John Campbell PhD is one of the most well-known YouTube [00:05.440 --> 00:09.960] presenters on the matters of health and medicine with a bit more than 2,700,000 [00:09.960 --> 00:14.040] followers. John obviously makes a lot of money from YouTube and I think it's fair [00:14.040 --> 00:20.700] to say he's well respected. Tons of followers, making lots of money, well [00:20.700 --> 00:28.120] respected, not a bad combination. So it may surprise you to know I feel really [00:28.120 --> 00:33.080] bad for John. When I say that I'm being 100% sincere, my heart goes out to him. [00:33.080 --> 00:36.760] Stay with me and I'll tell you why. [00:39.280 --> 00:44.960] The Dr. Reality Vodcast with Dave Champion. [00:50.560 --> 00:54.960] Let's start with this. We all know YouTube engages in mass censorship [00:54.960 --> 00:59.200] concerning SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 and the vaccines. If you share any facts that [00:59.200 --> 01:03.160] contradict a public health agency, your content is removed. If you continue to [01:03.160 --> 01:07.400] share scientific truth with your audience, then your channel is removed. [01:07.400 --> 01:13.080] Ask me how I know that. What does it tell us that John remains on YouTube today? [01:13.080 --> 01:17.360] I'll get there shortly, but let's look at John's early SARS-CoV-2 content. [01:17.360 --> 01:23.040] Throughout 2020, 2021, and the early part of 2022, he happily parroted the [01:23.040 --> 01:27.480] establishment narrative. He fit into YouTube censorship policies perfectly. [01:27.480 --> 01:30.720] If there was a narrative put out by the government, John was right there the next [01:30.720 --> 01:34.280] day telling his audience how right, correct, factual, and scientific that [01:34.280 --> 01:41.280] narrative was. But around early 2022, John's outlook began to change. I don't [01:41.280 --> 01:44.720] want to put words in his mouth, but I think it would be fair to say the first [01:44.720 --> 01:48.520] two issues that cracked open the door in his mind, that perhaps the establishment [01:48.520 --> 01:52.520] narrative was not completely factual, were the issues of worldwide excess deaths [01:52.520 --> 01:56.320] and the emerging reality that mRNA vaccines weren't particularly effective [01:56.320 --> 02:02.080] at stopping infection by or transmission of the virus. After that, it seemed a [02:02.080 --> 02:06.680] cascade of studies began altering John's outlook. Those studies concerned things [02:06.680 --> 02:11.040] such as the effectiveness or lack thereof of so-called mitigation measures, [02:11.040 --> 02:16.400] lockdowns, social distancing, and masks, followed by vaccine injuries, natural [02:16.400 --> 02:20.480] immunity versus vaccine-induced immunity, governments recommending the vaccines [02:20.480 --> 02:25.280] for young children, bivalent boosters being approved without human trials, the [02:25.280 --> 02:30.040] almost complete lack of early treatment for COVID-19, spike protein movement [02:30.040 --> 02:34.880] throughout the body, and other medical issues. Then came his growing awareness [02:34.880 --> 02:38.520] that the politics of money and power were behind decisions John had begun to [02:38.520 --> 02:43.120] view as unscientific and medically unsound, such as recommending boosters to [02:43.120 --> 02:46.720] children in the conflicting narratives on the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. [02:47.480 --> 02:50.680] And of course, once he began discussing the science that contradicted the [02:50.680 --> 02:54.320] official positions of various government health agencies, for the first time in [02:54.320 --> 02:57.880] his life he ran into censorship. I can only imagine that as a person who [02:57.880 --> 03:02.120] believes passionately in facts and science, John was thoroughly disconcerted [03:02.120 --> 03:05.920] by YouTube giving him the choice of withholding the truth from his viewers [03:05.920 --> 03:11.200] or being deplatformed. When I first started watching John back in 2020, I [03:11.200 --> 03:16.120] was conflicted. I valued the data he was presenting, even though I knew some of it [03:16.120 --> 03:19.120] was distorted or outright falsified by the sources from which he had acquired [03:19.120 --> 03:22.800] it. Of course, I was analyzing data and presenting it on my own YouTube channel, [03:22.800 --> 03:27.520] so I knew the conclusions John was stating were often not factual. But the [03:27.520 --> 03:32.560] part of watching John back in 2020 and 2021 that was problematic for me was his [03:32.560 --> 03:36.400] complete faith in the government and large institutions of the establishment. [03:36.400 --> 03:41.320] John took his gospel, everything those agencies and institutions said, even if [03:41.320 --> 03:46.960] they