WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:08.759 The following presentation is Adel Marvis Studio's production. You're listening to the Fact Hunter 2 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:15.480 Radio Network. Here is your host, George Hobbs. Welcome back truth seekers 3 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:20.480 from around the world. It's time for a very special edition of the Flat 4 00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:26.039 Earth Files midweek edition. I hope everybody has been enjoying the content. I 5 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:32.439 appreciate all the emails, phone calls, voicemails, and I certainly need to 6 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:40.280 catch up and bring you a voicemail slash email episode. I have everything set 7 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.719 up ready to go. I just need to sit down and get through it 8 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.119 and execute it. But I came across an email today and I wanted to 9 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.600 share it with you. In my thoughts, I think this is another quote 10 00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.439 unquote rabbit hole we need to revisit and take another look at and maybe you 11 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.520 know, group think, and because I think it does play a integral part 12 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.640 of this process of flat Earth. But before we do, I wanted to 13 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.480 thank Ben for sending me this link. Of course, last month in December, 14 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.640 in the early part of the month, we had the great debate between 15 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.640 Pastor Odal and Pastor Lock, and just a few days ago, if you 16 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:23.640 weren't tracking this, the roof actually collapsed at the Global Vision Bible Church and 17 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.680 this is from w k r N News too. Roof of a Wilson County 18 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.519 church collapses this evening because of the snow. Kendall as from is at the 19 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:37.959 WKRN dot com alert esk with new information. Kendall passor Greglock with Global Vision 20 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.439 Bible Church took to Facebook Live to share the damage. The church now worships 21 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.760 underneath the tent in Wilson County. This has barked controversy for neighbors with concerns 22 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.480 over noise. Well. On Facebook Live tonight, pastor Lock shows how the 23 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.519 weight of the snow fell through the tent, creating a giant hole in part 24 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.519 of the roof and buckling down the HVAC system. Master Locke says the integrity 25 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.040 of the structure sure is now worthless and we'll cast them around one hundred and 26 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.200 fifty thousand dollars to fix for breaking news around the court. And there you 27 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:12.080 go. And again we don't wish ill will on anyone whatsoever. I just 28 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.840 thought that story would interest a lot of people. It's still you know, 29 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:22.479 this cold spell is still wreaking havoc across the country. You know, we're 30 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.639 i think we were down to six last night. We still have snow on 31 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.120 the ground. We have another storm coming tomorrow. The chickens are not pleased. 32 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.879 But again, the other day, Pastor Locke's Global Vision Bubble Church roof 33 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.000 collapsed. He said the damage was one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I 34 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:46.639 cannot say whether or not that you know the frame and the HVACT damage could 35 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.199 be that much. Maybe it's a rough estiment, maybe it is. I 36 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.199 haven't seen the place in person, but I know there has been an update 37 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:04.039 last night. The local courtyard Marriott actually provided the one in Mount Juliet outside 38 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.360 of Nashville, did donate one of their large spaces for them to worship last 39 00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.800 night. Well, I guess it's Tonight's Wednesday night. So they're adapting and 40 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.599 overcoming, and it looks like that they will according to the story, that 41 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:25.879 they will be back in their tent this Sunday for their service. So luckily 42 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:30.560 no one got hurt. And I just wanted to put that out there because 43 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:35.560 I still get emails to this day about that whole situation. So it looks 44 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.400 like they will be up and running again this Sunday. I know a lot 45 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.800 of people reached out to Pastor Locke to let them know that they're praying for 46 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.840 him and hope he can seize the he sees the light, as they say, 47 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.000 So I just wanted to give you an update on that in case you 48 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:55.759 were not aware. So I got an email earlier today from Phil and he 49 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.639 was talking to one of his friends who was kind of on the fence about 50 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.919 flat Earth, and asked him a question that stumped him. He said, 51 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:09.280 if the ice wall was two hundred feet high, how did the Earth get 52 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.840 flooded with it not the depth to submerge every mountain. And he had mentioned 53 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:17.040 that the firmament converges with land somewhere beyond the ice wall, which forms an 54 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:23.319 enclosed system, and it would have filled up. And his friend who he 55 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.439 was trying to convince that I thought of that too, But it conflicts with 56 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.959 Admiral Bird's account of the civilization that he spoke of on his return from Antarctica, 57 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.720 which is their lands beyond the ice wall. And if there is, 58 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:41.120 indeed, then the waters could have made its way out of the enclosed system. 59 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:45.000 And maybe the system isn't enclosed, and you have to you know, 60 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:50.759 we have mentioned Admiral Bird and I have always questioned his official story, so 61 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:56.120 I thought it was important to bring up a few points. And again I'm 62 00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.360 a big fan of group Thinks, so I'd look forward to your guys emails 63 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.759 what your thoughts on this. A lot of myself and the guests that we've 64 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:09.399 had over the last year have mentioned this. I think it's important to mention 65 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.839 that Admiral Byrd's family, They're lineage here in the United States go back to 66 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.639 the sixteen hundreds. They are known as one of the first families of Virginia. 67 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:28.560 And you know, these are the families that recognized Charles the second ist 68 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:35.800 king following the execution of Charles the First, and Charles the Second called Virginia 69 00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:40.680 his old dominion, and that is a nickname that of course still endures to 70 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.279 this day. And the affinity for many early Virginia settlers for the crown led 71 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:50.759 to the term distressed Cavaliers. That term is still around today, the Virginia 72 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:59.439 Cavaliers. So you know, this family lineage goes way way back. His 73 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:06.160 father, Richard Evelyn Bird, Sr. Rubbed elbows with people like Woodrow Wilson. 