Speaker 1: Oh that's are hello, and welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: This is the Cult of Conspiracy and I'm the Cage
Speaker 2: to Night and today we wanted to take a little
Speaker 2: moment to discuss a wild conspiracy that may some of
Speaker 2: you may have heard of, some of you may not.
Speaker 2: As it is getting into the Mardi Gras season, you know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of decorations, there's a lot of makeup,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of costumes, a lot of floats in
Speaker 2: our area of the woods, and all of them seem
Speaker 2: to have an obsessive amount of glitter on them. We
Speaker 2: love glitter, I mean most people do. I, for one,
Speaker 2: am not a fan. I see it as the herpes
Speaker 2: of arts and crafts. You never get rid of it,
Speaker 2: no matter how much you clean, no matter how much
Speaker 2: you mop, no matter how much you vacuum. Somehow, six
Speaker 2: months from now you're gonna find some specs of it
Speaker 2: and you're gonna be like, where the fuck did this
Speaker 2: glitter come from? And be like, oh my god, it's
Speaker 2: from that one ur project that we did last summer.
Speaker 2: Why why is it still here? You never get rid
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 3: It's because it's microplastic.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, indeed, which that does tie into some of
Speaker 2: the conspiratorial conversation today. Some of it is microplastics, some
Speaker 2: of it is considered edible. What you're going to talk
Speaker 2: about that. Some of it is mineral based, mica base,
Speaker 2: some of it is sugar based. We're going down this
Speaker 2: rabbit hole, and all of it really from a twenty
Speaker 2: eighteen situation where allegedly there was a global shortage of glitter.
Speaker 2: Now was that accurate? Who's to say, right, But apparently
Speaker 2: there was enough precedence of this to where a New
Speaker 2: York Times article was written about why there is a
Speaker 2: global shortage of glitter when it's primarily being made from
Speaker 2: two companies both based out of New Jersey, all right,
Speaker 2: Which the thing is really.
Speaker 3: Odd that both companies are based out of New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Not far from each other either, No, they're like down
Speaker 3: the street from each other, which is really strange because
Speaker 3: they have no connection to each other same county. So
Speaker 3: I don't really understand why of all the places, New
Speaker 3: Jersey is the hub apparently, but I think that ties
Speaker 3: into some of their friends that they sell to, which
Speaker 3: we will get into.
Speaker 2: So with this, this New York Times article was written,
Speaker 2: and the Internet conspiracy was born now, how much of
Speaker 2: this is based in reality, how much of this is
Speaker 2: internet lower all the things. We're going to talk about
Speaker 2: that all today. Because I had no idea that glitter
Speaker 2: had such a conspiratorial background to it. We had to
Speaker 2: start all the way back to the Manhattan Project. Yes,
Speaker 2: nuclear weapons testing is how glitter was even discovered. Tie
Speaker 2: in with the Kodak company, is in the picture company,
Speaker 2: tie into precision cutting instruments, tie into military, aerospace, food
Speaker 2: and drug administration, automotive industry, boating industry, the microplastics in
Speaker 2: the ocean, the microplastic and all the male's balls on
Speaker 2: Earth right now, it y'all. I had no idea.
Speaker 3: I had Mars. You can't forget about Mars.
Speaker 2: And apparently we're putting glitter on Mars.
Speaker 3: So excited about that conversation because once I heard that,
Speaker 3: what fucking elon? What's crazy?
Speaker 4: Is?
Speaker 3: I actually, when I was first reachar researching it, it
Speaker 3: said that it was linked to the cartel and it
Speaker 3: was linked to the diamond industry, and I'm like, what
Speaker 3: the fuck does liitter have to do with a cartel?
Speaker 3: But I think it all kind of stems from the
Speaker 3: forensic science part of it, because glitter is like their
Speaker 3: favorite thing in forensic science, which is really interesting when
Speaker 3: we read about it.
Speaker 2: So forensics how they discover how a murder took place,
Speaker 2: and they try to put together the guilty party, the victim,
Speaker 2: and the time and place of which it happened. Somehow
Speaker 2: glitter makes its way into that conversation way more often
Speaker 2: than I thought.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a whole articles just about how many
Speaker 3: forensic scientists love glitter, like it's like the best thing
Speaker 3: ever for them to solve murder cases and stuff. So
Speaker 3: it's a really interesting kind of crazy deep dive. I
Speaker 3: wanted to go on for a good while, but even
Speaker 3: starting out, I had just heard about the article and
Speaker 3: like this, everyone has probably seen this reassurgence of this TikTok.
Speaker 3: There's two tiktoks that were made, and both of them
Speaker 3: got a ton of notoriety because this guy was like, hey,
Speaker 3: did anyone remember this crazy conspiracy from back in the day,
Speaker 3: And it re sparked this whole conversation of TikTok of
Speaker 3: excuse me glitter last year, and tons of articles have
Speaker 3: stemmed from that about people, you know, reaching out and
Speaker 3: finally somebody actually was able to get a hold of
Speaker 3: the son of the glitter manufacturer that actually created a
Speaker 3: holographic glitter, and we're going to take a look at
Speaker 3: what they were able to talk with him about.
Speaker 2: Which that also is a pretty massive lynch pin. This
Speaker 2: dude the creator of glitter right and the creator of
Speaker 2: the company that made it for pretty much ever. His
Speaker 2: son was one of them, well, one of his sons,
Speaker 2: the one that went on interview and did all these things,
Speaker 2: who also made a few pretty astounding I don't want
Speaker 2: to say discoveries, but.
Speaker 3: He created it, yeah, their discoveries. He created stuff that
Speaker 3: was that's still used globally right now.
Speaker 2: So a key player for the company. And yeah, there
Speaker 2: was a couple of kids and it was like a
Speaker 2: board and all these things. But the guy who was
Speaker 2: really doing some groundbreaking discs, coveries and innovations as far
Speaker 2: as this industry is concerned, was later fired and from
Speaker 2: what I can only tell to be a very dirty
Speaker 2: blood feued power play by his siblings, and they have
Speaker 2: now run the company into the ground, and we're gonna
Speaker 2: get into all of it, y'all. I had no idea,
Speaker 2: We honestly had no idea.
Speaker 3: As far as it was crazy, but I didn't know.
Speaker 3: Is this crazy? And it ties into sand eventually, which
Speaker 3: I'm going to do an episode on the sand industry.
Speaker 3: I've been talking about it forever, but yes, all of
Speaker 3: it kind of weirdly ties into each other.
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, So without further ado, we're going to go
Speaker 2: ahead and share the screen and we are going to
Speaker 2: show all the videos, all the articles, all the clips
Speaker 2: for all of the glitter conversation. If you are somebody
Speaker 2: who would like to see this rather than just hear
Speaker 2: us talk about it, what you need to do is

Speaker 2: get all of what I just listed. You'll get the
Speaker 2: shows a couple of days in evance, sometimes even up
Speaker 2: to a week in advance. But probably the main reason
Speaker 2: why people go to patreon dot com slash cult to
Speaker 2: Conspiracy podcast is because it is the only place to
Speaker 2: get these shows absolutely commus. Here's the deal. If you're
Speaker 2: listening to us on the Spotify, on the Apple Podcast,

Speaker 2: We really do not get down with that. So if
Speaker 2: you are somebody who would like to get these shows
Speaker 2: absolutely commercial free, the only place to go is patreon
Speaker 2: dot com slash Cult Conspiracy Podcast. However, the next tier
Speaker 2: up on Patreon is to go to that Third Eye
Speaker 2: All the Way Open tier. And if you do that,

Speaker 2: Third Eye All the Way Open to tear, Raven Lee
Speaker 2: has a side project she is working on, only available
Speaker 2: to that Third Eye tier. Go ahead and tell them Raven.
Speaker 3: It is our book club and it is called the
Speaker 3: Hidden Chapter, and so every month we are going to
Speaker 3: dissect a book that is from all different types of topics.
Speaker 3: Right now, we are going to be breaking down How
Speaker 3: Jesus Became God, which is a really interesting book so far.
Speaker 3: So what we're going to do is every Sunday at
Speaker 3: nine pm we are going to spend an hour or
Speaker 3: two breaking down and having different discussions depending on the book,
Speaker 3: about whatever it is we're reading, and kind of really

Speaker 2: Anyway, So there you go. I'm just saying on top
Speaker 2: of all of that, you will also we go to
Speaker 2: that maniac tier next and when you go to that
Speaker 2: Maniac here you will also get exclusive merch sent to you.
Speaker 2: You'll get a care package. We have a year's worth
Speaker 2: of stickers that we have already created. Actually, we have
Speaker 2: a couple of them right here.
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, they're really awesome. We took
Speaker 3: a long time to be able to create some of them,
Speaker 3: so I'm pretty pumped. And we also have all the
Speaker 3: members are getting their own custom shirts that are exclusive
Speaker 3: just to that tier, and we also have lots of
Speaker 3: background stuff we're going to be dropping more of and
Speaker 3: we're going to just kind of be more engaging on
Speaker 3: Patreon itself, and that's where you'll be able to reach
Speaker 3: us anytime day or night. We check it, we get notifications,
Speaker 3: we reach out, we.
Speaker 2: Talk back, we do indeed. And also the merch is
Speaker 2: going to be available for all of our cult conspiracy merchandise.
Speaker 2: It is not going to be a Patreon exclusive store.
Speaker 2: We thought it was going to. We thought that would
Speaker 2: have been the best way to go about this. However,
Speaker 2: Patreon has an organic shop within the website, and it's
Speaker 2: it's not exactly what we are trying to do. It's
Speaker 2: not about them getting their cut. I can't verify the
Speaker 2: quality of their merchandise, and that's kind of a big
Speaker 2: thing for us. I don't want to.
Speaker 3: I'm so excited about the merchandise. We've actually already picked
Speaker 3: out the hats and the designs we're going to do.
Speaker 3: We've picked out the t shirts that we're going to do,
Speaker 3: and we picked out the mugs so far. So we're
Speaker 3: going to start with those things with the launch and
Speaker 3: then we're going to go from there. So pretty pumped
Speaker 3: when we get it all together.
Speaker 2: We're not going to charge somebody twenty dollars for a
Speaker 2: five dollars shirt. We're just not about that. And I'm
Speaker 2: not saying that that's what the Patreon shop is about,
Speaker 2: but I can't verify if that is or is not
Speaker 2: what it's about, and so we're just we're not going
Speaker 2: to do that. So we are going to have a store,
Speaker 2: a merch store available. We're going to be posting that
Speaker 2: here in the next few weeks as soon as we
Speaker 2: get it all ironed out. But the merchandise is going
Speaker 2: to be available here soon. But that Maniac tier on
Speaker 2: Patreon will get their own exclusive merch only available on
Speaker 2: the Maniac here. You're not going to be able to
Speaker 2: buy this. You're not gonna be able to go to
Speaker 2: the store and buy a Maniac shirt for the Colt conspiracy.
Speaker 2: You can only get that if you're on Patreon for
Speaker 2: that Maniac tire hell yeah. Anyway, all right, y'all, we're
Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and share the screen at this time,
Speaker 2: and let's talk about the wild and dark world of glitter.
Speaker 2: All right. So on screen right now is a YouTube short.
Speaker 2: You may have seen it, and it gives a little
Speaker 2: bit of the TLDR on the whole glitter conversation. Let's
Speaker 2: learn about this together, good cult members, Let's go.
Speaker 5: Because they don't want anyone to know that it's glitter.
Speaker 5: These ten words kicked off one of the biggest Internet
Speaker 5: conspiracies of all time.
Speaker 2: Can you tell me what your big fire is?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: I absolutely know that I can't.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you know what it is?
Speaker 7: Oh god?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you'd never guess it. Let's just leave it
Speaker 2: at that.
Speaker 5: In twenty eighteen, a New York Times article went viral
Speaker 5: when a manager at one of the largest glitter producers
Speaker 5: in the world refused to admit who their biggest client was.
Speaker 5: But another thing that really stuck out to people was
Speaker 5: this comments. Since we're a glitter manufacturer, anything we do
Speaker 5: is now called glitter. This is important because glitter was
Speaker 5: invented Slash discovered in the nineteen thirties at a precision
Speaker 5: cutting factory of film and paper for clients like Kodak
Speaker 5: and Anesco. The cutting machine would occasionally glitch, tearing up
Speaker 5: the gloss photoprint into schnibbles that were sped out onto
Speaker 5: the shop floor instead of throwing them out. Some of
Speaker 5: the employees decided to use the snibbles as fake snow
Speaker 5: in their Christmas decorations, and glitter was born. But today
Speaker 5: whoever is buying up all of the glitter is still
Speaker 5: a mystery, with some theory suggesting that it's the US military,
Speaker 5: boat paint, funeral homes, or toothpaste manufacturers.
Speaker 2: Because okay, so a couple of things, he was on
Speaker 2: the money with a couple of things he was kind
Speaker 2: of off with. So as far as the where it
Speaker 2: was discovered, yes, it was in the nineteen thirties slash forties,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't in the manner at which he said.
Speaker 2: He is correct that it was with the Kodak company.
Speaker 2: The guy who actually invented it worked for the Kodak
Speaker 2: company as in the pictures right, and he was cutting
Speaker 2: essentially rolls of film, and he was using a precision
Speaker 2: cutting tool, which is why the Glitter company itself, if
Speaker 2: you ask them, they are a precision cutting company that
Speaker 2: happens to specialize in glitter or glitter is a byproduct
Speaker 2: of their precision cuts.
Speaker 3: He actually is the one that holds both patents yeah
Speaker 3: to it. So he created this himself.
Speaker 2: And so long story short, and there's a weird tie
Speaker 2: in that we're gonna make a little bit here in
Speaker 2: a minute. The Kodak company employee was hired by a
Speaker 2: government group that was working on this new thing that
Speaker 2: nobody had heard of at this time called the Manhattan Project. Yes,
Speaker 2: glitter ties into nuclear weapons testing, and so with that
Speaker 2: they needed him to cut a specific component. We're gonna
Speaker 2: get more in detail on this one later, and from
Speaker 2: the cutting of this component is where glitter actually originated from.
Speaker 2: So he left his job at Kodak started working for
Speaker 2: the US government, and interestingly enough, Kodak knew that nuclear
Speaker 2: weapons testing was going on before anyone else did because
Speaker 2: of the water they were using for the development of
Speaker 2: their film. We're going to talk about all this more later,
Speaker 2: but yes, if we are gonna get really into the
Speaker 2: nitty gritty, which we have to because it's literally glitter.
Speaker 2: Glitter was discovered, Slash created because America was trying to
Speaker 2: drop bombs on Japan.
Speaker 3: It's wild.
Speaker 2: That's a crazy state.
Speaker 3: It's a wild statement that glitter was a byproduct of
Speaker 3: an atomic bomb. And it's crazy to me though, that
Speaker 3: glitter is used globally and pretty much in everything. Everything
Speaker 3: uses glitter, and some of it is okay to use,
Speaker 3: some of it is really not good to use, allegedly,
Speaker 3: some of it's okay to use.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get more in depth with it anyway. So
Speaker 2: now we're going to get into the New York Times
Speaker 2: article the thing that sparked this internet conspiracy. And as
Speaker 2: we're getting into it, you'll be the one to judge.
Speaker 2: Is this strictly an internet conspiracy or is this a
Speaker 2: real situation that we need to be more aware of
Speaker 2: in our day to day lives. Let's get into it.
Speaker 2: This is from the New York Times. So this was
Speaker 2: written December twenty one of twenty eighteen. It was right
Speaker 2: around the Christmas holidays, which is why this came out.
Speaker 2: So each December surrounded by wonderlands of white paper snowflakes,
Speaker 2: bright red winter berries, and forests of green conifers reclaiming
Speaker 2: their ancestral territory away from inside the nation's living rooms.
Speaker 2: And hotel lobbies, children and adults delight to see the
Speaker 2: true harbinger of the holidays, Aluminum metallicized polyethylene terrif phyllite.
Speaker 2: I probably butchered that pronunciation word.
Speaker 3: So is it pet? Or is it pet? Right? It's pet?
Speaker 3: So is it we call tariff?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: Tariff thollate?
Speaker 3: Well? I know, but to sum it up, it's they
Speaker 3: They always make it as pet or pete. I'm not
Speaker 3: sure how you actually say. I assume it's pet, but pet,
Speaker 3: So that's what where are you looking? Oh, you'll see
Speaker 3: it in other articles as we can't.
Speaker 2: Tell you on but that's I guess it just depends
Speaker 2: on the context. Right, It's like saying caribbean or caribbean,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure there's going to be somebody that works
Speaker 2: in industry. It's like it's actually peef. Y'all are both wrong?
Speaker 2: You know what? Sorry?
Speaker 3: Instead of having to say the entire thing, that's what
Speaker 3: they shorten it to. So when they're talking about glitter,
Speaker 3: which sure.
Speaker 2: So moving, that doesn't even illuminum metallized polyethylene tariff thalite.
Speaker 2: How is that pete poly e?
Speaker 3: T see?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: In that one word, the polyethylene so polyethylene. And then
Speaker 3: the last word they put terrifate. Yeah as pete.
Speaker 2: Okay, so well now we know.
Speaker 3: Look, I'm just I'm about the simple shit, not having
Speaker 3: to read these big guys words.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good with it. So the aluminum pet settles
Speaker 2: over store windows like dazzling frost. It flashes like hot
Speaker 2: molten gold across the nail plates of young lemon. It
Speaker 2: sparkles like pure precision cuts starlight on an ornament of
Speaker 2: a North American brown bear driving a car towing a
Speaker 2: camper van. No idea what that's supposed to mean, Oh,
Speaker 2: the camper like in the paint in the ah I see. Indeed,
Speaker 2: the Clement Cark Moore's seminal Christmas Eve poem, the eyes
Speaker 2: of Saint Nicholas himself are said to twinkle like aluminum
Speaker 2: metallicized polyethylene terrifate. I'm paraphrasing, obviously, it says they do.
Speaker 2: They sparkle like glitter. That's that's what that's supposed to
Speaker 2: be in homes and malls and schools and synagogues and
Speaker 2: banks and hospitals and fire stations and hardware stores and
Speaker 2: breweries and car dealerships and every kind of office and
Speaker 2: outside those places too. It shines, it glitters, It is glitter.
Speaker 2: So what is glitter? The simplest answer is one that
Speaker 2: will leave you slightly unsatisfied, but at least with your
Speaker 2: confidence and comprehending basic physical properties. Intact, glitter is made
Speaker 2: from glitter. Whoa, whoa, they bring it in the hard facts.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: I'm glad they really fucking broke it down for us.
Speaker 3: Like God, damn.
Speaker 2: Good, damn.
Speaker 3: Glitter is glitter. That's it. You're fine.
Speaker 2: Big glitter begets smaller glitter, smaller gitter geitter. Smaller glitter
Speaker 2: gets everywhere. All glitter is impossible to remove now, never
Speaker 2: asked this question.
Speaker 3: Again, Well, thank you for swing it up for us.
Speaker 3: I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: The New York Times man, they're just hitting with the
Speaker 2: hard facts, unquestionable hard facts here. Ah, but it few
Speaker 2: like an impertinent child seeking a logical, timable timetable of
Speaker 2: what is it?
Speaker 3: Logistical timetable? Logisticalause?
Speaker 2: Look at that? You know what you could read? You're
Speaker 2: better read than I am anyway.
Speaker 3: Pause, Oh my god, nocturnal.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll just read it all up.
Speaker 3: We're so tired today.
Speaker 2: But if you like an impertinent child seeking a logistical
Speaker 2: timetable of Santa Claus is nocturnal intercontinental journey. Demand a
Speaker 2: more detailed definition, A word of warning. The path to
Speaker 2: enlightenment is littered with trade secrets, vapors, aluminum, ingots, CIA,
Speaker 2: levels of obfuscation, the invisible regions of the visible spectrum,
Speaker 2: a unit of measurement expressed as ten dash six m.
Speaker 3: And also New Jersey, fucking Jerzy?
Speaker 2: Why why does it always have to go back to Jersey?
Speaker 3: If I think of New Jersey, I'm so sorry to
Speaker 3: all of our Jersey listeners. All I can think of
Speaker 3: is Knock Knock and like her in South Park. I'm sorry, Listen.
Speaker 2: I know that there's more to New Jersey than the
Speaker 2: Jersey Shore, but for a solid fifteen years, that's all
Speaker 2: anyone ever knew about it.
Speaker 3: You know, I've met them, all of them in New Orleans.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're just wonderful. Baby.
Speaker 3: They were interesting, I'll give them that. It was by accident.
Speaker 3: It was underneath a parking garage where they're coming out
Speaker 3: of the hotel, and I was trying to like park
Speaker 3: and they decided that they were more important with all
Speaker 3: of their cameras than anybody else. And I was like, hey,
Speaker 3: that checks out. Could you like move the fuck over?
Speaker 3: And they were like, oh, well, don't you know who
Speaker 3: we are? I was like, yeah, I do, Yeah, we
Speaker 3: know your white trash from the north.
Speaker 2: Can you move move over?
Speaker 3: They weren't bad people, they did move their car and stuff,
Speaker 3: but I was like, huh, And all I could think
Speaker 3: about was a south Park episode And I really wanted
Speaker 3: to ask, oh, how do you feel about the south
Speaker 3: Park episode? At about y'all? But I didn't.
Speaker 2: I refrain, You're stronger than I am, because.
Speaker 3: I really once I saw her, I was like, oh God, no,
Speaker 3: don't do it. Don't do it.
Speaker 2: So like, Snookie is not a bad person, right at
Speaker 2: least now. Back then, I can't speak to it.
Speaker 3: But a lot of the I don't really watch it,
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, So I.
Speaker 2: Only saw the clips and it was always their worst moments.
Speaker 2: And I get that. I get that. But Snookie herself
Speaker 2: has become a really, from what I can tell, a
Speaker 2: really amazing mom. She used her platform and used her
Speaker 2: money to pretty much set her and her family up
Speaker 2: and has taken a massive step back from the limelight.
Speaker 2: And she'll make appearances and things, and she'll help host stuff,
Speaker 2: but she's not the woman that everybody once remembered, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And most of them have for them, but now they
Speaker 3: all seem like really genuinely good people. It just happened
Speaker 3: to be that. That was the first thing that when
Speaker 3: I like actually locked eyes with her, all I could
Speaker 3: see was hers like a rat god, and all I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, God, don't do it. Don't intrusive thoughts,
Speaker 3: y'all sometimes don't act on them.
Speaker 2: I've learned you're stronger than me. That seems to be
Speaker 2: a going trend with me. I have an issue just
Speaker 2: rolling deep with my yes yes thoughts. That glitter life
Speaker 2: back to the human Even humans who don't like glitter
Speaker 2: like glitter. It's true. We are drawn to shiny things
Speaker 2: in the same wild way our ancestors were overcome by
Speaker 2: a compulsion to forage for honey. I think it might
Speaker 2: be golden honey that they were after.
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, no, fucking Mawana just popped in my head.
Speaker 3: That's why I started laughing.
Speaker 2: Because it was shining.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, y'all. I am lacking sleep right now, and
Speaker 3: I just happen to be all over the place. This
Speaker 3: is actually we spend a lot of time on this,
Speaker 3: and I'm over here thinking about the fucking crab with.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a really funny part though, Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: back to it anyway. A theory that has found favor
Speaker 2: among research psychologists, supported in part by a study that
Speaker 2: monitored baby's enthusiasm for licking plates with a glossy finish,
Speaker 2: is that our attraction to sparkle is derived from an
Speaker 2: innate need to seek out fresh water. What was about
Speaker 2: the baby's licking a shiny plate? You're like, you almost
Speaker 2: died on that one.
Speaker 3: No, I did not. I am here and I am
Speaker 3: like flocked in.
Speaker 2: You know, they could have also used like you know what,
Speaker 2: We did a study in these marines kept licking windows.
Speaker 2: We do think that the baser level of early man
Speaker 2: might just be attracted to humans or attracted to shiny
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 3: I just thought of so many things. My brain is
Speaker 3: just popping off this morning.
Speaker 2: Bright colors and shiny. Is that why we love crayons?
Speaker 2: They're bright colors and they're shiny.
Speaker 3: I mean, people like shiny everything though, so I glitter.
Speaker 3: Glitter is one of those scenes like even when people
Speaker 3: don't want to like glitter. They still like glitter because
Speaker 3: guys with cars looking at like a nice paint.
Speaker 2: Job year to see. If you've ever seen my car,
Speaker 2: I don't wash it, So.
Speaker 3: You know what you're just I'm not gonna go there.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm just not that type of human. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Shiny shit has no bearing for me. What unless actually
Speaker 2: I take a back sunglasses. I do like my stupid
Speaker 2: gaudy sunglasses. And I love jewelry. Yeah, I love rings jewelry,
Speaker 2: and I do want gold teeth.
Speaker 3: So you're a shiny bitch too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not glitter, it's gold. There's a difference.
Speaker 3: Yep. They put glitter in everything.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about it more. But they're saying that
Speaker 2: it is derived from an innate need who seek out
Speaker 2: fresh water and somehow that's jogging our caveman lizard brains
Speaker 2: into seeing shiny things as water. Who's to say, right?
Speaker 2: So glitter is a touchable product, or more correctly, an
Speaker 2: assemblage of touchable products. Glitter is a mass noun. Specifically,
Speaker 2: it is a granular aggregate like rice is an invention
Speaker 2: so recent it's barely defined. The Oxford English Dictionary principally
Speaker 2: concerns itself with explaining glitter as an intangible type of
Speaker 2: sparkly light. Until the invention in the twentieth century of
Speaker 2: the modern craft substance, one could either observe something's glitter,
Speaker 2: like the glitter of glass, or hold something that glittered,
Speaker 2: like say ground up glass. Right, so you would look
Speaker 2: in the sky and say, oh, the stars are glittering tonight.
