Let's go. Oh, sure. Oh, I'm taking them all? Thank you. You're all right. I appreciate it, man. What? Which? Yeah, I... I forgot when your talk is, so I should have called it out. Yeah, this makes peaceful the next... No. What? Oh, yeah, I'm tangled up. Okay, missus. So, who then? To present? We cannot share this. What do you have, two microphones? Yeah, we have two. So, one of them is this one. You have 40 minutes total. And we'll show you when it's left. You have scarves to give out as questions if you have time for questions. And water is here. And let's make this thing. So, which one do you have? Is it HDMI, right? Okay, let me just switch it to HDMI here first. It should work. So, you don't scale it to 1024 resolution. But, yeah. It will work probably. Hello? Test? Oh, there we go. It came back. There we go. Hello, good morning. Welcome on our third day of DEF CONF and first live session in this room. I think you already know all the important stuff. So, let's just begin. There is engineer from Red Hat. Hi, all. I'm Dennis Gilmore. If you don't know who I am, I work on the Fedora release engineering team and look after making sure we can actually ship Fedora and do some cool things. Let's jump into it. So, after a while, we're going to take a quick step back. In the last 10 years in release engineering in Fedora, we merged core and extras. And that brought about a big amount of change. We had to write Pungie because the tooling that was used to make core was not allowed to be open sourced. So, we had to start from scratch in how we make the distribution, the tools that were used to pull it together. It was a big change. Then along came live CDs and we're like, oh, this is really cool. Let's add some live CDs. And then we went from one live CD to about 50,000 or something right now. A huge amount. Then we added cloud images when EC2 became a thing. And I mean, Fedora 14 or 15, I think 15 was the first release where release engineering produced the cloud images for EC2. And then in Fedora 21 we got the additions where we then had to figure out how to go from making an install DVD with a repo of packages. And at the time I think it was about six or seven live CDs and the cloud image to making 20, three different additions with three install trees and we had to revamp what we did. We added OS Tree and Atomic in the last couple of years and then we started doing two week releases for Atomic in Fedora 23. So now every two weeks we push out a new release of Fedora Atomic which includes install DVD we update the cloud base image and the Atomic image and the vagrant box images we really only push out the Atomic side of it. We also create an updated Docker base image every two weeks as part of that process which we don't push out to the greater world. It sounds like a lot of stuff but it's really not the way we produce Fedora today for up to 23 has not really changed a whole lot since the core and extras merge. We have tweaked things, we've kind of grown organically, we've added stuff but it's the same basic Still working on this. Sorry, this is actually a it's probably Samsung that's the issue. Okay. So in Fedora 24 we have been working on a whole bunch of changes and radically redoing what the way that we make Fedora to, you know it's the biggest amount of change since the core and extras merge we've had a whole bunch of organizational changes it's loading okay hopefully switching from live CD creators let me create a live CD Paul Frills so we're pulling people in from different teams as we go so we're like hey, we really want to do this thing we don't have the people in the team right now, let's go reach out to internal DevOps into Fedora engineering because Adam Miller reports through Fedora engineering and he's not a relange person he's just working full time on doing relange stuff to meet the needs of the greater Fedora organization so that's some of the organizational changes we've made we've got a big change in for refactoring Pungy so the old Pungy we would run in serial Pungy to, and feed in the kickstart get out all install media it was clunky and unwieldy anyway, it's what it was part of the changes we're making we're making the install DVDs and the boot media as tasks within Koji we use the runroot plugin in Koji to enable us to do that so we can distribute stuff now and do it in parallel which greatly speeds up the compose time Fedora 23GA compose I think took 9 hours from the time I kicked it off to the time it was done we're doing a compose right now in about 3 hours it varies a little bit between 2 to 3 hours so it's much much faster we also run a single process so instead of having to go off and spawn a whole bunch of different processes to do things, we run one command and it triggers everything keeps track of everything actually makes sure that what we're supposed to get is what we get we also emit Fed messages at all the steps so if you're at home you can follow along and see, hey, the composer started and it's at this stage part of the black box of Relange was that all the log files were on the compose box and they were never exposed to anybody but Relange, you'd have to dig into the machine and be like oh, you know anyway, it's terrible so we have central logging we have a whole bunch of metadata about the compose we produce a whole bunch of JSON files that say these are the artifacts in it and all the logging is available in a central place so if you care about, hey, why did this go wonky you can go look at the log files and figure it out yourself because it's there, it's open and it's available and... you gotta do that Pungy is taking over the management so we had a bunch of shell scripts that would fire off live CDs Pungy does all of that as part of the config file and the work on all this was mostly done I've done some stuff but it's mostly been done by Daniel Mack because Pungy, what we ended up doing was we took the compose tool that is used internally to make Rel and we pulled all the bits we wanted and we grafted it into what we had and we've come up with a new Pungy so a big part of this goal is unifying the way we make Rel and the way we make Fedora to be more flexible, more agile and enable people to internal relinch guys that need to work on a feature or we need a feature done we can pull in people easily and there's more knowledge we're sharing more resources Live Media Creator is a pretty big change as far as live CD creation goes I don't know if anyone knows how live CD creator worked but it's probably me and Brian Lane the only ones that actually know how it works but it basically does a yum install root and then does a whole bunch of stuff on it and at the end you magically get a live CD so Live Media Creator has actually been a tool that's existed for a long time it gets shipped in Larex which is part of the Anaconda stack of packages and it calls into Anaconda and Anaconda does the install to create the Live Media so anyway we get the benefit that we've instantly switched creating live CDs from yum to DNF it's gone from Python 2 to Python 3 which, you know, a nice thing to have it has somebody that is responsible and wants to own maintaining Live Media Creator maintaining the tools we've been trying for probably four years to get rid of live CD creator but we have not managed to do so we integrated it all into Koji I have the last patches I need to deploy in production so that we can actually and then there's like five lines of kickstart change to apply and then we'll be switching to Live Media Creator for all the image builds in Fedora Michael Klain did all the Koji development work and Brian Lane enhanced Live Media Creator to suit the needs and I did all the testing if you have questions at any time feel free to ask yep it's running in a churrut the big problem with Live Media with, historically with Live Media Creator is that the running Anaconda in a churrut didn't work it would blow up in weird and wonderful ways and at least the live ISO initially the plan was to make disc images and enable Pixie to Live for Atomic they the features for that don't actually run in a churrut so we're working with the Anaconda guys on ways to enable Live Media Creator to make all the things that we need to make so the next thing I'm going to talk over real quick is the product definition center it's a new piece that Ralph been worked on it basically is a web front-end and API for tracking everything that's in the compose although rpms the artifacts etc like that that then gives us the knowledge gives us the information that we can work with to look at automating things like the compose the configs that define what goes in the compose because we can say, you know something in the Docker base image has changed let's rebuild the docker base image but we don't need to rebuild everything else or you know something that's in workstations changed just rebuild that and gives us better it gives us the foundation in order to be able to implement rings in fedora and because we can now actually have the programmable accessible information in order to figure out what's in the base what's in the workstation ring what's in the server ring, what's in the different pieces so when we first proposed this, josh boyer on the relangelist said why does this need to change it doesn't need fesco to approve it, it doesn't need you know it's self-contained it's a relangel thing you know should fesco have the responsibility to approve it etc and the answer is really no but we've filed changes for all the big things we're changing in release engineering because we want to create visibility in what we're doing and enable people to come along and say hey that's really cool with that information I can now do this really cool thing that I want to do or you know I want to mine the data and see how much does the package change over the cycle of our release in a six month period in raw hide or whatever the case may be it gives us the ability to do that and release engineering as a whole is trying to be much more accessible and transparent in what we're doing so the next