1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:27,720
The system that we're talking about is going to be the HAARP system, the High Frequency

2
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,660
Active Auroral Research Project operating up here in Alaska.

3
00:00:32,660 --> 00:00:38,840
And if you also think about, and most people remember this from even high school science,

4
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,340
but the magnetic field lines that come from the South Pole stretching around and then

5
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:48,160
intersecting at the North Pole and surrounding the planet, these magnetic field lines are

6
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:53,520
very much similar to what you would see on a bar magnet illustration in your basic science

7
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:59,880
books or in a motor, if you think about the Earth spinning and actually creating a dynamo,

8
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:06,100
a motor and these magnetic field lines being one of the out products of that in conjunction

9
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:08,600
with interaction with the solar wind.

10
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:14,960
You get things like the magnetosphere and the magnetotail which comes back behind sort of

11
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:19,300
the way the downwind of the planet, if you will, from the Sun itself.

12
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:27,520
In any case, this dynamic of the Earth's motion, solar radiation, the interplay of all of the

13
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,660
various factors of the planet are looked at in separate independent individual science,

14
00:01:32,660 --> 00:01:34,560
not really looked at in integrated science.

15
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,180
How do all those systems work together and what do they create in outcomes?

16
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:45,120
But as we look at HAARP, the primary idea is to affect this ionosphere and then affect

17
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:50,720
these magnetic field lines and ideally, you want to affect those magnetic field lines at

18
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,340
the closest place to which they intersect the planet, which happens to be at the poles.

19
00:01:55,340 --> 00:02:02,040
And in the case of where Alaska sits on a map, very near the poles, the furthest northern

20
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:08,100
territory in the United States where you could locate a facility on U.S. territory that you

21
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:12,120
could inject energy directly into the magnetic field lines of the Earth.

22
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,840
We're going to be talking about an area above the Earth's surface, about 30 miles above

23
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,300
the Earth's surface, moving out several hundred miles beyond that, the ionosphere.

24
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:24,480
It's a highly charged area.

25
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,260
It filters out cosmic radiation, various particle streams, that without it would make life impossible

26
00:02:30,260 --> 00:02:31,260
on the planet.

27
00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:38,320
Now, one of the ideas behind HAARP, which is an array or field of antenna here in Alaska,

28
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,240
there's 180 antenna in the array today.

29
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:48,960
It fires or concentrates, focuses radio frequency energy that it literally sends up into a relatively

30
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:54,920
narrow beam affecting the magnetic field lines in one instance where the energy is normally,

31
00:02:54,920 --> 00:03:00,440
naturally flowing from the south pole coming up, arcing high above the equator, then coming

32
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,540
back into the north pole with the energy flowing from south to north.

33
00:03:04,540 --> 00:03:10,180
What happens is those magnetic field lines act as wave guides, so you can pump energy out

34
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:16,000
of HAARP, focus it on those magnetic field lines, and then it screws itself, if you were

35
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,460
to be able to see it, with like a corkscrewing motion where the energy is actually moving

36
00:03:20,460 --> 00:03:25,040
now from north to south using the magnetic field lines as a wave guide.

37
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,620
Now what would that do, essentially?

38
00:03:28,620 --> 00:03:33,600
If you had, for instance, an intercontinental ballistic missile that gets fired from China

39
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:39,760
to the U.S., and it traverses those magnetic field lines with those charged particles racing

40
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,940
along them, using them as wave guides, it would create a virtual shield around the planet,

41
00:03:46,940 --> 00:03:52,520
so any of those incoming objects, intercontinental ballistic missiles, any satellites that happen

42
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:58,260
to traverse those areas, or any other electronically sensitive equipment would be destroyed almost

43
00:03:58,260 --> 00:04:04,900
instantly, and so when you think about HAARP, there's a couple of ways to look at it.

44
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:09,580
One is manipulation of those field lines, those magnetic field lines, which actually have

45
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:15,620
been mapped, and if you look at some of the ways those are mapped is barium particles are

46
00:04:15,620 --> 00:04:21,540
injected into the upper atmosphere and lower ionosphere using barium-laden rockets.

47
00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:26,620
What those create when you inject radio frequency energy is air glow, where you get this sort

48
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:28,260
of light-up effect.

49
00:04:28,260 --> 00:04:34,820
So you can actually see this corkscrewing motion around those magnetic field lines and serving

50
00:04:34,820 --> 00:04:35,820
as wave guides.

51
00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:41,960
In fact, they did that test a number of years ago in Alaska, and they do these from time

52
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,700
to time, just more or less illustrate what they think theoretically should happen is actually

53
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:50,340
happening in place and at the time of the experiments.

54
00:04:50,340 --> 00:04:58,020
Now, HAARP as an array of antenna can be focused and concentrated, and you've got to think about

55
00:04:58,020 --> 00:05:02,620
this in a much different way than normally how radio frequency energy behaves.

56
00:05:02,620 --> 00:05:09,160
If you think about a radio broadcast antenna, broadcasting radio frequency energy, that energy

57
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:16,040
dissipates or spreads out very rapidly from the point of broadcast, the antenna, out into

58
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:21,220
the atmosphere, and the further away you get, the less dense, the less concentrated is that

59
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:27,820
radio frequency energy, which is why radio stations eventually fade out over distance.

60
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:33,780
On the other hand, what HAARP does is by firing this array or field of antennas, imagine firing

61
00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:40,400
them in such a way as to create kind of a corkscrewing motion, a cyclotron resonance is what it's called,

62
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,180
where that energy is then focused to a smaller and smaller area, and as it hits the ionosphere,

63
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:50,700
it becomes concentrated, and think about that in the same way as light coming off of a laser

64
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:53,680
versus light coming off of a flashlight.

65
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,860
When you think about HAARP, think about it as a mechanism on the ground that's designed

66
00:05:58,860 --> 00:06:04,700
to interact directly or plug into those magnetic field lines and actually then use the environment

67
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:08,120
itself as part of the machine on the ground.

68
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,820
And think about it in this sense.

69
00:06:09,820 --> 00:06:16,500
Think about that machine on the ground, this field of antenna broadcasting radio frequency

70
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:22,040
as a primer, the small amount of energy, because the big energy is contained in the natural

71
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,040
environment.

72
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:28,660
And the idea is if we understand enough about how these mechanisms work, then we can trigger

73
00:06:28,660 --> 00:06:34,540
various cascading effects where it sort of builds on the energy that's naturally in place.

74
00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:39,220
And so when you think about HAARP, not just in the effect of magnetic field lines, but another

75
00:06:39,220 --> 00:06:44,060
opportunity to manipulate energetic systems within the Earth has to do with the ionosphere

76
00:06:44,060 --> 00:06:45,060
itself.

77
00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:51,140
And imagine that ionosphere is a bubble around the Earth, several hundred miles thick, again

78
00:06:51,140 --> 00:06:54,040
starting about 30 miles off the Earth's surface.

79
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,220
Now that's a highly charged area, a tremendous amount of energy potential there.

80
00:06:58,220 --> 00:07:02,900
In fact, some will remember a number of years ago, there was a shuttle experiment with a

81
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:08,360
drug, a tether, a dangling wire through the ionosphere to see what would happen.

82
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,840
And energy was picked up as it moved, because when you move something, a conductor through

83
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:19,380
an electric field that's as charged as the ionosphere, it actually begins to move current,

84
00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:20,380
which it did.

85
00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:24,100
It shunted that current straight into the shuttle and it almost blew it out of the sky.