Speaker 2: But it was something you couldn't touch.
Speaker 3: So what's interesting is we actually I didn't pull up
Speaker 3: the article anymore, but the glitter term glitter was actually
Speaker 3: used in a patent from fifteen oh four. I think
Speaker 3: it was in patent. Yeah, so the guy that created fireworks,
Speaker 3: actually it states in the title glitter and yeah it
Speaker 3: do we have that up. We do have it on
Speaker 3: the computer. We don't have to read it though, I
Speaker 3: could just summarize it, but pretty much that he used
Speaker 3: the term glitter when talking about when it actually burns
Speaker 3: and creates this glittery effect of fire. So he used
Speaker 3: that term throughout his entire patent, and it originally used
Speaker 3: then but then got transferred to this. And it's it's
Speaker 3: interesting because I actually, when I looked for the patent
Speaker 3: on glitter. I didn't find a specific patent, and I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's because that was from fifteen oh
Speaker 3: four that he used the term glitter, or it was
Speaker 3: because this is a byproduct of something else, and it's
Speaker 3: it's an interesting, weird little rabbit hole, but all that
Speaker 3: he described fireworks or anything like that was glitter.
Speaker 2: And it's also interesting connection because as the Glitter company,
Speaker 2: as we just read heard from that short, since they're
Speaker 2: a glitter manufacturer, everything that they produce is classified as glitter,
Speaker 2: which is very interesting because as we go into the
Speaker 2: rabbit hole of the military industrial complex and what they
Speaker 2: are using quote unquote glitter for the fact that the
Speaker 2: first pattern of it was an explosive, yes, and then
Speaker 2: we cut to what they are classifying as glitter for
Speaker 2: this company today. It's kind of it. It all comes
Speaker 2: full circle.
Speaker 3: It does, especially with hercules.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the rocket fuel. We're going to talk about
Speaker 2: it all y'all.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: If you think you understand where we're going with this,
Speaker 2: I promise you don't.
Speaker 3: There's so many places that this goes to. It's crazy.
Speaker 3: It took us two full days, honestly, of reading through
Speaker 3: so many things because It's not just this though, it's
Speaker 3: also the new stuff that they're trying to produce with glitter,
Speaker 3: and how it's affecting things, and how they're trying to change,
Speaker 3: how the molecules are the cellul loos with it, and.
Speaker 2: It's just yeah, I'll put it like this. So the
Speaker 2: Nestley company, right, we all have all seen the single
Speaker 2: use plastic water bottles with Nestli logo on them. Correct, Okay,
Speaker 2: This would be the equivalent of saying that Nestley is
Speaker 2: a water company, so everything they produce is classified as
Speaker 2: a water product. That would and you know Nesley has
Speaker 2: all kinds of food products they also produce. That would
Speaker 2: be a crazy, intellectually dishonest statement for them to make.
Speaker 2: That is literally a one to one comparison to what
Speaker 2: this company is doing. When they say, oh, we're a
Speaker 2: glitter manufacturer. You make glitter, but you're also involved in
Speaker 2: so so many different aspects that that's almost like your subtangent.
Speaker 3: So when we're talking about these two companies, we're talking
Speaker 3: about Glitter X and we're talking about meadow Brooks, and
Speaker 3: so meadow Brooks is the originator. They have lost a
Speaker 3: lot of their stock and a lot of their stuff.
Speaker 3: Because of the sibling rivalry and everything else, they've pretty
Speaker 3: much run the company almost to the end of the ground. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so glitter X is the largest manufacturer. So when we're
Speaker 3: talking about both of these, that's I just want to
Speaker 3: have the distinction of who we're really talking about that
Speaker 3: is dealing more now with the government and everything else.
Speaker 2: So right, right, right, all right, So let's get back
Speaker 2: to it here. Tensil, which has existed for centuries, does
Speaker 2: not become glitter when cut into small pieces. It become
Speaker 2: bits of tinsil. Right. The tiny shiny, decorative particles of
Speaker 2: glitter we are familiar with today are popularly believed to
Speaker 2: have originated on a farm in New Jersey in the
Speaker 2: nineteen thirties, when a German immigrant invented a machine to
Speaker 2: cut scrap materials into extremely small pieces. Curiously, he did
Speaker 2: not begin filing patents for machines that cut foil into
Speaker 2: what we have what he called silvers or slivers rather
Speaker 2: until nineteen sixty one, which, as we get into it
Speaker 2: with the Manhattan Project, I personally believe this is why
Speaker 2: he didn't do that until much later. This was a
Speaker 2: byproduct of the cutting of the component that was used
Speaker 2: for the atomic bomb. And you can't make a patent
Speaker 2: on a thing that you discovered while you're working for
Speaker 2: our government project. The government's going to have something to
Speaker 2: say about that. So I think that he had to
Speaker 2: wait until he got the approval to get the patent
Speaker 2: for it. But at that time he was the only
Speaker 2: one that was making it. He was the only one
Speaker 2: that they honestly didn't even know there was a market
Speaker 2: for it at that time. But we'll get to it all.
Speaker 2: We'll get to it all anyway. The specific events that
Speaker 2: led to the initial dispersal of glitter are nebulous. In
Speaker 2: true glitter fashion, all of a sudden, it was simply everywhere.
Speaker 2: A December nineteen forty two article in The Times, possibly
Speaker 2: the first mention in this newspaper of the stuff, advised
Speaker 2: New York City residents that pictures of evergreen bowls placed
Speaker 2: in their window for the winter holidays would offer additional
Speaker 2: scintillation if sprinkled with dime store glitter or mica. Now
Speaker 2: I'm very glad that they called it that at this time,
Speaker 2: because there are two distinct types of glitter in the
Speaker 2: grand scheme of shit. There is the aluminum plastic coated
Speaker 2: version of it. And then there is the or micah version,
Speaker 2: which is the substance from the ground. It's a mineral
Speaker 2: that when you cut it, it breaks off into these
Speaker 2: little tiny microscopic shards. That is what we are ingesting
Speaker 2: when you are eating edible glitter. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So he actually holds the patent to glitter, which one
Speaker 3: Henry the one that created it on accident. But because
Speaker 3: it was a byproduct with film and paper, yep, that
Speaker 3: it falls under the patent somehow.
Speaker 2: They had it classified under there like an umbrella patent
Speaker 2: for the while. So then he finally got his own
Speaker 2: distinct patent in sixty one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he has. So he created the patent for
Speaker 3: the machine that cut the photo films and paper in
Speaker 3: the thirties which led to the creation of glitter. And
Speaker 3: now it's actually under all of it like it all
Speaker 3: is a patent underneath meadow Brook Inventions.
Speaker 2: Wow, all of it.
Speaker 3: Together owns all the patents period. So hid and his
Speaker 3: son created the hieroglyphic holographic hunk hieroglyphic. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: oh my, I'm thinking about the conversation last said about
Speaker 3: ancient ee jip I guess yeah, no, they hold all
Speaker 3: of it, so they every patent is theirs.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so we have a long way to
Speaker 2: go on this one. Let's let's get back into it here.
Speaker 2: So uh anyway, the pictures, uh yeah, the pictures were
Speaker 2: to replace Christmas candles, which the wartime Army had banned
Speaker 2: after sunset, along with neon signs and times square and
Speaker 2: the light from the Statue of Liberty Torch after determining
Speaker 2: that the nighttime glow threw offshore Allied vessels into silhouette,
Speaker 2: transforming them into floating U boat targets. That was a
Speaker 2: big thing, right world War two. They were they were
Speaker 2: afraid that we were going to have strafing runs and
Speaker 2: bombing runs by the Axis powers, so they had blackouts,
Speaker 2: right and I'm not mistake. And they even started doing
Speaker 2: that sometime after World War One because of blimps and
Speaker 2: things like this. So it's this wasn't uncommon. It was
Speaker 2: just what was seen as the best way to defend
Speaker 2: ourselves in that day and age. So they started pushing
Speaker 2: glitter in place of candles and lights for your Christmas decorations.
Speaker 2: Most of the glitter that adorns America's name brand products
Speaker 2: is made in one of two places. The first is
Speaker 2: in New Jersey, but the second, however, is also in
Speaker 2: New Jersey. The first is the rumored farm site of
Speaker 2: Glitter's invention. Refused to answer any of my questions. We
Speaker 2: are a private company, a representative said via email. The
Speaker 2: second is glitter X.
Speaker 3: So the private company is meadow Brooks Inventions, and we
Speaker 3: actually have a video of them. These people were able
Speaker 3: to get it least in contact with the sun that
Speaker 3: was mixed out of it, and so they actually were
Speaker 3: able to get an interview. But this was years after this,
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. So this whole article is about glitter X,
Speaker 3: which is now the biggest company when it comes to
Speaker 3: glitter which we're.
Speaker 2: Going to talk about meadow Brooks in particular here in
Speaker 2: a bit. But yeah, So glitter X was found in
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty three. Babu Schetty or Baboo Shetdy sixty nine
Speaker 2: joined the company as president and CEO in nineteen ninety nine,
Speaker 2: though he had been working to develop some of its
Speaker 2: glitter product since the nineteen seventies, when he came to
Speaker 2: the US from Mumbai to earn an advanced degree. His
Speaker 2: PhD is in polymer science and Engineering. He jokes that
Speaker 2: he fell into the plastics business because it was recommended
Speaker 2: to Dustin Hoffman's character in the Graduate's that's silly.
Speaker 3: He is a PhD. I just fell into it.
Speaker 2: He has a PhD that he got from an actual university.
Speaker 2: But he saw a movie one time where Dustin Hoffman
Speaker 2: was recommended to get into the plastic business, and he's like,
Speaker 2: you know what, I like glitter? Now, bro, you're from India,
Speaker 2: Like we know. But anyway, he also did not want
Speaker 2: me to visit his glitter factory. Okay, the jovial mister
Speaker 2: Shitty told me over the phone that the people have
Speaker 2: no idea of the scientific knowledge required to produce glitter,
Speaker 2: that glitter X is glitter making technology is some of
Speaker 2: the most advanced in the world, and that people don't
Speaker 2: believe how complicated it is. That he would not allow
Speaker 2: me to see glitter being made, that he would not
Speaker 2: allow me to hear glitter being made, and that I
Speaker 2: could not even be in the same wing of the
Speaker 2: building as the room in which glitter was being made
Speaker 2: under any circumstance. That even glitter Ex's clients are not
Speaker 2: permitted to see their glitter being made that he would
Speaker 2: not reveal the identities of glitter Ex's clients, which include
Speaker 2: some of the largest multinational corporations in the world. Eventually,
Speaker 2: one did consent to being named thank you, Revlon Inc.
Speaker 2: As in the makeup Manufacturer, which I'm gonna be honest,
Speaker 2: color me shocked that a makeup company is cool with
Speaker 2: saying no, no, yeah, it's glitter that we're using.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that whole statement that you just read was
Speaker 3: the premise. One of the big things about the entire
Speaker 3: glitter conspiracy was because he was so hell bent on
Speaker 3: her not even being able to enter into the wing
Speaker 3: of it, let alone hear how it was made. How
Speaker 3: the fuck is she going to know what is being
Speaker 3: used behind closed door in his neother wing if she's
Speaker 3: never seen these things ever, so for her, she's not
Speaker 3: gonna understand think, but she found it really interesting, and
Speaker 3: that's what this is What sparked a ton of the
Speaker 3: why behind it all was because why is it such
Speaker 3: a secret when we all know this is supposedly supposed
Speaker 3: to be a byproduct, which led into do we actually
Speaker 3: know what real glitter is like now compared to what
Speaker 3: it was supposed to be? And it led into all
Speaker 3: of these conversations about Glitter was because of his response
Speaker 3: to her.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, Ravenly, you are somebody
Speaker 2: who has been around the world a good number of times.
Speaker 2: You've been around the block. You've also worked on certain
Speaker 2: mechanical components. You understand what certain power tools sound like.
Speaker 2: But all of that to be said, would you know
Speaker 2: what a belt drive sounded like? Not in a car.
Speaker 2: If you went to a factory somewhere and didn't know
Speaker 2: what they made and you heard a conveyor belt being operated,
Speaker 2: would you know, Yes, sitting outside the door, not looking
Speaker 2: at it, you'll be able to hear and be like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's a conveyor belt.
Speaker 3: That's not really fair because I feel like I'm an
Speaker 3: unjust person to ask because I actually worked in a
Speaker 3: chainsaw manufacturing company for a BOH and I also did
Speaker 3: some work with Boeing and so yeah, like, so I
Speaker 3: have more I feel like I would have more experience,
Speaker 3: at least in that area being able to distinguish some things.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that I'm an expert by any means,
Speaker 3: but I feel like a journalist would not understand what
Speaker 3: she's hearing when it comes to massive components like that.
Speaker 2: But also, would you know what a water jets sounded
Speaker 2: like when it was being operated from outside the room.
Speaker 3: I don't feel like I would. I feel like I
Speaker 3: might try to think of what it was, but I
Speaker 3: don't feel like I would be able to distinguish what
Speaker 3: I'm listening to, especially when they're all going on at once.
Speaker 3: I don't think I could pick out, oh, this is
Speaker 3: this and this is that. I think I might have
Speaker 3: a general idea just because of doing like you know,
Speaker 3: basic research of like, okay, well maybe they're using this
Speaker 3: type of machine. There's no way that I would be
Speaker 3: able to pick out these sounds and no, Now, if
Speaker 3: it's a man in a field that is doing something, okay,
Speaker 3: I could understand, or or a woman you know whatever
Speaker 3: that has like lots of experience, okay. But this what
Speaker 3: is so secretive strictly about this is really interesting because
Speaker 3: like they already had the technology from meadow Brooks, so
Speaker 3: like he didn't really hide Well, you could look up
Speaker 3: the patent. Yeah, you can look up the patent. He
Speaker 3: didn't really hide what he did because it was a byproduct.
Speaker 3: So I'm wondering because there is so much talk about
Speaker 3: moving into biodegradable stuff, and they're trying to change the
Speaker 3: way glitter is made, which is really interesting. We're not
Speaker 3: going to read the article because it's very long and
Speaker 3: very dry, but pretty much they're trying to make a
Speaker 3: biodegradable all types of glitter. The problem is it's super
Speaker 3: toxic because it's holding bacteria to the cells itself, and
Speaker 3: it's infecting in the ecosystem where it's at. Plus it's
Speaker 3: not degrading correctly. They're having all sorts of issues with this.
Speaker 2: That being said, you mean plastics coded aluminum bits are
Speaker 2: bad for the environment.
Speaker 3: No, So they're trying to not have the aluminum bits.
Speaker 3: So they're actually trying to change the composition of glitter
Speaker 3: completely and put it into a breakdown type of one
Speaker 3: that isn't gonna impact anything around it. But you can
Speaker 3: read in just that one scientific article how glitter supposedly
Speaker 3: is made, and it zooms in it shows you pictures
Speaker 3: of what they've looked like, all different types underneath the
Speaker 3: microscope and all this stuff. So I'm like, what is
Speaker 3: so secret about glitter that you were so crazy that
Speaker 3: she couldn't even enter into the building in that wing.
Speaker 3: I don't understand, So that's what caused all these people this,
Speaker 3: And when she gets further on in the article, those
Speaker 3: two things were what sparked this entire crazy conversation was Okay, well,
Speaker 3: what the fuck are you doing with glitter and why
Speaker 3: is it so secretive? I don't understand.
Speaker 2: So we have a couple of theories on that, but
Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna kind of bounce back to those
Speaker 2: after we get more information from all the sources because
Speaker 2: I have my own theory and I have a feeling
Speaker 2: you might have a couple of working theories too, So
Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see, let's get through all these things,
Speaker 2: and then we'll kind of circle back to why they
Speaker 2: are so secretive that they don't even want somebody in
Speaker 2: the same wing as the glitter machine when it's making glitter.
Speaker 3: I don't really know if I have a theory'd be
Speaker 3: honest with you.
Speaker 2: Okay, Then I got a couple of guys like I.
Speaker 3: Mean, I have I guess I have more of a
Speaker 3: theory when it comes to the aerospace situation, that atmospheric stuff.
Speaker 3: So that's where my obviously, because if you ever listen
Speaker 3: to what I talk about and what I like, over
Speaker 3: the last two years, it's more or less science stuff,
Speaker 3: and so that's where I'm more hubbing to. But I
Speaker 3: also read way too many research articles yesterday. We're so boring.
Speaker 2: But that's kind of where I'm sitting. It's not that
Speaker 2: it's they're making glitter. Glitter is a byproduct of what
Speaker 2: they're doing, and I think that might be more of
Speaker 2: the issue.
Speaker 3: Oh maybe it'stick ocky, Okay.
Speaker 2: Hey maybe, but again, we found it. The glitter was
Speaker 2: just discovered when they were making components for a nuclear bomb.
Speaker 2: So of course they weren't going to have anybody even
Speaker 2: in the wing when they were making these components for
Speaker 2: the nuclear bomb.
Speaker 3: Now, granted, I'm curious and I think it has a
Speaker 3: lot to do with nuclear weapons. I think it has
Speaker 3: a lot to do with that kind of stuff. But
Speaker 3: we'll see once we I mean, we got a lot
Speaker 3: to get through and then by the end of this,
Speaker 3: I mean, we'll see what we decide.
Speaker 2: Indeed, so moving on, you see where I leave off
Speaker 2: at here, Revlon, and that fine. I was welcome to
Speaker 2: come down to glitter X headquarters to learn more about
Speaker 2: what I could not learn about in person. The glitter
Speaker 2: factory is located in a beige business park, a short
Speaker 2: walk from the office of a company that makes sidewalks
Speaker 2: for airports and a nutplant. Inside the glitter X Vestibule
Speaker 2: vestibule sure a glass display case burst with glitter suffused products,
Speaker 2: and that I agreed to not describe even vaguely, again
Speaker 2: to the question.
Speaker 3: Like, why the fuck is that so secretive?
Speaker 2: There's this giant glass case when you walk in, but
Speaker 2: it's got glittery products that I can't talk about.
Speaker 3: It's so weird, Like the whole thing is just being
Speaker 3: ridiculously weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like actually, even vaguely, you can't even say,
Speaker 2: like it's a trophy like a sticker. Like I said,
Speaker 2: I couldn't talk about it.
Speaker 3: You know what, we should go to New Jersey and
Speaker 3: try to get try to try to break into this place,
Speaker 3: not really break in obviously were we ask permission first.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we could try to break in,
Speaker 2: and depending on what level of security and what level
Speaker 2: of arrest we get, might dictate a little bit more
Speaker 2: like yo, if we catch federal charges.
Speaker 3: But you know something big, anybody I'd want to talk
Speaker 3: to it would be Henry the junior that's who I'd
Speaker 3: want to go and talk to, because you know, they're
Speaker 3: having a whole land dispute right now that that's like
Speaker 3: super big. The entire town is in on it, the
Speaker 3: entire town. The entire town is trying to figure out
Speaker 3: what because see, it's all about the land that they own,
Speaker 3: and it's like almost two hundred acres and it goes
Speaker 3: on two different sides of rail track and all this stuff,
Speaker 3: and the town itself is not wanting big business people
Speaker 3: to come in or do anything with the land, and
Speaker 3: so the siblings are all fighting. It's it's an open court.
Speaker 3: Like the entire town has shown up for the last
Speaker 3: few years arguing this point about these siblings that are
Speaker 3: the we'll call them the evil ones. They are trying
Speaker 3: to break apart and sell off this land and build
Speaker 3: all sorts of stuff on it, potentially potentially the factory
Speaker 3: he's trying to keep. Henry the junior, is trying to keep.
Speaker 2: So that name Henry.
Speaker 3: I felt like that that was his name now to me,
Speaker 3: But that's he's trying to protect all of this. And
Speaker 3: so it's interesting because that man that factory is still
Speaker 3: technically running.
Speaker 2: I'm wondering now that I've heard it put in this
Speaker 2: way mm hmm. Because it's New Jersey and it's big money,
Speaker 2: like big astronomical money associated with glitter. I'm wondering how
Speaker 2: deep the mafia is embedded on this one. And now
Speaker 2: that you mentioned that there's legalities and big courts and
Speaker 2: they don't want eyes in this area and all this,
Speaker 2: it's like, Oh, it's.
Speaker 3: A point four billion dollar industry that's supposed to go
Speaker 3: up another two billion in the next few years, all.
Speaker 2: Being done by these two small manufacturing facilities in the
Speaker 2: middle of New.
Speaker 3: Jersey in the middle of nowhere too, by the way,
Speaker 3: So like Meadowbrook originated and it still is a cattle farm.
Speaker 2: See, but now that they're a glitter company, those cattle
Speaker 2: are somehow classified as glitter.
Speaker 3: So the glad so they've always been both, yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3: And so it's really so once you dig into that
Speaker 3: specific place, what's hard is I've tried to find information
Speaker 3: on glitter X and it was damn near impossible, right, Like,
Speaker 3: so you can see that it says nineteen sixty three
Speaker 3: that it was invented by this guy. Yeah, when you
Speaker 3: look into him. The only person that I could pull
Speaker 3: up was an actor from India.
Speaker 2: It could be him. Maybe he's starting like a film
Speaker 2: in the nineteen sixties, not.
Speaker 3: Just one film. We're talking tons of films.
Speaker 2: I wonder if Babushetty is like actually a pretty common
Speaker 2: name in India.
Speaker 3: I think it is. But I was trying to find
Speaker 3: and I kept putting in glitter X and I kept
Speaker 3: trying to find more information on like the land that
Speaker 3: it's on, what does it look like? Who owns it?
Speaker 3: Who backing all this stuff?
Speaker 2: Let me find out Bollywood is involved with big glitter,
Speaker 2: Like that's a whole other rabbit holding.
Speaker 3: They even surprise me considering how much glitter they use everywhere.
Speaker 3: But it's crazy because it's you can find information about
Speaker 3: this one coming, but when you try to find anything
Speaker 3: about the siblings and what they've been doing, no, good luck,
Speaker 3: good luck for the last thirty years trying to figure
Speaker 3: out since since Henry the Junior got kicked out, there's
Speaker 3: nothing like you really can't find what they've been doing.
Speaker 3: Now you can find what he mentioned on the interview.
Speaker 3: I was able to trace, like, Okay, so these are
Speaker 3: the people that they used to work with. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: now who knows? It's a dot dot dot kind of
Speaker 3: a situation.
Speaker 2: The connections here are very strange, they are very very
Speaker 2: far flung, but somehow, and I swear cult members, we're
Speaker 2: not like pulling your leg, We're not waiting to pull
Speaker 2: the rug out from under you. All of these things
Speaker 2: connect literally, Mars exploration, boating, yeah, big picture shipping, big
Speaker 2: picture logistics, satellite hubs, military industrial complex, aeronautics, arches, seating,
Speaker 2: cloud seating, all ties in to glitter.
Speaker 3: So that makes me question, like, okay, so is Elon
Speaker 3: involved because you think because Tesla's involved and all their stuff,
Speaker 3: that he uses.
Speaker 2: The Hercules rockets that he used with SpaceX. I used
Speaker 2: to know the rocket engineer and one of the mechanics
Speaker 2: that worked on those at stanis Air Force BA. As
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, they were working on hercules. We
Speaker 2: are going to be talking about the hercules manufacturing company
Speaker 2: that made the rocket fuel, which apparently was glitter. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because by definition everything this company manufactures is glitter.
Speaker 3: There's so much. It's I don't know, it's just a
Speaker 3: weird thing. How all this ties into each other and
Speaker 3: how this is one of those things that no one
Speaker 3: talks about. And also the microplastics that is in everything
Speaker 3: the water, the ground, the atmosphere. Everything now makes it
Speaker 3: makes total sense that it's in males balls because it's
Speaker 3: literally in everything. And everyone thought that it was coming
Speaker 3: from the water bottles and all of that.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying there's no connection.
Speaker 3: I think there is a connection, but I think, actually,
Speaker 3: the more we've done research on this, I actually think
Speaker 3: that it comes from glitter.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't doubt it. It's all right, right, let's get
Speaker 2: into it. So anyway, aside from the display there was
Speaker 2: a scan, there were scant other hints of the building's
Speaker 2: glorious purpose. So let's continue on here. It says that
Speaker 2: this is until one entered the bottling warehouse itself, which
Speaker 2: looked like an industrial manufacturing plant colonized by pixies. The
Speaker 2: concrete floor was finally coated with what appear to be
Speaker 2: crushed moonbeams, the forklift winked with shiny crimson flecks, the
Speaker 2: metal coins of the conveyor belt shone with a rainbow crust.
Speaker 2: And yet the space gave the impression of being tidy
Speaker 2: and well swept, not unlike a dust bowl kitchen in
Speaker 2: the prairie. Top soil had been in technicolor near the entrance.
Speaker 2: Metal shelves taller than a man were laden with over
Speaker 2: one thousand jumbo jars of glitter samples arranged by formulation,
Speaker 2: color and size, emorald hearts, pewter diamonds, and what appeared
Speaker 2: to be samples of the night sky collected from over
Speaker 2: the Atlantic Ocean. There were neon sparkles so pink you
Speaker 2: have only seen them in dreams, and rainbow hues that
Speaker 2: were simultaneously lilac and mint, and all the colors of fire.
