James Corbett is a Canadian anarcho-capitalist/anarcho-voluntarist (former) YouTuber, conspiracy theorist. He performs amateur analysis of politics conspiracy theories and purported propaganda in The Corbett Report, YouTube (formerly),[1] Global Research TV, RT news and other shows and websites such as the Boiling Frogs Post, NewsBud, 5G summit and other such occasional events, despite having no credentials in any of these fields, such as 9/11 and the JFK assassination being false flag attacks, government mind control, water fluoridation and chemtrails lowering IQ to make it harder to wake up sheeple, the “Clinton Body Count”, 5G sends toxic EMF, Bill Gates is a Nazi eugenicist, GMOs cause tumours, Climate change is a hoax, vaccines never worked and are also a hoax, moon landing is hoax,[2] eugenics is still alive, America is secretly a socialist country,[3] pizzagate is real,[4] Trump wants to establish a New World Order, among many, many others.

Anytime anything interesting happens anywhere on the planet, there's a very high chance James has found "proof" it is either a false flag operation by the New World Order or a "massive coverup operation" run by the New World Order to implement the New World Order and has already discussed about it on one of his episodes on YouTube or a podcast on his channel. No exceptions. You would think the New World Order would've eliminated this widely-known bearer of all their secrets, but no, for some reason they see fit to let him continue.

The Corbett Report[edit]

“” A refreshing detail about Corbett is that he is generally not merely JAQ-ing off but firmly asserting some wonderfully insane, totally reality-independent claims.
—Encyclopedia of American Loons[5]

Founded in 2007 by Canadian expatriate James Corbett, a former English teacher who was fired when it became clear he had mental illnesses. “The Corbett Report”, an “independent, listener-supported alternative news source” (podcasts, interviews with other cranks, articles, YouTube videos) “about current events and suppressed history from an independent perspective” (batshit lunacy Corbett has made up) which operates on the principles of "open source intelligence" (surfing the internet in the comfort of his home and sharing what he found on NaturalNews). Corbett sure doesn’t get his news from "Rothschild Reuters". Supported by subscriptions of his webshite, he discusses statism, 9-11 conspiracy theories, chemtrails, climate change denial[6] and anti-dogma conspiracies that mainstream media would never want you to know, as well as making claims about Obama's Trump's New World Order.[7] The most clickbait-y articles of his are, unfortunately, locked behind a paywall, which probably gets him away with brainwashing.[note 1]

In addition to the history of oil, power, and economics, alleged false flag events like the Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy theories,Wikipedia the 9/11 conspiracy theories, and Operation Gladio.Wikipedia Corbett claims to detail scandalous corruption, injustices, and expose conspiracies, psy-ops, black-ops, and the covert "deep-state secret", "ghost politics", globalist control, and domination agendas of the NWO advocating a "revolution of the mind" to counter-cultural brainwashing dogmas to ultimately foil all centralized governments' monopolistic use of violence, often by using unfunny mockery. Ultimately, however, all he achieves is talking to an echo chamber of other dangerous morons about the same nonsense. He is also a vigorous denier of climate change and doesn't like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)Wikipedia,[8] Agenda 21 or Bill Gates.[9]

In conclusion, he is your typical kook, his web design better than most conspiracy lunatics, his writing less so, although skillful in being impervious to the truth and presenting allegations based on weak reasoning that purposely avoids reflection and alternative explanations, avoiding anything that could damage and challenge the narrative he creates.

Views[edit]

Corbett is your usual conspiracy theorist spreading the classics in conspiratorial bullshit…

Bill Gates[edit]

See the main article on this topic: Bill Gates
Where do you even get such pictures of Bill Gates?

Corbett believes that Bill Gates is manipulating this COVID pandemic with lockdowns etc. so as to push untested vaccines for economic benefit, establish population control with microchip implants, and depopulation as he is an alleged eugenicist. The entire documentary is filled with poor analogies to Rockefeller conspiracy theories, comparing his actions to them. He implies that anyone who is working for a company or any foundation even remotely sponsored by Bill Gates cannot be trusted. That includes any medical professionals or other people who have studied their claims far more than Corbett.

