72 minuter tros det ta innan världen som vi känner den går under vid ett totalt kärnvapenkrig. Dan Jönsson reser till Hiroshima och ser hur ingenting tycks ha hänt och allt förändrats. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.AtomvårSom ett förfärligt fossil från något av framtidens naturhistoriska museer ligger den där och ruvar i all sin nakenhet: den suddiga konturen, skuggan av en mänsklig kropp. Fortfarande tydligt urskiljbar efter så många år tecknar den sin svartnade silhuett i det slitna brottstycket av den stentrappa som fram till den 6 augusti 1945 utgjorde entrén till bankkontoret i Hiroshima. På morgonen den dagen, som verkade bli varm och solig, hade någon slagit sig ner på trappan i väntan på att banken skulle öppna; någon, som när atombomben briserade klockan kvart över åtta i likhet med tiotusentals andra invånare i denna storstad helt enkelt försvann, förintades i den extrema hettan. Men skuggan blev kvar. Framtida civilisationer till varnagel och besinning.Nu ingår stenen med skuggan bland artefakterna på Fredsmuseet i Hiroshima, bland föremål som smälta klockor, sönderbrända skor, väggbitar med spåren av det svarta, radioaktiva regn som följde senare på dagen – ett museum som i sin krampaktiga saklighet kramar hjärtat ur besökaren. Plötsligt förstår jag precis vad han menar, den japanske mannen i Alain Resnais film ”Hiroshima, mon amour”, när han gång på gång förnekar att hans tillfälliga franska älskarinna skulle kunna förstå något: ”Tu n'as rien vu a Hiroshima.” Du såg ingenting i Hiroshima. Ute i parken blommar körsbärsträden; vid utgången skriver jag en rad i museets gästbok och hajar till vid något som någon har präntat dit ett litet stycke ovanför. ”If only they had surrendered earlier…” läser jag på engelska. Om de bara gett upp tidigare.Föreställningen att atombomberna över Hiroshima och Nagasaki var moraliskt försvarbara eftersom de gjorde slut på kriget och tvingade fram den japanska kapitulationen några veckor senare, hör till den västerländska historieskrivningens mest långlivade myter. Men sann, det är den inte. Bomben bör kallas för vad den var, en förbrytelse; vill man förklara den bör man förstå den som en maktdemonstration inte bara mot Japan utan kanske främst mot Sovjetunionen, vars röda armé i krigets slutskede avancerade mot de japanska öarna. Men förödelsen i Hiroshima ska också ses som det logiska slutsteget i en process som påbörjats nästan femtio år tidigare, en vetenskaplig omvälvning som redan i grunden hade skakat bilden av vår värld och vår plats i den. Människan hade dyrkat upp naturens lås, sprängt den gamla världsbilden i småbitar. Det återstod att demonstrera.Fram till dess hade naturvetenskapen varit överens om att materiens minsta beståndsdelar utgjordes av ett slags rörliga partiklar, atomer. Ordet atom användes första gången av den grekiske naturfilosofen Leukippos på 400-talet före vår tideräkning och betyder odelbar – när den moderna atomläran formulerades i början av 1800-talet var det alltså ett sätt att hävda just att vetenskapen i dessa elementarpartiklar hade identifierat en materiens orubbliga grund, en fast punkt. Den rubbades 1897, när fysikern Joseph John Thomson lyckades visa att atomen förutom sin positiva kärna också består av en mindre, negativ partikel, elektronen. Året innan hade Henri Becquerel upptäckt det som Marie Curie några år senare skulle ge namnet radioaktiv strålning, och decennierna som följde kom genombrotten slag i slag: makarna Curies utforskande av radioaktiviteten, Ernest Rutherfords kartläggning av atomens inre struktur och hans modell – som sedan utvecklades och förfinades av den danske fysikern Niels Bohr – av hur elektronerna kretsar runt kärnan som i ett litet solsystem.Människan öppnade dörren till atomåldern, och världen var förändrad. ”Upplösningen av atomen,” skrev den ryske konstnären Vassily Kandinsky 1913, ”var för min själ detsamma som upplösningen av världen. De tjockaste murar störtade med ens samman. Allt blev osäkert, instabilt, mjukt.” Det var ungefär samtidigt som Kandinsky gjorde sina första helt abstrakta bilder – och känslan av en värld i upplösning var han knappast ensam om. Kubister, futurister, rayonnister: alla försökte de på olika sätt spegla denna söndersprängda verklighet. ”Jag är en atom i universum,” skrev Hilma af Klint om sina målningar i serien ”Atom”, och i Paris uppförde dansösen Loïe Fuller sin experimentella ”Radiumdans” med fosforescerande kostymer och – enligt uppgift – Marie och Pierre Curie som förundrade åskådare.Men fascinationen för det nya och oerhörda bar redan från början på ett mörkt stråk. 1909 publicerade H G Wells sin autofiktiva roman ”Tono-Bungay” där kvacksalvaren George Ponderevo upptäcker det radioaktiva materialet ”quap”, ett ämne med en outsinlig inre energi som också med tiden drabbar dem som kommer i kontakt med det med en dödlig, lepraaktig sjukdom. Detta kärnfysikens janusansikte var alltså tidigt uppenbart för både forskare och konstnärer, liksom för den breda allmänheten. I USA inleddes mot slutet av 20-talet en rättsprocess när en grupp kvinnliga arbetare i en urfabrik, ”the radium girls”, stämde staten efter att många av dem drabbats av cancer på grund av exponering för fluorescerande radiumfärg. Bävande anade man i den nya fysiken samtidigt lösningen på många av mänsklighetens problem – och fröet till dess slutgiltiga undergång.Men någon väg tillbaka fanns inte. Modernitetens bild av den tekniska utvecklingen som ett framåtskridande till varje pris laddade atomteorin med en ödesmättad förening av utopiska löften och dödliga hot. Dadaisten Hugo Ball förkunnade hur ”elektronteorin orsakat en märklig vibration i alla ytor, linjer och former”, hur ”dimensionerna krökte sig och gränser föll”. Men det slutliga genombrottet kom först 1938 när en grupp tyska fysiker gjorde upptäckten att en urankärna kunde klyvas när den besköts med neutroner. Och hur det då frigjordes extrema mängder energi.Det återstod nu sju år till Hiroshima. Om vetenskapen fram till dess stått på tröskeln till atomåldern togs nu de sista stegen in i den – och som så ofta var det vapenindustrin som gick i bräschen. Redan i januari 1939 tog USA:s president Roosevelt emot en rapport som visade hur man med en nukleär kedjereaktion skulle kunna producera en förödande bomb; samma teknik kunde också användas för att producera fredlig elektricitet, men med det krig som snart bröt ut kom andra prioriteringar. Från nyåret 1943 sysselsatte det så kallade Manhattanprojektet mer än hundratusen personer runt om i USA och efter två och ett halvt år, i juli 1945, gjordes den första provsprängningen. Bara tre veckor kvar: vid tvåtiden på morgonen den 6 augusti lyfte bombplanet Enola Gay från sin bas på ön Tinian i Marianerna. Vid spakarna satt piloten Paul Tibbets och i lastutrymmet fanns en fyra ton tung bomb som kärleksfullt fått namnet Little Boy. Knappt sju timmar senare nådde den sitt mål. Framtidens portar hade sprängts. Och ljuset flödade. AtomsommarDet sägs att det första som sker när en atombomb exploderar är att allt blir vitt. Berättelserna från dem som överlevde och kan berätta är fyllda av en vantrogen bävan, en övertygelse om att ha varit med om något som är omöjligt att beskriva. Ändå måste man försöka. Hisashi Tohara var arton år och satt just på ett tåg i väntan på att det skulle lämna perrongen. Dagen var en måndag, skriver han. Höstterminen hade precis börjat. Eleverna i hans gymnasieklass var mobiliserade vid ett stålverk, men den här dagen hade strömmen slagits ut och arbetarna fått ledigt. Pendeltåget in till centrum skulle alldeles strax gå när plötsligt allt flammade upp i ett bländande ljus – ögonblicket efter var det som om jorden skakade i sina grundvalar och hans nacke blixtrade till av en ohygglig smärta.Hisashi Tohara ägnar nästan en sida åt att försöka ge en föreställning om detta oerhörda ljus. Det var, förklarar han, ett ljus som aldrig slutade att strömma ut: ”oräkneliga partiklar av ljus” – ”bländande, gyllene med röda reflexer” – ”mikroskopiska, finare än ett damm av ljus” – ”en stormflod av ljus som översvämmade världen” – ”himmel och jord flöt i ett rött, gult, gyllene skimmer där man urskilde myriader av partiklar, än mer strålande. Under två eller tre sekunder kanske? Men det tycks mig” – minns han – ”som det varade betydligt längre. Och ändå inte mer än ett ögonblick.”Ögonvittnesskildringarna från Hiroshima har alla det gemensamt att de står mer eller mindre vanmäktiga inför den intensiva intighet som bomben utlöser. Hisashi Toharas minnesbilder är nedtecknade ett år efter bomben, därefter skrev han aldrig något mer. Enligt hans hustru var det heller ingenting han någonsin talade om; först efter hans död 2011 hittade hon berättelsen i en byrålåda. Som hos så många andra som överlevt liknande katastrofer genomsyras den inte bara av försöken att ge konkret gestalt åt det obeskrivliga, utan också av en dov, irrationell skam över att vara den som skonades. De sargade, sönderbrända, fastklämda, drunknande offer som kantar flyktvägen ut ur den förstörda staden hemsöker hans minnen som en kör av tysta, anklagande spöken.Samma dunkla upplevelse av hur skulden på något obevekligt vis faller på de oskyldiga offrens axlar går också som en sugande underström genom den främsta litterära skildringen av katastrofen i Hiroshima: Masuji Ibuses dokumentära kollektivroman ”Kuroi ame” – Svart regn. Ibuse var redan före kriget en av Japans mest uppburna författare, och ”Svart regn” blev bland det sista han skrev. Boken utgavs först 1969 och bygger på ett stort antal vittnesmål som fogats samman till en lågmäld, kollektiv berättelse. Titeln, ”Svart regn”, syftar på det våldsamma skyfall som bröt ut några timmar efter explosionen och som många av de brännskadade offren hälsade med jubel – utan att veta, förstås, att vattnet var radioaktivt och att de som drack det gick en säker död till mötes.Detta historiska markperspektiv är det fina med Ibuses roman. Ingen vet ju riktigt vad som hänt. Men att det är något exceptionellt blir uppenbart redan under de första veckor efter bomben när berättelsen utspelar sig. Ogräsen skjuter fart och blir monsterhöga, mystiska utslag visar sig på de överlevandes kroppar och leder snabbt till döden. Inga förklaringar ges, allt framstår som en obarmhärtig prövning. Frågan är, å andra sidan, om någon alls skulle bli lugnad av att veta vad sådana fenomen beror på, vad som faktiskt sker i en kropp som smittas av akut strålsjuka. Hur vävnaderna i de inre organen faller sönder, hur blodkärlens väggar drabbas av nekros, hur blodet slutar producera antikroppar och immunförsvaret upphör att fungera. Hur vatten tränger ut under huden där det bildar stora blåsor som brister, hur syrebristen i blodet orsakar så kallad cyanos, ett slags lilafärgade utslag som spricker upp och blöder. Hur bakterier från inälvorna tar sig ut och infekterar blodet och leder till akut sepsis.Som sagt, jag vet inte om det gör katastrofen mer begriplig. Men allt detta vet vi idag. Det är helt enkelt några av de nya kunskaper atomåldern fört med sig. Dessutom: med bomben föddes insikter som också utlöste en helt ny etisk diskussion. Den tyske filosofen Günther Anders, som besökte Hiroshima och Nagasaki i slutet av femtiotalet, beskrev det som att det som drabbat dessa båda städer var den första konkreta erfarenheten av hur kärntekniken och dess konsekvenser från och med nu förenar hela mänskligheten i en kuslig ödesgemenskap. Historiefilosofiskt, skriver han, är dessa vapensystem inte längre ett medium utan själva scenen där historien utspelar sig.Efter hemkomsten från Japan tar Anders kontakt med Hiroshimapiloten Claude Eatherly, som vid den här tiden sitter intagen på ett mentalsjukhus för sina samvetsbetänkligheter. Deras korrespondens, som sträcker sig över nästan två år, utkommer så småningom under titeln ”Samvete förbjudet” – och i ett av dessa publicerade brev minns Eatherly hur han på morgonen den 6 augusti slås av den förfärande insikten om vad som är på väg att ske. Han sitter själv inte i bombplanet, utan flyger i förväg för att rekognoscera målet: en järnvägsbro i utkanten av staden. Han ser den tydligt genom de lätta cumulusmolnen. I samma ögonblick som han ger klartecken glider molnen bort, bomben riktas fel och han inser att den nu kommer att träffa stadens centrum.Claude Eatherly kommer så länge han lever aldrig att bli fri från det han varit med om. Samma sak gäller förstås de tusentals överlevande, på japanska hibakusha, som likt offren för de nazistiska förintelselägren bär sitt ofattbara trauma i tysthet mitt i en till synes likgiltig omvärld. Vad är det för mening att berätta? Hur beskriver man det obeskrivliga? Hur förklara skuldkänslorna hos den som överlevt? ”Du såg ingenting i Hiroshima”, som det heter i Marguerite Duras manuskript till Alain Resnais ”Hiroshima, min älskade”. Nej – men på stadens Fredsmuseum finns några konkreta kvarlevor: en bit vägg med långa strimmor av det svarta, radioaktiva regnet, trappstenen med skuggan efter någon som satt och väntade på att banken skulle öppna. Men också mängder med teckningar, utförda av hibakusha under åren efter bomben; bilder som började dyka upp i offentligheten på sjuttiotalet och sedan vuxit till en egen genre av vittnesmål. Enkla, expressiva försök att skildra förödelsen, paniken, massdöden. Mänskliga spöken med håret på ända, kläderna i trasor och skinnslamsor hängande från kroppen. Floden som svämmar över av lik. Vanmäktiga bilder av de första sekundernas intensiva ljus.Barnen som överlevde, skriver Hisashi Tohara, kom att kalla bomben för ”pikadon”: av orden för ”ljus” och ”dån”. Det ljuset, och det dånet, är det som lyser upp och genljuder genom decennierna som följer. Med skuggorna av hundratusen döda. Atomhöst”Din första tanke när du vaknar skall vara 'atom'.” Så inleder Günther Anders sina Atomålderns bud, publicerade i dagstidningen Frankfurter Allgemeine 1957. Den tyske filosofen och författaren hade då sedan ett decennium ägnat sig åt att försöka greppa den moraliska vidden av atombomberna mot Hiroshima och Nagasaki – och kommit till slutsatsen att bombens själva existens i grunden hade förändrat mänskligheten som kollektiv. Som han uttryckte det i sin brevväxling med den olycklige Hiroshimapiloten Claude Eatherly något år senare hade hotet om planetens totala förintelse fört oss alla samman i en ofrivillig ödesgemenskap av ”oskyldigt skyldiga”. Eatherly, med sina förtärande självförebråelser – som till slut drev honom så långt att han upprepade gånger begick våldsbrott och bankrån, bara för att bevisa sig skyldig till något, och slippa ifrån sin roll som krigshjälte – framstod för Anders som en förebild i denna universella olycksgemenskap. Ett offer för bomben, han också.Om någon tycker det här påminner om hur man idag tänker kring klimatförändringarna, ligger det mycket i det. Men detta första decennium efter bomben var det inte många i västvärlden som delade Anders tankar. När han och Eatherly brevväxlade satt piloten inspärrad på ett militärt mentalsjukhus med sina skuldkänslor. I femtiotalets USA fanns ingen plats för sådana som han. Det skulle så småningom förändras – men trots att bilderna och vittnesmålen från Hiroshima nått den amerikanska allmänheten redan 1946, i John Herseys berömda reportage, fick de väldigt liten effekt i offentligheten. Här dominerade den officiella historieskrivningen där det som skett i Hiroshima och Nagasaki var ett nödvändigt ont, närmast framtvingat för att äntligen få den japanska krigsmakten att kapitulera. Den berättelsen gäller till stor del än idag, trots att den faktiskt inte har mycket fog för sig. Som historikern Tsuyoshi Hasegawa kunde visa redan 2005 var Japans kapitulation bara en tidsfråga; det som fick USA att detonera bomberna var att Sovjetunionen efter Tysklands kapitulation fått händerna fria i Fjärran Östern. I en stormoffensiv hade Röda armén ockuperat Manchuriet och var på väg mot Japan över öarna i norr. Vad det handlade om för USA:s del var att inte Sovjet skulle hinna först.Atombombsåldern kom alltså att inledas i en stämning av förnekelse och förträngning. Medan efterkrigstidens optimistiska konsumtionssamhälle tog form började en vanvettig atomkapprustning. Från de första bomberna hade den amerikanska atombombsarsenalen vuxit till 170 stycken 1949, när Sovjetunionen gjorde sitt första kärnvapenprov, och åren som följde gick det slag i slag. 1952 testsprängde USA sin första termonukleära vätebomb, stark som tusen Hiroshimabomber, och redan i mitten av decenniet hade de båda kärnvapenmakterna bomber nog för att med marginal spränga hela den mänskliga civilisationen till grus. Detta samtidigt som politikerna drömde om en framtida teknokratisk utopi flödande av billig energi, där bilarna drevs av små kärnreaktorer. Skulle kriget ändå råka bryta ut fick skolbarnen lära sig att krypa ner under bänkarna, och speciella dräkter tillverkades för att skydda mot strålningen.Under tiden drogs ritningarna upp för den oundvikliga förintelsen. 2008 berättade den pensionerade amerikanske försvarstjänstemannen John Rubel hur han i december 1960 suttit med under ett hemligt möte där ett par höga officerare lade fram de detaljerade planerna för en så kallad förebyggande kärnvapenattack mot Sovjetunionen. Som Rubel mindes det skulle angreppet enligt ingenjörernas beräkningar leda till döden för cirka sexhundra miljoner människor. Rubel erkände att han själv i stunden saknat civilkurage för att protestera, och jämförde med den nazistiska Wannseekonferensen där planerna för den slutliga, industriella lösningen av judefrågan tog form. ”Jag kände,” skrev han, ”att det jag bevittnade var ett liknande nedstigande i mörkrets hjärta, en grumlig underjordisk värld som styrdes av ett disciplinerat, noggrant och livaktigt men hjärndött grupptänkande med syfte att utrota hälften av människorna som levde på nästan en tredjedel av jordytan.”I Japan däremot var de postnukleära stämningarna annorlunda – av naturliga skäl. Trots att det under hela femtiotalet rådde ett offentligt tabu mot att diskutera katastrofen och dess följder är det ingen överdrift att säga att hela den japanska konsten och litteraturen under efterkrigstiden utvecklades i skuggan av Hiroshima och Nagasaki. Bomberna och den amerikanska ockupationen sände chockvågor genom den japanska kulturen och födde experimentella konströrelser som den minimalistiska arte poveragruppen Mono-ha, eller den betydligt våldsammare Gutai, vars medlemmar besköt sina målardukar med kanon: bägge strömningar som i sin tur också gjorde djupa intryck på yngre konstnärer som Yoko Ono, Tetsumi Kudo och Yayoi Kusama. Nobelpristagaren Kenzaburo Oe gav 1965 ut sina Anteckningar från Hiroshima, en samling personliga reportage där de överlevande, som efter tjugo år fortfarande lever i skräck för blodcancer och andra efterverkningar, lyfts upp till en sorts nationella, moraliska förebilder: ”Bara genom liv som deras,” skriver Oe, ”kan människor framträda med värdighet i vårt samhälle.”Och med tiden växte protesterna i styrka även i västvärlden. Precis som man likt Theodor Adorno kunde se det som ”barbariskt” att skriva poesi efter Auschwitz kunde man som Günther Anders spekulera i vad det betydde att bedriva filosofi efter Hiroshima. Hans kollega Hannah Arendt delade synen på bomben som en mänsklighetens vändpunkt – men för henne stod den framför allt för en förlust av politiskt handlingsutrymme, där teknologins råa styrka tog förnuftets plats. Man frestas citera president Trumans tillkännagivande den 6 augusti 1945, där han proklamerar Hiroshimabomben som ”den organiserade vetenskapens största historiska bragd”. Som Arendt uttrycker det i Människans villkor har denna etiskt förblindade vetenskap trätt ut i offentligheten som en av ”de mäktigaste, maktgenererande grupperingar historien skådat.”Atomålderns etik måste med andra ord ta formen av en civilisationskritik. Mot slutet av sextiotalet uppgick antalet atombomber i världen till över 30 000 – men då var också motståndet i full kraft. Ett motstånd som inte bara riktades mot kärnvapenrustningen utan också mot den fredliga atomkraften och hela den teknokratiska kultur som gjort det möjligt att spela med så fruktansvärda insatser. Att en olycka vid ett kärnkraftverk kan få precis samma förödande effekter som en bomb har världen sedan dess tvingats till insikt om, gång på gång: i Harrisburg, Tjernobyl, Fukushima. Namnen hemsöker vår tid, som skuggan av en mardröm. Den där tanken som man nuddar när man vaknar. Och som sedan försvinner. AtomvinterEtt minne från när det kalla kriget var som kallast, början på åttiotalet: jag sitter hemma i soffan i föräldrahemmet och ser på teven där USA:s president Reagan flinande avslöjar att en kärnvapenattack mot Sovjetunionen kommer att starta om fem minuter. Ett skämt, tydligen. Mitt minne av händelsen är lite oklart: eftersom ”skämtet” gjordes inför en radiosändning borde ljudupptagningen ha spelats upp till stillbilder, jag vet inte – men det jag tydligt minns är hur det medan skratten klingar ut i teven ändå hinner gå ett frostigt spöke genom vardagsrummet. Hur mina föräldrar liksom fryser till i tevesoffan och hur vi sedan också skrattar, lättade – och lite chockade: det var nära ögat. Om det är något vi har förstått på sista tiden är det ju hur nära det faktiskt verkar vara. Atomklockan, som den kallas, har länge stått på bara någon minut i tolv.Världen, kanske särskilt Europa, gick i detta tidiga åttiotal nästan bara och väntade på den stora smällen. Om vi idag förskräcks av de klimatförändringar som utsläppen av växthusgaser är på väg att leda till så är de trots allt ingenting emot det som skulle bli följden om ett fullskaligt kärnvapenkrig bröt ut. Inte som en effekt av själva explosionerna – men allt stoft de rörde upp, alla bränder de orsakade skulle lägga sig som ett lock på atmosfären i flera års tid och sänka temperaturen på jordytan till katastrofala nivåer. Fenomenet gick under begreppet atomvinter: ett ord som de här åren låg som ett kylelement under den dystopiska tidsandan med dess undergångsfantasier och nihilistiska yuppieideal. Med dess apolitiska alienering, och en popkultur som manglade ut sin svarta depprock och sina frostiga syntslingor över en ekande posthistorisk avgrund.Men den hotande atomvintern gav också näring åt en växande proteströrelse. Civilisationskritiken, som under sextio- och sjuttiotalen blivit ett allt tyngre inslag i kärnvapenmotståndet förenades på åttiotalet med feministiska, postkoloniala och antikapitalistiska strömningar i en gränsöverskridande skepsis mot den tekniska utvecklingen som filosofen och antikärnvapenveteranen Günther Anders såg som ett senkommet historiskt genombrott när han i början av åttiotalet samlade sina reflexioner i de här frågorna i boken Hiroshima ist überall, Hiroshima är överallt. I England tog ett feministiskt fredsläger form i protest mot utplaceringen av kärnvapen vid armébasen i Greenham Common. I Australien protesterade urbefolkningen mot uranbrytningen på traditionell aboriginsk mark, i New Mexico i USA krävde Navajofolket kompensation för kärnvapenprovens radioaktiva kontaminering. Och i Oceaniens övärld växte rörelsen för ”ett kärnvapenfritt Stilla Havet”, som en reaktion på de franska och amerikanska provsprängningar som gjort många öar obeboeliga. För dem som tvingats bort från sina hem var stormakternas så kallade ”nukleära kolonialism” bara ännu en form av cyniskt imperialistiskt våld.Denna världsomspännande folkrörelse såg för en kort tid ut att faktiskt stå inför ett globalt genombrott. I juni 1982 samlade en demonstration i New York en miljon deltagare i protest mot kärnvapenrustningen; några veckor tidigare hade bortåt hundratusen människor tågat genom Göteborg under samma paroller. Jag var själv en av dem. Liknande fredsmarscher ägde rum över hela den europeiska kontinenten. Vad vi kanske inte riktigt förstod, tror jag – hur vi nu skulle kunnat göra det, där vi vällde fram, mitt i alltihop – var hur snärjda vi alla redan var i den nukleära terrorbalansens världsordning. För om nu ”Hiroshima är överallt”, som Günther Anders skrev – måste det då inte betyda att också protesterna blir en del av systemet: en balanserande motvikt som invaggar oss i tron att den nukleärteknologiska utvecklingen trots allt ska gå att tämja och hantera? Sedda från dagens tidsavstånd kan de ju faktiskt se så ut, som en avledande, kringgående rörelse, en historiens list som tillfälligt öppnade en politisk ventil och lät oron pysa ut, utan att i grunden ändra något överhuvudtaget. Allt medan utvecklingen gick vidare i sina obevekliga spår.Nej, jag vet inte. Men kanske var det en sådan insikt som landade i världens medvetande i april 1986, med haveriet i Tjernobyl. Plötsligt visade det sig mycket konkret – om man nu inte redan hade förstått det – att Hiroshima verkligen var överallt: i luften, i vattnet, i maten vi äter. Helt oberoende av nationsgränser och politiska system. Sociologen Ulrich Beck skrev i sin uppmärksammade bok Risksamhället hur händelser som just den i Tjernobyl tvingar hela samhället att orientera sig efter potentiella risker, försöka förutse och förebygga – och inte minst: uppfostra sina medborgare i riskmedvetenhet, eller uttryckt på ett annat sätt, i oro. Vi får i förlängningen ett samhälle där rädslan är det som binder samman, ett samhälle vars främsta uppgift blir att vidmakthålla en bedräglig illusion om säkerhet.I detta risksamhälle måste till slut också kärnteknologin banaliseras och kläs i termer av säkerhet. Det talas om kärnvapnen som ett skyddande ”paraply”, om kärnenergin som en trygghet i en osäker och föränderlig omvärld. Hiroshima känns mycket avlägset. Att besöka staden idag ger upphov till en märklig svindelkänsla: åttio år efter bomben sjuder staden av liv som vilken modern metropol som helst, de hypersnabba shinkansentågen anländer och avgår på sekunden på den centrala järnvägsterminalen, nästan som om inget hänt. Men det har det. Det har det, verkligen – under ytan ömmar fortfarande traumat, men med sin ärrvävnad av monument och museala artefakter, all denna rekvisita i en minneskultur som hoppas läka det som inte går att läka.Kanske är det det han menar, den japanske mannen i Alain Resnais film Hiroshima, min älskade, när han säger till sin franska älskarinna att hon aldrig har sett något i Hiroshima. För det som skett går inte att se. Med varje gest som återkallar minnet följer en som hjälper till att utplåna det. I filmen är den franska kvinnan själv på flykt undan ett krigstrauma: hennes första kärlek var en tysk ockupationssoldat – och minnet av hur hon blev vittne till hans död för en anonym kula från en motståndsman är, förstår man, det hon nu på ett bakvänt sätt försöker bearbeta genom att vara med och spela in en ”fredsfilm” (som det kallas) i Hiroshima.Men traumat, visar det sig, går inte att förtränga. Det finns kvar. Precis som atomvintern finns kvar – som en iskall, omedveten rysning under kärnvapenparaplyet. Spöket från Hiroshima, skuggan av den okände som satt och väntade på bankens trappa just när bomben föll, har vuxit till ett skymningsdunkel som vi mer eller mindre tycks ha vant oss vid. Om det totala atomkriget bryter ut skulle det, enligt en vanlig uppgift, ta sjuttiotvå minuter innan det mesta av vår civilisation är ödelagd. En dryg timme.

