Speaker:

This is the Secular Foxhole podcast.

Speaker:

Today, Martin and I have a returning guest.

Speaker:

Vinay Kolhatkar is an Australian freelance

Speaker:

journalist, novelist, screenwriter, and finance professional.

Speaker:

He is the chief editor of

Speaker:

the Savvy Street in public intellectual

Speaker:

eazine committed to Liberty and individualism.

Speaker:

Vinay has authored a TV pilot, screenplay, Undercover,

Speaker:

The Story of Jamila, and two cinematic thrillers,

Speaker:

A Sharia London and The Frankenstein Candidate.

Speaker:

He is also the co author of Media The

Speaker:

Battle to Shape Our Minds, which delves into how

Speaker:

and why fascism is taking over the west.

Speaker:

And probably a good segue into what has happened in

Speaker:

Australia and New Zealand over the last 90 days.

Speaker:

I think it's just been your lockdowns have been

Speaker:

lifted, but we saw some horror stories there.

Speaker:

Vinay, can you delve into some of those? Sure, we can.

Speaker:

Thanks for having me again. You're welcome.

Speaker:

Good afternoon to you, Blair.

Speaker:

And good evening to Martin. Good morning.

Speaker:

Three different things I know.

Speaker:

Is that morning for you? Yeah.

Speaker:

Between 738 in the morning on Saturdays, we're

Speaker:

almost always a day ahead of that's, right.

Speaker:

Everyone else in night in Sweden and late afternoon.

Speaker:

So when it comes to Australia, I was

Speaker:

going to write this article, which I was

Speaker:

going to call is Australia becoming authoritarian?

Speaker:

And I was going to answer that in the affirmative.

Speaker:

And I would still except for one thing

Speaker:

that kind of I thought about yesterday.

Speaker:

In fact, as I began to call, we should

Speaker:

present this because there has been quite a lot

Speaker:

of very selective presentation even by the right wing

Speaker:

media on this issue of lockdowns.

Speaker:

So, yes, the short answer is the entire world

Speaker:

has moved towards China in the last two years.

Speaker:

So officially, 1 December 2019 was the

Speaker:

first time somebody presented in a Chinese

Speaker:

hospital with Govin like symptoms.

Speaker:

The Hong Kong based South China Morning Post

Speaker:

says, no, this was a lot earlier.

Speaker:

According to them, it happened in November.

Speaker:

But we sort of two years into

Speaker:

the pandemic and pretty much every country

Speaker:

on Earth has become more totalitarian.

Speaker:

And going towards the distance between

Speaker:

the west and China is decreasing.

Speaker:

And I wish it was China moving towards

Speaker:

the west, but it's the other way around.

Speaker:

So every state, every nation state

Speaker:

has to become more authoritarian.

Speaker:

And there has been some very specific

Speaker:

problems in Australia and New Zealand.

Speaker:

And what I want to stress is

Speaker:

the foundation rather than the visuals.

Speaker:

Okay, so in the American media, I believe

Speaker:

you're getting visuals, YouTube videos, people protesting and

Speaker:

they've been beaten up by the riot police.

Speaker:

Are they being charged by

Speaker:

police unmounted horses or batons?

Speaker:

And they are getting hurt.

Speaker:

They are getting fined heavily.

Speaker:

And yes, that's all true, but a selective and it's

Speaker:

true also in a lot of protests in Europe as

Speaker:

well as I believe I've seen some videos of that.

Speaker:

And no doubt there have been some protests and there

Speaker:

have been a lot of riots in fact, in the

Speaker:

United States, some of them are unrelated to the pandemic.

Speaker:

Correct.

Speaker:

So the primary defect in Australia, I'll stick to Australia

Speaker:

for the time being is that we are the only

Speaker:

Liberal democracy in the world who doesn't have anything resembling

Speaker:

a bill of rights or a charter of what they

Speaker:

call a charter of human rights.

Speaker:

So the United States obviously does

Speaker:

have a bill of rights.

Speaker:

So does Canada in the UK, New Zealand, even

Speaker:

I believe Singapore, even India and Iraq and even

Speaker:

Iraq and Turkey included in that list.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

And I interrupt you, you don't have any link

Speaker:

because you have heritage to United Kingdom and the

Speaker:

British Empire with Magna Shorta or something like that.

Speaker:

Yes, the Magna Carta is definitely a link.

Speaker:

And the Australian Constitution guarantees are basically five rights,

Speaker:

and that includes the right to vote, the right

Speaker:

to a trial by jury, which I think is

Speaker:

not present in some of the Asian countries like

Speaker:

India, the right to not suffer religious discrimination or

Speaker:

rather freedom of religion, and the right to not

Speaker:

suffer discrimination by the origin of state, because Australia

Speaker:

also is a Federalist nation state like the United

Speaker:

States and Canada.

Speaker:

But there is no freedom of speech.

Speaker:

And also, sorry, there is a right to prop.

Speaker:

The fifth one is a right to property compensation.

Speaker:

So you don't have the right to prevent

Speaker:

your property being acquired by the Crown.

Speaker:

But should the Crown acquire it,

Speaker:

they must give you just compensation.

Speaker:

Big defect.

Speaker:

But what we have seen over the last two

Speaker:

years and as we said, authoritarianism has increased.

Speaker:

And the reason for that is a defect

Speaker:

that is present across the entire Western world.

Speaker:

And let's come to that now, which is why my

Speaker:

answer is in the affirmative for all of the west.

