The Open Forum Podcast

Sunny S

The open forum podcast aims to be a space where people with differing views and ideas can come to openly explore those without fear of being demonised, de-platformed or otherwise. It’s the place to hear about anything and everything, from everybody’s favourite virus to economics to climate change to general science & history! Nothing is off limits, so sit back and prepare to open your mind! Evidence to back up the things talked about, where possible, will be posted in the description for each episode so you can go away with the facts, or, receipts, that matter in hand and hopefully walking away more informed than when you walked in! read less

030 Attack on the USS Liberty - When Israel attacked the US Military | Phil Tourney
Aug 11 2024
030 Attack on the USS Liberty - When Israel attacked the US Military | Phil Tourney
Today I'm joined by US Navy Veteran and recipient of broze star medal Philip Tourney - one of the remaining survivors of the *documented* attack on US military personnel by Israel on June 8th 1967 - where 174 Americans were injured and 34 murdered aboard the USS Liberty... out of a total of just under 300 men. I don't say killed in action because as you'll find out - there was no action in the typical sense of the word as it pertains to military conflict, in fact, it is specifically labelled as unexpected and unprovoked in the citation for the aforementioned medal. Lyndon Johnson - then president - chose to take no action against Israel so as not to embarrass them and the men were told to keep their mouths shut with threats of prison, job loss or worse... This story was subsequently buried and NO congressional investigation was ever fully done to ascertain what had happened as the US government colluded with the Israeli government to create a false flag attack to drag the US into the 6 day war and trigger WW3. This conversation is all the more important as we consider what Israel is now doing in the ME to Syria, Iran, Lebanon etc. attempting to provoke a larger reaction where Israel's allies must commit which again, would trigger a larger conflict.  00:00 intro 04:00 Run up to Israels attack  08:15 The attack begins with unmarked jets  10:44 Why would Israel need to NAPALM their "allies" ship?! 12:20 Signals jammed & US have sent jets to Egypt... before you guys identified an attacker? 13:30 Support jets were RECALLED?! 14:18 President Lyndon Johnson recalled support jets as well!! 17:01 Then the SECOND WAVE of the attack - Torpedo boats 23:15 The THIRD WAVE - Israeli marines in helicopters 25:50 Israel's history of attacking their "friends"  26:41 What happened after the third wave? 27:45 Could you have defended yourselves properly during the attack? 28:50 An Admiral arrives with an (un)surprising response... 32:46 What did the Admiral say and do? 35:22 Any threats to your life for speaking out? 39:30 It was 57 years ago - When did you start speaking out and why? 42:30 Is there any hard evidence or is this speculation? 44:20 What was Israel's response? Why did they do this? 49:00 What was the plan if the liberty was sunk? WW3? 52:14 Israel are dragging the world into WW3 once again in 2024 54:00 USS Liberty survivors labelled as N*zi's, bigots, racist, anti-semites 56:32 US Policy is dictated by AIPAC/Israeli interests 58:59 USS Maddox - another false flag! 1:02:20 Other wars and false flags in our names? 1:03:25 The deep state controls nations, not state leaders 1:05:10 Trump on foreign policy - only peaceful president NOT starting new wars, disengaging from wars and  1:07:55 Disturbing reality about modern warfare & weaponry 1:10:30 What do you mean by the Zionist state of Israel 1:11:50 Did Israel ever apologise to the sailors? 1:13:20 Oct 7 was allowed to happen to take war into Gaza 1:15:20 Where can people find you guys USS Liberty Veterans https://www.usslibertyveterans.org/  https://justiceforliberty.org/  Admiral Moorer report https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CREC-2004-10-11/html/CREC-2004-10-11-pt1-PgE1886-3.htm  (brief summary) https://ifamericansknew.org/media/misslib.html?_gl=1*38ryen*_gcl_au*Njg4ODQwMTMxLjE3MjIyODM5OTM.  War crimes report   http://gtr5.com/evidence/warcrimes.pdf  Statement by Capt Ward Boston Jr. https://rense.com/general47/statementbycaptward.htm  Israeli foreign aid https://usafacts.org/articles/how-much-military-aid-does-the-us-give-to-israel/  Letterbombs to Truman https://www.nytimes.com/1972/12/02/archives/letterbombs-mailed-to-truman-in-1947-truman-was-sent-bombs-book.html  https://web.archive.org/web/20190507153853/https://www.nytimes.com/1972/12/02/archives/letterbombs-mailed-to-truman-in-1947-truman-was-sent-bombs-book.html  King David Hotel https://www.jerusalemstory.com/en/article/king-david-hotel-focal-point-british-mandate-jerusalem-whose-bombing-was-watershed-moment  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06dz9vf  Robert McNamara & Meir Amit https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v19/d124  DEW's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKwRI9CmCBM  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWFGzoYod5M  Hannibal directive https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-07-07/ty-article-magazine/.premium/idf-ordered-hannibal-directive-on-october-7-to-prevent-hamas-taking-soldiers-captive/00000190-89a2-d776-a3b1-fdbe45520000

