Antarctica, a continent heavily restricted by international treaties and often obscured from public view, is presented not just as an icy wasteland but as a place of profound mystery, holding potential secrets, advanced technologies, and immense natural resources that fuel numerous theories about its true significance.

There is a place on Earth that you're
not allowed to go to. A continent that
is larger than the United States and
Mexico combined where stepping foot
there without permission can land you in
prison can get you a good ass whooping.
It's not a military base. It's not a
government facility. It's an entire
continent. It's Antarctica. And most
people think it's just ice and penguins,
empty, worthless. What? But if that's
true, why does it cost tens of thousands
of dollars and months of permits to just
visit there? Why is it the only place on
Earth that is governed by an
international treaty signed by 58
nations? Me not being one of them. Why
are vast sections of it blurred out on
Google Earth? Why is that? Something is
not adding up here. I stink. I mean, I
smell something that stinks. For over a
century, explorers could visit
Antarctica freely. Scientists mapped its
coastlines, governments claimed
territories, and even tourists just took
expeditions there to explore. Then
suddenly in 1959, everything changed.
The Antarctic Treaty locked down the
entire continent under the most
restrictive international agreement in
human history. They say it's to keep you
safe cuz you'll die if you go there. But
locking down the entire continent, that
doesn't really make a lot of sense, man.
That's overkill. That's [ __ ] All
right, homie. Harry the rat says that's
[ __ ] Whatever's down there, whether
it be treasure, technology, or some kind
of truth that we're not ready for.
Someone decided that the rest of us
don't get to know. Uh we don't get to
know. I don't get to know. I get to
speculate and I get to talk about it and
have a lot of fun talking about it. But,
you know, you you just watch this video.
Anyways, buckle up. We're prying open
the coldest lock box on Earth, Antarctica.
First, let's start with mindbending
facts. Okay, we're going to be talking
about speculative conspiracies in the
next chapter. This one is facts that
seem like speculative conspiracies. In
1929, workers cleaning out an old
Turkish palace made a bizarre discovery.
Hidden in the archives was a map drawn
in 1513 by Admiral Perry Ree. You've
probably heard of him. is very famous.
It's not a obscure conspiracy document
that's dated somewhere when it's not
supposed to be dated and all that. It's
it's real. It's in a museum and it shows
something impossible. Okay. It shows the
coast of Antarctica 300 years before
anyone supposedly discovered it. How in
the is that possible? The map doesn't
just show that a southern continent
exists. It shows the actual coastline of
Antarctica accurate to within miles.
Well, what's the big deal about that?
The coastline has been buried under ice
for millions of years. No one in 1513
should have known what it looked like or
how to find out what it looked like.
Perry Ree noted on the map itself that
he compiled it from ancient sources,
some dating back to the 4th century BC,
which is a long, long time ago. So,
that's really confusing. And in 1960,
the US Air Force analyzed the map and
confirmed that its geographical details
match seismic surveys of the actual
bedrock beneath Antarctica's ice sheet.
How did they know that? I don't know.
I'm asking you. Do you know? Are you a
science person? Get in on my comment
section. So, think about what that means
for all of us. Someone thousands of
years ago mapped Antarctica when it was
covered in ice. Someone with technology
to survey an entire continent from
above. It seems like at least unless
they had one of those balls from
Waterorld and they got real d deep down
in the in the ocean and he was like or
whatever and then there was a squid.
Fortunately, it gets even more strange
and bizarre. The Aronteus Fenus map from
1531, not 1513, the Perry Reese map.
This is a completely different one. It
shows even more detail of the southern
land recently discovered rivers,
mountain ranges, coastlines, a swastika.
Why' they put a swastika on that? That
seems odd. We'll find out later in
chapter 2. With some of these
geographical markers matching the hidden
topography beneath miles of ice that
modern scientists only discovered with
ground penetrating radar in the '9s.
How? Now, critics, there are critics of
everything. They say it's a coincidence.
It's a coincidental resemblance to a
mythical continent that does not exist.
