Time Text
You're on a deserted island with one person.
How good do you have to look?
You should be naked half the time.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's August 23rd, 2009.
Time again for your Gitmo Nation audio publication episode 124.
This is no agenda.
Coming to you from the 17th century Canal House Crackpot Command Center located in Amsterdam, Gitmo Nation East.
Back from my deserted island, I'm Adam Curry.
And coming to you from northern Silicon Valley where the fog rolled in and hasn't rolled out.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Hey John, turn on the foam baby.
That was the joke of That was Ibiza.
I wasn't in Ibiza.
But that was the joke.
I don't care.
You stick with your story.
That was the joke of the entire vacation.
It was like, oh, I'm ready.
Turn on the foam.
Johnny C. Dvorak, turn on the foam.
I'm ready.
Man, my life has changed, man.
You know, there's one club there that they have foam that is about six feet thick.
No, I think every club has foam that's six feet thick.
But I was not in Ibiza.
I was in Formentera, which has an interesting history, that island.
I bet it does.
It sounds like you're really interested.
You already told me it's an old hippie island.
Yeah, but the indigenous people, I forget what, they were indigenous people.
Some hermits?
Yeah, thousands of years ago.
Well, you know, a lot of people own that island, like the Spanish and the Romans, but the indigenous peoples who lived there were actually known as the naked walkers.
Oh, really?
Yeah, or the translation of the name.
And to this day, you know, it's kind of a mixed bag, so to speak, of people who are on the beach naked and people who are on the beach not naked.
It's cool, though.
It's like it's no big deal.
The naked people.
Yeah, the naked walkers.
You go up to them and say, Hello, lady, are you a native?
Are you indigenous to the area?
Would you like a Cornetto?
Don't you like a Cornetto ice cream?
How is the food?
Hey, there's one restaurant on the island that absolutely rocks called Can Carlos.
Of course, it's only really open three or four months a year.
We went there two times.
Very hard to get a reservation.
Actually, three times.
I'm sorry.
John, fantastic.
This young Italian couple have taken over the restaurant since, like, whatever, last season, I guess.
Oh, my God.
It was outstanding.
And they have this thing in Formentara...
No, no, no, listen.
So Formantera is known for, the only, of course, tourism and salt, sea salt is made there.
Oh, did you bring some sea salt back?
Did you get some of the indigenous sea salt?
Yes, we brought back some of the naked indigenous sea salt.
And they do this sea bass, or actually we had a dorada, which, what is that?
What kind of fish is that?
The rod?
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's a bass, I think.
It's kind of like a bass.
And what they do is they actually cook it in this whole big pancake of sea salt, and then they crack it open.
It's great, though.
It was like, whoa.
Tasted awesome.
Yeah.
So you brought some sea salt back for me?
Did you get me like a bottle?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
So...
Did you miss me?
Well, it's only been four days.
Extremely because I couldn't kivitz with you about what's going on, especially in Great Britain.
Oh boy.
We didn't have electricity.
I had the solar panels to recharge the cell phone so I could do a little bit of email, but of course they don't actually have 3G. Boy, that was a surprise, uploading Thursday's show.
It's GPRS only.
Which is like 1.2k per second or some shit like that.
It took hours.
So Christina has been keeping you up to speed a little bit, but I didn't hear of anything shocking.
What's going on?
Well, you know, they let out the guy who...
This is funny that you don't know this.
Oh, no, I do know this.
The Lockerbie guy.
Yeah.
So the guy's been in jail for what?
Ten years.
Seven years.
After killing 271 people, supposedly.
See, when that Lockerbie thing first began...
If anyone hasn't followed us, they haven't been following the news.
But what happened, of course, they released him because he's not feeling well.
Under compassionate grounds.
And so they released him back to a hero's welcome in Libya.
But, you know, when that thing first broke, there was an awful lot of good reporting taking place in the Independent, the Telegraph, and many of the British newspapers, which indicated that this guy never did it in the first place.
Right.
Well, that's what I did read, you know, question mark, was he a patsy, etc., etc.?
Which kind of explains why they were not, you know, that adverse to releasing him, because I think everybody knew the whole thing was just some sort of a slap on the wrist against Libya for some other transgressions, like the bombing of the nightclub in Germany or whatever.
Can I just say one thing about, because I did follow some of the story in the Financial Times.
Have you seen a recent picture of Muammar Gaddafi?
Yeah, actually, he was on the news last night.
What is up with the yellow hat and the yellow shirt?
Is this like a fashion statement?
He wasn't wearing a yellow hat.
He was wearing a suit underneath a cloak.
He was wearing a yellow hat, which, by the way, is the new fashion color in Italy this year, and a yellow suit jacket.
I'm like, since when is Muammar Gaddafi following fashion?
Well, maybe he passed through Italy and he just thought it was a good idea.
But whatever the case was, he wasn't wearing that.
But they showed a picture which has caused the controversy.
He was having a meeting, like, I guess, three, four, five, six weeks ago with Gordon Brown, who apparently set this up.
And now everybody's saying that was to get at the oil fields of Libya.
Mm-hmm.
And so it was a quid pro quo.
He said, we would like to get your oil.
And the way the thing would have gone was, we'd like to get your oil.
Well, you've got our guy locked up for no good reason.
He said, well, if we release him, can you give us the oil?
And he said, well, if you're going to release him, he dreamed up some phony baloney pretense to release him.
But meanwhile, now unfortunately, because they can't admit that there was the wrong guy in jail, I'm guessing.
I mean, I could be wrong.
Maybe it is the right guy, but all the evidence was way out in front that it was out of Syria or the CIA was involved.
They switched a package on them or something.
Wikipedia has a good rundown with no details.
It's just a good rundown of the various conspiracy theories about the luck.
You can look it up.
Tony Blair visited Gaddafi I think maybe three years ago.
All of a sudden he showed up there hanging out in the tent.
Yeah.
There's been a lot going on there.
There's been a lot going on there.
But anyway, so Gaddafi's trying to humiliate everybody.
They may give the big heroes a welcome, knowing it would anger the Americans, which causes nothing.
It's just troublemaking.
But I think Brown's done.
He can't get past this, unless they admit that they had the wrong guy locked up, which they can't possibly do, since it was the British government that set this thing up.
Well, I think, you know...
He's through.
This guy's through.
But it's pretty obvious that Brown is supposed to get out now.
Maybe they wanted to accelerate him getting out.
I guess they're going to call a general election any day now.
And David Cameron's supposed to come in.
That's the way it always goes.
Flip-flop, flip-flop, left-right, left-right.
Yeah, well, David Cameron at least sounds good on paper.
I've got a couple clips of Cameron.
David Cameron's, you know, like, personal advisor is Eric Schmidt from Google.
Does that help?
Is that right?
Oh yeah, he does all kinds of...
He's like a special advisor to the conservative party and he's always showing up at special symposia.
Eric Schmidt?
Yes, buddy buddy with David Cameron.
How can he be running with the conservatives in Britain and then running with the ultra-liberals in Washington?
How does that work?
He likes to go with a winning team, John.
Well, I don't blame him for that.
Hey, let me...
I'll Google it for you.
Let me see.
Eric...