74 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:12.920 You know a lot of people who were in the note now as we 75 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:18.600 approach this subject. You know, we often talk about another famous man, 76 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.040 Manly p Hall, and he says, when the human race learns to read 77 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:27.360 the language of symbolism, a great veil will fall from the eyes of men. 78 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.319 They shall then know the truth. And more than that, they shall 79 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:38.600 realize that from the beginning truth has been in the world unrecognized. So why 80 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:44.120 do I bring that up? Well, deceit is everywhere, even in the 81 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:53.199 most harmless of things. And I've mentioned before everybody's you know favorite movie groundhog 82 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:58.360 Day, Right, everybody has seen that movie. Well again, groundhog Day 83 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.959 is a freemus say, free mus sonic holiday. When does it take place, 84 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.240 Well, it takes place on February second. Well, what day of 85 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:12.720 the year out of three sixty five is groundhog Day thirty three? It is 86 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.759 the thirty third day of the year. And members of the Puxetoni ground Club, 87 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:23.759 they're the ones that control fill the little Groundhog. They all wear their 88 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:32.639 free Masonic top hats. And the event is actually this Luciferian bastardization of the 89 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:40.720 Festival of Candle Miss which folks celebrated in the presentation of Jesus in the Temple 90 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:45.839 of Jerusalem. And again, candle miss a lot of people aren't familiar with, 91 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.959 is again a holiday commemorating the presentation of Jesus at the temple. It 92 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.839 is based upon the account of the presentation of Jesus in Luke chapter two, 93 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.439 twenty second to four, Verses twenty two to forty. I should say, 94 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:07.639 excuse me, and it mentions the turtle doves the two turtle doves as a 95 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.120 sin offering. But basically thirty three there's the number again, thirty three days 96 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:18.639 after a boy's circumcision is when this celebration happened. And when does it fall. 97 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:26.959 It falls on February the second. So again a lot of mockery in 98 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.720 this world. That's one of the events where people think it's this cute holiday, 99 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.200 but the truth is it goes the rabbit hole, or in this case, 100 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:43.240 I guess the groundhog hole is a lot deeper than presented. And I 101 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:50.120 will tell you. Anybody can take the time to look up the John W. 102 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:56.799 Jenks Hoba Lodge number two seventy six. This is a free Masonic lodge 103 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:03.840 that was constituted way back on March ninth, eighteen seventy five. So this 104 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:11.159 is an extremely old Freemason Lodge in Pucksatawnia, Pennsylvania, and it goes back 105 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:20.440 to March ninth, eighteen seventy five. So let's talk a little bit about 106 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.960 Richard Bird again, whose father, you know, rubbed elbows with very, 107 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.759 very very famous people as well as he did. Because when you're in that 108 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.639 type of family, you're at the top of the food chain. So again 109 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:39.440 we have to look for the numbers and symbols as the disclosure. It's interesting 110 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:45.639 he died on March eleventh, eighteen fifty seventh. Three eleven Issure thirty three 111 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:52.639 and three eleven is famously known for the quote day everything changed, right. 112 00:09:54.240 --> 00:10:01.759 That was the day when they officially labeled coronavirus a panda. That's when they 113 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:07.559 normalized face masks, you know, visiting friends outside six feet apart, working 114 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:15.039 from home, schooling from home. March eleventh, So that thirty three symbolizes 115 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.759 something nefarious about and that just happens to be the day he died, March 116 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:26.080 eleventh, nineteen fifty seven. Now, there are a lot of interesting stories 117 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:31.120 about him, and I think many of the things are stories. Right. 118 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.039 He was said to be the first person to fly over the North Pole, 119 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.440 and I have questions about that, and of course the South Pole. He 120 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.679 didn't fly over the South Pole because there is no South Pole. And just 121 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.919 so you know, the reason I brought all that up earlier about pucksatani phil 122 00:10:50.960 --> 00:11:01.879 and everything else is because Richard Byrd is in the ancient accepted Scottish write a 123 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:07.279 Freemasonry and this is from the Scottish Ripe Boston dot net. I will put 124 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.919 all of these links in the show description. I'm gonna read this article. 125 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:18.879 Masonry has been able to call several prominent figures from history. Brother Some were 126 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.120 major political leaders, while others may have been famous athletes or entertainers. And 127 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:30.399 again the elites of the elites in the music industry, and even in sports. 128 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:35.200 You'll see a lot of the sports that the famous athletes on the cover 129 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.039 of, like SI or whatever, covering one of their eyes. That's one 130 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.639 of the symbols. It goes on to say, but did you know that 131 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:48.279 the first man to listen to fly over the North Pole was a Freemason. 132 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.279 Now you should especially pay attention to this next sentence. It says, that's 133 00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:01.399 right, Richard E. Bird was a proud member of the craft, of 134 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:09.840 the craft, not the club, not the Freemasons, but the craft, 135 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:15.080 and that word should be you should really heed that word and understand the darkness 136 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:20.200 of that word. The craft. Born on October twenty fifth, nineteen or 137 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.120 eighteen eighty eight, excuse me, Bird originally came from Winchester, Virginia. 138 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:26.440 As we said, one of the first families lineage goes back to the seventeenth 139 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:31.919 century. He came from an influential family, and his father served as Speaker 140 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.039 of the Virginia House of Delegates for a time. When he grew up, 141 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:41.320 Bert attended the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. While in school, 142 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.759 he severely injured his right ankle exercising. He was still able to graduate 143 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.799 in nineteen twelve, but this injury would follow him for the rest of his 144 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.480 life. Upon graduation, he was commissioned an ensign in the US Navy and 145 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.519 was assigned to the USS Wyoming and later assigned to the USS Dolphin. And 146 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.840 listen, some of these boasts was actually presidential yachts, and we'll talk about 147 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.440 that later. So the fact this guy got some of the awards he got 148 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:16.360 is a complete joke. In March nineteen sixteen, Bird suffered another foot injury, 149 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.879 which leads to his medical retirement. He stayed in the Navy and was 150 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:28.000 assigned as the inspector an instructor for the Rhode Island Naval Militia in Providence, 151 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.360 Rhode Island. Brother Bird had enough foresight to realize that air travel was going 152 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:39.000 to progress rapidly during his wealth during his life, so in World War One 153 00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.320 he became a naval aviator and earned his pilot's wings in nineteen seventeen. He 154 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.080 had a passion for flying and pioneered different techniques for flying over the open ocean. 155 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.679 At the end of World War One, he was promoted to the rank 156 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.200 of lieutenant. After the war, Bird joined the craft and they're very explicit 157 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:03.720 about it. In nineteen twenty one, he became a member of Federal Lodge 158 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.360 Number one in Washington, DC. So you are in the club. If 159 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.840 you were in number one, that is a huge red flag. In May 160 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.480 nineteen twenty six, Bird and Navy Chief Aviation Pilot Floyd Bennett attempted the first 161 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:24.200 flight over the North Pole. They took off from Salbard, Norway, and 162 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.519 embarked on a fifteen hour flight, where they both returned home. Bird was 163 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:33.519 promoted to the rank of Commander, and both men were presented the Medal of 164 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:41.879 Honor by President Calvin Coolidge. Now, listen, that didn't happen. That 165 00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:48.679 did not happen one bit, one iota, no chance because of the huge 166 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:54.159 magnetation in the North Pole. Like you can fly around the you know, 167 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.159 the Arctic Circle, but nobody's flying over top of it. Okay, you 168 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:07.720 can't because magnet can destroy compasses and all navigation types of equipment. Right. 