"The biological colonialism argument that Jeffrey alluded to goes something like this. So for the last 500 years, if you were a nation that wanted to get rich, the way you did it was you built a bunch of ships, you loaded them full of soldiers and guns and horses, and you sailed from Europe, to the New World, and you took their stuff. You took their gold, you enslaved their people, you forced people to work in the gold mines and that sort of thing. That's how Europe got rich. That's how the UK got rich. And so that's the historical pattern for 500 years. 500 years of colonialism.

"And then later there was neo colonialism with unfair trade deals that kept enriching Europe and the United States. And then more recently, with the backing of the US Military, we can get third world nations to produce stuff for us for low cost that make us feel rich. So historically, for 500 years, that's been the pattern.

"Here's the problem: At some point, there were no new lands left to conquer. And so what the ruling class decided was that where the money is, the peasants to be exploited, were the middle class in the United States and throughout the developed world. And how do you extract wealth from the middle class? You do it through iatrogenic injury.

"So if you can get the entire population to inject their kids 72 times during childhood and then get all the rest of the population and the kids to take Covid shots and you can injure them, you can enslave them for life to chronic illness. So in my research, I show that autism lifetime care costs for autism are in the range of 5 million to $7 million per kid. That's a lot of money. And it goes somewhere, and it goes to the pharmaceutical industry, the hospital industrial complex, and the ruling class.

"And so with COVID shots, what we have is, so picture a middle aged woman in Orange County, California, who gets a Covid shot and then she gets myocarditis. So now she has to do regular appointments with the cardiologist. She, she's in and out of the hospital, she's sick all the time. So over the course of the next five to ten years of her life, her health care costs are going to be in the range of about $2 million. And that all goes to pharma doctors and the pharmaceutical industrial complex.

"If that same woman was enslaved in a gold mine in South America, you could only get about $20,000 worth of labor out of her, the most if you worked her to the bone. And then she would, you know, eventually, perish. The old model of colonialism, right? But in five to 10 years in the US you can squeeze $2 million out of this one person through iatrogenic injury, through a Covid shot that causes myocarditis that sends her in and out of the hospital for 10 years of treatment. And so the insurance company pays, the government pays, she mortgages her house, her family pays, it extracts all wealth out of her and her family, and then after 10 years, the pharmaceutical industry allows her to perish.

"So the crisis that we're in right now, and why we're all just traumatized all the time, is that western allopathic medicine has become a machine to extract wealth out of the middle class, working class, and lower classes in the United States to enrich the pharmaceutical industry and the ruling class through iatrogenic injury. That's the crisis that we're in right now. And it was already happening with autism and other chronic illnesses in children before, and then it just blossomed in size during the COVID epidemic. And the response and the junk science Covid shots."