Let's run a couple Cameron clips while we're talking about him so people know who he is.
He's obviously the next guy.
He talks a great game.
Here it is.
Google's chief executive, Eric Schmidt, was appointed David Cameron's economic advisor.
What is this?
Eric Schmidt is a scientist.
He was the chief science officer.
No, he's not.
He's an economic advisor.
Here, this is...
The economic advisor?
How do you get lucky and become a billionaire and now you're an economic advisor?
Yes.
How the crap that is.
Oh yeah, man.
I'm telling you, Eric Schmidt is all over the place.
He's on Obama's team and he's on David Cameron's team.
He's a conservative.
I mean a Democrat.
A conservative.
I don't know what he is.
Well, he floats around a lot.
He's obviously a bag man for somebody.
Yeah, bag man being black bags filled with money?
So, that would be my guess.
Yeah.
Maybe that's all he does is just drops off money everywhere.
Play the clip, British Conservatives.
And at the heart of our program for government would be an intention to change fundamentally the balance of power between the citizen and the state so that ultimately it's people in control of the government and not government in control of the people.
Gee, where have I heard that one before?
Cock is cheap.
I love this.
This is the guy who made a big deal out of being green and riding his bike to work and then of course the press found out that his limousine was following behind with his briefcase.
This guy's a real tool.
Let's listen to more.
We'll start by putting back in place the protections of personal freedom that Labour have taken away.
Today in Britain, Not in some foreign dictatorship or in some bygone age.
You can wake up in the morning, in your own bed, in your own home, to hear a knock on the door from an official with one of over a thousand powers that let the state go into your house.
You don't have to be a terrorist or a criminal fugitive.
The authorities have the right to come into your home, for example, to inspect your potted plants for pests, to check the regulation of any hedgerow.
More than half of these new powers have been introduced in the past twelve years.
So they can bust into your house to check for pests in your potted plants.
Oh yeah, they can do all kinds of stuff.
We didn't talk about this on the show, but a couple of weeks ago there was an announcement that I think 20,000 Britons are going to be, if they get an ASBO, or essentially if they're written up as being antisocial, then they're going to hang cameras in these people's homes?
Yeah, we blogged that.
A troll state can not only enter your home, they can snoop on you as you walk down the street.
Cool.
And it's not just the sort of spies you see in...
So I guess he's going to do away with all the CCTV cameras, right?
David Cameron's going to turn all of this around and it's all going to be gone.
Primetime dramas.
But these are sort of new spooks, if you like.
Council officials, quango workers, using the regulation of...
What's a quango worker?
I was going to ask you what a quango worker was.
A quango worker?
A quango worker.
Those quango workers are trouble.
This warrants some googling.
Hold on.
What do you think?
Quango worker?
Yeah, it has to be quango.
Q-U-A-N-G-O. That's the only possibility.
Top link.
The quango that is killing Britain.
The quango has accurately manipulated the infected workers into desiring what the government prefers them to do.
Huh?
Quango worker.
Let's listen to the rest of the clip while we investigate Quango.
Maybe someone in the chat room can help us with what a Quango worker is.
Investigatory Powers Act, or REAPA, sometimes known as the Grim Reaper.
This was supposedly introduced to help fight terrorism.
But, for instance, a pool council in the southwest used it to spy for nearly three weeks on a young family who had applied to a local primary school, and they wanted to check to see if they lived in the right catchment area.
Councils in Derby and Gateshead used...
Alright, that's the end of the clip.
Yeah.
He's just outlining stuff.
He goes on and on and on with listing every crazy thing going on, which is, of course, we've been blogging and everybody's been pointing out.
Of course, he's in the government, so you have to wonder how much he had to do with it.
He's a shadow government.
You might as well go to continue further down in his speech, go to crazy arrests.
I just thought these statistics that he threw out were actually kind of funny.
And by the way, stuff we've been talking about for two years on this very program.
Oh yeah, we've been talking about it since day one.
I'm sorry, go ahead.
Go ahead, go ahead.
Then there's the misuse of the terrorist legislation.
Section 44 of the Terrorism Act gives the police the power.
This, of course, is police can tell you, can arrest you if you're taking pictures of the police.
...to stop and search any person on the street.
Last year it was used over 120,000 times, a three-fold increase on the year before.
That's one person stopped every four minutes.
Yet only 1% of these searches led to an arrest, let alone charges or convictions.
And instead, not terrorist offences, we see a woman in her thirties held for walking on a cycle path, parents and their twelve-year-old disabled son detained for two hours by ten officers on suspicion of people trafficking.
I'm not making this up, by the way.
Let's say you were charged.
I would argue there are now serious questions about the quality of justice in Britain.
Since 2003, we've seen repeated attempts to remove the role of juries in fraud trials, in coroner's inquests and other criminal trials.
And justice hasn't just been avoided at home.
He really, really talks a big game.
But of course, he's just shepherding in the total takeover, the total Gitmo Nation East takedown, I should say, is what he's going to do.
It's his turn.
Quango, an acronym.
Quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization.
Wow.
So why do they have any powers?
I don't know.
The use in the UK of executive agencies charged with service delivery functions has arisen alongside so-called non-departmental public bodies.
I don't know.
It's just more bullshit.
I like the word.
It's a great word.
We should use it.
Quango.
We've got to popularize it here.
Yes.
Quango.
I mean, I think acorn is a quango.
Totally.
That's a perfect example of a quango.
Quango.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, it's a quasi-autonomous, non-government organization.
It's a quango.
Acorn equals quango.
Okay.
So what he'll do, of course, is he'll let Gordon Brown usher in the forced vaccinations for swine flu.
And then when people start dropping dead, then he'll say, oh, need a general election.
Got to get this guy out.
He killed our babies.
And he let that terrorist go.
And of course, he's a Scotsman.
Brown has already done enough by letting the terrorists go to be ousted.
But I'm sure that Brown being a Scot had something to do with it all, right?
Yeah, I would think.
Yeah.
Anyway, okay, so what do you got?
Do you want to hear more clips?
No, before you get to a clip, remember the scientist, the microbiologist scientist who was arrested?
No, actually, he wasn't just arrested.
Shot dead in the street.
I don't think he was shot dead.
Oh, he was picked up.
He was tased after, what did they do first?
Didn't they squirt something out of him?
No, at first they surrounded him, then they blasted him with something, rather than they tasered him.
Oh, tear gas, right.
Tear powder.
Then they shoved something in his mouth and dragged him off, and we haven't heard from him since.
So, I haven't been able to verify it, but I have all the links, and I'll put them in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
He apparently was that very...
So, he had been auditing or overseeing the...
What's the name of it, John?
The special...
At the auditorium there in Los Angeles, the medical team.
Yeah, where they were doing that medical thing.
Yeah, whatever that's called.
Jeez, I feel so inadequate.
Because he was convinced that they were testing out swine flu vaccine on people who basically need to go to this third world type organization to get health care.
And what turns out that...
Only one day before, or that day itself, he was doing an interview talking about this on a radio show by an outfit called Project Camelot, which you've probably heard of, projectcamelot.org.
Actually, he's on the show.
He's talking about what's going on in Los Angeles with the swine flu vaccine being tested on people.
