Snake Island, off the coast of Brazil, is one of the scariest places on Earth because it's packed with deadly snakes! It's home to the golden lancehead viper, a rare species whose venom is so toxic it can melt human flesh and cause severe injury within minutes. There are reportedly one to five snakes per square meter on the island, so it's almost impossible to walk around without running into one. The government has banned people from going there, and even locals are too afraid to visit. Only a few scientists and the Brazilian Navy are allowed on the island, but they have to take extreme precautions. Snake Island is so dangerous it's like something out of a movie!

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. After today, the next four weeks will be all about invertebrates, or animals without a backbone, because it's almost Invertebrate August! But this week let's learn about some animals that are basically nothing but backbones, snakes! Thanks to Eilee, BlueTheChickenWing, and Richard from NC for their suggestions! Also, if you like enamel pins even slightly as much as I do, I'm starting a Kickstarter in a few weeks to make some more. These will be bigger than the ones I made a few years ago and will include an aye-aye. Where else are you going to get an aye-aye enamel pin? There's a link in the show notes if you want to sign up for an email reminder when the campaign goes live in mid-August. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kateshaw/familiar-friends-enamel-pins Anyway, let's start with Snake Island, suggested by Eilee. Snake Island is off the coast of Brazil in South America, and it's quite small, only about 106 acres total, or 43 hectares. It's hilly and a little over half of it is covered with a temperate rainforest, while the rest is grassy or just bare rocks. No one lives there these days and it's a protected area that only scientists are allowed to visit, with the exception of members of the Brazilian navy who occasionally stop by to maintain the lighthouse that keeps ships from smashing into the rocky coast. Lots of birds live on the island or visit there, but other than that it's mostly just snakes. Specifically, the critically endangered golden lancehead pit viper lives on Snake Island and nowhere else in the world. It can grow nearly four feet long, or 118 cm, and is pale gold or golden-brown in color with darker splotches. It's also incredibly venomous—but no one has ever been bitten by one as far as we know. If somehow you were bitten by one, it probably wouldn't be a pleasant situation but you also probably wouldn't die. That's mainly because the golden lancehead's venom is adapted to kill birds and reptiles, not mammals. And that's because there are no mammals living on Snake Island. The golden lancehead spends most of its time in trees or bushes, hunting for birds. It mainly eats two particular species of small bird that live on the island, although it will also eat other birds, lizards, and invertebrates like insects. Some reports say it will even eat smaller golden lanceheads. There's another snake that lives on the island, Sauvage's snail-eater, and the golden lancehead might occasionally snack on one of those. The snail-eater is also present on mainland Brazil and isn't venomous. You can probably guess that it mainly eats snails. It's small and thin, lives in trees, and is brownish-yellow with darker stripes and splotches. The issue with Snake Island and its snakes is that there isn't that much land available for the snakes to live on, and the forest has been damaged by human activity. Big chunks of forest were cleared by fire when people decided to try growing bananas on the island, which didn't work very well. No one lives there now, but poachers do occasionally visit the island to catch snakes for the illegal wildlife trade. The golden lancehead is starting to show signs of inbreeding and disease as a result. As if that wasn't bad enough, because the island is so close to the coast of Brazil, and mainland Brazil has its own problems with deforestation, fewer birds are migrating through the area every year.
Welcome to Brazil's Bermuda Triangle. Snake Island. Where your next step could easily be your last, and this is said with no exaggeration. Thousands of extremely venomous snakes - the Golden Lance Head, call this place home.

