And charapa is just the jungle dialect in Peru. And so I'm very intrigued watching all of this unfold. And when the jetpack miner narrative came out, I wasn't buying it. That was ridiculous. I knew that was ridiculous because I've met river miners. And they don't have—they're not equipped with state-of-the-art jet packs. Yeah, what would they even be mining anyway?

So the river miners, what they do is they're very rudimentary operations. They have these rafts, these riverboats that are all rusted out, and they're not like floating around on yachts. And what they do is very destructive to— to the environment, they dump mercury into the water, which, of course, kills everything, poisons the water. It's a real problem. They do that?

They dump mercury in the water, and then they dredge. Is it called dredging? They dredge the bottom of the river, and then they sift. They sift the residue through whatever to try and separate out the gold. So that's how those river miners operate. They're not sophisticated. They're not rich. And they are very seedy individuals usually because what they're doing is illegal.

You're not allowed to mine rivers like that anywhere, especially in the Amazon. But they do it anyway because there's gold to be gathered in those rivers. And so again, the explanation is that these river miners, these Peruvian river miners...

somehow have attained these, have come into possession of these advanced jet pack technology and body armor, and were terrorizing the villagers to try and expel them from their land. That's ridiculous. There's no way.

Well, and flying around with jetpacks. That's what I'm getting at. It's absurd. It's absurd. And I knew it was absurd, but the media ran with it. Media organizations all over the world, in Peru, in the United States, they ran with it. I remember watching a news presentation on News Nation, because they were covering the story. It was a big story, what's happening in the Peruvian Amazon.

These people are freaking out. They're saying that aliens are attacking them. This is in 2022? This is 2023, July of 2023. The villagers are saying, we're being assaulted by aliens, and they were saying, they were using the term pela cara. which is face peeler. They're being attacked by pelicadas. Some of them said that the pelicadas are attacking us. Others said these are not humans.
