21 Studios and the 21 convention and co-founder of the red man group today on the show with me I have DDJ from Miss Andrew today also a frequent and new panelist on the red man group every week on Saturday It's 11 a.m. To 1 p.m. Eastern DDJ welcome to this show today's interview Hey, man. It's good to be here. Thanks for having me on.  Yeah, so I filed a lawsuit on the 22nd, which is yesterday and just kind of a you know Kind of like the brief elevator speech version of the lawsuit Basically, I'm suing under 10 separate causes, but the main five are under free speech under 42 USC 1983 and I'm also suing for discrimination Based on 42 USC 2000 a which is a public accommodation law and then I am challenging Section 230 of the communications decency act is unconstitutional and I'm also suing Google and YouTube for fraud and I'm trying to get the courts to enter a declaratory judgment Finding that Google and YouTube's contracts are unconscionable, which means that basically they're unfair and Unconcerned to rule them unenforcible You mentioned Section 230 is that the thing that I've seen Ted Cruz and other senators talk about in the Senate with like You know protecting protecting the platforms from any kind of blowback and lawsuits and stuff. That's correct. Okay. Yeah, cool Yeah, and this is so why is this you know? We're gonna go through it in a minute but why is this lawsuit unique because obviously others have tried to sue in California and stuff against Google and YouTube for De-platforming James DeMoor comes to mind and a few others I think some of those are ongoing too, but it's like what happened to them and where are they going? So why is it different? Well, let's let's talk about James D'Amour for a second because he actually happens to be the exception to the rule So the thing about James D'Amour was that he sued for wrongful termination, which is a little bit different But what makes his lawsuit compelling is the way his attorney pleaded that lawsuit But also the fact that he had to to work with arbitration clauses. See he had him dead to rights He collected all kinds of data and information So of the particular lawsuits that were there, he had more insider information than almost anybody up to that point Pardon me now with with that said The thing about James D'Amour is that they went through arbitration with his case And he ended up settling and the reason he ended up settling is because his was the strongest case against Google for discrimination on the whole employment discrimination side now his case also Even though he's no longer a part of it the other plaintiffs in that case They're pursuing forward and of the cases that are active right now his has been the most successful now let's go ahead and Compare that to say some of the other cases like the Lauren Loomer case or Laura Loomer case I should say the Prager case and some of the other cases where they mentioned free speech So under 1983 One of the main ways that you hold somebody accountable for free speech type violations is you have to demonstrate some kind of government interference That's been the main failing point of most of these lawsuits Prager got blown out of the water with a Motion to dismiss Laura Loomer just lost a motion to dismiss now She's in the court of appeals and she almost lost her ability to appeal the other day But the judge said no we're gonna go ahead and let you appeal Even though we don't think your case has a lot of merit the difference between my case and their cases when it comes to the First Amendment claims Is that I'm actually claiming that Google is a government actor? So they never did they never even alleged it But if you look at my complaint the base complaint itself is 67 pages But with my all my exhibits and my evidence that I attached to it it goes up to over 500 pages now The reason that that's important is because I'm saying that Google is a state actor for the government of China European Union and they are a state actor for the Christchurch call signatory governments Which there's 17 other governments now the thing that these governments have in common they've outlawed hate speech and so what I'm saying is that Google in their individual capacity is enforcing foreign government's hate speech laws on American citizens on American soil Hmm and that's a violation of our First Amendment constitutional rights and in my case It's not only a right. It violates my rights a freedom of speech It violates my right to choose what religion I want to choose without any kind of retaliation And it also impacts my right to associate so a lot of people talk about political discrimination and in California in the state of California and in Washington DC there are political discrimination Discrimination causes of action when it comes to those types of things But but nowhere else in the country so with that said What I'm saying is is that we can talk about political discrimination under First Amendment with regard to freedom to associate You should not get political pushback or First Amendment You know civil rights pushback For who you associate with yeah, you know you want to be a conservative you be a conservative You want to be a religious fundamentalist you be a religious fundamentalist, but you can't be discriminated against those those or on those grounds now the reason that this is important to the Manusphere is because people who associate with the Manusphere They're getting their speech silenced. Yeah, you know the whole Red Pill community the whole Manusphere community doesn't matter what tribe You're part of you're getting your speech silenced and that's a serious problem Specifically the Red Pill community on red It was quarantined about a year ago maybe a little more and I was about 300,000 subscribers ahead of time It's all quarantined so fucked up now, and it's been falling apart since then because of that Right so so with that said let me kind of you know talk about the lawsuit a little bit like I said It was filed yesterday. I'm gonna go ahead and share a screen so you can kind of see the lawsuit a little bit I'm gonna I'm gonna jump around a bit because there's a lot of facts Okay, also for those of you viewing there is a link in the top link in the description to this video You'll see the link to the full lawsuit everything has on site. I miss Andrew today calm So top link in the description to view this yourself Yeah, and anybody who wants to look at the lawsuit definitely look download it Yeah, share it give it to your elected officials if you live in a state where the Attorney General is getting ready to Investigate Google and YouTube and big tech. This is something that's there now. Here's the other piece right off the bat Why did you file this in Colorado rather than somewhere else like California? We're gonna get there in just a second, okay First and foremost, and this is a big one for me.  They couldn't do it Feminists tried to dox me People within the migtau community tried to dox me. They couldn't do it I've always believed the idea of hiding in plain sight So I just been telling everybody that my name is something different than what it is And of course everybody was thinking that and they just believed it. So, you know first rule of war You have a nice day. Yeah, so with that said The reason I filed it in Colorado is because that's where I'm that's where I live so so Now the other reason why it's fun to file in Colorado is because I'm told the 10th circuit is one of the most conservative circuits in the country So I have home field advantage Now with that said as you can see the case number is right there on the top now I'm gonna jump down now. There's 47 pages of facts, but we're just gonna go through them real quick Okay, so the introduction now here's a mistake most people make and the one of the mistakes is under jurisdiction So YouTube always fights for jurisdiction you to Google fights for jurisdiction but the issue is this in Colorado if you look at Statement 10 here's I scroll through you'll see that they have a significant presence here That's one of the ways you establish personal jurisdiction. They have a hundred and thirty million dollar 200,000 plus square foot facility that employs over 800 workers in Boulder, Colorado That's enough to establish personal jurisdiction The other reason that they have jurisdiction is because obviously I'm a resident here as well as you can see if you can see the Highlight there in a second And then of course venue is proper for the same reasons now as far as the parties are concerned I talked about that a little bit scrolling through now. Here's the facts now This is number one Google is a Chinese state actor now part of the reason for that is is dragonfly their censored search engine but the other reason is because of the 2017 national intelligence law entered by China which states that any organization in China that operates in China Falls under the jurisdiction of their intelligence and they actually have to Work with the government they're required by law to it imposes a duty on them now Google maintains four offices in China and they they employ hundreds of people and in addition to that They're working on AI so they have to work with the Chinese government by law They're duty bound to do so and I believe that they're pervasively intertwined, which is what we are alleging I remember reading it reading about this and even there's some Google employees a while ago who were really pissed about this I think few years on it was really super fucked up Yeah, and that's and that's the point it's extremely fucked up So so this is the way I think that that we talk about China China as a state actor The other problem that I see though is they're also operating as a European Union State actor You see they talk about their trusted flagger program, which I'm gonna kind of get into here And this is the thing that really a lot of people miss So when you look at the trusted flagger program the British government is a YouTube trusted flagger, okay? Wow, you want to talk about pervasively intertwined you have foreign governments responsible for enforcing Hate speech policies on YouTube. So you have foreign interference with US free speech rights right here and Google admits it This is an article from the Verge from 2014 now in addition to that They say less than 10 of these slots in as of 2014 were filled by government agencies But that also means that more than just the British government is involved So there may be other governments involved now The other issue is this they created what's called a code of conduct between the European Union and Google and part of that code of conduct is that they're supposed to share information with other tech companies who were part of the Signatory group as well as the governments. This could implicate antitrust issues This could implicate monopoly issues But it could also implicate a variety of other issues as well because you see even with the Chinese government issue By law Google is supposed to be listed as a foreign agent and And and they haven't they haven't registered and the same thing with the European Union This is a joint enterprise agreement and what's important about this is is that? Google and YouTube were involved in the creation of the code of conduct now the code of conduct was created specifically to enforce hate speech online These countries have laws against hate speech where you can go to prison for hate speech And they are enforcing these laws these foreign laws on United States soil Let's go by real quick for the average viewer hate speech in the United States has been ruled by the Supreme Court to be completely unlawful and Unconstitutional or any kind of discrimination against hate speech since there's thing in America We're gonna get we're gonna get to that in a second Let me jump down to that now Let me see if I can find a good quote for that because there's there's some pretty good quotes here Give me a second.  