it to literally everything that's going on.
The fiscal graft and incompetence, the military unreadiness, the targeted persecution by our law enforcement agencies, There's utter idiocy involved at every single level of our government, from every institution, in both political parties.
Everything can be attributed to the fact that they want us to lose all faith and confidence.
You know, the FBI is not targeting soccer moms because they want to target soccer moms at PTA meetings.
They're targeting soccer moms because they want us to lose faith in the institution.
The military and the CIA and the FBI are not recruiting Blue-haired, genderqueer weirdos because they want those types of people in their ranks.
They are recruiting those types of people because they want to drive people like me out of the rags or make sure that people like me don't enlist at all.
The reason that they have such incompetence fiscally is because they want us to lose faith in all of our institutions and their ability to accomplish even the simplest tasks of government.
And the reason that they want us to lose the faith in government is because when the collapse happens and it's time to think up something new, which is actually just something old, i.e.
Marxism, Then people won't resist it.
People won't try to do America again, because they will think that the incompetence and the graft and the social degradation and the drug abuse and everything that's going wrong is a problem that is inherently baked into the system of free, open societies and self-governance.
Before the collapse has to happen, we have to be black-pilled on the idea of the American experiment.
harrison smith
I think you're exactly right, Hobbs.
I think you put it extremely well.
I got nothing to add to that because I think you are exactly right.
I just really have nothing to add.
All I can say is that InfoWars has always believed in the American way.
InfoWars has always promoted what we know to be true, that if you actually don't disrupt and obscure and distort the promise of America, we can succeed.
We can have a beautiful country.
We had one once. It was nice.
It was safe.
It was pleasant. It was free.
It was strong. It was powerful.
It was prosperous. Small businesses, middle class, that existed.
And that's another part of it is they want you to believe that that never actually existed.
The thing you're seeing on your screen right now on the left, that was made up.
That must have been AI generated because there's no way that a society existed that was clean and pleasant and safe.
It all was disgusting, so it all has to be destroyed.
Hobbs on the point there. All right, we'll go back after your calls momentarily.
Before I do, I just want to just take a moment to realize where we are at this point.
It's not so long ago.
Even, I guess, up till now.
I mean, people will still tell you that chemtrails are a conspiracy theory.
In fact, let's test that out, shall we?
I'm just going to search chemtrails on Google.
Let's see what it says.
Chemtrails conspiracy theory.
The Chemtrail conspiracy theory is the erroneous belief that long-lasting condensation trails left in the sky by high-flying aircraft are actually chemtrails consisting of chemicals or biological agents sprayed for nefarious purposes and undisclosed to the general public.
Wikipedia, Chemtrail conspiracy theory.
Chemtrail conspiracy theory.
Chemtrail bill described as nonsense.
Chemtrail's debunked.
Just, yeah, so everybody knows, right, the Kim Trails are a conspiracy theory.
They're totally fake and not real, unless, of course, you watch the local news, in which case they're celebrating them.
Let's go to clip number four now, shall we?
unidentified
There are currently 42 cloud seeding projects across the American West, like this one in Utah, where they take planes like this with flares attached.
They fly right into the storm and send microscopic particles into the cloud.
Particles that act like magnets for water droplets, bonding together until they are heavy enough to fall to the ground as rain or snow.
At the University of Colorado, researchers are working on artificial intelligence to deploy cloud seeding drones.
And it's not just cloud seeding from the sky.
There are hundreds of those things.
That shack you see in the foreground is a ground-based cloud seeder.
The little flame coming out is sending tiny silver iodide particles up into the sky.
When a storm comes through, they go up to 2,000 feet above our head, into the storm, up those mountains, and make more snow than it naturally would.
While cloud seeding has been helping get every last drop out of some of the driest years on record, this past winter, Mother Nature came through.
The Southern Rockies, which feed the Colorado River, got more than four times their average snow.
But experts say it's still not enough.
As much as cloud seeding is a boost or a help, it's not a solution.
The main solution is...
Conservation. Cloud seeding is most successful in wet years, so this was a huge winter for them.
They actually stopped early because Mother Nature was giving up so much.
Now, studies have shown that the environmental impacts from the silver iodide on the current scale, there are no impacts to snow or rain also downstream, so it doesn't impact, you know, the other weather.
They do anticipate at least 200 more ground cloud seeders in the future, and the federal government has committed $2.6 million to seeding.
Back to you, Gio and Eva.
harrison smith
Yeah, so, you know, the federal government's dedicated $2 million to chemtrails, but their conspiracy theory don't exist, okay?
Just so we're clear.
Don't believe your lying eyes.
War is peace. Let's go out to your phone calls now.
We'll go to Johnny in Tulsa now.
Johnny, thanks for calling in from Tulsa on Line 7.
You're on the air about the history of the Middle East.
unidentified
I had a great show, great callers you got, and products.
What I wanted to talk about was that BELFOR agreement after World War I. They agreed how to split that back up into individual countries, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, blah, blah, blah.
But anyway... And they went to herding the Jews out of there, give up their property.
They used to be all over the Middle East like Christians.
But anyway, I don't hear much about that or the oil and gas pipelines that they were going to run to Europe and Britain didn't want them.
But I don't want to get too far in the woods.
I just want that to mention that, hell, these guys, a lot of people realize we're just being played for suckers, and we don't want none of those Bedouin Arabs over here.
Saudi Arabia should have took them, Jordan, Egypt, blah, blah, blah.
But anyway, I had to go to the emergency room yesterday.
I had a nail on my foot still.
But anyway, yeah, it's alive, the nerve.
But anyway, all those medical technicians, I haven't changed.
They're still buying all that crap, but they know who Infowars is now.
They know who Dr. Peter McCullough, Michael Yeadon, and...
Maybe they'll figure out that scroll bar or the category deal at the top of InfoWars and scroll over to go to health.
And you guys have listed all the stories in there to where anybody can pull ammo out of there or ammo that they're interested in.
And share it. And, you know, a lot of people with blinders on, I mean, my God, they just went through a four-year biological attack.
harrison smith
And they don't even know. And they're ready for the next one.
They don't even know. Yeah, and they're all in masks.