Speaker 2: On one shelf, hundreds of jars of iridescent white fairy
Speaker 2: glowed fairly glowed. The prettiest shade was slightly violent, which
Speaker 2: is dope. Many guides through the Glitter Kingdom were Lauren Dyer.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. My guides through the the Glitter Kingdom were
Speaker 2: Lauren Dyer, a glitter X manager, and Jeet Shetty, who
Speaker 2: worked alongside his father. The biggest seller, they told me,
Speaker 2: is always silver. They unscrewed several jars so I could
Speaker 2: compare different silver side by side, sparkly silver and silver
Speaker 2: that flashed with the power of a thousand suns. I
Speaker 2: met with the elder mister Sheddy in a conference room
Speaker 2: in the front of the office, where beneath a glittering
Speaker 2: silhouette style wall hanging of the pre nine to eleven
Speaker 2: New York City skyline, he breathed through several advanced textbooks
Speaker 2: worth of chemical engineering in an attempt to tell me
Speaker 2: what glitter was. This polyester film he began picking up
Speaker 2: with a straw strip of clear material about five inches
Speaker 2: wide people might know as my lar, which if anybody
Speaker 2: doesn't know what my law is, it's basically, unless you
Speaker 2: know what you're looking at, it's gonna look like a
Speaker 2: really thin sheet of shiny plastic. But it's used in
Speaker 2: industry in a whole lot of components. Hell, we used
Speaker 2: to use my larw gaskets to fit up certain components
Speaker 2: with like certain pressurizations, with pipes and things like that.
Speaker 2: But anyway, it's the same polymer used in a water bottle,
Speaker 2: so FDA approved. If you cut this, you'd get a
Speaker 2: clear glitter. The bulk of glitter X's glitter is made
Speaker 2: from plastic, though some varieties come from other sources like aluminum.
Speaker 2: Clear glitter looks like tiny pieces of dead jellyfish. Then
Speaker 2: he said, we go into the next iteration of a substrate,
Speaker 2: where the clear film is metalized. He picked up a
Speaker 2: shiny show silver strip of material. Potato chip bags start
Speaker 2: with the same polyester film. It's metalized with aluminum. So
Speaker 2: if you've ever seen a potato chip bag like the
Speaker 2: little snack size of like a lazed potato chip, it's
Speaker 2: not painted on the outside. That is plastic wrapped aluminum essentially,
Speaker 2: And if you ever throw it in your microwave for
Speaker 2: ten seconds, you'll watch it freak out and like shrink
Speaker 2: down to the size like a quarter. That's because it's
Speaker 2: still an aluminum film that has been essentially wrapped with
Speaker 2: the plastic this polyester like or a polyur thing like
Speaker 2: he's talking about here. Moving on, metaalization, he explained, is
Speaker 2: the process by which aluminum is deposited on both sides
Speaker 2: of the film. This made sense in theory, but how
Speaker 2: could aluminum go from being not in the film or
Speaker 2: not on the film to being on the film without
Speaker 2: at least some scotch tape. They evaporate aluminum and deposit
Speaker 2: it on it, mister Sheddy. Wait, wait, wait, wait, they
Speaker 2: evaporate the aluminum and deposit it on it, said mister Sheddy.
Speaker 2: They're evaporating aluminum what This made sense in theory, But
Speaker 2: how could aluminum be evaporated. It's a very very thin layer.
Speaker 2: They put it in a vacuum chamber, then evaporate the aluminum,
Speaker 2: said mister Sheddy with heat. His son added, what they
Speaker 2: are evaporate or what are they evaporating out of it?
Speaker 2: I asked, aluminum, said mister Sheddy. So they are bringing
Speaker 2: a metal to its vapor point, which is why you're
Speaker 2: putting it under a vacuum. So, again, not to get
Speaker 2: too technical here, but everybody understands that every material on
Speaker 2: Earth has a boiling point. Right, metal has a boiling point,
Speaker 2: which means it also has an evaporation point. The way
Speaker 2: you boil a material with less energy is you pull
Speaker 2: a vacuum because essentially what boiling is you're heating something
Speaker 2: up so much that it goes into its evaporated state
Speaker 2: and it takes it has to go higher than the
Speaker 2: head pressure, so to speak, which is why water boils
Speaker 2: easier in Colorado than it does in Florida. Right, the
Speaker 2: less atmospheric pressure you have, the easier it is to
Speaker 2: boil a substance. Now take that to an industrial scale.
Speaker 2: When you're trying to boil something the same way that
Speaker 2: crude oil gets turned into gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel,
Speaker 2: all the things. You pull a vacuum on the vessel
Speaker 2: to which you're boiling this at and the vapors start
Speaker 2: to form at a much lower heat, which saves the
Speaker 2: company money because less energy costs less money. So I
Speaker 2: have never heard of them doing this to a hardened metal.
Speaker 2: They heat it up. Okay, So they heat it up,
Speaker 2: they pull a vacuum on it, and then they evaporate
Speaker 2: the aluminum. Okay.
Speaker 3: I like how he's just so straightened to the point too.
Speaker 3: He's like, why can't you figure this out?
Speaker 2: I mean, even I even understand how they're talking about it,
Speaker 2: but it still makes no fucking sense to me.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay. So I have no idea how humans figured out
Speaker 2: how to do that or why it occurred to them
Speaker 2: to even try, but it sounds expensive. The primary functions
Speaker 2: of glitter are, of course, esthetic. Glitter exists so that
Speaker 2: glitter can be put on things that do not have
Speaker 2: glitter on them. Wow, popsicle sticks, stuffed animals, arises, Newt gingridge.
Speaker 2: I don't know why Nuke Gingridge has glitter on him,
Speaker 2: but all right, that's the thing. In twenty eleven, the
Speaker 2: then presidential candidate was the first prominent target of a
Speaker 2: glitter bomb protest, when a twenty four year old activist
Speaker 2: named Nick Espinoza doased him with rainbow sparkles at a
Speaker 2: book signing event. Ah, there it is. It was not
Speaker 2: mister Espinoza's first time employing mass quantities to make a point.
Speaker 2: A year prior, he dumped twenty or two thousand pennies
Speaker 2: in front of a Republican gubernational candidate to protest the
Speaker 2: lowering of Minnesota's minimum wage. It may also not have been,
Speaker 2: strictly speaking, a true glitter bombing. News outlets at the
Speaker 2: time ran a photo of mister Espinoza holding up a
Speaker 2: bag of shiny party confetti, but the concept stuck. There
Speaker 2: are a couple ways to achieve a rainbow effect in
Speaker 2: individual glitter particles so useful for politics. Holographic glitter is
Speaker 2: made by embossing a fine pattern onto film so that
Speaker 2: the surface reflects different colors of light in different directions.
Speaker 2: There is nothing intrinsically rainbow colored about glitter itself. Contrasts
Speaker 2: this with more subtle iridescent glitter, which reveals various luminous
Speaker 2: colors depending on the angle at which it is viewed.
Speaker 2: It's made of a multi colored clear film, or a
Speaker 2: multi layer clear film rather composed of polymers with different
Speaker 2: refraction refractive index. Wow, so how many layers is multi
Speaker 2: that's pretty interesting? Two hundred and thirty three? Whoa wow,
Speaker 2: said mister Sheddy and grinned as he waved an almost
Speaker 2: invisible sheet of plastic. It gets very technical, he warned.
Speaker 2: You know the visible spectrum in all I nodded, indicating
Speaker 2: I followed, each layer is half the wavelength of light.
Speaker 2: What what? So they are layering two hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: three layers of film that is half of the half
Speaker 2: of the thickness of a wavelength of light, and they
Speaker 2: are compressing two hundred and thirty three of these and
Speaker 2: then finally just shredding them to get rainbow glitter.
Speaker 8: I had no idea, ah, saying okay, So if you
Speaker 8: want to make something cool a cool color, it is
Speaker 8: almost always impative that the color you select is one
Speaker 8: that the human brain can process.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no shit. The colors of the visible spectrum, arranged
Speaker 2: in order from the longest to shortest wavelengths, are ROYGBIV right,
Speaker 2: the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet? How
Speaker 2: do we perceive them? Something about cones in our eyeballs?
Speaker 2: What are the cones? Detect light waves in lengths between
Speaker 2: about four hundred and seven hundred nanometers. How long is
Speaker 2: a nanometer? The width of a human hair is the
Speaker 2: size of about eighty thousand to one hundred thousand of them,
Speaker 2: So that we're talking about almost inconceivable levels of microscopic particles.
Speaker 2: What is the perfect thing to say to shatter my
Speaker 2: fragile sanity? Each layer is over two hundred and thirty nanometers,
Speaker 2: said mister Sheddy. Wow. So, because red has the largest wavelength,
Speaker 2: the layers of red iridescent film are the thickest. Violent
Speaker 2: iridescent layers are the thinnest. Okay, so mister Sheddy began
Speaker 2: tilting the clear film backward. That's red, he said, and
Speaker 2: as it flashed red, he continued tilting. At some point
Speaker 2: it'll go green, and the film flash green, then blue,
Speaker 2: then violet. He picked up another clear shit sheet and
Speaker 2: began to tilt it. This one skipped red and green,
Speaker 2: starting with a blue flash and then moving to violet
Speaker 2: before appearing clear again. What happens below violet is UV.
Speaker 2: He said, you don't see it, So animals would see
Speaker 2: something there that I can't see. If it can see
Speaker 2: if it can see the ultraviolet range. Yes, the difference
Speaker 2: in thickness of iridescent film strips was imperceptible by touch.
Speaker 2: So we've talked about this too, ultraviolent and like infrared
Speaker 2: and things like that. So just because our human eyes
Speaker 2: can't see it doesn't mean it's not happening. I remember
Speaker 2: blowing Jonathan's mind with this one time, and you, being
Speaker 2: the Marines, you would know this. You remember, I are
Speaker 2: kim lights. Yeah, that's something that a lot of people
Speaker 2: don't know exists.
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 2: So I had to explain to Jonathan that I own
Speaker 2: a chem light that if I was to crack it
Speaker 2: and shake it up and turn the lights off, you
Speaker 2: wouldn't see it, like it would not be glowing. However,
Speaker 2: if I threw on some mvgs on you, it would
Speaker 2: have this room so bright that it would probably blind you.
Speaker 2: And he's like, wait, that's a thing, And I'm like, bro,
Speaker 2: the spectrum of light that humans can see versus the
Speaker 2: spectrum light that's actually happening around us all the time.
Speaker 2: Is two completely different conversations. It's the same with sound,
Speaker 2: it's the same with taste.
Speaker 3: It's so wild to me the different layers and spectrums
Speaker 3: that like, we're such babies compared to what everything else
Speaker 3: is happening around us. And that goes into so many
Speaker 3: different other fields too, So, oh yeah, this is kind
Speaker 3: of crazy, Like how how the hell did they even
Speaker 3: think of This is just I don't know.
Speaker 2: This was a I don't think this was a whole
Speaker 2: lot of trial and error either. I think that this
Speaker 2: was specifically done with a lot of intention and a
Speaker 2: lot of purpose. This took a genius level engineering to
Speaker 2: get to this, like oh yeah, it's just this film
Speaker 2: that has this many nanoparticles and it's this small and like, oh,
Speaker 2: we've industrialized it.
Speaker 3: The way that he describes it to you though, Henry
Speaker 3: the Junior, he's just kind of like, you know, I
Speaker 3: made it. It's like whatever. He's so nonchalant about it
Speaker 3: on the interview.
Speaker 2: It's bullshit. That's that's an engineering marvel. That would have
Speaker 2: flored it.
Speaker 3: I wish I was that smart, Like, seriously, they're so
Speaker 3: crazy and it's always interesting. So many genius level people
Speaker 3: are just like, oh, well, Lake. Didn't you see it? No?
Speaker 2: No, when in my education what I have learned about
Speaker 2: these concepts? My boy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I don't know. There's some crazy. It's so
Speaker 3: many things that people invented that it's just like, how
Speaker 3: did you understand to do this?
Speaker 2: It's again, I don't think that this was by accident.
Speaker 2: The discovery of glitter may or may not have been
Speaker 2: by accident.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that was truly by accident. But then
Speaker 3: what they did from there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, from the atomic bomb to the patent in sixty one,
Speaker 2: I feel like there's some very sizable and serious gaps
Speaker 2: that we're just not privy to to where it was
Speaker 2: like all right here, it's gonna sound fucking crazy, but
Speaker 2: I have an idea cut to It's a multi billion
Speaker 2: dollar a year industry from these two small spots in Jersey.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's crazy to me that they're still being able to
Speaker 3: manufacture the world's glitter the world. How much glitter is
Speaker 3: used globally.
Speaker 2: It's mind blowing. So anyway, let's get back into it here.
Speaker 2: The difference in thickness of the iridescent film strips was
Speaker 2: imperceptible by touch. Well, yeah, obviously there are other more
Speaker 2: obvious sized difference. Of course, craft glitter is the thickest
Speaker 2: and least technologically advanced to remove it, Mister Sheddy recommends
Speaker 2: soap and water or fabric softener sheets to combat the
Speaker 2: plastic static cling. Yeah, good fucking luck, dude.
Speaker 3: Fabric softener sheets.
Speaker 2: Like dryer sheets, which I have heard and I have
Speaker 2: had some success in the past with getting off my
Speaker 2: daughter shit, good luck getting all of it because it
Speaker 2: gets within the fibers of the clothing.
Speaker 3: Well, considering what do you cheer competition in the amount
Speaker 3: of glitter exactly that we use in the amount of
Speaker 3: glitter that I'm about to be a shine like a
Speaker 3: fucking diamond tonight at the Marty parades.
Speaker 2: So uh hey, glitter so fucking much. Anyway, it is
Speaker 2: impossible to recreate the light catching effect of glitter without
Speaker 2: using tiny particles of something, which means that if an
Speaker 2: object looks glittering upon close inspection, a credit card, an
Speaker 2: NFL helmet, a jet ski paint job, there are good
Speaker 2: odds that it contains glitter. Wow everything, So also I
Speaker 2: missed the thing it says the finest is cosmetic glitter
Speaker 2: is used in products designed for lips, that is where
Speaker 2: you'll find the finest particulates of glitter.
Speaker 3: And I have so many different types of glitter too.
Speaker 3: When it comes to makeup like the obscene amount of
Speaker 3: types of glitter I have. I have every kind of size, shape, color,
Speaker 3: you name it.
Speaker 2: I believe you. Researchers and zoo keepers sometimes mix glitter
Speaker 2: with animal feed to track animals, polar bears, elephants, domestic
Speaker 2: cats via sparkly feces.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the poop.
Speaker 2: That's a thing like that. That's a real thing you
Speaker 2: could track. You know, if you got a polar bear
Speaker 2: that you're trying to watch the lifestyle of and where
Speaker 2: they hunt and all these things, you feed them glitter
Speaker 2: in food and then track where they're poop sparkles. That's
Speaker 2: mind blowing.
Speaker 3: I feel like there's so many other things that you
Speaker 3: can potentially give them, maybe like a ship. I don't know,
Speaker 3: but glitter, sure, glitter is it?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 2: Plywood manufacturers insert hidden layers of color glitter in their
Speaker 2: products to prevent counterfeiting.
Speaker 3: Wow, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: I did not either. Because glitter is difficult to remove
Speaker 2: completely from an area into which it has been introduced,
Speaker 2: and because individual varieties can be distinguished under a microscope,
Speaker 2: it can serve as useful crime scene evidence. Years ago,
Speaker 2: the FBI contacted glitter X to catalog samples of its products.
Speaker 2: The average American said, mister Sheddy sees glitter every day.
Speaker 2: Most of it is hexagonal. I had no idea about that.
Speaker 2: And we'll talk about the FBI situation a little more
Speaker 2: in depth later, but yeah, actually we can. I don't
Speaker 2: think we actually had the article pulled up because it's
Speaker 2: very in depth and we could kind of sum it
Speaker 2: up in a few sentences here. So whenever there is
Speaker 2: a crime scene that is being investigated, they can find
Speaker 2: Usually the three points that you're trying to put together
Speaker 2: to make the scene happen and find some sort of
Speaker 2: a suspect would be the place at which had happened,
Speaker 2: the crime that was committed, and the guilty party that
Speaker 2: committed the crime. Because glitter is so hard to remove
Speaker 2: from so many different things. If you can find the
Speaker 2: place where the crime took place, you search it enough
Speaker 2: and you might find a couple of particulates of this
Speaker 2: random color of glitter that you wouldn't even know was
Speaker 2: a glitter thing. Right cut to you find the weapon
Speaker 2: that was used in the murder, and maybe there's a
Speaker 2: particulate of that very same color and size glitter that
Speaker 2: came from the same source. Then you get a couple
Speaker 2: of suspects in a lineup and come to find out
Speaker 2: this one suspect had a little bit of this glitter
Speaker 2: within the left arm of the sweatshirt that they were
Speaker 2: wearing on them for their nail buds or their nail
Speaker 2: bed have like.
Speaker 3: A glitter in the nail bud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and next thing you know, boom, glitter is the
Speaker 2: thing that fingered the purpse, so to speak. And it's
Speaker 2: it's wild. How the that's a technical term. That's a
Speaker 2: technical term.
Speaker 3: I know it is, but yeah, it still has never
Speaker 3: been a very good term. I'll say that.
Speaker 2: I mean, like Freddy Got Fingered was a movie.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Anyway, anyway, the tiniest glitter and glitter
Speaker 3: X makes fifty fifty by seventy five micron.
Speaker 2: Macrons micron micron, so a micron is one thousandth of
Speaker 2: a millimeter. So to give everybody a good perspective on
Speaker 2: that one, look at a ruler.
Speaker 3: Math is terrible for me.
Speaker 2: Look at a ruler and you have inches on one side,
Speaker 2: you have centimeters on the other side, right cool, The
Speaker 2: tiniest little line on that centimeter would be a millimeter.
Speaker 2: Now we are talking about taking that tiny line and
Speaker 2: making a cube, a one millimeter cube, okay, or a
Speaker 2: square a square millimeter rather, excuse me, square millimeter. Now
Speaker 2: we're gonna break that into thousandths of itself. That is
Speaker 2: one micron. So in the industry that I used to
Speaker 2: work in, right everybody that I've talked to, I used
Speaker 2: to work at a sugar refinery in Gramercy rather and
Speaker 2: we had to break up sugar particles in the micron level.
Speaker 2: There were sieves that were being used to be able
Speaker 2: to tell if this is gonna be Like, if the
Speaker 2: sugar crystals were too thick, then we knew that we
Speaker 2: had to adjust something, whether it was the water or
Speaker 2: the heat or whatever. If they were too fine, then
Speaker 2: we had to adjust something because he had to get
Speaker 2: it with inspect That was the thing. They couldn't be
Speaker 2: too big, they couldn't be too small. They had to
Speaker 2: fall within a certain range. Then we had a powdered
Speaker 2: sugar mill that came in, which is basically just pulverized
Speaker 2: crystallized sugar until it gets powdered for him. We are
Speaker 2: talking about things at the X amount of mine chron
Speaker 2: levels glitter, the tiniest is fifty to seventy five thousandths
Speaker 2: of a millimeter. Yeah, that's what we're talking about here.
Speaker 3: Nope, I am not because I am terrible with math.
Speaker 3: I got you, like, I tracked along with you, but
Speaker 3: I'm just like, like, conceptionally wise, I'm like, nope, can't
Speaker 3: figure out how to do peopoop.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I know it's super small. I got that part.
Speaker 2: The minimum order size the company will fill is enough
Speaker 2: to supply sparkle to half a million bottles of nail
Speaker 2: polish by mister Shtty's estimation, which is ten pounds. So
Speaker 2: ten pounds of glitter is enough to give half a
Speaker 2: million bottles of nail polish their sparkle. Wow, that's insane.
Speaker 3: And think about how much they actually produce a day
Speaker 3: and what it goes to mm hmm.
Speaker 2: So prices may vary depending on particle size, the formulations
Speaker 2: and combinations of polymers involved, but at the upper end,
Speaker 2: which is to say, the smaller end, the more microscopic end,
Speaker 2: a ten pound plastic bag of glitter costs about one
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. The company offers over ten thousand varieties. So
Speaker 2: this was all very forthright, but it did not explain
Speaker 2: the air of oppressive secrecy that seems to permeate the
Speaker 2: glitter industry. Did glitter X worry I would describe the
Speaker 2: equipment so accurately that readers might construct their own machines
Speaker 2: to manufacture their own glitter in bulk quantities. Mister Shetty
Speaker 2: said that trade secrets, aside confidentiality, is a top down
Speaker 2: requirement from clients. Companies do not want others in their
Speaker 2: industry to know what glitters are in their products, to
Speaker 2: prevent competitors from making identical formulations. When I asked mister
Speaker 2: Dyer if she or sorry, Miss Dyer, if she could
Speaker 2: tell me which industry served glitter X biggest market, her
Speaker 2: answer was instant no, I absolutely know that I can't.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I was taken back. But you know what
Speaker 2: it is? Oh God, yes, she said, and laughed, and
Speaker 2: you would never guess it. Let's leave it at that.
Speaker 2: I asked her she could tell me why she couldn't
Speaker 2: tell me because they don't want anyone to know that
Speaker 2: it's glitter.
Speaker 3: That's it. That's the line that got everybody.
Speaker 2: They whoever they are, don't want you to know that
Speaker 2: whatever this product is that everybody is apparently using, they
Speaker 2: don't want you to know that it's glitter.
Speaker 3: M h.
Speaker 2: And this is where the realm of speculation begins. Let's continue.
Speaker 2: If I looked at it, I wouldn't know it's glitter? No,
Speaker 2: not really. Would I be able to see the glitter? Oh,
Speaker 2: you'd be able to see something, but it's yeah, I can't.
Speaker 2: I asked if she would tell me off record. She
Speaker 2: would not. I asked if she would tell me off
Speaker 2: the record after this piece was published. She would not.
Speaker 2: I told her I couldn't die without knowing. She guided
Speaker 2: me to the automotive grade.
Speaker 3: Pigment, the nicest way to be like, yeah, no.
Speaker 2: No, what about after this?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: What about after Hey, have you looked at our automotive
Speaker 2: paint section. Let's go there and talk about this now.
Speaker 2: So for those who love glitter, there is wonderful news.
Speaker 2: All modern plastic glitter that has ever been created is
Speaker 2: still right here with us. According to doctor Victoria Miller,
Speaker 2: a material scientist and engineering professor at North Carolina State University.
Speaker 2: The plastic film for which most glitter is made, takes
Speaker 2: us about one thousand years to completely biodegrade on Earth.
Speaker 3: Y'all, this is like one of the most toxic things
Speaker 3: that we have.
Speaker 2: Oh, an aluminum can this I am currently drinking and
Speaker 2: energy drink as I am one to do. An aluminum
Speaker 2: can takes five hundred years to biodegrade and return back
Speaker 2: to the Earth. Glitter takes a thousand. I don't I
Speaker 2: don't think that we can actually like put to words
Speaker 2: how fucking ridiculous this is.
Speaker 3: It's one of those conversations though, that they aren't having
Speaker 3: because because they use it in so many things, they're
Speaker 3: not going to get rid of it. So the whole
Speaker 3: conversation about pollution will we're polluting everything by using glitter?
Speaker 2: So dot, I guess so, because each particle is less
Speaker 2: than five millimeters long, I said, glitter falls under the
Speaker 2: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's definition of microplastic, which, for
Speaker 2: the record, yeah, like this is this is by definition microplastic,
Speaker 2: is it, like, oh, well, by a technicality, No, this
Speaker 2: is literally microplastics, a category of material that has lately
Speaker 2: become a focus of environmental advocacy. In twenty fifteen, for instance,
Speaker 2: President Obama signed an act banning plastic microbeads from rents
Speaker 2: off cosmetics, which, yeah, if y'all remember, y'all, uh soaps
Speaker 2: and things like that that used to have the scrubbable
Speaker 2: little particulates in it that would help you get through dirt,
Speaker 2: y'all know, I is y'all ain't seen those in a while,
Speaker 2: or if you have, they have labels on it to
Speaker 2: say that it's not plastic based. Yeah, this would be
Speaker 2: why this would be wy And for the record, it
Speaker 2: wasn't Obama that put this forward. He might have signed it,
Speaker 2: but it was the environmental agencies that actually put that
Speaker 2: on his desk to sign. While the research is conclusive
Speaker 2: that the world's oceans are a cold stew of man
Speaker 2: made microplastics, the effect of their presence is not fully understood.
Speaker 2: Noah's Ocean Facts web page warns that the these particles
Speaker 2: pose a potential threat to aquatic life, but states that
Speaker 2: not a lot is known about microplastics and their impacts. Yet,
Speaker 2: a more fundamental problem, said mister Miller, is that, like
Speaker 2: all plastics, glitter is a petroleum product. Glitter is a
Speaker 2: petroleum product. It comes directly from fossil fuels and fossil
Speaker 2: fuels are a very finite resource, and we're using them
Speaker 2: to make completely disposable things. So there are natural sources
Speaker 2: of glittery effects, such as mica, which we're gonna talk
Speaker 2: about more in depth later, But this is a substance
Speaker 2: that is used in many cosmetics. It is mainly harvested
Speaker 2: from India, frequently in illegal minds by children. That's the
Speaker 2: other side of that mica conversation we're gonna talk about
Speaker 2: in a bit. But anyway, all right, so just so
Speaker 2: we're clear here, glitter itself, by definition is plastic coded aluminum,
Speaker 2: and even the ones that don't have aluminum in it
Speaker 2: are plastic. Plastics are I'm not gonna say all because
Speaker 2: there are other types of plastics. The vast, vast majority
Speaker 2: of all plastics on Earth come from crude oil. Then
Speaker 2: that's that's not a hot take, that's a that's a
Speaker 2: chemical fact, right, So that's what he's saying. The microplastics
Speaker 2: are still hydrocarbons. There's still petroleum based products, and petroleum
Speaker 2: based products are known to be carcinogenic, so and and
Speaker 2: really hard to get rid of once they are manufacturing
Speaker 2: produced into a product. In short, Doctor Miller was adamant
Speaker 2: that glitter is not good for the environment, but she
Speaker 2: did not advocate a band. I think we've got bigger
Speaker 2: fish to.
Speaker 3: Fry, she said, Wow, Wow, Okay.
