	Hey kids, don't shake, fist.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's November 5th, 2009, time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 145.
	This is no agenda.
	Trailing the Lisbon Treaty and tracking the WOQ. And coming to you from the minimum security containment cell in Gitmo Nation, West San Francisco, California, in the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, back again, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Crackpot and Buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	Yo-ho!
	John, it is the 5th of November.
	Yeah.
	And you know what we're supposed to say then?
	Uh...
	It's Guy Fawkes Day.
	Remember, remember the 5th of November.
	The gunpowder treason in plot.
	I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
	Yeah.
	I love that.
	Conspiracy theorists everywhere are reciting those five lines.
	I don't even remember it.
	It's from...
	Oh, hold on.
	Hold on, John.
	Let me just check something here.
	Are we actually...
	Are we actually recording?
	Yeah, I think we are.
	Dude, so, like, the worst thing in the world happened yesterday.
	I took my laptop to the office and fans of the show...
	We'll know that I have my MacBook Pro completely jacked out.
	Everything is self-contained.
	The whole show, the streaming, the MIDI controllers, the special Skype setup is all configured on my Mac with core audio and it's bleeding edge for the Mac.
	Jacking audio streams under the hood.
	And I opened up my Mac and the screen was dead.
	So the Mac was working.
	It's like the worst thing that I could imagine happening, right?
	And so I got Jeff over and he's like, I don't know, man.
	He said, well, I got it to turn on a couple times, but it didn't turn on every time.
	Like, oh, I so don't need this.
	And so we decided to bite the bullet and transfer everything to the new unibody MacBook Pro, which of course is a really dangerous thing to do because it's like, will all these settings actually port over?
	And bear in mind that Mac has since upgraded its operating system for the new MacBook Pros.
	Right, so you were worried sick.
	Freaking out.
	Worried sick as a dog, I might add.
	I called Mickey.
	I said, oh baby, my laptop blew up and so I got it transported to a new one.
	She's like, okay, I'm canceling dinner plans.
	I'll have everything ready for you when you come home.
	She's like, oh my god, this is going to be an all-nighter for sure.
	But actually, it worked out, I have to say.
	Chapeau bas to the Apple dudes.
	I only had to replace, like, upgrade one or two drivers, and it kind of worked.
	And there you go.
	We're on it right now.
	Yeah, well, that sounds like a good thing.
	How much time did you have to spend?
	Well, Jeff spent a couple hours with the transfer, although it's pretty simple to do.
	Oh, I see what you're saying.
	You had...
	So, yes, you had that Firewire trick where you start up a new Mac and you can say, transfer everything over from my old Mac, but then you have to go in and, you know, some software...
	In other words, you had to use IT, the IT department experts.
	The IT department, yes.
	You had to use outside experts.
	The genius bar.
	Just to get a computer to work.
	No, I had actual work to do, John.
	But I had to get up at 5 this morning to do all the show prep I couldn't do because I didn't have a computer.
	Just saying.
	Yeah.
	Of course, somebody criticized me.
	We have to stop saying just saying.
	You do it, and I do it both, and everybody's doing it.
	Well, we've started a trend.
	I don't know about that.
	So today's show, by the way, our executive producer.
	We actually have an executive producer, but I have to give an associate executive producer a word out, too.
	A so-called AEP. An AEP. Yes.
	So Scott Rodriguez is our executive producer for this show, which is numbered...
	What was the number on the show?
	This is 145, yes.
	145.
	And why is Scott executive producer?
	What is he...
	Because he gave us $250.
	Whoa!
	Wait a minute.
	Is this Scott who...
	Is this Scott who we called his buddy?
	Yeah.
	That was kind of cool.
	Did you call his buddy?
	Yeah, I did.
	Jose?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I called Jose.
	His last name is Can You See?
	Isn't that weird?
	I'm just saying.
	And Lenart Rankema, which is...
	Rankema, probably a Dutch guy.
	Yeah.
	Rinkema.
	Say it with me, John.
	Rinkema.
	There you go.
	And he gave us 222 bucks.
	It just came in under the wire, so I thought I'd give him a call out.
	Thank you both very much.
	You can put that on your resume, on your CV, and we will vouch for you.
	And you can actually say, I was the executive producer of No Agenda, episode 145.
	And once we've uploaded the show, you'll know what the subtitle is.
	It always kind of looks good.
	If you've executive produced an episode of Mad Men or Lost is maybe even better, then there's always an episode like The Others Are Coming.
	It just looks better on the CV. It does.
	Yeah, and we'll vouch for you.
	Yeah, we don't have a problem with it.
	Not at all.
	So, anyway, so go on with your little story.
	Oh, so it worked out.
	Well, that's what it's supposed to do, although normally you don't need an entire IT department just to get a Macintosh running.
	No, that part wasn't just to get the Mac running.
	That was just so I could do some other stuff.
	But then I spent probably two and a half hours updating software, because a lot of the software, you have to get a new version because it doesn't run on Snow Leopard.
	And here's the thing that bugs me.
	This has got to be a $2,000 laptop?
	These things aren't cheap.
	They're not that much.
	Actually, they're a real good deal.
	Really?
	What size screen do you get?
	It's a 15-inch.
	I don't know.
	It's probably about $1,200, $1,300.
	Really?
	But it's got the 2.66 processor.
	Anyway, okay, so it's $1,200, $1,400.
	But if you want to hook up your existing hardware, like an external screen or a FireWire disk, once again, they've changed the connectors.
	How else are they going to make any money?
	Well, I tell you, I had to go to the Apple store at 8.30 last night to get the viewport accessory because you can't just plug in a monitor anymore.
	You have to have a viewport dongle that goes in this little teeny-weeny plug and then it goes into the DVI. So now, actually, I was stupid.
	I should have bought a viewport VGA dongle because if I'm doing a presentation somewhere where they don't have DVI, then, of course, I'll be out of luck.
	It's just lame.
	They don't even include one in the box.
	I mean, come on.
	Isn't that like it's standard?
	You can just plug something in?
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	You have to get a viewport.
	$29.95.
	You know, what can I say?
	Well, what we can say is that it has finally been done.
	Yes, it has taken two years longer than they expected.
	But congratulations to the European Union.
	You now are one.
	As...
	There are one fascist states.
	Vaclav Klaus finally signed the Lisbon Treaty and ratified it this past Tuesday.
	So just in time for the 5th of November.
	It's all so incredibly symbolic.
	Just in time, you now are indeed the United States of Europe and your unelected officials will soon elect a president for you.
	It's all over.
	Isn't it amazing that they could create this giant mega-country and take away everybody's rights to actually elect its own leadership?
	To do anything!
	And there's this huge guffaw going on in the UK about European taxes that will have to be paid.
	Have you been following this?
	On top of all the other taxes?
	Yeah, so the UK will...
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	Okay, wait.
	Wait, let me get this straight.
	I should have never sent you that Glenn Beck clip.
	That's our new European Union sound.
	So, let me get this straight.
	So, I'm a Frenchman, let's say.
	Yes, you would be a perfect Frenchman, by the way.
	And I'm paying the taxes to support my local community.
	No, no, you would be paying le taxes.
	I'd be paying the taxes to pay for my government.
	What's around me?
	I'm paying to support what's going on.
	Why am I going to pay more taxes?
	Because everything's already covered.
	No, because we need a European army.
	That shit is expensive, ma'am.
	Why don't they just take it from the French army?
	Just take a few Frenchmen.
	We have an army in France.
	Let's just move some of these guys over.
	Oh, please.
	L'army in France is not le good.
	We all know that.
	They've got weird-looking helmets.
	It's no good.
	The Foreign Legion.
