=== Most Educated Non-American (02:16) ===

[00:00:00]  I just had an interesting conversation with a French national in a gun store in Texas.
[00:00:05]  I was in the store and it just struck up a conversation.
[00:00:09]  With this guy, and he's obviously French.
[00:00:11]  He spoke with a very noticeable French pronunciation, but he had good English.
[00:00:17]  And he's a concealed carry holder in Texas, so he's, I guess, a citizen of America.
[00:00:25]  And he knew more about American politics and what's going on in Washington and the deep state and President Trump and all this stuff.
[00:00:33]  He knew more than, I would say, 99.99% 100% of most Americans.
[00:00:40]  I mean, the guy was incredibly well-informed.
[00:00:43]  And the reason I mention this, I like to interact with people out in public When I can, but sometimes it's not safe to do so.
[00:00:53]  So I never go to places where it's pre-announced that I'm going to be there unless I have security arranged.
[00:01:01]  But, you know, I just go to random locations at random times, you know, a random restaurant or a random grocery store or one of many various gun shops where I know what they specialize in, whether it's ammunition or bolt-action rifles or what have you.
[00:01:20]  This is the way I encounter people, and I like to talk with people as I do this because I find it very fascinating to learn what people know or what they think about what's happening.
[00:01:31]  But this guy wins the prize for the most educated non-American in America.
[00:01:38]  He was, like, really well-educated.
[00:01:41]  But in contrast to that, it reminded me of how little most Americans know about what's happening in their own country.
[00:01:48]  The masses are oblivious.
[00:01:51]  They truly are.
[00:01:52]  Now there are a few informed individuals, a relatively small number, let's say, I don't know, maybe 1% of the population.

