It's a pleasure to be here. Yeah. You are clearly an underachiever. So I have to say that when I was doing my research on you, I was blown away by what you as one human have taken on and created in your lifetime. So I want to start there and just say, what has compelled you to make this your mission and to so fearlessly stick with it? Well, the mission is sort of complex, actually, Debbie, that I had originally planned to be an astronaut. I was the number one nominee for the United States Air Force Academy for New York State back in 1963 when I graduated from high school. I went to meet with Senator Jacob Javits, who was one of the two Republican senators for the state of New York. I explained to him why I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy to become an astronaut, to get to go out into outer space and get to meet the other members of the civilization that surrounded us. And he was sort of flabbergasted as the United States Senator. And he actually said to me, you actually believe that there's other beings here in our galaxy? And I said, well, sure, you do too. You must.   You know, you know that they're there. He was so taken aback that he actually confessed to me that he had already given his nomination to one of his major contributors, sons, and that he apologized and offered me the appointment to the Naval Academy. And I pointed out that I wasn't in the ships and boats. I was in the airplanes and flying into space. And he said, no, no, you can go there from the Naval Academy. But he said, you can get the congressional appointment from your local congressman if you want to go to the Air Force Academy. So I said, good, I'll take that instead. And it turns out the local, the local congressperson gave the appointment to the son of the mayor of Glenn's Falls, who was number seven, just in our congressional district competition. So I was kind of flabbergasted by this whole process. I'd spent a lot of time planning to go to the Air Force Academy. I hadn't applied to any other schools. I was just sure I was going to be able to become an astronaut. But I realized that I was going to have to become a lawyer first, because the system didn't seem to be quite, wasn't in tune. It was off. There were these kind of straight up political corruption dynamics going on. So I decided I would become a lawyer. So I ended up going to Harvard College and majoring in American foreign policy and in government studies. And then I was the Rose Scholar nominee from Harvard College, and then was drafted by my draft board and wouldn't allow me to leave the country to go get the Rose Scholarship at Oxford. So I refused to go and went on to Harvard Law School and became the co-founder of the Harvard Civil Rights Law Review and began a career as a civil rights attorney. And we initiated a case from the Harvard Civil Rights Law Review that ended up going directly to the United States Supreme Court and establishing the right of journalists to protect their confidential news sources. So that put me in very close with a lot of the major journalists and investigative reporters in the country. And I got recruited by the number one corporate law firm in the country who represented NBC, who was the client for the case. So I went there and in the context of doing the briefs in the United States Supreme Court, the case to establish the right of journalists to protect their confidential news sources, I ended up writing the friend of the court briefs for the New York Times as well. And for CBS and ABC and Washington Post. So I got to meet even more journalists. And so when the New York Times got the Pentagon Papers case, the Pentagon Papers, Jim Goodell, the general counsel of the New York Times called me to have us represent the New York Times in the major Pentagon Papers case. So I got to meet even a lot more journalists. And so that I was then I was then recruited to go to the number one criminal defense firm in the country, Attorney F. Lee Bailey in Boston. He brought me in because he had been retained by James McCord, the Watergate burglar, who was a former CIA wiretapping specialist who'd been arrested in the Watergate Hotel, along with the Cuban Americans that were in the hotel. And so I went to Lee Bailey's office and we were the firm that represented James McCord who blew the whistle on Richard Nixon in the Plumbers Unit. And so I began to get a lot of information about the covert operations, the criminal covert operations. Why were those people in the Watergate Hotel? What were they doing? Why were they wiretapping the telephones of Larry O'Brien who was the newly appointed head of the DNC, the Democratic National Committee? Why were they Cubans in the hotel? You know, why were they gunmen for the Traficante mafia in the hotel? And as I began to explore all of this information, I began to realize that our United States government wasn't just out of tune. It was playing an entirely different song than we had been taught in high school and in college and even in law school. And so I ended up going back to Harvard to do my master's work and PhD work in comparative social ethics, attempting to understand how it is that our country that was founded on such ideal principles could have strayed so far. And I came to discover that a lot of the ethos that we profess publicly to adhere to, we have never adhered to. It wasn't that I didn't know that we had massacred tens of thousands of Native Americans to take their land and resources away. It wasn't that I didn't know that we were built on slavery, human slavery. It wasn't that I didn't know those things. It's just that they hadn't quite registered because I was part of a privileged white male ruling class now with degrees from Harvard and Harvard Law School. And I had to come to discover that there's an old Irish aphorism. The Irish refer to Ireland as the old sod. That's how they refer to it. And there's an old Irish aphorism that says, ah, well, the old sod isn't what it used to be. But then it never was. And so I came to realize that I needed to do some deeper studying about our history, the moral ethics of our country, what natural law was all about. And so I went back and was doing my master's work and it just rolled over into the PhD program when I got recruited by the United States Jesuit Order. The United States Jesuit Order headquarters in Washington DC was looking for a general council. And since I already have my law degree and I was writing papers at Harvard Divinity School, one of the professors at Harvard Divinity School, Father Roger Couture, who teaches the course on the theological underpinnings of human rights, recognized me and what I was doing and writing. And he contacted the Jesuit headquarters and recommended me to be their new legal council for the brand new Jesuit headquarters in the United States. So I got recruited to go to the Jesuit headquarters. And there I was suddenly with the largest single order in the Catholic church, which is the largest single religious denomination in all of Western civilization, going back and forth to Rome and getting to meet there with the Vatican staff people and developing a planetary perspective rather than just the United States. And I was there when I was contacted when President Jimmy Carter was elected in 1976. Turns out that he immediately after being elected on November 4th of 1976, before the 20th of November, had contacted the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, who at that time was George HW Bush, who had been selected to head up the CIA by President Ford, who had replaced Richard Nixon when he was impeached, largely based on a lot of the information and evidence that evolved out of the Watergate break yet, as you recall. So I was intimately involved in that was actually approached by Chuck Morgan, who was the head of the Washington DC National Office of the ACLU to help draft the impeachment resolutions against Richard Nixon, because I happen to have known what the facts were behind the Watergate break in. And so that I ended up in Washington DC at the Jesuit National headquarters when President Carter was elected because he unseated then President Ford. And when he contacted George Herbert Walker Bush, the head of the CIA appointed by Ford to demand, he demanded information about the UFOs and about the possibility of their existing and extraterrestrial civilization, because he had seen a UFO when he was governor of Georgia. And it wasn't just a light in the sky or something that would blink weirdly or moved weirdly in the sky. He saw a full scale UFO. And so he knew that it was real. And so he wanted to find out about these. And George Bush Sr. refused to give him the information, stating that as President of the United States, he wasn't in a position to need to know that information, that this was a deep secret of the national security state. And that, you know, he was only going to be here for four years at the most eight, and was going to move on, whereas the national security state infrastructure had reason to know about this, but he wasn't going to tell the president. So President Carter contacted the House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee and had them contact the Congressional Research Service and demanded to have the Congressional Research Service conduct a secret investigation of all the information that existed inside the United States government about UFOs and the possibility that they were actually vehicles from an extraterrestrial civilization. So I was contacted by Marcia Smith, who was the head of the Science and Technology Division of the Congressional Research Service, and she asked me if I would be able to contact the Vatican to see if we could get the information from the Vatican out at the Jesuit headquarters about UFOs and potential extraterrestrial civilization. So I cleared that through my superiors at the Jesuit order, and very importantly, they agreed to have me do this. And so I reached out to the Vatican and they said no. They weren't going to give even the Jesuit headquarters in the United States this information. And so I told Marcia Smith that I apologize, but they weren't going to give it to us. And so she ended up asking me if I would go to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, to the SETI program, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and deliver a three-hour closed-door seminar to the top 50 scientists at SETI on the theological implications of contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. And so I did that in the context of preparing for that. I asked the Congressional Research Service to