Hello, good morning one of the as Well, I hope that you're doing well, and you had a safe trade to come here to keep comes so welcome to Valencia My name is Eduardo Silva and one of the maintainers of the fluent ecosystem And I created the project fluent bit now maintaining board more companies more people around and Well, thanks for joining this fluent con This is a really small collocated session that we found that has to get a lot of value Along the years if I'm not wrong. This is our third time doing this event and We are really anxious to know more also about your journey. It's not just about a Maintainers and developers sharing knowledge, but also is important to us to have this interaction with you After each session to get received some feedback and understand what are the challenges that you have in observability Right, so just take it that in cone that everybody who's here is really open for networking Understand a what is your journey in observability and how we can help in different angles So we call that the fluent ecosystem is like the Swiss knife for observability and One of the main differentiators along the years thinking about that fluent D as a project it started like more than 10 years ago It's like we never intend a as a project to be a dropping replacement We always intended to be something that you can plug in your architecture and solve your problems When it's about to move data from one point to the other and now when we think that in That mentality we think that the fluent is more than a tool. It's more than fluent D. It's more than fluent bed It's a concept that allows you to integrate With different systems different architectures, but also other projects around Pretty much a part of the history is like from the beginning. We aim to even connect with competitors projects now talking a more about from the ecosystem we try to connect with Everything that is around because the problem is not just a moving logs from one place to the other There's traces. There's metrics, but also you don't want to remove your your infrastructure agents, right? moving infrastructure agents a for example Anyone that you can have might take you up like a year We have a users and customers who deploy this in a scale of a hundred thousand servers, right? So when it's about to switch technology, it's really expensive Because it takes a lot of time a lot of planning Maintainance and so on so for us fluent is a full ecosystem that allows you to get into this journey on how to connect the dots between Different a source of information different destination and nobody what is the data? We try to be diagnostic today is lost matrix and traces maybe tomorrow another kind of Critical information might exist and you will be sure that we will support that one of the values is like we think that Everything in observability must be open source, right? And not just because I say this because we are an open source conference I say this because of the value of contribution across different vendors Companies and individuals of this but also is really important that you don't get into this common vendor lock-in Because when you go into observability, even if you think from the management perspective you think that what you need to get is What we would you need to accomplish is data analysis you need to centralize your all your information in a central point You can call it the last day. You can call it a splunk. You can call it Prometheus. That's not a What is relevant for us our values to be able to provide you the tool that you can choose your own back end or Backends or cloud services in a smooth way, right? And as I said, we try to be agnostic in all ways possible in terms of project products and platforms Now where is fluent right now? We found that when the cloud providers, you know botched for a technology every other company mid-sized or small-sized follows the path and Nowadays Amazon Google cloud Microsoft Azure plus another hundred of companies are using the fluent technology in their own Infrastructure, so I would say that this has been production grade for a long long time Now thinking about the ecosystem is always to year over year start thinking Okay, where are we roots where we are now and where we want to go and there are many areas to To think about that for example when flu and he was created the problem Well at that time was how do I move my login information to a cloud service, right? And of course the technology that was created to solve that problem was flu and D and actually part of the story is like You know many people complain that flu and D is written in Ruby language with some components in C And one of the fun part is that the POC Was meant to build in Ruby But the real solution was aimed to be built in C++. I'm talking 10 years ago, right and it worked out pretty well And so this POC just stayed in Ruby and starting evolving evolving and nowadays is still used in widely Short after fluent D when we got fluent D in production already in thousand of servers We decided what we needed to have a kind of solution that was more a Lightweight more performant with low memory footprint at that time It was in better Linux, right? that was a target and then at the time that fluent D was around Kubernetes was around right, but also start to explode all these a technology of containers right, I'm talking about Docker at that time and fluent bit For somehow got like a better fit for this new area of microservices and containers Why because it was reading in C. It was optimized it to consume low CPU low memory But have a very high throughput when it's about to move data from one place to the other so naturally Users starting Migrating from one project to the other in the initial intent Was the idea was to have fluent bit like something natural for fluent D users Where fluent bit couldn't work like a suck forward there forwarded in our context is something that just takes data and forward it out and Have fluent D as an aggregator that just receive all the data and take care of all the all the processing But our users starting asking for more features in fluent bit Like we didn't have filtering at the beginning, right? We didn't support Kubernetes even we didn't support Taining files one of the first plugins available at least in fluent bit where to gather kernel log messages CPU metrics memory metrics those plugins are still there And this is really really fun because the trend now is that most of users at Switching from fluent D to fluent bit because they're following a journey Where now they're moving to Kubernetes or