Speaker:

So what we don't have in the UK and

Speaker:

New Zealand, but what we have in the US,

Speaker:

Canada, Australia, India is a federal nation state.

Speaker:

So Federation of States have got together.

Speaker:

And in India, it's kind of a strange animal

Speaker:

because the Union dominates the States, but not so

Speaker:

in Australia and the United States and Canada, normally

Speaker:

always rather than normally the libertarians rejoice in Federalism,

Speaker:

they say, oh, good to have decentralization.

Speaker:

But let's go to the United States.

Speaker:

Now, one of the problems we have is

Speaker:

that the States have certain rights, includes emergency

Speaker:

powers to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Speaker:

And I believe that's enshrined in the 10th Amendment to

Speaker:

the US Constitution, as well as what the American Bar

Speaker:

Association says is 200 years of legal precedents.

Speaker:

So they site this 19 or two case, which

Speaker:

is more than 100 years ago in Louisiana.

Speaker:

So it was the Port of New

Speaker:

Orleans which was infected with disease.

Speaker:

And instead of putting a positive obligation on the Port,

Speaker:

which would be rational to have a play car or

Speaker:

a board up there saying beware, don't come here.

Speaker:

This is invested with whatever it is, asking them

Speaker:

to put out an order and letting the free,

Speaker:

healthy people choose whether they still want to take

Speaker:

the risk of working at the Port in New

Speaker:

Orleans, visiting it, or going there as a tourist.

Speaker:

The state put an obligation on healthy

Speaker:

people, preventing them from entering the Port,

Speaker:

and the Louisiana Supreme Court upheld that.

Speaker:

So we've had 200 years of precedent where the

Speaker:

States can exercise emergency powers to prevent all sorts

Speaker:

of movement rights to work, the rights we take

Speaker:

for granted, and they may be even enshrined in

Speaker:

some way in the Constitution.

Speaker:

And that's what has allowed a lot of European

Speaker:

States and even the United States to have all

Speaker:

sorts of mandates, lockdowns, businesses, closures, vaccination mandates, the

Speaker:

mandate to wear masks when inside and even outside,

Speaker:

and two square meter rules, all sorts of things

Speaker:

which have happened here as well.

Speaker:

And most recently, the state of Victoria passed a bill

Speaker:

to become law, which is called the Pandemic Bill.

Speaker:

And these state powers were vested in the

Speaker:

chief health officer and they're being transferred to

Speaker:

the Premier, which is by the governor.

Speaker:

People think that's incredibly unfortunate.

Speaker:

And there were a lot of protest against that, too.

Speaker:

But in sort of my thinking, it's neither here

Speaker:

nor there, because the sort of argument was that

Speaker:

the politicians shouldn't have that much power.

Speaker:

Of course they shouldn't.

Speaker:

Neither should anyone designated as the chief

Speaker:

health officer, which is worse, kind of

Speaker:

because it's an unelected bureaucrat.

Speaker:

And we know that the so called chief

Speaker:

health officers are anything but independent anyway, them

Speaker:

having that power, what's kind of worse?

Speaker:

Because the politicians, the governors, the Premier's

Speaker:

hid behind the officer's skirts and they

Speaker:

said, oh, no, but it's not us.

Speaker:

That's the advice we're getting.

Speaker:

And that's why we're introducing a lockdown

Speaker:

or mask mandate or vaccination mandate.

Speaker:

So we have this situation where virtually the entire

Speaker:

West, I would say this is the reason is

Speaker:

at risk because we have enshrined that law, the

Speaker:

power to prevent infectious diseases located in emergency powers,

Speaker:

and it's being exercised to a degree which has

Speaker:

never been the case before, and especially it is

Speaker:

being exercised against the disease, which arguably, with Omicron

Speaker:

is getting perhaps more infectious but less deadly.

Speaker:

A lot of coronaviruses have ended

Speaker:

up causing only a common cold.

Speaker:

So we had a lot better solutions than

Speaker:

what has been actually imposed on us. Agreed?

Speaker:

Yeah, it's the same here in the States.

Speaker:

I mean, the media is absolutely one sided in

Speaker:

favor of whatever the President or the governor's hear

Speaker:

say to do, and they always extend the emergency

Speaker:

powers of the governors for each state.

Speaker:

I think there's only, like two States that

Speaker:

have not extended those kind of emergency powers.

Speaker:

The way you describe it, as

Speaker:

everyone's lurking on moving towards China

Speaker:

instead of China moving towards freedom.

Speaker:

That's a perfect summary.

Speaker:

Hopefully that trend can be reversed,

Speaker:

but it's only through ideas.

Speaker:

And when you have the media and right

Speaker:

now, I guess big tech all on board.

Speaker:

Indeed, you have a big sort of crony

Speaker:

nest and what we call the deep state,

Speaker:

a bunch of unelectric bureaucrats, the intelligence agencies,

Speaker:

a whole range of associations.

Speaker:

For instance, there's a joint release by the

Speaker:

American Medical Association, the American Pharmacist Association in

Speaker:

the American Society of Health Systems Pharmacists.

Speaker:

And that condemns Ivory acting as a possible

Speaker:

remedy for COVID or as a prophylactic.

Speaker:

And in general, the establishment everywhere has been

Speaker:

not in support of any alternate treatments.

Speaker:

And I noticed there was a news in NBC that Dr.

Speaker:

Mary bowed and she's in ENT, Houston Methodist

Speaker:

Hospital was suspended because on her social media

Speaker:

account, she touted as I would make potential

Speaker:

therapeutic use against COLVID and NBC.

