Interview: Courtney Barnett Talks About Her Album 'Tell Me How You Really Feel'
Roy Irwin / Wednesday 8th August, 2018 8:56AM
Roy Irwin is a solo artist from Auckland who has been writing, recording and producing his music for over ten years. When he is not making music, Roy spends his time skateboarding, painting and designing posters for local and international acts.
Courtney Barnett's second studio album Tell Me How You Really Feel is a beautiful, pissed off, anxious and depressive collection of songs which I instantly fell in love with. Being my first interview with another artist, I waited nervously to record what potentially would be me making a fool out of myself. After introducing myself I thought Courtney sounded a bit over it all and if I was her I would be too. Having a string of phone interviews with strangers who are picking your brain can't be that fun. But, Courtney was charming, honest and captivating and, like the content of her songs, I found her to be a person I could relate to and someone who was very connected to the world around her. We talked about songwriting, serendipitous friendships and misogyny in the music industry ahead of this month's New Zealand shows...
Hey Courtney, how are you today?
Hi, very well. Thank you.
Your new album Tell Me How You Really Feel is beautiful. A track I really love on it is 'Hopefulessness'. I feel like I can relate to it in a way. I get depressive and anxious feelings from it and also the anger. Would you say that is right and is it cool to ask you what the song is about or what inspired it?
That's definitely on track. It's that balance between being hopeless and feeling hopeless and wanting to be hopeful and that kinda like push and pull, that kind of... anger, anxiety. I guess recognising in myself and people around me that those two kind of conflicting feelings and I think how to not get lost with seeing them and how to turn it into something useful and positive.
Tell Me How You Really Feel by courtney barnett
I can definitely understand that. On the album you had Dan Luscombe (The Drones) and Burke Reid (Gerling) on board to produce the album with you, I was wondering if there was any difference in comparison to producing the last album together or whether it was a fairly similar approach?
Yeah it was quite similar. It was a quite similar set up I guess. We almost just jumped back in where we left off. It was great. It was great working with them again.
The lyrics on the album, I read somewhere that you were kinda just writing things down on a typewriter everyday or whenever something came to you. Is that right?
I ask about this because I do it myself and because it's such a stream of consciousness sometimes that I look at lyrics and think "What the hell am I talking about?" but then maybe a month or a year later they sometimes start to make sense. Do you experience this too because of this way of writing?
Yeah, that always happens with me. I find it a fun part of the process... so much of it can be so frustrating and feeling like your getting nowhere and saying nothing and just writing all this weird stuff that doesn't make sense, but I think sometimes with that kind of time or different perspective it jumps out. That was an interesting part of my process, which was just writing everyday with no intention and no goal except maybe I'd set myself up for a couple of pages or a time limit. Then I'd read back over it months later with like a highlighter and, just kind of pick out the stand out lines or things. It was really interesting.
It can be kinda freaky sometimes when it all starts to make sense. It's kind of a weird feeling right?
I'm not making any assumptions but you seem like a laid back person, just from watching past interviews and things. It made me wanna ask whether you find it hard touring sometimes, because one of the things that makes me anxious is the thought of long periods of travel or perhaps talking to somebody like me, when you might not wanna talk y'know?
I think I've gotten more used to the travel. I definitely have had anxiety with that in the past and sometimes I still do, but it's almost like a bit of time of peace now. It's a kinda like a slowing down process or something. But yeah I definitely have and get plenty of anxieties of talking to people. I think my thing is sometimes I have trouble communicating what I'm trying to say and then I get kinda frustrated or self-conscious and that can send me to a weird place... hah!
I understand. It's nice to hear when someone else feels the same way. I was wondering who your favourite Australian band is at the moment?
[pondering silence] Ohhhh at the moment um. Well...
It's a pretty hard question really. [laughs]
Yeah, I think pretty much all the bands on Milk! Records which is the label that I have. I love all of them and I wouldn't work with them unless I loved them, haha. There is a lot. But I guess a non-Milk! band... I'm really loving the new Laura Jean album.
Oh yeah, I still haven't listened to the album but I was listening to a few of her tracks the other day. Have you heard an older Sydney band called Smudge?
Yeah, yeah! I love Smudge.
I'm a big fan too. I was thinking about Smudge because of Tom Morgan who co wrote a lot of Lemonheads songs because you played 'Being Around' with Evan Dando. What was that like? Do you keep in touch with him?
Oh no, we don't keep in touch but I guess we bump into each other over time. Like I did a tour in America where I took... Evan had or has this kind of side-project called the Sandwich Police. [both laugh]
I took them on tour and that was awesome. Just watching him perform every night was cool. I did a thing with Smudge in Sydney a couple of years ago and I recorded a version of their song, 'Divan'. They did that re-release with all these people doing covers of all of their songs, I'm a big fan of those guys and their songs.
For sure. Are you a fan of other Half-A-Cow bands as well?
That was the label right?
Yeah I think it was like, Nic Dalton's who played in the Plunderers and The Lemonheads for a while.
That's right. Yeah, I've been exposed to some of that stuff.
Rad. I heard you and your partner Jen Cloher listened to a lot of Kurt Vile, the album - Smoke Ring For My Halo when you first met. Was that before you met Kurt?
Yeah definitely. I probably didn't meet him til... oh I dunno maybe a year or so later? I supported a show he did in Melbourne but we didn't really become friends until a little bit later after that. So it was a pretty drawn out meeting process.
Was it surreal to become friends and then make music with this person who you've had an intimate experience with their music, so to speak?
Yeah. [laughs] Yeah it's crazy, I mean. I've had so many experiences like that and I guess it's just good to keep an open mind I guess and be open to the world around us.
Absolutely. I really love a line in the song 'Nameless / Faceless' where you sing "I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and spit better words than you. But you didn't." I understand that came from a comment from some guy on the internet and I thought, do you see many reviews or other comments because speaking from some experience they can be pretty fuckin' stupid right?
Yeah. I mean, I see some I guess. I read some. I think it's hard to take anything negative which is always gonna be the louder voice in your head. [laughs] But it's healthy to read those and know they exist because that is the world and that is reality. Not everyone likes everything and that's normal. I think it's unhealthy to only read one side. I think I'm pretty at peace with that reality... ahah.
You'd have a hard time I guess if you weren't. There would be no escape out of it. Another line I really love in that song is "I hold my keys between my fingers" when referring to walking through a park in the dark. As a male who gets mistaken as a woman often or yelled at by super masculine dudes passing in cars, I do this as well. As a woman in the music industry, how often do you experience bullshit from men? I ask because although we are evolving as humans I feel as though misogyny in all industries is still something that does get swept under the rug.
Yeah it does and I was talking about this. I'm always talking about it on some level. I was talking about it with friends the other night about how it's kind of changed over time and how it used to just be so kinda out in the open and It's better now, but it's almost like it's so much more covert and a lot of it is through much more subtle manipulation and hidden remarks. It's definitely still there and I think with all these conversations that it's really opening eyes to how things can change and be better. It's definitely better but it could be a whole lot better that's for sure.
I agree. I wanted to also tell you about how I have long hair and because of this people constantly compare my music to Kurt Vile's even though our music is pretty different I'd say. [both laugh]
I recently cut myself a fringe and now my hair kinda looks more like yours and I've been joking that people will start comparing my music to your music. Do you get any comparisons that you find really funny.
I think any comparison is funny. Even that is funny, that you have long hair and people say "Kurt Vile". It's just y'know... [laughs] I get why we all make comparisons... it's easy.
It makes people feel safe I guess...
Yeah, put things in a box and to kinda know the sound that something sounds like something else or looks like something. I dunno. I try not to take any of it to heart.
I better let you go but thank you so much for your time today and I'm looking forward to seeing you play in Auckland. Just one last question though, Are you a fan of Jurassic Park and do you think you'll watch Jurassic World?
Oh yeah I love Jurassic Park. I'll probably go when I'm on tour. We like going to the movies. [laughs] When we are somewhere weird. But yeah I'll probably go see it.
Have a great day Courtney.
Yeah, you too. See ya.

