WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.759 It looks like it's a natural control for cancer. And 2 00:00:02.759 --> 00:00:05.240 he told me the story. All right, this kid's interesting 3 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.080 in the details. He had a dog that had cancer 4 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:11.880 and he was about to put the dog down because 5 00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:15.880 he tried chemotherapy and everything else on the dog that 6 00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:18.800 the doctors do and it wasn't working. In fact, the 7 00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.679 dog was getting sicker. And when he heard about he says, 8 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:25.199 I tried to use I decided to use this substance 9 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:27.199 on the dog, and he said, blow me down. The 10 00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:30.480 dog got well real fast. I couldn't believe it. I'd 11 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.560 never seen that happen before. And then the next part 12 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.119 of the story is that he said his nurse came 13 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.399 to him, his head nurse, whose husband had terminal cancer, 14 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.200 and she said, doctor John, you know my husband is 15 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.320 not going to last very much longer. And I saw 16 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:51.039 what happened to the dog. Would you please do that 17 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:52.119 for my husband? 18 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:52.520 Oh? 19 00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.359 And he said, well, sure, I'd be glad to, but 20 00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.520 don't tell anybody because it's not approved, you know, and 21 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:03.399 for human use. And he tried it on her husband 22 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.359 and he got well, this is how it all started. 23 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.680 And so John said, I started using it very very 24 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.760 cautiously and very low dosages and very suspiciously making sure 25 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.760 that I was not risking anybody's life, using it only 26 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.040 on people who really had terminal cancer. 27 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.359 Joining us now is g Edward Griffin, a real giant 28 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:32.879 in the liberty movement. He's done so many monumental works. 29 00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.040 Of course everybody knows Creature from Jackal Island, but we 30 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.959 want also talked to him today about his book A 31 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.599 World Without Cancer, because I think that's a message that 32 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.799 is people are ready to hear after what we've been 33 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.599 through for the last four years. But we've now seen 34 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.920 I think, really a convergence in medical, financial, and political 35 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:54.920 because it's being swallowed up by the political stuff. But 36 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.760 great to have Joe Griffin on. Thank you so much 37 00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:58.319 for joining us. 38 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.079 Sir, well, it is my pleasure. Thanks for inviting me. 39 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.079 And I want to talk also about the Red Pill 40 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.640 Expo that's going to be coming up in just a 41 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.200 couple of weeks as well, so I'll give you a 42 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.319 chance to talk about that and what's happening with that. 43 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.439 But your work is very well known by a lot 44 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.479 of people, and we're going to try to get into 45 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.159 maybe you know, the medical aspect of this is maybe 46 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:18.840 not as well known as a federal reserve. But we 47 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.639 do want to talk about the financial stuff. That's very 48 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.680 important right now. But I think it'd be good for 49 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.240 us to talk about your biography. How did you get 50 00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:33.080 into doing documentaries and books and especially in terms of 51 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.159 going against the grain of conventional wisdom. Tell us a 52 00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.240 little bit about your background. 53 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:45.800 Well, it's a long background, of course, considering my age, 54 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:52.719 and it's probably not very interesting. It's rather boring. Actually, yeah, 55 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.360 you're correct. We've covered some ground and made some amazing 56 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.759 touch points along the way. I think it's only because 57 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:06.080 we've been at it for so long. My life has 58 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:11.319 been pretty much normal in the sense by normal, I'm 59 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:15.639 almost afraid or embarrassed to say normal, because unfortunately what 60 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.000 is normal out there in the world today is not 61 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.240 particularly attractive. 62 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.039 An abnormal world. A normal person in an abnormal world. 