029 | The Trust Fall: Julian Assange, Wikileaks and Free Speech | Kym Staton
This time I speak with Kym Staton, Award winning film director having started with Films for Change, a way to host, promote and distribute documentaries the globe over. We're going to be discussing the documentary he has made - The Trust Fall - Julian Assange and the implications the Assange trial has for press freedoms, global freedom of speech & democracy at large, or the glaring indictment against democracy. At the end of this episode I play the collateral murder video for posterity. 00:00 Intro 00:41 The Trust Fall documentary Trailer 04:05 Why did you decide to make the documentary? 09:50 Why did Julian go into exile in the Ecuadorian embassy for 7 years 10:45 Julian is constantly accused of r@pe, what really happened with the Sweden case? 13:40 Did Julian's journalism put any lives at risk?

Since 2017 he's gone on to found Veterans for child rescue (www.v4cr.org) - a not for profit working to combat child trafficking and support survivors as well as connecting them with the help they need to heal from the traumas. Todays conversation is about the breakdown in our society that allows for this inhumane practise to continue as an open secret amongst the most powerful in our society and news media remains silent on despite the high profile cases of Epstein, Weinstein, Mack, Saville etc. Craig talks us through some of the origins of the attempted normalization of child predation, big tech censorship - how junk science was used to justify it and how the breakdown of the family unit lends itself to an environment whereby predators are able to sniff out the vulnerable, and much, much more. 00:00 Intro 02:06 Realising Child Trafficking is a cover op run in the USA 06:40 How has child trafficking & abuse become so abundant? 07:55 Satanic cults and abuse. 13:05 Can spirituality help us function better? 15:48 Why haven't people in charge come forward to talk about it, fear, power? 20:30 Alfred Kinsey and attempts of normalizing paedophilia through "research" 25:35 Ideology subversion - destroy strong family units & strong males 36:22 Predators know to target children from broken homes 41:54 Become informed - find alternative news sources 44:00 UN & ICJ decriminalising age of consent & sexualization of children 46:00 The role of psychological manipulation 50:15 We need to be aware what key members of our institutions are doing behind the scenes 51:45 The Kentler Project 53:00 Censorship by big tech on stopping child trafficking 55:50 Big tech cancelling fundraising efforts  57:06 They want control & a NWO 59:00 Pollution, climate 1:00:50 It's a choice - serfdom or sovereignty 1:04:14 Crisis moments are hotbeds for trafficking opportunities 1:08:40 Easy access through the southern border 01:17:50 What can we as citizens do? 01:21:50 What is the Documentary Contraland?  01:24:20 What can survivors do?

025 | A Voice of the Vaccine Injured | Tracey Bettridge
Jul 23 2023
025 | A Voice of the Vaccine Injured | Tracey Bettridge
Tracey Bettridge is one of the many silenced voices of the vaccine injured. Shortly after having an mRNA booster shot, Tracey unfortunately suffered vaccine induced transverse myelitis as diagnosed by her neurologist and was told it would not have happened had she not taken the shot, a shot that was coerced due to government mandates. Prior to this, Tracey had no other underlying health conditions. In this episode we discuss Tracey's injury, how it has effected her now going forward as she begins a journey of rehabilitation as well as the support (read: lack thereof) from her local representatives in government - instead support coming from further afield in the shape of the few voices in the Australian parliament that are seeking to help those who have been injured as a result of the experimental shots. **Tracey mentioned afterwards that at times it was difficult to maintain the flow due to the brain fog that has occurred as one of the many side effects since taking the shot. As always, links to relevant articles or new stories are below! 00:50 Intro 03:00 What happened? Any warning signs? 09:30 Did you have the choice to take the shot or not? 15:00 How did your staff feel about government mandates? 20:30 You're in a class action lawsuit, have you reviewed the Pfizer documents? 24:200 Information was available, but NO government took accountability and they all went with the narrative? 28:38 Has your vaccine injury been medically diagnosed, or is it speculation? 33:20 How is it not being able to work due to the injury from the shot? 37:20 How have the people around you responded to your injury? 40:20 How have you been coping? 42:40 Advice for those going through it? 49:40 How does it feel having no representation by your elected officials? 55:50 How has this injury impacted your life? 1:02:20 Class action lawsuit Vs. Commonwealth and TGA 1:06:00 Those pushing this forward in parliament and further afield.