Speaker:

When they reported it, they put her

Speaker:

in the same box as Dr.

Speaker:

Sue Macintosh, who lost her medical

Speaker:

license because of faking vaccination certificates.

Speaker:

Those two things are entirely different.

Speaker:

One is you are doing fakery, maybe for the

Speaker:

right reasons, but that's a completely different thing.

Speaker:

A fraud is completely different

Speaker:

to expressing a medical opinion.

Speaker:

And we have a big problem here in Australia

Speaker:

where the equivalent of the FDA is called TGA,

Speaker:

the Therapeutics Administration and some doctors say they have

Speaker:

been issuing directives is the word they use.

Speaker:

So if you ask me, they should have no

Speaker:

right to even provide guidance unless asked for.

Speaker:

And the equivalent of the Mdn CDC in

Speaker:

Australia has done everything it can to prevent

Speaker:

the doctor patient relationship in respect of COVID

Speaker:

from working normally and in variety of States.

Speaker:

In the United States, also in European nation States,

Speaker:

it's been the same thing has been happening is

Speaker:

my belief in Sweden used to be touted Martin

Speaker:

as the exception to the lockdown rules.

Speaker:

But I don't know where they are.

Speaker:

Like, can you go to a doctor and you and

Speaker:

your doctor decide what treatment you should have or if

Speaker:

someone comes down with covert it's only the state decides

Speaker:

you get no treatment for several days.

Speaker:

You're isolated at home and then if you're hospitalized,

Speaker:

they decide they do with you in the hospital.

Speaker:

It's not so strict and Blair and I have discussed it.

Speaker:

But if you know that you have some kind of

Speaker:

disease that could be deadly or could affect others, then

Speaker:

you should take care of that, I think.

Speaker:

But I think we should prevent it in different ways

Speaker:

and also have a free information flow of information.

Speaker:

So in a way I like how so

Speaker:

called they have handled here in Sweden.

Speaker:

But as you say, they are hiding behind the skirts.

Speaker:

So this agency, when it went well, so to speak, they

Speaker:

could talk and have a Press conference and so on.

Speaker:

But when they start seeing a pattern and then we

Speaker:

were not so popular anymore and when politicians did new

Speaker:

things, but we have never had a real lockdown but

Speaker:

in September they said everything is free.

Speaker:

So now you could have party now

Speaker:

you could have big events, gatherings, whatever. Yeah.

Speaker:

And what happened then of course, and

Speaker:

now we see this new version.

Speaker:

So it's going back and forth the

Speaker:

whole time but we don't have any.

Speaker:

You have to wear mask and whatnot.

Speaker:

But it's still these distances

Speaker:

and other things like that.

Speaker:

So that's relatively mild or social distancing to square

Speaker:

four square meter rules and stuff like that.

Speaker:

It's hard to administer and monitor anyway. Yeah.

Speaker:

But again I think we should focus on

Speaker:

I said we don't want to be conspiracy

Speaker:

theories here but you said this about China.

Speaker:

I read in Deutsche Valley I think it

Speaker:

was early on about Wuhan, about the bats.

Speaker:

And now I saw on a documentary like a science here

Speaker:

on the telly they talked about how the bats was transferred

Speaker:

to some animal event, to the people, to humans and also

Speaker:

coffee in different variations have been during the history but it

Speaker:

has been very silenced in a way and that's why I

Speaker:

wonder so we should talk more about that, learn from what's

Speaker:

happened there in Wuhan in China and also protect us for

Speaker:

the future and also but also see the risks of course,

Speaker:

but don't take the chance that it will be the big

Speaker:

brother and the long run because think about all the businesses

Speaker:

that have lost lots of money over with and other things

Speaker:

like that.

Speaker:

But you shouldn't do dangerous things

Speaker:

and you shouldn't do stupid things.

Speaker:

That's the thing here in Sweden and I've been

Speaker:

there but now we said in September, now it's

Speaker:

free to meet and have gatherings, big gatherings.

Speaker:

And then what happened?

Speaker:

Then it peaked again and I think in a way

Speaker:

we have to live with it for rest for a

Speaker:

long foreseen future and maybe we'll learn something from it.

Speaker:

But I don't like the demands and I don't like

Speaker:

how all the trust, so to speak in this agency

Speaker:

with the bureaucrats and definitely not see how the politicians

Speaker:

see their chance to really lock down.

Speaker:

But on the other hand I'm happy

Speaker:

that we haven't locked down totally.

Speaker:

Personally I would say that that's not a good idea.

Speaker:

And right now before we start recording, I

Speaker:

saw on John Galt line the Facebook group

Speaker:

there it was some British I think journalists

Speaker:

that have interviewed somebody in Australia, a private

Speaker:

individual that had a negative test.

Speaker:

But she was set in not house arrested.

Speaker:

It was more like a camp and then she was fine.

Speaker:

She could be fined lots of money if she walked outside.

Speaker:

And I thought that was horrendous and very scary.

Speaker:

The fines here are quite horrendous.

Speaker:

I think we probably lead the world

Speaker:

on finds that are just astronomical.

Speaker:

But here like in Sweden with lots

Speaker:

of language to get the information out.

Speaker:

They saw in different areas that the information was not

Speaker:

going out about COVID and how you could protect yourself

Speaker:

and about the vaccine and other things like that.

Speaker:

We should talk about the vaccines and the protections

Speaker:

they offer and fair bit of research here.

Speaker:

And I wanted to draw a parallel with

Speaker:

this index that the Heritage Foundation publishes, and

Speaker:

it's quite famous around the world, has been

Speaker:

happening for quite a number of years.

