Update from the Living Folk Hero, and Whistle Blower, Barry Young

Courage is a choice. One Barry Young faced as he collated the data on the vaccine roll out and the deaths of New Zealanders.Barry YoungIf he’d just stayed silent, we would never have heard of this data analyst, but instead he initially tried to warn the politicians , and when they didn’t know he approached Liz Gunn.Liz could see immediately that Barry’s data was powerful enough to destroy the MRNA ‘safe and effective’ narrative.This was when Dr Paul Oosterhuis became involved and then others.And then the following night, this happened live on air. . . Waiting for ReinerWhile waiting for Reiner Fullmich to call us from his jail cell, live on air I jokingly told Troy Anthony that he should write a song call ‘Waiting for Reiner’. . .minutes before the end of the show, Troy sent me this.Troy’s Poetry, Music Suno.Ai is a powerful weapon for us too.The Prison screwed up the call. Reiner had to postpone.MBut despite the bombshell the narrative continued and now we are about to vaccinate penguins. Currently Barry, after 1000 days, is still awaiting his moment in court and this is what we are going to hear about tonight. How is he feeling? What are the courts doing? But the real reason to watch is that true heroes are rare, and that is what Barry Young is.Dear Subscribers (both paid and free),Cafe Locked Out started life as Cafe Locked Down in Melbourne, right in the middle of the Covid years.Six years on, we’re still here — and we’re now reaching between five and six million people a month. That number isn’t just interviews. It includes the rants, the posts, the conversations, and everything else that happens in this space.In a purely commercial sense, the smart move would be to lock everything behind a paywall. Why do all this work and give it away for free?But we’re not a normal podcast. We’re closer to an online community — and a lot of people in this community are doing it really hard. Some of us are living in tents.We simply can’t, in good conscience, cut those people off because they can’t afford a subscription.So instead of going fully paid, we want to say this:To everyone who already supports the work — thank you. You are the only reason we’re still able to keep going.And if you regularly take something from what we put out, and you can comfortably afford to chip in, we’d be genuinely grateful if you did.Your support doesn’t just keep the lights on. It keeps this space open for the people who need it most.Thank you for being here.Kelli and MichaelCafe Locked Out This is a public episode.