86
00:07:24,100 --> 00:07:28,780
Now, the thing that came out of that, that didn't get widely talked about, was the amount

87
00:07:28,780 --> 00:07:36,460
of energy produced could be useful, for instance, for keeping a low orbiting space platform in

88
00:07:36,460 --> 00:07:37,880
orbit around the planet.

89
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,980
Being able to charge it up by just tapping the energy, by the fact that it's orbiting the

90
00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:46,960
planet and moving through the ionosphere, would be one way to charge up these kinds of space-based

91
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:47,960
platforms.

92
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:56,340
Whether they were for weapon systems or running low orbiting satellites, but basically moving

93
00:07:56,340 --> 00:08:02,240
energy into space in normal, like shuttle payloads, is prohibitively expensive.

94
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:08,880
Very difficult to pull off to any great degree, but if you could create an energy source sufficient

95
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,680
to run these kinds of systems, then you eliminate all kinds of logistical problems and you're able

96
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,960
to keep these things aloft for a great deal of time.

97
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:23,760
Part of the HAARP idea was if you could focus radio frequency energy, you could even concentrate

98
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,820
it and send energy directly to the same kind of low orbiting space platforms, as an example.

99
00:08:29,820 --> 00:08:35,220
One of the other thoughts with, with HAARP systems are the actual heating of the ionosphere.

100
00:08:35,220 --> 00:08:39,920
And when it, when it's heated, because this energy is concentrated, what happens is the ionosphere

101
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,520
then lifts up, moves out several hundred kilometers.

102
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,560
Now imagine if you're a satellite drifting through space where there's no atmosphere,

103
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:52,200
and all of a sudden you hit a column of atmosphere.

104
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,080
What will happen is it creates friction and that friction causes that satellite to burn up

105
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,940
and all of a sudden you've got a satellite down.

106
00:08:58,940 --> 00:09:05,140
When you turn the instrument off, everything goes back to normal and you have plausible deniability

107
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:11,100
on a satellite going down because nobody knows this kind of technology generally exists.

108
00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:16,160
Now the other place you can use it in that same application, imagine that column going

109
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,780
out several hundred miles into space from its normal atmospheric level way down here.

110
00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:27,500
Now you've got an incoming comet or asteroid coming in from outer space, tremendous velocity.

111
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:33,240
Now normally those objects, when they hit our atmosphere, they again encounter tremendous friction,

112
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,720
they burn up and most objects just dissipate before they ever hit the surface.

113
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,880
But big objects, the kinds of objects people are worried about, if you could say go from

114
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,560
thirty miles of atmosphere to two hundred miles of atmosphere, almost seven times as much

115
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:56,800
distance, and project a trajectory downward, what you're able to do in that instance is literally

116
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,240
allow those larger objects to burn up way before they hit the earth.

117
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:07,840
In fact the Strategic Studies Institute in London, in reviewing Soviet research on this very same

118
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:15,360
technology, was suggesting that it could be used for an anti, not an anti-satellite technology

119
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,900
so much as an anti-asteroid or comet based technology.

120
00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:22,680
But all of those things also create a side effect.

121
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:29,240
When you move that much atmosphere up into space, and it's about thirty miles diameter, these columns.

122
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,740
So imagine thirty miles in diameter and a couple hundred miles up, well below that are pressure

123
00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:40,280
systems, high pressure, low pressure systems, and jet streams, all of which can be altered

124
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,120
by the manipulation of the ionosphere in this way.

125
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,840
And that then creates downstream weather effects that cannot be modeled, that cannot accurately

126
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,740
be predicted, and therein lies huge problems.

127
00:10:53,740 --> 00:11:02,840
When you start to manipulate by technology applications to create one effect, you might inadvertently

128
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,280
create a number of other effects, as is the case with HAARP.

129
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:14,280
Looking at sort of where are these facilities, you know here in Alaska we have one at Gokana,

130
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,460
which is about two hundred fifty miles northeast of Anchorage.

131
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:22,960
Then going across Canada, there's a number of these facilities that are controlled by the

132
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,960
Canadian government.

133
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,320
Rosalie Bertel has reported on those.

134
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:34,840
Then there is one that sits right up here in northern Norway, and this is run by the Max

135
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,560
Planck Institute.

136
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:39,760
And then there are five old transmitters in the former Soviet Union.

137
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,580
Literally, when you look, they go around the globe.

138
00:11:43,580 --> 00:11:48,000
These can be used in conjunction with each other, triangulating to hit the same point,

139
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,280
creating unique and different resonance effects, and creating even more power.

140
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:58,360
Flipping the planet upside down, in Antarctica, China put in a facility a couple years ago

141
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,600
to begin working in this technology.

142
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:08,760
And then Aerocibo, Puerto Rico, in the southeastern, off the coast in the southeastern United States,

143
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:15,760
also has a facility that's been retrofitted to essentially do the same thing as HAARP.

144
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:27,760
The ionosphere keters, which are what these were previously called, actually originated in the former Soviet Union.

145
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:33,760
People will remember them from the 1970s when they created what was called the woodpecker signal.

146
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,760
It was exactly as it sounded.

147
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,760
It was this weird static that was rhythmic and coherent, man-made.

148
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:46,760
Ham operators picked it up all over the world, and because they could triangulate where it was coming from,

149
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:52,760
they isolated the location of these five transmitters in Russia, or the former Soviet Union.

150
00:12:52,760 --> 00:13:01,760
And those transmitters were associated with health effects in Oregon, power failures in central Canada,

151
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:06,760
and a number of other anomalous phenomena in the 1970s.

152
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,760
And those were the predecessors of HAARP.

153
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,760
It's the very same technology with a modern twist.

154
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,760
The old transmitters would take 15 minutes to reset the frequency,

155
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,760
because you had to readjust all these antennae.

156
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,760
Now, with HAARP, it's done in milliseconds by adjusting the software.

157
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,760
So, very efficient.

158
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,760
You can change things.

159
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,760
You can cause them to do different things.

160
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,760
It's not a big project in terms of reset.

161
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,760
And it's a small expenditure.

162
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,760
I mean, HAARP they've spent a hundred million dollars on,

163
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,760
which in military terms is like cab fare.

164
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,760
You know, it's like the, it's not even cab fare.

165
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,760
It's the snowflake in the pile of snow out front, you know,

166
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,760
that we walk through in the course of all this.

167
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:58,760
But when you look at the impact of each of these technologies that we've touched on today,

168
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,760
it's not the same game anymore.

169
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,760
These are earth-shaking technologies,

170
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:19,760
the very technologies that will either transform or enslave.

171
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,760
Most science, at least in the U.S., is developed,

172
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,760
most of the high science, anyway,

173
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,760
is developed through military research labs, military contracts,

174
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,760
and some contracts through the National Science Foundation.

175
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:37,760
But all of the military work and much of the work done by the National Science Foundation

176
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,760
and others represent compartmentalization,

177
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,760
separation of the sciences in small bits and pieces.

178
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,760
So basically one side doesn't know what the other is doing.

179
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,760
In fact, the first paper I ever presented at 19 was on the contrasting,

180
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,760
sort of our approach of compartmentalization in our approach to science,

181
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,760
and the Russian approach, the Soviet approach at that time,

182
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,760
which was to use generalists, take people from all disciplines,

183
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,760
integrate them into the same room,

184
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,760
so that you could develop the higher-ordered thinking.

185
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,760
Because then you brought all of these various disciplines,

186
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,760
even when they didn't seem to fit,

187
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,760
you brought them together and they tended to feed off of each other

188
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,760
in a way that built better and more comprehensive science.