63 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.680 Yeah, well, I mean it's not unusual. I guess I 64 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:32.159 should say in that I would start out in one 65 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.319 direction and be confronted by some impossible barrier or setback 66 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:41.479 or tragedy, and it would be life changing for me 67 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:48.360 and very very uncomfortable, very painful, very very frightening. But 68 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.840 in retrospect, as the time goes by. I find out 69 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.360 that that was the best thing that ever happened to me, 70 00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.199 because it forced me to do a right turn or 71 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:03.159 change my direction substantially. And even though it was painful 72 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:07.000 and I had to abandon my original plans and expectations, 73 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.199 I found out that it was a better direction than 74 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.439 the one I was on originally. And this my life, 75 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.720 is full of that. And some of those those tragedies 76 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.319 along the way were very serious illnesses too. I was 77 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.120 still very young, in my early thirties, and I had 78 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.920 a wife and a couple of kids to support, and 79 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.240 I had a collapse, and I had two doctors tell 80 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.040 me I had multiple sclerosis. Not that was I didn't 81 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.160 really know for sure what that was. I knew it 82 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.600 was bad, but when I looked it up in the 83 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.040 in the encyclopedia, I decided, oh, man, this is a 84 00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.480 bad way to go out the door. And I thought 85 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.000 I was dying, of course, but it was a misdiagnosis. 86 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:56.959 I had exhausted myself. I had it rather. I thought 87 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.360 I was carrying the world on my shoulders. I thought 88 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.839 I had to save the world all by myself, and 89 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.000 so I was not getting a lot of sleep. I 90 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:06.560 was a young guy. Of course, I was doing a 91 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.120 lot of traveling, making presentations, training sessions, all that kind 92 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.079 of thing. So I would go from one town to 93 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.800 the next and drive a good portion of the day 94 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.120 to get there, get there and be taken out to 95 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.399 dinner and then put on an evening presentation and then 96 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.279 meeted somebody's house afterwards. 97 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.959 And what kind of presentations were you doing? Was this political? 98 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.439 Well, these were these were recruiting, These were recruiting meetings 99 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.160 I was at that time. I was a coordinator for 100 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.399 the John Birch Society. I know that scares a lot 101 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:41.839 of people that think that's a wacko organization, but not me. 102 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.600 Well good anyway, they're very to me. They're very, very 103 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.920 calm and very not wacko at all. Of course they 104 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.600 have some wackos in there, but the percentage of wackos 105 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.600 and the brid Society, I thought was smaller than the 106 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.399 percentage outside of the brit Society everywhere. Yeah, yeah, that 107 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.079 was the safest place to be. But anyway, that's what 108 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.360 I was doing. And so I was drinking. You know, 109 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.680 everybody would want to buy me some wine and we'd 110 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.199 drink wine and talk about life and the world events 111 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.519 and so forth. And then I get to bed late 112 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.040 at night or early in the morning, get up in 113 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:22.920 the morning and drive and do that over and over again. 114 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.240 I came back and I was planning some trees in 115 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:30.120 my front yard and I just froze up. I became paralyzed. 116 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:35.120 And take a long story short, I was I had 117 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:41.199 just exhausted my physical strength, malnutrition, toxic elements in my body, 118 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.560 not enough sleep, and a bad metal attitude, always filled 119 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:50.879 with anxiety, and you know, all the bad things. And 120 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.240 I didn't realized. I didn't think I had to worry 121 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.079 about that because I was young, right, Young people don't 122 00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:01.439 get sick, So anyway, they diagnosed it as multiple sclerosis. 123 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.240 It turned out not to be that. Once I got 124 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:08.040 off of my routine and started to find out what 125 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.480 this world was all about in terms of nutrition and 126 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:16.759 rest and avoiding toxic things in your body and in 127 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.639 your environment and so forth, I recovered rather rapidly, So 128 00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.839 in retrospect, it was very good because I learned how 129 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.720 to live, and I probably wouldn't be alive today if 130 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.879 I hadn't learned that lesson early in my life. At 131 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.759 the same time, I was really pretty well stuck in bed, 132 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.000 and I didn't know I could write. I had gone 133 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:42.680 to school, I had learned, I'd learned about communications. I 134 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.839 would stage plays. I was an actor, a little child actor. 