Visit peakprosperity.com to watch the video and to find other insightful content such as articles, discussion forums, and exclusive subscriber-only content. Hey everybody, welcome to this Signal Hour. I am Chris Martinson, one of your hosts. I'm the co-host of this along with Evie. Hello, good afternoon. Good to be here. They're right there, along with all of us. So we're going to be talking about a lot of things today. Remember the signal hour is where we're trying to find the signal within the signal. And for us, that's been X a lot lately. But of course, the mainstream media provides a very useful anti-. Often they are discussing something in a way that tells us that it's absolutely not the thing that we should be looking at and or they're just framing it wrong.

Boy, do we have a doozy for you on that front today. And it's about pharma, pharmaceuticals, vaccines. What an astonishing absolute travesty of logic and justice and of course, humanity. We're going to be discussing that. So with that. Glad you could be here with us. I appreciate that everybody takes time away from their day. To be here and join us, I know that you all probably have very busy lives like you do and. This is an end, but we appreciate that we get to be part of your day. And the more of us there are, I think the stronger we are. So I'm really grateful for all the people I've met

through this channel and because of Peak Prosperity, the company that we run. We have a website if you're ever interested in hearing more about us and the work we do in the world, peakprosperity.com. You can come and join the discussion there. And behind the paywall, we have so many more things going on, tons and tons of forums and places where you can discuss whatever's on your mind and in your heart with other intellectual, well-intentioned, and very bright people there who have common sense.

So indeed, and you know what we're gonna have to do today EV We're gonna have to get the data paddle back out the data paddle That was that's I'm sure absolutely true so now it is Configured for a one-man show. Okay show. So here's where we're Remember for peak prosperity members. this is actually signal two hours. It goes... one goes into the other so the public signal hour out here with everybody in the public side and of course if you're at peak prosperity we carry on. This is what's

gonna be in part two. We have to talk about Trump's economy. Early stage says it's winning. That's gonna drive a lot of people nuts. BD and I have been going into building local resilience. We're going to talk about what we're doing here on our own homestead and how we're building resilience and also locally. And it looks like Alberta, Canada is heading towards a divorce. So the first national divorce, surprisingly not in the United States, but actually in Canada, I think.

Oh yeah. Yeah. What do you see? What do you see? What I've, what I've Oh yeah? Yeah. What do you see? What do you see? What I've... Yeah, yeah and you're right. It's been... I enjoy the data paddle. It's been a while. Somebody has my back. Update that title slide. Evie is co-host. Title slide, I know. Are you listening everybody? Let's get this going All right, so here's where I want to start today.

Sure. Actually, Evie, there was an attempted coup. And this has all been revealed. I don't know why there haven't been arrests. I don't know what's going on. What? Just recently? A new one?

Well, this is related back to the original. How many Trump impeachments have there been? This is related to the first Trump impeachment, okay? And so this has been out for a while. People have been following it, know this is out for a while, but suddenly it's back up and out again. And this time with Michael Schellenberger doing,

he's a great reporter doing some really good reporting here with Jesse Waters on Fox. You have this new piece on Substack that the USAID and the CIA helped orchestrate Trump's impeachment? Yeah, I mean, Jesse, it's a crazy story. I mean, you might forget that, you know, the House of Representatives impeached President Trump in December of 2019. Many people may not remember that it was a CIA analyst who was left over from the Obama White House who wrote the memo that led to the impeachment. It was all based on hearsay.

The person had not actually been in the room with Trump. Nonetheless, this memo that he wrote relied heavily on a report done by an organization funded by USAID. In fact, its initial founding funding, now mean, now it's tens of millions of dollars had gone into this group called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. Okay. So there's USAID funded principally, as we now know, by Democrats as sort of a make work grifty NGO operation, right? Right. Funds tens of millions into this criminal investigating crimes thing. They write this completely fake report about Trump, who then a CIA analyst

happens to overhear somebody talking about it in the White House of pure hearsay reports that out. Ooh. Through the CIA, who then feeds it over to Adam Schiff and we get to a an indictment you know the Trump the first Trump impeachment this is this is what it looks like in a banana Republic this is full-on full stop third world just lawfare remember all those people screaming oh my god Trump's gonna weaponize lawfare this this is this is this is what it actually is. This is it right here. This is it. Yep. This is it. Oh my gosh. A name that's not very memorable OCCRP

but it was basically created as an extension of the State Department and then of USAID and as you know, Jesse, this is very serious to be involved in an effort to do regime change at home as we've been discovering as the files have come out with what Elon Musk has been doing, we know that USAID was really about regime change abroad. It was a kind of public facing part, regime change operation like CIA, but not covert, more overt.

Well, now you see a similar blowback, just like they did censorship abroad and brought censorship tools back home, they were doing this sort of thing abroad, creating a predicate essentially for Trump's impeachment. So I think it's just one of many revelations that we'll see coming out in the next few weeks. So USAID was involved in regime change abroad and here at home. Very interesting. USAID involved in regime change abroad and at home. That's what that's what just happened.

