excellent that's the kind of fun we want to have it's a fantasy world with good friends rock'n'roll and pretty girls wayne's world show that public access can be a place where average normal people can create t v shows and have a great time and build an audience and make lots of money well the make money part that's not likely to happen but you can sure have a lot of fun and that was the way public access was twenty thirty years ago and in some places public access is still available for anyone who has anything to say on any subject and wants to create a t v show and have that show play on local cable t v and now also on the internet seattle community media besides being on comcast channel seventy seven throughout king county so seattle redmond bellevue red and the whole of king county it's also shown on the internet archive all the shows get broadcast there and many of them are also going to be on perhaps some on you tube so it's not just cable access anymore it's social media and other internet locations the real big deal lately is seattle community media is now on so that means it's not just a local audience it is really a national audience through anyone who has a roku player and puts seattle community media as one of their favorites and watches it so you can build an audience and it's a good opportunity for any producer who wants to ask something to say either something fun or something serious which ever i personally i'm hoping some smart millennialists will take up this opportunity and create something in seattle we're really lucky to have this kind of public access where anyone can come in and produce something and there's a wide variety of shows on c l a community media but there's plenty of room for more plenty of opportunity in many places public access has kind of devolved it's moved into government control like government stations government channels or education channels attached to some school or college those particular channels the government channels and the channels attached to colleges and schools are not likely to allow something like wayne's world to be produced or something that's outside the norm whereas the shows on public access as public access where anyone can walk in got gays for jesus you got the right wing fringe crazy people you got left wing fringe crazy people conspiracy theorists religious programming music programming anything you want there's and there's not the restriction on the other access channels and there's also not restrictions that are lining up behind you tube and facebook more and more restrictions those social media become more paranoid and more worried about lawyers that's what it comes down to worried about lawyers as long as you're within community standards which is no live x rated sex in the middle of the day as long as you can deal with that and keep it within some reasonable bounds you can do what ever you want it's a great opportunity with the rise of you tube and vimy oh public access television probably lost a lot of appeal and producers who might have been on public access moved she would produce podcasts and other things in those other forums  and they continue to do so and that continues to be popular for various reasons some of them see the opportunity to make money now that youtube is google ised the big problem with those venues video is there is so much content there any new content any new producer can really struggle to find an audience and end up having ten views or one hundred view when they really want a thousand views or ten thousand views or a million views the audiences both on youtube and vibrio are now channeled into specific areas and again the whole idea is to make money there advertising there the whole idea of advertising is to get people to buy stuff so it's become just like commercial television or cable or direct t v where it's the ad money that's important the content is not important free speech is not important free expression is not important truly creative content is not important what's important is selling people stuff and again the whole idea is to make money there's advertising there the whole idea of advertising is to get people to buy stuff so it's become just like commercial television or cable or direct t v where it's the ad money that's important the content is not important free speech is not important free expression is not a word truly creative content is not important what's important is selling people stuff it's for those reasons that i see public access television as an essential place an essential forum for free speech free creative action free expression of all kinds for whatever he have to say left right in between far far fringe crazy wacko you can do it here and it's important that you do it here so that we don't start thinking there's only two points of view there is a democratic point of view on the republican point of view there can't possibly be any other points of view besides those two points of view commercial broadcasting whether it's internet satellite cable when they're trying to sell you stuff when they're trying to reduce everything down to somebody so that you only have two points of view this point of view or that point of view and you're supposed to vote on things reality is supposed to be reduced to those simple simple things that a person can vote on or buy that's no way to live for these reasons public access is still essential to free speech and free expression and creative talent it's a venue that isn't commercialized that isn't reduction area that is reducing everything down to two points of view the democratic view the republican view commercial broadcasting leads people to believe that it's a simple easily defined black and white reality it's nothing like that we know it's nothing like