Speaker 1: The following presentation Isabel Marvis Studio's production Welcome back to
Speaker 1: truth Secrets from around the world. It's time for another
Speaker 1: edition of the fact Hunter podcast as we record on
Speaker 1: this Monday, July twenty seventh, twenty twenty six. I hope
Speaker 1: this message finds you well. Wherever this message finds you,
Speaker 1: I hope you had a great weekend. If you'd like
Speaker 1: to reach out to us, the email address is the
Speaker 1: fact Hunter at mail dot com. Again, it is the
Speaker 1: fact Hunter at mail, notgmail dot com. Busy week for us,
Speaker 1: So if I don't get back to you right a way,
Speaker 1: please bear with I will get back to you. There
Speaker 1: won't be any midweek rabbit Hole podcast, but I certainly
Speaker 1: intend to do that next week. We're continuing our Exposing
Speaker 1: the Matrix series and today we're on layer ten and
Speaker 1: that is the psychological matrix, and it's how fear and distraction,
Speaker 1: which that cell phone plays such a large part of. Right,
Speaker 1: it's become quite a controlling mechanism. That three inch by
Speaker 1: five inch by you know, half inch piece of computer plastic,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, has really become an
Speaker 1: effective prison of the mind, if you will, right, and
Speaker 1: it's not built with steel bars. It's built inside our mind,
Speaker 1: and those who are in power can shape what we fear,
Speaker 1: what controls and occupies our attention. They're good at that right,
Speaker 1: that plays such a big part in the left right
Speaker 1: narrative and determine who we blame. It's those darn libs,
Speaker 1: you know, it's maga, it's this, it's that. So with
Speaker 1: psychological manipulation, physical force becomes almost unnecessary. We censor ourselves, right,
Speaker 1: We're afraid to speak truth because what a what people
Speaker 1: might think of us, or b we might lose our
Speaker 1: Facebook account. We now police our neighbors thanks to COVID.
Speaker 1: We've abandoned our rights, which you know, several decades ago
Speaker 1: even people were willing to go out and risk their
Speaker 1: freedom for. And now we even you know, this whole
Speaker 1: series exposing the Matrix talks about how we contribute to
Speaker 1: our own demise all the while we believe we are
Speaker 1: acting freely. But I'm not sure we're as free as
Speaker 1: you think we may be. And by the way, we're
Speaker 1: going to close. You can't talk about the psychological matrix
Speaker 1: with out talking about Edward Burnet, So we're going to
Speaker 1: close with that. But again, this is the psychological matrix.
Speaker 1: This is a manufactured environment in which human behavior is
Speaker 1: guided through fear, distraction, repetition, and of course division. So
Speaker 1: the objective is not merely to persuade people about one issue.
Speaker 1: It's about shaping the boundaries of acceptable thought. TV networks,
Speaker 1: social media corporations, the CIA, masad MI, five universities, foundations,
Speaker 1: advertising firms, brenees, entertainment studios. Of course, they're all part
Speaker 1: of the matrix. And with Blackrock and Vanguard, while many
Speaker 1: of these corporations may look like competitors, they're all owned
Speaker 1: by the same shareholders and the government funded nonprofits which
Speaker 1: play such a huge part in establishing what the public sees,
Speaker 1: including the textbooks and know, the medical colleges and even
Speaker 1: to a very large extent, the seminaries. So again, through
Speaker 1: the decades, the names change, but the machinery stays the same,
Speaker 1: and it stems from the Council on Foreign Relations, the
Speaker 1: Builderberg Meetings, the Trilateral Commission, World Economic Forum, the Rockefeller Foundation,
Speaker 1: the Ford Foundation, the Rand Corporation, Tavistock, on and on,
Speaker 1: all of these intelligence connected organizations that operate behind the
Speaker 1: respectable language of research public safety. Again, what we saw
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty philanthropy, which is really a cover for
Speaker 1: controlling the masses and what they call social progress. Now
Speaker 1: you have corporations such as Google, Meta, Microsoft, Disney, and Amazon,
Speaker 1: and of course the major news conglomerates. They possess unp
Speaker 1: recidented power that organize information. They amplify emotion, right, they
Speaker 1: know how you're going to react when they put this
Speaker 1: information out there, and of course they will suppress anything
Speaker 1: that challenges the narrative, and they will keep millions of
Speaker 1: people staring in the same direction. And as our email
Speaker 1: are mentioned the other day, a lot of these things
Speaker 1: are indeed distractions and fear. Fear keeps the population obedient. Right,
Speaker 1: if we're on a spinning ball hurtling through a never
Speaker 1: ending space, we could be hit by an asteroid at
Speaker 1: any moment. You know, Iran has been building nukes. They've
Speaker 1: been two weeks away from nukes since nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 1: That movie The Day After Tomorrow that came out in
Speaker 1: the early eighties was one of the most watched television
Speaker 1: shows in history. I remember the next day, I was
Speaker 1: probably in fifth grade, maybe sick. Great, everybody walking in
Speaker 1: school the next day, just you know, with their eyes
Speaker 1: open and just looking for the nuclear fallout shelters to
Speaker 1: make sure we know where to go. It was fear
Speaker 1: mongering and distraction keeps us occupied and away from the truth,
Speaker 1: and division keeps it from identifying the people and the
Speaker 1: institutions that are directing the system. Every crisis produces another
Speaker 1: demand for control. Every manufactured controversy turns neighbor against neighbor,
Speaker 1: every endless stream of entertainment, it's consuming time that should
Speaker 1: be spent praying in the Bible, raising your family, you know,
Speaker 1: being out back, having to catch with your son, getting
Speaker 1: to know your neighbor, and confronting corruption. But that's I've
Speaker 1: made that point. We've become and we I'm just as
Speaker 1: guilty as everybody else. We become so comfortable that we're
Speaker 1: afraid to exchange that comfort for discomfort, right getting out
Speaker 1: there and speaking in public and being called names. You
Speaker 1: should see the emails I get every week, folks. This
Speaker 1: layer is more than just propaganda though. It's about the
Speaker 1: deliberate exploitation of the human mind. We're going to examine
Speaker 1: how trauma right mind based fear trauma like nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: like Waco. Everybody watching Waco burning on April nineteenth, nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three. Repetition which listen. I know I used to
Speaker 1: be that guy love popular music, But when you continue
Speaker 1: to play that song, did you ever notice that if
Speaker 1: you watch a TV show or a movie, it's not
Speaker 1: like you enjoy it the same all the time, but
Speaker 1: music like I listened to led Zeppelin for probably forty years,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't until within the last couple of years
Speaker 1: I understood what was truly behind it, right, and the
Speaker 1: repetition of it and the chanting. It's very much part
Speaker 1: of this control all of it. The identity politics are veialance,
Speaker 1: which flock cameras are the big story right now. Social
Speaker 1: conditioning is used to shape our behavior. The psychological matrix
Speaker 1: doesn't require everyone to believe the same lie. That's the
Speaker 1: one thing that you need to know. It only requires
Speaker 1: that people remain afraid, distracted, divided, and too exhausted to
Speaker 1: search for the truth. And speaking of exhausted, too exhausted,
Speaker 1: I should say, I'd encourage you to go to my
Speaker 1: substack from today Monday, July twenty seventh, and go look
Speaker 1: at that substack I wrote today, And I think maybe
Speaker 1: that does contribute to much of our exhaustion that we
Speaker 1: feel today. So again, you know, this world seeks conformity.
