When my buddy Utah Phillips recorded my song, ‘It's Only A Wee-Wee, So What's The Big Deal?', he introduced it by saying,“Now here's my idea of a kids' song folks! Full bore, overhead cam, spoke wire-wheels, no holds barred damn kids' song! None of that ‘knicky-knacky-nu' stuff we were stuck with when we were kids. When's the last time you actually said ‘wee-wee' in public? ‘It's only a wee-wee, so what's the big deal? It's only a wee-wee so what's all the fuss? It's only a wee-wee and everyone's got one, there's better things to discuss!”It's a fun song I wrote in 1981 designed to open up safe discussions about how our binary gender-roles assign many attributes to boys and men that also described girls and women, … and visa-versa. Females can be strong and heroic. Males can be gentle and caring. Let's just act like ourselves!Illustration by Terri AsherThat was almost 50 years ago! Nowadays we're aware of a slew of other factors we need to consider as we discover ‘who' we are with regard to our sexual identity, orientation, biological, physical, emotional, hormonal, and genetic make-up! There are so many different factors now in the wide spectrum of information we have to consider, that it's no longer possible to make a simple binary choice of a label that fits us correctly.Our gender identities have been limited to being either male or female for thousands of years, and we carry those gender labels with us, throughout our lives, that were assigned to us solely on the physical appearance of our genitals at birth.Our predominant culture demands that we accept our gender assignment, and when it does not fit with our own experience of ourselves, it takes great courage to push back against the pressure to conform. Some of us have been lucky enough to have family, friends, and other allies who support us in our exploration of this part of our human journey as we grow up, but many have not had that support.If we do speak up, it's often alone, and we are attacked, abused, and discounted for simply not fitting into one of the two choices we're given. So here we are singing ‘It's Only A Wee-Wee' at a ‘Healing Power of Laughter And Play Conference' with 1400 hundred human service professionals!I hereby officially reframe my chorus to this song by saying:“Having discussions with other safe, caring people as we grow and explore and discover who we are as sexual human beings is a VERY BIG DEAL! We begin to free ourselves from the constraints of our binary assignments when we sing together about our genitals! Please join us!”IT'S ONLY A WEE-WEE, SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?As soon as you're born GGrown-ups check where you pee CAnd then they decide D-D7Just how you're supposed t'be G-(C-G)Girls pink and quiet, GBoys noisy and blue CSeems like a dumb way D-D7To choose what you'll do G-(C-G)Cho: It's only a wee-wee GSo what's the big deal? CIt's only a wee-wee D-D7So what's all the fuss? GIt's only a wee-wee GAnd everyone's got one CThere's better D-D7Things to discuss!! G-(C-G)Now girls must use make-upGirls' names and girls' clothesAnd boys must use sneakersBut not pantyhose!The grown-ups will teach youThe rules to their dance,And if you get confused,They'll say “Look in your pants!”ChorusIf I live to be nine,I won't understandWhy grown-ups are tot'lyObsessed with their glandsIf I touch myself, ...“Don't you do that!” I'm told,And they treat me likeI might explode!ChorusNow grown-ups watch closelyEach move that we makeBoys must not cry,And girls must make cakeIt's all very formal,And I think it smellsLet's all be abnormalAnd act like ourselves!Chorus(extra Adult verse)She walked to the marketPast brave cavaliersShe tried to avoid them,They whistled and jeeredShe gave them the finger,They gave her more noiseSo she stopped and she sangTo those bright ‘little boys'Cho: It's only a wee-wee,So what's the big deal?It's only a wee-wee,So why do you watch?It's only a wee-wee,And everyone's got oneThere's more to lifeThan your crotch!!Written by Peter Alsop, ©1981, Moose School Music (BMI)For more discussion check out Peter Alsop's SONGS TO CHEW audio podcast here on Substack or anywhere you get podcasts!Peter Alsop's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

With a fearless approach and a commitment to uncovering the facts, Austin brings you stories that others won't. Summary: In a world where information is controlled and narratives are spun, The Adams Archive cuts through the noise to bring you the raw, unfiltered truth. Across our episodes, we delve into the intricate web of politics, culture, and technology, exposing the undercurrents that mainstream media often ignores. We begin by unraveling the chilling details of the recent security threat against Donald Trump. Austin takes you on a deep dive into the background and history of the individual behind this plot, revealing a complex tapestry of foreign mercenary work and potential ties to international entities. Transitioning from political intrigue to the complexities of the entertainment industry, we discuss the legal issues surrounding P Diddy. By exploring the allegations and controversies that have surfaced, we shed light on the hidden machinations of fame, power, and accountability. As we navigate these turbulent waters, we also tackle the growing issue of censorship in social media. With Meta's recent ban on RT, the Russian media outlet, we discuss the implications of corporate control over information and the impact on global narratives. Each episode seamlessly weaves these topics together, providing a comprehensive understanding of the forces at play behind the headlines.

My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today. On today's episode, we are going to be doing a deep dive into the background and history of the individual who conducted the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life in just 65 days.  Now, the reason that we can have almost a full episode on this is because there is so much to discuss. Whereas the last individual was some 20 year old with very little history that was, was able to even be pulled up, let alone be able to indicate something much, much deeper going on. But that is not the case today. This individual has years, dozens of years of history conducting what seems like a foreign, foreign mercenary work. And so we'll dive into the history of that. We'll talk about the potential ties. We'll look at who he's been associated with in the past. We'll even look at some of the, the articles that I was able to dig up myself, his criminal history, all of it.  Now on top of that, what we're going to open with today is the fact that P Diddy is now going to jail.  So we'll read that article, if you've listened to that episode a little bit ago, where I did a whole deep dive on the court documents. It is horrific. So we will discuss that too. And we will also discuss Meta Banning RT, which is the Russian media outlet. So, all of that and more coming up. Make sure you stick around, but first go ahead and hit that subscribe button, leave a five star review and head over to ronanbasics. com this hat on my head, this phone sleeve in my hand. If you are watching here on YouTube, all our Faraday products, Faraday products help you to be protected against the modern threats that are from your technology. So things like your cell phone, your wifi router, your microwave, all of the technology around you emits. EMF radiation.  Now, the hat is there to protect your brain. It has actually been shown in scientific studies, which is interesting to me that were done with a double blind placebo study with mice. The fact that EMFs actually target your brain. It's almost like a, um,  um, it's almost like a receiver for this type of radiation and it can cause terrible types of cancer. All right. So you can get yourself a EMF blocking Faraday hat. You can also get yourself an EMF blocking phone sleeve. Now this is actually more interesting because this stops your phone from getting all inbound and outbound signals. Now you might say, what is the use case? And I think I've heard that a couple times now. And to me, the way that I've been using this is it completely stops any distractions I have, whether I'm at work, hanging out with my wife, my kids, whatever it is, I can put my phone in there and know I'm not going to be distracted by any of the notifications, phone calls, text messages that are coming in. And it also stops you from being tracked. Um, all of the GPS signals go away.  Your, your phone cannot listen into your conversations, your, your camera's right there on the back of it. So all of that, check it out, ronanbasics. com.  And you can get 15 percent off by putting your email and phone number in when the pop up comes up. All right, so head over there, check it out. And without further ado, let's jump.  Oh, and by the way, that's my company. That's my company. Go show your support. Come on.  Let's jump.  Into it.  The Adams archive.  Hello.  What? Hello.  All right. Let's go ahead and jump into it here. The very first article that we're going to discuss is coming from CNN. Nonetheless. Now, the reason I found this to be ironic  is the fact that  Oh, the irony involved in it.  MetaBan's Russian state media outlet RT over foreign interference activity.  Hmm. That's interesting. So let's go ahead and read this because the irony that this article sits on CNN is hilarious because if Facebook's gonna going to remove any news outlet that is associated with the government  and pushing propaganda, The first one that they would have to remove would be CNN.  So,  uh, here we go. It says, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram announced Monday, let me go ahead and share this with my screen here if you're watching, um, announced Monday that it has banned Russian state media broadcaster RT and other Kremlin controlled networks alleging the outlets have engaged in deceptive influence operations and attempted to evade detection.  After careful consideration, we expanded our ongoing enforcement against Russian state media outlets, uh, I don't know how you pronounce that. RT and other related entities are now banned from our apps globally for foreign interference activity, a meta spokesperson said in a statement.  Prior to Monday's ban, RT had 7. 