that this is the reality the reality of many many points of view all valid all relevant all we're thinking about i say all this because particularly malarial producers literally it's as easy as picking up your  phone and recording what you have on your mind and what your friends have on your mind editing that a bit and if they get down to twenty eight minutes they can be put on television and put on the internet and put on roku so you can build an audience so you can say what you need to say little bit and you know you pump up the tire and you push it out of the weeds and you find a hill or a bunch of strong body heat and you can get this car going whether it has a dead battery or not because all you had to do was put the card this is what cars could do and i was lucky because there were a lot of cars parked in the w what we have here is is a situation ok so this is we're in we're in position one so this is the battery that's charging so what's this up to twenty seven point three so we're definitely charging and of course the lights are getting brighter and so what this machine is it's john always so this isn't the motor how many heated hearing that accelerating the less you give it so it has to be tied to a generator that clearly isn't going to take any of this mechanical energy out of it because there's almost none there in the first place so  so only this thing can only operate with this zero drag generator operation ok and so that's what the lights are running on ok every time a magnet goes past one of these co and by the way we're running three quarters of an inch gap on the generator going on right now which means we haven't even started getting anything out of it's ok but i just wanted to demonstrate that this this here is generated so that the and you can clearly i mean even if this was a standard generator this amount of electricity one slow this thing down much anyway so i can't i can't prove to you that this thing's operating you know in a in a zero drag the government did not care about collateral damage in fact the government preferred collateral damage as a source of terror over its citizens as a correction diplomats made it clear while sipping  politely isis such state sponsored terror would bring an end to all the correct c and financial support and trade relations the diplomats also dangled the care future high tech arms sales which would allow the government within a few days without any collateral damage and for quote tell the force policy it was to avoid chair to force kills or obsolete to avoid chair because terror was bad for business profit fell dramatically on any planet where terror became the only way a ruling government could keep its people in line the emperor was strongly considering aid to the rebels because culture obsolete was too stubborn and self satisfied to become useful business partners the emperor suspected that is near would be more practical eager and valuable simply because he was desperate and poor when i met as near i knew within five minutes he was not interested in any of the agendas of emperor quote all the fourth and had no intention of handing over his planet to anyone when he saw us eldoret standing there in full military gear smiling at him all her sexy curves covered up he looked at me and said dad brother you even brought in l true z and woman young woman i must say you are the most beautiful thing i have ever seen but even if you married me and had children with me and call me your sweet sugar daddy i would have no interest in any aid from sick or x or any representative of the carex and i thought to myself is this going to be the sum total of my report to captain trask and his report to emperor coach of the fourth well not at all over the next few days cell breath and i had long conversations with his near about his vision for the future of culture on how he wished to restructure the government and we talked about his views on intergalactic relations relations with the sick rexy an empire and other empires frankly he thought empires  useful for stability and trade but for nothing else in his view the usual histories of empires is the enslavement of other people and then the enslavement of their own people centuries under the rule of any tiny elite that elite which is usually less than zero point zero zero one percent of the entire population that small group and controlling all the wealth of hundreds of planets and the quality of life for individual citizens billions of individual citizens declined sharply from one generation to the next as the elite sucks more and more life out of the civilization stability and trade for a century or t were not a reasonable exchange for the suffering of billions of people the enslavement of billions of people citizens and non citizens and the destruction of any truly worthwhile civilization as near preferred the political structure of free states loosely organized into federations each state autonomy us choosing its own political ideology without interference from the other members of the federation this set up could also provide stability and trade without allowing any elite to control the destiny of billions and billions of people as near said i know some planets will sprout dictators and citizens will suffer for it if people of any world allow dictator to lead them well they deserve what they get people like myself and my rebels we choose whether or not the elite can push us around no rational person believes powerful men and women will willingly give up their power the most important choice for rebel is how to proceed how he wishes to create change shooting all the rich people in the head never works new rich people spring up to replace them sometimes it's the rebels themselves who become the new rich people and killing