00:06:29,390 all the the paint that had bubbled off 145 00:06:34,690 --> 00:06:32,060 the the observatories and there was one 146 00:06:36,910 --> 00:06:34,700 telescope there was a 48 inch mirror so 147 00:06:40,330 --> 00:06:36,920 meter and a half whatever whatever you 148 00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:40,340 crazy Australian Jews and it was 17 149 00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:43,910 hogsheads across and it

metal grid work that held the telescope 153 00:06:54,970 --> 00:06:52,580 together and it had just melted in place 154 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:54,980 and so the whole mirror just had sagged 155 00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,650 and the mirror itself which was a 48 156 00:07:02,230 --> 00:06:59,360 inch piece of glass substantial amount 157 00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:02,240 of glass had shattered in place so you'd 158 00:07:05,950 --> 00:07:04,310 walk up to it and it looked like a 159 00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:05,960 telescope mirror it's not the same shape 160 00:07:09,190 --> 00:07:07,280 and everything but as if somebody just 161 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:09,200 whacked it with a hammer yeah it was 162 00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:11,690 just is that one of you picked off 163 00:07:17,890 --> 00:07:15,110 pieces off yeah we just shy a giant four 164 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:17,900 shots the size of your hand yeah I still 165 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:19,490 have one they let me keep one yeah got 166 00:07:23,190 --> 00:07:20,690 one and I have friends who've use that 167 00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:23,200 telescope they used it to look for 168 00:07:26,890 --> 00:07:25,280 gravitational lensing which is this idea 169 00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:26,900 that the gravity of an object can act 170 00:07:31,690 --> 00:07:29,030 like a lens bending light and you can 171 00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:31,700 see more distant objects magnified and 172 00:07:34,990 --> 00:07:33,560 brighter this way it's actually it's a 173 00:07:38,650 --> 00:07:35,000 way of looking for planets around other 174 00:07:40,060 --> 00:07:38,660 stars as these planets pass you have a 175 00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:40,070 star say I don't know thousand 176 00:07:42,649 --> 00:07:40,800 light-years away 177 00:07:43,969 --> 00:07:42,659 make that number up and another one ten 178 00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:43,979 thousand light years away when they line 179 00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:46,710 up if the if the in between stars are 180 00:07:50,029 --> 00:07:47,759 one a thousand light years away as a 181 00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:50,039 planet you will actually see a gradual 182 00:07:54,830 --> 00:07:51,870 rise in the light of the background star 183 00:07:56,659 --> 00:07:54,840 first from the foreground star and then 184 00:07:59,059 --> 00:07:56,669 again from the planet so you get this to 185 00:08:01,700 --> 00:07:59,069 a double bump and you can say oh that 186 00:08:04,369 --> 00:08:01,710 was from a star passing in between us 187 00:08:05,899 --> 00:08:04,379 and this other star and planets have 188 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:05,909 been discovered this way but they can 189 00:08:10,159 --> 00:08:08,370 only be detected move once they happen 190 00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:10,169 to pass in front of us are and that's it 191 00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:12,240 that's your shot but what they do is 192 00:08:16,219 --> 00:08:14,400 they observe distant stars if you're 193 00:08:18,830 --> 00:08:16,229 lots of them and then look for that 194 00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:18,840 telltale little in light level rise and 195 00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,270 fall of life that's what that telescope 196 00:08:29,290 --> 00:08:23,759 was for that from a ditch the macho 197 00:08:33,259 --> 00:08:29,300 project massive compact halo objects 198 00:08:35,029 --> 00:08:33,269 macho it was a response to wimps because 199 00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:35,039 we're looking for dark matter we know 200 00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:36,390 there's this matter out there that's not 201 00:08:39,469 --> 00:08:38,310 glowing it's not like a star it's 202 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:39,479 something dark we don't know what it is 203 00:08:43,339 --> 00:08:41,490 and there was this idea that it might be 204 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:43,349 these exotic subatomic particles that 205 00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:45,450 were that are massive there are even 206 00:08:49,310 --> 00:08:47,670 more massive than protons but they don't 207 00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:49,320 interact very well with each other with 208 00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:50,790 normal matter so they're weakly 209 00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:52,110 interacting but they're massive 210 00:08:59,120 --> 00:08:56,310 particles so Wyn p wimps Oh some sorry 211 00:09:03,590 --> 00:08:59,130 one has nothing but leave a mess in the 212 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:03,600 crate so that the in did these other 213 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:05,490 folks and there's always competing teams 214 00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:08,130 they say we think it's so chocolaty 215 00:09:12,110 --> 00:09:09,510 NuGet no we think it's the caramel 216 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:12,120 Center you know we think it's particles 217 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:13,680 that are dark matter and somebody else's 218 00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:15,930 we think it's it's dark planets so the 219 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:18,360 this other project to look for compact 220 00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:20,730 objects which would be planets way out 221 00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:22,860 in the galaxy's halo sort of well out 222 00:09:28,250 --> 00:09:25,649 way outside the galaxy those would be 223 00:09:31,220 --> 00:09:28,260 compact halo objects but they're massive 224 00:09:33,410 --> 00:09:31,230 because their planets machos massive 225 00:09:35,420 --> 00:09:33,420 compact halo objects so was the whips 226 00:09:37,189 --> 00:09:35,430 versus the machos and in the end we 227 00:09:41,060 --> 00:09:37,199 don't know I don't think I think what 228 00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:41,070 happened was you would expect to see a 229 00:09:46,220 --> 00:09:43,769 certain number of these dark planets way 230 00:09:48,199 --> 00:09:46,230 out in the halo to account for the 231 00:09:49,699 --> 00:09:48,209 amount of dark matter we see and so 232 00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:49,709 statistically you could say if we stared 233 00:09:53,329 --> 00:09:51,570 enough stars long enough we should see 234 00:09:54,550 --> 00:09:53,339 enough gravitational lensing enough of a 235 00:09:57,220 --> 00:09:54,560 little brightening of these two 236 00:09:58,450 --> 00:09:57,230 stars to get an idea of how many there 237 00:10:00,580 --> 00:09:58,460 are out there it turns out not nearly 238 00:10:02,950 --> 00:10:00,590 enough mm-hmm so we're pretty sure that 239 00:10:04,690 --> 00:10:02,960 like rogue planets and dark stars and 240 00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:04,700 things like that are not dark matter it 241 00:10:08,170 --> 00:10:06,920 must be some exotic form of matter you 242 00:10:10,090 --> 00:10:08,180 eliminate everything off the you know 243 00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:10,100 you make a big