Super-powered people are inexplicably rising from the streets, and there's a big problem. Too many supervillains, not enough superheroes. People are dying, and cops are dying too full. Humanity is underpowered, and good people are suffering untold tragedies trying to stem the flow. Beat cop Leo Winters is one of those struggling to make a difference, and the solution just might come in the form of two lowlives with a dark secret. But there are only villains.  Hey everybody, welcome to another exciting episode, another edition of A Week in Geek Them Here on YouTube. This time we're talking Boom Studios' Suicide Risk Volume 1. This was an unexpected treat. This was a complete blind purchase. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but when you find it at such a ridiculous price, really, cover price, $9.99, and I would at least do a video for you guys whether I liked it or not. So yeah, what did I think of Boom Studios' Suicide Risk? Well, it's very different than what I was expecting, especially because I went by the cover image, which you can see here. I thought this was this gritty police drama, sort of like a sheriff of Babylon type thing from Tom King. No, it's something completely different.  It's pretty badass, and I think you guys are going to enjoy the heck out of it. Basically in a nutshell, there are super-powered people in this alternate world and not enough heroes. Every people, every super-powered individual that comes up turns to evil, whether it's because of a social norm or whether it's a psychological thing, that is to be explored or analyzed, but that's just the norm in this world. And there are very few superheroes, practically none, and the ones that are are either converted into villains or killed or captured or something happens to them. So the police is really having a tough time, and in comes one of the best opening scenes for a comic book that I've read in a while. I really enjoyed this opening act where you have this cop, Leo Winters, being interviewed as to what happened and then via flashback we're being told what actually happened when he was trying to stop the supervillains from pulling off a heist and taking some hostages and all that stuff. One of his partners gets gravely injured, other cops die, and civilians get in the way. Action packed, top to bottom, great cast of characters, very diverse roster. No one feels the same, and that is actually really good. In a massive world of cape and cows that we read constantly, sometimes it all becomes a blur. Yes, you understand the heroes and you understand what they're dealing with. Most of the B, C, and D-listers get lost in the shuffle, especially the civilian characters. Now with a book like this, like I just mentioned, it's very diverse. You've got Leo's family of Indian descent, and you've got other characters of different nationalities, and it really spies it up and brings this world to life. Mike Harry does a really good job of balancing the tonality between super heroics and gritty cop drama because at the end of the day this is sort of, yeah, this is just a police story, a crime story that just so happens to have super powered individuals. Some of the plot elements are borrowed from different comic books and different movies and stuff that you might have already read about or seen, but they're done really well. They are highly complimented by the work of Elena Casagrande. The art is spectacular, one of the biggest selling points. Like I mentioned, the cover fooled me because I was thinking it was going to go down a very dark, grim and gritty route, and it's actually quite a colorful book. I love the character of Leo Winters and his expressions, as well as everybody else's, is really fun to look at. You get to see the gruesomeness when there's an attack, and you get to see this fantastic side when characters are using their superpowers, and Elena does a fantastic job of bringing that to life on paper. I really enjoy the artwork. So yeah, Suicide Risk Volume 1 is a book that is a little methodical, it's smart, it's a little bit dark, but it knows when to have fun and when to show you a good time, even though the subject matter might be a little rough sometimes, but stick with it because I think you're going to like it. The first book only has the first four issues, and I am in. Unfortunately, out of the six volumes, Volume 5 will be the hardest to get because it is extremely out of print and I cannot find it anywhere, so if you guys know where I can get it, please let me know down below or write to my email listed down in the notes. I don't really understand why Boom would keep this title out of print. I think it's a fantastic book that everybody should try out. If you like your cop drama, if you like real issues with characters dealing with the consequences of crime and when you are empowered and what you do with those powers and the responsibility. There's a very famous saying in comic books and I think you guys know what I'm talking about. So yeah, with this great power that all of these guys have, there must come a bigger responsibility and this book exemplifies that quite brilliantly with the character of Leo who he isn't the best character, he's not a saint, he has his problems, but he's trying to avenge his friend after what happened in that heist supervillain throwdown and he is going to do some detective work and get down to the bottom of it. So yeah, suicide risk, a really cool start. You do get to find out where these superpowers come from and I don't want to spoil it but I kind of hinted at it at the beginning of the video. Our main hero gets a major upgrade and there's more to it in the following issues. When you're reading suicide risk, there's a point in the story where you've got to take a look at everything and go wow, this is really trippy, this is a bizarro world where superheroes don't really exist, you know, so it presents a real dilemma as to how the hell do you fight off supervillains when all you've got are cops and regular human beings and you've got to level the playing field. Either you find their weakness or you do something drastic and I think the book really does a good job of examining those issues and how the ramifications, I should say, of supervillains and the destruction that these powers can leave behind. When I do my second video on suicide risk, I will review from volume two onwards all in one big package, spoiler field and all that stuff, so look forward to that eventually. But for now, just know that, like I mentioned, if you want this dark, gritty, super heroic book with real world issues and complex characters and great writing too from Mike Carey, excellent artwork, then yeah, suicide risk volume one, I highly, highly recommend it. Tell me down below if you like this book, if you've read it, if not, let me know what is your favorite cop drama comic book related, not TV. Your favorite cop drama, let me know down below as well. Guys thank you so much, as always you can follow me on your favorite social media platform and if you've got a question, if you've got any sort of inquiry, just write to my email aweekandgeekthematgmail.com and I will happily answer back as soon as humanly possible. So guys, thank you once again and I will catch all of you on our next episode. Mike Carey does a really good, Mike Carey does Mike Carey write this, yeah.


My name is Walter Monk, M-U-N-K, and I'm a professor of oceanography at Scripps and have been here since over 70 years. I have a special chair, endowed by the Secretary of the Navy, and I've held that chair for about 30 years. And the first Allied initiative in fighting back was to be a amphibious landing in northwest Africa. And I was working in the Pentagon and learned about practice landings in Carolina, being carried out with new kinds of landing craft named LCBPs, Landing Craft Vehicle and Personnel, boats that would come into the beach and then drop the bow and people would run out of the bow onto the beach and establish a beachhead and learned and found that when the waves exceeded five feet height that the landing craft would broach, turn parallel to the beach, waves would break into the landing craft. People would get hurt and exercise would be secured waiting for a day with calmer conditions. And I went back to find out about typical wave heights in northwest Africa in winter and found they exceeded six feet. And I wondered what would happen if under those conditions and I asked my commanding officer about that and he told me to just forget about it because he was sure that the authorities had to consider that and I should do what I was told. I was 25 and had no reputation and no background, very junior. But I couldn't quite forget about it so I telephoned Harald Svedup whom I had met for two summers who had become my teacher and begged him to come out and he very kindly took the next flight and we sat together for about a month in the Pentagon to try and figure out how we could predict waves so that everyone could pick a relatively calm day for the exercise. It seemed like the only possible solution and after months we were satisfied that this could be done and Harald Svedup had a major reputation in the world. And we were permitted to participate in the planning and to predict the waves of the landing beaches and to pick relatively calm two days and the landings took place under relatively good conditions.


