Hey there my flashlight professionals. We're back with two flashlights. We're going to review from Phoenix We have the WH-26R motion activated flashlight spouting up to 600 lumens We also have the WF-26R flashlight spouting 3,000 lumens now before we get started I'm going to tell you that both flashlights were provided to me by Phoenix with no exchange for money for the review I like the quality of Phoenix flashlights because I've been using them for over 11 years I know the quality is something I could depend on and that's why I keep using them now to give you a little bit of background on the channel. I'm a heating and air conditioning refrigeration technician that uses flashlights a lot in dark places I do these reviews to share my experience with my viewers that are also interested in and depend on flashlights Now down in the bottom, you'll be able to jump to different segments of the video If there's a certain part of the video that you're interested in, you will be able to see those individual segments and get right to the information You're looking for. I am going to make this video short and sweet to the point and if you like any of these flashlights I will have links in the description down below along with links to Phoenix's website So the first flashlight we're going to start here with is the WH26R It is a headlamp that it is activated by motion so you can turn it on and off So if your hands are greasy and you don't want to get it all over your flashlight You can do that Now there will be times when you may not want that feature because you're getting close to objects That will cause it to kick on and kick off Now to defeat that option press and hold the button until the headlamp flashes And now that feature is turned off. No longer will it blink on and off on you Now the flashlight does offer three modes of operation and spot and flood Which is low, medium and high In flood operation you have 5, 75 and 300 lumens Now rotate the button one click more Now you're in the spot mode Same thing it gives you three modes of operation Giving you 30, 120 and 600 lumens Now I'll rotate the switch one more click that gives you 600 lumens Of flood and spot combined together That is not adjustable It is very bright Now the battery would still have three hours and 40 minutes of cumulative runtime in this turbo mode Which means the flashlight will automatically step down as it gets too hot Now you're able to check your battery mode by hitting the button on the side Which we currently have four LEDs Now over the last month or so that I've been using this headlamp I haven't had it go dead on me yet Battery life is really good on it Now speaking of battery life Because the flood and the spotlight have different lumen ratings The battery life is going to be a little bit different For those two different modes of operation But in medium mode you could have between 9 hours and 15 hours of total runtime And in high mode you're averaged right at 6 hours And in a turbo mode it gives you up to 3 hours and 40 some minutes Which that is an accumulative time Because as the flashlight gets above 140 degrees internally It will automatically start to step itself down to protect the lamp Now this does feature a built-in battery which is non-replaceable They use a USB-C with a nice rubber flap here on the bottom I haven't had that flap open up on me to where it would let anything in there And even if it does All the flashlights that I've owned from them in the past Has been waterproof even in the socket The flashlight does have a limited lifetime warranty Price point on this is right at $60 Which makes it affordable for a quality flashlight The headband does feature reflective writing on the outside It does have holes as you can see right here That allow the headband to breathe And in the center here they have a silicone bead Which helps this thing stick to your forehead when you're sweating Now when this is in motion mode Even though the lamp is shut off in the front You will see that there's a blue lamp right here Which allows you to know that it's in standby mode Now once you turn the flashlight off that will go away Or if you take it out of that mode Like I said earlier by pressing the button That blue light actually goes away And you don't see it any longer So that's just a notification there To let you know that the flashlight's on Now the battery specs on this is 2,000 milliamps It can recharge in about an hour and a half It is IP66 rated It does have a 60 degree tilt here on the front The temperature of the LED is 6,000 Kelvin It has a limited lifetime warranty And the light is impact rated up to 2 meters You can check out all these specs at Phoenix's website Or check them out on Amazon in the links down below Now jumping over to the WF26R flashlight Like I said this has 3,000 lumens of blind the bad guy lighting This features an included 21700 battery And if you're one of those persons That can't find their flashlight when they need it It comes with a charging cradle Which you stick it together Which when placed in the cradle It has an LED on the front to tell you that it's charging And changes color once it gets to full charge If you don't like the charging cradle You're able to press down on the center conductor And pop that out And then you can go ahead and put it right on the flashlight itself Which then allows you to set it by your lamp stand Or what have you Charging your car or whatever It's just an option that allows you to keep track of your flashlight And where it's at That green LED light there tells me that I'm at 100% When it starts to flash it lets me know that I'm at 85% When it turns red I'm at 50% And when it starts flashing red Then I'm at 25% So you'll know exactly where your battery status is Whenever you turn the flashlight on So if you depend on your flashlight like I do You'll be able to know right away Whether the flashlight needs to be charged or not I will show a demonstration of the different brightnesses Of this flashlight right now Okay, like I said, there's low Medium And high And turbo Which crazy amount of light I mean that's getting out there So it's got a heck of a beam pattern here It throws out there plenty far If you're trying to look for animals out in the field Or you're hunting or whatever That's the light about put in a real life scenario For those who want the specs on this This flashlight does weigh 7.83 ounces It's IP68 rated It has a 15 day free replacement If you have any problems with the flashlight And it has a five year warranty This one clocks in about $130 But if you've ever checked out quality flashlights You know that $130 is pretty reasonable When some flashlights go well over 200 This does feature the luminous ST70 LED emitter It has a throw of up to 492 yards Now the battery in turbo mode Will last around two hours and 41 minutes Of accumulative run time And in those emergency situations Where you may not be able to recharge the flashlight It does feature the eco mode Which gives you up to 44 hours of run time And because this features the 5000 mAh battery It does take up to 3 hours to recharge Now this battery is removable Which allows you to charge it externally Or swap it out with a fresh battery Phoenix also offers this battery With a built in USB in the side of the battery Which would allow you to charge it external With a flashlight and an external charger Now like most of the Phoenix flashlights It does feature gold plated springs on the inside The build quality on these flashlights Like I said is impeccable I have never had one fail on me yet Internally in here You'll see that it's actually gold plated On the front side too Getting into the different level of brightness And how to change that This one's a little unique You have a press button Which turns the flashlight on Once it's on You hit the side button To pick one of the four levels Like I said you have eco Medium High And turbo And for a law enforcement When you press that button there on the side That you use to adjust the brightness It goes straight into strobe If you're in your regular bright mode And then you hit the button and hold it It will go into strobe then You can turn the strobe off And then it will repeat back to the on position So it does have friendly switching back and forth From high to strobe It's really simple to switch the different modes You just like I said Tap the button I like the fact that it is really quick to switch between them Now I had a previous review here on the TK22R If you're wondering what the size difference is on them Bezel to bezel They are pretty much exactly the same Height wise Just about exactly the same This has a tactical switch on the back Which allows you to switch between it You can check this flashlight out in the link up above And that'll take you to that one This is also a 5000mAh battery included with it But it has the battery that has the built in USB And it does not feature any outside charging Now this flashlight did come with the lantern There on the side It comes with the belt clip here So that you're able to hook it on your pocket These are all removable obviously It does have the bezel with the beveled edge there And that deep reflector allows you to throw the light out There up to 492 yards So if you're out chasing somebody through a field Or if you're trying to point out a rooftop unit From way across the way You'll be able to see it with this thing It's just ridiculously bright Generally I only need the medium position Now far as brightness of these two different lights I like the flood light the most Because it throws the beam so wide back and forth It doesn't have any hot spots at all So you're able to go to medium or high And it's pretty much a wash from one side to the other More than enough brightness there for that Now if you're someone that likes the spotlight a little bit more You'll be able to shine that at your subject matter there And that's pretty bright for a headlamp Alright guys, I appreciate you taking the time To check out the two flashlights Like I said, this is not a review channel This is just my experience with the flashlights That I feel as though are really high quality And I like sharing that with you guys The only payment I got was the flashlight itself Which these videos take a lot of time to produce So they're getting a good deal for their advertising dollars If you guys want to check them out Like I said, I have links down in the description down below It'll help out the channel If you buy them through the Amazon links that I've listed If not, go ahead and pick them up wherever you'd like I'll link a couple other flashlight review videos in these sides And I thank you guys for coming in And until next time, we'll catch you on the next one Later What's going on my light? What's going on my light? Flashlight fanatics? Financially, yeah What's going on my light? What's going on my flashlight fanatics? How you doing my flashlight fanatics? Fanatics professionals How? I'm also going to be talking about the WH26R I'm also going to be talking about the I'm also going to be talking about the WF26R I'm also going to be talking about the WRHQF So to defeat the motion activity, you can So to defeat the motion activity If you do choose to defeat the motion If you'd like to defeat the motion activity Motion activity and motion since If you'd like to remove the motion sense to how if you'd like to remove the oh my my mind goes blank