Then he tries to escape to the Israeli embassy, and he's tear-gassed, tased, dragged off, and never heard from again.
And, of course, all under the veil of he threatened to blow up the White House while he was in Los Angeles.
I just love it.
So I've got to look into that a little bit deeper.
Yeah, we've got to find this guy.
I think the dude may need some help.
Well, you know, if we can figure out where he is and who has him, I mean, you don't know even who arrested him.
No.
No.
It's a mess.
It's a real mess.
Sometimes I really think that shit is coming down fast and furious, and we really are just kind of glossing over it, John.
We really are not seeing...
There's a bigger picture here.
It probably is, and we're glossing it over, which is hilarious.
It just makes you wonder what the rest of the news media is up to.
Yeah, really.
Well...
I don't know, did you have any real news?
I mean, I'm so out of it.
Oh yeah, I got some real news.
Ah, would you like a real news jingle?
And now, back to real news.
I have no high hopes for the new Jay Leno show.
Have you seen it?
Has it aired yet?
No, no, no.
It's coming out in a week or two.
But here's one of the commercials they ran.
Run Jessica Alba.
I was going to say, I could pretty much guess which clip was the real news clip.
JessicaAlba.mp3.
I'm going to set it up.
This is supposed to be funny.
Okay.
You ready?
Yeah.
Here we go.
Research shows America wants more comedy.
I thought the audience wanted more pancakes.
Ooh, sorry Jessica Alba, but it's more comedy served fresh every night, which is why we're bringing you the Jay Leno Show.
You mean I made all these pancakes for nothing?
Uh-huh.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I guess he lost his normal writers.
Pancakes?
She's standing there with the stacks of pancakes all around her.
They're all like seven foot stacks of pancakes.
And they're saying, no, I thought they wanted pancakes.
There's no reference to anything.
It's not funny.
It's just Jessica Alba standing there.
She's not even dolled up in this pile of pancakes as though this must be hilarious.
I'm shaking my head looking at this ad thinking this show is going to be terrible.
So did Conan get the writers?
That's a possibility.
Somebody got the writers.
Whatever the case is, obviously whoever the main writers were didn't want to do, I don't know, maybe, I have no idea.
Maybe they restaffed the whole show.
I haven't got a clue.
And maybe the guys who do the commercials have got nothing to do with the show.
But you'd think Leno would have some approval of an idiotic commercial like this, but I guess not.
I still don't know what they're trying to prove with this.
It just doesn't sound like a very good idea, other than saving a lot of money because they're not going to put a full-scripted, full-blown drama in that time slot.
Yeah, but they're never going to be able to regain the spot.
No, you're right.
I mean, basically, they could lose it so bad.
I mean, they had Law& Order, which was a moneymaker, and that was always running at 10 o'clock.
And then they had a couple other shows that they were going to push to 10.
Now they're going to lose 10 o'clock completely, leaving it just to ABC and CBS. I mean, Fox has never gone into 10.
They've always let the local news broadcasts go at 10.
But Fox could just step in if they wanted to.
Anyway, NBC's screwed.
Here's another one that's kind of real news.
I thought this was a screwy ad.
Just because the guy doing the voiceover, he emphasized words in such a way that it gave you the wrong impression.
Run the Hyundai ad.
Of all the things that are changing lately, Hyundai Assurance has remained rock solid and gotten even better because now it gives you something else.
Gas.
What?
What?
Gas?
And by the way, I was following some of the news.
So we've got oil now at, what, $74, $75 a barrel.
And natural gas, which works fine, by the way, for running automobiles.
The prices have collapsed now.
I know, it's hilarious.
I mean, we can heat our homes with that.
We can drive our cars on that.
We have tons of it.
What is going on?
And the news media doesn't say, hey, by the way, that's kind of cool.
We seem to have a lot of gas.
We can do something with it.
Yeah, I know.
Well, it's because the market's rigged, and they're just running the price oil up.
Eventually, the price oil will come back to where it belongs, which is $40.
And all they do is, well, we need to jack the prices up, so we're just going to stop producing.
I mean, they're rigging it right in front of your very eyes.
It's like, we don't like the price.
And I finished that book, The Informant, about Arthur Daniels Midland Corporation, Dude, corporate America, big, big corporate America, all it does is rig prices all over the place.
Everything's rigged.
Yeah.
Well, which brings me to another clip.
Oh, gee.
Yeah.
I like to transition.
We're having segues.
I didn't mean to go right into this.
No, that's okay.
Can we close off the Real News segment, or is more yet to come?
No, this is actually more Real News.
This happened last night.
And now, back to Real News.
Talking about Rigged, there was a fight last night.
Paul Malginati.
Oh, this was the big HBO fight, right?
This was the big one, yeah.
I remember seeing the commercials.
And against Juan Diaz.
Malginati, Malginati.
I can never...
I have to read his name.
No, it's...
Anyway, Paul had...
Paul.
We know him as Paul.
Paul Melginati.
Well, I got him.
Melginati.
Anyway, so he had...
The fight was rigged, and it was just rigged.
And it was a Golden Boy production, which was the famous Oscar de la Hoya.
And so I was talking to a friend of mine.
I said, well, Oscar's finally made it as an American, you know, as a Latino-American fight promoter.
As a fight promoter, he's made it because now he can rig fights, which is, you know, the goal of everybody.
Of course.
So this guy went ballistic.
I only have a small clip of it, but Kellerman, who's interviewing him, seems to be like a stooge for the rig.
Now, who's Kellerman?
Max Kellerman is like an analyst who is detested by the boxing community, generally speaking, mainly by Ring Magazine, and this is going to do him no good whatsoever, because after this was over, Kellerman even came on and gave a little speech, which kind of defended this ridiculous squadron.
So John, the real news portion of what you're about to mention is that boxing is rigged.
I mean, this is like, there's gambling going on there?
Yeah, let's just play the Kellerman Club.
I just found the whole thing hilarious because this guy went crazy.
Paulie, assuming you don't get a rematch for a second...
You know I ain't getting a rematch, man.
This is boxing.
Boxing is full of shit, man.
I used to love this sport, man.
I cannot stand doing this.
The only reason I do this is because it gives me a good payday.
Boxing is full of shit.
Paulie, assuming you don't get the rematch, you here have re-established yourself on a world-class level, what would you want next?
Listen, anything that comes my way, I mean, I'm just an opponent after losing the fight.
One can go call out the winner of Marquez and Mayweather or the winner of another big fight.
I don't have that luxury because I got robbed, so I'm on the short end of the stick.
So I gotta sit back and hope I get used as an opponent in somebody's hometown again.
This is the bullshit I gotta go through.
Paulie, Paulie, congratulations on a tremendous performance and an excellent fight.
It was a lot of fun to watch.
I love that.
How much did that cost?
23 bucks to watch?
No, it was on free.
Really?
It wasn't a pay-per-view.
No, no, no.
The pay-per-views are only once every few months.
Oh.
And I refuse to...
I just assume...
They show them later, a week later, so I watch them then.
Even though you know the outcome of the fight?
Yeah, I just wanted to see...
I'd like to watch this.
Yeah.
