WEBVTT - False Prophet | 8 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:05.120 Thank Heaven for the dreamers. Over the past century. They 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:10.440 have gone against the grain, flouted convention, disputed accepted truths, 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.640 marched to their own drummer, and in the process set 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:19.479 new benchmarks for human achievement. One such dreamer is computer 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:24.840 system designer Alan Metcalf. He dared to dream the impossible. 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.840 Safe world will change the world because it'll enable, for 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.040 the first time for us to take the whole world 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.280 economy into cyberspace. 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.680 That was a commercial Allan and his teammate comparing himself 0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.479 to people like Martin Luther King and Neil Armstrong. So 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.360 Alan clearly had a high opinion of himself. In fact, 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:49.040 it's his god complex that may help me finally solve 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.559 the mystery that I've been trying to answer since the 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.680 start of this series. What happened to the forty nine 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.400 million dollars of other people's money which went missing after 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:03.520 Alan died. I'm running out of time. It's my last 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.920 chance to find the missing millions in the next hour, 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.480 because this is the final episode. Let's finish what we started. 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.120 My investigation has taken me into the depths of Allan's past. 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.880 I've looked into whether Saffold's was or ever could be viable. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:29.080 Then followed the money trail wherever it took me from 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:34.760 geraldon a sleepy town in country Australia to the billionaire's 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.360 playground of the Cayman Islands deep in the Caribbean Sea, 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.720 and of course explored whether he himself was really dead. 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.959 But there's one more possibility, and it's about to take 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:51.160 me into the world of national and international politics, from 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.760 Pauline Hansen to mega churches and Donald Trump, the former 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.440 US president who at the time we're making this might 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.960 very well will also be the next president of the 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:03.880 United States. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.040 I had a guy that was a CEO stealing from 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:14.680 my client, and he would steal money from my client, 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.480 put it in his bank account, and then he would 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:22.280 make donations to political parties. Now we have rules about 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:26.720 how much you can donate that are capped per individual, 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.639 but that's a whole other investigation is campaign financing. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.200 This is Leah Wheatolta, the ex FBI agent turned private 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:38.040 detective who gave me advice on how to follow a 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.960 money trail in episode six. Now Leah is telling me 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:47.560 this other ways people can funnel money through political donations. 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:50.000 Any donations if they're in the States, any donations, if 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.359 you know who they donated to, you can pull those 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:58.200 reports and like their public record with the state and 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.240 so then you can run those and you can see 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.600 wine item names and how much they donated. 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.280 Hang on. This is the first time I've considered this. 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.760 Up until this point, I've been focusing my efforts on 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.520 where the vanished money might have been stashed or what 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.480 Alan might have bought with it. But is it possible 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.280 the forty nine million dollars that hundreds of investors entrusted 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.840 to Alan might actually have been given away? I'm Alex 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.320 Turner Cohen, a finance and investigative reporter from news dot com. 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:35.559 Are you and you're listening to the Missing forty nine million? 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.520 This is the final episode False Profit. 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.320 I've been involved in a few not for profit groups 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.280 which are in the political space, which is sort of 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.280 how I have that initial connection to Alan. 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.840 This is Jaimar and Covids. We've briefly heard from him before. 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.200 He's a Safe Worlds investor who put ten thousand dollars 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.680 into the scheme. When I meet Ji in his Sydney office, 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.400 he helps me understand Alan's political views because he shares. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.800 Them our group is interested in preserving our status as 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.600 a constitutional monarchy. 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.680 So a bit of history. The British invaded Australia two 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.760 hundred years ago and today it still has the British monarch. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.120 Not everyone is happy about it. And back in nineteen 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.520 ninety nine there was a big push for Australia to 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:36.360 become a republic. There was a national referendum on the issue. 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:41.360 And Jai says his group, Australians for Constitutional Monarchy, campaign 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.119 to keep the royal family in power, and he says 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:45.800 this group was key to winning the debate. 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.640 So since then we've sort of kept that group together. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:54.280 There's been moments where people have still suggested change. There's 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.480 been nothing that's gained any meaningful traction, but that group 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.320 is still there to defend the status quo. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.080 Gai tells me. Alan was also a believer in the 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.800 status quo. In fact, according to a news article from 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.080 twenty fifteen, one of the main reasons Alan wanted to 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.120 get Safewold off the ground was to help what he 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.440 described as the prominently Christian middle class. Alan was able 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.880 to make quite an impression on Ji and his pro 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:20.839 monarchy group. 