Music kind of fell by the wayside. 42 00:03:11,355 --> 00:03:17,395 Fast forward 20 years, that marriage ended, and my sister, who is probably one 43 00:03:17,395 --> 00:03:21,455 of my biggest fans, told me that I needed to start playing again, basically. 44 00:03:21,715 --> 00:03:26,035 A year later, I released my first album, and it was all songs written while 45 00:03:26,035 --> 00:03:28,775 I was going through a divorce, so they were very angry songs. 46 00:03:30,355 --> 00:03:33,555 A few years after that, well, about a year and a half after that, 47 00:03:33,595 --> 00:03:39,115 actually, I released a second EP entitled Tuwache Vida, which was songs I had 48 00:03:39,115 --> 00:03:40,995 written about genocide in Africa. 49 00:03:41,455 --> 00:03:43,755 Something that was pretty near and dear to my heart. 50 00:03:44,655 --> 00:03:48,655 And then I joined a band. I was hired gun guitar player, 51 00:03:48,775 --> 00:03:53,215 played with them for about six years and I was having a blast and everything, 52 00:03:53,315 --> 00:03:56,695 but it got to be a little much, you know, everybody in the band was working 53 00:03:56,695 --> 00:04:01,255 full-time day jobs and the band was starting to have a little bit of success, 54 00:04:01,335 --> 00:04:03,735 but not enough that any of us could quit our jobs. 55 00:04:04,035 --> 00:04:08,555 Okay. So, so I said, I was getting a little burned out. So I said basically 56 00:04:08,555 --> 00:04:10,875 that I needed a brief hiatus. 57 00:04:11,355 --> 00:04:15,575 And that hiatus actually, which was going to originally be a month or two, 58 00:04:15,615 --> 00:04:17,555 turned into 12 years. Oh, wow. 59 00:04:17,915 --> 00:04:19,975 Yeah, yeah. Pretty, pretty surprising. 60 00:04:20,535 --> 00:04:26,595 But then the pandemic happened and my full-time day job, I was out and about. 61 00:04:26,675 --> 00:04:29,235 I worked through a whole pandemic, which was pretty stressful. 62 00:04:29,755 --> 00:04:34,435 And when things started coming out of that, I realized I was in kind of a bad place mentally. 63 00:04:34,895 --> 00:04:38,795 So I decided I was going to start playing music again, just for my own personal 64 00:04:38,795 --> 00:04:42,455 therapy. You know, just it was something I enjoyed, something I loved, 65 00:04:42,455 --> 00:04:46,555 and it was something that took my mind off of everything else that was going on. 66 00:04:46,755 --> 00:04:50,815 And so I had absolutely no intention of getting back into the scene. 67 00:04:51,295 --> 00:04:55,475 But as I started playing, you know, and I was playing when we're kids, 68 00:04:55,655 --> 00:04:59,015 we play for the pure enjoyment and for the innocence of it, you know. 69 00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:02,455 So that was kind of the mindset I was going to bring into it this time. 70 00:05:02,695 --> 00:05:08,795 And I was I was playing for just for the pure enjoyment. And but before long, my muse showed up. 71 00:05:09,275 --> 00:05:11,975 And kind of smacked me in the back of the head and said oh 72 00:05:11,975 --> 00:05:15,435 welcome back i got a whole bunch of songs for you to write now and 73 00:05:15,435 --> 00:05:18,475 i started creating and i 74 00:05:18,475 --> 00:05:21,275 realized well what good are these songs if 75 00:05:21,275 --> 00:05:25,115 nobody's ever going to hear them i was really proud of them and decided all 76 00:05:25,115 --> 00:05:29,375 right well i guess i'm going to release an album and here we are back in the 77 00:05:29,375 --> 00:05:33,955 scene a lot a lot deeper than i had planned on going but yeah of it you know 78 00:05:33,955 --> 00:05:39,175 excellent so what what was what is your muse that made you really get back into this. 79 00:05:39,775 --> 00:05:41,335 Well, it's funny, but she just 80 00:05:41,335 --> 00:05:45,795 kind of showed up one day and I don't know who she is. I call her a she. 81 00:05:45,955 --> 00:05:48,715 I've never seen her or anything, but it's just. 82 00:05:49,723 --> 00:05:53,603 It's kind of a cliche when we talk to certain musicians about, 83 00:05:53,683 --> 00:05:57,963 they say, oh, well, the song was just floating in the universe and it just found 84 00:05:57,963 --> 00:06:00,023 me and filtered itself out through me. 85 00:06:00,203 --> 00:06:03,923 But a lot of the songs on this record, that's kind of the way they came. 86 00:06:04,203 --> 00:06:08,383 Just started noodling in the studio, playing around and all of a sudden the 87 00:06:08,383 --> 00:06:10,923 melody came and I'd build off of that and build off of that. 88 00:06:11,023 --> 00:06:12,243 And next thing I knew, I had a song. 89 00:06:12,663 --> 00:06:19,403 There are a couple on the album that were written for a specific purpose, like Russian warship. 