189
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,760
In fact, as it relates to electromagnetic exposures,

190
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,760
the science developed in the Soviet Union said,

191
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,760
and they set the regulations, not that they enforced them,

192
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,760
but they at least had them on the books,

193
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,760
they were a thousand times more stringent than the U.S. standards

194
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,760
in the same areas because of that integrated approach.

195
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,760
When you look at the productive capacity of the USSR during the Cold War,

196
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,760
they couldn't produce their way, you know, into an outhouse.

197
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,760
It was a mess.

198
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,760
But what they could do is compete on science.

199
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,760
And the way they competed on science with us,

200
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,760
and were able to not only excel in some areas, surpass us in others,

201
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,760
and stay up with us in most,

202
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,760
was by integrated science, as opposed to compartmentalization.

203
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,760
It's cheaper, it's more efficient, and it yields usually better results.

204
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,760
On the U.S. side, we do the opposite.

205
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,760
We continue that model of compartmentalization to the detriment of really good science,

206
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,760
and at a huge, huge economic cost.

207
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,760
The duplication within that system,

208
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,760
the cost of man-hours within that system,

209
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,760
and the waste that's created in that system.

210
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,760
Now, what does that all mean in the broader context of global science?

211
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,760
You know, the U.S. spends in their regular defense budget

212
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,760
somewhere around $700 billion a year, which is a big number.

213
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,760
You know, we've got a couple wars going on on top of that.

214
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,760
The Chinese spend about $70, $80 billion, is what our intelligence tells us,

215
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,760
at least that's what's publicly released.

216
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,760
When you run inefficient science,

217
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,760
and the Chinese don't run inefficient science,

218
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,760
they steal everything they can that's already been developed,

219
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,760
and then take it from there.

220
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,760
And they do it at rice bowl wages.

221
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,760
You know, they're not paying top-flight scientists

222
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,760
a quarter million, half a million a year in salary and benefits,

223
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,760
and they're not paying Davis-Bacon wage rates to build ships.

224
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,760
They're building them for a bowl of rice.

225
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,760
And what you get in China for $70 billion is what you get in the U.S.

226
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,760
for probably far in excess of what we actually spend,

227
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,760
because you can't measure it in dollars or currencies.

228
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,760
You have to measure it in productive output.

229
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,760
And what the Chinese are doing with their productive output

230
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,760
is making sure that they can move millions of men and women

231
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,760
in their armed services anywhere they want to put them on the planet.

232
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,760
That's what's going on there.

233
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,760
For every ship they build, we think about it.

234
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,760
Because they actually build hardware.

235
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,760
And they build it faster than virtually anyone on the planet.

236
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,760
And it's causing a lot of concern.

237
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,760
Because when you start to think about how does all this play

238
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,760
into the geopolitics of the planet, climate change and energy

239
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,760
and the issues we've been talking about the last couple days,

240
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:02,760
they really do fit together.

241
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,760
You know, China is moving to energy independence.

242
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:12,760
They're building a cold liquids plant every 18 months from start to finish.

243
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,760
They have so many planned online.

244
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,760
Their objective is to be free of the West in terms of contributions

245
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,760
to basic natural resources.

246
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,760
And what are they doing with all the trillions of debt,

247
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,760
U.S. debt, that they're collecting?

248
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,760
What are they doing with all the dollars that they're collecting?

249
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,760
They're going around the world.

250
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,760
They're outbidding Western companies by outbidding us on mining opportunities,

251
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,760
the venture capital opportunities, the rare earths and mineral opportunities

252
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,760
and all those plays all over the world.

253
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,760
They're outbidding everyone.

254
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,760
And why are they doing it?

255
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,760
Why would you want to hold a bunch of U.S. paper right now

256
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,760
that you know is going to be dropping in value?

257
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,760
You're better off buying the commodities.

258
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,760
You know when the market fell apart and copper hit $1.30 a pound,

259
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,760
which was the lowest it had been in years,

260
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,760
the Chinese bought more then than they ever bought in their history

261
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,760
and they bought it all the way up until it blew through the old record price by 10%

262
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,760
while the economy is still in the toilet in the U.S. and Europe

263
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,760
and commodity prices are breaking through the roof.

264
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,760
And all those investments those Chinese made with all those cheap U.S. dollars,

265
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,760
well they still had a little bit of value and we all thought they were nuts for paying 10%,

266
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,760
20% more than the market said those assets were worth.

267
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,760
What a deal they made on all those commodities, not just what was already finished.

268
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,760
And what does it mean just copper alone?

269
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,760
There's eight days worth of copper in warehouses in the world

270
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,760
to fulfill eight days worth of global demand right now today.

271
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,760
That's how underproducing we are in that specific commodity.

272
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:51,760
Zinc, nickel are in similar situations where there's very limited supplies on hand.

273
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,760
Rare earths is even worse and all of those are controlled by China.

274
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,760
When you start to think about earth penetrating tomography as a technology

275
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:06,760
for locating underground mineral resources as an example, oil and gas resources,

276
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,760
some of that technology was tested and it was tested in over 20 states

277
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:17,760
on a number of wells that were drilled by Halliburton back in the 80s and into the 90s.

278
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,760
And what they looked at was using a very simple method of earth penetrating tomography.

279
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:31,760
They were able to look and with absolute 99.9% accuracy, grade and quantity and quality

280
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:38,760
of oil and gas layers through the earth matching up perfectly against actual drill logs

281
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,760
from when they physically drilled those wells using this type of technology.

282
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,760
Now imagine, and remember what we were talking about earlier,

283
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,760
about the public owns energy resources in most instances in Alaska,

284
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,760
and Alaska in all instances are publicly owned.

285
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,760
But if you could with certainty image the underground geologic structures

286
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,760
and know exactly where oil and gas is,

287
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,760
now you no longer have risk associated with the drilling activity,

288
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,760
which is why everyone says, you know, we ought not to be in the energy business.

289
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:14,760
But when you can define where those deposits are, then you can maximize or optimize what you get on the lease,

290
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,760
because now everyone has good information, people want to bid on that lease competitively,

291
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,760
you're going to optimize the public's return on those resources.

292
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,760
So using our technology for doing some things maybe makes a lot of sense,

293
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,760
but there's lots of ways to do earth penetrating tomography

294
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,760
and identify those mineral resources, oil and gas resources.

295
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,760
HARP is one of those technologies that perhaps we could use in this way.

296
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,760
When Skylab launched the first time, we realized that back in the 70s,

297
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,760
we realized that it created a hole in the ozone layer.

298
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,760
And everybody watched it, you know, and they said,

299
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,760
oh, after a few hours it all filled in and everything went back to normal.

300
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,760
But think about this now. I mean, think about it as a practical matter.

301
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,760
The earth is turning, you make a hole, everything's moving,

302
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,760
eventually it gets filled in, or it appears to get filled in.

303
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,760
Maybe it did, maybe it didn't.

304
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:18,760
Think about if I dip a cup of water out of a pond, you know,

305
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,760
and all the water levels back out, did it fill back up?

306
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,760
Well, if I keep dipping those cups of water out of that pond,

307
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,760
eventually there is no pond.

308
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,760
But it sure looks flat and level when just a couple dipped out.

309
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,760
So what was it? You know, Skylab creates an ozone hole.

310
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,760
How many billions of cans of aerosol would have had to get up there?

311
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,760
And it didn't start down here, you know.

312
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,760
It started up there where you actually delivered particulate material

313
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,760
to the place that you're trying to affect and created a chemical reaction.

