The following is a transcript from the Pro America Report.
Welcome, welcome. Welcome, Ed Martin here on the Pro America Report. Hey, go to proamericareport.com. Proamericareport.com. Check out there all my writings, especially on the J6 video. I have a couple of tips up there. Some people sent me some photographs of Mr. Coffee. We’ve got one of the other guys, we call them Gallows Cowboy. The Gallows Cowboy who was one of the gang. One of the fake gallows gang. We got some face shots of him. So we’re doing facial recognition. We’ll see if we find out who that is. We’re hoping still hoping to find out who these guys and it looks like. Guys, all guys. I don’t think there’s. Any women in that bunch of the Five fake gallows gang. So go to open dot INK, Open dot Ink slash J6 and you’ll see the J6 collection there.
So I want to expound, I want to explain better. Tell you more. About my theory, my new doctrine it goes along with the narrative machine. Of course, you’ve you’ve been inundated with my thoughts on the narrative machine and narrative machine is big government working with big tech and big media to push a narrative on the people in this country. And it’s very hard to beat back, very hard To beat back you – the narrative machine is really effective, really effective. So that’s you know that one.
But this one now is a is the a doctrine an action doctrine that goes along with the narrative machine because you know the narrative machine is there. You know the problem. You’re aware that you’ve got to fight through it. So what do you do? And you have to come up with a shorthand. You know, there’s someone told me once the rule of three. I don’t know if you’ve heard this. The rule of three, which is like for your phone. With my phone, there’s only three places my phone can be the the, the three places my phone could be is in my right pocket. Of my pants or my coat. On a charger, any charger that’s the other place, I don’t put it down loose or in the car on the center console. Those are the three places I put it so that I won’t ever lose it. The rule of three. Shorthand will help you, simplify will help you. You might try it. Same thing with my glasses. I either have my glasses in my, hanging on my shirt. In my pocket or on the on the center console actually must be the rule of four there on the center console is going to say that’s where I put them in the car, but I also put it on next to the on the in the bathroom when I go to bed in the evening. So there’s four. The rule of four there, but simplify. So that when you say, where did I put something? You never put it down. In my case, I never put it down. My phone down in a place that I wouldn’t know where to look. It’s either on the charger, in my pocket or in The car. That’s the only places anyway. So there. This is my rule of three. Simplify is helpful.
Here’s the simplification, the action, the action doctrine, that captures the living with the narrative machine and everything else. Everything else, and it’s this one. Distrust. Then verify. The old one was trust, but verify that was Ronald Reagan. He he got that from a phrase in Russian when he was studying, preparing for the Soviet summits. He had a teacher. I think a language teacher as well as a policy person. I believe it was a woman. Actually, I can’t think of her name now and she used that phrase and told him about it and he decided to use it. Trust but verify. Mine is distrust. Then verify.
Distrust. The starting point is I don’t believe you. When it’s the government, when it’s the media, I don’t believe you, but I’ll verify it. I’ll. I’m gonna go. And now first, I’m gonna distrust you. Then I’ll verify you.
And here’s how well it works. Did you see the images? And. And there were some images, but the description that the breathless reporting first by the people, the Hamas people, saying Israel bombed a a hospital. Then the media reported it, Israel bombed the hospital. Then the Israelis pushed back and said no, it was Hamas that bombed the hospital themselves, and all of it was distrust. Then verify. And it took about 3 days and it looks like whatever, whoever shot the missile. It was in like a parking lot. It wasn’t on a hospital. It was nothing like what we were told. Now that’s a dramatic example, and it’s a dramatic example that feels like it’s meant to draw us into war and draw the American people to support whatever’s going on.
But I’m not even talking about that part of it. I’m just saying as an operating system, as a principle. Distrust then verify is the best way to break The spell that we’re under in terms of. The fake news in terms of what government tells us in terms of so you could take any example, you know, distrust, then verify the Select Committee, the Pelosi, Liz Cheney Select Committee report. They put out a 250 page report. There were like 150 footnotes start out distrust then verify. When you dig into it, you realize they ignored whole segments of of the events of January 5th and 6th. When you dig into it, you realize that they deleted the videos of of depositions and they destroyed other evidence, and they stored evidence in other places. So distrust and verify it may mean distrust. Then verify and when you go to verify, you find out. Ohh well, what’s really true? What’s really true is not what they’re telling me.
