110: Get A Shot of Protection With The No Agenda Show!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Yeah.
Are you ready?
I was born ready.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
Ah yes, coming to you from Gitmo Nation East and West this time.
It is your Gitmo Nation Audio Publication 110.
This is no agenda.
Coming to you from an undisclosed hotel location in Gitmo Nation East, better known as London Town, the United Kingdom.
I'm Adam Curry.
And I'm supposed to be the one who says I'm in Gitmo Nation, West Northern Silicon Valley to be exact.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Oh, I love it when we hit it.
Right there, Johnny boy.
I felt so professional.
So you're in London reading the news?
Yeah, yeah.
That's what the show is.
Exactly.
I'm in London reading the news.
And you're in San Francisco reading the news.
Yes, but I'm reading the news about how the San Francisco Chronicles decided that the way they're going to save their million dollars a week loss...
Which was confirmed to me, by the way, by the senior advisor to the mayor who I had lunch with.
That what?
That they're in so much trouble they're losing a million dollars a month.
Oh, no.
I mean, I know that everyone knows they're losing a million dollars a week.
I mean, a week.
I'm sorry.
A week, yeah.
That's four million a month.
Hey, they should just give us the stories and give us a million bucks a month and we'd be cool.
Yeah, and they'd save three.
Yeah.
It's a business plan.
Yeah.
The Voice of the West is about to embark on a bold new era that could provide a model.
This is in the paper.
Could provide a model for how daily newspapers can thrive in today's market.
Yes, because these guys know so much about it.
Beginning today, the newspaper will be printed using full-color presses and acquire some of the characteristics of a daily magazine.
A showcase for the dramatic use of sharp, crisp photographs, graphics, and advertisements.
Let me guess.
They have pictures of Iranian protesters with green scarves.
And the green is really good looking.
The new press will have the capability to run color images on almost every page.
Including section fronts.
Quote...
This will be an eye-opening for a lot of people, said publisher Frank J. Vega.
It's going to give us a lot more vibrancy and flexibility.
In other words, we're going to be losing $1.5 million a week.
Apologies right off the top here, the top of the show, for not bringing you your...
No agenda yesterday, and it's usually scheduled time slot on Sunday.
We did make a valiant effort, I would have to say.
But of course, I got completely boned by AT&T, whose DSL line in the undisclosed loft location in San Francisco was working fine.
Until, of course, we started talking about swine flu, then shit got disconnected pretty damn quick.
I called the customer service representative and they said, oh yeah, wow, yeah, you know, that's really interesting.
We rewired stuff at the exchange, for your convenience of course, and I guess we messed up, but oh wow, it's a double whammy.
You have not only a rewiring issue, but there's something wrong at the building too.
And something's wrong in your house.
No, I don't think so.
Nothing changed here.
Nothing.
So then we tried the USB stick, which is also an AT&T product, I might add.
And we actually...
Oh, that was just...
We recorded about five minutes worth.
Yeah, five minutes.
So the AT&T... I figured if the DSL line area was down, probably everybody who had one of those AT&T sticks was using it.
Which is the problem with those stupid sticks.
And I'll tell you, if Mickey and I, because she has one as well, if we're both using the stick at the same time, then neither of us gets any bandwidth.
It's crazy.
It's like two separate radio transmitters.
Well, luckily it doesn't cost that much to have one of those sticks.
Yeah, $60 a month.
$60?
Holy crap!
What a rip-off!
It is.
It's a total freaking rip-off.
And that actually worked reasonably okay two weeks ago.
And now it's just like, forget about it.
It doesn't work.
It's crap.
And of course, I complained about this on Twitter and complained at AT&T and at Comcast Cares, who are really the culprits in all this because they do not provide cable service to downtown San Francisco.
Oh yeah, blame the victim.
What do you mean the victim?
Comcast is the victim.
You don't think they want to provide cable service to downtown San Francisco?
Well, when I spoke to them on the phone, they were like the soup Nazi.
No cable for you!
You downtown!
No cable for you!
Swear to God!
Are you sure?
No cable for you today!
Okay.
I'm sorry.
You do that very well.
That's about all I do.
You sound more like the U.S. has kind of an Asian tween.
It does.
No cable for you!
It does have an Asian tween to it.
And the Comcast Cares guy did Twitter me back, in all fairness.
And he said, really?
He says, you should email my team.
See, this is what I don't like.
And I don't want to email your team.
You should be all over me, dude.
You should be like, your team should be emailing me.
Service is going down the crapper with this economic crisis.
I had such a horrible experience on Virgin Atlantic coming over.
These guys are sucking, too.
I just wrote a letter to the flight service manager, Pete Hickman.
You should write a letter to Richard Branson.
Well, I copied Richard Branson, his personal assistant, Julie King, and the president of Virgin, Steve Ridgway, as well as the personal account management services team, We're all ears.
Okay, so I specifically booked these middle seats.
Because the way the Virgin Atlantic upper class is set up, it's not really great if you're traveling with someone because it's so individualistic.
You have your own suite, which means if you want to talk to someone you're traveling with, you basically got to get up.
And say, hey!
You've got to lean over to talk to someone.
But if you book these middle seats, there's a divider.
And the divider has two little clicks, two clasps, and you slide it right out.
You put it in the overhead bin.
And then it's basically like a big love seat, which is really cool.
And I specifically booked this.
And on the way over, no problem, you know, which was about three or four weeks ago, I slid that out and put it up and boom, all done.
And we had a nice little love seat.
And so we're going to sleep.
I pop the thing out.
We're actually asleep.
And then there's a guy on either side of the aisle waking me up.
It's like when you have two guys towering over you, talking from both sides, it's like really aggressive and confusing, to say the least, when you're just waking up.
And it's like, well, you can't do this.
It's a structural danger to the aircraft.
I'm like, what?
Structural danger to the aircraft?
Yes, yeah, because then the seats buckle.
Okay, well, first of all, how come it was okay four weeks ago?
And if it's a structural danger, why is it so easy to remove?
It's like user removable.
So these guys are just full of crap.
Well, they were aggressive.
Did they work you over?
Did they give you a couple to the gut?
Yeah, they showed me they're Smith and Wesson.
You want two to the head, Curry?
Shut up.
So, you know, it's not like this is a cheap airline or anything.
And, you know, I understand the in-flight massage is gone.
I understand that because of personnel cuts, service is slow and they have less service personnel.
But screw it.
Screw it.
There's cheaper airlines they can use.
Screw these guys.
They better be comping me with two upper class round trips or I'm history as a customer.
I bet you get an upgrade.
An upgrade.
That would be a true insult.
Upgrade.
Upgrade this.
I'll show you my upgrade.
Maybe they won't give you anything.
How about that?
Well, with Christmas they always hand out iPods and bathrobes and all kinds of cool stuff like this.