Yeah Now the reason I bring this up we're gonna gonna jump away But so so there's a lot of facts here, but I think the big facts are this, you know, the Chinese government issue is a fact I'm gonna jump around a little bit Google operates as an EU state actor. They're pervasively intertwined the Christchurch call which happened after the New Zealand shooting Let me see if I can get down. There's a lot of facts as you see I'm scrolling through Yeah, the Christchurch call which is section 4.3 of second page 17 of the complaint Let's back up a second year too for the average viewer who's just totally uneducated on what this means This document we're looking at is the first public complaint the first official document that got filed for this lawsuit, correct? Yeah, this is actually the amended complaint, but I had to change one sentence But it is like 99.99% is accurate as a first complaint This is the first amended complaint, but it says the same things got it So this is the first official motion to get this to get the ball rolling as a vet is correct This is a complaint. We'll be filing a summons as well as our cover sheet a few days. We'll be serving YouTube and Google next week So we wanted to get out and talk to people about it. I'll be setting up a go fund me account for this to help fund The lawsuit to help fund the attorney. I'm not doing this pro say I do have an attorney on board I did do a lot of the work myself on this a lot of the legal research and everything else Got the attorney to kind of over you know provide oversight and not this thing going But I mean that this is a huge there's a huge suit and those who don't know you you spent years as a paralegal Working with turnies, right? Yeah close to 15 years and all I did was litigation and appellate work in addition to civil rights work as well so Pardon me. I had to get a drink there now As far as the multi-state actor after the New Zealand shooting the I think she was the New Zealand prime minister She put together the thing called the Chris Church call Now this was organized. Her name is Jacinda Arden and she also organized it with the child abuse victim and French president Emmanuel Macron Oh, yeah You banging his teacher when he was a kid. Oh, yeah, that's his wife now. Yeah Yeah, yeah, he was banging his teacher who became his wife.   The cuck is real. I'm telling you man the thirst.  So so we're talking about that So i'm going to jump around a little bit more the reason why this is important and the reason why this is so damning Is because the chris church call Basically tells the the tech companies are are getting together And what they're doing is they are sharing information. They're creating common databases They're not only sharing it with the other governments the 17 signatory governments They are sharing it with other tech companies That's classic definition of potential antitrust. You look at like remember when alex jones was taken down by everybody Yeah, and payment processors wouldn't work with him How much you want to bet some of those payment processors where chris church calls signatory agreements? Okay, how much you want to bet? I mean that's that's classic antitrust And the thing is is that nobody's actually ever said it as much nobody is challenged google or youtube In any kind of meaningful way on the chris church call or the european union code of conduct now Here's the other thing Many of these lawsuits to come out. They don't use these news articles that we find In the lawsuit. That's what makes 4.4 the lawsuit so important Because 4.4 google enforces foreign hate speech laws and opposes hate free speech in the united states This whole section is based on the good sensor that was released to breitbart Okay, and I can go through and add this And uh chris church or christ church. Sorry dollhouse Whatever i'm looking at the chats So anyway, if we go down here, we talk about the good sensor and we're going through here This is what google advertises they advertise freedom of expression freedom of information freedom of opportunity freedom to belong But they don't do any of those things And they they admit to the legitimacy of the document to the verge So I talk about that as well. So there are over in this in this lawsuit There are probably 60 or 70 Um probably closer to 60 to be fair Um exhibits attached to the lawsuit because there's so much evidence here right out of the gate And part of this is is that I don't want anybody to assume that I'm making Conclusory statements. I'm actually only sharing facts and in many cases. I'm quoting them one after another So now we go through and I'm going to try to jump around a little bit And again, this is the good sensor now. The other thing is google's contracts are unconscionable now. Again, that means they're unfair One of the reasons that they're unfair is because of unfair bargaining power now What that means is that google and will youtube specifically Is used by over 73 of all us adults It is the second largest social media platform in the world right after facebook And it is the second most popular website on the internet According to alexa So they have unfair bargaining power But more importantly their contract is a take it or leave it type of contract. You can't negotiate with them So what that means is is it's a contract of adhesion? Now in addition to that their contract of adhesion says they can change the terms at any time without any notice To you at all Now the reason Oh, uh, bengoshi. Biyusha. Yeah, I understand that but I do know for a fact that I got hammered for the new zealand stuff Prior to the chris church agreement as well. Just kind of an fyi Um, I think they were in part of negotiation because that's the other thing to jump back up the eu agreement the coda conduct as well as the, um The chris church call Google and youtube admit to helping create that they probably were working on it for months behind the scenes Before anything came out in public and they probably used the alex jones d platforming as like a beta test to see what would happen That's that's my assumption here. I have no facts right now of that But you know what it might be something that we look at in discovery. So with that in mind, let's move forward So, you know as they come through here All these terms of service Their competitors use the same terms that allow them to change the terms at any time without notice When you allow this to happen What ends up happening is is that you have an unconscionable contract with no control and it constitutes what's called unfair surprise This is important in law because it's one of the ways you determine a contract unconscionable First is is unequal bargaining power, which we've already talked about Second is going to be unfair surprise and then the third is that There is no meaningful choice YouTube is the largest video platform in the world if you want to do business on video And you are an independent video producer like me like you like many other people You have to work with youtube because they all have the same clause They all have that terms of service that says they can change it at any time So that was an important to make sure that was included and then finally this is a big one There's a lot of people out there that have been talking a lot of shit About how 230 is the greatest thing since sliced bread And I don't think so. I think it's just the opposite you look at youtube You look at google you look at facebook and twitter how they silence free speech left and right and they're able to do it Because section 230 of usc 47 Gives them immunity it gives them civil immunity from civil liability For violating somebody's constitutional rights It's even written in the law that even if the material is constitutionally protected They're immune from civil liability So we have to attack it because they can just file a motion to dismiss based on this and we have nothing And this is what's called constitutionally overbroad Constitutional challenges as far as how you do them They're well settled case law all throughout the country. And so that's what we did We researched this to make sure we were all on the same page And we wanted to make sure that we attacked this because it was overbroad because it was vague And then yeah, it's almost like surprise anal Bengoshi exactly um And then in addition to that You know, we we talk about how it's internally inconsistent You see the the reason that they created the 230 exception Under the communications decency act was to promote free speech. It wasn't to silence it But yet that's exactly What youtube google and big tech are doing is they are using this as a hammer to silence free speech now Let's move on change for that immunity. They were supposed to not act like a publisher They're supposed to let people post and publish anything that were on the platform for the most correct But that's been totally perverted and destroyed at this point Well, and let's and let's talk about that because if you go back to the good sensor And you can see this on the good sensor document and I include this and I talk about it in a lawsuit Even youtube and google admit That they're now publishers and they're not facilitators See it used to be that they they were called quote-unquote platforms and they would facilitate other people's speech But now what they're doing is they're publishing their own speech and they're competing with the people Who are pushing their own speech on there and so in a way to kind of Unfairly compete with them. They're censoring people They don't like and then they're and then they're boosting people That they do and we're going to get into that later on But I think that it's important to kind of talk about that as well because you're absolutely correct there now Here's a new one. No one has ever done this yet, and I'm the only one online who's talked about it in this way YouTube is a place of public accommodation Under 42 usc 2008 which is another civil rights law.  They rent movies. They sell tv shows. They rent tv shows You could subscribe via youtube red. They're absolutely a place of commerce and what's interesting is Is that under the americans with disabilities act? Multiple courts have ruled websites are places of public accommodation And the department of justice is actually admitted They are places of public accommodation in a letter Tooth in 2018 to congress From the department of justice office of the assistant attorney general and I have a couple quotes here You can look at the lawsuit. This is about page 32 at this point Um and it kind of goes into that point what we're asking the courts to do is to say That youtube and google are places of public accommodation for civil rights purposes as well because I believe that as a patriotic american Who follows the christian faith? I believe they've discriminated against me based on my religion and national origin See a lot of people don't talk about Discrimination in the context of national origin discrimination. I think i'm the only one who's actually ever brought it up In in in those terms anyway So that's there are protections against national origin discrimination And if you're an american and you wear a hat that says make america great again Or you wear, you know, you have you fly a flag proudly in your yard an american flag You shouldn't be discriminated against for that. Yeah, that's unfair Now we're gonna move on. Um, I have some facts related to what they've done to me And then i'm gonna scroll down here to another gem because this was uh Brought out by project veritas recently and I used it in my lawsuit Give me a second here scrolling down. This is the scrolling scene of the video Maybe here we go So the interesting thing about project veritas and here is something that no one else has talked about Okay, so everybody's talked about this thing called twiddler Now what twiddler is it is a program that allows google and youtube to boost content They like like say they like a video and they want it to go viral They can boost it and force it to go viral and have everybody see it They can put it at the top of the search engines. They can do all these things They have a thing called real-time boost that helps with that as well And they also probably be something very bland and mainstream like a steven colbert video or some mainstream music video, right?  