=== Independent Media Matters (08:32) ===

[00:02:01]  We'll call it like 3 million, okay?
[00:02:03]  Just as a guess, 3 million people.
[00:02:06]  And most of those 3 million people probably are familiar with my work or the work of other independent media sources, and they get good information from the independent media.
[00:02:16]  They can't believe that they are surrounded by the other 99% who are totally oblivious and clueless to everything that's happening.
[00:02:26]  And you're probably one of the 1% of the most informed, so you're probably nodding your head like, yeah, I know.
[00:02:32]  And it's your encounters with family members sometimes or friends or social gatherings.
[00:02:39]  Maybe you go out with old friends that you haven't seen for a few years.
[00:02:43]  You get together with them now and you realize, oh my God, they are clueless.
[00:02:47]  They're completely stupid.
[00:02:50]  They have no idea what's happening in the world.
[00:02:53]  Yes, this has happened to us all.
[00:02:55]  It's like you can never go back really to your high school friends or your college friends because they're very different now.
[00:03:03]  They're not informed anymore.
[00:03:06]  You know, remember back in college, I don't know if this is a bit of a tangent here, but back in college I remember like all of us We're independent creative thinkers, and we all had plans to do really cool, amazing things in the world.
[00:03:21]  And I go back to people I knew in college, and most of them, with some exceptions, but most of them have not done jack crap in the world.
[00:03:31]  They're just working for pharmaceutical companies or working for a payroll company or whatever.
[00:03:36]  And all those dreams and all those visions Just fell apart, and now they're just conformists.
[00:03:43]  And that's the way the system wants it.
[00:03:45]  The system wants everybody to be a conformist.
[00:03:47]  And one of the easiest ways to do that is to tie you in financially.
[00:03:50]  So you get a paycheck from a company.
[00:03:53]  So you can't speak out, really, because the company might yank your paycheck if you say the wrong things.
[00:04:00]  And this is why the best voices in independent media are people who run their own shops.
[00:04:06]  I mean, that's what independent should mean, right?
[00:04:09]  So independent media should mean people who run their own shops.
[00:04:12]  If you have a journalist working for CNN, of course that journalist is constantly lying to you because that's their job.
[00:04:18]  Their job is to be an actor.
[00:04:21]  They're told what to say.
[00:04:22]  They're told how to say it.
[00:04:23]  They're told which phrases to use to say it.
[00:04:26]  They can't say what they really want to say.
[00:04:28]  And that's why a lot of people leave CNN or they leave NBC or the mainstream media and they start their own independent operation.
[00:04:37]  Usually they make a lot less money because it's hard to earn a living being an independent journalist.
[00:04:43]  But for many people, that's fine.
[00:04:46]  They have their freedom.
[00:04:47]  They have their voice.
[00:04:48]  They're pursuing something that matters.
[00:04:50]  And they're not a slave to the system.
[00:04:57]  So independent journalists are very courageous people, and they're people who are willing to, well, they value truth more than they value just a paycheck.
[00:05:06]  I mean, everybody's got to have a paycheck, but I admire people who value truth more than the money.
[00:05:13]  And there are a lot of people out there like that.
[00:05:14]  Cheryl Atkinson is one of them.
[00:05:16]  You know, Gary Franchi, I believe, is another who's doing great work.
[00:05:21]  There are many individuals who deserve to be recognized.
[00:05:24]  You know, so many out there.
[00:05:26]  Lots of websites that I've mentioned frequently.
[00:05:29]  A lot of sites that you can see on censored.news.
[00:05:32]  Again, censored.news is the website.
[00:05:35]  You can see real-time headlines from many different censored news sources.
[00:05:38]  But a lot of people deserve recognition for being strong, independent-minded journalists.
[00:05:45]  And they're the ones that you should listen to.
[00:05:47]  They're the ones telling the truth.
[00:05:48]  And what's really crucial to understand is that you're going to get a different report every day from each of those individual journalists because there is no central memo that they're given.
[00:05:59]  They're not told what to say.
[00:06:02]  They don't get orders from headquarters.
[00:06:05]  They decide what to cover.
[00:06:06]  They decide what to say.
[00:06:07]  They decide what's important news for their audience, just like I do.
[00:06:13]  I don't know if you know this, but every day I go through dozens of headlines, stories, sometimes academic research that's harvested by my research staff.
[00:06:23]  And then I get to approve which articles we're going to cover or which articles that we're going to ignore because there's not enough space.
[00:06:32]  And so every day, to me, it's like a goldmine thing.
[00:06:36]  Of stories that are out there, amazing stories, and I get to choose like the top, the most amazing stories to cover.
[00:06:45]  And so that's why you see such a strong focus on stories about natural medicine or liberty or sometimes new inventions for future technology, sometimes space exploration.
[00:06:56]  Did you know I have a website called space.news?
[00:06:59]  And it's about space travel and space exploration and astronomy and discovery of life on other planets and things like that.
[00:07:07]  So, you know, it's interesting.
[00:07:09]  Check it out, space.news.
[00:07:11]  I know, it's like every podcast I tell you about another website we have.
[00:07:15]  And people are like, how on earth do you run all these websites?
[00:07:20]  Ha!
[00:07:21]  Well, there's some trade secrets of how we run all these websites, but we do.
[00:07:25]  So space.news is one of them.
[00:07:26]  But anyway, getting back to the main point, you know, individual journalism is where the action is really at.
[00:07:31]  If you want the truth about what's going on in the world, that's where you need to turn.
[00:07:37]  And getting back to the Independent media sources.
[00:07:45]  Most Americans just read whatever news source by default comes up on their phone or whatever just shows up on the screens at the airport or whatever.
[00:07:53]  They're at a hotel and there's a USA Today newspaper.
[00:07:56]  They just read that.
[00:07:57]  They don't realize it's socially engineered, largely fake news.
[00:08:02]  It's a narrative that's pushed by the establishment in order to limit your freedom, limit your awareness, and keep you as a slave to the system.
[00:08:14]  It's only when you go to the independent media that you become free.
[00:08:19]  That's actually a really important point I'm going to make in another broadcast coming up soon.
[00:08:25]  But independent media sets you free.
[00:08:28]  Mainstream media keeps you enslaved.
[00:08:31]  So keep all that in mind.
