Onward

What if the entire system (legal, political, and judicial) was designed not to protect your rights but to manage your consent?

In this episode of the Onward Podcast, I sat down with Dan Oke and Yayoi Takemoto, two of the most grounded voices in the Canadian sovereignty movement. They’ve spent years digging into how the legal fiction operates, the illusion of remedy in the courts, and why true freedom lies in reclaiming our authority as men and women under God: not under corporate statute.

For background context, please tune into my previous podcast with Dan here:

In today’s show we unpack what it means to be a living man or woman, the deception of elections, and how our votes are used to renew consent to a fraudulent system. Dan explains how Canada’s political structure functions as a corporate apparatus, not a constitutional government, and why the judiciary is incapable of offering justice when bound by administrative rules that serve the Crown.

But this conversation doesn’t stop there.

We dive into actionable steps toward lawful self-liberation, including invoking international treaties, understanding your rights under the Law of War Manual, and how to navigate the battlefield we unknowingly live on. This is about exiting The Matrix - not with violence or resistance - but with neutrality (ie. non-participation), international law, and spiritual conviction.

I also highly recommend reviewing my podcast with Cal Washington as it ties everything together from a foundational perspective:

Key Takeaways

* The legal fiction vs. the living man or woman:

Dan breaks down how our birth certificates are used to create a corporate “person” (a legal fiction) separate from who we truly are. We explore how this deception forms the basis of all statutory control and why reclaiming your status as a living man or woman is the first step to true sovereignty.

* Why the court system offers no real remedy:

We discuss how Canadian courts operate under administrative rules and commercial law, not natural law or common law. Dan explains why justice cannot be found in a system designed to uphold Crown authority, and what lawful alternatives exist for asserting your rights.

* The role of elections in maintaining consent:

Voting isn’t just civic participation—it’s contractual consent to be governed by the very system people believe they’re challenging. We unpack how the act of voting renews the Crown’s jurisdiction over you and what it means to withdraw consent lawfully.

* Lawful exit strategies and spiritual alignment:

Yayoi shares how spiritual awakening is intertwined with lawful reclamation. This isn’t just a legal process: it’s about breaking contracts you were entered into at birth (without your consent), exiting “The Matrix”, and aligning with divine law. We get into the energetics behind paperwork and the power of intention.

* The Law of War Manual and Canada as occupied territory:

Dan introduces how international law - specifically the Law of War Manual - can be invoked when remedy is no longer possible through domestic courts. He outlines how to recognize when you’re living under military occupation and why this matters for your legal standing.

* Understanding how statutes function commercially:

Every statute is a commercial offer. We explore what this means, how to respond without acquiescence, and how silence or compliance is interpreted as agreement. This changes how you interact with every agency, from Canada Revenue Agency to traffic court.

* The hidden control structures behind the Canadian state:

From the Vatican to corporate Crown entities, we talk about who really pulls the strings behind Canada’s government, and why recognizing this is crucial for those pursuing lawful self-liberation.

* Practical remedies and steps for reclaiming sovereignty:

We don’t just talk theory. We also get into practical tools like lawful notices, affidavits of status, claims of right, and how to navigate interactions with enforcement or courts when you’re standing in your private capacity.

Researcher, freedom advocate, and WHO expert, James Roguski, joins me to discuss the latest regarding the WHO Pandemic Agreement (aka Treaty). If you’ve been following the show for a while, you will be familiar with James’ work and my extensive coverage on WHO-related topics like the International Health Regulation Amendments (IHR), Pandemic Treaty, Bill C-293 in Canada, and the emerging “Pandemic Industry”.

If you want to catch up on my last show with James, see here:

We talk about the global pharmaceutical power grab disguised as “health equity” and ending “vaccine apartheid”, the PREP Act and emergency powers, and how these so-called agreements are creating the framework for biosecurity and surveillance states.

This podcast dovetails and follows on from my previous podcast with Sasha Latypova where we discuss the PREP Act in-depth as well as how “emergency measures” are really “medical countermeasures” - a war-term. Watch this episode here:

Here are the highlights:

* The Pandemic Treaty and Canadian Election

Why this election matters more than most, and why the PM’s decision, not Parliament’s, will determine our global commitments.

* Corporate Wealth Redistribution Disguised as Health

James explains how the pandemic agreement is a Framework Convention (think: climate change playbook - COP) that benefits pharmaceutical giants, not public health.

* Conference of the Parties (COP)

What’s really happening behind closed doors with WHO negotiations and what the PABS system (Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing) is really about.

* Emergency Powers and the PREP Act

We break down how governments bypass normal safety protocols during “emergencies”, and why this sets a dangerous precedent.

* Bird Flu, H5N1 & the FDA

The recent approval of a self-amplifying mRNA vaccine raises alarm bells. We talk about the regulatory shortcuts and safety concerns, especially for kids.

* Engaging the Faithful and Opinionated:

How to navigate difficult conversations, particularly with those grounded in dogma, religious or political.

* Biosecurity Theatre

From hospital masks to farm inspections, we talk about safety protocols and practices that look good on paper but fail in reality.

In this episode I sit down with Sasha Latypova, former pharmaceutical executive and whistleblower, to pull back the curtain on what really happened during the COVID-19 response, and what’s still happening behind the scenes.

We unpack Sasha’s extensive research and documentation, which lays out the case that the COVID-19 pandemic was not a public health emergency, but a globally coordinated military operation. Sasha shares how she uncovered disturbing inconsistencies in vaccine manufacturing data, how standard pharmaceutical safety regulations were bypassed, and why government agencies (including the FDA) refused to act even when presented with hard evidence.

We unpack how legal frameworks like the U.S. PREP Act (Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act) and Canada’s own emergency declarations have been weaponized to provide total liability immunity to pharmaceutical companies, health officials, and military actors. These frameworks enable experimental countermeasures (a term borrowed from military doctrine) to be deployed on the civilian population without proper testing, oversight, or accountability.

Tune into my podcast with Dan Oke here:

Sasha and I discuss the Department of Defense’s central role in COVID contracts, the implications of DARPA’s involvement, and how declarations of emergency serve as a legal backdoor to suspend civil liberties and consumer protections. We also explore parallels between U.S. and Canadian pandemic laws, the rise of global “One Health” initiatives, and how censorship has been enshrined as a health policy countermeasure.

If you’re Canadian, you’ll want to pay special attention to how Bill C-293 and pandemic preparedness legislation mirrors these global mechanisms, and what that could mean for future emergencies declared under the guise of climate change, zoonotic disease, or misinformation.

Listen to my groundbreaking podcast with lawyer Lisa Miron:

We also talk about solutions. From repealing the PREP Act to blocking global health law overhauls, Sasha urges lawyers, lawmakers, and engaged citizens to start dismantling these legal frameworks before they become permanent. As she says: this is not over - and we have a narrowing window to fight back.

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

* California Is Now The “Epicenter” Of The Bird Flu Outbreak

* Otago farm under biosecurity lockdown

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:
