SPEAKER_00 0:00

What's up, you guys? Welcome to The Imagination. I'm your host, Semma, and today I will be doing a solo episode. I like to do these periodically to catch up with you guys to announce any updates. I am so grateful for all of you. You guys are the most amazing community on the internet, and I cannot stress that enough. I cannot tell you guys the amount of times that I get outreach from my guests saying how wonderful you guys are, that you guys reach out to them, that they saw a surge in book sales, that you guys reached out to them or followed them on Instagram or social media, connected with them andor sent them emails, being very uplifting and encouraging, wanting to connect. You know, it's so neat how something like this is bringing us together. And of course, my podcast is not the only one helping to do that. But just across the world, across the country, across the internet, it's amazing seeing that happen. It's amazing seeing other survivors connect, corroborate through testimony. It's amazing that we're able to corroborate, period. You know, that's probably one of the biggest and hardest things about topics like this are the overwhelming amount of people who demand proof and evidence and hard evidence. And something like this podcast and others like it are helping to redefine what evidence and proof means and showing how we can develop an entirely different type of evidence and proof using testimony across time, across borders, across generations, across languages, and how we can compare and contrast all of the similarities of testimonies, all of the names that come up over and over and over again, the locations that keep popping up over and over again, the forms and types of abuse, the dates that it takes place. I mean, the list just goes on and on. I actually have a whole list myself I should share some time and build on about that. But those of you who listen as members here, as listeners, as subscribers, thank you. And I know that a lot of you can also see that over the course of time and finding all the similarities and the ways that ritual abuse, mind control, and organized abuse survivor testimonies create an evidenced database of themselves just through speaking, which is exactly what the enemy never wanted. And it shows even more why they have and still want to silence survivors because every single voice contributes a puzzle piece to the greater whole, to a giant puzzle, and their testimonies become the evidence that they were never supposed to have, you know, and it's really special, it's special on every single level, you know, but it really does defy the brainwashing that has gone on on TV and in movies about what evidence needs and has to be in order for something to be quote unquote true, you know, and we're finding that truth lies within the gray areas of what we've been taught, and that much of what we've been taught is true actually isn't. Um, so thank you guys with all my heart. You guys really do keep me going. There's sometimes this does get heavy or tiring, you know, and although I would never and and have never actually come to a point where I've decided to quit, obviously. You know, when the thought does run through my mind, sometimes if I'm just really run down and wondering, you know, if if if this is even worth doing, all I have to do is just hop on my comments and go on my YouTube or my social media, and it just automatically, any even lingering thought or random thought that comes into my mind asking those questions to myself, um, I immediately am met with just such warmth and compassion and love from all of you. And I can't thank you enough for that, you know, and um for all of you who share and comment and engage here. Um, one of the challenges that I have had over the years of doing this podcast is I think many people believe that this is just what I do, that I podcast, and that this is the only thing that I do for work. And that's actually very far from the truth, unfortunately. I wish that this was something that I could live off of financially. However, oh, look who it is. Look at this little guy. It's Kiefer. For those of you who follow me, you guys know Kiefer very well. He's been with me almost every single episode of this whole podcast, the whole time that I've had it. Um, he's often up here with me, although you guys can't see him all the time. I always have a little bag of snacks up here for him, and he loves them. And uh he hangs out and he's been a very big comfort for me. Come on, come here. Look at this little cutie. This is Kiefer. If you guys have not met him, he's my little um Bashawn Poodle, Brittany Terrier mix. He's absolutely amazing. And those of you who have animals, I know also agree that they're just amazing. Um, but he's literally been with me since day one of doing this podcast. I began it shortly after he and I um found each other and he came and became my pet. But they're obviously so much more than pets, they become family. But he's here very often with me. Some of you might see little glimpses of him. Sometimes he actually sits up and is sitting here. Other times he kind of sneaks in and sneaks up, but um he's often here, up here with me. And if he's not right up here, he's usually right right by my feet or somewhere right around me. So that's keeper if you guys have not met him. I post about him very often on my uh my social media. I just I love him so much, and he's he's been amazing. Um, but anyways, you guys are just the backbone of this, and I can't, like I said, I just I can't say it enough. Thank you with all my heart. Thank you for everything that you guys do. And like I was saying, I wish that this was my full-time thing that I did. It's truly my greatest passion. It's what I love with all my heart. Um, however, I do work a full-time job during the week. I have a Monday through Friday and possibly plus job that I work. Um, I drive about an hour and a half to and from work every day total, not an hour and a half to and an hour, an hour and a half from just total combined. So I work full-time and I'm driving a lot during the week to um to be able to have something that can pay for my life financially. It is very difficult, despite what people think, to create something that makes a profitable living online. And it's amazing how many um, you know, podcasters are out there doing that. But I think people assume just because I have a podcast that I can do this full time and that, you know, I can just pay for anything and do