I know. It is really pathetic, honestly.
It's disheartening, I have to say.
The people who see the attack most clearly can't seem to put two and two together to see what actually happened to them.
unidentified
Religious people I know and like, they were warned before this, but the church went along with allowing their congregation, you know, they're supposed to be herding, you know, controlling the herd or whatever, recommended, and they went right along with it.
So it's like, I don't know, but I'm going to let other callers call because I don't know this foot's a problem.
harrison smith
Thank you, Harrison. Well, yeah, I hope your foot's all right, man.
That doesn't sound good, but thank you for hopefully or at least attempting to open the eyes of the people at the hospital who are in the heart of the storm but can't seem to notice what's going on around them.
It's really pathetic that's the case.
It's going to take normal people like Johnny from Tulsa just to wake them up and go, hey, maybe you should go check out things that aren't Spoon fed to you.
Maybe you should do your own research just a little bit.
Just a modicum. Just like a tiny bit.
Think for yourself and the whole structure will collapse around you.
I guess that's the scary part.
Let's go to JD in Indiana because you want to talk about the dystopia that America has become.
JD, you're on the air. Hey, Harrison.
How's your morning going? It's all right, man.
How's yours? It's all right, man.
unidentified
I just wanted to talk about, man, something that I think a point That people are missing about why San Francisco and everything across the country is so bad.
And I take a quote from that movie, that Morton Scorsese movie, where he says, when you kill a king, you have to do it in front of the courts so everyone sees them fall, right?
And that's so that way nobody ever tries to achieve what America has tried.
And so they have to make it look bad on every single point.
That's the reason why the military looks bad.
That's the reason why the cities look bad.
That's the reason why your churches look bad.
That's the reason why your kids are bad.
That's the reason why. Because they took where I grew up in the middle of the project and they exported it to everywhere.
That's the reason why in the middle of the country you can go out there and see some little kid with a flag hanging out of his back pocket acting ghetto as crap.
Because they had to do this so that way when the rest of the world says, oh, well, we want to be free like America was, well, look what they did.
That's what you want? No, no, no.
We're the better choice.
Stick with us. And I think that that's what you see going on in America today.
That's the reason why they have to collapse it.
Because at the end of the day, we're a house that has already been sold.
And China's really getting tired of the bugs in their house.
And I think they just want to get rid of us.
harrison smith
Yeah, and look, you just have to look at what China's been able to achieve over the last 20 years.
And it's not because they figured something out that we don't know.
It's not because America just decided one day to not be successful and prosperous.
Because people at the very top sold us out.
People at the very top paid for and lobbied for the restrictions to small businesses and restrictions to American industry and manufacturing that made it infeasible to continue to build things here.
So everything was offshore to China.
So they were suddenly the benefits of billions upon billions of American dollars being paid to companies housed in communist China.
And now their cities are clean and nice and beautiful and amazing looking.
And I mean, you can see the...
Video after video of what Chinese cities look like now.
All the buildings are lit up in neon.
Everybody looks healthy.
Everybody looks nice. It's not because America has something that we don't.
It's because the people in charge of America decided that America had achieved its purpose, had been used as much as it could be used, and now they're destroying it before they leave.
They're moving the center of control.
More eastward and destroying America as they evacuate.
It's not really all that complicated.
It's pretty simple how they're doing it.
Actually, it's just as evil as you can possibly imagine.
It really is.
unidentified
Trying to and then using shots to experiment on us.
Absolutely. I think that they're only doing that.
So that way, once again, like Alex always says, it's life extension technology.
And if they don't experiment on all of us, to create this biomass so that way they can achieve some kind of bio android to live forever to plug themselves into.
They have to crush any simulance of freedom.
So if we achieve anything, any type of art, any type of beauty, any type of anything, and so when you have an entire culture like America that's a beautiful melting pot of all different cultures that work together and coincide, you can't have that because that AI system and the end goal would have to then compete with that, and they know they couldn't win.
They couldn't beat that because they couldn't create such a beautiful society as what we can create, being free, being prosperous, and having an unchained capitalist system that empowers people locally to create their own environments in their own ecosystems.
harrison smith
Well, brilliantly said, J.D. It's Harrison Bergeron, right?
It's the beautiful and the strong and the creative and the powerful have to be weighed down.
They have to be destroyed so that the degenerate filth can rise to the top.
jon bowne
It's on purpose. Americans know in their gut that the despotism demonically possessing the federal government is only getting started.
According to the FBI, Chinese hackers have prepared a barrage of imminent strikes on critical US infrastructure.
unidentified
The purpose of the hacking was not to gather intelligence.
The purpose was to install malware that once activated would disrupt or damage the infrastructure.
jon bowne
Meanwhile, the effects of China's biological warfare via COVID-19 and the resulting now blatant evidence of a genocidal vaccine rollout of epic proportions enters a new chapter.
unidentified
The Australian Bureau of Statistics is a statistical agency.
It, see, it shows, its own figures now show around about 26,000 deaths, excess deaths for 2022, and no one is asking why.
Another conspiracy theory becomes reality as AstraZeneca is now pulling its COVID vaccine from the market.
alex jones
They know exactly what they're doing, and it is self-assembling Nanotech in the body, and we were finding this stuff decades ago, but right when they rolled out the COVID hysteria four years ago, we had all the literature, and they were keeping secret what was in the Pfizer shots and the Moderna shots and the rest of it.
But whistleblowers actually released, it's later been confirmed, what was in it, and it was a giant test.
They were changing thousands of times at Moderna and Pfizer run by the Pentagon.
They were just front companies. What they were putting in it, they were testing all sorts of stuff.
Ebola, Marburg, all sorts of bird flesh.
jon bowne
As Natural News reports, world-renowned Belgian virologist Dr.
Geert van den Bosch predicted a soon-coming massive tsunami of illness and death among those who got vaccinated, unleashing a wave of long COVID that will overwhelm the healthcare sector, not to mention the economy-wide impact in terms of eventual total economic failure and social chaos.
unidentified
The truth will surface.
This has been a large-scale experiment of gain of function On the very human population.
jon bowne
As the lights are turned on and the vaccine roaches are scurrying, the panic goes live and the big guns are put into play.
