S7 E4: 100 Seconds to Midnight: Global Terrorism

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.439
Tired to the same old podcasts every
week. When you're ready for something different,

2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.559
come give us a shot. Greetings, We're Technically a Conversation, a

3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:12.439
podcast for curious people, by curious
people. Every week we take turns sharing

4
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:15.919
a new topic and the other host
has no idea what the topic will be.

5
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.960
Our topics are all over the place, from light and funny to dark

6
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:25.039
and sometimes spooky. We've covered everything
from true crime, historical events and people,

7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.839
pop culture icons, the supernatural and
occult I like that, and legends

8
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:33.560
and folklore my favorite. We're like
the Dollar Tree stuff you should know,

9
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:37.679
except completely different. No matter what
the topic is, we try to make

10
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.159
the episodes funny. Yeah, you
may not want to advertise that our jokes

11
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.159
aren't very good. What are you
talking about? My jokes are fantastic.

12
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.840
Hey, I get paid to laugh
either way. Wait, you get paid.

13
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.039
Check us out at Technically a Conversation
dot com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify,

14
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:55.359
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Shout out to the eleven and a

15
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.759
half people that listen to us on
Google Podcasts. Wait, you said you

16
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.079
were getting paid. My name is
Keely and I host a true crime and

17
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:08.480
paranormal podcast called Missy Mysteries. Misty
Mysteries takes a special focus on unsolved cases

18
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.799
and missing persons cases. All of
my true grim episodes are made and hopes

19
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:17.599
to raise awareness and bring justice to
those who need it most. Most of

20
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:23.159
these episodes are made in partnership or
made with the families of the victims and

21
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.040
missing people. But the podcast is
not always true crime. Sometimes I bring

22
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:33.640
spooky content like conteings, aliens,
encryptids such as the original story of the

23
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.959
Conjuring House, The Life of Eden, Loraine Warren, and Mothman. True

24
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.760
crime and paranormal even cross at times
to make two part episodes like The Bobby

25
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:47.400
Macy Music World, The Lizzie Borden
House, and The Veliska Axe Murder House.

26
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:53.079
Misty Mysteries is ready to be binge
listened to with over fifty episodes anywhere

27
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.040
you get your podcasts, I cannot
wait to keep you company whenever and wherever

28
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:04.120
you like to listen to your podcast. Dark Cast Network, Come on over

29
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.359
to the dark Side. We're really
nice people once you get past the true

30
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:22.159
crime and scary science. Hello and
welcome to Cause of Death one hundred seconds

31
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:28.159
to Midnight. I'm your host,
Jackie Morante. Before we get started,

32
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.400
I'd like to let you know that
I've been speaking with several veterinarians across the

33
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:39.479
country about the atypical canine infectious respiratory
disease complex that is currently moving across the

34
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:45.319
US. I'm going to give you
all the information that's come my way so

35
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.960
far so that you can make a
plan to keep your dogs from getting it.

36
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.080
In all honesty, there's not a
lot of information out there about what

37
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.439
it is, and some of the
information I'm getting is conflicting. New Hampshire

38
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:04.680
has been reporting this disease as far
back as the summer of twenty twenty two,

39
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.159
so it's been around a minute.
Oregon began receiving reports of it in

40
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:15.800
the Portland metro and Williamette Valley areas
in August of this year. There have

41
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:22.439
been around two hundred cases reported in
Oregon to date, and so far,

42
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:28.199
fourteen states have reported cases of this
disease in dogs. California, Colorado,

43
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:35.439
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New

44
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:42.919
Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island,
Vermont, and Washington, and most recently

45
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:50.479
New Mexico. So there's fifteen The
causative agent is still unknown, and while

46
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.840
the cases in Oregon appear to share
a viral etiology, common respiratory testing has

47
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:04.000
been largely negative for viruses. A
few cases have tested positive for Mycoplasma sinos,

48
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.840
but that isn't believed to be the
causative agent of it either. I've

