1
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:01,620
You pay more taxes.

2
00:00:01,650 --> 00:00:02,970
I pay more taxes.

3
00:00:02,970 --> 00:00:04,980
We all pay more taxes.

4
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:08,700
Hey, it's Lucas Skrobot and
you're listening to the Lucas

5
00:00:08,790 --> 00:00:12,990
Skrobot show where we uncover
purpose, pursue truth and own.

6
00:00:12,990 --> 00:00:18,330
The future is episode
264, October 10th, 2021.

7
00:00:18,330 --> 00:00:21,270
Welcome to the show coming to
you from the heart of the middle

8
00:00:21,270 --> 00:00:22,980
east today, we talk about.

9
00:00:24,270 --> 00:00:28,740
Taxes global taxes that are
going to affect everyone.

10
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:31,950
They say that this is
only going to touch that.

11
00:00:33,044 --> 00:00:36,644
You know, big, bad multinational
corporations that are making more

12
00:00:36,644 --> 00:00:42,855
than 750 million euros dollars a year,
but who will end up footing this bill

13
00:00:42,855 --> 00:00:47,955
who will end up suffering because
of this new and imposed global tax?

14
00:00:47,955 --> 00:00:53,625
Well, it's a 7 billion earthlings
who are just oftentimes trying

15
00:00:53,625 --> 00:00:57,825
to get by in life also on today's
episode, stick around to the end,

16
00:00:57,825 --> 00:00:59,054
especially if you're an avid listener.

17
00:00:59,970 --> 00:01:03,510
Some announcements, uh, towards the
end of this episode, in the Weaver

18
00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:07,290
and loom segment that you for sure
do not want to miss because it

19
00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:12,420
pertains to the next number of weeks
and months back to this global.

20
00:01:13,395 --> 00:01:17,625
Thank you organization for economic
cooperation and development, which

21
00:01:17,625 --> 00:01:21,524
is comprised of 140 countries.

22
00:01:22,215 --> 00:01:26,535
And so far 136 out of this hundred
and 40 countries have agreed

23
00:01:26,925 --> 00:01:29,505
to the global taxation scheme.

24
00:01:29,865 --> 00:01:30,285
So that.

25
00:01:30,930 --> 00:01:35,310
These big multinational
corporations can't avoid taxes.

26
00:01:35,340 --> 00:01:37,680
What would happen up to this point?

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,230
It's still to this point because
this bill has not been passed.

28
00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:45,539
There's four countries, including Kenya,
Nigeria, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka that

29
00:01:45,539 --> 00:01:49,800
have not yet joined the agreement,
but it is likely that it's still going

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,360
to pass is 90% of the, the globe.

31
00:01:54,420 --> 00:01:59,970
The global economy is behind
this proposition, but what.

32
00:02:01,125 --> 00:02:05,625
The way this applies is for these
massive multinational corporations that

33
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:13,605
are doing over 868 million us dollars
or 750 million euros in sales a year

34
00:02:13,995 --> 00:02:16,365
will be subject to an additional.

35
00:02:17,690 --> 00:02:23,600
15% tax, not an additional
15%, but a minimum 15% tax.

36
00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:29,630
The way that that works is if you
set up your company in India and

37
00:02:29,630 --> 00:02:36,350
India levies a 10% tax on you, but
you also have roots back in the UK.

38
00:02:36,980 --> 00:02:40,340
Well, the UK is now able
to impose the difference.

39
00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:43,070
They are able, the UK
can take the extra 5%.

40
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,480
India can take their temperature.

41
00:02:45,975 --> 00:02:51,315
And no matter what if you're one of these
massive corporations you're paying 15%

42
00:02:51,555 --> 00:02:57,615
in the past, the way that these, these
tax incentives have worked a great case

43
00:02:57,615 --> 00:03:01,155
in point is a nation like the United
Arab Emirates or Dubai, or even Saudi

44
00:03:01,155 --> 00:03:06,795
Arabia, where they had zero tax for these
multinational corporations, there's a tax

45
00:03:06,795 --> 00:03:09,675
Haven or low tax for such a long time.

46
00:03:09,675 --> 00:03:11,505
So it gave these companies.

47
00:03:12,735 --> 00:03:16,995
Incentive to come and set up business
in their country because they

48
00:03:16,995 --> 00:03:21,405
would be able to have a lower tax
burden to be able to do business.

49
00:03:21,465 --> 00:03:25,185
And this would greatly help
and built the economy of many

50
00:03:25,185 --> 00:03:26,775
nations, including Ireland.

51
00:03:27,555 --> 00:03:28,935
Ireland has been using this.

52
00:03:30,375 --> 00:03:31,725
It's this scheme.

53
00:03:31,725 --> 00:03:34,965
And I don't mean scheme in a negative
way, but had been using this scheme for

54
00:03:34,965 --> 00:03:39,645
a long time to be able to help build
up their economy by giving tax breaks,

55
00:03:40,035 --> 00:03:43,815
to, to organizations, to corporations
so that they come and set up their

56
00:03:43,815 --> 00:03:49,425
headquarters in Ireland, which then brings
jobs, which brings white collar jobs.

57
00:03:49,425 --> 00:03:55,155
Blue collar jobs helps the economy
grow in those cities, in that nation.

58
00:03:55,155 --> 00:03:55,755
But now.

59
00:03:58,020 --> 00:04:03,300
The governments have banded together
and they have essentially created

60
00:04:03,330 --> 00:04:05,430
a fixed pricing schema, which.

