00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,700
Welcome to Keith's night. 
Don't try to on anyone and the 

2
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:05,400
libertarian Institute. 
This is an excerpt from the 

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,600
Corbett report newsletter in 
November of twenty twenty titled

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,700
how to save the world. 
The most powerful weapon ever 

5
00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:17,000
invented is wait. 
Hold on, rather than answering 

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
right away. 
Let me tell you a story instead 

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,300
by the 1770s tensions between 
the American colonies and mother

8
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:28,000
England or at an all-time high 
the Stamp Act, the Townshend 

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,600
Duties, the Boston Massacre. 
The Tea Act, the Tea Party 

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,300
protests were sweeping the 
colonies and no one could deny 

11
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:38,600
that American anger at King. 
George, the third and the 

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,000
English Parliament was reaching 
a boiling point, but still even 

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,300
as the shot heard round the 
world rang out in Lexington and 

14
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:48,700
Concord, to Mark the beginning 
of what we now, call the 

15
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:52,300
Revolutionary War few 
understood, that the American 

16
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:55,900
colonies were engaged in a war 
for independence at all. 

17
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:58,700
Even the Declaration of the 
causes and necessity of taking 

18
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:02,600
up arms, sawed. 
Relieve the Empire from the 

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:07,200
calamities of Civil War not to 
achieve independence from 

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,100
England. 
Although the ranks of those 

21
00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:12,600
agitating for Independence were 
growing. 

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,200
It was still a fringe idea. 
The average columnist in 1775 

23
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:21,500
believe themselves to be loyal 
subjects of the British crown 

24
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:25,500
seeking to secure the rights, 
afforded them as Englishmen. 

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,300
So what happened? 
Common Sense happened, that's 

26
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:31,900
what or more accurately. 
Common Sense happened Thomas. 

27
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:34,800
Paine's political pamphlet. 
Common Sense was published on 

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,100
January 9th, 1776 quickly, 
becoming one of the most 

29
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:42,300
important political tracts in 
history. 

30
00:01:42,300 --> 00:01:46,300
Some even hold it to be the real
founding document of the United 

31
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:48,100
States, not the Declaration of 
Independence. 

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,100
There are even those who claim 
pain himself was the author of 

33
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:53,700
the Declaration of Independence,
but that's another story. 

34
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:57,500
It's difficult to overestimate 
the impact that common-sense had

35
00:01:57,500 --> 00:01:59,800
in shaping the course of 
American history. 

36
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:04,100
It sold 120,000 copies in the 
first three months alone, 

37
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:06,600
equivalent to five percent of 
the colonies. 

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,500
Total population of 2.5 million 
by the end of the year. 

39
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:15,500
It had sold 500,000 copies or 
one pamphlet for every five men,

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,000
women and children in the 
colonies. 

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,600
To put that in perspective, a 
book. 

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,800
Today would have to sell 66 
million copies in America, to 

43
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,500
achieve the same status. 
And with those sales figures, it

44
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:32,500
would be the 13th. 
Best-selling book of all time 

45
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:36,300
but it's important to note that 
pain did not achieve this. 

46
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:41,100
Monumental success by dishing 
out dumbed-down mealy-mouthed 

47
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:44,300
wishy-washy, platitudes or by 
regurgitating, the type of 

48
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:46,800
common sense. 
That would have been held by 

49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,700
most of his readers. 
Know. 

50
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:52,800
He did it by completely and 
utterly changing the narrative. 

51
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:56,400
About the colonies, struggle 
against the crown. 

52
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,700
In pains view, the colonists 
were not Grieved Englishmen 

53
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:05,900
seeking redress from their King 
as many at the time, believed 

54
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,100
they were a nation of Free 
People engaged in a war of 

55
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:13,100
independence from a foreign 
ruler painted, not couch his 

56
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:16,600
argument and fluffy rhetoric or 
condescending patter on the 

57
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,200
contrary. 
He confronted his readers 

58
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:25,300
head-on with his radical View. 
Men of passive tempers look 

59
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:28,500
somewhat lightly over the 
offenses of Great Britain and 

60
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:31,200
still hoping for the best, our 
app to call out. 

61
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:35,200
Come come we shall be friends 
again for all this, but examine 

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,100
the passions and feelings of 
mankind. 

63
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,300
Bring the doctrine of 
reconciliation to the Touchstone

64
00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:42,700
of Nature. 
And then tell me whether you can

65
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:46,300
hear after love honor and 
Faithfully serve the power that 

66
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:49,200
hath carried fire and sword into
your land. 

