  SPEAKER_01: Who are these people?
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_02: So, and I did have this two somewhat longer articles or things to talk about.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_02: Nolan Wells.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_02: A lynching, maybe.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, terrible, awful story.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_02: This worst case scenario article that was written by BitBeat Media,
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_02: I thought was really interesting.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_02: Trump firing the entire election assistance commission.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_02: That was a useless entity anyway,
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_02: but still one of the guardrails that allegedly was ensuring that we had free
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_02: and fair elections and that there was a level of disconnect between machines
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_02: and certification boards and everything else.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_02: That's not just been eliminated.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_02: And then finally,
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_02: we have a Robbie Yeager article about dark money in Michigan funding Haley Stevens.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_02: And I love that picture.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_02: By the way,
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_02: do not search for Haley Stevens spelled the same way she does
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_02: in DuckDuckGo image search with safe search filter turned off.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_02: You will be very surprised by what you find.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_02: I'll just go there.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so first, Nolan Wells.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_02: This is so sad.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_02: This lady thinks, I think Nolan Wells was lynched, full stop.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_02: And this is a somewhat long article, but this young man, he deserves to have his story told.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_02: So this lady starts by saying, and say his name, black men deserve to grow old.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: This is Nolan Xavier Wells.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_02: He was 18.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_02: He was a boy,
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_02: barely a man,
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: a boy who was unfortunate enough to have grown up in America's deep south as
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_02: a black American.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_02: Among friends, he was cherished.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_02: He was an avid football player who enjoyed doing football things that I don't really understand.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_02: He had a great future ahead of him, complete with college and a proud family.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_02: On July 4th, he went missing.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: His body was found two days later,
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_02: confirmed to have passed away under mysterious circumstances.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_02: While freak accidents do happen,
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: there's ample reason to believe that this was not a freak accident.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_02: So this person says that growing up with Southern white father meant
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_02: that she'd hear stories of good old boys.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: My dad was a Texan.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_02: My dad would tell me that in the South, good old boys were protective over the women.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_02: He would say that if a woman was hit or hurt,
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_02: her brothers or fathers would get some of the good old boys to take the abuser on
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: a hunting trip.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, and wouldn't you know it, a hunting accident would happen and the abuser would go bye-bye.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: Without another word,
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_02: the hunter would be hunted,
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_02: would be the hunted, and the police would chalk it up as an honest accident.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: What I didn't realize is that there was still another type of hunting accident
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: that still happened in the South, lynching.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: My dad never broached that subject,
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_02: but as I grew older,
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_02: it's become very hard for me to ignore how often the same MO keeps popping up in
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: a racial setting.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: In the 19th and early 20th century, lynching was most commonly done with a noose.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_02: It was and is a form of racial terrorism,
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_02: meant to intimidate black Americans and make them learn their place, so to speak.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: Today, lynching still happened.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_02: However, the methods generally changed.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: Hangings are not so common because we all know the insinuation.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_02: However, they have been happening more and more frequently, and we've noted that.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: Today, they're hunting accidents and unusual circumstances that got
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_02: the individual separated from the group, unquote.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_02: This gives the assailants a level of plausible deniability that makes them palatable
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: in polite society.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_02: Fuck that.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_02: Nolan's death was remarkably similar to the stories my dad would tell me
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_02: about how Southerners took care of problematic men.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_02: Nolan was a popular kid in his school.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: He was also the only black friend in his circle of friends.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: He was dating a white girl, which is somewhat unusual in his home state of Mississippi.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_02: He and his quote-unquote friends went on a boat ride to Horn Island.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_02: Around 3 p.m.,
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: his friends say that he chose to stay on the island
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: while they loaded up his relative and escorted her back to the shore.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: After he was separated from his friends, he was seated with another girl by the name of Katie.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: He was supposed to come home early.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: He never did.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_02: This is weird because why would he choose to stay behind on a boat trip
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: when there was no way for him to come back without a boat?
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, and in breaking news,
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_02: it appears that Nolan was filmed getting into an altercation with his friends on
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: the boat trip near the water where he was found dead.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_02: Updated author's note,
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_02: I cover the way lynching is involved in a new article here if you're interested.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: Since Nolan's passing, his friends have been silent.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_02: His friends,
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: quote unquote friends,
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_02: have all deactivated their social media accounts and put their accounts on private.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_02: Social media users have been quick to point out several things.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_02: One, this is a classic circling the wagons behavior.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_02: You're not going to get information out of them.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_02: They've already made a point of making sure they don't have incriminating shit on their pages.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: The boys didn't call the cops.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_02: His mother was the one to report him missing.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_02: His friends had parents in positions of power.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_02: Interesting how that works, right?