Speaker 2: So anyway, we're kind of getting to the end of
Speaker 2: this article. Here says so what is glitter? A manipulation
Speaker 2: of humans in inherent desire for fresh water? An intangible
Speaker 2: light effect made physical, mostly plastic, and often from New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Disposable by design, but it turns out not literally disposable.
Speaker 2: A way to make long winter nights slightly brighter despite
Speaker 2: the offshore presence of Germans an object in which the
Speaker 2: inside of a potato chip bag meets the Aurora borealis.
Speaker 2: I asked Jeet and Baboo to answer the question. I
Speaker 2: would say they are small decorative particles, said Jeet. But
Speaker 2: that's not really correct because there are other small decorative
Speaker 2: particles his father answers or. His father's answer was simple,
Speaker 2: since we're a glitter manufacturer, anything we do is now
Speaker 2: called glitter, So that's what it is.
Speaker 3: That's ominous as a shady dude. The whole thing is shady,
Speaker 3: like the way that he just talks about stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that there's a lot more
Speaker 3: to him and Glitter X than what we what she
Speaker 3: could even find out, oh.
Speaker 2: One thousand percent. But now let's go a little bit
Speaker 2: more in depth here, right, So this is this is
Speaker 2: kind of where it began. This is a there was
Speaker 2: a documentary that was put out. Okay, it's called The
Speaker 2: End of the Glitter Conspiracy. It's on YouTube and it
Speaker 2: was from two years ago. So they were finally able
Speaker 2: to get some type of information, right, and so this
Speaker 2: is the guy who his dad was the one that
Speaker 2: created and invented or discovered however you want a word
Speaker 2: it glitter, Henry the Junior. This, yeah, this is going
Speaker 2: to be a direct from Henry the Junior. And we're
Speaker 2: gonna play just a few minutes of this documentary to
Speaker 2: give the background to it, and then we're gonna go
Speaker 2: further on.
Speaker 3: What's on screen right now is actually the glitter factory
Speaker 3: on the land. Yeah, this is the glitter factory that
Speaker 3: supposedly is still up and running, and that his siblings
Speaker 3: are quite torqued off that he even allowed somebody to
Speaker 3: film it.
Speaker 2: So, I mean, they could get bent. We need to
Speaker 2: know the answers. But let's watch this together, y'all.
Speaker 4: Don we were there shaking hands with the lineage of
Speaker 4: the glitter fortune.
Speaker 7: I'd put an holographic glitter, so when that comes the
Speaker 7: whole story.
Speaker 4: A German immigrant living in he developed a reputation for
Speaker 4: cutting photo films. After years of cutting film for Kodek,
Speaker 4: the US government approached him in photo films. After years
Speaker 4: of cutting film for Kodek, the US government approached him.
Speaker 4: They needed an expert in precision cutting for a mysterious project.
Speaker 7: He got assigned some projects from the government during the
Speaker 7: war to work on the Manhattan Project. And in the
Speaker 7: Manhattan Project, his job was to take micah, which is
Speaker 7: a the mineral comes like this from the ground, and
Speaker 7: his assignment was to take him to make a washer.
Speaker 4: So you said that the government, they came to your.
Speaker 7: Father, They sent the FBI. They checked him out because
Speaker 7: he was German and it was wartime, and they he
Speaker 7: was the only one who was able to find a
Speaker 7: way to grind this make washers from this material. So
Speaker 7: they put the plutonium rod through it, touch it up
Speaker 7: against the uranium and put some dynamite on top, and
Speaker 7: that caused a nuclear reaction.
Speaker 6: It was odd to us that the US military had
Speaker 6: anything to do with a glitter company at all. But
Speaker 6: what Rushman said next made us realize that the Manhattan
Speaker 6: Project had nothing to do with glitter companies. It actually
Speaker 6: created a glitter company, the world's first.
Speaker 7: So when it was spinning to make the washers, a
Speaker 7: little glittery flakes spilled out of the mica. It was
Speaker 7: the first glitter that was commercially used to go under
Speaker 7: Christmas trees because all the employees took it home and
Speaker 7: sold it to drug stores. We mixed it with other stuff.
Speaker 4: So this was like before or after he invented the glitter.
Speaker 7: Wow, this was a glitter that he didn't have to invent.
Speaker 2: It just happened.
Speaker 6: Henry Rushman Senior, the inventor of modern glitter, invented glitter
Speaker 6: by mistake. The core of his business is and always
Speaker 6: has been the precision cutting machines that the US government
Speaker 6: sought after, and it didn't end with the Manhattan Project.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we made radar chef What does that mean. The
Speaker 7: radar chaff is fibers cut up in different lengths, packaged
Speaker 7: into round circles, and they shoot this thing out of
Speaker 7: the back of an aeroplane and it explodes and then
Speaker 7: this is a cloud of these little fibers and the
Speaker 7: radar of the oncoming missile goes for the fibers.
Speaker 2: How do you discover something like that.
Speaker 7: You don't discover it. You take what people want, you know.
Speaker 2: The government came there.
Speaker 7: They come and they say, we want this, Can you
Speaker 7: make it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 7: Always say yes. So people don't know about this stuff.
Speaker 7: We did work with the Picatinny arsenal and you would
Speaker 7: not believe. One of the projects was to make it
Speaker 7: a battery. They didn't tell us the formulation, and it
Speaker 7: produces more electricity than any of these batteries. But it's
Speaker 7: all hush hush. The government doesn't tell anybody what it is.
Speaker 7: They just showed us what it could do. Incredible. We
Speaker 7: had a machine dedicated to making a steel fibers that
Speaker 7: go in the brakes of all the airliners. The catastrophic
Speaker 7: breakup of the gel distributes the heat.
Speaker 6: Up until now, the most popular theories have been based
Speaker 6: in speculation. Now we have official confirmation that glitter is
Speaker 6: actually in all of these things.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of things. There's edible glitter. I didn't
Speaker 7: have much to do with that. There's glitter and toothpaste.
Speaker 7: They cut up a thin film of green whatever it is,
Speaker 7: the minty stuff, and you know they're using a toothbrushes.
Speaker 7: But this isn't my day. This is aluminum and polyastic
Speaker 7: glitter for toothbrushes. You ask a kid which toothbrush they're
Speaker 7: gonna use this one, Ariellow one. They're all gonna take
Speaker 7: those one.
Speaker 6: But the question at hand is who is the biggest buyer.
Speaker 6: I want to clear up a misconception. It's that The
Speaker 6: New York Times didn't ask glitter X about a company,
Speaker 6: but about an industry.
Speaker 2: Of course. Okay, so real quick, the man just broke
Speaker 2: down how glitter was first. I want to use the
Speaker 2: term discovered created.
Speaker 3: I think created is a good term for it. So
Speaker 3: how it first came about was by happy chance.
Speaker 2: From the Manhattan Project. So to cut back here, the
Speaker 2: Kodak Film Company, which you would know for Kodak cameras today,
Speaker 2: hired the dude to do precision cutting on some of
Speaker 2: their film bits.
Speaker 3: And because he was the only one that actually ever
Speaker 3: created this, so he had held the patent for the
Speaker 3: machine that did this.
Speaker 2: This would be very similar to the first guy that
Speaker 2: developed a C and C machine or like a metal
Speaker 2: lathe or something like this, and kept it as a
Speaker 2: super secret for years and years and years until he
Speaker 2: realized there was a market for the bits that came
Speaker 2: off of this, and then decided that well, now I
Speaker 2: am a metal bit company that happens to do cutting,
Speaker 2: but if anybody asks me, we are a cutting company
Speaker 2: that might sell the metal bits. And you see what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, it got nessed up in to the layers
Speaker 2: of obfuscation for lack of better words here. So with
Speaker 2: that the Kodak company bought or not bought, they hired him,
Speaker 2: and because he was the only one that had the
Speaker 2: technology for this precision cutting machine.
Speaker 3: Theymired a German immigrant.
Speaker 2: By the way, before World War Two. Just so we're
Speaker 2: clear that there was a couple of speculations as far
Speaker 2: as oh, well, glitter was given to us by the
Speaker 2: Nazis via Project paper Clip. That's not accurate. This was
Speaker 2: a German immigrant that moved to America prior to the
Speaker 2: Nazis taking over Germany. So just so we're clear, Project
Speaker 2: paper Clip doesn't have much of a place on this one.
Speaker 2: But even still, a German engineer who later was developing
Speaker 2: a component for the Manhattan Project to the tune of
Speaker 2: Micah Washer's yep.
Speaker 3: And without it, the entire thing would never have been
Speaker 3: able to succeed, right like, So we actually kind of
Speaker 3: looked into more of it and the breakdown of it,
Speaker 3: and it definitely would not have happened without this precision
Speaker 3: cutting tool that he created. And he was the only
Speaker 3: one able to actually utilize it and do it to
Speaker 3: such a level to where it was going to allow
Speaker 3: it to explode, right and it was crazy. So without him.
Speaker 3: But when you look up the Manhattan Project, he's not
Speaker 3: mentioned anywhere in it. No. I went to the actual
Speaker 3: website that talks like that, that gives the government official
Speaker 3: narrative and all that stuff, he's not mentioned one single time.
Speaker 2: Well, that also kind of ties in because there's so
Speaker 2: much secrecy surrounding glitter that this guy who was using
Speaker 2: this cutting implement that allegedly no one knew about never
Speaker 2: existed because we can't talk about what it's used for
Speaker 2: or whatever. He didn't even get an honorable mention.
Speaker 3: No he didn't. So he's all the scientists that even
Speaker 3: did some kind of component is mentioned in this he
Speaker 3: is not one single time.
Speaker 2: But you can look up the fact that they had
Speaker 2: to use micah washer's in the building of this That's
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: This smetics of it. They'll show where the washers are located,
Speaker 3: and that in that component is one of the key
Speaker 3: lynch pins to being able to create the atomic bomb.
Speaker 2: And that's why this isn't necessarily conspiratorial as far as
Speaker 2: this statement is concerned. Just because he's not mentioned doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that he wasn't the guy. Because there was only
Speaker 2: one dude with one machine on Earth at that time
Speaker 2: that we know about that could have possibly cut Micah
Speaker 2: into these washers to the specs that were required for
Speaker 2: the nuclear bomb. So we know for a fact that
Speaker 2: he was involved with it. Whether his name is associated
Speaker 2: with the list of credits, if you will or not, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know if it's in this one or if I
Speaker 3: read it in the paper that Henry the Junior wrote what,
Speaker 3: but pretty much he states that the FBI scouted his
Speaker 3: dad for like months, I believe it, and did all
Speaker 3: sorts of stuff before they decided to come about it
Speaker 3: and approach him to utilize this tool. I guess they
Speaker 3: were doing other things and they were watching him this
Speaker 3: whole time.
Speaker 2: So well also because it was during World War two. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: I mean the Manhattan Project happened or was developed after
Speaker 2: we had entered the war, both in Europe and the Pacific.
Speaker 2: So if we got this German engineer, yeah, he might
Speaker 2: have come over a few years ago. But like, how
Speaker 2: loyal to like his home cause is he? Because there
Speaker 2: was a lot of Germans that were living in America
Speaker 2: at that time that were very, very sympathetic and proud
Speaker 2: of the Nazi cause there was marches. There was a
Speaker 2: Nazi party that started in America at one point in time.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there was excuse me, it was a fascist party.
Speaker 2: But if you look at it, it.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that like a secret thing that like they would
Speaker 3: they would go and try to like recruit other people
Speaker 3: that were German.
Speaker 2: It wasn't necessarily secret though, because like remember they had
Speaker 2: an American Communist Party, which they still do technically, but
Speaker 2: like think of it. We've seen Peaky Blinders, right, You
Speaker 2: remember the last season where Oswaldt Moseley was like this
Speaker 2: guy who was starting the British Fascist Party, and the
Speaker 2: last scene they tried killing him and all these things.
Speaker 2: But beside the point, that's a real dude who really
Speaker 2: was trying to start a fascist party in England and
Speaker 2: he was Homeboys with Adolf Hitler. This is pre World
Speaker 2: War Two, okay, right, America had very similar things going on, which,
Speaker 2: for the record, old Granddaddy Bush.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, oh yeah, you can get into the politicians
Speaker 3: because they're fucking corrupt every which way from Sunday set there.
Speaker 2: But there was a lot of American industries that were
Speaker 2: actually very pro Nazi Germany before America started fighting them.
Speaker 3: What's fascinating is so my dad loved Germany and like
Speaker 3: believed heavily in German engineering. Oh, for sure, lots of
Speaker 3: different things over engineering, but yeah, that's it. They're some
Speaker 3: of the most I would wager them in Japan or
Speaker 3: neck and neck when it comes to engineering things. Now,
Speaker 3: China does have a lot of things that they produced too.
Speaker 2: They stole a lot of that though, so do we.
Speaker 3: But I will say that the Germans, when you look
Speaker 3: at a lot of their stuff that they've created, it's
Speaker 3: crazy the level of engineering that they've had over the
Speaker 3: last century to that point.
Speaker 2: The refiner I used to work at our centrifugal machines
Speaker 2: were developed by Germans and we had to get German
Speaker 2: representatives to come in to calibrate certain components once a
Speaker 2: year because nowhere else could produce this shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is kind of ties into this. So
Speaker 3: Germany has when I was looking into other research for
Speaker 3: a show a while back, they have this group that
Speaker 3: is weird how it ties into every freaking body. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but it is an environmental group on the surface, right,
Speaker 3: So on the surface, it is a first and foremost
Speaker 3: is a firm that helps businesses be able to grow
Speaker 3: their businesses, and they all are under this umbrella. Then
Speaker 3: you look at the next level of it and they're
Speaker 3: an environmental firm.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 3: But then when you actually start really finding and trying
Speaker 3: to see who utilizes them, because they have a list
Speaker 3: of some of the people that they use. They are
Speaker 3: tied to every single industry globally, and they have their
Speaker 3: hands in every single country. And I don't doubt that
Speaker 3: this that glitter X is involved with them because they
Speaker 3: all have profiles. It's crazy, all the big name companies
Speaker 3: have profiles underneath this umbrella that works and operates out
Speaker 3: of Germany, but somehow has Swiss bank accounts and like
Speaker 3: it's this whole conglomerate of things. But their main thing
Speaker 3: is pushing for the environmental things i e. Also AI
Speaker 3: and solar energy and all this stuff. This is what
Speaker 3: the surface level if you look at their page, talks about.
Speaker 3: But once you start digging into their page and following
Speaker 3: the money trail and who they actually are involved in, No,
Speaker 3: they got linked. I found them because of vaccines. That's
Speaker 3: how I found them because they back a whole bunch
Speaker 3: of the vaccine top vaccine groups. I found their name
Speaker 3: at the bottom of their of their lists of like
Speaker 3: you know, sponsors and all of that. I found them
Speaker 3: at the very bottom. And so that's how I try
Speaker 3: some back. And it's crazy though, if you go and
Speaker 3: you think about wanting to research some of these companies,
Speaker 3: you need to dive into the actual website, but look
Speaker 3: for the very bottom of every page. That's where you'll
Speaker 3: start to find stuff because they have to list who
Speaker 3: is helping them, at least some of them, or my
Speaker 3: favorite is third party. Yeah, that's what you'll just say,
Speaker 3: third party.
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing. So, okay, these government contracts
Speaker 2: usually they're third party contractors. So like let's say, just
Speaker 2: throwing out an example here, Lockheed Martin gets a government
Speaker 2: contract to build some new space component, some new aircraft components,
Speaker 2: some new component to go on a basic M sixteen.
Speaker 2: Who knows they're not going to develop it themselves unless
Speaker 2: they there's some sort of a industry secret to their
Speaker 2: devices that they need to make in house. It's always
Speaker 2: cheaper and oftentimes better for the plausible deniability aspect if
Speaker 2: you third party that shit, which is when companies will
Speaker 2: come in and so it'll be, like you said, under
Speaker 2: the umbrella of right. So going back to what the
Speaker 2: guy said, he brought up Picatinny Arsenal. Now, for anybody
Speaker 2: who is curious, if you've ever seen a M sixteen
Speaker 2: or an AKA, any type of rifle in today's world
Speaker 2: that has the rail systems on it where you could
Speaker 2: slide on a mount, a light, a scope, whatever, that
Speaker 2: is called a Picatindy rail system because they are the
Speaker 2: ones that developed the rail system to go on all
Speaker 2: these weapons.
Speaker 3: That's saying no idea, yeah, things that you learned today.
Speaker 2: So also Picatinny Arsenal, like they were talking about just now,
Speaker 2: they developed somehow a glitter company developed a battery component
Speaker 2: for them. So and I was like, wait a minute,
Speaker 2: the company that made the rail systems for weapons is
Speaker 2: also big into the battery industry. But again we are
Speaker 2: talking about the military industrial complex, and that's everything is
Speaker 2: connected to everything, and everybody makes anything that you could want,
Speaker 2: because that's how this goes.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 2: Picatinny Arsenal is a key army hub for weapons and
Speaker 2: AMMO research and development, involved in developing advanced batteries for
Speaker 2: soldiers and artillery research, extreme condition power, and fielding new
Speaker 2: systems like the mid Range Capability or MRC missile batteries,
Speaker 2: all while dealing with related engineering and logistics. They work
Speaker 2: on everything from soldier warm power sources to large scale
Speaker 2: artillery components, innovating to make batteries lighter, last longer, and
Speaker 2: work in harsh environments. So just so we're clear, this
Speaker 2: old man that was just talking, he's not just talking
Speaker 2: that shit over here. He was talking about a battery
Speaker 2: component that they developed long before we even knew that
Speaker 2: they had this, that they were working on and cut too.
Speaker 2: Now we have drones. Everybody remembers those to cut back too.
Speaker 2: All of these orbs floating over New Jersey.
Speaker 3: You mean glitter bombs.
Speaker 2: I actually believe that those were drones. For the most part.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying there was no UFOs, y'all, calm down.
Speaker 2: But I'm saying that the majority I believe were drones,
Speaker 2: and I believe they were testing out new battery capabilities.
Speaker 2: And that's also why I was such a big secret,
Speaker 2: because these orbs were staying airborne for six to eight
Speaker 2: hours at a time. No one else on Earth currently
Speaker 2: can make a battery in a drone last that long.
Speaker 2: Nobody's got a drone that can go that long without
Speaker 2: coming back to reboot and redock and get new batteries.
Speaker 2: So if America's got that technology, I can't express how
Speaker 2: much of a competitive edge that gives us against our enemies.
Speaker 2: But could it be that Picatinny Arsenal has been working
Speaker 2: on this behind the scenes for the American governments in
Speaker 2: the military for years and years yep, I think. So
Speaker 2: we talk about advanced soldier batteries, Extreme condition power, artillery, ammunitions.
Speaker 2: They are involved in fielding and improving artillery systems like
Speaker 2: the M one one nine eight three howitzer and developing
Speaker 2: missile systems like the MRC. They also are big with
Speaker 2: AMMO and r DECK, which is the Program Executive Office
Speaker 2: Ammunition and the Armament Research and Development and Engineering Center WOW.
Speaker 3: I mean, but he even stated that they that they
Speaker 3: helped the military with what do they call again starts
Speaker 3: with an S the stuff that shoot out the battomplane.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Yeah, that they created that.
Speaker 2: Which we're going to talk about that with the aerospace
Speaker 2: thing here in a minute, for sure. But also I
Speaker 2: wanted to kind of circle over to this one because
Speaker 2: I feel like I've brought this up before. I know
Speaker 2: there's a lot of conspiracy people that believe that nuclear
Speaker 2: bombs aren't real.
Speaker 3: You told me this yesterday, and I've actually never heard
Speaker 3: of this, so I'm sure other people have not heard
Speaker 3: of this either.
Speaker 2: So just so everybody's clear, when the Manhattan Project was
Speaker 2: in its very early infancy stages, they were trying to
Speaker 2: make a successful nuclear explosion happen, right, and the way
Speaker 2: they did that, and then the components and the materials
Speaker 2: and all of these things. We had to use uranium
Speaker 2: that was mined from Africa. We had to use plutonium
Speaker 2: that we developed in a lab in America. We had
Speaker 2: to use dynamite. We had to use all these things.
Speaker 2: But everything had to be done in such a specific order,
Speaker 2: and that's why it was so hard to like crack
Speaker 2: the code so to speak. But I also think it's
Speaker 2: kind of poetic justice and how it all comes full
Speaker 2: circle that the guy that was the d lynchpin for
Speaker 2: creating the Michael Washers to make the atomic bomb happen
Speaker 2: was hired from the Kodak Company and then cut to
Speaker 2: the Kodak company was the first group to actually understand
Speaker 2: and know when America's had successfully detonated an atomic explosion.
Speaker 3: This is wild. Yes, I mean I want you to
Speaker 3: read this article because that was crazy. When you explain
Speaker 3: it to me, I'm like, no, why so?
Speaker 2: And I've talked about it before, but I'm this article
Speaker 2: is going to do a way better job of explaining
Speaker 2: it than I have ever done. But here it is.
Speaker 2: When Kodak accidentally discovered a bomb testing. Yeah, so, two
Speaker 2: thousand miles away from the USA bomb testing in nineteen
Speaker 2: forty five, something weird was happening to Kodak film. The
Speaker 2: ground shook a brilliant white flash and belt the sky
Speaker 2: and the world changed forever code name Trinity. The bomb
Speaker 2: test at dawn on July sixteenth, nineteen forty five in Alamore,
Speaker 2: Alama Gordo, New Mexico, was the first large scale atomic
Speaker 2: weapon testing in history. Only three weeks, two atomic bombs
Speaker 2: were dropped on Japan, more than nineteen hundred miles away.
Speaker 2: In Rochester, New York, the headquarters of Eastman Kodak, a
Speaker 2: flood of complaints came in from business customers who had
Speaker 2: recently purchased sensitive X ray film from the company. Black
Speaker 2: exposes or black exposed spots on the film, or fogging
Speaker 2: as it's called, had rendered it unusable. The perplexed. This
Speaker 2: perplexed many Kodak scientists who had gone to great links
Speaker 2: to prevent contaminations like this. So here we go. Julia H.
Speaker 2: Or Julian H. Webb, a physicist in Kodak's research department,
Speaker 2: took out upon himself to dig deeper and test the
Speaker 2: destroyed film. What he uncovered was shocking. The fogging of
Speaker 2: Kodak's film and the Trinity test in New Mexico were
Speaker 2: eerily connected, revealing some chilling secrets about the nuclear age.
Speaker 2: So here's how it all started, right when Kodak had
Speaker 2: a problem with its packaging. Even today, X ray film
Speaker 2: is high daily sensitive, much more sensitive than regular photographic film,
Speaker 2: and subject to ruin due to dirt, scratches and even
Speaker 2: minimal light exposure. Proper packaging and protection is essential to
Speaker 2: make sure the film gets from manufacturing to shipping to
Speaker 2: the customer's place of business safely. According to an article
Speaker 2: web Would write in nineteen forty nine for the American
Speaker 2: Physical Society, the paper and cardboard use for the packaging
Speaker 2: in the nineteen forties were often salvaged from wartime manufacturing
Speaker 2: plants where radium based instruments were also produced. So radium
Speaker 2: is a naturally occurring radioactive element that can cause flex
Speaker 2: ill or spots or fogging when quote in intimate contact
Speaker 2: with sensitive film for a period of several weeks. So
Speaker 2: during wartime, Kodeac took precautions to avoid radium contamination. It
Speaker 2: moved packaging manufacturing to mills where kode Act had full
Speaker 2: control over the raw materials, so like even the cardboard
Speaker 2: that the sheets of film are being sent in. They
Speaker 2: went through all all of this testing to make sure
Speaker 2: that there was nothing even potentially radioactive that could touch
Speaker 2: the film. Otherwise it's super expensive X ray film that
Speaker 2: all these doctor's offices and shit we're using, we're going
Speaker 2: to be unusable and Kodak will lose money and credibility.
Speaker 3: Which crazy I thought it was interesting that it was
Speaker 3: code nemed Trinity.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I thought about the matrix and I was like, hmmm,
Speaker 3: it's weird. There's a lot of references to the Matrix
Speaker 3: characters throughout history, yea.
Speaker 2: Or is it the matrix movies made reference to a
Speaker 2: bunch of characters from history.
Speaker 3: The matrix theory in and of itself is really an
Speaker 3: interesting one to me, but it is so.
Speaker 2: One of these mills was located at along the Wabash
Speaker 2: River in ving Scenes, Indiana. Probably mispronounced that my bad.
Speaker 2: It specialized in producing strawboard, used as a stiffener board
Speaker 2: between sheets of film. When Web investigated the mysterious fogging
Speaker 2: in the nineteen forty five situation, he found that it
Speaker 2: originated not from the X ray film itself, but from
Speaker 2: the packaging, which he tracked to this particular mill, and
Speaker 2: specifically the production run of strawboard from August sixth, nineteen
Speaker 2: forty five. After testing the radioactive material on the strawboard,
Speaker 2: he discovered rather alarmingly that the spots on the film
Speaker 2: were not caused by radium nor any other naturally occurring
Speaker 2: radioactive material, but quote a new type of radioactive contaminant
Speaker 2: not hitherto encountered what was this unknown radioactive material? He
Speaker 2: must have wondered, and what was it doing in southwest Indiana?
Speaker 2: So the prolific fission products. In January of nineteen forty two,
Speaker 2: less than four years after the Berlin chemists first split
Speaker 2: the uranium adam, the United States government secretly launched the
Speaker 2: Manhattan Project. Spurred by a letter from Albert Einstein saying
Speaker 2: that the Germans were pursuing the bomb, President Franklin Roosevelt
Speaker 2: approved federal funding for uranium research in nineteen thirty nine.