Or orinas, if that is his real name, was
just a goofy goober. Which that's
possible to be honest. It kind of makes
sense. people were really good at making
[ __ ] up. But they do seem to be more
like precise geographical surveys of
landscapes that have been hidden than
they do just made up nonsense like the
Voyage manuscript or something like
that. Anyways, how about Lake Vostto?
There's more. 2 and 1/2 miles beneath
the ice of Antarctica lies a lake the
size of Ontario, which is a province in
Canada. This lake has been cut off from
the surface world for over 15 million
years. I'm going to start referring to
us as surface dwellers in the surface
world. Lake Vostto, not speculative at
all. It's real. Russian scientists spent
20 years drilling a hole to reach it.
They finally broke through in 2012, and
what they found was very enlightening
from a science perspective and and and
how we understand life on Earth. The
lake itself is pristine, untouched. It's
a perfect time capsule from an age when
Antarctica was green and warm. And
that's not a conspiracy. It was at one
point green and warm like
the holy relic. Yeah. The water samples
that they collected from Lake Vosto
contained bacteria that evolved in
complete isolation and developed
survival mechanisms unlike anything else
on Earth because there aren't many
organisms that develop in complete
isolation. Okay? These organisms lived
in total darkness under crushing
pressure with no oxygen and somehow they
thrived for millions of years. How in
the is that even possible? Scientists
discovered at least 17 different species
of microbes in the waters of Lake
Vostto. Some represent entirely new
branches of the tree of life. They feed
on chemicals instead of sunlight. They
transform metals in ways we're still
trying to understand. and they can
survive in conditions that would
instantly kill any surface life from us
weak surface dwellers. Now, this beyond
the secrets of Antarctica has pretty
staggering implications. For example, if
life can exist in Lake Vastto's
impossible environment, life can
probably exist in other impossible
environments like on other planets.
Bing, ring, ding, ding. Lake Vostto is
just one of over 140 subglacial lakes
that have been discovered beneath
Antarctica. We have no idea what is in
the others and we can't access most of
them. You can't get a drill bit that
long. Believe me, I've asked. There
could be entire ecosystems down there
that have evolved separately from
everything we know on Earth in the
surface world for us surface dwellers.
Now, how about the blood falls? These
are real photos. What the is going on?
Oh, these. Don't worry about these.
These are just blood waterfalls emerging
from glaciers. It's just a normal thing,
guys. in Antarctica's McMmero Dry
valleys, which if McMurdo rings a bell,
you've probably seen The Thing. My
favorite movie of all time and my
favorite example of Cosmicor. In this
dry valley, something bleeds from the
ice. The blood falls, as they're called,
look like crimson waterfalls of blood.
They're pouring from a glacier called
the Taylor Glacier, and the red liquid
stains the white ice red. And for over a
century, nobody knew why. They were just
like, "That's probably hell down there."
But it isn't hell. It's somehow actually
more strange than that. It is ancient
seawater that's been trapped beneath the
glacier for 5 million years. It's just
leaking out of it and it's red. And it
isn't just old salt water. It's got
living things in it. Now, the red color
comes from iron oxide. But the iron
oxide isn't occurring from the oxidation
of iron in the normal process. It's
being produced by bacteria. Those
bacteria I mentioned that have strange
interactions with metal, they eat the
metal. They feed on the metal and then
they produce iron oxide. How? Why? What
in the heck? Oh, these little rascals
have also been sealed in complete
darkness for millions of years with no
sunlight, no oxygen, and no connection
to the surface world. But and somehow
they've just survived down there and
created their own ecosystem where they
can transform iron into sulfur compounds
and use that for energy. the process by
which they're doing this, scientists are
still trying to understand. To be fair,
they're really far away and hard to get
to. So, it makes sense as to why it's so
difficult. So, yeah, that's
unbelievable. These things use sulfur
and iron to live, and they don't use the
sun like everything else that lives.
They're cheosynthetic extreophiles is
what they're actually called. If you
want to Google those words, I promise
you won't get put on any lists.
I said that. I said I made it plural. I
said lists. Lists. Lists. Lists. Okay,
that's right. Lists. Lists. Lists. No.
Lists. I can't say that anymore.