I was one of the first people to talk about it But that that video got buried and I believe twiddler and some of these other tools were part of that But here's the thing that nobody talks about and this is something that I do and this is the most important takeaway I think of this particular lawsuit that no one's going to discuss and they're not going to know how to discuss it Let's say you have an ad sense account. Let's say you're the for the ford motor company, okay? and I'm going to put my ford car ads On a video or a website and I have an ad sense account and if you guys for those who don't know When you get monetized by youtube you have to get monetized through an ad sense account, okay? Now, let's say YouTube has some viral video of trans grooming of children, right? So they're doing pedophile grooming of trans kids or kids to be trans to make them more vulnerable to trans indoctrination They artificially inflate it and they make that video go viral now that video gets three or four or five or 10 million views What they're doing is is they're charging ford motor company extra money for those views because they've artificially inflated how popular that video is now that video is viral ford motor company May end up paying 10 times as much for marketing on youtube or through google than they would otherwise This is the same as true for websites. You have ads on websites and their websites that youtube likes They boost them up and since it's pay-per-click or pay-per-view or pay-for-whatever Now all of a sudden these these advertising companies They're paying 10 15 20 times more than what they would normally pay because youtube is artificially inflated the traffic And they're and they're getting no return on this on their advertising There's been studies done where social media marketing is not translated into additional revenue. So artificially boosting content It robs advertisers Of revenue or i'm not of revenue. I'm sorry, but of ad costs by artificially inflating their ad costs That's not fair to advertisers now. Let's take it on the other direction If you artificially drop or demote Videos or websites and you conceal them let's say on page 20 of google Or you conceal them to where when you try to search for them on youtube. You can't find them Now you're robbing youtubers of ad revenue Because you're concealing their video and you're doing it in such a way that people never even see it And the twiddler tool through the most recent project veritas leak proves it That's huge antitrust. That's huge fraud on a federal level Now and this happened to me too. The reason I bring it up is because i'm personally damaged by this I can show where people are getting unsubscribed from my channel They're not being notified of my videos and you can see the the videos the number counts are drastically dropping And it's not because nobody's watching them and then on top of that youtube and google are turning around and they're going back through And they're stealing views from from youtubers Well, when you're stealing views from youtubers, you're also stealing ad revenue from them So that's something important to think about but the other thing that's important to think about And this is something that a lot of people didn't realize. Let me see if I can find it here Give me just a second here Um, here we go I did a video in december 2018 called the splc funds terrorists Now google has donated 250,000 dollars to the southern poverty law center, but in addition to that The southern poverty law center is a youtube trusted flagger And on top of all that google pays its employees six months wages To work with ad partners. I mean to work with ngo partners The southern poverty law center Is one of these non-profit ngo partners NGO means a non-governmental organization something like that. Correct. Correct So 501c3's so google is not only giving money to the southern poverty law center Who in turn is giving it directly to antifa, which I point out in my december 2018 video But they're actually assigning Google employees to work full-time for the southern poverty law center for six months at a time Antifa is about to be declared a uh, terrorist organization too. It looks like and if they are then that means that any Organization that funds them is aiding and abetting terrorism. So once This is why I bring this up This is important because google is using the southern poverty law center And they're using 501c3's as pass through information pass through agencies to fund antifa terrorism. That's a problem So and again, I mean, it's you know, this is this these are major national interest issues And these are things that people are not talking about to my knowledge I'm the only one who's ever accused the splc of funding antifa and I can prove it So that's the other issue that's there. So those are those things are important So let's talk about the causes of action. Obviously we talk about the first amendment under 1983 Um, we go down here some more We talk about the second cause of action about national origin discrimination Under a subsection 2000 a and then again, we go back up here We talk about how 230 is unconstitutional and again, you guys can read all these on your own definitely um, you know, definitely Share this with everybody. You know other youtubers that are dealing with this You know, uh people in the media that are dealing with this all alt media I mean the reality is it is it, you know, it doesn't matter how big the youtube beef is We all need to be Fighting for our free speech rights as american citizens Let's let's put our differences aside and let's work together Protect our rights and then, you know, we can go back to whatever beefs are still left. All right Go ahead question. Does the constitution of the state of colorado have any relevance to the case or any influence? I don't know I don't think it'll have any influence per se other than being a positive impact But I'm I'm this is a federal case. It's filed in federal court. I got a state court. Okay.  They advertise it. I pled it They're not and then on top of that they conceal the fact that their trusted flaggers Are foreign governments and agents of foreign governments enforcing foreign hate speech laws on u.s citizens. That's fraud They don't tell you they don't tell anybody about that and when they change the terms of service They never notify anybody. That's unfair surprise. You know, it's like what's his name said earlier surprise butt sex So then the other side of it is is at any time you enter a contract Um, you have an implied governor. I'm sorry an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing They've breached that and so I go on and I talk about that And then you go on a little farther and we have google's contracts are unconscionable Now part of the reason I'm doing that is so that I can avoid forced arbitration in california But the other reason is because they are in fact unconscionable and it's unfair So we can continue on the land ham act now. This is a competition act Basically, I say that because google and youtube make videos on their own they compete with me Now the other side of this is that no, uh, hi lord inquisitor. I got 40 watching right now and again, this was an un There was no notice given on this. This is a this isn't on the fly screen stream. That's not bad for that All right, we're gonna move forward and the eighth cause of action google does not meet the good faith requirements of 230 Now here's the thing if section 230 of the communications decency act is held to be constitutional There is still a good faith requirement under 230 to get immunity and i'm saying that even if it is held constitutional There is no good faith on the part of google and youtube and so they shouldn't get that immunity I'm one of the few people that's actually alleged this as a as a cause of action by itself And then finally tortuous interference with economic advantage because google and youtube have attacked my channel They've demonetized my channel. They demonetized a lot of my videos prior to demonetizing the whole channel They've concealed videos. They've removed videos. They've interfered with my ability to earn the money I would have normally earned Yeah, none of that happened and and a lot of people are complained about this I'm just one of the few that's suing over it. I mean at 21 studios We've had hundreds of videos about demonetized same with the red mag group. They get demonetized almost every time Yeah, i'm not surprised. Yeah And then my 10th cause of action is is motion for declaratory relief Now basically i'll talk about that in the prayer of relief section because I think it's important to read so number one Google youtube are a joint interest or visibly intertwined state actors and agents of foreign governments And in their individual capacity Violate and continue to violate Louis's first amendment rise to free speech and freedom of affiliation under color of foreign law two Google's websites youtube.com google.com are places of public accommodation their online theaters and or places of public Exhibition within the meaning of usc subsection 2000 a and they've discriminated against me based on my religion And my national origin as a patriotic christian and american citizen Three google's hate speech policies are used to censor american citizens on their face are unamerican And they serve to chill my free speech rights and they constitute an unconscionable contract clause as a matter of constitutional law public policy and national public interest four google youtube's contractual clause allowing them to alter the terms of their contracts at will without notification And forcing me to pre stipulate to any and all of their contractual alternatives Constitutes an unconscionable contract clause and is unenforceable as a matter of law and public policy interest And then of course subsection 230 of the communication Decency act is both facially and as applied Unconstitutional due to being overbroad vague and internally inconsistent And then in the alternative Google youtube doesn't meet the good faith requirement for any kind of immunity from civil liability under section 230 of the communications decency act And then in addition to that google is committed fraud by misrepresenting me and the american people That they don't maintain I'm sorry misrepresenting to me and the american people that they don't maintain black lists or artificially promote demote content of users And then of course any other judgments the court wants now I'm also asking for google the courts the federal courts To enter an injunction, which is like a restraining order To prevent youtube from restricting demonetizing or otherwise censoring videos From me or any american citizens on youtube.com or any other website That that is awesome.  That's really making my friday And that's the thing is like like when you look at this whole thing, right? And you look at this whole scenario This is the kind of lawsuit in my view that other people should have already filed already because all the information is publicly available But the point is this is that the lawsuit is of national public interest and big tech as a group as a cartel Has been attacking Free speech left and right So dollhouse asks the question your perspective is to come back after it is dismissed No, my perspective is if the trial court dismisses it, we're going to take it to the to the court of appeals and to the supreme court This is not a fight that ends at the trial court You see the biggest mistake that people make and i've been saying this for years online Is that you need to prepare for your your appeal on day one? And this is what we've done. We have prepared to take this to the court of appeals We have prepared to take this to the united states supreme court on day one I don't really give a shit what the trial court does because i'll tell you what's going to happen If we went at the trial court level Google and youtube are going to appeal If we lose at the trial court level, we are going to appeal. That's just that's just the reality This is going to be a case that's going to get to the supreme court regardless Because this is a type of case that has massive public interest and the other thing that i didn't tell anybody about So it turns out that there's a little known law that when you challenge a a federal law as unconstitutional You have to notify the attorney general of the united states and give them an opportunity to either intercede in the lawsuit either to help you determine as unconstitutional or To fight you on it What this means is is that this entire complaint including the stuff about antifa and the fraud and everything