Chapters

00:00 - 00:30: Introduction to Solutions Watch In this chapter titled 'Introduction to Solutions Watch,' host James Corbett from corbettreport.com introduces the episode of the Solutions Watch podcast. Broadcasting from Western Japan in March 2025, he sets the stage for a discussion focused on a seemingly coordinated effort. Corbett hints at exploring this intriguing observation in further detail, suggesting a thematic focus on unraveling and addressing systematic issues. It's an introduction aimed at engaging the audience with the promise of an insightful exploration into coordinated societal efforts and their implications.
00:30 - 01:30: The Black Pill and White Pill Debate The chapter discusses the 'black pill' ideology prevalent in certain online spaces, which promotes the belief that individuals are weak, powerless, and have no agency or control in their lives. It suggests that one's only choice is to accept their lack of power and be content with it, as per the perspective of 'black pillars'.
01:30 - 02:30: Criticism of the Black Pill Mentality The chapter titled 'Criticism of the Black Pill Mentality' critiques the idea that people should blindly trust in systems such as voting despite historical evidence of corruption and manipulation. The speaker questions the legitimacy of recent elections, highlighting the influence and control wielded by a group of powerful elites and oligarchs. The chapter challenges the narrative that the system is trustworthy, pointing out the recurring instances of electoral manipulation perpetrated by those in power.
02:30 - 04:00: The Inversion of Reality by Black Pillers The chapter titled 'The Inversion of Reality by Black Pillers' discusses the rise of unconventional figures and billionaire mavericks in positions of deep state power. The narrative revolves around these individuals attempting to disrupt established systems using artificial intelligence algorithms, referred to as 'algy'. The chapter hints at a critical perspective on these changes, suggesting an attempt to influence people into accepting a 'black pill' ideology, symbolizing a realization of harsh truths about reality.
04:00 - 07:00: Interview with Independent Media Allstars The chapter titled 'Interview with Independent Media Allstars' opens with a positive sentiment, encouraging readers to trust the process and enjoy the unfolding events. The speaker seems to be optimistic about the impact of Dogecoin ('doge') on societal change, humorously suggesting it will 'make America great again' despite being a Canadian in Japan. The speaker contrasts the 'black pill', representing hopelessness and fear, with the 'white pill', symbolizing empowerment and the realization of one's agency. The chapter emphasizes that individuals are not weak, powerless, or pathetic, but instead, they have control and influence over their lives.
08:00 - 13:00: Ryan Christian on White Pill and Black Pill In this chapter, Ryan Christian discusses the concepts of the 'white pill' and 'black pill'. The 'white pill' is described as a perspective where individuals recognize their own strength and agency, believing that they have the power to take action and improve their world with others. On the contrary, the 'black pilling' perspective is one of despair and seeing no hope for change, often characterized by distrust in political systems and authority. Christian emphasizes the importance of focusing on empowerment and active participation rather than succumbing to negativity and hopelessness.
16:00 - 20:00: Jason Bassler on Black Pill Smear Tactics This chapter discusses the idea that the powerful and elite ('oligarchs') deliberately obscure certain truths from the general public. The speaker emphasizes a 'white pill' perspective, focusing on individual empowerment and the significance of personal beliefs, thoughts, and actions. This perspective counters the pervasive propaganda perpetuated by establishment forces to maintain control and influence over public opinion.
20:30 - 26:00: Sam Tripoli on Spirituality and the White Pill The chapter discusses the manipulation of perception by authoritarian regimes, especially in online spaces. It highlights how these regimes are promoting a defeatist mindset (referred to as the 'black pill') to disempower individuals. The text mentions a coordinated effort to invert reality by claiming that positive empowerment ('white pill') is actually negative ('black pill') and vice versa. The chapter underscores the narrative that people are inherently powerful and strong, despite attempts to make them believe otherwise.
31:00 - 36:00: Patrick Wood on Local Activism The chapter features a discussion led by Patrick Wood on the theme of local activism. The narrative challenges the notion that individuals cannot affect change, labeling it a 'black pill' mindset, and instead promotes action and local involvement as a means of realizing positive change. The chapter criticizes the trust in 'ruling oligarchs' which it portrays as a misleading narrative propagated by certain groups. Instead, it champions the idea that conspiracy realists, who have often been proven correct, offer a more accurate perspective.
39:00 - 59:00: Naomi Wolf on Rejecting Pill Framings This chapter delves into the framing of individuals who question mainstream narratives as 'black pillars,' suggesting an effort to dismiss or marginalize them. Naomi Wolf, presumably present in the discussion, may be advocating for rejecting such negative framings in favor of more positive or alternative perspectives. The transcript hints at an exploration of various events from 9/11 onwards, challenging the simplistic labeling of dissenters and encouraging a deeper understanding of their perspectives.
59:30 - 60:00: Conclusion and Call to Action The chapter brings together a group of well-regarded individuals from the independent media scene to discuss the varying perspectives of optimism (white pill) and pessimism (black pill) regarding current events. Responses from influential figures in alternative media are included, aimed at providing diverse and insightful viewpoints to the audience. The goal is for the listeners to gain deeper understanding and awareness of the situation by hearing from experts in the field.