Despite the numerous scientific studies conducted that conclude the virus is not human-made, the fact that many other fact checkers that are not sponsored by Bill Gates have debunked his claims, they are all wrong and somehow secretly paid by his foundation’s PR to engage in semantics in Corbett’s mind.

Miscellaneous[edit]

The documentary cherry picks certain viewpoints of Bill Gates that were supposedly before he started charitable work, including a lawsuit and footage of him getting hit with a pie on his face. Turns out, all of them happened after 1994, when Bill Gates formed the “William H Gates Foundation” when he donated some of his stock, which would be later converted to the “Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation”.

The ‘report’ goes on to say how he funds every news organisation in the world by linking to some of Bill Gates’ grants to non profit organisations such as Our World in DataWikipedia and NPRWikipedia, hence everything you know about him is wrong and the video you are seeing is right. But how a charitable grant given to a nonprofit helps Bill Gates literally control the entirety of the organisation is left unexplained.

After this, the viewer is forced to listen to the list of everything Bill Gates has done in the field of vaccines, but with ominous music in the background. And how Tedros is related to Gates, so you shouldn’t trust him either.

The report keeps cherry-picking everything that has gone wrong with vaccine trials that were in any way related to Bill Gates. Most repeated are:-

  • Gates’ funded PATH violated human rights while conducting trials (with very huge emphasis on “violation of human rights” — The actual violation in question is left unexplained. The violation of ethics was that the trial documents were filled “very carelessly” and mismatched guardian signatures. The justification was that the parents were “unreachable”. Furthermore, The ICMR, India’s highest medical research authority, reviewed and approved the protocol for this project, including its design and methodology. Bill Gates had nor has any control over PATH, and merely provided funding for it. The project was not directed by Bill Gates in any way. The report also left the actual successful trials of PATH in India which received.[10][11]
  • 490,000 people developed paralyses from Bill Gates’ oral polio vaccine — Bill Gates also had no role in organising or dictating how the trial should take place, he merely gave grants to GPEI organisations.
  • MenAfriVac lead to 40-500 children being paralysed.

‘Documentaries’[edit]

See the main article on this topic: Schlockumentary

Corbett's videos on Bill Gates are like a tangential thought process in narrative form, but each tangent is not a new fact to consider: The tangents are suggestions of explaining Gates' actions or words, tangents are on second-guessing motives, he reinforces those ideas with stories and opinions related to the gruesome topics of 'Bill's master plan'. He builds on the previous guessing by using crafty language to omit reflection, and incomplete unchallenged reasoning. The process results in painting those explanations into a smear with a huge question mark afterwards, as if he was just asking questions and not making allegations. There is no proof that Gates is planning a mass murder or genocide in line with an evil worldview, and no evidence he plans to microchip the public without consent and lord over them like they were slave. These ideas are implied by the detailed and captivating picture that Corbett paints.

GMOs[edit]

See the main article on this topic: GMO

Corbett believes GMOs cause tumours, do not feed millions of people, and that all studies not saying so are sponsored despite the plethora of independent scientific documentation. He also insists that there is no scientific consensus on the safety of GMO, and points out that many European nations have banned GMOs.

As usual, he is reckless in spreading misinformation about it by making claims such as…

GMOs do not increase crop yield[edit]

See the main article on this topic: Union of Concerned Scientists § Promotion of Agroecology

The report[12] cited a 2009 article from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCSUSA)[13] (who are, quite ironically, famous for debunking climate denialism[14] which Corbett has indulged in, hence the name).

It is worth noting that it is not rare for UCSUSA to publish unverified studies on GMOs, hence gaining criticism from many scientists such as Harvard microbiologist Kevin Bonham.[15] By applying Corbett's own methodology, the study is wrong because UCSUSA has invested a lot in organic farming and is paid by them.

