1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:08,239 Speaker 1: Cool Zone Media book Club, book Club, book Club, a 2 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: couple of we'll like what about It's the Cool Zone 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: Media book Club, and I am your host, Margaret Kiljoy. 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: And this week, like we've been doing for the past 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: several weeks, we've got a report from the future. That's right, 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: we have a podcast sent to us from the year 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: twenty fifty five from me, because guys still work for 8 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: this show or a different show in twenty fifty five, 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 1: and I sent a thing back in time to myself. 10 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: Don't think too much about the time paradox part of it. 11 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: The important thing is that it's another episode of Cool 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: Zone twenty fifty five, How to Survive the dinoh War. 13 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: Good morning and or evening, one and all, and welcome 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: to another episode of Cool Zone twenty fifty five How 15 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: to Survive the Dino Wars. I'm your host, Margaret Kiljoy, 16 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: here to say, Hey, we're going to get through this. 17 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: Maybe not as individuals, but none of us were going 18 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: to survive being alive anyway, terminal condition being alive. This 19 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: week on how to Survive, we're going to go over 20 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: some of the threats we're facing and talk about some 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: of the specific concrete actions we can take to counter 22 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: those threats. It's going to be a good time. But 23 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: first some headlines. The Canadian war took a turn for 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: the better of this week. First Nations fighters and their 25 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: allies announced on Tuesday that they have secured Vancouver Island. 26 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen the videos of troops storming the 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: Doom Facility and the University of Vancouver in Victoria, you 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: are missing out. Every one of those Nazi scientists surrendered 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: and thousands of human and non human test subjects were released. 30 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: This comes after months of bad news out of the 31 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: western half of Canada. With the capture of Vancouver Island, 32 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,279 Speaker 1: it is only a matter of time before internationalist forces 33 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: step onto the mainland again. Unfortunately, news out of Egypt 34 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: is not as good. Islamist forces backed by the Aryan 35 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: Empire and the New IDF have stormed the capital of Cairo, 36 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: making heavy use of the Israeli government in Exile's favorite 37 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: lab grown weapon of terror, the half sentient land jellies. 38 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: This right wing alliance has ousted the democratically elected Council 39 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: of Cairo and replaced it with a strong man. This 40 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: marks the fifth reversal in the area in only two years. 41 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: The Internationalist Forces defending the city was a coalition built 42 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: from the anti Zionist New boond the pluralist Islamic group, 43 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: the Brothers and Sisters Alliance, and of course the SDF. 44 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: There is no word yet from the Internationalist Forces about 45 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: the hopes of a counterattack, and protests within the city 46 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: have been met by immediate violence. In other news, wildfire 47 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: is ravaging much of the continental US, including rare East 48 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: coast winter fires the recently coined Christmas fires that have 49 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: been effected in the mid Atlantic in particular, Listeners are 50 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: reminded to keep a weather alert radio running twenty four 51 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: to seven if you live in one of the affected areas, 52 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: keep a go bag packed and your car charged. The 53 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: flooding through Central Africa has been particularly extreme this year. 54 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: Climate change is of course drying the southern portion of 55 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: the continent, while wettening is is that a word wettening 56 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: I don't know, while making Central Africa substantially wetter. We'll 57 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: have links in the show notes on how to support 58 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: mutual aid efforts there. And finally, it would not be 59 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: a cool Zone media podcast in World War three point 60 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: five if we did not shout out our most generous 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: sponsor Dino Cadence.

Tuition is free, but spots 70 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: are limited, so apply to Dino Cadence today. So the 71 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: oldest military strategy book in existence is still one of 72 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: the best, The Art of War by Sun Zoo. It 73 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 1: was written during the Warring States period of Chinese history. 74 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: It's mandatory reading still more than two thousand years later, 75 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: for more or less anyone considering military strategy on every 76 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: side of this conflict. The capitalists who did a good 77 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: job of destroying the world used to read it for 78 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,559 Speaker 1: lessons in corporate warfare. The best and the worst people 79 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: in the world read The Art of War. I'm not 80 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: going to quote the whole thing at you. Though. It's 81 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: not a very long text and you should read it, 82 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 1: but there's a part that's particularly relevant what we're talking 83 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: about today. Note that most translations, including the one I'm 84 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: about to read, use the pronoun he throughout, but classical 85 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: Chinese did not make use of gendered pronouns. Mandarin Chinese 86 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: adopted gendered pronouns in the twentieth century after contact with 87 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: Western languages. In case you wanted another reason to be 88 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: mad at Romance languages, there you go. But that's unrelated. 