Mark,
I'm enjoying your GB News show, it's such a welcome break from American 'telly'.
Question: as is now apparent, the major internet platforms (from GoFundMe to Facebook) can no longer be relied upon by conservatives. Is it possible for the right to develop an entirely separate ecosystem, from banking to entertainment to education? Is this where we need to be?
Cheers,
Peter

Hi Mark,
What recourse do the Canadian truckers now have to stop vaccine mandates? At least in the U.S. an appeal could be made to Federal courts citing various provisions of the Constitution. Doesn't our Constitution protect us from the tyranny of the majority. (Sorry I'm waving the Constitution.)

Mark, putting aside the coronavirus mandates, do you think that trucker convoys and trucker blockades will become a permanent political tradition in Canada as they are in France and some other places? In the 2000s, we saw the politicization of pipelines. Now trucking. Are railways and airways next? We are in a situation that was unimaginable in 2020, and unfamiliar to Canadians since the 1970s, yet the politicians are trying to express it in terms of woke boilerplate. Will this all go away soon and be forgotten, or will this new polarization and politicization fester on for decades?

Afternoon Mark - love the Club! Really enjoying the long-form interviews on GB News!
You know those soft, lily-livered Americans you're always going on about, who still watch sports even though the leagues themselves hate their fans? Well, I'm one of those suckers. At least, for one particular team in one particular league, but I digress. I've always loved the Olympics, but this time around I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. How disgraceful is it that our politicians and heads of the US Olympic Committee either won't acknowledge the human rights abuses in China, or offer some vacant answer about remaining politically neutral? We're talking about people in camps!
Thank you for all you do!

Hi Mark - tremendous show on GB !
Here in New Zealand ,we experiencing a pitiful display of governance. I support several organisations that expose this government and they are valuable.
But the dictums just keep on coming, is it all part of the great reset ambitions of the worlds elite and powerful that infect all small economies like ours ? Are we powerless against them ?

Mark, in your Royal Watch segment, you overlooked to mention that the King-in-waiting is also a committed Islamophile ("Defender of _all_ faiths") in addition to his longstanding Climate Crisis campaigning ("Only 8 Years to Save the Planet" in 2009, revised to 10 years in 2020).
Prince Charles was the first notable public figure to refer to The Great Reset in June 2020, when he convened the 50th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum.
I understand the reluctance of respected commentators to wander into conspiracy theory territory (notwithstanding your on-air speculation about Partygate), but what do you make of the growing indications that Covid-19 has been an attack on the free world by the China Class (as opposed to just China), and that a coordinated response to a 'plandemic' has been used to advance global authoritarianism by a globalist ruling class aligned with Chinese-style (crony) capitalism, aided by similar-minded elected leaders in the (woke) West?
PS. The global role of media and social media in terms of narrative control seems undeniable, looking at events in Ottawa.

Dear Mark
Kudos for your explosive interviews about the sex trafficking business in Britain. At least the Queen has the courage to trounce one of her own, finding him unworthy and compromised. It does feel like the end of many things lately. What are your thoughts about last night's
ghastly, potentially world ending news about Iran, the Sunni world sponsor of terrorism, being set free by the US to become a nuclear power? How do you see that playing out?

Hi Mark,
I was interested in your interview on GB News with Robert Lacey during which he expressed a view that it was good for the monarchy that the hereditary principle has all but disappeared from places like the House of Lords. I found that to be a strange viewpoint as the Queen only occupies her position by virtue of inheritance, as well as being a Protestant, as per the 1701 Act of Settlement. If inheritance doesn't matter, and popularity is all that counts, then why not have an elective monarchy? Could be a good way to permanently get rid of Andrew and the Sussexes :)

Hi Mark
With Bill Gates meeting with UK government leaders, space X taking control of satellite launch rockets from the military, Amazon controlling 49% of the cloud, and Google leading in satellite constellation design, has a global ruling class already been created? Not only might the US be post constitutional as you have pointed out, but other world government structures could become increasingly irrelevant. What do you think?