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,000
If you cannot do all these, then
you are only Yourselves and by 

68
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,900
your delay, bringing ruin upon 
posterity, your future 

69
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:02,900
connection with Britain, whom 
you can neither love nor honor 

70
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,300
will be forced and unnatural and
being formed, only on the plan 

71
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:12,500
of present convenience will in a
little time fall into a relapse 

72
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,200
more wretched than the first. 
But if you say, you can still 

73
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,600
pass the violations over then I 
asked hath your house been 

74
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,700
burnt, half your property. 
Been destroyed before your face,

75
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:28,000
are your wife and children 
destitute of a bed to lie on or 

76
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,600
bread to live on? 
Have you lost a parent or a 

77
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,800
child by their hands? 
And yourself the ruined and 

78
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,300
Ratchet Survivor. 
If you have not, then you are 

79
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:43,900
not to judge those who have. 
But if you have, and can still 

80
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:47,800
shake hands with the murderers, 
then you are Unworthy of the 

81
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:53,400
name, husband, father friend, or
lover, and whatever May Be your 

82
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,800
rank or title in life. 
You have the heart of a coward 

83
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,400
and the spirit of a sycophant 
incredibly by the mere force of 

84
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,700
his words, pain, succeeded if he
had picked up a gun and taken 

85
00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:08,700
some shots at some British 
soldiers. 

86
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:13,900
He may have taken one or two out
before he was subdued, but by 

87
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:17,900
picking up his pen, he did 
something incalculably, more 

88
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:20,400
effective. 
He roused an entire nation into 

89
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,600
open Rebellion against the 
largest and most Fearsome 

90
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:26,900
military and economic power on 
the planet. 

91
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,100
Obviously. 
We do not live in the world of 

92
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:34,100
1776, but it is worth reflecting
on the story of common sense 

93
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:37,600
because embedded within it is 
the answer to the question. 

94
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,200
What is the most powerful weapon
ever invented? 

95
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,800
Have you figured it out yet? 
Story is the most powerful 

96
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,700
weapon narrative ideas presented
in such a way as to provoke 

97
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:53,000
certain thoughts. 
Thoughts. 

98
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:58,200
Or actions with a gun. 
You can kill a man with a bomb. 

99
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,700
You can kill a family with a 
nuke. 

100
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:03,700
You Can level a city, but with a
story, you can control the 

101
00:06:03,700 --> 00:06:05,900
world. 
This is how billions of people 

102
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:09,000
around the world have been 
locked up as prisoners, in their

103
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,100
own homes. 
This past year, not because 

104
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,800
there is an inexhaustible supply
of police Thug standing on every

105
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,600
street corner, ready to shoot, 
anyone who steps outside of 

106
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,100
their home, but because a 
narrative has been constructed 

107
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:24,600
such that the vast majority Do 
you want to stay home? 

108
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,600
Give us a society. 
The right narrative, and they 

109
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,700
will gladly lock themselves 
inside their own prison and hand

110
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:34,200
over the key. 
This is why billions around the 

111
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,800
globe are prepared to roll up 
their sleeves for an 

112
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,800
experimental unproven vaccine 
for a disease with a 99.9 

113
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,700
percent survival rate. 
The masses have been given a 

114
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:50,100
narrative whereby. 
This vaccine is going to deliver

115
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:52,500
them from a deadly plague. 
It doesn't matter. 

116
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:54,900
What counter evidence is 
presented to them. 

117
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:58,200
The ones who take the vaccine, 
are the Righteous Heroes of the 

118
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,800
story and those who question the
vaccines are the villains. 

119
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,600
This is also why. 
As it pains me to point out over

120
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,500
and over again, in my 
propaganda, Watch series, the 

121
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:13,600
powers that shouldn't be spend, 
so much time money and effort. 

122
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,400
Urging the public, if the world 
could be rolled over simply by 

123
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,900
posting armed guards on every 
street corner and listening 

124
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:24,000
devices in every home. 
You better believe those who 

125
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,100
seek to rule over, you would do 
that instead, but how could they

126
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:30,500
get armed guards to police their
fellow citizens? 

127
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,700
How could they get the snoops to
listen in, on their neighbors? 

128
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,400
Where would the enforcers come 
from? 