90 00:06:19,483 --> 00:06:24,863 That one was, I don't know if you're familiar with the story of the Ukrainian 91 00:06:24,863 --> 00:06:26,643 soldiers on Snake Island, Ukraine. 92 00:06:27,123 --> 00:06:32,903 After Russians invaded Ukraine, a Russian warship basically told them they needed 93 00:06:32,903 --> 00:06:35,223 to surrender or they would be attacked. 94 00:06:35,663 --> 00:06:39,923 And the Ukrainians, in no uncertain terms, told the Russians where to go. 95 00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:46,883 So I wrote that song with trying to envision some of the emotions that the ukrainian 96 00:06:46,883 --> 00:06:50,563 soldiers were feeling while they were waiting for the russians to attack, 97 00:06:51,123 --> 00:06:54,823 gotcha that's that's where that song came from okay but 98 00:06:54,823 --> 00:06:58,203 like unquiet ghost i was just rehearsing to 99 00:06:58,203 --> 00:07:00,983 do a show and this melody just popped 100 00:07:00,983 --> 00:07:03,743 into my head and i started playing it and inside of 10 101 00:07:03,743 --> 00:07:06,443 minutes i had the song and there's there's a 102 00:07:06,443 --> 00:07:09,343 line in a josh ritter song called the bone 103 00:07:09,343 --> 00:07:12,363 of song where the song is basically about finding 104 00:07:12,363 --> 00:07:15,443 a bone in the woods and there are lyrics engraved on 105 00:07:15,443 --> 00:07:18,163 the bone and if you find the bone and put it back it will give you a 106 00:07:18,163 --> 00:07:23,043 song but there's a line in there it says lucky are you who finds me in the wilderness 107 00:07:23,043 --> 00:07:28,083 for i am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest and i wrote this song 108 00:07:28,083 --> 00:07:31,963 and it was like where did that come from it's like i have no idea where it came 109 00:07:31,963 --> 00:07:37,763 from but i figured the unquiet ghost brought it to me so that's what i titled it was unquiet ghost. 110 00:07:38,640 --> 00:09:46,000 Music. 111 00:09:46,464 --> 00:09:51,184 Cool. Very cool. So do you think some of this has to do with your military experience? 112 00:09:52,264 --> 00:09:58,984 This particular record? Probably not. No. A lot of these were just songs that 113 00:09:58,984 --> 00:10:00,984 just kind of came to me as I was playing around. 114 00:10:01,224 --> 00:10:04,944 And it's like, ooh, what was that? I'd build off of it and things like that. 115 00:10:04,964 --> 00:10:09,244 Nothing on the album is specifically related to my military experience, 116 00:10:09,244 --> 00:10:14,464 because that was a long time ago so kind 117 00:10:14,464 --> 00:10:17,224 of diving back into a recap of everything that you've 118 00:10:17,224 --> 00:10:20,284 said so far you said back when you were 17 your dad 119 00:10:20,284 --> 00:10:24,924 basically kind of showed you that in his own way that he felt that you weren't 120 00:10:24,924 --> 00:10:28,844 able to become a professional musician as this was going to become your profession 121 00:10:28,844 --> 00:10:34,144 as listeners are out there what do you think your dad was right about that made 122 00:10:34,144 --> 00:10:36,504 sure that that was the actual path 123 00:10:36,504 --> 00:10:39,424 for you to take was not to become a professional musician at that time? 124 00:10:39,764 --> 00:10:42,964 Well, it's not that he didn't want me to be a professional musician. 125 00:10:43,204 --> 00:10:47,384 He knew I wasn't good enough at that point. And the way he drilled that into 126 00:10:47,384 --> 00:10:51,064 my head was I came home from school one day and he said to me, 127 00:10:51,124 --> 00:10:53,664 he said, so what's your plan? You're not doing great in school. 128 00:10:53,844 --> 00:10:56,744 You're probably not going to go on to college. So what is your plan? 129 00:10:56,884 --> 00:11:00,024 And I said, well, I'm going to go to Nashville. My dad was big in the country 130 00:11:00,024 --> 00:11:02,584 music world. And he said, do you think you're good enough? 131 00:11:02,804 --> 00:11:05,524 And I said, yeah. My dad was the guy on the side of the stage, 132 00:11:05,644 --> 00:11:06,764 the hired gun and guitar guitar player. 133 00:11:06,964 --> 00:11:10,084 He played with some of the biggest names in country music in the 70s. 134 00:11:10,104 --> 00:11:11,704 And that's who I wanted to be. 135 00:11:11,844 --> 00:11:14,964 And he said, okay, cool. And he got up and walked out of the kitchen. 136 00:11:15,084 --> 00:11:18,984 And the next day I came home from school and there was an envelope on the table. 137 00:11:19,064 --> 00:11:23,164 I opened it up and there was $500 cash, Greyhound bus ticket, 138 00:11:23,264 --> 00:11:25,264 and a list of names and phone numbers. 