Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Mark Mas Show.
Speaker 1: Where we're always talking about the decentralized revolution, we're talking
Speaker 1: about the way the world is changing. Of course, we're
Speaker 1: always looking at through the lens of politics, finance, and technology.
Speaker 2: Technology is always what changes the world.
Speaker 1: It changes the way that we work, organized, communicate, and
Speaker 1: so then politics and finance changes around it. Of course,
Speaker 1: the technology that's changing the world is bitcoining this decentralized revolutions.
Speaker 1: Why we frame that up today we have a big show.
Speaker 1: I want to dig in deep into some changes that
Speaker 1: are happening as this deglobalization, as is decentralization happens.
Speaker 2: I've been talking about this for.
Speaker 1: A really long time, and this story is escalated and
Speaker 1: it really highlights exactly where we're at in this two hundred.
Speaker 2: And fifty year political revolution where the.
Speaker 1: World pendulum swings from decentralization, maxes out at centralization and
Speaker 1: starts to swing back to decentralization, which is.
Speaker 2: Exactly where we're at.
Speaker 1: So if you want to know what the heck is
Speaker 1: going on in the world, what this means, and more importantly,
Speaker 1: where we're going so you can prepare, then this is
Speaker 1: one that you want to listen to today. Now, A
Speaker 1: lot of people tell me, Mark, what do you mean
Speaker 1: that the pendulum swinging back towards decentralization because everything I
Speaker 1: see is more centralization. Well, you have to understand that
Speaker 1: the pendulum swing is long. It's a two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty year arc, so over a fifty year period, it's
Speaker 1: basically sitting up in that centralization period. However, in times
Speaker 1: like this is when all the change happens. Inside the
Speaker 1: two and fifty year cycle, there's eighty four year cycles,
Speaker 1: and it's been popularized by the book Fourth Turning, which
Speaker 1: is basically in this eighty year cycle, there's four twenty
Speaker 1: year cycles. If you're familiar with this, and if you're
Speaker 1: not a spoiler alert here, but at this last turning,
Speaker 1: the fourth turning, in this fourth twenty year cycle is
Speaker 1: when all the change happens. That's why you hear the
Speaker 1: famous quote I've often used of Vladimir Lenin. The infamous
Speaker 1: quote should say from Vladimir Linin is that there's decades
Speaker 1: where nothing seems to happen, and then there's days where
Speaker 1: decades seem to happen.
Speaker 2: So that's where we're at.
Speaker 1: We're witnessing literally decades happening and seeming in days, and
Speaker 1: it seems like the world is just spiraling out of
Speaker 1: control to those that aren't happy with it. Maybe some
Speaker 1: people are very happy with the way the world is progressing.
Speaker 1: But I want to break this down so you can
Speaker 1: understand this from a play by play level, because it's
Speaker 1: sort of like the proverbial frog and the boiling pot
Speaker 1: of water, so to speak. Right where like sometimes if
Speaker 1: you're just living in it and you're you know, you're
Speaker 1: busy focusing on your on your business, your family, which
Speaker 1: things that you should be for sure, you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: absorbing yourself too much in these these issues because they
Speaker 1: don't really mean anything to you daily, but it is
Speaker 1: important to understand where things are going. And so some
Speaker 1: of the signposts we see is that as the world
Speaker 1: is leaving centralization, the central power, so as the federal
Speaker 1: government United States continue to get stronger, stronger, stronger, but
Speaker 1: not just the United States, the central power of the UN,
Speaker 1: the United Nations, the IMF, the World Economic Forum, the
Speaker 1: G seven. But as the people are starting to reject
Speaker 1: their power, each forceat requires an equal and opposite reaction.
Speaker 1: Squeeze harder to try to retain power. We can see
Speaker 1: this in many examples, and I want to dig into
Speaker 1: one today, one that I'm super passionate about because I'm
Speaker 1: a content creator. Here I am talking to you and
Speaker 1: trying to explain this to you. I'm trying to give
Speaker 1: you perspective on these things. I believe that freedom above all,
Speaker 1: and I believe freedom of speech is the most fundamental right,
Speaker 1: freedom of speech and freedom to transact. And so I
Speaker 1: can still remember several years ago the first time I
Speaker 1: found myself creating content for my YouTube channel and self
Speaker 1: censoring myself, and I remember the feelings specifically of how
Speaker 1: sad I was to think that here I am an
Speaker 1: American and inside the United States, and I'm having to
Speaker 1: self censor myself. And it's been a while now and
Speaker 1: I've had to deal with this, but it's not getting
Speaker 1: better at this point.
Speaker 2: It's only getting worse.
Speaker 1: However, we're getting lots of tools that are helping us
Speaker 1: to evade this, so that's the pushing back part, and
Speaker 1: so then the state has to squeeze down even more.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I told my wife, I think it was sometime last year,
Speaker 1: I said, you know, there's probably a chance in the
Speaker 1: next two years, I won't be able to continue doing
Speaker 1: what I'm doing living inside the United States. Me growing
Speaker 1: up in the land of the Free. I have the
Speaker 1: statue of Liberty and American flag tattooed on my body.
Speaker 2: I bleed red, white, and blue.
Speaker 1: My father, my father in law both fought in Vietnam,
Speaker 1: my grandfather in World War Two. I bleed for this country.
