Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brown trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
Hello there, you awakening wonders.
Thanks for joining me for Stay Free with Russell Brown.
If you ain't got Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium.
Now you get additional content from me and it's a great show today.
We're talking about the new pandemic in the UK, the flu one.
They're forgetting though that they've already used this lie really recently of COVID and masks and in their reporting state-funded media like the BBC are tripping over their own feet in error.
And we remind you too what happened in 2020 when they actually cancelled Christmas.
Looking back just with a half a decade of hindsight, the whole thing looks absurd.
It's a real joy.
We're talking too about the Ukraine and Zelensky and the way that people are beginning to recognize now that Ukraine was always a pretty corrupt country.
That's not a unique attack on Ukraine, certainly not on Ukrainian people, but it's just the government of a country is not the same as the people of a country.
Whether you're talking about Israel or the United Kingdom or the United States of America, generally speaking, governments are aligned with and enmeshed in sets of globalist interests and maybe things that are even darker than that.
And the people are human beings and children of God and one world family.
And Lord, I pray that one day we're able to return this.
So we've got Zelensky, we've got COVID and also the EU versus X. What a battle that's shaping up to be.
All of these are deep dive episodes.
Let us know what you think in the comment and chat.
Sorry, I keep spitting.
I'm so excited about this thing.
I think it's to do with this shirt also.
What do you think?
Let me know in the comments and chat.
This stuff's pretty delicious.
Give it a go, baby.
Ah!
If you're watching us on locals, hello, I love you.
If you're watching us on Rumble Premium, I couldn't love you anymore.
And if you're watching us on X or YouTube or any of those places, get on over to Rumble and join us there.
And remember, if you haven't bought any reborn stuff yet, buy some right now.
Every dollar you spend gets you entered into a prize drawer to win this beautiful but dangerous Jeep.
And so here, without any further ado, here's the first of today's stories.
Stay with us.
When is the flu not the flu?
When we need to control you, super flu is back.
Get in your house.
Here's the mainstream media telling you to stop the spread.
It's a bit of a throwback, isn't it?
We were used to wearing these a few years ago.
Now this is the precaution being taken.
Also, people are being told to make sure their hands are clean and that they're not bringing germs into the hospital.
We're in the outpatients here.
That's just ridiculous.
If in Germany they started dishing out yellow stars again and pink triangles, do you think people might go, wait a minute?
Okay, if Yvonne dules to register for special benefits, he owns his place.
You might go, we're not fucking doing that again.
But when it comes to the mask, don't do it.
Don't comply.
They're not telling you the truth.
Why don't you talk to the many doctors and nurses that regret taking the shot?
Why don't you talk to the members of the military that have had to be readmitted after not taking the shot?
I know they're not making the claim that this is directly analogous or identical to COVID, but it's similar enough to warrant your cynicism.
At Sunderland Royal, and you can see the campaign is very clear indeed.
That's because in the past couple of weeks they have seen the number of patients with flu here and at their sister.
With flu, not from flu.
Flu here and at their sister hospital trepled to 45 patients.
Where's the fucking people in that hospital, by the way?
Have you been to an hospital lately?
It all is like that, just a bunch of screens, dark, depressing, weird.
What's happening to our country?
What's going on in the UK or up, as I call it, because it's that's kind of reflecting the national picture as well, where last week, 1700 patients across England were admitted and they were suffering from flu.
That's a 50% rise on this time.
Why don't we have a ticker across the bottom of the screen telling us how many people are dying of flu?
They've had Titan Pull Christmas tree up.
My God, the UK is crazy and it's in serious trouble, but don't worry, it's going to be okay.
We are going to organise some meaningful resistance, whether it's opposing the digital ID or the getting rid of trial by jury or any one of any facial recognition, potential war with Russia.
I can do a longer list if you want to.
It's totally corrupt.
You need a new Oliver Cromwell, not Oliver Cromwell's behaviour to the Irish wasn't appalling.
There's a revolution coming.
Let's get into it.
Look, just because the number of patients rising has started earlier doesn't mean this flu season is going to end earlier.
And NHS bosses are really quite concerned about the pressure that is going to be put on services, hence those figures coming out later.
We also know that in Birmingham, four hospitals have declared a critical incident.
Get that mask off.
There's no one in there.
There's no one else in there.
Don't do things for no reason.
Don't do things for no reason.
Stop bowing down and kowtowing to your false idols of the state.
Stop worshiping at the awe of the BBC.
You can't trust them.
You cannot trust the legacy media.
All of these institutions that I would have laid down my life for once, the BBC, the NHS, people did lay down their lives from.
Our ancestors laid down their lives from.
Not that long ago, less than 100 years ago, members of your family died so that you could have state-funded institutions like the BBC.
They have, they raise a tax, don't they, through licenses that's mandatory, so it's a tax.
And the NHS, which your taxes pay for.
These were beautiful ideas.
These were good versions of secular saints.
The NHS, a feminine saint that provides care and nurture and love and concern.
What a beautiful idea.
Totally corrupted, totally disrupted, total chaos being utilized now to legitimise authoritarianism and government overreach.
It's happened before, happened in 2019, and it's happening now.
Don't trust them again.
Partly because of the number of flu cases putting those pressures on.
And we know that up in the northeast, this isn't the only hospital that has introduced the mask wearing and, of course, that washing of hands that we have been talking about.
So the message is: if you're coming into hospitals, please do wash your hands, wear the mask, because then you're going to stop the spread.
Why is the BBC doing that?
Why is the BBC saying that?
We've already had the signs.
And hopefully reduce the pressure that is being put on services.
Look, we know that some people can present with mild symptoms.
And bosses here are saying you may have mild symptoms, but if you pass it on to somebody who's vulnerable, that's going to possibly cause more problems because, ah, the old vulnerable technique, you see, someone vulnerable.
There's always these imaginary vulnerable people that the BBC and the government are protecting.
You might be all right.
You might be able to run your own life, run your own family, run your own community.
You might be strong and connected to God.
But what about vulnerable people?
I'll tell you what, I'll tell you the last people I'm going to trust to look after the vulnerable.
It's you lying, corrupt, filthy scum.
So, mask wearing, hand washing, and those figures coming out later today are going to give a true picture of what is going on.
But everybody can do their bit to try to prevent the spread of flu for now at least.
It's inevitable, really.
We're all going to get flu.
Yeah, flu.
So, fucking what?
Well, people will die.
Yeah, well, not people will die.
Everyone's going to die.
Everyone's going to die.
How about having some integrity while you're alive?
It's not a personal attack on that lady, journalist, whatever she would like to be called.
She's got fantastic hair.
And when it comes to conditioner, I'd take her advice to the ends of the earth.
But when it comes to masks, she's plainly lying because we've already been on this roundabout.
As the familiar health warnings of 2020 begin to dominate once more, fresh scandals rip through the institutions that shape the pandemic years.
So are we finally seeing the cracks in a system whose hidden incentives may have steered a nation's fate?
Or will history repeat herself again?
The loudmouth repetitive bitch.
Schools across the UK are falling back into lockdown as a flu outbreak sweeps classrooms and public health officials urge mask wearing, even though they admitted last time that masks don't work.
I know what they'll say.
They'll go, oh, well, masks don't work under these circumstances, but they work under these circumstances.
Stop the spread, flatten the curve.
take the spike, have a jab.
It'll be the usual stuff.
Public health officials urge mark wearing with the same familiar language that dominated the winter of 2020.
Yet the timing's more alarming because three major revelations have erupted at once, tearing open the sealed vault of decisions that shaped the pandemic years.
The stories breaking in 2025 are the very scandals that were dismissed as paranoia and misinformation or conspiracy in 2020.
Let's get into it.
First came the disclosures that England's chief medical officer pressured government ethics advisors to stop putting their concerns in writing.
