1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:06,080
So since 2019 I have been making
podcasts and one of the series 

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,840
that I make is called Vancouver 
the Beautiful and Ugly. 

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,760
Today it's about the good, the 
bad and the ugly of running a 

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,120
platform. 
In 2025 S one of the most 

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:24,200
groundbreaking books I have ever
read was Marshall Goldsmith. 

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,400
What got you here won't get you 
there. 

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,400
It's a powerful book on self 
reflection. 

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,160
Anyone that's at a crossroads in
their journey, and I've been 

9
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:38,240
through many of them, especially
when I was involved in IT 

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,520
startup culture. 
This was a highly recommended 

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,440
and a must read book for people 
that are entrepreneurs are just.

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,160
If you're kind of stuck in a 
direction in your life, you're 

13
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,720
putting out a lot of effort, but
you feel like you're going 

14
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,440
nowhere and this relates to 
self-awareness and cognitive. 

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,640
Here are some relevant insights 
and quotes from. 

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,000
We get positive reinforcement 
from our past successes and 

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,480
think that type of validation is
the predictive of great things 

18
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,080
in the future. 
This aligns with the tendency 

19
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,640
to. 
Repeat which one's work? 

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:23,080
Even when it no longer serves. 
Recognizing this is crucial for 

21
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,240
goals, accountability and 
change. 

22
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,080
Successful people tend to resist
change because they believe that

23
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,640
their past behaviours are the 
reason for their current 

24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,120
success. 
This quote encourages 

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:42,080
questioning wherever your 
current behaviour are truly 

26
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,240
beneficial for the next level of
success. 

27
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,600
So Goldsmith notes that people 
often believe I have succeeded, 

28
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,120
I can succeed, I will succeed, I
choose to succeed. 

29
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:03,200
While these beliefs Dr. success,
they can also blind you to the 

30
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,360
need for behavioural change. 
The importance of feedback One 

31
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,240
of the greatest obstacles to 
change is the absence of 

32
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,560
feedback. 
Accepting honest feedback, even 

33
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,840
when it's uncomfortable, can 
illuminate areas for growth. 

34
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,040
Letting go of faulty behaviours.
The higher you go, the more your

35
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,840
problems or behaviour. 
Often it's not a lack of skill 

36
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,160
that holds people back, but 
habits like refusing to listen, 

37
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:42,040
arrogance or the inability to 
adopt this book score message. 

38
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:47,400
Encourage humility, listening, 
proactive self reflection as I 

39
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,960
analyzed my journey of the 
Vancouver True crime and the 

40
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,160
Dark mine detective. 
And now that I'm at a 

41
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,160
crossroads, I kind of re read 
this book recently. 

42
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,000
One thing I learnt from doing 
this platform, doing startups, 

43
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:11,440
business development consulting 
in these arenas is the important

44
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,520
to embrace reinvention. 
Recognize that each phase of 

45
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,280
your career will require new 
skills, new behavior. 

46
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:31,520
And my next step is to really 
focus on some new areas as far 

47
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:38,440
as the brand of Dark Mind 
Detective and the new podcast 

48
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,840
that I'll be launching with 
Nash. 

49
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,280
And you'll hear her at the end 
of this podcast and our very 

50
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:53,440
first Epstein editorial. 
And this is going to represent 

51
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,920
another new direction for 
myself. 

52
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:04,440
And my next steps, the areas 
that I'm going to primarily be 

53
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,840
putting my energy into, is 
course storytelling, podcasting,

54
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:16,279
writing a book, the Picton. 
Welcome to Picton Land workshops

55
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,959
and public speaking. 
It's important to think like 

56
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:28,200
ACEO and shift your mindset from
content creator to business 

57
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,560
leader. 
I'm not just running a podcast 

58
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,480
anymore. 
I'm building a brand with 

59
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,840
multiple dimensions, so one of 
the things that I need to do 

60
00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:44,880
that's actually crucial, it's 
like absolutely necessary, is 

61
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:50,320
shedding toxicity and negative 
energy in the Goldsmith book. 

62
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,200
And like I said, I can't 
emphasize enough of the 

63
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,480
importance of reading this book.
I'll tell you the title of the 

64
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,480
book again, Marshall Goldsmith. 
What got you here won't get you 

65
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,640
there. 
So emotional detachments, 

66
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:13,280
Goldsmith suggests, let go of 
the beliefs that you must 

67
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:19,200
respond to every criticism, 
choose when to engage and when 

68
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,480
to step away. 
As I get deeper into this 

69
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,760
podcast, just just remember that
that statement for a minute. 

70
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,720
Hang on to that, OK? 
Curate your environment. 

71
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,160
Surround yourself with people 
who challenge you in a 

72
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,080
constructive rather than drag 
you down. 

73
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,800
Expand your network to include 
mentors, public speakers, 

74
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,720
publishing professionals who 
aligned with my goals. 

75
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,880
I have surrounded myself with 
some amazing people. 

76
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,440
Nash is a great addition to me. 
She holds me accountable. 

77
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,040
She challenges my belief, but 
she doesn't nitpick. 

78
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,240
She doesn't disagree with 
everything I I say either. 

79
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,520
And we have amazing 
conversations almost each and 

80
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,560
every day as we develop the new 
Cult of Personality podcast. 

81
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:17,320
I like her critical thinking 
skills and she actually enhances

82
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,000
some of my blind spots. 
And then I'm helping her with 

83
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,160
the technology side, you know, 
audio software, that kind of 

84
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,080
sort of thing. 
So I think it's a it's a great 

85
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,360
fit for me, especially as I'm in
this new critical crossroads of 

86
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:43,640
building a new direction, Create
boundaries, consider limiting 

87
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,560
social media engagement, focus 
on meaningful dialogue through 

88
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,840
my podcast, my events and books 
where deeper conversations are 

89
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:59,280
encouraged. 
So yeah, I'm going to get more 

90
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:03,080
into this later, but yeah, think
about that for a minute, right? 

91
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,760
So this is a new mindset, 
adopting Feed Forward and set a 

92
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,040
feedback. 
Goldsmith introduced a concept 

93
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,040
called Feed Forward, asking 
others for advice how to improve

94
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,720
rather than seeking validation 
or criticism in the past. 

95
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,480
Positive framework accelerates 
growth. 

96
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,280
Letting go of unhelpful habits. 
Goldsmith highlights specific 

97
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,560
behaviours that hold people 
back, such as needing to be 

98
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,920
right, withholding information 
or refusal to delegate. 

99
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,200
In my case, the habit of 
defending myself against every 

100
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:52,320
against criticism is draining my
energy without yielding results.

101
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,240
So I have to adopt radical 
acceptance, Understand that no 

102
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,280
amount of effort will change 
certain perceptions. 

103
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,000
Instead, focus on those who 
generally resonate with my 

104
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,160
message. 
Delegate, collaborate. 

105
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,880
I need to hire and collaborate 
with others to manage 

106
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,000
administration tasks. 
Like help me with editing, maybe

107
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,400
help me with like editing on my 
books and things like that and 

108
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,080
freeing my time for my higher 
level creative and strategic 

109
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,560
work, right? 
You can't do everything, right? 

110
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,560
Simple as that. 
You can't be everything. 

111
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,240
Can't wear all the hats. 
And I've been wearing a lot of 

112
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,520
different hats for the last six 
years, right? 

113
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,640
It's a kind of a burnout cycle, 
right? 

114
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:41,159
Be selective about projects. 
So I'm pretty good at that now, 

115
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:45,880
but I think about 23, I was in 
so many directions. 

116
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,400
I was doing so many 
collaborations, podcasts, 

117
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,440
helping out with families, 
which, you know, of course, I 

118
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,640
always want to do, taking on 
cases. 

119
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,960
People would DM me calling the 
police on their behalf to 

120
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,760
because of they were in some 
type of traumatic trauma 

121
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,960
situation, helping them navigate
through that, doing advocacy 

122
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:12,360
stuff, missing persons and 
you're end up on a hamster wheel

123
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,840
and and you're not, you don't 
become effective to the things 

124
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,120
that are important to you. 
And of course, if if someone kid

125
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,600
is missing, of course I'm going 
to post it. 

126
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,320
If people need help, they can 
always reach out to me, right? 

127
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,160
But I also had to say no to a 
lot of projects. 

128
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,880
I was going in way too many 
directions and it was like your 

129
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,800
head spinning, right? 
So the main things that I'm 

130
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,680
going to be obviously the serial
killers for the dark mind 

131
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:45,120
detective, but we are going to 
get more into dark psychology 

132
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:52,960
manipulation behavior, right? 
I also have to put that same 

133
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,480
understanding into myself, my 
motivations, my triggers, my 

134
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:02,760
blind spot. 
One of the things I'm going to 

135
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,400
rigorously do is practice self 
reflection. 

136
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,400
Schedule regular reflection 
sessions, journal what's 

137
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,280
working, what's not. 
Ask, am I leading in a way that 

138
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:20,280
reflects my values? 
Embrace lifelong learning. 

139
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:26,080
Continuing, Continue expanding 
your expertise, not just in true

140
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,040
crime, but in public speaking, 
leadership and personal growth. 

141
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:37,120
I should consider joining a 
speaker Bureau or taking 

142
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,640
storytelling workshops. 
Visualizing your future 

143
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:47,000
Goldsmith believes in setting 
clear goals, envisioning the 

144
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,040
next chapter, a successful 
bookshop, a sold out workshop, 

145
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,480
standing ovations at conference 
breakdown, actionable steps and 

146
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,560
make it happen. 
So visualization is something 

147
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:05,160
I've used for a long time, all 
the way back in the 90s, right? 