61
00:04:07,290 --> 00:04:11,040
A slew of corporations banded together
and said, Hey, we're going to fix the

62
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,960
prices just so that everyone has to pay
the same amount so that we can just ensure

63
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,060
that all of the customers it's, it's an
equal competition, equal playing field.

64
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,070
That the powers that be are
saying, well, no, this isn't really

65
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,860
a price fixing or tax fixing.

66
00:04:29,010 --> 00:04:32,760
It's making sure that everyone
actually has a level playing field.

67
00:04:33,390 --> 00:04:34,650
It's the same difference.

68
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:42,950
The only difference is that somehow
the global elected officials have

69
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:48,710
decided that this is a good idea, even
though it is going to impact people

70
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:52,969
like you and me, and this is how it's
going to impact people like you and me.

71
00:04:53,539 --> 00:04:59,240
When these global corporations turn a
profit, what happens with that money?

72
00:04:59,810 --> 00:05:02,330
That money goes back into the country.

73
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,120
That money goes out to their investors or
goes out to other people on their board

74
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,210
or employees and they get taxed there.

75
00:05:12,210 --> 00:05:18,870
So people, the dollar is getting taxed
one way or another, but what these big

76
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:22,320
corporations do, which is, has enabled us.

77
00:05:23,635 --> 00:05:27,445
To talk right now, the fact that you're
listening to this is evidence that

78
00:05:27,445 --> 00:05:32,755
these evil, multinational corporations
who are just out to destroy the world

79
00:05:33,055 --> 00:05:36,985
have totally destroyed your life by
the fact that you are listening to this

80
00:05:36,985 --> 00:05:42,055
most likely on a handheld device that
20, 30 years ago would have called.

81
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,900
Millions and millions and
millions of dollars, billions

82
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:47,760
and billions of billions to make.

83
00:05:48,210 --> 00:05:52,409
We didn't even have the technology,
but because of the ability for

84
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:57,270
corporations to reinvest profits
into their companies, we have been

85
00:05:57,270 --> 00:06:02,219
able to develop amazing technology
that has improved all of our lives.

86
00:06:03,150 --> 00:06:07,370
But when that those profits are
not able to be reinvested into the.

87
00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:13,810
And they're not making the profits that
they need to stay alive, which right now,

88
00:06:13,810 --> 00:06:20,380
in COVID times, we all know that countries
are, are struggling to stay afloat.

89
00:06:22,599 --> 00:06:28,510
Even here, here in the middle east,
when VAT tax was initially introduced

90
00:06:28,510 --> 00:06:32,860
just a number of years ago, the number
of companies that shut down or left

91
00:06:32,890 --> 00:06:35,740
citing that tax across the region.

92
00:06:37,155 --> 00:06:42,164
Enormous shocking amounts of people
left during that time, as things were

93
00:06:42,164 --> 00:06:50,414
already slowing down pre COVID days, and
now a new unions, more of ex-pats have

94
00:06:50,414 --> 00:06:55,215
left these companies because there are
these, these nations and have gone back

95
00:06:55,215 --> 00:07:00,044
to their home countries because there's
just not the business to be able to

96
00:07:00,044 --> 00:07:02,895
keep these economies as they have been.

97
00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:09,740
But now when these massive corporations
are getting an additional tax where

98
00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:13,820
they can't find these tax havens who
is going to pay for it well, sooner or

99
00:07:13,820 --> 00:07:17,210
later, it will cause prices to inflate.

100
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760
We will end up playing,
paying those prices.

101
00:07:19,910 --> 00:07:26,600
It will cause everything in the
world to inflate because no longer

102
00:07:26,630 --> 00:07:30,050
can these corporations find a
place where they have a attacks.

103
00:07:31,305 --> 00:07:33,075
It actually kills competition.

104
00:07:33,075 --> 00:07:36,045
It actually kills small nations abilities.

105
00:07:36,945 --> 00:07:46,125
Do you have an advantage over big
booming economies like the United States?

106
00:07:48,805 --> 00:07:52,165
So this is, this is just
a bad deal all around.

107
00:07:52,165 --> 00:07:58,645
Of course, the, the, the globalists
that be are loving, our loving.

108
00:07:59,895 --> 00:08:00,914
Because it means that.

109
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,410
They are able to have one step
closer to total global control.

110
00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:13,110
Uh, president Joe Biden said,
in regards to this, he made a

111
00:08:13,110 --> 00:08:15,450
statement, a written statement.

112
00:08:15,450 --> 00:08:19,800
He said, today's agreement shows how
the American leadership and diplomacy

113
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,960
is advancing the economic interests.

114
00:08:22,484 --> 00:08:26,534
America's working families for decades,
American workers and taxpayers have

115
00:08:26,534 --> 00:08:31,424
paid the price for tax systems that
has rewarded multinational corporations

116
00:08:31,424 --> 00:08:34,245
for shipping jobs and profits overseas.

117
00:08:34,694 --> 00:08:38,204
This race to the bottom has it
just harmed American workers,

118
00:08:38,204 --> 00:08:42,525
but it puts many of our allies at
competitive disadvantages as well.

119
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:46,530
In other words, we don't
like the global competition.

120
00:08:46,530 --> 00:08:48,930
So we are going to do
away with the competition.

121
00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:53,820
We are going to do a way with people
having a competitive advantage because

122
00:08:53,820 --> 00:08:56,370
we're going to make it illegal for
them to have a competitive advantage.

