My select pick for 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:15.280 this week is Interpol colon World Police, because why not. 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.440 I never knew much about interpoll at all actually before 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:20.800 we did this podcast, and I learned quite a bit myself, 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:22.320 and I think you will too. So if you haven't 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:24.120 listened to it, I hope you enjoy it. If you have, 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.360 give it another world. Here we go with Interpol. Right now, 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.080 welcome to Stuff you should Know from House Stuff Works 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:42.280 dot com. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.080 There's Charles W. Chuke Bryant. Uh. And since you put 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:50.360 the two of us together with microphones as we are now, 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.519 uh and press records, you get stuff you should know. 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:57.200 That's right. A little podcast, just a little podcast, squsty 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:01.120 little podcast made it sell it? Coom, how are you, sir? 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:06.920 I'm pretty good your papers? Please? No? What is that 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.880 you know into Pol? Is that you sounded like? Um 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.920 the little Asian man who gives the box to Pinhead, 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:19.440 the man who eventually becomes Pinhead watches y'all plasias. Uh, 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.280 that's kind of who you want. Well, then that's what 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.360 I was doing. Good ones, my first good impression. Yet. 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.440 The guy has Interpol written all over him, he's got 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.600 a he's got an orange notice out on him. I'll 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:36.920 bet you green. We'll get on that later, Chuck. Yes, 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.080 I'm pretty much percent sure you had nothing to do 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.440 with this, so you may not have heard about it, okay. Um. 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.760 Back in two thousand eleven, about this time March two 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:54.360 thousand eleven, inter POL, the international police organization, cracked a 0:01:54.680 --> 0:02:01.120 um child pedophile ring. Nice the biggest one ever really 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:05.680 centered on a website I guess appropriately enough called boy 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.679 lover dot net run out of Amsterdam. Boy lover dot 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.079 net is just a straight up legitimate gay porn site, 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.639 but there was a forum there with like seventy thousand 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:20.800 members with that like said, well, hey, you're you're into 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.240 this kind of thing too, huh Um, I got a 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.000 video that you're gonna love, and I also have a 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.600 little boy that I'm gonna mail to you. So this 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.360 wasn't affiliated with the website. No, they're just using one 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:35.000 of the forums as a meeting place for pedophiles. But 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.720 Interpol busted these guys up rescued UM two and thirty 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.760 kids arrested a hundred and eight four UM suspects just 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:48.640 in the first sweep and pretty much in thirty countries. Yeah, 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.120 good for them, It is good for them. It's just 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.600 one of the many victories and triumphs over PEDERASTI that 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.720 Interpol can boast. That's right, and not just pederasty. Like 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:03.720 all sorts of huge international crimes. Anytime there's a crime 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.360 syndicate or a ring, you need to watch out because 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.640 inner Poles watching you. Into Pol is right behind you. 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:14.200 What does you'll pla uh? And this was actually fan 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:18.399 generated this um. This came on Facebook like three days ago. 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.720 Oh really, I wish I would have got the guy's name. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.560 Some kid was like, hey, can you do one Interpol? 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.440 And I went, yeah sure? Are you sure? He wasn't 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.600 talking about the band he might have been. Are they 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.240 still around? Yeah? They're still around? Uh yeah they're yeah. 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.200 I don't I don't know what they're doing these days. 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:34.960 I'm not a fan, so I don't know, dude, how 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.040 do you not like Interpol? There? Just like listen to 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.960 their music and it didn't sit right in my ears. 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.080 I'm surprised. I thought, like everybody like the Inner Pole. Yeah, 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.760 they're just good. Yeah, yeah, do you think all right? 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:51.240 INTERPOL the International Criminal Police Organization or i c p O, 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.320 or if you're in France or their headquartered, you might 0:03:54.360 --> 0:04:02.640 call it the Organists Organist Internacion the police criminal very nice, 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.480 which is pretty much the same thing and different word order. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:10.080 I didn't know this, but criminal is feminine. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.760 I didn't realize that they like the ladies. Yess alright, So, 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:20.119 as you said, Josh, they are an international um, fully autonomous, 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.680 not affiliated with any single country organization. I think they're 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.440 a hundred eighty six countries nine now and they all 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.039 contribute to the to the budget to the kittie based 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.400 on their size and their g d P and some 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:38.480 other factors. Like it's very it's very fair, um, but 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.279 it's very important, like you said, that they're not beholden 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.320 to any one country um, and that they remain neutral 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.000 and they don't and they don't engage in any um 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:55.760 any investigations into political stuff things um contributing or being 0:04:55.760 --> 0:05:00.280 centered on race or um religion. That's right, My brain 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:04.960 is now working today. My brain is uh so what 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.120 they do Josh, you just said what they don't do. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:13.080 What they do do, uh terrorism, sexually do terrorism like 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.600 nobody else, sexual abuse, especially with children, which is what 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:23.400 you just talked about. UM, organized crime, international fugitives, computer crime, UM, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:31.719 stolen art, money laundering, human trafficking, illegal drugs, smuggling, environmental crime, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:36.680 anything that crosses international borders. Almost you're gonna find into 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:42.320 polar helping helping out with But you said the magic 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.400 phrase helping out like interpoll doesn't have. They don't run 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.880 around like arresting guys phrase bad guys. It is interpoll 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.880 UM and they they don't have interpolled jail, as a 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.040 Grabanowski points out, UM. But what they do is they 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:02.320 serve as this international meeting point for UM already established 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:05.680 national agencies. Right, So let's let's do a little scenario. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:11.320 I'm FBI Agent Todd Ridgeway of the Des Moines, Iowa 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:16.599 Field office, and your agent Vinny Testaverity of the Politia 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:20.920 di Stato in Italy, and I believe a terrorist is 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:25.200 UM hiding out near your field office in Genoa. So 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.560 I'm calling you up. I'm like ring ring, This is 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:33.120 Todd Ridgeway. I'm with the FBI. In Des Moines. Hey, Todd, 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:40.599 this is so. And see what Chuck just demonstrated was 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:45.400 how it doesn't work because Vinny Testaverdi doesn't speak a 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:49.800 look of English and Todd Ridgeway doesn't speak any Italian. Right. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.960 And not only that, he shouldn't have been calling Vinny Testaverdi. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.520 He should have been calling Giuseppe de Bikono um who's 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.640 with the local police, because is that's what the Italian 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:08.720 um police bureaucracy protocol calls for. But he has no idea, no, 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.680 So what does he do? He calls into pot that's right, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.000 and they step up and they're like, you know, you 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.120 need to get in touch with you need to get 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.320 in touch with any test of Verdie's cousin who works 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.280 for the state police over there, the Polizza but Italy, 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.480 because there who's handling this case. Here's their number. In fact, 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.400 let me go ahead and patch it through. But not 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:32.200 only that, I'm going and I'm going to translate for you. Um. Yeah, 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:36.080 so they're the interpoll Um. Interpol has what are called 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:41.480 National Central Bureaus national country Bureaus, no National Central Bureaus 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.400 n CBS, and that's like an FBI field office. But 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.840 They have them in different countries around the world, and 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.760 they serve as liaisons for the local or state or 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.200 national police with the same their counterparts in other countries. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.080 That's the big one. Yeah, it gets you know when 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.000 you it's it's complicated enough within the United States with 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.360 jurisdictions and protocol, but when you open it up to 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.000 the world, boy, it gets all kinds of crazy. So 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:12.800 luckily intopol Is there any peeing contests, Well, they probably 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:18.360 try to, but them should they exist? Um, Their big 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.480 deal is their databases, because the FBI and the CIA, 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.480 why they might all have like and whatever your country's 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.240 databases are, crime databases, they probably just extend to that country, 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:35.679 unless it's like some sort of database on terrorism. Um. Interpolls. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:40.960 Databases are away extensive. They circle the globe and they 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:45.920 can track criminals pretty much anywhere and everywhere. Fingerprints, mug shots, 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.480 wanted people, DNA, you name it. Um. They have a 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.640 they have a database just of lost, lost in stolen 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.760 travel documents that's got more than like twelve million files 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.320 to it. Yeah. I think I saw somewhere to too 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.920 that they said most people don't try and recover those, 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.160 which I thought was interesting. Yeah, well, I imagine like 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.840 if you lose your passport, you're probably traveling abroad and 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.600 they're you're not getting that back. You never know unless 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:16.520 you go. Yeah, yeah, they could have your stuff because 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.640 who knows that kuld that could have been stolen to 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:23.120 be used in some trafficking syndicate. It's true, and your 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.439 name could be all drug all through the mud um 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:30.240 boilover dot net. That's right. UM. The the database that 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.360 they are, the databases that they maintain or are their own, 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.120 but they're open and their access through this UM communications 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.720 net we're called seven. That's kind of cool something because 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:45.640 inter poll is um. They're open seven three even on Christmas. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.319 They're fully operational. Really, they don't close down like all 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.600 the police do here on Christmas. No, because think about it, man, Um, 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.320 well yes I get your joke, but I mean think 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.960 about the skeleton crews that go down. I think inter 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.080 Polls open all the time because they cross all all 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:04.400 UM time zones at all times. Yeah, so they kind 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.040 of have to be ready to go all the time 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.600 because you know, while one guy is sleeping, the criminals 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.040 in one country are sleeping their wide awake and carrying 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.440 out bad activities and another. That's true. What else can 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.240 they do, josh? Oh? They serve that seven is also 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.200 a place where you can access another country's databases. So 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:29.120 this those those nationally bound databases become international through this portal, 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.280 and Interval oversees all of that, so they know what's 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.480 going on. UM. They also, let's say there's an international 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:40.480 disaster of some sort, like a terrorist attack, assassination, UM, 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:44.200 they can send an incident response team UM generally coordinated 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.600 through the u N. If there's some sort of actually 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.480 a natural disaster like the tsunami efforts, they can send 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.760 people down there to help UM identify people and look 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.760 for missing persons, UH, protect kids, because I can guarantee 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.200 you there are a lot of pedophiles who traveled who 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:05.520 Indonesia after that tsunami. That's right. That's crazy, man, that's 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:10.080 just that's awful. Imagine like losing your parents, being seven, 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.480 suddenly an orphan, and then now there's some guy who's like, hey, 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.760 you're coming to Holland with me. You're like, no, I'm not. 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.839 He's like, yeah, you really are. Well, you know you 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.920 understand what he's saying. He just offers you the lolly 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.240 in a in a car ride. Yeah, very sad. Uh. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.000 But thanks to Interpoll, things like that are being thwarted. 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.199 And I saw there's two types of incident response teams. Um. 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.439 They have the criminal type and the disaster type. Um. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:41.920 And but they both serve in an advisory capacity and 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.719 they show up with their database right like I can 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:48.079 get you into you need me. Uh. They can act 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.720 as a central command though if local authorities say, hey, 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.600 we need your help to act to central command help 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.200 us out with logistics. Um. I think the grabs are 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.920 said in two thousand five they did that twelve time. Yeah, 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.640 once a month, not bad. Dust off the old work 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.880 and shoes, yeah, like get off the field, yeah, time 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:12.199 to get out of bed. How does it structure, Josh, Well, 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.800 I'll tell you. Interpoll is made up of a general 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.719 Assembly in which each of the member nations has one 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.559 delegate and one vote. Makes a lot of sense. They 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.240 meet once a year and they vote on all the 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:26.960 big stuff, which kind of makes it a slow lumbering 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:31.640 bureaucracy unless they invest a lot of authority into the 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:37.360 Executive Committee, which is a thirteen member committee that basically 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.760 carries out all the administrative functions of inter Poll. And 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:45.199 they are elected, right, as is the Secretary General, although 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.280 it saysn't here appointed. I saw elected. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.400 now he's elected because um, I saw this guy, Ronald K. Noble. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:58.319 He got an overwhelminglergy of the vote for his second reelection. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:01.360 So he's in his third term, first time ever, yeah, 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:07.000 which is still I think he's running from under this 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:11.280 current term. And he is the first American secretary general 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.400 if I'm not mistaken, right, yeah, And he's the first 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.439 three time secretary general too. Then a lot of frenchie's. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:22.760 I think I saw one uh Englishman, Yeah, and uh, 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.200 there's definitely one German because there was some controversy with that. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:29.240 I believe the president is Korean, now, okay, not to 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.960 be confused with the secretary General. The president is beneath him, right. 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.520 The Secretary General is who actually runs the day to 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:43.040 day show, right. And he's headquartered, um in the General Secretariat, 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:47.920 which is the main headquarters in Leon, France. That's right, um. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.160 And then there's other there's some regional offices. There's six 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.880 of them, the sixth of which is in New York 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.040 and that's the Special liais under the u N Because 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.920 Interpol very wisely got in with the u N because 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.840 like this body has some staying power. That's right, We're 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.079 gonna become friendly with them. You can also find these 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:11.480 place offices in Argentina, El Salvador, Thailand, Kenya, Zimbabwe and 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:17.520 quote their very nice did you practice in No, I 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:24.440 just it's name that I've said it many myself. It 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:48.560 means the um coast Devoir in French. Okay, uh, you 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.600 mentioned that we all all the member countries chipping for 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.880 the budget. Um. The budget is not a lot, though, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:58.240 compared to like any budget in the United States. I 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.520 think in two thousand seven the grabster pointed it at 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:06.680 roughly sixty one million dollars US or forty four a 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.240 million euros, which I wonder what that's equal to now 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.520 two thousand seven dollars to two thousand eleven. But it's 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.040 a big change. I should have looked up the current budget. 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:20.040 Actually you should fail. It's okay, Chuck, Let's talk about 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.760 the notices. So this is their other big thing. Um. 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.560 They don't just sit around and and wait to be 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.680 asked for help. They also disseminate information and they do 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:34.280 it through color coded notices. They've got. Um, let's see 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.760 what is the nine, eight seven. Okay, so they have 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.520 eight now because they added another one after this, after 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.120 this even yes, UM, and the different color codes mean 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.960 different things. So you're going to get via teletype possibly 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:52.600 facts or maybe even email. You'll get like some sort 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:57.480 of maybe a PDF document of UM, say, orange basically 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:01.760 says like, hey, we've got we have pretty good idea 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:06.080 that there's an imminent threat and it's this guy and 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.840 he's wearing this coat and he's got a dirty bring 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.000 a bomb. Yeah, so that if you get an orange one, 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.520 your head better perk up and you need to look closely. 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.280 That's right. Black is unidentified bodies. That's a sad one. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.960 That's the saddest of all notices. UM Yellow missing persons. 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.680 It's probably the second status uh green general information and 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:29.680 warnings about major criminals. So this one is kind of it. UM, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.640 that's pretty vague. High well, it highlights another function that 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.600 they have UM that it wasn't explicitly stated in this article, 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.240 but I gleaned using my powers of deduction, that they 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:43.200 have analysts who crunch all this data, who poured through databases, 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.960 look at crime trends, look at criminal trends, and then 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.360 UM come up with basically just general notices. When they're 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.480 sitting around with some time on their hands, they issue 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.040 green notices that say, like, hey, here's another angle to 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.400 a case that you might not have thought of. Interesting. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.800 Have you met this guy. Here's all the bad stuff 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.199 he's done. He may be in your neighborhood, right, that 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.600 kind of thing, And the local authorities say, yeah, yeah, interval, 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.920 we got we know you've got some time on your hand. Exactly, 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:14.000 very nice, thank you. The blue notice, Josh is um 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.880 individuals of interest related to a crime, including the possible 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:22.480 witnesses or suspects or persons of interest, is a good 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.160 umbrella term for those kinds of people. Your crime that's 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.280 already been comming. People who ran with the wrong crowd. 