  • Transparent Solar Panels Will Turn Windows Into Green Energy Collectors

    Transparent Solar Panels Will Turn Windows Into Green Energy Collectors

    Researchers from Michigan State University developed completely transparent solar panels, which can have numerous applications in architecture, and other fields like mobile electronics or the automotive industry.

    Researchers have tried to create such a device before as well, but the final results were never satisfying.

    The team focused on the see-through factor, so they developed a transparent luminescent solar concentrator, or TLSC, which can be placed over a clear surface like a window. It can harvest solar energy without affecting the transmittance of light.

    The technology uses organic molecules which absorb light wavelengths which are not visible to the human eye, such as infrared and ultraviolet light. Richard Lunt, assistant professor of chemical engineering and materials science at MSU’s College of Engineering, says:

    “We can tune these materials to pick up just the ultraviolet and the near infrared wavelengths that then ‘glow’ at another wavelength in the infrared. The captured light is transported to the contour of the panel, where it is converted to electricity with the help of thin strips of photovoltaic solar cells.”

    Since the vertical footprint is bigger than the rooftop one, especially in glass towers, these devices could make the most out of the buildings’ facades. They would not affect the architectural design but will represent a far more efficient technology.  Yet, they can also be integrated into old buildings as well.

    According to the New York Times:

    “If the cells can be made long-lasting, they could be integrated into windows relatively cheaply, as much of the cost of conventional photovoltaics is not from the solar cell itself, but the materials it is mounted on, like aluminum and glass. Coating existing structures with solar cells would eliminate some of this material cost.

    If the transparent cells ultimately prove commercially viable, the power they generate could significantly offset the energy use of large buildings, said Dr. Lunt, who will begin teaching at Michigan State University this fall.

    “We’re not saying we could power the whole building, but we are talking about a significant amount of energy, enough for things like lighting and powering everyday electronics,” he said.”

    Further research has been funded by the Center for Excitonics, an Energy Frontier Research Center financed by the Department of Energy.

  • Nick Sandmann’s Lawyer Sends Letters To These 54 Entities For Potential Lawsuits

    Nick Sandmann’s Lawyer Sends Letters To These 54 Entities For Potential Lawsuits

    Attorneys representing Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann and his family indicated on Friday that they have sent letters for potential lawsuits to over 50 entities ranging from Democratic politicians to celebrities to media figures.

    “The legal counsel representing Nick and his family, Todd McMurtry and experienced libel and defamation lawyer L. Lin Wood of Atlanta, have said they will seek justice for the harm allegedly done to the teen,” The Enquirer reported. “McMurtry is with the law firm of Hemmer Defrank Wessels and has practiced law in Greater Cincinnati since 1991. He said a team of seven lawyers has been working full-time to review the media accounts of what happened.”

    The letters come in response to the media’s smearing of Sandmann after a selectively edited clip of an incident on January 19, 2019, went viral that showed Sandmann standing face-to-face with Native American Nathan Phillips, who was beating a drum in Sandmann’s face.

    The Enquirer added: “This week they have prepared documentation preservation letters addressed to organizations and individuals they believe may have defamed or libeled Nick with false reporting.”

    “They know they crossed the line,” McMurtry said. “Do they want 12 people in Kentucky to decide their fate? I don’t think so.”

    The list of entities that letters were sent to includes:

    Hours after the initial clip, which was only several seconds long, went viral on social media, longer videos began to emerge that showed the initial way the incident was framed was misleading and false. The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti reported:

    The three-minute video was posted online by a group of Native American protesters who claimed they were harassed and intimidated by a group of Covington Catholic High School students waiting for their bus near the Lincoln Memorial. The video is heavily clipped at the beginning and end, and shows only an apparent “confrontation” between a protester named Nathan Phillips and a Make America Great Again-hat wearing teen. …

    Saturday night, a two-hour long, full video of the confrontation became widely available on social media, and that video shows a very different interaction than the one initially portrayed. The video, taken from the point of view of a second group of protesters who witnessed the interaction, shows that Phillips approached the teens — not the other way around, as Phillips claims — and that the teens were relatively peaceful during the incident, laughing and clapping along with Phillips’ drumming, and occasionally asking questions like, “what is going on here?”

    The Daily Wire further noted that “the Covington Catholic students were verbally attacked by a designated hate group that called them ‘Child molesting f**gots,’ ‘Dirty a*s crackers,’ ‘Future school shooters,’ and ‘Incest babies.’”

  • Poland is pushing the EU into crisis

    Poland is pushing the EU into crisis

    Poland is changing. Every year the country celebrates its national Independence Day in the capital, Warsaw. There are parades and speeches But in 2017, Poland’s Independence Day made worldwide news because of these signs: 60,000 people showed up for a march led by Nationalist and white-supremacist groups. That’s because they have reason to celebrate, too. Poland’s right-wing political party, PiS, is in power. After winning the Presidency and a majority in Parliament, they’ve ignored the constitution, Taken over the courts, purged the military, and cracked down on the media. PiS is bringing authoritarianism back to Poland and openly rebelling against the European Union. It’s a shocking turn for a country that, just a few years ago was hailed as one of Europe’s most promising young democracies.