lied and obfuscated. To be blunt, it struck me as sycophantic. Unlike John, [03:46.960 --> 03:51.280] from March of 2020 onward, I recognized that the government's response, which in [03:51.280 --> 03:56.120] the US was primarily state action following directives out of DC, was [03:56.120 --> 03:59.160] neither credible nor effective. I also had serious questions about the [03:59.160 --> 04:02.680] government's narrative of the virus itself and the disease it causes in some [04:02.680 --> 04:07.160] people. This presentation would be very long if I went into all of that. Instead, [04:07.160 --> 04:11.240] I'll share a single sentence I often use during 2020 and 2021 to distinguish [04:11.240 --> 04:16.320] reality from the government's narrative in media propaganda. That sentence is, [04:16.320 --> 04:23.280] government can't stop a virus. When I watched John in 2020 and 2021, I [04:23.280 --> 04:26.880] respected his dedication to facts and science while knowing most of the [04:26.880 --> 04:32.680] narratives his presentations painted as factual were, in reality, false. That said, [04:32.680 --> 04:36.800] I never had a shred of animosity towards John for what he was doing or saying. [04:36.800 --> 04:42.480] I knew John believed everything he was saying. He blindly believed whatever [04:42.480 --> 04:47.560] agencies and institutions put out because, in terms of what politicians, [04:47.560 --> 04:51.200] government bureaucrats, and trillion-dollar industries will conspire to [04:51.200 --> 04:56.840] do, John had lived a sheltered life and hadn't yet grown up. That may sound like [04:56.840 --> 05:01.400] an insult, but it's not. Given his career path and life experience before 2020, [05:01.400 --> 05:06.480] he'd never seen that particular beast in action. As such, his naiveté can [05:06.480 --> 05:11.760] be both understood and forgiven. I, on the other hand, had seen that beast [05:11.760 --> 05:15.200] repeatedly in my life and was well aware of the profite of politicians, [05:15.200 --> 05:19.120] bureaucrats, and leaders of million-dollar industries, most especially [05:19.120 --> 05:24.720] when they conspire to harm the public. As I'm recording this, I'm 63 years old and [05:24.720 --> 05:28.840] after all the years I've seen what they do, I remain highly disturbed by [05:28.840 --> 05:32.600] politicians, bureaucrats, and leaders of trillion-dollar industries actively [05:32.600 --> 05:39.400] conspiring to harm the public. Yet they do it all the time. I might even go so far [05:39.400 --> 05:44.480] as to say it's what they do. Conspiring to harm the public comes as easily to [05:44.480 --> 05:49.000] them as just breathing to me and you. Because of that, where John saw [05:49.000 --> 05:55.600] rectitude, I saw massive reprehensible disinformation. So who taught me to [05:55.600 --> 06:00.800] distrust government and trillion-dollar industries? The government and trillion- [06:00.800 --> 06:05.880] dollar industries. In my wayward youth, I decided it would be nifty to join the [06:05.880 --> 06:10.360] military and become part of the special operations community. And so I did. I [06:10.360 --> 06:14.280] became an Army Ranger. That was during the early 80s. Reagan was president and [06:14.280 --> 06:18.560] Central America was the primary hotspot for spec ops units. Years later, I [06:18.560 --> 06:21.800] discovered that the narrative we'd been fed about which side was supporting [06:21.800 --> 06:25.240] freedom and which side was anti-American murderous thugs was [06:25.240 --> 06:34.160] essentially a complete inversion of the facts. Imagine running ops, with all that [06:34.160 --> 06:39.200] entails, against people fighting for their freedom because your government [06:39.200 --> 06:44.080] told you they were the bad guys. As a side note, there's a great video out [06:44.080 --> 06:48.640] there in which retired Special Forces Master Sergeant Stan Goff explains the [06:48.640 --> 06:53.560] reality of what spec ops units really do in contrast to what the public thinks [06:53.800 --> 06:58.000] they do. I'll put a link to that video in the show notes. Being too stupid to [06:58.000 --> 07:01.320] have learned my lesson from the military, when I returned to civilian life, I went [07:01.320 --> 07:05.640] into law enforcement. There I discovered all sorts of ugly truths about how the [07:05.640 --> 07:10.040] system works. One of those ugly truths is if you are successful at significantly [07:10.040 --> 07:14.240] reducing gang and drug activity, you become an adversary of the police [07:14.240 --> 07:18.600] department executives. You see, a meaningful reduction in street crime [07:18.600 --> 07:22.400] threatens the agency's budget. Because an agency's budget comes from [07:22.400 --> 07:27.160] politicians who want to get