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be that guy to walk alone that
Speaker 1: they wanted conformity through pressure and deception, and our faith
Speaker 1: renews the mind through the truth. Layer ten is where
Speaker 1: we examine the battlefield between the two. We're going to
Speaker 1: start with fear conditioning, and it begins by repeatedly pairing
Speaker 1: an image, word, group, or an event with danger until
Speaker 1: the emotional reaction becomes automatic. The person no longer examines
Speaker 1: the evidence because the nervous system has been trained to respond. First,
Speaker 1: governments have understood this for generations. The Creole Committee that
Speaker 1: cr EEL they use coordinated messaging during World War One
Speaker 1: to transform public reluctance into support for war. After nine
Speaker 1: to eleven, the Department of Homeland Security, they had the
Speaker 1: old color coded terror alerts that kept Americans in a
Speaker 1: constant state of anticipation, right even when the warnings offered
Speaker 1: little practical information. And then of course the phrase if
Speaker 1: you see something, say something. There was psychological layers to
Speaker 1: that as well. That was training people to view ordinary
Speaker 1: surroundings and sometimes one another through suspicion. Right, you had
Speaker 1: the Karens and a big apologies to all the folks
Speaker 1: named Karen had to suffer through all that. But you
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. Right twenty twenty, we're walking through
Speaker 1: Walmart and you're getting screamed at for not wearing your mask.
Speaker 1: And what's amazing to me is, if you go back
Speaker 1: to the sixties and seventies, the trust the liberals had
Speaker 1: against the government was next level, and they had flipped
Speaker 1: over the last twenty years to where they were the
Speaker 1: most obedient group of people the progressives during COVID Right.
Speaker 1: So the same method appeared during COVID right. Death counters
Speaker 1: remained on TV screens every day and all the terminology
Speaker 1: that was used, stay home, save lives, while businesses, schools, churches,
Speaker 1: and families were divided into categories of essential and non essential.
Speaker 1: And you know, to this very day, I still get
Speaker 1: emails from people about how devastated their lives are still
Speaker 1: from today, whether it's business were emotional from twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: and how we didn't stand up to that. And you can't,
Speaker 1: you know, take security over liberty because you won't have either.
Speaker 1: And that's where we are today. You know, all those
Speaker 1: people involved the CDC the nih everybody had their state
Speaker 1: health departments were giving daily briefings, and of course the
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Maderna. Even you look at
Speaker 1: all the nonprofits involved, the ones were familiar with, like
Speaker 1: the Gates Foundation, etc. But there's one that went under
Speaker 1: the radar, and you should check it out, the ad council, right,
Speaker 1: and those advertisements go out on where we air our
Speaker 1: radio on shortwave. A lot of those ad councils, they
Speaker 1: deliver remarkable consistent messaging. The behavioral component wasn't hidden by
Speaker 1: any stretch. Governments consulted behavioral science teams to increase compliance.
Speaker 1: Fear of illness was kind of combined with fear of
Speaker 1: social rejection, employment loss, which many of our listeners faced,
Speaker 1: travel restrictions which Canada our friends in Canada had to
Speaker 1: deal with and many other Australia, et cetera. And if
Speaker 1: you didn't follow the narrative, you were labeled publicly as
Speaker 1: being irresponsible. So fear conditioning also prepares the population to
Speaker 1: accept measures it would otherwise reject. The Transportation Security Administration
Speaker 1: the TSA, they turned invasive searches, body scanners, and warrantless
Speaker 1: inspection into a part of everyday life. Look at Pallunteer Technologies.
Speaker 1: They built a powerful data analysis system for defense, intelligence, immigration,
Speaker 1: and law enforcement. And now they have all these IRIS
Speaker 1: scan systems face recognitions all over the place. Look at
Speaker 1: Clearview AI. They assembled an enormous facial recognition database from
Speaker 1: images gathered across the internet at airports, et cetera. And
Speaker 1: every time this expanded, it was presented as protection from
Speaker 1: the latest threat. It's always the Hegelian dialect. The public
Speaker 1: is rarely asked whether the emergency measure will disappear when
Speaker 1: the emergency ends, and you all know this audience knows
Speaker 1: it never does. Now this next addition gets some attention,
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure it gets enough as it deserves.
