John Waters - The Abolition of Reality: A First Draft of the End of History

John Waters discusses his book "The Abolition of Reality: A First Draft of the End of History," exploring the cultural and societal upheavals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. He critiques the roles of media, economics, and authority in fostering a climate of fear and control, linking contemporary economic practices to the abolition of the gold standard in 1971. Waters argues that the pandemic served as an orchestrated project undermining human rights, facilitated by a compliant media that prioritized sensationalism over truth. He highlights groupthink's impact on societal panic and the expansion of state control, likening the political response to a predatory instinct to seize power. Waters warns against the normalization of extreme measures and advocates for future awareness and resistance to overreach, emphasizing the importance of documenting these events to prevent history from repeating itself.

PROTOCOL 7 - An Andy Wakefield Film  WEBSITE          protocol7.movie X/TWITTER      x.com/P7MovieINSTAGRAM     instagram.com/protocol7movie
Andy Wakefield has been likened to the Dreyfus of his generation -- a doctor falsely accused of scientific and medical misconduct, whose discoveries opened up entirely new perceptions of childhood autism, the gut-brain link, and vaccine safety. As an ‘insider,' the price for his discoveries and his refusal to walk away from the issues they raised, was swift and brutal, with loss of job, career, reputation, honours, colleagues, and country. And yet he enjoys a huge and growing support from around the world.Wakefield’s stance made him a trusted place for whistle-blowers -- from government and industry to confess and ‘download.' He has extraordinary stories to share. Wakefield is now an award-winning filmmaker. Despite elaborate attempts at censorship, his documentary VAXXED: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe – the revelations of a vaccine scientist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention- changed the public mindset on the truth about vaccine safety. Wakefield’s is a story that starts with professional trust in the instincts of mothers, choice and consequences, a quest for truth, and perseverance against overwhelming odds.Andy has long pursued the scientific link between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, & neurological injury in children.  Dr. Wakefield is the co-founder of the Autism Media Channel & the founder of 7th Chakra Films.  
He is the director of his first major narrative feature, the recently released #Protocol7, co-written with Terry Rossio (Aladdin, Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean, Fast and Furious, Godzilla vs. King Kong).