re-elected, the public must be kept in a [07:27.160 --> 07:31.600] perpetual state of fear about crime and drugs, clamoring for more government. [07:31.600 --> 07:36.080] Preventing street crime and drugs from being reduced is obviously not what the [07:36.080 --> 07:39.640] citizenry thinks police are there to do. It's one of the many truths about how [07:39.640 --> 07:43.760] police agencies operate of which the public is unaware and would probably [07:43.760 --> 07:47.800] struggle to believe it if they saw it with their own eyes. Because I saw it [07:47.800 --> 07:52.200] with my own eyes, I couldn't stay. Not too many years after entering the [07:52.200 --> 07:56.560] private sector, I had a run-in with the IRS. I owned my own business and had an [07:56.560 --> 08:01.360] account non-retainer. I wasn't looking for a conflict with the IRS, but as I [08:01.360 --> 08:04.320] mentioned a minute ago, I learned about the perfidy of government from my [08:04.320 --> 08:09.240] interaction with government, and this is yet another example. As fate would have [08:09.240 --> 08:12.840] it, while discussing the IRS issue with some friends one night at dinner, they [08:12.840 --> 08:16.280] told me that Congress had never imposed the income tax on ordinary working [08:16.280 --> 08:21.600] Americans and the narrative that everyone owes income tax was a scam. To be [08:21.600 --> 08:25.200] clear, I didn't immediately assume that was true. The only reason I even gave it [08:25.200 --> 08:28.960] a second thought is the men who told me about it were both highly intelligent. [08:28.960 --> 08:31.920] Neither was the kind of person to repeat something like that without having [08:31.920 --> 08:37.920] researched it. That conversation took place in 1992 or 93, which was before the [08:37.920 --> 08:41.240] internet was a viable tool, so they gave me the names of two books on this [08:41.240 --> 08:45.320] subject and told me where to get them. In fact, they refused to tell me anything [08:45.320 --> 08:49.040] more about the matter unless or until I showed the gumption to buy those books [08:49.040 --> 08:54.840] and read them, which I did, promptly. Even after reading the books, I wasn't [08:54.840 --> 08:59.760] convinced, but the IRS's actions and what I found in the books was enough to peak [08:59.760 --> 09:04.800] my curiosity a lot. Because I had followed through on buying and reading [09:04.800 --> 09:08.680] the books, my friends then not only shared with me more, but introduced me to [09:08.680 --> 09:12.920] others in what eventually became known as the tax honesty movement. Once my own [09:12.920 --> 09:16.360] research verified that Congress had never imposed the income tax on ordinary [09:16.360 --> 09:21.960] working Americans, it was game on. Since I knew most Americans believe the [09:21.960 --> 09:27.460] government's propaganda, its disinformation, and were afraid, literally [09:27.460 --> 09:31.360] afraid, to even consider the government had lied to them about something on that [09:31.360 --> 09:35.200] scale, I knew if I was ever to reach my fellow citizens with the truth, the [09:35.200 --> 09:41.960] evidence would have to be copious, comprehensive, and indisputable. 17 years [09:41.960 --> 09:45.600] after that first conversation, I published Income Tax Shattering the [09:45.600 --> 09:50.560] Miss, which fulfills all of those requirements and more. Income Tax [09:50.560 --> 09:54.200] Shattering the Miss hit the market 12 years ago, and the jury is still out in [09:54.200 --> 09:57.720] my mind on whether the American people have the balls to do anything about it. [09:57.720 --> 10:02.580] Perhaps after seeing what the government did during COVID, Americans are more [10:02.580 --> 10:07.000] open, less afraid, to take off their blinders and have a look at the truth. I [10:07.000 --> 10:10.580] should probably add I haven't filed an income tax return or paid a penny in [10:10.580 --> 10:16.380] income tax since 1993, because I know what the law really says. Eventually I [10:16.380 --> 10:22.020] began studying human physiology. Because physiology is a hard science, there [10:22.020 --> 10:29.100] wouldn't be government or industry disinformation on that, right? After [10:29.100 --> 10:33.740] living through 2020, 21, and 22, I imagine everyone is now aware government and [10:33.740 --> 10:38.940] billion-dollar corporations can, and do, buy any scientific results they want. A [10:39.300 --> 10:43.420] former British Journal of Medicine senior editor wrote an article, perhaps two [10:43.420 --> 10:47.880] years ago, in which he stated he believes 40% of all published science is fraudulent. [10:47.880 --> 10:53.300] Not mistaken, fraudulent. Other expositors have estimated that up to 90% of all [10:53.300 --> 10:58.740] published science