Speaker 2: Later that year, reports indicated it was possible to create
Speaker 2: an extremely powerful bomb from enriched uranium. Later, plutonium was
Speaker 2: discovered to have similar destructive properties. Imminent scientists n of R.
Speaker 2: Bush And for the record, no, that's not connected to
Speaker 2: the president Bush or the political dynasty. I just wanted
Speaker 2: to make that understood. Vanover Busch was a different guy
Speaker 2: for that one. You'd have to go to Prescott Bush.
Speaker 2: But anyway, vanover Bush hastily compiled a list of resources
Speaker 2: including materials, equipment, money, and scientists needed to make the
Speaker 2: bomb a physical reality. A month after Pearl Harbor pushed
Speaker 2: the US into war, FDR approved Bush's list with one
Speaker 2: simple handwritten note VB. Okay returned, I think you had
Speaker 2: the best. Keep this in your own safe FDR. Three
Speaker 2: days after Christmas in nineteen forty two, the Manhattan Project
Speaker 2: was officially authorized. By nineteen forty five, the US had
Speaker 2: plutonium based atomic bomb ready for testing, called Gadget. The
Speaker 2: experiment was set for the Trinity test site, so named
Speaker 2: by Manhattan Project leader Robert J. Oppertheimer probably heard of
Speaker 2: him in homage to the work of English poet John
Speaker 2: Dunn doan Excuse me on him. At five thirty am
Speaker 2: on the hot desert morning, the atomic age began. The
Speaker 2: bomb exploded and released eighteen point six kilo tons of
Speaker 2: unimaginable power. In a nanosecond, an orange fireball reached the heavens,
Speaker 2: followed by a column that quickly flattened into the now
Speaker 2: iconic image of the mushroom cloud. The test was tremendous,
Speaker 2: or was a tremendous success, at least in the eyes
Speaker 2: of those hoping to use it as a weapon. It
Speaker 2: far exceeded expectations in terms of power, as the blast
Speaker 2: re released as much as three times more force than anticipated.
Speaker 2: It was reported that the fireball could be seen as
Speaker 2: far as two hundred and fifty miles away. Soon, Julian
Speaker 2: Webb would discover the impact was felt much further. So,
Speaker 2: once again, I understand a lot of people are gonna say, oh,
Speaker 2: that's all government propaganda. Nuclear bombs don't exist. B bu bup.
Speaker 2: Here's the deal. You want to say that this was
Speaker 2: a crazy stack of dynamite that was able to produce
Speaker 2: that cloud and that explosion. All right, I understand that. Sure,
Speaker 2: you want to say that the I know, I can
Speaker 2: understand at least their talking point. I know out loud
Speaker 2: that sounds retarded, but I'm trying to I'm trying to
Speaker 2: go to the masses here. You want to say that
Speaker 2: with the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing, you had that one
Speaker 2: guy that was in both explosions, and he lived and
Speaker 2: a whole full life and never had any kind of
Speaker 2: radioactive issues alien kind of Yes, here's the thing. And
Speaker 2: I've explained this before, but I'll do it a little
Speaker 2: bit better here to say that you don't believe in
Speaker 2: the atomic bombs because there's no radioactive fallout after one
Speaker 2: of these bombs goes off. All right, In my hand
Speaker 2: right now is a thirty eight caliber hollow point. If
Speaker 2: you were to say that you don't believe in gunpowder,
Speaker 2: because after you fire a bullet, you never find any
Speaker 2: remnants of gunpowder within the shell case, and clearly gunpowders
Speaker 2: inside job and a conspiracy. The reason is because all
Speaker 2: of the gunpowder was exploded to send the bullet out
Speaker 2: the barrel. Right. The same can be said for nuclear bombs.
Speaker 2: The reason why you do not have long term radioactive
Speaker 2: fallout after a nuclear bomb goes off is because all
Speaker 2: the radioactive materials were used in the explosion. Does this
Speaker 2: make sense to people? Did illuse you?
Speaker 3: No, you didn't lose me. I'm just I'm letting you
Speaker 3: rant about it.
Speaker 5: I just know.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to rant. I'm trying to explain why
Speaker 2: you have radioactive fallout from sites like.
Speaker 3: No, I'm completely I mean, I understand this. I was just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Chernobyl is different. Chernobyl is a nuclear fire
Speaker 2: that has been going on for forever. Fukushima is different
Speaker 2: because that's radioactive leaking into water.
Speaker 3: It's still leaking.
Speaker 2: Test sites where like the Bikini atullt where America tested
Speaker 2: so many nuclear bombs that over a course of years
Speaker 2: to where you had local civilizations that were downwinders that
Speaker 2: had not just one exposure some radioactive particles, they were
Speaker 2: getting blown on them for years. So they got it
Speaker 2: that's a little different. One atomic bomb going off, you're
Speaker 2: gonna have some quote unquote radioactive you know, situations there
Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks maybe, But the vast majority
Speaker 2: of the radioactive elements were used in the explosion. But
Speaker 2: to say that these are fake, if that was true,
Speaker 2: Kodak would have never found this on their film. So
Speaker 2: while he studied the Indiana samples, Web got word that
Speaker 2: the particular product run of strawboard from a plant in Tama,
Speaker 2: Iowa was also contaminated and fogging the Kodak film it carried.
Speaker 2: While Tama was four hundred and fifty miles away from
Speaker 2: where he was. There were striking similarities. The two production
Speaker 2: runs of strawboard had been completed within a month of
Speaker 2: each other. Tama's radioactive spots also failed the radium test,
Speaker 2: meaning the cause was something else. Most telling, however, was
Speaker 2: that both mills sat next to rivers, with the Vincines
Speaker 2: and the Wabash rivers and the Iowa River cutting through Tama,
Speaker 2: so all of these things had to do with the
Speaker 2: local water source. Web found that the strawboard from both
Speaker 2: mills had a significant concentration of beta particle radiation activity,
Speaker 2: but little to no alpha activity. Particle radiation can penetrate
Speaker 2: paper human skin and are sometimes considered dangerous. Alpha particle
Speaker 2: radiation is stopped by paper, easily absorbed, and generally considered
Speaker 2: safe if not ingested. Additionally, photographic evidence allowed Web to
Speaker 2: estimate the half life of the artificial radioactive materials he
Speaker 2: was seeking at approximately thirty days. The results corresponded to
Speaker 2: the presence of an artificial radioactive material he would later
Speaker 2: identify as serium one four one, which is quote one
Speaker 2: of the most prolific fission products of the atomic bomb
Speaker 2: end quote, so let's continue here. Furthermore, Web concluded that
Speaker 2: there was no possible way the straw could could be
Speaker 2: the carrier of the contaminant since it was sorted in
Speaker 2: warehouses and not outside for a considerable amount of time
Speaker 2: prior to being used. Had the serium one four one
Speaker 2: gotten directly into the straw, it would have decayed by
Speaker 2: the time the straw had been was processed, rendering the
Speaker 2: radiation hardly detectable. This brought Web to a frightening explanation.
Speaker 2: Can examination came from the river water, additional evidence would
Speaker 2: fall in the rain. According to Web's stronger activity occurred
Speaker 2: in the strawboard after periods of heavy precipitation, establishing that
Speaker 2: the radioactive material was being deposited via precipitation and came
Speaker 2: from a far flung place. So while it's unclear whether
Speaker 2: Web knew about the Trinity tests when he was conducting
Speaker 2: his research in forty five, his report from nineteen forty
Speaker 2: nine was unabashedly clear. The most likely explanation for the
Speaker 2: source of this radioactive contaminant appears to be that it
Speaker 2: consisted of wind born radioactive fission products derived from the
Speaker 2: atomic bomb detonation in New Mexico on July sixteenth, nineteen
Speaker 2: forty five.
Speaker 3: Straight called them ount a hard core yeah.
Speaker 2: So now we get to the whole keeping it quiet thing.
Speaker 2: Web wasn't the only one who felt or who knew
Speaker 2: the fallout could travel vast distances. As the years passed,
Speaker 2: he became increasingly clear that the United States government knew
Speaker 2: the fact's ear on. Immediately following the Trinity test, the
Speaker 2: Manhattan Project's chief of Radiology Safety Stanford Stafford Warren warned
Speaker 2: that the test needed to be conducted at least one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty miles from civilian populations. In nineteen forty eight,
Speaker 2: the US Air Force meteorologist Colonel B. G. Holsman recommended
Speaker 2: establishing a new nuclear test site on the east coast
Speaker 2: rather than in the west, because western winds carry fallout
Speaker 2: across the continental US. Despite this recommendation, the Nevada Proving
Speaker 2: Ground later the Nevada Test Site was established in nineteen fifty.
Speaker 2: So I'm not going to read the rest of the
Speaker 2: article because we pretty much got the overall point here. Essentially,
Speaker 2: whenever your boy found this out, he called the US government,
Speaker 2: He called the FBI, and he called whoever he could
Speaker 2: be like, Hey, listen, I don't know what you're doing
Speaker 2: in Nevada, but I know how the winds were blowing
Speaker 2: from this time to this time of this year, and
Speaker 2: I know that these fission parts goals and this season
Speaker 2: one one can't happen naturally. So what we're asking is
Speaker 2: because we're losing money on this, and we're probably the
Speaker 2: only ones that are ever going to be able to
Speaker 2: detect what you're doing because it affects our product, Could
Speaker 2: you give us a heads up whenever you're about to
Speaker 2: do whatever it is that you're doing over there again
Speaker 2: so that we know to not run this particular water
Speaker 2: or this particular board or whatever for our film. The
Speaker 2: government's response was essentially, we don't know what the fuck
Speaker 2: you're talking about, mister guy from Kodak, but we will
Speaker 2: be giving you a heads up a few weeks prior
Speaker 2: to unnamed events that you are describing from now on,
Speaker 2: because we really do like your products and we're not
Speaker 2: trying to cut the legs out from under American businesses,
Speaker 2: so we'll give you a heads up. But also, we
Speaker 2: don't know what the fuck you're talking about, and you're
Speaker 2: not calling anybody else about this, understood. He's like, got you,
Speaker 2: mister government. So that's a sin. Actually how this went down? Okay,
Speaker 2: so again it's really crazy how this all came full circle.
Speaker 2: Kodak discovered that the nuclear testing was successful before all.
Speaker 3: Eloy that old boy helped make from Kodak. Yes, like
Speaker 3: it all comes about.
Speaker 2: It's a very strange connection, but at the same time
Speaker 2: it is there. Now, let's get back or do you
Speaker 2: want to go back.
Speaker 3: To the video no, So this is so he brought
Speaker 3: up Hercules when he was talking. So this is actually
Speaker 3: just like the company's history. This is actually really interesting website.
Speaker 3: This talks all about history of all different types of
Speaker 3: country all across America. Yeah, and it talks about the
Speaker 3: entire scope of their history and background. But I just
Speaker 3: wanted to read like a quick thing for them. And
Speaker 3: so the DuPont breakup of all the circle of all
Speaker 3: the industry and stuff like that happened in nineteen twelve.
Speaker 3: These freaking ads, I yeah.
Speaker 2: The advertisements on this website.
Speaker 3: Are atrocious, and so I just wanted to kind of
Speaker 3: show though, because they manufactured cotton celluloas and that what.
Speaker 2: Is happening website, Dude, I don't know.
Speaker 3: And so it's interesting because cellulos is one of the
Speaker 3: things that they're using for litter as well, right, And
Speaker 3: so he actually talks about Henry Junior talks about how
Speaker 3: they sell to their friends down the street in Delaware,
Speaker 3: which is hercules, and they actually make they diversify rocket
Speaker 3: fuels and propulsion systems. They are they have heavy industry
Speaker 3: and all sorts of things, and so it's I just
Speaker 3: thought it was an interesting thing though that they were
Speaker 3: able to sell to these people that are doing all
Speaker 3: of this stuff as well. Yeah, I be able to
Speaker 3: read this.
Speaker 2: We're not going to be able to unless.
Speaker 3: It's a small it's an explosion company. They have, like
Speaker 3: one of the sub sectors of their company is explosives.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to read this list off before we
Speaker 2: could do anything else here.
Speaker 3: I already read what I wanted to. But yeah, So,
Speaker 3: the company's history is a manufacturing specially chemicals and materials
Speaker 3: used in pulp and paper, food, pharmaceuticals, personal care, paints, adhesive,
Speaker 3: constructive materials industry. The company has four main divisions and
Speaker 3: so one of them is leading provider of products that
Speaker 3: are used for physical properties and water based systems, the
Speaker 3: fiber of visions. Hold, we can't see it because of
Speaker 3: the stupid thing.
Speaker 2: This is insane that we're not going to be able to. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: long story short, The Hercules Company, if anybody wants to
Speaker 2: look into them, are involved in a whole lot of industries.
Speaker 3: So you see there are leading producers of thermal bonded
Speaker 3: poly proplane steeple fibers, various texture fibers. Their edited division
Speaker 3: is plywood, and there's all sorts of stuff. They also
Speaker 3: do the detonation stuff, They do water treatment solutions. They
Speaker 3: have many areas that this company in and of itself
Speaker 3: is actually involved in, and the early history of it
Speaker 3: is clear that they like were buddies. They tied into
Speaker 3: each other and they were selling them glitter products, and
Speaker 3: I think they still are for all various types of reasons.
Speaker 2: Which it also makes sense because DuPont is one of
Speaker 2: the big ones as far as the uh you know,
Speaker 2: the robber baron age and these these huge magnates that
Speaker 2: were worth more money than God or and all these things. Right,
Speaker 2: DuPont was one of them, and they also got hit
Speaker 2: with the anti trust laws at one point in time,
Speaker 2: the government made them break up their quote unquote monopoly
Speaker 2: on so many things. So the Hercules Powder Company is
Speaker 2: one of these companies that was a split off of DuPont,
Speaker 2: but it's still somehow under that same umbrella. So when
Speaker 2: we hear about how they do paints and things like that,
Speaker 2: everybody thinks of DuPont. They think of paint, you think
Speaker 2: of chemical manufacturing, you think of these types of things.
Speaker 2: But would you also think possibly explosives and dynamite.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So DuPont. They never actually lost their retention in
Speaker 3: Hercules itself. The president of Hercules was later related to
Speaker 3: the two DuPont du Pont family in nineteen seventy. They
Speaker 3: never actually so a lot of their stuffy they had
Speaker 3: to like you know, break up and all these things.
Speaker 3: But Hercules though, they never actually got rid of and
Speaker 3: they never lost any interest in this company, and it's
Speaker 3: one of the largest. Hercules developed into one of the
Speaker 3: larger chemical companies in the United States, which the chemicals
Speaker 3: are being used also with glitter as well, and same
Speaker 3: with the explosions because you know when we're he said
Speaker 3: that it's in a lot of different areas of things,
Speaker 3: and so glitter is being used and funded. This is
Speaker 3: one of their big contributors to their company from the
Speaker 3: ground up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like from the old days.
Speaker 3: Yeah, from the old days to now. This is this
Speaker 3: is one of their buddies that has been buying a
Speaker 3: lot of their shit for a long time because they're
Speaker 3: in Delaware and they're close. And he was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: down the street the Hercules company, and that's you know,
Speaker 3: we sell to them all the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I thought it was an interesting little thing
Speaker 3: about Hercules powder and everything like that, and how it's
Speaker 3: all interconnected with them absolutely is.
Speaker 2: So now we're getting back to the whole glitter conversation
Speaker 2: and really and truly the process right and how it's
Speaker 2: used to what levels, to what depths. So now we
Speaker 2: get this article pulled up from PFFC online. Glitters progress, shapes, sizes,
Speaker 2: textual effects and applications grew steadily. Cuts originally were square,
Speaker 2: but Rushman found that a hexagon shape was more pleasing
Speaker 2: to the eye and left less scrap and waste For
Speaker 2: sizes and shapes. A large cut produced a lively mini
Speaker 2: highlighted surface. So again, as you're just talking about the
Speaker 2: DuPont company and the Hercules company and the paints and
Speaker 2: all these things, there's certain groups that we're going to
Speaker 2: talk about here in just a minute that you could
Speaker 2: totally understand why the glitter would be used, right, Automotive paint,
Speaker 2: just paints in general, whether it's nail polished, boat paint, whatever.
Speaker 2: I understand why you would want it to be a
Speaker 2: little shiny. Yeah, But again, so many other components that
Speaker 2: are being used with this glitter that you wouldn't understand,
Speaker 2: and I don't understand why it's being used honestly anyway.
Speaker 2: Continuing on, glitter would be applied to metal, wood, paper, fabrics, plastics, inks, paints,
Speaker 2: and other materials. It would be sprayed, knife coded, roller coded,
Speaker 2: screen printed, rota printed. I don't even know what the
Speaker 2: fucks that's supposed to be, rota gravure, rotograver.
Speaker 3: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Okay, casts, extruded, injected, molded, laminated, or incorporated in basic
Speaker 2: raw materials. During the nineteen sixties, son Henry W. Rushman
Speaker 2: joined Meadowbrook Inventions, working his way up to the Chief
Speaker 2: operating officer in charge of production or product development, purchasing
Speaker 2: and sales. The product development he would source, for example,
Speaker 2: the most brilliant and weather resistant aluminum and polyester, and
Speaker 2: would work with customers to design glitter for each customer's process.
Speaker 2: He instituted quality control to assure batch to batch uniformity
Speaker 2: in brightness, size, shape, and dimensions. Meadow Brook Inventions built
Speaker 2: its own shaker screeners, which made two cuts, one on
Speaker 2: size and rejects from the high speed precision cut glitter chips.
Speaker 2: Glitter was selling worldwide during the early nineteen sixties. Meadow
Speaker 2: Brook averaged two and a half tons of glitter per
Speaker 2: day and by the nineteen seventies five tons per day.
Speaker 3: So he is the junior and he's the one that
Speaker 3: got fired.
Speaker 2: Well, no, this is the daddy.
Speaker 3: No, this is the junior that did this. They just
Speaker 3: said rush Sun Henry. So this is Henry, the junior
Speaker 3: son Rushman. Yeah, okay, this is the junior and he
Speaker 3: took over and so he actually was helping create and
Speaker 3: invent all of these things, and then he got fired
Speaker 3: as COO from the company after he had already made
Speaker 3: it to this point, when he got it to the
Speaker 3: five tons per day. Yeah, so he was like really
Speaker 3: manufacturing all of this. And actually this article is co
Speaker 3: written by him. That's how people. That's how this group
Speaker 3: that produced that documentary. Yeah, your ago, that's how they
Speaker 3: found him. Was actually the guy that he talked to
Speaker 3: on this article is also a scientist and they contacted
Speaker 3: him first, which got them in contact with the junior,
Speaker 3: and that's how they were able to set up the
Speaker 3: whole interview. And that's the only reason why we actually
Speaker 3: know the truth about anything is because of this specific
Speaker 3: article right here that he helped write.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I didn't realize that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So this is it's a paper trail, so no
Speaker 3: one could find any information about who, who or what.
Speaker 3: Nobody to respond back, and they found this one random
Speaker 3: article and they reached out to the guy and they
Speaker 3: actually interviewed him that actually wrote this article with him
Speaker 3: and he's like, well, I guess I'll give him a call.
Speaker 3: He's a buddy of mine, and we'll see, you know
Speaker 3: what he says, and sure is shit. He was like,
Speaker 3: you know what, come on out, come on out to
Speaker 3: the farm. Because see, they all still live on the farm,
Speaker 3: in different areas of the farm.
Speaker 2: The cattle farm that the castle happens to be a
Speaker 2: massive glitter manufacturer.
Speaker 3: St So the siblings that all don't get along all
Speaker 3: live on the same except in different pockets of it
Speaker 3: because it's like one hundred and twenty five acres and
Speaker 3: split into two on this railroad situation. And so he said,
Speaker 3: come on out, come check it out and come look
Speaker 3: at you know, come look out, and I'll tell you
Speaker 3: all about it, which hasn't been done in the history
Speaker 3: of their company. It's been pretty you know, they haven't
Speaker 3: been as crazy as glitter X, but they also haven't
Speaker 3: been outright sharing any of the information whatsoever. And so
Speaker 3: for them to find him off of this article is
Speaker 3: crazy in and of itself. So he helped write all
Speaker 3: of this and gave all the information over about this.
Speaker 3: And so the siblings are pissed that he did any
Speaker 3: of this.
Speaker 2: Well, fuck it. They fired him.
Speaker 3: They did. They fired him thirty years ago. And he
Speaker 3: was like, you know what, it's about time. And in
Speaker 3: the video itself, when you watch it, he is taking
Speaker 3: them around to just that. He didn't even bring them
Speaker 3: inside the facility because technically he can't even go inside
Speaker 3: the facility on the property that he co owns with them.
Speaker 3: By the way, and as soon as there was word
Speaker 3: that potentially he was driving around with these people, he
Speaker 3: was met by one of his siblings and they were like,
Speaker 3: uh uh.
Speaker 2: Was that the sibling or a security guard.
Speaker 3: It was a female and I think it was the
Speaker 3: I think it was a sister. Wow, So it was
Speaker 3: she was like absolutely not. You gotta leave. You gotta
Speaker 3: shut off the cameras, like we're not doing any of this.
Speaker 3: You can't let them see any of this and all
Speaker 3: this crap and all you see from the outsides. Honestly,
Speaker 3: it looks like a farm, but it looks like farms
Speaker 3: and old buildings with uh tarp covered stuff, and that's it.
Speaker 3: You can't see anything. It doesn't even look like it's
Speaker 3: up and running. And he even says in it he's like,
Speaker 3: at one point there would be people everywhere. This place
Speaker 3: was booming and lively. He's like, now it's like a
Speaker 3: ghost town. And they're pissed that he even brought anybody
Speaker 3: to this. And so him giving this interview or him
Speaker 3: helping write this paper, even though it's such a you know,
Speaker 3: nobody's gonna look into it to find this.
Speaker 2: Sparked family controversy.
Speaker 3: It fueled the flames even more so. Yeah, so this
Speaker 3: paper is written by him.
Speaker 2: Fuck him, not him, your family, because like, this guy
Speaker 2: took this company, grew it to be a multi billion
Speaker 2: dollar a year company, not just the industry itself, the
Speaker 2: company he developed holographic, which we're gonna talk about here
Speaker 2: in a minute. He himself, not his team. He developed
Speaker 2: holographic glitter, which changed the entire game, only for his
Speaker 2: siblings to basically rip it all out from under him,
Speaker 2: fire him, and then tell him that he can't even
Speaker 2: go into the buildings that he helped build.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fuck them, Yeah, because they also he also helped
Speaker 3: co create with his dad the screening process as well, exactly.
Speaker 3: And so there's a whole bunch of stuff that they
Speaker 3: created that they still use today. But when I looked
Speaker 3: into even more about his siblings, from what I can tell,
Speaker 3: they are stupid.
Speaker 2: There's some spiteful bitch as well.
Speaker 3: So they're like dumb, dumb. They don't understand any of
Speaker 3: the actual chemistry or any of this stuff that it
Speaker 3: goes into the glitter and they don't understand business. They
Speaker 3: have driven this business into the ground. That's why glitter
Speaker 3: X is so prominent because they were their competitors. But
Speaker 3: now they don't hardly make anything compared to when they
Speaker 3: did in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 2: I just heard a statistic and there's very few exceptions
Speaker 2: to this rule. And there's so few exceptions that that's
Speaker 2: why we still know these names today. But if you
Speaker 2: have somebody who grows an empire and then tries to
Speaker 2: leave it to their children two to three generations max.
Speaker 2: Before all of them are bankrupt, because that's what happens
Speaker 2: with NEPO babies, right And I'm not saying that that
Speaker 2: is what's happening here, but it seems like that's the case. Right,
Speaker 2: your boy Rushman Senior, who helped with the Manhattan Project
Speaker 2: and all this started the whole glitter conversation. His son
Speaker 2: Junior ran this company and grew it to a thing.
Speaker 2: Now his kids can't even inherit it because of his siblings.
Speaker 2: So again third generation, they're all going to be just out.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So their mama data in two thousand and nine at
Speaker 3: ninety one. Yeah, and because the daddy died honestly, like
Speaker 3: way's back, yeah, way way back and stuff, and so
Speaker 3: the land dispute, the factory dispute, and all this stuff
Speaker 3: comes down to when the mama died yep. And so
Speaker 3: pretty much the glitter industry where the Glitter Group with this,
Speaker 3: this whole thing is going to be dead probably in
Speaker 3: the next like twenty years, and Glitterax is going to
Speaker 3: still be thriving. So then there's going to be only
Speaker 3: one company.
Speaker 2: The only the only examples where this doesn't happen is
Speaker 2: if the CEO or whatever only has one child. And
Speaker 2: they only have one child, and so it's like there's
Speaker 2: no disputes, like it's getting handed down. You got born
Speaker 2: into this industry whatever, But then you also have to
Speaker 2: groom this kid to take this position when the time comes, Oh,
Speaker 2: I want to go and be a lawyer. That's cute.
Speaker 2: We need you, the family needs you to be COO
Speaker 2: of this company when you turn thirty five. So like
Speaker 2: that's a fun thought that you had. And so like
Speaker 2: the only examples that you could think of is like
Speaker 2: the banks, the Rothschild, there's no questions about what we're
Speaker 2: doing here. We are a banking family. And that's that.
Speaker 3: You have no option. You're literally bred to do this.
Speaker 2: You literally can only marry your second cousin at most
Speaker 2: because we got to keep this money in house. All
Speaker 2: of us are doing banking. Yeah, and that's like there's
Speaker 2: only a few examples. And like the big magnates whose
Speaker 2: kids are still like their great grandchildren are still running it.
Speaker 2: The Waltons, I'm sorry, grandson Waltson. I know you think
Speaker 2: you want to go be a veterinarian. We run Walmart
Speaker 2: fucking period, and we're not letting you detract from the family.