reach out and attempt to get access for me to the classified portions of the Project Blue Book. And much to her surprise and to my pleasure, I was granted that access. And so I got to actually see absolutely definite photos of UFOs, actually a crashed UFO with U.S. Air Force personnel all around it taking photographs and in camera film footage of it, etc. So I knew that this was true. So I went back and reported it to the Jesuit headquarters. And Father Bill Davis, who was my immediate superior, I was a candidate for the Jesuit priesthood by that time. And Father Bill Davis, when I reported this to him and showed him a yellow pad that I had copied symbols off this UFO onto this yellow pad that I had and gave it to him, he reached down and opened up his desk drawer and took out a Manila envelope and had me open it up. And there was a eight and a half by 11 black and white glossy photograph of a UFO in his desk, the head of the Jesuit office. And so I said, where did you get this? And he said, my sister gave it to me. And I said, wait a second, where did she get it? He said, her husband Michael gave it to her. He was the chief at the Seattle airport. He was a traffic controller at the Seattle airport. And one of his best friends who was a pilot, a commercial pilot, had taken this photograph out of the window of his airplane. And he was so frightened about turning it into anybody and letting them know that because he didn't want to lose his job, which we can talk about. But he said, I'm going to bring it to my best friend, Mike, and give it to him who's the air traffic controller at the Seattle airport. So he gave it to Mike. And Mike was worried about losing his job if he reported it to anybody. And so he took it home and he gave it to his wife, Doty. And he said, here, Doty, give this to your brother. He's a priest. So you say to yourself, what does that mean? Well, what does all that mean? What it means is that the United States Defense Department and the Central Intelligence Agency, part of the national security state, the same people that were refusing to give the information to the president of the United States, had undertaken a covert program of attempting to smear and destroy the reputations, the careers, the entire life of people in official positions who were attempting to push forward to find out what the information was about the UFOs that the national security state had obtained. Now, I began to look into this and investigate this. And I was in a position to have a lot of friends who were investigating reporters, as I pointed out, because of the work that I had done for them. And I had also Jesuit priests in 42 different countries who, in fact, they're going to say, don't talk about this. So I had access to a lot of investigators, a lot of Jesuit priests in different countries, had access actually to people in the Vatican, and I began a major investigation to find out what was really going on here. And I became absolutely convinced that a saucer, an extraterrestrial vehicle had crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, in July of 1947, and that our United States military had recovered, that they had recovered bodies of an extraterrestrial species, that they knew about this and they were concealing it, and that what had happened is President Truman was set up a secret committee, not within our government, not within the constitutional framework of our Democratic government, but selected a hand, selected a group of people that entailed people from the Central Intelligence Agency, but from private corporations, etc., and assigned the task to this private elite group to figure out what to do about the UFO phenomenon. And so as I went to the top heads of the 54 major religious denominations in the United States, who have Washington DC headquarters, and gathered them together and made a proposal to them to set up a special committee, representing all of the major religious denominations in the United States to get out ahead of this issue, not to be caught like the Catholic Church was with Galileo and Copernicus, who were so wedded to a worldview that was based on a proposition that our planet was located in the physical center of the universe, and that they built an entire mythology around that particular postulate, and so that when anyone tried to challenge it, they basically arrested them and put them under house arrest, and actually burnt Giordano Bruno to the stake at a stake for trying to insist that the earth wasn't in the center of the universe. But once they lost that battle and had to acknowledge that science made it clear that our earth was not in the center of the physical universe, what they did is they immediately constructed another model of a pyramid with our human species being at the very apex of the pyramid of all sentient life in the entire universe, and they spun out this myth that somehow the physical universe, the entire physical universe was simply a stage on which for our single human species on this one planet to play out its drama of evolving from a single celled organism in the primordial slime of the planet into a star-faring nation, and that we would go out into the universe and conquer the universe and spread our seed throughout the universe, and this was a new mythology that they were engaged in. What's happened, of course, is in the course of all of that, of my looking into this information with the particular resources that I had at my disposal, I ended up being contacted by Dr. John Mack in 1994, like 20 years later, to ask me to represent him because he was the head of the Department of Clinical Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and he had had a number of these high-ranking military officials who were attempting to insist upon filing official reports of UFOs. They thought this was a very serious issue. They said, look, these are flying around on our planet. We don't know where they are or where they're from, but we believe that they're extraterrestrial and that they're displaying a technology that is so vastly beyond anything that we have, that this can't be anything that's been made on this planet. They were traveling at 43,000 miles an hour inside our atmosphere, which would burn any other vehicle to a crisp. We've all seen that with our moon landings and stuff coming back into the Earth's atmosphere, they have to be extremely careful because their whole craft could burn up on the friction of the air in our atmosphere. Here were these vehicles flying at 43,000 miles an hour inside our atmosphere and plummeting from near space, coming down to the surface of our oceans in less than one second, coming to a complete abrupt stop, which would subject them to 600 Gs of centrifugal force and it would tear any assembly apart, except that it left them completely unharmed. Then they would go submerged beneath the ocean and travel at over 200 miles an hour under the water. This technology was being observed by the United States, by our military and by our radar and they were keeping it secret. It was all being passed up the line to this secret group that was somehow in charge of figuring out what to do about this, but it was not subject to any congressional review. It wasn't subject to any kind of democratic oversight. It wasn't even known about by some of the highest levels of our military. When any given major officer tried to report it and get it investigated, he was immediately ordered to go get a psychiatric examination. Part of the effort to deter them from doing this. Some of these people had been sent to Harvard Medical School to get this type of an examination and Dr. John Mack, who was the head of the Department of Clinical Psychiatry, was the one who administered these psychological tests. After doing several of these, he was astonished because he said, look, this certainly is no career builder for these people to be making this up. They're all talking about virtually the same thing. They're describing the same technologies. Because of that, he ended up having other people sent to him. People who had not only seen these vehicles, but who reported in a very sincere, incredible manner that they'd actually had direct contact, physical contact with some of the occupants of these particular vehicles. And so John Mack was thunderstruck by this and began this investigation of his own. That he would not hypnotize people. What he did instead was this thing called holotropic breathing. It was a deep breathing exercise, sort of a Zen or Hindu kind of practice where they would get completely centered and relaxed and they could remember things in great detail without being hypnotized. And what he began to do is ask them questions about what it is they saw? What did the beings look like? What did it look like inside their craft? And he began to realize that they were all talking about virtually identical events that were happening to them. And that they had never talked to each other. They hadn't been in any way interested most of these people in UFOs or extraterrestrial life before that experience. And so he wrote an article for the New England Journal of Medicine, the top peer reviewed digest for the American medical community. And he submitted these things saying this is an extraordinary event that's going on here. Here we have entirely credible, totally reliable professional people reporting this. And nobody's doing anything about it. They're trying to pretend that they're crazy. And so he sent in the New England Journal of Medicine refused to publish it. And now Dr. John Mack was a Pulitzer Prize winning author. He had written the definitive psychobiography of T.E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia was a Pulitzer Prize winner the head of the Harvard Department of Clinical Psychiatry who had written dozens and dozens of professional articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, not only refused to publish it, but they sent the application back, unopened, refused to open it and reported it to him that they weren't going to open it and they weren't going to read it and they weren't going to report on it. And so John Mack then contacted a publisher and had it published as a book. And as soon as the book was published, the dean of the medical school came to see him and actually had him have to report to his tribunal of a Harvard faculty committee in the legal council for Harvard was on the faculty committee, the dean of the medical school and chairing the whole committee was Dr. Arnold Relman who was the editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine who had refused to publish the article to begin