anything. Um I get comments sometimes about people who are uh demanding that I upgrade equipment or that I do this or I do that, you know, and I literally pay for this podcast out of my pocket. I have since day one. I've invested so much of my own money into this, including creating little setups, which by the way, welcome to my new quote unquote studio setup. Um, this was a long time coming just to have something a little bit more authentic to me and something a little bit cozier. Um, before I was using a futon and it served its purpose, but some some days I'm literally sitting there five, six, seven hours a day, depending on how long I'm with my podcast guest. Um, before and after the show, I there's a lot of communication and conversation that happens before we even begin recording and even after. So there are some days that I am literally sitting in the same place for four or five, six hours, and that futon is great for short podcasts, um, but it is not that great for longer podcasts. And then I also upgraded my background with tiles um that help some of the sound hopefully sound a little bit better in this area while also adding a really cool sort of geometric aesthetic to it that I like. A white background is something that I have loved having, but it's sort of difficult to make white look cool. So I took the lights that I used to have on the side of my um back wallpaper and I moved them to my floor so that way they come up and make sort of this cool aesthetic on the geometric patterning and the walls and the wall uh tiles, I should say. But I'm just I'm really excited. It's still not, you know, it's not an official studio, but I did sort of remodel the space that I have to create something that hopefully looks a little bit cooler on camera. And um I'm working on making the aesthetic on the actual um podcast. So, like the background that you guys see on your end from the recording studio, I'm trying to figure that out. I'm also looking at ways that I can make a logo different or you know, just kind of all the things. Um eventually I'd love to have a full studio. I'd love to have more of a professional mic set up, a way better computer. The computer that I have right now that I that I use, it's a more of kind of a generic computer, and um, I don't even have the ability to plug a mic in it because the outlet that I have for a mic, I have a camera set up on it because the camera on my computer is not the greatest. So this is a work in progress. Like I said, this is all funded out of my pocket. This isn't a profitable um niche to get into. I've obviously had my YouTube shut down twice. So um just please bear with me. Some of you make comments, and many of you don't. Many of you don't care about the aesthetic, you know, as much as maybe I do or some other people, but I do get comments sometimes: upgrade your mic, or you need to get better equipment, or you need to get a better studio. And I guess I just I wanted to explain. There's a lot of new people here. I just wanted to share a little bit about myself. You know, this this is something I'm doing from the goodness of my heart. It's not something that I'm doing with the reward of being able to live financially off of it. Um, I have a full-time job and I am up very late often and up very early um working on my podcast and um editing, publishing, marketing, recording. I do all of that all by myself, all of my social media clips all by myself, all my marketing, I run all my DMs, all my emails all by myself. And it gets very overwhelming in addition to working a full-time job, but I do the best that I can, and that's the best that I can do. And so I'm I have to at the end of the day be happy with that. And you know, I hope you guys are getting a lot out of this too. And like I said, just thank you. You guys really keep me going when times get tough or when I get tired. Um, you guys are the backbone of this channel, of this movement, and also my backbone, whenever I like I said, whenever I need a little pick-me-up, all I have to do is just look on social media and there you guys are. So thank you with all my heart. A couple other things that I wanted to share for people who are new here, or even if you're not, if you're somebody that, you know, maybe isn't always on YouTube, but you try to make sure that you're listening or catching some episodes. Um, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday evening at 6 p.m., I run a premiere on YouTube of every new video, whether it's a brand new episode or whether it's a rerun of an old episode, um, either from my channel or another Survivor Testimony or documentary or some type of a video that I show from the past. There's always a live chat and the the community is wonderful. I've really enjoyed getting to know a lot of you guys, even though sometimes I'm driving home from work or I can't make it in the chat the whole time. I really try to at least stop in and be there. And some days I'm able to be there the whole time. But regardless of if I'm in there, there's often a lot of survivors, a lot of targeted individuals, there's a lot of advocates and just people who tune in and watch. And it's a really fun time. It's sort of like, you know, getting to hang out with a bunch of people in real time. So if you guys are ever interested, that is on YouTube. And it's also on Rumble for people who me watch Rumble instead of YouTube. I know there was a while that I was not on YouTube either when my second channel termination happened. I just got really fed up. Some of you also support more independent social media platforms or video platforms, and I love that. So if you're on Rumble, please come hang out in the live chat. We have amazing mods and moderators, and we have a great loving community that is in both of those chats during that time. And it would be really fun if some of you who may feel the need to connect or who might want to connect, um, it's a really great way to meet new people and or to just be able to spend some time in the community with like-minded people, if you're somebody who's isolated or who doesn't often get to talk about these topics in your regular life, like a lot of us. So come join the chat. If you guys can also comment under the videos if you guys like them, and then if you guys find value, I don't ever ask for things like donations. I make all my content free. Um, I just ask that if you find value, if you guys could share it and like it and or comment, those little things go such a long way to