Podcasts about muscovy

When most of us think about poultry, our minds often turn to chickens, the staple of farms and dinner tables worldwide. However, Nigeria is home to several other fascinating types of poultry beyond the humble chicken that have played significant roles in the country's agriculture, culture, and economy. While these poultry species are firmly embedded in the Nigerian agricultural system, the history of how and when these animals came to be domesticated and where these populations originally derived from is often obscure. Recent research conducted by Dr. Adeniyi Charles Adeola of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and colleagues, has shed new light on three often-overlooked poultry species, the Muscovy duck, the domestic pigeon, and the helmeted guinea fowl. These birds not only offer valuable genetic resources but also hold keys to food security, sustainable farming, and biodiversity conservation.

Ivan Mazepa is a renowned Ukrainian leader who made significant contributions to the flourishing of Ukrainian culture and the Cossack state in the late 17th century. Because of his desire for Ukraine's freedom from Muscovy, Mazepa aligned himself with the Swedish king Charles XII in a war against the Russian tsar Peter I, ultimately losing the decisive battle near Poltava in seventeen o nine However, in the 19th century, Mazepa became a prominent cultural figure. George Gordon Byron, Victor Hugo, Juliusz Słowacki, Franz Liszt, and Eugène Delacroix created poems, musical compositions, and paintings depicting him as a young man, a political and sexual rebel. This portrayal of Mazepa gained popularity globally, reaching as far as South Africa and the United States. We delved into this story with Tony Voss, a South African university professor, Professor Emeritus and research associate of the University of Kwazulu-Natal, Durban, and Nelson Mandela University, Gqeberha, South Africa Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, and the president of PEN Ukraine.

Edition No69 | 26-12-2024 - What is Christmas like, when your neighbour is a terrorist state, run without challenge or hindrance by a delusional imperialist and pervert, hooked on aggression and suffering? Russia launched a massive Christmas day attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, and civilian residential targets in numerous cities, leaving more than half a million people without heating, water and electricity. Temperatures across Ukraine are around freezing point. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- Zelenskyy, President of Ukrainian spoke with direct moral clarity when he condemned the attack as ‘inhuman'. This was the 13th large-scale assault in 2024, on the energy grid of Ukraine, in what Zelenskyy said was a deliberate series of strikes. “This was not a coincidence. What could be more inhuman?” He wrote on X. But it's also entirely predictable. Putin always lashes out after press conferences, or visits to his court by foreign dignitaries, and of course, special dates such as Christmas hold a special fascination for his perverse mind. Attacks at Christmas and New Year as well as on significant anniversaries are entirely predictable, as is Russia's raging desire to instil fear in its enemies, and those it seeks to control and plunder. About 50 of the 70 missiles fired were intercepted, as well as a ‘significant' number of more than 100 attack drones launched by Russia, on this, the celebration of Christ's birth. Oleh Syniehubov, governor of Ukraine's eastern Kharkiv region, explained that the attack had left more than 500,000 people without heating, water and electricity at Christmas. Russia is not just a terrorist state, but also, it's claims to be Christian one is barely plausible, given its actions of the last three years, and the genocidal character of its regime, which is enthusiastically supported and sanctified by the Moscow Patriarch, and former KGB agent. President Joe Biden said in a statement “The Ukrainian people deserve to live in peace and safety, and the United States and the international community must continue to stand with Ukraine until it triumphs over Russia's aggression.” Biden also reaffirmed his instruction to the Department of Defence “to continue its surge of weapons deliveries to Ukraine”. ---------- NEWS SOURCES: https://www.ft.com/content/b7b2c8d9-8eed-4620-adfe-a99e696a1dd4 https://kyivindependent.com/russia-terrorizes-ukraine-with-mass-missile-drone-attack-on-christmas-morning/ https://kyivindependent.com/the-west-is-pushing-ukraine-toward-concessions-that-will-backfire/ https://kyivindependent.com/kellogg-condemns-russias-mass-attack-against-ukraine-on-christmas-day/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Welcome to the third collaboration between Deep in the Weeds' Producers podcast and AgriCultured, a festival which showcases and connects the produce and people of northern Tasmania, or Lutruwita as it's called in Aboriginal culture. This is a special part of the world, with beautiful, fertile lands, true seasons, and rich traditions. Many farmers are on generational properties but others - like today's guest - are producer newbies.  Our first podcast in this series is with duck farmer Bec Rumble, from Lone Goose Farm in the Meander Valley. Like many small farmers in northern Tassie, she's a corporate escapee from the ‘big island', having moved from Melbourne with her husband Paul, and learning a lot about Muscovy ducks very, very quickly. Join us as we meet their ‘lone goose' Gayle and hear a fascinating farming story. https://lonegoosefarm.com.au/ https://www.agricultured.com.au/ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Dani Valent  https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork The Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..

Jaakko Björklund from Helsinki University tells the story of mutiny and unrest in the Swedish Army during the Ingrian War against Muscovy in 1609-1617. He identifies the sources of disconent among the domestic and foreign troups, it's expressions, and explains how it was handled by the officers. This is a story of army (in)discipline in the time when Sweden went from supporting the Muscovite state to campaigning to absorb chunks of its territory.

We also cover a pantry update, the weekly shopping report, operation independence and more. UPDATE FROM Fountain.fm Doggonit Girl - A True Cook With What You Have Moment I listened to this twice. Love the format. I made a version of the tomato soup. Thank you for reminding me that the garden is so tasty. I found the solution to too much trombocino. I just had a baby Muscovy deficiency. They are like a school of pirahna on the seed ball end. I quarter it. They get two quarters twice a day. I have very little rind left. Grated trombocino and the tomato soup, with an immersion blender makes quite the hearty soup. Too much habanero! Bring out the sour cream.

Waterfowl like this Muscovy duckling spend up to 30 days in the egg, so they're able to walk, swim, and feed themselves as soon as they hatch. We call these chicks precocial. By contrast, the chicks of most songbirds spend less time maturing in the egg. They must continue to develop in the nest before heading out on their own. We call these hatchlings altricial since they depend on their parents to care for them.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

In the current context, where Vladimir Putin justifies his war against Ukraine by insisting on an inevitable, unbroken teleology that binds Kyiv to Moscow, he need to critically reexamine such interpretations is painfully evident.  Christian Raffensperger and Donald Ostrowski's book The Ruling Families of Rus: Clan, Family and Kingdom (Reaktion Books, 2023) takes a brave and important step in that direction by charting a history of Kyivan Rus' through the framework of a history of families. The Ruling Families of Rus is not polemical; rather, through an erudite and trenchant exploration of the region's history through local families and the marriages that manifested their priorities and strategies, this book reveals a fascinating history that brings us much closer to how ruling elites at the time approached and understood their world while also including women in histories that have often been told by “reading past” the roles women played. In short, this fascinating examination of the development of Rus, Lithuania, Muscovy, and Tver and their relationships with the Mongols, Byzantines, and others reveals a history close to the sources and quite different from the one Vladimir Putin tells. The Ruling Families of Rus will appeal to scholars interested in the medieval history of eastern Europe. It contains beautifully produced illustrations and contextualized stories that will be a treasured resource for those who teach about this region and period. Have a listen to this conversation to get a sense of why.

Subjected, downtrodden, brutalised. The principality of Muscovy had long suffered at the hands of the Mongols. But as their overlords weaken, their ruler, Ivan the Great, begins to lead the Muscovites to freedom. Come 1533, it is time for his descendant, Ivan the Terrible to rule. A man known to enjoy hanging people by their ribs, and drowning people under river ice, will his taste for torture throw everything into chaos? Or will he expel the Mongols once and for all, laying the foundations of the Russian Empire? Listen as William and Anita are joined by Simon Sebag Montefiore to discuss the early days of Russia and its empire.

