Re-Interview: Media Capture, TNI and the COVID Cartel

Day 2 · 4:29:10 · Jason Lavigne · Ron Johnson · Dean Allison

  • 📺 Johnson is unsurprised no mainstream cameras are at the inquiry, citing total non-coverage of his Marks report as proof of captured media.
  • 💊 He lumps Biden officials, Big Pharma, health agencies and media as a “COVID cartel,” with pharma ads buying narrative rather than selling drugs.
  • 🛡️ The Trusted News Initiative, he says, shifted from election “misinformation” to COVID and coined “malinformation” for inconvenient truth.

Lavigne and Johnson revisit why legacy outlets ignore the inquiry and safety data.

Jason Lavigne · 4:29:10

Hello, this is Jason Lavigne here with Senator Ron Johnson from the US, who's up here at the Allison Inquiry sharing some testimony with us. First of all, thank you very much for coming up to Canada.

Ron Johnson · 4:29:20

Well, thanks for coming to the event.

Jason Lavigne · 4:29:23

Wouldn't miss this for the world. We're one of the channels that were doing this from the very beginning. We've lost our YouTube channel twice covering this particular topic. And as you see in that room, there's probably 5 or 6, uh, independent media sitting there, but no mainstream media. Normally for something like this, you see a whole wall of cameras and the big cameras, right? And, uh, a lot of lights and all that. But you're not seeing that here in Canada. Are you a little bit surprised?

Dean Allison · 4:29:46

No.

Ron Johnson · 4:29:48

Uh, you know, I talked about my, what I consider a blockbuster report from April 29th, uh, which revealed that Peter Marks, head of the division that approves vaccines for safety, was warned that an algorithm was going to hide safety signals. He was shown the safety signals, continued to use the old algorithm that, that hit him, and denies the safety signals to this day. So, uh, not one major news network, not one major, uh, newspaper has covered that as news. I've been interviewed on some of their talk shows. But it's never been covered as news. So, and we, we, we have capture, uh, of our media and of our federal health agencies by Big Pharma. Um, the fact that, uh, in America we allow Big Pharma to advertise on network TV, uh, they don't— if you ever watch one of those drug ads, they're not selling the drug, they're buying the narrative. And they effectively bought the narrative during COVID and, and they're still buying it.

Dean Allison · 4:30:46

Well, I'm glad you used the word captured because that was my next question.

Jason Lavigne · 4:30:49

As you saw on like CNN and Anderson Cooper, brought to you by Pfizer, there would be the little commercial break there. And you also talked about the Trusted News Initiative here in your testimony. Have you noticed that the institution has been fully captured, not just by the drug companies, but by a larger organization like the Trusted News Initiative? And what are your thoughts about trying to reverse that and maybe ending that kind of capturing of your media and up here in Canada as well?

Ron Johnson · 4:31:12

I, I lumped them all together as the, the COVID cartel. And include the Biden administration, including media, included Big Pharma, with the federal, federal health agencies. So the Trust the News initiative is just one of the, one of the tools they used, uh, you know, developed by the BBC, first of all, to combat misinformation on, on elections, but then they very effectively switched over to, uh, misinformation, uh, on the coronavirus and, and COVID. Uh, they came up with a new term, mal-information, which is the truth but just not in the way that, uh, you know, the COVID cartel wants to hear it.

Jason Lavigne · 4:31:52

Now, down in the U.S., it was a little bit more free because you actually do have freedom of speech down there, and you saw people like Joe Rogan talking about this very early. But then the media went after Joe Rogan, you know, painted that picture of him all orange because he was talking about having COVID and dealing with it. What were your thoughts at that time when you saw some of that happening?