help get this podcast in front of other people. I created it for that purpose to do something to bring more awareness to the darkness in the world. And this is something I'm extremely passionate about, like I said. And my I just want it to be shared. I want these voices to be heard finally. This isn't about me why I do this, it's it's for the people that I have on my show. And I know that's why you guys are here too. So if you guys find value, please share the show on social media or on YouTube if you have it, on Rumble. Um, help it circulate because there's uh I covered this in another episode that I did here by myself, but YouTube is really censoring platforms like mine. And instead of terminating platforms, or I should say, channels now, um, YouTube is now shadow banning and lowering channels in the algorithm so they're not easily seen or found by people who are looking for stuff like this on YouTube. And my channel is extremely shadow banned. It's been since I restarted my third channel, which is this one. Um, ever since I restarted this one, it had a little bit of traction in the beginning, I think because the content seemed new, but now that I've I've had a lot of videos come on, um I have noticed the change and the shift in the algorithm and that it's being extremely censored and pushed down. So anything that you guys can do with that is a huge help. It might seem small or insignificant, but it actually goes a really long way because every share, every like, every comment helps break through the algorithm and can help this content be seen by more people, can help these survivors get more support, can help their small businesses or their books be seen, and it can help their testimonies be heard and to get in front of people with eyes to see and ears to hear about this. So just an just a side note on that. Um if you guys would like to be a guest on the show, um, I used to always say this in the intro, but I don't say it anymore. Um, I just put it in the show notes. If you guys want to be a guest on the show, you guys can email me my email. I have two of them. If you guys prefer Gmail, my email there is Imagine a Better World 2020 at gmail.com. I also have a proton mail account if you guys prefer that, and that is standby survivors at protonmail.com. So you guys can reach out and connect with me. If you guys could please put something in your title about podcast wanting to be on the podcast or podcast testimony or speaking out something so I can find your email easily, um, that would be really helpful. And then you don't have to share your entire life with me. That's obviously not even um, you know, an ethical thing to do if you're a survivor in a sense, to just do that right off the bat. Um, please get to know me first and make sure that you're comfortable doing that. But if you guys could put just a little bit about who you are, or maybe um the types of things that you've gone through and how it relates to the show, and maybe your inspiration for wanting to speak out just something about you so I can see um I can see the person that I'm connecting with and it helps me make that connection with you, despite all the spam mail that I get, all of the um sort of trash mail that I get, it can be a little bit hard for me to sift through that. Um, again, I do this all by myself. And so if you guys could do that, it would be very helpful. And then same thing on social media if you guys reach out to me through DMs, which is also fine. I'm on Instagram, I'm on X, um, I am on TikTok. If you guys want to reach out on any of those platforms and the DMs versus email, that is more than fine also. Um, but my emails are below. So is my direct.me link. It's like a link tree. You guys can click on my direct.me and it'll bring up all of my social media platforms, all my video platforms, everywhere that you guys can connect with me. So if you guys are a survivor, if you're a whistleblower, if you are a targeted individual, a researcher, if you are a therapist or a survivor helper, um, please reach out. Um, I try to really connect with you guys when you do and spend time with you. Um, and that takes up a lot of the spare time and free time that I do have, which isn't a lot. So if you guys could just help me with labeling your email, something about speaking out or being on the podcast, that'd be really helpful. One day I'd love to have some type of a forum that sort of streamlines that, but it's just too much for me to do right now. And so I'm I'm just doing what I can, like I said, and you know, it gives me goals and things to upgrade in the future and uh more things to invest in when I do have a little bit of money that I can pour back into this, besides all of the other subscriptions and stuff that I'm already paying for. So um thank you. Um, so off of that topic, um speaking of intros, I just wanted to give a quick reminder about my introductions with new people coming in who only catch one episode. Um, I think the the initial reaction sometimes with people who are just brand new is why are your intros so long? Your intros are too long, you need to shorten them. I do longer intros for a variety of reasons. They're with the demographic that watches my podcast in mind and the guests that I have on my podcast in mind. So I have an episode that I did a I talked a lot about this in a previous solo episode that I did, but just to share a little bit about why I do that, my introductions are to honor my guest and to ground their testimony in a reality. This is not entertainment that you guys are listening to. This is somebody's actual life. And this content all over the internet is painted as entertainment. It's something that people don't get their hearts attached to. And it can be very difficult to bring people back to being grounded in this and to realizing that this is a whole person, this is a person even beyond their testimony and what they're sharing. A lot of these people are brilliant, they have businesses, they've been healing for years, if not decades, and can offer so much insight and information on that. A lot of them work full-time jobs and are very successful in their careers. Some have marriages and children and are incredible parents who broke the cycle. And just being able to showcase their testimony in a short amount of time and give you guys just an idea of who they are is really important because, again, this is somebody's life that we're talking about. It's not a Hollywood movie. And so that's one reason I do