148
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,800
So when I was involved in 
bodybuilding, weightlifting, 

149
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:14,160
powerlifting, boxing, that sort 
of stuff, say I'm going to do a 

150
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,640
£500 squat, right? 
I visualize myself walking up to

151
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,640
the rack. 
I visualize myself, how it feels

152
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,840
on the top of my back, right? 
But where my neck is, we're on 

153
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:33,040
top of my trapezes, my traps. 
I visualize myself picking it 

154
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,560
off the rack, feeling light, 
confident with that weight, 

155
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,440
hearing the weights Jingle, 
jangle. 

156
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,000
I step back, I squat down 
parallel to the ground and I 

157
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,240
pushed myself up with ease, 
right? 

158
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,840
I see myself doing it 10 times 
back on the rack, right? 

159
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:55,000
So visualization was a big thing
in sports sciences and 

160
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,200
performance. 
So it's something I utilized for

161
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,320
a long time. 
When I study drama, same thing 

162
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,840
again. 
I did some acting, some extra 

163
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,840
work and stuff like that, and 
I'd always visualize myself 

164
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,240
before I did it right and you 
see it in your mind's eye, 

165
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,200
right? 
It's a great tool, something I 

166
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,040
utilize for a long time, and I 
highly suggest it. 

167
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,920
So my resilience has already 
brought me far. 

168
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,160
I am a resilient person. 
Listen to my podcast, I hope you

169
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,480
hear that by shedding toxic 
interactions, which I'm going to

170
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:35,000
get into more in this podcast, 
adopting a feed forward mindset 

171
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:40,520
and committing to continuous 
growth, I will position myself 

172
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,000
for greater success. 
Goldsmith Coors lesson is true 

173
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,240
leadership that requires both 
humility and courage, qualities 

174
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,200
I hope I have demonstrated to 
owe an abundance. 

175
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,200
I will focus on what matters 
most and my future I envision 

176
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:05,800
will become my reality. 
So starting Vancouver True Crime

177
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:11,680
was a lifeline for me during one
of the most traumatic periods of

178
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:15,200
my life. 
It gave me purpose, a voice and 

179
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,640
a platform to amplify the voices
of others. 

180
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,840
I've been able to shed a light 
on stories that matter along the

181
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,240
way. 
I had the privilege of meeting 

182
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,680
extraordinary people, 
individuals that I would never 

183
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,280
cross path with if it wasn't for
this platform. 

184
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,360
What began as a project recorded
on an iPhone 7 while taking my 

185
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,360
kids out on a stroller ride 
around the neighborhood has 

186
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,440
grown beyond anything I could 
ever imagine. 

187
00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:46,840
To all the good people, the 
dedicated supporters, appreciate

188
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,480
each and everyone of you. 
Your encouragement and belief in

189
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,600
this mission means the world to 
me. 

190
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,200
I am credibly proud of what we 
built together. 

191
00:13:56,560 --> 00:14:00,440
Thank you for being a part of my
journey moving forward. 

192
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,200
I won't be creating much short 
form content anymore. 

193
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,280
My posts will mainly focus on my
work and my podcast. 

194
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,360
All of my energy is going to go 
in building up my podcast now 

195
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,960
that my podcast is back. 
Being a regular podcast and 

196
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,720
expanding it on video channels 
like YouTube and Rumble, 

197
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,200
Instagram has been an amazing 
audience growth. 

198
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,320
At its peak I nearly had 50,000 
followers, but after 

199
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,960
transitioning from Vancouver 
True Crime to Dark Minded 

200
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,040
Detective, I realize about 15 
thousand of those followers were

201
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,400
highly toxic individuals and I 
blocked many while many others 

202
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:47,040
chose to unfollow as my content 
shifted to a more focused and 

203
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,600
intentional direction. 
I am no longer sorry I said that

204
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,200
funny. 
I am no longer prioritizing 

205
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,960
short form contents, breaking 
news, or reactionary posts. 

206
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,640
It's ironic how how many toxic 
people offered nothing of value 

207
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,360
yet felt entitled to invoice 
their disapproval whenever I 

208
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,480
shared a story they didn't like.
Some would dramatically announce

209
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,200
that I'm getting my news outs 
where I'm unfollowing you as if 

210
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,880
it was my personal 
responsibility to spoon feed 

211
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,000
them updates. 
The same people would argue with

212
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,160
me constantly in favor of 
Trudeau's decision to block news

213
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,680
content on social media. 
And then they try to prove a 

214
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,960
point by sending me a blocked 
news link. 

215
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,600
The absurdity speaks for itself.
I've had so many of these crazy 

216
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,760
conversations and they're, 
they're always like, you know, 

217
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,560
middle class, upper middle class
ladies, right? 

218
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,960
I I I don't get it. 
But it's always the same kind of

219
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,120
demographic. 
So let me be clear. 

220
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,240
The media outlets in Canada 
receives hundreds of millions, 

221
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,320
in some cases billions of 
dollars in taxpaying dollars. 

222
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,040
But yet because of this news 
ban, we can't share updates 

223
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,280
during emergencies like 
wildfires in crisis. 

224
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,240
Most people under 40 get their 
news from social media, not 

225
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,440
cable news. 
So attempting to justify 

226
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,040
blocking news access is like 
arguing with a brick wall. 

227
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,120
Like you. 
Yeah, you can't reach them. 

228
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,800
It's just, it's like our arguing
with like a, you know, a 

229
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,640
religious zealot. 
The bigger issue that Canada, 

230
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,080
especially cities like 
Vancouver, has been hijacked by 

231
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,760
an insider crowd that thrives on
government contracts. 

232
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,760
It doesn't matter how disastrous
their toxic policies are, as 

233
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,680
long as they get paid, they keep
the system intact. 

234
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,560
So let's say that one more time.
The bigger issue in Canada, 

235
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,920
especially cities like 
Vancouver, the city has been 

236
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,400
hijacked by an insider crowd 
that thrives on government 

237
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,680
contracts. 
It doesn't matter how disastrous

238
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,480
or toxic these policies long, as
long as they get paid. 

239
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,560
As long as they get their check 
right via the taxpayer, right 

240
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,839
through the middleman of the 
government. 

241
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,800
Forget me, I might sound ranty 
but I need to get the shit off 

242
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,240
my chest because I've been 
watching this for the last six 

243
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,960
years. 
Please bear with me. 

244
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,240
Take the Downtown Eastside for 
example. 

245
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:27,200
After studying the area really 
intensely since 2019, hence my 

246
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,880
first podcast, Vancouver the 
Beautiful and Ugly. 

247
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,480
I see Clearly it's a dumping 
ground for the most 

248
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,400
impoverished, the most 
vulnerable people. 

249
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,520
You have predatory drug dealers,
which I talked lots about on my 

250
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,520
podcasts, right, a target 
vulnerable women, gangs that are

251
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,760
even more numerous, and a 
overstretched frontline officer 

252
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,400
stuck on an insane hamster 
wheel. 

253
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,000
There's the devastating fentanyl
crisis, predators, numerous 

254
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,040
serial killers. 
And then you have the so-called 

255
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,240
poverty industry, the NGOs that 
profit from the misery funded by

256
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,520
the government as the problems 
keep getting worse year by year 

257
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,920
by year by year. 
In some cases, I suspect the 

258
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,320
same people benefiting from the 
drug trade are also benefiting 

259
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,800
and profiting from NGO 
contracts. 

260
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:27,440
They weaponized a very loud 
activist mob to shut down anyone

261
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,120
that speaks out. 
If you point out these failures,

262
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:33,840
you're labeled the enemy. 
Kind of like Scientology, right?

263
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,840
What do they say? 
I'm not fair game. 

264
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,840
Fair game for distractors and 
heretics. 

265
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,880
You're accused of spreading 
hate. 

266
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,760
I've been on the receiving end 
of this, like any little thing. 

267
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,960
I remember some guy who's a very
good photographer, you know, 

268
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,600
cool guy. 
He sent me this picture. 

269
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,880
He was driving through Downtown 
Eastside and there was this big 

270
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,200
bonfire. 
And this it, he was a, it was a 

271
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,320
kind of a cool picture, but it's
kind of scary. 

272
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,960
There's big bonfire. 
So I posted it. 

273
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,560
He gave me permission to post 
it. 

274
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,160
And oh, how dare you. 
They're just trying to keep 

275
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,000
warm. 
Like, OK, Lighting fires in the 

276
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
city is actually not good, man, 
you know what I mean? 

277
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,160
Like I think the Vancouver Fire 
Department in one year, I 

278
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,560
believe it was 2024. 
Please don't quote me on this, 

279
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,840
just top of my head. 70,000 
fires, most of them arsons 

280
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,160
because The Dirty secret that 
the activists don't want to tell

281
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,520
you about, but look it up for 
yourself. 

282
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,360
People who have a tendency to 
abuse meth when they're in the 

283
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:37,560
state of psychosis, they love 
lighting fire cause a lot of 

284
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,040
them have those torches to heat 
up their their meth and their 

285
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,280
pipes. 
And then when they're bored they

286
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,720
go around lighting fires. 
I'm not making this up right, 

287
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,680
but I'm bad for pointing it out.
So the status quo in the 

288
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,640
Downtown East Side has remained 
for the last 30 years, if not 

289
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:01,240
worse if not worse, right? 
The same people in power will 

290
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,880
likely stay here for another 30 
year. 

291
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,960
You want to predict the future, 
You study the past, right? 

292
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,000
Benefiting from the corruption 
they help maintain The Latin 

293
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,640
phrase cubono, who benefits sums
it up perfectly right? 

294
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,040
I no longer believe that 
Vancouver can return to a city I

295
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,360
grew up in. 
It's heartbreaking. 

296
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,240
I have 100 years history in the 
city. 

297
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,600
I've come to accept it. 
Worse, I see the same corrupt 

298
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,040
patterns across Canada. 
Here's some food for thought. 