with and they began to excoriate him. And so Dr. Mack reached out to me as by that time a comparatively well-known national lawyer and asked me to represent him. And so I did and in that context we met with Lawrence Rockefeller and Lawrence Rockefeller agreed to fund an entire grand rounds to the Harvard faculty on the issue of extraterrestrial life and the reality of extraterrestrial life and the UFO phenomena. And when we confronted them with that they freaked out and dropped all the charges against them. I ask you a question about that because I just had Steven Bassett, Steve Bassett on the show. I know a little bit you know what he shares as well he brings up the Rockefellers. Did they have a personal anyone in the family have a personal extraterrestrial experience that they were so willing to fund and support the disclosure of all of this information? There was no they it was just Lawrence and I talked to Lawrence Rockefeller about that and it turns out that he had never had any direct experience either or anybody in their family but his best friend in school had a direct experience. It was the Prince of Lichtenstein who actually was on was hiking in the mountains and I think the Alps or somewhere in Europe for a summer vacation and walked right up onto one of the UFOs that was sitting in a meadow and he walked over to it and put his hand on it physically. So he knew that it was an absolutely real thing and he told Lawrence Rockefeller about this as his best friend. So Lawrence knew that it wasn't absolutely any reason at all for his best friend to make this up to tell him and so he developed a personal interest in it. So it was just Lawrence Rockefeller himself personally that had this intense interest about this. So he agreed to fund a Grand Rounds at Harvard and so I was preparing to do that and John Mack introduced me of course to virtually everybody in the UFO field you know Stanton Friedman, Bud Hopkins, you know everybody and so I got to as John Mack's personal attorney I got to be personally introduced to all of these people and so I got to meet all of them to bolster the previous investigations that I was engaged in so I got this unique access to all of these different people and when they dropped the charges against John when we threatened offered wished that we could make this Grand Rounds presentation to them when they dropped all the charges John created this group called the Project for Extraordinary Experience Research at Harvard the peer group and they had experienced come in and had these groups where they sat and talked to each other. I was privileged to be able to sit in on a lot of these conferences and discussions among these people so I knew a lot of these people that had this direct experience. I got to vet of these people so that John would make sure that these were people that were honest and sincere and incredible people and because of that in 2001 I was contacted by Dr. Stephen Greer who was putting together the disclosure project to present at least two dozen government witnesses to the at the National Press Club in Washington DC in May of 2001 and to brief the staffs of the House of Representatives and the United States Senators on this and so I was asked by Stephen to be general counsel for the disclosure project and I was the one that undertook the vetting of who the 24 people were that were going to be presented as witnesses and so I got to meet all of those people as well as well as all of the other people a lot of the other people that Stephen Greer had interviewed and had you know video footage of lengthy interviews with all of them and I got to review these and determine who I thought the most credible witnesses were going to be and so I did that and I also was later with Steve Bassett I was brought on as general counsel to the citizens hearings on disclosure that Stephen and the other folks put together in 2013 so I got to meet all of those witnesses and so now most recently I've been retained by Lewis Elizondo. I want to get to there I want to just go back for a minute because how I actually came to become aware of you Daniel is through Dr. Stephen Greer's documentaries which are prominently featured in and it was clear how knowledgeable and articulate you were and so I became fascinated and here you are I want to know since you appeared in Greer's documentaries which by the way folks you can get on I think it's all on Netflix very accessible it's all free and highly recommended how was the experience once his documentaries were released has the needle moved at all has anything beneficial become of it? Well I think I think the the actual event that has triggered this latest I should call a surge of interest and stuff about the UFO phenomenon was actually the resignation of Lou Elizondo. Lou Elizondo back in 2008 had been brought on as the the chief of security for a new top secret defense department study of the UFO phenomena that that Senator Harry Reid the majority leader for the Democratic Party and the State Senate along with Ted Stevens from Alaska in Dan Inouye from Hawaii had pushed through a 22 million dollar appropriation to set up a secret investigation inside the Defense Department it was under the auspices also of the the Secretary of State or excuse me Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Lou was brought on as the chief of security as a specialist in security over intelligence information and then he was made the head of it he was made the executive director of the entire project and Lou spent that entire time for some eight years as the director of the project after having been two years as the chief of security for the project and he was becoming growingly frustrated because it was clear to him that there was a completely unconstitutional protocol that was operating inside the Defense Department blocking not only the top level military officials that should know about this phenomenon but blocking the United States Congress blocking the president of the United States and this is a 2017 this this what this went all it was a 10-year period from 20 2007 all the way to 2017 he was there for 10 years you know and that he spent 10 years trying to get this information trying to investigate it find out what was going on and what he was discovering is that instead of there being an honest way of dealing with all this that they were lying there was a concentrated program of lying dissembling lying to the American people lying to the American Congress that fabricating information destroying the lives of a private American citizens destroying the lives of political officials destroying the lives of military officials who were trying to figure out what this phenomenon was and so that he became growingly frustrated over this he wrote a letter of complaint to try to get to the Secretary of Defense General Mattis he was blocked the people in the Defense Department locked up his his complaint and wouldn't wouldn't communicate it and so he wrote a letter of resignation to the Secretary of Defense Mattis and resigned but not before he had secured the declassification of three major F-18 Super Hornet gun camera videos of UFOs that had been all around the USS Roosevelt and the USS Newitz major carrier groups and that they had launched their their planes to investigate these UFOs had actually gotten video footage of them Lou Elizondo secured the declassification of these and then resigned and he and Christopher Mellon who was the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence under both President Bill Clinton and under George W. Bush who had retired joined with him and they brought these videos to the New York Times and my having been legal counsel for the Pentagon Papers back in 1971 I was quite familiar with the seriousness with which the New York Times takes the potential release of any previously classified information so that that was a the the major event that triggered this whole event was was Elizondo quitting number two is getting these videos and bringing them to the New York Times number three the New York Times deciding to publish them so that they they released them over their internet website the videos and then on the 17th of December of 2017 they published on the front page of the New York Times the fact that UFOs were real that this is not swamp gas this is not you know misidentification of flocks of birds these are not weather balloons these are vehicles these are our real vehicles a real phenomenon they're functioning in an intelligent manner they're evading our radar they're capable and they started elucidating the criteria in the article that they're traveling at 43,000 miles an hour you know that they're undergoing 60 g's of uh or 600 g's of pressure they can go 200 miles an hour under the oceans they're being tracked by our nuclear submarines through their sonar they're being tracked by all of our radar and this is a and this was an extraordinary event that took place this publication by the New York Times of the reality of this because so many people among the intelligentsia in the United States look to the New York Times as sort of their their metric of whether or not something is credible whether or not this is real and so that it represents a step that has been taken by the intelligentsia in the United States to demand the the public revelation of the reality of this phenomenon and so this changes the whole 75 year history of the UFO phenomenon that began in earnest after the Roswell event in July of 1947 so may I ask you so with this decades and decades that you've got of information that most eyes and ears have not seen or heard and the people that you've gotten to interact with what is your intention about why they're here why are the celestial beings busy coming here what is their interest fascination or mission well it's a it's a two-step process the first the first area of inquiry is why is it that this is being concealed why is it that the United States military command structure can't get access to this information why is it that the members of Congress can't get information about this why is it that Presidency United States can't get information about this what it is is that there's very clearly this elite group there's a super ultimately secret group that is garnering all of this information are they related well they obviously have reached into the DoD because they can task military people to go to the sites of a crash and recover the crash and cordon off the entire area declare martial law basically around the entire area ban people from coming near it and they bring the the craft to right field now