Before we began, just saying,you know, if you do not

(02:27):
share strange recon on some sort ofsocial media app with the hashtags strange recon
or UFOs whatever we're talking about today, you know we'll never get a chance
to let the Boy watch. Heneeds to learn the way I learned from
my father, the way he learnedfrom his father. All right, vercon,

(02:50):
let the boy watch. That's right, ladies and gents, boys and

we'll crack some jokes, you knowthe deal. Uh, Well, all
my Children star Matthew Cowells has diedat age sixty nine or HATSI, Norm,

(03:20):
chill out. We got to getthe show going here, Jesus.
Sometimes, if you don't know,every once in a while, I get
channeled by the coast of Norm McDonald. I don't mean to, you know,
I wish it didn't happen, butyou know, Unfortunately, I'm a
walk in freezer and Norm McDonald usesme every once in a while to get
a joke out there because I don't, you know, he didn't say him
enough when he was alive. Iguess, I don't know. It's just

(03:43):
weird. It just happens. I'ma true walking freezer, like people say
that exists out there. Are yougot that out? Thank you? All
right, Raycon. We got somestuff happening in the world. We got
some UFO stuff. We've got someinteresting military stuff. We're going to talk
about sticking into the staying to thePacific Theater like we have recently. We've

(04:09):
had Lord Lucrosom to talk about hisgrandfather and some of the stuff they were
doing out there. Of course theOperation Vengeance, which was a major turning
point in the war. But wehave some other people to talk about.
And San Diego Air and Space Museumhas a bunch of good information. As
soon as Chris told me about thatairfield, that put me into you know,
research mode, and I wanted toknow the battles that led up there,

(04:29):
how the Japanese had occupied it before, how we got it from the
Japanese. And so I set toall the places I know that has a
bunch of cool videos from back then. San Diego Air and Space Museum has
a couple evolving around it, butnot nothing too crazy. But one of
the things they do have is theaircraft that we were mentioning yesterday, the
P thirty eight, the P fiftyone, the P forty seven, and
some of the before the show,before the interview started. So I would

(04:53):
like for a second to play somethingfor you that I think is rather valuable,
and that is the Fight for theSky World War two seven P thirty
eight video. Well, I spinone up and bring the tribe together,
if you know what I'm saying.It's the weekend update. We're not taking

(05:15):
things too seriously around here. Let'swatch this video together and uh then when
we get back, we'll chat aboutsome stuff. We'll go down to a
river, chatt to Houcci something.Well, okay, Well, it's been
a long time. Hold on Weil, it's been a long time with Kelly
Johnson there, Dorothy Hawkins, thankyou for starting. Dorothy. You've been

(05:40):
suporting the show a lot lately.I really appreciate that you don't have to
do that right now. I reallydo appreciate it though, big time.
Dorothy. Thanks for the content,thanks for the good comments, helping us
all over here and keeping us alivewith support. Thank you. I really
appreciate that. But you do somuch to support the show already. Dorothy.
You now, if I'm asking youto sit back and just relax and

(06:01):
just know that you've supported it enoughthat I that I'm gonna I'm gonna say
that other people should step forth andtake up the torch there for Dorothy and
help support the show. She's doingtoo much. She's covering now for halfy
folks. You're getting free content herefor three years. I love it.
I'm just kidding everyone. You're special. You're great. Let's watch this video
together. When we get back,we'll chat about it. Don't go anywhere.

(06:21):
Learn some stuff about World War two. It's important. I'm not sure
if you're aware. I'm not tryingto be some sort of doomer or something,
but understand that, you know,there's a reason why all militaries are
starting to brush up on the bushon how to fight island island. I

(06:41):
don't know. There are a lotof islands that you can think of in
the Middle East that we're gonna befighting on. Ladies and guns, boys
and girls, cats and kittens.Lads, get in sin Mustang and eye
thunder down the strip together. I'mDoc Watson, President of the American Fighter

(07:04):
Races Association. We're made up ofass of all services and all wars.
You're about to see a remarkable demonstrationof critismanship displayed by Americans in World War
Two. We believe the film epitomizesthe principles of Americans stand for and which

(07:25):
are armed forces today proudly carry on. Aircraft and tactics have changed and will
continue to change, but patriots andcourage and skill, the vital qualities displayed
by our pilots in this film,will always be needed. The American Fighter
Races Association is proud to endorse thisfilm, and it is our hope that

(07:46):
the following scenes will help to keepalive the spirit that inspired us and thousands
like us to seize the initiative inthe air and join and triumph in our
fight for the sky. This isan American air base in East Anglia,

(08:37):
on the east coast of England,one of many such bases from which American
fighter planes swarmed up into battle againstthe German Air Force planes known as the
PT the Thunderbolt, a fast,tough, high altitude fighter with a dive
like its name and an eight gunblast in its wings. The Lightning,

(09:03):
the P thirty eight, master ofthe air and many theaters of war with
its long range and concentrated firepower.The Mustang, the P fifty one,
the longest range fighter in the world. Speed, fast climb, quick dive,
tight turn into these three great fighters, America bord its genius, it's

(09:30):
millions of man hours of labor,it's faith and victory against the love rob
and in their single cockpits. Itplaced these men relaxing now, but not
for long. At headquarters eight theirForce, General Doolittle is discussing fighter protection

(09:52):
eight Fighter Command. We'll give fightercover two targets and targets desirable if we
deal off as many fighters as possibleto come down east of the roar and
straight brown targets. The bomber plan, timing altitudes, strength, course and

(10:15):
targets reached the combat operations room atheadquarters eight Fighter Command. Major General Kepner,
commanding a field order goes out.Sixty second Group pevens will escort heavy
bombers over enemy coast through target tolimit of endurance. The machinery is set
in motion. Now comes the briefingfor the mission, and everybody present.

(10:39):
These thunderboat pilots are veterans of manymissions, so the colonel gives them only
the ascensions. They are to escortthe bombers to a target about forty miles
east of Mannheim and then proceed tothe strathing of air dromes north of Frankfort.
They're given times of takeoff, rendezvous, escort strathing. The pilots make
notes on the backs of palms oftheir left hands. Intelligence warns them that

(11:03):
they may expect considerable enemy opposition.Today. The Germans have brought in some
one hundred single engine fighters on thefield. Planes warm up, it's takeoff
time for the Thunderbolts. At otherbasis, time to the escort schedule.

(11:56):
The P thirty eights get underway andit's still others. The long range Mustangs
go to keep their rendezvous with thebombers someplace deep in Germany, somewhere out
there over enemy territory, near orfar in the long route. As the

(12:18):
bombers go out and come home,each of these formations will make rendezvous at
a certain point on the exact minute, the thunderbolts climb steadily over the channel
into hostile skies close to rendezvous andin the distance of the bomber's advanced formations

(12:48):
of an armada perhaps one hundred mileslong. The thunderbolts maneuver for their escort
position. Each pilot searches the skyconstantly, watching for the main enemy attack,
which may come near the coast ordeep in Germany, or hit and
run sneak attacks by the enemy's aerialsnipers. And then at another rendezvous point

(13:13):
comes a group of Mustangs to relievethe thunderboats. This is Red leader who
came in. It's time to breakescort. Mustangs coming in. At eight
o'clock. The Thunderbolts break escort.They head for home, watching for every
possible straightening target on the way.The mustangs, far in the distance,
sweep the surrounding sky as they comein to take the places held by the

(13:35):
thunderboats. One of the most importantfeatures of long range fighter escort is this
relay system. Because of the differencesin bomber speeds and the need of much
weaving, fighters used up their gas. Thus, the same group of fighters
could remain with the bombers only twentyfive to forty minutes out of a six
or eight hour mission going and coming, and a thousand fighters might be needed

(14:00):
to keep anything from forty to onehundred on the job at all times,
while the enemy could strike with twohundred and fifty at any point he selected.
Our fighter groups had to relieve arendezvous points all along the route,
but on the German side, theleft whopper was fore warned an hour and
a half in advance, even asour bombers gained alitude over England. This

(14:22):
captured German film shows how quickly theirone O nines and fock Wolf one nighties
got into action after a warning.They have plenty of time to mass their
fighters at a chosen point of attackand to outnumber our escort at anything from
two to one to ten to one. They were as grimly determined to stop
our great daylight thrust into their industrialheart as our bombers and fighters were resolved

(14:43):
to press them home. Meanwhile,deep in Germany, the group of escorting
Mustangs watches every corner of the sky, weaving ahead, above, below,
and all around the bombers like ascreen of destroyers protecting the main fleet.

(15:07):
They don't have long to wait foranother rendezvous, this time with the enemy
Blue Leader Here fellows Blue Night.At ten o'clock, they get rid of
their long range wing tanks before thefight, and down they go for the
kill with a touch of a fingeron the stick of camera and eight machine

(15:28):
guns are put into action. Smallcameras set on the wings make the record
too often poor pictures due to gunvibration, but they let you see what
happens in the instant of action.As the pilot seized. The enemy fighters
are massing for an attack on ourbombers, while our pilots watch every move,
but they're very tactics. You'll litit then lives with the bombers.

(15:54):
You're right. It comes another nineo'clock. The Jerrys make a sneak attack
on our bombers from behind. Guncamera film captured from the enemy reveals how
they hammer our bombers with their twentytwo millimeters. A PET seventeen catches fire
and goes down in flames. Thisone had half his tail shot off,

(16:19):
but it's still going ahead. Welose another, but they can't stop us.