Ep. 024 | Society 4.0: Building A Citizens Society NOT A Great / Elite Reset | Bob de Wit
Prof. Bob de Wit is the Professor of Strategic Leadership at Nyenrode Business University in the Netherlands as well as the founder and owner of Strategy Works and Strategy Academy, with a plethora of books and publications such as Strategy: An International Perspective being used at universities in over 70 countries around the world. Having predicted an impending societal change in the mid 2010's there are few better placed to discuss said upheaval than Bob, join us as we discuss the impending societal revolution following on from one of Bob's latest books Society 4.0 - discussing the possibility for us to take this opportunity to create a citizens society as opposed to the Elite Reset society - commonly referred to as the Great Reset. Creating a society that is led from the bottom up, rather than the top down as a corporatocracy/great reset society would build. Bob has a unique take on this having called out early in 2020 the chance for the Corona crisis to be used for other purposes. Join us as we discuss what we can do to move forward positively as well as how our current political landscape needs to change to prevent the abuses of power we see today implementing a public merit score only for those who wish to represent the populous on national and international political stages and how we can truly become the best Glocal citizens possible! Bob has a refreshing outlook - instead of continually hammering on the negatives he is constantly looking for the positive opportunities that are available as well as inspiring others with their chance to push forward!   00:40 intro 01:46 What triggered your deep dive into societal change? 02:43 How Corona ushered in the beginning of change 04:36 What were society 1.0 (feudal), 2.0 (traders) & 3.0 (industrial revolution) 12:15 Power shifts between global corporations Vs. nation states & influence of NGO's 18:10 Why is it a bad idea to let corporate leaders take global control?  23:00 People don't understand what they're voting. 29:30 What is the alternative to the "Great/Elite Reset"? What is the Citizens Society? 33:00 Redefining politically eligibility with Integrity & Competency (Public Merit) scores for politicians *ONLY* 35:34 How can we address & assess political integrity? 45:52 AI influences on this new society by 2030?  54:22 Changing humanities position on the planet after machines change the working world 57:00 Finding purpose in this new society? 01:03:20 How will we conduct trade in the new society  01:07:20 A New form of payment through societal contribution & added value 01:11:10 How we create a system to prevent manipulation 01:14:00 Formulating a brighter society, together. 01:18:50 How has your work been impacted by your perception of current events? 01:21:30 How can people find you and implement this into their communities?   Follow Bob: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-de-wit-752bab1/ https://www.society4th.org   Follow me   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/sunnys91   Twitter: Https://www.twitter.com/sunnypodcasts   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theopenforumpodcast   Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-2169950

023 | Economic hitmen - from US dominance to potential Chinese superiority? | John Perkins
I'm fortunate to be joined once more by John Perkins - the infamous Economic Hitman whom you may remember from episode 17 of the podcast. This time we talk about China and their economic hitmen, what is it about their approach that has been so appealing and so successful, the pluses and minuses of their approach to the economic hitman strategy as they apply the 4 pillars as well as some issues that have arisen as a result of poor infrastructure development by Chinese contractors and more importantly the environmental impact these strategies have. John talks more about how it is we can make a life economy rather than this continuation of the death economy that he was once a part of creating many years ago through a sustainable future as a part of the planet rather than placing ourselves "above" the needs of the planet!