299
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,000
The individuals profiting from 
the drug trade, money laundering

300
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,360
are prime targets for foreign 
interference. 

301
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,400
Intelligent agencies worldwide 
undoubtedly know who are the 

302
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,520
most compromised players are. 
They have all the information 

303
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,800
and the all the intelligent 
gathering ability and they would

304
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,000
know the ones that are easy to 
corrupt further. 

305
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,640
You know someone's already have 
their hand in the cookie jar. 

306
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,480
What are you going to do? 
Offer them more cookies Are 

307
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,840
going to say no, they don't 
care. 

308
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,480
They care about the money. 
That's why nothing changes and 

309
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,960
that's why everything keeps 
getting worse. 

310
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:14,160
So the saying goes, right? 
Grow, survive, thrive, or stay 

311
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:19,440
stagnant or wither on a vine. 
After deeply studying cases like

312
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,040
Robert Picton and many other 
serial killers I come to, I come

313
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,760
to a realization. 
Being on the receiving end of 

314
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,280
relentless toxicity has 
toughened me up. 

315
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:36,000
Absolutely. 
My skin has grown thick and I've

316
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,520
always been one to make lemonade
out of lemons. 

317
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,360
Moving forward, I'm diving 
deeper into the study of dark 

318
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:48,800
psychology, manipulation, social
engineering, and the digital mob

319
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,160
mentality. 
Trolls are losers. 

320
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,840
There's not much you can do 
about them. 

321
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,320
I block thousands. 
The obvious ones are easy to 

322
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,440
deal with. 
It's like when someone is 

323
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,880
blatantly trying to provoke a 
reaction. 

324
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:05,200
It's like walking down the 
street and a mentally ill person

325
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,800
yells something obscene. 
You don't take it personal 

326
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,560
because you understand their 
words don't hold any real 

327
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,040
meaning. 
But then there's the subtle 

328
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,440
ones, the people who act like a 
toxic relative at a family 

329
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,720
dinner. 
They might make one snide my 

330
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:25,400
remark, then another, and then 
by the end of the night you 

331
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,240
explode, of course. 
And then they play victim 

332
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,400
reactive abuse. 
So they poke you and poke you 

333
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,280
and poke you and poke you for a 
reaction. 

334
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,440
And finally, when you had enough
and react to it, they play 

335
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,480
victim right. 
Some people aren't outright 

336
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,040
malicious, but they nitpick 
finding your vulnerabilities. 

337
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,720
It's like they're searching for 
the sore spot and poking it. 

338
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,240
Oh, I have so many people like 
that. 

339
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,440
Again, it's it's really 
irritating. 

340
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,920
What really baffles me is how 
much time these people spend 

341
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,080
muttering others. 
I can't relate. 

342
00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:02,280
I'm too busy, I'm raising my 
kids, I'm managing my work, I'm 

343
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,800
writing, I'm recording, I'm 
editing, I'm building multiple 

344
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,120
platforms. 
I barely have time to listen to 

345
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:12,000
other podcasts, let alone waste 
time nitpicking on someone 

346
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,040
else's content, yet I've seen to
been a magnet for those who do. 

347
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,320
I've reached a breaking point 
and I it's exhausting to feel 

348
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,680
like I can't even post stories 
without someone micromanaging my

349
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,840
content, questioning why I 
covered a certain topic or plot,

350
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,840
formed a a particular person, 
accusations fly, screenshots are

351
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,800
sent, and it's all just a bunch 
of fucking noise. 

352
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,960
I think it's the nature of 
Instagram, unlike other 

353
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,280
platforms. 
Nature. 

354
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Sorry. 
Instagram's interface amplifies 

355
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,800
its toxicity. 
Comments and DMS are front and 

356
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,240
center, making it impossible to 
avoid the negativity originally 

357
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,040
too. 
And I do blame myself. 

358
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,720
I do, you know that? 
What's the saying? 

359
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,600
The road to hell is paved with 
good intentions. 

360
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:06,760
So originally I made myself very
accessible to people because I 

361
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,280
wanted to engage my community. 
And I'll be totally honest to 

362
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,560
you, from zero to 5000 awesome 
people, I had the greatest 

363
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,760
community. 
They, they knew me, they knew my

364
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,360
story. 
They they knew what I was about.

365
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:21,880
They're on the same page of 
there, there. 

366
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:27,960
It was like a perfect fucking 
community. 5000 to 10 still 

367
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,680
cool. 
Then I started getting the 

368
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,040
activist because I have a big 
platform. 

369
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,040
They got a monitor. 
What kind of content? 

370
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,000
I'm saying you know the the 
police types, right? 

371
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,360
You know, look for any little 
thing and then they make like a 

372
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,840
a TikTok post about you. 
Then Cuba true crime is 

373
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,680
problematic because he said this
like I'm not even joking, right?

374
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:53,040
It's like fuck get a life loser.
So I made myself accessible 

375
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,400
because I wanted to engage my 
community. 

376
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,160
I had some incredible 
conversations with people I 

377
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,400
genuinely respect. 
But for every positive 

378
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,640
interaction, there's a 
relentless stream of nonsense. 

379
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,960
So I'm done with it. 
I'm unfortunately, I've changed 

380
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,600
the name of a successful 
platform because of toxic 

381
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,280
behaviour, right? 
I'm tired of it and I'm doing a 

382
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,560
full fucking detox of this 
negativity, right? 

383
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:22,320
And you got to understand this 
right? 

384
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,080
When you spend your days 
researching the darkest aspects 

385
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:32,080
of humanity, serial killers, 
child traffickers, people like 

386
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:37,000
Jeffrey Dahmer, Marc de Troll, 
analyzing them with a forensic 

387
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,480
precision takes a toll. 
And I do this to have meaningful

388
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:47,320
conversations with experts, 
forensic doctors, investigators.

389
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,680
My goal is to deliver something 
valuable, not just surface level

390
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,640
content. 
There are plenty of creators who

391
00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,480
read Wikipedia articles while 
doing their makeup, and that's 

392
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,800
fine for them. 
I'm not knocking their hustle, 

393
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,840
but I'm striving for something 
deeper to get to the root of 

394
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,800
society's darkest truth and shed
light where it's most needed. 

395
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:18,360
This platform has always been 
about understanding the worst of

396
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:22,280
humanity to make the world a 
little better place. 

397
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,520
As I evolve, I'm taking back 
control. 

398
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,880
No more noise, no more 
distraction. 

399
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:35,000
It's time to thrive. 
This podcast traces a journey to

400
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:40,480
the shadow of true crime, 
systemic corruption, online 

401
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,760
toxicity, cumulating in a 
strategic blueprint for 

402
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,600
resilience and empowerment. 
Researching cases like Robert 

403
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:56,960
Picton, Jeffrey Epstein exposes 
not just individuals who are 

404
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:02,600
evil, but a system that enables 
it, institutional indifference, 

405
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:10,800
complacency, and elite impunity.
My revelations about Vancouver 

406
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:16,280
Downtown Eastside, a microcosm 
of Exploitation, highlights how 

407
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,840
marginalized groups are 
commodified by predators, NGOs 

408
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:25,240
and bureaucrats alike. 
Predators versus policy makers, 

409
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,600
Serial killers like Robert 
Picton and politicians causing 

410
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,600
mass suffering. 
Unjust war. 

411
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:39,480
Harmful policies operate on a 
spectrum of moral disengagement.

412
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:45,960
Both rely on dehumanization, 
gaslighting and systemic rot. 

413
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:52,160
Online toxicity, trolls, cyber 
wolves exploit anonymity. 

414
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,760
One of the things too, we're 
going to do in my new series, 

415
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,840
Robert Greene the 48 laws of 
power repurpose as a tool for 

416
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,720
self-defense. 
Cut off emotional vampires 

417
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,360
transitioning to long form 
podcast called to personality 

418
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,920
video essays and books to foster
critical thinking and expose 

419
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,600
corruption. 
Workshops and talks teaching 

420
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,800
manipulation tactics, digital 
hygiene, systemic navigation to 

421
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:32,440
arm others against exploitation.
Community building, creating 

422
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,920
spaces for like mind individuals
to reclaim agency and push back 

423
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,240
against societal collapse. 
The bigger fight Legacy over 

424
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:47,160
noise, recognizing trolls are 
just ghosts with no real power. 

425
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,520
Real power while silent 
supporters and nurses, veterans 

426
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,760
and parents form a backbone of 
meaningful change. 

427
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,160
Crossing the Rubicon. 
Reframing my trauma into a 

428
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,480
curriculum, books, courses, 
talks. 

429
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:11,440
Turn pain into protection for 
others by exposing how elite 

430
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,880
predators and algorithms exploit
human vulnerability. 

431
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:21,080
The goal is to dismantle 
complacency and rebuild a 

432
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,840
society, a community rooted in 
the accountability, critical 

433
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:30,400
thought, communal strength. 
Even in darkness, light attracts

434
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,960
light. 
The darkest truth isn't that 

435
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,080
evil exists. 
It depends on our silence to 

436
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:42,080
thrive. 
So since 2019, I immersed myself

437
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,920
in the world of true crime, 
producing podcasts that dwells 

438
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,440
into some of humanity's most 
harrowing cases. 

439
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,960
Working directly with grieving 
families during their darkest 

440
00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:00,000
moments have been both a 
privilege and heart wrenching 

441
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,280
responsibility. 
These experience reveal the 

442
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:09,720
stark contrast between the raw 
reality of tragedy and the 

443
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:15,160
sensationalized narrative spun 
by mainstream media. 

444
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:20,720
Time and again I've witnessed 
victims stories distorted, their

445
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:25,040
lies reduced to click bait 
headlines, while families 

446
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:30,600
endured cruel scrutiny from 
audience who felt entitled to 

447
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:36,840
dissect their pain to approach 
true crime differently. 

448
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,400
Take Robert Picton's case for 
example. 