139 00:11:25,584 --> 00:11:28,164 And he said, you're going to Nashville this weekend. And he said, 140 00:11:28,284 --> 00:11:32,064 all I want you to do is just spend the weekend walking up and down 16th Avenue, 141 00:11:32,224 --> 00:11:35,804 which at the time was the street all the major recording studios were on. 142 00:11:35,804 --> 00:11:38,964 And so I did that, you know, that was back in the days when you could send your 143 00:11:38,964 --> 00:11:42,804 17 year old boy off to a different state and not really have to worry about it too much. 144 00:11:42,924 --> 00:11:46,944 It didn't take me long to realize that these guys playing for change on the 145 00:11:46,944 --> 00:11:51,304 street corners weren't good enough to get jobs and they were a lot better than me. 146 00:11:51,424 --> 00:11:54,944 So it was kind of my dad's way of making me figure it out myself. 147 00:11:55,224 --> 00:11:58,964 So that's when I came home and said, well, I got to come up with a plan B. 148 00:11:59,624 --> 00:12:04,544 And and my i fully intended on pursuing music but you know life gets in the 149 00:12:04,544 --> 00:12:10,144 way a lot of times and things like that right okay no that that's a really interesting story it's like, 150 00:12:10,699 --> 00:12:13,619 Like you said, you know, if he would have just said, no, you're not good enough, 151 00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:16,999 you probably would have not listened to one word he said and, 152 00:12:16,999 --> 00:12:18,319 you know, fought against it. 153 00:12:18,499 --> 00:12:23,919 But your own experience, you went, okay, well, am I going to be dedicated enough 154 00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:25,259 to become better than these people? 155 00:12:25,379 --> 00:12:27,759 Yes or no. And obviously you made that decision. 156 00:12:28,339 --> 00:12:32,499 Yeah. Gotcha. Okay. Well, and he didn't, he didn't want to see me go down to 157 00:12:32,499 --> 00:12:35,059 Nashville and then, you know, be living on the street starving. 158 00:12:35,599 --> 00:12:40,239 Right. Exactly. When no parent wants to see that happen. They want to see their kids successful. 159 00:12:41,299 --> 00:12:44,179 Now, obviously, you were in the military. 160 00:12:44,419 --> 00:12:48,759 Did you do anything musical in the military, or was it something in a different 161 00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:52,639 branch of the military that you were a part of? Well, no, I was in the Coast Guard. Okay. 162 00:12:53,019 --> 00:12:56,099 And my first duty station was Kodiak Island, Alaska. 163 00:12:56,899 --> 00:13:01,499 And while I was there, I met a fellow banjo player. So we formed a little group 164 00:13:01,499 --> 00:13:03,539 and we did a cassette tape. 165 00:13:03,899 --> 00:13:07,539 We didn't know anything about vinyl pressing or anything at that time. 166 00:13:07,619 --> 00:13:08,939 So we went into the studio and 167 00:13:08,939 --> 00:13:12,979 recorded, I think, seven or eight songs and put them on a cassette tape. 168 00:13:13,499 --> 00:13:16,299 And it was just bluegrass covers, that kind of a thing. 169 00:13:16,339 --> 00:13:19,539 It was just guitar and banjo. and during that experience 170 00:13:19,539 --> 00:13:22,339 in the studio it was like okay i want to do more of this 171 00:13:22,339 --> 00:13:25,259 this was fun yeah you know we played played 172 00:13:25,259 --> 00:13:28,239 some shows on the base and there wasn't a whole lot to 173 00:13:28,239 --> 00:13:33,539 do in the city of kodiak it's a city of 5 000 people and probably 4 000 of them 174 00:13:33,539 --> 00:13:37,539 are commercial fishermen and so you know the the bars get kind of rowdy when 175 00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:43,299 the guys are in right yeah so there wasn't a whole lot of opportunities to play 176 00:13:43,299 --> 00:13:47,059 but we played some shows on the base at the officers club the enlisted men's 177 00:13:47,059 --> 00:13:48,119 club and things like that. 178 00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,859 And then from there, I got transferred to Two Rivers, Wisconsin, 179 00:13:52,419 --> 00:13:55,979 where I had joined a country band. I grew up country. 180 00:13:57,168 --> 00:14:01,388 I didn't even realize anything but country existed until I was 12 when my cousin 181 00:14:01,388 --> 00:14:05,108 played Here Comes the Sun for me by the Beatles and blew my mind. Yeah. 182 00:14:05,648 --> 00:14:11,568 But came back from Alaska, formed a country cover band, and did that for a little while. 