Talking Points
Here is a comprehensive, chronological list of distinct topics, claims, and statements from the transcript:
1. **Criminologist's Approach:** The speaker, identifying as a criminologist, approaches issues like pharma from a different perspective than a doctor or scientist, gaining an interesting view of the world.
2. **CIA Operations Overview:** Acknowledged CIA operations include Project Paperclip (bringing bioweapon scientists from Japan and Germany to start the US bioweapons program without prosecution), MK Ultra, and Project Mockingbird.
3. **Project Gladio Revealed:** This was a post-WWII OSS/CIA operation where American soldiers were left behind in Europe with hidden weapons and ammunition to combat communism and socialism. Instead, they carried out terroristic incidents against US allies.
4. **Gladio's Terroristic Acts:** These incidents included blowing up a train station in Bologna, Italy (85 killed, 285 injured), the 1989 assassination of a journalist writing about the project, another bombing killing 17, and an Octoberfest bombing in Germany killing 17. The purpose was to move public opinion towards more right-leaning or totalitarian governments.
5. **Assassination of Aldo Moro:** Project Gladio was responsible for the kidnapping and assassination of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro and his five bodyguards. These actions were carried out by the United States against its supposed allies.
6. **Scale and Conclusion of Project Gladio:** Hundreds of "leave-behinds" eventually formed a 20,000-person army across Europe. The project ended in 1990 during George Bush's presidency, initially denied but later confirmed by an Italian Prime Minister, leading to the release of imprisoned "terrorists" who were actually CIA operatives.
7. **Importance of Public Skepticism:** A lack of public skepticism leads to insufficient oversight of powerful centralized governments and other power centers. People buying official stories without question allows these centers to operate without accountability.
8. **US Does Not End Wars:** The United States tends not to end wars, instead maintaining large troop presences in countries like Germany, Japan, and South Korea, operating a form of "empire" through secret, continued engagement.
9. **Hypothetical Domestic Terrorism:** If a foreign entity carried out similar terrorist incidents within the US, the public would be rightly stressed and outraged.
10. **Criminologist's Purpose and Book:** The speaker's purpose, both in the conversation and in a new book, is to encourage Americans to be skeptical, as skepticism is essential for the public to control the government rather than vice-versa.
11. **Smith-Mundt Act and Propaganda:** The Obama administration's Smith-Mundt Act legalized the use of propaganda on American citizens, blurring the lines of truth and reality and allowing intelligence agencies to legally lie to the public in the interest of national security.
12. **Project Mockingbird's Evolution:** Project Mockingbird historically involved American journalists on the CIA payroll or with strong relationships. Although officially shut down by the Church Committee, its spirit likely adapted as all information is now international.
13. **Modern Information Control Example (Saudi Arabia):** In 2018-2019, Saudi Arabia used Twitter (before X) with bots and 40,000 human accounts to float and trend narratives, demonstrating how countries control perceptions, especially among younger populations.
14. **National Narratives and Control:** Every country has a narrative to control its population (e.g., "anyone can be president" in the US, "next life matters" in India, class structure in England). Religion is a historical example of a narrative controlling populations.
15. **Government's Conflict with Religion:** Governments dislike other power centers like the church. During COVID, liquor and big-box stores were allowed to operate, but churches were targeted and attempts were made to shut them down, despite constitutional protections for religion.
16. **COVID Lockdowns and Division:** Lockdowns intentionally created division by prohibiting communal gatherings for enjoyment (concerts, beaches). This division served as a source of power for governments.
17. **Intentionality of Lockdowns:** The speaker assesses intentionality by observed outcomes: every Western nation placed citizens under house arrest, closed businesses, and restricted freedoms. These lockdowns demonstrated government control on a scale comparable to major world wars.
18. **Intentionality of COVID Virus vs. Response Plans:** While unsure if the COVID virus release was intentional, the plans for the pandemic response were clearly intentional. "Event 201" in 2019 (featuring Gates, CIA, Chinese CDC, military, CBS) conducted tabletop exercises focused on information control during a pandemic, not health.