2 million followers on Facebook and 1 million followers on Instagram. RT did not immediately respond to CNN for comment.  The move comes days after the U. S. Justice Department  Announced charges against two RT employees for funneling nearly 10 million into a U. S. company identified by CNN as Tenant Media to create and amplify content that aligned with Russian interests.  The Covert Influence campaign was aimed at the American public ahead of the 2024 U. S. presidential election. U. S. presidential election.  Tenet Media boasts a slate of high profile right wing pro Trump commentators, including Tim Poole, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, and several others. All of them have released statements saying that they are victims of the alleged Russian scheme. After the Justice Department announced Announcement RT responded with mocking statements that did not address it was actually pretty hilarious the response that they made they like basically just laughed at them  The Kremlin commented that in the band that by meta on Tuesday with these actions meta is discrediting itself This complicates the prospect prospects for normalizing our relations with meta. Definitely somewhat true  Now where I see this being a problem  Is the fact that if you're going to run with that, essentially, you're now saying that if anybody's a state run media that is pushing any type of propaganda, you know, like the CIA interfering with our elections,  the NIH having a portal to discuss what content should be removed  from Metta  and Twitter and all of these other organizations, right? Like, We know 100 percent they have the same access to the news outlets. So what is the, what is the, the bar here being set?  Because if this is the bar, almost every single major news outlet has to get kicked off of Facebook and Instagram. It says executives from Meta, Microsoft and F, uh, Microsoft and Alphabet, which owns Google are expected to testify before the Senate intelligence committee on Wednesday on their platforms work to combat foreign relations to us elections.  So.  This is them trying to  fix without fixing the election, right? They're not going to do it in the same way. Mark Zuckerberg said, well, he just said this. Mark Zuckerberg just said he wasn't going to interfere.  Not allowing a, the  organization which is representing essentially a country  in their, their position on news news. to be seen by citizens. Why? Because you think we're stupid. This is where the privacy or the, the, the conversation surrounding  censorship really bothers me. Like who are you to discern anything? Who are you to tell me who to listen to and who not to listen to? Right? Like that would be your mom and your dad in high school telling you, Oh, that's a bad friend. Don't listen to them. It's like, no, let me judge for myself. I'm an adult. I'm intelligent. Very, very, very intelligent. likely much more intelligent than any individual of the government that's making these types of decisions.  So let me use my discernment, because you don't get to tell me what's truth, and what's not truth. Who's a, a factually based network, and who's not? That's not how this works. Freedom of speech has to go both ways, right? Now it says, uh,  well, this is the CNN  comment section, so this should be interesting.  It says if they are  banning deceptive influence operations, then the Harris campaign must be next. Yeah.  Uh, yeah.  Okay, so moving on. I thought that to be interesting. It is, it is quite ironic that it is META that is banning all of these, you know, the Russian state media when they were the ones taking directions from  our government. They were the controlled media. They were, that's exactly who they were. And now they're, they're just doing what they're being told again by the Harris campaign, because they don't want any, any information or news coming out from the entities that want to, I don't know, stop the war that they're in and not continue it like Kamala Harris would.  So there you go.  All right.  Now let's look at this real quick. Let's see if they have a list of all of the influencers.  Who were involved in this investigation?  Hmm. According to the indictment, some of the creators were told the project was being bankrolled by a man named Edward Gregorian.  Let's see the indictment.  I don't see a list here.  Here we go. Alright, let's see the indictment.  Where are the names? Where are the names? Hmm.  Let's see. Let's see. New  YouTube's Edward Gregorian. Founder 1 accepted interim payments.  So 8, 000 per month plus a percentage of any deals that Founder 1 closed with influencers.  Influencer talent scouting.  I want to see what the name of that was.  Anyways, maybe for another time after I've done the research.  But interesting, none the less. All right, moving on. This one is big.  P Diddy  was arrested in New York after a grand jury indictment. P Diddy is going to jail now, my friends. Finally, this human piece of garbage is getting what he deserves after 30 years, almost, in the music industry, tormenting, terrorizing, and blackmailing everybody in the industry, including celebrities, athletes,  you name it. He was blackmailing them, politicians, all of them.  He was the, the  P Diddy was the Epstein of the music industry and is now arrested  in jail in New York. Thank God.  Now, this article comes from the post millennial. It says Sean Diddy Combs has been arrested after a grand jury indictment in Manhattan on Monday.  The New York times has spoke with somebody who is not authorized to speak about it. What? Who spoke with somebody who was not authorized to speak about it. Okay. That's a weird statement.  said that the, but I'm going to speak on it. And they said charges in the indictment were not immediately clear. A federal official said in the spring.  Uh, so now if you go back, I could just riff off of this one.  I'll put this down for a second, but if you go back, do you, if you do not remember what was happening,  essentially there was a music producer named little rod and little rod  essentially went after.  P. Diddy for trying to blackmail him.  He was, he was saying that P. Diddy was, uh,  he was in a room when he shot somebody that he threatened to eat his face, that he put him in a position where Cuba Gooding Jr. was making sexual advancements on him. He then showed this little rod  a video of another famous producer engaging in sex acts with another man trying to convince him and say that, Hey, we're just going to do this one time so that you get used to this. Cause this is what the music industry is about.  It happens all the time.  And then he promised little rod. He promised this producer that if he engaged in these sex acts, that he would then get producer of the year awards.  Now, if you understand what Epstein was doing when he was blackmailing people, um, He was essentially taking them and giving them some sort of, you know, illegal, illicit drugs, activities, access to minors, and then using that blackmail against them in the future.  And this tells you  exactly how, what, what is happening, exactly what is happening behind the curtain in the music industry, which is the fact that all of the hits on the radio that you hear are fake. That is not something that has been a grassroots musician getting put into this position because they make the best music. No.  No. It's the same thing with  the movie industry. Hollywood. Right? By now you should know this.  It's all fake. They're blackmailing people. So you remember, you ever hear the selling your soul to the devil, signing the contract with the devil to get what you want in life?  That's what this is. That is the metaphor in action. They are essentially conducting themselves in a way that they commit these types of acts, sometimes knowingly, sometimes not, like in the P. Diddy case, because P. Diddy had cameras all in every single room of his house recording all of the time. Then he would bring all these people over, have these freak off parties,  bring in underage prostitutes, give those prostitutes alcohol,  drug the people that he wanted to then go have sex with these prostitutes,  videotape them doing it. And now he has you. He's gotcha. Now, is it he, that's the question that should be asked too. Is he the one that is using this blackmail against people? No, it's the head of, I believe it's the universal studio or not universal studios. Um, the Sony, uh, music industry record label.  So it was the head of this record label that essentially put him into power to begin with. He took a 21, 22 year old P. Diddy, Puffy, Sean Diddy Combs, whatever frickin name he had at the time, and he created Bad Boy Records with him. He essentially put him into this position in power, embedded him into the industry, and then had him collect blackmail on these individuals, and only he was the gatekeeper. He was the person who decided whether or not you passed go in the music industry, and the only way that you did that was by committing gay sex.  and letting them essentially videotape it, or sex with a prostitute that was underage.  And that's what this court document outlines. It's like 90 pages. Now, there's all sorts of horrific other things in there. He shot his son's friend in the bathroom and watched him essentially bleed out. Uh, he, he beat the hell out of this woman in the middle of a hotel on camera. P. Diddy is the worst person that you can imagine. And it couldn't have happened to a better person now that he's in jail.  Very happy to see this, but you have to understand that. I think that's the takeaway from all of this is Epstein was not on his own.  There is a Epstein in every major industry, whether it's finance, whether it's politics, whether it's music industry with P Diddy, whether it's Hollywood,  they're all rigged. Every single one of them has a gatekeeper.  And if you do not allow yourself to be blackmailed, you will not make it in the industry. That's the way it works. Every major musician, the same record label  that  picked up Sean Diddy, Combs,  P. Diddy,  and put him in this position,  that groomed Diddy to groom the entire industry to only allow certain types of, of  rappers into the industry,  also owns the contract of Taylor Swift.  