Counter protests gain traction in France And back here, a Muscovy duck is captured after trying to make Wellington's Basin Reserve home

A Wellington woman says she could have never predicted she'd make a sprawling catch to rein in one of the most famous names in New Zealand Cricket this week. A Muscovy duck named Sophie Devine was scooped up by concerned animal lovers, after she'd made herself at home in the capital's Basin Reserve cricket ground. Bill Hickman reports.

This interview delves into a book that is indebted to the scholarly work with which New Books Network founder, Marshall Poe, began his career: ‘A People Born to Slavery': Russia in Early Modern European Ethnography, 1476–1748 (Cornell UP, 2000), a seminal critical study of perceptions of Russia as derived from early modern foreigners' accounts. Between the late fifteenth and early eighteenth centuries, the State of Muscovy emerged from being a rather homogenous Russian-speaking and Orthodox medieval principality to becoming a multi-ethnic and multi-religious empire. Not only the conquest of the neighboring Tatar Khanates and the colonization of Siberia demanded the integration of non-Christian populations into the Russian state. The ethnic composition of the capital and other towns also changed due to Muscovite policies of recruiting soldiers, officers, and specialists from various European countries, as well as the accommodation of merchants and the resettlement of war prisoners and civilians from annexed territories. The presence of foreign immigrants was accompanied by controversy and conflicts, which demanded adaptations not only in the Muscovite legal, fiscal, and economic systems but also in the everyday life of both native citizens and immigrants. This book combines two major research fields on international relations in the State of Muscovy: the migration, settlement, and integration of Western Europeans, and Russian and European perceptions of the respective "other".

Not only the conquest of the neighboring Tatar Khanates and the colonization of Siberia demanded the integration of non-Christian populations into the Russian state. The ethnic composition of the capital and other towns also changed due to Muscovite policies of recruiting soldiers, officers, and specialists from various European countries, as well as the accommodation of merchants and the resettlement of war prisoners and civilians from annexed territories. The presence of foreign immigrants was accompanied by controversy and conflicts, which demanded adaptations not only in the Muscovite legal, fiscal, and economic systems but also in the everyday life of both native citizens and immigrants. This book combines two major research fields on international relations in the State of Muscovy: the migration, settlement, and integration of Western Europeans, and Russian and European perceptions of the respective "other".

The Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) is a large duck native to the Americas, from the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and Mexico south to Argentina and Uruguay. Small wild and feral breeding populations have established themselves in the United States, particularly in Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, the Big Island of Hawaii, as well as in many other parts of North America, including southern Canada.

Last week, a law being pushed through the Georgian Parliament modelled on Russian legislation designed to curtail freedom of speech and stifle dissent was prevented through the pressure of public protest. The so-called 'foreign agents' law would require some organisations to list themselves as receiving funds from abroad, essentially flagging them as a threat to the state and society. Russia should pay attention – public protest can force change, if carried out on an appropriate scale and pursued with vigour. But the struggle against creeping authoritarianism and Russification has not been won, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Central Asia are all a focus of Moscow's desire to influence and control the political narrative in its near-abroad (ex-colonial space). But what happens when power in Moscow centre weakens? When people no longer fear the power and threat of Muscovy? ~~~~~ Aleksandar Djokic has a PhD in political science from RUDN Moscow.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 2nd of March, 2023, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”John 8:36If Jesus has made us free then we need to stay free and not go back to Egypt, but we say, “It is so hard walking on this road.” We say, “It's very tough. Why did we come out of Egypt?” Now, you will find that scripture in Numbers 11:20:Why did we ever come up out of Egypt? You see, the road to eternal life is hard and it is narrow and few walk on it.“Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:14It leads to eternal life. In the desert of life, God teaches you and me to think out of the box. That's right. He teaches us to improvise. He toughens us up. He has to let us go through these times so that we grow strong, and not be led like sheep to the slaughter. I remember many years ago as a young man listening to a message, I have never forgotten this picture. The preacher said that there is a flock of wild geese and they are flying high and free. They go wherever they want to go. There is no slave driver over them. Yes, it is tough and it is hard and they are lean and sometimes very hungry, but they are free to go wherever they desire. Then we have the Muscovy duck who is pent up in a chicken run getting fed as much as he can eat but he is going nowhere fast. By the way, he is getting fattened up for the pot. He is running up and down that hen run, flapping those little wings of his which would not be able to carry him anywhere when he hears the cry of the wild geese flying overhead. You and I are never ever going back to the fleshpots of Egypt, where it seems so comfortable. Jesus has made us free and we are heading home. That's right, we are flying to Heaven, and we are going to get there because He is going ahead of us. Today, do not compromise your freedom for a plate of lentil soup like Esau did when he gave away his inheritance because he was hungry.Jesus bless you today as you keep heading home,Goodbye.

We discuss the vulture of the duck world, The Muscovy Duck. Stan tells us who will be broadcasting the NFL games this year. Mike from Absolute Law joins us in studio to answer your legal questions. Name That Movie. And more...

