Brad Johnson it is April the seventh in
00:04
this increasingly bizarre global
00:06
scenario I think people around the world
00:09
are starting to lose faith in all
00:11
sources of information so it’s even more
00:13
important than ever to have some kind of
00:15
sense of what’s actually going on you
00:17
have some observations and insights
00:19
about what Steve Bannon said on his TV
00:22
appearance yesterday
00:24
please elucidate all right very well yes
00:28
Steve Bannon now he was the former
00:30
campaign director for Donald Trump and
00:32
was integral in getting Donald Trump
00:34
elected so of course he’s a hated figure
00:36
on the left for his help towards Trump
00:39
and they would look at him as guilty of
00:41
Russian collusion and who knows what
00:43
other invention they might have for
00:45
things he’d be guilty of but Steve
00:48
Bannon came out yesterday he went on a
00:50
little bit on the on the TV news circuit
00:53
and what part of what he was talking
00:54
about and he was yesterday on morning on
00:57
Fox News was very interesting and it’s
01:00
been completely ignored by everyone and
01:02
it should not be because it’s far more
01:04
significant than people recognize what
01:06
he came up basically said was look
01:09
forget any culpability any guilt on the
01:13
part of the Chinese for this Cohen virus
01:16
19 thing that comes later what we need
01:19
to worry about right now is getting over
01:22
the hump on the disease itself
01:24
now that’s extraordinarily significant
01:29
and let me tell you why let me explain
01:31
why that’s so important now Steve Bannon
01:34
was had some navy intelligence time so
01:36
he understands intelligence Steve Bannon
01:39
is also very involved and has a very
01:41
deep understanding on the long-term
01:43
strategic threat posed by China he
01:46
absolutely understands the stuff way
01:48
ahead of the bell curve on compared to
01:51
almost anyone on this issue so he’s
01:53
extremely knowledgeable about it and and
01:57
he praised all of that in this in a very
02:00
interesting way saying you know don’t
02:01
worry about any you know any culpability
02:03
of the Chinese now that’s for later
02:04
let’s worry about getting over the
02:06
problem and so he knows for example
02:09
things I’ve been talking about a lot for
02:11
example the FBI
02:13
arrested they do have three cases they
02:15
arrested a guy in the airport trying to
02:17
enter the United States and I believe it
02:19
was Detroit and out of that plus two
02:23
more incidences where they don’t name
02:25
these in the report but they talk about
02:27
two other instances where Chinese are
02:29
smuggling things back and forth in and
02:32
out of the United States that have to do
02:34
with the SARS virus now as everyone
02:36
knows I hope kovat 19 is a SARS family
02:40
of virus so we knew from a year ago we
02:43
already had an unclassified warning out
02:45
of the FBI that they were up to
02:46
something
02:46
there’s been three or four arrests and
02:49
different you know problems with the
02:53
Chinese being involved with the level 4
02:56
lab in Canada and Winnipeg they were
02:58
kicked out basically for spying there we
03:00
have the Harvard professor who got
03:02
arrested for spying with the Chinese we
03:04
have these different guys who arrested
03:05
in the airport smuggling samples back
03:07
and forth going to China back from China
03:09
so we know that they’ve got this very
03:11
active intelligence program which can
03:13
only mean one thing we know all that for
03:16
a fact
03:16
and it can only mean one thing it means
03:18
that the Chinese intelligence service
03:20
was involved somehow doing something
03:23
with SARS so what could that be I mean
03:25
it’s only really one thing and that’s
03:26
some sort of weapons related issues
03:29
something that can be used by Chinese
03:31
intelligence Chinese military
03:33
intelligence as a weapon there is really
03:36
no other scenario out there that fits
03:38
these details so Steve Bannon
03:40
understands all that so he knows all
03:42
that so for him to come out and and he’s
03:45
sort of a person that can speak to the
03:47
troops if you will where they’ll pick up
03:50
on that and say okay fine the decision
03:52
has been made by the administration to
03:53
hold off on this and it’s a way that
03:55
they can say it unofficially and so that
03:58
it would be a role that Steve Allen
04:00
would serve beautifully because he no
04:01
longer holds a position in the
04:03
administration but I guarantee he’s