As Adan Salazar reported, a top meteorologist is warning government weather modification could unintentionally spark conflicts between nations where weather would be used in warfare among countries.
unidentified
Floods, droughts and wildfires last year were just a preview of what is to come.
jon bowne
According to Kister's senior meteorologist, John Jacques, the cloud-seeding debacle that precipitated the Dubai floods should serve as a reminder that government influence on the weather can lead to consequences that aren't fully predictable.
Jacques says if we're not careful, unrestrained use of this technology could end up causing diplomatic instabilities with neighboring countries engaging in tit-for-tat weather wars.
Meanwhile, the next plandemic begins to rear its ugly head.
unidentified
You say the next pandemic, there will be another pandemic.
Absolutely. We don't know when.
You know, the risk per year, 2%, 3%.
Do we have the capability to ensure that we don't see another pandemic, the like of which we saw while you were leading the World Health Organization?
jon bowne
Yeah. Virologists explained that H5N1, or bird flu, has mutated and can now spread more easily among mammals.
They also warned that an outbreak in the human population could be 100 times worse than COVID-19, and a bird flu pandemic could kill 50% of those infected.
unidentified
That virus now evolves and develops the ability to infect humans and then critically the ability to go from human to human transmission.
And we know that in the rare cases, I think off the top of my head, four or five hundred cases so far of humans, the mortality rate is extraordinarily high.
jon bowne
And as the Chinese develop weaponized Ebola, giving a group of hamsters distinct secretions in their eyes, a scabbing over the eyeballs, it ensures that if unleashed in the Western world, we will know where it came from.
Meanwhile, the PrEP Act has been quietly updated to include Ebola and Marburg disease.
Add to that the Soros-funded Communist College jackbooting summer awaiting us, incoming CBDCs, nuclear war on a hair trigger, Uniparty-backed Orwellian speech laws, and Biden's illegal voting bloc leading up to an unprecedented presidential election.
All hell is gonna break loose.

harrison smith
Ladies and gentlemen, this is The American Journal.
I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
My guest today is Oren McIntyre.
He is the host of The Oren McIntyre Show on Blaze TV and the author of The Total State, How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies.
You can find him on X and YouTube at Oren McIntyre.
And the book, again, is The Total State, How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies.
Oren, thank you so much for joining us today.
Thanks for having me. It's my pleasure.
My honor, actually. I have to say, your Twitter account, if people listening to this aren't following you on Twitter, they're making a big mistake.
Got to be one of the top three Twitter accounts in my feed.
You tend to have the right view on just about everything.
I tend to agree with what you post on just about everything.
So I've been wanting to get you on for a while.
And of course, your book is out now, and I'm very excited to read it.
The Total State, How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies.
Just give us a breakdown as to what compelled you to write this book and what lies at the heart of what can be found in this book.
unidentified
Well, I think like a lot of people, I grew up as a talk radio conservative listening to Rush Limbaugh.
I went ahead and, you know, took my civics classes and learned about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and separation of powers and all these things that were going to prevent tyranny in the United States.
And then in 2016, I was working as a political reporter.
I saw the way that Trump was treated, the way that things were spun in these different media events.
And then in 2020, obviously everything happened with the pandemic.
And I was like, okay, obviously none of this is true.
The government is not being restricted.
Tyranny has come anyway.
The churches are closed.
The strip clubs are open.
We're not allowed to go to the funerals of our loved ones, but the Democrats are allowed to riot in the streets.
And I need to understand how power really worked in the United States.
And so the total state is really a story of my intellectual journey as I try to understand what happened leading up to 2020 and how we can hopefully address it.
harrison smith
Well, and there's a bizarre aspect to the tyranny that we're facing now, which a lot of people put the label anarcho-tyranny on, which I think is exactly right.
It's the idea that tyranny by itself is bad enough, but if we had a tyranny that actually tyrannized criminals and actually kept up the things that we believe in, it wouldn't be as bad as what we have now, which is tyranny only against upright, decent, moral people that are trying to which is tyranny only against upright, decent, moral people that are trying to do right, where the criminals and the drug addicts and the abusers and et cetera, et cetera, they get a free pass to do
I always like to make the point that if it was just total anarchy, I'd kind of be fine because then if somebody broke into my house, I'd shoot them and bury them in the backyard and there'd be no government to tell me not to.
But right now what we have is the criminal will get let go to break into your house.
And then if you respond, you'll be the one thrown in jail.
You'll be the one on trial for your life.
Is anarcho-tyranny an aspect of your book?
And how does the tyranny in America today differ from tyrannies as we know them in history?
unidentified
Yeah, you would hope if we got a tyrannical government, at least we get like a bukele that puts all the drug dealers in jail, right?
Locks them all up. But instead, we end up in exactly the system you're talking about, where good people are constantly harassed, surveilled, put under the thumb of the government, but criminals run free.
And really what we look at is, throughout history, we see things like Nazi Germany or Soviet Union.
And these are the classic totalitarian states that we think of with the jackboots and the gulags and this kind of stuff.
But in the United States, we got a far more interesting version of a tyrannical government.
It slowly developed around these different aspects of soft power when it comes to things like electronic baking, constant surveillance, social media, the constant propaganda that we receive from the government, media, academia, other institutions.
There's more of this idea that we can constantly socially engineer and nudge everyone.
But of course, the only people who can be manipulated this way are really the law-abiding citizens who are following the rules.
The criminals don't care about any of this stuff.
And so what happens is the law-abiding people are the ones who are constantly harassed, constantly surveilled, constantly propagandized, while those that would break the law wantonly pay no real cost.
harrison smith
Yeah, and we see that even examples like Nia Bukele were just shown on screen there, you know, what it looks like when you actually round up the criminals.
And it can be not just...
Swift, but extremely effective the way that we've seen this happen in El Salvador.
And yet we see article after article from mainstream media outlets here decrying this and saying what a bad idea this is and how horrible this is.
But this is what we want.
And I'm sort of struggling now.
I don't know if you are too, but I always relate it back to the Hippocratic Oath where they say, you know, avoid the twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism, We're good to go.
