As opposed to the posturing and platitudes of the online virtue signalers, James and Gabriel discuss the community-based solutions posited in Gabriel’s article, “‘Internet Badasses’ aren’t going to stop Digital ID,” including:

  • Re-integrating yourself into your local community, getting to know your neighbors
  • Using cash & local currencies
  • Building support groups
  • Supporting and expanding independent local businesses
  • Understanding that Digital ID is a system not an implementation. There are both public and private sources of Digital ID, consider them both; and
  • Caring about results
    • Do you know how dependent your local economy is on government & BlackRock?
    • Do you know how many people have already opt-ed in with or without knowing?

Gabriel’s weight loss updates

124 Comments

  1. One important point that Gabriel indicated when he was talking about his incentive to lose weight….he had to want to do this himself. No one was able to give him the incentive. Normally there is a certain ‘rock bottom’ that people must hit, before they make personal changes in their lives, whether the issue is being obese, an alcoholic, drug users, etc. Hopefully this past covid experience, where many who have been trusting of government directives now understand the error in doing so, whether believing in ‘safe and effective’ or actually having adverse reactions, will help to wake up additional people who otherwise would continue to adhere to these directives. However, the list above, with regard to using cash and supporting local businesses etc., does not provide a ‘solution’ to digital ID, IMHO, as obviously you can still be a party to both ideologies. Hopefully Gabriel’s website indicates something more solution based.

    • “with regard to using cash and supporting local businesses etc., does not provide a ‘solution’ to digital ID, IMHO, as obviously you can still be a party to both ideologies.”

      This is very true, but in some ways it is an advantage. The more actually decentralized your local economy, infrastructure, etc actually is; the more ‘flexibility’ there is to resist any top-down agenda. You’re absolutely right that individual choice will always be a factor and it always will be, but the goal isn’t to change that. People will always have the capability and sometimes the desire to go along with evil for some reason or another.

      I believe people actually need to “see the difference” to even have a chance. As a Canadian, talking about the benefits of free markets feels almost entirely abstract when nearly every enterprise is reliant on government in one form or another. I think you would grant that while decentralization itself doesn’t fix everything, it nurtures fertile ground for resistance. My argument isn’t that this fertile ground is sufficient to resist, but it is certainly necessary.

      I would ask you, what would a “solution” do Digital ID actually look like?
      Would a drop-in replacement that appears to be decentralized fit the bill?
      Personally I don’t think ‘decentralized’ Digital ID schemes (Decentralized social media, Solid, etc) are a panacea at all to resolve the true issues inherent in Digital ID, which is why I wrote “Recognize it is a system, not an implementation”.
      The actual solution in my mind is the eternal battle to protect anonymity online and in the real world, that requires many different factors that all need to be given their own emphasis.
      Technologically, we’re very far behind. Given that the ‘system’ has such a huge advantage in developing products many choose to aim to opt-out of digital technology across the board.
      I don’t think we have to accept this, my primary message is that it is possible to reshape our digital landscape from the bottom up with enough creativity, dedication and cooperation.
      I believe this would absolutely help a great deal with Digital ID and many other agendas, but it’s a long journey.

      • Yes, I understand about the decentralization, but how exactly does one ‘resist’ if you must eventually have a digital ID to have a driver’s license, or enter a building, or buy groceries, or travel? I live in the EU, and we just had a storm where the internet was out for about a week. I would have hoped that this would awaken people to the issues with online shopping or banking, eventual CBDC and yes, even crypto. Or digital anything. But it appears that the lesson wasn’t learned, as once the internet came back on, behavior again reverted to as it was.

  2. Hello fellow Corbett Report subscribers!
    Gabriel here, happy to answer any follow-up questions!

    • Good interview.

      On tech I see you have a couple of solutions posted but I would like to ask how much tech you think can be allowed into the average person’s life?

      I am currently on a tiny screen but most of the time I use an old laptop (currently dead) with Linux and have a 2nd computer that never touches the internet for my other stuff. The thing is that while some people like to tinker most people are exactly what Steve Jobs thought they were and just want an appliance they don’t need to think about to use. In light of that what solution do you think exists for lazy people? Do you think a partial rejection of tech is in order or that new companies will step in and offer tech that is as easy to use and as cheep?

      It’s a serious question, because the other people will fed plenty of information about me into the system. I tend to be an anti social type but am not ready to go full “Uncle Ted” , lol. I am also seeing a divergence in zoomers between the tech immersed and a skepticism. Are you seeing this too?

      The issue for the immersed is convenience- I have my own “Netflix” set up on a pi with Kodi but I know others who hate Netflix and think it’s evil but still pay their fees every month because they are weak and revolting people.

      On weight loss have you tried keto?
      I dropped a ton of weight fast like that and go back on when I start larding up again.

      • Great question(s)! This has been the subject of my research over many years.
        I definitely think there is a great deal of “low-hanging fruit” in terms of what to avoid, or what to prioritize, but the devil is in the details.
        The way I think about it is that regardless of what level we want to hit, we should maximize digital autonomy.
        By digital autonomy I mean people using systems that work for them rather than against them.
        In some ways, not going “overboard” on technology is a pre-requisite for this.
        On the other hand, many people are justifiably concerned about falling behind or not being competitive.
        This is why I’ve been learning as much as I can about the “lower levels” of the technological stack such as hardware/firmware, cables and low-level protocols.

        I wholeheartedly believe that we can build a better technological future, or at least one that is less predatory, if we put the effort in decentralizing innovation itself. it’s quite a “pie in the sky” long-term aspiration, but I think it’s absolutely possible to build momentum in that direction. I did an interview with a brilliant programmer named Sam Smith who is building Serenum. We talk about the challenges in actually building a new direction, but there’s a lot of valuable things to learn on the way!

        RE Keto: I did lose 80lbs before covid doing keto.
        You’re welcome to read about it here: https://gabe.rocks/health/how/#early-adulthood
        These days I’m certainly more focused on calorie count > protein targets > everything else which definitely cuts out a lot of carbs!

        • Thanks.

          I tend to think of “the Dumbest generation” as a good text on how millennials were damaged by constant connectivity causing opportunity cost on things that would have improved their thinking and knowledge.

          Do you think that the majority people are going to adapt to the social and info overload or will we be left dealing with a large number of broken minded people?

          I tend to think the latter, but I am gloomy

        • A quick unsolicited advice: don’t count calories. It’s a made up stat that tells you absolutely nothing about the food that you eat. They burn some matter and throw a number at you. I would say raw food is an absolute must, get as much as you can of alive nutrients.

          • Live diet + carnivore diet = horror movie.

            lol.
            But more seriously that is good advice

      • Regarding the keto diet, I think it’s great but make sure you drink enough water. There’s a significant amount of water weight lost on the diet. It takes time to start burning fat. But drinking enough fluids is critical because there is water content in food. Meat has much less.

        Many people like the carnivore diet also and claim it’s better than keto. I know someone who is in their 70s who lost a ton of weight and improved their health significantly. He’s probably in better shape than I am and many people his age. He was able to stop all of his blood pressure meds and meds for type 2 diabetes.

        My opinion is that carbs can be used strategically after a period of time on keto and for some people it’s good to switch it up so metabolism doesn’t slow. Carb cycling can help with keeping metabolism in tip top shape in addition to high intensity exercise and weights. Just make sure not to over do it.

        I’ve seen some people trying to get their heart rate up into the 180s which IMO isn’t good unless a person is already fit. I had a young patient, late 20s early 30s need to be admitted to the hospital because she was doing too much high intensity exercise before she was fit enough to tolerate it.

        • Drinking water in keto helps flush out the waste products…..my breath always gets an acetone stink when I’m doing it and you need to wash the stuff out.

          I think you’re probably right about the water weight, it does something to reset the hormones and water bloat is a hormone thing I think.

    • Great interview! I checked out your site and found I had already bookmarked it. Now that it’s again on my radar, I will delve further.

      • Thank you Jo-ann! Glad to hear it’s been bookmarked!
        I really need to do a long-overdue visual overhaul of the site.
        I’m happy with the functionality I built into it but my web design skills absolutely need work 😖

    • A critical prerequisite for any debate about technology leading to totalitarianism is Jacques Ellul’s “Technological Society.” Gabriel mentions Kaczynski’s manifesto being a lead-off to his mission to prove him wrong. So it’s worth mentioning that Ellul’s “Technological Society” was heavily influential to Kaczynski, but notably Ellul was a Catholic theologian/sociologist and never advocated violence. Ellul’s works were first translated to English due to Aldous Huxley’s recommendation when asked in the 1950s what he thought was an important book for understanding technology’s effects on society. The full Ellul trilogy includes, which I highly recommend: “Technological Society,” “Propaganda,” and “Political Illusion.”

    • @Gabriel

      It is so great to see this cross pollination of great minds from my Solari Report connections with James and all my fellow Corbett Report members! Great work with the interview man!

      Firstly, I admire your tolerance and compassion for those that have lost their way (and/or never found their way to begin with).

      Secondly, I would appreciate your opinion on how I approached a situation on Substack with a MD/herbalist lady who I had been interacting with recently and then I found an old post where she said:

      “Transition is the trial, the testing, the journey. Everyone had a transition phase in COVID. Mine didn’t really start until after vaccines became available and I thought we had reached the beginning of the end. After that, dozens of patients I cared for died unnecessarily because they had chosen not to get vaccinated. I felt deep anger toward the unvaccinated people who didn’t die..”

      I responded by calling out her continuing promotion of the mRNA injections publicly as a violation of her oath to do no harm ( full note here: https://substack.com/@gavinmounsey/note/c-90322099 ) but after listening to what you said here I am wondering if there was a better way I could have approached the situation. What do you think?

      Thirdly, I will share three subsequent links in other comments to short videos that pertain to the inherent characteristics of certain technologies, the nature of modern concrete jungles and the romanticization of “civilization”. I would value your feedback on those videos when you find the time to watch.

