The focus of the passage is actually dark matter, a mysterious substance that scientists believe makes up a significant portion of the universe's mass but haven't been able to directly detect. Traditionally, dark matter has been thought to consist of weakly interacting particles. However, the passage explores the intriguing possibility that dark matter might behave as a wave instead.

This wave dark matter would be composed of ultralight particles, millions or even billions of times lighter than an electron. The sheer number of these particles would compensate for their minuscule mass, allowing them to contribute substantially to the universe's total mass. The wave nature of dark matter has interesting implications. It suggests that dark matter could interact with Earth's ionosphere, potentially generating radio waves that we might be able to detect.

The passage also briefly mentions a local news report about a house fire likely caused by a lithium-powered golf cart, and an act of heroism by an FDNY EMT who rescued people from a rip current. These were likely included in the original source material the passage was derived from, but they are not the main focus.

Part 1: The Navy's Secret Manta Ray

The episode dives into a perplexing discovery – a high-resolution image on Google Maps that appears to show a manta ray-shaped drone operated by the US Navy. This has reignited discussions about a previous article detailing the Navy's development of a new, fish-shaped, self-propelling drone submarine.

These underwater drones are believed to have extended range capabilities, allowing them to stay submerged for long periods without refueling. This extended range suggests the Navy might be using them for long-distance recon missions. The episode also speculates that these drones could be part of a larger effort to counter similar underwater vehicles being developed by Russia and China, raising concerns about a potential underwater arms race.

Part 2: Shark Attacks in Unfamiliar Waters

The podcast then shifts gears to address a recent string of shark attacks near South Padre Island, Texas. Scientists theorize that these attacks are linked to Hurricane Beryl, a powerful storm that disrupted the natural habitat of sharks in the region. The displaced sharks, combined with warmer waters caused by the hurricane, may have drawn them closer to shore where they encountered unsuspecting beachgoers.

The episode acknowledges the rarity of shark bites but emphasizes the importance of water safety. It concludes by offering practical tips for beachgoers, such as avoiding swimming alone, staying clear of areas with known feeding activity, and refraining from entering the water at dusk or dawn when sharks are more active.

Examining the Violence of Borders: A Discussion with Todd Miller

This episode delves into the critical and often violent concept of borders with Todd Miller, a leading scholar on the topic. Todd Miller's recent book, "Empire of Borders," argues that borders are far more than geographic lines; rather, they represent a system of control and violence, frequently employed to displace and exploit Indigenous and marginalized communities.

Our conversation explores several key themes:

Borders as Instruments of Geopolitical Systems: Todd Miller contends that borders are strategically utilized by a global elite to maintain power and economic dominance. This concept of an "empire" transcends national boundaries, manipulating them to manage populations for specific agendas.

The Lucrative Business of Border Militarization: The discussion will unveil the burgeoning industry of border security. Companies generate substantial profits from technologies like drones and surveillance towers. Todd Miller will expose the unsettling connection between corporations testing these technologies in occupied territories and then marketing them for use on other borders.

The Inherent Violence of Borders: Drawing on historical examples like the US-Mexico border and the Dominican Republic-Haiti border, Todd Miller will illustrate how borders are often established through violence, a reality obscured from collective memory.

The Psychological Impact of Borders: Todd Miller argues that borders not only divide land, but forge psychological divisions between people. These divisions can be exploited to reinforce racial and ethnic hierarchies.

Building a Future Beyond Borders: The episode concludes with a discussion on methods for challenging the dominance of borders. Todd Miller emphasizes the importance of cross-border solidarity and activism in fostering a more just and interconnected world.

Delving Deeper: U.S. Border Security's Reach in the Age of "Layered Borders"

In today's world, border security for the United States extends far beyond the physical walls lining its southern frontier. Todd Miller's insightful book, "Empire of Borders," sheds light on this concept of extended U.S. influence, exploring how America spreads its "border wall" far further south than the US-Mexico border. Exploring how the interventionist US foreign policy degrades civil rights, exports violence, and uses ecocide as a weapon.

Miller introduces the idea of "layered borders," a strategy that transcends physical barriers. This approach involves implementing security measures further inland from the immediate U.S. border and fostering close collaboration with partner countries.

One prime example of layered borders is the Mexico-Guatemala border. Here, you won't find a continuous wall, but rather a network of strategically placed checkpoints designed to monitor and deter the flow of immigration. These checkpoints, established with U.S. support and training, act as an invisible fence filtering movement far from the U.S. border itself.

This podcast would delve deeper into the role of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within this extended security strategy. CBP's involvement extends beyond U.S. soil, with agents and resources deployed to train and collaborate with partner nations' border security forces. This international cooperation serves to magnify the reach of U.S. border enforcement efforts, creating a complex web of security measures that stretches far beyond the physical U.S.-Mexico border.

Dissecting infringements on national sovereignty and the ethical implications of extending U.S. control over foreign borders, this episode will expand the borders of your mind beyond what you once knew about the border. Even challenging the basic philosophy and ideology behind border walls and the justification of violence by manufactured legalities.