That's not supposed to happen. No, that makes that's frustrating. That's not right. Pretty much not right. So but remember this all the way back from 2019. Okay, we've known about this. Right. Kevin Shipp saying, Where is CIA Director Gina Haspel? A CIA analyst, Eric Chiara Mella,

I think. Any Italians can help me out here. Violated CIA regulations by using his position to engage in political operations against a sitting president. And Haspel knows Chiara Mella is not a legitimate whistleblower. Your move, Gina. Now, we should also point out here that Gina also sat on event 201. She's also known through hearsay. Again, I have no direct knowledge that she ran torture programs as well. So she's all around your deep state. You can tell her eyes are cold yeah this this is this is not a good person

not a good human at all um and so that's why really uh i did title this section the enemies within this is we have enemies within this is not a person who's working for the better interests of this country and it's people right you can yeah, that much is clear. You can get the sense of that. So then, yeah, go ahead and read that. Then I got a little video to play real quick. Sure. Brian Fraser says, John Ratcliffe, director of the Central Agency, has unequivocally confirmed that Senator Adam Schiff manipulated impeachment whistleblower Eric Chiaramella in an effort

to remove the sitting president from office. So this is a little wonky to listen into this because Radcliffe is very careful and he speaks very sort of lawyery terms but let's see if we can sort of listen through. I can tell you one thing that we've learned very clearly and that is that the inspector general for the intelligence community can provide no information about the contacts between the hip see majority and the whistleblower prior to his involvement. So the only way that we'll be able to get that information is from the hip see majority themselves. Um, they are fact witnesses in the same investigation that they are now running

nowhere else in the United States of America. Can you be both a fact witness and the prosecutor or investigation in anything much less an investigation to remove a president from office? It's entirely inappropriate and Chairman Schiff should be disqualified from running an investigation where his... All right, He says inappropriate. You say inappropriate. I say illegal. It's not just inappropriate. You know, you're not supposed to be judge, jury executioner. Right. But you're also not supposed to be chief prosecutor and witness at the same time. And he was coaching and manipulated the impeachment whistleblower who actually

didn't have anything to blow the whistle on because he had no direct report. The adhere say that allegedly he had heard. So this is just some guy who by the way went to Yale Eric Chiamilla And he's fully in the bed of the deep state and the whole DNC apparatus So yeah, this is not a whistleblower per se right but of all the whistleblowers who've ever been like we've had good whistleblowers Before in this country right so Edward Snowden fantastic revealed things true illegality of course now the deep state hates him wants him to come back and go to prison forever the good whistleblowers get attacked the bad whistleblowers nothing's happened to this Eric Chiramella guy

he's just floating around you know doing this thing doing his thing doing more of it probably but you can't be both the fact witness and the prosecutor. And we would call that inappropriate. It seems kind of obvious, doesn't it? It should. There he is. That's what he would look like if you saw a picture of an Eric Chiaramella. And by the way, Chad, I'm just going to say that name again, Eric Chiaramella,

because they go out of their way to not talk about him in the news. They call him a CIA whistleblower. He has a name, right? And by the way, he, um, his, this is his most recent bio that I could find at the Carnegie endowment for international peace. And they should put two quotes around the piece because Carnegie endowment works to whip up wars and create trouble. That's right. His work focuses on Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine and Russia? Of course it does. Of course it does.

Yale and then Harvard. I mean, talk about a double whammy. Absolutely unhireable as far as I'm concerned, but I'm not a deep state. Isn't that weird? It's like those, you know, Yale and Harvard used to be places of deep respect, you know, to be a scholar in one of those places.

And now it's like, oh, you've been through that kind of mind virus training. Like I'm all set. No, thank you. Yep. Um, yeah. Wow. I, I agree with this. I think that's probably what happened there.

He says color revolution held in the USA. Thanks USA ID. AKA CIA, AKA D clown world clown world totally no it is no that that's where we're at and so we just have to point these things out now the reason for pointing these things out all the time for me is because I'm just trying to help people orient to the idea that this whole thing is crumbling our entire experiment has been revealed to be a fraud. We're not the good guys. We're not necessarily the bad guys, but we've lost our way. We are no longer a shining light

on the hill, shining city on the hill, doing good things for the world. Right. A beacon of freedom and liberty. What did we see in the JFK papers? Not a lot about the JFK assassination, but we did find out the CIA was busy doing things like single-handedly deciding to attempt to start a nuclear war with China by blowing up its first nuclear power plant all on its own. It decided, you know, it'd be a good idea. We could use biological agents to destroy Vietnam's rice crops so we can starve the people because creating famine seems to serve our interests. Right. These are evil things. They are. Objectively. Of a rogue agency. Evil things. Like as a citizen

in the United States, I don't want to pay for that. I wouldn't vote for it. I wouldn't authorize it. I would say no bad idea. Find another way to achieve what you want in the world. I don't know. Talk to people, find out what they want, you know, find out what we want. It's called diplomacy negotiation. Right. Negotiation. That's been lost that word. Yeah. I think. Yeah. So anyway, one last time. Eric Chiramella. Eric Chiramella. Yeah, that one right there. This one? Yes. All right. I think Candace might have Candace Owens might have mentioned this as well. Viv says, everyone should read this book, Wall Street, the Nazis and the crimes of the deep state by David Hughes. It all really got rolling after World War Two. It's so disgusting. Well, it is a deeply corrupt system now at this point in time.

And there are some good books out there that give various perspectives about it. I would love to read that one. So thanks for that, Viv B. Now I want to turn to this thing. The farmachills just go nuts. So every so often they like get so wrapped around the axle that they just lose the plot.

And so here they've just gone completely nuts, but now we can see it for what it is. And this is really astonishing. So I consider the people who are pro-vaccine to be a religious order, because they operate with an article of faith. You should be able to scratch back to get to where they, like these, like aluminum as an adjuvant is safe and you start scratching it then they say well we all know because there are all these

studies and they also show it safe but they all cite the same study which is a 1996 study done in a few rats where they didn't give the aluminum intramuscularly they gave it intra-parentally so it's totally different absorption different excretion. By mouth it's protected. It's protected. Yeah you don't absorb it. No. But this is 100% absorption, this is like 0.3% and they point to that and even with that they had to throw some data out because it showed it wasn't totally safe. Right and that's it the whole thing is built on that. Thousands of papers reference this one

study in 26 rats and it's just stupid. And it's all predicated on that. I get what you mean about it being kind of an article of faith. You know, you have to, well, they say, we know they're, they're safe and effective. That's why it would be illegitimate to test them properly. Well, let's go into the story because this is, this is funky. Okay. We had two, three major newspapers. I got two of them here. The Washington post, RFK junior will order placebo testing for new vaccines. Alarming health experts. Alarming.