  With the devastating invasion of the Emir Temür, better known as Tamerlane, in 1395, the Golden Horde had suffered a grievous wound. Its armies were dealt crushing defeats; its Khan Toqtamish was sent fleeing for his life; and the major cities of the Horde had all been sacked by the Timurids. The Horde was now held together with a  wish and prayer, and in the hands of the powerful lord Edigü. Today in our final episode on the Golden Horde, we take you through its slow breakup in the century after Tamerlane's attack. I'm your host David, and this is Kings and Generals: Ages of Conquest.   We should note that the fall of the Golden Horde was not a single moment or event. 1380, 1395, 1480 or 1502 are not simply switches where the Golden Horde ceased to exist. Rather, it was a centuries long process, with edges of the empire breaking away or being reclaimed, while multiple claimants for power fought each other and sometimes succeeded in reunifying parts or all of the khanates. Rather than a sudden collapse, it was more like waves ebbing to and fro with the tide, and as they withdraw, they pull back a bit further each time, only to in time not return at all.   The Golden Horde of the fifteenth century was a very different beast from the one Öz Beg had ruled in the early fourteenth century. Steadily, though not immediately the cities of the steppe along rivers like the Volga diminished in size and were largely abandoned. Even Sarai, thoroughly sacked by Tamerlane, remained the nominal capital and continued to be fought over for generations. The overland international trade networks which had once so enriched the Jochid khans dried up as the route across Asia became too dangerous, and the merchants who still made the trek were redirected elsewhere. Rounds of bubonic plague still struck on occasion, and with the end of the medieval warm period, the steppe environment itself steadily became less accommodating with colder winters and less productive grasslands. It was not the end to animal husbandry or even agriculture in the steppe, but it was no longer the great, organized system enjoyed by the Jochids in their heyday. Political instability marked the region accordingly; whereas from Batu until the 1360s the Jochid Khans had maintained peace throughout the steppes, now rival claimants raided or invaded each other, at times annually. While Tamerlane did not end the Golden Horde, his attack aggravated and worsened these problems. The ten years of relative peace Toqtamish had overseen as khan had simply not been long enough to recover from the previous two decades of troubles, and now each problem reared its ugly head once more.   After Tamerlane's withdrawal in 1396, he left the state reeling in his wake. Toqtamish Khan had survived, but his armies were broken. Tamerlane had installed a new khan, Quyurchuq, a son of Urus Khan, but Quyurchuq had little authority without Tamerlane's presence. Edigü, a non-Chinggisid lord and leader of the Manghit peoples, quickly maneuvered Quyurchuq Khan out of the way, and installed his own puppet, a distant relation of Toqtamish named Temür Qutlugh. Edigü was a wily figure, a skilled politician and one of the wealthiest, most powerful lords within the Golden Horde. Long had he fought Toqtamish, first alongside Urus Khan, and then alongside Tamerlane. Once Tamerlane began to withdraw from the Horde for the final time, Edigü promptly betrayed him and began gathering his own forces to overthrow Tamerlane's puppet.    Edigü, as a non-Chinggisid, could not claim the title of khan himself. But by making the khans dependent on him for power and military support, Edigü could hold real authority over the realm. As beylerbeyi,  Edigü commanded immense influence among the qarachu families; that is, the non-Chinggisid military elite, those generally bore the title of beğ (pronounced as bey). Every khan that Edigü would enthrone had to confirm Edigü as beylerbeyi, the bey of beys; which Khan Temür Qutlugh promptly did. This gave  Edigü an institution position akin to vizier or commander-in-chief, “advising” the khan to do exactly what  Edigü wished. In turn the khan continued to function in a more ceremonial role and remained official head-of-state, and his name continued to be minted on coinage. No matter how powerful Edigü might be, in the steppes the prestige of Chinggisid rulership was too strong to be cast aside, and attempting to rule in his own right would have presumably resulted in open rebellion against him. Almost two hundred years since Chinggis Khan's death, his spectre still loomed large over Asia.   Edigü and Temür Qutlugh's confirmation took place not a moment too soon, for Toqtamish and his sons were in the midst of collecting forces to retake the khanate. Assisted by the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Vytautas the Great, Toqtamish and his Lithuanian allies invaded the Golden Horde in 1399, only to be defeated but Temür Qutlugh Khan and Edigü at the Vorskla  River in 1399. The battle solidified Edigü's dominance, with Vytautas' army annihilated, many Lithuanian princes killed and both Vytautas and Toqtamish sent fleeing for their lives. Though Toqtamish continued to seek the throne until his death in 1406, it was clear that Edigü was too strong to be ousted so quickly. And lest Temür Qutlugh Khan have grown too haughty after such a victory, he died in unclear circumstances soon after the battle. Edigü then enthroned Temür Qutlugh's brother, Shadi Beğ, as khan.   Under Edigü's stewardship, efforts were made to stabilize the Golden Horde. He retook Khwarezm after Tamerlane's death, often raided the Rus' principalities and laid siege to Moscow in 1408, sparing the city in exchange for a ransom of 3,000 rubles. Some economic recovery is indicated from the restarting of mints in some of the Horde's major cities. A considerable quantity of coinage entered the markets, some of it quite high quality, a sign of Edigü's effort to jump-start the economy. To help legitimize himself in light of his lack of Chinggisid credentials, Edigü made himself the standard bearer of Islamization of the remainder of the nomadic population, continuing the process begun by Özbeg. He went as far as to claim descent from the sufi shaykh  Baba Tükles, a mythical figure who in popular legend had converted Özbeg to Islam. As in turn Baba Tükles was supposed to be descended from the Caliphs, this gave Edigü an ancient, if almost entirely fictitious, pedigree. Still, descent from the successors of Muhammad was useful when portraying oneself as an almighty Muslim monarch and a champion of Islam.    But powerful as Edigü was, his might was not supreme. His puppet khan Shadi Beğ did not enjoy being a puppet and sought to remove Edigü from the scene. Learning of the plot, Edigü routed and chased Shadi Beğ from the Horde. He then enthroned Shadi Beğ's nephew, Bulad, a son of the late Temür Qutlugh. This relationship was likewise fraught; according to the Rus' Nikonian Chronicle, Edigü had to rush to lift his siege of Moscow when he learned that Bulad had grown irate at Edigü. When Bulad died in 1410, Edigü then enthroned Bulad's brother Temür. Khan Temür proved even less amenable to Edigü, for upon becoming khan Temür refused to confirm Edigü as beylerbeyi, the institution which gave Edigü his power. Edigü's supporters abandoned him as Temür sought to capture him, his armies pursuing Edigü to Khwarezm. Nearly was Edigü's life forfeit, until he was saved by an unlikely source; Jalal al-Din, known to the Rus' as the Zeleni Sultan, and a son of the late Toqtamish Khan. Jalal al-Din had aided Duke Vytautas of Lithuania against the Teutonic Order at the famous battle of Grünwald in 1410, and in turn for his support was provided troops to assist him in reclaiming the Horde. While Temür Khan's armies had Edigü under siege in Khwarezm, the khan himself was killed by Jalal al-Din bin Toqtamish. News of it reached Temür Khan's generals, who lost heart and dissipated while Jalal al-Din was enthroned as Khan in Sarai, inadvertently saving Edigü's life.   After years of dreaming for the position and restoring his family to honour, Jalal al-Din Khan had accomplished his greatest desire, and could begin the hunt for Edigü… until he was murdered by his brother, Qibaq, in October 1412.  Another brother, Kerim Berdi, took the throne, while Qibaq, backed by Vyautas of Lithuania, challenged him for it. The only thing which had held these brothers together had been their father and the quest for the throne; with the throne now theirs, they tore themselves apart for it.    The 1410s and 20s went on in this fashion, highly reminiscent of the tumultuous 1360s and 70s. Kerim Berdi killed Qibaq in battle, only for both Edigü and Vytautas to declare new khans. Vytautas had another of Toqtamish's sons, Jabbar Berdi, declared khan in Vilnius, while Edigü chose another Tuqa-Temürid, Chekre. Cherke seized Sarai, only for Jabbar Berdi to kill Kerim Berdi, take Sarai and chase out Edigü's candidate. And that situation lasted until one of Kerim Berdi's sons, Sayyid Ahmad I, was declared khan and threw out Jabbar Berdi. And the pattern continued, with Vytautas and Edigü both declaring new khans immediately upon learning the news. This went on until 1419, when one of the last of Toqtamish's sons, Kadir Berdi, and Edigü himself, were finally killed in battle.   The 1420s proved no better in the aftermath of Edigü's death. A man named Muhammad was enthroned as Khan, but his identity in uncertain, and could possibly be a number of notable Chinggisids who bore the name. In the 1420s the khan in Sarai became just one khan amongst several, and so passed a bewildering number of khans, the order and lengths of the reigns of which are a continuous subject of debate. While more ambitious khans dreamed of reinvigorating the Horde, the borders of the state broke away, with the Timurids, for instance, retaking Khwarezm. The situation stabilized slightly over the 1430s as three main powers emerged; east of the Ural river, Abu'l Khayr Khan, founder of the Uzbek Khanate; Küchük Muhammad Khan, a grandson of Temür Qutlugh, in the Volga steppe, and Sayyid Ahmed II Khan, another Tuqa-Temürid, west of the Don River. Küchük Muhammad's nearly twenty year reign, from 1435-1459, is when scholarship begins to call the state the Great Horde, to distinguish it from its neighbours, the newly emerging successor khanates.        While Küchük Muhammad is usually designated the most ‘legitimate' khan of the Golde Horde, at least in scholarship, each of the competing khans in these years saw themselves as the actual ruler of the Horde. Each tended to demand the Rus' princes pay tribute to them, a source of much confusion and fear for the Rus', who watched closely the political developments. The Rus' were not idle spectators or skillfully playing off the khans, for they spent much of these years locked in their own lengthy civil wars. The Grand Prince, Vasili II Vasilivich, still had to flee his capital due to Mongol attacks, and was even captured by troops of Ulugh Muhammad Khan. Regularly, the Rus' still paid annual tribute to the Khan of the Great Horde.   