Also brought to power, and this goes back decades, Janis Joplin, Aerosmith, all of these major musicians  were on this record label that was run by the single individual who had  Diddy do all of this.  There's a gatekeeper in every industry.  That is the takeaway here. Now what I wouldn't be surprised about is if what happened to Jeffrey Epstein very well may happen to Diddy. Diddy's probably going to get abstained. And the reason for that is because he has all of this blackmail and that man is going to chirp like a canary. I think the adages sing, but he's going to chirp like a canary because  I've heard him rap. He's not a very good singer, uh,  but he's going to sing like a canary as soon as he gets in there  and the very powerful people in, in those positions that he has blackmail on. Probably don't want him to do that, just like they didn't want Epstein to be able to talk about them, to get out of their sentencing.  That's the way it was.  Now, if you recall, the person that kind of was the,  the, his, his bodyguard was the one that was having all of this, uh, power and influence that had associations with, I think it was the Wharton school of business and all of these like very interesting potential three letter agency associations, uh, with these entities that are very closely tied to them.  So,  Ding dong. Diddy's dead. Happy, happy that that happened. Couldn't have happened to a worse person. Very, very glad about it. All right. Now that leads us into our next topic, which is going to be about all about the alleged attempt, not alleged, the actual attempted assassination of Donald Trump.  Now I went into a deep dive on this and I tried to do as much of my own,  as much of my own digging as possible. So I'll tell you the tools I used, how I did it, all of that.  But I was able to find some very interesting things and I hit some dead ends that are even more interesting.  And I'll talk about those.  But first let's go ahead and hear exactly  what happened. And then we will hear from Trump himself.  And then we'll look into the history of this  shooter.  All right. So, I do have somewhere on here a video  where it explains  what happened.  Let's see.  Alright, and here is the Secret Service and FBI holding a press conference where they explain exactly what happened. Here we go.  According to the allegations in the complaint,  a U. S. Secret Service agent walking the golf course perimeter saw what appeared to be a rifle poking out of the tree line.  After the agent fired a service weapon in the direction of the rifle, a witness saw a man later identified as Ralph fleeing the area in the tree line.  Ralph was later apprehended by officers from the Martin County Sheriff's Office in coordination with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.  The complaint alleges that in the area of the tree line from which Ralph fled,  Agents found a digital camera, a backpack, a loaded SKS style rifle with a scope,  and a black plastic bag containing food.  The serial number on the rifle was obliterated.  According to the complaint, Roth was convicted of felonies in North Carolina in December 2010.  Now, the weapon is interesting because this is a SKS style,  essentially a rifle, and  you can't buy those. I mean, it's really not a common weapon in the U. S. Now, this man wasn't able to actually have a weapon in the U. S. because he's had two felony charges, one for, uh, weapons of mass destruction, which we'll talk about in a few minutes here, but where did he get this rifle?  It's a very common rifle in where he was embedding himself trying to recruit Afghani soldiers for the Ukraine war. So how did he get back to the U. S. potentially with that rifle?  It's an interesting question to ask. 2002  and March 2010  and therefore  was prohibited from possessing a firearm.  Right. The FBI is leading this investigation, this ongoing investigation.  As the Attorney General stated earlier today, the FBI is continuing its investigation of this incident as an assassination attempt  upon the former president.  The investigation  So there you go. Essentially, Trump went to go golfing as a very spontaneous last minute golf outing, and somehow, this man was able to figure it out,  fly here from Hawaii, and  Not sure how that happened. And then post up for more than 12 hours cell phone data sets.  So there's a  video that went around.  that was talking about how the, I believe it was one of the, um, the sheriffs that were there or another individual that was involved in the case talking about how they had no idea. How did this man get access to know that he was going to be golfing on this golf course that day? And then how did this man that was either generally embedded in Ukraine or Afghanistan and lived in Hawaii, get to this golf course in time to be there for 12 hours. And this person alleges that there had to have been a leak. This had to have been a conspiracy. He had to have been tipped off by somebody who was involved in the close proximity of Trump's campaign, where he would have actually known to be at this golf course on that day, because it was very last minute, very spontaneous golf trip.  And nobody knew about it other than his campaign staff.  So how did this man know? Well,  Hopefully, one day, we'll find out.  Now, what's interesting about this too is that this is absolutely going to take the spotlight off of the first assassination attempt,  which was  absolutely atrociously handled by law enforcement and by the Secret Service.  Another interesting fact about it is that this man had a GoPro on himself during the time of committing this act. Who did he expect to watch this video? Why would you record yourself doing it?  So let's read up a little bit more about this after we hear Trump's response. And this happened just last night on the 16th. Here it is. I'm  relieved that you're here with us today after the second attempt, um, on your life at the Trump National Golf Club. It's just horrifying. Can you run us through what happened?  So, uh, I was playing golf with Some of my friends, it was on a Sunday morning and very peaceful, very beautiful weather. Everything was beautiful. Nice place to be. And all of a sudden we heard shots  being fired in the air  and I guess probably four or five.  And it sounded like bullets, but what do I know about that? But Secret Service knew immediately it was bullets.  And, uh, they grabbed me and, uh,  I think probably the other one, Steve is one of the people, Steve Woodcuff, a great friend of mine, a great, uh, great businessman from mostly New York and Florida, great businessman. And more importantly, just a fantastic person. So we're in the group. And, uh, everybody just, we got into the carts, and we moved along pretty, pretty good. Uh, I was with an agent, and the agent did a fantastic job. There was no question that we were,  I would have loved to have sank that last putt. But, uh, we decided, let's get out of here. And, what the, uh, gunfire was, actually, interestingly, was a, uh, Secret Service agent  had seen a barrel of a AK 47, which is a very powerful gun.  And, uh, he started shooting at the barrel and started shooting in the bushes. Well, could only see the barrel. How good is that? Right. But could only see the barrel based on that. He started shooting  and, uh, ran towards the target and was shooting a lot of, I mean, those were the shots we heard. The other one never got a shot off and he ran across the street  and grabbed his car, hopped into his truck or car.  And amazingly a civilian.  In that area saw something and it looked very suspicious  and in the car, drove their car to the back of his  truck of some kind  and took pictures of the license plate, gave them to the sheriff's office, Sheriff Bradshaw is fantastic, great, great sheriff for a long time  and within a fairly short period of time they tracked him down on the highway, it was a pretty high speed chase and they ended up getting him, they got him. Yeah.  You wouldn't want to have somebody like that out there, you know, he dropped his gun, the AK 47, he left his gun, he left a cameras behind left a lot of things behind. So the agent did a fantastic job. The civilian did a phenomenal job, a woman. I mean, who would think you could take 1000 times like that? How many people would have the brainpower to follow him  and not many inches of the back of his truck so that they end up getting and the key was the license. So they got the license and After they had the license, you know, there's all sorts of technology where they can literally pinpoint where this truck is. I never knew something like that existed. And, uh, they pinpointed him on the highway.  They got him with a high speed chase. So, they got him.  It was amazing. So, Secret Service did a great job. And I think, I can say honestly, the Sheriff's Office, law enforcement, everybody really did a great job.  So, right from his mouth, that's what happened. And again, it goes back to the question, how did this man know that he was going to be on that golf course? It was a spontaneous trip. There's no reason that this, that he should have been able to be tipped off about this, unless it was somebody in Trump's campaign.  or the secret service or somebody doing security for him. But how would you even get to this individual? So this is where let's bring up. Who was Ryan Routh?  Who was this man?  It's a very, very interesting case.  And we have a bunch of different articles here that we'll look at that talk about who he is. We'll look at all the news articles that he's been speaking or he's actually been seen in the news. talking to the news companies about the Ukraine war. So he's a very, very active  recruiter,  a mercenary recruiter for the Ukrainian war.  Now, how does one go back and forth between here in Ukraine, into Afghanistan, do a bunch of news talks  and not be known by the FBI. This man had to have been on their radar. He was in an Azov commercial, which is the special forces arm of essentially of Ukraine.  The same one that was accused of being a extension of the Nazi party, essentially.  He was in their commercial.  So let's look at this timeline that discusses exactly who he is and where he's been seen and what we know about him.  Alright, this article just gives a bunch, a bunch of sources.  