it. Another reason is I'm having survivors come on my show that are speaking out for the very first time often, or second time, or they're very new to it. It's extremely nerve wracking. These are people that have um often dissociative identity disorder as well, so there are parts of them speaking out potentially for the first time. And it's very scary. It can be very destabilizing, very nerve-wracking. And so I like to honor them and give them a couple minutes when the record button goes off to be able to breathe, to take in some compliments about themselves, to actually hear a grounded reality of their life and to be able to actually like soak that in. These are survivors who heard the worst possible things about themselves their whole life. They were told that they were worthless, that that they were never shown love. They were betrayed in the most heinous and depraved ways and abused in unfathomable and incomprehensible ways. And to be able to give them the gift of them hearing love and compassion about who they are, it just melts my heart. And if you guys actually sit through the introductions and watch the guest go from being potentially really nervous and panicked in the beginning to like touched, it's a really beautiful transformation and it can really help the conversation go a lot smoother and help it feel more cozy for them. Um, and then also I have a lot of survivors that listen to my channel. And before I did my introductions, instead of the comments being your intros are too long, it was you need to have a trigger warning, you need to have a trigger warning. I was very triggered by this episode. Well, I think having a trigger warning on every single episode is triggering. I'm not even a survivor of these things. And when I watch a podcast and there's just a giant trigger warning on it, as soon as I click it, it sort of is triggering. You know, it makes you wonder like, what's what am I getting into? You know, like do I need to be prepared for this? Do I need to like make sure nobody's listening? You know, it kind of like puts you on edge going into it. Everybody has different triggers. So putting a blanket statement of trigger warning just seems it seems very inappropriate for what I'm doing because I'm not here to tell everybody that what I'm talking about is a trigger. I'm here to empower people and to help survivors um decide for themselves if something is triggering and to empower them to keep going and listening if they don't think it is, you know. But I don't want to destabilize people by every one of my episodes would need a trigger warning, and that just seems um very unbecoming in a sense and more annoying than my annoying introductions. So those are just a few reasons why I do this. Um, I want to empower people, I want these testimonies to be grounded, to be told with integrity, to be to be shared with integrity, and for the conversation to be very comfortable for everybody listening and the people that join me on this, and even for myself. So there's a lot of reasons why I do that. That's not just me being, you know, uh an irresponsible host in a sense or trying to be annoying. Like I have thought out every little detail of how I do this podcast in ways that would probably make a uh you know a low standard person go crazy. Like my standard for what I do is extremely high. And um that's one of the standards that I have. That's something I enjoy doing. I will always do it. And um, you know, if it annoys you, then you can take two seconds and skip over it. It literally takes a second to put your thumb on the screen and to screen to scroll past it. So you can do that if it's annoying to you, but please don't uh badger me for it. I I have thought this out very, very thoroughly. And out of all of the options that I had, this is the best option for this show. It might not be what every podcaster should do, but it is the best option for my show for a variety of reasons that I hold dear to my heart and that I thought out very carefully. So, off of that topic, a few things that I want to share with you guys, kind of a few things that I'm working on. I put out a notice recently, and I've been talking about on my podcast, which is an MKUltra task force. And this too is being thought out very carefully. I did not forget about it for people who answered. I had an overwhelming outpouring of people who reached out who wanted to be a part of that. Um, and for people who don't know, there was recently MKUltra congressional hearings that happened. They sort of happened and were buried again, and I don't see anybody talking about them anymore. But I haven't forgot about them. I haven't forgot about any of the hearings related to MK Ultra and history, and I know a lot of you haven't either. And so I'm working behind the scenes with a few people, including Allison, um, to put together some type of a way that we can form our own task force committee to push testimony out into a wider public. Um, I think if anybody can do it, it's this community um with all of the survivors that I know that are speaking out that I talk to regularly that would love the opportunity with all the help that I have with people who reach out, all of you who commented on that post that I made and or reached out via email or on my social media. I mean, I had to have had like two or three hundred people reach out saying that that they were interested in helping. I have more than you know, more survivors than I can count that would be willing to come share their testimony. And so while I'm working behind the scenes, I just wanted to put it out there that I have not forgot about you guys. And then something that I would ask is if you, if you're somebody that did respond on that email, if there's something in there that you think that you can contribute, if you guys could also email me and put something in the title about MKUltra um task force committee interest or something like that as the title, and share what you think that you could contribute. Um, I'm gathering information and creating sort of a master spreadsheet or list of different jobs that could be very useful, things that people with time could do in their time, um the types of professions of people, the skill sets, and the um the kind of people that that like we really need to be on this in order to push it forward. And every single person has something to offer, whether that's a skill that you have, whether that's a business, whether that's finances that you could help donate