"We have to import certain technology from countries that hate us to make military weapons to defend us. …Imagine that you are a king trying to protect your castle, and you have to get behind your castle walls and yell out on your castle megaphone: excuse me, enemy, could you please ship us spears? We are trying to protect ourselves … from you. …And then the hostile enemy says, sure, how many spears do you need? …Also the CCP, they are not competition. They are an enemy. The Chinese Communist Party does forced organ harvesting. The Chinese Communist Party has no problem with sending people to re-education camps. The Chinese Communist Party is not somebody that we should be working with.” Entrepreneur Clay Clark, host of Thrivetime Show https://rumble.com/v6x6hq6-why-are-we-relying-on-enemy-nations-for-critical-supplies-clay-clark.html

"I never thought I would see some of these types of changes in my lifetime,” says investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson. “We're suddenly talking about the removal of artificial food dyes, which have been linked from everything from cancer to ADHD and a whole lot of other chronic disorders that we're all suffering from. There's so many toxic exposures. The notion of fluoride coming out of the water…food being reformulated to get rid of some of the ultra-processed chemicals that we know for a fact test in animals and sometimes in people as very harmful, and yet have been ignored. …This is a big change that this is now all on the table.” 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/4m2Oqly

"Before we knew the government had subpoenaed secretly records of AP reporters, before we knew they'd spied on James Rosen of Fox News but during the same time period, I was reporting on controversies under the Obama administration and, quite frankly, other controversies. So, I didn't know who would be spying on me if somebody was. I never suspected that was the case, but intelligence sources, two in a row in the same time period, came to me and said that the Obama administration was violating civil rights through surveillance in ways that most Americans would find shocking. Both of them used similar phrases, didn't even know each other, and suggested that I was probably being monitored. [It] sounded crazy, because it just never occurred to me.” - Sharyl Attkisson 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/4m2Oqly

"I remember when President Obama made an announcement shortly before the [2016] election…'We're going to need to curate information in this wild, wild west media environment.' I had never heard that suggestion in my life before. Now it's accepted. Everybody wants their news curated. …I knew there must be a motive behind that, because the President doesn't make new ideas willy-nilly, just off the top of his head. And from that moment on, the fake news effort to undermine President Trump and his supporters…and all the fake fact-check groups that exploded and some new nonprofits that do this—that all was born in that very short time period. …Suddenly, the public wanted their news fact-checked, wanted their favorite news outlets to censor stuff that they didn't think other people should see."

"Inside almost every major federal agency, there are these debates & discussions going on w/ ppl who are true believers, somewhere in there, in changing the broken systems that we've had, that I think most of the public would agree have been broken for decades." - Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/4m2Oqly

Can states reduce their dependence on China and become robust manufacturing bases? Oklahoma Governor Kevn Stitt says yes. "If there is some kind of conflict between Taiwan and China, it could make the COVID pandemic x20 as far as supply chains. And so, we were trying to ask all of our state agencies, 'Hey, can y'all do a deep dive to see what what would happen with state government if we did lose some of that supply chain with some kind of conflict over there?'" 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/4fjPTRW

Governor Kevin Stitt: "We just landed the largest aluminum smelting company that's going to be built in the state of Oklahoma. They haven't built a new smelter for 45 years. …We want Oklahoma to be the critical mineral capital of the United States. So, we've got tons of companies that are moving here for new processes and things that Americans take for granted. We have to bring that supply chain closer to home, whether it's batteries or magnets and the things that go into every part of our life." https://rumble.com/v6wy4ym-governor-kevin-stitt-on-reindustrializing-oklahoma-and-unplugging-from-chin.html

"I've signed MOUs with Taiwan and the UK and multiple other countries. They're going to the states now because Congress is so dysfunctional, it's so political, it's so partisan, that they're literally coming directly to the states."

"Two days after the election in 2016, I was called up on the NSA phone. The person said I had to be on the intelligence community assessment that was assembling to finalize the Russia narrative. because we were going to prove that Trump was a Russian asset, and we were going to delay or block the inauguration of Donald J. Trump for the first term. I just couldn't believe it. This is what I was told on the phone. So, this was a deep state coup from the beginning that actually started in early 2016. We went through the process in November, December. The final product came out in the first few days of January, 2017. But bottom line - [in] the supposed Top Secret Review, there was nothing there to show that Russia was trying to manipulate the campaign or the outcome of the election in the favor of Donald J Trump,” says Col. (Ret.) John Mills. He served as the Director for Cybersecurity Policy, Strategy, and International Affairs in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/3H5lMky