So we'll see.
Well, that's just the life you lead.
Yes.
So, there was...
John McNamara died apparently this morning.
You know who else died?
Carl Malden.
You know, somebody always dies.
Carl Malden.
Yeah, but that was a couple days ago, but somebody always dies on the day we do the show in the morning.
Before we do the show.
But, of course, it's only in the morning.
In the morning.
Hey, everybody, time for a dead overview.
In the morning.
Yeah, Karl Malden, like, got no press.
Zero.
Well, how could he?
I mean, Michael Jackson's taking over the news.
In fact, there's nothing going.
Apparently, there's no news except Michael Jackson.
Well, you know what?
I was on the news regarding Michael Jackson.
Yes, let's go over this.
This was on MSNBC. Now, of course, I learned my lesson.
Set it up.
Yeah.
So you'll recall, perhaps, from a previous No Agenda program where I was very excited about doing ABC World News Tonight with Charles Gibson, spent an hour and a half, two hours with the crew, and exactly 12 seconds showed up on air.
And I said some really good stuff.
And so then MSNBC sends me an email.
Hey, would you like to be on?
It's like, okay, I'll do your show.
If you give me the title as Adam Curry, you can say XMTVVJ and just put in there PresidentMevio.com.
And it was kind of funny because this was the day, I guess it was Thursday or Friday, when they announced the big tribute at the Nokia Theater at the Staples Arena, which they kept saying over and over and over again, as if these guys had benefited almost.
I know that's the real name of the arenas, but geez, it just comes across kind of eerie.
And so they have a location shoot.
They're outside this press conference, which was a total dud, by the way.
Hey, here's the news.
We're not going to tell you anything about the concert, about the tribute.
But here's the mayor to tell you about how cool they are at controlling the crowds.
And there's no more information.
Enjoy your live shoot.
So they're just trying to fill up time because they got all the reporters out on the scene.
And so I'm on for about five minutes.
I'm going to play you a little bit of the beginning, and then I'll play you the real zinger I got in there at the end.
I'll be able to see very much.
So this is, she's talking to Chris.
From MSNBC is talking to the councilwoman and acting mayor of Los Angeles.
It's a woman and acting mayor, Jan Perry.
It's really nice of you to come over.
I know it's been a busy number of days.
Oh, you're so cool.
Thank you.
It's so hard.
It's so horrible, all this work you're doing.
Thanks so much.
Well, it helps to get the word out.
Okay, thanks so much.
Thank you very much.
And the word, by the way, is if you don't have one of the 17,000 tickets, don't show up.
Michael Jackson and MTV could either have become an American institution without the other.
The 1980s witnessed the birth of music television and the transformation of Michael Jackson from superstar to global sensation.
Just two years after MTV's launch, Jackson released the 14-minute thriller video and the music changed the world forever.
Forever!
Yeah, but listen to how I come in.
Because I'm prepared, right?
I'm going to really get into it and really roll.
Some say Jackson desegregated MTV and ushered in the era of elaborate and high-tech music videos.
Joining us now via Skype is Adam Curry, former MTV VJ. Adam is also president of Medio.com.
Adam, I have to tell you that one of the things that strikes me is I've watched Thriller over the last several days.
And this is so funny because I actually made reference to what she's saying.
I've watched Thriller.
They don't play Thriller.
Have you seen Thriller in its entirety anywhere in the past two weeks, John?
Anywhere?
Have you seen the 14-minute video play?
Who's going to play it?
Of course not.
Of course not.
You can't hear that music playing, you can't have that video playing without stopping what you're doing and watching.
Talk about the impact on popular culture of that Thriller video and even earlier Michael Jackson videos.
Well, Chris, it was really tremendous, and unfortunately, there's hardly a channel that plays the video in its entirety anymore.
It was about 14 minutes long, which of course was completely groundbreaking for the format of music, Now listen to what I say.
She talks about desegregation, but I just call it.
...at the time.
It did more.
It combined conceptual footage with dance, with performance.
It also made directors important all of a sudden.
John Landis, very famous film director, directed the thriller video.
Vincent Price, famous from the...
Many movies with his voice was a part of it.
But Michael Jackson did much more at the time.
He really put black faces on MTV. This was groundbreaking at the time in the mid-80s.
MTV was kind of, you know...
Alright, so enough of that.
Now listen to the end where I sneak in a little bit of No Agenda to speak, which I was quite proud of.
Yes, absolutely.
So, wait a minute.
She sets me up with this stupid question because she's filling time.
And by the way, we want all our listeners to do this when given the opportunity.
What, to call in to MSNBC? No, no, to get in a little no-agenda speak.
Oh, yeah, if you can, absolutely.
Here it comes.
I'm sorry, right now the coffee's being delivered.
Hold on, I'll sign for you.
What's your name?
So what you're going to say is that she asked a dumb question because obviously they're filling time, which they do a lot of on M, or actually all these news stations that talk the...
You know, the news game.
They're waiting for somebody to show up or they're waiting for somebody to say something to their ear.
And so one of the things they're extremely adept at is what I'm doing now, which is just chatter.
Yes, thank you very much, chatter.
Here we go.
Let's listen to her stupid setup question.
It's about, she's saying, oh, well, you know, there's so many videos.
Wait until it comes out on video.
Yeah, and can you imagine if they release some complete videos?
Because we know that these rehearsals were done in high def.
Oh, there's a clue right there, by the way.
The rehearsals were done in high def, so of course there'll be a video, you douche.
That would mean in terms of just viewership to places like MTV. I mean, there seems to be an insatiable appetite for this.
Yes, absolutely.
And I'm amazed as you're showing the footage, and everyone seems to be showing the footage of these rehearsals just two days before his death.
Here's a guy who clearly was in great physical shape.
He had 30, 40 concerts coming up in the O2 Arena in London.
That's a huge production.
You have to be preparing yourself a year in advance, at least physically.
You can't put on a show like that without an enormous insurance coverage, which includes a tremendous amount of physical testing.
So I'm amazed at what happened, that I know that there's breaking news about some form of medicinal drugs that were found in his home.
Quite frankly, I'm amazed that no one is looking at a murder angle on this.
And at this point, there's smoke coming out of her ear.
She's like, and you can just hear the producer going, get that guy off the air!
Well, we shall see.
There's much more to come out.
Well, we shall see.
Well, we shall see.
I'm amazed at what happened, but I know that there's breaking news about some form of medicinal drugs that were found in his home.
I'm quite likely, I'm amazed that no one is looking at a murder angle on this.
Well, we shall see.
I like the long pause.
The pregnant pause.
Crap, what do I do now?
Adam Curry, it's great to talk to you.
Great to talk to you.
My pleasure, Chris.
I'll never be on the air ever again.
Ever.
No.
And I waited for the producer to come back on.