list black holes dark 244 00:10:14,170 --> 00:10:12,710 plans and everything's been scratched 245 00:10:17,470 --> 00:10:14,180 off so all that's left is like really 246 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:17,480 weird stuff Axion's and the file you can 247 00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:19,130 understand it but that's why that's why 248 00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:20,510 they've got the Large Hadron Collider so 249 00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:22,160 that a they can determine what dark 250 00:10:25,870 --> 00:10:23,750 matter is and then be destroy the earth 251 00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:25,880 so we don't actually that's nice yeah 252 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:29,720 yeah in the one moment yes yes this is a 253 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:31,130 seriously it's like nine billion names 254 00:10:34,540 --> 00:10:32,810 of God as soon as you understand what 255 00:10:37,390 --> 00:10:34,550 the universe is all about it it goes 256 00:10:40,329 --> 00:10:37,400 away yes so how enjoy how is that like 257 00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:40,339 Sega into unraveled Akhmeta for us fill 258 00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:43,670 um well it's going to invert them the 259 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:54,040 that can make anything up a lot you 260 00:10:59,320 --> 00:10:57,890 probably um well you know what was about 261 00:11:00,760 --> 00:10:59,330 these metro real it did you just make 262 00:11:02,140 --> 00:11:00,770 that up no no that actually that 263 00:11:03,340 --> 00:11:02,150 actually was alright some of the stuff 264 00:11:06,460 --> 00:11:03,350 you can actually look up if there were 265 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:06,470 some sort of compendium of knowledge 266 00:11:09,220 --> 00:11:07,610 somewhere that was connected 267 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:09,230 electronically in some manner that mean 268 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:10,970 people now good running to this lame dig 269 00:11:14,530 --> 00:11:12,170 street to look up dro bleeeeegh yeah 270 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:14,540 right yeah I think they'll only find it 271 00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:16,610 on my blog it may be something you re 272 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:19,360 Richard that you used it a couple of em 273 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:26,210 um the LHC has a detector and I don't 274 00:11:29,710 --> 00:11:28,010 you know you caught me off guard I'd 275 00:11:31,180 --> 00:11:29,720 have to look it up but i was there i 276 00:11:33,370 --> 00:11:31,190 went there a couple of years ago and it 277 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:33,380 was awesome it was everything you'd 278 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:36,170 expect oh you know gazillion dollar huge 279 00:11:40,210 --> 00:11:37,730 scientific project to be it was so much 280 00:11:43,570 --> 00:11:40,220 fun and they have a detector that it's 281 00:11:46,810 --> 00:11:43,580 looking for these particles of Dark 282 00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:46,820 Matters they pass through normal matter 283 00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:48,350 they can they can interact in a certain 284 00:11:51,340 --> 00:11:50,000 way yep you have to give zillions of 285 00:11:53,949 --> 00:11:51,350 these things doing it and then you see 286 00:11:55,870 --> 00:11:53,959 one little flash or whatever but that 287 00:11:57,550 --> 00:11:55,880 gives you numbers if you see five 288 00:11:59,650 --> 00:11:57,560 flashes a year you can extrapolate to 289 00:12:02,170 --> 00:11:59,660 how many there these particles there 290 00:12:03,460 --> 00:12:02,180 must be out there I'm not sure other 291 00:12:05,170 --> 00:12:03,470 than you know more than that what 292 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:05,180 they're doing there's a lot of ways of 293 00:12:06,820 --> 00:12:06,530 trying to detect these I know they've 294 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:06,830 got to 295 00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:09,170 actors buried underground and except in 296 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:11,360 space and all this kind of stuff and we 297 00:12:14,340 --> 00:12:12,530 still don't know we still don't know 298 00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:14,350 what dark matter is yeah which is cool 299 00:12:19,690 --> 00:12:16,760 once we know order food call it 300 00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:19,700 something else not so dark matter well 301 00:12:24,220 --> 00:12:21,710 it's still dark and unless it's not 302 00:12:26,020 --> 00:12:24,230 matter but it's hard to imagine what 303 00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:26,030 else it would be we know it's not energy 304 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:28,340 and we know it has gravity so it's got 305 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:29,810 to be something that's made of matter 306 00:12:34,510 --> 00:12:32,450 and there are in the in the Model of 307 00:12:36,910 --> 00:12:34,520 particle physics that we have now you 308 00:12:38,740 --> 00:12:36,920 know it's not just a like a zoo of 309 00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:38,750 particles it's not like a list where 310 00:12:42,820 --> 00:12:39,830 you've got protons electrons neutrons 311 00:12:44,950 --> 00:12:42,830 they actually there it's like the 312 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:44,960 periodic table of elements everything is 313 00:12:47,710 --> 00:12:46,130 in its place we know that there are 314 00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:47,720 massive particles that do certain things 315 00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:49,760 and intermediate-mass particles that do 316 00:12:53,650 --> 00:12:51,440 other things and there are these blank 317 00:12:54,850 --> 00:12:53,660 spots that we think there should be some 318 00:12:56,830 --> 00:12:54,860 of these particles in it like the Higgs 319 00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:56,840 boson which is what the Large Hadron 320 00:13:02,080 --> 00:12:58,730 Collider is looking for not posting 321 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:02,090 right yeah it's a it's a silly name it I 322 00:13:05,650 --> 00:13:03,440 mean that's the particle that supposedly 323 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:05,660 gives every other particle mass so it's 324 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:08,090 like a sticky sticky field that you're 325 00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:09,770 walking through and it makes you slow 326 00:13:13,690 --> 00:13:12,800 down its what gives you an Ursa that's 327 00:13:17,460 --> 00:13:13,700 what they're looking for but they're 328 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:19,840 that's that's why they're doing this it 329 00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:21,050 looks like there are particles that 330 00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:22,160 should be there that we don't know about 331 00:13:25,780 --> 00:13:24,110 yet because of the way we think the 332 00:13:27,370 --> 00:13:25,790 universe works and some of these might 333 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:27,380 be dark matter unless that's why they're 334 00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:29,210 looking for so it is up and running 335 00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:30,950 again at the moment isn't it filmed and 336 00:13:36,250 --> 00:13:34,310 but last I heard yeah they were sounding 337 00:13:38,020 --> 00:13:36,260 there at full power I've heard much news 338 00:13:39,850 --> 00:13:38,030 actually I think of it I really thought 339 00:13:41,830 --> 00:13:39,860 about in the past couple of months I get 