I don't like that. So, yeah. A little
blood coming out of the ground. No big
deal. Scientists have also detected
massive geothermal activity beneath
Antarctica that doesn't match any
geological model of the continent. As
well, published research shows that heat
flux near the South Pole measuring twice
the expected values. Now, that might not
sound that dramatic, but it does
represent millions of watts of
unexplained energy generation. Is it
those little extreophile chemosynthetic
fellas chewing on sulfur and iron? Who
the knows? Something is producing
massive amounts of heat deep beneath the
ice, creating vast underground hot water
systems and caverns that we're only
beginning to map. Ground penetrating
radar and geological surveys have
revealed enormous voids beneath the
Antarctica ice sheet. Not small air
pockets, but cavities large enough to
contain entire cities. And they're not
natural formations. Halo reference.
They're spaces that have been carved out
by sustained heat sources that shouldn't
exist according to our current
understanding of Antarctic geology. This
cave is not a natural formation. The
heat signatures don't match volcanic
activity, radioactive decay, or any
other known geothermal process. They're
too large, too organized, and too
purposeful to be honest. Whatever is
generating these things, this heat, it's
been active for a very long time, and
it's quietly reshaping the subworld,
Antarctica, from below. Okay, guys,
that's that's a bit conspiratorial, but
something is going on in there, and we
don't really know exactly what it is cuz
it's so far away and so deep down there.
And recent satellite measurements show
that ice is melting from underneath at
an accelerating rate, which isn't due to
climate change. It's from an internal
heat source that science is having a
difficult time explaining, which by the
way is how science works. That's very
normal. Or it's cuz it's an alien under
there. What the Haven't you seen the
Haven't you seen uh the thing?
Some pretty odd things going on in
Antarctica. Let's be real. I think I
might go to check it out. Just kidding.
So, the purpose of act one was to show
you some very interesting things in
regard to Antarctica that are completely
real and we have a hard time explaining.
Act two is more of that, but like a lot
crazier. Between 1938 and 1939, Nazi
Germany conducted a massive expedition
to Antarctica. And they weren't there
for the scenery. They were there for the Vril.
Vril.
They were on their way to Hyperoreia.
This operation was led by Captain Alfred
Richard. He led it aboard the ship, the
Schwabin Land. Okay, guys, you've
probably heard of Schwabin Land. These
fellas on this expedition systematically
mapped over 350,000
square kilometers of Antarctic
territory, flying reconnaissance
missions, dropping thousands of metal
Nazi markers bearing swastikas to claim
the land for the Third Reich.
land. Newlandia.
They called this area that they put
their little markers down on New
Schwabin land or New Zabia, which is a
region in southern Germany and Bavaria.
I'm pretty sure it's where my family's
from. All right, guys. Bavaria. And this
wasn't a small scientific expedition. It
was a territorial conquest. The Nazis
big into territorial conquests. So why
were the Nazis up in Nvabin land? They
were there officially to establish
whailing stations and to obviously just
secure more territory for Germany. But
some people theorize they may have built
something much darker around these
documented facts. The theory is that the
Nazis discovered warm water areas heated
by geothermal vents and established a
secret base called base 211. That's the
theory. And according to this theory,
base 211 became a refuge for highranking
Nazis after the defeat of Germany in
1945. A development center for advanced
technology, including the vrillpowered
flying bell, the acorn. Have you seen
this? Have you seen this? I haven't seen
it, but I've seen of it. I've seen it
around or whatever. This is what people
believe base 211 looked like. A secret
Nazi hideway in Antarctica or Nvabin
land. All right. Is it real? I'm not
sure. We do know that they went up
there. Okay. We do know that. And they
put their little things. I believe some
of them are still up there. There is
more documented evidence post war, by
the way, of yubot and submarines turning
up where they shouldn't necessarily have
been. And some people believe that they
stopped in Antarctica on the way to
Argentina. I don't know. It's it's it's
a pretty deep rabbit hole. This video is
more just about Antarctica. Now, on to
postwar. In 1946, just one year after
the Nazi German surrender, the United
States launched Operation High Jump
under Admiral Richard Eird. I've talked
about this multiple times on my channel,
and everybody knows this, and most
people have heard of this story. There
was a a fairly large scientific
expedition, a massive military operation
involving 4,700 personnel, 13 ships, 33
aircraft, doing what was officially
described as a training exercise that
was just remarkably wellarmed. The
operation was planned to last 8 months,
but it ended abruptly after just 8
weeks. Official reports site harsh
weather conditions and equipment
failures, but the sudden termination of
something so large scale has fueled uh
decades of speculation. the theory and
people often cite alleged statements by
Admiral Richard Eird. Okay, they say he
encountered hostile forces or advanced
aircraft. There's a very famous story of
him, you know, being taken by UFO into
the middle of the earth into the hollow
earth and speaking to white Nordic
aliens that had swastikas all around
them and saying, "If you can't do the
it's over. You need to be a good guy."
