26 00:01:22,570 --> 00:01:20,659 might be a few things here that I 27 00:01:24,550 --> 00:01:22,580 actually take a bit of an issue with 28 00:01:27,069 --> 00:01:24,560 comparatively you might just do that 29 00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:27,079 we're going to be on the lookout for all 30 00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:28,880 sorts of things but including or 31 00:01:33,910 --> 00:01:31,249 especially i should say people making 32 00:01:36,489 --> 00:01:33,920 outrageous claims so we're looking for 33 00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:36,499 people claiming to be able to say cure 34 00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:39,109 cancer or especially especially that but 35 00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:40,880 all sorts of other claims we'll see how 36 00:01:45,069 --> 00:01:43,609 we go but I'm sure our listeners would 37 00:01:46,690 --> 00:01:45,079 also like to know what's coming up on 38 00:01:50,260 --> 00:01:46,700 this week's show and on this week's show 39 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:50,270 yes it's the it's another report by Jojo 40 00:01:57,550 --> 00:01:52,610 you're going to be reporting on Kim 41 00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,560 I am indeed we tend to treat chemtrails 42 00:02:02,080 --> 00:01:58,880 that's a bit of a punchline to a joke 43 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:02,090 sometimes but there was a bit of time so 44 00:02:06,070 --> 00:02:04,250 yeah I'm looking into them this week we 45 00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:06,080 see some over Sydney from time to time 46 00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:08,000 not so many I must admit but when I used 47 00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:09,560 to live in Germany many years ago the 48 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:11,480 skies I remember looking up seeing the 49 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:13,970 skies full of these these trails which 50 00:02:17,950 --> 00:02:15,770 we call condensation trails of course 51 00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:17,960 which are more popularly known i guess 52 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:20,959 as chemtrail so Joe looking forward to 53 00:02:25,990 --> 00:02:23,810 your report and we have that Maynard 54 00:02:28,780 --> 00:02:26,000 spooky action and once again Maynard is 55 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:28,790 reporting from the a similar event to 56 00:02:32,410 -->

00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:38,450 Maynard to discover why he does why his 60 00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:40,310 approach is so softly softly and why he 61 00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:42,230 likes the chapter people and why he 62 00:02:46,660 --> 00:02:43,790 doesn't confront them and I think 63 00:02:48,910 --> 00:02:46,670 listeners might appreciate the 64 00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:48,920 he doesn't do that and I can't think 65 00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:51,680 Jody but what else could be coming up in 66 00:02:55,839 --> 00:02:53,540 this week's show you use your psychic 67 00:02:57,970 --> 00:02:55,849 power I

listeners as to what we've 79 00:03:27,460 --> 00:03:25,940 discovered and how we're going and then 80 00:03:31,090 --> 00:03:27,470 we'll do a wrap-up at the end of the 81 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:31,100 show this sounds fantastic I hope so I 82 00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:36,250 am looking for to it while we finish our 83 00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:41,360 flat white and our latte which are going 84 00:03:45,370 --> 00:03:43,100 down very well at the moment and let me 85 00:04:05,300 --> 00:03:45,380 wait for a run Olivia will let our 86 00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:08,949 what we want is some more evidence piece 87 00:04:16,889 --> 00:04:24,010 hello this is Joe alabaster 88 00:04:31,180 --> 00:04:28,510 chemtrail conspiracy theory I am utterly 89 00:04:33,309 --> 00:04:31,190 guilty of treating chemtrails as a bit 90 00:04:35,050 --> 00:04:33,319 of a joke taking photographs of 91 00:04:37,779 --> 00:04:35,060 contrails and posting them with faux 92 00:04:40,689 --> 00:04:37,789 alarmist captions setting up a satirical 93 00:04:43,270 --> 00:04:40,699 procam trail Facebook page many of my 94 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,280 skeptical friends do this to retreat 95 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:45,199 chemtrails as punch lines in bad jokes 96 00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:47,330 and banter about conspiracy theorists 97 00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:49,460 and bizarre beliefs they're up there 98 00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:51,520 with reptilians and the Illuminati 99 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:54,800 however today I'm going to take a few 100 00:04:59,589 --> 00:04:57,050 moments to approach the subject a little 101 00:05:01,559 --> 00:04:59,599 more seriously what is the conspiracy 102 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:01,569 theory about what are its ramifications 103 00:05:05,770 --> 00:05:03,770 and what is the simple and 104 00:05:08,939 --> 00:05:05,780 evidence-based explanation for the white 105 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:08,949 trails across the sky left by aircraft 106 00:05:13,270 --> 00:05:11,120 consistent with the bizarro world I'm 107 00:05:18,129 --> 00:05:13,280 reporting from today last thing first 108 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:18,139 what are contrails contrails a 109 00:05:23,379 --> 00:05:20,930 portmanteau of condensation and trail 110 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:23,389 are the white streaks left behind plans 111 00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:26,530 given favorable atmospheric conditions 112 00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,360 aircraft fuel is composed primarily of 113 00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:31,759 hydrocarbons this give off carbon 114 00:05:36,459 --> 00:05:33,889 dioxide and water vapor as their main 115 00:05:38,559 --> 00:05:36,469 combustion products when these hot 116 00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:38,569 exhaust gases mixed with rarified cool 117 00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:41,120 air the water in the gas freezes quickly 118 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:43,120 and forms microscopic ice crystals 119 00:05:49,260 --> 00:05:46,130 leaving trails of white haze similar in 120 00:05:51,550 --> 00:05:49,270 look and chemical composition to a cloud 121 00:05:53,740 --> 00:05:51,560 dependent on the condensation in the 122 00:05:56,350 --> 00:05:53,750 atmosphere contrails may dissipate 123 00:05:58,300 --> 00:05:56,360 quickly or linger the atmospheric 124 00:06:00,129 --> 00:05:58,310 conditions which support cirrus cloud 125 00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:00,139 formation and the very moist atmosphere 126 00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:02,870 the results can allow contrails to 127 00:06:08,019 --> 00:06:06,080 persist for hours for a more in-depth 128 00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:08,029 explanation of control formation and 129 00:06:12,730 --> 00:06:10,430 persistence nasara have an excellent 130 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:12,740 site devoted to the topic the contrail 131 00:06:21,070 --> 00:06:15,759 education project which can be found at 132 00:06:25,870 --> 00:06:21,080 science dash edu dot larc dot nasa.gov 133 00:06:27,249 --> 00:06:25,880 slash contrail dash edu contrails have 134 00:06:30,339 --> 00:06:27,259 been around for as long as modern 135 00:06:32,409 --> 00:06:30,349 aviation has but in the mid-1990s the 136 00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:32,419 chemtrail conspiracy theory began to 137 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:35,870 develop and spread the chem trail cam 138 00:06:39,709 --> 00:06:37,289 trailer being a portmanteau 139 00:06:42,409 --> 00:06:39,719 chemical and trail conspiracy theory 140 00:06:44,209 --> 00:06:42,419 takes many forms but generally it's a 141 00:06:46,369 --> 00:06:44,219 belief that an authority biet 142 00:06:49,159 --> 00:06:46,379 governmental military scientific or 143 00:06:50,959 --> 00:06:49,169 other and yes the Illuminati Zionists 144 00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:50,969 elite and reptilians or get a look in 145 00:06:55,429 --> 00:06:53,969 here are using aircraft often commercial 146 00:06:57,859 --> 00:06:55,439 aviation aircraft for greater 147 00:07:01,850 --> 00:06:57,869 concealment sometimes military aircraft 148 00:07:03,739 --> 00:07:01,860 to conduct spraying of our skies the 149 00:07:06,109 --> 00:07:03,749 composition of the chemicals varies with 150 00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:06,119 different clams aluminium barium 151 00:07:10,699 --> 00:07:08,089 strontium and silver feature highly 152 00:07:13,129 --> 00:07:10,709 occasionally biological agents are said 153 00:07:15,709 --> 00:07:13,139 to be involved the purpose of the 154 00:07:17,719 --> 00:07:15,719 spraying varies widely also the most 155 00:07:20,179 --> 00:07:17,729 popular belief seems to be that it's the 156 00:07:22,249 --> 00:07:20,189 facilitation of a geoengineering project 157 00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:22,259 to alter weather reflect the sun's rays 158 00:07:26,689 --> 00:07:25,289 or combat climate change other theories 159 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:26,699 include spraying to control the 160 00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:29,330 population cause illness control minds 161 00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:32,849 vaccinate people without consent some 162 00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:34,649 claim that chemtrail spraying is a form 163 