James Corbett and Friends Deliver The White Pill! - #SolutionsWatch Transcription

00:00 - 00:30 welcome back friends welcome back to another edition of solutions watch I am your host James Corbett of corbettreport.com coming to you as always in from the sunny climbs of Western Japan in March of 2025 with another edition of everyone's favorite Solutions oriented podcast and this week on the D program we're going to take our cue for today's topic from a simple but interesting observation namely that there seems to be an interestingly coordinated effort at
00:30 - 01:00 least in the certain online spaces right now to try to get people to swallow the black pill you know the black pill the one that tells you that you are weak you are powerless you have no agency or control in your life the only thing that you can do is to select from the group of allars that will rule over you and you should be happy about that fact say the black pillars
01:00 - 01:30 these people try to tell you for example that you should vote and then trust that vote despite the fact that we know selection after selection after selection has been rigged in increasingly ridiculous ways no no no some somehow or other you should trust this particular recent selection where whoops somehow or other this multi-trillion doll multigenerational group of oligarchs and Psychopaths s have just oh oh my God the
01:30 - 02:00 people put their suggestion in the slave suggestion box and now these radicals and Maverick billionaires are somehow now populating the state the seats of deep state power and are totally going to drain the swamp with their AI algy now maybe you don't even know what the term algy means which I think is an interesting observation in and of itself but at any rate you get the idea there are people who are trying to get people to swallow that black pill and be
02:00 - 02:30 happy about it yay trust the plan enjoy the show doge is going to make America great again guys I'm a Canadian in Japan anyway yay get on board now of course what these black pillars fear the most is the white pill you know the white pill the one that says you are not Weak and Powerless and pathetic you it's not that you don't have agency in your life no the exact
02:30 - 03:00 opposite you are strong you are powerful you are a sovereign human being who has control and agency in your own life that you can take action with others around you to build a world that is better than the one that you were born into that is possible that is the white pill and what the black pillers really don't want you to see is that the whole Federal governmental stage show of selection politics and hey guys trust this group
03:00 - 03:30 of oligarchs all of that is the wool that has been pulled over your eyes to keep you from realizing that simple white pill truth you are strong it does matter what you think what you believe and the way that you act in this world and that is precisely why so much time and so much energy and so much money is spent propagandizing you 247 to support the establishment the
03:30 - 04:00 authoritarians the regime whichever regime is in power now the weirdest part about this coordinated effort that's going on on online right now to get you to swallow the black pill is that those black pillar are trying to invert reality they are saying that the white pill is the black pill and the black pill is the white pill so they are saying oh no those people who tell you that you are powerful and you are strong and that you
04:00 - 04:30 can actually do things to affect change in the world no that's the black pill man and the real white pill is just trusting the the the ruling oligarchs yay and if you don't trust them then you're a black pillar that is of course an exact inversion of reality but it is being propagated as I say in an interesting coordinated campaign right now to make you believe that for example the conspiracy realists who have been right over and over and over and over
04:30 - 05:00 about well every event of recent times from 9/11 on up now suddenly these people are just crazy conspiracy theorists no that label doesn't work anymore let's call them let's call them black pillars for trying to get people to swallow the white pill is this all a little bit confusing to you well don't worry because in this edition of solution watch I am going to be delving into this topic in Greater detail there I think there's a lot to parse out here and actually of course I
05:00 - 05:30 have a lot to say on this in my own ideas but today we're going to do something different today I have assembled an Allstar team of Independent Media Allstars to talk about this white pill black pill what is what is going on here and I have uh I have gotten some responses from some in really incredible people out there in the alternative media that I think you're going to want to listen to
05:30 - 06:00 for example Patrick Wood of technocracy newws I know you know his work by now if you have listened at the very least of my conversations with him but more importantly read his books and if you haven't now is a good opportunity to get acquainted uh I talked to Sam tripy of the tinfoil hat podcast I am sure people know of Sam and his work and his standup comedy also bringing truth to the masses uh I talked to Jason Bassel of the free thought project who has been a previous guest on Solutions watch and also does
06:00 - 06:30 incredible work over at the free thought project and Ryan Christian of the last American vagab Vagabond again someone that my regular viewers will no doubt be familiar with and if you're not well you will about you will be familiar with Ryan but having said that if if you are one of those Corbett report subscribers who was warming up his fingers or her fingers to start typing on your Furious
06:30 - 07:00 message about how the whole black pill white pill analogy is a false construct well don't worry you're going to want to stick around till the end of the episode where there will be a special appearance by a special guest who will not be named yet but who is a firsttime guest on the corate report and you will want to see see uh and hear what she says about this topic because it's probably along the lines of what you're thinking right now so let's dive in and get started and as as I say I'm sure that my regular wellin listeners already know about the the
07:00 - 07:30 black pill and the white pill let alone the blue pill and the red pill but of course all of this pill analogy comes from well maybe not originally originally but at least in recent times comes from the Matrix predictive programming Hollywood Trilogy uh quadrilogy oh yeah I keep forgetting about that anyway of course the blue pill you neo can take the blue pill and he can go back to sleep and forget everything he's learned or can take the red pill and wake up to the harsh
07:30 - 08:00 reality of the real world and of course the blue pill and red pill became a very common analogy and um conspiracy realists like to use that red pill term but recently black pill and white pill have been popularized black pill oh a Doomer who doesn't believe in any hope is a black pillar and a white pillar I suppose would be the exact opposite well here's hope and as I say I think the meaning of black pill and white pill is being inverted they're trying to get you
08:00 - 08:30 to swallow the black pill by calling it the white pill and vice versa but as I say there's a lot to say about this subject let's get into it with an interesting dissection of this black pill white pill analogy by Ryan Christian of the last American Vagabond hey guys Ryan Christian here from the last American Vagabond very interesting discussion here about white pill black pill and how much this has played a role even more so recently than in a very long time but for a while this