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.119 We're at the wrong place in the wrong time and 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:36.040 didn't stick around. Yeah. On an international level, that's right. Red. Recently, 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.920 Mr Juliana Sans was issued the red notice, which means 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.040 you are wanted and it's sort of like a worldwide 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:47.000 a PB. You gotta keep that. You print it out 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.240 and put it on your wall. What a red inner 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.879 pol notice on you? Oh yeah, I got you. Although 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.680 although Sane probably wasn't too fond of his I'll bet 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.560 he kept his you think. I'll bet he's one of 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.679 the few who did. With photoshop though, I mean, you 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.240 can never tell if it's real or not. Like you 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.160 or I could make our own. I maybe we should 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.520 do that. Why not. I have a feeling one's coming 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.200 our way. Uh. Interpoll notice, which is not a color. 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.760 That was scary to me because it was the only 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.199 one that's not a color. Unless the new one you 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:20.959 talked about is not a color, It's okay. The Interpol 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:25.400 notice means, um uh, it's a U n UH Security 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:31.160 Council Special noticed, meaning groups of individuals involved with al 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.640 Qaeda or the Taliban or at work. Yeah, people who 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.919 have UN sanctions on them. Um. Then there's now the 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.520 Purple notice, which, um basically it's kind of like a 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.000 green notice. It's like, hey, be aware of this kind 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.240 of stuff that's going on, but it's about what people 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.520 are doing, like international criminal trends. Like do you remember 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.560 I think they were like pen guns. There was like 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.040 just a few years back, there was like a pen 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.480 that could shoot and it was very low powered. But 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.400 I think inter Poll sent out a notice on this, like, hey, 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.320 you guys need to be aware that this thing's out 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.600 there I saw in the movie. Okay, well, inter Poll 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:12.000 probably inspired the writer. Interesting, it was a comedy too. 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.920 I guarantee inter Poll inspired the writer. It was pretty funny. 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.080 It was Fred fred Ward, Fred Warder, Fred Willard, fred 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:25.199 Ward Okay, the time writer Remo Williams. Yeah, he had 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:26.880 a he had a pin gun and shot at dude 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:28.840 in the neck. It was kind of funny. What movie 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:33.159 was it, Uh, thirty Minutes or less with Danny McBride 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.680 and uh, it was good. The guy who played Facebook, 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:40.560 he played Facebook, Mark Zucker, Yeah, the Jesse Eisenberg. They 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:43.640 were both in that. It was sort of funny but 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:46.000 not highly recommended. But that scene was funny because Fred 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:47.760 Willards like, you think it's a pen and all of 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:49.120 a sudden need to shoot this stude in the neck 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:53.400 with it. That's funny. Um, that's high comedy. Yeah, it 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.200 was very much. Um. I watched Inside Man again last night. 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.480 That's such a good movie. Which one is that Spike 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:04.480 Lee heist movie with Clive Owens that dude really Yeah, 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.159 you hadn't seen it either. I made her watch you 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:07.760 last night. She's like, this is a good movie. That's 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.320 one of the few Spike Lea movies. I have not 0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.840 seen It's see that, all right, have you seen? Yeah, 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.000 that's a good one too. I think inside Man hasn't 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.560 beaten all right. So yeah, Purple is just basically like 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:24.840 information on new types of criminal activity that people need 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.280 to be made aware of, Like pen guns, got you 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:29.960 and fred Ward, But the pen gun was a real warning. 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.680 We're a real purple warning. Notice, I don't know, I'm 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:36.520 just assuming I'm using for example, got So let's talk 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.760 about the history of inter poll Chuck. It has a strange, 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:44.880 tumultuous history that closely follows the tumult of the twentieth 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:46.960 century if you ask me. Yeah, and Ed kind of 0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.880 breeze right over the whole Nazi part of it. Yeah, 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.800 there's been a lot of controversy over that. Actually, oh yeah, 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:58.800 why are they accused of colluding? Well, let's back up. 