We love to hear from you. Send us your thought, comments, suggestions, love lettersGuest: Gian Giudice, Head of Theoretical Physics at CERNThe Cosmic Scoop:In this mind-bending episode, we dive into the deepest mysteries of our universe with Dr. Gian Giudice, Head of Theoretical Physics at CERN. Dr. Giudice takes us on a journey beyond the Big Bang, exploring the cutting-edge theories that attempt to explain the very origins of space and time. We discuss the interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity, the nature of dark energy and dark matter, and the profound implications these cosmic insights have on our understanding of reality. Dr. Giudice shares his personal perspective on how studying the universe's birth shapes our view of existence and the role of humanity in this vast cosmic tapestry.Quotable Insights:"Mathematics is hardwired in nature. We don't invent it, we discover it.""The Big Bang was not an explosion of a point, but rather a phase transition that happened uniformly, modifying the properties of space.""When you look at the sky, the pattern of galaxies is telling you about the quantum fluctuations that occurred before the Big Bang.""Studying physics has not eliminated my interest in spiritual meaning. Many physicists approach this in a very individual way."Links to Explore:CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research): https://home.cern/Gian Giudice's book "Before the Big Bang" Cosmic Microwave Background information: https://science.nasa.gov/ems/09_cosmicmicrowavebackgroundMusic for the Cosmic Journey:For the "Playlist for the Aspiring Space Traveler": Gian Giudice recommends Verdi's Requiem.

You might be surprised to learn that the famous “www” in website addresses didn't originate in Silicon Valley or New York, but at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, known as CERN for short, which is situated on the French-Swiss border close to Geneva.  It was 1989 when British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee came up with the idea for a hypertext system. Essentially, it was a way to connect different pieces of data through links, creating something like a giant web that would work via the internet. Aren't internet and web the same thing?  What about the other parts of a web address then, like https or “.com” at the end? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In this dialogue, Prof Christo Doherty, the Chair of Research in the Wits School of Arts, speaks to Ariane Koek, a prominent British independent producer, curator, and writer, recognized globally for her pioneering work at the intersection of art and science. With a career spanning several decades Ariane is particularly noted for founding the Arts at CERN program, which she designed and directed from 2009 to 2015. This initiative was the first official international arts program at CERN and aimed to foster collaboration between artists and scientists. Under her leadership, the program included various residency opportunities for artists, allowing them to explore and interpret scientific concepts through their creative practices. The project has just been awarded the Grand Prize - Innovative Collaboration at Ars Electronica 2024. The prize recognises innovative collaboration between industry or technology and the arts (and the cultural and creative sectors in general) that opens new pathways for innovation. In this podcast we focus on the Arts at CERN project, a curatorial and political challenge that Ariane launched single-handedly in 2010. CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is an intergovernmental organization comprising 24 member states, that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world situated in a vast complex based outside Geneva in Switzerland. CERN's main function is to provide particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research. The lab's most notable project is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider, consisting of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets. The Centre has approximately 2,660 scientific, technical, and administrative staff members, and in 2019 hosted about 12,400 users from institutions in more than 70 countries.  We do a deep dive into the experience of setting up the Arts at CERN programme and the lessons Ariane learnt from working with artists and scientists in such a challenging context. We then go on to unpack Ariane's more recent insistence that we need to go beyond the acceptance of art-science collaborations as “de facto” positive and the implications of this insight for her current work as a producer and curator. Finally we touch on the continuing importance of aesthetics in both contemporary art and science while recognising the different meaning of the term "beauty" in artistic and scientific discourses.

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! Our journey through "Bad Straight-to-Home-Video Christmas Sequels" continues this week with "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure"! We can't even pretend otherwise - this movie is trash and may very well be the worst thing we've covered in over half-a-decade on the show. It was painful to get through. That said, as is often the case with movies none of us liked, the discussion is a lot of fun!  So, settle in, relax, and enjoy this latest episode which we promise is the perfect way to kick off your week! As always, thanks for your love and support, y'all!

In this episode, we take you to Science Week at Surbiton High School. Arranged by the Science department, this is a week of experiments in the quad, guest speakers, the annual Science Fair and the Science House Quiz. This year, we were visited by alumnus, Charlotte Basilico, who now works at CERN, the "Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire", or European Council for Nuclear Research. Charlotte came to speak to our Sixth Form about careers for women in STEM, and what it's like to work at the world's foremost nuclear research centre.

Today, Jim, John, and Lonaiah dive into the history of the Knights Templar, a Roman Catholic military order headquartered out of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the Middle Ages, and their ties to the Rothschild family, the Freemasons, and the Illuminati. This episode explores the Knights Templar's direct connection to the world banking system and, ultimately, to CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Today, we learn why this web of history is critical in our understanding of the coming of the Antichrist. News and discussion this week circles around the Texas border crisis and the taxpayer funding of illegals, Chinese hackers targeting U.S. infrastructure, suspicious deaths following the pandemic events of 2020, and much more.

A University of Galway delegation has taken part in a national fact-finding mission as part of Ireland's proposal for membership of CERN - the European Organization for Nuclear Research, where physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Professor James Livesey, University of Galway's Vice-President for Research and Innovation, and Dr Aaron Golden, Vice-Dean for Research and Innovation, at the University's College of Science & Engineering, visited the world's largest particle physics laboratory as part of an Irish delegation. An intergovernmental organisation based in Geneva near the border between Switzerland and France, CERN has 23 member states. Almost 3000 people are employed on the huge campus which every year plays hosts about 12,000 people from scientific institutions from more than 70 countries. CERN currently operates the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where proton beams moving at a fraction of the speed of light are smashed together, recreating, for an instant, explosions of energy that have only ever occurred at the origin of the universe, unlocking the fundamental constituents of matter. Vast experiments sweep up the blizzard of fragments, and painstakingly identify new physics - in the form of new types of matter. Work at CERN has resulted in no less than 5 Nobel prizes to date, most recently for the discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012. Professor James Livesey, Vice-President for Research and Innovation, said: "This visit really emphasised to us all on the delegation the incredible value to University of Galway that Irish membership of CERN would bring, across so many levels. It is difficult to identify any other scientific facility in Europe that is such a source of wonder and inspiration and CERN's outreach mission is second to none. The creativity in physics and mathematics essential to understanding the most fundamental science possible using the LHC is mirrored in the creativity needed by the engineering and technical teams to build and operate these astonishing 'discovery machines'. Having Galway in the community of practice around CERN would make us members of one of the most creative and innovative groups in the world." The Irish delegation took part in a day-long visit to CERN, including tours of several of the currently operating particle and nuclear physics experiments on the campus, along with presentations and Q&A sessions with CERN personnel, highlighting the breadth of activities to which membership would give access to. Beyond its core mission of pushing the frontier of fundamental physics, CERN is heavily involved in the application of technology transfer to areas as diverse as algorithm development, network and computational infrastructure, materials science and medical physics. CERN operates a unique access programme for members, that provides funding for undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers to visit and work on site in areas that cover the full spectrum of its activities, with the graduate engineering training programmes being widely considered one of the best in Europe. Dr Aaron Golden, Vice-Dean for Research and Innovation, College of Science & Engineering said: "It was eye-opening to find out directly CERN's medtech innovation activities, from novel radiotherapeutics to medical device development to tumour biology modelling, and their support of member state colleagues in these areas. The University of Galway is uniquely placed to engage with such access, particularly with the recent opening of UHG's Saolta Radiation Oncology Centre." CERN will be sending a delegation to visit Ireland in April of this year to assess Ireland's application for membership.

We need more allies at all levels in tech. But what does allyship mean if you're in a leadership role? Sometimes it's about being honest and vulnerable. Bhavesh Dayalji is the CEO at Kensho Technologies, an artificial intelligence solutions provider. Bhavesh also has a second role - Chief AI Officer at S&P Global. So how does he balance all of this with his family life? Bhavesh says that it's hard. The truth is, very few people find the right balance for them. But he's learning and describes himself as a “husband and father” before anything else.Bhavesh started his career at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Switzerland. However, he joked with his colleagues that he was more interested in how the business owners in the city were utilizing technological solutions. This led him to management consulting and, eventually, Kensho.Bhavesh believes that a culture that encourages women to bring their authentic selves to work can help them feel comfortable and achieve their full potential. He also stresses that the route to inclusive hiring might take more time, but that diversity of thought is critical in the expanding AI space.Join us every episode with hosts Suchi Srinivasan & Kamila Rakhimova from BCG to hear meaningful conversations with women and allies in digital technology and business.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris TD has announced that Ireland has been successful in the next step to join the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, one of the world's largest and most respected centres for scientific research. CERN considered Ireland's application last week and agreed to send a taskforce to Ireland to assess its application. The taskforce will produce a report on Ireland's fulfilment of the criteria for Associate Membership. After reviewing this report, it is likely that CERN Council will make a final decision on Ireland's application for Associate Membership in June of 2024. Speaking today, Minister Harris said: "Today is another step towards Ireland's membership of CERN. I am thrilled to announce that CERN had agreed to consider Ireland's application and will now send a taskforce here to progress our application. "Ireland's membership of CERN has been long awaited and will be transformative for the research community. "We already have a very strong physics community in Ireland who are ready to participate in this highly respected international collaboration. "CERN's primary mission is to understand the fundamental nature of the universe. The full inclusion of Irish scientists, researchers and engineers in that mission is justly deserved and has been long anticipated both here in Ireland and abroad." Minister Harris added: "With CERN membership, Irish citizens will gain access to CERN's formal training schemes. "These include masters and PhD programmes, apprenticeships, a graduate engineering training scheme, internships for computer scientists and engineers, and technical training experience. "These skills would be developed far beyond what is possible in Ireland and are in industry-relevant areas such as electronics, photonics, materials, energy systems and software. "The benefits of Ireland's membership of CERN are immeasurable and I look forward to welcoming CERN's task force in due course." See more stories here.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider.[1][2] It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and hundreds of universities and laboratories across more than 100 countries.[3] It lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference and as deep as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the France–Switzerland border near Geneva.

Step into the world of cutting-edge science and profound discoveries in our engaging show segment, "Altering Reality." In this episode, we explore how the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has revolutionized our understanding of the universe and transformed the very essence of reality.