Because part of me is just going, hey, you know what?
As long as they clean up the streets, I just want my kid to be able to go to the park and not step on a used needle.
I just want to be able to leave my door unlocked and not have to worry about coming home and finding the place ransacked.
How do you fall on this?
And is there any part of you that goes, you know what?
Maybe this whole freedom thing is a little bit overblown.
Maybe we just need safe streets once and for all.
Any comment on that?
unidentified
Well, in the book, I talk about the difference between lions and foxes, which are the two core personalities in any ruling class.
And ideally, you have a nice mix of both.
The lions are the patriotic, martial, law-abiding people.
They're the people who are involved in the military, in criminal justice, these kind of things.
They're the people who forge out in the wilderness and create a society.
And then you have foxes, and foxes are the ones that manipulate things, they control things behind the scenes, they work on things, they combine things, they come up with new things.
And normally, like I said, you would have a good mix of these.
But what has happened is we have shifted entirely away from lions and entirely towards foxes.
And that means that we are constantly propagandized.
We're constantly socially engineered.
We have all these experts that constantly want to tweak little things.
But it's all soft power.
They don't know how to use hard power.
And they're scared of it.
So they don't use any of the things that would keep our streets safe.
They're terrified to actually put any criminals in jail.
It's always something is racist or bigotry.
You can't there's always some excuse as to why you can't actually have law and order.
So ideally, our citizens would find a balance between these two leadership classes.
But we're in a serious crisis because so much of the West has moved entirely to this Fox mode of government.
So when you see someone like Bacchia Lee come in with that lion style, you say, man, I wish I could get me some of that order.
harrison smith
Yeah, absolutely.
And it's, you know, it's one thing to understand that there are going to be bad people out there that are going to try to take advantage of things.
I get that. That's a part of human nature.
It's then when I see the Republicans or the people that have put themselves up as lions completely fail to do anything that really I just, I want to lose up hope.
I want to go to that other end of the spectrum, which is just the black pill.
Just, you know what, it's hopeless because even the people that we work so hard to get in We take the slings and arrows, but we do it.
We achieve it. They get into office, and then they just fold like a cheap house of cards.
Is there a solution here?
Does your book have a solution?
I'm desperate for something that can set us back on the right track, because I've seen my faith in the Republican establishment, as it were.
As small as it was, it's gone now.
I mean, I've got no faith that we can vote our way out of this, really, unless we get Trump in and he does something miraculous.
But that's a...
That's a wish, right? That's just, that's a hope without much substance behind it.
Is there a way out of this?
unidentified
I mean, what do we do here? Well, my argument in the book is that ultimately what we're running into is a systemic issue.
We have ordered society too widely, too abstractly.
We have created these massive bureaucratic institutions that have pulled us away and allowed us to create these vast global empires with amazing material wealth and all kinds of things that we enjoy in the modern day.
But it has dehumanized us and made it very difficult for us to live in organic communities where we can Pursue virtue and find meaning.
And many of our troubles come not from the lack of some specific constitutional amendment, but from adopting a way of life that we were simply never meant to have.
We were never meant to build the Tower of Babel, and we shouldn't be surprised when it starts to fall down.
So I do think there is an answer to this.
I think eventually these systems do fail, and that can be scary, but the good news is that in the meantime, we can build those resilient, robust local organizations and institutions and communities That allow us to protect ourselves and our families and our loved ones from this kind of tyranny.
I think the only way that we can combat the total state is to take back our lives, take back our responsibilities, and most importantly, take back our duties that we have handed off to the government and reestablish our control and our local virtue over our community.
harrison smith
So sort of a decentralized resistance to deal with the decentralized tyranny, because that's what we're facing right now, isn't it?
I know Alex calls it like the many-headed hydra or the death by a thousand cuts.
It's this idea that it's not just the government, it's not just this top-down singular force directing everything beneath it, but it's these 10,000 nodes of control that are all working in tandem without even necessarily communicating with each other.
So it is almost an unspoken conspiracy between them.
Do I have that right?
I mean, is that what we're dealing with here?
That's certainly what it feels like to me is you've got people working in coordination in concert without ever even having to communicate with each other.
It's almost like they have a mind meld where they're just a swarm.
They just know what to do and when to do it.
And I don't know how we combat that exactly.
unidentified
Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
The title from the total state is really about exactly this fact that the government has grown well beyond the official first three articles in the Constitution, all the things that the framers attempted to restrain with the divisions of powers and checks and balances.
And has moved into all kinds of other non-government organizations.
So it's become a key thing that the media and academia and giant corporations and globalist NGOs team up with things like the deep state, and they are allowed to do all this stuff without any restrictions.
There is a level of coordination.
Obviously, we know from things like the Twitter files that the CIA and the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI talk to things like social media to coordinate censorship.
But there is also a large degree, as you say, of uncoordinated coordination, like an decentralized coordination where these guys work together.
And the reason is that they all share the same worldview.
They all have the same system and beliefs because they are all part of the same class.
A managerial class that is trained in American universities is given this religion of progressive humanism, and that tells them how they should behave in any given environment.
Curtis Yarvin calls this the cathedral.
I know many people have different names for it, but the point is that ultimately this is a decentralized atheistic theocracy.
These people are all singing from the same hymn sheet.
They are all using the same set of morals in the same way that people who attended the cathedral in the Middle Ages used the same set of morals.
We don't need to explain the coordination of society in medieval Europe because, well, they all believed in Christianity.
And so, of course, the Bible and Christian teaching would be the thing that they referred to whenever they made a decision.
The same is now true of our secular globalist elites.
They are referring back to their belief in progressive liberal humanism And that's why it seems like they are constantly coordinating, even when sometimes there is no centralized organ doing that.
harrison smith
Yeah, they just know exactly what to do.
And I've made that same argument that, I mean, these things, it has all of the characteristics of a religion.
It is a moral framework that is separate and distinct than the moral framework that America was founded on.
And yet it's not treated like a religion.
It's treated as tolerance.
It's treated as just being a kind human being.
And we were covering the day before yesterday, the Girl Scouts.