314
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,760
3,000 satellite and rocket launches, over 3,000 worldwide,

315
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,760
did more for the ozone depletion on the planet, I assure you,

316
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,760
than all the air spray that everybody ever discharged.

317
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,760
And again, nobody takes any responsibility.

318
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,760
Blame it on the guy with the aerosol can while governments stand back and go,

319
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,760
we didn't do anything here.

320
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,760
This is the problem and the arrogance of it all.

321
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:21,760
And often it's the case where the other guy is blamed for something that our own government has done.

322
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:27,760
In fact, if you look at environmental issues generally, you know, virtually all the Superfund sites,

323
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:33,760
90% of them, are government sites where the government made the mess.

324
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,760
And then the rest of us get to clean it up.

325
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,760
Now we're experimenting with science that's much, much different than leaving a mess

326
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,760
in some local location on the ground.

327
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,760
We're manipulating the entire geophysical systems of the planet

328
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,760
and trying to learn how to do it better,

329
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,760
how to dial it up a little more efficiently,

330
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,760
how to control those outcomes with a more precision

331
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,760
and a more higher resolution as our science advances.

332
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:12,760
We've written the book, Controlling the Human Mind,

333
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:19,760
and we wrote and produced the video, Mind Control, which Alex has carried for years.

334
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,760
And I always consider that the most important work.

335
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,760
Even when you associate some of the mind effects, things with HARP,

336
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,760
they're big and they're important.

337
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,760
But as we got more into that subject, it became, for me,

338
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,760
the most compelling and important work that we've published.

339
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,760
Because the idea of interfering with human consciousness,

340
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:44,760
this idea of being able to interfere with free will, if you will,

341
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,760
something that even God will not do in most religious traditions,

342
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,760
interfere with free will, is now within the capability of man.

343
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,760
Should man do it? I say absolutely not.

344
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,760
Again, thinking about personal liberty and personal freedom,

345
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,760
the basic premise of the First Amendment of the Constitution,

346
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,760
the right of free speech, the right of assembly,

347
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,760
the right of free expression of religion,

348
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,760
all of those presuppose a fundamental right, the freedom to think.

349
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,760
That's the First Amendment because it presupposes all of that.

350
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,760
Without the freedom to think, none of the other liberties matter at all.

351
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,760
And this is the century that we're in.

352
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,760
The CIA, actually the work in this goes before the CIA.

353
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,760
You go back to the work at Harvard,

354
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,760
work being done at the hypnotherapy labs at Harvard in the 1920s

355
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,760
by a guy named Estabrook.

356
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,760
And Estabrook had this idea that you could create what we would call today

357
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,760
the Manchurian candidate, you know, some super spy that would be pre-programmed

358
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,760
to do destruction or gather intelligence.

359
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,760
And if captured, would have absolutely no knowledge of any of it.

360
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,760
Well, he started this work in the 20s.

361
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,760
By the 1930s, his work was classified.

362
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,760
By the 1960s, the material he had published,

363
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,760
he acknowledged that he created these super spies,

364
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,760
that he spent nine to ten months,

365
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,760
and one out of five people were subject to this level of programming,

366
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,760
where he would subject them to nine to ten months of programming,

367
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,760
where he literally split the personality into two separate human beings

368
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,760
within the same body, programming one to be the super spy,

369
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,760
where they could function in another country without detection,

370
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760
and if captured, would have no memory of their true self.

371
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,760
And yet, when they returned to the United States,

372
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,760
this altered consciousness could be re-triggered to remember

373
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,760
everything they collected in the foreign country and their true self.

374
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,760
The problem is, you can't put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

375
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,760
Once you fracture a human being in this way,

376
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,760
you've effectively destroyed them forever.

377
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,760
He believed this was a good idea, and he advanced this technology.

378
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,760
And the same material that he published advancing the idea

379
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:06,760
that using LSD to alter people's consciousness for mind control experiments

380
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,760
was legitimized and reasonable and a good thing.

381
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,760
That's what he wrote in his published work.

382
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,760
At the same time, the Central Intelligence Agency later was revealed to be experimenting

383
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,760
with LSD on 8,000 men and women in the armed services alone,

384
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,760
not to mention the civilian sector.

385
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:31,760
This came out in a congressional report that was on activities within the CIA right after Watergate.

386
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,760
When, remember Watergate, you know, there's an ex-CIA operator

387
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,760
who's breaking into this building for the bag men of the Nixon administration.

388
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,760
Well, there are no ex-CIA guys, number one, unless they're dead.

389
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,760
And number two, the fact is when they got caught,

390
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,760
what they got caught doing were mind control experiments.

391
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,760
The church committees and the Congress actually heard the testimony

392
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,760
as the CIA busied themselves shredding the documents

393
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,760
because they acknowledged over 140 programs under MKUltra and its sub-programs

394
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,760
that were directly involved in the manipulation of human behavior

395
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,760
using chemical means and electromagnetic means.

396
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,760
And one of the organizations they worked through at the time

397
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,760
was the Mankind Research Association operated out of Bethesda, Maryland,

398
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,760
which was a front for Navy intelligence organizations

399
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,760
and the Central Intelligence Organization developing mind control technologies

400
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,760
and an understanding of what those would be about.

401
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,760
More than a Manchurian candidate manipulating people over huge geographic areas

402
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,760
for very specific outcomes.

403
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,760
At the same time, they were engaged in a great deal of research

404
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:50,760
on what they called paraphysics or parapsychology or ESP in those days.

405
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:56,760
A number of those reports prepared as far as our analysis of Eastern Europe

406
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,760
that were eventually released under Freedom of Information Act

407
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,760
are posted on our website.

408
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,760
And you can go and look there and you'll see hundreds of pages

409
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,760
of these declassified documents.

410
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,760
They're heavily red-added. I mean, lots blacked out.

411
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,760
But you get a general sense of what we were doing.

412
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,760
And here's what they discovered.

413
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,760
And it's not in the published work. It's not in the other videos.

414
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,760
It's not in that material.

415
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,760
But here's the conclusions after all of it.

416
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,760
And I met the Northwest field director.

417
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,760
I got to know him real well over the years of the Mankind Research Association,

418
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,760
the kind of stuff they were doing back in the 70s.

419
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:36,760
And he kept his data. He's got a great box of data talking about all of these experimentations.

420
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:42,760
And what they concluded was that, A, extrasensory perceptions,

421
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,760
these odd little things that people could do, were real.

422
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:52,760
Not in all instances, but in enough instances to cause them some alarm, military planners.

423
00:29:52,760 --> 00:30:00,760
Because what also they discovered is that human beings generally have these innate capabilities

424
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,760
that we used to call extrasensory perception.

425
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,760
Some have referred to as gifts of the spirit.

426
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,760
They come by a lot of different names.

427
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,760
But what they are is natural attributes of what human beings are.

428
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,760
We're created in the image of a creator.

429
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,760
That means more than how we look.

430
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,760
It has to do with what we are.

431
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,760
And what we are are very capable individuals.

432
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,760
But in order to reach those higher capabilities,

433
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,760
in order to reach those higher states of awareness,

434
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,760
in order to actualize your full potential as a human being,

435
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,760
you have to be able to slow the mind.

436
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,760
You have to be able to create a situation where the mind,

437
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,760
and if you were to look at it with an EEG and look at the brain activity,

438
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,760
you get very coherent, very rhythmic patterns.

439
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,760
The kind associated with the emotions of love and empathy and compassion.

440
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,760
The same kind of patterns show up.

441
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,760
Higher ordered thinking is associated with these coherent patterns,

442
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,760
these rhythmic patterns.

443
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,760
Fear, flight responses, anger, hate.