It doesn't kind of defeat the purpose, John.
I don't know.
Not if you want to watch these guys box and see what happened.
Well, but you know what happened.
Well, you know, they don't play it up a lot.
The media has decided what sports are important, and because of the political correctness movement, boxing has been pushed.
They very rarely even run stories in the sports section on boxing.
If I go right now to Google News and look at sports, I've got a baseball, a racing thing, and a Grand Prix story on the front page.
If I go to the sports...
Didn't I hear that President Obama was pandering to NASCAR? Didn't I read that somewhere?
No, I don't remember that.
Yeah.
Apparently some real green initiative.
Let me see.
I can find this somewhere.
I'm looking at the whole sports thing.
You'd have to type in boxing to find out what happened.
So half the time you can't...
Yeah, Mel Janagi.
Mel Janagi.
Mel Janagi.
That's it.
Mal...
Maljanagi.
Maljanagi.
It's just a worse name.
This is why this guy lost.
Yeah, no kidding.
No name.
You got no name.
You can't win, you know?
You got to have something cool.
Like Ali.
You know, this is no good.
Maljanagi.
That's what I think it is.
Or Maljanagi.
I don't know.
I only heard it a million times last night, but...
Paul.
Paul.
Better known to his friends as Paul.
Breast implants are shrinking along with the economy.
I thought you'd like to know that.
It's about time.
Yeah, there was a time when women really had huge breast implants, and now they're taking...
It's out of vogue, and a lot of them look like basketballs.
It just doesn't look right.
Now it's more the B-cup is, I think, what women are going for.
And that seems to be a new economic indicator, John.
Which we need to follow.
Yeah, I thought skirt length was more interesting to follow.
Okay, you can have your skirts.
I'll take the B-Cups.
Okay.
There's a joke in there somewhere.
I'm not coming up with anything.
So meanwhile, of course, in Afghanistan, the fix was in there as well with Hamid Karzai, who of course...
Did he win?
He claimed victory immediately.
It's a shock.
Yeah, really.
To me, it's just unbelievable.
And not a single publication I saw, at least, and I read...
The big ones, the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and New York Times.
Not a single one actually says, you know, by the way, Hamad Karzai educated in America, lived in America, was put in as a shill by the Americans.
You know, it's like...
And then they've brought back some warlord.
What's his name?
Dutzon or something.
I can't forget his name.
And, you know, they just intimidated everybody.
It's just, it's like...
They don't even have to do that.
They can just say whatever they want to say.
Let's go with one more real news story while I'm on the roll.
This is actually real news from a news broadcast.
And now, back to real news...
Southwest Flight.
A Southwest Airlines passenger is in custody in the Bay Area tonight.
Authorities say he not only hit passengers, he stripped on board.
Shortly after flight 947 departed Oakland for St.
Louis this morning, passengers say Darius Chappell exposed himself to a woman.
She screamed and the 21-year-old allegedly punched her in the face.
Authorities say Chappell then ran down the aisle, fought with the flight attendants and stripped naked as the passenger photo shows.
Now that's what I call news.
And he was later heard to be saying, Turn on the foam, dude!
Turn on the foam!
I think there was, wasn't yesterday, Go Top, maybe it's today, Go Topless Day?
Yeah, I think it is GoTopless.org.
Go Topless?
Yeah, yeah.
In this country, you go Topless, and the next thing you know, you're on the sexual offenders list.
Well, that's why there's this whole...
Yeah, for Sunday, August 23rd, 2009, in honor of Women's Equality Day, which, of course, John, you and I celebrate.
Oh, yeah.
And if you go to gotopless.org, across the U.S., apparently, in many cities across the U.S., women are going to be protesting under the 14th Amendment.
That they have the right to go topless there where men can go topless.
And of course, they absolutely have the right to do that.
That is kind of a weird cultural thing.
Just coming back from the south of Spain, where it's totally no big deal.
Throughout most of Europe, it's no big deal for women to go topless on the beach.
Why are we all messed up about that in America?
Because it's a sexual offense.
You have to be a sexual predator.
Just that simple.
There's just no two ways about it.
It's a sexual offense.
You have to be on the registry.
Are you looking at this website?
You know, they have no.
They have the, you know, the thing is the...
New York City, Central Park, Columbus Circle.
You have this theory that all these guys in higher level of government are a bunch of essential pedophiles and whatever.
You know, what better way to cover your tracks than to make everything a sexual offense?
So the real pedophiles can't be identified.
Yeah, good point.
The rapists can't be identified.
There's a good story in The Economist that people should look up, which just goes on to a rant about America and its sex offenders lists.
In fact, they got guys who peed in the park, literally.
And then you're on the sex offenders list if you pee in the park?
Yeah, in some states, absolutely.
And in fact, if you can find some of these online, there's a bunch of Google Map mashups where you can go and look at the sexual offenders in your area.
Wait a minute!
Not put together by Vivek, our CIO by any chance.
He's taken some COBOL data and he's mashed it up into the sex offenders Google Map.
So the point is that you can look at these and you'll see a lot of them are like real sketchy.
It's like, why is this guy on the list?
It's, you know, peed in the park.
By the way, peeing is really not a sexual act.
I should mention this to these courts.
Yeah, but that's exposing yourself, I guess.
Yeah, at night you're drunk.
You know, in Holland, when they had the big Queens Day, they have all these public bathrooms that are kind of like these weird stands.
You don't go inside anything.
It's just like a urinal outside.
Well, you kind of go through a little twisty bit, so you turn right twice and then you're kind of in there, right?
Actually, these were no.
Oh, really?
They would just walk up to them?
It's like a fourth thing in a circle.
Oh, yeah, I've seen these.
Yeah, it's like a pyramid.
Right, and they bring them out for these parties.
I mean, they're not in the street all the time.
And instead of having these little booths like we have in the United States, which stink to high heaven anyway.
And it's mostly for Pete.
It's obviously not for him to take a dump.
But anyway, it's like, and you just kind of put yourself into this little nook, and you take a leak, and you zip up and walk away, and it's out in public.
It's like a urinal, kind of.
And nobody seems to mind.
And it makes total sense.
Well, you know when I'm peeing on the street.
No, that's exact.
Or peeing in the canal, which is even nastier.
Again, it's this American messed up thing about just anything.
And meanwhile, the best porn is made in America.
I just don't get it.
Well, I've always felt that a lot of it has to do with the fact that the Americans really are just nasty people.
And the Europeans aren't.
They don't get all worked up about a bare breast.
I mean, I was looking at some Italian online publication and, you know, the whole, it's a newspaper and they got front page ads of women, topless women, you know, showing off their underwear because they were selling something at a store.
And you would never see anything like that in the United States because guys would go crazy.
I'm looking for this story that I think was emailed to me about President Obama.
I think he showed up in Montana.
He's always showing up somewhere.
Yeah.
Maybe it wasn't on email.
I've got to look for it.
But it was a beautiful description about how they actually, because it was just one of the healthcare rallies that he did.
And, you know, busloads of SEIU folks came in.
They had people protesting in a roped-off area on the airfield where the news media didn't even know they were there.
That's how far away they were from the action.
But the best part, and this is why I'm looking for it, Montana, of course, known for its beef, I guess, John.