19. **Human Nature and Tyranny:** Viewing world history, tyranny is the natural order for human beings, with only a tiny sliver of time (Western Europe, US until 2020) experiencing significant freedom. Centralized governments naturally move towards tyranny.
20. **Releasing Illusions:** The speaker's personal suffering in recent years has come from resisting the letting go of illusions about fair courts, government respect for freedom, and constitutional adherence.
21. **Depth of Government Corruption:** Historical events like Operation Northwoods, MK Ultra, and the JFK assassination reveal a "bottomless pit" of corruption with no accountability, where no one was prosecuted.
22. **COVID and AIDS Pandemic Parallels:** Many people took COVID vaccines out of necessity, some experiencing adverse effects, similar to the AIDS pandemic and the power structures involved.
23. **Peter Duesberg's Work on AIDS:** Peter Duesberg's research highlighted concerns about the use of ACT (azidothymidine) during the AIDS pandemic. ACT, a profitable drug, was quickly approved despite questions about its efficacy and safety.
24. **ACT and AIDS Symptoms:** The speaker suggests a "darker reason" for ACT overdose: it produces symptoms similar to AIDS, thereby maintaining the perceived severity and numbers of the disease.
25. **House of Numbers Documentary:** The documentary "House of Numbers" discusses how AIDS definitions could be manipulated. It features young Fauci and Redfield asserting HIV as the absolute cause of AIDS, contrary to the Nobel laureate who discovered HIV and believed AIDS could exist without HIV and vice-versa.
26. **Personal Experience with HIV:** The speaker's HIV-positive son, after watching "House of Numbers," chose not to take medication and remains healthy, feeling worse only during a brief trial of the newer drug cocktail.
27. **AIDS Misconceptions:** Early claims that HIV positive status meant certain death without drugs, or that AIDS was easily transmissible in households via aerosol, proved untrue.
28. **Duesberg's AIDS Etiology:** Duesberg asserted that AIDS primarily affected hardcore drug users and the gay community, who often compromised their immune systems through drug use, excessive antibiotics, and poppers (amyl nitrate). Poppers specifically caused respiratory issues associated with AIDS.
29. **Manipulated AIDS Diagnostics:** The NIH and CDC frequently changed the definition of AIDS. Diagnostic methods differed significantly, as exemplified by the claim that one could be diagnosed with AIDS in Africa and "cured" in New York due to differing criteria. African diagnostics included questions about gay sex.
30. **The "Correct" House of Numbers Documentary:** There are two documentaries titled "House of Numbers" on YouTube; it is important to find the one by Brent Leung, as an opposing version was created to debunk it.
31. **Pushback Against Duesberg and ACT:** Joe Rogan faced significant backlash ("AIDS denier") for hosting Duesberg. Duesberg argued HIV was a weak virus, a symptom of a compromised immune system, not its cause. ACT, a chemotherapy drug that killed cancer patients quickly, was prescribed for life to AIDS patients.
32. **ACT and AIDS Mortality:** Use of ACT was associated with increased deaths; when ACT use declined, AIDS deaths also declined. The speaker questions why HIV didn't significantly transmit to the heterosexual community if it was highly contagious.
33. **Suppression of Dissenting Scientists:** Peter Duesberg, a brilliant cancer researcher, was marginalized and denied grants at Berkeley for challenging the AIDS narrative.
34. **Romanian Orphan's HIV Case:** A baby adopted from Romania tested HIV negative there, but positive in the US, was prescribed ACT, and deteriorated significantly. After Duesberg advised discontinuing ACT, the child recovered and lived a healthy life, eventually having her own child.
35. **COVID Vaccine Myocarditis Knowledge:** Officials like Albert Bourla cannot credibly claim ignorance about the risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis causing sudden death in young, athletic males, given early reports from two states confirming such deaths.
36. **Internet's Dual Role:** The internet facilitates the sharing of truth but also serves as a powerful control mechanism for governments engaging in an "information war."
