SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
Hi, my name is Brendan Ecker, and I just wanted

(00:02):
to leave my comments on theevents that are happening and
trending currently on X.

SPEAKER_02 (00:06):
In a way we go.
So remember about a week and ahalf ago, I made a video about
this tweet, Candace sayingthere's a 9-11 style attack
happening the second week ofDecember.
Well, it happened.
Because not one, but two massshootings happened within 24
hours of each other, startingwith this one at Brown
University, where two are deadand eight are in critical

(00:27):
condition.
Then we have this one thathappened at Bonnie Beach,
Australia, where 12 are unalive,including one of the shooters,
making this Australia'sdeadliest shooting in three
decades.
Now, make no mistake about it,just like 9-11 being a false
flag PSY-op, these are falseflag psy-ops.
Which means the events are real,the victims are real, but who

(00:47):
and what behind it is much morenefarious than you think with
somebody pulling the strings.
I mean, can anybody tell me why?
Not one, but two survivors fromthe Brown University shooting
were also survivors in twoseparate shootings, one in
California and one in Florida.
Now I know school shootings inAmerica are pretty frequent,
which is a stat not to be proudof, but what are the chances?

(01:09):
Then there's this where BrettSmiley, the mayor of Rhode
Island, where Brown took place,his name shows up in the Google
Trend searches 24 hours beforethe shooting in Israel.
Not to mention one of theshooters in Bondai, Naveed
Akram, we know everything abouthim within minutes, but nothing
about the Brown Universityshooter as they're still trying

(01:30):
to figure that out.
And his name also shows up inGoogle Trends 24 hours before in
Tel Aviv, China, in Cyprus.
What?
Even this witness at BondaiBeach said he saw the shooters
before policemen approached butdidn't shoot back.

(01:54):
But it gets even weirder becausethere's another survivor who
survived a previous attack inthe October 7th attacks in
Israel, who had time to take aselfie during the Bandai
massacre.
Got it.
Now his name is Arson Travinsky.
Now please note this happened onthe first day of Hanukkah.

(02:14):
Yeah, the same date, December14th, that Sandy Hook took
place.
You can't make this shit up.
And last but not least, shoutout to this guy, Armin L.
Armin, a 43-year-old fruit shopowner who stopped one of the
gunmen at Bondai Beach.
He's breaking the narrative,being that he's a Muslim
stopping other Muslims from thisattack.
So true on that mainstreammedia.

(02:41):
But let me know what you guysthink about all this down below.

SPEAKER_00 (02:52):
But it is also being debated that he could be a part
of Israeli Mossad.
That being because his name wastrending in Google search.
And well, not trending, butspiking.
And there was essentially 11searches that were shown, at
least in the screenshot, thescreen recording that was taken
and posted on X.
And so this has been circulatingon X.

(03:13):
It's been debated.
Is this man Israel Mossad, or isthis man an Islamic terrorist?

SPEAKER_01 (03:26):
Many of them celebrating the first night of
Hanukkah.
The attack lasted about 10minutes.
The shooters fired long rifles,including the 24th shotgun,
Uresh and BRX1, straight polerifle, pump option shotguns, and
a bolt action rifle with a reddot side.
Twelve lives were lost,including 11 civilians and one
gunman killed by police.
One of those eleven was a child.
Twenty-nine others were wounded,including two police officers
and a heroic bystander.
Perpetrators Navid Akram, aPakistani national.

(03:48):
The other one, allegedly animperial immigrant who lived in
Australia for about 10 years.
A man named Ahmed, who's a43-year-old Muslim man, brave
who was caught and disarmed oneof these gunmen.
He is getting called a traitoronline for disarming these men
by his own people.
Imagine that.
He's getting called a traitorfor stopping these men who are
shooting into a crowd of people.
I can't show you most of thevideos, because if I show them,
I'll get banned.
But it is dead bodies lying onthe beach, covered in blood.

(04:10):
I think people should see them,but I can't show them.

