the people who rule in washington certainly, and to a large extent, in ottawa, they see dominating the world is more important than and focusing on making sure that everyone has as a whole. what's been in full comments when it comes to joining us military interventions in other countries? well get it as part of where the founding member of. busy with britain and the u. s . the, the 3 countries are the ones who began the alliance candidate part of neuron with the us, canada, as part of the 5 eyes intelligence apparatus with the u. s. canadian military is completely integrated with the u. s. military, the canadian arms industry is basically branch plant of us armed companies. can a companies benefit from pentagon spending their special provision that allows canadian arms companies to sell the pentagon as if they are in fact american company? so canada has been deeply integrated with the us empire for since world war 2, the,

the elite in this country see the world and profit from the world in a similar way to the, to the u. s. l. e. now when it comes to china, i actually think there's a big chunk of the business class. it just wants to do normal sort of trade relations with china. and those are increasingly under threat. but when it comes to, you know, you go from haiti to peru, ukraine, to taiwan, community and foreign policy is heavily, heavily influenced by the perspectives in washington and, and the canadian elite have, have, you know, have acquiesced to being a part of us foreign policy. and us empire, a domination. thank you so much for joining some program this evening. i really appreciate your insight eve and la canadian journalist and activist. thank you, and thank you for joining us here on our t international. as always,

plenty more to be found on our website. ology dot com will be back in 30 minutes. a with ah mm . this is the ancient lake by called more specifically, the island of fallen, also known as the heart of bye, call. straight away. you can feel something mystical here. a place of unique

traditions and amazing mix of cultures and peoples. but what makes this place so appealing? we're going to speak to some of the most prominent locals of all horn and uncover some of its secrets are ah, for. 3 3 2 ah, we're on our way to see you. i'm with kids guys or family has been on our home for several generations, reserving the island legacy,

taking care of the local museum. 3 2 ah julia, hello, thanks for meeting us here. oh, such an interesting interesting place. tell me, have you lived here your entire life and what gives you the motivation to stay here and preserve this culture in this heritage for everybody? yes, if i, when i was young, my parents used to bring me here to visit my grandparents that i spend whole summer here. you've got one thing i can say about all hon island is that i never wanted to live anywhere else. but, but when you come to all hon. yeah. especially in summers you get the sense of freedom is not good. and i don't just mean to move around. do i'm talking about a state of mind who would know you're surrounded by endless blue sky? will the see the mountains and the vast steps of am, i just thought that it gives you an undescribable feeling of inner freedom with them. there is no way i'd trade being here for anything else. i the all hung museum

is my life's work legit and much more. it's my duty to carry on the legacy of my ancestors. he it's life is in my yeah, it's not just my life, but my whole family's to this such a wonderful energy to this place. you can feel it, but it's also bringing more traffic to all horn and to the island. is this hurting the energy here or does it help in some way? is there a balance here? oh, nice not. you didn't like that. there is no clear answer. it stuck with all hahn is millions of years old blue. it was here before you. it's alive now. you and it will live on get it. i wouldn't say that the energy of this place is negatively affected . so i'm really looking forward to seeing the museum. can you show me the way i'm going over share this way? so jojo, we are in the museum that your grandfather built. and there is a theory that the center of civilization is in africa,

but we're getting more information that another center is right here in by call. or in fact, we know that native americans can trace some of their ancestry back here too. bye call. can you tell me a little bit more about that particular unit of cars that pro, i'd like to tell you about a researcher from your could come who spent his life studying league by carl i his name was thing islov girl off. indeed, he has since passed away, nor the idea he put forward. it was that at one time before the bye call basin was formed, opposite this area was inhabited by one of the oldest civilisations on the planet at new stomach. then when the tectonic plates started to shift out, and the bottom of lake by col began to sink, this entire population sank under the water with a touch of borrowing from the name atlanta, the girl off called this civilization by carlita. and it's an uncontested fact that the people that inhabited on island migrated eastwards because this was during h in times. and the exact reason is still unknown than you will. it could have been

due to an advancing lace here. don't get it. maybe they were simply traveling, look, or perhaps they followed animal herds to retain a source of food. good, whatever the reason they went east to leave you at that time, the bearing straight that did not exist, you know, and the 2 continents were connected through a narrow land way, which scientists later called the bearing land bridge. busy through this land bridge, people could cross to the other side and saddle there because it is believed that these people were the original north american indian c. as for several years, the experts conducted are here, logical research and excavations, gifts and scientists carried out various lab tests to tell you. it was confirmed that the people who lives in the bi col, region and on all hon islands the, where the ancestor of the north american indians. so this really is a melting pot, a mixture of cultures and mixture of religions. um, so how does it affect people on the island? do people get along here?

