Dr. Piers Robinson returns to discuss being targeted by the MSM for accurately calling out truths surrounding Covid-19 from the beginning, analysis which has since proven to be right on the money. He believes the smear campaign tactic is greatly waning in efficacy and that more people are waking up. He gives an update on COVID9/11 including the propaganda, censorship, and how this event is being used for a very major political and economic restructuring towards Central Bank Digital Currency and total control over money. Vaccine Passports are sold as a moral imperative in order to get people onto the Digital ID which is the stepping stone to CBDCs and neo-feudal technocracy. You have to be profoundly naive to think this is just about a public health crisis. He sees people taking grassroots concerted action and hopes that the Great Reset begins to unravel, though admits the risk is clearly there that we could end up in a very bad place as in history past.

Piers Robinson: You Have to be Profoundly Naive to Think This is Just About Public Health #233

The Geopolitics & Empire Podcast conducts interviews with prominent international experts on a wide-range of topics.

Past guests have included diplomats, government officials, whistleblowers, soldiers, spies, economists, academics, scientists, wealthy investors, dissidents, journalists, and musicians.

The broadcast seeks to gain insight from guests who come from the left, right, and beyond. It should go without saying that the host does not always agree with beliefs espoused by podcast invitees, but maintains an open mind, and believes it important to respectfully listen to a multitude of voices and let listeners come to their own conclusions.
