- 3:36Okay.
- 3:37Well, now that I got that out of the way, take another sip.
- 3:41Oh man, much needed. Okay. So let's get to it because I got a few things I want to talk about.
- 3:49Firstly, let's talk about what happened to the former CEO, Brian Thompson of the United Healthcare
- 3:58group. He was assassinated. And this has been a developing story that I was going to cover.
- 4:05In fact, I was going to record this episode earlier, but I decided to wait a bit because
- 4:09I wanted to see how this developed because at the time we didn't have any real information.
- 4:13So I'm going to get right to that. I'm also going to go over and touch on the 500 plus page report
- 4:20that was just released by the committee on oversight in regard to COVID. It was a two-year
- 4:28long investigation. The final report has been released. And all I'm going to say is that all
- 4:34you tinfoil hat wearing listeners out there that were accused of conspiracy theories and
- 4:41just being anti-government and anti-American, well, everything that you thought was true.
- 4:49So you've been vindicated. And of course, because I've been really having to geopolitics lately and
- 4:56because what happens abroad does ultimately in turn affect us in the USA,
- 5:03can't ignore what just happened in Syria.
- 5:06Now, this was an extremely fast developing event that is very complex
- 5:12and is still developing as of this recording.
- 5:14And I would do my best to explain the situation and what happened.
- 5:19Although I will admit freely, I'm not an OSINT person.
- 5:26and I definitely am not an expert in that particular area,
- 5:32but I did do a lot of digging, a lot of research,
- 5:35and asked a few of my OSINT friends on what was going on there.
- 5:40So I'm going to do my best to explain that to you as well.
- 5:45Now, let's get back to our first topic, CEO Brian Thompson.
- 5:51The CEO of UnitedHealthcare was assassinated very recently,
- 5:56And by now, I'm sure everyone has seen the video.
- 5:58It appears that a professional assassin was hired to take out Brian Thompson.
- 6:06Now, there's a lot of theories and speculation as to why anybody would want to kill Brian
- 6:14Thompson.
- 6:14Now, Brian Thompson's worked for UnitedHealthcare for many years.
- 6:18I believe over 20, maybe 30 years.
- 6:21I might have the exact number wrong there.
- 6:23But regardless, he worked his way up pretty much from the bottom and eventually became CEO.
- 6:29Now, there are investigators that think that this assassination was due to grievances,
- 6:37due to a person who was wronged by the healthcare giant.
- 6:43But there's other evidence out there that may suggest otherwise.
- 6:49Again, it appears to have been a professional hit.
- 6:52Although at the time of that information coming out, people were assuming so much about the
- 6:58assassin and other professionals would weigh in and say, well, it looks like a professional.
- 7:03And then others would say, it looks like someone who really just took this serious and probably
- 7:09practiced the action of killing Brian Thompson.
- 7:13because in the video, you can clearly see the killer knew exactly where Brian Thompson was
- 7:18going to be. Killer was lying in wait. And you can also see that the killer in question knew how
- 7:24to handle his weapon. Now, the other reason it is assumed that this was a professional hit job
- 7:29really may not have been done due to personal grievances. You see, there was a DOJ probe
- 7:35launched and Brian Thompson has been accused of insider trading because Brian Thompson dumped more
- 7:42than $15 million in stock before a federal antitrust investigation into the insurance
- 7:50giant was publicly revealed.
- 7:52So before they were able to reveal this, he already dumped $15 million in stock.
- 7:57So he was accused of insider training, literally just dumping stock to get his money before
- 8:05this probe was made public.
- 8:07Thompson was one of three UnitedHealth Group executives named in the class action lawsuit.
- 8:13It was filed back in May and accused them of dumping millions of dollars worth of stock.
- 8:18The company was at the time subject to a federal anti-trust investigation.
- 8:23In fact, I'm getting this info from the Huffington Post themselves.
- 8:27So the investors say it wasn't immediately disclosed to the shareholders.
- 8:33So the shareholders didn't even know there was an investigation going on.
- 8:35So obviously, if that investigation were to be made public, the stock would plummet, definitely reduce in value.
- 8:43But before any of that information was made known to any of the investors or the public in general,
- 8:49Thompson and the three other executives, which I don't have the names of at the moment, decided they're just going to dump their stock.
- 8:56They're going to dump it before this info came out, cash out on it, and walk away.
- 9:00UnitedHealth insiders sold, as it's been reported here,
- 9:06more than $120 million of their personally held UnitedHealth shares.
- 9:11$120 million worth.
- 9:13They were able to cash out for $120 million before this report was made known.
- 9:19Now, there seems to be like maybe this was a hit from the inside of their own company.
- 9:27somebody had some inside information outside of the stocks being dumped.
- 9:34Okay.
- 9:35There was something about Brian Thompson that maybe in the investigation,
- 9:40he was going to blow the whistle on some people.
- 9:43That is quite possible.
- 9:44I'm speculating here.
- 9:45So don't take what I'm saying as truth,
- 9:48but it makes one wonder if that wasn't the case.
- 9:52And that is why he was assassinated.
- 9:55Now, there was also a fair amount of messaging left behind by the assassin himself.
- 10:01There were three shell casings left, and the shell casings themselves had the words,
- 10:07one on each bullet or shell casing, deny, defend, and depose.
- 10:12Now, those three words do seem to reference a book that was written in 2010,
- 10:17which was titled Delay, Deny, Defend,
- 10:20which was a book that was written to expose the insurance industry.
- 10:25and explain how consumers and lawmakers can fight back.
- 10:28The assassin also ditched his backpack,
- 10:31and the backpack was found later,
- 10:33but the only thing in the backpack,
- 10:35according to multiple news reports,
- 10:37was a pile of Monopoly money.
- 10:41Not real money, but Monopoly money.
- 10:44There is a lot of messaging going on around this assassination.
- 10:49Now, while they were still searching for the assassin
- 10:51and they couldn't identify him,
- 10:53they had enough pictures, they believed, through cameras and whatnot,
- 10:57plastered all over New York City, trying to find this person.
- 11:03And apparently, as of today, as of this recording,
- 11:07it seems that they may have actually found him.
- 11:10The person in question is believed to be Luigi Mangioni,
- 11:15an Italian who was an Ivy League grad with degrees in computer science,
- 11:21was said to be an avid reader and active contributor on GitHub.
- 11:26Apparently the person, and I can't confirm this,
- 11:29but it's been said, had an IQ of about 130.