we do, don't love the city. miss allison that we do have a mix of cultures here and not just in the sense of everyday culture. it's. we've had people of orthodox faith on sham hands, buddhists, catholics and muslims, a major ta, tardy asper. so yes, this place really is a melting part of the normal people would pass along parts of their culture and borrow other tribes customers on you. these days, almost all the bureau outs and in general, the people living here play combined the practices of both shamanism and orthodox christianity. i know would they go to church services, but they also observe the customs and traditions of shamanism she targets as members of any other faith that happened to be on the island here, respect these feminist tick rituals and the practices are strictly observed him. so that's the kind of cultural influence we've experienced hundreds. if i look around the museum, i see many interesting artifacts and exhibits. i understand some of the artifacts that you have here are really rich in heritage and culture and historical. can you

show me some of the artifacts that you have? but i never let me show you then because in one so you tell me about this is a very interesting good advice segment. this is part of a, we're out your to le, traditional housing. who does, it usually has 8 walls and every space serves a specific purpose. you the fireplace was in the center room and it's where the family guardian spirit dwelled us in the master of the fire. and the urine is because when the family sat down to eat or had guests over the 1st bite was always given to the fire of these guys only after that they would start eating e. b, at the burr out, believed that fire purified everything, cleaned the urine from evil spirits that could harm residence. don't say so, this is the central part. when i go, there were also the east and west sides of the yard of the east side was for women

. will you crazy? because a woman has children, the giver of life, the beginning of a new life and the sun rises in the east and a new day begins. this symbolizes the beginning of something new i zion's cap. ah, you men occupied the west facing part of the yard. the sun sets in the west and the days over doubly be end death years in men were hunters and warriors. they brought death. now, yes, but you won't. and if there was a baby in the yard on the cradle would be between the entrance and the fireplace. if that's where they would hide it, we might. the fire was supposed to protect the baby from all evil spirits. natasha manice used various elements to protect them and guns again. there is one hanging over there, but they made them to be extremely scary. looking shamans would make spirit to dwell in such an angle. so it would gain protective powers. ah, that's why they had to look terrifying. so that evil spirits trying to get into the yard would be scared and run away. j. d e's up,

but here is another symbol. so it's got sir gay asked me, you can see these posts all around all han sir damien's, a tethering post when it was used to tie horses up as their flight steps all around here. after riding for days they needed rest and but they couldn't tie their horses to just anything. so we're out started installing these posts on the boundaries between their villages. soon the sir, gate posts became sacred, narrow because they turned into meeting spots between families and tribes. them garage, they would spray them in a ritual. as they believed they had sacred powers. with the gardening spirit grew stronger, and people began to do rituals near them again, but themselves sick? oh glen, you provided god. i love how everything has not just a purpose, but it also has a meaning to it as well. um you mentioned about shamanism. it's not just a part of the culture or religion. it's a really important part of all of everything here. but

i wanted to go over with order. can you tell me more about shamanism in order to culture? so my knees with the facts, garage, m. shamanism is not really a culture or religion. really. it's more like the world view of the variety of people living here. in ancient times, people watch different processes, analyzed them, and made conclusions. even if there was a storm, there won't be any fish really. and you know, if there is thunder, isn't it, is going to rain. if there is drought, there won't be any harvest toys yet. they connected all these processes to territorial spirits. its shamanism is the belief that everything has a spiritual master. and you should be very careful with the spiritual world mean

shouldn't damage nature. so it is more like a world view, and people have maintained it for generations. i see celia, have you ever visited a shannon or do you believe in shaman powers? yes, i'm going to go, well, i've never tried to em, i'd believe in that power you but it should be a last resort. i am lucky to have never been in a situation where i might need it of some weeks when i'm ill. the doctor can diagnose or treat me as to me that you could, you have to understand that shamanism is not to be mast, whether there but you have to be careful with it. of really cha man's communicate with evil spirits as well when they enter a trance with the spirits of the underground. and he brought us, it's not right to think of them in terms of good and evil spirits can harm people sometimes. so you shouldn't go after the services of a sharman, for sheer curiosity. um you can talk to them, but ask for their help only when you have no other option ones and i never had to

thankfully, of the both theories, noise. all hon is the heart of shamanism in eastern siberia, those because its energy is strong here. and you have to face the spiritual world, whether you like it or not, you know, sometimes the spirits guide you as people say, some unemployed. anyone can go out into the woods or did you get lost none and simply travel in circles until they die with them you. nobody knows why this happened. allah! a person can be living here his whole life and still get lost once he leaves his village from when you this has happened more than once in video. another thing, but you must always make an offering to the spirits at the highest mountain between the town of career v and the ferry, though, but that it was all haunt spirits, are powerful, they're not now will you have to make an offering of, even if you don't believe in spirits most, but you, when i was a child with my family, you lived on guards school yet somebody. and one time we came to the island by car with our friends, like you believe it was in the seventy's when cars were slow and the roads bumpy?