89 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: Here's a quote from the Art of War. We may 90 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: know that there are five essentials for victory. One he 91 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: will win who knows when to fight and when not 92 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: to fight. Two he will win who knows how to 93 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: handle both superior and inferior forces. 94 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: Three he will. 95 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: Win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout 96 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: all its ranks. Four he will win who prepared himself 97 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: waits to take the enemy unprepared. Five he will win 98 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: who who has military capacity and is not interfered with 99 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: by the sovereign. So those are the five main principles 100 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: we're operating under. When we discuss how we're going to 101 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: get through this. Know how to pick your battles, know 102 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: how to adapt to the enemy, know how to maintain morale, 103 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: know how to time your attacks, and celebrate our decentralized 104 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: command structure. But the next section of the Art of 105 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: war is even more specifically useful to what we're talking 106 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: about today. 107 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: Quote. 108 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need 109 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: not fear the result of one hundred battles. If you 110 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained, 111 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither 112 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. 113 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: So we must know the enemy and ourselves. That's easy. 114 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: You might think we're the good guys in there, a 115 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: bunch of evil Nazis. That's all I need to know. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. 116 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: That is what the enemy wants us to think. They 117 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: want us thinking and purely black and white, because they 118 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: want us ignorant. We need to know ourselves, our strengths 119 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: and our weaknesses alike, and we need to know them 120 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: their strengths and weaknesses alike. That means knowing how they tick. 121 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: That means knowing what spirit animates their armies. There is 122 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: a reason that mindcom the Principles of the Elders of 123 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: Zion and the Turner Diaries and all those sorts of 124 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: horrible texts are required reading in internationalist officer training programs. 125 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: There's a reason that cool Zone media has been talking 126 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: about how bad people think since the very start, also 127 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: how reasonable people end up thinking bad things, and how 128 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: we need to be aware of that and learn to 129 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: distinguish between the two. The Art of War gets into 130 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: way more about that, but I'm not going to get 131 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: into it right now. I promise this isn't a purely 132 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: art of war for the Dinoh war Atpiside. Oh, that 133 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: would be fun. We should do it in an addition 134 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: that just takes the art of war and adapts it 135 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: to the Dino war. What do you think you should 136 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: let us know on the various Internet things if you think. 137 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: We should do that. 138 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: So this week we're going to talk about the enemy forces, 139 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: and in particular we're going to talk about the living 140 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: weapons that they bring to the battlefield. But first we're 141 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: going to talk about the goods and services that support 142 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: this podcast. Are you tired of bonky bonnks that boink 143 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: your big bonk? Do you wonder why you were issued 144 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: a helmet and your bronto wasn't. Do you want to 145 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: show your main reptile that you love them, then you 146 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: need to talk to Big Boingos Ballistic anti boink Barting. 147 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 2: Today. 148 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: The bros and bro ettes at Big Boingos know everything 149 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: about how to equip your steed with ceramic plating. They 150 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: know how hard it is to build helmets for brontos, 151 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: but they're not afraid to do it. If your bronto 152 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: can't think, it can't fight, so guard that big boy 153 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: or boyette and their brain. Today, this week and this 154 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: week only, Big Boingos is offering a special deal for 155 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: Cool Zone listeners. If you purchase a set of braided barting, 156 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: they'll throw in one of their patented Bronchi brodals or free. 157 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: That's right for free. Who's on media had slight reservations 158 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: about accepting this ad. Big Boygos Ballistic anti Boinkbarting has 159 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: been categorized by the Strategic Alliance Department of the Baltimore 160 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: Commune as an opportunistic corporation whose loyalty to internationalism is 161 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: currently in question. Ongoing investigations are looking into potential financial 162 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: ties between Big Boingcos and an outfitter who serves the 163 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: other side of this war called massive Maus Monstrous Monster munitions. 