	Were you going to tell me they're going to tax on top of all the already high taxes?
	Yes.
	So, as an example...
	This just shows you how smart they are in Switzerland.
	They stayed out of this stupid thing.
	And Norway.
	So, even though the United Kingdom is not participating in the Euro, they are, of course, a member of the European Union.
	Still hoping to get Tony Blair in as the El Presidente.
	Secret plans.
	With a forward by European Union Commissioner, José Manuel Borracho, says that the European taxes could cost every British family at least £155 a year.
	That's about £4 billion in taxes going to the European Union.
	Extra taxes, everybody.
	So, you know, please calculate on a pro rata basis for your country according to size and population.
	So, in Le France, you would probably be paying Le More.
	Because there's more people.
	French pay a lot of taxes.
	Isn't that just cool?
	Yeah, I like to know where the money's going.
	So to build an army?
	So what?
	So they can invade someplace?
	They're going to go after Russia again?
	Bring some new Napoleon?
	It's a do-over.
	It's a do-over, John.
	Attack Russia?
	We didn't do it right the first time.
	We've got to do it again.
	This time we're coming with all of us are all together.
	All the Gauls.
	Yeah, instead of just France.
	Choosing either just France or just Germany going after Russia.
	They've never combined forces to go after Russia.
	Now is their chance.
	There you go.
	If I was the Russians, I'd be concerned because Russia has all the oil.
	They have as much oil as the Saudis do.
	Well, that, of course, is what Afghanistan is all about.
	It's because the West, let's just call it that, the North American Union and the European Union want to transport oil without having to deal with Russia.
	So they want to build this Unicol pipeline right across Afghanistan.
	And let me see, who's running Afghanistan again?
	What was his name?
	Karzai.
	Who did he work for?
	Wasn't it Unicol?
	It's Unical, actually.
	I pronounce it in the European way.
	By the way, we want to congratulate, we want to follow the lead of the United Nations and congratulate Karzai on winning his election.
	It's amazing how he does that.
	Congratulations on winning your election.
	After you either killed off your opponent or they just went away.
	Good job.
	Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to No Agenda.
	Our formula is deadly simple.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	And you know what?
	We enjoy doing it.
	We enjoy it.
	When were we going to get a call from the San Francisco Forty?
	You guys are misusing our ad.
	You can't use that.
	You only read that ad.
	Intellectual property, and you really can't.
	There was some more interesting news out of Afghanistan from the, what is it, Minister of Counter-Narcotics.
	He says, this is one of those, there's gambling going on there.
	The Afghan minister of counter-narcotics says foreign troops are earning money from drug production in Afghanistan.
	Really?
	He went on to say that NATO forces are taxing the production of opium in the regions under their control.
	I love it.
	That's so brazen, man.
	Not only will we make you grow it, and will we ship it, but we're going to tax you for growing it.
	It's fantastic.
	This is like the Roman Empire.
	This is the screw jobs they used to pull.
	It's like, okay, let's take over this area.
	Now you're going to get taxed.
	Get your money.
	It's basically robbing people.
	Yeah, correct.
	Well, you know, that's kind of what Hitler did.
	Yeah.
	Did Hitler create a new world currency?
	Did he ever try that?
	No, I was too busy robbing people of their art.
	I got a note from my buddy Parky.
	He's the guy who sent me the $100 trillion Zimbabwe note that I put on my...
	Yeah, I know.
	I wish somebody would send you $100 trillion.
	You're bug now, aren't you?
	Yeah, I get $100 trillion from Zimbabwe.
	So he's in finance, and he sent me this article about the WOKU, Which will launch January 1st, 2010.
	The WOKU stands for World Currency Unit.
	And so he has a couple of articles that he sent.
	And this is essentially what I believe is supposed to become the new reserve currency.
	It's going to be a basket of stuff of different currencies, which will be kind of like the S&P 500.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	You're telling me this is going to be a derivative?
	Yeah.
	It'll be a derivative...
	In the form of currency.
	Yeah, but it won't be paper, but what he's seeing is that it's already being put into the financial system, so there's SWIFT. SWIFT is the system, the international currency transfer system, so the CIA can see if you're sending terrorist money back and forth.
	Right.
	So it's already been entered as a valid currency in the database.
	Oh, really?
	That's interesting.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's already in the...
	Wait a minute, let me get this straight.
	So this bogus currency, the Woku, what a crappy name, by the way.
	I love the name.
	No, it's good for people.
	Hey, you owe me ten Wokus, Dvorak.
	I mean, it sounds, yeah, well, it probably would sound more logical.
	Hey, sailor, hey, sailor, give me a hundred Wokus.
	I give you lots of love.
	I give you Woku back.
	I give you Woku Woku back, baby.
	Woku, Woku.
	Fonzie the bear.
	So anyway, so this thing is already in the system, so I could actually transfer some Wokus?
	Well, it's in the database.
	It'll start as of January 1st.
	Okay, and then it will have a value.
	Yes, it will have a value.
	Or as we tend to say...
	I got people at the office doing that, Tim.
	Well, people.
	Andrew Grummet.
	I got people at the office doing that.
	One guy in the entire office that manages to listen to our show.
	He's going like, whoa!
	Which is a good thing, by the way.
	That only one guy listens to it?
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, you're probably right.
	It's an office full of progressives, let's say.
	Meanwhile, you were up north, and I do want to hear a little bit about your trip.
	The Great White North Gitmo Nation.
	Yeah, gold jumped to a record high after India's central bank bought 200 metric tons from the IMF. It rose to $1,088.50 an ounce.
	So they're going to just pass it out to the public.
	Hey!
	Hey!
	Get your gold, everybody!
	Come on over here!
	Everybody in India gets gold!
	It was really funny.
	I was at the dentist yesterday.
	I had like an emergency crown thingy had to be done.
	And I have two gold inlays and there's this really funny, adorable Russian assistant.
	And she's, I don't know, she's maybe like 60 or whatever.
	But she really has a real heavy Russian accent.
	And so I'm laying there in the chair and Dr.
	Emily is doing me.
	And she looks at my mouth and she says, Very nice gold you have there.
	I was like, what?
	Could you please move her back away from me?
	And she's got pliers and shit.
	I don't want her messing with my golden leg.
	It's getting a little freaky.
	Is it a gold inlay across the front of your mouth so it says curry or something like that?
	It's my grill.
	I'm going to get me a grill that says Woku.
	Grill.
	So if you had been listening to this very program at the beginning of the show when we started, what is it now, John, almost three years ago?
	We started 13 years ago.
	Then you would have made quite a nice little bit of profit if you would have invested along with me in purchasing gold.
	I think a lot of people did.
	I sure hope so.
	Yeah, I think it's time to sell.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, really?
	Okay, let's mark this down.
	November 5th, John says sell the gold.
	Adam says it's blasting right through 2,000.
	Well, that's a good one.
	Hold on to it.
	Yeah, people, somebody out there take notes on this.
	I say it may hit 1100, but then that's going to be the end of it.
	You're such an optimist.
	You have to drop it back.
	It's all rigged.
	It will drop back a little bit.
	It's all rigged.
	Yeah, but the physical gold is really the cool part of it.
	Yeah, great.
	You can use it as a doorstop.
	Correct.
	So let's get into some interesting issues that took place over the last week before I talk about Canada.
	Okay.
	Do you realize, I don't know if you've followed the, you know, the Doug Hoffman story.
	Doug Hoffman?
	No, I can't say is that I have.
	Yeah, the District 23rd Congressional District in New York had this...
	Oh, yeah, I know a little bit about it.
	Go ahead.
	All right, let me give you the scenario how this works.
	So...
	They had a Republican as the, you know, the Democrats need to get a few more Democrats because they're bickering amongst themselves.
