Last week I was invited to go back on What’s Up Canada for a “fire side” chat with host Wayne Peters. This is a rebroadcast of our live stream on my show, Onward. This was an unscripted show where we just sat and talked about a variety of different issues plaguing Canada and the West today - less of an interview and more of a conversation as we both had questions for one another.

Wayne and I explore the tactics of social engineering and ideological subversion that have been at play for decades, eroding Canadian values, culture, and sovereignty from within. From loss of national identity to the weaponization of language and legislation, this episode touches on how every part of our society is being co-opted - from school boards to city councils, health departments to financial systems.

A topic that came up frequently was the idea that many of the things we are witnessing today have been tired and tested in other countries such as South Africa; with disastrous results.

We also discussed the insidious rollout of Bill C-293 and how this so-called “pandemic preparedness” legislation is being used as a gateway for a sweeping technocratic agenda; including the globalist push to embed international policies into local municipalities without democratic consent or public awareness.

Tune into this deep-dive on Bill C-293 here:

Wayne brings a powerful lens to this conversation, grounded in investigative research and a deep commitment to community action. We talk about why local resistance matters more than ever, and how individuals can begin reclaiming their voice, their power, and their place in shaping the future of this country.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Icelandic journalist and activist, Margrét Friďriksdóttir, founder of the independent news outlet Frettin, for a conversation that sheds light on the creeping technocratic agenda unfolding not just in Iceland, but across much of the Western world, including right here in Canada.

While many Canadians are still debating the future of digital ID, Iceland has already implemented it - and what Margrét shares from lived experience is sobering. From banking and healthcare to driver’s licenses and even passports, digital identity has become the key that unlocks participation in society. Lose your phone (or your compliance) and you’re effectively locked out of life.

But this episode goes far beyond tech. We examine the broader ecosystem of control that digital ID systems are quietly enabling: centralized data collection, surveillance, financial gatekeeping, social conformity, and ultimately, the erosion of bodily autonomy and freedom of speech.

What happens when your access to money, travel, or even healthcare can be revoked with the flip of a switch?

Margrét also shares firsthand accounts of censorship, propaganda, and societal breakdown in Iceland - painting a picture that mirrors much of what we’re seeing here in Canada. She speaks candidly about the rise in violent crime linked to immigration policies, the spread of gender ideology in schools, and the silencing of dissenting media voices - culminating in a sophisticated DDoS attack on her news platform, believed to be retaliation for publishing perspectives that challenge the official narrative.

If you think “it can’t happen here,” think again.

This isn’t just a conversation about Iceland. It’s a wake-up call for anyone in the West who believes in civil liberties, freedom of expression, and the right to bodily autonomy. The same playbook is being rolled out globally - under different names, different languages, and different branding - but with eerily similar results: less freedom, more control.

Whether you’re in Canada, the U.S., the UK, or beyond, this is a must-listen episode if you want to understand where things are headed, and what we can do to push back before it’s too late.

Key Topics Discussed

Digital ID in Iceland:

Iceland is already deep into digital ID integration: banking, healthcare, passports, and even driver’s licenses are all linked through a smartphone app. We unpack what this looks like in daily life and the silent erosion of freedom and privacy.

Why this matters for Canada and the West:

We draw sharp parallels between Iceland and Canada: state-funded media, suppression of dissent, woke overreach, and the normalization of surveillance and censorship. It’s already happening there, and much of this has started here too.

Behind-the-scenes censorship:

Margrét details a major DDoS attack on her independent media outlet, believed to be retaliation for publishing non-mainstream views on Ukraine, globalism, and more. This kind of back-end censorship is rarely discussed but is crucial to understand.

Weaponized propaganda and narrative control:

We dive into how government and legacy media collude to shape perception and suppress truth, whether it’s COVID, climate narratives, or mass migration. The same tactics used in Iceland are mirrored in Canada and other Western nations.

Immigration & cultural clashes:

Margrét shares candid insights into how Iceland’s immigration policies are causing societal friction—another area where Canada faces similar tensions and silence from the media.

Why cash still matters:

As Iceland moves closer to a cashless society, we discuss how financial control is a pillar of the broader technocratic agenda, and how keeping cash alive is an act of resistance.