    So, how did this happen? And can it be stopped? It was an old story to the Polish population – conquest, subjugation, enslavement. it had happened before in Poland’s troubled history but never with such inhumanity Poland had a traumatic 20th century. It was invaded twice during World War Two. First by the Germans and then by the Soviets… …who re-established the country after the war, but as a communist state under their control. In fact, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin directly contributed to a draft of Poland’s constitution, which was formalized in 1952. These are his handwritten notes. For the next several decades, Poland developed very little while it was cut off from the rest of the world. It became one of several Soviet-backed, communist countries in Central and Eastern Europe that made up the Soviet bloc.

    The rest of the Soviet bloc soon followed. This posed a challenge for Western Europe. We cannot aim at anything less than the union of Europe as a whole and we look with confidence for the day that union is achieved Since the end of World War Two, the continent’s democracies had been growing closer; signing free trade deals that became the precursor to today’s European Union. At first, the trade deals just covered coal and steel, but as they grew to include agriculture, energy, and other markets, more countries joined– making Europe more economically and politically integrated than it had ever been before. As the former Soviet bloc countries started establishing democracies of their own; Western Europe needed to find a way to include them. So in 1993, the established EU countries came up with a strict checklist for admitting new members. New member-states needed to have a free market economy, respect human rights and the rule of law.

    Meaning courts had to be independent and impartial– so everyone could get a fair trial. These EU rules helped bring former-communist countries in while also keeping them from sliding back into authoritarianism. They were designed to keep the peace in Europe. Poland joined the EU in 2004 and because of Solidarity’s success it became one of the most promising new member. Poland was given more money than any other EU country which it used to build highways, schools, hospitals, and modern infrastructure.

    The country’s economy grew more than any other ex-communist country. Each year after it joined, Poland received millions of Euros to help fund highways, schools, hospitals, and modern infrastructure. By 2014, Poland became one of the EU’s strongest and most resilient members. It even avoided the recession in 2009 that crippled economies worldwide. Polling showed 72% of Poles were satisfied with EU membership. More than any other member state. Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski: “Ladies & Gentleman, 10 years ago we joined the European Union. We did not become part of the EU on a whim. We became part of the union because we put in tremendous efforts to build a democracy and a free market economy; two pillars of a united Europe.” And Poland’s charismatic, pro-EU Prime minister, Donald Tusk, was chosen to become president of the EU’s European Council.

    But in his absence, leaders with a very different vision for Poland’s future rose to power. In 2015 PiS, Poland’s right-wing party, shocked the world and won an absolute majority in the parliament. Since 2001, PiS had been led by former-Solidarity leaders Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who felt that Poland’s center-left parties had become elitist and corrupt. It appealed to Poland’s conservative population in rural areas. PiS only earned 38% of the vote in 2015, on par with the previous election results, but after Tusk left for the EU, his coalition of center-left parties fell apart, making room for the right-wing party to take over.h According to PiS, after decades of Soviet control, Poland was now being controlled by the EU. So when it came into power, it pledged to take back Poland’s independence … legally or illegally. The party already controlled BOTH HOUSE OF Parliament and the Presidency, so it initiated a hostile takeover of the judicial branch. First it packed this Constitutional court with loyal judges and then forced out more than a third of the judges in this other court. Both acts were illegal under the Polish constitution, but the PiS-majority parliament and Presidency signed them into law anyway.

    The party also fired over 11,000 civil-service workers and at least 280 military officers, calling them ex-communists. It cracked down on the media. It started leveling fines on news organizations when it didn’t like their coverage. Meanwhile, it’s been using Polish nationalism to justify these moves. Remember this 2017 controversial march? A PiS politician called it “a beautiful site” While the party cracked down on protests against their authoritarian moves. As PiS tightened its grip on Poland, the EU issued several warnings to stop it from breaking its rules…. But PiS ignored them. “It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to initiate Article 7.1”, “But the facts leave us with no choice.” In December 2017, the EU invoked Article 7– its nuclear option– for the first time in its history.

    It allows the EU to strip a member of its voting rights if it feels it is breaking the criteria it established in 1993. // a significant number of laws have been adopted… which put at serious risk the independence of the judiciary and separation of powers, in Poland//. According to the EU, the PiS purging of the courts violates the country’s commitment to respecting the rule of law. The problem for the EU is that Article 7 is not going to work. The punishment requires a unanimous vote by all EU countries — and there is one country that has sworn to protect Poland… Hungary, another former Soviet bloc country, has taken a turn towards authoritarianism under President Viktor Orban. And he vowed to veto any punishment against Poland. So PiS continues to systematically strip… on Poland while still receiving huge sums of money from the EU. It’s proving that a member country can stay in the EU, reap its economic benefits, while ignoring its rules on rule of law.

    PiS is proving that it’s possible to reap the economic benefits of EU membership while flouting the rule of law. And that has sparked an existential crisis for the EU… The rules that were written to prevent authoritarianism from ever re-appearing in Europe, aren’t being followed, and there’s not much it can do about it. The EU could try cutting off Poland’s funding but it’s unclear how that would work.

    So for now, the EU remains in a crisis. For decades it’s tried to keep Europe democratic. But Poland, once the EU’s most promising new addition, is Is now threatening to unravel the whole thing. .

  • A Pop-Up Japanese Cafe With Robot Servers Remotely Controlled by People With Disabilities

    A Pop-Up Japanese Cafe With Robot Servers Remotely Controlled by People With Disabilities

    Hello World! Today we find ourselves at a robot cafe in Japan, but it’s not the robot cafe you’re thinking of. This cafe’s servers are OriHime robots. I’m Takemura from the Public Service Projects Department at Nippon Foundation. We help people with disabilities find work. This cafe is operated by people with ALS and other severe disabilities that remotely control the robots. Hello, konnichiwa, hello! Welcome to Japan! Please take your drinks one by one from my tray.

    It’s hot, so please be careful. Thank you very much. Please feel free to use the sugar and milk on the table. People with ALS slowly lose their ability to control their muscles. And at some point, they’ll need to use a breathing machine to live, and without technology, they’ll need a helper to do most things. The concept that everyone only has a single body never felt right to me. If we had more than two bodies we could do a lot of things. There are 3 people who control their avatars only using eye movements. So people with ALS who can only use their eyes can operate robots. Oh, right, these two here use their hands to operate their avatars.

    So this cafe was a trial cafe running for only two weeks, but the aim is to launch a permanent cafe by the time the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games come to town. The workers are located all over Japan and can see, hear, and talk with the customers via their avatars over the internet. Where are you from? From Canada. – Ah Canada! – Vancouver, do you know Vancouver? Maple syrup. I’m from Gifu. Ah Gifu! I have never been to Gifu yet. My name is Naoko Kazu (Katsu?) – Naoko Kazu (Katsu?)! – Please call me Naa-chan Ah, Naa-chan.

    Nice to meet you. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu. Nice to meet you too! Onegaishimasu. My company makes body double robots. So called “avatars” in English. Using those avatars, people who are hospitalized could do… for example I didn’t go to school for 3 1/2 years, but if I had this avatar, perhaps I could have looked at the blackboard, listened to the teachers, and interacted with my fellow classmates. I could have been to field trips, and together, enjoyed school festivals. I should explain, that even though Yoshifuji san is healthy now, at age 11 he became ill. At this time he wasn’t good at communicating with people and was bullied.

    My life was like a living hell. I couldn’t even step out of my house. I only stared at my ceiling. There were times that I wanted to die. We want to eliminate people’s loneliness. Because when you can’t participate in society, you feel loneliness. Then how can you participate in society? So we made avatars. And how can we use the avatars we made? With telework, being at home, you could get a job and develop stuff, but it can be really difficult without a lot of knowledge. It’s also difficult to get connections because you don’t meet people.

    You need a place to meet people, interact with them, and spend time together. So we created a cafe. Yuka-san, can you see over here? Yes, I can clearly see everyone’s clothes. Yeah, everyone has their camera on me. I can see very well. I have ALS, which doesn’t allow me to freely move my muscles. But I can still use my hands right now. So I can still use my mouse to control things. When I have a tracheotomy and can’t talk on my own, there’s a talk button I can use. I will talk using it. What are you talking about? What are you doing? (alternate translation) What’s going on? (another translation) Something like that. At first, they were shy with no confidence, but as time went by they started to gain confidence, which was a happy surprise. Even though it’s a robot, at the beginning it was as if they were looking down.

    But now it’s like they’re standing up straight with confidence. Unexpectedly, customers really enjoyed the experience, which we were happy to see. I’m also very happy, thank you very much! Thank you! I’m so glad to know that you like cheese and mabo dofu. That’s right. By 2020, you might see them working at ANA check-in counters, and actually we’ve been talking with a coffee company, In 2020 people visiting Japan from all over the world may be able to see OriHime working in various places.

    Now Japan is an old society where people live for a long time. Average life expectancy is very long in this country. But the reality is that there are people living with tubes, prolonging their life, whether or not they’re conscious, treatment is the main goal. But using this technology, my friends with ALS can go places using their avatar robots, operating them with their eyes. There are ALS patients that can work at a place like this, and in fact there are those who are already working and making money. Living in bed, not able to talk, only using their eye movement, people can communicate using SNS, putting their art into art exhibitions. There are people like that. Of course, there are no right answers. For a human being, it’s important that someone needs you. But one day our bodies will eventually stop working.

    Then if we had another body, in the future we could take care of ourselves (using our avatars). Bye bye. Thanks for watching, see you next time, bye! How is technology being used to give people independence where you’re from? .

  • The 2018 State of the Union in 4 minutes

    The 2018 State of the Union in 4 minutes

    Less than one year has passed since I first stood at this podium. I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people. African American unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded. The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining eight trillion dollars and more in value in just this short period of time. This in fact, is our new American moment. There has never been a better time to start living the American dream. We have eliminated more regulations in our first year than any Administration in the history of our country. We have ended the war on American energy and we have ended the war on beautiful clean coal. We are now very proudly an exporter of energy to the world. America has also finally turned the page on decades of unfair trade deals, that sacrificed our prosperity and shipped away our companies, our jobs, and our wealth.

    The era of economic surrender is totally over. We built the Empire State Building in just one year. Isn’t it a disgrace that it can now take 10 years just to get a miner permit approved for the building of a simple road? The sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber is to defend Americans, to protect their safety, their families, their communities, and their right to the American dream, because Americans are dreamers too. We must modernize and rebuild our nuclear arsenal, hopefully never having to use it, but making it so strong and so powerful, that it will deter any acts of aggression by any other nation or anyone else. In the past, we have foolishly released hundreds and hundreds of dangerous terrorists only to meet them again on the battlefield.

    So today I’m keeping another promise. I just signed, prior to walking in, an order directing secretary Mattis, who is doing a great job thank you, to re-examine our military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities in Guantanamo Bay. I am asking Congress to pass legislation to help ensure American foreign assistance dollars always serve American interests and only go to friends of America. And freedom stands tall over one more monument. This one. This Capitol, this living monument. This is the monument to the American people.

  • 5 Reasons Why Finland Is A Global Education Leader

    5 Reasons Why Finland Is A Global Education Leader

    Within the usa, we love to brag about becoming no. 1 Except when it comes to training that’s where we on a regular basis rank around 37th worldwide Frankly, most of us are fortunate we can cause USA sufficiently to chant it in sporting events nevertheless know very well what country does consistently price the best worldwide in training? Finland. It Seems That. That is right. The tiny Nordic country best known for providing the world Nokia phones, angry wild birds and terrible heavy metal music is truly a leader in globe training just does Finland have the highest highschool graduation price in European countries but on Global exams, Finish college students regularly rank around the very top in Reading, mathematics and research in addition to Finns do this without overloading young ones with endless hours of homework or turning class into meaningless drudgery. Why does Finland have the most ass-kicking informative system on earth Here are the 5 reasons that arranged Finland aside factor number 1: No kid gets left. Actually. Finland provides all individuals specially low income individuals with an enormous social safety net the final government directs a pitty box of items to each and every household with a baby kid following from that point on, childcare is greatly subsidized permitting most individuals to send their children for some kind of early childhood training Finland’s community schools in addition concentrate on ensuring every student achieves standard competence in topics which they study whereas within the united states college students and class districts are expected to vie against one another for limited sources, undoubtedly producing a method of winners and losers this difference between approach is just one of the main reasons why the achievement gap that is present between the rich and poor in US schools is more compact in Finland than anywhere else worldwide cause number two.

    They’re just like more chill man. Finnish kids don’t even begin class until they change 7 and once they’re in school they get nearly triple the actual quantity of recess time as US college students. They truly are seldom designated homework until high-school and they hardly ever simply take standardise exams actually, Finnish college students are only necessary to simply take one standardise test and that isn’t up until the end of highschool cause Number three. Teachers are now actually (get this) respected getting a teacher isn’t really effortless in Finland there are just 8 universities offering the Masters programes necessary to make a teaching credential and only one out of ten individuals get acknowledged so it is no surprise that instructors in Finland receive about the same amount of regard as doctors and solicitors plus, courtesy powerful unions, Finnish instructors only spent 4 hours daily in classroom and simply take couple of hours a week for specialist development additionally they need not handle merit pay which was the main cause behind lots of much talked about instances within the united states where instructors and administrators cheating on standardise exams cause number 4.

    They believe significantly less is more. and I’m rhyming today Finns believe when it comes to training, patience, hands-on reading and emphasizing problem-solving tend to be more vital than listening to lectures, meaningless examination preparations and memorization of info that college students will probably forget once they leave the exam place I’m sure it’s a very insane concept correct? following Finnish instructors don’t race through lessons to stuff the maximum amount of information as you possibly can into college students heads to ensure the college students are able to spit that information right back on a standardise examination instead they provide priority to moving gradually and using the maximum amount of time as essential to thoroughly research fewer subject areas in a lot greater depth cause number five: They have fewer social ills Finland may not be the socialists utopia every Bernie Sanders voter dreams intensely about but it’s very near almost everyone in Finland is middle class so earnings inequality is not almost the trouble indeed there as opposed in the US nearly all Finnish young ones arrived at school well fed, rested and able to learn there aren’t any steel detectors, no police patrolling the institution hallways and certainly none for this Finland comes with a lot less immigrant college students that’s kinda like Donald Trump’s fantasy I guess singular in forty college students in Finnish schools features immigrant moms and dads contrast that number for the United States community schools where that figure is one in five that means there are perhaps not almost as many young ones in Finland schools that happen to be learning mathematics, technology and background in an absolutely brand-new language mostly well in addition learning that brand-new language itself therefore should we in the US just admit the Finns know training better than we would and go on and abandon our system and embrace theirs? Needless to say not.

