The Awakening World Truth Summit – Second Coming; Telling the Truth had become a Revolutionary Act

“Unless the truth is a conspiracy, I don’t consider myself a conspiracy theorist.” Kerry Lee Crawford

“What’s wrong Grant?”

 I had just walked through the office door at Carib101 Media Group, and the owner Grant Browning had a disturbed look on his face.

“Right at 11:00 am the attacks started again,” he replied.

“Are you really surprised,” I questioned? “We expected this.”

We were off to a rough start again. The Carib101 Media Group was tackling the task of producing The Awakening World Truth Summit – The Second Coming, and with organizing this had come some challenges.

This was the successful second attempt at producing a summit for the global population to shed light on what has occurred during this pandemic. The mission and vision of the Awakening is to provide the global community with another side of this story, the side where fear mongering is not the go to factor. Where the health of the listeners is paramount. Where the mental stability of the viewers is taken into consideration. These are all elements that have been missing from many of the mainstream media outlets.

For the team at Carib101 Media Group, the desire that information be truthful is elemental. The team knows that news is the material that people use to make important decisions in their lives: what to wear outside, what to buy, products to stay away from, what restaurants to eat at, and how to protect themselves. It is why the most important quality of news is that it is useful and reliable.

In this day and age, telling the truth has become a revolutionary act. We have received phone calls and emails condemning us for even hosting a show like this. We had one caller who told us that the Awakening was ridiculous and that it should be called “Comatose.” I have to admit; I actually found that thought pretty clever.

It seems almost too complicated for many of us to pursue the truth, and maybe to some of us it doesn’t exist. The Awakening World Truth Summit was a gathering of controversial, educated, and outspoken individuals who have found that telling the truth has not made them popular, but they refuse to back down regardless of threats, loss of credibility, or ridicule.

On Saturday March 6th, 2021, Kerry Lee Crawford and myself bravely took on the task of hosting a panel of speakers who have been censored, ostracized, and labelled as right-wing conspiracy theorists. The first Awakening World Truth Summit had 1.1 million visits to the page. The summit was cyber-attacked on such an unimaginable level, that when Grant announced it that morning, I was not surprised. We are in a time of censorship that has not been seen at this level in many years.

You may not realize it, but media censorship happens to your news on a regular basis. As humans, it is natural to make subjective choices as to what is important to put in a story, and what not to put in a story. What has made it seemingly worse is that during this pandemic, journalists are experiencing pressure from outside forces to suppress information, and only share what is desirable by those making these decisions. As a media outlet, we thought it was important for the public to be informed about the choices those who deliver the news face, and why they might decide to keep certain information private.

Naturally there are some questions that come to mind like who are these outside forces, and why would they want to censor a small, but growing media company in Toronto, Ontario, Canada?

Could it be that we had assembled a group of authority figures that have refused to lie down and continue to spread the truth about what is really going on during this pandemic. It is understandable when you take a look at the roster of speakers that we presented that day.

David Icke
He is a writer, public speaker, and media personality best known for his views on “The New World Order,” and the small group of individuals who are currently controlling our world. He is one of the most controversial speakers, and authors in the world, and he has attracted a large following worldwide.

He started off his career as a well-known BBC television sports presenter, but during our interview, I questioned him as to why he chose the path he did, or how this path was chosen for him. The highlight of my interview with David was learning his personal journey from being a professional footballer, to being criticized for being a conspiracy theorist.

His story was moving, and very spiritual. It definitely brought some perspective. This interview was different from the ones that he usually is a part of because the audience had a chance to learn why he has decided to stay on this path.

Alex Jones
Alexander Emric (or Emerick) Jones, better known as Alex Jones, is a popular radio host and is known for hosting ‘The Alex Jones Show.’

Jones has millions of followers that either love him or hate him. One thing that cannot be denied is that he speaks his mind.

He is a writer and a documentary filmmaker, as well as the brains behind the network “InfoWars,” which attracts millions of visitors every month. Like Icke, Jones asserts that several governments and business houses have conspired to create a ‘New World Order,’ and they have achieved this by “manufactured economic crises, sophisticated surveillance tech and—above all—inside-job terror attacks that fuel exploitable hysteria.

The moment that it was announced that he was going to be part of the summit, we began receiving emails from reporters asking us if we were aware that he was racist, abusive, and a bigot. We had guests who were supposed to be part of the summit who declined to appear not too long after we announced his appearance. He has been censored and de-platformed, and it was why it was perfect that he was part of the summit.

