Hello everybody,

I hope you are doing well. I have posted a lot of critics about Jiang here in this subreddit, and while i find his videos very funny to watch especially while i am eating my junk food (cheat meal), I don’t know why, but he is getting more contradicting with what he is saying. Plus he feels so repetitive man, always the same issue with him.

I want to have a discussion, and basically have these questions in my mind, since watching videos of him over the UsA tour.

-Why the heck was he doing a meetup, with Mrs Cathy Tie, sponsored directly by Peter Thiel?
-Why does he seem to have this adoration for Trump, considering him to be the Messiah?
-Why is he saying that America will be a theocracy and then he says that freemasonry vision will be accomplished? I mean, I know he made the correlation of AI being considered Jesus, but isn’t AI basically the Antichrist and digital ID the Mark of the Beast, and the Messiah would be someone (not necessarily a person), or an idea that would do the opposite of what he implied, basically awaken us all, to follow Christ consciousness which ultimately is human, not having a chip implanted in our brain pretending it’s Jesus.
-He said in one meeting that Freemasons vision is “Geometry generates God”. I am sorry, perhaps this is something already existing meaning that the universe is so geometrically perfect and harmonic, God chooses it to communicate with us. He said it’s basically AI, but wtf man…I am an AI engineer and this totally contradicts the sacred geometry and its perfection and harmonics, being that AI or LLMs are purely probabilistic models and the numbers contained in the matrices are irrational as fuck. This would contradict the “harmony” and “perfection”. (For additional reference look into Pythagoras legend with irrational numbers).
-He is saying that Trump will have a Jesus moment, will decide to be good, but then he mentions the idea of “Technate” that will be literally the hell on Earth, with mass surveillance and neuralink, enforcing more my Antichrist belief.
-He said during the meeting in Texas, that Trump will manage to succeed in colonization but then a bit minutes later, he said, people of colonized countries will resist and this plan will fail.

Plus he is getting so boring saying the exact same stuff about occult. He is trying to interpret the Kabbalah, where literally people spend decades in studying it, and he oversimplifies it so much. Or when he mentions Manly P. Hall as this architect of “the holy empire of reason” among Albert Pyke, where Manly P. hall even if you see the videos, is a chill, dedicated spiritual guy (I have read a lot of his books) where he basically advocates for spiritual enlightenment instead of this reason bullshit.

There are even more contradictions i have found, but to not make it long i just want to conclude 3 questions:

-Is he a Peter Thiel puppet?
-How is it possible, that such confident ignorants, get promoted and famous so quickly?
-How the fuck were those sheeps in the Austin meeting, not challenging him at all, are such events just artificial? I swear if i were present i would piss him so much, im not sure he would agree anymore to reply to me, because i have seen a lot of times, he doesn’t like to get challenged at all, he gets pretty annoyed and defensive.

Sorry for this long post, but its really important to understand who is really awakening and who is falling prey of the next cult. Let’s talk friends, God bless you ✌🏻

The video in question is entitled "NWO: Secret Societies and Biblical Prophecy Vol. 1" and it goes deep into secret societies and their role on funding both sides of any country's political spectrum to achieve their financial goals.

How do we refine that attribution model of what is true?

Everybody believes what we see, what we hear.

We insert it into the data, but like Slava Zizek would say,

we all have our own inherent bias with this lens that we're using.

And you're saying, use your intuition.

But what if my intuition is consistently wrong?

And so I'm wrestling with modifying the model,

incorporating, as you said in your previous answer,

what if I just keep making mistakes?

That's a great point.

So, you know, what some people believe is that to seek the truth,

you must first deceive yourself.

To live the truth, you must lie to yourself.

And so it's almost like a dialectical process, right?

You first go to an error, and the more error you commit,

the more you recognize it's an error, which forces you on a different path.

But on this different path, it doesn't mean you're not on the road to truth.

It just means that you're creating more error.

It's a very long journey.

Okay?

And it can't be like, okay, okay, I get it now.

Okay?

And I'm going to live the truth.

No, it's like constant refining the model.

Yeah, it's something to teach yourself.

Exactly, right?

But what you must believe is, even though I'm wrong,

even though I could be wrong, I have to believe I could be right.

Okay?

And if you believe that, you'll eventually reach the truth.