444
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,760
You get incoherent patterns all over the map at a higher amplitude,

445
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,760
at a higher pulse rate.

446
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,760
That indicate agitation, confusion, the inability to think.

447
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,760
What we do know is that in states of fear, worry and anxiety,

448
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:26,760
you cannot, you cannot ever reach your higher capacity as a human being.

449
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,760
So the easiest mind control technique,

450
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,760
keep people in a state of fear and worry and agitation,

451
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,760
and we're defeated before the first volley is fired.

452
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,760
That's not what we need to be about.

453
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,760
You know, when you think about it, when you're walking confidently,

454
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,760
consciously doing what you know you're capable of doing,

455
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,760
how empowering it is to step into each act that you take on as a human being,

456
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:59,760
in a productive and meaningful way, without fear, without worry.

457
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,760
It's when your mind falls into what some call that zone that the athlete knows,

458
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,760
and the artist knows, and every one of us knows,

459
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,760
in those instances where those sparks of creativity come through.

460
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,760
That is our normal state of consciousness.

461
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,760
If you were to look at it, in the lower range of the alpha range,

462
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,760
where you are in that most creative mindset,

463
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,760
you'd be between 7 and 8, 7 and 9 hertz, pulses per second.

464
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:32,760
The planet naturally oscillates at 7.83 hertz, pulses per second.

465
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,760
Isn't that interesting?

466
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:41,760
Correlates perfectly with the ideal state for awake, conscious living, when you're awake.

467
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,760
And yet, the fields that we surround ourselves with in this room right now,

468
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:52,760
in every room where everyone's watching this because the power grid is operating at 60 hertz,

469
00:32:52,760 --> 00:33:00,760
60 pulses per second, an agitating signal all the time in our background noise, if you will, our noise.

470
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,760
Because, think about it, in a crowded room, all the noise you hear,

471
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,760
and you're having a conversation with your friend,

472
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,760
and you block out all that background noise.

473
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,760
We do the same thing with electromagnetic fields.

474
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,760
I'll tell you when you notice it.

475
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,760
I couldn't use this analogy in Germany.

476
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,760
I'll tell you why in a minute.

477
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,760
But think about when the power fails in your community,

478
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,760
when the power goes out, completely goes out, the power grid's down.

479
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,760
Now everybody remembers it, given all the winter storm activity.

480
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,760
And the first thing you notice is how quiet it is, because the refrigerator's not humming along,

481
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,760
the air conditioner or the heaters aren't blowing air around.

482
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:45,760
The second thing you notice is how your whole body exhales as you relax.

483
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,760
Same feeling when you come in from a hard day at work,

484
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,760
and you're wearing your insulated soles on your shoes,

485
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,760
and the first thing you do is you kick them off,

486
00:33:54,760 --> 00:34:00,760
and you come back into ground with the pulse rate of the planet, and you relax.

487
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,760
That relaxation is the silence.

488
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,760
Do you know what the sound of being born into an explosion is?

489
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,760
Silence.

490
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,760
We're living in that explosion,

491
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,760
in the fields that surround us every moment of every day.

492
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,760
When I use that analogy this last year in Stuttgart,

493
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,760
everybody looked at me like I was crazy when I said,

494
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,760
you know when the power fails.

495
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,760
It never fails in Germany.

496
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:32,760
People with gray hair never remember a power failure since World War II ended.

497
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,760
You know?

498
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,760
I mean, we don't even think about that.

499
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,760
I mean, you talk about the contrast in technology,

500
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,760
I can't even use the same analogy in Europe,

501
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,760
because it doesn't make sense,

502
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,760
because our technology happens to run smoother.

503
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,760
And we invented the power grid for all practical purposes.

504
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,760
But again, you know, I say it humorously,

505
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,760
but at the same time recognizing under all this,

506
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,760
are these very real effects that we have to recognize.

507
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,760
So how do you learn how to control you?

508
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,760
You know, people ask me all the time,

509
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,760
you know, you talk about a lot of technologies generate a lot of concern,

510
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,760
some levels of anxiety.

511
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,760
That's not my intention.

512
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,760
My intention is to inform so we can begin to think about this stuff

513
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,760
in a productive, constructive way and how we address it.

514
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,760
But more importantly, the more important part of this message,

515
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,760
and anything that I've said in the last couple of days,

516
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:26,760
is about the fact that we are more than we think we are.

517
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,760
There are no small things, there's only things that are undone.

518
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,760
Each thing that we do as individuals matters.

519
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,760
It matters a lot, more than you might even realize or recognize.

520
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,760
And there are no small things.

521
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,760
And what I do versus what you do, it's not a size issue.

522
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,760
It's getting the work done.

523
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,760
All of us have a sphere of influence,

524
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,760
and we need to assert ourselves in that sphere of influence.

525
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,760
What that means is it might mean that we have a conversation

526
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,760
with our family or our close friends.

527
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,760
We don't feel any anxiety having done that.

528
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,760
When the anxiety creeps in, back off.

529
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,760
Think about what you're doing.

530
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,760
It should be like breathing if you're working outside of fear

531
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:09,760
and outside of worry.

532
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,760
And you're working in a way that is possible,

533
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,760
where you acknowledge it's possible.

534
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,760
Do what you know you can do to further your version

535
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,760
and your view of the truth.

536
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,760
And do it in a respectful way.

537
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,760
And do it with confidence.

538
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,760
And don't lift the burden if it's too heavy.

539
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,760
There's someone else that will lift it for you.

540
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,760
Or lift it with you.

541
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,760
But do something in favor of what you believe to be right and true,

542
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,760
whether it's on any of the issues we've covered today

543
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,760
or on some other issue.

544
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,760
But something that you care about and recognize

545
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,760
there's a billion other people doing the same thing.

546
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,760
And we're not waiting for an organization to form.

547
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,760
We're already standing in it.

548
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,760
It's called the human race.

549
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,760
Participate in it.

550
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,760
Be what you were created to be.

551
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,760
And assert yourself in the world today by effecting change,

552
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,760
by direct action in a respectful and rational way.

553
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,760
And without fear and without worry.

554
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,760
Because that is the zone in which things can happen.

555
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:03,760
Fear is the adversary.

556
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,760
It has always been the adversary.

557
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,760
And it's the easiest method of controlling human behavior.

558
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,760
When you think of the whole 1984 scenarios,

559
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,760
which I think are here now,

560
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,760
I mean certainly are here now on steroids.

561
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,760
I mean those guys are rolling over in their grave

562
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,760
because it's a lot worse than they thought.

563
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,760
Huxley, you know, he wrote Brave New World.

564
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,760
And the essay most people missed of his

565
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,760
was one of the very last ones he wrote,

566
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,760
which was Brave New World Revisited.

567
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,760
When he went back and sort of looked at it and said,

568
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:44,760
oh no, it's 40 years ahead of where I thought it was.

569
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,760
Now this is in the late 1950s.

570
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,760
And I think he died in 62 or 63.

571
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,760
So the very end of his life.

572
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,760
And the things that are the most important to read

573
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,760
aren't what somebody wrote earlier in their career.

574
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,760
It's what they wrote at the end.

575
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,760
Sort of how they evaluate.

576
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,760
You know, when I look at studying someone's work,

577
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,760
I start with the last thing they wrote

578
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,760
and work my way backwards.

579
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,760
Because there's the pinnacle of their knowledge.

580
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,760
And Huxley's pinnacle of the knowledge was the last warning,

581
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,760
the last shout in the movie theater saying,

582
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,760
hey, it's 40 years ahead of the game

583
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,760
and it probably isn't going to be chemistry that does it.