thousands or millions of citizens and telling those citizens that these large quantities of death are good for them that is also a bad plan i choose to work with the truth not with propaganda i know to sell breast size group warman even tearful listening to his near her grandfather emperor quote all the fourth never talk like this not of the emperor's senators or advisors talk like this obvious concern for the lives of average citizens was never heard in the halls of the capitol on desire poetic speeches were constantly being written to convince billions of people their leaders truly cared about them but the leaders cared only to the extent that the citizens continue to generate corporate profits and tax money beyond that truthfully common citizens were a nuisance each new generation has to be trained for obedience and loyalty to their empire each new generation as a new crop of rebels to put down from any modern emperors point of view it would be far easier to replace entire population planets with machines machines can be programmed much more effectively than free thinking beings human or otherwise free thinkers get in the way of profits free thinkers get in the way of taxes and they're always whining about this or that in significant social justice emperor quote tell the fourth often said social justice is not starving to death anyone who expects more than that is a fool sell breath remember her grandfather's exact words he had told her that when she was eight years old when she asked him why he had ordered the execution of two hundred political opponents i enjoyed the fact that as ne actions matched his words from the beginning of the revolution on celts or on as near planned his actions precisely carefully carefully building public support putting few lives at risk and hitting the government w stealing the government's money so in mark niekro and many well written speeches poetic speeches given by quote tell the fourth he tells his people that he feels personally responsible for the physical survival of tens of billions of people in five galaxies the truth is when some small planet in some backwater star system falls into economic decline and the small people on the small planet begin to starve to death  glorious and supreme leader always sends out a star for it or perhaps to filled with rum cakes if the planet has any useful mineral deposits he will also send out a mining ship and a gunboat to protect the mining ship when captain trask retired i became captain of our starship aurora bliss i was then thirty two years old and already graying at the temples my thick black wavy hair was greatly admired by females of four species but my curly sideburns had become salt and pepper causing one altruism woman to comment mostly my sweet darling rosie why do you waste the best years of your life trotting about the five galaxies you could be here with me among my pools and gardens i see only once every three or four years we have not even had one thousand orgasms together i will not be your legal concubine until we reach one thousand orgasms and we have four hundred fifty three to go do you want me to be left destitute when you expire on some distant planet how would i live without a starship sailor's concubine pension i will not always be the beauty i am now needless to say i doubt that girl a few weeks later and now don't even remember her name but she had a point why do i try to about the five galaxies in my crisp turquoise any women or fancy of our emperor our glorious and supreme leader quote tell the fourth i signed on to get a good paycheck to travel among the stars i have no agendas other than earning reasonable pay for reasonable work and having some fun now and then on various exotic planets those recruiting videos sucked me right in and once in the navy i found i liked the work and enjoyed the company of good men upper management nonsense really had little to do with the daily operations of the aurora bliss as a crewman and now as a captain i became loyal to my crew and dedicated to the smooth efficient safe and reliable operation of my ship the larger agendas were never as important as the individual people around me and the current tasks at hand my personal actions in my job as captain of the aurora bliss and vance or postpone the self destruction of the planets i visit on culture on captain trask deliberately deceived his and deliberately misinformed emperor quote all the fourth specifically to allow the people of culture on a free choice to decide the future of their world the leadership of the imperial navy discovered that deception  perhaps forty or fifty years later after captain trask death and that top secret report was buried deep and forgotten the imperial navy can never publicly announce their captains sometimes tell big lies and make big decisions against all orders regardless of captain trask's insubordination captain trask became my personal hero as an example of a man who made a personal moral choice risking his own skin for the sake of millions of people the millions of people on calderon this is the challenge any moral person faces working in business or working in government when the ruling elite are hell bent on stealing public resources and have specific agendas to turn millions or billions of people into economic slaves the richest point zero zero one percent the close friends and supporters of emperor quote all the fourth always create laws and government policies to make sure the wealth of five galaxies is turned into cash and that cash is moved into the bank accounts of the richest point zero zero one percent from their point of view there is no reason to be a member of the richest point zero zero one percent if one cannot control the cash flow controlling the cash flow usually becomes