Inequality is an incredibly complicated phenomena. All of these different dimensions, location, family, age, what I'm going to focus on is one set of dimensions of inequality, which are intrinsically temporal. Think about a society in which half of the population is rich and half of the population is poor. The children of the poor are always poor and the children of the rich are always rich. Contrast that with a different society. But this one has a very unusual social structure. The children of the rich are always poor. The children of the poor are always rich. Notice in both of them, family determines destiny, but it does it in very different ways. But it's not clear that that's the best way to think about mobility. Suppose it's the case that it doesn't matter what your parents are like, it's 50-50 whether you'll be rich or poor. You might say that the society where there's no predictability of the children given the parents, that's an extremely mobile society, but I think most people would prefer society one. In other words, in thinking about mobility, there is a deep issue in asymmetries. Our ethical considerations have to do with the desire to make sure that people who are less advantaged are not unduly inhibiting the possibilities for their children, and it's a very distinct question to ask whether or not more successful families can lock in success. Measuring mobility is not an obvious thing. There's many different ways we may want to characterize mobility, and part of the complication is deciding which mobility statistics are the ones that are ethically or policy salient. Being concerned about the mobility in society, it often has to do with the concept of equality of opportunity, an argument that we want a society to be one in which there are large opportunities for individuals outside the accident, as it said, of birth. Sometimes it's, in fact, argued that there's a conflict between equality of opportunity and equality of outcomes, whether or not a society which has very broad opportunities for individuals is also one that's going to generate substantial degrees of inequality cross-sectionally. This is sometimes even referred to as an explanation of American exceptionalism. It's kind of an old chestnut problem in social science as why does the United States have a less generous social welfare state than Europe, and one of the classic arguments was that Americans prefer opportunity, mobility, to that of equality of outcomes. There are not good reasons to believe that there is a trade-off between mobility and inequality. In other words, in my discussions of mobility, I'm not going to be implicitly saying that one is not interested in inequality cross-sectionally, or am I going to say that mobile societies are logically ones that have higher degrees of inequality. Now, why do I emphasize this? It's because the idea that there are equity efficiency trade-offs, these types of phrases that often appear in public policy discussions, I don't think have strong justifications. They aren't true at a theoretical level. If you asked me as an economist, can I write down a mathematical model that generates a situation where the more mobile the society is, the more unequal it is? The answer is yes, and there could be explanations for that, but I could just as easily come up with different explanations that had them move together. But perhaps most important, I want to emphasize there's no evidence, at least at a very aggregated level, that you have to trade them off. Economist Miles Korak took a measure across different economies of the degree of mobility, or I should say in this case the degree of persistence between parents and children, and he took another measure of cross-sectional inequality and he simply asked, what do they look like if you correlate them? And what he found was that societies that have high levels of inequality also have low levels of mobility. In contrast, the societies that were very concentrated in terms of having relatively narrow income distributions, they also were more mobile. And so the reason the Greg Gatsby curve is of interest is it says something about the relationship between the subject for these lectures which is mobility and the other phenomena we care about which is cross-sectional inequality. I think the key thing that we want to focus on is the extent to which one sees persistence within the life course. In other words, whether certain successes, certain achievements at one age make other successes other achievements more likely later on. And so one example of that would be relative status. A question one could ask is that suppose that an individual is in the lower part of the income distribution at one age, how likely is it that they're going to move out? There's one reason why you might think it's very likely, and that is simply because the wage trajectory for individuals is increasing in age and so you would think that individuals, as they get older, they make more and they shift in the income distribution. If you say to think that relative status has to be persistent, nevertheless, the data actually is very suggestive of substantial persistence. If you look at individuals in the bottom 20% of the income distribution, how likely were they to be in that same location four years later? And what you see, of course, is that it was almost two out of three that they would be in the bottom quintile and conversely, extremely unlikely to be in the top 20%. Interestingly, these data do not suggest that there was much of a temporal change between 76 to 80 in 2010 to 2014, and that's another thing one wants to think about in measuring mobility. One question is to look at a society over the last 50 years, 60 years, and others to ask in shorter time units has there been evolution of the degrees of mobility? And that's a topic I will say a bit more about later. A second example of intergenerational persistence, I'm going to call education, and thinking about education as a stepping stone. One question to ask is, if I have parents that are relatively unafluent, what does that do to me in terms of the next stage of life? Does that lock me into different types of colleges? And so there the evidence is very strong, and that is there's a very strong substantial relationship between the type of college the individual attends, whether they attend college, and their family background. This is from Raj Chetty's and Nathan Hendred's team at Harvard, and so what these interesting calculations demonstrate is the extraordinary extent to which elite universities are dominated, at least in enrollments, by children from the top 1%. That tells you something about the first stage, parental income would be get college quality. The second observation to make is that if you look at the graduation rates for students, the more selective the college, the higher the graduation rate. So that's what I mean by lock-in. First thing that happens is the parental income affects where you attend school. Second thing that happens is where you attend school affects the probability of graduation. And of course I could go on. The next thing that's going to happen after college graduation is persistent effects in the labor market. And so I just want to put on the table this idea that you have substantial lock-in across trajectories for individuals. The second example that I think is worth thinking about is early childhood investment. There is substantial and I think empirically compelling evidence that early childhood investments, when the programs are of high quality and they are intensive, have very persistent consequences for children. And so James Heckman at the University of Chicago has been the pioneer in calculating rates of return on investments in different ages and has led to the generation of a literature on these types of questions. And there I would simply put on the table you find persistence within the life course because of the fact that the influences of these investments, of these intense programs in ages three to six can be seen decades later. Again, this idea of intergenerational persistence. Intergenerational and intergenerational persistence and by implication mobility, they're deeply interconnected. The influences that child fields or in adolescent fields, those translate into adulthood in fundamentally important ways and parental socioeconomic status influences childhood and adolescence. And those trajectories are influenced by the status of the parents. And so you have these deep connections between the process of intergenerational mobility and what's happening across generations. A baseline question is to ask in a society how predictive are features of an individual's childhood and adolescence for their outcomes as an adult? The most common statistical measures of mobility focus on that exact question. Economists typically ask the question how predictive is parental income for the adult incomes that their children will experience? Sociology has historically been much more focused on occupations, asking what's the relationship between the occupation of an adult and the occupations of their parents? But each of them is asking the same persistence question. The second thing I would want to put on the table and this is something which we have theories of this phenomena I'm calling bottlenecks but I don't think the empirical evidence has been well developed. And so if you think about a bottleneck metaphorically you have individuals flowing across time and is there some configuration where it's just hard to get through it? And so I put this on the table because in thinking about the statistics of mobility and how do you characterize a mobile society one thing is to look for broad empirical regularities. A different question is to ask are there particular family configurations that make it especially difficult for children to advance? And so I've alluded to something that sounds like a mathematical issue and actually it is and that is much of the work on mobility is things in a linear fashion. The income you give to a parent has the same effect on a child whether or not the parent is already a fluent or not. The nonlinear view is different. It says that there's something special about the certain configurations that can be very sticky in terms of the families but for other families you can have substantial mobility. And in thinking about those I said that's partly how we want to understand the facts of mobility but it also tells you why it is difficult to characterize mobility and do comparisons. If you think about the Great Gatsbyker one of the features it illustrated was that Scandinavia is substantially more mobile intergenerationally than the United States. In doing that comparison though that's looking at the entire population. It doesn't ask the question what society is more mobile for immigrants. If you think about very heterogeneous complicated countries such as the US there's many mobility questions that are built into it and the Scandinavian countries which of course have their own degrees of heterogeneity are nevertheless qualitatively different in that regard. And so I simply would urge everyone to think of asking about mobility for who.