584
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:22,760
It's going to be something else.

585
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,760
And it's the electronics of this century.

586
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,760
It's the tools that we've been talking about

587
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,760
misapplied to the population.

588
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,760
Those are the things that are causing Huxley today

589
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,760
to roll over in his grave

590
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,760
because even that warning was 40 years too old.

591
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,760
I mean, that warning in the late 50s

592
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,760
and his conclusion then was nothing

593
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,760
compared to what has emerged in the 21st century

594
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,760
and what came out of the last century.

595
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,760
This technology to change not just our emotional states

596
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,760
but the way we perceive the world

597
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,760
is already exists on the planet.

598
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,760
New breakthroughs are being anticipated by military planners.

599
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,760
This last year, 2010, DARPA let two contracts

600
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,760
at the University of California

601
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:10,760
for developing methods and means

602
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,760
for creating electronic telepathy

603
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,760
where we can electronically transfer thoughts

604
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,760
into the mind of another person

605
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,760
in a way that they cannot distinguish

606
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,760
the artificial from their own.

607
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,760
Now think about that in the 21st century.

608
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,760
If you can create a complete memory set,

609
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,760
one of the stated goals of Air Force planners,

610
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,760
to complete a complete memory set

611
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,760
that you cannot distinguish the real from the fiction.

612
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,760
Is that the witness you want on your trial

613
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,760
in the courts of the 21st century?

614
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,760
The guy who can swear by that memory

615
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,760
and yet that memory is as false as a $3 bill?

616
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,760
That's the technology of this century.

617
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,760
It will challenge the very institutions that we depend on

618
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:00,760
for justice, for liberty, for freedom, synthetic memory.

619
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,760
It's being even played off in terms of Gulf War Syndrome

620
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,760
and in terms of the shock that people come out of the war with.

621
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,760
You know, the shock, the fear, the memories,

622
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,760
the post-traumatic stress syndrome that boils out of these war efforts.

623
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,760
And so what are we hearing about?

624
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,760
Ways to wipe the memory clean so people can forget all those bad experiences.

625
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,760
Do they really go away?

626
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,760
Or do they just get driven deeper into the subconscious

627
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:32,760
where they do their real work at breaking down the consciousness of a human being?

628
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,760
Where they can't get played out, they can't get worked out, they get suppressed.

629
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:43,760
And suppressed conflicting ideas are the root to a lot of the psychosis we see in the world today.

630
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,760
This is the solution of military planners.

631
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:51,760
Wipe out the memory of the gladiator so they don't know what they did.

632
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,760
And somehow that will excuse the behavior and save that person's soul.

633
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,760
No, it won't.

634
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,760
It will mask the pain and let it break out in some weird irrational way

635
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,760
because that's what happens when you suppress these kinds of memories.

636
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,760
Secondly, maybe we want these guys to remember what they did

637
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,760
because maybe some of the things that they were directed to do

638
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,760
they shouldn't have done in the first place.

639
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,760
Maybe the memories that they have of the abuses that we inflict on others

640
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,760
are memories that somebody ought to be testifying to someday

641
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:30,760
instead of bearing because now we have a technology that can mask the behavior of our troops in combat.

642
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,760
That's not the answer.

643
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:37,760
In the past wars, the wars that our fathers fought and our grandfathers fought,

644
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:43,760
when they returned from battle, the stench of death was still in their noses

645
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,760
and they worked hard to avoid wars in future wars

646
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,760
to save the next generation from experiencing the same trauma they did.

647
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:57,760
Trauma is the outcome of war, but it also makes us as human beings resist war,

648
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,760
make it our last effort, not our first effort.

649
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,760
If we take it out, we make it neutral where there's no pain,

650
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,760
there's no residual memory.

651
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,760
It becomes easier and easier to inflict war on others.

652
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:16,760
It becomes easier and easier to use that as the solution rather than diplomacy and fair play.

653
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,760
Is that what we want?

654
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:26,760
Is that the reflection of American values we want our military paranoid closet planners to engage in for us?

655
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,760
Or do we want them to uphold the values,

656
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:34,760
instill those values on the next generation of military planners

657
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:41,760
so that American values are what's projected to the world by our example, not by our hidden agenda?

658
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:54,760
What is the impact of Alaska?

659
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,760
You know, thinking about Alaska strategically, and most Americans don't,

660
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:04,760
but let's talk about Alaska just for a minute and how this feeds in to what's happening around the world.

661
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:09,760
Firstly, Alaska's 18% of all the land in the United States.

662
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,760
It has a greater coastline, Alaska alone.

663
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,760
If you take all the western states, all the west coast, all the east coast, and all the gulf coast,

664
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,760
and you add it all up, Alaska's coastline is bigger.

665
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:28,760
And we have a 200 mile federal limit in those coastal waters, which is significant.

666
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,760
Now, let's look at where Alaska sits on the map.

667
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,760
Here's Alaska. Place Alaska just for a moment as if it were the top of the world.

668
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,760
And then look at where it sits.

669
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,760
North America. Here's L.A.

670
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,760
The same distance to L.A. I hit Japan.

671
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:51,760
The same distance I hit Northern Europe.

672
00:43:51,760 --> 00:44:01,760
Same distance as for me as Alaskan to fly to Tokyo, to L.A., or to Oslo.

673
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,760
I can get there in virtually the same amount of time from Alaska.

674
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:12,760
Which is why Federal Express located their international hub in Anchorage, Alaska,

675
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:17,760
and UPS put their international hub in Fairbanks, Alaska.

676
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,760
Because they could serve Asia, Europe, and the United States

677
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,760
with the shortest distance between points, hubbing out of Alaska.

678
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:32,760
Now, if you think about it, the Aleutian chain, which actually, you can't see it so easily on this,

679
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,760
but it comes down right to here, and here's Japan.

680
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,760
Okay? So Alaska to Japan is this distance.

681
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,760
Alaska, I don't even hit Seattle.

682
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,760
I can't get to the next state, but I can get to Japan.

683
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:54,760
Now, think about it. Raw materials coming out of Alaska feeding the Pacific Rim.

684
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,760
The best markets are to feed the Asian markets.

685
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,760
Now, there's no railroad links, as I mentioned yesterday.

686
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,760
We can't get from Alaska into the Midwest.

687
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:07,760
If we could link approximately right here at Prince Rupert,

688
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,760
if we could link at Prince Rupert to the railroad system in Canada,

689
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:16,760
we could then move Alaskan commodities all the way into the Midwest, the industrial belt,

690
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:21,760
and be able to use those mineral commodities to do value-added and re-industrialize the nation.

691
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:29,760
One quarter of all the oil and gas left undiscovered in the world exists right here in the Arctic Circle.

692
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,760
That's the estimate.

693
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,760
Alaska has hundreds of trillions, trillions of cubic feet of natural gas.

694
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:42,760
Now, think about the north slope of Alaska, which is right here where our oil and gas is.

695
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,760
Now, think about us moving oil and gas through an empty Arctic.

696
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:57,760
The Arctic Sea is almost to the point where we can start to move freight from Europe to North America across the Pole.

697
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,760
Think about it.

698
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:00,760
Think about it.

699
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:10,760
Instead of bringing freight from Europe to the United States, this distance, a third of the way around the world,

700
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:17,760
we can shorten that distance to a quarter of its distance and move freight directly into Northern Europe

701
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,760
and into their rail systems connecting into their commodity flow or into Russia and Asia,

702
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:28,760
jumping over the poles with our freight, not just in the air but in the sea.