37. **Suppression of Dissenting Voices:** Historically, scientists and professors who deviate from official narratives face professional consequences, including loss of grants, licenses, and being removed from public platforms (e.g., social media during COVID).
38. **Suppressed Vaccine Study:** A documentary titled "An Inconvenient Study" details how a Henry Ford Medical Center study comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children was suppressed by its lead researcher for fear of career repercussions.
39. **Questioning Established Narratives:** Certain historical events and scientific claims (e.g., AIDS, Holocaust, moon landing, Hitler's death) are presented as unquestionable facts. The speaker encourages skepticism, referencing anomalies in these narratives (e.g., skull fragment identified as female in Hitler's case, pilot claiming he flew Hitler out of Berlin).
40. **Using AI for Research:** AI tools like Grok and ChatGPT initially provide orthodox answers, but persistent questioning can reveal remarkable (though still requiring verification) alternative information.
41. **Debunking the Vaccine-Autism Link:** The claim that "vaccines cannot be linked to autism" is widely accepted, yet pediatricians cannot explain how it was "debunked." The "debunking" was done by the Institute of Medicine (IoM).
42. **Institute of Medicine's (IoM) Nature:** The IoM, despite its revered status, is a private organization, sometimes funded by government and pharmaceutical companies, not a government entity.
43. **IoM's "Debunking" Method Illustrated by Agent Orange:** The IoM used a method similar to its handling of Agent Orange claims. The US government knew Agent Orange was highly toxic (37 of 40 monkeys died in tests), but sprayed it in Vietnam, causing illness and deformities in troops and their children.
44. **Agent Orange Cover-up and Delay Tactics:** The monkey study on Agent Orange was classified top secret until the 2000s. The IoM conducted multiple studies over 22 years (2001-2014), consistently concluding "more studies needed," effectively delaying compensation until victims had died or given up.
45. **Admiral Zumwalt's Testimony:** Admiral Zumwalt, who ordered the use of Agent Orange and whose son died from its effects, testified to Congress that government and industry officials intentionally manipulated or withheld information about its adverse health effects.
46. **IoM's Broader "Debunking" Pattern:** The IoM consistently "debunked" other issues where the government faced compensation claims, including cancer from baby powder, Gulf War syndrome, silicone implants, anthrax vaccines, burn pits, and SIDS.
47. **SIDS "Debunking" Absurdity:** For SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), a category for undetermined baby deaths, the IoM concluded that while they didn't know its cause, "multiple vaccines" were definitively not the cause, despite existing correlations.
48. **Baby Powder Asbestos Cover-up:** Johnson & Johnson informed the FDA about cancer-causing asbestos in their talc-based baby powder. The FDA spent 44 years studying "how much is okay" (never considering zero), finally ruling in 2024, 52 years after the initial discovery. J&J now uses cornstarch.
49. **Gulf War Syndrome Causes:** Gulf War Syndrome is linked to factors like depleted uranium and squalene, an ingredient derived from shark liver and found in some childhood vaccines.
50. **Pharma's Dismissal of Individual Harm:** Pharmaceutical companies often dismiss individual adverse reactions by stating "millions are okay," contrasting with aviation accident investigations that meticulously study every incident. This approach is likened to claiming a plane crash was "95% effective" if only 5% of passengers died.
51. **Pharma's "Saves More Lives" Argument:** The industry argues that mass-prescribed medications save more lives than they cost, despite rare individual deaths from adverse reactions.
52. **Parental Responsibility for Vaccine Decisions:** Parents often administer vaccines without understanding their ingredients or potential risks. The speaker advocates for parents to individually assess the risk of contracting a disease, its severity, the vaccine's efficacy, and its potential harms.
53. **Tetanus Vaccine Efficacy and Necessity:** In the US, there are only 13 tetanus deaths and 154 cases per decade, mostly among the elderly. Tetanus is not transmissible and not caused by rust. It's extremely rare in developed nations. The vaccine can be given at the time of injury, eliminating the need for prophylactic shots in babies.