Boris Johnson has reportedly compared himself to Othello being brought down by his Iago-like scheming aide, Dominic Cummings.
So, in your opinion, is Boris Johnson a heroic warrior, an ideal husband and a man of honour or just a 'babbling f***wit' under the thumb of his Mrs.?

Hey Mark and fellow Club members. What are your thoughts on the reporting of American officials openly being enriched by the Chinese government? There are so many ways to bribe an official if you have the money and connections. You set up a six figure job for a congressman's dunce of a kid, you donate to a foundation that employs the right people, you hire a former official as a consultant after they've delivered the votes for years. Peter Schweizer reported that Speaker John Boehner killed a bill that would have punished China for devaluing their currency and now he's working as a consultant for a firm that is a registered foreign agent for the Chinese government. Why would a former speaker of the house of representatives even need a job after retirement considering his pension. Our generals, fresh from losing every war we've been in since Operation Desert Storm, have plum gigs with defense contractors waiting for them when they retire. Can the United States self correct, or is the gift too deep to excise?

Hi Mark,
Some quick media questions, since you've been around media and news organizations for a long time. Regarding the latest out of CNN, I assume that the news business has always had plenty of sex scandals and influence peddling for as long as they've existed. It's human nature. But there seems to have been an increase over time of reporters being happy to just parrot nonsensical disinformation without batting an eye. I've heard it claimed that in the old days, although reporters had their biases, they also had a kind of blue collar work ethic when it came to finding things out and could detect BS when it wafted by. Are the modern crop of reporters too ideological or too stupid to spot obvious garbage information? Or should I embrace the power of "and"?
For a slightly related but off the wall question: did the late June Callwood really believe that she saw the Avro Arrow prototype RL-202 fly off from Malton just before the planes got chopped up on Black Friday?

Mark I know you will be shocked to learn that Joe Rogan has surrendered to the wokendumb mob with an apology begging for mercy. Of course he is now being subjected to a struggle session after which he will then still lose his career no matter how much pathetic groveling and pleading he does. When will people learn that you should NEVER apologize to the woke thugs under any circumstance? The reason people like Tucker or Rush were never canceled despite nonstop attempts to do so was that they never apologized.

Dear Mark,
Anyone who thinks going to war over Ukraine is a bad idea, must mean that you love Putin. Does that mean that Chairman Xi is Putin's poodle since he was seen at the Olympic games opening ceremony or does intersectional theory prevent us from pointing that out? How can a theory that is a bedrock of CRT that determines that the more successful your race or ethnic group is the more white you are, ignore the fact that China is at the top and continues to believe that they are a victim group? I'll end with the question if you think that in the end we will have a West and East Ukraine when all is said and done before the next election comes along? Your thoughts Mark.

If it's done by the legislature at least you don't have to put up with pseudo-legal reasoning.

Did you see Thandiwe Newton apologize for being a light-skinned black woman? Her mother is black and her father is white. She is married to a white man, and they have three children. If you have seen her tearful apology for taking roles that "should" have gone to women with a darker pigment, would you agree that Ms. Newton is suffering a type of Stockholm Syndrome? She seems brainwashed to me. It is sad to see a beautiful, talented woman feel guilty about her own immutable characteristics. Those who have campaigned incessantly and forced this horrible Critical Race Theory bull on society are the villains in this story. She should no more apologize for her skin tone than she should apologize for being beautiful, talented, otherwise seemingly happy, successful, having a seemingly happy upbringing and marriage, etc. Part of her appeal is her uniqueness, and now she has been convinced that it is detrimental. I feel sad for her, she is likely a kind and sympathetic person and she's been convinced that her mere existence is harming darker skinned black women so she apologized, and she will be ridiculed by both ends of the crackpot spectrum -- those who think she is ridiculous for being tenderhearted and apologizing, and those at the opposite end who think she is truly stealing something from darker-complected women.