But even the relatively calm 1430s were no salve for the unity of the Horde, and the fragmentation continued, with both the emergence of more Chinggisid and non-Chinggisid polities. Kazan, in the lands of the Volga Bulghars, became an independent realm under the heirs of Ulugh Muhammad Khan, who had been khan of the Golden Horde until his ouster in 1438. Along the Ural River emerged the Nogai Horde under the sons of Edigü. As Edigü's sons belonged to the Manghit clan, the ruling strata of the Nogai Horde, you will sometimes see this Horde called the Manghit yurt or ulus. North of the Nogais emerged a proper Khanate of Sibir, or Siberian Khanate, ruled by a branch of the Shibanids. In 1459 on the death of Küchük Muhammad, Khan of the Great Horde, he sought to divide the khanate between his sons Mahmud and Ahmad. But Ahmad soon chased out Mahmud, who fled to Hajji Tarkhan, modern Astrakhan at the Volga Delta. Mahmud and his sons turned Astrakhan into their powerbase, and in turn its own independent khanate. In the far east, the newly emerged Uzbek Khanate fell into internal fighting after the death of Abu'l Khayr Khan, which led to a group of young princes breaking off and founding the rival Kazakh Khanate in the 1450s. In 1442, Crimea and the surrounding steppes came under the rule of Sayyid Ahmad II Khan's nephew, Hajji Giray, establishing the Crimean Khanate's long ruling Giray Dynasty. Hajji Giray, and his son Mengli Giray, dedicated their lives to the hatred of the heirs of Küchük Muhammad, whose line monopolized the position of Khans of the ever declining Great Horde. For over twenty years, Hajji Giray fought repeatedly with Küchük Muhammad's son, Ahmad Khan. Ahmad enjoyed few successes; his alliance with Poland against the Crimean Khan brought little help, while the Nogais and other khanates and Hordes bordering him raided his lands, splitting his attention in every direction. His situation was further hampered with the obstinence of the new Grand Prince of the Rus', Ivan III of Moscow.    Ivan III brought Moscow out of its lengthy period of civil war, and renewed the drive to dominate  the other principalities. Like his predecessors, Ivan III had recognized the overlordship of the Khan. But he also recognized the reality of the situation, for he maintained diplomacy with the other emerging khans, particularly the Crimean.  From the 1440s onwards there had been gaps in the deliverance of Rus' tribute to the Horde,  becoming ever more spotty upon Ivan's official ascension in 1462, culminating in 1471 when Ivan ceased the payment of tribute altogether. Ahmad Khan frequently sent messengers to Ivan demanding the resumption of the tribute, or for Ivan to come and reaffirm his submission in person. The ever more frustrated Ahmad Khan, surrounded and beleaguered by powerful rivals, needed this Rus' tribute. His first march on Moscow in 1472 was aborted, and ordered another attack on Ivan in 1480 in cooperation with his Polish ally, King Casimir IV. Ivan III did not back down, and sent his army to repel the khan. The two foes faced off across the Ugra River over the summer and into the autumn of 1480. Khan Ahmad waited in vain for Casimir, who never arrived. Arrows were shot, arquebuses were fired; Ivan worried the river would soon freeze and allow Ahmad free passage, but Ahmad retreated first, downtrodden his ally had failed to show. His son Murteza raided Moscow territory as they withdrew, and Ahmad was murdered the next year.       So ended the Great Stand on the Ugra River, a much overemphasized staring contest. Only centuries later did chronicles see it as an epoch in the independence of the Rus'. It did not directly affect either parties' standing, and to contemporaries was simply another scuffle amidst hundreds. Twenty years later after the Ugra stand, Ivan sent a message to Ahmad's son and successor, Shaykh Ahmad Khan, inquiring about resuming their earlier relationship in the midst of a fierce round of struggle with Lithuania. From 1474 to 1685, Moscow sent annual tributes, under the name of pominki, to the Crimean Khans. But raids and attacks by the khans were no longer as devastating as they had once been, with the expansion of better defensive networks by the Rus', including more stone fortifications and ever-improving firearms technology. Seemingly, the armies of the Khans no longer came with such overwhelming forces, and the chronicles which once spoke of Toqta's brother Duden handily destroying 14 cities across Rus', begin to describe the Rus' repelling or pursuing Tatar raiders. Assaults on cities, such as Ahmad's brother Mahmud Khan's failed siege of Ryazan' in 1460, were beaten back with heavy losses on the part of the attackers. In other cases, the Khans fell prey to other khans; Mahmud's 1465 attack on Rus' was intercepted by an army of the Crimean Khan Hajji Giray, who often allied with Moscow against the Great Horde. The khans of the Horde no longer enjoyed a monopoly on military power. Instead of masters of the steppe, they were now members within a political system, facing off with rivals of comparable power, while their own might had shrunk considerably. The khan could no longer unilaterally oppose his will.        After Ahmad Khan's death in 1481, his sons attempted to act as co-rulers but were soon at each other's throats, further weakening the Great Horde while their rivals grew in might. Shaykh Ahmad bin Ahmad Khan emerged the victor. While he had aspirations of reuniting the Horde, his efforts proved futile. Shaykh Ahmad Khan's reign proved to be one of disaster. His cousin in Astrakhan openly defied him; Ivan III of Moscow allied with Mengli Giray of Crimea against the Great Horde. In an effort to outflank Moscow and Crimea, Shaykh Ahmad sought to restore the military alliance with Lithuania, but no great support ever came of it. Rounds of plague and bad seasons further harmed the Horde's cities, pasture lands and crops; harsh winters and poor grazing resulted in the deaths of thousands of horses almost every year of the 1490s. Famine weakened his forces, destroyed his herds and caused thousands to flee to neighbouring khanates. By the start of the sixteenth century Shaykh Ahmad was desperate, and in winter 1501 he led his underfed and weakened army in one last gamble, seeking to push west of the Dnieper for greener pasture. But he was trapped in a vicious snowstorm, and cut off from the rest of his forces. His demoralized army suffered for months, and began to trickle off to the territory of the Crimean Khan, Mengli Giray. Shaykh Ahmad suffered his own personal losses; already depressed from the failure of the Lithuanians to arrive, Shaykh Ahmad watched the last of his brothers fall ill and die.  As Mengli Giray summoned the entirety of his forces to crush the khan, Shaykh Ahmad's will finally broke when his own wife abandoned him with much of his family and most of his remaining troops— to join Mengli Giray. When Mengli Giray met Ahmad near the Dnieper in June 1502, the Khan of the Great Horde, who in the time of Özbeg was allegedly capable of raising 300,000 men, was caught with a paltry 20,000. Chased from the field, his palace ordu looted, Shaykh Ahmad Khan spent the rest of his life on the run, and spent much of his last twenty years in Lithuania a political prisoner. So, according to traditional scholarship, did the humiliating career of the final Khan of the Great Horde end, and traditionally 1502 serves as the end date for the Golden Horde.       However, in recent decades this view has been challenged. Historians like Leslie Collins have demonstrated thoroughly how after 1502 Mengli Giray dramatically grew in strength and began to style himself as Great Khan of the Great Horde; a claim recognized in diplomacy by his Ottoman overlord, the Rus', the Poles and the Lithuanians. What is now argued is that, to contemporaries, the Great Horde did not end in 1502; the throne was simply taken by another branch of the dynasty, as it had so many times before. Absorbing the remnants of the Great Horde's lands, troops and wealth, the power of the Crimean Khans grew considerably as they expanded eastwards into the former heart of Shaykh Ahmad Khan's realm. By the 1520s under Mengli's son, Mehmed, their influence stretched past the Volga as they put candidates onto the thrones of Kazan and Astrakhan. In a sense, the Horde was briefly reestablished. However, Mehmed was killed by Nogais in 1523, who then raided as far as Crimea, precipitating years of internal fighting for the Crimean throne and leading to the Ottomans taking greater control over the Crimean succession. Meanwhile without a common enemy in the form of the Great Horde the Crimean alliance with Moscow quickly frayed. The Princes of Moscow, now masters of Rus', were eager to gain access to the Volga trade, and take advantage of the weakness of the Volga Khanates, particularly under Ivan IV and his crusade-minded advisers. In 1552 the first khanate, Kazan, fell to Ivan's armies; Astrakhan followed in 1554.  It is Ivan IV, by the way, who is popularly known as Ivan Grozny, or Ivan the Terrible, and who in 1547 took the imperial title of Tsar, a derivation of Latin Caesar. During the dominance of the Golden Horde, Tsar had been the title reserved for the Khans, whereas the Rus' princes were knyaz. What Ivan was signalling, in a way, was that the now the Prince of Moscow had replaced the Jochid khan as master of the Rus'.       The powerful Crimean Khan Devlet I Giray sought to halt Moscow's expansion, with yearly raids and in 1571, even succeeded in capturing and burning down Moscow. This brief victory was followed by a humiliating defeat at Molodni the next year. The Crimean Khans reluctantly ceded control of the former eastern lands of the Golden Horde to Moscow. This last campaign proved to be the final great success of steppe armies over the Rus'. In the following decades, the Russian Tsardom soon stretched deep into Siberia. The continuous warfare of the fourteen and fifteenth centuries, coupled with epidemics and environmental stresses, left for the Russians nothing but depopulated, weakened khanates to pick off one by one; only to the south, in the great steppe, did the Crimean Khans armies stop Russian expansion; an expansion halted, as much as anything, by logistical difficulties in crossing the steppe, and threat of Ottoman support for the Crimean Khanate, rather than any military capability on the part of the Crimeans. Though the Crimean Khanate launched continuous raids on the southern frontier of Muscovy, Lithuania, Poland and assisted the Ottomans in campaigns into Eastern and Central Europe, they were no longer unassailable. Raids sent on Moscow's order, or undertaken by the fiercely Cossack hosts who now roamed the steppes, now penetrated into the Crimean peninsula itself.   Still, they clung on. Over the 1700s the Russian Empire steadily encroached and isolated Crimea, while Ottoman support became ever more tepid. Only in 1783 was the Crimean Khanate finally annexed by Empress Catherine the Great, shortly after the Russians had essentially ended its political independence. The final Crimean Khan, Şahin Giray, was executed a few years later by the Ottomans. When the Kazakh Khanates were finally dissolved by the Russians in the following century, so with them went the last vestiges of the Golden Horde, and the Mongol Empire.        So ends our history of the Golden Horde, and in turn the Mongol Empire.