That's interesting.
The Moral and Ethical Advisory Group or MIAG.
You Miags, you Miags, you can't trust Miags, was created to guide ministers through the most difficult trade-offs of the pandemic.
Trade-offs.
It was meant to ensure that policy never drifted into a moral void.
That's the least you can do in it as a government.
Are we in a moral void right now?
Wait a minute.
Wait.
Is this a moral void that we've been living in?
Yeah, it's a moral void because you killed God and replaced it with, well, Satan, but via Dominion, property, profit, stuff like that.
But as soon as MIAG raised concerns about lockdown harms, vaccine passports and the rushed push to vaccinate children, it was pushed aside.
Chris Witty went as far as advising the group to stop putting its recommendations in writing.
Don't write any of this down because it might look bad in a couple of years, but everyone finds out we were lying.
Who remembers the bit when Chris Witte was jostled by youths?
Those youths got pretty punishing sentences as well, as I recall.
They just saw Chris Whitty.
And this is when I sort of realized that I kind of love dumb culture.
It's because what happened was, is like Chris Whitty was like our chief medical officer and he was like sort of like a bald like scientist guy.
He was not even as charismatic as someone like Fauci, right?
He was sort of like a hello and he looked a bit like he might have sort of an undercurrent of eczema, you know them people where they've not got eczema but you could see that they could easily get it right.
He looked like that and like these lads saw him in a park, like football lads, and because the culture's so stupid now they just sort of treated him like a celebrity.
Hey, Chris Witty, they sort of shook him around.
It was very funny.
It was awful because poor Chris Whitty is a human being, but it's also funny because the culture has used media and semiotics in such a trite and trivializing way, like i.e everyone tried to turn Fauci into a sort of celebrity.
Well, that's what people do like you think I've not had to deal with stuff like that as a famous person people getting like too fucking hands-on and aggressive crazy man.
Members reported feeling sidelined and effectively banned from discussing the pandemic, while ministers pushed ahead with unprecedented restrictions when the group prepared a memo stressing that vaccines for healthy children were invasive, irreversible and may have long-term side effects.
Yes, they were invasive.
Yes, irreversible.
Everything's irreversible basically.
And long-term side effects, bingo, baby, it was suppressed.
A whistleblower said they were told to stop this.
Could you stop this?
Could you stop raising concerns?
It's not like we have a primary duty to not be in a moral void.
You shouldn't be in a moral void.
Oh man.
Miag meetings were cancelled when they raised concerns.
At the moment when the nation most needed independent scrutiny, it was deliberately shut down.
Let me know in the comments and chat why that would be.
Why would you shut down independent scrutiny?
Because guess what I was doing during the COVID pandemic?
I was offering independent scrutiny.
It was advised by experts in the same way that you are.
Like I was reading Robert Malone or Peter McCulloch or Jay Battachari or Martin McCario or Robert Kennedy or other people that are subject to attack, even if they're in government at this point.
And we were making our own independent assessments and you know, we followed the actual science, discourse analysis, clinical trial.
And it turns out that we, that collective we, the anti-establishment dissidents, were right.
And it turns out that if you do that, they will try and destroy you.
So do pay attention.
Make sure you mean it.
Otherwise, you might not like it when they try and destroy you.
Then came two bombshell headlines from legacy outlets that once dismissed scepticism as misinformation.
The Atlantic.
Yes, some children may have died from COVID shots, they now acknowledge.
The Telegraph, who of course reported the stories, Russell Brown rapists, they now admit how COVID vaccines can cause heart damage.
Articles like these would have been unimaginable in the media landscape of 2021 when even asking such questions invoked smears, bans and professional destruction.
Now they read like late confessions from institutions trying to outrun the truth while simultaneously telling you to believe in super flu.
We've got the James Gunn version of super flu now.
We've reimagined super flu.
It's like a Guardians of the Galaxy COVID.
It's a fun new COVID.
But the most chilling report may be the one showing that 26 members of SAGE, the scientific advisory group whose modeling and council shaped every lockdown policy, get ready guys, failed to disclose more than $200 million in grants from the Wellcome Trust.
Wellcome, if you didn't know, is one of the world's most powerful medical research funders with deep, deep, yep, let me emphasize that, deep ties to the pharmaceutical sector and had publicly declared early in the pandemic that drugs, vaccines and rapid diagnostics were the only exit strategy.
Many of the same sage voices that were urging the government towards that path were simultaneously receiving millions in funding from Wellcome.
Funding the public was never ever told about.
26 scientists in positions of immense influence shaping politics that affected every citizen, every child, while withholding financial relationships with the very sector that stood to profit from a pharmaceutical first pandemic response.
What a miracle.
Pay attention if you're in the UK now that they're trying to get rid of jury trials.
They're trying to introduce digital ID.
They're trying to get you into a war with Russia.
Be disobedient now.
Against this backdrop, the flu surge feels almost symbolic as if the boundary between past and present is collapsing.
Yeah, it does feel like that, doesn't it?
Like time itself is speeding up because the communication of information is so rapid.
Think about it, at the advent of the Gutenberg Press, the world changed so rapidly.
People had access to example to scripture in a variety of languages.
It changed people's relationships with institutional religion.
Now, everyone's talking all the time.
That doesn't mean there's a lot of nonsense that gets said.
Some of the stuff I say, of course, necessarily is nonsense.
I'm wrong a bunch.
But you can now aggregate information yourself.
Take a little bit from over here, take a bit from over here.
And as long as the results are, don't ever trust the media, don't ever trust the government, you won't go far wrong.
During COVID, flu all but vanished.
Do you remember that?
Do you remember that they stopped talking about flu?
Because they were using flu statistically to bolster the COVID numbers.
It was overwhelmed and displaced by a single overwhelming diagnosis.
Now, COVID has slipped into the background while flu resurges.
They don't believe in COVID anymore, but they might believe in new super flu.
Yes, let's try that.
Have they traded places depending on what served institutional interests at the time?
Or were the categories always more fluid than officials admitted?
It can only be one.
When systems encourage political outcomes rather than clinical clarity, even basic epidemiology becomes a shadow play, doesn't it?
That's what's happening.

Here's Scott Gottlieb, but you could just call him Scott Lieb, save yourself a syllable.
A man who looks like a little boy out of the monsters and talks like a person who worked at the FDA only to go and get a job at Pfizer because that's what he is.
They're systematically trying to dismantle components of the vaccine approval process and make sure vaccines won't be available.
That's in fact what the memo was Friday, and they did it under the pretext of these tragic deaths, which I think is really inappropriate.
We use tragic deaths, not you.
Tragic deaths, right?
Do you remember when people would die during COVID and didn't have a vaccine?
They would almost like to drag the corpse out of the coffin and fuck it on the desk of the news.
Now, don't you misuse these tragic deaths.
We're the ones that misuse tragic deaths.
What are you going to use the next?
The tragic death of Jesus Christ to say that death can be conquered if you obey certain edicts and laws.
Oh, well, don't, because that's what we do.
These deaths and children, if they think there's a causal relationship between the COVID vaccine and those children's deaths, that warrants exhaustive investigation.
What about what Scott Gottlieb does when he's not on the news telling you to take vaccines?
He's a board member of Pfizer.
Good.
Okay, so let's just watch a bit more.
But they tried to slip in in announcing that their readjudication of that data, which had previously been reviewed very exhaustively by the FDA, they tried to slip in this wholesale remaking of the vaccine approval process for vaccines that have nothing to do with the COVID vaccine.
So what do you do in your spare time?
Okay, fair enough.
Yeah, I'm just going to keep using that for context.
Remember, we even approved the HPV vaccine, which is on the cusp of ending cervical cancer on the basis of these immunobridging studies.