49
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.319
gotten some information from various vets that
this is bacterial and not viral, but

50
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:23.680
either way, it's not responding to
antibiotics or antivirals. The Oregon Department of

51
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:29.360
Agriculture, as well as several other
state veterinary hospitals, have been sampling dogs

52
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.759
who have exhibited symptoms of this disease. This sampling will be paired with PCR

53
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:42.079
testing using generic primers, virus isolation, and rapid whole genome sequencing. With

54
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.480
any luck, this will identify the
disease and allow researchers to begin working on

55
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:54.319
a cure. There are three general
categories that the cases reported fall into.

56
00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:00.839
Chronic mild to moderate tracheobronchitis with a
prolonged ration of six to eight weeks or

57
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:10.319
longer, chronic pneumonia and acute pneumonia
that rapidly become severe and can often be

58
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:16.759
fatal within twenty four to thirty six
hours. These conditions have been minimally responsive

59
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:26.120
to antibiotics at best, and completely
unresponsive to antibiotics at the worst. Outbreaks

60
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.439
of canine infectious respiratory disease complex are
common, and there are at least nine

61
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:38.560
known bacteria and viruses associated with these
outbreaks. Generally, more than one bacterial

62
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:44.680
or viral agent is found in most
cases. In the atypical cases, the

63
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:50.399
findings are the same. Several diseases
are coming together as secondary illnesses. These

64
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:57.079
secondary conditions are not the causative agent
of the disease, but it would seem

65
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:03.720
that the secondary diseases are causing the
most fatalities. Okay, so let's talk

66
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.759
about symptoms a bit. Then let's
make a plan. I certainly don't want

67
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.839
Sweetpea getting this, and I'm sure
that none of you want your dogs to

68
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:19.199
get it either. Knowledge is power, so let's start there. The symptoms

69
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:27.120
of this disease include coughing, sneezing, nasal and or eye discharge, and

70
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:31.839
lethargy. If you see any of
these symptoms, or any combination of them,

71
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:38.040
call your vet right away. Early
detection is very important when dealing with

72
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:45.120
this disease. Okay, now let's
talk about a plan. I'm going to

73
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.000
tell you my plan and you can
modify it any way that you see fit.

74
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:54.000
My dog has all our shots,
She's up to date on all the

75
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:59.920
common ones, including leptosporosis, kennel
cough, para influenza, and parvo.

76
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.399
But my dog goes to daycare every
day. So for now, I'm going

77
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:11.399
to boost her kennel cough and get
the canine influenza vaccine for her. As

78
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.959
soon as I hear about a case
of Missouri, I'm going to take her

79
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:19.120
out of daycare. She'll be really
sad and she won't like it, but

80
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.720
it's better than having her get sick. She also won't be allowed to go

81
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.800
to the dog parks or any of
her favorite stores. She's going to be

82
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:35.399
stuck at home with me, and
she's going to hate me. Now,

83
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.160
all of that being said, I'm
not going to freak out. I'm simply

84
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.879
going to be proactive about her care. In the beginning of this chat,

85
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:50.040
I said that around two hundred cases
had been reported in Oregon. That was

86
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:56.639
as of the first of December.
Think about how many dogs are in Oregon,

87
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:03.120
how many are in Portland. Out
of three veterinary clinics that I called,

88
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.040
two in Oregon and one in Colorado, where there have been the most

89
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.600
cases, none of the hospitals that
I called had seen any cases at all.

90
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.879
They were aware of the disease,
but they hadn't personally seen any cases.

