That is our 13 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:35,200 Locals community where a ever growing group of very kind, intelligent people are coming together to 14 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,840 share research and mostly just be cool people together in the same space. 15 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,680 You can be a free member. You don't have to sign up for anything paid if you don't want to, 16 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,320 and you can keep track of everything we're doing. However, you can also get a free month of 17 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:57,600 premium support by using the promo code that is pinned on the top of our Locals feed, 18 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,280 and you can get access to our weekly supporters exclusive live streams where we talk about stuff 19 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,800 that we're thinking out loud about, not quite ready to put into the public sphere, but yeah, 20 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,600 come hang out roundingtheearth.locals.com. For example, this past week, Matthew gave a very 21 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:23,200 interesting discussion on the current global banking implosion, as he put it, very informative 22 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,640 as always. So after just a quick check to make sure everything is working okay, we are going to 23 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:40,960 jump right in. All right, let's do this. So, do do do do do. First of all, I'm going to do a series 24 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:47,680 of recommended watches for this week. Item one, Jay Cooey and Paul Alexander joined forces. Dr. 25 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,360 Paul Alexander, Ph.D., joined forces with our friend Jonathan Cooey on a pair of live stream 26 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,760 discussions this past week on Giga-Ohm Biological. The pair brought together their converging 27 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:06,640 perspectives on what actually happened during the COVID-19 era from 2020 to present, working 28 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:15,040 through the nuances of how infectious clones of an RNA virus may have been used as a multi-pronged 29 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:21,440 biological and psychological attack on people around the world. As Dr. Alexander repeatedly 30 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,280 reminds the audience, the genius behind their discussion is not that either person claims to 31 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:34,720 have the full picture, rather that both sides are openly exploring the possibility that the entire 32 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:42,640 mental model of the COVID-19 pandemic needs to be revisited and reassessed based on the evidence 33 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:49,840 as it is. I recommend you follow Dr. Paul Alexander on Substack and Giga-Ohm Biological on Twitch, 34 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,200 and I will mention as well that today the show notes are available to follow along with where 35 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,080 you'll find the links to basically everything we discussed. So if you're in the Rumble chat or the 36 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:08,960 Locals chat, that will be available to you. And yeah, and it's also posted on the randomgirth.locals.com 37 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:15,120 feed which is in the description. So moving forward, Banking Collapse and FedNow. On the 38 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,160 Unlimited Hangout podcast yesterday, writer and researcher Whitney Webb was joined by guests 39 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,400 Marty Bent and Michael Krieger to discuss the background and implications of the escalating 40 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,560 global banking crisis that seems to have just popped out of nowhere for most people. 41 00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:35,600 One thing I want to point out in particular that I found really interesting from this show is 42 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,520 Whitney's mention of a service being rolled out right now by the Federal Reserve System called 43 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:49,040 FedNow, which looks like it could operate as the basis of a central bank digital currency. 44 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:54,160 I'm sure nobody is too surprised, but I highly recommend checking out this episode of Unlimited 45 00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:00,480 Hangout. And finally, very excited about this, on Tuesday, Rounding the Earth founder Matthew 46 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:06,400 Crawford appeared for an interview with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, founder of Brighteon 47 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,760 and Natural News. Of course, one of the platforms on which Rounding the Earth podcast gets posted 48 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,520 is Brighteon. So we're very happy to be there. For some reason, Facebook doesn't let us post 49 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,840 that link though, which I find very interesting. Their open and friendly discussion focused on 50 00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:29,600 Matthew's Chaos Agents series and touched on a number of other interesting areas of discussion. 