54. **Polio Vaccine Risks:** According to CDC, 99% of polio cases are asymptomatic, and there were zero deaths globally last year. Of the 500 paralysis cases in 2022, 97% were vaccine-induced (from the vaccine strain). People resist this "inconvenient truth."
55. **Book's QR Codes for Verification:** The speaker's book includes QR codes linking to original source material for every assertion, encouraging readers to verify information independently.
56. **MS and Vaccinations:** A CBS story suggested 94% of Multiple Sclerosis cases are found in vaccinated children. This raises questions about whether vaccines have other adverse effects beyond the target disease.
57. **COVID Vaccine for Children:** For children, the COVID vaccine offers "zero benefit" and potential risks like myocarditis and sudden death, making the risk-benefit equation "the easiest in history."
58. **Increase in Athlete Sudden Deaths:** The number of high school athletes dying suddenly during games increased significantly post-COVID vaccination (2021-2023), with hundreds of cases documented in the book "Cause Unknown," disproportionately affecting people under 45.
59. **Celebrity Adverse Events:** Public figures like Justin Bieber (facial paralysis) and his wife (brain bleed) experienced significant health issues following COVID vaccination, although direct causation was not claimed by them.
60. **Opposition from Vaccine Developers:** Robert Malone (mRNA technology developer) and Luc Montagnier (HIV discoverer) were strongly opposed to the COVID vaccine, particularly for children.
61. **Vaccines Are Not Uniform Products:** Parents must understand that "vaccine" is not a single product but a range of different substances with varying risk profiles and benefits.
62. **Mercury in Flu Vaccines:** Ethyl mercury (thimerosal) was in some flu vaccines until RFK Jr.'s advocacy, despite being illegal in other developed countries. Pharma's defense was "parents can choose," but pediatricians did not offer this choice.
63. **DDT and Polio-like Paralysis:** Widespread use of DDT in the 1940s is linked to paralysis in humans and farm animals, suggesting many polio cases were likely DDT poisoning, not the virus. Even President Roosevelt's paralysis is questioned as true polio.
64. **Mercury and Early Autism:** The earliest autism cases (Kanner syndrome) were linked to fathers working with mercury or mercury use in agriculture, indicating mercury's role in neurological injuries.
65. **Defense Against "Not a Doctor" Criticism:** The speaker anticipates criticism for not being a doctor, but asserts his role as a criminologist investigating matters and presenting publicly available, cited evidence.
66. **"Vaccine Good, Disease Bad" Marketing Fallacy:** This marketing ruse implies inevitability of disease without vaccination. However, the survival rate for a healthy American child for all common childhood vaccine diseases is 100%.
67. **Measles Death Rate:** For 22 years, there were no measles deaths in the US. The death rate for both vaccinated and unvaccinated children is zero. Historical measles death rates are from eras before modern sanitation and nutrition. Recent deaths are questioned as potentially due to poor medical care or comorbidities.
68. **Tetanus Vaccine Risk-Benefit:** The risk of a child dying from tetanus in the US is 1 in 154 million. The vaccine can be administered after an injury, removing the need for prophylactic vaccination in infants.
69. **BCG (Tuberculosis) Vaccine:** The BCG vaccine for tuberculosis is a century-old, widely used (except in the US) vaccine with additional health benefits for respiratory problems and bladder cancer. The US doesn't use it despite 9,000 cases per year, in contrast to the rarity of tetanus.
70. **Government Mandates and Parental Choice:** The idea of mandatory vaccines is compared to mandating football playing despite head injury risks. Parents should have the autonomy to make safety decisions for their children.
71. **RFK Jr.'s Joint Decision-Making Proposal:** RFK Jr. advocates for parents and pediatricians to make joint decisions about vaccine schedules. Pediatricians often oppose this due to financial incentives from vaccine administration.
72. **Historical Vaccine Ingredients:** Early vaccines used pus (cow, horse), ox bile, glycerin, potato slices, rabbit spinal cords, duck embryos, chicken blood, human bile, rat spleens, and boiled pig skin.