340 00:13:44,710 --> 00:13:41,840 all my news from Brian Cox it was the UH 341 00:13:49,060 --> 00:13:44,720 a physicist in England and his wife gia 342 00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:49,070 and they're both terrific and he's off 343 00:13:54,220 --> 00:13:51,310 filming his wonders of the universe show 344 00:13:55,660 --> 00:13:54,230 which is unbelievably good i don't know 345 00:13:58,330 --> 00:13:55,670 if you guys have seen this haven't seen 346 00:14:01,420 --> 00:13:58,340 it holy cow is that a good show gorgeous 347 00:14:04,930 --> 00:14:01,430 and brains amazing oh yeah we just got 348 00:14:07,450 --> 00:14:04,940 just gotta know obey again our body 349 00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:07,460 experience such a music that's what they 350 00:14:11,590 --> 00:14:09,710 said you know it's like Gia his wife's 351 00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:11,600 but probably just got an OBE I thought 352 00:14:15,010 --> 00:14:12,710 really 353 00:14:17,650 --> 00:14:15,020 I was in a mountaintop someplace being 354 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:17,660 oxygen deprived and then I looked it up 355 00:14:21,970 --> 00:14:19,970 and it's like the order of the Jordan 356 00:14:24,190 --> 00:14:21,980 British Empire Empire yeah yeah you guys 357 00:14:26,290 --> 00:14:24,200 must love hearing that to write me very 358 00:14:28,180 --> 00:14:26,300 simply yeah we don't have those awards 359 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:28,190 anymore the odd way no no no but the 360 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:30,050 queen salon your money will she's still 361 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:34,850 the head of state yeah yeah yeah we have 362 00:14:38,860 --> 00:14:36,320 an australian prime minister to us you 363 00:14:40,810 --> 00:14:38,870 probably know he's a woman yeah it's a 364 00:14:43,210 --> 00:14:40,820 key we stopping to say in front of 365 00:14:45,490 --> 00:14:43,220 minutes fiber we're sorry guy that fell 366 00:14:48,220 --> 00:14:45,500 but I thought you said he's a woman so 367 00:14:50,530 --> 00:14:48,230 she's English yeah he's a woman it isn't 368 00:14:53,170 --> 00:14:50,540 him as a woman and she's something one 369 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:53,180 of us oh yeah yeah she had have a 370 00:14:57,220 --> 00:14:55,850 skeptic she uh she went on media lately 371 00:15:00,550 --> 00:14:57,230 that they said do you believe in God she 372 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:00,560 says no oh really yeah and she said well 373 00:15:04,930 --> 00:15:03,050 you know other people do but no i don't 374 00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:04,940 okay okay she's matter boy that would 375 00:15:08,620 --> 00:15:06,590 have retired and feather in America she 376 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:08,630 would you be out yeah yeah and it 377 00:15:12,970 --> 00:15:10,010 doesn't necessarily mean she's a skeptic 378 00:15:15,370 --> 00:15:12,980 lot of atheists are skeptics necessarily 379 00:15:16,810 --> 00:15:15,380 but not necessary in a country where the 380 00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:16,820 Prime Minister can say you know I don't 381 00:15:22,810 --> 00:15:20,870 believe in God Japan it's amazing and it 382 00:15:25,390 --> 00:15:22,820 would be nice if if you know religion 383 00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:25,400 isn't nearly the problem and and i don't 384 00:15:30,250 --> 00:15:27,110 mean religion is a problem per se but 385 00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:30,260 the religious incursions into law making 386 00:15:34,180 --> 00:15:31,640 in the classrooms here in America is 387 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:34,190 real problem yeah it's not so bad no you 388 00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:36,770 have creationists there I'm sure they're 389 00:15:40,390 --> 00:15:38,510 trying to get into schools this time and 390 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:40,400 say all right but it's not then haven't 391 00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:41,930 infiltrated the way that they have well 392 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:44,150 you don't have taxes so that's right 393 00:15:51,190 --> 00:15:46,810 every time really we've got Queensland 394 00:15:53,230 --> 00:15:51,200 yeah but we've just had recently class 395 00:15:54,850 --> 00:15:53,240 is called ethics classes which are 396 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:54,860 probably going to be introduced into 397 00:15:59,890 --> 00:15:57,410 schools so for kids have actually have 398 00:16:01,900 --> 00:15:59,900 religious education you can opt out of 399 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:01,910 that but previously if you opted out it 400 00:16:06,490 --> 00:16:03,530 sit in the corner and look at the wall 401 00:16:08,890 --> 00:16:06,500 ok school system still has her in a week 402 00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:08,900 which is what I knew a scripture or 403 00:16:13,930 --> 00:16:11,510 religious education

with the 664 00:27:07,510 --> 00:27:04,520 anti-vaxxers and Logan libel reform in 665 00:27:09,279 --> 00:27:07,520 the UK it also looks like the internet 666 00:27:10,690 --> 00:27:09,289 filter that was supposed to happen in 667 00:27:13,450 --> 00:27:10,700 Australia might not be happening is 668 00:27:15,490 --> 00:27:13,460 faltering isn't it yea which was going 669 00:27:17,740 --> 00:27:15,500 to be just annoying because the Labour 670 00:27:21,490 --> 00:27:17,750 Party is still pushing it are they yeah 671 00:27:23,020 --> 00:27:21,500 okay yeah to do with it coalitions 672 00:27:24,159 --> 00:27:23,030 apparently not going to vote for it 673 00:27:27,159 --> 00:27:24,169 they're gonna end up and on the head 674 00:27:29,020 --> 00:27:27,169 yeah yeah now the funda Jellicle wing of 675 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:29,030 the Labour Party is still all over it 676 00:27:33,130 --> 00:27:30,770 and you know they've got their links to 677 00:27:35,289 --> 00:27:33,140 evangelical Christian groups that really 678 00:27:37,299 --> 00:27:35,299 really want it in but it looks like 679 00:27:41,020 --> 00:27:37,309 strangely Tony Abbott the mad monk has 680 00:27:43,539 --> 00:27:41,030 dropped it he knows the vote we know 681 00:27:45,460 --> 00:27:43,549 when he sees one I think now I think the 682 00:27:48,370 --> 00:27:45,470 reason Richard that this tweet appeared 683 00:27:52,210 --> 00:27:48,380 today was it was then linked to a story 684 00:27:54,730 --> 00:27:52,220 that appeared in the BBC news today and 685 00:27:57,220 --> 00:27:54,740 it was about the psychic by the name of 686 00:27:59,140 --> 00:27:57,230 Joe power now our listeners might 687 00:28:02,440 --> 00:27:59,150 remember him because he was the subject 688 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:02,450 of a Derren Brown investigates show 689 00:28:06,850 --> 00:28:05,330 recently where Darren went up to meet 690 00:28:09,490 --> 00:28:06,860 him and spend some time with him and 691 00:28:13,899 --> 00:28:09,500 pretty much exposed him for being a bit 692 00:28:15,340 --> 00:28:13,909 of a fraud and of course you know what 693 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:15,350 it's like in cycling so it doesn't 694 00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:16,610 matter how hard you hit them they keep 695 00:28:20,020 --> 00:28:18,080 bouncing back and people still believe 696 00:28:23,110 --> 00:28:20,030 them anyway unsinkable rubber ducks 697 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:23,120 that's right yeah so at the moment the 698 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:25,850 Embera comedy festival is on and he was 699 00:28:30,279 --> 00:28:28,610 booked at the end brief rindge to do a 700 00:28:31,990 --> 00:28:30,289 five-minute segment at sort of the 701 00:28:33,850 --> 00:28:32,000 comedy gala so we're all the top 702 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:33,860 comedians or guests come on