Uh, it says,  A source with direct knowledge of the investigation confirmed to The Guardian that the suspect in Sunday's case is 58 year old Ryan Wesley Routh, though law enforcement has not officially named him, which they have now, and was no immediate indication of a motive. The son of the man accused of trying to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course Sunday night. Said his father had traveled to Ukraine and volunteered to provide the son, what the son described as humanitarian aid to troops defending the country from Russian forces that invaded in 2022, which is not the case. This man was there to recruit  foreign soldiers to the Ukrainian war saying that he had NATO trained soldiers ready to fight thousands of them.  How does a foreign mercenary recruiting for Ukraine  in commercials for the Azov battalion not be on the radar of the FBI? Especially when this man went on long, long, long tangents all day every day on social media talking about his motives  for doing so. It says he just so happened to be filmed in  2022 by Newsweek about his effort to recruit mercenaries to fight in Ukraine. So we'll look at that.  And then the New York times even wrote a profile on Ryan Roth back in 2023. So let's look at some of these articles where it talks about him.  The first being that  the son of the suspect talks out about the assassination attempt. And then in this, in this interview, he essentially says that he hated Trump.  It says the son of the man accused talks about, uh, assassinating Donald Trump at his Florida golf course on Sunday, said his father had traveled to Ukraine and volunteered to provide the son what the son described as humanitarian aid to troops.  Uh, now there's a video here that we can watch  where he's actually talking about this. And this man  has half blue hair and a U. S. flag t shirt on.  Ukrainians and the rest of the world are caring and kind and, and generous and, and unselfish and, and take care of one another. And it's just a matter of,  you know, we need to stand up for that. That is the most important thing in the world. You know, when you talk to a 20 year old guy that sold everything he owns to come here and fight, that is heroism. You know, he's coming here to risk his life. for humanity, for the Ukrainians, you know, guys that sell everything they own to come here and support the Ukrainians while others sit at home and, and, and do nothing. Hmm. And that was the Guardian.  There's an extension of that,  uh, video that we'll watch here as well, but here's an actual video. I haven't seen this one yet. Body cam footage footage showing the arrest of the shooter.  Let's watch that real quick.  Driver,  take two steps to your right.  Take two steps to your right driver, and they're sitting here. There's three officers, four officers, five officers, six officers in view,  sheriff's  telling him to get out of his vehicle.  This man now has his shirt over his head and he's getting taken to the ground.  Should have tripped a leg. Just at least a nice take down. Uh.  Okay, so let's, let's see if we can find the next video, uh, the extension of that video where he continues to talk.  And here it is.  Who you are and why are you here? Uh, I'm 56 from the U. S., U. S., uh, from North Carolina originally. So I live in Hawaii now. So I flew all the way from Hawaii here. So the question as far as why I'm here. to me. You know, a lot of the other conflicts are gray, but this conflict is definitely black and white. This is about good versus evil. This is a storybook. You know, any movie we've ever watched this is definitely evil against good. I mean, we're battling a situation here where, you know, the Ukrainians and the rest of the world are caring and kind and, and generous and, and unselfish and, and take care of one another. And it's just a matter of.  You know, we need to stand up for that. That is the most important thing in the world is just to show human beings that we're kind and we're caring and that we take care of one another and that the world is united so that we feed each other and make sure that, you know, we all move forward as as one collective whole unit. So, you know, we feel the pain of one country's failure and their conflicts and we enjoy the successes of other countries that are doing good and we all work together and for some reason. Russia does not grasp this concept that we're, we're all one unit and we have to get along and work together and, and, and,  and be normal human beings. This is 2022. We have to work together. It's, it's, it seems asinine that we have a leader in a country that does not understand the concept of, of being unselfish and being generous. Thank you very much. And being kind and just the basic moral values that are required by human beings these days. It blows my mind.  Now I want to listen to that video. Tell me who you are and why are you here? Uh, I'm 56 from the U. S., U. S., uh, from North Carolina, originally. Still live in Hawaii now, so flew all the way. I just wanted to hear him pronounce his own name, uh, but he didn't do that. Okay. So, uh, essentially this man has been in several, several news stations all over the world. He's been seen in written about in the New York times. He's been on news week. He's been plastered all over as a recruiter for, for mercenary teams.  And you're trying to tell me this man was not, no radar.  Has no ties to the FBI has no ties to the CIA has has not been on any list anywhere.  This man.  Absolutely has been tracked.  And here's yet another article by the newindian. in, which the title to this article is U. S. Mercenary Plans to Recruit Pakistani Based Afghan Refugees as Fighters in Ukraine. Now who is that mercenary?  Well you read on in the article here, and that's the same individual,  the same person  who tried to  kill Trump.  So when we start looking through more and more of these articles,  one thing that comes up is that there's actually a website that he ran recruiting foreign fighters and it says attempted Trump assassination or assassin. Ryan Ruth  ran a Ukrainian foreign fighter recruitment website  where he offered 1,  200 per month.  To Afghani soldiers  to fight in the Ukraine war  from all over the world on this site. He had advocated for nuking Russia, stealing bombs and weapons from other countries to give Ukraine. He seems to have been totally radicalized by the media. This says in the left in recent years, his writings are filled with lunatic MSNBC style takes on the Ukrainian war. His social media shows he was also a big fan of many Democrat politicians. Here's the recruitment website. Now I also understand that I think he actually voted for Donald Trump in 2016. Um, and then he actually wanted to push for it. So, so the assassin  that tried to kill Donald Trump actually wanted a Vivek  and Nikki Haley ticket, which he posted on his Instagram, crying to Vivek, asking him to jump on the ticket with Nikki Haley as the presidential candidate.  Now, why would some warmongering Democrat  Wanting to expand the war in Ukraine and how much we're offering them in terms of  Access to supplies and soldiers. Why would that want a Nikki Haley ticket? Hmm. I wonder if she's maybe the biggest war hawk that was on on the presidential  Candidacy,  so let's look at this website  This website is FightForUkraine. com. ua and it says military recruitment. It's a terrible website, by the way. Um, military recruitment. Pay 1200 USD per month for all ages, genders, and skill levels to none. Ukrainian Army wishes and hopes to pay every person helping in the fight for freedom and human rights, but the country is struggling and funds and support dwindling. So our expectations must be realistic, and what we each must give will be far beyond normal sacrifice. But it is what we all must do.  Each one of us is responsible for the outcome of this war, as our every single action must stand for humanity and show kindness, caring, selflessness, altruism, empathy, generosity, and all of the moral goodness that this battle is about.  Volunteering in Ukraine is the most honorable and noble sacrifice. And every human on the planet should be here for freedom and human rights, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.  Uh, fighters do not waste time in the embassy of your country. Just come with gear and food and money. Expect nothing. Everyone must slowly be vetted and you must prove loyalty.  Now there's actually a way that he tells them how to basically traffic themselves  into Ukraine. And here's what it says. You do not need a visa. Simply get all military gear and money and fly to Krakow.  Take an intercity train or bus to this bus station.  Take a local train or bus to here. Make your way to the border with Ukraine.  Tell the border guard you want to join the International Legion, and they will take you to the office and meet with Nazar and the leaders. Now I wonder who Nazar is. If you do not have military experience, you must sell yourself that you are capable. They will run your passport and go through your phone and make sure you are not Russian. If accepted, you go directly to a nearby base and train. There is a tent located alongside the sidewalk to the border for the Foreign Legion. It is very casual.  You can sell yourself there to be shipped to the base in Western Ukraine. If all of the above fails, cross the border to Ukraine, take a bus to the border town, Lviv, get a train to Kiev, get in touch with me. We can call and visit countless units in need of help. We have unlimited places to fight and help, so please do not hesitate.  Insights from the fighters. I like how we use this like a, uh,  Customer review style. Uh, I was injured in the car accident and many people have been seriously killed or hurt just in transit from bad driving. So be careful who you ride with. Like, okay,  do not expect anything to be given to you. You will need to come with everything you need or you may, you may need or buy it here. Anything you are lucky to get given as a bonus and whatever food you can bring is smart as well.  Yeah. It doesn't sound like what,  I don't know. I want to ship myself for  And here is his face on this recruitment website.  And it has his email, his Facebook, his Twitter, his phone number, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Viber.  