What's up bro? To be back with you talking about important stuff. Yeah, I when I texted you the other sent you a message on Instagram the other day. I was like what's up didn't really notice just watching the world burn just like everybody else and I'm like 00:01:06Yeah, so we can get into that while before we get started. Can you show me where people can find your work, social media website, whatever it is. You want to plug? Sure. You can find it on sea hero, paranormal.com. You can also find my books, the Utah UFO Ranch, and shapeshifter territory on Amazon and a little science project I have going on at space Wolf research.com., What's been the latest with that dude? Are you writing? Any new books? Did you ever write that book on consciousness? 00:01:42So not really I started it. I'm about a hundred pages in. I've got a couple of books that it it's really weird man cuz 00:01:54You know, I'm scared to release them basically, but it was a bad idea on the Vegas shooting. I mean as near as I can tell. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen and 00:02:06The other one like you said his unconsciousness. I'm kind of waiting to do that because I think I think In Our Lifetime we're going to crack we're going to we're going to kind of crack the nut to this whole Matrix Consciousness question. And I think it's dangerously close. So, you know, maybe I'm wrong but I'm just kind of waiting on that and I'm getting input from other people and working with people they have more more to offer to the big picture and and I've been having some really strange but yeah, a lot of strange things happening on all fronts, for sure. I think we're getting closer to answering this whole Matrix deconstruction. We're picking away at it like literally picking away at the nuts and bolts of it. And you can tell when you start doing that bad. 00:02:55It's aware whatever the universal Consciousness is, or the program or the alien, artificial intelligence. Whatever you want to call it. You know, the higher power, there's many names for the same. 00:03:08Mystery and it's it is it becomes aware when you start pulling at the threads of reality? Absolutely. 00:03:19That concept of threads, I just did an episode. 00:03:25With a friend of mine, Jeffrey from the functionally dysfunctional, show. And yeah, we talked, he was an ex evangelist and he talked about how they would all about thread and eventually gets the point where they keep pulling at the thread and it's all gone and they figure out it's all bullshit and I can't imagine the feeling of putting everything you've had until 1. 00:03:53Until one thing, whatever, that may be a hobby career, whatever it is, and then figuring out that in the end, it's all bulshit. Right? And right, you're talkin about. 00:04:07Do you think they said the same thing in the seventies and in the 50s and in the twenties? You think where they were? Hey, I think we're going to crack this. I think the other you think people were as open to that back then and then especially well maybe in the fifties I would say. Cuz of all the Roswell and all that bush that was going on. Then you think they were saying the same thing. Like maybe we're going to crack this code. Oh for sure. And I think we probably have cracked the code multiple times throughout human existence and then there's another great reset, you know, and everybody's left scrambling in the Dust trying to find 00:04:47Tidbits of information to start over. It's just the Human Experience. And you know to give you an idea like this is just a, for instance, an example. My my wife is a very, very skeptical, reasonable. Not. Woo, woo, person at all. Come to the club, bro. That's a good litmus test to have a mate or a partner like that. The kind of, you know, checks you and caress you and keeps you grounded. And, you know, I had a, I had a call from a caretaker at this science project, I have going on and and he, he told me a situation where he woke up in the middle of the night. He heard, you know, what the voice. 00:05:35Say hey and he woke up and then he hurt his car. Alarm, go on outside. He went outside. There's nothing out there. 00:05:43Needless to say he's in an area of a lot more High strangeness than I am at my home. And the caretaker went outside turned off, his car alarm came back inside. 00:05:54Again, same thing happened again. He went out again. No, Critters around the car. Nothing. So something was trying to engage with him. I told my wife the story. She was like that. That there's a lot of thinking this would be just south of it within a golf swing is the way I like to explain it to throw a rock at it. You can pretty much there's no part of that Rance. You can't virtually see from this property. So 00:06:24It's it. Pops close enough and it functions. Anyway, what went down as well. Fast forward, just a little while and she was sitting, this is just a couple days ago. She was sitting in the kitchen with my two children, and I was coming down the stairs and I heard it as well. 00:06:50And it sounded like a loudspeaker in the kitchen and it was a woman's voice. And she said, hey. 00:06:57Oh, okay. 00:06:59And then it went off. What the heck was that? Knowing? You think maybe I'm getting chills right now, bro. Yeah, it freaked me out so hard because nothing we have would do that and it it you know, it got everybody's attention. It was loud enough. It sounded like the p a in a school and it just sounded like, you know, The Truman Show like, oh my gosh, all sudden, you know, it was through the glitch of some sort. And you know what you think it is and it's a fine point where you don't have an explanation much like Ariel unidentified phenomena and you know things you see it in the in the trees like cryptozoological variants, when you don't have, when there's not a readily-available real explanation for something, you start to question reality, when you start questioning reality. I think you open yourself up to these like matrix-like issues and 00:07:58And open to navigate, you know, they Pete be unclear Waters of what our existence really means. 00:08:08You like that clip? I posted it today. I said the DNA some NPCs are glitching out. There's been videos going around of people. Just acting strange is very strange. Where 00:08:20Maybe some people or entities or whatever. It is. Our non-player characters are just here to fill in the void to have some sort of interaction which is kind of scary. Because are you an NPC, Ryan? Are you here? How we are? We were conducting Witchcraft and I were talking through a screen through this thing and it's being transmitted to you on some other place at it. There's a different time zone over there. This is fucking wild, right? We're literally on. Scrying mirrors, utilizing Technologies. We don't understand. That's the thing fully engaged as if, as if ya. Are you real or are we in a 00:09:11Black Mirror episode. 00:09:13Are we in because it seems like it, right? And in, and right now, I'm in a group chat where we're having. 00:09:21An argument about the reality of Statistics, right? You know what I'm getting at a different numbers and things that are going on in the world right now that I'm honestly I'm tired of talking about it. I like talking about other things, other topics that are cool like aliens and shit right in in in Bigfoot, but people are so sucked up into the thing that's going on right now. Everything and it just makes me think what else is going, on. They're distracting us from because anything that happens. The number one thing is a what's the what's the distraction from what's actually going on that? They don't want us to see that? Hey, this is just a asiop type of thing and 00:10:02I have a friend of mine was very passionate about the Awakening of humanity as a as a conscious. And so it's, it's happening, is happening right now. It's about to happen. Is it really? You know what I mean? Is it would you, would you be okay with it? Not happening during your lifetime. 00:10:19Oh, totally. I just think we're that unlucky Bundt or lucky Bunch depending on how you see it that. 00:10:27It's happening. I agree with your friend, at least in some view because, you know, you talk to people on that Consciousness to who have had near-death experiences and they, you know, it's real is our reality scenes without question. They almost always 00:10:49Relay, their experiences being more real than this one. This is a blurry. 00:10:56Blurry. Muddy comparison to what they experienced when when they have. 00:11:04These out-of-body near-death experiences. So what we are experiencing now, is it as real as it is seems very blurry muddied? And not as authentic as the experiences which are encountered in that particular Consciousness and 00:11:27Getting bits and pieces here, and there will have like you do, you know those moments of deja vu or it seems again more real than it's a nebula in space and time. They totally and I don't know if I've ever asked you, but have you ever done. Give me a second. Dimethyl. Trip to me. Her done DMT. 00:11:47Very interesting, you know? No, I've never done the actual drug. Now, that being said that being said that the little science experiment experiment that myself and others are engaged with. I sold a portion and I don't know how much to tell her because we're dealing with some pretty major. 