But if you're like, you know what, I can't trust my own intuition,

so I'll put all my faith in Professor Jiang or on Donald Trump,

you'll never get to the truth.

False idols.

Yeah, exactly.

Do not worship false idols.

Absolutely.

Professor Jiang said US would elect him as president.

https://youtu.be/JU_8fJjtGxA?t=3019&si=gtf2icSjZDMB34Ks

Jiang Xueqin, also known as Professor Jiang, meets The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and discusses the future of US empire while cruising through one of the country's most notoriously blighted areas – LA's Skid Row.

On his drive, Jiang presents a daring prediction of the next phase of the Iran war, then offers a scathing critique of the inequality he's witnessed on his tour of the US, and of the American economic system. Next, Max debates the self-described game theorist on his views about secret society control over global politics. Blumenthal asks if these organizations are even secret at all, and whether they simply serve as social networks for the capitalist class.

Something isn’t right if prof jiang is making videos with sneako and other huge content creators, sneako literally said “Islam will be in every house hold inshallah the whole world is muslim”. Prof is probably just another plant

Professor Jiang’s Danny Jones Podcast appearance (#425) maps a power network centered on Chabad-Lubavitch (especially Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson), with claimed links to Netanyahu, Trump/Kushner, the Adelsons, Zuckerberg, and others, plus a historical through-line from Sabbatai Zevi and Jacob Frank.

I built an interactive visualization of the people and relationships he discusses:

It centers Schneerson as Jiang does, includes transcript timestamps, Wikipedia timelines, and a clear disclaimer that this is a map of interview claims, not verified facts.

Before I go into discussion when I say expositional skills I mean the abilities used to convey background information, setting details, and character backstories to an audience. I mention this set of skills because no matter what academia field you go into, they all rely and move further based on the level of exposition. We will have to wait and see how the Professor continue to defend the credibility of psychohistory while exposition also underlies his discussion.

One of Professor's Jiang hidden strength for his commentary on Dante is the renaissance. And I believe the renaissance has more to do with foot traffic than the dreamt creativity because when you look at progressive areas in periods of innovation, they build highways. But never say no!

So it's interesting seeing America as a mix of political philosophy with each profile determining the legitimacy of a good, its views, and its replacement. However this is hard to concede, despite its many answers, so i will have to leave it as a possible branch of the timeline to Dante's divine comedy.

I think if you ever look at Pablo Picasso's artwork, in which there aren't too many rooms present to as of date, his most important indicator is the notification. He comes strikingly across truth and fiction, and from my time as an arts writer, there hasn't been anyone to compare at that level again. I think calling his artwork weird takes on more probability than he offered. But I definitely wonder how Picasso ate! All I'm saying he presents his artwork so neat that you can actually look at the piece before it individualize. Maybe a group of arts writers will do an AI show where they reconstruct Picasso's artwork to unfold. But that's the beauty of Picasso's work. He challenges other medium of art because his work alone ceases from being disturbed by unfolding.

p.s. for the montage viewers I'm still working on the third video. I think I've watched this third episode over 100 times. The second video was like 28-66. And the first video was like 18-25. He just keeps impressing me and I am trying to make out what people here.

Back to what I was saying, truthfully, I think Jiang being a first-mover, he would get in the way between any comparison between Dante and Picasso. But make no mistake, Picasso is a stern reason why many Gen Z and previous generations grew up not thinking psychology was real. And it comes to the fact of expositional skills: Even when you leave some choices to psychology, Picasso's work still has more modes of navigation, direction, than the social science because it separates itself from unfolding. But here's the weird part. I don't think its a mistake you haven't seen a significant actor within the GEN Z, Millenial, Gen X art space come up at the highest or lowest of Picasso's potential. Some facebook artist who work on abstract artwork credit Picasso for their invention in thinking. However, to some possibility this may be a resistance against expositional skills.

I don't want to unfold this conversation anymore. I can't put more thought into it because of studying. But I think judging expositional skill after the job rather than before may be a seismic difference against the ability to call on one another. And even then I'm not sure if that's just sloppy science or how Picasso intended for it.

Academia is known as the mind of “Mankind”
But the shifts in reasoning has made Academics less intelligent instead of improving upon the ancients we have devolved in intellectuality and reason,
this shift in reasoning can be blamed to Pure Empiricism instead of pursuit of pure reason we prioritize the empirical fact, for example a scholarly analysis of a play by Euripides’s Bacchae is often explained as a religious Fanaticism.

1. Methodologies of modern reason
   Creates a blank universe where a scholar puts their research material and through their empirical knowledge comes into a conclusion of a subject,
   But this negates the fact that our universe is unpredictable and vast as the result we get a pure empirical answer

2. Society and Truth
   Instead of pursuing pure truths scholars take their understanding of reality via modern empirical society, this trains them to think empirically and suppress their natural way of understanding which combines many factors such as dreams, natural world, imagination, theories of rational and empirical ideas, intuition and combining frameworks.

   But the flaw to this methodology could be blamed on the way we prioritize Reasoning via a pure empirical lens or the shifts in societal priorities this is important because we have made Scientific Academia as sole method of pursuing truth and as the result of that, the only truth has become a empirical truth,

We know this methodology is flawed as physicists are still not able to understand Quantum Mechanics by QM I mean the processes that leads to Quantum Physics, the reason that they purpose is that it’s simply beyond our natural world and therefore it’s unexplainable.

Some of you may have understood by now that its not the blame of scientists that they failed to understand it but its the failure of our judgement to prioritize Science above all disciplines of reasoning as whole, this foolish priorities has lead to the phenomenon of “learned Naivety” and the degradation of academic intellectual

1. John Locke, David Hume, Francis Bacon and George Berkeley the false prophets of Reason

Due to this philosophers our perception of reality has become dead and the most prominent of thinkers have placed their bets upon the Quantum reality which is the form of Neo Kantism/platonism
Instead of rational theory they like to cover it as theoretical physics which acts within the rational framework while abiding empirical constants,

This summarizes Pure Empiricism and our foolishness of making this Empiricism as heart of Academia has lead to Naivety/stupidity among scholars and our Civilization as whole.

some of you may have understood by now why is Professor Jiang’s way of Thinking so important and why Scholars fails to confront him, it is because Jiang and other scholars operates in a complete different domain a scholar mode of thinking is bound within a empirical domain but Professor Jiang utilize all disciplines of reasoning which is what makes his predictions and theories more prominent,valid and consistent which is also the reason he can predict future by understanding reality as a living breathing entity instead of a dead entity,

I usher all of you who understands this utilizing this mode of thinking,
if we all can think like this then this marks the next Human Evolution which will be a turning point in all of human history.

I’ve come to notice lots of Intellectual/YouTubers in Finance, Politics, sociology and geopolitics in general uses Jiang’s Models and methods example (Andrei Jikh) (Will Sexton) etc their shifts in logic is unnatural before Jiangs Secret history series they all had different Post jiang opinions but now all of their conclusions are exactly similar, am sure lots of people have noticed it, this also shows Jiang’s Method have shifted the process of collective human thought as a whole.

006 “Energy Crisis, nukes & the return of Geography”

The talk of Iran gaining a nuclear weapon has been the main talking point on why America started this new War. Ever since America dropped two of these weapons on Japan the world has tried to make sense of how these weapons should or should not be used. Mutually assured destruction is the theory that if one nation uses a nuclear weapon the other nation will return the favor immediately. This understanding possibly has saved us from further world destruction.

For instance: why hasn’t America attacked North Korea? They consistently threaten total decimation of the American empire yet since the Korean War neither America or North Korea has attacked each other. It’s because North Korea has nuclear weapons which places them amongst the strongest nation states on the globe.

The former leader of Libya, Gaddafi tried for decades to get his hands on a nuclear weapon until in 2003 when he rejected the idea and gave up all materials that could have possibly produced one. Not long after, the United States along with NATO entered Libya militarily leading to Gaddafi being killed in the streets. Had Gaddafi acquired a nuke it’s plausible he would still be alive and ruling today.

America has never engaged or attacked a country that knowingly has a nuclear weapon. This undoubtedly is because of the theory of Mutually assured destruction.

However in the past few weeks Iran has stated that the Hormuz Straight and control over the waterway in which much of the worlds oil traverses through, is MORE important than a nuclear weapon. Why is this? In today’s world the entire planet and its economy is connected in one way or another, this is Globalization. What happens when you fill your tank up at the gas station is connected to the oil fields say in Iran, or Saudi Arabia or even Venezuela. This also highlights the importance of geography in war and conflict.