they get 703 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:37,010 five minutes each it turns out that he 704 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:41,570 actually got booed off stage by the the 705 00:28:44,860 --> 00:28:43,010 spirits of the Dead which was really 706 00:28:47,690 --> 00:28:44,870 weird but then 707 00:28:56,450 --> 00:28:47,700 he was booed and heckled during the 708 00:28:59,750 --> 00:28:56,460 garlic don't go say foo is murder oh so 709 00:29:02,450 --> 00:28:59,760 I'm the the director of the festival 710 00:29:04,790 --> 00:29:02,460 William Byrd at quartz or Koontz is his 711 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:04,800 name he was quoted as saying we made a 712 00:29:08,530 --> 00:29:06,930 mistake putting him on in that context 713 00:29:10,970 --> 00:29:08,540 it was incredibly difficult for him 714 00:29:12,890 --> 00:29:10,980 while it was uncomfortable to watch on a 715 00:29:16,450 --> 00:29:12,900 positive note he has certainly gained a 716 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:16,460 lot of attention from it I'm sure he has 717 00:29:21,650 --> 00:29:19,890 so Joe at Joe power actually made a 718 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:21,660 couple of statements about the incident 719 00:29:26,540 --> 00:29:24,090 as well and he referred to the Daron 720 00:29:27,740 --> 00:29:26,550 Brown program and he said that um now 721 00:29:30,230 --> 00:29:27,750 this sounds like something we've had 722 00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:30,240 before Jason he said since that program 723 00:29:34,250 --> 00:29:32,280 i have had threats and had to move home 724 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:34,260 it sounds very familiar in fact we know 725 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:36,210 someone who Joe power claimed to be 726 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:38,610 threatened by I think Michael Marsh of 727 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:42,930 the Mossad skeptics and I marsh yep even 728 00:29:48,170 --> 00:29:45,690 wash how you do yeah yeah he got call 729 00:29:50,090 --> 00:29:48,180 from a policeman he describes this on I 730 00:29:51,740 --> 00:29:50,100 think the last skeptics with a cake got 731 00:29:55,790 --> 00:29:51,750 a call from a policeman going did you 732 00:29:58,700 --> 00:29:55,800 threaten this guy no okay then fair 733 00:30:01,040 --> 00:29:58,710 enough that's a great episode listening 734 00:30:02,930 --> 00:30:01,050 I love the skeptics with a que podcast 735 00:30:06,860 --> 00:30:02,940 and in fact it's really good information 736 00:30:08,780 --> 00:30:06,870 I love their musical theme you know it's 737 00:30:12,140 --> 00:30:08,790 like the Beatles stinky deleted it 738 00:30:13,820 --> 00:30:12,150 incredible yeah yeah it's great the 739 00:30:15,650 --> 00:30:13,830 column should remember here too is this 740 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:15,660 happened in Edinburgh and as anyone 741 00:30:19,130 --> 00:30:17,130 who's been to Edinburgh particularly the 742 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:19,140 extent of comics listening the Edinburgh 743 00:30:22,790 --> 00:30:20,850 audience and Scottish audiences can be 744 00:30:24,710 --> 00:30:22,800 very tough and particularly if they're 745 00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:24,720 expecting comedy and this guy comes out 746 00:30:27,980 --> 00:30:26,880 and is doing serious psychic thing like 747 00:30:32,090 --> 00:30:27,990 when I was there with the castanet club 748 00:30:33,590 --> 00:30:32,100 in 1984 it was and we were a band so we 749 00:30:35,510 --> 00:30:33,600 could play music and power through any 750 00:30:37,460 --> 00:30:35,520 any problems they had if you a guy up 751 00:30:39,170 --> 00:30:37,470 there doing a psychic reading seriously 752 00:30:40,700 --> 00:30:39,180 and you've only got five minutes I I 753 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:40,710 think it was a really poor choice to put 754 00:30:44,810 --> 00:30:42,330 him on even if you've been a real one it 755 00:30:46,799 --> 00:30:44,820 just wouldn't work I'm surprised he 756 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:46,809 didn't see it coming 757 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:52,690 oh boy I'm to let him down yes I know 758 00:30:56,669 --> 00:30:54,730 what his spirit guy should have told him 759 00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:56,679 but Joe actually had something to say 760 00:31:00,090 --> 00:30:58,450 about it and he said I was expecting the 761 00:31:01,860 --> 00:31:00,100 skeptics at the assembly launch night 762 00:31:03,779 --> 00:31:01,870 but I didn't think it would be as bad as 763 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:03,789 it was because anything people do should 764 00:31:11,489 --> 00:31:07,450 be respected he said he frankly I don't 765 00:31:13,769 --> 00:31:11,499 respect that say hello mama yeah how's 766 00:31:15,749 --> 00:31:13,779 everybody going great that nice dinner 767 00:31:17,909 --> 00:31:15,759 tonight thank you thanks

happen in a venue 779 00:31:45,810 --> 00:31:44,379 my mistake was that I didn't have the 780 00:31:48,810 --> 00:31:45,820 lights on so I couldn't see the 781 00:31:51,330 --> 00:31:48,820 recipient

podcasts we've talked 801 00:32:41,789 --> 00:32:39,429 about how they were investigated by the 802 00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:41,799 healthcare Complaints Commission and 803 00:32:45,810 --> 00:32:44,230 those findings were pretty damning they 804 00:32:47,999 --> 00:32:45,820 were told that they had to post a 805 00:32:50,759 --> 00:32:48,009 disclaimer on their website saying that 806 00:32:53,070 --> 00:32:50,769 their their information was purely 807 00:32:55,170 --> 00:32:53,080 anti-vaccination that it was misleading 808 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:55,180 and that 809 00:32:59,370 --> 00:32:57,130 people who visited the website should 810 00:33:01,530 --> 00:32:59,380 seek advice from a medical doctor not 811 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:01,540 from Merrill Dori who doesn't have any 812 00:33:07,620 --> 00:33:03,730 qualifications at all apart from a brain 813 00:33:09,570 --> 00:33:07,630 apart from a brain and she's a mom now 814 00:33:12,420 --> 00:33:09,580 there was also another investigation 815 00:33:14,070 --> 00:33:12,430 that has was ongoing from the office of 816 00:33:16,340 --> 00:33:14,080 liquor gaming and racing now this is the 817 00:33:18,660 --> 00:33:16,350 charity watchdog a new south wales 818 00:33:20,430 --> 00:33:18,670 basically they were looking into some a 819 00:33:22,530 --> 00:33:20,440 complaint that was made by someone that 820 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:22,540 we know about some of the activities the 821 00:33:27,050 --> 00:33:24,850 avian had been up to one of those things 822 00:33:30,090 --> 00:33:27,060 was that there was a period of two years 823 00:33:31,970 --> 00:33:30,100 where they didn't have a charity license 824 00:33:34,410 --> 00:33:31,980 but they were still soliciting funds 825 00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:34,420 some of the other accusations were that 826 00:33:38,910 --> 00:33:37,150 they had collected funds for certain 827 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:38,920 causes and then spent them on something 828 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:41,170 else not spent them on the thing they've 829 00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:44,050 raised the money for so basically the 830 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:46,960 OLG are passed down their findings they 831 00:33:50,550 --> 00:33:48,370 were actually waiting for the H Triple C 832 00:33:53,310 --> 00:33:50,560 to come down with their findings before 833 00:33:55,380 --> 00:33:53,320 they made a decision that happened on 834 00:33:58,290 --> 00:33:55,390 Tuesday in Australia and that was 835 00:34:00,240 --> 00:33:58,300 announced on late line which another 836 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:00,250 story was done about