Speaker 1: And that's the old dopamine addiction. That's the second mechanism
Speaker 1: within this layer. Technology companies didn't create tools people enjoy
Speaker 1: using just on that simple fact. What they did was
Speaker 1: they constructed products around behavioral reinforcement. And I noticed that recently.
Speaker 1: The games they create today are so much different than
Speaker 1: the games many of you and I played growing up.
Speaker 1: There was always a finish to the game, or it
Speaker 1: was a sports game. Sixty minutes in football, nine innings baseball.
Speaker 1: If you played you know, basically whatever game like Mario Brothers,
Speaker 1: it was to get through all the levels and win.
Speaker 1: But now like these Minecraft games, and there's just it's
Speaker 1: it's a constant dopamine hit. There's no real and I'm
Speaker 1: sure somebody's going to message me and say, oh no,
Speaker 1: there's something else to it. The point is, and this
Speaker 1: has to do with your candy crush and just people
Speaker 1: scrolling social media timelines. These endless scrolls remove a natural
Speaker 1: stopping point. Notifications create anticipation, right waiting for the next bing.
Speaker 1: You know, that next email, that next text message, that
Speaker 1: next breaking news. Likes and shares are like getting treats.
Speaker 1: My dog just popped her head up. The mended videos
Speaker 1: promise that the next clip may be even more satisfying
Speaker 1: than the last. Now, TikTok's owner Byte Dance, they built
Speaker 1: an extraordinarily effective recommendation system that learns how long a
Speaker 1: person pauses, what he replays, and what holds his attention.
Speaker 1: Now that's I don't go on there for that simple
Speaker 1: reason because they're just short thirty second and you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get caught into that constant spin.
Speaker 1: But it's interesting what they built, and they study the
Speaker 1: individual using the app, they learn what holds their attention.
Speaker 1: Snap developed streaks that make young users fear breaking a
Speaker 1: daily chain. Right, all those games today, seven day streak
Speaker 1: gotta keep going. Even Netflix, they introduced auto play so
Speaker 1: that one episode slides into another before you can make
Speaker 1: a deliberate decision. And all of this is to distract
Speaker 1: you from the important things in your world, and that
Speaker 1: is physical interactions with other human beings, studying the truth,
Speaker 1: studying the word of God, all of those things. These
Speaker 1: designs emerged from the same behavioral principles that were demonstrated
Speaker 1: in BF Skinner's experiments with variable rewards. So a predictable
Speaker 1: reward eventually becomes boring, But think of this, an unpredictable
Speaker 1: one keeps the person checking. That's why refreshing a feed
Speaker 1: resembles pulling the lever on a slot machine. And I, hey, ma,
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of doing that on X. Right. Maybe the
Speaker 1: next time I've refreshed that you feed, the big story
Speaker 1: will be there and I'm gonna have to jump into
Speaker 1: research and get it out to the masses. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes there's nothing interesting, there's something funny, shocking, you know,
Speaker 1: frightening or even personally affirming. But that uncertainty in itself
Speaker 1: strengthens the habit. Companies such as Apple, x, Ready, YouTube,
Speaker 1: and all the major mobile game developers, they compete for
Speaker 1: minutes of our attention because those minutes can be measured
Speaker 1: and packaged and sold, so the cost is not limited
Speaker 1: to wasted time. Constant simulate, or I should say stimulation.
Speaker 1: It weakens patience, silence. Our concentration is not what it
Speaker 1: used to be. People cannot stand to sit in silence
Speaker 1: and to simply contemplate things. A person who is, you know,
Speaker 1: accustomed to fifteen second clips, they're going to struggle to
Speaker 1: read just one chapter of a book or scripture without
Speaker 1: reaching for their phone. That's why in the office, when
Speaker 1: I'm getting to work, the phone's not here, and people
Speaker 1: think I'm ignoring them. I can't because if I pick
Speaker 1: it up once, I'm going to be in here much
Speaker 1: longer than I need to. So again, a person may
Speaker 1: be physically present with their spouse and children, but they're
Speaker 1: mentally and subconsciously even they're waiting for that next notification.
Speaker 1: Our mind is kept busy, but it's never settled. Informed,
Speaker 1: but not wise. The system doesn't have to forbid serious
Speaker 1: thought if it can make serious thought feel intolerable. And then,
Speaker 1: of course there's the rage cycles. And I've seen it
Speaker 1: trickle into the real world, people losing their minds over
Speaker 1: getting the wrong sauce at McDonald's, a red light. You know,
Speaker 1: there's always and angry people. But I think the things
Speaker 1: they rage out on are so silly that this contributes
Speaker 1: to why a lot of this happens, these rage cycles online.