08:30 - 09:00 conversation's been swirling but I think it's important to think about you know the the difference of the terms right I mean this comes from the idea of most people thinking of the Matrix but a little before that a book and so on and different conversations around the idea being red pill being confronting the hard truth the blue pill being going back to sleep as were accepting you know ignoring the problem essentially then you have the black pill developing and the white pill where the black pill
09:00 - 09:30 becomes the acceptance of the bad thing right ah well the world's doomed it's too late now the white pill being I guess finding the positivity in that both being I think in my opinion false perceptions white being that no matter what it'll all work out trust them give them time black pill being no matter what they do we're going to fail so why Try interestingly both in the same kind of idea right let them deal with it either we're not going to be able to succeed or they've got it handled don't worry it's both it's kind of trust the
09:30 - 10:00 plan either way so what's important to think about is you know what are those terms meant to mean and the way that it is today they it's kind of boiled down into this idea where the black pill is becoming from a kind of partisan inversion of these terms the people trying to stop the problem and this has been something we've talked about for a very long time I I use the term regime change where at one point the very idea of regime change was kind of dismissed as a conspiracy theory then it be came over a long period of time something
10:00 - 10:30 that was you know it today regime change for democracy what's interesting about it is that when you think about it we say regime change or I say it and I'm thinking about a very clear surreptitious devious action and then in your mind you may be thinking of something entirely different in both naing along saying regime change that's how these terms are used and that's how I see it being played today where it's been inverted as a lot of us Steve from slow news day and plenty of others have pointed out the great inversion Derrick Rose included and I think that's what this this really is this flipping of the
10:30 - 11:00 terms to where now the black pill is essentially anything that is highlighting that what is happening isn't exactly what you might expect or want or plan for or hope is happening and that is the white pill right where they have just accepted it we believe in Trump or we believe in Biden and it's all going to work out and there's of course I think the majority of people that exist in the middle in that but why it's so important today as I think the point of the conversation is and I wouldn't go as far as to say that you know what is the white pill as in like we the the good versus the bad again I
11:00 - 11:30 kind of see both of them as like a all a hyperbolic version of the reality or really the overcompensation of each side so I think today what the important part is is to as always the core message I think we're always bringing is that that you are whatever term you think fits your own solution right you are the white pill if you think that means you know the the positive outcome but for me it's really just about finding the power in yourself realizing that nobody else out there is going to
11:30 - 12:00 come to save you that you are the only one that could affect change in your life or anywhere in your perception in the world around you and maybe you can work along with other people to make that happen in a more broad way but it comes down to your choices and your personal beliefs and what you do on a daily basis that changes people's lives around you and through that yourself something I've always said in general that I'll leave it on that I think is important I don't think anybody is just born a certain way that a good person a bad person I think there's a level of that to some degree and the world around
12:00 - 12:30 you changes that your parents your family what you're taught but every day it's a choice every single day you decide to be a certain person every single day and every action you make you decide you want to be this or you want to be that for different reasons and my mindset is this is that if you want to be a better person if you want to have integrity and principles and you just decide to do that and yeah you'll fall short you'll miss things we all make mistakes but you wake up the next day and you decide again you decide again you wake up again you decide again until it just becomes a part of your nebor it's something that I've picked up over
12:30 - 13:00 the years that I think is very important to think about that we have to make a conscious choice to be the white pill to be whatever you think it means and again back to the main point whatever the term is that you show the self-determination you show the self- responsibility and you follow the track that you think is going to benefit the world around you starting with your own choices but I do think it's important to see how these terms have been used and are being played and weaponized against us even terms that might have been positive once before it's all kind of lost meaning that's what I guess we're searching for
13:00 - 13:30 so thank you James for putting this on and including me as well so I hope that answers the question and let's keep questioning everything that of course is Ryan Christian of the last American Vagabond and if you don't know about his work you do now and I will of course link up his site in the show notes it is a valuable resource not only for Ryan's regular hours long daily wrapup in which he does he covers all of the breaking news as it is breaking and does a fantastic job of
13:30 - 14:00 that but of course also has assembled a team of writers on various subjects like Dereck Bros like Whitney web and others who do articles and even interviews for the last American Vagabond it's a valuable resource and precisely because it Hues to Ryan's core ethos of question everything and come to your own conclusions which I think gives a clue towards the direction in which he will obviously interpret this black pill white pill question the labels are
14:00 - 14:30 stupid and that to some extent it doesn't matter whatever you want to call yourself and if you want to call it white pill great do so but the important point is that the real power comes from us we have the power and I am 100% in concordance with that message and of course that is the ethos behind Solutions watch but if the labels don't matter black pill white pill whatever you call anything what does it matter as long as you are taking steps in the real
14:30 - 15:00 world to affect change in your life if it doesn't matter then why is there this coordinated attempt to smear any critics any wouldbe critics of the current ruling billionaire oligarchy the man for those who remember the recent edition of questions for Corbett why is there a coordinated smear attempt that's going on to try to put this black pill label on conspiracy realists well as it so happens exactly as I was mulling this
15:00 - 15:30 very question and considering how to put together an episode of solutions watch on this very question noticing the coordinated effort that's going on right now to try to smear critics of the current ruling regime it just so happens well it's very much a part of the Zeitgeist and it was picked up on and discussed in a very interesting thorough hour-long conversation on the free thought project podcast in which Sam tripley who I'm sure you probably know
15:30 - 16:00 from the tinf foil hat podcast but if not well again this is this is a good introduction and uh the link will be in the show notes um but Sam tripy was on the three free thought project podcast to discuss scops and spirituality why questioning Authority is never a black pill and they get into this very this very subject in a great degree of detail so I could not recommend this conversation strongly enough I think it is an important exploration of this topic so I will allow you to pause this