That would be...
You know, pretty good for the local economy if you have all these dignitaries flying in.
And, you know, of course, it's not just the president.
It's his whole, you know, his whole plane full of peeps.
But they actually shipped in lobster specifically for the president and his posse into Montana for him to eat.
Are you kidding?
Yeah, I know.
That's why I wanted to find it.
But maybe it wasn't.
Maybe it was somewhere else.
A lot of people posting excellent stuff on...
Message from John C. Lorzak.
Thank you.
A lot of people posting good stuff on the...
Did you?
I like it.
Every time I send you a file, does that happen?
Yes.
Drop.io slash daily source code.
People are still posting.
Stop it.
Don't make me turn it off.
Don't overuse your privilege.
By the way, that's a link to the urinals in Holland.
Yeah, I know exactly what they look like.
I have peed there myself.
I've been known to use one of those urinals.
I can usually hold it.
Really?
Yeah, really.
That's good information for when you're flying with me.
As long as you have the Coke bottle in the thing.
Really?
You can fit it into a Coke bottle?
No.
But I have a good shot.
Hey!
That's interesting.
Someone got a naked picture of Mickey and they put it here on the drop.
I don't understand how they got that.
So anyway, since we're on the topic here, since you were talking about the protests, it's funny that they would bring in lobster.
You know what?
Obama's going to get fat in that job.
And he's playing golf, too.
This is wrong.
Whatever happened to basketball?
That was the one thing that was kind of cool about him.
He played basketball.
He had his hoop set up in the White House or somewhere, I think.
And now he's playing golf everywhere.
Yeah.
There's something wrong with that.
It's a bad image.
So here's a clip that I have from one of the meetings, town hall meetings, where everybody's all worked up.
And this woman comes on, and this is Jean Taylor in...
Mississippi, I guess.
Anyway, this woman comes on, and she actually, I think, expresses the frustration that the people have with not just the health care bill, but with the government in general.
She has actually a nice little speech at the beginning.
And then this guy, who is a blue dog Democrat, I don't know when that term first came up, but it's really popular.
Who exactly are the blue dog Democrats?
The other ones are voting no on health care.
They're essentially moderate Democrats who are leaning toward Republicans.
And what does it mean, blue dog?
I don't know.
From the blue state, and they're a dog.
I have no idea.
Thanks.
All right.
Is this a Don Hewitt?
No, no.
Don Hewitt's last.
This is voting no.
But what I want to point out is that when this guy, who's the blue dog Democrat, says he's going to vote no on health care, they give him, and I only have part of it, they give him a five or six minute standing ovation.
Wow.
Let's listen.
He's cared about Mississippi.
And he listens about Mississippi.
There's a lot of congressmen up there that are shutting their doors.
They're shutting their doors.
They're not listening to us.
They're calling us mobs.
We're not mobs in Mississippi.
We're not mobs in Mississippi.
But this is my question.
As a staff auditor, I haven't seen the federal government Make one attempt to clean up one mess.
Not one mess!
I haven't seen them clean up the SEC. Enron should not have happened.
People should not have lost their retirement.
We have enough regulations to stop that.
But it's not happening.
There's too much corruption.
There's too much going on that's not being checked.
I don't know!
I don't know!
Do you know what I'm saying?
No.
If you can't...
If you can't clean up a little job, how can you take away all of our health care that we pay for?
Did someone say, do you know who this is?
Was that like a news commentator or something?
No, no.
This is just some woman in the...
I don't know what that was.
Okay.
Okay, well...
No, thank you very much.
We'll start in reverse order.
Number one, I would hope by now that everyone in this room is aware that I am not going to vote for the health care plan.
This goes on for six minutes.
Kill it.
But you know what?
I think that there's a lot of things going on here, but it really has little to do with health care anymore.
I think it's just...
It's ridiculous.
People are just tired.
What happened to the save or create all these millions of jobs with the almost...
Shovel-ready.
Shovel-ready projects.
Everyone's literally out of a job.
Every single state, when you read in the news where it's like the state unemployment figures, they're never...
Around the 9.4% that it's supposed to be.
It's always double digits.
It's always 13%, 15%, 18%.
At least one of the stories about a state in the news has to be 5%, otherwise you can never average the 9.4%.
So clearly, people are really hurting.
They're out of jobs.
So they show up at these meetings.
Yes!
What's funny is that people say, well, we need more participatory democracy.
Well, this is what you get from Americans who have time to go to these meetings.
And it's middle class and old people.
Hey, John, you fit both.
Have you been to a meeting?
I don't have to.
I just watch them on C-SPAN. Yeah.
Oh, I miss C-SPAN a lot.
I really did miss it.
So I have one more clip, and this is from C-SPAN. It's actually kind of interesting.
It's a little long.
It's not real long, but you have to listen to the whole thing, because it's actually a fascinating anecdote.
This was Don Hewitt, who died...
This week, or within the last week or so.
And he was the one who created 60 Minutes.
And there was a one-hour interview with him done on C-SPAN in the year 2001 that was actually quite fascinating.
It'll be a lot better if you can find that for people out there who care than tonight's 60 Minutes show, which will be a one-hour tribute to Don Hewitt.
Was he a producer?
Was he a producer?
Was he a journalist?
What exactly was he?
He was a producer and basically he was a producer.
He had some journalism chops, but he was a producer.
He's the one who produced early Ed Murrow and all kinds of stuff.
But he's the one who created 60 Minutes.
He named it.
He came up with the ticking clock.
He did all that stuff.
And he kept with the show until maybe just a few years ago.
Sorry?
But he was being interviewed and he was being asked about various people and he'd respond with what he thought of him and the experiences he's had with him.
So the question on this one is wrapping up...
Carvel.
What's his first name?
James?
Yeah, James Carvel.
He asks about James Carvel.
And Hewitt gives this story that I should have heard or I've heard of or something.
I didn't hear anything about this before.
He produced this show where Clinton came out and said that Jennifer Flowers' thing was bull and then became president shortly thereafter.
And this is Hewitt's...
Remembrance of the event.
Okay, here we go.
An obscure governor named Bill Clinton from Arkansas and his wife Hillary who nobody had ever heard of at the Ritz Hotel in Boston because he wants time to explain Jennifer Flowers.
He came there to set the record straight and he set the record crooked and We're in that room about an hour, and I knew he was lying, and she knew he was lying, and Steve Croft knew they were lying, and in the middle of it, this carvel,
this funny-looking duck arrives, and he plunks himself down in the control room like a groupie following a couple of rock stars, and he starts denattering to himself and actually sobbing.
Oh, I love them.
I love those people.
I love them so much.
I love them.
And I said, well, somebody shut this guy up or get him the hell out of here.
But I tried to get a cop to throw him out.
I think he reported me to Hillary.
I think I've been on report ever since.
I am persona non grata with Hillary Clinton.
Isn't that interesting?
The guy comes in and he's bawling like a baby.
Oh my gosh.
Hey, I found an excerpt from that email, which is kind of good.
But now you've probably heard that President Obama came to Montana last Friday.
However, there are many things the major news has not covered.
On about Tuesday, Joe, that's this woman's husband who works at the airport.