Los Alamos in the Southwestern American state of New Mexico is where the U.S. government set up its secret mission to develop nuclear weapons during World War II.位于美国西南部新墨西哥州的洛斯阿拉莫斯是美国政府在二战期间设立秘密研制核武器任务的地方。Eighty years later, it is the home to huge government research and development laboratories.八十年后，它成为了庞大的政府研发实验室的所在地。Now, Los Alamos National Laboratory is taking part in the nation's largest nuclear weapons effort since World War II. The aim is to modernize America's nuclear weapons. New workers there are producing an important part of nuclear weapons – plutonium/pluːˈtəʊ.ni.əm/ cores.现在，洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室正在参与美国自二战以来最大规模的核武器项目。 目的是使美国的核武器现代化。 那里的新工人正在生产核武器的重要组成部分——钚核心。The government has given jobs to about 3,300 workers in the last two years. The workforce is now over 17,270. Close to half of the workers live in some other part of New Mexico. The population of Los Alamos nearly doubles during the workweek.过去两年，政府为约 3,300 名工人提供了就业机会。 目前员工人数超过 17,270 人。 近一半的工人居住在新墨西哥州的其他地区。 每周工作期间，洛斯阿拉莫斯的人口几乎翻倍。While new technology has changed the way work is done at Los Alamos, some things remain the same. Secrecy and a sense of duty that came in the 1940s are still part of the community.虽然新技术改变了洛斯阿拉莫斯的工作方式，但有些事情仍然保持不变。 20 世纪 40 年代出现的保密性和责任感仍然是这个社区的一部分。James Owen is an engineer. He has spent more than 25 years working in the nuclear weapons program.詹姆斯·欧文是一名工程师。 他在核武器项目上工作了超过 25 年。“What we do is meaningful. This isn't a job, it's a vocation and there's a sense of contribution that comes with that,” Owens told The Associated Press. He added, “The downside is, we can't tell people about all the cool things we do here.”“我们所做的事情是有意义的。 这不是一份工作，而是一种职业，随之而来的是一种贡献感。”欧文斯告诉美联社。 他补充道，“缺点是，我们无法告诉人们我们在这里所做的所有很酷的事情。”While the main goal of Los Alamos is maintaining America's nuclear weapons, the research center also works in other areas. These include energy, national security, space exploration, supercomputing, efforts to limit disease, and threats from computer attacks.虽然洛斯阿拉莫斯研究中心的主要目标是维持美国的核武器，但该研究中心也在其他领域开展工作。 其中包括能源、国家安全、太空探索、超级计算、限制疾病的努力以及计算机攻击的威胁。Employees say their work is necessary because of worldwide political insecurity. Most people in Los Alamos are connected to the laboratories, so opposition is rare.员工们表示，由于全球政治不安全，他们的工作是必要的。 洛斯阿拉莫斯的大多数人都与实验室有联系，因此很少有人反对。But groups that follow nuclear development, such as activists and nonprofit organizations, question the need for nuclear weapons and the increasing costs.但关注核发展的团体，例如积极分子和非营利组织，对核武器的必要性和不断增加的成本提出质疑。Greg Mello is director of the Los Alamos Study Group. It is an organization that has disagreed with the laboratory over safety, security and cost concerns. He said, “For some time, Los Alamosans have seemed numbed /nʌm/ out…”格雷格·梅洛是洛斯阿拉莫斯研究小组的主任。 该组织在安全、安保和成本问题上与实验室存在不同意见。 他说：“有一段时间，洛斯阿拉莫桑人似乎已经麻木了……”Chistopher Nolan's recently released film Oppenheimer brought new attention to the town. The attention increased support for an effort to expand the federal government's radiation compensation program for a group of people in several western states. The group includes people in southern New Mexico where the Trinity Test of the first atomic bomb took place in 1945. In July, the U.S. Senate voted to expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, which would pay money to people who might have been affected by nuclear-related activity in the U.S.奇斯托弗·诺兰最近上映的电影《奥本海默》为这座小镇带来了新的关注。 这种关注增加了人们对扩大联邦政府针对西部几个州的一群人的辐射补偿计划的支持。 该群体包括 1945 年第一颗原子弹进行三位一体测试的新墨西哥州南部的居民。7 月，美国参议院投票决定扩大辐射暴露补偿法案，该法案将为可能受到核辐射影响的人们提供赔偿 - 在美国的相关活动The activist groups argue that the federal government's modernization effort has already gone above spending predictions. Additionally, they say the effort has taken years longer than planned. Independent government researchers released a report earlier this month that showed the growing costs and delays.活动团体认为，联邦政府的现代化努力已经超出了支出预测。 此外，他们表示这项工作比计划花费了数年时间。 独立政府研究人员本月早些时候发布了一份报告，显示了不断增长的成本和延误。Owen said officials feel a sense of urgency because of increasing threats around the world. “What's being asked is that we all need to do better in a faster amount of time,” he said.欧文表示，由于世界各地的威胁日益增加，官员们感到了紧迫感。 “我们的要求是，我们都需要在更快的时间内做得更好，”他说。

Sure, we worked way too hard for that pun in the title, but it's a serious question: CERN, or the European Organization for Nuclear Research is one of the world's largest, most prominent centres for scientific research. The experts at CERN use the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the fundamental building blocks of matter, and over the years it's become the subject of numerous rumors, allegations, concerns and conspiracy theories. Join the guys as they delve into the fact, fiction and controversy surrounding CERN and the Large Hadron Collider.They don't want you to read our book.: https://static.macmillan.com/static/fib/stuff-you-should-read/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Help us get better by taking our quick survey! Your feedback will help us understand how we can improve in the future. Thank you for your time.This is episode 13 of People Doing Physics, the podcast from the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. This month marks our first birthday! One year, 12 guests, each one looking into their very own journey and connection with Physics. For this special anniversary episode, we've asked the head of the Cavendish Laboratory, Professor Andy Parker to take us to a building site. Not any building site though. The one, just across the road from the department's current location, where the newest home for the Cavendish Laboratory will open in 2024. A Professor of High Energy Physics, Andy joined the Cavendish as a lecturer in 1989. He served as Deputy Head of Department for 3 years before becoming Head of Department in 2013. Who better than Andy then, who has overseen this immense project for the best part of the past 10 years, to show us around and talk about what the new building means for the future of physics in Cambridge and nationally? With him we wandered and we roamed and we talked: about particle physics, ever bigger underground tunnels, and a lost spring on the carpet.

The Institute of Physics (IOP), alongside the Higher Education Institutes, academics and students across Ireland, is today calling on Government join CERN as an Associate Member. This would cost Government approximately €1.46 million, only 10% of full membership costs, and would demonstrate a clear commitment to R&D alongside the many benefits of being a member. This comes as the IOP, the largest professional body for physics in Ireland and the UK, and academics met today with Senators to outline why Ireland should join CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research and one of the world's largest and most respected centres for scientific research. The IOP welcomes the commitment of Leader of the Seanad, Senator Regina Doherty, and a large number of Senators who participated in the briefing, among them Senator Malcolm Byrne and Senator Jerry Buttimer, and looks forward to the Seanad debating how to progress Ireland's membership. Today's briefing with Senators follows comments from Minister Simon Harris TD, Minister for Further & Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science stating his Department is preparing a submission to Government regarding Ireland joining CERN. Joining CERN would have significant benefits for Ireland in terms of investment in infrastructure, science, education & training, and technology, and would increase job opportunities: Irish-based companies could bid for CERN contracts – Irish companies can currently only bid for contracts that can't be sourced in CERN member states. Only one contract has been secured to date. Irish citizens could apply for job positions at CERN – those working across physics, engineering, legal, accounting and administration could avail of significant international job opportunities. Irish academics could apply for CERN research projects – this would create massive investment in Irish academia in addition to showcasing the depth and breadth of Ireland's education expertise. Irish students at all levels could apply for CERN training programmes – training the next round of experts would result in massive job creation in Ireland, in addition to increasing Ireland's scientific knowledge and expertise. Membership would put Ireland at the forefront of pushing advancement in the areas of technology and research. The IOP commends Government's recognition to date of the importance of joining CERN. Associate Membership was recommended by the Joint Committee on Business, Enterprise and Innovation in 2019 and as part of Government's Innovation 2020 strategy. Commenting, Lee Reynolds, Head of IOP Ireland and Northern Ireland (Job Share) with the Institute of Physics said: “We are today calling on Government to move forward and to join CERN as an Associate Member. Doing so will ensure job creation in addition to significant investment in research, training and technology, while ensuring Ireland is at the forefront of scientific discovery and research. We welcome today's engagement with Senators from across the political spectrum, and we look forward to working alongside Senators, Ministers and Department officials into the future to realise Ireland's potential in this area. “The urgency to join CERN is evident; Ireland is currently one of only three EU countries not to have a relationship with CERN, alongside Malta and Luxembourg. This means Irish researchers wishing to avail of opportunities are reliant on using their own relationships with university abroad to access research projects. This means that, once innovation is achieved and projects complete, Irish researchers can't reap the full benefits. Equally Irish companies are barred from tendering for a broad range of high value contracts. “Joining CERN will create job opportunities and employment, will ensure Irish companies working in these areas can thrive, and will create further international opportunities for our students. In addition, it will clearly demonstrate Ireland's commitment to research and development and will si...

On this week's episode, we discuss Russia accusing Ukraine of conspiring to commit a false flag by commissioning the creation of a "dirty bomb" against Europe. We also discuss WNBA player Griner being sentenced to 9 years in a Russian prison for marijuana charges, immediately segueing to a conversation about the failed Joe Biden legislation, which caused a total of 0 prisoners to be released in a failed attempt at gaslighting the into voting blue in the upcoming election. Lastly, we discuss Michigan's radical proposal 3, the single most radical legislation in the US regarding abortion and radical legislation.    Subscribe and leave a 5-star review! ----more---- Donate to support the show by going to https://givesendgo.com/redpillrevolution   Our website https://redpillrevolution.co/    Protect your family and support the Red Pill Revolution Podcast with Affordable Life Insurance.