Speaker 2: So you fall online or you're disowned. Like that's the
Speaker 2: only way these companies roll through generations like this without
Speaker 2: any disputes. The Glitter didn't even make it a whole
Speaker 2: third generation.
Speaker 3: But cut to I can't find how glitter X acquired
Speaker 3: glitter Like, I can't find how they were able to
Speaker 3: take it and manufacture they're glitter versus this company's glitter.
Speaker 3: Because for twenty years, give or take, we'll say a
Speaker 3: little bit less, the family, the Rushman family, were the
Speaker 3: glitter people. Then suddenly sixty three happens and glitter X
Speaker 3: is born. Now, how in the hell did the Glitterax
Speaker 3: be born? I can't find that. I haven't found it.
Speaker 3: I try to look it up, and I've I found
Speaker 3: a lot of weird articles that like speculated and there
Speaker 3: was like, well maybe this connection in this connection, I'm like,
Speaker 3: did they sell it? Did they sell a portion of
Speaker 3: the company, because I'm assuming that they had to sell
Speaker 3: at least some of the knowledge to somebody, or they
Speaker 3: had a spy and they stole and then they sold it.
Speaker 2: I think stold it. Excuse me, just seeing how the
Speaker 2: siblings are so shitty to each other, mm hmm. I
Speaker 2: have a weird sneaking suspicion that one of the siblings
Speaker 2: sold the not the patent, sold the information, which is
Speaker 2: why they're so secretive to this day.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I really do think that something was not just.
Speaker 2: Them, your boy Baboo and all of them. They are
Speaker 2: so secretive because they know how they got the intel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I really do think that they something happened along
Speaker 3: lines this whole family's dispute somehow destroyed their glitter industry,
Speaker 3: but then that burst this whole other conglomerate of glitter, so.
Speaker 2: Which maybe that has something to do with the blood
Speaker 2: for you between the family.
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, I could see it. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of there's a lot of stuff going on with it.
Speaker 3: What's interesting is none of the other siblings have actually
Speaker 3: done any interviews or anything period. You can't find really
Speaker 3: you can see who they are. You can see some
Speaker 3: of the stuff because the guy that supposedly took over,
Speaker 3: now I don't know if this is the same person,
Speaker 3: but it said that it was. He has like three
Speaker 3: DUI's and he had like two arrest things on it.
Speaker 3: But I couldn't see what it is. And it's like, so,
Speaker 3: is this the person that took over the company, that
Speaker 3: ran it into the dirt that's doing all these shaddy things.
Speaker 2: Or is that the person that sold the information to
Speaker 2: the Indian dudes to get himself a little bit of
Speaker 2: money to fight some cases.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know. But back to this article
Speaker 3: that the junior wrote. Mm hmm, this is his information
Speaker 3: that he was able to at least tell, so cut to.
Speaker 2: We're talking about in the nineteen seventies they were able
Speaker 2: to produce five tons per day, and they've gone so
Speaker 2: much more than that and then ran to the ground.
Speaker 2: Glitter has many uses. The first industrial uses were greeting cards,
Speaker 2: followed by raised printing and screen printing. Fiberglass motor boat
Speaker 2: holes and Christmas tree balls followed soon after. In addition
Speaker 2: to motor boat holes and automotive finishes, glitter would be
Speaker 2: mixed into cosmetics, fishing, lures, inks, plastics, fiberglass, flooring, ceilings, countertops,
Speaker 2: tile wallpaper, clothing, toys, arts and crafts, tooth paste, packaging,
Speaker 2: and laminated sheets for labels and decals. Less common uses evolved,
Speaker 2: such as church steeples, burial vaults, spectro spectro photometers, spectrophotometers okay,
Speaker 2: proving forensic evidence and even authenticating strata various violins. By
Speaker 2: the way that glitter particle lined up in the sounding board,
Speaker 2: that's how you could tell if it's a true strata
Speaker 2: areus or not, if it has a certain a certain
Speaker 2: specific type, size and color of glitter particle. Yes, that's insane.
Speaker 5: M h.
Speaker 2: That is that's fucking insane that that's the level that
Speaker 2: they can tell if this is a fraudulent strat of
Speaker 2: areus or not.
Speaker 3: It's also in money, very much.
Speaker 2: So if anybody's noticed when you look at the US
Speaker 2: dollar bill from the nineteen eighties and you look at
Speaker 2: a U or just one hundred dollars bill, it's a
Speaker 2: prime example. One hundred dollars bill from the eighties and
Speaker 2: a hundred dollars bill from now, one of them are
Speaker 2: a lot more colorful that would be glitter.
Speaker 3: And just think about how much money they made off
Speaker 3: of that money we got to because it's not just US,
Speaker 3: so it's globally.
Speaker 2: That they've so many countries dollar bills are now using this.
Speaker 2: So not only did they secure a government contract with
Speaker 2: the US Treasury Department, they secured it with the European
Speaker 2: Union for the Euro. They secured it with the British
Speaker 2: for their pound.
Speaker 3: Then you cut back to the article about them, how
Speaker 3: they talked about how they made it and how small
Speaker 3: it is and all of that stuff, and then think
Speaker 3: about the money itself and how tiny that little pieces
Speaker 3: and how in the strip. I mean, it makes sense
Speaker 3: why glitter X is like psycho level Nazi status over
Speaker 3: here when it comes to the glitter, because I believe
Speaker 3: that GLITTERAX holds the only actual thing for the money.
Speaker 2: So remember Rush Hour, Remember how they burned one hundred
Speaker 2: dollar bill and they said, because of the dies, this
Speaker 2: thing is supposed to burn black or it's supposed to
Speaker 2: burn red. And that's how you know it's a counterfeit dollar.
Speaker 2: You remember that same? Yeah, Nah, dude, it's about the
Speaker 2: fucking glitter. And I know personally so many dudes that
Speaker 2: tried that method because they saw that on a movie
Speaker 2: and basically just burned one hundred dollars. It's because they're idiots.
Speaker 2: But no, it was never about that. They test forensics
Speaker 2: on the glitter particles to tell if it is or
Speaker 2: is not an authentic hundred dollar bill.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: So moving on here. So Meadowbrooks machine precision cut other
Speaker 2: particles for other uses, often on government contracts. Among the
Speaker 2: products included anti radar chaff, slivers of zirconium to control
Speaker 2: the burn of solid rocket fuel. Yes, we are talking
Speaker 2: about these hercules rockets. We are talking about the rocket
Speaker 2: fuel itself, there's zirconium that they're cutting. Because it is
Speaker 2: a glitter manufacturing company, everything they produce is classified as glitter.
Speaker 2: So there's zirconium slivers for the rocket fuel. Technically speaking,
Speaker 2: on papering line items is considered glitter.
Speaker 3: It's shiny, so itcounts.
Speaker 2: Glitter is what put rockets in the sky, oddly enough,
Speaker 2: And the iron fibers for airplane brake shoes, yeah, and
Speaker 2: for the record, also breaks shoes that you find on cars.
Speaker 2: Have you ever notice those little sparkly bits in your
Speaker 2: in your brake pads that would be glitter? Essentially by
Speaker 2: definition it's not actually it's not Arts and crafts glitter,
Speaker 2: but because it came from the same manufacturing company that
Speaker 2: glitter is made from, it's also classified as glitter anyway.
Speaker 2: Holographic glitter was developed in nineteen sixty seven by Henry W.
Speaker 2: Rushman Junior. It embosses a diffraction grating a hologram onto
Speaker 2: the film to reflect different colors of light in different directions.
Speaker 2: I remember we talked about that with the Indian dudes.
Speaker 2: They said they made it sound like they came up
Speaker 2: with it. Literally. Rushman Junior did that producing a rainbow effect.
Speaker 2: Holographic glitter is found in security applications such as credit cards, passports,
Speaker 2: and even some countries paper currency. Most common uses are
Speaker 2: cosmetics and holiday packaging, which that makes sense.
Speaker 3: I think that they gave over that. I think they
Speaker 3: sold that technology to glitter X.
Speaker 2: Maybe very possibly. He also developed the first holographic glitter
Speaker 2: laminations with metallized cellulose acetate and later polyester as the
Speaker 2: substrates which can biodegrade. The future sees a push to
Speaker 2: produce biodegradable glitter to meet environmental objections to PVC substrates.
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a bit. Today, glitter is
Speaker 2: a worldwide commodity product with boundless applications. Over twenty thousand
Speaker 2: varieties are manufactured by multiple firms worldwide in different colors, sizes,
Speaker 2: and materials. One estimate suggests that ten million pounds of
Speaker 2: glitter was either produced more purchased between the years of
Speaker 2: twenty or nineteen eighty nine and two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2: So we have over the course of twenty years ten
Speaker 2: million pounds was produced. I got a feeling that's actually
Speaker 2: a very low estimation.
Speaker 3: I think so too. I think the military purchaseway more.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, but I feel like a
Speaker 2: lot of these purchases go under the radar, and so
Speaker 2: therefore they can't be talked about. You know. Henry F.
Speaker 2: And Henry W. Rushman inventions and development of modern glitter
Speaker 2: keeps putting smiles on faces around the world, fulfilling a
Speaker 2: life's desire to leave this earth a little better than
Speaker 2: when we found it. As important as the sparkles from glitter,
Speaker 2: they also fulfilled a desire for the family to always
Speaker 2: enjoy their Bucalick Meadow, brook Farm and Bernardsville, New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Bernardsville is not a big spot, y'all. That's a very
Speaker 2: small place today, and so that is apparently where glitter
Speaker 2: is made still to this day. So now let's go
Speaker 2: to this next article talks about the five things to
Speaker 2: know about glitter. So we already talked about what glitter
Speaker 2: is and some of the applications. So what makes glitter
Speaker 2: so sticky? You use glitter in the kitchen and then
Speaker 2: found it on the bathroom in the bathroom moments later.
Speaker 2: That's static cling and inter molecular forces at work. The
Speaker 2: foundation of static cleaning is charge separation. That is As
Speaker 2: two materials rub together, they transfer electrons between their particles
Speaker 2: and become charged. When two things have opposite charges, they
Speaker 2: attract or cling to each other. If anybody's ever blown
Speaker 2: up a rubber balloon and then rubbed it on a
Speaker 2: dry wall and then let go, you'll see static electricity
Speaker 2: or static is what's holding it on the wall. Same thing.
Speaker 2: The other phenomenon at work making your glitter sticky is
Speaker 2: intermolecular forces of attraction. Yes, the same kind of forces
Speaker 2: that hold water molecules together, only weaker. But because of
Speaker 2: the glitter particles small size and weight, it doesn't take
Speaker 2: much energy to make glitter stick. The intermolecular forces in glitter,
Speaker 2: known as London dispersion forces, are a result of molecular motion.
Speaker 2: As molecules shake about, the electrons in their atoms shift
Speaker 2: and become unevenly distributed. This uneven distribution creates small, temporary
Speaker 2: regions of partial positive and negative charges. So we have
Speaker 2: one screen right now, a little depiction of what it
Speaker 2: is we're talking about here, But anyway, the regions stick
Speaker 2: to areas of opposite charges, like water molecules on your skin,
Speaker 2: your backpack, your desk, anything that might have regions of
Speaker 2: positive or negative charges London London. Dispersion forces are found
Speaker 2: in every molecule, even though they are considered weak. Small
Speaker 2: particles like those used in glitter take very little attractive
Speaker 2: force to stick to other surfaces. This is why glitter
Speaker 2: is the herpes of the arts world. It's because of this.
Speaker 3: Yep, I feel like you needed to hear this. You
Speaker 3: feel justified.
Speaker 2: I don't need to be justified to know that I'm
Speaker 2: right on this. Well, this is crazy.
Speaker 3: I feel like you know. Here, this is a real
Speaker 3: breakdown of why it's so fucking sticky and on everything.
Speaker 2: So glitter.
Speaker 3: I hate glitter so fucking this actually shows us, like
Speaker 3: a I like this article because it shows the depictions
Speaker 3: of actually what it's talking about, because I'm a picture person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, how is glitter made? We already kind of
Speaker 2: talked about some of it, but let's break it down
Speaker 2: a little bit further here. Glitter is composed of at
Speaker 2: least three layers. At least three layers we heard earlier
Speaker 2: it was like two hundred and seventy layers depending on
Speaker 2: the type of glitter. But number one is a thin
Speaker 2: layer of polymer that's a bit like cling wrap. Number
Speaker 2: two is a reflective aluminum layer, and then the third
Speaker 2: would be a threein transparent sealant. The initial plastic layer
Speaker 2: is the polyethylene tear phaylate or PET. There you go,
Speaker 2: also known as my lar. Again, my lar is very
Speaker 2: useful in so many applications. My Lar is commonly used
Speaker 2: in those shiny helium balloons that last a long time.
Speaker 2: To make glitter, a sheet of clear pet plastic is
Speaker 2: coded with a very thin layer of aluminum. Remember it's
Speaker 2: coated with the aluminum, not the other way around. They
Speaker 2: evaporate the aluminum onto the plast yeah, followed by a
Speaker 2: coating of color and then a transparent ceilant. This creates
Speaker 2: a long ribbon of shiny color plastic which is then
Speaker 2: chopped or ground into very fine particles. The number of
Speaker 2: layers and their thickness can be very can vary depending
Speaker 2: on the type of glitter being made. Craft glitter is
Speaker 2: the thickest, while glitter using cosmetics is usually the thinnest.
Speaker 2: So on screen right now we have a little bit
Speaker 2: of a cut, a cut diagnostic if you will, right
Speaker 2: a cut sheet here, and you could see how these
Speaker 2: levels and how these layers are actually put together and
Speaker 2: they're not glued. They're not glued together. They're more or
Speaker 2: less stuck together through a coating and then through friction
Speaker 2: and then it's all sealed up with the Ceilant's that's it.
Speaker 2: That's the secret to glitter. It's mind blowing.
Speaker 3: But then we can't go into glitter X.
Speaker 2: We can't, right, right, right, because the way that it's
Speaker 2: made is so thick. It's like bro a grinder or
Speaker 2: a cutting machine could do.
Speaker 3: But all right, maybe they're doing other shit with it.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's not in a different way.
Speaker 2: That's what I believe. Honestly, I don't believe that. It's
Speaker 2: because I am of the belief that glitter is a
Speaker 2: byproduct of all of the other applications and the things
Speaker 2: that are being made. Remember, the first time it was
Speaker 2: discovered was the particulates that came off of a Micah
Speaker 2: washer in the development of the nuclear bomb. The glitter
Speaker 2: wasn't the secret, right, It's not like he would have
Speaker 2: and at that time Rushman would have told the people, listen,
Speaker 2: you can't be in the room when we are making
Speaker 2: the glitter. That doesn't mean that because the glitter was
Speaker 2: the secret. It's because the micael washer was the secret.
Speaker 2: I am currently of the belief that the reason why
Speaker 2: glitter X is so secretive is because glitter X picked
Speaker 2: up a lot of the government contracts that the rushmans dropped,
Speaker 2: and so it's the same concept. It's not the glitter
Speaker 2: that they're worried about, you seeing, it's what they're cutting
Speaker 2: that the glitter is the byproduct of. So I don't
Speaker 2: know anyway. So what is biodegradable glitter made from? You
Speaker 2: may have heard of microplastics. Yeah, I would say that
Speaker 2: we all have very tiny piece of plastic that can
Speaker 2: be found in our ocean's land and even our bodies.
Speaker 2: These microparticles, including pet based glitters, contribute to environmental issues
Speaker 2: and pollution. Shocker glittering cosmetics, as an example, is washed
Speaker 2: into our waterways through what waste water streams, then it
Speaker 2: moves to our oceans where fish eat it, then humans
Speaker 2: consume the fish. You never get rid of it. Nothing
Speaker 2: you could do.
Speaker 3: I don't think at this point that we can get
Speaker 3: rid of it because it's used in so many applications
Speaker 3: globally that this at this point, this is probably the
Speaker 3: most toxic thing that we've had that we've ever introduced
Speaker 3: into this.
Speaker 2: So remember hearing about trash island in the Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the kid that actually created that cool thing
Speaker 3: that cleans it up.
Speaker 2: Yes, And so the trash island itself has produced an
Speaker 2: immeasurable amount of microplastics because these plastics over time, Yes,
Speaker 2: they're safe for human consumption. Right now, you're drinking a
Speaker 2: out of a Gatoray bottle. That plastic is safe quote
Speaker 2: unquote quote unquote to hold human human ingestibles. Okay, cool.
Speaker 2: If you leave that bottle in the salty ocean under
Speaker 2: the sun for months and months and years and years, eventually,
Speaker 2: at a molecular level, it's going to start break down.
Speaker 2: And it may not disintegrate like acid by any means,
Speaker 2: but small microscopic particles of it are going to break off,
Speaker 2: and there's no way of getting them out of the
Speaker 2: ocean once they're in there. Cut to all the styrofoam,
Speaker 2: same thing, all of everything.
Speaker 3: That is stropham.
Speaker 2: As much as you hate styrophoam, I hate glitter. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that both are equally terrible for the environment.
Speaker 3: I'll say that I do love liltter for my own purposes,
Speaker 3: but I can recognize that it's terrible for the environment,
Speaker 3: which I am not all about foluting, so.
Speaker 2: But my point is that all of these microplastics eventually
Speaker 2: make their way to the ocean, and even if they
Speaker 2: didn't go to the ocean as microplastics, they become that
Speaker 2: once they're there. And the same concept that they just
Speaker 2: talked about how the fish are eating them, we eat
Speaker 2: the fish and or they can evaporated into the clouds
Speaker 2: and they get rained. And these microplasts are so small
Speaker 2: they will get picked up with the water particles that
Speaker 2: are evaporating into the sky to make rain clouds. It's
Speaker 2: the same ship.
Speaker 3: But it's already in the clouds.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're going to get to that in a moment.
Speaker 3: It's already in the clouds. So this kind of goes
Speaker 3: into what they're doing. So this is the cellulose. This
Speaker 3: is what I was talking about. The naturally occurring plant
Speaker 3: polymer has been shown to be a good material for
Speaker 3: making biodegraable glitter, replacing the pet polymer layer. Unfortunately, the
Speaker 3: aluminum coating and pigments that are used to make litter
Speaker 3: shiny and colorful are still the problem. A new clinic
Speaker 3: glatter is being developed by researchers at a University of Skatchuwanchkin, Saskatchewan.
Speaker 3: I know, I like seeing in different ways every time
Speaker 3: I say it, just because it's one of those sketchg
Speaker 3: what you hedden inside inside along strands of cellulose polymers.
Speaker 3: They're using shorter pieces that they crystallize as cellulose nanoparticles.
Speaker 3: They are a very small piece of cellulose and I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna read it canneteene from sawdust, a waste product
Speaker 3: of timber in the industry.
Speaker 2: Ten to the ninth power nanometers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one meter wow, So I'll sum that whole thing up.
Speaker 3: So what they what the problem is is that the
Speaker 3: aluminium and the colors is what's becoming toxic to the environment,
Speaker 3: and so they're having a hard time because it's interesting
Speaker 3: the little particles are they're holding bacteria on the aluminum,
Speaker 3: which is infecting other things as well. There's a there's
Speaker 3: tons of articles. If you really care that much to
Speaker 3: go read into it. It's it's a lot, but.
Speaker 2: Essentially glitter is really detrimental for the environment and for
Speaker 2: your health.
Speaker 3: So it said cellulos is. So they have a little
Speaker 3: diagram it said cellulos is one of the several polymers
Speaker 3: in trees. It can be harvested and converted into nanocrystals
Speaker 3: which reflect different wavelengths of light and appere colored.
Speaker 2: Right, which is you know interesting, which that is a
Speaker 2: natural quote unquote of glitter. However, that's not the issue.
Speaker 2: It's not the color, like the light fraction within the
Speaker 2: crystals themselves. It's like you said, it's the coloring in
Speaker 2: the aluminium that they are using it with that's making
Speaker 2: it bad.
Speaker 3: So they found so unfortunately, as right now, they have
Speaker 3: found that both pet based glitter and the cellular space
Speaker 3: glitter still impacted the meso mesochromis in.
Speaker 2: Meso cosm, meso cosm.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The experiment of the study the outdoor environment in
Speaker 3: a controlled indoor setting, they noticed that biodegrable glitter did
Speaker 3: break down in the experiment, but it also served as
Speaker 3: a food source for organisms, not unexpected because because that's
Speaker 3: the point of biodegradable material, and this led to greater
Speaker 3: growth of unwanted species. While the nanocellulose based glitter is
Speaker 3: an improvement from the pet glitter that takes thousands of
Speaker 3: years to break down, is not a perfect solution. It
Speaker 3: is so yeah, so this species, So it was feeding
Speaker 3: bacteria and viruses and all this stuff, and it was
Speaker 3: pretty much like gasoline from what I gathered in the
Speaker 3: It was like an eighty five page study and so
Speaker 3: I honestly skimmed some of it. But they were trying
Speaker 3: to figure out how to do this on a cellular
Speaker 3: level to where it would break down fast enough to
Speaker 3: where it wouldn't actually impact the organisms around it and
Speaker 3: it wouldn't cause more shit to go wrong. But they
Speaker 3: haven't figured it out yet.
Speaker 2: It's make metal resistant bacterias.
Speaker 3: Well, they helped grow some of the microorganisms, and so
Speaker 3: it caused the bad guys to be able to be like, yeah,
Speaker 3: let's fucking go supercharged the viruses. Yeah, and so they
Speaker 3: weren't able so far. They've found a few other things
Speaker 3: as of last year that might be potentially what they're
Speaker 3: going to be doing. Unfortunately, both sets as of right
Speaker 3: now impact the environment in different ways. I would wager
Speaker 3: to say that right now, I think the PET actually
Speaker 3: is better for the environment. Unfortunately, because of the experiment
Speaker 3: that they created in this indoor space, they were like, well,
Speaker 3: if we let this bitch out and try it in
Speaker 3: the environment, it could really go wrong. Because right now
Speaker 3: they're doing it in control settings of ecosystems. If it
Speaker 3: was a if it accidentally created something worse, they were like, uh,
Speaker 3: maybe we shouldn't be doing this as of yet.
Speaker 2: So microplastics are less detrimental in the short term than
Speaker 2: a supercharged virus that they still don't know how to stop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, bacteria. Yeah, So it's it's interesting what they're trying
Speaker 3: to do right now. And so this is just it's
Speaker 3: just in a quick article that talks about the different
Speaker 3: types of glitter, so real quick.
Speaker 2: Also, we're going to get to the edible glitter conversation
Speaker 2: here in a moment, but just I did want to
Speaker 2: read at least this one part It says is glitter edible.
Speaker 2: While crafting glitter is generally labeled non toxic, it doesn't
Speaker 2: mean you should eat it. Actually don't. Just don't, not
Speaker 2: even the cellulose or cellulose nanoparticle glitter. But there are
Speaker 2: ways to make your own edible glitter using gelatin and
Speaker 2: edible polymer as the polymer based a metallic food coloring
Speaker 2: for shine. Just make sure all your ingredients are safe
Speaker 2: for human consumption. That's what this article says. We're going
Speaker 2: to dive a little deeper into that conversation here in
Speaker 2: a bit, because it's not so clear cut.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot more difficult than you can then
Speaker 3: you think about it. So this article is actually the
Speaker 3: This is from conspiracy Data dot com and this is
Speaker 3: where you can go and watch the video as well,
Speaker 3: and this kind of breaks down different aspects of the
Speaker 3: video where they interview Henry the Junior. And so these
Speaker 3: are the theories, the common theories behind who's buying all
Speaker 3: of the glitter.
Speaker 2: Right, And that's the thing, because they won't answer. It's
Speaker 2: all speculation.
Speaker 3: So we know that some companies are and some aren't,
Speaker 3: but it's it's one of those things of nobody knows
Speaker 3: for sure how much glitter is being bought, shipped and
Speaker 3: sold all over the world and for how many applications
Speaker 3: there are, so we at least know the military has that,
Speaker 3: the automotive industry does, the voting industry, Cosmic has confirmed.
Speaker 3: Edible is a confirmation.
Speaker 2: But because that New York Times article, because that interview
Speaker 2: where the woman was like, oh, I can't answer that,
Speaker 2: and like, well, if I saw it, what I know
Speaker 2: it's glitter, I mean you'd see something, but like I
Speaker 2: can't say I can't really say much about it, like that,
Speaker 2: that's too hard.
Speaker 3: That's sparked everything. And then the way that he was though,
Speaker 3: Bubba was Babba Bubba. Yeah, the way that he was
Speaker 3: and so kind of weird about stuff, it kind of
Speaker 3: created even more lore. So yeah, the first thing, it
Speaker 3: says the military. Some suggest that glitter can be used
Speaker 3: in stealth technology to deflect radar and camouflage coatings for
Speaker 3: vehicles and equipment. Others believe that it can be deployed
Speaker 3: employed as decoy devices to confuse heat seeking missiles. But
Speaker 3: like he confirmed, so he confirmed that they've already used that,
Speaker 3: so we know this is a for sure thing. So
Speaker 3: the automotive industry, obviously, car paints and secrecy may stem
Speaker 3: from uh, proprietary thank you, I always get that word wrong,
Speaker 3: paint formulas and pretty much that's it. So we know
Speaker 3: that's the thing. The boating industry boat paint edible glitter.
Speaker 3: In the food industry, toothpaste was one of those things.
Speaker 3: Now you've seen the glittery toothpaste before. I didn't realize
Speaker 3: though that this has been a thing for a long time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like since the fifties they started putting glitter in
Speaker 2: toothpaste to make it more appealing.
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that actually until he said that. So
Speaker 3: it talks about glitter like particles to enhance visual appeal
Speaker 3: of marketing biodegradable biodegradable alternatives.
Speaker 2: So while most use biodegradable alternatives, some formulations may involve
Speaker 2: real glitter like microplastics in toothpaste.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think is interesting. The next one.