The question is (04:12):
why are these people allowed into countries
full of people they supposedlydespise, hate, want the worst
for?
But we're opening the doors forthem.
Not us, but the politicians,those in charge.
Those in charge, those samepoliticians today, it will put
out statements saying thatthey're shocked and they're
appalled at what happened on thebeach.
Even though we know if nothingchanges, it's going to happen
again.
We know it's happened in thepast, but they'll wait until the
next time and they can recyclethe same post they posted today,

(04:32):
where they're shocked andappalled it happened.
Instead of coming to theconclusion, we'd be better off
sending these people home.
They're going no place theydon't know, they're going back
home.
If it is true that this Algerianmigrant had lived in Australia
for 10 years, and one day hedecided to get up, grab a few
guns, and start shooting at acrowd of a thousand people,
hoping to kill as many as hecould, killing a child.
What does that say about thestate of things?
He was in Australia for 10 yearsand he decides to do that.
These people have to be senthome.

(04:53):
Muslim Brotherhood, perhaps.

SPEAKER_00 (04:54):
Again, we have a second event, which is the Brown
University shooting, where wehave, again, nine injured and
two who were unfortunatelykilled.
According to Cash Patel and theFBI, they have apprehended a
suspect, but they're not sure ifhe's the actual shooter.
Um, no news has been updated onthat.
By the time I post this, theyprobably may have more

(05:15):
information.
And there's actually a thirdevent that's trending on Twitter
X right now, and that is thelone ISIS gunman that ambushed
US forces in Palmyra, Syria,which killed two American
soldiers and one civilianinterpreter, wounding three
others.
There is very much a possibleconnection to Mossad.
I think Mossad may have a lot todo with these events that we're

(05:36):
seeing trending on next.
These separate events, thesethree events that we're
discussing, why are they in soimportant?
Well, they're simultaneous.
48-hour time period.
Um, less than that, actually.
I think it's actually about a 36um hour time period.
If you really connect the dots,all of it kind of made sense for
digital ID, mass surveillance,legislation for these things, of

(05:59):
course, also gun-restricted gunrestrictions and more gun laws,
if not trying to take the gunsaway.
And then again, trying to reallyperpetrate a war in the Middle
East in Iran.
What Netanyahu wants, we seeNetanyahu making statements on
it.
Now, of course, he would.
Of course, Netanyahu would wantto make statements on the um

(06:20):
Sydney Australia event.
That would make sense, logicallyspeaking, of course.
We need to consider that we arebeing manipulated at a 9-11
Psyop scale.
Have to consider these things.
In a world where you areconstantly being allied to and
where narratives are constantlytrying to be controlled, you
have to consider that perhapsyour government, other
governments are working intandem to disenfranchise you and

(06:43):
perhaps to enrich themselves.
There's so much informationhappening.
You can't even keep up with itall.
I've been following MarioNauphal.
I think he's really great onacts.
I think he stays up withinformation super quick.
And I think it's ratherimportant that we all take into
consideration um the level ofviolence that's happening and
why you need to never resort toviolence.
We don't need to do that.

(07:04):
The smarter way to win is bystrategy, by success, and by
really just using the system.
No matter who you are, if you'reMuslim, if you're Jewish, if
you're white, which I'm white,you know, I'm Christian, and I
believe that America should stayAmerica.
I'm a full believer that we needto completely end mass

(07:26):
migration.
It's destroying the West andWestern civilization itself,
along with Europe, which againis the epitome of Western
civilization.
All of America was built up ofour ancestors who came from
Ireland, Germany, Scotland, youknow, the UK, Great Britain, of
course, Spain, Poland, and thenSweden.
So the point is we need topreserve our identity, our

(07:47):
Western civilization, where wecome from.
America was built by the whiteman.
Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, butit's just true.
If you have a problem with that,then you're you're arguing with
history.
And that's just a problem.
That's something you're havingan issue with.
That's your own problems.
But the truth is the truth.
The facts are the facts.
As Ben Shapiro said, facts don'tcare about feelings.