(16:42):
Our fighters, often heavily outnumbered,engage the enemy all over the sky,
and this battle is only one ofmany. Day after day, month
after Mustangs, Thunderbolts, Lightnings againstthe enemy one oh nines as they back
woke one nineties our fighters attack,attack, attack, two into ten,

(17:07):
six into fifty. They blocked theenemy's mass assaults until our victory columns soars
at the rate of four to one. If a miss, rendezvous, or
other misadventure do usually the blinding weatherpre good fighter protection Somewhere. The bombers
suffered heavy losses, but no Americanfighter ever failed them because of enemy odds.
However, great never was a missionturned back by enemy action. However,

(18:30):
increasing fleets of fortresses and liberators presseddown to their targets and dropped their
loads. And the day arrived whena huge eight their force bomber mission with
full fighter escort was flown to Berlinand back without a challenge by a single
enemy fighter. But before that eventfulday, the Thunderbolts, Lightnings and Mustangs

(19:06):
had another mission to perform. Ourbomber and fighter losses were strikingly less than
the enemies, but the home frontsent us more bombers and fighters and more
well trained pilots and our fleets grewmightier by the month. First line operational
strength was maintained. Also, theGreat Air Battle of Europe was still undecided.
In February nineteen forty four, therewas a sudden change. Our fighters

(19:30):
were ordered to range wider, toseek the enemy in the air and on
the ground, instead of waiting forhim, and above all, to follow
him to his destruction. A giganticfighter battle raged across the European skies,
with victories by our fighters alone ofsixty eighty five over one hundred destroyed each
day. The fight came down fromalmost invisible heights to the final decision,

(19:53):
perhaps only a few feet above theground. Enemy wore planes of every kind
and in fantastic numbers, were splashedall over the landscape of northwestern Germany and
occupied Holland, Belgium, France.This was a crucial battle. Both sides
were aware of the coming events,with air domination itself at state once again

(20:15):
a better cause, better planning andleadership, better equipment, and beyond everything
else, the valor of our fighterpilots gave us victory. Only this time
it was decisive, so many ofthe enemy's aircraft exploded over his own forest
and housetops, or were driven flamingwrecks into the ground. So many of

(20:36):
his famous fighter leaders met death atthe hands of our pilots that his morale
was shattered. His defense plan wassmashed quickly. Our fighters seized their opportunity.

(21:07):
Since the enemy did not come upto fight down, they went to
blast his planes to pieces and burnthem on his own airdrooms all over Western
Europe and in the very heart ofGermany. It was the most savage and
devastating fighter attack on record. Returningfrom unchallenged escort duty and on many special
missions, they burned his aircraft byhundreds from one airfield to another. Intense

(23:25):
enemy flack sheets of machine gun firefrom flag towers and ground installations caused US
heavy losses four times as many asthe same number of fighters would sustain an
aerial contact. But our fighters neverflinched, and by their courage, faced
destruction in single engine planes only afew feet above the ground and five hundred
miles from their bases, until theyhad smashed the heavily concentrated front line operational

(23:51):
strength of the German Air Force forever. Now that the sky was ours,
another great opportunity became ours too.The destruction of the enemy transportation system that
fed and supplied the Great Armies countedon to repel the Allied invasion forces.
The enemies roads and railroads were struckwith the mighty force of air power.

(24:11):
These were tense days, crucial days, and both sides knew it. Our
fighters, freed by their bitterly wonvictory in the air, became a dominant
factor on the ground. They explodedlocomotives by the thousands and burned freight cars
and uncounted numbers. No train indaylight hours was safe, no target too
small, even a single railroad car, no marshaling yard a hat them.

(24:37):
The enemies desperately needed rail transporting systemwas shattered all over the map. They

(25:18):
attacked his barges, his oil tanks, black towers, radio and radar stations,

(25:52):
trucks carrying ammunition that supplies staff,cars carrying high German officials. This
one might have been wrong. Roadtraffic of every kind of description until enemy
convoys could only move effectively at night. What did this mean to the German
armies of the West. How didit count? On invasion Day in the
Battle of Normandy? They answer,is history? Our gallant armies are driving

(26:17):
ahead without having to keep one eyecocked over their shoulders, their gun emplacements
unobserved everywhere about the mighty battle wasand is the flash of American fighters.
The Germans see them deepen their ownsky and cringe. Our men see them
above the grim fight and sheer.There are remembered names in the mess halls.

(26:41):
Major Gerald Johnson a crack shot,Major Goodson, gallant fighter, Major
Dwayne Beeson, great tactician. CaptainEugene O'Neil one of the best. Major

(27:02):
Don Gentilly ran up a flaming record. Colonel Don Blakesley, great leader of
fourth Group, Major Walker Maheurat,one of the first and best of the
great aces, Major Bob Johnson andall his victories. Lieutenant Colonel Gabreski with

(27:23):
a great career, and Colonel HubertSimke, famous commander of fifty six,
a score of victories or more onthe records of them all. Duncan Shilling
Pretty and all our gallant fighter pilotswho, in the decisive hour smashed the
Looftwalker and gave us freedom of theair in Europe, just as that freedom

(27:45):
must now be gained in the Pacificand jumping over to the specific great segue,
there would be someone specific we're talkingabout yesterday, we're talking about Lord
Luacro's grandfather and and the aircraft heflew. We have ourselves. We have

(28:11):
ourselves, another couple of individuals thatthat you know, made a name for
themselves and there's still video record ofit. So I keep saying like that
between each word that was bad.Dick Bong is the guy's name. Can
you believe it? Dick Bong?Well it's actually Richard Bong, but everyone

(28:33):
loved to call him Dick. Iheaded over to signal watch dot com and
I believe he's passed away. NowI'm not sure. But I was looking
up, you know, today inhistory in World War Two and the battles

(28:56):
that were unfolding in certain things,and I just saw this guy's name pop
up over and over again at acertain time, and I had to look
him up because I hadn't, youknow, I was an instruman. You
know, I could name me somefamous infantry guys for both the Marines and
the and the Army, but it'sunlikely that I'm gonna remember too many names
from aviation. And one of thereasons why we're paying this up over here,

(29:17):
of course, is we don't wantyou to forget history, the individuals
that skelpted and changed it, foughtfor it, all that good stuff,
and a bunch of other reasons.You don't hear me say on weekend update.
I mean, after all, thisisn't supposed to be a serious show.
I mean, Ricon, just theother day, I was watching the
Flintstones. Remember the Flintstones. Yeah, I was watching the Flintstones. I

(29:38):
mean something sweet. It's like,you know, with their stone age drive
in and their cave man bowling.It just seems so dated. Okay,
that one probably didn't hit with you. M hm, Ricon. It's almost

(30:15):
Earth Day, the one day ofthe year you can whack off in public
and not get in trouble. MaybeI read that wrong. Okay, I
will not be saying any more jokes. I just got word that I'll be

(30:37):
demonetized if I say some more jokes. I won't be saying any more jokes.
I can identify any gay man Ilook at, and that's a fact
I am. I alone can identifya gay man. It's usually when I'm

(31:04):
burying my face in her. Oh. This episode definitely didn't make it today.

(31:25):
Oh, this episode didn't make ittoday. It's never gonna make it.
I love the movie forty two.It's Chadwick Boseman like you've never seen
him before. Hey, Ricon,let's get serious for a second here.
There's no wrong way to eat aresis, says the guy who didn't shove

(31:51):
a bunch of Reese's opposites. Norman, I've gotta get on with the show,
sir. I'm sorry. After all, I'm just the channeler. I
could say literally anything he forces meto say. He's channeling me. I

(32:12):
can't stop that. Okay, Okay, we gotta get back to the show.

(32:37):
If you were a Russian prostitute ona date with serial killer Andre Chicatelly
aka the Rostop Ripper, and hecouldn't achieve an erection, that was not
your lucky day. You know.Sometimes I hear people say that channeling a

(33:09):
spirit is a gift, But sometimeswhen I'm just trying to get on with
the show, I don't feel it'slike a gift. I feel it's like
a disability. Hey rycon Al Qaedaonline magazine Inspire has a recipe for a

(33:36):
homemade bomb. They also have arecipe for a pretty dark, good peach
cobbler. Ah. Hey, Fastand Furious seven opens up next week.

(34:09):
The cast is getting a little older. It's less Fast and furious, it's
more brisk and peeved. This showis going to fail. But this is

(34:44):
my disability, not yours. Iwill continue the channel. When he takes
over and walks in me, I'ma walking freezer. That's people say the
year. I'm a walking So ifyou're familiar with like a restaurant or something,
I am a walk in. That'swhat people told. Guy told me.
I'm gonna walk in because the spiritof Norm McDonald channels through me.

(35:04):
Whether it's my own joke or aNorm joke, it's it's really just a
spirited Norm that's untold. I'm awalking reason. Okay, moving on,
Let's get serious. Let's get seriousabout this. Wow, recon, Isn't

(35:30):
the news like really dark right now? The news is just so dark right
now? I miss I missed thegood old days when you could turn on
the news and see planes flying it. All right, never mind you Norman,
all right, that's enough. We'regonna move on here. Norm,
No matter what, I don't careif you're still in there trying to channel
through me. I won't say it. Let's move over to the South Pacific

(35:53):
to learn a little bit of warabout a World War Two Medal of Honor
recipient and recipient of many other awards. Someone I've never heard of, well,
I think I have actually in thepast, but also flew the P
thirty eight lightning like Lord Ludacris's grandfather. This is a photograph of him flying
apparently maybe I don't know if that'snot true. I'm not sure. The

(36:14):
tail numbers two, five seven,one nine three, I don't know.
Maybe it is, Maybe it doesn't. It seems like it's the claiming it
is. Nine nine three five ninetyseven is the name of on the front
of his plane, So I don'tthink this could be it. But anyways,
this guy had a flew around withhis best girl as was put his

(36:35):
best girl in the front of hisplane, and uh like literally this is
the one of the images of therestored model with Marge on the front.
If you don't know, the Pthirty eight with Marge on it. But
that was this pilot right here,we're talking about Dick Bong. Where's the
pictures? I here we go RichardBong knows Art a terrible walk them out

(37:07):
of the room joke on Twitter.I put up there what I'm to be
in reference of course the topic.But like this guy, I don't know.
This guy has got his why.It just it's just crazy to me
that the last thing people are seeinglike a Japanese fighter, it could be
looking out their window and seeing thisaircraft getting right up behind them, because
that's what P thirty eight's did.And you just see this face of this

(37:31):
woman and then you die. XAfan. This show will never die,
thank you very much. It mightnever die, but it certainly isn't going
to live truly like it probably shouldhave if I would be able to shut
my mouth once in a while.I'm glad to have you here, and
thank you for sporting ex stranger recoun. I appreciate that contribution and I'll make

(37:52):
light of it. Thank you forreal like I do, this corny kind
of reconsolte and I've been putting itup with it for like two years now,
a year and a half now tomonetize. So thank you very much.
I appreciate it. Just give youfive there, five salutes for the
Money Sports Show ten dollars is asignificant It's twenty twenty three, you know,
let's face the facts here. Twentytwenty four is predicted to be one

(38:14):
hell of an inflation year. Idon't see STRANGERCA being, you know,
being likely to be supportive to thebills in the future, but I will
try my ass off to remain through. Anyways, let's get into this guy
here, Richard Bong. Richard Bonga Medal of Honor recipient, as I
said earlier, and one handsome sonof a gun kind of I don't know.