Speaker 2: Covert surveillance or espionage.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: So some theorists propose that glitter is used in tracking
Speaker 2: devices or espionage operations. I could see it, honestly. Given
Speaker 2: its small size, glitter could theoretically serve as a covert
Speaker 2: marker or tracking material in sensitive operations. M hm, I
Speaker 2: very well could. Yeah, very well could. Big tech glitter
Speaker 2: may pay they play a role in microchip manufacturing or
Speaker 2: screen technology. I personally believe that it is same. The
Speaker 2: secrecy could relate to proprietary processes or patents with big tech. Okay,
Speaker 2: weather seating.
Speaker 3: This is such a crazy thing, but go ahead.
Speaker 2: Glitter's reflective properties make it an interesting candidate for atmospheric experiments.
Speaker 2: Some speculate that glitter could be used in cloud seating
Speaker 2: to manipulate we weather patterns by reflecting sunlight or influencing precipitation.
Speaker 3: I found it, So I don't know how much truth
Speaker 3: is in this article, but I found an article that
Speaker 3: was talking about cloud seating and how they use it
Speaker 3: as well to make prettier clouds.
Speaker 2: I can believe that to make.
Speaker 3: Shinier clouds, to have people less h less question what's
Speaker 3: going on. They were kind of like, oh, well, look
Speaker 3: at those pretty fluffy, big white clouds that shimmer and shine.
Speaker 2: So we know for a fact that they make it
Speaker 2: rain once a week in Dubai from cloud seating. They've
Speaker 2: been very open about this four years as a matter
Speaker 2: of fact. And seeing is the amount of money that
Speaker 2: the Dubai that they spend in Dubai to make it
Speaker 2: just rain, it would stand to reason that the ruling
Speaker 2: power would also be like, you know what, threw some
Speaker 2: glitter in that bitch too. We're not just gonna have clouds,
Speaker 2: We're gonna have the best clouds.
Speaker 3: So when we talk about Mars, we're going to talk
Speaker 3: about more about glitter application, and then I'll come back.
Speaker 3: I'll circle back to the atmospheric experiments and my thoughts
Speaker 3: on all of this.
Speaker 2: So yep, Rocket fuel. Certain compounds and rocket propellants use
Speaker 2: metallic flakes similar to glitter. And actually it's not just
Speaker 2: similar to glitter. By definition from the company, it is glitter.
Speaker 2: So there's that. Some believe the secrecy could be tied
Speaker 2: to aerospace technology and classified military projects. I have to agree. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And we've already talked about why there's so much secrecy
Speaker 2: the environmental questions. Does it solve the glitter mystery? I mean,
Speaker 2: who really knows, you know?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So that's what I wanted to read from this. Okay,
Speaker 3: so this is about why the military is buying glitter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like specifically the military, and we kind of talked
Speaker 2: about a few of the reasons behind it. But let's
Speaker 2: go a little deeper on this one. So why is
Speaker 2: the military buying glitter? Revealing the science behind the sparkle.
Speaker 2: The military isn't buying glitter to decorate helmets or throw
Speaker 2: festive parties. The primary reason the military is buying glitter
Speaker 2: or more accurately, glitter like substances is for the use
Speaker 2: in training and operational applications of advanced optics and sensors.
Speaker 2: These substances serve as a visual tracers and aid in
Speaker 2: studying fluid dynamics and airflow crucial for developing and improving
Speaker 2: military tech. These specialized glitters aren't the craft store variety.
Speaker 2: Their precision engineered particles designed to scatter light in specific
Speaker 2: ways and offer valuable data. The science of sparkle how
Speaker 2: glitter aids military research. So the glitter used by the
Speaker 2: military isn't the same as the colorful plastic kind you'd
Speaker 2: find in the craft store. Instead, it's comprised of tiny,
Speaker 2: higher reflective particles of varying materials like aluminum, plastic, or
Speaker 2: even glass. These particles are off an engineered with specific
Speaker 2: properties to scatter light in a controlled manner. This controlled
Speaker 2: light scatter is what makes them invaluable for various military applications.
Speaker 2: So one crucial application is the visualization airflow, or visualizing
Speaker 2: airflow and fluid dynamics you talked about that. By introducing
Speaker 2: these reflective particles into a flow field, researchers can track
Speaker 2: their movement using high speed cameras and sophisticated imaging techniques.
Speaker 2: This allows them to study the complex behavior of air
Speaker 2: and other fluids around objects such as aircraft, wings, missiles,
Speaker 2: or even vehicles. Understanding these flow patterns is essential for
Speaker 2: optimizing aerodynamic designs, improving fuel efficiency, and enhancing overall performance.
Speaker 2: The glitter acts as a tracer, revealing the unseen forces
Speaker 2: and turbulence at play, which, to be honest, I watched
Speaker 2: some gun tube right depending on the content creator, there
Speaker 2: was one guy who they were trying to catch the
Speaker 2: uh like the waves off of a specific rifle round,
Speaker 2: and they couldn't catch it on the high speed camera
Speaker 2: because it was an environment that wasn't really suitable for that.
Speaker 2: So they put up a like a thin line of glitter,
Speaker 2: and so they were trying to see if they can
Speaker 2: catch the swirl coming off the bullet. They were able
Speaker 2: to catch that the glitter dispersed in a certain way,
Speaker 2: but they couldn't catch the actual like spiral or vortex
Speaker 2: behind the bullet. They ended up having to use lasers
Speaker 2: and fog machines in a pitch black room to be
Speaker 2: able to actually quantify and catch that with a high
Speaker 2: speed camera.
Speaker 3: So, I mean, it's kind of all ties back though
Speaker 3: to the theories and what they're doing, but this is
Speaker 3: like literally stating what they're using it for absolutely, So
Speaker 3: this is not a speculation any longer. This is no
Speaker 3: this is what we're using this for, which all ties
Speaker 3: into hercules, and it ties into Doupont, it ties into Manhattan,
Speaker 3: it ties into all of these things of what glitter
Speaker 3: has been used for.
Speaker 2: And also why I believe like glitter and why I
Speaker 2: also believe there's so much secrecy around the process and
Speaker 2: around these companies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's twenty thousand different types, right, and so
Speaker 3: if you're talking about that it's a tracer type or
Speaker 3: that it's douing different things, and it's being able to
Speaker 3: be used in so many applications, you don't want anybody
Speaker 3: to knowing what type of glitter is being used in
Speaker 3: aerospace stuff. Absolutely, but even though they're all using it,
Speaker 3: so they're being sold to everybody. But like it's fine, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, how do you make the most money possible by
Speaker 2: funding both sides of whatever? The argument is?
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: So Calibrating and testing optical sensors Another significant use is
Speaker 2: in the calibrating and testing optical sensors. These sensors are
Speaker 2: used in various military applications, including surveillance, targeting, and navigation.
Speaker 2: By shining light onto a surface covered with reflective particles,
Speaker 2: researchers can assess the sensor's ability to detect and measure
Speaker 2: light accurately. The specific light scattering properties of the glitter
Speaker 2: allow for precise calibration and ensure that the sensor perform
Speaker 2: optimally in real world conditions. This calibration is crucial for
Speaker 2: ensuring the reliability and accuracy of these critical systems. So
Speaker 2: then we got simulating battlefield conditions. In some cases, the
Speaker 2: glitter like particles can also be used to say, simulate
Speaker 2: battlefield conditions. For example, they might be used great artificial
Speaker 2: fog or smoke for training exercises. The reflective properties of
Speaker 2: the particles can also be used to simulate the effects
Speaker 2: of dust or debris on optical sensors, helping to develop
Speaker 2: countermeasures and improve system resilience. So anyway, beyond glitter advanced
Speaker 2: particle technology. Okay. So, while the term glitter quote unquote
Speaker 2: is a simplification, it highlights the use of small reflective
Speaker 2: particles and military applications. In reality, the military often employs
Speaker 2: more sophisticated materials and techniques, including laser induced fluorescence LIF.
Speaker 2: This technique uses lasers to incite fluorescent dyes or particles
Speaker 2: in a fluid flow, allowing researchers to visualize the flow
Speaker 2: patterns in detail. Particle image, velocimetry, velocometry, volosymmetry okay BIV.
Speaker 2: The technique uses lasers and high speed cameras to track
Speaker 2: movement of particles in a fluid flow, providing a quantitative
Speaker 2: measure of the flow velocity. And then we have holographic interferometry.
Speaker 3: This technique uses lasers to create holograms of fluid flows,
Speaker 3: allowing researchers to study three dimensional structures of the flow
Speaker 3: in detail, which is interesting when you think about quantum
Speaker 3: and them doing different things with that as well.
Speaker 2: And all of that comes from Rushman Junior, who is
Speaker 2: the first to develop holographic glitter. Without him, this wouldn't
Speaker 2: be a thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy how many applications he allowed by or
Speaker 3: he helped create because of his one thing.
Speaker 2: Indeed, so dispelling the myths, it's not all fun and games.
Speaker 2: It's important to understand that the military's use of glitter
Speaker 2: quote unquote is not frivolous. It's a serious scientific endeavor
Speaker 2: with the goal of improving military technology and protecting national security.
Speaker 2: The particulars the particles used are carefully selected and engineered
Speaker 2: for specific purposes, and their use is governed by strict
Speaker 2: regulations and safety protocols. The image of soldiers covered in
Speaker 2: craft glitter is far from a reality. This technology plays
Speaker 2: a critical role in ensuring effectiveness and reliability of military systems.
Speaker 2: Then they get into some of the frequently asked questions.
Speaker 2: We don't really have to get into that, but if
Speaker 2: you are curious about what the military is using glitter for,
Speaker 2: highly recommend you go check it out. This article is
Speaker 2: from the gun Zone. So there we go. Now moving
Speaker 2: on atmospheric experiments using glitter. So let's talk about this.
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to zoom it in.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try and try it. There we go here.
Speaker 2: So glitter quote unquote is used in this context of
Speaker 2: atmospheric science in two distinct ways. Planetary geoengineering, which scientists
Speaker 2: have proposed using engineered glitter like metallic particles or nanoorods
Speaker 2: to warm the atmosphere of Mars and potentially make it habitable.
Speaker 3: Yes, so I have an entire article next all about this.
Speaker 2: That's the wildest fucking shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm really excited to read it.
Speaker 2: Next is earth observation. The term is used in the
Speaker 2: name of the light ar technique glitter, which uses glimpse
Speaker 2: of light ar images through the empty regions of clouds
Speaker 2: to measure their base height. Sun glitter or ocean glint patterns,
Speaker 2: reflections of the sun off the water, are also analyzed
Speaker 2: to study ocean surface roughness and wave patterns. They're using
Speaker 2: glitter in the clouds to be able to gauge weather better.
Speaker 3: Yes, and they also have potentially used it to help
Speaker 3: change weather patterns as well because they're trying to reflect
Speaker 3: and get more sun off of it.
Speaker 2: So you want to read more into this, you want.
Speaker 3: To go, I actually have an article on this. So
Speaker 3: the glitter though, is the glint analysis, So it uses
Speaker 3: the visual patterns of sunlight reflecting off the ocean surface
Speaker 3: and has been used by scientists for decades to derive
Speaker 3: statistical models for ocean waves, slopes, and surface roughness. The
Speaker 3: satellites and aircraft cameras are used to capture these glint
Speaker 3: patterns in extract valuable data from their Earth's surface. When
Speaker 3: I looked in more of that, it said that they
Speaker 3: were using that they would shimer glitter over stuff too. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like they would kind of like drop like little glitter
Speaker 3: bombs as well to capture this better, so they could
Speaker 3: see the glint anyways, but then they use glitter as
Speaker 3: well to be able to really see it overall.
Speaker 2: So so once again, as we're talking about microplastics in
Speaker 2: our water, in the clouds, all these things. If you
Speaker 2: are curious, look up the method the glitter method of
Speaker 2: light r and by that it's not spelled a certain
Speaker 2: way g l I T t R. They are currently
Speaker 2: using this in lightar to detect weather and alter it.
Speaker 2: This is not a conspiracy theory. This is something that
Speaker 2: they have absolutely confirmed that they are doing with glitter.
Speaker 3: It's funny because they said, like you could do a
Speaker 3: home experiment for surface tension, adding dish soap to water
Speaker 3: with glitter uses the glitter to rapidly move away the
Speaker 3: soap breaks down on the surface tensioning that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, but this you do with pepper.
Speaker 3: By the way, it ties back though to the whole
Speaker 3: flat earth conversation. What yeah, because they are if you
Speaker 3: look at it and they talk about it, they're using
Speaker 3: it to do this. So the slope of the curvature
Speaker 3: and stuff, and so when it like disperses, it's doing
Speaker 3: the curvature of the earth and stuff. There's like a
Speaker 3: whole conversation about how it turned tied into this or
Speaker 3: is it just flat period and the glitter just goes
Speaker 3: on forever.
Speaker 2: If that was the case, then all the glitter would
Speaker 2: be literally just around the ice wall and Antarctica. And
Speaker 2: that's just not a coun you know, because how much
Speaker 2: oil slick has been dropped into the ocean to break
Speaker 2: up that surface tension. If you've ever done that experiment
Speaker 2: for the record, you don't have to use glitter. You
Speaker 2: could crack fresh black pepper into a bowl of water
Speaker 2: and then drop one drop of dish soap into it
Speaker 2: and watch it disperse to the edges. If the flat
Speaker 2: Earth conversation was real, all of the plastic island and
Speaker 2: all of the microplastics and all of the glitter would
Speaker 2: have I've really been dispersed to Antartica by now, But okay,
Speaker 2: we're not. We're not going to get into that one
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So that it came and came up, and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, flat Earth again, man, Flat Earth really
Speaker 3: ties into that conversation, ties into like damn near every conspiracy.
Speaker 3: I swear to.
Speaker 2: You, they find ways to connect it. I swear.
Speaker 3: So this is articles from design boom, and this is
Speaker 3: actually it, says science says. Scientists say man made glitter
Speaker 3: particles can warm Mars and make it habitable like Earth.
Speaker 3: And I couldn't believe when I read that. I was
Speaker 3: no way that they're going to use glitter. But they are.
Speaker 2: But that's not going to make an atmosphere happen that
Speaker 2: will adjust the temperature, so.
Speaker 3: Glitter dust particles can produce a greenhouse effect on Mars.
Speaker 3: Scientists at Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, Chicago, and
Speaker 3: the University of Central Florida have proposed manufacturing glitter like
Speaker 3: particles using soil from Mars and launching them into an
Speaker 3: atmosphere to warm the red planet and make it habitable
Speaker 3: for people just like Earth. In the study the group
Speaker 3: published on August seventh, twenty twenty four, the researchers state
Speaker 3: that it's possible to engineer dust particles shaped like short
Speaker 3: rods and similar in size, if not tinier, to commercially
Speaker 3: available glitter. So they're going to use it to Yeah,
Speaker 3: they're going to use it to try to make it
Speaker 3: an Earth. Once launched into the atmosphere, these dust particles,
Speaker 3: which are made from iron and aluminum, can trap the
Speaker 3: heat escaping from the red planet and reflecting sun towards
Speaker 3: its surface. In this way, Mars can produce its natural
Speaker 3: greenhouse effect and potentially warm the red planet by more
Speaker 3: than fifty degrees fahrenheit around ten degrees celsius. From here,
Speaker 3: the temperature can still arise until Mars becomes suitable from
Speaker 3: micro microbial microbial thank you microbial life, which which the
Speaker 3: researchers deem critical first step to making the planet habitable
Speaker 3: like Earth. Now, this conversation all ties into the whole
Speaker 3: talk about have we already been there, how we're trying
Speaker 3: to move us from here to there for self? And
Speaker 3: this ties into Elon, This ties into China, It ties
Speaker 3: into Russia, it ties into all of it ties into
Speaker 3: Antarctica because the conversation about the Mars rocks, it ties
Speaker 3: into everything period. Because if they can actually make Mars
Speaker 3: habital quote unquote, their big goal is for us to
Speaker 3: establish a base there so that we can continue moving
Speaker 3: forward out into space, and they want to move people
Speaker 3: there because you see, the whole conversation is that we're
Speaker 3: destroying our Earth and we don't have that long left here.
Speaker 3: We have like a couple hundred years and then we're
Speaker 3: pretty much fucked up the planet. So we need to
Speaker 3: find another place to be able to inhabit. And this
Speaker 3: is the whole talk about moving to Mars. And now
Speaker 3: when we look into what they've done with glitter and
Speaker 3: how glitter is in everything, so.
Speaker 2: Glitter is not only killing our planet, but it's going
Speaker 2: to be our savior from Mars. And that's nobody's looking
Speaker 2: any drawbacks. Okay, but that sentence.
Speaker 3: It can raise the temperature, And then you think about
Speaker 3: the green house effect and about the conversation and the
Speaker 3: global warming and everything. Could it potentially be that, yes,
Speaker 3: we have also industries that are impacting in the carbon
Speaker 3: footprint and all this stuff. Could it actually be the
Speaker 3: amount of glitter that we've used over the last you know,
Speaker 3: a couple decades and it's been actually raising our green
Speaker 3: it's actually changing our entire atmosphere.
Speaker 2: So people have been thinking it's the nuclear bombs we've
Speaker 2: been testing. No, no, No, is the glitter that was
Speaker 2: made from the nuclear bomb testing.
Speaker 3: Honestly, the more I was reading into this, the more
Speaker 3: I'm actually thinking that this is the cost, Like this
Speaker 3: is the primary cause, because they're still using this every day.
Speaker 2: Can we stop buying glitter people every day, there's stop
Speaker 2: the glitter makeup, Stop stop buying cars with glitter and
Speaker 2: the paint. Stop doing all this shit.
Speaker 3: But see it's in everything though, that's the problem. If
Speaker 3: they're using this in cloud seating, and we know for
Speaker 3: a fact that they're cloud seating all over the world, yeah,
Speaker 3: just that alone. And if they're putting it in an
Speaker 3: atmosphere to try to draw more light down, that means
Speaker 3: that it's heating up our atmosphere matter, and so that
Speaker 3: it's literally an everything at this point, including our bodies.
Speaker 3: We're ingesting it, we're inhaling it, all of this stuff.
Speaker 3: What if the root cause of all this is glitter? Cool?
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't know it was going to that level. Ravingly,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you.
Speaker 3: I've been waiting the entire time to get to this
Speaker 3: article because I have been chomping at the bit for
Speaker 3: this one, because you know, I read a lot about
Speaker 3: the environment and stuff, and so my degree is environmental sustainability. Yeah,
Speaker 3: is one of my parts of my degree. And I
Speaker 3: am like what to once I started reading into the
Speaker 3: actual breakdown and how long it takes to break down
Speaker 3: and what is it doing and how they're trying to
Speaker 3: use it. It makes so much more sense that it's the glitter,
Speaker 3: that it's been the glitter, and that it's it's pretty
Speaker 3: much like it's a multifaceted situation. But this is like
Speaker 3: the real root cause of what's going on.
Speaker 2: I'm not happy with the things you're saying right now,
Speaker 2: although sorry, I mean like I'm.
Speaker 3: Happy that or my thought process is going there and
Speaker 3: it does it make sense.
Speaker 2: Oh no, No, I'm not unhappy with it because I
Speaker 2: think that you're wrong. I'm unhappy because they fucked us
Speaker 2: and now they're selling it to us and people are
Speaker 2: so excited to get all glittered up and buy shit
Speaker 2: with glitter on it and all these things. They literally
Speaker 2: have sold us what is killing us, and they're making
Speaker 2: billions a year from it, and still so many people
Speaker 2: are just like yes, more gladder, Like nobody is recognizing
Speaker 2: that this is a really bad.
Speaker 3: Thing, but because no one has talked about it. The
Speaker 3: only reason why it was even talked about was because
Speaker 3: of the twenty eighteen article and then it disappeared, and
Speaker 3: tell the resurgence. I think it was like last year
Speaker 3: or the year before from the TikTok guy that was like, hey,
Speaker 3: do you remember this shit? Oh that though nobody really
Speaker 3: has talked about this, And the only reason I look
Speaker 3: this up was because I was looking for atmospheric applications
Speaker 3: of glitter and then I found this article and I'm like,
Speaker 3: what what do you mean We're gonna use it on Mars?
Speaker 2: Oh? God, Okay, all right, let's keep going into it.
Speaker 3: Then, so this is talking about So before the published study,
Speaker 3: the researchers said that the dust on Mars is rich
Speaker 3: with iron and aluminum, as gathered by rovers in NASA's curiosity.
Speaker 3: While this material can't trap heat on its own, the
Speaker 3: scientists have hypothesized that if these particles can be engineered
Speaker 3: to have different shapes and compositions, they may be able
Speaker 3: to produce a natural greenhouse effect on the red planet's
Speaker 3: surface to kick off its heating. The groups claim that
Speaker 3: it's not the first time researchers have attempted to bring
Speaker 3: up the heat on Mars using greenhouse gases. One of
Speaker 3: the proposed solutions was bringing resources from Earth to Mars,
Speaker 3: but it was too expensive to be sustainable. The current
Speaker 3: research of the study add that by engineering glitter like
Speaker 3: dust part coals may made Martian soil, sorry, made of Martians,
Speaker 3: made of Martian soil which was iron and aluminum and
Speaker 3: maybe cheaper and feasible to live off the land using
Speaker 3: materials from the Red planet.
Speaker 2: I mean, I understand that concept, but holy shit. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So now reflective nanoods for a habitable Mars. You may
Speaker 2: read this one. So once the engineers fabricate these glitter
Speaker 2: like reflective nano rods from Martian soil, the launches taking
Speaker 2: place via ground based fountains. The launches, the launching takes
Speaker 2: place via ground based fountains. They're talking about it basically
Speaker 2: causing a dust bowl on Mars from its own soil
Speaker 2: to just shoot shit into the air and create Okay,
Speaker 2: that's a sing.
Speaker 3: So the glitter like so they're not technically a guess glitter,
Speaker 3: but if you look at the definition of glitter, everything
Speaker 3: is glitter underneath the the you know. So they want
Speaker 3: to make the little hexagons, that's what they want.
Speaker 2: But that's the thing they're talking about manufacturing.
Speaker 3: These from the material of Mars. That way they could
Speaker 3: take it back to Mars and pretty much make a
Speaker 3: glitter bomb in swirls to inject it up into the atmosphere.
Speaker 2: And be honest with you, if Elon gets there first
Speaker 2: he will, which I believe you will. He'll just manufacture
Speaker 2: the materials there and he won't have to take Martian
Speaker 2: soil to Earth to manufacture this to bring it back.
Speaker 2: They'll just do all the research and development there.
Speaker 3: And I think the AI robots honestly there. Yeah, until
Speaker 3: that he can get it to stabilize.
Speaker 2: So these scientists picture these tools being propelled to Mars,
Speaker 2: to the surface of Mars, where the dust particles will
Speaker 2: be released and circulated around the planet. These particles would
Speaker 2: then reflect the incoming sunlight onto the surface of the
Speaker 2: red planet until it warms and becomes livable enough for people.
Speaker 2: This is a direct quote here. It turns out from
Speaker 2: the calculations that our team has done that the random
Speaker 2: scattering of these particles will cause a strong enough greenhouse
Speaker 2: effect to warm large swaths of the Martian surface, says
Speaker 2: planetary research scientist Ramses Ramirez from the University of Central
Speaker 2: Flora's team. The study could be a breakthrough in research,
Speaker 2: and the scientists urge other researchers to consider the feasibility
Speaker 2: of their method and even take it further. The nature
Speaker 2: of the study may still be theoretical and relies on modeling,
Speaker 2: but the scientists believe that other researchers and engineers can
Speaker 2: use this knowledge to conduct further experiments and help explore
Speaker 2: making Mores habitable for people and architecture. This could be
Speaker 2: a great starting point Ramsey's Ramirez.
Speaker 3: Says, Wow, So I don't know if are glitter itself
Speaker 3: is causing an issue, but the way that it talks.
Speaker 2: About the way they're talking about it, I see your reasoning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the way that they cut it hint everything else.
Speaker 3: And they're talking about using cloud seating and talking about
Speaker 3: using it in the planes when they're firing off, you know,
Speaker 3: to disrupt the laser to the radar and stuff, and
Speaker 3: how it blankets He showed a picture of how it
Speaker 3: blanketed the sky and all of this, Like, what if
Speaker 3: there's so much glitter that has been pretty much pumped
Speaker 3: out into the atmosphere that it's causing a change in
Speaker 3: our actual you know, heating situation that's going on.
Speaker 2: So and I could see this going a twofold, right,
Speaker 2: So they found ice on Mars. They know that at
Speaker 2: least water at one time was on Mars, and the
Speaker 2: reason by that would be the rust oxide or the
Speaker 2: iron oxide that we would call rust that makes the
Speaker 2: planet so red. So if you were hypothetically to warm
Speaker 2: up the planet to some type of degree where water
Speaker 2: is unfrozen, you could have pools of water start to
Speaker 2: form on the surface of Mars, which is all you
Speaker 2: realistically need to have life start.
Speaker 3: But they've already found life though. If you actually read
Speaker 3: into NASA finding the microorganisms, they.
Speaker 2: Found signs of life. They haven't found any living microorganisms there,
Speaker 2: but they found signs that at one time MICUs lived here.
Speaker 3: They found one.
Speaker 2: They did, they did.
Speaker 3: You're right, you're right, they found one. Oh, yes, they
Speaker 3: have one. So so technically yes, Now I'm not obviously
Speaker 3: a scientist, so if I get it wrong and people
Speaker 3: want to, you know, go crazy in the comments.
Speaker 2: But I mean whatever, there's people that believe the space
Speaker 2: is fake, and I get that.