73. **Modern Vaccine Ingredients:** Contemporary childhood vaccines contain gelatin from boiled pig skin, chicken embryo protein, blood from cow fetuses, human fetus DNA fragments, shark liver oil, worm ovary proteins, monkey kidney DNA fragments, formaldehyde, polysorbate 80 (linked to infertility), potassium chloride (used in lethal injections), sodium borate, Triton X (spermicide), and until recently, ethyl mercury.
74. **Rationales for Vaccine Ingredients:** Ingredients like monkey kidneys are claimed to be necessary for growing pathogens, while mercury was presented as a preservative for multi-dose vials (though banned elsewhere).
75. **SV40 Contamination:** Simian virus 40 (SV40) was "accidentally" present in early polio vaccines (leading to recalls) and is also found in Pfizer COVID vaccine fragments.
76. **Pharma's Avoidance of New Approvals:** Pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to seek new vaccine approvals due to the billions of dollars and lengthy process involved, preferring to stick with existing formulations.
77. **Lack of Childhood Vaccine Safety Studies:** There is a lack of viable long-term safety information on childhood vaccines, with studies often lasting only 5-14 days.
78. **Studies Comparing Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Children:** Only three independent (non-government) studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children exist, showing significantly more health problems (asthma, ADHD, neurological issues) in vaccinated children.
79. **Fauci's Deception Regarding Studies:** Dr. Fauci falsely claimed to have studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated children, only to admit after being sued that no such studies existed.
80. **Fauci's 2014 Pardon:** Dr. Fauci received a pardon retroactive to 2014 for unspecified actions, raising questions about its necessity given he was not charged with any crime.
81. **Coping with the Scale of Corruption:** Dealing with the "depth of corruption" requires humor, distraction, and accepting that this behavior is "normal" for human nature, especially in large, centralized systems.
82. **Public Resistance to Truth:** Many people resist acknowledging systemic corruption and profit-driven motives, often dismissing inconvenient truths due to the difficulty of accepting a corrupted system.
83. **Amish Autism Rates:** Studies on the Amish community, who largely do not vaccinate, show significantly lower rates of autism (e.g., 70,000 times less) compared to the general population, with the rare cases linked to adoption and vaccination.
84. **Social Ostracization for Questioning Science:** People avoid questioning medical science due to fear of social ostracization, illustrated by children questioning unvaccinated peers during COVID.
85. **Joe Rogan's COVID Vaccine Experience:** Rogan initially considered the J&J vaccine but hesitated after it was pulled and two acquaintances had strokes. He and his family later contracted COVID, with his children having mild symptoms, while he used IV vitamins, sun exposure, and red light therapy.
86. **Media Disinformation During COVID:** Mainstream media (e.g., CNN, Rolling Stone) engaged in false narratives, such as altering Rogan's appearance or fabricating stories about ivermectin overdoses for gunshot victims.
87. **Ivermectin Suppression:** Ivermectin, an approved drug with a Nobel Prize, was suppressed and its availability curtailed to facilitate Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for COVID vaccines, which requires no existing approved treatments.
88. **Book's Aim for Persuasion:** The speaker's book uses well-established examples like Agent Orange and baby powder to build a case for skepticism about vaccines and other products.
89. **Challenging "That's Not What I Heard":** The speaker counters common dismissals by presenting verifiable information directly from an open laptop or through his book's QR codes.
90. **Public Health Lies on Vaccination During Pandemic:** Public health authorities ignored the established scientific principle of not vaccinating during a pandemic (which can create variants with leaky vaccines) and falsely blamed unvaccinated individuals for new variants.
91. **"Hitler's Professors" Analogy:** The historical use of "medical science" by the Hitler administration (professors publishing research on Jews spreading disease) illustrates how such science can be exploited for population control and manipulation.
92. **The Wannsee Conference:** This 1942 conference of Nazi officials planned the "Final Solution." Civilian officials, initially using euphemisms, became complicit in atrocities due to social pressure and incentives, demonstrating how "normal people" can participate in systemic evil.