51 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,560 I'm very happy to have helped set this one up and I look forward to their next conversation, 52 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,400 hopefully very soon. All right, moving into our first real story of the day, 53 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:48,640 Moderna patent lawsuit goes to Discovery. Pfizer is not the only company fighting to keep COVID-19 54 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:55,040 vaccine-related evidence hidden from the courts and by extension, the public. After a March 10th 55 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,720 decision by District Court Judge Mitchell Goldberg, Moderna will have to face the process of 56 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:07,680 Discovery. Moderna is defending themselves in a lawsuit that centers around the company's use of 57 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:15,360 patented lipid nanoparticle technology in their COVID-19 genetic vaccine products, technology over 58 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:22,480 which some half a dozen or more biotech companies continue to wrestle over ownership. For a deeper 59 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:29,440 dive into the developmental history of the lipid nanoparticles and the dozens of associated 60 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,120 patents, I recommend everyone take the time to read through my prior article titled, Follow the 61 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:41,840 Patents, Lipid Nanoparticles and COVID-19 Genetic Vaccines. It's long, but it's worth the read. 62 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:45,920 And don't do what my friend Sonya did and skip to the end. Totally missing the point. 63 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:54,880 So in March 2022, Vancouver-based Arbutus Bio Pharma and its partner company, 64 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:01,440 Genovant Sciences, or sorry, Royvant Sciences, Genovant or Royvant? Hmm, no, Genovant. There you 65 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,240 go. I used the wrong logo, but the correct company in there. Ah, filed a lawsuit asserting that 66 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:13,520 Moderna had knowingly violated its intellectual property rights. The complaint cites the following 67 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,560 specific patents under its control. I'm not going to list all the numbers, but two of them refer, 68 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:24,560 well, one, two, three, four, five of them refer to lipid formulations for nucleic acid delivery, 69 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:32,000 and one of them refers to lipid compositions for nucleic acid delivery. So presumably these patents 70 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,680 are all referenced. They're all used in the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine product. 71 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:46,320 Notably, the United States government filed a so-called statement of interest on February 14, 72 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:55,920 2023, asserting that the mRNA-1273 product in question was developed for the government, 73 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,880 requesting that they take over for Moderna as defendants in the case. And of course, it is true 74 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:06,960 that NIAID, the United States government, is accepting royalty payments for that particular 75 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,280 product. Okay, here's the good news, going off script for a second. Once discovery occurs, 76 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:20,960 that then has the potential to become public as a part of public court filings. So things that 77 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:28,400 Moderna is compelled to release to the plaintiff. So hopefully that will be the case. And that is 78 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,120 what's going on as well with the Pfizer lawsuit that Brooke Jackson brought. They're right now 79 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,440 fighting tooth and nail to keep discovery from happening. So we've now reached that same part 80 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:45,920 here. Okay, next topic. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to be moving ahead with his presidential run. 81 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:52,800 The heir to the legendary Kennedy political dynasty, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to be 82 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,440 moving ahead with the initial steps in a run for president of the United States. On March 11, 83 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:05,440 2023, RFK published an article on his Substack newsletter calling for funding and volunteers 84 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:11,920 to explore the viability of a presidential run. The statement coincided with the third 85 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,120 anniversary of the World Health Organization's declaration that COVID-19 was officially 86 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:24,960 considered a pandemic, a move perhaps not lost on Kennedy's allies. Now there's an interesting 87 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:32,400 series of events that went into this. Steve Kirsch, an ally of RFK, published an article on his, 88 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,920 oh forgive me, had started discussing his intentions to create a super PAC or a super 89 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:45,200 political action committee to draft Kennedy to run for president as early as January, 2023, 90 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:52,000 announcing as much on this January 23 live stream of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation 91 00:09:52,560 --> 00:10:00,640 alongside Dr. Robert Malone. He followed this up with a February 13 article on his Substack titled 92 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:07,040 I'm forming a super PAC to draft RFK Jr. to run for president, requesting volunteers. But as I was 93 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,720 writing that, I realized in fact, I remember him saying this even sooner or alluding to the idea 94 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:19,840 that Kennedy might be interested in running for president way back in December 2021 during an 95 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,840 appearance on the Alex Jones show. And I thought I would play that for you now. 96 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,480 Segment in all your other big news, but why can't we get Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to run again? 