123
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,050
Now we're going to say, Nope.

124
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,540
If you're going to take your business
elsewhere, you still will owe us taxes.

125
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:10,230
The globe is truly becoming
a borderless borderless.

126
00:09:12,275 --> 00:09:15,695
Of course, this is great for the build
back better agenda, which the whole

127
00:09:15,695 --> 00:09:19,745
world is going to go through this
global reset and build back better.

128
00:09:20,015 --> 00:09:22,505
And we're going to make sure that
everyone pays their fair share.

129
00:09:22,505 --> 00:09:23,525
It's funny, we don't.

130
00:09:23,525 --> 00:09:27,695
When we talk about paying their fair
share, why don't we just establish a

131
00:09:27,695 --> 00:09:34,895
flat income tax 10% or a flat sales tax,
rather than having all of these systems

132
00:09:34,895 --> 00:09:38,555
where the, the, the one 10th of 1%.

133
00:09:39,660 --> 00:09:46,170
Who are building these corporations
who are investing their resources

134
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:52,530
and taking risk are paying the
majority of the taxes all ready?

135
00:09:53,850 --> 00:09:57,420
Oh, this is, it's just insane.

136
00:09:57,810 --> 00:10:01,680
At the end of the day, at the
end of the day, it's you and.

137
00:10:02,835 --> 00:10:06,585
Who will end up carrying these
tax loads in these tax burdens?

138
00:10:06,585 --> 00:10:13,485
Because once the money gets sucked into
the governments, we, we all know how

139
00:10:14,415 --> 00:10:20,235
most governments across the world are
run very inefficiently because they're

140
00:10:20,235 --> 00:10:22,725
not run from an entrepreneurial mindset.

141
00:10:22,725 --> 00:10:26,865
There are some nations out there
who do operate with a different

142
00:10:26,865 --> 00:10:30,795
mindset of how can we, how can
we run our, our government?

143
00:10:32,490 --> 00:10:37,590
With more of an entrepreneurial
spirit, but oftentimes the way that

144
00:10:37,590 --> 00:10:41,130
a budget works within a government
is if you spend all of your budget,

145
00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:42,600
then you will get more budget.

146
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:45,930
But if you don't spend all of
your budget, you will get less.

147
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,930
Whereas in a corporation, in a
company it's quite the opposite.

148
00:10:50,010 --> 00:10:53,460
If you can get the job done without
spending all that money and you

149
00:10:53,460 --> 00:10:58,770
can show a profit, we're going to
reward you for your good stewardship.

150
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,380
Now I'm I don't think that tax
should be totally outlawed taxes

151
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,070
are good when there's taxation with
representation and you're, you're

152
00:11:08,070 --> 00:11:18,480
paying for, for a unified government
to help things in society, like build.

153
00:11:21,155 --> 00:11:26,255
Like make sure that there's a legal
system put in place, like building up

154
00:11:26,315 --> 00:11:32,255
a military to defend your borders, to
defend your land, to, to ensure that

155
00:11:32,255 --> 00:11:38,675
there is a legal system so that when
there is reason to go to court, you

156
00:11:38,675 --> 00:11:43,295
know, that you have a justice system that
you will be working in, operating in.

157
00:11:43,295 --> 00:11:48,035
That's not corrupt where there's not
grease money, that's going every, which.

158
00:11:50,445 --> 00:11:53,685
There's good reason for taxes.

159
00:11:54,015 --> 00:11:58,245
There is not, I don't have an argument
to say there should be zero taxes.

160
00:11:59,265 --> 00:12:04,965
There should be tax, but this,
this will not, this will definitely

161
00:12:04,965 --> 00:12:06,945
not have a positive effect.

162
00:12:08,985 --> 00:12:16,245
On the lives that it's supposedly
is designed to help make sense

163
00:12:16,245 --> 00:12:19,845
in a post-truth society society,
where we have exchanged truth for

164
00:12:19,845 --> 00:12:23,775
lies and reasons for post reason,
for post ponder and irrationality.

165
00:12:23,775 --> 00:12:26,595
The absurd finally makes sense.

166
00:12:26,595 --> 00:12:29,175
And w what is the greatest thing?

167
00:12:29,905 --> 00:12:34,584
About living in a post-modern era
post-modern world is that you can

168
00:12:34,584 --> 00:12:40,675
change the definition of words to mean
whatever you feel like it whenever you

169
00:12:40,675 --> 00:12:47,425
feel like it, as long as it fits your
political agenda, that is if you're the

170
00:12:47,425 --> 00:12:50,365
one that's in charge of the dictionary.

171
00:12:50,635 --> 00:12:56,485
Well, the Miriam Webster dictionary is in
charge of the dictionary and they found.

172
00:12:57,689 --> 00:13:03,689
Quite convenient to change the
definition of what an anti-vaxxer

173
00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:06,600
is previously an anti-vaxxer.

174
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,110
It was someone who was
against all vaccines period.

175
00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:14,969
Now I know a lot of people who
sit in that anti-vaxxer camp

176
00:13:15,630 --> 00:13:17,310
and I have spent a lot of time.

177
00:13:18,390 --> 00:13:23,850
Debating and arguing, or mostly actually
trying to avoid debates and arguments

178
00:13:24,090 --> 00:13:30,150
around the, the anti-vax, uh, arguments
because we've accentuate all of our kids.