449
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,240
I spent a year combing through 
thousands of articles only to 

450
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,880
find identical narratives that 
parroted across outlet. 

451
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,480
The reputation was robotic, 
devoid of depth until one 

452
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,360
article stood out for its 
deliberate obscurity. 

453
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,040
Running it through ChatGPT 
confirmed my suspicion. 

454
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,440
The writing was injured near to 
confuse and control the story. 

455
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:10,400
It made me question, why does a 
media, those in power, cling so 

456
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,640
tightly to these crafted 
narratives? 

457
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,640
Right Jesus. 
Vancouver's shifting landscape 

458
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,160
from paradise to fractured 
reality. 

459
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,320
Growing up in Vancouver during 
the 90s felt like living in a 

460
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:32,160
hidden paradise, A city brimming
with affordability, opportunity,

461
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,880
community. 
The 2000 tech boom brought 

462
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:41,280
innovation, camaraderie. 
But 2011, the cracks began to 

463
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,400
show. 
The Canuck riot wasn't just 

464
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,880
about hockey. 
It felt like collective madness,

465
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,120
erupting symptoms of something 
deeper. 

466
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,560
As Carl Jung might say, it 
mirrored the zeitgeist, an 

467
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,560
undercurrent of frustration that
swept even those with no history

468
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:04,000
of violence. 
By 2015, the city I love was 

469
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,800
morphing into a sterile 
playground for the wealthy. 

470
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,200
Mom and pop shops vanished, 
replaced by chains. 

471
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,880
Gang violent surged, predators 
growing younger. 

472
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:23,320
Random violence While the 
IN2020I grappled with a personal

473
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,040
loss, my wife passing away, the 
world in itself seemed to 

474
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,920
unravel and morphed into a 
dystopian episode of the Black 

475
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,400
Mirror. 
Then the rise and fall of my 

476
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:39,080
platform, Vancouver True Crime 
declining local journalism. 

477
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,680
I launched Vancouver True Crime 
to spotlight, overlook stories, 

478
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,200
missing persons, unsold cases, 
stomach failures. 

479
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,760
Platform grew quickly, but so 
did the dark underbelly. 

480
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,520
Comments section devolved into a
cesspool of cruelty, attacking 

481
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,120
grieving families, doubting 
victims, harassing me over 

482
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,000
trivialities, blocking trolls, 
disabling comments only feel 

483
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,760
their outrage. 
My DMS overflowed with vituros, 

484
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,840
even death threats when lunatic 
or a couple of them. 

485
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,600
I know who they are. 
A couple of fucking lunatic 

486
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:18,320
deranged morons docks my family 
by plastering posters of me and 

487
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,840
my kids and my address all over 
the neighborhood. 

488
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:28,480
Never forgot that mother fucker.
Never will and it's still under 

489
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,000
resolved. 
You thought you got away with 

490
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,040
it. 
I think again, tip shits 

491
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,960
shepherds. 
I think about it every single 

492
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,240
day. 
And I shared a GoFundMe for a 

493
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,880
woman brutally assaulted in her 
home. 

494
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,880
Instead of empathy, trolls 
accuse me of fabricating a story

495
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,080
for profit. 
So this was early on. 

496
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,320
This was about like when I was 
about the 10,000 Mark and a lady

497
00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:01,440
I know who solid cool person, 
not a bullshitter said hey, who 

498
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,360
is also a hairdresser sent Hey, 
this lady's a hairdresser. 

499
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,440
She lives near a commercial Dr. 
2 scumbags broke into her home, 

500
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,400
beat the crap out of her and 
robbed her. 

501
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,960
She's looking for a new place to
stay and she has a go fund me No

502
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,239
problem. 
I put her pictures up. 

503
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,440
Well, these idiots. 
Oh my God, Mark is making this 

504
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,840
up to scam people. 
So, yeah, I, I, I used my death 

505
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:28,280
of my wife, built a podcast and 
now I'm making up a woman got 

506
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,920
beat up who needs an apartment 
so I can scam a, a couple $1000 

507
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,800
with this. 
I did, you know, years or at 

508
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,280
this point, my part, my platform
was already a couple years old, 

509
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,239
right? 
And, and like total lunatics. 

510
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,320
And their big thing was I never 
heard about in the news. 

511
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,159
That was their big thing, right?
So and then there was one moron 

512
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,280
who had a fake account with fake
followers, a therapy dog in 

513
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,480
every picture who was like the 
leader of the of the lynch mob 

514
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,480
that was gonna out get me 
because I'm making this all up, 

515
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,160
right? 
So yeah, it's you know, you 

516
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,520
can't you can't argue with 
stupid, right? 

517
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:14,160
The loudest voices often belong 
to the most unhinged. 

518
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,640
I rebranded to the Dark Mind 
Detective, shifting focus to 

519
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,280
psychological analysis and 
advocacy. 

520
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:28,880
While I lost followers, I shed a
lot of bullshit text, a lot of 

521
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:34,080
bullshit toxicity. 
This experience mirrored 

522
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:39,800
Vancouver's own duality. 
A society discontent festers 

523
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,640
beneath the surface level 
civility, just like the Canuck 

524
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:49,440
riot channeling up pent up rage 
in the chaos, online trolls 

525
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:55,320
project unresolved trauma on two
convenient targets. 

526
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,680
So like I said, I was the first 
to know. 

527
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,200
Do the Vancouver beautiful and 
ugly, the beautiful of Vancouver

528
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,720
the ugly of Vancouver. 
I see this pattern over and over

529
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:07,000
again. 
If you study fractals patterns, 

530
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,520
right? 
Patterns of the universe, right?

531
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,760
What is what is above is so 
below, right? 

532
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,680
You know, a micro macrocosm. 
So true crime isn't just about 

533
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,560
solving mystery, it's a lens 
into humanity's darkest corner. 

534
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,160
And Internet culture of cruelty 
all stems from a fractured 

535
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:32,520
society. 
Understanding this, the why 

536
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,560
behind the madness is where the 
healing begins. 

537
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,720
For every Pebble of malice 
thrown in our shoes, resilience 

538
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:47,000
reminds us to keep walking, to 
seek light even in the darkest 

539
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,200
of minds. 
The psychology behind mob 

540
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:57,360
mentality, wherever it's riots 
or online outrage over petty 

541
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,200
issues, is a complex interplay 
of social, cognitive and 

542
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,440
emotional forces. 
Let's break it down. 

543
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:11,080
Through the lens of real world 
chaos, like the 2011 Vancouver 

544
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:16,400
Canuck riot and digital vitriol,
I experience the root of mob 

545
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,640
mentality, individualization and
amenity. 

546
00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:25,280
In crowds, physical or digital, 
individuals lose their sense of 

547
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,400
self-awareness and 
accountability. 

548
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:34,040
This de individualization strips
away personal responsibility, 

549
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:38,600
allowing people to act on 
impulses they normally suppress.

550
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,760
The real world example, during 
the Canuck riot, many 

551
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,560
participants weren't habitual 
troublemakers. 

552
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,480
The anonymity of the crowd and 
the shared adrenaline of US 

553
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,880
versus them. 
Lowered inhibitions online 

554
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:59,280
parallels trolls hiding or 
private accounts. 

555
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,720
Sock puppet accounts feel 
shielded from consequences, 

556
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:08,000
enabling cruelty that they never
display face to face. 

557
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,280
Like I said, most of them are 
just fucking cowards, right? 

558
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,400
Emotion spreads rapidly in 
groups. 

559
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,480
Fear, anger, excitement can 
escalate into collective 

560
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,760
hysteria. 
Real world hockey loss became a 

561
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,960
catalyst for pent up 
frustration. 

562
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,720
Economic anxiety, societal 
alienation has been simmering 

563
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:32,600
beneath Vancouver's glossy 
surface. 

564
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,520
Petty grievances. 
Nitpicking a GoFundMe post 

565
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,040
amplifies an outrage storm 
because negativity is 

566
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:45,960
contagious. 
Algorithms reward engagement, 

567
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:52,880
not nuance. 
People conform to group norms to

568
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,200
belong and mobs. 
This is often means adopting the

569
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,840
groups aggressive or destructive
identity. 

570
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:05,840
Real world rioters mirror the 
chaos around them, prioritizing 

571
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,440
group cohesion over personal 
morality. 

572
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,480
Online trolls bond over shared 
disdain, creating a toxic end 

573
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,880
group invited by cynicism. 
Why Petty issues outshine real 

574
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,400
world problems. 
Cognitive dissonance and 

575
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,760
displacement. 
Confronting systemic issues. 

576
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,360
Vancouver housing crisis. 
Gang violence requires 

577
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,760
acknowledging uncomfortable 
truth. 

578
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,880
Petty grievances are simpler 
targets. 

579
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,440
Displacement, unresolved anger, 
economic despair, personal 

580
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:47,040
trauma gets redirected towards 
smaller, safer targets. 

581
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:52,280
A missing child story becomes a 
battleground for strangers to 

582
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,520
project their frustration. 
This is one of the biggest 

583
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,400
things that have pissed me off. 
I posted about a 14 year old 

584
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,600
girl missing and the fucking 
idiots in the comment section 

585
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:04,800
were arguing. 
Oh I don't think she's 14. 

586
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,520
She's 30. 
I just talked to the parents. 

587
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,360
She's 14. 
Here's a police report. 

588
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,160
Oh no, she's not. 
No, she's not. 

589
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,160
Like I'm serious, right? 
You know what I mean? 

590
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,280
Like some of these fucking 
idiots I wish I could beat with 

591
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,760
a fucking stick because it was 
my daughter missing at 14. 

592
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,480
And I'm looking at the comments 
and these idiots are just want 

593
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:23,320
to run their fucking stupid 
mouths, right? 