	So they had a Republican who was a representative there named John McHugh.
	And Obama decided to, and I think this whole thing was a setup, by the way, Obama decides to take John McHugh and offer him a plum job to get him out of Congress and make him Secretary of the Army.
	Of course, the guy's crazy not to take it.
	Why?
	Is that such a great gig, Secretary of the Army?
	Yeah, you would think of the retirement benefits.
	And the health plan.
	And the health plan and the fact that you get to boss people around.
	You don't get to do that as a congressman.
	You just sit there and board stiff.
	So, this district has been Republican since 1873.
	It has been Republican since 1873.
	Wait, and this guy was a Republican or a Democrat?
	Yes, he was a Republican.
	It's one of those things where Obama pulls a few Republicans here and there.
	And how convenient to pull a Republican out of a district since they have a scheme afoot.
	Let's pull a Republican out of a district that's never been taken by a Democrat since 1873.
	What year was that again, John?
	So, the next thing that happens is that a woman is chosen by the Republicans of New York State, Didi Miskozafava, who is just a mainstream, moderate Republican.
	Okay.
	So, she is...
	toes the line on all the Republican stuff, and she's like...
	except that she's pro-life, and she doesn't care about gay marriage.
	So, she's not really a...
	she's not a good Republican.
	No, no, no.
	She's a Republican.
	She's not a good conservative.
	Oh, okay.
	Right.
	So the next thing, you know, number two, plan two after pulling this guy out, is just to take the kind of counter mouthpiece for the Democrat Party, according to our show, which is Fox News, and have all the Fox people, led by Glenn Beck, find some bonehead named Doug Hoffman, who's a teabagger, Who is also a CPA and one of the dullest people you've ever heard in your life.
	I heard him on Hannity's show.
	He's a big supporter of this guy.
	And run him as a conservative against the Republicans, splitting the vote so the Democrat can get in.
	Right.
	It's basically a setup.
	It was all set up for that to happen.
	It was all set up.
	Now, the only one who spotted this in the Republican Party was obviously Newt Gingrich and Peter King and the NRA, who all supported the woman.
	But Barbara Bachman, who is an idiot, as attractive as she is, she comes out with all of the conservative, we need this conservative.
	And then the other idiot, Palin.
	Oh, we need to put this guy in.
	And then a bunch of other, a lot of has-beens and just ne'er-do-wells from the Republican Party come out.
	Hannity comes out.
	O'Reilly comes out.
	Beck is the big promoter of this.
	And, ta-da!
	Since 1873, we've never had anything but a Republican.
	Now we have a Democrat.
	Did that work out for you people?
	No.
	Is that what you were angling for?
	That's what you got?
	Well, so...
	Now, let's follow this up.
	The Republicans are trying to figure out, well, this is okay because we can run against this guy in the next term.
	Two years from now, we got it made.
	There was a lot of electioneering that was done by these people, these Hoffman people.
	That was illegal.
	The police were called out.
	The whole thing was a fiasco.
	I want to, just for people who are...
	Who are spouting this concept that the conservative knee-jerk conservative agenda is not going to work.
	You know, the fact of the matter is, this is what happened to the state of California.
	It was taken over by the religious right, and we got nothing but Democrats in here.
	And the only reason Schwarzenegger got in is because he snuck in.
	It's because he's married to a hot Democrat.
	Well, I don't think that's the reason.
	Anyway, the point is that this principle, oh, I've got my principles, I've got my principles, I've got my principles, I can't do anything.
	You have to consider compromise negotiation.
	Governance, improving the plight of the people, making the country stronger.
	There's a million reasons that you try to go into office, but these people are just going to be standing by the sidelines with their principles as the Democrats run the country into the ground.
	And this is where we're headed with the Glenn Beck theory of who should be running, you know, be in office, and this rhino thing that all these people go, oh, Republicans in name only!
	Republicans in name only, but apparently these people include Nixon and Eisenhower.
	So what's the point here, John?
	What are you saying?
	What do you advise?
	What do you...
	Get off your high horse, people!
	John, it doesn't matter.
	This woman would have won, and it does matter, because when all is said and done, she was against cap-and-trade, but now there's a pro-cap-and-trade guy in.
	Is that what you wanted?
	No, no, I don't.
	I don't vote there.
	Just saying.
	You can't say that.
	We need a bell.
	Ding!
	Speaking of Glenn Beck, you know, there's some whispering going on out there ever since Lou Dobbs was fired upon.
	Glenn Beck had acute appendicitis.
	Did you hear about this?
	No.
	I was in Canada.
	He was on the radio, and I wish I had a clip of this, but he was on his radio show, and all of a sudden he's off, and he's like in the hospital, he has acute appendicitis, but the word is someone tried to give him two to the head.
	I'm not kidding.
	That's really going around the circles.
	Yeah.
	And you know that they're out to get him.
	You know that they hate him.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	You can go Google that.
	I am.
	I just Googled back to the head, but I got nothing.
	Not yet.
	Save that search.
	Speaking of that, lo and behold...
	The British nuclear expert's 17th floor United Nations building death plunge was not suicide.
	It has now been ruled.
	The family didn't like the autopsy, so they went back, did another one, did a CAT scan.
	And it looks like he was killed in his office, which is on the 6th floor, and then dragged up to the 17th floor and then thrown down the stairs.
	You don't think throwing him down the stairs at the 6th floor is just as good?
	No, I think it hides more evidence.
	What is the point of moving him?
	Because a 6th floor drop may not kill you.
	They killed him on the 6th floor.
	Sixth floor and then they had to move him up to the 17th.
	So he was working on the nuclear test ban projects.
	This is exactly like David Kelly.
	This is exactly what happened before the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
	It's the exact same thing.
	The guy was probably a whistleblower.
	And they off him.
	Yeah, he probably was a whistleblower.
	Well, you know, if you're going to be a whistleblower, I think you have to have exit strategies, backup plans, all kinds of things planned so if anything happens to you, all this information gets out.
	You have to have a dead man's knob.
	You have to have something like an email set to fire off to every news agency or a video or something that if you don't check in every week or so and you don't issue some command, it starts emailing.
	That's what you need.
	That's the dead man's knob.
	I got one.
	Yeah, you need that.
	I got one.
	If I get two to the head, dude, some people are in big trouble.
	Because that email goes out.
	Email about what?
	Everything I know, John.
	It's a whole spreadsheet.
	Okay?
	It's a database that will be revealed.
	All my secrets.
	Meanwhile, the actor...
	This ACTA thing that we've been following also for over two years, I think.
	Certainly a year and a half.
	Two years?
	I think, yeah, a year and a half at least.
	This is the anti-counterfeiting trade agreement which is so secret that the Obama administration refuses to disclose it due to national security concerns.
	So at least part of it has leaked.
	Yeah, it was leaked on Boing Boing in other places, but it came out of some lawyer's blog.
	And I've got to wonder though, when it leaks to Boing Boing, that's got to be pretty intentional.
	I would think.
	But the other thing is, of course, Cory Doctorow is kind of a copyright nutcase.
	True.
	He is essentially one step removed from Richard Stallman.
	That's quite a stretch.
	And by the way, that's close to an insult.
	I'd be careful with that.
	I'd be very careful.
	Yeah, so it's all about, it's kind of the same thing that's already law in France, where ISPs, you know, three strikes you're out rule, notice and takedown, it's all about breaking DRM. It's just more of the same.
	So I think it's a distraction, if anything.
	Might be.
	Because some really interesting news came out just the other day.
	One of our producers sent it to me.
	And this also has to do with trademark and copyright law.
	And I'm not going to start the jingle because I'm sure we'll get to it later.