04:04
close to the administration they talk he
04:06
knows everybody involved and has a still
04:10
role of influence let’s say within the
04:12
administration uh you know conciliar
04:15
etai parole and so he’s involved and he
04:18
would say that not likely this is
04:20
something that was thought through so I
04:22
think what what what President Trump is
04:25
trying to do
04:26
as head off people like me you know and
04:29
all of the other people out there that
04:31
have started to point out wait there’s
04:32
problems with this problems with this
04:34
problems with this problems with this
04:35
you cannot argue that this is just some
04:37
freak of nature accident the proof is
04:39
starting to become overwhelming like I
04:42
said I just laid out again and I’ve done
04:43
it many times there’s clearly a Chinese
04:47
intelligence program related to SARS
04:49
over the last ten years that has been
04:51
very active even generating warnings
04:53
from the FBI it’s so active so we know
04:56
something was going on
04:57
so the guilt is clear that we don’t know
05:01
precisely what but that’s all going to
05:03
be proven over time and something that
05:06
will show up so and probably within the
05:11
administration there are people working
05:13
on it that already know that this was a
05:15
manufactured virus but the question is
05:19
when is the time to go after it and I
05:20
think that’s an absolutely valid
05:22
question on the part of the
05:22
administration and but I think the
05:24
president has done on you know guessing
05:27
at this I don’t know for a fact but I
05:29
think what the president has done and
05:30
said as decided let’s get this over with
05:32
first before we start pointing fingers
05:35
now the problem with that and where I
05:38
would diverge slightly from that logic
05:40
is I understand and you don’t want to go
05:42
into a major confrontation with China
05:43
with this problem taking place that that
05:46
is correct but the Chinese are in full
05:49
propaganda mode and we have different
05:51
universities for example and I’ve looked
05:53
fairly closely to a couple of these and
05:55
I don’t want to get into the specifics
05:57
of who these people are but if you look
06:00
back the the left claims that this
06:02
manufactured virus thing or where was
06:04
produced by a bioweapons lab is has been
06:08
debunked so I looked at what they’re
06:10
saying has been debunked and their
06:12
definition of debunked is coming from
06:15
these groups for example that have
06:17
Chinese oligarchs on the board of
06:19
directors well you can’t look at that
06:21
and say this is an unbiased organization
06:24
when they’ve got say a pharmaceutical
06:26
giant the CEO of this this Chinese
06:30
pharmaceutical giant on the board of
06:32
directors of their organization and
06:34
Chinese students going back and forth we
06:36
already know that’s all used by Chinese
06:39
intelligence so a
06:40
that we you know can easily surmise is
06:43
fully penetrated by Chinese intelligence
06:45
and at the very least is influenced by a
06:48
Chinese oligarch on the board of
06:49
directors who’s throwing probably
06:52
hundreds of thousands of not millions of
06:54
dollars in research grants into that
06:56
organization you cannot look at what
06:58
they say and then say oh okay it’s
07:00
debunked based on what these clearly Pro
07:03
Chinese guys are saying you do not
07:05
become a rich multi-millionaire head of
07:09
a multi-billion dollar industry in China
07:13
without working for and with the Chinese
07:16
Communist Party that does not exist in
07:18
their system there is no Microsoft that
07:23
we all know the head of Microsoft you
07:24
know is not necessarily a pro Trump guy
07:27
that does not exist in China the any big
07:30
company like that any in Lockheed
07:33
Martin’s and si C’s and the General
07:38
Electric GE and any of these big
07:39
companies in the BART big pharmaceutical
07:41
country’s companies they’re free to be
07:44
whatever they are here in the United
07:45
States and China they are not you would
07:47
not get the permissions to go into
07:48
business you wouldn’t be able to run
07:50
your business if you’re not connected to
07:52
the Chinese Communist Party could I cuz
07:54
it’s just to interject one odd possible
07:56
exception there’s a guy Chinese guy
07:58
named Guo Zhi UO who was a billionaire
08:01
and but he escaped the regime and he’s
08:04
being hunted by them he lives in New
08:05
York and he’s an extraordinary from what