I want to see if this is a, uh, let's see, is this a link tree? Oh, it goes to his WhatsApp.  Well, I'm definitely going to be on some list somewhere. No.  Uh,  Here it is. So there's his literal mercenary recruitment website.  The assassin of Donald Trump had a mercenary recruitment website for Ukrainian fighters. Now, who he was trying to get to come over were Afghani soldiers that he was trying to convince to do this. Now, there is a whole, uh, let's see, there's a whole recording of every one of the tweets he ever made.  That is up on Twitter right now that I looked through and that's where I saw the Vivek and Nikki Haley ticket situation. Now here's a video of him, uh, talking about it.  To be cooperative. That's Ryan Ruth, a U. S. citizen who set up the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine to help connect foreigners to Ukrainian military units. Now I'm talking to over 100 soldiers every day and pretty much everybody,  all of my contacts in Ukraine, they were adamant and pretty much yelled at me every time that I suggested that we bring in Afghans. The Ukrainian government didn't respond to our request for comment.  Ukraine is reluctant to.  There you go. So another news outlet that had this man on camera, how does he have all of this, all of these connections? How does he have all these ties? How is he able to get to Ukraine? Know who to send these people to?  Sounds a little fishy to me.  And as we move through some more of these articles, he is found in this as of battalion ad campaign.  And here is that.  There he is.  Now, some people were saying this is a BlackRock ad. No, it's not.  It's an Azov Battalion ad. Just a Nazi ad.  And then,  there's more and more articles with his name on it. One being the New York Times. And if we search his name here, You'll see, with Legion growth stalling, Ryan Routh, a former construction worker from Greensboro, North Carolina, is seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban. Mr. Routh is, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he planned to move them, in some cases illegally, from Pakistan to Iran to Ukraine. So if the New York Times is writing about this person, if he's in an Azov battalion campaign, ad campaign.  There's no way this man's cell phone was not being monitored. There's no way this man didn't have ties to the CIA. There's no way they weren't on his radar at the very least to where they would be monitoring him. No way if this mercenary recruiter in Ukraine  from the United States  wasn't on their radar, wasn't being monitored, and didn't have some ties to people who may want to monitor him. alert this potential asset to go do a specific task at a specific time at a specific place when the opportunity arose.  This one is absolutely clear cut to me. There's no way this man didn't have associations with three letter agencies or at least weren't on their radar to where he would have been stopped.  But again, we go back to the fact that this had to have been leaked. Somebody knew about this and told this man where to go and when in this last minute golf outing.  We can probably purchase some passports through Pakistan since it's such a corrupt country, he said in an interview with Washington. It is not clear whether he has succeeded, but one former Afghan soldier said he had been contacted and was interested in fighting if it meant leaving Iran, where he was living illegally.  So, the New York Times was writing about him, and this was in, let's see,  this was written March 25th.  2023. So just last year,  uh, here is a picture of his blue house in Hawaii.  You can't make this stuff up. Uh, his blue house in Hawaii with a Biden Harris sticker on his truck.  Very interesting.  Now here's a, a  conspiratorial thought coming from, uh, a Russian.  Account, I believe this person is some sort of  Diplomat, excuse me. It's 6 a. m. Here  The deputy chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation All right And he said I wonder what would happen if it turned out that the failed new Trump shooter Routh Who recruited mercenaries for the Ukrainian army was himself? Hired by the neo nazi regime in Kiev for this assassination attempt.  Now that's another interesting theory, right? Maybe it wasn't the CIA. Maybe it wasn't BlackRock or Vanguard. Maybe it was the entity that is in a foreign war  where if  he gets into office,  they may not get the funding they need. Maybe it was Zelensky that called this man who they knew had ties. How many United States individuals are over there recruiting mercenaries for that?  How many are there? 5, 10, 20, 1?  And why aren't we considering the fact  that it could have been the Azov Battalion, it could have been the Ukrainian Army, it could have been Zelensky himself  that called this man, told him where to be with military intelligence,  and told him what to do so that the cash cow could keep producing supplies, producing soldiers, producing more and more money to Ukraine so that they continue to fight this proxy war on behalf of the United States.  That's an interesting theory that I don't think anybody's really considering.  So  is it Ukraine wanting to continue their war? Is it somebody from Israel wanting to continue their war? Because they know if Trump gets in office, he is not pro war the same way that Kamala will be. He cannot be bought off the same way that Kamala can be. He is not a puppet for the powers that be the way that Kamala is.  So there's only one way to get rid of Trump on this ticket and this assassination. I do not believe this is going to be the last attempt on his life before the election. And I do not believe that the assassinations will stop. The assassination attempts will stop even when he gets in office. I don't believe that. There's no reason to. They're trying to stop him from being in office.  Not trying to stop him from being elected. It's trying to stop him from being the president. So these  assassination attempts will continue.  Especially now that the floodgates have opened. Not one, but two now.  Looking through the comments here of what was said underneath that.  Now some more information about here. Let's do a rapid fire round. Some more information here about this man.  Is that he has a long standing criminal record. Long standing criminal record. Let me go ahead and change this over here.  Um, everything from petty  traffic stops.  Many, many times he had his license revoked. Um, but here is a long list. So everybody has these screenshots. I went to the source.  This is the North Carolina Judicial Branch e courts portal website  where you can see every one of his criminal cases dating back to 2001.  And if we go look into some of these cases, the one that was most interesting to everybody involved weapons of mass destruction.  Now, everybody was curious about this. You couldn't seem to find any information about this.  And it doesn't say anything in the court records. You actually have to pull the full court file.  So I went  to pull the whole court file.  And you can do this only through one software, one platform, and it's called PACER, and it's what lawyers use to be able to pull legal files. It's what people can use in their own legal cases to pull these. It's essentially a government database where you can pull all of the, the files for, for publicly available court cases.  Now when I went to PACER,  made an account,  signed into that account, searched several other legal cases, I had no issues.  Now, I took this case, the one here about possession of a weapon of mass destruction from 4 29 of 2002,  and asked it to pull the full file of that case. Immediately when I did that, I was logged out of my account. My account was turned inactive,  and I cannot get a hold of anybody at PACER to be able to access these files. I stayed on hold for an hour and a half yesterday  trying to get on the phone with somebody. And every time they picked up, they hung up on me.  Now I don't think that part's as fishy as the fact that it automatically logged me out, deactivated my account. As soon as I searched for these files,  there's absolutely a coverup happening  and I might be, I, I, I, I commend you.  I don't commend you. I. I highly encourage you to go to PACER, the PACER website, which is pacer. psc. uscourts. gov.  Right? pacer. psc. uscourts. gov.  And you can go here and search for a case,  create an account, and I'll even show you that my account won't work.  But you can create an account and search a specific court case.  Now the court case that you're going to look up is going to be Ryan Routh vs. the state of North Carolina.  When you search that, you will be immediately logged out, your account will be deactivated, and you will not be able to log in or search for any more court cases. Now I  will show you exactly what I'm talking about here.  So if I go to log into PACER, again, the only governmental database where you can access these types of documents, I was going to pull the full court file because nobody was finding information out about  this man's case.  It says, Although you have a PACER account, your account is inactive. If you have questions or further details on how to activate your search privileges, contact PACER Service Center at 800 676 6856 between these hours. You may continue to log in and perform other activities, e file, request filing privileges, but you will not have PACER search privileges. Now when I continue,  it won't even let me logged in.  There's currently an issue with your Pacer account. For additional information, contact the Pacer Service Center at 800 676 6856. It won't even let me log in.  They won't pick up the phone. They answer why. And this happened immediately as I pressed the enter button to look up and pull that court case.  Now I was able to find one single article  that talks about what happened  back in 2002  and here it is.  This is from greensboro. com man with gun. And I don't think anybody really, there's been a couple of times I've seen this article referenced. Most people haven't seen this article. It was very, very difficult to find.  Man with gun barricades himself inside business says an armed man was arrested Monday morning after barricading himself in a business during a three hour standoff with police.  