OWEN BENJAMIN on how Netflix ruined comedy by the insane amounts of money they were paying up and coming comedians

Much love everyone. Reminiscing about the early days of Hollywood comedy, where it went and where it’s going. Much love @TheoVon @joerogan
And how standup is like fighting. @jakeshieldsajj
I started thinking about this after chatting w @RealJermWarfare about if comedy is dead.… pic.twitter.com/0nSfEz91hE

TheoVon, Bert Kreischer,  I always liked stand-up comedy because you couldn't fake it.  The crowd didn't lie, like the laughter was obvious.  I moved to Los Angeles in 2002, so I know all about the entertainment industry.  And you would see like a new star pop up.  I remember when Kristen Stewart became a star, and I think that she's like retarded.  Like during Twilight she said, "I can't look at you Edward."  Live stand-up you can't fake.  Take a TheoVon.  I did open mics with all these guys for years.  We used to do the rainbow room where I'd have a little tiny keyboard with batteries on it and you'd wait to go 20th to do 5 minutes in front of 6 drunks, and you felt great about it.  You felt like you won something that night if you got one laugh.  TheoVon'd always be at the Westwood Brewing Company, there'd be this attic and he'd always be there working on his stuff telling stories.  He'd be outside hustling and getting an email, you know, working, working, working and  it was like a real camaraderie in it in it because, you know, can't lie on stage.  It's like you get laughs or you don't.  If you crush, you get respect; if you don't, you don't.  Kyle Cease had same material for 8 years

19:00. I'm still innovating, like I'm not drowning in money.  I saw that Nick Rekieta got arrested for drugs and guns and drinking himself.  And, dude, that was money that did that.  That person isn't just like a bad person.  That's what happens when you get millions of dollars or money that you probably didn't earn.  I'm not saying he stole it.  I'm just saying are you really worth that, talking about Johnny Depp trials or whatever, did you earn that level of money?  Because unearned money, unearned status, unearned knowledge, unearned wealth creates meltdowns, self-hate, self-destruction, indulgence in the flesh.  And I'm not . . . Nick Rekieta . . . any one of us could have been that or could be that.  Like he doesn't look like a sadist.  He looks like a guy who started detaching from reality, self-medicating, over indulging, . . . full spiral.  I wish him well, man.  Much love to that guy.  It sucks but a lot of times the Faustian reward, a deal with the Devil, is not what people actually want.  But I got love for all those dudes and they did earn it, man; they did. They're not like Hollywood scumbags.  They fought for every email address and every laugh and every gig, and all of it.  And much love.

JIMMY DORE: Jeff Bezos sits on a Pentagon board, has a $600 million deal with the CIA, and he runs the Washington Post." Yeah, but he's Mr. Start-Up guy

Probably not Mr. Start-Up guy.  But the Pentagon advisory board is real.  That's a fictional origins story that all of these guys run.  Ditto for Joe Rogan.  A $100 million dollar Spotify deal doesn't really scream "Indie."

 A very good read, I was extensively quoted in this article: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/bill-gates-invest-mrna-technology-dod-taxpayer-support/…

Latypova told The Defender that “mRNA is entirely funded and pushed on the market under military contracts and funding. It is represented as ‘defensive’ activity [to] skirt the Bioweapons Convention, [1975] which prohibits making offensive bioweapons.” According to Latypova, “The Pentagon came up with the cover story of ‘pandemic preparedness’ [to] fund on a large scale the making of biological poisons and related systems, including making them at scale.” As a result of this research, Gates has invested in companies actively pursuing mRNA technology — and continues to invest in those companies today. "“In 2020-2021, DOD spent $50 billion funding COVID products alone. This represents approximately 50% of the entire U.S. pharmaceutical industry spending on R&D per year. This means that, for practical purposes, there is no private biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry in the U.S. It is all controlled by the government and specifically, by the DOD,” Latypova said. Latypova told The Defender that, “mRNA technology can get around the Bioweapons Convention restrictions because it is a synthetic chemical drug, not a live pathogen.” Live pathogens are banned under the convention. Latypova also highlighted the role of Col. Matt Hepburn of DARPA, who she said helped mastermind the COVID-19 “pandemic preparedness and response” and DOD linkages with Big Pharma years before the pandemic."

LATYPOVA: and those people get promoted through Academia and Military and everywhere and those people are just as programmable actually better programmable because they're they're coin operated.