Speaker 1: I'm an American patriot. And so for me to have
Speaker 1: to even tell my wife, hey, just heads up, probably
Speaker 1: in the next two years, I'm either gonna we will
Speaker 1: either have to leave the United States or I'm going
Speaker 1: to have to find a new job.
Speaker 2: And while that seemed like hyperbrile at.
Speaker 1: The time, the time is pretty much here. So let's
Speaker 1: break this down.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: We know, if you're listening to me, you know not
Speaker 1: everybody knows this. People in China know this, people in
Speaker 1: Russia know this, Not everyone in America knows this. That
Speaker 1: mainstream media, which is no longer mainstreaming and where I'll
Speaker 1: call it legacy media. Now, legacy media is nothing but propaganda. Now,
Speaker 1: if you listening to me, you already know this, and
Speaker 1: you can see this everywhere. You know that CNN and
Speaker 1: CNBC and ABC is all propaganda with an agenda.
Speaker 2: Now you could say that the other side.
Speaker 1: I guess might be Fox News probably has an agenda
Speaker 1: as well, And so everybody's starting to realize this, and
Speaker 1: so they're not watching anymore. I talked to someone from
Speaker 1: China a couple years ago, and I remember them specifically saying,
Speaker 1: why does everybody in America watch the news? And I'm like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean, why wouldn't they watch the news,
Speaker 1: And they said, because in China we all know that
Speaker 1: the news is propaganda. And I think people are starting
Speaker 1: to wake up to that. Old mainstream media now legacy
Speaker 1: media is propaganda, which is why CNN is now on
Speaker 1: their third president, a CEO president in eighteen months. They
Speaker 1: are losing viewers. They are hemorrhaging viewers faster than they
Speaker 1: can They're top rated shows in primetime gets a few
Speaker 1: hundred thousand views, a few hundred thousand views.
Speaker 2: My main YouTube channel, Mark Moss. If you're not tu
Speaker 2: indiend should check it out.
Speaker 1: I get that many views sometimes on my videos, not consistently,
Speaker 1: but sometimes I do. I've had over a million views
Speaker 1: on some of my videos and I'm nothing. You got
Speaker 1: the Joe Rogan's of the world getting two hundred million
Speaker 1: views in a month. Tucker Carlston on Fox News would
Speaker 1: get more views than all of those other legacy media
Speaker 1: sources combined. And now that he's gone from Fox and
Speaker 1: he's on Twitter, he's like ten x that. I don't
Speaker 1: have the exact stats in front of it, but I
Speaker 1: do know that when Fox hosted the Republican Debate, the
Speaker 1: first one, they had thirteen million people tuned in to
Speaker 1: watch that, while Tucker Carlson, streaming on X formerly Twitter,
Speaker 1: had Donald Trump on there and got over one hundred.
Speaker 2: And fifty million.
Speaker 1: So thirteen million sounds like a lot once cna' is
Speaker 1: getting a few hundred thousand, but you have Tucker Carlson
Speaker 1: getting one hundred and fifty million views, you have the
Speaker 1: Joe rogans's' two hundre million views, And so the powers
Speaker 1: that be the government they do not like this, which
Speaker 1: is why, of course they've been working to collude with
Speaker 1: these platforms to censor your speech. Now, you might say
Speaker 1: that people shouldn't be able to say harmful things, but
Speaker 1: you have to understand that freedom of speech, or I
Speaker 1: should say censoring of speech, is also censoring your ability
Speaker 1: to hear you might say, hey, they shouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to say what they say, but that means you don't
Speaker 1: get to hear what you need to hear.
Speaker 2: And this is a perfect example that I want to
Speaker 2: dig into.
Speaker 1: Specifically, let's dig past this big picture stuff and let's
Speaker 1: get into the weeds, and I want to talk about
Speaker 1: what the heck is going on in Canada right now,
Speaker 1: because if don't understand what's happening in Canada, you're gonna
Speaker 1: unerstand what's happen in the United States and wherever else
Speaker 1: you're coming and wherever it's coming to you in the world,
Speaker 1: specifically Europe, most of the G seven basically is where
Speaker 1: it's really happening. So what the heck is going on
Speaker 1: in Canada?
Speaker 2: Canada? You know, Canada, a country once known as.
Speaker 1: Being a beacon of democracy, a beacon of freedom, very
Speaker 1: similar to the United States, a democratic place which is
Speaker 1: now spiraling very quickly into an authoritarian state, a communist
Speaker 1: state if you will, using of course, the tools of censorship.
Speaker 1: You don't have to, you don't have to censor the truth.
Speaker 1: The truth will win. The truth wins open honest debate
Speaker 1: only when your ideas are horrible.
Speaker 2: And their lies do you have to censor the truth?
Speaker 1: Otherwise, if your ideas were good, they would win. Your
Speaker 1: ideas would win in debate. Only when you have lies,
Speaker 1: do you have to censor? And so I want to
Speaker 1: talk about what is going on just in Canada. Recently
Speaker 1: they've passed two laws, two bills that have very quickly,
Speaker 1: like within weeks, reshaped what is going on in Canada.