else Is going to cross the united states attorney general bar It's going to cross his desk So he's going to read it which means trump's going to know about it Which means everybody's going to know about it because we're challenging the laws unconstitutional And a lot of people have realized that the law is flawed where it is and there has to be some changes Now i'm not saying that this is the perfect lawsuit I'm not even saying that we're going to win but what i am saying is is that it's not a frivolous lawsuit It's a lawsuit that's basically taking Well-settled case law and applying them to websites and applying them to the cyber age Because that's what we need to be doing We can't be using old antiquated ideas without trying to evolve to an internet age And I think that's the biggest mistake that a lot of Prior lawsuits have made is they haven't pled this stuff out because the rules of Pleading these complaints have changed and the way things are done has changed So, you know, there's a lot of new things that we're bringing into this lawsuit It's a very novel concept when it comes to a lot of this stuff But we understand that it's going to be an uphill battle and more importantly though We also need to understand this if you do the same old thing over and over and over again And it fails every time To continue to try it is insanity So we are trying to absolutely win and like I said in the next few days We're going to be putting up a go fund me so people can donate to the legal fees And we can you know, basically help fund the lawsuit as we're fighting it because this isn't just for me And this isn't just you know to dox myself and to make a bunch of money and right off into the sunset This is about free speech. We have a way where we can Give the power of civil rights online back to american citizens And I think that's the most important piece because you know, american citizens have been silenced too much And a lot of people feel like they're on the verge of giving up and and you see it everywhere And I think that you know, one of the reasons I filed I've been publishing, you know content videos and conferences for 13 years now and as an entrepreneur and a publisher I do feel like I'm walking on eggshells at the time like an abusive relationship or something like that Yeah, I can't always say what I want and publish what I want Not because of some law but because of these fucking companies being like, you know Covert little scumbags and you don't know what's going to happen.  It's horrible.   That's right. I agree So that's really this is my lawsuit. This is what's going on Um, like I said if anybody who's watching this video Yeah, go to my website Download the lawsuit itself Download all the exhibits there and in a zip file. It's a big it's it's together when you put it together. It's real big Okay, so but download it Get copies of it.    That's what our troops do You know, when you sign up for the military and you become a soldier and and you know, our military veterans They sacrifice their lives their families and everything else to defend our country So this is one way I can do the same thing in order to defend our country for what I perceive as Enemies of our constitution both foreign and domestic.  This is this is a place where all of us can come together Regardless of what tribe of the man is here you are whether you like ddj whether you hate dj Whether you think it's great.    This is the way we hold big tech accountable and foreign government accountable For interfering with the american way of life because I'll tell you what there has been foreign interference in our elections And it's through companies like facebook and twitter and youtube and google through enforcing hate speech policies on american citizens on american politicians And on american public officials and frankly it's time it stops Hey man to that man.  I really appreciate your time man coming on today And everyone else again a short notice like this. Fuck. Yeah Yeah, thanks guys. Take care. Cool. DJ. We'll see you tomorrow, man. Everyone else. See you soon. Peace out


What the f**k is going on in crypto this week? Three banks collapsed, Bitcoin dropped under $20,000, then the government stepped in to rescue all depositors, which shot Bitcoin back up over $24,000. Now diving into this week, tomorrow we have one of the biggest volatility events happening. At 8.30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, we will get the inflation data for last month. If you look back at the two previous months when we got the inflation reports, you can see the impact it had on Bitcoin's price during that week. Depending on the inflation data, it will probably weigh heavy on the decision for interest rate hikes next week. There's already rumors going around saying that interest rate hikes will be paused, which would send risk assets like crypto on a run up to the upside.

Hello, and welcome to the third STRATCOM panel titled Digital Strategies Reloading. As we all know, communication technologies are constantly evolving, changing, and renewing themselves. This has accelerated the globalization process, and as a result, our world has become smaller as distances have shrunk. Our speakers on this panel will discuss the digital strategies of states, international organizations and corporations in the digital age. I'm joined by Miklos Gaspar, he's the head of digital communications at the International Atomic Energy Agency based in Vienna. Miklos ran key strategic corporate projects at the International Trade Center and organized the World Export Development Forum, ITC's flagship event in Rwanda. It was the largest such-ever event ever held. Mathias Lufkin sees a social media architect at DigiTips, a boutique PR agency advising a range of corporations, UN agencies, and non-profit organizations on the best use of social media. Mathias is best known for having created TweepLomage, a study which looks at how governments and international organizations use digital platforms. Nancy Groves, Nancy Lee's Digital Communications Strategy for the United Nations Environment Program. Her unit manages all web, social media, and internal communications activities and coordinates UNEP's outreach and responses to journalists and media partnerships. Kwan Kruger has over 20 years of experience in digital marketing and strategic communications for large organizations and brands such as UNICEF eTrade and JPMorgan Chase. He's currently the head of digital communications at the United Nations Development Program.  Daria is an international communications strategist with extensive experience in bringing innovation to corporate communication with a digital focus. She currently works for European Training Foundation, an EU agency, where she's in charge of strategic communications, press services, social media management, and the coordination of the media campaigns for outreach in the EU neighboring countries. Thank you all for joining us. Thank you for joining us. To start with Miklos Pris. Miklos, the increasing impact of digitalization is undeniable, but what kind of challenges and opportunities are created by digitalization? Thank you for that question. So, indeed, digitalization has become the new norm, and it is creating both challenges and opportunities, and in some ways, they are the same, that there are no limits. You can reach anybody. There's no topic that's niche enough for there not to be a community in the digital landscape. It also allows organizations like the ones I work for, and my colleagues on this panel work for, to reach out directly to audiences that traditionally you could have only been able to reach via intermediaries like the press. At the same time, digitalization also creates bubbles. People only talk to the people, only hear from people that think the same as themselves. So, you have more opportunities to change minds, on the one hand. On the other hand, it's sometimes harder to penetrate these bubbles, because when all they had was a news channel on TV, well, that covered every point of view. Now that they can pick from among many, many digital channels, they will pick the one that only oftentimes broadcast the views that they agree with. Is there anything you'd like to add to that question, Mathias? I think about the opportunities and challenges is that... I remember when I put the World Economic Forum on social media back in 2006. I was told, Mathias, why would we put our panels onto YouTube? Because the students watching YouTube, they're not our target audience. Well, that target audience has grown up. They are now the CEOs going to Davos to the annual meeting every year in Switzerland. So, I think we have to be where the audience is. And the audience is on social media. Just to give you an idea, the two biggest countries in the world are number one, Facebook, with over two billion active monthly users, and number two is YouTube. So, it's kind of obvious that we have to be there. And the other opportunity that I found out really early is that we function like a newsroom. We have to be like a newsroom and work like a newsroom, because that's what media companies do. So, I'm a former journalist. And by doing that, we kind of disintermediated the media. Now, the media is following organizations on Twitter, on Facebook, and all the other channels. Before, it was just, here's the press release, but now we're actually producing the news all the time. Very true. Sam, how would you like to answer that? What kind of challenges and opportunities are created by digitalization? Yeah, thank you for inviting me to today's event. I think for companies, organizations that are digitalizing, the opportunity is greater collaboration. I know that the technology for a long time has... Oh, can you hear me, by the way? Oh, yes, we can hear you. Okay, sorry about that. So for the longest time, technology has enabled collaboration, but I think the latest generation of tools are showing greater abilities to create deeper experiences when it comes to collaboration in the right hands, that is. So I can jump on a Zoom call, like we're on now. I can present a file that I'm working on. Those that are in the meeting have access to that same file here that's cloud-based. And we're editing things as we're talking, but in different locations. And that's just editing, for example. There are tools in communications for production, for project management, for a variety of ways in which we work today. And today's generation of tools, if they're integrated properly, can be very powerful. Now, I think the challenge with digitalization, and you said this early on in the introduction, is that technology is constantly evolving and changing. And to keep at pace with that is very difficult. Large companies, large organizations, they have to think through a process of testing and deciding what is the most suitable technology to fit into their environment. And they have to do this at pace with all the changes that are happening. And so how do they think through, okay, what is appropriate for my multinational company or my global organization, and how quickly and do I introduce these adaptations to a staff, like in the case of the UNDP, there are 17,000 people in the organization. So it can be tricky, and that's a huge challenge for them. Interesting. Daria, anything you'd like to add? Yes, thank you very much. Good afternoon and tonight in, I don't know if that's correct in Turkish. And thanks a lot to the director of communications of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey for the invite. Yeah, I mean, what I'd like to add is that, think from the perspective of the organization for which I work, the European Training Foundation, which is helping countries in the UN neighborhood develop education and labor market system. We've seen that digital communication could be used strategically, for example, during the pandemic to help the learning community learn on being strategic through digital and beyond. I'd like to frame this point with an example. When the pandemic first hit, there were 1.5 billion students in 160 countries who had been forced to study at home. And as an organization dealing with the learning community, we asked ourselves how can we help them? And being located in Italy, which is the first new country to be in a lockdown, we reflected on how