- 11:35Now, question being, a person so smart,
- 11:41why would they have been easily caught at a McDonald's
- 11:45while still having the gun or the murder weapon on them?
- 11:51They also found on Luigi multiple fake IDs.
- 11:56And while this very well may be the killer,
- 12:01it seems a bit like a setup or he's a fall guy.
- 12:05But at the same time, who knows?
- 12:08It could be.
- 12:09Maybe this person just slipped up.
- 12:11Maybe it wasn't corporate involvement behind the killing of Brian Thompson.
- 12:19Maybe it really was Luigi himself who had been wronged in some way,
- 12:23maybe one of his family members, and decided to take matters into his own hands.
- 12:27It's unclear at this point.
- 12:29We really don't know.
- 12:31But what's crazy about this whole situation are the amount of Americans
- 12:35and people around the world who went on social media to praise this assassination.
- 12:41You see, UnitedHealthcare was very well known for denying claims and critical
- 12:50health care needed. They were pretty much just about at the bottom of their
- 12:55rankings while also being one of the largest health healthcare insurance providers in the world So it again plausible that this person took matters in their own hands
- 13:09But what's more revealing are the amount of people who praise this assassination, which
- 13:15really, really goes to show that people are fed up with big insurance companies.
- 13:21They're fed up with the American healthcare system in general.
- 13:23It's expensive and your life is literally hanging upon the decision of someone sitting behind a desk going over whether or not it's feasible for them to pay for the medical care that you require.
- 13:39Now, whether or not this assassination was done by a disgruntled individual, or if this literally was the work of an insider within the company who was willing to kill Brian Thompson because he was about to spill the beans, as they say, on everyone else, that's still to be determined.
- 13:58But it kind of seems like the latter to me.
- 14:02It really seems like there was someone high up that was willing to do what they had to do to silence Brian Thompson.
- 14:09But again, that's my opinion, my theory, but based on the publicly made information and the fact that there was a DOJ probe into UnitedHealthcare that also implicated Brian Thompson as well as two other individuals, it's hard to ignore that this may literally have been a call by upper management.
- 14:31Now, the suspect, Luigi Mangione, did have, according to authorities, writings and whatnot that stated contempt or disdain for big corporations.
- 14:47It also seems that this person was an anti-capitalist, a climate change activist, and could possibly have seen himself as a type of social justice warrior delivering a punishment to a high-ranking CEO.
- 15:02Now, I think that that could be the case.
- 15:07It might be the case.
- 15:08Or maybe this person was groomed.
- 15:10Maybe this person was trained to think a certain way and went through training and preparation
- 15:16to carry out the mission.
- 15:18Now, I know that sounds a little conspiratorial, but you got to hear me out on this.
- 15:24Everything surrounding this assassination is very, very suspect, involving DOJ probes,
- 15:32involving insider trading.
- 15:34I mean, we're talking about dumping nearly $120 million worth of stocks
- 15:38before the investigation was made public.
- 15:42There were two other people implicated in this alleged crime.
- 15:47And so got to kind of ask yourself if this literally wasn't a hit job.
- 15:53And Luigi Mangione was just someone who was twisted into believing
- 15:58that they were carrying out a mission that was critical to the social justice of everybody
- 16:03by taking out a high-ranking CEO in the healthcare industry.
- 16:08Now, I'm going to try to transition here, and let's move on to another healthcare-related
- 16:14tragedy that doesn't involve a direct assassination of people, but I'm talking about COVID.
- 16:22We all went through it, and many of us were called crazy.
- 16:25We were shunned.
- 16:26Remember when you were threatened that you would lose your job if you didn't get the jab or if you didn't wear a face mask?
- 16:35Remember the social distancing requirements?
- 16:39Remember when they shut down events and you couldn't gather, even if it was outdoors?
- 16:44Because you were a threat to the health and welfare of America if you didn't comply.
- 16:51Hell, you were arrested for even attempting to enjoy yourself out in the great wide open on a beach.
- 17:00We were called conspiracy theorists.
- 17:02And for many people, which I very well know includes pretty much everybody listening to this podcast,
- 17:08I will say that the government has finally put out a report, a two-year-long investigative report.
- 17:17This was put out by the Oversight Committee, and after two years, they released a 500-plus
- 17:24page report that literally, well, confirms that you were not a conspiracy theorist.
- 17:31Basically, everything you thought was true was true.
- 17:34It was true, but hey, too late to go back now, right?
- 17:37If you already had to make adjustments, if you lost your job and ended up with a lesser
- 17:40one for lesser pay, or maybe you're still struggling to even get your footing again,
- 17:45Maybe you were demonetized.
- 17:47There are many people who were podcasters who had channels on YouTube, for example, that
- 17:53were completely demonetized and just never gained their following back.
- 17:57And what if you lost your family business, a family business that may have been in operation
- 18:06for 100 years, 50 years, 30 years, regardless.
- 18:11You put your heart and soul into it.
- 18:12It was passed on from generation to generation, and the government orders you to shut down.
- 18:19Nope, you cannot operate.
- 18:21They tell you when you can open, for how long, how many people that you can serve, and you
- 18:26just couldn't keep up because the bills didn't stop, but your ability to earn an income did.
- 18:33And not everybody was bailed out by the PPP loans and the SBA loans that were given.
- 18:40In fact, most of those were swallowed up and taken advantage of by large corporations,
- 18:45by big tech corporations that really didn't even need the money, but somehow were awarded
- 18:51it anyway.
- 18:51We're talking about companies like Amazon, which had the highest record profits ever
- 18:57during the pandemic because guess what?
- 19:00It wasn't safe to shop in public either.
- 19:02So people were ordering online.
- 19:05Instacart became a huge thing.
- 19:07It was a mega business overnight.
- 19:09because the pandemic pushed people into staying in their homes,
- 19:14losing their livelihoods, their kids forced to not learn how to socialize.
- 19:20We had, I mean, what, two, three-year-old kids were forced to wear masks
- 19:24and not even see a human face.
- 19:28Everything that you thought was wrong,
- 19:31everything that seemed to be suspect and a bit fishy has been confirmed to be so.
- 19:38It's been confirmed to be so.
- 19:39You were right.
- 19:41This 500-page report, I'm not going to go through the whole thing, obviously, because
- 19:45we just don't have time.
- 19:47But I'm going to go over some of the highlights.
- 19:49And a lot of this, I'm actually going to read directly from the oversight.house.gov website.
