What used to be called 100-year floods are now annual occurrences. Summer 2023 was the wettest ever in Vermont, with 2 feet of rain falling on the state. One storm submerged the capital of Montpelier. This July saw towns such as Plainfield ripped apart by raging rivers. In Connecticut this month, a storm dropped more than a foot of rain, leading to deadly and destructive flooding.Author Porter Fox says the source of these deluges — as well as heat waves, fires, and floods — is the ocean, where about 90% of global warming is occurring. This is the inexorable consequence of human-caused climate change. The top layer of the ocean has warmed about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit, which is “large enough to transform marine biodiversity, change ocean chemistry, raise sea levels, and fuel extreme weather,” reports the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.Fox explains the connection between oceans, climate change and extreme weather in his new book, “Category Five: Superstorms and the Warming Oceans That Feed Them.”Fox has a personal connection to the ocean. He grew up on Mount Desert Island in Maine, home to Acadia National Park. His father was a renowned boat builder, and Fox learned the craft of ocean sailing by trial and lots of error. He later attended Middlebury College and wrote about skiing adventures all around the world as an editor of Powder Magazine but has now returned to his first love, the sea. Fox's other books include “The Last Winter” and “Northland.”In “Category Five,” Fox captures the awesome power of the ocean by profiling a legendary storm sailor, a mapmaker and a maker of sailing drones, among others.“The ocean is the mother of all weather. It's like a battery that is getting charged up by this excess heat that we have,” Fox said. This is creating squalls and hurricanes with “metrics that we've never seen before.” These monster storms are “traveling farther while moving slower, thus dumping more water and the ferocity of their winds has more time to wreak havoc as they go,” Fox said.“A full throated ocean gale is absolutely terrifying,” he said. These storms have an “explosive sound and shrieking and raging wind and waves that are so powerful they can toss around a 30,000 pound boat like it's a little toy.”Even landlocked places such as Vermont are experiencing the power of the ocean. “Most of the rain that you see in Vermont comes off of the ocean and evaporation. So we have a hotter climate over the ocean. We have more evaporation. We have more energy being infused into the atmosphere,” Fox said. “So every front, every thunderstorm, every squall, every rainstorm is directly connected to the ocean.”The warming ocean has transformed how and when storms occur. “Hurricane season used to be roughly from June to November,” Fox said. Hurricanes have recently occurred in January and May. "Now there is no off season,” he said.What would it take to fix what is broken? “It's kind of an obvious answer: just a little bit of everything,” Fox said. That includes “changing how we create and consume energy around the world, closing down coal-fired power plants, changing from gas cars to electric cars or hydrogen batteries.”“Without the ocean, we'd be gone by now," Fox said. "That 90% of the heat that it is absorbed (by oceans) would be right up in the atmosphere. Temperatures would be unbearable. Storms would be so much more powerful. And yet the ocean is this buffer.”“There's a lot of checks and balances, and it's perhaps the reason that this little blue ball of a planet has maintained life for so long,” he said.“If we can just be aware of that and kind of nudge some of those balances," Fox said, "you could bring the planet back to the way it was pre-1800s.”

When you go to a museum or visit a science center, it’s not uncommon to see graphs, charts and other visual data displays included in the exhibit. But blind and low-vision visitors don’t get that same experience. Researchers with the Accessible Oceans pilot project are exploring how to turn some of that data into sound so it’s more accessible to all visitors. The project’s team of interdisciplinary researchers has been gathering feedback from visually impaired students and teachers, as well as ocean science experts, on how they can accurately represent ocean data in a series of sound presentations. Jon Bellona is a sound artist and senior instructor of audio production at the University of Oregon, and Amy Bower is a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. They join us to talk about the project and how they hope to make data more accessible.

These animals have been marking time largely unaware of all the ups and downs and intrigues of humanity.

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

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

In this episode we connect with Dr. Christopher Reddy from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, known locally as ‘WHOI.

We receive this week Hauke Kite-Powell, research specialist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and senior analyst at Marsoft Inc,  an independent maritime consultancy providing expert, objective and timely support for investment, chartering and financing decisions.Industrial projects including solar and wind power issued more than $126 million in carbon credits in 2019. But so far, shipping has not taken advantage of the carbon credits funding opportunities.Marsoft's GreenScreen™ is a retrofit evaluation platform, developed in collaboration with the MIT, providing an extremely accurate assessment of the benefits of the retrofit.GreenScreen™ was recently accepted by the Gold Standard – the preeminent global carbon registry – as the basis for issuing carbon credits for investments that reduce CO2 emissions from ships.Will carbon credits bridge the gap and bring the missing incentive necessary to boost the adoption of wind assist technologies?