Alarming health experts. They're just alarmed. What else would they be? They're always alarmed. The potential change outlined in a statement would require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, sparking concerns among medical Oh no, placebo testing. You mean the thing that every other drug ever has to go through. If you can't beat the sugar pill, you're not actually a legit drug. You mean placebo testing. You mean the thing that all drugs go through. But we're talking about not just a drug, like a heart medication, you might take it and

if it doesn't work out, it gets excreted. We're talking about not just a drug, like a heart medication, you might take it. And if it doesn't work out, it gets excreted. We're talking about something that rewires your immune system, the most complicated system in your body. And that's the one that we've decided that one, maybe we should, no placebo testing for that one. It potentially changes your DNA too, depending on what happens. Now that we're giving these DNA contaminated shots, it does potentially. You know?

I mean, what so anyway just they're alone we could stop and say okay this is retarded and it's amazing by the way you see there 2,304 comments yeah it's like people are jazzed up about it yeah all right so yes so here we go you want me to read this whole thing? All right. Yeah Every every word is just sort of delicious. All right. All right. Let's go for it. The HHS statement raised Excuse me concerns among medical and public health experts who said the move could be a significant shift in how the country has ensured The safety of vaccines for decades. Okay, insured the safety, though. What do they mean by the significant shift in how we've insured?

I don't think they know what this word insured means. This word sounds kind of vague. I do not think it means what you think it means. The way you ensure the safety of something is you run safety tests against the placebo. Right. But they're like, but a significant shift in how we've ensured the safety, right? As well as cast doubt on vaccines that are safe, that are safe and effective and key to public health. Look at the assertions in there. They're like, you can feel like a three-year-old candy aisle here at the store. They're safe. They're effective. Key to public health. Right. These

are all assertions. And when you scratch it, all of these, they all fall apart very, very quickly. Yeah, I think you're right. The potential change comes as public trust in vaccines continues to decline amid a growing measles outbreak and worries over Kennedy's mixed messaging about immunizations. So whose worries? Which worries exactly? There are just these vague worries. We have these words. There are these worries out there, you know, amid a growing measles outbreak, when you put it in context, I didn't bring the clip in, but Kennedy put it in context. He's like, so we have like 390 cases right now in the US, same amount in Canada. And by the way, we have a million children right now

who are in metabolic distress. Who are obese. And or who have autism. Yeah. Right? Five, 390 cases, which by the way resolve, unless the child is literally treated with malpractice. Right.

They live. Nothing bad happens. Yeah, when I was born, those first few years, there were a couple million cases of measles every year. And all we ever got was like a, remember we showed the Brady Bunch episode, we're like, oh cool, mom, I got measles. I get to stay home for three days.

Like that's what it was when I was growing up. Now it's like, oh no, a mid-measles. There's the measles, a growing measles outbreak. And they just throw that out there. This is disgusting to me. That's fear porn right there. Anybody who's writing this, if you are the author of this, you're a journalist, you suck at your job and you should lose your job. And by the way, whatever education system you went to should be

dismantled because it effed up. Okay? This is not just a little bit wrong. This lacks so much context. You're like one of the cloud people floating around at a Grateful Dead show, you know, when they had them still back in the day. All right, I'll finish this. Medical and public health experts also expressed dismay that the testing change could require coronavirus vaccines and potentially others to undergo costly and in their view, unnecessary studies that would probably limit vaccine production and access and leave more Americans at risk of preventable disease. All right. So look at that. So this is just,

this is an astonishing word salad here that says nothing at all. Right. Isn't this insane? Suddenly they're worried about, Oh, it's costly. It could be costly testing. Suddenly we worry about costs. Where's the worry about the money that goes to Israel or Ukraine or into the F35 program? Or where's the money to help the people that are damaged from these vaccines because they weren't adequately studied in the first place? Where's that money?

Left and said, so that was the Washington Post. Same thing. This is in the Boston Globe again, but now when you see it in multiple outlets You know, this is a farma propaganda operation It's not it's not like suddenly all the journalists woke up and said, you know, we're gonna put not one not two not three But we're gonna they put four Journalists up against this right in the Boston Globe reruns it and then I saw all like there's been

Boston Globary runs it. And then I saw all like there's been dozens of people are tasked with writing these really important things because the experts are alarmed. Oh boy. So carrying on health and human services, secretary RFK junior intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, a move that the agency said will increase transparency. But that and this is the part to be highlighted that medical experts fear could limit access to vaccines and undermine the public's trust in immunization depending on its implementation. Depending on its implementation. I think actually it's depending on what it finds.

You know, it's going to increase transparency and people know if these things actually are safe or not. They could actually have proper informed consents, but we're worried that could undermine the public's trust. They're giving it away. They're telling you right up. We're worried that if we test these things, honestly, we're going to find stuff out that will make people legitimately question whether they want to take this thing into their body or not. Right. And you know what the problem with that is? It's not that they're going to become hesitant because they actually care about you. It's because they're going to lose money. That's what this all boils down to. The potential change outlined in a statement says all new vaccines will be required to undergo placebo testing, a procedure in which some people receive the vaccine and others

receive an inert substance such as a saline shot before the results are compared. Oh, oh, the world is ending. Be still my heart. This is come on. This is insane. Like literally they're going forward with this. This is what they're going with right now. It's unbelievable. This is insane. Like literally they're going forward with this. This is what they're going with right now

They're worried that that oh no, we're gonna we're gonna see some people will receive a placebo and this is really gonna upend how we do things So good radical departure from past practice. Yeah, I have to read this This is so good in yellow. Okay. Yeah get this one, but I have to get that one that other one Do you okay all new vaccines will undergo safety testing in placebo controlled trials prior to licensure a radical departure from past practices It's a radical give me a little radical no, I mean that it's just they're throwing themselves under the bus It's like oh my gosh. How could they ask us to under to do safety testing? Like, this is just unbelievable. HHS said, Yeah, this is radical. It's radical. This is what RFK said he was going to bring. And by the way, that's exactly what