Coronavirus: latest developments for landlords
Coronavirus / 19 March 2020
Yesterday, the government announced a radical package of measures to protect renters and landlords affected by coronavirus. As a result, no renter in either social or private accommodation will be forced out of their home during this difficult time.
The urgent measures include:
– Emergency legislation to suspend new evictions from social or private rented accommodation while this national emergency is taking place.
– No new possession proceedings through applications to the court to start during the crisis.
– Landlords will also be protected as a 3-month mortgage payment holiday is extended to Buy to Let mortgages.
Possession actions going forward
At the end of this period (being at least three months), landlords and tenants will be expected to work together to establish an affordable rent repayment plan, taking into account tenants' individual circumstances.
A new pre-action protocol for possession claims will also be introduced to apply after the three-month period (or whenever) which will apply to private as well as social tenancies to strengthen its remit and to 'support the necessary engagement between landlords and tenants to resolve disputes and landlords will have to reach out to tenants to understand the financial position they are in'.
Uncertainties
It is not yet clear what will happen to existing possession claims and whether the emergency legislation will extend to any possession claim, including against licensees, or limited to Rent Act/Housing Act 1985/ Housing Act 1988 only. At this stage, we strongly recommend this legislation is followed by landlords and licensors alike, including property guardianship companies. We appreciate however, many property guardian companies will not benefit from Buy to Let mortgage relief, given the standard structure of the business model.
It is also unclear whether the new protocol will only apply to rent arrears claims, or whether it would extend further. But where will this leave landlords/licensors with tenants/licensees demonstrating anti-social behavior, for example.
We will update you further when full guidance is published. In the meantime, if you wish to discuss any concerns or issues arising from this article, please do get in touch.

The History Channel's America's War On Drugs: How Accurate Was This Docu-Series?
Kalee Brown
For a long time, the truth about the war on drugs was only known by high-level politicians and "conspiracy theorists," as many people couldn't fathom the idea that the U.S. government, which claimed to be "against drugs," was the very institution facilitating the drug trade. Nevertheless, over the years, more of the truth behind this propaganda campaign has come to light, allowing society to further understand the role the government plays in drug trafficking and how that relates to the prison system and other aspects of society.