Now, in the case of January 6, we still haven’t gotten to the bottom of it.
Here’s another one. The the media covered the occupation of House of Government Buildings in the last 48 hours by Pro Hamas Pro Palestinian protesters, and they covered it, the headline said Jewish groups: A call for ceasefire. And you’re like, ohh, Jewish groups called for ceasefire. Wow. Distrust and verify. You look at it closer. It wasn’t Jewish groups. I mean, there were a few Jewish people there. It was a maybe some Jewish liberal Jewish group. It was the Palestinian Hamas activists on the far left. And they were not peace. These weren’t peace. They’re calling for a ceasefire. Because they already got their licks in, Hamas already destroyed a whole bunch of people. And so you have to distrust, then verify you have to work your way backwards from the what you’re seeing and what the again, the narrative machine has those three big parts. Big government will tell you something. Big Media will tell you something. Big Tech will tell you something. You’re gonna have to work your way back. Fight your way back through it and get to the truth of it. And it’s a really good system. It’s a really good principle and really good action step to take with the principle if you if you’re aware of the challenge, you’re not. You’re not going to be misled as readily.
And let me be clear, if you think that the only propagandists are on the left, think again. The Uni-Party, for example in Washington DC, that wants more spending and has to have another 100 billion for Israel. And 50 or whatever. Billion for Ukraine and all that. That’s not one party or the other. Sometimes it will even be conservatives, so-called, that will be using telling you something you still have to use distrust, then verify.
Do not fall for the idea that ohh, it’s Fox News. Therefore I can Trust it. No, you can’t trust it in this environment. You cannot trust it in this current day and age. You simply cannot trust any of those kinds of mess. Any, any narrative you hear without verifying it.
It’s pretty tedious. It makes it so you have to work kind of hard and you know, one of the reasons X, formerly known as Twitter is valuable is you can track a whole bunch of people in a short period of time so that if you see, I don’t know, Cernovich saying something, you go OK, Cernovich he, he’ll make everybody mad on both sides. He’ll make he’s more conservative than not, but he he makes trumpsters mad. He makes De Santis people mad. He’ll he’ll make people mad on all sides. It’s kind of. His Brand. So if you see Cernovich, if you see some noticeable ah person I I seem to get Maria Bartiromo in my in my Twitter my X feed a lot and she’s she’s a news person she tends to lean left it seems but you know when you see something she says you distrust it and then verify. And if you do that and you on on X, you can quickly look at a few other people or quickly do a search and you can find a few voices that you trust that can either agree or disagree amongst themselves, and then you can go from there. You know, if you get three or four people that you Trust. And they’re saying the same thing. They’re backing up the same thing. Well, then you say. OK, I I’ve got. I’ve got something I can rely on. I I’ve verified that At least it’s true in the way that it’s been reported or talked about. So that’s that.
That’s my, that’s my pitch for X, by the way. I think X is the value of X. Is that you Can go through and catch a number of different voices and see if they match up. I’m not saying, I’m not saying that you go and say ohh I’m definitely gonna listen to this person or that. I saw Sean Hannity on Twitter. Therefore I believe it. No way. I saw Glenn Greenwald on Twitter and I believe it. No way. I saw Elon Musk on Twitter and I believe it. No way, but distrust and verify.
Distrust. Then verify says OK, I distrust it, but I’m interested. Let me see if I go back it up. Let me see if I can get a couple. By the way, a couple of people like Mike Benz, Mike Benz is out there again today with some message. I forget right now what it was, but it was about ohh it was about the fight. There’s a back and forth between Elon Musk and the founder of Wikipedia, Elon Musk called it Wokipedia and Jimmy Wales is complaining. That’s the founder of Wikipedia. He’s complaining – he’s a leftist. He’s a far left guy. I don’t know if he’s far left, but he’s pretty identified as liberal and he’s complaining about X and so Elon Musk and he going back and forth and Mike Benz immediately jumped in and said, hey, wait a second, Jimmy Wales does this and he’s on some board of a of an entity that’s regulating disinformation and and Mike Benz always points out the groups that are regulating disinformation. This one is an EU group. They’re the ones that are trying to control who says what. And so it. Mike Benz. Mike Benz is a guy that when you hear him. You can distrust then verify, but pretty quickly you can verify his stuff. He’s usually showing. He’s usually showing the receipts as that people say these days, so there You have it. That’s what you need to know today.