Thank you very much.
Like, nothing.
Like, I waited five minutes.
Like, okay, might as well hang out.
They're not going to thank you.
They're so angry.
Don't pick it up, because I don't want you cussing him out.
Oh, my goodness.
You son of a bitch.
We're not supposed to be talking about...
And, of course, I'll put the entire interview up in the show notes at noagenda.mevia.com and noagenda.squarespace.com, which is our new website.
It's very cool.
Our new website's going up, noagenda.squarespace.com.
If people want to donate, there's also the click buttons there.
Hey, those buttons are cool, John.
I was looking at them, and I like the No Agenda Night Layaway program.
Yeah.
That's pretty awesome.
Looks cool.
Yeah, it's a big button you can click on.
Well, the whole idea is kind of cool.
But more importantly, not a single email, not a single Twitter, not anything about this interview.
No one's watching.
No one.
I can't believe they actually...
Who's buying commercials on that station?
No one's watching.
Right, we have over six figures easy into the number of listeners.
We haven't...
I think it's a different milieu.
The milieu of people that listen to MSNBC or any of those news stations during the day, I don't even have a clue who those people are.
I'd like to see somebody send me a demographic description of who this person is.
It's clearly no one, though.
It's just no one.
It's no one.
I think the numbers are extremely low.
Well, you know, when we were at Tech TV, our most popular show was Screensavers, I believe.
Yeah, it was Leo's show, right?
Leo and Patrick Norton.
Hey, Norton!
Norton!
I saw Eddie Murphy's Raw over the weekend.
Have you ever seen that?
Yeah.
His classic Raw?
Hey, Norton, why'd you come over here?
Anyway, yes, screensavers.
How many people watch that?
40,000.
40,000 tops?
So Leo's got like 10 times the audience.
Leo's got at least a half a million.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
He's got 10 times the audience on the podcast.
Hey, how'd that go yesterday, by the way?
Of course, I was flying, so I couldn't come up to the cottage.
I would have loved to have been on the show and have some wine with you.
Yeah, we had some Macedonian wine.
How was the show, though?
The show was...
I thought it was okay.
It was functional.
It was a journeyman's job.
I didn't, you know, bring in...
I had Natalie on.
She was on the video thing.
Jill Conti?
Yeah.
How's she doing?
She's doing good.
She's doing good.
She's still in New York.
Yeah, she's got some gig at one of the CBS morning shows or something like that.
Yeah, she's at the morning show, dude.
That was part of the whole deal.
That's why she left.
Right on.
Power to her.
I've never seen her on that thing, but she looked terrific on this video thing.
She was on a little webcam, and she looked better than the average person normally.
I'll just have you know that we took her from a writing journalist only, put her on video, and now she's on the CBS Morning Show.
This is what can happen when you hook up with Mevio.
This can happen to anybody.
It can happen to you.
That's right.
If it can happen to Natalie, it can happen to anybody.
So, anyway, yeah, she's fine.
Yeah, it was a good show.
It was alright.
You know, it wasn't a threat to Leo, that's for sure.
Hey, um...
I remember on our Aborted program, you had this great rap about Sarah Palin.
Now, of course, because I already got part of the setup, I've looked into it a little bit more.
But I think you should really launch into that because this is highly interesting.
Yeah, let's take a look.
Here's what happened.
There is a Sarah Palin Gate website run by this woman named Regina who apparently hates Sarah.
Is it Sarah Palin Gate?
Yeah, something like that.
I think it's Sarah Palingate.blogspot.com.
If you Google Sarah Palingate, you'll get it.
I think it's blogspot.com.
Anyway, and there's another website called conservativesforpalin.com, which is run by this woman out of Los Angeles who is a Palin kind of a maven, and she's a pit bull.
And she...
Was attacking something that Palin is having a beef with a fellow Republican in Alaska over the fact that some monies aren't being distributed that were supposed to be distributed to some poor people someplace in the state.
And then so he slammed Palin and then Palin slammed him and then the pitbull at conservativesforpalin.com She blasted the crap out of this guy and discovered that he owned stock in BP and she did an investigative thing and she wrote a whole bunch of stuff up.
So I'm looking into all this because I'm finding the whole thing kind of fascinating because this is the day that she quits.
She says, I've only been here for two and a half years and I'm not going to finish off my year and a half because I think it's unfair to the people because she's getting sued left and right on these trivial lawsuits which she claims has cost her $500,000 which Which is about right.
You get a trivial lawsuit typically will cost an average person $40,000.
Easy, easy.
That is the baseline number people use.
So if she's had 12 of them, that's about a half a million.
But is she being sued personally or in her capacity as the governor?
Well, that's what I don't get.
Why is the governor?
Why is the state?
I don't get that part, but that's fine.
I kept digging and digging.
So then I ran into a thing that the woman posted, and it's on my blog, by the way.
Just look up Palin or Alaska Independence Party.
There was a bitch back and forth, and by the way, Andrew Sullivan had a real mean-spirited slam at Sarah, which was actually very interesting.
Uh-oh.
John?
John?
Wait, hold on.
I lost you there, John.
You're back.
Okay, so anyway, Andrew Sullivan had a thing.
Everyone should look it up in The Atlantic, I think, in his blog about Palin, calling you a whack job.
Okay, but what's the problem?
I don't understand.
Well, let me keep...
This is the problem.
I think you kind of explained the whole background.
So one of the things that cropped up during the presidential campaign was that her husband was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, which is a party that wants to succeed, seriously wants to succeed from the union.
Okay, succeed means break off from the United States and become their own country.
And she says, well, it was just a mistake.
He checked the wrong box on a ballot.
And she made some phony baloney excuse.
And it turns out that now, and it's posted on my blog, the last convention of the Alaskan Independence Party, this guy starts giving his talk about how we were screwed.
We shouldn't have become a state because they brought in the U.S. government.
A bunch of military guys came in and voted for statehood.
And they wouldn't let the Native Americans vote for statehood.
And it was just a scam.
And then they ended up with the state because the United States wanted the gold Okay, let me play that back.
So, you mean the Eskimos?
Yeah, and there's other Indian tribes up there.
So they weren't allowed to vote?
No.
Okay.
But 40,000 or 80,000 U.S. military were.
And it goes on and on.
Then he starts discussing how Sarah was a member of the party, and that it was a good thing that she changed her affiliation to Republican so she could run for governor, And he was advising that everybody else do the same thing because it's a great way to get in there and we can make the changes we need to make.
So I'm thinking, maybe Palin quit so she could rejoin the party, which nobody knew about, by the way.
Okay, I get it, yeah.
But, listen, but the fact of the matter is there's no way that she could have been a member for so long and intelligence agencies didn't know this, and the Republican Party had to know it when they made her the vice president, so why would they do this?
And the Democrats had to know this, but they never brought it up.