00:07:39,859 --> 00:07:37,800 of military weapons testing some 164 00:07:42,070 --> 00:07:39,869 chemtrail conspiracy theorists produce 165 00:07:44,540 --> 00:07:42,080 images of commercial passenger aircraft 166 00:07:46,850 --> 00:07:44,550 containing large connected barrels in 167 00:07:48,709 --> 00:07:46,860 place of seats as evidence that the 168 00:07:50,899 --> 00:07:48,719 aviation industry is involved in the 169 00:07:52,850 --> 00:07:50,909 spraying of chemicals claiming that 170 00:07:55,969 --> 00:07:52,860 these are an aerosol dispersion system 171 00:07:57,949 --> 00:07:55,979 in fact they're full of water they are 172 00:07:59,989 --> 00:07:57,959 used by airlines to simulate the weight 173 00:08:01,759 --> 00:07:59,999 of passengers and cargo to test 174 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:01,769 different centers of gravity while the 175 00:08:06,889 --> 00:08:04,800 aircraft is in flight as with 176 00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:06,899 explanations of how contrails are formed 177 00:08:11,059 --> 00:08:09,180 however the explanation of the purpose 178 00:08:13,129 --> 00:08:11,069 of the ballast barrels are often 179 00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:13,139 countered with claims of cover-ups and 180 00:08:18,589 --> 00:08:15,449 disinformation by those invested in chem 181 00:08:20,929 --> 00:08:18,599 trail conspiracy theories this is often 182 00:08:23,119 --> 00:08:20,939 a trouble with conspiracy theories any 183 00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:23,129 debunking or rational explanation for 184 00:08:27,739 --> 00:08:25,409 phenomena is met by the true believer 185 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:27,749 with distrust and often an expansion of 186 00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:29,490 the original theory to account for new 187 00:08:34,909 --> 00:08:32,159 information it can be an interesting 188 00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:34,919 exercise to create a theory then expand 189 00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,870 it to incorporate further conspiracies 190 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:38,880 as information counter to the theory is 191 00:08:44,089 --> 00:08:42,000 encountered in order to compile this 192 00:08:46,220 --> 00:08:44,099 report I set myself done to watch 193 00:08:48,410 --> 00:08:46,230 documentaries produced by chemtrail 194 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:48,420 believers why in the world are they 195 00:08:51,730 --> 00:08:50,490 spraying and what in the world are they 196 00:08:54,380 --> 00:08:51,740 spraying 197 00:08:56,330 --> 00:08:54,390 dear listens I've made it through 198 00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:56,340 documentaries on Deepak Chopra I've 199 00:09:01,520 --> 00:08:58,770 heard the stories of 911 truthers 200 00:09:03,140 --> 00:09:01,530 watched anti-vaccination propaganda I've 201 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:03,150 gotten through the entirety of Charlene 202 00:09:07,850 --> 00:09:04,650 weren't explaining the physics behind 203 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:07,860 how homeopathy works I've sung belong to 204 00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:09,810 Mike Adams wraps through our GMOs in the 205 00:09:14,330 --> 00:09:12,300 flu vaccination heck I've watched all 206 00:09:16,430 --> 00:09:14,340 the plan 9 from outer space and vampiros 207 00:09:19,340 --> 00:09:16,440 lesvos I think I've got a fairly high 208 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:19,350 tolerance for painful viewing I spent 209 00:09:22,970 --> 00:09:20,970 yesterday walking around the mind-body 210 00:09:26,090 --> 00:09:22,980 wallet first of all I can generally cope 211 00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:26,100 with wacky ideas and claims that the 212 00:09:32,510 --> 00:09:29,870 chemtrail documentaries he had me beat I 213 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:32,520 got through perhaps half an hour of Gish 214 00:09:36,650 --> 00:09:34,050 galloping before I just couldn't take it 215 00:09:39,490 --> 00:09:36,660 anymore so many claims with such flimsy 216 00:09:42,260 --> 00:09:39,500 evidence where any was provided at all 217 00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:42,270 both documentaries are on YouTube and if 218 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:43,920 you can make it through even one I 219 00:09:49,790 --> 00:09:48,210 salute you one thing I'll know a scene 220 00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:49,800 in one of the documentary is showed a 221 00:09:53,630 --> 00:09:52,110 man walking about some bushland pointing 222 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:53,640 out trees which were dead or not 223 00:09:58,250 --> 00:09:55,650 thriving attributed their state to 224 00:10:00,200 --> 00:09:58,260 chemtrail spraying while I'm more 225 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:00,210 familiar with rural Australia that I am 226 00:10:04,250 --> 00:10:02,250 with the u.s. there evidence of 227 00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:04,260 chemtrails looked very much consistent 228 00:10:09,290 --> 00:10:06,030 to me with the effects of the country 229 00:10:11,060 --> 00:10:09,300 undergoing drought conditions people 230 00:10:13,010 --> 00:10:11,070 interviewed on the documentary also 231 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:13,020 attributed weather conditions consistent 232 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:14,370 with what we've been experiencing 233 00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:16,170 worldwide over the past few years to 234 00:10:20,540 --> 00:10:18,600 chemtrail spraying and they claimed that 235 00:10:22,190 --> 00:10:20,550 geoengineering was taking place in an 236 00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:22,200 effort from the military and government 237 00:10:26,810 --> 00:10:24,240 to reflect the sun's rays and reduce 238 00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:26,820 warming which all makes me wonder what 239 00:10:33,410 --> 00:10:28,620 the documentary makers position on 240 00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:33,420 anthropomorphic climate changes so aside 241 00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:35,460 from exposing your faithful reporter 242 00:10:39,410 --> 00:10:37,200 just an incredibly difficult viewing 243 00:10:42,410 --> 00:10:39,420 what's the harm in believing in chem 244 00:10:44,090 --> 00:10:42,420 trail conspiracy theories overall it can 245 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:44,100 seem like a bit of relatively harmless 246 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:47,370 kookiness all things considered anti 247 00:10:51,860 --> 00:10:49,170 chem trail activists are surprisingly 248 00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:51,870 active invisible affixing Corps flute 249 00:10:55,970 --> 00:10:53,880 science trees and sign posts across 250 00:10:57,890 --> 00:10:55,980 their neighborhoods holding protests 251 00:10:59,860 --> 00:10:57,900 against geoengineering and chemtrails 252 00:11:02,660 --> 00:10:59,870 spraying in cities across Australia 253 00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:02,670 writing letters and petitioning MPs and 254 00:11:06,170 --> 00:11:04,740 one anti chem trail active 255 00:11:08,690 --> 00:11:06,180 actually made it into the South 256 00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:08,700 Australian Parliament while I 257 00:11:13,220 --> 00:11:10,649 wholeheartedly support people becoming 258 00:11:15,740 --> 00:11:13,230 involved in political activism in this 259 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:15,750 case I suspect that the resources MPs 260 00:11:19,490 --> 00:11:17,610 and police put towards responding to the 261 00:11:23,060 --> 00:11:19,500 chemtrail activists could be put to some 262 00:11:25,730 --> 00:11:23,070 better use the largest local chemtrail 263 00:11:27,650 --> 00:11:25,740 conspiracy group on facebook Australia 264 00:11:32,389 --> 00:11:27,660 and New Zealand against chemtrails and 265 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:32,399 geoengineering boasts 8027 members which 266 00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:34,410 is roughly a hundred and fifty more than 267 00:11:38,540 --> 00:11:36,360 the anti-vaccination campaigners the 268 00:11:41,210 --> 00:11:38,550 Australian vaccination skeptics network 269 00:11:43,010 --> 00:11:41,220 currently have and he chemtrail 270 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:43,020 activists are visible and spreading 271 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:47,250 their message two years ago an article 272 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:49,410 ran in the Australian reporting on 273 00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:51,810 threats made by anti chemtrail activists 274 00:11:56,510 --> 00:11:53,940 to harm pilots and shoot down commercial 275 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:56,520 aircraft saving that these threats were 276 00:12:01,550 --> 00:11:58,410 becoming more overt prevalent and 277 00:12:03,290 --> 00:12:01,560 alarming Australian Federal Police have 278 00:12:05,510 --> 00:12:03,300 monitored anti chemtrail activists 279 00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:05,520 planning to intercept airline pilots at 280 00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:08,070 sydney airport again more police 281 00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:11,040 resources while pilots in particular and 282 00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:13,649 aviation companies in general experience 283 00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:17,279 concern for their safety those are a few 284 00:12:21,230 --> 00:12:19,260 points demonstrating anti chemtrail 285 00:12:24,740 --> 00:12:21,240 activism is effect on the general public 286 00:12:26,269 --> 00:12:24,750 but what about the believers I don't 287 00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:26,279 imagine that it feels wonderful to