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_02: They're already lawyered up and at least one works in a legal field.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_02: One of the moms is a judge.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_02: People already noticed that something's up.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: Many internet sleuths already pointed out that their behavior is incredibly suspicious.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: To have an entire clique of devastated friends suddenly go dark and not even release
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_02: a statement after their friend died on an island they left him on is beyond odd.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: Alright.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_02: These are not the actions of kids who are upset by the tragic passing of a friend.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: These are the actions of kids who are in panic mode
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_02: because they murdered their so-called friend or could be implicated in his death.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_02: He said, I've looked it up and there's a term for this, sundown boat trips.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_02: I remember hearing Descent tell me about sundown towns earlier this year.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: And here's somebody else pointing out that this story is grieving Hendrick Johnson,
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_02: Tamla Horsford.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_02: Situations like this video below are acute how people are getting so mad,
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_02: pointing out certain facts,
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: yet if it were the other way, we would have had arrests already.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_02: In the South, it's the South, so I don't have any hopes at all.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: Guy went on a sundown boat trip.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: For those not in the know...
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: A sundown town is a town where it's dangerous to be black and within city limits
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: after the sun sets.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_02: In the past,
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_02: there were actual laws in place preventing people of color from living there
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: or even just passing through.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: Today, sundown towns still exist, though it's not a legal thing.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_02: It's a situation where you might get harassed by cops or killed by a white nationalist gang.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_02: And yes, as a white person, this person, this author, can confirm that these towns are real.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: He knows because she's had to plan around them after seeing her friends harassed
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_02: and followed in certain areas.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: The fact that he got into an altercation,
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_02: had leaked audio that sounds like one guy was threatening him,
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_02: and then was later found dead that day in the Deep South,
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_02: is enough evidence for me to believe these classmates of his lynched him.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: Not only that, but one of them also had his phone, took his phone.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: You could hear him audibly yelling, give me my fucking phone back.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_02: And that was the kid that ended up with his phone after he was dead.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_02: And they had to run a trace on his phone to find it.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: There you go.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_02: It was someone saying, fuck you.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not getting in this fucking boat.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_02: Fuck you.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_02: What do you hear?
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: One user pointed out that he straight up said he wasn't getting on the boat after the argument.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_02: In parts of Mississippi, that's basically leaving someone to die.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: This is far from the only trip that involved one black person in a sea
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: of white friends to end this way.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_02: It's scarily common among murder cases, particularly in the South.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_02: Remember these names.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_02: Kendrick Johnson, who died and had his organs removed.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: He was found rolled up in a gym mat at his school.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: Marquis,
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_02: who almost died,
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: drowned while his white friends made monkey noises at him while refusing
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: to help him get out of water.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_02: He barely survived thanks to family of a passersby.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_02: A family of passersby.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_02: Alonzo Brooks,
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_02: who was found dead at a doorstep after going to a party where he was the only person
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_02: of color.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_02: He too was unable to find a ride home,
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: and the people at the party swore they had no idea about how he died.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_02: This is not an isolated incident.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: Also,
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: almost all of these incidents seem to happen in areas famous for racist assholes
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: and good old boy behavior.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_02: White people need to understand why black people feel uncomfortable as
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_02: the only person of color in a group.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_02: Look, fellow white folks, we need to talk.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_02: I've learned the hard way not to be the asshole who invites just one person of color
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_02: to an area that's almost all white.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_02: There are times when you can literally see the discomfort in some people.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's not just because the person in question might be worried
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_02: about being paraded around as the black friend.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's because it can literally be a safety issue.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: Even in innocuous places like house parties,
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_02: they can turn deadly in the presence of the wrong white person.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_02: And frankly, you can't always tell who's who.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_02: There are tons of situations where white people turn on minorities because they can
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_02: or because they thought it was acceptable to do so.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_02: Racial incidents can turn deadly fast,
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_02: and unfortunately when they happen, law enforcement often sides with the attackers.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_02: If you are Caucasian and you have black friends, make a point to get diverse groups going.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_02: Don't balk if they look uncomfortable if they're the only person of color.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_02: Unlike us, they have to make calculated decisions on how to stay safe every day of the week.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: If you're white and reading this, Understand, we have to change.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: This is not acceptable.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's never acceptable to put other people in that level of danger.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_02: It's never acceptable to talk about this like it's some kind of unfortunate accident
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_02: or random issue.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_02: This is on us.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_02: Their fear is rightful,
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_02: and because of our shit,