Now I would like you to note that this was updated in January 24th of 2015.  Interesting.  Uh, Ryan Routh, 36, was arrested without incident at 1 a. m. Monday at United Roofing, 1735 West Lee Street, Greensboro Police said.  Routh was pulled over at about 10 p. m. Sunday during a traffic stop, police said, but he put his hand on his firearm and drove to United Roofing where he remained barricaded inside.  Ralph was charged with carrying a concealed weapon in possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Now, everybody was like a weapon of mass destruction. Did he have a nuke? Did he have a chemicals? What was it? That that was this weapon of mass destruction. This is the only place that you can find it. After I tried to pull those court documents, a fully automatic  weapon.  So nothing too, too crazy there. Again, how did he get that weapon? What was he doing with that weapon?  All good questions. He was also charged with resisting, delaying, and obstructing a law enforcement officer and driving while his license was revoked.  So there you have it. Now,  when you do some searches on Ryan Routh, you can find his emails, his addresses, his phone numbers. And one of the emails that I found of his leads back to him,  a company.  And I'll show you how I found this here, but a company called icom design.com.  Now what's interesting about this is this is a Greensboro number  and when you look up Icom design, 'cause this is all it is, it was allegedly a website building company back in 2002 to 2004.  Um, but there's no information on it.  It's been updated to show a copyright of 2024.  There's an email that you can click.  And if you look on LinkedIn, there's a few individuals who are associated with ICOM Design.  This is one of them.  Ananda Rose Benet.  Interesting. Greensboro, North Carolina. An intern at ICOMdesign. com.  With a pretty recent picture with pink and blue hair. Ananda Rose Benet.  And it says she's a web designer, dah, dah, dah, dah, an intern at ICOM Design back in 2012 and has worked there for 11 years. Probably not, this might just be an old,  nobody's going to be an intern for 11 years. Um, but when you also look up more people who were a part of this ICOM Design, which is where I found, uh, an email that was associated with him, so I'll show you that.  So there's a website that you can go to and use.  And it will show you  addresses, phone numbers, associates,  family members,  job history, all of it.  So you can verify this information yourself. Look at his addresses,  um, phone numbers that he's associated with. This three, three, six area code is a Greensboro area code. You can see. Oh, this is his wife, Laura Routh. Sorry, I was doing some more digging here, but let's look up Ryan.  So his current address is Hawaii. Hers is North Carolina, which is interesting as well,  but  Previous addresses, but here's his website. Now you can see United roofing was a roofing company. He owned you can see GSO skate park at yahoo. com and that was basically his son 10 years ago or so was trying to create a skate park in local Greensboro area without a permit and it became this big news article thing and he was trying to raise money for it and he did with some oil company also sketchy.  GSO skate park at yahoo. com that he was trying to get people to send funds to. Um, I can validate that for you in several different ways. Um,  here I'll show you where I found that just so you can see it.  Uh,  here we go.  Where's the article?  That's the barricade article. That's not what we're looking for. Um,  oh.  That got pulled. That's interesting.  I just looked at that article yesterday and now it is scrubbed,  scrubbed from the internet.  That's interesting. Um,  so you can validate that by the skate park. Let's see if I'll just look it up for you.  Here's the article where you can see a skateboard park.  Skateboard park closed. Skate park violates zoning laws. And you can see that Ryan Routh was mentioned several times throughout this article because his son was one of the founders of this skate park. Here it is. Ryan Routh says he brought in the structural design engineer. Here's his what his company United Roofing Co.  Talked about how they were gonna charge some money so that they could put up a porta potty and all this stuff. All right. So just to show you that what we're looking at is true here. Even the GSO skate park at yahoo. com was accurate,  which I was like, no way. This guy's associated with, you know, a skate park. That makes no sense. But then I found the articles and there it is. And that tells you how far I've been digging into this personally. Um, you probably won't hear about that on any other channel or individual.  Um, but that led me to Matt at ICOM design. com. Now, why would he go by Matt is one question.  But ICOMdesign. com, then you go to ICOMdesign. com.  And this is the website that you're met with. It's a front website. It doesn't make any sense. There's a phone number, which I have yet to call.  And if you want to do that and let me know how it goes, let me know. 336 854 8500.  Click to email. This is it. Then you can take that and you go to LinkedIn and see who's associated with ICOMdesign. com. All right. There's five individuals who are listed under that.  Let's see if we can pull up the icomdesign. com people.  Let's go back. And there was three of them that were opera singers  and in Hawaii.  So icomdesign. com, Matt at icomdesign. com  is a front website that has employees in both states where he lives and operates.  And several of them are opera singers.  Now I would have thought the opera singers would have been a different entity altogether, but the fact that they live on the exact island  that he lived in  makes the association make sense.  It doesn't make it make sense, but it validates it.  Right? So if you go to, maybe not icomdesign. com, Well, let's go to ICOM design and we look up who are the employees.  It's not showing it anymore. It won't even try to let me access her. But if we go back, I was able to find,  get access to those individuals by going around it the same way that I was, I got to her. Um,  so let's see LinkedIn, but anyways, that was what I found on that front is that yeah. The people that were working at this ICOM Designs were located in  both states that he operates out of, Hawaii  and North Carolina,  and there's only a front website here, and his  name is associated with this mat at ICOMdesign. com.  Not sure where that's going to lead us, but we'll continue diving down that hole. It's very interesting.  Now back to the case here, possession of weapons of mass destruction, right? I tried to follow that, hold on as many strings as I could until I hit a dead end where they locked me out of my account and wouldn't give me any more information.  Um, found this article.  Now let's see what else we have here. Um,  he even had this soldier's passport and birth certificate.  Uh, In his posts on LinkedIn.  So his LinkedIn was still up when I looked yesterday. I'm not sure if it will be today. Let's look.  It's going to be pulled. I bet it is  because his picture's gone now.  Let's see. Oh, there it is. Okay. So here's his LinkedIn 10 connections would be really interesting to see who those 10 people are.  Now, sometimes you can look over here and it will recommend people  who are associated with them. It just won't tell you,  right? It's not going to tell you who their connections are,  but it shows that he was, uh, the owner of Campbox Honolulu for the last six years, they've made essentially one building the entire time. So where's this man getting his money from to make all these flights from here and back, uh, with no history whatsoever of any success in any business that he's had ever.  And then you can look at what were some of his comments. What has he  posted, what has he discussed, right? Go to activity, show all activity.  And you'll see some of his posts. Here's one of them that has a bunch of people commenting on it now. 144 comments. And then there was another one, if you go under comments,  where he had this.  person was, uh, some sort of recruiter, um,  onsite hiring. And then this man,  Carl Hugely  commented on this  and said,  um, details. Now that man's sense has removed  his comments since yesterday.  I have your passport and birth certificate here in Hawaii. Call me 808 379 9411. And it's this Carlton Hughley. Okay. So there's the comment. He said the interested, and he probably searched this man's name, tried to tell him I have it. Why would you have somebody's passport and birth certificate? That's pretty crazy situation to find yourself in. Uh, so that's his really, his only comment on LinkedIn.  So I will continue digging into this and seeing how many dead ends I hit.  But there's a lot of strings to pull on here, guys.  A lot of strings to pull on here.  Now I'm going to look through. I created a notes situation on this, um, so that I could track everything that we looked at. But, um, but anyways, there's your breakdown. There's the situation.  I will continue to do a deep dive on this. Hopefully more information comes out. This one is so sketchy.  So sketchy. Like I said, there's absolutely zero chance that this man has all these ties, all these associations, all these news network interviews  was in an as off battalion  advertising campaign  was being interviewed by the New York times by newsweek  was a recruiter, a mercenary recruiter in Ukraine going back and forth constantly and somehow managed to evade the radar of the CIA and the FBI.  And I do think that the idea is very interesting that this man was potentially put up to this by his association and his allegiance to, because you listed that to that video, he has a strong belief in what is happening in Ukraine, or at least he pretends to.  So if he was asked or tasked to do this  by Ukraine, because they want to stop Trump from getting an office because they know that  The money train will stop when Trump goes in office.  It's an interesting theory,  but I'm sure there's many mothers that are just as crazy, if not crazier, that could also be true.  So  subscribe, leave a five star review, head over to ronanbasics. com  and until next time,  thank you for listening.