hold 288 00:12:29,870 --> 00:12:28,079 the belief that the government and all 289 00:12:32,269 --> 00:12:29,880 the aviation industry and or the 290 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:32,279 Illuminati are out there wielding power 291 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:34,410 and spraying the skies and causing harm 292 00:12:39,290 --> 00:12:37,170 to the population similar to 293 00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:39,300 anti-vaccination conspiracy theorists 294 00:12:42,829 --> 00:12:40,800 who believe that the medical 295 00:12:44,780 --> 00:12:42,839 establishment and government and we're 296 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:44,790 talking doctors nurses researchers 297 00:12:49,850 --> 00:12:47,010 pharmaceutical companies mp's public 298 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:49,860 health officials and journalists are all 299 00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:53,130 out to harm them Andy Cantrell activists 300 00:12:57,470 --> 00:12:54,570 subscribe to a rather far-reaching 301 00:13:00,260 --> 00:12:57,480 conspiracy the government the military 302 00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:00,270 at the aviation industry from CEOs to 303 00:13:04,310 --> 00:13:02,760 baggage handlers aeronautical engineers 304 00:13:06,010 --> 00:13:04,320 involved in designing assembling 305 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:06,020 maintaining and repairing aircraft 306 00:13:10,579 --> 00:13:08,370 everybody employed by an airport 307 00:13:12,139 --> 00:13:10,589 everybody involved in manufacturing and 308 00:13:14,780 --> 00:13:12,149 transporting the chemicals that they 309 00:13:17,569 --> 00:13:14,790 allege are being sprayed then perhaps 310 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:17,579 emergency services workers in case of 311 00:13:19,690 --> 00:13:18,050 plane 312 00:13:21,310 --> 00:13:19,700 surely they'd need to know how to cover 313 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:21,320 up evidence of chemical tanks and 314 00:13:25,690 --> 00:13:23,810 spraying that's a heck of a lot of 315 00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:25,700 people who need to be working at keeping 316 00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:27,649 a substantially large secret don't you 317 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:30,529 think therefore that's the heck of a lot 318 00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:31,730 of people who are willing to sacrifice 319 00:13:36,220 --> 00:13:33,920 the health of the general population in 320 00:13:39,069 --> 00:13:36,230 order to carry out some grand master 321 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:39,079 plan now this is a point that really 322 00:13:42,970 --> 00:13:40,370 gets me when it comes to those who 323 00:13:44,710 --> 00:13:42,980 subscribe to these theories the huge 324 00:13:47,769 --> 00:13:44,720 number of people that they must believe 325 00:13:49,389 --> 00:13:47,779 that even malicious or stupid it seems 326 00:13:53,790 --> 00:13:49,399 such a bleak view to hold of your fellow 327 00:13:56,019 --> 00:13:53,800 humans that and there's a general worry 328 00:13:58,410 --> 00:13:56,029 imagine watching the skies with fear 329 00:14:00,730 --> 00:13:58,420 genuinely worrying for your health 330 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:00,740 people are afraid of something for which 331 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:02,810 there's no credible evidence and while 332 00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:04,610 this happens often I suppose and it's 333 00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:06,230 easy to get sidetracked as to who is 334 00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:09,110 responsible the chemtrail conspiracy 335 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:12,800 theory does cause fear occasionally that 336 00:14:17,860 --> 00:14:14,930 fear leads people to wear masks or 337 00:14:19,690 --> 00:14:17,870 scarves over their faces or spend time 338 00:14:21,819 --> 00:14:19,700 spraying vinegar in the air around them 339 00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:21,829 which allegedly dissipates or 340 00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:24,399 neutralizers come to our chemicals 341 00:14:27,910 --> 00:14:26,510 others turn to buying products 342 00:14:30,340 --> 00:14:27,920 specifically designed to provide 343 00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:30,350 protection orgonite devices and 344 00:14:36,250 --> 00:14:33,350 solutions to be ingested homeopathic or 345 00:14:39,130 --> 00:14:36,260 otherwise in extreme cases people 346 00:14:42,449 --> 00:14:39,140 relocate to so-called safe zones where 347 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:42,459 aircraft has said not to be spraying 348 00:14:46,630 --> 00:14:44,450 while we might find the belief 349 00:14:48,550 --> 00:14:46,640 irrational people do generally believe 350 00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:48,560 it nonetheless and the concern and 351 00:14:54,190 --> 00:14:50,600 agitation generated by this belief is 352 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:54,200 real finally there's the tendency of 353 00:14:58,449 --> 00:14:55,850 people who believe in one conspiracy 354 00:14:59,920 --> 00:14:58,459 theory to be open to others and there 355 00:15:01,600 --> 00:14:59,930 are others which caused more direct 356 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:01,610 immeasurable harm to individuals and 357 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:04,690 society such as anti-vaccine spira sees 358 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:07,250 it's difficult to make decisions which 359 00:15:10,870 --> 00:15:09,290 will lead to positive social health and 360 00:15:12,370 --> 00:15:10,880 well-being outcomes for yourself and 361 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:12,380 your loved ones if you have a strong 362 00:15:18,460 --> 00:15:14,690 distrust in scientific consensus and all 363 00:15:21,579 --> 00:15:18,470 authority and yes I did mention social 364 00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:21,589 outcomes while I do my utmost not to 365 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:24,110 ridicule individuals in fact I have some 366 00:15:28,269 --> 00:15:25,850 sympathy for people living with the fear 367 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:28,279 of what's in our skies I do still think 368 00:15:31,540 --> 00:15:30,050 that chemtrails are one of the wackier 369 00:15:34,329 --> 00:15:31,550 and more far-fetched can spear 370 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:34,339 see theories out there and I can't see 371 00:16:01,060 -->

Larry Marshall for the 480 00:21:08,290 --> 00:21:06,799 Australian skeptics prestigious bent 481 00:21:09,910 --> 00:21:08,300 spoon award 482 00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:09,920 the perpetrator of the most preposterous 483 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:11,840 piece of paranormal or pseudo scientific 484 00:21:16,900 --> 00:21:15,050 people it was recently reported that dr. 485 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:16,910 Marshall is promoting the quote 486 00:21:21,970 --> 00:21:19,370 technology and quote of divining or 487 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:21,980 dowsing for water as a solution to 488 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:24,530 Australia's drought problems he claims 489 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:27,650 that he has quote seen people do it with 490 00:21:33,220 --> 00:21:29,450 close to eighty percent accuracy end 491 00:21:37,660 --> 00:21:33,230 quote but has quote no idea how they do 492 00:21:40,030 --> 00:21:37,670 it end quote and that the road CSIRO can 493 00:21:41,940 --> 00:21:40,040 push the envelope with such projects and 494 00:21:44,740 --> 00:21:41,950 contribute to improving agricultural 495 00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:44,750 productivity end quote perhaps dr. 496 00:21:49,330 --> 00:21:47,510 Marshall is unaware of the Australian 497 00:21:52,630 --> 00:21:49,340 skeptics prize of one hundred thousand 498 00:21:55,630 --> 00:21:52,640 dollars for anyone successfully locating 499 00:21:58,120 --> 00:21:55,640 underground water by divining or dowsing 500 00:22:00,490 --> 00:21:58,130 with a consistent success rate above 501 00:22:03,370 --> 00:22:00,500 that of random chance with recent 502 00:22:06,010 --> 00:22:03,380 funding cuts the CSIRO could certainly 503 00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:06,020 do with the extra money well that's a 504 00:22:11,020 --> 00:22:07,760 brief overview of this year's nominees 505 00:22:14,110 --> 00:22:11,030 for the Australian skeptics bent spoon 506 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:14,120 priors bent spoon Award for more 507 00:22:38,950 --> 00:22:19,330 information visit www or just google 508 00:22:44,180 --> 00:22:41,870 welcome to Weekend science from RI oz 509 00:22:46,430 --> 00:22:44,190 bringing you the science you need to 510 00:22:48,350 --> 00:22:46,440 know you may have heard about 3d 511 00:22:50,420 --> 00:22:48,360 printing the technology that allows you 512 00:22:52,850 --> 00:22:50,430 to make almost anything so long as you 513 00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:52,860 can designer on a computer but get ready 514 00:23:00,710 --> 00:22:54,750 today we are talking about the next big 515 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:00,720 advance 4d printing 3d printing is 516 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:03,450 pretty amazing as we said you can print 517 00:23:08,110 --> 00:23:05,610 out almost any shape you can think of as 518 00:23:11,030 --> 00:23:08,120 long as you can designer on a computer a 519 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:11,040 printer prints out either metal plastic 520 00:23:15,710 --> 00:23:13,290 or many other substances into 521 00:23:18,950 --> 00:23:15,720 three-dimensional shapes by laying layer 522 00:23:21,050 --> 00:23:18,960 upon layer however one