[Applause] covet 19 19. i'm glow the wind of god this virus is nowhere near the numbers that say the data is wrong this is corruption beyond belief how many vaccines have you had have you been a good little nazi these are the companies that gave us the opioid crisis why does anybody think we can trust them i would not eliminate execution as an appropriate punishment the logo for biden it's not the letter e it's three straight red lines it's 666 in hebrew this is satan's last hurrah because he's really the ruler of this planet humanlist technology that's what we're talking about when we when we say 5g kills we could dismember we could fall apart what are you gonna do arrest me [Applause] we were getting ready to win this election frankly we did win this election you want to create apprehension hatred distrust this is a battle about what the truth actually is do you think aliens are still visiting earth now yes truth isn't truth this is unreal this whole nation is going to flip on the streets the struggles politically over the next 10 or 20 years are about what reality we actually live in [Music] [Music] on earth is that big huge yellow glow well fire you may be the first television audience to see a flying saucer [Music] oh hundreds of reports of strange objects in the sky have been filed with the air force here on this map are pinpointed locations where some 30 saucers have been cited and are still unexplained i was a counterintelligence specialist i handled color intelligence operations for the united states air force back in the early 80s we had a drone program at curling air force base highly classified back then so people would see these things flying around kirtland air force base and we try to deceive them or fool them to think that what they were seeing was in fact ufos and then it seemed to just go together make a ball and fly out into that field we co-opted news organizations local news media [Music] and we planted stories and they went along with it because they didn't know the truth how widespread was this operation i was very widespread it went all the way up through the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and then from there it would go up to the director of central intelligence and then from there would go to the white house looked like a big cigar shape with light lit from both ends do you think the lies you told about ufos damaged the public's trust in the media yes i'd have to say unfortunately it did because when the real story came out sometime later they were deceived by the media yeah just as we started down the woods well it went up through the trees do you believe it weakened the public's trust in the government as well well yes the public was deceived by the government and for all these years the government is still deceiving the public if you asked americans whether they had faith in the government to do the right thing in the mid-1960s 77 of them say yes i've got faith in the government ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country we go through vietnam we go through nixon [Music] [Applause] [Applause] that was a classic case where people suddenly realized that the people in the white house were a bunch of crooks people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook and they had overwhelming evidence of that well i'm not a crook i've earned everything i've got you had subsequent phenomena like the iran contra scandal by their very nature covert operations or special activities are a lie by the time we hit the 1980s and reagan we're down to about 25 percent of americans who say they trust the government one of reagan's greatest crises involved the secret sale of weapons to iran in violation of u. s policy we did not repeat did not trade weapons or anything else for hostages you then had the iraq war and all the business about weapons of mass destruction my colleagues every statement i make today is backed up by sources solid sources these are not assertions what we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence i had perpetrated a hoax on the un security council on february 5th 2003 today i feel some grievous remorse over it sodom hussein and his regime have made no effort no effort to disarm as required by the international community can you walk me through the moment when you realized that mistake we learned it all during the summer of 2003 after the presentation sodom hussein and his regime are concealing their efforts to produce more weapons of mass destruction as powell would walk through the door and tell me with a disconsolate look on his face another pillar just collapsed whether it was the stockpile of chemical biological weapons or the biological weapons labs imagine how i felt the day that they finally came in and said to me well you know we don't have four independent sources for that biological warfare van it's one guy and he's loopy and he's in a german jail and we've never talked to him hello throughout the summer powell was essentially involved both publicly and privately in trying to rationalize what we've done it was not a bad war if it's a good war sodom saying was an evil person he's gone that's good all of it fell apart over the summer by august it was all gone i understood the consequences of that of that failure i deeply regret that the information some of the information not all of it some of the information i presented which was multi-sourced was wrong can you give examples of other lives the us has told to justify the use of force in the world the most vivid case in my memory is the war i fought in the vietnam conflict until peace comes to south vietnam the allied force is pledged to support protect and defend a nation fighting for its very life [Music] i was the first lieutenant and a captain in that war and did my best to do what i was supposed to do for my country but i will tell you that when i found out later there were several reasons we persisted in that war in vietnam and none of them were god country apple pie mom security or anything else they were things like could lyndon baines johnson get re-elected if he cut and ran from vietnam it is by hanoi's choice