feature that I'm going to go over real quick is koji sign repos jager gooski from internal language has been working on this and the simple idea like today whenever we make repos and we want to make sure the RPMs are signed we use a tool called mash and you can run it from anywhere and you know it's really cool and useful but there's a lot of use in being able to say you know koji give me a repo from this tag with all of these packages signed by this particular key and not have to run external tools on external machines so that's what we're going to do unifies how we make the repos so bodai is going to be adjusted to instead of calling mash in a charoot on you know it's back end it's just going to say koji go make me a repo for you know the f24 updates tag and you know we'll use the same features in punji over time and you know like redefine punji you know it gives more transparency into how things work the logs for mash from bodai they're not publicly available there's a whole bunch of logging that we get in relange that no one ever sees and you know probably no one wants to see it but that one time you do want to see it it's going to be there and you know allows us to scale the work out across multiple machines the layered build layered image builds is the next change it's something that adamila's been working on it will enable us to make layered docker images and integrate that into koji and ensure that we know like what goes into them and it contains a whole bunch of stuff command line interface you know extension of that actually has its own implementation of OpenShift v3 that it uses to build them you know that output is fed back into koji and we're actually as part of this looking at putting in our own docker registry because the docker registry upstream is somewhat terrible they don't provide an API or any way to really in a great way to interface with them so you know probably are we going to have the crane registry in 24 or is that we don't have a solid indexing yet but awesome so the work for this has been done by a whole bunch of people not just adam, colin, walters tomasz, tomacek, tim war and amandicada yoda people and I'm not sure if too much is here but you know like the yoda people they got resources to make sure we could get everything in place and it's probably one of the bigger changes in you know how we do stuff and it's going to enable us to look at you know many more deliverable artifacts which means that we need to be able to you know adapt and deliver more and more and more so we have a priority pipeline and this is stuff that we're looking at working on in fedora release engineering we're trying to document all of the relinch processes internally so that you know one internal release engineers can come and help us as need be and two you know anyone in the community wants to help you know do stuff it's easy for them to get involved and you know traditionally we've been pretty terrible at getting drive-by contributions we can now actually get those drive-by contributions and we're working more towards enabling people to come along and say here you know here's this thing and we can accept it because it's really clear what you need to do this is something that it's like an ongoing project that we're trying to get towards we're trying to develop standardized processes for everything pretty much and that is you know to enable you know make things clear it easier, enable people internally but you know like in my ideal world if when Red Hat wants to hire a new release engineer they come and say hey fedora who's in the community has been doing really cool stuff with and helping you do you know release engineering and we go oh you know Joe's been helping us do some really good stuff and he's being proactive and he understands how stuff works and then he gets hired into Red Hat and he's immediately useful because he doesn't have a three or six month time where he just has to learn how stuff works because he already knows how stuff works and Red Hat internally uses the same processes as we do it's an area where I think Fedora is going to take a lead and define how Red Hat as a company does stuff we need to work out how we can drop I686 for different things either stop making it entirely or you know we need to make more flexibility in how we compose Fedora so that we can promote AR64 for server to primary and demote everything for I686 to secondary but keep multi-lib enabled because people like to run Skype and Steam and other things that come as 32 bit and wine and most of the Windows applications are still 32 bit etc so as much as I really really want to get rid of multi-lib entirely because I keep going it down saying let's drop S390 let's get rid of the 31 bit stuff we don't want that then that only leaves us with I386 on the X86 as the only arch that has multi-lib multi-lib is a pain in the butt I would really like to kick it out the door but you know so we need to work out the flexibility and the tooling to enable us to send pieces of the compose to different places and redefine ultimately redefine what is a secondary arch what is a primary arch what is a primary deliverable what's just a secondary deliverable that if we make it we do if we don't sorry and sure that whatever the case may be we're going to be working heavily on release automation for Docker and Atomic because we're expecting Fedora 25 probably three different Atomic OS tree based things that you know the pdes IoT stuff the workstation working group came to me last week and said hey we want to make an Atomic version of an OS tree version of workstation because they see a use case for that and we make the Docker base images today we don't make any layered images we'll use cockpit as a test case we're testing all of the layered image stuff but you know it's probably going to we're probably going to end up with maybe 100 or 200 or more layered images and QA that we need to you know make sure that what we ship is right and we need to work out things like do we put that layered image in the same Bodi update as the RPMs or do we do separate updates for layered images I mean there's a lot of stuff that needs to be worked out as far as the release and creation of Docker and Atomic we have a few things in our priority pipeline that are related to switching to Python 3 and we need to make everything use create repo C because it has a Python 3 API and create repo never will we need to you know move things from yum to DNF because yum's never going to have Python 3 APIs we want to move DVD creation into Koji as a task so you would say to Koji make this repo with this stuff and make sure it's signed and Koji go make this DVD from this repo and you know abstract out of the tooling and put into Koji all of the releasing so in the end is likely to be something that will do the stuff it does today but will also just be an orchestration layer to say Koji go do this stuff for us and we need to figure out a great way to make the docket images for all the architectures including Power, S390, AR64 so we'll continue on the priority pipeline I actually have 3 slides in this I'm terribly sorry but 2 years ago no there's no wording this is the kind of stuff we want to get done 2 years ago I got asked how can I help what things can I give someone to do to help you and think of there's lots of stuff but I didn't have the time to sit down and write it so I think it's awesome that we have a big list of stuff that we want to do big thing we want to do is port everything to Python 3 the distribution as a whole is moving to Python 3 we really haven't done any work at all on that so Pungie, Mesh which we're probably just going to take out back and shoot all our relinch scripts Fed package, R package you know we also want to make sure that as we do that we write test suites so everything works a big thing today that we need to work on is test suites and automation everywhere because we're going to be doing more and more and do it twice as fast as we did it yesterday and we can't do that with the way that we've been doing things we need to work out how to deliver 0 a day fixes quickly so when shell shock comes along you know we need to not be like oh yeah we'll get that out in 24-48 hours because that's how long it's going to take us to go through the bow die process and get the update out to the world it's a problem we need to solve we need to ensure that we can rapidly get critical security fixes that can compromise machines onto users boxes quickly there one of the things in making redefining secondary archers we want to bring all the Koji hubs together the relinch people that do the op stuff particularly in the secondary arch base spend a lot of time babysitting shitty processes that mostly work but I mean they get it done they mirror the builds properly we don't have the same kind of issues where Debian like Debian one arch will link against different surnames because something failed to build and they just carry on we try to ensure a level of consistency across all the architectures we also want to pull in a lot of the rail processes that they use like license checking, ABI checking RPM diff and automate that into so when you do a commit and you push a new tabo to look aside cash I want to check the license of everything and make sure that licenses haven't changed that everything's licensed okay that these two files in this tabo are actually compatible license wise with each other and you can link them together and automate those checks because people are terrible at doing stuff like that there's a whole bunch of them that a big part of being flexible and faster we also want to make sure that whenever Red Hat decides we're going to go do the next version of rail that they can take what's in fedora take the tooling and processes it's just a lift and shift they lift it wholesale take it internally and then make the changes that define rail and add their extra bug fixes and extra polish and integration and stuff like that but make that process smooth that they start on Monday by Friday they've actually got to compose