Latest / V / Kamala And Mexican Government Are Colluding To Steal 2024 Election (Ep.35)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bungie and Report Early Edition.
- 0:02Speaker 1: I've got a lot of stories to get to today.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Kenya is rolling out digital IDs using biometric data. Kamala,
- 0:11Speaker 1: Tim Walz, and Obama decry free expression while implicitly supporting
- 0:17Speaker 1: Brazil's ban of X. Global elites demonize French nationalist leader
- 0:23Speaker 1: Marine Le Pen. The Mexican government is providing military-escorted bus
- 0:28Speaker 1: rides for illegals entering the U.S. A Venezuelan gang takes
- 0:32Speaker 1: over an apartment complex in Chicago. is offering visas for
- 0:36Speaker 1: Westerners looking to flee the destructive neoliberal ideology. And the
- 0:42Speaker 1: NASA astronauts stranded in space are hearing strange noises from
- 0:46Speaker 1: the Boeing Starliner. We'll talk about why it may be
- 0:49Speaker 1: something else. All this on Bongina Report, early edition. Guys,
- 1:05Speaker 1: the new world order is closing in on us fast.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Kenya's multi-billion dollar digital ID system known as Puruma Namba
- 1:17Speaker 1: intends to digitize citizens' biometric data. And by biometric data,
- 1:22Speaker 1: I mean the irises of your eyes, fingerprints, facial recognition.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Here is Kenya's Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary discussing
- 1:32Speaker 1: the project.
- 1:33Speaker 2: We have an ID system in Kenya which is semi-automated.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Part of it is a bit of automation, but quite minimal.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Going forward, we are looking at upgrading our current automated
- 1:47Speaker 2: fingerprint identification system, AFIS, into an automated biometric identification system,
- 1:58Speaker 2: which goes beyond the fingerprints and involves the iris, the fingerprints,
- 2:10Speaker 2: as well as facial recognition. The other thing, Your Excellency,
- 2:15Speaker 2: is that going forward, we are moving towards an electronic
- 2:21Speaker 2: ID with a machine-readable chip and QR code, And eventually
- 2:29Speaker 2: this should lead us to a digital ID system.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Okay.
- 2:36Speaker 1: So I should also note that the Bill and Melinda
- 2:38Speaker 1: Gates Foundation has reportedly advised Kenya on this project. And
- 2:43Speaker 1: what's funny is if you look it up online anywhere,
- 2:46Speaker 1: there'll be flag checks saying, no, Bill and Melinda Gates,
- 2:48Speaker 1: they're not behind all this. But then of course, there
- 2:51Speaker 1: are also reports that they are advising Kenya on this project.
- 2:54Speaker 1: So Bill Gates, he always shows up in these stories.
- 2:56Speaker 1: It's kind of funny. Now, there have been some legal
- 2:59Speaker 1: challenges to this new digital ID system, so it hasn't
- 3:01Speaker 1: been fully rolled out yet, but it is only a
- 3:04Speaker 1: matter of time. And I bring this story up to
- 3:06Speaker 1: you guys because if you want to know what the
- 3:09Speaker 1: permanent state has in mind for all of us, you
- 3:11Speaker 1: have to look to the third world. Dystopian climate measures,
- 3:15Speaker 1: the surveillance policies, they're all rolled out in countries like Kenya,
- 3:21Speaker 1: other parts of the third world first. It's where the
- 3:24Speaker 1: globalists like to experiment. It's what we call, really... neo-colonialism.
- 3:30Speaker 1: And former State Department official and deep state whistleblower who
- 3:32Speaker 1: we love here on this show, Mike Benz, has said
- 3:35Speaker 1: this before. There's really no difference between foreign and domestic
- 3:40Speaker 1: American policy. It's all the same. What the elites push
- 3:44Speaker 1: on Kenya or Sri Lanka is what they want to
- 3:47Speaker 1: do here in America. There's a reason why, as Brazil
- 3:51Speaker 1: has banned X, we've seen radio silence from Democrat leaders
- 3:55Speaker 1: in the and Tim Walz both have repeatedly endorsed the
- 4:01Speaker 1: three main censorship tactics used by the Brazilian government, which
- 4:05Speaker 1: is censorship of election misinformation, deplatforming political opponents, and cross-platform bans,
- 4:12Speaker 1: which are bans of a person, not just from one
- 4:15Speaker 1: social media platform, but from many or even all of them.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Here is Kamala in 2019 calling for then-President Trump to
- 4:22Speaker 1: be deplatformed in that exact way.
- 4:25Speaker 4: He has lost his privileges and it should be taken down.