135 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.920 You can imagine anything worse than that. I did a 136 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:51.800 lot of early day. 137 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.240 I can imagine it being a lot worse today. 138 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:56.439 Well, I don't know. It was pretty bad. I was 139 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.399 right in the middle of that. And you know, I 140 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.560 was in Detroit, and we did radio in those days. 141 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.399 And you know a lot of shows came out of 142 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.759 Detroit at the Ford Theater and the Hermit's Cave, and 143 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.680 we had a Saturday show was the same as Let's Pretend, 144 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.600 and we covered anyway. I did a lot of radio stuff, 145 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.839 so and I and I went to school and took 146 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.279 more of the same. Television was just coming online in 147 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.839 those days, so I was taking courses in television and 148 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:26.959 radio communications. 149 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.000 Let me ask a question real quick. Your radio I 150 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.440 guess that was live radio performed. Oh, yeah, that's really 151 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:36.360 interesting stuff. I love listening to the live things like that. 152 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.320 Yeah, it was. I worked my way through college as 153 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.039 a radio announcer for w u o M, which was 154 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:47.759 the university radio station at the University of Michigan and 155 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.759 you know all of that. So I was into that. 156 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:55.240 So when I got sick, I thought, well, I'm not 157 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.360 going to be able to make a living. I couldn't 158 00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.039 get out of bed for the most part, had to 159 00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.240 practically crawl from one room to the other. And so 160 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.000 I got this call from a publisher and he said, ed, 161 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.360 I understand you've been giving speeches on the United Nations 162 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:13.000 and they're very well received. Would you like to write 163 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.320 a book for us on that topic. We want to 164 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:17.240 publish a book, and we think you could do it. 165 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.799 And of course, at that time I had never written anything, 166 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.960 and that was not my I did not identify as 167 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:30.240 an author. I identified as a communicator on television or 168 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.720 radio or something like that. And my dream was to 169 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.720 go to Hollywood and become a great Hollywood producer in 170 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:40.639 motion pictures. So when this guy called me and said, 171 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.559 how would you like to write a book? That was 172 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.440 the last thing I felt I was capable or interested 173 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:50.240 in doing. But I thought instantly about hawwity. He's offering 174 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.159 me some money, and here I am in bed. I 175 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:56.120 can't do anything else to support my family, and we're 176 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.240 running out of money. And so I found myself saying, oh, 177 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.120 no problem, Yeah, sure I could do that. 178 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:06.960 I'm in that kind of situation as well. You know, 179 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.000 God puts us in a position where you got one 180 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.559 way out and that's it something that you would have 181 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:12.159 chosen to do. 182 00:10:12.440 --> 00:10:15.200 Yeah, So I just use that as an example. So 183 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.919 I took it on the commitment, and then I started 184 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.960 to do my hard research. I had done a lot 185 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:23.279 of it already, but I knew that in a book 186 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.320 you had to document everything. It wasn't just you could say, well, 187 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.960 I know this and I know that. So I did 188 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.000 research at the last about probably two or three months of 189 00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.159 putting all the documents together, and then the day came 190 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.039 when it was time to write. And it was kind 191 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.000 of like looking at an old movie where you've everybody's 192 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.080 seen those scenes where the author has to write something 193 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:47.320 and he's on a typewriter and he types a few 194 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.000 lines and he pulls the paper out, crushes it and 195 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.039 throws it on the floor and that's no good, and 196 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.320 then this is no good. I went through that in spades. 197 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.600 All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 198 00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:03.159 Right. So I was using a pencil. We didn't have 199 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.639 computers in those days, and I couldn't type. So I 200 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.480 was writing things out and I tear it up and 201 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.200 throw it out just I couldn't how come I can't write. 