169 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:16.080 The degree to which these you know, fero magnetic materials can withstand an external 170 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:22.480 magnetic field without just going nuts is limited. And to fly over the North 171 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:31.480 Pole that extreme you know magnet field, it would have not happened. Okay, 172 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.360 it's a complete lie, it's a hoax. He did not fly over 173 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:41.879 the North Pole. And of course we know nobody nobody can fly over the 174 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:46.279 South Pole because it's an ice wall, right, it just can't happen. 175 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.120 So you know, this guy who's in the club wink wank I flew over 176 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.200 the North Pole and he gets the highest honor because he's in the club. 177 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:03.840 After this historic expedition, Bird use his new credibility to obtain funding for other 178 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:10.320 Arctic expeditions. Funding and the North and South Pole. He went on several 179 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:15.720 expeditions between nineteen twenty eight eighteen fifty six. During his last trip to the 180 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:23.480 Arctic, he helped establish the permanent US military presence in Antarctica. During an 181 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:30.519 expedition to the North Pole and a separate expedition to the South Pole, Byrd 182 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:37.200 and his co pilot Burnt Balchin dropped Masonic flags on the two poles, just 183 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:41.000 like the Masonic flags on the Moon right, and Bauchin even added his shrine 184 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:48.279 Fez right his hat. Additionally, during the Arctic expedition between nineteen thirty three 185 00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:55.840 and nineteen thirty five, sixty of the eighty two members were Masons. Sixty 186 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:04.240 of the eighty two members were Freeman. On that trip, the crew established 187 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:11.079 the first Antarctic Lodge, number seven seven seven of New Zealand on February fifth, 188 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:17.400 nineteen thirty five. And as we said, brother Bird passed away peacefully 189 00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:21.920 in his sleep on March eleventh, nineteen fifty seven, in his home and 190 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.759 Beacon Hill. Excuse me, and this guy is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. 191 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:33.960 At the time of his death, Bird had received twenty two citations and 192 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:42.440 special accommendations. Nine which for bravery and two for extraordinary heroism. It's clear 193 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:48.119 that brother Bird lived a full life and did far more than we could fit 194 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.079 in this article. And ladies and gentlemen, if his story is too rich 195 00:17:52.200 --> 00:18:02.440 to believe, that's probably what it is, is a story, his story 196 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:15.599 or history. Brother Bird was a guy again, a story. Obviously he 197 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:21.200 lived, His family goes back, but he's in the lineage. And sure 198 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:25.279 he went down to Antarctica, I believe that. But he didn't fly over 199 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.119 the North Pole. A lot of those are stories to fit the narrative. 200 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:33.519 And these people are willing to take these secrets to the grave. And we're 201 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:41.640 going to talk about more about his other story in a little bit. But 202 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:47.960 let's talk about Bird again. He died March eleventh. But the stories about 203 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:52.519 the North Pole, the South Pole, the Medal of Honor, the Navy 204 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:59.440 Cross. One guy, one guy. You know. He was friends with 205 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:07.240 the four Family. He rubbed elbows with everybody who was anybody. There was 206 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:12.440 something I really wanted to get to because base, Oh, here it is. 207 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:19.799 He received his letter of commendations and his awards for not once but twice 208 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:29.920 plunging fully clothed into the sea to rescue a sailor who had fallen overboard. 209 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:33.240 I mean, come on, out of all the people on the ship, 210 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:37.319 and he was the guy to see two people fall overboard and he saved him 211 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:44.839 both. I just don't buy these stories. His next assignment was the gunboat 212 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:51.440 USS Dolphin, which served as the yacht for the Secretary of the Navy. 213 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:57.000 So this guy, it sounds sexy. I was on the gunboat the USS 214 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.480 Dolphin. What was it. Oh, it was a yacht for the Secretary 215 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:04.480 of the Navy. Right, we would go out and drop and fish. 216 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:11.720 So again, you know, he gets retirement day, medically retired, and 217 00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:18.279 you know all these stories. Operation High Jump the North Pole Flight nineteen twenty 218 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:29.359 six. He had a tri motor monoplane named the Josephine Ford Ford, which 219 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:34.799 was named after the daughter of Ford Motor Company's president, edsel Ford, who 220 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:41.119 helped finance the expedition. Right, what kind of imagine the advertising, Right, 221 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.519 my Ford engine, Thanks to my Ford engine. You know, this 222 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.480 guy, Admiral Byrd, was able to fly across the North Pole fifteen hours 223 00:20:51.519 --> 00:21:03.559 fifty seven minutes, including thirteen minutes spent circling at their farthest north. I 224 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:08.599 mean, where's all the movies about this guy, right, this guy did 225 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:19.720 everything transatlantic flights and then of course the Antarctic expeditions, big deals. And 226 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:30.039 then of course his son, Richard Evelyn Bird the third He actually you know, 227 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:40.920 spent time on one of his expeditions with his father. He was he 228 00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:47.599 accompanied his father on Operation High Jump in nineteen forty six in Antarctica. Oh, 229 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.799 by the way, he worked as a financial advisor with Morgan Stanley. 230 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:59.240 Everybody know who that is. And he married a longtime Massachusetts senator, Leverett 231 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:06.839 Salton Stall, and that guy is someone who is a big time player on 232 00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:11.799 the world stage as well. He was an internationalist, that is the term 233 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.960 they used before the current term globalist. He was big time into international and 234 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:22.920 global policy. Wasn't much of a nationalist, didn't care about domestic policy. 235 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:30.359 And he was the only Republican senator to vote for the censure of Joseph McCarthy. 236 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:37.000 And it's funny how McCarthyism was looked upon so crazily in the fifties and 237 00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:41.559 now as we have this you know, alternate history that we look back on, 238 00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:48.559 you know, maybe McCarthy wasn't so crazy. But that's another podcast for 239 00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.519 another day, but too many dots connect to him being part of the club, 240 00:22:53.960 --> 00:23:00.960 and the infamous TV interview that he did was to it was part disclosure, 241 00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.000 but it was also all you have to do is put five or ten 242 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:10.319 percent of deceit into truth and it will lead people the wrong way. So 243 00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:14.759 this is about ten minutes. I want to play this original interview which I 244 00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.599 believe is from the early fifties with Admiral Byrd and we'll come back and talk 245 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:27.559 about it. It's time for the Launjeene Chronuscope, a television journal of the 246 00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:33.400 important issues of the hour, brought to you every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 247 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.599 a presentation of the lawn Jean wit Nor Watch Company, maker of lawn 248 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:44.119 Jean, the world's most honored watch, and whit Nor distinguished companion to the 249 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:48.559 world honored Lawn Jean. Good Evening. This is Frank Knight. May I 250 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:52.240 introduce our co editors for this edition of the lawn Gene Chronuscope, Larry Lesser, 251 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:59.720 CBS News Correspondent, and Kenneth Crawford, National Affairs editor of Newsweek Magazine. 