- 4:28Speaker 4: And the bottom line is that you can't say that
- 4:30Speaker 4: you have one rule for Facebook and you have a
- 4:32Speaker 4: different rule for Twitter. The same rule has to apply,
- 4:34Speaker 4: which is that there has to be a responsibility that
- 4:39Speaker 4: is placed on these social media sites to understand their power.
- 4:42Speaker 4: They are directly speaking to millions and millions of people
- 4:46Speaker 4: without any level of oversight or regulation. And that has
- 4:52Speaker 4: to stop.
- 4:55Speaker 1: She wants the government to be the arbiter of truth,
- 4:57Speaker 1: you guys. That is essentially what she's saying there. Here
- 5:00Speaker 1: is Tim Walz saying that there's no guarantee to free speech.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I think we need to push back on this.
- 5:06Speaker 5: There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech,
- 5:10Speaker 5: and especially around our democracy.
- 5:13Speaker 1: This is just false. The First Amendment does not exist
- 5:17Speaker 1: to permit speech that Tim Walz approves of. If that
- 5:20Speaker 1: were the case, speech in America would not be free.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Here's Obama at the Stanford Internet Observatory praising European-style disinformation
- 5:29Speaker 1: speech laws.
- 5:31Speaker 6: While content moderation can limit the distribution of clearly dangerous content,
- 5:38Speaker 6: it doesn't go far enough. Users who want to spread
- 5:42Speaker 6: disinformation have become experts at pushing right up to the
- 5:45Speaker 6: line of what at least published company policies allow. And
- 5:50Speaker 6: at those margins, social media platforms tend not to want
- 5:55Speaker 6: to do anything, not just because they don't want to
- 5:58Speaker 6: be accused of censorship, but because they still have a
- 6:01Speaker 6: financial incentive to keep as many users engaged as possible. Now,
- 6:09Speaker 6: some companies have been taking the next step in managing
- 6:12Speaker 6: toxic content, experimenting with new product designs that to use
- 6:20Speaker 6: just one example, add friction to slow the spread of
- 6:23Speaker 6: potentially harmful content. And that kind of innovation is a
- 6:28Speaker 6: step in the right direction. It should be applauded. But
- 6:34Speaker 6: I also think decisions like this shouldn't be left solely
- 6:39Speaker 6: to private interests. These decisions affect all of us. And
- 6:45Speaker 6: just like every other industry that has a big impact
- 6:48Speaker 6: in our society, that means these big platforms need to
- 6:51Speaker 6: be subject to some level of public oversight and regulation.
- 6:57Speaker 1: So let me just translate the Obama speak, right? Public
- 7:00Speaker 1: oversight regulation. He's saying the government needs to decide what
- 7:05Speaker 1: we can and can't say. The government needs to be
- 7:08Speaker 1: the arbiter of truth. They cloud all their language with,
- 7:14Speaker 1: with things that make it seem permissible, make it seem
- 7:17Speaker 1: reasonable and normal. And it's a complete violation of the
- 7:20Speaker 1: First Amendment. It's not normal. It's Orwellian. It is autocratic.
- 7:26Speaker 1: And for years, Democrats have sought to regulate social media
- 7:29Speaker 1: platforms via the executive branch and Congress. This is per
- 7:33Speaker 1: Michael Schellenberger. In 2021 and 2022, Democrats in the House
- 7:37Speaker 1: and Senate introduced the Justice Against Malicious Algorithms Act, Algorithmic
- 7:42Speaker 1: Justice Act, and the Social Media Nudge Act to require
- 7:45Speaker 1: social media companies to censor content that could cause emotional injury,
- 7:50Speaker 1: ban algorithms that result in discrimination or similar harms, and
- 7:53Speaker 1: impose limits on account creation and content sharing of disfavored
- 7:57Speaker 1: individuals and their views. And we also can't forget that
- 8:01Speaker 1: the Biden administration's disinformation governance board, AKA the Biden administration's
- 8:07Speaker 1: ministry of truth was almost a real thing. There is
- 8:11Speaker 1: a reason the white house has not said anything about
- 8:14Speaker 1: what's happening in Brazil. We got a piddly little statement.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I believe from the state department that they're monitoring the situation.
- 8:21Speaker 1: But other than that, there's no, there's no denouncing of
- 8:25Speaker 1: what Brazil is doing. The government hasn't threatened sanctions on Brazil,
- 8:29Speaker 1: let alone threatened to revoke the $ 200 million in foreign
- 8:33Speaker 1: government assistance that we give to Brazil.
- 8:36Speaker 7: Nothing.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Radio silence from our government. And this is because the U.S.
- 8:40Speaker 1: permanent state doesn't just approve of the censorship. They created it.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Per Mike Benz, the U.S. government sponsored the Brazilian censorship
- 8:49Speaker 1: apparatus through the State Department, through U.S.
- 8:51Speaker 7: Aid.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Through the National Endowment for Democracy, and about 100 different NGOs,
- 8:55Speaker 1: university centers, legal scholars, and activists within Brazil beginning in 2018. Guys,
- 9:00Speaker 1: America doesn't export freedom. I cannot emphasize this enough. It
- 9:05Speaker 1: does not export freedom. It exports Orwellian despotism. I want
- 9:11Speaker 1: you guys to think about that, especially if you're somebody
- 9:12Speaker 1: who lived through the Cold War era. The idea that
- 9:15Speaker 1: we're exporting freedom is not true. We're exporting the exact opposite.
- 9:21Speaker 1: And the reason the U.S. government is involved in global
- 9:23Speaker 1: censorship efforts is because it fears populism abroad and at home.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Look at this headline from Financial Times. EU and NATO
- 9:33Speaker 1: keep nervous eye on Marine Le Pen's bid for French presidency.
- 9:38Speaker 1: bet they're nervous. This is a quote, far-right candidate, which
- 9:41Speaker 1: is not, she's not a far-right candidate. They're referring to
- 9:43Speaker 1: Le Pen, wants to reign in Brussels power and take
- 9:46Speaker 1: Paris out of military alliances command structures. Guys, the global
- 9:51Speaker 1: censorship industrial complex, which includes the EU, has been fully
- 9:55Speaker 1: weaponized against Le Pen. And surprise, surprise, she's been labeled
- 9:59Speaker 1: a Russian stooge. Who does that remind you guys of?
- 10:03Speaker 1: Perhaps this is why Le Pen is demonized as a
- 10:06Speaker 1: racist and a Russian asset. I want you to listen
- 10:09Speaker 1: to her call out leftist French President Macron during a
- 10:13Speaker 1: speech before the French Parliament.
- 10:15Speaker 8: Thank you, Madam President. My question is for Madam Prime Minister.
- 10:20Speaker 8: At a time when our country has just been delivered
- 10:21Speaker 8: to the sack, to the looting and to a senseless
- 10:24Speaker 8: fire rage, I would like to ask you the question
- 10:26Speaker 8: that all the French people are asking themselves. What have
- 10:29Speaker 8: you done with France? You who have been leading the
- 10:32Speaker 8: same policy as your predecessors for 40 years. What have
- 10:35Speaker 8: you done with our country by setting up areas where
- 10:38Speaker 8: you have let yourself be communized, criminalized? What did you
- 10:43Speaker 8: do when you let the ignorance of our culture prosper,
- 10:45Speaker 8: the hostility towards the legal authority of the state, the
- 10:49Speaker 8: illegitimacy of our laws and the hatred of our people?
- 10:52Speaker 8: What did you do to transform our country among the
- 10:55Speaker 8: most courteous, the most elegant and the most gentle of
- 10:58Speaker 8: the earth to make it a hell, where it consumes
- 11:02Speaker 8: itself with the public buildings that burn in the future?
- 11:06Speaker 8: I apologize for those of you listening. Of course, that's
- 11:10Speaker 8: in French. You can't read the subtitles. But if you
- 11:14Speaker 8: could not read them, she's discussing how French identity is dying.
- 11:28Speaker 1: They're flooding France with people who don't share French values.
- 11:32Speaker 1: And the country is descending into lawlessness, chaos, confusion, and violence.
- 11:38Speaker 1: The nationalism Le Pen is espousing scares the hell out
- 11:41Speaker 1: of the global elites who purposely are flooding Western nations
- 11:44Speaker 1: with migrants to erode their identity and culture. Makes sense.
- 11:48Speaker 1: If a country no longer has a national identity, globalism
- 11:52Speaker 1: is much easier to sell. Also, If the populace is
- 11:56Speaker 1: just unified, confused, and chaotic, they'll give up essential liberties
- 12:01Speaker 1: and their way of life. What was COVID? The exploitation
- 12:06Speaker 1: of people's fears during a so-called emergency in order to
- 12:09Speaker 1: curtail basic freedoms. And they're doing the same thing here.
- 12:15Speaker 1: The Mexican government announced it will start providing bus rides
- 12:18Speaker 1: with police and military escorts to illegal migrants heading to
- 12:23Speaker 1: the U.S.
- 12:23Speaker 7: Border.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Why? Per Ted Cruz, the leftist president of Mexico and
- 12:29Speaker 1: Kamala Harris are in cahoots to flood the U.S. with
- 12:32Speaker 1: as many illegal aliens as possible because both want to
- 12:36Speaker 1: shift America's politics dramatically to the left. I think that's true,
- 12:39Speaker 1: but I don't think elections are the sole reason for this.
- 12:43Speaker 1: It's also about sowing chaos and fear. Like with this story,
- 12:47Speaker 1: a teen girl. at an Indiana baseball game was randomly
- 12:51Speaker 1: stabbed over the weekend by a man local authorities say
- 12:54Speaker 1: is a previously deported illegal migrant. Or how about on Monday,
- 13:00Speaker 1: when a Venezuelan gang took over an apartment complex in Chicago,
- 13:03Speaker 1: just like they did in Colorado. According to the New
- 13:06Speaker 1: York Post, as many as 75% of people arrested in
- 13:10Speaker 1: Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery,
- 13:14Speaker 1: and domestic violence are migrants. And in parts of Queens,
- 13:18Speaker 1: the figure is more like 60%. And the leaders who
- 13:22Speaker 1: are defending national interests, I'm talking Le Pen, Trump, Viktor
- 13:27Speaker 1: Orban in Hungary, Bolsonaro in Brazil, they're hated by the
- 13:31Speaker 1: global security state. I'm going to share with you all
- 13:35Speaker 1: an interview this week with investor Eric Weinstein, who is
- 13:38Speaker 1: a liberal, but he's also a free thinker. And this
- 13:40Speaker 1: is a little bit of a long clip, so I
- 13:42Speaker 1: want you guys to bear with me. But he says
- 13:44Speaker 1: something very chilling and honest that I think you all
- 13:48Speaker 1: need to hear.
- 13:53Speaker 5: I don't know whether Donald Trump will be allowed to
- 13:56Speaker 5: become president. There is something that I think Mike Benz
- 14:03Speaker 5: is just, referred to as the rules-based international order. It's
- 14:06Speaker 5: an interlocking series of agreements, tacit understandings, explicit understandings, clandestine
- 14:13Speaker 5: understandings about how the most important structures keep the world
- 14:18Speaker 5: free of war and keep markets open. And there has
- 14:25Speaker 5: been a system in place, whether understood explicitly or behind
- 14:32Speaker 5: the scenes, or implicitly, it says that the purpose of
- 14:36Speaker 5: the two American parties is to prune the field of
- 14:41Speaker 5: populist candidates so that whatever two candidates exist in a
- 14:45Speaker 5: face-off are both acceptable to that world order. So what
- 14:52Speaker 5: you're trying to do from the point of view, let's
- 14:55Speaker 5: take it from the point of view of, let's say,
- 14:56Speaker 5: the State Department, the intelligence community, the Defense Department, and
- 15:01Speaker 5: major corporations that have to do with international issues from
- 15:05Speaker 5: arms trade to, oh, I don't know, food. They have
- 15:10Speaker 5: a series of agreements that are fragile and could be
- 15:15Speaker 5: overturned if a president entered the Oval Office who didn't
- 15:19Speaker 5: agree with them and the mood of the country was,
- 15:21Speaker 5: why do we pay taxes into these structures? Why are
- 15:24Speaker 5: we hamstrung? Why aren't we a free people? So what
- 15:28Speaker 5: the two parties would do is that they would run primaries.
- 15:31Speaker 5: You'd have populist candidates, and you'd pre-commit the populist candidates
- 15:34Speaker 5: to support the candidates who won the primaries. As long
- 15:39Speaker 5: as that took place and you had two candidates that
- 15:43Speaker 5: were both acceptable to the international order, that is, that
- 15:45Speaker 5: they aren't going to rethink NAFTA or NATO or what
- 15:48Speaker 5: have you, we called that democracy. And so democracy was
- 15:53Speaker 5: the illusion of choice, what's called magician's choice, where the
- 15:56Speaker 5: choice is not actually, you know, pick a card, any card,
- 15:59Speaker 5: but somehow the magician makes sure that the card that
- 16:01Speaker 5: you pick is the one that he knows. In that situation,
- 16:05Speaker 5: you have magician's choice in the primaries, and then you'd
- 16:07Speaker 5: have the duopoly field, two candidates, either of which was acceptable,
- 16:11Speaker 5: and you could actually afford to hold an election. And
- 16:15Speaker 5: the populace would vote, and that way the international order
- 16:18Speaker 5: wasn't put at risk every four years because you can't
- 16:20Speaker 5: have alliances. that are subject to the whim of the
- 16:26Speaker 5: people in plebiscites. So under that structure, everything was going
- 16:32Speaker 5: fine until 2016. And then the first candidate ever to
- 16:35Speaker 5: not hold any position in the military nor position in
- 16:40Speaker 5: government in the history of the Republic to enter the
- 16:42Speaker 5: Oval Office, Donald Trump, broke through the primary structure. So
- 16:45Speaker 5: then there was a full court press. Okay, we only
- 16:47Speaker 5: have one candidate that's acceptable to the international order. Donald
- 16:51Speaker 5: Trump will be under constant pressure that he's a loser,
- 16:56Speaker 5: he's a wild man, he's an idiot, and he's under
- 17:00Speaker 5: control of the Russians. And then he was going to
- 17:02Speaker 5: be a 20 to 1 underdog. And then he wins.
