Things I Think About episodes
- 116 - Dr Li-Meng Yan is telling the truth about Covid-19
Today I was honored to speak with the courageous Dr. Li-Meng Yan about why she believes Covid-19 was a bioweapon and not a lab leak. She speaks with clarity and authority and I hope her crusade to get the truth out does not cost her more than it already has. Tune in NOW to hear what the mainstream media does not want you to hear and learn what other attacks may be coming next to America and the world.
Some of the questions asked:
Origins of Virus:
- People pretty much accepts that the virus came from a lab in Wuhan but its not really talked about as much now. Was it a bio-weapon as some people think?
- Was the lab that created the virus, operated by the military?
- Is the Wuhan lab the only lab in China developing bio-weapons?
- What are the chances that more bio-weapons like Covid-19 will be released in the near future?
- What kind of dangers could we be facing in the near future? (What viruses are being studied?)
- Conspiracy theory?: Are race specific bio-weapons possible?
WHY?
- Why would China do all of this? Rumor has it the purpose is depopulation.
- What do you think of health officials who know the truth that this is a bio-weapon and choose to promote it as a natural disease?
Accountability:
- How is China able to evade accountability for what they've done?
- Is the CCP running all the censorship surrounding the virus?
- There is a lot of misinformation circulating about the coronavirus, should we only trust peer reviewed studies? If not, why not?
- Why do you think the American government (and others) has not retaliated against China? Why are we not at war?
Psychological Warfare:
- Several companies are mandating vaccines and as a result, many people are quitting their jobs in protest. Do you think this was anticipated by the CCP when they released the virus?
- What do you think of the vaccinated people who treat the unvaccinated people badly?
More questions:
- Do you think Anthony Fauci has the best interest of the American people in mind?
- Do you think the World Health Organization is motivated by keeping the world healthy?
- How has your speaking out against all this evil affected your life? How has your family supported you? (Husband tried to turn you in?)
- I hear that Pfizer is coming out with a drug that is similar to Ivermectin. What are your thoughts on that?
- If someone has already been vaccinated against Covid, what are your thoughts about getting a flu shot?
- Have you been approached by the CDC, FDA and others for your expertise?
ABOUT MY GUESTDr. Li-Meng Yan is a PhD virologist, medical doctor, immunologist and independent coronavirus expert. She was educated at two top medical schools in China, Southern Medical University and Central South University. She was also Post-doctoral Fellow in the School of Public Health at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). Because of her extensive professional network and scientific evidence, Dr. Yan has the distinction of being the only Chinese insider in the west with firsthand knowledge about the true nature of the virus as well as the Communist Chinese Party’s deceptive methods used to disguise their international bioweapons research. Her revelations since January 19, 2020 have forced the CCP to change its strategy on the origin of SARS2 and saved many lives as a result.

- How much of our tax dollars are wasted?

36 min - 110 - Has the Left lost their collective minds? A chat with Jeff Charles
Today, Jeff Charles and I had a meeting of the minds to lament the left and make wacky predictions (well, I did anyway) about the future of Democrats, Republicans and the rest of the country.
These were our talking points:
- Wokeism is a religion.
- Liberal privilege is real.
- Nobody cancels culture like the left.
- Impeaching Biden may sound good but, will it happen?
- Would a Vice President Harris be worse?
- Despite the propaganda of the activist media, people still do not like VP Harris. Why?
- Defund the police and replace them with federalized troops the elites control.
- Its not Democrat vs Republicans, its a globalist Uni-party against us all.
- Will 2022 be a political bloodbath for the Democrats?
- Its so important to pay attention to the primary races!
- If not Trump in 2024, who should be the Republican nominee?
- Who will be the next Democrat to run for President?
And so much more...