He's a transport pilot, I believe.
Joe found out they would be holding the town hall at the airport.
Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade, this tiny town in a very remote location.
Nothing around there, but they chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar.
You could not pick a more remote location and you could not get to it easily, totally secluded from the public.
During the week, cargo by the tons was being shipped in constantly.
Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming in.
Though it was our president coming, several expressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession.
Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out.
However, 1,500 were printed at a local printing shop per White House request.
So there's 900 tickets missing.
The same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that thousands of dollars of lobster were shipped in for Obama.
And of course Montana has some of the best beef in the nation.
Would have been really wonderful to help out the local economy.
The groups that wanted to protest Obama's spending in health care had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off.
And that was not to be.
A large bus carrying SEIU union members drove up onto the area illegally, unloaded right there, quite a commotion, and specifically two SEIU men trying to make trouble, start a fight.
Police did get involved, arrested the one man, but they said they didn't have the manpower to remove the entire SEIU crowd.
So I guess what...
What the right-wing insurance-backed groups are being accused of is actually happening on the Democratic side.
Interesting.
I'm still baffled by why the SEIU, a union, is taking this position, whether or not just neutralizing.
What does the health care bill have to do with them?
Well, the only thing I can think of is that they, well, first of all, Obama is owned by the unions.
I remember quite specifically, we even talked about it, that he, you know, particularly the auto workers' union, which, of course, he bailed out GM. And hopefully saved some jobs there somehow.
But they donated so much money to him that he has to do whatever they want and the SEIU appears to be pretty much government employees and they must like their health plan.
And I guess the bill panders to them.
Well, I don't see that as improving their lot in life.
I mean, the government workers that are in the SEIU generally have a really good health plan already.
So what is the – I mean, I can see where they could – I just don't see what's in it for them to be one way or the other.
It would seem to me that if I'm an SEIU person and this health care thing, I'd say that's great.
I think Obama should go knock himself out and do this the way he's going, but I don't see why I'm getting involved.
They're mind-controlled drones.
I have no idea.
The whole thing is baffling to me, but I do know one thing.
There's a very tight connection between ACORN and the SEIU that needs exploring.
I have some clips.
I don't have them with me today, but the guy who is the top, one of these guys, he's both with SEIU. He's one of the top guys there, and he's with ACORN. I've got to get this clip.
He had this weirdest thing to say.
He says if people have a bunch of things that they can get from the government for free and they sign up for them and they get them, he doesn't see any reason why a computer can't go and sign up everybody for everything automatically whether the person wanted it or not.
Thinking that was a really good way to break the bank, I guess.
I mean, this whole thing is completely baffling to me.
And it looks like Obama, if he's flying in lobster, because he can't go five minutes without some butter.
Dipping the lobster into butter.
We need some lobster.
It seems to me that this is like a very, you know, needless expense that's just an example of something's wrong.
Something's wrong.
Well, there is, you know, and there was a, before I left on vacation, and it's something that I actually wanted to bring up several times, I think, throughout the past year.
You know, all of a sudden I just started receiving emails from the president.
And I certainly never signed up for anything.
And I kind of thought that...
Remember when we were trying to seduce the Obama bot woman in my building?
Remember that?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And the only reason to say it, you might as well explain why we, because I wasn't trying to do it.
I was writing some of your material.
No, no, because she was going, she kept, I kept bumping into her in the hallway, and she kept talking about Camp Obama.
And we wanted to find out what Camp Obama was all about.
And so, you know, I was going to invite her over for drinks, and she wound up basically plopping a couple of bumper stickers down in front of my door.
I think someone might have tipped her off, because we were talking about it on the show.
So I thought maybe she had signed me up, and I thought, you know, that's not possible because you're supposed to get a verification email so that exactly that can happen, that you just start getting email from some email list.
And if you sign up at the White House, I believe at whitehouse.gov, you do have to send a verification email.
I'm not 100% sure.
But, you know, it's been overused, or something happened, and I start, you know, receiving emails from David Axelrod.
By the way, that viral email, remember we read that, where you had eight points and send it to all your friends?
No one sent it to me.
I only got it once from him.
So, you know, virality zero.
But now, also, Barack Obama's Twitter feed is active again, and it's all, you know, all these crazy links and all this stuff about healthcare reform.
I mean, Has it just become a political issue for them that they just can't lose, regardless of what it is?
They just can't lose face on this?
Well, yeah, I think there's that element.
Well, the element of embarrassment, by the way, it seems there's some people claiming that the government itself is in violation of the Can-Spam Act and some other anti-spam legislation.
Totally.
Now, I think the problem that they have is...
I just got a note here saying that White House is using a private company for these mass emailings.
Fox is going after them.
Called the GovDelivery.
Anyway, so they have...
The majority, a huge majority, like 70 votes in the House, and they've got like a 60-40 majority in the Senate.
They should be able to pass anything they want.
They can pass anything they want.
They were voted in as like a big mandate here, Democrats.
Knock yourselves out.
And if he can't...
And if you own the place, you think, you know, if you're the boss of the nightclub and you basically own the bouncer's work for you and you want to start throwing people out, you just do it.
You don't have to argue with them.
It would be a huge disaster if he can't pass this bill because it's like Democrat president, Democrat House, filibuster-proof Senate.
This is everything you want.
This is a dream come true for anybody.
And now it's like falling apart.
What is wrong with this picture?
There's something amiss.
I'd like to take you down the rabbit hole for a minute, John, as I was looking around some of my favorite kooky websites.
One of my favorites is abovetopsecret.com, if you've ever looked at that one.
Did you know that we actually have a naval space command?
Do we?
Yes.
We have a Naval Space Command.
And I'll put the link in the show notes because it's a very, very well-researched article.
It basically comes down to...
You remember that hacker, that kid from the UK who was being extradited because he broke into some...
Government computer by using essentially the NT, standard admin password.
And he found this list, and the list was of military personnel, naval military personnel.
And next to each name was either he was a terrestrial or an outer space commander.
Meaning...
I love this.
Meaning that he was either stationed on Earth or at one of the moon bases or perhaps another planetary base that we apparently have out there.
And there's some amazing shit going on.
And the fact that in many, many actual press releases...
It appears that NASA is just this huge front, but as I suspected all along, all of these space shuttles, man, we've got bases all over the place.
We're powering satellites.
Now we're loaded up.
We've got condos on the moon.
Not just condos, man.
We've got total Starfleet command going on.
And we're charging satellites with laser.
I mean, this is actual press releases that the government puts out.
There's no centralized press office, clearly.
Did you even know that that was possible?
That they're powering satellites through laser shots from the ground?
This is bogus.
No, man.
Hold on.
It's not bogus.
Oh, no.
What's the point?
You've got plenty of energy up there you can use.
By the way, somebody mentioned the SEIU represents a lot of part-time employees who don't get health care, and that's their angle.
It's according to Big Boy BC. It's possible, I suppose.
Still.
So I'm, again, I have to apologize because I just didn't have any bandwidth there in the Bel Air Islands.
But I'm going to really look into this Naval Space Command, which of course is exactly what, you know, in Star Trek and every other science fiction film, it's always the Navy that runs deep space.