164 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: Cool Zone Media would like to remind its listeners that 165 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: it cynically takes money from advertisers in order to finance 166 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: the production of anti fascist content and suggests listeners do 167 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: their own research into the goods and services. It advertises 168 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: that said big boingos dino armor has been field tested 169 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: by people we trust. Their quality is good and their 170 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: prices are competitive. Are you a millennial still in this war, 171 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: figuring it's your generation that should have done a better 172 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: job of stopping the rise of fascism worldwide? Are you 173 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: a gen xer in uniform using your trademark cynicism to 174 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: bolster a sort of nihilistic morale among your younger comrades. 175 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: Are you a zoomer refusing to slow down? Maybe you 176 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: are a proud member of the Gray Brigades, fighting alongside 177 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: your not young peers in this desperate winner take all 178 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: showdown between fascism and internationalism. If you are forty five 179 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: years or older, you are more than welcome at this 180 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: summer's Old Bastard's Ball in Belfast, United Ireland. Here is 181 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: your chance to socialize with the other ancient warriors and 182 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: to tell ancient war stories. Cool Zone Media's Maya Wong 183 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: will be presenting the Wokies, the award for combat veterans 184 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: old enough to have called things woke unironically for security reasons, 185 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: all attendees must RSVP and a vouch system will be 186 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: in place. 187 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 2: And We're back. 188 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: While climate change scientists in Helsinki were de extincting animals 189 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: in the twenty forties, they were not the only people 190 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: developing ex vitro genesis. In Toledo, Ohio, there was a 191 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: pharmaceutical startup that was originally called the Crusader's Grail. Their 192 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 1: odd name was part of that wave of counterculture, right 193 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: wing Catholic converts that happened right before the Disconcordant. Mostly 194 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: they made their money selling knockoff pharmaceuticals and infringing on 195 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: other companies patents, which won them a lot of support 196 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: during the era of the insurance Riots, But it soon 197 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: became clear that they were adulterating their products with drugs 198 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: that they hoped would quote reverse the homosexual and transsexuals 199 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: of the US and make kids straight. 200 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: Instead, it sort of made people lose their minds. 201 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: It was bad, a whole bunch of behind the bassards 202 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: episodes about them before we knew how real bad they 203 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: were going to get. The FDA tried to shut them down, 204 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: and there was that arms stand off at their compound, 205 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: and it was a whole big deal. You probably remember it. 206 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: If you don't remember the standoff, check out Molly Conger's 207 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: twenty thirty six episode of Weird Little Guys titled make 208 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: the Frogs Straight Again. And so the Crusader's Grail. They 209 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: changed their name in their business model, but not their 210 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: overall mission. The Crusader's Grail became Substantiation, which is of 211 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: course trans substantiation the Catholic belief that the crackers and 212 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: wine they eat turned into literal body and blood of 213 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: Jesus when they eat them, but without the trans in 214 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: the name. Because there are a bunch of right wing 215 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: culture war zealots, Substantiation set about trying to well raise 216 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: the dead and breed monsters like that was their mission 217 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: statement in internal paperwork, or to quote it directly. Substantiation 218 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: is a for profit organization dedicated to spreading the Word 219 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: of Christ and spreading Christian nationalism by use of unliving bioweapons. 220 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: It is God's plan that we recreate the Miracle of 221 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: Lazarus and arm the resurrected with flaming swords with which 222 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: to strike down the sinful. Which look, we did a 223 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: whole two week series on the Disconcordant and you can 224 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: go check that out for more information. But this statement, 225 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: once it leaked, it pretty much split the Christian faith 226 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: and it was a huge reason why a series of 227 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: anti popes started popping up all over the world, because 228 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people were like, wait a second, isn't 229 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: the whole point of Christianity not to strike down the sinful, 230 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: like with flaming swords, but. 231 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 2: To forgive them? 232 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: And other people were like, but we want zombies with 233 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: flaming swords to kill gay people, and those are the two. 234 00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 2: Sides of Christianity. 