"What happened in South Korea - absolutely no question about it. This was an international election cartel that influenced the South Korean election. The numbers just mathematically made no sense. There were Chinese operators at the polling stations. You have this thing called the 'National Election Commission,' which is an unassailable body. It's un-auditable and un-investigatable by the South Korean government. And also a very, very problematic situation is it has members of the South Korean Supreme Court on the board of the National Election Commission - a clear failure to separate powers between parts of the South Korean government.” Col. (Ret.) John Mills, former Director of cybersecurity policy at the Dept. of Defense, has been monitoring the recent election in South Korea, and noticed disturbing patterns. https://rumble.com/v6wuxme-how-the-chinese-communist-party-influenced-south-korea-elections-john-mills.html

"[China is] absolutely advancing a relentless onslaught of info warfare - through their media, through their wolf warriors - to advance a Chinese communist message that just drowns out everything else. And there's no intellectual honesty in their viewpoint." - Col. John Mills 🔴 PREMIERE 7/29 at 9PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/3H5lMky

Can Trump pull off a “reverse Kissinger” — and drive a wedge between Russia and the Chinese Communist Party? Gen. Michael Flynn says yes. “If there’s one person that can do it, he can pull Russia out of that orbit. If we don't, then we have an alliance that's much more dangerous for the existence of the United States of America. And there are people in our government that want that, they want that tension, and we can't have it. I'm not an apologist. … I'm looking at the geo-strategic dynamics that are going on globally. And I'm watching closely what the Chinese are doing. … It is the death knell for Russia. Russia will just become a satellite of China." 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/3TZbGVb

Gen. Michael Flynn: "They made a conscious decision to weaponize themselves, not only against General Mike Flynn, but also the incoming national security advisor, which is a monumental role in our government…And they made a conscious decision to weaponize components of the government against the President of the United States himself. …The weaponization of the United States government against its own citizenry is very real. It happens on a daily basis. And it doesn't just happen to high-profile political figures. …They put the full weight of their authorities against any American who can't financially afford it, can't emotionally sustain it, and really doesn't have the wherewithal to be able to even understand what is happening. And the next thing that happens is they find themselves in a place where they have to plead guilty to something that they know they didn't do, because otherwise they're going to be completely crushed, and their families are going to be destroyed." In this episode, Michael Flynn reflects on the Russia investigation almost a decade later and Tulsi Gabbard’s release of revealing new declassified documents. https://rumble.com/v6wq0fa-michael-flynn-reflects-on-the-russia-investigation.html

Michael Flynn says he hopes Tulsi Gabbard will release all the transcripts of his conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and others. “I was protecting the United States of America from enemies, foreign and domestic—and they knew it,” he says. 🔴 PREMIERE 5PM ET on @EpochTV: https://ept.ms/3TZbGVb

The trafficking of American citizens, primarily women and children, continues to increase in America, while prosecutions decrease. Despite sound anti-trafficking laws on the books, there is little enforcement, says Jaco Booyens. Gen Z, which spends much of their time online, is particularly vulnerable to predators who, over an average period of nine months, groom and desensitize them to gain proximity. “It's the exploitation of vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, Gen Z displays their vulnerabilities publicly. It's not hidden. They overshare publicly. It's easy to read them,” Booyens says. Jaco Booyens is founder of the anti-trafficking organization Jaco Booyens Ministries. https://rumble.com/v6wn74i-how-traffickers-prey-on-americas-vulnerable-youth-jaco-booyens.html

"Porn is highly addictive because it alters the neural pathways in the brain. It literally shuts down certain areas of the brain and fires up other areas. This is real. This is science. It's biology.

"The number one predictor for academic success for a student is parental involvement. So anybody that stands in the way of parents being involved is actually seeking the destruction of that child's education," argues Sam Sorbo. She's the co-founder of Parents Demanding Justice Alliance (PDJA) with Kelly Walker. They've recently put together a dossier of how certain parents were censored, surveilled, and smeared during the pandemic. "What's amazing is that there weren't more parents that found themselves in this position…There were so many parents who were willing to just lie down and let the schools do whatever they wanted…We need parents more involved and more aware,” Sorbo says. 🔴 WATCH FULL: https://ept.ms/3GZpdsP

"We’re getting death threats, threats to kill my children. We're getting doxed. Phone rings. An 18 year old barista picks up the phone. She's calling an f-ing c*** - you can fill in the blank. Our employees were terrified." Kelly Walker, a local coffee shop owner in Tucson, Arizona, never imagined how his world would turn upside down when he started speaking out publicly against COVID-19 mandates and the devastating harm to children. At a Board of Supervisors meeting, after he read aloud some of the hateful comments and threats his family had to deal with, he was surrounded by three officers, handcuffed, and booked for disorderly conduct. https://rumble.com/v6wjsl8-surveilled-silenced-and-smeared-how-parents-became-targets-kelly-walker-and.html