    That’s absurd For one thing where would we discover sufficient instructors exactly who talk Finnish? zing but what we have to confess is that when it comes to training we just lack all the responses and in case we do we’d most likely cheated to have all of them There’s numerous techniques to study on countries like Finland which do circumstances really in different ways but I have a proven track record of attaining greater results we just need to be much more ready to accept exactly what informative innovators are performing worldwide whenever we could only prevent shouting ‘we are no. 1″ for a lengthy period to concentrate for an alteration

  • 5 Interesting Chinese New Year Facts

    5 Interesting Chinese New Year Facts

    Xīnnián kuàilè! (新年快乐) to all of you~ (aha~ I butchered it didn’t I?) Anyways that means Happy New Year in Chinese and the Chinese New Year is coming real soon. So here are facts about the Chinese New Year to give a general understanding about it. 1. The date is always changing What I mean is that, the date of the Chinese New Year doesn’t use the normal calendar of January to December, which people call the Gregorian calendar or Western calendar. So rather than using the Gregorian calendar, the Chinese lunar calendar follows the lunar cycle of moon phases where the start of the day is at midnight and the start of the month is when there is a new moon. Now, the Chinese New Year always fall in between the end of January and early February which they call the start of spring. Currently, the Chinese calendar is not used on a day to day basis because the Gregorian calendar is used universally.

    But the Chinese calendar are mostly used for important dates such as traditional Chinese holidays like the moon festival and the hungry ghost festival. They are also used for selecting lucky days for weddings, funerals, starting a business and other important events in life. 2. Each year has an animal representative Well, 1 animal per year and 12 in rotation. There’s a folklore story about how that came to be and I’ve actually made a video about it. So you could go and check that out later. So, this Chinese New Year, which is said to be on the 8th February 2016, will be the year of the monkey. Currently, while I’m making this video, it is still the year of the goat. Now, the animals in the 12 year rotation are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and the pig. Here are the list of years and the animals they correspond with. And apparently, it is believed that the year you were born or the animal year you were born under could determine some of your luck, prosperity and even personality. A bit like the Astrology Zodiac signs and the horoscopes. 3. Red packets They are red packets or envelops filled with money that people give to acquaintances.

    It’s a gesture for wishing someone good wishes and good luck. Its not really the money that is significant but instead wrapping money in a red wrapping is the main thing here. So it is usually rude to check the contents of the envelops in front of the giver. The red packets are usually given by those who are working or those who have gotten married, anyone else does not need to give the red packets. Those who should be given red packets are the elders especially parents and grandparents, young people such as your own children, your friend’s children or your relatives or any acquaintances who needs it. So mostly you give red envelops to those who have no or less income than you as a gesture of kindness and wishing the best would come for them. Thus, how much you should give can range between $5 to however generous you are.

    4. New Year sales and celebration The Chinese New Year is celebrated more like Christmas than the new years because that is the time when shopping is done and the New Years sale is the best. So, if you’re planning a shopping holiday, think of the East and South East Asian countries during the Chinese New Year season for a good experience. The sales are crazy during this time because it is the time of the year for the house to be decorated with new things and be rid of old stuff to welcome the new year with a fresh and clean start.

    It’s also a way for the business owners to do a good deed, because : karma. Then other than new things for the new year, they would also need to decorate the house with a new years theme like how people during Christmas decorates the house all Christmas-y. They would decorate the house with red lanterns, new year paintings, banners of good wishes at the door frame and more. Food would also be cheap during this time because, what is a celebration without food? So during new years eve, this is when people have a family reunion and have a big feast while waiting for the new year to come. 5. Fire crackers and the monster Once upon a time, as stated in legends, there was a monster that would come out in the first night of Spring, which we now know as the New Years Eve. The monster’s name was Nián and it would destroy their homes, farms and maybe even, you know, feed. Apparently they like children, probably because they’re easier prey. So people were scared of the monster, they usually just hide or flee at the sight of it and it just became a common yearly occurrence.