Remember to like subscribe, rate review, comment below. Anything that you have to say good, bad, indifferent, we want to have the conversations. That's the whole important point. Let's have these conversations that created a new tomorrow today and move our country forward so we can activate our vision for a better world. Today, I have with me, Steve Prentice. Steve is, you know, he works in the space where people and technology collide. He's got degrees in organizational psychology and journalism. And he focuses on the way humans work with our in spite of technological advances to help companies become more pragmatic in their usage. Steve, why don't you tell us a little bit about your your history and what got you and interested in what you're doing and, and how you became you.Steve Prentice 1:22  I just love technology. And I love what it can do. My father was an engineer. And even though I'm not, I still have that desire to see how things work, take them apart and bring them back together again. So when I was trying to find work as a student in university, I got a temp job. And this was in the days when dos based computers with a thing before windows before the internet. And what I noticed was that people were having trouble with things such as the F keys on the keyboard, it sounds very arbitrary right now. But what those F keys mean. And if you go back, if you're as old as I am, you can remember when dealing with things like WordPerfect, these these programs, before Microsoft became the ruler of everything. In order to print a document, you have to memorize this combination of things, it's actually Shift F seven and one in case anybody's checking. But the fact is, this is totally not a human thing. This is an engineering thing. And people got stuck on this, and people had to get training courses on how to use technology. And I thought, well, you know, this is not really what it should be about, there should be some sort of intuitive way that we can get together with our technology. And to this day, that hasn't fully happened. And it's not blaming engineers at all, but there's just always a disconnect between those who create the technologies and those who have to use them. So I've created kind of a style and an ability to speak, to write, to teach and also to consult organizations, including for some very large, you know, huge, well known high tech firms on how to explain their technologies, you know, how to take concepts like artificial intelligence or facial recognition away from being simply a technological cool thing. A factoring in the fear people may have about these technologies, identity, privacy, or even job loss, and saying, How can we make these things mixed together? And that's, that's really what I've been doing now for almost 30 years. And it just keeps on happening. And I just love it.Ari Gronich 3:17  Well, yeah, I happen to be old enough to remember WordPerfect wordstar. You know, writing code in basic, and then DOS and Harvard graphics. What was thatSteve Prentice 3:33  Harvard graphics? That PowerPoint?Ari Gronich 3:36  Yes. You know, trying to create a game like Pong right? Back in, in the days of, of the old green and orange monitors, things. That's actually while I was going to school, one of the things that I did is I used to repair old 286 sX computers, the ones that are massively huge and heavy. And for some reason, I had a ability to figure out having not known much at the time, which jumper was out of place and which one needed to be put back into place. But these days, I'll tell you the truth, my my technological prowess has been depleted into almost nothingness. And technology is moving at such a an exponential rate, that it makes it difficult for my old foggy brain to to learn a new trick. So, you know, why don't you kind of give us a little bit about this current side of technology, and maybe some ways either that people can understand it, and actually do it. Because for me, like I understand the concepts of what they say too. Do but the technology and the integrations and the minutiae are so unique, that I find that I think that a lot of people are having trouble reaching their goals simply because of the technology that they don't know how to use rather than not having products or services that are valuable and worthy of people finding out about them.Steve Prentice 5:23  Absolutely. I mean, here's, here's number one, we've we've been going through extremely tough year, we're not out of the woods yet with regards to everything going on. And one of the major offshoots, aside from the tragedy of this year is job losses, and just people who have had real trouble just keeping afloat because of the changes in commerce. Now, one thing that I do say, and I was saying this, even before the COVID thing happened, was, there's never been a better time to be at work right now. But there's also never been a better time to be out of work. And that sounds like a cynical statement, but it's not intended to be. What I'm saying here is that there's never been a better time to find new work. And the mindset, you were talking about the old foggy brain a moment ago, and the mindset from, let's say, a couple of decades ago, with regards to what a job was, and what a career was, was largely focused on maybe staying with the same job for your entire career, staying employable within a company, we're now moving into an era where people of all ages are much more aware of their career mobility, we have the technologies, you know, the job sites, the websites, and the simple networking capacity for people to do so much more with themselves in terms of what they would like to do rather than what they think they should do. So it doesn't mean that it's easy, as you know, just a simple little thing. But it does mean that it's eminently possible for people to maintain their careers, move on to other jobs, take the non transferable skills that they have learned, and market themselves. We've seen job sites getting more intelligent over the years, matching people up with jobs and recruiters and so forth. But we've also got things like LinkedIn, which are largely underused, because people don't quite understand how to use LinkedIn. Everyone's sort of opened up a profile, they're stuck their resume there, and nothing really happened. But this is an example of a tool that can be used extremely proactively in the the art and science and magic of career self fulfillment. What I mean, for example, is you could go on and what I recommend to people to do always two key rules about LinkedIn. And there's no other platform that is similar to them to this for this opportunity for us. Number one is to make sure you have a great profile that describes you, what you do, what you can do what you have done, perhaps with a couple of endorsements from past managers, employers or customers, and to have a picture of yourself, I mean, I recommend some people may not want to do that for personal security reasons. But aside from that, you know, if you can put your picture up, you're immediately now connecting with people on the emotional and instinctive level, which is what my you know, my sort of primary focus of work is, I doesn't matter what you look like, it's just that I want to have a face that I can relate to. And this is where trust starts, when I can, I can see who I'm dealing with. So we're having a, a place on LinkedIn, that is you that is step number one. And step number two, is as you build your group of people, your contacts, and they're not accepting just anybody who asks to join, but the pedigree of your contacts based on people that you would recommend and trust, and you know them and respect them professionally. Once a day, once a day, you go on to LinkedIn, and you just see what LinkedIn tells you about your contacts who's celebrating a work anniversary today, who has just got a new job who has posted an Instagram in an article and just say, hey, congratulations, well done. Thumbs up. Because what you're doing when you do that, is you are warming your the memory of you in their minds and hearts and you are building what is the most significant and important asset to your career, which is your network, it doesn't mean that individual is going to hire you, per se, or you don't sort of say, hey, happy birthday, oh, by the way, please hire me or please buy my product, you just build a network. And this network is responsible for finding new opportunities for giving you references or leads. And also you can do the same for them. So all I'm saying is that back in the day before the LinkedIn existed, I would have been talking about this with regards to business card Rolodex is a collection of business cards that just having 10,000 business cards does not make you well connected, you're much better connected with a little black book of 100 names than a box of 1000 business cards. So in this era, the active and the proactive dynamic and artificially intelligent Lee enhanced concepts behind LinkedIn and I don't work for them by the way, I just simply saying this is what they can do for you is to further your connections in the world and open up those opportunities. So it doesn't matter how old you are. There's never been a better time to be looking for work. And I described this about myself. All the time, for 30 years I have been looking for work. problem is I keep finding it. And I find it because I just always keep in touch with the people who can refer me other business I have never advertised in my life, it can be done. And so what I'm saying is when you tie in to tech technology and people and old mindsets and new mindsets together, what you're seeing is, there's a remarkably great opportunity to take just a little bit, a little slice of what LinkedIn can offer and turn that into a key that opens the door for your future that you're much more in control of. And I think that's a very satisfying place to be. So that's one example. I'll pause for a second, but I have a second one coming up too. Well,Ari Gronich 10:41  I appreciate that. That's, it's good advice for people to remember that these platforms are really about relationship building versus, you know, cold selling.Steve Prentice 10:54  Absolutely. cold call selling was was a thing. Of course, we know that and some people still do it. I used to teach courses in sales to a big bank. And I was shocked. This is only about 20 years ago. And I was shocked that they were still using 1950s concepts called smile and dial you know you're performing, you just have a list of numbers you call them. And you expect a 98% rejection rate You're doing well, if you get two calls out of 100 that don't hang up on you. Now, is that really a way to do business? Wouldn't you rather have someone who says, Hey, I'm looking for a good accountant? Can you recommend one? And when a trusted friend of mine says yes, I know this person. Now I've got the word of mouth and the trust factor at a much higher level. And there are technologies that allow retailers to do that, for example, if you are a small business owner, a store owner, or if you own a larger store with lots of sales associates, what can you do to pull in the data that your customers may have entered into their profile on your website, talking about the things that they like what they love, so that when you do speak to them, you're speaking to them on a much higher level saying, Oh, yes, last time you were in the shop, you bought this, you know, these are examples. There's there's so many examples we could use that show this kind of connection between people. And it's been a difficult year for people who are now learning to work from home. And that's that's a big challenge not only for adults, but for school aged children as well. And one of the biggest problems that we see from a technological standpoint with people is security in terms of we hear all the stories all the time about companies getting breached, and data being leaked, and malware and ransomware. And hospitals being held hostage by this is terrible stuff. And so much of this comes from us humble humans, you know that most of the the bad stuff it gets into an organization isn't done through a sophisticated drilling technique. It's done by fooling us humans to let them in at the vampires in. So this means that we have to learn how to use passwords and passwords have been for the last 20 years. For a lot of people, it's going to be the names of their kids, the dogs their first school, the most common password to this day is something like password 123 or 123456. And even administrators who look after the computers for us, will so often use admin or admin 123 is their password to save time. It's a hassle trying to think about passwords. So my point is, well, why should it be? You know, first of all, it shouldn't really be up to us to have to do this. But unfortunately we do because we are the weak link in the chain, whether we're working from home or getting that email in the you know, in your inbox at work that says hey, click on this, it's a job application or it's a it's a COVID hygiene update, something like that, then we get fooled into clicking on the bad stuff. Now when it comes to managing passwords, we should never have to write another password. Again, there are password management software programs out there, which will generate passwords for you that are amazingly complicated. They're strings of letters and numbers and punctuation that you could never possibly memorize. Now, reason I'm saying this is because they do work, of course. But for the end user, there's a trust factor that says How can I let go of this thing. I'm comfortable maintaining passwords that I can remember, now you're asking me to give this over to a piece of software to use. And I'm letting go of the control of using these passwords. So this is the Rubicon, if you'd like the river that I have to get people over to say, to understand how password management software works, that you don't have to memorize them any longer. It will take care of this for you. Every time you log on to your favorite web page, it will log you in but nobody else can get in because these are too difficult to figure out. And they say oh, I couldn't possibly let go of this. I need to I need to have control over my passwords. So I say okay, quick little test here. Think about the third person on your contact list in your phone and tell me what their phone number is. And they'll say, I don't know. I just pull it up and it dials for me. And it's an aha so you're not worried about forgetting there. numbers because your phone will take care of it. And it's like, it's a bit like a gotcha moment to show that we have emerged into some areas where we have let go of the control and given it over to our machines, not in any way to lose control, but to share the control. And those are the kinds of fear concepts that I work with. So I'm not plugging in the individual password management brand, other than saying, everybody should use one, you know, choose the one that your trusted colleagues recommends. But you should not be using passwords. And you certainly should not be using, for example, honest answers to challenge questions like What was the name of your first high school, or what was the name of your first pet, because anybody who's a good troller, and cybercriminal, can find those things out from your Facebook profile or any other social thing. So we got to move away from an old school mindset that was good 2030 years ago. But now it's a matter of sharing the technology, sharing the intelligence and letting go a bit of the grunt work if you'd like, but feeling trust that you're still in control. So that's what I try to help people do is to recognize that these technologies do indeed work extremely well for us, they can make your career, your life, your finances are so much more satisfying and successful. But it does require a little bit of, you know, putting a toe in the water and trying these things out and seeing just what they can do for you.Ari Gronich 16:23  Got it. So that's cool. And we've got this situation going on right now in the world where the technology that we've been trusting to use and connect and network is beginning a systematic process of censorship and echo chamber algorithmic, you know, delivery systems that basically keep us inside of a bubble that is based on our preconceived notions. And, you know, we've we're basically in this very odd, strange place where most people don't even know where they've been taken to in the last 510 years. And on the level of both technology and organizational psychology, that psychology part of how does one, you know, kind of step out of the matrix, so to speak, and yet still utilize the matrix for the benefit that it's that is there without falling into the traps of it?Steve Prentice 17:36  A two word answer critical thinking, people need to regain their capacity to think critically and think for themselves. What has happened over the last couple of decades is we have moved from a thinking society to exactly as you said, which is an echo chamber in which people seek out the news and the truth that matches their current biases. That could be a freedom of expression type concept, really, I want to seek out the news source that matches my political ideology. Okay, that's fair enough. But as a sort of a side story to illustrate this point. I come from England originally, and a lot of people who visit England are surprised, or at least they were in again in previous years, how well educated the taxi drivers seem to be, you know, you can have a conversation with a cab driver in London, and that person will tell you anything and everything about whatever you want to know. In fact, comedian George Burns once said, you know, it's amazing that taxi drivers and barbers aren't running the world because they seem to know so much about everything. But what it came down to was an education system not just only in the UK, but just just in the times where it was okay to learn stuff more than just simply what was there for your job. You know, you might say, Why does a taxi driver need to know about the the civil war you know, the US revolution, anything like that Revolutionary War, knowledge is a powerful thing, the enjoyment of knowledge, the learning, the capacity to think and see both sides is the kind of stuff that has been lost as we have channeled our way into exactly that individual channels of enjoyment. You know, every member of your family may be watching different TV shows on different TVs are on their devices, so there's no opportunity for collective discussion, it's a matter of just simply slurping in the stuff that you want to see. So honestly, if you want to break free of the echo chamber without endangering, but instead of actually perhaps strengthening your political beliefs or ideologies, whatever they happen to be, we have to have a critical thinking the capacity to think and question things, see both sides and then come to a conclusion. This by the way, our is something that the future of work specialists are speaking about all the time, you know, no matter what line of business you want to be in, whether it's in mechanical trade or in in high tech or in US professional service of some sort. The future of work is going to be based around a human skills such as critical thinking, and empathy and it can capacity to listen actively to others, because certain of our skills will be swallowed up by AI technologies. And they're getting better at certain jobs like travel agents, and so forth. Now, you can do it all online, as you know. But what's going to make us as individuals still valuable, is as we surf the career waves looking for what we want to do, the ability to do those very human and subtle concepts, such as once again, thinking critically. This means going back to our previous concept that when you get an email coming into your inbox that might be from me from Steve says, Hey, you know, click on this thing, it's a really great piece of instruction on how to do better COVID hygiene in your office, you pause and say, wait a second, is that really from Steve, should I really click on this? It's stopping and thinking rather than just rushing headlong into everything on a reactionary level. And I want to add one more thing to that, if I may. We are working with technologies that are primary light source based technologies, you know, we're looking at screens and the computers in our phones. And