The illusion of democracy & “opposition”:

We explore the facade of opposition parties in Canada and how globalist influence transcends party lines.

In this episode, I sit down with Will Tanner from The American Tribune to unpack a topic I've wanted to discuss for a long time: Is the West following in the footsteps of South Africa and Zimbabwe? From economic collapse and radical policies to rising crime and the erosion of personal freedoms, the patterns are undeniable. Will brings a wealth of historical knowledge, tying together events from Rhodesia to present-day America and Canada, revealing a trajectory that should serve as a warning for the West.

Key Topics Discussed:

1. Historical Parallels: Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa

* How Rhodesia, once an agricultural powerhouse, was economically and socially dismantled through communist-backed revolution and land expropriation.

* The devastating impact of Mugabe’s policies, leading to hyperinflation, economic collapse, and mass starvation.

* South Africa’s trajectory mirroring Zimbabwe: land expropriation, racial laws, and rising unemployment.

2. The Economic Decline of the West

* The erosion of the middle class and vanishing economic opportunities in Canada and the U.S.

* Inflation as a hidden tax: how currency devaluation and government overspending are hollowing out personal wealth.

* The globalist push for wealth redistribution and its consequences.

3. Government Expansion and Corruption

* How bloated bureaucracies are leading to inefficiency and economic ruin, mirroring South Africa’s ANC-led government.

* The role of corporate-government partnerships in consolidating power and limiting freedoms.

* Government spending and taxation reaching unsustainable levels, strangling economic growth.

4. Crime and Social Instability

* The breakdown of law and order: farm murders in South Africa vs. rising violent crime in the U.S. and Canada.

* Why an increase in unemployment inevitably leads to higher crime rates.

* The failure of diversity hiring quotas and their role in weakening infrastructure and essential services.

5. The Cultural and Ideological Shift in the West

* The rise of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and how it echoes South African policies like Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).

* The rejection of meritocracy in favour of identity politics and its long-term consequences.

* How social conditioning and censorship prevent meaningful discourse on these issues.

6. What Comes Next?

* The need to learn from history to avoid repeating it.

* Steps individuals can take to insulate themselves from economic downturns and government overreach.

* The role of alternative media in breaking through controlled narratives.

This conversation was a deep dive into how historical patterns are repeating themselves and what that means for the West today. Many of the policies being presented as ‘progressive’ or ‘equitable’ have already played out in places like South Africa, with devastating consequences. If we want to avoid a similar fate, we need to take a hard look at these warning signs and act accordingly.

Over the last few years the climate change narrative has ratcheted up to an entirely different level. “New” buzzwords like “build back better”, “managed retreat” and “climate change” are not actually that new.

The origins of the climate change “movement” can be traced back to the 1960’s and the Club of Rome; and involves all the usual actors that stand to profit from the complete reshaping of society in the name of “climate change”

In this deep-dive podcast, investigative journalist Dan Fourier joins me to discuss his research into the origins of the climate change movement agenda in Canada. His long-form article is a must-share for anyone interested in this subject:

From the Club of Rome’s population control theories to the direct involvement of globalist figures like Maurice Strong, we dissect the connections between early environmental policies and today’s aggressive climate taxation and net-zero policies under Justin Trudeau.

I also want to point you toward another issue that ties into climate change. That is weather modification and geoengineering. As I have been saying for some time now: it is becoming difficult to discern how much “climate change” is naturally occurring and how much is a result of weather modification and geoengineering techniques, many of which go back decades.

If you are new to this subject, or looking for a one-stop resource, I would strongly suggest listening to my podcast with Dane Wigington of Geoengineering Watch .org:

Key Topics Discussed on Today’s Show

* The Club of Rome’s influence on global policy and their shift from “global warming” to “climate change”

* Maurice Strong’s role in shaping modern environmentalism and his ties to Agenda 21/2030

* A short overview to the UN Agenda 2030, SDG’s and ESG’s.

* The Trudeau’s ties to elite networks including a fascinating genealogy and family tree.

* How the Trudeau’s financial interests and power have shaped government policy and changed public perception over the years.

* The shift toward a surveillance-driven climate economy and a “smart dictatorship”

* The influence of modern-day organizations like the UN, WEF and NGO’s.

* A background on incoming Liberal Party leader, Mark Carney (some truly mind-blowing stuff here!).

