You're The Voice | by Efrat Fenigson - Ep. 43: Ed Dowd - Great Reset, Great Awakening

Episode Date: September 22, 2024

My guest today is Ed Dowd, a human I am truly inspired by, who spoke out bravely since Covid started. Ed is a founding partner with Phinance Technologies and a financial analyst. He has worked on Wall Street most of his career for firms such as HSBC and others and most notably at BlackRock as a portfolio manager where he managed a $14 billion Growth equity portfolio for ten years. He’s the author of “Cause Unknown: The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 & 2022”.  In this conversation, we discuss the intricate connections between Covid19, the global economy, and the role of central banks. Ed shares insights on the financial implications of Covid, the wealth transfer that occurred, impacts on the middle class, and the challenges facing the banking sector. We expand on Ed’s C19 injections damage report, which includes injuries (adverse reactions), disabilities and deaths and their economic impacts. Ed bravely shares his personal awakening story - triggered by his physical and mental health conditions. We discuss life and thoughts as energy, the role of evil in today’s reality, and the importance of staying present and individual responsibility in these turbulent times. We touch on the tendency to rely on saviours, while neglecting personal empowerment, sovereignty and community building. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, subscribe and support my work.

My pain changed me or it could have killed me. I chose to let the pain transform me rather than make me a permanent lifelong victim on psychedelic drugs. I just got myself into supreme health and fitness. I recovered from my depression. I turned a physical wreck of a man that was 220 pounds into a healthy human being.

I was enjoying my life. And the thought of being now subjected to a needle against my wishes and then it hit me the evil that I was trying to ignore manifested into a jab this evil system manifested into a jab a poisonous jab and I knew it was poison I got on my knees and prayed to God please make me useful somehow so I prayed to God and then God made it happen Wow Hello, and welcome to You're the Voice.

I'm Efrat Fenningson, and today I have the great honor of chatting with someone who truly inspired me in recent years, Ed Dowd. Thanks for joining me, Ed. Oh, thanks for having me on. So good to be here. so ed i think that most of my audience knows you but for those who don't just a bit of background edward dowd is currently a founding partner with finance technologies with ph in the beginning he was working on wall street most of his career for firms such as hsbc and others and most notably at BlackRock as a portfolio manager, where he managed a 14 billion growth equity portfolio for 10 years. He's the author of Cause Unknown, The Epidemic of Sudden Death in 21 and 22.

So Ed, I've been following you since 2021, I think, and you were one of my regular sources for information during COVID. Your work is actually mentioned in my articles and my podcasts, And even in my lectures, I mentioned you in many ways, knowing that someone like you with your background was brave enough to risk many things by speaking up in one of the darkest periods of our time inspired me to keep speaking up myself, which eventually led me to quitting my old life and jobs and embark on a new path in service of humanity. so and not even to mention the fact that you know by following you you helped me unlock a new field that was completely out of my radar and that's finance finance and economy so I'll just start with a huge thank you and an acknowledgement from the bottom of my heart you have no idea or maybe you do i don't know the magnitude and the power of and the impact of your work on me and i'm sure on millions of other people so thank you for doing that and for being who you are thank you so much

that's that's such a nice introduction and i'm honored that i was able to touch you and and and and that was my goal was to show people with my skill set and my ability to explain things simply just what was really going on and using what Wall Street is known for, making money and following trends. And that's all I did is I applied that to the trend of excess debt, disease, disability, and showing what really went on. Yeah, which you did greatly and you continue doing. You know, we'll kick it off by that.

You identified early on in 2020 that the central bankers are in on COVID. And thanks to, I think it was a dismal interview of the president of St. Louis Federal Reserve that made you wake up and connect the dots. Some people are not really aware of the connection between COVID to the global economy. Could you recap it for us? Sure. So what a lot of people didn't know is that since the great financial crisis, it was a debt problem that we had. The banks had too much debt. We started to see the banks wobble and fail.

And from there, the governments of the world and the central banks of the world stepped in to save the system and went on what we now know as a 14-year global spending spree. And they solved the debt problem with more debt. So those of us in finance have been waiting for a long time to figure out when this new debt problem. So it went from corporations in the dot-com era to the banks in the great financial crisis, and now the bubble resides on the balance sheets of governments and central banks. So this is a multi-generational Ponzi scheme. That's the nature of fractional reserve banking. It's gotten so big that how does this unwind, and what will the policymakers do? So in 2019, the global economy was starting to slow down.

There were issues in the plumbing of Wall Street in the fall of 2019, and it wasn't really that well known, but we were starting to worry. And then magically and suddenly, COVID appears on the scene in the beginning of 2020 and then allowed the central banks and the governments of the world to spend and issue debt like crazy. And what took me off, COVID was a war. I want people to understand war is very inflationary. And for bankers need, it's called inflate or die.

Without inflation, bankers lose their shirts. Deflation is the opposite of inflation. And that is the death of a banker. It's just something that the system cannot have. And quite frankly, since 2000, the policymakers and money masters have been fighting inflation rate forces since the year 2000. So we've had a 24-year period of fight against deflation. So COVID was a war, and it was war-like spending.