179
00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:31,319
They're vaccinated.

180
00:13:31,439 --> 00:13:33,330
I love vaccinations.

181
00:13:33,569 --> 00:13:35,760
They are awesome.

182
00:13:36,030 --> 00:13:36,540
Awesome.

183
00:13:36,930 --> 00:13:41,010
However, what I don't love
mandatory vaccinations.

184
00:13:41,010 --> 00:13:42,390
People being told that if.

185
00:13:43,245 --> 00:13:44,535
Do not get a shot.

186
00:13:44,655 --> 00:13:46,675
You are barred from society.

187
00:13:46,695 --> 00:13:48,165
You are going to lose your job.

188
00:13:48,195 --> 00:13:52,905
You're not able to work in the government
United built to work in the military.

189
00:13:52,905 --> 00:13:54,645
You're not able to enter a story.

190
00:13:54,645 --> 00:13:59,715
You need to have your medical papers on
you at all times in order to go anywhere.

191
00:13:59,715 --> 00:14:02,985
This is the mandates that are happening.

192
00:14:03,795 --> 00:14:08,715
And right now in society,
ironically enough, most of the

193
00:14:08,715 --> 00:14:11,085
voices that I have listened to.

194
00:14:12,630 --> 00:14:16,680
R a against the mandating of vaccines.

195
00:14:17,069 --> 00:14:18,210
They have been vaccinated.

196
00:14:19,170 --> 00:14:25,680
Many people are listened to
they've gotten the vaccine.

197
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,360
They said, yeah, I'm vaccinated.

198
00:14:27,390 --> 00:14:28,530
I'm vaccinated too.

199
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:35,130
And then they go on to say how they are
against mandates of vaccines, because it's

200
00:14:35,130 --> 00:14:38,910
a complete overstep of personal freedoms.

201
00:14:39,449 --> 00:14:39,620
And.

202
00:14:40,530 --> 00:14:46,020
And government into the personal
sphere and the medical sphere and the

203
00:14:46,020 --> 00:14:48,240
whole thing has become politicized.

204
00:14:49,439 --> 00:14:55,170
Well, now the dictionary of course,
language has become politicized as well.

205
00:14:55,170 --> 00:15:02,790
They've changed the official definition in
the Miriam Webster dictionary to, to this.

206
00:15:04,380 --> 00:15:06,300
It is now a person who opposes.

207
00:15:07,155 --> 00:15:13,095
The use of vaccines or regulations
mandating vaccinations.

208
00:15:13,545 --> 00:15:19,635
So now if you oppose a mandate, regulating
vaccinations, you're opposing a mandate.

209
00:15:19,935 --> 00:15:21,314
You're not anti mandate.

210
00:15:21,314 --> 00:15:23,415
Now you're anti VAX.

211
00:15:23,415 --> 00:15:28,485
Well, one of the biggest,
apparently anti-vax nations.

212
00:15:28,485 --> 00:15:30,285
Now, I guess we have those.

213
00:15:30,615 --> 00:15:32,295
If a nation is opposing.

214
00:15:33,765 --> 00:15:34,395
This is what it means.

215
00:15:34,545 --> 00:15:40,155
If a nation decides to oppose the
regulation or mandates of a vaccine

216
00:15:40,155 --> 00:15:45,735
like Croatia they're now anti-vax
they're now anti-vax so Iceland

217
00:15:45,735 --> 00:15:50,775
must also be anti-vax because they
have suspended Medina vaccinations

218
00:15:50,805 --> 00:15:53,865
for all age groups, all age groups.

219
00:15:54,585 --> 00:15:56,445
They're saying we don't trust Madrona.

220
00:15:57,405 --> 00:15:59,475
Does this mean that, oh my goodness.

221
00:16:00,195 --> 00:16:00,705
Iceland.

222
00:16:01,530 --> 00:16:06,210
Of all places they are
being just horrible.

223
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:13,050
Anti-vaxxers is that no, because,
because they look at data and they

224
00:16:13,050 --> 00:16:16,260
said, Hmm, I don't think we trust
this maternal vaccine right now.

225
00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:19,050
We need to, we need to get a
little bit more, some more answers

226
00:16:19,470 --> 00:16:20,939
to figure out what's going on.

227
00:16:22,860 --> 00:16:27,990
When, when AstraZeneca was paused
across Europe, does that mean Europe?

228
00:16:28,890 --> 00:16:29,970
Was it in that point of time?

229
00:16:30,735 --> 00:16:34,785
Anti-vax because they didn't want
to accept that particular vaccine.

230
00:16:39,444 --> 00:16:40,525
Well, president.

231
00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:48,820
President Joe Biden chimed in on this,
uh, this last week, remarking on the

232
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,070
progress, the great progress that
America has made when it comes to their

233
00:16:54,070 --> 00:16:59,230
vaccinations and the things that he's
doing, and the reasons why he is pushing

234
00:16:59,650 --> 00:17:06,790
vaccine mandates mandates across the
land of the free and the home of the

235
00:17:06,790 --> 00:17:08,680
brave here is president Joe Biden.

236
00:17:09,555 --> 00:17:12,615
I still had more than a quarter of the
people in the United States were eligible

237
00:17:12,615 --> 00:17:15,464
for vaccinations, but didn't get the shot.

238
00:17:16,425 --> 00:17:20,295
And we know there is no other way
to beat the pandemic than to get the

239
00:17:20,295 --> 00:17:22,575
vast majority of Americans vaccinated.