Karen Kingston joins me once again to discuss the challenges of navigating today’s world filled with misinformation, manipulation, and emerging technologies. In this unscripted, “fire-side” chat, we talk about the impact of mRNA technologies, transhumanism, and the broader societal implications of these advancements. Karen brings her scientific expertise and personal convictions to highlight how faith and informed consent are critical in confronting the existential issues humanity is facing these days.

Full show notes: https://onwardpod.substack.com/

We cover a lot of ground in this episode and tap into topics like the erosion of informed consent, the spiritual dimensions of this global shift, and the dangers of surrendering our humanity to fear and coercion. From the CDC’s admissions on vaccine-related coincidences to the frightening implications of patented genetic modifications, this episode offers a sobering (but hopefully empowering) perspective.

The conversation also explores the role of faith in navigating darkness, the importance of discernment, and how individuals can resist becoming complicit in harmful agendas. Lastly, we reflect on humanity’s resilience and potential for triumph, even in the face of unprecedented challenges.

In this solo episode, I chose to reflect on the challenges of the past year and share how I’ve worked through some of the feelings of disillusionment and hopelessness I’ve experienced. My intention with this episode is to set the tone for this year and explore how we can some find balance, reclaim our power, and live with purpose amidst the chaos.

Some topics discussed in this episode:

* Detachment from the chaos while still staying informed and aware

* Detachment from outcomes

* The Spiritual landscape of 2025, the multi-dimensional struggles we are facing, and why Spiritual development and inner-work and the best things to work on for long-term resiliency.

* The symbolism of the number nine (2+2+5=9): completion, transformation, humanitarianism, and new beginnings.

* How this energy reflects global and personal shifts in outdated systems and beliefs, the culmination of cycles, and making way for new growth.

* PTSD, trauma loops, and trauma binding

* Why our nervous systems are getting fried from constant problem-reaction triggers

* How the bombardment of information can paralyze our decision-making abilities and leave us exhausted.

* My upcoming control studies on PCR testing

* A boots on the ground initiative to petition town/city councils and make local change.

Some quotes:

“Detachment isn’t giving up; it’s creating space to see things clearly and take action.”

“This year is about letting go of outdated beliefs and stepping into new possibilities.”

“Don’t forget to live your life. Seek joy, build resilience, and be the eye of the storm for others.”

Since my last podcast with Karen Kingston, the bird flu narrative has certainly heated up. In this solo podcast I take a slightly different angle and look at the expansion of surveillance, testing and food recalls across the food supply chain.

If you’d like to get up to speed on things, I’d suggest listening to this bombshell podcast episode first:

Since this episode aired in Nov 2024, we have seen public health and mainstream media ratchet up the bird flu narrative. We have also seen a massive expansion in testing and surveillance.

Here’s a clip by top vaccine Czar, Dr Peter Hotez, discussing not only bird flu but “some big picture stuff coming down the pike” for 2025; including H5N1 bird flu, Coronavirus/SARS-Cov-2, Dengue, Zika, Yellow fever and more. All because of us pesky anti-vaxxers of course.

Interestingly, Hotez mentions January 21, 2025 - the day after Trump’s inauguration - hinting that the Trump administration will be inheriting a pandemic of some kind.

State of California Declares A State of Emergency Due to Bird Flu

I didn’t have a chance to get this into the recording as it happened within 2 hours after I wrapped up. That’s how fast this story is moving.

“Governor Gavin Newsom today proclaimed a State of Emergency to streamline and expedite the state’s response to Avian influenza A (H5N1), commonly known as “Bird Flu.” This action comes as cases were detected in dairy cows on farms in Southern California, signaling the need to further expand monitoring and build on the coordinated statewide approach to contain and mitigate the spread of the virus. The virus has spread in 16 states among dairy cattle, following its first confirmed detection in Texas and Kansas in March 2024”

Expanded Surveillance and Testing

As discussed in my podcast with Karen Kingston, the WHO et. al. have been actively expanding surveillance of H5N1 (and other H5-bird flu’s) since early 2022. So it should be no surprise that the more we test, the more we find - especially when using bogus PCR testing.

Farms across the world (especially in the 5-eyes nations) are being heavily tested with resultant quarantining and culling of birds. To date, over 300 million birds have been culled as a result of testing positive for bird flu (NOT because of bird flu itself).