- 17:08Speaker 5: And there was no precedent for this. They learned their lesson.
- 17:13Speaker 5: You cannot afford to have candidates who are not acceptable
- 17:17Speaker 5: to the international order and continue to have these alliances.
- 17:20Speaker 5: This is an unsolved problem.
- 17:27Speaker 8: I mean, I.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Think he really hits the nail on the head there.
- 17:31Speaker 1: This whole idea of democracy, it's an illusion. This is
- 17:36Speaker 1: why they hate Trump. And Trump's not perfect. No man
- 17:40Speaker 1: is ever perfect. I'm not saying that Trump's the savior
- 17:42Speaker 1: of the world. but it's obvious that because Trump isn't
- 17:46Speaker 1: controlled by the international order, he isn't supposed to, and
- 17:50Speaker 1: perhaps he won't be allowed to win. Now guys, I
- 17:54Speaker 1: also want to mention the ESG movement, which is a
- 17:58Speaker 1: huge part of that force behind the international order that
- 18:02Speaker 1: Weinstein describes. ESG, or environmental social governance, is used by
- 18:07Speaker 1: corporations and financial institutions to integrate environmental and social considerations
- 18:12Speaker 1: into business decisions, and investment. So in other words, ESG
- 18:17Speaker 1: creates woke barriers for doing business, prioritizes left-wing goals over
- 18:21Speaker 1: profitability to stifle competition all under the guise of social responsibility, right?
- 18:28Speaker 1: So they're destroying all of their competition, but they're doing
- 18:32Speaker 1: it for a good cause. And they're painting themselves as
- 18:36Speaker 1: saviors of the earth, both socially and environmentally. And it
- 18:40Speaker 1: makes sense why large firms love ESG. They're the only
- 18:43Speaker 1: ones with the resources to navigate ESG regulations. So it's
- 18:46Speaker 1: a way for the already rich and powerful to amass
- 18:49Speaker 1: more wealth while destroying competition and disempowering the masses. This
- 18:53Speaker 1: is per Alan Mendenhall in American Mind. Global financial assets
- 18:59Speaker 1: are projected to grow from $ 263. 9 trillion in 2021 to
- 19:01Speaker 1: roughly $ 329 trillion by 2027. The big three asset managers, BlackRock,
- 19:11Speaker 1: State Street, and Vanguard, manage an astonishing $ 20 trillion in assets.
- 19:19Speaker 1: And when you include the broader slate of leading asset managers,
- 19:22Speaker 1: the global assets under management far exceeds $ 100 trillion. This
- 19:27Speaker 1: is also why we have the issue of debanking, like
- 19:31Speaker 1: with the Canadian truckers. Political dissidents are now punished for
- 19:35Speaker 1: under the new woke crony capitalist system. So if you
- 19:38Speaker 1: want to participate in the system, you need to abide
- 19:41Speaker 1: by their political edicts. As Allen writes, the new order
- 19:45Speaker 1: stifles dissent not through brute force, but the more insidious
- 19:49Speaker 1: means of social conformity and economic coercion. It has created
- 19:54Speaker 1: an environment where words must be chosen carefully, where academic
- 19:58Speaker 1: researchers self-censor to avoid the invisible yet palpable risk of
- 20:02Speaker 1: speaking out. And all this is why Weinstein went on
- 20:06Speaker 1: to say something else that's very profound. He said, when
- 20:08Speaker 1: the state clamps down, with censorship measures, they aren't trying
- 20:12Speaker 1: to convince you. They're trying to instruct you. They're telling
- 20:18Speaker 1: you what is acceptable to say and think. Whether the
- 20:21Speaker 1: state's preferred narratives is believable or not really has no bearing.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Think about the COVID shot. It doesn't prevent you from
- 20:29Speaker 1: contracting or spreading the virus, but even if you yourself
- 20:32Speaker 1: are COVID vaccinated and you still get the illness, you
- 20:35Speaker 1: aren't allowed to say that the vaccine doesn't work. It's
- 20:38Speaker 1: dystopian novel level mind control. Meanwhile, Putin has announced he's
- 20:45Speaker 1: providing Russian visas for Westerners looking to flee destructive neoliberal ideology.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Russia's shared values visa program allows foreigners seeking humanitarian support,
- 20:58Speaker 1: temporary residence in Russia. And the measure does not require
- 21:02Speaker 1: applicants to have knowledge of Russian history or the ability
- 21:05Speaker 1: to speak the Russian language. The program states that it's
- 21:08Speaker 1: looking for family life, spirituality, and morality as values that
- 21:15Speaker 1: the visa seekers have. And this is really part of
- 21:19Speaker 1: a larger anti-woke push by Putin to differentiate himself from
- 21:24Speaker 1: the West and other modern values. And Putin often describes
- 21:29Speaker 1: the West as actually satanic. Here is Russian propaganda. Here's
- 21:34Speaker 1: a Russia propaganda ad where Putin saves Christmas and a
- 21:38Speaker 1: little boy from the Western LGBT agenda.