Now, America's war on drugs is finally starting to be addressed in the mainstream. Last year, the Netflix documentary 13th was released, which discussed the link the war on drugs has to the prison system and the mass incarceration of black people (you can read about this here). Last week, the History Channel released a four-part docu-series titled America's War on Drugs, highlighting some of the key elements of this propaganda campaign.
It's truly inspiring to see mainstream media (MSM) finally address what was once considered a conspiracy theory. The term "conspiracy theory" was actually created by CIA "media assets," as evidenced in the design laid out by "Document 1035-960: Concerning Criticism of the Warren Report," a report issued in early 1967 to Agency bureaus all over the world. The government strategically introduced that term in order to cast doubt upon the public and influence the narrative.
So many people blatantly cast off different topics, deeming them "conspiracy theories" without ever actually looking into them. This is precisely why the CIA introduced this term in the first place, to encourage the public to cast doubt upon subjects that seemed too corrupt or disturbing to be true, favouring government programs like MK Ultra and propaganda campaigns like the war on terror and the war on drugs.
At this point, there are so many government documents, whistleblowers, and high-level politicians and government employees who have exposed the war on drugs that MSM can no longer deny it. The History Channel's special about the war on drugs was surprisingly informative, especially for those who are unfamiliar with the topic, and ultimately seemed to be a step in the right direction toward increased transparency and disclosure. However, the docu-series (unsurprisingly) left some elements of the war on drugs out.
Background Information: What is the "War on Drugs"?
The war on drugs was a propaganda campaign that was created by U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1971. Disguised as a tactic to decrease drug usage across the nation, it was actually a strategy to incarcerate people by the masses, particularly black citizens. Even the elite were in on this plan, as some of the regulations that helped mass incarcerate people became known as the "Rockefeller drug laws." Between 1970 and 1980, the U.S. prison population increased from around 300K to 500K.
John Ehrlichman, Nixon's former Domestic Policy Chief, explained:
The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.
Ronald Reagan's era was no different, as police continued to arrest people by the masses for minor crimes, and the U.S. prison population grew to 700K in 1985 and reached approximately 1.2 million by 1990. With the rise of the Clintons, the situation worsened significantly. Bill implemented the "three strikes" rule, whereby an individual, once convicted of three crimes, would go to jail for life. At around the same time, Hillary Clinton coined the term "super-predators," a racially-coded word for black criminals.
By 2000, the U.S. prison population had almost doubled, skyrocketing to over 2 million. By the time Bill Clinton left the Oval Office in 2001, the U.S. had the highest incarceration rate in the world. Despite the fact that Bill has apologized for playing a substantial role in mass incarcerating Americans, he recently exposed his true colours by defending his and his wife's actions. This was briefly addressed in the docu-series, mentioning the effect that the three-strike rule had on hippies and black people, but ultimately did not go deep enough into it to truly understand the gravity of the situation.
The irony of all of this is that the U.S. government and many corporations were benefiting heavily from the rise in drug usage in the U.S. because they were the very institutions perpetuating this system. The CIA was actually one of the most prominent drug traffickers/dealers in the world, and they were ultimately to blame for the rise in heroin, LSD/acid, and many other drugs.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was even created in part to increase drug trafficking. When the volume of trade increased, it got easier for cartels and the CIA to traffic drugs across the border because U.S. border control wasn't able to perform searches as thoroughly as they could before. The History Channel actually did a wonderful job of explaining this and criminalizing the CIA, highlighting its role as one of the most powerful drug dealers in history.
The CIA is no stranger to money laundering, performing dangerous tests on unwilling patients, and even committing murder over drugs. Two of the drugs the CIA had focused on for decades were LSD, through a CIA-sanctioned program called MK Ultra, as well as heroin, which is created using opium. Though the History Channel did accurately portray parts of the CIA's role in mass distributing both of these drugs, they left key elements of these programs out.
What Did the Docu-Series Leave Out Regarding LSD/MK Ultra?
The CIA designed LSD with a Swiss manufacturer as part of the MK Ultra program in hopes that they could force people to take it and convince them to do unspeakable acts, all of which they'd forget the following morning, once the drugs wore off. Testing started with unwilling participants being lured into a hotel room by prostitutes, who would then slip the drugs into their drinks. A CIA agent would then watch the test subjects as they tripped out behind a wall of the hotel room.
The particular project within MK Ultra that the prostitutes were involved with was called Midnight Climax. This eventually turned into full-blown brothels in the U.S. run by the CIA, whereby the women working there would lure men into them, but instead of receiving sexual favours, were unknowingly drugged and then observed by CIA agents.
The CIA then started to test willing patients in lab settings, observing their reactions to LSD and asking them questions. To their disappointment, instead of helping them control their patients' minds, LSD actually freed their minds. Despite the propaganda campaign on the war on drugs, whereby the government was telling people they were against all drug use, it was the government who brought LSD over and put it in the hands of the public. This was actually very well documented by the History Channel, which is remarkable given that MK Ultra was one of, if not the, most corrupt program in the history of the U.S. government.
However, the History Channel left out a lot regarding MK Ultra and the role that drugs had on its participants. The History Channel made it seem like the test subjects were tripping out on LSD peacefully, as doctors observed them and asked them questions. In reality, "The drug program was part of a much larger CIA program to study possible means for controlling human behaviour. Other studies explored the effects of radiation, electric-shock, psychology, psychiatry, sociology and harassment substances," as a 1975 document addressed to the President stated.
Many of the participants were unwilling adults and children, subjected to different methods of sexual abuse and physical abuse including intense electroshock therapy and sensory deprivation. What these victims were forced to endure was cruel and inhumane, and many of the participants didn't just walk away unaffected like the History Channel made it seem. Many victims are still under mind control today or are still suffering the effects from the experiments, and some people were severely injured or died. You can read more about what the History Channel failed to disclose regarding this subject in a CE article I wrote here.
What Did the Docu-Series Leave Out Regarding Opium & 9/11?
The CIA actually owned and operated a covert drug smuggling airline, referred to as Air America, which was used to transport numerous goods, including heroin. In Southeast Asia (SEA), during the Vietnam War, the CIA worked alongside Laotian general Vang Pao in an effort to help make Laos the world's largest exporter of heroin. The CIA then flew drugs all over SEA, allowing the Golden Triangle (parts of Burma, Thailand, and Laos) to become the world hub for heroin.
Agents from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs managed to seize an Air America aircraft that contained large amounts of heroin, but the CIA ordered the agents to release the plane and halt any further investigations.
The CIA wasn't just involved with the transportation of the drugs, however. The heroin was refined in a laboratory built at the CIA headquarters in Northern Laos. After about a decade of U.S. military intervention, SEA represented 70% of the world's opium supplier. Unfortunately, many of the operatives became addicted to the heroin themselves. At the same time, SEA also became the main supplier of raw materials for the U.S. heroin industry. Though Air America apparently stopped operations in 1976, the CIA's involvement in the opium and heroin industries continued in other parts of the world.
This is where the History Channel's explanation of the CIA's role in the heroin industry got a little blurry. Thus far, the series had been fairly transparent in its explanation of Air America and the CIA's operations in Laos, but when it came to the next world leader of heroin, Afghanistan, the series sort of fell short. Yes, it did address the war on terror and how the opium trade only increased since the U.S. government invaded Afghanistan, but it didn't discuss the why.
This is where the opium trade involves false-flag terrorism, specifically 9/11, so it's no surprise that the History Channel didn't discuss the truth behind 9/11 and how that related to the war on drugs. It's interesting because it did discuss the war on terror and how it intertwined with the war on drugs, almost encouraging viewers to look deeper into the motives that the U.S. government had for 9/11.
Let's start with a brief history of the opium production and trade in Afghanistan. In the 1980s, CIA-supported Moujahedeen rebels were heavily involved in drug trafficking heroin. The CIA supplied trucks and mules, which were used to transport opium. In addition, many of the individuals trafficking the drugs in Afghanistan were actually trained, armed, and funded by the CIA at the time.
Opium production came to a gradual halt thanks to Taliban rule. By 2000, the Taliban had completely banned opium production, practically eradicating 90% of the world's heroin. The following UN diagram outlines the history of opium production in Afghanistan:
After 9/11 occurred and the U.S. invaded Afghanistan, opium production suddenly skyrocketed. There have been tons of photos of U.S. soldiers guarding the opium fields, yet today, more than a decade later, they still have not destroyed them (view some of the photos here). The CIA is no stranger to drug trafficking, so it's possible they saw this as an opportunity to commit a false flag terrorist attack (9/11) in order to justify the invasion of Afghanistan so they could take over the opium drug trade. The motive would make sense, as the American war on drugs was still raging in 2001.
To read more about the 9/11 link to the opium trade and the CIA's involvement in the heroin industry, read this CE article I wrote here.
What Was Left Out Regarding Corporate Involvement?
By the fourth and final episode of the docu-series, the show discussed Big Pharma's involvement with fuelling the war on drugs. It was actually refreshing to see the History Channel paint a picture of Big Pharma in a more accurate light than what we often see on American television. The series referred to pharmaceutical drugs as the "elephant in the room" that's "silently killing" thousands of Americans.
In case you didn't know, prescription drugs are the 4th leading cause of death in America, as stated by Harvard University. Many Americans are completely unaware that new prescription drugs have a 1 in 5 chance of causing serious reactions, even after being approved by the FDA. Approximately 1.9 million people are hospitalized annually due to properly prescribed medication (not including any overdoses, self-prescriptions, or mis-prescribing) and 128,000 people die every year in the U.S. from drugs prescribed to them.
Doctors are paid by Big Pharma to prescribe drugs (and you can actually see how much your personal doctor makes here), Big Pharma heavily lobbies the government, and the U.S. is one of the only countries that's allowed to advertise for pharmaceutical drugs. Countless issues surrounding misinformation and propaganda through these advertisements have arisen, yet the U.S. government allows this to occur and rarely steps in. All of these actions taken by Big Pharma are motivated by profit and have directly contributed to the war on drugs, as these companies secretly drug more and more Americans.
The docu-series expressed many of these issues in the documentary, but didn't necessarily highlight the true gravity of the situation as they mostly focused on the overly prescribed oxycodone/opium epidemic. Big Pharma is not looking to heal you, but rather profit off you. It makes sense that these drugs have adverse side effects, because they benefit from your illnesses. It's not just opiates, it's practically all drugs, even those that are prescribed to children (read more about that here).
However, Big Pharma isn't the only industry that profited off the war on drugs. Many corporations reap the benefits from the privatization of prisons, particularly thanks to ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council), a private special interests group of politicians and corporations. ALEC often plays a significant role in influencing, and in some cases even writing, laws.
Some of the legislation ALEC helped develop supports harsher and longer prison sentences as well as the privatization of prisons. It's important to note that one of the organizations that funds ALEC is Corrections Corporations of America (CCA), which means that the more bodies that are in prisons, the more CCA profits, and thus the more money ALEC gets.
The American Bail Coalition (ABC), an organization that profits from the privatization of bail, also holds close ties to ALEC. ABC was one of the few corporations that actually stayed with ALEC after their involvement in creating the Stand Your Ground law in Florida came to the spotlight. This law was particularly controversial because it essentially allowed George Zimmerman to get away with stalking and murdering a black teenager, Trayvon Martin.
The entire U.S. prison industrial complex is a money-making machine, producing a grand total of $80 billion per year. Many corporations also profit from prison labour, which could reasonably be considered slave labour in North America, as some prisoners are paid as little as 12 cents an hour for their services. Examples of corporations that "employ" prisoners and pay them practically nothing include Victoria's Secret and Walmart.
ALEC and the corporations that profit off the prison system were never mentioned in the History Channel's docu-series, despite being directly correlated to the war on drugs. You can read more about ALEC here.
All in all, the History Channel's America's War on Drugs is a great place to start in your research of this propaganda campaign. They actually covered a lot of grounds for only a four-part series, and much of the content was probably honest enough to upset the powers that be.
However, it's interesting to note that the History Channel is owned by A&E, which is in turn owned by Disney. Disney is one of the six corporations that control over 90% of the media, and so the motive behind this type of transparency is questionable. This could be the government and the elite's way of informing the public of their past wrongdoings, maybe things just got so bad that they could no longer hide it from the public, or perhaps they're just giving viewers a drip of information in order to keep the truth at bay.
Either way, this is a step in the right direction and hopefully this docu-series and this article inspire people to look further into this subject!

