Covid Collateral


“A crisis becomes an invitation.

A catastrophe is an invitation.”

Russell Brand 



I wrote down those words as soon as I heard them.


It struck me as an excellent summation of the philosophy behind my new podcast.


“The podcast that invites you to be the change.”


It speaks to the opportunity I keep on about — to be our greatest selves.


It’s because I keep looking for the invitation in these dark times that I keep finding ways to grow and expand beyond my own self-imposed limitations.


That’s what led to the first season of TruedUp, which concluded last week after 10 fascinating conversations with a wide variety of leaders in the truth and medical freedom movements.


In the last 4 years, we have experienced a crisis unlike any we have ever confronted.


But rather than rise to the occasion, the mainstream media bent down before their government and corporate masters and continue even now to largely ignore the fallout of Covid policies that many people argue will take generations to correct.


If that’s even possible.


How can we fix what we refuse to face?


There is no public discourse or debate.


No open discussion even of facts.


The hearings and comprehensive report of the National Citizens Inquiry continue to be ignored by those in power and therefore remain largely unknown by the public.


The government continues to push a medical treatment known to cause disease, disability and death, all the while performing a kind of twisted Western Noh theatre, virtue signalling feigned concern for the audience.


I mask, therefore I care.


Trust me while I hide the truth.


But this catastrophe has done something else.


It has begun to shine a light on the worst of humanity, and to awaken the best.


For those of us who know what we know about what’s really going on in the world, it has become difficult to communicate with those who still think that mistakes were made.


In the words of Margaret Anna Alice, Mistakes Were Not Made.


(Read the poem for access to the evidence ☝️ and watch the video for access to the emotion 👇)




The invitation of this crisis is to find that compassionate place within ourselves that recognizes that the friends and family who turned on us were also victims.


Subjected to non-stop fear-mongering and propaganda, some are only now starting to see that something is rotten in the state of Denmark.


As excess deaths soar after a medical intervention that was purported to save lives, people are waking up.


And as with any sleepwalker slowly awakening, we must tread carefully so as not to startle them.


I do not mean to sound condescending, but the chasm between what we were told and what is actually happening is so great that we must be strategic.


This is why I decided to get behind an excellent new mainstream documentary about to premiere in Toronto in a one-night-only screening followed by a discussion with an impressive panel...





From the internationally-known, award-winning Canadian filmmaker who co-produced Werner Herzog’s Into The Inferno, Covid Collateral takes a deep dive into this core question…


"What happens in a free society when science is suppressed?"


Focused primarily on lockdowns and the lab leak theory, the investigative documentary examines the takedown of world-class scientific leaders who were systematically smeared by Dr. Anthony Fauci and his colleagues, as revealed in the Twitter Files.


Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University, and Dr. Scott Atlas, a former member of President Trump’s White House Coronavirus Task Force, are two such targets who are featured in the film.


With its high filmmaking, journalism and legal standards, this doc is poised to be a bridge to the “moveable middle.” 


I’ve written about bridge building before.


I consider it my raison d’être.


It is a counter strategy to those who have been controlling us through divide-and-conquer tactics.


We need to come together, regardless of now irrelevant political, social and other differences.


We need to focus on shared values and principles.


We need to face some hard truths together, and the time is now.


This film is at least part of the how.





If you’re in the Toronto area (or want a weekend getaway), I encourage you to attend this special screening, bring friends and family, and even meet the esteemed speakers at the VIP reception.


I’ll be there, too.


The fact is, the Covid times are far from over.


So many in the mainstream want to move on, to forget what happened and put those painful years behind us.


But they are not behind us for the billions damaged and the millions burying their dead.


They are not behind us for the children forever scarred by policies that interrupted their education, their socialization, their human development.


And they are not behind us as long as these issues are not publicly discussed and debated, and those responsible held to account.


We can see that those who orchestrated this “public health" performance are not stopping.


It can easily be argued that they are just getting started.


There has been no accountability and there will be none until We the People demand it.


Covid Collateral is an opportunity to open the hearts and minds of those starting to open their eyes.


It's time to start a public discourse and this premiere event is a great starting point.


I hope to see you there.


The time is now.


The invitation is here.