this is not tinfoil hat thinking here, it's quite straightforward is that your optical system, your brain and your eyes are designed to process information that is pretty analog and are based on reflected light, you know, pen and paper, just stuff that you can see. So when you start getting into stuff that it's coming at you from a light source, it is actually routed through the brain differently. And that's one of the reasons why it's so hard to resist wanting to respond to an email message or a text message. It's not the nature of the message, it is actually how it impacts your nervous system to say this is urgent, you must deal with it right now. And so we combine therefore, again, a micro channeling of information, you know, by choosing the the channels that match your current mindset, with the fact that we are still slaves to biological reflexes that haven't caught up with the technologies that we have at our disposal. And so we respond to them in disproportionately urgent ways. And together, these things have created a kind of a perfect storm, stopping people from really being able to think clearly as individuals. And so that would be my long winded answer. For us. That's the approach we need to take, once again, the solution is within us. It's easy, and it's free. But it does require that we focus back again on the capacity to think critically, from one or two or 10 sides of an argument and pull in as much information as possible before moving forwards. And those who seek to do this, again, it becomes one of those intangible but highly valuable skills that can be applied to all kinds of businesses and jobs moving forward.Ari Gronich 22:37  Yeah, so in my book, a new tomorrow, I talk a lot about critical thinking common sense and recognizing the butterfly effector cause and effect in general, and how the consequences to our actions don't just stop with the direct consequences, but there's a consequence to the consequences to the consequence to the consequences and etc. And in some ways, we need to get back to a place where common sense critical thinking is common again, because right now, it's it's not common. But at the same time, I also talk about the things like the poisons that are in our air and our water, and the neurotoxic abilities of those that chemistry to affect whether we can cognitively thinking critically think as well as we used to be or if that's being suppressed via some of those chemicals. And like one of those chemicals is fluoride in our water does absolutely zero good. But it was originally used by the war machine in in Germany, to control the minds of the soldiers so that they were easily programmable. And all of a sudden, like mid 1940s, all of a sudden, we're putting it now in our water here in the United States and claiming that it's going to help with our teeth when we know that scientifically speaking, you have to have a different form of fluoride, and it has to be a direct application of this different form in order for to do any benefit for our teeth. But that's not the only thing that's a neurotoxin, that's kind of causing this situation of lack of critical thinking, lack of common sense. What have you found as a psychologist, you know, basically, difference between 20 years ago and today in the ability to have common sense and critical thinking in the population. Have you have you found that it's had a significant drop or a minor drop Are you know, What have you found,Steve Prentice 25:01  I don't see that it's had a drop or an increase, I think we have just simply expanded logarithmically the volume of everything. If you go back 20 3040 100 years, you're still gonna have organizations that have a vested interest in suppressing the truth. You know, they're Photoshop, you know, is a new technology, but faking photographs has been around since photographs existed, the concepts like fluoride, or sodium in the water, suppressing the information for situations like Love Canal, and other places where, you know, lots of industrial dumping went on. Organizations have always continued to suppress the capacity to find the truth and not saying suppress the truth, but suppress people's capacity to find the truth. You know, in the era where we had three or four major television channels, and we had trusted news readers like Walter Cronkite, it was, that was the target was was how to manage that particular narrow flow of information. But now, in this age, of course, you know, as we've seen, with the rise of some large social media platforms, anybody can post anything and and basically generate a circle of followers very, very easily. So the the problem has magnified exponentially, as you know, and in league with the opportunities for us to use the technologies for our own devices. So yeah, it really hasn't changed, you know, in terms of additional subtraction, just simply expansion. But I always say that the everybody's got the the the knowledge of the world at their fingertips, literally, I mean, your phone can find you anything you want to find. just choosing one source of knowledge is going to, once again, keyhole you into one particular line of thinking. So we have that opportunity to think critically using our devices to say, Okay, if someone tells me about a particular city or town or situation going on how many areas how many different directions Can I actually find that information from and you know, come to my own educated conclusion. So no, I haven't seen it change, I just seen it, expand in scope, if you learn to me and same level, just louder, and but we now have much more opportunity to fix that problem as individuals. And it's quite a pleasurable experience just going online and seeing what I can learn from different sources before coming to a conclusion.Ari Gronich 27:17  Yeah, I just want to add that those different sources probably should be different than, you know, starting differently than just the search engine of Google or just Yahoo, or just being or just any specific search engine, because I know, my my stepdaughter is, is in college. And she does a lot of research and show look something up on Google and get completely different responses than if she looks it up on DuckDuckGo. Or being or one of the other search engines. And so, you know, let's talk a little bit about why it might be, you know, people have prescribed an agenda to Google, and an agenda to certain search engines and certain algorithms that they think is a cute, you know, conspiracy from some, you know, outside source that controlling the inside, right. But can it is it? Is it just that or is it what what makes that algorithm for Google completely different than the search results that you might get on a being or Yahoo or DuckDuckGo? And why is it important to to look on all of those versus just one?Steve Prentice 28:45  Well, the the algorithm of Google when it first when Larry Page and Sergey Brin were at the at the helm of it completely was remarkably different from those that hadn't before, which were largely keyword based. Their algorithm was based on all kinds of the number of connections and and sort of back back connections between, you know, links between websites, it was incredibly brilliant at the time. And I can't confess to knowing what they're doing with it right now. I mean, things like Google and Amazon have grown into enormous, enormous world changing beasts and the number of things they have going. It just boggles the mind literally. But But again, I always want to stop and say, Well, you know, who's a who's on the board of directors of any of these organizations. And I'm not pointing to anyone in particular, but who is now guiding the overall philosophy of this group. Because that's obviously with any organization or company how you're going to sway the the slant is is, who your directors are and who the shareholders are responding to. So something like Google Of course, it has become the industry leader of searching something it has the honor of becoming a verb, which is the the big definition here is go and Google something now, however, are there other resources and I tell people once again, I mean, when you look at these sort of the big, big top five social things, I always talk about Twitter. And I get some eye rolling because people think all they've ever seen about Twitter is certain, you know, high profile individuals abusing it for their own purposes. And yes, there's a lot of junk and a lot of offensive material on Twitter. But there's also a lot of really good people that I thought leaders intelligent people in your industry you know, even if you are working in something that you don't think is high tech, let's say you're a carpenter, you build you do floors, hardwood flooring, okay? What can I possibly learn from Twitter about hardwood flooring? Well, there are people out there who are talking about trends and design new techniques and procedures for treating woods and so forth. These are thought leaders, and they're not necessarily going to be putting up a big website, or even their own podcast, they're going to be just simply posting a thought here or there. So one of the best ways of micro learning because lifelong learning is one of these key future steps to think about as well. Lifelong Learning doesn't mean taking courses all the time, it's also about taking five minutes to read the tweets of these thought leaders who have chosen to follow. So ignore the 10 billion other people who are saying stupid stuff and just focus on 10 or 20. People who are thought leaders, researchers, people, you'd want to meet at a at a conference, let's say, and just see what they're saying about your industry or about something peripheral to that industry. That is where knowledge can come from as an ultimate source to running through the Google matrix or any other search engine metrics, find those leaders who don't have a vested interest in being found on Google, they just simply exploring the world their own way. One of my favorites is the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. I mean, I'm not a marine biologist, I just happen to love nature in the water, I just love oceans and ocean life as as just from a lay person's perspective. So I love reading some of the scientists who go down in the diving submarines and just look around and so forth. It's very, very enlightening, but also enjoyable, even though I have no desire to become a marine biologist. So those are people on my special list, and I enjoy learning, just learning peripherally peripherally, from what they have to share. So micro learning opportunities in places that aren't, let's say structured and guided, the way that perhaps the major search engines might be is one opportunity. Once again, just looking for a doing searching by keywords across not only the standard search engines, but there are sort of micro search engines within universities or looking deeper, it'd be on page one, into what else is out there. It's obvious that the internet is the easiest way to do this. It's at your table, it's right there physically at your fingertips, rather than going to a library or taking the course somewhere. But once again, just a matter of spreading out the searching not only a sort of outbound searching by typing in keywords, but more importantly, inbound searching by reading articles.I like for example, Google news alerts. And even though that's going back to Google, I can set up some news alerts with keywords. And it will bring in stories from the the news wires that are of importance to me, but there because I've that I've set up those search terms rather than going through their actual algorithms. So I guess bottom line is to cast your net wide, but don't simply rely on search engines and their collected wisdom that way, but search out those people, if I read an essay that has been posted by somebody who I'm following on Twitter, now I'm reading their white paper, their documents, and that's moving me into another world of knowledge that Google may not have caught up with yet. So that's what I would say is just just diversify your intellectual portfolio by just looking for people thought leaders, once again, it's the human connection that I think is going to drive people further and give you whether it's just directly applicable knowledge or peripherally peripherally applicable knowledge, or just simply connections to other people. That's that's the true dividend of being connected online, I think.Ari Gronich 33:57  Cool. So I'm gonna ask you to contradict yourself a little bit, but not really, which is why Does somebody want magazines and newspapers and the printed word to stay printed versus just be online or audioSteve Prentice 34:19  printed word has a far greater impact on your brain than does do the same words on screen much further. The reason I said before, the pace by which your eyes and brain process information is far more in line with analog than with digital. So you can read the same essay or the same article on screen as you could with a paper version as well and you will retain more from that paper version. This is just a nature of how your our brains are constructed. So I would very much be in favor of of sitting down and reading something on paper. As much as I am a technical enthusiast. I just think that's a great way of really pulling information in at the pace that you want. Obviously, there's a sidebar to that. In fact, the most things that are published are published by once again, multinational media companies who have a vested interest in you buying stuff, I mean, when only had to look has to look at all the magazines you could possibly buy in a, you know, brick and mortar bookstore, there's just so many special interest magazines. But there is an actual haptic tangible pleasure for many people in thumbing through a magazine is a different interaction completely from being on screen. And even younger people who have grown up completely surrounded by the information online, can recognize that there's a tangible difference when actually sitting down and reading a magazine or a book. So it's always going to be people's personal choice. It's obviously much more expensive to create and manufacture, hardcopy, and it's also less ecologically sound to do so. But from an information processing perspective, it is it is a few marks above, in terms of its efficacy as a deliverer of information.Ari Gronich 36:04  Yeah, so you know, I look at things like what you're saying, economical, you know, benefits to not printing, because of that extra resource. But then I saw a statistic about how much electricity it takes for you to do one single Google search. And the amount of energy it takes for a single Google search was exponential, comparatively to the call of nature of paper, especially if you went back to some of the sustainable sources of paper, like hemp paper, and things like that. So it's an interesting conundrum, I believe that we are trying to do things that are good for nature, we're trying to create more sustainability and sustainable practices. But we end up creating situations where we literally are doing the exact opposite of the intention. And this is a place for critical thinking and common sense to start playing in. And I'll give a really quick example of that, and that is the original Prius, and I'm not sure if they changed this or not, but they were, you know, digging the nickel mines in Canada. And then they would ship those raw nickel, you know, material to China, on oil driven, you know, ship barges, and then they would have to go and do all of the taking of that material and turning it into and processing it into the battery, and then it would ship somewhere else for them to actually start to assemble. And that was another layer of waste and lack of sustainability. And so, by the time a Prius got back to the States, it had gone back and forth, I think a few times or parts of it had and you had already consumed. I think it was four or five times more. And I don't remember the numbers Exactly. But the the amount of lifetime value of the savings of the electric benefit, right. And it's also given rise to this massive industry of electric vehicles, which could one day be more sustainable than they are expendable or more than were expending. So is the benefit and does they outweigh the benefit outweigh the loss is the the consequence to the action? Right? And the consequences to those actions? Are they relative and sustainable? And when it comes to profit, does the profit really matter? If we're talking about human lives and the ability to live on a planet that we've been kind of raping?Steve Prentice 39:35  Well, there's there's two big questions there, he said is that one is actually sustainable. And the other one is, does the profit concept really matter? With regards to sustainability, it's a horse race, obviously, I mean, ultimately, if you could sort of say that the all those electric cars will eventually get manufactured more locally, or if they do need to be shipped across the world. They'll be shipped on on boats that are maybe wind powered. There are New, you know, sales like sale based freighters out already. You could you could see that the leveling of that particular curve over time as all the technologies that support the manufacturer, that electric car, and all of the the grid supports the electrical charging, including your own capacity to recharge from your home using the solar powers and solar panels rather.If we can win that horrible horse race, then yes, I think you can move ahead and generations to come would look back on the 19th and 20th centuries as a dark ages unto itself. But when you look back on the Dark Ages prior to this, or even in the 17 1800s, during the Industrial Revolution, where there were smokestacks belching out coal and wood effluent everywhere, we've come a long way from burning anything in sight to make heat and make power and horses dropping their stuff all over the all over the place. And the diseases that came from that sewage systems, you know, just the infrastructure that we have, has brought us a long way from the dirt. We were scrabbling around with just a mere 300 years ago. So can we do it? Can we get to that utopia where these things are actually making a net gain in terms of ecological sustainability? Yes, but are we going to do it in time? Or? That's the big question because people may scoff at the concept of when when the scientists once again say the average temperature is going up by two degrees Celsius. And everyone says, what, two degrees Celsius big deal, that means nothing. And the scientists themselves have admitted perhaps they were wrong in the way they marketed that because when they say two degrees, they're talking about an average global average. So countries like Australia or, or places like California may be burning themselves to the ground. And that's raising temperatures on one extreme there. And there are extremes of cold happening elsewhere. And so they average it out. That's again, the problem with scientists and technologists as they are way too literal, and they expect the rest of the world to follow that. So that's an average guys, which means that there's a lot of up and down happening. So is it sustainable, maybe if we can beat the the kind of landslide we have created in in in warming the earth jus to not only carbon effluence of our own, but you know, as the as the ice is retreating, of course it's releasing methane in the ground. It is cutting back on the Earth's capacity to reflect light so there's all these ancillary ways in which we're heating the earth is not all industry. But to your second point, you know, is this profitable to do this? I'm always kind of amazed when I watch the the it's not only in the states of course but around the world the the the big oil and the big industry bigwigs who fight tooth and nail against progress because they have too much money to be made still in oil and coal. And I wonder if they were to turn their their manufacturing processes into creating solar and tidal power, they could still make money there there's a profit margin there too, if that was it, and that is the thing that motivates most people, sadly, is that we are a we are a predatory species we are there to to beat our way to the top of the human pile as well as you know, just just to survive that there's no question that we are a predatory species so the profit motive will never die away. I'm not saying I agree with it, but I'm