It's not, you know, like the Air Force.
It's the Navy.
So it makes sense.
They're used to having a big ship with a lot of people on it.
It's something the Navy knows how to manage that type of thing.
So if you're going to have a giant spaceship filled with people, it makes sense.
It makes sense.
The management skill set of a Navy captain, even though there are a bunch of, many of them, are the worst kind of blowhards you've ever run into.
We used to have to ticket them when I was at the air pollution district.
The Navy would come into town.
Really?
Now, a couple of tricks.
You notice this when you see people who are like air pollution inspectors or any kind of inspectors, actually.
You usually try to hit the...
The ship violates in the morning or whenever they're out.
You try to get there around 10 to 12, like 10 minutes before noon.
These guys are so OCD. They have to take their lunch at 12.
They start shaking otherwise.
So they always invite you to the captain's mess so you get a free meal.
And you do this with all the ships.
So I was like, basically every couple days...
And some Cabernet.
No, they don't.
No grog either.
But I was, you know, eating on various ships from different parts of the world all the time, getting lectures from the Greek guy on some Greek freighter about how you should treat women.
I thought it was kind of weird.
But anyway, these Navy guys are the most arrogant pricks in the world.
And it's like, and everybody jokes about, oh, you met a Navy captain.
Oh, isn't that funny?
So these guys, but they can manage a big operation, but they stay very arrogant.
I don't know where that story was going.
Well, it's okay, because we can kind of stick with it, because I bring up this Naval Space Command, or the United States Navy Space Command, I think is the official name, because they have been working with, I guess, Russian and maybe Finnish naval forces.
You know, this whole missing ship, this...
The Arctic Sea.
This story is also...
You're going to have to get this story pieced together better.
Yeah, I do.
Can I tell you what it sounds like to me?
Go ahead.
A waste of money.
The Naval Space Command?
Yeah.
It sounds like a waste of money.
Another government squandered pile of money going down the tubes.
No, John, I'm really thinking that, again, it's much bigger than we realize, and it's probably been going on for a long time, and it's just being hidden from us.
I've talked about this many times.
There's a war in space going on over our heads as we speak.
Satellites getting blown out by other satellites.
There's all kinds of weird shit going on.
And it wouldn't surprise me at all if there is an actual space shit going on that we just don't see.
Give us a little, ooh, look at the space shuttle.
Yeah, oh, we're going to go fix the toilet on the International Space Station.
But meanwhile, they're resupplying the naval fleet up there.
I'm still wondering how you could go from we never landed on the moon to this.
I didn't say we never landed on the moon.
You're like a really psychotic when it comes to this crazy stuff.
No, no, I didn't say that.
I said it was in 1966.
That, I believe, was a fake moon landing.
Of course...
Yeah, well, that may be 1969.
So the 1966 one definitely was fake.
Yeah, that was fake.
And the 69 one...
Sorry, John.
No, the 69 was the only one.
That was the first one.
I understood your joke, okay?
I got it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I can't tell when you're in a funk.
But I'm not in a funk.
That, I believe, was just studio work.
You're in a fugue.
But in the meantime, I'm really starting to think there's something going on up there.
What do you know?
I don't know.
Crap, obviously.
Why else do they want this kid so badly?
So he hacked into some NT system.
All he got was a list of military personnel, except the slight problem with this list is...
I'm going to look up the actual terminology.
Can I say something?
Yes, please.
If you're a kid out there who does this sort of thing, you hack into some crazy thing and you download a huge file of nutty data that maybe lists the aliens that are working for us in the Pentagon or something like crazy stuff like that, make as many copies of it as you can and send it out to everybody.
Including us.
Because otherwise, if you do the one, you make the one copy and you keep it close to your vest, you become a movie.
You know, where the guy's trying to, you know, he's got the thumb drive and the next thing you know, it's like it's crushed by the subway.
It was non-terrestrial officers.
So there was a list and then it had said terrestrial officers and non-terrestrial officers.
Well, I hope somebody's got the list.
I wonder if someone must have the list.
Oh, maybe it has to do with aliens.
I mean, this is right up your alley.
I'd rather it was like, you know, humanoids who were...
You humanoids are doomed.
Who are stationed out in space.
Yeah, you laugh at me.
You laugh.
Go ahead, you laugh.
How do I transition from that into the begging for money segment?
I don't know.
I don't think this show is worth much.
Today's episode...
Today's episode...
Hey, you got to hear Don Hewitt talking about James Carville crying like a baby.
That's true.
I mean, that's worth something.
That's absolutely worth something.
I mean, now when you see him on TV, this guy's a psycho.
Well, let's put it this way.
So even though it's a regular Sunday broadcast, you know, I rushed back from the airport.
Such is the dedication to this program.
Totally flying blind, setting it up, John's got clips.
You know, you did get the Hewitt clip.
I mean, let's be honest.
Yeah, it's a good clip.
It's going to be better than anything you're going to see on the 60 Minutes show later today.
Where did that clip come from?
Where did you find that?
It came from C-SPAN, an interview done by that guy who runs C-SPAN, the pumpkin-headed guy, in 2001.
I'm not familiar with the pumpkin-headed guy.
He's the main guy.
He's the soft-spoken guy who does most of the interviews.
He's got kind of a pumpkin-shaped head.
C-SPAN not really known for its on-air celebrities.
This is true.
I'm not really too sure.
Okay, well, you've seen him.
I can't remember his name.
Anyway, we're going to do a lot of work this week.
We have a lot of things to follow up on.
I will definitely delve into the Naval Space Command.
Please go to the show notes at noagendashow.com because this above-top secret article is really just outstandingly well-researched.
All right, well, let's do some call-outs to some people, including Jeff Solomon, who gave us $100, and will be listed in the show notes because he wrote a short story about EMP, and you're going to put a link up for him, I guess.
You know, we're obliging.
Okay.
And he's in Jackson Heights, New York.
Trevor...
I guess it's FOHER or Foucher or FOHER. I don't know if I left a C out or not.
I got F-O-U-H-E-R, but it could be F-O-U-C-H-E-R from Seattle, 50.
Phil Conner in Windsor, UK, gave us $80.40.
What do you think that is?
$80.40.
I think it's our respective ages.
Brian Kaufman, $200 from Tempe, Arizona.
Thanks, Brian.
John Stevens, $100.
And he lives in Laguna Woods.
Now, California had this place called Laguna Beach, which was like this very high-end ritzy area.
And then they kind of expanded, and then they became this Laguna Hills, which is more ritzy.
Now, I guess they've gotten even bigger, and now there's Laguna Woods.
Tease.
Expansion, yeah.
Josh Feldman, Quincy, Massachusetts.
John Kelly, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Sean Rice, Calgary.
Also gave us 50.
And then there's another one.
Here's one.
I think this is a woman.
Could be a man, but I doubt it.
Sounds like a woman.
But you have to imagine he's in Gainesville, Georgia.
How do you name your kid Desert Burn?
Cool.
Well, if your dad is part of the Naval Space Command, then it kind of fits, doesn't it?
Desert Brown.
I just think it's a great name.
It beats Johnny Green.
Well, it's like Dweezil Zappa and Moon Unit.