(38:37):
It's got a little bit of Ilike to say what some would call
in the analytical face scan world ofneural divergent issues. He has a little
bit of a dragon face. Butso do I. What can we do?
I'm a hideous beast. Anyways,No, this handsome Bassard's right here.
Richard Bong was flying around the skiesin his P thirty eight and was

(38:57):
one kick ass pilot. Richard IraBong was born September twenty fourth, nineteen
twenty August sixth, nineteen forty fiveand was a United States Army Air Force
Major Medal of Honor recipient in WorldWar Two. He was one of the
most decorated American fighter pilots in thecountry's top flying ace in the war,

(39:19):
credited was shooting down forty Japanese aircraft, all with the Lockheed P thirty eight
Lightning Fighter that we were discussing yesterday. He died in California while testing a
Lockheed P eighty jet Fighter shortly beforethe war ended. Bong was inducted into
the National Aviation Hall of Fame innineteen eighty six and has several commemorative monuments

(39:45):
named in his honor around the world, including an airport, two bridges,
a theater, a veteran's historical centerand a recreation area, a neighborhood terrace,
and several avenues and streets, includingthe street leading to the National Museum
of the United States Air Force inDayton, Ohio. That's pretty slick,

(40:10):
although it sucks about that P eightyStarfighter crash because the Starfighter was one badass
aircraft and obviously it went through itstrials and trigerlations to get to where it
was before ultimately even you know,moving on to something else. But it's
a it's crazy just reading from abasic Internet findings about Bong, his early
life in nineteen twenty in Superior,Michigan, Wisconsin. I mean like I'm

(40:37):
tired of stuck up bodies of water. Get over yourself, Lake Superior.
The first of nine children born toKyle Bong and an immigrant with Sweden,
Doris Bryce was an American Scotch Englishdescent of American Scotch English descent name by

(40:58):
common nickname. He grew up ona farm and Poplar, Wisconsin, where
he became interested in aircraft at anearly age while watching planes fly over the
farm carrying mail for President Calvin Coolidge'ssummer white House and Superior. That is
pretty slick. Dorothy, who sportsthe show here and has been on the

(41:19):
show before. Of course, probablythis guy was probably at one point in
the same groups as her family.For God's sakes, they were flying experimental
you know, with experimental planes andand and the kind of the legacy of
all the pilots that were successful inWorld War One, and the and who
they were flying with when there werecivilians. And then the war popped off
and suddenly all these civilian pilots thatwere of age that were flying with these

(41:43):
World War One guys went off togo join the war. And when they
became of age. And you know, I wonder if Dorothy's family at some
point was flying around with this person, since he was flying in Wisconsin at
the same time as her grandfather.And if I apologize because my brain is
so clouded all the time and Ialways forget simple things. But I believe

(42:05):
Dorothy's grandfather or father. Maybe Iapologize Dorothy if I'm not saying this correctly.
And if you're in the chat andhear this eventually want to catch up.
Let me know. It has abuilding named after him, like the
Air Warfare Center on Nellis. Ibelieve. I'm not sure who I got
a could be a relative's friend.I'm so sorry. I keep forgetting that,
Dorothy. We've spoken about it onehundred times, and I always forget.

(42:31):
In the Air Forces the Army AirForces, Bong's ability as a fighter
was recognized while he was training innorthern California. He was commissioned as a
second lieutenant awarded his pilot wings onJanuary nineteen, nineteen forty two. His
first assignment was an instructor gunnery pilotat Lukefield, Arizona, from January to
May nineteen forty two. His firstoperational assignment was on May sixth to the

(42:55):
forty ninth Fighter Squadron in the fourteenthFighter Group at Hamilton Field, California,
where he learned to fly the twinAngelacke P thirty eight lightning on Janue.
On June twelfth, nineteen forty two, Bong flew very low, buzzed over
the house in nearby sand in Selamo. I don't want to say that name.
And I'm getting a super bad caseof the nine right now. Holy

(43:17):
nikes, that's great. The homeof the pilot had just been the home.
The home of the pilot had justbeen Uh, I'm sorry. On
June twelfth, nineteen forty two,Bong flew very low, buzzed over a
house and nearby sand and Encelmo andSalamo. I don't know how to say

(43:40):
the name of the place. Iapologize. If you live there, he
should change the name of your townbecause I'm dumb. In Camper, I
mean that, don't change it.Make it even harder pronounce. I'm an
idiot. The home of the pilotwho had just been married. He was
cited and temporarily grounded for breaking theflying rules, along with three other P
thirty eight pilots who had looped aroundthe Golden gate Bridge on the same day.

(44:00):
Dear mom, we have a sonnineteen ninety one book, but this
is that's from I'd like to seethis if possible. I'm gonna stop the
show, which we constantly do whenwe do this stuff. I apologize,
folks, give me one second here, as I researched these pilots flying around
the Golden gate Bridge, which wouldbe crazy if that's true. I've never

(44:21):
heard that. I'm sure it's true, though. These guys did whatever they
wanted sometimes after the war or towardsthe end of the war. A picture
of it, No, I don'tknow, all right, I'll look I'll

(44:45):
look into it in a little bit, a little bit later when we take
a break. I want to seethat specific mention though. All right,
we're back. Sorry about that atthe noise there. Hey Dorothy, Okay,

(45:07):
there we go. Dorothy hasn't inthe chat for folks there. But
this is another person from up inWisconsin flying around from before the war.
So that's kind of cool. Anduh as you know, as they just
said that he was, he's obviouslyflying before the war, and uh so
that it's very likely that these peopleto some degree knew each other, or
at least we're insolved involved with thesame clubs or organizations or landed at the

(45:29):
same airports. Let's go back upin here. It's gonna skim along here
real fast. Sorry, I don'twant to go into everything here. I'd
like you to, you know,I'd just like to inspire your curiosity a
little bit. And I know I'mabout to lose here because I'm over that
time now where at tension has droppedoff considerably for me too. Sorry,

(45:54):
folks, give me a onone secondhere, pull that out of the way.
You know, I oftentimes am seeingcriticizing some things pilots are saying on
Twitter today, and people have thensaid to me, like, why do
you like have entire episodes of yourshow about some fighter pilot if you like
have no respect for I'm like,first off, don't say that I have

(46:15):
no respect for no fight about thesake is like Alex Dietrich blocked me.
I asked Alex Dietrich, Hey,listen, why do you go buy a
different name suddenly when the UAP topiccomes up? And why oh why can't
you produce the evidence that you claimyou have and why for gosh jinks,
why why did if people say theyhave evidence, then no one's credibility needs

(46:35):
to come and play. You know. I like bringing up these stories,
these pilots and the courageous actions theydid in the wars they fought in because
you know, it changed u Itchanged things, and some would a lot
would say for the better. Andthough they didn't have life perfect and they
never will and no one ever will. You know, it does represent a
time that I feel it was,you know, soldiers and service members,

(47:00):
you know, pilots and whatnot,everyone could be actually proud of their actions.
You're not allowed to be proud ofyourselves today. You have to just
beat yourself up about Steph all thetime. That's what people want you to
think. And that's why they offerso much therapy instead of I mean,
I'm not saying that we don't needit, of course we do. Look
what just happened in Main And I'msaying that they literally is a do there's
like a do not put a stickeron your car mentality with the military today,

(47:21):
how safe is that suicidees at therate they're at and don't have pride
in anything, Just get back andlisten to some purple haired count in the
street as she says something horrible aboutwhat you are and what you've done or
something it makes no sense, yetthey have no idea. They read a
book by some other purple haired quef. Not if you have purple air out

(47:42):
there, I apologize that's You're probablynot one of the quefs I'm talking about,
or the coon's either. But it'stough to look at society today and
see how many veterans in the placesare they place they're at, and like
ask where you know what they thinkabout, you know, themselves and their
and their contributions to American interest orWestern interest, And they're just like think
I tell people, I ain't tellingpeople anything. Every time I bring it

(48:05):
up, someone will tell me howbad that awful it is. It's like,
dude, it's like Vietnam to someveterans. Still, this represents a
time where people actually walked around withtheir head. I mean, obviously there
was plenty of shell shock out there, but I'm saying that people actually walked
around and never took off the uniformsometimes too. How many veterans do you
see in the VA hospitals or outsideof the hospitals are going somewhere with a

(48:25):
hat on that literally says what warthey fought and which battles they fought on,
which ship they were on, whatplane they flew, what unit they
fought with. How many soldiers doyou see today they wear that? None?
And if they are, it's likethe same subdued American flag and they're
trying to look like some sort ofyou know one time Special Forces TV show

(48:46):
guy where everything, you know,they just walk around constantly in a state
of like wearing like half uniform,half like CIA operator looked like all the
time. It's like, we knowyou're not in the CIA. We know
you're not a operator some Special Forcesguy. You can't. You got at
some point you got to take offthe Meryl hiking boots. We all do.
I gotta pay right here. Butyou can't walk around in cargo pants

(49:09):
with Oakley's on and a mary subdueAmerican flag on your hat and to think
that you're in a beard on andthink that you know you're you're you're blending
in, You're not. You lookjust it's the modern day thing. It's
the opposite though, of having pride, and it's it's trying to kind of
like be a all a general kindof badass, rather than here's what I
did, Here's where I came from, Here's where my my friends died.

