David Whitehead used martial arts as a springboard into truth seeking.

David Whitehead: [00:00:46] When it comes to triggers, these are informants for you to take notes and say, why is that so triggering for me? Why is it so hard for me to look into this? What if I find something valuable about this? Even if I find that what I’m looking into is something I don’t like, or I find out that there’s something to it that needs further investigation, you’re still learning.

The average man is hooked to the other average, man, the warrior is hooked to infinity.

Alex Tsakiris: [00:01:12] Welcome to Skeptiko where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading researchers, thinkers and their critics. I’m your host, Alex Tsakiris, and today we welcome the Truth Warrior himself, David Whitehead to Skeptiko. Dave is just a really interesting guy. And we were just chatting, you know, he was a nice enough to kind of co-host and episode we did a few, I don’t know, a couple of years ago on the Unslaved podcast with Michael Tsarion, and we met through that. But just in the last couple of weeks I contacted him about, what I was doing with the Evil project and boy, I was just telling Dave, I’m just blown away with the extent of your work. Just excellent stuff.

For folks who don’t know, you will have seen David on the Ancient Aliens podcast. And if you’re really into kind of geeky reality TV, like I am, you’ve probably seen him on The Curse of Oak Island is well. A show I watch. But this guy, Dave, at this point buddy, your IMDb is looking pretty stout. I mean, here we go. Ancient Aliens, The Curse of Oak Island. What about these other ones, a travel special and that stuff?

David Whitehead: [00:02:44] Yeah, to be honest Alex, I don’t even know what shows they threw me into. They just bring me down and interview me and then I find out later people are like, “Hey, I saw you on this show.”

So prior to the lockdown, which we’re going to get to, I was doing regular appearances on Unexplained with William Shatner, which was a fun new show that they’re doing. And then Ancient Aliens, I’ve been in multiple seasons of that. And the I think they put me in a few The Curse of Oak Island’s and sprinkled me here and there. So I didn’t even know I had an IMDb page, to be honest, this is the first time I’m seeing this.

Alex Tsakiris: [00:03:17] Oh good, good. Buddy you’ve got to be sending that out there, that’s impressive, it’s a good one.

So we’re going to talk about that in a minute because, again, as way of an introduction, the other thing about Sensei Dave as he’s called by his students and other fellow practitioners of martial arts, he is quite an accomplished guy in martial arts. And he is just a vid, I was just going to run it just for a minute of him working with students, which is really cool. He’s very accomplished, multiple black belts, not a guy you’d want to cross paths with, in the wrong way. You’d probably have to provoke him pretty hard, but you wouldn’t like the results. But we’re going to talk about this more in a minute and I was telling David before that there are so many things to talk about, I don’t even know where we might begin.

But one of the things that I thought was really intriguing about this is that for people like me who are upset with the plandemic aspect of what’s...