to transform, how to reload our digital strategies to the service of society. We had initiated an initiative which is called Learning Connect. It was a campaign to engage the learning community from anywhere beyond the countries in which we do operate directly. And that was precisely meant to create a connection across all those who were being facing the consequences of the pandemic. This is to say that in my opinion, digital communication in these ages, in these era which we are exploring, still has got value, not necessarily because of the technicalities which are connected to digital, but because it is a means to connect societies. And the conclusions we draw from the experience we've been running are that this is a moment in which we need to explore way further the audiences with whom we try to connect because each of us is changing the context in which he or she lives. And this is absolutely necessary in order to understand better the personas to whom we are communicating and reach better results. Linking to what a colleague mentioned earlier on is true in the past and the area in which we work which is learning. In the past digital learning used to be the privilege of a linear circle of tech gurus. And now theoretically it belongs to everyone by keeping in mind the point that there are students and teachers who still do not have access to the internet nor have the means. So digital to conclude was relevant, yes use the relevant, yes it is sufficient, no. Thank you very much. Thank you so much Daria. Nancy, how would you like to answer that? Yes, thanks for having me and hello everyone. I think on the case of where I work at the UN environment program and also for the UN secretariat as a whole the major challenge is just acknowledging that there's no one size fits all approach or audience. So for example, for the UN environment program a lot of our communications efforts are designed for audiences in developed countries as populations there have an outsized impact on environmental crises, greenhouse gas emissions producing all kinds of waste. But some developing countries are feeling the impacts with droughts and unprecedented floods both of which we have seen in Kenya where I'm speaking to you from today. So this reality really outstrips the capacity and expertise of our staff to create so many different pieces of content which might resonate with all of these audiences. So there's also a huge problem of disinformation. Some studies show that climate disinformation in particular is rather well funded and well organized and we certainly cannot compete. So what can be done? I mean, I don't have the answer but one way we have tried to address this is by working with the platforms themselves. No one knows more about how to maximize outreach than they do. For example, we at UNEP along with a number of UN entities and organizations working on the climate crisis have joined forces with Facebook on a project called the Climate Science Center. Using their insights about their audiences and their unprecedented reach we've gone through our products to identify what needs to be prioritized for featuring on this platform where like it or not, people are getting a huge amount of their information. So depending on where you are in the world, you will see something tailored to you. In certain countries, you might see a more data heavy version of the app that also highlights content about sustainable consumption. But if you're in a part of the world where data is expensive compared to your income or wifi or energy access is much more limited, you see a lighter version, but then also tailored content. For example, if you don't have options about what to buy or finances, our messaging on sustainable consumption makes no sense to you. So it's good for us to use our really limited internal resources to communicate in this way. Thank you so much Nancy. Mikos, once again, starting with you, I'd like to ask all our guests this question. What effects does digitalization have on our social, political, and economic habits? So let me give you this time an experience from my own work. I work in nuclear communications as head of digital for the International Atomic Energy Agency. And one aspect that digitalization has is that people have more easily access to more or easier access to all kinds of news, all kinds of information, including fake news and fake information as our keynote speakers discussed this morning. So this is very true about nuclear that lots of incorrect assumptions, information is present on the internet. And our job as communicators is to come back with scientific facts and information that's actually correct and spread it through various channels that you can reach these people, social media, search engine optimized websites so that you can enter these bubbles and you can do your best to counter the misinformation. And this trend is true not just in my area but in really many other areas. And so some of those political, economic, social changes are fueled by a lot of misinformation that we who know need to do our best to counter. Interesting. I'd like to ask the same question to you, Mathias, what do you think? Well, one of the aspects is that we don't have much time. Basically, our attention span has become so short. Our attention span is as long as almost a Vine video. Okay, Vine doesn't exist anymore, but kind of a 10 second TikTok. And this is really, I think a key change. If I look at my children, they're on their devices like all the time, constantly, I sometimes think. And how do we get that quality time back because so that we're not always connected, either to screens or to Alexa and so on. So I think this is one of the key aspects in terms of communicators. Obviously, our mission is we have to reach that audience. We have to get their attention and how do we do that? I think, and that's a challenge. So kind of there's, on the one side, we as users are, we cannot disconnect anymore almost on the other side as communicators. We want exactly to reach these audiences and the younger, the better. We want to reach the 12 year olds on TikTok in order to spread the messages for our organizations. For sure, what do you think could be done? Like, how can we use digitization to benefit family, for example, family life? I think digital consumption has to be used and has to be taught in schools. And I'm a big advocate that we have to teach our children how to, what to post on Twitter, what to post on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, whatever, really teaching them. The problem is our teachers weren't, did not grow up with the digital channels. They were thrown into these digital channels and often they say, oh no, we don't want to get involved. But really kind of helping users to use these tools. What can you post? What pictures are you allowed to post? And if you use, like, my idea was when my children were younger in middle school, why don't we do a school newspaper based on the Facebook page? Well, there was no, you don't, basically reaction from parents was absolutely, how dare you want to put our children on Facebook? That wasn't my mission. My mission was really kind of to explain the 12 and 13 year olds, this is how you manage a Facebook page.  Or even just to remind them, come and have a coffee in the bakery. So kind of, you need to know as a baker how to set up a Facebook page. And how do you communicate? And I think this is really key. Communication should be part of the curriculum in schools, full stop. Totally, I agree completely. Sam, how would you like to answer that what kind of challenges and opportunities are created by digitalization? Yeah, I think a couple of the panels have already mentioned this, but I want to restate this with more emphasis that even though there is so much promise and potential with digitalization, it's quite uneven. And there are those that have and those that don't have. The ones that have have more advanced technology, better infrastructure, greater knowledge. The ones that don't have are falling behind. These inequities are creating a digital divide. And we see the divide at the local level, national level, regional and global levels. So while there's so much promise, we do need to make sure that we share that promise and potential of digitalization across the board. Thank you, Sam. Daria, is there anything you'd like to add? Yeah, thank you so much. While you were answering to this question, an additional point came to my mind, because if we think of the opportunities from the digitalization, then for example, from the perspective of the work of the European Training Foundation, we see the opportunity for sharing solutions and best practices across countries which say in the face of the pandemic are facing or might be facing similar issues. But other aspects which we would like to, and we should put in the discussion, are on one side, like Sam just said, the lack of digitalization, which is having some countries or some specific groups of populations which are lagging behind. And as Matias lagged earlier on, the excess of digitalization is also an issue because of the reduced attention span and the difficulty, for example, in selecting what's relevant and what's not. And at last, an aspect which is at the core of the action, again of the European Training Foundation, because we work a lot on vocational education and training, is what it is difficult by its own nature to become digitalized, which is for example, technical learning. So I would say we have a number of challenges and opportunities. And I think communicators could contribute enormously to discussions as such, given their horizontal overview and their natural capability and skills for providing innovative eyes to the subject. What's relevant and fundamental is keeping very honest and horizontal discussion as it's happening now. Thank you so much. Thank you, Daria. Nancy. Sure. So I already mentioned that the UN, or UNEP is the UN's lead scientific program when it comes to pulling together information on the triple planetary crises. But we also host the secretariats of 14 multilateral environmental agreements which are staffed with experts on international law. So internally, we are sitting on huge amounts of information and data that we need to figure out how to make accessible to every audience that needs it, whether it's researchers, journalists, students, policymakers, and of course, the young people who have been so effective at raising their voices on the climate crisis. So a major challenge for us as communicators in this digital landscape is to really critically pull out the information from these experts who know much more about the crisis than I do. So we can get it into the conversations that make the most sense, and that can lead to lasting an impactful change, which is ideally better policy decisions by governments and businesses based on really sound science. So some of these internal experts put together these UN reports and resources, they don't understand communications at all, maybe even not the best way to put information online in a digital context. So we really need to figure out how to speak their language first so then we can then speak to people who need this information outside of our organization. On the other hand, you have others who are so in love with communications, and then you have to temper their expectations because they may not understand why, you know, one specific piece of information is not going to go viral, no matter how good a communicator you are. So there's just a lot of these internal work that we need to do to make our external communications as effective as possible. So much savvy communications expertise to know when to join a conversation and when not to join it. Of course, a mistake could set you back in incalculable ways. So that's really, I think, one of our major challenges as well. Right, thank you so much, Nancy.  