It was the greatest increase in the money supply at the Federal Reserve ever, 65%. And when I say money supply increase, that means government spending as well. So people get confused. They print money, but that doesn't mean anything. The money has to be spent. So the government then spends that money and issues debt. It's a debt-based fiat system. So that's what happened.

We have warlike spending, and it saved the system. But the problem is that this Ponzi scheme is getting so big, it requires ever-increasing amounts of spending at quicker and quicker intervals. So we have a problem where we need accelerated spending from governments via the central banks, and we need to do it faster and faster. So the COVID war bought us four years, and now we face another global financial crisis. We can get into that later. But what tipped me off to the link between finance and COVID was what a central banker said on April 5th of 2020 on Meet the Press. They were interviewing James Bullard of the St. Louis Fed. They asked him, again, there were no vaccines yet, but they asked him, how are we going to open up the economy with this disease raging? How are we ever going to restart the economy? And he said, and I quote, well, we have new surveillance technologies and testing.

We could issue immunity badges and so people could go to work with immunity. So as soon as I heard that, I said, why is the Federal Reserve president talking about surveillance and immunity badges? And my brain immediately went to gold stars like in Nazi Germany. That's where my head went immediately. And that's when I knew a vaccine was coming and there would be vaccine passports. And I wrote a dystopian, I couched it in terms of a dystopian movie and I outlined what was going to happen. And exactly what I said would happen, happened basically two years later. And it wasn't hard to see what was coming when I blinked the fact that if there's going to be a global financial collapse and a reset and they need a new system,

You would need a system of control and surveillance. And so the vaccine was to introduce a vaccine passport, a digital ID, and then eventually CBDCs. So now, I don't know if they were involved in the planning of COVID, but they certainly took advantage of it. So I can't prove anything other than as soon as COVID hit, they went into action. What was interesting about that interview was there was a lot of pushback on Twitter and social media from that interview. They memory hold that interview and it disappeared from the Internet.

I eventually found it again. But that was a that was a floating. That was a trial balloon. And then it disappeared. And then the vaccines came out and then the propagandists and the fear pumping began. So the good news is vaccines, as awful as that time was, we pushed back and we won. And the vaccine was not only ineffective, it was one of the most unsafe vaccines we've ever seen.

family enjoy my five percent discount on treasure product by clicking the link in the show notes and using the code flat definitely thank you for that recap and there was some backtracking on stupid things they said, or maybe it's like the truth that they didn't mean to say. For example, Augustin Christans, the head of BIS, basically said, with CBDCs, we'll have the means to enforce surveillance technology on everyone. And then what you saw in lockstep almost is all central bankers trying to backstep from that statement saying, no, no, no, you'll have a certain amount of privacy and you'll still be able to use cash and they tried to like soften it but from time to time these guys just say the truth like you know trying to try trying to see what the response

would be so similarly to how covid was actually a way to cover the global debt issues in 2019 can it be that the wars we're seeing now with ukraine russia middle east perhaps china taiwan soon are really distractions to cover up the global debt problem but also maybe to cover up on covid damages yeah i think there's there's a lot of things going on so the ukraine war started right when it was becoming apparent uh the vaccine uh was uh not only deadly and ineffective but that there were massive amounts of injuries and immediately covid they the covid talks shut down. And then we started talking Ukraine, and that was the new thing. So now that war is not enough to re-inflate the system. That's a tiny, this is going to sound crazy, but the amount of

money we need to keep this thing going, that's just a little pinprick in the amount of money being spent. We would need to see a big war in the Mideast with Iran, and then maybe Taiwan. That might be enough to re-inflate the system, but the problem is, of course, to be millions of people dead. I think we have to think strategically what kind of excuses are they going to propose to get us into fear to sign off on another spending program. And I've been floating, jokingly, aliens, because the greatest amount of government spending that could be justified would be an alien invasion. Now, that's a joke, but if you ever see the aliens land, that's to cover up the global debt issue. Because, you know, until an alien sticks his fist through my heart, I won't believe it. Wow.

I say that jokingly, but not jokingly. yeah yeah i get you that would be big enough for them well yeah they would be the mother of all military spending yeah and that's they need that's what they need now because the u.s debt alone is 35 trillion now and with the printing every 100 days is another trillion right yeah every every 100 days is another trillion uh that was confirmed today by zero hedge what what people it's not the actual amount of debt right the debt needs constant flow it needs to flow and grow but it needs to grow at ever increasing rates and if you look at the growth of the u.s debt it's going like this so it needs it needs even more uh more and faster and we're going to reach a singularity

point where it just kind of collapses on itself yes so is it your view that the latest japanese This yen carry trade collapse that started a few weeks ago started like a countdown off the clock, I heard you say, towards busting the everything bubble. Can you take us through your macro prediction and of the debt crisis and where it's going? So, well, timing is always difficult. And as someone who lives in this world, I'd like to see the policymakers kick the can down the road yet again, because when this comes, it's going to be very chaotic and disruptive. And a lot of people who don't know what's going on are going to be in fear.