      Thanks for sharing your experiences and ideas here.

      • Thank you G!
        As far as handling that situation, I’ll have to admit I don’t have great suggestions, but something stood out to me.
        She writes:

        “As an ER doctor, I feel a deep need to be witnessed in this way. I need those who know me to understand deeply what has happened to me over the past three years and recognize that COVID really happened. Right now, it feels like we are already trying to suppress that memory and pretend it did not.”

        This is very interesting to me, I’m sure many even “on our side” feel the same way. I know I do.
        I’ll admit it’s very hard for me to have sympathy for people who had authority in this tragedy, but I can understand how even the foot-soldiers were abused in (different) ways.

        Terez would likely go further! Challenging us to dare to think we wouldn’t act much differently in the same circumstances.
        While I struggle with fully accepting that, I can recognize the importance of truly understanding those factors.
        Healthcare workers across the board received more intense propaganda from sources they were trained to trust.
        When your work is often life-and-death, it’s likely not hard to make a new phenomenon appear that way.

        What I would say, is that this is a good opportunity to keep the conversation going.
        Many people just want to “move on” and have many of us (on all sides of the issue) shut up about the covid years, and while we have a different perspective than her we all agree (presumably) that the conversation must continue. My impression is that the team Trump and those aligned with the democrats would very much like to bury the conversation of what was actually done to people. In some ways we can be thankful that even our opponents won’t really let that happen. I also see it as a testament of the strength of this kind of propaganda.

        I’m glad you brought up Solari, because I feel like much of what I’ve brought to the table here is merely explaining from my perspective what “turning the red button green” looks like at the individual level. It’s easy for many of us to think in terms of political systems, but proactively focusing on our day-to-day has real impact too! If it wasn’t for places like the Corbett Report and Solari, I feel my sanity over the last few years would have been much worse for wear!

        • @Gabriel

          Thanks for the thoughtful response brother.

          I feel like I should provide some additional context to what led up to my posting that for clarity.

          I saw her posting about how she thinks the US withdrawing from WHO membership is a bad idea because she thinks all their “contact tracing”, genetic injections and lockdown measures are going to protect us from the big bad ebola and bird flu so I shared my concerns about that entity, the fascistic characteristics of locking down healthy people and the dangers of the genetic injections she is promoting.

          She regurgitated some Theresa Tam-esk/Fauci-esk propaganda about “we`re all on this together, you have to do your part”.

          So, I told her about my two buddies (my age) that died from heart issues after getting the injections, I told her about my other friend in the Armed Forces that has myocarditis and pericarditis (after his career was threatened to be taken away from him if he did not take the injection). Explained to her they were healthy until they received said injections, and then asked, given all of that, why is she still saying those injections have value for everyone?

          She responded with:

          “The vaccinations clearly had value, there were many I cared for that are dead or permanently disabled from COVID. All were unvaccinated… …I am not really interested in re-adjudicating this or discussing further.”

          So she is refusing to look at evidence to enhance her understanding of these systems and medical products, and essentially is stating that she now has a dogmatic belief system where she has declared they are “safe and effective” in perpetuity.

          Yes that part where she talked about a deep need to be witnessed stood out for me as well.

          The part that I find to involve cognitive dissonance with regards to her stated need to be seen and recognized for the trauma she went through is where she is not willing to witness and acknowledge the reality of those that took those injections and suffered or died as a result.

          So, on the one hand she wants people to see how she suffered seeing all the death in the hospitals, but then she blames the “unvaccinated” for all those deaths and refuses to witness or acknowledge their suffering.

          I agree many people are refusing to honestly look at the ugliness of the covid era and integrate that into their lives now, but it appears that this lady Amy wants to do exactly what she is criticizing others for doing. She wants to look at her time in the ER from her own POV, elevate those that followed the government narratives and demonize and dismiss those that did not.

          That seems like a super unhealthy way to look back at events and behave in the present. I do not know how to open up a constructive dialogue with someone like that. A testament to the strength of the propaganda indeed.

          Yes the Solari and CR communities have indeed provided sanctuaries of solace and grounding anchors/mirrors in the diverse viewpoints and data shared within said communities.

          • I fear the jabbed are all the more resistant to the evidence, because if they were to even begin to admit the truth, they must face their own mortality. Resisting the truth for them, is a matter of life and death…their OWN life and death. In March 2020 I told my friend, “Do NOT take the jab….it causes heart problems!” He took the jab and now suffers chronic heart problems. I’ve yet to find the right moment, to even hint to him that he is vax-injured. I don’t believe he can stand the truth.

            • @RiggleBug

              I appreciate you sharing your perspective and experiences regarding this.

              I have experienced similar regarding this subject matter with direct blood relatives. Since they live in deep denial I choose to do what I can to help them stealthily.

              I have made them spike protein detox medicine plant infused Christmas and Birthday gifts for 2 years now.

              They loved the Cannabis gummies i made them (infused with white pine needle extract) shaped like little Christmas trees for Xmas (I knew they bought the government licenced garbage cannabis products from the stores from their social media and my recipe is a much better quality).

              They loved the hot sauce I made them for this Christmas infused with not only pine needles but Echinacea, Five Flavor berries and Turmeric.

              None of them are dead or suffering from myocarditis yet, though, they are very outdoorsy and active people so I cannot take all the credit, maybe fate or Mother Earth helped them stay alive as well.

              I am sorry to hear about your friend with heart issues.

              Perhaps you could present him or her with meals infused with some of the ingredients I list in the post linked below without them knowing, simultaneously cultivating your creative skills while covertly helping a friend?

              https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/spike-protein-detox-intel-and-foodsherbs

              Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

      • You can certainly attempt to change her mind, but I wouldn’t count on it. Some people will not listen because psychological coping mechanisms are too strong.

        I can understand why health care providers were afraid of Covid though if they worked in areas that had a higher number of cases. This is because it did look different than the flu and some people did get very sick, albeit not affecting healthy people to the degree that was claimed by the MSM.

        So health care providers saw something different than the flu. Patients who were sick presented with severe hypoxia, sometimes people with an oxygen saturation of 50s on room air walking in the door to the ER. And they also presented with blood clots. That is unusual in the flu in my experience with almost 15 years in health care, most of that time in hospitals; People with flu who are hospitalized usually present with oxygen saturations of 80s on room air walking in the door and that is a sick person.

        The sickest Covid patients had lab markers for a massive inflammatory response and acute respiratory distress syndrome and inflammation of lower airways. Flu mostly affects upper airways. Severe flu, mostly type b can also look similar to Covid, but most cases are type a that does not.

        What I observed was a small number of very sick individuals with a presentation I had not seen before. What the MSM did is to trick people to think that that number was greater than it actually was with counting asymptomatic cases as actual cases and they were not.

        People were afraid, even some of the best MDs I had worked with were triggered by persistent and pervasive fear porn on CNN. They trusted the propaganda rather than using their own brain.

        I did get sick twice with “Covid” at least I had a positive test and resulting symptoms albeit not enough to even go to a hospital. But I will also say that the fatigue I had the first time did last longer than than a “normal” flu. I did take Ivermectin and follow the protocol some doctors recommended, vitamin C, Zinc, etc.

        I did even take an aspirin the first time for 5 days.

        After jabs rolled out, people presented with blood clots that resulted in strokes and heart damage but the MSM portrayed this as related to Covid rather than the jabs. An people believed it. This was in part because most health care providers took the jabs and not everyone had side effects from the jabs. So they were filtering information to support their existing bias.

        In short, people pick and choose evidence to support what they already want to believe to keep themselves psychologically safe.

        I can in some sense understand this. The MD you mention may not be able to hear you and you may be wasting your breath. But, not all MDs will be this way and the popular narrative can change people’s minds.

        With all that said, I did see a different disease during the Covid scam and in some cases it was bad. And I was a little nervous when I got sick.

        • cu.h.j
          That is a very well presented antidotal story. Your observations are compelling and thought provoking. In my case it brings back memories many of my experiences going through the process of the COVID experience. The dis- ease I experienced lead me to look elsewhere into related fields of dis-ease causing discoveries. Weaponization. All having outcomes very similar to what you described. More a reaction to an external influence than an internal reaction to a bacteria or viruses.
          As you said” a presentation I have not seen before” .
          Some examples are Black lung, silicosis, radiation poisoning, electrocution, forge disease, Asbestos, severe burns…
          All these are external causes triggering internal storms where the secondary causations does the killing… it’s not a very far leap to directed energy weapons. StarLink is a low hanging fruit, and any previous prototypes would certainly be suspect and held in secret.
          Just a thought.

          • I have not studied directed energy weapons or 5G EMFs enough to conclude this would mimic a contagious disease. My first instinct is no it would not.

            When I’m referring to a contagious disease I mean one that can be transmitted between people. The key word being can, not always.

            Although I have in some depth researched the argument against germ theory (or how people define germ theory now), my observations do influence my opinion.

            With respect to Covid, I knew 4 people who worked with me who became very ill in mid 2020. A doctor who was in his 60s, massive pulmonary embolisms and relatively healthy of normal BMI. A nurse who was obese worked nights, but young, early 30s (went to ICU on a vent). Another obese night shift nurse, late 30s (went to ICU on a vent), and another young nurse, normal body weight who worked nights hospitalized but didn’t go to ICU.

            All of them recovered with the people who were vented took longer, 6 months or greater but returned with no disability. The MD did have lung damage, but this eventually improved with no lasting disability.

            This was prior to the jabs coming out, so this was whatever it was, my opinion being that it was a virus or a pathogen that was most easily transmitted between people who were either older, were obese (greater degrees of inflammation), those with high blood pressure and those with asthma.