right Patterson field in Ohio they have control over area 51 uh s4 uh in in Nevada where they bring these vehicles they've been involved in attempting to back engineer the vehicles right that was my question so is this ultimately about creating weapons or spacecraft to mimic all the technology that they're pulling apart looking at from out outer space well because because they they view they view the back engineering of this technology as a means of developing a weapon uh a a a uh a fighter jet a plane that can can do these incredible things to project us military power over the planet uh that there's there's an old Sufi saying that when a pick pocket meets the saint all he sees are his pockets uh and uh and so that when you have a national security state infrastructure that's been established here in the united states since december of 1947 with the passage of the national security act of 1947 they perceive everything that they can't dominate in control as a potential threat uh of course which includes the citizens of the united states that's why they've been involved in in in criminal projects like operation shamrock and co-intel pro to try to surveil people in the united states to get get us under their control uh in that so ever since the creation of this national security state here in our country in in december of 1947 this elite has been viewing itself as being basically in charge uh and that they view members of congress to be just a bothersome event they they view presidents of the united states to be a bothersome event they view even the high ranking military officials to be a bothersome event and so that the that my opinion has come to be that this elite is trying to in fact monopolize the technology and they not only want to monopolize the technology to be able to make billions and billions of dollars in profit by manufacturing a military aircraft that that integrate this particular technology to make as much money as they possibly can for their shareholders uh but they're also are interlinked with the shareholders who own the major petroleum companies uh in natural gas companies and what they're trying to do is they're trying to withhold this technology from our human family so that they that their shareholders in their oil corporations can make as much money as possible uh as long as possible and even though they're destroying the entire climactic system of our planet now uh with global climate change uh they're still withholding the technology that could potentially provide an alternative source of electrical energy for our people on our planet because they are so greedy and so selfish uh that this group has commandeered unto itself these these particular technologies now at least of the second question that you ask is that well why is it that the extraterrestrial species itself doesn't break through this and say look it uh they've discovered that there's this nasty elite of one one hundred percent of one percent of our people that are greedy in in keeping this technology for themselves to make profit for their shareholders and for themselves why don't they intervene why don't they just come in and say look here's the technology you need uh uh in what what there's there's two things that in my opinion based upon I don't know 45 years or so of of my working in this particular field it is true it isn't just the simple thing that like in Star Trek oh well they've got this this uh prime directive that they can't interfere with any other civilization so what what it what it really is is that they have a much more subtle mechanism by means of which they they garner the trust of people on a planet such as ours uh and that they that they uh our planet uh is it's not the only planet in our galaxy that gestates life but it's one of the few uh there's a comparatively rare event to have a planet that actually generates life up out of its its chemical elements that the that our planet generates gestates life on our uh in our in our planet and there are others in the in the galaxy but these are so rare uh that that the the extraterrestrial civilization has what they view as a collective interest in protecting those planets because they're they're actually harvesting DNA uh flora and fauna from our planet to help seed life elsewhere in the galaxy and so the what they do is they leave the planet unmolested uninterfered with as much as it can the problem is is that if in fact a species arises on one of these planets where they start to threaten the actual viability of that planet as a source of gestating life then they have to start making themselves better known and that's why we began to see their appearances in dramatic form right after the detonation of the nuclear weapons uh at the end of world war two and and that's why the first crash the saucer that crashed in 1945 was less than 11 miles away from the trinity site where we detonated the first nuclear bomb that's why the roswell crash that occurred in july of 1947 was at the 509th bombing group it was the only only air base in the entire on the entire planet that had atomic weapons uh and that this has been repeated over and over again that they've flown over our minute man sites and turned off the missiles to show that they can do this uh and very importantly the the contact the direct personal contacts that have been experienced by hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people a huge significant plurality of the people report that in their face-to-face communications with the extraterrestrial beings the extraterrestrial beings are trying to warn us they're trying to say look at you have to stop burning these fossil fuels you have to stop burning petroleum coal and gas to you're going to destroy the climactic system of your whole planet and you have to get rid of these nuclear missiles and nuclear weapons you're going to totally you can contaminate the entire planet for millions of years you know i mean the the half-life of plutonium is 250 000 years you know and so that they're they're trying to communicate this but they're trying to do it indirectly by not disrupting our our society by saying oh look we're only part of a huge galactic civilization what they're trying to do is they're trying to communicate this information to our citizens and our citizens when we get this information and they try to tell anybody about it they're being targeted by this CIA in secret defense department program of crushing them of destroying their reputation destroying their family life you know poisoning they're making making people's families think that they're insane you know constantly intentionally choreographing that narrative to get these people to stop doing this so so that what we see happening here is that that we are in the very brink of being victimized by this extraordinarily narrow elite on our planet and we have allowed ourselves to be dominated by that and so that one of the tests of a civilization of whether or not we're worthy to become you know members of the galactic civilization is whether we can overcome this inclination on the part of a tiny elite to dominate and control for their own personal self-interest because their consciousness is so low their consciousness is so low that they they are terrified when they stand out beneath the starry sky in nighttime rather than being awed by this fabulous wealth of life on other star systems all around us they live in terror they experience this terror of being completely alienated they they look into space and see nothing but rocks and in cold death with no oxygen so what they do is they recoil into themselves and they contract and they start to try to establish domination and control over everything around them it's a it's a very specific it's these people are rooted in their root chakra they're they're attached to their root chakra and that chakra is dominating their entire consciousness that they are just desperate to survive in their own individual incarnated capacity this has to do with consciousness that's why the conscious life expo is so important that's that's why all of these things to raise consciousness of people the reason from the very beginning that I wanted to be an astronaut when I first discovered what stars are when I sat out in my little grassy yard in forehand in New York I've heard New York state I would look up and see this huge tapestry of stars and and I would see the stars pulsing out and I said oh look at there's there's planets around those other stars isn't this fantastic and it became so weird to me that we as a human species on our planet in light of this dimension of reality are doing the things to ourselves that we're doing yeah we're we're using our creativity to to dig into the earth and raise up the metals to make guns and bullets to shoot lead into hot hot lead into each other's bodies because we draw lines on the on the soil and say you can't come on my side of this this line uh you know in the in the what it was is that these kinds of conduct on the part of our human family that are so contrary to the natural laws of our universe uh is is a reflection of our low consciousness the higher your consciousness is more comprehensive your experiential uh experiences of the of the reality around you right so if certain it sounds like a certain megacorporations would only step out of the way these et advanced technologies could actually benefit our entire humanity and planet and if it would stop controlling we could have a completely different outcome so let me ask you a couple questions do you think we're any closer to full UFO disclosure is there any hope well I think it's it's I don't think that I don't think that we can rely upon you know conscious disclosure uh by the national security state people uh until you get rid of the national security state the by definition the national security state exists rooted in this bizarre consciousness you know and they lie and they dissemble uh you know when I had double 182 at harvard college under henry kissinger right and henry kissinger in the very first day of the class he would say uh well gentlemen he says uh this I was the last all-male class at harvard college right he says well gentlemen he says if there's any man here in this class who believes that our nation cannot look high and cheat and steal uh and even kill to pursue our own national interests then you shouldn't be in this class right that was what he said to us you know and I said holy mackerel I said I'm staying in this class I want to see what they're talking about what they're planning what they're doing and that's why that's why right at the