Here is a collection of stories from around the world.

* California loses 8.4 million birds in past month to bird flu

Can Bird Flu Transmit Animals to Humans to Humans?

As I have previously discussed, there are some major questions around whether viruses actually exist, let alone jump from animals to humans and by extension, human-to-human (especially “zoonotic viruses”). As we heard during the early days of the covid pandemic, “people have nothing to worry about as SARS-Cov2 can’t jump from animals to humans”.

We all know how that worked out.

Well, much the same picture is unfolding here with the bird flu narrative.

There are now multiple confirmed CASES across the globe, and fresh reports confirming that humans can be infected with H5N1 - “Researchers found that the bird flu virus isolated from a sick dairy worker is capable of replicating in human airway cells”.

Again, there are serious questions around viral isolation which is fraught with many problems if not outright fraud. I have covered this extensively with Jamie Andrews from the Virology Control Studies project.

It’s interesting that only 6 months ago, we were all assured that it was highly unlikely that H5N1 would jump to humans, yet here we are.

A quote from the article above:

Health experts have been sounding the alarm about the potential pandemic threat posed by bird flu, which has been showing signs of mutating as it spreads among cows and infects people in the United States.

There is no guarantee that bird flu will ever begin transmitting between humans, and US health authorities have emphasized that the risk to the general public remains low.

Sounding an awful lot like 2020….

Preemptive Food Recalls: Priming Us For a Future “Emergency”?

I’ll keep this section short as there is not much more to discuss that hasn’t been relayed in the podcast itself. Here’s a short list of references I covered in the show:

1. FS Fresh Foods Recalls Mediterranean Inspired Party Tray Because of Possible Health Risk Due to Potential Contamination

2. Reser’s Fine Foods, Inc. Recalls Select Lots of Sprouts Farmers Market Gyro Family Kits Due to Potential Health Risk

In this episode of Onward Podcast, I sit down with Dan Oke, a martial artist, legal researcher and sovereignty activist, for an intense and deeply insightful conversation about the fight for justice, sovereignty, and personal accountability. We dive into a high-stakes battle against government overreach, legal fraud, and systemic corruption that has literally redefined Dan’s life and mission over the past 5 years.

*** Scroll down to additional resources for detailed info ***

Together, we explore the stark reality of modern legal structures, where governments act as corporate entities, and judicial systems often serve power rather than justice. Dan shares his powerful journey of confronting the legal system through direct action, from issuing lawful notices of liability and filing criminal complaints to facing arrest and trial. He and his team have presented evidence of corruption at the highest levels; facts that would shock even the most informed listeners.

This builds on my previous podcast with Cal Washington which you can find here:

If you’re “looking for solutions” to many of the challenges we face today, I believe this discussion is a massive part of it (if not THE solution). In this episode we talk about real action, real consequences, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a world gone rogue.

We break down complex legal frameworks like the Law of War Manual, international treaties, and commercial law, showing how they can be wielded to demand real change.

Key Points Discussed

Breaking Down the Illusion of Authority:

* How governments function as corporate entities and what that means for legal jurisdiction.

* The hidden structure of governance through organizations like the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

Demanding Accountability Through Legal Action:

* How Dan’s team filed multiple criminal reports against public officials, citing violations of Canadian and international law.

* The real-world consequences of issuing lawful notices and performing symbolic citizens’ arrests on Canadian mayors and officials.

The Law of War Manual & Sovereignty Claims:

* How Dan invoked the Law of War Manual to declare legal neutrality in a state of conflict.

* Understanding lawful remedies available through international law and personal sovereignty.

Facing Trial and Exposing Judicial Corruption:

* The intense legal battle Dan faced after being arrested for criminal harassment related to his lawful notices.

* The shocking evidence presented in court, including financial trading on court bonds and forged government documents.

Global Military Operations & Hidden Agendas:

* How hidden military agendas tie into the current political landscape and what to watch for in 2024.

* How historical legal fraud has led to today’s systemic injustices.

Practical Steps for Resistance and Legal Action:

* Why mass non-compliance is more than a personal stance; it’s actually a lawful remedy.

* How you can take action by filing lawful claims, sending notices, and holding officials accountable.