Speaker:

It's called Index of Economic Freedom, and they

Speaker:

judge nation States by your freedom to work,

Speaker:

produce, consume, invest free flow of labor, capital,

Speaker:

goods and the affirmation of property rights.

Speaker:

Now, Hong Kong rates number one, but

Speaker:

that doesn't count as a nation.

Speaker:

So in the nation ranking, Singapore's number one, New

Speaker:

Zealand number two in Australia number three, what surprised

Speaker:

me is in 2021, it's still New Zealand number

Speaker:

two and Australia number three, United States is 20

Speaker:

at the United Kingdom is seven, China is 107

Speaker:

in, India is 121 now.

Speaker:

And a lot of the Southern American countries on

Speaker:

the continent are down in the three figures. Okay.

Speaker:

But I wonder if we could compute an index of

Speaker:

medical freedom and the whole thing would be reversed.

Speaker:

And by that, I mean, yes, you should

Speaker:

be able to offer a vaccine without going

Speaker:

through a five year process, but it should

Speaker:

be based on free consent and full information.

Speaker:

You should pay for it in one way or another.

Speaker:

Also, sure, it shouldn't be free.

Speaker:

It should not be pushed down the

Speaker:

road, and you should be able to

Speaker:

consult the medical professionals of your choice.

Speaker:

Now, we have heard often talked about

Speaker:

Ivomectin, which is but there's also the

Speaker:

theory that HDR two vapors help.

Speaker:

There is a pulmonologist in India who has

Speaker:

been getting phenomenal results with an alternative treatment

Speaker:

that has made it into the journals, but

Speaker:

it's simply not being publicized to that extent.

Speaker:

And again, it's a drug that's

Speaker:

been around for over 100 years.

Speaker:

So these treatments people should be able to access.

Speaker:

And with vaccines, there was a denial of the

Speaker:

after effects that were occurring and the vaccine ended

Speaker:

up becoming like a reverse lot free.

Speaker:

So in a normal lottery, it's like everybody spends $5

Speaker:

and somebody wins a million dollars and we don't criticize

Speaker:

or envy the person who wins a million dollars.

Speaker:

We don't miss $5 when we lose them.

Speaker:

But if it was reversed, if it was like somebody

Speaker:

becomes bankrupt and loses a million dollars, but everybody gains

Speaker:

$5 and that would be a reverse lottery.

Speaker:

So everybody who has taken a vaccine, I

Speaker:

believe is now excluding perhaps Omicron has much

Speaker:

better immunity in terms of hospitalization rates and

Speaker:

death rates are less among the vaccinated.

Speaker:

But there were some who died.

Speaker:

Lisa Shaw, the BBC presenter, died.

Speaker:

There were people who got myocarditis pericarditis

Speaker:

heart inflammation among the young, there were

Speaker:

women whose periods have changed simply after

Speaker:

the first dose of the vaccine.

Speaker:

And those are highly frequent cases.

Speaker:

And there was this breakthrough, which was the

Speaker:

entire world media, except again, the South Korea

Speaker:

Herald and the Times of India.

Speaker:

The entire world has been silent on that

Speaker:

because all the vaccine manufacturers said that the

Speaker:

injection should be given in the muscle.

Speaker:

So it's in the del priority muscle.

Speaker:

Typically it's a large muscle with very

Speaker:

low risk of hitting a blood vessel.

Speaker:

But what doctors and nurses are trained to do

Speaker:

is to aspirate before vaccinate when the recommendation is

Speaker:

for the vaccine to be given in the muscle.

Speaker:

And that means when they inject, when they

Speaker:

insert the needle, they pull it back and

Speaker:

check if there is any blood coming.

Speaker:

If there is a blood vessel, they'll pull

Speaker:

it out, discard the needle, start again.

Speaker:

And that happens fairly rarely.

Speaker:

That when they're aspirating they discover

Speaker:

that they hit a blood vessel.

Speaker:

But if they don't, aspirate they would never know

Speaker:

if they've hit a blood vessel or not.

Speaker:

And unfortunately, across all of these vaccination centers, Aspiration

Speaker:

simply hasn't been asked for because they say, oh,

Speaker:

it's highly unlikely, there are no major blood vessels,

Speaker:

but highly unlikely is simply not good enough because

Speaker:

these vaccines are very different.

Speaker:

Both the Edenovirus AstraZenica vaccine and the

Speaker:

mRNA vaccines like modern and FISA, essentially

Speaker:

instruct your body to make spike protein.

Speaker:

So they're making a key element of the disease rather

Speaker:

than replicating the disease by giving you a weak virus

Speaker:

or an attenuated virus or a dead virus.

Speaker:

So the body then makes spike proteins and

Speaker:

then the body makes antibodies against the spike

Speaker:

protein which help against hospitalization and death if

Speaker:

you get the real spike protein into you.

Speaker:

And that comes with other things.

Speaker:

So that the other problem with the vaccines is

Speaker:

the efficacy starts to drop after six months.

Speaker:

If you inject in a blood vessel, then

Speaker:

the instructions are traveling across the body as

Speaker:

against, localized primarily in the deltoid muscle where

Speaker:

the spike protein happens, the antibodies happen and

Speaker:

then the antibodies travel around the body.

Speaker:

Only the antibodies of the travel, not instructions to

Speaker:

make spike protein shouldn't go all over the place.

Speaker:

So there is a study done on rats where two

Speaker:

groups and a bunch of rats were injected deliberately into

Speaker:

the way the same sort of Pfizer and whatever it

Speaker:

might have been the enovirus estrogenica vaccine.