240
00:17:22,905 --> 00:17:25,895
It's as simple as that, no other.

241
00:17:26,940 --> 00:17:29,430
He said there's no other
way to beat the pandemic.

242
00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:34,620
If you remember a few episodes ago,
we played a clip from professor, sir.

243
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,790
Andrews polars.

244
00:17:35,790 --> 00:17:39,930
Who's the director of the
Oxford vaccination group.

245
00:17:41,970 --> 00:17:42,210
Yeah.

246
00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:45,780
Huxford AstraZeneca director.

247
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,050
Talk about being pro vaccination.

248
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,720
This is what he had to
say a few episodes ago.

249
00:17:52,260 --> 00:17:55,050
I think we are in a situation
here with this current marriage.

250
00:17:55,889 --> 00:17:59,990
At where herd immunity is not a
possibility because it's still in

251
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,340
facts, uh, vaccinated individuals.

252
00:18:02,940 --> 00:18:08,340
Um, and I suspect that, uh, the
virus will throw out next is a, is a

253
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:12,510
veteran, which is perhaps even veteran
transmitting in vaccinated populations.

254
00:18:12,990 --> 00:18:18,720
This is, this is from someone
who who's helping develop these

255
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,850
vaccines, but yet here is the, the
president of the United States.

256
00:18:25,350 --> 00:18:33,990
With fake news misinformation saying
that, oh man, we know that the only way

257
00:18:33,990 --> 00:18:38,730
that this will stop is if everyone gets
vaccinated, even though the experts are

258
00:18:38,730 --> 00:18:44,850
saying we are not going to reach herd
immunity, period, it is, it's not going

259
00:18:44,850 --> 00:18:51,540
to happen with this because it is like
the flu in that, in that it is continuing.

260
00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:57,540
Coming up with new and new strains and
variants, just like a flu shot from

261
00:18:57,540 --> 00:19:02,220
two years ago is not going to help
you with beating the flu this year.

262
00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:04,260
Well, president Joe Biden goes on.

263
00:19:05,205 --> 00:19:08,955
We're making sure healthcare workers
are vaccinated because if you seek

264
00:19:09,075 --> 00:19:13,875
care at a healthcare facility, you
should have a certainty that the people

265
00:19:13,875 --> 00:19:17,895
providing that care are protected
from COVID and cannot spread it to

266
00:19:17,895 --> 00:19:21,044
you and can not spread it from you.

267
00:19:21,105 --> 00:19:24,405
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, this
ladies and gentlemen is a direct

268
00:19:24,405 --> 00:19:26,625
violation of YouTube policies.

269
00:19:27,075 --> 00:19:27,274
Is it.

270
00:19:28,215 --> 00:19:33,675
Again, we just read that a lot of the
policies, the new YouTube misinformation

271
00:19:33,675 --> 00:19:40,545
policies to do build a safer world for
you w on from the, this is a quote from

272
00:19:40,545 --> 00:19:48,435
the YouTube website on their policy
that you cannot make any claims that

273
00:19:48,525 --> 00:19:55,305
any medication or vaccination is a
guaranteed prevention method for COVID-19.

274
00:19:55,725 --> 00:19:57,195
So claims that any medication.

275
00:19:58,410 --> 00:20:03,360
Or any vaccination is a guaranteed
prevention method for COVID-19

276
00:20:03,390 --> 00:20:06,360
is a violation of YouTube policy.

277
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:10,140
And yet again, here is Mr.

278
00:20:10,140 --> 00:20:10,440
Presence.

279
00:20:11,550 --> 00:20:15,270
We're making sure healthcare workers
are vaccinated because if you seek

280
00:20:15,389 --> 00:20:20,189
care at a healthcare facility, you
should have a certainty that the people

281
00:20:20,189 --> 00:20:24,629
providing that care are protected from
COVID and cannot spread it to you.

282
00:20:25,020 --> 00:20:28,810
We have a certainty that they're protected
from COVID and can not spread it from you.

283
00:20:29,129 --> 00:20:34,229
I mean, I guess we should just, we need
to take out, take down the white house.

284
00:20:35,475 --> 00:20:38,145
You know, flag their account
and take it down because this

285
00:20:38,145 --> 00:20:41,355
is clearly miss information.

286
00:20:41,385 --> 00:20:46,875
Even the CDC, this is
quote from the CDC website.

287
00:20:47,145 --> 00:20:52,754
Quote, if you are fully vaccinated and
become infected with the Delta variant

288
00:20:53,145 --> 00:20:56,565
comma, you can spread the virus to others.

289
00:20:57,165 --> 00:20:59,325
This is the CDC website.

290
00:21:03,254 --> 00:21:11,504
In for mation ladies and gentlemen,
the point, the point of all of this

291
00:21:12,435 --> 00:21:21,645
is that these mandates, these mandates
and this push to control everything in

292
00:21:21,645 --> 00:21:25,815
the midst of a time where everything
is out of control in the midst of the

293
00:21:25,815 --> 00:21:28,365
time where economies are repressed.

294
00:21:29,205 --> 00:21:35,205
We are where we're teetering
between whether a global inflation,

295
00:21:36,105 --> 00:21:41,835
which we are seeing currently,
or will that turn as everything.

296
00:21:41,925 --> 00:21:48,825
The house of cards collapses on itself
into a global depression, which will

297
00:21:48,825 --> 00:21:50,685
be very difficult to get out of.