00:12:11Stuff we're doing out there and I hate when I have you on the show you talk about it cuz you can't talk about it. Yeah, man, I'll just say it. I'll just say it a, a partner of mine and I only stayed partner Lexus. I can blur whatever whatever you want out. After the fact, I'll say it in the correct format. I sold the Western portion of space Wolf research, which used to be twice the size. It is now to a silent partner who does not want to be named. He doesn't want to be a part of 00:12:45Anything yet. Just screams reptilian to me just right now. He's a great guy and we have very similar Mutual shared interest and I wouldn't have sold it to anybody who did not have the same feelings about the land and what its meaning is to humanity and he has, for lack of a better word been bringing Consciousness technology to the area. 00:13:14Which is. 00:13:18Able to reconstruct the DMT experience without the use of drugs. So I'm right here on Tusk by any chance know, but he's definitely a musketeer as I am in that sense that he 00:13:37This. This Consciousness technology dude. That's a wild man. Yeah, it's a lamp of sorts and I've heard about that on Joe Rogan with a strap you in and they were able to put pulses of Light. Have you tried that? I don't want to get into that. But my experience is not as important as it's very important on this podcast Ryan. Well, I've I've delved into other areas like 00:14:07When I, when I will go to the property and yeah, so so there's there's stuff going on. But when I've gone to the property, I typically will. 00:14:19Try to commune with the land or engage with with the land itself and do so on a very. 00:14:30Empty, I guess level not coming in with any precognition or expectations or anything along that just kind of shift to just a receptor. Just neurological receptor. That's taking it all in and it's hard to keep your mind empty. It's almost like a meditation, but it's hard to keep your mind empty without you know, that human loaded precognition. Where you get all this is good. This is bad that I don't know. It's like, who cares what we think? And I try to go in with that more and more like I just in intelligence and Observe and Report idea and and it when you go with that, observe and report, 00:15:14Mindset, I feel that it goes a lot better or like Oriental cultures will often, you know, call it turning your mind into an empty bowl and then it is filled with the rice or the whatever comes out of that instead of instead of optioning to command our own. 00:15:35Feelings on what happens. And so the Observer when I can say is the Observer Super T, in areas of high strangeness and what you bring to the table is super important. So it's important to like literally show up at the table with nothing in your hands and 00:15:54Just be open to what it wants to send you and do they know for example, if I was to go out there would they know I have a podcast about this year? 00:16:05It is yeah, man, it's whatever this intelligence is. It is like what scientist before me have called it, namely a precognitive. 00:16:20Intelligence. So it 00:16:23knows ahead of time. What you are going to think. 00:16:31bro, this shit balls on my ended because 00:16:38that is scary as hell. That is very scary and Ryan why you think and correct me if I'm wrong, but this 00:16:51Collective Consciousness or entity, or architect program, or whatever it may be. 00:16:58Why is it that my whole thing is why is it so strong and concentrated there? I know that there's certain minerals and rocks and different things that are only found in that area in the entire world. But are there other places such as the Skinwalker Ranch, with the same aspects may be in Australia or in China or in Japan or around the world. Does that have to do with the ley-lines? You think is this word? These people, I mean, and they can correct me if I'm wrong. This is where these people build their sacred temples and establishments for religious. 00:17:38For religious activities. Know who am? I am I wrong in that term? Because a lot of these places that they tear down and they build churches on top of, you know, maybe ancient Pagan sites, they build churches or even establishments on these places. Like, what's his name that that one that one guy who, who the super billing? I forget his name. Is it something Bloomberg or something like that? Whatever his last name is where he restored an old Temple of Jupiter or Venus and he made it like this crazy technologically advanced building and he's a super billionaire, but he restored a a temple to I believe it to its in Baalbek or Lebanon some place over there. He rebuilt this Temple. 00:18:22And just checked it all out. And it's like, what could you possibly want with this sort of thing? A, my whole obviously, Skinwalker Ranch is famous, but are there other places that you're aware of that are on par with the quality of encounters? 00:18:43Such a Skinwalker Ranch where you able to be like, hey, there is a correlation between these two. 00:18:51Yeah, I think that there are multiple sites and locations that are similar For Me, The Fray. I mean, homemade Skinwalker to me. So for me, The Fray is that location, but I've gone to other locations that have similar phrase or bales that seem to be glitchy Sedona what parts of Nevada and the desert here. There's multiple locations. Now obviously Skinwalker is very close to the 37th parallel. And like you said, people that will argue that ley-line. 00:19:37Theory. It it's it's pretty obvious to me that there is some legitimate background to that. When you went when you really start to look at, as you said, we're both indigenous and even more. Modern Lee people seem to see this High strangeness, I mean back in 1776 when father Escalante and Dominguez, we're coming through mapping Trails for the Spanish. They were encountering the same stuff but our government and twos is priest under him which they were booked Roman Catholic. Priests Dominguez, his priests under him. They were they were a pair of priests that the Spanish sent to Matt. Basically. Yeah, well, 00:20:30The theory was that the priest had a better chance of making it alive and they did they would basically make map these routes that the Spanish would later use for gold and it's known as The Old Spanish Trail now, but yeah, when they went through the Basin, they reported very similar things in the sky and the ground and absolutely unearthly. 00:21:03apparitions, so, 00:21:06It's not it's not something that is new. But it the definitely they were communing with the same type of thing that our current intelligence, both government military through, you know, many Freedom of Information Act requests and and and actually be the New York Times coming out and straight up saying it. The advanced Aviation threat identification program as well as he Advanced Aerospace weapon system, application program, a tip and off app. We're both strategically held for lack of a better word. A tip for sure was held right there at Skinwalker. So it's, you know, that is the program that Lou Elizondo claims to have been in charge of and 00:21:53It it was investigating something for a reason, something that seemed to be a threat and that they could not pinpoint. So it's a, it's a very, you know, top scientists with the Bearcats are very interesting and intriguing mystery that continues. They have, since disbanded the program, renamed it, but it is still very much alive and the same players other than Lou. Some of the same players I should say, are still at the Forefront of investigating things that are able to Traverse for lack of a better word, portals wormholes. You know, they have, they definitely have a monopoly on whatever these intelligences are seem to have a monopoly on being able to 00:22:46Blink in and out of our reality. 00:22:51woman, blow my fucking mind with this stuff where 00:22:56Is that is that the one that Bob Lazar was talking to a being being a part of? Or is that a different program? That's a different area. I know, dude. It's so interesting. You mention Bob Lazar because 00:23:09Okay, you just leave him by the way. I'm sure you. Do you believe him 100% do? Now I wouldn't. But I have some friends close friends who are in communication with him. 00:23:22And it's a great example of how the government can come in and change your history and make the public believe anything they want about you. 00:23:31He very much worked at the places. He said he worked and interesting Lee enough where the streams cross with with the Uintah Basin is how can I put this? Okay, I'll just I'll just tell you what I'm told by very inside in, I just want for me. I love myself. I would never kill myself and I love the United States of America and Giovanni Patriot. I'm a patriot exactly. 00:24:08A scientific expert who has very credible information. 00:24:17Told me recently that one of the element 115 spent fuel rods that were found were found 500 feet from a property boundary from my property. Boundary do, what these purported fuel cells. They were appear to be metal rods and they are what the national about mids Bigelow scientific team, the National Institute for Discovery Science. Their scientists deemed that these were reportedly 00:24:58fuel rods, for 00:25:01Flying saucers or reverse-engineered craft, which Falls completely in line with what Bob Lazar said? Years ago, that this element 115 was, in fact, an element that just because it was not on our periodic table, then it is now. But at the time, it was not on our periodic table and had not been proven to be stable enough to be on the periodic table ever. Since then it has been proven to be stable, at least in a temporary sense enough to be on our periodic table. And that these reversed engineered crap or saucers for lack of a better word were using these fuel rods as fuel. So they would somehow convert that into energy that could 00:25:50Make them not only anti-gravitational but you know go forward backward up down any way they want and and and the element and in discussion as a Muscovy mm, chemical element with the symbol m, c and atomic number 115. Is that the right one element 115? It is it's, it's been named a few things. And Bob, Lazar first came out with this information. Everybody scoffed at him and laughed at him and they have since sort of retracted that when it was proven to exist. So either the guys talking out his butt or his butts really smart because it figured out this element existed long before it existed and he he is very smart. He's a very knowledgeable individual, he's not talking out his but unfortunately there is such it's almost like a movement lately that is just out to the bunk anything that has to do with going against the 00:26:50Armand reality that we know exists. And you know, that's always sort of been the case, you know, when 00:26:58People were saying the Earth was round and the status quo was saying, it was flat. They would kill you. So, a lot of things have not changed, and it seems that time is the factor that changes it. Because if you just wait long enough, these things come to fruition and then everybody back steps and Rio, you okay? Well, we accept it now, but I can do at that time. If you, you know, this is centuries ago. If you claimed the world was round, you know, you were a heretic and you were burned at the stake, whether you were right or not. It's like that. That part of, I'm reading Tom hatches book LSD, the Wonder child and it talks about when they exposed. 