Speaker:

And then a bunch of rats were

Speaker:

given the vaccine in the muscle.

Speaker:

So there were some cases

Speaker:

of heart inflammation developed.

Speaker:

So it was the mRNA vaccine.

Speaker:

Heart inflammation did develop in the rats

Speaker:

exclusively in the group that was given

Speaker:

the IV intravenously, the injection intravenously.

Speaker:

So we may have a situation where the vaccines have

Speaker:

been blamed a little bit unfairly, but then there has

Speaker:

been negligence on the part of the administration and they

Speaker:

don't want to admit to that negligence.

Speaker:

So they just simply suppressing this whole idea,

Speaker:

which is incredibly bad because some people have

Speaker:

suffered a lot and this is where the

Speaker:

index of medical freedom comes in.

Speaker:

You should be able to go to your doctor of

Speaker:

your choice which is what I did when you're taking

Speaker:

a vaccine and make sure that he asked for it

Speaker:

before he vaccined it I made sure I got that

Speaker:

for myself, my wife and my family and then we

Speaker:

didn't suffer any horrendous after effects but that seems to

Speaker:

be happening strangely enough, in the third world there's a

Speaker:

combination of things maybe losing our freedoms in the third

Speaker:

world you can walk into a surgeon and get into

Speaker:

a specialist or a physician and get prescribed I will

Speaker:

make and it was widely prescribed by the state government

Speaker:

Ultra Pradesh but the state of arrest has suddenly introduced

Speaker:

a travel restriction on a bunch of countries including the

Speaker:

whole of the EU because of Omega and surprisingly the

Speaker:

central government there as well as even the who in

Speaker:

the United Nations have been criticizing the travel bans because

Speaker:

they say they are unfair we ought to distribute the

Speaker:

disease fairly and this is where Australia becomes quite an

Speaker:

interesting case because let's look at the statistics now the

Speaker:

world debts around 5,000,260.

Speaker:

3 million cases now let's compare the debts per million

Speaker:

average is 663 the United States is above that 2000

Speaker:

and 389 the United Kingdom's 2000 and 134 New Zealand

Speaker:

is 44 Australia 78 so pretty much at the other

Speaker:

end of the scale India is 337 now you put

Speaker:

the focus more on Australia again what do you find

Speaker:

pretty high vaccination rates here now but an astonishing difference

Speaker:

by state So out on the West Coast near Western

Speaker:

Australia they're quite isolated it takes 4 hours by flight

Speaker:

to get there from Sydney it's a big time zone

Speaker:

difference as well and they practically have been able to

Speaker:

prevent cases by lockdowns and travel bans and the travel

Speaker:

Ban's have enabled them not to have lockdowns but then

Speaker:

there is some freedom being infringed anyway the travel ban

Speaker:

is an infringement federal government in Australia have been criticizing

Speaker:

Tasmania and Western Australia for what they're doing is isolating

Speaker:

themselves but their isolation has resulted in hardly any lockdowns

Speaker:

people are freely able to move around and now the

Speaker:

active cases in 2900 a day on average Victoria is

Speaker:

almost 13,000 a day Western Australia is two not 2002

Speaker:

active cases Tasmania is one new cases in Tasmania zero

Speaker:

cases to date since the pandemic started 238 so even

Speaker:

when you compare it on a per thousand population rate

Speaker:

is very dramatically less than in other States but they

Speaker:

have done so with another different kind of infringement but

Speaker:

it's still I guess it's preferable to beating people on

Speaker:

the street who are protesting living normally otherwise yeah two

Speaker:

things I blame myself for I heard this story and

Speaker:

I should have researched it and I will still do

Speaker:

that but Dr Fauche himself visited this lab and US

Speaker:

taxpayer money went to this lab for this COVID thing

Speaker:

before it blew up, if you will so this is

Speaker:

the Wuhan lab we're talking about.

Speaker:

Yeah, the Wuhan lab.

Speaker:

And I think that is just an abomination to be polite.

Speaker:

Well, the United States government, we

Speaker:

understand, funded the lab as well. Probably. Yes.

Speaker:

Our text, arguably the purpose

Speaker:

was to it's very ironical.

Speaker:

It's what they call the gain of function research.

Speaker:

So you actually make a virus a new form of virus,

Speaker:

make it more virulent so that it will enable us to

Speaker:

have vaccines and other treatments should a pandemic occur.

Speaker:

But Ironically, that resulted in the pandemic occurring

Speaker:

because there was a leak from the lab.

Speaker:

Now, the benign story is the one

Speaker:

of ignorance and therefore an inadvertent release.

Speaker:

But the sinister story obviously

Speaker:

is one that's a bioweapon. Yes.

Speaker:

The vulnerability that I mentioned, even in the US,

Speaker:

despite the constitutional protections and the bill arrives, the

Speaker:

state of emergency powers to do all sorts of

Speaker:

things that we are looking at today, prevent businesses

Speaker:

from opening and lockdowns and prevent movement of people,

Speaker:

lock up healthy people.

Speaker:

In fact, that had never been done

Speaker:

in human history before, except for those

Speaker:

isolated incidents that we spoke about.

Speaker:

Not so endemically.

Speaker:

Well, if you wanted to make a bio weapon or

Speaker:

you want to make a weapon to make the world

Speaker:

compliant to kind of a new world order, this is

Speaker:

the weapon one would think of because you can exploit

Speaker:

the rights given to the States under the emergency powers.