183 00:14:11,728 --> 00:14:16,168 And then met a woman, got married, had a family, and wife kind of got in the way. 184 00:14:16,248 --> 00:14:21,328 So that was my first hiatus from music, which lasted almost 20 years. 185 00:14:21,548 --> 00:14:27,168 Yeah. And then around, if I'm figuring this out correctly, going backwards from 186 00:14:27,168 --> 00:14:28,008 what you talked about before, 187 00:14:28,788 --> 00:14:36,508 about mid-2000s, between 2000 and 2010 is when you started your back to music 188 00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:38,328 with a band. Was that around that time? 189 00:14:39,348 --> 00:14:44,908 Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. What would that have been? Yeah, right around mids. Yeah. Yeah. 190 00:14:45,488 --> 00:14:49,688 And I started, you know, I started, I wrote my, my album, which is titled, 191 00:14:49,928 --> 00:14:53,448 I never want to meet another you. That's the one I wrote after I got divorced. Right. 192 00:14:53,948 --> 00:14:58,008 Gotcha. And the guy that owned the studio that I recorded that in, 193 00:14:58,068 --> 00:15:02,048 we ended up becoming really good friends and he invited me to join his band 194 00:15:02,048 --> 00:15:03,948 kind of as a hired gun guitar player. 195 00:15:04,348 --> 00:15:07,768 And I did that. It was a band out of Sheboygan called Icarus Drifting, 196 00:15:07,868 --> 00:15:13,128 which is the band is still around. They're called the Bellwether now. Oh, okay. 197 00:15:13,508 --> 00:15:18,128 Sure. Yeah. Yeah, Eric Cox and Thea, Marissa, and Corey. 198 00:15:18,468 --> 00:15:24,388 But yeah, so after Icarus kind of fell apart, Eric reformed Icarus into the bellwether. 199 00:15:24,528 --> 00:15:27,608 But I played with Eric and Icarus Drifting for about six years. 200 00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:33,648 And that's during that time I released my second album. And then we released an album as Icarus. 201 00:15:34,368 --> 00:15:39,308 Okay. So let's talk a little bit about this newest album that you recently released. 202 00:15:39,308 --> 00:15:43,668 Based um kind of give the listeners kind of like a the summary of from beginning 203 00:15:43,668 --> 00:15:48,408 to end how it started where you recorded it things you kind of learned from 204 00:15:48,408 --> 00:15:54,468 that process and the release story behind it yeah so i wrote these songs that 205 00:15:54,468 --> 00:15:57,628 you know over the course of about 16 or 18 months. 206 00:15:58,968 --> 00:16:03,548 And a friend of mine i live in fond du lac and a friend of mine owns a studio 207 00:16:03,548 --> 00:16:08,068 it's not a pro that's not his business but he you know he has a studio on the 208 00:16:08,068 --> 00:16:12,848 side he's a music teacher and things like that and he offered to record it for 209 00:16:12,848 --> 00:16:16,108 me so I took him up on it and just kind of, 210 00:16:16,628 --> 00:16:20,828 laid out the songs that I did and then you know picked the sequence that I wanted 211 00:16:20,828 --> 00:16:25,788 to put him in and one of the reviews that I got on the record said it's it's 212 00:16:25,788 --> 00:16:30,588 it's a journey going through the desert and seeing almost every single different 213 00:16:30,588 --> 00:16:34,788 terrain a desert would have to offer which is It's pretty interesting. 214 00:16:35,208 --> 00:16:38,228 The songs were not written to be grouped together. 215 00:16:38,688 --> 00:16:41,808 They weren't written specifically for this album. 216 00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:45,728 I would just write a song and log it. And then pretty soon I realized these 217 00:16:45,728 --> 00:16:49,348 songs all kind of go together with a little bit of variation. 218 00:16:49,488 --> 00:16:51,628 So they don't all sound the same. Right. 219 00:16:52,857 --> 00:16:57,877 And the title came from something a woman said to me after a live show one time. 220 00:16:57,937 --> 00:17:02,177 She said, your music just makes me feel so carefree, like I want to drive through 221 00:17:02,177 --> 00:17:03,757 the desert to burn a million dollars. 222 00:17:03,917 --> 00:17:07,017 And I went, oh, I got to write that down. Yeah, definitely, definitely. 223 00:17:07,497 --> 00:17:10,597 Very catchy, very thought-provoking title. 224 00:17:11,277 --> 00:17:15,577 Now, the tunes that you had mentioned earlier, Russian and Ghost, 225 00:17:15,697 --> 00:17:16,657 are those part of that album? 226 00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:20,717 Yes, they're both on this album.

I'm kind of reluctant to always say he's 360 00:29:00,416 --> 00:29:03,156 from Ireland because that immediately conjures up the image of, 361 00:29:03,236 --> 00:29:06,816 oh, he does Irish music, but he does not.

The Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin is being censored through means other than blocking or banning, as it is available to access online and on social media for free. Censorship often comes in the form of disinformation and misinformation about a subject, coupled with a series of fallacious and even slanderous statements. Despite the fact that Putin is on the WEF list of Young Global Leaders, and despite Russia, like every country, engaging in their own propaganda war, the President nonetheless has a right to tell his side of the story. What is not right is the gas lighting, liable, slander, and fallacies engaged in by Hillary Clinton and John Kirby who separately said neither Carlson or Putin should be trusted simply because. Such censorship, and possibly fear of another perspective, is so intense that Carlson was put on what amounts to a ‘hit list' in Ukraine, while the EU is supposedly discussing sanctioning him, and the United States is discussing dragging him through court for Espionage. So much for freedom of the press, especially considering Dan Rather interviewed Saddam Hussein, John Miller interviewed Osama bin Laden, and both William Randolph Hearst and Dorothy Thompson interviewed Adolf Hitler. How can Americans talk about freedoms and ending war, especially in Ukraine, when we act like this about free press; when Ukraine has shut down political opposition, the press, and religious organizations, on top of decreeing there would be no talks or peace with Russia, and while the US continues to supply weapons and endless funds; how can Putin be totally insane when what he says seems so reasonable and specific, providing a 2 hour history lesson, taking years to finally act, pointing out all the times Russia was lied to about NATO, and while the western response is, ‘he's Putin', ‘he's lying', ‘he had no reasoning', especially while providing no context? How can we trust Ukraine's leadership when they have repeatedly lied about the Ghost of Kiev, Snake Island, and the missile that hit Poland? How can anyone in the US accuse Putin of stealing land or obsses over why Ukraine needs to protect its borders, when we simultaneously support Israel and neglect our own border? Something overall just doesn't add up, and one doesn't have to be a Putin-apologist to see the inconsistencies. -FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioWEBSITE, BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE YEARLY: http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: rdgable@yahoo.comCashApp: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.co

Why would Voldomyr Zelensky ask the half-artist-half-magician Marina Abromovic to be an ambassador for Ukraine? Well, considering the ‘black magic' symbol on a Ukrainian barracks, the focus on the “Z” used by the Russian military, the swastikas on tanks and jewelry of Ukrainian soldiers, the blood and soil rituals of paramilitary soldiers, and the wolf's hook of the Azov Battalion, etc., it would seem a logical choice to select a globally renowned legitimate satanist and witch to be ambassador. But in order to even approach such things it is first important to understand the Ukrainian relationship with the current President, particularly when he was VP, and the money laundering operation that was being run by a crypto-con man. But even for that to be approached one must grasp that the stories of Snake Island, the Russian missile in Poland, and the Ghost of Kiev were totally fake. The issue is far more complex than whether you support one side or the other, or if you can even say it is a war. If it is a war, it is an occult war and the bombs are symbols working magic on our unconscious and subconscious minds.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement

This is TRT World's Daily News Brief for Monday, June 12th. *) Shelling, fighting resume in Sudan as latest ceasefire ends Heavy artillery fire was heard in Sudan's capital Khartoum and its twin city Omdurman to the north, and fighting also erupted on Al Hawa Street, witnesses said. The latest in a series of ceasefire agreements enabled civilians trapped in Khartoum to venture outside and stock up on food and other essential supplies. But only 10 minutes after it ended on Sunday morning, the capital was rocked again by shelling and clashes, witnesses said. *) Russia, Ukraine swap nearly 200 in prisoner exchange Russia and Ukraine have swapped a total of nearly 200 prisoners, both sides announced. Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine's President's Office, said Ukraine is getting back 95 people, including soldiers from the Armed Forces, National Guard and border guards. Yermak said that these soldiers served in Mariupol, Chernobyl, Snake Island, near Bakhmut and Azovstal factory. Meanwhile, the Russian Defence Ministry said that 94 Russian soldiers were released after negotiations with Ukraine. *) EU offers Tunisia $1B to boost economy, curb illegal migration The European Union has offered major financial support to crisis-hit Tunisia, to boost its economy and reduce the flow of irregular migrants across the Mediterranean Sea. The bloc offers Tunisia a $968 million package plus $161 million in immediate support. European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen made the announcement on a joint visit with the Italian and Dutch prime ministers on Sunday. *) Turkish Cypriot president hails President Erdogan's visit to TRNC Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has planned to make the first overseas visit of his new term to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). This decision was welcomed by TRNC President Ersin Tatar, who said it “demonstrates the importance and value that Türkiye attaches to the TRNC.” Highlighting the importance of Erdogan's visit on Monday, Tatar said the trip would send a message to the world that the TRNC "is a state." And finally… *) Incredible feeling': Djokovic wins record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic has made history with a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title in a third French Open triumph. The 36-year-old Serb defeated Casper Ruud of Norway and snapped the tie of 22 Slams he shared with career-long rival Rafael Nadal. Victory for the third time in Paris, after 2016 and 2021, adds to his 10 Australian Open titles, seven at Wimbledon and three at the US Open. Djokovic is the first man to win all four majors at least three times. And that's your daily news brief from TRT World. For more, head to trtworld.com
The land war in Ukraine has occupied most attention among media and analysts since the full-scale war began in February 2022. But what happens in the Black Sea is perhaps where we should focus more. The battle for Snake Island, and the sinking of the Moskva grabbed the headlines for a while, but the Black Sea is an overlooked factor in understanding Russia's motivations for invading, and for how victory will be defined by Ukraine, including taking back control of Crimea and Black seas ports. ~ | ~ | ~ | ~ | ~ Jerry Hendrix is a retired United States Navy captain.