252 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.039 Our very distinguished guest for this evening is Admiral Richard E. Bird. 253 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.119 The North Pole used to be a no man's land. But these are the 254 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.119 days when by buying a taken on a commercial airline, you can fly across 255 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.680 the North Pole and drink a cocktail at the same time. You're only three 256 00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:21.240 score or more years ago, about thirty five years ago, our guest Tonight 257 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.839 found out whether there was any land north of the North American continent. He 258 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:32.119 made that first discovery flight. And I must say that Admiral Bird, our 259 00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.440 guest tonight, is not only our greatest living explorer, but he's been an 260 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:38.759 inspiration to countless Americans. Adam Bird, you've been to both the North Pole 261 00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:45.119 and the South Pole. Is there any unexplored land left on this earth that 262 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:48.680 might appeal to adventurous young Americans? Ah, yes, there is, and 263 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.640 that up around the North Pole because it's getting crowded up then there because they 264 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:57.519 find out it's really usable, not only to live in, but militarily, 265 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.759 strangely enough, as left in the world today, an area as big as 266 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:08.319 the United States that's never been seen by human being, and that's beyond the 267 00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:14.720 Pole, on the other side of the South Pole from Middle America, and 268 00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.920 it's uh. I think it's quite astonishing that they should be an area as 269 00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.759 big as that unexplored, tremendous. Well, there's a lot of adventure left 270 00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.480 down at the bottom of the world. Whenwell, do you hope to see 271 00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:30.400 that I do? Well? Then will would you say that as that you've 272 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.599 been to both the extremities of Earth? Are these expeditions to such far places 273 00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:40.160 they're getting easier because of modern techniques? Or still is danger still close at 274 00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:44.119 hand? Well, it's a little risky, but nothing like it used to 275 00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.799 be with the old slow planes and the small cruising radios where we had to 276 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.920 put down bases. We replaced the dog teams, and of course that there's 277 00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:59.559 a big improvement. But now the plains go much faster, and they're safer, 278 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:02.960 and they have a much bigger cruising radius. You haven't got the danger 279 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.799 of a terribly heavy load. Admirable. An expedition to which I believe you're 280 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.920 the advisor, is now en route. Uh, what is that expedition doing. 281 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:21.119 Well, that's the Icebreaker Atka and it's a reconnaissance Expedition's going down to 282 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:26.319 the South Pole area to make certain observations and to look for some bases. 283 00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:32.480 They will be back in April and they will report back and upon the information 284 00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:38.720 we get from that undertaking, we will base the bigger expedition that's to follow. 285 00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.559 Is that very definitely planned or is there that is being planned right now? 286 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.920 So I'm willing to say to you that there will be a number of 287 00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:53.880 expeditions that will follow, I think a year after year the bottom of the 288 00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:57.920 world, because the government has really become interested. Well that real bird I 289 00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:02.200 can understand. I think everybody count the interest in the North ball because it's 290 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:06.880 so near our greatest challenger, Soviet Russia. But to why this interest in 291 00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:08.960 the uh bottom of the world and nobody living down there? Is there? 292 00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.799 No, it's it's pretty cold. There's only one permanent resident, that's the 293 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.759 Emperor Penguin. The little ones live further north. I tell you one reason 294 00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:27.240 they're interested. It's by far the most uh valuable important place left in the 295 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:34.359 world for science. That's why the scientific groups all over the nation are really 296 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:40.680 interested. But more important than that, it's uh it has to do with 297 00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:45.200 the future UH of the nation those to come after us or even during your 298 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:53.160 lifetime, because it happens to be an untouched reservoir of natural resources. And 299 00:27:55.440 --> 00:28:00.680 you know, as the world swinks with another increasing acceleration. Far flowing places 300 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:04.039 once useless like we thought the North Pool was and No Man's Land become very 301 00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:11.160 useful. The bottom of the world will be important not only to us but 302 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:14.839 our allies. Does it I was going to ask you, does it have 303 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.519 military importance? It has some. And as the world shrinks, it will 304 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:26.240 continue to shrink with another increasing acceleration, thus bringing these places closer. And 305 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.640 in the future I can see a time when it will be very very important 306 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.680 strategically well. As development of airpower increased, there the strategic importance of places 307 00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:41.839 like the oh very much, very much so. Even now, if anything 308 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:45.799 happened then we lost the Panama Canal, we would have to control the islands 309 00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:52.920 just north of Antarctica, which are part of Antarctica and between the Capeon. 310 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.559 I've heard it said that there are seven confidents in the world and one of 311 00:28:56.559 --> 00:29:00.240 them has ever been seen by a woman, and that's at Octic. Is 312 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:04.079 that actually true? Well, if the power permissioners in Ireland, as far 313 00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:08.640 as I know, that's true, no woman's ever stepped foot upon the Analic 314 00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.440 continent and it's the most peaceful place in the world. Well, I'm sure 315 00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:18.039 that won't last very long. I understand that now that you're working with the 316 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:21.000 UH, the Arnold Bread Company in charge of frozen foods. Now, is 317 00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.559 there any future for frozen foods down these frozen extremities? Well, I think 318 00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:30.079 the UH human race can be helped by that. This was thought out by 319 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:36.160 Dean Arnold, who's UH, in my opinion, the great humanitarian. He 320 00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:41.359 UH learned that we went down there after four or five years and finished a 321 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.599 meal that we had left there on the table when we had evacuated Little America. 322 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.160 Everything was perfect, including the bread. So he got the idea of 323 00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:55.799 this frozen bread, and already we sent some to He sent some to Europe 324 00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:59.720 and just very worked very well over there with some of the starving people. 