00:27:45Chimpanzees tile SD there, wouldn't show any discomfort and they would release them back into their society and the other chimps would ostracize them. And because they were following, the hierarchy of of pretty much their simulation, their world. He was going against the grain, and he would be punished almost like what's happening right now, right? Where if you don't follow certain Norms, your outcasted, this is happened before. And I looked into something, dude, that blew my fucking mind yesterday, and I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe. I had to look deeper into it. 00:28:24I posted the clip on my Tik-Tok and Instagram and it was about the Third Reich and the end of the nurses that they had their, they would literally kill babies. They would hold the babies, that would put them outside to get frostbite. They would kill babies. These people doing these horrible experiments and 00:28:43The idea of eugenics which is presented in Plato's The Republic Wright. Plato was one of the first people to come up with this idea of selective. Breeding only the higher-ups could read, you know, it and keep the bloodline pure. 00:28:59The book, The Republic was looked upon by a Martin Luther King Jr. And the Nazis write two separate movements. They both looked at the same piece of work of of of 00:29:13A literature which comes to show you the what Plato talks about, in that work, the Arts speak to people on a deeper level than just, that's why he wanted to limit certain frequencies, right? That's very important. Wanted to limit for certain frequencies from from that because he thought that it would give a person hope they would have rebelled against the system and break out of potatoes to the cave right? Break out of the cage. When you come back to tell them. Hey, there's another world out there. They fight you. No, no shut the fuck up. Going to sit back down. 00:29:46And when it comes to this sort of thing. 00:29:51I also my my, my breakthrough was that apparently the idea of eugenics actually came from the US and the Nazis adopted a law trying to compete with the US. And if you look into it and then early 1900, the US was sterilizing. 00:30:12Mentally handicapped, people over 400,000, people were sterilized, who were mentally handicapped, or whatever. It may be, some sort of disorder that they had disabled such as the Nazis did with the gypsies, the polka polish, all these different groups of people, ultimately that the Jews as well. And that's how they start you with it. They started with hey, these people are sick. We're going to take him to these camps, to make them feel better. We're going to take what's happening in Australia right now. They got fucking concentration camps out there. And guess what? They can't do anything. They have no guns. They can't stand up to their tyrannical. Government. Why? Because they gave their guns up, back in the 90s and this is what happens. And I don't feel like this is going to come knocking on our doorstep, but it's just something to keep open because well, never say, never right? I saw your face Never Say Never 00:31:06It is scary. And when we talk about the world burning, we see this but it blew my mind. Dude. I was like all the Nazis weren't at the Forefront of this. I said, wait a minute then who was all the US? 00:31:17And in night in the 1970 that passed laws and everything in regards to this and I said, there's no fucking way and there would be articles that would come on and pay. The Nazis are beating us or hey, the Nazi was saying we have to compete with the US. 00:31:33That is disgusting because I talk to, I talk to somebody recently about this about how not too long ago. 00:31:40We were racist as fuck for as black people. Right towards people of color, that we were super only a person's lifetime or away. 1940s 1950s. We just came out of of doing that. And there still racism in this world today that we have where that's why I feel that. 00:32:02I don't, I don't know if if 00:32:06That there needs to be some sort of cleansing, right. Of like this this and I want to be careful the way I word it not but some sort of 00:32:17Consciousness cleanse, I don't know, you know what I mean, like maybe knocked out all the bullshit because my whole thing is if people was weird open up their eyes and realize, hey, this is all bulshit this reality that what is all bulshit. Right? If we're able to break out of that thinking and break free of the chains of the of the materialism and in consumerism and all this other bullshit that's taking a hold of everybody. I think we'll be able to move up that next level of being able to live in harmony, but the powers-that-be these reptilian us. 00:32:53people, these overlords 00:32:56They feed off that energy, right? They feed off that negativity in that lower vibrational vibrational energy. And that's why I talked about the Saturn time Cube about how Saturn is ruling, is the demiurges rule in this reality, right? And in The Matrix, these all that they're coming out with a new Matrix movie. 00:33:17I love it. I love it. I can't wait to see it. Cuz I wonder what they're going to do is lie,. I was having these dreams and speaking of Dreams the other day. I went to Coral Castle at Wild Place. Dude. I don't know how this guy did it. It makes you wonder these people who who its technology. But when you see the things that they're able to do, how you how you mentioned before, and have references numerous times on my podcast, how you said, when you put certain stones in certain positions, in certain ways, you are able to send a message. What was that place you were at? That was like a spiral. What was that? 00:33:55It's a pic. It's a location known as rhyolite Nevada. It's an abandoned. It's actually at open-air Art Museum. Now, however it is and it is basically a ghost town that used to be very functional and the artwork there and like you saw the the spiral very interesting energy out in the middle of nowhere. I mean it it literally took me an entire day just to get to the location and but that's like what I like to do, but it's very real of these repeat these areas function in ways that and I agree with you 100% like Coral Castle in 00:34:42These Elemental Technologies. 00:34:45By the way, I'll a line runs through there, too. By the way. 00:34:52Run. Are you cut out? I can't hear your audio, dude. 00:34:57Did you meet yourself? 00:35:04I can't hear you. Your likes is the archons at work, dude. 00:35:11Are you go? Yeah. Yeah. There we go. 00:35:14The archons at work. Did you go? That was weird? 00:35:20To my point. I think a Ley line runs through the Coral Castle. By the way, just saying that out, Elemental Technologies, like you said, running placing stones and Elemental Technologies and certain 00:35:40designs. 00:35:42They continue to work whether the Wi-Fi goes down or not. So we're other forms of technology can glitch out and just couldn't be completely erased from history. I honestly believe that there is an elemental technology that can be utilized, that will continue to both receive and 00:36:05Put out energies and the dysfunction regardless of your temporary technology. Like the ones were using. The, the interesting thing is 00:36:19There are. 00:36:23How can I put the scissors? It seems to me that there's always been entities that act as these? 00:36:32They just kind of hold hold stuff together. Hold the Matrix together, like almost like a Metatron, like a Metatron, like a Baphomet, something coagulating, at dissolving or Metatron, just basically making sure the program is working and functioning because the last thing that the in the lizard tank because I'm half wizard. I mean, we all, we all live within the confines of this reality, which is based on a monetary fiat currency and just buy that very engagement with the system. We're all pretty much half lizard. Anyway, you have to worry about, you know, paying your bills and stuff, you know supporting your family and things of that nature which are not very human Tendencies. These are these are, these are things that have been imposed upon us and not necessarily go with the core of our being. So, 00:37:23When, you know, and I know when I see people that are wealthy Elites, I call them lizards and yet, do I wish I was a lizard. I wish I had more money in the bank. I wish I had more stock on you and I know a few lizards to, but when you hang out with them, door, like normal people aware in touch and conscious of this. 00:37:51Financial gain, which is not a bad thing. However, I think it can become a bad thing. It's, it's like it and, you know, there's wealthy Elites and then there's worth wealthy Elites. I remember guiding Tiger Woods down the river and he was the first billionaire I ever met. 00:38:12It might be, I don't know if it is or not. I may have left that out. But, you know, he was the first billionaire that I ever met, and you just a normal guy, but you can tell that it gets to you and I've met billionaire since, and they definitely have something that we don't have, which is a lot of money on a paper. A lot of pieces of paper and with that literally comes an air of 00:38:43Entitlement and it's not a bad thing. But, you know, much, you know, much like the guy that has to work 9 to 5, and then you see the guy that drives by in the 00:38:54Limo who hasn't worked a day in his life. There is, it's not arrogance, but there is a superiority complex that comes with it. Whether you want it to or not. It's the same feeling we get, you know, when you see these these videos online of like send a dollar a day and you'll feed three children in Africa. You see this stuff and I'll send you like, holy crap. Have it ready. Yeah, it speaks to you and Kyle. Thankful. Yeah. Yeah, you're very thankful for your position or just living in those countries. I mean fathomable to most of the world. So 00:39:34You know, it it's one of those things that I can see how that power would propagate and evolutionary in an evolutionary sense, propagate along Bloodlines and exponentially recreate itself to bigger and bigger proportions. And you would end up with these extremely unfathomably, wealthy Elites who only operate on that particular system of power. And I think that's what people mean when they're talking about lizards, but, you know, everybody goes down the super like, where's their tail? If you are cold-blooded enough, no punishment upon intended, I guess cold-blooded enough, to only concentrate on the absorption of power like, a sponge. It's pretty amazing. I'm sure how far you could get in life, and 00:40:29I mean, you probably would not care about those around you. Look no further. Dude. Is it, is it me? Or does it feel like Jeff Bezos came out of nowhere? 00:40:40I would totally like, where's his family, who, who was under him before him? You know what I mean? Is like this, dude just popped out of nowhere and you're saying, while the sky's the limit for the literal sky is the limit for these people that they're launching their. It's almost like a pissing match now. It's how long can I be in space now? How long, how much longer can I be than you or how much higher can I go in you when they were launching the new? The SpaceX, the first crude then they're like, hey were were well past a hundred kilometers at this point almost like doing that job over at at these other guys. The guy from Virgin Galactic nnn Jeff Bezos where they only went up to space for two minutes, but these guys 00:41:23I've always said it where they know when you know, you're in a game. 00:41:29You're going to play differently.