Speaker:

It will be that has happened.

Speaker:

It's possible it's become rational

Speaker:

to formulate conspiracy hypotheses.

Speaker:

So the term conspiracy theory used to be

Speaker:

used for a theory of a conspiracy.

Speaker:

And the theory ranged from highly

Speaker:

likely to mildly plausible to absurd.

Speaker:

The whole range. Right.

Speaker:

Whereas now it's become a demeaning term of some vehicles

Speaker:

saying, well, I know the Earth is flat or the

Speaker:

moon is made of cheese or some such wild thing.

Speaker:

There is a Santa Claus. Yes.

Speaker:

In fact, we are compelled, in fact, to

Speaker:

formulate the hypothesis, to make sense of the

Speaker:

world around us because we can see the

Speaker:

establishment, the media are suppressing every alternate explanation

Speaker:

of virtually anything and everything related to this,

Speaker:

especially related to the pandemic.

Speaker:

I'm sorry I interrupted you.

Speaker:

But let me ask you this.

Speaker:

Are you familiar with claws or Claus? Schultz.

Speaker:

Schultz. Schwarz.

Speaker:

You mean the great recent World

Speaker:

Economic Forum and the great recent. Yes.

Speaker:

I'm wondering if these things are related.

Speaker:

This virus is released and all of a sudden the west,

Speaker:

instead of standing by its principles, becomes lap dogs to this

Speaker:

30 year plan or 20 year plan of his.

Speaker:

And again, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but

Speaker:

on the scale of possible, probably certain.

Speaker:

It's possible.

Speaker:

It's entirely possible.

Speaker:

And I think it's entirely rational.

Speaker:

On the Savvy Street, we discussed that

Speaker:

actually video interview of David Harriman.

Speaker:

You obviously know of him.

Speaker:

I watched that interview. Yeah.

Speaker:

And we got a range of conspiracy.

Speaker:

We got a range of conspiracy hypotheses,

Speaker:

as we call them, to avoid the

Speaker:

term that's become so maligned conspiracy theory.

Speaker:

And also the fact that from a scientific standpoint of

Speaker:

theory is a much stronger body of interrelated data and

Speaker:

evidence that has filed up into a theory that sometimes

Speaker:

the theory is something like a fact, like theory of

Speaker:

gravity is still called the theory, but it's a fact.

Speaker:

The theory of evolution is a fact. Yes, true.

Speaker:

It's still called a theory where the

Speaker:

hypothesis is clearly a conjecture that is

Speaker:

put up for observation and discussion.

Speaker:

And ideally, even the proponent of that hypothesis

Speaker:

should be open to it being wrong.

Speaker:

But we haven't been able to examine

Speaker:

the origin of the virus, the outcome.

Speaker:

So it is entirely possible that it was released a

Speaker:

bio weapon with some aims, or it is also possible.

Speaker:

The second part is more than possible.

Speaker:

I mean, Schwab himself says so

Speaker:

that the pandemic is an opportunity.

Speaker:

So even if it wasn't in Burton released by the lab,

Speaker:

they've certainly taken advantage of it and that they more than

Speaker:

readily admit so in print on their own website. Yes.

Speaker:

And again, the other thing I wanted to

Speaker:

stress for many years, I've lamented what I

Speaker:

call the permanent bureaucracy, which exists to serve

Speaker:

itself and not answer to the people.

Speaker:

And I think the administrative state is

Speaker:

that is what the administrative state is.

Speaker:

It's this permanent bureaucracy that you

Speaker:

can't monolith or Leviathan that just

Speaker:

keeps growing and feeding itself.

Speaker:

What do you think of that?

Speaker:

It's becoming worldwide.

Speaker:

Notice we call it the deep straightened definition.

Speaker:

It includes academia, media, think tanks.

Speaker:

Philanthropy has gone in that direction.

Speaker:

And unfortunately, a lot of large corporates, a lot of

Speaker:

money is pouring in, even from corporates buying into the

Speaker:

whole climate scam and ID of other scams, because big

Speaker:

corporations are assisted by this crony face estate.

Speaker:

And that's where the philanthropy and big corporations

Speaker:

is where the money is coming from.

Speaker:

So we have this network, which is we call it

Speaker:

deep state, and it's controlling pretty much all the mainstream

Speaker:

media, maybe over 90% of academia, 90% of academia.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Over 90% of think tanks as well. Sure.

Speaker:

And these kind of NGO type organizations.

Speaker:

And they become so powerful.

Speaker:

I mean, to digress from Colbert, but staying

Speaker:

in Australia for a minute again, because we

Speaker:

said that would be our focus.

Speaker:

Okay, we had this interesting

Speaker:

thing happened here in 2009.

Speaker:

There was a gentleman by the name Tony Abbott.

Speaker:

He was a politician.

Speaker:

He was in regional Victoria.

Speaker:

And he said all this climate thing is absolute crap.

Speaker:

Those were the words.

Speaker:

He is absolute crap.

Speaker:

But in a private meeting some years

Speaker:

later, in 2013, he became Prime Minister.

Speaker:

And then all of a sudden, he was playing games.

Speaker:

He was dog whistling to his constituency.

Speaker:

But he could never confront the what you

Speaker:

would call climate alarmism or what Candace De

Speaker:

Russi in 2009 called climate Scientology.

Speaker:

He could not confront climate Scientologists

Speaker:

or the media supporting them directly.

Speaker:

Same thing happened.

Speaker:

A gentleman by the name Scott Morrison.

Speaker:

He was Treasurer in 2017, February 4.