- 19:54Now, firstly, I will say this.
- 19:59Fauci has pretty much been confirmed to be a liar.
- 20:02It has been confirmed that the science doesn't show that masks worked or ever worked, that
- 20:07the six feet social distancing mandate and law that was forced, well, not really a law,
- 20:15but definitely felt like it, right?
- 20:16I mean, there were people arrested for not properly distancing and masking.
- 20:23So everything that happened, your loss of jobs, friends, family, some literally lost
- 20:32their lives, mostly due to the vaccine that was allegedly supposed to heal and stop the spread.
- 20:38That has also been confirmed to be a big fat lie. Let me go through some of the highlights here.
- 20:45Let's start with COVID-19 origin. According to this report, COVID-19 most likely emerged from
- 20:51a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The five strongest arguments in favor of the lab leak theory include
- 20:57these. Number one, the virus possesses a biological characteristic that is absolutely not found in
- 21:04nature. Again, it possesses characteristics that are not found in nature. Okay, two, the data shows
- 21:13that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary
- 21:19to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.
- 21:26Number three, Wuhan is home to China's foremost SARS research lab,
- 21:32which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research
- 21:36to inadequate biosafety levels.
- 21:40So basically, the lab never took safety into consideration,
- 21:45and they just did whatever they wanted to do, didn't give a damn.
- 21:49And if something got out, we'll figure it out apparently.
- 21:53Okay, fourth point.
- 21:55Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers were sick with COVID-19-like viruses in the fall of 2019,
- 22:04months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet markets.
- 22:08Now, I'm going to speak to this.
- 22:11Some of you know, some of you don't know, but I have a company in the event production business.
- 22:15And just saying that alone, event production and events, we were shut down during the whole
- 22:19COVID pandemic.
- 22:20And basically, it was a struggle to even save the business because we literally couldn't
- 22:24earn any money.
- 22:25But that's aside from the point I'm trying to make.
- 22:28The point being, in 2019, we were having one of our busiest years.
- 22:33And we were having so many parties and events, corporate parties mostly at the time, between
- 22:41September and December.
- 22:42many of these we serviced were in the Bay Area, so anywhere from San Jose to San Francisco.
- 22:48We noticed that there was a sickness going around. I knew a lot of people that were in the IATSE
- 22:52union, and that union has many people who work in the stage and theatrical industry. These people
- 23:00would get sick. There was some weird flu going around, a lot of people reporting it, and it
- 23:03wasn't like one or two people. It was literally wiping out a large amount of people who were able
- 23:10to work. Suddenly, it was like we didn't have stagehands available, carpenters, you name it.
- 23:15And I got sick myself. I was sick literally from October through December. It was a strange,
- 23:22flu-like, cold-type sickness. I couldn't figure it out. Almost everyone that I knew got this.
- 23:31Now, I believe this was the first wave of COVID-19. And no matter what I did, I just couldn't shake it.
- 23:38Now, I wasn't bedridden, but me being who I am, I didn't rest enough and I just kept
- 23:44pushing myself.
- 23:44So I was just heavily dosed on, you know, even before it was a thing, I already knew
- 23:49zinc was something you would take to help boost your immune system and basically help
- 23:54you out.
- 23:54I was taking multivitamins.
- 23:56I was doing everything I usually do when I get really sick like that.
- 23:59And this had nothing to do with any reports about how to fight COVID-19 because nobody
- 24:03knew about zinc and vitamin D and all that until later.
- 24:07But I was already aware of it, and I was already basically taking everything I could in terms of multivitamins, zinc, definitely extra C.
- 24:18I did take some vitamin D in addition to, and I still felt very sick.
- 24:23I worked through it.
- 24:23I was always tired, but it did go away eventually.
- 24:28And luckily, I never got to the point where I was bedridden or had to go to the hospital.
- 24:31But basically, our entire industry knew this was happening.
- 24:35We were impacted by it.
- 24:37many people from overseas that would fly in from Asia, really, because I'll be honest,
- 24:44we were servicing some clients such as Samsung. Now, of course, being Korean, not Chinese,
- 24:50but still from that area, from that region, they're not super close, but close enough.
- 24:55But things spread. Many people from overseas, executives from overseas for different companies
- 25:01that were supposed to come in, and I was just using Samsung as an example. I'm not implicating
- 25:06them in anything, by the way, just an example. But we did stuff for Facebook. We did stuff for
- 25:10Netflix, YouTube, you name it. Many executives were canceling. I remember at the time, there
- 25:16were Salesforce events going on, which I was never really involved in. I, for some reason,
- 25:21was never one of the vendors that was part of that. But there was stuff going on for Salesforce
- 25:26also. And I would get word from some of the IATSE guys that I knew that, hey, man, there's a sickness
- 25:32going on. There's people canceling. Keynote speakers were basically dropping off left and
- 25:37right. Fast forward, after December, all of a sudden around January, the report comes in January
- 25:43of 2020 that there is a virus, a new virus, and was labeled a pandemic or the start of a pandemic.
- 25:53Before you know it in February it was confirmed to be a pandemic By March they started shutting things down And then ever since that time all the way into 2022 late actually into early maybe mid
- 26:09the entire events industry was shut down.
- 26:13It couldn't operate.
- 26:14So we already knew there was something before it was announced.
- 26:17We already experienced it.
- 26:18I personally experienced it.
- 26:21So again, I am confirming with that long story
- 26:26that COVID-19 was here in 2019.
- 26:31It didn't hit in 2020.
- 26:32It was already here.
- 26:34Okay, let me get to the fifth point of this report.
- 26:36Okay, the fifth point that will confirm the COVID-19 origins.
- 26:41It says here, by nearly all measures of science,
- 26:44if there was evidence of a natural origin,
- 26:48it would have already surfaced.
- 26:50Okay, so now let's move down to the implementation
- 26:54or effectiveness of any federal law or regulation applied,
- 26:58enacted, or under consideration to address the coronavirus pandemic
- 27:02and prepare for future pandemics.
- 27:05Okay, let's start here.
- 27:06It says World Health Organization.
- 27:08It says that the WHO's response to the COVID-19 pandemic
- 27:12was an abject failure because it caved to pressure
- 27:16from the Chinese Communist Party
- 27:18and placed China's political interests ahead of its international duties.
- 27:23Now, that's true.