My name is Austin Adams and thank you very much for listening today. We are going to touch on a lot of different topics today, starting with the former, former, I say former because of this news, W N B A player, Britney Grimer losing her appeal and will actually serve nine years in a Russian penal colony. I guess that's nickname for jail , which really sucks. We're gonna segue from that right into Joe Biden's marijuana hardens that occurred federally, uh, which Basical. Did nothing. As we will come to find out, we're also going to talk about Russian military warned the world that Ukraine was in the final stages of creating and detonating a dirty bomb that would spread nuclear radiation across Europe and that will also segue into the UN Security Council holding a closed door briefing and meeting about that situation. And then we will also discuss New York Supreme Court reinstating all of the federal employees for being unvaccinated and even orders back pay. So you'll find out how much that was. It's quite a bit of money. So if you were in New York and you were a federal employee, you might be decently happy right now if you stuck to your guns and this should be your payback. And then lastly, I am going to touch on proposal three in the state of Michigan. This radical proposal brings up so many different things that are going to affect our children. Um, all in the, you know, uh, guys, the Trojan horse that they say about Roe v. Wade. So we will discuss that. Well, but before we get started, if you could go ahead and hit that subscribe button if you're not already subscribed, I'd appreciate it so much if you could also leave a five star review. Recently, we've had some people come on and without even listening to the show, I'm fairly confident they've never listened to the show saying a, a couple, uh, negative things about the conversations we've had around the trans ideology, which if you listen to the show, you would know that I'm very empathetic to the community and the individual. I more so speak to the people in positions of power who are pushing this ideology and taking advantage of those people. So if you could leave a review, um, hit that five star view button, it would mean the world to me. It would push down the silliness. That is people who never listen to the show and just wanna make assumptions based off of the title or something like that. So if you could leave a five star review and additionally, please just write something, writing something pushes those silly little ones down, allows people to see that this is a great conversation that we have every single week, even if it. Thanks, , whatever it is, love the show, whatever it is. Um, but if you could write something meaningful, that would be incredible. So leave a five star view. All right, Thank you so much for listening. Head over to Red pill revolution.co. As you found out last week, we have our sub stacks up and running again, consistently going ahead and including all of the articles, all of the topic videos. So I break every single topic down to a five to 15 minute video and YouTube clips that I include there. I also include all of the articles that we discuss and a little bit of, uh, conversation that I write up and talk about in addition to some of these conversations. So head over to red pill revolution.co sign up for these Subst stack. It is free and at the very bottom, if you wanna become a paid subscriber, you get absolutely nothing other than the fact that you actually get to support the show. So this takes a lot of my time. I would appreciate it. Head down there and support the show. I believe it's $7 a month or something like that. So, um, thank you guys so much and welcome to the Revolut. Welcome to Red Pill Revolution. My name is Austin Adams. Red Pill Revolution started out with me, realizing everything that I knew, everything that I believed, everything I interpret about my life is through the lens of the information I was spoonfed as a child. Religion, politics, history, conspiracies, Hollywood medicine, money, food, all of it. Everything we know was tactfully written to influence your decisions and your view on reality by those in power. Now I'm on a mission, a mission to retrain and reeducate myself to find the true reality of what is behind that curtain. And I'm taking your ass with me. Welcome. To the revolution. All right, let's go ahead and jump into it. Brittany Grinner lost her appeal, appealing the marijuana charges, and this is a W N B A player who will serve now nine years in a Russian. Penal colony. So this W N B A player tried to bring a vape pen cartridge on a plane to go over and play basketball, was found, was arrested. They even went afar as in the US trying to negotiate with a cre, a famous infamous, I should say, creator of bombs, Russian terrorists, to negotiate out this W N B A player. So, uh, that was a conversation at one point but didn't end up happening. And the Russian, the court will go ahead and read this article, which is coming from Vice News, always beloved Vice And it says, A Russian court rejected W N B A star Britney Grinder's appeal for a redo sentence on Tuesday, which means the all star basketball player will have to serve out her nine year sentence for drug possession and smuggling at a penal colony in Russia unless US leaders negotiate for her freedom, which is what I discussed a little bit earlier. During a virtual in court appearance, Grindr explained her case to the panel of three judges deciding her fate. I was barely over the significant. Uh, the significant amount of cannabis oil, people with more severe crimes have gotten less than what I was given. She said, according to Reuters, I did not intend to do this. In the days leading up to Tuesday's appearance, Grinner expressed through her attorney that she was not too optimistic about the court here, uh, ruling in her favor. It's been a long year for Grinder. Her case has taken place against the backdrop of war, between review crane and Russia, and an intense relationship between Russia and the United States. That is quite unfortunate. If you were going to get arrested in Russia, now is probably not the time to do it if you're a US citizen. . So very unfortunate for Britney Grinner. I mean, really you, you have to think that she kind of knew that this is what was gonna happen. This is a political pawn, right? The what is happening here is the Russia saying hey, or United States saying, Hey, we want that. And Russia going, Nana Nbu boo. I have your player. Right? So there's a reason this is happening this way. In normal circumstances, I wonder if it would be different. I honestly feel for Britney Griner, there's no reason anybody should be arrested for marijuana charges. Maybe if you're going to Russia, maybe don't bring it with you if you know that it's illegal. I mean that, that's the last place that I wanna get arrested. Honestly. Is it Russian prison? But you know, that was her choice. So it says, After months of delay, Grinner was sentenced to nine years in August, President Joe Biden has called on Russia to release grinner in the I in the US Department of State said Grinner is wrongfully detained. Which is hilarious because as we will find out in a minute, the ruling and hypocrisy that is going on in the United States about this situation and marijuana charges, which I believe should totally be legal, I absolutely do not think that there's any reason anybody should be in jail for possessing a plant that grows here on this earth. Let alone one that does not harm anybody, does not make you go crazy as the Refurb Madness Documentaries would make you believe from the 1960s, seventies, whenever that was created . But I, I, I think it's really unfortunate. I, I really do feel bad for her. That's a horrible situation to find yourself in, in literally the worst time that you ever could have ran into this situation. So, I don't know if the answer is going ahead and trading a W N B A player for a infamous Russian terrorist bomb maker. Maybe that's not the move. But I do feel bad for Brit Grinder, and hopefully they figure out something here. I, I highly doubt it though, given the circumstances. Hopefully it's, and in the very least, hopefully it doesn't end up really being nine years because going from, you know, maybe she's 30, mid twenties, 30, going from that to being 40 is, Gosh, I just can't imagine. What that would feel like in what your family looks like, what your friendships would look like. I mean, just sitting in a Russian prison cell and the cell that she's sitting in literally looks like the cell that they would put a lion in. That's just like a four by 10 area that you could barely move around in. So I guess that's kind of what all prisons look like. But absolutely nobody should be in jail for marijuana, federally, internationally, statewide. And that's what we will find out in our next portion, which is going to be that Biden's marijuana Pardons did not free a single person, not one. Now they made this big show leading up to the, the voting that's coming up, the primaries, this big show. That's going on here. And this didn't do anything. They knew it wasn't gonna do anything. Especially, you know, you kind of should have known that when Kamala Harris seemed excited about letting people out of jail that she put there, I'm pretty sure she put at least 14. It was either 1400 or 14,000 people away during the time that she was a, a judge. So the fact that she was going, Oh, it's just such a long time coming, Oh, is it Kamala? Because we know that you are literally the one hitting the gavel on the table, deciding these people's fate when it was up to you. Now that it's not up to you and you're using it as a, again, a political ploy to help voters maybe get on your side in the time where literally everybody has a problem with this administration has a problem with their decisions, has a problem with the way that those decisions are affecting their lives. And that's what we're seeing in, and that's what we're gonna see when it comes to voting is that the, the middle of the road, people who would normally have voted Democrat may not do so with seeing the. Unbelievable shift in the way that their lives were affected from the last administration to this administration, and knowing that the effect that these, this upcoming vote is going to have on what that looks like moving forward. So this goes on to say that by, and this is coming from reason, This is a new publication that I, I would maybe suggest looking into. Reason Free, Mu Free Minds and Free Markets is what it is. It's reason.com. Now, they had this article that says, Biden's marijuana Pardons did not free a single federal prisoner or deliver the expungement that he promised at all. Now, a single person was released whatsoever. It says a process that the White House called attention to the thousands of federal cannabis offenders who remain incarcerated. Now, what the, You have to understand where this actually came from. Biden pardoned people who were in prison in federal prisons for possession, but there is no federal laws surrounding. Possession federally . So he literally did nothing at all. Nothing besides play a little show for people that people could get behind. Even, you know, we watched some of the other podcasts that are out there, people sung praise around this. I think it was in the Tulsi Gabbard podcast with Joe Rogan that we listened to a little bit of that. They sung the praises of this. They said it's a long time coming, You know, they, they didn't give it a, a bunch of positive praise, but they were hopeful that this was actually going to do something. And now we know that it didn't, didn't do a single thing, didn't let a single person out. And this article goes on to say that Edwin Rubus has served more than two decades of a 40 year, 40 year federal prison sentence for participating in a marijuana distribution operation, taking into account good time credit. He is not scheduled to be released until August of. 2032. Oh my gosh. Rubis is one of about 3000 federal prisoners whose cannabis related sentences were unaffected by Joe Biden's Mass. Pardon for low level marijuana offenders. A protest at the White House today called attention to their Predicament. Biden's. October 6th Proclamation applied only to the US citizens in legal permanent residence convicted of simple marijuana possession under the Controlled Substances Act, or the District of Columbia Code. None of whom were still incarcerated. None of them, although his pardons could benefit as many as 10,000 or so individuals. That represents a tiny percentage of the overall simple possession cases, which typically are charged under state law. And that's the problem. His possessions always gonna generally be under state law, not federal law. The federal prisoners are generally going to be, what we just saw was a distribution charge. When it's above a certain amount and you're bringing it across state lines, it's gener, uh, you're not gonna have it be a federal.  sentence, it's going to be a state sentence. So this goes on to say that according to the 2021 report, more than 3000 individuals, we just, uh, more than 3000 individuals are currently serving marijuana related sentences in federal prisons. The report estimated that ending federal marijuana per prohibition, a step that Biden has steadfastly resisted, could reduce the federal prison population more than 2,800 over five years. This goes on to say your recent executive order, while a great first step did nothing to address the thousands of federal cannabis prisoners currently incarcerated in federal prison. 16 drug policy reform groups noted in an October 10th letter to Biden. While your recent executive order will help many, it will not release a single one of the nearly 2,800 federal cannabis prisoners. Not a single one. 18 states in the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis. There are thousands of Americans who are serving long-term prison sentences, including some life sentences in federal facilities for conduct involved involving amounts of cannabis that are far less than what dispensaries routinely handle on a daily basis. Wow. And then it starts to list some people that are currently serving sentences for this. I won't go ahead and read this whole thing, but you can catch it in the sub stack. Red po revolution.co.com is for losers and sign up there. It's free. Or you can be a paid subscriber and support, like I said. So I think this is wild. I, I 100% believe that marijuana should be legal. Federally, statewide, internationally. Do not think that there's any single reason if you're going to allow alcohol, which has done far worse things to far more people, far worse things, to far more people that marijuana has ever done, will ever do. Take a year of deaths, take a year of addiction, take a year of aggressive tendencies in people's households, of social conflicts, of bar fights. You will never, never see that be the result of marijuana ever. It's never happened. It's never listed. There's no deaths for marijuana ever. You might feel groggy in the morning if you take far too much. But if you drink yourself, if you use too much opioids, Oxycontin, that's given out like candy by doctors amphetamines that are handed out like candy to children by doctors. But yet marijuana is illegal for what you wanna know, why? We can go back into the history of this. There was something called, uh, at least this to, to my knowledge, this was the biggest push of the reason why there was the paper industry was there was a company that was a paper company in the early 1960s, fifties, sixties, around that timeframe. And paper was becoming mass distributed and a very wide scale, but hemp paper proved to be better quality. It proved that it was, uh, longer lasting. It proved that it would hold up. It would hold up better. It wouldn't tear as easily. It holds the ink better for many, many reasons. Hemp paper. Far better. And it was only until they figured out a machine called the Decorticator. The decorticator was a machine used to turn hemp into paper easily. And once the decorticator came out, the paper industry lobbied tons of money and tons of, you know, uh, articles and papers and briefer madness documentaries, trying to get a push, saying that actually in one of the very first articles that you find about this, it says that it was a attempt to push racism and, and combined it with the use of marijuana. It said something like, uh, marijuana causing Mexicans in the United States to rape people. It was like this was so outlandish statement that was said in this article, but it was all because the paper industry was very threatened by the hemp industry. So they went out and made the entire plant illegal. For a very, very long time. That's when Reefer Madness came out. That's, so, before this, it was all legal. There was no issues with it whatsoever. There wasn't a bunch of Mexicans raping people as a result of marijuana wasn't happening. Now again, when you go back to alcohol, if we were really concerned about people doing bad things on substances, then you would ban alcohol. You even look at somebody who does heroin, the worst you're gonna do is kill yourself. You're not gonna harm somebody else. You're gonna lay on the street and be homeless and you know, whatever comes with that. But it's not nearly what you see as the after effects socially, right? I think you should be able to ruin your life and when a hundred percent am under the idea, the libertarian aspect of my ideology is 100% under the belief that you should be absolutely able to ruin your life. And with drugs you can 100% ruin. With heroin, you can ruin your life. And even with marijuana, you can ruin your life. It can, for certain people, it's not a good thing if you overuse it throughout your day, you do it every day before you go into work. That's a horrible thing. You shouldn't do that. It's gonna make you unproductive. It's gonna make you not positive or not not do well in social environments. Very often, depending on what to what level, but also some people, it heals people. There's far more, many, far more, many wow . There is far more positive attributes to, to what can be used with marijuana if it's used properly. If it's used to treat anxiety at at low doses, if it's used in, in ways that allow you to sleep at night. There's so many proper uses for it. And we're pushing things like Tylenol, which has far more negative benefits over the counter. You can buy it right now, unlimited amounts, but there is, you can actually overdose on Tylenol. You cannot do that on marijuana. So there's my little rant on that. I do not think at all it should be illegal for anybody and including almost all drugs. I I really don't think that drugs should be illegal. I think you should be able to ruin your own life. If you wanna do a bunch of heroin and sit in the street all day and not go to work and not build a life for yourself, I think you should be able to. But when it starts to infringe on the rights of other people, that's when the government should step in. That's kind of my idea around legality and, and, and laws. Okay. I took a class about this and, and one of the questions was, what, what is the purpose of laws? I think the purpose of laws is to almost instill in society the golden rule. Do unto others as you would want done unto yourself. So if there's a, if you take a general population, you survey 10 people and they go, Would you like to be robbed? Would you like to have your life taken from you? Would you like to insert whatever law, whatever action that's aggressive towards other people? Here and see, would you like this to happen to you? And if you don't wanna be killed, if you don't wanna be robbed, if that's a general consensus from society that we don't want things done onto us that way, then you should not be afforded the ability to do that onto others. That's what laws are there to prevent. If you are enforcing something upon other people is how I believe law should be taken. I don't think speeding should really be a big ticket. Fine, or you should go to jail for speeding. I don't think, as long as you are not encroaching on the liberties of another individual, the government should not have the right to step in to do so to to, to throw you in jail and lock away the key. I think it's a crazy idea. So when you take that fundamental idea all the way to its end, what, what you understand is that drugs don't infringe on the rights of other people. If you're going to, And even alcohol. I don't think alcohol should be illegal. I think you should be able to drink yourself and then if you punch somebody in the face as a result of it, you should go to jail for punching somebody in the face. Hmm. I think that's generally positive direction. I don't think that you should be going to jail for alcohol. I think DUI is a different thing cuz the likelihood that you're going to be doing those things and putting other people's lives in jeopardy is 100%. But I think if you are drinking in, in public and you are not infringing on other people in their space, in by their whatever you're doing, you should not be going to jail for it. Absolutely not. Okay. So there, there's, there's my ideology behind laws. And when you start to think that through all the way to its end, a lot of things prostitution becomes legal. You're not doing anything to harm anybody else. Both people are are agreeing parties. But although that can get you into a separate conversation around sex trafficking being very prevalent in that community. But as long as that's not the case, then there you go. It should be legal. You're not encroaching on anybody's liberties. Let's segue here. , I'm not sure the segue how to, how to properly combine this, but Russia, this, this is a pretty wild thing that just came up, is that, and this is a a probably the biggest conversation that, again, is not being had in the us.  Russia basically doing a presentation about how they're building dirty bombs and they were using materials in the images from movies to depict how they were doing this dirty bomb. Like if you ever watched the, The Ghost of Kiev, The things like that. The propaganda videos. Yeah. They're pulling like stock photos of this and trying to show Now let's see if they actually were saying that it was real. So it says On Monday, the Russian military warned the world that Ukraine was in the final stages of creating and detonating a dirty bomb that would spread nuclear radiation across Europe according to Russia. Ukraine in the west would then claim the attack was Russia detonating a nuclear bomb and attack. The allegation is absurd because dirty bombs and explosive attached to chemical radioactive material are theoretical. Says the explosion would cause more damage than any radioactive material, but Russia's claims are made, made are more ludicrous by the images it used to sell. The theory still is from a 2018 Syrian propaganda film, a 2014 training exercise about disposing radioactive material and photos from nine 11 . So, so that was a part of their like slideshow, is that Russia was showing these silly stock images and videos from movies depicting dirty bombs, which, unless they were saying that they were from this, like they're pointing to it and saying, We have intelligence that we collected and surveillance that is showing that they're doing these things, but it doesn't mean the information's wrong. It says, according to the information we have two organizations in Ukraine have specific instructions to create the so-called dirty bomb cure law. Have said the works are at the final stage, the most ludicrous part of Russia's MOD's dirty bomb. And this is coming from vice again. So when you see the ludicrous this, the individual writing, this is a nobody, Matthew Gat, he's a journalist. So his, he is framing this conversation in a way that they're, they are, what they're trying to do here is they are trying to make it seem as if this is not true simply because of the images and videos that they depicted here, which were yet to see them say that they were directly from surveillance video that they collected. Hmm. Says so to give you. Yeah. And here, here comes more BS about it. So it goes on to say Higgins went over some more photos of the kin presentation one still from a slide purporting to explain. Ukraine's ability to build a dirty bomb seems to show radioactive material in the bag with a drawing of a barrel diagram on the top of it with the bird's creation of a dirty bomb above it. The photo is from a 2014 training exercise involving nuclear material. Another photo purporting to show the civilian impact of a dirty bomb is just a picture from nine 11. So, let's see. Again, I don't think anything that they're saying here was that it was intelligence. Maybe it's a, maybe it's an insinuation and that's, you know, silly and wrong, but not something to de-legitimize their theory if they have legitimate sources saying that they're in the final phase. That two companies were paid in commission to build. And the reason that we know that this is something that the international community is taking more serious than some random journalist at Vice is because the UN Security Council holds a closed door meeting with Russia on the dirty bomb allegations against Ukraine. And Russia is saying that Ukraine is going to use this dirty bomb in a false, in a false flag operation to say that Russia did it, that they were gonna use unlike Europe or something. So let's read through this. This is coming from real news, no bullshit. And it says in remarks following the closed door, Me in. In a United Nations Security Council meeting, Russia has officially communicated on a council that they have intelligence that suggests Ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb, a claim that Western officials refute in remarks. Following the closed door meeting at the un, Russia's Deputy UN Ambassador, Dmitri Polanski said, We're quite satisfied because we raised the a. Kremlin spokesperson, Dimitri Pesco also reacted to claims of from Western nations that accused Russia of fabricating Ukraine's alleged plan to use a dirty bomb saying, I don't mind people saying that Russia is crying wolf if this doesn't happen, because this is a terrible, terrible disaster that threatens potentially the entire world. Russia says that their intelligence agencies have uncovered a plot by Ukraine to develop a radioactive dirty bomb. Their intelligence agencies claim that the Eastern Mineral enrichment plant in the central, some Ukrainian name region and the Institute of Nuclear Research in Kiev is actual, is actively involved in the plot. This all comes as Ukraine has invited the UN nuclear watchdog to inspect two unidentified Ukrainian nuclear sites. Ukrainian foreign minister vowed that inspectors would receive full access to the undisclosed sites and called on Russia to demonstrate the same transparency. Interesting. Now again, what they're saying here is that they're claiming that Ukraine's going to use this dirty bomb against European countries to then say that it was Russia as a false flag, and then cause a nuclear war for the entire world, World War three, because the United States has said several times that if a nuclear bomb or something of the like is you, as they will respond accordingly. So literally, Ukraine is trying to start a world war, the third world war, which could end dull of humanity over Russia. I I, to me, it's been so frustrating to see all the propaganda you even see in that Vice article. The way that that journalist went about framing that conversation is completely d how much, how much intelligence and surveillance does some random writer advice have regarding Ukrainian dirty bombs top secret documents that were collected and shown to the. He's framing in such a specific and confident manner, trying to take away the legitimacy of that when it could literally be the thing. Putin could have just stopped a world war by calling out Ukraine for doing this false flag. Dirty bomb. 100% could have just stopped it by bringing this to the attention of the UN and doing the proper surveillance on them for doing so. There's nothing again. And if he's wrong, good. I hope that doesn't happen. I hope it wasn't the part of the plan 100%, but if he was right, he could have just avoided a nuclear conflict by calling them out for this false flag operation that they intended to do. And again, there, there's nothing right with this war. They shouldn't have been started in the first place. There shouldn't have been people on the border of Russia and, and they shouldn't have been trying to join NATO or the UN in, in trying to raise the conflict level. There shouldn't have been a coup in 2014, ran by the Obama administration. There shouldn't have been all of these things. But here we find yourself. I think the further that we get from nuclear conflict the better. But we're closer than we ever were in the Cold War right now to a nuclear conflict, and now as we've seen, it could have just been avoided with this specific incident being called out. So again, I hope he's wrong. Sounds like they have a lot more information than then this vice journalist , who's trying to frame it as this crazy idea that they would ever do something like that. And maybe there's a reason that they took photos from nine 11 trying to put a, what is it, a, a subtweet towards the United States, about nine 11 and, and you know, when in the same conversation around false flags. Hmm. Interesting. Who am I? Just a guy. The next thing we're gonna discuss here is going to be that the New York Supreme Court reinstated all federal employees fired for being unvaccinated and even went as far to order $40,000 in back pay for the employees. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. If you listen to this before you, you know that at some point I had an opportunity for a pH, a position at a, a very high level position and a great company with a lot of money, but turned it down because I wasn't going to get vaccinated as a result of some large company wanting me to do so for employment, wasn't gonna do it. So here we find yourselves. We knew this was gonna come to this. We knew that eventually the Supreme Court, the, the Constitution was going to come into play just the same way that Pfizer wanted 70 years to come out with the data. Just not gonna happen. With the way that our constitution is set up, the way that our government is, has allegedly checks and balances. I begin to believe less and less than that as time goes on compared to what I was taught in high school. But I think that this is such a good step in the right direction, and I think that it's going to cause a ripple effect. I believe the same thing just happened in Washington. Uh, let me, let me double check on that. But I'm fairly positive the same situation just happened in Washington. The unvaccinated employees got their employment. Washington States says it will drop unvaccinated patient. Hmm. Yeah. You better. Uh, no. So it was a different, it might have been Washington, dc I don't know. It was a different state. Just did the same thing. So as, as these things start to piggyback on each other, as these rulings happen, they tend to have to, they set a standard and that standard legally tends to be applied in more multiple situations because you can point to these things and say, Hey, they decided based on the constitutional rights of the people, that you cannot infringe upon my own medical decisions for employment at the federal government. And so hopefully this continues to snowball and continues to bring on other country or other states, other employers that continue to do the same thing. Because that's exactly what should happen if you denied some of the employment or if you fired them as a result of not getting an experimental gene therapy that we knew nothing about, that we know now today was ineffective. That we know now today as there's a 4% rate of people getting their booster shot or aka another gene therapy for the fourth time, there's a 4% rate of people doing it because they see through the bullshit. They know that this did not help anybody. This didn't help anybody. It didn't do anything. All it did was make you sick potentially. Right? You know, all the people that got the covid shot, got the booster, and then were sick the next week. It makes no sense why you would do that instead of just letting your body run into it and then fight it naturally anyways. You're just putting it into people. What, And that's the actual vaccine, not the gene therapy. Those are two separate things, but when you're putting a live virus into your body, why not just if you're getting the same thing anyways, you're gonna build antibodies. And actually, as Dr. Fauci himself said, getting the virus. And becoming, You know, having your antibodies pre-built as a result of it is better than actually getting a booster shot. We know that factually, and he said it before he was getting pedaled money from pharmaceutical companies to push this vaccination goes on the same, and this is coming from Fox News State Supreme Court found that being vaccinated does not stop the spread of covid 19. Hmm. It says that the New York State, State Supreme Court has reinstated all employees who were fired for not being vaccinated, ordering back pay, and saying that their rights had been violated. The court found Monday that being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting Covid. 19 Proven in the court of law, New York City's mayor, Eric Adams claimed earlier this year that his administration would not rehire employees who had been fired over their vaccination status. New York City alone fired over 1400 employees for being un vaccinated earlier this year. After the city adopted a vaccine mandate under former mayor, Bill de de Blassio. Many of those fired were police officers and firefighters. I hope they don't return. I hope they return and then leave after they get their back pay. Actually, I think that's absolutely the best way to go. If you're a, that's the biggest FU that you could ever get, the state, give the state for firing you in the first place. Join them. Stay there for a month, take your $40,000 payout and then quit. Go to another state where they wouldn't have done that to you to begin with. All right. It goes on to say that, uh, New York firefighters associated President Andrew de Blassio or Andrew sbo and fed, uh, FDM y Uniform Fire Officers Association, President condemned Adams earlier the year after the mayor allowed an exception to the vaccine mandate for athletes and performers, even as firefighters were still being fired over their status. The pair called on the city to expand the exception to all New York. Said, we're here to say that the support to we support the revocation of the vaccine mandate to the mayor amounts on Thursday. Now, if I recall correctly, I'm fairly positive that Project Veritas put out a video of the Mayor of New York calling people like he saying a bunch of names about people, uh, who are the federal employees in the vaccine mandates. So let me see if I can find that video and play it for you guys, because I think it's really telling the way that he actually went about talking about these things. I'm, I'm fairly positive that this was him. Let me go ahead and pull up Project Veritas on Instagram. and I be fairly positive. It was the mayor of the, of New York, who was the one in this video being called out for saying these things. But I, I don't wanna waste any of your time here, so let's, let's go ahead. I'll, if I, if I do find it, I'll put it in the sub stack for you. And even if I'm wrong, I'll put that in the sub stack too. I'll find the video and then we'll. All right, so the next thing that we're gonna talk about here is going to be proposition three. So speaking about court mandates, there's a proposal going on in Michigan right now that is actually threatening the children in Michigan with this liberal ideology, extreme ideology, and I don't use that term lightly. This is crazy. Let, I'll read you about it. But from my understanding, I've gotten, I, I've been seeing a ton of things around, you know, proposal three Protect women, right? And it's coming off the backs of the Roe v Wade decision. They're, they're trying to utilize that platform to say that what this Prop three is doing is it's giving women rights to have an abortion, but it does far more than that, far, far more than that, and things that are very wrong. So this says that Planned Parenthood, the A C L U and other pro-abortion activist promoted ballot proposed the right to reproductive freedom. Right. You see how they call these things? It's, it's so stupid. The the do not kill puppies law. Right? The right to reproductive freedom. Reproductive freedom. Reproduce is the word in there. You're taking the word reproduce and turning it into, it's exactly the opposite, . It's, you're not reproducing anything. That's not freedom to reproduce, That's freedom to end the production, to end life. But it goes on to say that the R R F I that if pass creates a new unlimited and unregulated right to abortion at any time during pregnancy and in, and an additional undefined right to reproductive freedom. This goes on, and this is coming from a Great Lakes Justice Center, which is Great Lakes JC Dot. Says The radical proposal is not solely about abortion. Rather, this poorly worded change to our state constitution creates additional new rights and invalidates numerous existing laws protecting women, children, and parents. Activists falsely claim the amend amendment merely places. The US Supreme Court ruling in Roe v Wade back into effect, which you literally is, are not doing that, that the only thing about Roe v Wade is that it's just saying we're going to leave it to the states. So if you want to, if you want to have a a vote based on whether or not abortion should be legal in Michigan, do that. But what they're doing here is even using that specifically as a Trojan horse to allow for right to reproductive freedom for children, which is the way that this is worded, has many, many negative. It says The activists falsely claim the amend amendment merely places the US Supreme Court ruling in rural v Wade back into effect. Nothing is further from the truth. If pass the R F I Enshrines in Michigan's constitution, the most extreme abortion law in America on par with China and North Korea, the expansive, vague, and broad terms used in this new law are not defined. These fundamental new constitutional rights override any conflicting statue. So this would by far be, if Prop three is passed to Michigan, would by far be the most radical decision and ruling when it comes to abortion in the entire United States would allow it to literally any point until born. And in the way that the wording is ruled here, we'll tell you that and we'll read the actual laws. But it says, the proposed amendment to Michigan's constitution will do the following. And this is a bolded list. This is not the actual statute, but we will find it and we'll read that too. It says that it allows a minor child to have an abortion without the knowledge or consent of the child's parent. It says, Because of all the encompassing exceptions, the amendment effectively guarantees the right to abortion at any time, right up to the moment of birth. Further, it effectively guarantees the right to partial birth abortion and the right to terminate a child's life in the womb at any time based on the child's disability, gender, race, or for any other reason. And then one of them listed was for the patient's health, physically or mentally. So if they come in and like, Hey, I'm really distressed that I'm about to have a baby, which almost all women are, when you're gonna have a baby, it's a stressful situation. You're about to birth a child. It's meant to be stressful. It's meant to be something that is a big deal. And big deals cause people to have anxiety, cause people to have stress. And so if you go to your doctor and say, I'm supposed to be due in two days. I don't feel like doing this and it's causing me stress. They can legally abort your child the day before if they wanted to. It goes on to say that it overrides parental rights in directing their child's upbringing and education, especially in the area of sex education. Public schools will now have the legal right to inform children or inform parents about any issue relating to reproductive freedom In sexuality, parents will no longer be able to excuse their child from sex education classes because minors will have their own fundamental right to reproductive freedom, separate and dis distinct from his or her parents. What in the world, there's a reason, like we've talked about the advertising thing before, there's a reason you cannot advertise to children because children are dumb. The reason they cannot, their, their brain is not fully developed. They cannot instinctually between somebody who's trying to take advantage of them and somebody who is trying to do what's right for them. And also, your child is literally an extension of self. And you will, an individual will always have their child's best interest. Far more than any governmental agency, any corporate agency, any corporation, any group, anything. Your child, you are literally fabricated from the time that you have a child to protect that child and to do what's in the best interest of that child. Now, when you can find somebody who is mentally incapable of making right decisions for themselves, and then you can take advantage of them for profit, you know, like the $1.3 million that they make by convincing one single child that they're trans and having to do a lifetime of, of transitions and medications. And surgeries. $1.3 million is what it. Telling the parents that they no longer have any access to deciding whether or not their child has the right to go to sex education, What they're being taught about it, whether they can actually consent or not, is horrifying. Horrifying. And at what age? What age do you decide you starting to do it at 4, 5, 6, kindergarten, you're gonna have sex education classes, you're gonna have teachers pushing sexual ideology, you're gonna have these books explaining sodomy and all of these things that are far, far more advanced when you should be learning it than what you should be learning at kindergarten, first grade, second grade, fifth grade, sixth grade, seventh grade. I can go on with what these, Is it actually in these books that are in our children's schools? If you go watch the video, there was a, a whole group of families in Dearborn, 500, 600 parents at a parent meeting in Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn is a very predominant, uh, Muslim and uh, Muslim and. Gosh, I'm, I'm, uh, CDE culture. So Muslim and Calen two different, I, I believe two different religious ideologies, but very fundamentally, uh, connected in the, in the cultures. And so there was all of these parents, so many parents piled into this room saying, We do not want you teaching our children these things. We have a say in what you are going to push on our children, Right? And then you understand the, those communities, they're, they're very protective of their children's in, in, in, from a religious sense too. What they're being taught about sex and those types of things. So rightfully, they're sitting in front of the school board saying, You're teaching things to our children that go against our religion. You have books in our libraries that go against their religion. And so they had a massive group of parents all getting extremely, extremely irritated with the, the school board at the school board. Saying, You know what? They're not even gonna make, they're, we're gonna sign a bunch of, a bunch of people are gonna sign this petition and we're gonna get them out of the school board. Then we are going to take over that school board and make the decisions for what's right for our parents. And that's what you have to do. 100% in today's environment is you have to take control of your child's life. You have to be the one who is making these decisions for your child's wife. Not, not. Abdicating the responsibility of your child's dis uh, life to corporations and government entities. That is literally what is going wrong in our world today, as parents have gotten so passive in the roles that they're playing in their child's life, when it comes to schools, when it comes to the entertainment that they're taking in, when it comes to the, the sex education that they're getting, when it comes to the, the things that they're consuming on a daily basis. Giving your child a phone at five, six, seven, ten, twelve, fourteen years old is ridiculous. There's no reason you should be giving your child infinite access to literally anything at any given time at the touch of a button. The second that they get bored. And so what parents have done is we, we've gotten into a position where parents have become pressing. They so gotten, gotten used to pressing the easy button saying, Oh, okay, nine o'clock I drop my cadets to school. What happens there? I don't care, but I don't have to deal with my. Oh, and then after that we're gonna, you know, come home, put on Disney Channel and let them watch Baymax talk to a trans person about how to use a, a pad properly when they're actually speaking to a man. Oh, and then we're gonna read a book about the anti-racist baby and abdicate that because it was pushed at the front forefront of Barnes and Noble book shelves in our kids' sections. We need to take control back of what we do as parents. And that's where this begins. It's, it's, it's far a, it's a little too late for the way that we were brought up our, you know, maybe our parents didn't exactly have these ideas of mine or didn't understand the venom that came with abdicating your responsibility to corporate entities or corporations or government entities. But there is an agenda. There's always an agenda. And behind every government organization, there is corporations that fund them. There is cism, there is contracts that being sent out to different companies. There is politics and everything, everything, all of it. And none of those people in any of those single organizations may be the teachers. Some teachers, a hundred percent absolutely have your best kid's, best interest in mind. Now, some absolutely do not. They're more so interested in pushing their ideology than they are doing what's right for your child, and those are the people taking on those jobs. So we have to take that back the same way that these Dearborn parents said, We're gonna sign a petition. We're gonna get them out of office. We're gonna take those positions and then start to take responsibility for what our children consume. Because obviously the people that are sitting there right now are not doing it for the best interest of the children. They're doing it for political ideology, they're doing it for clout, they're doing it for money, whatever reasons you wanna call it. But it's not in the best interest of our children. Let's read a little bit more about this. It says, It creates a right for minor children to procure a sex change via permanent and irreversible sterilization. Without the consent of the child's parents, without having to tell the parents at school, the teacher can. Literally connect them with somebody to go get a sterilization, to go get a literal body part chopped off of them inverted and inserted inside of their body with how many unbelievable implications in their mental health and physical health for the rest of their lives. Go watch the clips that I did last on the, what is a woman documentary breakdown? And it will be heartbreaking, heartbreaking to see these people dealing with these issues being pushed, this ideology being told that, Oh, just come to our side. It's safe over here. You're a, you're a a, a protected class now. Nobody can make fun of you. You're trans. It's cool. Look at this flag we got. Look at this hair color that your teacher has and if you wanna get a transition surgery, I have a number right here for you, kid. It's right here. Just, just call this number. You don't need to tell your parents. We have proposal three. Now. You don't need to tell your parents about your, your transition. We don't need to to have consent for children. They can decide when they consent. It creates a right for a minor child to procure a sex change via permanent and irreversible sterilization without the knowledge or consent of the child's parents, I would, oh my gosh, if somebody did that to my child and convince them at whatever age as a child to go get that done. Without my consent, I am burning down the institution metaphorically. Cia, if you're listening. Um, now this also said that it allows school clinics to provide contraceptives to children without the knowledge or consent of their parents. Creates new sexuality rights based on reproductive freedom that would alleviate over all other fundamental constitutional rights, prohibits enforcement of criminal statutes against statutory rape and child sexual. What and other similar statutes. In other words, sex between a 12 year old and a 45 year old man will now be protected under this new right. So long as the child consents. It literally changes the consent law in Michigan for having sex. So a seven year old, 10 year old, 12 year old, 15 year old can now consent to sex with an adult because Proposition three says that your child, your underdeveloped dumb child who's not smart enough to make their own decisions when it comes to these things, that is the reason for consent laws. You're literally legalizing pedophilia through proposition three. It's disgusting, rids the state of its current consent laws. It invalidates age consent laws, um, protecting minors. There is no age limitation for the amendment. In addition, numerous other laws regarding bans of state funding of abortion, parental notification, parental consent, informed consent laws, 24 hour waiting periods will all be invalidated. Provides the new right to reproductive freedom to all individuals, including children. The word individual is not defined. All children are individuals. The new right intentionally and by design does not exclude minors. It alleviates any type of sexual activity relating to reproductive freedom to the status of a fundamental constitutional right. This will include transgender rights In many other forms of sexual expression. Minors will be entitled to access puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, gender transition surgeries, and similar medical treatments as they all relate to sterilization and reproductive freedom. It says that it creates a new, undefined anti-discrimination protection that requires a government enforcement of those radical new fundamental rights. Abortions may be performed by any healthcare professional. The phrase healthcare professional is not defined in the amendment and is not limited to doctors. You literally do not have to have a degree to con, to continue within to do an abortion. . So what chiropractic offices are now gonna be doing abortions, they literally have the term doctor. You're gonna start slinging abortions outside of your chiropractor. I guarantee it. If they can profit from it, a lot of of chiropractors will do that under this new statue. And that's horrifying. Literally no. And then what the same thing Planned Parenthood's doing where they're selling the organs for profit immediately out the back door as you go watch those videos, those underground might have been Project Veritas that found the, the woman from Planned Parenthood talking about getting a Lamborghini from all the money that they were making from selling the stem cells, selling the tissues of all the children that they killed as an abortion guarantees the right to reproductive freedom to all prisoners, foster children, and all individuals under the care of the state. Wow. It's so crazy. It's so vague. It's so ridiculous. I wanna see if I can find. The actual law on it. Let me see if I can find the statue cuz it's so, it's such a minor. The, the article that I just read to you is longer than it itself, than the actual referendum or the, the change in the constitution. So let's go ahead and see if we can actually pull up MCL 7 55 20 Michigan Code of Law and let's pull it up. Here we go. Michigan Legislature, 7 55 20. Oh, that's the specific one. Let's see if we can find the actual, the actual full writeup of Proposition three. Michigan Full. That's what we're Googling. And if you didn't know, stop using Google. Start using something called Brave browser. Brave browser doesn't take any, uh, doesn't take any of your data. Use Brave Search. Actually, Brave Browser is nice too, but definitely use Brave Search instead of Google. So let's see. It says that. Who are the campaigns? The ballot title, The ballot summary. Okay. Article one of Section 28, Ripe to Reproductive Freedom. The ballot measure would add section 28 to Article one, Michigan Constitution of the Michigan Constitution. Following the underlying text would be added. All right, here it says, And this is it. This is it. This is the whole thing. This says Article one, Section 28, Right to Reproductive Freedom one. Every individual, every individual has a fundamental right to reproductive freedom, which entails the right to make and effectuate decisions about all matters relating to pregnancy, including but not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, sterilization, abortion care, miscarriage management, and infertility care. An individual's right to reproductive freedom shall not be denied, burdened nor infringed upon, unless justified by a compelling state interest achieved by the least restrictive means. Now, withstanding the above, the state may regulate the provision of abortion care about after fetal viability, provided that in no circumstance shall the state prohibit an abortion that in the professional judgment of an intending healthcare professional is medically indicated to protect a life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual or mental health. The state shall not discriminate in the protection or enforcement of the fundamental right. The state shall not penalize, prosecute, or otherwise take adverse action against an individual based on their actual potential perceived or alleged pregnancy outcomes, including, but not limited to miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion. Nor shall the state penalize, prosecute or otherwise take adverse action against someone for aiding or assisting a pregnant individual in exercising the right to reproductive freedom with their voluntary. For the purposes of this section, a state of interest is compelling only if the limited purpose of protecting the health of an individual seeking care consistent with accepted clinical trials of practice or evidence-based medicine, and does not infringe upon what that individual's autonomous decision making. Fetal viability means the point in pregnancy when the professional judgment of the attending healthcare professional and based on the particular facts of the case, there is a significant likelihood of the fetus's sustained survival outside of the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures. The section, this section shall be self-executing. Any provision of the section shall held invalid, shall be severable from the remaining portions of the section. Now, this is scary because this is a very high likelihood of passing unless a people go out in droves in Michigan and start lobbying and, and getting around the idea that they should not be allowing this vague, and, and again, I am not for I, I am not pro. I am pro-life in that sense. And, and I don't even like thinking of it that way. I, I think that there are certain circumstances, you know, where we wanted to get into very, very small, limited percentage, low likelihood that very, very small percentage of abortions are being done for the things that I believe that should be protected. It's like 90, 97 or 98% of all abortions are done under the guise of convenience. I made this statistic up, but I'm fairly sure it's like 97% are done not for any specific health reason at all. Socioeconomic, it's, uh, convenience. It's whatever you wanna call it. But the reason that this has, there, there's 10 million, $600,000 that has been donated to the cause for proposition three and 426,000 for those who oppose. And you gotta wonder, A C L U of Michigan, American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, who to thought that a company profiting from the fetal tissue and. Stem cells of dead babies are the ones that are actually funding to get this passed. Hmm. Seems like there's a vested interest there. Planned Parenthood advocates of Michigan. Who would have thought? And the only ones that are sending money to contribute towards donors to oppose. This is kfc, Michigan State Council. Right to Life of Michigan. Michigan Catholic Conference. So there you have it. Get out. Vote, Vote, Vote. Michigan. Because this Proposition three is the single most radical legislator, the single most vague legislation, the single most radical legislation that has ever been proposed surrounding abortion, surrounding children's rights to get sterilized without parental consent surrounding a child's right to consent to sex at whatever age that they feel necessary. As long as the child says, or was convinced to believe that they should be able to consent. It's crazy. It's horrible. It should not pass and only because of the climate that's been created around Roe v. Wade, is this even a consideration? Because I guarantee you, if you go person to person in Michigan, outside the state halls and, and actually ask people whether they think that a 12 year old should be able to consent to have sex with a 45 year old and that 45 year old should no longer be prosecuted for doing so, Proposition three literally legalizes pedophilia in that way, they are no longer liable, as long as they can convince the seven year old, eight year old, 10 year old that they want to consent. And that makes me sick to my stomach, makes me sick to my stomach to hear that that's even a possibility. So get out, vote, do something about it. Spread the word. If you're not in Michigan, at least post about it. There's no reason that just because it's not in your state, because this is coming to a state near you if you do not speak up, even if you're not in. Speak out about it because this is the manifestation of radical ideology. That is all this is. So on that note, thank you guys for listening. I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart.

The Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire", or European Council for Nuclear Research ie: C E R N is supposedly the highest pinnacle of scientific research on earth. But the collider they have assembled to “discover the God particle” is just a cover story for their real intent. Draped in “advanced science”, the pagan satanic aesthetic prolific throughout their promo pieces and inaugural parades are extremely dark and filled to the brim with half nude dancers and whirling dervishes being driven on by a baphomet figure and nephilim angels cultivating in faux orgies.This is science? The statue of SHIVA the god/goddess of destruction that stands proudly in front of their main building has been the subject of intense controversy including a supposed fake satanic sacrifice captured by an amateur photographer that has been mostly deleted off the internet. Digging deeper (and even quoting one of the higher ups), their true intent is to open up a demonic portal for the gods (nephilim). This show is a WILD RIDE indeed.

A group of climate scientists warn that the potential for humanity's mass extinction has been dangerously underexplored. On this week's On the Media, we hear how facing our planet's fragility could inspire hope, instead of despair, and a physicist explains how creation stories are essential for understanding our place in the universe. Luke Kemp [@LukaKemp], a Research Associate at Cambridge's Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, on a new study that says we need to put more attention on the possibility of human extinction and other climate catastrophes. Bryan Walsh [@bryanrwalsh], editor of Vox's ‘Future Perfect,' also explains why our brains have a hard time processing catastrophes like climate change. Listen. Charles Piller [@cpiller], investigative reporter for Science Magazine, on his six month investigation into how faulty images may invalidate groundbreaking advancements in Alzheimer's research. Listen. Guido Tonelli, a particle physicist at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on the importance of creation myths, and what scientists can tell us about the fragility of the universe. Listen.