703
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:33,760
This will change everything and puts Alaska in the most strategic place

704
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:37,760
because commodities are equal in price no matter where they're produced.

705
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,760
The differences then become how cheap is it to get it to the next point.

706
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:49,760
So, we need rail to get it into the Midwest of the United States where then it has the opportunity of being exported off of our western ports

707
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:56,760
or through the St. Lawrence Seaway or off of our eastern ports or we have the option in the not-too-distant future

708
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:02,760
of shipping direct into these markets raw goods or adding value here in Alaska.

709
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,760
Alaska has the greatest energy resources.

710
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,760
All these minerals require energy for value added and we have the opportunity to do that now.

711
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:15,760
Now, what would that mean if we began to move these commodities and these energy resources in the United States?

712
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:22,760
Half of our trade deficit is energy related and the other is buying value added products back from China.

713
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:31,760
If we could eliminate 50% of our trade deficits by eliminating imported energy, we strengthen the dollar again.

714
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:41,760
We reinvigorate our economy again. We now have a domestic supply of energy and we keep our money rolling in our own economies.

715
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,760
The same is true with value added to our commodities.

716
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:50,760
We have an opportunity to take a big chunk of our economy back from the rest of the world,

717
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,760
embed it back into our nation and use the advantage that we have.

718
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,760
Alaska is the stepchild.

719
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:06,760
Recognize our state. Recognize this place as an incredible opportunity for Americans to be liberated by looking at the balance sheet.

720
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:07,760
Think about it.

721
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:15,760
We always talk about the profit and loss statement, the income and expenses of the nation when we talk about the debt and how we're going to fix it.

722
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,760
It's always about the taxpayer and putting it on our backs.

723
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:28,760
The balance sheet are the assets of the nation, which includes our energy resources, our mineral wealth, our force, our public lands.

724
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:36,760
How do we make them pay in a way that offsets the treasury demands against the taxpayer?

725
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:43,760
Get full value for our commodities. Make sure those multinationals pay money here.

726
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,760
Because here's what happens, and we play it out in Alaska every year.

727
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:52,760
Here we have oil and gas that the nation needs, and we have a pipeline that can run it down to Valdez,

728
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:57,760
and the pipeline is running at 616,000 barrels a day to day.

729
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,760
It's designed to handle 2.1 million barrels.

730
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:11,760
Why aren't we moving U.S. oil through a U.S. pipeline is because it's cheaper to corrupt a third world government somewhere else on the planet,

731
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:19,760
keep the oil and gas in the ground in the U.S., because a multinational doesn't have any care about our national needs or our national priorities.

732
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,760
It's about the bottom line.

733
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:28,760
If it were a national oil company that cared first about the national priorities, then that oil and gas would be developed,

734
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:37,760
be feeding U.S. markets, even if it cost a little more, because the offset is U.S. jobs, U.S. taxes generated,

735
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:43,760
U.S. rollover in our economy of every one of those dollars spent domestically seven times,

736
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:48,760
a seven times multiplier in the economy and the tax base when we spend money at home.

737
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:55,760
That's the difference. Bring it back because it's a domestic priority, not a multinational priority.

738
00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:04,760
Our domestic priorities need to carry forward, or these companies that are retaining these rights need to be put under performance.

739
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,760
You know, these leases on the North Slope don't require any performance.

740
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:14,760
They hold them, they hold them, they pay the fee, they don't have to ever produce them.

741
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,760
In Russia, if you didn't produce, you lost your right.

742
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,760
Later they took them anyway, but at least they had the incentive,

743
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,760
you're going to spend the money, you're going to produce these fields, or you're out of here.

744
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,760
So they did. In the U.S., we don't make them produce anything.

745
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:35,760
We just give them the right to tie up the public resource, call it their safety deposit box in our safe economy,

746
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:44,760
because our men and women are defending this turf, to defend them, to save their bacon.

747
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,760
After we're done trying to save it from whatever third world country they've corrupted,

748
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,760
they always can come back home and produce it domestically.

749
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:58,760
And by then, they've screwed us down so much on the royalties and taxes under the guise of,

750
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,760
well, if it's not cheap enough, we'll do it elsewhere.

751
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,760
We understand all that. We know how economics works. We know how capitalism works.

752
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:11,760
But we also understand how our national interests work, and multinational companies don't,

753
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:16,760
because they don't care. It's not in their self-interest to care.

754
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,760
They're looking at the six billion other consumers that don't live here,

755
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,760
who are their potential future markets, because this economy, from their perspective,

756
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,760
doesn't have those opportunities. It's dead.

757
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,760
They want to go where people are changing from bicycles to automobiles,

758
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,760
and that's the rest of the world.

759
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,760
People have asked me, you know, about my father.

760
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,760
He was lost on a plane with Hale Boggs in the early 70s.

761
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,760
Hale was a majority leader at the time.

762
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,760
I mean, you can look at all of the interesting coincidences.

763
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,760
You know, the guy that took Hale Boggs to the airport,

764
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,760
he was working in Texas at the time for another campaign,

765
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,760
and Boggs got a ride to the airport by a young Democrat from Oklahoma,

766
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:13,760
William Jefferson Clinton.

767
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:15,760
Yeah, the same one that later became president.

768
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,760
Now, this is 1972.

769
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,760
Boggs gets on the plane.

770
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,760
He goes to D.C., makes a connection to Alaska, comes to Alaska, gives a speech,

771
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,760
breaks the story a little bit about what was coming.

772
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,760
It wasn't known as Watergate then.

773
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,760
It was just this big scandal that he mentioned.

774
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,760
And the next day, he gets on a plane flying to Juneau from Anchorage

775
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,760
and disappears, never heard from again, with my father.

776
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,760
Now, Boggs was on the Warren Commission.

777
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:41,760
He wanted the Warren Commission reopened.

778
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,760
It was saying so around that time.

779
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,760
Six months before, he had called for the resignation of Hoover,

780
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,760
who he believed absolutely corrupt.

781
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,760
Because of his own perversions, Hoover's,

782
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,760
he used knowledge to blackmail the Congress.

783
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,760
He had the inside track on every congressman

784
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:02,760
because he had tapped their phones, intercepted their mail,

785
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,760
basically violated all their personal privacy rights.

786
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,760
And this was the leadership of the country, for goodness sakes.

787
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,760
This is our entire Congress that he corrupted,

788
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,760
so that he could maintain his position in the FBI.

789
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,760
Boggs wanted him out.

790
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,760
Boggs came to Alaska.

791
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,760
By then, Hoover was gone.

792
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,760
But the plane disappears.

793
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,760
The Hoover administration continues.

794
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:27,760
The Warren Commission never reopens.

795
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:30,760
And Watergate breaks three weeks later.

796
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,760
October 16, 1972, the plane goes down.

797
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:38,760
You know, McGovern's in his last throes of his death race

798
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,760
because he isn't winning anything.

799
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,760
Richard Nixon's the clear winner.

800
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,760
Everybody knows it.

801
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,760
Hale Boggs is a majority leader of the House,

802
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,760
standing in line to be the next speaker,

803
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,760
the third most powerful position in the Congress.

804
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,760
And what happens?

805
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,760
He disappears at the most critical time in our history.

806
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,760
In fact, if you remember, what happened right after?

807
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:03,760
Watergate broke, and then Agnew got bounced,

808
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,760
you know, as the Vice President.

809
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,760
Ford slid in behind him.

810
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:10,760
Nixon resigns.

811
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:11,760
Ford moves up.

812
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,760
Ford pardons Nixon,

813
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,760
and Rockefeller rolls in as the Vice President.