	But it turns out that a couple of scientists who actually work for the World Health Organization Influenza Laboratory hold a patent For a bioengineered swine flu virus, which of course means that they hold the patent on the vaccine.
	So a couple things are interesting about this.
	One, they filed the patent in 2006.
	I find that to be highly amusing.
	Was it?
	Yeah.
	No, you broke up.
	I couldn't hear you.
	Oh, I said they filed the patent in 2006.
	I find that to be rather amusing on the timeline of the swine flu.
	Yes, 2006 is when it was filed.
	The swine flu didn't even appear.
	Well, they were already making it and had patented it.
	Well, that's an interesting development.
	Yes, that's why I find it rather interesting.
	And that they work for the World Health Organization.
	No, they work for the World Health Organization.
	Oh, the one run by that woman.
	Yeah, like the one who set the pandemic levels, the one who has a treaty, the World Health Constitution that you sign, and if they say forced vaccinations, we're supposed to listen to them.
	And they're from New Zealand.
	Robert Webster and Richard Webby.
	Interesting there.
	Are listed as patent holders for U.S. patent application, blah, blah, blah, genetically engineered swine flu.
	So Webster holds...
	The Rosemary Thomas Chair in Virology at St.
	Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
	He's also a director of the World Health Organization's collaborating center on the ecology of influenza viruses in lower animals and birds, which, coincidentally, is the world's only laboratory designed to study influenza at the animal-human level.
	Hmm.
	Sketchy.
	It's sketchy.
	It just doesn't get any clearer.
	It's pretty obvious.
	You know, the whole thing's a scam and probably the swine flu was genetically engineered in the first place?
	Sure looks like it.
	Well, that's the way you do it.
	I mean, first you create the solution and then you cause the problem.
	This is what happened with computer viruses.
	Yes.
	I mean, they weren't even popular until they were kind of popularized by the antivirus companies.
	Yeah, and people keep on installing that Symantec stuff.
	I just don't get it.
	It's like, don't you see?
	Don't you get it?
	Usually, well, then the argument is to go to a Macintosh.
	Case in point.
	And talking about Linux, I might mention this, by the way, to get back on this District 23 thing, is the Richard Stallman, since you mentioned him, we tried to get him on the Cranky Geeks.
	He would be great on Cranky Geeks.
	Will he ever come on Cranky Geeks?
	No, and I'll tell you why.
	Oh, okay.
	We had to try to get him because he's an absolutist.
	He's like one of these conservative Republicans.
	Hey man, if that show isn't streamed in Og Vorbis, then I'm not coming on the show.
	No, it was the following.
	He said, okay, I'll come on the show, but anytime you refer to Linux, you have to call it GNU Linux.
	He said, no, no, we're not going to do that.
	Well, then I'm not coming on.
	Well, then he never gets on anything.
	Because he has all these, you know, I have my absolutist way of doing this.
	I refuse to compromise.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Which is, by the way, the problem with the state of California.
	John, John, John, hold on.
	Would it kill you?
	Would it kill you to have the guy on just if you have to say GNU Linux?
	Would it really kill you?
	Would it be that tough for you?
	Or are you an absolutist?
	Because that's clearly what's going on here.
	No, the problem is that you make such a stink about it that if we agreed to that, then there would be something else.
	Well, you don't know that.
	I'm going to talk to Carlos and Sebastian, and we'll get the guy on.
	And you know what?
	We'll do it in post.
	So every single time you say Linux, I'll go GNU! GNU! And we'll just insert a little GNU. I've talked to Stallman.
	The other problem is he's probably not going to be good television.
	Hold on.
	What did you do?
	My mic stand just fell.
	The paper towel rack?
	No, it's not the paper towel rack anymore.
	It's the Radio Shack telescopic antenna, remember?
	Oh, the roach...
	Sorry, the roach clip just clipped me.
	That hurt.
	What did it hurt?
	You got it on your nose or something?
	No, it pinched my finger.
	Oh, it pinched your little finger?
	Speaking of GNU Linux, our favorite $18 million website, recovery.gov, has been changed.
	They had to spend the money on something.
	What do they spend it on?
	They spend it on changing it from the wonderful...
	What the hell is that open source thing called?
	Drupal.
	Drupal.
	They change it to SharePoint.
	Why?
	Give the money to Microsoft, of course.
	SharePoint?
	Yeah, they're saying that they couldn't display all their snazzy graphs and data with Drupal.
	That's bullshit.
	You can do anything in Drupal.
	No, apparently you can if you work for the government, John.
	It's literally what it says.
	Let me, uh...
	This is a lie, by the way.
	If what you're going to read me, I'm going to tell you in advance is a lie.
	Okay, let me just read it to you.
	Originally, Recovery.gov version 1.0 was powered by Drupal, an open-source content management platform offering blogs, forums, newsletters, and podcasting amongst its features.
	But users were not able to follow the recovery funds from beginning to end as the Obama administration had envisioned and promised.
	Nor could site administrators use the site to handle the approval process needed to collect, sort, and display spending data being collected from recipients of the funds.
	As a result, the site became a target and verbal punching bag for watchdogs, open government advocates, and lawmakers who were underwhelmed with the content and capability of Recovery.gov.
	Go look at it now and tell me if you understand what's going on.
	I'm reading, by the way, a blog right here.
	It says, depending on which license you purchase, SharePoint can cost from $4,000 to $25,000.
	But what does the price get you?
	It doesn't offer any advantage over free and open source software, e.g.
	Drupal.
	Yeah.
	Of course not.
	Well, let me go look at it.
	What?
	Recovery.gov?
	Yeah, I'm looking at it now.
	Hang on.
	It's confusing.
	It's just a whole bunch of data.
	Do they need to switch over?
	Yeah, I guess so.
	It looks kind of the same.
	You know, well...
	You sure that this is the same thing?
	Let me take a look at the source.
	It better not say, Created by...
	Powered by Drupal.
	Look what it says in the first line, Adam.
	Do you believe that?
	What does it say in the first line?
	No, never mind.
	I guess it's a joke over.
	It's timing.
	No, you broke up.
	That's why.
	Honey, stop uploading porn.
	What?
	Stop uploading porn.
	Why?
	It's probably because I loaded this thing.
	Why?
	No, I have a network monitor running here.
	And so the minute Mickey's uploading the porn, I can see it.
	So it wasn't you.
	I can't immediately tell.
	Gosh, damn, it's horrible.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	There you go.
	Well, you know, it's because I'm on the recovery.org.
	Let me kill it.
	Yeah, maybe you should.
	It's probably pinging the hell out of me.
	Yeah, it's so incredibly net aware that it's probably sucking down the contents of your entire drive.
	Too late.
	Yeah.
	Zapped it already.
	So what else we got?
	Well, let's talk about Canada, eh?
	Okay.
	So the Canadians are completely freaked out about H1N1 because it's all that the CBC talks about.
	So I go up to Port Angeles and I'm watching Canadian news before I go to Canada.
	And it's just H1N1. It's like the national news.
	It's all it is.
	And it's mostly showing long lines.
	I mean, we're talking long lines.
	With mostly pregnant women holding a baby kind of people in the line.
	They can't get their shots.
	I know.
	And they're interviewing him.
	Oh, I wish I could get my shop.
	I have to come back again tomorrow.
	So, talking about nothing to see here.
	Don't look over here!
	Nothing to see here!
	Ooh, look at that!
	So a scandal breaks out.
	Oh, it's a scandal.
	A Canadian scandal.
	A Canadian scandal.
	The Calgary Flames, apparently, as the headline puts it, jumped the queue.
	No!
	Don't say it's not true, John.
	And there's headlines in the various newspapers of the despicable actions of the Calgary Flames.