What was the deal with that?
Because they all want Alaska to break off, I guess.
That's my theory.
The way it goes, except the Democrats have an issue with this, because they can't, Obama can't be the one president in the United States that has lost a state.
I mean, this...
Oh, shoot!
What happened?
Dang!
I lost a state!
Where's my state gone?
So I'm thinking that Biden talked about the crisis that's going to happen, the crisis, the crisis, and Obama's going to do something unpopular.
Unpopular as in arrest Sarah Palin for sedition.
Wow.
Now that would cause a stir.
But the idea is that if you take a look at the economic hitman theory of the universe, the idea is they got Alaska in and then all these crackpot environmentalists won't let them drill in Alaska.
And that's all Palin bitched and moaned about during the entire campaign was, why can't we drill in Alaska?
Why can't we drill in Alaska?
Drill, baby, drill.
And so if they split the state off and make it its own country somehow through some international legal action, well, they can drill the place dry now.
Well, hold on.
Here's the quote.
I don't have the audio.
Mark my words, Biden told donors at a Seattle fundraiser Sunday night.
It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.
The world is looking.
We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.
Watch.
We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.
And he's going to need help to stand with him because it's not going to be apparent initially.
It's not going to be apparent that we're right.
Hmm.
I don't know if that...
I'm just saying.
It doesn't really sound like it, John.
Well, it doesn't sound like anything.
But whatever the case is, this would be an international incident.
So, okay, so what you're saying is...
And by the way, she just did the anniversary of the statehood, which I don't know, I think I have a link to it in one of my blog posts.
And she's going on and on.
And the people that were at this event, by the way, it's like the 50th anniversary or something like that, or 60th.
I guess it was 50th.
Yeah, 59 I think is when they became a state.
So who was there?
The Russian ambassador, there was a bunch of international people.
There wasn't one celebrity, one American politician that attended this thing.
It was really weird.
Wow.
Okay.
So, uh, her resigning, does that then, uh, keep her clear to become Empress of Alaska?
Empress.
Uh, no, I don't, I mean, she, I don't know, she didn't have to really resign, but I think if she's going to pull a stunt like this, I think she, you know, figures she might be able to.
Uh, It would probably be better if she wasn't a senator because there's probably some legal...
I don't think she could...
I mean, I think that she maybe could be accused of treason or forms of sedition.
Who knows?
All I know is that it seems to me that she didn't...
I mean, people are speculating on why she resigned, saying, well, maybe she's under indictment.
Maybe there's this, maybe there's that.
And I'm thinking that a lot of this doesn't make sense.
If you're under indictment, I mean, ask, what's his name in Italy?
Berlusconi.
You're under indictment.
You want to stay in office so you can use the power of your office to defend office.
Yeah, and make new laws so that...
What's the word I'm looking for?
He put the statute of limitations.
Yeah, he changed them.
He said, anything before 2005, it's okay.
All this shit was done in 2003.
So anyway, this is my thinking, but when you hear this guy, this bearded character who was one of the hotshots in the Alaskan Independence Party, and they were about one thing and one thing only, which is getting their freedom from the United States.
It's a separationist group, very similar to Quebecers, when they're more serious.
And...
It seems to me that, you know, that Sarah's not one of the, she's one of the many of these people that have, you know, become Republicans or Democrats or whatever, just to kind of pretend to be something else.
Now, is she originally from Alaska?
Was she born and raised there?
No, I think she was raised in Idaho and moved to Alaska early.
So what's her patriotic thing about Alaska?
Why is she, you know, is this Todd who's forcing this on her?
Yeah, well, Todd is an Inuit, so he's like half Eskimo of some sort.
He's Eskimo, got it.
So, yeah, there's probably some connection there.
But whatever the case, I mean, she has enough popularity in the state, and when the guy talked about it, he said, like, Ted Stevens and all that, they're all in on this.
They were building the bridge to nowhere just to steal some money from the U.S. government.
But it wouldn't actually be a bad thing.
I'm not against it if Alaska wants to be their own country.
That's cool with me.
That's fine.
Texas may do the same thing.
I think Texas would have a harder go of it.
Alaska's only 50 years old, and I think they have some.
And they can stall everyone that was part of the changeovers.
Many of them are still there, and they can point to the fraud.
Huh.
You mean the election fraud of becoming a state?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
And how would that affect anything, really?
Who cares?
Obama would lose his state!
Dude!
Where'd my state go?
My state!
That still doesn't matter.
The American public doesn't care.
You're too stupid.
As long as Britney Spears is going to do her show.
Well, obviously they're more interested in Michael Jackson being dead than anything.
So now somebody's talking about how they want to plasticine him with his monkey.
Well, Bubbles isn't dead.
Well, he will be.
If they plasticine him, yeah.
So what's this foreign oil quote?
Oh yeah, this is a good one.
Why don't you play this clip?
This is an advertisement for Audi.
Okay, play it now?
Specifically, it's an advertisement for Audi Diesel.
Okay, here we go.
1.5 million barrels of foreign oil every day.
If only one-third of us drove clean diesel, we could send it all back.
Diesel.
It's no longer a dirty word.
Okay.
Well, let me get this straight.
1.5 million barrels.
By the way, we import in the United States 13.5, but they're talking about 1.5 for some reason, which I guess is what makes diesel.
What do they think diesel's made out of?
Out of oil?
Made out of dog pee?
Diesel requires oil to be manufactured.
It's just another, it's a distillate.
It's one of the things that comes off the still.
Now, the fact of the matter is, according to, this number is a little sketchy, but most people believe that diesel requires 20% more crude oil to manufacture.
So where are we sending these 1.5 million barrels back to?
Back to Canada.
Back to Canada.
Where it comes from.
We have to bring it back again to make the damn diesel.
Who are these people kidding?
Do they think we're stupid?
Uh, let me think.
Yeah.
Of course.
I'd like to find out who did that ad and what they were thinking.
That ad was an insult to everybody's intelligence.
You think that ad's an insult?
You want to hear a really insulting ad?
Go.
Joe brought it home from the office.
He gave it to Betty and one of his kids and to Betty's mother.
But Betty's mother went back to California the next day before she knew she had it.
On her way to the airport, Betty's mother gave it to the cab driver, to the ticket agent, and to one of the charming stewardesses.
Joe's kid gave it to some other kids in second and fourth grades.
And Mrs.
In Nero, the third grade teacher, she got it and gave it to her husband.
And in California, Betty's mother gave it to her best friend, Dottie.
But Dottie had a heart condition, and she died.
But before she died, Dottie gave it to her friend and the mailman and the people.
If a swine flu epidemic comes, this is how it could spread.
You'll want to be protected, especially if you're elderly or chronically ill.
Get a shot of protection.
The swine flu shot.
Recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service.