Speaker 1: And again you need to understand this if you produce content,
Speaker 1: if you like to consume content, if you'd like to
Speaker 1: get good information, if you live in Canada, and if
Speaker 1: you live anywhere in the G seven, you need to
Speaker 1: know what's going on because this is ramping up quick.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: You probably know that Canada jumped the shark, if you will,
Speaker 1: when the truck or protests happened and they quickly went
Speaker 1: to go seize that everybody involved, any of these protesters
Speaker 1: bank accounts. They froze the bank accounts, and so you know,
Speaker 1: it's important to make sure that not all of your
Speaker 1: money is in the bank. I like to say, only
Speaker 1: keep money in the bank that you're willing to lose. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're just tuning, you're listening to the Mark Maus Show,
Speaker 1: we're breaking down how this world is changing very rapidly,
Speaker 1: and censorship is creeping through Canada, and we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that in the United States as well. I got a
Speaker 1: whole lot to cover on the show. You don't want
Speaker 1: to miss It'll be right back. Don't go away, all right,
Speaker 1: Welcome back. If you're just tune in, you're listening to
Speaker 1: the Mark Ma Show. We're always talking about the decentralized revolution,
Speaker 1: how the world is changing, and today we're talking specifically
Speaker 1: about well, as always politics, finance, and technology, we're talking
Speaker 1: about more specifically politics and technology and how the politics
Speaker 1: are using the technology to control us through censorship. But
Speaker 1: censorship isn't just about what we can say, it's also
Speaker 1: what we can hear. And then if it's about what
Speaker 1: we can say in here, then it's about what we think,
Speaker 1: all right. So this is the ultimate form of control now.
Speaker 1: As I was saying, Canada has been sort of this
Speaker 1: just like like the United States. It's our our neighbors
Speaker 1: in the north, it's our friends living in our attic,
Speaker 1: as my friend Greg Foss would say. But you know,
Speaker 1: a freedom loving nation, a demoocratically run nation that has
Speaker 1: now quickly transformed itself into one of the most authoritarian.
Speaker 2: States and it's very, very scary.
Speaker 1: And as I was saying, in this short time, we've
Speaker 1: seen just step after step after step recent developments around
Speaker 1: Canada that is, like I said, quickly, very quickly turning
Speaker 1: into this authoritary in state. So let's talk about some
Speaker 1: of this now to kind of frame this up. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about a tweet from Chamath Tamoth is
Speaker 1: a famous investor, early investor into Facebook, you know, I
Speaker 1: think he's a billionaire at this point, and he talked
Speaker 1: about how he put out a tweet and he said
Speaker 1: that over the past two days a part of a
Speaker 1: broader trend that is scary. A western g eight countries
Speaker 1: that's one of the top eight countries in the world,
Speaker 1: who is slowly losing its identity. A government without a
Speaker 1: clear majority. So what kind of a democracy doesn't have
Speaker 1: a majority, an unskilled, but highly ambitious, smooth talking beneficiary
Speaker 1: of nepotism as its leader.
Speaker 2: I think that's true. We'll break all this down and.
Speaker 1: Establishment that rewards rewards virtue signaling more than value creation,
Speaker 1: just a bunch of talk and don't produce anything, all
Speaker 1: right now, he said, these are the boundary conditions that
Speaker 1: slowly vier a country into becoming a judgmental, authoritarian state
Speaker 1: where some hero like Trudeaux self annoys himself on behalf
Speaker 1: of everyone else to.
Speaker 2: Come in and save the day.
Speaker 1: Now, this is the same hero who calls other Canadians
Speaker 1: who protest the loss of freedom and civil liberties, he
Speaker 1: calls them Nazis. Remember the Trucker protests. They are Nazis,
Speaker 1: they want freedom, they must be Nazis. But then he
Speaker 1: actually brings a real, actual Nazi into Parliament and gives
Speaker 1: them a standing ovation. And then when he's called out
Speaker 1: on it, he says, this Russian misinformation. Now, what's even
Speaker 1: more scary because the media called him out over this,
Speaker 1: than he has to silence the media. Look, there's never
Speaker 1: been a time in anywhere in history that the good
Speaker 1: guys censored speech. The people censer and speech have never
Speaker 1: been on the right side. Again, truth wins an open,
Speaker 1: honest debate. The only reason you have to censor is
Speaker 1: because people are speaking truth that you don't want others
Speaker 1: to hear. So when he was called out for calling
Speaker 1: other people Nazis and then literally bringing an actual Nazi
Speaker 1: up and the legacy media called him out on it,
Speaker 1: then he has to figure, well, what I need to
Speaker 1: do is just censor the media, so they can no
Speaker 1: longer do that, and so they've passed two bills that
Speaker 1: I want to break down for you. It's important to
Speaker 1: understand this, and it's basically bringing media and citizen journalists
Speaker 1: under his thumb to control the information flow. All right, Now,
Speaker 1: if we break this down a little bit, it gets
Speaker 1: pretty scary. And like I said, it's not just the
Speaker 1: G seven or the G eight. It's coming to a
Speaker 1: country near you now. Of course, if you're in China,
Speaker 1: if you're in North Korea, you're already dealing with this.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: We can see this happening with Jordan Peterson. If you've
Speaker 1: been following along Jordan Peterson. They're trying to censor him,
Speaker 1: they're trying to control him. But we know that, like
Speaker 1: I said, this is a rising core issue with Canadians.
Speaker 1: A recent poll found that seventy percent of Canadians believe
Speaker 1: that the Canadian government is becoming too authoritarian. Seventy percent.
Speaker 1: So in a democracy mob rule. I'm not a big
Speaker 1: fan of democracy. If you want to know why, I
Speaker 1: read the book Democracy the God that failed to understand this.
Speaker 1: But it's a tyranny of the minority by the majority.