they're moving to a different kind of architecture and when it's about to move data We got a problem Right five years ago. I don't know people were processing a few terabytes. Maybe per month sometimes now is terabytes per day, right so Every year every company every architecture is moving more data. Well, actually it's generating more data Right, so if you're generating more data You need to be able that your agent or the tool that you have in your infrastructure Be able to move this data in a scalable way Right and that's why fluent D is starting to struggle on this new era of containers Because it was not designed for this kind of workloads But fluent bit was designed for that and that's why we are seeing this pattern of a fluent D users moving more to fluent bit Now talking as a maintainer and as a founder of a co-founder as a company We are investing in both projects fluent D. It might be around for another 10 years fluent bit Maybe more but all the innovation and the train is happening more in the fluent bit side and One of the things about fluent bit is that production grade system is very high-performance and consume Very low resources. Of course. It's not the same process a thousand messages per second That ten or twenty thousand of course we are going to need more competing resources for that, right? But our challenge as maintainers and developers that every year we need to optimize more We need to find okay how to reduce memory allocation What kind of trading strategy we can use how we can optimize in data? Celerization before moving the data even how we optimize when it's about to encode the data into Jason Which is a really expensive task And as you might guess every destination waits for a Jason payload So no matters if in the agent we have a binary representation of the data, right? We need to convert that back to Jason And now a Which is interesting Same as the pattern that happened with Linux same as the pattern that happens with Kubernetes We started to get a distributions of fluent bit the third distribution Well, of course is the upstream distribution where we publish packages container images And then what followed after that was AWS when they said Amazon told to talk to us and well AWS are maintainers of the project to and they said hey We have our own specific backend services and we want to provide You know a first-class connectors for our users by using fluent bit, right? So we started this synergy or working together and they created their own a Plugins initially in go now in C and they say we need to package this for our customers So they are using AWS for fluent bit AWS for fluent bit is just a fluent bit distribution that contains I'm extra Amazon and connectors now you might ask why AWS for using the forward and not AWS from bed It's a just a foundation policy until we got some conformance committed about we aim to change that shortly and Calypthia the company that are representing Also, we are launching our own a fluent bit version, but this is not is upstream version, but kind of LTS We got many customers that said a okay I want to run fluent bit, but fluent bit upstream is released every two weeks Right and sometimes they're breaking changes. We try to improve in testing and stuff, but sometimes things happens So Calypthia for fluent bit is an LTS version that will last for 12 to 18 months And you can run safely on most of environments And also we have Google who's investing heavily also fluent bit Where they are creating their own agent which is kind of wrapper that a Google ops agent use open telemetry for traces and Use fluent bit for all the login management So if you're running Google cloud, likely a Google ops agent will be available for you If you deploy for example a Kubernetes cluster in Google cloud You will get fluent bit as a default bot running So as a sorry as a default demons and there to collect all the logs and ship all these to stack driver so cloud providers in in this aspect from a project and community base is really important because you see that a Technology is has been growing and everybody now is contributing back to have a more general value and fluent bit and I Missed to connect the dots between all the sources available all the destinations So this is not new actually. This is the the first button that we envision when fluent D was created as part of the community We are seeing a huge traction on how many docker hub pools. We're getting every year if you compare from 2019 when we started publishing. This is just containers public containers. We started just a few hundred right now Oh, this is the order of millions. Sorry, but I just forget the unit Right. So on 2021 last year we hit 600 million deployments and This year and if you think we're just in May, we're just approaching that value Actually, CnCF just reported that fluent bit was deployed more than a billion times Right and that is insane. It's insane because it's a huge adoption Right and now with more adoption you get more back reports more enhancement requests And this is like a snowball that continue growing and it's really interesting because there are more challenges You might think that an agent that solves a data problem will be done But actually every year at least in the count in this cloud environment Is more heavily every year's more challenges more stuff that we need to do or innovate into the space As part of the investments from my tenors and other companies We have been working on how to make the fluent bit project a stronger, right? How to avoid regressions how to in increase our coverage of issues So we incremented all the overseas CICD pipeline on github So every pull request everything that has been merged go to a very strict Sanitization process and making sure that there's no problem and Also, it's no problem running in different architectures, right? We aim to support the four basic architectures x86 in two flavors same as arm and also making sure that there are no regressions As a part of security is like okay fluent bit is reading in C and there's always this This fear. Okay. What about memory safety? What about crashes like folds? So from a language perspective, there's no much that we can do besides best practices Right. We try to enforce the best practices a run memories and it is a sanitization and making sure that there are no leaks around But also we start in working a with a security company that we have a presentation about that in a few minutes And that integrated all the Google open source fast mechanism to influence it What this means fasting is a security mechanism where