Speaker:

And a half years ago, he bought

Speaker:

a lump of coal into Parliament.

Speaker:

He is not allowed to have a prompt,

Speaker:

but he nevertheless brought it and showed it.

Speaker:

And he said, don't be afraid, just call.

Speaker:

And he accused the opposition of colon

Speaker:

phobia, a pathological fear of coal.

Speaker:

That is beautiful speech.

Speaker:

But then when he becomes Prime

Speaker:

Minister, he became Prime Minister recently.

Speaker:

He went to Glasgow and once again what he

Speaker:

has done is played games and agreed to some

Speaker:

wishy washy targets instead of any head on confrontation.

Speaker:

So even Donald Trump wasn't a complete exception

Speaker:

because when he became President, he asked the

Speaker:

Department of Energy for a list of people

Speaker:

who attended the climate conferences, five star junkets.

Speaker:

So they refused.

Speaker:

The Department of Energy, the Department of Agriculture,

Speaker:

NASA, everybody worked in unison against Trump.

Speaker:

So yes, he pulled the US out of the

Speaker:

Paris Accord, but he didn't confront the scam head

Speaker:

on by saying this climate thing is a scam.

Speaker:

Climate alarmism is a scam.

Speaker:

And I am thinking the deep state is so powerful

Speaker:

and the politicians depend on campaign money to such a

Speaker:

large extent that within the party there is quite a

Speaker:

bit of revolt and especially in parliamentary democracies, if a

Speaker:

Prime Minister was to confront it, he would get a

Speaker:

revolt internally and he would be deposed by his own

Speaker:

party, which can happen.

Speaker:

And of course, even in the US, while the Republican

Speaker:

Party can't pose Trump for simply disagreeing with him on

Speaker:

policy matters, there is still a very strong influence that

Speaker:

the deep state has over what the President can do.

Speaker:

And then, of course, we now in the panic.

Speaker:

What happened was Trump refused to exercise some of

Speaker:

the powers he did have, but he could not

Speaker:

stop the respective States from exercising, which is the

Speaker:

floor we have in the model of that has

Speaker:

been exploited virtually perfectly by the great reset proponents.

Speaker:

If indeed it's deliberate or even if it is

Speaker:

an very vigorous opportunistic reaction to what has happened.

Speaker:

Be nice.

Speaker:

Like two points before we wrap up, we probably

Speaker:

will come back to, as I would call it,

Speaker:

environmentalists as the new religion here at the Secular

Speaker:

Foxhole and talk more about that and cover that.

Speaker:

And also, if you would like a cliffhanger for an upcoming

Speaker:

and returning guest, what do you see as a solution?

Speaker:

Or how could we spread the good

Speaker:

word about your work and so on?

Speaker:

What's going on down under thank you.

Speaker:

Well, this is a very difficult question because we

Speaker:

are stymied by law and we got to have

Speaker:

law to protect ourselves from law, or rather we

Speaker:

got to have an enshrined ride in the Constitution

Speaker:

to protect ourselves from lawmakers making new laws.

Speaker:

But even in the US, regulation circumvent that process so

Speaker:

we're not able to amend or in this time, in

Speaker:

our time, we're not able to amend Constitutions.

Speaker:

So what we have to do is wake people up

Speaker:

and hopefully that starts to spread the word and we

Speaker:

let the right sort of people into office.

Speaker:

But it's a long, hard struggle.

Speaker:

I can see that.

Speaker:

It's just definitely a long struggle.

Speaker:

So much is against us, unfortunately.

Speaker:

Thank you for the sentiment, Martin, but I

Speaker:

don't have any kind of magical solution other

Speaker:

than speak up while we can.

Speaker:

And as sort of media that are not major

Speaker:

media, we fly secular Foxhole and Savvy Street flies

Speaker:

well under the radar with those that become big,

Speaker:

like YouTube was alternate media when it first started.

Speaker:

Right now it's been co opted into the deep state.

Speaker:

So that would be the danger for media that become

Speaker:

bigger as to where the money is coming from to

Speaker:

make it bigger and how it's going to prevent itself

Speaker:

from being co opted into the deep state.

Speaker:

We have some ideas for Claire and myself.

Speaker:

I mean, we are not there yet because we have to

Speaker:

get the funds and get like a budget and support.

Speaker:

But for example, one alternative could be Rumble.

Speaker:

I've tested to upload one video where

Speaker:

took some time and so on.

Speaker:

But I'm looking at that Amy peak of

Speaker:

she recently did that with Blair and I.

Speaker:

We have this new segment, sometimes some good things, not

Speaker:

a good thing, and some ending with some good things.

Speaker:

And that's originated by Amy Pikov.

Speaker:

And the latest live streaming she had,

Speaker:

it was on a new segment, some

Speaker:

positive things about treatment against diabetes.

Speaker:

And then she said that it

Speaker:

was live streaming located on Rumble.

Speaker:

So that's something to look at for the future.

Speaker:

But if you want to do live stream,

Speaker:

you have to have a certain account and

Speaker:

then you have to have funds for that.

Speaker:

But I see if a market will work freely.

Speaker:

We will see alternative.

Speaker:

But it's good to, as you said, point out that

Speaker:

how some alternative or some startups is emerging or morphed

Speaker:

into this big tech that is not for free market.

Speaker:

It's something else.

Speaker:

And that's why all about covet things.

Speaker:

If you wanted to post something on Facebook and

Speaker:

they say, are you really sure that you want

Speaker:

to post this kind of information with post?

Speaker:

This is starting getting a bit scary.