So, Operation High Jump, totally real,
very strange, but it's what people often
cite in statements by Admiral Bird after
the event. That is what the real mystery
is. There is allegedly a secret journal,
a secret diary that details Admiral
Bird's encounter with white Nordic
aliens that took him into the hollow
Earth that was only accessible through
Antarctica. Beautiful green trees, green
grass, blue skies. better something for
the day I die with big white tall
aliens, long beautiful hair, and there's
just swastikas everywhere. And they say
telepathically, of course, do not use
nuclear bombs. We are not Nazis. We are
aliens. We are good guys. And stuff.
People attribute that to him. You know,
there's apparently a secret diary, but a
lot of this stuff appears to be just
entirely fabricated to be honest. But
that is the story. Now, something
incredible was documented during
Operation Hydron. On January 30th, 1947,
Lieutenant Commander David Bunger,
pretty cool name, was flying a
reconnaissance mission when he spotted
something that defied traditional
explanation of the Antarctic geography.
A vast area of ice-free land with blue
and green lakes in the middle of
Antarctica. Not trees necessarily, but a
significant discovery nonetheless. This
discovery was so significant that
Admiral Bird himself called it by far
the most important discovery of the
expedition. That's before they gave up
after eight weeks. Of course, Bunger
landed his sea plane on one of the lakes
and the water temperature was 38°
Fahrenheit, which is remarkably warm for
Antarctica. And the lakes were filled
with colored algae and the surrounding
area contained flowing water in a
landscape that none of them had ever
really seen before. And Bird described
it as looking like a landscape on
another planet. Here's pictures of it.
So, it's called Bunger Oasis. It's a
real documented photographed area and it
has a warm ice free zone. One of the
very few in Antarctica. So that's really
interesting. Now imagine them getting
sucked into a hole and their sea plane
gets redirected by a you know a flying
disc and then there's white people with
long hair and they're saying
or whatever the they'd say. How about
what looks like pyramids up there?
Right. Very strange. Modern satellite
imagery has revealed some intriguing
features across Antarctica. Users of
Google Earth have documented what
appears to be pyramids, geometric
structures, formations 180 ft wide by
230 ft tall with straight surfaces that
look artificial. Very strange things to
see in an ice continent. Plus, the
formations seem to remain ice-free in
spite of Antarctic conditions. They're
too regular and too geometric to be
natural formations. And unfortunately,
they're too isolated and inaccessible to
be investigated properly, especially not
by the public, me or you. Something also
disturbing is when people try to verify
the coordinates of these formations
online, they often find the locations
have been removed, the images have been
removed. Just across the board,
information has been removed from public
access or has been digitally obscured
when it comes to these geometric things
in Antarctica. Also, Antarctica has
become a bit of a hot spot for UFO
sightings. Research station personnel,
pilots, and tourists have all reported
unusual phenomena, which is just kind of
normal now. Discshaped objects emerging
from the ice, lights moving at
impossible speeds, structured objects
caught on security cameras, things like
that. Bizarre, unexplainable things. In
the world of the Antarctic pyramids and
Antarctic UFOs collides. In 2018, a
Google Earth user claimed to have
discovered what appeared to be a massive
entrance in the Antarctic ice. And when
people tried to verify the location,
they found that the coordinates had been
removed from public access and images of
it had been digitally destroyed. But
luckily, I have one here in this video
probably. I don't know what Tara put up
there. Thank you though, Tara. I really
appreciate it. And aside from that,
scientists have also detected strange
radio signals emanating from beneath the
ice. An experiment called the Antarctic
Impulsive Transit Antenna Experiment
recorded unusual radio bursts coming
from under the ice that don't match any
known natural phenomena. And to this
day, those signals appear to violate our
current scientific understanding of
particle physics. These radio waves are
being detected from below the horizon,
which is not possible to detect radio
signals from below the horizon. I don't
know a lot about particle physics to be
honest, but it's it shouldn't. It's just
bizarre. What the is happening and why
don't more people talk about it? Pardon
me for continuing to connect all these
theories by the way. But the alien
geometry radio theory connects to the
Nazi theory as well. Some geniuses,
theorists proposed that the advanced
technology that was allegedly developed
at base 211 during World War II was
actually reverse engineered from
extraterrestrial crafts. And these
geniuses suggest that Antarctica serves
as a kind of neutral zone where world
governments could interact with alien
civilizations hidden completely from the
public view and beneath the ice.