	They got their flu shots without standing in line.
	I swear to God, it's like the Calgary Flames didn't have to stand in line.
	This is terrible.
	They should have stood in a long line like the rest of us.
	That is such a perfect media assassination.
	That is such a great meme to spread.
	And in fact, I think they'll use that here as well.
	I think they even tried that.
	I recall, no, it was in the Netherlands they tried this already, where they said, oh, well, politicians and famous people will get the shot first.
	It didn't go anywhere.
	The meme just didn't spread properly.
	But I bet it's all over the news, right?
	That's all people are talking about.
	Front page headlines.
	Oh, yeah, of course.
	Front page headlines about how...
	And they fired the doctor who apparently worked for the government.
	This guy's ruined.
	I love it.
	Well, we might as well play the jingle then.
	So they fired the doctor, and they are, as I speak now, they are still harping on this.
	And now there's been two or three websites that have cropped up boycotting the Calgary Flames for jumping the queue.
	And there's a woman being interviewed on the radio as I was headed back to the airport, because this is all on.
	I will never go to another Calgary Flames game, and I refuse to deal with the National Hockey League.
	As long as I live, I'll never do it again.
	And the National Hockey League sucks because they did this.
	And meanwhile, the other hockey teams are wondering why they didn't get any shots.
	And now, the latest thing that I saw as I left, I just had to roll my eyes over this one, is that the BC Lions, which is the football team from Vancouver...
	Yeah.
	The coach put an edict out, and you have to realize, you know, we're talking about professional football.
	The coach put an edict out because of the possibility of spreading swine flu.
	No high fives.
	No high fives?
	No high fives because it might spread the swine flu.
	Meanwhile, these guys are bashing into each other.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Don't they have gloves on?
	What is that?
	Most of them have gloves.
	It's cold up there.
	They've got gloves, face masks.
	What's going on?
	This is crazy.
	This is crazy.
	They're rolling around in a pile.
	But you can't high fives.
	This guy's an idiot.
	I love it.
	Hey, you know, we're doing everything we can to combat the spread of H1N1 swine flu.
	So there'll be no A5s, eh?
	And there's really no counter-programming to the H1N1. It's the greatest show on earth.
	Why would there have to be any counter-programming?
	It's the best thing ever.
	There's a video clip that's been going around about a Council on Foreign Relations meeting where a whole bunch of academics and doctors getting together, talking about how they combat the negative messaging about H1N1 vaccination.
	So they're kind of bantering about trying to come up with ideas as to how they can actually get people to take the vaccine, all the anti-vaxxers, etc.
	And this is the 13 seconds in the clip that really does it for everybody, that is just too funny.
	Listen to this genius woman who's on the panel, who has a great idea.
	And of course, listen to how they laugh about this great idea.
	I think what would work better would be to say that there was a shortage and people tend to line up more for something that they meant.
	We saw that.
	There was one season where really people lined up all night to get a flu shot.
	Yeah, that's what they're doing in Canada.
	Well, but they're doing it here too.
	New York Times, it's even gotten better, John.
	The nation is now facing a vaccine shortage for seasonal flu.
	Oh, this is horrible!
	This is all...
	What, they got the Nintendo marketing guy there that did the Wii?
	They're doing...
	That's exactly it!
	It is exactly it!
	They're using the same concept they use for the Wii.
	I love it!
	It's great!
	And meanwhile...
	They've tested some of the European vaccines, and according to, I guess, French researchers who published this in Le Journal Nature Biotechnologie, that there are two specific nanoparticles In the vaccine.
	Now nanoparticles, of course, this is something that the vaccine industry has been looking at for a while because it's supposed to be kind of like the new adjuvant where these miniature, miniature particles rush through not just your bloodstream but through cells and everything making the effect of the vaccine much more powerful.
	Of course, asbestos is also a nanoparticle and it's not been tested but apparently it's in some of the European versions of the vaccine.
	Oh, that should be interesting.
	I like the fact that they're experimenting on the public en masse.
	We're not talking about little tests here and there in some podunk area or what they used to do in the South where they used to get black people and only test on them or prisoners.
	Yeah, what happened to the good old days, John?
	The good old days when they only tested on prisoners and the poor.
	Now they're testing on the entire public so nobody has anything to complain about.
	Yeah.
	Meanwhile, and I'm really interested more, I have to say, what am I going to say about the safety of it?
	We won't really know until...
	We'll find out eventually.
	Eventually, but it's going to take quite a while.
	So I'm very interested, as you say, in the Nintendo marketing aspect of it.
	And what I found fascinating in Gitmo Nation East in the Netherlands, contradictory to a study that was just done by CBS News, So CBS polled a number of states independently and said, okay, of all of the cases of people coming into the hospital who think they have swine flu, what percentage of those people actually have swine flu?
	And it turns out that it was a very small percentage, like 15 or 16 percent.
	No, I thought it was less than 10.
	In some cases it was like 7, but I'll just say an average was like 10 percent.
	Let's just call it an average of 10.
	In the Netherlands...
	The Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu, surely you've heard of it, which of course is a governmental body, is saying that 95% of everyone coming into the doctor's office has the Mexican flu, which of course is the European version of, which is their marketing, their brand for swine flu in Europe.
	I just find that fascinating.
	So either they're really, really sick, or someone's...
	They're full of crap is what's fascinating about you.
	Let me give you another one.
	This is where we're on the topic.
	And I apologize to people out there who think this is boring, because there's, I guess, one person that thinks that.
	So now they've discovered a cat with swine flu.
	So now the funny thing is the CDC itself and everybody else says, you know, we don't really test for it where there's really swine flu.
	We just go by the symptoms because the test is expensive.
	So why would somebody even test her?
	If you've got a sick cat, who would suspect it would have swine flu to the point where you test for it?
	This is bull.
	Now they say there's a swine flu infected dog.
	Now, I'm...
	I'm reminded of a story that came out when I used to write op-eds for the San Francisco Examiner, and this was probably in the mid-80s.
	There was a scandal over grapes coming in from Chile where someone had apparently put cyanide into the batch and all the grape shipments had to be stopped.
	This was obviously some sort of a commerce scam.
	And they showed a photo of a grape with a pinprick in it.
	Where the cyanide was injected into a single grape amongst, I guess, what?
	A hundred billion grapes that were coming in from Chile?
	And they showed these two grapes with pinpricks, which seemed to me like an unlikely thing to discover if it was even the case.
	Because it wasn't.
	I'm examining my grapes for pinpricks.
	And so I wrote up the fact that this obviously was bogus, because, you know, it's just impossible for this sort of thing to happen.
	And there was some other backstory that we didn't know, and I never did find out what it was.
	But it was obviously somebody wasn't getting the right kind of bribe or whatever.
	And the next thing you know, wait, the grapes are now cleared for import.
	So they started bringing the grapes in again, and then there was never any follow-up to this bull.
	Of course not.
	I mean, there's no way.
	Meanwhile...
	Meanwhile, in the Ukraine, people are really dying quickly.
	Yeah, there's something going on there.
	And this is not swine flu.
	478,000 people have influenza, over 24,000 hospitalized, 60 are on ventilators or breathing apparatus, and 81 reported dead.
	But this is the hemorrhagic flu.
	Am I pronouncing that correctly?
	Yeah.
	Hemorrhagic?
	And, of course, I have a suspicion that Baxter International has a plant up there.
	Baxter's been known to release shit by their own admission now, in fact.
	Of course, they've gone unpunished.
	They've been known to release live viruses in things like, oh, I don't know, flu vaccine.
	And they have all kinds of weird stuff going on.
	Another report here...
	Well, here's what gets me about these reports out of this area.