I thought she was giving people gonorrhea the way it was going.
But she died.
But before she died, she gave it to someone else.
This is a PSA, dude.
These are for real.
I got 30s, I got 60s, I got everything you want.
How much swine flu?
Get the swine flu shot.
Get a shot of protection.
That's going to be the new slogan.
A shot of protection.
I like it.
Yes, you would.
How does it go from June 19th, according to the stats, June 19th, we had 21,449 cases of swine flu in the United States with 87 dead, all of course having borderline dead before they got it.
They were on the ropes.
They were on the ropes.
Go ahead.
And then, by the way, your stream just died, according to somebody.
Really?
Yeah.
Looks like I'm still streaming here.
Okay, let's just let it go for a while.
I'll start it again.
Oh, interesting.
What'd it do?
I don't know.
Alright, keep going.
I'll fix it.
Okay, so anyway, we had 21,000 with 87 dead on June 19th.
By July 4th, which is like two weeks later, we had twice as many dead.
We had 34,000 cases with 170 dead.
How did so many people die within two weeks so quickly?
These numbers are bull.
Hold on.
I'm seeing what's going on here, John.
Why the hell is this?
I hate this.
Alright, the stream died.
That's alright.
Everything else is still working.
I'll set that up.
You know, in The Guardian, I read this morning upon arrival in the United Kingdom, that they...
Well, now you died.
Paleringgate.org.
Alright, we're back.
I tell you a million times, just because you can't hear me doesn't mean I can't hear you or that the system's down.
Yeah, so anyway, you were saying, but I wasn't hearing anything, so you were saying what?
No, of course you weren't hearing anything, because when I'm rerouting stuff, then you can't hear me.
It doesn't mean hang up.
Anyway, what I was saying is that The Guardian in the UK is predicting 50,000 cases a day come August in the UK alone.
50,000 new cases a day.
Yeah, with 50 million dead.
I saw that one, too.
Oh, really?
No, I didn't see that.
So it'd be 50 million dead, 40 dying a day in Great Britain.
This is, you know, there's a whole bunch of...
We really hit the jackpot with the swine flu topic last week.
People really, really clung on to this and have really been starting to take notice.
Here it is in Ireland.
This is from The Independent in Ireland.
Everyone in the country is shortly to be offered a free swine flu vaccination as health authorities brace themselves for a worst case scenario of up to 100,000 new cases a week in Ireland.
After a month, the country will all be dead, I guess, with 100,000 a week.
The vaccines, which will cost the exchequer 88 million euros, will be administered either through GPs or a network of 121 swine flu clinics.
See, they already know how many there are going to be.
They'll be set up nationwide as soon as sufficient amounts of the vaccine are available in late summer or early autumn.
The Health Services Executive, that's HSE, confirmed last night.
They will manufacture 7.7 million doses of the vaccine for Ireland.
This is happening everywhere, and it's the same exact thing.
Everywhere, every country in the world, and of course this is totally what the Lisbon Treaty is all about.
Because the Lisbon Treaty, which has yet to be ratified, but we're getting very close to it just being ramrodded through, really allows for this.
It provides for this type of action.
As we know, there are state senators and lawyers in the United States who believe it is a completely constitutional act.
To force vaccinations upon the fine citizens of the United States because you're a threat, of course.
You're a walking weapon.
Someone suggested to me that the swine flu vaccine, the experimental swine flu vaccine, is actually going to be an agent that is a binary thing to actually save your life.
Oh, please.
And so everyone who doesn't take the vaccine, who are obviously troublemakers, all die.
Here's the Guardian.
Swine flu is spreading so rapidly across Britain that there could be 100,000 new cases a day by the end of next month, the Health Secretary Andy Burnham said today.
100,000 a month, a day, by next month.
100,000 a day.
Just do the math on this.
100,000 a day, that's 3 million in a month?
How many are there now?
Let's see, in the United States, I just mentioned there was 34,000.
And by the way, most of these are mild, by the way.
Except for the few people that have, you know, they're lingering.
I don't know.
It's just a whole thing.
I mean, it's obviously just a money-making idea.
Well, yeah, you can see it as just a money-making idea, or you can see it as, well, now, of course, everyone's looking at this as, you know, comparing it to the book of Revelation, where, you know, you're marked with the mark of the beast, and if you don't play nice, then you'll live, right?
So you won't die if you don't take the swine flu shot, but, of course, you will have no money, you'll have no place to live, you will not be able to get food, right?
So there's a prison, I just got a note from someone, there's like a prison uprising over swine flu outside of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
I'm trying to decide what, it's a vague discussion here in the news article.
Nobody knows why this thing was started.
There's 12 people with...
12 inmates came down with flu symptoms.
One of those may have had the swine flu.
The others, they don't know.
So what's the uprising?
They're all worried.
They want to get out.
Let us out.
We don't want to get swine flu.
Yeah.
I think that must be it.
Meanwhile, front page in Gitmo Nation East...
Well, I mean, if you scare the public to death with this kind of propaganda, what do you expect?
I mean, the numbers just don't add up.
The numbers don't add up, and the people that are having a problem with the swine flu, including in that PSA they mentioned it, it was the one woman who died who was about to die anyway.
I mean, you could have like a million people with a heart condition, and then a million of them could get the swine flu, and then one of them could die, and you'd say, well, you know, the swine flu is killing everybody.
I mean, the whole thing, these numbers are no good.
They don't have enough dead people to make this work.
Let's listen to another one.
Hold on a second.
There's got to be more.
I want to hear the shorter versions of these PSAs.
Hey, I'm the healthiest 55-year-old you've ever seen.
If a swine flu epidemic comes, your good health won't protect you.
Get a shot of protection.
The swine flu shot.
Recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service.
Why do we need this?
I mean, we don't have to...
The regular flu kills a half a million people.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let's listen to another one.
The swine flu shot?
I don't know.
I've been thinking about it.
If a swine flu epidemic comes, thinking about it won't protect you.
Get a shot of protection.
The swine flu shot.
That's the meme, dude.
Get a shot of protection.
Listen to No Agenda.
I don't need another flu shot.
I had a flu shot last year.
If a swine flu epidemic comes, last year's shot won't protect you.
Get a shot of protection, the swine flu shot, recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service.
So this thing is not even available yet, this swine flu shot.
No, they have to fast-track it because they really can't prove it's a good shot.
I mean, in 1976, we had an outbreak of a form of swine flu.
And the shot, nobody died from the swine flu.
It was really super mild.
But the shot killed between 25 and 300 people.
Is that all?
500 people at least.
Is that all?
Well, we really need to work on this.
This has got to kill a lot more people.
This shot is no good.
It might.
But the worst part was 500 people got Guillain-Barre disease or syndrome, that crazy thing that paralyzes you.
Yeah.
A friend of mine got that.