you take any Component of the project that receives an input, right? And it tries to put a similar input or a random input or a modified input that aims to make the project to crash It just send trash data And what is the interesting thing in the first day that we run this we found many bugs many many many many and In the last 12 months all of that has been fixed They are not relevant backs that you might face in a daily in a daily basis But if your service is being attacked you might face this kind of problems But Google OS faster the good thing is that the runs 24 by seven So every what we are doing is that increasing the coverage of the fosters for every interface in fluent bit And the result is you have a more stable agent as more stable product And also as a project perspective you might know that fluent D was created for locks fluent bit the same thing But as of last year we started extending the scope of the project and now we support Matrix and this year we're releasing traces support So and this lead us to the next topic locks matrix and traces and you know might be thinking about Prometheus open telemetry And this is really interesting It's like for the login. I think that we don't need to elaborate too much We support on structure structure messages We do all of these in a schema less fashion and we do all the processing filtering Enrichment of data and one of the good things that we allow in fluent bit to bring your business logic into the data pipeline So even if you want to do some scripting and says if this record contains Certain key with certain value you can take some decision of that modify the content or also making sure that data that a Matches certain criteria can be sent to a different destination and this is usually common for security and alerting Now the matrix journey is really interesting because most of a I don't know which I think was a coupon Europe some years ago and they told us a I'm using what was an example that moment I'm using a Prometheus not exporter. I'm using fluent bit not exporter for matrix fluent bit for locks Can you replicate the same functionality in some fluent bit? And it was not just one person many many people were asking about that So we say okay now maybe we can do metrics right actually fluent bit does metrics from the beginning but as locks But we never formalized at that So we start in extending our our own core engine to support native metrics payloads Right, but following our philosophy on being bend diagnostic and be able to connect on the different platforms and ecosystems And now it's compatible with open metrics, right, which is a Prometheus standard and open telemetry metrics Now from a plug in perspective what we did was and you know our pipeline has inputs We are sources that are plugins that can read data from some place or receive it And we have a outputs right. How do we connect to a destination in the input side? We implemented now a Prometheus scraper so fluent bit can scrape your Prometheus endpoints If your application is running exposing some metrics We just can connect fluent bit scrape those metrics and get it get them into the pipeline Also, we have another plugin which is the mimic of not exported from Prometheus that runs Locally and it's create the same metrics that not exported us We support a coverage around 60% of what the real no exporter does, but I think that that covers 85% of majority of use cases That's why we get the data into the pipeline now in the output side You can expose this data with Prometheus exporter plugin that we have or remote, right most of a services that are Supporting Prometheus remote, right like ball new railing Google you can connect to them by using these connectors So you can put the fluent bit in the middle of something no matter what you have as logs metrics You can use it to get this data and ship this data to your Most famous destination And the same is happening with open telemetry the way that the fluent process open telemetry We say it like it's where the industry want to get a standard for example from if you go to any environment The start the industry standard for metrics everybody will say Prometheus, right? Everybody is Prometheus that is perfect Open telemetry if you ask for example, what is the industry standard for traces? Everybody will say now it's open telemetry But as you can see the standards always are switching or evolving, right? But at some point you are overlapping features You are overlapping protocols and you need something that runs in the middle that allows you to connect the dots Right and that is fluent bit and in the open telemetry side. We are just starting our experimental a Open telemetry input and open telemetry output a Plugins that now for now support just metrics payload and we are extending to traces in a few weeks But we don't aim to replicate for example the open telemetry collector We don't aim to implement for example traces processing I think that that is open telemetry job, right or Bendos job Our job is to be able to move the data, but in the matrix space We are also we are going to allow to do some kind of metrics processing and Yeah, this will be launched in Q4 2022 Another stuff that is really important is investment in performance as I said at the beginning of the presentation, you know You and your environments are always getting more data more data more data, and we need to be able to Handle that load. So we have another presentation from Amazon where they contributed a new mechanism For a the event loop that we have now you can have priority cues and all the events run smoothly There there's no even loss there The agent does not get stuck because the way that is being tested from it now It's not the way that it was tested Some time ago, and we did a lot of optimizations on trading input support and in court on how do we manage a memory and all that stuff From a developer experience Okay, those are the users now developers is how do we extend this agent? How do I put my business logic? How do we implement a for example? I'm a company and they want to provide a new way that I take advantage of fluent bid users so they can connect to my services So we from some time ago we support goal and in the open side of fluent bid But one of the missing pieces was the input side And now we are launching shortly this year goal and input plugins. So you might have your own Fund service and you want to expose on logs and you want that fluent bid pick up those logs or that information You can write your own goal and plug in for that and make it a available So with that we we conclude the presentation so the invitation is like be open for Observability always be fluent like water as Master Bruce Lee is to say so Yeah, thanks for attending and if you have any questions I think that we have one or two minutes for that. Thank you any questions Don't be shy first day You can make the question in Spanish if you feel more comfortable We just have like one minute. So you can make it you can talk in private if you want if you prefer I think we have next speaker coming up. Okay. Thank you


Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. The star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the great Irving Berlin musical Miss Liberty, starring Gordon MacRae and his bright young guest Virginia Haskins. Our choir is out of the direction of Norman Luboth, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon.  And now, here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Thank you, Robin Miller. Good evening, everybody. Virginia Haskins and I want you to come to New York with us. In the days before, there was a statue of liberty in the harbor. When the streets were lit with gas lamps and when the streetcars all had horses francing out in front of them. But when you really wanted to get someplace in style, you said, Let's take an old-fashioned walk. I'm just bursting with fog. What a tale could be told if we went for an old-fashioned walk. Let's take a stroll through the park, down a lane where it's dark. And a heart that's controlled may relax on an old-fashioned walk. I know for a couple who seem to be miles apart. There's nothing like walking and having a heart to heart. A girl who declined couldn't make up her mind. She was wrapped up in a soul coming home from an old-fashioned walk. Hey there, young fellow. Ah, yes, sir. Are you a photographer? Horace Miller and Cam Ratcher Service. We're from Frenders Falls, Indiana. Well, I'm a newspaper publisher and my photographer didn't show up to cover the big shindigs at the City Hall. Oh, I've already got a newspaper job working for Mr. Bennett on the New York Herald. I'm Mr. Bennett of the Herald. Huh? You must be my photographer who didn't show up. Well, I was there, Mr. Bennett, but I didn't see much to photograph. Just a mayor and a lot of celebrities. Just a mayor. Say, I got a real picture. The first photograph of the Statue of Liberty fresh off the boat from France. Let me see that picture. Huh. Oh, this is just a lot of packing cases. Well, how do you expect to get the Statue of Liberty across the Atlantic? She didn't swim. If she had, you'd have missed the picture. You're fired, Miller. Fired? I don't ever want to see your face again. She was fired my first day. I'm sorry I ever came to New York City. I guess I should have stayed in Frenders Falls. Little fish in a big pond has plenty of room to swim But swimming around our big fish already to pounce on him Back to his little pond, he starts to roam The little fish spreads his fins and begins to swim Back home, that's me A little fish in a big pond, all wrong That's me A little fish where a little fish don't belong A little man in a big town gets butterflies in his dome I'm ready to spread my fins and begin to swim Back home to the little pond Where a little fish and a little man belong No, by golly, I can't go back home to Frenders Falls until I've done something important and worthwhile Hey, does anybody know how much it cost to take a boat to Paris? When the sun goes down, Paris makes up When the light's on, it's his high Lights up the sky for mine When they start on the roof in our bay Count their stock and they lock up their stock When the bill So this is Paris, Paris, France Boy, this little fish sure took himself a big swim Say, who's that singing? Pretty, my child, you know the acoustics underneath this bridge are better than the National Opera I know, Grandmother, but wouldn't it be nice if we could have a house to live in? What's wrong with living under bridges? We have a view, plenty of fresh air, running water We'd love to have a home I know, Grandmother, I'd love to do what all the American girls want to do And what is that? Homeward kitchen To be in their kitchen That's the thing I'm longing to do To be there, turning And just what goes into a stew Home, yes, who sits and plans With pots and pans at home Dear Monique, I think the time has come for you to say the magic word The magic word? But it must only be used on an American, preferably from the USA What is the magic word, Grandma? The magic word is... Yes? Yes Yes Say yes to the right American and all our troubles will be over Well, I better go out and peddle my flowers Remember what I told you, child? Well, hello there What's the matter, can't you talk?  Yes I guess you'd probably guess that I was an American I guess Yes She was, you're pretty Yes Would you like to know what I came over to Paris for? Yes I'm looking for the girl who posed for the Statue of Liberty Yes You wouldn't know who she was by any chance Yes Say, it wouldn't be you by any chance Oh yes, yes, yes Well, holy Toledo, talk about lucky I find the girl I'm looking for right off the bat Hey, can I take your picture? Yes Wonderful, now stand just like you did for the Statue One arm up in the air That's it And this book in the crook of your elbow Yes Good Watch the birdie Oh boy, oh boy, this is historic Oh, wait until Mr. Bennett sees this Straight table plan to Mr. James Gordon Bennett, New York Carol Have found the girl who posed for Statue of Liberty Send $1,000 at once to bring her to America Greatest publicity since Stanley found Livingston Signed Horace Miller Oh, the deuce is Horace Miller No matter if it's true, it'll double my circulation Quirk, cable $500 to bring Ms. Liberty to America How are you, Ms. Liberty? Are you calling me? Oh gosh, gee whiz, for a minute I was afraid you changed bridges Monique, who is this improbable young man? Here's your boat ticket to America America? Grandmother has to come too Well, okay, I'll get a ticket for her too Monique, how did this happen? The magic word, I just said yes But what in blazes did he ask? Did he ask you? Well, do you want me to explain why I'm doing all this? They do Why are you being so sweet to me? And to my Grandmother? Well, you see, in America we do everything fast Why, we even fall in love in a hurry Oh, I love you I love you There's no other way Just one way to say I love you As I may That's all I can say I love you Lord Ms. Liberty, America, here we come Monique, why does your nice young man keep calling you Ms. Liberty? Oh, Boris thinks I'm the girl who models for the statue of