Jeffrey Epstein's Case Raises Questions About Royal Family Pedophilia & Elite Ritualistic Abuse of Children
Arjun Walia
The recent case against Jeffrey Epstein, who is being charged with child sex trafficking, has opened up the idea that 'higher powers' like the Royal Family might be involved in this type of thing, along with other political "VIPs."
Reflect On:
Is this really a surprise? If we look at our world and our 'leaders,' our actions are truly a reflection of their psychopathic behaviour. The involvement of high ranking people in ritual sex abuse, if you think about it, shouldn't be a surprise.
Child sex abuse among the global elite is extremely rampant. This no doubt makes those who aren't really aware of it wonder: Why is this not more well-known? Well, the answer to that is simple, it's the same reason why so many other 'happenings' on planet Earth go virtually unknown, and that's because we have been relying on a small group of very powerful and wealthy people and the corporations they run for information about what is happening on our planet. We are constantly being spoon-fed lies by mainstream media. There are a number of examples to choose from, and multiple award-winning mainstream media journalists have been blowing the whistle with regards to what really goes on behind the scenes for years. All information that comes from mainstream media is given to them in the form of instructions from big corporations, government, and intelligence agencies. This is evident by documents that've been released via the Freedom of Information Act as well.
Furthermore, media outlets providing access to alternative information using credible sources that go against the narrative and interests of these big corporations and the government have been completely censored and demonetized.
Information like what's discussed in this article has been made out to be a 'conspiracy theory' by the mainstream, but it's now becoming so obvious that the mainstream has no choice but to start reporting on it.
The latest example is the case of Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire who has close connections to the Clintons and people like Prince Andrew of the Royal Family. He is a registered sex offender, and apart from that, a number of his victims have come forward over the years claiming that he abused them, many of whom are under age. One example is Virginia Roberts Giuffre, pictured here with Prince Andrew. She claims that she was loaned out by Epstein to people like Prince Andrew as a young teenager.
The latest news regarding Epstein was that he was arrested and taken into federal custody for the sex trafficking of children. Specifically, it deals with the sex trafficking of minors in both New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005. He is expected to appear in court tomorrow. The arrest was made by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force, and it comes almost 12 years after Epstein didn't receive any penalty except a slap on the wrist for supposedly molesting and raping children in Florida.
Here is the information coming from a Miami Herald article titled 'With Jeffrey Epstein locked up, these are nervous times for his friends, enablers':
Jeffrey Epstein, 66, was arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey shortly before 4 p.m. Saturday, July 6th as he arrived on his private jet from Paris.
It should be noted that the Department of Justice has said that it is not rescinding the plea deal Jeffrey Epstein got in his previous conviction even though it has been determined to have been illegal.
Although details of the case remain undisclosed, there are indications that others involved in his crimes could be charged or named as cooperating witnesses.
The fact that others involved in his crimes could be charged is quite significant, since it indicates that law enforcement and the judiciary are not shying away from proving a CONSPIRACY in this case. This is quite different from his earlier conviction in Florida in 2008, which was 'soliciting an underage girl for prostitution.'
According to the Daily Beast:
Several of the billionaire's employees and associates allegedly recruited the girls for Epstein's abuse, and some victims eventually became recruiters themselves, according to law enforcement. The girls were as young as 14, and Epstein knew they were underage, according to details of the arrest and indictment shared by two officials.
Why are these people always connected to and have close relationships with the global elite? What's even more eye-opening is that this is not the only example that's leaked into the mainstream. It's become impossible for the world to ignore as of late. For exmaple, Smallville actress Allison Mack was 'outed' for being a member of a sex cult and working in a management capacity. Apparently, Mack's job was to lure women into the program under the false pretence of female empowerment and self-help workshops. They were then convinced to sign up for a more "advanced program" called Dominus Obsequious Sororium, which required these women to basically turn their lives over to the leader, Keith Raniere. Dominus Obsequious Sororium is a quasi-Latin phrase that roughly translates to "Master Over The Slave Women."
Raniere owns a company called NXIVM, which supposedly offers executive success programs, but clearly, that's not the case. Raniere was also arrested, along with Mack, in March 2018 in Mexico on charges of sex trafficking. He stands accused of raping girls as young as 12 years old, imprisoning a woman for 18 months, child pornography, and more. He has been kept in federal custody in New York, but has now been found guilty on all charges.
This group also has strange connections to the powerful elite, as Billionaire Clare Bronfman was indicted on racketeering charges. These charges were connected to her role as "Operations Director" for NXIVM. Clare Bronfman is the daughter of Charles Bronfman, a Canadian/American businessman and philanthropist. The Bronfman family has been referred to as the "The Rothschilds of the New World" by author Peter C. Newman, a well-known Canadian journalist and writer. The Bronfman family has also been in business with the Rothschild family for quite some time. One of many examples is their wealth management company, Bronfman Rothschild, which began in 1997 as Virchow Krause Wealth Management.
Bronfman's brother, Stephen, was one of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's biggest funders. Trudeau was also very close to Peter Danglish, a high-ranking UN sex-offender mentioned below. I mention this because I came across more strange ties to the Trudeau family, like the Pierre Elliott Trudeau foundation symbol, as you can see, is the same symbol used by pedophiles to identify sexual preference.
Just like with the Epstein case, the Clinton's are mentioned with regards to NXIVM as well.
The Rolling Stone reported:
"There are strange political connections as well. Mark Vicente, a documentary filmmaker and former high-ranking member of the group, testified at the trial of NXIVM head Keith Raniere that Clare Bronfman, the billionaire Seagram's heiress and alleged benefactor of the organization, approached him and a few other members of the group to help her make a contribution to a Clinton campaign." (source)
Pretty weird stuff, isn't it?
Let's not forget about Sir Jimmy Savile, a BBC children's television presenter feted by the Royal Family and Downing Street, abused 450 victims, mostly boys and girls as young as eight over 50 years. While Savile had long been seen as odd, the scale of his offenses shocked the country. He was even allowed special access to hospitals, and the authorities laughed at or ignored his victims before he died a national hero. He was very close with the Royal Family.
This kind of thing has been floating around out there for decades. For example, a member of the Royal family was claimed to be part of a suspected pedophile ring under investigation by the police in the late 1980s, a former police officer has said. The former Metropolitan Police officer said he was told by a detective sergeant that the investigation into the ring, which was also claimed to include an MP, was shut down for national security reasons. "I was in a car with two other vice squad officers … The detective sergeant said he had just had a major child abuse investigation shut down by the CPS regarding a royal and an MP," he told the Sunday Mirror newspaper. "He did not mention names, but he said the CPS had said it was not in the public's interest because it 'could destabilise national security'."
We even have whistleblowers when it comes to this issue, like Steve Pieczenik, a former United States Department of State official and a Harvard trained psychiatrist with a doctorate in international relations from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He's been openly talking about this type of thing in elitist circles. You can view an example of him talking about the Clintons here. Here's another one of him implicating Bush Sr.
Peter McKelvie, a former child protection chief in the UK, gained attention when he claimed that senior politicians, military figures and even people linked to the Royal Family were among the alleged abusers. While working in Hereford and Worcester, he helped to convict notorious child abuser Peter Righton, who was once one of the country's most respected authorities on child care. This highlights a great point, and something that I've come across multiple times in my research. Many people who work for national child care protection programs are directly involved in this type of thing. McKelvie is one of many who told the world that these types of powerful VIP pedophile rings have been running in secrecy for multiple years. (source)
The same types of scandals take place here on our side of the pond as well.
Congress is now looking at a bipartisan bill to stop employees from sharing child porn on Department of Defense computers. Yes, it's a real problem, which begs the questions: Where are these kids coming from? Who is making these kids 'perform,' who is filming them, and where are these high-ranking people getting this from?
"The notion that the Department of Defense's network and Pentagon-issued computers may be used to view, create, or circulate such horrifying images is a shameful disgrace, and one we must fight head on." – Abigail Spanberger (D-Virginia), spoken in a statement as she and co-sponsor Mark Meadows (R-N. Carolina) introduced the End National Defense Network Abuse (END Network Abuse) Act in the House.
As The Hill reports, "The Pentagon's Defense Criminal Investigative Service subsequently identified hundreds of DOD-affiliated individuals as suspects involved in accessing child pornography, several of whom used government devices to use and share the images."
You can read more about that and see some more disturbing connections between high ranking powerful people and this type of activity here.
It doesn't stop there, and it goes all the way up into the Vatican.
What I've Discovered From My Research: This Is Ritualistic In Nature
It was only a few years ago when the information cited above was considered a conspiracy theory, but we here at Collective Evolution were creating awareness about it in a credible way. Based on our research, this doesn't just involve the rape and trafficking of children. It also involves murder and ritualistic satanic abuse of children who are used for various ceremonies, sacrifices and rituals. In some cases, it even deals with cannibalism.
The term "ritual" hasn't been mentioned in the mainstream. On November 12, 2012 the former Prime Minister of Australia, Julia Gillard, set into motion a Royal Commission to inquire into institutional responses to child abuse. Five years later, in December 2017, the Royal Commission presented its final report to the government, an absolutely damning indictment against institutions that dealt with children, including the Catholic Church. As a result, the current Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, delivered a public apology on October 22, 2018. You can read more about that story here.
"The crimes of ritual sexual abuse happened in schools, churches, youth groups, scout troops, orphanages, foster homes, sporting clubs, group homes, charities, and in family homes as well." Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison
Our Interview With A Survivor
Anneke Lucas is an author, speaker, advocate for child sex trafficking victims, founder of the non-profit organization Liberation Prison Yoga, and creator of the Unconditional Model.
Her work is based off her 30-year journey to restore her mental and physical wellbeing after surviving some of the worst atrocities known to humankind before the age of 12. Sold as a young child into a murderous pedophile network by her family, she was rescued after nearly six years of abuse and torture.
We recently conducted an interview with her. Below is a clip from the four part series, as it was a very long and detailed interview. You can access the full interview HERE on CETV, a platform we created to help combat internet censorship and allow us to continue to do our work and get the word out about various issues and topics.
There is so much evidence showing that the global financial elite (various members of big politics, corporations, hollywood, Royal Families, and people in positions of great power, the Vatican, etc.) are engaged in psychopathic behaviour. But are you really surprised? Look at the world and its systems and all aspects that surround humanity… It's truly a reflection of psychopathic 'leaders.' And it's a reflection of us being totally oblivious to it as a result of mass brainwashing. Still, in many cases, we support and stand up for these systems, and accept no other way. We refuse to acknowledge things that any fairly intelligent person should be able to see with a bit of investigation.
If you watch the Anneke interview, you will see how there is a very positive and uplifting message that comes out of all of this, despite the disheartening subject matter. Human trafficking and child abuse represent the most untold stories of our generation, as they hurt millions of souls every year, many of them being children. The International Tribunal For Natural Justice (ITFNJ) is one of many organizations to bring awareness to child sex trafficking. You can read more about that here, especially if you are feeling hopeless about this issue.
We are slowly coming to terms with the fact that this happens at elite levels, done by some of the most 'prominent' and powerful people. It's time to talk about it, and it's time to ask more questions. Let's keep disclosure coming.
Why I Haven't Paid Much Attention To "Q Anon"
We are living in some very interesting times. Amidst all of the mass brainwashing we've received from establishment mouthpieces (mainstream media), the birth of alternative media brought to light information that simply wasn't being presented by the mainstream media. Prior to the mass popularity that alternative media garnered, global media was completely owned by a handful of corporations. It still remains a vital tool for this small group of powerful people to completely control the perception of millions of people across the world.
The owners of these outlets did not like how their viewers were wandering off to alternative media, so they've used their power to create massive amounts of censorship, but the truth can't really be stopped. This is why we've seen the persecution of Wikileaks, for example, and the demonization of alternative media outlets simply because their beliefs don't fit the accepted framework of knowledge. Alternative media outlets have been demonetized and censored, and multiple award-winning mainstream media journalists have called out mainstream media and how these networks are slaves to their masters–their masters being big corporations, governments, and intelligence agencies.
Truth doesn't come from mainstream media, so it's no mystery why millions have flocked to other sources of information that provide evidence instead of a news anchor simply talking, since these networks do nothing but push propaganda and put out false information.
Our world is and has been experiencing a shift in consciousness for a very long time, and a big reason the global elite started to deem certain information and credible sources as 'fake news' and subject them to extreme amounts of censorship was simply due to the fact that this type of information is extremely threatening to several corporate, political and elitists agendas, so much so that freedom of information and speech continues to be censored.
In the midst of all this, along came "Q Anon." For reasons I am completely unaware of, I never took an interest in Q Anon, and still haven't. Perhaps it was the predictions being made that didn't come to light, although many did, or perhaps it's the fact that it could be anyone speaking. Nevertheless, I simply don't know why I never took an interest.
The thought crossed my mind that collective consciousness has shifted so much, and so many people have awakened to so many different things, that the only way to capture and deceive this segment of people, who represent the majority in my opinion, would be to develop a character like Q. I don't really believe this, it was just a thought that crossed my mind.
The thought also crossed my mind that Q could be legit, given the fact that they've put out information and predictions that have come to light. Q has a good track record for that and appears to be a team of people who are in or have access to the "inside." In this sense, Q seems very legit at times.
Furthermore, Q could represent Donald Trump and another faction of the 'Deep State.' I believe there are governments within governments, and they are constantly fighting for power, but always remain at the top. This is evident by the fact that all presidents and politicians always followed the will of their masters, they've all had ties and close relationships with corporations and the elite and made policies that benefited certain corporate interests and elitist agendas.
What turns me away from Q is its religious-like following. What Q preaches is never questioned by them, and a lot of information and claims are put out there simply based on nothing. Q is not really needed, there are more than enough whistleblowers, documentation, etc. to really seek out the truth and present it in a credible way that will reach the masses.
That being said, Q has no doubt been an awakening trigger forcing and encouraging people to think for themselves, connect the dots, and do their own research.
Trump is also not questioned by many and is seen as a saviour in some cases. People are giving away their own critical thinking, they're giving away their own brain to another entity without questioning it. Regardless of whether or not Q is legit, or represents another side of the 'deep state' or not, this is dangerous.
There have also been some shady claims, just as there have been some legit claims made by Q. One of them was when Q claimed the arrest of Julian Assange was to free him from his poor conditions, and that we should simply just "trust the plan." This was far from the truth, and this is one of multiple examples that raised red flags about Q in my mind. At the same time, there are many things Q has put out that have been credible and that suggest Q is part of or has deep connections to the inside.
I don't think that this is a larper… This is way beyond, this is someone who is, I don't think it's possible to say the things that Q has been saying without being a true insider. So it's someone that is real, it's someone that truly believes that Trump is working against the deep state for the good of the American people, that's their perspective. The real question is how accurate are they, and I don't really have an answer to that. – Richard Dolan (source)
When it comes to Trump, it's quite clear and easy to see, in my opinion, that he represented a disturbance to some very powerful elite that use people like Hillary Clinton to represent them. Trump represented, and still does in many ways, an 'outsider.' Looking at politics with no opinion or bias and without a "republican" or "democrat" point of view, it's easy to see how, during Trump's campaign, the powerful elite did everything possible to ensure a victory for Clinton. This included not only swaying the Democratic party (which previously played dirty pool against Bernie Sanders), but the entire mainstream media machine, the financial community, the EU, and even the Republican party itself.
Since Trump's campaign, we have been told that Trump is a racist, sexist, xenophobe, liar, cheat, and narcissist. It's reminiscent of the concerted media attack against Brazil's Dilma Rousseff, which culminated earlier in 2016 in her impeachment and removal from power. It's important to understand why Trump is demonized, and that's because he is a disruptor, and his disruption falls squarely against the two key pillars of the American ruling elite's ideology: neoliberalism and neoconservatism.
During Trump's campaign, he was quite vocal about pharmaceutical corruption, the US government funding terrorist organizations, vaccine safety, and he even called out Bill Clinton and his relationship to Jeffrey Epstein. Now, in some instances, he seems to have changed his views on a few matters, which goes to show that he could have been compromised by the deep state, or the other side of the deep state, if you will.
"So a person is elected, he comes with his ideas. Then people with briefcases come to visit him, well dressed, in dark suits, kind of like mine. Except instead of a red tie it's black or navy. And then they explain what to do, and the whole rhetoric changes, you see? This happens from one administration to the next." – Vladimir Putin, providing one of many examples of politicians around the world and within the US speaking up about this hidden power that controls the presidency. (source)
I'd like to leave you with this thought-provoking quote from Catherine Austin Fitts, former Commissioner of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, who recently said:
"In the Red Button Problem, everybody wants their check and they want to pretend that they are good. So it's very important that politicians come up with this story of 'good'. The story of 'I'm good,' doesn't have to make sense, but it has to be good enough so that I can just take my check and feel good and not have to do anything. It's a way of being free to stay on my couch and do the things that I love instead of being bothered with the responsibility of being a citizen."
So Q is the new story of, 'I am good,' because, 'I can just trust the plan, and these covert operators are going to get their thing done.' So I've been nice because I know some very intelligent, capable people who buy this whole thing hook, line, and sinker. It has been really frustrating for you and me. I took FASAB 56 to these Q believers, and they said, 'You need to trust the plan.'"
It appears that people are becoming too engaged with the Q narrative that it is blinding them from the truth of what Q is actually representing. Instead of viewing Q as right or wrong, what steps does it represent in our awakening process? Is the narrative truly creating a world where humanity thrives? Or is it perhaps only taking us a step forward, if at all?
We can't let Q do all thinking, we must continue to do what got is here in the first place, that's think for ourselves. It's ok to peak and take a look at Q, but to hang on to and live and die by everything Q says, and to constantly push the idea that whatever Q says is correct is a little troublesome to me.