- 21:41Speaker 7: So Sorry.
- 22:17Speaker 1: So for those of you listening, you'll see a little
- 22:19Speaker 1: boy and he's sort of dressed effeminately, right? He's got
- 22:23Speaker 1: his nails painted. He's wearing a necklace and he's got
- 22:28Speaker 1: two dads, right? And he's sort of just sitting in
- 22:32Speaker 1: his living room.
- 22:33Speaker 3: It's Christmas time.
- 22:34Speaker 1: There's a Christmas tree. The lights go out. Candles go out.
- 22:40Speaker 1: And he's sitting there praying and Perhaps he's praying for
- 22:45Speaker 1: a different family, seems to be the insinuation here. He
- 22:48Speaker 1: doesn't want to live this modern lifestyle. And then Putin,
- 23:04Speaker 1: dressed as Santa, which I'm sure it's not actually Putin,
- 23:06Speaker 1: but a Putin lookalike, dressed as Santa, comes in, brings
- 23:10Speaker 1: in all the toys, a drum set, puts a crucifix
- 23:14Speaker 1: on the wall, changes the family photo from two men
- 23:18Speaker 1: to a father and a mother.
- 23:21Speaker 7: ¶ ¶.
- 23:43Speaker 1: So now the little boy, of course, that's good, Mikey.
- 23:47Speaker 1: The little boy has a soccer ball instead of whatever
- 23:51Speaker 1: girly things he was once playing with. And again, you guys,
- 23:56Speaker 1: this is part of Putin's way of differentiating himself from
- 23:59Speaker 1: the West. He wants Russia to be a Christian nation.
- 24:02Speaker 1: He's very anti-LGBT agenda. Trance surgeries are illegal in Russia.
- 24:09Speaker 1: And so this is him differentiating himself from the West.
- 24:13Speaker 1: And I think for those of you listening beyond just
- 24:16Speaker 1: the LGBT agenda, but his labeling of Russia as a
- 24:20Speaker 1: place for freedom, as an alternative to the West is
- 24:23Speaker 1: really interesting, especially if you're somebody who can remember the
- 24:26Speaker 1: Cold War period. If you guys can even fathom, right,
- 24:31Speaker 1: Russia advertising freedom and family values to the West, it
- 24:35Speaker 1: seems so backward from what we have been told as
- 24:38Speaker 1: Americans for decades about the dichotomy between the West, and then,
- 24:43Speaker 1: of course, Russia in the East. It's really inconceivable to
- 24:46Speaker 1: think about how things have really changed from only a
- 24:49Speaker 1: few years ago. Now, am I suggesting that Americans should
- 24:52Speaker 1: move to Russia?
- 24:53Speaker 7: No, I am not.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Am I suggesting that Russia is a free country with
- 24:57Speaker 1: fair elections?
- 24:58Speaker 3: No, I am not.
- 25:00Speaker 1: But is the West, is the rest of the West
- 25:02Speaker 1: any better? That's the real question here. It's not about
- 25:06Speaker 1: freedom versus tyranny, freedom in Russia, tyranny in America. No,
- 25:09Speaker 1: that's not what I'm saying. It's tyranny on both sides
- 25:12Speaker 1: at this point. The difference is in the West, we're
- 25:15Speaker 1: still being fed this lie that our government abides by
- 25:17Speaker 1: the Constitution, when clearly it doesn't. And you have Putin
- 25:22Speaker 1: able to exploit that and say, look at us in Russia,
- 25:24Speaker 1: we're as free or more free than America. And he
- 25:29Speaker 1: has a point. All right, last story, you guys. You
- 25:33Speaker 1: all know how NASA has two astronauts currently stuck in space.