Liberty Modeled for this? My Grandmother, what's the matter? When he finds out the truth, I just wonder if he'll still want to sing that song Much more could be said if I thought Continue with act two of Ms. Liberty One of the things I like best about riding a train is sitting here in air-conditioned comfort and watching the landscape rush by the window Wonder how fast we're going Oh, that's easy I just clocked it We're going 62 miles an hour How do you know that? Well, it took us just 58 seconds to travel from one mile post to another along the right-of-way And this chart here shows that a mile traveled in 58 seconds means that we're doing 62 miles an hour I clipped the chart from a handy booklet called Quiz on Railroads and Railroading published by the Association of American Railroads Hey, does the quiz also cover train whistle signals? It sure does But that whistle you just heard is a warning signal indicating that we're approaching a public crossing Yes, the answers to the questions of this traveler and to hundreds of other questions that you might ask about the railroads are answered in the colorful, informative Quiz booklet For instance, Quiz has a section on the fascinating history of railroads Another covers the ingenious methods and facilities which make possible the dependability, efficiency, and economy of railroad operations and the unparalleled safety of railroad travel and it is crammed with exciting photographs of railroads in action Yes, Quiz contains the answers to many of the things you may have wondered about concerning the railroads You can have a copy of this interesting booklet free of charge by merely dropping a postal card to the Railroad Hour Transportation Building, Washington, 6 DC Quiz is the most popular booklet ever written about railroads More than 3 million copies have been received by people everywhere Thousands of Railroad Hour listeners have already received copies So be sure to ask for your free copy of Quiz on Railroads and Railroading Tonight, send your name and address to the Railroad Hour Transportation Building, Washington, 6 DC I'll give you that address again at the end of this program Now, here is Act 2 of the Irving Berlin Robert E. Sherwood musical Miss Liberty dramatized by Lawrence and Lee starring Gordon McRae and Virginia Haskins with Hanley Stafford and Gloria Gordon Miss Liberty, Miss Liberty We welcome you here to our show With Banners and Screamers Would you like to dine some evening with the Asters? She's off to Would you like to play a week at Tony Pastors? She's off to Would you like to come to Trinity on Sunday? She's off to Would you like to launch a battleship on Monday? She's President to you Here's a- Here's a car drop from the famous Spirited Brother It's time to be sure, like money and the President so dear But mostly Mr. Bennett Let me welcome you to our shores I'm James Gordon Bennett, publisher of the New York Herald Be nice to him, Mike He's paid for your trip Oh dear, Mr. Bennett I'm charmed Have you met my grandmother at the Countess DuPont?  Well, I certainly love New York and I'm so glad to be here But I think there's just one teensy-winsy thing That I ought to explain to you Monique What is it, Grandmama?  Oh, I feel fine And you know, Mr. Bennett not only hired me back in his paper He gave me a $2 raise Oh, congratulations, heart Well, if this keeps up in 50 years, I could be editor of the paper Just think, if I hadn't discovered you I might have gone back to Prenders Falls and never a monad in nothing Oh, you know what you are What? A little fish in a big pond Has gotta have lots of heart For swimming around our big fish What if he's the least bit smart Back to his little pond He doesn't go The little fish spreads his fins And begins to grow, grow, grow In a big pond, alright A little fish But we gotta stand up and fly Town don't have to get out and roam Stop, tame, and begin to feed In the bigger pond Where the bigger fish And the bigger men be Yep, I guess I'm a pretty big fish now You! Oh, hello there, J.G. How's trick?  Miss Liberty, may I ask how old you are?  It seems the statue was carved More than 20 years ago May I inquire, mademoiselle, if you post for it In your cradle? Oh, I didn't post for the Statue of Liberty If you didn't? No But you said you did Oh, no, you said I did Young lady, you and the so-called counters Will be shipped out of the country on the next boat Now, wait a minute, Mr. Bennett You can't do that Can't I? Why don't you go down to the Bureau of Immigration To see them off? Boarding passengers, prepare to board ship Please don't be sad, Grandmama Who's sad? I'm surprised we got away with it As long as we did Countess, money Are they really going to deport you?  Don't worry, I'll get back in Nobody can say I was too young To post for the Statue of Liberty Oh, Monique You know, I'll take you back to Prenders Falls Of course, I don't have any money So I don't know how we'll get there I know her Let's see Went for an old-fashioned walk To the park Down an old-fashioned walk Thank you, ladies and gentlemen Lovely Virginia Haskins We'll be back in just a moment Our hearty thanks to Hanley Stafford Who was Mr. Bennett Ms. Gloria Gordon Who was the Countess And to our entire company Ms. Liberty with music by Irving Berlin And book and lyrics by Robert E.

Are you following what's happening in Afghanistan? Oh, indeed indeed the Saigon moment is here Right the Saigon moment is here That's going to be a cleansing going on there man. It's going to be brutal and bloody, right? And you have the Western powers to thank for that the United States, Canada, UK NATO nations of NATO nations basically, right? There's going to be a lot of innocence And some not so innocent. Afghanis that are going to pay a heavy price for collaborating with the enemy Deep Flake Chichot, what do you make of James? Records, I don't know who James Rickards is deep flake. Who's James Rickards? I don't know him. He doesn't ring a bell I'm bad with names though. So big see chichot. Have you talked about Afghanistan yet? Well, we just did yeah If so, I will rewash the vat view video If not, what's your stance? I feel this is more monumental fuck-up then then the entire pandemic No, I think the pandemic is really big everyone knew that this was gonna happen. This will shape I'm gonna continue reading I should read the whole thing before I start asking this will shape the world for decades in my opinion It it already did as soon as the United States went into Afghanistan. It reshaped the world everybody everybody that knew What Afghanistan is and it's a country. That's the Empire killer Everybody that knew what the hell was going on why they were going in there with pipelines and unical and Turkmanistan and basically Krasinski the great grand chessboard or whoever controls your Asia controls the world and all this so it is monumental indeed But everybody that knew About this that the build-up into the into 9-11 and the invasion of Afghanistan was in the late 1990s You had mass emails going around people fighting. We have to free the women in Afghanistan This this one didn't happen from 9-11 was a build-up to invasion of Afghanistan. It was a centralized state pushing an agenda sort of brainwashing Programming indoctrinating a society a country to accept a war People have to realize that this thing happening here didn't just happen It built up to that moment, right and the build-up to the invasion of Afghanistan didn't happen after 9-11 It happened pre 9-11. Okay, it happened pre 9-11 The rockets that Clinton said sent to Sudan.  