022| Will Climate Change Kill Us All? A Healthy Dose of Climate Realism | Matthew Wielicki
Dr Matthew Wielicki is a former asst professor in the department of geological sciences at uni of Alabama who completed his PhD in geochemistry, with a multitude of peer reviewed publications and as an Earth Science professor, there are few better placed to speak on our topic of today - climate change or climate alarmism. We speak about everything from overpopulation to natural disasters - data manipulation and whether going carbon neutral (or carbon negative) will have any long lasting implications! As well as that we dip a toe briefly into geoengineering!

Michael is a wealth of knowledge in this area having studied in depth the signs throughout history when these things occur - from information warfare to the cutting off of nations critical supplies (Noord Stream Pipeline anyone? Energy infrastructure?). Utilising this knowledge and looking for the signs Michael travels to countries the globe over - and unfortunately if he's in your country, it may not be a good omen!

Not just for you the individual (though it should concern you!) But also for society as the collective. There's no need for someone to put a chip in you when your mobile phone does all the tracking for any unscrupulous individuals anyways. Whether it's location tracking, cookies, the unfettered reach of big tech companies in your life, as well as the ways that they manipulate your feelings, opinions and choices (there's a lot there, trust me!) the connection of big tech companies to intelligence agencies the globe over, not just the CIA, we discuss all of this and more!

019 | Are Lipid Nanoparticles in mRNA tech - the hidden danger? | Christie Grace
Christie Grace is a consultant in biotechnology specifically on recombinant antibodies, CRISPR, mRNA, gene synthesis & Quality control. On this episode we discuss Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP) - and how they relate to mRNA technology as the delivery mechanism. We dive into the known adverse outcomes related to the LNP's with regards to clotting, damage to endothelial cells, fertility and more as well as how this was known to the CDC and NIH for years prior. The freeze-thaw process is also out to be questioned due to known ways this degrades the LNP's. 0:45 Intro 04:30 What is it about the mRNA tech that's so different?

018 | State Sanctioned Torture, Whistleblowing & 9/11 | John Kiriakou
Jan 13 2023
018 | State Sanctioned Torture, Whistleblowing & 9/11 | John Kiriakou
John Kiriakou is the only person in CIA history to go to prison for crimes relating to torture - NOT carrying out torture, or giving the order for others to carry out said torture. Instead, John went to prison for blowing the whistle on torture. Join us as we talk about what led to John blowing the whistle, what exactly was/is enhanced interrogation, was it actually useful, as well as some of the less publicised, darker aspects of whistleblowing, such as multiple FBI investigations, malicious prosecution and more.  01:30 Intro 02:30 Blowing the whistle in 2007 on torture program. 05:00 Extremist groups in the 90's in Greece 09:00 Only 16 Arabic speakers in the CIA! 12:15 What were your next moves in intelligence after the WTC attacks 16:00 Capturing "Al-Qaeda's number 3 guy" & Extraordinary Rendition 29:04 Can we really say that there were no secret prisons or rendition programs prior to 2002? 32:30 Enhanced interrogation training (IE torture program) 35:18 The "13 steps" of enhanced interrogation 41:00 Does torture actually work? 43:15 You are quoted as saying in interviews torture *does* work? 49:00 your blowing the whistle wasn't only altruistic 52:15 Multiple FBI investigations against you & sentencing  57:30 Whistleblower treatment 1:07:00 False Flags & CIA operations - Northwoods, Bluebook Mockingbird etc. - governments lie...  01:09:00 9/11 - Al Qaeda or inside job? 01:12:00 Operation Northwoods false flags 01:17:10 Educate yourselves! Before I add the links to different sources for some of the elements we touch on, John has written multiple books, both on blowing the whistle and other elements surrounding his time in the CIA. I'm going to pop a link here - it's not an affiliate link or anything - I'm not paid to add it nor has John asked me, but I do have a couple of his books and they make for fascinating reading, if you're interested in this kind of stuff and want to know more about John, by all means grab one of his books. I truly believe in the adage of we vote with our dollars and that we should support those who we believe in, if we can (times are hard for everyone!) https://www.amazon.com/s?i=stripbooks&rh=p_27%3AJohn+Kiriakou&s=relevancerank&text=John+Kiriakou&ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1 It's the amazon link for his authors page - but you can get the books from other vendors or local book stores! I try to go local where possible and only use amazon for my books as a last resort.