Let me hear your best Johnny the type of new comments about cargos. Hey man, what can I say?   Because I'm about to tell you the top 6 sneakers to wear with cargos. Also as a disclaimer, these are just the type of sneakers I've seen worn most with cargos and my favorite. The first pair of sneakers that go together like Martin Lawrence and Will Smith, Jordan Ones. Cargos are known to be worn with boots in the military. And because Jordan Ones have a boot-like shape, they go perfect with cargos. Some of my favorite colorways of the Jordan Ones I see worn most often with cargos are the bread toes, off-whites, breads and royals. The colorways don't really matter too much because the shape and the silhouette go perfect with cargos. Next up are vans. Besides a heartbreaking comment that Billy said about vans, vans are a classic. Personally, I've been rocking vans since my skating days bro over 10 years ago. I went to a ton of my local skate park vans that vans would sponsor so I've been a fan ever since. The dope thing about vans is that they look great whether it's crispy or clearly worn and beat. Anybody can rock vans. They are super simple silhouette and are about $50 to $60. I personally like the vans old schools, the authentic or eras or the slip-on. It's only about $50 or $60 and is seen in all types of aesthetics. Dapper, grunge, vintage, tech where you name it, vans can be rocked with it. The next pair of kicks come from Nike again and is the newer type of sneaker on the block. I'm talking about the Nike React Element 55's or if you got a little bit more moola, the Nike React Element 87's. The shoe of the year for 2018 when I first saw these man, it was an immediate cop for me. Basically, Nike wanted a copy from Off-White and Off-White basically said yeah that's cool just change it up a little and bam there we go the Nike Element 87's. So there's hints of Off-White with the orange stitching and the asymmetric design. These kicks are super comfortable and you can rock a different look every time by wearing different socks. Personally I would rock these by tucking my cargos under the socks so that you can get a sleek seamless transition from your pants to your kicks. And in reality I'd probably do this with every sneaker on this list unless it's really hot outside. Definitely a sneaker that y'all should pick up, the Nike Element 87's or a cheaper alternative is the Nike Element 55's. The next sneaker is the classic, the Air Force 1's.  There's a ton of different models and come on they have a special forces Air Force 1's. That's how you know what's gonna be rocked with cargos. I've seen a ton of different looks mainly consisting of the triple whites of the class. It's a decently priced shoe and if you like the utility look definitely opt for the special forces and if you want some more versatility opt for the triple whites. Next up a sneaker you probably weren't expecting, the Yeezy 700 Wave Runners. Now I never even thought that these would be rocked with cargos. They just seem out of place. What I really have seen them look really clean and a ton of outfits. I never really liked the mouth colorway, I don't know if I'm saying that right. I thought the OG colorway was better but I do think this colorway is the one to cop especially if you're rocking cargos. These kicks are super comfortable, the dad's shoe trend is still in and if you got the funds and you want the brand recognition these are the ones to cop. And last but not least we can not forget a tech wear company collaboration. Oh man, cargos are a huge part of the tech wear aesthetic so of course the Nike Akron Impressos are the ones to rock with cargos. Back in 2016 the first three colorways of the collaboration debuted and was named shoe of the year and in 2017 three more colorways were released as well.   Anyways tech wear focuses on a ton of zippers, straps, pockets, etc. That futuristic utility look. The Akron Impressos are just that. We got buckles, straps and zippers and if you are a huge fan of Akron Imp they also did a collaboration with the Air Force One.  So go ahead and give this video a like follow me on Instagram help your boy get to 10k subscribe to this channel if you haven't already leave a comment down below what are your favorite type of sneakers to wear with cargos and until then stay fly bro I'm out peace.