298
00:21:51,225 --> 00:21:57,555
And yet here are governments continuing
to raise taxes and to push for a.

299
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:05,910
Further and further control
over our every day lives.

300
00:22:05,910 --> 00:22:09,540
So this show is brought to
you by listeners like you.

301
00:22:09,540 --> 00:22:11,639
This is a value for value podcast.

302
00:22:11,670 --> 00:22:17,280
If you can tell you've been listening to
the show for about 20 or so minutes now,

303
00:22:17,910 --> 00:22:19,560
and we haven't had a commercial break.

304
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:27,470
We haven't had, uh, an ad pop into the
episode because this show is funded by.

305
00:22:28,514 --> 00:22:32,865
By people giving value in the value
that they received from this podcast.

306
00:22:32,865 --> 00:22:37,725
Now thousands of people tune into
this podcast every month to help them

307
00:22:37,725 --> 00:22:43,754
see the strategies and the schemes
that are being set up against us to

308
00:22:43,754 --> 00:22:50,625
try to steal our freedoms, control
our lives and, and deceive us into

309
00:22:50,834 --> 00:22:53,115
so many different traps and stuff.

310
00:22:54,060 --> 00:22:57,960
But if we can see those things,
if we can see those traps,

311
00:22:58,290 --> 00:22:59,730
we can navigate around them.

312
00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:00,930
We can avoid them.

313
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:08,159
And by doing so we can uncover our
purpose and we can own our future.

314
00:23:08,159 --> 00:23:14,070
So if you'd like to help produce
this show, it's not giving a tip,

315
00:23:14,580 --> 00:23:19,409
but it's helping produce this show

We'll be right back with our

324
00:23:58,850 --> 00:24:03,230
Welcome back to Weaver Numa, part of the
show where we take ancient wisdom and

325
00:24:03,230 --> 00:24:06,950
we weave it in with our every day lives.

326
00:24:06,980 --> 00:24:13,220
I love the image of the Weaver
and the loom it a carpet.

327
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:19,460
Is filled with many, many, many tiny
knots, just like our lives are filled

328
00:24:19,490 --> 00:24:24,680
with many tiny decisions and all of
those decisions add up together, all

329
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:30,170
of those whose divine appointments,
divine interventions of happening

330
00:24:30,170 --> 00:24:35,060
to run into someone in the middle of
a, a store and become friends with.

331
00:24:35,955 --> 00:24:40,575
All of these things are just little
knots in our life that build up to make

332
00:24:40,575 --> 00:24:43,065
the tapestry or the carpet of our lives.

333
00:24:43,065 --> 00:24:48,405
And then our lives are just one
little pixel in the history of mankind

334
00:24:48,945 --> 00:24:52,065
and we're all being woven together.

335
00:24:52,605 --> 00:24:56,715
My destiny is locked up in your
destiny and your destiny is

336
00:24:56,835 --> 00:24:59,285
truly locked up in my destiny.

337
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,350
And that's why we need one another.

338
00:25:02,350 --> 00:25:10,240
We need a community to run with and we
need wisdom to be able to discern how

339
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:16,659
to best live our lives, how to best
navigate the snares and the traps.

340
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:21,580
And that is eight, the framework
of a loom to have a strict.

341
00:25:24,015 --> 00:25:28,545
And solid loom is straight and
solid framework by which we can

342
00:25:28,545 --> 00:25:33,915
see the world so that we can make
the decisions in our life brightly.

343
00:25:33,915 --> 00:25:40,605
Well, today's quote comes from Plato
from Plato's Republic, and it's

344
00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:46,035
actually the first three words of
Plato's Republic, which is this.

345
00:25:46,515 --> 00:25:49,545
I went down now.

346
00:25:49,545 --> 00:25:50,545
There's a story behind.

347
00:25:51,375 --> 00:25:56,504
When I was in university, I
took a, a philosophy course

348
00:25:56,925 --> 00:25:58,725
and my philosophy teacher.

349
00:26:00,290 --> 00:26:04,760
He was a, he was a true,
it really true philosopher.

350
00:26:05,060 --> 00:26:12,650
He would, he would come to class every
day wearing the same black sweatshirt and

351
00:26:12,650 --> 00:26:16,040
same black sweat pants and white sneakers.

352
00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:20,600
Now it wasn't, you know, he probably had
seven to the same sweatshirt and sweats.

353
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,590
So that everyday he would just
wake up and put on the same outfit.

354
00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:27,210
So he didn't have to make those decisions.

355
00:26:27,210 --> 00:26:28,860
He was thrill.

356
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,310
When you think of a philosophy
professor, he was the, the image

357
00:26:35,310 --> 00:26:37,500
that you probably see in your head.

358
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,129
That's beat.

359
00:26:38,250 --> 00:26:40,500
It's been depicted in all the movies.

360
00:26:42,270 --> 00:26:47,820
Well, in our class, we read Plato's
Republic and Plato's Republic is a.

361
00:26:49,305 --> 00:26:58,754
A story of Play-Doh writing about
justice and mercy, how societies are to

362
00:26:58,754 --> 00:27:06,225
fit together, how do, how do republics
function and, and roll out justice

363
00:27:06,225 --> 00:27:08,595
and rollout, just systems of living.

364
00:27:09,855 --> 00:27:15,405
And it all starts with the,
the hero going down to see.