I'm sorry, not Mateus, Miklos. Well, thank you. So I'd like to add to actually what Mateus started talking about. You know, you asked about families. Certainly one issue is this generational divide that kids are either using digitalization too much or as Sam has said, they don't have access and they don't use it at all. And what I'd like to add to what Mateus said is to teach them how to responsibly use digital devices and digital communication and that to educate them so that their lives don't become just all the digital but they still go out to play and that we as parents and teachers still take them to do other activities so they grow up in a healthy way. I reckon that's not too easy though, right? Yes, that's right, trial and error. True. Mateus, excuse me for the last confusing your name. Yeah, I think what I wish we would do more often as communicators is ask our audience, not just kind of like this post or kind of this call to action that we all have in our social media posts but really kind of connect with our audience and ask them what they want. It's simple as that. I don't think we do that enough. Just to, yes, we will do polls and sort of, but I think it's really asking, having this two-way conversation, much too much, we have this one-way conversation hoping our campaign will stick, hoping the hashtag will go viral but how can we have that conversation? And one thing I like about, for example, TikTok, so the latest social media channel, is not just a platform where you can host vertical videos but it's really that in order to do a good TikTok video you have to tell a story that is so engaging that the users will take the elements of that story and amplify it and create a video for their audience, which I think it's a huge challenge for communicators and I love it because it's this, I have the impression it's much more of a two-way conversation where we're talking, we're creating with users rather than just talking at them and posting the video. Do you think digitalization has killed creativity, for example? Absolutely, no. You're dying out. No, no, I'm a big fan of digital channels and the creativity on digital channels is just absolutely amazing. I was a journalist, I was editing videos, in order to edit videos, where you had to be working in a TV channel, nowadays you do it on your mobile phone and my daughter, she's 11, she's not on social media yet but she will teach me how to do it. So creativity is there. Now the creativity obviously depends on do we have the devices or are our children going out and being creative in the garden, in the woods outside because that's what we want them to do at the same time but obviously we live in a digital world so yes, our children are connected and we are also connected and we have to put those devices down when we sit at breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think that's the rule in our family. For sure, I agree. Sam, do you have any last remarks that you'd like to add? Yes, digital communications, just that field alone is so broad and we need to understand that special knowledge, experience, training is required to work in this area and even to maybe develop policies and think through how these tools apply to our work and our lives. So it's not just something that you pick up and think, oh, I just published something on Facebook or I tweeted something and now I'm a digital communicator. It's much more complicated than that today. TikTok compared to Twitter, for example, it's just a different approach to communications and you can get specialists just for Twitter or you can get specialists just for TikTok and within that, you have to understand the algorithms. So you can see the whole list of things that are required to be good and proficient at digital. We talked about the digital divide. I think policy people need to have a strong tech background and digital background to be able to address these challenges. We see hearings in Congress in the United States, for example, where congressional leaders, they're trying to catch up with the tech leaders in these congressional hearings, but they just don't have the knowledge to be able to push back and design the right policies. But I see, but we're seeing that that's changing and I would suggest that that investment in knowledge and skills in digital is important. Right, thank you, Sam. Nancy, can I please take your final remarks? Sure, I would say it's really exciting to be able to communicate and do this job, but it's also pretty hard on someone's mental capacity, particularly if we're working on topics that seemingly aren't getting any better, whether it's a climate crisis or in a UN context, various crises, famine, wars. So I think it's a real challenge for us in addition to just the work-life balance that has been mentioned is to also figure out how to help one another as colleagues and to really find some way to, if you're a really great communicator, you're gonna feel so strongly about the topic. So really help one another keep some perspective, share lessons learned, and then I have found an event like this, because I'm so busy normally just producing content, analyzing content, moving on to the next thing. So it's a real treat to be able to take some time out and have these kind of conversations with our peers. So thanks for organizing it. Thank you, Nancy and Daria. Your final remarks, please. Yeah, I would fully endorse Nancy's point. I fully agree about the fact that moments of fact are very relevant for communicators, and I share sometimes the difficulty of dealing and communicating about very relevant topic with a great impact on audiences which are spread all over the globe. So my plea would be to have more of these exchanges and more particularly as strategic communicators working mainly on digital, have an eye on inclusion and share how we are dealing in the respective organization with keeping an eye so as to leave no one behind even when we use mainly digital communication tools. Thank you so much, Nancy. Miklos Gasper, Matthias Lufkens, Nancy Groves, Sam Kwangruger and Daria Santuji. Thank you all for joining us. While that wraps up our digital strategies reloading panel, thank you all for listening. Thank you, Sume. Thank you, Sume, for that very insightful panel with all of your guests, both here and abroad. Greatly appreciated.


Recorded Books Presents An Unabridged Recording of The Sinister Pig, by Tony Hillerman, narrated by George Gwadell. This book is copyrighted 2003 by Tony Hillerman. This recording is copyrighted 2003 by Recorded Books. Tony Hillerman was born in Sacred Heart, Oklahoma, in 1925. Growing up a rural farm boy, his high school education was primarily among Native Americans in missionary schools. He received a BA from the University of Oklahoma upon returning from World War II. After fourteen years as a journalist, he decided to get a master's degree in English from the University of New Mexico. There he stayed on, joining the journalism faculty, and eventually becoming the department chair. Today he's retired from teaching, is still married to the same girl he met in 1948, and has two grown-up children. And now, The Sinister Pig. Chapter One David Slate reached across the tiny table in Bistro Biss and handed an envelope to the graying man with the stiff burr haircut. You are now Carl Makin, Slate said. You are newly retired from the Central Intelligence Agency. You are currently employed as a consultant for Seamless Weld. Along with your new credit card, Carl, that envelope holds a lot of authentic looking stuff from Seamless, business cards, expense account forms, that sort of material, but the credit card should cover any expenses. Carl Makin, the bur-haired man, said, inspecting the card, and a Visa card. Carl Makin should be easy to remember, and by next Tuesday I actually will be newly retired from the CIA. He was older than Middle Age, well past sixty, but trim, sunburned, and young looking. He sorted through the papers from the envelope and smiled at Slate. However, I don't seem to find a contract in here, he said. Slate laughed. And I'll bet you didn't expect to find one, either. The senator works on the old-fashioned gentlemen's agreement formula. You know, word as good as your bond? That sounds odd here in Washington these days, but some of the old-timers still like to pretend there's honor alive among the political thieves. Remind me of what that word is then, the new Carl Makin said. As I remember it, you buy my time for thirty days, or until the job is done. Or failing that, I tell you it can't be done, and the pay is fifty thousand dollars either way it works out. And expenses, Slate said. But the credit card should cover that unless you're paying somebody to tell you something. He chuckled somebody who doesn't accept a Visa card. Carl Makin put everything back into the envelope and the envelope on the table beside his salad plate. Who actually pays the credit card bill? I noticed my Carl Makin addresses in El Paso, Texas. As the office of seamless weld, Slate said, the outfit you're working for. The senator owns it? That doesn't sound likely. It isn't likely. It's one of the many subsidiaries of Sirig's Corporation and that, so I understand, is partly owned and totally controlled by AGH Industries. Sirig's? That's the outfit that built the offshore drilling platforms for Nigeria, said Carl Makin. Right? And in the North Sea, Slate said, for the Norwegians, or was it the Swedish? Owned by the senator? Of course not. Sirig's is part of AGH Industries. What are you getting at, anyway? I'm trying to get at who I am actually working for. Slate sipped his orange juice, grinned at Carl Makin, said, You surely don't think anyone would have told me that, do you? I think you could guess. You're the senator's chief administrative aide, his picker of witnesses for the committees he runs, his doer of undignified deeds, his maker of deals with the various lobbyists. Makin laughed, and neat I say it, his finder of other guys like me to run the senator's errands with somebody else paying the fee. So I surely do think you could make an accurate guess. But would you tell me if you did? Slate smiled. Probably not, and I am almost certain you wouldn't believe me if I told you. In which case I should probably make sure to get my pay in advance.

Hi, I'm Steve Stahl, I lead the Markets Research Program at Illry, and this week we're just wrapping up two days of stakeholder consultation on our mega program planned on livestock and fish, and then another two days of working with the CG partners on that in terms of developing the full sort of proposal. I think an interesting angle of this is the fact that this mega program will help Illry to work in ways which we have been trying to work for some years and never really fully achieved, I think, in the sense that we are trying now to integrate our technology research, including animal health, breeding genetics, and feeds with kind of a value change perspective, so it's based on what the needs are on the ground for technology, and sort of the institutional, organizational, the market, the sort of the innovation needs to make technology be taken up and have the desired impact, but then it also integrates into it the targeting, the impact assessment, the M&E, gender, equity types of analysis that we have increasingly been trying to sort of integrate but have not yet fully sort of achieved, and to do it kind of in a harmonized way. So in a sense it takes some of the current, all of the current Illry themes and integrates them into one cohesive program, and the organizing kind of mechanism is a specific or a set of specific value chains, meaning a certain species system in a certain country or region, such as pigs in Vietnam or dairy in India, which are two of the examples. What kind of risks or threats do you see in such an approach? There are some risks in the sense that we're picking sort of a narrower set of countries and systems than we currently operate in, so we're going to have to sort of adjust our resources over time to sort of focus more on those, and there'll be maybe some risks implicit in how we sort of get to better integrate the different disciplines and sort of skills and approaches that will be required to make this happen, but I think that's an exciting challenge because if we can achieve that, then that will be great. And it sounds like partnerships is going to be a key element of this. Absolutely, partnerships and communications because the intent of this is that we will be leveraging particularly development partners, but also advocacy partners, decision makers and so on to sort of achieve the aims of the, I mean the way the program is designed if we try to do it on our own, we will not succeed.


Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Trevor Oliver accompanied by his grandfather, Mr. Jack Atkins Good morning, and thank you to everyone who has spoken before me today everyone down here in front I can't thank you enough for making it easier on me and General McConnell especially thank you very much You know secretary Esper again meeting you today was a tremendous honor, and I'm very happy I got to have a conversation with you as well as a norquist as well. I appreciate our conversation. We had as well was very sweet Thank you to all of my father's fellow soldiers anyone who even knew of him to an extent Your kind words over this week and over the entire time since you've known me they've they've made it very very Easy on me and made it very easy for me to get over this and make me feel at home And make me feel like a family with you guys you you mean the world to me, and I hope you guys know that Let's see I didn't have a lot of time to spend with my dad it was a it was a shorter time But it was a very very valuable time. He taught me just about everything that he could about the outdoors Whether it be hunting fishing. He was he was a very outdoorsy guy, and he made sure I I took that with me Most of my time with him were during our visits in Montana I would go out there about twice a year during the summer and during the winter And we would get up to all sorts of trouble whether it was the winter snowmobiler going out and Shoot and go for something like that. We we loved we love spending time out in the out in the wilderness And just with each other. It was it was an incredible time with him We love shooting ranges. We love target practice. I still wouldn't say today. I'm a better shot than him And you know he was an incredible marksman and he taught me everything I know about rifles and safety and he was an incredible incredible inspiration when it came to that Like I said during our winter we would snowmobile and go out in the mountains to places that no one else sees with the Places we would go we would climb things that we were not supposed to be climbing on our snowmobiles and going places that a lot of people would not go and He was a total adrenaline junkie when it came to the snowmobile He he loved going way too fast on that thing. He the snowmobile. I have is as well It was his before he passed away. I Can't tell you how long he spent on that thing, but he spent way too much time making that thing go faster than it was supposed to So yeah as a as a little kid if I would get on that thing and put it straight down It would flip me. It would flip you straight back. So it's not not a toy And those were the most precious memories I have of him the winner and the snowmobiling memories Those were the ones that I remember the most out of everything It's funny how those memories stick I we ditched we we left him in a snowbank He was way too far up. We couldn't get to him. So we left him out there And he dug himself up and he came to the Meadow Crick Lodge with which is a restaurant you can only get to buy snowmobiling and He came in black blue and purple and shaken and all he could muster up to say was coffee And so that's that's the strength I always remember he he was always able to do it himself and he was a very independent and strong person and That's something I try to take with me every day And I hope I emulate a little bit of him out here today because that's what I'm trying Yeah, he was he was an absolute funny sweet amazing guy. He was he was hard. He was a very tough tough man, but The funniest the sweetest and loving passionate person out there You can make the whole room laugh just by walking in and smiling. That's the kind of person he was he was a he was an absolute absolute loving and caring man and Travis took pride in being an amazing father and then being an amazing soldier Being a soldier was his life and he was the blueprint of an amazing soldier and I thank him for that and I'm eternally thankful for him Thank you everybody. Thank you


The narcissist will never forgive you for this when you do this The narcissist will never stop blaming you. They will never stop being angry towards you They will always feel bitterness and resentment Because in their minds you have offended them, but what is an offense to the narcissist? It's empowerment for you. It makes you stronger and more confident In controlling your life and claiming your rights But it will cause the narcissist to feel upset, annoyed and resentful Because it will cause problems to them The narcissist will never forgive you for this They will never forgive you for when you begin to think for yourself When you have an independent mind and attitude When you have your own ideas and opinions When you make your own decisions without their help Rather than being under their influence and control The narcissist will never forgive you for breaking free from their control When you do that it will irritate them And they will become very resentful Because they see your free thinking and independent decision making as an insult They see it as though you're treating them as unworthy of regard As though you're rejecting their ideas and opinions They hate it when you begin to think for yourself When you develop your own ideas and opinions It takes away their control It affects their ability to direct the course of events Because once you begin to think for yourself And make your own independent decisions It's because you've already questioned and confronted their ideas and opinions You've already given them an opportunity To justify their actions and decisions You've already tried to hold them responsible You've already tried to understand them But they weren't having it They couldn't accept that Because they see you as their subordinate They believe that they are superior to you So you are not meant to question their authority Which is why when you did confront them They just brushed it off They acted like it wasn't a big deal Or they got mad at you for confronting them And then they gaslighted you And shifted the blame onto you But if you do take responsibility for it And take the necessary action to correct it It will still cause a narcissistic injury And they will still get very angry They will never forgive you They will never let it go Because by you going your own way Thinking for yourself and making your own decisions You are exposing them to other people You are unintentionally showing people That something is not right with them And they don't want the truth to be revealed Because the truth is against them The truth doesn't make them look good Which is why they get so mad when you try to leave They want you to pretend like they haven't done anything wrong They want you to uphold their false image of reputation Which is why when you do finally break free from the narcissist control They see it as though you have betrayed them They see it as though you have exposed them to danger And that is why it will seem like they are in a fight for their lives Because they are trying to hold on to their false image Which you are no longer validating or supporting Which you are no longer enabling They see it as though you have gone against them Because it triggers them to feel shame But they don't want to deal with those emotions So they deny the truth They deny any wrongdoing And they create an alternate reality With their own distorted perceptions and interpretations And then they pull other people into this fake world People who enable them to continue doing what they're doing People who think you're just trying to ruin the narcissist reputation Because that's what the narcissist is thinking But the narcissist is not completely delusional Deep down they know that they are wrong They just don't want to accept it So instead, they shift a blame onto you The narcissist will never forgive you for this But you need to forgive yourself For being involved with them in the first place Because you didn't know what you were dealing with And although the narcissist may be against you now You now have the power to think for yourself You have the ability to recognize That not everything is your fault They just didn't want to accept their faults and mistakes So they blamed you for everything The narcissist may never forgive you But you need to recognize That you never intended to do anything wrong You never intended to hurt them You just wanted to protect yourself But the narcissist went all out to destroy you That was their intention and objective And you were trying to help them So if they think there's something wrong with that That's on them You can't get them to see sense They have a mental disorder So they're not going to admit their faults They're going to lie to themselves And they're going to lie to you Because that's how they support their false self That's how they maintain the illusion By denying that there is anything wrong with them Thank you for watching I hope this video was interesting with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe If you would like to donate My PayPal link is in the video description Coach the inquiries You can email me at coaching.naarksurvivor.uk Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon


Good morning all. This is Anil Panala. I'm the Senior Technical Program Manager at Microsoft. My colleague, Ying Shi, actually is a Principal Software Engineer Manager. Unfortunately, he couldn't join us today. I'm sure he's listening to us today remotely and he's been contributing in this presentation as well. So we both was thinking what to share in this forum. I'm sure most of you know about the Sonic and you've been very closely collaborating with us. So we just wanted to give a little glimpse on the insights of how the Sonic qualification is done when there is a change request comes in and how we actually look at it and why the Sonic quality is important. We wanted to give little insights to the community here and what kind of help or support we are looking towards from the community as well. So in the quick agenda here, so we'll do the quick introduction on Sonic. I'm sure most of you, we are in the Sonic summit, so we don't really have to explicitly mention, but I'm sure we wanted to give you a little insights on the Sonic introduction as well. And we wanted to give you why Sonic quality is very important at the stage we are in. We did a lot of enhancements in the Sonic and why it is very important at this point. And followed by some of the control process, it's been following right now for any of the image validations and what's working currently well and what support needed from the community. So let's dive in. So I'm sure this is one of the classic slide. I'm sure you might be knowing it. So Sonic software open source for networking in the cloud. It's open source by Microsoft and its partners and then joined Linux Foundation. There are many benefits of Sonic and some of the key benefits we wanted to highlight here is it's basically disaggregates the hardware network hardware and the software, which is very, very important at the industry level we are at. We don't have to lock in the hardware and the software together. So that's the benefit of the of the Sonic and the container solution actually offers consistent, you know, operational maintenance as we just heard from the Dell. They also were able to bring up a new solution Lexus EQ. We can do a lot of enhancements on top of Sonic and even in the security level also we can have a lot of features and functionalities through applications. We can keep adding them. And the beautiful benefit here is when we when we have a bigger scale organizations and we have a lot of physical switches and either multi running in a multiple network operating systems instead of that with Sonic we can actually replace with as a one network operating system. So that's it'll be easy for the management and operations as well. So what is Sonic, right? So again, going to the basics of it. Sonic is a Debian Linux based network operating support system which support supported by many physical switching platforms and it also has all major assets on the right side. I'm sure this is one of the classic diagram you might have seen from from many time. So all the physical layer actually we have a psi which is like a switch abstraction interface which acts as a hypervisor for the whole solution. And it actually helps in communicating the SDK communication back to the north side of it. So the Sonic is consist of a lot of components and most of all the components are containerized using dockers which enable to build