So I want this to be exposed, but I also don't want to live through it. So I have this, yeah, that's where I'm at. But to understand the global debt problem, the release valve for the global debts, I've always said for years, I said, when we start to see currency crises, that's the release valve for a sovereign debt problem. Because what happens is eventually the central banks that have been coordinating for years, the ECB, the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan have all been coordinating this liquidity debt growth. And by the way, liquidity equals debt. So you make money through debt. So they keep creating debt to keep liquidity going. Eventually, this is a system, and a system can't grow forever. And the pressure in the system builds. And eventually, it would result in a currency crisis somewhere. And that started last year with the Bank of Japan, because what the Federal Reserve did is raise interest rates from basically zero for 14 years to five and a half percent in a very short period of time. And the yen started to devalue against the dollar and got to 160, which is a level we haven't seen since the 90s. So Japan had a choice. They had to either save their own economy, which they tried to do by raising interest rates to lower the gap between the interest rate differential.

They did that a couple of weeks ago, but what that caused was the yen to strengthen and blow up the yen carry trade, which is a scheme where people have been borrowing in yen for years at 0% interest rates and buying other assets on leverage. So Japan has a Hobbesian choice, save their own skin or save the global financial system, and that's the problem they have right now. So, but I think what triggered the yen, Japanese yen trade blow up was the actual U.S. economy starting to slow down. It started slowing down in 22. The U.S. government then spent money like crazy to save the economy. Didn't get us into an expansionary mode, but it's prevented a recession that we were calling for at the end of last year. And it kind of took economic activity from a low up to almost expansion. And in our numbers, in our own research, it started rolling over again in March.

And I was talking to my partner, Carlos, yesterday, and one of his secret sauce indicators really started to take a nosedive this month. So it looks like it's baked into the cake. The U.S. economy is slowing. We just saw the massive revision to payroll numbers, which basically it's fraud. The government's been cooking the books. and here we are where it's august uh what is it what's the date today the 24th 22nd august 22nd i'm moving you're in the future dude i'm in the future um so here we are we're we're you know we're less than uh you know we're about two months out two and a half months out

from uh the most controversial u.s election ever and the economy's rolling the bank of japan is now struggling to pin their currency. They're working with the Federal Reserve to keep this thing, you know, kind of afloat through the election. And my guess is whoever inherits the U.S. economy, Trump, Kamala, whoever, is going to be faced with a recession right away. And it's going to start becoming apparent very soon. The BLS payroll issue is a big problem i was talking to a very famous economist who called me this person wants to remain anonymous because they have clients on both sides of the political spectrum but um basically we together hashed out a framing of this when you when you commit that kind of fraud uh business leaders

have made decisions on bad data because they thought the economy was fine although there's a lot of people who knew it was lies but not everybody you understand there's even though we may know and your audience may know that these numbers were nonsense for well over a year. There's 80% of the country still believes the official numbers. And so business leaders made bad decisions. The Federal Reserve made bad monitoring policy decisions based on these employment numbers. Now, I think they figured this out about three, four months ago, because even Jerome Powell referenced that there may be some questions with the payroll numbers. And then finally, market participants made bad decisions on bad data.

As this starts to work itself through the system, it's going to create a very, very great pause in business activity, which is going to feed on itself. So we're already slowing. The fact that people now realize the government may have been hiding this is going to even cause business confidence to sour even more. And another trend we're seeing is bank closures. It started last year in the U.S. and continued a bit in Europe. And in a way, and I'm not the expert on this in any way, it kind of stopped. Do you think the Federal Reserve once again did a good job in delaying more bank crises? And for the layman who doesn't understand economics nor follows closely, what else can we expect to see in the banking sector?

yeah so basically yeah so basically what happened in um march of last year we had some stunning bank failures very quickly and that's because the money supply growth year over year went negative in november of 2022 and right away we started to see runs on banks and that was caused because the banks were upside down they they're they're banks of assets and liabilities their liabilities are the deposits which is what they pay you know very low interest rates on and then the assets are what they invest in to make that net interest margin spread that's how they make money they borrow short lend long and when the interest rates went up it caused their bond portfolios investments to go lower so they and so and and they had us and there was competition for the deposits that

competition was treasury bills and money market funds. And slowly people started to take money out of their savings accounts. And that's called disintermediation. So the Fed came in and stopped that by giving the banks a bank term funding program. So they lent banks money against their underwater bond portfolios. And that's called duration or interest rate risk. So that stopped the problem for about a year. The Federal Reserve ended that program in March. But what the Federal Reserve is not going to do, now we're rolling through time. Banks also have, they just don't own safe assets. They make loans. A lot of these loans are commercial real estate loans, business loans. Those loans are now facing what we call a credit problem. The Federal Reserve will not bail

lot of credit issues so so we're not so i i expect bank failures and bank mergers to pick up uh starting soon again um i said at the time in march this can either happen quickly or or slowly and i said at the time we wanted to go slowly for our own benefit because once it speeds up it creates chaos and so i want to give the fellow reserve props they stopped it they stopped But as we roll through time, it's going to get harder and harder for them to justify bailing out bad bank bets and bad credit. It's one thing to lend money against Treasury securities that are just down in price that they have in their hold to maturity account. It's another thing to bail out bad loans. And that's what's coming next.