Del Bigtree
Del Bigtree is one of the renowned voices of the Vaccine Risk Awareness Movement. Even though he had a career as an Emmy winning producer of the CBS talk show The Doctors, this changed abruptly when he produced the documentary VAXXED, which is credited with igniting a revolution against pharmaceutical companies, all to protect the rights of people.

He moved on from mainstream television and started his Internet talk show, The HighWire. It is now the fastest growing program in the Natural Health arena with over 40 million views. His non-profit, ICANdecide.org, is leading worldwide investigations into drug and vaccine fraud that have already resulted in two winning lawsuits against US Government agencies Health and Human Services and National Institute of Health.

I want to note that these were our three headliners, and during the time that they were speaking, the attacks on the website were fierce. There have been doubters of the attacks that the summit was getting, so this time Grant filmed it and put it on Facebook. As soon as the interview was completed with Del, the stream evened out. Hmmm! How coincidental.

The next speaker we had was the outspoken hip-hop artist Black Pegasus.

Black Pegasus
Roberto Houston II was born on March 24th, 1980 in Germany where his father was stationed with the US Air Force. He lived in Arizona, Florida, and New Mexico before his family settled on the Southeast side of Colorado Springs when he was age ten. He began rapping when he was sixteen years old, and during the pandemic, he decided to use his talents to speak the truth about his experiences with vaccines.

Although he was not a headliner, I found his story to be very compelling. It was shocking to hear what he had experienced, and why he felt the need to speak out against what was occurring during the pandemic. He openly shared his emotions and talked in detail about what had happened to his baby girl. It was painful to hear about his experience, and it made me think, what if something like this happened to my family?

Pastor Henry Hilderbrandt
No stranger to controversy, the small-town South-western Ontario pastor Henry Hildebrandt has long been a firebrand, and soldier for his flock. He had also appeared on the first Awakening, and we had to have him back for the Second Coming, but this time he was in the studio live, and this was very powerful.

The Aylmer religious leader has become a provocative face of the COVID-19 restrictions movement and continues to fight against the worldwide effort to destroy humanity’s freedoms. Seeing him on the screen is one thing, but I actually had a chance to sit down in front of this man. His energy radiated through the room, and for 30 – 40 minutes, viewers had a chance to hear a message straight from God.

I even had a chance to sit down with the popular, and loved Kerry Lee Crawford, who was my co-host for the Awakening. He has also been faced with ridicule for becoming part of this movement, so I questioned him as to why he chooses to do this.

“It is for the pursuit of truth and understanding, “ Kerry began. “I have been following stories like this for fifteen years, so when the pandemic happened, I already had questions. To have access to this information from the foremost leaders in their field; it was a no brainer. Even though my community may not understand it, I do it for them, and I do this for my family.”

“When the pandemic started what was your reaction?”

“I played a lot of basketball,“ he said chuckling. “I was renovating the house, doing a lot of housework, I didn’t do a whole lot. I was waiting to see what was going to go down and what was going to happen next.

I had theories, which brought on trolls. I have been trolled for quite some time. It brought me back to my CBC days. It was interesting to watch these things come to fruition, and to be honest, it was a little unnerving. I had watched it, been told that there was more than what was being reported. I read George Orwell’s 1984. It has been a long time coming.

We need to do more of these. There needs to be more dialogue. Too many people are trying to impose their thoughts upon us.”

 Well, you have not heard the last from the Carib101 Media Group team. They are already planning for the Awakening World Truth Summit Part III – Third Times a Charm, but for now, don’t miss the replays.

I was sitting at my desk, with a look of pure excitement on my face. I looked at the email on the screen and read it aloud. “Jamaica, here we come! Again!” I let out a hearty laugh. I still can’t believe it. Another trip to Jamaica, the land of sun, sea, and endless joy. But this time, it’s different. This time, I’m not just a tourist. I’m representing the Toronto Caribbean Newspaper, and we had been invited to experience something truly extraordinary.

Imagine this: one of the most beautiful places on earth, and one of the most luxurious hotel chains in the world. It was like a dream come true. At that point, I leaned back in my chair, a wide grin spread across your face.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing firsthand experiences of RIU’s impactful work in Jamaica. You’ll get a glimpse into the remarkable offerings of RIU Aquarelle, from its luxurious accommodations to its vibrant entertainment. Together, we’ll embark on a journey to the Orthopaedic Clinic in Negril, unwind at the Ritz Cafe, savour a delectable lunch at RIU Palace Tropical Bay, explore the wonders of the Montego Bay Marine Park, connect with the passionate team at the Jamaica Tourist Board, and dance the night away at an exhilarating White Party.

