I'm commenting at the 35 minute mark after your criticism of Bret Weinstein. I would love for you to have a convo with Bret. I don't think he's advocating for what you're suggesting. I do think that IT IS CRITICAL that we band together and not become fractured, exactly for the reasons Bret so eloquently explained in a recent Darkhorse podcast. Goliath is a unified monster looking to divide and conquer. Our gov't has been using these strategies, successfully for years to destroy many progressive anti-gov't organizations. So I think you got Bret wrong here. Go on his show rather than throwing darts.

I think he was actually talking about the people who accuse everyone of being controlled opposition. I would love to have Bret. Any time.

I'm with you 100% on your stance on Israel, really impressed that you're not letting the people hating on you get to you. You're even digging your heels in harder, I love that. I tune in to Andrew Lawton as often as I can, Rebel News as often as I can, but those two independent news organizations are totally sympathetic to Israel, cannot see or have zero sympathy towards the people of Palestine. None. And that disgusts me. Oh, one more thing, Andrew Lawton had John Carpay on as a guest there about a week or two ago,, Carpay is also an Israeli sympathizer. Just thought you should know.

Trish, another great podcast. You had briefly mentioned Roman Baber, I actually voted for him in the leadership race. I liked him the best. He knew lockdowns and vaccine mandates were BS, and he let Doug Ford know about it. And it cost him his position in government. I was wondering at the beginning how to pronounce his name - Baber, rhymes with "fader"? Or Baber, rhymes with "gabber". Then I heard him say his own name, it's Baber, rhymes with "gabber". I know, I'm a little anal when it comes to name pronunciation, I'm the one that left you a voice memo on how you pronounce Tamara Litch's name. And during this podcast, you were going back and forth between the two pronunciations. I'm just curious, I've never in my life heard anyone with that name, Tamara, pronounce it the way you do. Where did you get that from? You're still the best, so glad I came across your podcast. I never miss them.

War is the last resort when the population is not playing along with the globalists’ plans. Their plans are for us to roll over to the central bankster’s take-over of all our assets and money via various means: first, the WHO One Health global coup that will bring in vaccine passports and digital IDs and hamstring our sovereignty over health, food, and energy, which will decimate our economy. Secondly, the coming constructed economic crash and cyber attack will usher in central bank digital currencies that Catherine Austin Fitts and Richard Warner assert will be the total end of freedom. THIS is where we are headed. All this war is distraction, when we should be busy working with all our time and energy to ensure legislation that guarantees our financial transaction freedom and to pool our resources to start building local independent banks - lots of them (Solari.com). Yikes. What better way to stop the masses from taking back their control and freedom from the criminals and their evil schemes, but to send them to their deaths on the front lines.

I would be interested in hearing from some of the regular folks who did not go along to get along with the Covid propaganda that was flooding populations, especially in Canada. Canadians can be very compliant, something I really noticed when I had an opportunity to live in the U.S. where people are not so "agreeable". When did you realize that this whole thing was hinky, and what led you to such a conclusion? Personally, I just happened to have been studying information from Dr. Zach Bush regarding the nature, and necessity, of viruses. When Covid started erupting I was already well prepared to not fear a virus and I was quite amazed at governments shutting down society for a virus. I also assumed, wrongly as it turns out, that taking a vaccine (especially one made via novel technology) would be quite naturally a choice that individuals could make and I never had any intention of taking what I viewed to be a completely experimental injection. Moreover, I found 2 studies by John Ioannidis on the CDC website in March and April of 2020 that provided IFRs for the illness and became aware in February 2021 that breakthroughs were already occurring in vaccinated people. My husband and I reviewed whatever information we could find on the B.C. Government's Covid "dashboards" and determined that we were at little risk even though we were both over 65 at the time. Neither of us had any comorbidities and both of kept an eye on our blood results to determine where we might need to pump up our immune system. We also found Dr. Peter McCullough pretty quickly and followed his suggested protocols. So we felt we were doing everything we could. We did pay a price for rejecting vaccines at the time - we couldn't travel to my sister-in-law's funeral; my husband had to say goodbye to his mother on the phone; we lost some friends who couldn't understand our position; and we experienced a degree of marginalization we had never experienced before. At the same time, we got to spend a lot of time together and embarked upon a spiritual journey that I don't think would have happened in the absence of Covid. I also saw very quickly who would "hide us in the attic" and who would have turned us in. It was a very instructive time.