365
00:27:19,290 --> 00:27:26,940
And I remember the professor asking,
how can we, from the first sentence of

366
00:27:26,940 --> 00:27:33,450
Plato's Republic, understand with the
entire book is about, I was stumped.

367
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:34,830
I couldn't figure it out.

368
00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:38,340
And he said, it's the first
three words I went down.

369
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:48,240
Um, us going down out of our ivory
towers, it's us going down into the

370
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:55,379
cave, into the cave of ourselves, into
the cave of, of our past, into solitude,

371
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,899
into engaging with people around
us, everyday people that we may be.

372
00:28:01,139 --> 00:28:07,620
We don't often engage with to be able to
see the world from a different viewpoint.

373
00:28:09,149 --> 00:28:14,790
It's these things that enables us
to see the world differently and to

374
00:28:14,790 --> 00:28:20,159
understand, listen, to measure how we
ought to live and that's to live and

375
00:28:20,159 --> 00:28:27,840
to walk in humility, to live and to
walk in self-awareness by coming down

376
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:34,020
from those normal activities to, to a
moment of silence and rest so that we

377
00:28:34,020 --> 00:28:37,229
can begin to see the world around us.

378
00:28:38,115 --> 00:28:38,685
Brightly.

379
00:28:39,735 --> 00:28:41,715
And so that second.

380
00:28:43,420 --> 00:28:48,520
That segues into something I've been
recently thinking about and wrestling

381
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,410
through probably for the last month
I've been doing this show now every week

382
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:58,810
without, without fail, I guess I've failed
twice, twice in the middle of moving.

383
00:28:59,020 --> 00:29:05,590
I missed a a week show, but every
week for the last three years,

384
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,640
sometimes twice, most, most of
this year it's been twice a week.

385
00:29:10,090 --> 00:29:11,410
Um, at one point it was.

386
00:29:12,659 --> 00:29:14,459
Five times a week doing this show.

387
00:29:15,449 --> 00:29:19,080
And over the last month,
uh, hit some bumps in life.

388
00:29:19,439 --> 00:29:25,919
Some, uh, some moments of sorrow and
grief, and it has caused me to reflect

389
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,629
and to say, I need a moment to go down.

390
00:29:30,659 --> 00:29:31,230
I need a moment.

391
00:29:32,355 --> 00:29:35,955
To go into the cave as there's
there's things that I've been

392
00:29:36,105 --> 00:29:38,264
wanting to develop for the show.

393
00:29:38,445 --> 00:29:41,655
There's things that I've been wanting
to develop in my, in my personal

394
00:29:41,655 --> 00:29:47,715
life, that I need to take a moment
to retreat back from the show so that

395
00:29:48,225 --> 00:29:53,415
I can come and take a step forward,
because oftentimes if we want to take

396
00:29:53,445 --> 00:30:01,034
steps forward in life, we need to take
a step back to do put some things in.

397
00:30:02,025 --> 00:30:07,575
So that we can come out with a fresh
view, fresh ideas, fresh articulation.

398
00:30:07,905 --> 00:30:13,455
So in the last, my goodness in the
last six or seven months, I have just

399
00:30:14,115 --> 00:30:16,335
loved how this show has developed.

400
00:30:16,335 --> 00:30:16,545
I have.

401
00:30:17,790 --> 00:30:22,110
Some of the new things that we have
come out with, uh, especially the, uh,

402
00:30:22,409 --> 00:30:24,030
the, yeah, that makes sense segment.

403
00:30:24,030 --> 00:30:27,870
And some of the more structures
that have been coming into the show,

404
00:30:28,139 --> 00:30:29,550
I've just been loving the show.

405
00:30:29,550 --> 00:30:34,590
When I sit down here to talk
with you twice a week, it is, it

406
00:30:34,590 --> 00:30:39,570
is really the place that I just
feel such a wind in my heart.

407
00:30:39,959 --> 00:30:44,510
And I, I just love this so much, so
I'm not going away, but I am scaling.

408
00:30:45,905 --> 00:30:49,625
Uh, for the next month to possibly
to the end of the year, I'm

409
00:30:49,625 --> 00:30:50,975
leaving a little open-ended.

410
00:30:50,975 --> 00:30:51,395
I know.

411
00:30:51,395 --> 00:30:58,445
And I personally hate that it, in, in my
decision-making process, I talk to a lot

412
00:30:58,445 --> 00:31:06,215
of different close confidant, mentors
and friends to come to this decision.

413
00:31:06,215 --> 00:31:10,175
And I could S I could feel
in myself a greater fear.

414
00:31:12,105 --> 00:31:17,625
Pausing for a moment, letting go, taking
a break to give myself to reading that

415
00:31:17,625 --> 00:31:20,625
have been needing, to do, wanting to
do, to writing that have been wanting

416
00:31:20,625 --> 00:31:26,294
to do, to developing some, some ideas
further that I haven't had time to.

417
00:31:26,534 --> 00:31:34,095
Um, as most of my creative bandwidth is
eaten up with these shows twice a week.

418
00:31:34,395 --> 00:31:37,395
And so pulling back from that will
give me more creative bandwidth

419
00:31:37,695 --> 00:31:40,395
to plug into some of these areas.

420
00:31:41,295 --> 00:31:42,405
That we'll be able to bring out.

421
00:31:42,405 --> 00:31:48,675
So, uh, the twice a week model right
now that we've been running off of

422
00:31:49,005 --> 00:31:53,685
since the beginning of this year
will be paused for a number of weeks.