594
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:30,760
Jesus goddamn Christ people. 
Moral licensing, fixation on 

595
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:34,160
minor faults. 
Nitpicking podcast post. 

596
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,480
Let's people feel righteous 
without addressing the harder 

597
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,640
truth. 
The bystander effect in 

598
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,440
communities facing serious 
issues. 

599
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,400
Overdose, inequality. 
People often assume someone will

600
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,000
act Petty drama, however 
immediate and actionable. 

601
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,360
Example, a neighborhood might 
ignore the fentanyl crisis but 

602
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,480
erupt over a controversial 
mural. 

603
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:04,160
It's easier to bait aesthetics 
oat than systemic failure, the 

604
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,440
illusion of control. 
Petty issues are often a false 

605
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,400
sense of agency. 
Arguing online about a GoFundMe 

606
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,680
scam feels like I'm doing 
something Unlike tackling 

607
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,680
institutional corruption or 
grief, Tribalism and 

608
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,800
performance. 
Social media awards extremes 

609
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,000
trolls perform for their tribes,
seeking validation through 

610
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,160
conflict. 
Example, your critics weren't 

611
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,720
just attacking you, they were 
performing for their own 

612
00:41:34,720 --> 00:41:38,520
followers, reinforcing their 
identity as skeptics or truth 

613
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,840
tellers. 
The constant exposure to trauma 

614
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,480
true crime content can 
desensitize an audience, making 

615
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:51,000
them crave drama over empathy. 
Meanwhile narcissistic traits 

616
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,800
Dr. Some to be center of 
attentions and other tragedies. 

617
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,560
What about my opinion? 
Oh, I've seen that so many 

618
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,240
goddamn times. 
Absolutely. 

619
00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:01,920
You know you're talking about 
something serious and there's 

620
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:06,520
some narsic lunatic trying to, 
you know, almost hijack the 

621
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:09,760
post, right? 
The mob mentality thrives on 

622
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,320
fear, fragmentation, and unmet 
needs. 

623
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,320
The Canuck riot and online 
trolls are two sides of the same

624
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,240
coin. 
Both revel in a society 

625
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:24,320
grappling with powerless. 
By understanding the psychology,

626
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,880
the deindivization, 
displacement, and try 

627
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,840
performance, you can start to 
dismantle it. 

628
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:37,840
My shift to the Dark Mind 
Detective mirrors this, focusing

629
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:43,160
on depth over noise and refusing
to feed the chaos. 

630
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:48,400
As Carl Jung warned, the 
pendulum of the mind alternates 

631
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:53,720
between a sense and nonsense, 
between right and wrong. 

632
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,480
The goal isn't to eliminate 
mobs, but to recognize the 

633
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:03,280
unmeet needs driving them and 
build systems that address those

634
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,640
needs before they explode. 
For the past year, I've been 

635
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:12,880
immersed and myself in the abyss
of the Robert Picton case, a 

636
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,640
journey that has tested my 
resolve, my humanity, my 

637
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,560
understanding of justice. 
Combing through hundreds of 

638
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,320
documents, legal transcript 
books have shifted through the 

639
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,120
layers of obfuscation and 
different to confront the truth 

640
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,320
so grotesque it defies 
comprehension. 

641
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,800
This isn't just a story of a 
serial killer, it's a damning 

642
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,800
indictment of a systemic 
failures and media complacency 

643
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,640
and societal neglect. 
The Picton case is a labyrinth 

644
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,680
of horrors, obscure by 
sensationalism, half truth. 

645
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:51,120
Mainstream coverage has long 
parroted the same shallow 

646
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,600
narrative, reducing victims as 
footnotes while fixating on the 

647
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,640
macabre details. 
Even the most well-intentioned 

648
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:04,840
books drowned critical insights 
and irrelevant information. 

649
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:10,880
The exception, I think the best 
book, The Lonely Section of Hell

650
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,160
by Detective Lorimer Shiner, 
whose first can accounts cuts 

651
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,520
through the noise with 
unflinching clarity. 

652
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:23,440
His work is a rare beacon in the
sea of distortion, grounded in 

653
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,640
procedural reckoning and 
institutional incompetence. 

654
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,760
Chilling reality of how 
marginalized women were failed 

655
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:36,880
at every turn. 
Yet other than that book, no 

656
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,800
Resources I Encounter fully 
connects the dots. 

657
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,520
Who enabled us? 
Who looked the way? 

658
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,000
The answers are buried in 
bureaucracy, cowardice, and a 

659
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,040
society that devalues certain 
lives. 

660
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,240
The toll of bearing witness. 
This research has exhausted a 

661
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:56,560
visceral toll. 
Day spent pouring over up TOPS 

662
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,200
report witness testimony has 
left me physically shattered. 

663
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,960
Migraine, nausea, and once, 
inexplicably, a paralyzed right 

664
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,040
arm. 
I'm not even kidding. 

665
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,280
I meant one day. 
It's just like I couldn't move 

666
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,720
my right arm. 
These moments I surface from 

667
00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:14,320
hours of writing, disoriented, 
only facing another kind of 

668
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,040
stupidity. 
Pettiness on social media, the 

669
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,320
absurdity of online harassment. 
Imagine hours of dissecting the 

670
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,000
Picton's case. 
Depravity. 

671
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:29,360
I log in to find a stranger 
enraged over a benign Instagram 

672
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,880
story fits a surreal Karen 
seething over triviality, 

673
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,560
weaponizing my DMS to chastise 
or threatening. 

674
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,640
Explain yourself right. 
Explain my explaining myself. 

675
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,000
I'm an investigating a serial 
killer. 

676
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:49,040
Maybe dial it back was futile. 
Their entitlement was absolute. 

677
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,000
This is social engineering in 
its rawest form. 

678
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,840
Changing your behavior to avoid 
harassment. 

679
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,120
Post less self censor. 
Let the trolls win. 

680
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:02,440
The irony. 
While I grapple with these cases

681
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,360
exposing society's darkest 
failure, strangers a perversed 

682
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:12,040
mirror of the indifference that 
allowed Picton's crimes to 

683
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,640
persist. 
Picton Case isn't just about one

684
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,680
man. 
It's about a culture that 

685
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:22,680
discards a vulnerable a media 
ecosystem that prioritize clicks

686
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:27,800
over content, a public that 
often ignores existential crisis

687
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,320
to bicker over nonsense. 
The same apathy that let Picton 

688
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,280
operate for nearly years thrives
today. 

689
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:41,400
It's actually worse. 
So, moving forward, this journey

690
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,040
has hardened and humbled me. 
To those who've weaponized 

691
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,760
pettiness, your noise is drowned
out. 

692
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,840
I will keep digging, writing, 
and advocating. 

693
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,920
Not for clicks or for approval, 
because some truths cannot 

694
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,560
remain buried. 
As Detective Shiner writes, the 

695
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,800
dead don't speak, but they don't
have to. 

696
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:07,280
Their silence screams louder 
than any troll. 

697
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:12,520
So since launching my podcast, 
Vancouver True Crime, I recently

698
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:18,480
shared my first episode, a 
deeply personal milestones After

699
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,960
a decade of dreaming about this 
podcast, I felt like driving the

700
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,640
first spike into a 
transcontinental railroad. 

701
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,600
Raw, imperfect, but undoubtedly 
significant, Vancouver the the 

702
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,080
Beautiful and Ugly explored the 
city's fractured the 

703
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,640
unaffordable crisis, crime, 
addiction, and failed 

704
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,920
leadership. 
Years later, those issues have 

705
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,800
only metastasized, the city's 
even more unaffordable violence 

706
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,600
and broken than ever, and a 
leadership that feels 

707
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,920
increasingly out of touch. 
When my podcast exposed the the 

708
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:53,480
chaos, the random, ER, 
stabbings, the policy failures, 

709
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,520
it shatters the illusion to 
preserve the worldview. 

710
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,320
Critics attack me because if 
you, if I am the problem, the 

711
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,680
system isn't broken. 
It's all in my head. 

712
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,360
It's all in my head. 
I'm just making it all up. 

713
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:15,320
But history shows that change 
only comes when the messenger 

714
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,760
refused to be silent. 
As Carl Jung warned, people will

715
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:24,880
do anything, no matter how 
absurd, to avoid facing their 

716
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,400
own soul. 
Keep driving the spikes and I 

717
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,240
will. 
What I've come to understand 

718
00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:36,720
through researching figures like
Robert Picton, Epstein and the 

719
00:48:36,720 --> 00:48:41,320
shadowy networks that shield 
them, this is society's darkest 

720
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,520
crimes. 
They're not anomalies. 

721
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,720
They're symptoms of a system 
engineer to protect power, 

722
00:48:46,720 --> 00:48:52,320
exploit vulnerability, numb the 
public into complacency, the 

723
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,560
cycle of corruption, the 
psychological blueprint, the 

724
00:48:55,560 --> 00:49:00,560
useful idiot politician. 
Young idealistic leaders enter 

725
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,920
politics believing they can 
change the system, but the 

726
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,520
system change them. 
It's not. 

727
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,760
This isn't accidental. 
It's by design. 

728
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:17,560
Dark psychology institutions 
weaponize gradual normalization.

729
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:23,680
Small compromise, softening the 
policy to secure donor backing 

730
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,600
erode moral boundaries. 
Overtime, politicians 

731
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:34,400
rationalize betrayal as 
pragmatism. 

732
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,000
A leader who once vowed to 
tackle homelessness quietly 

733
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:42,880
approves a luxury condo project 
after private dinners with 

734
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,560
developers. 
These softball interviews aren't

735
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:51,200
incompetence, it's strategic 
complicity. 