325 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.200 That's UK. So you can stow it down the Antarctic and against the lean 326 00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:08.200 years, and you wouldn't have any people in the world really starving. If 327 00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:12.079 you did, there's an atomic war. Stay there forever, Admill. You 328 00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.960 speak of the resources of Antarctica, what are they? What? Uh, 329 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:22.640 what are the natural resources there? Well, A, we've found enough of 330 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:29.359 coal within a hundred and eighty miles of the South Pole in a great ridge 331 00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:33.839 of mountains it's not covered with snow enough to supply the whole world for quite 332 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.759 a while. Well, as that's that's the coal. Now there's evidence of 333 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:42.440 the other many other minerals. Uh, we're pretty shore of the oil. 334 00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:47.480 Now that coal shows the bottom of the weld. Now by far the coal 335 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:51.160 is spot in the world where that coal is gets a hundred blow zero in 336 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:55.880 the winter. Well, it was once tropical. So we think there's oil 337 00:30:55.960 --> 00:31:00.359 there, and there's evidence probably uranium there. Is it any secret? Is 338 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.960 there uranium there? That would be the only thing that would be practical to 339 00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:08.440 uh actually go after. I suppose everything else would be economically uh uh unfeasible, 340 00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:12.279 wouldn't it? As well as we recklessly expend our resources, the time 341 00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:17.119 will come when we can we'll have to go after that stuff down there. 342 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:19.480 Well, now I avoided what you said about a uranium. I'm not sure 343 00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:22.240 about that. I don't want to have the will fighting over the end, 344 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.200 doctor, I don't know where is there a competition among other nations to try 345 00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.519 to get information about UH at Arctica and to possibly to secure some of these 346 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:36.119 resources. Well, uh, yes, Uh, then there are seven nations 347 00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:45.079 very much interested. Russia is interested tremendously. Oh that. I'm sure Australia 348 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:51.480 has an expedition down there, the Argentine, the Chile, New Zealand, 349 00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.720 bitten and so on. Now you can understand those people down there being interested 350 00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.440 because they live down there, the New Zealanders, they are your teams, 351 00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:07.440 the Chileans and the Australians and so uh we uh we don't do much about 352 00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:12.880 claiming anything, Admiral, you make sound a little crowded. Uh uh are 353 00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:16.400 are are there that many expeditions now there or en route there? Well? 354 00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:20.880 You know, as I said, it's the most peaceful place in the world, 355 00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:23.519 but I don't think it will be for long because of this intense interest 356 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:30.359 on the part of uh of other nations and this nation are private. Expedition 357 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.519 is a thing of the pastor is it is expedition and exploration? Making expedition 358 00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:38.160 and exploration now purely a government function, because I don't think so. I 359 00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:43.359 think down south it may be more or less the thing of the past, 360 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:47.240 but not other other expeditions that go there's a lot of them going off. 361 00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:52.440 Now. This latest expedition now on the way is a government expedition. I 362 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.359 take yes, that's the government robergman ask you, is there a great difference 363 00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:59.519 between the top of the world and the bottom of the world. Uh? 364 00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:04.200 There is now the the north pole is the center of an ocean ten thousand 365 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:09.119 feet teep. The south pole the center of a plateau ten thousand feet high. 366 00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:15.119 The north pole of sea is surrounded by continents, is slightly frozen. 367 00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:22.400 The Anarctic continent is surrounded by uh, a belt of ice frozen seas of 368 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.599 at least twelve hundred and I'll sick now. The south is a plateau. 369 00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:31.640 It gets in some places fourteen thousand feet up. Uh. I've been over 370 00:33:31.680 --> 00:33:38.720 areas about thirteen thousand, and it's a little bit chili up there. So 371 00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:44.000 there's uh, there's that big difference between the top and bottom of the world. 372 00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:46.319 I don't think the north really isn't very cold up there on the Offtic 373 00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:50.240 Ocean I compared itself. I don't know where. We often here said that, 374 00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:54.279 uh, young Americans now aren't as hardy as their forefathers. Do you 375 00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:59.640 think that Americans do measure up to the standards, uh, the physical standards 376 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.599 and morale standards of the past. I do. I don't believe that. 377 00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:07.359 I think they're just atotic. Well, what would you say with the most 378 00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:13.920 uh valuable factor or expedition? Is it uh morale or a physical courage, 379 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:20.880 or is it uh it's your equipment. Well, I've always thought that loyalty 380 00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:25.639 was by far the most important trait. The British told me that when I 381 00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:30.280 first went down twenty eight, I couldn't possibly get through the winter night without 382 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.400 a mutiny if I took more than twenty men. But to serve science, 383 00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:37.239 I had to take forty two men, and then I took fifty six the 384 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:43.000 next time, and so on so and I did find that loyalty was the 385 00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.400 most important thing during the winter night, when it's very hard on your nerves. 386 00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:52.199 Is uh? I think that's that's true. Well, that's a very 387 00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.400 valuable characteristic any time. I thank you very much, Animal Bird. It's 388 00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:59.320 been a great pleasure to have you here tonight. It's a pleasure to be 389 00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:05.000 with you, Admiral Richard E. Bird rare interview. I think it's interesting 390 00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:13.639 that the company that sponsors this TV show was the long Chronoscope Company, which 391 00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:21.440 has been run by the Gases family, which goes back to the early seventeen 392 00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:25.280 hundreds from of course, where of all places Switzerland, and they are the 393 00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:30.440 same company who in the eighties, I think in nineteen eighty three brought the 394 00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:37.880 swatches, you know, those watches from the eighties into play. They needed 395 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:42.920 to rebrand themselves. They did quite well for about a decade, and then, 396 00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:46.480 you know, as eighties fashion kind of subsided as well, did the 397 00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:50.719 swatches. I think they're still out there, they're just not as prevalent as 398 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:52.800 they once wear. And listen, everybody has a cell phone now that has 399 00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:55.639 a timer on it, so not everybody wears watches. I'm old school. 400 00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:01.039 I have the old Casio digital watch that I wear. That's just I always 401 00:36:01.119 --> 00:36:07.480 have had that type of watch, especially in the military. But I'd love 402 00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:12.880 to hear your thoughts. Obviously, surely after Operation High Jump, we know 403 00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:19.079 the Antarctic Treaty came about. Here's an interesting tidbit for you one of those 404 00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:29.679 did you knows Antarctica has no permanent population. Okay, no permanent population, 405 00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:37.360 so therefore it has no citizenship or government. Now we talk about the one 406 00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:45.280 square mile city of London, and right, not actual the entire city of 407 00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:51.960 London, but there is London City where all of the financial buildings are held 408 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:54.480 within this one square mile. They have their own mayor, they have their 409 00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:59.599 own rules. The same with Washington, DC, the same with the Vatican, 410 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.159 and actually, up until recently, as most of you may know, 411 00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:06.639 it was the same with Disney World in Florida. Did you know they had 412 00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:10.039 their own rules, their own police, their own government down there, But 413 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:19.679 they had a tiff with the governor and they lost some some of their basic 414 00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.159 sovereignty, I guess you could call it. And how they came upon all 415 00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:30.320 that land in Orlando was very interesting as well. Everybody knows Disney has Club 416 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:36.079 thirty three, which has white and black tiles, much symbolism, and it's 417 00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.880 quite a waiting list. You have to be in the club and it's I 418 00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:45.800 think twenty five g's to apply, and it's ten thousand dollars a year and 419 00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:47.800 you have to be part of the club to get into that restaurant in Disney. 