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:26.000 It was clear that his overlapping views was quite consistent 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.600 with what we believe. It sort of inspired us, I guess, 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.839 to have a bit of confidence in what he was proposing, 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.000 and I think initially that's probably what allowed us to 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.400 give him the time of day. And then from there 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.920 I think, you know, we sort of learned a bit 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.719 more about him as a person, but also about the platform. Ultimately, 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:49.240 obviously the platform disappointed that's unfortunate, but initially we were 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:50.200 interested to explore it. 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.440 Jai was convinced and put a small amount of cash 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.160 into Safe Worlds, but making money wasn't his main goal. 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.960 He saw the tech platform as a way to prom 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:01.880 his political ideals. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.440 My primary interest in it wasn't so much the return 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:10.080 on that investment, although I did definitely expect and hope 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.440 to see a return on it. More importantly, I wanted 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:15.919 to support the political objectives of the system. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.719 Jai had taken a gamble on Safe Worlds, and he 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.279 wasn't the only person in his group that got behind 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.359 the scheme. There was someone else in the picture, someone 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:26.520 who's kind of a big deal. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.760 So the two people who took the meeting with him 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:32.839 there was myself and David. 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:36.520 Flint, Professor David Flint is a well known conservative columnist 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.880 now well into his seventies. Flint's always been a big 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.320 supporter of Alan Metcalf and his wife Mary. He was 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.680 on their advisory board and went on to launch his 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.640 own Safeworld's TV channel on YouTube. The video looks quite 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.080 amateur and David has a shock of white hair and 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:53.440 a distinctive voice. 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.880 Hello, I'm David Flint. I'd like to tell you about 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.680 this program, Conversations with Conservatives. This is being broadcast in 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.880 audio and video via safe World's tvv. 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.240 David isn't just a commentator, though, he has real influence 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:14.200 in the real world. During the twenty seventeen national vote 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.760 on whether to legalize same sex marriage, Flint called on 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.440 people to vote no because he said it was unconstitutional. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.360 For those who don't know me, I'm a conservative. What 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.040 this means to me is that I believe, in the 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.560 immortal words of the American founding fathers, that all men 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.200 and women have been endowed by their creator with certain 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.000 unlienable rights. 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:43.560 Last year, Flint opposed Australia's Indigenous Voice to Parliament, which 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:48.040 was a referendum proposing an advisory body to represent Indigenous communities. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.240 In the end, the vote was majority. 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:50.400 No. 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.440 I don't believe in big government, big business, big unions 0:07:55.480 --> 0:08:01.120 will make anything that monopolizes opportunity and stifle the potential 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:07.480 of the petole. For me, Conservatives are the real conservationists. 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.360 It seems like Allan himself was a fan of David's, 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.240 so much so that he turned up on the Conversations 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.840 with Conservatives broadcasts. In this video, they discussed presidential nominee 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.280 Donald Trump ahead of the twenty sixteen election. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.800 It'd have to be the most fascinating election that we've 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:28.920 seen in a long time, would you agree? 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.680 I would, And if you read the and listen to 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:37.839 the mainstream media, you'd think the big issue was these 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.840 large number of ladies who are coming forward just before 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.400 the actual election. They were silent beforehand. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.360 Now, how world is it? Hangs on this that this 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:55.640 one problem that men actually like ladies. 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.120 I contact David to ask him about Alan and I 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.000 Learne invested some money in Safeworlds. But he doesn't have 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.920 any hard feelings about what's happened. There's no guarantee in 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.800 these things. It would be foolish to believe that there is, 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.360 he tells me over a phone Call. David says he 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.520 started the Safeworld's broadcasts to give voice to conservatives who 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.480 he believes are no longer represented by the mainstream media, 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.280 and while only a few hundred people watched his videos, 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.200 he pulled in some big names. David managed to get 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.559 Family First Senator Bob Day on the program. Part of 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:35.199 a Christian right group loosely associated with the Pentecostal Church, 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:40.600 Bob Day is a climate change denier. Christian Democratic Party 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.720 leader Fred Nile was also a special guest on Safeworld's 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:48.360 Conversations with Conservatives. Fred Nile is opposed to abortion and 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:53.000 once said homosexuality was a mental disorder. Another guest was 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:57.360 Australia's richest person, Gene and Reinhart in August twenty sixteen. 