Danes pa učna ura o prioritetah. Kar sporočamo, je naslednje. Občestvu, ki ga vsaj nekoliko zanima družbena stvarnost, so v medijih v glavnem predstavljene obvezne teme. Te lahko najdete v svojih občilih, na svojih družabnih platformah in ob svojih šankih. Optika se sicer spreminja, osnovne teme pa ne. Torej; za letošnjo jesensko-zimsko kolekcijo smo izbrali: "Vladi podpora pada, v kombinaciji s partnerico predsednika vlade, v kombinaciji z deljenjem milijonov, ki jih dobimo za popoplavno sanacijo." Tako opremljeni menimo, da vemo vse, kar je treba vedeti. A kot poskušamo poudariti v naši skromni oddaji teh nekaj zadnjih desetletij, je stvarnost, ki jo dojemamo kot pomembno in edino zveličavno, samo privid. Interesi in centri moči, strici iz ozadja, če hočete, delujejo tiho, lahko bi rekli, da celo potuhnjeno. Poglejmo zadnji primer. Medtem ko si lomimo zobe na komedijah zmešnjave slovenske politike, v državnem zboru čisto potihem poteka postopek o potrditvi več uredb, ki pod predsedstvom Španije uvajajo oziroma spreminjajo dele kmetijske zakonodaje, ki obravnava »pridelavo in trženje rastlinskega razmnoževalnega materiala v Uniji. V tem trenutku namreč v Evropski povezavi poteka novo poglavje v bitki za in proti uporabi gensko spremenjenih organizmov. Po novem se v preteklosti tako zelo razdvajajoča kmetijska tehnika sicer imenuje »nove genomske tehnike«, a če so korporacije spremenile ime, še ne pomeni, da se je spremenilo bistvo teh organizmov. GSO-ji imajo tudi v Evropski skupnosti že dolgo zgodovino in če zelo na kratko povzamemo: Evropejci jih po anketah Eurostata nočemo ne videti ne okušati, še najmanj jesti, a napori za njihovo večjo uveljavitev, za liberalizacijo njihove pridelave in za na nek način privatizacijo naše hrane nikoli ne ponehajo. Najnovejša fronta je odprta na področju semen in v evropski zakonodajni postopek je dana uredba, ki gensko spremenjenim semenom odpira vrata tudi na našo skupno evropsko njivo. Lobiranje in nabori, da se uporabo gensko spremenjenih semen brez večjega nadzora dovoli tudi v Evropi, potekajo zadnji dve leti. Prav te tedne, skoraj dneve, pa je odločanje institucij na več ravneh v zadnji fazi. Kaj vse skupaj sploh pomeni? Tema je zapletena, strokovno občutljiva in zato vsegliharstvo skromne radijske oddaje ni na mestu; a prav kompleksnost je tudi razlog, da se je lažje ukvarjati s lestvicami priljubljenosti kot z bistvenimi problemi. In naša hrana, na katero bi sprejetje uredbe vplivalo neposredno, je bistven problem. Zelo na hitro in zelo površno. Zakonodaja, ki se pripravlja na ravni Evropske skupnosti predvideva, da v prihodnje ne bi bilo več treba označevati živil, vzgojenih iz gensko spremenjenih semen; ta pa bi bila podvržena patentni zakonodaji. Se pravi, da bi kmetje in kmetijska podjetja ob nakupu semena plačevala tudi patent, kar bi dobičke multinacionalk pognalo v nebo. Ob tem pa bi uporabo, promet in prodajo avtohtonih domačih semen v določenih primerih celo omejili … Sprememba imena – od "gensko spremenjenih organizmov« do »novih genomskih tehnik" – se uresničuje v zakonodaji, ki razume, da so rastline, ki imajo na genomu do dvajset sprememb, izvzete iz označevanja na poznejših izdelkih in predvsem izvzete iz preverjanja njihove biološke varnosti. Povedano skrajno poenostavljeno: če ima gensko spremenjena rastlina do dvajset posegov na svojem genomu, se formalnopravno izenači s konvencionalno rastlino. Še drugače – v Evropi bi dobili identičen sistem, kot ga poznajo v Združenih državah, kjer gensko spremenjenih organizmov, oziroma izdelkov, ki jih vsebujejo, ni treba dodatno označevati. Kaj natančno pomeni uvedba GSO v naravni cikel, pa menda po treh desetletjih življenja z njimi v glavnem že vemo; vpliv na opraševanje, porazen vpliv na nekatere vrste žuželk, predvsem pa kontaminacijo s temi organizmi tudi na površinah, ki so namenjene oziroma na katerih se kmetuje trudijo gojiti rastline po principih ekološkega kmetovanja. Od tega kratkega izleta v biotsko raznovrstnost pa k politiki. Državni svet je bil do predlagane zakonodaje zadržan in je glasoval proti. A kot vemo, je državni svet brezzobi tiger. Pomembnejše glasovanje je daleč od oči javnosti, ki jo bolj zanima, kdo in kako je prižgal lučke v decembrski Ljubljani, potekalo v odboru za »zadeve Evropske unije« slovenskega parlamenta. Tam so poslanci z osmimi glasovi za in štirimi glasovi proti potrdili stališča naše države do paketa treh uredb o »novih genomskih tehnikah« na ravni Evropske unije. V stališčih je naša država do nekaterih delov uredb sicer zadržana, nekajkrat tudi zaskrbljena, a v glavnem jih podpira … Prav v tem trenutku je civilna družba na okopih in zahteva ustavitev postopkov in uvedbo najširše strokovne in javne razprave o tej temi ter zgledovanje po nekaterih drugih državah EU, kjer so predlagane uredbe odločno zavrnili. A kot smo začeli, tudi končajmo s prioritetami; o bistvenih vprašanjih, ki zadevajo naše bivanje, celo preživetje, nimamo pojma, zato o njih tudi ne soodločamo. Smo pa natančno poučeni o obstranskem, nepomembnem, celo bizarnem, po katerem nato merimo in vrednotimo svoja življenja.

Piedmont Triad Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin Baker shares the strategies his airport took to become a destination for aerospace companies and how he sees the GSO continuing to grow into the future.

GEO satellite has been with us since the dawn of the satellite age, and it's easy for us to take it for granted. GEO 2.0 makes its contribution to the Eternal Orbit campaign by inviting today's experts in geosynchronous orbit to discuss the future of this grandfather of satellite orbits. What's new, what's sexy and what is tried and true? Let's find out together in GEO 2.0.