Nearly a year into Russia's Febuary 2022 invasion of Ukraine, journalist and author Luke Harding reflects on the people he met in the war zone while researching for his new book INVASION: THE INSIDE STORY OF RUSSIA'S BLOODY WAR AND UKRAINE'S FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL. Some of these brave sources are survivors of the Bucha massacre, who shared with him the trauma of losing loved ones and direct experiences of the violent atrocities. Others include a once optimistic contact from Mariupol who turned desperate, phoning Harding (who was 1,000 kilometers away) begging him to save his wife and children. The book is spellbinding on its own merits, yet, this interview with Harding uniquely reveals the personal toll that reporting from a war zone takes on a journalist with the associated survivor's guilt. Among the pain, though, is laughter, including the humor and pride associated with the Ukrainians on Snake Island. On the day of the invasion, they were being fired upon by the Moskva, Russia's giant guided-missile cruiser that patroled the Black Sea with a crew of more than 500 men. The Russians warned the Ukrainians on the island to surrender or they would be bombed. In response, the Ukrianian border guard believing they were facing certain death or capture said, “Russian War Ship, go fuck yourself.” Not only did these men survive, but later, in April, the Moskva caught fire and sunk. The Ukrainians claimed credit for its demise. Given his extensive background reporting from Russia as the former Moscow bureau chief, there are few if any reporters who have the first-hand understanding of Putin's goals to retake Ukraine and beyond, and his lack of concern for the death toll he will run up trying, and failing to reach that goal.

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) is scheduled to meet on Wednesday and Thursday to discuss, amongst other topics, whether to include the Covid vaccines and other vaccinations into their child and adolescent immunization schedule. According to WBOY, the CDC is considering adding the vaccine to their schedule in order for it to be covered under the federally-funded Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program and other programs. In order for vaccines to be covered under health plans, shots must be approved by the CDC director, and appear on the CDC’s immunization schedule, according to a document from the CDC. According to the CDC, VFC is a federally funded program that provides vaccines to children at no cost to families. The CDC’s immunization schedule for kids is seen as a recommendation for parents and physicians on when certain vaccines should be administered. The schedule also serves as a building block for school districts nationwide, many of whom chose to follow these guidelines as requirements for children to enter public schools. The inclusion of the Covid-19 vaccine on this schedule could give the green signal for school districts to enforce mandates on their students, with some schools across the country pausing their mandates over low vaccination numbers in minors. Many European nations have said that Covid vaccines are not necessary for children. https://thepostmillennial.com/abc-news-investigative-producer-disappears-after-fbi-raid?utm_campaign=64487 ABC News investigative producer disappears after FBI raid, was working on book about Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal An award-winning ABC News national security investigative producer has seemingly gone missing following an FBI raid on his home in April for unclear reasons. James Gordon Meek was in the process of writing a book on the Biden administration's controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan when his neighbors spotted armored vehicles outside of his home, and he hasn't been heard from since. Meek, 52, was best known for his breaking news stories on high levels of corruption within the US military. His bombshell report of the Army’s coverup of the fratricidal death of Pfc. Dave Sharrett II in Iraq landed Meek a meeting with then-President Obama. He seemed to be at the height of his career, with nine years at ABC, a newly-released documentary on Hulu, and a book on the way. That's why so many are baffled at his mysterious and uncharacteristically abrupt disappearance. It was on April 27 of this year when police cruisers and unmarked utility vehicles were spotted blocking the street outside of Meek's Arlington, Virginia apartment building, according to a Rolling Stone report. That was around the time of his last online activity, with one last "like" being sent from his Twitter account on May 2. Since then, he's been silent. An FBI representative confirmed that agents were present that morning "at the 2300 block of Columbia Pike, Arlington, Virginia, conducting court-authorized law-enforcement activity." "The FBI cannot comment further due to an ongoing investigation," they said. A federal magistrate judge signed off on the search warrant the day before the raid. In accordance with a new policy enacted last year, federal prosecutors are not allowed to seize journalists' documents without approval from the Deputy Attorney General, meaning that Biden-appointed Lisa Monaco had to have given her blessing if that's what the raid was for. Despite the bureau's involvement, Meek has not been charged with any crime. Anonymous sources claimed to Rolling Stone that federal agents found classified information on Meek's laptop, but the contents of said information are unknown at this time. His lawyer, Eugene Gorokhov, responded to the claims. "Mr. Meek is unaware of what allegations anonymous sources are making about his possession of classified documents. If such documents exist, as claimed, this would be within the scope of his long career as an investigative journalist covering government wrongdoing. The allegations in your inquiry are troubling for a different reason: they appear to come from a source inside the government. It is highly inappropriate, and illegal, for individuals in the government to leak information about an ongoing investigation. We hope that the DOJ [Department of Justice] promptly investigates the source of this leak." Still, no comment on where exactly his client is. https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2022/10/19/abrams-you-can-fight-inflation-by-aborting-more-babies-you-know-n504398 Stacey Abrams suggests having an abortion as solution to inflation: 