This has been an important tool for FDA to get new vaccines on the market.
I think what they want is no new vaccines on the market.
And look, there's some people, I will give them credit, who have been very honest about that.
I think the Secretary Kennedy has been very honest about his intentions.
I think Prasad, not so much, in implementing these policies, hasn't been transparent about the eventual goal of what he's trying to achieve here.
But we're at a point right now where there's been such degradation at the FDA.
I really worry the wheels are coming off that agency at a real critical time in the biotechnology industry.
Look, the tariffs have been settled.
Companies, big pharma companies now have visibility on their cash flows.
They're getting back into doing MA.
That's putting a bid under the market.
You're seeing the IPO market for biotechnology stocks reopen.
You're seeing really stunning data readouts.
And so this is really a renaissance period in biotechnology at a point in which we're trying to compete with China, which is really surging their investments in life sciences.
And now you have a deliberate effort to degrade the agency.
And there's been a lot of departures from that vaccine review division.
There's going to be even more.
They're going to be at a point where they can announce these policies and there's literally going to be no one left to implement them at the agency.
Meanwhile, Big Pharma is not retreating.
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, who now works for where does he work?
Oh, what it was was when he left the FDA, the regulatory body that governs Big Pharma, he went, from now on, I just want to make sure that, you know, children everywhere are helped.
So I'm going to do this charity work at schools, man.
I'm going to dedicate all my time to making sure that children with conditions like eczema or asthma or nah, not really.
He's working for Pfizer.
Is already pushing back against reports linking vaccines to child deaths, claiming instead that the FDA is undermining critical components of the vaccine approval system.
The conflict of interest is staggering.
The defensiveness is yet more so.
Taken together, these disclosures paint a picture far darker than incompetence.
They suggest a pandemic response shaped by political pressure, undisclosed financial entanglements, strategic suppression of ethical concerns, and a media ecosystem that only now dares to admit what it once helped obscure.
The timing's no coincidence.
As public trust erodes, these revelations feel less like transparency and more like preemptive damage control.
What was once dismissed as fringe concern is now breaking into mainstream coverage, not because institutions have grown more honest, but because the truth can no longer be fully contained.
Let me know what you think about that in the comment and chat.
The public was told to trust the science, yet the science was shaped by incentives they were never allowed to see.
They were told decisions were guided by ethics, yet the ethics advisors were silenced when the confusions became inconvenient.
And the people offering the recommendation had financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
I'll tell you now, I'm following the science right now.
Here's what I'm scientifically deducing.
Corruption, hypocrisy, lies, conclusion, revolution.
Do you remember at school when you had to do science?
You have to go method, aim, all that, we had to write down the little things.
Well, plainly now, we are at peak corruption.
Now, Britain is repeating old patterns at the very time where the public is waking up to how deeply those patterns were manipulated.
Schools are closing again.
Mask mandates are creeping back.
And the institutions that shaped the last crisis are being exposed for suppressing critical information when it mattered most.
Ho, Remember 2020, Christmas time, mistletoe and wine.
Let's have a look at what happened in our country, the UK, in Christmas 2020.
This is your old friends, the BBC.
Dramatic change of policy.
Millions of people across England have been placed under stringent new coronavirus restrictions for the festive season.
Boris Johnson made the announcement today after scientists said a mutation scientist scientists said a mutation of COVID-19 was spreading rapidly.
Yeah, it's mutated, bloody thing.
It's like a film where there's a mutation like that.
X-Men.
Sex men code in London, the southeast and east of England.
The variant is said to be much more contagious, but doesn't cause more.
Look how he's talking to you.
Look at how he's talking to you.
For a minute, just watch and look at the tone.
Listen, I'm not blaming the individual gentleman.
I'm sure he's a delight.
Although we have learned that, for example, Hugh Edwards, a very prominent BBC news broadcaster, has, I think, recently been convicted of pedophilia.
But don't let that bother you.
Doesn't cause more serious illness.
Wales and Scotland tonight have also tightened their coronavirus rules.
But the BBC hasn't tightened its pedophilia rules.
We keep having a mysteriously high number of paedophiles working for us.
From midnight tonight, new tier 4 restrictions come into force.
What they need is tiers for paedophiles working for them.
Like, right, we're allowed this many paedophiles.
Could we just have a couple more paedophiles?
No, that's the absolute maximum.
Maybe in some of your local news offices, you can sneak in a few extra paedophiles.
In London, the southeast and east of England, more than 17 million people are affected.
The public is being asked to stay at home and there will be no so-called Christmas bubbles for gatherings.
Have you forgotten how mad it was?
There will be no Christmas bubbles for gathering.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Who are you?
Who are you all?
Well, you're going to have to be in a Christmas bubble.
Well, what?
Hold up.
What's Christmas about?
Oh, well, what it was was, God came to earth in the form of a baby through the Immaculate Conception to prove that here on the carnal plane, you can achieve divinity and operate on the level of universal good.
Thanks.
So what do you want us to do?
Get in a Christmas bubble.
Whoa.
And a lot of these people won't believe in that.
A lot of them will go, you can't believe in Jesus, that's made up.
Now get in your fucking Christmas bubble.
Listen, if we're making stuff up, how about we make up something that empowers us, that believes that you are beautiful, that you're vital, that there are things that are more important than the appeasement and appeal of the senses, that there is glory.
That all sounds good, but it might burst your Christmas bubble.
Get-togethers will be restricted to meeting one other person in an open public space.
That is the level of control that they're aiming at.
It's brilliant to watch this again.
It's brilliant.
You can meet one person in a public place.
All they have to do now, now they've established some principles.
Now all they have to do is convince you that the conditions exist that legitimize it, i.e. a war with Russia, some sort of terrible financial crash.
I don't know.
My imagination is not as dark as theirs, and I've got a pretty dark imagination, baby.
They'll think of something that legitimizes this happening again.
That's what they'll do.
They'll just keep thinking of it.
Right, you've got to get in your Christmas bubble.
Get in your Easter cube.
Get in your Pentecost triangle.
Get into your satanic worship.
State-funded, evil, nefarious systems.
Put your hand up like this.
Bow down at the altar of Moloch.
Merry, Merry Satan must.
Shops will close, as well as gyms, beauty salons, and hairdressers.
Who decides what's non-essential business?
Who decides?
For those living in tiers one to three in England.
See, bureaucracy.
It's beautiful.
They bureaucratized everything.
Look at that coronavirus in the corner like a little sunshine.
Look at that bit in the corner, not the corner of the square, the outer periphery of the circumference there, like a little bowling ball.
That's the spy protein.
The virus itself was a construct.
The pandemic response was a construct.
The reporting on it was a construct.
The measures undertaken were a construct.
You're living in a counterfeit reality.
And the very people that tell you that Christ ain't real and it's a fairy story for children will tell you that it's time to get in your Christmas bubble and bow down at the altar of their peculiar bureaucracies.
Do you detect the hypocrisy?
Do you see that what they're creating is an illusory reality for you to inhabit?
Christmas bubble gatherings can only take place on Christmas Day.
They're trying to normalize the phrase Christmas bubbles.
Christmas plans have to be dropped and a third of the population is back under limited lockdown in less than two hours.
Look at the level of concern and consternation that went into this period.
Look at how they're talking.
Now think about you.
You're a person.
You live in the UK, right?
Or wherever you live.
How many people do you know that died of flat out COVID that wasn't either comorbid, like super obese, heart conditioned, or extremely old?
We know in retrospect that excess deaths have increased in the subsequent period.
More people are dying now than died during COVID.
That whole time was full of deception and lies.
You can prove it if you pay attention.
Their primary technique to prevent you from making these realizations is to distract you and bombard you and bedazzle you continually.
You are overstimulated.