16:00 - 16:30 edition of solutions watch and go listen to that podcast in its [Applause] entirety all right now that you're back well excellent great so now you're excited and primed for a little bit more on the subject and it is in that spirit that I reached out to both Sam and the free thought project to provide a little bit more of their thoughts on specifically this framing of of the black pill white pill question and why
16:30 - 17:00 this smear is going around and first up we have Jason Bassler who you will recognize as one of the co-hosts of the free thought project podcast who had an interesting dissection of where this smear this black pill smear is coming from where the black pillars are trying to paint the white pill as the black pill where did this originate and why is it wrong this is Jason Bassler of the free thought project podcast
17:00 - 17:30 hey guys let's talk about this term blackpill for a second lightly I've seen a lot of people on the right use this term to dismiss anyone critical of trump and it reminds me a lot of how the left called people questioning Co policies a conspiracy theorist and where did that term conspiracy theorists come from well the CIA used it to discredit anyone skeptical of the JFK assassination and guess what guys it worked but here's the thing those so-called conspiracy theorists or as I call them conspiracy
17:30 - 18:00 realists have been right about coel Pro operation Mockingbird Jeffrey Epstein NSA surveillance fluoride lowering IQ and the list goes on and on so let's take this a step further with some Socratic questioning what if Trump Elon cash Patel and RFK Jr will fix it it's just a bedtime story to low you back to sleep what if the real black pill is vote for the lesser of two evils whereas James Corbett says what if trust the plan
18:00 - 18:30 enjoy the show are just distractions what if Elon is controlled opposition an amalgamation of intelligence agencies repackaged as a free speech hero to usher in a new era of technocratic control what if this is all part of a bigger agenda what then look support whoever you want to but I'm going to keep asking questions because questioning politicians billionaires and the government is always the morally correct position
18:30 - 19:00 history shows us that every regime regardless of the party will use every resource at its disposal to mislead divide and distract the public and just because your team is in power doesn't mean that magically changes as Thomas Jefferson said the price of freedom is eternal vigilance and it's so important that we don't fall into the Trap of black and white thinking don't support Doge well you're just blackpilled don't support Maga well you just hate America don't support Trump you're obviously a comma supporter don't support bombing
19:00 - 19:30 civilians I guess you're just an anti-semite see how this works guys blind loyalty always leads to tunnel vision now let me ask you another question what sounds like the real black pill here a we're doomed either way so we had to pick Trump as the lesser of two evils just trust the plan or B we can't rely on corrupt politicians to save us we can only save ourselves look I've been called blackpilled and accused of TDS just for
19:30 - 20:00 asking these questions but the truth is I'm the guy in the middle we need more critical thinkers who aren't emotionally tied to their political identity that can offer level-headed analysis and the funny thing is because of my willingness to ask these counterintuitive questions I get labeled blackpilled or negative or Doomer when nothing could be further from the truth I have a beautiful family I have a great career doing the work that I love and I'm happy you know at the end of our podcasts we
20:00 - 20:30 always ask our guests for a white pill because while it's easy to focus on the Doom and Gloom we also need to focus on Solutions if we want to change the world it starts with us not by forcing our will on others but by Leading by example so I'll leave you with this what do you think is the real white pill and who's trying to keep us from taking it let me know your thoughts in the [Music] comments an excellent response from Jason Bassler of the free thought project and I hope you are following the
20:30 - 21:00 free thought project not only for conversations like that one that hopefully you just listen to with Sam tripol but many others like it and much other information and content besides and for people who do listen to that podcast you will know that they really do end every single podcast by asking the guest for a white pill something that can give people confidence inspire people to take action in the real world to do things to affect change and I always admire people who are looking for the things that we can do in this world that's why I support the free thought
21:00 - 21:30 project podcast I think it is a great podcast and it's worth your time and attention and on that note um you might also note that I do get ideas from for Solutions watch from the free thought project uh on a regular basis so hats off to those guys into Jason Bassler but as I said hopefully you have listened to that conversation with Sam triply so you'll know that Sam brings in another dimension another angle to this question of what is what is the white pillin how do you get people to swallow it or can
21:30 - 22:00 you get people to swallow it and Sam approaches it from a different direction namely that of spirituality and what does that mean in his formulation and how does that relate to this whole question of what is truly empowering what is Hope what is hopium ETC well let's listen to Sam so I put the question to Sam what is the real white pill and who is keeping you from swallowing it and this is Sam's response so the question is
22:00 - 22:30 um what is the real white pill and who is trying to to stop us from swallowing that's a great question I kind of was talking about all the different pills the the blue the white to the black and that's kind of had it ordered and then I just after thinking about it so much today the truth is the white pill is the last pill the white pill is the understanding that you know you can't save anybody and that the power resides inside you this really is it I've been on this journey for a very long time
22:30 - 23:00 trying to get information to wake up people to what's going on I just realize that most people can't comprehend it and don't truly care uh so they get to this kind of place to understand that real change real real growth real understanding of how the world works is to look from within that to me is the white pill a lot of people want to say the black pill the black pill is there's no hope I think it's demonized you know there's people out there that think the
23:00 - 23:30 black pill is a CIA scop the label of black pill and and that you get no hope uh that is possible I think the black pill is just a truly understanding of of of the of of the experience of the world and how the elites have tried to control it and dominate and a and go after uh humanity and that's what to me the black pill is but the next step after that is the white pill the white pill is the one that truly lets you know
23:30 - 24:00 that the best way to deal with it is to look inside you want to make change you got to make change from the inside that's how it goes and by by changing your life from the inside you are an example to others okay on how to change their life and that's how it goes when I go on the road and people are always like Sam you know you change my life that means the world to me because they saw the example of like just me looking inside I'm done trying to save people it's it's you can't do it if you don't get it by you're not going to get it but the best way to do the white pill which
24:00 - 24:30 to me is getting closer to Nature you know that that culture gets you farther from God farther from nature a a and spirituality get you closer to God get you closer to Nature and the Order of nature that's to me what the white pill is are you acting High vibrational low vibrational to be lost in the blue pill you know to be uh turned off or feel H hopeless from