235 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: Ever since substantiation got mystery funding, which ed Zitron actually 236 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: proved the source of it was the Republican Party. Do 237 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: you remember the Republican Party. There were a bunch of 238 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: right wing bastards who went mask off fascist in the 239 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: twenty tens before most of you were born, who picked 240 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: a really strange name for themselves, since Republican means leftist 241 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: everywhere else in the world. But then again, I guess 242 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: when the Republican Party picked it, they were actually the 243 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: anti racist whatever. It's a whole bunch of history about this. 244 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: I've done so many episodes over the past several decades 245 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: that talk about the Republican Party and when it switched 246 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: over and blah blah blah blah blah. That's unrelated, Okay, unrelated. 247 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: Substantiation never really made money. They just ate up resources 248 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: developing living weapons what we call biospawn today. They developed 249 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: ex vetro Genesis, which is that cloning that isn't really 250 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: cloning because it doesn't require a living host that everyone 251 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: else just costs cloning. But if you don't say X 252 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: feature genesis and podcasts, then people get mad at you 253 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: on social media. 254 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: Anyway. 255 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: They developed this around roughly the same timeline as Cold 256 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: Lab Cooperative in Helsinki did. Substantiation's first big success was 257 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: the hellhound, a sort of half dog, half rabbit monstrosity 258 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: that is still in production today. Like most biospawn, especially 259 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: monster hybrids, hellhounds live for only a year or two 260 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: at most, and they spend all of their waking hours 261 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: in tremendous pain. Screaming and crying. They were sold first 262 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: as guard. 263 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 2: Dogs to the ultra rich. 264 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: It was this whole fad, but owners kept them so 265 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: full of pain meds to get them to shut up 266 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: that the hellhounds mostly slept all day and were not 267 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: really useful even for intimidation. Plus, there was that beautiful 268 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: day when hellhounds ate Bombboy, the white rapper turned past 269 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: her white nationalist billionaire at his estate in front of 270 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: a live news crew. Some of these hellhounds were even 271 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: utilized in World War Three, mostly just for their impact 272 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: on the enemy's morale, but in an era of drones, 273 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: the hellhounds weren't particularly impactful on a larger scale. If 274 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: you find yourself up against hellhounds, which you might have already, honestly, 275 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: here's what you need to know about them. They have 276 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: the jaws of a pit bull, and once they've latched 277 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: onto you, realistically the only way you're getting it off 278 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: of you is to shoot it in the head. They 279 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: can jump ten feet vertically or thirty feet horizontally. Even 280 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: the most ardent animal lover instinctively knows that it is 281 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: a favor to kill these creatures. Hellhounds have a death 282 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: wish as strong as their prey drive. They live to 283 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: kill and die. Their main weakness is that they are 284 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: never quiet, even sleeping. Hellhounds are suffering crying in their sleep. Unfortunately, 285 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: it really is a drive to kill and not a 286 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: drive to eat. Most distraction techniques that work on dogs 287 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: do not work on hellhounds. But on the plus side, 288 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: they somewhat regularly attack their own trainers. Due to their volatility, 289 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: hellhounds are rarely used in field battles, which is good 290 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: because they're reasonably. 291 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: Effective against dinosaurs. 292 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: Otherwise they just attack their own side too much. Hell 293 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: Hounds are often guarding the perimeter of nationalist bases, trained 294 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: not to wander too far and to attack anything living 295 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: that they run across. They're also used to flush out 296 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: buildings in urban warfare. A pack, usually three to twelve 297 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: dogs will be let loose in the front door. These 298 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: hounds are also often equipped with suicide vests that explode 299 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: if shot or Recently, since dogs cannot open doors, some 300 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: hounds have been trained to self detonate their vests if 301 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: they find a door they cannot open, which clears the 302 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: path for the remaining creatures. I know I said earlier 303 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: about how we shouldn't see these things in terms of 304 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: black or white. But