There isn't really a lot of credible
evidence, but there is consistent
reports of unusual aerial phenomena and
some very unexplained unexpected things.
And it does make sense if you were to
cast aside all doubt. Humans, aliens on
the same planet, let's say, and to
prevent worldwide hysteria, cuz I know
I'd be hysterial if some aliens showed
up. I'd be like, "No,
I'd handle it, dude. I've been prepping
with my little bro here." I would offer
him to them. to prevent hysteria. Just
hang out with them in Antarctica. Just
hang out with him in Antarctica. Just
don't even worry about hanging out with
him like at Trump Tower or whatever the
you know at Mara Lago or Wendy's or some
[ __ ] I don't know, Disneyland.
Hang out with him where nobody can see
and then there will be no problems cuz
no one will see. The public will not
know and it'll all be fine. There's also
the hollow earth theory, which I need to
make an entire video about this because
there's a lot of really interesting subs
stories in and around the hollow earth
that are I mean they're interesting.
Let's be real. They're they're very
interesting. The hollow moon already
talked about that. It's scientifically
explainable. Uh but the most enduring
theory in regard to Antarctica is
probably the hollow earth theory. It's a
theory that suggests our planet contains
a habitable inner world which is
accessible through openings at the
poles. one in the south. It's where
Admiral Bird flew his little suppository
craft in and one at the north. There are
several pieces of evidence that geniuses
point to when discussing the hollow
Earth. Admiral Bird's alleged alien
encounters. Number one, unusual aurora
phenomenon in Antarctica and magnetic
anomalies that can cause navigation
equipment to malfunction and satellite
imagery that shows missing data around
both poles. So, it's like they're hiding
it. Ah, good. I don't want to know about
that [ __ ] I'd rather just be a peeon
and just love my family and stuff. You
know, life ain't that bad. I don't need
to know about aliens. By the way, we
checked the polls are blurry on Google
Earth. There's no it's missing blurred
data. I'm not sure. That's not what
polls look like. I don't assume they
look blurry. Okay. I don't think you go
there and it's all blurred out. There's
a lot of blurred spots on the South and
North Pole. I don't know. I mean, I
guess I know why. Military installation,
whatever. The Who's going to who's who
who going to be like what? There's like
you can see military bases in the United
States and like what? Who? Don't blur
that. You're going to scare me. You're
going to scare the hoes. Now, of course,
scientists explain the blurring as
limitation of satellite orbits, but I
and my fellow geniuses interpret these
gaps as evidence of hidden openings to
the hollow earth and/or conspiracies.
Okay, guys. And the hollow earth isn't
really even a new idea. The Greeks had
the concept of Hades. The Buddhists
believed in Agartha. Human cultures for
a very long time have imagined vast
worlds beneath the feet. Us poor surface
dwellers. And Antarctica with its
unexplored depths beneath miles of ice provides
provides the perfect canvas for this
dream, this hidden world of monsters or
whatever. So the Nazis went to
Antarctica. Operation High Jump really
happened. Satellite imagery shows
missing data on the visual appearance of
Antarctica from the satellite view.
