A Special Event with Dr. Robert Malone Internationally recognized scientist, author and bioethicist Weaponized Fear and Psychological Bioterrorism Dr. Robert Malone returns to the Liberty Forum to present on Psychological Bioterrorism: The weaponization of the fear of infectious diseases. Exposing the effort to control behavior of both individuals and populations, Dr. Malone describes the weaponization of this existential fear and the series of tactical steps used to deploy it. Psychological Bioterrorism is an inexpensive method for exerting global influence. From the perspective of consequences and harm, it can be more damaging than an actual bioterror event. The recently promoted fear of a bird flu strain is but one example of such a “Disease X,” of which the WHO has been warning according to Dr. Malone. Fear of infectious disease, fear of overpopulation, fear of climate crisis, and the generalized free-floating fear produced by a constant barrage of crisis narratives has become the new normal. Learn how this works, who deploys it, and how we can stand up to this crime against humanity. Join us for a special evening with a remarkable man. ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: Dr. Malone is an internationally recognized scientist/physician and the original inventor of mRNA vaccination as a technology, DNA vaccination, and multiple non-viral DNA and RNA/mRNA platform delivery technologies. He holds numerous fundamental domestic and foreign patents in the fields of gene delivery, delivery formulations, and vaccines, including for fundamental DNA and RNA/mRNA vaccine technologies. Dr. Malone has approximately 100 scientific publications and over 14,000 citations of his work. He has been an invited speaker at over 50 conferences, has chaired numerous conferences, and has sat on or served as chairperson on HHS and DoD committees. He currently sits as a non-voting member on the NIH ACTIV committee, which is tasked with managing clinical research for a variety of drug and antibody treatments for COVID-19. Dr. Malone lives with his wife and partner of 45 years, Jill Glasspool Malone, PhD, on a horse farm in Virginia. They look forward to the upcoming publication of their book, “PsyWar: Enforcing the New World Order”. It is available for pre-order now.

Jan Jekielek Senior Editor at The Epoch Times and host of the show American Thought Leaders "TikTok: The ticking time bomb of the US-China relationship" Since 2019, in the words of Chinese paramount leader Xi Jinping, has been waging a “people’s war” against America. The regime’s aggressive influence operations, theft of intellectual property, and facilitating fentanyl trafficking in America are legion. Yet some of the best-known China scholars and Wall Street investors continue to push “engagement” at any cost, with Harvard scholar Graham Allison recently describing the U.S.-China relationship as conjoined twins, sharing a digestive system. TikTok has been described as everything from the greatest weapon the CCP deploys against America and the West, to purely a free speech platform, to a platform that must be kept out of the hands of the U.S. administrative state at any cost. Even Trump considered banning TikTok during his presidency, but today seems to have backtracked on such ambitions. Prominent Republicans and Democrats are found on both sides of the issue. What’s the reality? In this deep dive with Epoch Times senior editor and “American Thought Leaders” host Jan Jekielek, we expose the TikTok reality by considering how the platform operates from first principles. We dived into the Chinese regime’s national intelligence laws, Xi’s top national priorities such as military-civil fusion, how the CCP uses lawfare and high-powered lobbying, and the “unholy trinity” of Chinese influence operations. We also explore the new legislation that recently passed the House to force China’s ByteDance to divest TikTok, Will this legislation also provide a pretext to quell free speech in America? We discuss all these things combined with a lively Q&A. ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: Jan Jekielek is a senior editor with The Epoch Times, host of the show “American Thought Leaders” and co-host of “FALLOUT” with Dr. Robert Malone and “Kash’s Corner” with Kash Patel. Jan’s career has spanned academia, international human rights work, and now for almost two decades, media. He has interviewed nearly a thousand thought leaders on camera and specializes in long-form discussions challenging the grand narratives of our time. He’s also an award-winning documentary filmmaker, producing “The Unseen Crisis: Vaccine Stories You Were Never Told,” “DeSantis: Florida vs. Lockdowns,” and “Finding Manny.” To join the Liberty Forum of Silicon Valley: https://liberty-forum.us/membership To make a tax deductible donation: https://liberty-forum.us/giving To sign up for Liberty Forum mailing list: https://liberty-forum.us/contact

Bruner has worked with GAI President Peter Schweizer since 2011 providing pathbreaking research that has appeared on the front pages of virtually every major media outlet.