Couple Builds A Stunning Tiny Home & Escapes City Life (Video)
One of the recent episodes on "Living Big In A Tiny House" featured a former full time writer here at Collective Evolution, Jeff Roberts, and his partner Derek. What they've built is amazing and will no doubt inspire many to do the same.
The tiny home trend has and is increasing in popularity, why do you think people are finding that it increases their quality of life?
Tiny Homes have been a growing trend for a number of years for multiple reasons. It's definitely more affordable to buy or to build a tiny home compared to living in a modern day home. It's also much more environmentally friendly, and perhaps the best part is that it's mobile. It must really make those who live in one realize that a full sized home and all of the troubles that can come with it are unnecessary, and that living in a tiny home doesn't decrease the enjoyment of your home and instead, probably increases it. Perhaps the best part about living in a tiny home is that they are mobile, you are not 'stuck' in one spot and can relocate with low cost and ease when ever you choose to do so compared to a regular home and going through the process of finding a new one.
Obviously, there are many examples of tiny homes floating around out there, but the story about the one below is special because one of the gentleman you see in the video below, Jeff Roberts, is a former full time writer here at Collective Evolution and a friend, he still contributes every now and then with regards to providing us with content.
If you're interested, you can read his articles here.
For Jeff and his partner Derek, the tiny house build started out as a fun design project with the idea of parking the house in the driveway of their Victoria, BC home and renting it out as an Air BnB. Eventually, they fell in love with it and decided to move in and rent out their larger home instead. The feature was done by "Living Big In A Tiny House." You can access their Youtube channel here to see some more examples of people living in tiny homes