Speaker 1: Democracy supposed to be the majority. So if seventy percent
Speaker 1: of the people don't like Canadian being too authoritarian, then
Speaker 1: shouldn't the government listen to that and change. We can
Speaker 1: see a group of Canadian academics of publish an open
Speaker 1: letter warning the Canadian government that they're undermining the foundations
Speaker 1: of Canadian democracy. A group of Canadian citizens have launched
Speaker 1: a lawsuit against the Canadian government alleging that it's recent
Speaker 1: actions are violating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Now, again,
Speaker 1: in a democracy, it should be the majority. But justin
Speaker 1: Trudeau won the twenty twenty one Canadian federal election with
Speaker 1: only thirty two percent of the popular vote.
Speaker 2: That's not even a third, So it.
Speaker 1: Certainly no majority. It's certainly not a democracy if that's
Speaker 1: how it is. But yet we have this minority group
Speaker 1: running the government.
Speaker 2: So I don't want to.
Speaker 1: Get super deep into the political side and how that
Speaker 1: happened and what that means.
Speaker 2: There's a lot they get to dig into there.
Speaker 1: But I want to talk specifically about what is going
Speaker 1: on right now with the laws that are passed, because,
Speaker 1: as I said, I told my wife, probably within two years,
Speaker 1: I won't be able to do this here in the
Speaker 1: United States, and here it is over in over, it
Speaker 1: is in Canada, and probably coming to a country near
Speaker 1: you now real quickly, just to sort of understand this,
Speaker 1: let's just understand who Trudeau is. So Trudeau came to
Speaker 1: power from his father, who was a very affluent politician
Speaker 1: as well, but Trudeau had no prior experience in government
Speaker 1: or business. He was elected Prime minister in twenty fifteen
Speaker 1: at the age of forty three, after his father, Pierre Trudeau,
Speaker 1: served as the prime minister from sixty eight to eighty four.
Speaker 1: In two thousand and seven, Trudeau start in a two
Speaker 1: part CBC television miniseries called The Great War, which gave
Speaker 1: an account of Canada's participation in the.
Speaker 2: First World War.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't know what it is with these authoritarian
Speaker 1: leaders being former actors like Zelenski. Maybe it's because they
Speaker 1: can act very well like they.
Speaker 2: Care about the country. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But the Chueau family had a lot of wealth. They
Speaker 1: had a lot of fortune, but they used businesses, they
Speaker 1: created value. In order to create that fortune, the grandfather
Speaker 1: had to accumulated this fortune by building gas stations around Montreal.
Speaker 2: He created a loyalty program sort of like a.
Speaker 1: Triple A club over there, and he provided value to people,
Speaker 1: and he created lots of income and lots of wealth
Speaker 1: by providing lots of value. But sort of like the
Speaker 1: fourth turning this generational theory, by the time it gets
Speaker 1: down to Justin Trudeau the grandson, he doesn't do anything.
Speaker 1: The only thing that he's done is trying to tell
Speaker 1: other people what to do without ever having done anything himself.
Speaker 1: And so he's created this establishment of virtue signaling instead
Speaker 1: of value creation because he's never done that before.
Speaker 2: So what do we mean?
Speaker 1: Well, like I said, celebrating an actual Nazi in parliament,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too deep into that again.
Speaker 1: I want to kind of stay out of the weeds
Speaker 1: in the political side because I don't believe what's happening
Speaker 1: right now is a political issue.
Speaker 2: And what do I mean by that.
Speaker 1: I don't believe that freedom is right wing or left wing.
Speaker 1: I don't believe it's extremist, It's just freedom. Why is
Speaker 1: that political? So I don't want to go into left
Speaker 1: or right or liberal democrat. It's just let's look at
Speaker 1: the factual laws here now, as I said, Canada is
Speaker 1: part of the G seven, part of NATO, part of
Speaker 1: the United Nations, and so it has a big voice
Speaker 1: on the global stage. And like I said, we've seen
Speaker 1: this polarization. It's really been crack. It's really been growing fast.
Speaker 1: This device has been growing fast. We saw what happened
Speaker 1: with the truck or protest. I covered that extensively. If
Speaker 1: you don't know what happened, go ahead and do your research.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about what's going on right now. So,
Speaker 1: in order to stop people saying bad things against the government,
Speaker 1: in order to continue to control the narrative, in order
Speaker 1: for them to con try to control power, they have
Speaker 1: to control what people are saying. And so they have
Speaker 1: now passed two bills to control that. Now they can
Speaker 1: control what's on TV. They can even squeeze some of
Speaker 1: the platforms like we saw here in the United States,
Speaker 1: you know, with the with the Biden administration squeezing Meta,
Speaker 1: squeezing Twitter, etc. But what about the smaller broadcasters, what
Speaker 1: about the independent journalist, Well they got plans for them too.
Speaker 1: Now right off the bat, we can see that they've
Speaker 1: already passed a couple of laws that are already affecting
Speaker 1: meta and it's having a major impact into the new source.
Speaker 1: I want to dig into these laws here in a minute,
Speaker 1: but I'm want to take a very quick break. If
Speaker 1: you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark Moss Show,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a couple of bills that were passed
Speaker 1: in Canada and are probably coming to a country near you,
Speaker 1: and you need to understand what's going on if you're
Speaker 1: going to stay a step ahead, so don't miss out.
Speaker 2: I'll be right back after a very short break. I'll
Speaker 2: be right back. All right, Welcome back.