Speaker 3: This just makes sense to me though, that this could
Speaker 3: be one of the one of the leading causes to
Speaker 3: having our environmental issues because we can't control it, and
Speaker 3: once it's out and it's been out for decades, it's
Speaker 3: kind of just circulating and just boooo, whow.
Speaker 2: I this is mind blowing honestly. Now, all right, we
Speaker 2: have covered so many different aspects of the glitter industry.
Speaker 2: Now we're gonna talk about edible glitter, lust or dust,
Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it. You've seen the tiktoks
Speaker 2: of these drinks that have the swirls of glitter, and
Speaker 2: it makes people lose their shit because it's such a
Speaker 2: it's so pretty and this and this. Yeah, while it
Speaker 2: might be an attractive drink because again, on a deep
Speaker 2: seated psychological level with the human mind, we love shiny shit.
Speaker 2: And I get that. I'm just I'm not negating that.
Speaker 2: But now let's talk about where you might see some
Speaker 2: of this edible glitter and is it actually safe because
Speaker 2: although they are saying that there's the non toxic variety
Speaker 2: and the edible variety, how edible is edible? How safe
Speaker 2: is it? Is there nutrients? Is it going to cause
Speaker 2: you some sort of a health issue? Right now, we're
Speaker 2: gonna watch a quick YouTube clip that shows some examples
Speaker 2: of this luster dust being used. Then we're gonna talk
Speaker 2: about it deeper.
Speaker 9: Let's learn together, y'all, glitter also known as luster, does
Speaker 9: can make a regular drink look pretty extraordinary. Yeah, we
Speaker 9: love shiny things. But when you try that glitter lata
Speaker 9: or green beer during Saint Patrick's Day, have you asked
Speaker 9: what edible glitter is and what is made of There
Speaker 9: are two forms of glitter, first edible for food and
Speaker 9: drinks and non toxic for arts and crafts. Since non
Speaker 9: toxic glitter can be made of plastic, you shouldn't consume it,
Speaker 9: so make sure that the container states edible and has
Speaker 9: a list of ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, they very depend
Speaker 9: on a brand, but these are common ingredients in edible glitter.
Speaker 2: Real quick before the video continues. The edible glitter ingredients
Speaker 2: are sugar, which we talked about. Sometimes sugar crystals can
Speaker 2: be used as a form of their own glitter. Think
Speaker 2: of like a cupcake that you'll see that has like
Speaker 2: super sparkly chunks of sugar uses topping. Okay, that's the thing.
Speaker 2: Cornstarch very similar in that regard acacia, which is Arabic gum,
Speaker 2: and sometimes that could be used in this regard color additives, okay,
Speaker 2: fair enough. And mica powder pigments. This would be the
Speaker 2: same mica that is where glitter originated from. The dude
Speaker 2: that was cutting washers to make the nuclear bomb happen.
Speaker 2: And this is the first glitter that they found that
Speaker 2: is being used currently in the edible glitter micah, a.
Speaker 3: Rock, Yeah, no, that can withstand. That can get like
Speaker 3: made for an atomic bomb if it. Yeah, yeah, this
Speaker 3: is the edible. And then I just want to say
Speaker 3: the color additives can be anything, period, very much. It
Speaker 3: is a blanket term. Please please please read into it.
Speaker 2: Yep, that red dye forty, that yellow number five, all
Speaker 2: the things, all the things. One, let's continue. I just
Speaker 2: want to stop and make sure he read that list
Speaker 2: off first, but let's continue.
Speaker 9: All FDA approved and safe to consume. But even Baker's
Speaker 9: mixologists recommend using it once in a while in small amounts.
Speaker 9: It adds no additional flavor to your drink, but a beautiful,
Speaker 9: shimmery squirrel adds a wild factor that will be noticeable
Speaker 9: in your social media accounts.
Speaker 2: Okay, so even the experts, the FDA approves it as
Speaker 2: safe to consume. For the record, I don't know how
Speaker 2: many of you have ever read into what the FDA
Speaker 2: approves and considers safe for edible for use, for instance,
Speaker 2: dog food. Did you know that all dog food by
Speaker 2: law in the United States of America has to be
Speaker 2: safe for human consumption because of the Great Depression.
Speaker 3: I want people to actually go to the website. So
Speaker 3: the FDA puts out a website that has all the
Speaker 3: ingredients that they allow in food. It's like about sixty
Speaker 3: someone pages. I've actually printed it out and read through it.
Speaker 3: The amount of shit that is on this list. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the amount of bugs, Yeah that is on this list
Speaker 3: is insane.
Speaker 2: Well that's natural, Raven, that's natural.
Speaker 3: There's so many things though that you read and it's like,
Speaker 3: wait what and then you look at all the other
Speaker 3: countries that have banned so much stuff. But to your point, though,
Speaker 3: even this video is saying you should only consume this
Speaker 3: every now and again because it's not safe. Like it's
Speaker 3: not safe at all.
Speaker 2: But they claim that it's safe and in the same breath,
Speaker 2: we'll tell you only use it once in a while.
Speaker 2: Well why why, mister government official with the FDA. If
Speaker 2: it's safe, then what difference does it make. So let's
Speaker 2: talk about that a little deeper, shall we? All right
Speaker 2: on screen, right now, we have an article, So what
Speaker 2: is edible glitter? And we already talked about some of it,
Speaker 2: Like you know, it's used in the drinks and the
Speaker 2: cupcakes and the things and the stuff. So is it
Speaker 2: okay to eat edible glitter? The first and important question
Speaker 2: people ask about edible glitter is whether it's safe to eat.
Speaker 2: The short answer is yes, as long as the glitter
Speaker 2: is specifically labeled as edible. Let's dive deeper into what
Speaker 2: this means. So edible versus non edible glitter. Not all
Speaker 2: glitter is meant to be eaten. Glitter products that are
Speaker 2: used for arts and crafts are often made from plastic, metal,
Speaker 2: or glass and can be harmful if ingested. These crafting
Speaker 2: glitters are labeled as non toxic, but that doesn't mean
Speaker 2: that they are safe to eat. Non toxic simply means
Speaker 2: that the product is not poison if if small amounts
Speaker 2: are accidentally ingested, like if a child eats glue. Okay,
Speaker 2: fair enough. However, craft glitter is not digestible and can
Speaker 2: cause harm if eaten in large quantities. I want to
Speaker 2: put a pin in that one if eaten in large quantities,
Speaker 2: because believe it or not, the edible glitter is also
Speaker 2: unsafe if ingested in large quantities. So how are they
Speaker 2: classifying this? It's not toxic, it won't hurt you. But
Speaker 2: the edible glitter is also not gonna hurt you, but
Speaker 2: only eat both of both of them. If you eat
Speaker 2: a bunch of them, will hurt you.
Speaker 3: Because they both have aluminium in them.
Speaker 2: We'll get to it. Because the edible doesn't have aluminum.
Speaker 3: Mica, oh, it should have aluminum.
Speaker 2: But like, okay, mica can also be used as a
Speaker 2: glitter substitute. Remember that was the first glitter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know so.
Speaker 2: But even still, even if you're eating particle sized aluminum,
Speaker 2: you're gonna pass it through your body and it's probably
Speaker 2: not gonna cut anything and it's not gonna cause any
Speaker 2: real issues. But the reason why they're saying not to
Speaker 2: eat a lot of it is essentially because it will
Speaker 2: cause a massive glitter constantpation. You'll let get a glitter impaction. Essentially,
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, the same thing will happen if
Speaker 2: you eat a bunch of mica glitter, i e. Edible glitter.
Speaker 2: If you eat a bunch of it, you'll basically have
Speaker 2: a glitter plug that is created within your intestines.
Speaker 3: Just don't eat it, don't use it in anything. Guys.
Speaker 2: Edible glitter, on the other hand, is specifically designed to
Speaker 2: be consumed. It is made from food great ingredients that
Speaker 2: are digestible and meet safety standards set by the regulatory
Speaker 2: agencies such as the FDA and the US or I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: in the US. These ingredients ensure that the edible glitter
Speaker 2: is non toxic, digestible, and safe to eat. So that
Speaker 2: is a bit of a misnomber. Aside from the edible
Speaker 2: glitter that you're seeing, Like I said, the sugar particles,
Speaker 2: the cornstarch particles, the acacia gum, these things are that's
Speaker 2: gonna be digested, it's gonna be dissolved. It's not gonna
Speaker 2: hurt you them. Drinks that are using the luster dust
Speaker 2: that is none of these products, because all those products
Speaker 2: are water soluble and they would dissolve in the drink
Speaker 2: before you drink it. The ones that are causing the
Speaker 2: glittery swirl in your drinks are mica based. So let's
Speaker 2: get into it here. So what are edible glitter or
Speaker 2: what is edible glitter made of? Edible glitter is typically
Speaker 2: made from a combination of food, gray dyes, starches, and
Speaker 2: purlescent pigments. These ingredients are chosen not just for their
Speaker 2: aesthetic appeal, but for the safety when ingested. Common ingredients
Speaker 2: include mica based perlescent pigments. That's number one. These are
Speaker 2: minerals that give glitter its shimmering effect. They are commonly
Speaker 2: used in cosmetics and food products to create a reflective
Speaker 2: or perlescent appearance. Dextros or sugar, So that would be
Speaker 2: sugar or like mois structure. What's the other types of
Speaker 2: because dextro is like nutrisweet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is a sugar. It's a type of sugar. It's
Speaker 3: just a different type of structure.
Speaker 2: One's lab grown, one's grown from the ground kind of thing.
Speaker 2: These actors based for the glitter particles, giving them structure
Speaker 2: and allowing them to stick to food. I e. You
Speaker 2: remember how we were talking about how it's the aluminum
Speaker 2: and the plastic and then the cealant. Yeah, the sugar
Speaker 2: is being used as the sealant for the mica. Okay,
Speaker 2: Food safe colorants like yellow number five, Red forty, and
Speaker 2: blue two are FDA approof for food and give the
Speaker 2: glitter its fiberant colors. Literally, everything we just listed is
Speaker 2: harmful to us.
Speaker 3: I just want people to understand though that, Like if
Speaker 3: you look at the back of a ton of food
Speaker 3: products in the store, including all the things that we
Speaker 3: give kids a lot. It has all of that in there,
Speaker 3: and then look into what it does to your body. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's crazy. And then people look at you like you're
Speaker 3: psychotic when you refuse to do stuff. So I actually
Speaker 3: am really weird about my kids eating sugar overall. But
Speaker 3: yich is good, but my kids don't have so I
Speaker 3: normally make their cookies and all of that, and I
Speaker 3: have to buy this special kind of dye and special
Speaker 3: kind of frosting and all this stuff if I don't
Speaker 3: handmake it, because loll and behold the frosting, the sugar
Speaker 3: sprinkles and all that crap. Super toxic, yeah, and terrible
Speaker 3: for you. So when you're like just buying the store
Speaker 3: bought stuff for everybody, no no, no, no, no, it's
Speaker 3: not good for you, like at all. And the kids
Speaker 3: really shouldn't have it because man, does it disrupt everything
Speaker 3: in their body.
Speaker 2: So just so we're all on the same page here,
Speaker 2: the sugar doesn't do the glittery thing. It gives them
Speaker 2: structure and allows them to stick to food. The colorants
Speaker 2: do not make the glittery thing happen. They give it
Speaker 2: its color. Starches, corn starch, and or other starches can
Speaker 2: be used to help glitter maintain its structure. Once again,
Speaker 2: the starches are not being used as the glittery component.
Speaker 2: All of the things that I just listed. The only
Speaker 2: thing that does the sparkly shit is the mica, which
Speaker 2: is a mineral. It's a rock from the ground that
Speaker 2: they pulverize into very small pieces, and that is what
Speaker 2: gives the glitter its color. Yes, it's natural. Yes, it's
Speaker 2: not going to harm your body. It's like it's not
Speaker 2: like lead, it's not metallic. It's not going to put
Speaker 2: harmful heavy metals in your bloodstream, nothing like that. That's fine.
Speaker 2: But essentially it's just ground up rock, dude. That's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And so all these other things about the edible glitter
Speaker 2: and how it's so safe, that's all it actually is.
Speaker 2: So edible glitter is edible glitter just microplastics. We've already
Speaker 2: talked a good bit about the microplastics with glitter. What
Speaker 2: are microplastics? Why edible glitter is not made of plastic?
Speaker 2: Cool cool cool is edible glitter FDA approved? We just
Speaker 2: talked about that. All the things we listed are apparently
Speaker 2: FDA approved. But again, please go look at all the
Speaker 2: things that are considered FDA approved. Just because it's safe
Speaker 2: for human consumption does not mean that it is good
Speaker 2: for human consumption. Just on this out again. Seriously, look
Speaker 2: at dog food. That's a real thing. So why are
Speaker 2: some glitters not FDA approved? Basically they're saying that craft
Speaker 2: glitter yeah, and like not yeah, which they're doing it
Speaker 2: more and more so. Is edible glitter just micah powder?
Speaker 2: Another common question is whether edible glitter is simply mica powder,
Speaker 2: a mineral used for its shimmering effects. While micah is
Speaker 2: one of the key ingredients in many edible glitters, edible
Speaker 2: glitter is not just mica powder. Let's break down what
Speaker 2: mica powder is and how it is used in edible glitter. So,
Speaker 2: micah is a naturally occurring mineral that is mine from
Speaker 2: the earth and processed into fine powders. Once again, primarily
Speaker 2: it is mined from slave labor in certain parts of
Speaker 2: the world that don't really ask questions about that, so
Speaker 2: we're on the same page. These powders are often used
Speaker 2: in cosmetics, paints, and food products to create a purlescent
Speaker 2: or shimmering effect. Because Micah is non toxic and safer ingestin.
Speaker 2: In small amounts. It is commonly used in food decorations
Speaker 2: like edible glitter. So how is micah used in edible glitter?
Speaker 2: We already talked about it. Mica is used to provide
Speaker 2: the shimmering sparkling effect. All the other shit is added
Speaker 2: to it to give its color and its luster. Thus,
Speaker 2: while micah is a key component of edible glitters, it
Speaker 2: is not the only ingredient. The combination of micah, food
Speaker 2: save color, and stabilizers like we talked about, creates a
Speaker 2: more robust product that adheres well to food and provides
Speaker 2: a long lasting sparkle. So why doesn't edible glitter dissolve?
Speaker 2: This is kind of the lynchpin here. You may have
Speaker 2: noticed that when you sprinkle edible glitter in onto food
Speaker 2: or into a drink, it doesn't dissolve like sugar or
Speaker 2: the other ingredients. This is because edible glitter is made
Speaker 2: from materials that are insoluble in water or fat, such
Speaker 2: as mica. So again, cutting too, we're gonna they pretty
Speaker 2: much are reiterating what I just said. Now, how is
Speaker 2: micah formed in nature? And is it safe for consumption?
Speaker 2: This is from the Slow Food group. Long story short.
Speaker 2: This is a relatively short article, but we've already covered
Speaker 2: a good bit of what it's about. So it is
Speaker 2: a muscutive rock, okay, And so how is muscutoves formed?
Speaker 2: Miscutove is formed by crystallization of magma from the hot gases, vapors,
Speaker 2: and hot solution basically deep within the earth, where the
Speaker 2: veins of magma mix with those vapors and gases, a
Speaker 2: chemical metamorphism occurs, and the heat and pressure from that
Speaker 2: metamorphic reaction further transform sediment and minerals into bits of mica.
Speaker 2: Within other clay minerals, these bits act as a seed,
Speaker 2: growing into larger flakes of mica over time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty wild. Honestly.
Speaker 2: This is what we're using in glitter, y'all. So is
Speaker 2: micah good for your health?
Speaker 3: Glitter?
Speaker 2: Well, technically I'm not even gonna use that term, Like
Speaker 2: edible glitter is. It's clearly not meant to be edible.
Speaker 2: But they're just saying that, like, oh, it's fine, it'll
Speaker 2: be fine, just don't use a lot of it. But like,
Speaker 2: you're fine, what that's not how edible shit works. You're
Speaker 2: not gonna tell me like, oh, steak is fine, just
Speaker 2: don't eat like a lot of it, Like steak's cool. No,
Speaker 2: that's good for you. It's good things anyway anyway, So
Speaker 2: is micah good for your health? Micah is a non
Speaker 2: metallic mineral and does contain some properties that are needed
Speaker 2: in the human diet, such as potassium. However, the edible
Speaker 2: metals muscutive is not a nourishing edible, or like edible metals,
Speaker 2: it is not a nourishing edible. It is biologically inert,
Speaker 2: meaning the properties it is made up of will not
Speaker 2: be absorbed into the human body. Instead, it simply passes through,
Speaker 2: neither causing harm nor providing nourishment to the body. Now
Speaker 2: is it safe for consumption? Even though food grave mica
Speaker 2: is not bio available and will pass through the human system,
Speaker 2: not all mica, or even all culinary glitter dusts are
Speaker 2: safe for human consumption. There are many many companies marketing
Speaker 2: luster dust for use in culinary applications when they are
Speaker 2: not food grade and should not be ingested. In these cases,
Speaker 2: the product does not comply with the usca US food
Speaker 2: safety standards and should not be consumed. Often they will
Speaker 2: not list ingredients, but may contain harmful substances, including unsafe
Speaker 2: metals and even lead. Rest assured our pearl luster dusts
Speaker 2: are made from mica that have been specifically approved for
Speaker 2: food use. Even though they just said it's not meant
Speaker 2: for food use, it's not going to do anything good
Speaker 2: for you. And honestly, in another article that I read
Speaker 2: that I didn't pull up, if you eat enough of it,
Speaker 2: it's basically going to cause a glitter impaction, the wildest shit.
Speaker 2: But so many people are using this like crazy right now. Anyway,
Speaker 2: So now we have this last article, but honestly, we've
Speaker 2: already covered so many things about it. I don't really
Speaker 2: think we need okay to go this route. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, where are you at with everything? Raven?
Speaker 3: I think that this is a really interesting, overall, I
Speaker 3: don't know overall thing that's impacting us in so many ways,
Speaker 3: and that it's one of those things that most people
Speaker 3: don't know about, most people don't talk about. Hell, I
Speaker 3: knew about it, and I still didn't even really know
Speaker 3: about it until I looked into it. I think that
Speaker 3: it's changing us, and it's impacting our health, and it's
Speaker 3: impacting our environment, and I think it's going to impact
Speaker 3: the whole Mars conversation.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that was a talking point until this.
Speaker 2: This is bullshit.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 3: There's so many things well, and that's the thing though,
Speaker 3: when it comes to science and all of these things
Speaker 3: being created in us throughout time, like nobody really thinks
Speaker 3: about where we get shit from. And I'm one of
Speaker 3: those people too. Sometimes though, I sit there and I'll
Speaker 3: be like, look randomly looking at something, how did this
Speaker 3: get developed? Who thought of this? And once you start
Speaker 3: breaking things down and you really start looking at well,
Speaker 3: who thought of this? Like who even created this? I
Speaker 3: never even thought to look into glitter except for I
Speaker 3: heard this talk years ago and then I saw that
Speaker 3: actual glitter video on TikTok when I was looking at
Speaker 3: the sand industry. Yeah, and it tied in because Micah
Speaker 3: is you know, because it's detrivative from Earth, it got
Speaker 3: tied into the sand industry. And that's how I ended
Speaker 3: up stumbling upon this.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, so for the record, the way that you
Speaker 2: just broke that down is the same way that so
Speaker 2: many conspiracy theories come to light. Rights And I don't
Speaker 2: mean to make it sound colloquial, it's like, well, we're
Speaker 2: just asking questions. But no, no, no, Realistically, that is
Speaker 2: where these theories come from, and that is how this
Speaker 2: research starts. You see something that you don't fully understand
Speaker 2: and you just think, wait, why is this that way?
Speaker 2: How did this become this thing? Why do I believe
Speaker 2: this about it instead of this? What am I basing
Speaker 2: that off of knowledge? Or is it just something that
Speaker 2: was told to me once upon a time and I
Speaker 2: have just accepted it. And then you start pulling back
Speaker 2: the layers and you start digging deep, and before you
Speaker 2: realize it, you're a full fledged conspiracy theorist and nobody
Speaker 2: believes you and things that you're crazy, But like, that's
Speaker 2: that's just kind of what we do.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. What are your thoughts on the glitter situation.
Speaker 2: I think that it is crazy to look at the
Speaker 2: glitter industry as a whole and to see where it
Speaker 2: began before I started doing this research. If you would
Speaker 2: have told me that glitter became a thing because a
Speaker 2: dude from Kodak Photography got hired by the US government
Speaker 2: to work for the Manhattan Project, which later was figured
Speaker 2: out by Kodak for other reasons. Weird circle of events there,
Speaker 2: and then he went on to start a company that
Speaker 2: we now know as just the Creators of Glitter, and
Speaker 2: that some Indian dude basically had a spinoff. And both
Speaker 2: of these companies are in the same county in New Jersey,
Speaker 2: and they are making the vast majority, if not all,
Speaker 2: of the worlds of glitter still to this day. That
Speaker 2: would have been crazy enough right off the rip. That
Speaker 2: would have been crazy enough to just think, holy shit
Speaker 2: when died. What then cut to all the applications that
Speaker 2: glitter is being used for today. And I don't mean
Speaker 2: just in our food. I don't mean just in arts
Speaker 2: and crafts, in the medical industry, in the forensics industry,
Speaker 2: in the aerospace industry, I mean military.
Speaker 3: Military I think is the biggest buyers of glitter.
Speaker 2: I would believe that.
Speaker 3: I believe one hundred percent. I think next in line
Speaker 3: would be cosmetics, and then after that would be food.
Speaker 3: But I personally believe that the glitter industry is buying,
Speaker 3: or in the military industry, is buying, all of.
Speaker 2: The glitter and then to cut to then to cut
Speaker 2: to microplastics and that effect and how all this glitter
Speaker 2: eventually makes its way to the ocean. It's already in
Speaker 2: micro form, so you're not even having to make much
Speaker 2: distinction here. And then the microplastics that are going into
Speaker 2: our oceans, going into our clouds. They are using it
Speaker 2: to control weather and track weather, which again they confirmed,
Speaker 2: we didn't make that up. They'd confirmed that, and then
Speaker 2: to say that that might be the cause for the
Speaker 2: greenhouse gas conversation, and they are now trying to use
Speaker 2: it to colonize Mars, to create greenhouse gases on Mars
Speaker 2: via glitter. I got to say, I'm a little floored.
Speaker 2: I'm a little mind blown. And as I've said many
Speaker 2: a time, glitter truly is the herpies of arts and crafts,
Speaker 2: but it's also apparently the herpies.
Speaker 3: Of the universe. Of the universe is not just now
Speaker 3: of Earth. Now, it's going to be the universe. Because
Speaker 3: also you have to think it's in It's probably used
Speaker 3: in the satellites. It's all used in the ships because
Speaker 3: of the reflecting and everything else that is used for
Speaker 3: if you believe in space. For you know Artemis too,
Speaker 3: that's going to be launching this year, it could be
Speaker 3: potentially used in all of that. So it's not just here,
Speaker 3: it's everywhere now like it's it's literally a universal situation happening.
Speaker 2: My mind has thoroughly been blown ravenly. I am very
Speaker 2: happy that you brought this to the table. I mean,
Speaker 2: we've talked about doing a glitter episode for a good
Speaker 2: while now, but yeah, this, Uh, I honestly didn't think
Speaker 2: it was going to go to this direction and to
Speaker 2: this depth and have so many other can as into
Speaker 2: so many different conspiratorial conversations. This is a wild one.
Speaker 3: Well, what do you guys think? Do you think that
Speaker 3: glitter is a true conspiracy? Do you think it's going
Speaker 3: to be used in Mars? Do you think it's impacting
Speaker 3: our Greenhouse missions? Do you think it's impacting us? What
Speaker 3: do you think about the glitter and this whole crazy
Speaker 3: turn of events and situation. When it comes to it, we.
Speaker 2: Want to hear from you good cult members. Let us
Speaker 2: know in the comments. But before we give our sendoff,
Speaker 2: we also want to let you know about something else
Speaker 2: that is very shiny but also very good.
Speaker 3: Apparently actually the sticker, No shit, the sticker has glitter
Speaker 3: in it, y'all.
Speaker 2: The fluorescent sticker on these products in fact have glitter.
Speaker 2: Glitter makes it connection into the precious metals industry, y'all,
Speaker 2: and if you would like to see what we are
Speaker 2: talking about and order some of this for yourself, what
Speaker 2: Jania do is go to the link in the description

Speaker 2: our homeboy Wayne Clark will be the one to reach
Speaker 2: out to you and get you squared away. Talk to
Speaker 2: your financial advisor, Talk to your CPA and ask them
Speaker 2: if they believe if investing in precious metals is a
Speaker 2: wise investment for the I promise you that they're going
Speaker 2: to tell you that at least a portion of your
Speaker 2: retirement portfolio needs to be invested in precious metals. Best

Speaker 2: to hear from you as far as the glitter conversation
Speaker 2: is concerned. What do you think? Do you think that
Speaker 2: we are crazy? Do you think that there is nothing
Speaker 2: wrong with glitter and that is no big deal? Do
Speaker 2: you think that this was a hair brain theory? Or
Speaker 2: are you starting to see the connections on the court
Speaker 2: board and the depths and the levels and the history
Speaker 2: that is all connected to Do you think that this
Speaker 2: all might be a part to bring the detriment to
Speaker 2: the earth to colonize Mars? Do you think glitter might
Speaker 2: be a cause for greenhouse gases? Are the microplastic inst
Speaker 2: so many men's testicles? Do you think that the edible
Speaker 2: glitter is actually safe and that we are just speculating
Speaker 2: into nonsense here? Let us know in the comments below.
Speaker 2: Like I said, the best place to do this would
Speaker 2: be too Please hit the five stars, hit the shares