The non-peer reviewed study was debunked by the Genetic Literacy Project (GLP),[16][17] which has been rated as a pro-science resource with high factual reporting by Media Bias/Fact Check. It is also worth noting that the GLP has been accused many times of accepting funding from corporations that are involved in the agriculture genetics business due to their acceptance of the consensus of science as it relates to GMOs. On the GLP website they offer a full disclosure of their funding disproving the fact that they receive funding from pro-GMO companies such as Monsanto.

The GLP claims that there are over 6000 studies that disprove this claim. A selection of them can be found on their article about it.[16]

2017 research led by Jayson Lusk, professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Oklahoma State University, suggests that the UCS analysis showing no difference in yields between GE and non-GE corn was wrong because it did not control for weather. “Once temperature and precipitation controls are added, GE adoption has significant effects on corn yields,” the study found.[18][19]

A completely independent study conducted in Italy published in the reputable and peer reviewed journal Nature disproves this claim.[20]

For even more refutations to this massively flawed study, see the main article on this topic: Union of Concerned Scientists § Promotion of Agroecology

It is impossible for independent studies on GMOs to take place without consent[edit]

See the main article on this topic: Genetically modified food § Lack of independent testing
See the more in depth article on this topic at Wikipedia: Genetically modified food controversies § Restrictive end-user agreements.Wikipedia

While the claim[12] has a little bit of truth in it, it is misleading.

Before 2009, some scientists really did have some trouble doing their work, due to patent restrictions. But the same scientists who protested the limitations now say the problem is largely fixed.[21]

A good portion of the research on GM foods is funded by the companies developing these products. But there’s also a lot of independent research, as well. For instance, the Genetic Engineering Risk Atlas (GENERA) has documented more than 2000 scientific studies looking into the safety of GM foods. Of those, independently funded studies make up about one-third of the list.[22]

Most companies freely allow research of their GMOs with no questions asked.

GMOs do not reduce chemical usage[edit]

See the more in depth articles on this topic at Wikipedia: Genetically modified food controversies § Secondary pestsWikipedia and Genetically modified food controversies § Resistant insect pestsWikipedia

The report[12] cited an article from Reuters[23](who have also, ironically, debunked many of Corbett’s Bill Gates claims).

Yes, there are problems like herbicide resistant "superweeds", but this is not a problem unique to GMOs — any strategy to stop pests, be they insects or weeds in agriculture, or infectious microbes in humans will lead to resistance. The mechanism is different but the end result is the same.

Critics of crop biotechnology often point to the growth of “superweeds” in corn and soybean fields over the past 20 years as illustrative of the ecological problems posed by crops genetically modified to be resistant to herbicides like glyphosate (trade name Roundup). But superweeds — so named because of their ability to withstand specific herbicides—predate the introduction of GMOs in the 1990s and glyphosate in the 1970s.

As weed scientist Andrew Kniss puts it:[24]

If GM crops have contributed significantly to the development of herbicide resistant weeds, we would expect the number of unique instances of these superweeds to increase following adoption of GM crops. … In the eleven-year period before GM crops were widely grown, approximately 13 new cases of herbicide resistance were documented annually. After GM crop adoption began in earnest, the number of new herbicide resistant weeds DECREASED to 11.4 cases per year.

Scientists say weeds will eventually develop resistance to any chemical, including those used by organic farmers, through repeated exposure. Glyphosate resistance has gotten so much attention in recent years largely because of the popularity of the herbicide, which has helped farmers realize substantial yield improvements and lowered farming costs. But there is a consensus among weed scientists that GMOs do not uniquely cause the development of hardier weeds; other non GMO crops have more serious weed problems; and various technologies and management strategies can adequately manage the challenge.[25]

GMOs cause tumours[edit]

See the main article on this topic: Seralini § "GMO causes cancer" study
See the more in depth article on this topic at Wikipedia: Séralini affair.Wikipedia

Corbett cites a now redacted study[26] that fed rats GMOs and they developed tumours.