If you look at the Girl Scout, you know, manifesto now, what they say they're all about, it's all about LGBTQIA plus inclusion and anti-racism and anti-oppression.
And so it's like everything has gone fully over into this religion.
I mean, they are now proselytizing for this religion.
They are now adherents and extremists for this religion, yet they don't even treat it like a religion.
Maybe if we just designate it as a religion and put it under the controls of the First Amendment and say you don't get preference, because right now it's getting overwhelming preference.
There's also the—because you said this, your latest tweet, in the total state there's only one faith, and this is about— A speech that was made by an NFL player, and we can either go to that video now or we can save it for the next segment, but I've noticed this too.
Is there, I mean, and how do you fight back against this?
How do you wake people up to realize that this religion is taking over?
Because I just think of the average boomer out there that they just have no idea why 25% of kids are gay now.
It's just, it just happened, and they just have no idea.
They don't get that it's a religion that's making its way into our control system.
Can you explain that a little bit, this religion of What's it a religion of?
unidentified
I don't even get it. Well, progressive secular humanism is kind of like a super predator.
Look, power always wants to find a way to get around restrictions.
And so what's happened is there's always going to be a worldview.
There's always going to be some guiding principle that decides how we're going to organize society.
But when we separated church from state in the United States and in many Western nations, what we did was unofficially ban Christianity from participating in politics.
Well, the need for worldview didn't just vanish, and instead what happened is we got this progressive secular humanism that grew and morphed into its own version of a religion.
It doesn't have a holy book.
It doesn't have a declared deity.
And so therefore, it's not treated as one.
And that means it gets a monopoly in all of our institutions.
You can't teach Christianity.
You can't teach Islam in the public school, mostly.
But you can always teach secular humanism, progressive liberalism.
You can always treat that as your overarching moral code.
And so that's what we see in everything, businesses, educational institutions, government organizations, non-government organizations.
This is the only moral frame that is allowed.
What we have to do is discard the idea that we can have neutral institutions.
There is no such thing as moral neutrality.
Every civilization, the thing that makes a civilization what it is, is it being bound by a moral vision.
We have to share a basic axiomatic understanding of right and wrong and who we are and where we are going.
And that can't be up for debate and it can't be something that we pretend doesn't exist.
As long as we continue to hold this false liberal notion that there's this open neutral marketplace and any idea can come in and fight for it and the best idea will win, we will continue to lose to people who understand that they need a monopoly on what can be believed and what morality can be enforced.
harrison smith
Yeah, you know, what it makes me think of is people—I'm for homeschooling because I think it's a great alternative.
I understand why you would not want to send your kids to public school.
I get that. But then part of me goes, well, now you're just surrendering the ground to your enemies.
You know, people go, well, the public schools are messed up.
They're teaching things I don't believe, so I'm getting my kid out of there.
To me, the correct response is go, no, I want these public schools teaching the things I believe.
I'm actually going to get more involved now, and I'm going to force them to adhere to my belief system, not somebody else's.
Do you think that the whole individualism aspect of the right wing in America has been a handicap, has been a detriment to our ability to resist this, that people are more likely just to withdraw from society when it turns against them rather than fight back?
What do you think the problem or solution is there?
unidentified
Yeah, that's exactly right.
We've been sold this idea that individualism is the solution to everything.
And look, ultimately, I am for smaller government, but not on some principle of, oh, smaller government is my religion, and that's the ultimate good.
The reason I'm for smaller government is it allows for other social spheres to compete with the power of the state, the church, the family, the tribe, the religion.
All these things have to be pushing back.
The state has never actually held in check by some piece of paper.
Sorry, guys, but the words in the Constitution do not themselves create some kind of magical binding spell that holds the government in place.
And the founders knew this.
They told us that the Constitution was only ever made for moral and religious people.
And as we handed our duties and our responsibilities to our family and our community off to the state, we ended up also handing it power.
So yeah, now a lot of the power is in the state.
But guess what? For most of human history, Individuals, not individuals, but families taught their children.
It was a local thing that you brought people together and you educated your children.
It's not something you handed off to some abstract, giant institution called the state.
And if you continue to hand those duties, care of your parents, care of your neighbor, care of your children, off to the state, you can't be surprised when they end up taking power.
But the answer is not individualism.
It's not every person being their own atomized, singular person.
It's us binding ourselves back into organic communities and collectives, the kind of virtuous communities that Aristotle talked about.
It's the only place that we can actually practice virtue, and it's only through virtue that we can actually obtain liberty from the total state.
harrison smith
Well, very brilliantly said.
Again, my guest is Oren McIntyre.
You can find him on YouTube and X at Oren McIntyre's book is The Total State, How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies.
And there's something you said earlier that made me think of this, and I want to get your thoughts on it.
It's that now it's almost like revelation is not enough.
Like it used to be that info wars and in sort of conspiracy theory outlets, we'd have to do research and we'd come up with, OK, here's what we think is going on.
We present this and some people believe it.
Some people wouldn't.
Now they're just doing it.
It's just out in the open.
We even have Fareed Zakaria on CNN saying, yeah, Trump would have never been brought up on these charges if his name wasn't Donald Trump.
And so like this is one thing I don't know how to deal with.
We reveal to people the lines that are being crossed, the violations of our most fundamental principles and nothing happens and no one's punished and nobody's held to account and nobody's even outraged, it seems.
So it's like, again, it's another sort of blackpilling thing for me that goes, I can tell people, just show them verbatim from the horse's mouth, here's the tyranny that's happening, and nobody cares.
Like, how do we deal with this?
How do we deal with a situation where revelation of this tyranny is not enough to get people to do anything about it?
unidentified
Yeah, this is a huge problem for the right and conservatives.
They think they're involved in debate club, and the left knows they're involved in a war.
And so they're like, oh, well, if I bring enough facts and logic, if I lay everything out, you know, I was told that the reason the left are in power, because like all these stupid backward Christian religious people, they didn't have any arguments, and they didn't know what was happening.
And then the left came in and told them all the science and reason, and that's why they're in charge now.
But that's a lie. That's never how power works.
Ultimately, the only way that you can negotiate in a country and have that kind of civil interaction, civil society that you're talking about, is if you have shared principle, that shared moral vision that we talked about earlier.