91
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.160
According to doctor Stephen Coochis, chief
medical officer for the Oregon Humane Society,

92
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.200
Oregon hasn't seen an uptick in respiratory
disease cases. Doctor Scott Weis of

93
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.559
the Worms and Germs Blogs says,
quote, being aware is good, being

94
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:45.720
anxious is bad. The vast majority
of dogs that get CIRDC recover uneventfully end

95
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:54.759
quote. So what are veterinarians recommending
vaccinature dog for K nine influenza, bordtella

96
00:08:54.919 --> 00:09:01.840
and para influenza. Actually they're saying
to boost your bord totella. So if

97
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.720
you have a bord to tell shot
that lasts a year, boosted every six

98
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:13.080
months for a while. Avoid communal
water bowls and toys and clean these items

99
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:20.279
thoroughly. Avoid play dates with dogs
you don't know. While socialization is important,

100
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:26.960
it's better to create a playgroup of
known dogs who are vaccinated. Limit

101
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:33.480
your dog's exposure to dog parks,
daycarees, and boarding facilities, and if

102
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:41.600
your dog does get sick, seek
veterinary care immediately. Recently, a couple

103
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.559
from California experienced the horror of atypical
cir DC. They were on the road

104
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.440
showing their golden retriever Ike when he
came down with it. Ike was diagnosed

105
00:09:52.519 --> 00:10:00.480
with what is now known as atypical
canine infectious Respiratory disease complex. He became

106
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.840
very ill and was put in isolation
so that other dogs wouldn't get it.

107
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:11.320
He was very close to death when
the vets suggested that they try chloramphenicol.

108
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.080
Within hours, Ike was breathing better, and a week later he was able

109
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:24.879
to go home. Now, chloramphenicol
is a really heavy hitter with very serious

110
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.639
side effects. It's banned for use
in humans in the US unless there are

111
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:37.159
no other alternatives. In other countries, it's used in cases of extreme typhoid

112
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:46.360
fever and hemophilous meningitis if nothing else
works. The side effects of chloramphenicol include

113
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:52.960
fatal aplastic anemia where the bone marrow
can't make red blood cells, and gray

114
00:10:54.080 --> 00:11:01.080
baby syndrome, which affects liver function
Ike's owners touting this as a miracle drug,

115
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:07.120
but don't rely on that. The
side effects are serious and often fatal.

116
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.480
I wanted to give this pup date
before we started the episode on terrorism,

117
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.799
because I know that many people don't
listen to the entire episode. They

118
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.559
get through the technical stuff and then
they stop before I go into my speel

119
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:26.240
about Patreon and all that. But
I thought this was worth putting right up

120
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.080
at the beginning so that dog owners
could have the scoop. I need to

121
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:37.399
thank Grateful Heart Veterinary Hospital in Portland, Oregon, Pacific Veterinary Hospital, also

122
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:45.679
in Portland, Longspeak Animal Clinic in
Longmont, Colorado, Doctor Burke at Cornell

123
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:52.320
University Veterinary Hospital in Ithaca, New
York, the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association,

124
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:58.559
and doctor Brown at Animal Care Center
in Springfield, Missouri. I appreciate your

125
00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.240
patience with my questions and all the
information you gave me, And with that,

126
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:26.039
let's get into today's episode. The
US doesn't experience much terrorism. We've

127
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.000
had several attacks on US soil,
but for the most part, we've had

128
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:37.600
far less than other countries experience.
Terrorism is mostly fear mongering. The goal

129
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:45.320
is to spread fear by directing violence
against innocent victims. These attacks can be

130
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.279
initiated by a government, a radical
group, liberationists, or freedom fighters.

131
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.960
They attack anywhere with no warning,
making people wonder could I be next?

132
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:05.279
Ninety seconds to midnight and across the
globe, terrorist cells target unknowing victims to

133
00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:11.480
prove their causes. Just in twenty
twenty two, six thou seven hundred and

134
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:18.279
one people died in terrorist attacks worldwide. Group A attacks Group B to convince

135
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:24.240
Group C to bend to their will. And the truly horrible part of it

136
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.399
is that Group B doesn't have anything
to do with any of it. They

137
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:37.159
are innocent bystanders. Terrorism is not
a new concept. Truly, terrorism can

138
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:43.399
be traced back to ancient times.
It's as old as government and arms struggle.