What's up everybody? Welcome back to the channel. I'm EvilRabbit here of course Horizon 4. We are in this little back little like trailer park area because today we are going to be doing The drift club testing the drift skills that I have acquired so far in the game With some other cars that we have not tuned What the basically the game and the NPCs have tuned so we are gonna go get into them I did test these with urgent recall 24 So I think some of them might be complete, but we're gonna do it from the beginning to end here at the drift club So we're gonna get into it We're gonna go solo Select chapter. Yeah, okay, so Those did count when I did him with urgent even before I had it unlocked But uh, we're gonna go ahead and do them again anyways so Drift club is kind of cool because you get to try a bunch of different cars that You have not tuned so it'll definitely test my skills that I've acquired in this game for drifting And this well she man over here So we're gonna get into this get sideways have some fun We are on a large tech G920 900 degrees of rotation. I draw a can break Splinter shifter mod energy innovations 350 millimeter full-size wheel I'll take my old Nissan 240 out and see which you enjoy better. Okay. I will take your Nissan 240 out Even though you're on race tires Is going to your car settings and switch off the traction control might be a button Or it might need a pair of pliers and a pair of tip, but it must be I forgot he did say that pair of pliers I'm on you this a little bit just to get used to the car some But do I need to explain again about power the weight ratios? No, you don't need to explain because I almost beat your chat I already beat your challenge before I even got into the first turn A little clutch kick out. There we go.  And your 240 before I even really uh Got onto this track section Can you break in? Really shred those tires see how much we can actually get this car handles pretty well I did like this car the first time I did try this with urgent Definitely lose that a little bit the car does come out and get me every so often But I also am not Familiar with like the way the car is set up It makes a big difference when the car is not your own tune or a tune that you drive a lot I let you work it out. Like I should have been able to take that turn without blowing off the tires, but You made me wear what I didn't catch what he said. I think that was some derogatory word You got to go this way We were way too fast for that, but We are at 177,000. Wow If you guys did complete the drift club, what's your highest uh Scores on these events because uh, I know my buddy urgent, uh He's tagging some uh One I believe one a million point Event on one of these drift clubs. So we do got to make sure we finish those so I got to make sure I uh Get some speed going and finish this event Trying to break that in I was trying to hold that a little bit better, but apparently not So we still should be able to complete this There's plenty of time As long as we didn't hit that house So first drift club event Do I like the car? It's definitely different. I got my hand crossed up there and Cracking my wrist kind of cutting the grass to make sure I finish this. So first car and It's okay. I'm not a fan of it. I was 35 swath Or uh The race tires, but we will take our three stars No, we've already got it But I wanted to get them myself because last time I did with urgent it was by team and the team's score was like totally high So And we're still gonna get money for it over that 1.5 million mark now should have been a lot higher, but I've been uh Buying and tuning some cars here recently so as for like the gtr or the uh The brz and the challenger. I think we're gonna actually skip those even though We haven't done them. We're gonna go to another one And we are gonna continue on the story since we already do technically have those three stars We're gonna move on to the fourth chapter. I don't know what car this is But uh, still should be fun the brz Yeah, it was not that great of a handling car It's 2000 Hmm I've thrown on new high grip front tires to the throttle response in the computer and lowered it on firm springs But if you get a show off and so do I huh High grip front tires. I've put in a route down to the old rail yard. I think you'll see what I'm getting at so I did like the s2000 in uh horizon 3 So let's see how this sounds this thing sounds here. See how this works I got very loose I thought he said he put stiff suspension in here. It feels very uh Very floating Now wing is just shaking I should probably mongering these To get more points, but I feel like we should have no problem Getting the drift points I ebraked in way too early on that one So it is very different for me to be driving cars that I have not set up myself So getting used to these cars in the short period of time that I get to drive them Is actually very complicated. So this is definitely testing the versatility of my uh drift Skills that I have here If any Now I would like to see more, please Okay This is really a just straight mongee section Which you know is quite complicated On a wheel here. Modging on a wheel in horizon 4 is definitely a Complicated thing and now we're on dirt. Oh god At least we've already beaten the 70 but I think we have to get 120 or 200 or something for three stars so I don't think that's gonna happen Because I probably should have been modding a lot more On the straights I'm just gonna try and use as many points as I can in the dirt I don't think we're gonna get three stars. I totally missed My entrance Is not paying attention. Oh what? Off-road What why is this not on Any type of brown I'm so confused right now. So I don't think we got three stars. I was confused on where that route went. So We have to try that one again, probably but we'll do it another time Move on to the next one because that that not a fan of having a mongee all the way down straights But we're gonna have to do it to get three stars on this because you know I'm not gonna let drift club go by without having completed full stars so we're gonna move on to the next one and See what we can do And uh as the other car that we're gonna be given But now we did advance in drift club. So it did give me the stuff when I worked with urgent So that's kind of good to see that it gave me all those stars even though I didn't have it unlocked yet As soon as it became unlocked It was given to us. So It's kind of cool. So now we're gonna go into the next one since we're here Solo Next chapter what kind of car you got for me this time A lot of people have probably done the drift clubs already, but uh, I haven't first time here. So well First ish That's 14. We'll take a longer drift drivers time Show drift clubbers the skills and technical challenges involved in covering that sort of distance 98 silvia k 2.6 liter inline six and the full rocket bunny boss kit He got it right a little carried away you but I was worried he wasn't gonna get the boss kit right But he got it right. All right much power This is too much power. You really shouldn't need the flooring. What's the rear is slippy if it comes out. You're using too much power I thought I thought the purpose of this was to Drift not and so why would if the rear comes out it's Using too much power I don't feel this car has too much power But I feel like we should probably be monging all these things to get as many points as we can It's gonna take a lot of hand movement But we also gotta make sure we get to the excuse me get to the end and actually finish the uh event or uh all of our efforts will be for nothing A quick breakdown there we go So it is very different to me to use cars that I have not to Or built myself So not something i'm very fond of doing. I don't well i'm not that i'm not fond of it But usually when I drive other people's tunes it takes me a while to get used to them or it takes me a little bit to get used to it and these drift clubs I of course i'm incapable of more But we only get a few minutes in each one of these cars not enough time to really Get super comfortable with the car And I'm noticing a trend with all these drift club events I'm noticing it's it's a lot of money No, there is no way to see an invisible force dude. I swear. He's probably high. I'm like tired or something What you can see however is closer spork from tires came out from under me So that's a tree But we did get some knowledge based on that so I have to make up some time here to make sure we at least finish this event So instead of minding this we're gonna go just uh We'll throttle if we can some high speed high speed quick corners I feel like we should be okay though. We have a minute and a half and we have 1.4 miles Uh, I wish we were going up those uh the hairpins bring us to them, but We're gonna go right past them Which is sad because I feel like they should do some runs on the hairpins. Maybe they will in the later ones hopefully for Van or whatever that was that was scary. I didn't know what it was But I know it was gonna hurt if I hit it Sort of those rocks So 291k definitely could do a lot better Like I said monging Definitely something hard on uh This uh on a wheel in this game not a controller mongees probably a lot easier. What did you make of that? So we're gonna finish it for five Drift clubbers laying down rubber in every corner of the U.K. That's three stars. That's only two stars. This is sad So I need a monge of a lot more to get these three stars. So we're gonna do another one here Maybe do one or two more but Testing my skills today for sure and all these different cars not a much time practice on them Don't know what car they're don't know how they handle throwing myself into this with a lot of mongees I'm noticing so I got to throw this wheel a lot back and forth But we won't get another level level six 50k I will take it Oh, I like that drift club shirt I think I might have to rock that drift club shirt if I get it. Well, I will get it probably after the next one So if you guys like and are enjoying these fours or highs and four videos of what you seem to be You guys keep coming back appreciate all the support We're gonna go into our next story Don't know what kind of car what kind of car is please be something good. Maybe I feel like they're all good, but give me something I would prefer Or maybe something.  I'll admit. I'm used to sorry if you're gonna show drift club It can be done and I've found just the spot for it always drive just the car Borrowed this from jay min at the festival nice young fella if all right This is gonna definitely challenge because I don't do a lot of all the guy drifting over to you show here we go a nice technical drive on mixed road surfaces I do love the technical ones We're gonna get a hundred thousand points in all the drive car This is gonna be something I gotta not throw so much counter steer Yeah, this is gonna be this is probably gonna be one of the hardest ones I do today because All the drive Is not my strong suit for drifting on pavement or purposely trying to drift. I always counter steer way too much and uh causes me to uh overcorrect because uh I'm countering like I'm in a real drive car when you don't have to counter that much In and all the drive cars Hopefully we'll get to some dirt, but I feel like this is called drift club. Not a balance is key Steer and counter steer and I've throttle to push the power slide and I've break to hold you grip You know, I really should be right any special wisdom down somewhere You probably should not give me an awful drive cars, which you shouldn't do But you know At least we are close to getting that hundred k now Now's what we may do a little bit better because we are going to be on dirt now So as long as we can keep control Of the car on dirt Which we should be able to But with the roads being narrow I'm not sure This is actually uh quite difficult I know people are probably watching this like oh my god. I've I got like 400 500 k on this dirt section in this car because You know At least I got the hundred k I'm just trying to not totally uh lose the car because All will drive not my forte When it comes to purposely trying to slide Turn in power and still relying on momentum to carry you through So I'm sure you're taking all this into account already. Uh, yeah, buddy Not really like how uh oh definitely uh a tricky bit As that hurts too So like I said all the drive drifting not really my thing If it is your thing, let me know down there. Let me know what you guys got on this, uh Little all the drive drift club Part because uh I'll drive not my thing I mean rally racing definitely is okay with me, but purposely trying to slide the car Not my thing If I'm just trying to race like a race maybe and it starts to slide on me. That's a whole other story But purposely trying to slide it Like