All they have to do to prevent you from awakening up to the revolutionary state that this would induce in the sanest, most rational person is bewilder and distract you the whole time.
You'd be able to say, look, I know all these people that died from COVID.
Now, I know there's that wall opposite peculiarly, the houses of parliament, where there's always this spontaneous tribute to those that died of COVID.
A graffiti wall of hearts for every person.
Like, if you go through and investigate it, go through every single one.
And say, right, well, that person, how old were they?
Did they have any other conditions?
Right.
And then ask yourself this.
Is it worth giving up your freedom for?
Is it worth giving up your freedom?
What's a war?
I mean, they're about to conscript you in the UK for a war against Russia.
What are they going to say to you then?
What are they going to say to you?
Right, we're going to have a war with Russia.
Okay.
Well, why?
Who benefits?
Loads of questions, but okay, we're having a war with Russia.
What do you want us to do again?
What is it?
We want you to go on, keep talking, sign up for, yeah, the army and what might happen, fight, and what might happen in the fight, death.
And why?
Because there's something more important than life.
And who decides what that is?
We do.
Hmm.
Interesting.
It is with a very heavy heart, I must tell you.
Your heart's probably heavy because you've got myocarditis because you kept getting those fucking vaccines, you moron.
We cannot continue with Christmas as planned.
In England, those living in tier four areas should not mix with anyone outside their own household at Christmas.
Their own household?
Members of the actual government were having affairs with people from other households.
They were putting their genitals in other people's bodies.
That's minus distance.
Though support bubbles will remain in place.
Do you see how the language of emojis has invaded ordinary discourse?
Hands, face, space, repeat after me.
Hands, face, space, repeat after me.
Into the internment camp.
Clap along.
Here's your digital ID.
Eventually, they'll coach you into such rhythmic childishness, such a facsimile of innocence that you won't be able to think or identify reality.
Look at the traffic lights.
If it's red, stay inside.
If it's amber, you can look out your window.
If it's green, we're coming to your house to castrate you.
For those at particular risk of loneliness or isolation.
Everyone's at risk of loneliness and isolation.
That's what a human being is.
You are at risk of loneliness and isolation because you're in infinite space and you're being governed by the devil.
We have a particularly fast-moving Sir Patrick Vance.
How'd you get that knighthood, mate?
Who give you that knighthood?
Problem with increased numbers in the area going to tier four, but a generalised increase across the country.
The sort of combination of Boris Johnson's entitled certainty and the kind of rational academic confidence of that fella.
We're getting tier four.
It's all made up.
It's all made up.
None of it was real.
It was a pack of lies.
Oh, yeah, but didn't they do an inquiry?
Yeah.
In the inquiry, did they ask questions about Rishi Sunak's relationship with Moderna?
Did they ask questions about Moderna's new subsequent vaccine contracts?
Did they ask any questions about the inception, conception and manufacture of the virus itself?
Did they ask questions about the way that deaths were logged and registered?
Where's the data?
In our conversation with Dr. John Campbell, he revealed that the UK government are refusing to release the statistics about the number of people that have died from vaccine injury.
Why?
To protect you.
It's to protect you because of your anonymity.
Oh, you're still helping me.
Wow, you guys are going to help us right the way into the prison and right the way into the grave, aren't you?
On Wednesday, you told me and our viewers it would be inhuman to change the plans.
And now that's exactly what you've done.
Aren't the millions of people whose plans have just been torn up entitled to feel that you just left this too late?
We, of course, bitterly regret the...
What about this?
Listen, I've got an update for you.
I'm the news now.
Don't listen to them.
Don't trust them.
And don't do what they tell you.
And wait for the opportunity for that to happen.
And make sure you're ready for that.
Just make sure that when they tell you stuff, just go, I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing that.
I'm not going to comply.
You aren't in control of me.
I have a direct relationship with God.
I am matter infused by spirit somehow.
Somehow, I can, through my thoughts, control my cortex and my anatomy.
And maybe one day we will be able to control more than that.
I believe in glory.
I believe in God.
I believe in the resurrection of Christ Jesus.
So if you want me to do something, you're going to have to kill me.
Are you all right with that?
Because I am.
Here's the weather.
The changes that are necessary, but alas, when the facts change, you have to change your approach.

Professor Whitty, if someone is packing a bag right now, listening to or watching this, trying to leave the Southeast by midnight tonight, what should they do?
My short answer would be, please unpack it at this stage.
They're telling you what to do in your house.
In your actual house.
Right, unpack the bag.
Not that.
Now put your makeup bag back by the sink.
What's that?
If you've got enough socks, about those underpants, smell the gusset.
How much control do you want?
Pull the skin back.
Stop trying to control us.
Chris Whitty is working for a pharma company right now.
Crude liars.
They're all liars.
Here's the spectrum they exist on.
Corrupt to evil.
That's it.
Corrupt to evil.
So all you're trying to identify is corrupt or evil.
Or stupid.
There's also stupid.
If 2025 feels like a rerun of 2020, because they ain't got any, it's like movies, innit?
They've got no original ideas.
They're just rerunning old ones.
Who was it that started that remake of Douglas Moore's Arthur?
Questions from that year never went away.
And now, as the country inches back towards the language of restrictions, the question hangs ominously in the air.
If another crisis emerges, will the same machinery activate itself again quietly, automatically, and without the transparency that was promised?
Because if the last few weeks have shown us anything, is that the truth was not just delayed, it was buried.
And those who buried it are still holding the shovels.
But that's just what I think.
Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
Who do you trust more?
X or EU?
Probably X, because anyone can say what they want on X, right?
Welcome back, Squat Box this morning.
Is this show called Squat Box?
Is that what he said?
Welcome to Squatbox.
Squat over this.
I shit it out into your mouths.
Just eat it.
Just eat my squats.
Squatbox.
Well, squatbox.
Oh, God.
Oh, it's coming.
Oh, no.
I've lost control of it.
Elon Musk calling for the European Union to be abolished.
This after the block fines of social media company X, $140 million.
That followed Friday's decision by the European Commission.
Welcome, fuck, pig.
What are these new shows called Squat Box?
Fuck pick.
Welcome to shit mouth.
To hit X with the fine after a two-year investigation into the company under the EU's Digital Services Act.
Now, last week, the European Commission had said that infractions by X, which included what it called the deceptive design of X's blue check mark for verification.
Look, whether you like Elon Musk or not, I can tell you that how this process will have worked is something along these lines.
Shit, we're not in control of X.
We need to find a way to control X.
Okay, well, what can we possibly say is distinctly and uniquely wrong with X that wouldn't apply to Facebook or Instagram or YouTube or more favorable social media sites that we already have the leverage over and control that we require.
Oh, the ticks aren't good.
Yeah, start there.
A lack of advertising transparency and they say the failure to provide access to public data for researchers.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio calling the fine an attack by foreign governments on all American tech platforms.
So we'll see whether there is backlash from the US government about that.
Well, I sincerely hope so.
Our message was clear.
We have the rules which have to be complied with.
See, that's the tone that you need to be scared of.
That's the tone.
Don't be frightened so much of bombast, hyperbole, or even excessively enthusiastic people, like me, for example.
No, you need to be frightened of people like that.
And fully, it's just rules.
These are the people that will march you merrily into the internment camps, concentration camps and death chambers.
These are the people that will demand you put it's only the size of the grain of rice just underneath your skin.
It's only one of your children.
It's only sexual slavery.
These are the people that will justify and rationalise anything.
Listen carefully to the tone.
And otherwise there will be sanctions.
An EU Commissioner for Values and Transparency.
Why do you need one?
I think that the confidence has been weakened.
And I had quite a high level of confidence when it comes to Twitter.
I have to say that we worked with knowledgeable people.
I bet you did.
I bet you did.
