Greg Carlwood’s Coronavirus Comments & Concerns

00:00 It's the Higher Side Jaxx podcast, but you can call it THC. Always talking fringe ideas digging up conspiracies Stuff they don't want you to know is this stuff we wanna see That's life here on the higher side Guys and gals! How ya doing out there? From sunny San Diego, I'm Greg Carlwood and i think we're just gonna skip the intro because this isn't really a show in the traditional sense for THC. And of course I did just say in the last wrap-up how sick I am of hearing about this virus and I just want to keep doing shows that I have planned but you know that was in the old world when we could still leave the house and restaurants were a thing

00:50 And I'm half kidding, but things have changed pretty drastically in just a few days and i'm feeling the need to say something just based off the emails that I'm getting from people who are really worried out there. I get it! I understand why you would be and a lot of people do look to a show like THC for guidance at least that's what the things in my email inbox are saying now But it's important to remember that I am just a regular guy like a lot of you. Sure, I'm skeptical of the system and don't exactly trust what I'm being told especially when what I'm being told translates directly into more control over the population but i am no doctor, have no insider knowledge and of course research things but if your listener and hear the same shows that are recording

01:47 the chasm between our insights might not be as wide as you think. Basically, I'm just saying that it's easy to want to scramble for answers and advice and i'm humbled that some people look at me that way And we should all have our trusted or preferred sources of information and I don't want to let anyone down That's why I'm saying something but sometimes things happen so quickly that I would be more skeptical of anyone claiming to have real answers right now I love you guys i want you to be safe and also critical but we have been doing the show for 10 years. We've talked to a lot of great guests about the immune system and proper care, trying to keep our stress levels down...we've been cultivating this knowledge for a long time for situations like this

02:42 But as i mentioned, I did record several THC shows before any of this stuff got to this sort of level. And yes! I want to roll those out but I've also recorded two since that time in which the story got too big and too intrusive to ignore and I wanna get those out sooner and I'm working on some more targeted guests that might be more tuned into this particular topic as their expertise But those are not gonna get recorded until next week and this could all either be blown over by then or we could be in a situation of even. A tighter more aggressive lockdown but an example of this is like i interviewed ross ben yesterday and it's being edited now he's not expert on viruses,

03:29 And he didn't come here to talk about that, but we had it on the books. He came here to talk about 5G wellness 101 and mitigating EMF with sacred stones and crystals... But this virus story is getting too big to ignore! 5G might be a problem but its not as immediate as what were dealing with today So yes, we talked about it and I do think hes got some insights, but its just two guys pitballing really And I try to refer to this situation as a virus story or a virus saga because i just don't know how serious, or severe an actual virus is. We can't know! What's really bothered me over the last 48 hours is more the move towards total lockdown and of course stories like this one about France

04:23 Tough new restrictions have come into force in France. No one can now leave home without a government form that they print out to justify their reason for being outside For the next two weeks people are only allowed out to go to work, buy essential food or medical supplies for family emergency or exercise or walk a dog but they must be on their own and face fine if these conditions aren't met concerning stuff. And I said when i shared this, when we're all inside signing forms to leave... When is a virus gone? We're accepting this because we're expecting it to be over in a couple of weeks but what if we're told that it's gone airborne and now we're just safer doing everything we do in quarantine

05:11 And I've seen information suggesting multiple scenarios when it comes to an actual virus. Could be something that accidentally got out from the Wuhan biolab, and the market is just a scapegoat? Does make sense. Conveniently there's a biolab there! I also never discount some corporate or intergovernmental espionage... Maybe THAT operation happened and clearly would have gotten out of hand if that were the case I've also heard stories about this virus being way more deadly than they're saying, that they're fudging the numbers. And that's the reason for what seems to be a big overreaction. You can't totally discount that either but there are always going to be counter-narratives that are also untrue

06:00 Like a mild conspiracy hidden within an operation like this i would say if we look at nine eleven, i am on the side of doctor judy wood directed energy weapons basically a completely new technology and unstudied technology and then you have the narrative of nano thermite. To me, nanothermite is something injected into the story for people to latch onto who are of the 9-11 truth variety so that it keeps the prospect of this unknown alternative energy technology off the table. You see how it's a limited hangout? If they can't keep both things a secret