to people involved and or just the cause in general. Um this is something that I'm very serious about, and I'm taking my time on purpose because I want to be able to roll this out in a way that is effective and that can actually create the desired outcomes that we're looking for versus just throwing something together and pushing it forward right away. So I have not forgot about any of you. Um I'd love to hear your ideas if you guys have ways or connections of people that could help, if you guys are somebody in a position that could help or make connections with people who could. Um, if you guys are somebody who is in in an inconventional or I should say unconventional profession that usually doesn't deal with this type of thing or who tends to be like shunned with it. For example, like lawyers. Um, we need people like you to step up and be a part of this. You know, there's a lot of people who are really afraid to talk about these topics, even though they believe in them. And there's a lot of people afraid to step up and be that one that stands by survivors and who wants to push forward with getting justice. Um, there's a lot of people that have that that are even in professions that could help, that have been scared into silence or made to fear losing their job. And although I don't want anybody to lose their job, if there's an outpouring of, say, for example, lawyers, you know, that that all come together and band together and push through wanting ritual abuse to be something that can be in mind control, to be something that is taken seriously in the court of law. Um, imagine the difference that you guys could make if you guys all came together, you know. And so I would love if there's people in these different professions, if there's people in positions of power, if there's people in authority positions that we would typically steer away from who actually want to be a part of this, we need you guys to step up. You know, we can't keep hiding and you know, putting our head in the sand. We need courageous people. We need people in all these professions, in law enforcement, in the court system, in government, in politics. We need those people to those courageous people, and I know that that those a lot of those uh those departments and those industries and uh those positions in society, a lot of them are very corrupted from the top, but there are good people that are working in these areas, and we could really, really use your help. Um, we need people who have time, who have five, 10, 15, 20 hours a week who can help volunteer. Um we need people with different skill sets, whether you're somebody who knows how to do really good editing, or who can do AI, or can who can be online, or who's a good writer, um somebody that can organize, maybe somebody who's really good with creating schedules, maybe somebody has software that they can donate, maybe somebody has a business that they that has something of value that they could donate to this cause. Um, but if we're gonna push this forward, like we really need a lot of hands-on deck, and we need this to be a grassroots movement from the people that puts pressure on the rest of society to pay attention, to participate, and to want to help push this forward with us. Um, we also need courageous podcasters and people who have media sites or platforms that can help disperse this as an announcement whenever we're ready for that. We need courageous people who are willing to cover this and who can help us get the word out and create kind of a ripple. Um, a lot of people still don't want to talk about these topics seriously. They want to make them as entertainment or clickbait. Um, and we need people who can take this seriously and who are willing to push this forward in a positive way that can create change and not just clicks. Um, so if you are somebody listening that would be willing to help cover this and or participate in dispersing the information out, please reach out or please um, you know, please reach out to us. Like that would be amazing. Um then if you are connected to somebody who might be interested in covering this topic, you know, please reach out to them and put pressure on them to start talking about this. You know, this is the most important topic in the world. The fact that we're not talking about this as a as a society, like that this isn't the main thing that's that's in headlines everywhere, that ritual abuse, mind control, organized abuse of children, torture of children, sacrificing of children, the fact that this isn't front page news is absolutely asinine. Like it is insane that this is just literally flying under the radar, although it's embedded everywhere in society. It's it's like this darkness that people can't see, you know, and it's just veiled. People look at it all the time, but they don't see it, it's everywhere, you know. And and just like that saying, once you see it, you can't unsee it. That's true, but it's amazing the amount of people who just go every day and don't see it, you know. And so we need to help break that. Um, we need to help pierce through the veil and help get this information out. We need to help survivors be heard, we have to help people believe that this happens. We need to create a ripple so big and get a majority so big of people that are on the forefront of this that the rest of society who wants to bury their head in the sand can't anymore. You know, if there were like a courageous group of lawyers or police officers or politicians, even who decided to go against the grain and begin speaking out about this and begin advocating for it. You know, imagine how impactful that would be. It only takes one person to start a movement, and then eventually somebody else will come and join. And then pretty soon it's not obscure or unconventional to stand up for something anymore. All of a sudden it becomes accepted, and more and more people jump on board. And that's how you create something that's normalized is and that's what evil has done, that's what the darkness has done. They have normalized evil and darkness to the point where people see it every day and don't even realize they're seeing it. And I want to show you guys this short video on how to start a movement. Um, I don't know anything about the guy who did it, I just know that this video has always stuck with me ever since I saw it a long time ago. It made an impact on my heart. And I think maybe it would make an impact on yours too. So I want to show this real quick.