736
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:57,880
Media outlets to posture as 
watchdogs while avoiding any 

737
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:02,040
real accountability by 
occasionally exposing minor 

738
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,360
scandals. 
They create the illusion of 

739
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:11,280
integrity, feeding, freeing, 
freeing them to ignore systemic 

740
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:17,720
crimes, IE the Epstein client 
list, public role, divide, 

741
00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:22,400
distract, disenpower. 
The elites thrive on societal 

742
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,640
fractures, homelessness, 
addiction. 

743
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:30,440
Rivalries aren't just failures, 
it they are tools, Dark 

744
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,680
psychology, learned 
helplessness. 

745
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:37,200
When people feel overwhelmed by 
crisis, unaffordable cities, 

746
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:43,080
opioid deaths, they retreat into
petty conflicts, cultural war 

747
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,640
debates. 
This redirects way rage. 

748
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:51,480
This redirects rage from the 
power structures. 

749
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:56,520
Divide and conquer tactics. 
By inflaming tensions, urban 

750
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:01,800
versus rural, woke versus anti 
woke, the ruling class ensures 

751
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,440
no unified opposition forms. 
Dividing the populace is easier 

752
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,400
to manipulate. 
The Vancouver downtown's east 

753
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,000
side is a microchrism of 
societal collapse. 

754
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,360
The Vancouver downtown east side
isn't. 

755
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:20,000
But it isn't an accident. 
It's a profit driven ecosystem. 

756
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:24,840
Exploitation, psychology, 
addicts and homelessness are 

757
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:29,000
treated as commodities. 
NGO secure grants to manage 

758
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,840
poverty, not to solve it. 
Predators, pimps, traffickers, 

759
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,200
corrupt officials profit from 
despair. 

760
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:41,040
The system knowingly fails. 
Please ignore open air drug 

761
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,160
markets. 
Politicians fund half measures. 

762
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,400
This is an incompetence. 
It's calculated neglect. 

763
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:52,080
Keeping the crisis visible but 
contained justifies expanding 

764
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,560
bureaucratic control and 
budgets. 

765
00:51:55,200 --> 00:52:02,360
Why is no one held accountable? 
Evil 2 Point O Evil as a 

766
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,920
bureaucratic indifference has 
evolved. 

767
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,960
Today's corruption is 
algorithmic diffusion of 

768
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,000
responsibility. 
No single villain signs off of 

769
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,840
destroying a city. 
Instead, thousands of small, 

770
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:20,160
morally neutral acts. 
A zoning permit here lacks 

771
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,000
informant policy. 
There compounds into 

772
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,160
catastrophe. 
Leaders hide behind jargon, 

773
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:31,200
stakeholder engagement, equity 
frameworks to avoid taking 

774
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:35,320
actions, And when scandals 
erupt, they feign ignorance or 

775
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,760
blame. 
Complexity, the Stockholm 

776
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,480
syndrome of the masses. 
The public increasingly 

777
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:47,520
identifies with its abusers. 
Example defending a politician 

778
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:51,800
who betrays their promises. 
But her opponent is worse. 

779
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,480
They rationalize unlivable 
cities. 

780
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:59,440
That's how capitalism works. 
Dark psychology, cognitive 

781
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,320
dissonance reduction. 
Admitting the system is is 

782
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,760
rigged is too painful, so people
cling to the myth of progress. 

783
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:12,960
At least we're not the USA. 
Team Canada elbows up the call 

784
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,800
to awareness. 
What I'm sensing the unshakable 

785
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,440
dread that Canada and the West 
is entering a controlled 

786
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,280
decline. 
It's not paranoia, it's pattern 

787
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,640
recognition. 
The same forces allowed Picton 

788
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,560
to prey on marginalized women 
for decades are now scaling 

789
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,560
nationally. 
Foreign interference ignored by 

790
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:37,000
the media. 
Substance abuse policy designed 

791
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,600
to create lifelong dependence, 
not healing. 

792
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,040
The media class that amplifies 
distraction. 

793
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,640
Celebrity gossip. 
Outrage bait, The very hard 

794
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,440
truth. 
The take away? 

795
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,240
This isn't about fixing the 
system, it's about understanding

796
00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:55,080
it. 
Corruption isn't a bug, it's an 

797
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,280
operating system. 
But awareness is a first step to

798
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,920
resistance. 
You have seen with Picton, the 

799
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:06,320
sunlight can disinfect, but only
if we dare to shine it in the 

800
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,880
darkest corners. 
Even if the world does call you 

801
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:15,040
a conspiracy theorist and the 
call to personality podcast I 

802
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,280
will be Co hosting with Nash, 
we're going to cut through the 

803
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,440
partisan noise and expose the 
shadows of networks, the 

804
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,680
unelected elites who wield real 
power. 

805
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,800
This isn't about left or right. 
It's both pulling back the 

806
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,800
curtain on individuals and 
dynasty that is operating the 

807
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:36,120
dark far from public scrutiny. 
Think of it as a forensic audit 

808
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,640
of power names like Epstein, the
Trudeau's, and other legacy 

809
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,080
families that reappear like 
sinister threads in a global 

810
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:47,840
tapestry of exploitation. 
Why do these elite gravitate 

811
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,160
towards harming the vulnerable, 
especially children, treating 

812
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:55,880
human lives as commodities? 
Why does the media rarely name 

813
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,920
them The dehumanization. 
Moral disagreement. 

814
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:03,280
Powerful predators like 
Epstein's don't see people, they

815
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,960
see assets. 
Their mindset requires 

816
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,040
dehumanization. 
Psychological process where 

817
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,800
victims are stripped of 
individuality and reduced to 

818
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,120
objects. 
Moral disagreement. 

819
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,440
Elites rationalize atrocity. 
Everyone does it. 

820
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:22,800
Or displace blame. 
They chose this life they allow 

821
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,520
them to exploit without grief, 
without guilt. 

822
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:32,320
Example, Epstein's Leota Express
wasn't just a plane, it was a 

823
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,480
ritual of dominance, reinforcing
his belief that rules don't 

824
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,400
apply to him. 
Members are groomed to normalize

825
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,040
deviants, often through gradual 
escalation. 

826
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,720
Step one, small compromise. 
Attend a party, no question out.

827
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,720
Step 2. 
Social bonding. 

828
00:55:47,720 --> 00:55:49,880
Through shared secrets, we 
protect our own. 

829
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,000
Step 3. 
Full indoctrination. 

830
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,440
This is how the world works. 
By the time they are trafficking

831
00:55:55,440 --> 00:56:00,160
children, they're too entangled 
to escape. 3 The weaponization 

832
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,680
of distraction. 
Elites rely on strategic 

833
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,640
divisions to keep the public 
docile. 

834
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:11,040
While we fight over vaccine 
vaccines, pronouns and partisan 

835
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:16,240
theatrics, they loot institution
and exploit crisis. 

836
00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:18,680
Example. 
Trudeau's progressive branding 

837
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,760
distracts from his family ties 
to shadowy network the Clinton 

838
00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,680
Foundation. 
The WE Charity scandals. 

839
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:34,320
Why the 48 Law of Power 
terrifies the system When I 

840
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,880
first shared lessons from 
Robbers green the 48 Laws of 

841
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,240
power on Tik Toks, critics 
accused me of teaching 

842
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:43,000
manipulation. 
They missed the point. 

843
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,000
This book isn't a manual for 
predators. 

844
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,240
It's a armor for prey. 
Lesson 1 Never outshine the 

845
00:56:50,240 --> 00:56:53,160
masters elite uses to crush 
dissent. 

846
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,000
Law 13 When asking for help, 
appeal the self-interest. 

847
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,480
This explains why politicians 
serve donors, not voters. 

848
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:08,200
Law 25 Recreate Recreate 
yourself a survival skill in an 

849
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:14,320
era where algorithms and elites 
want you trapped in an outdated 

850
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,880
identities. 
The backlash proved my thesis. 

851
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:23,240
Those in power fear and inform 
public calling a book dangerous 

852
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,760
as a tactic to keep you 
ignorance, compliance and 

853
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:27,960
divided. 
Our mission, The call to 

854
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,960
personality isn't just a 
podcast, it's a counter attack 

855
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:37,160
with each episode naming the 
nameless track the dynasty, the 

856
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:42,920
fixers, Epstein's enablers who 
evade accountability to decode, 

857
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:48,560
decode the manipulators using 
Robert Greene's law, the 40 laws

858
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,640
of power to teach the listeners 
how to spot coercion. 

859
00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:01,360
So the new podcast, The call to 
personality. 

860
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:07,280
The podcast is a call to 
weaponizing awareness by 

861
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:11,760
exposing how elites, predators, 
and algorithms exploit human 

862
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,920
vulnerability. 
My goal is to dismantle 

863
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,520
complacency and rebuild a 
society. 

864
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,600
Rooted accountability, critical 
thought, communal strength, and 

865
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,480
the journey from podcast host to
advocate proves that even in the

866
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:31,360
darkness, light attracts light. 
The darkest truth isn't the evil

867
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:36,960
exists, it is that it depends on
our silence to thrive. 

868
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,520
Break the silence. 
Thank you for all your support, 

869
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:45,800
and thank you for those who are 
eager for the new path and the 

870
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:50,480
new direction of the Dark Mind 
Detective and now the Cult of 

871
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:57,080
Personality. 
Here we are. 

872
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,760
It is happening. 
It is real. 

873
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:04,000
It is official. 
It's it's a thing. 

874
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:08,840
It is a thing. 
Everybody come one come all 

875
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:13,320
welcome. 
Welcome to the very first 

876
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:17,760
edition of the Epstein 
editorial. 

877
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:24,720
This is going to be a regular 
and a reoccurring segment on 

878
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:30,040
Mark and I's podcast, just 
because Jeffrey Epstein is one 

879
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:35,320
of those topics that you know, 
just never goes away. 

880
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,240
It never goes away. 
It never goes away. 