I voted for that right there. 100% Yes, we just want the data that this was Kennedy's thing the whole time was we're just going to get the data. Yeah. And they're like, Oh, no, not the data. And he's like, Yeah, the data and like, Oh, but what about the science? He's like, we're actually going to do science, not the science, right? You know, your science, your science, our science, our democracy. Okay. Vaccines for new pathogens are often tested this way. But for well researched diseases such as measles and polio, public health experts say it makes

little sense to do that and can be unethical because the placebo group would not receive a known effective intervention. How do we know if you haven't tested it? How do you know? Because the sum total, so medicine's a little tricky this way. You might be able to give a shot and say, look, and by the way, they never, almost never actually test for outcomes in vaccines.

They test, they give them to you, and then they measure that you have antibodies, that it created an antibody response. And they say, well, since we know antibodies are part of the immune system, we're just gonna trust that that all worked out. But what you really would wanna do, widen the lens a tiny bit,

you give the shot and then you track and you say, on balance, did more kids live than die than we would have expected. And so it, they had the DTP vaccine in Africa under a certain formulation. And when they ran that next layer of tests, they discovered, Oh no, many more. People were dying. Kids were dying than expected. So they had to pull it, but not before Parents had to notice lots of kids died and there was a big brouhaha and that was a whole gates funded fiasco But then you might widen out one layer further

Mm-hmm and say Over the course of a person's life on balance Is that really helping or not or over the course of five years or ten years? Right because it turns out that when you get exposed to measles, your body sees that it's a known thing in our long evolutionary cycle and your body really dials up your immune system. So people who've had measles tend to have a lower future rate of things like cancer because cancer of course requires us to balance of the immune system.

Right. So if you say that on balance, like, oh, but they just, that's why they narrow the window down. Oh, look, they have measles antibodies. That's that's what we're after. And the truth is, that that you might have gotten that but then more people die of cancer. So on balance, you know, to answer those questions, you have to be curious, you have to track people for longer than like five minutes. Yeah. You know, but Kennedy said some stuff truthfully that was totally unforgivable. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Yeah. Kennedy has long disparaged vaccines, said they are not adequately safety tested and previously called for placebo testing for vaccines that are approved for use. Secretary Kennedy is not anti vaccine. He. He is pro-safety, pro-transparency, and pro-accountability." The CAD. HHS said in a statement. That's terrible. How can we live in a world where somebody's pro-safety, transparency, and accountability? That's

unacceptable. But look at this. Look at the language. So this is propaganda speak 101. Has long disparaged. Now you might disparage a cheating spouse. You might disparage a hated neighbor. You don't disparage a vaccine by saying, well, we haven't tested it for safety. That isn't disparagement. That's not. But this is framing words here.

This is propaganda 101. All right. So here we go, Harry on. Oh no, more. The HHS statement raised concerns among medical and public health experts who said the move could be a significant shift in how the country has ensured the safety of vaccines for decades, as well as cast doubt on vaccines

that are safe, effective, and key to public health. They lifted that same sentence from the other article, so there's a little borrowing going on here. Go to the next yellow one. Medical and public health experts also expressed dismay that the testing could change, testing change could require coronavirus vaccines, potentially others, to undergo costly and in their view unnecessary studies that would probably limit vaccine production and access blah blah blah you are watching the gradual dissolution of the vaccine infrastructure in this country said Paul Offit. Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa the vaccine infrastructure yeah what is that what is

that a high-speed rail system The vaccine infrastructure. That's weird. Oh no, the gradual dissolution of the vaccine infrastructure. The goal he thinks is to make vaccines less available and less affordable. Yeah, that's, that's what Kennedy said. That's the goal. So he's going to assign a motive to this. So Kennedy has just said, listen, we're going to test these things against placebos, let the chips fall where they may. Yep.

Which is fair. I think that's fair. Dr. Paul Offit, of course he is, things against placebos. Let the chips fall where they may. Yep, which is fair I think that's fair. Dr. Paul off it. Of course. He is he is actually the dr. Mangley of our time Oh, he's one of the worst of the worst This gentleman is gonna burn in hell 30 times over as far as I'm concerned But this is the banality of evil that's as Hannah Arendt would say that's what an evil guy looks like and you're like He looks kind of he looks normal. He looks very unthreatening and he comes across very unthreatening. But he is. Yeah, he's he's he's just not he's terrible guy.

Horrible human being. Look, so Kennedy said suggested that big pharma influences vaccine policy. And look what he says there. There's not a single shred of evidence showing that is true. Not a single shred. There's about 3 billion shreds. Oh my goodness.

Technically, I'm right. Anyway. Wow. OK. So lastly, except for the COVID vaccine, none of the vaccines on the CDC's childhood recommended schedule was tested against an inert placebo, meaning we know very little about the actual risk profiles of these products. So consider that none, none have been tested on the vaccine schedule for children.