contains such errors as to render it unreliable. My physiology [10:58.740 --> 11:03.420] studies revealed what was for me a shocking difference between how the [11:03.420 --> 11:07.620] human body actually operates and the narratives that have been put out to the [11:07.620 --> 11:12.300] American people for the last 40-plus years by government and trillion-dollar [11:12.300 --> 11:18.900] industries. The human body is an amazing biological structure comprised of tens [11:18.900 --> 11:23.700] of thousands of integrated systems all working in perfect harmony. To say I am [11:23.700 --> 11:26.900] in awe of how the human body operates would be one of the all-time great [11:26.900 --> 11:32.140] understatements. So, with our consciousness writing in such an amazing [11:32.140 --> 11:36.900] biological system, how come the American people, the most chronically ill society [11:36.900 --> 11:41.420] in all of human history? Once again, it's because government and trillion-dollar [11:41.420 --> 11:46.300] industries conspired to create those trillions of dollars in revenue for [11:46.300 --> 11:52.180] those industries. The only catch was you have to be sick for to work. Of course, [11:52.180 --> 11:54.980] that wasn't a problem for government bureaucrats or leaders of those [11:54.980 --> 12:00.100] industries who have a revolving door with one to the other. There is no money [12:00.100 --> 12:05.940] in healthy people nor in dead people, but there are trillions of dollars to be [12:05.940 --> 12:12.060] made from sick people. And here we are, the most ill society in history. As a [12:12.060 --> 12:16.700] side note, in my book Body Science, I not only lay out the truth about how human [12:16.700 --> 12:20.900] physiology really works, but I detail the decades of government and industry [12:20.900 --> 12:24.660] disinformation that has led to Americans being the sickest people in [12:24.660 --> 12:29.740] human history. To recap, my lesson about government and industry lies began after [12:29.740 --> 12:33.220] I left the military. Want to keep a vicious tyrant in power because he'll do [12:33.220 --> 12:37.580] whatever the U.S. tells him? Easy-peasy, just lie to young American men so [12:37.580 --> 12:40.860] they'll feel justified in murdering the people who are actually fighting for [12:40.860 --> 12:45.340] freedom. Back at home, have police department brass knowingly, willfully, [12:45.340 --> 12:49.420] intentionally take steps to ensure as many people die from drugs and street [12:49.420 --> 12:54.260] violence as necessary to keep the agency's budget going. Want to commit the [12:54.260 --> 12:58.020] largest financial crime in the world? No sweat for the government and the [12:58.020 --> 13:02.580] trillion-dollar private sector compliance industry engaged in a 60-year [13:02.580 --> 13:07.020] massive disinformation campaign, all tossing in a little domestic terrorism, [13:07.020 --> 13:12.820] and boom, you've got it. Hundreds of millions of brave Americans get down on [13:12.820 --> 13:17.060] their knees and do whatever they're told. The experiences I've just shared with [13:17.060 --> 13:21.660] you or why I'm known for the sentence, the government lies, lies all the time, and [13:21.660 --> 13:25.740] lies even when the truth would serve it well. I shared these experiences to [13:25.740 --> 13:32.460] explain why I feel bad, even sad for John. I've known since my early 20s at the [13:32.500 --> 13:35.260] federal government will lie to get whatever it wants without regard to the [13:35.260 --> 13:39.620] consequences to completely innocent people. I've known since my late 20s that [13:39.620 --> 13:43.220] local governments are more than willing to run scams on the public. Agency [13:43.220 --> 13:47.780] executives actively support the scam to protect their budgets even when the scam [13:47.780 --> 13:52.420] harms or even kills members of the community they swore to serve. I've known [13:52.420 --> 13:56.180] since my early 30s that the federal government is committing the largest [13:56.180 --> 14:00.980] financial crime in world history and its victims are the very people for whom the [14:00.980 --> 14:05.900] government supposedly exists to serve. I've known since my 50s that the US [14:05.900 --> 14:09.260] government and trillion-dollar industries have actively conspired to [14:09.260 --> 14:12.860] make the American public the most ill society in human history with both [14:12.860 --> 14:17.580] entities having no problem making you sicker and sicker so the revenue of [14:17.580 --> 14:21.540] those industries continues to grow. I believe John's awakening about [14:21.540 --> 14:25.780] government is like a person discovering after years of marriage that his or her [14:25.780 --> 14:31.180] spouse had repeated affairs. John