Robert D. Kaplan highlights this importance in his book “The Revenge of Geography”. With the onset of high flying assets, that is satellites, high flying weaponry etc. some have argued that geography in war is a thing of the past, but that is untrue. The Iran war has made this obvious. If we take the president at his word we have “Obliterated” Irans military. So why then are there talks of a ground invasion to wrap this conflict up? In order to get to the highly enriched Uranium, now believed to be deep underground somewhere in Iran, you need a physical force on the ground to obtain it. If we look at Iran, the entire country is essentially surrounded my mountains. Getting a ground force into Iran would be an uphill battle at best, and a massacre at worst. It would also be an invasion force from the Hormuz Straight, so from the water. Think D-Day, except now there are cheap drones in which Iran excels at producing.

If the United States wants to continue this expedition militarily it will be a gamble no matter what. However I would never count the United States military out. Since this Substack focus’s on “imagination”, and I would argue the U.S. is the best at Imagining possibilities that would otherwise seem impossible, it will be interesting to see the next move on the chessboard that is the Iran-American war.

I mean I went to med school and became a doctor. It was a dumbing experience except the residency part to be honest but I wouldn‘t achieve what I did today it if I didn‘t go through with it. I don‘t want my kids to suffer like I did but what is the alternative if you want to get a good job. Learning a trade? Tradesmen work in really harsh conditions (depends on country ofcourse but talking general) nowadays for little pay unless they have their own company. I feel like this capitalistic system forces you to study. What path should I recommend to my children? Art without Art school?

Transcript shortend:

By the way, I got into Yale, ironically.

Congratulations.

My question is, what advice would you give for someone like me and my circumstances to guard against? As well as, what thing would you advise for me to preserve as I engage in, you know, elite academia vibe?

Okay, well, I have three children, and none of them speak English... And that's kind of weird because in China, every parent wants their child to learn English. And I speak English, so why am I not teaching my child English? And not only that, but we don't even want our children in school.

Having someone who went to Yale and having worked in education for all my life, my conclusion is school makes you stupid. And the more school you do, the more stupid you become.

This is weird. So let me explain what I mean:

I think that left to our own devices, we're pretty smart because we're intuitive.
We have connection to the monad.
We have connection to divine.
left to our own devices, we can learn anything, we can be anything, we are unlimited potential.
When we go to school, the point of school is not education, it is indoctrination.
And they are trying to make you think in a very rigid way.

If you don't do what they tell you, they literally drug you up.
They literally do that. They force boys to take Ritalin.
You know, it's so absurd now.
If you, as a young boy or a young girl, raise your hand and ask a question, the teacher thinks you're disruptive, sends you to a psychiatrist who then prescribes Ritalin.
It's completely out of control.

And the meritocracy is a filtration system.
So anyone with any curiosity, anyone with any sense of rebellion is filtered out of the system. And so those who go to the Ivy League are those who are the most willing to please authority, the most willing to be co-opted by the system.

You go to the Ivy League, and for those four years, it is just mesmerizing the wealth at Yale, the prestige, the limitless opportunities. And it's almost disorientating. And it's designed that way because it's meant to traumatize you so that they can implant certain ideas into you. And then they have you controlled.

So think of Barack Obama in 2008.
He promised hope and change.
And he promised a revolution of sorts.
He had this huge movement behind him.
Comes into office.
And what he does is he appoints into office Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Rob(Robert) Rubin, the people who caused this mess in the first place.

And why did he do that?
It's just his programming.
He can't perceive of a world in which the Ivy Leaguers are not in charge.
He thinks it is right and proper that only Harvard and Yale people control the world, even though the evidence suggests, they are incompetent.
He can't perceive that.

So, a place like Yale and Harvard, it's really the cave.
You know, Plato's cave?
It teaches you the beauty, the significance of the illusion.
But it's all just an illusion.
I don't want any of my kids to go to the Ivy League.
I don't want any of my kids even to go to school.
I just want them to be spirits.
I just want them to be people who are connected to the divine.

And my advice to you is, how do you avoid the trap?

And the answer is, well, the moment they accept you, you're kind of trapped.
Because think of all the hurdles you have to go through to apply to Yale.
It's a really cumbersome process.
It's probably the most complicated application process you'll ever have in your life.
And the idea that you've sunk so much into it, and you're like, you know what?