I can't believe I gave any of those to my children. I know I knowing what I know now I'd be like, you know, I'd say, show me all the dying Amish kids, you know, and I'd be like mm-hmm you know I'd say show me all the dying Amish kids you know and they'd be like oh we don't want you looking at them. Oh they're the healthiest kids ever. They're way healthier than our kids. But it's not the vaccine say the say the religious nuts but no those are safe in effect they're like you can hear it so here's the rule when you're talking data with somebody they might get passionate but they don't become a rational illog, when you're talking data with somebody they might get passionate but they don't become irrational, illogical. When you're talking belief systems with people they get emotional very quickly and there's

usually no logic under that because it's an article of faith and I get that. You can hold things in faith that's fine but you should admit that right? Right. My religious views are articles of faith for me. Right. And that's okay so I can hold them as articles of faith. That's true. It actually does kind of fall into that category, right? Because you're believing in something you don't, you can't see and you can't test and you actually don't really fully understand. Well, you have no data for it. So you have nothing, you have nothing to suggest that it's true. Vaccines are like that in this case. Just Speaking of the banality of evil, one more. All right. Sean O'Leary, going against the science,

vaccine and public health experts said the statement from HHS is a combination of misinformation and exaggeration or misrepresentation of scientific studies. And you got to qualify that. When you say it's a blanket, blanket, this thing is a combination of misinformation Exaggeration or misrepresentation of scientific studies which scientific studies name one. That's right and explain how right? Oh, no They're wrong. Here are the five studies where they tested these childhood vaccines on a long-term basis or even any basis against an inert placebo

This is lazy thinking and lazier journalism as far as I'm concerned It totally is. And by the way, I hold these people in contempt for being this bad at their jobs. This would be like, if you could be a pilot who crashed planes routinely into mountains and somehow survived, that's the equivalent of these folks. There it is. Exactly. Quote, to make a blanket statement like that, I think that would go against the science,

said Sean O'Leary, a pediatric infectious disease physician and chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases. It bears pointing out that the American Academy of Pediatrics is also in support of gender affirming care and great mutilating children and yeah giving kids ADHD meds and all the rest. Whatever it is if there's anything that they can promote that actually when you peel it back is just another way for pharma to sell more drugs on a lifetime basis to chronically destroy an ill children. Yep. That's what you get but anyway I love how he was kind enough to say I think that would go against the science. So you

see how I've spelled the science up top there. Yes. The science is like going against the science. We have to protect the science so that we can defend our democracy. It really is coming down to that, isn't it? That is what this whole thing is. It's really that bad. Okay. Wow. Now we're going to turn to Jeff Childers. So Jeff Childers, I love how this guy writes. Anybody, if you're not watching, reading him on Substack, he puts out a daily, literally daily, it is such good writing. I really love this. So he puts out this one on Thursday of this week, May 1st, today being May 2nd.

And so I love how he framed this. He said, yesterday, the Boston Globe ran a story headline, which we've just been talking about, R.F.K. Jr. will order placebo testing for new vaccines. Alarming the health experts. What would we do without alarmed health experts? He asks, is there any other kind? Anyway, not only was the Globe's article

another fine example of journalistic malpractice, but for careful readers, it accidentally cut the vaccine industrial complexes femoral artery. Oopsie. Oopsie. I hate when that happens so you know he quotes the same thing we did but he said the effort the experts offered three basic arguments first they argued it's unethical to withhold a known vaccine

from people who need protection and they always offer kids and measles that's their that's their go-to kids and measles second they said placebo that's their go to kids and measles. Second, they said placebo controlled trials are expensive, take longer than antibody trials, potentially showing vaccines time to slowing vaccines time to market. And third, they unironically argued some drugs might not make it. And that my friends is the point. Michael Ulster home, another banality of evil kind of guy of the university of Minnesota, a guy, an expert on Biden's transition team said, the change threatened the existence of coronavirus vaccines. And Jeff writes,

I'm not sure Ulsterholm realized what he was admitting there. If COVID jabs can't survive a placebo controlled trial, then they shouldn't be sold. That's just common sense. That's right. Common sense.'s just common sense that's right common sense it's common sense common sense but this is the most illogical thing they're saying look we already know they work so there's no need to test them you're saying well we'd like to test them anyway they're like well no because that might harm people's desire to take them right which is an admission that we

might find things by testing them that violate invalidate your first decision which is they're safe proven safe right. Or that they might not make it. I mean, it's just ridiculous. Anyway, they're freaking out. And as they should. And of course, the media is freaking out because the media gets huge pharma bucks. And of course, that's the point of pharma doesn't advertise on TV and in the print so that you read about some crazy psoriasis medicine and demand it from your doctor the doctor's already bought for but paid for they're gonna give it to you anyway they do that so that the newspapers won't write articles critical of them because they don't want

to lose all those tasty advertising dollars that's it the whole thing it just reveals that we are a nation of by and for money. Mm hmm. Amen. There it is. Sadly, there it is. I think that's right. Um, big, big, big stuff came out this week, too. This was kind of fun. I call it China's China's syndrome. So so listen to this. This is pretty extraordinary. So Tulsi Gabbard on with Megyn Kelly just came out the other day. To see but haven't COVID and its origins. Sure you saw that just before we sat down tonight, the Chinese State Council Information Office, I don't even want to know what that is, but it sounds bad. They have determined that COVID came from us, that it's more likely

than not that COVID originated in the United States and not in China. I'm wondering whether you have any dispute with that based on what you've seen over here. The intelligence community has been responsible for trying to figure out in part how this thing started. All right. So so China says, no, you guys made it right. And of course, the only thing you can say is no way Right. That should be the no No, no, I always say when I so let's see. Let's see how Tulsi handles this So I created a

Kind of a special teams group the the Directors Initiative Group that is focused on investigating a number of the president's top priorities and the things that the American people really deserve and want to know the truth about. The origins of COVID-19 is one of them. So they're actively working on that. A lot of the work that's been done is on covid.gov. Have you had a chance to look?

Oh, you changed, Trump changed it. It's quite a transformation of the website for anybody watching. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's the annoying website to which YouTube and also social media used to. So she asked her to our question. China says we created COVID and Tulsi says we're looking into that. Yeah. She didn't say no. She didn't say no. That's a huge, that's a seismic shift in this story. Okay. Now I had to, so I was curious. I'm like, well, what, what is that? What is that thing they were referring to?