and not ours and not the rest of the world that the war continues how does it make me feel makes me feel terrible it makes me feel like my country has failed me it makes me feel like my government has failed me it makes me feel like there is little to be trusted about the us government with regard to the national security state anymore the doctor is down in a rice paddy and the troops run to the safety of other craft you get this new class of guardians near conservatives emerging out of the wreckage of the vietnam war in the united states these politicians are advised by a new class of technical expert in politics in order to manufacture new realities and manufacture political stories give me some flames how about some screaming screaming's good some sound of screaming you have highly intelligent press handlers manipulators i told lies on behalf of the government sometimes at my own behalf sometimes because i was asked to do so the voice of senior bush advisor karl roves in the case of george w bush it was karl rove the ugly things that people say are at the heart of supposedly the kind of campaigns i run most of which are you know sort of fear-based smear-based mudball politics karl rove was one of the most powerful and eminent of the neoconservatives clique thank you again for this extraordinary opportunity and he very much believed that reality was not something which had passive existence out there is something you can actively recreate karl rove probably put it best when he said when an empire acts it creates reality what rove meant by that specific comment was that rome the british empire at its peak created reality in the world by the power they wielded both economic financial and military what we can do is mold and modify and influence the way people see the reality that can have effects on the reality that reality can be intervened on by ways in which people are influenced to see themselves and to see one another why is it that americans tolerate their reality being manipulated when presumably they could choose to reject that interference american people by and large are comfortable with that it brings them profit it brings them safety and security it brings them [Music] a reasonably good life they simply don't have the intellectual capacity to deal with what being an empire means so what you are doing quite deliberately as a political strategy in order to win elections is to create enormous divisions perilous divisions in the long term in society itself [Applause] you want to create apprehension hatred distrust these new realities they try to create always have a dividing line between us and them they're tearing down our statues why trust me the signs are there and these people are trying to overtake this country and this world for that matter because that is the easiest way of preying on the darkest elements inside the human soul and we all have dark elements inside us overheard carl say one time outside a chiefs of staff meeting he said you know if we milk this terrorist thing right we can stay in power for a long time it's purely ruthlessness the threat is so unknown and so dangerous that the vice president must be taken to an undisclosed location that in the event the president is dead we have continuity of government i fear life i was just talking to a friend of mine about learning how to hunt for deer with a bow and skin it myself we call it living off the grid meaning getting a farm somewhere in the middle of nowhere and living out that way [Music] as governments become less genuinely responsive to the needs of their people and increasingly serve a set of interests which are not those of the vast majority of the population then the notion that they are a force of good or that they are telling the truth similarly recedes the politics of a manipulative populism is the best way of describing it manipulative populism is about constructing false emotions or built anger hatred nearly 180 000 illegal immigrants with criminal records are tonight roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens [Music] if you're out after dark it's not going to be safe because of these people groups like black lives matter um the communist party i mean they've been very militant agitators they've been getting in people's eyes i mean it's not safe we are in a world where what politicians say what others say are completely detached now from a meaningful underlying reality this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration period when sean spicer says this is the biggest inauguration more people have come to this inauguration than the history of inaugurations part of me is sort of just rolling my eyes and thinking well this is just another ridiculous you know moment these attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration are shameful and wrong part of me is also thinking like how many people are really like buying this right now are people really buying into this if we ran a survey right now what percentage of trump supporters would say that they saw more people in the picture on the right than in the picture on the left this was a case where we could show them factual evidence like photographic evidence and see if they would still tell us that you know something that's not true right before their eyes is true to them a friend i worked with at a survey firm said let's do it and so the next day we put out the survey the results of our experiments showed that 15 of american adults basically said that they saw in the picture that had fewer people in it they said that's the one that had more people in it and that was the one from trump's inauguration in a way that's kind of quite astounding because it seems so completely obvious that there were more people present for obama's inauguration than for trump's the pictures seem completely clear now the interesting question there is did they say that because they believed it or did they say it because that's what their side required them to say what makes it interesting is this 15 wasn't seeing what was there in front of them to be seen our imaginations play tricks on us they often misinterpret what