93. **War and Casualties:** Generals in wartime anticipate and even value initial casualties as they "invigorate the war movement back home." This reflects a utilitarian approach to human life in the pursuit of strategic goals.
94. **Vioxx Scandal:** Merck knowingly marketed Vioxx despite side effects, leading to an estimated 200,000 deaths, paying large fines but generating massive profits.
95. **Pfizer's Criminal History:** Pfizer has incurred the largest criminal fine in US history, along with numerous other fines for illegal marketing, false claims, and paying kickbacks to healthcare providers.
96. **Johnson & Johnson's Criminal History:** J&J has faced multi-billion dollar fines for asbestos in baby powder and for its role in the opioid crisis (deceptive marketing, downplaying risks).
97. **GlaxoSmithKline's Criminal History:** GlaxoSmithKline engaged in extensive criminality, including bribing doctors through 700 middlemen, to "bribe to prescribe" drugs, often for patients who did not need them.
98. **Merck's MMR Vaccine Fraud:** Whistleblowers revealed Merck tested its MMR vaccine against a non-existent variant of MS, and added rabbit blood to human samples to pass the test and meet requirements.
99. **Eli Lilly's Zyprexa Scandal:** Eli Lilly marketed Zyprexa despite knowledge of severe side effects, including swelling, drooling, stroke, heart attack, and sudden death. While paying billions in settlements, they earned $40 billion in revenue.
100. **Overall Pharma Criminality and Lack of Trust:** Over 31 years, pharmaceutical manufacturers paid $62 billion in fines but made trillions, with most being repeat offenders. The speaker questions why these companies are still trusted.
101. **Pharma's Immunity from Liability:** Pharmaceutical companies enjoy immunity from liability for vaccine-related damages, a situation they allegedly argued for by stating vaccines "cannot be both safe and effective."
102. **Mercury as Adjuvant:** While claimed as a preservative, mercury (like aluminum) was likely used as an adjuvant in vaccines to irritate the body and provoke a stronger immune response, thus "getting the numbers to work."
103. **Ethyl vs. Methyl Mercury Deception:** Pharma claims ethyl mercury (in vaccines) is safer than methyl mercury (in fish) because it clears the bloodstream faster. However, ethyl mercury accumulates in the brain and persists for years, a fact they omit.
104. **Doctors' Reliance on CDC:** Doctors often rely on the CDC website for vaccine information rather than conducting their own scientific research. Pediatricians are often unaware of detailed vaccine ingredients.
105. **"Ask Your Doctor" Strategy:** The speaker suggests asking pediatricians in person about vaccine ingredients, implying they will be unable to answer, highlighting their lack of detailed knowledge.
106. **Pediatricians as a "Priesthood":** Pediatricians are likened to a "priesthood," adhering to established "truths" about vaccines (vaccine good, disease bad) to maintain their status, respect, and financial viability.
107. **Kissinger Report and Population Reduction:** The 1972 Kissinger Report, an official (now declassified) US foreign policy directive, aimed for population reduction in 12 specific foreign countries to maintain US access to their raw materials by hindering their development.
108. **Population Reduction Methods:** Strategies included medicalizing birth control, paying young men for vasectomies, and developing injections to temporarily reduce male fertility.
109. **HCG in Tetanus Vaccines:** In countries like India and Peru, forced sterilization surgeries and tetanus vaccines secretly containing hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) were administered to women to reduce fertility, a mission tied to organizations like the WHO and mentioned by Bill Gates.
110. **COVID Vaccine's Fertility Impact:** The COVID vaccine temporarily reduces sperm count in men for three months (acknowledged by Fauci), aligning with Kissinger Report strategies. Miscarriages and stillbirths also increased.
111. **Overpopulation vs. Resource Distribution:** The speaker disputes the overpopulation narrative, noting that many countries are below replacement birth rates and the entire global population could fit in New York State. The actual issue is food distribution.
112. **Planned Parenthood's Origins:** The founder of Planned Parenthood was interested in population reduction. The speaker is re-evaluating his past support for the organization.