            Interestingly enough, tobacco smokers and those who used nicotine were less likely to need hospitalization in my personal observation. I noted less smokers with Covid. This was odd to me, but the explanation sufficed that nicotine binded to a receptor site that blocked entry of the virus.

            I know I may be harpooned by some people who rightly claim lack of hard proof of predictable contagion or viruses. I admit that there probably are other factors going on and viruses are not the sole cause of disease, but my experience working with sick influences my thinking in this regard. Especially working with kids.

            Kids tend to get sick a lot, in general. Often the entire family gets sick too. The simple conclusion is that something is being transmitted. Immunity and “terrain” explain why some people stay healthy. Some of this terrain is individual, genetic, both genomic and also influences from gut bacteria possibly.

            Radiation sickness is not transmitted and it does not appear to be transmitted. Covid did appear to be transmitted. The degree of lethality was greatly exaggerated.

            I could certainly be wrong, but I don’t think I am at this time.

          • My thoughts on external sources like radiation and directed energy weapons (I could be wrong here) is that they are more predictable in what type of damage they cause.

            If two people are irradiated, neither one is walking away without harm and if the dose is high enough, you get the same outcome with extreme predictability of symptoms.

            If directed energy weapons are similar, predictable effects if people are zapped, I conclude that Covid had to be different.

            Because Covid did not have the same predictability in healthy people. I presume if you zap a group of healthy people with DEWs or radiation, they’d all get sick.

            With pathogens some people don’t get sick. Many people didn’t get sick with Covid. Those who did, by and large already had compromised health.

            • cu.h.j
              In response to the two people logic, 20% will definitely get sick, and like COVID 80% was hit and miss.
              That’s interesting. My antidotal story of learning more about biology than the hours of credit I got from class goes like this.
              I got hired to make a 7 foot nutcracker. A new hire scientist came to my little University from Germany where he worked at a bio-lab. Army lab. In our get togethers about the nutcracker work I asked him about his. Genome project. He was slice and dicing the human genome. He gave me a lessen in the human genetics in less than an hour. I remember 20% of the genetic protection could be vulnerable to the toxic universe. Poisons,bacteria and viruses along with Radiation , frequency causing chemical reaction. The 80% had so many ways to protect the life from from the toxic universe that it was hard to overcome. Much Later on I found out the University was hired by HAARP but that research is still a secret so far, nobody will talk about it… I was so young I thought the genetic research was for life extension but know now it was about death.
              On DEW it is like mowing a yard. 100miles at a time to expose the earth from the 23rd parallel to the 40th parallel in what seems to be 20-30 days. I remember some who stated it didn’t follow any known spread models of a pandemic and showed up in many cities all at once. Antidotal , sure. It’s what we don’t know is what kills us.

              • Interesting anecdote. I really don’t know much about DEWs, like almost zero, so I can’t offer an informed opinion about that.

                Hard radiation in high doses on the other hand seem to have predictable effects.

                I remember in 2019 there were people from China in particular who presented to my hospital with a viral pneumonia that didn’t test positive on our flu swabs. We didn’t have the swab for Covid yet so it was an un-characterized viral pneumonia. I think this was in late November, early in the flu season.

                Then in 2020, we got the propaganda campaign and the name “Covid” with the lockdowns and madness.

                My hospital was never overwhelmed with cases in healthy people, by and large, diabetics, elderly, asthmatics, obese, etc were most susceptible. And there were some very sick people with a somewhat new presentation and cluster of symptoms. The major differences being severe hypoxia, blood clotting and massive inflammation in the lower airways.

                Conceivably the people who had been traveling were sources of infection and spread it to people who were immune compromised like those above.

                But even the sickest people where I worked mostly recovered eventually. It was the MSM “look at Italy!!” that caused panic in many people and the response to it made it seem to some like the sky was falling.

                But what I saw and interpreted with my own eyes looked like something that mostly affected people in poor health and should not have caused panic. I was bewildered by the people panicking because I was not.

                So I went outside sanctioned sources of information and that is what made me nervous, that it was a totalitarian take over. And the lockdowns and lies and the tyranny were extremely stressful because I had to keep my job.

                The way people reacted really affected me and I now know that I can’t trust the average person anymore to have sound judgment and people can be dangerous when worked up into a frenzy. I keep most people at a distance, even more now. It sucks. And I resent people who were okay locking people in their homes.

                I recall seeing how people in China were welded into their apartments.

                We cannot allow that to happen in our country.

          • I don’t think what caused whatever it was is the crux of the issue however. It was that the things they were doing that were supposed to help people in fact did not and probably did the exact opposite.

            Common sense stuff like going outside and exercise and socializing with others were being prohibited. The impact on mental health was profound, at least in my case.

            I have yet to recover from the trauma. I know that makes me sound like a wimp. Compared to people who have bombs dropped over head my trauma is minimal in comparison.

            But the effect on my mental health is still there and it was damaging. I’m sure others have similar issues now.

            So what they did to us was downright evil. I don’t care if the sky is falling, no government has a right to prevent loved ones form visiting a dying relative in the hospital. No one has a right to make people stay inside their house, or tell them what to ingest or inject. I am strongly opposed to that.

            And those ethical standards are also part of western medicine. The fact that MDs ignored them should be grounds for discipline IMO.

            • cu.h.j
              I agree completely. The digital id will be administered by MD at some point and those same MDs you point out need disciplined before they become a part of vax-ports and such

        • @cu.h.j

          Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

          I know people that presented with the hypoxic symptoms here locally (they did not trust the PCR tests but I assume they had “covid”, what ever that is).

          One thing that I noticed in the cross section of people I am aware of locally that had those symptoms is that some of them decided not to go to the hospital (as they saw the MDs behaving in a very disturbing cult like fashion, not asking hard questions or researching unprecedented procedures being pushed by government bureaucrats) and some went to trust the industrial medical system.

          Both were having trouble breathing and looking really rough, and it seems to me that more people that went to the hospital with said symptoms (and were subsequently Intubated, put on forced breathing machines and given remdesivir) ended up dying of pneumonia type/cytokine storm symptoms, where as less of the people that stayed home, and went for natural remedies died.

          What are your thoughts on how the medical system applied intubation and remdesivir to massive amounts of people ? Something you think helped some? Or not at all?

          Also, it seems to me those that got really sick from this “covid” condition, based on my observations were people that spend way too much time inside and they have a weak diet (lacking vitamins). These people that had the worst symptoms seemed to be deficient in vitamin D (a condition widespread in today’s ipad glued, endless twitter scrolling couch potato civilisation).

          What are your thoughts on the role of deficiency in essential vitamins, minerals and fresh air and how that could have influenced these people that had severe “covid” symptoms?

          GBW raises an interesting point.

          Had you considered that it does not have to be one or the other (neither 100% due to a “contagious” germ nor 100% due to DEWs, no pun intended).

          What if being baked with low levels of microwave radiation from space, weakened people’s terrain to the point where they were much more susceptible to some genetic code wrapped in a lipid membrane and spike proteins (aka a “virus”) and so they presented with all these crazy symptoms?

          What if that was compounded by people’s deficiency in certain natural stimuli and vitamins?

          Just a thought.

          Ya you might be right about that lady creating a sort of psychological self-protection mechanism. Though it is worth noting that some MDs were on board with the mainstream narrative, did all the procedures and gave the injections, but then they say it was killing people and they stopped, took responsibility for that error and chose to speak the truth.

          Thus, given I am willing to provide evidence to that MD lady and she refuses to even look at it, I would say that she is choosing cowardice in clinging to a set of dogmatic fallacies presented to her by a psychotic government and industrial scale human sacrifice “medical” industry.

          Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

          • I think the people who felt awful and stayed home probably did better. But there’s a difference between feeling awful and not being able to breathe with oxygen saturation in the 50s on room air. Unless someone has access to oxygen supplementation, they will die with that level of hypoxia. And most people feel a “sense of impending doom” and know when they need help most of the time. Some people were just paranoid and anxious and should have stayed home.

            At my hospital, they probably over intubated because there was a viral filter that could be placed at the end of the endotracheal tube. When a filter came out that could be placed on a BiPap machine (mask device) patients had a trial on that first.

            However, I never saw a person who didn’t have severe symptoms be intubated at my hospital, i.e. they had hyoxia and/or an arterial blood gas that showed they were becoming acidic.

            Intubation and mechanical ventilation is not only used for hypoxia, but usually an accompanying abnormal blood gas. As carbon dioxide increases a patient will usually stop compensating and also become lethargic. Usually a bipap machine is trialed as it is less invasive and can sometimes correct the abnormality. Our lungs and respiration help with acid base balance, not only oxygenation.

            What I saw was an indication for intubation or Bi-Pap and doctors went straight to intubation because of the viral filter. They should have gone Bi-Pap first. Since Ivermectin wasn’t approved and Remdisivir was (as an experimental drug-needed a consent form signed), Remdisivir was used. Some people had kidney failure from it at my hospital, at least I treated a few patients with that at another visit.

            I don’t think it should have been used. They had steroids like Decadron they were using that helped even without Ivermectin.

            Low vitamin D is common among city folks, probably contributing. Although I think diabetes, obesity and other inflammatory related diseases promoted cytokine storm.

          • What I meant about staying home was that people who could have stayed home should have. People who were severely hypoxic, with chest pain, dizziness and shortness of breath should have come in. But they should have had access to better treatment, less intubation.

            The MD in NY blew the whistle on the over intubating of patients and I think there was a nurse who said a hospital was intubating people who had no indication for it. Needing supplemental oxygen is not an indication for inbubation. That’s malpractice. If MDs were doing that, they should be sanctioned.

            But I think at first the treatment guidelines were mechanical ventilation as the first go to if there were indicators of respiratory failure. I do recall the viral filter being mentioned at my hospital. That should not have been factored into the equation, but I think it was. A lot of health care providers were terrified and if there was any indication for intubation, they would do it.