we see in here they were not seeing what was true because they were invested in seeing something else i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states the office of president of the united states we like to think that facts lead to beliefs but in fact beliefs affect how we approach facts when people already believe something showing them a fact doesn't necessarily help because they want to look at that fact through the prism of what they already believe so help me god what we see here is not simply a cynical form of lying but real self-deception let me give you an example there's a marx brother scene where groucho and chico they're trying not to appear in the same time come in oh your excellency i'm so glad you come i'm glad i come too the very marx brothers kind of scene and so groucho hides under the bed your excellency at one point margaret dumont says to chico she says but i saw you leave with my own eyes and chico says yeah but who do you believe me or your own eyes and i think that's a comic representation of a potentially very tragic period that we find ourselves in if people are not willing to believe their own eyes but believe a false ideology then we're not going to be able to meet in reality [Music] then people came up with lines like well there are facts and there are alternative facts sean spicer our press secretary gave alternative facts to that but the point remains alternative i think the invention of the notion of alternative facts when basically those are just patently untrue their lies their falsehoods uh is incredibly corrosive historically politicians would lie and try to get away with it they wouldn't lie in such a blatant way that everybody could easily fact-check it by looking at a simple photo and then go on national tv and defend a little lie honestly it looked like a million and a half people whatever it was it was but it went all the way back to the washington monument the classic discussion in norwell's 1984 about you know two plus two is five right where um you know winston the character is is is basically being tortured by by a representative of big brother who's trying to get him to believe that two plus two is five how many fingers winston four five four anything you like i only stopped and winston has great difficulty believing that two plus two is five and he has great difficulty believing that for the simple reason that two plus two is not five two and two make four sometimes sometimes they're five sometimes three or all of them at once two plus two will never evil five you can't construct your own truth in the sense that things are true or false independent of what you happen to think about on the other hand you can intervene and get people to think certain things or act in certain ways that might influence them to we say modify and alter the reality that they're living in do you think politicians are lying more often now in order to shape a false reality i think the deeper issue is not that lying is more prevalent i think lying is more prevalent but the ease of believing things that are false becomes more prevalent [Music] by the time we get to obama and then trump we're under 15 of americans who say they trust the government we want to do everything we can to help you succeed because if you succeed then the country succeeds usa usa usa usa what's happened in the u.
s is that the republican party in particular has started weaponizing that mistrust we are going to washington d. c and we are going to drain the swamp so they've taken an old populist trick the system's against you but i'm for you let me rise above the corrupt system and lead you to a new bright future trump has done this to a t that's what happened with drain the swamp it's a great phrase but it's true he's taken on the government dismissing much of it as the deep state unelected deep state operatives who defy the voters to push their own secret agendas are truly a threat to democracy itself but his primary enemy has been the media the media in this country is sold out there is no more journalism there is no more first amendment it's discussing what they've done the media has been lying to us one too many times and now we just don't believe them anymore so how did it come to this one step at a time one lie at a time they are the enemy of the people now more than ever you see people going up to reporters and calling them out for their lives that they've told but again they've gotten brazen you can't even reason with these people they're lying to your face they know they're lying to your face all those people just need to shut up this can be weaponized and manipulated and used by leaders because if they know that they're not going to be held accountable by their own supporters and that there aren't going to be severe electoral consequences for them then they're it's more reasonable for them to lie trump is a [ __ ] the bullshitter is more dangerous than a liar because the liar at least cares about where the truth is he will just say whatever it is he thinks will be helpful regardless of where the truth is like you'll go person woman man camera tv the fact that people then started to talk about you know alternative facts and alternative realities and we're now living in a post-truth world and so on what was really going on was the politicization of truth truth is true i don't mean to go like no it isn't truth truth isn't truth this has gone so wide that things that would be counted as completely out of bounds are now being counted as true because there are media and social media that can reinforce that where can someone go to get a truthful reading on what's really going on here individuals on the street so social media and people now with these cell phones with video cameras we can just take video wherever we go and then we can post it online and it spreads there's so many different narratives and messages being pushed on social media it's easy to create misinformation conspiracy theories and fake news and churn it out really effectively to large volumes of the population there was a time i think in which there was a very idealistic view that social media