For refutations to this massively flawed study, see the main article on this topic: Seralini#"GMO_causes_cancer"_study

There is no scientific consensus for the safety of GMOs![edit]

See the main article on this topic: Genetically modified food § Scientific consensus
See the more in depth article on this topic at Wikipedia: Genetically modified food controversies § Health.Wikipedia

One of the primary arguments of James Corbett is that there is no scientific consensus on the topic of GMOs, which is blatantly false.[27][28][29] Given below is an excerpt from a Wikipedia article that contains citations of the scientific consensus regarding GMOs.


New world order and deep state[edit]

“”The bitter truth is that in a surprising number of cases, NGOs are the Deep State’s Trojan Horses.
—James Corbett justifies his stance on GMO, vaccines, climate change etc. by labelling all charitable work certain organisations have done which are against him as covert deep state agents and government shills.

He believes that Trump wants to establish some New World Order, and he is one of the many leaders in history since World War I who is trying to establish it. He has devoted an entire series of shows named #FLNOW (Film, Literature and New World Order) how nearly every movie in existence is specially designed to spread propaganda and misinformation brainwashing the masses. From the films Contagion,[50] to the Rambo trilogy,[51] to Daredevil from Netflix,[52] to even poetry and stories from writers such as F. R. Scott, Charles Dickens, the Catcher in the Rye and even more. Basically, don’t believe or don’t be inspired by any form of media imaginable or you will become a sheep in the NWO, unless Corbett talks about it of course, like the books on NWO he told you to read.[53]

He is even writing an entire book on the NWO, Reportage: Essays on the New World Order.[54]

Now, from a conventional, historiographical point of view, the term ‘New World Order’ tends to be seen as just... not a World Government or anything like that. So my question is: How do you understand the term ‘New World Order’, in the way that you use it in your book, Reportage: Essays on the New World Order.? How do you mean it as you use it there?

JaC: My forthcoming book, I should stress to the audience. You have broadly outlined the two main definitions for this term. I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive; that we have to pick one... so I think it’s just part of that same old idea that has gripped would-be rulers of all sorts.

Fact-checking sites[edit]

This section requires more sources.

They use ‘psychological techniques’ like semantics to brainwash sheeple and just because the foundation gave a grant to a fact-checking website sometime 4 to 5 years ago means that all the fact checking websites currently in existence are sponsored by Bill Gates and hence totally wrong (unless they haven’t debunked one of Corbett’s outlandish claims of course).

Even though there are many fact-checking organisations that have not been funded by Gates' foundation, that doesn’t stop Corbett from openly ranting about anything that has tried to debunk one of his claims, and spreading more moronic bullshit in the process.

It is notable that he doesn’t actually debunk any of the fact checkers, just poorly performed circumstantial ad hominems.

9/11[edit]

See the main articles on this topic: 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden

One of the first conspiracy theories on his independent ‘news’ site was 9/11. He believes that its investigation was intentionally stopped for economic gain. Did you know that the shooting of Osama bin Laden was a hoax?[55] According to Corbett, there is a consensus that bin Laden died years ago. He was not involved in 9/11 either, and the US government is in an intimate conspiracy with the bin Laden family (Obama himself ensured that many of the bin Laden family members were transported safely out of the US after 9/11 where they had been in various shady meetings with American government figures).

While the 9/11 rhetoric is often presented by James Corbett, it is noteworthy to detail how he accomplishes this. His work relies on purposefully omiting other sides of an argument. Meaning that one would be unable to gain new knowledge to win an argument against another even after watching any of his documentaries in its entirety.