saying that will never die away because it is just fundamental to human instinct to survive and thrive and if I have a billion dollars and you have zero Well too bad for you, I've got my world community and I'm safe and that is again I'm not in not condoning that or agreeing with it. But it is a fundamental principle of survival. So the profit margin will not go away but it's very easy to turn around and say well you can make as much money building wind farms as you can drilling into the ground and fracking all the all the limestone you there's ways you can generate renewable energies, why not simply transfer that and that's that's what I have a hard time grasping. I mean, I know when I'm on level why they do it, but it's it's not like everyone says, Okay, let's stop drilling oil. And you guys just just twiddle your thumbs for 100 years? No, there's there's a lot of things they could do to replace that. And these technologies are emerging. Wind turbines Do not kill bald eagles by the millions. But even with new technologies and turbines do not have to spin around like big blades that are wavy ones that look like the ripple fins of a jellyfish or a cuttlefish that wiggle around the oscillates rather than rotate. So can we do this? Boy, that's not what I want to put any money on because we are in a horse race against the the ecology and the the the climate change that is inevitably happening here is undoubtedly happening. But if we can turn it around to speak the language of profits, because hand in hand with profit motive, of course, his political motive people want their voters to continue to vote for them. This is again, every country in the world that has vote Democrat democracy or a parent democracy, so they're not going to want to lay off 100,000 oil wells. occurs, because that gets remembered during an election. So the politicians themselves must also come on board with this, I'm seeing a slow shift towards this. But the matter is, is that shift that is slow, sufficiently fast to get us out of this this pincer movement that's happening between us and the ecology. So it's, it's a big long way of saying, I'm not quite sure.Ari Gronich 45:24  I appreciate that. And, and I'm going to ask you another one you might not be so sure about, but is there something other than money, that, psychologically would be more important for a profit because you can profit with money, or you can profit with, you know, a purpose? Meaning that you have a purpose and the purpose reaches its its goal? And so where is the money on the scale of motivation? You know, if you're looking at motivating factors, profit might be here, is there something above financial profit or not, because we already know that people are below financial profit in most people's value books, so or at least in in the way that we've arranged our society.Steve Prentice 46:26  To my understanding, the only thing higher than profit as a goal is power. And when you look at people who have more money than they could possibly spend, you know, their grandchildren or possibly spend, the next thing they seek is power, political power. And that is inevitable. I mean, I like reading books on history from the last few centuries, because none of what's happening right now is new. It's happened over and over again. You know, we had a pandemic in 1918, almost 100 years ago. Some of the extreme right wing movements that are happening, happened 100 years ago, they happen 300 years ago, the madness of crowds, which is an actual title of a book, popular delusions and the madness of crowds, is all about how crowds do sort of come together around a concept. And then they whip that up into a frenzy that becomes a movement. And this again, has happened over the centuries over tulip bulbs and over all kinds of either profit making ventures in the New World, or the fear of witchcraft, or the fear of communism, or now the fear of cryptocurrency and blockchain, it's, it's all the same, the same kind of thing, that there's a collective fear that comes from the contagion of emotion that people share. So I don't think the profit is ever going to go away as the as the primary motivator for all of human undertakings. Many who disagree with that point, there's a lot of selfless people out there, there's a lot of those who are working, almost, you know, working themselves to death to save lives right now. Yes, on an individual level, but when you look collectively at any country that has millions of people, and it has a leader, the leaders tend to evolve, or ones that are focused primarily on profits, and on the power that comes from that. And when you look at countries that had had a strong socialist base, some of the Scandinavian countries, for example, and Canada, there's, there's a social safety net, and so on. It's a wonderful thing to have. But it's still not looked upon with great trust by the majority of the world, it just seems to wrong. So I would love to be wrong. On this point, I would love for humanity as a whole to come back to I think what a lot more of our ancestors are First Nations people in all countries that had that symbiosis with nature, and recognized how we all can exist together, I'd love for us to go back to some sort of mindset from that. But this particular Millennium has been focused right from, you know, at 1000, right through to now has been focused just on pure, just just getting as fast and as far as you can, and reaping the profits along the way. So I don't see that ending anytime soon. So any solutions have to be built into that language? And there's little bits of cracks of light here and there that we're seeing, but it is quite the struggle.Ari Gronich 49:19  Yeah, you know, it's interesting to me, because I look at I look at the world and and I'm kind of disappointed that people haven't quite figured out that we made this stuff up that this is all a figment of our collective imagination. And they can choose to have the outcomes that we currently have, or we can choose to create different outcomes if we get brave enough to change the constructs of how we've constructed the society. And so just on that psychological level, I you know, I'm I'm curious about that power versus profit or profit, leading to power being the ultimate motivation, because I'm not sure that I've met too many people that truly want power over another person. And so I feel like like there might be a conversation about how somebody can get power over themselves, without having to have power over somebody else. So that they can become that fulfill, you know, have that fulfillment of having that power. And I think that most attempts at power over other people are because they feel like they have no power over themselves.Steve Prentice 50:55  It's very possible. Indeed, I think when you look at any cross section of political leaders in any country, you're seeing exactly that people who perhaps weren't able to have power over themselves. And so they do pursue that that other path to have power over others. There's there's a, it's a mindset, they're about justifying your existence by having power over others. And you don't need to have a country of 300 million people, we're all 300,000,001 of the presidents and they want to have that power, you only need a few to climb that particular ladder. But I think going back to one of our earlier points, if you want to have power over yourself, you want to have a sense of self fulfillment and destiny, and just being able to drive your life the way you'd like it. Yes, I think that is eminently in anybody's hands. And once again, the the capacity we have for career management's and for just being aware of what's available out there in the world, that allows you to step out from under a shadow of fear that you may have whoever's holding power over you. Now the question becomes, why are they holding power over you now? And what can you do about it? So what number one is going to be your employer because you fear losing your job? Okay, well, remember that fear, there are two sides to the human existence, which is central to this, this statement here, we have an emotional side and a rational side. And the emotion side always wins. And the most powerful emotion of all, is fear. So fear is going to guide people and drive people to do things. When you look at the the masking controversy, you know, people who want to wear masks or don't want to wear masks in this particular situation. Those who do wear masks have recognized the logic of the the the transmission barrier that a mask provides. Those who do not largely are either fearing an invasion of their privacy or doubting it's the masks capacity, or fearing the reality that the mask symbolizes of the current pandemic that we're in is a big, big thing. We go down in that particular rabbit hole, but it's all about fear. So we have the fear of all kinds of things in the world. And so my question becomes, how can we now step out from under our own shadow of fear? And use logic to say, what can I fix about this? If I'm afraid of my boss, and I'm afraid of getting fired. So I work 18 hours a day, I do everything that is asked of me, because I fear getting fired. I'm going to say, Okay, let's change that fear. I wrote a I'm not plugging my book. But I just wanted to share the title that I wrote a book called work like a wolf. And the reason I wrote the book called work like a wolf is because when you compare wolves to dogs, wolves know how to find the next meal, they know how to go out there and hunt down their next meal. Dogs, my love, I have to have my own. But dogs have been domesticated, they traded their, their freedom for a regular meal and a warm place to sleep. So they wait to get fed. But a wolf has always got to keep his or her hunting instincts sharp to find out where their next opportunity is going to come from. When people can turn that on with themselves. So rather than being afraid of being fired, I want to say, I'm not afraid of being fired. I want to I want to build in myself my capacity of knowing what my skills are, where I can sell them and what I can do to always feel that I am in control, I have the power of myself career wise, by not being afraid of being fired. So that would be one of my answers to you there is power of oneself comes from learning what is causing you fear, and learning, recognizing how that fear dominates us purely physiologically and psychologically. And then saying, Okay, how can I eliminate that fear through facts? How can I find the facts to neutralize the fear? If I fear getting fired? Okay, what can I do to avoid getting fired? Well, I can learn more skills, I can learn more relationship management with the people around me, but I can also ensure my future by knowing what else is out there and how I can find it. And I really strongly believe everyone deserves to do that even if you're in a highly specific line of work that requires a factory if it let's say you're an aircraft engine mechanic. Great, you know, you can't open up your own competitor to Boeing. But you can find out what else is out there for aircraft manufacturers to, to, to sell their skills on. And similar to that, look at personal financial management, how to eliminate debt, how to pay down or eliminate credit card debts and all the things that at least in my generation, we were never taught in school never taught financial literacy. So learn how to take control of your own money. So you're no longer afraid of debt collectors, or banks and credit ratings and stuff like that. There's a lot of stuff much like the whole fluoride thing you were saying before that has been kind of implanted in US culturally, I was never taught about mortgages or credit cards, and I went to school.In fact, I remember that you had to be 21. And you had to qualify to get your first credit card. This is not so long ago, it was maybe 25 years ago. But now of course, you can get them they sent to you all the time. So the point is, learn about career management, learn about financial management, by taking control of those two things alone, you now step out from under the shadow of fear, and you start that particular an individual path of self power, power over self power over your own life. Nobody can fire you if you are able to sell your job or sell your skills somewhere else. And I'm saying that somewhere else exists, it exists. And then once again, it's at your fingertips to find it. Cool. SoAri Gronich 56:27  on that psychological level of fear, versus the psychological level of hope. I find that in my experience with people fear typically beats out hope. So what are some techniques that somebody can who's listening, can actualize can do when the fear of something has outweighed the hope. And they see and it stops them in their tracks.Steve Prentice 57:13  Once again, a short answer, write it down. I know that sounds weird to say it. But when you get the things that are circling in your head that are causing you fear, so long as they stay in your head, you will not be able to to slay those dragons, you have to get them physically out so you can see them. And here's what we have different kinds of memory in the body and the mind, we have short term memory long term memory and physical muscle memory, the thing that reminds you, you know, which which drawer which which which cupboard your coffee cup is, and you just simply open it by by default, you drive by physical by muscle memory, largely long term memory is where most of our memories are stored for most of our lives. The short term memory, however, is very limited. The two most people will say about eight items at one time. So if I was to dictate a 10 item list for you to go out and buy some stuff for me, without writing it down somewhere, you'd be lucky. If you remember eight, then if you get a phone call along on the way you'll be lucky if you remember to or even which store you're going to because your short term memory has been used up, it's been flushed, it's like the ram of a computer. So when you're wrestling with fear with problems with worry, the the more they circle around in that short term memory, there is no space for anything else to come in. So I always tell people, this is therapy, right? Whether it's self therapy, where you use a surface like paper, or a dry erase board or a smartboard on a conference call video conference. Or you use the vessel that is a counselor or a psychologist or therapist, someone who takes those thoughts and holds them for you. No matter what vessel or surface you use, you get these things out. Because when you get them out, number one, you can see them, you can see them again, you vet them from the outside and you reprocess them, which allows you to think them through even further. But secondly, you give your short term memory permission to let go of them. It actually won't forget them The moment you stop trying to remember them. That's ironically weird. But that's the one forget it as soon as you stop trying to remember. But it allows you now to work on the next level of solving your own problems. So when you go to a counselor or a psychologist, that person should not tell you what to do. I mean a physician, a doctor might prescribe something for you, a psychiatrist might prescribe a medicine or a technique for you. But psychologists and therapists are supposed to ask you how did this make you feel? You know, what do you think about this and pull out the the answers from you so you can solve your own problems with their guiding hands to help you along the way. So my answer once again is for people who are stuck in this this storm of worry and fear. The best way to get out of that is to write these things physically down somewhere. The act of writing especially handwriting as opposed to typing will give your brain the chance, as I said to look at it vetted, question it again. And create the space for the next thoughts and ideas to come in. And on a larger scale, if you're dealing with a problem that you wish to share with others, or if it's a work related problem, a crisis or an opportunity to innovate on a new product, same thing, get it out on a surface where everyone can see it, because then you're also going to benefit from the collective wisdom and experience of others in the room, the sum becomes greater than the parts when they can all see things. But the longer you keep things bottled up inside your head, the longer the problem will live with you. So that's my short answer is just write it down.Ari Gronich 1:00:33  Awesome, thank you. So what other kinds of things do you like to chat about when it comes to the collision of technology and people? What you know, what do you think of the idea that we soon are going to be part human part technology?Steve Prentice 1:00:56  Oh, we already are, I think I mean, we are. So imagine leaving your house and forgetting your phone. Oh, my goodness, I gotta go back. Gotta go get it. So we are part human part technology, you can't live without your phone. I remember one, sort of public speaker, psychologist type person doing this, it's something I would never do for a live audience. But he actually went and collected people's phones from the audience and watching the fear in their eyes when they lost this cherished device. So I think that ship has already sailed, we have, we have the greatest advice ever known to humankind. Isaac Asimov once said, The perfect machine is something with no moving parts. And that's what we have here is that a phone, you know, which is only one small part of your smartphone has no moving parts, per se, it could be anything you want it to be in terms of the apps that are available. So we have learned to create great tools, you know, hugely powerful thing much on on line with invention of steam power, and or even just meat, being able to make fire, you know, this, these are really great advances. So I want to see how we can make those, again, serve humanity in better ways. And one of the best ways I have found is in education. There's a concept that I love following called flipped schooling. And looking at all the young people out there, and especially when you keep track of the innovations that are happening with people who are 13 years old, or 19 years old, just just young people who've just come up with these amazing ideas, because they're there, they're not yet under the yoke of their employer and other particular restraints. They have brilliance that the traditional schooling system in most countries has, has always credit keep channeled into like a sausage factory, just move people through and push them out the other end, the flipped schooling, if you haven't heard of that before, have you heard of that before? You know, No, I haven't. Okay, so So what it is essentially is, you know, you and I went to school, you're the teacher would tell you a bunch of stuff boring in the way that the teachers taught back then, and send you home with a big bunch of homework, and you got to work this stuff through by yourself on the kitchen table, trying to figure out what the heck you just learned, flipped schooling, says, Okay, let's take those two things and turn them around. So we send students home with, let's say, videos, videos that are not not just your average YouTube video, but carefully created videos on a topic, let's say maybe it is a math topic that's visual and a bit more better explaining how a math topic works. So you learn that stuff on your own time at home, then you go back to class. And that's when you can capitalize on the teacher's knowledge to work through what you're trying to understand. Because learning is not about just hearing words, it's about massaging them into your brain and your soul in a way that will will stay and become something useful. So if I learn about, let's say, a component of algebra, or trigonometry, or geometry, or whatever, then I can go back to class during the day and ask the teacher What do you mean by this? Or how would it apply to that, I can now leverage the teacher's knowledge and skills to add to this sort of static knowledge I learned in the evening. So flipped schooling, paired with the fact that we are living in the era of the audience of one now that your educational requirements, your attention span, your personality type are going to be different from mine. If you're a Type A and I'm a Type B, we're going to learn differently. If you're a morning person, and I'm a night owl, we're going to learn differently. If I've got to look afte

