What happens when the internet becomes too chaotic to tell what is real anymore?

Oh yeah, I mean, they're passing a bill that Thomas Massey is fighting against right now that will allow surveillance and kill switches in every single car in America. They're going to federally mandate facial scanners that will be able to read your expressions. Ford also is putting out patents where they could use sound wave systems to interpret what you're saying. It's trauma-based mind control. It's meant to shock you to the point where nothing shocks you. It's meant to sterilize you of any kind of real, unique human emotions that gives you life and breeds this joy that we've had before that we no longer have.
All right, guys, we got Luke back on the show. I think it's your third or fourth time now. I think so, yeah. We always have fun together, man. How you been since I've seen you? Super busy. This media landscape, I think, is more wild than it ever has been. It's very difficult trying to even understand what's the truth and what's not anymore. I think we're living in this like controlled, crazy matrix paradigm where they just throw as much information out there just to muddy the waters. So we're all left discussing all these little issues as the big issues get out there and get done. That is well said, man. I feel like there's just non-stop distractions. Yeah. And fighting and ego and drama, and just like people just trying to attack and destroy each other.
It's such a wild landscape because I've been in independent media for like 21 years now. It's definitely more chaotic than it ever has been. It feels that way. I've only been in it three years, but I feel like right now there's so much infighting, so much division, so much distraction. I mean, with the shooting the other day, I just don't know what to believe in it. Exactly. And there's so much fake news and so much AI, like alterations and so many deep fakes out there. I just did a full deep dive on this just a couple of hours ago on my main YouTube channel and it's like, okay, now let's try to understand what happened here. And it's difficult because you got one side talking about a ballroom and like a coordinated organizer and another side talking about all these other like distraction issues that have all these like hypotheticals in there. And it's like, okay, what actually happened here? Can we get to the core issue? And I think the core issue out of that conversation should be the most productive conversation is how do we de-radicalize people because there are a bunch of violent radicalized individuals that were radicalized specifically because of the AI algorithms. But most importantly, the algorithms that were impacted by the CIA and the FBI during the Biden administration that radicalized a whole bunch of people. A default, right? Well, it's not just left wingers, but obviously they have been the most kind of prolific ones that have been excusing things like Luigi Mangione. And there are a lot of individuals, especially after what happened to Charlie Kirk, that celebrated what happened to Charlie, which was just sick and disgusting. Right. And I think there's a loss of empathy, a loss of care and consideration that is really tragic. And the overall kind of perspective is like, man, things are really dark and we're seeing the worst of the worst of it. And I think we're kind of being, you know, part of my French, but mind effed in a very negative way. MK ULTRA to the max. Yes. Trauma-based mind control, which I think is more persistent than ever, especially with how people now engage with each other online, the kind of victorial, the hatred, the kind of lack of just even consideration for another human being. All of that's out the window. And I'm like, hey, can we can we get back to the core issues here and not discuss fake AI photos or fake AI altered videos? Well, social media is so powerful. They're in bed with government. AI companies are in bed with the government. So with that, you can really control the masses, I feel like. Exactly. Now we have to not only wonder and consider about the mass impact that the FBI and the CIA had, because they were literally the ones deciding who gets to have a voice, who doesn't have to be able to speak and say whatever they want to. You talked about the Wuhan laboratory, you got blocked, you got censored. You talked about natural immunity, you talked about vitamin D, you got debanked in some instances. But now there's a far superior type of intelligence out there that the government is becoming more and more dependent on, that is making long-term type of predictive programming decisions, that I really kind of am trying to rat my head around, because I'm just trying to see the long-term trends of where is this going. And where it's going, it's not good. Mass surveillance and digital IDs and... Oh yeah, I mean, they're passing a bill that Thomas Massey is fighting against right now, that will allow surveillance and kill switches in every single car in America. They already passed it, right? They passed it, and there's only a few members of Congress. Yeah, Anna stood up and... Anna Paulina Luna, Thomas Massey and a few others came out and said, this is crazy. Like, 2027 Yeah. Yeah, could you explain it for people that don't know? No, they're going to federally mandate facial scanners that will be able to read your expressions. Ford also is putting out patents where they could use sound wave systems to interpret what you're saying. So in a scenario where you're dealing with an emergency situation, you're injured, you need to drive to a hospital, you had something happen to you. If you're driving erratic, they have stops in the car that will stop you from driving on the road, which is very Orwellian, very terrifying. For many years now, I've been warning about this kind of prison planet being built all around us. I think it's built. It just isn't fully utilized yet. But we're making it more and more of a prison every single day. And I think it's going to be up to now an AI or a bureaucrat in charge of AI that's going to decide, OK, we're going to stop this portion of a population from even believing or expressing or thinking a certain idea, which is terrifying because you could see the way that it's kind of being implemented now with pure chaos, order out of chaos, where it's just total nonsense, total insanity, total craziness, just being regurgitated back to us over and over and over again to kind of sigh up us into this kind of fear state. And I think fear is the biggest killer here. And that's been my approach from the very beginning of this. I started off, of course, after 2001 in New York City, going up against a lot of the kind of crazy national security state apparatuses that were utilized against the American public. And they used fear as a way to justify them. But I think now a lot of us, especially if people who are constantly online, they are dealing with anxiety and fear more than they ever have before. And I think that's deliberate, right? And I think that's being done in a way where it's really nefarious. And it's probably far more nefarious than we can even conceptualize now. I remember even I think it was like 15 years ago talking about how Facebook was running studies about how they could manipulate people's emotions through the algorithm, through what they were sharing in the social media feed. And they were saying, oh, could we do rage? Could we do fear? Could we do happiness? Could we do content? And of course, I think right now, most people consuming media right now are being induced in a fear state, rage in a trauma state. Now, some people say that's because of a natural phenomenon where our kind of survival mechanism is poised towards always looking at the biggest threat or the biggest type of drama out of there. Like women love their drama, they love their murder, you know, content. Yeah.
