There are a few things that link grifters, especially grifters on the topic of COVID.
One is making nonsensical claims, the other is pushing alternative medicines.
Even if those medicines aren't actually a medicine for
the thing they're being claimed to treat.
And even if they have incredibly negative side effects,
like potentially turning you blue.
Yes, blue colloidal silver, which is being pushed as a cure to COVID can do that.
And we've got a little bit of a video promoting this product
by apparently future Blue Man Candace Owens, take a look at this.
>> Any questions colloidal silver, I take colloidal silver every single day.
I love colloidal silver that is a great one.
And that is another one that people probably know nothing about.
>> Well, some people don't know anything about it,
I guess because it's not medicine, it's certainly not medicine for COVID.
It is something that, we were talking with Brett Jenks a little bit ago and
he was at one point doing a video way back in the days of viral video film school
about that being used as a treatment for other things.
It's just whenever there's a random thing that pops up colloidal silver is one
of the things that quacks online will promote as a treatment for it.
Even though if you talk to doctors, you talk to the Mayo Clinic,
it has no valid medical purpose, there's potential dangers as well.
One of the most common is that it can cause seizure or organ problems.
You will probably be okay except for the COVID that's going around, but
it also has a famous side effect.
Algeria condition that turns users skin a bluish gray color,
usually permanently despite those risks.
Colloidal silver has sometimes been embraced by political outsiders,
including some libertarians seeking treatments for
a variety of illnesses outside of the medical system.
And what do you know in time for COVID it's popping up once again
with people like Candace Owens telling you that you shouldn't get vaccinated,
You should take some silver liquid instead.
>> Yeah, I think this is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
I have a couple of theories on what they're trying to do,
including becoming the new version of the smurfs.
But first I wanna show you pictures of what this looks like
when it goes wrong because this is hilarious.
So let's show you a picture of a man who I
took this colonial silver and yeah,
no joke that's what he looks like that's Paul Carlson.
But there was also a state legislator that took it and looked similar.
He wasn't quite as blue, but he was definitely blue gray, but
this is what it can look like.
And that's Papa Smurf right there.
Okay, and it's permanent look, john, I have a different theory.
They wanna turn themselves blue, so
that they can call democrats racist for being against blue people.
What do you think?
>> I think maybe you're on something, more victims right there.
Those guys do not have to worry about COVID not at all,
you'll notice they're not wearing masks.
Why would they?
They're already blue, but anyway, like if you go back to the photo
of the actual guy, I don't know, maybe this is like controversial, whatever.
Don't do this, don't I think it looks kind of cool honestly, especially with
the white facial hair, I don't know, it looks interesting let's mix things up.
But there's no look, the actual answer is, and
always has been very simple, especially for COVID.
Get vaccinated, get boosted if necessary, wear a mask and try not to be around a lot
of other people who might expose you to COVID, that's the entire thing.
And we can do that and we can do that together and we can keep ourselves and
others safe as a society.
But they don't wanna be a part of that, they need their own thing.
They need their own brand, their own identity.
And when I say they, I mean the right,
but I also mean individual grifters like Candace Owens.
They have to have something that binds their group together and
nothing does that like being in opposition to something.
And so they're in opposition to common sense, rationality and actual medicine.
And so hydroxychloroquine Ivor Mactan now,
colloidal silver God only knows what else.
These don't actually like at least in this case,
it seems less likely to have negative health side effects other
than the possible rare instance of turning blue than some of the other things.
So I guess I would prefer that they waste their time and money on this.
But it's unfortunate that some people who will choose to trust people like
Candace Owens rather than keeping themselves safe as we hit record.
COVID cases will instead drink down silver.
>> Yeah, maybe it's a part of evolution then we can tell who they are easier.
That's the morons everyone in blue is a moron, right?
Or not in blue, but on blue, [LAUGH] it blue, of blue.
Maybe they got jealous of the blue wave and they thought, yeah,
we'll show you a blue wave.
Okay, is that blue icy apparently.
Okay, [LAUGH] but guys now the serious note now,
why do they go to like quack medicine like this?
Well there's two reasons number one, they're trying to do this rebel populace.
Cool outsider, stick, right, but
they don't actually want to be rebels or outsiders are populist.
So if they wanted to, they would tell you the media is lying to you,
they lie to you all the time.
Why does the media lie to you?
Why do the politicians lie to you?
Because they all agree that corporate rule is awesome and that you should all
give giant tax cuts to corporations, which trump did and the media celebrated, right?
That's the one thing that he did and that's the one thing they loved and
deregulate all the corporations including the media companies so
they can have more and more power.
But the right wing leaders, I actually love that and they get paid by those guys,
so they can't actually direct you towards things that make sense.
You know you have this instinct and you're right that the politicians are liars,
that the media is lying to you.
But they can't tell you the real reason why because they love the real reason.
They they're part of the real reason because they love giving everything to
the corporations.
So they got to invent something absurd.
Yeah it's what that it's the pharmaceutical companies and
I mean don't worry about OxyContin and all that stuff today.
They actually made money and stuff, but it's that's what it is.
So that's why you shouldn't take the vaccine and
then you should take I've ever met.
But I remember was also made by the pharmaceutical companies.
It's all racket guys,
but then there's a second layer to it john where the grifters then come in and
go look I don't care about my own audience viewers readers at all.
They're just suckers to take advantage of.
That's Candace Owens, one on one Alex Jones one on one etc.
So what am I gonna do?
And by the way this is an old school racket originally done by Pat Robertson
and the religious clowns, right?
I have a miracle shake,
I have a good testosterone thing shake thing that's gonna make you manly.
And now it's like, yeah, we have this great thing.
It's going to prevent COVID and make you a smurf, but whatever, it's awesome, right?
And what do you do next john well you have to
pay Candace Owens to by the colonial silver.
You have to pay Alex chose to buy a stupid miracles shake Pat Robertson same thing.
They're making money off of turning you into smurfs, you dumbasses, okay?
You have to know when and how to understand concepts like yes,
companies often lie to you for profit.
And then figure out why, how, hey,
they incentivize a certain percentage of doctors through conferences etc.
To spread the painkillers and pretend that it doesn't cause your problems and
then they get the media to play along etc.
You could see exactly how that racket works.
It's logical and makes sense, they do it for profit, and they're lying for profit.
The other sites is all of the doctors, not just some, not just some companies,
every doctor on the planet is lying instead.
You should turn yourself blue, it was something that doesn't work.
Come on guys, please use your minds and I know you guys are sad about the state
of political affairs and it's making you blue, but don't go down this road.
They're grifters and it's super obvious.
>> It's also super obvious that that commenter who brought up dad jokes
definitely put that idea in your mind because we've been getting them anyway.