From Korea to Germany, from Alaska to Puerto Rico, all over the world, the United States Army is on the alert to defend our country, you, the American people, against aggression. This is the big picture, an official television report to the nation from the United States Army. Now to show you part of the big picture, here is Sergeant Stewart Queen. Today on the big picture, the Department of the Army presents a documented report of the crimes and atrocities committed against American and other United Nations prisoners of war by their communist captors. You will hear the facts from repatriated prisoners of war from Major General William F. Dean and from the former Supreme Commander of the United Nations forces in the Far East, General Mark W. Clark. To interview these men and to reveal these facts on the big picture, here is the noted network commentator and war correspondent, Bill Downs. The facts you are about to hear are shocking. The films you are about to see are not pleasant. Some of them are revealed for the first time. But what you will see and what you will hear is the stark truth that every American should know. Those films were not shot on a Hollywood lot for a horror picture. They are official Army films. They are only a tiny fraction of the evidence of communist atrocities. And we could not begin to enumerate the number of the kind of terrible crimes committed by the communists against both military and civilian prisoners. But we are going to tell you about some of those crimes and we are going to show you some of their brutal results, not to shock you, but to reveal the true nature of the enemy, to give you an idea of the ruthless communist mind of what would happen to civilization under communist rule. Bear in mind that these atrocities have taken place not in the dark ages of barbarism, but in 1950 and 51 and 52. Look closely. We know it isn't a pretty sight, but if you remember what you see today, you will never again relax your vigilance. These are captured prisoners of war, many of them Americans, hands tied behind their backs, heads bashed in, some of them used for ban at practice. Yes, this is the pattern of communist control, of communist brutality, of horror piled on horror. Let us give credit where credit is due. The communist forces in Korea have been able to outmatch any fiendish nightmare the most imaginative creator of horror fiction could conceive. In their fury, they herded thousands of helpless civilians from their homes, clubbed them and beat them or ban out of them to death and dump their bodies into abandoned mines or wells. And this is an American soldier, one of the lucky prisoners of war who managed to survive. He is looking at the bodies of men who were captured with him, but who were not so fortunate. He may be recalling the terrible days of the death march which for inhumanity reached and surpassed the infamous death march on Batam. One of the survivors of that Korean death march is now recuperating at the Army's Walter Reed General Hospital here in Washington. We went to see a corporal from the 24th division. One of the survivors of that Korean death march is recuperating here in Washington at the Army's Walter Reed Hospital. I'd like you to meet Corporal Don Schmincker of Baltimore, Maryland. How are you feeling, Don? Fine, sir. Better than a couple of months ago? Better than what I did before. Well, good. How long were you a prisoner? 37 months and 14 days. And how many hours? I don't know exactly. Well, how many of you do you figure finish this march? Well, I say about 500. Out of the 700 that started originally? Which figures out as you said? It figures it bulls down now there's only about 285 left today because in the 150 we went to a schoolhouse, a Korean schoolhouse. It was pretty cold and he had shacks, a few shacks and had like some in each shack. But every day we said we got high, 16 men a day. Well, this was your treatment and when you got to the prison camp? And we got in the channel twice a day. We got a rice ball about this size in the morning. No, burning rice either. There was two. They never had that. So we got miller, miller to maize, a corn, crack corn balls. And you had about, and about 50 gallons of water through about two heads of cabbage or one hundred cabbage. Any medical treatment in the camp? Oh, they had a Korean doctor, but he was a phony anyhow, you know. What sort of treatment did he have? Did he give? Oh, he came around, he was calling the butcher.  And what about any other treatments, shots or? Well, that was later about we stayed there all when I moved from there in March of 51 when we come down to another school house, the new Cheung-gang, in the Cheung-gang area, but down, brother.  And the guy looked bad enough that he was going to pass away, to give him a shot from the heart. And if he is alive next morning, he's pretty well good to survive. I know about two guys survived this shot. How many took it? I don't know, I imagine quite a few, about 40 or 50 maybe. Well, Don, do you find that you have difficulty in convincing people in this country that these things really did happen? It's no use to try and even believe anyhow, just a minute was over and seemed for himself, going through it, that's all. Well, thanks for telling us the facts, Don, and I hope you get out of the hospital real soon. Well, after talking with Corporal Don Schmeky, we went down the long corridors of Walter Reed Hospital into Ward 33, where we met Corporal Eugene W. Reed. Fine, sir. What gives us the arm? What you got? T.B. of the bone. Tuberculosis of the bone? And you got that during imprisonment in Korea? Yes, sir. How's it coming along now? It's coming along pretty good now. How long were you a prisoner, Gene? 27 months and then days, sir. Well, what exactly happened to you after you were captured then? Well, I just captured a, they took me upon a healing group, a group, and they started marching us north. And where did you march to? I marched up on next to the Yellow River. That's from the Imgen to the Yellow. Now, exactly how far is that? Oh, that's approximately about four miles. Well, when you finally got to that yellow prison camp, Gene, what was it like? It was very bad, sir. Guys had lights this and turn and went into things like that.  Did any of the fellows die from malnutrition or disease? Yes, sir. How many? I really couldn't say. I mean, quite a few of them died. I really couldn't see the exact number, I mean. Nice. I mean, yeah. Well, what was that North Korean hospital like? Uh, it was, it was made because I don't know what it was, an old Japanese temple. It was, uh, made of mud and, and of course, some old-time guys had anything to, it basically was on the floor and like for guys, we took them up there, you know, and if he was about to go in and take them and put them in this dungeon, they had that for a guy that was pretty sick, you know, let's take them out and let them in and die. We always called it the, uh, stop off the boot heel.  Did you get any heat at all? Uh, very little. Not too much. Just, we got, we just, maybe we got to be on the floor, you know, Korean style, just for two hours a day. Sometimes not that long. What about blankets, that sort of thing? Like when we first got there, they almost gave us one blanket, uh, for two men. But after the, uh, two stalks died up, well, they did break their heart and they gave us one little thin blanket for a man. That's probably the only thing they had. Well, thank you very much, Gene, for telling us your story. Well, we left, we left Walter Reed Hospital and went back to the Pentagon, where a battle-hardened soldier awaited us. A dog-faced soldier, he calls himself. In July, 1950, he was the commanding general of the United States 24th Division, which was rushed to Tejon. The battle was going against the United Nations forces in Korea. The 24th Division, vastly outnumbered, held against heavy odds for three weeks. And then the city of Tejon was surrounded by the Communist hordes. The general and his aide helped carry a wounded soldier from the embattled area and tried to escape the onrushing Reds.  He was held prisoner for 37 months. Now, here with me is General William F. Dean. General, in the details that you released when you returned home, you mentioned the many long hours that the Communists spent trying to get information out of you. Yes, that first month of September, they questioned me almost continuously. One stretch, they questioned me for 68 hours. Well, General, did the Communists try to indoctrinate you? They did. They tried various methods. They tried persuasion, bribery. They kept all lititure, all means of diversion away from me for a period of 14 months. And then when they gave me lititure, it was all Communist lititure. Treatment you've received in three years, practically in solitary, was an act then to try to woo you to their side. I do. Did they say anything about how they were taking care of your men? They didn't tell me how they were taking care of our men, but they said that our men were very happy and gay and were always singing and were so merry. And they showed me petitions with alleged photostatic signatures of POWs, a man from our own organization, men that I had known and men whom I could not make myself believe that they would sign such petitions. These petitions were directed toward the soldiers of our army that were fighting in the South, and there were appeals to the American people stating that we had been misled, that they had discovered, that is, the POWs had discovered that the South Koreans had started the war and not the North Koreans, and that there is no point in our fighting further. They also showed me copies of broadcasts that they had alleged to have been made by these men and officers, and they requested me to add my signature to the petition, and they constantly urged that I go on the air and broadcast an appeal to the American troops to quit fighting. Why didn't you, sir? I mean, you were in pretty bad shape, weren't you? Why? I'm