The video discusses how recycling can actually be a hoax and sham due to the fact that waste collectors often sell recycling goods to brokers who then send them to poor countries overseas where they end up in landfills or in nature.
The lack of transparency around the recycling process makes it difficult to track where the plastic waste ends up, and most US cities would have difficulty figuring out how much of their recyclables are actually being recycled.
The illegal waste trade is also a problem as it is not easy to track every suspicious shipment, leading to disastrous consequences for the environment. Despite efforts to reduce plastic waste exports, the remaining plastic waste still ends up in landfills or in nature, leading to environmental problems.
Palo Alto, California, has made changes to increase domestic recycling rates and is working with other cities to expand recycling capacity and impose transparency requirements on companies that export recyclable goods.
Overall, the video highlights the need for more transparency and responsible waste management practices to address the issue of plastic waste.
The video is an interview with Carl Sagan, a renowned astronomer and science educator, about the importance of science and the dangers of pseudoscience and superstition. He discusses his latest book, “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark“, which explores the growing fascination in the United States with pseudoscientific and supernatural beliefs that threaten to undermine true science.
Carl Sagan argues that scientific literacy is crucial in a society based on science and technology, and that without it, we risk a combustible mixture of ignorance and power that could have disastrous consequences. He also criticizes the lack of scientific education in politics and the government, as well as the influence of religion on scientific issues.
Sagan discusses the work of Dr. John Mack, a psychiatrist who believed in the reality of UFO abductions, and expresses his skepticism towards Mack and other belief systems that lack adequate evidence.
Lastly, Sagan briefly touches on the possibility of unknown species or animals, such as the Loch Ness Monster, but emphasizes the need for rigorous scientific evidence before accepting such claims.
This is the full interview of Carl Sagan’s last appearance on the Charlie Rose show. Sagan’s expertise as an astronomer shines through as he stresses the importance of scientific thinking and an open-minded approach to the unknown. This interview provides a valuable insight into Sagan’s views on science and society, making it a must-watch for those interested in these topics.

Carl Sagan Quotes
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply to painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
~ Carl Sagan
In the given context information, Carl Sagan is discussing his concerns about the growing fascination with pseudoscience, superstitions, and fundamentalist zealotry, which he believes threatens to undermine true science. He argues that in a society based on science and technology, it is crucial for the general public to understand it and ask skeptical questions to avoid being taken advantage of by charlatans who use emotional force and belief in the absence of evidence to manipulate people.
The quote highlights one of the saddest lessons of history, which is that once people have been bamboozled or deceived for a long enough time, they tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle and become captured by it. They are no longer interested in finding out the truth and acknowledging that they have been taken. This gives charlatans or those who use emotional force and manipulation power over people, which is difficult to regain once lost.
Sagan’s point seems to be that people must be vigilant about critical thinking and questioning in all aspects of life, especially with scientific claims, to avoid being gullible and susceptible to manipulation. It is essential to acknowledge the limitations of human knowledge and to seek evidence to support claims, rather than relying solely on belief or emotion. Failure to do so can lead to misguided decisions, both personal and societal, with long-term consequences.
“Better by far, to embrace a hard truth than a reassuring fable.”
~ Carl Sagan
In this quote, Carl Sagan is emphasizing the importance of accepting scientific evidence and knowledge that may be difficult to acknowledge rather than believing in comforting but baseless beliefs. He argues that rejecting evidence in favor of belief can be harmful, especially when it comes to decision making about societal issues that are based on science and technology.
Sagan sees science not just as a collection of established facts, but also as a way of thinking skeptically, asking questions, and accommodating to the universe’s reality rather than clinging to false beliefs.
He also warns against the danger of religious literalism, which can lead to ignoring scientific evidence in favor of dogmatic adherence to faith-based beliefs.
In this context, Sagan urges people to prioritize evidence-based hard truths over comforting but unsupported fables in order to make informed decisions and better understand the universe.

(Verse 1)
Carl Sagan was a star astronomer,
Bringing the cosmos to our living rooms,
His latest work was about pseudoscience,
Threatening to undermine true science.
(Hook)
Americans flunk science,
We need to understand,
Science and technology,
Propelling us forward.
(Verse 2)
He’s a professor of astronomy,
And director of planetary studies,
He’s a co-founder of Planetary Society,
A space interest group that’s the largest of its kind.
(Hook)
Americans flunk science,
We need to understand,
Science and technology,
Propelling us forward.
(Bridge)
Science is a way of thinking,
Skeptically interrogating the universe,
We need to ask skeptical questions,
To prevent being duped by charlatans.

Americans flunk science,
We need to understand,
Science and technology,
Propelling us forward.