97 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,520 I mean, I guarantee you Republicans and Democrats would vote for him. He'd be the next president. 98 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:44,240 I agree with you, Alex. He has no intention, does he? Let's just say I can't talk about that, Alex. 99 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,160 Oh boy, well he's what we need. How coy of him. 100 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,640 I don't know how many people were aware that that had happened or that Steve Kersh even 101 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:01,200 appeared on the Alex Jones show. So there you go. Now in terms of public reaction, well, 102 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,240 Politico described Kennedy as the vaccine apostate. I'm not even sure what that word means, 103 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,680 to be honest, and implied it wouldn't necessarily be ideal if he was given a platform on the debate 104 00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:19,680 stage, but that's okay. All right, now to our main story for the day, potential conflict of interest, 105 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:27,040 who's surprised, in British Columbia vaccine passport lawsuit. This lovely gentleman right here 106 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:37,760 is Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson. So here's what happened. Chief Justice Hinkson, Chief of the 107 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:44,160 Supreme Court of British Columbia is under new scrutiny, as the media people say, for a potential 108 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:50,000 conflict of interest involving his position on the board of directors for the Vancouver Foundation. 109 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:57,040 On March 12th, Kip Warner of the Canadian Society for the Advancement of Science in Public Policy, 110 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:03,920 or CSAP, published an investigative article outlining this concern. So here's some background. 111 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:10,400 CSAP had filed several legal challenges in response to government measures introduced 112 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:16,640 related to COVID-19. One of these cases, centered on so-called vaccine passports, 113 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:22,560 which CSAP argued violated the rights and freedoms of Canadians. British Columbia's Provincial Health 114 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:30,560 Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, was named as the defendant. Although the hearings themselves 115 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,560 seemed to suggest that Hinkson was weighing the evidence reasonably, and potentially in fact, 116 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:45,200 in favor of CSAP, he returned with a disappointing decision to dismiss the case in September 2019. 117 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:52,000 As Warner explained in his status update, he disagreed, we disagreed with his disagreement. 118 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:59,120 Warner argued that Hinkson made several mistakes in his ruling, particularly failing to recognize 119 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,560 that for various reasons, he was in fact legally required to evaluate whether the public health 120 00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:10,400 orders related to vaccine passports violated Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and 121 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:17,040 Freedoms. Section 7 describes protections to life, liberty, and security of the person. In fact, 122 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,240 we previously covered the specific reason why this was an error that he did not perform this 123 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:29,040 constitutional evaluation. Nonetheless, he needs to. Now, disagreement on the law does not 124 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,320 necessarily suggest that the other side of the argument is corrupt. Not everyone you disagree 125 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:41,120 with is a bad guy. Even good judges make bad decisions from time to time, whether as a personal 126 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:48,400 failure or simply a different reading of the law. In this case, it seems clear that the court will 127 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:55,120 have to take a closer look at the basis on which Judge Hinkson dismissed the case and return to 128 00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:04,240 the table if CSAP is correct in their argument. But what if the judge is wrong? What if the 129 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:13,040 judge is wrong? What if there exists another factor around Hinkson that is at risk of interfering 130 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:21,040 in the decision-making process? As Warner revealed in his article, just such a factor may have been 131 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:28,240 identified. So in addition to serving as the province's chief justice, a tremendously 132 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:34,640 important role in the court's decision-making process, he also serves as a member of the 133 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:42,960 board of directors for the Vancouver Foundation. As Kip explains, this isn't new. The board seat 134 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,920 that he occupies has been reserved for whoever holds the office of chief justice since the 135 00:14:47,920 --> 