will we? but we stopped to have a snack near the sir gave post. he not the very i was at 7 with my brother was 14, is up there was another boy with us, my mother and the boys. father who was driving him. the boy and i saw coins is scattered by the sir, gave you. so we ran to collect them my dog. could you let the man said, go on, but i will pay for the fairy with them. the fairy wasn't free back then wasn't really that. so we boarded the boat to 7 year olds in the back seat to run. the fairies were small, the only fit 2 cars. our car was at the bag, which is the blue ridge. the ramp was lifted by chains and the fairy set sail with another half way across the all. hans, give her the straight the fairies and and died. i mean, the ram fell down the grass and our car started to roll back towards the water. i put on bulls all the men on the fairy tried to hold on to the car is the boy and i the ones who collected the coins were in the back seat of good,

yet the ferry was narrow and we couldn't open the car doors. this machine, it could go north with the sure. sure. as soon as we were out, the engine started again here. the ramp was able to close and the car stopped moving. what would you will even spirits after that? if my mother became a believer law, things like this happened here all the time. the keys, shamanism is all around here. you face it and you can't help. but believe in it is someone is when you viewed it and you get us once they get felt. givers in it unless you read it with. yeah, it's been an incredibly interesting conversation. i certainly learned a lot. thank you very much. me since shannon ism is an integral part of the culture here we to decided to receive our blessings and we're going to see volunteer her guy of the chief show on here on our horn. valentine. hi.

this is us. i father. i just sort of tied a green ribbon on to the pole here. i hope that's a good luck color. hope that means something good for our team at the course of mac . and it's a good omen. emily green is the color of the earth with the earth, and the sky will help you. blue being the sky and green the earth. it'll help you in the hopefully all of us ever thought that the be peace and harmony fall. it's like less if she was younger than i come over here. these are see again. so tethering post 4 horses, said jack, one are gods. who descended from the sky or cards came down here to save the world from evil. these spirits are all across the shores of by col, we'll see. but these posts are here because the cheap car lives in this rock, according to legend, what your po, but she were what the go ahead if you good. so it seems to me that being a sham on you have to be knowledgeable about medicine,

you have to know about what the spirits, but also how do you have to be a psychologist as well for your for of course, for my shamrock needs to know how to be a psychologist, an oracle, a healer, and a fortune teller, or he must be old for things for the. how often do people come to see you and i, can you give me an example of what they come to see for lucia? but of them before the people come with all kinds of requests, sloan of low self, and they asked for spells to protect and rituals or rights to increase crop yield a candle, breeding, hunting, or fishing? i think there are also birth and age related rituals from marriages to burial ceremonies. all the events that happen in our lives. we're talking about. we only perform rituals. if we're are just living. this is lou lou. he had

a home a a, b, a. is there anything that is taboo or anything that's forbidden? i a ritual that you as a showman will not or cannot do? you will judge the boy and i will never do a ritual to start war. we don't want was that we won't agree to harm any one or do evil to others. what evil violent or wicked things are taboo and something will refuse to do. what good. can you treat any thing with the help of a showman yet? this is jessica. so even of course not to day modern medicine can do almost

anything different. we stay clear. sometimes we use traditional healing practices when people come to us thoroughly. otherwise we let professional doctors do their job, would get the new medicine. is there to treat people there and we look after the spiritual part of your the full year. and what about people relying too much on shamanism? is it where you actually have to refer people to actually go see a traditional western medicine? i use that such things happen. of course. if a sharma knows he can't really help someone will send them to a doctor if there's a broken bone. for example, philip and the patient needs a splint or a cast that they need to see a doctor. what does your does nothing a shaman can do? in this case, i could hit my tambourine a 1000 times and it wouldn't help build a sham and needs to be able to tell people when they can't help. let's go back to yours. what is a common misconception about sharman is that you would like to clear up or what is

something that you can tell people that they don't know about? shamanism law. most people's idea of a sham on is a person jumping around and beating a tambourine. when a good, it's a general misconception. you need to understand that a sham on is some on equipped with spiritual knowledge. i need someone who knows the legends and traditions of the people. he's the bearer of the people spirit in russia. traditional shamanism is practiced among indigenous ethnic groups inhabiting siberia, the north, and the far east. you don't want some russians, italians or french might have is just a hobby or neo shamanism, which is not the same. her traditional shamanism is a religion, a faith practiced by indigenous ethnic groups. while neo shamanism is like a punk some culture with neo shamanism and traditional shamanism. these are 2 entirely different thing. what i told you that you needed to be