an officer in the United States Army, and even if I had believed that, which they were telling me, if I was still in the service of the United States and in the service of the people of the United States, I couldn't be a traitor. In the summer of 52... Well, General Dean, there should be some lessons that we who sat on the sidelines during this horrible affair should draw from your experience and the experience of the men who went through these horrible things. What would be those lessons? I feel that one of the first lessons is that we should teach at all levels what true Americanism means and is. We should teach what true democracy is, and we should teach it by practice, not by just citing it in words. We should not forget consideration for others. It's often too easy to think only of ourselves. We must teach and practice consideration for others at all times if we're going to beat this insidious propaganda of the communists. Well, General, if you had about a minute or a dozen sentences to say to the families and wives and mothers of the men who went through this experience, as you did, and the men who will find their permanent home in Korea, what would you say to them? I would say that they can certainly find a great deal of satisfaction, real satisfaction in the fact that their sons came through this ordeal with flying colors. In the face of this persecution, this torture, all these atrocities we've just witnessed, they came through steadfast to their faith. I feel that they can take real personal satisfaction and pride in their sons. General, we, of course, will never be able to repay that debt, but we can try, and I want to thank you very much. Thank you. First Lieutenant Robert S. Wood calls the nation's capital his hometown, but for three long years, his home was a prison cap in the far north of Korea. Well, Lieutenant Wood looks in pretty good shape now. You can't tell from his face the ordeal he's been through, but as you listen to his story, you'll be reminded again of man's inhumanity to man. Bob, you were captured in November 1950, weren't you? Yes, Bill. I was with the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division. Chinese hit us at Unsan about 70 miles north of Pyongyang. We were ordered to hold there and were surrounded. A little over 200 of us were captured at that time. Well, Bob, how were you treated? We received very poor food, very little of it, lost a lot of weight and strength, and one of the men was very badly wounded. He had to have his leg amputated. Well, what happened to him? The Chinese supplied the American doctors there with a rusty scalpel and some sutures, and the doctors were able to operate successfully. However, later he died of dysentery. Well, Bob, were there any hospital facilities for you at all? Yes, they had a hospital if you want to call it that. It was a filthy hole in some Korean huts. The dead were lying in among the living and the stench alone was enough to make a man sick. I know it drove some of the men out of their minds. Well, this American doctor you spoke of, wasn't there anything that he could do about the situation? I mean, would they listen to him? Yes, we had some American doctors who were in the hospital there. However, in a little while they released one of the doctors and sent him out of the hospital area. They said he wasn't a good doctor, that he wasn't politically conscious. He did not know who to save and who to let die. Well, what do they mean by that? Simply that they did not want to attempt to save the lives of anyone who fought their indoctrination program. Or were there any other similar incidents at your camp? Yes, there were many, Bill. They gave us a series of lectures, forced readings, discussion periods, examinations lasting up to 10 hours a day. There was one instance in which we were forced to listen to a speech that was made by Chow and Lai, the foreign minister for Red China. One of the majors spoke up at the end of the speech and said the speech wasn't worth the paper it was written on and cheap paper at that. Well, what happened to him? He was immediately yanked out, beaten, thrown into a hole for solitary confinement and completely broken. He later died as a result of this treatment. Well, how were you affected personally, Bob? Like all the prisoners of war, I suffered from malnutrition. I contracted a case of malaria, hepatitis and dry berry berry. Well, you're looking pretty fit now, Bob. Thanks to getting back to civilization, good food and decent medical care. Well, I hope you keep on keeping fit and good luck. Thank you. Lieutenant Wood was fortunate to make a quick recovery, but some of our men were not so fortunate. Like PFC James R. Wendling, who comes from Cincinnati, Ohio. We went back to Walter Reed General Hospital to talk with Jim Wendling, and we found him in bed. Hi, Jim. How are you doing? Just fine, sir. You're looking pretty good. How are you feeling? Just fine. Good. Tell me what happened to you? When and where were you hit? Well, I was up in Yucaldi, and I was on one in 22nd April. That was north of the 38th, yes, 15 miles north of the 38th. Then there was someone that was going to be a counterattack. So we waited around for a while, and then Chinese started hopping up in front of our holes. And then, well, 15, 20 men said this was overrun by Chinese, and there was only five of us left. So we figured we'd try to find a way out for the hill. So 15 men said to us, a Caucasian grenade went off in front of my face and knocked me out. And I figured about two hours afterwards, they had us down into a foxhole where I woke up and was surrounded by Chinese. This is a, you lost your eye on this? Yes, sir. There's washing of blood off from my face. And then they told me that there was going to move me out on a march. It would be about 25 miles per day at the point, eh? Is this the only medical treatment you received? Yes, sir. About water to wash your face off? Yes, sir. And while on a march, they wouldn't let us take no water. The only way we could get water was as we cross upon and scoop it up with a cup of water we had in our hands. After them, they had to shoot down this one kid, which they said he shot a Chinese. They had a twirl and they claimed he shot a Chinese, you didn't have any weapons? No, sir. They didn't have any weapons whatsoever on the march. And they told us to be in the school building at such, such time. So they come up and got us and we went in there and they told us to squat down and sit on the floor.  And then they said, well, in return of him killing one of these Chinese comrades, we had to shoot him. Which they took him up one day, up under the hill. He shot him. Did they line everybody up so they could watch this? Yes, sir. Well, then did the Chinese order you out of that park where the trial was held and you were forced to witness this execution? Yes, sir. What did you end up? Well, we ended up in the prison camp, which was called Chongsun. And they named it Camp One. And how was, was treatment any better there than on this march? No, sir. Well, Jim, I know it must be a strain and we'll drop it here and I want to wish you a speedy recovery. Thank you, sir. The summing up is perhaps best done for us by the former Supreme Commander United Nations forces in the Far East, General Mark W. Clark. General Clark, you've heard these repatriated prisoners of war. I know their stories are not new to you. But do you have any releasable figures on the number of victims of communist atrocities? Well, yes, Mr. Downs. Actually, we've recovered or uncovered, I might say, over 10,000 bodies, victims of communist treachery and savage murder in Korea. As a matter of fact, the evidence indicates that there are over 30,000 that have been murdered in cold blood by the communists, of which about 11,600 actually were United Nations troops. What has been the treatment of red prisoners in our own camps, General? Well, notwithstanding the communist screams to the contrary, we abided strictly by the terms of the Geneva conference with regards to the care of prisoners of war, with regards to clothing, food, and medical treatment. As a matter of fact, they never had it so good as they did in these POW camps that we administered. Well, how was the medical treatment of American prisoners of war in their camps? Well, it was pretty crude. Their surgical procedures were really barbaric. They didn't permit our own doctors who had been captured to have any medicines or means by which they could care for our own sick and wounded people. And we have evidence of many amputations that took place where no anesthetic was used at all. It was extremely crude. Well, it has been said, General, that the accepted communist medical prescription was a bullet. Would we find that was true? Oh, yes, we did. We found many cases of not only the bodies, but the evidence of some of the perpetrators and men who witnessed the cold-blooded shooting in the back of the head with a Russian-made bullet. Thank you very much, General Clark. This is the first time in our history that United States forces have met the communists on the battlefield. Let us hope that what we have seen here today is not a preview, but a conclusion. Yet within official files, there is sufficient evidence to show that these atrocities were all part of a premeditated campaign in Korea. From the voices of repatriated prisoners of war, you have heard identical incidents of brutality, of malnutrition, of lack of any decent medical care, of wanton disregard of human life. The communist pattern, obvious and terrible. Remember, too, that only when the true stalks began, when the communists knew that they could not win, when they saw that we were backing up our resolve to remain free with men and with arms, only then did the brutality lessen.  You are looking at the true face of communism. Never forget it. You have seen and heard the shocking facts about communist atrocities and brutality. Your commentator was Bill Downs, well-known network correspondent.