very beginning I had a different consciousness because of my sense of expanded consciousness of taking in as a reality the existence of other star systems in our galaxy and other planets and other lives in our galaxy it is seen that every all these kind of at henry kissinger and other people were so narrow and so confined and so completely incorrect uh that that I had to do something about this you know and so what I've done is I've stayed open even in the midst of my doing the other cases with you know the watergate burglary and the pentagon papers and you know the war stuff and all that I always think yeah yeah I stayed open I always stayed open to this other issue and so whenever the opportunity arose uh to participate in this process of trying to not make the government necessarily the national security state expose what they aren't going to tell you but to get rid of the national security state to have a genuine functioning social democracy uh in our country and to share this information with other people around the world how we can have an honest and open democratic self-governing process where we can share the resources of the planet we can share the expertise that people develop in different countries and have a planetary culture you know this is the level of consciousness that actually qualifies us for citizenship in the in the galactic civilization but if we don't do that if we allow ourselves to be dominated and controlled by like one one hundredth of one percent of the population of our planet then in fact we need to remember all species do not survive all species do not survive if you're not capable of uh arising in adjusting yourself in your activities to the reality around you you will become extinct and that's what that's what the threat is right now we are facing a potential extinction event uh with the with the we see it right here as we gather here today we see massive flooding you know all through the the gulf coast you know all the way to new york city and in philadelphia underwater california all of northern california burning to the ground thousands of homes being burnt down you know in in these raging tornado fires drought drought uh encompassing parts of africa the middle east we have wars going on now over we just withdrew from afghanistan after 20 years why because our middle our national security state invaded the middle eastern oil fields to try to capture and maintain control over those oil fields at the end of world at the end of the cold war to keep china from getting access to oil that was what really was going on the entire thing was a complete set of lies total fabrications on the part of the national security state oh saddam hussein has nuclear weapons he's going to blow us all up total lies and the fact is we know their lies we now know that their lies uh but they still stayed they stayed for decade after we knew that these were transparent lies that were being foisted upon us by the national security state so we have to get busy we have to not only in california pass the california green new deal which our office is drafting the remaro institute is drafting a 350 page comprehensive green new deal for the state of california uh the democratic party has a two-thirds super majority in both the state assembly and the state senate we have a democratic governor in place who will sign the bill into law we can demonstrate that we can get to zero carbon emissions by what you can do is you can contact the the remaro institute this remaro institute dot org uh and there's there's let's green california dot com let's green california dot com uh and the remaro institute dot org and you can find all that there's an action center there so that people can contact uh governor neusam demanding that he declare a state of climate emergency in the state of california everybody can go out and vote everybody can go out and vote in this recall this is preposterous you know that they've got 46 other candidates uh they're in this recall thing and unless gavin neusam gets 50 plus one vote he he's going to be removed and the person one of those 46 candidates who gets only like eight to 10 of the vote out of all the other votes could be governor and there's there's these like larry elder is one of the one of the candidates who's an absolute maniac he's a he's a right wing fundamentalist talk show host who's a total qanon conspiracy theorist who wants to doesn't believe in global climate change uh i mean he's he's a maniac uh and the fact is that he's leading now in the polls because he's got this virulent uh following uh that are organizing and getting all their people to vote and most of the most of the liberals and progressives going oh well you know governor neusam you know i'm not totally happy with him anyhow or you know oh i heard that he he won't declare even a state of climate emergency in the state of california why should i bother supporting him you know that's crazy talk that's crazy talk i mean people have got to they get a call get on the internet and go to romero institute.org lessgreencalifornia.com and there's an action center you can sign a letter going to and we'll send it directly to the governor to demand that he declare a state of climate emergency in california you can find out all about the green new deal bill we got a 50 page outline of the bill we're working with uh with people in the senate we're working people in the in the state assembly we're doing all the grit you know logistical work that needs to get done but our people have to be have to be mobilized we have to come to grips with this it's important to remember the intersection of this whole thing is this is the with the rise of global climate change and the the uh elevating of the net of the sea levels that as you know what's happening is people think that because the melting of the ice packs on the north and south pole that the billions of tons of wind into the ocean every year is what's really causing the sea level rise it's the heat it's the increased heat of the planet the mean global temperature is exciting the molecules of water and expanding the size of the oceans and so the the sea levels are rising we've already seen Fukushima in japan what it causes increases the storm surges because the storms are getting more and more violent as we have seen and the storm surge flooded the Fukushima nuclear reactor they're now pouring you know thousands of gallons of water a totally radioactive water out of that facility into the pacific ocean every single day every single day and it turns out there's another 115 new power plants directly on the sea coasts around our planet so we can be looking at 115 Fukushima's you know exploding with a storm surge filling up their their their nuclear site and causing the explosion of those facilities poisoning our oceans and with the flow of the thousands and tens of thousands of gallons of fresh water out of the melting ice caps on our planet what it's doing is it's lowering the salination levels of the ocean and lowering the density of the water in the ocean even though they're expanding in the underwater currents that flow from the equatorial regions of our planet both up into the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere that generate the the temperate zones where 70 percent of all the food on the planet is grown is is in danger because as the as the water the density of the water decreases the the underwater currents will rise to the surface and dissipate and and the the equatorial regions of the planet by 2026 with the exact level of carbon emissions that are being emitted as you and I sit here right at this moment into our planet's atmosphere by 2026 if this continues that the entire equatorial region of our planet is going to go above three degrees centigrade increase over the beginning of the industrial age and what's going to happen is going to start killing the rainforests killing not not just cutting them down and burning them so that they can grow more cattle so that they can have more meat for people to eat but but the fact is that they're going to start killing the rainforest and the rainforests are the lungs of our planet they're the ones pulling carbon down out of the atmosphere and transforming it into oxygen for our planet but in by 2026 if we don't get to net zero by 2026 then what's going to happen is those rainforests are going to be started to be killed by the temperatures of over 130 140 degrees they're going to turn from carbon drawdowns into giving them up more carbon because they're rotting and decaying and dying in the oxygen is going to be depleted on our planet we have to understand that we are in the eschaton we are at that point now where the the moral turpitude of this portion of the people our human family are killing our planet and our people are shifting around one foot from another and pacing back and forth saying what was me what was me isn't somebody going to do something you know we all have to do something we all have to mobilize we all have to go to the romero institute dot org we need to go to uh uh let's green california dot com we got to write letters to the governor we got a vote to stop their call there got to be a governor in that office is going to sign our bill when we get it passed and you have to be ready to be mobilized and we've got six major senate districts out of the out of the 40 that we've targeted we've got another 15 different assembly districts that we've gotten targeted that are the swing votes on the key committees inside the senate and the assembly who have to pass this bill out of those we know what we need to do uh you you all you get people need to do is know where to come who is is doing this work we're doing this work just like i've been doing for 50 years and this is the intersection between the ufo phenomenon existence of extraterrestrial life and the issue of global climate change and also the issue of nuclear weapons because the private nuclear power plants were all created simply as a ruse for continuing to to build nuclear weapons that they wanted to have those nuclear power plants to rationalize the continued generation of plutonium you know we did the karen so good case out in oklahoma which was the nuclear reprocessing plant where they were going to try to reprocess the spent nuclear fuels from the 113 nuclear power plants in the united states they're going to bring yeah bring bring the spent fuel there you know there are two different cases we also did three mile island we did the three mile island case to stop them from pumping the radioactive effluence from the core into the sesquihanna