I believe I fall into this category (regular Canadian folk who didn't go along). It was a very instructive time, as you say. I'm also located in BC. What would you like to hear? <3

You are absolutely right, Trish. Your skill as an investigative joirnalist was so crucial at this time. I honestly don't know what we would do here in Canada without you. I am so glad that you refuse to go with the crowd and always speak the truth as you see it. I have admired you for doing this on Iraq, COVID, Ukraine, and now Gaza. You are a true critical thinker. Thank you for being you!

PS. I think you accidentally called Dr. Fraiman Canadian at the end of this show. At least, as far as I know, he is not Canadian. 😄

You are correct about Fraiman....I actually know he is American and I'm not sure where that came from. LOL. Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.

Hello Trish. Great Podcast! I was one who by mere “accident” was in the right place and right time to have sufficient experience and information to see thru the fraudulent “emergency” to which we were subjected with lethal consequences…that continue to this day.

On another subject, I know someone extremely close to the Boeing situation you described. You have the details wrong on the Max. By my saying this, it does not mean there is no culpability, malpractice or malfeasance involved. It’s just that your misunderstanding is flawed and undermines your thesis.

Watch the film Downfall -- it lays out pretty clearly the problem was the MCAS and Boeing lying about the pilots not needing training. What did I get wrong? Love to know more.

Expand full comment

Devil in the details: Am very aware of and watched Downfall. There were two catastrophic incidences, not 3, that resulted in immediate grounding of the type. Both were “Third World” airlines (Lion Air of Indonesia and Ethiopian) in fast growing markets and with pilots of little prior flight time and early experience in a Boeing fight deck. The major operators in the US knew by depth of experience in “manual reversion” (pilot in command) that when disparate inputs were detected, to disable and assume manual control. Used to fly-by-wire, the pilots in those two aircraft were not so aware and so not prepossessed or poised to take that initiative. They only needed to throw the switch that would disable MCAS to take control. So, on the score of training, it is absolutely true that “compromises” were made on transition training to accommodate the airlines’ drive to reduce the training hours. The US domestics drove it. Boeing complied. The absence in foresight to assure there was redundancy (dual systems into MCAS) was indeed discounted as a cost containment consideration (making a 2nd system an option) that in pre-merger Boeing would likely never have got through the safety reviews. Again, the vast majority of the market knew the precedence.

Regulatory capture? Not so sure it was that simple. Clearly by the merger, Boeing culture of engineering prowess and integrity was compromised by the very culture that killed Douglas Aircraft. Could go on about that, for sure. If you want to discuss further, provide me with a means to DM and I’ll share.

Cheers!

I might do a show on this. Are you saying that not wanting to include the pilot training notice to save money for the airlines wasn't part of the problem? I was flying back and forth to Seattle at the time and remember calling Air Canada to see if they were grounding the plane or not.....if I remember correctly they were a little slow. I was too scared to fly it.....

The AC pilots i know are far more concerned with the decreasing safety from staffing shortages in air traffic control. The designed checks and balances are increasingly absent in many locations.

I hate double negatives so I’ll clarify: Leaving the protocol for overriding the MCAS out of the Simulation Training DID contribute to the problem. That’s a matter of record. I suspect, but cannot confirm, that the omission was not likely purposefully done. The vast majority of operators were US domestics (DAL, AAL, ASA, SWA). All operators in this set had operating knowledge, so differences training was to be minimal. I further suspect that it was a detail that was “taken for granted”, not overtly hidden. All experienced 737 drivers I have talked to acknowledge the procedure to immediately disable the MCAS when the signs of runaway appear.

The launch customer internationally and the first to operate the MAX was Lion Air of Indonesia. Their growth created demand for unseasoned pilots.

I am VERY familiar with Air Canada. I’ll explain at a later time on a different line.

Does not absolve Boeing. On the contrary.

Again...love to have further conversation on the larger picture, but not here. Cheers!