or we start on Monday in six months from now we'll have rail compose have fedora lead what is going to be rail we've got Koji 2.0 I'd really like to see Eratotool and Bodai Eratotool for those that don't know is a tool internal to Red Hat that pushes all the Erata I'd like to see for the places where we interact with Koji with Fedora processors with Bodai internal processors and Eratotool Bodai and Fedora and Eratotool and internal where we have the same we've got two minutes where we have the same tooling that's talking rather than write two different functions with two different APIs we put a common API into Bodai and Eratotool for shared functions make it simpler to write tools that interact with the different systems so we can share processes more at some point we actually want to solve the embargo problem sorry I don't know it is headline summary headline summary is they're still trying to figure out what exactly it's going to be the initial thought was that they would just go and rewrite something and start from scratch and they're like no that's actually a bad idea let's work at how we can iteratively change and keep Koji functional while we go from the 1.0 model to the 2.0 model so they're still trying to plan exactly how they're going to do that because it's not going to be the ground up rewrite that they initially thought that would be a great idea so that would be a bad idea for a long time people wanted to be able to deal with embargo stuff open JDK is a big example when there's a security bug we know about it beforehand we build everything and run it through the TCK etc internally which takes about a week before you can actually ship something we can't do that in Fedora we've got to wait until that CVE is public before we can build it and then go through it because every open JDK build I don't know if anyone knows it they run the internal Java team run it through the TCK and the Java certification and make sure that it complies so the open JDK and Fedora is a compliant Java and it takes a week so we can't deal well with the security bugs and there's been a few other times where dealing with embargo issues would be nice because everything is open it's somewhat difficult we'd like to look at ways to leverage internal support people to help us deal with the basic day-to-day ticket sorting of things pointing people in the right direction you need to figure out how to do that and what that actually means we want to clean up all of our scripts we want to so one of the issues with FedMessage is it doesn't guarantee delivery and I complained to Ralph Bean enough that he wrote a thing he's called GILMessage and it ensures that that message gets delivered so we need to evaluate what parts of the process that we're going to rely on FedMessage but we want to ensure that the messages get through where we need to use GILMessage we want to look at doing some sort of builds to make sure that if the surname bumps we can have a process set up that automatically deals with that or sets up side tags things like that make sure that signing works have raw hide signed we'll need to work on tooling on a service to be able to sign raw hide sign atomic repos there's a whole bunch of things outside we need to work out a way to do that without a person having to type in a password because that's a big bottleneck we want to actually implement Fedora rings and enable us to do different things the layered perhaps look at doing pulling in non-RPM content into layered images and yes sir that's what's in the wiki I copied from the wiki page I nearly deleted it but I'm like that's what's in the wiki and the priority we want to finally satisfy Richard Jones's request to have some signed metadata that can be used for invert builder to implement simple stream stuff so you can see image I'm not sure of the exact yes sir a big part of the issue with it today is the signing it has to be clear signed like we signed the check sums it's got the text and it's got all the GPG all the signature stuff inside of that text file just like we assign check sums we have no way to automate that and apparently having it not signed is not an option and that's the big issue more than the actual making the metadata that it needs it's the signing also for the there's already work started on making the platform library that makes all the different release engineering common processes put into platform basically API there's only like nine functions there right now but we're adding to it as we go and all of them have high tests all the functions are mocked and we will have all see if you create a pull request for a change the test must pass basically average due diligence but we want to make that for the future because a lot of stuff now you need permissions to be able to test it properly so the goal is to allow people who have skillset to be able to do those kind of things we kind of slowly started changing and we're now getting to a point where we're rapidly changing and how we do stuff we we'll get there we now have a requirement that if you're submitting something that's new you have to put documentation in and document that thing so that in our docs we have everything yes sir yeah it's been open for two years yes exactly it's on our list because of it's why it's here part of it's automatic signing and part of it is we need to work out a way to actually do it because at least if I understand it correctly it needs to be done at the distribution level not at the per-release level it needs to be done at the distribution level not at the per-release level so it involves changing a little bit how you know it's it needs to be integrated in the process but it also needs to be somewhat separate because it needs to not be really done at like compose time but it needs to be done when we're pushing the content live so that it possibly I mean we could probably look at like PDC for is the integration point and how to do that so that it needs I've only got a couple of minutes left so this is really the last slide and there's just questions but you know just as a whole we want to be more flexible and proactive we don't want to be reactive anymore we you know need to be able to be moved with the changing landscape as new content types, new things come along you know atomics I think I said a couple years ago that Doc is not the last shiny something else is going to come along Atomic came along and there's going to be something else that's going to come along as well and we need to be able to flexibly deliver Fedora rapidly deliver Fedora and ensure that we don't compromise our foundation so that just means everything we do it needs to be audible, accountable, reproducible you know done in a way so that we can be you know confident that what we're shipping is a good thing and to do most of this we need to work really closely with the QA team to make sure that there's continuous integration and testing and automated testing happens of everything the QA guys are putting in like auto QA to test and store media and you know we're getting there it's just going to be lots and lots of work so let's say any questions or come talk to me afterwards and you know feel free to yell at me or whatever or not so I have three scarves let's see if we can get three really quick good questions and I can give them out or I'm going to keep them at a time


That's the warm-up. We're here today at Cal Stadium to do one thing and one thing only.  And that one thing is to get a dunk. I dunked in this very stadium in the warm-up, it's not in the game. 14 years ago now and actually my best play from that game was getting a rebound and throwing a full court pass for a fast break. I didn't score someone else did but it's all good. I was part of the team. It was an epic team. We went to the Nationals that year and yeah basketball definitely holds a special place in my heart and I'm here for for one thing and one thing only. That is to get a dunk. I'm going to do it as many times as I need to until I get it. I think there's going to be some some technique that I need to sort of get down but I am here and I am doing this. So let's go. Change camera angle. I want to get this. I'm going to get this. I want to get this and I'm going to get this. I hate to say it but I'm going to admit defeat. I'm going to admit defeat today. We live to see another day. I will be back. I injured my knee man.  I'm not going to lie. So I think today was the day that I draw a line in the sand and finally get it checked out. It's um yeah it's not good and um I think I just aggravated it badly. So uh it is what it is and um I'll see you in the next one. Whatever that may be. Did we get a dunk? No we didn't. It's disappointing. But at the age of 30 I really have to start listening to my body and that that is what I will do. I've just been sitting here. I've been sitting here for about 10 minutes. Not really sure what to think. I've never really had an injury that stopped me from doing something until this moment and you don't know how much I want to go and try to dunk that hoop just one more time. But I know that if I do that I risk blowing my knee out completely. That's how it feels. So I need to go get it checked out but it's um it's very frustrating. It's it's it makes you think. Makes you rethink everything for me anyway. Any plans you have any physical plans that you need your knee for are now in question. So those are just a few thoughts for you. That's just just me being as real as possible and um I so want to try that again. No it's not going to work. Today's not the day. Today is not the day but that's okay. Thank you for watching. If you're new to the channel consider subscribing. I am a rugby player who's just developed some form of knee injury. I feel like it's right at the front of my knee. Whether that's the patella or whether that's some sort of ligament um I'm not I'm actually not sure even though I have done a personal training course I'm not sure. I'm going to go to the doctor and get it checked out so thanks for watching. As always peace out and goodbye for now.