Speaker:

It's this big brother watching you over,

Speaker:

but then you could vote with your

Speaker:

wallet pocketbook and go somewhere, somewhere elsewhere.

Speaker:

Rumble and Odyssey are, from what I've heard,

Speaker:

probably the freest of the new competitors to

Speaker:

YouTube and posting the most alternate narrative.

Speaker:

I think that's true, yes.

Speaker:

And that's why we continue with our podcast.

Speaker:

We could be corrected and we could be

Speaker:

having a discourse and debate and discussion.

Speaker:

But I like it's pretty hard.

Speaker:

Maybe you shouldn't say that out loud, but it's pretty

Speaker:

hard to close down an RSS feed, you could be

Speaker:

deplatformed, you could be stopped or picked out.

Speaker:

But still, even real conspiracy fears is still

Speaker:

out there because they have a saver RSS

Speaker:

feed and I don't like them.

Speaker:

But I'm for the freedom of expression also.

Speaker:

But they have to take the consequences of what

Speaker:

we are spreading and be responsible for that.

Speaker:

But if you have an RSS feed

Speaker:

and you could protect it pretty easily.

Speaker:

And what we want to do in the

Speaker:

future is to get support by fellow podcasters

Speaker:

and listeners, by something called Podcasting 20 and

Speaker:

that's initiative from folks at Podcast Index.org.

Speaker:

And there is something called Satoshi, and

Speaker:

that's like 100 million parts of Bitcoin.

Speaker:

So it's a small amount, but then you

Speaker:

could stream Satoshi's through by listening to podcasts

Speaker:

if you use a Podcasting 20 application.

Speaker:

So there I see it.

Speaker:

But right now I think it's a couple

Speaker:

of thousands of podcasters of like 4 million

Speaker:

podcasts all over the world using this.

Speaker:

But you could look in the Crystal ball.

Speaker:

So in ten years time, when we talk again, fantastic.

Speaker:

When you mentioned it yourself, I was about to call it

Speaker:

the Bitcoin of sound or the Bitcoin of free expression.

Speaker:

Is sound preserved in

Speaker:

disaggregated leisure type entities.

Speaker:

You're calling podcasts to point out the

Speaker:

platform cannot be taken out, hopefully and

Speaker:

cannot be prevented from being listened to.

Speaker:

But one of the problems we've had is

Speaker:

even where people have been going back to

Speaker:

Pandemic have been protesting in Greece.

Speaker:

They recently passed a law making

Speaker:

vaccination compulsory for people about 60.

Speaker:

And they've been in Australia, the protests, we met violence

Speaker:

from the police, but where they weren't met with violence

Speaker:

from the police in France and Germany, the nation state

Speaker:

still went ahead as if the protest hadn't happened and

Speaker:

legislated the way they wanted to.

Speaker:

So despite the expression, the alternate media

Speaker:

is simply not large enough to sway

Speaker:

significant amount of opinion yet.

Speaker:

And hopefully we will be some days.

Speaker:

I know we will be.

Speaker:

I want to end on a positive note, though, if I may.

Speaker:

1 of my favorite movies of

Speaker:

all time came out of Australia.

Speaker:

It's called The Dish with Sam Neil.

Speaker:

All right. I must have been a fan.

Speaker:

I haven't seen it, but gone.

Speaker:

It takes place in the 1960s when the United States

Speaker:

put a satellite dish for NASA in this big sheep

Speaker:

field in the middle of some Prairieland in Australia.

Speaker:

And it's about the three guys that made

Speaker:

this satellite station and the town around it.

Speaker:

And it's a classic, feel good, wonderful film.

Speaker:

So I highly recommend that to you and to our listeners.

Speaker:

Anyway, we've been talking to Venice ColeHead Carr, who is

Speaker:

always welcome to come to the show, and we thank

Speaker:

him again for Manning the Foxhole with us today.

Speaker:

Thank you for having me again. Yes.

Speaker:

If you have any ending note or if you want

Speaker:

to say where the listener could find you in cyberspace.

Speaker:

You're more welcome. Thank you. Well, yeah.

Speaker:

I hope listeners fund use the secular foxhole

Speaker:

podcast and us savvy street by visiting our

Speaker:

websites and at least keeping us alive.

Speaker:

And ideally they were looking for major sponsors

Speaker:

who take us to the next step where

Speaker:

it's to fly under the radar.

Speaker:

But we'll move it bigger.

Speaker:

We dropped a few bombs by far.

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

Throwing stones.

Speaker:

And then hopefully we get some machine

Speaker:

guns and then maybe we fly.

Speaker:

We're not afraid to speak truth to power but

Speaker:

we need a bigger platform, that's for sure.

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

And as Blair knows without saying anything now

Speaker:

I have some ideas and I've been talking

Speaker:

with some interesting entrepreneurs about that so we

Speaker:

will probably come back to that Vinay. Very good.

Speaker:

Thank you. All right, sir.

Speaker:

That's a wrap, I believe.

Speaker:

Yes, it is. All right.

The Secular Foxhole
Separation of Religion and State
As a freethinker, are you looking through binoculars out at the world in the safety of a foxhole? Get fuel for your soul and intellectual ammunition by listening to The Secular Foxhole podcast, in order to fight for the separation of religion and state.

Blair chose this name (The Secular Foxhole) to dispute the myth that there are no atheists in foxholes, but also as a place to share ideas and defend Free Speech. The co-hosts both advocate the separation of Church and State, but also Economics and State. In short, Liberalism, Individualism, and Capitalism.