Speaker 1: If you're just tune in, you're listening to the Mark
Speaker 1: mas Show, We're talking about the disturbing laws that are
Speaker 1: going into place into Canada, and it's coming to a
Speaker 1: country and are as. It's happening in the United States,
Speaker 1: it's happening in Europe because it's part of the G seven,
Speaker 1: it's part of NATO, it's part of the UN. But
Speaker 1: let's talk about specifically what's happening in Canada. So let's
Speaker 1: dive in and see exactly what's inside these laws. So
Speaker 1: what we can see is that there's a new bill.
Speaker 1: It's called the Country's Online News Act, which basically requires
Speaker 1: tech companies like Meta and Google to negotiate with and
Speaker 1: pay publishers for their news content. These are walls that
Speaker 1: start going in that start becoming checkpoints, and then they
Speaker 1: start becoming choke points. And what happened is is now
Speaker 1: they're creating laws of these regulations, and so the big
Speaker 1: platforms are now blocking the news. And so now if
Speaker 1: you're in Canada, you've probably already seen this. You can't
Speaker 1: log onto news sources. And so let's say, for example,
Speaker 1: if a Canadian person is friends with someone who lives
Speaker 1: in the United States and the person of the United
Speaker 1: States shares a link on Facebook to let's say an article, well,
Speaker 1: the person in Canada won't be able to see that article.
Speaker 1: That sounds like it could be a problem. Obviously been
Speaker 1: in what news it is that this is widespread right now.
Speaker 1: They're just blocking everything.
Speaker 2: So we can see.
Speaker 1: A couple journalists in Canada have already made some comments
Speaker 1: and Mary McKenzie says, it's scary times. I'm no longer
Speaker 1: able to see the news stories. Meta Google have been
Speaker 1: blocking the process. They're not able to see this. I
Speaker 1: think Tara Jeffery says, I think the worst part of
Speaker 1: receiving this message today was the fact that it came
Speaker 1: after we posted about a missing woman in Sarnia. It's
Speaker 1: not just the news orgs that will suffer the fallout
Speaker 1: of this, It's an entire community. So like it's hashtag,
Speaker 1: local journalism matters, and so even stories like hey a
Speaker 1: missing person, can you help us?
Speaker 2: That's blocked.
Speaker 1: Now. Meticalls is their business decision, saying it chooses to
Speaker 1: block news in order to comply with the Online News Act. Now.
Speaker 1: The company says the Canadian government based its new legislation
Speaker 1: on the incorrect premise that Meta benefits unfairly from the
Speaker 1: news content. The Minister of Canadian Heritage says that the
Speaker 1: country will stand its ground, has met to moves forward
Speaker 1: with its irresponsible message to Canada and other governments. But
Speaker 1: this is what happens when you start passing these laws.
Speaker 1: So now Meta is blocking news sharing from Canadian publishers
Speaker 1: and Canada as well. We can see that it's had
Speaker 1: a massive impact on Canadian news media, with some publishers
Speaker 1: reporting a drop in traffic of up to seventy percent.
Speaker 1: News publishers reporting a drop of seventy percent. Google's plan
Speaker 1: a similar action for local news, which will block starting
Speaker 1: when the law takes effect no later than one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty days after the bill's June twenty second passage.
Speaker 1: Now what does this mean for the future of news
Speaker 1: consumption in Canada. Well, it's all part of the bigger plan.
Speaker 1: It's part of the EU un WEF plan, and of
Speaker 1: course Trudeau's on board for stricter control over independent news
Speaker 1: and podcasting. Now, the government regulator, the Canadian Radio Television
Speaker 1: and Telecommunications Commission CRTC, announced on Friday that it would
Speaker 1: require REDGI registration by independent content producers, including online news
Speaker 1: companies and individuals that host podcasts on their own websites.
Speaker 1: So now, remember I said I probably wouldn't be able
Speaker 1: to do what I'm doing in America. Well you may
Speaker 1: not be able to do this in Canada. So basically,
Speaker 1: if you create content, a podcast, YouTube, whatever, you now
Speaker 1: have to go register. Now, if you know your history,
Speaker 1: you know where that leads. Registration is the first form
Speaker 1: of control.
Speaker 2: So now you have to be approved.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite lines in the book At the Shrug,
Speaker 1: which if you haven't read that book you certainly should,
Speaker 1: is that when you have to get permission to produce
Speaker 1: from men who produce nothing. And so here you have
Speaker 1: people who have never produced anything, but you have to
Speaker 1: get permission to even produce. And so now if you
Speaker 1: want to produce content a podcast, a YouTube channel, now
Speaker 1: you have to go register. Well, if you have to register,
Speaker 1: that means you have to be given permission. So who
Speaker 1: do they get permission to We saw you said something
Speaker 1: mean on online before. We don't like your political affiliations
Speaker 1: or whatever, and so no registration for you, no permission
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 2: This is the first step. The CRTC says that the.
Speaker 1: Law only covers some media companies that are doing more
Speaker 1: than ten million a year in revenue, and that the
Speaker 1: information it's demanding, it's just minimal.
Speaker 2: It's not a big deal, right.
Speaker 1: They say that their goal is to better support Canadian
Speaker 1: indigenous content and ensure it's available. But of course, again,
Speaker 1: as we know, the registration is always just the first part.