- 27:23remember when they were calling everybody a racist for calling the COVID vaccine the Wuhan
- 27:32virus because that's exactly where it came from, while Trump went a step further to call it the
- 27:37China virus, but that was its origin. And you were labeled a racist and a xenophobe for even
- 27:45bringing up or mentioning China or even saying the word in and of itself, China.
- 27:51So that is correct.
- 27:53Now, according to this report here,
- 27:57as far as social distancing is concerned,
- 27:59it says the six feet apart social distancing recommendation,
- 28:02which set down schools and small businesses across the country,
- 28:07was arbitrary and not based on science.
- 28:10During closed-door testimony,
- 28:12Dr. Fauci testified that the guidance sort of just appeared.
- 28:18Well, that's going to be the first confirmation of Fauci being an incompetent asshole who literally put everybody in jeopardy.
- 28:28All right.
- 28:29It also goes on to address mask mandates.
- 28:33So mask mandates.
- 28:34There was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from COVID-19.
- 28:41Public health officials flip-flopped on the efficacy of masks without providing Americans scientific data.
- 28:48causing a massive uptick in public distrust.
- 28:51And this is very true.
- 28:52There was no data behind the masks.
- 28:54There was no scientific reports ever released in regard to the effectiveness of the masks.
- 29:00So, of course, people distrusted the government.
- 29:04Of course, people distrusted the science because there wasn't any science behind it.
- 29:10It was never presented to the American public.
- 29:12And organizations that ran their own experiments to verify whether the masks actually were effective or worked found that they didn't.
- 29:23It's crazy for them to be shocked that the American public did not trust the government or their supposed experts.
- 29:34Because there was never any real evidence behind the enforcements of wearing a damn mask.
- 29:42All right, now let's address lockdowns.
- 29:44It says here lockdowns.
- 29:46Prolonged lockdowns cause immeasurable harm to not only the American economy,
- 29:51which I can attest to, but also to the mental and physical health of Americans.
- 29:56And that's especially true, I say, as far as it relates to kids,
- 30:01especially those who were forced into remote learning.
- 30:05Now, it goes on to say that rather than prioritizing the protection
- 30:08of the most vulnerable populations,
- 30:11federal and state government policies
- 30:13forced millions of Americans
- 30:14to forego crucial elements
- 30:16of a healthy and financially sound life.
- 30:21All right, it also addresses
- 30:22the New York pandemic failures.
- 30:25It says here,
- 30:26former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's
- 30:28March 25th order,
- 30:30which forced nursing homes
- 30:31to accept COVID-19 positive patients,
- 30:34was medical malpractice.
- 30:36Now, I'm going to have to agree with that.
- 30:37some of the most vulnerable people in our population are elderly people.
- 30:42As we get older, our bodies break down.
- 30:44Our immune system is no longer what it used to be.
- 30:48And he gave the order to use these facilities as a place to send people
- 30:55who are sick with COVID-19.
- 30:57So, yes, definitely medical malpractice.
- 31:00And he should be on trial for that.
- 31:02He should absolutely be on trial for putting citizens in danger.
- 31:06and literally contributing to the death of many elderly within these facilities.
- 31:13All right.
- 31:14It also says, evidence shows that Mr. Cuomo and his administration worked to cover up the tragic aftermath of the policy decisions
- 31:22in an apparent effort to shield themselves from accountability.
- 31:26Hmm.
- 31:27Says, evidence suggests Mr. Cuomo knowingly and willfully made false statements to the select subcommittee
- 31:33on numerous occasions about material aspects
- 31:35of the New York's COVID-19 nursing home disaster
- 31:38and the ensuing cover-up.
- 31:40The select subcommittee referred Mr. Cuomo
- 31:43to the DOJ for criminal prosecution.
- 31:45Of course, not much of anything ever happened to him.
- 31:49It goes on to address travel restrictions.
- 31:51So travel restrictions.
- 31:52President Trump's rapidly implemented travel restrictions
- 31:56saved lives.
- 31:57During Dr. Fauci's transcribed interview,
- 31:59he unequivocally agreed with every travel restriction issued by the Trump administration.
- 32:05This testimony runs counter to the public narrative that the Trump administration's
- 32:09travel restrictions were xenophobic.
- 32:11Now, they're not talking about you getting in your cars and driving around and shopping
- 32:16or going from city to city.
- 32:17They're talking about travel restrictions as it related to international travel, because
- 32:22then you're contributing to the spread of the virus on a global scale and possibly bringing
- 32:27in new viruses or mutated viruses from overseas into our country.
- 32:32So that is what they're talking about.
- 32:33They're not talking about you getting in your car or in your van or driving on your motorcycle,
- 32:38whatever means of transportation you were using.
- 32:41That's not what this refers to.
- 32:42So let's just get it straight there and let's not get it twisted that how can you say that
- 32:48when everyone was saying that lockdowns were bad and contributed to the mental health and
- 32:56a negative impact.
- 32:59Well, we're talking about traveling internationally, and that's what the bans were for.
- 33:04That's what the restrictions were for, for international travel.
- 33:07All right.
- 33:08Moving on.
- 33:09It says, COVID-19 misinformation.
- 33:12Let's read this one.
- 33:13It says, public health officials often spread misinformation through conflicting messaging,
- 33:17knee-jerk reactions, and a lack of transparency.
- 33:20And the most egregious examples of pervasive misinformation campaigns, off-label drug use, and the lab leak theory were unjustly demonized by the federal government.
- 33:31Now, the off-label drug use they're referring to is obviously the use of vitamin D, which was demonized.
- 33:38There are doctors suddenly saying, oh, well, you don't need that much vitamin D.
- 33:42It doesn't really help you.
- 33:43And then, of course, the biggest one was the ivermectin issue where they were basically literally telling you it's horse pace.
- 33:54You're taking something that's given to animals.
- 33:58You're all crazy.
- 33:59but what's even stranger is ivermectin is it's prescribed worldwide for for years to to cure
- 34:10various various viral diseases yet ivermectin was demonized and people who even advocated for
- 34:18or even attempted to use it like take take matters into their own hands were called conspiracy
- 34:25Now, fast forward, and ivermectin is now considered to possibly have contributed to treating people in a positive way that had COVID-19.
- 34:38Now, let's move on to the most controversial topic of discussion in this report and the most contested during the entire pandemic, and that's the actual vaccine.
- 34:53the development of vaccines and treatments
- 34:56and the development and implementation of vaccination policies
- 35:00for federal employees and members of the armed forces.