The the live is lost in Africa because Clinton sent a rocket and destroyed one of the only pharmaceutical companies in Eastern Africa that provided medication for Livestock and I believe for humans as well, right because it was a chemical site for terrorists But it was a pharmaceutical company like literally it's like it's like another country coming over to across across our waters and Sending a rocket to blow up the modern Factories right like it's insane and at the same time where they destroyed that the same day the same ship sent a rocket to Afghanistan to try to assassinate Osama bin Laden and stuff like this is Clinton Build up to there and then at the same time emails were going around. Oh, we have to free the woman Afghanistan We have to free the woman Afghanistan. I got into a conversation with One of my friends wives at the time, right where she sent me this mass email Oh sign this petition. We have to go free the woman Afghanistan.  This is a build up to war.  You'd be working to help all the prostitutes in Vancouver because Vancouver is a prost in the late 1990s early 2000s stuff it it was Like I'm not talking you had two blocks of prostitution and the drug abuse and homelessness It was over the top. I'm talking you had 20 block in either direction where there's prostitutes all over the place, right? It was over the top It was crazy, right? You still have it So I wrote a big email saying if you really cared about women you'd help the women in your own city Instead of trying to recruit people to go invade Afghanistan, right? So everybody long story long reply Everybody knew what the end game was going to be with the US invasion of Afghanistan was gonna be a Saigon moment The question was how long it was going to take right We're there now and US is not just leaving Afghanistan in large part. They're leaving the region All they're going to do is go back to what they were doing before covert operations and Fun dissident groups and whatever whatever it's Game as usual, right? But why are they giving that up, right? They're giving that up because a lot of guns have been Turned towards American citizens, right literally take a look at Australia. There are troops in the cities Making sure that people don't leave their homes Where where did these troops train to do this? Australia right Oh, yeah, that's right news came out what year and a half go two years ago whistleblower came out and said, oh Australian troops were basically Snipering innocent farmers and stuff just killing them a random, right just random killing. Oh new soldier came Okay, here we're going through we're driving through the mountain, you know country side. Oh, there is there is a kid over there Well, you know plowing the field with the family shoot him. That's your that's your initiation into our Whatever Right, this is a whistleblower. This isn't me saying this. It's not hearsay. It literally happened from the top down It was coming down, right People have to have a bigger picture of what the hell is going on, right? So why is the united states pulling out of afghanistan because they have to they got no choice They're overextended like most collapsing empires and that's why empires collapse. They overextend themselves. They need to let go of Eurasia Right, who's filling the void? Man China Russia Iran India just became a lot more powerful Right India not as much because they're still pretty tired into united states But China and Russia just became huge powerful and so did Iran, right? I can honestly tell you In 2001 one of the conversations I used to have With people that supported the invasion of afghanistan was this people say oh afghanistan, we have to go on there Get the Taliban. We're gonna win.    What are you out of your mind?  How you gonna win a war against? In afghanistan against afghanis Occupy their land man, they're gonna bleed you dry Which is what happened with the Report that came out and of all places One of the mainstream propaganda's put this out. I don't know why they did it.  Well, take a look at the stocks of some of the warmongering Companies and take a look at how much, you know, simple Here, I'll I'll give you guys one bit of homework Take a look at What the wealth of obama Was when he took office how much was obama worth when he took office and how much he was worth When he left office All right In eight years obama was in office for eight years Do you think He would have been able to even put the deposit down For a marthe steward vineyard let alone buy the whole damn thing Right in eight years take a look at where obama's wealth went All right, I'm just guessing I haven't looked this up But I have looked in the past on other events Look at how much he was worth before he took office and how much he was worth after Maybe six months after and do this with all of your politicians You know Once you do this You know, which ones are the corrupt ones and you know, how many guilt things you're gonna need right I'm gonna scroll down gang and gang don't forget free assange free assange free assange Julian Sange is a publisher and journalist that has been crucified for trying to bring transparency and accountability of capitalist power to humanity Something that humanity desperately needs Right for more information see wikileaks.org Defend dot wikileaks.org or our Julian Sange and wikileaks playlist on censor two