of a major foundation, or foundation, which would provide assistance for the cohesion of the West, getting our normal, democratic allies to talk more effectively together at a different generational level than we do with the leadership role. And we are pursuing that today as a result of that conference last October. There are ego-driven women who know it's to have been with us today, but he is stricken with non-Negliosus, and we all, at his age, that's what he suggests he always gets to his work lately. And we regret that learning of ego-driven could not be with us, Mr. President, but he sends his best wishes, and we've asked Secretary Brock, who's been very much involved in these discussions and architected many of his ideas, if he would then introduce this topic to you at this point in the meeting, Mr. Secretary. Well, we really just want to begin, Mr. President, but the, you know, the people, here we've got American business, American labor, American foundations, American government people. We've got individuals from Japan, France, Great Britain, Australia, and it is a fascinating subject, I think we're trying to develop the possibility of putting together in several different countries a foundation that would work to reunify the West, to establish those basic values of freedom, the United States. We've been talking about the fact that a lot of people in this country don't remember Vietnam, much less Korea and World War II, and they don't know why we put together some of the institutions that we have to hold the free world together. And there are, you know, there are members of Congress who are good and well-intentioned and honorable people, but they may not have the sense the heritage behind our relationships with other countries and the need to strengthen that relationship and hold free peoples together in common purpose. We have an awful lot of people in this world who, you know, really don't even want to look outside our own borders, but that's how we got into wars before. And I don't think any of us wants to repeat that. The strength of the Western Alliance is the most important single strength we have in preserving peace. So what we're talking about is the possibility of, they've already begun to put together a foundation in Great Britain which they, who else and others who are prior or are putting together, we are discussing the possibility of doing it here, perhaps in other countries as well, with a view to seeing if we can't have a permanent, large institution that would have as its central and sole purpose maintaining the cohesion of Western philosophy, Western ideals and values in Western free nations. And I thought it was a pretty exciting thing. We really wanted to just expose you to the idea and get your initial reaction. And you remember one of the great speeches I think I've ever heard was your speech to the British Parliament about four years ago, was it now on June 8th? And we've talked in that speech about maintaining support for democratic institutions around the world. And out of that speech, we formed the National Amendment for Democracy which is now on going, Wayne Kerprin's on the board, John Richardson is impressed about it. But you've been such an advocate of this sort of thing and we wanted you to have a sense of what we were talking about and where we're going and maybe get some reaction from you if you would share some thoughts with us. But I'd be very pleased to have Bill as an ornament and distinguished friends here. I can't tell you how significant I consider your work to be. When I made that speech at the Parliament, what my head and mind was that the whole world, the free world is beset constantly with subversion being the principle weapon with an ideology of the world that is contrary to everything that democracy stands for. And how come we're not just as busy, and big missionaries for the right side? I'm sure you know that for many years, I've been concerned with the manifold dangers to our precious freedoms. The Atlantic Alliance and the broader community with our friends in the Pacific formed the indispensable heart and core of any serious equity protector and extended democracy in the free way of life. If our precious community of common values and shared interests, we rose blind to the prospect for freedom in a world where we bleak indeed. If our people's young and old are not comprehend well, the fundamental importance of our democratic values and institutions and do not strive constantly to preserve and enlarge our freedoms and those of black-minded peoples that our Western community will indeed falter. What you're doing, seeking to project the free Western vision into the 21st century, is an absolutely vital task. Governments have an important role to play in promoting this great vision. As you know, this administration has sought, might at least, to buttress the forces of democracy around the world and foster the ties of community among the Western peoples. They greatly expanded inter-MIs youth exchange programs and product of close cooperation among governments. And with the private sector constitute an excellent example of what is needed and what can be done. I'll continue to ask our allied partners to join in every greater governmental efforts of this kind. But I must tell you frankly that at this moment, the continuing capacity of the United States government to play its full role in its constructive work and to meet in every area of the management of our relations with other countries is in jeopardy. In a zeal to curb expenditures, our Congress has drastically and mistakenly cut this country's foreign affairs budget. These cuts must be restored and soon, or our world rule could be gravely impaired. I'm sure that our foreign friends around this table are as concerned as we are with the implications of this crisis. You must realize that these new budgetary constraints would seriously affect our ability to work with governments and peoples to build a strong community of the free, which we also earnestly desire. My own fellow citizens, here I can only urge that you study and ponder this great problem and make your views urgently open. At a time when financial constraints are, in any case, great, it becomes all the more necessary, indeed, vitally so, that nongovernmental forces in our Western world play the fullest possible role again. Bill, you've emphasized that the foundation you're proposing is a private initiative. Well, this aspect of your work also is a deep personal importance to me. Early in this administration, we took steps to reappraise the role of volunteerism, charity, and private initiative for public purposes throughout the United States. In the field of international affairs, we saw special opportunities for private commitment. Governments and private forces in the countries represented here joined with us, for example, in greatly increasing the exchanges of our youth, so that they would understand from personal experience how precious are the ties which bind us together. I've often thought all the young people in the world could get to know each other. I don't think anyone would ever be able to produce a war again. So I believe strongly that when you own the University of South Carolina are sponsoring is not only for a strategic and noble end, but that you've chosen the right means. Your action is in the spirit of Western tradition, namely the right and indeed the duty of private citizens to act on their own initiative to serve important purposes of the community. The community you seek to serve comprises nearly one billion free citizens who carry with them the hopes of mankind. Gentlemen, I salute you and I. Wish you Godspeed in this historic enterprise, and I assure you of my warm understanding and support for your efforts. I mentioned in my remarks here our own stepping up of the encouragement of a private initiative in these days. And last year we saw the results of that. We set an all-time record for private financial contributions to worthy causes and charities and so forth. $79.8 billion, which is more than the national budget, so over two-thirds of the country's in the world. And it's just going back to an early pioneer heritage, where the people don't wait anymore or don't automatically turn and look for a government to do it, they see it properly, and the next thing you know, a committee has been formed. They go after it. So, well, again, as I say, heart and soul are interested in this. I appreciate what you said, Mr. President. I'm going to introduce you for a contribution. I've got a whole five minutes. I can stay here. Well, maybe we could get one of our friends from my demon to talk about what they're doing, man. James, sir. Good morning, David. Good morning, David. He had his shot. Why don't you give us a little perspective? Yes. Well, Mr. President, I