            I didn’t give a lot of Remdisivir and know much about it or long term side effects. I know there was a consent form with risks and benefits that patients had to sign.

            As far as intubating people in the US where I worked, patients could refuse it. That’s the standard in the US. If an adult doesn’t want something, they can refuse it and walk out.

            Regarding DEWs I really don’t know much about them. I know they have been used in military operations and at protests (I think), but on random civilians? Maybe. The population that got sick were already in poor health so were susceptible to viral or bacterial infections already. Maybe they used DEWs too, I don’t know. It’s possible.

            The people who I knew who got sick probably got it from other sick people is my guess. It’s a simple explanation. But who knows. I never got the 2020 version. I had “it” in 2022, “Omicron” or whatever. I felt pretty bad, mostly lethargic and bad upper respiratory symptoms. It was fast moving too and pretty nasty to be honest. I was fatigued for a month after.

            • @cu.h.j

              Thanks for elaborating on your views on the industrial allopathic medicine system’s response to the “covid” situation and your perspectives on ideal forms of care for patients.

              Remdisivir and (as we discussed almost 2 years ago: https://corbettreport.com/march-open-thread-2023/#comment-147902 ) Midazolam were given to patients here that were not aware of the severe deleterious impacts of said drugs, and this constituted hospital facilitated murder.

              Consent forms (where they exist) are not always accurate and as we know from the history of Big Pharma fraud, the stated effects of a drug are rarely what nurses and doctors are told they are.

              https://gavinmounsey.substack.com/p/exploring-the-true-nature-of-big

              Regardless of what ever symptoms I would face with a viral infection I would not trust the industrial allopathic medicine system here.

              I have done a couple talks at local preserving groups recently doing workshops about fermented foods and food as medicine and I have had three separate people attending those classes tell me they quit their job as a nurse because of the duplicitous and unethical behavior of their colleagues (and unethical orders given by their bosses).

              One of them told me about how during surgeries where they put patients under general anesthesia some of the staff she worked with would look at the medical history of the patients and check if they were “vaccinated” (with mRNA) and if they were not they would give it to them when they were out without their consent (thinking they were doing their part to help “the stupid anti-vaxers” and “protect the community”).

              If I was hypoxic and presented with the option to stay home and trust God or go to the industrial human sacrifice and big pharma profiteering operations called Hospitals, I would rather turn blue and die gasping then risk have some deluded cult members inject me with genome contaminating pfizer garbage while i`m unconscious myself.

              Thanks for sharing your experiences.

              • We never gave Versed to patients with respiratory issues at my hospital. I know this was done mostly in the UK. I think there was a case of this in the South in the US too. I forget the specifics.

                I think people have to take care of their health and learn about how their how their bodies work and what their rights are if they enter a hospital. Where I’ve worked, autonomy has always been a consideration even among the most brainwashed MDs I’ve worked with. But, I know that others have had vastly different experiences.

                People should always read the fine print on consent forms too.

                Since I work in the ER, I don’t really know what happens to patients once they leave the department. And in the ER people can walk out the door if they want to. I don’t know how it is in Canada.

                As far as turning blue and dying before coming into a hospital goes, people really don’t know what they would do if they’ve never been sick. We can say “I’d do this and that” but until we are in the situation, things can change.

                But, it is wise to look at any medical situation is the patient is the boss and the MD and other staff are there to offer suggestions, provided information and you can choose what you want (most of the time). If you know what treatments are before hand, you have more control.

                I don’t like being a patient either or having to use allopathic medicine, but if I need to have the knowledge to guide my own treatment. I read consent forms, ask for explanations etc.

                I don’t really want to work in hospitals much longer, but pivoting out is challenging if one is used to the bigger paycheck.

                Peace.

                RE: “As far as turning blue and dying before coming into a hospital goes, people really don’t know what they would do if they’ve never been sick.”

                Well, there is truth to that, though, I have done stupid things in my life and had a shattered rib cage with lungs filling with blood, so I do know what it is like to not be able to breath and consider one’s options.

                The medical system here is being re-structured to breed obedience to a dogmatic religious cult surrounding Big Pharma as a savior. I would not trust it further than sowing up a wound I cannot sow up myself (while being able to watch them sow me up).

                The tax money the racketeering operation known as the Canadian government takes from me using the threat of violence pays for that and more, but trusting that system that promotes “Exploring Biodigital Convergence” is foolish for anyone that wants to keep their humanity intact.

                I wish you all the best with your intent to disentangle your life from the Big Pharma Racket.

      “The trajectory of Industrial Civilization, Statism and the inherent totalitarian nature of some tech”

      https://youtu.be/ImbnWSkqfig?si=RRJkbnUdosjdUKYB

      Derrick Jensen discusses how some forms of technology have inherent characteristics in what is required to perpetuate and scale them up.

      (I think in some ways that guy has misanthropic views that I do not share, but this particular clip offers some interesting points I feel are worth serious consideration).

      • I agree that this is a very important concept even if one doesn’t go as far as the speaker takes it.
        I would build on this by pointing out technologies are inherently layered.
        When somebody builds even a simple website there are assumptions made in the many technological choices available, even more so with hardware choices.
        I certainly can’t promise purity but I wholeheartedly agree that this does need to be understood and taken seriously.

      “building your own prison”

      https://youtu.be/mJMO0i-xsbc?si=vCqToXgKv8Zb6JUH

      short clip from a film called “My Dinner With Andre” (1981) where the character describes highly concentrated modern forms of metropolitan human habitation which are mostly devoid of nature (such as New York city) as the “new model for the new concentration camp in which the prisoners have built their own prison, and the inmates are the guards, and they have pride in this thing they have built. And so they exist in a state of schizophrenia where they are both guards and prisoners, and as a result (having been lobotomized) no longer have the capacity to leave the prison they have made, or to even see it as a prison”.

      “How ‘Civilisation’ Has Brainwashed Us All (Lyla June)”

      https://youtu.be/fYVBjgHRmus?si=G3uN-Az09B6xuTTn

      This short video explores the root of the word Civilisation, how that word is weaponized by people with superiority complex delusions and how it has been utilized in pysops to sever our conscious present awareness from acknowledging and honoring our indigenous ancestors (yes European people have those too).

      The etymological root of the word Civilization is derived from the Latin word civilis, which means civil. Other related Latin words are civis, meaning citizen, and civitas, meaning city.

      Since most modern cities are forms of hyper-concentrated human habitation which necessitate taking (or purchasing, though historically it is mostly just taking) resources from far away lands and peoples, this pattern of human habitation requires taxation (government ‘sanctified theft’) in order to fund the extraction of materials that are required to keep the city functioning.

      One of the means that are required for the extraction of said resources involves the use of soldiers (as many people living in the far away rural communities will not want a giant mine, oil well, pipeline and toxic waste dump built in their backyard).

      Thus, Lyla postulates that “civilization” (and the city states that mode of human organization is designed to create and perpetuate) actually instigate the process of making armies, initiating wars of aggression (under the guise of “bringing democracy to Iraq” or some other nonsense propaganda, in order to steal resources).

      What are your thoughts on these videos?

      • This overlaps with a lot of what I read in Prometheus Rising. The author regularly derides most people as “domesticated primates” to explain how their basic drives have been leveraged to serve society. What I would say that this talk emphasizes, but the author left out was how this relates to power. As video #2 points out, this is no mere accident.

        I’ve listened to Denis Rancourt explain how all human systems are downstream of the human dominance hierarchy. That no matter what our political choices, our health will be directly related to our status in that dominance hierarchy. I believe this is what drives much of the defeatism in these discussions. People (correctly) realize that this process is seemingly insurmountable. The goal isn’t to abolish these systems but to lessen their worst abuses. As fruitless as that may seem, I can at least understand the logic.

        This is definitely something I need to wrestle with more, lots of unchallenged assumptions to consider.
        Thanks for sharing these videos and your perspective.

    • Hi Gabriel,

      I have no follow-up question, but want to offer support concerning your weight issue:

      Learn something about the randle cycle. This cycle (which isn’t really a cycle) describes what our cells do when confronted with dietary intake of fats and carbohydrates. To put it in a way too simple nutshell: If you consume both fats and carbs, you will get fat. Cut out either one of those macronutrients out of your diet completely: you will reduce your bodyfat to optimal levels. Without ever going to a gym. Lifting weights helps a lot, no question. But it’s not necessary.

      And cutting out all carbs is the smarter option, as there are many fat-soluble vitamins you would be missing out on, if you were to completely remove all fats from your diet.

      If you want to learn more about the randle cycle, watch any video by Bart Kay. Here are links to just two of his many videos on the subject:

      All the best to you!

    • Hi Gabriel! We were wanting to complement you on your weight loss journey: Impressive stuff man: keep it up 🙂

      On the decentralisation: 2 things. You are correct offcourse and it is easy we don’t NEED that much tech in our lives. It’s a relatively small investment to make to leave some, change some, and get some new for a consumer. Unless one works in media it’s a relatively small sacrifice to use tech in a smarter more private way.

      Same with the checklist for resisting the Digitial ID: If you only do the first one; you will probably already have done a lot.

      I did it with my shopping in 2020-2023: I wanted to decrease the percentage of shopping I got from supermarkets and increase the shopping I got from local butchers and farmers.
      I also paid in cash with those locals: So bang: 2 birds, 1 stond. 50% less dependant on supermarkets, pharma, and digital money.

      that’s how it’s done: small steps and the rewards are enormous.

  3. I keep finding myself asking: how much do all the people who keep warning about digital ID really want to do something about it?

    Why do I ask this?

    It’s because not a lot of people talk about things in terms of basic principles, and things that apply to everyone. It’s always this, that, and the other thing, blah blah. Look man, some people just want to be enslaved and manipulated. They’ll say the opposite until they’re blue in the face, but only because it’s the preprogrammed response.

    So, when it comes to digital ID, what is the one basic principle that all the “enslave me harder, senpai” people can get behind?

    Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

    Personally, that’s what I tell people. Then, I also tell them that I’m going to laugh at them when, just like everything else, basic your life on single point of failure systems causes catastrophic failure in their lives. But then again, I’m an asshole, and I don’t like anyone.

    • I am also an asshole and sadly also think most people want to be told what to do.

      It’s just the way they are, God loves them too but they would rather listen to man, and if they are too stupid or lazy to take even small steps to protect themselves from having advertisers and propagandists puppet them then they won’t make it past the point their masters want them to get to.

      I did not listen to the Andrew Tate thing (imo he is just the white(ish) version of the Black Pimp psy-op of turning the active members of a community into predators on their fellows) but the fact is most people really DO have a slave mindset. Not that I like syphalic creep Nietzsche but he was onto something with master slave mentality.

      • You assholes make me laugh.
        aggh…I’m just being an asshole. 😉

  4. The controllers have systematically, over the past 30 years or so, addicted people to digital tech. It started back when they took away analog TV. Try and watch a few commercials and see how many DON’T have SMART phones and “apps” in them…”For your convenience of course.” Then it was vinyl records to CD’s to Blue Tooth, cuz everyone really needs 2000 songs to listen to :-/

    Everything suddenly had to be “fast” like Quik Marts, Fast Food, Speedy this and that and the such. Seemed innocuous back then but it has been the “death of a 1000 cuts.”

    SMART meters, TV’s. etc. all leading to a digital prison, to track, trace, and data base all they can. You either participate or pull away, no in between. Give your phone to your child to use as a nanny while you shop instead of being a real parent. Don’t read maps, let Google show you the way. It is all so easy isn’t it?

    • Smart stuff to enable a faster way of living that allows one to free up as much time as possible during the day (and well into the night) so that the extra can be wasted on most obnoxious stupid shit.

      • Speaking of what people will believe. A quite bright commenter named “Jack” on The Gateway Pundit put this up. I know it is sorta off topic but IMO exposing the truth should always be on topic. (Lightly Edited for length)

        “We went to the moon and back supposedly 6 times without a hitch in a tinfoil covered prop. Yeah right. It’s incredible what people will believe.

        There’s a case to be made for the ”moon landings” being staged to coincide with a key point in the Vietnam war

        > In May 1969 the full horrors of the war begin to emerge…. The press begins publicizing illegal B-52 carpet bombing of Cambodia, on July 14th..documents explicitly detailing assassination and torture techniques by the CIA’s Phoenix Program.
        Just in time to save the day, Apollo 11 blasts off on July 16…with the entire nation enthralled Vietnam is temporarily forgotten.

        > Just four months later, in Nov 1969, Seymour Hersch publishes a story about the My Lai massacre of 504 civilians (exposing) the full savagery of the war. It’s time for another Moon launch, and Apollo 12 dutifully lifts off on Nov 14, making another picture-perfect lunar landing before returning on Nov 24.

        > All is well again until early 1970 when the war is further escalated as Nixon authorizes an invasion of Cambodia…3 Vietnam vets stage a multi-city press conference in NY, SF and Rome on April 14, to publicize the ongoing Phoenix Program.
        Thus…another Moon launch…with an additional element of danger…to capture public attention. …on April 11 1970, Apollo 13 blasts off, fails to reach the Moon and drifts about for 6 days with the crew in mortal danger!
        Needless to say, the crew make a safe return to Earth. Phew!

        >…1971 brings the trial of Lt. William Calley on the My Lai mass murder… And on Jan 31, Apollo 14 is launched again makes a flawless lunar landing. On Feb 9, Apollo returns, just a few weeks before Calley is convicted of murder.

        > A few months later, the NYT begins publication of the Pentagon Papers. (It’s) quickly followed, on July 26, by the launch of Apollo 15 and another flawless lunar landing.

        > On March 30, 1972, North Vietnam troops mount a massive offensive. Nixon responds with deep penetration bombing of NV and the illegal mining of NV’s ports.
        They also launch, on April 16, another Apollo mission to the Moon.

        > By the end of 1972, a ceasefire is finally looming. In Dec those talks break down – but not before Apollo 17 is launched on Dec 7. A final ruthless carpet bombing campaign against North Vietnam is unleashed.

        Five weeks later a peace agreement is announced officially ending the war. And the Apollo program – despite several other missions having been planned, will never be heard from again.”

        IMO,Think: KAL downing, 9/11, Sandy Hook, etc. and wonder what was really going on.

  5. This might be the most inspiring Corbett Report I have ever seen. Not only is the guy brilliant intellectually, but he has such personal and social insight, beyond his years, I’d submit, and then the passion and compassion… and the weight loss journey, on top of all that?!? Wow. Just wow! Way to, go, Gabriel (if that IS your real name 😉 )! Thank you, James, for putting this guy on my radar. <3

    • Thank you Hamirand! 😊 Your kind words really mean a great deal!

      • My pleasure! Listening to your interview made my morning. 🙂

    • I am so happy to see Gabe interviewed by James. Gabriel is one of the clearest thinkers I’ve ever known. He approaches every topic systematically, with logic and deep knowledge, and draws his conclusions as a step on the path–open to new reasoning.

      I haven’t listened yet because I was too excited to see Gabe here and wanted to respond right away. And hamirand, your comment was so insightful and captured exactly what I’ve expressed over the course of reading and listening to Gabe, and being honored to call him my friend. Your confirmation of my intuition about Gabe warms my heart.

      And Gabe, it’s interesting that this is the article that propelled you to stardom, as being interviewed by James certainly is. I know you felt you hadn’t expressed yourself well because of the backlash you got and the conflict that ensued. As you know, welcome to my world.

      I was thinking this morning that the formula to be really popular can be expressed in four words: “You and me, babe.” We’re smarter, better, more moral people than THEM. The most unpopular position is the three words, “No, we’re not.” In your article, you look at what needs to be done so that everyone can make those decisions. And you’re always consistent in that.

      And it gives me great hope that we’re going to figure that out to see your ideas get this platform and that perceptive readers like hamirand resonate with your brilliance and compassionate insight, beyond your years.

      • Good to see your comment! Thank you Terez!
        I would love to see an environment where that “winning formula” is replaced with a less toxic meta.
        It’s possible that this is the inherent human condition, but I hold out hope that some of the decentralized social media attempts can show a different path.
        I wonder if the problem is that it’s intuitively hard to think of “how to fight bullies, without being/turning into a bully”.
        I still can’t really say I’ve figured that one out, but I hope to someday!

        Have I really hit stardom? 🫣 I’m not ready!

    • hamirand,
      I loved your comment!

    I agree with hamirand, a truly inspiring video.
    Thank you Gabriel for sharing so much with the world!
    So many important points made, and on so many different aspects of what we are dealing with.

    Having compassion and being open to other’s learning journey is huge.
    And support can take many different shapes.
    I am personally on a path to learning more about all things open source so I can try to jump ship from all of the big tech players, but the open source world is brutal. I am really struggling to find good resources (because I do not have 20yrs+ to master the stuff) and for all the veterans out there, you do not know what gold you are sitting on. There is thirst for this knowledge out there and, even if it is open source there is room to create and grow new businesses in this space.
    To Gabriel’s point, not to exploit people, but supporting one other financially or otherwise can be a really great way to share skillsets and expand their reach.

    Small steps and one foot in front of the other is how we move forward.
    Thank you so much for this much needed inspiration and keep up the great work!

    • Switched to Linux yt and odysee Chanel’s used to be pretty good for distro reviews and he has some good things on how to make the switch to Linux.

      Bryan lunduke used to have lots of fun little shows on YT about different open source programs.

      Both of them have moved away from that content these days and cover more news and such but their back catalogue is probably still out there.

      What do you think is brutal about the open source world (other than the political stuff they have going on?) I think a windows user can go right into Linux Mint without any big issue- the only thing that is super weird is that all your files are in the “Home” directory which is not the top directory like C windows.

      Alternatives to the apps you use are good to find if you type the app you want to replace into the search bar on
      https://alternativeto.net/ but there are other sites that also compare and find alternatives.

      I never messed with running windows apps on Linux in WINE, but some people do.

      The best start IMO is to buy a raspberry pi single board computer and play with it a bit, they have a lot off OS options and installing them is shown in youtube….then get an old thinkpad laptop and install Linux Mint on it and play with that before nuking your main system.

      I think the big thing for most people is they never installed an Operating Sytem themselves, but old laptops are so cheap now you can play with one for a bit before killing windows…..I will never buy a MacBook again, though since one I got did amazingly weird things on Linux and killed three hard drives for no reason I can understand.

      Keep playing, 😉 that’s the secret to getting decent at anything

      • Thank you for all the pointers. Will start digging further.

        Yes, I have been playing around with old laptops and raspberry pi…

        The brutal part is that most open source-ers are super cryptic so when you ask a question you first have to decipher what the instructions are before you can even follow the steps.
        Not all are patient with questions ; )

        In a way they are pushing the best out of people, when it comes to empowerment, as you are expected to do a lot of research, like they have all done before us.

        This is helpful. I just need to set more time aside to meet goals.

        I was not aware that there are ways to run windows software onto Linux. There is one piece of software that I am enslaved to and it will require quite a good investment of time to learn the alternate, which is Blender BIM.

        Thank you!

        • If you need it for work you could just have a work pc and then isolate all your personal stuff on a linux box. That would mean you have a private machine and a work machine. It’s a lot more secure and private to run two machines and your mission critical stuff will be on something your not going to have to tinker with

          Blender can be installed on Linux….i don’t know if you can just install the BIM add on but if you try it on a Linux machine you will know:) (I think it’s just an add on acc to my very cursory reading)

          https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/getting_started/installing/linux.html

          Honestly though if it’s work related I’d suggest just having a work and a “me” machine, which is always the best policy IMO.