Our guest today is Glenn Jessome, an academic, entrepreneur and businessman, from Nova Scotia, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, and an Associate in Education. He is here today to discuss CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research), and how its experiments are not a ‘physical or spiritual' threat to mankind, but merely a metaphorical black hole that engulfs money, electricity, and resources. Glenn also discusses with Laura-Lynn the growing ‘Culture of Death' with western health professionals, how this has affected the lives/deaths of his loved ones and of others, in an attempt to minimize the reach of such horrible ordeals that he has experienced. Also, there are many stories to bring to light: including the ‘Sudden Adult Death Syndrome' that is baffling Canadian health officials, and a new video of Chrystia Freeland being questioned about current and future status of the ArriveCan app.   SHOW RESOURCES: https://bit.ly/3P0OnX6 ☆ We no longer can trust our mainstream media, which is why independent journalists such as myself are the new way to receive accurate information about our world.

Ten years ago, a team operating the world's largest particle collider made history by discovering the Higgs boson particle, a finding key to understanding the creation of the universe, earning it the nickname the “God particle.”After a more than three year pause for upgrades, the accelerator, run by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, is collecting data again. This time it's out to prove the existence of another mysterious substance — dark matter. Though scientists largely believe dark matter is real, none have been able to see or create it. Data collection and power upgrades made to the particle smasher, called the Large Hadron Collider, could provide researchers one of their best chances to visualize and understand the substance. Where is the money coming from to fund these experiments and since it can affect the entire earth why don't most people know that this experiment is happening or happened for a 3rd time on July 2, 2022? What are the longterm affects? What does the Mandela effect have to do with crashing of particles?! This is self admittedly a scientist laboratory kerfuffle EP. Dive right in

ICYMI: A math and physics student from the Bay of Islands is travelling to Geneva, Switzerland for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Jonathan Barrett won a scholarship with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, also known as CERN. He'll spend the summer doing research and working with other scientists from all over the world. Jonathan spoke with the CBC's Jessica Singer.

In a famous painting, Paul Gauguin posed three fundamental questions about our place in the Universe: “What are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going?” A physicist interprets these questions as follows: “What are we made of? What happened early in the Universe? What is the future of the Universe?” Particle physicists are seeking scientific answers to these questions, in particular through experiments with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Speakers Jonathan R. Ellis, Clerk Maxwell Professor of Theoretical Physics, King's College London

In today's exciting episode, okay, maybe not exciting, but always fun. Anyways, in today's episode, I talk about Mel's Hole, a mysterious legend in Washington. An 80,000+ foot deep hole where strange things happen, like ice lighting on fire and cooked sheep having unusual babies... yeah, you'll find out. And Nate discusses the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

The Ending of the Age The year 2020 has surpassed our imaginations and has been recorded as a year unlike any this generation has ever seen. In Matthew 24:3-14 the disciples asked Jesus an astounding question “As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. We are living in the end of that age the disciples asked Jesus about. The atmosphere has shifted open your eyes and you will see that life as we knew it has changed and is gone forever. It is time for us as believers to empty ourselves and make our vessels available to be used by the Most High. The earth is groaning in he midst of a spiritual war. We are in the midst of a pandemic no one has an answer as to how it started however it has claimed lives, hospitalised many, has forced many out of business and has closed many churches. Pushing everyone on the world wide web, where everything is centralised. It is interesting to note that the internet is an online world that was created by a the physicist Tim Berners-Lee and other physicist at CERN. The acronym stands for the European Organization for Nuclear Research located in Europe at the Franco-Swiss boarder near Geneva home of the Large Hadron Collider that produces the god particle .