113. **Nuclear Power and Weapons Proliferation:** Providing nuclear power plants to developing countries risks them converting to nuclear weapons (e.g., India and Pakistan), creating a dilemma for global energy and development.
114. **Cynicism of Foreign Aid:** The Kissinger Report's objective reveals how foreign aid can be a cynical tool to prevent development in other countries while appearing to help.
115. **Leaked IoM Vaccine-Autism Study Transcripts:** Leaked transcripts of a closed IoM session on vaccines and autism (or "brain damage") revealed initial pronouncements: secrecy, no changes to vaccine policy, and a commitment not to link vaccines to autism. The CDC specifically requested a conclusion that vaccines were "pretty safe."
116. **IoM Meeting Dysfunction on Autism:** The IoM panel spent days debating "what the question really is" regarding vaccines and autism, with one doctor speaking incomprehensibly and another using "blah blah blah" for observational studies. They deliberately created confusion.
117. **IoM's Pre-Determined Conclusion:** The panel ultimately decided their information was "inadequate to accept or reject" a causal link between vaccines and autism, and controversially, recommended "no further study" on the matter. This process is how "debunking campaigns" are made.
118. **Intentionality of Social Movements:** Few large social movements, like the COVID response, are "purely organic events"; rather, they are intentional and planned.
119. **Intentional Virus Release (Open Question):** While the speaker is open to the idea of an intentional virus release, he cannot definitively confirm it. He cites historical US bioweapons research (e.g., infected ticks dropped on Cuba, Plum Island research potentially linked to Lyme disease) as examples of intentional pathogen release.
120. **Lyme Disease Origin:** Research at Plum Island, near Lyme, Connecticut, involved infecting ticks with various pathogens for bioweapon purposes. The ubiquitous and severe nature of modern Lyme disease is new, even if a version existed anciently.
121. **Rockefeller Foundation and Polio:** The Rockefeller Foundation funded gain-of-function research on polio, coinciding with a major polio outbreak in New York.
122. **Gain-of-Function Research Risks:** Gain-of-function research, despite objections (e.g., from President Obama), was offshored to China and is considered "mad scientist insane" for making viruses worse without accompanying cures.
123. **Peter Daszak and Bioweapons:** Dr. Peter Daszak, who advocated for gain-of-function research, proposed creating bioweapons with accompanying vaccines that would grant immunity to friendly troops—a "science fiction" scenario that still lacked an effective vaccine.
124. **Humanity's Investment in Weapons:** Throughout history, the greatest funding consistently goes to weapons development, giving scientists increased importance for developing tools like nuclear and bioweapons. Ethnically targeted bioweapons are likely being pursued by superpowers.
125. **Bioweapons Labs in US and Abroad:** The existence of high-level bioweapons labs (e.g., Boston University, 60 US-funded labs in Ukraine) raises significant concerns and is a potential reason for geopolitical tensions.
126. **Zelenskyy's Political Genesis:** Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, originally an apolitical comedian, gained prominence through a TV show ("Servant of the People") depicting a protest candidate becoming president. This show was heavily promoted by an oligarch, and Zelenskyy then formed a political party using the same name.
127. **US Influence in Zelenskyy's Campaign:** Zelenskyy's real-life campaign involved no rallies or platform, avoided debates, and was heavily favored by the oligarch's TV channel. US intelligence agencies (CIA, NSA) and USAID provided $5 billion in "democracy campaigns" and embedded advisors.
128. **Zelenskyy's Post-Election Actions:** After winning with 73% of the vote, Zelenskyy declared martial law and canceled the 2024 elections, presenting him as a "construct" rather than an organically elected leader.
129. **Wars as Non-Organic Events:** Wars are multi-billion dollar events that are not "organic" or spontaneously decided by leaders; they are about "primacy and control and wealth."
130. **War Narratives and Control:** All wars are presented with justifications, but these narratives serve to conceal underlying motivations of wealth and control. Modern warfare is increasingly electronic, with the US providing intelligence and weaponry in conflicts like Ukraine.