a sharman. how did you know that shamanism was your calling lawyer? it was tradition that initiated me into sha manhood. when i started learning studying the religion, i can't say i've always known i'd be a showman for you. i didn't know. i lived like many other people worked at a factory or served in the army, just like most people of my generation. and then i was chosen to become a sherman of which was and i took up my new duties for linda's phone, secret form. what did you see about the future, or what can you tell us about, or even your hopes about humanity and what we can expect. moving forward more humankind is standing at the threshold. there's a choice to make, either to slide back and become like reptiles, crocodiles, or move forward to spiritual height and become better people at each turn. every rebirth, a person should become better, stronger, more beautiful, and closer to perfection. each time we need to take one small step upwards and

become a little bit better than before, every person needs to work on themselves to improve and re educate themselves. so it's very important. i thank you, dear. sure. but it was with here on o horen, that magic is everywhere and it can be clearly expressed through art. and it can be seen through the eyes of artist dashing number caught in with

dashing. hi, hello. thank you for having us in your workshop to see where the magic is made. how you yourself started as a local branching artist. and now your world famous. and you said that your success is based on your roots. i'm at home. can you tell me about that? they are both. i think it's because i'm still a berardi and artist. it's just a geography in some regard has become wider. yeah. this area around black carl has given me everything, knowledge, culture, history. how would you buy? carl has a vast history. and if i q, logical findings indicate a great civilization was here a few century b. c. it's a fascinating world. huh. hm. i thought into the thing it interesting. now you're

an artist, but also every one in your family is an artist as well. talk to me a little bit about a is a genetic do you think or is it nurture the, the surrounding culture has inspired, you know? yeah. well, i think it's both. no, but mostly i would say it's genetic, but the more for generations, my ancestors were craftsmen calling you back, then it was difficult to call in the heart of him in those times, just like in renaissance europe, artists were jacks of all trades, and so were our ancestors isn't a good night, they would create everything from daily items to church goods and you might in some way, that is an art people by can had a lot of knowledge and a lot of craft, a movie. mr. now your sculpture on cape a hub boy is known as the guardian of by call. we went out to visit it. it's, it's beautiful piece, but you call it the father of my call. is there a difference? do you have a different meaning to this particular piece? of artwork, we ask of you the kid in bureaucracy and language. i call it by god,

by veil, by weight that whereby gal is by coll and by they is father. according to our ancient tradition, there are 13 deities around by cal and we worship the 13 keepers of the lake. but as i united them all in one face to emphasize this ancient culture. to me, it's a collective image. the yeah, related to the national culture and beliefs of the local population of the public knows it as the keeper of biker, but to me, it's by gal buffet. now we live at an age of multiculturalism, where sometimes local indigenous cultures can get lost in their identity, can be lost forever. what do you see yourself as kind of a guardian of brach and culture, or maybe at least preserving your culture for future generations to come? no, yeah, boomers thought, well, i do this deliberately mindfully numerous. the knowledge i have from my ancestor

says, am i pass it on using the instruments i possess. being a sculptor, i cast my ard and bronze, or while a rider or musician, what would of course be different? no, i use visual art to pass on this knowledge, but i keep saying though, i grown that we are losing our culture, this knowledge, an alarming pace. now this is what worries me, a lot of it, which is in your work is an exciting. it's energetic, it's fantastic. um there's also it can actually be intimidating in some ways, but there's also definitely a magical quality to it. do you think that there's a mystical side to be an artist as well? mo ya's name, i don't know about other artists. another culture south nick, well i think what i do is characteristic of my people and siberian peoples in general of the union for it or it has only been characterized as buddhist art for the past few centuries of western. before that, it was considered

a pagan culture of even today, and buddhism in this region was strongly mix with pagan culture. what got it? i think this pagan aspect shows quite strongly in my article because siberia is mighty most iberia is all about this ra power. it through it and so is by coll benefit even with this winds, an extreme temperature sergio and feed. if it's cold here, it's freezing when it's hot. here it's hotter and my art is much like nature in it . whether i wanted or not. it's just the way it is to put it up like when i used. thank you very much for taking us, taking the time to see us. it's been a pleasure, a my son. ah

ah ah ah, ah ah . oh, in the west it's called a marriage of convenience, but for russia and china, their relationship is strategic and an alternative to the west, so called the rules based order. what the west refuses to recognize the russians in

the chinese practice. and it's called multi polarity. ah ah, to russian girls that were, you know, i think with that relative agreement is reached with a few people in uniforms ran into a apartment. the light switch turned off because somebody fell on the switch. they started to twist my dad's arms with. so people laying on the floor with their hands behind their heads, us vice president, pamela howard, set to visit africa and they could, this week made washington face that they constantly think towards russia and china with the most civilians of.