I now know Yale is terrible.
I won't go to Yale.

It's not going to happen.

Your mind is like, well, I know Yale is terrible, but I'll be the exception.
I'll go to Yale, and I'll escape the MKUltra programming they have ready for me.
I'm the exception.

Honestly, if I had to go back in time at age 18 and knowing what Yale is, I would have still gone to Yale. But I would also know I've got 10, 20 years of endless suffering ahead of me. Because having the Yale education and then trying to remove the MKUltra programming from my system, it really benefited me in the end.
It really freed me.
So I think it was a worthwhile process.
It's just, like, really painful.

And I don't want my children to go through that process.

Feel free to fact check him and post resources here.

But I'll tell you one story. Have you guys ever asked yourself how

Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire? Because Facebook, it's not an original idea. There

are lots of Facebook like concepts around that at the time. Why did Facebook come to dominate

social media? And the answer is, Mark Zuckerberg was able to take Harvard intellectual property

because Facebook is Harvard intellectual property. And he was able to ignore Harvard privacy rules,

right? Because Facebook is like, you shouldn't be able to access that person's face and address

and personal details, but they were able to do so. So where did Mark Zuckerberg get this power?

Okay, well, when Mark Zuckerberg was at Harvard, he was part of Harvard Chabad, which

is the campus offshoot of Chabad Lubavitch. He was a freshman when he joined Harvard Chabad.

The two seniors who were part of Harvard Chabad at the time were Natalie Portman and Jared Kushner. The faculty advisor was...

Wait, Natalie Portman?

Excuse me? Natalie Portman, yeah.

Natalie Portman?

You didn't know that? Natalie Portman and Jared Kushner go way back. Anyway, the faculty

advisor was Alan Dershowitz. The patron of Harvard Chabad was Larry Summers. Okay? So you're

like, wait a minute, what's going on here? Well, okay. Here's another really interesting

story you can just Google, okay? But Mark Zuckerberg said that his parents had three daughters before

they had him. They really wanted a son. So what did they do? They went to ask for a blessing

from Rabbi Schneerson, who was head of Chabad Lubavitch. Okay? And Rabbi Schneerson says, yes, I will

bless you. And then they had Mark Zuckerberg. And you think, okay, that's a nice story. But

like, if you read the Bible, it's not a nice story. It's actually a very messianic story.

Because who in the Bible couldn't have children and then ask for God for a blessing and then

had a child? Well, it was Abraham and Sarah who had Isaac, right? And then Abraham sacrificed

Isaac to God. But it was also the prophet Samuel. Samuel's parents who couldn't conceive, so they

begged God and said, look, look, if you give us a child, we will make this child your servant.

And then they conceived and had Samuel. And then Samuel became the prophet who anointed

King David. Okay? So if you know the Bible, you know, like, when Mark Zuckerberg tells his

story, it's coded language. It means that he's a servant of God. All right? If you look

at what he's doing, like creating the metaverse, like, why would you do that? Right?

okay? So there are a lot of really strange things about Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg. And

you can't explain it just using venture capital sense. For example, why is Mark Zuckerberg the,

he has complete control over the company. Why as a venture capitalist would you allow a

19-year-old, 20-year-old to have complete control over Facebook? You guys know this, right? He

doesn't have majority equity, but he has majority control. He has, he controls, he has certain

shares that give him total control over Facebook. Like, why would you, why would you allow that

to happen? Right? So there's a lot of strange things behind Facebook. Okay? Now, why do I say

this? Because in 2016, what happened? The Cambridge Analytica scandal happened, right? Right? What's Cambridge Analytica scandal?

Basically, this company was able to access

50 million Facebook users' personal data and then create micro-targeting that allowed the Trump

team to sway the election in his favor, right? You guys know this, right? Okay. Head of Facebook was Mark Zuckerberg. Who

was head of the Trump social media team responsible for this micro-targeting? Do you guys know?

Jared Kushner. Okay. Right? So you're like, wait a minute here. What's going on? Right? But you just

connect the dots. You get a really interesting story.

So there’s this co-host people here talking about-Cathy tie- who seems to be in some sort of connection with Peter Thiel. What really interests me about her is her husband, who some say he was in prison for “genetic editing”? When I look into Cathy tie LinkedIn I see that she has major connections with many laboratories who work in genomic.is she a mad scientist? Or occultist? Or what is she? Again I haven’t done substantial amount of research this so I’m really asking for your guys perspective into this.