Speaker 1: What they're doing is they're combining emotional conditioning with a
Speaker 1: digital reward. You know why, because anger produces clicks, comments,
Speaker 1: free posts, longer viewing sessions, and with organizations like X
Speaker 1: et cetera, you get paid based on the clicks and
Speaker 1: the views. That's where the term clickbait comes from. People
Speaker 1: will post something just moronic or even fake news right
Speaker 1: just to get those clicks. But you know, a simple
Speaker 1: calm explanation would be read once, but an accusation can
Speaker 1: generate thousands of reactions. And news organizations they've done this forever,
Speaker 1: Fox NN, MSNBC. They know that conflict retains audiences. And
Speaker 1: you know, up until twenty years ago, like even ESPN
Speaker 1: and those type of your morning shows they just gave
Speaker 1: you the news and yes, opinion. But then they started
Speaker 1: to see that the rage bait worked, so all the
Speaker 1: TV shows turned into just arguments online. Two or three guys,
Speaker 1: two or three women, and it's what's the subject, and
Speaker 1: we're going to argue about it. And it gets people
Speaker 1: in a rage, and it gets the clicks, but it's
Speaker 1: not really accomplishing anything. And that's why I'm not a
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of those type of platforms, but
Speaker 1: platforms that detect activity and distribute material further, so the
Speaker 1: result is a self reinforcing cycle. You have inflammatory content
Speaker 1: receives attention, Attention triggers promotion, and promotion create it's more anger,
Speaker 1: and that anger produces additional content and pr firms political
Speaker 1: organizations they exploit that through clipped videos, selective quotations, and
Speaker 1: the fake grassroots campaigns we see all the time. Cambridge Analytica,
Speaker 1: they became famous for using personal data to construct psychological
Speaker 1: profiles for political targeting, but the underlying industry they didn't
Speaker 1: vanish with that company. You had data brokers such as
Speaker 1: Axiom and Experience. They continue to assemble detailed customer profiles,
Speaker 1: while political consulting firms divide the electorate into emotional categories
Speaker 1: that can be reached with different messages, and that experience
Speaker 1: in those guys. You know, if you are a cash
Speaker 1: person and you don't like debt, they'll pun out issue
Speaker 1: for that, and that is one of those things that
Speaker 1: are going to evolve into your social credit score. It
Speaker 1: will be factored in without a doubt. So this cycle
Speaker 1: keeps ordinary people fighting horizontally while power continues vertically. The
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats are encouraged to despise each other, while
Speaker 1: major defense contractors, the banks, pharmaceuticals, lobbying firms, the nonprofits,
Speaker 1: they all retain their influence under both parties. Your Raytheons, Lockheed, Martin, Northrope, Grumman, JP, Morgan, Blackrock.
Speaker 1: They do not depend upon Americans reconciling with one another.
Speaker 1: Conflict is useful because a furious population watches the spectacle
Speaker 1: instead of following the money or you know, following legislation
Speaker 1: or asking who benefits from the next crisis. Let every
Speaker 1: man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath,
Speaker 1: for the wrath of man work, if not the righteousness
Speaker 1: of God. The system demands an instant reaction every time
Speaker 1: We refuse to be frightened on command, refuse the digital beit,
Speaker 1: refuse to hate someone that was selected for us. We
Speaker 1: break one of the psychological matrix's strongest forms of control.
Speaker 1: If you can do that, let's talk about identity politics,
Speaker 1: and it reduces human beings to competing categories race, sex, class, religion,
Speaker 1: political affiliation, and then teaches each category how each of
Speaker 1: us should resent each other instead of judging people by
Speaker 1: their character and conduct. Institutions assign collective guilt and collective victimhood.
Speaker 1: Your DEI and the Open Society foundations, the Human Rights
Speaker 1: Campaign and all these corporate consultants have helped embed this
Speaker 1: framework throughout the workplace, schools, and public life. And what
Speaker 1: it does it fractures natural bonds of family, church, community
Speaker 1: while making political identity the center of a person's existence.
Speaker 1: And then you have something that I think is more
Speaker 1: prevalent than ever, and that is depression and isolation. And
Speaker 1: I know it affects a lot of people in this
Speaker 1: community because you know, we see the world in such
Speaker 1: a different way that we lose the zest to talk
Speaker 1: about the things that, for lack of a better word,
Speaker 1: than normies want to talk about. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: Monday today, it's lunchtime, and many people are on their
Speaker 1: lunch break right now talking about whatever baseball game happened yesterday,
Speaker 1: or the latest movie, what a great ending it was,
Speaker 1: or you know, Trump's next move. That's not the way
Speaker 1: we see things, and that isolation can make people easier
Speaker 1: to influence because again, lonely individuals are seeking belonging wherever
Speaker 1: it's offered. Now, whatever you think of the whole Q
Speaker 1: movement or Q on in, it brought a lot of
Speaker 1: people that because they were truthers and they wanted to
Speaker 1: belong to a group. And again, I think in the
Speaker 1: beginning there was a lot of honesty. But here we
Speaker 1: are almost ten years later, nothing's changed. Some things have
Speaker 1: come to light, but I think a lot of that
Speaker 1: is because the hard work of the truth community itself. Now,
Speaker 1: look we're at in twenty twenty six, remote work, digital relationships.
Speaker 1: How often do we text our family members instead of
Speaker 1: calling them like we used to? Pornography which has ruined
Speaker 1: and lives broken families. And I'm here to tell you
Speaker 1: church attendance. Man, Let me tell you something you know
Speaker 1: last week we did in a Layer nine was religion
Speaker 1: and I tuned in on YouTube to our local church
Speaker 1: which is a little over ten minutes away, and they
Speaker 1: had a seventy eight year old lady there who gave probably,
Speaker 1: I would say, one of the top I've heard a
Speaker 1: lot of bad ones, but actually, front to end, one
Speaker 1: of the top ten worst sermons I've ever heard in
Speaker 1: my life. It was bad, and I forwarded to my
Speaker 1: buddy of forty years and he was it's like the
Speaker 1: things that are going on in our church today, Well,
Speaker 1: it's no wonder the church is declining. People don't want
Speaker 1: to be a part of that heresy, and the church
Speaker 1: attendance keeps people separated, and that has played such a
Speaker 1: part the loss of our neighborhood and community life, and
Speaker 1: it has left so many people surrounded by communication but
Speaker 1: starved for fellowship in person, fellowship better help in Pharmaceutical
Speaker 1: manufacturers such as Eli, Lilly and Johnson and Johnson that
Speaker 1: they make so much profit off of that nonsense for
Speaker 1: treating the consequences, while the conditions that produce this despair
Speaker 1: remain largely untouched. Right, you talk to the doctor and
Speaker 1: you tell them you know what you're struggling with. That's okay.