24:30 - 25:00 hearing black pill stuff that to me is low vibrational High vibrational is like the only thing I can changeed myself and that's kind of what I'm doing the closer I get to God the the more my anxiety goes down and I'm a happier person the farther I get from God the more my anxiety goes up and I'm not happy and I'm not a happy person and I'm living in misery so my opinion is the white pill is the understanding that you true change comes from within you know I just want to say this that everything I've
25:00 - 25:30 ever learned in recovery our culture tells me the exact opposite everything I ever learned in recovery was I am where I am based on the decision I made and the actions I've taken culture says it's not your fault it's their fault you can't control it's out of your hands to me everything's about taking control of yourself not kind of having this whole be um pacified you know don't take any action someone else is going come save it h that's not it is the true punk rock the true punk
25:30 - 26:00 rock is to know that I I am I am a sovereign being I am the king of my kingdom and I can control everything and that's the way I make changes by showing others how to get out of the Matrix and the people who want to stop that are these old old Elite families who've made deals with Darkness who knows how deep it goes secret societies these I call Energy vampires uh they feed off our
26:00 - 26:30 sadness our depression and all that stuff and they want control us because they made de deals with dark entities and that's where it's at and through data they know who the psychopaths are and that's how they control us over years and years of scops of thousands of years because they need to control us they need to divide us because we are the powerful they are the few and if we actually came together and stop fighting over stupid stuff the world would be an amazing place so that's my opinion the white pill is the true understanding
26:30 - 27:00 that no matter what they do you control your destiny and you have to look within and make the changes within you know you are where you are based on the decisions you made and the actions you've taken and if you want to change your life you got to change your life okay if you want change you got to make change and that's my opinion Sam makes some important and provocative points there that I hope people will at the very least Cate on and it's something that I've addressed
27:00 - 27:30 before and that have I've definitely encountered from many many people writing into me over the years oh I can't wake up this particular person how do I wake up this particular person and as I have explained before for example in questions for Corbett you can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep you cannot wake up another human being all you can do is provide facts evidence information reason arguments Etc but it's up to them and it's that the inverse of that is that it's up to
27:30 - 28:00 you as to how you interact with the world what you do in the world and as I think Sam very rightly observes the most powerful form of persuasion I suppose if you could even call it that is to live by example to be the change you want to see in the world and other people will see that and gravitate towards it if it's working and I think that is the way to really affect change so some very important points there from Sam tripy
28:00 - 28:30 and if you're not familiar with his work of course please become familiar with it I would assume most of my audience is familiar at the very least with the tinfoil hat podcast but if you are interested in Sam you can of course check out all of his work including the tinfoil hat podcast including his premium content for members including his St latest standup uh comedy special why is everybody getting quiet which is available at sam.com so that link will be in the show notes as well if you'd like to follow that that okay good all
28:30 - 29:00 right I think we have a pretty firm firmly established basis for what we're talking about today and why we're talking about it yes black pill trust the plan enjoy the show you're just a power powerless weak individual you have to bow down to the oligarchs and anyone who doesn't oh you better watch out for those people that's the black pill the white pill is taking action making change in the real world excellent yes but what does that mean I know that I'm the type of person
29:00 - 29:30 listening to this type of podcast by this point I would be saying yes yes yes but what does that mean what are the nuts and bolts tell me in actual steps what can people actually do and how should they be doing it well I'm glad you asked of course if you are a regular Corbit report listener you will already be equipped to know at least the start of the answer to that question and how to find out more information on it for example in the solutions watch podcast but in more generally in all of the work that I do which is pointing people to a very very important part of this puzzle
29:30 - 30:00 namely that the most powerful tool of control that the oligarchs have ever invented is the mass media the media Matrix of course is what has ins snared us all and increasingly so as we go more and more and more into this completely mediated Universe where almost all of the information that we get now is coming well not even through books or any other form of media at this point not the radio no it's coming through
30:00 - 30:30 your digital screens and of course that is the most powerful tool of control because every second that you spend immersing yourself in the digital world staring at that screen engaging in flame Wars with the other smartphone zombies out there that you'll never meet and never will and who may may or may not even actually exist they may just be Bots whatever just spend your time on that screen on that screen and for every second that you are track in the media Matrix is another second that you are not out in the real
30:30 - 31:00 world taking action and affecting real change right right so really ideally once you really get the point of all of this I really do hope people okay I I get it and I don't need I don't need this piece of media in my life anymore I don't need that media anymore and if you come to the conclusion I don't need the corporate report in my life anymore I get it great okay you've graduated youve graduated to the next level now go out there and start taking action in the
31:00 - 31:30 real world that would be the greatest win for a dprogram like Solutions watch having said that I know that everyone's at different stages of waking up to that reality so I turned to another Independent Media Allstar to get his uh uh perspective on what people can do to start taking action in the real world that person is Patrick Wood and as I say you will know Patrick Wood by now at the very least from our many previous conversations on the subject of
31:30 - 32:00 technocracy which hopefully as I say also you have probably hopefully already read Patrick's um books on technocracy he has a book Trilogy on that very subject talking about this very era that we are now suddenly immersed in and everyone is starting to see talking about these AI algorithms that are going to be algorithmically running the government and making it so much more efficient tech support for the government guys what is technocracy
32:00 - 32:30 anyway well of course the answers are in Patrick Wood's books they're at technocracy news and as I say I hope my regular listeners are familiar with those Resources by now but are you familiar with the local activist accelerator at www.local activist. org well if not you're about to be because of course that is what Patrick Wood is going to talk to us about when it comes to this question of the white pill and
32:30 - 33:00 empowering ourselves to make change in the world well what does that mean once you've swallowed the white pill what do you do well Patrick Wood has some ideas and here they [Music] are welcome I'm Patrick Wood for technocracy news and Trends you probably already know that there's something going on Visa the Cuda of tech technocracy and transhumanism these days