881
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,640
It is here, it is with us and it
is probably one of the most 

882
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:49,760
prominent and most profound and 
most talked about and most 

883
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:58,200
sought after details and stories
that exists probably in the 

884
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,680
last. 
Well, I mean, there are there 

885
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,520
are people who have been 
invested in this story for 

886
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:10,360
decades, but it has become 
mostly mainstream within the 

887
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,200
course of the last, I would say 
five years or so. 

888
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:23,520
It didn't come on my radar until
about 2021. 2021 is when Jeffrey

889
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,920
Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell 
came on my radar. 

890
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:32,640
And it came in my radar over 
over social media, over 

891
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:38,040
Instagram. 
It was, it was a post about did 

892
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,440
he really hang himself? 
And I was just like, why is 

893
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,160
anybody questioning whether a 
guy actually hung himself? 

894
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:52,320
Yes, in 2021, I, I still was of 
that position as to why anybody 

895
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:56,360
would ever question that. 
I'm no longer of that position 

896
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:00,080
today, Needless to say as to why
something like that would be 

897
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:05,400
questioned. 
So it just, it caught my 

898
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,120
attention and it caught my 
intrigue. 

899
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,760
And so of course start looking 
into who is this guy? 

900
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,200
Who is, who is this random guy? 
Why do people care who this guy 

901
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,680
is? 
And in, in doing that and in 

902
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:28,360
digging into those, those 
details, Oh my, Oh my. 

903
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,000
Right. 
I think that's a pretty 

904
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,560
acceptable phrase when it comes 
to the likes of Jeffrey Epstein 

905
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:40,480
and the story and fundamentally 
what they did. 

906
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:47,040
Oh my, Oh my, indeed. 
And then came the news that 

907
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:52,200
there was going to be court 
documents that were released of 

908
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,040
a girl by the name of Virginia 
Roberts. 

909
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:59,280
And it was a case against 
Ghislaine Maxwell. 

910
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:04,120
And I was just like, OK, this is
my moment. 

911
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,880
This is my opportunity. 
Let's let's do this shit. 

912
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,440
Let's do this. 
Let's dive deep into these court

913
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,760
documents. 
Let's really and truly 

914
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:17,240
understand what all of this is 
about and how this all came to 

915
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:22,200
be from, you know, a, a victim's
perspective and what she went 

916
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,800
through. 
And, you know, maybe we'll find 

917
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:28,640
out some more details of the 
inner workings as to how all of 

918
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,200
this actually happened and 
actually came to be. 

919
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:41,160
So I set out with a group, a 
group of women. 

920
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:46,280
And when those first documents 
were released and we had a group

921
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:51,360
chat and I was going through the
court documents and I was 

922
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:56,560
referencing pages of things that
were of relevance, mostly of 

923
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,440
people's names that were being 
dropped. 

924
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,760
Oh my God, this person's on this
page. 

925
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,800
Oh my God. 
Diana's nanny, Who's Les Wexner?

926
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:14,360
Yes, yes. 
At that point in time, I had no 

927
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:23,200
idea who Les Wexner was. 
Shout out to KB for giving me 

928
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:26,520
the insight on to who Les Wexner
was. 

929
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:33,240
I fully know who he is now, but 
at the time I had no idea 

930
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:37,960
whatsoever. 
I had no idea, and I can admit 

931
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:39,920
that. 
I can admit that. 

932
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:45,240
So there I was, going through 
all of the court documents and 

933
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,320
after doing so, continuing to do
more research, continuing to do 

934
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,320
more deep dives. 
Got my hands on the black book, 

935
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:59,760
got my hands on the flight logs,
got my hands on a a lot of 

936
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,280
things, got my hands on the 
power of attorney, got my hands 

937
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,160
on you. 
You name it. 

938
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:12,400
I, I spent that entire whole 
year after those documents were 

939
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:20,160
first released just really and 
truly deep diving into this and 

940
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,640
what it was and what it 
entailed. 

941
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:31,480
And then there was the next big 
drop in 2023. 

942
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:46,400
And I spent a month, yes, a 
month going through every single

943
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:51,480
page of those court documents, 
which which were again, a part 

944
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:55,040
of the Virginia Roberts, Elaine 
Maxwell case. 

945
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:04,680
And I posted them to my stories.
And it's very much what kind of 

946
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:13,640
made me known and what made me 
become popular. 

947
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,000
I mean that's not the correct 
word. 

948
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:19,160
I mean I only have about 1400 
ish followers on a given day. 

949
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:24,200
I'm not saying I'm an influencer
or a Candace Owens or a Ian 

950
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:27,560
Carroll or a Joe Rogan by any 
stretch of the means. 

951
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:34,760
But by doing what I did do, my 
followers grew by over 1000 in a

952
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:39,680
month. 
By doing what I did, I became 

953
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:47,840
connected to a lot of people who
have become influential to what 

954
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:52,320
I am still doing today. 
Through my work on Epstein, I 

955
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:57,840
got connected to Mark. 
So it's something that I do take

956
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:05,280
a lot of pride in and it's 
something that, you know, I, I, 

957
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,360
I take a lot of pride in. 
I don't know what I don't know 

958
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:08,920
what else to say about that. 
I do. 

959
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:14,240
And, you know, being known for 
doing that deep dive into 

960
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:18,960
Jeffrey Epstein and everything 
that I have posted about with 

961
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:23,160
Jeffrey Epstein, it was the 
Virginia Roberts court documents

962
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:29,560
that really helped me and really
kick started everything for me. 

963
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:36,360
And so there's a reason. 
There is a reason why I'm 

964
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:39,520
talking about this, and there is
a reason why I'm going into this

965
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:45,480
detail and telling this story. 
And that reason is this. 

966
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:49,160
So obviously over the course of 
the last several weeks, there 

967
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:55,920
has been several talk and 
chatter and excitement and then 

968
01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:02,000
frustration over the quote UN 
quote, release of the Epstein 

969
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:06,320
documents, the release of the 
list and everything else and the

970
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:11,560
entire frustration that has been
going along with that. 

971
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:15,360
And I too have had frustration 
with it. 

972
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:21,640
Like just just be honest. 
Not it's not difficult, it's not

973
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,280
hard. 
Just be honest. 

974
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:30,280
And so with people's 
frustrations, there has been 

975
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:35,000
backlash against Virginia 
Roberts. 

976
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:41,240
And as I have been seeing this, 
I'm just like, wait, what? 

977
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:43,520
What's what's happening right 
now? 

978
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,200
Why? 
Why is this happening? 

979
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:52,800
Where is this coming from? 
And so the backlash is is multi 

980
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:57,520
sided and multifaceted. 
So one part of the backlash is 

981
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,560
saying, well, why didn't she do 
more? 

982
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,440
She had the opportunity to 
expose everybody and she didn't.

983
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:05,840
She took her money and she ran. 
That's one side of the backlash.

984
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,960
The other side of the backlash 
is she wasn't even really a 

985
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,280
minor. 
She was, she was 17. 

986
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:15,200
She didn't fit under a minor 
under Florida statute law. 

987
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,160
So why was she even whining and 
crying about everything? 

988
01:08:20,399 --> 01:08:25,800
So, yeah, so because these 
comments have been coming out 

989
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:31,439
and because these comments have 
been prominent, I felt the need 

990
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:38,880
to speak out and I felt the need
to maybe clarify things. 

991
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:44,720
Not that I feel the need to 
defend her, not I don't know her

992
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:46,640
personally. 
I've never met her. 

993
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:55,040
I've never spoken to her, but 
just based upon what I have read

994
01:08:55,760 --> 01:09:03,800
and based upon what I know, what
is being said about her and how 

995
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:10,760
she is in some ways being thrown
under the bus is so completely 

996
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:15,640
wrong and so completely 
improper. 

997
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:22,200
And ridiculous that I felt the 
need to speak about it and I 

998
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:28,040
felt the need to address it. 
So first let's address the she 

999
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:33,560
had the opportunity to, you 
know, air all The Dirty laundry.

1000
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,640
She had the opportunity to do so
and she just took her money and 

1001
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:39,640
she ran. 
So let's address that first. 

1002
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:47,279
So first of all, yes, yes, she 
did end up taking financial 

1003
01:09:47,279 --> 01:09:55,760
payouts from Ghilane, Prince 
Andrew, and I believe Jeffrey 

1004
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,720
Epstein as well. 
Yes, my based upon my 

1005
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:03,400
understanding of things she did,
she did take payouts. 

1006
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:10,320
However, let's go into a little 
bit more detail as to what 

1007
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:19,120
exactly she took payouts on. 
And so let's start with the case

1008
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:25,080
of her versus Ghilane. 
So the case of her versus 

1009
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:31,040
Ghilane was not her suing 
Ghilane for what Ghilane did to 

1010
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:35,760
her or what she went through. 
It was not about her being 

1011
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,960
trafficked. 
It was not about the the sexual 

1012
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:42,400
grievances. 
And I'm using that word loosely 

1013
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:47,560
that she went through that is 
not what the case was. 

1014
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,000
And it's very easy to look this 
up. 

1015
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:56,280
It's very easy to confirm and 
research this for yourself. 

1016
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:59,040
The the case is still widely 
available. 

1017
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,560
I personally use 
courtlistener.com if you want to

1018
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:08,920
look it up for yourself. 
So the the case of Virginia 

1019
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,480
versus Ghilane was actually a 
civil suit. 

1020
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:21,520
Most specifically, it was a suit
based upon libel and slander, 

1021
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:27,920
because Ghilane was saying to 
media and saying to everybody 

1022
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:31,080
that Virginia Roberts was a liar
and she was this and she was 

1023
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,920
making up stories and she's just
looking for 15 minutes of fame. 

1024
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,760
And so as a result, Virginia 
Roberts was, at one point in 

1025
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,400
time, was getting raked over the
coals in the media. 