- 25:37Speaker 1: This is the state of our government right now. We
- 25:39Speaker 1: have two astronauts stranded in space. An eight-day mission is
- 25:44Speaker 1: projected to now be a nine-month stay in space after
- 25:47Speaker 1: Boeing's Starliner spacecraft repeatedly has malfunctioned. And the astronauts are
- 25:52Speaker 1: going to be rescued by Elon Musk's SpaceX. But they
- 25:55Speaker 1: are waiting for this Elon Musk spacecraft to come and
- 25:58Speaker 1: get them. Meanwhile, the Starliner will return to Earth with
- 26:02Speaker 1: no one aboard. because it was deemed too dangerous for
- 26:04Speaker 1: the astronauts. But the astronauts are still on the Starliner
- 26:07Speaker 1: spacecraft waiting for the new one to transport them. We
- 26:12Speaker 1: need to be transferred to a new spacecraft. And this
- 26:14Speaker 1: is a story I want to share with you guys.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Really kind of eerie. A NASA astronaut at the International
- 26:21Speaker 1: Space Station reported hearing a strange noise emanating from the
- 26:26Speaker 1: Boeing Starliner aircraft. that is, of course, scheduled to return
- 26:29Speaker 1: home via autopilot. Astronaut Butch Wilmore, who is one of
- 26:32Speaker 1: the guys stuck in space, immediately contacted Mission Control at
- 26:35Speaker 1: Johnson Space Center in Houston to report the noise, which
- 26:39Speaker 1: he says seems to be coming from the Starliner's speaker.
- 26:42Speaker 1: And we're going to play the.
- 26:43Speaker 7: Sound for you all.
- 27:00Speaker 1: Really kind of eerie, right?
- 27:03Speaker 3: Drop a comment.
- 27:03Speaker 1: Tell me if you think that was a very strange,
- 27:07Speaker 1: creepy noise. Now, the noise has been described as sounding
- 27:11Speaker 1: like a submarine sonar. Now, could this noise be caused
- 27:16Speaker 1: by small deformations in the spacecraft due to the difference
- 27:21Speaker 1: in pressure between its inner and outer walls? As many
- 27:25Speaker 1: are claiming experts in this, apparently, that's what they're saying
- 27:29Speaker 1: the noise is from. Yes, That is, of course, very possible.
- 27:32Speaker 1: And that would be very scary for the astronauts who, again,
- 27:34Speaker 1: are stranded in space hoping to be rescued on the
- 27:37Speaker 1: spacecraft that seems to be completely falling apart. Now, the
- 27:40Speaker 1: other theory is that this could be aliens. That's always
- 27:45Speaker 1: what happens with these stories, that aliens are behind it.
- 27:47Speaker 1: A suggestion is that from the UFO crowd that this
- 27:50Speaker 1: is somehow an extraterrestrial being, a sound from an extraterrestrial
- 27:56Speaker 1: being emitted from by this spacecraft or tampered with this spacecraft.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Which brings me to Diana Walsh Pasulka, who is a
- 28:04Speaker 1: professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington.
- 28:08Speaker 1: And Diana is a fascinating woman because she focuses her,
- 28:12Speaker 1: her focus really, her scholarship is in religious studies, but
- 28:17Speaker 1: she focuses her scholarship specifically on the intersection of science
- 28:21Speaker 1: and and spirituality. And according to Pasolka, many astronauts have
- 28:25Speaker 1: reported experiencing strange noises and spiritual encounters while in space.
- 28:33Speaker 1: And these experiences include unexplained sounds, feelings of a presence
- 28:38Speaker 1: or profound spiritual and mystical experiences that are really difficult
- 28:43Speaker 1: for the astronauts to articulate. And Pasolka draws attention to
- 28:48Speaker 1: these reports as part of her broader exploration of how
- 28:51Speaker 1: space technology, and the unknown intersect with religious experiences. So
- 28:57Speaker 1: I want to play for you all a clip from
- 28:59Speaker 1: Pasolka on the Joe Rogan podcast talking about the Shroud
- 29:02Speaker 1: of Turin. And we've talked about this on the show before,
- 29:03Speaker 1: but if you don't know, the Shroud of Turin is
- 29:05Speaker 1: a linen cloth believed to be Jesus's burial shroud. And
- 29:10Speaker 1: the cloth bears a miraculous image of a crucified man,
- 29:14Speaker 1: presumably Jesus. The image of Christ is not painted, drawn,
- 29:18Speaker 1: or applied by any known artistic method. Instead, it's described
- 29:23Speaker 1: as a superficial discoloration of the linen fibers. And how
- 29:28Speaker 1: the image was created is still unexplained by modern science.
- 29:31Speaker 1: The image itself behaves like a photographic negative, which is
- 29:35Speaker 1: created with a spurt of light. So when the image
- 29:37Speaker 1: is photographed and a negative image of the shroud is made,
- 29:41Speaker 1: you can see the body and face in much greater detail. Also,
- 29:46Speaker 1: the image on the shroud is incredibly shallow and it
- 29:48Speaker 1: affects only the very top fibers of the linen. So
- 29:52Speaker 1: the depth of the discoloration is less than the thickness
- 29:55Speaker 1: of a human hair, which again, very puzzling to researchers.