So I found it, of course, you know, me, there's the P the state council information office and I skipped a whole bunch, but, but this April 30th It's released from China, right? It's the State Council information office wherever that is of the People's Republic of China Yeah, and and they had a bunch of we're gonna go through some of the earlier sections, but you get to section four Okay, and and look at look at that right there. All right Numerous studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 originated outside China.

Oops. Okay. So is this could be part of trade negotiations? We don't know, right? Or, or they just don't want to be fingered with this whole thing. But yeah, but if we remember back to COVID, like it, it allegedly erupted in China, that's where we first noticed it. But you'll see there's some data presented here that maybe that's not true. But we went with this whole

and Trump at the time, this is the China virus, right, and all that. But the WHO, not TO, HO, refused to stop flights from China even though we knew there was some spread there and all of this and that. And so the whole story is it came from China and you know then you have to argue was it a lab leak or was it a natural origin, did a penguin get an orgy with a bat you know and all that and then this kind of flips all that on the head so we're gonna have this different conversation which is this numerous studies have shown that originated outside China so that's what they're leading with here and then they

go on to say from May to October 2019 Virginia reported 19 respiratory disease outbreaks, a significant increase from the 13 and 15 outbreaks recorded during the same period in the previous two years. Laboratory tests were unable to identify the causes of some cases. In July 2019, two communities in Northern Virginia reported outbreaks of pneumonia with unknown causes, which local media suspected to be a mystery virus. A total of 54 people exhibited symptoms such as fever, coughing, feebleness, resulting in two deaths. That same month, the Fort Detrick Biological Laboratory, located just one hour's drive

from the affected area, was suddenly shut down. Whoops! There it is. So China's throwing it back and saying, well, you guys are doing this stuff too. They're all still actually avoiding the thing, which is actually, look, China was collaborating with the United States. It was both of us, right? It was Ralph Baric out of UNC and their whole coronavirus lab thing there. It was NIH, it was Fauci funneling money. There was some Canadian people in on this whole thing. Anyway, that was true and it was true that they were working on it over there. So, but they're starting to lay the case here of saying, well, the official story is it broke out in

December of 2019 in a wet market in China, but they're gonna present evidence here that says, well, wait a minute, from May to October of 2019 in a wet market in China, but they're gonna present evidence here that says, wait a minute, from May to October of 2019, you had some weird respiratory things going on over here. All right, this is just a crazy question, but do you think that they're just mad, like based on when this was published, are they just mad about other things going on, like the tariffs and this and that? Yeah, that's how I interpret this. They're like, oh, we're not gonna keep, like if it is a secret to be kept they're like okay yeah that's it well done yeah so so there's a lot of truth to be revealed here I want to remember ever since I found out that China was lying to us

so comprehensively about COVID back remember the people falling over in the streets and shaking in their chairs and all that stuff terrifying yeah turned out that was just a bunch of junk, right? So everything from China is on double secret probation with me right now. So let's read it with that lens. But I think this is telling us some stuff that's kind of interesting. Yeah. Including this. Including this. Failure to provide a timely and effective response to COVID-19 is the title of this. Um, in January, 2020, the U S was aware that an epidemic of, of a novel coronavirus was spreading quickly within its borders, choosing to downplay the severity of the epidemic. The U S government on multiple occasions compared COVID-19 to the flu,

saying that it would disappear automatically one day. That was Trump. Trump said that he's like, it'll be here and then it'll go. Yeah, I remember that. Right. Um, but yeah, remember there was the flu, bro. Yeah, it's just the flu. It's the flu. So it was. So it's true. We downplayed the whole severity of that thing. But then that's when you were fighting to get people to pay attention. Yeah. And that's when Wikipedia took my page down because I was saying, no, it's not the flu. But anyway, the flu but anyway and when it says it also accused the who of overestimating its fatality rate it's talking about the government of the time which is Trump's government right right that's right so

here it is is beating up on Trump so again tariffs they're unhappy with Trump so clearly negative on Trump look the government said it would disappear one day and look at that last part in yellow right down there. Right. It also accused the WHO of overestimating its fatality rate in advocating the use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin as wonder drugs without solid scientific evidence. This led to drug abuse and delayed the proper treatment of patients. Alright this is this is crazy. This is crazy time right here. Right. Here They're just trying to dunk on Trump. Right. But there's another thing that's happening here.

And it gets super awkward when we get into this part of this. They're telling the story. Mm hmm. OK. All right. Hold on to your hats, I guess. After the Democratic Party came to power, the US government adjusted its pandemic response policies. However, a political pandemic of partisanship over life was spreading. Partisanship over life. I had not heard that before.

Some politicians from the defeated Republican Party began to encourage and spread vaccine conspiracy theories, inciting resistance to and skepticism about vaccines among the public. Their manipulation of public sentiment severely weakened the country's pandemic prevention and control. In June 2022, when Omicron variant reached its infection peak, only 67.2% of the U.S US population were fully vaccinated with two doses ranking last among the G7 countries and 59th globally. Yeah. Addressing the malfunctioning US government response in the early stages of the pandemic,

one American economist commented that from the moment the pandemic was first identified, the US president and his team had downplayed the crisis and ignored basic and widely known public health guidelines. He urged the U.S. government to examine the available data, identify the failures, and call out its relentless misinformation. I would just like to put on the record that I am not that American economist and I would be deeply embarrassed if it turned out that my my statements were being used by the Chinese Communist Party as an example of the proper things to say but see what they're saying they're very clearly saying oh look the Democrats did a good job now I find it super awkward because if I was the party that a communist party was like hey these guys are awesome These are the people you should be following.

I'd be like, Oh, that's kind of puts it in sharp relief. Doesn't it? Well, we've, we've had politicians on the left actually saying that they like the way that can or maybe it was Trudeau. Somebody was like, Oh yeah. Worshipping the way Canada did things and sort of getting off thinking about it. Authoritarian, right? So they love the authoritarian angle.

