Here, it's like a little get-together meeting board game room at the hotel, but the internet doesn't seem to work down in my cabin right there.
It's like most...
The internet doesn't seem to work very well anywhere.
But anyway, while I was here working on stuff, waiting for something to upload, I looked at this book, and this says Tyrell and Alton Anstin, which...
Loosely translates into Tyrol in old views, which means Tyrol in old pictures, because this book is filled with some amazing pictures.
I want to share some of these with you.
I've got it marked.
I've got the markings done with leaves.
Here's the state of Tyrol.
From last night, we had a meal at a restaurant, and the owner was serving us.
She said, Tyrol is the heart of Austria.
She goes, Vienna may be the cultural center, but the heart of Austria, the blood, pumps out of Tyrol.
And this is Innsbruck.
This is where we flew into.
This is the biggest city in Tyrol.
And then you travel along this road.
Seafeld is probably the biggest city listed on here where we are.
And then Telfs is somewhere over here.
And the tyrannical scum of Bilderberg is up here.
So there's that.
There's the state of Tyrol.
It's a little history lesson report.
Here is what Innsbruck looked like back in the day.
This is from 1730, 1740. So that's a nice little panoramic view.
And this was the Internet of Old drawing these pictures.
This is how communication was transferred.
Let's go to the next picture.
Here's another shot of Innsbruck.
See that?
People are going down.
This is how trading was done, through rafts.
And there's a really fast-flowing river in Innsbruck.
I guess right now it's got a lot of melting snow making it happen.
This is, when I first saw this, it was like, wow, this looks like the Boston Massacre almost.
But look, both sides are fighting.
And this is actually the fourth battle of the Battle of Bergesil, which was a revolt between the militia of Tyrol revolting against the King of Bavaria and Napoleon of France.
So they had four battles, all of which the militiamen won the first four.
And then the last battle, they were overwhelmed and had to submit, unfortunately.
Seems like they are still submitting to this day.
And I think that's why that police officer was really getting mad at me when I was, you know, educating them.
It was because they're a proud people, and they should be.
But they shouldn't lay down and submit.
I really like this picture.
It's got these old barns.
And this is kind of how they set up to block.
Snow from building up on their roofs.
They even have a system like that now.
I'll show you that on my little roof.
It's got two gutters which help drain the water off and also keep the snow from piling up on the roof.
That's very important.
This is the amazing view again.
And there's where we went yesterday.
Up to about right there.
In fact, we might be able to see the radio tower up there.
There's a cell phone tower up that way.
Can't see it from here, though.
Anyway, back to the history book.
I thought that was neat.
I don't know.
I kind of like old barns.
There's different watercolors, and I guess it's just a collection of historical paintings and drawings that were then put together and published into a book.
Shows some country life, very relaxed people.
This is how they cross the river, pulling a log across while the guys stood on the log and they're pulling them across.
You've got these raging rocks and water.
Back then they didn't have a lot of dams built, so these weren't controlled.
There you see the snow mitigation for the roofs.
Here's another one.
Looks like they've got a dam built here, letting water flow through, but it's also flowing under.
See some people on the bridge watching it.
This was done in 1840. It's another interesting looking image.
It's like how they've started dividing up farmland.
There's some hunters traveling back.
There's a farmer and an old, looks like maybe a church.
This was done in 1590. There's another big panorama.
You can see the wall around the city.
And then you've got...
Some areas where animals were kept here.
There's a farm up here.
You got this wall around this city.
There's some more crops.
Around the river that runs through Innsbruck down this way, all farmland.
Everywhere.
Everywhere around it is farmland.
Here's a guy walking next to what looks like to be a glacier, and this is in 1819. All the SUVs and everything back then were causing global cooling.
Al Gore was right.
Here's an interesting photo.
This looks like some sort of cultural holiday that they're having.
This was done in 1850. Here's the date right there, 1850. Another shot.
It's a really cool book.
I haven't had too much time to spend with it, but I wanted to share it with everybody before we pulled out of here, and I would have kicked myself for not showing it.
Because you don't run into these very often.
When I was interviewing Russell Means, we found an old Wounded Knee book where we got a lot of the images from.
And it's history.
You can't deny the photos.
The U.S. troops had massacred the Indians.
They stacked them up like cordwood and it had frozen over the nights.
Everybody was frozen in place and they just put them in a mass burial grave.
Here's one from 1840.
This is just a really interesting book, but there's an amazing picture coming up.
Ah, yes, here it is.
This is called a glacier.
This is from 1824. So there was a mini ice age.
And glaciers kind of reformed and started carving out areas.
I imagine the whole valley down there was carved out by a giant glacier.
Yeah, but this, I mean, I think this is definitive proof that Al Gore was right and global warming exists and it's caused by...
By humans and SUVs, you know, because these guys were driving around in their gas-guzzling cars burning coal, and that melted this glacier.
And that's why we have the problems today, because of these people.
So we have to limit human population.
Obviously, I'm just kidding.
It just doesn't make any sense.
And there's also photos you can go find of Greenland when it was green.
But now it's not green.
It's covered with snow.
So there have been different warming and cooling periods that really have nothing to do with human interaction.
They have to do with the sun, mostly, and solar cycles.
And probably stuff within our own Earth, too.
I imagine our core heats and cools.
But it's just a really interesting book.
I haven't even gone through the whole thing, but I wanted to share with you guys some of the images.