017 | A former Economic Hitman’s take on our bleak future | John Perkins
John Perkins was an Economic Hitman formerly of Chas T Main - where he would be responsible for setting up contracts to help bring countries into a modern day form of colonisation through debt slavery under the guise of foreign aid helping to build new infrastructure. Eventually walking away from this work John went on to blow the whistle on his and others in his field of works' activities in 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman' a New York Times best seller. On this episode we talk about his past and then look at how we can recognise when foreign governments are attempting to shift other countries through the guise of aid into debt slavery. We discuss how this has shaped the world we live in today and where the war with Russia & Ukraine looks to play a role.  On top of that we discuss John's upcoming book due for release in Feb where he talks about China's EHM's and how they have further refined the EHM strategy. 1:40 Intro 2:40 What is an Economic Hitman (EHM) 08:30 Failed coup attempts 11:30 How often is it these planned coups happen and how can we see the signs? Other examples? 17:25 Money for infrastructure isn't going to those countries involved - bribes & debts! 24:20 How are countries taking these loans from China instead of the USA now? 30:30 How are we now in a position where those in power are no longer working for the good of the common man?  32:30 Climate change as a result of EHM policies? 35:40 We've no infrastructure to go without Hydrocarbons - why no nuclear? 38:40 How much do we have to suffer to make up for the mistakes of the past? 43:50 Friedman-esque Neo-liberal economics 50:40 People are turning away from democracy? 53:00 I don't believe we live in a true democracy 55:10 How far has China's reach gotten? 58:00 The new Silk Road (Belt & Road initiative) 1:00:00 How have China convinced people to pick their version of colonialism over Europe's and the US? 1:04:00 is the World Economic Forum another player on the colonialisation? 1:10:40 How does Russia & Ukraine factor in to the global stage? 1:16:15 Final thoughts ----------- Some links: As you know by now, I always add in links to back up what is said in these podcasts however, with this one, I don't think I'd be able to do it justice in the same way John has, in his books he provides references galore with everything he has said - this book was one of the reasons that I wanted to start The Open Forum in the first place - the sheer volume of evidence supplied is irrefutable and I feel we should all strive to have that level of thoroughness in everything we do. I'll have a couple links below but I implore you to check out his books - Confessions of an Economic Hitman (Or the New Confessions - updated, published 2016) ..

016| Holocaust Survivor & Medical Activist’s thoughts on the pandemic and Healthcare | Vera Sharav TOF
Vera Sharav is a medical activist having founded the AHRP (Alliance for Human Research Protection) - an organisation working on on behalf of the people for proper voluntary & informed consent for medical intervention - Vera & the AHRP are in no small part the reason we're aware of a lot of medical and scientific malpractice - from illegal experimentation on foster children with AIDS vax & drugs to drug regulators having to acknowledge the suicide risks associated with anti depressants (yes - the pills give you suicidal ideation - I wish I was making that up) to name but a couple things she has brought light. On this episode of the podcast we talk about Vera's experience during the Holocaust and beyond, touching on elements of her survival there shaping and impacting her moving forward with the rest of her life, as well as the lessons we should have learned from the build up to the Holocaust - which we unfortunately clearly did not as our privacy and rights were categorically stripped away during the last three years of the pandemic. Don't take my word for it, as that's inflammatory - you've someone who experienced first had the loss of liberty in *one of* the worst atrocities in living memory. We also talk about what we can do moving forward to not only prevent this from happening again, but what will happen if we continue down the pathway we're currently heading down As always links below for supplementary evidence! 1:18 Issues within media 3:25 Vera's history in the camps and on getting to freedom 11:50 On disobeying authority & Transhumanism 16:30 Parallels of the 1930's to the pandemic years 20:50 Utilisation of propaganda to instill fear and engineer compliance and gaining control 26:02 How and What Can We Do To Disobey  32:08 They can control your finances and take your freedoms 35:10 Show me your papers 38:48 It's a pandemic of the who now? 40:10 March/April 2020  41:35 Parralels in Germany T4 (Aktion T4) 48:25 The state of medicine today. 55:38 Who is the "they" pulling the strings? 58:00 Energy crisis  1:01:00 The media culpability 1:04:00 Childhood vaxx schedule 1:08:30 Western countries are targeted  1:12:00 Operation paperclip and beyond! 1:14:00 Population control ideologies  1:16:00 Nobody is coming to save you this time 1:22:00 Is the Green Agenda a way to manipulate people further? 1:25:15 Parting words www.AHRP.org Follow me Insta: https://www.instagram.com/sunnys91 Twitter: Https://www.twitter.com/sunnypodcasts YouTube: The Open Forum Podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOjsM5tifuO9DxXBDIAWAQ  Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7iJVBLG5xEZRZOX3FbUoWI  Digital ID, Transhumanism, injectable ID Sweden has injectable COVID pass chip https://www.insider.com/swedish-firm-under-skin-microchip-for-covid-19-passes-2021-12 US AID on digital ID development https://www.usaid.gov/digital-development/digital-id Biometric Digital Wallets for EU citizens https://www.biometricupdate.com/202106/biometrically-accessed-digital-wallet-coming-for-eu-citizens Czech president updates issues facing Digi-ID's (there's so much more, UK, NL, you name it in the EU and they're on it...) https://www.biometricupdate.com/202210/eu-czech-presidency-suggests-new-european-digital-id-guidelines Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation pumps $200M into digital ID's https://www.biometricupdate.com/202209/gates-foundation-commits-200m-to-digital-id-and-other-public-infrastructure Sweden - chips in hands Yuval Noah Harari TransHumanism https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2017/mar/19/yuval-harari-sapiens-readers-questions-lucy-prebble-arianna-huffington-future-of-humanity  partnerships with big tech https://www.cbsnews.com/news/social-media-is-a-tool-of-the-cia-seriously/ Charles cop 26 supercede individual nations  CNBC Article https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/01/prince-charles-calls-for-war-like-footing-in-speech-at-cop26.html Transcript & Video https://www.rev.com/tc-editor/shared/eXnMJBVGcX3PuIuIVvQ1upsE1a-JMsQ5C2_8i-3wNC6PsCMXXDKIBHortQeEUzUJYG-m9TAb9dwrqEJoDPAY-CdRJ24 BoJo article - pop control https://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/3643551/Global-over-population-is-the-real-issue.html Prince Phil (I called him by the wrong name during the pod...