Today, an episode where I walk with my guest along the paths of Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. We explore how photography, adventure, and purpose can align to become one path. Photographer Tom Warburton retired early and, rather than settle into a slower pace, decided to walk the length of the River Ganges, over 1,100 kilometres from the glacier source in the Himalayas to its confluence with the Yamuna near Prayagraj. It was a journey fuelled by curiosity, a love of walking, a desire to see life away from the main roads, and to photograph people and culture with care and respect. Tom had long held an interest in photography, but like many, life's other responsibilities often came first. So with time finally on his side, he went in search of something deeper, not just images, but understanding. The result? A slow, human journey through rural villages, pilgrimage sites, nature reserves, and towns where he was often the only outsider for miles. In today's episode, we walk and talk about what it means to truly travel with intention, to go off the beaten path, to connect with strangers, and to find portraits in moments where trust is built, not taken. This is a story of walking for photography, walking for perspective, and walking, quite simply, for the love of the road. As the walk draws to a close, Tom arrives in Prayagraj just as the Maha Kumbh Mela begins, a once-in-144-years gathering of extraordinary scale and spirit. On the biggest days, over 40 million people converge: sadhus, pilgrims, Naga ascetics, all drawn to the sacred waters where the Ganges and Yamuna meet. And there's Tom, camera in hand, somehow slipping through the crowds and into the press areas, ready to capture it all. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.