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_02: because of shit our people are doing, sadly, this is a fact of life in America.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_02: No, we white folks don't have the right to bluster about how it's reverse racism.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: No, we white folks don't get the right to say, but they should know we're cool.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_02: This isn't going to change until we as a whole society force it to change.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_02: And since it's whites doing the oppressing,
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_02: it's mostly going to have to be white people who learn to change our habits,
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_02: our reactions, and the way we see the world.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_02: And I would say the same thing about Jews and Israel and Zionism.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: I urge you,
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: if you have money to do so,
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_02: to donate to Nolan Wells' legal and memorial GoFundMe, you can find it here.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: Rest in peace, child, you didn't deserve this.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_02: I thought, and not only that, I got more on Nolan Wells.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_02: One more, this lady recorded this video, again, minute and a half.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_02: I'll let her do some talking so I can take a drink.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: The more I learn about the Nolan Wells case,
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: the more I'm convinced that it was a clan initiation ritual.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: One kid's parent is a judge,
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: another kid's parent is a lawyer, and another kid's parent works in the jail.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: Happens in Mississippi on the 250th anniversary of our country,
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: not to mention all the black people that have been found hanging from trees and
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: the big group of white masked men marching on the Capitol.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: This is all clan activity.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: The racism in this country disgusts me and it's a big reason why I'm no contact
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: with most of my family.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: I don't talk about it on here,
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: but I have a black brother and my mother raised him to believe
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: that racism isn't real.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: I pretty much started fighting with my family and going no contact with them
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: when Kyle Kaepernick took a knee because that's when all
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: of them started feeling comfortable on their racist skin.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't really had a relationship with my brother since he was 12 years old
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: because my mother cut me out of his life because I took him camping and to
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: a dinosaur museum when I found out that she told him he's not allowed to be
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: a paleontologist because dinosaurs aren't real.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: And he was like autistic level genius about dinosaurs.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: And instead of being a paleontologist, she forced him to go to Bible college.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: And now he's got a bunch of white Christian friends.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: When I hear about shit like this,
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: I think about my little brother and something like this happening to him
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: or something happening with the police.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: And like I noted before, I'm not trying to make this about myself.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just sharing this information so you could have context about where I'm coming from.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: But if we don't keep speaking up about this stuff and about the Epstein files,
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_00: nothing is going to be done about it because the people that are in power are
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: the Klan members and the people in the Epstein files.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_02: Zero lies detected.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_02: And there's a lot of people big mad in her comments under that,
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: but totally see her perspective there and, you know, can't discount that assessment.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: Here's Juanita Cash Hawkins saying,
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_02: regarding that baby Nolan Xavier Wells,
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: I agree with this woman that it appears to be a clan initiation ritual.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_02: Take heed.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: And then finally,
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: every single day,
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: this Nolan Wells story gets more heartbreaking and the timeline keeps shifting.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_02: You mean to tell me that Nolan's parents had to track his phone just to recover it
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: and there are still people who will go underneath these posts and make all types
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_02: of excuses to explain away a story that clearly doesn't sound right?
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: If your friend goes missing and you come home with his phone and his keys
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_02: and his parents have to track that phone just to get it back,
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: this story raises more questions at every turn.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_02: Nolan's family deserves a full,
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_02: transparent investigation,
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_02: not a shifting timeline and a rush to call it an accident.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: Nolan Xavier Wells should still be alive.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_02: There were rumors and speculation that potentially the family knew where
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_02: the body was and had it hidden until
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_02: the Coast Guard could potentially recover it two days later because there was
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: an extensive search for 40 plus hours where they couldn't find it.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: And two hours after the Coast Guard start searching,
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: lo and behold, magically, they find the body.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_02: Very suspicious.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: In the good old boy South.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: This was a terrible,
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_02: terrible story that I did not see nearly enough people in independent media talking
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_02: about.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_02: Sadly, this was a lynching.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_02: This was a murder.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_02: And it's very sad.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: Again,
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: I wanted to read this article and I think I'm probably going to bring it next week
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_02: because it's really creepy and dystopian,
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_02: but also very telling of where things could very quickly go.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_02: They built a machine that knows everything you've ever done,
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: and those who you hate own that machine.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_02: Now there's nowhere left to hide.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_02: And you can listen to this article over at betbeat.substack.com.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: Just in the graphic,
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_02: it's showing a drone,
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_02: similar to like in one of the later X-Men movies,
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_02: like Days of Future Past,
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_02: kind of scanning a human and identifying that target by name, age,
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: and even their preference,
• 16:58