We remember that when people got inside Twitter via Musk, journalists like Matt, you know, you remember all the journalists.
Anyway, like, you remember them.
They revealed the depths that deep state departments within the United States have been involved with managing and censoring information, and presumably that wasn't unique to the USA.
With the lawyers, with sociologists who understood that they have to behave in some decent way, not to cause really big harm to the society.
I always felt that this notion of responsibility was there.
So this is what I don't feel from Elon Musk personally.
As the European Union moves to fine X 120 million Euros, which isn't real money, under the guise of transparency, is Elon Musk correct in suggesting that the EU should be dismantled?
And do familiar foes such as Hillary Clinton link the censorship industrial complex on either side of the Atlantic?
Clinton and the EU, there's something for everyone.
Can we involve the Jews?
They'll find a way.
Hey!
The European Commission's decision to fine X 120 million Euros is officially a matter of transparency, at least that's the claim.
Yet the deeper one looks, the harder it becomes to ignore that this is less about consumer protection and more about disciplining a platform that refuses to fit into Europe's preferred structure of public communication.
The Commission insists that none of this involves censorship, but when regulations target visibility, verification, access to data, and government-aligned researchers, the line between transparency and speech control begins to blur.
The Digital Services Act is built around a model in which regulators and government-affiliated groups determine which information poses a systemic risk.
They then pressure platforms to treat the material as dangerous.
In practice, it creates a hierarchy of voices.
Under the older Twitter model, verification was a selective privilege often granted through opaque internal decisions or expensive advertising commitments.
Elon Musk's decision to make verification accessible to anyone disrupted that hierarchy.
The Commission now describes this shift as deceptive, but the truth is that it undermined the old media and political order that relied on verification as a badge of institutional authority.
Indeed, sigils, signs and emblems of power are precisely what's under threat right now.
Does anyone believe in the BBC anymore?
Does anyone trust the Conservative Party or the Labour Party or even the Republican Party or the Democrat Party?
Do you trust these brands anymore?
Hey, there's only one brand you can trust, baby, and you're listening to him right now.
And why can you trust me?
Because I recognise my own brokenness.
I recognise that I'm nothing if not a conduit for the higher truth of Christ Jesus, that you can get that more directly from the Bible and you'll ultimately receive it within yourself.
And you don't need anybody else, but you do need everybody else in order to receive it.
That's why you can trust me, because I'm explicitly telling you I'm flawed and broken.
What they're telling you is that they're reliable.
And when they can't persuade you that they're reliable, they will control you.
And when they can't control you anymore through direct violence, they'll control you through an environment of continual crisis so that violence seems favorable and you're in such a fierce state induced by overstimulation that you can't think straight no more.
Check out this beautiful experiment.
There was an experiment where two groups of dogs were held in electrified cages.
Let's call them group A and group B, both with five or six dogs in them.
Group A had access to a lever that meant they could turn off the electrical current that was running through the floor of their cage.
Group B did not have access to a lever.
In the end, Group B just lied down and took the shocks of stimulation.
The next phase of the experiment, always trust the science, follow the science, is both sets of dogs were placed into cage C.
They were subject to electric shocks in that cage, all of the dogs.
Now, here was the difference.
The cage in the second experiment was only a foot and a half high, and if the dogs wanted to, they could jump out.
They could get out of the cage if they wanted to.
Group A, that had in the previous cage had access to a lever, all got up and jumped out.
Group B, that had never had access to a lever, all just laid down and accepted it.
Remember that ultimately all of the information you receive is understood ultimately by you as an electromagnetic signal neurologically.
Even this voice now, which is vibration coming in through your ears or the light information that you're receiving through your eyes, is being received electromagnetically neurologically.
We are all in a cage where we're being, if not shocked, stimulated.
Occasionally you are shocked, but mostly you're in a state of continual stimulation.
Add to that that you're eating bad food, you're receiving deceptive information, you're being lied to and controlled continually.
The puppy analogy rings terrifyingly true.
Some of us have been given access to levers in the past, so we know there's a way out.
Other people don't believe there's a way out, so they're lying down and taking it.
What I'm telling you, all of you, whether you're in group A or group B, whether you believe it's possible to transcend, to escape, to reach the kingdom, or if you think there's no point, there ain't no point.
I'm not just lay down and take the thousand shocks that flesh is heir to, to quote Shakespeare.
The truth is that freedom is possible.
But in order to do that, you have to first survive, then escape, then control, then submit.
Those are the rules of jiu-jitsu, and those are the rules of life.
But that's just what I think.
Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
You live in a state of continual stimulation, a system that controls the electromagnetic impulses within your body.
Your body is a field, not an object.
You're not a blob.
Your material body is held in a field.
How else could it be?
How is it that cells know whether they're dental or oral?
How is it they know whether they're skeletal or cardiovascular?
The cells in your body are guided by a field.
All of the information within the cells is activated by an ulterior, evident, present, but less easy to observe set of information that's part of a greater whole.
Hey, complicated stuff, but what do you want to do?
Just sit around masturbating?
You can do that also.
It's not an either-or situation.
The rhetoric of transparency also masks how the DSA empowers government-selected researchers to access platform data for monitoring speech trends.
Many of these groups have previously collaborated with NGOs and law enforcement to flag political content for moderation.
This kind of stuff was happening to us all the time during the pandemic.
The Commission frames this as neutral oversight.
There's no such thing as neutral.
Musk frames it as feeding a censorship machine.
In either case, once governments decide who qualifies as a researcher and which post-war investigation, censorship no longer needs to be explicit.
It settles in quietly through data access requirements, compliance expectations, and the constant threat of fines.
They are geniuses.
It's no coincidence that the great Christian theologian C.S. Lewis, when depicting demonism, depicts them as within a bureaucracy.
You can't be evil if you tell people you're being evil.
You have to tell them you're helping them.
This is happening at the same time that European political leaders are pursuing more overt forms of speech regulation.
Emmanuel Marcon has called for a system that would create an officially certified class of media outlets.
The French state would effectively define which journalists count as legitimate and which do not.
I wonder if he's willing to do that with vaginas.
In Germany, Friedrich Merse has filed hundreds of criminal complaints over online insults.
Some cases have even led to home searches and phone seizures.
Germany already enforces some of the strictest online speech laws in Europe, and the idea that calling a politician a fool might trigger criminal procedure reveals how low the threshold for state involvement has become.
That's clear.
Is it a crime to insult somebody in public?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
And it's a crime to insult them online as well.
Yes.
The fine could be even higher if you insult someone in the internet.
Why?
Because in the internet, it stays there.
If we are talking here face-to-face, you insult me, I insult you, okay, finish.
But if you're in the internet, if I insult you or a politician...
That sticks around forever.
Yeah.
If somebody posts something that's not true and then somebody else reposts it or likes it, are they committing a crime?
In the case of reposting, it is a crime as well because the reader can't distinguish whether you just invented this or just reposted it.
That's the same for us.
The punishment for breaking hate speech laws can include jail time for repeat offenders.
But in most cases, a judge levies a stiff fine and sometimes keeps their devices.
How do people react when you take their phones from them?
They are shocked.
It's 6:01 on a Tuesday morning, and we were with state police as they raided this apartment in northwest Germany.
Inside, six armed officers searched a suspect's home, then seized his laptop and cell phone.
Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime.
The crime posting a racist cartoon online.
At the exact same time across Germany, more than 50 similar raids played out.
Part of what prosecutors say is a coordinated effort to curb online hate speech in Germany.
What is this, Victoria Britain?
You, sir, are Repscallion!
Would you mind coming with me, please?
I'm going to have to take you to further processing.
Well, no, sir, you're a cat, a bounder, a mountebunk.
There should be a lot of things done.