limitation is 523 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:21,060 that you still need to assemble 3d 524 00:23:25,670 --> 00:23:23,250 printed parts into a more complex 525 00:23:28,190 --> 00:23:25,680 structure what if we said the next big 526 00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:28,200 development called 4d printing was to 527 00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:30,480 create shapes that can actually assemble 528 00:23:34,220 --> 00:23:32,070 themselves into their final three 529 00:23:36,230 --> 00:23:34,230 dimensional structure that's what 530 00:23:38,540 --> 00:23:36,240 researchers are working on now to create 531 00:23:41,060 --> 00:23:38,550 principle materials and structures which 532 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:41,070 when activated fold themselves into a 533 00:23:46,820 --> 00:23:43,290 predetermined shape this activation 534 00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:46,830 could be water electricity heat really 535 00:23:53,390 --> 00:23:50,940 anything these structures are made by 536 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:53,400 combining plastic and smart memory 537 00:23:57,070 --> 00:23:55,050 material which can morph into different 538 00:23:59,120 --> 00:23:57,080 shapes one of the most obvious 539 00:24:01,490 --> 00:23:59,130 applications of this is to create 540 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:01,500 structures which are flat or small so 541 00:24:05,390 --> 00:24:03,450 they can be shipped easily and then be 542 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:05,400 activated into their functional shape 543 00:24:10,490 --> 00:24:08,250 once on location could this be the end 544 00:24:13,670 --> 00:24:10,500 of trying to assemble fiddly flat-pack 545 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:13,680 furniture man I hope so objects could 546 00:24:16,730 --> 00:24:15,450 also be made which have a different 547 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:16,740 structure in different conditions 548 00:24:21,530 --> 00:24:19,050 meaning one object could have several 549 00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:21,540 different uses structures could also 550 00:24:25,820 --> 00:24:23,760 react to their surroundings to change 551 00:24:29,180 --> 00:24:25,830 shape and optimize their effectiveness 552 00:24:33,009 --> 00:24:29,190 how cool is that and now here's four 553 00:24:35,749 --> 00:24:33,019 fast facts about 40 printing 554 00:24:38,659 --> 00:24:35,759 4d printing was revealed to the world in 555 00:24:41,419 --> 00:24:38,669 a TED talk by MIT researchers Skylar 556 00:24:43,310 --> 00:24:41,429 Tibbits we recommend checking it out the 557 00:24:45,230 --> 00:24:43,320 shapes that the structures convert into 558 00:24:48,139 --> 00:24:45,240 are determined during the design stage 559 00:24:50,539 --> 00:24:48,149 so every step of the conversion from one 560 00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:50,549 shape to the other is controllable one 561 00:24:54,470 --> 00:24:52,289 of the other interesting applications 562 00:24:56,810 --> 00:24:54,480 for this technology is medicine where 563 00:24:58,820 --> 00:24:56,820 molecules can react and transform into 564 00:25:01,249 --> 00:24:58,830 functional types when they reach a 565 00:25:02,989 --> 00:25:01,259 particular part of the body and one of 566 00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:02,999 the largest self-folding structures 567 00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:05,340 we've seen is this 50-foot long strand 568 00:25:10,009 --> 00:25:07,440 but this technology will be scaled up 569 00:25:12,409 --> 00:25:10,019 even further in the future want to find 570 00:25:19,070 --> 00:25:12,419 out more about 4d printing check out our 571 00:25:21,139 --> 00:25:19,080 website w WR i ASO GA you where we have 572 00:25:24,289 --> 00:25:21,149 some links you can also follow us on 573 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:24,299 twitter at ra oz and like us on facebook 574 00:25:45,090 --> 00:25:48,440 what 575 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:50,549 well it's about halfway through our 576 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:52,330 meanderings here at mind-body wallet 577 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:53,890 first of all I'm whether answer give 578 00:25:58,500 --> 00:25:57,010 relief to Dean and Joe alabasta friends 579 00:26:00,180 --> 00:25:58,510 what an interesting experience it is 580 00:26:02,790 --> 00:26:00,190 alethea I don't think you've been to one 581 00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:02,800 like this before no my very 1st and a 582 00:26:07,620 --> 00:26:05,440 big difference from the paranormal and 583 00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:07,630 spiritual and expo which we went to a 584 00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:10,720 couple of weeks ago big difference bid 585 00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:14,950 is a lot more a lot more a lot fancier a 586 00:26:25,230 --> 00:26:20,110 lot flusher so yeah everything's set up 587 00:26:26,990 --> 00:26:25,240 a bit more upscale and yeah the range of 588 00:26:29,490 --> 00:26:27,000 things are certainly more impressive 589 00:26:31,890 --> 00:26:29,500 everything everything from things we 590 00:26:35,130 --> 00:26:31,900 were actually getting quite excited like 591 00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:35,140 the chai tea oh the teasing teen I'm 592 00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:36,910 wear some jeans girl welcome to you 593 00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:39,040 every Iran I don't think you've been to 594 00:26:42,419 --> 00:26:40,960 one for a little while you sir yeah well 595 00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:42,429 I haven't been for a little while but 596 00:26:45,630 --> 00:26:43,630 the funny thing was that the first time 597 00:26:50,270 --> 00:26:45,640 that we actually walked into that's the 598 00:26:55,470 --> 00:26:50,280 guy with the was selling these plastic 599 00:26:57,540 --> 00:26:55,480 placemats energized that energized water 600 00:27:02,040 --> 00:26:57,550 yeah it's just somebody I remember from 601 00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:02,050 from one several years ago at a darling 602 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,510 harbour and the reason I remembered him 603 00:27:08,340 --> 00:27:06,640 he took a while for it to come back to 604 00:27:12,330 --> 00:27:08,350 me but the reason I remembered him was 605 00:27:15,450 --> 00:27:12,340 because the excuses he made for why it 606 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:15,460 cannot be tested and the the end his 607 00:27:21,330 --> 00:27:17,890 answers to how this might be tested for 608 00:27:22,620 --> 00:27:21,340 example he just feels it that that's 609 00:27:24,570 --> 00:27:22,630 what brought it back I then remembered 610 00:27:28,020 --> 00:27:24,580 some additional details but he was it 611 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:28,030 was interesting to see how he basically 612 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:31,330 his explanation le he actually had a 613 00:27:37,140 --> 00:27:35,410 very good summary of his explanation of 614 00:27:39,150 --> 00:27:37,150 white cannot be test wipe double-blind 615 00:27:39,450 --> 00:27:39,160 is he said above my intentionally too 616 00:27:43,919 --> 00:27:39,460 bad 617 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:43,929 for initially we thought he meant only 618 00:27:49,169 --> 00:27:47,890 for his stuff but now it just apparently 619 00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:49,179 everybody knows now that black 620 00:27:53,100 --> 00:27:50,799 double-blind testing is the wrong way to 621 00:27:56,070 --> 00:27:53,110 listings because it takes away all the 622 00:27:58,649 --> 00:27:56,080 emotional stuff all the emotional 623 00:28:01,169 --> 00:27:58,659 healing that would yeah yeah so it 624 00:28:02,940 --> 00:28:01,179 basically removes bias and we don't want 625 00:28:06,750 --> 00:28:02,950 that no no we don't want that because 626 00:28:08,909 --> 00:28:06,760 then we might not pass the test hmm so 627 00:28:10,470 --> 00:28:08,919 it was very it was very interesting Joe 628 00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:10,480 I think this is your first time at one 629 00:28:14,389 --> 00:28:12,159 of these two isn't it this is my first 630 00:28:17,010 --> 00:28:14,399 time it's been fantastic actually I 631 00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:17,020 sincerely recommend it to anybody who's 632 00:28:25,110 --> 00:28:20,159 curious about those things you look so 633 00:28:29,220 --> 00:28:25,120 disingenuous not sure I mean it was but 634 00:28:32,730 --> 00:28:29,230 she is looking really pained I'd be a 635 00:28:34,260 --> 00:28:32,740 really really terrible cold Riga no I'm 636 00:28:36,210 --> 00:28:34,270 actually having a very interesting time 637 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:36,220 it's it's a little bit overwhelming 638 00:28:40,649 --> 00:28:38,890 frankly the scale of this and the number 639 00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:40,659 of people with different claims 640 00:28:46,110 --> 00:28:43,289 different things they want to sell us 641 00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:46,120 predominantly be them be their ideas or 642 00:28:49,710 --> 00:28:47,710 actual products and there are a lot of 643 00:28:51,450 --> 00:28:49,720 products for sale here a lot of products 644 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:51,460 for sale is there interesting how we've 645 00:28:55,289 --> 00:28:53,890 all had a go and asking questions the 646 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:55,299 greatest question you can ask is how 647 00:28:58,860 --> 00:28:56,890 does it work and take it from there and 648 00:29:00,779 --> 00:28:58,870 it doesn't take long before they don't 649 00:29:02,639 --> 00:29:00,789 know what the same they have no idea and 650 00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:02,649 one of the things that were actually 651 