If you don't have that fundamental basis of understanding, there is no way to reach across the aisle and then find common ground.
And that's why throughout history, whenever civilizations have reached this point, they recognize themselves to be in an existential battle, not in one that's just about tossing back barbs and figuring out who has the best stats and spreadsheets.
And unfortunately, that's a truth that we're going to have to face.
If we can't all get on the same page, or hopefully, I think probably more likely, if we can't all radically decentralize into places where we can live lives and share our values together in more organic communities, eventually things will come to a head.
You simply cannot exist in the state forever.
We did not get rid of politics when we created liberal democracies.
That's the lie that we believe, that we solved the question of existential conflict when it came to the political.
But now we see the political roaring back as the illusion of neutrality just collapses.
And that puts us in a very scary situation.
But if we don't recognize what's happening, then we're going to be the victims of it.
harrison smith
You're suggesting that strongly worded letters aren't enough to stop total tyranny from taking over.
Is that what you're saying? Right.
Yeah, absolutely. You know, what it reminds me of is, you know, there's this book, 48 Laws of Power.
And I remember reading in high school and people were freaked out by it.
They were like, oh, this book's kind of evil.
And it's like, no, no, it's not about the love of power.
It's about just understanding that power exists and how it functions and how to deal with it.
It's like the laws of physics.
Yeah, it can be scary that falling off a cliff can kill you, but you should probably know about gravity.
You should just know how power works.
Is there a lack of understanding of just the function of power on the right?
And how much of that is in your book?
unidentified
Absolutely. This book is, at its core, is a work of Machiavellian political analysis.
And like you said, that can be very scary because people say, oh man, this just lays things out in raw terms.
But ultimately, there is a metaphysical reality to power.
It will follow certain pathways.
It will consistently behave in a particular way.
And if you ignore those truths or think that you're going to get around them by just quoting principles or something like that, To power, you will lose this.
That doesn't mean there isn't a just way and a virtuous way to apply power.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't care deeply about your community, the people around you, and wield power for their good.
But pretending that power isn't real, that we aren't ruled, that we don't have to treat power a particular way and understand its consequences, these are all very dangerous things.
This is what a very soft and decadent society does right before it gets you.
Ultimately, we have to understand that power is a reality and we have to treat it as such because like you said, ignoring gravity doesn't keep you from falling off a cliff and we are definitely halfway down the cliff pretending like really there's going to be no consequence if we continue to ignore that fall.
harrison smith
It's horrifying, but so very true.
We'll be back on the other side with more with Oren Magdair.
We're going to start with that video, the speech of the NFL player who Who dared?
He dared to suggest that motherhood is a good thing.
And this, amongst all the things that NFL players have done in the past, it's this that has infuriated the left.
And I want to get Oren McIntyre's opinion on it.
We'll be back on the other side. Welcome back, folks.
This is the American Journal. I'm your host, Harrison Smith.
My guest is Oren McIntyre.
His new book is called The Total State, How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies.
You can follow him on X and YouTube at Oren McIntyre.
And I want to get, Oren, I want to get your take on this speech that was given.
I guess it was a commencement speech by an NFL player named Harrison Butker.
And he dared to actually express Catholic Christian fundamental beliefs and has since been called every name in the book.
He is a misogynist psychopath, according to the liberals.
Let's hear the speech, look at some of the outrage, and get your response to it on the other side.
Here's the speech by NFL kicker, I believe, Harrison Butker.
harrison butker
For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment.
You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives.
I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.
How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?
Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.
I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabel would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.
I'm on this stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.
I'm beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school Would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: Hallmaker.
She's the primary educator to our children.
She's the one who ensures I never let football or my business become a distraction from that of a husband and father.
She's the person that knows me best at my core.
And it is through our marriage that, Lord willing, we will both attain salvation.
I say all of this to you because I have seen it firsthand how much happier someone can be when they disregard the outside noise and move closer and closer to God's will in their life.
Isabel's dream of having a career might not have come true, but if you asked her today if she has any regrets on her decision, she would laugh out loud without hesitation and say, heck no.
harrison smith
All right, so that was Harrison Butker.
He went on to tell young men to be unapologetic in their masculinity.
And of course, the NFL has now condemned this speech, calling it sexist, anti-LGBTQ. They say we're steadfast in our commitment to inclusion.
Or in your response to this on Twitter was, in the total state, there is only one faith.
Explain what you mean by that.
unidentified
Oh, I mean, you can see this on camera.
Look at the terrible heresy he committed in front of everyone.
I mean, clearly loving his wife, appreciating everything she does, honoring her first and foremost.
What a horrible misogynist.
I mean, really, does this guy not understand that the only purpose of women is to operate a computer in the middle of a cubicle for a man who hates her for the rest of her life?
Doesn't he know that's where real satisfaction comes from?
But seriously, I talk about this at length in the total state, how necessary it is for the managerial elite and our ruling globalist elite to break down and destroy the idea of the family, because the family is the last natural barrier in the total state.
It's the last place where kids will receive ideology and, more importantly, actually organic religion that is not the state ideology.
They can learn values.
They can learn truth. They can learn about God.
They can... Actually experience love in a way that is not filtered through the cheap, commercial, crass, artificial state that we have created.
And so, of course, they have to hate this guy.
They have to condemn this guy.
He is the most dangerous thing you can imagine.
A guy who actually shows people what a loving family looks like and that there's a life outside of this horrible, hellish, future dystopia of managerial bureaucracy.
harrison smith
And, you know, again, it just goes towards, like, what, like, I actually want women to be happy.
I actually know if somebody came to me in my personal life and said, what do you think?
Should I focus on my career or should I try to have a family?
Because I actually care about the person, I'd say, yeah, maybe try the family thing because the career can always come later.
The family, you sort of have a time limit on it.
You really need to get going as quickly as possible.
But somehow that doesn't come across.
Somehow they literally think that if you read some of the responses to this speech, I mean, they think that this guy is—he went out there and he said, women, you cannot have jobs.
You must be slaves to your husband and you must be nothing but— I mean, the way they interpret this is so bizarre to me.
