In an era that applauds Artificial Intelligence, are we trading logical thinking away in the name of convenience? A largescale of experiment was carried out worldwide during lockdown, but what if what comes next is an online mind woke virus?

Representative Matt Gaetz became the poster boy in the recent US House Speaker Election. After 15 rounds of voting, consensus was reached when Kevin McCarthy agreed to a whole list of demands by 20 representatives. It set in motion meaningful reforms that essentially make Congress less of a rubber stamping institution but actual ground for healthy policy government discussion, agreement, disagreement, and consensus.

“The pharmaceutical industry is dangerous to health. Further proof with COVID-19.” reads the title of an article published by NIH, UK. In recent times, we have seen an alarming sharp rise in the sudden collapse of young healthy athletes, so much so that a name is been given to it - “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome”.   Many times in the show, we have talked about developing discernment to navigate through the control of big government and authoritarian system. The global virus was merely an experimental ground for the exertion of totalitarian control. What might be next? Online woke virus? This episode is one to watch as one considers a paradigm shift to navigate through in the days ahead.

Much like the frog in a slowly heating pan of water, history has demonstrated that societies often assume the roles of useful idiots when they are quick to ignore a slow descent into autocracy and fascism all for the “greater good”. In this episode, we see the true colours of a tyrannical leader who regards the unvaxxed with disdain, including his own citizens who are being threatened and blamed for the ongoing COVID crisis. As you follow this video, you’ll find informative discussion that talks about the ten stages of genocide, and grateful we are to those people that the authoritarian government had us embarrassed, ridiculed, mocked, and torn down, because their perseverance and courage had ended domination by big pharma companies and World Economic Forum.

George Orwell critised the manipulation of citizens by totalitarian regimes in his book “1984”. When the fourth estate failed to hold the present-day government accountable with its evolution into a mere echo chamber of the leftist regime, we see the rise of citizen journalism. For those of you interested to venture into citizen journalism, this is an episode to watch!

Governor DeSantis recently dropped the hammer on the biopharmaceutical medical state when he introduced mRNA accountability hearing. It was nothing short of epic — as he brought in renowned experts like doctors Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, and others to testify against Fauci-ism.  Find out in this part 2 of the podcast where we explore the moves that Governor DeSantis takes in offering critical assessments of things that bureaucracies like the FDA, CDC, and NIH are doing.

The recent release of Twitter files by billionaire tech mogul, Elon Musk, has had the world dumbfounded by the lies that have been at play. In fact, Twitter was operating a giant political censorship machine applied with brute computer force. If you’re interested in the geeky side of the US political landscape, you won’t want to miss this first part of our podcast.

With the active push to use the media for ideological efforts in the international platform, we have seen an increase in active consumers of the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party. A vast effort to get everybody thinking together, aka unity of thought, is in the play.  We explore independent Chinese media's take on the pursuit of freedom of speech in Malaysia and their unique take on a unity government.

In an increasingly polarizing world with contrasting points of view and often extreme polar opposites in political positions – are we able to draw a clear line between freedom, liberty, and a globalist totalitarian system? What happens when democracy becomes corrupt and controlling or when a dictator becomes benevolent if such a thing is even possible?

An interesting trend was observed among the 6.9 million new voters in this 15th Malaysian General Election. It was not homogeneous, and many's primary source of information was social media. In this episode, we explore how our guests, being first-time voters themselves, came to make an informed decision in spite of the social media frenzy.

Within the first week from the polling day, Malaysians have been treated to interesting political development in the country. Are we finally starting to see the decoupling of the centralised power at the federal level with the formation of a unity government? You’ll find out more in this episode!