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:02.200 And our special guest today is missus gim Reinhart speaking 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.600 to us from Rio de Janeiro from the Olympic Games. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:10.120 Hello, missus Rehinhant, David, it's lovely to hear of you. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.120 So should I start with my Thatcher quotes? She said 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.880 the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.560 of other people's money. She also said, if you set 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.239 out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.880 on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.079 Gina Reinhardt inherited a mining empire from her dad, Lang Hancock, 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.600 a man who once said that all Indigenous Australians should 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.840 be sterilized. It isn't his daughter Gina's view, but she's 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:46.040 been criticized for never publicly condemning his opinion. She's also 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:50.199 slammed what she calls climate change propaganda and has repeatedly 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:54.280 called for tax cuts and help for business. Gina Rehinhart 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.079 never got back to me when I asked her about 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.720 her connection to Safe Worlds. Someone else who declined to 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.839 talk to me about their appearance on Safeworld's TV was 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:09.959 Australia's most controversial politician, Pauline Hansen. Among other controversial opinions, 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.240 Pauline has called for a ban on the burker and 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:18.280 claimed her lull certified food funds terrorism. In twenty sixteen, 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:22.040 the year of her Safeworld's TV appearance, she called for 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.040 an outright stop on Muslim immigration to Australia. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:30.480 David Islam is for fortunate to be a religiou, yet 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:36.240 many people who are Muslims themselves say it is a 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:40.720 political ideology now what I'm saying is we need to 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:45.040 have a royal commission or an inquiry into is it 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.679 truly a religion or is a political ideology? 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.080 To me, what she's saying there is ludicrous and offensive. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.120 But it was broadcast through Safeworld's TV. So did Alan 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.280 condone it and did he ben his investors' money on 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:06.720 its promotion? The answer is quite likely yes. I find 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.319 a picture of Allan's son, Clayton metcalf editing this Pauline 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.520 Hanson video at their Gold Coast studios. Safewood's also posted 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.360 on social media about a town hall Pauline Hanson was 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.280 hosting in the lead up to the twenty fifteen Queensland 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.640 state election. So Allan was using his business as time, 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.880 resources and money on this money I can only assume 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.480 came from his investors. When I contact Pauline, she tells 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.200 me her involvement with Alan and Safefood's TV was a 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.839 long time ago and she'd have nothing to add. I've 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.800 dug up photos which show Alan and Mary standing side 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.160 by side with the controversial politician, so they at least 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.760 met her. That gets me thinking about what Leah, the 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:53.040 former FBI agent told me about political donations. Could Allan 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.800 have donated to the One Nation Party? If so, did 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:05.720 he do this using his money or his investors? Going online, 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.840 I searched the federal and Queensland transparency registers on the 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:14.800 Australian Electoral Commission and I can't find anything. Only donations 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.680 over fifteen thousand dollars are publicly listed. So that's not 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.600 a definite no, It's just that there's no evidence, but 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:27.040 there is evidence of Allan's spending money on politics indirectly. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.960 I am currently in Baltimore. On Monday, we will be 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.679 in Philadelphia. I expect that we will be heading home 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.640 sometime during the week of December ten. 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.360 This is the AI program we've been using throughout the 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:46.240 series to recreate Alan's voice, reading out emails he's sent 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.480 while he was alive and which we've got hold of. 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:53.320 During this investigation, Alan was constantly traveling between Australia and 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.400 the US for business meetings and to run Safe World's 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.520 US office. In twenty twelve, Allan was in the for 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:08.319 most of the time, jetting to Washington, DC, California, Michigan, Minnesota, Maryland, Pennsylvania, 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:13.040 and Texas. Twenty twelve was also a presidential election year, 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.400 But back home in Australia, investors were growing concerned, like 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.880 Mike Brooke, the cybersecurity expert and blogger whose parents got 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.360 sucked into the scheme. Mike says, Alan was doing all 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.400 this traveling at a time when work on developing SAFELDS 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.560 itself seemed to have ground to a halt. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.200 It just doesn't make sense to have been able to 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.920 spend that much money when development stopped on the product. 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.560 The only place that could have been going was into 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.800 the travel, the worldwide travel that he was doing to 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.800 apparently sell his platform. Having this guy traveling around the 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.440 world trying to sell and build interest in this product, 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.920 That's not how you build interest in a product. You 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:58.160 have to be out with marketing and media. It just 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.280 seemed like it was a way to spend the last 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.400 years of your life actually out enjoying it. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.200 David Richardson is the Channel nine journalist from episode one 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.520 who came across Safeworld's TV a decade ago because his 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:13.320 mates were looking to invest. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.120 One of the things that bothered us certainly early on 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.520 in the piece was the number of times he was 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.720 flying back between America and Australia and American Australia, and 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.640 you know you could guarantee that he was flying. He 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.120 wasn't flying cattle class, so you know you're looking at 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.160 a fairly not cheap flights. I'd be sitting there with 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.960 my MD mates saying, what is he actually how much 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.960 money is he taking out of these investments, you know, 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.680 flying across the Pacific backwards and forwards and staying in 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.560 the hotels, And clearly he's not you know, he hasn't 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.800 lost any kilos, so he's clearly eating pretty well. So 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:51.440 I kept thinking to myself, there's money vanishing here for sure. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.240 Then there's Chris Lych. He's now retired in Perth, but 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.600 he used to work at a mind site near Geraldton 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.680 where he was introduced to Safe Worlds. Like hundreds of 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.400 others in Western Australia, Chris, his wife and son took 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.240 a leap of faith and invested twenty thousand dollars into 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:08.720 the scheme. 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.800 I would say a lot of it was probably spent 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.360 by Alan Big noting himself while he was jet setting 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:15.160 all over the world. 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.040 Chris is a former paramedic and nurse. He contacted me 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.800 through our tip inbox after the first few episodes of 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.040 this podcast went live. 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:27.200 The other, probably most obvious direction where the money could 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.880 have gone was the evangelical stuff and the promotion of 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.400 the GOP and the upcoming Trump candidacy. 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.160 Wait a minute, what's this got to do with Trump? 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.640 I ask him. Chris read all of Alan's emails to 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:44.080 shareholders closely, and he still remembers some of them because 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:45.960 they made alarm belt ring for him. 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.600 I got the impression the evangelical stuff started getting preached 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.760 a little bit more, and I thought, Oh, where's this 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:53.800 money going in? And I just sort no, I think 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.120 this has going down some kind of an evangelical, ultra 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.560 far right wing sort of slot, and I didn't want 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.640 anything to do with it. And that really really sort 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.760 of started making me question, what the hell have I 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:06.640 gotten into here. 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.080 Chris's family stopped investing. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:12.280 We're definitely not conservative or right wing in any way. 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.560 We're more progressive. I suppose we don't believe in any of 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.000 the old conservative sort of politics at all, so we 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.760 would have probably run a mile from it. 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.200 So I go back to those old emails Allan sent 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.359 to his investors. This time I look for references to 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:31.720 US politics, and I find them. Alan was a devoted 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:36.080 follower of x US President Donald Trump. Here's Ai Allan 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:38.200 reading out one of these emails. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.800 The election of Donald Trump is good news for public 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:48.240 listing and IPO in America. Financial investment regulations have seriously 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.479 shackled businesses in the US and made stock market listing 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.680 less attractive under President Obama. 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:01.000 An IPO means initial public offering, which is financial jargon 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.199 for a company floating on the stock market. 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:08.600 I am therefore very bullish about the US economy in 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.600 the next twelve months. After that depends on what Trump 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:16.719 does in twenty seventeen. A lot can and should happen. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.560 Best wishes for a great twenty seventeen for us all 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:22.239 we have certainly earned it. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.439 Twenty seventeen was Trump's first year as US president, but 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.760 as we know, twenty seventeen was not a great year 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.040 for Alan. That was the year he died, and also 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:37.320 the year police raided Safe Worlds and the company got 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:41.280 in trouble from the Australian regulator. Just a month before 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.880 his death, though, Alan was still busy trying to make 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.159 his grand dreams for Safe Worlds a reality, and it 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.399 seems that Trump was part of how we hoped to 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:50.800 do that. 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:55.159 The purpose of this video is to advise key decision 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:59.880 makers in the Trump administration that I made the ESSENTI 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:05.320 shall break through discovery of how human intelligence and therefore 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:11.400 true AI works in nineteen ninety nine. If America embraces 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.439 this technology, the American dream of life, liberty, and the 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.280 pursuit of personal happiness can be given to the world 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.440 to enshrine the American dream forever. 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:28.520 This seems wildly ambitious and maybe egotistical, the idea that 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:32.159 this slightly crappy YouTube video would influence the White House 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:36.760 and bring happiness to the entire world. But being Allan, 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.160 he wasn't just going to sit idly by and hope 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:43.560 that Trump would stumble across his work. He was actively 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:47.159 trying to strike a deal. This is Ai Allan again, 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.320 reading out an email he's sent to investors in January 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:51.200 twenty seventeen. 