	They say it's a particularly...
	They suspect it's a particularly virulent version of H1N1. Wait a minute.
	Yeah, so that means it would have mutated.
	Then we all should be freaking out.
	It means it's a different virus.
	Yeah.
	Well, what is it then?
	Has anybody isolated this thing and looked at it under a microscope?
	I mean, what's new?
	What's different?
	The World Health Organization, according to AP, said Tuesday it was valid to assume that most of the cases of influenza reportedly sweeping through the Ukraine were caused by the pandemic AH1N1 virus.
	So they're actually saying it is the novel H1N1 virus.
	You notice the word is in there.
	The word is in there.
	Assume.
	Let me just see that again.
	Yet it is valid to assume.
	You're right.
	Assume.
	You know what that means.
	Yeah, bullshit.
	You assume.
	Laboratory testing in Ukraine has confirmed pandemic H1N1 influenza's virus in samples taken from patients in two of the most affected regions.
	That means nothing.
	And here it is.
	The highest rate of acute respiratory illness and influenza-like illness.
	Oh, man.
	You know, words really do matter.
	They really do matter.
	And people just read right over it.
	Right over it.
	Don't care at all about what's being shoved in front of you.
	Meanwhile, leaked documents from IBM. Yes, the IBM you're thinking of.
	This is from France.
	This is from the Services and Global Procurement Pan-IOT Europe at IBM. An official interdepartmental document was distributed to upper-level management in 2006, saying that a planned pandemic has a 100% chance of occurring within the next five years.
	What?
	Yes.
	You can read this online.
	It's everywhere.
	The document also describes quarantines and operational procedures to be taken upon the official announcements of the pandemic by the World Health Organization.
	The foreknowledge of such an event could not exist, of course, unless the pandemic was a planned event.
	So this is what some are calling the smoking gun of this being a, you know, add that with the patent on the genetically engineered swine flu virus.
	Two years before swine flu.
	And this is also in 2006 when IBM released this inter-office document.
	As evidenced by the document, IBM's primary concerns are focused on maintaining their workforce even under an official quarantine and the continuation of sales and services to their clients.
	Because what a lot of people don't know is IBM's biggest business is actually a service business, not selling your ThinkPad.
	That means they have to go out in the field a lot and give high-fives.
	Our strategy is simple.
	We go out and we high-five people and give them swine flu.
	Yeah.
	So the government, the CDC, has put together an advisory committee on immunization practices.
	Do you think, by the way, that maybe this has all been known by the Obamas from the beginning and that's why they do that fist bump thing?
	Because it's like...
	I like that.
	That's an awesome theory.
	Ladies and gentlemen, from now on, you are no longer allowed to shake hands.
	You will fist each other.
	Fisting.
	It's safe for everybody.
	Hey kids, don't shake.
	Fist.
	I can hear the commercials already.
	It's going to be awesome.
	So they put together this advisory committee on immunization practices concerning prevention of the plague.
	Which, by the way, the plague does exist, John.
	Oh yeah.
	The actual plague.
	And there's still like a couple thousand people a year in the United States who die from the plague.
	Yeah, if it's diagnosed correctly immediately, a shot of antibiotics takes it out.
	So they put this panel together, and on this panel, the leader, the chairperson, is Professor Marie McCormick.
	So she's in charge of making sure that all the vaccines are safe.
	Essentially, it's a marketing panel who's going to be sitting out there saying, it's safe, go ahead, don't worry about it.
	Which, of course, will be varied with...
	So I look up her history, see who this woman is, and by the way, I encourage you whenever you see a press release, just go ahead and look up a bio of some of these people.
	This woman, Marie McCormick, chaired the Immunization Safety Review Committee of the Institute of Medicine, which produced a seminal report.
	What does seminal mean, John?
	That means the most recent, most definitive, the one that you look to to get the actual dope.
	Okay, so the seminal report, the truth, I guess we could say, that emphasized, which of course is already a weakening word there, the lack of evidence for a link between autism and the MMR vaccine.
	So she's a shill.
	She's not independent.
	She's already predisposed to thinking that there's no link between vaccinations and certain neurological diseases.
	Yeah, well, that's what the report indicated.
	Right, but she's on this panel that's supposed to be making sure everything's safe.
	Well, she probably got on the payroll of a drug company, let's face it.
	It's questionable.
	But, you know, the problem is there's only so many people in the world that do this kind of work, and so they're going to be cross-referenced all over the place, and so you never really know.
	That's true.
	It's not as though you can find somebody that has no links to any drug companies that happens to be working in the drug industry.
	It's just not going to happen.
	I was shopping for my favorite breakfast cereal, Cocoa Krispies.
	Did you get a...
	We blog this, by the way.
	The Now Helps Support Your Child's Immunity.
	They've got this huge immunity banner on Cocoa Krispies.
	I have to go get a box of this because this is a museum item.
	Yeah, it is a museum item.
	You're right.
	You're absolutely right.
	If everybody out there, you should do yourself a favor.
	Get some Cocoa Krispies.
	Throw the Cocoa Krispies out, because they're going to get bugs in them.
	No, no, they'll last forever.
	Nothing will happen.
	The Cocoa Krispies never die.
	They're rocks.
	You can keep those around forever.
	Don't open the box.
	It'll be worth more.
	Well, technically you're right, but I just have my doubts that the thing would hold up.
	So anyway, just for those of you who haven't seen it, and links to everything we talk about is in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	Literally, Coco Crispies is a huge yellow banner with blue words across the bottom that says, basically, now with immunity!
	Help support your child's immunity.
	So what they've done is, I guess they've sprayed some vitamin A, C, and E onto this crap.
	Is that what you've discovered?
	Yes, yeah.
	So that's how it helps your immunity.
	They can't lie.
	And vitamin A, C, and E are known to fight.
	Actually, they should put some D in there if they really want to be right.
	And the way they market that is, now help support your child's immunity.
	Yeah, I guess if you ate 50 boxes of this stuff, you might have the equivalent of one pill.
	And meanwhile, the FDA is out there sending nasty letters and fining and threatening to arrest people who have some herbal medicine that might help you against H1N1 and stuff like, I don't know, vitamin D3. They're telling people to take down websites or go to jail.
	And then Cocoa Krispies is just coming out with this now, so help support your child's immunity!
	It's so...
	Ah, we love the corruption.
	Yeah, we love it.
	And we love it, and we love bringing it to you.
	I have a question, John.
	Last week I tried something new with our donations.
	I really got in people's face.
	I hit them in the mouth.
	Did it make a difference?
	No.
	What it did, actually, is we got...
	We're going to go over the donors this week.
	We got some bigger donations, but we didn't get more donations by any means.
	In fact, I think it was probably less.
	Even though the total was good, but it wasn't anything fantastic.
	So maybe I shouldn't do that anymore, then.
	Well, you and your experiments, you know, are dubious.
	Well, you try it this week.
	You go ahead.
	I will.
	Ladies and gentlemen, go to the NoAgendaShow.com or Dvorak.org slash NA and donate.
	Please, please, please donate.
	We'll make the show better.
	How's that?
	Albert, Albert, Albert.
	Very good.
	Okay, so let's do it.
	Let's run down the list.
	Yeah, please.
	Sterling Ellsworth, he's in for the seventh time with $77.77.
	Fantastic.
	Well, that's it.
	It was nice knowing you.
	Pretty much.
	Thank you.
	We really appreciate it.
	Eight is a lucky number in China.
	You can always go for 777 times.
	Either way, I really appreciate that.
	That's been a fun donation to watch.
	I don't know what he's going to do for an encore.
	But it's pretty funny.
	I like it.
	So anyway, he's in Santa Barbara.