(08:09):
And I believe that.
We need to consider thateverything we're seeing now is
absolutely a psychologicaloperation to manipulate us into
possibly a digital ID.
We're seeing the UK do this now.
That's why I'm bringing that up.
We need to be smart enough toactually speak about it, to make
these kind of videos.
We're being accused all the timeof being bots.
And I think if you're beinghonest with yourself, perhaps

(08:31):
that's true in some lights withmany of us.
You know, if you're not reallyputting your opinion out there,
you're not truly actuallyputting real skin in the game,
really giving your opinion,talking to the camera, talking
about the issues, doesn't itshow in many ways that you don't
truly care enough?
And every other race does care,every other country cares.
So I love the United States ofAmerica, I love Christianity,

(08:52):
Catholicism, it should stay inthis country.
America is a Christian Catholiccountry.
What's happening is tragic, andwe need to call to end all
violence as Christians.
We need to come together, weneed to find the truth, seek the
truth, to not just believewhat's being told, not to just
follow the algorithm, not tofollow your favorite
influencers, but to think forthyself.
You need to be able to formulateopinions on your own, and you

(09:15):
need to be able to come to aconsensus that makes sense.
You know, you can use grok withTwitter X today.
What's great about Twitter X isthat you can use Grok.
You just right here in the topright hand corner of all of
these posts, let's just see,right?
You can Grok each Grocopedia iswhat I'm talking about, and it's
gonna fact check your entirepost.

(09:36):
It's gonna examine the tweet,it's gonna examine the entire
backstory of whatever it isyou're trying to get the
information for.
And this is why I love X.
And so I think everybody shouldstart using this.
I actually make a lot of myposts like this.
What I'll do is I'll just copythis and then I'll go, maybe
I'll just go back, I'll make apost on it, whatever it is, then

(09:58):
I'll paste.
You just click paste, and thenI'll kind of go through, I'll
personalize it.
Obviously, I don't just copy andpaste, I'm not gonna let the AI
think for me, but to make lessmistakes and to you know sound
like you actually have um abrain, which hopefully most
people would think like thistoo, it's important.
Use the fact-checkinginformation, and because I do

(10:20):
think as much as Grok and uhXAI, as much as it has its
problems and is in certainpersonalities, maybe more
censored than others, right?
Nick Fuentes is definitely morecensored than others.
However, I still believefact-checking is important, and
I do believe Grok is the bestsource of fact-checking because
it is the most open sourced.
I'm not saying it's perfectinformation, and it definitely

(10:41):
has flaws with um the inf the wwhen it comes to the curation of
certain information, of course,with Jewish um subjects and you
know, sensitive topics likethat, of course.
Anything that's more of the wokeagenda, that's dominated by you
know leftist parties throughlegal firms, they're gonna own
little portions of the rights tothat AI.

(11:02):
They everything it's a war, it'sa wild west.
You're living in the wild westof technology, the
transformation.
This is what Elon Musk is alwaystalking about when he talks
about, you know, we're cominginto the moment of singularity.
Where can you know it's not justthe moment where AI merges with
man, it's actually when manreaches another level of
consciousness, when weunderstand that we're more than
just humans, we can actually gobeyond Earth.

(11:25):
There are many more worlds thatwe can conquer, but we have to
believe that that's possible.
And we have to be able to pursueit in order to really see that
before our eyes.
You have to believe before youcan see.
With all of this informationhappening, I just wanted to make
this video to call for peace,love each other, love one
another, like Christ said.
At the end of the day, seek thetruth.
Don't let any person orpresident or influencer sway you

(11:48):
in a certain way.
You gotta go where the factswill take you, go where the
evidence will take you.
Be unbiased, be intellectuallyhonest, love one another, stay
peaceful, keep the peace.
That's my message.
If there's anything I want to beon the record, it's keep the
peace, build something more,let's transcend, let's innovate.
Because the worst thing you cando is create martyrs.
Don't be violent, don't try toforce your political agenda with

(12:12):
violence, because you'reactually creating martyrs,
you're creating a movement whenyou do that.
And I think we see actually weobviously a lot of this that
we're seeing through TwitterEts, you're seeing the result of
PsyOps happen.
Whether or not you believe inconspiracy theories, we're not
just believing in conspiracytheories, we're questioning
things, we're questioning thequestioning process, even.

(12:34):
So you're questioningeverything, and so that's how
you seek the truth.
That's how you're going to findyour way to the actual facts.
The facts, not just what CNNcalls facts, actual facts.
Actual truth, irrefutable truth,undeniable truth that is on
record in every way, every form.