- 35:04Okay, I'm going to skip down here.
- 35:06It says COVID-19 vaccine.
- 35:07Contrary to what was promised,
- 35:10the COVID-19 vaccine did not stop the spread of transmission of the virus,
- 35:14which is exactly, by the way, everybody, if you remember,
- 35:17what Anthony Fauci promised.
- 35:19Okay, it goes on to rush COVID-19 vaccine approval.
- 35:26It says the FDA rushed approval of the COVID-19 vaccine in order to meet the Biden administration's arbitrary mandate timeline.
- 35:34Two leading FDA scientists warned their colleagues about the dangers of rushing the vaccine approval process and the likelihood of adverse events.
- 35:43They were ignored, and days later, the Biden administration mandated the vaccine.
- 35:47So it's very important that people understand this.
- 35:50Most vaccines go through, I believe it was a four or five year minimum period to test whether or not it's effective and also to make sure there aren't any adverse side effects.
- 36:04But this entire safety protocol that is put in place to make sure the vaccines are safe and effective was completely dismissed by the Biden administration.
- 36:15All right, let's move down to vaccine mandates.
- 36:19It says here that vaccine mandates were not supported by science.
- 36:24Okay, let me read that again.
- 36:27Vaccine mandates were not supported by science.
- 36:30Remember when they would all kick, scream, and yell at you about,
- 36:36believe the science, as Fauci would say.
- 36:38Believe the science.
- 36:40Well, it says here that vaccine mandates did not support the science.
- 36:45It goes on to say that it caused more harm than good.
- 36:48The Biden administration coerced healthy Americans into compliance with the COVID-19 vaccine mandates that trampled individual freedoms, harmed military readiness, and disregarded medical freedom to force a novel or novel, I think it's novel, vaccine on millions of Americans without sufficient evidence to support their policy decisions.
- 37:14All right.
- 37:15Then they touch on natural immunity.
- 37:16So natural immunity, public health officials engaged in a coordinated effort to ignore
- 37:21natural immunity.
- 37:23This is true.
- 37:24Every time herd immunity was brought up, it was dismissed.
- 37:28They did everything they can to make sure people were segregated, separated, that they
- 37:32stayed put in their homes, that they didn't gather outside, which was crazy.
- 37:36yeah this one
- 37:39this one's a little weird to me
- 37:41because natural immunity is a thing
- 37:43but let me keep reading this
- 37:45it says that
- 37:46natural immunity
- 37:48which is acquired through previous COVID-19
- 37:51infections when developing
- 37:53vaccine guidance and mandates
- 37:55so let me try to explain that a little bit
- 37:57basically
- 37:59if you got COVID-19
- 38:01if anyone got COVID-19
- 38:02and you got over it
- 38:04which most any healthy individual did.
- 38:07There are very few people who are really at risk of dying from COVID-19.
- 38:12But if you got over it and you moved on with your life,
- 38:17you then had a natural immunity,
- 38:20which would help you to better fight mutated versions of COVID-19.
- 38:27And let's say you got the next version.
- 38:28Okay.
- 38:29So then your body has at least a baseline for how to fight that mutation.
- 38:33it gets over that and so on and so forth.
- 38:37So natural immunity was completely ignored.
- 38:40And if you remember, they did everything they could to make sure that we didn't integrate,
- 38:47we didn't talk to each other, we didn't gather, six feet apart, masks, the whole bit.
- 38:54Now, let's move on to vaccine injury reporting system.
- 38:58Vaccine injury was a real thing There were stories that came out and then quickly swept under the rug of people who would get the jab as they say and then die there right on the spot
- 39:09right on the spot. There were people who had adverse effects to it, such as myochondritis,
- 39:14which was the enlarging of the heart that was very common in young males at the time with the
- 39:20vaccine. Johnson and Johnson themselves also were in hot water and somehow, you know, all the
- 39:28companies that administer the vaccines were immune to anything, which is fucking crazy.
- 39:34But Moderna, I remember when they had the vaccine out that there were people dying from it.
- 39:42Same thing with Pfizer. It's crazy to think that this was something that was pushed upon
- 39:49the general population. And again, it goes back to the Biden administration just completely
- 39:55ignoring the safety protocols of actually testing this vaccine out.
- 40:01It says here, vaccine injury reporting systems created confusion, failed to properly inform
- 40:05the American people about vaccine injuries, and deteriorated public trust in the vaccine
- 40:10safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- 40:13And of course, as I just previously explained, you know why.
- 40:16Vaccine injury compensation.
- 40:18I didn't even know this was a thing.
- 40:19Okay, it says the government is failing to efficiently, fairly, and transparently
- 40:24educate claims for the COVID-19 vaccine injured.
- 40:27Okay, so the government will not take responsibility, basically.
- 40:32The companies are immune to being sued.
- 40:36And so, yeah, that absolutely is a thing.
- 40:38And that's fucking ridiculous that these companies were able to make record
- 40:44profits on a vaccine that was untested, unverified, and didn't stop the
- 40:51transmission of or really contribute to even getting over COVID-19.
- 40:56Now, let's talk about the economic impact of the decisions made, okay?
- 41:02The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic and associated government responses on individuals,
- 41:08communities, small businesses, healthcare providers, states, and local government entities.
- 41:13So, the business impacts, which I'm very well aware of, says here the federal and state
- 41:19governments imposed mandatory lockdown.
- 41:21that were the primary cause of temporary and permanent business closures.
- 41:25More than 160,000 businesses closed due to the pandemic.
- 41:29I believe it's way higher than that, by the way, but whatever.
- 41:32With 60% of those closures classified as permanent.
- 41:3560, I'm going to say maybe 80.
- 41:37I mean, there wasn't really many businesses that got through it.
- 41:42It says, for the businesses that stayed to reopen the lack of supply chain,
- 41:45diversity exacerbated pandemic-era challenges and deepened existing disparities.
- 41:51Okay, healthcare impacts.
- 41:53America's healthcare system was severely damaged by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- 41:58No shit, we all saw it.
- 41:59Patients experienced a decreased quality of care, longer wait times, shorter medical appointments, and missed diagnoses.
- 42:08Worker impacts.
- 42:09So unemployed rates surged to levels not seen since the Great Depression.
- 42:15overly broad mitigation measures, including the now debunked six feet apart guidance,
- 42:22disproportionately impact sectors with low wage earners.