420 00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:57.119 But again, down there there's no citizenship or government, so they're able 421 00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:02.320 to get away with things down there that they can't on other sovereign lands. 422 00:38:02.760 --> 00:38:09.039 Personnel who are present on Antarctica at any time are citizens or nationals of some 423 00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:16.119 type of sovereignty. Outside of Antarctica, there is no Antarctic sovereignty. There's 424 00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:22.679 no laws down there. Again, a couple takeaways of what we just heard. 425 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:28.239 Number One, it was always for science, right, it's for science, 426 00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:32.880 and there if you look hard enough, YouTube always takes it down. 427 00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:38.760 There's the talk of the blue ice in Antarctica. A lot of people think 428 00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:42.920 it's the firmament which you can't break through, but some people say they've been 429 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:45.760 able to get some pieces off and they've been trying to reverse engineer what's in 430 00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:52.000 that. Again, this is just I'm spitballing here. You know. Of 431 00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.119 course they talked about uranium, they talked about oil coal. None of that 432 00:38:55.199 --> 00:39:04.480 makes any sense to in those temperatures to harvest that much cold, get it 433 00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:07.960 to a port through all of that cold and snow, and then you know, 434 00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:13.559 ship it to wherever that that's just not feasible. And then he also 435 00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:19.960 mentioned at one time it was tropical down there that that seems awful misleading to 436 00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:25.719 me as well, you know, all these untold resources. So again I 437 00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:30.639 think there's a little bit of truth sprinkled with a lot of lies. And 438 00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:37.840 of course, you know, we're so fervently angered with our longtime nemesis Russia, 439 00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:40.960 who for four years from nineteen forty one to nineteen forty five we became 440 00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:47.400 best friends with but the second that war ended, we became mortal enemies again. 441 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.199 And we all we had a draft, right, We had this fantasy 442 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:57.880 draft with the Russians of who gets which scientists with Operation paper Clip, and 443 00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:02.679 we became bitter enemies again. Except for what outer space. Air quotes outer 444 00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:10.800 space and Antarctica, right, and they say the Antarctic Treaty is considered to 445 00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:17.199 represent an example of the common heritage of mankind. So we'll put all our 446 00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:27.559 other, you know, issues away with these countries except for Antarctica and outer 447 00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:36.639 space. As they say, they say that as far as the United States, 448 00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:40.400 the law of the United States, including certain criminal offenses by or against 449 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:46.559 US nationals, such as murder, may apply to areas not under jurisdictions to 450 00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:53.360 other countries. To this end, the United States now stations special US Marshals 451 00:40:53.400 --> 00:41:00.519 in Antarctica to provide a law enforcement presence, which is very interesting. We 452 00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:07.280 are the world police, So why not write very interesting stuff, very very 453 00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:09.719 interesting stuff. Anyway, That's all I really had for today. I wanted 454 00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:15.400 to take another look into the story of Admiral Bird and of course, and 455 00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:21.199 of course you know that diary, I think, and again it was I 456 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:24.880 think presented well after he had passed by his son. But at the same 457 00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:30.000 time, I think it's important to play. We'll play the audio version and 458 00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:34.039 I'll leave the link in the show notes as well if you'd like to listen 459 00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:36.800 to it again, or to send it with somebody if they don't want to 460 00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:39.360 listen to the entire podcast. But I think this is a lot more deception 461 00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:43.880 from a family. Again, look at that has been part of the club 462 00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:47.480 for hundreds of years. So, without any further ado, here is Admiral 463 00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:53.920 Bird's secret diary. Admiral Richard Byrd was a highly regarded explorer and in nineteen 464 00:41:54.000 --> 00:42:00.599 forty seven he headed the operation High Jump down to Antarctica, and after he 465 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:05.519 passed, his son found his diary and published it. And here is an 466 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:10.440 excerpt from the diary itself. Flight log, Base Camp, Arctic, February 467 00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:15.840 nineteenth, nineteen forty seven, six hundred hours. All preparations are complete for 468 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:22.519 flight north and we are airborne with full fuel tanks at six ten hours six 469 00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:28.440 twenty hours. Fuel mixture on starboard engine seems too rich. Adjustment weighed and 470 00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:34.400 pratt neate Whitney's running smoothly. Seven thirty hours. Radio check with base camp. 471 00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:39.079 All is well and radio reception is normal. Seven forty hours. Note 472 00:42:39.199 --> 00:42:45.480 slight oil leak on starboard engine oil pressure indicator seems normal. However, eight 473 00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:52.559 hundred hours slight turbulence noted from easterly direction at altitude of twenty three twenty one 474 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:59.920 feet. Correction to seventeen hundred feet. No further turbulence, but tailwind increase 475 00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:07.000 is slight adjustment in throttle controls. Aircraft performing very well now. Eight fifteen 476 00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:14.119 hours. Radio check with base camp. Situation normal. Eight thirty hours turbulence 477 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:19.559 encountered again. Increased altitude to twenty nine hundred feet. Smooth flight conditions again. 478 00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:24.400 Oh nine ten hours. Vast ice and snow below. Note coloration of 479 00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:30.960 yellowish nature and disperse in a linear pattern, altering course for a better examination 480 00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:37.760 of this color pattern below note reddish or purple color. Also circle this area 481 00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:44.280 two full turns and return to assigned compass heading position. Check made again to 482 00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:50.679 base camp and relay information concerning coloration of the ice and snow below. Oh 483 00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:55.480 nine ten hours. Both magnetic and gyrocompasses beginning to gyrate and wobble. We 484 00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:00.079 are unable to hold our heading by instrumentation take bearing with the sun compass. 