00:15:02,080 year before. Like other foundations, the Vancouver Foundation receives money from donors and also 136 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:08,160 gives money to people and organizations for various uses. So Warner explains, I quote, 137 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,600 the foundation, like most, endeavors to not disperse the principle of their funds. Instead, 138 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,640 they invest it with the assistance of portfolio managers that work at major financial institutions 139 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:25,440 like Toronto Dominion or TD Bank. These portfolio managers are tasked with generating dividends, 140 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:32,720 returns from investments, to regularly increase the CTF. These proceeds are then distributed 141 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,360 to various nonprofits and charities seeking donations in response to applications. 142 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:43,760 But problematically, Hinkson is privy to which specific investments the fund is making. It is 143 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:51,120 not a blind trust. That means he has direct knowledge of, for example, which pharmaceutical 144 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,560 companies the Vancouver Foundation has a financial interest in, either directly or through exchange 145 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:03,600 traded funds, ETFs, like groups of investments. Kip does a great job in his status update, 146 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,880 laying out why this is a problem for those who can't put two and two together. I quote again, 147 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:15,200 the potential conflicts transcend merely CSAP's affairs. With the Vancouver Foundation donating 148 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:21,680 to various policing charities and the chief justice potentially presiding over criminal matters, 149 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:28,560 endless new questions are raised about every destination of the foundation's money. 150 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:34,320 Ah, now Kip and I spoke on the phone a couple days ago after I read the story, and it's clear 151 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:39,920 there's an even deeper set of relationships that the general public should know about and understand. 152 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,000 I have taken it upon myself to attempt to expand on what Kip has thus far presented 153 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,120 and add a further dimension to the problematic exchanges of money and 154 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,720 soft influence around the Vancouver Foundation. 155 00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:00,080 So let's start by expanding on the donations to various public health agencies that Kip covered 156 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:08,160 in his article. So here's a nice little graphic I put together. In fiscal year, so I'm now going to 157 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:14,240 quote from his article, in fiscal year 2021, the Vancouver Foundation donated to the Public Health 158 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:23,040 Association of British Columbia $193,072 and to four public health agencies, including the 159 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:30,800 $192 and to Fraser Health Authority, some $93,000. The year prior of 2020, Vancouver Coastal Health 160 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:36,960 Authority received $100,000 from the foundation. A charity set up by the British Columbia Centre 161 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:43,040 for Disease Control to receive donations, the BC CDC Foundation for Population and Public Health 162 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:51,920 received $13,000. During the onset to the alleged pandemic in 2019, many of you will recall the 163 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:58,000 traditional intellectual safeguards were largely mute. The British Columbia Civil Liberties 164 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:05,040 Association received $151,000. Other recipients during that fiscal year include the BC CDC's 165 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:12,080 Foundation at $57,000, Fraser Health Authority at $41,000, the Registered Nurses Foundation of 166 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:19,040 British Columbia at $4,000 and a charity set up by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation at $1,000. 167 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:29,200 The previous fiscal year of 2018, the BC CDC Foundation again received $57,000, Fraser Health 168 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:36,080 Authority $41,000, the BC Civil Liberties Association $36,000 and once again $1,000 for the 169 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:41,520 CBC's charity. Okay, there you go. So those are the logos of those organizations. If you live 170 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:47,920 around where I do, you'll recognize some or all of them, at least two of them. Well, let's just say 171 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,640 Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal Health have taken great steps to influence how I live my 172 00:18:52,640 --> 00:19:01,120 day-to-day life. Let's just say that. So let's focus on the BC CDC Foundation for Public Health. 173 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:10,640 So it is, as mentioned, it is the fundraising partner for the British Columbia Center for Disease 174 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:18,160 Control. They are separate organizations. As Kip outlines, the foundation has repeatedly 175 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,680 turned around and re-donated the funds given to it by not just the Vancouver Foundation, 176 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:32,480 but re-donated to just a couple of recipients. I'm going to quote again, in fiscal year 2021, 177 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:41,360 the BC CDC Foundation donated to the Provincial Health Services Authority $140,000. $147,000. 