We’ve got some serious evidence showing that a 757 didn’t actually hit the Pentagon on 9/11. We’ve got photos of a hole that’s not big enough for a plane and no wreckage to be seen anywhere. Plus, the roof of the Pentagon hadn’t even collapsed yet in some of these photos. But hey, don’t worry about any of that because the government told us what really happened and we should just blindly accept it. Right? Right.
For Real
This documentary discusses the events of September 11, 2001, specifically the attack on the Pentagon. The narrator acknowledges that people watching the documentary may fall into one of three categories: those who deny any conspiracy theories, those who are violently opposed to them, and those who are not surprised and knew it all along.
The idea of conspiracy theories is explored, with the word “conspiracy” being the first part of the phrase, and “theory” being the active word.
The documentary then examines the events of 9/11, specifically the four events that occurred within an hour and fifteen minutes of one another. The lack of credible claim of responsibility is mentioned, as is the idea that groups or agencies involved in the events would do anything they could to obfuscate or cover up information that might lead to their discovery.
The focus then shifts to the attack on the Pentagon, with the discrepancy between the damage caused by the 757 that hit the building and the damage that should have been caused by that much fuel being ignited being explored. Photographs of the damage to the upper floors and roof area of the Pentagon are shown, and the lack of evidence of a crater or wreckage is discussed.
The documentary includes photographs taken before the wall of the Pentagon collapsed, which also show a lack of wreckage, with wire spools and the broken concrete facing of the building being used as reference points.
The documentary concludes by asking questions about the events of 9/11 and the attack on the Pentagon, and suggesting that the evidence presented should be scrutinized.
Bullet Points
The documentary raises questions about the events of September 11th, including the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
The damage at the Pentagon is deemed inconsistent with the damage caused by a 757.
Photographic evidence does not show any recognizable wreckage from a 757 at the Pentagon.
The release of only five frames from a security camera at the Pentagon raises questions about the lack of video evidence for the most secure building in the country.
The article “From Deception to Revelation” claims that the jet caused a crater 100 feet wide that ripped away the walls of all five stories of the building, but photographic evidence shows a hole approximately 14 to 16 feet across with no wreckage from a 757 on the outside of the building.
Let’s Sing Along
In the land of the free,
Where truth is hard to see,
There’s talk of conspiracy,
On September 11th, oh can’t you see?
The first two towers fell,
The Pentagon was hit as well,
But questions began to swell,
About the tale they used to tell.
A French website caught our eye,
Saying something just didn’t fly,
The photos didn’t seem to lie,
A 757 didn’t make that guy.
No sign of wreckage on the ground,
And a hole too small to astound,
No engines, wings or seats to be found,
Just a mystery that’s gone unbound.
The official story starts to crack,
As the evidence just won’t retract,
From the facts we can’t turn back,
The truth is what we lack.
So let’s ask the question why,
Just one camera caught the sky,
At the Pentagon where so many died,
Is there more we need to try?
In theory, it’s just a thought,
But once the evidence is brought,
The truth we can’t be fought,
And justice must be sought.
Do I have a juicy story here! Snoop Dogg, the rap legend, was apparently involved in murder back in 1993. But don’t worry, he got away with it thanks to some missing evidence and a whole lot of shadiness involving crooked cops and Death Row Records. And if you thought that wasn’t enough, Snoop even released a song and short film called “Murder Was the Case” where he sells his soul to the devil for an acquittal. How edgy and rebellious, right? So basically, if you want to get away with murder, just pay off some cops and hire some shady security services. All in a day’s work in the music industry!
For Real
The video explores the 1993 murder case of Philip Woldermariam and the subsequent trial of Calvin Brodus (Snoop Dogg) and his bodyguard McKinley Lee. The investigation and trial were surrounded by shady connections to crooked cops, which led to evidence going missing and resulted in Snoop Dogg getting away with murder via obstruction of justice.
The video also delves into the involvement of Death Row Records and their connection to corrupt police officers, including Kevin Gaines and Suge Knight’s ex-wife Sharitha Knight, who allegedly received payments from Snoop to provide cop security.
The video further suggests that Suge Knight paid for anything he could to help Snoop beat the case and that the music industry sensationalized the murder for publicity for Snoop Dogg’s upcoming album.
The video highlights how key evidence, including Woldermariam’s bloody clothing and shell casings, went missing from the LAPD evidence locker. The missing evidence would have revealed whether shots came from Snoop or his bodyguard.
The video ends by discussing how shady connections to crooked cops led to evidence going missing and influencing the trial, ultimately leading to Snoop Dogg’s acquittal on all charges.
I started each paragraph with “The video…”
Calvin Brodus (Snoop Dogg) also allegedly drugged and raped a makeup girl in the dressing room back stage while preparing for a late night show interview. He and his entourage apparently took turns raping the makeup girl after she passed out from being drugged.