Before we dive into these exciting adventures, I’d like to introduce you to the incredible travel team who will be accompanying me on this unforgettable trip: Ian Stalker, Karen Dahdah, Michael Schoenberger, Michelle Richmond, Peta-Gai Innerarity, Ronald Fanfair, Jorge Satorre (RIU Communication Team), Albert Puig (RIU Communication Director), and Janet Silvera (Jamaica PR Consultant).

What truly elevates a trip is the company you keep. I’m fortunate to say that this press trip was made exceptional by the incredible group I had the pleasure of working with. Whether we were playfully teasing each other, engaging in friendly banter, or orchestrating lighthearted pranks, the camaraderie and shared laughter were the heart of this adventure. It was the people who made this trip truly unforgettable.

Now, let’s introduce the organization that brought this incredible group together. RIU Hotels & Resorts (which has almost 100 hotels in 21 countries) is a hotel chain that was born in 1953 with a small hotel in Playa de Palma, Spain. Their more than 60 years of experience pampering their customers in the world’s best destinations attest to the mission of the company: the well-being of their guests.

RIU Hotels & Resorts is known for many things, including: its commitment to quality, its outstanding facilities in the best beach and city destinations and its wide variety of carefully prepared dining options, but above all, it is known for providing a personalized service from the heart. Their carefully designed facilities ensure that you have everything you need, and we have created a range of services to complement your stay with great food, fun and relaxation.

The company works day in and day out to continue offering the best facilities and exclusive services. All of them offer guaranteed quality and a standard of service that will make your holiday a one-of-a-kind experience. They are designed to give you the freedom to do, eat or drink whatever you want, whenever you want. Simply put, exactly how you like it.

The service at the RIU hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and efficient check-in. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our stay was unforgettable. The housekeeping was impeccable, the dining options were diverse and delicious, and the poolside service was prompt and courteous. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making our vacation truly memorable.

I can’t wait to soak up the sun, feel the sand between my toes, and dive into the crystal-clear waters, but most importantly, I can’t wait to share this incredible experience with all of you. Stay tuned, folks. This is going to be one hell of a ride!

“We need more Funding!” Toronto Caribbean Festival request $2 Million dollars from the Government of Canada

Published

BY PAUL JUNOR

The announcement that the Toronto Caribbean Festival will need more funding did not come as a surprise. CEO Mischka Crichton of the Festival Management Committee has reported that the festival may be cancelled next year if it does not receive two million in emergency funding to cover costs. In an email, she states, “Securing funding now is essential as we begin preparations for next year’s festival, including marketing, vendor and artist agreements, and material sourcing for bands and customs.”

“Budget allocations must be established well in advance to ensure that we can deliver the high-quality experience visitors expect. With inflation and production costs continuing to rise, timely financial support is crucial for sustaining the Carnival’s legacy and impact.”

In order to provide clarification about the funding, a petition was started at the website: www.torontocarnival.ca/petition. There is a pressing need of two million to cover expenses from the 2024 Carnival and $1.5 million from the federal and provincial governments to sustain it. Crichton raised the possibility that the festival may be cancelled entirely, or a few events if extra funding is not obtained. Crichton reinforced that it is important that the Toronto Caribbean Carnival is maintained as a non-profit organization. She notes, “The Carnival is a community-driven festival offering mostly free events that prioritize making sure our community can afford to attend the events we do charge for, as well as cultural enrichment.”

Dr. Jill Andrew, MPP of Toronto-St. Paul raised the issue of underfunding in the Ontario Legislature on October 28th, 2024, and asked Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario to step up and fulfill his promise to increase funding to the festival. There is still no firm commitment.

The petition states, “We, the undersigned, call upon the City of Toronto, the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada to provide the Toronto Caribbean Carnival with the financial support it deserves, in recognition of its cultural, economic and social impact.”  The petition outlines the significance of this festival to Canada. It notes, “For over 50 years (since 1967, the Toronto Caribbean Carnival has been a key cultural event in the city and country, attracting millions of visitors and contributing significantly to the Canadian economy. This festival not only celebrates the heritage and creativity of Caribbean people, it also celebrates what is uniquely Canadian by fostering inclusivity, cultural diversity, and economic opportunities for: small businesses, entrepreneurs, and families.”