Ruby's Pantry made the move from Mount Zion Church to the Sanford Center in Bemidji today. Organizers say the new system went smoothly. Ruby's Pantry gave out about 300 to 400 shares of food today. The distribution had all kinds of groceries like meat, bread, frozen pizzas, and even household items like toilet paper. After participants went through the line, their boxes were rolled out on a cart and delivered right to their car. Well, this has been great. I'm trying to move the whole operation this big to come over here. Sanford has been just absolutely tremendous. And as you can see behind me, most of the people are inside, not outside in the cold. So this has been great. About 80 people volunteered to help today. Ruby's Pantry will be back at the Sanford Center on January 17th.

So we're here at O-Mate with the CEO and founder of O-Mate, right? Hi, everyone. Yes? Yes. So when did you start O-Mate? Started in 2013 and after three years we survived. We're still here. And you are selling a lot of smartwatches, right? Not bad. I mean, we're not a small independent company but we have been more successful. We did a successful launch in Taiwan. In Taiwan we do pretty well. In China as well. And starting in the US, Europe a little bit. And you have a nice booth here at the Mobile World Congress. And you have some partners here? Yes. So we did our announcement with WERCOM. So WERCOM is a location-based services company. And what we announced with them is based on, probably you remember the TrueSmart. So this is the TrueSmart Plus. So I can show you here. Here are some of the notifications I got. The watch face, the user interface is super smooth. Which platform is that? So this is 6572, I'm 76572M. And based on this, actually, we teamed up with WERCOM to launch our first smartwatch for kids. So I can show you here. This is a developer edition. So you don't... Is it Android for kids? Yes. Android for kids, so... Because why give... I can show you. Feature, feature watch. You want them to give... You want to give them a smartwatch? Because boring. Kids, they don't care about time.  They don't care about location-based services. They care about games. They care... They know how to unlock your phones.  They need apps. Yes, so we have... So what we created is we created a user interface dedicated for them. So it's kind of a theme or a launcher where you can change, you know, like this would be more boy-style. And let's cool. So let's call dad. Okay, hi dad. Actually, it's my colleague dad. He's also mom and grandpa, I think. Yeah, he's always... Uncle as well. So he's more like a user interface, which is... Tid friendly. And of course in the design and... And then I can show... Can you show us some more of the UI? So... Call, chat, friends, some sports. What happened to friends? Actually you can... Contact list? It's kind of contact list, yeah. You can also... Two devices can bump together to become friends. Really? Yeah, sports. For example, sports. You have like your pedometer. I mean, it's all to give them something which feel for them, which is cool. Did you remember your first watch? Yeah. The kid. It's a super important ride. Yeah. It was probably the most valuable thing you own when you were a kid. It was a flick flack. A flick flack, yeah. It was a Casio, I think. And I never got the flick flack. Lucky you. I'm Swiss. Ah, yeah. I'm not Japanese, but we got Casio. And if you... So actually...  So this is designed for kids aged 6 to 9 years old. So why 6 to 9? Because from... So here you can insert the sim card here. So I need to... Why 6 to 9? It's because 5 is too young, definitely too young to have a watch. And the bulky is too bulky for them. And from 10 years old, they already want an iPhone. They already want a smartphone. So kids have changed. So 6 to 9, they love that. They want... I can show you some games. They want Facebook. No, they're not allowed. No, but imagine playing Space Invaders on your wrist. This is higher resolution than the original Game Boy. Yeah. Actually the 320 x 320 is the same resolution as the true smartphone. What is the resolution? 320 x 320. Alright. So it's a good battery life? Yeah, it would be a two days battery life. I mean kids usually come back at home every night. And of course they need to charge me. It's really also like to teach them their connected life. It's the beginning of their connected life. They know to... They are the most... I think they are the number one user of the iPad at home. Kids. Alright. What is this? This one is a racer. So in different style and different colors. This is an empty 2502. And this is always on display. What is the technology for the always on display? It's truly display. And we were the first... We were the lead customer on this display. So now this module. So here you can see our module. With a vibrator. That one is a bit dirty, sorry. That one has been in the washing machine here. That one is clean. Why are you putting in the washing machine? This is... I don't know, this one has been through testing I think. So that one is a 2502. You can see our pin here. And so this module... Actually we designed many watches. Many different watches from ladies watches. More men's stylish. To the racer which is more casual. Alright. And no. So this is... So it's really the early product. I should not show that. Not beautiful enough to show. But this is the very very first product of the Omate Rise. So this is a 2601. So that means you can push notification from iPhone Android. Or you can use it as a standalone device. So here is basically... So that's the beauty of the rise. Sorry, here. And very old watch. Oh sorry. This is the SIM card slot. Really? Yes. Here is a nano SIM card. So this is very like a geek and engineering. But you can... We can put like for example... I mean here you can see really inside. We will probably add that. It's great. Yeah, it's pretty cool. And so here as you can see... Number 001. It's like your old Casio, right? The way you open to put the change of battery. Yeah, again it's like inspired from the watch of the 21st century. We just try to build them as the watch of the 21st century. And this is real carbon fiber. So only this part is like... I think right now 30 US dollars just this part. That's super expensive. I mean that's our cost. This is bulletproof. This is carbon fiber. It's very light also. I mean the whole... So yeah, let me show you. So... I can show you. So different watch traces that we show during the campaign. So they are already all integrated. Let's go for the what? So here you have some of the... This is really early UI. It's not really not the final. I need to swipe that. Sorry. And here you have like... I have no notification on that one. And here is the OUI. So it's very similar as the OUI 3 4.0 on that one. Because it's wrong. So that's the challenge. Nice. So is there any chance that you might be able to get Android Wear? So Android Wear is not really part of our strategy right now. We believe in full Android. We believe in what we are doing. Our customization with the Omate user interface. I mean it's very cool. I really like Android as it is. Android 5.1 how we can improve the user experience. Android Wear, the great thing is that I know they are opening on the stand-alone side. So probably there would be like some... The opening? I mean no. There are some devices which have been announced. They just draw from the market like the LG, the LG Yorben LTE. Which were like... Which were with Android Wear on telecom. So I think in the future there would be more. So then there would be an opportunity for us. Because you like to have a SIM card and right now Android Wear is not supposed to be a SIM card right? So yeah but I mean they did one and they... It was only sold in Korea. Actually they recalled it but anyway that's their stuff. But Android Wear we support now the SIM card. So I think there are a lot of opportunities because that was our vision three years ago when we started.  As usable as possible and reaching the potential that they should be reaching? Yeah I think they are doing pretty well. I mean their strategy like to team up with watch brands is very smart. I think it's much better than teaming up with mobile phone brands. They have no choice for the mobile phone brand but teaming up with Casio for example is fantastic. And that's about the same as what we are doing. We are very open to team up with companies through our module. With people who know everything about fashion, everything about watch but know nothing about technology. So that's the right combination. The tech smartwatch is for me the best smartwatch in the market. It's beautiful, it's incredible and it's the right combination of talents. You know like Google, Intel, I mean Android Wear, Intel and a real smartwatch brand. A very watch brand. So that makes a very beautiful product. And from our side we try to have a very humble wearable tech company. So we do our module and we learn and we have our community. And we are very happy to design some cool product. Alright, so have you been to some watch conferences? So I plan to go to my first bezel watch show. Bezel World. Bezel World is in March. So I plan to go there for the first time. You have your ticket? I may have an invitation. Alright, that's great. So you can have an announcement. You can connect with all the SwissWatch companies and maybe you can have a partnership. Maybe? Yeah, that's probably what we are definitely working on. That's cool. So this is, I mean this looks really great and I think the always-on display is awesome. Yeah, it works pretty well. Hopefully they can be even better always-on displays coming out in the future. Yeah, I mean it seems to be a lot of development done in that. Yeah, exactly. What do you think about e-ink? E-ink is like, how to say, it's like watching, it's like a TV, a black and white TV. I love e-ink on my Amazon Kindle for example, but on a watch it's a bit sad I think.  Even color e-ink, resolution is a bit too poor I think. Alright, so looking forward to 2016 and I hope you sell more than Samsung.


