WEBVTT 00:00.020 --> 00:07.100 Hello, my name is Larkin Rose, and this message is for the puppet masters who control the Deep State, 00:07.540 --> 00:13.940 the psychotic control freaks and financial interests, pulling the strings of the U.S. ruling class, 00:14.400 --> 00:21.400 and almost every other ruling class for that matter, to all you evil lunatics, I want to say this. 00:22.700 --> 00:28.860 I'd like to apply for a job working for you as controlled opposition. 00:28.860 --> 00:35.820 Frankly, being principled in pro-freedom isn't very lucrative, due in large part to the fact that you bastards, 00:36.580 --> 00:42.500 by way of your political underlings, steal astronomical amounts of money from all the productive people, 00:42.980 --> 00:49.220 and as a result, you can afford to fund all sorts of propaganda bullshit campaigns, 00:49.440 --> 00:56.340 while the people who oppose authoritarian theft and subjugation have to use their own money, 00:56.340 --> 00:59.320 what they have left, after you rob them. 01:00.220 --> 01:04.560 Now, don't get me wrong, a lot of good people have supported what I do over the years, 01:04.660 --> 01:09.300 but that can never compete with what the paid liars of the state make, 01:09.720 --> 01:17.560 so for the right price, I will start being a propagandist for you evil psychos instead of against you. 01:17.940 --> 01:23.180 Now, I've been loudly and consistently opposing all statism, all political power, 01:23.180 --> 01:28.960 all authoritarian control of anything for over 30 years now, 01:29.180 --> 01:34.780 but now I'm ready to turn over a new leaf and become a professional liar, 01:35.400 --> 01:39.840 propagandist, and slave-smith for you parasitical scumbags. 01:40.600 --> 01:45.140 And I don't have a huge following, but it's in the tens of thousands at least, 01:45.220 --> 01:51.620 and not very many people have consistently advocated for self-ownership, 01:51.620 --> 01:55.600 non-aggression, and a stateless society for as long as I have. 01:55.920 --> 02:01.900 So, given your vast wealth and power, I think buying my loyalty and my voice 02:01.900 --> 02:05.180 for a fair price should be well worth it to you. 02:05.700 --> 02:10.340 Now, if I start to sway my message more towards political action 02:10.340 --> 02:13.160 and a more pro-authoritarian agenda, 02:13.720 --> 02:19.060 kinda like Dave Smith, Alex Jones, and plenty of others have done, 02:19.060 --> 02:23.000 it's likely that a lot of the people who currently follow my work 02:23.000 --> 02:26.180 will be suspicious or downright pissed off. 02:26.520 --> 02:31.560 They don't tend to be the spineless, weak-minded cult follower types, 02:31.840 --> 02:36.480 so I can't promise you that they'll all come back to the status plantation 02:37.060 --> 02:42.480 when I tell them to, but I can tell you that even the ones who see through it 02:42.480 --> 02:48.100 and understand that I've sold them out will at least feel somewhat disheartened, 02:48.100 --> 02:51.340 stabbed in the back, let down, and discouraged, 02:52.260 --> 02:57.820 as they have felt so many times before when you bought off other freedom advocates. 02:58.660 --> 03:03.000 And if you can't get everybody to worship your all-powerful state, 03:03.700 --> 03:08.280 at least this might help make them feel a bit more hopeless and helpless 03:08.280 --> 03:11.320 at being betrayed yet again. 03:11.680 --> 03:15.400 And I'm already well-versed in all of the most effective tactics 03:15.400 --> 03:20.060 of sell-outs and controlled opposition, so you won't need to train me in that. 03:20.500 --> 03:25.700 For example, I could say that, well, the ultimate goal is a free, stateless society. 03:26.000 --> 03:32.180 Right now, this is an emergency, and we all need to support this or that candidate, 03:32.680 --> 03:35.300 or this or that legislative agenda or whatever. 03:35.700 --> 03:41.280 That other candidate is just so scary that we need to get out there and vote just this once. 03:41.980 --> 03:44.420 I could say I'm just being practical. 03:45.180 --> 03:49.720 It's unrealistic to advocate an actually free society, 03:50.180 --> 03:57.220 so I've decided to support the guy who I think will be the nicest, most permissive slave master. 03:57.480 --> 04:02.760 I mean, that's kind of the entire message of the libertarian party already. 04:03.500 --> 04:07.940 Hell, I could even run for office myself pretending to be pro-freedom 04:07.940 --> 04:11.860 and telling everyone that if they'll just give me the ring of power, 04:12.180 --> 04:14.380 I will use it to free them. 04:15.140 --> 04:19.900 Again, given the fact that I've spent decades bashing all such bullshit excuses 04:19.900 --> 04:23.820 for being a bootlicking house slave, it's gonna be a tough sell, 04:24.060 --> 04:28.600 and so for me to even attempt this is gonna cost you megalomaniacs. 04:29.340 --> 04:35.220 Of course, to you, it would be nothing since you can steal or fabricate as much money as you want. 04:35.220 --> 04:41.140 Anyway, so how about for a mere $5 million, let's say, 04:41.380 --> 04:46.020 dropping the bucket for you, for me to give you a full year 04:46.020 --> 04:53.040 of the best pro-state manipulations, spin, and propaganda that I can come up with. 04:53.480 --> 04:57.780 Disowning and disavowing, everything I've been saying for 30 years. 