The petition requests three things:

  • Immediate Emergency Funding of two million to cover the operational costs from the 2024 Carnival. Despite the incredible efforts of the executive team to reduce costs by 10% in both 2023 and 2024, the carnival still faces a financial shortfall. The Carnival costs over three million to produce annually yet receives less than one million from the three levels of government.
  • Annual Funding of $1.5 million from the Government of Ontario and the Government of Canada to support the core operations of the Toronto Caribbean Carnival, ensuring its sustainability and continued growth as a National Cultural Institution.
  • Funding for a Cultural Centre dedicated to preserving and promoting the Caribbean heritage in Toronto. This center would serve as a hub for education, cultural programming, and community events year-round, benefiting both the diaspora and the wider Canadian community.

The petition lists five reasons why it is important to sign the petition:

Economic Impact:

The Toronto Caribbean Carnival generates over $400 million annually for the Ontario economy, supporting thousands of jobs and hundreds of small businesses. The majority of these businesses are: Black, Brown, or Caribbean owned, making this event vital to the economic well-being of racialized communities.

Tourism and Visibility:

The Carnival brings in over two million visitors each year, making it the largest cultural event in Canada. With government support, we can elevate the Carnival’s international standing and attract even more visitors.

Representation and Inclusion:

Carnival is more than just a celebration. It stems from our emancipation and freedom from slavery and indentureship. It’s a powerful symbol of what our community can achieve. The event offers a platform to showcase Caribbean culture, while also standing as a beacon of inclusion, diversity, and respect. Government funding is not just financial support – it’s an acknowledgement of the value and contribution of Caribbean culture in Canada.

Financial Prudence:

Over the past two years, the executive team has demonstrated extraordinary financial responsibility, reducing the festival’s costs by 10% in both 2023 and 2024. This frugality highlights the sacrifices made by the team and community, showcasing that the Carnival has done something extraordinary with the limited resources it receives.

Cultural Legacy:

We are asking for support not just for an event, but for an ecosystem of creativity, entrepreneurship, and cultural preservation. The Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a lifeline for many who depend on its success.

The petition concludes by noting why it is important that it be signed. “You are helping ensure that the Toronto Caribbean Carnival continues to thrive, benefiting not only the local community, but all of Canada. Let’s make sure that future generations continue to experience the: magic, culture, and impact of the Toronto Caribbean Carnival.”

Children are not Democrats, or Republicans; they are kids, and their well-being must be our focus

Published

In a world where trust in governance is waning, it’s refreshing to see individuals who genuinely care about the well-being of their communities. While many politicians make empty promises and cater to the elite, there are those who are committed to making a real difference in people’s lives. Today, we’ll delve into the story of a man who is determined to improve the health of his nation, even as a new administration takes the reins.

On April 19th, 2023, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took leave from Children’s Health Defense (CHD) to run for president as a Democrat. About six months later, he switched gears to run as an independent. Then, on August 23rd, 2024 of this year, Kennedy, the longtime Democrat, suspended his campaign — and in a move that perhaps even he didn’t see coming — he endorsed former President Donald Trump.

Through it all, Kennedy remained true to his commitment: to end the chronic disease epidemic. He never wavered. For perhaps the first time in history, Kennedy gave children a voice in a national election. He reminded everyone that children are not Democrats, or Republicans. They’re kids. They’re “Swimming around in a toxic soup, and they need our help.”

RFK’s family have been harshly critical of him and view his switch over to the Republicans as a betrayal, including when he shared the unfounded claim that COVID-19 was “Ethnically targeted.” “Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment,” shared Rory Kennedy (the youngest of RFK Sr. and Ethel Kennedy’s 11 children) in a statement when RFK Jr. announced his intention to run as an independent presidential candidate.

Despite familial differences of opinion, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s resolute dedication to public health remains steadfast. His tireless efforts are centered on safeguarding the health of our nation’s most vulnerable citizens: our children.

With Trump’s support, Kennedy and his team launched the Make America Healthy Again campaign, where he vowed to do whatever it takes to get toxic chemicals out of our: food, our soil, our water and our air. He has also promised to take on the: FDA, CDC, HHS, NIH, NIAID, USDA, EPA, FCC — and any other federal agency that puts corporate profits ahead of public health.

Perhaps most importantly, Kennedy promised to get to the bottom of why 1 in 33 children in this country has autism. During the election, a member of Trump’s transition team — said that one of his first jobs, if Trump were elected, would be to gain access to the CDC’s vaccine safety data so his team can analyze it to determine if vaccines are as safe as the FDA and CDC say they are.

As we witness his efforts unfold, we can only hope that his actions will align with his words.