It must have been impossible for the hijackers to hit the 9/11 targets![edit]

This was briefly debunked by Mike West and TLO of Metabunk.org[56] using simulation software and elementary physics by a man completely inexperienced in flying aircraft. The major flaws in his theory are:[57]

  • The pilots (Hanjour, Pentagon) had significant training and a commercial jet pilot's license.[58]
  • The targets were all wide, and wider than even the runway. KPHX's three runways are all 150' wide, and the towers were over 200' wide each, the Pentagon larger still.
  • The targets were obviously stationary. In the various naval ship/air battles in WWII, and a moving target (even at 30 kt) is quite hard to hit, even when it's a carrier.
  • They had no airborne or ground flak defense to avoid. This cuts even a poor pilot a lot of slack in acquiring and hitting a target, especially when it's with the plane you're flying.
  • The biggest challenge likely would have been any crosswinds to compensate for.
  • Once the plane is in the air, and in stable flight, and you're not trying any radical maneuver, not worried about air traffic control, and your target is as big as each was, it's not so difficult.

9/11 Commission member said Commission was setup to fail[edit]

Another quote-mining technique used by Corbett, taking an expert out of context. This was debunked at the Skeptic Project.[59]

Climate Change[edit]

See the main article on this topic: Climate change

Corbett believes the idea that the UN is intentionally deceiving, as it is funded by corrupt scientists with limited resources, that the UN wants to cause disorder in society by the creating the myth of climate change which has now been solidified by numerous studies, and that all of the studies are false and paid by the UN. Corbett fails to realise that the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming was discovered long before oil industries and the supposedly corrupt governments of the modern world. Corbett also asserts that the UN is literally pumping hot air to create the illusion of climate change.[60] Given how much effort is needed to create this much deception to the point where the entirety of the world have a noticeable average temperature increase, it's probably easier to just pin the blame on human civilisation, but that wouldn’t make him money from the conspiracy junkies who follow him. Many of Corbett’s own subscribers comment in his articles about the sheer illiteracy of such conclusions drawn from nothing.[note 2][61][62]

“Debunking” Climate “Myths”[edit]

On December 2013, Corbett decided to “challenge” himself by debunking climate realist arguments in 60 seconds. Below is given RationalWiki’s comment on these statements.

James Corbett RationalWiki comment
Myth #1. The earth is warming! On what time scale? 16 years? 2000 years? 10000 years? 420000 years? 65 million years? The Earth is warming on the time scale that is most relevant to modern civilization.
Myth #2. This year was the hottest year ever! Was that before or after NASA and the NOAA altered the temperature record to make recent years warmer? The sentence links to this blog post. This has already been thoroughly debunked, by Climate Feedback[63] and Snopes.[64]

It should be no shock that the data shifted following 1999, as illustrated graphically in the above diagram, because NASA published multiple papers in 1999 and 2001 about these changes and why they were made. Links to these papers can be found on the NASA website, which also publicly summarizes the changes in several other places.

Sea level data, ice extent data, ice volume data, glacier data, sea surface temperature, tree lines moving to higher altitudes, etc, would also have to be faked by the government and NASA to fake this, which forms the basis of many technologies we use today. Furthermore, the US government and NASA would have to somehow also control the census data collected in other countries.

5G[edit]

See the main article on this topic: 5G
“” The truth is that the development of 5G networks and the various networked products that they will give rise to in the global smart city infrastructure, represent the greatest threat to freedom in the history of humanity!
—James Corbett on how 5G will enable the New World Order, and quite possibly enable mind control

Corbett also believes that the EMF radiation from 5G is harming our bodies, and is some sort of “weapon” to implement the New World Order. Even some of his own subscribers comment how stupid this is.[note 2][65]

James Corbett is also an “expert” on 5G at the 5G Summit,[66][67] which offers “Adavnced Training Material” (in all caps, written in lowercase for legibility) on how 5G causes “weakened immunity, cancer, sterility, DNA damage and other harm… especially to our children”! The summit has other experts cranks such as anti-vaxxer Robert Kennedy, Jr.; alternative medicine promoter anti-vaxxer and anti-GMO Sayer Ji, and many more.