"I assure everyone that, first of all, nobody can make viruses in the labs—or anything alive, really—and secondly, they don't make gain-of-function viruses...avian flu, swine flu, [they're] false narrative[s]."

People think it's some sort of a new thing that they now can make gain-of-function (GoF) viruses.  And I assure everyone that, first of all, nobody can make viruses in the labs or anything alive, really.  And secondly, they don't make gain-of-function viruses.  So this is an area that on purpose has a lot of mythology around it.  But it goes back decades if not centuries.  So so-called biowarfare or using biological agents, and primarily using bacterial toxins.  So bacteria are real.  They are live organisms. They are large.  They're single-celled animals, and as part of their life cycle they excrete toxins.  Most bacteria are benign in fact actually beneficial we have a lot of bacteria living inside us as our gut biome those are very beneficial bacteria now there are some in nature that can excrete toxins especially if there are a lot of them and they tend to be associated with things like sewage from humans and animals getting into the water and those bacteria like E coli and other types can create secretions that are toxic and can be transmitted through water and that was noticed a long time ago thousands of years ago so there is historic there are historical accounts of people knowing this and preventing this through Water Sanitation centuries ago because of this 

1:45. This idea of buy a Warfare of the scientists and Labs able to create these viruses and release them out onto the population and get everyone sick and kill you know like large swaths of of the population is largely a myth.

2:00. It's largely a myth.

2:01. They have not been able to achieve that.  Now however in treating or creating the antidote to the biological warfare when they talk about vaccines that are being injected into your body, they are penetrating your skin,  the body's first offense, and then being distributed by lipid nanoparticles to all areas of the body, crossing over the blood-brain barrier, that, on the other hand, can be very harmful.  

2:28. Exactly.

2:30. So they love this Boogeyman of the released virus so that they can deploy what is actually the bioweapon device.

2:40.  A bit of reality that, yes, there is this danger with bacterial toxins in the water, especially, and once all those problems were solved with water sanitation, then this whole mythology about viruses started being created.  It was originally created in the 1800s but then started getting more propagandized.  I remember through my own sort of professional life in this healthcare that viruses used to be like nothing.  They were considered basically when doctors didn't know what to tell you.  They would tell you, "Oh, it's a virus," so this was like a . . . and then this whole mythology of all viruses, viruses everywhere.  And then viruses infect Hollywood and propaganda, all kinds of entertainment propaganda getting programmed to everyone's brain that viruses can be weaponized.  And this is the preferred narrative of the government and [the Defense Dept] who make up narratives like, "Oh there's going to be a lone wolf, some crazy PhD in a lab, and they will create this enormous danger by releasing gain-of-function viruses. . . ."  And remember that those Anthrax letters, which were clearly the handiwork of the Department of Defense, even the strain came from Fort Detrick, it was all pinned on Bruce Ivins this whole thing was created.  

It's Bruce Ivins because he's crazy.  He just did it.  He was a lone wolf.  No reason whatsoever.  He had access.

But 400 other people had access. 

. . . but it's him. 

And so they pinned it on him and suicided him and end of the story, right? They did this from the anthrax letters and then they made through several iterations the Zika and a few other pandemic scares: the avian flu, that's another false one; it's a fake narrative.  The Swine Flu, the Avian Flu.  The Avian Flu is a false narrative.   Swine flu is a false narrative.  So they practiced these over and over and over, and they figured out that this was a story that would scare the largest number of people.  Everyone had been pre-programmed, including their own internal experts.  So it's not like everyone is in on this deal.  They have a whole bunch of people who will do anything for money.  They cannot think.  Will not think.  And have been promoted through the system because of these personality traits these people specifically look for people who are very ambitious, not very smart, and will do anything for money.  And those people get promoted through Academia and Military and everywhere and those people are just as programmable, actually better programmable, because they are coin operated.

5:33. So there is a vetting process for leadership in the United States of America: have to have a huge ego, do anything for money, and be quite dull.  

5:43. You notice them everywhere.  They're all over the place.

5:50.  They can spot an intelligent person miles and way away and like, no, you are not getting in the Inner Circle.  There's no way.

6:00.  So because of these features in the leadership people are saying well no so many people cannot be in on the scam they don't have to be so everyone is given the narrative The narrative over time and now we're into the military programming this and planning this out . . .