As the Director of Science, Research and Academic Partnerships for Plastic Ocean Project, Inc. as well as the Executive Director, Bonnie Monteleone is a researcher who has collected plastic marine samples globally including four of the five main ocean gyres, the Caribbean, and has extended this work to Pyramid Lake, outside of Reno, Nevada.  Monteleone completed her first field study exploration in the North Atlantic Gyre in July 2009 in collaboration with  Maureen Conte, PhD. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and Bermuda Institute of Ocean Science (BIOS). In the fall of 2009, Monteleone accompanied Algalita Marine Research Foundation's 10-year resampling of the North Pacific Gyre, quantifying the rate of plastic marine debris growth to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, sampling a transect of 3,460 nautical miles (nm).In 2010, she continued her North Atlantic study resampling the same region in the North Atlantic. In fall of 2010, she joined 5 Gyres Institute in a first ever South Atlantic transect sampling for pelagic marine debris traveling 4,270 nm from Brazil to South Africa. In 2012, Monteleone collected samples from the South Pacific as part of the film project, A Plastic Ocean. To date, she has five years of data sets from the North Atlantic. A total of 217 surface samples were collected from all four oceans. Monteleone collaborates with Charles Moore, founder of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation (AMRF), Dr. Marcus Eriksen and Anna Cummings, co-founders of 5 Gyres Institute, Dr. William J.