The old man doesn't have long to live that he learns the truth about his gold mine. It might be the end of him Gun will travel starring mr. John Daner as Paladin San Francisco 1875 the Carlton Hotel headquarters of the man called Paladin Over here hey boy Yes, I didn't see you sit over in corner slide down in chair feet up on stool smoky cigar like man with nothing on mine Do I give that impression? Yes, I well you're quite right you see before you hey boy a man enjoying his leisure Now what can I do for you? Oh here? Telegram. Thank you See, let's see. Let's see Can you get up here? He doesn't waste words does he sign Matthew pen Matthew Penrod you know this man Oh, hey boy There was a time when I guess just about everybody knew Matt Penrod or at least knew about him Did you ever hear of the lucky penny mine the lucky penny mine? Yeah, no Well, anyway, it's up above Prescott in Arizona territory Matt Penrod had prosecuted for years all over the West with no luck Finally he was down to his last penny and the story is he flipped the coin tails He'd forget the whole thing and heads he'd give it one more try and the penny came up heads. Oh, so That when he found a lucky penny mine Did he make a big strike a big one a lot of gold was taken out of the lucky penny then poor Matt The vein ran out overnight completely gone. Oh Matt wouldn't believe the mine was worked out and he kept pouring more money into the thing until Now he finally went broke the last time I saw me was still there and that shut down mine digging around looking for that lost vein Oh, he don't give up. Yeah, it's not a sad too. I wonder what Matt was with me Can you get up here? I certainly can. Hey boy. Let's go pack When you need someone to do a specific type of job you hire someone specially trained to do that job After all, this is an age of specialization What you may not know is that right now there are about several hundred thousand men and women who have received special training And are searching for employment These folks many of whom are veterans have physical handicaps which actually often makes them better able to fill specific jobs They are all highly skilled because they have been taught to make best use of the physical and mental abilities. They possess Looking for help contact your state employment service and ask about physically handicapped workers Employing the physically handicapped is good business The last time I had occasion to visit the lucky penny. It was a ghost mine So when I arrived I was surprised as he smoked pouring from the smelter stacks and to hear unmistakable sounds of activity I wrote on to the ornate old house Matt Penrod had built for himself on the side of a hill He was waiting for me and a wide-screened porch that overlooked the mine Hey Are you mad? Look at her paladin.  Matt that sure is a beautiful sight.   Yeah And one day this fella come along said he'd heard about the mine one. No, if he could look around I Had him sized up for a real dude, but I said sure go ahead Well paladin if he didn't go poking around in them shafts and locate that lost vein Well, you always said it was there Matt. Yep Sure wish I was able to get a look at her And you know something Know what this fella's name is? Penny Joe pennies Joe penny. Yeah, you see lucky penny Well, anyway, he comes to me as a proposition to work the mine. He take over we go shares It's all right with me right now because I just like to see her going. I think I understand Just one bad thing though. You remember Charlie Charlie hudges The superintendent who was with you for so long. Yep Yeah, Charlie and this Joe just couldn't seem to hit it off couldn't work together Wasn't anything I could do about it paladin Just turned out that Charlie had to go that seems a shame sure was Sort of took the shine off the whole thing But now there's something else what's that our first shipment went out about three weeks ago headed for the mint But we lost it lost it. Yeah Between the mill and the railroad to tell me you mean it was held up Rob So they say you call in the law. No, I don't want the law in on this. That's why I sent for you It ain't so much. I want to know who did it. I just have to know who didn't And I want you to prove he didn't have nothing to do with it. Who? Charlie hudges. Oh Matt surely you don't think no, of course. I don't But then trying to tell me he did Joe penny some of their mother's pointing the finger at him and I ain't gonna have it You get to work paladin. You prove Charlie didn't have nothing to do with it I don't think that'll be very hard Matt. Well, I have a chance to meet this penny. He ain't here now Said he had to go east on a buying trip. I don't know but you get to work. All right, man Look at that mind paladin going like a house of fire It was late in the day when I left Matt's house But I decided to swing around and have a look at the mine. That wasn't easy a high wall completely surrounded the place I followed the wall until I found a gate a sign said keep out But I somehow didn't believe it the gate was open. So I started through That's far enough Can't you read?  I see Understand. No, but I hope to Very soon A fortress mine was an unusual thing in that part of the country and I began to wonder just how much old Matt knew about his lucky penny operations The hotel in town was musty from its years of disuse, but it was open for business. So I checked in and went up to my room I tried to figure just where to start to prove that Charlie Hodges did not steal the lucky pennies gold shipment. Yes I Remember me Charlie Hodges. I happen to be in town when he wrote true today. I thought I reckon I'm glad you did Charlie. Come on Come in. Thank you. I saw Matt this afternoon. Oh, what do you think? I looks old tired, but he's happy Yeah, he's happy. Maybe after all that's what's important. What one sit down Charlie Say Charlie Matt wants me to check that robbery of his gold shipment. Oh Charlie He wants me to prove that you didn't do it. It'll be easy. I didn't that convinces me Do you have any idea who did Charlie? Well, it's nears. I can figure nobody. What do you mean? I don't see how anybody could steal the gold. I don't see how there could be any gold Lucky pennies worked out. They're working the mine right now.  