The Greenham Common Women's Peace Encampment was an anti-nuke encampment outside of a US military base in England, that women (and loads of lesbians) occupied from 1981 all the way through 2000. Fed up with male-on-male violence, and society's expectations on women, Sue Say joined the protest in its very beginnings as an 18-year-old. There, every day was exciting, for better or for worse. Greenham women were evicted from their camps and terrorized by police every morning, they rebuilt every day, and by the end of the night found new creative ways to peacefully disrupt the military base next to them. Sue talks all about living in an anarchist society, overcoming her fear of arrest, and Greenham's 80/20 breakdown of lesbians to non-lesbians. You'll also get some additional insights from another Greenham woman, Oak Chezar, who lived at Greenham from 1985-1988.  Thank you for listening to Cruising Podcast! -Reviews help other listeners find Cruising!

This week, Eleanor has finally sufficiently recovered from her really horrid flu to not only speak audibly, but also whisk us all the way across to the 'Royal County' of Berkshire!We start by discussing the Boar's Head Feast, Sow Day, and St Adelaide's Day traditions, with St Adelaide having not only dug her own way out of jail but also single-handedly led the Holy Roman Empire, and become a warrior nun! After that, it's time to get properly back to business, and dig into the history and folklore of Berkshire.We chew over a load of fascinating stuff, including Piers Gaveston's astonishingly daft methods for upsetting the nation's lords from his base at Wallingford Castle, the significance of Greenham Common in the English cultural consciousness, Berkshire's 'Swan Upping' traditions, and plenty else, all before Eleanor reveals some tasty options for this week's County Dishes, including the largely forgotten Reading delicacy, Cock's Sauce...On the folklore front, interspersed with some excerpts from next Saturday's Local Legends interview with storyteller and author David England, we talk about the nigh-on psychopathic dating habits of Lady Frances Hendrick of Calcot Park, a mouse-loving ghost who's stuck in a pond, the methods Kintbury's local wizard might recommend for removing a church bell from the river Kennet, and much more besides.Then it's on to the main event: Eleanor's story about Newbury's industrious 16th century folk hero "Moneymaker Jack."We really hope you enjoy it, apologies for the delay, and we will both be back on Thursday with our first new Magic and Medicines bonus episode from the new series, all about the Zodiac, ahead of Saturday's full Local Legends chat with David!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Motherhood was once at the centre of the feminist movement's demands, from campaigns for reproductive rights to the mobilisation of anti-nuclear mums at Greenham Common. But in the 21st century, the politicisation of mothering seems to have shrunk in its ambition. In her new book Mother State: A Political History of Motherhood, literary scholar and […]

Documentary adventures that invite a closer listen.Infamous during the Greenham Common protests of the 1980s for the recklessness of her activism and her multiple prison sentences (as heard in Lights Out: Greenham Convictions), Lyn Barlow now lives quietly in Somerset. She spends her time making textile art, huge tapestries that document the turbulence of her childhood in care and the struggles of her adulthood - both with the State and herself. Now that her work is on display in Watchet's East Quay gallery, in an exhibition shared with Grayson Perry called Common Thread, Lyn reflects on the textures, the threads and the imagery of her life.Produced by Alan Hall (with music by Alabaster DePlume, licensed courtesy of Domino Publishing Company Limited.)

On this weeks episode we dive into deep waters, from the mysterious abyss of our oceans to the dark corners of high finance and even the sinister secrets of the world's powerful elites. First, submerge with us into the enigmatic ocean depths, as we discuss the lost submarine on a peculiar Titanic expedition, intriguing sounds echoing from the underwater world every half hour, and the captivating possibility of aquatic extraterrestrials. Next, we resurface into the complex world of politics and economics, discussing a shocking $6.2 billion Pentagon accounting 'error' benefitting Ukraine, and exposing a candid conversation of a BlackRock recruiter that confirms our worst suspicions. From there, we delve into a grim criminal case: the sentencing of a CNN producer for child sex crimes and the disconcerting links to Ghislaine Maxwell. The trail of darkness doesn't end there - if you're game to stick around, we're ready to delve into a thought-provoking discussion on potential global blackmail, secret military bases, and mind control. So before we set sail on this daunting voyage, hit that subscribe button, and then, if you're a regular listener, help us by leaving a five-star review. Buckle up for a journey that could take us to the brink of what we know and understand about our world - who knows where we'll end up?   All Links: https://linktr.ee/theaustinjadams Merch: https://antielite.club Substack: https://austinadams.substack.com ----more---- Full Transcription:   The Adams archive.  Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today on this week's episode. Second episode, we are going to be going into the deep, dark depths, not just of the ocean, discussing the recently lost. Submarine that was down for some reason, looking at the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean. So we will discuss that. We are also going to discuss the weird noises that they're hearing every 30 minutes coming from the depths of the ocean when they've been on this hunt. As well as my, uh, hopeful, uh, dream that this ends in us figuring out that we have had undersea aliens this entire time that rescue this mission. So we'll talk about that and then we're gonna jump into some other topics, including, uh, the Pentagon announcing that there was an accounting error providing an extra 6.2 billion to Ukraine. That is quite an accounting error and I betcha nobody lost their job cuz they did exactly what they were supposed to do. Then speaking of large finances, a BlackRock employee. Came out and well didn't come out. He was, uh, thinking he was on the date with somebody from O'Keefe Media, the former head of Project Veritas, uh, started O'Keefe Media Group and caught somebody from BlackRock, a BlackRock recruiter saying everything that we already knew, but just from the perspective of an employee there. So we'll discuss that. Then we will get into the depths of the conversation where we're going to talk about the CNN producer who was sentenced to 19 years in prison for child sex crimes. Then we'll get into his relationship or his wife's relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell as there's some photos that we will discuss surrounding that. And then if we're feeling frisky and you stick with me the whole time, we might just talk about the blackmail that is running the world underground military bases. Alice in Wonderland, trauma-based mind control programming and the mind control running our world. I came across an interesting Reddit thread that led me down some rabbit holes that we will explore together if you stick around. So first thing I need you to do is head over to the.