- 30:00Speaker 1: So here is Pasolka discussing the Shroud.
- 30:04Speaker 9: What do you think the physical objects are?
- 30:07Speaker 3: Well, okay, so this is something that's very interesting. We
- 30:10Speaker 3: just looked at the Shroud of Turin. I believe that
- 30:12Speaker 3: there are these, I would call them, and this is
- 30:16Speaker 3: just my own non-scientific term, interdimensional objects. They're objects that
- 30:24Speaker 3: have characteristics of our dimension and of some other dimension.
- 30:31Speaker 9: So some other dimension has the capability or something from
- 30:37Speaker 9: some other dimension has the capability of transporting a physical
- 30:42Speaker 9: object into our realm.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Or even imprinting onto a physical object.
- 30:48Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 30:49Speaker 6: How so?
- 30:50Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. I mean, I think that's what.
- 30:52Speaker 9: What does that mean, imprinting onto a physical object?
- 30:54Speaker 3: So with the Shroud of Turin, we see the imprint
- 30:56Speaker 3: of the image and.
- 30:57Speaker 10: If it's real.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's real. But it's an anomalous object. So
- 31:02Speaker 3: we do have, from Gary Nolan, engineered objects that we
- 31:06Speaker 3: don't know how they're engineered, but they definitely look like they're,
- 31:10Speaker 3: you know, it's off planet. I would call the kinds
- 31:15Speaker 3: of things that we see in the historical record interdimensional
- 31:18Speaker 3: types of things. Now, how? I don't know, Joe. Okay,
- 31:22Speaker 3: so I just don't know. But I do think that
- 31:25Speaker 3: scientists in the government know that these things exist and
- 31:28Speaker 3: they would like to figure it out. And so part
- 31:31Speaker 3: of disclosure, the disclosure movement is outsourcing this and trying
- 31:35Speaker 3: to get as many people as possible to, to help
- 31:38Speaker 3: in figuring it out.
- 31:42Speaker 1: So Pasolka is a very fascinating woman. I would recommend
- 31:45Speaker 1: her book encounters experiences with non-human intelligence and You want
- 31:50Speaker 1: to learn more about her research. I am personally in
- 31:53Speaker 1: the camp of all these encounters that we're having are spiritual.
- 31:57Speaker 1: I think that we're dealing with angels and demons here.
- 31:59Speaker 1: And these encounters have been happening, of course, forever, right?
- 32:02Speaker 1: The stigmatas, apparitions, the miracles, the spiritual world never went away.
- 32:08Speaker 1: It's almost like the modern world throughout religion for science,
- 32:12Speaker 1: but we're still dealing with the spiritual realm. You can't
- 32:15Speaker 1: escape it. C.S. Lewis's book, another recommendation of mine, That
- 32:19Speaker 1: Hideous Strength, which is the final part of his space trilogy,
- 32:23Speaker 1: it explores this concept really profoundly. And so as I
- 32:28Speaker 1: was preparing for this show yesterday, I was thinking about
- 32:30Speaker 1: how people often remind themselves when they do something embarrassing
- 32:35Speaker 1: that they're just, oh, I'm just a speck in a
- 32:37Speaker 1: vast universe, right? None of this really matters. When they
- 32:40Speaker 1: think about space, they think, oh, it doesn't matter. But
- 32:42Speaker 1: when you think of, when we think of ourselves and
- 32:46Speaker 1: when we think of the world beyond Earth, as in
- 32:51Speaker 1: the context of religion that God and spiritual forces have
- 32:55Speaker 1: and are impacting us, everything starts to actually matter. That
- 32:59Speaker 1: idea that everything is meaningless because the world is so
- 33:02Speaker 1: great is turned on its head when you view it
- 33:05Speaker 1: in these spiritual terms. And believing that our lives have
- 33:09Speaker 1: meaning and value does make life worth living. It's really
- 33:13Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. And to tie it to the global
- 33:15Speaker 1: authoritarians who wish to control everything that we say and
- 33:18Speaker 1: do Knowing that there are powers outside of despotic humans
- 33:23Speaker 1: is actually comforting. And knowing that we aren't just cudgels
- 33:26Speaker 1: to be bullied, but individuals with intrinsic value is also,
- 33:32Speaker 1: I think, very comforting. All right, that's all that I
- 33:35Speaker 1: have for you guys today. As always, shout out to

- 33:59Speaker 10: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
- 34:01Speaker 10: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
- 34:05Speaker 10: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
- 34:08Speaker 10: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
- 34:10Speaker 10: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
- 34:14Speaker 4: That is it.
- 34:15Speaker 10: This is not a football game.
- 34:17Speaker 5: If you vote, we will win.