So an authoritarian government is saying Trump bad, Democrats good. If I'm the Democrats, it's time for a little soul searching about now. You know, if all of a sudden you wake up one day and Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy are saying, you're a good person, like you want to back up, maybe reevaluate what's going on. But by the way, so all this thing, oh no, the vaccine hesitancy and look there, these people weren't masking and staying six feet apart and but the vaccines you were only 67% vaccinated. That's terrible because as we all know, that led to terrible outcome. Oh, wait. Oh, reminder, vaccines were not correlated with better outcomes. Experts puzzled by why

Haiti has one of the lowest COVID-19 death rates in the world despite administering zero vaccine doses. We don't know. We don't know. Right? Yes. So, so this whole idea that vaccines were like, unequivocally good and led to great outcomes you as a scientist, this is science, you have to now you have to answer this question. Now you'd have to say, what happened here? Right? Were we were there were people actually

dying of COVID? And we were, or were we were misreporting them? Right? Like anybody who died, we're just going to be killing them when they went into the hospital with whatever the symptoms of this thing was? Or who knows, maybe being in an equatorial-ish place and getting lots of sun and vitamin D was the deciding factor that was more important than vaccines. But remember, these vaccine people are always like, you're confusing correlation with causation. Like, oh no, just because all those people didn't die while they were on ivermectin, you can't, that doesn't prove anything.

Then they're like, Oh yeah, we have all these proofs that the vaccines work. And then you say, no, you don't. And they go, Oh, well, um, in this case, correlation does equal causation. Just not this one time, just not in this instance. I know that it's just totally illogical. It's crazy. It is crazy. Um, just read the part in yellow.

biological is crazy. It is crazy. Just read the part in yellow. Sure. To this end, some politicians refused to wear masks in public. They were among the first to defy pandemic control protocols and undermine sensible precautions such as mask wearing and social distancing by portraying them as matters of individual choice. This further desynchronized the pandemic prevention and control efforts of the U.S. All right. So but this is China like sticking to their they're literally channeling what I would call Democrat talking points at this time. Right. They're in Clinton. They're in Obama. Like the only place you will see a lot of people wearing masks is at a progressive rally. You won't see them at a Trump rally for instance. Okay, so it's it's a very partisan issue It's become partisan and they're still talking about masking and social distancing both of which have been disproven

Scientifically, there's no scientific basis for either of those right at this point. You're this virus Yeah, you're oh, there's some mental illness things that mask map into that, but not science. Yeah. Yes. Okay, fine. Now, coming in for a little bad up, Jay Bhattacharya, who you and I have met a few times. So this is this just came out and there's a little, this is a slightly different flavor than what we heard from Tulsi. Dr. Bhattacharya, you know, you were one of the leading voices during COVID of sanity in the United

States. Your reaction to China's desperate spin. It's shocking, Laura. I mean, I guess what can you do? What happened was that the Chinese lab in Wuhan conducted some mad science experiments, unfortunately, partly funded by the American government, in fact, by the agency that cannot currently lead. And that experiment went astray.

It leaked and caused the havoc that we faced for years. And for China to now turn around and say, well, the US is to blame, and that, well, I mean, it's ridiculous ridiculous it's absolutely ridiculous the Chinese were responsible for allowing these experiments to happen in a low-security lab it leaked they covered it up and that's just a fact okay so that's interesting to me you know but look at look at what he just said he said unequivocally it came from their lab the lab leak argument is now over

right I was right they were wrong right right all those mean girl virologist Angie Rasmussen horrible person talking to you yep Christian Anderson Ralph Baric Drosten Marin Koopman etc all you all you losers you're wrong and you knew it all the time. And of course, that's why I really despise these people is because they knew that this had to have come from a lab. And then they spent every ounce of their authority attempting to pretend that that wasn't the case.

So that was just awful. But we did also, the United States had a hand in this. We funded this and by the way, the name that needs to keep coming up and this is Ralph Baric. He is the godfather of the whole coronavirus manipulation scheme. He transferred that technology to the Bat Lady over there in Wuhan China. This was a collaborative effort between these two. We have to keep that in sight.

Yes that's such a good point. There was a good comment up here by TB, I think it was, if you go up a tiny bit, right there at the top. Yes. This one? Yes. TB says, it was a horrible time for this planet. Not only the needless deaths, we are all mentally scarred from the era. I will never forget people wanting to round up unvaxxed. You and me both. Never. Thanks for the comments. And by the way it turns out that that horse paste you can rub it topically on too. It works really well against certain types of rosacea acne polycystic acne and rosacea, sorry rosacea and that. It's skin conditions. It's amazing and, it's amazing.

And there's some evidence that people have been using it, neither suggesting you should or shouldn't, have been using it in cases of skin cancers. So just saying there's lots coming out about that. And if we had honest science, we would already know about that. And, but back to that part, Evie, so this is pretty interesting.

Do you remember, so that first part this is pretty interesting. Do you remember? So that first part up top there in 2019. Remember this? I remember this, but I forgot about it. A number of US states reported mysterious e-cigarette or vaping lung injury cases. Oh, yeah. The popcorn lung, the popcorn lung. Is that that just came and went? We never talked about it ever again. It just came like some people mysteriously came down with they thought it was vaping.

But I'm like, Oh, what was that? Maybe? Hmm. Anyway, 2019 a number of you can you go to the second one? Sorry, excuse me. The US CDC data indicates the first confirmed COVID-19 case in Florida was on March 1st, 2020. However, according to the data on 171 COVID-19 patients published on the Florida Department of Health website, the earliest confirmed cases were in January of 2020. Well, hold on. That's a big difference. That's impossible, right? Because as they say here, they had no

international travel history, but the official story of the first case in the United States is that this guy in Seattle, right? That had just traveled back over. Yeah, I remember that. Yep. And that was when it all started also in January of 2020. But how did we have cases in Florida among people who did? I mean, these seem to be confirmed cases.