'Economic realities of having a child' Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams was criticized on Wednesday after suggesting that having an abortion could be a solution to high inflation and claiming that "having children" is why people are worried about the price of gas and groceries. https://twitter.com/i/status/1582726622859624449 - Play Video 0:00-1:32 Abrams made her remarks a day after President Biden pledged that if Democrats keep control of Congress, he will codify in January the federal right to abortion once granted by the recently overturned Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. At no point during the speech did the president, who was a freshman senator nearly 50 years ago when Roe v. Wade was decided in January 1973, mention inflation or the economy. The same day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) rejected a New York Times poll that found voters believe the economy and inflation are the top two issues facing the nation, calling it an “outlier.” Abrams said at the end of September that there was "no such thing" as a fetal heartbeat at 6-weeks. https://thepoliticalinsider.com/fake-news-zelenskys-famous-quote-of-need-ammunition-not-a-ride-never-happened/ Fake News: Zelensky’s Famous Quote of ‘Need Ammunition, Not a Ride’ Never Happened A senior official claims that a famous quote by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky appears to be fake news, war propaganda. The quote about needing ammunition helped catapult his credentials as a defiant wartime leader. The revelation came amidst a sprawling report by the New Yorker on the Biden administration’s support for Ukraine, which is far more extensive than previously known and includes operational planning at the highest levels. But Zelensky’s famous line – “I need ammunition, not a ride” – and the fact that it may have been completely fabricated and promoted by the media ad nauseam casts a further pall on a war narrative that has at times seemed crafted by the heavy hand of a former actor. From the New Yorker: Two days into the invasion, the Associated Press reported that Zelensky had rejected a U.S. offer to evacuate him from Kyiv, saying, “I need ammunition, not a ride.” A senior U.S. official said, “To the best of my knowledge, that never happened.” The official added, “But hats off to Zelensky and the people around him. It was a great line.” If you’re searching for evidence that the American media are perfectly fine with helping to perpetuate falsehoods in the war effort in Ukraine, you need look no further than the Washington Post and fact-checker Glenn Kessler. Kessler analyzed the claim that Zelensky had uttered the quote: “I need ammunition, not a ride.” Though he admitted the claim was not easily verifiable, he concluded using Zelensky’s press secretary that “the quote, even if not accurate, reflects the moment.” At least he tried. The rest of the media simply ran with it. This isn’t the first time stories coming out of Ukraine had proven to be completely orchestrated in an effort to drum up emotional support from the United States. Around the same time as the Zelensky ‘ammunition’ quote, a story was developing about a defiant group of 13 Ukrainian border guards defending Snake Island in the Black Sea who reportedly told a Russian warship to “go f*** yourself” after being ordered to surrender. The 13 Ukrainian border guards were initially widely reported as killed as the Russian warship opened fire with barreled guns and aircraft bombing Snake Island. Zelenskyy said during a press briefing that the guards died “heroes” and even said the 13 would be posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine. It was later reported they were still alive and in Russian captivity. Then, of course, there is the infamous ‘Ghost of Kyiv‘ propaganda promoted by some prominent figures here in the United States. Some, like Rep. Adam Kinzinger, were so willing to believe the story they promoted fake images of a meme-character known as Samuel Hyde. It’s breathtaking the number of stories like the Zelensky ammunition fairytale that have been thrust upon the American people as a means to justify the absurd level of financial and military support being offered to Ukraine at our expense. Fox News host Tucker Carlson has seemingly had enough, eviscerating Zelensky for making further outrageous demands for financial aid while the United States economy, and the American people, are suffering. https://twitter.com/i/status/1580717198703611904 - Play Video “Zelenskyy is now shaking down our cowardly Congress for more cash at the very moment our own economy and our own borders are collapsing,” Carlson added.

A Russian State TV host threatened nuclear war and asked, “Why do we need the world if Russia won't be in it?” An embattled Ukraine moved to solidify its bond with the West on Monday by applying to join the European Union, while the first round of Ukraine-Russia talks aimed at ending the fighting concluded with no deal but an agreement to keep talking. The U.S. Treasury Department announced further sanctions against Russia's central bank, which would immobilize any of its assets in the U.S. or held by Americans. The mass exodus of refugees from Ukraine to the eastern edge of the European Union showed no signs of stopping Monday, with the U.N. estimating that more than 500,000 people have already escaped Russia's burgeoning war against Ukraine. The garrison of troops on Snake Island, once feared dead after defying commands coming from a Russian warship, are still alive, but captured, Ukraine's navy said. Former Attorney General William Barr writes in a new book that former President Donald Trump has “shown he has neither the temperament nor persuasive powers to provide the kind of positive leadership that is needed,” and that it is time for Republicans to focus on rising new leaders in the party.Hosts: Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Russian tanks entered the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, on Friday morning as the city was rocked by explosions and gunfire. An entire garrison of 13 Ukrainian border guards was killed in the first day of fighting on the nation's Snake Island after the soldiers refused to surrender to invading Russian forces. Over 1,000 Russians were arrested for protesting Putin's Ukraine invasion. President Joe Biden will nominate federal appeals court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