river we did the karen silkwood case out in oklahoma to stop the reprocessing plant where they were smuggling 98 pure bomb grade plutonium that had come from the waste materials from the nuclear power plants to deliver nuclear weapons to israel and iran both israel and iran they were delivering special nuclear materials and under the agreement that they shared them with who south africa under the apartheid government of the african or government and and brazil under the the the days of blood and iron their fascist government that was in brazil at the time you know this is the national security state this is the the sinful structure that has evolved on our planet and we as a people have to rise up and do everything in our power to disempower this national security state to disassemble the national security state to get rid of the national security act of 1947 and we also have to get rid of these corporations you know this this private shareholder stockholder corporation didn't even exist until 1872 this whole device by means of which the owners of all the resources of the corporation are completely immunized against any personal liability for whatever the corporation does that they own the stock in and the management are all completely personally immunized the only thing that's liable is the corporation itself and its assets and so it has no conscious whatsoever no conscience whatsoever all it does is pursues maximization of the short term profits for their stockholders it's like a it's like a a beast out of control and we have to get rid of that that is a fundamentally sinful structure the the private shareholder corporation we have to get rid of it uh not just try to tame it not just to try to rein it in like frankelyn roosevelt tried to do you know after the massive depression of the 1929 you know we have to get rid of them if anybody wants to be an entrepreneur and gather together their friends and invest in making a product fine but you have to be held responsible for what your product does and if your product hurts people or kills people you have to be personally liable but that's perfectly sound and reasonable that's we've developed the entire Anglo-American common law to hold people responsible for what they do the corporations have been designed to protect them and to let them get away with you know pouring sludge into our atmosphere pouring poisons into our waterways you know killing our our planet and getting away with it these are sinful structures yeah and we who have a higher level of consciousness need to move from a place of high consciousness not to kill these people not to you know not to have to you know kill them and get rid of them what we have to do is we have to take over the democratic structures of our own governments and we have to spread the democratic concepts around the world in time to save our planet okay so so that's that's what the message is that's the issue of foes issue of extraterrestrial nuclear weapons the issue of global climate change they're all part the same thing that we have to deal with that's why the life expo and other conscious conventions are extraordinarily important hundred percent and i i do want to make sure to tell folks who are listening to you and would like to go in person the LA conscious life expo it's really worth it and our guest here daniel shan is going to be there he's speaking on saturday september 18th as well as sunday september 19th just so you know you can go in person that's what i would recommend but if for whatever reason you cannot you can also live stream the entire event and daniel this is dare to dream so what are you next dare to dream i i dare to dream that our people will mobilize here in the state of california to pass the green new deal i i dream that we will then on a national level mobilize to pass a national green new deal we will transform our culture from a supply side economic model of just our whole culture does nothing more than what the corporations want to supply to us as products and into a demand driven economic system that will respond to the demands the needs of the people in democracy will flourish that's what that's what i dream and i i work at it we've been trained all of us interestingly enough i've been trained to believe in that dream what we have to do is wake up and dream the dream into life that's what we have to do yeah yes 100 i love that dream i love those websites so folks i just urge you to get involved after what you heard the romero institute dot org and look for let's green california so important daniel i thank you so much for coming on the show today and for everything you shared with us terrific debbie i appreciate it as a privilege i end today's show with this quote from metrodorus of kiosk it is unnatural in a large field to only have one shaft of wheat and in the infinite universe only one living world to consider the earth as the only populated world infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field sown with millet only one grain will grow subscribe to the dare to dream show i answer all the comments thank you for being on this journey with us and you're going to want to hear next week's number one transformation conversation my guest is going to be dr connie's wig she is the author of three books on the shadow and the reinvention of age she's going to be talking about the inner work of age shifting from role to soul and if you're listening to us on podcast and you'd like to see myself and my guest go to youtube.com slash debbie dashinger thanks for joining us today and create that big celestial universal healthy planet humanity dream that daniel was talking about


Welcome back to the School of Cartoons, it's Tim and Jack and we're back for part two of our back lever where we're going to look at banded back lever progressions. So to get our back lever progressions now down we've got to sometimes find a way to make it a little bit easier because just managing your whole body weight in one go is pretty difficult when you first get into this. So we're going to use the assistance tool from our locker. Hands down there locker. Which is our bands. These are going to provide a simple way just as you would do if you were doing some more traditional weight training just taking weight off a bar. These are going to take a little bit of weight off our body weight and are able to practice those progressions. We're going with the thin one, the little thin red one because, me and Tim are quite good at back levers, but you can progressively build even just with the exercise here. You can start with a big fat green or blue one and you can work your way down as well. You'll be surprised. You don't need as much support as you might think you will do. But it is important that you pick a band which means you do some work because when you do this on a workshop and sometimes a big band means you're just literally hanging there guys.  So pick something which still means you're going to put some strength in the tank. So this first part of this is just getting comfortable with the band now. We actually set it up just so that we don't get ourselves twisted in a tangle or thinking the band is there and falling off it. So keep it very very simple. The band goes through on the inside of the ring and then you put your hand directly on top of it. No need to turn your knots but just keep your hand on top. The other band goes over the other ring and then your hand goes on top as well. And as long as that stays on top in your palm and you don't let go of the ring the band isn't going anywhere. Okay so then first step we're just going to look at how we get into this skin the cap position. So what Tim's going to do this is going to act as a cradle. He's going to try and lift his hips and put his hips on top of the band. As you see when he did that if you just come back again Tim and just show us again you'll see that to get the hips a little bit higher he's probably going to do a little bit of a pull-up more than he might do normally. So he's going to pull just to get a little bit more height so he doesn't get anything caught underneath the band and then he makes sure he's got his hands facing forward and then he can use the band to support him as he goes around in that skin the cap and it might be that you found it difficult in skin the cap to start with and this is a great little progression for you to do that. So you can start working down and now having the strength because the band's helping you to pull yourself back around so we can work up building some strength in there. So the job now is to start to create that connection between the shoulders pulling and the body position where we've got our feet off the floor. So we're going to use the same principle that we used in lesson one around the the warp back lever but we're going to now apply it into the skin the cap so bringing those two things together. So Jaco's got the band set up as before for the skin the cap he's going to lift himself up pop his hips onto the band and then he goes into this rotation so he's going to find the endpoint of his skin the cap the job now is to start to think about creating that nice flat back position that we looked at in that first lesson and he's going to start to pull his head forward and by pulling the hands down towards the hips so he flattens himself out a little bit you can see the angle closes slightly the band is giving him the support just like if we're trying to balance the seesaw we've got to shift some weight forwards if we're going to send weight backwards the legs are going to weigh a lot more on the torso so the further forward he can go the better but you can see he keeps those palms facing towards the ceiling hand comes down towards the hip he opens that chest up and he starts to shift weight forwards he can hang out in there just create some tension it might be that you put some reps in there or you're going to try and hold up for five to ten seconds building that connection and starting to learn how to create that force which is going to enable you to then start to take the legs further out the stronger you get in here you can remove the band but that is that exact position there which is going to be the basis of you being able to extend the legs out in a fully unsupported position once we've mastered that pull through we can start to layer the exercise up a little bit by taking the legs further away from our hands into that full extended back lever but there's still a progressive way in which we can do that so jacko is going to come through his skins a cat again before rotates himself around he's