178 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:50,240 Man, these numbers start to roll together. The year prior of 2020, an amount of $487,000 179 00:19:51,040 --> 00:20:00,560 was donated to the DHSA. In 2019, they received $588,000. In 2018, they received $290,000. 180 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:11,280 $290,000. 2017 was $426,000. And the BC CDC Foundation in 2017 donated to the CDC itself 181 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:21,840 $15,000. Too many numbers. Recall that PHSA is Dr. Bonnie Henry's employer. And Dr. Bonnie Henry 182 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:28,640 is a defendant named in all of our litigation, including the petition in which the Chief Justice 183 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,880 presided over. It is impossible for any reasonable person to characterize the movement of substantial 184 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:41,520 sums of money in this manner under the direction of the Chief Justice as, at the very least, 185 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:50,240 not carrying the perception of a conflict of interest." End quote. I'll also add that Henry 186 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:58,480 used to work for the BCCDC from December 2013 to August 2014. Yeah, I'd say this looks like a 187 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:07,040 pretty cozy long-term financial relationship. But the intrigue continues. Until recently, 188 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:13,040 the BCCDC Foundation's board of directors counted as an advisor one Jennifer Gardy, 189 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:20,080 who went on to be hired as Deputy Director of Surveillance, Data, and Epidemiology at the Bill 190 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:29,360 and Melinda Gates Foundation in February 2019. She had advised the BCCDC Foundation starting in 2011 191 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:36,880 and continued to do so at least into the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, 192 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,920 while in her new role at the totally not involved Gates Foundation. 193 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:52,400 And furthermore, the BCCDC Foundation's donors over the last several years include none other 194 00:21:52,400 --> 00:22:01,600 than Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, AbbVie, and Gilead Sciences, all pharmaceutical companies whose 195 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:08,320 therapeutics and vaccines were aggressively promoted during the province of British Columbia's 196 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,760 COVID-19 response. And just to make sure we're being specific for those who don't know, 197 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:22,000 Pfizer, they were promoting their Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, otherwise known as BNT162B2, 198 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:29,360 as well as PaxLimit. GlaxoSmithKline, they were promoting a couple of different monoclonal 199 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:36,240 antibody products, as well as MediCoggo's virus-like particle plant-based vaccine. They 200 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:43,920 were MediCoggo's partner on that one. Merck, obviously, Molnupiravir, AbbVie, Calitra, 201 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:50,400 which I think was another monoclonal antibody. And Gilead Sciences, the ever deadly Remdesivir. 202 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,440 Now, it was not a passing relationship between the Foundation and these pharmaceutical companies. In 203 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:09,040 fact, in the Foundation's 2017-2018 annual report, they specifically highlight Pfizer as one of their 204 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,320 original partners. I quote, this year, we would like to acknowledge Pfizer, one of our original 205 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:20,240 partners, supporting activities since early days and demonstrating a remarkable relationship 206 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:26,960 and successful partnership. Pfizer's support has enabled us to develop our capacity and 207 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:34,000 key activities, such as our strategic planning process and to support innovative immunization 208 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:40,480 activities, such as Kids Boost Immunity. Keep that in your head, we're going to come back to that. 209 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:46,880 And the Western Immunization Forum. We truly appreciate the ongoing commitment, support, 210 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:52,800 and confidence in our mission and are optimistic that Pfizer will continue to be part of our 211 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,720 success. Oh, I have no doubt they wound up being part of the success, if you want to call it that. 212 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:06,800 Talk about a glowing review. Funnily enough, though, if you go to the Foundation's Public Health 213 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:12,080 Champions donor page now and look for Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, or Gilead in particular, 214 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:22,560 they're not there anymore. I wonder why. Okay, now moving on. Another of the Vancouver Foundation's 215 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:32,240 grant recipients is the Public Health Association of British Columbia. PHABC is largely focused 216 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:38,400 on combating vaccine hesitancy, as affirmed in the organization's most recent annual report. 