129
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:38,100
The population? 
Needs to be told a compelling 

130
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:42,100
story about why the rulers are 
rolling and why it is wrong to 

131
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:44,600
resist their rule. 
If such. 

132
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:46,800
A story is secure and their 
minds. 

133
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,300
They will happily police 
themselves. 

134
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:54,100
There is a flip side to this 
seemingly depressing in sight. 

135
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:57,000
However, yes, people can be 
tricked into enslaving 

136
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,800
themselves through propaganda 
and narrative manipulation to a 

137
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,400
large extent that explains the 
situation. 

138
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,900
We find ourselves in today, but 
the inverse is also true. 

139
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,900
We can be freed by a narrative 
that helps us to break out of 

140
00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:13,700
our mental. 
Prison one Storyteller with a 

141
00:08:13,707 --> 00:08:17,900
compelling tale to tell can 
reframe our Collective reality 

142
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:21,900
in an instant. 
And the World will change all at

143
00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:22,800
once. 
Sadly. 

144
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,600
It seems the powers that 
shouldn't be are much more aware

145
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,900
of this than we are. 
That is why the Dutch Army is 

146
00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:30,900
targeting, dissident voices in 
the Netherlands. 

147
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,900
This is why the Canadian 
military declared that they were

148
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:38,000
going to start to Target the 
Canadian public in the 

149
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,400
information War, but don't 
worry. 

150
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,700
They totally scrapped, the plan.
This is why the British army has

151
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:48,500
an entire cyber Brigade, 
dedicated to influencing public 

152
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:51,700
Behavior online. 
Line as does the US military, 

153
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,200
the Israelis, the Chinese and 
Russians and every other major 

154
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,500
government in the world it is 
because the great reset errs and

155
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:04,100
New World Order agenda, Setters 
recognize the power of story and

156
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:07,000
they fear the rise of a powerful
story. 

157
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:10,700
Teller, they're afraid of 
dissenters coming along and 

158
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:13,700
disrupting their carefully. 
Constructed narrative in the 

159
00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:15,200
days of yore. 
They would label those 

160
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,700
subverting their narrative 
control. 

161
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,100
A heretic and burn them. 
At the stake today, they label 

162
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:26,300
them as agents of disinformation
and seek to censor them out of 

163
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,200
existence. 
But the fear that motivates 

164
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:36,000
these responses are the same. 
Once again, the world is in 

165
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:40,800
crisis and just as in 1776, 
there are precious few of us who

166
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,300
understand the true nature of 
the struggle that we are engaged

167
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:46,900
in. 
What we need is a story a way to

168
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:49,600
explain this struggle to the 
duped masses who have bought 

169
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,000
into the false narratives unlike
1776. 

170
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,400
However, it will not be a 
political pamphlet that ignites 

171
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,100
the spark of understanding among
The masses. 

172
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:03,700
But someone will emerge with a 
story to tell a university 

173
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:07,100
lecturer or an online blogger or
Street activist or a crazed 

174
00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,900
person who emerges from the 
Wilderness and a beard and 

175
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,300
sandals. 
To remind us that we are free 

176
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:15,800
human beings and that we have 
all the power, not some small 

177
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,400
Cadre of deranged Psychopaths 
who seek to rule over us. 

178
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,100
Whoever it is that brings this 
message to the world and 

179
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:25,700
whatever form that message 
takes. 

180
00:10:25,900 --> 00:10:29,800
It will appear as a revelation. 
And answer that's been sitting 

181
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,400
there under our nose all along 
and when it arrives, it won't 

182
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,000
require persuasion or cajoling 
to convince the public to act. 

183
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,600
The story itself will compel the
public into action. 

184
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,700
I know these words will fall 
mostly on deaf ears. 

185
00:10:46,900 --> 00:10:49,200
One of the narratives that the 
narrative controllers have 

186
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,200
implemented in US. 
Is that words are meaningless 

187
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,100
and only the armed Heretics of 
some steroid Laden gun-toting 

188
00:10:56,100 --> 00:10:59,900
Rambo can save us from Bad guys 
about those who have really 

189
00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:01,700
studied history. 
Know better. 

190
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:06,100
They understand that ideas and 
stories are the only things that

191
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:09,400
have ever changed the world. 
Where's Thomas Paine? 

192
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:11,600
When you need him, thank you for
watching. 

193
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,200
Keith Knight. 
Don't tread on anyone in the 

194
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,200
libertarian Institute linked to 
sources and the Corbett report 

195
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,500
newsletter will be in the 
description.