423
00:31:54,165 --> 00:31:57,735
Uh, I'm not saying a won't
do an episode at all.

424
00:31:57,735 --> 00:32:03,405
If I'm struck with, with a great story
and something just needs to be said,

425
00:32:03,675 --> 00:32:08,504
um, I'm going to pop back on and share
that with you, but in the meantime,

426
00:32:08,805 --> 00:32:15,975
between now and whenever the, the next,
the next schedule is set into place and.

427
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,550
Keep on rolling with that with like
clockwork, just as we've been doing

428
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,500
the twice a week shows so far this
year, think we've clocked around.

429
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:31,680
Oh, I think over 70 episodes, uh,
this year, I think 76 episodes,

430
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:37,410
maybe we've done so far this year,
so we'll continue with regular

431
00:32:37,410 --> 00:32:41,970
programming of course, but between now
and then I would love to hear from.

432
00:32:42,930 --> 00:32:45,570
If you, if you find yourself
at this episode and you're

433
00:32:45,570 --> 00:32:47,280
like, where's the next show?

434
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:52,560
What's that me a plus
1, 2 0 2 9 2 2 0 2 2 0.

435
00:32:52,770 --> 00:32:54,030
I would love to hear from you.

436
00:32:54,030 --> 00:32:58,170
I'd love to hear some of the things
that you have been loving from the

437
00:32:58,170 --> 00:33:02,280
show hating from the show wishing
you had more of from the show.

438
00:33:02,955 --> 00:33:07,155
More importantly, things that are
happening in your own life, things that

439
00:33:07,155 --> 00:33:11,925
are happening in your own community,
things that you're seeing, taking

440
00:33:11,925 --> 00:33:17,294
place that is causing you, either
concern or great joy, things that

441
00:33:17,354 --> 00:33:21,975
are taking place in your life, that's
causing you to find greater senses

442
00:33:22,125 --> 00:33:28,155
of purpose or feel like hindrances
to finding your purpose or finding.

443
00:33:29,565 --> 00:33:36,525
Your way in life of how, how that you
can own your future, how you can see the

444
00:33:36,525 --> 00:33:38,925
world more clearly and more brightly.

445
00:33:39,525 --> 00:33:46,305
Finally, the way that we all
can grow more as individuals

446
00:33:46,815 --> 00:33:49,125
is by giving away what we have.

447
00:33:49,425 --> 00:33:54,975
So even on this short hiatus,
it's not really a hiatus.

448
00:33:54,975 --> 00:33:56,715
It's not really a stepping back.

449
00:33:56,985 --> 00:33:58,305
It is a going down.

450
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,420
Into the cave to develop things
that I've been needing to develop.

451
00:34:03,540 --> 00:34:08,820
I can bring it back out so that
we can all progress further.

452
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:14,940
But in this hiatus,
please share these ideas.

453
00:34:14,940 --> 00:34:18,989
You don't even need to share the actual
link to the episode, but share these

454
00:34:18,989 --> 00:34:26,070
ideas with your community around you,
because that will cause you to grow

455
00:34:26,190 --> 00:34:30,870
because as you give things away, You gain
more knowledge and more understanding

456
00:34:30,870 --> 00:34:36,660
and more articulation, and it begins
to build a community around you.

457
00:34:36,930 --> 00:34:40,800
It begins to strengthen those
walls of those communities.

458
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,260
And that is the one thing.

459
00:34:45,435 --> 00:34:49,455
Maybe it's not the one thing that we
can control, but when we look across

460
00:34:49,455 --> 00:34:53,685
society, when we look at these global
taxes in these governments and the

461
00:34:53,685 --> 00:34:58,605
dictionary changing the definition
of words, we, unless you're in those

462
00:34:58,845 --> 00:35:03,795
high places of power, have very
little control over that, but we.

463
00:35:05,819 --> 00:35:10,950
Strike a rhythm and a cadence
of the community around us.

464
00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:17,669
We can create a culture, a cultural
norm within the community around us.

465
00:35:17,879 --> 00:35:22,980
And then if we're living in that micro
ecosystem, then we can be isolated

466
00:35:23,250 --> 00:35:31,220
from many of these toxic, uh, pathogens
that are, are sweeping through the.

467
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,540
And it's truly sweeping through the
globe due to the connectivity that

468
00:35:36,540 --> 00:35:43,380
we all have to the internet and to
these smart devices that make us dumb.

469
00:35:44,220 --> 00:35:45,090
They make us dumb.

470
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,790
One of the things that I am
committing to over this next season.

471
00:35:52,065 --> 00:35:58,005
Breaking up with the 24 hour news cycle
a little bit more and spending more

472
00:35:58,005 --> 00:36:04,695
time reading, more time writing and
having those blocks of time to, to block

473
00:36:04,695 --> 00:36:11,355
out deep work, deep thinking, which
I've been so blessed to be able to do

474
00:36:11,355 --> 00:36:16,005
through the show as it takes hours to
produce each one of these episodes.

475
00:36:16,770 --> 00:36:20,520
Uh, deep work and deep thinking and
reading, but oftentimes it's reading

476
00:36:20,940 --> 00:36:23,790
pointless things like global taxes.

477
00:36:23,820 --> 00:36:29,665
It's just like, ah, Come on man,
but, um, I'm looking forward to, to

478
00:36:29,665 --> 00:36:34,935
getting into some more meaty literature
and books over this next season,

479
00:36:34,935 --> 00:36:37,484