jim kana style not doing my thing yet Definitely something i'm uh working more towards With the uh snow season Right around the corner That's a little bit better. There we go Whoo A lot of hand movement I just kind of want to be done with this all with drive one. Oh gosh so 200k probably good enough for two stars Which is seems to be the standard for today's episode because you know I needed my buddy urgent to give those three stars because he's a monji king Now some people claim that you have to use rear wheel drive cars to drift That is simply not true because it's not drifting one star. Oh, jeez. Oh, they threw takahashi in here I didn't know they threw takahashi in here. All right. Well, so tax in this game, I guess in a sense so all the drive drifting not my thing but uh It's kind of sad that we only got one star. So hopefully the next one is not all wheel drive If I do one more here for today's episode and finish them up on another episode or just finish them up off session if you guys like these Videos, let me know down in the comment section down below. You know, follow me facebook twitch twitter and instagram I'll have you found the description box below. Let's see what our final pull on car is. Please be something to rule drive Please forza forza gots something All right, also claim that japanese or american cars can get down with the Volvo This is also not true. You're at drift club. We find drift machines in all sorts of odd places Sweden for instance This is the Volvo 242 turbo interruption. Let's do it a few little adjustments of my own I think you'll find it more than adequate Probably he's got some 1552s on there or a jerry splits So, uh, you're welcome to have a little fun on the way Whoa, this thing definitely gets sideways and I like the way we're going already. I don't like to fact that we're on dirt What? This car handles pretty well This will suffice For a nice, uh slidey slidey slidey if I could stay on track Probably not suited for dirt.  Oh I feel like a lot of these roads would be so much nicer if they were paved And it kind of makes me sad that a lot of these roads are not paved And it's also kind of makes me sad that this drift club is going off-road but You know I guess can't be choosers.  Please don't We need to save ourselves. So drift club definitely, uh, a challenge for me right now Given maybe I'm not on my best or peak driving abilities right now, but And also this dirt is pretty Pretty loose on the back end of the car. I can see what a lot of people are having a problem with a lot of dirt with, uh Not being able to control the car because this wheel does not have much feel right now And I think it just has something to do with the dirt So we're probably going to end it here if you guys enjoy it and you want to see more Let me know in the comment section. I believe you guys seem to enjoy these videos. So until next time I like thank you guys for watching and coming back and watching these videos So as always I appreciate it. I thank you guys for watching I'm even rabbit and I will see you guys next time Let's drink. Oh, we missed it


And that's why I changed to German. Please do not dig around on the campground. In the following talk, we talk about how we dig down the lawn of the Reichstag, so I want to welcome the speaker. He is not from the centre of the political beauty and political organisation. Digging around on the lawn of the Reichstag and other goals of political companies. Welcome to the talk. The perspective is for civil disobedience. I'm not from the centre for political beauty, as has been said. I have dealt for years in theory and practice with communication, and civil disobedience, and I think both forms of action, whether separate or in combination, are powerful tools for political protest. This will not be so much about communication, but about civil disobedience. Civil disobedience, that's perhaps the first thing we think of are people like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, or the good old sitting blockade. But there's more that can be done. Civil disobedience is a very large range of action forms. You can have lots of fun with that. And what I think is rather important, we can free ourselves from the lethargy and powerlessness that we feel and empower ourselves and get something done politically. So what then is civil disobedience at all? First of all, some theoretical background. What exactly is it? The word is first read from Henry David Thorough. He has been one of the four thinkers of civil disobedience and lived in the 19th century, and he wrote about the obligation to civil disobedience. That was one of his works. Thorough has two axioms. First, the authority of the government is based on the agreement of those that are governed. And second, justice is more important than individual laws and every individual can judge whether laws are just. And from that follows for him, if the law is set up in a way that it necessarily makes you on the wrong side of the law, then break the law. If it necessarily puts you on the wrong side of the law, break it. This is a shortened version of what Thorough wrote. It's not just about breaking laws. Civil disobedience is not about breaking laws only. In recent theory, this has become much broader. Obligations, orders, rules, norms, conventions can all be broken during civil disobedience.   And this kind of civil disobedience, there are three points that are important about this to make up the core of it. Foremost, it's reasons of conscience to put something that's wrong right. My reasons of conscience and the moral and the law are above the laws of the land and the orders. And to then transgress the law is the decision of conscience to put things right. You have to do this consciously and you have to accept that through breaking the law you can actually face penalties. And in that there is a power of civil disobedience because you consciously break rules or laws for political and moral reasons. And the third point is non-violence. You see Wolfgang Tierser, president of the German parliament at a time, blockading a Nazi demonstration. Now this is a non-violent breach of a law, not in the sense that it's never directed against the dignity of this human being. Civil disobedience excludes violence against human beings. And according to Gandhi, non-violence has moral as well as fact-factual reasons, tactical reasons. So civil disobedience is always in a kind of tension between legitimacy and illegality. Therefore actions of civil disobedience always have to legitimize themselves. You have people that will say you're breaking the law, you're legal, you're doing something that's forbidden. This will always happen if you are engaging in civil disobedience. And this becomes a negotiation process within society and a peaceful sitting blockade against Nazis or something is now widely accepted or almost accepted in society, at least appreciated as something that's part of it. It used to be quite different in the 60s and 70s and these things can change. And next to the practice you therefore always need explanations, communication of what you do. And this negotiation process in Germany in the 80s when it was about nuclear weapons, renowned intellectuals took part in these blockades and there was a huge debate about legality and legitimacy of civil disobedience and Habermas, one of those intellectuals, declared civil disobedience as legitimate but within certain rules, within certain frameworks. And it has to be public, it has to be pre-announced, it has to be symbolic and has to be calculable by the police. This excludes certain things which is why I would like to suggest an expanded sense of civil disobedience that also includes actions that go beyond a symbolic meaning, covered, unannounced actions that the state or the opponent cannot foresee. This has to include actions by communication guerrilla, things that may disobey rules of classical process or use them in an unexpected way and actions that go against non-state players like companies. And this is about expanding the repertoire of protest and develop the instrument of civil disobedience further. In the following part I will talk about different cases of civil disobedience that extend the area of civil disobedience or make the form of civil disobedience stronger and show it more clearly and show what's possible with it. So what Habermas did not include was whistleblowing, that if the surveillance state gets more and more important, democratic control has to be important and so whistleblowing is part of civil disobedience because the reasons are moral and it is known and it is not violence. So we have to make sure that whistleblowing is normal, that they don't have to do civil disobedience but are covered by law. However if journalists publish documents it's not civil disobedience but they're right and we just defended that and if the government would have succeeded we would have a problem with that, if we would have to fight against the constitution of Germany with the... And thank you therefore that you supported nextspolitik.org in the recent weeks. That is a combination of civil disobedience and also the law of freedom of press. So there's another way to get to informations and there we also have a problem with breaking of the rules about getting informations. In this case the hacking team who someone anonymous made these moral decisions that they wanted to publish the information about this company with the 400 gigabyte of data. And the interesting thing is that a non-communicated decision about the civil disobedience and the people who look at this data and communicate with the public. So it shows that this organization works against human rights. So we have whistleblowing and cleanup for the public city. Hacking for companies and governmental organizations that are against basic rights can be called whistleblowing. It is an important communication role. They just explained forms of civil disobedience are quite strict but it doesn't have always to be strict. For example there was a group up against the wall that was called up against the wall motherfucker that were active in the US and they made a nice situations and maybe they made one of the best ones. It was the mill in and they went into and they destroyed stuff. They made it dirty. They gave away the, and they put cats there. And in the end a lot of people had to be taken down from out of the... Then there was King Mob, a British group, shown here. They went into a department store in London dressed up as father Christmases and distributed toys to children and police came and children had to give them back and father Christmases figures were arrested. And these two actions are about breaking rules and questioning conventions and they use the means of confusion and camouflage to break what people are used to. And camouflage and fake is also what the next action is about. The space hijackers, the communication career in London that unfortunately very sadly have dissolved. One of their nicest actions among many great ones is the tank stunt at the G20 protests in London. The space hijackers for £2,000 bought this old tank or armored vehicle painted in blue and during the protests as fake police people went to the Royal Bank of Scotland and offered help to the police people against those evil rioters and the police declined and arrested those hijackers and charged them with impersonating police officers. In 2011, two years later, the charges were dropped and the nicest thing of this action was immediately after the arrest the police confiscated the vehicle and didn't know that the motor had to be kept running for the brakes to work and the hijackers then watched police people with that vehicle damaging buildings and then roads because they couldn't brake anymore. So fun with protest and questioning authority to get put together gives you embarrassing the police and to get to something more serious now we get to the action called the dead are coming. On a Monday in June, the Centre for Political Beauty started their action called the dead are coming. Perhaps wait for the next Congress whether they'll