Speaker 1: We have a prescription for you, and if that one
Speaker 1: doesn't work, we have another prescription for you. And if
Speaker 1: you get side effects from that one, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: I have a pill for that side effects. You know,
Speaker 1: we're commanded not to forsake assembling together because again, isolation
Speaker 1: leaves the mind exposed and the spirit weakened. And this
Speaker 1: endless distraction ensures that people never remain still long enough
Speaker 1: to recognize what's going on. And you know, most people
Speaker 1: are so worked up with the latest celebrity scandal professional
Speaker 1: sports gambling app. Let me tell you, these gambling apps
Speaker 1: have become a real problem, and it kills me. Right,
Speaker 1: I grew up watching Pete Rose. He played on the
Speaker 1: Phillies for a few years I think eighty to eighty three, right,
Speaker 1: and he was not allowed in the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: because of gambling. And now you watch a game, you
Speaker 1: know it's the fifth inning DraftKings. Will Jimmy Johnson get
Speaker 1: a hit? It's hypocrisy. And again, don't like email me saying, well, bro,
Speaker 1: he bet on the same team. I get all that.
Speaker 1: My point is every sport now has put gambling on
Speaker 1: such a high pedestal, and they've normalized it right, people
Speaker 1: lose bucks a day. That's one hundred and forty bucks
Speaker 1: a week. For my truck. That's almost a full tank
Speaker 1: of gas. I've got a thirty six gallon tank. Oh man,
Speaker 1: it's painful to go to the gas station. DraftKings, FanDuel,
Speaker 1: porn Hub, Spotify, Hulu, the celebrity press, the influencers. By
Speaker 1: the way, did you see USC? I think it was.
Speaker 1: USC now offers the first major of online influencer. You
Speaker 1: can go to college, put yourself in debt, you know,
Speaker 1: fifty one hundred thousand dollars to become a professional influencer. Yep.
Speaker 1: So again they're only they only have to keep the
Speaker 1: mind moving from one appetite to the next. And that's
Speaker 1: all they need to do. Now, speaking of you, porn
Speaker 1: and poor Hub or whatever they're called. Right, You know,
Speaker 1: when you get to the subject and you find out
Speaker 1: the people who are running these things, and the name
Speaker 1: of their firm is called Ethical Capital Partners, And I
Speaker 1: almost spit out my coffee when I read that, And
Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking, what a grotesque contradiction. You know,
Speaker 1: there's somebody's daughter and son humiliating themselves because this world
Speaker 1: glorifies it and people can make a quick buck. And
Speaker 1: the only fan things that these people are celebrities. Now
Speaker 1: this is Mia Rochelle and she's got a million followers
Speaker 1: and she made fourteen million dollars last month. You can
Speaker 1: never get your dignity back, like when you It's just
Speaker 1: so brutal and as human and as men were broken.
Speaker 1: And I know some people are attracted to that trash,
Speaker 1: but it is such a soul destroyer, it really is.
Speaker 1: And you have this Solomon Friedman guy, yep, he is
Speaker 1: part of the small Hatters club. He is an ordained
Speaker 1: rabbi turned criminal defense attorney and yes, founding partner of
Speaker 1: Ethical Capital Partners. And he has become the polished public
Speaker 1: face that is used to present this empire is responsible, respectable,
Speaker 1: and properly regulated. And I think it's hilarious, not really hilarious,
Speaker 1: but you smell what I'm cooking here. The word ethical
Speaker 1: functions as corporate camouflage. It's dressing an industry of degradation
Speaker 1: and smut into the language of safety, compliance and investment management. Right,
Speaker 1: just like the Patriot Act. You would have to be
Speaker 1: anti Patriot not to love this act, you know, And yeah,
Speaker 1: Friedman doesn't operate alone. I got it right that there's
Speaker 1: law enforcement advisors and attorneys and everybody else. But behind
Speaker 1: all of them stands Lowe's interconnected collection of websites and
Speaker 1: even studios. This is not simply a man selling obscene
Speaker 1: videos from a backroomed. This is an organized corporate structure
Speaker 1: that is using lawyers to defend it, public relations to
Speaker 1: sanitize it, algorithms to distribute it, and financial infrastructure to
Speaker 1: monetize it. And Friedman's role is especially revealing because he
Speaker 1: supplies the intellectual and legal justification. And again, pornography is
Speaker 1: treated as just one of those things. It's unavoidable, it's
Speaker 1: part of life. So again, the supposed ethical response is
Speaker 1: to manage it, and boy do they profit from it.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, there is nothing ethical about
Speaker 1: building wealth from corrupting young people and the human mind.
Speaker 1: Look age verification and content moderation do not change the
Speaker 1: nature of the product. A verified adult can still destroy
Speaker 1: his marriage. I mean that pastor out of Virginia, was
Speaker 1: it Kenny Hopkins? I'm sorry if the name's wrong, but
Speaker 1: that guy spoke at my best friend's church to those
Speaker 1: youth groups and was supposed to come again in September.
Speaker 1: And if you're a youth pastor, if you have any
Speaker 1: sweet tooth, well you better get that tooth pulled or
Speaker 1: stay the heck away from the pulpit, because you destroy
Speaker 1: your life, your family's life, and those you corrupted. And
Speaker 1: the Bible's very clear. I think it might be James
Speaker 1: one to five, forgive me if I'm wrong, that says
Speaker 1: there is a special treatment for these type of people.
Speaker 1: It is just awful, even you know, people say, well,
Speaker 1: what about a consensually uploaded video that still trains a
Speaker 1: young man to associate intimacy with selfish consumption. A carefully
Speaker 1: regulated pornography site can still lead a pastor, a husband,
Speaker 1: a father, a teenager. That's why, my goodness, let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. George Hobbes at fifteen years old in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. Hmm, my goodness, gracious, well, I know
Speaker 1: my parents they would let me have one. They know
Speaker 1: I was a schemer man, and there's no way they
Speaker 1: would allow me to have one. But that stuff brings
Speaker 1: shame and what we call spiritual paralysis. The company points
Speaker 1: toward procedure because procedure allows it to avoid the deeper
Speaker 1: moral question, and what is that question. Should anyone become
Speaker 1: wealthy by feeding sexual temptation to millions of people? And
Speaker 1: it's a shame in this world that the artists, like
Speaker 1: in the music industry, they get such a smaller portion
Speaker 1: than these evil parasites that control this. But the fact
Speaker 1: that they make money off the corruption of these young people,
Speaker 1: it is just evil. And I'm not trying to compare
Speaker 1: music to the porn industry. The porn industry shouldn't exist whatsoever.