that so Jason's got 837 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:02,410 the details of the actual findings from 838 00:34:06,540 --> 00:34:05,050 the OLG are I do now the oil gia I 839 00:34:07,980 --> 00:34:06,550 haven't put it out publicly but we've 840 00:34:10,230 --> 00:34:07,990 got press releases that have gone to 841 00:34:12,570 --> 00:34:10,240 media outlets and they read as follows 842 00:34:13,950 --> 00:34:12,580 the OLG are says the audit detected a 843 00:34:15,270 --> 00:34:13,960 number of breaches of charitable fund 844 00:34:17,190 --> 00:34:15,280 raise and legislations including 845 00:34:18,990 --> 00:34:17,200 fundraising without an authority and 846 00:34:20,220 --> 00:34:19,000 authorised expenditure and failure to 847 00:34:23,310 --> 00:34:20,230 keep proper records of income and 848 00:34:24,930 --> 00:34:23,320 expenditure further to this the agency 849 00:34:27,810 --> 00:34:24,940 also identified possible breaches of the 850 00:34:29,010 --> 00:34:27,820 charitable trusts act 1993 which are to 851 00:34:31,050 --> 00:34:29,020 be referred to the Department of Justice 852 00:34:33,930 --> 00:34:31,060 in the Attorney General so these aren't 853 00:34:35,550 --> 00:34:33,940 trivial charges this is actual a 854 00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:35,560 criminal matter given that it's 855 00:34:40,050 --> 00:34:38,110 breaching the charitable trust act so 856 00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:40,060 this is big this is big isn't it writing 857 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:42,730 yeah i mean i think the maximum penalty 858 00:34:47,580 --> 00:34:45,010 for this sort of thing is five years in 859 00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:47,590 jail actually that's why i had not yeah 860 00:34:52,980 --> 00:34:51,280 so I mean the best case scenario here 861 00:34:57,510 --> 00:34:52,990 for the ABN is probably that they might 862 00:34:58,770 --> 00:34:57,520 get their charity license revoked now 863 00:35:00,960 --> 00:34:58,780 I'm not quite sure how that's going to 864 00:35:02,910 --> 00:35:00,970 impact on the organization except that 865 00:35:04,770 --> 00:35:02,920 it means they can't raise any more money 866 00:35:05,140 --> 00:35:04,780 which means that they won't be able to 867 00:35:06,670 --> 00:35:05,150 find 868 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:06,680 which means that they might have to 869 00:35:12,370 --> 00:35:08,690 close down means Meryl will have to 870 00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:12,380 auction the giant imac on her desk what 871 00:35:16,750 --> 00:35:14,089 I'll do now is I'll just play the audio 872 00:35:21,099 --> 00:35:16,760 from the other night on Late line which 873 00:35:22,839 --> 00:35:21,109 is the ABC television's late current 874 00:35:25,299 --> 00:35:22,849 affairs show sort of isn't it it's a 875 00:35:32,279 --> 00:35:25,309 more serious a current affair show so 876 00:35:37,150 --> 00:35:34,960 prominent anti-vaccination group has 877 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:37,160 been given 28 days to explain why it 878 00:35:41,319 --> 00:35:38,930 should be allowed to continue raising 879 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:41,329 funds as a charity the Australian 880 00:35:44,170 --> 00:35:42,890 vaccination network is being 881 00:35:46,870 --> 00:35:44,180 investigated by the New South Wales 882 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:46,880 office of liquor gaming and racing for 883 00:35:53,260 --> 00:35:49,010 potential breaches of charity 884 00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:53,270 fundraising laws Jon Stewart reports the 885 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:55,520 Australian vaccination network is run by 886 00:36:01,120 --> 00:35:57,770 Merrill Durie from a home office on the 887 00:36:03,910 --> 00:36:01,130 north coast of New South Wales the avn 888 00:36:06,190 --> 00:36:03,920 provides anti-vaccination information 889 00:36:09,309 --> 00:36:06,200 through their website their magazine and 890 00:36:11,859 --> 00:36:09,319 seminars last month the healthcare 891 00:36:14,170 --> 00:36:11,869 Complaints Commission accused the avn of 892 00:36:17,260 --> 00:36:14,180 providing inaccurate and misleading 893 00:36:19,839 --> 00:36:17,270 information about vaccines to parents 894 00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:19,849 but the criticism was dismissed by the 895 00:36:25,180 --> 00:36:22,730 group this was not an independent 896 00:36:27,609 --> 00:36:25,190 investigation this was an investigation 897 00:36:29,710 --> 00:36:27,619 by an organization that set out to 898 00:36:33,549 --> 00:36:29,720 support government policy which is pro 899 00:36:36,010 --> 00:36:33,559 vaccination now the IV n is under fire 900 00:36:38,859 --> 00:36:36,020 again this time from the New South Wales 901 00:36:41,170 --> 00:36:38,869 office of liquor gaming and racing which 902 00:36:42,819 --> 00:36:41,180 wants the anti-vaccination group to show 903 00:36:45,910 --> 00:36:42,829 why it should be able to continue 904 00:36:48,250 --> 00:36:45,920 raising funds as a charity the man who 905 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:48,260 started the complaint against the avn 906 00:36:54,309 --> 00:36:51,170 ken MacLeod was interviewed by Lateline 907 00:36:57,010 --> 00:36:54,319 earlier this year we thought that it was 908 00:36:58,599 --> 00:36:57,020 a travesty that the avn should hold a 909 00:37:01,240 --> 00:36:58,609 charity license they are not performing 910 00:37:05,049 --> 00:37:01,250 charitable activities quite the opposite 911 00:37:07,890 --> 00:37:05,059 in his complaint ken MacLeod accused the 912 00:37:11,049 --> 00:37:07,900 anti-vaccination group of misusing funds 913 00:37:12,930 --> 00:37:11,059 he claimed that the avn had been raising 914 00:37:16,359 --> 00:37:12,940 funds to place anti-vaccination 915 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:16,369 pamphlets in bounty bags which are given 916 00:37:21,580 --> 00:37:19,130 to mothers of newborns but he said that 917 00:37:24,490 --> 00:37:21,590 company which made the bounty bags had 918 00:37:28,110 --> 00:37:24,500 nothing to do with the avian it's very 919 00:37:32,020 --> 00:37:28,120 clear that for example money raised for 920 00:37:33,970 --> 00:37:32,030 the bounty bags could never be spent on 921 00:37:35,620 --> 00:37:33,980 the bounty bags the bounty bags company 922 00:37:38,650 --> 00:37:35,630 didn't want to have a bar of the avian 923 00:37:40,540 --> 00:37:38,660 but the money was raised where did it go 924 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:40,550 well it was obviously spent on running 925 00:37:45,970 --> 00:37:43,130 the avian today the New South Wales 926 00:37:48,580 --> 00:37:45,980 office of liquor gaming and racing said 927 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:48,590 their audit of the avian had detected a 928 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:50,450 number of breaches of charity 929 00:37:56,500 --> 00:37:53,810 fundraising laws including fundraising 930 00:37:59,620 --> 00:37:56,510 without an authority unauthorized 931 00:38:02,070 --> 00:37:59,630 expenditure and failure to keep proper 932 00:38:04,270 --> 00:38:02,080 records of income and expenditure 933 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:04,280 merrell Durie could not be contacted 934 00:38:09,550 --> 00:38:07,130 tonight but last month she made the 935 00:38:11,860 --> 00:38:09,560 following statement the office of liquor 936 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:11,870 gaming and racing has been investigating 937 00:38:17,290 --> 00:38:15,050 the avians fundraising we will wait 938 00:38:20,020 --> 00:38:17,300 until they've made their final judgment 939 00:38:22,810 --> 00:38:20,030 before I make any comment on this the 940 00:38:25,300 --> 00:38:22,820 office of liquor gaming and racing said 941 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:25,310 it had also identified possible breaches 942 00:38:29,290 --> 00:38:27,770 of the charitable trust act which will 943 00:38:32,830 --> 00:38:29,300 be