00:29:07,110 --> 00:29:04,419 we've seen them at several sense today 652 00:29:09,210 --> 00:29:07,120 were the the earphones the basically 653 00:29:11,010 --> 00:29:09,220 just head it's a basically headphones 654 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:11,020 here it's a it's definitely that I 655 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:12,250 haven't seen this before but there were 656 00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:14,890 at least 33 stands here that we saw we 657 00:29:20,610 --> 00:29:16,510 saw it they had basically what it is 658 00:29:23,250 --> 00:29:20,620 it's they have headphones on and they 659 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:23,260 somehow scan your body through these 660 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:24,850 headphones and and on the computer 661 00:29:29,710 --> 00:29:27,890 screen up pops a great graphic of your 662 00:29:31,870 --> 00:29:29,720 organs yes little spots on them saying 663 00:29:35,230 --> 00:29:31,880 here's what's wrong with yes so but so 664 00:29:37,690 --> 00:29:35,240 the question I asked was about how okay 665 00:29:40,390 --> 00:29:37,700 so I understand that how sound can be 666 00:29:44,140 --> 00:29:40,400 generated from headphones that's well 667 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:44,150 established technology if but and I ask 668 00:29:48,100 --> 00:29:45,290 something that's a little bit of a trick 669 00:29:49,890 --> 00:29:48,110 question asked how do you how do you get 670 00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:49,900 the feedback how do you how do you know 671 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:53,270 what comes back because they say how do 672 00:29:56,710 --> 00:29:55,010 you go how you capturing that were using 673 00:29:59,770 --> 00:29:56,720 what mechanism using to capture the 674 00:30:01,000 --> 00:29:59,780 response the body's response now the 675 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:01,010 reason it's a bit of a trick question is 676 00:30:04,930 --> 00:30:03,410 because anybody with half an idea about 677 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:04,940 how to fly this technology works know is 678 00:30:09,430 --> 00:30:07,610 that headphones can actually be used as 679 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:09,440 a microphone yeah if connected to the 680 00:30:15,220 --> 00:30:13,130 right yeah right input so but they have 681 00:30:17,950 --> 00:30:15,230 no idea it's not connected to anything 682 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:17,960 that would be able to detect you'd have 683 00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:19,850 to agree with me those claims that they 684 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:21,710 were making work outrageously oh yeah 685 00:30:26,260 --> 00:30:24,890 absolutely but I think that's kind of it 686 00:30:28,180 --> 00:30:26,270 as some types of people I've seen today 687 00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:28,190 hmm those are the only counts of people 688 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:30,800 have seen Stadium he died the acid 689 00:30:37,390 --> 00:30:34,970 alkaline guy Oh today but could detect 690 00:30:38,980 --> 00:30:37,400 what was wrong with him something was 691 00:30:40,660 --> 00:30:38,990 wrong with the region of your body to 692 00:30:42,730 --> 00:30:40,670 your place of the water didn't we we can 693 00:30:45,130 --> 00:30:42,740 see a wooden dowel I'm water and he was 694 00:30:46,990 --> 00:30:45,140 very careful actually and your sweat 695 00:30:49,570 --> 00:30:47,000 restless which is very careful to say 696 00:30:51,940 --> 00:30:49,580 that no he cannot diagnose cancer which 697 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:51,950 is probably very wise of humorous I mean 698 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:54,650 by the idea where that was depending on 699 00:30:58,690 --> 00:30:56,450 the taste of the alkaline water to the 700 00:31:00,610 --> 00:30:58,700 individual it would indicate what was 701 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:00,620 that something was wrong with a specific 702 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:04,610 part of your body so well I got a chunky 703 00:31:09,490 --> 00:31:07,010 taste which means that something is up 704 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:09,500 with my bow that's right same thing how 705 00:31:13,330 --> 00:31:11,090 you forgot about your reproductive organ 706 00:31:15,550 --> 00:31:13,340 yes I also tasted something a bit fishy 707 00:31:18,190 --> 00:31:15,560 which could either be my kidneys or my 708 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:18,200 reproductive organs organ the baby was 709 00:31:29,370 --> 00:31:26,340 no that was my liver something's wrong 710 00:31:31,620 --> 00:31:29,380 with my liver now just just before we 711 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:31,630 came to sit down the three of you had an 712 00:31:35,790 --> 00:31:33,850 interesting sort of Christmas gendrich 713 00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:35,800 cristo centric light that's the name of 714 00:31:40,410 --> 00:31:37,840 that like do three of you sitting down 715 00:31:43,410 --> 00:31:40,420 and two people to each of you yeah all 716 00:31:44,490 --> 00:31:43,420 doing things what happening I was 717 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:44,500 actually wondering whether they're also 718 00:31:49,380 --> 00:31:46,570 touching your girls did they touch your 719 00:31:50,790 --> 00:31:49,390 chest because they touched my nose okay 720 00:31:55,310 --> 00:31:50,800 yeah she'd go that's that's that's 721 00:31:58,290 --> 00:31:55,320 something that only men yet okay yeah 722 00:31:59,880 --> 00:31:58,300 this was supposed to be the we had a 723 00:32:01,650 --> 00:31:59,890 choice actually between four different 724 00:32:03,210 --> 00:32:01,660 things I don't know moral for them but 725 00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:03,220 there was dream interpretation same 726 00:32:07,620 --> 00:32:04,870 interpretation there was a paranormal 727 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:07,630 experience different experience 728 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:09,370 supernatural culture a blessing or a 729 00:32:13,830 --> 00:32:12,010 healing yeah yeah that's awful so we 730 00:32:16,410 --> 00:32:13,840 chose I suppose we chose do I I actually 731 00:32:18,540 --> 00:32:16,420 chose both paranormal supernatural 732 00:32:21,180 --> 00:32:18,550 experience energy and a dream 733 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:21,190 interpretation I told him some story 734 00:32:24,420 --> 00:32:22,570 some green kind of that I vaguely 735 00:32:27,380 --> 00:32:24,430 remember totally it happened this 736 00:32:30,390 --> 00:32:27,390 morning they saddled with it just the 737 00:32:32,190 --> 00:32:30,400 you know the distant some really basic 738 00:32:33,750 --> 00:32:32,200 the kind of stuff that you would in a 739 00:32:35,010 --> 00:32:33,760 stream of consciousness if I told you 740 00:32:36,540 --> 00:32:35,020 the story now you would come up with the 741 00:32:38,340 --> 00:32:36,550 same things because there was something 742 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:38,350 with a wallet so obviously oh that means 743 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:39,610 you're worried about money and support 744 00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:42,890 yeah but 745 00:32:49,350 --> 00:32:45,110 they just great kind of prayed for me 746 00:32:52,030 --> 00:32:49,360 and told me how I'm spiritual and in how 747 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:52,040 Israel has a long history of blessing I 748 00:32:58,210 --> 00:32:54,170 haha that's clearly not blessed right 749 00:32:59,350 --> 00:32:58,220 now so I came out of left field well I 750 00:33:01,210 --> 00:32:59,360 think you have to agree with me that 751 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:01,220 coming to these things every now and 752 00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:02,690 then it's completely worthwhile yeah 753 00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:05,660 absolutely i put a bowl and you've 754 00:33:11,500 --> 00:33:07,910 learned a lot huh I don't know how much 755 00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:11,510 I've learned knowledge I have a mass I 756 00:33:16,210 --> 00:33:14,510 have certainly observed a lot that's a 757 00:33:18,820 --> 00:33:16,220 nice way to put it John I'm glad that 758 00:33:21,010 --> 00:33:18,830 you came along I'm very glad that I came 759 00:33:22,870 --> 00:33:21,020 along um I'd be willing to do this again 760 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:22,880 in a heartbeat it's actually fascinating 761 00:33:27,370 --> 00:33:24,410 and I've got a lot of literature that 762 00:33:29,290 --> 00:33:27,380 I'm taking home and things to chase up 763 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:29,300 which will be fascinating yeah we all we 764 00:33:34,150 --> 00:33:31,010 want to their do something I want to 765 00:33:37,060 --> 00:33:34,160 just say about my experience here I felt 766 00:33:41,740 --> 00:33:37,070 the most most profound aspect of this 767 00:33:44,170 --> 00:33:41,750 tour being as a World Vision stand it's 768 00:33:46,390 --> 00:33:44,180 a bit lonely there it is no people don't 769 00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:46,400 that what they do is they have bottles 770 00:33:52,180 --> 00:33:49,910 up but with the grimy water and it says 771 00:33:53,650 --> 00:33:52,190 dirty water on them obviously the idea 772 00:33:56,380 --> 00:33:53,660 is to attract attention to the fact that 773 00:33:57,610 --> 00:33:56,390 that there are millions of people the 774 00:33:59,530 --> 00:33:57,620 children in particular around the world 775 00:34:01,120 --> 00:33:59,540 who that's the water that they have that 776 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:01,130 they do not have access to clean water 777 00:34:07,810 --> 00:34:03,410 and 778 00:34:09,280