Speaker 1: This machinery is so destructive to families and listen, Christian men,
Speaker 1: because it reaches directly into the private place where outward
Speaker 1: reputation and inward life can separate. Right, someone can attend church,
Speaker 1: lead his family in prayer and profess his faith pardon me,
Speaker 1: while privately returning to images that poison his thoughts, and
Speaker 1: it hollows out his marriage. It just weakens discipline, It
Speaker 1: steals affection from the loved one. And I will tell
Speaker 1: you it will leave a life of guilt. Just I
Speaker 1: Even if you go to Google and you put in
Speaker 1: you know pastor arrested pastor this, It's just so. And
Speaker 1: that's why Psalm one eighteen eight is so important. Don't
Speaker 1: put your trust in man, put your trust in the
Speaker 1: Lord man. It's going to fall. But this industry understands
Speaker 1: that shame. It keeps the customer silent. Silent prevents confession.
Speaker 1: Silence prevents accountability, which we see all the time, and
Speaker 1: that silence keeps the cash flowing. So Solomon Friedman and
Speaker 1: Ethical Capital Partners, they call themselves responsible, but they are heathens,
Speaker 1: they are reprobates. They need to repent and close their doors.
Speaker 1: They truly, truly do you know a company cannot place
Speaker 1: the word ethical over an empire that profits whenever another
Speaker 1: husband falls, another marriage suffers, and another Christian man becomes
Speaker 1: enslaved behind a lock screen and listen, I'm not here
Speaker 1: to blame. You can't put your blame on a cell
Speaker 1: phone or a website for your misgivings. But they're not
Speaker 1: helping it either. Next we'll talk about social fragmentation and
Speaker 1: what that does. It breaks society into disconnected individuals who
Speaker 1: no longer possess these strong local relationships or shelled loyalties.
Speaker 1: We really enjoy going to the on Wednesdays out here.
Speaker 1: We have auctions and it's nice just to be within
Speaker 1: the community of farmers and say hello and the Amish
Speaker 1: are there selling coffee and pretzels and things like that.
Speaker 1: So it's important to be a part of community. Yeah, families,
Speaker 1: scattering neighborhoods become collections of strange and we've seen so
Speaker 1: many small businesses just disappear over the last six years.
Speaker 1: And these community institutions surrender authority to these distant bureaucracies.
Speaker 1: Corporations such as Walmart, private equity chains replace local ownership,
Speaker 1: while centralized school systems and these professional organizations assume responsibilities
Speaker 1: that were once carried by the parents, the church, and neighbors.
Speaker 1: The individual becomes increasingly dependent upon institutions that know nothing
Speaker 1: about him personally and cannot love him. Emotional manipulation keeps
Speaker 1: that fragmented population moving according to engineered feelings. You have
Speaker 1: these advertising conglomerates omnicon, WPP. What they do is they
Speaker 1: employee behavioral data, psychological testing, color music, sexual images, and
Speaker 1: carefully selected language to bypass deliberate judgment. Political consultants and
Speaker 1: firms such as McKenzie. They package policies through slogans, focus groups,
Speaker 1: and emotional narratives. The product may be a candidate, medication,
Speaker 1: military action, or corporate agenda, but the method remains the same.
Speaker 1: Create the desired feeling first, then provide the approved action
Speaker 1: as the emotional release learned. Helplessness develops when people repeatedly
Speaker 1: encounter problems they believe cannot change. Right, taxes rise, well,
Speaker 1: nothing I can do about it. I heard this the
Speaker 1: other day. Gas prices once again. We're going to be
Speaker 1: hitting five dollars soon. Well, we got to drive anyway,
Speaker 1: Nothing you can do about it. All the while, agencies
Speaker 1: multiply automated systems replace human assistance, elections produce the same outcomes,
Speaker 1: and faceless corporations dictate the daily terms of life. Right,
Speaker 1: how many times do we say black Rock Vanguard, black
Speaker 1: Rock Vanguard? But who are the names involved with them?
Speaker 1: And after enough failed attempts to resist, most people stop
Speaker 1: attempting altogether. They say, well, nothing can be done, and
Speaker 1: they simply accept the conditions that their fathers and forefathers
Speaker 1: would have never tolerated. That resignation is immensely valuable and
Speaker 1: entrenched power, because a defeated population does not need to
Speaker 1: be physically conquered, It is already surrendered internally. So the
Speaker 1: deeper result is mental exhaustion. The modern mind is assaulted
Speaker 1: from morning until night, by your alerts, advertisements, emergencies, the
Speaker 1: latest controversy, the next bill, right, Israel joining up with
Speaker 1: America's military, all of them. People aren't simply tired because
Speaker 1: they work. An exhausted person loses the strength to investigate,
Speaker 1: to resist, to pray, or to think several moves ahead.
Speaker 1: It defeats you know, deep thinking and constructive, you know thinking,
Speaker 1: and that person will eventually accept whatever promises immediate relief.
Speaker 1: And you know that leads us to the one and
Speaker 1: only Edward Burneith. He lived to be geez, what a
Speaker 1: is this? Right? He lived to be one hundred and
Speaker 1: three And you know, longtime listeners know his name. We've
Speaker 1: talked about him a nauseum. He's best known for campaigns
Speaker 1: that included a nineteen twenty nine effort to promote female
Speaker 1: smoking because most women didn't smoke. Part of that and
Speaker 1: the second companies were like, we're missing half a customer base.