Vaccines[edit]

Apparently, James believes that “Dr. confesses Cancer & other Viruses is found in Vaccines”,[68][69] which is false for obvious reasons, but nonetheless was debunked by Snopes.[70]

He also cites NaturalNews[68] to “expose” the Gardasil vaccine “hoax”,[71] and “the flu shot virus SCAM”[72] which is enough to bring his credibility down to zero. The video itself implies that everyone since Pasteur has been wrong about vaccines and the entire scientific community never realized this, or did and kept silent in a 130-year-long conspiracy.

Anthrax attacks[edit]

According to James Corbett, the 2001 anthrax was caused by an accidentally released Bioweapon that was being manufactured by the US government.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that most of the studies demonstrating that GM foods are as nutritional and safe as those obtained by conventional breeding, have been performed by biotechnology companies or associates, which are also responsible of commercializing these GM plants. Anyhow, this represents a notable advance in comparison with the lack of studies published in recent years in scientific journals by those companies."

We emphasize that with over 1783 published articles on GMOs over the last 10 years it is expected that some of them should have reported undesired differences between GMOs and conventional crops even if no such differences exist in reality."

PMID 26536836. "It is therefore not surprising that efforts to require labeling and to ban GMOs have been a growing political issue in the USA (citing Domingo and Bordonaba, 2011). Overall, a broad scientific consensus holds that currently marketed GM food poses no greater risk than conventional food... Major national and international science and medical associations have stated that no adverse human health effects related to GMO food have been reported or substantiated in peer-reviewed literature to date.

    Despite various concerns, today, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the World Health Organization, and many independent international science organizations agree that GMOs are just as safe as other foods. Compared with conventional breeding techniques, genetic engineering is far more precise and, in most cases, less likely to create an unexpected outcome."

Its recent report states: "The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research and involving more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than e.g. conventional plant breeding technologies." The World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal Society, and every other respected organization that has examined the evidence has come to the same conclusion: consuming foods containing ingredients derived from GM crops is no riskier than consuming the same foods containing ingredients from crop plants modified by conventional plant improvement techniques.""

This means that individual GM foods and their safety should be assessed on a case-by-case basis and that it is not possible to make general statements on the safety of all GM foods.

    GM foods currently available on the international market have passed safety assessments and are not likely to present risks for human health. In addition, no effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved. Continuous application of safety assessments based on the Codex Alimentarius principles and, where appropriate, adequate post market monitoring, should form the basis for ensuring the safety of GM foods."

    "Genetically modified foods and health: a second interim statement". British Medical Association. March 2004. Retrieved August 30, 2019. "In our view, the potential for GM foods to cause harmful health effects is very small and many of the concerns expressed apply with equal vigour to conventionally derived foods. However, safety concerns cannot, as yet, be dismissed completely on the basis of information currently available.

    When seeking to optimise the balance between benefits and risks, it is prudent to err on the side of caution and, above all, learn from accumulating knowledge and experience. Any new technology such as genetic modification must be examined for possible benefits and risks to human health and the environment. As with all novel foods, safety assessments in relation to GM foods must be made on a case-by-case basis.

    Members of the GM jury project were briefed on various aspects of genetic modification by a diverse group of acknowledged experts in the relevant subjects. The GM jury reached the conclusion that the sale of GM foods currently available should be halted and the moratorium on commercial growth of GM crops should be continued. These conclusions were based on the precautionary principle and lack of evidence of any benefit. The Jury expressed concern over the impact of GM crops on farming, the environment, food safety and other potential health effects.

    The Royal Society review (2002) concluded that the risks to human health associated with the use of specific viral DNA sequences in GM plants are negligible, and while calling for caution in the introduction of potential allergens into food crops, stressed the absence of evidence that commercially available GM foods cause clinical allergic manifestations. The BMA shares the view that there is no robust evidence to prove that GM foods are unsafe but we endorse the call for further research and surveillance to provide convincing evidence of safety and benefit."