listen very carefully to what you have to say, and I agree so much with what you say. And I think it is up to the private sector and the private individuals to play that whole part. What has happened, I think, in recent years is that the generation of which most of us are on this table for a part have had good connections and have understood the problems. But we now talk to ourselves, and I doubt very much whether we actually disseminate what we think down to a lower generation or a new generation that's coming up, either lucky enough, 25, 30 years ago, to have a Smith-Mont foreign leader come to this country. And that made an enormous impression upon me, and there's a never-be-ever sense to keep contacts with friends here that otherwise I never would have made. Now, I doubt whether, and that's an example of an Englishman who would have always had close contacts with American friends, but I doubt whether the same thing is happening now in the way that it should, with a new generation of politicians, a new generation of businessmen and public leaders throughout the Western world. And again, I think we have now a number of institutions where we talk from country to country. For example, in Britain had a very good relationship through the mechanics went to conference with Germany. Now, that was instrumental, I think, in helping us to become a member of the European community. But since that time, it's really rather lost some of its impact. And I think that sort of institution needs to be renewed and helped by a greater institution, a foundation, which could, as it were, draw these things together rather more, and disseminate that information to a much larger and wider group of people than was possibly perhaps 30 or 30 years ago. And so I think from Great Britain's point of view, we want to play our part. We are ready to play our part. I think St. David came to see me nearly two years ago on this particular subject. And I think that we should certainly wish to support fully what we're doing. We have a slight problem in that our laws regarding the giving of my charity in order to get tax relief on the gift restrict us very much to an educational background. We can't do it for anywhere to be over political purposes. And so we have to be a little bit careful in a way that we would join in your endeavor here. But I don't think that would be something we can't overcome, but it's something we have to watch all the time. We've got the same restrictions. We've got the same restrictions here. Some, but it isn't fundamentally what we're talking about education. When we're really talking about educating our teachers to teach Western values and Western community, we're talking about educating our politicians to get to know each other and to communicate that as long as we express it in that way, we can all fall apart. We've been having some problems education-wise. And some of you have a poll watching this about remembering the war. I was shocked the other day when some people interested in this, and we've been moving. It's not just standing in static in education. We've found that some of our college students, and given the names Hitler and Churchill, couldn't identify who they were or what, where they figured in history. And forgive me some of you here, but they also found that they could not point on a map to England, France, or Germany. They couldn't locate them on another map. So it was a little neglected. Geography, they could do a lot of other things, but we're moving to on that. And the other hand, I encourage you, one of these, a couple of years ago when the economic channel was in Germany, and I was taken up to a castle where there was a great youth meeting going on, and there were 10,000 young Germans. And I spoke to them with an interpreter, interpreting everything that I said, and when that finished, I couldn't have said another word because suddenly 10,000 young Germans in my language sang our national anthem. And then there was a delegation of them waiting to talk to me actively. And what they wanted to know was, why couldn't there be more student exchanges? Why couldn't more of our children go there and there are young people come here? And so I came home fired up to find out why. You know, there are a lot of people that believe that the break of Egypt when they, Sadat got together, if you remember with the Israelis, that that had its genesis when Sadat came to the United States on the exchange program in the 1950s and it covered his whole belief about this country from that day forward. You used to talk about that. I really do believe that it works. One of the principle things of this whole project was the student exchange program and the movement of the Soviets to do such a much better job getting students into the Soviet Union than we do by a hundred-fold. We need to do a much better job of that than we have to do. And you know, even there, their youth, Suzanne Massey, who was in and out of Russia and connected with the Harvard School of Russian Studies and so forth, was here the other day. And she was telling me about what she was seeing and her experiences over there. She speaks fluent Russian and has done a number of books on Russian history and so forth. She said the young people in Russia don't have any place to hang out like our young people do. There are no things of that kind. She found out what their substitute is. It's the bank of the river. She said they gathered out to the thousands and just sit there and watch the bridges go up to the whole thing and so forth. But she said this last trip, she was amazed. They were all wearing blue jeans and tennis shoes and so forth. And she even saw some of them doing what's called break dancing here. They were probably in New York and all of this. She was amazed at this, but she was more amazed when an old gang of them started singing in English. The song that was the revolutionary song here in this country a few years ago, we shall overcome. Where they found or learned it. And she said there's something stirring there and those young people that need to take a band with it. I think so. I'd be tired of them all, so that'd be great. Mr. President, we know you have to leave, but if you will recall, because of your interest in the youth exchange, we started the President's International Youth Exchange, which you took up at the very size summit with the other economic summit countries. We tried out the idea by having each head of state designate some people who came to Paris in May just before the June summit. It looked like it would work. You took it up to the summit. It did work. We put the thing together. We've had over 15,000 American exchange students participate in thousands of others. We strive with seven companies for up to 20 some now. We raised over $4 million probably. We had a committee of over a hundred large national corporations. It might be that those summit leaders recognized the shared values and their relevance to these stirring times are embodied in the same thing we're talking about. Perhaps at your next economic summit, we can pull these things together and have these heads of state endorse the private sector to go forward with these values that are enshrined in why we're all free countries and in selling this thing, promoting the kinds of funds we need and the type of motivation and commitment from others. I think this thing would really fly very well if you feel that that would be something that you could earnestly advocate. Well, yes, I can. And you might go up against the number. I am just the next few minutes going to speak to a group that's called the National Fraternal Organization, made up of some 200 various organizations. And it's 100 years old, celebrating its 100th anniversary. And it is dedicated to this whole private thing. And now, for the first time, in France, shortly, there is going to be an international meeting on the whole subject of privatization and this type of thing. November 24th. I know I have to go, but just to tell you, since we mentioned, we know that philosophy is opposed to what we're talking about here. And he said, well, suppose it was a politician? She said, that explains it. Science would have tried it on mice first. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you all. I'm sorry. Thank you. It encompasses the fundamental concept of caring, upon which all of our societies are based. Fraternalism are supported of your grass root private sector initiative. Last year, a lot of our communities have been affected by this. We've had a lot of people who have been affected. We've had a lot of people who have been affected. Last year, at least a million hours, a volunteer service to their communities. And you can see why we are justly proud of this. The situation does remind me of a story. I find that increasingly things remind me of stories. This was one about the fellow that was the only survivor of the gender that he said, oh, that'll be fine with me. And he told us here what he'd been doing all these years speaking about that great... That fellow's second on the left in the first row is named Noah. And each year, as you have been told, you are members of your vote. It's now 36 million hours of volunteer work. Early in the last century, the French observer Alexis de Côteville wrote these words about volunteer efforts in America and our country. On behalf of the grateful nation, I commend you. And if I may say so, I think you owe yourselves a round of applause. But now, since as I said a moment ago, you're experts on tourism in our society. As a result, an international conference on private sector initiatives will be taking place in Paris-France this month. This ought to... In fact, I don't, and I don't think you, intend to rest until Nicaragua at last experiences true freedom and democracy. Here at home, a profound change is the success in foreign policy and newly patriotic and self-confident nation. Why should this be? Well, the quote you necessary, in order to defend our Republic and demonstrate to friends and adversaries alike the seriousness of our arms. Yet beyond all the programs, there's something more basic and round by junkies. They're the people who pay higher insurance rates because of such robberies. And they're the people who pay higher prices for goods of all kinds because drugs in the workplace have illegal drug use. As I've said before, no drug network will remain alive. But the point I want to stress before you today is that while government can accomplish certain that you've been doing since 1971, I know that the organizations represented here, as I say, are already in command you for that. And I'm grateful to know that we can continue to count on your support in the months to come. So please, continue helping all Americans say no to drugs. Mr. President, we have a plaque for you here, and I'd like to read it for presenting it to you. The national paternal... President, this is Corporal David Nies. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. We're going back to the Greenberg Station. Well, thank you for everything here. Good luck to you. Shall we... Thank you. Sometimes you may put on civilian clothes for the next time or something. Yes, sir. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Mr. President, for your good friends, Lynn, Don, Sonny, Mr. President. Nice to see you. Why don't we turn around here and get a picture? Why don't you get one here? Thank you. Thank you.  Oh, she's told us what all the time she says. How great it is. How wonderful you've been. Good morning. Hello, Mr. President. Mr. President. This is Ed, Julie Fawley. This is Kate. Kate? This is Abigail. This is Jed. This is my wife, Julie. This is President. Oh, that would be terrific. You're all in front, in the middle of it. Here we go. That way, there we go. That looks terrific. Look up. How does this little clip shine? No, it doesn't. Are you fine? I'm nice. Well, now, I know that this is a belated goodbye because I know you're all already in place of me. I'm at work. There's a little charm. What are you saying, girl? Thank you. Thank you so much. And a tie bar for you. How about that? Thank you very much. It's just a little souvenir of the Oval Office. I appreciate it. I feel guilty taking your valuable time, but it gives me an opportunity to say thank you for the opportunities and the experience I've had, and doing it because these people have made sacrifices. The missed dinners and the weekends and the late hours, and I wanted to let them have a chance to say hello and tell you what a fantastic opportunity it's been, how proud you are to be able to help you do what you do. Well, thank you very much, and thank you for all that you've done and what you're continuing to do over. Now, it's just another building. All right, sir. He's worked very hard, for our country, for you both to grow up in. What were you going to say to him? Mrs. Reagan. Tell her that we all don't take care of her. So we say no, right? You say no, just say no. All right, I think that's all that's right. Dad, just say no back. She'll be very happy to hear that baby. Okay. Thank you very much. What happened to the hand? Oh, we never fell in love. Yesterday? I didn't know when I broke my mom. He didn't down me, and they weren't smart. Hmm. Fortunately, she's left-handed, so she can still do her homework. What, Steve and Steve Jr., Jackson? The president you can see is Steve. My family, this is my son, Steve, and my husband, Steve. They can't want Steve. I know who you're supposed to smile on. Thank you. There you go. I appreciate all that you've been doing, and I miss you. Did you think that? You can probably figure out what these are already. This is a little souvenir for you. Oh, thank you very much. No, thank you very much. This, it's really too early for him. But it's for him. But it's a giant, with a seal on it, and inside the jar are jelly beans. Oh, Steve. When you go to the family meat stage, what does it, will your dentist think of that, Steve? Well, we appreciate so much. Enjoy working for you, and we appreciate you doing this, too. As you know, the family is the one that doesn't get to do the fun things or anything, so we appreciate you having us in the days. Yes, we do. We're not a little bunch of play-down men and making some sports celebrities. There. Yes. We're very good. Well, thank you very much. Appreciate it. Appreciate that. Thank you. Can you say bye-bye to the President? Can you say bye-bye?  Oh, thank you very much. Thank you, sir.


Antarctica, one of the world's most mysterious continents, home to one of the largest and driest deserts on the planet, covering an area of around 5.5 million square miles. If there was anywhere on Earth where crashed, preserved, ancient alien technologies could still be found, it would be here. An untouched landscape, which may in all possibility be the final resting place as of yet unretrieved relics, which may have been stranded there to this day. The deep sea which surrounds Antarctica, for example, are some of the most difficult and inhospitable environments to explore anywhere. Far away from the modern world, deep within the frigid pitch-black waters of this massive chunk of ice, where our next discovery was miraculously made, an out-of-place artifact which is still resting at the bottom of this sea. Known as the Eltanan Antenna, if it wasn't for the brute strength of the nearly 2,000-ton ice-breaking vessel known as the Eltanan, we may never have found it. Initially, a US Navy cargo-carrying icebreaker, in 1962, she was reclassified as an oceanographic research ship and became the world's first dedicated Antarctic research vessel. On 29 August 1964, while collecting sample cores and photographing the seabed west of Cape Horn, the Eltanan took the first known photograph of the Antenna at a depth of nearly 4,000 meters. The first public mention of the unusual object would not surface for several months. A news item which appeared in the New Zealand Herald on 5 December 1964. After the heading, puzzle picture from the seabed would briefly disclose the discovery, yet any further exploratory missions, if indeed there has been any, have been operating in secret. Similar to the Baltic Sea anomaly, yet positioned at a far deeper depth in an extremely remote, cold and lonely part of our world, it too shows all the hallmarks of an artificially created object. The question is, what could it be? And more importantly, what was or is its function? In 1968, author Brad Steiger wrote an article for Saga Magazine in which he claimed that the Eltanan had in fact photographed, quote, an astonishing piece of machinery, very much like the cross between a TV antenna and a telemetry antenna, end quote. It is interesting to note that the Black Knight satellite, an anomalous object which is in a polar orbit, has been declared by numerous investigators throughout history as an artificial alien satellite, and with what appears to be an enormous alien antenna resting on the Antarctic seafloor, is it possible that the two are connected? Or possibly, in communication with each other? In 2003, Tom DeMerry, a researcher in underwater acoustics, contacted oceanographer A.F. Amos, a member of the Eltanans crew in the 1960s, in an effort to debunk any theory involving artificial design. In turn, Amos referred DeMerry to the 1971 book The Face of the Deep by Bruce C. Heeson and Charles D. Hollister. It seems Hollister had already attempted to identify the mysterious object as a carnivorous sea sponge. However, these attempts to discredit any unusual hypothesis was solely based on the same photographs