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.040 They were formed and being in Austria, uh, during World 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.280 War two. Ed says they were interrupted when the Nazis 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:10.040 took control, deposed the Secretary General, moved to Berlin for 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.800 a short time, but then after the war everything was rebuilt. 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:14.880 They moved to Paris, and that's kind of all he said. 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:19.000 I looked a little further into it, and it's pretty uh, 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.679 pretty controversial those years UM when it was under Nazi 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:27.800 rule obviously, Uh, they shared headquarters with the Gestapo, officially 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:32.920 operated UM as a division within the Nazi Security Police, 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:38.480 and to Nazi war criminals were the agency's presidents during 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:46.119 the wartime. Plus they overspent on Christmas parties. Uh. And 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.200 then this I read a Times article and some of 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:52.400 the comments back to the editorial said, you guys even 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.840 kind of whitewashed it because after the war they refused 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:58.920 to take part in the sixties and seventies in any 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:05.040 of the Nazi war crime hunting war criminal hunts. Crazy. Uh, wow, 0:22:05.080 --> 0:22:08.360 I had no idea, Chuck, I'm really glad you did this. Yeah. 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.200 And then uh, in nineteen sixty eight, their president uh 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:16.280 to seventy two was Paul Dickkopp, and he was an 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:21.160 s S officer. No, he was and remained president despite 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:23.800 them finding out about this and knowing about this, And 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.640 that was pretty controversial too. Jeez, I'll bet you don't 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:31.720 usually want Nazis leading your organization former Nazis either, No, 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:34.080 you know what I'm saying. Once a Nazi, always a 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:39.080 Nazi in my opinion, Well, dip cop was the he 0:22:39.200 --> 0:22:43.399 was that the president for whatever four years. Yeah, and 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:47.280 a lot of people, a lot of people say interpoll 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:52.240 is like run without oversight and they have all this access, 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:54.960 but no one has access to their real like how 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:58.200 they do things the opposite of how grab Minowski tells it. Yeah, 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.280 it's a little more controversial than I thought once start 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.080 poking around. Well, I I guess it was probably the 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:05.320 VHS tapes that started to bring them out of the 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:09.280 dark and into uh, I guess a brighter role. Remember 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.960 the Interpol warning on old video cassettes? Now was that interval? 0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:15.680 Oh yeah, Now it's like an FBI warring but before 0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:17.080 and every once in a while you'll still see it 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:22.280 like Interpol warning. It's again like copyright theft and piracy. Um. 0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:25.840 But yeah, apparently they now are they've shed themselves of 0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:30.920 Nazis and have a third term Secretary General who's busting 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:36.320 pedophiles in Amsterdam. And did you pretty I think that's good. 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:39.879 I'm saying, oh yeah, yeah, they they've apparently tried to 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.560 clean up their image a lot since those days. It's crazy, man, um. 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.240 And you did you hear about the Executive Order Obama 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:50.400 signed in oh nine. It was pretty controversial among conservatives 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:56.040 because little background. The International Organization and Immunities Act in 0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.879 was signed in the law, and basically that meant the 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:04.919 president could say certain organizations, international organizations that worked in 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:08.520 the US are exempted from certain things like taxes, search 0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.199 and sees or laws. And pretty much every president has 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:13.639 said you can be a part of this, like the 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:21.200 Red Cross Reagan UH in nine three included interpoll um 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:25.600 as part of that group songs like four different sections 0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:30.640 dealing with property taxes, social security, federal taxes, customs duties, 0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:37.040 and UH having property and assets searched and confiscated. Then 0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:41.760 in nine Obama said those four things now you're immune 0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:45.400 from as well, so you have full immunity interpoll does 0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:49.560 in the United States from these things. And conservatives got 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:51.920 up in arms about, you know, the fact that Obama 0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:54.359 had signed this. They tend to get up in our 0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:59.520 fund anything and signed like his his dinner check here. UH. 0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:02.240 But then people rallied back and said, well, you know, 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:05.480 I thought you wanted someone tough on crime, and he's 0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:09.360 basically saying interpoll has more rights to do their thing 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:11.840