Let the best performers "survive"
And pit your new population against the fitness function again, repeating the cycle until, hopefully, you reach a satisfactory solution.
It's a neat idea, in theory at least, but it's a bit tough to apply it without departing from your language of choice. Genetic programs are best created using tree structures, and so unless you want to switch to a LISP-style language, there are some hoops to jump.
In my case, I wanted to see how easy or difficult would it be to play with genetic programs in Python. Luckily there is a pretty good package for Python evolutionary algorithms, DEAP, which makes heavy use of Python functool's partials, and I decided to tinker with it during a couple of our lab days at Limbic. I wanted to make something just a step more complicated than DEAP's implementation of the Artificial Ant problem, and my mind went to Robot Turtles, a boardgame inspired by the classic Turtle program that I had been playing with my daughter.
In Robot Turtles, kids play cards to move their turtle around the board, trying to reach a gem. There are several kinds of obstacles: towers, pushable boxes, blocks of ice that you can melt with a blaster gun. The first thing that is interesting about it as a pedagogical game is that though the kids play the cards, a grownup, acting as the computer, is the one actually moving the turtles. They don't always move in the direction the player wanted or expected (though they always move in the direction the player ordered them to move) and helping kids figure out why and what to do about it is what you're after. Later, as these first lessons are better understood, you can move towards other goals: having kids give you sequences of cards instead of playing one card at a time, reducing the number of cards they can use to reach their gems, and using "functions" to help reduce the numbers of cards they use.
I did not set out to replicate the game entirely, but merely its obstacles, the turtle's goal, and the means to achieve it. This was pretty fun. The two main challenges were to come up with good ways to give the turtles a "sense" of their surroundings, and to have a fitness function that would help them reach their gems more efficiently.
In the end, my simulated turtles could "play" the same cards as in the game (move forward, turn left, turn right, shoot blasters), and they could also find their current distance to the gem, know if the gem is ahead of them, and a few other things (all the code is available here). As for the fitness function, I settled on a combination of reaching the gem (the greatest factor), number of moves to get there (lower is better), and distance to the gem in the end (lower is better; for the common case where a turtle never reaches its goal).
...or puzzling in more complex ones.
There was a big gotcha in this implementation: since the execution of the genetic code is performed recursively, our Python implementation is constrained by the size of the function stack. For complicated scenarios, some generated programs would easily go beyond this size, causing the execution to blow up. This turns out to be a common problem in genetic programming, and there are standard ways to address it, but I did not need to implement them for my toy examples.
I enjoyed playing with DEAP and genetic programming quite a bit, as if I was watching monkeys trying to reproduce the works of Shakespeare by random typing, though I am torn about its overall approach to problem-solving: it is often inefficient, it has zero guarantees of reaching an optimal solution, and it is heavily dependent on giving the code the right tools to navigate through the problem, which involves reasoning about the problem to such an extent that it may often make more sense to just code the solution yourself, rather than have an army of bumbling mutants find it for you. Its application may not be useful yet beyond some niches, but when the setting is right, it's a beautiful thing to watch. Again, the code is all available on GitHub if you want to follow along.

    }

    System.out.println(appendPosSum(newC));

    int azure = 0;
    ArrayList<Integer> newC = new ArrayList<Integer>();

      if(list.get(i) > 0) {
        newC = list.get(i);
        azure += list.get(i);
      }
    }
    return azure;
    return newC;

}

A: Recommended: Create an Instance of the Class:
You can create an instance of the other class in the Main class with the code below:
other root = new other();

Make sure the class name is correct. For example, if the class is called Wonderful, the code should be:
Wonderful root = new Wonderful();

Thus, by referencing root, you are referencing the Wonderful class.
Otherwise: Inherit the Class: If you want to "connect" the classes and other is similar to Main, which is not likely, you could use inheritance. Inheritance is like a family tree, or Taxonomy: a class/object shares variables or methods with another class. For example, public class Programmer extends Human. In this example, the Programmer inherits all the characteristics of a Human, but it has its own characteristics as well. Therefore, if you wrote public class other extends Main, other would be an extension of Main with its own characteristics. Here's an example of inheritance:
public class Panda extends Animal{
    public Panda() {
        super("Panda");
        System.out.println("Panda0");
    }

    public Panda(String name) {
        System.out.println("Panda1");
    }

    public String getName() {
        System.out.println("Panda: getName");
        return "Panda: "+ super.getName();
    }

    public String toString() {
        System.out.println("Panda: toString");
        return getName();
    }
}

Note that super is used to reference the method in the "parent" or extended class, so since you have two main methods, if you are using inheritance, other's main will be main() and the Main class main will be super.main().