Let’s Sing Along
Snoop Dogg, murder on the loose
Evidence missing, shadows and truths
Crooked cops, tied to Death Row
Obstruction of justice, let it all go
MTV Awards, debut album on top
Exploiting tragedy, just to sell a lot
Suge Knight, paying off to win
Orlando Anderson, not really a sin
Witnesses change, fear of reprisal
Murder charges dropped, justice in denial
Catchy song, to summarize this tale
Shadiness and connections, not for sale.
Oh, what a wonderful world of drugs we live in! Prescription drugs are killing people left and right and we can’t seem to get enough of them. In Denmark, we’re all popping pills like candy, with some lucky folks getting to take FIVE different drugs every day!
And who cares if the elderly are more susceptible to drug side effects, let’s give them ALL the drugs. Arthritis? Migraine? Back pain? Just take some highly lethal drugs, it’ll be fine.
Big Pharma has us all under their thumb and even the FDA and European Medicines Agency are in on it, approving drugs that can kill us with uncertainty, because why not? Let’s just see what happens.
Be sure to take your happy pill, even if you’re not really that unhappy – it might make you violent and end up killing you, but it’s worth a shot, right?
And don’t worry about all those missing deaths in clinical trials, who needs accurate data when you can just make it up as you go along? So, pop those pills and live a life without drugs…wait, that doesn’t make sense.
For Real
This video is a presentation by Dr. Peter Gøtzsche, a Danish physician, and researcher, who talks about the dangers of prescription drugs and how they have become a leading cause of death. He discusses how Big Pharma has corrupted the healthcare system, creating a society that is dependent on drugs.
He talks about the alarming number of daily doses of prescription drugs in Denmark, where on average, each person can take more than one drug every day from birth to death, and how the elderly, who tolerate these drugs the least, are the ones who mostly take them.
He highlights the lethality of arthritis drugs and antidepressants, and how the drug companies cheat with their data, concealing the risks and side effects of these drugs.
Dr. Gøtzsche emphasizes the danger of psychiatric drugs, like antipsychotics and antidepressants, and how they can lead to suicide and homicide, and the lack of reliable data and blinding in psychiatric drug trials.
He argues that the data from clinical trials are often biased, and there is a need for a truly independent evaluation of drugs, blinding during data analysis and writing of papers, and large long-term trials before marketing approval to get the industry to do medical education to ban marketing on drugs.
Lastly, he advises patients to read the packaging, search before they go to the pharmacy, use drugs as little as possible, and stop taking drugs when they are not necessary.
Poison or Cure?
We’re told, that prescription drugs are intended to heal us, to treat our illnesses and improve our quality of life. Yet, shockingly, prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death in both the United States and Europe, behind only heart disease and cancer. This alarming statistic is a wakeup call to the dangers that lurk within our medicine cabinets.
According to Peter Gøtzsche, approximately half of those who die due to prescription drugs have taken them correctly. The other half die as a result of errors that include taking too high a dose of a drug. This highlights the need for caution and diligence when it comes to managing our own healthcare and taking prescription drugs.
The drug industry, however, seems to have a stranglehold and monopoly over treatments, and their enormous revenue is dependent on meting out synthetic drugs rather than advocating natural treatments that cannot be patented. As a result, natural treatments, which could be a safer alternative, are often overlooked or disregarded in favor of expensive drugs that have been heavily marketed and prescribed.
It is time for a change in the way we approach healthcare. We must demand that our medical system prioritize the health and well-being of patients, rather than the profits of drug companies. This means advocating for natural treatments, investing in research on the long-term effects of drugs, and improving patient education and access to information about the risks and benefits of different treatments.
Let’s Sing Along
It’s a deadly game we play
With prescription drugs everyday
Big Pharma’s corruption is to blame
For the lives lost, it’s such a shame
Arthritis drugs and antidepressants too
Are highly lethal, it’s nothing new
Psychiatric meds are the third leading cause
Of death – it should give us pause
Blinded trials and missing deaths
Make the evidence suspect, at best
We need change, a culture shift
To truly make a positive lift
Read the packaging, be aware
Search and research, show you care
Live a life with fewer drugs
And avoid becoming a statistic, no shrugs.
Oh, it’s just your typical story of countries arguing over who gets to play with their weapons and then suddenly they’re all in a big war! Germany is pointed all fingers at and America didn’t want to get involved, but they couldn’t resist showing off their global power by sending troops to every corner of the earth.
Even William Jennings Bryan, a devout Christian, got so disgusted with Woodrow Wilson’s handling of the war that he quit his job. And then there was that whole Lusitania ship thing with accusations of carrying war stuff and warnings that it might get sunk.