Just listened to this podcast, and it really resonated with me on many points. One of the points that resonated the most was how you drew a contrast between urban and rural. I grew up in a rural setting both on a farm and later in the small town of Dorchester Ontario. My first house was in the city of London where my wife and I lived for 12 years. For the last 11 years we have lived in Springfield, a very small agriculture community. I have had to disassociate with many of my friends and family who live in urban areas as they were too afraid to be anywhere near people like me who didn't fear covid. Another point made was about technical people vs the laptop class. I work in the trades and can tell you with certainty the level of your education absolutely coincides with how quickly you bought into the propaganda from the MSM. All the individuals I worked with that were college or University educated (mostly engineers) refused to work in person and demanded to work remotely too avoid personal contact. The tradesmen like myself scoffed at the protocols and for the most part resisted the masking and distancing measures put in place. I personally hit a very low point just before the Freedom Convoy since I refused to comply, my job was at risk along with not being able to do anything outside of our house besides work, I felt like a caged animal and according to the media that was how I should be treated. The Freedom Convoy brought hope yet I feel that hope slipping away. I will be ordering this book as it really intregues me and can't wait to read it.

P.S. Early on in 2020 one of my main sources of info was the Highwire, Del Bigtree and his team were a wonderful source of info, when real information was very difficult to access.

Thanks for all you do Trish!

This came as ane mail from my friend Donald Welsh. A very smart guy.

Hi Trish,

I very much enjoyed your discussion this week with the Covid dissenters and how we deal this the lingering malaise/trepidation. This solution is simple enough…value honesty and respect…implementation is obviously more difficult.

Anyhow, what I was more interested in was your brief discussion on Russia and NATO’s latests moves. I have been following this rather closely and the NATO exercises, presumptively in the border territories, serve two functions. 1) It places military equipment in a region, which could passively slip across the border to support West Ukraine (this is an old but good trick). 2) It sends a signal to Russia not to go too far in its territorial ambitions which I suspect will become more evident in Spring. There are consistent reports of Russia amassing a 400-500 K army behind the conflict lines in preparation for a spring offensive.

I have been following Russian foreign ministry statements fairly closely. First and foremost, they simply don’t trust the west and that means whatever plan they have, they are all in until they are finished. That plan seems to include: 1)annexing all lands east of the Depre (?) river and all territories around the Black Sea (maybe 30% of Urkraine). 2) demilitarizing and politically neutralizing the rest of the Ukraine, except perhaps the far west which is culturally distinct and more aligned with Europe. By controlling Black Sea access, Russia will maintain a political/economic hold on a neutral Ukrainian state.

Russia doesn’t have broader territorial ambitions and I don’t think they see NATO as a serious long term military threat to themselves. Why? Because fighting a war with Russia is a long drawn out affair (some call their approach “aggressive attrition”). NATO isn’t built for this type of war as we are learning. The Western approach is based around rapid, highly technical, engagements. So hit your opponents fast and hard. The main weakness with this approach is its massive expense and weapons can’t be replenished quickly. This just won’t work on a country as large as Russia.

It’s hard for me to rationalize what the west is trying to accomplish geopolitically. The Biden administration seems to have no coherent strategy and frankly I could envision a few years a Europe that is more economically dependent on Russia than the U.S. I should point out there is a strain of thought as expounded by John Bolton, that the Ukraine war is designed to weaken the European Union and make it an improvised vassal state of the U.S. Boy with friends like this……

Anyways just a few thoughts. Hope all is well in TO.

Hi Trish, I enjoyed your interview with Joseph Fraiman, Colin McAdam and Chris Klotz. In your intro you discussed about how only few people where awake to what was going on in regards to Covid, it's dangers, lockdowns, treatments and vaccines. I am curious why you never mention Jeffrey Jaxen & Del Bigtree from the Highwire? I started following them during 2020 and they tried warning people as early as February 2020 that there was something wrong with COVID and the COVID vaccine.

Just finished this massive contribution: thanks very much.

Re. all the war stuff at the end,

1 consider the significance of General Wesley Clark warning us in 2003 (?) about the coming wars (on Democracy Now).

2 Read my Substack article "How to Start a War, And Why".

Thank you for this great podcast. I am only at minute 35, when you wonder how main stream media could have failed. Sadly I don’t think they failed at all- they achieved their aim of keeping us locked away and living in fear and they continue to do so. My question is how these MSM reporters can live with themselves.