We should be, in my view, repealing something called Section 230, which gave platforms on the internet immunity because they were thought to be just pass-throughs, that they shouldn't be judged for the content that is posted.
But we now know that that was an overly simple view, that if the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control.
Across the whole Atlantic here in the U.S. of statesland, familiar voices are cheering Europe on.
Guess who?
Hillary Clinton has praised the Digital Services Act as a necessary tool for confronting what she describes as disinformation and extremism.
She's argued that platforms should be more accountable for the content they allow and has expressed concern over how young people are forming views on issues such as Israel and Palestine.
That our students, smart, well-educated young people from our own country, from around the world, where were they getting their information?
They were getting their information from social media, particularly TikTok.
That is where they were learning about what happened on October 7th, what happened in the days, weeks, and months to follow.
That's a serious problem.
It's a serious problem for democracy, whether it's Israel or the United States, and it's a serious problem for our young people.
And it was frankly shocking to me how little the students we were encountering, not only in this class we teach, which is a very large class, international relations about crisis decision-making, but students more generally.
And that's why I mentioned the social media piece of it, because when you would try to talk to them to engage in some kind of reasonable discussion, it was very difficult because they did not know history, they had very little context, and what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided, it was pure propaganda.
And so when you think about how to tell Israel's story, and it's important, it's not just looking internally, it's looking externally, and particularly looking at young people, because, you know, it's not just the usual suspects, it is a lot of young Jewish Americans who don't know the history and don't understand.
Eric, I was talking to Condi Rice, and she said in an interview that I did after the 20-point plan came out, she and I were on CBS, and she said, you know, when people were chanting from the river to the sea, she would ask the students what river, what sea they didn't know.
I had the same experience.
A lot of the challenge is with younger people.
More than 50% of young people in America get their news from social media.
So just pause on that for a second.
They are seeing short-form videos, some of them totally made up, some of them not at all representing what they claim to be showing, and that's where they get their information.
Her comments align closely with the broader censorship model that's developed in the United States and our country up, oh no, the UK, where government agencies, academic institutions, and large NGOs operate as a kind of distributed authority over digital discourse.
And I think the dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing.
And it's part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue.
It's really hard to govern today.
You can't, you know, there's no, the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't a fact have kind of been eviscerated to a certain degree.
And people go and people self-select where they go for their news or for their information.
And then you just get into a vicious cycle.
So it's really, really hard, much harder to build consensus today than at any time in the 45, 50 years I've been involved in this.
And, you know, there's a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you're going to have some accountability on facts, et cetera.
But look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to is sick and has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just hammer it out of existence.
So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully having, you know, winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change.
Now, obviously, there are some people in our country who are prepared to implement change in other ways.
And that's where we're seeing.
I'm not thinking really if democracy can survive unwrapping.
I think democracies are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges that we are facing.
And to me, that is part of what this race, this election is all about.
Will we break the fever in the United States?
Taken together, these developments evoke historical echoes that are very difficult to ignore.
During the McCarthy era, the United States government justified sweeping investigations and loyalist tests by invoking the need to root out subversion.
Senator Joe McCarthy's 1954 hearings targeted individuals for their associations, views, or insufficient enthusiasm for official narratives.
There was no formal ban on dissenting speech.
Yet the pressure exerted by the state and cooperating institutions chilled public expression.
Careers ended.
Publications avoided sensitive topics and people learned that the safest approach was silence.
We are their children.
We are in the cage.
These subtle electric currents continually stimulating us into compliance.
Unless you know there's a lever, baby.
He just wanted people to like him.
It's a documentary about me.
He would make you feel as if you were the only person that was important.
It's an interesting thing.
In some ways, he was quite a charming guy.
Any man who protects communists is not fit to wear that uniform, General.
It's funny because he's really into it, but he's sort of looking down.
He's not fit to wear that uniform, General.
This was a time when Americans are really worried about their standing against Russia.
A growing menace of communism.
Are you now under the direction of the Communist Party?
He realized he had a thing going.
He found his shtick at last.
McCarthy said, well, the way I read our rules, I can investigate anything.
The fight will continue, regardless of how rough the opposition gets and rough it will be.
But it never proved anything.
They just made lots of allegations.
He shouldn't be fighting communism, should focus on fighting male-pattern baldness and cultivating that weird horn in the center of his forehead, trying to cover his kind of cover a molten shoot of sins without any.
I will tell you that I will root out baldness.
I will use this little strand of inexplicable forehead hair to cover my whole brow.
And newspapers kept reporting McCarthy's allegations.
He tells a lie, and by the time you've responded to that, he's told three others.
But the full papers.
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
Do not confuse me with a bald person.
I've got my unicorn wig growing straight from there, covering my whole head.
The line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one, and the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.
McCarthy did not retreat.
He did not apologize.
Whenever he was hit, he hit back even harder.
It was dramatic television, real-life television.
You have this figure at the center of American politics who is reckless, who is destroying lives, who is creating polarization.
They're saying that he's Trump.
That's what this document is trying to do.
They're trying to say it's Trump, aren't they?
That's what they're doing.
Have you no sense of decency, sir?
At long laugh.
Have you left no sense of decency?
Ha ha, time six.
Of course they're trying to say it's Trump.
Notice how contemporary media elects which subjects you apply discernment to.
McCarthyism.
Be discerning now, 50 years later, now that it's irrelevant.
Trump, be discerning, because he happens to be in opposition to some of our cultural interests.
COVID.
No, actually here, we want fear and power to align neatly.
Do as you're told.
Trust the narrative.
Red's under the bed.
Ah, you could give it to your grandma.
Well, communism.
Yeah, I don't know either.
Earlier, the senator asked, upon what meat does this our Caesar feed?
Had he looked three lines earlier in Shakespeare's Caesar, he would have found this line, which is not altogether inappropriate.
Because that's what I did.
I looked three lines earlier to see if I could fuck him up.
And I did.
And here it is.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
No one familiar with the history of his country can deny that congressional committees are useful.

You filthy goddamn communists.
I barely dare look at you.
It is necessary to investigate before legislating.
No one knows what they're supposed to be doing.
The medium's too new.
Hello.
As far as a hello, is that you, son?
Is this my friends?
Hi, thanks for watching.
What?
You saw my titty then?
Oh, God.
Oh, my God.
It's Satan.
It's the devil's lantern, I tell you.
But the line between investigating and persecuting is a very fine one.
You better believe it, baby.
And the junior senator from Wisconsin has stepped over it repeatedly.
His primary achievement has been in confusing the public mind as between the internal and the external threats of communism.
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty.
We must remember always...
Hey, I like this dude!
Accusation is not proof.
Say it again.
Accusation is not proof.
Got it?
Accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.
Yeah, Edward Armoro.
We need to look down the barrel a bit more.
You've got a future in this industry.
We will not walk in fear, one of another.
We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine.
I've got this magnificent new machine, the teleprompter, where you can appear to be looking down the lens, but actually reading the whole time.
Well, that'll never take off.
And remember that we are not descended from fearful men.
Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate.
The fact that the news was quoting Shakespeare, that's some good stuff.
That's what we need.
We need a little bit of classical high value.
I believe it was Milton that said Paradise Lost.
But also want to have a bit of fun as well.
Oh, yeah, baby.
There's a target on Machist, Tommy.
And to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular.
This is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent, or for those who approve.
We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result.
There is no way for a citizen of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities.
As a nation, we have come into our full inheritance at a tender age.
We proclaim ourselves, as indeed we are, the defenders of freedom.
Brilliant, actually, isn't it?
Wherever it continues to exist in the world.
But we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
The actions of the junior senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad and given considerable comfort to our enemies.
And whose fault is that?
Not really his.
He didn't create this situation of fear.
He merely exploited it and rather successfully.