33:00 - 33:30 if you don't understand it get boned up on it here here's some resources for you you got to appreciate a cartoon once in a while here's Calvin and Hobbs talking about the superheroes who basically like to F fight the the evil Maniacs with grandio plans to destroy the world and Calvin figures out well why don't the superheroes go after more subtle realistic bad guys uh then Hobs chimes in yeah the
33:30 - 34:00 superhero could attct attend Council meetings and write letters and stuff to the to the to the editors yeah he I see the problem so anyway um you get the idea a great cartoon this is the problem though however people don't want to be involved in local action at this point that this this is going to change big time local action is where it is at this
34:00 - 34:30 point not slapping slamming your TV you you can't change anything in the National politics stage anyway but when your life is affected and it will be if it's not already your your life is going to be affected you will you will take action locally for things like jobs housing food health safety these are very personal issues and nobody can solve them except us individually and you can go to your
34:30 - 35:00 local politicians this is so critical to protect your community and your persons from harm they're the only last defense you have at this point maybe you don't if you live in a big city that might be kind of hard if there you could go to your neighborhood leader leadership perhaps but um you have to make uh a concerted effort to contact these people to make sure they understand their job is
35:00 - 35:30 to protect you from any harm and under other you know things relating to infrastructure Etc well when you go to local officials always go two by two don't go on your own you need a witness uh to involve and basically to record and film everything to hold them accountable not to be rude necessarily but just make sure that they understand you're dead serious that you want your
35:30 - 36:00 neighborhood your family to be protected and that's their job that's your only job at this point then organize neighborhood groups to build relationships we must have relationships with real people not online people not Bots not AI whatever you have to have relationships with real people in the future this is so important I just cannot stress this enough so is it's really easy to get to get together with a group of neighbors you don't don't
36:00 - 36:30 worry about what their politics is just say hey can we just get get together and talk about stuff what's going to happen if if we have a food shortage for instance if somebody lose their job because of AI or health issues or whatever you can PE you can talk with people and they don't have to be offended at all these are just basically basic uh human concern concerns that you have then if you need help uh in uh to
36:30 - 37:00 be trained in Civic engagement we have a great organization called local activist. org this is part of citizens forfree speech.org which I happened to be the founder of in N 2018 but we have a great uh training program to help our citizens understand how to approach people in leadership in your local Community you don't want to blow them away because you make if you make an ene
37:00 - 37:30 enemy of somebody then that won't help you at all but uh you you can learn great skills to uh to to be effective in your local community any in any case I'm Patrick Wood for technocracy news and Trends thanks for listening once again that of course is Patrick Wood of technocracy newws and also www.local activist. or and I hope you will follow the link from the show notes
37:30 - 38:00 if you are at all interested in that concept of local activism actually taking taking part in the world literally physically around you rather than watching the theatrics of this stage show that's happening on the screen about people thousands of miles away from you that may or may not that you probably have absolutely no control over well anyway as I say that's an example of talk talking about the real world and the community around you and things that you can do to form relationships and build community and
38:00 - 38:30 take steps that will have an effect on your real world life so as I say the link will be in the show notes for those who are interested in following up on that and I hope they will Avail themselves of that resource but once again if I know my well-informed and critically thinking audience and I think I do you may by this point in a podcast like this one you may be ready to just reject the entire framing of this episode as I say warming up the fingers
38:30 - 39:00 to start leaving the comment black pill and white pill is a nonsense Framing and I I reject it completely good I I agree I think you're on the right track and it is in that context that we're going to talk to our next guest here on the D program someone who has not appeared on the corporate report before that would be Naomi Wolf Dr Naomi wolf who I'm sure you are familiar with from her work throughout the year probably in the most recent context from
39:00 - 39:30 her work at Daily clout or her work on the fizer papers but it is in that context that recently Naomi wolf wrote a couple of pieces that gained quite a bit of notoriety and attention online although maybe not in the right way for the right reasons maybe for the right reasons if you really think about it what am I talking about well I suggest you go and check out these posts if you haven't yet one of them is called the sack of Rome Elon Musk digital coup and the other is called how not to be a
39:30 - 40:00 patriot and they are available for free reading at her substack and that those links will be in the show notes I suggest you do because you will be able to read through those articles and see that she makes some pretty levelheaded points not off the rails hyperventilating but pretty levelheaded points about how it might not be a wonderful great idea to allow a private businessman like Elon Musk who oh just happened to make his hundreds of billions by being a private contractor
40:00 - 40:30 for the Deep state to snarf up all of the data of the federal government in completely opaque ways while oh by the way that afores said individual is busily creating his own AI godhead SLG grock engine maybe there's something we should have a little bit of caution over here may maybe this might not be a great idea and you would read those articles and think yes okay I understand the point she's making and then you would
40:30 - 41:00 look at the response that those articles received and you'll think what on Earth is going on here almost as if there was a coordinated attempt to smear anyone raising any questions at all about Doge or about anything that's happening in the world right now as oh this is a a black pillar you can't listen to this person in that inversion of the black pill white pill meaning that I talked about at the beginning of today's D program so it was in that context that I was interested to talk to Naomi wolf about not only her work but more
41:00 - 41:30 specifically the response to that work and the type of push back she's received and the fact that people are now calling her black pill because she is not 100% totally on board and completely ready to submit all of all of her information and the information of every other American at the very least to Elon Musk I I wanted to ask her about this black pill label and the way she approaches it and what the white pill might actually be but as I say if you're sick of this black pill white pill framing you will enjoy her answer as
41:30 - 42:00 much as I do so let's approach this from the opposite direction then because if the black pill is refers to people who have no hope they're Doom and Gloom spreaders and they won't get on board with the latest train whatever that is what is the white pill what is what is Hope what can you positively offer to people about things that are actually improving and ways that people can Empower themselves to make make this world a better place well I don't know if you're going