we are privileged to. Further photographic exploration of the object, if undertaken, has been done in complete isolation from the public. What is the Eltanan antenna? A mere sea sponge? An actual alien antenna? Whatever it is, it seems certain fields of study would like you to believe it's natural. Regardless of whether confirmation of such claims was made, we always find this highly compelling. We recently discussed a curious find, discovered within the tundras of Antarctica. An enigmatic anomaly, seemingly sliding to a halt on the ice caps of the South Pole. We noticed the inaccessibility of the landmass, now permanently encased in over two miles of ice, capable of challenging the most experienced of Venturer. It is a place little explored, yet regardless of this inhospitality, if it could be proven to possess any trace or series of ancient ruins, then it would prove, beyond doubt, that our continued posit that there exists a paradigm within historic academia and that there is indeed a huge chapter of our history now lost, the knowledge of our origins, and these said paradigms would be proven as incorrect. For if there exists a now lost ancient civilization frozen and preserved beneath these ice caps, not only would their age be enormous, but their ruins a true testament to their capabilities. There are many ancient ruins here on our Earth, which we believe are undoubtedly older than we are now told. The Great Pyramids, the gigantic megaliths found at Baobach in Jordan, Yangshan Quarry in China, all these ruins, and many more, could be far older than we are currently being taught, and their erosion-resistant characteristics will indeed ensure their existence far into the future. Many internet sleuths traw pictures of not only Antarctica, but the reels of photos sent back by the Mars Rovers, searching for ancient signs of life, and although many of the claimed ruins in Antarctica remained sketchy and little photographed, the next item of interest we find incredibly curious, and one of the driving reasons for this, is due to these possible ruins' similarities to one of the most impenetrable of them all, the fortress of Saxa Huaman. However, what makes this image of a possible outer wall truly special is its possible scale. If indeed factually true, and this is indeed the remnants of an ancient fortress outer barrier, it would be over two miles in length. With the continent of Antarctica being a frozen tundra for over 20 million years, if these claimed ruins turned out to indeed be of artificial origins, it would undoubtedly force the age of man back by many millions of years. We hope more is done to explore the true nature of this curious feature. Even if it is nothing but a landmass, it is unquestionably highly compelling. Hey guys, so recently first ranked captain Vladimir Prykhodko, the chairman of Russian public research organization for underwater studies, has publicly spoken in regards to Russia, the US and China spending billions in space, when maybe they should be spending the money deep in the sea under the glistening polar ice caps, where he claims gigantic alien machines are hidden. And he's not the only one. Since World War II, whistleblowers from governmental bodies all over the world have been lifting the lid in regards to the fact that alien crafts are being tracked, traveling from the top of the planet to the bottom, within our oceans and above. During the naval operation known as Deep Freeze, men aboard a Russian icebreaker would later testify to witnessing a craft, surged through 10-foot-thick ice, flinging huge chunks in all directions, a silver vessel then shooting off into the atmosphere. Dr. Rubens Dizviela, a famous arctic explorer, was among those who testified to witnessing the terrifying event. Upon exiting the ice cold waters, he stated that steam erupted from the body of the craft, indicating the huge amount of energy these mysterious USOs possess. In 1997, pre-Codeco said, Belling's Gauzin Depression, near the Antarctic area, was examined by the Australian Army at a depth of over 6 kilometers, where cameras recorded strange oval objects which emitted an intense interior light. The film was reviewed by experts from the Royal Institute of Oceanology. Their conclusions were that the structures were of artificial origin. Russian naval vessels also report often tracking submerged dishes, traveling in excess of 150 knots or 280 miles per hour underwater. Former USSR Captain Vladimir Azaza, head of the navigational section of the Oceanographic Commission, said when questioned that about 50% of encounters with UFOs are connected with the oceans and 15% are connected with lakes, making a huge portion of close encounters in the form of unidentified submerged objects rather than flying. That these mysterious events are caused by or indeed what the mysterious craft are beneath the ice cap remains a closely guarded secret, with only handfuls of whistleblowers ever coming forward, yet they all stress the same thing, that we are not alone on this planet. Our conjecture that there is a lost yet once highly advanced ancient civilization could be proven beyond doubt by one continent in particular. Antarctica, for many millennia, this land has been encased, perfectly preserved, laying beneath miles of ancient ice. The Piri-Rees map, something which we have discussed in the past, has long been argued to prove just that, long claimed as showing that of the landmass of Antarctica free of ice. If true, it would have been impossible to have created, according to modern paradigm, thought to have originated from the embers of the great fire of Alexandria, this catastrophe, a tragic loss to man's understanding of our own origins. Yet this map survived, clearly displaying what many believe to be the continent of Antarctica, before becoming what is now a frozen ice cap at the pole of our planet. It is now an incredibly inhospitable place, one of the reasons we feel there may be intact, undisturbed ruins, which may dot the land, known to be the driest place on Earth. And in addition to this compelling possibility of submerged yet highly advanced ruins, there may be many other unexplained anomalies that due to their incredibly remote geographical placement across some of the world's now most impenetrable natural obstacles, recording some of the lowest temperatures on Earth. If proven beyond doubt to exist, would be proof of a preserved pre-ice age existence for advanced man. Yet due to this immense cold, and the fact that it is a largely unexplored tundra capable of killing even the most experienced of explorers, many things which rest here remain unexplored. Yet just like that of the face of the moon, one must ask the question, just what could be laying there, buried within or resting upon this giant ice sheet many miles deep? Objects just like the anomalies discovered in Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947, which although strongly argued by officials as that of a United States Army Air Force's balloon which crashed at tremendous velocity at a ranch near Roswell, which many claim was in fact a UFO which crashed, would inevitably be covered up by whatever power was capable of not only visiting such anomaly, but retrieving it. Crashing into the seemingly endless tundra and our next item of interest could behold just as controversial in origin as that of the causation for what many claim as the Roswell conspiracy, a truth so controversial only top military personnel would be privy to. This remarkable image taken by satellite clearly displays an as yet unexplored anomaly, resting at the basin of a hilltop it presumably crashed into, with its velocity upon impact sliding the mysterious object down the side of the mountain. When other such objects have been discovered in the past, indeed in the same way as that of amateur sleuths, pouring over satellite images looking for these exact features, military vehicles have been later snapped at these same locations, unquestionable proof of the world's government's interest in such discoveries, not only due to the environment, but also its remoteness. Indeed in permanently frozen areas could mean that if such objects do indeed turn out to be that of an alien craft, could also be in a condition to be successfully reversed engineered if not repaired by man. A technological explosion would inevitably occur, a lucrative operation indeed, so we find it curious that several such events have been claimed to have occurred since 1947. Could this also be positive to be as a result of this exact claim scenario, discovered, retrieved, reverse engineered and finally either adapted for military purpose or commercial profits? What is this thing laying far away in the frozen Antarctic? Is it indeed a crashed alien vehicle? We find the anomaly highly compelling. There are countless conspiracy theories, which have been created over the years regarding not only the coldest, but also the most remote unforgiving continent on Earth, Antarctica.  