be talking about this and this action can be seen as the prime example how with a lot of morals and some political background and an action that really breaks moral conventions in a week you can win 7,000 people for civil disobedience. Basically this action was about making people aware of the 23,000 dead at the European borders and making these visible and this action was to have several levels first of all burying refugees in Germany and then putting up a memorial at the Chancellor's office breaking up the soil that was all announced and they were going to start work for this monument. The action began on a Monday on the Tuesday the first refugee was buried the group had exhumed bodies of refugees in Sicily with the agreement of their relatives brought them to Germany and of course there's always a huge provocation involved if you deal with corpses and dead people but this opened up a space for a debate about the deaths that are taking place and of course brought a lot of attention to the demo that was going to take place on the Saturday the march of the resolved. Now what happened during the week was suddenly someone at the Oranienplatz in Berlin someone put up a grave this was no one involved connected to the centre for political beauty and this went viral in hundreds of European cities people started to dig up grave mounds on public space in public grounds and few hashtags and tumble blog raising visibility of these things is all that's needed and due to all these graves that had been put up throughout Europe and mostly Germany there was civil disobedience that seemed legitimate and this happened in cities, in parks, in front of town halls of course there was a problem putting up that memorial with diggers and hammers and all that that was not going to happen there was a talk with the authorities and all kinds of authorities got involved when things get more dangerous, more authorities get involved now this actually involved 12 authorities the Federal Criminal Police Office and the Health Authority of central Berlin everyone was very concerned and on the Friday, one day before the march of the determined police forbade the use of diggers and carrying of corpses and the centre reacted with this text without any irony we ask you for the following do not go in masses carrying coffins at the Chancellor's office in no case organise yourselves and so on and this is then what happened 7000 people joined the march of the determined went to the parliament where fences had been put up around the parliament and suddenly somehow the fence didn't hold anymore and these 7000 people then flooded the lawn in front of parliament in a very determined way they were not running, they were slow it really was a very beautiful act of civil disobedience everyone was entering this lawn and right at the centre of power and between the Chancellor's office and parliament graves were being dug up well, not dug up, created grave mounds were being created and the police, even for an hour the police with all their determination were not able to prevent this they were being pushed back all the time but 91 people were arrested in the end as many as in the first of May riots often take place in Berlin the largest action of civil disobedience in Berlin for the last few years and it really put the spirit of disobedience into the heart of the capital all kinds of hipster hippies hacker left radicals theatre people, a nice mixture and that's one of the strengths of civil disobedience that you have a very broad range of actors not just one group and then it gets much more difficult to prevent this so you have this rare combination of action art and mass civil disobedience leading to something like political poetry and creating an arena for this very important topic also from the refugee topic migration topic there was an action that kind of got covered up in the whole treason affair but the pen collective which always do very funny and good actions put up a high profile campaign a very stylish kind of campaign classic call to break laws calling on people to use the holidays and pick up refugees and get them across the border with a very well done video looked very professional showing how helping refugees can work the nice thing about this campaign was first it set a contrast to all those racist rights that took place in the country against asylum homes it argued in a strictly moral way but gave concrete advice on how to get through the borders if you're carrying a refugee as a passenger it collected money for legal assistance to those people that would get caught and this image of the bad the evil traffickers that is always being transported is now contrasted with the image of the good citizen that helps a refugee and even though this wasn't very legal the mass media was communicating this in evil at an evil range and the far right wing FPO in Austria was fuming about calling for the smuggling of asylum seekers this can't be done the FPO was very much against this and then right wing conspiracy theorists read the who is entry for that domain and found the Einrand Institute and immediately thought this is a US based conspiracy and US NGO great if things like that happen you really have done everything right a well-made PR company that works with the call for civil disobedience towards the mass not only to the left alternative but towards the mass that languages and nationalities are very important and also from the same organization there was a following very nice communication group action where the artists put up a wrong press conference of the fake press conference in the main office of Wattenfell and it appeared to be quite easy you only need an institute an iPad with mails that say I am allowed to do a press conference here and immediately everybody believes it and in this case they believe that Wattenfell was part of the good ones because the message was that we'll stay in eastern Germany and rearrange realign their business completely to renewable energies and in this case Wattenfell had to disannounce that and say we are not a part of the good but in the end everybody knew they will never sue because that way they will be in public again and again you can do those things if you are in a moral higher place than the companies who are afraid about that but being against the rules can also be quite low key but still have quite a big effect in this case they impersonated someone so next to the we go return from communication gorilla and go to the massive in this case they removed the gravel from the trail tracks to those that the trains can't run anymore train tracks used by the nuclear waste transports they called about that month in advance and one of the effects that happened was that a large debate happened about that about the form of protest and big papers published about the subject and they talk about whether that's ok so even if you just announce civil disobedience debates about political subjects can be put on the agenda and you can use them and cause demonstrations with that it's a great tool to put up political discussions some important people supported it in Wendland later 7000 people were part of it the police was concentrated very much on those that removed the gravel which was the most important one not only the removing of gravel was important but also the usage of passive weapons is not allowed so you mustn't protect yourself against the gas the train gas so in this case it was we don't work against humans except of very few special cases everybody accepted that so part of the thing that removing the gravel was they did not work well against removing of gravel but the important thing was that everybody talked about it and it arrived in the mainstream this term for removing of gravel was word of the year and it was also used in different protest in this case the removal of the gravel shows what's all possible civil disobedience so wide discussion was feasible another thing which was quite it's quite a time back is how you can play against the police that is much more important in this case it was about block G8 in Dam where many people wanted to block the streets towards the center and in front of them there were a lot of policemen soldiers who stand against them and despite the military action the blockades were successful you have to imagine this the police was on every street there were military helicopters and everywhere were police and with the tear gas and despite that demonstrations were active and part of that was the five finger tactic the five finger tactic is quite easy unfortunately it works in open country and not in this town and they do this in the five finger tactic the protestants turned into several fingers and in a long line they walked towards the street that has to be blocked and in the open country in this process with 7000 policemen you can't defend a road so the police will always look at the first finger first and some of the others will go through and even if the police arrives you can split again so there was a situation where 100 policemen came and the fingers split and the police did not know whether to go to the right or to the left so the tactic of police can be circumvented like that and if you circumvent police like that you will also gain victory about the image of the the work of the images in this case peaceful people walked through fields and color and flower fields but on the other hand the police started with helicopters storm against them so in this case if we do massive civil disobedience and a well thought out tactic we will or might have successes important on this example is that political action without the parliament usually nothing happens after a demonstration but after an act of civil disobedience you probably have small aim you succeeded so you mustn't during while they dig grave and after they came home they were quite happy and there was a lot of power and you take the people with you and they talk about it and small successes are also good now let's move on to what else is possible but this is not a call to copy what's coming you all know about the throwing of tarts and as a kind of action as a form of action this man from Belgium invented this and he called it his main aim to to tart as many self-obsessed and unjust people as he put it now this involves a cream tart with a soft base not with frozen cherries or something and this is then pressed or thrown onto the target now here is an example against Bill Gates in 1989 in Germany throwing the tart unfortunately is not well accepted and is judged as violent and this was seen when Theodor Zoguttenberg controversial politician was subjected to a tart in Belgium and Holland this is quite different now the strength of throwing tarts is in the viral spread of the images that are being produced a well known tart throw in Amsterdam said in a talk recently media can't resist it always works this is naked protest this is something you just do and it will get into the media surely but as tarts are not that popular here in Germany there is another creamy kind of development and this is glitter bombing throwing glitter onto someone and spreading the political message that way this starts in the US and mostly used in the fight against homophobic politicians here is an example Newt Gingrich but you can of course extend it to other topics for example Mario Draghi the head of the European Central Bank see how scared he looks there in the corner this is what happened recently as a protest against the treating of Greece treatment of Greece you could think it's further and use and choose politicians that transgress basic laws basic rights or companies that sell espionage software or tools the important thing about glittering is that you have to document it yourself or make sure that enough media is present to ensure that enough pictures are created and this is much more easily accepted than throwing tarts it's much harder to turn this into a crime a criminal charge use the kind of terrorism or course making it harder to be breathed in and that will then be even more safe against criminal prosecution but please don't do it another