42:00 - 42:30 to like my answer but um I have to just be frank I I would ask you to reject that framing altogether like we are in a time in which and and AI helps do this right in which we're encouraged to think along preset templates and to embrace them and so this whole Nexus of red pill black pill white pill you know is is a a dumb
42:30 - 43:00 superimposition on our thought process it's as bad as conspiracy theorist or antivaxer right because it asks us to it asks us to be punished for a certain line of inquiry or to punish ourselves in advance or oh I don't want to raise that because then I'll be you know in the black pill camp or in the you know blue pill camp or a normie or a non-n normi and you know I just like there is a our enemies want us to be dumb right they want us to stop critical
43:00 - 43:30 thinking they want us to not have highquality debate civil debate which is the best and most productive kind of debate um they want us to divide into stupid tribes and I just see like one set of stupid tribes vax versus unvax say is like out the window you know Ukraine flag versus no Ukraine flag is out the window and now it's like oh let's carve up the new you know power structure in the following stupid way or
43:30 - 44:00 the new in kids and out kids you know at the high school cafeteria tables in a in a new way so I'm just always going to reject that you know and I'm always going to say like what are we talking about what are the merits what's the evidence right but I if you want to say what am I hopeful about I think I mean that's part of why I'm not even engaging with this black pill thing because I've been called so many names and all of them are nonsense right it's nonsense that I was a conspiracy theorist it's nonsense that I was an antivaxer
44:00 - 44:30 although maybe now it's true you know it's nonsense that I was a Trumper it's nonsense that I was a you know whatever you know people who say I'm a deep State operative like that's nonsense and false and defamatory it's all nonsense right um and and I know I'm over the Target because I read a lot of history and people like Martin Luther King and Walt Whitman get called so many names until history kind of settles on the fact that they were right all along
44:30 - 45:00 um largely so you know that anyone who knows my work is going to know that it's absolutely ridiculous to call me black pill that's a coercive kind of Bot that is basically the kind of Bot that's also saying all our data is out there and by the way if people don't know why there's a fight I wrote an two essays now warning as a tech CEO that the way way Elon Musk was engaging with our data
45:00 - 45:30 raised huge red flags like fatal catastrophe irreversible red flags about cyber security you know and um destroying destroying the presidency destroying Congress destroying the government much as you may hate the government you don't you know you don't want the only authority to be Ai and Elon Musk and his six Broar friends right so so that that was my criticism um but I
45:30 - 46:00 you know I'm seeing lots of bots say this is so dumb they have all our data anyway well that's a dumb criticism for reasons I can give you they may you know our data may have been hacked or released in multiple ways multiple times but no one has had access to the most valuable pristine Trove of data remaining which is the US government and as as a result no one is able to create filters as Elon Musk can now very easily
46:00 - 46:30 uh to create a control grid with the Social Security data and the Medicaid data and your contracts of your business and your census information all of that now TurnKey can be a China style control grid there are other problems um but I guess I guess what I would say is you know I recognize these attacks so well now it's like okay here are some critics let's generate some digital um
46:30 - 47:00 rep repetitive uh criticisms or mockery that will deter people from following them or taking them seriously so black pill is one you know they've got all our data anyway is one you're disloyal to president Trump is one although probably that has more Grassroots support um but it's just stupid and and it's stupid because our job as Citizens again is to ask every question and you know
47:00 - 47:30 see every piece of every record that's not classified belongs by law to the American people so um we should be going over literally we should be able to see in a database on the Doge website which doesn't exist yet every program that was cancelled you know every um every action they're recommend in we should be able to search it by keyword none of that is
47:30 - 48:00 available to us so it's just one awesome headline after another and I'm cheering you know of course the revelation of waste Fraud and Abuse just like everyone else but the point I keep making is musk could generate all those headlines for the president in a cyber secure way and in a way that doesn't risk stealing our IP or copying RP um you know sucking up everything we are into his AI right who owns the AI that he's using it AI is not
48:00 - 48:30 owner neutral it there's an AI arms race um you know and we have to as Citizens think through things I mean I'm kind of bunching my concerns Al together but as Citizens we have to think through and debate things like okay if if AI is running big chunks of the government and and it restricts your rights whom do you sue like the courts don't even understand these issues well enough enough to adjudicate about them um and
48:30 - 49:00 and there aren't answers I mean AI is I keep trying to explain it's it's not neutral right when AI goes into especially someone else's AI goes into our protected data sets and much as we may hate the government it's it's a very relatively clean way to protect data sets in the United States compared to other countries and one once Elon musk's AI eats you know an just say an email
49:00 - 49:30 every week from our intelligence agencies right then you can there's no it that that information is liberated it's liberated from secrecy and it's liberated from any accountability and so whoever has access to his to wherever he's storing it right and we don't know where he's storing it right why is there a cloud computing guy with him that was a big red flag to me
49:30 - 50:00 um but whoever has access to that data can do a search and find every FBI operation against Chinese sleeper cells in the United States and hand that file to China or you know what cartels are in our inner cities selling fenel and what operatives are Undercover from the FBI trying to disrupt that hand that file to the cartels so it's it's the biggest
50:00 - 50:30 national security breach in history like it all at once he can do more than any spy has ever done to destroy our national security and what I don't feel the Trump team and their advisers I mean now maybe they're getting a clue because there are these you know there's this push back from different agencies who are Trump you know appointees but um I don't think I just don't think
50:30 - 51:00 president Trump and his his advisers understand the the technology you know the technical risks and since they put the people who initially tried to protect the treasury data on administrative leave you've got this very dangerous situation in which internal technologists in the government will be scared to say to the president or up the chain of command you know this is so dangerous for X reason or you don't want these Engineers to plug their
51:00 - 51:30 own computers into our systems for this reason right um or you know be sure to get a non-compete from every engineer so that they can't just copy the IP which our tax dollars have generated and use it for their own purposes I mean any number of problems you're a very good listener so I I just keep babbling on what my concerns are you have raised so many important points there but I mean just