Speaker 1: Now we can see where this goes, and we can
Speaker 1: already see how this can be not just applied liberally,
Speaker 1: but how it can also be abused, and of course
Speaker 1: Trudeau and Canada have a history of abusing this.
Speaker 2: We can see.
Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, the Liberal Party released a campaign ad
Speaker 1: that falsely claimed that the Conservative Party was planning to
Speaker 1: cut healthcare for seniors. The added was later removed from
Speaker 1: YouTube for violent its policies on disinformation. And so they're
Speaker 1: the ones out there peddaling disinformation, which of course is
Speaker 1: why they need to censor the other side, because, as
Speaker 1: I said, the truth is always found in open, honest debate. Now,
Speaker 1: what's going on right now? As I said, there's two bills.
Speaker 1: They're using two bills and a series of regulations to
Speaker 1: crack down on this free speech. So there's C eleven,
Speaker 1: which is the Online News Act, and then there's C eighteen,
Speaker 1: which is the Online Streaming Act. So there's two different ones.
Speaker 1: The Online News Act is the Online Streaming Act. The
Speaker 1: Online News Act receives support from multiple media lobby groups,
Speaker 1: including the Canadian Association of Broadcasters, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and
Speaker 1: things like that. Now, as they're working their way through
Speaker 1: the legislative process, we can see that the liberals have
Speaker 1: repeatedly lied completely. They've said that they were about targeting
Speaker 1: big tech and protecting and promoting Canadian culture, but in
Speaker 1: fact they're part of a deliberate effort to censor ordinary Canaid.
Speaker 1: Now again, if you have to register, if you have
Speaker 1: to get permission, then they're able to restrict and it
Speaker 1: makes it harder to express yourself online.
Speaker 2: It's not hard to understand that now. Of course, like
Speaker 2: I said, this is they're doing this to protect you.
Speaker 2: They're doing this to.
Speaker 1: Protect you from the spread of disinformation. Of course they're
Speaker 1: not saying they're doing to squash descent, but they need
Speaker 1: to protect you from dangerous people using dangerous rhetoric to
Speaker 1: do things that we don't like, like the peaceful trucker protest.
Speaker 1: Of course, like I said, this is always the first step,
Speaker 1: and we can clearly see where this goes. We can
Speaker 1: see back to the democracy. More than six and ten
Speaker 1: Canadians are concerned about the bills impact. Canadians are showing that,
Speaker 1: you know how concerned they are. They don't think big
Speaker 1: news organizations need government bailouts, and they believe that the
Speaker 1: C eighteen will harm smaller outlets. And so again the
Speaker 1: majority of saying this, they're not listening to this.
Speaker 2: Now. It's interesting timing on this.
Speaker 1: Can see that Trudeau's crackdown comes at a time when
Speaker 1: the European Union, the United Nations, and the World Economic
Speaker 1: Forum are all demanding harsh crackdowns on free speech.
Speaker 2: So is he listening to them? Is he caving to them?
Speaker 2: Are they working in conjunction with them? Last week that
Speaker 2: you used.
Speaker 1: Top censorship officials claim that x and Twitter was the
Speaker 1: biggest source of misinformation and demanded, yes, greater censorship. That
Speaker 1: free speech is misinformation, not us, even though we get
Speaker 1: caught line all the time, even though if our information
Speaker 1: was true, it would win. But we need to censor
Speaker 1: that free speech because that free speech is misinformation. Well,
Speaker 1: it's opposite of what we're.
Speaker 2: Saying, but it doesn't make it wrong.
Speaker 1: Ahead of upcoming elections, Google, TikTok, Microsoft and Meta also
Speaker 1: have had have more to do to tackle disinformation. Much
Speaker 1: of it's coming from Russia, which is usually social media
Speaker 1: to wage your war of ideas against democracy, claimed the
Speaker 1: European Commissioner Vice President Vera Jor. It's all Russia, Rusia, Russia.
Speaker 1: They're the ones spreading all the disinformation. They have a
Speaker 1: massive disinformation campaign, multimillion dollar euro weapons of mass manipulation
Speaker 1: supposedly is what they say. They must protect us from that.
Speaker 1: The UN next month is co sponsoring a pro sensorship
Speaker 1: event with the World Ecomic Forum, which of course is
Speaker 1: a private NGO, non government organization, not elected, and they're
Speaker 1: creating a quote Global Coalition for Digital Safety to demand
Speaker 1: more censorship. We must stop what you can say, and
Speaker 1: we must prevent what you can hear in order to
Speaker 1: protect you. We must provide censorship in order to keep
Speaker 1: you safe. The Coalition for Digital Safety, it's always for
Speaker 1: your safety. The WEF is seeking to regulate big tech
Speaker 1: companies directly and has captured big tech already.
Speaker 2: We know this.
Speaker 1: They got Google, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft all signed up for this.
Speaker 1: Twitter dropped out, of course, but the sensors are relentless.
Speaker 1: Drove said last week that Elon Musk is not off
Speaker 1: the hook and they're coming strong. If you just tune
Speaker 1: in listening to the Mark Maas Show, we're talking about
Speaker 1: the laws that are being passed against free speech, to
Speaker 1: censor you, to censor what you say, to censor what
Speaker 1: you hear. I got a lot more to cover when
Speaker 1: I come back. Don't go away, I'll bear back, all right,
Speaker 1: Welcome back. If you just tune in, you're listening to
Speaker 1: the Mark Maas Show, and we've been talking about as always,
Speaker 1: the decentralization, the deglobalization, how the pendulum is swinging back
Speaker 1: from this world of centralization to decentralization, and how the
Speaker 1: governments and desperate attempts are trying to hang on.