(49:32):
No, it's just whatever. SoI could rant about this all day and
night. Calm, thank you verymuch for for boring the show. Fake
Time comp. You have sported theshow multiple times in the past, and
I really appreciate that. Some flawfulsandwich money. You know what I was
thinking. I was actually thinking ofgetting a floff later. There's a new

(49:52):
place in town that doesn't it doesa good one. Does a good one
not too dry, you know whatI'm saying, but not too moist where
it's almost like it's mush. Obviously, these are my opinions, and I'm
an uneducated ass hat, so don'tlisten to me about anything. Don't take
my word for it, rather justchallenge me on it. But I still

(50:15):
have this weird feeling about it.I have this thing I look at like
the Marine Corps. I was nevera marine, never even worked, you
know. We went to the rangeroom a couple of marines sometimes when there
are in our posts, but otherthan that, I almost never worked.
I can't think of the time Iworked with Marines, if we did at
all, I don't think so.But I look at Marines today and I
think, what is one service thathas almost remained entirely prideful throughout their entire

(50:39):
existence? And you see the marinesticker or you see the marine you know
hat or the marine shirt on stillyears later, I mean it's still it's
weaned off a little bit, butthat type of thing almost doesn't exist for
some other branches. And I thinkit's I think it's something that's really fed
with this with the veteran's mind.I think it's like, I think it's

(50:59):
gone to the point where there isno place to go other than claim basically
getting down on your knees and beinglike, even though I didn't do all
these horrible things civilian says I did. I guess I gotta admit it to
myself and pretend I'm some sort ofbaby murdering, village burning jackass from like,
you know, two units in WorldWar Two. I'm in Vietnam anyways.

(51:21):
All right, Sorry, let's moveon, morning rants. This is
weekend update. I'm not allowed toI don't have to follow a script for
anything. You know that I'm allowedto do it if I want. You
can't get mad before Ricon, Let'sget back to this real fast, since

(51:42):
I was actually trying to say astory about someone before I veered off into
some sort of unrelatable non sequitor.As I said, the fourteenth Fighter Group
thet P thirty eight. The controversyis about buzzing and flying around, and
George C. Kenny reprimanded but alsocommended for his spirit when they reportedly flew

(52:04):
around the Golden gate Bridge. I'dlike to look into that a little bit
more. That seems cool, coolstory to tell. Operational assignments did not
deploy with his group to England dueto the grounding incident. That was smart
transferred to the eighty fourth Fighter Squadron, later to the Southwest south West Pacific
Area, assigned to the seventeenth FighterSquadron Provisional in the forty nine Fighter Group,

(52:30):
he helped transition from P forty Warhawkto P thirty eight Aericobra to P
thirty eight Lightnings, P thirty nineCobra air Cobra to the Aericbra. What
the hell is that? Have Inever heard of that? For the P
thirty nine Arara Cobra, the BellP thirty nine air Cobra. If you

(52:52):
were to think a guess what itlooked like, you'd probably be right,
except it just as far more levelon the runway. It doesn't take off
like a freaking a Cadillac going onthings. I'll show it to a little
bit here. Sorry about that.Once he was in the P thirty eight

(53:14):
temporary temporarily reassigned to the thirty ninthFighter Squadron in New Guinea, and that's
when they start seeing combat. Heavilyclaimed to it, claimed his first two
aerial victories on December twenty seventh,nineteen forty two, and rejoined the ninth
Fighter Squadron in January nineteen forty three. By July nineteen forty three, Bond

(53:35):
claimed four Japanese zeros and earned theDistinguished Service Cross and an uncountable number unknown
number of large Japanese aircraft were downedas well, but not seeing if they
crash. It's kind of how sometimeswars are fought. Sometimes you gotta get
going, Sometimes you gotta get toan objective. Sometimes you got to hit
a ground target. Sometimes you youknow what I mean, and maybe,

(53:57):
oh maybe you engage targets on themove and something looks like it's burning and
goes off, but you have noidea. Well, many of those people
attributed to other pilots that hey,Bong didn't get a confirmed kill with this,
but Bong sent like fifteen aircraft burningoff into the horizon, which would
lead a lot of these pilots toknow that you know, you only have
a certain amount of time. Ifyou see a plane burning and going lower

(54:19):
to the ground and not necessarily lookinglike it's crashing, it's the pilot looking
for a place to where this thing'sgoing to crash and burn up and in
a nice soft landing. We've watchedthat the words of those pilots right there
in San Diego Aaron Space Museum fromWorld War Two, claiming that they would
watch Germans get struck and try togo straight towards the ground, or Japanese
fighters get struck and try to gostraight for an island and find a place

(54:42):
where they know they're going to becrashing, but at least there'll be something,
and they would just keep hammering thembefore they get to the ground because
they and watch to confirm that theyactually blew up. If you will instead
of escaping, but earning the DistinguishService Cross. You have to understand that
is a big deal. You know, that's that's high up the god thing

(55:02):
ladder of awards now, you know, fight for awards type of mentality.
It's probably wasn't in the mind ofany of these folks, or maybe it
was since we're so different. Idon't know, because no one I know
was like, I'm gonna go outtoday and try to win something like that
on the you know, on amission or something. I never knew anyone
like that. But at the sametime, maybe back then, the very

(55:23):
idea of it was just, youknow, doing your job equal this.
So obviously you want to do yourjob well and you want to be known
for it. That thing dangling aroundhis neck right there is a significant award,
a significant medal there. You know, it pretty much gives him the
right to get into anything for therest of his life and anyone's respect ever,

(55:45):
everyone's respect forever if you're into it, including everyone that outranks him as
well. To be fair, butMarjorie Mattendale is the woman on the front
of his aircraft. The last thingmany Japanese people saw before they died,

(56:07):
and that's a pretty wild thought tothink a literal large like I should like
I was showing you a minute agoa large painting of his wife or his
quote best girl on the front ofthis aircraft. And that's the last thing
so many gunners or Japanese pilots sawon the way to their you know,
the shallowy grave oftentimes. And couldyou imagine that he named his p thirty

(56:39):
eight March and in her honor,surpassed Eddie Rickenbacker's World War One record of
shooting down His twenty sixth and twentyseventh Japanese aircraft became Americans Ace of Aces
with forty air to air victories andclaims by nineteen forty four. Alone.
Technique, sorry technique was known forgetting extremely close to the target, which

(57:04):
it's on camera, and that youcould be you know, I know a
lot of people would have a hardtime grasping that concept of just how radical
firing at something is at night,or firing at something is in the air,
or just shooting a gun in general. A lot of people I've been
trying a gun in their entire life, So if they have, it's been
in a very limited way, orif they have they suddenly turn around and

(57:27):
go, listen, I know aboutguns. Here's a picture of me shooting
a gun. Or they or theymake their their twitter something. They're there
the opposite of infantry, their oppositeof a combat job. They're op the
far off and away and their photowill be them with like a blank adapter,
or or them in basic training withlike some rifle that's been used eight

(57:50):
million times and it's just it's whateverit again, oh grumble, grumble.
Anyways, he would get extremely close, allowing to capture camera footage of course,
of these of these engagements, andyou know it's it's chaotic. These
these weapons systems aren't perfectly accurate beyonda certain distance, especially if you're moving

(58:13):
your aircraft. What was Lord Lucrossaying yesterday about engaging, leading the target
or whatnot? And you have,you know, you have a lot of
this on video, and I'll showyou video here in a second from the
San Diego Aaron Space Medium once againfrom Richard Bong himself an awarded the Medal
of Honor in December nineteen forty fourrecommendation by General Kenny himself sent home in

(58:36):
January nineteen forty five and married Vettendale, Marge, the one who named is
P thirty eight after and engaged ina bunch of PR activities because of his
Medal of Honor. Of course thatwe're you know, we're you know,
we're used to promote the war effortand of course by your war bonds.