Is there a way to make this argument that can actually break through, to actually say, no, we actually care about women and want them to be happy, which is why we believe this?
Or are we just arguing against a brick wall here?
unidentified
I mean, I think he is making that argument.
You can tell. You can hear in his voice how much he loves his wife, how much he cares about her.
And don't let any woman fool you.
They can hear that, too.
Ultimately, you're never going to get these leftist activists to believe this.
They're never going to hear your arguments because they are correct to call what he's saying an existential threat to their way of life.
They are correct that if they're half happy, Healthy, organic families where a mother dedicates herself to raising children over being a utilitarian cog in the state wheel and handing everything over to state organizations, they will lose power.
They will lose their ability to artificially go ahead and propagandize and socially manipulate the masses.
That is what they're terrified about, and they should be.
He is a threat to them, and they're never going to treat him otherwise because that's just the truth.
harrison smith
Yeah, and obviously I think you're exactly right.
And I think you put it really well when you say family is the last natural barrier because they really are systematically destroying our defenses, aren't they?
And this is the way I always consider it.
If you believe in God, that's one strength that you have.
That's a pillar of defense against manipulation and control because you answer to something higher than the political winds of the day.
Religion, family, these are the things that make you strong.
So these are the things that are systematically being destroyed in this country piece by piece.
And we see it, of course, with LGBT laws where they say if your family is against you transitioning, we'll rescue you.
We'll rescue you from your family's imprisonment by freeing you and letting you go live with a gay couple who can let you transition.
Just talk a little bit more about these natural barriers to control and how they're being systematically destroyed.
unidentified
Thank you.
Yeah, that's right. We have this myth that what we're worried about right now is identity politics.
Oh no, identity is out there.
No, actually what's happening is we have a lack of identity.
We don't have families. We don't have faiths.
We don't have organic communities that ground us and, like you said, give us roots that hold us against the onslaught of propaganda that would otherwise reorganize our personality.
And what we see in so many of these artificial identities that people invest in is that they're fake and cheap and plastic and they're entirely manufactured by the total state.
They want to destroy the authority of people like the parents.
There's a reason that they're pushing sexuality down on the kids.
One of the reasons is that they really are actually interested in the predation of children.
But on top of that, they want to break down the ability of the parent to stand between them and total control of the kid's mind.
So if they can create a situation through, say, civil rights law where that kid has a right to transition when they're, you know, 14 or 10 or 8, then they can go ahead and break into the home, right?
We're going to protect you. Protect you against who?
Oh, well, your parents. And your parents are the last people who would have any influence, any authority that could tell the state, no, sorry, you can't manipulate and brainwash my child.
They're gonna grow up in my religion.
They're gonna grow up knowing the truth.
They're gonna grow up knowing that we love them.
They're gonna know who they are and what they're about and who their people are and what our history is and what our traditions are.
And that's the life we're gonna live.
They wanna destroy that.
And the best way to do that is to create an excuse for the state to go in, use the law, separate children, It really is the sickest evil you can possibly imagine.
harrison smith
And if they can overcome that love, if they can actually break that connection between a parent and their children, there's really nothing else standing in their way.
I mean, if that most...
I mean, even just from an existential evolutionary level, it is the most powerful connection.
But if they can break that, then there really is nothing else that can prevent them from total control of your mind, body, and soul.
Final segment with Oren McIntyre on the other side.
Stay with us, folks. Find Oren McIntyre on X and YouTube at Oren McIntyre.
The book, again, is The Total State, How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies.
And I noticed that it doesn't say how they can become tyrannies.
It says they will become tyrannies.
I'll ask you about that on the other side.
Is this drive towards tyranny and despotism inevitable?
And if so, how do we fight back against it?
unidentified
We'll be right back. Welcome back, folks.
harrison smith
This is the American Journal. My guest is Oren McIntyre.
You can follow him on YouTube and X at Oren McIntyre.
That's A-U-R-O-N-M-A-C-I-N-T-Y-R-E, Oren McIntyre.
His book is called The Total State, How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies.
And I noticed, Oren, that you didn't say how they can become tyrannies, how they might become tyrannies.
You wrote how they become tyrannies.
Is this an inevitable process?
unidentified
I believe so. There's a reason that we're seeing this across the West.
This is not just happening in the United States.
It's not one flaw somewhere in the Constitution that we can patch through with a simple amendment.
One of the issues we ran into when we were understanding how we would create the new political order is that we bought into the idea of progress by creating this careful mechanism of constitutional government.
We would go ahead and Create neutral institutions that would go ahead and mediate all of our existential political conflicts.
And therefore, we didn't really have to worry about who was running these things and what was going on.
The only problem is that as we handed over the idea of political legitimization to popular sovereignty, we created an incentive structure.
And that incentive structure is that everybody would need to vote for the ruling class.
Because the truth is we always have a ruling class.
The ruling class always wants to stay in power.
And they're always going to manipulate the institutions they have to go ahead and stay in power.
And so what the Reliant class got very good at was mind control, making sure that they could constantly propagandize and alter the opinions of the people they took and seized control of the media institutions, academia, all of the narrative consensus-making apparatus that shapes our constant understanding of the world around us.
And that's actually why we're seeing this start to crack apart, because in many ways, shows like yours and others, alternative media, are creating a situation where this hegemonic information control, this ability to constantly pipe in relentless propaganda and stay on message, is falling apart.
And that's shaking the idea that the ruling elite can stay in control forever.
But in the meantime, they clamp down harder and harder.
That's why censorship is so important.
That's why limiting social media reach and other things are so critical because they need to make sure that they stay in control of the story.
As long as popular sovereignty is what grants legitimacy to our ruling class, they will need to control the beliefs, attitudes, and understandings of the people who cast votes.
harrison smith
But it's sort of arbitrary whether or not the people follow them, isn't it?
I mean, we just saw yesterday a poll came out showing that amongst Western European countries that have overwhelming immigration, between 70 and 90 percent of the population says too much.
They say we don't want this much immigration, and yet it continues regardless.
So they're sort of in this... In this sweet spot where they go, well, if the people vote for it, then hey, we have a mandate from the people.