There is things that defy particle
physics and our understanding of it in
terms of uh hearing radio waves. Ding
ding ding ding ding. Lots of weird stuff
going on. There's also the ice wall
theory, which I think deserves its own
video because that is like a uh there's
some I could probably get into contact
with a p I know a pilot who believes
that that's a legit thing who's seen it
apparently allegedly. The scariest part
of all of this to me is the amount of
resources that are contained in the
continent of Antarctica. In 1991, a
bunch of countries signed the Madrid
Protocol. And that protocol banned all
mining in Antarctica until 2048. And
that's just 23 years away. And when that
treaty expires, a vote of 75% of
signatory nations could potentially open
Antarctica up for resource extraction.
So a lot of the ciness and secrecy and
desire to go there makes more sense when
you consider the following. Antarctica
contains an estimated 200 billion
barrels of oil, which is more than Saudi
Arabia. Its mineral wealth includes
gold, platinum, rare earth elements,
neodymium, little tiny alien bacteria
that can turn iron into sulfur and iron
oxide. Plus, coal reserves there dwarf
our existing deposits, and Antarctica
holds 70% of the world's fresh water
locked in ice. It's an unbelievably
valuable source of resources. It's
potentially priceless. So there's the
preventatory measure of the Madrid
protocol and on top of that current
extraction costs make it economically
unviable to utilize Antarctica for
resource extraction because if it was
real, you know, it's going to happen
eventually. But why is there a massive
military presence? Why are there nations
positioning themselves for 2048 if
resources aren't even accessible? Why
the Why is all Why do people care so
much about Antarctica aside from it
being a desolate place and them wanting
to do experiments up there for desolate
stuff? Why? Why? Why not just do it in
my backyard and pay me something? I'll
let you do it if you pay me.
It's not nearly as cold in my backyard.
Just come on.
I'm kind of the Clint Eastwood Squid of
conspiracy theories. You want to know
why? Apparently, the year that Brokeback
Mountain came out, it was reported that
Clint Eastwood hadn't actually seen the
movie. Therefore, he would not vote on
it, which would eventually prevent
Brokeback Mountain from receiving a
nomination for best picture of the year
at the Oscars, you know. And much like
Clint Eastwood, I also don't want to
spend my professional time watching men
kissing. Just kidding. It's my favorite thing.
By the way, it is possible to go to
Antarctica if you want to. If you're not
a military guy or a researcher of some
kind, you can go as a tourist. There are
ways to get there. You're looking at
tens of thousands of dollars minimum,
but the cost to get in isn't the real
barrier. It's the actual permits to get
in. Every commercial operator must work
through a international association of
Antarctica tour operators. And through
that, only 100 people are allowed ashore
at any time from cruise ships. And every
landing site must be pre-approved and
every activity must be monitored. So,
you're allowed to explore Antarctica
about as much as you're allowed to
explore North Korea. Something like
that. You're taking a carefully
choreographed tour of exactly what you
are allowed to see. Now, if you think
you can charter your own expedition,
you'll need permits from your home
country, environmental impact
assessments, proof of insurance that
most companies won't provide with search
and rescue guarantees that are
unbelievably expensive. Antarctica is a
system that is designed to keep average
people out. And it seems like for
reasons that are suspicious and
confusing, not exactly environmental
reasons. The biggest fortress in
Antarctica is not a geometric shape of
aliens or some kind of military base
from the United States. It's the legal
fortress there. Seven nations have
claims on pieces of Antarctica.
Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New
Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
Some of these claims are overlapping
which could cause international
incidents but they don't because of
article 4 of the Antarctic treaty
freezes all territorial disputes as of
the time. You notice that I didn't
mention that America had a claim or Nazi
Germany had a claim or the Russians even
though they're all there. Well, the
Nazis aren't. They're they're gone. It's
because nobody can officially own
Antarctica. But there are seven nations
who claimed it first, who kind of get to
act like they do own it. When it comes
to controlling their sectors, it's a
legal maze. It's it's very confusing.