And is he still paralyzed?
No, no, he got over it, but it was horrible.
Get over it.
He got over it.
The worst part was his eyeball.
What's your problem?
Get over it.
His eyeball was frozen.
We'll have all these people walking around with frozen eyeballs.
It's another place.
We laugh.
I got this in Australia.
We got 23, another prison outbreak is causing rioting there in Queensland.
Because again, the prisoners are, you know, they're freaked.
You know, I mentioned this to Maggie at the office.
Now Maggie, you have to understand, is, I think she's a former Black Panther.
She's, well, she's 60 now?
She's got to be 60.
Yeah, something like that.
Sixty, very strong-willed African-American woman.
Fantastic executive assistant.
Makes me laugh.
She really cracks me up.
And I told her about these forced vaccinations, and her head like snapped around like, what?
I said, yeah, you're going to have to take the swine flu shot.
She's like, oh, no, you didn't.
I said, yes, absolutely.
And then I told her the whole binary thing about...
That is probably engineered so that people who eat genetically modified potatoes, i.e.
french fries, most likely from McDonald's, that they're going to die first.
And then she's like, oh damn, they're targeting poor black people again.
Like, yes Maggie, now you get it.
She's like, I should listen to that no agenda show.
She's like, yes you should.
She should.
Here's another one.
Swine flu quarantine at San Quentin Prison.
My God.
So here's what they do.
They're going to let the prisoners out, right?
I don't know what the deal is with all these prisons, but this seems to be something going on here.
Story after story cropping up.
Cambridge prison riot sparked by swine flutes, another in the Boston-ist.
Let's see, there's maybe one more I keep getting.
They're just flowing in, aren't they?
Meanwhile, front page of the Guardian this morning, I'm sorry, the Times, I read this in the car on the way to the hotel, The Conservative Party, who of course, if there was an election here, labor would be thrown out in a heartbeat, and the Tories, as they're known, would be in power.
They're pretty much set to transfer the National Health Service patient records to Google and Microsoft.
Yay!
Yay!
And of course, there's a huge conflict of interest because...
I'm looking for it here.
One of the...
One of the guys who's high up in the conservative party is married to Google's PR woman.
So there's all kinds of hoopla going on about that.
Well, that's a conflict of interest.
Yeah.
Do you know how much that they have set aside...
Because, of course, it was like two or three billion pounds to create this centralized database, and it's not working, and no one's using it, and it's a big clusterfuck, basically.
But now, Mr.
Cameron...
He's the leader of the Conservative Party.
He's repeatedly promised to abolish large IT databases.
The National Audit Office has said that Connecting for Health, that's the Electronic Patient Records Program, will not be completed in 2014.
Expect it to cost.
How much do you think it's going to cost to set up basically a database with everyone's insurance numbers?
Well, if you see, it costs the setting of a database, which most of the tools are out there, and there's good quality people that could do it.
You'd probably cost, in real terms, it should cost about $250,000.
Okay.
How about 12.4 billion pounds?
Okay.
That's like $20 billion.
John, we're in the wrong racket, dude.
No kidding.
We've got to start building databases.
$20 billion to build a stupid database that contains insurance codes.
And then they're going to outsource it to Google.
And of course, Google's Eric Schmidt is now a member of the Conservative Business Coalition.
He's over here all the time.
And Cameron speaks at Google events.
It's so transparent.
It's funny.
Somebody said our stream died again, saying it's no coincidence.
No, it is not.
I'm sure it's not.
Eric sent me a link to the Google search.
You search now for prison swine flu, and you run into 435 articles, many of them with the headline, Prison Swine Flu Spreads.
Wow.
So, something's up with this prison and swine flu thing.
Swine flu at a South Miami-Dade women's prison has infected 13 inmates and hospitalized one.
So what?
It's a flu.
I had it.
Yeah, it's...
I don't know.
It's not a big deal.
They're not even saying you vomit when you have the swine flu.
I know.
It's just like a little bit of diarrhea, runny nose, cough.
Yeah, okay, so it's a flu.
These prisoners have been...
Yeah, but these people are incarcerated.
Here's what it might be.
You're in prison.
People are trying to get in the swine flu.
One of the guys dies mysteriously.
They're trying to get rid of us.
This is the easiest way to lower the prison population.
We've got to get out of here!
I'm telling you.
I don't understand.
There's something wrong with Primcast.
That's the provider we have.
Oh, you mean in the stream?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It shows that I'm pooping out a stream here.
It's connected, so I don't understand what's wrong.
Maybe it's the one guy.
Just leave it alone.
I'm not going to touch anything.
We're recording.
That's the good news, I think.
Hold on.
Yeah, we're recording.
Mr.
Curry!
Mr.
Curry!
Oh, jeez.
Oh, jeez.
A lot of news about the scare bus, the plastic airplanes that keep falling out of the sky.
And a lot of people really sending me good, detailed information on electronic...
What is it?
EMPs.
Electromagnetic pulse weapons.
Oh, by the way, before you get into that, I want to remind everybody we did have July the 5th.
Where was the North Korean attack on the Hawaiian Islands?
They shot off a couple of missiles, didn't they?
It was so funny to watch Michael Jackson full screen and underneath the crawl, Korea launches missiles.
What?
Wait a minute.
We've got the news all screwed up here.
It's a little backwards.
But where was the attack on Hawaii?
I want to know.
Yeah, we put up a big giant...
What did we put up?
We put up a big thing, didn't we?
In Hawaii?
To thwart it?
Oh, giant radar.
Giant radar, that's right.
When will people realize that this is all just scare tactics?
It's nothing more.
Well, I think, well, people, listeners to our show, of course, you know, it's not that we're not scaring them.
So for Flight 447, there was absolutely no lightning in the area, according to a detailed meteorological analysis, which you'll find the links in the show notes at noagenda.media.com and noagenda.squarespace.com.
Yet, there were these Mexican pilots who saw a flash...
In the sky, both 447 crashed into the ocean intact.
That much they know for sure.
Although still no black boxes to be found.
Which kind of surprises me since they heard the black box, from my understanding, like weeks ago.
So now they're not going to find it because it's going to be dead now.
Unless they have found it.
Did I mention that, I don't think I did, I think I mentioned on our aborted episode that, this is a Dutch article, that pension fund ABP owns...
Sorry.
Pension fund ABP owns several rights to Michael Jackson's music, and they are very happy.
They're very happy that it's selling so well.
No plans to buy any Beatles rights, they say.
But gee, it's really cool.
I just say follow the money.
Yeah, well, Sony's going to end up with those Beatles songs.
And one other thing, John, what is the U6 data?
Are you familiar with this when it comes to unemployment in the U.S.? No, it's one of the numbers they develop.
I don't know what it means.
Horowitz would know.