485 00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:05.679 Yet all seems well. The controls are seemingly slow to respond and have sluggish 486 00:44:05.760 --> 00:44:12.320 quality, but there is no indication of icing. Nine fifteen hours in the 487 00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:19.920 distance is what appears to be mountains. Ninety nine hours twenty nine minutes elapse 488 00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:23.679 flight time from the first sighting of the mountains. It is no illusion there 489 00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:30.239 are mountains and consisting of a small range that I've never seen before. Nine 490 00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:37.039 to fifty five hours altitude changed to twenty nine to fifty feet encountering strong turbulence 491 00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:43.199 again, we are crossing over a small mountain range and still proceeding northward as 492 00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:46.679 best as can be ascertained. Beyond the mountain range is what appears to be 493 00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:52.599 a valley with a small river or stream running through the center portion. There 494 00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:58.559 should be no green valley below. Something is definitely wrong and abnormal here. 495 00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:02.880 We should be over ice and snow to the port side, our great forests 496 00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:10.960 growing on mountain slopes. Our navigation instruments are still spinning. Ten oh five. 497 00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:15.840 I alter altitude to fourteen hundred feet and execute a sharp left turn to 498 00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:21.800 better examine the valley below. It is green with either moss or type of 499 00:45:21.880 --> 00:45:25.400 tight knit grass. The light here seems different. I cannot see the sun 500 00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:30.360 anymore. We make another left turn and we spot what seems to be large 501 00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:34.760 animal of some kind below. It appears to be an elephant. No, 502 00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:39.760 it looks more like a mammoth. This is incredible, yet there it is 503 00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:46.000 Decrease altitude to one thousand feet and take binoculars to better examine the animal. 504 00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:52.239 It is confirmed it is definitely a mammoth like animal. Report this to base 505 00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:58.639 camp. Ten thirty hours encountering more rolling green hills. Now the external temperature 506 00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:04.519 indicator reads se tventy four degrees fahrenheit. Continuing on our heading now, navigation 507 00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:09.119 instruments seem normal. Now I am puzzled over the actions. Attempt to contact 508 00:46:09.159 --> 00:46:15.920 base camp radio is not functioning. Eleven thirty hours. Countryside below is more 509 00:46:16.000 --> 00:46:21.320 level and normal, if I may use that word. Ahead, we spot 510 00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:25.639 what seems to be a city. This is impossible. Aircraft seems light and 511 00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:32.639 oddly buoyant. The controls refuse to respond. My god, off our port 512 00:46:32.679 --> 00:46:38.079 and starboard wings are strange type of aircraft. They are closing rapidly alongside. 513 00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:43.920 They are disc shaped and have a radiant quality to them. They are close 514 00:46:44.000 --> 00:46:47.039 enough now to see the markings on them. It is a type of swastika. 515 00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:52.320 This is fantastic. Where are we? What is happening? I tug 516 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:58.119 at the controls again. They will not respond. We are caught an invisible 517 00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:02.840 vice grip of some type. A radio crackles and voice comes through in English 518 00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:08.719 for what it perhaps is a slight Nordic or Germanic accent. The message is 519 00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:15.880 welcome, Admiral to our domain. We shall land you in exactly seven minutes. 520 00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:19.800 Relax, Admiral, You're in good hands. I note the engines of 521 00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:23.280 our plane have stopped running. The aircraft is under some strange control and is 522 00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:30.840 now turning itself. The controls are useless. Eleven forty hours. Another radio 523 00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:35.719 message received. We begin the landing process now, and in moments the plane 524 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:42.480 shudders slightly and begins to descend, as though caught in some great unseen elevator. 525 00:47:43.199 --> 00:47:46.760 The downward motion is negligible, and we touch down with only a slight 526 00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:52.079 jolt. Eleven forty five hours. I'm making a hasty last entry in the 527 00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:58.639 flight log. Several men are approaching on foot toward our aircraft. They are 528 00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:04.320 tall with blonde hair. In the distance is a large shimmering city pulsating with 529 00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:07.360 rainbow hues of color. I do not know what is going to happen now, 530 00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:14.320 but I see no signs of weapons and those approaching. I hear now 531 00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:19.719 a voice ordering me by name to open the cargo door. I comply and 532 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:24.400 log. From this point on, I write all the following events here for 533 00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:30.679 memory. It defies the imagination and would seem all but madness if it had 534 00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:36.000 not happened. The radio man and I are taken from the aircraft, and 535 00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:40.159 we are received in a most cordial manner. We then board it on small 536 00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:46.039 platform like conveyance with no wheels. It moves us towards the glowing of the 537 00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:51.599 city with great swiftness. As we approach, the city seems to be made 538 00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:55.840 of crystal material. Soon we arrive at a large building that is a type 539 00:48:55.880 --> 00:49:01.159 I have never seen before. It appears to be right out of the design 540 00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:07.639 board of Frank Lloyd Wright, or perhaps more correctly, out of a Buck 541 00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:12.599 Rogers setting. We are given such type of warm beverage, which tasted like 542 00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:19.360 nothing I've ever savored before it is delicious. After about ten minutes, two 543 00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:24.000 of our wondrous appearing hosts come to our quarters and announce that I am to 544 00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:29.840 accompany them. I have no choice but to comply. I leave my radio 545 00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:32.199 man behind, and we walk a short distance and enter what seems to be 546 00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:37.840 an elevator. We descend downward. For some moments, the machine stops and 547 00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:44.400 the door lifts silently upward. We proceed down a long hallway that is lit 548 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:50.559 by rose colored light and seems to be emanating from the walls themselves. One 549 00:49:50.599 --> 00:49:53.639 of the beings motions to us to stop before a great door. Over the 550 00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:59.559 door is an inscription that I cannot read. The great door slides noiselessly open, 551 00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:04.480 and I beckoned to enter. One of my hosts speaks, have no 552 00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:10.079 fear, Admiral, you are to have an audience with the Master. I 553 00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:15.239 bid you welcome to our domain. Admiral. I see a man with delicate 554 00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:19.880 features and with the etching of years upon his face. He is seated at 555 00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:22.559 a long table. He motions me to sit down in one of the chairs. 556 00:50:23.119 --> 00:50:27.679 After I am seated, he places his finger tips together and smiles. 557 00:50:28.239 --> 00:50:31.119 He speaks softly again, and conveys the following. We have let you enter 558 00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:36.719 here because you are of noble character and well known on the surface world. 559 00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:43.280 Admiral, surface World, I half gasped under my breath. Yes, the 560 00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:47.760 Master replies with a smile. You are in domain of the Ariiani, the 561 00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:52.320 inner world of the Earth. We shall not long delay your mission, and 562 00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:55.719 you will be safely escorted back to the surface and for a distance beyond. 563 00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:00.199 But now, Admiral, I shall tell you why you have been summoned here. 564 00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:07.360 Our interest rightly begins just after your race exploded the first atomic bombs over 565 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:13.039 Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. It was at that alarming time we sent our 566 00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:17.880 flying machines, the flugel Rods, to your surface world to investigate what your 567 00:51:17.960 --> 00:51:22.119 race had done. That is, of course past history now, my dear 568 00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:27.800 Admiral, but I must continue on. You see, we have never interfered 569 00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:32.079 before in your race's wars and barbarity, but now we must, for you 570 00:51:32.079 --> 00:51:37.400 have learned to tamper with a certain power that is not for man, namely 571 00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:43.280 that of atomic energy. Our emissaries have already delivered messages to the powers of 572 00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:47.119 your world, and yet they do not heed. Now you have been chosen 573 00:51:47.199 --> 00:51:53.519 to be witness here that our world does exist. You see, our culture 574 00:51:53.559 --> 00:52:00.800 and science is many thousands of years beyond your race. Admiral erupted, But 575 00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:05.159 what does this have to do with me, sir? The Master's eye seemed 576 00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:07.960 to penetrate deeply into my mind, and after studying me a few moments, 577 00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:14.320 he replied, your race has now reached the point of no return, for 578 00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:20.320 there are those among you who would destroy your very world rather than relinquish the 579 00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:25.039 power as they know it. I nodded, and the Master continued. In 580 00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:30.360 nineteen forty five, and afterward we tried to contact your race, but our 581 00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:37.360 efforts were met with hostility. Our flugelods were fired upon, yes, even 582 00:52:37.400 --> 00:52:42.320 pursued with malice and animosity by your fighter planes. So now I say to 583 00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:45.599 you, my son, there is a great storm gathering in your world, 584 00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:50.840 a black fury that will not spend itself for many years. There will be 585 00:52:50.920 --> 00:52:54.039 no answers in your armies, there will be no safety in your science. 