Cities buried miles beneath the ice in a state of perfect preservation. Although we feel this may be an unlikely possibility, there could indeed be undeniable evidence of a past existence still buried under the ice if indeed they were there at all, for one can never really be sure about the Periris map. But today this is a very unforgiving place, even sparking the inspiration for arguably one of the best science fiction movies of all time, The Thing. Stories of UFOs crashing into this incredibly remote landscape, some in which we have covered in the past focused in upon by the channel due to the fact that an expedition was indeed made to a particular anomaly to a feature one indicative of a high-speed crash into the frozen tundra. This site was successfully traveled to within what we presume would have been a mobile laboratory, clearly undertaken by a well-equipped group, one who clearly didn't expect others to have spotted the site via satellite also. So they can clearly be seen via satellite imagery, arriving at said crash. A tremendous effort to make at tremendous expense, thus a strange effort for any known human-built craft unquestionably made at great expense. Illogical for a man-made craft, even that of secret technology, but for an alien craft, such efforts could be logically argued as a realistic motive for whoever this team was funded by to make the mission to the site. And there are, indeed, undeniably, some rather intriguing stories which still hover around a number of still classified, still unreleased confidential files regarding events within the Arctic Circle. Known by a number of individuals who also claim to have been a part of said mission, a mission known as Operation High Jump was an event during a battle within the Arctic Circle with what could only be described as flying saucers. But alas, due to the fact that Americans have never publicly released any details regarding the operation, we can merely speculate. However, a story which surfaced on ancientcode.com, a website we have long supported as a superb source of antiquarian knowledge, a story accompanied by what we think, you will agree, are some of the most incredible images ever taken of UFOs, specifically unexplained anti-gravitational craft in flight ever captured. Available thanks to John Greenwald from The Black Vault, who in turn received the incredible images from researcher Alex Mistretta. According to the website, quote, the photos here displayed are evidence of a close encounter between forces of the United States Navy and unidentified flying objects on the edge of the Arctic Ocean in March 1971, end quote. Are we witnessing the destruction of anti-gravitational alien craft, an alien encounter, or quite possibly weapons testing events targeting reverse engineered alien technology? The images are, according to said sources, from the mission USS Tripang, SSN 674. Our postulations as to what these images reveal are based upon our own logically presumed direction, in which American and many other advanced military nations would take if one were presented with a crashed craft powered by said technologies. These military bodies would indeed pursue the reverse engineering of said technologies. Then secondarily, develop defense systems which were effective upon said technologies. These are, of course, merely mystery histories ponderings in regards to what these images could truly be showing us, and, of course, said hypothesis could indeed be incorrect. Yet regardless, the question remains, then what do these images reveal? What are pictured within? Regardless of the purpose of the mission, we find the possible theories surrounding the photographs highly compelling. One of the world's most mysterious continents, home to one of the largest and driest deserts on the planet, covering an area of around five and a half million square miles. If there was anywhere on Earth where crashed, preserved, ancient alien technologies could still be found, it would be here. An untouched landscape, which may in all possibility be the final resting place as of yet unretrieved relics, which may have been stranded there to this day. The deep sea which surrounds Antarctica, for example, are some of the most difficult and inhospitable environments to explore anywhere. Far away from the modern world, deep within the frigid pitch black waters of this massive chunk of ice where our next discovery was miraculously made. An out-of-place artifact, which is still resting at the bottom of this sea. Known as the Eltanan Antenna, if it wasn't for the brute strength of the nearly 2,000 ton ice-breaking vessel known as the Eltanan, we may never have found it. The Eltanan took the first known photograph of the Antenna at a depth of nearly 4,000 meters. Very much like the cross between a TV antenna and a telemetry antenna. It is interesting to note that the Black Knight satellite, an anomalous object which is in a polar orbit, has been declared by numerous investigators throughout history as an artificial alien satellite and with what appears to be an enormous alien antenna resting on the Antarctic seafloor, is it possible that the two are connected? Or possibly, in communication with each other? The team were completely dwarfed by the mysterious object which is about 60 meters in diameter and lying almost 80 meters down on the bottom of the Baltic Sea. There are visible formations on top of the object which are set at a 90 degree angle and look like passageways or walls, as well as something that looks like it could be a staircase. The Baltic Sea anomaly is an anomaly in the best sense of the term. It is a 70 meter long object, with numerous sharp edges and right angles prevalent throughout its structure, with a set of stairs on one side, as if deployed from its shape and left to ruin. Sonar has also found drag marks behind the object, samples have confirmed it is made of metal, geologist Steve Weiner said that according to his tests, the object was not a geological formation, suggesting that the structure was in fact made from metals which nature could not reproduce itself. Electrical equipment also has mysterious issues when near to the anomaly. Professional diver. Stefan Hageborn, part of the OceanX team said, anything electric out there, and the satellite phone as well, stopped working when we were above the object, then when we got away about 200 meters, it turned on again. Lindbergh isn't convinced that the object is actually an ET spacecraft. In response to one question about what the object might be, Lindbergh responded, I think it is very odd in its shape. It is tough to give an explanation as to what it might be exactly, since different scientists had many different theories. Whatever it is, it is something we do not usually find in nature. Going in the dark cold depths of the Baltic Sea, it is thought to be over 140,000 years old, OceanX is currently investigating the object, I will keep you updated. Biggest skeptic, I was kind of prepared of finding just a stone, for me it has been an amazing experience I must say.


Okay, so now we have crossing over that results in diversity. We have independent assortment that results in diversity. And then think about the fact that even if we didn't cross over and we had 8 million possible eggs that I could make and the fellas have 8 million possible sperm that they could make, not only do we have all of that diversity, then have randomly, you are going to get different kids depending on which gametes get fertilized by whom. So check it out. If you have this little, this sperm was the lucky sperm that made it to this egg, you're going to end up with a fertilized zygote that has genetics that look like this. If you randomly pick a different set of eggs and sperm, check that out, we're going to end up with different zygotes. Here are all my possible zygotes from just four possible sperm and four possible eggs. It really is kind of mind boggling. That's it. Actually, I mean it's super mind boggling, but it's pretty straightforward. Random fertilization isn't a process of meiosis. Meiosis produces the gametes that then random fertilization is going to produce the genetic diversity, which hopefully, you're like, why do we care? We'll have a fatty explanation of that, why we care about genetic diversity when we get to the last lecture in the series that is on sexual reproduction and parasites. That's why we care about genetic diversity, trust me. All right, let's do an animation walkthrough of the process of meiosis, just to remind ourselves where we are. Now you know why we do it so that we can generate genetic diversity and have the right amount of DNA. Review.