SPEAKER_01 35:40

So, ladies and gentlemen, at Ted, we talk a lot about leadership and how to make a movement. So let's watch a movement happen, start to finish in under three minutes and dissect some lessons from it. First, of course, you know a leader needs the guts to stand out and be ridiculed. But what he's doing is so easy to follow. So here's this first follower with a crucial role. He's going to show everyone else how to follow. Now notice that the leader embraces him as an equal. So now it's not about the leader anymore, it's about them. Plural. Now there he is calling to his friends. Now, if you notice that the first follower is actually an underestimated form of leadership in itself, it takes guts to stand out like that. The first follower is what transforms a lone nut into a leader. And here comes a second follower. Now it's not a lone nut, it's not two nuts. Three is a crowd, and the crowd is news. So a movement must be public. It's important to show not just the leader, but the followers, because you find that new followers emulate the followers, not the leader. Now here come two more people, and immediately after, three more people. Now we've got momentum. This is the tipping point. Now we've got a movement. So notice that as more people join in, it's less risky. So those that were sitting on the fence before now have no reason not to. They won't stand out, they won't be ridiculed, but they will be part of the in-crowd if they hurry. So over the next minute, you'll see all of the uh those that prefer to stick with the crowd because eventually they would be ridiculed for not joining in. And that's how you make a movement. But let's recap some lessons from this. So, first, if you are the type, like the shirtless dancing guy that is standing alone, remember the importance of nurturing your first few followers as equals. So it's clearly about the movement, not you. Okay, but we might have missed the real lesson here. The biggest lesson, if you noticed, did you catch it? Is that leadership is over-glorified. That yes, it was the shirtless guy who was first, and he'll get all the credit, but it was really the first follower that transformed the lone nut into a leader. So, as we're told that we should all be leaders, that would be really ineffective. If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and show others how to follow. And when you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first one to stand up and join in. And what a perfect place to do that, Ted. Thanks.

And so thank you guys for being the ones that follow the lone nut that decided to start a podcast that hadn't been done before and uh who took that risk. When I began my podcast, this was one of the, there were so many influences, but I remember this video like made me not feel as bad about it because that was in my mind what I wanted to do. I wanted to start a movement and I want to continue to progress this movement. And I can't do that without without all of you. And that's the same for anybody, any of you in a position to do something, whether that's with your time, with your with your finances, with a skill set that you have, with your business, with your authority. You're only gonna be the quote unquote lone nut for so long. Eventually, you're going to get somebody who will stand by you, and then it'll put pressure on somebody else to stand by you and follow you. And then pretty soon, just like that video said, you become the the out, the outlier, the outcast if you're not joining in the movement. And that is what the darkness, that's what evil, that's what these cults and these these systemic corruptive systems through politics, through church, through the church, through state, through um every institution in the whole world, that's what they have done, is have created movements from a very small group of people. A very small group of people did all of this to us, to society. And a small group of us can do that on the opposite end, with bringing the with shining the light on the darkness and with overcoming that, and by doing things that seem scary or that seem intimidating. Being the first to do something or the second is it's very scary. There's a lot of risk involved, especially if it's something like your job on the line or your reputation or how people will think of you. Um, but that literally only lasts for so long and it builds something in you that nothing else can. It builds this character in you, it builds this strength in you, it builds this integrity in you that cannot be taken away. When you're somebody who is going up against a whole world of people who think that you're the quote unquote lone nut, you know, and and you have all this resistance to get through that, it changes you as a person and you become and develop this this resilience and this this incredible strength to be able to withstand caring what people think anymore because what matters most isn't what people think, it's doing the right thing, and it helps get you outside of yourself. If there's something amazing that this podcast has done for me, it has given me a purpose bigger than me. It has given me something that nobody can take away. You know, it's it's given me a fire inside of me that can't be extinguished. And it that fire lights me up every single day. It's what keeps me going. It's so much bigger than me. And it's it's something that I can't imagine my life without now that I have it, you know. But if I would have, if I would have listened to all of those little voices in my head saying, don't do it, you know, people aren't gonna like you. And even my friends, even the voices on the outside of me, on the outside of my insecurities that are telling me, you know, don't do that, you know, what are you doing? You're gonna ruin your reputation. People aren't gonna like you, blah, blah, blah. Um, you're a conspiracy theorist. You know, if I would have listened to all of that, I would have never had this podcast, and I would have never known how many people are actually just like me and think just like me. I think that's the other misconception. Like we feel alone in that thought sometimes, and that's because we isolate those feelings and that passion that we have, and it becomes something that the internalization of it of not knowing other people are out there, it becomes an ego-driven thing where we don't pursue action because we're scared of what of what is gonna meet us on the other side of ourselves, what other people are gonna think, how we're gonna be treated, what we're gonna be called, if we're gonna be outcasted, if we're gonna fail, if we're gonna mess up. Okay. And when you actually pursue something, all of that melts away. It has to. You have to know, like you short, you come, you find out very quickly that people aren't gonna like you, that people are gonna be mean to you, that you're gonna get attacked, that you will be outcasted. But so what? You're doing the right thing, you're doing something