our enemy, at least its scientists 305 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: and its generals, truly are evil. If you encounter hell hounds, 306 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: it is useless to run, even on dinosaur back. These 307 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: fucking things are fast. You need to fight. They are 308 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: physically weaker than you and your mount. At the end 309 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,479 Speaker 1: of it, if you can shoot them, shoot them. If 310 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: they're masked and you have access to a flamethrower, use 311 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: that if you're alone. There's an old trick people use 312 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: to fight dogs. I'm sorry to say that this is 313 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: the thing that people have had to do, where you 314 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: offer your forearm, the forearm of your non dominant arm, 315 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: and the hellhound will lunge and bite that. 316 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 2: Use your dominant arm then. 317 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: To shoot or stab the creature to death. If you're 318 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: expecting hellhound trouble, van braces are worth adding to your kit. 319 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: For those of you who didn't grow up obsessed with 320 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: swords and armor, that's a forearm guard. After the development 321 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: of the Vishnu Shield at the end of World War Three, 322 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: substantiation itself actually collapsed. I wish we could take credit 323 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: for this, but basically one of the founders detransitioned from 324 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: Catholicism back to mainline Evangelical Protestantism. And then one of 325 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: the Catholics got mad, and then the two killed each 326 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: other in a literal duel, and the whole organization was 327 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: so hierarchical that it fell apart with two of its leaders. 328 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: But it's core ideas of using ex vitro genesis to 329 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: develop super weapons. That idea is spread and spread and spread. 330 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 2: It's all over the world. 331 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: But you know what else is all over the world, 332 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: products and services. This podcast is brought to you by 333 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: the Council for Total War on Boredom, the makers of 334 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: the finest board and card games in the twenty first century. 335 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: When you've got some downtime in the trenches or the lab, 336 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: or the warehouse, or the factory or the mess hall 337 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,120 Speaker 1: or wherever you do your part to kill fascists, why 338 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: not pass the time with a board game. You could 339 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: try last year's breakaway hit Please the Plesiosaur, a semi 340 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: cooperative game for two to seventeen players that teaches battle tactics. 341 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 2: Why you're just having fun. 342 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: Or maybe you'd like to try something new. Just last December, 343 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: we put out Where's Santa that rat bassard he owes 344 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: me child Support, a card game for three people who 345 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: are comfortable expressing sexuality with one another. Looking for something 346 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: more family friendly, try our late game Zombie Town, in 347 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: which you practice family evacuation from a town beset by 348 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: the living dead, stepping over the corpses of your loved 349 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: ones to try to escape to the relative safety of 350 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: internationalist lines three miles away. That's about five kilometers to 351 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: those of you in civilized countries. Remember, just because we're 352 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 1: in total war doesn't mean we should get total bored. 353 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: This podcast was brought to you by reticent Randy's Rodent Rescue. 354 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: Why is he rescuing all these rodents? He won't say, 355 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: But if you need to rescue a rodent, Randy is 356 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: the man for the job. This advertisement barely past our 357 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: editorial board. None of us are exactly sure what service 358 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: has been offered by this advertiser. It seems likely, perhaps 359 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: even probable, the appearance of this advertisement is a code 360 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: that communicates meaning to some portion of the listening audience. 361 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 2: Who's on media. 362 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: Would like to remind the people who play such ads 363 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: in order to communicate internationalist fighters behind enemy lines that 364 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: such coded messages are more effective that they appear to be, 365 00:20:51,119 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: which have been advertisements, and we're back. 366 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: Soon enough. 367 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: Nationalist scientists were reanimating the dead. There was no religious 368 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: motivation this time, not really. It was a tech startup 369 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: Brains with a Z and two exclamation marks that really 370 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: pushed for the reanimation of the dead. Zombies would Brains 371 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: hoped be able to replace living workers in any number 372 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: of industries. After all, the unliving require weekly injections in 373 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: order to stay animated, and so if the workers were sentient, 374 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: that could have been held over their heads to make 375 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: them loyal to whatever company they were. 376 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 2: Leased out to. 377 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: Because Brains was a subscription service, as was the style 378 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: at the time. Early on, there was some optimism about 379 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: bringing people back as well. 380 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 2: People. 