thing in Germany we celebrate people that in the January of 1989 1990 sorry January 1990 stormed the Stasi offices this was a few months after the wall fell and in view of the current scandals of surveillance it might actually be justified to face secret services make them face civil disobedience to fire the debate about their legitimacy as long as the only consequence of Snowden is that data retention is introduced and secret service budgets are being increased we have to ask ourselves oh we're having no pictures here some problems with the pictures have you ever squatted a secret service we have to ask ourselves which mosaic pieces in the fight for civil rights are still there and civil disobedience surely is one of those and that brings us back to the question what civil disobedience is good for emancipative self-empowerment says this slide it's good because it is self-empowerment when Rosa Parks in 1955 sat down in a bus in the south refusing to free her space for a white person and got arrested this was one of the starting points of the civil rights movements in the US and subsequently this movement succeeded in democratic removing segregation in the US so disobedience sets a sign and can have an effect to motivate others to join and civil disobedience is participative and it's solidarity you have to be able to rely on each other and in most actions of civil disobedience you can see the tenderness of solidarity sitting down in a blockade with unknown people or being helped by people if you have tear gas or spray thrown into your eyes because you have to stand together and working the law together and in a world in which we are told every day we have to extend a hand in solidarity and this is very fitting and we could see this in the last few weeks the good old platitude something is a weapon love I guess is a weapon and there are more reasons you can celebrate small successes if your opponents block a lawn you can't demonstrate you can't demonstrate close to parliament and suddenly still despite the presence of the police someone succeeds in doing exactly that you can set a sign against the dying in the Mediterranean that the government takes for granted or accepts and this is really very empowering and if you have ever taken part you will never forget the experience but it protests of all kind strengthens the immunity of the democratic society and it's a form that can change the world for the better and of course having fun with protests should not be neglected these are people protesting against huge rents as they go for a viewing of a property that is to be rented out you can temporarily take possession of something if you want to change the world it has to make fun you have to be able to dance the truth of civil disobedience is you can forge new alliances and particularly civil disobedience is a chance for forming broad alliances because you agree to a consensus of action and because you have to stick together for it to work these alliances tend to be stronger than others and they are not something arbitrary the punk with the grandmother and the left radical and the democrat go together the stronger the social movement is and the harder it is to attack it and you can create public publicity that way calling for civil disobedience winning prominent celebrities will give you publicity even months before the event this is a well known German English TV personality and it extends democracy it is a chance to really develop democracy it democratizes institutions it further radicalizes and extends it even against the state and that's how I want to close thank you very much and don't forget dare more civil disobedience here thank you for listening your translators were Sebastian and Sebastian we haven't defined a hashtag for your feedback but I hope you've been able to follow us and you've enjoyed the translations I guess I'll call for the hashtag cccampen if you want to write something on Twitter most of that thanks a lot for this talk we have a lot of time left for questions the microphones are to the left and right in the aisles someone is at the microphone I can't see is there anyone there ok please start left microphone please hello yes first of all thank you very much for your presentation I really liked it another addition I thought about that the FIFA boss was thrown at with money which I also like quite a bit which was fitting I have a question now have feeling that in the recent years or maybe the last year the civil disobedience grew or was more public gained more public do you think the same I don't really have the impression that it's grown a lot there have been a few good campaigns that have been so strong that they may create the impression but I think that in the last few years there was a development that started at the G8 summit in Heilingen Dam in northeastern Germany and the large alliance that now blockades Nazi demos and this really got into the heart of society and was transported and that was thanks to this alliance that was created there and that made it simpler and easier for people to take parts and not say this is so dangerous I'm going to break the law I can't do it so quite a lot has been done to make civil disobedience easier and this could be extended could be taken further how do you see about collecting biometric data when you protest if I protest in say Berlin in October if I protest against I would like to go there would I have to put up my mask or change my eyebrows because they would collect my biometric data through the videos and I'm registered immediately well wearing a mask at the demo is difficult because there is actually a prohibition against concealing yourself you'd have to use large eyeglasses or something now the thing at the Reichstag at the parliament for one thing the action itself with all those photos and filming of course creates its own publicity public awareness and reaches a lot of the public but you have to be aware that all pictures in the net are then used by police to tell people you have been there you've been causing damage and you'll be so this is both you know thank you yes so there's not much you can do and then this could be a reason for you being pulled out of demos would you imagine that going to Berlin they really are going to collect the car registrations on the Autobahn well you have a mobile with you but let's say that the t-tip demo is not going to be something that will be extremely in the focus it's an officially planned demo it's going to be large it's not that dangerous I think and we all have a mobile with us so the authorities will know where you are and as in Dresden they've just pulled all the data of everyone that was in that cell of course it's good to protect yourself we could all not take our mob us but then we would have no pictures okay thank you we have time for more questions I have two short questions in my life first of all I would like to know what is your own connection with the subject have you participated in such uncommon protest actions in civil disobedience if you might give an example or two the other question is you also mentioned the naked protests and you always think about fame which is also a cool idea because the media can't resist there as well but you always have the feeling that for the fame it is not in a well naked protests are great in the 1960s throughout they have worked famine I think is a difficult case in a way because I don't know this is kind of place with the pictures that the media would like to have but there is a well justified criticism from a feminist point of view but I think nakedness in general works go somewhere naked call the press storm Nazi pubs naked works and media can't resist of course I don't think this is going to be to wear out particularly in a rural setting more than in cities can you also talk about your personal background yes of course civil disobedience is not oh fuck it's illegal yeah sure it's a really good experience because there is a different kind of power that you experience compared to a walking demo and it challenges the state but not in a simplistic kind of way in but intelligently and well founded and that's what I like and the whole feeling recently someone wrote that it's a mixture of of kissing snogging and showing the finger it gets kind of hectic the police wants to attack you but at the same time people help each other it's an incredibly exciting situation I really like it thank you I really like the idea with Secret Service a couple of years ago they were the idea of with all the transparent actions to have a day of the open door at the BND or with the Secret Service within Germany or but the problem is that they are all in not in Berlin maybe we'll go there somewhere another thing is the December where they celebrate the 75th birthday so let's go to Cologne everywhere and so but on the other hand the BND in Berlin is going to open soon yeah I think an open day is always a good motto but it will take a large alliance to approach this this would have to be mass several disobedience well planned and November is almost too short I would say but of course these people are not going away another question continuing with the previous I noticed that the examples you had in your talk the Congress took not a part except of whistleblowing so data protection data security surveillance and also thinking about it I only remember one case where it started with the NSA a student in Wiesbaden started walks towards the NSA point and it was quite funny how the government reacted to it and the US security services if I have if the subject here have not managed to mobilize what is the reason and could we change it well the fact that we don't manage to get a mass protest against surveillance and that this topic of basic rights and freedoms has been around for such a long time it's difficult perhaps we should try and use civil disobedience to get the debate going again it's never scaled that well but you know the annual walking demo is not the concept that will carry this forward we'll have to rethink it is important that people get together and have a large event but we'll have to think about new ways otherwise it won't work is the subject maybe not has it doesn't have enough moral point is there not enough indignation indignation against it because nobody everybody says hey I don't have anything to hide instead of with well maybe it's not tangible enough people don't feel it individually it's so far away or this metadata people think tend to think it doesn't affect them we need more example where say a 19 year old person girl is not allowed to enter the US because police have read their facebook chats so what's missing are these concrete tangible examples you don't have the neighbor that drills into your home and puts a microphone there instead it's very abstract it's not very easy to communicate and the examples are missing and then of course technically it has to be explained the way it works and then the NSA is so far away what do they want from me so that's the difficulty for this movement to get more protests onto the streets another question once you start from the quite comfortable protest in Germany the more well known activism forms of the recent years were the Maidan protests in the Ukraine what could we take that from the forms of civil disobedience or say another stab well there is this debate about civil disobedience only working in mature democracies because where you can assess the consequences and if you then look at the Arab revolutions or the Maidan protests in Ukraine they all use the means of non-violence because that is the strongest the opponent the state in this case is then attacking peaceful people and this clearly shows you as the victor and violence deters people and prevents large alliances which is why the large alliances against authoritarian systems are those that are building on non-violence and you can then argue of course methods of disobedience are being used but if this fits into the concept of civil disobedience I'm not so sure I cannot put up this beautiful colourful protest that is being shot at water or tear gas something that you can't handle but they are not going to shoot me with ammunition and this is where things get different and there are some certain limits to civil disobedience in that