(12:57):
It needs to be perfect.
You need to craft your argumentslike a like an attorney, like a
lawyer.
The art of reasoning and logicand thinking requires this.
Everybody needs to get smarter,including myself.
I'm not perfect either.
And let's spread the message ofpeace.
Let's be something extraordinaryfor mankind.
Jews, Christians, Muslims,Asians, blacks, we all need to

(13:20):
see what we can do.
Imagine what we could accomplishif we focused on more important
things.
Greatness, success.
And then, of course, respectingour own identities.
You know, I don't believe thatrace mixing is okay.
That's not a way you honor yourown race.
I think black people should staywith black people, white people
should stay with white people,Asians should stay with Asians,

(13:40):
Jews should be with Jews.
Stay within the people of yourown continent.
Honestly.
Is I think that's kind ofprobably going to be your best
outcome.
Other people will have theirpandering remarks and they'll
say what they want to say, butthat's just true.
I think it's disrespectful.
In many ways, it should be acultural sin.
That's just my status.
That's my beliefs.
No, stay with your own people.
We're all you're all beautifulout there.

(14:02):
We're all beautiful.
We all have something greatabout us.
Let's just not abuse that.
Let's not abuse that.
Let's not transform that.
Let's not change that.
The you know, the definition ofdiversity is actually to remain
diverse.
And if we are all mixed, thenwe're not diverse anymore.
We're all gonna look the same.
You know, black people are adistinct race because they

(14:25):
reproduce with other blackpeople, other Africans, whatever
you want to call it.
Europeans, they remain lookingthe way they do because they uh
reproduce with Europeans.
Indians look the way they dobecause they reproduce with
Indians.
So this is just what we shouldrespect as a race.
And it's not to say if you areyou come from a risk a mixed
race family, it is what it is.

(14:46):
And it's not like it's thisterrible thing.
You know, it's like if you trulylove somebody, I understand
that.
And that obviously makes sense,that's obviously logical in
every way, but I also thinkthere is an element that we all
need to consider that goingforward in the future.
You know, consider those ideas,not just throw them away, not
just call everybody a bigot whohas those ideas, just consider

(15:09):
maybe there is something more tothe idea of uh diversity being
in a form of not being sodiverse.
You know, not necessarilysegregation and such a strong
word for this, but you know,somewhat of a form of tribalism
to a limited extent that allowsthe human race to thrive and
allows all of us to thrive inour own ways, in our own
communities.

(15:29):
And I think we all have a rightto live in our own communities.
I say this as a real estateagent, um, I say this as a
police officer, as anentrepreneur, as an investor.
I say this with full confidence,and I fully back this opinion.
Everybody has the right todecide who their neighbors are.
You know, and when I what I meanby that is you have a right to
decide if you want to have awhites-only community, if you

(15:50):
want to have a blacks-onlycommunity, if you want to have a
Muslim-only community, you know,well, actually, I don't believe
in that.
Because I do believe Americaitself should be America first,
a European white civilization.
I do believe that, becausethat's how we were founded.
And it's nothing personal, it'snot even about race to me, it's
about preserving the Americanidentity.

(16:11):
And unfortunately, for otherraces, that's just, you know,
you can't complain about it.
It was the English and theEuropeans and the Irish and the
Scots who came over here, sailedthe Atlantic, and we came over.
There was hundreds of miles ofopen fields, and we took those.
We took that land and we didsomething great with it.

(16:33):
We again fields, open fields.
You watch the movies, you everwatch the old movies?
You know, 1923, maybe you'vewatched uh 1883 or whatever it
is.
You watch these shows, you seethe old America, and what does
it look like?
Well, the old America was openfields for miles, miles, miles

(16:54):
on end.
And then all of the NativeAmericans were slaughtering each
other.
And you know, some of them livedin peace with each other, and
different tribes obviously hadum alliances and whatnot.
But the truth of the matter isthat there was no civilization
before the Europeans, Europeanscame to North America.

(17:15):
And, you know, ironically,what's another argument you
could on you could honestly sayif we're talking about North
America, you could say LeeErickson was the founder of New
of North America, because heended up finding Newfoundland,
which is modern-day Canada.
So really, I mean Canada, youknow, North America, that North
America itself was founded by abike in Nordic Europe.