    But one day, the night of the first Spring, while Nián was approaching the village, villagers were burning some bamboo to keep themselves warm, so loud pops and crackles could be heard. To their surprise, Nián did not attack them that night. So they did it again the next year and again Nián did not attack. So since then, to ward themselves from the monster, they made it a yearly thing to make loud noises every new year’s eve. Now rather than bamboo burning, people light fire crackers and fireworks to create loud noises as a tradition and the lion dances that you see during Chinese New Year, it originated from the legend of the Nián. Also, “Nián” became the word for “Year”, so again I say, Xīnnián kuàilè! (新年快乐) to all of you~~

    Trump nominates acting Secretary of Interior to serve in role officially

    President Donald Trump has announced by tweet that he is nominating the current acting Secretary of the Interior, David Bernhardt, to serve in the role officially “David has done a fantastic job from the day he arrived,” Trump says of the acting secretary, who came into the role after Trump’s former embattled secretary, Ryan Zinke, departed from the role at the end of last year “I am pleased to announce that David Bernhardt, Acting Secretary of the Interior, will be nominated as Secretary of the Interior David has done a fantastic job from the day he arrived, and we look forward to having his nomination officially confirmed!” Trump tweeted Monday Critics have said Bernhardt is too close to his former clients who he sometimes represented in cases against the Interior Department Bernhardt recused himself from some of those topics but some of the recusals have expired, opening him up to work on policies that he formerly challenged on behalf of his clients Activists have pointed to meetings Bernhardt had with former clients to allege that they are playing too big a role in policy decisions at the department Environmental advocacy groups and democrats compare Bernhardt to Andrew Wheeler, who took over for former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt after a bevy of ethical scandals They say, like Wheeler, Bernhardt has more know-how about how to work within an agency and will pursue the same agenda outside the spotlight, which could make it harder for opponents to push back against policy decisions During his confirmation hearing, Bernhardt said Trump’s policy positions could outweigh science on climate change

  • Why is Finland building an underground city?

    Why is Finland building an underground city?

    We’re under the streets of Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and I’m going to show you the elaborate tunnels and passageways they have. A lot of it is public space that looks like they’re sporting fields. People use this all the time and yet you can see the granite rock and the fact that this space can be turned into bedding for 1,500 people in three days. That’s the time limit they give themselves to turn this from a sporting field into a shelter if required. We’re going to walk through here, I’m going to show you some of the other tunnels, because they go right across, underneath the streets of Helsinki. It’s all part of their civil defence. They won’t say that it’s to do with a threat, possibly from Russia, it could be a nuclear attack, it could be chemical warfare, it could be anything. But they want to be prepared. So now we’re coming into one of the other tunnels. Have a look at this – these are the beds that they have prepared, bunk beds that people can sleep on. They’ve got medical equipment ready, and then over here this is how they would go to the toilet. So the toilets would be here, they’ve got the ventilation up there. The yellow lines on the floor are where each of the toilets would be put. And have a look at that tunnel there behind me, so you can imagine this runs all the way, if we kept following this, you would keep coming into some of those public areas that could be sporting fields, or swimming pools, areas that can be easily turned into some kind of shelter for the people of Helsinki. They could fit 700,000 people in here, that’s more than the entire population, if they have to. They maintain them very well, they make sure they’ve got their own air supply in case it is a nuclear accident from eastern Europe, and they have to come down here and protect themselves. They make sure that they’ve got everything set and ready to go. They are more advanced with this than just about any other city in Europe, and although they share this massive border with Russia, and there is this question about whether Russia is a threat to Finland, they say they’re taking into consideration any worse case scenario, and they’re ready for it.

    US Government Legalizes Lying To The American People

    Announcement by Congress an incredible law passed that has gotten no media coverage but we have the legislative record right here a bill was passed executive orders were signed by a traitorous president to turn full control of the corporate MSM media over to the Defense Department and the Central Intelligence Agency to legally take taxpayer money and pay CNN The Washington Post The New York Times your local TV station your local newspaper to lie to the American people I I just couldn’t believe that this was passed and it got no coverage in 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 but oh my goodness I have a memory something that Gruber and others say is the only thing holding back their take over I had it in foreign affairs of the CFR public affairs in the Washington Post I had it in Business Insider The Associated Press and I had the bill in 2012 Obama got a bill passed to allow domestic lying by the CIA and other agencies against the American people and now eight years later seven years later we see the aftermath why does the establishment both right and left one Infowars band why do they fear because we have a memory I’m going to show you the mainstream news articles and the bill and the executive order right now you can look it up for yourself where seven eight years ago 2012 a law was passed in the Defense Authorization Act legalizing the government lying and paying with taxpayer money for fake news against the people but what’s even more fantastical is what I’ll cover in about five minutes as you see when Obama lost because that was his old power structure when Hillary didn’t get in two and a half years ago he signed executive orders putting two billion dollars into the propaganda fund to counter Infowars President Trump and others so this is Business Insider this is May 21st 2012 and seven years ago India legalizes the use of propaganda on US public run by the CIA go read it let’s show you another article here’s an article right here lifting of u.s.