202 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:16.320 I can't write, Give me a microphone. So then there's 203 00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:18.960 the point and the end of this. So finally I said, 204 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:20.879 I'm just going to write. Mary had a little lamb. 205 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:23.320 I started to write things out, and the first thing, 206 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.440 you know, I had this idea, I can't write this 207 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.759 because how do you how do you approach a topic 208 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:34.480 so huge as this was my book on the United Nations, 209 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.879 my first book. It's called The Fearful Master A second 210 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:40.399 look at the United Nations? So I wrote down, how 211 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.399 can you write about something like this? It's like a 212 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.480 huge globe made of glass, so large that you couldn't 213 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.480 grasp it in its entirety, and you couldn't hold it. 214 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.080 How do you write a book? It's like having to 215 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.159 move a mountain? How do you move a mountain? And 216 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:02.559 then I found myself writing, well, you dig and then 217 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.840 this is my first spade, And I looked at it. 218 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:08.960 I said, well, that's kind of clever, And the first 219 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.039 thing I know, I extended that and the next few 220 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.639 pages came pretty fast, and by the time I got 221 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:19.000 to page seven, it was roaring along. I found out 222 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.759 I wound up. I've looked in the in the wall 223 00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.399 at the wall, my gosh, I can write, and I'm 224 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:27.559 having fun doing it. So I use that as an example. 225 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.200 I wouldn't be here talking to you today if I 226 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:34.039 hadn't had this illness and that event that forced me 227 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.679 forced me to make a right turn in my where 228 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.200 I thought was my career path. And at that time 229 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.000 I didn't think I was going to live anyway. But 230 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.600 so it forced me to make a change that affected 231 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.519 my whole life. I hoped for the better. 232 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.159 That's a great story. We've had so many people when 233 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.320 they lost they would face of the decision take the 234 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.759 shot or lose your job. And I've looked as so 235 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.080 many people who had that crisis, It's like, what do 236 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.480 I do. I've trained all my life for this. I 237 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.080 don't have any other alternative, but I'm not going to 238 00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:05.480 take that shot. And to a man that has been, 239 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.480 a woman, that has been, every person I've talked to 240 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.279 about that, it's been a wonderful turning point for them. 241 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.279 And so I think your life lesson as well as 242 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.879 a lot of other people. That's a real important life lesson. 243 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:17.720 I think, well, there it is. And that's why I 244 00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.799 said it's in a way, I'm very normal because what 245 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.759 I just said, although it's dramatic, for me, it was dramatic. 246 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:29.080 Everybody goes through those crises. I think maybe they don't 247 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.919 think about it as having made a big change. And 248 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:37.120 I suppose not every change in the direction is that dramatic, 249 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:39.600 but most of them, or many of them are the 250 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.720 important ones are. So with that as a background, I 251 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.360 started off in one direction. All of a sudden, I'm writing, 252 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.120 and I decided I wanted to go off on my own. 253 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:56.000 I decided I wanted to do I wanted to reach 254 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.000 out to a lot of people, and I wanted to 255 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.840 use my skills that I had acquired in communications. So 256 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.159 I decided to produce some very low budget documentary films 257 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:10.919 on important issues. And the first, the first attempt, was 258 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:15.679 to write something on a documentary film on money and inflation. 259 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.720 And then of course that led me blankly to the 260 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:21.639 topic of the Federal Reserve system. And I'm off and 261 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:25.799 running now, and I had no idea how much voltage 262 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.720 was in the wire that I was about to grab 263 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:33.080 hold of. On that one if I had, if I 264 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.799 had even an inkling of how deep that topic goes, 265 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.159 and how broad it is, how many things it covers, 266 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:46.960 and how profound, profoundly important it is to our lives, 267 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:53.240 our liberty, our lifestyle, everything, I would never have tackled 268 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:58.200 it because it was far beyond my reach. I'm the 269 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.360 last person in the world to write about things like that. 270 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.320 I'm a kid that was a child actor. 