(17:38):
Right?
So that's just the way it is.
America was founded by whitepeople, and that's it, that's
North America.
If you talk about Americaitself, then you could argue
Christopher Columbus and theSpaniards.
Who made it a civilization?
Who made it a civilization?
Well, it was our foundingfathers, the people who declared
our independence, the men whowere inventors, entrepreneurs,

(18:00):
who were innovators, they werevisionaries, and they saw
something greater for theAmerican experiment that was
originally meant to be werewhite men of good stock.
At first said, Yes, they wereracists.
That's absolutely true.
But there's nothing wrong orindifferent about racism in its
terms.
Racism has been a has beenturned into a political term, a

(18:22):
manipulated term to warp theminds of the masses, to keep you
silent, to keep you from talkingabout uh controversial subjects.
So that's kind of the importantissue that we need to address.
How much censorship are wewilling to put up with?
I'm willing to push the lines alittle bit.
I'm willing to say what needs tobe said and talk about it.
I think we all should.
I think all of the people whoare trending now on X

(18:45):
specifically are the people whoeverybody should follow.
Not everybody has perfectopinions.
Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes,Candace Owens, Ian Carroll,
Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, whateveryou want to say.
But these people, I think, arequestioners.
They question things, theyquestion the current narrative.
And they're always trying tofind figure out what's

(19:06):
happening, what is the truth.
It's not about Republican orDemocrat, it's about finding the
truth.
It's about finding what actuallyhappened, what's the source?
I say this as a cop.
You need to do the same thingwhen you're on any call, you
need to say, hey, what's thesource of this information?
What's the real story here?
You know, what does the evidencesay?
And you have to structure afteryou've conducted the entire

(19:28):
investigation on scene andyou've gathered all of the facts
and you've controlled thesituation, you now have to go
and write a report on it.
And when you write your report,you have to build your case like
a lawyer.
Because as a cop, you're like astreet lawyer, and that's how I
was.
I was like a street lawyer, andthat's how I always saw myself.
And so this is how it is.
And so this is how the worldreally works.
Again, being a criminologymajor, I learned a lot about the

(19:50):
criminal justice system andserial killers and how that all
works.
This is what we're dealing withnow with Trump, with President
Xi.
You're seeing with this withElon Musk, with Larry Ellison.
Just acquired TikTok for$14billion.
Okay, and then you have all ofthese things happening today.
You have President Netanyahuwho's giving statements on the
Sydney Australia shooting, ofcourse, which again he would.

(20:12):
Those are his people.
And again, God bless the um theMuslim who ended up disarming
the uh shooter.
God bless him.
And because he did the rightthing, he took action, and you
need to take action.
And he's an example of that.
But overall, there's too muchviolence.
That's what this entire messageis about.
This entire video is really notto lecture or to preach, really

(20:34):
just to talk about why you needto understand the truth requires
foresight.
It requires you to reallyinvestigate and to ask
questions.
Don't feel like you are beingpushed out of asking certain
questions.
I believe with Charlie Kirk,nothing wrong with asking
questions when it comes to allof that.
Nothing wrong with askingquestions about Charlie Kirk's

(20:55):
death.
Not at all.
Because the truth of the matteris that it is strange, all of
the inconsistencies.
And though Tyler Robinson, I dobelieve he was the shooter.
I do believe he was the one whokilled Charlie Kirk.
I believe that this was aradical leftist action that was
taken.
And I do believe that this comesfrom a more deep-rooted issue in

(21:20):
the American socioeconomic andpolitical system because we've
been brainwashed andideologically subverted for
decades.
And now we're reaching thepoint, the peak of that.
Let's build a future that'sworth living in.
Let's build a future where wehave a chance.
Let's build a future where wecan actually be something more
than what we are right now,where we can inspire people,

(21:41):
where we can make a differencein mankind.
That is what's important.
Making a difference and beingsomething that can be
contributing to society.
Hopefully, you all are doingwell out there.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays,happy Thanksgiving.
Hopefully, all of that is greatfor you, and happy New Year's
coming out.
Stay vigilant, stay prudent,stay powerful, and stay wealthy.