Now as you're doing this, I'll, I'll go, I'll give you three seconds to pull it up. One, two. Three. You got it up. I know you do hit the five stars. It takes two seconds. Two seconds. And we've already been talking about this for seven seconds and I would've been done had you just done it already. So go ahead and hit that button, leave a five star review, and if you would like, please write something that is the only thing I ask of you at this moment. Subscribe. Leave a five star review. All right. I would appreciate it. From the bottom of my beautifully large heart. All right,  today's podcast, we're going deep. Let's jump into it.    The Adams archive.  All right, let's get right into it. If you have not heard yet, which you probably have because everybody's talking about it, there was a group of, well, one, I believe it was Iranian or Israeli billionaire, as well as some other crazy ass people who decided to put their life on the line to go look at a screen in the submarine to take a look at the Titanic. These people must really love Leonardo DiCaprio because it cost around $250,000 just to go on this excursion. Pretty wild that this many people at one time would actually go and do that. Um, so I am reading this article from Real News, no Bullshit, which just came up with a bullshit. Uh, Pop up saying that I'm not subscribed, which I am. So hold on one second while I go ahead and click that beautiful button. All right, there we go. Now this article says, US Coast Guard leads urgent search for Titanic viewing submarine. It goes on to say, A rescue operation led by the US Coast Guard with Canadian support began on Monday in the Atlantic Ocean to find a submersible vessel used for Titanic exploration, which was reported missing on Sunday evening south of St. John's, new Finland, interesting Open gate expeditions. The company that owns the Submersible Con, uh, confirmed the search for its five person vessel and expressed concerns for the crew and their families. Wow. Keeps wanting me to sign in, even though I'm already signed in. Come on real news. Um, let me just give you my breakdown while this is pulling up. So basically, these four crazy ass dudes went down with this other crazy ass dude who owns a submarine, and he takes people down to go see the Titanic. Now, when you think of a, when you think of a submarine, usually you think of this big, beautiful thing with like a, you know, a little tube coming out the top of it, and sonar and all this wild other shit. This doesn't have that. This looks like a tin can wrapped in duct tape. And by the way, the way that he controls this thing is with a PlayStation and controller, a literal Bluetooth PlayStation controller. And also the only thing that these four guys can actually see is TV screens. They're sitting in this like seven by four box together with four other people looking at TV screens. They can't even actually see the Titanic. There's like a, a heat, um, camera and like IR camera that they can actually see the Titanic with out of a screen. They don't actually get to go view it themselves. They sit there with a remote control. You could have taken a drone, just get a drone for 250 grand. You probably could have bought seven of them. What the hell are you doing? Putting yourself in danger this way. These guys look stoked though. Um, so this article's backed up and it's gone. So let's find another one. Um, we'll just move on from real news cuz that's, uh, making me irritated. All right, so it says it was a suicide mission, said the German adventurer recalling his past experience aboard the Titanic, exploring submersible now lost at sea. So this is somebody else that came out and talked about this and this man says, And this is coming from the post-millennial. It starts off by saying, while an international effort is underway to rescue those on board, the Titanic exploring submersible that has been lost at sea, a German adventurer who once went on the same exploration called the voyage a suicide mission as officials raced against time before the vessel loses its oxygen supply, Arthur Lobel told the German outlet build that. He went on the voyage in August of 2021 and immediately noticed a flu, a slew of concerning red flags. And here's a little bit from Fox News. What could possibly have happened? Uh, uh, worst, worst situation is, you know, something happened to the hull. And, uh, and our fear is, is it, you know, it imploded at around 3,200 meters. And is there anything that the US Navy can do right now? No. No. I mean, I. I don't see anything that can happen at this point. I mean, I'm trying to be, you know, somewhat cautious and, you know, don't want to basically be the naysayer of what's going on. But I, when you're talking 6,000 pounds per square wrench, it is a dangerous environment. More people have been to outer space than to this depth of the ocean. And when you're diving in these situations, you have to, you have to cross your, cross, your t's, dot your i's, you have to do everything absolutely perfect and by the book. And, you know, throw in a bunch of tourists in a new sub that, you know, was just created over the last several years. Um, it, it's not looking good, Jesse. Alright, well thanks for joining us in this, uh, tender time and we're gonna be praying for everybody on that sub. Thanks. Wow. That's a shocking thing to say that more people have been to outer space than have been to the same depths of the ocean as they took this tin can with a PlayStation controller. Imagine paying $250,000 just to go to your own death. Now, there was far more pressing things that went on this week, including Hunter Biden essentially getting off, uh, during a, um, hearing where he pled guilty to two charges, um, for tax evasion among several other things like I posted about. Um, so this is not to take away from those things, but this is what everybody's talking about. So here we are for very, very rich people are sitting very, very deep under the ocean. Now, again, that's not to take away from the fact that this is tragic and horrible, um, cause I can't imagine the, the, the amount of stress and anxiety and the, the, you know, if, if they're alive right now. Um, currently as we're having this discussion and conversation, they're running out of air. So, terrible, terrible. But this goes on to say, The that, uh, he was recalling his experience on board the Titans submersible that tours the famous Titanic wreckage, 12,000 feet below sea level. It was a suicide mission. He exclaimed the first submarine, didn't work, then a dive at 1600 meters had to be abandoned. Lobel told the outlet that he went on the underwater expedition with two passengers that are currently trapped aboard this missing vessel French Titanic expert Paul Harvey n Gillette 73, and Ocean Gate CEO Stockton Rush 61. The two men are trapped with three other passengers in this vessel, which authorities believe to be located around 350 miles off the coast of Canada, excuse me. And it says, while the vessel was about to launch mobile explained that the submersible had a series of electrical issues, which resulted in a five hour delay. In addition to those issues, the entrepreneur who paid $110,000 for his ticket said that the bracket of the stabilization tube had to be reattached with zip ties. The stabilization tube balances the submarine according to the outlet. You need strong nerves. You mustn't be claustrophobic and you have to be able to sit cross-legged for 10 hours. He said, of his experience, it must be held down there. There's about 2.5 meters of space. It's four degrees. There's no chair and no toilet. Those aboard. The Titans submersible, which has been missing since Sunday, include a British billionaire, Harnish Harding, Pakistani businessman should zdi de wood and his 19 year old son and the two passengers previously mentioned. As of Tuesday afternoon, the submersible has around 41 hours of oxygen supply left and it is now Wednesday. Uh, they're looking at maybe 16 hours or so. Um, depending on how good you are in math. So, um, this also says that, uh, another article, and this one coming from The Daily Wire says that authorities don't know what's causing underwater banging. As experts rush to determine if sound comes from these Titanic sub, the US Coast Guard is still trying to determine if the underwater noises picked up by sonar planes. Tuesday came from the missing Titanic submersible. The search and rescue teams detected banging sounds in 30 minute intervals near where the five passengers aboard the Titanic sub went missing. During a Wednesday afternoon press conference, coast Guard Captain Jamie Fredericks said that the team of experts is listening to recordings of the baning sounds picking up by search and rescue teams, but added we don't know what they are. To be frank with you at the news conference, Carl Hartsford of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute said it's possible for underwater animals to make noises that sound like they came from humans. A Canadian airplane picked up the underwater noises on Tuesday, resulting in the search team focusing their operation on the area where the sounds came from. According to Frederick, there are five surface assets and two remotely operated vehicles searching for the submersible to Titan. Five more assets are respected to join the search in the next two days. The Coast Guard captain said that the search operation was still a 100% search and rescue mission added, that we need to have hope. According to the Coast Guard estimates, the five passengers reported the Titan have less than 24 hours of oxygen. Remaining. Rescue teams initially were searching an area roughly the size of Connecticut after the vessel went missing. In the last ditch effort, he came, uh, began Wednesday involving heavy machinery and submarines that involved the new Funland on Tuesday night. Now, according to, uh, according to, who is it, what is the fella I'm thinking of? Um, lemme see. I forget who had mentioned this. Let's see. All right. Yeah, that's who it was. It was according to Dan Crenshaw, the, the US Coast Guard has a very, very able bodied sub, uh, submarine that they could send down there with plenty more capabilities than they're willing to, and they decided not to. So that's unfortunate for these people. Um, but you know, like I talked about, I I, the underwater banging is, is, is interesting here. Now, obviously, it's probably most likely not the submarine, and it's probably something else potentially, as that person pointed out, sea creatures. But what I like to think is gonna end up as the result of this is, you know, how, how many times have we seen that aliens or U f O aircraft drop underneath the water surface? So maybe just maybe. You know, let's call back, go back to Project Bluebeam and say maybe our underwater friends that are dropping down from the sky are going to pick up this submarine and drop it just politely back onto the White House lawn and greet us and then have a hologram in the sky and then, you know, start their takeover. So maybe this is the intro to that. Probably not. Uh, anyways, let's move on. The Pentagon announced a accounting error, which provided an extra $6.2 billion for Ukraine. 6.2 billion and that's an accounting error, 6.2 billion. Could you imagine if you worked for a finance company and you messed up so bad that you gave somebody 6.2 billion extra? That's probably never happened ever in the history of finance. 6.2 billion. What type of accounting error could that have been and does anybody actually believe that it's an accounting error? Because I, I don't think there's probably a single person in the White House or the Pentagon that you could find that actually agrees with that statement. How stupid do you think the American people are that they, that you believe that we would believe you after all things that we've found out about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, the White House, the military industrial complex with Ukraine, that this came from the result of, oops, press the wrong button. Darn it. Not another $6 billion. How, how dumb do you think the American people are that you can come up here and make a statement like that? Speaking of statements, let's go ahead and listen in. Oddly following up from, um, some announcements earlier this year, during the department's regular over of presidential drawdown authority for Ukraine, we discovered inconsistencies in equipment valuation for Ukraine in a significant number of cases, services used replacement costs rather than netbook value, thereby overestimating the value of the equipment drawn down from US stocks and provided to Ukraine. Once we discovered this misvaluation, the comptroller reissued guidance on March 31st, clarifying how to value equipment in line with the financial management regulation and D O D policy to ensure we use the most accurate of accounting methods. We have confirmed that for F Y 23, the final calculation is 3.6 billion, and for F y 22, it is 2.6 billion for a combined total of 6.2 billion. These valuation errors in no way limit or restricted the size of any of our PDAs or impacted the provision of support to Ukraine. And while the d o d, while the d O D retains the authority to utilize the recaptured P D A, this has no bearing on appropriated U S A I or Ukraine P D a replenishment funding approved by Congress. Oh, okay. You just throw out a bunch of acronyms, so we don't know what you're saying, but I know what you're saying, lady. Could you imagine being her? It's like her first day and they just have to, they're like, okay, by the way, I, I know. Here's your notes. And but also we need to do to tell the American people that she, that we accidentally miscalculated $6.2 billion of their tax money and just sent it to Ukraine. What a, what an interesting first day that must have been for this woman. I'm sure it wasn't her first day, but you know, it's the first time I've seen her. Uh, anyways, this goes on to say, and this comes from DC dno. He says, insane Pentagon announces an overpayment of 6.2 billion to Ukrainian calls it an accounting error. How much do you want to bet? A good chunk of that accounting error landed in the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs. Yep. Wow. All right. Now let's, let's talk about this because if you or I make a. Error on our tax returns resulting in, let's say, let's just use a, let's use a crazy number here. $60,000, $60,000 accounting error. That wouldn't be a small percentage fraction of what happened here. Let's just use 10,000, let's use 10,000 here. If you miscalculated your taxes by $10,000, the IRS, as we found out recently, can literally knock down your door with weapons drawn as they did to a gun store owner recently. But they make a $6.2 billion error and, you know, make it a one minute conversation in the press conference. At what point do, do we reclaim our tax system? Right? What I find to be the craziest thing, like the federal income tax, like when, when was the federal income tax created? Cause I believe it was like the fricking eighties or something. Might even be later than that. It says, in American, the first American income tax was imposed during the Civil War in 1861 with flat 3% tax on all incomes, over $800. Um, so not the eighties, but it wasn't officially enacted that we know it today until 1913 was when the federal income taxes, we know it now, was officially enacted. That was literally your great grandparents didn't have to deal with the federal income tax. And now you have people giving 40% of their income to the government, and they're misspending it on proxy wars so that Hunter Biden can smoke meth off of a stripper's butt cheek in dunes. Meanwhile, they'll kick down your door over $10,000 miscalculation on your taxes. The, the whole federal income tax thing is, you know, I, I cannot believe we're in a place now where they take such a large percentage of your money, and yet we have to sit here and listen to the nonsense that they talked to us about, where they take that tax money that they would've, you know, put you in jail if you didn't tell them about, and then send it to wherever this fictitional places where these, you know, billionaires in, in Ukraine could get their hands on it. Or, or even worse yet, the military industrial complex, uh, in organizations of the world. Now speaking of the people who own those, of the military industrial complex, you know, the, the Raytheons, the, uh, you know, basically the stark industries of 2023. Let's watch this video that comes from O'Keefe Media Group, uh, in James O'Keefe, where BlackRock employee, a BlackRock recruiter decides, uh, who decides people's fate says war is good for business in undercover business or undercover footage. Let's watch it. They don't wanna be in the news. They, they don't want people to talk about 'em. They don't wanna be anywhere on, on the radar. Why not I on film? But I suspect it's probably because it's easier to do things when people aren't thinking about it. All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. You can take this big ton of money and then you can start to buy people. I work for, uh, a company called BlackRock Meets Varley, a recruiter at BlackRock. Lemme tell you's not who is the president, it's who's controlling the, the wallet. And if you didn't just hear that, because he's speaking very low in a restaurant, he says, let me tell you, it's not who the president is. It's who's controlling the wallet of the president. This recruiter for BlackRock says it's, it's And who's that? The hedge funds, the banks. These guys campaign financing. Yep. You can buy your candidates. Obviously we have the system in place first. There's the Senate, so these guys, you got 10 grand you can buy. I can give you 500 K right now. No questions asked. Yeah, I did to be done. Does like everybody do that? Does BlackRock do that? It doesn't matter if who lens you're So they're, they're my father. Here's Serge Varley. On how good war is for Black Rocks business. Do you have any, um, thoughts on the Ukraine, Russia war? Yeah. I mean, I, I do have thoughts. What, what am I, Ukraine is good for business, you know? Right. I'll give an example. Russia. Russia blows up Ukraine. US price of wheat's gonna go mad up. Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market, global wheat market. Mm-hmm. Prices of bread, of, you know, literally everything is goes up. Now, this is fantastic. If you're trading, volatility creates opportunity to make profit. War is no good for, for business. It's exciting when, right. Rock rack manages 20 trillions. It's in comprehensive numbers. BlackRocks Varley says all of this is above a normal person's understanding. You're like a undercover reporter. This is, this is beyond them. The whole thing of like domination forum, a concept said you're like an undercover reporter. Yeah. No shit buddy. Yeah, and you're pretty smart for picking up on that and still talking this entire time. He said war is good for business and that BlackRock manages 20 trillion trillion dollars in assets. So interesting. Hi, I'm James O'Keefe with OMG News. Here we are with our latest story this time on BlackRock, one of the world's leading asset and investment managers, which owns significant shares of companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Anheuser-Busch, meta Target, Proctor and Gamble, Comcast, cnn, Fox, and yes, Pfizer, just to name a few. At OMG, we do not shy away from exposing powerful companies, and we're not afraid of powerful people. So we decided to take a look for ourselves of the influence BlackRock has on our politics and the influence they have on our culture. So to do that, what better place to start a hidden camera investigator. I'm the person who, he funds people from other firms. So I would approach and be, Hey, this is a good reason why you should come for us, Serge tells us who really runs the world, how they do it, and just how much it costs to buy. People like politicians, let tell you, it's not the who's the president, it's who's controlling the, the wallet. It's, it's the, and who's that? The hedge funds cloth, the banks, these guys. And if you think of that, it's not really. The banks, the hedge funds, it's the people who own the banks and who own the hedge funds, who are sitting in the boardroom when they're having strategy discussions about how to rig the next election, allegedly, right? It's the people who are sitting there trying to figure out whether they're going to put pride stuff at the front of Target when they own it. It's the people who decide the, uh, you know, what is it? The c e I scores is now going to be the next way that a company gets funding, right? So it's not, it's not the entity. That's making these decisions. It's the people in the strategy meetings at these board rooms that are making these decisions. And, and the people at the strategy of those board rooms only sit there as long as the owners of these companies, the the highest up people within these companies, the, the families who started them, the, the head of those families, like the Rockefellers, like the, the Rothchilds, like the George Soros says, who determine the fate of humanity, who determine the fate of our country, who determine the fate of these wars. Because whether they wanna fund one side or the other, they're both gonna win, right? They're, they're still gonna make profits either way, just as he talked about. So whether they're, they're investing on wheat or they're shorting wheat when they know there's about to be an airstrike on a major wheat, uh, you know, silo. That determines the Ukrainian uh, economy, right? So you get, you get Raytheon or you get, you know what, whatever the, you know, military industrial complex is making strategic decisions or, or giving strategic advice to these companies, and also pumping them full of missiles. And then they make these decisions about where they're going to strike, and that causes changes in what happens to the economy, which they then short or, or invest in the stocks of each side making money knowing what's about to happen. So the longer that these wars go on, and the longer that they have a say in the strategy of these wars, the more profits they make. So when you figure it out from that perspective, and then you understand that that's what you're sending your sons or your daughter into when, when it comes to being in the military, uh, maybe it's time to second guess whether, you know, that's what's in their best interest, especially when they only generally go after, you know, lower income families. You know, literally, I, I can't tell you how crazy it is to have a, uh, recruiter. Come to a, uh, you know, a high school that you're at and, and put a pull up bar there. Like, you know, show me how tough you are and then throw a fucking t-shirt at you and then try to recruit you so you can go shoot some, you know, somebody with a different religion who was born in the different side of the world than you, uh, for them to make profits. Right? It's just so messed up. So let's see if there's anything else interesting in this, and then we'll wrap it up and move into our next topic. Campaign financing. Yep. You can buy your can. So how so all of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. How do they run the world? You acquire stuff, you diversify, you acquire, you keep acquiring. You spend whatever you make in acquiring more. And at a certain point, your rest club is, is super low. Like imagine you've invested in, um, like 10 different industries from food to. To drinks to like technology. Right? One, one of them fails. It doesn't matter. You have nine others to back you up. Risk management is, is inherently just about everything. And in the finance space, it's all about, it's, it's, well, it's all about the money you make. You don't, you don't let it sit. Yeah. Like you keep using it over and over and just reinvest. Yeah. And exponential growth. And then once you just own a little bit of everything, is that where the control, yeah. You own a little bit of everything and a little bit of everything Gives you so much money on a yearly basis that you can take this big ton of money and then you can start to buy people. Obviously we have this system in place first. There's the senate and these guys, you got 10 grand, you can buy a, it doesn't matter who wins. They're still not, they're, they're my father. I can give you 500 K right now. No questions asked. Yeah, I gonna do what needs to be done. Like yeah, of course. Why not? Does like everybody do that? Does BlackRock do that? The BlackRock recruiter also tells us about how the US government relies on BlackRock for their economic simulation, computational power, economic simulation. They need to understand the impact of something, right? They're gonna like raise the interest, for example. Mm-hmm. It's gonna create this cascade of various factors that aren't, they're not sure what's gonna do, basically, and just how freaking great the Ukraine war is for business. Do you have any, um, thoughts on the Ukraine, Russia war? All right. So it looks like he's just going over everything that they already showed in the first part of the video, but good on. O'Keefe Media Group, it's, it shames me to not be able to say Project Veritas cause those words have been slipping from my mouth for so long. Um, but good on James O'Keefe for pivoting from Project Veritas so quickly and then coming up with these amazing stories as well. Uh, so now let's go ahead and jump into the next portion of this discussion, which is going to be where we start to get a little deep, not quite as deep as the submarine just yet, but you'll see where this goes. Alright, so this says, disgraced former c n n producer sentenced to 19 years in prison for child sex crimes. Now, I don't know about you, but I am not surprised. All right, so let's go ahead. And see what this article has to say. And it says, former CNN producer John Griffin has been sentenced to 19 years in prison on Tuesday for committing child sex crimes in Vermont. John Griffin, 45 convinced, confessed to coercing a woman online to bringing her 19, her nine year old daughter to Ludlow, Vermont for illicit acts. Wow, that's horrible. The US Attorney's office for the District of Vermont charged Griffin with three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce to attempt to entice minors to engage in unlawful activity in 2021. However, Griffin entered entered into a plea agreement in December, and the government dropped two additional charges for enticing a minor after he confessed his crimes. Now, one thing to mention in a segue with that other portion of this is that BlackRock owns C Nnn and hired this man a criminal, you know, and also they own Target and every other one that's pushing, you know, uh, All of the pride materials and drag shows for children within their brands. A criminal complaint filed by the state, uh, of Nevada against a mother accused of pimping her nine year old daughter out to CNN Strong Griffin, and revealed that authorities arrested the mother in August, 2020 and CS Griffin's devices the following month. This means that law enforcement allegedly knew about Griffin's abuse for more than a year before arresting him. Court records reveal that Griffin paid the mother to fly with the girls from Nevada to Boston, where the girls said Griffin assaulted her. According to court documents, federal investigators seized computer storage, media devices, phones, cameras, micro SD cards, images, and video from Griffin on September 2nd. The in indictment alleged that Griffin lured a mother and her underage daughter to his home for the purposes of abuse in July, 2020. Man, I, I can't even read this whole thing. Geez. All right. So no surprises there that somebody from cnn, nonetheless, the one pushing pride, the one pu pushing the trans agenda, pushing sex changes in children, all of that is somehow or another in intertwined in into some shape or form of actively sexually assaulting minors. And what we find out too, as we go a little deeper into this ocean of information, is that the convicted CNN producer and former CNN's president's wife was connected to Epstein. So the same man that was the producer for CNN, who got 19 years in prison, just sentenced to him for sex crimes against children's wife was friends with Ghislaine Maxwell. And now you start to see where all these little spiderwebs come together. Now there's a picture here that was posted now, um, posted by an anonymous source on, uh, Twitter, but it has photos and it says, we found photos of Ghislaine Maxwell Epstein's co-conspirator, socializing with Jeff's zucker's wife, Karen Zucker. For context, Jeff Zucker is the current president of C Nnn. Now, this man doesn't seem to be, have been trafficking this child this same way, so he was involved in the same trafficking ring. And you wonder why C Nnn was not covering Epstein's trial or his murder properly. It's because the producer's wife was best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell, and now he's finally being convicted on separate charges. But if they would just open the book and let us know who was actually a part of the sex trafficking ring of Epstein, maybe this would've happened. We would've found this out prior to this child getting assaulted. Maybe we would've found this out prior to all of the assaults that have happened since then, and they still won't release the documents. They still won't go after the Johns. They still won't go after the people that were in Epstein's book. They still will not release the flight logs so that you can actually find it out, and they still won't go after them legally. Why? Especially when almost in every account of Epstein people talk about him having videotapes and videos to blackmail these people. Now, what we come to find out later, as so many people have talked about prior, is that it's very likely. That Epstein was an asset of three letter agencies. Somewhere in the world could even be the United States. Some people seem to believe it was Maad. Some people seem to believe that he was a part of several. But the idea here is that Epstein was leveraging children and these type of sexual acts with all of the people that he's flown out to that island, including Bill Gates, whose wife left him for being associated with Jeff Jeffrey Epstein, the way that he was, including Steven Hawking, including Alec Baldwin, including Hil, uh Clinton, including almost every single person we know now to be true that has been convicted within Hollywood for assault on children. Or child pornography. How many of these assaults, how many of these children would've been saved from these acts if our institution, our government, these three letter agencies did their job and actually went after this list of people that they so clearly know were a part of this? And why would you not do that unless you were in some way, shape, or form involved? Right? And this kind of goes back to the John F. Kennedy, uh, assassination. Now, I'm not saying for certain that the CIA was the ones who decided to pull the trigger on this. Now it's very compelling that they might have been the ones to decide that. But what we do know 100% is that they at least covered some of their tracks. We do know that they dropped the, the magic bullet. Into the gurney. We do know that they, they placed people in positions to be able to cover up the tracks by, by having them go out with the coroners and have the autopsy done by somebody who was in their pocket. So whether he was a controlled asset of these three letter agencies, or whether they were just covering their tracks because they were somehow associated in the spiderweb of horrificness that was happening here, that's, that's yet to be told. But what we do know is there is some association with some type of entity, because they knew this about Jeffrey Epstein for the longest time, and how many children continued to be horrifically, horrifically assaulted, how many child child's lives were ruined, how many children were flown to an island while the ccia, the fbi, and all of these other organizations knew everything about it. So that leads us into our next conversation. Um, which was a comment off of that Reddit thread. Um, so here we go. It says, an overview of the blackmail running our world. And this speaks to the things that I was just talking about. It says, this post is an overview of the blackmail tactics used to control the most influential people in governments around the world. Obviously, I cannot cover everything in a single post, so as with my previous post, I highly encourage you to research further yourself. All sources and links are at the bottom of the post. An understanding of what trauma-based mind control programming MK Ultra slash Monarch is and how it works is again, necessary to understand much of this. My other posts are here. The world is run on blackmail, mind control and shame. There exists many collections of videotapes of high up people engaging in some of the worst sickest things imaginable. Now, to preempt this, I'm not condoning that all of this is true. I'm simply reading you something that I found online. Um, but there seems to be a lot of evidence and, and there seems to be a lot of people who seem, who, who agree with this position. Uh, so here's some of the information that people believe drugs, torture, pedophilia and murder are common themes to these videos. These tapes are in the hands of many different people, groups, and especially intelligence agencies. Honey trap operations are constantly being run to gather, compromising, and incriminating evidence on people of importance. Child slaves will be used to compromise people on video. Global leaders are often covertly, videotaped, doing perverted things with slaves sent to them by intelligence agencies, the Illuminati, Illuminati, or other groups. And this is then leveraged. Uh, one of the most repulsive things possible that you can do is many times filmed to ensure future compliance. Then he goes on, or she goes on in this, to quote many people discussing these things, uh, whether they were c i a, assets intelligence agencies that they worked for, um, or others, x m i six. Uh, and then they, he actually, or she actually names these people. But, uh, I don't want to get too into the weeds on these, but I'll read you a couple and, and hopefully the, the most important ones are at the top. This is back in 1966. Oh, let's see if this is where we wanna start. Back in 1966, Rothstein became the first police detective assigned to investigate the prostitution industry almost immediately, that he discovered an underground sexual blackmail operation that compromised politicians with child prostitutes. Human compromise is what he was labeled the honey trap process. Rothstein and his colleagues found that approximately 70% of the top US government leaders were compromised In this way, Rothstein said the CIA conducted the human compromise operation while the FBI was tasked with covering up any leaks. Wow. It says Fiona Barnett. Let's see if we can get a who that actually is for you guys. Uh, Fiona Barnett. She's in a documentary called Candy Girl. Let's see if we can watch a couple minutes of that. Let's get some context. Extraordinary claims coming out of Canberra tonight with a former Prime Minister allegedly on a list of suspected pedophiles liberal Senator Bill Heffernan, who is pushing for the child abuse Royal Commission to include the legal profession. Told an explosive Senate hearing. He has a police list of 28 prominent suspects. There's a former Prime Minister on this list and it is a police document. And now I'd like to introduce to you Fiona Barnett. That's B a r n e t, who is one of the bravest people you will ever have the privilege to meet. Throughout my childhood, I was a victim of Australia's v i p child sex trafficking ring. For example, I was prostituted to pedophile parties at Parliament House Canberra, and to an international leader at Fair Bain Military Airport. The people involved in this elite pedophile ring included high ranking politicians, police, and judiciary. From the late 1980s, I reported my abuse experiences to multiple healthcare professionals, not one of whom adhered to mandatory reporting requirements. I reported to New South Wales Police in 2008. I reported to the Royal Commission in 2012. I reported to operation of test in Canberra. I made formal witness statements to New South Wales Police and have agreed to do more. I've reported directly to the New South Wales and Federal Police Commissioners and to the New South Wales coroner. I have provided sufficient names, times, dates, and places for authorities to investigate. My experiences were hor horrific beyond words. I witnessed child abduction, torture, rape, murder, but. The way I've been treated for reporting the crimes I witnessed and experienced has been far worse than my original abuse experiences. Victims endure the most miserable childhoods. We then spend the rest of our lives paying for the crimes committed against us. Victims are constantly placed under excessive scrutiny. If we can't provide a precise time and date for something that happened 40 years ago, we are called liars. If we get emotional, we're labeled crazy. If we are vocal, we're just attention seekers. It's time to focus our attention away from victims and onto those responsible for the crimes against children. In the 2006 census, Australians identified child protection as their number one concern. Why then does our government continue to ignore the public's concern for children? Australia is a pedophile haven. Our laws are written, interpreted, and administered in a way that benefits pedophiles and silences victims of crime, teach pro pedophilia material, our health boards. Now, the man that she accused of being one of her abusers was Nicole Kidman's dad, who eventually fled to Singapore as a result of these accusations and was mysteriously dead. So that's an interesting piece of the puzzle that I just read. Wow. Crazy. I believe, uh, she wrote something called Eyes Wide. Sh No, that's not her. Okay. Uh, random book. Um, so. There's a big grab a hole there with her. Just, just her, you know, um, justice Scalia was mentioned under her name several times. Uh, several different things. So, so just to show you that there's validity in merit to the person that he is quoting here in just one of these, one of these subsections. So I, I, I didn't have any research on her or any of this prior to that, so, um, but just googling that name, you can find validity to it. And, and here we go. And we'll read some of the. Next parts of this here. Uh, but let's, let's read what, what she had to say about that. Um, and, and maybe I'll give a couple more reads of this. She said, one of the things that I found out over the last 10 years of studying governments and listening to intelligence and counterintelligence agencies is that those in government are sexually compromised and their sexual secrets are collected, and then they are promoted into governments and into ju judiciaries and into all the positions of importance. Pedophilia is the preferred dirt as it is easily photographed, easily presented in a range of media, immensely shameful, and the public demands your resignation. The next person quoted here is Greg Hallett. Paul Bacci, one of the victim witnesses. Of the Franklin Affair. Also clearly stated Larry King used him in blackmail operations in New York, in Washington. The latter was in connection with the activities of a close associate of Larry King Craig Spence, who was involved in the prostitution ring consisting of underage boys that were supplied to Washington's upper class, which went right up to the White House. Greg Hallett also said Bob Hope was politically connected and knew how to lure people in and ensure that they would work for him. He invited them to his parties and dangled various kinds of illegal and immoral perversions in their faces. Once their perversions were uncovered, he could blackmail or control them. That is how Bob worked. Bob was very good at this. I watched him do it to people over and over. He lured them in, detected their weaknesses, then used that knowledge in his favor for his connections, and ultimately for his personal gain. Uh, Bryce Taylor goes on to say, These blackmail practices are often used in conjunction with trauma-based mind control. This mind control is an integral component of and is deeply intertwined with child trafficking, sex slavery, satanic, ritual abuse, and many other horrific crimes. Many of the children used for the blackmail are programmed and many of these people being blackmailed, including sometimes future politicians, leaders, and presidents are also programmed themselves. Hmm. This is my personal belief based on my experiences, is that over the years, more leaders were undermined control. So what this is saying is that there's documented evidence consistently that there is being used blackmail and mind control techniques against high level politicians so that they can be manipulated for profit over time. Let's see if there's any of the other ones that we wanna mention here, cuz there's a ton, a ton. There's one from the Pegasus file. Um, I'll read this one and the next one and then we'll move on. It says, check out for the FBI records on Scarlet. What was his original hook that got him so deeply embedded with the UK Illuminati culture? He murdered the nanny of Lord Luan in the 1970s. Luen wasn't actually involved. Scarlet got it wrong. He was under mind control at the time. How we laughed on his training sessions when he heard that, not when he heard that one. Not funny. Really, we were all in the same boat. Each had something terrible attached to us in our past. That's all part and parcel of the Illuminati contract. Young people forced under mind control to commit murder when, when young and then later on picked up by British intelligence to be used and abused as they wished as loyal servants to the British Crown. One can only hope that by exposing these hooks that some sort of amnesty can prevail. If these people are freed from their demonic Illuminati contract, by exposing their hooks, one can only hope that they will come forward at a sizeable and influential body of political and public figures in order to put to an end here's hope. Check it out. Remington's Hook to see what sort of mind ran M 15 for so long, or I five. Um, for so long it's a game called Mafia and it is all about blackmail. Hmm. This is from an ex I six agent says he had previously signed off on Epstein's sweetheart deal because Epstein had belonged to intelligence. Acosta then serving as US Attorney. The Southern Florida had also been told by unspecific figures at the time that he needed to give Epstein a lenient sentence because of his links to intelligence. Wow. Now that same Fiona Barnett mentioned satanism quite a bit in some of her, uh, talks here. Um, but this just goes on and on and on and on of other documented conversations about this blackmail and mind control process. Now, if you don't know about. MK Ultra. You need to go back. I did a full episode on it and broke it all down. I think I've done actually two episodes on MK Ultra, which is a ccia a uh, a C I A operation, which was done. There's over like a hundred and something different ways that they were doing, conducting different scientific experiments, uh, during the Cold War and beyond to try and figure out how to conduct mind control on people. Um, and it was like almost between, I don't remember exactly, but it was like almost 35 to 40 years that they were conducting these type of experiments. And, and it's all public knowledge. You can actually go to the cia.gov website, to the archives and look up the documents on MK Ultra to figure out, and now you know how they're actually using it. Uh, so let's read the next part of this. If you want to find this article, um, I will link it in a sub email that I will send out, uh, tomorrow. Um, so Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. I will link this conspiracy red article, which is not very much traction. I wonder why, but has tons and tons of receipts of legitimate people who have made legitimate claims over time that is well documented about this blackmail process. Now, the next thing that he talks about here, or she, uh, says deep underground military base information. This post is an inter or is an overview of deep underground military bases, dumbs. As with my other posts, I highly encourage that you'll research further yourself. An understanding of what trauma-based mind control programming is and how it works is necessary to understanding much of this. See, my other posts. And we will be looking at those. Um, for information about the programming heavily referenced and related to this post, all citation sources and links are at the end of the section. These above top secret, deep level underground bases are used for trauma-based mind control, or monarch pro programming, experimental programming, genetic and other human experimentation. Military Illuminati, N W O Technology development and storage, including advanced weapons and advanced anti-gravity crafts, the highest level scientific and paranormal experiments, military abductions, black ops child, human trafficking, breeding programs, and other terrible things. There exists a huge network of mag Lev tube shuttle connections under the United States, which extends into a global system of tunnels and underground bases in cities. Many pictures of the machines used for digging are on this page. Let's click that link. I told you we were going deep Fellas told you we were going deep. Uh, so this is an article from, no, I can't read that far. Um, it shows these huge US Air Force drilling machineries that were used to drill these types of tunnels. Wow. I'm not gonna get into that, but just know that it's there. If you want it to go to it, to look at these machines, it comes from project camelot.org. And again, I'll link it in the ck. This one I'll need to do the sub stack cause of how much information we're going over. Um, it says they're basically whole cities underground. They are between 2.65 and 4.25 cubic me miles in size. They have laser drilling machines that can drill a tunnel seven miles long In one day, I was involved in building an addition to the deep underground military base at DOLs, which is probably the deepest base. It goes down seven levels and over 2.5 miles deep. I helped Hollow Hollow out more than 13 deep underground military bases in the United States. That came from Phil Schneider. The next one comes, or from Phil Schneider says, I discovered that not only, so yeah, that one came from Phil Schneider. This next one comes from Fritz Springier says, I discovered that not only was our government focused on building deep secret cities, but the Illuminati families were also, furthermore, they were using technology that the public was unaware existed. The idea idea behind it was to create safe and secret place for themselves. Witnesses have described elevators going miles down super fast, trains, backup government agencies, genetic experiments, warehouses of stockpiled materials, and a non-human hybrid project. But what continues to haunt me was what they looked took from one eyewitness, which gave me, when he said, Fritz, you don't have a clue what is going on behind, beyond all of you have thought of. And after that, what is going on is beyond what all of you have thought of. And after that, there was a stone-faced mask on his face counter nets. I don't know what that means. Um, the next one comes from Phil Schneider, which says, these underground bases are funded by the black budget and non appropriated funds. Intelligence agencies run the global drug trade. Where's this money coming from? It's not from our regular Black Ops budget. It comes from an illegal sale of drugs. And we know that to be true because of the cocaine that the, the CIA and, and these agencies were selling in the eighties and the crack in the nineties. So we know that to be true 100%. There's already been articles about that, that the, the CIA was ab absolutely selling cocaine to fund these types of operations. So we know that to be true too. Says, where's this money coming from? It's not coming from regular Black Ops budget. Um, it's coming from the illegal sale of drugs in the United States. There's, at least by conservative estimates, a quarter of a trillion to a half a trillion of illegal drugs just sold in the United States. That goes directly into underground budgets. And 90 to 95% goes to these dumps. Black Ops budgets is a half trillion dollars per year, a quarter of the US Gross National product. Um, black budget is not monitored by Congress. It's an independent having body, but it's mainly financed by drug operations by the ccia NSA and the Drug Enforcement and Enforcement Administration. Also, the fbi. More recently an FBI man tried to tell me the public about this and was murdered in January of 95. Interesting. Uh, Phil Schneider goes on to say that much of this Black Ops drug money is being used to fund projects classified above top secret. These projects include the building and maintaining of deep level underground basis, such as the Chris Anton Crissan Anthem Underground Biogenetics facility in Doles, New Mexico. Pine Gap in Australia, Breen Beacons in Wales, snowy mountains in Australia. The Nyla range in Africa, west of Hindu in Africa, next to the Libyan border in Egypt to Mount Blanc and Switzerland, NVA and Scandinavia, Gotland Island, and Sweden. There are at least 1400 of these DBS worldwide, 131 in the US with two underground bases being built per year in the US at the moment. The average depths of these bases are of four and a quarter miles underground, some shallower and some deeper. These bases are on average, the size of a medium-sized city. Each D U M B cost between 17 and 26 billion to build, which is funded by MI six and ccia Drug money. A nuclear powered drill is used to dig underground. The drill goes through the rock at a tremendous rate and literally melts the rock away to form a smooth glass like surface around the edges of the tunnels. The next one comes from James Kasal, which says, project Mannequin was started in 1972 and is still being run from a six level underground facility beneath the small town of smore in Berkshire, A few miles from where I grew up. Also, the CLC one base, which, uh, whatever in London was connected to a large base in Parliament la, the underground facility below the Porten down bio warfare facility in Wilshire. This underground base is also so secret that the local residents of peace more are not even aware it exists. The NSA facility known for the intelligence circles as AL 4 99 bases located 200 feet below the village. There are entrances to the facility at Greenham Common, um, which is the Bravo entrance, which is now sealed off. Whitefield Military Science College, Harville Laboratories in Oxfordshire, so on and so forth. The underground base at Lambourne is the area 51 of the UK with many exotic anti-gravity aircraft stored there. Wow. All right. This goes on and on and on and on. This is a crazy, crazy idea. I have not heard about this yet. Next one. And then literally, there's so many of these, so many of these quotes and links in sources, uh, that, that this goes into. Um, and we're just scratching the surface, scratching the surface. Wow. Let's see if we can grab one of his links here. Wow. This links to something called the Illuminati formula, used to create an undetectable mind control slave. Told you we're going deep. Wow. Let me look at this index here. Dear God. All right, so I'm not even gonna go into that, but like I said, I will link that. Uh, this is a book from Fritz Spring Meyer and Cisco Wheeler called The Illuminati Formula, used to create an undetectable mind control slave, and it comes from whale to so many links, so many articles. So many little twisted tunnels that you could get into from this. Let's read one more. Uh, this, uh, comes from Veronica Swift, which says One thing that they do is very advanced, almost mind bogglingly advanced is genetic manipulation and crossbreeding of humans. We already know that to be true. It's the chimes that we've talked about, that China admitted to be experiment theon, and she mentions it. Here we go. Both Jesse and Cisco report that the Illuminati Brotherhood is secretly creating human animal hybrids called chimes. They're breeding humans with birds and other animals, as well as inserting DNA into humans that normally would belong only to a fish, for example. Dear Lord, Next one says, area 51, dreamland Groom Lake, Nevada Area 51 is also known as dreamland. There are a number of extensive underground facilities in the area. This is one of the first genetic research fili facilities in the us, perhaps the first major genetic research facility. The people's workers and victims are brought in by airplane and tube shuttle. The worst cases of U F O alien type of monarch programming are coming out of Area 51. The eggs from slaves are being harvested and weird genetic creatures are being developed from human eggs, which has been genetically mixed with other things. Ooh, we're going deep, hidden high atop the mountainside along going into the sun road at more than 6,600 elevation is the secret tunnel entrance for an extensive underground Nazi slash CIA facility in the above satellite image. The larger circle denotes the hidden rock facade entrance, and the smaller circle denotes the position of camouflage guards. The secret tunnel descends more than two miles to a giant, hollowed out industrial complex below the mountain. This huge underground city slash base connects to Montana to Canada, just north of the national border at the cleverly named International Peace Park. This underground base is where the CIA keeps its stolen Holocaust trillions and test its most secret new world order black projects, including Tesla's flying discs, opt optically, invisible aircraft, and other stolen Tesla technologies. Operations at the base include maintenance and deployment of stealth drones. Wow. It also says Glacier National Park was the first national park to have railroad access at the time, a necessity for all large scale underground, military, industrial construction. This enabled them to transport the rumored Nazi gold train of stolen Holocaust Loot from Uck. New York to a secret base located inside the mountain. On the pro, uh, prominently above the secret tunnel entrance, there is a strange looking outcropping of rocks that a certain times of day looks like a grizzly bear. Hence the name Grizzly Peak. The c i a uses a secret tunnel route to illegally smuggle drugs, guns, ss Nazi war criminals, and dignitaries into Canada without stopping at any border crossings. Good Lord, this just goes deeper and deeper and deeper. Wow. I'm gonna have to do a whole episode on this. Yeah. We'll have to do a whole episode on this. The next topic that we were supposed to go into is, The Alice in Wonderland, trauma-based mind control programming. So I'll touch on this super briefly and then we're gonna have to wrap this up. But I will dive into these topics and come back to you guys with a, a full understanding, cuz I'm just finding this out with you. It says, A basic understanding of what trauma-based mind control is and how it works is absolutely necessary to understand this post. Um, it will not make sense otherwise. If you haven't read my other post, uh, first this is a follow up. This posts quite heavily on the character limit. Alison Wonderland is one of the two most commonly used mind control program scripts. The other is the Wizard of Oz. All mind control programming is a variation on a theme determined in part by the victim's own imagination and their set role in the cult. Hence, while Oz and Alice programming are uniformly employed, their application differs from every victim. Now again, it comes to Fiona Barnett, the person that we talked about earlier. Alice is the name given to every female MK Delta Child Soldier, hence the Alice in Wonderland and Alice through the Looking Glass programming. There are many variation used by different groups, but the basic concepts are the same. In alter personality or multiple. Who believes that they are Alice, a mirror world referred to as through the looking glass or the other side of the mirror. This is the fantasy world. This alter personality goes to or lives in, completely disassociated from the human extreme trauma. The Alice in Wonderland programming theme is used in air water programs and mirror programs, which the Illuminati, cia, nasa, Jesuit, and other like so. Well. The idea is that there exists a mirror world, which is a reversal. Along with it attached is the idea that the slave can enter into a timeless dimension of time. Or as some refer to it, interdimensional time travel going through the looking glass takes them to a world where the ordinary world is turned upside down and backwards. Uh, Fritz Spring Meyer says, using the movie programmers encourage slaves to go into over the rainbow, follow the yellow brick road, or follow the rabbit, and disassociate effectively separating their minds from their bodies the same way Alice follows a white rabbit through the looking glass. To enter the strange world of wonder, slaves follow their handlers through programming to reach complete disassociation. In the fairytale, Alice enters a fantasy world where everything is magical, inverted, and unstable. A place similar to the slave's internal world where everything can be modified by the handler. Therefore, in mk symbolism Wonderland represents the state of mind of disassociation, mind control slave, the place where they escape the plane of trauma. The next person said, I had listened to. A queen at talk at length about such concepts before hypnotic talk of past, present, future set my mind in a spin that when combined with Alice in Wonderland, NASA mirror, world concepts C uh, created an illusion of timeless dimensions. I know that the only dimensions I experienced were elaborate memory compartmentalizations of real earthly events by real earthly criminals, and certainly not by aliens, Satan or demons. Wow. It goes on to talk about another one which says that, uh, The White Rabbit is a programming figure for Alice in Wonderland programming who will allow you to go otherwise inaccessible places for adventure. He represents the master. The white rabbit is an important figure to the slave. Fritz Springer says, Alice, uh, represents mind control in general. The meaning of is purposeful referenced in media, for example, the Matrix or Pet Goat two, which is symbolism. Uh, this page has collected a collection of celebrity monarch slave pictures referencing Alice Mind Control in popular media. It's everywhere. Interesting. I'm sure we can go down that rabbit hole, no pun intended. Wow. Hmm. Talks about, it shows Adam Lambert. It shows like it's just basically showing all of the symbolism within Hollywood, referencing the White Rabbit and Alice in Wonderland. It even shows a picture of Britney Spears wearing the rabbit years during a performance. His Cameron Diaz followed the white rabbit as well. Who knows? Maybe it's just a coincidence. So this is just all speculation, but it does show a fair amount of correlations between Hollywood figures and Alice in Wonderland, which to be fair, was a huge Hollywood hit, and maybe that's why and has absolutely nothing to do with CIA m i six, Illuminati Satanic mind control. And maybe these people are all crazy. That could be very well it, but that's a pretty big, pretty big amount of pictures and people, and when you say, uh, Bri Britney Spears, you go watch some Britney Spears videos, that's some of the wildest, weirdest things you'll ever see in your life. Uh, yeah. Interesting. Says the same way Alice follows a white rabbit through the looking glass to enter a strange world of wonder. Slaves follow their handlers through programming to reach a complete disassociation. And the fairytale Alice enters a fantasy world where everything is magical. Right. We already talked about that, um, over the years. Uh, interesting. All right. I don't have the mental fortitude to continue going down this road because it seems to be pretty dark. Uh, but I, I will read it when I have the ability to do so and come back to you