So I expect a resumption of banking issues. The other thing that's going on, analysts that I follow, I don't delve into bank balance sheets, but they've been hiding losses. And I think there's kind of a coordinated effort to pretend everything's fine and the regulators are looking the other way. And I think bank balance sheets are abysmal, especially in Japan. I think Japan has a big, big problem. There's a bank called Norin Shunkun, which the Federal Reserve has been lending money to since last year. that could go belly up at any moment and that would cause a cascading effect so again timing on this is uncertain it could be a year from now it could be next week you also always say that

another thing with the banking sector is that they probably want to merge a lot of the smaller banks so that they can be left with just a handful of larger banks in order to justify centralizing powers again and controlling people through cbdc's you still think that yeah look if we do get a financial crisis there'll be a lot of regional banks that go bye-bye in the u.s and the u.s will become a country like other countries which have fewer banking options i don't think all banks will go bust but there'll be basically six or seven banks that most people do business with and if you wanted to issue a cbdc it'd be easier to do it if there's only six banks with 80 of the market share and then the other banks have 20

makes sense all right back to covid covid was the largest wealth transfer ever seen where wealth from the lower classes was moved to the upward classes destroying small businesses mandating pharma products for their profit all legitimized under the law and to put this in perspective in 2022 Pfizer made 7.1 billion Moderna made 4.4 billion dollars and I heard you say fix the middle class or this country's gone can you share more about that yeah so for a robust economy and you know freedom you need a middle class and what the economy the last since covid has been a story of two two groups those at the very top and i'm not talking people with three million dollars they're not i'm talking people with over 100 million uh those people have done fabulously well

and then those at the bottom low end of the economic food chain like illegal immigrants have been given money and benefits. Those are the two. In between is the middle class, most of us. We're getting squeezed through inflation, rents, and loss of jobs. The jobs picture has been bad. The reality of the situation is no one's hiring.

It's hard to get a job. So if you've lost your job, you're struggling right now. And looks like the policies that Kamala Harris is proposing will eviscerate the middle class even further. And so if you wanted to create a totalitarian country in the US, you need to get rid of the middle class. right okay to my next question i loved how bobby kennedy presented you to joe rogan as the numbers guy that during covid you started seeing data that made no sense especially the all-cause mortality deaths you started tracking people mostly athletes dying after taking the injections that shouldn't have been dying through sources like insurance data which showed excess death in younger groups, spiking after the jabs in the U.S. and worldwide. And your book,

Cause Unknown, The Epidemic of Sudden Death in 2021 and 2022, visualizes this. Can you talk a bit about your vaccine damage report? For example, it showed the cost for injury, disabilities, and deaths is close to $150 billion for the U.S. Do you have any updates on that, and how does it look like today? I think we did an update when I went to Congress in February for Senator Ron Johnson's. It wasn't an official hearing, but, you know, it was experts around the world.

I kind of gave the pandemic scorecard, and basically 500,000 people died excessively in 2020, mostly old. And now we know that a lot of those people died from inappropriate medical care, not so much COVID. We also proved that the COVID all-cause mortality was overinflated. We have a paper on that on our website. So that was a scare tactic to call everything COVID. There was about 70% over-reporting in COVID numbers. So then I said to Senator Johnson, since all the lockdowns and whatever you want to call it, the policy implementation to fight COVID resulted, as of the end of 2023, in 1.1 million U.S. excess deaths.

About 300,000 in the ages 16 through 64, so that's the working class, mostly young, below 64. Disabilities were 4 million. And then there's a category we called injured, which we imputed from the Pfizer clinical trials and the work time loss. So there's about 28 million people who are chronically sick. so when we calculated work time loss disabilities and then deaths using national income accounts I think it was around 230 billion

all in that is just like that is insane and people still don't believe what COVID was they still think some of them still think that the vaccines saved their lives it's crazy, it's just looking at the data

yeah for me the athletes are anecdotal in nature i mean there you could you that we all know that that was different we hadn't grown up with athletes dropping dead all the time but when you get into the big data i call the metadata the big the big uh wake up moment for me was seeing the mix shift from who died in 2020 versus who died in 2021 and in 2020 there were 124 000 um uh millennials or people So, yeah, millennials, 25 to 44, there were 124,000 deaths.

Then it went up to 220,000 in 21. So there were 500,000 people who died in the U.S. in 2021, excessively, in 2020. But it was a mix shift. It went from old to young. So same number of deaths, but now we have a mix shift. And so you don't need to be a rocket scientist. So you have to ask yourself, do viruses only attack young people and mutate? You know, we went from the A variant, which is the most deadly, to Delta, to Omicron.

And so why are young people starting to die? Well, concurrently, we had a vaccination program. So that's where I, as an analyst and a Wall Street guy, you know, that for me was proof. Now, if you look on our website, we've now gone deep, deep, deep, deep. We've got excess cancer deaths, excess musculoskeletal deaths. We've got excess neurological deaths. We looked at the disability data, the employee of the U.S. team to get hit harder than everybody else, which is counterintuitive. In the U.K., they have a very interesting database called the Personal Independence Payment System.