Okay, we should talk to him about it because there's a Wall Street Journal article here.
Because we've got new joblessness numbers.
There's all kinds of lying and bullshit going on.
And I never believe these numbers when they say, okay, unemployment is...
Well, they keep changing them, you know.
That's the funniest thing.
They keep changing the way they calculate them.
They'll give you a number like, and then when the next number comes out, they readjust the old number up.
And so the new number looks better.
It's just the whole thing.
It's a scam.
Right.
So it was 9.5%, which was apparently the highest level since August of 1983.
But another more comprehensive gauge of unemployment also continued to tick up.
This is the U6 number, which is the comprehensive measure, Of labor underutilization accounts for people who have stopped looking for work or who can't find full-time jobs.
Yeah, like unemployed, I guess is what that is.
Yeah, that's a different unemployed number.
That thing, I think, is 16.6 or something like that.
Yeah, 16.5.
So is the real number 16.5?
Is that really the number?
Yeah, no, that's the real unemployment number.
But then do you add the 9.5 to that and we come up with...
No, no, that's the total number with the 9.5 in it.
Okay, so 16.5 is the real unemployment.
Yeah.
Jesus.
Isn't that bordering on the Great Depression numbers?
The Great Depression, I think, hit as high as it was generally seen as 25%, and I think it maybe poked 33% at one point.
So I think this is a perfect time to bring up the fact that we are a listener-supported show, and seeing as we too soon will be out of a job, we really need your help.
And we're getting a lot of help, too, and I want to mention some names today, including a new night...
And I find it interesting that our new knight Troy Walters is in Australia.
So what did Troy do to become a knight of the No Agenda Roundtable?
He clicked on the knight button and he gave us $1,000.
$1,000 U.S. or Australian?
No, it's $1,000 U.S. Wow.
Troy, thank you so much, man.
That's awesome.
So let's go over some of our new donors.
We've got Noel Malinowski, $50.
Francis McClure, $50.
Fyodor Savileyev, and I might pronounce that wrong, but it's Fyodor Savileyev, as far as I can tell.
He's in Moscow, and he gave us $60.
Alexander Selenioff, who is in Finland, and that name is going to be S-E-L-E-Z-N-Y-O-V. He's in Finland, and he gave us, and I'm surprised, by the way, that he's the first guy to give us this, $123.45.
Oh, I like that.
One, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four, five.
Yeah, good one.
Now we're waiting for the one, two, three, four, five, six person to come.
Yes, we are.
Who's going to be the first?
We've got John Matthews, along with Father Frank, on the Layaway Night program.
So now the Layaway program is 20 installments of 50 bucks?
Is that how it works?
Yeah.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Thank you so much for having a future night.
Future night.
And Alfred Person, P-E-R-S-S-O-N. Henrik Jorlo, B-J-O-R-L-O, and he's in Oslo, 55.
Michael Gruden, 50.
David Sauter, $96.80.
I don't know.
How much?
$96.80.
I think it was supposed to be $100 and some...
I don't know how he did it, but somewhere along the line, they...
They took money.
They took money.
Somebody took money.
Thanks, PayPal.
Felix Schudel, $100, and he's in Zurich.
We had a lot of international people this week.
Robert McCau...
He's a Zurich banker.
Actually, no, he runs a promotions company, I think.
Robert McCoskey, 50 Australia.
Gary Lader, Michael LeBlanc, William Cordes, K-O-R-T-E-S, and it's Willem, W-I-L-L-E-M. You might want to guess where he's from.
He must be from Holland.
Rotterdam.
Ah, excellent.
Rotterdam in the house.
How much did Willem give us?
$50.
Jordan Wyatt, $50 from New Zealand.
And then one of my favorites is Tristan Lennon, who's in Australia, but he's not just in Australia.
He's in a town called Wagga Wagga.
Oh, yes.
I'm very familiar with Wagga Wagga.
Wagga Wagga is like New South Wales is now going to be one of my...
I have these towns that I like to refer to when I write once in a while.
I always like to talk about Gnawbone, Indiana.
And people, when they read the column, they'll look it up.
They'll say, what is this?
They'll find there's a real city named Gnawbone.
So what happens with these nights, John?
What are we going to do for them?
Do we have three nights now?
We've got three nights and two in waiting.
So do we put their pictures on the website or do we just send their addresses directly to the feds?
What do we do?
You know, the funny thing is these guys, the typical guy who's a knight, they don't want us to...
This guy from Australia, Walters, he doesn't want us to buy him the underwear or anything.
What?!
You don't want underwear.
Oh my gosh.
So I don't know.
We will do the sheepskin thing for sure and the fancy scroll probably hand done.
And how about our dinner?
Did anyone respond to the idea of the $500 a plate dinner?
No.
Good idea.
It's working.
Not one person.
Look, I'll tell you what.
If you give me $500, I'll go to dinner with you clowns.
Yeah, no.
We should probably bring that up as a more serious thing and see if anybody's interested.
We only need 10 people, right?
10 and we'll have a great dinner.
We want 10 people.
We'll have a bottle of some really good wine.
Great wine in a great restaurant.
One bottle.
One bottle.
For all ten of us.
What?
It'd be a giant bottle then.
I still think it's a fabulous idea.
I think so too.
But anyway, I want to thank all these people who helped us out.
It was actually a good week.
I think it's because we did a good show last week.
And I would like to, for our Russian friend, of course, the President is in Russia today.
There's a lot of Russia in the news, and I think that we should do some Russian news.
We're going to have to do Australian news from the sound of all these Aussies that are listening.
I might have some Australian news, but let me do some Russian news first, because this pertains to Flight 448.
And there's some real data in here, so you might want to get a pen and paper handy.
448 or 447?
447, I'm sorry.
Yeah, you might want to write this down.
Ah, please.
Look, I can't do a conference call right now.
Jesus.
Reports circulating in the Kremlin today.
Are saying that Russian Air Force commanders have issued warnings to all of their aircraft to exercise, quote, To latitude 8 north,
latitude 19 south, and between the longitudes of 46 west, 33 west, 46 east, and 33 east, which covers the greater part of the African tectonic plates.
The reason for this unprecedented warning is the rapid formations of geomagnetic storms Emanating from the boundaries of the African tectonic plate that due to their intensity have caused the loss of two major passenger aircraft during the past month, killing nearly 300.
So the Russian...
What are you reading from?
From my Russian sources, comrade.
So what they're basically saying is that these plastic airplanes that are falling out of the sky...
is because of this huge geomagnetic storms that are taking place which essentially it makes sense when you look at the data from 447 we don't have any data on the Yemen aircraft yet Well, there is a, you know, you do have, when the tectonic plates shift, you do have a piezoelectric effect.
Exactly.