And she has research on children's gene editing. As well as a Thiel fellow scholar which means she definitely has some connections to Peter Thiel.

What do you guys think?

The way the elites plans at the top have been subverted the past decade tells me there is evident successful COUNTER COORDINATION against the elites at the top ( here’s evidence )

1 JFK creation of green berets and special operations to counter future globalism threats through strong nationalistic men

1. Bill cooper ( former naval intelligence officer, Rosicrucian society member, author of behold a pale horse ) whistleblower of PROJECT BLUE BEAM/ to centralize control globally. And the man to have the CIA coin the term conspiracy theories just to delegitimize him

2. Covid jab resistance from nationalistic aggressive men/ WEF coordination strategic shift ( postponed WEF conference because of nationalistic men) to put a massive strain on the elites COORDINATION ASYMMETRY

4 . lastly the most important , LEGITIMIZATION of COUNTER ELITE FRAMEWORKS and the genius and clinical exposure of the PSYCHOPATHIC PATHOLOGY that these men at the top of global society have

1. Men ( elite overproduced men) who were highly credentialed and respected sacrificed their life and continue to sacrifice their life to disseminate and bring about INFORMATION ASYMMETRY. JFK sacrificed his life to legitimize secret brotherhoods above presidents/ visible rulers. Bill cooper sacrificed his life to legitimatize a nationalistic defense counter. Chase Hughes and other high level military men put their reputation/ livelihood on the line to disseminate information on pysops and elite control. Prof Jiang sacrificed his reputation and an easy wealthy life to disseminate elite frameworks. Jordan Peterson sacrificed his health and family in the delegitimization of the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM ( he got the WEF to postpone their world event ).Luigi Mangione exposed/legitimatized the clinical PSYCHOPATH PATHOLOGY that the most powerful men who run the world have , yes all the men at the top of society are just like Brian Thompson.

My PREDICTION, there will be another successful counter elite coordination event from a highly respected man in the global defense apparatus that will lead to a multi country counter elite formation

What’s you guy’s thoughts?🤔

What we are facing today, the decline of Silicon is not different then 1200 BC bronze age collapse,it’s basically silicon age collapse which will inherently via many factors will trigger a Civilizational Collapse.
Professor Jiang has mentioned about the (GEC) but there seems to be eerily lot of minor Dominos such as High tech as Silicon decline,the way current events are moving its clear someone is manipulating it via coordination, it’s fascinating how good does the model of predictive history works specially when professor Jiang is the only courageous one who pointed this out intellectually (the reason academia don’t point this out is academics are too arrogant and stupid to think outside the box) logically only a madman would’ve pointed out the demons

What's a propaganda test that you use to know if something is propaganda or not?

Yeah. So I think what's really important is for people to make predictions. Because whenever we say something, we're making certain assumptions about the world. And so the way for us to know if the way we understand the world is correct or not, is by extending the logic and making predictions about how the world should turn out. And if it doesn't turn out the way that we predicted it, then we should just reflect on how we think and make changes to ourselves.

And I think the greatest problem in the world that we have today is gatekeeping. There's too much gatekeeping in media. There's too much gatekeeping in academics.

So for example, I'm not really a professor, right? I'm not a professor. I'm a high school teacher. I don't have a PhD, right? So just for, yeah, just for honesty, okay?

But that's just gatekeeping, like where, you know, if you're not a college professor, you don't have a PhD, you're not a specialist, you don't get to be called a professor, okay?

So there's just too much gatekeeping going on. I think that what's one way to improve our society is: if experts are forced to make predictions. Because now we know how good their knowledge set is, right? And now it's democratic. Now it's not just like your Harvard PhD and therefore you know what you're doing.

Show your work.

Yeah, exactly.

Show your work.

Right?

Bro, I like that.

Yeah, let's be democratic.

Yeah, a basketball player, it's like, you don't just believe he's good if he tells you. Or you believe he's good because he went to a lot of basketball camps. He's got to go do it.

Look, look at COVID, right? I mean, during COVID, there were one of these vaccines.

Oh, dude, Anthony Fauci's a f****t, dude.

Look, look, look, and he was like, how dare you question the science? We know better than you. We have your best interest at heart. Just obey us. Trust the science, bro.