And we looked at all the new claims, excess new claims, and they shot up across the board in almost every body system, almost every one. We start with the athletic deaths, the sudden athletic deaths, because these are the most elite fittest amongst us. And I wanted to show that what's going on is true. First, is it true? And forget about why. Just suspend that. But, you know, by showing all these individual stories from local newspapers, they don't really ever make it to the national level. We want to put a human face on it and really connect people with what's going on. That this just isn't some statistical anomaly caused by climate change, caused by X, Y, Z. These are real young people dying in the prime of their life on the field. I think we were hoping for the court of public opinion to shift lawmakers stance and start

driving accountability do you think that that has happened because I don't see that so much I think that's where they draw the war card and try to cover up I didn't see so much of the court of public opinion doing its work here what I was hoping to see or maybe I'm missing something do you see it differently well there there is there is a court of public opinion it's called booster uptake which is abysmal so the covid booster uptake is at three four percent uh pfizer stock has given up all its covid game gains and is trading below where it was pre-covid so that's good news moderna uh has been squashed um and they recently reported horrendous numbers because no one's getting any more COVID shots.

So word of mouth is spread. It's not a factor that doesn't work. So why would, you know, if you're a thinking person, it doesn't work, why take it? So even if you don't know it's unsafe, at least people are like, it doesn't work. I'm not going to get it. And then word of mouth is spread quietly

that it could be unsafe. But it's still in these hallowed halls of the institutions. It's still not talked about. I have an insurance whistleblower. They don't want to talk about the issue. They want to just raise prices and move on. There's still people in these insurance companies getting COVID shots, the propaganda, and it's just a mindset. We do have some states' attorney generals that are suing Pfizer, so that's good news. Maybe something will come out in discovery, but it's a good news, bad news. No one's taking the shots anymore, but they're still being offered. But there's been no aha moment or admission by anybody with any authority that these things need to be pulled. I'm hopeful.

There seems to be a lot going on in Japan. there's a lot of doctors and well-known scientists that are that are speaking out um but that's where we are we're kind of in this joke dystopian world where those who know know and those who don't are oblivious and i feel bad for them completely and i'm not even gonna waste time our precious time talking about the monkey pox because it's stupid let's just keep going i agree they're not gonna it's just so let's move on so this is a topic that i really wanted to talk to you about and we started chatting on twitter the other day following one of my clips that i put out there on my recent interview with uh who is a spiritual teacher and we talked a lot

about awakening and spirituality and so i want to dive a little bit into that with you awakening for me is a process that starts with discernment continues with some level of humbleness and then courage how do you see that process how does it work for you well for me uh my awakening began in 2011-12 when I suffered a horrendous depression and I had been someone who drank too much and that was my medicine and it worked quite well until it didn't work. So I quit drinking in 2005 and it was starting to do things properly to get myself right but unfortunately um i had low level anxiety and low level depression and i made the mistake of uh going to the medical profession and that's when they put me on um uh antidepressants and uh and benzodiazepines for

the anxiety and that caused me to become even worse all these drugs made me suicidal every day i thought about killing myself i eventually uh i got the drugs made me basically catatonic and i had to undergo electroshock therapy to get me out of it and that did that i'm not i'm not an advocate for electroshock therapy because there's a lot of problems with it but it worked for me and what was interesting is after that uh i met a man uh who was a psychiatrist who no longer practices but he said and i was still on these drugs he said ed you're a zombie uh you're not who you used to be and he said that these drugs are only meant for a small portion of people and that uh his job and his practice was taking people off these drugs he said you need you need

you need to get spirituality you need to change your diet and i'm going to take you out these drugs so i got off all the drugs and i began a process of healing and through that process of pain and healing and maybe the electroshock therapy i don't know but i saw the world in a different way so you know i gave all my worries over to god uh i started living in the present moment and you talk about energy in that clip my energy had been uh in the past and in the future i was never in the present moment never for my whole life and that's why i think i drank was to calm my mind down and um one of the things i did right before i i got better was i googled uh Biblical Solutions to Depression.

And the Book of Job came up. And that's an allegory about a man who was given everything by God, and God and the devil made a bet. They took everything away. And at the end of it, he basically, his life was so ridiculously bad. You know, his friends didn't like him. He played the victim role. But then eventually he realized that he had to come into acceptance

of his life circumstances and that in the present moment with god everything is fine and that's what i started to do i started to get into present moment thinking giving giving uh what was going on in my life over to god stop being a victim when i was depressed i was a victim i was a victim what was me everybody's against me i changed my mindset and then i started to get into service to other people and it's it's literally impossible to be depressed when you're helping someone else it's impossible it is just absolutely possible and gratitude just being grateful for simple things like going outside seeing the sun feeling it on your face i became a child again just in wonder of everything and so that was my process but also through this process i saw the world

completely differently i realized that the people who were trying to help me were captured by a system that was trying to make them sick. The psychiatrist told me back in 2012 that the statement that you have a chemical imbalance was a lie, never proven, and was a marketing tool by the pharmaceutical industry. Every doctor was propagandized and would repeat this lie and that blew me away. So I knew in 2012 that was a lie and then I guess last year it finally came out that's a lie. They did a study

there's no such thing as a chemical imbalance these drugs are nothing more than placebos with horrendous side effects um and the side effects different differ from person to person they made me want to kill myself every day every day i fought suicide wow so that my awakening process began in 2013 and i started to see and i'd already known that there was something wrong after the great financial crisis, but it opened my mind and I started to think of a system that was meant to harm us and then realize that people through, uh, monetary incentives, not knowing always what they're doing, uh, could bring you, um, bring people catastrophic, uh, consequences. And now we've, you know, we all know now that the food system is, is designed to make you sick.