You can see recordings of previous panels on our YouTube Channel. WDI is the leading global organisation defending women's sex-based rights against the threats posed by gender identity ideology. There is more information on the website womensdeclaration.com where you will find our Declaration on Women's Sex-based rights, which has been signed by more 30,000 people from 157 countries and is supported by 418 organisations. This week's speakers: Vikki Laxx - England - Update on Primary mixed sex changing rooms Sue Lent - Wales - I'll describe the Welsh Government's capture by gender ideology and the work of women to change this, bearing in mind that we have a Labour Government in Wales and many of us are Labour members. Bio: I am a Cardiff County Councillor.I'm a member of Merched Cymru, (Welsh organisation of Gender Critical women) and of Labour Women's Declaration working group. I sing with Cor Cochion Caerdydd, a Socialist campaigning choir and used this experience to set up Cwfen, the women's choir who sang at Filia. My proudest achievement is that I was one of the original women who walked from Cardiff to Greenham Common (with a one year old baby) in 1981 Heli - Netherlands - An update Jill Raymond - Meeting with UK parliamentarians about lesbian rights Disclaimer: Women's Declaration International (WDI) hosts a range of women from all over the world on Feminist Question Time (FQT) and Radical Feminist Perspectives (RFP) and on webinars hosted by country chapters – all have signed our Declaration or have known histories of feminist activism - but beyond that, we do not know their exact views or activism.