The really cool thing about this war was that conscription made sure everyone got to join in on the dying, not just the professional soldiers. Plus, civilians got to die more than military people – that’s always fun for the Satanic elite. Turkey killed a whole bunch of civilians and Serbia had a lot of disease deaths, but Germany and Russia won the prize for losing the most people. America, of course, also had to join in and lost a measly 50,000.
For Real
The document talks about the events leading to World War I, highlighting how Russia mobilized against Austria and Germany declared war on Russia, invaded West through Luxembourg and Belgium, and declared war on France. Great Britain entered the war due to the invasion of Belgium while America remained undecided.
President Woodrow Wilson promised to keep the US out of the European War and follow the Monroe Doctrine of allowing European monarchies to exhaust themselves, but America had become a global power with possessions, and it was not likely to stay neutral.
The involvement of Woodrow Wilson and America’s participation in World War I was questionable, with the secretary of state resigning in disgust over Wilson’s handling of the war. When the Lusitania passenger liner was to sail from New York, the German Embassy passed out leaflets warning people that the ship was liable to be sunk, and many agreed that the ship was carrying Munitions for the war effort in England.
The casualty figures of the war are difficult to ascertain, with conscription distributing deaths over a large cross-section of society instead of the professional soldiers. Civilian deaths were much higher than military deaths, with a million or more civilians dying in Turkey as a result of the massacre of Turkish Armenians, while only 325 000 are recorded as dying in Turkish military action.
Russia and Germany are thought to have lost 1.8 million, with France losing about 1.3 million, and Britain losing about the same. America lost 50 000 in the war.
Dr. Gene Kim argues Satanic occult rituals may have taken place…
Let’s Sing Along
From peace to war, overnight it came
Russia, Austria, Germany, all met with shame
Invading through Belgium, Germany caused a stir
Britain declared war, America didn’t concur
Wilson promised peace, to keep US out
But recent global power made doubt
Bryan resigned as Christians raised concerns
Lusitania’s sinking gave one excuse to turn
Difficult to count, the casualties of war
Conscription and disease spread far
Civilian deaths surpassed the rest
Turkey, Serbia, France and Britain, put to the test
Overall, the world was changed
Millions lost and rearranged
A war that impacted far and wide
A history that we can’t divide.
Oh boy, do we have a treat for you! In this video brought to you by Cook Unity (because who doesn’t want some fresh meals when discussing potential political bot networks?), we dive into the world of social media bots. You know, those pesky automated accounts that make it difficult to trust anything you see online?
But fear not, the intrepid AI-based social experiment (because what could go wrong with that?) has uncovered a vast network of directed bot traffic, infiltrating everything from American politics to Asian adult content (which the author totally stayed away from, for obvious reasons).
And get this, there’s a Blue Wave propaganda network being spun up again for the 2024 election! Who would have thought? But don’t worry, the author tested a bunch of profiles with his own set of criteria, and concluded that they were definitely bots. Or maybe not.
Bot prediction tools are useful, but maybe should not be relied on exclusively, especially with the current push by Elon Musk to lock down and pay for much of the platform. So, there you have it folks, just another day in the exciting world of social media botnets!
For Real
The video describes a social experiment that used AI-generated content to create a false identity in order to highlight the dangers of human beings losing control of reality due to not being able to trust anything seen online.
The experiment involved using bonded social media accounts to create the appearance of authority, and the creator discovered a directed bot network that was inflating follower counts. They then used Twitter’s API and a program called geffy to analyze results and visually graph the composition of the botnet interactions.
The creator found a nearly 10-year widespread democratically aligned Blue Wave propaganda network that was used in 2016, 2020 and is being spun back up right now for 2024. The network contained integrated bot traffic that focused on political, adult, or crypto themes, and had ties to Indian politics, American politics, adult content, and crypto.
The creator discovered that there is a tremendous bot network that has now been spun up twice and is gearing up again for the 2024 election.
The video also includes a sponsorship message for Cook Unity… So there’s that!
Let’s Sing Along
On the brink of losing control,
Online content takes its toll.
AI-generated identities,
Spreading false info with ease.
A social experiment tried and true,
Exposed the dangers we’re going through.
Bots, bots, everywhere we see,
Fake followers, fake activity.
From politics to adult content,
These networks are fully bent.
Democratic propaganda,
Is the aim for the bot agenda.
Thanks to Geffy and Twitter’s API,
We got to the root of the lie.
Cook Unity’s sponsoring this fight,
Fresh meals to keep us energized.
Don’t trust what you see online,
Bot networks are the new landmine.
Stay vigilant, stay aware,
Or reality will soon disappear.