The COVID vaccines are designed to enrich the pharmaceutical industry. Not every allopathic medicine is bad, but the system has gotten so profit hungry and so crazy that they just want you on a product for life rather than solving the problem itself, which, you know, if you directly solve the problem, there's no more cash flow for these individuals. And in fact, the Goldman Sachs analyst wrote this, you know, like five, six years ago that because there was a drug, Gilead, I think the company Gilead came up with a cure to hepatitis and the stock took off, but then it crashed because, you know, there's only 80,000 people with hepatitis in the U.S. Once you get rid of those patients, the drug cash flow is good as zero. so the goldman said a better model is to treat symptoms not the root cause because then you have

cats i don't think he knew what he was saying ethically but but from a business standpoint he was right like that you know you want recurring revenues right you want recurring revenues it's crazy and we were talking about energy and you were saying thoughts are energy and the game is to hijack thoughts and people don't realize that the extent to which they take over how you think and implant some narratives, beliefs, like you were saying, you know, there is a chemical imbalance, whatever kind of lie that they would repeat again and again and again, make you feel like it's the truth. And we don't even stop to question that. And when we give our energy away in such careless way without even stopping to think about it, we may wake up one day when we

experience a lot of pain like you for example with drinking and realize that we've gone too far we've given too much of our powers away and we don't have any control any sovereignty over who who we are it almost always happens to people with like in in a situation of pain or stress or hardship that something happens to them that forces them to look closely at what's happening and maybe wake up like there are many moments in life that the opportunity is presented to us but it's up to us to decide that we choose that moment to then do something and wake up right and and it's a it's a i believe energy is hugely important thoughts are energy there's three energy systems in the in the human body there's the brain the heart and the gut and if this one

is too busy it will affect the other two and i've come to believe and i read some some things about the evolutionary reason for depression depression is is an unsettled mind that is looping and ruminating on useless negative thoughts over and over again to the point where the energy expended is so great that the body reacts by shutting it down and depressing you so that you don't die so that your heart and your gut can keep working because you're just expending too much energy up here. And so whenever I see, as awful as this COVID thing was, I have to stop myself from getting too angry.

Angry, anger is a low vibrational energy. And the only person that can really mess up my life mostly is me. There are other, I mean, people can do things to you, but you have a choice in how you react to it. But if you we are always our own worst enemy and thoughts looping that are negative can then manifest into action. So people who get very angry all the time are going to eventually some of these people will act out and manifest violence or wrong decision making, scream at their loved one for no reason. And so I, I spent a lot of time on emotional control and, and, and praying to God to take that, you know, when I have an angry thought and I have them, I'm human, you know, I've

had, I've had fantasies of what I might do to some of these people, uh, that have caused this. I go, God, please remove the sock. Because if that loops continuously, then I might go on an interview and start screaming like a crazy man. Yeah. And we all have kids too, and they know where to push. I mean, not all of us have kids, but kids are really good at that.

Yeah, I have kids. I have three beautiful children. That's amazing. For me, that's another great reason to continue doing inner work, just like seeing my son and saying, I want to build a better life for him than what I had or this clown world that you're describing here. I'll do whatever it takes for him. And if it means that I need to work on myself, I will do that. Yeah, and, you know, it doesn't mean we shouldn't get angry or we shouldn't be upset. What we need to do and what I've done is, you know, I call it limiting my – I have to use this bolder word.

I usually have zero fucks about things, but every now and then you have to give a fuck. But you have to do it in a controlled way and not let anger or jealousy or fear, you know, take over your mind because then your critical thinking skills are just disabled. And that's the whole game. That's why when I saw that little clip, I was like, that's the whole game. If you want to control massive populations, and I think this knowledge has been known to elite rulers forever. I think they're embedded in the mystery schools and how to control populations. Fear and anger and division are how you control, how the few control the many. I mean, there's a great meme I saw that I post often.