I have the pleasure of interviewing many amazing women on this podcast and today is no exception. My guest is the elegant, powerful Patricia Burlaud. Patricia's journey started as a nuclear physicist and she earned her Ph.D. in High Energy Physics from the Sorbonne University in Paris. As a scientist, she worked under the direction of two Nobel Prizes winners at the Center of European Nuclear Research in Geneva. From scientist in Europe to program executive in several African counties, to global dean for a university in Dubai to now living state-side.  Over the years Patricia has created an amazing path for herself while traversing the ups and downs of life, work and family. Today, she is the founder of P. Burlaud Consulting and serves as a sounding board, a challenging advisor and an executive coach to out-of-the-box thinkers and game-changers around the world. Patricia's full bio and contact details are below. Patricia Burlaud, founder of P. Burlaud Consulting, serves as a sounding board, a challenging advisor, or an executive coach to out-of-the-box thinkers and game-changers within or outside of their organization. She offers a variety of expert consulting and global executive coaching services in leadership development, strategic planning, transitions and transformations, as well as organizational optimization, domestically or internationally. But moreover, she helps you uncover the King or the Queen you are deep within yourself so you can meaningfully impact the world. Patricia earned her Ph.D. in High Energy Physics from the Sorbonne University (Pierre & Marie Curie), Paris, France, and, as a scientist, contributed to quark physics, under the direction of two Nobel Prizes, Dr. Charpak and Dr. Rubia, at CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research) in Geneva. However, this exciting world of fundamental research led Patricia to sadly lose touch with the real-life, her family, her friends, and even her own child. Realizing this was hard, but it was time for her to change life. She then enrolled in the French Cooperation Program for Higher Education in West Africa and, with her family, worked and lived in various West African countries. As a program executive, she led crucial transformations and transitions in several universities, from Cameroun to Algeria, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Mali. Patricia's versatility and adaptability to lead through difficult situations (even wars) made her noticed by a newly created university in Dubai (UAE), Zayed University. Moving there in 2000 as a university professor, Patricia moved up as Dean for their two campuses, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UAE. In 2008, she was recruited as Global Dean by New York Institute of Technology to oversee the whole operation of its six global campuses around the world (China, Middle East, and Canada). Based in NY, she then led a team of 400+ PhD faculty and administrators to serve over 9000 students from 3 continents, from different cultures and religions, and championed collaborative leadership on a daily (or nightly) basis. With over 35+ years of experience in executive coaching around the world, and certified by both the Tony Robbins and Chloe Madanes Academy, and the Peysha's Coaching Institute Patricia Burlaud opened her own practice in 2020. She currently works with both the worldwide acclaimed executive coaches Ritch Litvin, and Shirzad Chamine. Dr. P. Burlaud is also affiliated with the American Council on Education/ Women's Higher Education Network (ACEWN), for which she served as Board Chair, and Past Board Chair of the New York State Chapter between 2008 and 2014, and as a consultant for the ACEWN National Board from 2014 to 2017. She also devoted more than 20 years to the advancement of women's education in West Africa and the Middle East, both professionally and personally.   Website: https://pburlaud-consulting.com   Email: Patricia@pburlaud-consulting.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/pburlaud-consulting