at all and the 784 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:20,210 girl they told told us a story about 785 00:34:24,820 --> 00:34:23,690 somebody who came and said that that she 786 00:34:26,380 --> 00:34:24,830 asked for donate they asked for 787 00:34:28,810 --> 00:34:26,390 donations obviously she said she can't 788 00:34:30,850 --> 00:34:28,820 afford it and she said she was thinking 789 00:34:33,220 --> 00:34:30,860 of course you can afford it you have an 790 00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:33,230 eighty dollar angel drawing under your 791 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:35,750 arm you know if you spend half of that

your 852 00:37:53,310 --> 00:37:51,370 recent spooky action at a distance 853 00:37:56,190 --> 00:37:53,320 because we've been getting feedback from 854 00:37:57,690 --> 00:37:56,200 listeners about them ah look I imagine 855 00:37:59,220 --> 00:37:57,700 people are breaking the door down and 856 00:38:01,890 --> 00:37:59,230 saying just cut this out with all this 857 00:38:03,030 --> 00:38:01,900 ghost busting stuff just the opposite a 858 00:38:05,460 --> 00:38:03,040 lot of people have been writing in 859 00:38:06,660 --> 00:38:05,470 saying how interested they are that 860 00:38:07,950 --> 00:38:06,670 we're doing this we're taking this 861 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:07,960 approach I just wanted to take a moment 862 00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:10,210 to have a chat with you about it I 863 00:38:15,390 --> 00:38:12,730 really enjoy the fact that when you talk 864 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:15,400 to paranormal people's we could call 865 00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:18,490 them that it's sort of um you're very 866 00:38:22,860 --> 00:38:21,250 disarming and and they're not they're 867 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:22,870 not arguing with you they're simply 868 00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:24,370 telling you what they think I think 869 00:38:29,730 --> 00:38:26,800 that's a really interesting insight well 870 00:38:33,020 --> 00:38:29,740 I think I think also I I would prefer to 871 00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:33,030 use the the name anomalous they've 872 00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:35,230 discovered something anomalous tall I 873 00:38:38,940 --> 00:38:36,910 think there's something anomalous and 874 00:38:40,530 --> 00:38:38,950 they well I think that refer themselves 875 00:38:43,170 --> 00:38:40,540 as anomalous which is kind of what I 876 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:43,180 like because they are creating a 877 00:38:47,790 --> 00:38:45,970 paranormal solution but which may or may 878 00:38:49,740 --> 00:38:47,800 not be correct but it's mainly an 879 00:38:53,070 --> 00:38:49,750 anomaly they're looking into so I prefer 880 00:38:55,650 --> 00:38:53,080 that and I am doing this from a point of 881 00:38:57,330 --> 00:38:55,660 curiosity which is why which is what 882 00:39:00,960 --> 00:38:57,340 attracted me to the skeptic movement I 883 00:39:02,370 --> 00:39:00,970 like to find out things and if some 884 00:39:04,350 --> 00:39:02,380 people want to find out a paranormal 885 00:39:06,210 --> 00:39:04,360 solution that may not be backed up with 886 00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:06,220 evidence I'm certainly interested in 887 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:08,110 finding out at least why they think that 888 00:39:12,630 --> 00:39:10,810 I think it's invaluable may not I really 889 00:39:15,510 --> 00:39:12,640 do because I mean I speak to a lot of 890 00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:15,520 these people but when I do they often 891 00:39:20,190 --> 00:39:18,250 know who i am i'm a prominent skeptic 892 00:39:22,110 --> 00:39:20,200 and so their attitude is quite different 893 00:39:23,970 --> 00:39:22,120 but when you come along just to 894 00:39:26,790 --> 00:39:23,980 interview them suddenly we hear what 895 00:39:28,770 --> 00:39:26,800 they really think and again i think for 896 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:28,780 our listeners especially it's really 897 00:39:32,970 --> 00:39:31,330 it's a great lesson for them and today 898 00:39:35,070 --> 00:39:32,980 is no exception we're going to you're 899 00:39:38,250 --> 00:39:35,080 going to be talking to a ghost hunter 900 00:39:40,770 --> 00:39:38,260 but just just the way you get inside his 901 00:39:42,150 --> 00:39:40,780 mind and i don't want to say you give 902 00:39:44,310 --> 00:39:42,160 him enough rope but it's sort of a 903 00:39:45,570 --> 00:39:44,320 little bit like that well i wish to 904 00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:45,580 mention this could be the interview 905 00:39:49,140 --> 00:39:46,480 where we mentioned I 906 00:39:52,980 --> 00:39:49,150 I wish to wonder why people who look for 907 00:39:55,950 --> 00:39:52,990 signs of spirits and that kind of thing 908 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:55,960 don't use the ultraviolet frequency of 909 00:40:01,260 --> 00:39:57,370 light the way they like to use the 910 00:40:03,150 --> 00:40:01,270 infrared and I just running why why it's 911 00:40:04,710 --> 00:40:03,160 not traditional to use ultraviolet light 912 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:04,720 where it has become traditional for 913 00:40:08,670 --> 00:40:07,090 ghost hunters to use infrared I've got a 914 00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:08,680 pen that shines an ultraviolet light 915 00:40:12,390 --> 00:40:10,270 maybe I should start looking for one now 916 00:40:15,330 --> 00:40:12,400 well there are a lot of like human 917 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:15,340 deposits that can light up in 918 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:17,170 ultraviolet light that may be why they 919 00:40:21,270 --> 00:40:18,850 might not use it because you just get 920 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:21,280 the signs that actual live humans were 921 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:22,570 there so that might that actually worked 922 00:40:26,130 --> 00:40:24,370 so well that could be the reason but I 923 00:40:27,390 --> 00:40:26,140 don't know if that is it because cats 924 00:40:30,300 --> 00:40:27,400 can see a little bit into the 925 00:40:32,220 --> 00:40:30,310 ultraviolet spectrum I believe Oh a lot 926 00:40:34,350 --> 00:40:32,230 of animals can see if far more than now 927 00:40:36,180 --> 00:40:34,360 then weekend well this is why sometimes 928 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:36,190 cats will be staring at things 929 00:40:39,390 --> 00:40:38,170 apparently I mean sometimes it's no 930 00:40:40,890 --> 00:40:39,400 doubt because they're just being cats 931 00:40:42,330 --> 00:40:40,900 and they want to trick you but sometimes 932 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:42,340 them they might be seeing a little bit 933 00:40:45,690 --> 00:40:44,410 of butter mouse urine or something like 934 00:40:47,730 --> 00:40:45,700 that that they would use to track their 935 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:47,740 prey or a moth is banged against the 936 00:40:50,730 --> 00:40:49,210 wall and left a bit of an imprint there 937 00:40:52,770 --> 00:40:50,740 that you can't see the cat can that 938 00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:52,780 that's what I would suspect you might be 939 00:40:57,630 --> 00:40:54,400 right maybe they're looking at a ghost 940 00:41:00,450 --> 00:40:57,640 Maynard who knows who are we to say if 941 00:41:02,790 --> 00:41:00,460 they are doing that or not but at once 942 00:41:06,150 --> 00:41:02,800 again I'm glad that you can you can 943 00:41:08,100 --> 00:41:06,160 interview these people and well we have 944 00:41:10,890 --> 00:41:08,110 a little peek inside their mind I think 945 00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:10,900 well look I suggest look strike up a 946 00:41:14,790 --> 00:41:12,910 conversation would I know a lot of 947 00:41:17,490 --> 00:41:14,800 skeptics um I haven't got a lot of 948 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:17,500 patience for people that seeked non 949 00:41:21,060 --> 00:41:19,810 evidence-based solutions to things and I 950 00:41:23,550 --> 00:41:21,070 can certainly understand that after 951 00:41:25,290 --> 00:41:23,560 being many years in the organization and 952 00:41:28,230 --> 00:41:25,300 talking to people you just get sick of 953 00:41:30,570 --> 00:41:28,240 hearing the similar thing but people do 954 00:41:33,300 --> 00:41:30,580 have reasons that has steered them down 955 00:41:36,420 --> 00:41:33,310 a certain path and remember it's not 956 00:41:39,210 --> 00:41:36,430 your job to change them I think it's the 957 00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:39,220 job just to find out why they think what 958 00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:40,960 they think and basically I'm just a 959 00:41:44,970 --> 00:41:42,640 curious bugger and I like being that I 960 00:41:47,190 --> 00:41:44,980 think that's absolutely right so why 961 00:41:49,830 --> 00:41:47,200 don't we both sit back man added enjoyed 962 00:41:51,930 --> 00:41:49,840 the next installment of your interviews 963 00:41:54,630 --> 00:41:51,940 from the Australian paranormal and 964 00:41:57,509 --> 00:41:54,640 spiritual

shop in the town of Milton which 987 00:42:49,709 --> 00:42:48,429 provided some fantastic results what's 988 00:42:51,779 --> 00:42:49,719 the history with the shop that would 989 00:42:55,380 -->

992 00:43:04,319 --> 00:43:02,349 in 2001 at the age of 89 didn't like his 993 00:43:06,569 --> 00:43:04,329 family a whole lot so he ended up 994 00:43:09,209 --> 00:43:06,579 selling the building

session we sort of like 1003 00:43:27,809 --> 00:43:26,589 a Ouija board sort of think I don't put 1004 00:43:29,339 --> 00:43:27,819 too much talking to those but we've got 1005 00:43:32,699 --> 00:43:29,349 a member of the crew who loves the old 1006 00:43:34,559 --> 00:43:32,709 school stuff and we got some incredibly 1007 00:43:38,219 --> 00:43:34,569 detailed information which was verified 1008 00:43:40,519 --> 00:43:38,229 by the owner it was very interesting and 1009 00:43:43,319 --> 00:43:40,529 that's probably probably one of the most 1010 00:43:44,639 --> 00:43:43,329 Walter and Walter at the milton theater 1011 00:43:46,409 --> 00:43:44,649 that's right yeah little boy in the 1012 00:43:48,209 --> 00:43:46,419 milton theater you're talking about old 1013