Close on the heels of the gold rush in 1849, followed crime and lawlessness. Bandits and outlaws murdered honest miners for their gold. Years later, mining companies organized, but to some extent the evils still persisted, until finally the ever-reliable United States Marshals were enlist in the miners' war on crime. We move now to a mining town in New Mexico and join lightning Jim Whipple and Whitey Lawson in the office of the Aztec Mining Company. Lane Prentice, the company's express manager, is reading a letter Lightning has given him from the Attorney General in Washington. Hmm. Now, it says in this letter that you boys have been assigned to track down the vermin that's been murdering our guards and stealing our gold, when you're figuring to start, Marshall. Just as soon as Whitey here can water the horses, well, I get the lowdown on these Stephen Chiles. Here, read the letter, Lightning. And we're going to put down the feedback first. You wish, my stomach gets growling versed in a store of screeds, Charles. I got some bread and cheese in my pack. We'll eat it on sale. Oh, that's cute. What about it, Prentice? Can you give us any clue to the hombres that's been doing this study work? I'm afraid not, Marshall. All I know is that the gold shipment seemed coming through from the mining anandas. Of course, I've got my suspicion. What kind of suspicion? Well, I don't like to gab about a man behind his back, Marshall, but... Well, this new fellow up there, of mine is Jeff Allen. He's been acting mighty suspicious lately. Yeah? What is business? He's the new field boss at anandas in charge of shipping the gold. I see. You kind of figure Allen's responsible for seeing to it that the gold don't get here, huh? Well, I ain't sure. But all I know is them shipments were never held up till Jeff Allen was appointed field boss. What's more, Allen and me are the only ones who know when the gold's coming through. Well, yes, me and Whitey but a half alone and take a gander at Mr. Allen. What trail do we take? Well, there's only one trail you can take, Marshall, and that's through the mountains. I see. And take a guide with you, and when you get to anandas, keep your eye peeled. My hunch is that Jeff Allen knows more about them murders than is told in gold, and he's admitting. Well, I reckon we must be halfway to anandas, but now that is providing Pedro the guide up ahead there so he knows the trail. Well, Pedro knows the trail all right, Lightning. He tells me he just arrived for the mining company before the gold was stolen. That's true. You get the idea of who's doing it, Lightning. No, Whitey, I ain't. Our friend, Prentice, wasn't much help. Senor! What is it, Pedro? This is place, Senor, where El Bandito killed Garden, still gold. Well, I want to give this place a look today. Maybe there's a clue to the jazz what it's been doing all this killing and stealing. What you got there, Whitey? Don't go and define no, Lightning. It's the piece of silver, I reckon. Let me look at it. Well, you old pole cat. That's a bullet. Silver bullet. Silver bullet? I don't blame you, though, for not recognizing it in the future. Now, in manufacturers nowadays, it'll fire a plug like this. Hmm. The innocent-looking play thing, ain't it? Tell her bullets, Senor. It is the same bullet El Bandito used to kill El Capitan of the gold train. Yeah? Oh, that's a story, eh? First time I heard of a killer using a silver bullet, but it puts a mighty interest and light on. Mother of the door! Get the cover picked! There's rather shootings coming from Whitey. Over there behind that rock. See the smoke? Oh, I see it. They're sneaking skunk. I'll show him something. Oh, Mr. Whitey. There he goes. Look at him hide. Tell it out of there. Well, I get him for sure this time. The late Whitey has ducked out of sight.  Steady thunder. Come on. Let's hit the trails. We got some tall riding to do.  Whoa! Whoa! You think the fellow knows who we are, Lightning? That's just what I'm thinking. There's only one hombre knows we have taken the trail to Hernandez today. Unless my guess is some local Whitey, the snake that's been aiming to kill us is our friend Prince. Arriving in Hernandez, Jim and Whitey went immediately to the office of Jeff Allen.  If anybody can get up these murdering yellow bellies, you're the one. Thanks, Mr. Allen. They have to provide them target practice for one of them this afternoon. I'm just itching to lay hands on that gang. You're a course for me, too, but tell me. Tell me, Mr. Allen. Have you ever seen me like to this before? I sure have, Marshal. Yeah? It's a silver bullet, the same kind of plug that's been used to murder the leader of the pack train every time the gold is stolen. And there's all those located clean through the heart. You can even established that yes, there must be a dead shot. All right.  Every time the shipment is held up, they're Mexicans of mine, high tailored out of the mountain, a blabbering about evil spirit dressed like ghosts with grinning skulls on their chest. Yeah? Yeah. And by the time I heard them back, the gang's been moved for the gold. I see.  No, Marshal, I didn't. My job is to stay here and supervise the camp. But if we can't get the gold through to Youngsville, there ain't no sense in mine on it. I'm taking the next shipment and throw myself. Yeah, when you're planning your next shipment. Thursday. Thursday. That's two days away. Uh-huh. Does Prentiss know about it? What? Sure. He knows every time I ship the gold. Tell me, Mr. Allen, has there ever been any bad blood between you and Prentiss? Oh, I wouldn't call him that, Marshal. He was just a mite put out because I was a pointed field boss up here instead of him. That's all. I see. He ain't suspecting Prentiss. No, no, I ain't suspecting nobody yet. One last question, Mr. Allen. Huh? Do you know of an ombré in this part of the country that collects Spanish antiques? Uh, you mean family heirlooms and stuff like that? That's it, Jules. You know old furniture. Maybe even guns that were used a couple of centuries ago. As a matter of fact, the doom, Marshal. Yeah? Yeah. Don Felipe Ramirez, his name is. And to hear him talk, he's got to find his collection of Spanish antiques in the country. Where does this Don Felipe hang out, Mr. Allen? He lives in that big ranch up there in the hill. But you can generally locate him at the Café La Casa Ora. Thanks. Hmm. Come on, Waddy. Let's play a little visit to La Casa Ora. See that dark sinister look in the spanish at that table over there, Waddy? Uh, you mean, they gave it alongside Brunson the Black Mosque? Yeah, that's one. That's Don Felipe Ramirez. I had to bar him to point him out. Come on, we have to go over and introduce ourselves. I've got me an idea, Waddy. Good evening, Mr. Ramirez. My name is Gemma. Good evening, Mr. Ramirez. My name is Gemma. It's my assistant, Land Olson. Hey, oh, hey, please, come here. Mr. Ramirez, what gun I do for you? Mr. Ramirez, I'm the Precious and agent for a wealthy antique collector in San Francisco. His name, I'm not at liberty to disclose. My client has heard of your excellent Spanish antiques, and they sent me down here to make you an offer. Your client is a wise man, Senor. My collection is famous all over the device. Yeah. Many of my pieces have been bequeathed to me by my ancestors. Well, that's true. Oh, sure. And you'll show us your collection, Don Felipe?  My collection, it is not for sale. Oh, it's too bad. However, maybe you like I'll show it to you, eh? Yeah, sure would. Sure, come, Senor. We go to my ranch. I show you something you will not forget. Will Don Felipe's collection of antiques betray the identity of the mysterious bandit killer? We'll follow the two marshals on their adventures in just a moment. And now for part two of the thrilling adventures of Lightning Jim and the Silver Bullets. Masquerading as purchasing agents for a wealthy antique Lightning Jim and Whitey have been invited by Don Felipe Ramirez to see his collection of Spanish heirlooms. We join them now at Don Felipe's ranch show. Well, Senor, what do you think of Don Felipe's collection, eh? Well, sir, that's the most complete collection of Spanish antiques I've ever seen. Oh, yes, sure. That's a mighty interesting pair of silver-mounted pistols hanging over the fireplace, Don Felipe. Mind if I take a look at them? Do not touch them. Do not touch them. Why? I do not mean to be rude, Senor, but these pistols, they are my most prized possession, very old and brittle. If you touch them, they fall apart. Oh, well, they look strong enough to shoot. Nevertheless, Senor, you will not take them from the wall. Senor, you, uh, wish to see me, Pancho? Yes, Senor Ramirez. Pardon, uh, Senores. Sure. Senor, a friend just he waits for you in the office. Gratio, uh, you will excuse me, Senores. There is a matter I must attend to. That's all right, Don Felipe. Oh, I take your time. Big worry. We've got to act fast. Hey, what you going to do, like me? I'm going to have a look at them pistols that Don Felipe just found. I've got to hunch the gun that fired this silver bullet you picked up on the field. You might miss, yes. He does not say you to come to the ranch with me. I sneak in through the secret passage. I try to have it come to warn you. To warn me? Yeah. I had a visit this morning from two United States Marshals, Lightning Jim Whipple and Whitey Larson. They're in an in this right now and must to get them hold up, we pulled off. Why you not come tell me this morning? Because I was following Whipple as far as I divide. Tried to slug him, but he... What do these Lightning Jim look like? Well, they're like American strikes. Whitey the Swede is a... Swede? One of those using Swede? Yeah. Well, that's wrong, George. Oh, yeah. Come here. Now, look. Look through those craps in the door and tell me what you see. Jump in, Jim. That's Lightning Jim Whipple and Whitey Larson. The two Marshals I've been telling you about. You see, I suppose I suspect you are stealing my gold and croaking my gold.  Come with me while I get the gun. I will show these in your Whipple what it means to mess the joke with Don Felipe. Now, Whitey, how wild and shiny these pistols are. They've been in the Don family for a hundred years, all right, but I'm not sure if the Silver Bullet fits in them pistols. Whitey pushed it down Felipe killed the Larson stole the gold and kept it. They were there would prove the bullet was fired from the Don pistols, Whitey, but it wouldn't prove the Don pulled the trigger. That's what we've got to prove. They have done something too. Look here in this pistol box and a mantel. According to Jeff Allen, each of them guards for Don Felipe is just the kind of a sharpshooter that we've been looking for. You are very smart. Keep your hands up and your hands out for him, boss. He's lightning on the door. It's about time you hoisted your true color apprentice.  I hope you're shooting the powerful lot sharper than it was back there on the trail. There ain't gonna be no next time for you, Whipple. Your number's up right now. You're better than the silver bullets in your weeper. Gracias. Senor apprentice. You will take away the guns of the prisoner. You bet I will, boss. That is good. No, amigos. You will go as I direct. The senior weeper is a lover of rare antiques, Senor apprentice. Maybe in my underground chamber of horrors we will have no little instrument of torture with which to amuse you, man. Late that night, Lane Prentiss and Don Felipe hold a conference in the Spaniard's private office. You seem nervous. Hell, I am. The United States government men and women. You underestimate Don Felipe, Senor. Our friends, the Martians I have the way of making men disappear. The way I've been bequeathed to me by my ancestors. When will the gold be shipped again? Well, firstly, that's two nights from now. Jeff Allen's aim is to take the shipment through himself. I think you do not like Los, Senor Allen, huh? You're thinking straight, boss. I've been aching to get even with that double cross and pole cat ever since that shelled a bullet in his heart. Maybe, Senor, you like it better if the gold is shipped tomorrow, huh? Then, no, Senor Allen, you have one day less to live. Hey, that'll be great. How you gonna fix it? I myself can do nothing, Senor, but I think maybe we persuade the Senor Weeple to arrange it for us, huh? Listen closely, amigo. Ready? Why do you wake up? Just sleep out of your highest partner. We got work to do. Oh, there are. Good night, Senor. Judging from the wicked look of lions hanging from the rafters, I'd say we was in Don Felipe's private torture chamber. Don't be near when he says to get out there. Oh, my God.  