So, let's say you want to investigate
something in the British Antarctic
territory. You need permission from the
UK, but if the UK doesn't officially own
it because of the treaty, then they
don't really have any control, but they
control access because of their claim,
but other nations don't recognize the
claim because of the treaty. I don't f I
don't understand it. Uh it's very
difficult to understand. You just can't
get permission to go because a
bureaucratic deadlock. Uh it's perfect
for keeping people out. Oh yeah, China's
also there and they've been rapidly
expanding from zero to now five
Antarctic bases just in the last few
decades. They call it research, but it
looks like resource mapping. It's
exactly what they did in uh what they're
doing in Africa. The US operates three
year round stations and flies military
cargo planes to Antarctica regularly.
Russia maintains several bases and
conducts operations that have nothing at
all to do with penguins. They don't
exactly seem like research programs.
It's occupying forces maintaining
strategic positions waiting for 2048
when they can extract resources. It seem
seems like McMurdo base by the way is
the largest research station in
Antarctica. It is operated by Rathon,
which is a defense contractor that's
behind Advanced Weapon Systems. So, why
is the biggest research base in Antarctica
Antarctica
operated by
a defense contractor? I don't and we'll
never know, you know, born secret and
all that. So when someone tells you
Antarctica is off limits for
environmental production, immediately
make fun of them and say, "If so, then
why does the legal framework look
exactly like the framework that you
would want to create if you wanted to
maintain exclusive access to something
incredibly valuable while realistically
being able to keep everyone else locked
out?" Ask them that and do it in like a
mocking voice. Antarctica is not
protected by international law.
Antarctica is controlled by
international law, the globalists. But
unfortunately, if you do make fun of
them, you might have to hear a witty
retort. They're going to say something
like this. Antarctica isn't actually
just another continent. It is a living
climate control system for the entire
planet. Antarctica contains, like the
guy in the video earlier mentioned, 70%
of the world's fresh water locked in
ice. And if that ice were to melt,
global sea levels were to rise. And if
the Antarctic weather were to shift, the
entire planet would feel it. Plus, the
ecosystem in Antarctica is incredibly
fragile. For example, a single footprint
in the wrong place could remain visible
for decades. And the continent hosts
tons of unique microbial communities
that have evolved in isolation for
millions of years, potentially holding
keys to medical breakthroughs that we
haven't even been able to imagine yet,
nor access in any other part of the
world. Of course, it's a valuable area
that governments around the world take
very seriously because they have, you
know, the right things in mind. They
actually want to take care of the
people. And Antarctica has uh
some breakthroughs. They might say that
to you and then you can just hit them
with one of those and then go like this.
Realistically though, even smallcale
human activity can devastate different
colonies of creatures, penguins and
seals for for that matter. Plus, the
introduction of non-native species,
which humans love to do, even
microscopic ones could be catastrophic
for ecosystems that have no natural
defenses. And because Antarctica is so
isolated, it's uh you know, it is that
is very realistic. And when you take
into consideration that Antarctica is
arguably the most hostile environment on
Earth for human survival, I don't even
know about arguably. I think it is. Uh
we're talking temperatures of minus 120°
Fahrenheit and 200 mph winds and
blizzards that last for weeks. The
combination of that extreme cold,
hurricane force wind and complete white
out conditions uh year round can create
situations where rescue of a person can
become impossible. For example, in 2013,
a Russian research vessel was trapped in
ice for 10 days and it required an
international rescue effort that cost
millions of dollars and put dozens and
dozens of lives at risk. And those are
professionals. So imagine if they let
your hungry ass up there. That's not
theoretical. People die in Antarctica
regularly and the logistical challenges
of just operating there are staggering.
So there's plenty of realistic reasons
aside from all the fun ones. So anyways,
think what you will about Antarctica.
There is definitely valid reasons to not
go there. And there is some more
suspicious reasons and mythology and
lore that surrounds it that's very
interesting. And it is inarguable that
Antarctica is incredibly valuable. And
the continent contains billions of
barrels of oil, mineral deposits, and
70% of the world's fresh water. All
incredibly important things. And
important things make governments lie
and do weird [ __ ] So anyways, see you