1026
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:46,840
She was being stalked. 
She couldn't go anywhere without

1027
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:50,000
paparazzi following her and 
trying to interview her and 

1028
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,480
people construing her words. 
She gave an interview and the 

1029
01:11:53,480 --> 01:12:00,440
interview just completely did 
not even correctly quote her 

1030
01:12:00,440 --> 01:12:04,560
like it like she it was, it was 
bad for a very long period of 

1031
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:08,760
time. 
So to get it to stop, she sued 

1032
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:14,480
Ghilane for libel and slander, 
Saying that you're saying that 

1033
01:12:14,480 --> 01:12:17,000
I'm lying, you're saying that 
I'm uncredible, you're saying 

1034
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:21,240
that I'm this horrible person 
and I'm not. 

1035
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:25,480
So I want you to stop and I want
you to be found guilty of libel 

1036
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:28,960
and slander. 
That was the whole premise of 

1037
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:34,480
her case against Guilin. 
OK, so now when you sue someone 

1038
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:42,280
over libel and slander, the 
honest is on you to prove that 

1039
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:50,720
they libeled and slandered you. 
OK, so essentially the honest 

1040
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:56,880
was on Virginia to to prove that
when Ghilane said that she was 

1041
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:00,960
lying, that it was actually 
Ghilane who was lying. 

1042
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:07,160
So therefore, Virginia Roberts 
had to prove that what happened 

1043
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:14,240
to her was factual and real and 
it actually really happened. 

1044
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,520
That was the reason why of 
everything that was in those 

1045
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,560
court documents, that's the 
reason why the flight logs were 

1046
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:27,640
centred around Virginia. 
That's the reason why all of the

1047
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,520
the couple of the other girls 
that were their testimonies were

1048
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,000
included. 
They were all surrounded around 

1049
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:39,680
the time that Virginia was there
and in the circle, the the 

1050
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:43,000
housekeepers and the the 
gardeners and the chefs that 

1051
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,800
what they were all questioned. 
They were all questioned around 

1052
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:49,960
the time that Virginia was 
there, that she was in the 

1053
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:55,600
circle because it was on her to 
prove that everything that she 

1054
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,480
said happened to her, happens to
her. 

1055
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:07,840
OK, Is everybody understanding? 
That is everybody you know in 

1056
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:11,480
the in the know or 
understanding. 

1057
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,120
So that was that was the point 
of all of it. 

1058
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,840
That was the entire and total 
point of the court documents. 

1059
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:24,120
And it was Ghilane who 
eventually came forward and 

1060
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,440
said, OK, you know what, let's 
just stop this. 

1061
01:14:27,440 --> 01:14:30,920
Let's just make this go away. 
I'll pay you a certain amount of

1062
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,640
money and we can just stop. 
So because of the fact that it 

1063
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:41,120
was Ghilane who offered her the 
the payout, that's essentially 

1064
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,760
probing that Ghilane wanted it 
to end. 

1065
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,880
If it was the other way around, 
then yes, it would be 

1066
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:56,040
questionable. 
But because Ghilane did it, it's

1067
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:59,720
more so to the negative of 
Ghilane that she put the offer 

1068
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:05,280
forward rather than Virginia. 
And again, this case was not 

1069
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:09,040
about what was done to her. 
It was about her proving that 

1070
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:15,040
she told the truth. 
So because Ghilane said I'll pay

1071
01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:19,000
you X amount of dollars to put 
this aside, I'll stop talking 

1072
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,480
about you, you stop talking 
about me, and we move on with 

1073
01:15:22,480 --> 01:15:25,280
our lives and she took the 
money. 

1074
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:34,480
There's absolutely nothing wrong
with her taking the money in 

1075
01:15:34,480 --> 01:15:39,920
this particular circumstance 
because it essentially ended the

1076
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:41,800
you're a liar. 
No, I'm not. 

1077
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,240
You're a liar. 
No, I'm not. 

1078
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,840
You're a liar. 
It essentially ended that. 

1079
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:48,640
It ended that she took the 
money. 

1080
01:15:49,480 --> 01:15:52,200
Neither one of them can talk 
about could could talk about 

1081
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,640
each other anymore and they 
moved on. 

1082
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:04,800
There's nothing wrong, 
inappropriate, or negative about

1083
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:09,360
that whatsoever. 
This case was not the 

1084
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:12,000
opportunity for her to take them
all down. 

1085
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:16,840
That's not what it was, and that
would never have been possible 

1086
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:28,360
even to do in this case. 
OK, so now we get to the whole 

1087
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:34,280
she wasn't really a minor, so 
therefore can't really hold all 

1088
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:39,320
of the the sexual things against
them to her because she wasn't a

1089
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:41,760
minor due to Florida statute 
laws. 

1090
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:48,600
OK, that's yeah, that's that's 
what some people are are 

1091
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:52,120
wanting, are wanting to say and 
wanting to put forward. 

1092
01:16:53,000 --> 01:17:02,560
And to those people I say this. 
You do not need to be below the 

1093
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:11,680
age of consent in any given 
state, province or country to be

1094
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:22,640
lured, groomed, coerced, 
manipulated, victimized, 

1095
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:30,840
trafficked, sexually assaulted, 
and in fear of your life and 

1096
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:41,040
your livelihood. 
Virginia Roberts is a victim of 

1097
01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:43,720
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghilane 
Maxwell. 

1098
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:47,040
That is something that is 
irrefutable. 

1099
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,920
That is something that is 
documented. 

1100
01:17:53,440 --> 01:18:00,520
That is something that is known,
and to say otherwise is 

1101
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:07,680
ignorant. 
Virginia Roberts is 1 of 200 

1102
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:12,520
known victims. 
Now, I'm not saying that all the

1103
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:17,440
200 individuals are known. 
I am saying that we know that 

1104
01:18:17,440 --> 01:18:22,600
there are at least 200, and the 
reason why I can say that is 

1105
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:27,960
because just a few weeks ago, 
Jane Doe 200 filed her lawsuit 

1106
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:29,760
against the estate of Jeffrey 
Epstein. 

1107
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:40,760
And yes, it is being said that 
the majority of these girls were

1108
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:44,320
over the age of 18, primarily 
over the age of 20. 

1109
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:52,360
Yes, this is factual. 
This is true, but their ages 

1110
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:56,840
don't make them any less 
victims. 

1111
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:03,520
They are still victims who had 
horrible things done to them, 

1112
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:12,160
who were a part of and saw 
horrible things, who were a part

1113
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:19,800
of a network that is 
all-encompassing and all 

1114
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:27,920
consuming and they need to be 
believed. 

1115
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,520
More than one girl has been 
discredited and I'm not going to

1116
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:37,360
name names. 
I'm sure everybody has at least 

1117
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:44,240
one or two that they feel are 
not credible or not believable 

1118
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:49,880
for various different reasons. 
But that doesn't take away from 

1119
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:55,040
the fact that it is documented 
that these girls were a part of 

1120
01:19:55,040 --> 01:20:02,760
it and that it is well known 
what Jeffrey Epstein and 

1121
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:09,240
Ghislaine Maxwell were doing. 
So how can they be considered 

1122
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,600
not to be victims when they were
a part of something? 

1123
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:18,040
That clearly was not right and 
not proper and something that 

1124
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:24,280
was clearly illegal. 
People need to stop and take a 

1125
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,680
moment and really think about 
that and really consider that. 

1126
01:20:28,480 --> 01:20:33,640
And you know, in saying that 
they were a part of a network 

1127
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:38,080
that was all-encompassing and 
all consuming. 

1128
01:20:39,440 --> 01:20:49,480
That network is the real story. 
It is the real story of who they

1129
01:20:49,480 --> 01:20:55,200
were, who being Jeffrey Epstein 
and Gillian Maxwell, who they 

1130
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:59,400
were, what they did, what their 
plan was, what their intentions 

1131
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:03,680
were, what they ultimately 
wanted to achieve. 

1132
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:09,600
It is that network. 
That is what is most important, 

1133
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:15,840
not a list of names, but the 
network. 

1134
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:25,280
And it's the network that Mark 
and I will be discussing and 

1135
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:32,720
talking about moving forward 
with all of you with the Epstein

1136
01:21:33,120 --> 01:22:46,560
editorial. 
The. 

1137
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:21,600
The. 
If you're not called to tell 

1138
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:31,600
you, I wouldn't be here. 
I want to drive you through the 

1139
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:42,560
night down the hills. 
I want to tell you something you

1140
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:52,520
don't want to hear. 
I'm going to show you where it 

1141
01:23:52,520 --> 01:24:04,200
starts, but a little fear. 
There's something inside you. 

1142
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:15,640
It's hard to explain. 
They're talking about you, boy. 

1143
01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:25,280
Oh, that you're still the same. 
There's something inside you. 

1144
01:24:28,480 --> 01:24:36,520
It's hard to explain. 
They're talking about you, boy. 

1145
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:45,680
Oh, that you're still the same. 
I'm giving you a night go to 

1146
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:56,000
tell you I want to be up. 
I want to drive you through the 

1147
01:24:56,240 --> 01:25:07,040
night down the hills. 
I want to tell you something you

1148
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:16,920
don't want to hear. 
I'm going to show you where it 

1149
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:28,680
starts, but I love you. 
There's something inside you. 

1150
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:42,480
It's hard to explain. 
They talking about you boy, but 

1151
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:49,760
you're still the same. 
There's something inside you. 

1152
01:25:52,880 --> 01:26:00,880
It's hard to explain. 
They're talking about you, boy, 

1153
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:10,880
but you're still the same. 
There's something inside you. 

1154
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:15,960
There's something inside you. 
It's hard to explain. 

1155
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:21,520
It's hard to explain. 
They're talking about you, 

1156
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:26,280
they're talking about you, but 
you're still the same. 

1157
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:19,480
The.