What is Marine Permaculture? According to the Climate Foundation, “Kelp forests are one of Earth's most vibrant biomes and dynamic carbon sinks, drawing down more CO2 from the atmosphere by area than land-based rainforests do. They comprise a major tool in the fight against ocean acidification, climate change and biomass loss and hold the potential to help reverse global warming. In addition, kelp forests are the habitat and foundation of the food chain for countless of the fish and crustaceans many of us consume.” To learn more, please visit their website: www.climatefoundation.org. Who is Dr. Brian Von Herzen? Brian Von Herzen obtained his A.B. in Physics, Magna Cum Laude, from Princeton University and his Ph.D. in Computer and Planetary Science from Caltech where he was the recipient of the prestigious Hertz Fellowship (http://www.hertzfoundation.org). While at Princeton, Brian spent four years working closely with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. At Princeton, his dissertation on global climate models demonstrated how changes in the Earth's orbit affects climate. During his Caltech years Brian worked on models of the overabundance of carbon in Jupiter's atmosphere. Much of Brian's career has been in Silicon Valley, where he developed innovative technical solutions for companies like Pixar, Dolby, Microsoft, and others. Among other projects, he designed field programmable gate array (FPGA) applications considered to be among the world's fastest at the time. Brian leads projects on land and sea with individuals and groups in all parts of the world, including India, Africa, and the USA. He is the founder of The Climate Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to halting global warming in our lifetime.