The McEachern girls dominated the first half, then fought off a strong comeback by Campbell in the second to take a 50-47 victory over their longtime county rivals in the second round of the Class AAAAAAA state basketball tournament at Lovinggood Arena on Saturday. It was all McEachern in the first half as it led 30-15 at halftime, but Campbell outscored the Indians 32-20 in the second half to narrow the margin. With the win, McEachern advanced to the state quarterfinals for the 10th time in 13 years. The Indians will host Central Gwinnett in the state quarterfinals Wednesday at 6 p.m. The McEachern boys earned its seventh state quarterfinal appearance in eight years with a resounding 88-51 victory over Westlake in the second round of the Class AAAAAAA state tournament at Lovinggood Arena on Saturday. With the win, McEachern will now host county rival Wheeler in a quarterfinal showdown between the top two ranked teams in the state in the ScoreAtlanta pre-tournament Class 7 A  boys' state rankings – with the Wildcats ranked Number 1 and the Indians Number 2. That game is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. tip-off on Wednesday. The Black History Month dinner hosted by the city of Smyrna, called off multiple times in recent years because of the pandemic, convened Friday evening at the Smyrna recreation center. More than 150 people were eager to listen to the night's keynote speaker, Erica Armstrong Dunbar, author of “She Came to Slay: The Life and Times of Harriet Tubman.” Councilman Lewis Wheaton welcomed and thanked the guests for coming, reminding them that the proceeds from the evening would benefit the foundations for Griffin and Campbell middle schools, before introducing Dunbar to loud applause. Dunbar's goal was to reintroduce people to Harriet Tubman. Tubman is best known as the most famous conductor of the Underground Railroad — a network of secret routes slaves used during the 1800s to escape to freedom. Tubman would make the journey to lead people out of enslavement at least 13 times. Dunbar discussed how the Black Lives Matter movement reminds Americans of the people and names who have been and continue to be lost to violence, adding that social reform is an ongoing process. With her book, Dunbar said she was trying to tell the story of a complex woman who dedicated her life to social justice, and how her influence still inspires new generations. After the presentation, a long line formed to get books autographed by the author, particularly some young readers, who remarked that they really loved hearing about Harriet Tubman. Several hundred people ran full tilt into Lake Acworth on Saturday — some of them in costume. The brisk excursion was part of the “Polar Plunge,” an annual national fundraiser for the Special Olympics. The money will help run and sponsor athletes for the state's Special Olympics, which will be at Emory University in May. The event was jointly organized by the Special Olympics of Georgia and Law Enforcement Torch Run, a long-running campaign among law enforcement professionals who support the Special Olympics. Several local law enforcement agencies raised money and submerged officers and staff, including the Kennesaw and Acworth police departments, and the Cobb County Sheriff's Department, the latter of which won the costume contest by riding into the lake on toy horses. The water temperature inside the lake was estimated to be in the upper 50s. Matthew Wynne, a Special Olympics athlete who grew up in Alpharetta, said the cold water is part of what makes the event fun, and he wouldn't have minded if the water had been more frigid. Georgia Milton-Sheats, CEO of Special Olympics Georgia since 1999, ran into the lake alongside other Special Olympics organizers. She said almost 500 people raised money and registered for the plunge, and the event raised more than $230,000.  State Senator Ed Setzler, filed legislation this week to reimpose Republicans' county commission district map on the Cobb Board of Commissioners. Senate Bill 236 mirrors the map passed last year by the General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp, which drew Democratic Commissioner Jerica Richardson out of her seat. The proposal comes after Setzler filed a bill — SB 124 — explicitly prohibiting Georgia counties from drawing their own district lines, which the commission's Democrats have been working to do since October. If passed, the tandem bills could overrule the Democrats' “home rule” effort designed to amend the district lines and keep Richardson in office. Though Republican officials, including Attorney General Chris Carr, have said the home rule bid is unconstitutional, Richardson and her two Democratic colleagues on the Cobb Board of Commissioners maintain the effort is legal. Richardson said were the legislation to be passed, it would end her tenure on the board. East Cobb resident Larry Savage, meanwhile, challenged the constitutionality of the home rule effort in a lawsuit filed just before the new year. That lawsuit was later withdrawn, with Savage saying a follow-up suit was forthcoming. That suit, however, has yet to materialize. Savage last said he was working with a new attorney but did not respond to a request for comment this week. Andrew Young Jr., former ambassador to the United Nations, former congressman, past mayor of Atlanta and civil rights icon, will be the keynote speaker at the Georgia Symphony Orchestra's annual Celebrity Luncheon fundraiser. The event will take place March 18 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Marietta Country Club. Ambassador Young will be joined by a group of local artists, authors, musicians and business leaders. Proceeds from the event will benefit the GSO's musical performance, youth education and outreach programs. Not only are guests certain to be inspired by Ambassador Young, but they also will select to be seated at a table with one of a carefully curated collection of influential and creative area personalities to learn more about them. A specially created three-course menu will be prepared by Gary Sanderson, Marietta Country Club executive chef, and his team. The event also will provide a fantastic opportunity for guests to indulge themselves from among an array of silent and live auction goods, such as rare trinkets and tidbits, fine art and everyday splurges. On March 11, Cobb County will be well represented in the 139th Atlanta St. Patrick's Parade as it marches down Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta. Ten local groups will participate in one the largest St. Patrick's parades in the Southeast, which draws hundreds of parade watchers from around the region. The parade will begin at noon at the intersection of Peachtree Street and 15th Street and will continue down Peachtree to 5th Street, concluding at 1:30 p.m. The Cobb County Groups are: - the 116th Army Band,  Artz for the Harp, Atlanta Freedom Band, Atlanta Gaelic Athletic Association, Cosplay Volunteers of Atlanta, DREAM Dachshund Rescue, Firefighters Emerald Society of Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia Smoke Diver Association, MIB DragonCon Parade Crew and Twilight Twirlers of Marietta #CobbCounty #Marietta #LocalNews -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com              See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At approximately 8:30 p.m. on March 9, 2021, Greensboro ATCT (GSO) member Noah Walker was working the approaches into Greensboro, N.C., from the tower cab, as the positions were combined and the radar position was moved to the tower. Walker was lining up a Lifeguard aircraft to the final for Runway 14. Just before he instructed the pilot to contact the tower, he noticed lights that appeared to be another aircraft in conflict. Walker asked the tower controller if he was talking to an aircraft, but the controller confirmed he was not. Walker determined it was a drone flying near the arrival corridor for runway 14. Since the controllers could not predict the erratic behavior of this very large drone, they had no choice but to suspend operations at GSO until they could be reasonably sure the drone no longer presented a threat. Walker's actions on this night prevented a collision and ensured the safety of the users in the airspace. NATCA is proud to recognize his professionalism and skill to identify the hazard even though it did not appear on radar. It led one pilot to comment on frequency, “Thanks for looking out for us.” Walker will be honored on June 17 in New Orleans with the Archie League Medal of Safety Award for the Southern Region.

I'm excited to share my conversation with Max Frumes, co-author of The Casesar's Palace Coup (with Sujeet Indap). I'm a big fan of the book and previously shared some notes on Twitter. It's a deep dive into the buyout and bankruptcy of casino giant Caesar's Entertainment and the slugfest between investors like Apollo, Oaktree, Appaloosa, GSO, Elliott, and some of the nation's most expensive law firms. It's a great introduction into the world of distressed investing and the prevailing culture. I've written previously about how distressed credit is a “knife fight over a limited number of slices” which shapes a scarcity mindset. The book illustrates the intense negotiations and explains the “creditor on creditor violence” that can take place (a recent example is Wesco). Max and I discussed how to break down such a complex story, explored key turning points, discussed the culture among distressed investors, what makes distressed investors successful, why there was no long-term damage for Apollo, how other investors were actually inspired by their moves, and how the space has changed in general. A key takeaway for me was that the participants in this game are very smart, creative, ruthless, and extremely competitive. This is a complex and difficult game to play and one should consider very carefully whether to enter the competition. A few quotes from the conversation: “It is a very rich, fascinating industry because it is a combination of chess and poker, depending on what stage a restructuring is at.” “Each of these firms does have their own personality. We go into detail about the origins of Apollo which was the most interesting because it was defined by brilliance and impunity, willing to push the bounds to the very edge of what is what's permissible under the law, under the credit docs. And that does go back to Mike Milken's firm Drexel Burnham. That's where Leon Black was one of the senior directors at the time it went bankrupt.” “Firms who are the most successful in this industry are those who have expert knowledge and a good handle on the legal aspect, understanding valuation, and then the industry knowledge itself mixed with understanding game theory. Some people are more savvy with the press. Some people are more savvy with the orchestration of creditor or organization. Some people are more willing to be an iconoclast and go against the grain.” “Ultimately the examiners reports said they had actual and constructive fraudulent conveyance claims against and corporate governance claims … a lot of them were simply because the creditors did not have independent directors during the time these decisions … where there's conflicts of interest. It seemed like the private equity sponsor was basically controlling everything. … So the lesson wasn't, maybe we shouldn't do those things. The lesson was let's put some independent directors in there.”