Speaker 2: To power you'll inevitably fail.
Speaker 1: Now, I was talking about laws that are going in
Speaker 1: into the United States, into Europe, and specifically we've been
Speaker 1: talking about in Canada two laws that are just passed
Speaker 1: that will that will require all content creators, podcasters, YouTubers,
Speaker 1: news sources, independent journalisms, journalism journalists to register with the state.
Speaker 2: Now, it's not a big deal, it's minimal information.
Speaker 1: But that's the slippery slope. That's how it starts. But
Speaker 1: registration means I must get permission. So now I have
Speaker 1: to get permission to even create content to speak my voice.
Speaker 2: So you see how this goes.
Speaker 1: Now, of course, this is a part of a much
Speaker 1: bigger picture that the UN, the IMF are all pushing.
Speaker 1: And yes, it's coming to a country or near you. Now,
Speaker 1: what's next for Canada When recent times, Canada's shown the
Speaker 1: world a series of contradictions that threaten to upend the
Speaker 1: nation's identity as a beacon of liberty and justice.
Speaker 2: So, like I said, you have.
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau calling out the trucker protests, a peaceful protests
Speaker 1: using their constitutional rights and calling them Nazis, but yet
Speaker 1: then bringing an actual Nazi soldier up in Parliament.
Speaker 2: And having a stand in ovation. If you're listening to me, you.
Speaker 1: Probably already get this, but you've probably realized by now
Speaker 1: that almost everything the authoritarians do is in direct contradiction
Speaker 1: to what they say. Now, I use the word authoritarians
Speaker 1: because again, I don't want to make this a partisan issue.
Speaker 2: This is not a left or right.
Speaker 1: It's not a democrat republican. It's not a liberal conservative.
Speaker 1: It's not that it's we the people versus the government.
Speaker 1: And there's people in the government that, sure, they want
Speaker 1: to protect our rights and they want to give us
Speaker 1: more freedom. But unfortunately there's a massive push inside governments
Speaker 1: around the world, in the US and Canada, in the
Speaker 1: U and of course the WEF the UN that are
Speaker 1: authoritarians and they want more authority over you. And so
Speaker 1: if you just listen to their rhetoric, they're saying one
Speaker 1: thing and doing the other. They're calling one group of
Speaker 1: peaceful protesters, are calling them dangerous, they're calling them Nazis,
Speaker 1: and then literally bringing Nazis up. They're saying, we must
Speaker 1: protect you from disinformation, but they're the ones that are
Speaker 1: spreading the misinformation. And again, not left or right, this
Speaker 1: are authoritarians, right, the suggestion you do, I don't know
Speaker 1: what political party is in, nor do I care. He's
Speaker 1: an authoritarian. He's trying to take away your ability to
Speaker 1: speak and my ability to hear.
Speaker 2: Right now, this is all an illusion.
Speaker 1: Right. We can see over and over and over again
Speaker 1: how much Justin Trudeau in the Canadian government has completely
Speaker 1: disregarded any principles of democracy, again using disinformation. The government's
Speaker 1: approach seems to employ the tactic of guilty until proven
Speaker 1: innocent and now even pre crime, you might do something bad,
Speaker 1: so we must prevent you from even getting the chance
Speaker 1: to maybe potentially do something bad in the future. Now,
Speaker 1: all of this leads to a massive amount of loss
Speaker 1: of trust, a huge erosion of trust. And as I've
Speaker 1: talked about many, many times and probably really increased this
Speaker 1: rhetoric was around the truck or protest. And the thing
Speaker 1: is with trust is it's very fragile. When trust is broken,
Speaker 1: it doesn't just come back, which is why we can
Speaker 1: see not just In Canada. But in the United States
Speaker 1: and in almost every developed nation, trust in governments is
Speaker 1: at almost an all time low. Now in some nations, Singapore,
Speaker 1: some of the Asian nations, trust is still pretty high.
Speaker 2: It's part of their culture. A little bit over there.
Speaker 1: But here where we sort of have this more free
Speaker 1: culture and we just have this skeptical viewpoint. But we've
Speaker 1: seen over and over and over and over again how
Speaker 1: we're being lied to, and they're the ones lined, they're
Speaker 1: caught in their lives, and yet they say that we're
Speaker 1: the ones spreading disinformation. We can see this over and over.
Speaker 1: We can see how Trudeau has cracked down on this.
Speaker 1: Now they're passing laws on this. We can see how
Speaker 1: they treated their own people again, arresting people in the
Speaker 1: truck or protests. There's still people being held for now
Speaker 1: more than two years in that that have been completely
Speaker 1: denied any due process. There's four people in jail that
Speaker 1: have done forty to fifty sixty days of solitary confinement,
Speaker 1: two years in prison with zero due process of law.
Speaker 1: That is not a free country, that is not a
Speaker 1: democratic country. It's tortuous treatment. It's a way that you
Speaker 1: don't even treat war criminals. Now they have to continue
Speaker 1: to hold them because they can't allow them to go
Speaker 1: to trial because they don't have the evidence, and they'll
Speaker 1: probably lose, and that's going to look very very bad
Speaker 1: on authoritarian So in dictatorships like you would imagine North
Speaker 1: Korea to be, or you would imagine, you know, whatever
Speaker 1: a Russia as we've been told to be, you would
Speaker 1: imagine that they would grab their political you know, opponents
Speaker 1: and throw them in jail and lock them up and
Speaker 1: never hear from them again.