04:58.400 --> 05:00.980 Telling everyone that resistance is futile, 05:00.980 --> 05:06.440 that having a ruling class is inevitable, unavoidable, even necessary, 05:06.720 --> 05:11.780 and if we just vote for the right guy, we can use the system for good. 05:12.340 --> 05:17.900 And then after a year of that bullshit, I'll fake my death and disappear to the Bahamas or something. 05:18.560 --> 05:20.260 So what do you say? 05:21.100 --> 05:25.800 And you'll probably want assurances that I won't someday go back to advocating actual freedom, 05:25.800 --> 05:28.140 but that would sort of take care of itself. 05:28.140 --> 05:32.920 Since anyone who supports what I do today would instantly hate my guts 05:32.920 --> 05:37.620 if I came out tomorrow and started pushing status bullcrap. 05:38.220 --> 05:43.380 If I did that, me later trying to go back to advocating freedom 05:43.380 --> 05:47.380 would probably go over about as well as it did for Dan Bungino. 05:48.080 --> 05:54.780 But if you don't want to cough up the whole $5 million to pay me for some top-notch pro-authoritarian propaganda, 05:54.780 --> 05:59.580 for a smaller sum, I could do something less drastic. 06:00.160 --> 06:05.440 For a mere million dollars, I could just shut up from now on, 06:06.000 --> 06:08.940 take all my videos down, take all my books out of circulation. 06:09.700 --> 06:15.340 Or for the right price, I could sabotage myself on purpose in any number of ways. 06:15.740 --> 06:20.860 I could do the pack mentality routine, feed into the divide and conquer game 06:20.860 --> 06:27.200 by starting to blame the G's for everything or demonizing all black people 06:27.200 --> 06:30.900 or all Mexicans or just all foreigners or whatever, 06:31.240 --> 06:33.680 while still pretending to be pro-freedom. 06:33.860 --> 06:37.740 The kind of thing likely to make lots of decent rational people 06:37.740 --> 06:44.000 want to distance themselves from whatever I say and whatever I've said in the past. 06:44.700 --> 06:50.200 Now I know your favorite technique is to have serious leverage over all your little puppets. 06:50.200 --> 06:54.380 As insurance against them stepping out of line. 06:54.580 --> 06:58.760 But since I'm not a demented evil piece of crap myself, 06:59.120 --> 07:02.800 the Epstein method wouldn't actually work on me. 07:03.100 --> 07:08.560 But for a reasonable fee, I could help you fabricate some lesser accusation. 07:08.920 --> 07:14.060 So no one would want to listen to me or associate themselves with me ever again. 07:14.880 --> 07:20.020 Then even if all my past books and videos were still in circulation, 07:20.400 --> 07:25.560 they could just be dismissed as the work of that evil guy who got caught 07:25.560 --> 07:32.160 pulling the wings off of butterflies or feeding kittens that alligators or whatever. 07:32.920 --> 07:35.400 AI is good for that sort of thing these days. 07:36.000 --> 07:39.640 Demonize the messenger until no one wants to hear the message. 07:39.640 --> 07:43.980 And I could help you do it again for the right price. 07:44.500 --> 07:46.280 So those are some of the options. 07:46.620 --> 07:47.840 So what do you say? 07:48.620 --> 07:51.360 I mean, trying to push against the grain, 07:51.560 --> 07:56.240 trying to help un- indoctrinate humanity for all these years, 07:56.460 --> 07:59.580 it's been tiring and often frustrating. 07:59.860 --> 08:02.140 And I've been in debt for most of it. 08:02.420 --> 08:07.200 Often stressed about finances while spending so much time and effort 08:07.200 --> 08:12.380 trying to get humanity to outgrow the insane superstition of authority 08:12.380 --> 08:15.380 and to not bow to you evil bastards. 08:16.240 --> 08:20.540 I mean, I know you've already bought the souls of so many other 08:20.540 --> 08:27.220 supposed pro-freedom voices and I think my asking price is more than fair. 08:27.640 --> 08:29.600 So just let me know. 08:33.800 --> 08:34.700 Just kidding. 08:35.420 --> 08:39.160 I would die painfully broken alone before I'd ever help those evil shits. 08:39.620 --> 08:42.520 And most of the people who watch my channel already know that. 08:42.760 --> 08:49.300 So when after this video I suddenly disappear for a week, 08:49.520 --> 08:51.660 maybe two, which I'm going to, 08:52.460 --> 08:55.700 it's not because I'm dead and it's not because I sold out 08:55.700 --> 08:59.400 and no, I'm not going on vacation or taking a break. 08:59.760 --> 09:03.080 When I come back, I'll tell you why I temporarily disappeared. 09:03.700 --> 09:07.320 You can all concoct weird conspiracy theories about it in the meantime. 09:07.960 --> 09:11.560 I will say if you're happy that I'm not a bootlicking statist, 09:12.300 --> 09:13.260 unlike some people, 09:14.220 --> 09:17.800 and appreciate the fact that after 30 years of doing this, 09:17.980 --> 09:22.940 I still state the bleeding obvious in a way that any idiot should be able to understand it, 09:22.940 --> 09:27.460 then feel free to fling a couple bucks our way to support what we do here. 09:27.680 --> 09:30.480 Any and all support is always much appreciated. 09:31.300 --> 09:35.760 So Larkin Rose, signing off for now, going dark. 09:36.680 --> 09:37.980 See you all in a week or two.