If Anne Can's podcast is six months old, I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to produce such a joyful project. I wish you all much cheer over the festive period, and may your dreams come true in 2023.My guest this week is Jane Lockwood; Jane is an activist who lived in Greenham Common to protest the horror of war and nuclear weapons. She has spoken at the UN and the Royal Albert Hall. She subsequently relocated to  Australia, became a Head Teacher and led a national training programme. Jane is reigniting her passion for writing and talking and has contributed to two books on healing from childhood abuse.  In this fascinating discussion, Jane talks about The Importance of EducationThe drive to escape a complex background and being determined to work hard and take the opportunity to go to university.  Becoming an ActivistThe influence of her father's political stance and his support nurtured Jane's instinct to do something about bad things. Greenham Common ExperienceJane answered the call and was deeply affected and horrified by the sight of nuclear weapons. She felt there was no other option but to become physically involved. This has led to a life-long need to take action. Defying ExpectationsBeing different - Jane found her rebellious nature supported and encouraged by others. She believes fear is the driver of stopping people from doing things. By sticking with others, you gain strength. Not having family or career responsibilities at the time of Greenham made Jane's activism easier. She braved the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence or even being shot on sight. She was prepared to take the risk because other people were unable to. Strong self-knowledge MI is moving to a remote part of Australia. Becoming a teacher gave Jane a ready-made family. Being in the Outback gave Jane great happiness. She was living in connection to the land and being outdoors.  An unlimited horizon and space give Jane a spiritual connection.Ending her teaching career with the Aboriginal people was a revelation and inspiration to fight inequality and patriarchy. Looking forward with hopeAcross the world people are still struggling, and the situation for women remains complicated. National movements lead to inspiration.Focus on the SpiritualJane continues the daily journey of looking at herself, taking steps to a better life, and feeling comfortable in her skin. Nature and seeking her path was more fulfilling than established religions.