go to their archive 952 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:54,740 section well that the situation now is 953 00:38:58,960 --> 00:38:56,570 Richard that she has three weeks to 954 00:39:01,630 --> 00:38:58,970

00:39:06,140 functioning as a charity given that 958 00:39:11,110 --> 00:39:09,350 she's breached these laws now she wrote 959 00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:11,120 the hilarious blog post about this 960 00:39:17,140 --> 00:39:14,320 didn't she Jase isn't brilliant what she 961 00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:17,150 explained to her members what had 962 00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:18,950 happened in layman's terms so that they 963 00:39:24,940 --> 00:39:21,110 could understand it now do you remember 964 00:39:30,010 --> 00:39:27,520 good the money boss the song sighs and 965 00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:30,020 money box told them he has the money 966 00:39:33,579 --> 00:39:32,089 boxes with the wrong size yes 967 00:39:35,770 --> 00:39:33,589 that'sthat's fundraising without an 968 00:39:37,630 --> 00:39:35,780 authority Merrill yes she also said that 969 00:39:39,339 --> 00:39:37,640 the docket books might not have been in 970 00:39:41,620 --> 00:39:39,349 the right order or something so did 971 00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:41,630 nothing to worry about oh that was it it 972 00:39:45,250 --> 00:39:43,760 was just a few little tiny errors and I 973 00:39:46,750 --> 00:39:45,260 think when the Department of Justice and 974 00:39:49,329 --> 00:39:46,760 the attorney general's department is 975 00:39:51,940 --> 00:39:49,339 involved it's a bigger issue then you 976 00:39:53,349 --> 00:39:51,950 had the wrong size cashbox Merrill the 977 00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:53,359 Attorney General is very keen on the 978 00:40:00,190 --> 00:39:56,510 right size cashbox things that happen 979 00:40:02,260 --> 00:40:00,200 today as well to mend them the aeo of 980 00:40:03,730 --> 00:40:02,270 Australian skeptics he was I don't know 981 00:40:06,910 --> 00:40:03,740 what he was doing on the avian website 982 00:40:10,180 --> 00:40:06,920 but in their shop they have a section 983 00:40:13,630 --> 00:40:10,190 where you can donate funds and they had 984 00:40:15,370 --> 00:40:13,640 say ten dollars donation $26 donation 985 00:40:18,730 --> 00:40:15,380 hundred dollars donation and then they 986 00:40:20,349 --> 00:40:18,740 had the cost of that donation so you 987 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:20,359 wouldn't you would think right if it's a 988 00:40:23,710 --> 00:40:21,650 ten dollar donation that have cost you 989 00:40:26,050 --> 00:40:23,720 ten dollars but apparently there's some 990 00:40:28,270 --> 00:40:26,060 special going at the moment and I hover 991 00:40:30,700 --> 00:40:28,280 your sale they're having a sale on Jones 992 00:40:33,099 --> 00:40:30,710 I'll everything must go they're having a 993 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:33,109 sale on their donation so you can 994 00:40:39,819 --> 00:40:35,690 currently by the 26 dollar donation for 995 00:40:42,220 --> 00:40:39,829 ten dollars now we got a screenshot of 996 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:42,230 this and in the actual picture they have 997 00:40:47,380 --> 00:40:44,690 a someone with a donation box so we 998 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:47,390 thought maybe sighs well see that's what 999 00:40:51,130 --> 00:40:48,770 we thought maybe the twenty-six dollars 1000 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:51,140 is too big to fit in that size of a box 1001 00:40:55,270 --> 00:40:52,490 so you only have to give them ten 1002 00:40:57,099 --> 00:40:55,280 dollars I don't know but if you if you 1003 00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:57,109 want to see this

00:41:34,609 to all this interesting talk has been 1021 00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:38,270 may not may not what's going through 1022 00:41:42,370 --> 00:41:40,250 your mind when you hear all this look um 1023 00:41:44,859 --> 00:41:42,380 I've only recently been following the 1024 00:41:46,900 --> 00:41:44,869 whole Navy anything closely and not 1025 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:46,910 being a scientist being a perfect layman 1026 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:49,490 I I can understand why they're concerned 1027 00:41:53,859 --> 00:41:51,770 about vaccinations and I as one person 1028 00:41:55,690 --> 00:41:53,869 look as we all know i'm a big fan of the 1029 00:41:58,089 --> 00:41:55,700 no agenda show don't say to work and 1030 00:42:00,190 --> 00:41:58,099 adam curry and they raised many problems 1031 00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:00,200 with the swine flu vaccination i thought 1032 00:42:03,099 --> 00:42:01,910 okay well okay what is this samira saw 1033 00:42:04,839 --> 00:42:03,109 stuff it's a mercury can't be good 1034 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:04,849 looked it up went to few sources and 1035 00:42:07,540 --> 00:42:06,170 found that it's not a form that's 1036 00:42:10,780 --> 00:42:07,550 absorbed by the body is that correct 1037 00:42:13,569 --> 00:42:10,790 that's correct yes okay and I then went 1038 00:42:15,579 --> 00:42:13,579 I wanted to know what and well because 1039 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:15,589 it would add juice or something the 1040 00:42:18,970 --> 00:42:17,210 things that are added to the vaccine to 1041 00:42:20,530 --> 00:42:18,980 make them more powerful I then want to 1042 00:42:23,079 --> 00:42:20,540 find out what that was and i discovered 1043 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:23,089 that they're not harmful either so we 1044 00:42:25,809 --> 00:42:24,410 just would have been looking around I 1045 00:42:28,150 --> 00:42:25,819 found out that a lot of the claims are 1046 00:42:30,309 --> 00:42:28,160 exactly true but i think it's just 1047 00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:30,319 people but the one I like is that maybe 1048 00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:32,660 they're injecting chips into people's 1049 00:42:36,490 --> 00:42:34,730 bodies with these now this is actually 1050 00:42:38,319 --> 00:42:36,500 something a vm believes because I just 1051 00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:38,329 heard I heard that mentioned that's a 1052 00:42:42,910 --> 00:42:40,880 girl on a barrel has blogged on that 1053 00:42:44,349 --> 00:42:42,920 subject in the past I know she took an 1054 00:42:46,450 --> 00:42:44,359 article directly from David Ickes 1055 00:42:48,940 --> 00:42:46,460 website some of you may know about David 1056 00:42:53,170 --> 00:42:48,950 Icke if you don't know just don't bother 1057 00:42:55,990 --> 00:42:53,180 I seriously but it the article that she 1058 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:56,000 looking she she took the text of this 1059 00:42:59,200 --> 00:42:57,410 article wholesale and blogged it on her 1060 00:43:00,460 --> 00:42:59,210 own page without attribution and we 1061 00:43:02,710 --> 00:43:00,470 tracked down where it came from and it 1062 00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:02,720 was David Icke it's all about microchips 1063 00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:04,550 in the vaccines and the Bilderberg Group 1064 00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:06,260 and thats is it so we're talking about 1065 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:09,260 alien alien so a she is it perhaps being 1066 00:43:12,580 --> 00:43:10,370 suggested that current 1067 00:43:14,350 --> 00:43:12,590 there's there's nano chips inside the 1068 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:14,360 vaccine Oh some people firmly believe 1069 00:43:19,630 --> 00:43:17,090 that oh yeah ya hurt small RFID chips 1070 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:19,640 now the chips do actually exist but you 1071 00:43:24,610 --> 00:43:21,410 need an antenna on them which is quite 1072 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:24,620 large they're completely