381 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: There would have been some brain damage, people assumed, but 382 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: they might still have you know, sentience, memory, and personality. 383 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: A few famous counterfeit attempts. Do you remember Jesus the 384 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,239 Speaker 1: blonde haired, blue eyed preacher who claimed to have been 385 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: resurrected after self crucifixion. No one ever managed a true resurrection. 386 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: The dead stay dead, or at least their souls or 387 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: personalities or whatever you want to call it. Do the 388 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: very very freshly dead were able to be resurrected and 389 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: merged with other creatures, creating bipedial biospawn with roughly the 390 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: intelligence and demeanor of the hell hounds. Most corpses, though, 391 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: are resurrected as what we call zombies, slow shambling creatures 392 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: without even an animal self awareness. The zombies cannot be trained, 393 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: only herded. They walk and moan until they find a 394 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: warm blooded creature that they then rip to shreds, trying 395 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: to consume every bit of its blood and warmth. Fortunately, 396 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: unlike the zombies of screen and page, real life zombies 397 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: lack the ability to self replicate. You get bit by 398 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: a zombie, you're not going to turn into a zombie. 399 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,239 Speaker 1: The real life zombies even tend to rip people up 400 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: so badly that their kills cannot be resurrected by the necromancers, 401 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: as zombie making engineers are so often called. Unfortunately, they 402 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: are like movie zombies and that the only way to 403 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: kill them is to destroy their brain, and resurrection has 404 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: not weakened their skulls to any appreciable degree, but it's 405 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: not as easy to destroy their brain as it is 406 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: in the movies. The fact that they use zombies is 407 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: somehow the biggest propaganda issue of either side. Christian nationalists 408 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: in particular have managed to spin the whole thing as 409 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: a way in which sinners are punished, that the army 410 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: of the dead is serving God's plan, but everywhere the 411 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: existence of zombies it's a very successful weapon of fear. 412 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: You might not like us, but we're unstoppable. Join us, 413 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: or zombies will eat your family. It's a very convincing line. 414 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: On our side, we're able to say, well, the other 415 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: side reanimates the dead as unthinking monsters, and only by 416 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: bloodlust they are the bad guys. This too, is a 417 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: very convincing line. Zombies, interestingly, only have limited military use. 418 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: They are primarily used for terrorism. They are set loose 419 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: in enemy population centers, especially civilian areas on the battlefield. 420 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: They're too vulnerable to machine gun fire to be wielded 421 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: with too much success. Though they are so easy to 422 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: produce that occasionally they are massed in sufficient numbers to 423 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: be sent out ahead of the regular forces as bullet 424 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: sponges and well terror units sent to demoralize us. Fortunately, 425 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: images of brave soldiers on dinosaurs shooting down zombies have 426 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: bolstered our cause quite a bit. Morale is a terrain 427 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: of struggle, as we always say, whereas son Zoo put it, 428 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: one will win whose army is animated by the same 429 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: spirit throughout all its ranks. We like to squabble about 430 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: anarchism versus republicanism, versus Marxis, Leninism versus democratic and federalism, 431 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: versus social democracy versus nihilism, but our whole army is 432 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks, the 433 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: idea that the living ought to win in the war 434 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: against the liminal. If you're up against zombies, get into 435 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: the open. They're slow and vulnerable in the open, even 436 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: in great numbers. Firearms, fire explosives all quite effective against them. 437 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: In tighter spaces they're much more dangerous. Don't get split up, 438 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: fight back to back, aim for the head if you've 439 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: got the shot. But if you take out their knees, 440 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: they can't do much more than crawl, and that's better 441 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: than nothing. Early propaganda bulletins made sure to emphasize that 442 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: we knew that these creatures were not living, that they're 443 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: not the people that they look like. But honestly, we 444 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: stop bothering to say that because one look at a 445 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: zombie and you know there is no spark of life 446 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: left in it. So the zombies were a big hit, 447 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: and hell hounds truly strike terror in the hearts of 448 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: many of us. But the nationalist forces decided that the 449 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: creation of biospond is an art. All over the world, 450 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: nationalist scientists have developed different local flavors to the monsters 451 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: that they grow and set loose, and new trends regularly 452 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: sweep across the globe. In twenty fifty three, they went big, 453 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: hulking monstrosities like combining roly pollis with elephants or spiders 454 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: and rhinoceroses, or things that we never really reverse engineered, 455 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 1: like at one point they pulled off a dragon, like 456 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: how do they do that? 457 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: We don't know. 458 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: It must have taken so much work, because they never 459 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: did it again. When these things first hit the battlefield, 460 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: they were admittedly terrifying. Their screams echo for miles because 461 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: they are also, like all biospawn, in terrible pain. But 462 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: they were too hard to control to make much tactical 463 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,959 Speaker 1: use of these giant ones, and in the end they 464 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: were no match for t rexes and the good old 465 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,239 Speaker 1: classic de extincted animals. Like the sabertoothed tigers that can 466 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: hunt in packs. Oh you gotta watch the video of 467 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: the saber tooth tigers bringing down that dragon. It is 468 00:26:54,800 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: a sight to see. In twenty fifty four, they were smarter, 469 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: they went smaller. This was the year of roving packs 470 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: of jellies and the admittedly kind of cool if you 471 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: grow up playing D and D gelatinous cubes that inch 472 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: their way across the battlefield and pervious to traditional munitions, 473 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: dissolving everything in their way. That's when most units were issued. 474 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: Flamethrowers and biospahn without central nervous systems are a bit 475 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: easier for the other side to control, as they are 476 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: not in constant pain. We don't know what the big 477 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: trend will be this year, but early indications out of 478 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: Ukraine suggest that the Russians at least are toying around 479 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: with Dinosaurs's base models from which to create horrific screeching 480 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: hell monsters like the six legged raptors that bleed from 481 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: their mouths and vomit acid uncontrollably. We're as yet unsure 482 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: if the acid thing was a feature or a bug, 483 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: but one more creature we want to cover in more 484 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: detail because you are likely to run across it. Are 485 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: the moles, I mean, they're not actually moles at all. 486 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: They're more like land shrimp round lice. 487 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 2: They're awful. They dig though. 488 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: They're the size of squirrels, and they dig and they 489 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: dig until they hear someone above them, and then they. 490 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 2: Pop out and try to eat you. 491 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: A single mole is not a big deal at all. 492 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 1: It's gross, but you can step on it to kill it. 493 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: They don't send out single moles. They send out swarms. 494 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: We're unsure exactly how they were constructed, but they first 495 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: appeared on the South African front and now they're in 496 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: use all across the world because they are damned effective, 497 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: particularly if a swarm gets into a dino stable, that 498 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: usually causes a stampede, which usually means a lot of 499 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: people die. These things can dig through wood, but not concrete, 500 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: so in places with suspected mole activity, make sure your 501 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: primary living quarters are on slab foundations. Make sure that 502 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: your space is equipped with ground penetrating radar if you're 503 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: not under conditions of Vish New shielding, but if you 504 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: are under Vish New conditions. Dogs have been trained successfully 505 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: to detect their presence. Either way, if you've got to 506 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: heads up, it's best to evacuate the area. They can 507 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: be fought with fire and poison gas if necessary. The 508 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: best way to deal with a mole attack, though, is 509 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: to stop it at its source. Mole facilities are massive 510 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: because these creatures are only effective in large numbers, and 511 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: they cannot be transported far as Their lifespan is measured 512 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: in hours or days, not weeks or months or years. 513 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: So if you're attacked by moles the breeding ground is nearby, 514 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: destroy it. In fact, that's the best way to deal 515 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: with all the biospawn. Find and kill the fascists who 516 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: produce them. Feed the fascists to your stable. It's good 517 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: for morale. As for another way to track down these fascists, 518 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to leave you with another bit of advice 519 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: from sun Zoo.

Our spies 524 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: must be commissioned to ascertain these so yeah, uh know 525 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: your enemy, literally know their names, know who they know, 526 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: figure out what you can use against them, and that's 527 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: what we've got for you for this week.