God, that's such sophisticated analysis.
It's not actually even his fault, really.
What kind of systems are these that generate the necessity, requirement, and even possibility for such malfeasance?
Cassius was right.
The whole thing's built around political betrayals in Shakespeare Caesar.
It's amazing.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.
Good night, and good luck.
The Red Scare was a reminder that censorship does not always come in the form of book burnings or explicit bans.
It can arrive wrapped in the language of safety, responsibility, and public integrity.
It can present itself as a polite request for cooperation.
It often relies on a network of aligned actors who enforce norms on behalf of the state, allowing governments to claim they're not directly restricting speech.
The pattern maps uncomfortably well onto the system emerging in Europe and the transatlantic network that supports it.
The Commission insists that its fight against X is not about content.
Perhaps technically that's true.
But regulations that determine who gets verified, who gets data, which researchers qualify for privileged status, and how visibility is algorithmically shaped, are entirely about content in practical and actual terms.
They define which voices rise and which sink.
They determine which topics become suspect and which narratives are approved.
Europe's own foundational documents state that every individual has the right to receive and impart information without interference from public authority.
It's difficult to square that principle with a regime that increasingly polices public communication through fines, pressure, and officially sanctioned gatekeepers.
If transparency becomes the pretext for a managed public sphere, the question is not whether censorship exists.
The question is how long governments can deny it while building the architecture for it in plain sight, which is the name of that documentary that the filthy, lying media, hard cash, Times, Sunday Times made about old Russ, a man who believes in freedom, sanctuary, glory, consent, and Christ.
Praise the Lord.

Get a Jeep.
This Jeep.
Every dollar you spend on TriReborn.com gets you entered a number of times.
It changes, depending on a bunch of laws that I don't understand.
Probably the EU decided.
Probably Ursula von der Leyen's behind that Jeep.
I wish she were under it.
I'd tell you that much.
That I'll tell you.
Didn't she look like a baddie from a kind of mid-Star Wars franchise movie?
Something about the hair.
I don't know.
Anyway, you can win that Jeep.
More important than Jeeps, though, is that you, for God's sake, stay free.
Zelensky is not a proper person.
Hello there, you awakening wonders.
As Western leaders continue to pour extraordinary sums of money into Ukraine, despite mountain evidence of entrenched corruption at the highest levels, is the narrative surrounding Vladimir Zelensky finally impossible to uphold?
Is it collapsing in short?
For years, Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky has been presented in Western media as the heroic face of democratic resistance, even though he speaks a bit like a Dalek.
Any suggestion of corruption or misuse of Western funds was dismissed as propaganda.
Yet the facade is now cracking.
In a striking term, the New York Times of all of the institutions in the world has acknowledged that Zelensky and his top aides facilitated the siphoning of billions in aid, the racists.
Remember, you couldn't say stuff like that.
You couldn't say like missiles are cropping up in cartel hands.
You couldn't say about the pipeline and all that.
The paper that once championed him is now documenting how his administration systematically, hydramatically, Greece lightning, sabotaged anti-corruption mechanisms, sidelined over zeitboards and cleared the path for embezzlement.
The worst of the bezelments.
A sprawling energy sector corruption scandal is rocking Ukraine.
Last Friday, the country was shocked by the exit of President Vlodymir Zelensky's chief of staff, Andrei Yermak, also Ukraine's second most powerful man.
He resigned after the state anti-corruption body raided his home.
As special correspondent Jack Hewson explains, it's a crisis striking at the heart of government as the country fights for survival against Russia's brutal invasion.
The scandal centers around Timor Mindich, Zelensky's former media business partner, and a number of cabinet members, including former Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Chernyshev.
The group were accused by investigators of embezzling public money that should have been spent on repairing Ukraine's energy grid.
Then on Friday, Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, was raided.
It's not confirmed if it was in connection with the energy scandal, but he has since resigned.
All involved are close to Zelensky.
Zelensky came to office six years ago on a wave of popular revulsion against corruption.
For decades, Ukraine has been synonymous with the word, and Zelensky's promise of a new leader untethered to the system led to a landslide.
Now, that bubble has burst bitterly.
Even long-standing defenders in the legacy press are beginning to concede what critics have argued since the beginning of the war.
The Times investigation describes the deliberate dismantling of guardrails meant to prevent abuse of Western money.
Leaders in Kiev even rewrote company charters, says the Times, to limit oversight, keeping the government in control and allowing hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent without outsiders poking around, the report notes.
Supervisory boards and key institutions, including the state-owned electricity provider, were neutralized.
The outcome was predictable.
A corruption scandal has erupted involving Zelensky's inner circle and the embezzlement, that's embezzle, bezel bezelment, baby, of $100 million from Ukraine's state-owned nuclear company.
Huh!
Despite these revelations, European governments continue to provide Ukraine with vast sums of money.
NATO leaders recently agreed to commit more than $1 billion each month for new weapons.
What is Zelensky?
In America, he's a hero.
Here's friend of the show, Gavin DeBecker, on Joe Rogan's show, offering the most brilliant analysis of Zelensky-Zelensky's rise and what Zelensky is really.
Incredible.
He's a real warrior.
He's got that nice green, you know, warrior suit on.
And here's the truth.
And people know parts of this story, but they don't know it in its cleanest narrative.
So he was a totally apolitical.
He was an outsider to politics, zero experience or interest in government or politics.
He was a comedian and with no manifesto, no party ties.
And he does a TV show, a planned TV show called Servant of the People.
And the main character in the show does a YouTube video that calls out oligarchs and corruption and eventually becomes popular and is drafted as a protest candidate and eventually becomes president.
So Zelensky played on a TV show a person who becomes president by popular demand.
In real life, the TV show is supported by an oligarch named Kolomoyski who owned the TV channel.
And Kolomoyski did a huge non-stop promo on that TV show to make it the number one show.
Prime time slots and ads everywhere and crossovers with the news and what have you.
2018, a year before the show goes off the air, Zelensky forms a political party called Servant of the People, the same title as the show.
And no press release, secretly done.
And then he does another season of the show.
And in April of 2019, he announces his actual candidacy on Instagram.
He has no campaign, no rallies, no real platform.
He skips the presidential debates.
Others attended.
He avoids press conferences, and the few that he did in the beginning were really bad.
And Kolomoyski's TV channel gave Zelensky's campaign endless airtime and favorable polls and went after his enemies.
The U.S. intelligence agencies, CIA and NSA, helped.
US spending $5 billion, by the way, on democracy campaigns in Ukraine, funneled through NGOs.
And USAID embeds advisors in his organization to help with the campaign.
I'm almost done.
And on election day, Zelensky wins with 73% of the vote.
Officials acknowledge the corruption, but claim that the risk must be tolerated.
Gotta tolerate the risk.
Gotta tolerate them.
The pattern is not new.
During the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers exposed how successive administrations concealed billions in US funds being lost to corruption within the South Vietnamese government.
Yet the war effort continued.
In the 1980s, the Iran Contra Fair pulled back the curtain, or you could say, if you wanted to, foreskin.
If you wanted, you can say it.
You can say it's not legal to say.
You could say pull back the curtain.
Or if you wanna, because you're free, you can say, pull back the foreskin.
I mean, it makes it a bit silly, even though we're doing some good research here.
And this is a good article, isn't it?
You can say, the Iran Contra Fair pulled back the foreskin on secret funding networks operating in Central America.
The scandal exposed the diversion of money, all this is still true, from weapons sales to Iran in order to finance the contra rebels in Nicaragua.
It showcased how shadowy financial channels hidden from public oversight could flourish under the cover of national security.
The parallels to Ukraine's supervisory boards being stripped of all foreign are difficult to ignore for anybody.
Similarly, after the US invasion of Iraq, sums of reconstruction money simply disappeared.