271 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.840 You know, Well, that makes a question, how did you 272 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:10.679 you're working with the before he started writing, and before 273 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.519 you wrote that book on the UN, you were also 274 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.480 lecturing about UN and other things like that. How did 275 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.600 you get into working for the John Bird Society or 276 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.279 how did you begin to be skeptical about what the 277 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.440 UN's purposes and agenda were. 278 00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:29.399 Well, that's another story, similar to the one I just mentioned. 279 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.000 I was working for a large corporation. I was in 280 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:36.440 the corporate world. I had found out the hard way 281 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:43.840 that Hollywood wasn't waiting for me. I had gone there 282 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:46.200 and I was, you know, wanted to make my splash. 283 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:49.120 I wanted to get a job with some production company, 284 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.080 and I was looking for the grand opening and it 285 00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:55.840 wasn't happening. And I looked around realistically, and I saw 286 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.200 that all these young people there, the guys and gals, 287 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:04.879 had talent superior to mine, really, and they were busting 288 00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:09.399 tables and washing cars, waiting for the big chance in Hollywood. 289 00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:11.960 And then I began to get a sense of the 290 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:18.240 corruption that is in Hollywood and the lifestyle and all 291 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.840 of the evil things that were there that I didn't 292 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.440 like at all. And it became clear that if you, 293 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:25.879 if you didn't tolerate those things, or if you didn't 294 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:29.639 participate in those things, your chances of getting that big 295 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.159 break were pretty small. So I quit all that and 296 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.200 I went to work for a large insurance company and 297 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:39.600 I got a job in an underwriting department of preparing 298 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.360 group insurance plans for corporations and that kind of thing. 299 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.799 So that's what I was doing when I decided to 300 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:50.919 start speaking out on topics. And the reason I made 301 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:53.759 that change is that I don't know who it was, 302 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.519 but somebody handed me or sent me a little blue 303 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:01.240 pamphlet called The Truth about the United Nations. I think 304 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:04.079 that was the title. I thought, the United Nations. Well, 305 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:07.319 I'd gone to school, I've been to the university. I 306 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:10.440 knew all about the United Nations. It was wonderful. It 307 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:14.680 was our last best hope for peace, they told me, 308 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:17.920 and I thought it was true, and so I was 309 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.319 very much in favor of the UN and as a 310 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:22.519 means of avoiding war. 311 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.240 And about what year was that. 312 00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:31.880 That was nineteen sixty, maybe nineteen fifty nine, Probably that 313 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:36.119 pamphlet was in nineteen fifty nine. Anyway, So I read 314 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:40.640 the pamphlet and I was incensed by it. I thought, well, 315 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:45.039 this is ridiculous. I know better, but it started. The 316 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.279 things it said were hard for me to believe that 317 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:53.519 these people were lying. That's how naive, you know, you 318 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:55.519 come out of school. How naive can you be to 319 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:57.920 think that your teachers would be lying, or the people 320 00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:59.759 who would write books might even be lying. 321 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.759 It's hard for us to believe that about other people. 322 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.799 We want to believe the best of them, and we 323 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:05.480 want to think that they're like us, you know, And 324 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.119 so we always overestimate their morals, and we underestimate their technology, 325 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:10.000 don't we. 326 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.799 We certainly do, yeah, And of course we're trained to 327 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.440 do that. I went to the public school system, and 328 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.720 that was I found out later one of its primary 329 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:21.319 objectives is to create that attitude in the minds of 330 00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:24.599 the students, so they had succeeded, and I found it. 331 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:28.559 I was very highly indignant over this pamphlet written by 332 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:31.640 college professor No less, you'd expect he would know better, right, 333 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.440 So anyway, one day I went down to the library 334 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.440 in downtown Los Angeles. There was only a few blocks 335 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.759 from where our corporate office was, and I had some 336 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:44.279 time in my hands that day, so I decided to 337 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.279 just drop into the library. I never