Topic: Walrus

Phil Demers, a former animal trainer at Marineland in Canada, joins the program to discuss his transition from employee to whistleblower. Demers details his entry into the industry as an assistant and the immediate discomfort he felt regarding animal care standards. The primary focus of his advocacy is Smooshie, a walrus he imprinted on and has spent six years attempting to rescue from the facility.

Phil Demers describes a scientific anomaly where a walrus named Smooshie imprinted on him during a chaotic medical procedure. By placing his hands in front of her face, her brain circuitry reportedly "tattooed" his sensory information, creating a maternal-like bond similar to a calf and its mother. Demers views the walrus as family and expresses a lifelong commitment to securing her freedom from Marineland.

Demers proposes a simple resolution to the legal battle: the transfer of Smooshie to a willing facility, such as the Toronto Zoo, which is only 90 minutes away. He notes that four out of five walruses at Marineland have died recently, making the situation urgent for the sole survivor. He offers to end his public campaign against the park if they agree to move the animal to a social environment with other walruses.

The late owner of Marineland, John Holer, allegedly made provisions to ensure Smooshie would never leave the park, which Demers describes as a "revenge plot from beyond." Currently, the park is managed by a lawyer and Holer's widow, who are overseeing the transition of the business. With the Toronto Zoo completing a new walrus facility in March, Demers argues there is no longer any logistical excuse to keep the animal in a warehouse.

Smooshie currently lives in a concrete warehouse under artificial lights without natural air or social interaction. Demers emphasizes that moving her to the Toronto Zoo, even as a temporary measure, would be a massive improvement because it offers an outdoor environment. He stresses that time is of the essence given the high mortality rate of other walruses at the facility.

Greg Carlwood previews the second hour for Plus members, which covers Ken Shoulders' work, health and healing devices, and the Sapphire Project. He signs off with a cryptic clue about a "walrus" for the next episode and a final challenge to the "secret science suppressors."

Explorers documented land birds, foxes, and wolves migrating north toward the pole during winter, suggesting a source of warmth and food within a polar opening. Fridtjof Nansen's expedition recorded weeks of sailing through open polar seas with no ice at latitudes where the ocean was expected to be frozen solid.

The conversation explores references to Tuesday Weld in classic rock songs, including tracks by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Hawes argues that the Druidic Illuminati used the 1960s rock and roll counterculture to overturn puritanical Christian values and launch a global social and sexual revolution. He claims this cultural war was successfully won by the occult factions.