We have to do this because we're a democracy.
But if the people vote against it, they go, well, too bad, we're doing it anyway.
So it's sort of a, if they can get the people to come along, great, but if not, so what, they do it anyway.
I mean, how does that not expose the hypocrisy, the falsity of the supposed democracy that we're waging a war for in Ukraine right now, despite the fact it doesn't have an election?
I mean, it's just an illusion at this point, right?
unidentified
Right. Yeah, this is the beauty of the system, right?
In the United States, Congress has a 90% rate of re-election, right?
Incumbency rates are sky high, but the approval rate of Congress is like 10%.
How could that possibly be the case?
How can those numbers make any sense?
And the answer is ultimately that what we see is the manipulation of procedural outcomes.
So, we have the democratic mechanism and this creates what we call a political validation or political formula.
And so people say, "Oh, well, I participated in the process.
I've given my assent." And so, well, maybe my guy didn't follow the instructions, maybe he didn't do what he was supposed to do, but ultimately he is my representative and I've participated in the process and therefore the government is legitimate.
But in the meantime, what's happening is that there's a wide manipulation of the system, of the total state, on how decisions are made.
So for instance, Donald Trump and Barack Obama were both elected to the presidency of the United States under Article II of the Constitution.
So formally, they should have exactly the same powers, right?
Barack Obama was clearly someone who was in charge of his government.
He actually wielded the power of the executive branch when he snapped the different organizations inside and attached to his branch, and the wider government and the wider culture all paid attention.
But when Donald Trump said to do something, his generals ignored him.
They literally committed treason and laughed In his face.
When the pandemic came, was Donald Trump in charge of the country or was Anthony Fauci in charge of the country?
And so what we see is that when the left wins elections, they're actually in charge.
But when the right wins elections, even though technically they hold the same office, under the same articles, with the same rules, somehow they don't wield the same power.
And that gives us a hint that, yeah, the whole process is probably pretty fake.
harrison smith
Yeah, a little bit.
It's a little bit fake.
And of course, that you can describe as the deep state or the super state.
And as you point out, I mean, there's a reason that all these things are happening in every Western country all at once.
I mean, just before you came on, we were covering basically identical stories about the UK disinformation unit having people inside the social media companies to censor at their behest.
And it's exactly the same thing that happened in the USA, just maybe a slightly different name.
They have the disinformation unit.
We had the disinformation governance board.
But exactly the same thing happening at exactly the same thing at exactly the same time.
This to me is evidence of collusion of coordination, that they're taking orders from something higher than the government who's giving orders to the national government, whether it's World Economic Forum as they meet in Davos and all get together.
I mean, that is a world government, isn't it?
And is that what's happening here?
Is the coordination that we're seeing just happening behind the scenes?
Or is it all just, you think, naturally bubbling up from, as you point out, what we call the cathedral or whatever this new religion is that they all adhere to?
unidentified
I think that it is a combination of both.
The argument I make in the book is that ultimately the systems that we have in place, the mass managerial bureaucracy and its tendency to globalize, will drive us towards global governance.
The ways that managers apply their techniques and want to Increase efficiency mean that they always want to bring more and more systems and resources under their control.
And so the natural incentive of every one of these states, which is based on this managerial system, is to expand themselves and connect themselves to this global alliance.
And once that happens, we naturally get people who are interested in coordinating it.
Absolutely some level of top-down coordination where people bring up papers and they decide what they think is going to be the next thing that they want to pursue.
But simultaneously, I think every one of these governments is organically, well, organically is probably the wrong word, but they have the incentives due to the structures of what they've set up, the way that they've ordered their society, to hook themselves up to, to join these systems, to standardize themselves in the same way.
And so I think that we would continue to see this push towards globalization no matter what, but the fact that we do have people openly coordinating this does make it obvious that there is a top-down element as well.
harrison smith
Yeah, and again, I mean, just like you point out, I mean, it is so obvious.
It's right in your face.
One of, I think, the best examples for this, I know you just wrote a piece on the blaze about the Canadian fires.
I mean, well, they burned 80 churches on the lie that there were mass graves in church yards.
There were never graves.
There was never proof for graves.
And yet, this is just sort of come and gone.
They went, oh yeah, that whole thing, that was all fake.
We tore down statues, we had riots, we burned 80 churches, but it turned out all to be fake.
We spent millions of dollars, but we were wrong.
Whoopsie, sorry, moving on.
It's like, no, this was fraud.
We gotta do something about this.
Where did this come from? Who started this lie?
But this is the way it works, isn't it?
They tell the lie, they get the response from the lie, the lie is revealed to be a lie, and then nobody's punished for the lie.
I mean, what's your take on this?
unidentified
Yeah, no, it's an outrage that this is not the biggest story in the world right now.
This was a mass anti-Christian hate crime.
This is a program aimed directly at Christian places of worship, and no one seems to care.
As you said, the Canadian government and the Canadian media started circulating this story three years ago that there were 215 mass graves that were found at a boarding school.
They used to have these Catholic boarding schools that, to be fair, were not great.
They were separating indigenous children from their families in an attempt to westernize them, to go ahead and integrate them into the culture.
However, the left, of course, sees this as some evidence of genocide.
And as soon as they get the idea that there's mass graves at one of these schools, they launch into a frenzy in the idea that all of these things were set up in motion to wipe out the indigenous population.
But what we found after $8 million in three years is that actually there's no evidence of this.
They haven't found any remains to corroborate what they're saying.
And in the meantime, Justin Trudeau and even the Pope went ahead and stoked the lie that this was real and that this happened and this was a genocide.
And in the medium, in the interim, over 80 churches burned.
Law enforcement barely cared.
They barely bothered to try to stop anything or try to investigate the arsons.
The entire Christian community in Canada was absolutely terrorized on the back of a lie.
This is a human rights violation.
Every single one of these human rights organizations should be screaming at the top of their lungs.
If this happened to anyone else, this would be a horrific crime.
It's discarded because they don't care about Christians because Christians are an impediment to the ruling class.
harrison smith
Christians are an impediment to the ruling class.
I think that sums up a lot of what we see going on these days.
Yeah, it's a total blood libel.