believed in the fidelity of government as [14:31.180 --> 14:35.020] much as most people believe in the fidelity of their spouse. Learning it's [14:35.020 --> 14:41.380] all been a lie and that fidelity isn't there is painful. I'm guessing John is [14:41.380 --> 14:46.140] about 70 years old and he's believed in the fidelity of government for roughly [14:46.140 --> 14:51.820] 50 years only learning the truth about a year ago. How painful is that at his age [14:51.820 --> 14:56.980] after decades of believing government is trustworthy. A few minutes ago I [14:56.980 --> 15:01.020] mentioned John's early content exhibited a sycophantic belief in [15:01.020 --> 15:05.940] government and other large institutions. We've also discussed John's awakening. So [15:05.940 --> 15:10.780] where does John stand today? Again I don't want to speak for John but I think [15:10.780 --> 15:14.900] it's fair to say he's now on the opposite side of the fence essentially [15:14.900 --> 15:18.940] doubting the credibility and intentions of any agency institution or person who [15:18.940 --> 15:26.020] was saying in 2023 the things John was saying in 2020 and 2021. Given John's [15:26.020 --> 15:32.060] awakening and his near-complete 180 how is it he's still on YouTube? Simple. If [15:32.060 --> 15:36.100] John presents data that conflicts with or disproves the position of government [15:36.100 --> 15:40.620] health organizations he refrains from stating those conclusions instead he [15:40.620 --> 15:46.500] tells his audience he's not allowed his words not allowed to say those things. [15:46.540 --> 15:51.180] John and I have different temperaments. I was unwilling to play that game. I [15:51.180 --> 15:55.660] stated the facts plainly including scientific conclusions disproving [15:55.660 --> 16:00.660] government health agency positions so YouTube removed my channel. John has [16:00.660 --> 16:05.060] chosen a different path. I don't know that there's a right or wrong on this. I [16:05.060 --> 16:09.540] merely say I was unwilling to be muzzled in the slightest when people's lives [16:09.540 --> 16:13.020] were on the line. I will always speak the truth plainly as I know it and [16:13.020 --> 16:17.460] corporations like YouTube can go fuck themselves. That doesn't make John's [16:17.460 --> 16:21.980] approach wrong or bad. Here's an interesting side note to all this. Most [16:21.980 --> 16:26.580] people know or I hope they know that Wikipedia's content is now controlled by [16:26.580 --> 16:29.700] government and trillion dollar industries. If there are two sides to an [16:29.700 --> 16:33.900] issue on Wikipedia you'll only find the information the establishment wants you [16:33.900 --> 16:38.460] to see. In other words Wikipedia engages in censorship to the same extent as do [16:38.460 --> 16:43.620] companies like Facebook and YouTube perhaps worse. The Wikipedia page on John [16:43.620 --> 16:49.140] is quite amusing. It portrays John as being a good guy doing good work in 2020 [16:49.140 --> 16:55.340] and 2021 then characterizes who has spreading misinformation beginning in [16:55.340 --> 17:00.500] 2020. In other words as long as John was asleep and trusted everything the [17:00.500 --> 17:06.300] government and Big Pharma put out he was doing good work but once the science and [17:06.500 --> 17:10.980] the perfidy of government officials roused him from his slumber and he began [17:10.980 --> 17:15.420] seeing them and their narrative for what they are Wikipedia then portrays him as [17:15.420 --> 17:20.540] one of those netty conspiracy theorists spreading disinformation. Funny how that [17:20.540 --> 17:24.180] works. I should also point out the people who are accusing John of spreading [17:24.180 --> 17:29.100] misinformation are the ones spreading disinformation that results in injury or [17:29.100 --> 17:33.980] death. I'll choose the good heart of John Campbell any day all day over the [17:33.980 --> 17:38.140] reprehensible immorality of those condemning him. If you'd like to learn [17:38.140 --> 17:41.500] the truth about the income tax allow me to encourage you to go to drreality.news [17:41.500 --> 17:45.420] and pick up a copy of income tax shattering the myths. Same with the [17:45.420 --> 17:49.260] truth about human physiology. If you want to leave all the disinformation behind [17:49.260 --> 17:53.420] and discover how to get incredibly healthy go to drreality.news and grab a [17:53.420 --> 17:57.300] copy of body science either or both will be the most fascinating books you've [17:57.300 --> 18:01.980] ever read you have my word on that. Also by purchasing body science and or [18:02.020 --> 18:06.540] income tax shattering the myths you help me to continue to be here for you with [18:06.540 --> 18:10.500] these thought-provoking presentations.