06:44 that they caused 9-11 and that they used an exotic weapon to do it, they can at least hide one of those things with a clever cover story. I don't discount that possibility when people are saying oh this virus is more deadly than its said to be That gives people who are alternative thinkers an alternative narrative that conveniently would cause more paranoia not less but again Alternative thinkers expect there to be some lies in the narrative. It's just about where are the lies? And that is your own discernment! You also have people like Don Luster and David Parker who would side more with John Rappaport, that this is a heavily manufactured story A PSYOP Highly charged and hyped up and maybe there is no real virus at all

07:36 I don't want to affirm that myself because i don't know. But, I am keeping up with John Rappaport at nomorefakenews.com just because I do find him compelling and I want there to be no virus! I asked him to come on THC and I'm sure he's just too busy right now it's all good but I am concerned over how quickly we are to accept this more the measures in the policies than accept the reality of a virus There's not a lot of questions being asked and the authorities have been very overwhelming with their particular narrative. And it all happened so quick! I've joked with so many friends back in Missouri who think the value of living back there is that when shit hits the fan, they're a little more off-the-grid and i always joke and say well when this shit hits the fan, ill see it coming and ill get back there and we'll start our little community

08:36 And then this happened and it happened quite quick. And I wonder, could i even get on a plane now to go back to Missouri? Granted, I could drive and sure I could probably fly but I've had this conversation with people outside of the country too who live in similar situations Could I leave the country right now if I wanted to? I just read a story that they closed the American-Canadian border so I don't know I hope we learn a few lessons when we get on the other side of this about controlling our own lives, system dependence and self-sufficiency. We knew that we should have taken care of some things in our lives but were just waiting and hopefully next time we don't wait!

09:25 But this whole idea that we're only interacting through the internet now has me really concerned. I've seen a decent amount of online censorship when it comes to some of the alternative theories about this virus that i've just kind of laid out there any threads that aren't particularly on brand for The Big Narrative are being censored by Facebook and YouTube with messages that their post has been deemed misinformation And we knew that was happening but when we've been sent home and were communicating almost fully through the internet, and now certain conversations and ideas are being limited it's way more impactful. We had a lot of guests talk about the importance of living in the real world and turning off the tv and getting off social media what do you know

10:16 What do we do when we've been banned from gathering and We've actually been made afraid of each other with very Orwellian language like social distancing It's an alarming precedent to set I'm not saying if it's justified or not But it is just an alarming precedent to set this virus isn't even that bad they say so what about the next virus? This is something. We can't see So when is it a problem And how can we ever really know if and when it's over? This whole operation seems to have gone so well, genuine or not again. How could they not use this technique in the future?" So these reactions and these policies are what concern me more than any virus I mean what is the phrase give me liberty or give me manageable flu-like symptoms i think is what they say

11:13 But again, not telling anyone what to do or how to think. These are just my thoughts and I have a lot of concerns about the economics of the whole thing. I know too many people who are living paycheck-to-paycheck working in the restaurant and service industries And I don't know what is going to happen to them but i will be there To help anyone that I know in my inner circle Who does need it because that's The role I think of a person has been digesting these kind of ideas for a long time or just anyone who's maybe more prepared you know you gotta help you and yours even if this is just some accidental. Random virus we know they never let a good crisis go to waste and i think that thats pretty apparent when u look at what's going on economically, we know that our economy has been on thin ice for a long long time

12:11 And I think the people with their hands on the financial levers are making moves right now under the guise of coronavirus panic that probably needed to be made anyway or were probably on shaky ground anyway. Let's let the bottom fall out now that we have a scapegoat and don't have to admit this debt-based system has been built for fail for long time Things didn't crash again because we didn't put anyone in jail after 2008, it was the virus. You know I think there's a lot of that going on but it does seem like all the efforts are about controlling people if this is so serious and it came from a particular type of market and thats the genuine source I would expect to see more measures aimed at changing how markets like that operate