thought i'd go 338 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.240 into a library again after I got out of school, 339 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.680 because I thought that was where you punish people for 340 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:56.079 doing bad things. And but any way, I went into 341 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.720 the International department. I wanted to check out a few 342 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.880 books on the topic of the United Nations and in 343 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:08.440 particular these wars, these peacekeeping operations as they called them, 344 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.880 and to see if I could learn more about it 345 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.400 and prove that this college professor had it, you know, 346 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.440 was wrong. So I checked out a few books, and 347 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.279 even though they were all written from the friendly perspective, 348 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:24.319 they were all friends of the UN. Many of them 349 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:30.119 were either employees or former employees, or they had positions 350 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:35.240 professional positions which depended on their being friendly. A lot 351 00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:39.119 of some of them were academics and academics, I discovered 352 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:43.319 would never dare go against the UN anyway. So I 353 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.519 read those books and I recognized that they were biased 354 00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.599 and so was That was the beginning of it reading 355 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.519 their own works, and some of them were quite frank 356 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:55.680 by the way I learned about the war and Katanga 357 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:03.279 Patrici lu Mumba. The War one Katanga and affric was 358 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:05.559 really an eye opener for me. In fact, that's how 359 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.599 I opened my book on the United Nations. It was 360 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:13.359 with that section on what happened Katanga. Basically what happened 361 00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:19.319 is that there was a communist revolution in the Congo 362 00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:25.440 with Katanga Province of the Congo, and the so called 363 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:30.240 colonial powers just left. They there was betrayal I think 364 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.559 at the highest levels in the government. I think it 365 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.079 was Belgium, and they just withdrew their troops and all 366 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:40.359 their law enforcement facilities and just gave the Congo over 367 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:44.759 to the communist revolutionaries. And that was hard to believe, 368 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:47.720 but there was an evidence. And so when the troops 369 00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:51.160 went out, there was mass slaughter going on and it 370 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.400 looked like it might be racial, but it was not. 371 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:57.960 It was economic. It was getting the colonialists out. That 372 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:00.960 was the word they use the capitalist the capitalists out 373 00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:05.480 and get the socialist in power again. So Congo went 374 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.759 into total chaos. Blood blood all over the place, and 375 00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:12.880 production stopped, the economy crash, people were starving, people were 376 00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:17.359 robbing each other. It was total chaos. I fear we're 377 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:19.759 in America going to get somewhat like see some of 378 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:24.599 that ourselves when we make that step toward total collectivism 379 00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:28.000 or socialism. Anyway, that's what happened, and so the UN 380 00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:30.240 came long A said well, look at this chaos. We've 381 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:31.680 got to put put an end to that. And they 382 00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.319 were said, yes, yes, that's what you're for. And we're 383 00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:38.279 the peacekeepers, right, yes, okay. Well the peacekeepers went in 384 00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:43.680 and there were multiple provinces in the Congo and they 385 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:49.559 were all in total blood drenched chaos except one. The 386 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:56.319 one shining exception was Katanga was headed by Moischambai and 387 00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:00.400 Moischambie had been to some universities in London and had 388 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.079 come to America, and he understood the principles of free 389 00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:09.440 enterprise capitalism and he was standing firm and and his 390 00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:13.160 his province was like it had always been, and chaos 391 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:15.000 was all around them. So where did the UN send 392 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:19.799 the peacekeepers there there. It didn't it didn't send them 393 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:21.920 any place else where the chaos was. They sent them 394 00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:26.079 where the chaos was not, and they literally overthrew the 395 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.480 Katanga province and put into chaos also. And well, when 396 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:32.680 I saw that, it documented so clearly, and in many 397 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:38.200 cases by the employees and officers of the u N itself, 398 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:42.400 uh where they bragged about doing that in their own words. 399 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:46.920 When I saw that, that changed my life, because it 400 00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:49.640 was a red pill, you might say that I saw 401 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:53.039