going to perform the pull through again supported by the band but then from this position he can actually start to extend one leg out so he's still putting the force down to hold that position in the pull through but pushing one leg makes it a little bit more difficult more weight away from the base of support and if he's comfortable there he can then take the second one and this is going to be our full back lever position you can see again from that lesson one in the walk back bums on tummies on tight shoulders packed in and hands are coming down trying to close this angle from hand to hip that's how we create attention and that's how we hold the position if you're strong enough they can pull himself back out and we can start to work with different bands to provide different amounts of support until you can eventually remove the band entirely and then you've just nailed your first back lever and redefined your impossible so i hope that's give you some ideas about how you can progress towards that back lever and help you to redefine your impossible it really is like it has a nice place in my heart the back lever because it is the first thing that we ever did and it looks cool right it doesn't cool people look at you and go actually oh you must been training castings for ages no it's the first thing ever and we've used some bands there in the rings if you if you need any equipment like that we have got now we've partnered with bulldog and we have got these products available on our website in the shop so check that out there's in details in the description below so that's the end lesson two you can go back and let watch lesson one for those queues as well but until next time class is missed


Hey guys, it's Liana. I'm here today to talk about the series that I plan to finish in 2021. As a fantasy reader, that is ever my struggle being in the middle of $50 billion series, wanting to start a new series, but also wanting to finish the ones I'm already in, it's a struggle. So I'm trying to prioritize series that I'm in the middle of next year, maybe not every series that I've ever started, but the series that are going to be on this list are the ones that I would really, really like to finish. For that reason, I didn't put any series on this list that will not be finished. That is to say they might have more books out that I haven't read yet, but they are not completed. So I cannot finish them because they are not finished. There are other series I'm in the middle of that I will hopefully be continuing with in 2021, but again, not on this list because these are series that I want to finish. I think that's clear. Okay, first is Lord of the Rings by J.R. Dolgan. I read The Fellowship of the Ring in January of 2020, and I thought that I would get around to reading the other two books in the rest of 2020. 2020 was 2020. So it didn't happen, but I do absolutely still want to finish reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy. So there's no reason that I can't do it in 2021. I mean, there may end up being many reasons why I can't finish it because we've learned not to really plan ahead or to expect the unexpected, I guess. But as of right now, I don't see any reason why I can't finish the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Maybe if instead of spending all my time watching and rewatching and re re re re re re re re re re re re re-watching the extended editions of the movies.  Next up, The Re-Area Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan. I've mentioned a few times the saga of me buying Michael J. Sullivan books because I kept finding out that the book that I bought was actually the prequel to one other book. So I have like 50 billion Michael J. Sullivan books. I'm in the middle of The Re-Area Revelations, which is the one that sets this all off. So I'd like to finally finish reading The Re-Area Revelations, which I've been reading kind of a bit here and there over a couple of years now. And then I can finally read The Re-Area Chronicles and then Age of Myth. So yeah, but gotta finish Re-Area Revelations first. Next up is Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson. I really thought I'd finish this in 2020, but it's not, the last book is in all my December TBR and I don't really see myself squeezing it in. Yeah. It's really short series. I've been having a really good time with it. It is this sort of YA murder mystery type series that I'm, it's just a good time. Like I think I've read the first two books. I think I read each of them in one day, respectively. And yeah, I think the third one is the shortest. So I'd really just like to find out how it all ends. There's no reason that I can't. It's like 300 pages. Next up is Broken Earth by N.K. Jemisin. I'm actually like halfway through the last book, The Stone Sky, but I didn't finish it before the end of the month that I was reading it in. And then I didn't get around to finishing it after that in a month, in months that it wasn't on my TBR. And then I don't know why they seem kind of maybe because I started reading The Broken Earth in summer and maybe because the landscape is so kind of fair and they seem like summer reads to me. So I didn't quite finish Stone Sky and then we were getting into Fall and Winter and it just wasn't feeling like the time for it. I really absolutely want to finish it because I'm absolutely loving the Broken Earth trilogy and I want to see how it ends, but finish, The Stone Sky didn't seem like a cozy fall read and not like a Christmas time read. So I do want to finish it in 2021. I don't see why I shouldn't because again, I'm at least halfway through Stone Sky. Next up is Fury Born by Claire LeGrand. I loved Fury Born. The first book I read on Ark of It and then I reread it. And then I never actually read the second book, Kingsbane, because I heard kind of terrible things about it. And then I kind of said, I was like, okay, I'll wait until the third one comes out. And if people say that the third one, like if people who had issues with the second one, but did go on to read the third one, they say, okay, she fixed it. You know, because like if it's the second book in a series, it's kind of eh, like it has the possibility to course correct. So since I loved the first book so much, and I generally like Claire LeGrand's writing, I wasn't willing to like give up. And I mean, I haven't actually read Kingsbane, so maybe I'll love it. I shouldn't just take people's word for it. But there are people that I trust. And like the reasons for disliking it sounded like things that I would also hate. But so now the third book, Lightbringer is out. They're all out. I've heard generally positive things about Lightbringer. So I'd want to basically find out what I think and just kind of wrap this all up. I really hope it ends up being good because I love Furyborn, the first book a lot. Next up is Shatter Me by The Head of Mafia. I was kind of on a Shatter Me role and I was kind of devouring those books, but I've heard nothing but disappointment and horror at the last book Imagine Me, which TBQH, when I saw the cover reveal for Imagine Me, I was just like, that's an awful cover. And I know that's shallow, but it's a truly atrocious cover. And then people who like me like Shatter Me, they're into it, did not like Imagine Me. They're like, it's a terrible ending to the series. And I'm like, right now I still feel generally positive towards Shatter Me. And I would, I don't really want to start hating Shatter Me. And I feel like usually when a series ends badly, it kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth and ends up resulting in me kind of hating the series altogether. Happened a couple times. So right now I'm still in a good place with Shatter Me, but also it's bothering me that I haven't finished it. So I am a completionist, so I would like to finish it. Next up is an Ember in the Ashes series by Sabah Tahir. This is a long-awaited conclusion. I love Ember in the Ashes and Torch Against the Night. I was less keen on the third book, Reapered the Gates. I still kind of feel like things are being drawn out of it too much. I feel like it could have been a trilogy. I don't know that a lot of the plot threads that are kind of introduced in Reapered the Gates needed to be. It feels like things are being dragged. But I do really want to see how this concludes and I did love the first two books in it. And I feel like Reaper in the Gates, it's a quartet so it's like a tough, like we're used to a trilogy kind of arc. Maybe that's why it feels that way. Usually to me, like series are either like massive series that go on and on or it's a trilogy or a duology. But four is just awkward. So the book three to me feels almost the way that a lot of people feel about a lot of middle books and trilogies. I actually tend to like middle books and trilogies. I'm the weird one. And if this was a trilogy, if it's of those three, Torch Against the Night, the second one is my favorite. Reapered the Gates, it feels like a middle book, like middle book syndrome. But I do want to see how all this ends and I think I may need to reread the books that came before it. I don't actually, I don't know that I need to, but I kind of want to because I really liked Umber in the Ashes. And it's narrated by Steve Weston and Fiona Harding. I'm two of my all-time favorite narrators, especially when they're together. Next up is The Poppy War by RF Huang. I really thought I would finish The Dragon Republic this year, but to be quite honest, when I picked up The Dragon Republic briefly because I was like, oh, I kind of feel like this right now. It was quite late at night and I was like, I don't think I remember enough about Poppy War. So you're in Poppy War right when it came out and it's been a minute. So when I was reading Dragon Republic, I was like, who? Like I remember all the broad strokes and I remember a lot about Rin. A lot of the other specifics about the politics and the specifics about the situation that she's in at the end of Poppy War. It's kind of hazy. I feel like I need to refresh her because Poppy War is so harrowing. I'm not super keen on rereading it, but I know I need to. And I do really want to read Dragon Republic and Burning God. And in order to do that, I do think I need to reread Poppy War. So this is both a series that I want to finish and also that I'm going to need to start again in 2021. Next up is The Farsier Trilogy by Robin Hobb. I thought I actually that I'd finish it in 2020, but you know, it didn't happen. I'm about halfway through the second book. So I'm like literally halfway through the trilogy. So I would like to read the second half of Royal Assassin and then read Assassin's Quest and also then Start Mad Ship. I'm absolutely loving Robin Hobb's writing and see why she's such a favorite.  