A lot can be said about [Giz Watson](https://greens.org.au/wa/person/giz-watson-0), it's hard to know where to start. Her career boasts environmental activism, carpentry (at one point, she was one of only three women to be registered as a builder in Western Australia) and perhaps what most people know her for, which is her time as the first openly lesbian parliamentarian in Australia with the Greens. Watson was born in 1957 in Eastleigh, a town in Hampshire, England, and emigrated to Western Australia in September 1967. She studied environmental science at Murdoch University and, after leaving university to do voluntary work for a couple of years, graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1980. Watson was involved in protests against the Vietnam War, and participated in the first encirclement by women protestors of [Greenham Common](https://www.historyhit.com/greenham-common-protests/). In 1984 Watson attained a trade certificate in carpentry from the City and Guilds of London Institute in London- joining an anarchist building collective soon after. In 1985 she returned to Australia and ran a building and construction business in Western Australia. After joining parliament through the Greens party, she helped to draft legislation that granted gay and lesbian couples the same rights as de facto couples. Giz Watson was inducted in the [Western Australia Women's Hall of Fame](https://www.wawomenshalloffame.com.au/) in 2011. In this episode of HERSTORY on RTRFM, Giz Watson speaks to Taylah Strano about activism, carpentry and caring for our environment. HERSTORY is an RTRFM podcast series about some of the remarkable women in the Western Australian Hall of Fame. Join us as we shine a light on the lives and careers of women who have demolished barriers, lived incredible lives, and built a legacy of possibility for the girls and young women who follow in their footsteps.