217 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:46,160 Now, I said keep Kids Boost Immunity in your head. Well, this organization co-leads Kids Boost 218 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:53,040 Immunity, a vaccine promotion initiative funded by, well, there they are, none other than Pfizer, 219 00:24:53,040 --> 00:25:00,960 GlaxoSmithKline, and Merck, among a bunch of others. Yikes, you can't make this stuff up, guys. 220 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:08,640 So let's leave it at that for now. I think the point is made here. And 221 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:14,480 as someone in the Province of British Columbia, I'd like to wave a little, which color flag should I 222 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:23,600 wave? Sam, which color flag should I wave? White. You want me to wave a white flag? She showed me a 223 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:29,120 book that is the color white. Okay, so we give up. Good job, everybody. It was a good run while it 224 00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:34,560 lasted. Well, I have some friends who are doctors who don't intend to, and let's speak about that. 225 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,600 The Province of British Columbia, everybody, is in dire straits, and apparently we're supposed to 226 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:48,080 give up now. But many people don't know the extent to which BC is in dire straits. Our new premier, 227 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:56,160 David Eby, pushed through the terribly concerning Bill 36 without fanfare, threatening to consolidate 228 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,600 all of British Columbia's professional health colleges, including allied health colleges, 229 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:08,240 into an authoritarian, censorship-prone system without recourse for practitioners or patients 230 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:16,000 alike. It even contains language that basically, actually explicitly paves the way for the World 231 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:22,080 Health Organization's pandemic treaty with teeth to actually become enforceable law in the province. 232 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:31,440 This is not good. How did this happen? I think I was just born into this. But it's becoming more 233 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,800 and more clear each day that British Columbia's institutions, in particular, have been captured, 234 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:44,240 perhaps more than others. Maybe they were grown captured. Many people can feel it, 235 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,720 but we've lacked the understanding, I think, of how to deal with this. 236 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:55,760 But we've lacked the understanding, I think, of how or what such corruption looks like 237 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,560 in the real world. We get it conceptually, but how does it actually manifest? 238 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:08,560 Now, Kip made it clear to me on the phone that he is not asserting that Judge Hinkson did exercise 239 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:14,960 any hard influence over the outcome of his COVID-19-related cases, including Kip's, 240 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:22,640 or that hard influence was exercised over Judge Hinkson by outside forces such as Pfizer, per se. 241 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:30,320 Rather, what we're looking at is a system of soft power, one which by its very nature 242 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:39,280 causes interest to become confused and misbalanced. Intention is not necessary to define outcome here. 243 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:45,040 Of all institutions, of course, the judiciary is supposed to be the most independent, 244 00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:49,120 the fair balancing, the weighing of the facts and the exercise of the law. 245 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:57,200 But if this is not the case, then this must be addressed by an informed and enthusiastic public. 246 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:05,680 The Western Standard reported that concerns over Hinkson's potential conflict of interest 247 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:12,320 quietly circulated via email threads and private messaging groups since last week. 248 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,680 You know the ones. We're all in them, maybe not these ones specifically, 249 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,840 but we're overloaded with signal and telegram chats that we'll never keep up with. 250 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,320 People usually jump to conclusions in those or get all excited about things as they come, 251 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,440 and it's understandable. But in this case, I applaud the cautious approach taken by Warner, 252 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:37,040 the CSAP and their peers, and I look forward to seeing where the case goes from here. 253 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,120 Now that's all for today, folks. So please don't forget, if you haven't yet, join us at 254 00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:50,000 www.roundingtheearth.locals.com, join our community and become part of the, what do we call it, 255 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,800 the burgeoning research community to help us unflatten the earth and perhaps clean up 256 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,640 British Columbia's judicial system if you have some extra time to help us do so. 257 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:07,760 And you can find me at liamsturgis.com, and I look forward to seeing you all again very, very soon. 258 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:29,360 Thank you for watching. Have an excellent rest of your afternoon.