Sleep well tonight, citizens: All of Florida's Most Unwanted have been rounded up by our guest on today's show. And he's got stories to tell! In the studio with us is biologist Patrick Gibson, owner of a wildlife removal business based in Cape Coral, Fla. Patrick shares his list of the state's Most Unwanted critters and how to keep them off your property for good.  He says there's no hierarchy to the pests on his list, just a roundup of the ones you REALLY don't want to invade your living space.  Included on Patrick's Most Unwanted list of nine common Florida pests are killer bees, pileated woodpeckers, Muscovy ducks, racoons, rats, various snakes... and worse!Host: Jim Sanville. Producer: Jerry Johnson. 

The Muscovy duck has been domesticated for centuries, and is widely traded as "Barbary duck".

England’s first major attempt at maritime exploration was a nautical disaster! But the survivors didn’t come home empty-handed. Actor/comedian Christy Bruce is here for the tale of how English sailors developed a new relationship with – and a huge crush on – Ivan the Terrible himself. Brought to you By: The Sonar Network

Mike Kimmel aka the Python Cowboy lives and works on the front lines of the Florida invasion of non-native species like pythons, iguanas, Muscovy ducks and many others. Cowboy is a great description for Mike as he's a bit of a renegade who enjoys the adrenalized rush of capturing dangerous exotic critters. He’s also a conservationist who is passionate about his role in removing these species from the landscape to give native species much-needed time to recalibrate to the biological novelty in their new world. In this episode, Mike gives us the rundown on the invasive species issue in Florida — the python invasion, in particular — and gives us a glimpse into his exciting and impactful work.

November 27th Shiur by Rabbi Daniel Stein שליט”א Topic: The Kashrus of Turkey, Muscovy Duck, and the American Bison

On the podcast this week we continue our conversation with Craig Ruggless who, along with his husband Gary Jackemuk, runs Winnetka Farms in Los Angeles' San Fernando valley. In last week's podcast, episode 56, we talked about Italian vegetables. This week Craig tells us about his double-laced Barnevelder chickens, Muscovy ducks and we complain about […]