Mark Zuckerberg’s $36 billion plot to reengineer society and force you into tech addiction. Jeff Bezos’s taxpayer-funded electric vehicle ambitions, climate hypocrisy, and $1.2 billion plan to spy on you by overseeing your “smart” home. The Soros family’s project to use its $25 billion empire to influence elections and society for the next 50 years. How World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab built an exclusive club in Davos where the top 25 WEF members—now worth more than $10 trillion—have more economic power than most world governments, and how these global oligarchs are seizing control over our future.

Hollywood Propaganda: What is it, who wields it, and how it works. From the creators of the film "Out of Shadows", we featured "Into the Light", a movie made to bring to the surface that psychological operations (PSYOP) are present and active in today's society. Into the Light features experts in PSYOP and mainstream media manipulation General Michael Flynn, Lara Logan, and others. NOTE: This presentation contains the Introduction and Question and Answer Session held at a special, private screening of the movie at the Liberty Forum on March 13, 2024. To view the actual movie, please go to https://intothelight.movie Remember when going to the movies was synonymous with a fun night out – a distraction and reflection of a common set of values? But what if the entertainment industry (movies, sports, music, advertising, social media) has a darker side affecting us all? In this movie, you hear from those at the tip of the spear, piercing the curtain of Hollywood, exposing propaganda and illicit and illegal activities in the movie industry far beyond widespread allegations. This project brings an unbiased viewpoint to the control being done through psychological operations, in hopes of activating a community of people who are “not afraid to stand up for the truth and make a change”. To further enhance your awareness, you are encouraged to watch the first documentary in this series. Directed by Mike Smith and featuring Liz Crokin, "Out of The Shadows" lifts the mask on how the mainstream media and Hollywood manipulate and control the masses by spreading propaganda throughout their content.

Mike made the decision to sacrifice his career and livelihood, to expose what he believed to be the truth about the dark underbelly of media and Hollywood. After "Out of Shadows" was released, Mike Smith and his team went on to make his newest movie "Into the Light".

The Future of Truth: How Technology Will Save Us from Legacy Media Lies Over the past five years, the US has seen a remarkable change in its news media. News organizations that once at least wore the façade of neutrality have come out openly as partisan activists. Lockdown, lab leak, BLM, Russiagate and so many other critical issues were approached by the media not with objective fact-gathering in mind, but with a mission of driving drastic, sometimes radical change. Ashley Rindsberg, the author of the bestselling book The Gray Lady Winked, which shows how the New York Times’ misreporting changed a century of history, believes that the media’s agenda-driven reporting is baked into the DNA of America’s highly centralized media. With 90% of media in the hands of just six mega-companies, the power of the media to shape our very reality has mostly gone unchallenged. Far from the “Fourth Estate,” the media now seems like an offshoot of big government itself. Through his work as in investigative journalist, Ashley uncovers the mechanisms by which agenda-driven media works—and the dire cost it has on our society, our economy and our lives. His reporting has shown how the mainstream media cooperated with Big Science to cast lab leak as a “conspiracy theory.” He’s taken on ESG and DEI, unveiling the power structures behind these seemingly innocuous acronyms. In this fascinating talk, Ashley tells the story of how an innovative new approach to media is emerging from the ashes of centralized, corporate media right before our eyes. Ashley paints a picture of a rapidly emerging future in which technology-driven innovation is revolutionizing the media as we know it. ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: Ashley Rindsberg is founder and CEO of Bizzline, a startup that lets companies develop and engage audiences around their company news. He is the author of a bestselling book on the New York Times (The Gray Lady Winked: How the New York Times’s Misreporting, Distortions & Fabrications Radically Alter History), and has contributed to the Wall Street Journal, Telegraph and New York Post. Ashley previously served as Senior Vice President and Editorial Director of a Top 50 New York communications agency. He began his career at Internet Archive after leading a digital archive project for MIT and Cornell University. Born in South Africa, Rindsberg was raised in the US and currently lives in London.