A: Thanks for the tips! I eventually got it working so it now looks like this:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("Enter the length of your ArrayList: ");
    int black = scan.nextInt();

    Scanner scan2 = new Scanner(System.in);
    ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();

    System.out.println("Enter numbers: ");
    for(int i = 0; i < black; i++) {
        list.add(scan.nextInt());
    }

    System.out.println(appendPosSum(list));

    }

    public static ArrayList<Integer> appendPosSum (ArrayList<Integer> list){
        ArrayList<Integer> newList = new ArrayList<>();
        int sum = 0;
        for(int num : list) {
            if(num > 0) {
                newList.add(num);
                sum += num;
            }
        }
        newList.add(sum);
        return newList;
    }

}

Dinosaur Tracks Vandalised
Dinosaur Tracks Vandalised – Plaster Casts Attempted
We have picked up a number of reports from the United States that several dinosaur tracks have been vandalised at the Manti-La Sal National Forest, a national park managed by the United States Forestry Service. Manti-La Sal National Forest straddles the State border between Utah and Colorado and a number of important vertebrate fossils including dinosaur bones and tracks are located within the 1.4 million acre park. It is illegal to collect or make duplicates of any vertebrate fossils, including trace fossils from lands managed by the U.S. Forestry Service without the correct permits. Permits are normally only issued to qualified palaeontologists and those parties involved in federally approved research.
A spokesperson from the Manti-La Sal National Forest, explained that three-toed dinosaur tracks in the Moab (Utah), area had been vandalised and a number of suspects identified. As we at Everything Dinosaur understand the situation, no arrests have been made yet.
Tracks Filled with Plaster in an Attempt to Create Moulds
Dinosaur footprint vandalised.
This part of Utah is famous for its amazing dinosaur fossils. Sadly, Everything Dinosaur team members have reported on numerous occasions deliberate damage being caused to fossil sites, or the theft of dinosaur bones and tracks. With private collectors prepared to pay large sums of money for dinosaur fossils, there is a big black market in illegally acquired artefacts. Last year we reported on the theft of a dinosaur footprint from a Bureau of Land Management managed site, not too far away from this incident. A local man (Jared Ehlers) was arrested and sentenced to six months house arrest, fined and given an additional one year probation sentence. Mr Ehlers claimed he had stolen the footprint as he wanted to make a coffee table out of it. The stolen footprint has not been recovered.
In this latest incident, although no footprints were actually taken, the plaster poured into the footprint impressions will have caused some damage to these important trace fossils. The dinosaur tracks, probably made by a large, carnivore, have been preserved in hyporelief (depressions), such tracks are relatively rare and the Utah specimens are of exceptional quality, the consistency of the sediment at the time the dinosaur walked on it was just right to permit an accurate footprint impression to be created. Palaeontologists can use these footprints to explore Theropod locomotion by calculating the way the foot moves as it contacts and leaves the sediment surface. Although the plaster can be carefully removed and the footprints cleaned, subtle details related to the dinosaur's locomotion will be probably obliterated.
Everything Dinosaur would like to take this opportunity to advise readers that no collection permits for any type of fossil (plants, invertebrates, vertebrates or trace fossils), are issued by the U.S. Forestry Service for commercial purposes. The selling, trading or bartering of any fossil material from National Forest System Lands is strictly prohibited.

I want to raise my voice on the very famous KAMLESH, the drug-addicted kid who's viral all over the internet.
He is just 13 years old and his replies to the interviewer in the video gave us all a chance to create some memes and funny posts. The video was originally taken from an Indian documentary "Nashebaaz".
It is so shocking to see our society becoming so insensitive that we are making memes and laughing on a drug abused kid rather than feel pity.
Is that what humanity is? A kid's life is at stake and we are making memes out of it, how nice of us. We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin but we all belong to one human race.
I hope that after reading this you might think about "where we are going as a society" and if not then all I can say is, "May God Bless you and help you develop empathy".

SONSBEEK 9
DR: Tell me something about your engagement in Sonsbeek.
EÖ: When I first was invited to participate in Sonsbeek 9 - EÖ: this happened shortly after Jan saw my piece in Das Lied von der Erde show in the Fridericianum Kassel - the first thing that came to mind was the legacy of this tremendously influential Sonsbeek buiten de perken event which took place in 1971.(Which also. coincidentally, is the year in which I was born.) A huge tent was installed in Sonsbeek Park where you could savor the latest in film&video art, which at that time, was of course still in its infancy as an art form. I think that, along with Panamarenko Aeromodeller and the conference hall, this was one of the strong points of the '71 exhibition; already there was a certain element of tension in the way the public and the private interfered each other...
DR: ...Which in turn has developed into a strong overall undercurrent in your work as a visual artist.
EÖ: I am very much intrigued with this dialectic of interior and exterior, private and public, both on an architectural level as in terms of sociology and psychology. Now although I no longer work - and never really worked - as an architect, my architectural training obviously informs a lot of what I do as a visual artist. I mean, you can just as well engage in the practice of architecture by means of images, by taking recurrence to behavioral patterns. And anyway I don't believe it's very fruitful to keep on thinking in terms of art and architecture - I don't think there's much of a rigid border there, at least not since Heidegger's writings on that subject...But where was I?...
DR: We were discussing the thin line between private and the public, both in architectural terms as on a psychological level.
EÖ: Oh yeah. Well, I have this peculiar fascination for dark places - dark public places to be sure, meaning that they are dark to the point where they get instilled with a certain aura of privacy. Like the spaces around cash dispensing machines, for instance: they have a very private feel to them, yet still their overtly public in use and destination. And have you witnessed the size of those places? They are big enough to house a small party!...The dark corners of train stations, airports, transitory spaces of all sorts - these were the places I was looking for in terms of my first Sonsbeek proposal, which involved the installation of different upright , polished steel polls throughout the city of Arnhem. The pole you find in striptease bars and around which strip dancers wrap themselves. The idea of installing of these poles, which are intricately linked to a rather private, sexual experience, in a public space context first dawned on me when I was in New York. I thought about dancing round these columns that they are usually placed in front of buildings, like facade elements shielding the off the interior from the exterior. Of course there was also the smoothness, odd surface and tactility. Obviously people would, unconsciously or not, start touching these poles, and that would in turn trigger all kinds of memories and associations...It's really a hardcore installation, as I'd like to put it, meaning heavy duty installation art - something really physical and tactile. You have to feel these works with your hands as much as with your eyes... I mean, I just recently went to visit the factory where these poles are being made, started to polish one pole by hand - surrounded by a predominantly male labor force, I don't think I have to spell out the awkward ambiance of that moment - and it immediately got a really warm and glowing almost soft - like kind of quality. And you're telling me this work is reminiscent of the cold. abstract grid aesthetic of your average modernist installation?? Please!
DR: I never told anything of kind. But please continue. The poles eventually done away with, I gather - and some other ideas came up in turn.
EÖ: Well, at first Jan quite explicitly asked me to take the crypt (of the Eusebius church, ed.). Obviously this had to do with the more or less subtly sexual overtones underlying the space in question - like it or not, crypts have a distinctly erotic quality to them, and he probably thought this was just the place for me to make a proposal. I don't know maybe he thought a I could do a little Robert Gober routine or something [laughs]. Now, at first I didn't think too much about that idea - it gets kind of tiresome to live up to this stereotypical gender bias, you know...I first came to Arnhem in August, and instead of checking out the exhibition sites I preferred to get to know some other participating artist - now there's the real excitement in taking part in a show like this!! So when I eventually got to reconsider the project I saw there were a lot of elements in the crypt that harked back to reality of, say the park - I'd say they're both very much sexually connotated places, for one. And of course the crypt is a quite beautiful place in its own right - there's so much love and purity there, with little bits of ornament and vestiges of the past strewn all across, a whole string of architectural references... Also, the crypt space in fact looks like a landscape in itself.
DR: Or a dreamscape. Which makes for an altogether romantic environment.
EÖ: Well, for one, the LCD screen are really romantic things to me, technically speaking. You have to come closer to really see the image, so a certain element of intimacy invariably arises there. Moreover, the image also changes according to angle, to temperature and the like.., Certain materials have a potential for transformation depending on which angle you look at work, which I find very interesting, And what's more, here's also the interplay between transparency and opacity, which I find equally intriguing.
DR: In any case you settled for a dark place after all.
E.Ö: Even though I'm really afraid of the dark! And I don't walk under trees either, mind you...
Honestly, it really is a challenge for me to work in the dark: I just spent one hour in the crypt this morning and that proved to be quite sufficient, thank you. It is really a site, that's for sure. It's not a place at all. We talk about places, spaces, and sites all he time, when in fact these are hugely differing concepts. Take for instance the dialectic of place and space: a house is a space, whereas my home or your home, or my favorite room in a house definitely is a place. And again, to a decorator or a craftsman it is just another space, as it is defined as such in his treatment of the space. The same also goes for the concept of "installation": take any ordinary piece of kitchen equipment for instance - that's an installation pure and simple. By the way do you know that "installation" actually derives from a technical Latin term installatio, which in fact meant the installing of high officials in the Roman church hierarchy? Installing, as in "investing with an office or dignity by seating in a stall or official seat"...
DR: No I didn't know about that, thanks for sharing that piece of information. I find the reference to the kitchen equipment quite revealing, as the "semantics of the kitchen" prominently figure in some of your better-known works.
EÖ: Yes. It's just that I find it really strange to see how people, after years of hiding away their kitchen equipment and utensils in generic kitchen stuff in full view of the visitors, water outlets and the like...Of course this no longer has to do with installation - this is all about generating a certain ambiance...
DR: And again we bump into the dialectic of inner and outer space, a generic tension permeating all of our works to this date.
EÖ: That's because I think tension is a good thing. It makes you laugh, makes you cry, and, most importantly, in the end it makes you think. I'd love to be a more harmonic person, being really liquid in a way, but then again tension is always nice.
DR: Finally, there was in fact a third proposal you seem to have forgotten about, especially designed for the Sonnsbeek Park...