Some of the highlights of the show include:  The challenges that CERN was facing when storing, processing, and analyzing data, and why it pushed them to think about containerization.  CERN's evolution from using mainframes, to physical commodity hardware, to virtualization and private clouds, and eventually to containers. Ricardo also explains how the migration to containerization and Kubernetes was started. Why there was a big push from groups that focus on reproducibility to explore containerization.  How end users have responded to Kubernetes and containers. Ricardo talks about the steep Kubernetes learning curve, and how they dealt with frustration and resistance.  Some of top benefits of migrating to Kubernetes, and the impact that the move has had on their end users.  Current challenges that CERN is working through, regarding hybrid infrastructure and rising data loads. Ricardo also talks about how CERN optimizes system resources for their scientists, and what it's like operating as a public sector organization. How CERN handles large data transfers.  Links: Email:ricardo.rocha@cern.ch  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ahcorporto CERN TranscriptEmily: Hi everyone. I'm Emily Omier, your host, and my day job is helping companies position themselves in the cloud-native ecosystem so that their product's value is obvious to end-users. I started this podcast because organizations embark on the cloud naive journey for business reasons, but in general, the industry doesn't talk about them. Instead, we talk a lot about technical reasons. I'm hoping that with this podcast, we focus more on the business goals and business motivations that lead organizations to adopt cloud-native and Kubernetes. I hope you'll join me.Emily: Welcome to the Business of Cloud Native. I'm your host, Emily Omier, and today I'm here with Ricardo Rocha. Ricardo, thank you so much for joining us.Ricardo: It's a pleasure.Emily: Ricardo, can you actually go ahead and introduce yourself: where you work, and what you do?Ricardo: Yeah, yes, sure. I work at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. I'm a software engineer and I work in the CERN IT department. I've done quite a few different things in the past in the organization, including software development in the areas of storage and monitoring, and also distributed computing. But right now, I'm part of the CERN Cloud Team, and we manage the CERN private cloud and all the resources we have. And I focus mostly on networking and containerization, so Kubernetes and all these new technologies.Emily: And on a day to day basis, what do you usually do? What sort of activities are you actually doing?Ricardo: Yeah. So, it's mostly making sure we provide the infrastructure that our physics users and experiments require, and also the people on campus. So, CERN is a pretty large organization. We have around 10,000 people on-site, and many more around the world that depend on our resources. So, we operate private clouds, we basically do DevOps-style work. And we have a team dedicated for the Cloud, but also for other areas of the data center. And it's mostly making sure everything operates correctly; try to automate more and more, so we do some improvements gradually; and then giving support to our users.Emily: Just so everyone knows, can you tell a little bit more about what kind of work is done at CERN? What kind of experiments people are running?Ricardo: Our main goal is fundamental research. So, we try to answer some questions about the universe. So, what's dark matter? What's dark energy? Why don't we see antimatter? And similar questions. And for that, we build very large experiments. So, the biggest experiment we have, which is actually the biggest scientific experiment ever built, is the Large Hadron Collider, and this is a particle accelerator that accelerates two beams of protons in opposite directions, and we make them collide at very specific points where we build this very large physics experiments that try to understand what happens in these collisions and try to look for new physics. And in reality, what happens with these collisions is that we generate large amounts of data that need to be stored, and processed, and analyzed, so the IT infrastructure that we support, it's larger fraction dedicated to this physics analysis.Emily: Tell me a little bit more about some of the challenges related to processing and storing the huge amount of data that you have. And also, how this has evolved, and how it pushed you to think about containerization.Ricardo: The big challenge we have is the amount of data that we have to support. So, these experiments, each of the experiments, at the moment of the collisions, it can generate data in the order of one petabyte a second. This is, of course, not something we can handle, so the first thing we do, we use these hardware triggers to filter this data quite significantly, but we still generate, per experiment, something like a few gigabytes a second, so up to 10 gigabytes a second. And this we have to store, and then we have large farms that will handle the processing and the reconstruction of all of this. So, we've had these sort of experiments since quite a while, and to analyze all of this, we need a large amount of resources, and with time. If you come and visit CERN, you can see a bit of the history of computing, kind of evolving with what we used to have in the past in our data center. But it's mostly—we used to have large mainframes, that now it's more in the movies that we see them, but we used to have quite a few of those. And then we transitioned to physical commodity hardware with Linux servers. Eventually introduced virtualization and private clouds to improve the efficiency and the provisioning of these resources to our users, and then eventually, we moved to containers and the main motivation is always to try to be as efficient as possible, and to speed up this process of provisioning resources, and be more flexible in the way we assign compute and also storage. What we've seen is that in the move from physical to virtualization, we saw that the provisioning and maintenance got significantly improved. What we see with containerization is the extra speed in also deployment and update of the applications that run on those resources. And we also see an improving resource utilization. We already had the possibility to improve quite a bit with virtualization by doing things like overcommit, but with containers, we can go one step further by doing more efficient resource sharing for the different applications we have to run.Emily: Is the amount of data that you're processing stable? Is it steadily increasing, have spikes, a combination?Ricardo: So, the way it works is, we have what we call ‘beam' which is when we actually have protons circulating in the accelerator. And during these periods, we try to get as much collisions as possible, which means as much data as possible because this is the main ingredient we need to do physics analysis. And then with the current experiment, actually, we are quite efficient. So, we have a steady stream of data we generate from raw data is something like 70 petabytes a year, and then out of that data, we generate a lot more data be it like pre-processing, or physics analysis. So, in terms of data, we can pretty much calculate how much storage we need. What we see spikes is in the computing part.Emily: And is the amount of data, are you constantly having to increase your data storage capacity?Ricardo: Yeah, so, yeah, that's one aspect is we never—from the raw data, we keep it forever. So, actually, we need to increase what we do, which is kind of particular to the way CERN has been doing things is we rely a lot on tape for archival. And this has allowed us to—because states still evolve, and the capacity of the tape still evolves, this actually allows us to increase the capacity on our data center without having to get more space or more robots. We just increase the capacity of the tape storage. And then for the on-disk storage, though, we do have to increase capacity regularly.Emily: Who spearheaded the push to containerization and Kubernetes? Was it within the IT? Who in the organization was really pushing for it?Ricardo: Yeah. That's an interesting question because it happens gradually in different places. I wouldn't say it's a decision taken from top; bottom. It's more like a movement that starts slowly. And there's two main triggers, I would say. One of them is from the IT department, the people run the services because some of our engineers are exposed to these new technologies frequently, and there's always someone that sees some benefit, does a prototype, and then presents to their colleagues and this kind of trigger. So, it's more on the sense of simplifying operations, deployment, all the monitoring that is required, and also improve resource usage. So, this was one of the triggers. The other trigger is actually from our end users. One big aspect of science, and specifically here—physics—is that there's a big need to share a setup. When someone performs some analysis, it's quite common that they want to share the exact same setup with their colleagues, and make sure that this analysis is reproducible. So, there was a huge push from groups that focus on reproducibility to explore containerization and the possibility to just wrap all the dependencies in one piece of software and make sure that even if things change dramatically in the infrastructure, they still have one blob that can be run at any moment, be it in five years, ten years, and that they also can share easily with their colleagues.Emily: Do you think that that's been accomplished? Has it made it easier for the physicists who collaborate?Ricardo: I think, yeah, from the experience that I have working with some groups in this area, I think that that has been accomplished. And actually last year, we did some exercise that had two goals: one was to make sure that we could scale out using these technologies to a large amount of resources, and the second was that we could prove that this technology can be used for reusability and reproducibility. And we took, as an example, the analysis that originated the Nobel Prize in 2013, which was the analysis that found the Higgs boson at the time. So, this was code that was pretty old, and the run for this analysis was done in 2012, with old hardware, old code, and what we did is we wrapped the code as it was at the time in a container, and we could run it in infrastructure that is modern today using Kubernetes, and containers, and we could reproduce the results in a much faster way because we have better resources and all this new technologies, but using exactly the same code that was used at the time.Emily: Wow. And how would you say that moving to Kubernetes and to containers has changed the experience for end-users for the scientists?Ricardo: Yeah. So, there, I think it depends on which—how to put it—which step of the transition you're at, I think. There's clearly—like, the people that are familiar with Kubernetes, and at ease with these kind of technologies, they will tell about the benefits quite easily. But one thing that we saw is that unlike the transition from physical to virtualization where the resources still felt the same—you would still SSH to your machines, and the tools inside the virtual machines were still very similar—an, like, that—the transition to containerization and to Kubernetes has a steep learning curve. So, we have both some resistance from some people and also some frustration at the start. So, we promote all these trainings, and we do webinars internally to try to help with this, this jump. But then the measure of benefits once you start using this are quite clear. Like if you're managing a service, you see that deploying updates becomes much much easier. And then if you have to monitor, restart, collect metrics, all of this is well integrated because of this way of declaring how applications should look like, and how they should work, and just delegating to the orchestrator on how to handle this. I think yeah, people have seen this benefit quite a lot from the infrastructure part, from the service management as well.Emily: What do you think has been surprising or unexpected in the transition to Kubernetes and containers? I think the first thing that I'm interested in is unpleasant surprises: things that were harder than expected.Ricardo: Yep. I think this steep learning curve is one. Yeah, when you start using containers, it's not that complicated. Like if you—I don't know—build a Docker file, create your container is not that complicated, but when you jump in the full system, we do see some people having some kind of resistance, I would say, at the start. And it's quite important to have this kind of dissemination activities internally. And then the other thing that we realized—but it's kind of specific to our infrastructure because I mentioned that we have all these needs for computing capacity, and because we have a large data center, but it's not enough, we actually have a network of institutes around the world and data centers that collaborate with us, and that we developed this technology over the last almost 20 years now. And we had our own ways to, for example, distribute software to these sites. And by moving to containers, this poses a challenge because then the software now is wrapped in this well—defined image; it's distributed by registries, and this doesn't really match all the systems we had before. So, we have to rethink all these aspects of a very large, distributed infrastructure that has limitations, but we know about them and we know how to deal with them, and really learn how to do this when we start using containers, how to distribute the software, how to distribute the images and all the tracking that is required around this. So, for us in this area, it's not something we thought at the start, but it became pretty obvious after a while.Emily: Makes sense. What specific resistance did you meet, and how did you overcome it?Ricardo: Yeah, so I think we really need to show the benefit in some cases. We have people that are very proactive, of course, into exploring these technologies, but in some cases—because for many people, this is not their core work. So, if you're a physicist, you want to execute your analysis or get your workloads done. You don't necessarily want to know all the details about infrastructure, so you need to hide this. But if you are involved in this, you kind of have to relearn a bit, how to do system operations and service, how you do your tasks of service manager. So, you really need a learning process to understand how containers work, how you deploy things in Kubernetes. You have to redefine a lot of the structure of how your application is deployed. If you had a configuration management system that you were using—Puppet, Ansible, whatever—you have to transition to this new model of deploying things. So, I think if you don't see this as part of your core work, you are less motivated to do the transition. But yeah, I think this happens. It happened in the past already, like when we transition to automated configuration management, when we change configuration management systems, there's always a change that is required. Yeah, we are also lucky that in this research area, people are open-minded. So, yeah, we do organize a lot of different activities in-house. We do what we call ‘container office hours' weekly, where people can come and ask questions. We will organize regular webinars in different topics, and we have a lot of internal communication systems where we try to be responsive.Emily: What do you think are the benefits that, when you encounter somebody who's not super excited about this—or, when you encountered—what are the benefits that you usually highlight?Ricardo: Yeah. So, actually, we've been collecting from some users that have finished this transition what do they think, and the main benefits they say is in the speed of provisioning. In our previous setup, sometimes you can think that provisioning a cluster can take up to an hour, even in some cases more, to provision a full cluster, while now provisioning a full Kubernetes cluster, even a large one can take less than 10 minutes. And then even more when you do the deployment of the applications or when you do an update to an application, because of the way things are structured, you can really trust that this will happen within seconds and that you can apply these changes very quickly. If you have a large application that is distributed in many nodes, even if you have an automation system, this can take several minutes, or up to an hour or more, for that change to be applied everywhere, while with this containerization and orchestration offered by Kubernetes we can reduce that to just a couple of seconds and be sure that the state is correct; we don't have to do some extra modifications; we just trust the system in most cases. I think those have been the two main aspects. And then for more advanced use cases, I would say that one benefit is that in some cases, we have tools that are deployed at CERN, but they are also deployed in other sites—as I mentioned, we have this large network—and one thing, because of the how popular Kubernetes became and these technologies, is that they can develop the application at CERN, rapid, and make sure that it runs well on our Kubernetes system, and in most cases, they can just take that, deploy in a different site or in a public cloud, and with no or very little modifications, they will get a similar setup running there. So, that's also a key aspect, is that we reduced the amount of work that is going into custom deployments here and there.Emily: And would that make it easier for a scientist to, say, collaborate with somebody at a different location?Ricardo: Yeah, I think that's also one aspect, is that the systems start feeling quite familiar because they're pretty similar in all these places. This is something that is happening in our own infrastructure, but if we look at public clouds, all of them offer some kind of managed Kubernetes service that in some cases have slight differences but deal—in its overall functionality, they're pretty similar. They also have the right abstractions on computing, and also on storage and network so that you don't have to know, necessarily, the details underneath.Emily: And does this also translate to physicists being able to complete their research faster?Ricardo: Yeah. So, that's another aspect that we've been investigating is that on-premise, we have this capability to improve our resource usage. So, hopefully, we can do more with the same amount of hardware, but what we've seen is that we can also explore more on-demand resources. So, I mentioned earlier this trial that we did with this Higgs analysis, and the original analysis takes almost a day. We containerized and tried to wrap it all, and we managed to run a subset of the analysis on our infrastructure—but of course, it's a production infrastructure, so we can just ask for all the 300,000 cores to run a test; we get a very small fraction of that if we want to do something like this—but what we showed is that by going, for example, to the public cloud, because the systems are offered in the same way, we took the exact same application, we deployed it in a public cloud, in this case into GCP, using GKE, and we can trust, or we can imagine that they're offering us infinite capacity as long as we pay, but we only pay for what we use. And basically, we could scale-out, and in this experiment, we scaled out to 25,000 cores. And we could reduce what took initially one day, and then eight hours, we reduced it to something less than six minutes. And that's all also all we pay. Like when we finished the analysis, we just get rid of the resources and stop paying. So, this ability to scale out in this way, explore more resources in different places—we do the same with the HPC computers as well—kind of opens up a lot of possibilities for our physicists to still rely on our large capacity, but explore this possibility of getting extra capacity and do their analysis much faster if they have access to this extra resources.Emily: Do you ever feel like there's miscommunications or mistranslations that happen between your team—the cloud team, and the end-users—the physicists?Ricardo: Well, I think their main goal is to get access to resources, so miscommunications usually happen, when the expectations are not met somehow. And this is usually because we have a large amount of users, and we have to prioritize resources. So, sometimes, yeah, sometimes they will want their resources a bit faster than they can get. So, hopefully, this ability to explore more resources from other places will also help in this area.Emily: Since starting the Cloud transition, what do you think has been easier than expected, either for your team or for the scientists that are using them?Ricardo: Well, we've done the transition to Cloud itself already back in 2013, offering this API based provisioning of resources. I think one benefit that we had was that in the initial transition to the Cloud, we rely on a software stack of OpenStack for the private cloud, and also, we now rely on Kubernetes and other products that are part of CNCF. For the containerization part, I think one big thing here has been that we always got very involved with the upstream communities, and this has paid off quite a lot. We also contribute a lot to the upstream projects. I think that's the key aspect is that we suddenly realized that things that we used to have to build in-house because we always had big data, and we had to have systems that process all this amount of data, but as big data becomes a more generic problem for other industries and companies, these communities have been built to handle this, and this has been one key aspect that we realize now that we are not alone. We can just join these communities, participate, and contribute to them, learn with them, and we give some but we get a lot more back from these communities.Emily: What are you looking for from these communities now? And what I'm trying to ask is what's the next step, the problems that you haven't solved yet that you're actively working on?Ricardo: Yeah, so our main problem right now—well, it's not a problem. It's a challenge I would say—it's that even if we have a lot of data, we are actually having a big upgrade of our experiment in just a few years, where the amount of data could well be increased by something like 100 times, so this gets us to amounts of data that are again pushing the boundaries, and we need to figure out how to handle that. But the big challenge right now is to really understand how to have hybrid infrastructure where our workloads—what we try to do is hide this fact that the infrastructure is maybe not all in our data center, but some bits are in public clouds or other centers, we try to hide this to our user. So, this hybrid approach with the clusters spanning multiple providers is something that still has open issues in terms of networking, but also because we depend so much on this amount of data, we need to understand how to distribute this data in an efficient way and make sure that the workloads run in this places correctly. If you've used public clouds before, you realize quickly that it's very easy to get things up and running, it's very easy to push data, but then when you want to have a more distributed infrastructure and move data around, there's a lot of challenges, both technically and financially. So, these are challenges that we'll have to tackle in the next couple of months or years.Emily: Yeah, in fact, I was going to ask about how you manage data transfers. I know that could be expensive, and just difficult to manage. Is that something that you feel like you've solved or…?Ricardo: Yeah, so, technically we know how to do it because we have this past experience with large distributed infrastructures, like this large collection of centers around the world that I mentioned earlier. We have dedicated links between all the sites, and we know how to manage this, and how to efficiently move the data around. And we also are quite well connected to big hubs, to the scientific network hubs in Europe like [JANET], but also direct links to some cloud providers. So, technically we've experimented this, we can have efficient movement of the data we have built over the years to systems that can handle this, and we have the physical infrastructure as well. I think the challenge is understanding the cost models of this: when things are worth moving around, or just move the workloads to where the data is, and how to tackle this. So, we need to understand better how we do this, and also how we account our users when this is happening. This is not a problem that we've solved yet.Emily: Do you also have to have any way to put guardrails on what scientists can and cannot do? To what extent do you need to manage centrally and then let the scientists do whatever they want, but within a certain parameter?Ricardo: Yeah, so our scientists are grouped in what we call experiments, which are linked to physical experiments underground. These groups are well defined, and the amount of resources that they get are constantly renegotiated, but they are well defined. So, we know which share go to each group of users, but one very important point for us is that we need to try to optimize resource usage. So, if for some reason, a group that has a certain amount of resources allocated is not using them, we allow other groups to just increase a bit—temporarily—their usage, but then we need this mechanism of fair share to balance the usage over a large amount of time. So, using this model on-premises, we know how to do the accounting and management of this. Integrating this to a more flexible infrastructure where we can explore resources from different cloud providers and centers, yeah, it's something we are working on. But we do have this requirement that all of it has to be accounted, and over time, we have to make sure that everyone gets their share.Emily: Do you think everybody feels like the goals that you set out in moving to containers and Kubernetes, that you've met those goals? I mean, do you think everybody's, sort of, satisfied that it was a success?Ricardo: Yeah, I'm not sure we are at that point, yet. I think when we present these exercises, like, what we did that very large scale, that there is a clear improvement. I think people get excited about this. Now, we need to make sure that all of this is offered in a very easy way so that people are happy. But what it also shows—this kind of experiments, and I think it's where physicists get more interested, also, in this kind of technology, is that it makes it much easier to explore not only generic computing resources, but exploring dedicated resources such as accelerators, GPUs, or more custom accelerators like TPUs and IPUs, that we wouldn't have access, necessarily, in our data center, when we offer the potential to have a much easier way to explore these resources and have some sort of central accounting, then, yeah, they get excited because they know that this on-demand offering of GPUs has a lot of potential to speed up their analysis, and without having to overprovision our internal resources, which is something that we wouldn't be allowed to do.Emily: I'm imagining you don't really have much of a comparison, but I'm thinking about what's unique about being a public sector organization using this technology or being part of the open-source community and what's different from being in a private company.Ricardo: Yeah, I think one aspect is that we can't necessarily easily choose our providers because it's public sector, so maybe the tendering process is a bit different from a private company. I don't know exactly, but I could imagine that there are differences in this area. But also the type of workloads we do are quite different. One area that is kind of appearing from industry that is similar to what we do is machine learning, because there's this large batch workloads for machine learning model training. This is a lot of what we do, the majority of what we do. So, a traditional IT company in the industry would be more interested in providing services. In our case, we do that as well, but I would say 80 percent of our computing is not that. It's large batch submissions that need to execute as fast as possible, so the model is very different. This is especially important when we start talking about multi-cluster because our requirements are much simpler for multi-cluster—or multi-cloud then the requirements of a company that needs to expose services to their end-users.Emily: Is there anything else that you'd like to add that I haven't thought to ask?Ricardo: No, I think we covered most of the motivations behind our transition. I would say that I mentioned that one of the challenges is the amount of data that we will have in this upgrade. But I think we did—it could now happen, but it looks like it might happen—we did is that we need to find new computing models to do our analysis than the traditional way we used to do, and this seems to involve, these days, a lot of machine learning. So, I think one thing that we will see that we will benefit a lot, also, from what's happening in the industry is all these frameworks for improving machine learning. And for us, it's also nice to see that a lot of these frameworks are actually relying on this cloud-native Kubernetes type of technologies because it will mean that we are doing something right on the infrastructure, and we might benefit also to upper layers very soon.Emily: All right, one last question. What is an engineering tool that you can't live without, your favorite tool?Ricardo: Ah, okay. That's… well, I would say it's my desktop setup, I would say. I've been a longtime Linux user, and the layout I have, and the tools I use daily are the ones that make me productive, be it to manage my email, calendar, whatever. I think that's one. Yeah, I've learned to rely on Docker for quick prototyping of different environments as well, testing different setups. Yeah, I haven't thought about that. But I would say something in this area.Emily: And where could listeners connect with you or follow you?Ricardo: They can contact me by my CERN email which is ricardo.rocha@cern.ch. Or I also have a Twitter account, which is at @ahcorporto. I can pass the name after. But yeah, those are probably the two main points of contact.Emily: Okay, fabulous. Well, thank you so much for joining me.Ricardo: Thank you. This was great. Thanks.Emily: Thanks for listening. I hope you've learned just a little bit more about the business of cloud native.