          The Linux machine can be way lower spec because Linux runs faster. If you actually want to BUY a linux laptop and make sure it’s top of the line you can always order one from system76….they are super nice high quality machines that run the PoP OS desktop they make themselves….. it’s a bit Mac like imo but the machine arrives read to run (if you have the money to buy one, lol)

          1300 for the base model but you can upgrade to insane specs if you like

          https://system76.com/laptops/pang15/configure

          • Thank you!
            Yes, that is a good policy to have.
            I have installed blenderBIM and started to play with it. Seems pretty straight forward to begin with. There are just a lot of specifics to fine once you start down that hole.

            I appreciate the feedback.

          • Duck,

            I agree with so many things you discuss, but not regarding System76. I bought one of their high-end Thelio Mira desktop computers about two years ago. I have had nothing but problems with it, and their support has been horrendous. The last ticket I opened, I had to uninstall, reinstall Many times Pop_OS!, which never worked right. So I installed Ubuntu, which took a month worth of tweaking to get error free.

            Presently, their BIOS updater on my system will not work. So they want me to kludge, using tons of undocumented steps, using test files, to manually update BIOS and firmware. They do not guarantee that following the archaic steps will work. Frankly, I have ZERO desire to rebuild the system from scratch if anything goes wrong. And after 35 years as a senior Windows engineer and four flawless Linux Mint systems in my fold, I KNOW how kludges like they are telling me to do can destroy a system. This is my opinion and my experience.

            • I personally would not trust any automatic BIOS updater I always perform them “manually”. That is, fetch the BIOS file, unpack the archive, place the file onto a USB drive (typically FAT32 is the way to go) and boot into MOBO firmware. There’s typically a menu over there that will allow you to browse the stick drive and select the BIOS file you would like to flash. This is the only proper way to do this, as far as I’m concerned.

              Not so long ago, BIOS updates were seldom available, motherboards would get a few and updates were only recommended if one was having problems. Oh, how things have changed. I understand the reality of the situation; AMDs introduces a new platform and stays with it for a decade, so obviously updates to enable support for new hardware are going to be needed. The trouble is MOBO manufacturers seem to take this opportunity to introduce sloppiness into their process.

              Granted, I don’t know what kind of custom hardware System76 is using or any wizardry that has gone into putting that thing together. The very brief amount of time I have spent checking out their hardware offers was sufficient for me to understand it was quite too expensive for my purposes.

              • Thanks for responding, mkey… System76 hardware is Completely proprietary, and they do not offer BIOS and firmware updates as simple files. The steps require installing yet another of their experimental updaters that is supposed to flash the BIOS. Updating the firmware is yet another convoluted process. I was a senior Windows system engineer for many years (not proud to say, now); but what they propose as a ‘solution’ is a huge accident waiting to happen. I don’t have the time to deal with this at all. I will return the damn thing and let them deal with it, on their dime, because they said their updater should work.

                I have 3 Linux Mint computers that have had Zero problems for many years. This is the last time I will buy such a proprietary system. It wouldn’t even take Ubuntu Studio or Kubuntu, though their sales people said it could install any flavor.

              • What does it mean that it “wouldn’t take” any other distro? At which step of the process does it do something unexpected.

                My experience with extremely messed up (but still functioning) motherboards is limited to one MSI AM4 MOBO I had ordered from mindfactory as MAX version (that is upgraded to max BIOS version and compatible with all current CPUs). To this day I don’t know what’s happening with that board as it’s very difficult to get into firmware settings and booting from any device but the internal SSD is very unlikely and requires repetition of same steps until they start doing what you want them to do (i.e. insanity). It’s possible that an incorrect BIOS was somehow flashed on it. I should have returned the damned thing, but it has been working now for many years.

                It sounds like you may have hardware with similar disposition on your hands.

            • Sorry to hear that about sustem76….. I have an offline machine running an old version of pop but the last time I installed a new version on an internet machine it was getting a bit slow….. not as bad as windows but not as good as it was…I found the same with Ubuntu tbh (I loved the version with Unity and think LMDE works best on a potato like i tend to run.

              pop is kinda nice for Mac types in my experience people who use Mac like it better. I am also thinking that Linux is going to go down the pan soon…. It got too much “Love” from Microsoft and other big companies, lol, maybe the unconsensual kind imo.

              Thats why I keep one machine offline and have ISOs stored….. even if I can’t update I will always be able to run something off line.

              • Great ideas, Duck, thank you. Pop was SO error-prone on this computer as well as slow as molasses. I was trying to turn it into a recording studio but it wouldn’t take any flavor of Linux beyond System76’s proprietary Ubuntu. I tried many times to install Ubuntu Studio, Kubuntu, and even Mint, to no avail. I think I got a LEMON from the start.

                I hope you’re wrong about Linux, but I sense that you are right about it being co-opted by big-tech. I’m going to follow your lead and make some ISOs.

        • A part of the linux community are sons of bitches. But there are people like that all over the place, pretentious gaslighters who like to build their ego by mystifying their craft.

          • Yes, I did run into some of that.
            And there are many who are eager to be helpful as well.
            It is just a bit more complex sphere to navigate.
            A lot of time required, for sure

            • Always be trying something new, check out some yet unexplored angles. This evening I decided to give PopOs a spin. Whilr it’s very nvidia friendly, Gnome is not my cup of tea. But I’ll have to give it a chance.

              My main OS currently is LMDE (debian under the hood) and I like the extra stability, but hardware support is being kept way way back. There is always a tradeoff.

              If PopOS doesn’t work out, I’ll give MX AHS (unstable debian base) a spin. So many distros, so little time.

              • Yes, indeed,
                Thank you!

              • I love Linux mint Debian edition… I have my offline machine running and out of date version of Pop which works ok but the last time I used it it was kinda slow on my hardware compared to LMDE… I don’t know if they still base it off Ubuntu but that’s gotten super slow these last couple of years. I do like the look but I am with you on not loving gnome these days if I need to use a lot of programs at once

    • This is an excellent, detailed wiki maintained by Louis Rossmann. It has a lot of stuff in it, you may find some of the sections very fitting to your needs.
      https://wiki.futo.org/wiki/

      BTW Louis is like a James Corbett of IT. He’s among the very few authentic guys left on youboob.

      • Thank you!
        I will start digging deeper into this!

    • It seems like you’ve already been given quite a few resources but I will say it’s something that’s near at heart to me. The founder of FUTO put it really well when he said us “techies” have a tendency to quit when the ‘solution’ is good enough for us to use, but not ready for the public yet. I’m quite guilty of this myself because my curiosity drives me to look for novel new ideas. But I do see how things are getting better.

      Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!

      • Hi Gabriel,
        I believe that also stems from the desire to follow one’s curiosity and genius, rather than perfecting and polishing something, which might seem superfluous if it is already working.
        I can be guilty of that myself and I can totally relate.

        I look forward to tap into all your links and see what more I can figure out.
        Keep up the good work!

  7. Completely unrelated to the topic at hand, but I really wanted to share this with denizens over here:

    I was reading up on WWII a bit, on various events and what not. Especially about the partizan guerilla warfare. And the a fella waltzes in and says, do you know how “partizan” reads backwards? Well, “nazi trap” of course. Mind blown. Whoever coined the term really got people going, didn’t they?

    • Wow!!! My fellow word decipherers are going to love that! Thank you mkey. I think there’s also a relationship to AshkeNazi but that’s another story.

      • Have fun. Have you heard about the word “nazi” itself? It essentially reads the same as “not see”, however that’s something that is capable of completely eluding the mind for many decades. I have likely lived with the term for at least 30 years without realizing (that’s another headscratcher, “realize”) this, and that only after having it pointed out to me.

        • Oh, really interesting, mkey. The lack of vowels in ancient Hebrew make nz the reverse of zn also, and I know I don’t need to translate that. The national socialist never called themselves Nazis, but I’m sure you knew that. How do you decipher realize? To make real?

          There’s no question that language was one of the first things to be usurped. In this one, I quote from ancient Egyptian demonology that, if you can be tricked into saying a lie, a demon snags your tongue: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/maga-the-crocodile-demon.

          I’ve also been on a deep excavation into the world wars, which James started me down: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/corbett-unz-and-wwii-the-unnecessary.

          This episode has been getting a resurgence, which links the arc of the trajectory: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/my-hitler-journey. Thanks for the response!

          • Nobody calls themselves a turd, so no surprise there.

            Realize -> real eyes, to see with real eyes.

            NAZI, NZ, ZN, ZION. I’m sure this is all just a coincidence. There are other interesting combinations – GOOD, GOD, GD or BAAL, BILL, BL. Ah, what games we play, what webs we weave.

            Thanks for that WWII article and the refresher; I have went through American Pravda many times and always end up finding new gems in it.

        • I was surprised to find that the word nazi was basically the German version of “magaTard” and no Nazi probably ever called themselves that.

  8. Gabriel
    You are very comfortable in front of the camera talking of these heuristic ideals . You are comfortable in your own skin and that’s beneficial when exposing the camouflaged message the “opposition” puts out as propaganda. One that has been a bugaboo for me is money. Commerce, and it’s ill effects and regulating control it has on free flowing ideas. How do you view monies in your je ne sais quoi? The choke points of money in this? The chamber of commerce effect of money in movements , associations and actions of groups outside the status quo? You can do this but how too with out money?

    • I’ll look forward to Gabe’s answer and also give mine. I think that a decentralized community-based economy is the key to sovereignty. When it comes down to it, they always have us by the cojones otherwise. Everything that James and Gabe are talking about would be–not a sacrifice but a pleasure–if we owned our own labor.