    Propaganda ban gives new meaning to old song beyond operation Mockingbird and the Frank church committee hearings here’s one out of public affairs put up by The Washington Post u.s. repeals propaganda ban spreads government made news to Americans you thought our press was can corrupt before this is everything and again this was in 2012 2013 Barack Hussein the long-legged mack daddy Obama taking your taxpayer money to have this happen US Senate panel okay’s funds to fight online propaganda Voice of America News so now the voice of America doesn’t battle the Russians or the Shyam’s it battles the American people let’s fast forward to 2016 Trump’s 1 November rates Obama’s only got three months left in office he leaves January 20th Trump’s give me inaugurated what do you do you use the repeal on propaganda – now put two billion dollars in to set up groups and operations to engage in the takedown of the duly elected president and there it is right there Obama quietly signs the countering disinformation and propaganda Act into law establishing his own Orwellian system and again you say well Trump’s the president well he doesn’t know the bureaucracy works this is the next year’s fiscal funding into 2016 Obama funds 2017 but in defense spending many of the bills are to three years up so this all ended 2018 in December and the total funding into the next month in 2019 so that’s why this is so important you’re about to get the big secret all these BuzzFeed people in Newsweek people and Huffington folks post being laid off you don’t know what happened I’m gonna tell you right now it’s all in the legislation you didn’t know you were getting the CIA money of course most of you do you’re being coordinated by them and again stay behind groups these are not spies work it’s not the whole CIA two billion dollars 160 plus million in just one payment that was triggered in 2017 where Obama funded the newspapers and publications why do you think the newspapers and publications were so unified in their hate it from so unified in their lives so unified in their attacks on me it would come out that Facebook and Twitter and Google would coordinate in private meetings for weeks what they were about to say about me because they bow down to the CIA and FBI counter intelligence and said Jones is a Russian agent they had congressional hearings with no proof but they say Oh Jones works for RT in Putin so we’re gonna do this so we’ve been hit by two billion dollars not just us but Franklin Graham got banned off Twitter Facebook everybody else has been hit but we were we were the main target and and this got pointed out at one of our researchers Harrison Smith just a few days ago and I looked into it I was like oh my god two years ago the funding began in January of 2017 zoom in on this for TV of yours and then a week ago to the day we had thousands of layoffs and left his publications everywhere and now they’re announcing more because in one tranche it was a hundred and sixty million in the effort to quote foreign in the in the effort to quote counter foreign propaganda but they defined in the House Intelligence Committee and the House Defense Committee and the House Armed Services Committee and the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee that I’m a Russian agent how was it called I couldn’t speak no proof was shown but they said it because they had to say it in front of everybody because that was the funding mr.

