It is Discernable®

Gigi Foster is a Professor and Director of Education at The School of Economics at UNSW Business School. She holds qualifications in ethics, politics and economics, and has been speaking out against the ‘Covid Panic’ from the very beginning of the pandemic.

Professor Foster was one of the first to publish a cost-benefit analysis of lockdowns, and quickly came to the conclusion that governments around the world are causing net harm on the lives of their citizens, both from a quality of life perspective and a biological survival perspective.

This discussion is our Christmas present to all who care to receive it – a discussion full of rationality and sense-making, ending with broader perspectives and predictions on what 2022 will look like.

Professor Nikolai Petrovsky invented SPIKOGEN (formerly called Covax-19) which has now rolled out to millions of people with zero deaths, zero cases of myo/pericarditis, and zero cases of thrombosis.

Such a remarkable adverse event profile is, according to the professor, absolutely normal in traditional vaccine development but has been forgotten in a sea of adverse events around the world.

Now approved in New Zealand as a travel vaccine, the professor joined me to discuss a massive range of topics including the science behind spike proteins, C-19 variants, truth in efficacy reporting, natural immunity, viral attenuation, and the future for his vaccine SPIKOGEN.

Nikolai is the Director of Endocrinology at the Flinders Medical Centre (South Australia), Professor of Medicine at Flinders University (South Australia), Vice President of the International Immunomics Society, founder of Vaxine and creator of SPIKOGEN.

John Tamny: More Freedom is SAFER than what we are doing now

John Tamny is the Vice President and Director of the Center for Economic Freedom at FreedomWorks, the editor of Real Clear Markets and Senior Economic Adviser to Applied Finance Group. As an author, his latest publication is ‘When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason’.

In this interview we focused on John’s primary argument – that we are witnessing massive swings toward centralised economic planning. This leads to his diagnosis that more freedom is actually safer at the population level, and we are abandoning that safety for psuedo-safety which is actually more dangerous.

In this special episode of The People's Project, Matt is joined by Dr Brendan Moloney from Parallel Movement, and Ken Phillips from Not Above The Law.

We gathered to consider the bold prediction: 'Daniel Andrews Will Lose The Next Election'.

Along the way we examined:

1. corporate polling

2. our own internal Discernable polls

3. the political wind shifting in Victoria

4. the segmentation of voters and the failure of political parties to keep pace

5. the unethical segregation of society and deliberate division

6. the fall of the Rule of Law and why it must be restored

7. why Australians are protesting

8. court cases to fight for the integrity of the 'system'

9. movements to disconnect from the 'system' altogether and start over.

In case you are wondering why my forehead is so swollen in this episode, it's because a bee STUNG ME IN THE FACE! That was fun. I'm either bald and red headed fresh from surgery, or my stomach is hanging out of my shirt, or in this case my head is swollen like an alien. I think we've demonstrated what you get on Discernable might not always be pretty, but it's authentic.

Professor Russell Strong is a world-renowned transplant surgeon who pioneered liver transplant techniques that are now used around the world, saving countless lives.

Throughout his distinguished career, he noticed a strange refusal by Chinese institutions and trainee doctors to commit to abstaining from organ harvesting. Ultimately Professor Strong fears that his techniques and his profession are being appropriated into the immoral organ harvesting market in China.

He also believes that his profession is remaining silent and complicit with the Chinese regime, and has therefore called for countries in the West to place a form of ‘sanction’ on China by refusing to train their surgeons unless they can demonstrate a stand against organ harvesting.