This episode is a call to action. As Dan so powerfully shared, justice isn’t something granted; it’s something we must demand! We can’t wait for someone to save us. We must step up, stand on truth, and take action using the tools at our disposal. This isn’t about theories or conspiracies: it’s about undeniable facts, proven fraud, and the need for real accountability.

If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by the legal system or wondered how to take lawful action against corruption, this episode is for you. Listen, learn, and take action. The future depends on what we the people choose to do today.

Jason Christoff is a mind control researcher, behaviour modification expert, and self-sabotage coach who has spent years exploring the hidden forces that shape our behaviour and beliefs. In this episode, we dive deep into the mechanisms of psychological manipulation and how they are used to control individuals and entire populations.

Jason shares his unique insights into the concept of fifth-generation warfare, the use of propaganda to destabilize society, and how mind control tactics are embedded in everyday life. We discuss how these tactics affect our ability to think critically and how the illusion of government authority perpetuates control.

We also touch on the powerful role of guilt and shame in disempowering individuals and how reclaiming personal power is essential for breaking free from these influences. Jason’s perspective is not only eye-opening but also empowering, as he offers practical advice on how to identify and resist these manipulative tactics.

If you’ve ever wondered how seemingly irrational behaviours are orchestrated on a mass scale or how to protect yourself from falling victim to these systems, this conversation is for you.

Listen to my related podcast with behavioural science expert, David Charalambous here:

Key Takeaways:

* The Subtle Power of Mind Control: Jason explains how repetition, media manipulation, and societal norms are used to instil beliefs and suppress dissent.

* Fifth-Generation Warfare: We explore how modern conflicts rely on psychological operations rather than physical battles to control populations.

* The Role of Government: Jason challenges the conventional understanding of governance, framing it as a business that profits from manipulation and control.

* Self-Sabotage and Propaganda: He connects personal behaviours like substance use and unhealthy habits to larger systems designed to weaken individuals and make them more controllable.

* Reclaiming Power: Jason emphasizes the importance of breaking free from societal programming by understanding and resisting mind control techniques.

*** apologies for the poor audio quality in the second half of the show

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dane Wigington, lead researcher and founder of GeoengineeringWatch.org, to confront one of the most critical and largely ignored issues of our time: geoengineering. This is a conversation you need to hear. Dane’s insights reveal the extent of climate engineering programs and their devastating effects on human health, ecosystems, and the planet’s future.

Before you jump into the show notes, be sure to watch Dane’s incredible documentary, The Dimming. The Dimming leaves no stone unturned and provides unequivocal proof that geo-engineering and weather modification are going on.

Key topics discussed in this episode:

What Is Geoengineering?

Dane walks us through the science and purpose behind programs like solar radiation management (SRM) and stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), explaining how they are presented as solutions for climate change. However, these technologies involve dispersing toxic particulates, including aluminum, barium, and graphene, into the atmosphere, with dire environmental and health consequences.

The Role of Weather Control

We unpack the reality of weather warfare. Dane explains how engineered hurricanes, droughts, and floods are being used as tools of manipulation and geopolitical control. These weather events, far from natural, are destroying agriculture and displacing populations, with ripple effects across the globe.

Ozone Layer Depletion

Perhaps the most alarming revelation is the accelerating collapse of the ozone layer due to these programs. Dane provides evidence linking the chemicals used in geoengineering to the erosion of this protective barrier, which shields us from harmful UV radiation. Without immediate action, the damage could lead to irreversible environmental collapse.

The Human and Environmental Cost

Geoengineering is contributing to a rise in neurological diseases, respiratory issues, and immune system disorders in humans, as well as mass die-offs in animal and plant species. Dane shares compelling data on the presence of heavy metals in soil, water, and air samples, highlighting the connection between these toxic substances and declining biodiversity.

Why the Secrecy?

We explore the reasons behind the lack of public awareness and accountability. Dane emphasizes that climate engineering is not science fiction—it’s a global program that continues under the guise of mitigating climate change, supported by governments, corporations, and militaries.

What We Can Do

The episode concludes with a call to action. Dane stresses the importance of raising public awareness and leveraging collective action to stop these programs. He reminds us that time is of the essence—if geoengineering continues unchecked, it could spell disaster for humanity and the planet.