the primary reason for their existence without that specific goal the super rich would not know what to do with their lives my most memorable mission during my first few years as captain of the bliss was serving as a gunship protecting the humanitarian vessel open hands crusader this vessel was the three mile long flagship of the guilty philanthropies traveling to desperate places within the five galaxies of the sicker axion empire the present mission was to the agricultural and seaport resort planet called le tour this world known throughout the empire for its exotic fruits and fine coffee had fallen into poverty and global starvation eight years of world wide drought had decimated the farms and shrunk the freshwater lakes and rivers to a trickle a population of five billion people were starving to death emperor quote tell the fourth's first inclination was to send out a run k crater and perhaps a mining ship but his geologist said there was nothing worth mining on the tour to quote tells younger brother frankie had a better idea in a private conversation with the emperor while they were sitting in the gardens of perpetual lust and enlighten bobo you really shouldn't send out the cake ship some people feel insulted by that and what we really want is absolute and complete cooperation from the locals what do you have in mind repl to things bobo truly amazing and wonderful opportunities him for a quote on the fourth rolled his eyes having heard these words before from is all talk and no action little brother frankie continued with enthusiasm surely we can make immense profits on the tour of my own real estate firm wants to develop the pristine beaches hundreds of miles of beaches on crystal clear tropical oceans latour could be the next big resort planet luxury hotels casinos and the finest brothels in the galaxy coattails eyes lit up yes tell me more frankie continued in addition to all that i've been talking with gil dates he's planning a crusade on the tour he is already broadcasting the crusade and soliciting donations the bates philanthropies are focusing on the farming regions rebuilding the intergalactic produce export trade creating massive irrigation systems in one thousand square kilometers of land bates plans to start with food and water distribution centers to get five million people back on their feet oh i like the sound of that i often use that technique myself the emperor paused i often use that technique as a precursor to global colonization it is very effective huge populations always love extraterrestrial invaders who keep the people from starving to death it gets better bobo they'd say is paying for that whole crusade and we can follow up writing the tide of good will if you speak to him i'm sure we can make a joint venture i will build up support on the coast while he works the interior ok frankie thank you i will be glad to meet with mr gill bates my first survey of planet of the tour showed that the remaining governments on the planet had degenerated into random bands of military thugs holding little control over any large group or over any large territory they consider themselves the legitimate leaders those failed governments referred to other power groups on the tour as terrorists and the one who did not agree with the policies or the actions of the failed governments were considered terrorists the failed government the thugs and the terrorists were the two power factions in play on with touro the population of the planet did not have any loyalty to any power group all they wanted was a few good meals and some water to drink all they wanted was not to starve to death no existing power group on the tour offered ongoing supplies of food and water to the entire population for this reason the open hands crusader and the philanthropist gil dates were cheered and welcomed with great enthusiasm gil bates himself made the twenty eight light year hyperspace journey to oversee food distribution and the initial phases of the irrigation projects it is important to understand the significance of any personal appearance by gil bates gill bates was one of the wealthiest men in the five galaxy he made give zillions of dollars by inventing a pharmaceutical generally known as the gill pill this pill made a temporary genetic mutation in mammal lungs allowing any mammal to breathe underwater one pill allows a human to breathe underwater for six months intelligent cetaceans the dolphins and whales also found the gill pill very useful sperm whale could now stay down for two days instead of seventy to ninety minutes smart cetaceans are able to get a lot more done when they don't have the nuisance of breathing air the guilt pill  before today no one this rich or famous had ever visited la tour and every one was grateful to be fed the reason we needed the gunboat was mathematical gilday its goal was to feed five million farmers and this left more than four point five billion people hungry still desperate a significant percentage of the non farmers on the  tour had weapons and were led by terrorists or by failed government leaders they also wanted food and water from the moment we landed on the tour we needed to survey a wide perimeter to protect the farmlands the farmers the open hands crusader and provide personal protection for gail they i was not at all pleased to play bodyguard to this humanitarian project which meant i would have to shoot at starving people be that as it may i designed various non lethal ways to keep the growing army of poor and desperate people away from the generous work of the starship open hands crusader our first location was on a big day fifteen hundred kilometers north of the equator a subtropical climate with a range of mountains close by the town of two million people was called co