that you 1016 00:43:54,659 --> 00:43:53,169 might use in star wars or something like 1017 00:43:55,889 --> 00:43:54,669 you throw one down and put up the aerial 1018 00:43:57,269 --> 00:43:55,899 on your wait for the star troopers come 1019 00:43:59,069 --> 00:43:57,279 along but yet what have you got here 1020 00:44:01,829 --> 00:43:59,079 what it would be the most high-tech toy 1021 00:44:04,109 --> 00:44:01,839 that you use oh okay well obviously I'm 1022 00:44:05,399 --> 00:44:04,119 probably too big to display here at the 1023 00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:05,409 moment but obviously we use like a 1024 00:44:09,659 --> 00:44:07,089 security system where we can have the 1025 00:44:10,889 --> 00:44:09,669 the cameras locked off and set up we can 1026 00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:10,899 keep an eye on the screens and for 1027 00:44:12,750 --> 00:44:11,200 different 1028 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:12,760 positions and see what's going on in 1029 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:15,130 rooms we've got everything from REM pods 1030 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:17,410 here which electromagnetic field 1031 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:18,490 disturbs then the lights and the 1032 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:20,050 whistles and all the bells go off so 1033 00:44:23,550 --> 00:44:21,010 it's a quite an interesting piece of 1034 00:44:25,050 --> 00:44:23,560 equipment just explain to people what a 1035 00:44:27,510 --> 00:44:25,060 rem-pod is again because I'm looking at 1036 00:44:29,790 --> 00:44:27,520 it it looks pretty bloody cool does look 1037 00:44:33,380 --> 00:44:29,800 a bit Tom Baker a bit Tom Baker error 1038 00:44:36,089 --> 00:44:33,390 Doctor Who as well it's very TARDIS yes 1039 00:44:38,940 --> 00:44:36,099 well what it does it creates its own 1040 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:38,950 little electromagnetic field right what 1041 00:44:42,510 --> 00:44:41,050 sort of range well it can write you this 1042 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:42,520 one has multiple ranges on it so you can 1043 00:44:45,390 --> 00:44:43,690 do it from one inch right through to 1044 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:45,400 five inches so and if anything passes 1045 00:44:50,190 --> 00:44:48,490 over it's going to go off it also has a 1046 00:44:51,329 --> 00:44:50,200 temperature sensor on it as well so if 1047 00:44:53,460 --> 00:44:51,339 the temperature goes up and down it's 1048 00:44:54,810 --> 00:44:53,470 going to go off as well and it's it's 1049 00:44:55,950 --> 00:44:54,820 really good because it's it's quite loud 1050 00:44:57,690 --> 00:44:55,960 so you can hear it no matter where you 1051 00:44:58,770 --> 00:44:57,700 place it and of course with the lights 1052 00:45:00,359 --> 00:44:58,780 if you get a locked off camera you can 1053 00:45:02,819 --> 00:45:00,369 see the lights going off on camera as 1054 00:45:03,990 --> 00:45:02,829 well but probably the most interesting 1055 00:45:06,359 --> 00:45:04,000 piece of equipment we've got here is the 1056 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:06,369 vrm it don't ask me what it stands for 1057 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:08,410 cuz I have no idea but what this piece 1058 00:45:12,750 --> 00:45:10,450 of equipment does is it actually listens 1059 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:12,760 to the infields electromagnetic fields 1060 00:45:21,030 --> 00:45:17,130 okay it looks a lot like a an extremely 1061 00:45:23,940 --> 00:45:21,040 extremely good sniper sight or a very 1062 00:45:25,710 --> 00:45:23,950 very directional microphone that's what 1063 00:45:28,500 --> 00:45:25,720 it's all about it's it's quite accurate 1064 00:45:29,730 --> 00:45:28,510 so if you're in a in a place it's got a 1065 00:45:31,650 --> 00:45:29,740 lot of electricity running from it 1066 00:45:32,940 --> 00:45:31,660 you're going to hear a lot of different 1067 00:45:35,220 --> 00:45:32,950 buzzing Xand sands and stuff like that 1068 00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:35,230 but if you're in a location that's void 1069 00:45:39,150 --> 00:45:37,510 of any electricity or has very little 1070 00:45:40,410 --> 00:45:39,160 electricity running through it this is a 1071 00:45:43,500 --> 00:45:40,420 great piece of equipment because you 1072 00:45:45,660 --> 00:45:43,510 know if you do hear something that's not 1073 00:45:47,130 --> 00:45:45,670 in the natural environment it is quite 1074 00:45:49,980 --> 00:45:47,140 interesting and it's also you've heard 1075 00:45:51,329 --> 00:45:49,990 of EVPs electronic voice phenomena where 1076 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:51,339 you listen back to what you've recorded 1077 00:45:55,770 --> 00:45:52,930 you can hear voices this is real-time 1078 00:45:58,020 --> 00:45:55,780 EVP so you can actually hear as you're 1079 00:46:00,359 --> 00:45:58,030 listening so we'll put the headphones on 1080 00:46:01,829 --> 00:46:00,369 do a sweep of the location and we'll 1081 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:01,839 also hook up a little digital recorder 1082 00:46:05,430 --> 00:46:03,130 too so we can record everything that's 1083 00:46:06,930 --> 00:46:05,440 going on at the same time like I've been 1084 00:46:09,420 --> 00:46:06,940 mentioning to a lot of people here it's 1085 00:46:11,309 --> 00:46:09,430 a bit like the ghost hunting industry is 1086 00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:11,319 that these kind of events ah well yeah 1087 00:46:15,390 --> 00:46:12,730 well this is the this is the second 1088 00:46:16,890 --> 00:46:15,400 Australian paranormal Expo I was able to 1089 00:46:19,770 --> 00:46:16,900 visit last year and then obviously 1090 00:46:21,089 --> 00:46:19,780 invited to come along and and show off 1091 00:46:22,630 --> 00:46:21,099 what we do and of course the ghost 1092 00:46:25,780 --> 00:46:22,640 paranormal street where 1093 00:46:27,130 --> 00:46:25,790 and it's privia that the I suppose the 1094 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:27,140 paranormal center in Australia is quite 1095 00:46:32,380 --> 00:46:30,050 young hmm we spoke to a couple of guys 1096 00:46:34,450 --> 00:46:32,390 from the states recently we had a big 1097 00:46:36,700 --> 00:46:34,460 group of the quarantine station the 1098 00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:36,710 Klingon brothers who used to be on ghost 1099 00:46:41,430 --> 00:46:39,440 lab and they said basically in the 1100 00:46:44,530 --> 00:46:41,440 States especially places like Gettysburg 1101 00:46:45,940 --> 00:46:44,540 a lot of paranormal teams every man and 1102 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:45,950 his dog as a paranormal team but in 1103 00:46:50,230 --> 00:46:48,170 Australia it's a very very young 1104 00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:50,240 industry and people slowly getting into 1105 00:46:54,220 --> 00:46:52,310 it now tell me who would be the rock 1106 00:46:55,330 --> 00:46:54,230 stars of the ghost hunting industry who 1107 00:46:57,130 --> 00:46:55,340 are the people we're going to go hey 1108 00:46:59,770 --> 00:46:57,140 they're here look out we're talking 1109 00:47:01,690 --> 00:46:59,780 about Australian weldable both Universal 1110 00:47:05,230 --> 00:47:01,700 but other other any in Australia again 1111 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:05,240 well as people we know and we look up to 1112 00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:07,490 and respect but I suppose you've got the 1113 00:47:11,980 --> 00:47:10,250 guys that you see on TV guys from Ghost 1114 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:11,990 Adventures zak bagans is quite a big one 1115 00:47:16,180 --> 00:47:14,290 because he is a very loud personality 1116 00:47:18,250 --> 00:47:16,190 the Klingon brothers are quite good 1117 00:47:20,230 --> 00:47:18,260 because they're very analytical they use 1118 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:20,240 a lot of the technical equipment which 1119 00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:21,650 is really good and of course I think 1120 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:23,930 everyone remembers most haunted which is 1121 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:26,450 probably the first paranormal show on TV 1122 00:47:31,660 --> 00:47:28,450 really and they sort of set the scene 1123 00:47:33,370 --> 00:47:31,670 but yeah I mean they're coming on TV 1124 00:47:36,010 --> 00:47:33,380 quite often now we're getting from the 1125 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:36,020 hoarded cooked collector to others a 1126 00:47:38,950 --> 00:47:37,370 wholly be shy so I can imagine off then 1127 00:47:40,390 --> 00:47:38,960 of course the problem is with them with 1128 00:47:41,770 --> 00:47:40,400 TV productions they're trying to push 1129 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:41,780 out something on a show that happens 1130 00:47:45,970 --> 00:47:43,610 every week and as you know you go out on 1131 00:47:47,860 --> 00:47:45,980 a investigation a couple of times a week 1132 00:47:49,780 --> 00:47:47,870 or once a week and sometimes nothing 1133 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:49,790 actually happens well to be quite honest 1134 00:47:52,990 --> 00:47:51,170 ninety-eight percent of the time you're 1135 00:47:54,910 --> 00:47:53,000 not gonna get anything happen it's that 1136 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:54,920 two percent that rare occasion where you 1137 00:47:58,600 --> 00:47:57,050 get something and go well as you just 1138 00:48:00,130 --> 00:47:58,610 said on the TV shows that the production 1139 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:00,140 companies want value they want 1140 00:48:02,260 --> 00:48:01,370 