for the right reason. And the right reason isn't to be liked, it's to help people, it's to help give people a voice in whatever it is that your endeavor is. But I'm asking people who want to stand up for this movement to let go of the things that are holding you back if it's posting on social media and you're scared what people think. So what? You know, what if it was you or your your child that was the one speaking out or the one being talked about as still being affected by all of this? Would you want somebody to be scared about how it would make how it would make them look if they stood up for you? I had a comment recently on my Instagram. Some guy popped on um one of my posts and said, Why would I care about this? It doesn't affect me or my family. And it's like, yeah. And that's why it's happening to so many families. And that's why it can very easily happen to your child now because you don't care enough about it to look at it. And you, your cre your lack of care to even care about it creates a vulnerability in your own family because you don't even care to learn about it, much less understand how to protect you your family and your child from it. You know, so we have to have the strength to make this bigger than us. We have to look outside of the things that hold us back and those insecurities that we have, as hard as it is. I'm telling you, they don't matter. People that are bullying online because you're talking about something like child abuse. Like, think about what a piece of shit you have to be. Excuse my language, but like what a coward piece of shit you have to be to be sitting on the internet bullying survivors and people helping survivors and children. I mean, if I met that person in real life, I there'd be nothing I'd be scared of with them. I tell them to their face that they're a coward bitch, you know, and um I tell them online that they are too, but I would easily tell them to their face too. Those are not people that we would tolerate in real life or care if they liked us. The people that that actually matter will follow you and will support you. And the people that don't, that's on them. They need to heal from whatever it is that's making them not care or want to bully. You know, that's not your problem. But I guess my moral here, I could talk about this topic all day, but we need more courageous people who can let go of that and realize that it's okay to be disliked, that it's okay to meet to be uh a person that is met with resistance if you're doing the right thing. You know, there's I always call survivors heroes, and I and so many of them are like, I'm not a hero, like I don't feel like a hero ever. And that's why they're a hero. They're doing something not for themselves, but for the greater good of others and risking everything for it. That is a hero, and they're all heroes, and it doesn't take as much as we think to be a hero, it just means not letting the internalization of worry overcome the externalization of doing the right thing. That has to matter more than anything, and it does as soon as you begin to pursue it, it everything else melts away, and that purpose becomes so big that it doesn't matter what people say about you. And I joke around with people that hate me, you know, and that that dislike me. Good, like that's gonna look good for you one day, you know, knowing that you stood on that side, like I'm happy where I'm standing. I don't care if you like me or not for it. Like, I'm very happy where my stance is, and I'm not changing it for anything. I don't need somebody to like me in order to uh be happy with where I'm standing. I know I'm on the right side of history, I know I'm doing the right thing, and I could have the whole world against me, but I know that where I'm standing is right, and there's nothing that can happen that will take that from me, even if the whole world is standing against me. I know what side of history I'm on, and I'm proud of that, and I'm grateful for that, and I will never sacrifice or change that to meet the likes or needs of what other people expect of me. So I didn't mean to turn this into a life lesson. Um, of course, if you guys want more stories like this, you know, let me know. But um, or lessons I should say. But um I just I really wanted to come on here and just try to empower people and try to explain a little bit more about my situation, to introduce myself a little bit more to people who are just joining us. And thank you for joining us. It's amazing watching this community grow. I'm almost where I was at subscriber-wise when my second YouTube channel was terminated. I believe I had like 31,000 subscribers on YouTube, a little bit over that. Um, and I'm almost there now. I'm almost at 30,000 followers, subscribers here on YouTube. So thank you guys so much. It just like it melts my heart and makes me just really grateful, you know, especially like I said, when when things get dark or when I'm exhausted, it's just like it just lights me right back up and it makes me really grateful. And it's my reason, it's my purpose, and you guys, you guys helped do that for me. So please keep doing what you're doing and please reach out. Um, if there's ways that you guys think that you can help at all, or things that um things that we can do, questions that you guys have. If you guys want me to do more sort of solo episodes, I know you guys don't watch the show because of me, um, but it's still good to for me to connect with you guys, and it's something I care about and want to make time to do. So if there's things that you guys want to know or questions that you guys have about podcasting or about um the mental or emotional challenges overcoming things like that, um, if you guys want to know how to even start a podcast, you know, or how to share a testimony or whatever your question is, um, leave it below and all I'd love to cover more things like this in future episodes because it it's just really great to connect with you guys. Um another thing that I just like to put out there, I haven't put as much thought into this. Um, I have actually put a lot of thought into it, but because it's not something that I I can easily have access to right now, I've more imagined it than put it down in writing. Um, although I do have a lot of really good ideas on this. But if anybody out there can help create a documentary with me and some guests that I have had on this podcast regarding this whole realm of topic of RamCoa, um ritual abuse, mind control, and organized abuse, organized child abuse. Um, if that's something any of you would want to do and help with, I think we could do something really amazing. The ideas that I've come up with um have been very unique and it's something I've been sort of like, it's been burning on the fire, but uh I haven't really put it out there yet. I don't do documentaries, I don't know how to do that type of thing. I'm not extremely tech savvy. Um, I do all this by myself and it's difficult for me. It's