Love fits as a main character, night eyes. Oh my God, like so many things in Royal Assassin. They aren't even heart-breaking or heart-wrenching moments. It's just the Robin Hobb's writing. I'm just melting and oozing the whole time I'm reading it because I feel so many feels for all these characters will mainly fit.  She's, I feel like I'm being manipulated, but it's working and I'm here for it and it's beautiful. Next up is The Winter Night Trilogy by Catherine Arden. This is a very similar situation to the Poppy War. I read The Bear and the Nightingale when it came out, which is now three to four years ago. And I really liked it. And then I've been meaning to read the second and third books since then and I just it's been so long now that I'm pretty sure I need to reread The Bear and the Nightingale because I also I did try reading The Girl in the Tower like a year ago. I picked it up around, I think I might have been like last Christmas, I picked it up and I was like, this seems like a good time of year for it. And I was reading the first chapter and I was like, I don't remember almost anything like The Bear and the Nightingale except like the general vibe. I was like, okay, I don't know who anyone is anymore. I need to reread The Bear and the Nightingale. So I need to both finish and start The Winter Night Trilogy 2021. Next up is The Age of Madness trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. This is the third and final book of that trilogy is coming out next September and I am so hyped for it. I did hear which is a relief to me that Joe Abercrombie does intend to continue writing more books in the first law after this because dude, dude, I need more. Like I know I'm getting one more, but I need more even than that. Like if the next book that's coming out if that was going to be it, never more first law ever again, I would cry. So I do believe he's writing more first law. Thank God. But A Little Hatred, the first book in The Age of Madness, I was like the best Abercrombie yet. And then The Trouble with Peace was even better than A Little Hatred. And the next book, which I don't remember what the name of is, and I think I said a completely wrong name for it in my review of Trouble with Peace, whatever the third one is going to be called. I'm not risking saying the wrong thing again. Whatever it is, it's got to be amazing. It's going to be great. Hi, there's, oh, I have so many questions and so many things that I want to see and so many things that need to be resolved. But knowing Abercrombie, they might just not be resolved. And I need it. I need it now. Next is Ark of the Scythe by Neal Schusterman. I read Scythe couple years now at this point. This might be another Bear in the Night and Yelp-Hoppy War situation where I might need to reread Scythe. I don't, I don't, I haven't tried reading, fuck, what's it called the second one, The Underhead. I haven't tried it. I'm going to try it and see if like, I'm like, if it comes back to me, like, oh yeah, I know what's happening. If not, then I may need to reread Scythe and then read The Underhead and read The Toll. I really liked Scythe. I've heard amazing things about the second and third books in the series. People seem to think that the quality was carried throughout. Some people even seem to like The Underhead more. I own The Underhead. I don't own The Toll. So I would like to read it. And last is The Chronicles of Predane by Lord Alexander. I read the book of three on my TBR this month. So as of the filming of this video, I haven't yet read The Black Cauldron, which is the second book. I own all the Chronicles of Predane and I love the Disney movie The Black Cauldron. And so far my experience with the books is that they are, they have all the charm and magic and wonder and humor of the movie, but more. So it's everything that I loved about the movie, but to the max. And I'm absolutely loving it. They're really short books. I really loved Lloyd Alexander's books when I was a kid, but for some reason I never read the Predane books. I read several other of his stand-alones for kids. So I did really like his writing style then. I think it still holds up, which is the mark of a good writer. Like children's books, you should be able to, if it's a good book, you should be able to read it as an adult, even if it's meant for children. Like how in your game, right? So they're really fun, whimsical, quirky, traditional fantasy adventures that I'm loving and I would like to read the rest. So let me know in the comments down below if you've read any of these series that I'm intending to read, if you would like to read any of the series that I'm intending to read, if you would like to dissuade me from reading any of the series that I intend to read. Whatever you want to let me know. I post videos on Saturdays, other random times as well, but definitely Saturdays, so like and subscribe, and I'll see you when I see you. Bye.


Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to Inuzor Education. I continue explaining what kind of elements and objects we will be dealing with in solid geometry. We have covered a few different objects before, like lines, planes, cylindrical surfaces, prisms. Today's topic is cylinders. So I will just explain what cylinders are, what kind of elements cylinders have, etc. I suggest you to watch this lecture from Unizor.com website because it has side notes, which basically can be used as a textbook. Alright, so this is an introductory to cylinders, just explaining what cylinders are. Basically, no properties, no theorems will be discussed today. Alright, so cylinders. Let's imagine that we have a plane. So this is the horizontal plane, that's how I draw it. And let's consider that on this horizontal plane I have a circle. Well, it looks like oval, but basically it's only because we are looking from a side. Now let's consider we have another plane, which is parallel to this one. So this one will be called alpha, and this one will be called beta. Now we will consider a line D, which is not parallel to these two. Now I'm not really going into the details of what is parallel planes and what is the parallel planes and lines, etc. These are topics which will be discussed in details. Right now I'm just relying on your intuitive understanding that the planes are parallel if they do not have an intersection, as well as the plane and the line and the straight line. Alright, so now I have this straight line and I have this circle, let's call it C. It has a center, oval, and it has a radius, let's say R. Now what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to construct a cylindrical surface. We know what that actually is. I had the whole lecture about what is a cylindrical surface. If you don't remember, go back a couple of lectures where it's explained. So I'm going to construct a cylindrical surface using this circle as a director's and this straight line as a generator's, which basically means I will draw a straight line through each point on the surface on this circle, parallel to D-line. So this line, this line, this line, this line, that's how it will be. Now these lines will intercept the parallel plane B somewhere and this would be the intersection. Now without proof, I will actually prove it in the future, but right now I just wanted to say that without the proof, on that plane parallel to the alpha plane, my cylindrical surface will cut another circle, which will be congruent to this one, so just different center O' but the same radius R. So if these lines are forming a cylindrical surface, then if this base is a circle, this base will also be a circle. So these are two base planes. These are two base circles. Now this is my side surface and basically whatever these surfaces are forming is a cylinder. So a cylinder consists of cylindrical surface in between these two base parallel planes and two base circles. Let's call it bottom and top, something like this. They're base circles, top circle and bottom circle, top base and bottom base. So that's basically it. This is a cylinder. Now to be more precise, this is a circular cylinder because this is a circle. Now in theory, you can obviously consider circular surface which is formed by directories which is not a circle, but let's say an oval ellipse or parabola or anything basically. It will be still some kind of a cylinder in between these two planes. However, most likely we will not consider all these cases. Most likely all our cylindrical experience will be with the cylinders which are circular, which means the top and bottom bases are circles. Also there is another important characteristic. Now this line D, which is generatrix, I told it's not parallel to these two planes. However, one particular case when it's perpendicular is important because if these lines all are perpendicular, then we will call it a right cylinder, well in this case right circular cylinder. And let me tell you that in most of the cases if I'm just saying cylinder, I will mean right which means these are perpendicular to the plane and circular which means these are circles cylinder. So I will just abbreviate the word cylinder I will use in most of the cases, unless it's specifically described. In most of the cases when I'm saying cylinder I will mean a right circular cylinder. Now what else is important? Another terminology thing. This line from O to O' is called an axis. An axis of the cylinder. Well primarily because the cylinder can be considered as a result of rotation of this rectangle. Let's call this point A and this point A' So rectangle O A A' O' So if you will rotate it around O O' it will actually make up a cylinder. In this case obviously right circular cylinder. Well that's basically all I wanted to say. Let me just check. One more terminology. If it's not a right cylinder when it's really tilted it's called oblique. And one of the examples I mean obviously very rough example is the tower of Pisa which is kind of oblique. It's tilted, right? But again I think we will rarely consider oblique cylinders. Most likely it will be right circular cylinders which I will just call cylinders. Well that's actually it. And that's all my short introduction into an object called cylinder which we will consider in many details in the future lectures which will be dedicated specifically to theorems and properties, characteristics of cylinders. So that's it for today. Thank you very much and good luck.