There must be on a 24-hour schedule. That's what's got me baffled Paladin I I know the lucky penny like I know the inside of my hand and I know worked out mine when I see one that vein Didn't just default it quit Matt doesn't think so. I know what about this Joe penny? Yeah, we didn't get along right from the start But funny thing he saw to it that I never had a chance to check out that vein He discovered even helpless as he is how could anyone fool an old miner like Matt? Matt isn't the man he used to be paladin You know besides a man believes what he wants to believe. Oh, you're right Hey, do you ever meet this Joe penny? No Believe me. He's just a cheap crook. You know what he's up to. I think so Investment swindle sure he wants to make the lucky penny look like a golden outfit So the suckers will want a piece of it and he had to fake the hold up to explain away Why there's nothing to show for all the activity exactly the worst thing when he collects his bootle He's gonna beat it leave the old man helpless Paladin I don't want to see that happen. Well, we'd have to prove and prove They're faking the operation. The only way to do it is get inside. I Tried it that didn't get very far What can we do Charlie? Well, you know paladin I've been thinking about this and there is a way There's no tunnel starts outside that wall. It's been sealed off from the main shaft But it won't take much of a charge to clear it Why don't we give it a try go out there first thing in the morning? Sure? I'm willing. I'll have the dynamite with me How long since this tunnel has been there?  Well, give me that dynamite stick here. You got the cap. Uh-huh when you find your spot on fusing Well about about here will make her fall right? All right Won't they hear the blast up there? Oh, not enough You got a crimp yet? Yeah, I'm ready to go. All right now get back away. You better get down on your belly It's a short fuse Charlie when you light it move fast. Yeah, he is very pretty Charlie I used to be considered one of the best powder monkeys in the West Glad to know I haven't lost my touch Come on, let's go. I Was happy to remember that Charlie knew the lucky penny like the inside of his hand It's all a bewildering maze to me But somehow we eventually reached the main portal and we were able to look out on the yard where the mill and Refinery were located and looks like we made a mistake when we figured disguise ourselves in these miners Those men out there look more like Barbary Coast riffraff.  There's chlorine gas. They got that refinery running full blast Is there any way we can get over there? Yeah, we can make it past those rifles We can duck behind the slag dump and get around the back way Come on take off that minors had it makes it conspicuous Wonder why they have no rifle guarding this spot. I guess he stepped over to take a hand in the poker game Say, you know paladin. I'm confused why Well, some of that slag we passed is hot like it was fresh dumped Well, that would mean they're going through the whole smelting process Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't have to do that just for show would think I can't see why They've got your gun. Yeah Have to shoot our way out if we get caught but I Want to try to get that storage vault over there? Where's that iron shed see the heavy door on it? All right, come on. Yep. Hey, we're in luck. It is locked. Oh, you look at that bars real gold. Oh, they see us. We shoot. No, no better to run Change to camels the camel blend of costy tobaccos has never been equaled for a real smoking satisfaction Have a real cigarette start to really enjoy smoking again Can to bounce all around us and suddenly we had a whole army on our tail I kept my eyes on Charlie's feet and ran around a slag dump across the yard and into the mine shaft And then it was dark and I followed the sound we climbed up slip down twisted turn We can stop now Take a while to find us here. I use a shortcut. You mean you actually know where we are number three shaft There's some storage chambers here Potter magazine tools things like that. You suppose we could buy the ladder I think so supply chambers right down here Take Paladin that was gold wasn't it? It sure was You really know you're way around this lucky penny, don't you? I thought I knew all there was to know about it Kind of got me baffled now. Oh, here's one. I'll light it up. Need any help? Oh, that's cheerful Paladin look, this is general storage What do you know about that? There must be tons and tons of that stuff pile up in here Gold watch case gold ring gold loving cup and gold chain Gold tooth. Oh Hey, you know Charlie All of a sudden the operation at the lucky penny isn't quite so baffling. It is to me I sure have to hand it to Joe penny. He had quite an idea Well, if you get this you tell me will you the way I see it Joe is using the lucky penny defense stolen gold This must be sort of a clearinghouse for gold loot from petty thefts and robberies all over the country Joe buys a cheap runs it through the smelter comes out legitimate Nice clean gold bars acceptable to the mint. Oh, you know about that. You didn't catch it I'm sure of it pretty smart. Yeah, maybe not so smart. He got found out. Yeah, we found him out But right now we're in this mine with a whole army of his rifleman after us We may never have a chance to prove it. I don't want to prove it. Why not? Well, you know and I know that old Matt hasn't got many days to live Can you imagine what it would do to him if this story came out? Well, you're right Charlie But we can't let them keep this up. Yeah, let's just spoil their little game scare them off run them out Paladin the powder magazine's right over here load up with as much of the stuff as you can carry We can start here with general storage The stick of dynamite sealed the entrance to general storage and then he retraced our steps through the mine Blasting shot every tunnel and chamber where the loot was stored the noise echoed and re-echoed and a whole hill began to shake And when we reached the portal we saw the rifleman in full retreat across the yard Charlie tossed his last stick of dynamite after them as to a man. They went over the high wall That evening I called on Matt Penron. I merely assured him that I was convinced beyond any doubt that Charlie was innocent I sure think he paladin Of course, I I know Charlie never done it, but I just had to prove it Sure, we's Charlie had considered coming back to the lucky penny Matt. What about this Joe penny or I had note from Joe That by and trip he went on he ran into some sort of difficulty He's gonna be detained long time Two to five years. He said oh I see Well, I think Charlie would be happy to come back and be worth his while The way things are popping at the mine Guess I'm silly old man paladin But you don't know what it means to me to sit here on my porch like this Hear them sound at the lucky penny Like this morning Seems kind of quiet tonight though But this morning and all that blasting are going on. Yes, sir. He Bob. I could tell Things was really a humming That's right, man. Things were Really humming. Oh This one just finished cleaning your room. That's very nice.