So China's saying, well, hold up. Now this could easily be that what we really have to talk about is that it didn't escape in January, but possibly in August of 2019. And then it would have had more time to travel around the world and spread. And by the way, because there were those military exercises, right? In October, there were things that were going on that I remember hearing that people that were at those that attended those have been sick. So let's imagine it's escaped earlier. of course they know it because you know they're

all in communication with each other. The Mean Girls Virology Club has a set of bat phones and they talk to each other, right? And so is it then too conspiratorial to suggest that's why the Event 201 planning exercise decided for the first time to focus on a coronavirus outbreak? Right, and not something else. And not something else like Ebola. They'd always focused on these other things before like a H5N1 flu or Ebola or something. We'd never had a worldwide coronavirus outbreak but they made that the subject of their event 201 which Gina Haspel was at and George Gao the CDC equivalent in China

and all the representatives from pharma and the National Security Council and newspapers and things. At any rate, that last one down there. U.S. CDC study revealed that out of 7,389 serological survey samples collected from the nine states between December 13th 2019 and January 17th 2020. 106 were SARS-CoV-2 antibody positive. This suggests that the virus existed in the US before the official case was identified. All right. Well, so now we have questions. That's just science. So these parts I thought were legit because they actually point to stuff I can go find out and look at you can double check and make sure that's actual data

Yeah, but but the kovat story was BS from the get-go, right? Yeah, the whole oh we just found out about it in December and then then we got an email from China and 48 hours later We had our first vaccine like none of that happened. That was all no more bunk junkie bunk. So then this is the second part of what Jay said. I like this. That was a question mark in my mind that stuck with me ever since. Well, I mean, I think the American people deserve to know,

as you said, Laura. And President Trump, he made it one of his promises to the American people. He's delivering. We are going to make sure that the American people know the full story, at least his promises to the American people. He's delivering. We are going to make sure that the American people know the full story, at least as far as the American side is concerned of what led to the pandemic.

And let the chips fall where they may. What we need to do actually, and this is again, something that President Trump is going to deliver and is delivering, is that we have to never again act in the ways that we did in the run up to the pandemic in ways that put all of the world in danger of causing a pandemic by doing mad science experiments. So that's good.

So let the chips fall where they may. But he's saying we have to stop these mad experiments. Right, and he's in a position to do that now. So go Jay, I'm really hopeful, but we have been like, there's some dark forces on this planet, I think. Something dark. You have to be really dark to say, you know, it would be a good idea

Evie I'm gonna monkey with a virus in a way that will make it more pathogenic for humans I'm gonna kind of do it sloppy You know and so that it has a chance of escaping and when it comes out We won't have had millions and millions of years of cat and mouse evolutionary back and forth This is a brand new math problem that gets thrown into our genome that you suddenly have to like wrestle with, right? And we still don't know the impact of this. But lives were shortened, myocarditis, pericarditis, cancers, babies were lost, all sorts of stuff. But then the really dark part is finding out that the spike protein was specifically engineered to

be toxic and that that was then used in its full form and not one not two but every single vaccine candidate by the West yeah all decided magically to use the whole toxic spike protein yeah that's that is darkness you can't you can't square that up with anything. We take a quick peek at this week at peak. Our fat pipe, a lot of fun, lots of comments going on around that. Paul and I discussed talking about is there a coming recession? What does that actually look like? And of course, if you haven't seen the Adam Rosen schwag piece, that's really catching fire doing really well over on our peak financial investing channel on YouTube doing really well and then on

Wednesday evening I had another signal hour this is the Friday edition so we talked about this admission of chemtrails and geoengineering tariffs tinfoil but then we talked about some 9-eleven truths and the hard times that are coming. Yes. And by the way, we only have a couple minutes here, but we're going to do Roast of the Week. You ready? This is my fave. Let's go.

Do you remember who Jasmine Crockett is? She's the Congress lady. She's crazy. All right. She says, RFK Jr. says, fluoride makes you stupider. Interesting take from a man actively proving it's not the water, it's the policy. The same healthcare, it's headline chasing with a government badge. So this is my front, my most favorite community notes of all time. Unfortunately, fluoride does have long-term neurotoxic effects. Also, wig

glue, if used excessively, can also cause neurological problems, which is what likely led Congressman Jasmine Crockett to post this. No, that's not even real. It's totally hysterical. Is it really? Yeah. Anyway, I thought that was that was my my favorite. My favorite roast of the week there. Oh boy, Jasmine. Um, and and just to clear this up to, uh, remember we talked about stochastic terrorism, which is when a public official is using veiled but not that veiled kind of language like

sure would be a shame if something happened to Elon. Right? Yes. And in the hopes that one of their faithful hears that and does the right thing, creates violence. Okay, that's stochastic terrorism. Yep. Pritzker is the very unfortunate character who is the governor of the fine state of New Hampshire. Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for- He's speaking in New Hampshire, but he's going on-

Oh, okay. Disruption. But I am now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

He's calling for mass protests and destructions. Who in it stands up, of course? Nice to see you. Look at them popping up like workers. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot

box. So yeah, this is what stochastic terrorism looks like and sounds like when it's when it's getting practiced. I'm disappointed in people like that. I am too. I am too. So at this point, hey, Adios Amigos out here on the public side, we're going to be turning now to the private side

and we're going to be talking about three big things here. We've got the enemies within. We'll go a little further into that. Evie, you and I, we're going to be talking about how to be resilient in our own local efforts here. We've got to talk about what's going on in Canada. And then also there's some surprisingly strong economic data that just came out today. Okay. And Trump's crowing about it. So the question is, is that real? Is it Memorex? Sure, let's go there.

So with that, thank you very much for everybody else for being here on the Signal Hour with Evie and I and out here in the public side.