out of my comfort zone to do all this techie stuff. Um, but I'm learning, but I I'm not a director or producer, I don't know how to do films um and documentaries, but um, I would love to start a conversation with anybody passionate about that and who would be serious and wanting to do um something with me. Um, I would absolutely love that. So just putting that out there and uh, you know, if this reaches one of you and and you feel called, I don't have a big budget, I can invest into this. This would be sort of a labor of love for the people who want to get involved with it. Um, but it's also something, these types of skills are also what I need in order to do the uh MKUltra Task Force Committee because we're gonna have to pursue a lot of things online with that too. So it could be a really great thing to um sponsor in a sense with a historical value that might not pay off a lot like right now. Um, because like I said, I don't have a big budget and I know it's a big ask for me to put that out there. Um, but it would be really cool if we could all sort of put our skill sets together and you know, volunteer our time for the greater good, knowing that the payoff will be in the future and hopefully sooner than later, but that it will have a payoff. It just will be more of a labor of love and something from our hearts to start, you know. And um, I'm sure people listening would love to donate to something like that. So I'm sure we could raise funds and uh and do things like that to help. Um, but I just I'd love to share some ideas with any of you who would be interested and um you know, sort of see if there's a way to collaborate and to create something um that we could really dive into these topics on in a way that can reach more people in an authentic way and not water it down, not turn it into entertainment, um, to ground it just like how it does on this actual podcast, but to create that same type of vibe in a sort of documentary or film setup. Um yeah, so if anybody out there feels called or uh is interested in that, please reach out my emails below. Um yeah, and I'll keep putting that out there until the right opportunity comes. I'm not in any major rush to do it. It just occurred to me that I hadn't talked about that, and I think it's good to just get stuff out there and uh to see what comes back. So that's one thing I'm putting out there, and um God willing, we'll be able to do that one day. Um, hopefully together it'd be fun to do that with some of you who you know I connect with on here or who I haven't connected with yet, but who watch. Keep supporting survivors. Um, if you know, I ask you guys to share this podcast, it's it's even more important that if a guest on my show has a business or a book, um, if you guys could support them and purchase uh or support or go visit their website, um, buy their music, whatever it is, if you guys could continue supporting survivors, donating to their GoFundMe's, um, that type of thing would really mean a lot to me. Um, a lot of the people on my show, you see the strength in them and you see the resilience and what they've overcome. You don't see their their struggles as much and how how much of a task it can be just to get through the day-to-day stuff or to pay the monthly bills. Um, you know, some people have really thrived on on not having a lot, and they're still very happy and able to function, you know, but even just five, ten dollars can go so far for some people who are just living on bare bones, basically, and like not sustaining any type of wealth to where they have um cushioning or they have uh savings or ways that they can provide if there's emergencies. You know, some people are like just getting by. And so if we can help that, that's like a really easy way. If you can help financially, that you can contribute is just sending the $5 to them instead of a nonprofit or buying their merch or watching their podcast, sharing their website on your social media, visiting their website and just giving them a hit and their um analytics. Um, if they have a book, purchasing it or sharing it on your social media, buying it as a gift for somebody for a birthday if you're already gonna get a gift for somebody and already have a budget for somebody else. You know, it can be a really easy way that you guys can support. Um, support them on social media, donate to their GoFundMe's. The GoFundMe's are really serious. If somebody puts that out, it takes a lot of courage to make a GoFundMe. And the guilt and shame sometimes, but behind that, you guys also don't see like the courage it takes to like ask for help. Um, that's really important that we help step up and support survivors in their times of needs with that too. So if you guys could contribute to those whenever they come up, that would mean so much to me. Um, I also have a Substack. I've talked about this before, but I do recaps of every single episode that I have on the show. I have the links for Rumble and YouTube. I will have if there's artwork or videos that were shown in the interview or clips that I've made, I will add that to the Substack article. I do a summary, I have timestamps on there of exactly what time subject changed as well as what was covered in that um time spectrum. And then I also do um recaps if there's other episodes that the guest has been on, things like that. Those are all included as well. The playlists, um, art photos. So if you guys could subscribe to my Substack, that is below in the show notes as well. It's free. Everything I do is free. Um, I will never charge for content. I do have um the ability on YouTube. You guys can become members if you'd like to contribute. You can donate on Substack. I have every link that you could contribute to my cause below in the show notes, too. Um, there's never any pressure to do that. I am just grateful that you guys are here and would rather you guys donate and give to the guests on my show if there's a way you guys can support them. But thank you to everybody who has, you know, supported me um on all these different platforms and who has followed my journey. It just means the world to me. So I think that's all I got for today. I don't want to talk for too long. Like I said, I know you guys aren't here to listen to me, but I just I like to check in and and hang out with you guys sometimes and uh share updates or things that I'm working on and just catch up with you guys. So please leave comments below on any of the things that I talked about today. Write me an email if you're a survivor wanting to be on the show, if you guys are want to get involved in the task force or the documentary idea. Um, and of course, leave comments below if there's questions that you guys have for me, topics that you guys would like me to go deeper into or talk about. And um just thank you with all my heart once again for being here. So, you guys, with that being said, thank you so much for listening. God bless you all, and we will see you next time.