(58:57):
And so that's pretty much where ourstory ends with him. Of course,
you know about the the aircraft testingof the the comment there where he lost
his life. Here is a yikes, here's a one minute video of that

(59:27):
San Diego. Aaron space Musam actuallyhas of the pilot and the Medal of
Honor recipient Richard Bong. I'd liketo play that for you now. It's
only one minute long. Thank youeveryone for the Sports Today show. There's
three super chats. You know,I've only gone an hour here. I
really appreciate that. This weekend update, I'm trying to I gave you some
jokes. I know it was timefor jokes, but I wanted to give

(59:50):
you guys a real thing and ratherthan just you know, kind of wasting
it time sometimes the weekend making justjust just bullshitting around, trying to give
you at least something to go homewith, you know, when I'm talking
about his death, it's you haveto bring it up because it is sad.
But he went home, he gotmarried. After the war, he
survived, and it seems like hislife was going to be, you know,

(01:00:15):
probably pretty cushiony to some degree,and he was going to end up
on Sandy Aaron Space Museum's website beinginterviewed as an old man. But he
continues to work for his nation tohelp produce, you know, one of
the better aircraft that were ever beingworked on at the time, of course,

(01:00:36):
and it was a you know,aircraft being developed in secret to some
degree, but this is one ofthe aircraft. I believe that they put
fake props on to bring it outonto the airfield to make it look like
it was a propeller plane, butit really was not. But Bong then
became a test pilot assigned to Lockheed'splant in Burbank, California, where he
flew the P eighty Shooting Star.When I say comment, I apologize Shooting

(01:00:58):
Star jet fighter at Lockeed's Air terminalon August sixth, nineteen forty five,
he took off to perform the acceptanceflight of P eighty Alpha four to four
dash eight five zero four eight.It was his twelfth fight flight of the
P eighty. He had a totalof four hours and fifteen minutes of flight
time in the jet you know ajet In nineteen forty five, the plane's

(01:01:22):
primary fuel pump malfunction during takeoff.Bong either forgot to switch to auxiliary fuel
pump or for some reason was unableto do so. According to Jaeger,
Chuck and Leo uh Yanos on autobiographyand page two two seven two two eight,
New York Bantam Books Publishing in nineteeneighty six put it out so Chuck

(01:01:45):
Yeger wrote that allegedly with Janos LeoLeo Yanos, I think his name was
his flight crew, the other peopletesting it, you know, Chuck Yeger
right broke the sound barrier. Famouspilot. Everyone respected him. He's out
there on Ando Aaron Space Museum aswell. You can watch his videos.
Bong ejected from the aircraft, butwas too high for his parachute to DEPLOYLL

(01:02:07):
I'm sorry, Jesus. The planecrashed into a narrow field in Oxford Street
at Satsum Satsuma Avenue nor North Hollywood, Oxford Street and Suma Avenue, North
Hollywood. Yikes, that's in themiddle of people everywhere jeepers. Yeah,

(01:02:35):
the Mystic Museum is not too faraway. Whatever that is. If you
live in this area, it's hisplane crash right near Club Cobra, Club
Cobra and Deep Blue Aquarium. Rightin between Club Cobra and Deep Blue Aquarium.

(01:02:55):
If you know the area, Idon't know it very well, but
it's out there, that is.His death was front page news across the
country, sharing space with the firstnews of the bombing of Hiroshima. The
I sixteen field pump had been addedto the P eighties after an earlier fatal

(01:03:20):
crash. Captain Ray Crawford had crashedand died because of the damn field pump.
A fellow pat test Acceptance flight pilotAugust sixth later said Bong he had
told him that he had forgotten toturn on the I sixteen pump on an
earlier flight, which caused the issue. Dear mom, so we have a
war nineteen ninety one book. I'mnot sure who wrote that, but I'll

(01:03:43):
look into it. In his autobiography, Chuck Yeger writes that part of this
culture of test flying at the timedue to its fearsome mortality rates. Anger
was anger towards pilots who died intest flights to avoid being overcome by sorrow
for the loss of comrades, sayingthey got angry at these guys because you
know. Bong's brother Carl, whowrote his biography, questions whether Bong repeated

(01:04:06):
the mistake so soon after mentioning itto another pilot. Carl's book. Carl's
book, who wrote Dear Mom,So we have a War nineteen ninety one,
contains numerous reports and findings from thecrash investigations his legacy. In the
mid nineteen fifties, the construction ofa new Air Force installation commenced southwest of

(01:04:28):
Milwaukee that was to be named theRichard I. Bong Air Force Base.
The base, intended to be anAir Defense Command fighter base for the Chicago
Milwaukee areas, was conceived in theearly nineteen fifties, with construction commencing in
the mid nineteen fifties. Construction hadbegun, but the base was transferred to

(01:04:48):
the Strategic Air Command as a prospectivebase for the supersonic B fifty eight Hustler
bomber. Prior to completion, thebase was considered obsolete as it had become
a parent the US Air Force officialsto the officials that the base would be
redundant with installations nearby that would soonhave space for more units. The base

(01:05:09):
was abandoned in nineteen fifty nine anddisposed of the following year. Air Force
the activates Squadron at Bong Base isin the Racine Journal Times December one,
nineteen fifty nine. Today, theformer base site is known as a Richard
Bong State Recreation Area. Maybe Dorothyone day can stand there, take pictures

(01:05:29):
of us and pictures of it,and take it and show us what it
looks like today, because it wasgoing to be a base dedicated to Richard
Bong. Now it's Richard Bong NaturePreserve essentially. I mean, it looks
like a big open park. Thebase intended to be an air defense command
and ended up being a park.Nevertheless, Richard Bong State Recreation Area obviously

(01:05:54):
retains the name and immortalizes the gentlemanwho deserved it. The base is not
to be confused with the planned renamingof Spokane Air Force Base, Washington as
Bong's Air Force Base, which wasplanned. The name of the facility until
General Mure Fairchild died on August onactive duty in nineteen fifty, cementing Fairchild

(01:06:15):
into the name Fairchild Air Force Base. So Bong got his name removed from
that one because Fairchild died during diedon active duty. Yikes Medal of Honor
Silver Star with one bronze leaf oakcluster, Air Medal with one bronze bronze

(01:06:39):
leaf oak cluster, Distinguished Service Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross with one silver oak
leaf cluster and one bronze oak leafcluster. Air Medal with two silver oak
leaf clusters and two bronze oakleaf clusters. American Campaign Medal, American Defense Service
Medal, World War Two Victory Medal, Philippine Liberation Medal, a bronze Star

(01:07:02):
from that campaign, the Asiatic PacificCampaign with a silver star, American Presidential
Unit Citation with bronze leaf oak clusteragain for a second one for his Philippine
Presidential Unit and Philippine Presidential Unit Citation. You know, on October tenth,

(01:07:30):
nineteen forty four, is when thisMedal of Honor ceremony began. It's it's
insane, you know, the actionsand the medals that went out in World
War Two. I wouldn't argue thatthese people, of course, I mean,
I don't know was it enough.Can we actually have a second and

(01:07:53):
think about, like what maybe lifewould have been like if our adversaries had
actually accomplished some of our goals.I know a lot of people now,
of course, can't look at anythingblack and white. If you look at
anything black and white, it makesyou simplistic and dumb. In twenty twenty
three, so everything has to behigh contrast. Everything asks by contrast.

(01:08:19):
You know, there's no black hatversus white hat. There's no good guy
versus bad guy in film or literatuor anything. So you can't look at
World War two and just think goodor bad. You have to think,
well, there's death involved and allthis stuff, and we can't you know,
you know, we are peaceful people, and that was barbaric. Except
if you actually do pay attention toactual anthropology of humanity, to today's historical

(01:08:44):
record, you will see that thereis basically never been a time when we
have been anything like that. That'san idealist thing, and unfortunately that's not
us. I would like it tobe us. If I was an idealist,
I would like to be us,but listen up with my friends and
weirdos. The story of Richard Bongis one of a few, but I'm

(01:09:05):
gonna try my butt off to makesure they're not forgotten. Of course,
we're gonna cover some ground stuff inthe future with some strange, weird things
out there. For the UFO sideof this of the story, Richard Bong,
as far as I know, hadnothing to do with anything any sightings
out there. But there are thoselike jan Aldrich and others who have done
the research and claim to that thereare connections with the Pacific Theater, you

(01:09:27):
know, sightings of things like Foofighter like stuff, and we can circle
back on those when we have someaccounts that cross paths with some of these
pilots we've covered. You can literallysay, who was the pilot the reported
that Holy Cow, we learned aboutthem. You probably say Cowabunga, we
learned about them on Stradricon. Butthat's it for now for that story that

(01:09:55):
it's rincon. I'm not asking youto agree with me at all about war
at all. I want you tohate war. I want you to hate
people dying. I want you tolove diplomacy. I want you to love
trying a million different things before anyonepicks up their you know, weapons and
starts to do whatever. But Ialso want you to keep in mind that

(01:10:19):
though you believe us to be somethingdifferent than every other beast on the planet
because we use technology, I wouldsuggest that you should really look at the
at what happens when even our ownpower goes unchecked, you know, And
you know, even though we canend up being later on written into the

(01:10:41):
story as being the bad guy,I'll never forget that every single every single
person I've ever met in this countryfrom another nation that came here from a
nation's pretty pretty low economy, alow economic speaking, economically speaking, and
on the scale and developing, andhow they look it up when we complained
about how awful and bad this countryis, they literally like dumbfounded. They're

(01:11:03):
like, do you understand what you'rewhat you're what you guys have built here?
Do you understand? But we're toobusy calling it how we see it
now, which is just this utter, pure disgusting wreck. It has problems.
So therefore it's a problem at atime where you guys can see so
much clarity on these topics and thereis no good or bad There's high contrast

(01:11:26):
that the the sheriff is never thegood guy. Even though the sheriff goes
and saves the town, well,he goes and gets drunk. Stupid old
drunk. We need a good guy. You're not a good guy, even
though you just saved us and keptus all free for years, you go
off and get drunk afterwards to dealwith your troubles. Therefore, you can't
be a good guy. Batman.Think of the story of Batman. For

(01:11:47):
the love of God. Can wejust get a hero back that just does
what they say they're gonna do.What is with all these stories that just
show the character as being some likelike, I know I want to do
good, but actually I love bunchand hookers in the face at night.
Can we just have one person againin one way we look at life again

(01:12:09):
being like, you know what,I'm satisfied that this actually took place,
even though the horrific things that happened, and I would like to learn from
that and never do it again.And said it's like no nothing good ever
came from confldict says the people comfortablysitting in a very well protected border and
almost never says the person that demandshelp when conflict is going on. I've

(01:12:32):
heard their cries, ladies and gents, boys and girls, cats and kittens,
the poochs and bound puppies. I'llbe right back. Were gonna take
quick break, and I'm gonna stoptalking about this stuff. Because this is
weekend update. We're not supposed tobe talking about weird, disgruntled stuff.
Let's have a little break music andwe'll come back. We'll come back,

(01:12:53):
time for some jokes again. Hopeyou learned a little bit about Richard Bond.
Please keep the memory alive. Goover to San Diego Aaron Space Museum.
Those videos. Oh, I didn'teven play the video yet. I
gotta play it out before I goto break. Duh, duh, My
bad. Here we go, Mybad. I forgot. We're gonna take
a break after this video. RichardBond from San Diego Aaron Space Museum.