Hi, welcome back to another episode of N5D Network videos. My name is Greg Prescott from N5D.com, and today we're going to be talking about a walk of gratitude. The universe loves gratitude. When you put gratitude out there, the universe is just smiling. It's basically giving you a bear hug back, especially when that gratitude comes from the heart. One of the highest vibrational things you can do is to express gratitude. Of course, love would be the highest vibrational thing, but it's so high in vibrational energy when you give gratitude and you express gratitude from the heart. So try to incorporate gratitude daily. What I do is I go to the beach every day. I force myself to go to the beach because if I didn't, I would work 10 to 15 hours straight here, and I get some grounding there, but I end up working at the beach anyway. This is one of the things I do. When I go to the beach, I do my walk of gratitude, and there's a seawall at the end of the beach. I walk down to that seawall, and that's my reminder. When I get to that seawall, that's my reminder to give gratitude. This is basically what I say and do. Your creator, source, universe, spirit guides, guardian angels, friends and family on both sides of the veil, galactic neighbors and friends, higher self, Mother Earth. Thank you for your love, safety, protection, and abundance in everything that's good in life. And I'll continue to listen with open eyes, ears, mind, and heart to your direction and to your guidance. Then I incorporate ho-opon-opono in there, where I say, I'm sorry if I don't say this as often as I should, please forgive me. Thank you for your love, guidance, safety, and protection, and abundance in everything that's good in life, as I promise to listen with open eyes, ears, mind, and heart.  I also ask that the spirit guide, I call them my posse, but I also ask that they help me unlock all of my codons and my DNA so I can heal myself and others in humanity's best interests. After that I do a love bubble walk, which I'll cover in another video upcoming on N5D Network videos. So like I said, when it comes down to gratitude, gratitude is one of the highest vibrational things you can do outside of love that you can do on this planet. So show gratitude every day. And if you want, you can change this meditation around, this walk of gratitude around to whatever it is that makes you feel comfortable. If you want, instead of using Creator, Source, and Universe to use the word God, go for it. Whatever you want to incorporate. If you don't feel comfortable with spirit guides and guardian angels, take them out or just one or the other, leave them in there, it doesn't matter to me. The bottom line is showing gratitude and like I said, it's one of the highest vibrational things you can do. That's it for now. This is Greg from N5D.com.


Take Marjorie Taylor Greene for example So on February 23rd, she took to Twitter to denounce war profiteering. Now, I also agree that war profiteering is bad It's just the messenger here is the problem So she writes war and rumors of war is incredibly profitable and convenient and just like that The media now has a lie to use as the reason for our shattered economy and out of control inflation What a sad existence it must be to shill for globalism and America last politicians now I agree war profiteering is bad any sort of disaster capitalism is bad But this is a consequence of our late-stage capitalist system I mean every single aspect of human life has been commodified if there's some way to make money or extract value out of Something that hasn't yet been commodified Capitalists will find a way to do that even democracy itself has been commodified where you can't win an election unless you raise lots and lots of money, so I Get why people don't like this right, but if you are a self-proclaimed Capitalist and a proud capitalist at that. I mean, this is the inevitable result of the system that you shill for She's not proposing any systemic changes or fundamental changes to our capitalist system at all She's vehemently against any other forms of economic systems that wouldn't lead to this But yet she's denouncing it so that isn't the only ironic thing about what she's saying here because the irony goes much Deeper because after she claimed it's sad to shill for quote globalism Well, as Dara Roche of Newsweek explains Representative Marjorie Taylor-Green purchased stock in a major defense contractor Just one day before sending a tweet that appeared to criticize profiting from war Wow a Financial disclosure released on Monday shows that Green a Republican representing Georgia's 14th congressional district purchased between 15,000 and $15,000 in Lockheed Martin stock on February 22nd 2022 Green tweeted the next day criticizing the media and taking an appearance swipe at war profiteering While she also took aim at the role of defense contractors in a series of tweets on February 24th The day Russia began its invasion of Ukraine Lockheed Martin manufacturers javelin anti-tank missiles with defense contractor Those missiles have been included in Western military aid to Ukraine the US and NATO have sent more than 17,000 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine including javelins according to the New York Times So she has the audacity to buy stock in Lockheed Martin and then a day later publicly condemn war profiteering This woman has no shame whatsoever I'm almost speechless first and foremost. Let me just say that members of Congress should not be allowed To buy stocks in fact Ilhan Omar respond to this story with that very same sentiment saying via Twitter Add this to the list of reasons why members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks I think that most reasonable people can agree with that because they have information that the rest of Americans aren't privy to so it Gives them an advantage an unfair advantage in the stock market So that's that's thing number one But thing number two is that you can't you can't just be this hypocritical you can't just say war profiteering bad after You bought stocks in Lockheed Martin. Who does that? It's insane to me. It's so insane to me I just what do you even say? What do you even say now? The question is what is her excuse because this story blew up online and of course people were asking questions Hey, you denounced war profiteering, but yet you're profiting from wars. So Why explain and her answer was to basically play dumb while I didn't do this my broker did it excuse me No, no, no, you don't get to use that excuse. So here's what she said specifically Green-told business insider in a statement on Monday our investment advisor has full discretionary authority over our accounts We have owned this American company for years and this small investment was part of our overall investment strategy This was purchased along with other companies like Clorox Walgreens in Caterpillar to name a few. She said, okay Still doesn't count. You don't get a pass for that. Why can't you tell your broker? Listen? I have a moral aversion to war profiteering therefore.  She's so hypocritical. I don't buy that she Has no control over her stock. Sure. She probably outsources this duty to her broker, but still You can lay out parameters as to what you do and don't want to invest in you are choosing Where to place your money and you very much are putting your money in the hands of war profiteers So if you're going to do that at least shut up about war profiteering, but she can't help herself She can't help herself. I Just I don't know what to say. This is the dumbest member of Congress and she is Hypocritical to a point where it's not surprising. It's almost a feature of the modern-day Republican Party. They contradict themselves Constantly they are overtly hypocritical.