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.480 We are talking with Phonoscope in Houston, Texas about a 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:59.760 joint approach to the Trump administration on privacy and security. 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.800 Phonoscope is a major telco company in Houston, one of 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.040 the biggest cities in Texas, which is a very Republican 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:10.880 US state, and the Republicans of the Party of Donald Trump. 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:15.560 We reached the basis of an agreement with Phonoscope. Basically, 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:20.280 the deal will involve Phonoscope becoming our super distributor for 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:25.560 the US. They will provide pre IPO and IPO funding assistance. 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.600 The big plus with our vision is that we are 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.080 now dealing with the owner. He now shares our vision. 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:37.280 Phonoscope and its chief exec Lee Cook, never answered my questions, 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:41.760 so I keep looking. Phonoscopes made a few minor political 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:46.080 donations to Texas Republican candidates over the years, and Lee 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.480 Cook has personally donated more than eighty five thousand into 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:53.680 Republican causes. I keep going back through Allen's emails and 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.440 uncover that Phonoscope had a relationship with Safeworlds going back 0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:58.320 five years. 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.720 Phonoscope is working with us to establish the Tea Party 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.439 Network in America. They have agreed to provide their large 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:10.040 meeting room that holds about sixty people for the inaugural 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.720 meeting of the Tea Party Network in Houston on January 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:15.800 twenty four, twenty thirteen. 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.440 Okay, this is big. The Tea Party were a hand 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:24.520 grenade thrown into US politics. Its name comes from one 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.520 of the sparks that lit the American War of Independence, 0:21:27.880 --> 0:21:32.119 where British rulers were overthrown. Bizarrely, that spark was a 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:36.160 protest against the laws on taxes. In seventeen seventy three, 0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:40.080 American patriots boarded British ships carrying tea and threw their 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:44.040 loads into Boston Harbor. The more modern Tea Party movement 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.640 spawned in two thousand and nine. They started and then 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:52.480 fueled the baseless racist conspiracy theory that Obama was secretly 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.680 a foreign born Muslim and therefore not allowed to be president. 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.639 Another memorable moment for the Tea Party was when one 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.439 of the and it's stay endorsed set in a debate 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:06.320 about abortion. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.399 has ways to shut that whole thing down, and the 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:11.200 Tea Party had an impact. 0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.760 It may be the biggest political movement in years, Thousands 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:17.760 upon thousands of Americans gathering in cities across the country, 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:21.000 inventing their anger and demanding change. It is, of course, 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.200 the Tea Party, and while it may be growing, it's 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:26.120 still not exactly clear who they are or what impact 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:27.720 they'll have on the midterm elections. 0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:30.440 Tea Party supporters were once considered to be on the 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:33.159 fringe of the Republican Party, but now the group may 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:36.280 be driving the force in the midterm elections. According to 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.720 a Bloomberg national poll, thirty three percent of likely voters 0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:40.920 are aligned with the Tea Party. 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:42.760 I think it's gonna be the best political story to 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:43.960 watch in the coming year. 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:46.320 There's a lot of energy and it's really. 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.840 Remarkable in some polls, I'm not sure you should trust them, 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:51.560 say more people identifying themselves as Tea Party people than 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:52.520 Republican issue. 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:54.440 The media got this one hundred percent wrong, right. 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:57.760 This is not miners versus Tea Party. The Tea Party 0:22:57.800 --> 0:23:00.720 has taken over the entire Republican Ay don't you agree? 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:05.119 And does that matter to this story? Well, yes, because 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:08.480 Alan Metcalf claimed he was there at the center of 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.919 it all, going to these Tea Party meetings along with 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:17.440 his technology. Alan told investors that Safefolds and Phonoscope. 0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:21.879 Would provide assistance to the American Tea Party network. Across America. 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:26.600 About fifty Tea Party groups have indicated their interest to 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:30.200 start building their community channels as soon as they get 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.359 the software. Some of the groups will lead us into 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:38.200 other groups. At this point, I believe we have most 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:41.760 of the key groups representing the Tea Party in America. 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:44.960 Here's another of Allan's emails. 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:48.280 Tomorrow I fly to Michigan for a week of talks 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.879 with the Michigan Tea Party movement about their interest in 0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:56.960 using Safe World's TV to provide a local information service 0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:59.959 about the Tea Party throughout the state of Michigan. 0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:04.760 Allan was also editing videos of Sarah Palin for the 0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:08.639 Safe World's channel. She's a Republican presidential nominee and was 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:11.280 called one of the figureheads of the Tea Party movement, 0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:14.400 and he did the same with Mike Pence, who went 0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.879 on to become Trump's vice president. There's also a photo 0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:21.400