139
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.879
The word terrorism was coined during the
Reign of Terror during the French Revolution

140
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.440
that began on September fifth, seventeen
ninety three, and ended on July twenty

141
00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:01.679
seventh, seventeen ninety four. During
this time, the Lutionary government brought down

142
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.720
violence upon the citizens of France who
were suspected of being enemies of the revolution

143
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:13.279
resistance to Napoleon's invasion. Of the
Spanish Peninsula gave rise to the guerrilla fighter.

144
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:20.559
Terrorism has evolved during the last century
from targeting soldiers and government officials to

145
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:28.679
targeting innocent civilians. This evolution was
spawned by industrialization during the World Wars.

146
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:35.080
Rather than kidnap and kill a high
level official, it became easier and probably

147
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:41.960
cheaper to bomb as city bloc strategies
have changed since the late nineteenth century.

148
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:48.440
At that time, the anarchist wave
was taking place, and terrorists resorted to

149
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:54.399
throwing molotov cocktails, kidnappings, and
targeted murder with very little skill involved.

150
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.480
The anti colonial wave began post World
War One, and the tactics were much

151
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.320
different in this time since men returning
from war had training in the use of

152
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:13.279
firearms and bombs. Those skills could
make these acts turn more deadly and become

153
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:22.399
less targeted. Terrorist groups generally follow
one or more of four patterns socialism,

154
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:30.080
nationalism, religious extremism, or exclusionism. Actors from any of these groups can

155
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.639
work alone or with another cell from
another group, depending on their endgame.

156
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:41.600
Terrorist cells rise and fall when they
are no longer able to inspire others to

157
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.200
continue with their campaigns to resist authority. Or protest against the organization that they

158
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:52.600
demand changes from. They will dissipate, but this doesn't mean that the same

159
00:15:52.720 --> 00:16:00.799
actors won't join another organized cell.

171
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:08.079
were an eleventh century offshoot of a
Shia Muslim group called the Ismailis. They

172
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:15.319
were known to stab their victims.
They primarily targeted politicians and religious leaders who

173
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.880
refused to adopt the version of Islam
that they were spreading through violence. These

174
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:25.680
murders were usually performed during the day
when there were witnesses. They made no

175
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:30.640
secret of their motive. These killings
were certainly a way to send a message

176
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.799
to anyone who didn't bend to their
demands. This group gave rise to the

177
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:41.839
current term that we use for a
hired killer. Assassin literally means hashish eater.

178
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:48.200
It was rumored that the assassins took
part in rituals that involved eating hashish

179
00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:53.359
before performing an act of terrorism.
These murders were often carried out at religious

180
00:17:53.359 --> 00:18:00.200
sites on holy days. The assassins, like many terrorists, considered their own

181
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:07.440
deaths is sacrificial and a guarantee that
they would enter paradise. The Thugis were

182
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.599
an Indian religious cult who would strangle
random travelers as an offering to Kali,

183
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:18.960
the Hindu goddess of terror and destruction. Their goal was to terrorize their victim

184
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:23.880
so they didn't perform their murders in
front of witnesses, and yes, thugi

185
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:30.119
Is where the word thug comes from. The Thugis are claimed to be responsible

186
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:36.119
for as many as one million murders
from the seventh to the nineteenth century.

187
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:41.200
They may have been the last religiously
based terrorists sect to exist until more recent

188
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:48.519
clusters of cells began to arise over
the last twenty or so years. Nationalists

189
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:53.119
and anarchists are those who perform acts
of terrorism to change a government. However,

190
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:59.559
from seventeen ninety three through seventeen ninety
four, the terrorists were the newly

191
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:07.359
installed called revolutionary government. We're talking
France during the regime de la terror or

192
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:12.720
an anglis The reign of terror my
French is terrible, and I'm sorry.