814
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:18,760
And then, if you remember, it was,

815
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,760
I think it was Squeaky Fromm.

816
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:21,760
Wasn't it Squeaky Fromm?

817
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,760
It was one of the Manson girls

818
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,760
that takes a pot shot at Ford to knock him off

819
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,760
because she wanted him dead,

820
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,760
and who would have been President?

821
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:31,760
Rockefeller.

822
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,760
Now, isn't that interesting?

823
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,760
You know, I mean, talk about conspiracy theory.

824
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,760
How about conspiracy reality?

825
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,760
That's how it played out.

826
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,760
Everybody's forgotten it.

827
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,760
You know, if you're not 50, you don't remember.

828
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,760
You know, but a lot of us remember

829
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,760
when all this happened, and it played out.

830
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,760
Now, Boggs is off the scene.

831
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,760
Carl Elbert is the Speaker.

832
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,760
Carl was an alcoholic.

833
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,760
I mean, he used to come to my house all the time,

834
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:57,760
talked to my dad.

835
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,760
The guy could barely sit on a bar stool,

836
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:00,760
and he was Speaker of the House.

837
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:01,760
You know, those were the days

838
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,760
when you got stopped by the police for drunk driving,

839
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:04,760
and they said,

840
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,760
hey, drive on home and sleep it off.

841
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,760
You know, it was a different world in a different era.

842
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,760
But Carl Elbert was not in a position at that time

843
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,760
to step into the presence of the United States.

844
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,760
What I think would have happened had Boggs lived.

845
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,760
Carl Elbert would have stepped down.

846
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:23,760
Boggs would have stepped up.

847
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,760
They would have got rid of Agnew and Nixon at the same time,

848
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,760
and the third in line to be President would have been,

849
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:29,760
and that would have been Hale Boggs,

850
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,760
and the whole game would have changed in this country.

851
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,760
And personal freedom and liberty would have been restored then,

852
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,760
instead of going into disrepair even further now.

853
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,760
Now, Dad brought Boggs to Alaska to campaign.

854
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,760
Dad had that campaign in the bag.

855
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:47,760
He brought him here to show him,

856
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:48,760
to talk about the same issues,

857
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,760
many of the same issues that we've talked about over this video.

858
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,760
The idea that Alaska has this tremendous potential

859
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,760
for the United States that ought to be realized.

860
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,760
This was right before the native land claims,

861
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:02,760
the biggest settlement in indigenous history

862
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:03,760
in the United States.

863
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,760
As a freshman congressman,

864
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:10,760
my dad got passed a 44 million acre land transfer

865
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,760
to indigenous people intact with mineral rights,

866
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,760
oil and gas rights, energy rights,

867
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,760
timber, surface estate, water rights, everything intact.

868
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:23,760
And they moved that over along with just under a billion dollars in 1971,

869
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:28,760
the first year he was a member of Congress as a freshman.

870
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,760
Now, people say freshmen can't get anything done.

871
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,760
I know personally they're wrong.

872
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,760
My brother Mark is a freshman senator, two years in the job.

873
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:41,760
He's the fifth-ranking Democrat in the U.S. Senate

874
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,760
and the only member of the U.S. Senate without a college degree.

875
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,760
He did it in two years because he knows how to work hard,

876
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,760
stand for something and do something.

877
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,760
Now, Mark and I don't agree on everything, as brothers never do.

878
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:58,760
But I can tell you this, he's as committed to public service as I am.

879
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:00,760
We have a different way of expressing it.

880
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:06,760
But his risk at getting something done is as great or greater as they've ever been.

881
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,760
You know, when you think about congressional deaths,

882
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:09,760
you know, you think about my dad's.

883
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:15,760
What happened is they found out in 1993 through FOIA requests

884
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:21,760
that the military actually knew that my father or somebody at that crash site was alive.

885
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,760
Two people were alive according to the FBI records that eventually got released.

886
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,760
Two people were alive at a crash site that has never been found.

887
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,760
The crash site has never been publicly identified,

888
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:38,760
nor has the people who were alive at that site lost in the shuffle of bureaucracy.

889
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:44,760
The documents we saw that roll call, prestigious publication in D.C.,

890
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,760
got under a FOIA request, Freedom of Information Act request.

891
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,760
All the key names were redatted.

892
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,760
When we went after the data from the military, the Air Force overflights,

893
00:57:55,760 --> 00:58:01,760
the data that was developed for the biggest air and sea search in the history of the world,

894
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,760
and all the records they told us were destroyed.

895
00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:07,760
A few months later, because we raised a lot of heck over that,

896
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,760
a few months later, mysteriously on my brother's doorstep,

897
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:17,760
a pile of boxes with all those original documents, not redatted.

898
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,760
Gee, they hadn't been destroyed at all.

899
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,760
We'd been lied to again.

900
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,760
I want to tell you, as the son of a United States Congressman,

901
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:30,760
that if it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone.

902
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:35,760
That's why we need to get into this fight and engage our government.

903
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:42,760
It shouldn't happen to anyone that our risk to our personal freedom to our life should be at risk,

904
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:47,760
as people give up their private life in order to carry on everyone else's.

905
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:52,760
In the case of Wellstone, many remember his plane crash in Eveleth, Minnesota.

906
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,760
It just happened to be the same town my dad was born in.

907
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,760
My uncle was a mayor there, was a state legislature there.

908
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,760
Coincidence? Kind of interesting.

909
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,760
Do you remember Carnahan, the senator before him that died in Missouri?

910
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:11,760
That was the anniversary date of my dad's disappearance, October 16th.

911
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,760
You know, is it coincidence?

912
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:21,760
Maybe so, but it certainly begs the question, you know, I mean, how many people die in plane crashes?

913
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:25,760
My brother beats Ted Stevens in an election.

914
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:30,760
Ted Stevens dies in a plane crash a couple years later.

915
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:34,760
What people don't remember is he was already in a plane crash before,

916
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,760
where his first wife was killed, died in a plane crash.

917
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:38,760
People forget about it.

918
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,760
Mike Gravel's wife died in a plane crash.

919
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:42,760
People forget about it.

920
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:48,760
You know, people forget about all of this, and yet it keeps happening.

921
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,760
And people say, well, you know, politicians fly a lot.

922
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,760
You know, they have plane crashes a little disproportionate to the rest of the population.

923
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:56,760
How about business travelers?

924
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,760
You want to talk about people flying a lot?

925
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:05,760
It seems to be one of the hazards of the job that congressmen and senators seem to die in plane crashes

926
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:10,760
when they're about to make some of the biggest changes that the country needs.

927
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:15,760
So, having said it, there's always risk involved, I suppose, in public service.

928
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:19,760
But the question has become is, what risks are we taking as citizens?

929
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,760
And what risks should we take?

930
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,760
I mean, at least we should have our voices heard.

931
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,760
At least we should speak out.

932
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:30,760
At least we should participate in the activist organizations that we believe in,

933
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:35,760
as long as we're functioning on reasonable, value-based approaches.

934
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,760
I mean, violence isn't the answer.

935
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:39,760
It's certainly not the answer right now.

936
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:46,760
That's the excuse the government needs to finally shut down what little is left of our personal liberty.

937
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:47,760
Let's not give them that.

938
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,760
But let's stay in the fight, and let's see what we can do together.

939
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:56,760
Maybe we can, I believe we can, continue to make a difference as we actualize our own potentials

940
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,760
and engage the fight from the standpoint of change.

941
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:26,760
...

942
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:27,760
...

943
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:28,760
...