In the first episode of season 2 of BIOmarkers, the audio series that archives the oral history of organic geochemistry, we speak with Dr. John Farrington, dean emeritus from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. In his interview, John discusses his career, his exciting research experiences, and his goings on after “failing!” retirement.

John and Nancy Todd and a group of scientist friends established the New Alchemy Institute on a twelve-acre site in Falmouth, Massachusetts. Greg Watson joined the staff in 1980. He was inspired to apply New Alchemy's strategies and solutions to urban areas. He and John Todd have remained life-long friends making it a point to lunch together each week whenever possible.New Alchemy influenced a generation who “moved back to the land” with the vision of living more sustainably. Organic gardening, aquaculture, bioshelters, plant-filtered waste-water treatment, compost toilets, renewable energy systems were all modeled, and the designs shared, by New Alchemy. Fritz Schumacher and Buckminster Fuller were among those who made pilgrimages to witness and support the work done there.Both Todd and Watson moved on to other projects, but the principles and systems thinking described in New Alchemy's mission statement continue to direct their work as it evolves to solve emerging problems of the day.Greg Watson is Director of Policy and Systems Design at the Schumacher Center for a New Economics. His work currently focuses on community food systems and the dynamics between local and geo-economic systems.Watson has spent nearly 40 years learning to understand systems thinking as inspired by Buckminster Fuller and to apply that understanding to achieve a just and sustainable world.John Todd has been a pioneer in the field of ecological design and engineering for nearly five decades. He is the founder and president of John Todd Ecological Design. Dr. Todd has degrees in agriculture, parasitology and tropical medicine from McGill University, Montreal, and a doctorate in fisheries and ethology from the University of Michigan. He is professor emeritus and distinguished lecturer at University of Vermont's Rubenstein School and a fellow of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics at UVM. He is also the founder and president of Ocean Arks International, a non-profit research and education organization; and co-founder of New Alchemy Institute, a research center that has done pioneering investigation into organic agriculture, aquaculture and bioshelters. He has been an assistant scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and assistant professor at San Diego State University.