193
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:17.400
I took two years of it in
high school and promptly forgot all of it

194
00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:23.160
when I didn't have anyone to speak
it with anymore. The French revolutionary leader

195
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:32.079
Maximilian Robespierre considered terrorism to be a
positive term. He saw it as vital

196
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:37.079
to the French Republic's survival. In
seventeen ninety four, he proclaimed that quote

197
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:42.920
terror is nothing other than justice,
prompt, severe, inflexible. It is

198
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:48.279
therefore an emanation of virtue. It
is not so much a special principle as

199
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:55.400
it is a consequence of the general
principle of democracy applied to our country's more

200
00:19:55.559 --> 00:20:02.559
urgent needs end quote. Approximately twenty
thousand people were put to death by guillotine

201
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.319
during the Reign of Terror. Robespierre
and his top lieutenants were some of the

202
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:12.640
last to die, under the justification
that this was nothing other than justice.

203
00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.440
Before his death, Ropespierre announced that
there was a new list of subversives that

204
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:25.480
intended to bring down the French Republic, a counter inquisition by some in the

205
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:30.960
Revolutionary government ensued by those who feared
that their names may be included on the

206
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:36.960
list of potential traders, and this
led to Ropespierre's death by guillotine in seventeen

207
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:44.160
ninety four. In his article A
Brief History of Terrorism, Mark Burgess describes

208
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:48.759
the end of the Reign of Terror
and the fall of the Revolutionary government as

209
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:55.599
quote. Before long, the revolution
devoured itself in an orgy of paranoiaic blood

210
00:20:55.680 --> 00:21:06.480
letting end quote. I couldn't have
done described that better myself. Shortly after

211
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:11.000
the Reign of Terror ended, the
word terrorism began to take on more negative

212
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:18.640
connotations. The term was made popular
by British political philosopher Edmund Burke, and

213
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:26.200
Burke made no bones about demonizing the
revolutionaries. In his writings, Carlo Piscuene,

214
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:33.839
an Italian revolutionary, developed the propaganda
of the deed. This theory was

215
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.319
rooted in the idea that terrorism could
be used to change the narrative of one

216
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:44.440
audience by targeting another. Group A
attacks group B, so group C will

217
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:52.279
bend to their demands. The Russian
populist group Noriniana Voya, whose name translates

218
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:56.920
to the People's Will, was formed
in eighteen seventy eight in opposition of the

219
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:03.559
Sarist regime. This was the group
that assassinated Alexander the Sid on March first

220
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:08.200
of eighteen eighty one. The env
made sure that they didn't harm any innocent

221
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:15.319
victims by carefully choosing their targets and
abandoning missions that would cause collateral damage.

222
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:22.319
The philosophy of the envy inspired other
nationalist groups to follow in their footsteps.

223
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:29.200
Except for the avoidance of killing innocent
victim's part, that idea got lost in

224
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:34.319
the shuffle of the means to the
end, these groups sprang up in Ireland

225
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.400
and the Balkans, and then as
time went by, the twentieth century saw

226
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:45.000
terrorism in new areas such as India, Japan, and the Ottoman Empire,

227
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:52.279
anarchists assassinated several world leaders, including
two US presidents, to get their point

228
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.319
across. Often, the people carrying
out these deeds were doing so in the

229
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:02.000
name of an organization that neither knew
about them attacks, nor did they support

230
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:07.799
or condone them. In the years
following the Civil War, anarchists were performing

231
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:12.359
acts of terrorism across the US on
both sides of the fight, the most

232
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:18.680
well known being the Ku Klux Klan, who were against the reconstruction effort following

233
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:26.000
that war. The concept of state
sponsored terrorism isn't new either. In nineteen

234
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:32.000
fourteen, officials in the Serbian government
and the military were unofficially supporting, training,

235
00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:38.160
and arming various Balkan terrorist groups.
These groups were active before the assassination

236
00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:45.960
of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June twenty
eighth, nineteen fourteen, which was carried

237
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.519
out by a member of the Young
Bosnians. This was one of the undertakings

238
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:55.359
that set off the chain of events
that led up to World War One.