Central Bank Digital Currency: The Single Biggest Threat to Human Liberty Cash, credit, crypto, or …??? We live in an unprecedented new age of monetary transaction methods. Most of us have some familiarity with digital currency or cryptocurrency. Many of us don’t know the difference between the two. And even if you know how to engage with them, are you sure if either of these will truly preserve your privacy and freedom? Or will they ensure your total obedience to government? Encroachment on centralized digital currency and crackdowns on crypto are already underway. HOW CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES? Aaron R. Day explains Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and how they represent a form of potential tyranny recently made available through modern technology. CBDCs pose the single greatest threat to human liberty, paving the way for social credit scores, vaccine passports, digital IDs—in essence, complete tyranny through means of controlling our “money.” In his book The Final Countdown: Crypto, Gold, Silver, and the People's Last Stand Against Tyranny by Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), Mr. Day paints a vivid picture of a dystopian future under the influence of CBDCs. He explores the advanced global development of CBDCs, particularly in the US, and discusses the inevitable failure of the dollar. More importantly, the book offers actionable advice to help individuals protect themselves from CBDCs and digital tyranny. By exiting the dollar, embracing self-custody crypto, and investing in gold and silver, Day demonstrates how these alternative assets can be utilized for day-to-day payments and commerce, offering a beacon of hope and resistance in a digitalized world. In light of growing global financial instability, wars and other projected upheavals, he stresses the urgency of immediate action. Waiting until the 2024 election could be a grave mistake, as it might be too late to effectively counter the pervasive reach of digital currencies. Day's call to action is clear and urgent: the time to safeguard your financial freedom is now, not tomorrow. ABOUT OUR SPEAKER: Aaron R. Day is an experienced entrepreneur, investor, and advisor with a diverse background spanning nearly three decades in e-commerce, healthcare, blockchain, AI, and clean technology. His political activism ignited in 2008 after his healthcare business suffered due to government regulations. Mr. Day has since been deeply involved in various political and non-profit organizations advocating for freedom and individual liberty. He has held significant roles in political organizations, including CEO of a non-profit think tank, Chairman of the Free State Project, and leadership positions in the Republican Liberty Caucus. His political journey includes running as an Independent for the US Senate and engaging in extensive political activism, highlighted by his opposition to Obamacare expansion, and the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies—all built on a platform of personal and national sovereignty, integrity in government, and prioritizing freedom principles over cronyism in the Republican Party. Mr. Day now dedicates 100% of his time to educating people about the perils of CBDC and conducting workshops to combat it. His efforts have been recognized in major news outlets including Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Fox News. He is a father of four and a grandfather, with an educational background from Duke University and Harvard University Extension School.

Repairing America’s Broken Elections: Ten Points to True Election Integrity Featuring Capt. Seth Keshel & Special Guest, Former AZ State Rep Mark Finchem Can a clean election be guaranteed by Election Day 2024? Join us for an evening with acclaimed elections analyst and former Army Military Intelligence and Afghanistan veteran, Captain Seth Keshel. With Special Guest Mark Finchem, we discuss the state of our national elections and Capt. Keshel's Ten Points to True Election Integrity that all Americans should endorse as we seek to unify a nation divided. Fears of election fraud have loomed large in the American psyche since the 2020 presidential election resulting in Joe Biden's presidency. More than three-quarters of Americans, regardless of their personal opinion about that election, do not have confidence in the elections system as a whole. This erosion of confidence creates an existential crisis for a Constitutional Republic. If it is not solved, America's unraveling will only accelerate. SPECIAL GUEST Mark Finchem served 21 years in Public Safety as a firefighter, paramedic and law enforcement officer. Instead of retiring in the great state of Arizona, he felt personally called and was elected to the 2015 Legislature, serving with honor for eight years as Arizona State Representative. Mr. Finchem was again the 2022 Republican Nominee for AZ Secretary of State. He works tirelessly to restore election security and transparency and now heads the Election Fairness Institute – Advancing Transparent, Secure and Fair Elections.