would be a great liberatory force to kind of suppress narratives and really find out the truth of matters but there are people who use those technologies intentionally in order to divorce us from what is the truth in order to impose their own sense of what the truth is for their own political purposes trump leveraged social media to spread misinformation at a scale that's probably never been used before maybe on earth he knows how to prey on people's deep insecurities by creating enemies which don't exist but exist in people's minds this is the new technology of political warfare he tells people don't don't trust uh institutions of higher learning don't trust universities don't trust professors don't trust uh scientists all of these experts oh we need an expert the experts are terrible early on so this is january 2020 when the very first cases of kovid were spreading from china and then to italy and then to the u. s trump and prominent elites in the republican media ecosphere said that this isn't going to be a big deal we have it totally under control we think we have it very well under control right now louisiana's doubling every three days florida's doubling every four in terms of the total cases in those states we're in very good shape we pretty much shut it down [Music] this has been a massive exercise in fear mongering when we have a virus that internationally has a death rate of 0.
6 it's well over 99 survival rate we've opened up new medical units in order to accommodate for this increased demand of patients who are coming in so ill what we started doing was that everybody in the hospital was given a covid diagnosis the scope of the seriousness of this infection is is extraordinary you could go into the hospital and die from a ruptured appendix or from a heart attack or a stroke and if they tested you or not they could put covid on your death certificate a lot of the rooms are all isolation now because every single patient for the most part is a cova diagnosis they're tripling the numbers they're doubling the numbers they're lying about the numbers the testing is faulty there was a coroner in washington state who was there to sign a bunch of death certificates and on a third of the death certificates it had covid as the cause of death and what the real cause of death was gunshot wounds [Music] the use of the companies that gave us the opioid crisis why does anybody think we can trust them we do not consent we will not comply you're dealing with companies that are serial criminals the four companies that make all 72 vaccines that are mandated for american children have paid since 2009 over 30 billion dollars in criminal penalties we're defrauding regulators for falsifying science for lying to doctors black mailing bribing doctors and medical regulators and for killing hundreds of thousands of americans what's really happened is we've seen the merger of two forces that are skeptical of traditional knowledge claims the anti-vaxx movement historically is a left-wing movement is this another eugenics experiment like tuskegee or forced sterilization [Music] we simply don't trust you and why would we as the junie miscovitz video pandemic started getting traction both in left-wing and in right-wing circles you have this sort of notion that all we can agree on is that nothing the government says about kovid should be believed with all the best intention we studied we learned what we thought was the truth we had no idea that that the the data that we were being told was true was not true then for reasons of political expediency donald trump felt like coved was a personal threat to his presidency and so what we saw was fascinating and terrifying i don't wear mess like him every time you see him he's got a mask he could be speaking 200 feet away from it he shows up with the biggest mask i've ever seen donald trump himself had said that you know if you wear a mask it's a signal of disloyalty to him look at you fools you got a doily on your face so what you saw at that phase of the pandemic you saw lots of viral videos of people in stores or shopping or restaurants who were supporters of donald trump who were freaking out when they were asked to wear masks there's a wildly irrational part of a human psyche which you can trace back you know to the witchcraft crazies of the 17th century your children and your children's children will be subjugated you would hope that people became a lot more rational [Music] in the last 20 to 30 years we have had a return to irrational behavior i will be asked how many vaccines have you had have you been a good little nazi [Music] there have always been conspiracy theories about pandemics in europe in the mid 14th century there was a plague known as the black death which killed a very large proportion of the population of europe now that was blamed on the jews as many conspiracy theories are the term conspiracy theory is an interesting term because it was a term that was originally popularized by the cia in order to discredit people who were saying at the warren commission which was the commission that investigated my uncle's assassination were crazy and that you know they shouldn't be paid attention to today the warren report attempts to unravel the dark twists into which the national treasury was thrown i think it's very tempting for people to look for a conspiratorial explanation then you can pin it on somebody the american people are awake and aware to the fact that manipulated viral strains are being waged against the people by corrupt individuals in our government there you go boom people know well i think you have to look at who's behind the entire pandemic propaganda and it's the people at the world economic forum it's the davos billionaires that fund it it's the people at google and apple and amazon all of the big tech people who have been trillions of dollars richer since this started so i think that we need to you know have bill gates you know in front of the judicial committee here in the senate and ask him what's his long-term vision for injecting everyone this vaccine because clearly it has nothing to do with stars cove 19.