239
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:06.480
According to Walter LaCour quote, the
Macedonian revolutionary organizations survived largely because it became,

240
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:11.640
for all intents and purposes, a
tool of the Bulgarian government and was

241
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:18.599
used mainly against Yugoslavia as well as
against domestic enemies end quote. During the

242
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.960
nineteen sixties and seventies, terrorist groups
added another tool to their ever growing box

243
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:32.799
of tricks, the media. Those
motivated by ethnic and ideological considerations, such

244
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:40.640
as the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the
Basque Eta and the Provisional Irish Republican Army

245
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:45.960
were among those who used media to
gain attention to their causes, and sometimes

246
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:51.680
it worked. Many people across the
globe saw news clips of bombings in the

247
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:56.160
name of justice for the factions that
demanded change, and they empathized with the

248
00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:03.440
bombers. This led to moo mens
worldwide calling for change. The US had

249
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:08.599
its own brand of terrorism during this
time, groups like the Weathermen and on

250
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:15.559
the opposite side of the scale,
the Black Panthers. In nineteen seventy two,

251
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:22.240
eight members of a Palestinian group called
Black September infiltrated the Olympic village during

252
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:26.880
the nineteen seventy two Summer Olympics in
Munich, Germany. They killed two members

253
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:33.599
of the Israeli Olympic team and took
nine others hostage. The attack was executed

254
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:41.359
in retaliation against the israel Defense Forces
who displaced two Palestinian Christian villages during the

255
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:48.799
Arab Israeli War of nineteen forty eight. West German Neo Nazis were helping Black

256
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:56.599
September in the attack by giving logistical
assistance. Latif Afif was the negotiator for

257
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:02.359
Black September, and shortly after the
hot hostages were taken, he demanded that

258
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:07.880
two hundred and thirty four Palestinian prisoners
being held in Israeli jails be released.

259
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:15.799
He also wanted the Red Army faction
founders Andreas Badar and olreich Meinhoff freed from

260
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:21.920
prisons in West Germany. The West
German police attempted to free the hostages in

261
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.799
an ambush. They killed five of
the eight terrorists, but all of the

262
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:33.200
hostages were also killed in addition to
one German officer. West Germany was criticized

263
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:40.680
for the poor execution of the rescue
attempt. The three surviving terrorists were arrested

264
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:45.640
and imprisoned, only to be freed
the following month when Lufthansa flight six point

265
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:55.519
fifteen was hijacked and a hostage exchange
was negotiated. Today religiously inspired terrorism has

266
00:26:55.559 --> 00:27:00.480
emerged again, and several acts of
terrorism have been performed in the name of

267
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:07.559
God. This goes way beyond Islam. Several religious factions, as well as

268
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:14.079
many cults, have executed terrorist acts
to sway governments and others to their way

269
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:21.400
of thinking. On March thirtieth,
nineteen ninety five, the Japanese terrorist cult

270
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:30.839
am Shinrinkyo released Saren, a toxic
gas on a Tokyo subway. The cult

271
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.920
was a mix of Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, and Christian beliefs, and

272
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:40.839
their aim was to gain political control
of the country through the election process.

273
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.920
When twenty four of the followers failed
to get elected to various offices, they

274
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:52.240
turned to terrorism to get their point
across. The Saran attack killed twelve people

275
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:59.920
and injured five thousand and five hundred
more. In comparison to other countries,

276
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:04.559
the US has not seen much terrorism. The two most prolific acts of terrorism

277
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:11.319
on US soil were the Oklahoma City
bombing and nine to eleven. On April

278
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.920
nineteenth, nineteen ninety five, Timothy
McVeigh drove to the front of the Alfred

279
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:21.400
P. Mura Federal Building in Oklahoma
City. He parked the truck, locked

280
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:26.920
the doors and headed toward his getaway
vehicle. Inside of the truck was a

281
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:33.039
very powerful bomb made from fertilizer and
diesel fuel, with a few other chemicals

282
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:38.440
mixed in. On the way to
his car, he lit both timed fuses.