    Armstrong you’d mentioned in your answer to I think Miss Spears question that there are other RTS operating in the US can you describe them list them sure thank you so you have RT you have Sputnik you have roughly and then I think you have them feeding other entities Infowars comes to mind where those are echo chambers for those those modalities so by saying I’m a Russian agent and Trump’s a Russian agent with no proof they could enact outside of regular judiciary law and jurisprudence in due process emergency powers that are legitimate if you’re facing a real foreign enemy – then sue us fund lawsuits fund fake news and shut us down so I’m proud of the enforce family I’m proud of our listeners I’m proud of our viewers I’m proud of my family I’m proud of this crew and I mean that on my knees to you you’re so amazing that we have literally faced the Pentagon the CIA and the criminals that have I ejected and for two years we have withstood total boycotts harassment lawsuits black ops things that I won’t even say on-air they’re so insane I mean this is beyond movies no one can make a movie about this we have a stood to billion dollars of attacks it hasn’t just been us that we’ve been the main target because if they can demonize pure Americana founding red-blooded 1776 on steroids if they can come after that and label that as an enemy they can do it to anybody but by the grace of God we have withstood and now thousands of layoffs they’ve announced thousands more coming next week all the corporate mainstream media laying off everywhere saying the funding ended and here it is in the two billion and the hundred sixty million that was just in the first tranche that’s the New York Times I’m showing you think about that that is just absolutely historical and incredible cuz you know I don’t think of myself as the catch of you know I’m just a loyal American and a free-market person that believes in Christianity and just believes in America and III I went to college and all they did was badmouth the country and tell me how bad mothers and fathers were and how bad George Washington was and I just said man towards Washington ain’t perfect but he had announced a tongue your hand off Hitler I’m sick of your crap I’m gonna fight you and the fact that we’re just a little organization and that we’ve come so far against these people gives me a lot of hope I guess in these dark hours for us personally I don’t take that as weakness this is incredible strength the fact that we’re this little ragtag band they’re so scared of us shows they can be beaten very easily and we stood up against two billion dollars of their lives and our listeners you stood with us against all their censorship and all their cowardice and despite that it’s like the star-spangled banner’ after that big barrage at night all the British ships attack at the fort flag was shot up I think I’ve seen that flag the Smithsonian all shot up tore up and it’s so much more beautiful and that’s what’s amazing about this is these people are weak they can’t even kick a little operation set up my Texan they can’t even beat that these people are ready to be defeated so god damn and I told him 100 times and I’ll tell them again it’s such a pleasure to fight these people and I don’t get tears in my eyes cuz I’m sad or I’m broke I get tears by us because I get so damn close to God every time I fight these bastards and that’s why I don’t know why more you don’t join us because if you joined against these evil sons of bitches you meet god my this is such a simple decision to make all the chalk on money all the EU money all those boy rape and child molesting goddamn demons in Hollywood can’t even beat a little Infowars but we were ready to stand up we were ready to fight and it’s that spirit they can’t stand and they think they’ve extinguished the spirit they’ve only turned it on ten thousand times those furnaces and those engines if you step up and ask God to make you a leader in this fight God’s ready to turn that energy loose but you’ve got to decide you want that and you’ve got to decide you’re willing to take these people on and you’re committed and that’s all you’ve got to do it’s actually pathetic that these globalists pieces of crap can’t even do anything with all our money and all our power and everything our ancestors did and they got us mesmerized watching their stupid television set and their Hollywood crap and made us forget who we were watching the infinite NFL and a bunch of jerk-offs but as humanity remembers who it was and as humanity comes up from the bottom these globalists are in a lot of trouble you know I look at people like Jack Dorsey or Twitter trying to act like a trendy in a man I look at Joe Rogan his whole life trying to act like a man all they are is establishment cooks men that roll over to other men that roll over to other men that roll over the devil and so I look at all this and I see the week their funding ends you know we tried to get Trump to kill this funding but he’s surrounded by traitors and it gets into spending it’s very complex to kill a bill that’s already funded I get that but the propaganda money ended this last week that’s what’s scary about that it’s also enduring is it imagine you get billions of dollars to go pay reporters a hundred thousand dollars a piece on average to sit around and talk crap about America and the flag and our veterans and everything and it’s just he makes you think god you’re not them and you look at the project Veritas videos internally at YouTube and Facebook and Twitter and they send in these sex operatives to interview them and they and they go who’s your enemy and it’s always some weird mental you lookin dude white black Hispanic doesn’t matter and they go they’re pro-life they’re pro-gun they like America they like Alex Jones they’re all a bunch of scum and you pull back and you just think thank God we’re not these people tribe bet on humanity I believe in you but beyond what happens in this dimension it’s the decisions we make now that decide where our energy where our soul like follows like where we go and so I look forward to being an eternity with all of you I know we have a spirit I know our energy never dies I am so blessed to be there with you but I love you and I have to focus on the evil try to stop it but I want to know unless you know I’m focusing on you right now and I see your spirit I see your soul I see you and I know how beautiful you are and these enemies are so mad they chose wrong they’re trying to take our children with them they’re trying because they can’t get adults they’ve already chosen God so their whole focus is getting kids little and hurting them and tricking them and getting them but they’re not going to get them they’re all damned to hell for their attempt so you think about that they’ve legalised lying to you and they’ve now done it and just everyday think yourself you’re not Hollywood every day thank god you’re not a traitor against your own speciation thank God that you’re awake and love God because that’s the most valuable thing in the universe is that you can judge good from evil the fact that you resonate with God and justice that’s that’s the victory that’s the value that’s everything not that you your car broke down or your clothes are old or whatever you’ve got cancer it doesn’t matter you love God you hate evil you love children you hate pedophiles you’re a vampire killer that’s who you are and you are gonna live with God for eternity the enemy is already defeated all it can do is try to clog you down into their spider hole and that’s why you’ve gotta bail out victorious and challenge the enemy I gotta say it I get mad at people like Joe Rogan because I knew he was evil all along and I just get mad to know that he’s completely lost in people like Jack Dorsey so we’re not mad at him for not including us at their banquet we’re not in their banquet because we don’t want to be in their banquet they’re talking about us if they’re little fetid bank one because they know they bought five seconds now where they can play the fact that they’re King and God on this planet because eternity goes on forever after that so you saw some pretty prestigious stuff here hiding in plain view I remember reading seven years ago what are they gonna do legalize and propaganda we know what’s going on but God why would you legalize it there’s that’s because they were gonna give your tax money to the media to say if you believe the country is good or you believe in free market you’re a racist they went and they bought the media with your tax money and that gives you a stake to say that’s wrong that makes you someone that has standing for lawsuits it’s beyond racketeering it’s the story of our lifetimes and it’s hiding right there in plain view just like China and Google and all of it it’s hiding right there so if you just simply take that in your own hands you take action on information you’ll change the world all right thanks for the crew thanks to everybody that’s here tonight we’re gonna send this out live obviously as we are once it’s archived the only way gets out and around the censorship only way it info wars.com one way it’s not like oh you’re being patted on the head like oh you’re part of the solution you are the conduit you are the atmosphere you are the weapons system you’re everything if you don’t take this live video once its archived if you don’t share this live feed if you don’t email it and text it and and and send it to people you know if you don’t do whatever it is you do with it then you let life die in the darkness and you let these people continue doing what they’ve done but you know what I don’t want to be overconfident with people here we can’t lose it’s important for you to be involved in this victory spiritually we’ve already won my friends but I’m telling you I want you to experience this the
