Geopolitics and Empire is joined by Pastor Artur Paulowski from Calgary of Streetchurch.C.A.

He recently went viral on social media for kicking Canadian authorities out of his church.

They were attempting to shut him down illegally and unconstitutionally.

We'll be discussing Canada's turn toward tyranny.

How are you doing, Pastor Paulowski?

I'm doing fine. Thank you.

That's good to hear. Now, people can click on the links in the description to see the full footage of what happened. And I've compiled some of your recent interviews as well. People can check

them out in the description. I think I was one of the first to tweet out that footage, which received

astonishingly 2 million views on Twitter alone. Authorities were attempting to shut down your church,

and you essentially through seemingly sheer willpower told them to get out. It was not the

shot heard around the world, but what I'll call the shout heard around the world. You called them Nazis,

Gestapo, communists, and I personally think your descriptions were precise. In fact, I couldn't

believe what I was seeing when I first saw the video. I had to rewatch it and rewatch it,

and I became emotional and almost physically shaking because I too have this strong response

such as you when the COVID

police attempt to, you know, impose tyranny upon us when we're out and about. But before we get

to your explanation of what happened in your church and what is going on now, I thought it would

be important to learn about your roots and where you came from because historically your people

have an intimate experience

with totalitarianism, whether in the forms of Nazi fascism or Soviet communism.

So could you give us kind of a brief understanding of your and your family's past experiences

and understanding of totalitarianism in Europe?