015 | Climate Change OR Climate Alarmism What’s Really Going On | Sen. Malcolm Roberts
Senator Malcolm Roberts joins me again on the podcast this time to discuss Climate Change - or - a lack thereof! We're constantly told we're bad people and we're destroying the planet with our CO2 emissions - but is that really the case? Join us as we break that down, as well as discussing the real impacts of man made climate change - what can be proven - and what is actually just normal for planet earth! Oh, and the big one - why CO2 is actually GOOD for the greenery of the planet! Also, what is the difference between WEATHER and CLIMATE... it's an important distinction that is often left by the wayside, and when we don't recognise that difference it is *very* easy to be manipulated when discussing it!  As always, some links down below for background to what we've covered! 00:20 intro 01:03 Difference between CLIMATE and the WEATHER & what is variability 11:03 What is Climate alarmism 18:00 Why are people just accepting these dire circumstances? 24:30 OBSERVABLE Human impact on CO2 during 2008 & 2020 periods of decreased human activity 34:00 What is wrong with the noble lie of getting off of fossil fuels/hydrocarbons? 42:30 Why is nuclear not being discussed 50:30 Why aren't renewables all they're made out to be? 56:00 ESG/SDG scores & Farming - controlling our lands 1:02:00 If you don't think they're controlling you...! World Climate Declaration (IMPORTANT TO READ!) This was released maybe a week after myself and Malcolm spoke which was a shame!

014 | The Influence of the World Economic Forum | Michael Nevradakis
On this episode of I talk with Michael Nevradakis, PhD about everyone's favourite party guests the World Economic Forum. We discuss how they've infiltrated governments and global organisations, how their goals are being pushed forward in the media through behavioural nudging as well as the impact some of the policies they're helping to enforce are now negatively affecting society for example with ESG & SDG scores (more can be found on these in the links down below) as well as climate goals, Agenda 2030 and the like. In order not to have it all looking doom and gloom and an inevitability that the WEF will take control of global governance, we also discuss how we can be better protecting ourselves and how to pick up on media that might be influencing yours, and my decision making towards their goals. Michael is a fantastic journalist and researcher with a PhD in media studies, masters in public policy and bachelors in political sciences, next to that he was a lecturer at the university of Texas, radio and podcast host.