It's a king on the parapet of his castle with his advisor next to him. And down below are the peasants with their pitchforks and their torches. and the advisor goes you don't need to fight them you see you just need to convince the pitchfork people that the torch people want the pitchforks and that's it that's the game it's magic it's alchemy it's changing uh uh human populations through mass psychology right and they're so good at that and that's why whenever i go on any podcast that is like a normie podcast and people ask me so what do you suggest you know that's the first knee-jerk reaction that they have so what do you suggest with all the stuff that you're saying say first

thing is just shut off your tv just start by disconnecting from the media that will be your first step into how do you say it sobriety like become sober again yes yeah i stopped i don't own a TV. I don't have a subscription to cable. I get all my news curated the way I want to see it. And I do see bad news, but I look at it now rather than it's real. What is what's what's the game behind it? You know, so when I see and so I'm analyzing the news rather than reacting to the news. And I'm very careful about letting negative influences subconsciously into my head that then i act on so you know it's funny people are like oh you don't have a tv yeah that's right you seem like you know what's going on that's right you don't really need that

brainwashing machine in order to know what's going on okay i'm gonna i'm gonna be a little bit bold here and try something your ability and intuition to detect and identify trends see things before other people see them connect the dots and then take actions accordingly was harnessed by you in your journey to develop a successful career as a financial analyst in such an environment your traits are used in a way people enjoy the fruits of your labor and you're not stepping out of that sandbox of like normal life so you're accepted and it's okay but something happened to you i don't know if it was 2020 or earlier where kind of your true essence or your signature your divine spark maybe decided to change course by harnessing these abilities and

and these intuitions for the public's good to expose fraud not just for the sake of making more money for someone but to actually try and help save lives or change the course of reality was that a conscious decision for you was that a spiritual calling take us to that time when you started to realize how you and your life are changing and that that's essence of ed that is coming to the forefront is actually playing the part now well i had an inkling before COVID that the system was low-key evil and there was something very off. But I couldn't really express it to many people

because it sounded crazy at the time. And I felt helpless. I'm like, well, I live in this system. I have to figure my own way in the world. And then COVID happened in 2020. I was relatively small on Twitter. I had maybe 9,000 followers, maybe 10,000, eventually get up to 16,000 during 2020. And I was a lone voice kind of saying, hey, something's off here.

And I really wasn't well-known. I mean, some people on Wall Street knew who I was, but I wasn't very well-known. Then the mandates came in 2021. on and that's and I just got myself into supreme health and fitness I had recovered from my depression uh I was you know I I turned uh a physical wreck of a man that was 220 pounds into a healthy human being uh and I was enjoying my life and the thought of being now subjected to uh a needle against my wishes that's and then it hit me the evil that I was trying to ignore manifested into a jab this this evil system manifested into a jab a poisonous jab and i

knew it was poison and i and i said and i i literally uh in around september of 2021 i got on my knees and prayed to god please make me useful somehow then dr malone literally came to the island i was selected to be one of the people on maui to go to a dinner because i had you know uh and good presentation skills representing maui and i met him and uh we with some other gentlemen started to talk about what was going on and he um i told him i said at the time you know i'm a finance guy and if this job is truly as poisonous as i think it is They won't be able to hide it in the funeral homes and the insurance companies. So I said I was going to monitor that.

So Dr. Malone and I became friends. And once this started coming out, I started highlighting this. And then he started to boost my social media. And then I took off. So I prayed to God, and then God made it happen. Wow. Do you realize that this is like your, I mean, I don't know if this is your calling in life, but just your service to humanity what you do with your skills being able to analyze data

being able to spot trends this is like the most valuable thing that we need right now in the crazy period of time that we're in because we need to keep talking the truth and not many people do that and when we have people like you on board it's like a whole different ball game Well, I'd also like to call out the fact that once I started, my voice started growing, I had wonderful people with even greater skill sets than myself. My partner, Carlos Alegria and Yuri Nunes are in Portugal. They're PhD physicists, and Carlos has a PhD in not only physics, but finance. Their skill sets are so much greater than mine. they took my work to a whole new level and we you know and then there's been lots of other people that have contributed to this discussion you know not just my team and so what i felt like i was doing was i was making it okay for people to talk about this they saw me i that guy if he's saying it i'll maybe put my foot and now it's there are other people analyzing this data i'll cause more

There's Dennis Rancourt. There's all sorts of people looking at this kind of data. So that was our goal. We didn't need to be the voice. We don't need to be the heroes. We just wanted to be the spearhead and then let the discussion begin. So I'm very honored that my speaking out brought experts to me. And luckily, I had discernment and I was able to find the right people.

and the way they came to me was it was it was it was it was there was a spiritual influence because i met carlos because he sent me this email that was beautiful and i got tons of people wanting to help but some people wanted to help for their own agendas so i had to make sure that i found someone who was pure of art and carlos was there energy right you were attracting you were resonating with the right people and it's like a vortex once you open it up the right energy just flows in so that's also i agree with you it's completely divine and then i also had to check my ego because it's very easy once you start to get some sort of fame to get too into you and my fame wasn't due to me it's due to god so i have to be very humble and not and be very

discerning in who i associate myself with i gotta make sure it's for the right purpose and that there's not hidden agendas because everyone, you know, but when you become quasi, and again, I'm low-key internet famous, I'm not that famous, but people approach you and have their agendas and you just have to sit and listen and see, are you here to help or are you here to help yourself? Exactly, exactly. And if we keep our focus on our mission and why we do this,