283
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.640
At exactly nine o two am,
the bomb exploded and the entire front

284
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:52.039
of the Federal building collapsed. Dozens
of cars were incinerated, and more than

285
00:28:52.119 --> 00:29:00.960
three hundred buildings within the vicinity were
damaged or destroyed. There was a daycare

286
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:06.480
on the first floor of the building. Nineteen children died in the explosion,

287
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:12.519
along with one hundred and forty nine
adults. Several hundred more people were injured

288
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:19.559
in the attack. This attack was
prompted by mcveigh's anger over the events in

289
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:26.720
Waco two years earlier. This was
the worst terrorist attack executed on US soil

290
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:32.559
until September eleventh, two thousand one, when the World Trade Center and the

291
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:37.400
Pentagon were targeted. Before we talk
about nine to eleven, there was another

292
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:45.000
terrorist event that can't be ignored involving
the World Trade Center. On February twenty

293
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:49.960
sixth, nineteen ninety three, a
moving van carrying a cyanide bomb was left

294
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:56.440
in the parking garage under the World
Trade Center. When the bomb exploded,

295
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:02.359
it left behind a one hundred foot
hole in the ground. Six people died

296
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:10.400
instantly and more than one thousand were
injured in the attack. An Islamic fundamentalist

297
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:17.079
named Mohammed Salma had rented the vehicle
and was arrested by the FBI when he

298
00:30:17.119 --> 00:30:21.359
went back to the moving company to
get his four hundred dollars deposit back.

299
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.400
Yes, he went to get a
deposit back on a vehicle that he used

300
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:33.000
to blow up a large building.
It's worth noting that he destroyed the vehicle

301
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:40.119
in the process. Three more men
were arrested in conjunction with the attack,

302
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:42.880
and by the end of it all, the FBI found an apartment where the

303
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:48.519
bomb was built and a storage locker
that contained enough cyanide and other chemicals to

304
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:55.480
wipe out a city. The man
who engineered the plan, Ramsay Yusef,

305
00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:00.559
had visions of bombing several sites in
the US, including bombing at least a

306
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:07.720
dozen international flights. Yusef was captured
in Pakistan in February of nineteen ninety five.

307
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:14.400
He was extradited back to the US
and convicted of his crimes. His

308
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:18.680
goal was to bomb one of the
World Trade Center towers to the point of

309
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:23.599
collapse. Then he envisioned that the
first tower would knock the other one down.

310
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.079
Al Qaeda would later make Yusef's dream
a reality, and one of the

311
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:38.799
participants in that attack would be Yusef's
uncle, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad. On September

312
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:45.839
eleventh, two thousand and one,
nineteen militants associated with the Islamic extremist group

313
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:52.240
Al Qaeda hijacked four planes. Two
of these were crashed into each of the

314
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:56.200
twin towers at the World Trade Center, One of them flew into the Pentagon,

315
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.359
and the fourth, which was also
suppose to fly to the Pentagon,

316
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:06.440
was brought down by passengers who attempted
to retake the plane from the hijackers.

317
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:13.160
More than two thousand, seven hundred
and fifty people died in the attacks on

318
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:17.119
the World Trade Center. One hundred
and eighty four died at the Pentagon,

319
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:22.279
and the forty passengers on Flight ninety
three who crashed into a field in Pennsylvania

320
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:28.440
while trying to recapture the plane.
For those of us who remember nine to

321
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:32.039
eleven, we remember exactly what we
were doing when the towers came down.

322
00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:37.720
I was gathering cattle the crew I
was working with, and I didn't find

323
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:43.359
out until a few hours after the
attacks. We were taking a break to

324
00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.839
eat lunch when we saw a rider
coming pretty hard for us. The radios

325
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:52.279
didn't work that high up in the
mountains. Everyone in our group was a

326
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:55.880
little concerned. I had a child
in school in town twenty miles away.