- 42:26The Federal Reserve says the Federal Reserve's aggressive early and unprecedented response
- 42:32to the COVID-19 pandemic prevented a severe economic downturn.
- 42:36This continued approach also contributed to staggering inflation.
- 42:41It goes on to the social impact of decisions to close schools, how the decisions were made, and whether there's evidence of widespread learning loss or other negative effects as a result of these decisions.
- 42:55COVID-19 school closures says the science never justified prolonged school closures.
- 43:00Children were unlikely to contribute to the spread of COVID-19 or suffer severe illnesses or mortality.
- 43:06Instead, as a result of school closures, children experienced historic learning loss, higher rates of psychological distress, and decreased physical well-being.
- 43:15Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, influenced.
- 43:19So the Biden administration's CDC broke precedent and provided a political teachers organization the access to its scientific school reopening guidance.
- 43:30Former CDC director Rochelle Walensky asked the American Federation of Teachers, which
- 43:35is the AFT, to provide specific language for the guidance and even went so far as to accept
- 43:41numerous edits made by the AFT.
- 43:45So let me explain what that whole thing means there, that section I just read.
- 43:50Basically, they put the teachers in charge of their own guidance on how to manage COVID-19
- 43:57and the learning process in schools.
- 44:01And what this led to were numerous, I mean, basically just about every teacher
- 44:06got to stay home and get paid.
- 44:08And they fought tooth and nail.
- 44:11They did not want to go back to the classrooms.
- 44:14Now, there were a few that I know and I've talked to that really didn't like it
- 44:18because it didn't let them interact with the children.
- 44:21but didn't let them help them directly and get involved on a human nature,
- 44:28face-to-face in the same room.
- 44:32It's a little different when you can see each other and interact,
- 44:36but the majority advocated to not get back to the classroom.
- 44:41Now, if you're a teacher listening to this, you can't deny it.
- 44:44I'm going to tell you why you can't.
- 44:46I have done a lot of business in different school districts
- 44:50and provided services.
- 44:51And even during COVID-19,
- 44:53a lot of schools were getting upgrades to their systems
- 44:56and spending tons of money
- 44:57to install different technologies.
- 45:01And they took advantage of the funding they were getting.
- 45:04And yes, I talked to administrators.
- 45:06I've talked to teachers.
- 45:07And they all did not want to go back to the classroom.
- 45:10I would say 90, I'm wrong.
- 45:12I'm going to say 90% didn't.
- 45:1390% fought tooth and nail to not go back to the classrooms.
- 45:17So that's my firsthand testimony.
- 45:20Now, I'm going to leave this here.
- 45:22I think I'm done reading the bullet points here.
- 45:25There's a lot of information.
- 45:26Listen, the report itself is over 500 pages,
- 45:28and they go on to address much, much more topics in detail,
- 45:36including Fauci himself.
- 45:38And I'll just say that after you read this,
- 45:40and I encourage you to,
- 45:41I'm going to leave the link in the show notes,
- 45:43that you're going to really scratch your head
- 45:45and ask yourself why Fauci has not been put on trial
- 45:49and is literally not in jail right now for crimes against humanity.
- 45:52All that being said, though, you were right.
- 45:55You were right to question.
- 45:56You were right to hold them accountable.
- 46:00You were right to not believe the science because the science was never presented.
- 46:04The science itself was not scientific.
- 46:05It didn't prove anything.
- 46:07The data sets were skewed.
- 46:08There wasn't a wide enough net cast to collect as much data as needed
- 46:14to make educated decisions when it came to administering the COVID-19 vaccines, lockdowns,
- 46:24social distancing, masking, you name it.
- 46:28Listen, you're right.
- 46:28You're vindicated.
- 46:30Now, I'm not sure what that gets you.
- 46:31I'm not sure what that gets us now.
- 46:33The only thing we could hope at this point is that the people who screwed over the American
- 46:41public, the world actually, should be put on trial and held accountable for their crimes.
- 46:49They made record profits off the deaths of so many people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- 46:58Now, let's move on to another world event.
- 47:02This is something, remember in the beginning of the show when I said that I was going to
- 47:09discuss what's going on in Syria.
- 47:11And that time is now.
- 47:13I've been getting really heavy into geopolitics lately because I realized that the relationships
- 47:20between various nations and the delicate balances of resources shared by nations and cultures,
- 47:30it's all intertwined.
- 47:33And I don't think enough people pay attention to it.
- 47:36Now, I'm no expert in geopolitics, by the way, but I have taken an interest.
- 47:41I do research the events that I have an interest in or that catch my attention anyway.
- 47:48Now, the biggest geopolitical event or world events that catch most people's attention have been the Ukraine-Russia war and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
- 48:00But what just happened in Syria?
- 48:02And Syria, the situation there is ever developing, ever changing.
- 48:07So even after I do my best to explain what happened there,
- 48:10there will be other developments that I'll have to touch on later in another episode for sure.
- 48:15For sure.
- 48:16So what just happened in Syria?
- 48:19Well, if you weren't paying attention, what happened is the longtime dictator of Syria,
- 48:27Bashar Assad, has been overthrown.
- 48:31Now, this was due to a longstanding rebel uprising that has been going on, I believe, for about 13 years or so.
- 48:41And it accelerated due to the involvement of another rebel group named the HTS.
- 48:49Now, the rebels have taken Syria, but they had considerable help from Abu Muhammad al-Golani,
- 48:57or also pronounced Jolani, and has been spelled with either a G or a J, and his group, the HTS.
- 49:07He has now been deemed the new leader of Syria.
- 49:11Golani was an al-Qaeda member and an ISIS ally back when he was in Iraq.
- 49:17Ghulani was originally sent to Syria by Al-Qaeda in 2011.
- 49:22Okay, so in 2011, he was sent to Syria to lead the Syrian arm of the Al-Qaeda regime
- 49:30or the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization.
- 49:33So he was responsible for deadly bombings and threats to Western forces
- 49:39and enforced religious doctrine, namely Sharia law.
- 49:42Now, Ghulani attempted, or Jelani, I keep saying Ghulani, but just hang in there with me.
- 49:50Jelani attempted to change his image when he broke away from Al-Qaeda and started down a path of appeasing to and even protecting the Syrian people.
- 49:59Now, now that Syria has fallen, I'm going to say this.