Oh, I think I forget all right late. Well, hang on to it, buddy. If we can pick Prentiss of the Spaniard and come in close enough to us, might come in handy. Yo, I use it to take care of that old banging on the wall over there. Yo, I see. That's marked with skull and bones on the front. Yeah, just like Jeff Allen said, I guess they've pushed it down just to keep for it. Yeah, but it still don't prove the Don killed the guards. Somebody's coming. Yo, I'm a bit of a Spaniard apprentice. Set on that iron thing you can't be ready. I got on. We can use it to make a break if you say an opening. Buenos dias, senores. You sleep well, huh? Oh, personally, I like sleeping in irons better than on a feather map. Yeah, the other side of his mouth before we're through with him, boss. Oh, yes, and you're now we make a better joke. Yeah, give those pen and paper to the senior Weeper. Yeah, boss.  Well, you have to unlock these irons first. And you will address the letter to the senior Jeff Allen. Right. The following, amigo. John, keep tough. You plan to ship gold tomorrow. Ship gold tonight. And trick them. I will join you later. Now, senior Weeper, you will sign it. No, leave it. Jeff Allen is taking the gold to himself. By sending this note, it'll be the same as sending him to his death. But he's the joke, amigo. You are not amused, eh? If you do not sign the note, senior, I make you laugh with the torture my ancestors use. I'm not a fool, Don Felipe. You're just all right. I'll sign it.  I give this note with your silver bullet to Pancho to take to those senior Allen. Then he will be positive if it comes from you.  I'll do that with pleasure. Hello, amigo. I will wait for you tonight at Limestone Rock. Let us off for much gold, eh? Adios, senores.  Hey, let me lock up them hands of yours and don't make no wrong moves, mister. You'll get a slug out of the way. Nice work, party. You're welcome. Sergeant, that iron bar on the floor. Made him turn around just long enough for me to crack him on the head with his handcuffs. Hey, you are dressed like an orate. We've got to work fast. Here's the key for your table. Your, your. Now, why don't you get into this whole cat's fur and go tonight just like the note there and tell him to be sure to wear this under his shirt when he takes the shipment through. Eh, what does that look like? It's an antique chain breastplate around on the floor. When you get to Jeff Allen, ask him to round up the party for you and surround limestone rock, but instruct your men not to open fire on the gang till down Felipe lets loose with that silver bullet at Jeff's.  What are you going to do right now? I'm gagging this whole cat and then laying him on his belly. So, is down Felipe else he could sleep face down? Yeah, but I mean what you want to do while I'm going. I'm staying here in second he evidence might you can expect me tonight at limestone rock. Yeah, but supposed that'll it become better. Just I gotta do right. and catch him in the act of trying to kill Jeff Allen. Oh, yes, or yes, he know, but get going. Ain't got no time to lose. Lightening gym, pretending to be chained and handcuffed, awaits the coming of Don Felipe. Oh, I see my two brave law eagles are skill in their mess. Yes, Don. We know when we're late.  Oh, not you will never do, Marshall. When I return with the gold from the holdup, I have plans for you and your deputy. My ancestors have bequeathed me not only a heritage of fine weapons, but the knowledge of how to dispose of those who, shall we say, annoy us. Yeah, we take a lot of killing, Don. And if you do torture us to death, just remember there's more United States Marshalls where I come from, and they'll get...  No, I shall see that the chains of you and your deputy are good and secure. Now, now, now, look here, Don. Now, have a little mercy, can't you? My deputy's worn out worrying about what you're gonna do to us. He shall tell us sleep.  Oui bien. I am sure senor Prentice changed you both well. He's very afraid of your reputation, Marshall. Bueno, I've gone out to gather a little more gold for my storeroom, which, as you already know to your sorrow, is filled with the gold shipments which are so mysteriously disappeared, just like you will do when I return. So the masquerade was successful, and unaware of the trap that Lighting Tim had set for him at Limestone Rock, the Spaniard donned his weird white robe with a grinning death-head and rode to meet the gold train. Releasing himself from his chains, Lighting Tim trailed him and joined Whitey in concealment behind a huge boulder. Men of prime for the fight, Whitey. Your Lighting, eh, they got the don and his teething coyotes surrounded. And there he is, it's in for me to give them the words. Listen. Whitey, tell me, Lighting, where comes the tag train now? This is the gold train, all right. There's Alan Biden around the bend. Look, Whitey, the Spaniard. Didn't you hear, Lighting? Did you hear Mr. Allen, did you hear the bullet? Show your fire, Whitey. Alan's got on the train on that. We've got to give the Spaniard the first shot. Here it is. Turn your walls, Luke. Whitey! All right, boys! Go down that chest over there, Ed. Why, do you see, Whitey? Oh, you are more clever than I thought. You escaped my chains, but you will not escape my shield, Whitey. Look on, Lighting! Oh, you are my guppleman and your weepers. Never have I seen a godly arrow so light and fast as a drop. Never have I seen a godly arrow so light and fast as a drop. Never have I seen a godly arrow so light and fast as a drop. Thanks for ending. You all right, Whitey? Sure thing, Mr. Allen. Don's bullet didn't even hit me.  Well, that's the old Marshal. He's one thing you cannot prove. Oh, yes, it can, Don Felipe.    Hope you, sir, Allen. Let me see that chain breast place you're wearing. Of course.  Hey, young Marshal, what are you doing? I'm looking for the silver bullet that's aspired at you just a few minutes ago. That is like all the other fancy shooting. This one's embedded right over the heart. If Whitey hadn't brought you this armor to wear, you'd be pushing up daisies now. Dead burned if I wouldn't. And so ends another thrilling adventure in the lives of United States Marshal, Lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy, Whitey Larson. Thank you for watching.


Welcome folks, this is Jacob Schup with the 4pm market update. I hope you all had a great day and your trades were profitable. The ES closing about $4400, the Russell about $1757, NQs about 1%, we have the Dow about 0.89%. That's the Dow futures of course. Good contract finishing at about 19.32 and 10 cents and that showed some pretty significant strength of last week and we had a little bit of a down day today but that's alright. See how we shake out with the dollar there, take a look at the dollar closing about $106.19. Still somewhat strong especially coming down from that downdraft right and it's been doing it. We had a few fake outs like that right this is one of the first big fake outs and then it shot right back up to $107 doing the same. Now it didn't get the same juice up to $107, came back to about $106, like $78, kind of small for my eyes there and then we came back down a little bit so we'll see how that kind of moves out and we might get a consolidation around $105, $106 which wouldn't be that bad, right? At least we could kind of anticipate what's going to happen with that. Let's take a look. Silver at $2274 we have copper trading at $358 ton there, Tesla $253 so we'll talk a little bit about them in a second. Steel Dynamics obviously at $104.72 and the Q's $369, Meta $320, Disney $85 they're going to increase the prices of entry into the park so they saw all these different kind of packages to get in and they're increasing it kind of significantly so they have raised price emission of its two most popular theme parks and that's Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida. The prices of those theme parks have increased between $5 to $65 depending on the type of ticket. Disney is also upping the price on annual passes to Walt Disney World. The higher prices were effective as of I think Thursday of last week. Increase the day based tickets which most visitors purchase will stay the same at $104 per day for entry into Disneyland and $109 per day for Disney World. So they're just really getting it out of the people who are sticking there with them. Folks, thank you so much for joining me. I will be back with you tomorrow at about three o'clock same time as always and we have Tommy tomorrow at 9 a.m. Have a great rest of your day folks.


This one is called I pray to you for all of India's students fighting against the CAA and NRC. You student, you student of resistance, unfurling a banner, thrice your chest. You forming a fence with the unwavering flag of your body. The blue in your long line of blood, lines of blood streaking your skin penetrated by the nation's bullet. The nerve in your eye holding back its water in the face of tear gas.  Tomorrow, my dear student, is another sponsored history textbook that will white out your name. This day its souls and its slogans. My forehead kisses the floor of your courage five times a day and six and seven. There is no internet shutdown, no cut-off, no curfew that can stop a prayer that begins and ends with no. May the static of your bullhorn enlarge your spirit voices, deafen the ears of those parliamentary beasts in murderous thrones. I imagine them muting you when you are on television with your banners. Those beasts licking their fingers at dinner as they wipe clean our democracy morsel by morsel. There you are and you and you challenging our cold capital sky in this coldest winter of Delhi with portraits of Ambedkar and Gandhi. I worship you as I do church goers who hold up their children to the blankness above us. Tonight I wrap myself in your muslin message, painted with inkalab in all our recognized and unrecognized languages.    And you dear poet Faiz, I beg you for a new war cry. You are all my gods, you are all citizens in the cathedral of my faith finding heart. Each of you is a country in my 37.2 trillion celled body. You are the only country I want to wake up in. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. I acknowledge that this is not the right audience and I wish I was home protesting outside the prime minister's home or in the streets of Bombay, which is my city, but I really, really needed to say that. All right. Over the last three months, I've been trying to write a whole lot of new poems, which still feel like they're in conversation with the first book I wrote. So this one is called Genesis. Genesis, age zero. I am upside down in her belly, deemed impossible to be a natural delivery. My grandmother picks a lucky Thursday.  Genesis, age seven. My neighbour, 11, his friend, 13, beg to see what's under my frock. Genesis, nine. My father is desperate to have me shifted from a co-ed school to a convent school. The nun at my school interview asks if I've been exposed to multiplication. Genesis, age 11. Mum says I'm always constipated because I don't give my shits enough time. All summer every morning I spend an hour in the loo, Christian each tile with a name A through Z. Each name is a name I want to give my child. Daughters come out first. Genesis, age 16 through 20.  Welcome to the auction of my hunger. I say more, stop, more, stop, more, stop, stop now. Genesis, age 22. I locate a chemist shop my father wouldn't have frequented.  