586 00:52:54.719 --> 00:53:00.280 It may rage on until every flower of your culture is trampled and all human 587 00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:05.760 things are leveled in vast chaos. Your recent war was only a prelude to 588 00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:10.480 what yet to come for your race. We here see it more clearly with 589 00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:16.719 each hour. Do you say I am mistaken? Then he gestured with a 590 00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:22.760 lovely slender hand a motion of peace, and our meeting was truly ended. 591 00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:27.280 Quickly we walked back through the great door of the Master's chamber and once again 592 00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:31.320 entered into the elevator. The door slid silently downward, and we were once 593 00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:37.800 going upward. One of my hosts spoke again, we must now make haste, 594 00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:40.800 Admiral, as the Master desires to delay you no longer on your schedule 595 00:53:40.880 --> 00:53:46.360 timetable, and you must return with this message to your race. I said 596 00:53:46.400 --> 00:53:51.719 nothing. All of this was almost beyond belief, and once again my thoughts 597 00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:54.800 were interrupted. As we stopped. I entered the room and was again with 598 00:53:54.880 --> 00:54:00.760 my radio man. He had an ancient anxious excit expression on his face. 599 00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:05.599 As I approached. I said, it's all right, howie, It's all 600 00:54:05.719 --> 00:54:10.719 right. The two beings motioned us toward the awaiting conveyance. We boarded and 601 00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:15.079 soon arrived back at the aircraft. The engines were idling, and we were 602 00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:22.400 boarded immediately. The whole atmosphere seemed charged now with a certain air of urgency. 603 00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:28.119 After the cargo door was closed. The aircraft was immediately lifted by the 604 00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:32.119 unseen force until we reached an altitude of twenty seven hundred feet. Two of 605 00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:38.719 the aircraft were alongside for some distance, guiding us on our return. I 606 00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:45.400 must state here the airspeed indicator registered no reading. Yet we were moving along 607 00:54:45.440 --> 00:54:51.920 at a very rapid rate. Two fifteen hours a radio message comes through. 608 00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:58.599 We are leaving you now, Admiral. Your controls are free. We watched 609 00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:05.239 for a moment as the flugel rods disappeared into the pale blue sky. The 610 00:55:05.280 --> 00:55:09.760 aircraft suddenly felt as though caught in a sharp downdraft for a moment. We 611 00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:15.239 quickly recovered her control. We do not speak for some time. Each man 612 00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:22.239 has his thoughts. Entry and flight low continues. Two twenty hours we are 613 00:55:22.239 --> 00:55:25.039 again over a vast area of ice and snow, and approximately twenty minutes from 614 00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:30.239 base camp. We radio them. They respond, We report all conditions normal 615 00:55:31.239 --> 00:55:37.559 normal. Base camp expresses relief at our re established contact. We land smoothly 616 00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:46.239 at base camp. I have a mission and log entries. March eleventh, 617 00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:52.159 nineteen forty seven. I have just attended a staff meeting at the Pentagon I've 618 00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:57.280 stated fully my discovery and the message from the Master. All is duly recorded. 619 00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:01.760 The President has been advised. I am now detained for several hours six 620 00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:07.679 hours thirty nine minutes to be exact. I'm interviewed intently by top security forces 621 00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:13.119 and a medical team. It was an ordeal. I am placed under strict 622 00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:19.000 control via the national security provisions to this United States of America. I am 623 00:56:19.119 --> 00:56:23.719 ordered to remain silent regard to all that I have learned on the behalf of 624 00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:30.400 humanity. Incredible. I am reminded that I am a military man and must 625 00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:39.639 obey orders. December thirtieth, nineteen fifty six. These last few years elapsed 626 00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:45.079 since nineteen forty seven have not been kind. I now make my final entry 627 00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:51.800 in this singular diary. Inclosing, I must state that I have faithfully kept 628 00:56:51.840 --> 00:56:57.280 this matter secret as directed all these years. It is it has been completely 629 00:56:57.360 --> 00:57:01.679 against my values of moral right. Now I seem to sense the long night 630 00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:07.039 coming on, and the secret will not die with me. But as all 631 00:57:07.079 --> 00:57:13.079 truth shall, it will triumph, And so it shall. This can be 632 00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:15.719 the only hope for mankind. I have seen the truth, and it has 633 00:57:15.880 --> 00:57:22.480 quickened my spirit and has set me free. I've done my duty towards the 634 00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:28.559 monstrous military industrial complex. Now the long night begins to approach, But there 635 00:57:28.559 --> 00:57:31.079 shall be no end. Just as the long night of the Arctic ends, 636 00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:36.760 the brilliant sunshine I have truth shall come again, and those who are of 637 00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:40.880 darkness shall fall in the light. For I have seen the land beyond the 638 00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:49.679 Pole, that center of the great unknown. And there you go. And 639 00:57:49.719 --> 00:57:52.559 then, of course we know that you know. Back in May nineteen ninety 640 00:57:52.559 --> 00:58:00.639 six, seventy years after the famed polar explorer Richard Byrd, who claimed in 641 00:58:00.719 --> 00:58:02.840 nineteen twenty six to have been the first person to fly over the North Pole, 642 00:58:04.360 --> 00:58:07.119 actually turned back two hours and one hundred and fifty miles short of his 643 00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:13.400 goal. Of course, they found this mislabeled box at Ohio State University. 644 00:58:15.159 --> 00:58:17.000 There's just a lot of contradictions to the whole story, but we'd love to 645 00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:22.679 hear your thoughts. I hope this gave you something to think about again. 646 00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:25.239 To me, it seems like it's a little bit of truth with a little 647 00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:30.559 bit of diversion, to say the least, to get you off the beaten 648 00:58:30.599 --> 00:58:36.039 path. To can continue to confuse us about where we live in which most 649 00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:38.920 of us listening believe we live on a flat plane where the water is held 650 00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:45.480 in by the walls of Antarctica, and we lived in an enclosed system known 651 00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:51.000 as the firmament. It's clearly explained in the Book of Genesis. So again, 652 00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:53.119 I'd love to hear your thoughts. You can send us an email The 653 00:58:53.159 --> 00:58:59.599 Flat Earth Files at gmail dot com, send us a voice message either through 654 00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:02.840 hour or speak pipe message system, which can be found on the website The 655 00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:08.039 Flatterarthfiles dot com.

What are your 658 00:59:17.159 --> 00:59:23.599 thoughts on the Lost Diary of course, the book written ten years ago, 659 00:59:23.719 --> 00:59:30.400 The Secret Lost Diary of Admiral Richardy Bird and the Phantom of the Polls High 660 00:59:30.519 --> 00:59:37.039 Jump Antarctica. What's actually going on down there, Carrie going down there on 661 00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:43.360 election Day? Love to hear your thoughts anyway, God bless you all. 662 00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:47.360 Tomorrow night's episode it'll be a late late drop, but we'll have it up 663 00:59:47.400 --> 00:59:52.280 by Friday morning for sure. Another interview and then we'll have another for you 664 00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:55.960 Sunday evening. God bless each and every one of you again. Have a 665 00:59:57.039 --> 01:00:01.559 great week and we'll talk again real soon. We'll see you. You are 666 01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:08.119 listening to the Fact Hunter Radio Network. Just the facts, ma'am.