- 50:04you have to consider whether or not Jelani's change of heart has been nothing more than a
- 50:10planned manipulation of the Syrian rebel forces and their supporters to gain support himself
- 50:15as the new leader of Syria. Now, the other question is how long before Jelani returns to
- 50:23his extremist terrorist ways? Now, we hope it's a change. The Syrian people deserve a better life
- 50:29and a change. But it's kind of hard to celebrate the fall of one dictatorial regime for what may
- 50:36very well be another. And let's just call Jelani what he is. He is a terrorist. And while he's
- 50:44trying to portray a different image by supporting the local Syrians and working with other rebel
- 50:50forces to overthrow Assad, he has now been installed as the de facto leader of Syria.
- 51:00Again, I would hope that he has had a change of heart, but for the most part, it's kind
- 51:06of hard to tell if that will be the case.
- 51:07And I really, at this point, I'm going to be very honest in saying that I am doubtful.
- 51:12Now, what is so important about all of this?
- 51:17Well, first off, as I said earlier, Assad was a brutal dictator.
- 51:21The only positive that Assad ever offered was that he did protect the Christians within that area.
- 51:30And for the most part, let various religions interact and live together without enforcing any extremist religious views.
- 51:40But he was very brutal.
- 51:42He was very brutal and led with an iron fist.
- 51:46And if you did not support him or anything that he wanted, you were punished for that.
- 51:52And not in a nice way.
- 51:54Now, Assad had the support of Russia and Iran.
- 51:59Currently, though, Assad has not been killed, but he did establish.
- 52:04and he has been granted asylum in Russia.
- 52:10Now, you may ask, how is it that Russia and Iran didn't get together militarily
- 52:16to further push back the rebel forces, namely the HTS, and stand up to Jelani?
- 52:24It's important to understand this.
- 52:27Iran and Russia, while they are both allies and both had supported Assad,
- 52:33they do have very different goals.
- 52:37And they only align and come together as allies
- 52:41because they're two powers that are both greatly scrutinized
- 52:46and even hated, but they know together they can support each other.
- 52:52Again, their views don't align.
- 52:54Their world views don't align.
- 52:56So while they both supported Assad,
- 52:58their interests in Syria itself were both very different.
- 53:05Now, Vladimir Putin has granted Assad asylum,
- 53:10and he is, as I understand it, residing in Moscow right now.
- 53:17So where does that leave us?
- 53:20That leaves the Syrian people currently led by a known al-Qaeda terrorist,
- 53:28with ties to ISIS.
- 53:33And it didn't really take long, by the way.
- 53:36It didn't take long with all the chaos that Israel quickly moved in.
- 53:42And what Israel did is they took control of Mount Hermon.
- 53:46Now, there's a reason this is extremely important for Israel.
- 53:50See, Mount Hermon is the highest peak.
- 53:53It is the highest peak, measuring in at 2,814 meters.
- 54:00So it has a direct line of sight to Damascus.
- 54:06It's also so high that it can literally be used as a point to survey pretty much almost all of Syria.
- 54:14It allows Israel to install surveillance equipment up there, as well as radar technologies, which gives them a strategic advantage in not just surveilling Syria and Damascus, the capital, but also allowing them to see what's on the other side of Mount Hermon, namely Lebanon.
- 54:38So it's important because Lebanon has been a place of refuge for Hamas and various other terrorist organizations and has been a proxy of Iran.
- 54:53There have been many attacks launched against Israel by way of Lebanon with drones and other forces that were hard for Israel to detect because of Mount Hermon.
- 55:06And being that it was so high or so tall,
- 55:09by the time they were able to detect any attacks via drones, missiles, whatever,
- 55:14it was almost too late.
- 55:15So with Israel's ability to secure Mount Hermon and gain that high vantage point
- 55:21and install surveillance equipment, radar equipment,
- 55:25they now have the advantage over their perceived enemies or their actual enemies.
- 55:31The other thing about Mount Hermon is it's literally only 40 kilometers away from Damascus.
- 55:39Now, what this also does, what this also does for Israel is it gives them the advantage
- 55:45because now they're well within range of firing artillery shells at Damascus if they needed
- 55:51to.
- 55:53So Mount Hermon was a very very very important site for Israel to conquer And they pretty much just walked in unopposed while everything was going on with the overthrow of the Assad regime With everything being said
- 56:08Israel took no time to take advantage of the situation,
- 56:14establish themselves a strategic military point
- 56:17upon Mount Hermon,
- 56:19in which they have full advantage of surveillance
- 56:22as well as artillery fire on Syria and Lebanon.
- 56:27Now, Israel also, after taking control of Mount Hermon, launched air raids and bombings on strategic military sites that were left over by the supporting Russian forces, namely airfields with aircraft.
- 56:44And also, I believe there were missile launching sites, etc.
- 56:51And this was done, according to Israel, in an attempt to make sure that those armaments weren't left behind for terrorist organizations within Syria still, such as ISIS.
- 57:02Now, that is their reasoning, but it's not just Israel because at the same time, the U.S., yes, the USA, United States of America, also did the same thing in a preemptive effort to make sure there wasn't any strategic military armaments left behind.
- 57:20for any terrorist organizations to get a hold of.
- 57:23Now, being that the events going on in Syria
- 57:26are really considered a longstanding civil war
- 57:29against the previous dictatorial regime of Assad,
- 57:35you may ask, well, why is Israel in the U.S.
- 57:38even getting involved?
- 57:39Let's just be honest.
- 57:41Every nation's going to run to protect their own interests.
- 57:44Israel obviously wants a land.
- 57:47And it's no secret that Israel has always wanted to expand.
- 57:52And beyond that, they're taking advantage of strategic positions
- 57:55so that they have the upper hand on any terrorist organization
- 57:59that may try to attack Israel from behind Mount Hermon
- 58:02or being shielded by Mount Hermon because now they can see what's going on.
- 58:07They can surveil what's going on.
- 58:09And the U.S. is just being the U.S.
- 58:11They're making sure they have control of the situation as well.
- 58:13Now, while the American people don't want to get involved, the reality is there's no way to not be involved.
- 58:20Because there have been too many terrorist factions that have ran into Syria and Lebanon,
- 58:27but focusing back on Syria and hidden there and have strategically bided their time and built up their numbers.
- 58:37And so the U.S. is just trying to put all of that in check.
- 58:40It also further guarantees that Iran remains weakened and further weakened by no longer being able to bolster terrorist organizations that will fight on behalf of Iran.
- 58:54Now, for Russia, Syria was a strategic partner in the area because it gave them also a strategic military advantage right there next to Israel.