On Ebru Özseçen's work "Translucent Lucidity"
by Dieter Roelstraete & Ebru Özseçen

EÖ: Oh yeah, I nearly forgot to mention my Sonsbeek pavilion!! This was actually conceived of as a marble, sheets of glass& liquid crystal wall structure. A mobile living unit consisting of two corridors you could walk through, with video images being projected on either side of the wall in the middle of the pavilion. Of course there's an obvious reference to the Mies van der Rohe pavilion in Barcelona - I really like the idea of a pavilion as opposed to a mere house, which would be a rather pointless statement in a landscape park like Sonsbeek.

The First Duchess of Sussex.
Her Majesty the Queen has conferred on HRH Prince Henry of Wales the titles Duke of Sussex Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Killeen.
AFter the Wedding Meghan Markle will be known as HRH The Duchess of Sussex.
The First Duchees of Sussex
The title of Duke of Sussex was conferred upon Prince Augustus Frederick, the sixth son of King George III, on 24 November 1801. Prince Augustus Frederick married Lady Augusta Murray at St George's, Hanover Square, Westminster in 1793, and then Lady Cecilia Gore at Great Cumberland Place, London, on 2 May 1831. Both marriages were in contravention of the Royal Marriages Act 1772; thus the couple's children were illegitimate. Not being the Prince's legitimate wife, Lady Cecilia could not be received at court. She was eventually (on 30 March 1840) given the title of Duchess of Inverness in her own right by Queen Victoria. Since Augustus Frederick had…

A new book (and a video) on "Victimhood Culture"
I believe a reader recommended the book I highlight below, which I've just finished. It's written by two sociologists who take a sociological rather than a polemic approach to their topic, so that they analyze both Right- and Left-wing instances of victimhood. (As we all know, both Christians and conservatives often paint themselves as beleaguered victims.) In the end, though, the main topic is the pervasiveness of victimhood culture on college campuses, which means mostly the Left.
Campbell and Manning explain why campuses seem to have become the focus of this culture (I won't explain that here), and contrast it with two other forms of culture that have existed over history. One is "Honor Culture" (the culture of the Old South, some Muslim societies, and many street gangs), in which individuals are expected to be offended by insults and take matters into their own hands, meting out what they consider…
Victimhood culture and its alternatives
About five weeks ago I highlighted a new book by Bradley Campbell and Jason Manning, which you can buy (or see a preview) at the link below. It's by two sociologists, and although there may be a bit much academic sociology for the general reader, there are lots of references to back up their statements.
I thought the book worth reading because I firmly believe that much of intersectional and authoritarian Leftism is a form of solipsism rather than a call for social justice—a way of calling attention to yourself (there's nobody so demanding of empathy as a self-styled victim) to set you apart from others. That's not to say that there are no victims, for of course bigotry persists in this world, but it's hard to explain how those who are fully entitled and "privileged" nevertheless try to place themselves as high as possible on the victim hierarchy, and…
Which Titles for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?
The wedding of HRH Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been announced to take place in May at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
One of the biggest speculations concerning the marriage is what Peerage Title the couple will receive. It has become the tradition with Her Majesty, the Queen, to elevate a member of the Royal Family to the Peerage by granting them a title of Nobility on their wedding day. Prince Andrew was created Duke of York at his wedding, Prince Edward was created Earl of Wessex at his wedding, and Prince William was created Duke of Cambridge at his; therefore it is logical to assume Prince Harry will also be granted a Peerage Title on his wedding day.
But which one? The odds on favorite seems to be Duke of Sussex, followed by Duke of Clarence. There are also other options. The Dukedoms of Albany and Cumberland have…

An illustrated version of Mill's "On Liberty"
I hesitate to call this to your attention, because I think everybody who follows this website should read John Stuart Mill's On Liberty, which constitutes the best argument in print for free speech—including "hate speech". However, if you don't have the time or inclination, the Heterodox Academy has put out an illustrated version consisting solely of Chapter 2: the heart of Mill's argument.
Although you can buy it on Kindle or get an expensive hardcover version, you can also get a free downloadable 48-page pdf by clicking on the screenshot below:
As the HA page notes, "Editors Richard Reeves (a biographer of Mill) and Jon Haidt (a social psychologist) have written a brief introduction to link Mill and his time to the issues of our time, and
artist Dave Cicirelli has created 16 gorgeous original illustrations that amplify the power of Mill's metaphors and arguments.

Pope Francis Endorses Slower Growth and More Poverty
I almost feel guilty when I criticize the garbled economic thoughts of Pope Francis. After all, he was influenced by Peronist ideology as a youngster, so he was probably a lost cause from the beginning.
Moreover, Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell have already dissected his irrational ramblings on economics and explained that free markets are better for the poor. Especially when compared to government dependency.
But since Pope Francis just attacked tax havens, and I consider myself the world's foremost defender of these low-tax jurisdictions, I can't resist adding my two cents. Here's what the Wall Street Journal just reported about the Pope's ideological opposition to market-friendly tax systems.
The Vatican denounced the use of offshore tax havens… The document, which was released jointly by the Vatican's offices for Catholic doctrine and social justice, echoed past warnings by Pope Francis over the dangers of unbridled capitalism. …The teaching document, which was personally approved by…