Yeah, Desert Burn.
Carl Patterson, Macklesfeld, Cheshire, UK, MCC, LES, Field.
I don't know how to pronounce it.
50.
Now, here's one that you have to, you're going to have, the guy says you know how to pronounce it.
He showed me how to pronounce it.
He's in Forced, Belgium.
Spell it.
He's a Dutch, I think.
And the first name is Bas, B-A-S. Bas.
Bas.
And the second name is spelled B-R-U-I-N-I-N-K-X. B-R-U-I-N-I-N-K-X? Bruininks?
Bruininks.
Bas Bruininks.
He had a Brown Inks...
Yeah, Bruininks.
Yeah, exactly.
I think people just send us money just to get a ringtone out of this, you know, with a crazy name.
It's like, hey man, maybe I'll get a ringtone out of it.
Adam and John will mention my name.
Hey, Browningx.
Hey, Bus Browningx.
Ricky Pierce, wake up.
Your phone's ringing, Ricky.
Bus Browningx, you got a phone call.
He's Sydney in Sydney, Australia.
John Petrocini, Hudson, New York.
You've got a call.
Larry, L-A-R-I, Corpy.
After every name you mention, I'll do, you've got a phone call.
Okay, let's go.
Sorry about the people earlier.
Donate again.
We're starting with John Petraccini.
You've got a phone call.
Laurie Corpy.
It's your mother calling.
He is in Helsinki.
Is L-A-R-I a female or male name in Finland?
We don't know.
I don't know.
I hear all the paper plants are closing down in Finland.
For what?
Well, because they're out of business.
Like, no one wants paper anymore.
Oh, yeah.
This is going on all over the world.
But you know how many people work in paper in Finland?
It's like a fifth of the economy works in paper.
No, paper mills are not healthy.
Joseph Maraca.
You have a phone call, Joseph.
In Sarasota, Florida.
David Thaler gave us $105.88.
And here's a text message for you.
He's in another funny town, Shrub Oak, New York.
I'm glad you are amused by that.
I don't know why.
Uwe Mayer, U-W-E, Uwe Mayer, hit it.
Phone call.
Who's in Wiesbaden, Germany, $55.55.
Do you know what that might be?
$55.55?
Can't drive 55.
You know that in Germany the stimulus existed?
I just was reading this the other day.
Companies that didn't fire employees are now being subsidized by the government?
That seems like a really bad idea.
Isn't that like a time bomb?
How long can that last?
We'll see, won't we?
And Vivian Hingsberg, $50.
Burlington, Ontario.
Now, there's another woman that sent us a check for 60 and I left her name in the car.
But she said we shamed her into contributing, which I think was good.
And now we didn't even mention her name, which is...
And we'll mention her name on Thursday.
She'll get a special call out.
And then also Jake sent us a couple of Tea Party dollar coins.
Oh, cool.
And he sent two, so we each have one.
And who mints these dollar coins?
I have no idea.
You have to go look it up online.
Save one.
Save one for when I get back.
I want one.
There's two of them.
You've got one.
I've got one.
And we can put it in our pocket and use it in an emergency.
Yes.
If you could break through the plastic case.
So anyway, I want to remind people that...
If you want a ringtone from now on, if you give us a donation, we'll give you a real special ringtone for $100.
We'll do ringtones for each person.
This is a great premium.
Finally something we can actually execute upon, John, because we're doing the show anyway.
I love it.
And we'll take requests.
If you have a special ringtone request, we'll even read it for you.
You can put a little note somewhere, or you can send us an email, but you can actually put it in the contribution file.
Try a name on me.
Do we have another donation?
That's it.
That's all we got.
Do one of the earlier ones.
Okay, let's do one of the big ones.
Here's $100.
John Stevens.
Hey, Johnny, answer the phone, you douche.
That's a good one.
That's a cool ringtone.
Here's a $200 one that you have to give.
Brian Kaufman.
Try it again.
Yeah, nice going.
I'm sorry.
You sprung that on me.
Try it again.
Brian what?
Brian Kaufman.
The Naval Command is calling you, Brian.
So in other words, what you've just proven is that they're going to have to write the ringtone they want.
That's a much better idea.
Project Serpo, John.
S-E-R-P-O. Well, before you say that, don't forget.
Dvorak.org slash N-A. Noagendashow.com.
Please help us out.
We need all the help we can get.
Believe me.
Project Serpo, coming from the chat room, is the name given to what is said to have been a top-secret exchange between the United States government and an alien planet named Serpo.
Now, this is apparently where this list of non-terrestrial personnel comes from.
Details of the exchange and what it was supposed to have entailed have appeared in several UFO conspiracy stories over the last 30 years, including one incident in 1983 in which a man identifying himself as a U.S. Air Force Sergeant Richard C. Doty, D-O-T-Y, contacted investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe, claiming to be able to supply her Air Force records of the exchange for her HBO documentary, The E.T. Factor.
It's an interesting article, and it's on Wikipedia, so you know it's true.
And I will link to that in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
So there's lots of, quote, evidence out there that goes beyond Roswell.
And, again, when you see all these press releases that are literally from the government talking about the U.S. Naval Space Command, what the hell?
Have you ever heard of the U.S. Naval Space Command?
No.
But they exist, and they also have something to do with that Arctic Sea.
Do we know that they exist?
Can we find a government.gov site?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
It's in this article.
Totally exists.
I don't know what to make of it.
It sounds nutty.
Well, I'm just saying.
So, what else?
I think that's it.
There's not much else that's going on.
We have the NFL preseason, which is just going to be a horrible season.
I'm not watching football anymore.
Besides the fact that the economy is going to come crashing down in October, the global economy, it's going to fall apart completely.
No, there's not much going on.
We've got all the central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
By the way, Ben Bernanke, of course, his term is up as chairman of the Fed, the Federal Reserve.
They're now talking about Larry Summers becoming the...
What?
That's the guy who sleeps all the time in meetings.
Larry Summers may become...
That might be a plus.
Larry Summers, and there was another name...
Oh, the current president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve.
Some woman who just got the gig, I believe.
Nancy Pelosi.
So things are moving.
You should have hit the button.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yay!
Sorry, I'm just a little jet-lagged.
Yeah, I would think.
Alright, so Thursday we will do it all again, and I'll have some details about the U.S. Naval Space Command.
Sounds like a winner.
Yeah, I hear you're jazzed about it, for sure.
Well, I'm interested, and I want people to go to noagendashow.com and noagenda.medio.com or dvork.org slash na and contribute for this week's broadcast.
We appreciate it.
And remember, you can still go out to New York City, Venice Beach, California, Chicago, Illinois, Miami Beach, Florida, Columbus, Ohio, Portland, Oregon, and Maui, Hawaii, and celebrate Go Topless Day!
Gotopless.org brings you all the information.
And I will put up the mailing list link for the No Agenda Dinner, which we are looking at the October Thanksgiving, original Thanksgiving date.
October 3rd, right, is what we're going to do?
Yeah, I think that's what it is.
Coming to you from the 17th Century Canal House Crackpot Command Center in Amsterdam, Gitmo Nation East, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, fog central, so it seems, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Thursday is the date.