(01:13:27):
We how close he is? Lookhow close that is? Dang there it
is before I was hanging around hisneck. It was pinned to his chest.

(01:14:08):
Boy, Oh boy, Richard IraBong. If I've inspired your careers,
to make sure you hit over toSandy Aaron Space Museum and watch these
videos. Okay, all right,Recon, I'll be right back. Don't
go anywhere. We're go and playsome music from our buddy Robin the UK.
Then we'll start playing some music.Comp you send me some good music.
I'll play some of that stuff forsure. I just have to put

(01:14:29):
it into something where I'm it's notgonna trip the YouTube thing, and I
will put it into something and sowe can use it. So thank you
for the break music. I appreciatethat. Man. All right, let's
get this going here. Sorry aboutthat. I'll be right back. Ricon,
don't go anywhere. Do some pushups, do some squats. Travis Taylor,
who was basically stepped out of thelimelight, tried to warn us.

(01:24:50):
the music over in the UK.Thank you Rob from Redstone Sparta for sharing
your music for so long. Iappreciate it. Rob. Thank you for
giving us some much much time topractice doing or jumping jackson our whatever you
guys call them over there in ourpushups and throw some shadow box. I
appreciate that we're trying to get readyfor them aliens. Norman huh oh oh,

(01:25:15):
hey guys recount. We're here toask the tough questions. We are
here to ask the tough questions,the toughest questions, like why is it
an adult toy always refers to somethingyou shove up your ass instead of like
a giant cool race car. Iprobably shouldn't have opened with that one.

(01:25:43):
Okay, thank you, Norman.Moving on, I hope everyone out there
is well in the world. Itis a nice kind of warm over day
in the Bridgewater trying. It's supposedto be. It supposed to be snowing
Monday. Here, it's supposed tobe snowing Monday. I'm justna be working
on a freaking roof and it's gonnabe snowing. Well, maybe it won't

(01:26:05):
be, I don't know, butright now it is warm. I'm going
out this afternoon, heading out toone of my recently found places in the
Bridgewater Triangle Areola, which is thenew name. If you're a newcomer,
that's the new name. It's notthe Bridgewater Triangle anymore. That's an old
name. It's now called the BridgewaterTriangle Areola. And I'm going out in
the Areola today. I'm gonna explorethe areola a lot. I will look

(01:26:29):
for ridges and valleys and peaks ofthe Areola and Bridgewater Paranormal Area. It's
gonna be a fun time. Iwill record as much video as I can.
I'm heading to the place where it'swhere I had that weird, strange
kind of like hypnotic like experience whilehunting, and I hope to go.
I don't know, see some weirdstuff, or I don't hear something cool,

(01:26:51):
or I get a video of agiant thing in a bigfoot suit.
Life in the Bridgewater Triangle Areola hasalways been an adventure. Anyways, Clicking

(01:27:14):
show is not free for me.It's free for you, So do my
master favorite. Help support the show. Click that like and subscribe, share

help and remember it's important. Itis important to at least help. Helping.

(01:27:40):
Support the show allows for you know, one simple thing. Let the
boy watch. And when you letthe boy watch, the show grows.
So let the boy watch. Thankyou. Let the boy watch. He
needs to learn the way I learnedfrom my father, the way he learned

(01:28:03):
from his spot. All right,enough for that, Ricon, give me
a massive favor. We need tobe inspired here. We need you to
send me information meta material, DNAin the mail. No no, no,
no, sorry not the last two. But we need you to send
me emails or whatever. Reach meout Twitter or on Discord. How's it

(01:28:28):
been on Dick Sword and send meideas for shows. Maybe you yourself have
been following a case that you've beenstudying quite hard for some years. Maybe
the people are still alive and youwant to go out there and investigate it
ricon. Maybe you have your ownideas and you need a point to leap
off from. You need me toplay a couple episodes, or maybe maybe
I'll go to and help film meas something, whatever it is. If

(01:28:49):
you have an idea that you'd liketo do that actually involves educating the public,
inspiring, not weaponizing curiosity, andof course does actually entertained to some
fair amount, probably might be neededthere. And if you have that and
you need help with it and youwant to get involved in some way,
I'd love to help. So anycase you wants that information, you want,

(01:29:11):
send me a message, some articleswhichever you want. If you want
to do a show on a certainthing, of course I need it.
We're going to bring back recom reports. I've got a couple lined up comps
one of them. Other people havesent their their paranormal like encounters with things
they can't understand and just want toshare their story. I'm preferring only cases
with multiple witnesses. That would begreat, But we can do whatever it

(01:29:34):
takes to help you out and getthose things off the ground. Whatever I
can do. Rather, I cando whatever it takes. Now. I
want to help you bring clarity andinspire curiosity on this topic. It's a
team effort and I want to help. That's all I'm saying. Email me
at strange recond at gmail dot com. Let me know about the books you're

(01:29:55):
writing, the movies you're working on, all that good stuff, and maybe,
just maybe my endless nonsensical reading atnight on this topic will can help
add some stuff to it. HOh my god. All right, my
friends and weirdos, it's time toget serious. This is a serious time
recon you know. Ricon Musk ismoving forward with his plan to bring people

(01:30:30):
to Mars. Some say he's anintervator. I say, the world's most
creative serial killer. Okay, movingon second one of the day. Hey,

(01:30:54):
you know what's surname? We don'thear a lot recon very much anymore.
You know what's the surname, thelast name that we don't hear a
lot much more anymore. It's muchmuch any more. It's strange. It's
like a flintstone no just as bad. Hey. Uh. The voice actor
who voiced Charlie Brown was arrested thisweek for stalking his ex wife. He

(01:31:20):
also said, if Lucy pulls thatfootball away one more time, he's gonna
cut that bitch. Young comics inNew York. Uh, I played a
I played a great club here inthe city. It's called Catch a Rising

(01:31:40):
Star Boy. It's a good club. But across the street they have a
tough one. It's called snub Abombing has been that's actually a George Miller.
George, Yeah, George Miller,dude, eighteen degree right now,
you're talking fahrenheit. What are youtalking? Alaska? That's right. It

(01:32:06):
is probably has a full season,doesn't it a full couple of seasons?
I wonder in the does it justlike a steep ledge drop off, you
just like suddenly out of nowhere,get extremely cold up there. I'm talking
to blank one in the chat rightnow, talking about it's eighteen degrees in
Alaska. It's so strange because it'sbeen so hot out here. It's October

(01:32:27):
and there's like summer birds chirping andstuff. It's weird, bees everywhere still
in it, but it's going tosnow on on on money. It's all
weird, like it doesn't happen ever, But it's just a it's a strained
sensation to be this late in theyear and have it'd be very hot.
And I suggest I put it tothe community of the Bridgewater Triangle AIOLA that

(01:32:48):
possibly we will see interesting plasma likeaction happening late seasons, maybe late to
faw seasons next summer, and thatmay mean a build up of earth gases
in combination with all Right, anyways, let's hope for something cool. I

(01:33:12):
put those show notes there for Richard. Oh you know, I thought I
was going to be rich. Youknow, I thought I was going to
be rich. It turns out doesnot much call for radish cider. When

(01:33:51):
you're single and trying to attract apartner. It's important to project the qualities
you desire, which I understand,but boy, oh boy, have I
had to suck a lot of thicklyOh shit, we're gonna not get any

(01:34:14):
money for this episode. That's allright, I appreciate it. Everyone's contributed
to today show. Oh Norman,all right, we gotta move on here.
Yesterday I had a picture frames andnow it's doing time for Upstate Robbert.
Oh okay, now now it's duedime Upstate for armed robbery. That's
not that great. Okay, We'redone with this. We gotta stop this.
This is over. Norm. You'redone channeling. I'm chanting. I'm

(01:34:40):
done channeling. Norm. I've lostall your attention and now we're down near
two hours into the show. ForChrist's sakes, what a ridiculous thing.
What have we got going in theUFO world remains to be seen. Let's
get over to the Twitter side,the twitter x as I've been referring to

(01:35:00):
what I'm copyrighting that twit X.That's me on twitter X. What do
we got tuit X? I needto address some of these weird things being
claimed out there telling people that whenothers like Lou and Melon and Kirkpatrick mentioned

(01:35:31):
that the Chinese have possibly reached somesort of capability when it comes to conscience
or or you know, quote unquotesentient like a uas and things like that,
you know, and they've surpassed usin certain avenues of that type of
an application of that type of stuff, non human intelligence on the battlefield without

(01:35:55):
a specific planned route, without GPS, waypoints, point put in, without
hitting a stationary target, and likeliterally the ability to go out and map
itself on its own. We've playedplenty of videos from vault on here or
this is it, yeah, vaultshield shield swarm, shield AI swarm and
how you know there are American companiesworking on that as well. But it's

(01:36:20):
it's one thing to recognize that thereis in fact advantages and disadvantages and some
of these, you know, avenuesof research you have though the inability.
You don't have the authority, Youshouldn't do it, and if anyone starts
doing it, you should question itwhen they say suddenly out of nowhere that

(01:36:43):
the oh wait a second, ifthe Chinese and the Russians have their own
reverse engineering programs, they themselves mayhave made breakthroughs, which is true,
must mean that maybe some of thesemore fantastical Fazza flight or actually that of

(01:37:11):
the Chinese and Russian as well asalien Hmm. That seems like the most
slithery snake like bull crab. I'veheard in a long time personally you and
I've seen people say, who's sayingthat? I don't think you're looking hard