Billions in cash.
Shipments went unaccounted for.
And many of the officials who benefited were supported directly or indirectly by Washington.
With oversight failures brushed aside as the cost of maintaining influence in the region.
In both America and Europe today, the picture of what Mr. Reagan has been doing with Iran has finally begun to clarify.
Mr. Reagan's change of heart on Iran seems to have been triggered after the TWA hijacked to Beirut.
Iran helped free hostages then.
News was amazing, like even hostage attacks.
There you go, look, he's got a gun against that fellow's head.
This is what we're dealing with.
It's 1985.
You cannot trust these bloody Iran Contras.
And the White House saw an opportunity.
This is where Israel came into the picture.
Oh, okay.
I thought this was going to be some like uncontroversial historic 1980s fun news, but oh, here we go.
According to the Washington Post, Mr. David Kimchi of the Israeli Foreign Ministry suggested arms and spare parts as a way America could show good faith to Iran.
Arms and spare parts.
By September, it said the first delivery was underway, flown from Israel via Portugal to Tehran.
The authoritative Madrid newspaper El Pais says at least five American arms flights went to Tehran from Spanish airports in the past two years.
This is amazing.
This is the sort of stuff that's happening all the time now because of online media.
What the hell is that Egyptian jet doing there in Utah?
This doesn't make sense.
How extraordinary.
Why would Russia blow up their own pipeline?
So really all it is is now we've got a million monkeys in real life at typewriters continually and once in a while you get the perfect works of Shakespeare, notably from Edward Morrow.
One delivery in mid-September last year was immediately followed by the freeing in Lebanon of the American hostage, the Reverend Benjamin Weir.
Three months later, Robert McFarlane came to London for secret talks, followed in Washington by President Reagan's secret authorization of arms deals.
By the spring, Mr. McFarland was in Tehran itself on a secret four-day mission.
More arms followed in the summer, and another hostage was freed, the Reverend Lawrence Jenko.
Then this autumn, the same again, apparently another delivery, another hostage out of Beirut, Mr. David Jacobson.
Thus, the two most outspoken opponents of international terrorism, Israel and the United States, participated in moving arms shipments to Iran despite an American-imposed ban on doing so.
Any link to hostage releases is still denied.
The Foreign Office here said today they had known nothing of the deals.
But the former Foreign Secretary, Dr. David Owens, said that Britain too had been cheating on supplying arms to Iran as recently as two years ago.
Amazing.
Extraordinary.
Pay attention.
My fellow Americans, I've said on several occasions that I wouldn't comment about the recent congressional hearings on the Iran-Contra matter until the hearings were over.
Amazing, the tactics, some of the tactics remain consistent.
I'm not even going to comment on that Epstein business.
I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.
Yeah, that's not working.
I'm on that fucking island.
Well, that time has come, so tonight I want to talk about some of the lessons we've learned.
But rest assured, that's not my sole subject this evening.
I also want to talk about the future and getting on with things because the people's business is waiting.
Oh my God, it's the same.
It's the same, isn't it?
If you compare Reagan's handling of Iran-Contra and then look at the current White House's handling of the Epstein files, do you note the tactics are pretty similar?
Like, you know, look, we don't need to talk about this.
I don't want to dignify a response.
There's more important things than this.
Interesting.
These past nine months have been confusing and painful ones for the country.
I know you have doubts in your own minds about what happened in this whole episode.
What I hope is, not in doubt, however, is my commitment to the investigations themselves.
So far, we've had four investigations by the Justice Department, the Tower Board, the Independent Council, and the Congress.
We're in control of all of those.
I requested three of those investigations, and I endorsed and cooperated fully with the fourth, the Congressional Hearings, supplying over 250,000 pages of White House documents, including parts of my own private diaries.
Once I realized I hadn't been fully informed, I sought to find the answers.
Some of the answers I don't like.
As the Tower Board reported, and as I said last March, our original initiative rapidly got all tangled up in the sale of arms and the sale of arms got tangled up with hostages.
Secretary Schultz and Secretary Weinberger both predicted that the American people would immediately assume this whole plan was an arms for hostages deal and nothing more.
Well, unfortunately, their predictions were right.
As I said to you in March, I let my preoccupation with the hostages intrude into areas where it didn't belong.
The image, the reality of Americans in chains, deprived of their freedom and families so far from home, burdened my thoughts.
And this was a mistake.
My fellow Americans, I've thought long and often about how to explain to you what I intended to accomplish, but I respect you too much to make excuses.
The fact of the matter is that there's nothing I can say that would make the situation right.
I was stubborn in my pursuit of a policy that went astray.
As is it with Reagan, all of this is happening.
So much has passed in the interim, and I still think, primarily, what a fantastic head of hair.
Ukraine now appears to be repeating these stinking patterns.
Before the war, it was already considered one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.
I like that.
Look at this comparison between how the crisis, one liberal UK newspaper has reported on the same subject.
This is brilliant.
And obviously it's good because it's a diagnostic tool for bias.
Before the Ukraine crisis, the Guardian says, welcome to Ukraine, the most corrupt nation in Europe.
The fight for Ukraine is a fight for liberal ideas.
It's amazing.
And of course, what they'd say at the Guardian is, yeah, but everything changed because, you know, Zelensky was changing Ukraine and Ukraine wanted to join NATO and modernize.
But another argument would be, you can't trust the media.
The Pandora papers revealed offshore networks and questionable business dealings surrounding figures close to Zelensky.
The infusion of hundreds of billions of dollars since 2022 did not transform the system.
Instead, according to the New York Times, you and men alike, because you know the old days, it enabled the very people responsible for reform to entrench themselves further and profit from the chaos.
Yet portions of the US media continue to deflect attention.
While the Times investigates Ukrainian graft, popular hosts such as Rachel Madow and Stephen Colbert revive the familiar narrative that Donald Trump is compromised by Russia.
You remember, they said he got weed on, stuff like that.
The message is clear.
Don't look too closely at where your tax dollars are going.
Focus instead on a story that's never been substantiated just because there's we in it.
Well, I need more, more than we we.
I mean, literally, they wrote the plan for what they want Ukraine to do, and the White House put it on its letterhead and said, here it is.
You better do it.
And, you know, Russia is a podunk country.
They're a huge landmass, largest physical country in the world.
They've got an economy like the size of Italy, right?
They've got a kleptocratic, sclerotic government run by a guy who's never going to leave until he dies.
The idea that we work for him, that we work for them, is so humiliating and is such an abject failure on the part of Trump in terms of his weakness.
I don't know what Putin has on him, but he works for Putin and it's an embarrassment to this country.
I'm not taking those people seriously anymore, are you?
I just refuse, the Colberts, the Mad Owls.
It's over for them.
The unraveling of the Zelensky narrative raises a fundamental question.
If the country was mired in corruption before the war, and if its leadership is spending years dismantling oversight while receiving unprecedented foreign funding, and we know that stuff happened in the past, how deep does the rock go now?
Western governments justify the flow of money on the grounds of defending democracy, like always, democracy, got to defend democracy.
Yet the evidence suggests that those funds have bolstered a system that undermines the very values it claims to protect.
Wow, hypocrisy, irony, lies.
The historical record's clear.
When vast foreign resources collide with weak institutions and geopolitical urgency, there is corruption.
Ukraine is following the same script and the consequences are only beginning to surface.
And people that were ages ago raising questions like good old Rusty here, will we be proven right or will we just be rounded up and put in jail?
I don't know.
Why don't you decide?
Let me know in the comments and chat what you think.
Well, thank you very much for joining us today.
This Thursday will be live in Phoenix for the turning point event.
I'm actually going.
Me, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson.
Please, Lord, watch over us and protect us.
I'll see you there.