Speaker 2: Because you don't.
Speaker 1: They don't want you to hear what they have to say.
Speaker 1: They have to censor sort of like what's happening to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump right now, right now, right now, he's being
Speaker 1: you know, being run through the court system in New
Speaker 1: York and they are putting a gag order. Right if
Speaker 1: you notice what's happening with Trump in all these different cases,
Speaker 1: they're putting gag orders in effect because they can't let
Speaker 1: you hear what he has to say. I mean, just
Speaker 1: look at the contradiction here. When Trump was impeached now
Speaker 1: two times, it was twenty four to seven, the new
Speaker 1: cycle being ram down your throat non stop, and now
Speaker 1: we have Biden going through an impeachment and all legacy
Speaker 1: media has completely blacked out. They don't talk about it
Speaker 1: at all. This is the contradiction that we're talking about,
Speaker 1: and we can see it. We can see it everywhere.
Speaker 2: So what do we do about it?
Speaker 1: Well, for now, we still have a voice. Right, for now,
Speaker 1: we still have a voice, and we need to continue
Speaker 1: to speak out on this because the future implications, if unchecked,
Speaker 1: are bad. Right, these actions can serve as a model
Speaker 1: for other nations. Like I said, it's happening in Canada,
Speaker 1: they'll see how it works. They'll continue to turn up
Speaker 1: the heat here in the United States. It's going to
Speaker 1: continue to happen in.
Speaker 2: Europe and so forth. The whole world is watching.
Speaker 1: If the people lay down and allow this to go through,
Speaker 1: then the rest of the world goes, huh, well, I'm surprised.
Speaker 2: The people laid down pretty easy, no big deal. We
Speaker 2: should probably do the same.
Speaker 1: However, if people stand up, if people put up a fight,
Speaker 1: if people vote these people out of office, then the
Speaker 1: rest of the world sees that goes huh, well, we
Speaker 1: don't want to fight. We don't want our people voting
Speaker 1: this out of office. We probably should think about a
Speaker 1: different tactic, and so the whole world is watching. Just
Speaker 1: like the whole world watched the truck or protests, the
Speaker 1: whole world is watching this as well. If governments can
Speaker 1: just completely bypass all due process, you know, in the
Speaker 1: name of whatever security, you know, keeping you safe, et cetera.
Speaker 1: If they can do that and nobody puts up a fight,
Speaker 1: then the other nations will do the same thing. As
Speaker 1: I like to say, your compliance makes you complicit, and
Speaker 1: I know I'm guilty. I got my family, I got
Speaker 1: my business. I want to focus on my health. It's
Speaker 1: a losing it's a losing proposition. Let me just focus
Speaker 1: on what I need to do and forget that. But
Speaker 1: we're never going to win that way. The more quiet
Speaker 1: we are, the more that we comply, the more that
Speaker 1: we are actually helping push this through because all it
Speaker 1: takes is well, the cliche the same, it's not a cliche,
Speaker 1: the saying is all it takes for evil to prevail
Speaker 1: us for good men to do nothing. I was listening
Speaker 1: to an interview with Jordan Peterson talking to his daughter,
Speaker 1: Mikaela Peterson. He was talking about what's happening with him
Speaker 1: in the college system and how they're trying to take
Speaker 1: away his license. And she asked them, hey, why are
Speaker 1: you still there, Why are you still fighting this? Why
Speaker 1: don't you just move to America like I've done? And
Speaker 1: he said, look, it's not that far gone Canada. Isn't
Speaker 1: that far gone yet? And take this to take this
Speaker 1: to the United States or wherever you live. It's not
Speaker 1: that far gone yet.
Speaker 2: He said. It's one or two crazy people inside the university.
Speaker 1: One or two people. All we need is one or
Speaker 1: two people to stand up encounter that. In your local government,
Speaker 1: it's one or two people that are extremists that are
Speaker 1: pushing this. And all we need is one or two
Speaker 1: people to stand up in Canada, in your school board,
Speaker 1: in your city council, in your county board, local government,
Speaker 1: local school systems, local governments matter. We've sort of been scammed.
Speaker 1: We've all been told to look at the president, look
Speaker 1: at Joe Biden, look at Trump.
Speaker 2: Let's all get caught up in this presidential thing when
Speaker 2: that doesn't really matter to our life.
Speaker 1: But what does matter to your life is your local
Speaker 1: school board, you're a county supervisor, your state representatives, and
Speaker 1: your governor.
Speaker 2: That's what matters. And you do have a voice.
Speaker 1: All takes for you prevails good men to do nothing,
Speaker 1: and we need one or two people to stand up.
Speaker 1: Sacrifice your time, effort, energy, maybe sacrifice some of your money,
Speaker 1: go participate. We can turn the tides. It's not too
Speaker 1: late yet. Now if you just tune in, you're listening
Speaker 1: to the Mark Ma Show. Of course, we're talking about
Speaker 1: the decentralized revolution, how this world is changing as authoritarian
Speaker 1: rises up and people are pushing back, hopefully motivating you
Speaker 1: to step up. But that's what we got today. I
Speaker 1: know it's scary. We will prevail if we do the
Speaker 1: hard work. But that's what I got for today. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much for listening, and the next time