The morning is a pink pill in a blister pack, 0.2 centimetres in diameter. It has a butterfly engraved on it. The brand name is eye pill. Who is the eye in eye pill? I swallow it body and wing, wait for my blood to return to me. Thank you. And then I think the occupational hazard of being a poet is to keep chasing ghosts of old lovers. So this is for one of those old loves or its remembrance. Fade out him.  I want to find a way to pray to my desire, my desire a beast more loyal than any family I've ever had or chosen. My desire a cage pacing, hungry lion, kiss the heat of its ravenous floor, sprinkle it with holy water, bless its recurring birth mysterious as heads of waterfalls. All of last year I brought your name to the page as a knife that could sculpt the shape of our bodies, slice the curves of our resentments. When I read us out loud, they clapped when I said come.  That line about love though got not the laugh I wanted it to. I prayed once to you in song with that con ball of a refrain, tujh mein rab dikta hai, yara mein kya karun, in you I see a God to my beloved, what do I do? Sajde sar jhukta hai, yara mein kya karun. Like a trader now, I'm trying to write you off as a bad debt in the books of my body. But how can I forget I'm still the daughter of a businessman who wants scribble love songs on borders of outstanding bills, receipts and refund slips. How do I then make a prayer of forgetting? How do I sift your skin from the skin of my want and with what must I graft the face of separation? Just before we left home, my father or I for an exam or an important deal, my mother used to place a sugar cube on our tongue for fate to go easy on us. So now before I enter another body, I let your name swell and slowly dissolve in my mouth. Very rarely do I love my first ruffs, but I love this one. Can you all hear me okay? Can you all hear me okay? Clever. Fourth, meaning the fourth day after the funeral. In this dream I have of mother, she still hasn't lost her hair. When she arrives, she doesn't speak. Three days since she has become a waz. Gone in a maroon salwar kurta, I knew she did not like. In this dream, she doesn't speak, she stands still as if for a fitting, still as I stood after school on a stool as she measured the holes of my arms for a robot costume. Her silence prudent and willful as if she'd be taxed per word. Silence sits between us like the suggested time for thawing on a recipe. And I tell her in my preteen voice, don't worry mama, I am like super wise now in three days. I've been reading the Bhagavad Gita and shit, all the heavy duty parts. You know, the body is only a vehicle. I mime the soul its driver. She looks at my steering hands and back at my face the way she looked at me when I faced my first stage. She taught me how to be a robot in 1991. I am the pinnacle of the human mind. My speech's opening line. I am the pinnacle of the human mind. I rehearsed as she fixed the tinfoil head on me. I wake up feeling like something between a god and a robot. But in the dream she doesn't speak, she looks at me the way I saw her from under my guise. As we waited in the wings and she kept pricking tiny holes in my tin head making several inconspicuous openings for me. So I could go on breathing. At this point, I think it's possibly toxic and dangerous to be owning my mother's last lipstick. She passed away in 2008 but I'm still holding on to it. The shade is called berries and creme as is this poem. Berries and creme.  I'd forefeet all my words for a snippet of her voice. Her absence keeps swinging into my frame like a door with a broken latch. A mysterious spot in the house lets the cold raft in. In Egypt, they force open the mouth of the dead to help the soul find fuel in afterlives. The first night my mother tucked me in a separate bed in a separate room she swore on her mum she'd always leave both our doors a little open. An amber light still hums a lullaby in the passage connecting our rooms. Did you know grief is a multi-use punch card with no concession at the end? Did you know that any love song can become a veil if you sing it over and over? Imagine this simple tune. I make my lips wrestle each other in the last midge of her discontinued shade and like a test sound from a sax a long hollow note defends the room. So one of the superstitions that my family very strictly believes in is that you be don't pass anything sharp or metallic by hand. You place it on the table and wait for the other person to take it because passing it by hand forbids a fight.  Dinner conversation. I walk to our living room having cut the tiniest hole in the restaurant's chutney packet. Hand my father the scissor to cut open the tied bag of vadas already losing their crunch. He motions for the metal to be put down then lifts it up because we believe that passing sharp objects means a fight is about to happen. The marigolds on my mother's funeral frame are still alive. We share a bowl, eat the dosa straight from the single leaf it came wrapped in. Less mess, less dishes.  We are four eye bags and a race to the remote's volume high button. I mute the possibility that my father skimped on my mother's cancer treatment. Like a chutney that's clever enough to never let its final ingredient be known, my father holds back his decision to remarry. I swallow the sambar's drumstick whole with skin. Ask the channel to be changed to comedy. He leaves to wash his hands. I'd be able to identify his agitated gargling from planets away. This is a life split open between what's left over. Why isn't mom smiling wider in this photo we've chosen of her? If she were here, things would be different. At least two. One, no takeout. Two, no blades while eating. That woman could untie even the most invisible knots with just her hands. I wrote a screenplay for a feature length three years ago. I love saying that because it's never going to see light of day. It wasn't commissioned, but hey, I got paid for it. That was amazing. Notes from the producer on my first Bollywood screenplay. I write all back stories as a religion. The producer says it's inessential like knowing the Bible by road. He says, at best the past can be accommodated as a quick cut montage. Transition to the protagonist's current conflict, give her a minor victory. Tell me why she's unable to love. The answer rattles in the formative years. I argue on second draft and see myself morph into my therapist. How she preemptively slides the Kleenex box towards me before saying the words, your mother, your father. Can I ask my dad to stop singing Osathire in the bathroom then? But remember, this isn't their film. Assume they are gone, replies the producer again. There's never enough screen space for grief, but plenty in a Bollywood film for dance and song. Can a song advance the narrative? Another one-line email. I ask my dad to stop singing Osathire in the bathroom. The one from Omkara, a Hindi adaptation of Othello. As in that Omkara, which was the last film my mother and father ever saw together in a theater. He hums to the drum of the shower. Which means come, let's try to stop the day. Let's run after this dying sunshine. This is the story my father tells me filled with the same daily vigor as style drying his back after a shower. Omkara, what a real tragedy. The real was faulty. The film kept stopping. The theater was hot. Thank goodness your mother sneaked in pistachios in her dupatta. We left before it got over. Missing the big deaths. The way I reached three hours too late after my mother closed her eyes. A decade later, I will remind my father how it all ends. How does Demona is pretty, even in death. How else can I fall in love with her? How does the time faster make transition smoother? Consider another close. Lay memory out on an edit table. Hold delicately in my hands the scissor which is this mind. One blade loss, the other blade time. Thank you. If you haven't seen it, Omkara is a fantastic movie and I think it will be available online. It's a great adaptation of Othello. I'll do two more and then I'm going to call it a close. Thank you so much for having me. Obigery for cremation ceremony, women aren't permitted to attend. My virgin shell. Was it wider or narrower than the slit in the pyre through which my mother was set to flames? Penetration was my first stage of grief. Bombay sweat curdled under my bulk purchased thongs. The city's gutters overflowing the way I squirted pretend moans into ears and ears of hungry men. The smell of sex leaked into my theatre of loss.  My body a fist afash of the whole girl she once birthed. What else could I do with my earthly heat? What else could I do with my earthly heat but keep singing about disappearing? There is a stat I would love to see changed and that stat says that every 20 minutes in India a girl is raped. Hasn't changed for the last 10 years and these are only the cases that get reported which is a number in the early 20s. And every time a rape is publicly reported and news channels pick it up there is more often than not an all male panel that tries to discuss what is right and not for women. Those kind of news footage scenarios have led to this poem. An apple a day. An apple a day and a pear and a person in a banana at 6 a.m. Lately I've been eating a ton of fruits to accelerate my immunity. Pomegranate coming loose at its heart. Bleeding the front page headline another woman in India raped, beaten, found without breath, uterus, bra, belongings. Fresh blood oranges I slice dramatic as sunsets.  I am immune. Every 20 minutes a girl is raped in India. I let the statistic sticky as a jackfruit abduct my tongue. Late show hosts shade the body of the country into safe and unsafe zones. And which country do I belong to if my country begins with my body? Do I even care? 8262 miles away from home I am gently breaking open segments of mandarins arranging pips into smiley faces for the girl I babysit. Her ear abnormality makes her wail at the faintest sound of firecrackers bursting on the other side of the water. I say I'm sorry Peechi but tonight the giants have won again. The words desensitized, normal, not news lodged between my enamel-losing molars stubborn as seeds of tamarind, sour pleasure of pulp and flesh those tamarind sticks which damaged my voice box at 9. I secretly bought fistfuls with lunch money hid from mum as I did the story of the neighbour who begged me to show him what was under my red frock. Is stillness a kind of reacting? Have I reacted enough? Did I react the night a rom-com loving banker, blue moon and citrus lipped helped my hair captive at the back of a bar said, call me your master baby. Yes, no, what did I feed him? I am immune and is my yes, yes, yes, a submission of presence as in here sir or a submission of the shame I am to feel but cannot or is it a tick box checked under the pursuit of pleasure? And of course this is not the same at all as the news today. Some say the average girl is incapable of telling what is what is not rape.  My ex is a hashtagged predator, my co-worker calls himself an ally, my boss circulates a new HR policy. Another girl is raped, I am immune, I carry my body and infested orchard to another candle march, hold hands with women I have nothing and everything in common with. Every was it abuse or not riddle raises itself as the disappointed eyebrow of the convent nun who asked me during my kindergarten interview, is this tomato a fruit or a vegetable? This belief is the first song I picked up when I learned to unbutton my urges, knew it as my national anthem before they could agree on a final name my family Christian me Chiku, a rough skin fruit, sweetness of malt survives only in intense warmth. It is cold inside a body that knows not was taught not to husk tyranny from touch. I forgive me, my every unknowing, my every denial avail for how could I let that happen to me. I offer my fruits ripe unripe even the rot that starts much before the bruising of skin to root deep silences my own and the ones I loan from every girl I cross paths with. I pray that all the missing parts of the girl can be found. Thank you so much for having me. Thank you.