- 59:06And here, let's just go over the map of it.
- 59:09So here's what's important strategically in terms of location as far as Syria is concerned.
- 59:16So Syria borders Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, and Turkey.
- 59:24It also has a fairly decent stretch of coastline in the Mediterranean Sea.
- 59:30So geographically, this is a strong position to have militarily.
- 59:39You could also argue that Syria is sandwiched by many other enemies,
- 59:44possible enemies, and in turn could be easily crushed.
- 59:50But when you have the might of a country as large as Russia
- 59:54within that specific area it keeps some of those other nations in check So it was a strategic location for Russia And so maybe that answers possibly the other question
- 1:00:07Like, why would Putin give Assad asylum?
- 1:00:10Like, what value at this point does Assad offer if he's no longer the leader of Syria?
- 1:00:17Maybe there's a plan to reinstall Assad as the leader of Syria.
- 1:00:22Maybe Russia is biding their time as they're fighting Ukraine, and they might possibly bolster an attack to take Syria back and put Assad back in power.
- 1:00:36That's a possibility.
- 1:00:38I'm not quite sure why, outside of that theory I just gave you, that Putin would offer Assad any asylum.
- 1:00:48It really just doesn't make sense to me outside of that.
- 1:00:50But now let's take a step further and ask, is the USA's involvement currently and Israel's involvement?
- 1:01:00I mean, Israel just wants to basically own the whole area.
- 1:01:04Let's just be quite honest.
- 1:01:05I'm personally not against Israel or the people of Israel themselves, but Israel's made it very clear that they're there to wipe out any opposition and expand their territory.
- 1:01:17And the USA, well, let's just be honest.
- 1:01:20we definitely have our own interests.
- 1:01:23But what makes Syria so important that everybody wants to fight over it
- 1:01:27and right away get in there?
- 1:01:28I mean, even Turkey is making sure that their interests
- 1:01:31are definitely being protected.
- 1:01:35I'm going to go over what Syria as a land has to offer.
- 1:01:38See, Syria, what a lot of people don't realize and no one's talking about,
- 1:01:41all they're talking about is the overthrow of Assad
- 1:01:45and how this can possibly be a new leadership
- 1:01:49and a leaf that has turned for the Syrian people
- 1:01:52and possibly a better life.
- 1:01:54And we really do hope that is the case.
- 1:01:57But the reality is everybody wants to protect their interests
- 1:02:00and align with the right group of people
- 1:02:02because Syria has been known to be the most important producer
- 1:02:08of crude oil in the Middle East.
- 1:02:10So before the conflict, Syria produced about 380,000 barrels of oil per day.
- 1:02:19But outside of oil, it's heavily rich in natural gas.
- 1:02:24Their domestic natural gas reserves are becoming increasingly important resource.
- 1:02:28And before this conflict, Syria was shifting its focus to exporting natural gas because it had sufficient reserves.
- 1:02:35So, right there, just those two things alone, the oil and the natural gas, that right there answers the question as to why Russia felt it was so important to be a strategic ally to Syria, to the Assad regime.
- 1:02:52The other thing Syria has to offer are other natural resources like phosphate, iron, chrome, and magnesium ores.
- 1:03:00There's also marble, gypsum, asphalt, salt.
- 1:03:03I mean, there's a lot of natural resources in Syria.
- 1:03:07And a lot of people are talking about, well, Syria is a very old nation.
- 1:03:11There's a lot of history and people want to have control over these biblical cities.
- 1:03:16And, you know, the rich historical context and scripts and whatnot.
- 1:03:23Listen, that's very romantic, but it's bullshit.
- 1:03:27The whole reason anybody is interested in Syria is a strategic location in the area.
- 1:03:33and its natural resources.
- 1:03:36And I'm telling you, you don't want to hear this from me, but it's true.
- 1:03:39That's the only reason people are interested in Syria
- 1:03:42and why everybody is there trying to make sure that their interests are protected.
- 1:03:48What I find sad is they have possibly the Syrian people have possibly possibly escaped from underneath the boot of one very brutal dictator and possibly are now under the thumb of another
- 1:04:05It's sad that the people, most people of Middle Eastern countries,
- 1:04:10for whatever reason, are always in this situation.
- 1:04:12I mean, why are they not allowed to just live a full productive life?
- 1:04:18A lot of that leads back to, let's just be quite honest,
- 1:04:22Israel and the USA. We're two superpowers that have done everything they could to manipulate
- 1:04:29and shape that area for their own gains. I mean, let's not forget that Al-Qaeda was a byproduct
- 1:04:38of the CIA, meant to overthrow other governments in place that we disagreed with. And once they
- 1:04:45did their job, Al-Qaeda just became what Al-Qaeda is today. Now, aside from both Israel and the USA
- 1:04:51trying to stake their claim and make sure that their interests are protected.
- 1:04:58And especially when it comes to the resources offered by Syria,
- 1:05:02Israel and the USA also want to make sure that the terrorist organizations
- 1:05:08that were able to escape into areas like Syria cannot get any bigger and can stay controlled.
- 1:05:16Ultimately, both nations, the USA and Israel,
- 1:05:19I want to wipe these terrorist organizations out completely because even if we could blame the CIA for creating al-Qaeda and even ISIS, it got out of their control.
- 1:05:30We no longer have control of ISIS or al-Qaeda.
- 1:05:32That stopped a long time ago.
- 1:05:33So these rebel forces were trained by the United States to do what they do and then became literal instruments of terror as they wanted to control the areas and rule the people and instill Sharia law.
- 1:05:52Now, I want to stay positive in light of everything that's going on.
- 1:05:56And I want to believe that Abu Mohammed al-Jolani has changed,
- 1:06:03and he truly will be the leader that the people of Syria need,
- 1:06:08and in turn would be actually open to wanting to become a strategic ally of the United States.
- 1:06:15And I also will say that I hope Israel doesn't go on a war path and just starts attacking
- 1:06:22everybody in Syria for the sake of doing so because they seem weakened.
- 1:06:29I hope that both Israel and the USA can give Syria a chance to reset, give the Syrian people
- 1:06:37a chance to live the life that they've always wanted, and that, again, they can become true
- 1:06:43allies of the United States and Israel, and that this will also help to further weaken
- 1:06:51the terrorist funding nation of Iran.
- 1:06:55Well, that's the end of episode 51.
- 1:06:58And I hope that you enjoyed all the facts presented, but also my opinions and my theories.