327
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:01.440
Julie had a sick mother in the
hospital. We all thought that something had

328
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:07.640
happened with one of them. I
can't remember who rode out to us.

329
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:10.039
I'm going to call him Dave for
the sake of giving the guy a name,

330
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.400
and actually it might have been Dave. Dave had loaded a horse and

331
00:33:15.440 --> 00:33:19.759
a trailer and come as quickly as
he could to the pasture where we were

332
00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:24.720
working when he found out. I
remember our disbelief when he said they hit

333
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:31.200
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The US is under attack. I

334
00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:36.759
remember Jerry saying, you're full of
shit. No one's attacking the US.

335
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.759
No one would do that. And
then I looked up at the sky.

336
00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:45.319
There were no planes. We were
working in an area that was in a

337
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:52.720
flight path. There were always planes. I couldn't see a single contrail.

338
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:58.440
At that moment, I knew it
was true. Jerry, Julie, Dave

339
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:01.400
and I took off our hats bout
our heads and said a prayer for those

340
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:07.159
who died. Dave mounted his horse
and rode back. He loaded his horse

341
00:34:07.159 --> 00:34:12.760
in the trailer and went back to
town. Jerry, Julie and I went

342
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:15.840
back to work. We had cattle. The doctor our grieving would have to

343
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:22.239
wait. When our grief did come, it was rough. I cried for

344
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:30.400
days today. The country that experiences
the most terrorist activity is Afghanistan, followed

345
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:37.599
by Iraq, Somalia, and Pakistan. Afghanistan has held that number one position

346
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:45.800
for four years in a row.
In Afghanistan, the terrorist accounts don't include

347
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:52.840
those executed by the Taliban government.
No terrorist events perpetrated by a government are

348
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:58.320
included in the numbers reported by the
UN. I'm just going to leave that

349
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:04.880
there and you can stew on it
for a bit. Somalia has the highest

350
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:09.199
death toll due to terrorist attacks.
The number there in twenty twenty two was

351
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:22.760
one hundred and twenty one and several
hundred more injured. There are places in

352
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:28.239
the world where terrorism is a part
of everyday life. People wake up in

353
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:32.239
the morning wondering if they'll be struck
down by a roadside bomb or whether they'll

354
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:38.639
be kidnapped and publicly beheaded. It's
ninety seconds to midnight, and across the

355
00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:44.920
world, bad actors are making their
statements for change through violence, in the

356
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:50.000
name of politics and in the name
of God. How long will it take

357
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:55.440
before one of them uses a nuclear
device to make their voices heard. Thank

very joyous holiday season, and I'll
see you in two weeks when we'll talk

376
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:30.000
about volcanic eruptions and what they mean
for the human race. Do you have

377
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:35.280
a story of survival? A parent
goes to residential school, you know they

378
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:39.719
haven't had that family connection, those
traditional values and ceremonies that many of us

379
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:45.159
exposed to are taken, or have
a lost loved one that was involved in

380
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:50.800
human trafficking, exploitation, missing,
or murdered. My name is Jasmine Castillo

381
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:53.360
and I am the host of Hands
Off, my podcast that brings to the

382
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:59.960
forefront, specifically from Asian American,
Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander, black and digital

383
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:05.119
people of color. Anderson wants the
location of your emergency, ma'am, what's

384
00:38:05.159 --> 00:38:10.960
going on out there as well as
nonprofit organizations. When I was a pro

385
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:15.719
investigator five years ago, Be picked
up a case that was she needs Harris

386
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:22.400
case that help and advocate families of
lost loved ones with their closure from some

387
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:25.760
time from his ship they work to
that next day he was either robbed or

388
00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:31.840
apprehended at some point with someone coming
into the restaurant and opening a cold case.

389
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:38.000
So that to me was his his
way out and it negatively impacted our

390
00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:45.280
money's investigation. Please join me on
Thursdays on any podcast platform wherever you listen

391

no more.