(01:37:33):
enough. I barely skimmed the surfaceand am seeing multiple people, including those
who are like closest with the storyof the disclosure story in these groups,
saying things along the lines of maybethe Chinese and mushroms. I'm that sound
a little too Liverpool. I can'tdo an accent like that. But you

(01:37:54):
know the idea that there is anactual answer, but the answer still has
to rely on alien technology being reverengineered. It's just not at a you
know, a secret base. It'snot out a secret S four, it's
not out of a hangar in right, Patterson. This whole time we've been
looking forward. It wasn't here withus at all. Why the greatest airplane

(01:38:15):
in the world was flowing created bythe Chinese, but they created it based
on gifted technology. Final, I'llgive you an out, maybe even crash
technology. That's the only two options. There's nothing else. I am a
popular hardcore researcher in UFO town.That way, that thing I just said,

(01:38:39):
somehow matters it means something, exceptwhen you look harder, you see
it's not at all like they're pitchingit now. They're not pitching a story
that makes any sense. This isa contradiction, and it's a ad hoc
like slithery like reason to get outof it and retell your story, retell
this big theory in a way tostill put it on aliens, but admit

(01:39:03):
to the public, oh crap,maybe the Chinese and Russians are working on
stuff. And it's not the Chineseand Russians are working on anything that's doing
what they're claiming or what alleged alienspacecraft can do. It's that the context
of the stories that they've been toldare not as they actually were. So

(01:39:23):
now they have to figure out away to make Chinese spies using drones and
balloons with hypersonic missiles on them.Hypersonic drones on them makes sense. And
it's sad. It's a sad,sad thing. Although I do like that
you're actually mentioning China in the conversationnow, even though all of your favorite
narrative leaders like Lueluzando, Chris Mellan, all these people all mentioned China at

(01:39:45):
the end of all their long rants. They make sure to say after they
tell you that if you spread yourcheeks every night, no matter what,
you can't get that muddy footprint out, what does it again? Or if
you can lock your door every nightbut you can't get that muney footprint out
of your house. We don't knowwhat it is. It's an us unstoppable
force. Can't be monitored, can'tbe controlled, can't be stopped. Can

(01:40:09):
probe you a stock, you hauntyou, chase you. Whatever it is,
it can be done. The onething's for sure. We may want
to wrap up a few loose endsin China and Russia just to make sure
it's not that it's called bullshit.You see, I'm one of these weirdos

(01:40:36):
who can't ever be accepted by theskeptic community because I will refuse to believe
that my sightings were simply some sortof neurological break that I shared with other
people and they witnessed as well.That makes no effing sense. Just like
the black triangle flanging on the sky. I'm not saying it's aliens. It
could be American technology somehow or something. Maybe it's even a verse engineer in
American technology, but there are afew experiences in my life that will never

(01:40:57):
allow me to truly think that everythingis explained in the world and everything that
we're seeing all of the time isthe simplest answer. It just is the
vast majority of the time, somuch so that it seems nearly impossible for
any of the things any of usexperience to be anything rather remarkable than something
we've just misidentified. But I'm gonnasay there's people like me out there still.
I've heard the stories. I don'tdisbelieve them, but I do stand

(01:41:20):
and disbelieve my own sighting because Idon't believe things are as they appear.
I just don't. And therefore whateverI saw represent something else, not literally,
like it's like some sort of philosophything, but like, however we
interpreted what we saw. We sawsomething that couldn't have happened, so therefore
it didn't happen. We saw somethingelse. I just have to figure out

(01:41:40):
what that was. And I'm notputting all my chips on this. It's
all prosaic because what we saw wasimpossible, so I just impossible as we
know the world. I have fullbelief that one day we will be able
to scramble solid state objects and youknow, basically walk right through something.

(01:42:00):
First we'll be able to do it, but we destroy the wall with like
a non conventional system, like basicallyvibrations and sound and directed energy, and
then we'll figure it away to basicallyreseal the wall, but it's never gonna
look the same. It's gonna beall messed up in that spot. And
then one day the humans will figureout, in two hundred years or three
hundred and fifty years from now,how to literally go right through something and

(01:42:23):
open it up with cosmic rays utilizedand directed by a piece of technology in
order to guide them right through solidstate objects of solid objects and allow these
things to carry with them the informationyou needed to pass away through the wall
and then reorganize it. That's myjust personal belief. Anyways, I'm trying

(01:42:45):
to fill in to two hours here, folks, if you can't tell,
I'm trying. But I don't believethat these folks represent the true experiencer.
And I don't want to give myselfa pat on the back because I say
I stand in disbelief in my ownsightings. But as the word experiencer goes
as obnoxious as that is. Maybe, just maybe we have to consider that

(01:43:09):
a percentage of the people did seesomething shared experience that was rather remarkable.
Is not in the low information zone, was not recorded, was not chaste,
was not whatever. It's just somesimple thing that we heard a story
one time and that was it,and there is some truth to it,
which is obviously not going to getus anywhere. Having said that, it
doesn't make the skeptical argument entirely valid. It just says that there's far more

(01:43:33):
likely that you're experiencing something very prosaic, you've misidentified it, or it's something
that you haven't found yet in themedical literature that you experience and you're just
assuming, because you haven't found iteasy enough, that it's something rather remarkable,
using a lack of evidence as evidence. But you can't do. But
I will say the world has neverbeen explained. That's a ridiculous concept.
Every single day, we have thousandsof people that contribute to adding to the

(01:43:56):
world we live in. Even ifthis is some sort of holographic universe,
that's what they do. We don'tknow what the world is. We literally
spend all of our time looking intoit, deducing it and trying to make
it into a sentence or understandable enoughto ingest. So wouldn't there be other
possible things in there? Wouldn't therebe other possible entities in there? Wouldn't
there be other forms of life thatwe cannot even relate to, that only

(01:44:18):
are visible through some sort of youknow, something that we can see like
a chemical illuminescence or bioluminescence feature oftheir of their of their being, without
going into some sort of crazy consciousnessmode, without going into some sort of
crazy other dimensional mode or cryptid outputoff statement, cryptic how put offs?

(01:44:39):
Then how about just like we seethat there's plenty of things every every time
we go to the botto on theocean, every time we take a scoop
of what exists in the upper atmosphere, every time we take little critters out
to space, or use some sortof biomining technique to fabricate some sort of
extremophiles, uh, you know,capabilities and attributes and apply them to our

(01:45:00):
own life. Like we we learnnew things, especially about life other life,
every single day right here on planetEarth. I have my suspicions that
that's not going to take place elsewherein the world. It almost seems like
I'm not saying that they're a wrenchwielding octopi out there, but I'm saying,
for love of God, we spendevery single day discovering new forms of

(01:45:21):
life, evolved forms of life,forms of life that seemingly are disappearing,
but only re emerging, the readaptedto the new environment far to the north
where their species used to live ina different We find it all the time.
We find new life all the time, the virgin We find all types
of similarities on one planet, onone side of the planet to the other,
never touched, never whatever, Butyet there they remain. I have

(01:45:43):
my suspicions that maybe our empirical viewof how the world works right now is
just that those that think that theadvent of science an advent of understanding believe
they themselves know it. All.That seems almost absurd, but maybe it's
true. Maybe it's not. Wouldn'tit make far more sense if there was
an alien species out there, orother animals out there that we have never

(01:46:05):
You can't put a frame like think, use your head. Try to think
of an undiscovered animal before without thinkingof something that looks like something you've seen
before good Luck the Brave came uponhim. He had the head of a
serpent, the body of a bear, and the scales of a fish.

(01:46:28):
He was trapped beneath the sticks andasked the brave to be freed. The
brave was scared at first, butI agree, no, I remember the
stories. There is all types ofthings of you know, like animals and
descriptions of organisms that people came intoand they tried their best to describe it
as it was seen. And Ihave my doubts that we truly understand all

(01:46:53):
of it, We've got it all. Why do I have my doubts because
every single day I can go tophizz org or other websites and look at
contributions to medical, scientific and engineeringliterature, which shows revelations come by the
hour in many numbers. Some true, some are true for now, but

(01:47:18):
I would bet on the world beingfar more mysterious as are as we understand
it. There's also arguments too,by the way anthropology wize of like you
know, we see the world likeyou know. I'm sure a lot of
you looked into Donald Hoffman and histheories about space, time and all that
stuff being gone and how we interpretthe world how we interact with it.

(01:47:38):
But also like we have lived ina you know, a time where it's
our biggest threat is ourselves for solong, and we'll continue to do so.
That will change not everything about us, but think of the same amount

(01:47:58):
of generations of humans that have everexisted. Think about those humans living now
where basically there's like no real Imean obviously if you live in some some
Siberian island or something, or northernCanada or something, but we have no
other threats about ourselves. The naturalworld is rather predictable, obviously, not
all of it, but we're gonnaget better at that and be safer.
But ultimately speaking like you know,one of our biggest threats is ourselves.

(01:48:21):
What will that do for human evolutionwhen we don't have the same characteristics?
Is the species that once had toyou know, stand up as tall as
possible to make sure there's no grassruffling around in front of them, or
puff their hair up real big whenthey got you know, around something that
scared them or made the noises thatwe make today. I don't know,

(01:48:41):
am I there yet? God?Damn twelve more minutes. This has taken
forever. God, I'm stalling talkingabout nothing right now, this is ridiculous.
Smoking a jib at the fest againwhile drinking beers with my homies.