012 | What they don’t tell you about transitioning - from a transgender man | Scott Newgent
Scott Newgent is the founder of TREvoices.org - Scott underwent gender reassignment at the age of 41 and following a series of medical issues stemming directly as a result from transitioning which amongst other issues almost resulted in him dying led Scott on a pathway to found TRE Voices with the goal of preventing children transitioning and shed light on the realities of transitioning - though it may be right for some people - everyone needs to be fully informed and children shouldn't be transitioned nor should they be taught gender ideology in the classrooms. Join me as we take a dive in to the realities around transitioning, the deep rooted homophobia of the modern movement to transition everyone & some of the medical complications around transitioning that the pamphlets at your local gender affirming therapists offices don't tell you. 01:12 Intro 02:53 Scott's journey transitioning 09:55 Surgeries & hormone therapies are ALL experimental treatments (bar "top" surgery) 14:50 Different surgeries & Scott's experience 16:50 Why you can't sue for medical malpractice for trans surgery issues in the US 20:00 Medical Issues post medical transitioning for children 27:40 De-Transitioning & stopping hormone therapy 31:10 We're all looking for acceptance &  a community that'll accept us 40:20 Would you of transitioned knowing what you know now? 45:00 Is there an element of internalized homophobia in transitioning? 49:15 What role should schools play in this? Pronouns, genders etc.?  54:00 No money in would we be medically transitioning children? 58:20 Even if it's difficult we must stand up for children 1:03:00 Parents promoting their children into trans identity are only looking after themselves 1:04:20 Why aren't the gay community saying something about this? 1:06:10 Raising awareness isn't easy but it has to be done Scott's website - here Scott shares a lot of resources, scientific literature & more in and around the truths behind childhood transition. www.trevoices.org Lupron $875M lawsuit  https://web.archive.org/web/20190213000636/https://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/04/business/2-drug-makers-to-pay-875-million-to-settle-fraud-case.html Loudoun county school covers up sexual assault https://www.dailywire.com/news/loudoun-officials-could-face-criminal-charges-for-rape-coverup Medical transitioning doesn't seem to improve mental health outcomes - correction of an earlier published paper in the American Journal of Psychiatry https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.2020.1778correction Puberty blockers do not seem to provide significant psychological benefit https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-020-01743-6 Co morbidities in those with Gender Dysphoria https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5841333/ Long term follow up of those who underwent gender reassignment https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885

011 | Cancelled for Gender Critical Beliefs | James Esses
James Esses is a former criminal barrister who also volunteered for 5 years at childline before deciding to undertake a masters in Psychotherapy and founder of Thoughtful Therapists - shortly after being given permission during to start his own clinic he was dismissed from the course without notice for gender critical beliefs which became prominent due to a petition looking to safeguard explorative therapies for children as they related to gender dysphoria. After being dismissed from the course he was subsequently let go from child line as well.  The focus of this episode is on opening up a dialogue around transitioning and allowing people to understand all aspects surrounding it due to many people being afraid to further explore a person's desire to transition due to fear of being labelled a bigot or transphobic, as well as the Unknown factors around childhood transitioning due to no long term data or studies around the usage of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones.  As always relevant articles are linked at the bottom of the description however, If you want to support James in his battle against the university due to the unfair dismissal - this case isn't just about James - it is also about protecting free speech and prevent people from being punished for freedom of speech, thought and expression and as James puts it - especially when the goal is to protect children. https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/expelled-university-free-speech/  (also linked below) 01:20 Intro 03:18 What was it that got you barred from the Masters in psychotherapy? 04:40 What was the general idea behind the petition?  05:40 Internationally, therapists are scared to work with those suffering from gender dysphoria 07:26 Are there more affirming therapists due to the current social/political climate surrounding gender identity? 09:14 What is the job of a Psychotherapist then?  14:04 What happens to young people who aren't medically transitioned? What does the evidence say? 15:48 Long term effects of puberty blockers?  18:26 Transitioning still has high suicide rates for adults & children  20:04 Are we exploring all options prior to transitioning for children? Is it appropriate? 22:52 Experimentation of John Money  25:22 Are we regressing to stereotypes? 28:28 Impacts of detransitioning?  34:26 Social pressure for people to transition 39:50 Power of language 41:50 What is Gender Identity 44:45 Power of pronouns 46:15 How can we truly support & help people with gender dysphoria? 54:30 What can people expect if they speak out?