entertainment they want to see something 1141 00:48:03,940 --> 00:48:02,270 so that's why you get these 1142 00:48:05,650 --> 00:48:03,950 personalities like zak bagans who's on 1143 00:48:07,090 --> 00:48:05,660 ghost adventures needs to be larger than 1144 00:48:10,150 --> 00:48:07,100 life and these to get the crew watching 1145 00:48:12,100 --> 00:48:10,160 but yeah it's one of those things there 1146 00:48:13,750 --> 00:48:12,110 there are a few groups at the moment who 1147 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:13,760 are doing documentaries on YouTube 1148 00:48:17,770 --> 00:48:15,770 people like a whisper west sydney 1149 00:48:20,830 --> 00:48:17,780 paranormal research they do a lot of 1150 00:48:23,290 --> 00:48:20,840 documentaries and the crew from validate 1151 00:48:25,570 --> 00:48:23,300 and moon lock media who are making some 1152 00:48:27,670 --> 00:48:25,580 really fantastic sup and even have a 1153 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:27,680 paranormal spoof series that have just 1154 00:48:31,930 --> 00:48:30,530 come out called spook troopers which is 1155 00:48:33,910 --> 00:48:31,940 available on YouTube at the moment very 1156 00:48:35,810 --> 00:48:33,920 funny and now what's your personal 1157 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:35,820 theory on this now we're not going to 1158 00:48:40,220 --> 00:48:37,770 due to this one because but for me it's 1159 00:48:42,590 --> 00:48:40,230 it appears that it the theory goes along 1160 00:48:45,020 --> 00:48:42,600 the lines that people from another build 1161 00:48:47,420 --> 00:48:45,030 another dimensional plane can manipulate 1162 00:48:51,830 --> 00:48:47,430 electromagnetic frequencies that we can 1163 00:48:53,990 --> 00:48:51,840 detect in a small way yeah round at 1164 00:48:55,910 --> 00:48:54,000 roundabouts you know it's it's one of 1165 00:48:57,500 --> 00:48:55,920 those things we always come up with a 1166 00:48:59,000 --> 00:48:57,510 lot of theories depending on the results 1167 00:49:01,130 --> 00:48:59,010 and the data that we get on the 1168 00:49:03,050 --> 00:49:01,140 investigation sometimes those theories 1169 00:49:04,970 --> 00:49:03,060 tend to contradict each other so it's 1170 00:49:06,350 --> 00:49:04,980 one it's one of those learning steps but 1171 00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:06,360 yeah I think the big thing that everyone 1172 00:49:10,580 --> 00:49:08,730 looks back to is the changes in the 1173 00:49:13,220 --> 00:49:10,590 atmospheric condition so electromagnetic 1174 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:13,230 fields temperature drops which is I 1175 00:49:17,060 --> 00:49:15,450 suppose the most common theory in the 1176 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:17,070 ghost hunting world and then you were 1177 00:49:20,630 --> 00:49:18,690 talking about you know interdimensional 1178 00:49:21,980 --> 00:49:20,640 beings and all that sort of stuff we do 1179 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:21,990 transdimensional and don't forget 1180 00:49:27,380 --> 00:49:24,450 timeslips as well well good actors time 1181 00:49:29,870 --> 00:49:27,390 slipping well there is um we had an 1182 00:49:32,750 --> 00:49:29,880 incident recently with a with a team we 1183 00:49:34,100 --> 00:49:32,760 were working with which I won't go into 1184 00:49:35,270 --> 00:49:34,110 it but it pretty much do they all head 1185 00:49:36,830 --> 00:49:35,280 in and we started talking about 1186 00:49:40,250 --> 00:49:36,840 different dimensions because as you said 1187 00:49:41,570 --> 00:49:40,260 Tom rifts where could this person who's 1188 00:49:44,660 --> 00:49:41,580 speaking to us now I'm making these 1189 00:49:48,140 --> 00:49:44,670 objects move on and do whatever now can 1190 00:49:49,670 --> 00:49:48,150 they hear our voice of a living 80 years 1191 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:49,680 ago and actually listening to our voice 1192 00:49:54,110 --> 00:49:52,410 and where the ghosts you know yes yeah 1193 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:54,120 we just don't know and that's and that's 1194 00:49:57,410 --> 00:49:55,530 what we're looking for but it we're not 1195 00:49:59,810 --> 00:49:57,420 so much looking to prove if the 1196 00:50:02,000 --> 00:49:59,820 paranormal and ghost exists we're trying 1197 00:50:04,340 --> 00:50:02,010 to figure out how and why this this 1198 00:50:05,930 --> 00:50:04,350 phenomena occurs well thank you for your 1199 00:50:06,860 --> 00:50:05,940 time today and have a great time he 1200 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:06,870 would have run because it says there's 1201 00:50:09,980 --> 00:50:08,130 quite a good mood here today's and there 1202 00:50:12,590 --> 00:50:09,990 is everyone loves it you know and as I 1203 00:50:13,850 --> 00:50:12,600 said it's a it's a quite a young field 1204 00:50:15,950 --> 00:50:13,860 and Australia but people are starting 1205 00:50:17,390 --> 00:50:15,960 open their minds up a bit and I think if 1206 00:50:18,980 --> 00:50:17,400 you look on the internet I think you'll 1207 00:50:20,780 --> 00:50:18,990 probably find that you know 50 / 50 1208 00:50:23,510 --> 00:50:20,790 percent of the population of the globe 1209 00:50:25,370 --> 00:50:23,520 believes in something else and where can 1210 00:50:27,380 --> 00:50:25,380 we find you on the web you can find us 1211 00:50:29,300 --> 00:50:27,390 on ghost hunters of south coast and 1212 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:29,310 territories via Facebook and same with 1213 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:30,570 the ghost paranormal street where as 1214 00:51:00,650 --> 00:50:57,440 it's all over Ron had to leave earlier I 1215 00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:00,660 think he had enough and Alethea and Joe 1216 00:51:04,310 --> 00:51:02,370 and I stayed right to the bitter end 1217 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:04,320 work a little while longer at least 1218 00:51:08,540 --> 00:51:06,450 where we're at the Olympic Park train 1219 00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:08,550 station to get our trains on to our 1220 00:51:15,650 --> 00:51:11,040 various places where we live Alethea 1221 00:51:17,540 --> 00:51:15,660 it's all over but I could see your anger 1222 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:17,550 welling up at one particular point I 1223 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:20,090 must say yeah there was a store um 1224 00:51:27,740 --> 00:51:24,330 handing out books about how the massacre 1225 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:27,750 of Nanking never happened and actually 1226 00:51:31,850 --> 00:51:30,090 everyone was really happy and smiley 1227 00:51:34,730 --> 00:51:31,860 when though the Japanese soldiers came 1228 00:51:37,130 --> 00:51:34,740 and there were no comfort women there 1229 00:51:39,860 --> 00:51:37,140 was no rape or nothing like that it was 1230 00:51:41,870 --> 00:51:39,870 all hunky-dory yeah and you made the 1231 00:51:44,090 --> 00:51:41,880 point that if those people been 1232 00:51:47,690 --> 00:51:44,100 Holocaust deniers they'd never be 1233 00:51:49,610 --> 00:51:47,700 allowed in no yeah no it would have been 1234 00:51:52,190 --> 00:51:49,620 unthinkable to allow Holocaust deniers 1235 00:51:55,070 --> 00:51:52,200 and I'm wondering why that was permitted 1236 00:51:56,420 --> 00:51:55,080 well now we know we might be able to do 1237 00:51:58,850 --> 00:51:56,430 something about it make a fuss that's 1238 00:52:00,680 --> 00:51:58,860 why one of the reasons why I keep coming 1239 00:52:02,210 --> 00:52:00,690 back year after year after year every 1240 00:52:03,770 --> 00:52:02,220 now and then we discover something that 1241 00:52:05,690 --> 00:52:03,780 we can actually make a fuss about and 1242 00:52:07,100 --> 00:52:05,700 the thing that out I know that was 1243 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:07,110 outrageous but the other things that I 1244 00:52:10,940 --> 00:52:08,850 found outrageous were these diagnostic 1245 00:52:12,380 --> 00:52:10,950 computers you put on the headphones and 1246 00:52:14,150 --> 00:52:12,390 suddenly your organs are on the screen 1247 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:14,160 and flashing lights and they can 1248 00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:16,530 diagnose you which is just as we were 1249 00:52:21,410 --> 00:52:18,690 mentioning apparently hospitals and 1250 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:21,420 Russia and Japan have those machines not 1251 00:52:26,270 --> 00:52:23,370 here because we're too far away from 1252 00:52:28,070 --> 00:52:26,280 Russia to have those machines damn but 1253 00:52:30,710 --> 00:52:28,080 luckily there's one here the mind-body 1254 00:52:34,490 --> 00:52:30,720 wallet that you can try for just $95 1255 00:52:37,700 --> 00:52:34,500 what a bargain how are you Joe alabaster 1256 00:52:41,900 --> 00:52:37,710 I'm doing quite well actually um I've 1257 00:52:44,450 --> 00:52:41,910 had some Christian healing which was 1258 00:52:46,100 --> 00:52:44,460 basically a guided meditation once again 1259 00:52:48,470 --> 00:52:46,110 and people putting hands on my shoulders 1260 00:52:55,299 --> 00:52:48,480 and me sitting still and I could 1261 00:52:59,270 --> 00:52:57,890 replacing the bus announcements that's 1262 00:53:01,670 --> 00:52:59,280 right we're going to try an

actually um it was worth going over it 1266 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:09,210 was definitely worth going yeah 1267 00:53:14,630 --> 00:53:10,770 absolutely there are a couple of pushy 1268 00:53:17,450 --> 00:53:14,640 people kind of um I had one Chinese 1269 00:53:20,930 --> 00:53:17,460 massage person who was very insistent 1270 00:53:23,299 --> 00:53:20,940 that I needed a massage and I made the 1271 00:53:24,770 --> 00:53:23,309 excuse to go off to an ATM and then kind 1272 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:24,780 of hightailed it out of there which 1273 00:53:29,390 --> 00:53:26,970 might not have been the kindest thing to 1274 00:53:32,809 --> 00:53:29,400 do but yeah other than that people 1275 00:53:34,309 --> 00:53:32,819 generally quite nice I thought oh yeah I 1276 00:53:36,859 -->