      My book, How to Dismantle an Empire (which Gabe is reading) goes into anthropology, colonial history, geopolitics and economics to show why it can’t be ‘fixed’ without changing the system. I then use metaphor to re-imagine how we want money to work. And the final section outlines a solution of commonwealth banks, capitalized by the Social Security trust fund (issued as three $1T coins through seigniorage) with the exclusive right to issue both mortgages and the credit to repay them as monthly dividends to commoners: https://www.amazon.com/How-Dismantle-Empire-2020-Vision/dp/1733347607.

      In a recent piece, I used Gabe’s well-informed concerns about Bitcoin and showed how my system would resolve those issues: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/bitcoin-vs-the-caret. In response, Mathew Crawford wrote a parody piece saying I was mentally ill, to which I answered here: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/mathew-crawford-and-digital-god. I’d be happy to have your thoughts on it!

      • terez,
        Thank you ,I can’t wait to dig in . I never knew how thick that propaganda from the money masters was until I began to chip it away from myself. Only to realize it’s just as thick on thems without their even noticing…alas a huge generalization but try pinning someone to divulge what they really know about money.. It’s fascinating to me how rare people talk about how money affects them, to the point of paralysis trying to put in words . Not as an academic abstraction but in plain colloquial words. It’s almost an entity . One that deserves a name and a changing.
        On the side here, Is your book a Library book? If so, I’ll have a second title to add to my inter- library loan requests. Also taking the liberty of asking the head librarian to order a book for the shelf. Then donate one just to challenge their bureaucratic hypocrisy. Yes money has that kind of effect. Not all librarians are soulless and do spend the tax money with wild abandon. Let’s hope Mayes County, Rogers County and Tulsa County has the gumption. Also the University of Tulsa , Rogers State and Northeastern in Talhequah.

  10. RE: How to REALLY Resist Digital ID – #SolutionsWatch

    The insights and humanity expressed during this interview warmed my heart!
    I am so glad that Corbett interviewed Gabriel.

    Many concepts caught my interest.
    One important idea to note is what Gabriel said at the 40:47 mark:
    “It’s important to recognize that there are people who are kind of preying on people who want to make a difference one way or another.”

    Gabriel is a the top of this comment thread
    https://corbettreport.com/how-to-really-resist-digital-id/#comment-173219
    and Gabriel says with a smile,
    “Hello fellow Corbett Report subscribers!
    Gabriel here, happy to answer any follow-up questions!”

    • Thank you HomeRemedySupply!
      That idea is something that I learned relatively recently, and it’s a hard thing to tackle.
      One can call out nonsense…but that task never ends.
      It’s very much something I’m still trying to understand better!

  11. Decentralizing food production, cultivating low tech skills and blending one’s life with the forest (living in the woods) is not synonymous with crazy guys bombing things or being anti-social or non-contributing to a local community.

    Technology is not inherently evil, but some technology necessitates and encourages totalitarian centralized systems.

    There is a way to find a balance which embraces both choices increasingly aligned with moral integrity and applying technology in our lives in a way that fosters our innate God given gifts to blossom to be in better service of life and increase our joy and fulfilment.

    One of the most stable, resilient and anti-fragile expressions of balance in one’s relationship to community, is one which does not limit one’s definition of fellow community members to humans.

    • Technology lets you do more of what you want to do.

      The issues are thus

      A) many people like to do bad stuff

      B)people are lazy and don’t bother thinking long term about what they’re doing and the long term results

      C) it requires a System to operate and maintain and people tend to become parts of that system and thus loose self determination

      Thus IMO technology DOES promote totalitarianism or at least tend to.
      “Uncle Ted” was crazy, but he was not actually WRONG in most of his analysis. I don’t think he saw history as cyclical, which is a fortunate thing in that when we make complex systems they tend to fall over actually while which is lucky.

      We can’t just DUMP tech either because then were the Stone Age savages vs the maxim gun (“whatever happens we have got the maxim
      Gun and they do not”)

      • @Duck

        Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

        I have never read the Ted Kaczynski
        “manifesto” referenced but from what people say about it I wonder if some kind of thought experiment that would involve getting people that have never heard of him to read it and share what they think would be worth while.

        Like maybe some super off grid Amish people or hardcore no – low tech Ainu people from Japan / Russia or some people that were homeschooled but never allowed to watch news or read history books that mention Ted.

        I wonder what a non-biased analysis of his ideas would look like.

        What do you think? Would people that have never heard of his life story and actions be more inclined to agree with his “manifesto” ?

        • Low tech people living outside “the system” would probably not think much about what he says because their society and experience would be from outside the system of industrial society. It would be like us reading a contemporary analysis of Athenian democracy, interesting but not applicable.

          As to his life story and regular folks I don’t think his game has actually done him any favors. The kind of person that gets excited about blowing people up doesn’t probably care much about the reason, just finding a justification that sounds cool.

          The manefsto (not read his updated work since he lived a long while after and still wrote) is a pretty good analysis that stand on its own merits IMO.

          He falls down with his solutions IMO, in that the competitive edge technology gives will always cause it to be reinvented even if industrial society collapses totally…. In a lot of ways his analysis of how society homogenizes people is actually about the drive ton technocracy and the corrosive Liberal world Order of the post Cold War period. He gives a pop psychological profile of “leftish” thinking that is actually pretty descriptive and predicts the woke without realizing it.

          He was a nut, in that I think he just likes doing bad things, but he was not stupid. I also think he chose his actions (rather than satisfying his urges via serial killing) to get published…. lol had he waited a bit he would have been a famous blogger. He probably would have done something nasty on the side in that case.

          So my opinion is that his ideas stand on their own and some would convince any honest reader of the nature of industrial society. He just fell down trying to find a solution to an insoluble problem.

          Seriously you should read and consider what he says, take the true and dump the fluff. It’s a super short read

          • @Duck

            Thanks for the response(s).

            RE : “you should read and consider what he says, take the true and dump the fluff.”

            I am down with separating the wheat from the chaff, gathering empowering truths from sources that also contain untruths and/or non-compassion based ideas, leaving behind that which is not ethical and using that which can uplift, heal, bring clarity and help heal communities from such sources.

            This does however seem like a sort of contradictory suggestion compared to what you have said to me in other threads.

            For instance, I suggested planting groves of long lived medicine trees around clean water sources, to create “sacred groves” as those in Gaelic society (and other peoples globally) did in pre-statist times, and to use those spaces for gathering to pray, meditate, do ceremonies to honor the Earth and celebrate sacred connections/moments (such as people getting married or a child being born) and you told me about how I cannot just take part of what the Druids did and leave behind the supposed animal/human sacrifice ceremonies that some engaged in such places.

            I look to my ancestors for time tested empowering truths and techniques that build anti-fragile communities (composed of humans and non-human beings) and I “dump the fluff”, that is what my work to create Bio-cultural Refugia here in Ontario is all about.

            To me, this is the same thing you suggest I should do with Ted’s manifesto above, yet you do not approve of one, and suggest I engage in the other. Why is that?

            Thanks for the candid comments.

            • I think you Misunderstand the difference between intellectual study and living in a culture if you compare the two…. Which is exactly why I said it’s a LARP to play at being something your not in that it’s in your head and not your heart.

              For example I can read what it was like to be a solder under napoleon and I may even understand what it was like….. but I will never BE one…likewise I can study the ideas of Hitler or Marx without becoming Hitler or Marx

              Also tbh if you put “non compassion based ideas” in the same category as “untrue” you are reasoning from faulty priors….just as the search for truth MAY be “empowering “ it may actually show you have no power over a thing.

              You risk getting yourself into magical thinking like that. Truth exists outside and independent of our desires

              • @Duck

                Thanks for clarifying your views on that.

                “Truth exists outside and independent of our desires” indeed.

                I will take that a step further and say

                Truth exists outside and independent of our desires (and it is expressed in its most potent form within the architecture and relationships present within a functioning climax ecosystem such as an old growth forest. That is why the Druids sought to learn directly from that distilled truth and expression of the Creator and form their culture around in honor of that truth).

                For more historical context on the actual history of the druids from someone that was actually trained in their practices as a direct bloodline descendant of the Brehon and by the last remaining living practitioners that came from that ancient line in Ireland, watch:

                https://rumble.com/v6g1edv-what-is-a-druid-and-who-were-the-brehons-ancient-indigenous-gaelic-culture.html?e9s=src_v1_upp

                What those people did in studying their trade for 17 years before they could become a physician, herbalist, poet or lawman is something that flows in my veins.

                The living cultural peak expression of that society may have been severely hindered by Roman invasion and the subsequent oppression of the Church, but, as Dana points out in the video above, it is a knowledge path and cultural expression that is undergoing revival in several ways.

                I am part of that revival and whether or not some in ancient times engaged in violent expressions of their worldviews does not mean I have to do so now, thus, I will separate the wheat from the chaff and move forward with a harvest of truth which heals, is compassion grounded, inspires community resilience and encourages humility.

            • I think your definition of truth is a bit weird but really it’s the least of your troubles with reality if you think this woman can trace her Druidic blood line to the 5th century…..

              Lololol I believe her as much as I do Alex Saunders or Garderian witches and their made up religion. You don’t actually believe that stuff actually has a lineage do you???

              I literally had to stop because I was laughing so hard. If you REALLY believe this New Ager crazy lady has a bloodline directly to 5th century Druids then I congratulate you on truly embodying the American spirit of history.

              I am by no means an expert but all the Druids I’ve read about were MEN so her covern if 80 year olds women is a bit odd….

              Seriously if you look like you know your stuff on woods lore and such but if you swallow stuff like this as actual history I am just gonna LMAO at you….

              I will listen to the rest of the crazy lady now so let me know if you want a full comment on her….or not, I don’t care that much either way

              • @Duck

                When you jump to being derisive (especially with regards to a renowned author such as Diana Beresford-Kroeger) simply because you have accepted a fallacious dogmatic belief system that portrays the Brehon and the Druids in a certain way, you show me that discussing this with you further is a waste of time.