	It's funny because he kind of laid back for a while because he had this seventh one.
	And he sends a little note on the PayPal thing that says, number seven.
	Yeah, like that's it.
	Just like we weren't counting, dude.
	And then we have a guy, Eric Pross, P-R-A-S-E-R-I-K. Where do you think he might be from?
	Spell that again.
	P-R-A-S. P-R-A-S? I don't know.
	He could be from Scandinavia.
	Marsson.
	Marson, which is Denmark?
	Netherlands.
	Oh, Marson!
	Double A. I'm sorry, your pronunciation kind of threw me off.
	Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
	What's your name?
	Marson.
	Marson.
	Sounds like it's from Scotland.
	Yeah.
	It's kind of the same thing.
	He gave us 50.
	Then we have, of course, our producer, our executive producer, Scott Rodriguez, who's actually a knight from Santa Ana, gave us $250.
	And he did ask for a favor, which we complied, since whatever the knights tell us we do, Yeah, we are completely at the beck and call and service of our knights.
	And in this case, Scott asked us to call his friend Jose on his birthday.
	And didn't Jose, wasn't there something else he asked us to do?
	Wasn't there another thing that I saw coming on email?
	No, not really.
	Yeah, there was.
	No?
	I don't think so.
	You're just ignoring it?
	There was something, John.
	Well, I'll go back and look at the notes in a second.
	I'll look at it.
	Go ahead.
	And now we have another...
	Did we do John Persiel in Hamburg?
	No, I guess not.
	I don't think so.
	P-E-R-S-I-E-L. It sounds like a Dutch name to me.
	Could be.
	Jan.
	Could be.
	P-E-R-S-I-E-L Persiel?
	I don't know.
	Anyways, in Hamburg gave us 55-55, which is kind of interesting.
	And then Robert Christie in Chatham.
	That must be the UK. UK. And he gave us 50.
	Yes.
	Which is about $7.50 in pounds.
	By the way, the Canadian money, they keep changing it constantly.
	What do you mean?
	They keep bringing out new bills and you can't find the old bills.
	I dug up my old Canadian money and brought it up to him.
	He said, don't spend that money, eh?
	It's worth more money than it's worth spending for.
	Anyway.
	$53 from David Austin in Irvine, and he wanted us to make sure to note that 53 is Einstein's prime number.
	It's also the atomic number for iodine, which I think is more appropriate.
	Oh, nice, nice.
	James Gutz.
	In Padden City, West Virginia.
	Didn't I do Goots last week?
	I'm not sure.
	I don't think so.
	It's okay.
	5150?
	Yeah, I think you actually did.
	If we get 5150 a lot.
	That's the free hollow books guy.
	That's who that is.
	Oh yeah.
	He said he would put together a hollow book for me.
	What about me?
	Do I get a hollow book?
	Well, so he, yeah.
	In fact, I'll have him make two.
	He said, what book do you want it to be?
	I said, Atlas Shrugged, of course.
	So he went out and he says, man, the hardcover of Atlas Shrugged, they want like 700 bucks for it.
	I said, dude, I'm sure I can find a hardcover cheaper somewhere for you.
	Well, we'll see if we can find him and then let him do him.
	Jeremy Peck out of Melbourne.
	Australia.
	I just saw that movie Australia with Nicole Kidman.
	Have you ever seen that movie?
	Oh my god, it's phenomenal.
	And I'm not a big Kidman fan.
	And this is the one with Hugh Jackman?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh my god, I saw it in HD on HBO. Fantastic movie.
	The reviews came in on it.
	I thought they were decidedly mixed.
	Because there were no huge explosions and she didn't flash her tits.
	I mean, come on.
	That's what movies that make money have to show.
	No, this was a beautiful story.
	Actually, a bit of history about the Japanese attacking Darwin, which not a lot of people know, but the Japanese did attack Darwin.
	Darwin, Australia.
	Darwin, Australia.
	Not Charles Darwin.
	Poor bastard.
	And it was a really beautiful story.
	And if you've never been to Australia, even if you have, which I have, you see this country and you're just like, oh my God, particularly in HD. It's just an outstanding story.
	Also about the Aboriginal children who are...
	Taken away.
	So the mixed race, known as the Creenies.
	So that was typically white father, aboriginal, or black mother.
	Because not all blacks in Australia at the time were aboriginal.
	Yeah, they would take the kids away.
	Yeah, they'd take them away and give them to the church.
	The church would take care of them.
	Do you know that that wasn't abolished until 1973?
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	That went on for quite a while.
	Wow.
	Anyway, it was a good movie.
	I'm sorry.
	That's a movie recommendation from Andrew Curry.
	Andrew?
	Yeah.
	What is that?
	Well, I was reading Andrew Peranchuk, and then I said Andrew, because I'm looking at the word Andrew.
	Because you're old.
	So, Andrew Curry, sorry, Adam Peranchuk, no, I'm sorry, Andrew Peranchuk, and he's in, by the way, he has an email address, I'm not going to say his address, but it's an interesting one.
	He's from Eto'o Bicoke, E-T-O-B-I-C-O-K-E. Don't tell me that's another Dutch place that you're slaughtering.
	No, it's in Ontario, Canada, as a matter of fact.
	And I would like somebody to get me some information on why this town was named this.
	Anyway, Andrew Paranchuk.
	That's 50.
	And onward to Michael...
	I don't know.
	I think people just...
	Here's another one in Milton, Canada.
	We're getting good comments from Canada.
	I think it's actually a new practice of our listeners slash producers who are just making up last names just to see if you can bumble through them long enough.
	It's going to be like Mike Hunt from Alberta, Canada.
	Mike Hunt.
	See more butts.
	Ben Dover.
	Maya as in Gaia, Maya Tico.
	It's M-A-I-A-T-I-C-O. I guess.
	Another $50, I bet.
	$51.71, which is probably something.
	I'll have to look back and see if it's anything.
	And then we have Lennart Rekuma.
	That's the Dutch name.
	spell that for me r-e-n-k-e-m-a rinkema rinkema rinkema rinkema rinkema lennart rinkema who gave us two hundred and twenty two dollars and twenty two cents here try this ik ben in the rucker brother then we have is our our our knights-in-waiting tristan lennon We've had him.
	He's just contributing generally.
	Mike Westerfield, of course.
	And then we have John Snyder, who has a palindrome of $50.05.
	Nice.
	And he's in Chicago.
	Well done.
	So he knows the ropes.
	Gitmo Central.
	That's it, huh?
	That's it.
	That's your scheme.
	So try your scheme again, John.
	I really liked it.
	Would you like a little bit of music?
	Oh, man, we need the money so bad.
	Can you please help us out?
	By the way, we do want to thank everybody who's even given us lesser amounts, and there's plenty of that.
	Oh, and there goes the phone.
	Donations are coming in as we speak, John.
	It's phenomenal how well it works.
	They're dialing them in right then and there.
	Gotta love it.
	Can you call me back in 15 or texting in half an hour?
	Yeah.
	Half an hour is much closer.
	Alright, thank you everybody.
	Thank you very much for your donations.
	We desperately want to move to a third day a week.
	We are certainly not on track to do that at this moment.
	But if every one of our listeners gave us $5 a year, it could happen tomorrow.
	That's the numbers.
	That is the absolute truth in the numbers.
	It's that simple.
	These guys keep writing in the complaining.
	You know, if all that energy you spent typing your complaint letters, just click on the PayPal button at noagendashow.com or at dvorak.org slash na, and we'll do what you want.
	Or become a knight, and we'll do completely what you want.
	You know, if you're a knight, you truly are in charge of the show.
	Wouldn't you agree, John?
	Absolutely.