The impact person of the year 2016, of course, belongs to Vijay Shekhar Sharma, founder and CEO of the ATV. Mr. Vijay Shekhar Sharma, it is congratulations. The founder and CEO of ATV is impact person of the year 2016, and while he is receiving the award, we also have a shot at the award. By Sony Live, we live... I am not a media or advertising industry person, but I am truly humbled with the choice and selection here that I was company of such incredible people. So, thank you everybody who was part of the company and jury who could allow me to be there together and this is such an humbling to be in this list itself. Ladies and gentlemen, this is India's hour. This is the hour India has been waiting for ages and times. I came out of engineering college in 1998 and I had a dream to go to United States and build technology company exactly not what I had a dream. I had a dream to stay in this country and make one day a company in this country that country will be proud of. I had a dream that this country will get its due. This country will no more build IT services for the international customers and we will no more be a back office. We will be the front office one day. This country will build companies which will build technology for this country's countrymen. And I want to tell you today, this is the first time and this is just a beginning my friend. This is just a beginning ladies and gentlemen when India has started to build companies for the countrymen and fellow countrymen will be proud of. I am so happy and privileged here to become nothing but a just starting point of the mission and the vision of our countries, four fathers who will come real to the world. This is the time our country has been waiting that hundreds of millions of consumers will be there. This is the time when arguably the biggest question why India does not build a Google or Facebook or a Microsoft will finally start to get answered because this is the time when India has people who will be the customers for Indian companies. And I want to tell you that this is also the time for Indian entrepreneurs to build companies which solve India's problem. This is the time for India to build companies that are not replicas of the western or eastern world. This is the time for India to build original Indian companies that will go and make our country proud when you land in a country which is a foreign land. And then you say that okay I know this country because this is an Indian law. This is the time when each one of us will feel proud and happy about that we have companies in this country who do not just build world class products but build the brand for the country. And take that to the world and I'm so happy and privileged to become like I said the impact person of the year who will be one of the starting points in this journey. 8th November is the day in this country's history of 2016 that will be remembered as one of the landmark day in the history of this country. I'm not a socialist, I'm not a capitalist and I'm definitely not an economist. I do not know what are the evils and what are the good of this. I definitely do not know what is the positive outcome that could be and what is the negative outcome and the stress that we are all going through. I definitely know this country is going through a lot of stress but I know one thing for sure. Whenever somebody has ever challenged the state of school, whenever somebody has ever started to change what has been there, everybody around has first feel the pain and then got the gain of that pain. I know that this will be the pain that our kids will remember in the generations to come will remember because this is the first time India's third world has an opportunity to become the first world in the digital world. This is the first time that India has taken a resolve when India will become the first world of the digital world where every person of this country knows how to use technology and build technology. Remember we are the only country which was not privileged to build a language technology. You talk about Japan, you talk about Germany, you talk about China, they all build the technology in their own languages and our country never built a technology in our own languages. This is a time when the world companies will come up to our corners and to our shores and build the country languages and the first language for this country and the technology in the language this country men speak and our fellow citizens will be the customers of that country. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a time when everyone of us in this room, everyone of us around us is going through a new learning curve. Remember India is taking three leaps in one shot and this is exactly what is happening. The first leap is getting technology in their hands, the smartphone, the internet connection and the second leap is that they are also becoming a technology savvy. Traditionally people use things like Facebook, social networks and messengers but now the third leap of financial inclusion in this technology is happening because when the money is distilled it takes you far, when the money is distilled it takes you far and when the money is distilled it powers the country far more. Then when the money is cashed, when the money is cashed it can go in the hands that you don't know and it will create the use cases and the nuances that you will never want this country to have. When the money is distilled it will be tracked exactly the problem this has, exactly the asset this has. The flip side of the best thing is that it is really the worst side of this that when money is distilled it will empower every poor of this country who has been deprived of even a simple bank account my friend. A simple bank account which could have been the part of their Roti, Kapla or Makhan agenda which could have been the part of their very existence in this country that they should have been given the privilege to get a bank account. A poor in this country cannot get a loan because the rich in this country get a loan by speaking the language of the corridor and the gentleman doesn't know how to get a loan or even two last rupees. Do you know this that I am the person who got a two lakh rupees loan for 24% of interest at a time when I was running my company and that loan became so big that for eight lakh rupees for the same company I am standing here I sold 40% of my company. For eight lakh rupees I sold 40% of the company that in last round was more than 30 thousand crore rupees worth so that you know what a cost of eight lakh rupees in this country is. And at FATM we have a resolve, we have a resolve that half a billion Indians which have been deprived of even a bank account, they have been deprived of even the basic financial inclusion they have been deprived of not just the money that they carry but the deprived of the money they can't even walk into a bank and deposit it. We at FATM have a resolve that by 2020, by 2020, FATM will bring half a billion Indians to the mainstream of economy and not just that is our vow but that is exactly what our game is and ladies and gentlemen in this room I promise you one thing, I promise you one thing when you take such large resolve the three guiding principles that I quote today will be the guiding light for us, no fear, no greed and no entitlement because any one of them can take you to a corner which you will be in the dark with and this dawn is nothing better quoted than Tim Morrison when he said no eternal awards will forgive us now for wasting the dawn and in the eyes of the forefront of this dawn Thank you so much ladies and gentlemen for having me here with us today