whatever the calls you want are based on scenario which needs to be pulled out or the call we can do on the component level as well. On the top, since it's all containerized, you can use any kind of containerized management tools like Kubernetes or anything like that on top of it and keep adding more more applications for configuration and management tools as well. And we just wanted to say thank you to all the community members. I think it's been growing pretty well. I've seen a lot every year over a year we have seen new new community members has been added and thank you for everyone for contributing into this and making together as one of the best networks operating system in the world. So it's just a glimpse of how the Sonic is powering Azure cloud basically. If you see there are multiple layers in the network. We have a tier zero which is like a top of rack. We have a tier one which is actually leaf. We have tier two which is spine and we have one and above on top of it. The blue one indicates where actually currently we already enable the Sonic. So most of the tier zero and tier one we already enable the Sonic. Tier two we are actually currently in progress. We've been working on that. It's Sonic for Chassis. It's coming in in the tier two layer and it's going to go above that and even the van and everything. We have plans for that as well. On the management side. We also have M zeroes which are enabled by Sonic already and we are working on the C zeroes as well. So this is a kind of a high level of how how the adaptation rate not just how the adaptation rate within Azure itself how we are trying to do and and we've been going towards it. All right. So why Sonic is important, right? Why Sonic quality is very important? So we became a way of journey, right? So we did a lot of things. The features has been improved, increased a lot. The functionalities has been increased a lot and the complexity of the whole Sonic itself. We've been improving and there are a lot of new skills have been entering into this Sonic supporting the Sonic and a lot of combinations with T zeroes, T ones and T twos has been there and the adaptation rate has been increasing. The footprint in all the things is increasing. So it's actually we started with a small and we are in the very big stage at this point and everything what we doing is a quality. It's makes very, very important and and also the shifting left the quality, right? So finding the early bucks, which actually going to save a lot of time and also the cost for the for the organizations as well. So and and we are trying to see how the community can also help us to find the early bucks before we start getting into the into the production networks. So we would like to share some of the process we follow currently. So any anything in the community or anything we see, right? So there are a couple of ways we do it, right? One is the any of the feature requests. We have it or the issue reporting. So any feature request will go through the high level design review and the test plan review and which it concludes as a PR creation or any issue being remoted within the reporter within the community. We do the issue triaging and we find the solution and we create as a as a pull request as a new change request into the into the system. So and this is one of the key slide of this and what we do with respect to the process, right? So any of any any pull request, anything, any change request has been created. So before it's merged with the code, there is series of unit tests being done in the in the in the environment and that's very, very important and every every change has to go through a PR and and because we need to do the protect the image integrity and we we run, we make sure all the unit test is actually passed and before we merge the code and that's the first stage of it. So this is a stage process. So once we once we go through that cycle, so it will go as an image build and then it goes to the image qualification. So image qualification has more more advanced qualification, more testing is in is done across in the in the stage where we have integration testing, we do the data and the control plane testing and we also make sure that it's been tested across the multiple physical appliances before and we make sure that it's it's completely tested to 100 to 100 percent before we call it as a ready to deployment and that's where this is the stages are very important and we will any any any mechanism anything we feedback goes back any of the stages. For example, we find issues in the image qualification side or even even in the pilot or production whatever issues we observe, we try to get back as a feature request or the bug fixes and we try to make the changes again with the same process. So in this in this also we we wanted community to help us any anything we find issues ahead of time. We wanted your support to look into it and help us, you know, build it more faster solutions on that. All right, so what what's currently working right this we have full support from community and and we have a lot of comprehensive quality gatekeepers. So as I mentioned, we do unit testing, integration testing, control plane testing for building images, we make sure before we merging the code itself, we do a lot of checks and it's very important and every feature and change request has to go through a PR process and and the control process in place before we merge it and we've been growing the number of test cases right so every year by year we've been improving and keep adding all the test cases and this is where we need help from you as well to increase and support and help in building more test cases into that and for all different combinations and layers within the within the network. And as I said, community has been has been helping us with the unit testing and repo management as well. And these are the things which been going well for any of the qualifications so far. What we actually need, I mean, and we need we need support from you guys to share and any of the extreme test cases you've been running across your organizations. And we are okay and we are we are we are open to listen some of the test methodologies you've been using. And we want to see them evaluate them and add them you know if there are any any new things you've been innovated from your site. Any any any test case reporting tools you've been working on we wanted to hear from you and if you can share across that. And we as I mentioned earlier we wanted you to help contribute in growing the control plane and and all the test cases for the son if qualification and also not just the sonic itself right so we also wanted your help or contribution towards the site test and infrastructure on testing on that as well. So yeah so thank you for listening and and we wanted you guys to help us in all the ways you've been helping already but we request you to look into this and see how how you can add or contribute contribute to the sonic qualification. Thank you. Any any questions? You're saying the one specific skew which is not working or is it normally I think when we when we there is two different streams we do it so when we do the publicly available any images we have a generic images specifically which can be deployed into any of the skews you have and if if we work on any of the specific skews we also give a different images for that specific too. If if you don't have a specific on that list I think you can come back to us or come back to the community and share that whatever the issues you've been observing with the specific images with the specific skews and we can do a triaging on that why this is not working and we can definitely look into it but the the cycle of the image processing we wanted to continue every six months and and we want to see if these issues can be identified ahead of the time or you can we can still maintain or support the older versions if you are still running that if you have issues in the newer versions but it's it's we are ready to listen them and as a community we can try to resolve them but yeah if you have any specific ones we can as Shin mentioned right you can bring it up in the in the triage meetings we can definitely take a look and yeah absolutely sure sure I think the question was a security patches right and which is not part of the any of the upcoming releases I think he has a concern that what is the road map for that feature and all that is it is it this question you're asking right I think Shin already shared what what we're planning for the 2022 2023 or five release we have a road map for every six months on that and and I'm sure if it's not there on the list and we will definitely so on the question of security release right so I think the security patch is not something that always go with the release right this vulnerability are getting uncovered at any random time so it may or may not go well with any release planning and they also in reality there's a lot of consideration that a security patch issue have to follow the common industry like a CVE process right so you you cannot just open up a security issue to everybody overnight because a lot of people are actually running on this in the infrastructure so this is something that in the in the sonic tsc we have started the discussion of how do we want to manage the disclosure right there's a certainly upstream disclosure of stuff like you mentioned on FR on news and maybe some cv is from debian itself and maybe some cv in whatever SSL right so there's a certain stuff upstream and the sonic team is more a community is more on the receiving end of things right how do we react to it and then there are certainly going to be things that it's actually part of a course on it right maybe someone made a sonic change that is having a security issue so i don't think the we have a valid kind of ready step yet the tsc is discovering discussing of how do we want to handle that collectively because we have a lot of operators that is probably need some time to clean up the fleet right in the infrastructure and then we have vendors who need to kind of prepare that for the operators so that they can roll out right so yeah yeah so yeah you you will see some analysis on the specific fr since coming soon there's some there's actually some discussion in the tsc community on that front on the fr vulnerabilities on whether that's a real one that's impacting sonic or not we will have those kind of analysis coming thank you liao that was a good question any other questions i think most of them automated and yes yes yes the final these are more of a platform you know specific on that kind of thing yeah any questions all right thank you so much


Hello friends, welcome to the session. I am Alka and today we are going to find the roots of the following equations that is 1 upon x plus 4 minus 1 upon x minus 7 equal to 11 upon 30, where x is not equal to minus 4 and 7. Now, let's start with the solution. On taking LCM here, we see that x plus 4 and x minus 7 is the LCM. We get x minus 7 minus x plus 4 equal to 11 upon 30. This implies x minus 7 minus x minus 4 upon x square x square minus 3x minus 28 equal to 11 upon 30. Or we can say, xx cancel out minus 7 and minus 4 equal to minus 11 upon x square minus 3x minus 28 equal to 11 upon 30. Now, on cross multiplying, we get 11 into x square minus 3x minus 28 equal to minus 11 into 30. This implies 1111 cancel out. This implies x square minus 3x minus 28 equal to minus 30. This implies x square minus 3x minus 28 plus 30 equal to 0. This implies x square minus 3x plus 2 equal to 0. Now, this is our quadratic equation on comparing this equation with ax square plus bx plus c equal to 0. We have a equal to 1, v equal to minus 3 and c equal to 2. We can calculate the value of d which is b square minus 4ac. This implies d equal to minus 3 square minus 4 into 1 into 2. This implies d equal to 9 minus 8. Therefore, d equal to 1. Now, we can calculate the roots. Alpha equal to minus b plus square root of b upon 2a and beta equal to minus b minus square root of b upon 2a. Now, alpha equal to minus of minus 3 plus square root of 1 upon 2 into 1. This gives alpha equal to plus 3 plus 1 upon 2. This implies alpha equal to 2. Now, we will calculate the value of beta. Beta equal to minus v minus square root of b upon 2a. This gives minus of minus 3 minus square root of 1 upon 2 into 1. This implies plus 3 minus 1 upon 2. This implies beta equal to 2 upon 2 or beta equal to 1. Hence, the roots are 2 and 1. Hope you understood the solution and enjoyed the session. Goodbye and take care.