Speaker 1: So he came up with the Torches of Freedom. He
Speaker 1: was connected with the CIA orchestrated overthrow of the democratically
Speaker 1: elected Guatemalan government in nineteen fifty four. He worked for
Speaker 1: all the big organizations Proctor G. Procter and gamble, pardon
Speaker 1: me and ge and his I think it's his great
Speaker 1: nephew works for Netflix, and I'm going to pause and
Speaker 1: get that confirm that information confirmed. His name is Mark
Speaker 1: Randolph and he is also part of the club. And
Speaker 1: he was born to a Jewish family in Chappaqua, New York.
Speaker 1: And one of Ralf's paternal great grand uncles was psychoanalys
Speaker 1: pioneer Sigmund Freud, and the other was Edward Berneze. And
Speaker 1: it's I find it so funny that the grand nephew
Speaker 1: of Edward Burne's runs a company that most Americans have
Speaker 1: a subscription to. Right, And this article is written by
Speaker 1: Richard Gunderman, and the article is from The Conversation, and
Speaker 1: it's entitled The Manipulation of the American Mind, Edward Burnez
Speaker 1: and the Birth of public Relations. The most interesting man
Speaker 1: in the world, reach out and touch someone finger licking good.
Speaker 1: Such advertising slogans have now become fixtures of American culture,
Speaker 1: and each year millions now tune into the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: as much for the ads as for the football. While
Speaker 1: no single person can claim exclusive credit for the ascendancy
Speaker 1: of advertising an American life, no one deserves credit more
Speaker 1: than any man than Edward Burne's. I first encountered Burnee
Speaker 1: to an article I was writing on propaganda, and it
Speaker 1: quickly became clear that he was one of the twentieth
Speaker 1: century's foremost salesman of ideas. The fact that twenty years
Speaker 1: have elapsed since his death provides a fitting opportunity to
Speaker 1: re examine his legacy. Often referred to as the father
Speaker 1: of pr Bernese, in nineteen twenty eight published his seminal
Speaker 1: work Propaganda, in which he argued that public relations is
Speaker 1: not a gimmick but a necessity. The conscious and intelligent
Speaker 1: manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses
Speaker 1: is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate
Speaker 1: this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government, which
Speaker 1: is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed,
Speaker 1: our minds are molded, our tastes are formed, and our
Speaker 1: ideas suggested largely by men we have never heard of.
Speaker 1: It is they who pull the wires that control the
Speaker 1: public mind. He was born in eighteen ninety one, the
Speaker 1: Sigmund Freud published one of his earliest papers. Bernese was
Speaker 1: also Freud's nephew twice over. His mother was Freud's sister Anna,
Speaker 1: and his father, Eli Burnese, was the brother of Freud's
Speaker 1: wife Martha. So the year after his birth, the Bernese
Speaker 1: family moved to New York, and he later graduated for
Speaker 1: Cornell from Cornell Partony with a degree in agriculture, but
Speaker 1: instead of farming, he chose a career in journalism, and
Speaker 1: he eventually helped the Woodrow Wilson administration promote the idea
Speaker 1: that the US efforts in World War One were intended
Speaker 1: to bring democracy in Europe, and they still use that today.
Speaker 1: We're bringing democracy to Venezuela, We're bringing democracy to Iraq
Speaker 1: and Afghanistan. Do you remember the big deal they made
Speaker 1: about the Iraqi's voting with they were putting their fingers
Speaker 1: in the ink propaganda they put in office who they
Speaker 1: wanted continuing. Having seen how effective propaganda could be during war,
Speaker 1: Burnes wondered whether it might prove equally useful during peacetime.
Speaker 1: Yet propaganda had acquired a somewhat pejorative connotation, which would,
Speaker 1: by the way, be further magnified in World War II.
Speaker 1: So Burnees promoted the new term public relations, and he
Speaker 1: drew on the insights of his uncle Sigmund. A relationship
Speaker 1: Burne's was always quick to mension. He developed an approach
Speaker 1: he dubbed the engineering of consent. He provided leaders the
Speaker 1: means to control and regiment the masses according to our
Speaker 1: will without their knowing about it. So to do so,
Speaker 1: it was necessary to appeal not to the rational part
Speaker 1: of the mind, but to the subconscious, and Burnees acquired
Speaker 1: an oppressive list of clients, ge Procter and Gamble, the
Speaker 1: American tobacco Company, media outlets like CBS, even politicians such
Speaker 1: as Calvin Coolidge. To counteract President Coolidge as stiff image,
Speaker 1: Burne's organized a pancake breakfast and white house concerts with
Speaker 1: Al Jolson and other Broadway performers, and with Burne's help,
Speaker 1: Coolidge won the nineteen twenty four election. Burne's publicity campaigns
Speaker 1: were the stuff of legend. To overcome sales resistance to
Speaker 1: cigarette smoking among women, Burne staged a demonstration at the
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine Easter Parade, having fashionable young women flaunt
Speaker 1: their quote torches of freedom at an Easter parade of
Speaker 1: all things. He promoted lucky strikes by convincing woman that
Speaker 1: the forest green hue of the cigarette pack was among
Speaker 1: the most fashionable of colors, and the success of this
Speaker 1: effort was manifested in innumerable window displays and fashion shows
Speaker 1: in the nineteen thirties. He promoted cigarettes as both soothing
Speaker 1: to the throat and slimming to the waistline. But at home,
Speaker 1: Burnees was attempting to persuade his own wife to kick
Speaker 1: the habit. When would When he would, I should say,
Speaker 1: find a pack of her parliaments in their home, he
Speaker 1: would snap every one of them in half and throw
Speaker 1: them in the toilet. While promoting cigarettes as soothing and slimming, Burnez,
Speaker 1: as it seems, was quite aware of the studies linking
Speaker 1: smoking to cancer. Now he even used the same techniques
Speaker 1: on children to convince kids that bathing could be fun.