useless without 1073 00:43:30,820 --> 00:43:26,210 the center wonder where the antenna 1074 00:43:33,130 --> 00:43:30,830 sticks up your ear obviously of course 1075 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:33,140 but basically I mean look it would be a 1076 00:43:36,340 --> 00:43:34,370 very effective way to track the 1077 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:36,350 population but there's a much more 1078 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:37,850 effective way which is to have stuff in 1079 00:43:43,510 --> 00:43:40,370 people's mobile phones and I just showed 1080 00:43:44,950 --> 00:43:43,520 you all my computer earlier and and what 1081 00:43:46,870 --> 00:43:44,960 have I done I've put a piece of black 1082 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:46,880 tape over the built-in camera yes 1083 00:43:51,690 --> 00:43:48,770 because I don't trust I know people want 1084 00:43:54,310 --> 00:43:51,700 to watch me getting dressed they do I 1085 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:54,320 know people want to see that so that's 1086 00:43:57,100 --> 00:43:55,490 why I put a bit of tape over there 1087 00:44:00,930 --> 00:43:57,110 because can I ask a question why do you 1088 00:44:05,050 --> 00:44:03,520 well because some other but I've shot 1089 00:44:07,270 --> 00:44:05,060 videos of other people getting dressed 1090 00:44:08,950 --> 00:44:07,280 that I've got a fair laptop and I want 1091 00:44:10,570 --> 00:44:08,960 to see if I'm doing same way as M simple 1092 00:44:12,070 --> 00:44:10,580 left so interesting the one there was a 1093 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:12,080 case in the u.s. recently the popped up 1094 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:13,490 in the news of a school district you 1095 00:44:16,630 --> 00:44:15,410 were giving out laptops to the students 1096 00:44:19,060 --> 00:44:16,640 that's right and then put surveillance 1097 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:19,070 software on the laptops so basically 1098 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:20,930 what they've got would be class this 1099 00:44:24,790 --> 00:44:22,970 child pool in Australia yeah and and and 1100 00:44:26,890 --> 00:44:24,800 and also in America and they've got all 1101 00:44:29,050 --> 00:44:26,900 their students like the lab they can 1102 00:44:31,510 --> 00:44:29,060 eavesdrop on their students at any time 1103 00:44:33,220 --> 00:44:31,520 and and this candlelight because one of 1104 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:33,230 them was doing something unusual i 1105 00:44:36,820 --> 00:44:35,090 reckon looking at your class students 1106 00:44:39,190 --> 00:44:36,830 make it that's very unusual procedure 1107 00:44:40,330 --> 00:44:39,200 yeah i reckin one of the students was 1108 00:44:45,820 --> 00:44:40,340 doing his homework and that was 1109 00:44:47,380 --> 00:44:45,830 considered unusual but you have some 1110 00:44:48,610 --> 00:44:47,390 other interesting types of number of 1111 00:44:50,350 --> 00:44:48,620 things here and oh by the way that 1112 00:44:51,850 --> 00:44:50,360 podcast you mentioned that's the one you 1113 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:51,860 sent me a clip of that's right then the 1114 00:44:55,630 --> 00:44:53,570 no

was a story out of 1392 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:07,600 Sydney about a man who suffered severe 1393 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:10,210 lead poisoning and was hospitalized 1394 00:55:17,070 --> 00:55:13,210 after he was taking a course of 1395 00:55:19,980 --> 00:55:17,080 traditional medicines known as Aaron how 1396 00:55:21,870 --> 00:55:19,990 you vida are you being vigman ayurvedic 1397 00:55:26,670 --> 00:55:21,880 medicines which he had imported through 1398 00:55:28,380 --> 00:55:26,680 the intertubes from india hmm now when 1399 00:55:30,150 --> 00:55:28,390 he presented the hospital toxicology 1400 00:55:32,970 --> 00:55:30,160 tests were done and the results revealed 1401 00:55:37,230 --> 00:55:32,980 that he had nine times the acceptable 1402 00:55:38,550 --> 00:55:37,240 level of lead in his blood and so yeah 1403 00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:38,560 this was caused several months earlier 1404 00:55:45,420 --> 00:55:40,330 he brought these supplements and was 1405 00:55:46,980 --> 00:55:45,430 just taking them and that when they 1406 00:55:49,110 --> 00:55:46,990 actually tested the supplement they 1407 00:55:51,180 --> 00:55:49,120 found that it had high levels of not 1408 00:55:55,380 --> 00:55:51,190 just led but mercury and arsenic as well 1409 00:55:57,990 --> 00:55:55,390 ah which all natural right naturalness 1410 00:55:59,730 --> 00:55:58,000 yes yes yeah and just to tie back to an 1411 00:56:02,160 --> 00:55:59,740 earlier story as well the current cover 1412 00:56:05,790 --> 00:56:02,170 story on the AV ends magazine is a aveda 1413 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:05,800 for children yeah so yeah just just to 1414 00:56:09,870 --> 00:56:07,450 hammer that out we're not making that up 1415 00:56:12,990 --> 00:56:09,880 why are they've written an article about 1416 00:56:14,700 --> 00:56:13,000 how r aveda is good for children so I 1417 00:56:16,950 --> 00:56:14,710 mean though but but the funny thing is 1418 00:56:21,180 --> 00:56:16,960 Jason they worried about a little bit of 1419 00:56:23,790 --> 00:56:21,190 thimerosal in the back 0.01 milligrams 1420 00:56:25,470 --> 00:56:23,800 of thumb aerosol in a vaccine but your 1421 00:56:28,500 --> 00:56:25,480 grams of it in this area Vedic stuff 1422 00:56:30,810 --> 00:56:28,510 yeah which understand scales you know 1423 00:56:32,370 --> 00:56:30,820 they've got no idea of numbers no they 1424 00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:32,380 didn't really learn take just just that 1425 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:34,810 sentence is almost quick stop it after 1426 00:56:38,940 --> 00:56:37,210 they've got no idea oh yeah that's right 1427 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:38,950 no idea can I just give a little example 1428 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:41,170 of what little idea they have of numbers 1429 00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:43,330 I got so many I'm getting so many lulz 1430 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:45,730 out of the H Triple C complaint and I'm 1431 00:56:49,860 --> 00:56:47,410 actually going through it and compiling 1432 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:49,870 all the biggest ones but there's one I 1433 00:56:55,710 --> 00:56:53,050 came across yesterday where Merrill had 1434 00:56:58,770 --> 00:56:55,720 talked about the micro grams of 1435 00:57:00,620 --> 00:56:58,780 aluminium in vaccines or something and 1436 00:57:02,550 --> 00:57:00,630 how that exceeded the EPA's 1437 00:57:06,240 --> 00:57:02,560 recommendation for the safe level of 1438 00:57:08,850 --> 00:57:06,250 aluminium and in the edge CC report they 1439 00:57:11,970 --> 00:57:08,860 said we know the the levels that are 1440 00:57:13,980 --> 00:57:11,980 acceptable a save point four percent 1441 00:57:14,390 --> 00:57:13,990 weight per volume and what's in the 1442 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:14,400 vaccine 1443 00:57:17,990 --> 00:57:16,170 is point zero zero zero two percent 1444 00:57:23,809 --> 00:57:18,000 weight per volume now Merle right back 1445 00:57:26,059 --> 00:57:23,819 to the HW I'm not making this up and she 1446 00:57:29,089 --> 00:57:26,069 said this statement is misleading 1447 00:57:31,819 --> 00:57:29,099 because you've converted from weights / 1448 00:57:35,079 --> 00:57:31,829 from weight per volume percentage from 1449 00:57:37,910 --> 00:57:35,089 my micrograms therefore it's misleading 1450 00:57:39,470 --> 00:57:37,920 so she doesn't understand the change she 1451 00:57:41,390 --> 00:57:39,480 doesn't understand that you can convert 1452 00:57:43,940 --> 00:57:41,400 from one between percentages two 1453 00:57:45,620 --> 00:57:43,950 micrograms she also thinks that the 1454 00:57:47,420 --> 00:57:45,630 childhood vaccination