131. **Acceptance of Human Nature:** The speaker advocates for accepting that phenomena like corruption and violence are part of human nature, especially in large groups and centralized governments.
132. **Optimism from COVID Experience:** Despite the dark outcomes, the COVID era fostered stronger, more authentic personal relationships and a renewed appreciation for freedom and travel.
133. **Joe Rogan's Heroism:** Joe Rogan is lauded for putting himself "on the line" by publicly discussing controversial topics, inspiring optimism.
134. **Media's Corruption and Responsibility for Suffering:** Mainstream media (e.g., NYT, Washington Post) are deeply corrupted, often funded by pharma, and are largely responsible for the public's suffering by suppressing truth.
135. **COVID Lockdowns' Death Toll:** Six million "regular" deaths in America during COVID years were attributed to people being unable to access hospitals or be with dying loved ones.
136. **Opportunity for Resistance in America:** Americans have a greater opportunity to resist government overreach than many other countries, fostering hope for increased skepticism.
137. **Accepting Decay as Normal:** The speaker has had to accept that much of what he found outrageous (e.g., government corruption) is "normal" and part of the decay of empires.
138. **Personal Gullibility:** The speaker acknowledges his own past gullibility, admitting he never imagined the extent of corruption in pharmaceutical companies.
139. **Lack of Accountability for Pharma Executives:** Pharmaceutical company executives face no personal penalties for their actions, with fines merely absorbed as a cost of doing business while profits continue to be massive.
140. **Combined COVID/Flu Shots:** The practice of administering combined COVID and flu shots is questioned, particularly in light of vaccine package inserts listing pre-existing conditions (e.g., diabetes, heart disease history) as making individuals vulnerable to adverse effects.
141. **Monkeypox (Empox) Vaccine:** The smallpox vaccine was rolled out for monkeypox, with officials attempting to create widespread fear. Despite efforts, few cases were found, yet a million people took the vaccine, and CDC recommended two doses. The name was later changed to "Empox" to sound more threatening.
142. **1984 Sales Surge:** George Orwell's "1984" becoming a bestseller in 2021 indicates a rise in public awareness and critical thinking.
143. **"Forbidden Facts" Book Purpose:** The speaker's book, "Forbidden Facts," is sold at cost (e.g., $5 ebook) to encourage skepticism and realism, not for profit.
144. **Low COVID Vaccine Uptake in Infants:** Very few parents chose to vaccinate their infants (6 months old) against COVID, even where it was recommended, suggesting growing parental skepticism.
145. **California Vaccine Mandates and Exemptions:** California is attempting to remove religious exemptions for school vaccine mandates, which is criticized as being "nuts."
146. **Company Relocation to Texas:** The speaker moved his company headquarters from California to San Antonio, Texas, due to greater freedom and a more positive business environment.
147. **Company Health Screening Results:** His company, which does not mandate vaccines, tested all applicants (young, fit, non-smoking men) for cardiac indicators (troponin and D-dimer). Of the first 54 applicants, 17 had elevated levels requiring cardiologist visits, and one vaccinated 31-year-old died during a physical fitness run.
148. **Dr. Harvey Risch's Advice:** Dr. Harvey Risch, a prominent Yale doctor who opposed vaccine mandates, advised the speaker to screen employees for cardiac markers, especially those undergoing physical exertion.
149. **Cleveland Clinic D-Dimer Study:** A Cleveland Clinic study showed elevated D-dimer levels (indicating micro-clotting) in many healthcare professionals post-COVID vaccination who did not have them before.
150. **Unreported Positive Developments:** Corporate media intentionally omits reporting on positive developments like the removal of mercury from some vaccines, halting of mRNA research, and recommendations against fluoride in water, often due to their bias against figures like RFK Jr. and funding from pharma.
151. **Negative Media Coverage of RFK Jr.:** Mainstream news outlets exhibit overwhelming negative bias against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with over 90% negative coverage.
152. **California's Decline:** California, particularly San Francisco, is experiencing social decay, with boarded-up stores, homelessness, and crime, despite consistent voting patterns that fail to address these issues.