13:04 It's like nobody is really worried about fixing the supposed practice that created these conditions, it's just about getting everyone home and relying on the apps and the internet to bring us what we need. And to communicate with the outside world What if some people are really traumatized by this? So traumatized that they start developing a bubble boy mentality I bet some will! I'm sure some have already... I am also concerned about a level where were signing forms to leave I don't think it's going to get there, but it makes me think about something like testing. What if we need to test negative to be out and about? You already know people are blindly putting their trust in these tests what about false positives now you're the pariah of your community

13:53 What if, and I'm stretching here but what if Amazon decides to be the hero here and ship everyone a test? And you've got to send it back to get the results. Maybe they selectively send false positive tests to people like us or maybe they just declare them positive when we have to send them back Now quarantine is mandatory and all your friends and family will think its justified symptoms are not We have to make sure were managing those levels of trust and skepticism, and discernment. You know everyone's talking about a vaccine too what if we have to get some kind of vaccine stamp on our ID to get back out into the public? I mean we are in uncharted waters here guys! We didn't do this for Ebola or for the swine flu or the bird flu... And i'm a bit concerned with the overall level of trust in the system

14:48 We can't control what the system does, but I'm also concerned with the shaming that i'm seeing of people who are outside. Lots of online shaming! And maybe we should all just play it safe for a while. Better safe than sorry, but it's a slippery slope and be careful not to let the paranoia of it all cause us to turn on each other because first were shaming people for being outside right now then were shaming them for not getting the vaccine and again we just have to be very careful with all this don't behave predictively and don't fight the systems fight for them

15:29 I already see this driving a wedge between millennials and boomers obviously that wedged was there but now the stakes are higher i see this causing all kinds of divisions and i just wanna. Fight back or speak out against that try to be more, Sober, so to speak of course. And just positive and fearless! Don't be reactionary and judgmental and paranoid try to support each other try to calm each other down we are the ones who should be prepared for this not necessarily like we've stocked up but we should be the reliable voice among the madness

16:13 And keep your sense of humor, please. We are beings of infinite awareness having an experience for Christ's sake! And we should also not only focus on the Orwellian martial law conspiratorial ideas and threads and thoughts we have around this situation it is also important to remember what we've learned about magic what we've learned about consciousness what we've learned about intention Intention works. Having positive thoughts works, the placebo effect works both ways I think that's important too don't take it for granted and involve yourself in those sorts of exercises intention exercises meditation prayer should i say no let's not go that far i kid

17:08 And I do think this will be as temporary as they're saying. I do hope that, but the Patriot Act still gets renewed... ...I still can't wear shoes on an airplane You know these things don't always get rolled back when the threat is over What about a virus next year? Or what if they say Wow we saw so much less CO2 during this crisis We're gonna have to regulate behavior more for the sake of the planet! Something to watch out for Amazon is also hiring 100,000 people We already know it's one of the worst companies to work for, closest thing to a back-breaking Chinese factory that we have. And if Amazon wasn't killing retail fast enough already it's doing a lot of damage right now and I can't even truly say buy local right now. I don't want to put anyone in the path of a potential virus so I don't have real advice It would be irresponsible to have any

18:07 other than be aware and be prepared mentally. Be wary of allowing the digital to be the middleman between all our human interaction for too long, and don't be afraid to get some sunlight! Don't be afraid to help each other and reach out to your friends and family that need you. We want to be the reliable person they're glad to know in tough times, not the chicken littles of their lives who are not here to say I told ya so or anything like that. I'm sounding very dramatic and defeatist but that's not our purpose

18:45 I hope we can just balance our concerns with our ability to be a light for the people. Such a lame phrase, but i do mean that! Have some fun take care of you and yours catch up on some movies and uh tune into THC we're gonna have a mix of shows that were recorded before and after things got crazy for the rest of March And I think that's a good thing. We have to continue to have other interests and other topics in our minds, it can't just be this one thing and remind yourself that you're better equipped for tough times than most take care out there keep those immune systems up for good measure and i'll either talk to you on Friday night's joint session 7 p.m pacific maybe it'll be a little group therapy for all of us

19:37 or you can just catch one of the killer shows that I got in the chamber. Best of luck, I love y'all, Serenity now! Yeah, the laughing Ely classics while the scheming on the masses who do you think this fancy suit and a stick