that we are of service to humanity in some way, each one of us in their own way then that makes it so much easier because it's not about me it's about my mission it's about my greater purpose and then it just helps focus okay i think we both see the powers that be as quite sophisticated i agree with your take of what you said before and even if schwab gates fauci and all the others are full guys there will be new heroes appearing to charm and lead the herd into like a new direction or like a quasi new direction i personally see this unfolding lately with elon musk as the knight on the white horse i'm sorry i know i'm not popular by thinking that or saying that it's as if he's like this charming guy charming people and

everyone's like Elon, Elon, Elon, and essentially centralizing powers in my eyes. You know, he owns a variety of companies that are well positioned to take control, starting from social media data and satellites, communication, et cetera, but all the way to your health data and to, you know, brain functioning and obviously the relationship it has with health. So what's your take on it? In general, I'm like referring to the savior syndrome. I'm not picking up necessarily on Elon Musk, but, you know, that's my opinion that a lot of people are looking for saviors. And you don't have to agree with me, but there are all those fall guys that we may see them fall and being thrown under the bus. There will be other ones coming in from this point onwards from the same pool of sophisticated powers that be that want to continue rolling out their agendas.

So, yeah, I'm interested in your take on that. So I 100% agree with you. So I'm on record saying, I think over a year and a half ago, it occurred to me, looking at, you know, Klaus Schwab, Harari, Bill Gates, and some of these characters, they were out of a Bond villain movie. They were caricatures. And I said to myself, and I said, look, if I was a supremely evil genius in the shadows, I would prop up Bond villains, then take them down, and then bring shiny, beautiful people forward to implement my real agenda. I said that a year and a half ago. So we have to be on guard for that. Is Elon one of them? I don't know. What I do know is you judge people by the fruits that fall from the tree.

So right now, X has been bringing a lot of truth. If things start, if Elon starts to go sideways, I'll call him out. I also put out a tweet recently, right after the assassination attempt, that, you know, I could sense that the elites were scared that this populism may be too great to beat. So you don't beat it, you infiltrate it. And to get your agenda through, you need to bridle MAGA, the populist movement. How would you do that? you let trump in but you surround trump with i'm not saying trump's in on it there's ways of doing this with that you know you surround trump with people who give him bad advice and the agenda

gets implemented that way so we have to be on guard and to your point there are no gurus there are no saviors you know um i'm not a savior i'm a human being with character defects i've got issues you've got issues but uh everybody needs to go into themselves and be their own savior and once you save yourself then you can help other people but there are no no magic bullets there's no one coming to save us you save yourself and then you build a community of other like-minded individuals and then you go from there this this this magic bullet isn't going to happen and whoever Whoever gets into office, the only way to really solve this global debt problem is going to be a collapse of it, which will require austerity on the part of the globe. And everyone's going to have to get together and understand the way you used to live is over.

We're going to create new systems of living that are going to be better for the planet and for you. They don't require debt, slavery and anxiety and fear and anger. that's my hope and goal but it's it's going to take some time and it's going to be pain there can be no gain without pain and this whole global system is about avoiding the pain the pain's coming it's what you do with the pain yeah and looping back to what we were talking about i believe that pain is that wave that you have to jump into in order to discover yourself rediscover yourself and wake up so maybe the pain is there to serve a purpose my pain changed me or it could have killed me i chose i chose to let the pain transform me

rather than make me a permanent lifelong victim on psychotropic drugs thanks for sharing that by the way that's very brave of you okay i think we're up to the hour now and i don't want to take more of your time i'm going to save all my good bitcoin question to our next interview that hopefully will happen next year i really really really thank you and i want to ask you if you have any last words you want to say i normally ask my guests to end on a message of hope you are full of hope i think just by listening to this episode people will be filled with hope but if you want to say something just to finish off please yeah i mean look the world's uncertain and i there's a quote um once you learn to become comfortable with uncertainty infinite possibilities open up

so once you have embraced that there's lots of opportunities and new connections you can make in this chaos you can find your true tribe um i think you need to live in the present moment you can go out into the future a little bit but don't stay there too long and don't don't be in the past um you know you know thinking about bad things that happen to you because i believe the devil lives in the future in the past god is in the present moment and the more you stay out of those two areas the better off you are and you know whenever you're in anxiety and fear just say to yourself am i right now where am i a roof over my head i have food in the refrigerator today it's fine and that is how you should live not and then if it doesn't and for the next day there's no food

you'll figure you know you'll deal with it in the moment but if you're out in the future worried about what what kind of a world am i bringing my child up in you can't stay there you have the power to bring up your own child you have the power to you know you don't need riches and wealth to have a good family life i mean we've seen you know oligarchs with children who are messes so this is this is this is this this is about human connection what's important in life the best things in life are always free yeah love that's free and abundant the answer is love definitely the answer is definitely i'm with you ed you're magical thank you so much for this precious hour i really appreciate you and your work and your mission to help humanity thank you so much

i thank you too i've been watching a lot of your podcasts and you gave a lot of good information to people on october 7th that i thought they needed to hear i did and everyone was calling me names just like they were calling you in 2020 but you know i guess that's how we know that we're on the right track yeah truth truth truth is hard to watch yeah all right you have a great day there in maui and we'll talk again soon thank you so much thank you Thanks for watching!