And the piezoelectric effect, by the way, which can take place on a smaller scale, is responsible, they believe, for certain kinds of weird anomalies in swamplands in the American South, where there's a lot of piezoelectric activity, that creates ball lightning.
Exactly.
With no clouds in the sky.
Exactly.
So you get lightning, and also, any kind of geomagnetic storm can severely affect a highly computerized aircraft that is fly-by-wire.
Remember all the data that was coming out of 447, all this confusing information?
This thing was probably zapped by a geomagnetic storm, whether it was from the Earth or man-made, who knows?
But I like this report.
It's interesting.
Well, and the other thing is that all this activity, all this craziness is all taking place in the southern hemisphere, and typically these things are isolated.
We haven't had any craziness like this in the northern hemisphere yet.
So, of course, NASA has even reported that there's very strong shifts in the pole activity, which, of course, are all magnetic.
So there's really something going on.
You know, this is the 2012 phenomenon.
And I truly think there is something happening here.
Wait a minute.
What do you mean the 2012?
You're not going to go in that direction, are you?
Well, do you want to be killed?
The end is nigh!
Read the book of Revelation!
Here's the one.
Russia Today has a top story, which is kind of related, but it's got more of the...
The Russian Today people obviously are trying to get into the Western, trying to push their news into the Western media by having compelling headlines.
Let me read it to you.
Did global warming help bring down Air France Flight 447?
There you go.
Global warming.
And for those of you who really want to read a little bit about how corrupt our government is and how involved Goldman Sachs is in the corruption, Matt Taibbi wrote a fantastic piece in Rolling Stone magazine.
I don't know if it's in the magazine, but it's certainly on the website.
It's called The Great American Bubble Machine.
Yeah, no, it's in the magazine.
Okay, subhead Matt Tabby on how Goldman Sachs has engineered every major market manipulation since the Great Depression.
We've talked about this almost ad nauseum when it comes to leaders of the Treasury or the Federal Reserve.
They're all ex-Goldman Sachs guys.
And this is a real journalist.
We need to protect this guy.
In fact, we should take some of our money and just hire bodyguards for this dude because he's doing good work.
I think he's fine.
Once you do this story, what difference does it make?
You know, it's over.
Here's a funny story my wife dug up.
Apparently, Nome, the town of Nome, spelled G-N-O-M-E, no, I'm sorry, it's just N-O-M-E, Alaska, has invited Madoff's wife to move there, and they'll pick up the tab.
Oh, of course, because then Madoff, who of course will have a heart attack, Oh, yeah.
Because, you know, the guy's not going to sit in jail for 150 years.
No, no.
He had to have an exit strategy.
That's been my theory from the beginning.
There's no way that he hasn't got a million schemes to get out of this deal.
Yeah, that he can go live in Alaska, and then he can be under the auspices of...
The new country.
Empress Palin.
Empress Palin can run things.
Jeez.
All right.
You got anything else, bud?
Just the, uh, there's a couple more things that we can bring up on the next show.
I mean, we have a lot of material backing up.
Uh, I was mentioning Adnobo in Indiana, the other town, by the way, I like to refer to, and I was told this some years ago, that when you're in B.C., Canada, if you, during a speech, just bring up the town named Spuzzum.
Spuzzum?
Spuzzum.
And you'll get a big laugh.
This guy says, you're going to get a big laugh.
Just say it.
So I said it.
Got a huge laugh.
And so every time I go to BC now, I bring it up into the conversation.
Spuzzum.
Which is a real town somewhere down near the Washington border somewhere, I think.
Anyway, Spuzzum.
That's just a tip for you public speakers out there speaking in Canada.
Only works in BC, though, for some reason.
A. A. Okay.
I think it's his stream that's dying, because I don't get any sense of it.
There may be one or two hiccups here and there.
So how much have we done today?
It's our time.
We're about 60 minutes right now.
Oh, okay.
Do you want to go a minute longer?
No.
Let me see if I have anything else.
I might have one more thing.
I have a bunch of stuff, but it's not...
Anything worthwhile?
I haven't digested a lot of this material.
Let me see what my Russian sources say.
There's always something good from them.
I'm really liking the Geo...
Russia warrants.
I like that, too.
I like that a lot.
The magnetic storms?
And it's possible.
I mean, there's a possibility that these...
Because I'm very familiar with that effect, and it's nasty.
But, you know, a big Earth movement sent an electromagnetic pulse into the sky and knocked something out of the air.
It wouldn't surprise me, but the only problem is there must have been some other aircraft in the area, unless it's just a...
I don't know how you can target it.
That's kind of the thing that...
Well, here's good.
Here's some good stuff.
Okay, again from Russia, because there's a lot coming out of Russia.
I'm reading off the cuff here.
A dire report marks item 3 on the agenda to be discussed between visiting President Obama and President Medvedev in the Kremlin warns that our world will reach the point where our planet is no longer able to provide the food needed for its human inhabitants who must maintain at least 2,500 calories needed to keep our bodies functioning properly and that should happen by September of this year.
Even worse for our world, Michel Leroux, head of the U.S. Climate Prediction Center, is reporting today that a nascent El Nino weather cycle threatens to wreak more economic havoc and disrupt raw material production across a wide swath of the world, evoking memories of the killer edition of 1998.
Are we due for another El Nino?
There's a cycle.
I don't know what the list is.
I think it's 11 years, isn't it?
Yeah, something like this.
It's like the sunspot cycle a little bit.
And this is why they're going to kill you with the swine flu.
Get your shot.
This is why they're going to kill you with the swine flu shot.
We have to kill people.
In order for some to survive.
This is not me making this shit up.
Google it.
Kill people.
Five billion.
That's how many have to go away in order for the rest to survive.
How many billion people?
Six and a half billion on the planet right now?
I lost count.
Around two billion.
Yeah.
Apparently they're starving to death in Korea.
Okay, so what we're going to talk about in the next show, I want to, by the way, thank everybody.
Go to noagenda.org and help us out here.
And also noagenda.squarespace.com to check out the new website.
Tell us what you think.
Next week, I want to bring the story back into the fold about the problems we're still having with bees.
Oh, geez.
Yeah.
And the bee story needs to be brought back.
And I'll tell you, the fruit this year in California sucks.
It's not very tasty, and it's mushy, and there's all kinds of problems with it.
And my tree, you know, my plum tree only had like one-tenth as normal production, which really annoys me.
You should try some of the GMO crap they put in my room here in the hotel.
I can just imagine.
All right, so...
So more Monsanto and B's next week.
Yes.
Or next Thursday.
Thursday, exactly.
It's Thursday.
And coming to you from an undisclosed hotel location in London, the United Kingdom, at a temporary crackpot command center in Gitmo Nation East, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, the place that doesn't exist yet, I'm here.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
AT&T, Comcast, and Virgin Atlantic all suck.
We'll talk to you Thursday right here on No Agenda.