In the sixth episode of BIOmarkers, the audio series that archives the oral history of organic geochemistry, we speak with Dr. Christopher Reddy, he is a senior scientist and the Stanley W. Watson chair in Oceanography at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. In his interview, Chris discusses his early life, pathway into the field of organic geochemistry, and his work on organic contaminants in coastal and oceanic waters.

Dr Casey Zakroff (@CaseyZakroff) is a marine biologist with a love for cephalopods - otherwise known as squids and other weird and wonderful ocean-dwelling creatures. In this episode, we talk about his research on squids facing the challenges of climate change, and also the challenges of science communication. Check out video footage of the adorable squids he worked with here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCOY1qnkNLcCasey did his PhD in the Mooney lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (https://www.whoi.edu/profile/amooney/) and is now in between jobs, but in the meantime is producing a great podcast where comedy improv meets science, called Thunk Tink (give it a listen here: https://curiopoda.com/), as well as working on a graphic novel.For more info on Nice to Know, follow me on Twitter @RobynSciences or email nicetoknowthepodcast@gmail.com. This series was made with the support of the Marie Curie Alumni Association.

How exactly are we impacting our own health, and the health of our future generations when we neglect the care of our oceans and waterways? Dr. John Stegemen Director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute for Oceans and Human Health (a branch of WHOI), and Dr. Scott Meschke, Associate Chair in the Department of Environment and Occupational Health Sciences at the University of Washington, will break it all down for you in the special health focused episode. Join these special experts, as they unpack waterborne illnesses, pathogens, unsafe drinking and recreation water, chemical pollution, red tide, and beyond. There is a deep connection between oceans and human health. This connection is seen in many ways, but largely through the seafood we delight in eating. Dr. Stegemen explores the risks of eating contaminated seafood on our bodies, minds and lives. Our daily activities, the very activities that should help contribute to our #bluemind and benefit our health, unfortunately hold great risk when we don’t care for our waterways, drinking water and water sanitation. Dr. Meschke educates us about the different waterborne pathogens, and viruses present in our shower's water vapor, drinking water and even food rinse-water. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/healthy-radio/support

Learn how to arm your employees with a sense of purpose! Stefan and I had one of those great podcast discussions that took us into the work he is doing to get people to pay attention to our sustainability challenges. Unless we stop what we are doing to our environment, we won’t have much left of the earth to live on, he firmly believes. But what I most enjoyed about our talk was learning how Stefan is mobilizing communities to change. As culture change experts, that's what we're all about at SAMC: helping organizations and the individuals within them change. Want or need to change? Stefan teaches us how to do it, now. Stefan's journey When friends ask Stefan Pagacik to describe what he does, it often leads to quizzical looks. "My life and career have not followed the traditional paths that most choose, and that is in large measure because of my entrepreneurial roots," he says. His grandfather came to America from Soviet Armenia and started a grocery business, competing against the likes of Star Market and Stop ‘n Shop and doing very well. The best definition he can offer is that ideas and innovative solutions are critical for his happiness. "I embrace taking risks, stumbling and trying again, as well as an otherworldly persistence to get answers that can solve a complex problem or challenge," he explains. "I love opening doors to opportunities and highly motivated leaders who combine integrity with innovative thinking. Original Thinking is in my DNA.” A multi-faceted path Stefan’s career has spanned several industries and roles, most recently as co-founder of AI4Impact, an artificial intelligence/machine learning firm focused on impact and sustainability. Previously, he built two impact-themed cloud and mobile platforms for retail and institutional investors interested in aligning their values and criteria with their portfolios. His prior entrepreneurial experience involved starting the Regional Technology Development Center of Cape Cod, a marine science accelerator in Southeastern Massachusetts which commercialized scientific developments in partnership with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the Marine Biological Laboratory. In addition, Stefan built a model for an energy transition solution from fossil fuels to biofuels for the government of Chile, and designed a social enterprise plan for the city of Detroit, aligning entrepreneurs and city agencies to stimulate business opportunities for blighted areas of the city, including a sustainable food corridor. A highly sought-after speaker and strategic business advisor, Stefan helps corporate leaders tie mission and vision statements to strategic initiatives for employee recruitment/retention and customer development.

A collaboration of researchers and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute discovered an 85 linear mile swath of deep sea Coral Reef off the Atlantic Coast of the US. The discovery comes after the Okeanos had mapped a number of deep sea mounds.  The coral reefs can house a diverse array of species and attract predators such as the swordfish that was observed by Woods Hole's ROV, Alvin. The reef could become a protected area as it would be important for fisheries and it would prevent oil and gas develop that is earmarked for the Atlantic Ocean. Source  Enjoy the Podcast!!! Do you think the deep sea coral reef will become a protected area? Let us know in the Facebook Group (it's free to join!!!). Do you like Dungeons and Dragons?

Dr. Edward DeLong is a Professor in the Department of Oceanography at the University of Hawai’i Manoa as well as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT. When he’s not working, Ed loves to be out in nature. He enjoys spending time outside with his family, hiking, kayaking, and snorkeling in the beautiful coral reefs near his house. Ed has also taken up yoga to help him stay limber and relaxed. Research in Ed’s lab brings together a variety of disciplines to study microbial communities in the ocean. He is interested in their ecology, evolution, biochemistry, genomics, and their impacts on marine systems. Particularly of interest for Ed are the microscopic organisms that are the primary producers or “forests of the ocean” responsible for releasing oxygen and serving as food for other organisms in marine food chains. Ed received his B.S. in Bacteriology from the University of California, Davis and his Ph.D. in Marine Biology from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. Afterwards, he conducted postdoctoral research at Indiana University. Ed has worked as a research scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, a faculty member at the University of California, Santa Barbara, a research scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, and a faculty member at MIT before accepting his current position in Hawai’i. His honors and achievements include the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, the DuPont Young Faculty Award, the Apple Bioinformatics Cluster Award, the Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky Medal of the European Geosciences Union, the Proctor and Gamble Award in Applied and Environmental Microbiology, American Society for Microbiology D.C. White Research and Mentorship Award, the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences Outstanding Alumni Award, A.G. Huntsman Medal for Excellence in Marine Science, and the Moore Foundation Marine Microbiology Investigator Award. Ed is also an Elected Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Microbiology. Ed has also been elected as an Associate of the European Molecular Biology Organization and is the Vice President and President Elect of the International Society of Microbial Ecology. In addition, he currently serves as the co-director of the Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology (SCOPE). Ed joined us for a conversation about his experiences in life and science.

Four years ago, Jason and I met at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and started adventuring and "getting healthy doses of unavoidable reality". In this episode, I get off track by telling Jason about a recent story - Canyoneering in Water Holes Canyon - before we get into the meat of the show, using Systems of Decision in Adventure and Life. We also discuss Jason's research into ocean circulation patterns and developing a technology that uses physiological markers to track how far out of the [...]

The saying goes that we known more about the surface of the moon than we do about the deep sea - and that's probably true. But modern technologies are opening up the mysterious depths allowing scientists to venture further than ever before into this alien realm. In this special podcast, Helen Scales explores the wonders of the deep with biologist Tim Shank from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US. He recently led a pioneering expedition into the deep sea around Indonesia where his team discovered dozens of new species and shed light on extraordinary ecosystems in the dark depths...