schedule in 1455 00:57:51,799 --> 00:57:47,430 Australia which is I forever correctly 1456 00:57:54,079 --> 00:57:51,809 12 shots consists of 31 that's because 1457 00:57:55,819 --> 00:57:54,089 you get nine shots at the dpat vaccine 1458 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:55,829 when you actually get three but you 1459 00:58:00,289 --> 00:57:57,450 count individual diseases but the thing 1460 00:58:02,390 --> 00:58:00,299 is deep EIT covers six and you'd only 1461 00:58:04,730 --> 00:58:02,400 counts MMR is one which covers three she 1462 00:58:06,349 --> 00:58:04,740 can't count wait a minute wait a minute 1463 00:58:11,410 --> 00:58:06,359 doesn't matter didn't you say that you 1464 00:58:19,750 --> 00:58:14,720 waiting to happen the numbers are most 1465 00:58:23,300 --> 00:58:19,760 Mary blog it's funny I you you don't 1466 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:23,310 have the one about converting 1467 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:26,730 I knew you talk about me like this as a 1468 00:58:30,530 --> 00:58:28,650 broadcaster with the ABC like this sort 1469 00:58:32,090 --> 00:58:30,540 of information was presented to me like 1470 00:58:33,830 --> 00:58:32,100 I'd react like this i just wouldn't say 1471 00:58:35,930 --> 00:58:33,840 anything like you guys can just just say 1472 00:58:37,430 --> 00:58:35,940 whatever you like i like because because 1473 00:58:38,810 --> 00:58:37,440 good so I'm just trying to be polite 1474 00:58:40,490 --> 00:58:38,820 here because it's there because if 1475 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:40,500 meryl's in front I'd have to I'm 1476 00:58:52,690 --> 00:58:41,970 behaving now as if Mara was in front of 1477 00:58:55,250 --> 00:58:52,700 me I think you shouldn't be running a 1478 00:58:57,590 --> 00:58:55,260 vaccination information service that's 1479 00:58:59,150 --> 00:58:57,600 supposed to be a vaccine watchdog if you 1480 00:59:00,950 --> 00:58:59,160 can't count and you can't convert 1481 00:59:07,340 --> 00:59:00,960 between units that's why I can't turn 1482 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:07,350 over order just the wrong size I thought 1483 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:18,210 you said six inches across no that's 1484 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:19,290 something you wouldn't he only ever you 1485 00:59:23,810 --> 00:59:22,770 say you never hear Phillip Adams 1486 00:59:27,650 --> 00:59:23,820 complaining about the difference between 1487 00:59:29,570 --> 00:59:27,660 six inches and 12 then again he shows on 1488 00:59:32,510 --> 00:59:29,580 later I don't hear everything cat

look at something on 1492 00:59:38,510 --> 00:59:37,260 there's some stuff coming up though I 1493 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:38,520 think everyone out there should watch me 1494 00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:40,410 yes if you believe it it's kind of cool 1495 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:41,730 and if you don't it's kind of 1496 00:59:45,650 --> 00:59:43,290 interesting but then again I don't know 1497 00:59:47,750 --> 00:59:45,660 a lot of you don't in certain didn't 1498 00:59:49,490 --> 00:59:47,760 enjoy the three our experience of what 1499 00:59:51,890 --> 00:59:49,500 the bleep do we know dr.

01:00:05,870 --> 01:00:04,440 thought this is what i thought that it 1506 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:05,880 was going to be Erich von Daniken and 1507 01:00:09,860 --> 01:00:08,490 yes he's in it but he's

01:00:19,880 other people and they go to lots of 1514 01:00:22,450 --> 01:00:21,080 sites around the world and they're 1515 01:00:24,250 --> 01:00:22,460 trying to get the ancient astronaut 1516 01:00:25,390 --> 01:00:24,260 theory going again I just found it 1517 01:00:27,310 --> 01:00:25,400 interesting cuz I just don't know what 1518 01:00:28,930 --> 01:00:27,320 the why this one should be brought up 1519 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:28,940 again I think its new resting like this 1520 01:00:34,210 --> 01:00:32,210 it's was the seventies well it's it's 1521 01:00:36,130 --> 01:00:34,220 like a throat yeah it's a 70 severe 1522 01:00:39,460 --> 01:00:36,140 revisiting the 70s it's been done and 1523 01:00:41,230 --> 01:00:39,470 dusted and retro retro it's retro it's 1524 01:00:42,430 --> 01:00:41,240 retro that's why it's popular but we 1525 01:00:43,570 --> 01:00:42,440 have new people have been having a look 1526 01:00:44,860 --> 01:00:43,580 at it once again so that might be 1527 01:00:46,750 --> 01:00:44,870 something for the skeptics have a look 1528 01:00:48,730 --> 01:00:46,760 at our on Sunday night and also did 1529 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:48,740 anyone tune in to the I know what I saw 1530 01:00:54,490 --> 01:00:51,410 on the ABC this week the no i didn't but 1531 01:00:55,990 --> 01:00:54,500 it's on I've you on the ABC website we 1532 01:00:58,060 --> 01:00:56,000 can watch it again and again more 1533 01:01:00,010 --> 01:00:58,070 because that and out of the blue by mr. 1534 01:01:02,860 --> 01:01:00,020 Fox the aput that together look I 1535 01:01:05,380 --> 01:01:02,870 enjoyed out of the blue and I enjoyed I 1536 01:01:07,030 --> 01:01:05,390 know what I saw but I think don't think 1537 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:07,040 it's quite exactly right because the 1538 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:09,530 people were about where they were former 1539 01:01:13,660 --> 01:01:10,970 astronauts they were governor's our 1540 01:01:15,340 --> 01:01:13,670 policemen our people of authority that 1541 01:01:16,750 --> 01:01:15,350 think they saw something and they just 1542 01:01:18,790 --> 01:01:16,760 don't know what they saw so more 1543 01:01:21,790 --> 01:01:18,800 correctly it should be cool that I wrote 1544 01:01:23,380 --> 01:01:21,800 it down I believe I saw something but I 1545 01:01:25,540 --> 01:01:23,390 don't know what it is I think would 1546 01:01:27,870 --> 01:01:25,550 probably be more correct there were 1547 01:01:30,130 --> 01:01:27,880 people too long for the screen I know 1548 01:01:31,930 --> 01:01:30,140 well there were people that were harsher 1549 01:01:35,050 --> 01:01:31,940 on that that I read online that said I 1550 01:01:37,150 --> 01:01:35,060 don't know what I saw or I know what I 1551 01:01:40,690 --> 01:01:37,160 believe I saw they were saying but I 1552 01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:40,700 have no bloody idea look and these were 1553 01:01:43,870 --> 01:01:42,410 people that really have nothing to gain 1554 01:01:45,100 --> 01:01:43,880 by coming forward in claiming that they 1555 01:01:47,140 --> 01:01:45,110 saw some of your further move in a 1556 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:47,150 spaceship so that makes me wonder I know 1557 01:01:50,980 --> 01:01:49,010 skeptics out there go Maynard you're 1558 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:50,990 being fooled by whoo but you know may 1559 01:01:56,020 --> 01:01:54,050 not do being fooled by room but you know 1560 01:01:57,340 --> 01:01:56,030 I you know I mean if you're flying along 1561 01:01:58,750 --> 01:01:57,350 as a pilot you see something weird 1562 01:02:01,000 --> 01:01:58,760 object next to you for a period of time 1563 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:01,010 you can observe that bounces off radar I 1564 01:02:03,970 --> 01:02:02,570 mean you know that is something and in 1565 01:02:06,010 --> 01:02:03,980 the court of law you would have to take 1566 01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:06,020 that person's eyewitness testimony for 1567 01:02:09,940 --> 01:02:07,730 something now with you convicted court 1568 01:02:13,330 --> 01:02:09,950 of law and sides contains a different 1569 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:13,340 page in science we don't take it exactly 1570 01:02:16,300 --> 01:02:14,570 that that so I mean we're just which is 1571 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:16,310 why it's difficult to find those two UFO 1572 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:18,050 parts you guys