(01:49:04):
Oh the world, this sucks.I know what they you know what Einstein
said. Einstein said, you couldtake a math test and it feels forever,
but you could sit next to Fabioand it feels like one second.
I can't remember. Okay, enoughof that. Got the crap recilling,
Grow up idiots. I think that'sit. We're not gonna make it in

(01:49:30):
two hours. I'm not gonna wasteyour time. Thanks for hanging out with
me today, Ricon, I reallyappreciate it. I'm starting to sweat,
and it's because I have nothing whatto talk about. I'm trying to stretch
it out. What an embarrassing assI am. Ladies and gents, boys
and girls, cats and kittens andpoochers and pump up is. Do me
a massive favorite that like subscribes,share the show, click the links if
I've inspired your curiosity, and remember, go watch a Norm McDonald video.
Don't take offense to anything he's saying. He loved everyone. He just wants

(01:49:50):
to make fun and poke jokes atthe absurdities of life. Not that the
things are absurd that he's joking about, but the way they're construed and constructed,
of course are No one should betaken offense or anything I'm saying or
Norm was saying or whatever. Andwhen I play as videos whatever, I
don't know why people act like thatwhen they discover Norm had jokes with whateveryone,
not just one subject. Also,please do your part and helping fight

(01:50:16):
the misinformation. I'm not saying gocounter and be a contrarian to everything.
But if you see something that isdrastically wrong, if you see a podcast
host that has like thirty thousand subscribersforty thousands, and they go on some
huge other mainstream podcasts like some comediansshow or something, and they just emit

(01:50:36):
all of the details from the oldercases because they either a never looked into
them or two their purpose of leavingout so they sound more legit, and
they try to make it so allthis material stuff from ufology is connected to
their consciousness like stuff. And theygo on these shows and basically omit the
truth and just admit the admit theadmit the truth. And then of course

(01:51:15):
you have yourselves, you have youknow this this misrepresentation, and some would
say, well, to be fair, at least at least they'll bring new
people into the field and then theycan see what's bull crapping out for themselves.
But that that's okay to say that, but you have to also understand
that there is a better way youcan just you don't have to start off
of misinformation the first thing. Thesepeople they don't need a dose in my

(01:51:41):
opinion, they don't need a doseof of of being like, here's you
being fooled first, hope you learnedyour lesson. Now here's the real way,
or here's the real story. Theydon't really need that first. So
when I see uh, when Isee uh, like people go on these
large platforms and I thinking, well, maybe this person will give true and

(01:52:03):
honest representation, and they just getup there and they're like, blah blah
blah, how put offs My heroEric Davis is my hero. They've never
manipulated anyone, It's great, blahblah blah, and they say all this.
They just regurgitate the same misinformation.That is, I'm not saying there's
no evidence to some of the thingsthey talk about. I'm saying the people

(01:52:23):
are not the narrative, Can weshed the skin? That is the liars
and manipulators that are decades old,that have their hands in so many things
that are sound so mysterious for solong, and then you find out that's
not what they're there for at all. Then you find out that they're working
on the product that is being tested. Then you find out that all along

(01:52:45):
they had their hands in something else, or they were getting paid to tell
the story. They're not a journalist, they were an advocate. Why must
these people continue on to survive ineufology? Obviously they have the most potent
workout there. Hunt for the Skinwalkeris one of my favorite books of all
time. Yet we know, weknow the truth of it. Skinwalkers are
the pentagon, these things that controlthe narrative today by these people. They've

(01:53:10):
got, they got, They haveeveryone just talking shit and saying things that
make no sense. Oh, that'sa crypto extraterrestrial academica object, non conventional
Like, where did you get that? Well, it's a well known term,
we all use it. Where didyou say it? Who did you
get from? Well? I gotit from an L. Ron Hubbard book,
Ladies, Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Cats and kittens, I gotta

(01:53:32):
get out of here, Lada Gen'sboys and girls. Do me mass favor,
hit that like and subscribe. Remember, of course, what you just
said is one of the most insanelyidiotic things I have ever heard. At
no point in your rambling, incoherentresponse were you even close to anything that
could be considered a rational thought.Everyone in this room is now dumber for

(01:53:57):
having listened to it. Of mercyon your soul. XA fans won't be
able to until GOV is transparent republicand educates the facts and evidence. So
what if no one ever trusts thegovernment? Though if you do not believe
their answers, they'll never trust noone will ever trust them. So what
happens then companies will do it?But what if the companies are occupied by

(01:54:19):
people that formally work for the government. Well, that didn't work. What
if we find out later on thatmost of the things they've ever pointed to?
Because I'll give it, there's mysteryout there. I've had so many
weird experiences that I couldn't debunk thatI thought it started thinking I had,
you know, things going on,until many other people are around me and
being like, what the hell youknow? Like, so, I had
the suspicion suddenly that I was nolonger seeing them by myself. And I

(01:54:43):
think there's things to be explained yetto be explained in the world. But
when it comes to the government storybehind it, the only people telling that
story have profited. They already left, and they went to the bank,
they sold their books, their lectures. It's kind of stranger that that's same
people actually were paid for and boughtby the military or by our government to

(01:55:08):
look into these things to some degree, and now they proudly say they wouldn't
even tell the truth about even ifthey were put under oath. In Congress,
we everyone in this field, noteveryone, of course, but it
seems the vast majority of folks outthere rely on the words of people that
were no different than those we don'ttrust today. And why their names are

(01:55:30):
so attached to the graves, thefravrs, and the grushes of today.
That's the most confusing part, becausewe've already established that they've kind of ripped
everyone else off. Remember the timehow put Off ripped off Brandon Feugel.
Yet Brandon Feugel and friends will literallyrepeat word for words something how put Off
is said it doesn't make much senseto me why these folks still have the

(01:55:50):
narrative. I believe there's an unexplainablemystery out there that has nothing to do
with what these weirdos have said.That's just my belief. Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't know. Well, saymoney controls the truth is a good
point, and I'm not trying tobe confrontational there, but I want to
be clear. Lockheed Martin, Bae, Boeing, or aytheon Ga systems from

(01:56:13):
what you call it, Genero Dynamics, all of these people all together don't
have as much money as a singlefart that comes out of Google or Apple
or some sort of electronics software companythat runs the world. All of the
military complex companies in the world togetherdon't have as much money as Google.
So when we like to say thatthere's this narrative that the military complex runs

(01:56:35):
the world, they own everything,because we could point back to speeches from
Eisenhower and others, there may besome truth to that, especially when it
comes to global conflict. Right,we can all agree there's something suspicious about
how wars start when there could beplenty of time for diplomacy. But one
thing is for sure, the narrativethat they own the world and they have
these technologies and we'reever going any truthabout it is really only supported by a

(01:56:57):
handful of people that have made themost amount of money off the topic.
Other than that, like Google couldbuy these companies in a blink of an
eye if they felt there was somesort of secret. Like that's the thing,
Like it's really hard to make peopleunderstand why why that I that that
storyline that was pitched so so longago doesn't even hold true today because it
because those organizations like petroleum companies andthe people that make the weapons that use

(01:57:20):
petroleum or the aircraft's use throwing,they don't even run the world. They're
off the top twenty list big time. And just to show you real quick,
here is a chart anyone can lookat at any time and see that
screenshots here, that big oil,I'm sorry, that the military complex and

(01:57:41):
comparison to Google. We'll just useLockheed as an example in this case.
Let's look at this together. Thisis this is Lockheed Martins growth chart in
their total valuation for their organization sincetwo thousand and nine to today. And
and look what we have here.Upwards of one hundred and twenty billions of

(01:58:04):
dollars Lockheed Martin one hundred and twenty. That's Lockheed Martin. Let's just look
at Google now on their own becauseGoogle owns the information. So the story
of someone having technology that can controlthe world and that's why they're so powerful
is That's not what you're saying.I'm sure, but I just mean like
that, that's the general, youknow, core secret of disclosure. The

(01:58:29):
core secret that is believed is thatthere is this world dominating like proprietary technology
that isn't fair and needs to getout, and these people are dominating the
market with it. Well, hereis Google's evaluation to twenty ten R nine,
remember the one twenty that Lockheed barelymade it to. If information controls

(01:59:09):
the world, boy oh boy,we got trouble. And because these these
these organizations could literally buy everything.One of the things I tried to focus
on it Stranger Recond about six monthsago, was to show that that old
kind of like greer storyline that thislike petroleum has got the grips on everything.
One can argue that when it comesto the technology about to fly over

(01:59:30):
battlefield, but then you have toreally look at look back at who runs
the world now, who makes allthe best weapons. It's not Yeah,
Nuka is a good weapon, butyou have to understand that information warfare.
Whoever has the information rules the world. Money controls the truth, and who
owns the money the person who hasthe information boom, you have yourself.

(01:59:50):
We can no longer point towards thethe the military industrial complexes being this grand
evil organization that is has a gripon us. It is mutual equity firms
and software big time. It's scarystuff, ladies, bois and girls.
I gotta get out of here peaceand love. I'm just some jackass.

(02:00:11):
I don't know anything. I dosuggest you challenge men everything I say,
and I'd love to chat about itfor real. I just don't like getting
ah. I have hard time controllingsome parts of my mind. So when
I get extremely confrontational people that arejust quoting misinformation and don't even understand there's
a story before they get in there, like ahy, And that's what happens

(02:00:32):
a lot to me in Twitter spaceand things like that. I sound like
an asshole. I don't mean tobe, but I do am like I
do think, like, how cananyone suggest there's a core secret that is
the military complex has this technology,and they're this dominant, invisible evil entity.
I'm like Apple could come along andcrush all of them overnight if they
wanted to. And Apple's just somecompany. Ladies know, bois and girls,

(02:00:56):
I love you all. I'm goingto be so confrontational, you know,
I gotta get out of here takingthe peace of love. Give me
a massive favor. Keep it weird, keep your thread. I feel.
Look for things how they actually areversus how they appear to be. Recon
you know the deal, Hey riecoon, I'm I was playing hide and

(02:02:15):
go seek with my friend the otherday and he said, if you find
me, I'll let you have sexwith me. I'll be behind the couch.