Speaker 1: He sponsored soap sculpture competitions and floating contests. These were
Speaker 1: designed to prove that ivory bars were more buoyant than
Speaker 1: competing products, and he used fear to sell products. So
Speaker 1: for Dixie cups, Burne's launched a campaign to scare people
Speaker 1: into thinking that only disposable cups were sanitary. As part
Speaker 1: of this campaign, he founded the Committee for the study
Speaker 1: and promotion of the sanitary dispensing and food and drink.
Speaker 1: So his ideas sold a lot more than cigarettes and
Speaker 1: Dixie cups. That's the biggest part here. Even though Burnet
Speaker 1: saw the power of propaganda during war and used it
Speaker 1: to sell during peacetime, he couldn't have imagined that his
Speaker 1: writings on public relations would have such a tool on
Speaker 1: the third rank, right, we all know. In the twenties,
Speaker 1: Joseph Goebbels he became an admirer of Burne's and his writings,
Speaker 1: even though Burne's was a jew which was extremely interesting.
Speaker 1: So again, while Burnet's writings furnish isn't a principal or
Speaker 1: tradition by which to evaluate the appropriateness of propaganda, but
Speaker 1: simply a means of shaping public opinion for any purpose,
Speaker 1: whether beneficial to human beings or not. So that observation
Speaker 1: led Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter to warn President Roosevelt
Speaker 1: allowing Berneze to play a leadership role during World War Two.
Speaker 1: That judge described him and his colleagues as professional poisoners
Speaker 1: of the public mind, exploiters of foolishness, fanticism, and self interest.
Speaker 1: I think today we might call Burne's pioneering a form
Speaker 1: of branding, but at its core it represents little more
Speaker 1: than a particularly brazen set of techniques that is used
Speaker 1: to manipulate. And you can't really use any other word
Speaker 1: to manipulate people to get them to do your bidding. Now,
Speaker 1: what is the underlying purpose? Yes, in large part it
Speaker 1: was to make money, But by convincing people that they
Speaker 1: want something they don't need, Burne sought to turn citizens
Speaker 1: and neighbors into consumers who use their purchasing power to
Speaker 1: propel themselves down the road of happiness. Without a moral compass.
Speaker 1: Such a transformation promotes a patronizing and ultimately cynical view
Speaker 1: of human nature and human possibilities. One is likely to
Speaker 1: destroy lives as to build them up. And you know,
Speaker 1: the name Edward Burne's really needs to get out there.
Speaker 1: I think over the last five years against COVID his
Speaker 1: name has gotten out there. But you know, there's a
Speaker 1: book out there that you should I think it was
Speaker 1: by Sheldon Rampton, and it's called Toxic Sludge Is Good
Speaker 1: for You. But one of Burnet's biggest coups was and
Speaker 1: you know, you could call it his most influential acts
Speaker 1: happened in the mid to late forties. Again that transformation
Speaker 1: from forty five into the fifties was so transformational. He
Speaker 1: was hired by ALCOA and that stands for the Aluminum
Speaker 1: Company of America. And what he did was orchestrate a
Speaker 1: public relations campaign to convince the public that purchasing Alcoa's
Speaker 1: highly neuro toxic and cellular toxic by crop pie product
Speaker 1: pardon me, which are the fluoride salts to willingly fluoridate
Speaker 1: the nation's drinking water supplies under the guys of preventing
Speaker 1: tooth decay. So Alcoa was spending so much money getting
Speaker 1: rid of the waste. They hired Bernets and he convinced
Speaker 1: people to take this highly neurotoxic and cellular I'm struggling today, guys,
Speaker 1: cellular toxic byproduct, these fluoride salts willingly put them in
Speaker 1: the nation's drinking water supply. It was one of his
Speaker 1: most successful campaigns, with some state legislators passing laws that
Speaker 1: compelled reluctant municipalities to fluoridate their water with toxic waste
Speaker 1: product that had notoriously poisoned soil, water, air, and all
Speaker 1: of the living things that had surrounded Alcoa's manufacturing plants
Speaker 1: for decades. The aluminium industry profited greatly. And there's a
Speaker 1: reason why the countries that fluoridate their water have the
Speaker 1: highest cancer rates, because they drink the fluoridated water. They
Speaker 1: use sunscreen and the acne cream which I had sent
Speaker 1: an email to one of our listeners. It might have
Speaker 1: been Sunday, right, and the benzene is cancerous. They want
Speaker 1: you to believe you're getting the skin cancer from the sun. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: You know, an attorney by the name of Oscar Ewing
Speaker 1: paid about seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year
Speaker 1: back in the day. This Alcoa lawyer was appointed by
Speaker 1: Harry Truman as head of the US Public Health Service,
Speaker 1: and again he was obedient to the hidden agenda of
Speaker 1: the aluminium industry. So he and Burnez orchestrated this national
Speaker 1: fluoridation campaign that, over several years fluoridated some ninety American cities.
Speaker 1: Now there were opponents to the fluoride program saying that
Speaker 1: there is now and now proven, or there was now
Speaker 1: proven a conspiracy occurring between industry and government, and those
Speaker 1: people were painted as deranged conspiracy theorists. It's just unbelievable, right,
Speaker 1: and that's what they do to truthers. People knew how
Speaker 1: often it was going to be for people's health, and
Speaker 1: they're just labeled. Right, O, don't get out of it.
Speaker 1: You're deranged. This is going to help your teeth. Okay,
Speaker 1: whatever you say about please put that go. Look at
Speaker 1: the Alcoa plant. I think it was an organ somewhere.
Speaker 1: Everything around the vicinity was just dead from all the
Speaker 1: fluoride waste. I have an idea. Let's put it in
Speaker 1: our drinking water. There you go. Layer ten, the psychological matrix.