Following his RAF Regiment officer training Trevor Howie was posted to 34 Sqn at Raf Akrotiri in Cyprus, commanding  C Flight. The RAF regiment was effectively the Royal Air Force's infantry, providing ground defence for air operations.34 Sqn had a dual role of providing defence at Akrotiri and in the event of war at RAF Wildenrath in Germany. Trevor vividly describes his time at Akrotiri, including terrorist threats and realistic anti-riot training exercises the enthusiasm of the  Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders required a hospital ward to be kept available for casualties.   In 1986 Trevor became involved in Nuclear Weapon Security training, where the training techniques he introduced were the subject of complaints. His service also includes stints at RAF Greenham Common where he describes providing support to the US nuclear-armed cruise missile deployment there. Don't miss next week's episode where Trevor is posted to RAF Gatow in West Berlin as the Station Regiment Officer,  responsible for advising the Station Commander on how to defend the Station during times of war, tension or terrorist threat.Cold War history is disappearing; however, a simple monthly donation will keep this podcast on the air.

On the morning of Thursday 29 June 1682, a magpie came rasping, rapping and tapping at the window of a prosperous Devon merchant. Frightened by its appearance, his servants and members of his family had, within a matter of hours, convinced themselves that the bird was an emissary of the devil sent by witches to destroy the fabric of their lives. As the result of these allegations, three women of Bideford came to be forever defined as witches. A Secretary of State brushed aside their case and condemned them to the gallows; to hang as the last group of women to be executed in England for the crime. Yet, the hatred of their neighbours endured. For Bideford, it was said, was a place of witches. Though 'pretty much worn away' the belief in witchcraft still lingered on for more than a century after their deaths. In turn, ignored, reviled, and extinguished but never more than half-forgotten, it seems that the memory of these three women - and of their deeds and sufferings, both real and imagined – was transformed from canker to regret, and from regret into celebration in our own age. Indeed, their example was cited during the final Parliamentary debates, in 1951, that saw the last of the witchcraft acts repealed, and their names were chanted, as both inspiration and incantation, by the women beyond the wire at Greenham Common. In The Last Witches of England: A Tragedy of Sorcery and Superstition (Bloomsbury, 2021), Dr. John Callow explores this remarkable reversal of fate, and the remarkable tale of the Bideford Witches. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

(United States Air Force) de Greenham Common, près de Newbury, en Angleterre, le 12 décembre 1982. Elles protestaient alors contre le projet du gouvernement britannique visant à autoriser l'installation de 96 missiles de croisière sur la base. Environ 12'000 personnes, principalement des femmes, avaient formé une chaîne humaine autour de cette clôture longue de presque 15 kilomètres. (© David Caulkin/AP Photo/Keystone)

Forty years ago, in the late summer of 1981, a group of women walked from Wales for over a hundred miles carrying a hand-made banner proclaiming their protest against American nuclear cruise  missiles that were to be sationed in the UK. Their march to the US military base at Greenham Common led to the establishment of a camp that, for nearly two decades, drew women from all over the world to make their voices heard in the name of peace - and inspired fellow protestors internationally Artist, activist and banner maker Thalia Cambpell one of the original marchers and founders of the camp, visits the Bureau to tell tales of dancing on nuclear silos, clashes with the authorities and the creation of vibrant protest art amongst the mud and mayhem. And we are joined by historian Charlotte Dew, author of 'Women For Peace: Banners From Greenham Common', a book published to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the protests that presents image of the amazing banners made by Thalia and her fellows celebrating the collective power of women, women's art and the history of peace campaigning.  For more on the book, the banners and the bomb www.fourcornersbooks.co.uk/books/women-for-peace-banners-from-greenham-common/ ---------- Get the Bureau's Newsletter   Support our wild endeavours   The Bureau of Lost Culture Home   Go on - follow, rate and review us - or be in touch directly bureauoflostculture@gmail.com We'd love to hear from you. -------------

Spegillinn 19. júní. Það er stál í stál í kjaraviðræðum við sveitarfélögin, segir formaður Starfsgreinasambandsins eftir samningafund í morgun. Sveitarfélögin neiti að færa lífeyrisréttindi til jafns við borgina og ríkið. Tveir mánuðir eru í næsta samningafund. Mjaldrasysturnar Litla-Hvít og Litla-Grá eru nú á leið til Landeyjahafnar en þaðan verða þær fluttar til Vestmannaeyja í kvöld. Stjórnvöld í Moskvu gagnrýna harkalega niðurstöðu alþjóðlegrar rannsóknarnefndar vegna flugvélarinnar MH17 sem skotin var niður í Úkraínu fyrir fimm árum. Þriðja hvert barn í bænum Tasiilaq á Grænlandi verður fyrir kynferðislegu ofbeldi og fimmti hver bæjarbúi sviptir sig lífi. Íslenskar konur fengu kosningarétt og kjörgengi 19. júní fyrir 104 árum. Í tilefni dagsins rifjum við upp eina þrautseigustu og frægustu friðarbaráttu sem konur hafa staðið fyrir þegar konur dvöldu fyrir utan Greenham Common herstöðina í Englandi í 19 ár til að mótmæla kjarnorkuvopnavæðingu.

Agriculture wants UAVs, the White House seeks drone data transparency, a wearable quadcopter, UAVs fight poachers, and Facebook plans to offer Internet access via drone. News FAA's Sluggish UAV Ruling Slows Ag Research, Group Suggests Commercial farmers everywhere are eager to apply new technology to their operations. That includes using unmanned aircraft for things like crop and livestock surveys, monitoring irrigation needs, and pest control. Farmers in Louisiana as well as representatives from Louisiana State University's AgCenter have formed a 17-member study group headed by a state Senator. They want to make recommendations to the FAA before it issues UAS regulations. White House plans to require federal agencies to provide details about drones The Obama Administration is circulating a draft Executive Order that if signed would make government use of drones more transparent. The Order would apply to federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, the Pentagon, the Justice Department, NASA, the Interior Department, and the Commerce Department. It would require that they provide information about the size of their fleet, how it is used, and what is done with the data collected.

But Hollywood is not much better - a recent study found that less than 10 per cent of its directors were women.So why are there so few women film-makers? Sarah Montague puts that question to Beeban Kidron, one of the few women to have made the big time. She is perhaps best-known for directing the second Bridget Jones movie, The Edge of Reason. But most of her other films concern far more radical material: a documentary about the anti-nuclear women protesters at Greenham Common, a TV adaptation of the lesbian novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit.