                Stories told in the soil and carved into stone are more reliable sources of truth than any written form of history, I have learned to read both of those so whether or not you are willing to consider the version of history you were taught could be skewed is of no importance to me.

                I am not sure if you are referring to Diana or Dana, but we might as well just call it quits now and save each other the wasted time typing in circles.

                thanks anyways though

            • Ok I even listened ti the rest- I had missed out on the link between Gardnerian Wicca and Druids but the less crazy lady mentioned it re the wheel of the year.

              “….cultural expression that is undergoing revival in several ways…..”

              No, it’s undergoing CREATION by LARPers….. or in the case of Wicca and Druidism creation by Occultist perverts wiyh the Larp being done by the people who think they follow “ye olde ways…”

              Basically it’s a religious version of a Ren Faire.

              “…I am part of that revival and whether….”

              No you’re NOT because it’s not a revival, it’s made up of whole cloth.

              I can dress up as a knight at a renfaire but I don’t really become a knight, though in that case I at least have real historical records I can learn an approximation of European Martial arts from.

              Even the 2nd (less crazy) lady said it out loud and clear in the video you linked……it’s all made up by bored moderns and it’s as real as Marie Anttenetts Milk Maids.

              Seriously I respect your skills in ecology but this sloppy thinking is not going to succeed against your enemy

            • “….Stories told in the soil and carved into stone are more reliable sources of truth than any written form of history,….”

              WTF does that actually MEAN aim practice????

              It means you can make up any BS you like and call it true.

              The ultimate post-modernism TBH….sorry but you actually need to have at least SOME evidence to convince me something actually happened.

              As to crazy lady one…. While she may be a fine botanist who exactly is she. “Renowned” with????? Historical societies? Bonanists? Or hipster magick druids?

              Dr Fauchi is also held in high renowned by some, but I think he spits rubbish too

              1) she gets taught Druidic wisdom by a covern of old women….. what happened? Did they forget to make any apprentices in the interim???? Does she alone posses this “special knowledge” ?? (Is it in the room with us now?)

              2) she knows her family pedigree back to the 5th century…? And all these druids get distilled down to ONE old lady…. But surly she has some other evidence of how a male run religion got distilled down to the olde ladies that taught her??? She has some record? Or artifact?

              Or is she just a deluded liar like Alex Saunders?

              Sorry but ‘it’s true because I want to think it is’ is the most self indulgent, rich ,post modern attitude I can think of.

              • @Duck

                Soil microscopy, geology and archeology are pretty strait forward pathways for being able to read the soil and the stone.

                Ogham carved into stone is also relatively easy to read once you learn the basics.

                I am not interested in continuing talking to you about this as you are in trolling mode and feeding into that never went anywhere worthwhile.

                Have a great night Duck.

            • G
              Unless you have some knowledge of soil and archeology I am not in possession of I am rather sure that neither of them give much information on the Druid’s….. even the bog man who was allegedly a sacrificial victim and high ranking Druid does not give us any deep insight into the religious beliefs of Druid… the Second Lady on the vid you linked said as much herself when she stated how random the beliefs of “Druids” are today… some even being “Christian” druids.

              As for inscriptions, I know of none that lay out the practice or theology of the Druids…. I would hazard a guess the closest to linear survival they have is the basques…. Even then I doubt much survives. Even if Graves was right and ogham was derived from a pre-aryan Europe (I used to like his work but like Murray European witch cult it turned out to be wrong) there ARE NO WRITTEN ACCOUNTS OF DRUID BELIEFS OR PRACTICES in ogham that I know of…. If you know if some I will welcome correction.

              While I must apologize for my rather grumpy commenting style earlier i stand by what I said.

              I mean, wasn’t Winston Churchill also a “Druid” ? It’s made up by pervert rich people playing with the Occult…. Just like Wicca is probably Crowlian

              • @Duck

                The fact that my discussing pre-christian (non-statist) horticulturally, educationally and socially advanced cultures such as the Gaels of Albion and Éire has aroused such a lively attempt to discredit, dismiss and attack the moral integrity, legitimacy of historical records and other evidence pertaining to said cultures says to me this has struck a nerve with you.

                This usually tells me I am dealing with subject matter that is worth exploring further and sharing more widely as when people respond so robustly and passionately as you have (whether in a positive or negative way) this says to me the topic is offering a lot of potential for growth.

                Your comments remind me of when the scamdemic thought police were really aggressively cracking down on “wrong think” online and I would post something about pine needle tea on social media and get all these “fact checking” entities censoring me and putting their hilarious little propaganda information boxes over top of my picture of pine needle tea. This indicated to me I was on an important path, and thus I perservered.

                I will do the same now with your fact checking.

                Thanks for that Duck, have a nice day.

            • G

              lol dude if you think that some guy in the internet LOLing at your LARP makes your LARP more true uou really ought to enjoy some reading on Cult thinking….. I am honored to be the external evil figure for uour self hypnosis cult, when you all imbue Kool Aid be sure to mention me on the recordings!

              Lol,

              The fact that you have bypassed every point of argument does not worry me, because I enjoy the fact that the world is filled with kooks.

              Peace.

              • Peace to you as well Duck.

    • I agree with much of what you wrote there.
      I was imprecise when it comes to the difference between aiming for solitude and aiming for nature, which doesn’t always have to overlap.
      It is an important distinction!
      I’ll be going through your other replies, but I feel I’m very much in alignment with what you’re pointing out here.
      To go further, it’s good to remember all the ways in which we use technology (deliberately, or by accident) to distance ourselves from real connections with others.

      • @Gabriel

        Thanks for elaborating and sharing your thoughts on my comment(s).

        My wife and I are looking at properties up your way (attempting to simultaneously account for the flow of watersheds relative to the lithium mines that are set to be carved into the earth north of Ottawa soon as they will poison the ground water in large areas surrounding) so perhaps we will have an opportunity to form a “real connection” in the future without technological mediation.

        On a somewhat random side note, are you familiar with the work of Diana Beresford-Kroeger? She lives up near you and has a medicinal tree refugium (an arboretum of rare trees that can feed and heal people) which I plan to visit sometime this year (I have some seeds for a rare tree she is looking to breed called the Kingnut).

        I have some seeds for trees that grow well where you are and can produce food and medicine if you have a spot to plant them and are interested I am willing to share the abundance.

  12. “The Palestinians would love to leave Gaza”.

    • Rex,
      Gaza is Hoverville now. Who wouldn’t want to leave? Bibi is such a jew. No offense to Jews , he hates them too… He wants the USA to cough up the gas money to ship ’em all back to Oklahoma.

  13. Great interview! Gabriel, I hope this comment isn’t taken the wrong way, but your mic is picking up a lot of unpleasant “mouth sounds.” If you have a tendency to build a lot of saliva when you speak, I would suggest drinking a good deal of water before a broadcast, and positioning your mic above your mouth and just off to the side, while still keeping it pointed at your mouth.

    • Not much of an audio phile but do you think a pop filter would do the trick?

      • Pop filters can soften plosives, but unfortunately do nothing for the *squishier* mouth sounds.

    • No offense taken!
      I’m new at this with very much a shoe-string budget. So I appreciate the feedback!

  14. Interesting interview. Thanks. Plant based whole food has helped me have healthier body. Good book is How not to age Dr Michael Greger. https://nutritionfacts.org/

  15. What a wonderful young man!!!!!!! thank you for introducing us to him. Gabriel, I look forward to reading your materials and may you continue to be a strong and positive force in this world

  16. Gabriel Rocks!!! he is so inspiring with the weight loss as well as his brilliant tech mnd and solutions!

    You go baby! I wish i could send the talk to my neice who has been struggling with obesity since childhood, but no can do…

  17. In one of his personal podcasts, he said something along the lines of “if you can’t resist a hamburger, how are you going to resist tyranny?”

  18. pfff some of you write book in these comment sections!! keep it down to 150 words or s’ing please.

    that said: My 2 cents is always that the links in the podcast notes are often THE most valuable part of these publications.

    see? short& sweet 🙂

  19. Thank you so much for this thoughtful discussion. Very pertinent and useful. Something obliquely touched upon that I feel is of great significance personally speaking, is the relationship between reneging from the system and material resource….. which I guess is a fancy way of saying that doing all the things is very much harder if one is poor. I do think this is more widely important, though – as becoming establishment independent should not have to be the creative preserve of a clique who can afford the stuff necessary, even if these good people insist that their wealth and ability came once they committed to this or that course of action that absolutely anyone can take. I speak from direct experience that things are not always so simple and such “encouragements” can be really discouraging.
    By concrete example, we would love to go all homestead, off grid, grow all the food, live simply and take care of ourselves ideally within a wider community that can look out for each other. Yet we would need a huge amount of material resource to achieve that (we rent property as it is as we have too low an income to get a mortgage, and are in the UK, so weather protection and food supply are of concern). We cannot buy land, even if we could afford rudimentary materials and planning permissions to begin on any type of build. My husband works very full time as it is and I am full time at home with children. So in this particular project we are kind of trapped, however gung ho, creative or willing we are. We have many abilities and dreams – but that actually isn’t always enough, once one is already trapped within the systems – such as having to pay rent every month and not being able to save or divert money anywhere else. We have no friends with a situation where we could “rough it for free” whilst saving – we are in our forties with many young children and have few connections. So small wins really do make the difference for people like us. That’s what I have taken from this episode. Without being readily able to do the big things we dream of, one can end up feeling totally disempowered and as if there’s nothing you can do. I experience this. And this is the power of the governments and statists who keep us all in the evil status quo. But there are things. I have started trying to grow just a little food here and there (thank you, Gavin!). I can take out a bit of cash to keep in the house and use it at smaller local shops for a few regular items we need. I can read real books and try to learn and hone real life skills and crafts like sewing and mending, making bread (and avoiding the upf shop bought stuff), and look for community and like minded people where these can be found, even if in small ways.