08:09
I can tell agent against the CCP and is
08:12
desperately trying to wake Americans up
08:14
to the dangers of communism and of
08:16
Chinese communism so but again he’s not
08:18
over there enjoying the fruits of his
08:20
wealth he’s in the states correct this
08:24
is somebody who’s fled who’s in danger
08:26
of being killed by the Chinese Communist
08:29
Party he’s a defector and so a
08:31
completely separate type of individual
08:36
in this scenario somebody who’s still in
08:38
good standing who’s still the CEO of a
08:40
major huge big dollar industry company
08:44
out of China that those oligarchs are
08:47
our Communist Party members probably or
08:50
certainly you know they’re not forced to
08:52
join fine so that they can
08:54
where this facade of not being
08:55
associated with the Communist Party
08:57
those sorts of things now as I said if
09:00
you go look at most of the organizations
09:02
that have come out and said that they
09:05
have debunked this theory that the co19
09:11
virus was manufactured if you look at
09:15
who they are they’ve all got connections
09:17
like that but at least now I haven’t
09:19
studied every single one of them but the
09:20
two or three that I looked at all are
09:22
associated with China one way or another
09:23
all clearly being manipulated by China
09:25
and if you go then and start reading
09:27
what they’re saying for example one of
09:30
the big arguments that they all point to
09:31
and say that covered 19 is not
09:34
manufactured because the the way that
09:38
the SARS virus was changed and developed
09:43
to form
09:44
Cobin 19 that those changes exist in
09:48
nature
09:49
now okay yes just because that exists in
09:54
nature they’re saying by that fact alone
09:56
that proves that this cannot have been a
10:00
manufactured virus but it does not prove
10:03
that because they have no theory nobody
10:06
needs to them have laid out any theory
10:10
even no they don’t even have ideas how
10:12
from where that exists in nature how it
10:16
got crossed over into a SARS virus so
10:19
they don’t make that argument they just
10:21
say oh this exists in nature therefore
10:24
this is not manufactured but the
10:26
opposite is in fact just as true if it
10:28
exists in nature it would be easier for
10:30
them to pull out and then use to change
10:33
the SARS virus to make it into code 19
10:37
so that even just reading true they say
10:40
it’s clear to non-scientists that what
10:44
they’re doing is essentially propaganda
10:46
ask if you’ll allow me to create that
10:49
word it’s not scientific to say that it
10:53
exists in it for and in nature therefore
10:57
clearly somehow we don’t know how but
10:59
somehow obviously leap from over there
11:01
to over here and the start and magically
11:04
just became this this this different
11:06
hybrid of
11:08
that’s then so dangerous so all of them
11:10
share that in common they all share
11:12
these ties back to China and they all
11:14
share these safety bucket that clearly
11:16
do not I would say that all of them are
11:19
being manipulated at a minimum and some
11:22
of them may be actively cooperating with
11:23
the Chinese but at a minimum these
11:25
people that say they’ve debunked it are
11:27
are being manipulated and so I think
11:31
that is the exact reason at the heart of
11:34
this why Steve Bannon came out and said
11:36
yesterday forget that stuff for now
11:38
first fix the problem which is the
11:41
disease then we were about that other
11:43
stuff clearly in the background of all
11:47
of us all of the countries all of
11:48
Western Europe United States Canada we
11:50
all need to be looking at reparations
11:52
from camp from China out of this all
11:54
said Canada we need to look at
11:56
reparations out of China for this
11:59
problem and I think again I would
12:00
tighten back to they did a lot of that
12:03
they didn’t report on this early on
12:05
because of how it would interfere with
12:07
the billions of dollars they were gonna
12:09
make from the Chinese New Year which of
12:11
course back in November and early
12:13
December they’d already identified all
12:14
this already knew is a problem but let
12:16
it run through Chinese New Year in
12:19
January they say this all started to
12:21
come out it was after all I waited until
12:23
after Chinese New Year and after all the
12:25
expats had returned to their foreign
12:27
nations from visiting China for New
12:30
Year’s and that’s what makes me
12:31
suspicious look I have two questions for
12:33