51:30 - 52:00 on that latter Point alone as someone who has been talking about technocracy for 15 years now I I never expected that it would arrive in such a blatant fashion and be welcomed with open arms by so many people but that being what it is you predicted I would not like your answer in fact I love your answer because I think it gets to the heart of what is always the strategy of the oligarchs divide and Rule and classifying people into certain groups
52:00 - 52:30 so that they can then fight amongst each other and what better system could possibly result from that than a self- sorting system where people oh I'm black Bill I'm red Bill I'm white bill I'm blue Bill okay great take the rainbow pill but uh how about we concentrate on where power actually lies in society and clearly in this day and age power lies in the Techno technocrats and would be technological oligarchs and on that note of course of course you did make reference to daily clout tell people what daily clout is and what you do
52:30 - 53:00 there thank you it's very exciting um it's well because I was a political consultant I saw that laws were uh written lobbied for and passed at the federal level but also at the state level without the involvement of the citizens or or you know with very little um ability of the citizens to understand what was going on and and have input uh and this benefited you know special interests of course because there were
53:00 - 53:30 fewer people to satisfy with a given piece of legislation and um also you know millions and billions of dollars could be transferred to people's cronies or donors with a with a clause in a peaceful legislation so this is not how our system is supposed to work so I realized that the solution had to be digital so I uh founded or co-founded this company 13 years ago called cloud and we built a fantastic our first
53:30 - 54:00 product is a digital database this is much less boring than it may sound just if you'll bear with me a digital database um where you can search any state or federal Bill where the first people who you know synthesized those into one place and made it interactive and then you can share that bill through social media and so it's all and you can track it in real time you can see who the sponsors are so people have had a huge impact on state and federal legislation by just you know sharing and
54:00 - 54:30 comment commenting on a given bill you know like oh here's this Healthcare bill they say it you know they're saying on the talk shows that it covers um cancer as a as a pre-existing condition well here on page 62 it doesn't they're lying you know and then like since it's all done in public the the people who are writing the Bill will change it you know in in real time when they get the push back from citizens and it doesn't even take that much um you know because because
54:30 - 55:00 it's embarrassing right like you know there's a bad bill this you know this bill and that's part of why I was so alert to what Elon Musk was doing a lot of bills transfer the IP which is very valuable from the government to stakeholders who turn out to be Silicon Valley VCS or technologists that's our that's our property that's our intellectual property we paid for it we developed it um so anyway back to daily
55:00 - 55:30 Cloud that's billcam and we also create videos and blogs explaining legislation and uh and just following democracy around the world um and we also have two other products which are very exciting one is called legis sector where you can um it's more of a businessto business platform where you can search and have a live feed of legislation affecting your industry so if you're in real estate you get real estate legislation you know Health Care you know infrastructure
55:30 - 56:00 defense energy cannabis whatever it is and now we've got communities which is a censorship free surveillance free Facebook alternative where you can start a community around an issue raise money and so on so that's what we do and um we have been really successful with United States but there are 132 democracies so we hope to now start building Bill camps for major democracies around the world so other people have this transparency but like to be less nerdy for a
56:00 - 56:30 minute it's what we do at Daily clout which is create code that sorts through vast government data sets and then lift out what we want people to pay attention to is kind of exactly what doge is supposed to be doing and that's why I understood exactly how scary his methodology was um you know on many levels technology is a tool of empowerment for
56:30 - 57:00 the people so that they can actually have transparency and see into what the government is doing wow imagine that imagine actually looking at that way instead of this way yes surveillance State can go both ways and so that is empowering I'm glad to hear that that is a nice hopeful way to wrap up this conversation but uh Naomi I hope we can talk again in the future about the fiser papers and other things that you've been working on absolutely thank you so much for having me and by the way may I say where people can go to find us yes please yeah thank you uh please go to daily cloud. to see what we're doing and
57:00 - 57:30 become a subscriber or a donor there and you can find me and my substack outspoken on substack um and I'm naom R wolf on Twitter now X thank you very much it's a pleasure to speak with you all right friends that is Naomi Wolf's response to this question and as I say I do like that answer I think it is a good answer to the question because yes it is the old The age-old Divide and Rule tactic to get people to categorize
57:30 - 58:00 classify label and thus completely dismiss entire sections of the population I can call you black pill I can call you blue pill and then never have to listen to anything you say because you are that thing is a stupid way of thinking about anything and it in fact is actually only used to prevent us from thinking deeply about subject matter so if after all of this discussion you are ready to throw the entire black pill white pill blue pill
58:00 - 58:30 red pill Pharmacy in the garbage and never think about it again I am actually completely supportive of such a decision uh to the extent that it hinders people from actually thinking deeply about subjects now conversely if you want to think of the white pill as personal empowerment and thinking that well what you do and the way that you act in the world is important and that you do have a role to play in the act of creation of a better world rather than as a spectator to some spectacle on some
58:30 - 59:00 political theater show that's taking place thousands of miles away well great think of it that way it doesn't really matter so long as that what you are doing is actually activating and becoming a uh an an actor in the real world rather than watching actors on a stage anyway um there's a lot of information that has been encoded here today in responses from many different people and
59:00 - 59:30 all of the links to all of these people's work will be in the show notes and I would highly suggest if anything that you've heard today catch caught your attention your interest if you haven't familiarized yourself with these people's work before I hope you will do so I think they all have interesting perspectives to bear on what is taking place around them and you can call them white pill or whatever pill you want but maybe we'll just call them human beings who have an interest in perspective that bears listening to on that note I think
59:30 - 60:00 we'll leave this exploration here today and well I'll be back once again next week with another edition of solutions watch as we continue going forward exploring the various ways that we can actually make change in the real world I hope you'll be there with me for that I'll have plenty of other content coming forth at corbettreport.com in the meantime thank you for investing your time in this exploration and I'm looking forward to talking to you again in the near future