which I’m not actually expecting an
12:34
answer but I think they’re the questions
12:36
that need to be floated and one is I
12:39
mean I think a lot anyone really paying
12:41
attention thinks this virus is an
12:42
artifact and what I want to know is what
12:45
are its attributes because I don’t I
12:47
want to know with any of the measures
12:49
we’re taking or meaningful it because if
12:51
this thing just floats around in the air
12:53
and you’re gonna get it at home from the
12:54
throat coming in the window then we
12:56
might as well get back to work so I want
12:58
to know what the real attributes of this
13:00
thing are because I don’t I think that’s
13:02
really important and if they’ve if they
13:03
understand this as an artifact
13:05
they may be close to understanding that
13:07
and the second thing is that the Chinese
13:09
has said either to France or to the
13:11
United Kingdom that they refused to sell
13:13
masks probably back to them unless they
13:17
agreed that to allow China’s spy firm
13:20
Huawei
13:21
to set up 5g so without going into a lot
13:24
of advance that was France so I don’t
13:28
see how anyone can not see that as being
13:30
a demand for capitulation for surrender
13:33
after an attack that is exactly right
13:37
and whether or not and and this is the
13:40
argument you raise one of the real
13:41
strong evidentiary points to because
13:45
basically there’s two theories here the
13:47
whole I mean under the premise that this
13:50
was created on purpose then there’s two
13:53
possibilities at that point at that
13:54
juncture it either was accidentally
13:57
released or it was released on purpose
13:59
both are you know at this point are
14:03
valid theories I mean this is a
14:05
theoretical discussion at this point
14:06
because the underlying premise has not
14:08
been yet confirmed completely but on the
14:11
evidence is becoming fairly overwhelming
14:12
that this was a created virus an
14:15
artifact as you say so at that point
14:17
then was it released by accident
14:18
released on purpose now the timing can
14:20
be argued either way just before Chinese
14:22
New Year this was let loose if it was
14:24
done on accident you know it hits at a
14:26
terrible time if it came out and
14:28
destroyed the Chinese New Year
14:30
celebrations where they would have make
14:31
so much money but on the other hand the
14:34
other side of that argument is that it
14:35
was released on purpose because there
14:37
were millions of people traveling into
14:39
the acts expert community as you point
14:41
out that we’re traveling into China
14:43
spending all of that money and then
14:45
going back home and it would be the
14:46
absolutely perfect venue to use to
14:50
spread this virus worldwide so I see
14:54
both of those as being very valid
14:56
theories and interesting and I I kind of
14:59
tipped back and forth between the two
15:00
just depending as evidence comes out
15:02
that kind of goes either way it’s hard
15:05
to know so I I’m at least myself
15:07
personally have not really decided which
15:10
way the is the kind of prominent theory
15:12
on it because either one of them seems
15:14
so viable either way it doesn’t matter
15:17
in the sense that the Chinese are now
15:19
taking full advantage of this in every
15:22
way they can and as you say there should
15:24
be no question in anyone’s mind that the
15:26
Chinese are aggressively using this to
15:30
take over as much influence as they pass
15:32
possibly
15:33
and you can see it’s straight-up
15:34
blackmail they are blackmailing my
15:36
throne in France and what is macron
15:39
doing he’s gonna fold that’s what he
15:41
that’s who he is he’s gonna fold so we
15:44
will see how this plays out but it’s
15:45
absolutely be used aggressively by the
15:47
Chinese this is my counter-argument to
15:50
what it appears to me that the
15:52
administration has decided to hold off
15:54
on confronting the Chinese until the
15:56
problems fixed because we don’t need one
15:58
more set of problems the other side of
16:00
that is the Chinese are not holding off
16:02
and they are aggressively going after
16:04
every place they can that’s why for me
16:06
at least personally that’s why I think
16:08
we need to push back on this issue and
16:10
the Chinese are not aggressively going
16:12
after Canada and I’m afraid it’s because
16:13
they don’t have to Brad Johnson thank
16:15
you very much for this this is really
16:17
important I’m going to sign off now so I
16:20
can get this up online right away