	I mean, we do all kinds of stuff to favors for our friends.
	By the way...
	I have another donation that just came in, or kind of came in today, Jeremy Peck.
	And the reason I'm going to throw it into this week is because it's $50, but he's got a comment that I need to read.
	He's, by the way, in...
	Oh, he's the guy in Melbourne.
	Okay.
	That's Melbourne.
	Melbourne.
	Anyway, Peck has this, I decided to donate because at work I overheard someone recommending Atlas Shrugged.
	Yay!
	So there's our Atlas Shrugged mention.
	Where's the bell?
	To someone else, I was going to tell them that the book sucks, but instead I thought it would be more fun for them to suffer.
	Funds for Ayn Rand haters only.
	If you really want to know what's going on and how we can get out of this horrible mess that has been created, then have a read of this book written by Ayn Rand.
	You'll be no further along.
	You'll feel much better.
	You will.
	All right.
	Noegendashow.com.
	Somebody sent me in a really long thing, but we'll do it next week.
	But that would require you to stay awake long enough to read it, so yeah.
	So anyway, thanks to everybody.
	And of course, this takes up a lot of time, and one of these days we'll have to...
	It's a very simple formula.
	If every one of our listeners slash producers gave us $5, they would all fall under the $50 level.
	We wouldn't have to mention them all.
	Yeah.
	It's real simple.
	I like people that give us a couple hundred dollars, I think, that say they feel the need to do it.
	They get the job title, in the case of Rodriguez, and the guys whose name I can't pronounce.
	And...
	And they get, you know, it looks good on the bio.
	So there is a...
	There's another...
	There's another new...
	We've had all kinds of interesting illnesses that the pharmaceutical industry is making drugs for.
	There's a new one that I can't wait to try.
	You mean like Restless Leg Syndrome?
	Well, there's that.
	There's Viagra, of course.
	There's a number of interesting...
	Irritable bowel disease, which by the way, people actually do suffer from irritated bowels, but to come up with this generalization of irritable bowel disease is kind of bullshit.
	But the FDA has identified female sexual dysfunction, which is FSD, better known as restless vagina syndrome.
	And there's a drug for it, John.
	Lexifem.
	Lexifem?
	Yes, because you're not alone.
	You're among the 43...
	You're not alone.
	You're among the...
	You've got to see the website.
	You're among the 43% of American women who experience some degree of impaired sexual function.
	And this is according to the Journal of American Medical Association, the AMA. Who's working with the FDA have an evolving definition of FSD. Oh yeah, you have to have an evolving definition.
	Yeah, not horny.
	So what happens if a guy and a girl get together and she's popping Lexifem and he's popping Viagra?
	I mean, do you just stick it in and the shit explodes?
	I mean, what's going to happen?
	I don't know.
	Somebody's going to have a heart attack, that's what I can tell you.
	They can't be good.
	The Lexifem pills contain horny goat weed extract.
	What?
	Horny goat weed extract.
	Is that true?
	Yeah, that's what it says on their website.
	In order to, quote, feel like a real woman today, you won't ever feel unhappy again with Lexifem in your arsenal.
	That's even better.
	I want to do the commercial for that.
	I will do the voiceover for that commercial gratis.
	So this came in, if you look it up, on the Google.
	And by the way, we do have a lecture coming up next week for you from Ukraine.
	I got a nasty note from somebody saying it's not the Ukraine, it's Ukraine.
	That is correct and I stand corrected.
	It is Ukraine, you're right.
	And I actually caught myself doing it but tried to cover it up.
	But it's not an unusual usage, by the way, because there are other countries like the Czech Republic and the United States of America, which throw the the in because it just sounds better, because you sound like an idiot.
	You say, where are you going?
	I'm going to United States of America.
	You know, you need to put the the in there.
	And people are used to saying the Ukraine.
	And it's, you know, I'm going to Ukraine.
	I apologize.
	No, I apologize.
	It sounded dumb.
	It sounded dumb.
	What can I say?
	But the Ukrainians apparently don't.
	By the way, Edmonton, Ontario, where I was.
	What am I saying?
	Edmonton, Alberta, where I was.
	Edmonton, Andrew, where I was.
	Where were you?
	He's voted with Ukrainians.
	And I went to a Ukrainian restaurant and had an outstanding meal.
	Hey, you didn't high-five anybody, did you?
	No, you do not high-five in Canada anymore.
	Good.
	I was looking for someone to fist.
	Alright, I got a couple of clips I want to play.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Let me get back to the point.
	Horny goat weed is all over the net if you look it up.
	Horny goat weed.
	And it keeps cropping up as an aphrodisiac.
	Yeah, well what do you think the restless vagina syndrome needs?
	It needs a little pumping up, baby.
	Are you suffering from restless vagina syndrome?
	You can buy it in gas stations.
	With Lexifem in your arsenal, you'll never suffer again.
	Oh, this is one of those phony things like those male enhancement things.
	It's just a bunch of herbs thrown together.
	This is not from a drug company.
	Look at Lexifem.
	Look at Lexifem.
	L-E-X-I-F-E-M dot com.
	Lexafem.
	There it is.
	Look, here it is.
	The Journal of American Medical Association reported...
	I didn't get anything.
	I got Comcast.
	Lexafem.com.
	L-E-X-A-F-E-M. How do you spell it?
	L-E-X-A-F-E-M. Lexafem.
	Testimonials.
	Ordered the Lexafem and were used for the first time.
	This is not by a drug company.
	This looks like a porn site.
	But look at what they're claiming.
	Look at all of these FDA... Here.
	Common questions, I think it is.
	This is like the male enhancement crap.
	This is just the beginning, John.
	This is just the beginning.
	The AMA and FDA are getting into this.
	So right now it's got the horny goat weed...
	Wow.
	Increased desire, improved energy levels, more intense orgasms.
	Yeah, where's the contraindications if this is any sort of drug at all?
	It's not even on here.
	This is bull.
	This is just a crappy herbal nothing.
	It's the start.
	Look, I've got the...
	I want to see this Journal of American Medical Association.
	Good.
	John, after the show is uploaded, go to noagendashow.com and you can see the American Medical Association's article about FSD. These guys are just starting out.
	This is how it works.
	They start out and they model the stuff out with some crackpot remedy and then they come out with a real drug.
	Like Viagra.
	We need Viagra?
	How about getting a hotter wife or a girlfriend?
	That's the problem.
	Look at the commercial.
	They're all ugly and unhappy women.
	No wonder these guys can't get it up.
	All right, Al Gore was on Gitmo Nation East Television on Tuesday with one of my favorite journalists, Jeremy Paxman, who I know you're familiar with, John.
	The guy's fantastic.
	Yes, I actually do admire him.
	Yeah, because he gets in people's face.
	He kind of has our formula.
	And he had former Vice President Al Gore, who, by the way, I think he's just released his new book, hasn't he?
	What a coincidence!
	Really?
	And do you think it coincides at all with the Copenhagen Conference, which is coming up the beginning of December?
	So, Jeremy gets in his face, and I don't have video, I only have the audio, and actually one of our producers, Robert Wright from Gitman Nation East, actually pulled the clips for us, which I highly appreciate.
	He gave me a rundown with the clips because he just couldn't believe some of the stuff that was happening.
	And, of course, it's important to spread the media assassination worldwide through our little show here.
	We will have a link to the actual video because I have it right in front of me, and I'll send it to you right now.
	Good.
	So there's no real setup for the first clip other than this is really Gore's intent and his mission right now and what he's telling people we need to do.
	We're predisposed to short-term thinking because our ancestors survived challenges that we are prone to immediately respond to, and yet we also have the capability to form values based on self-interest and our duty to the next generation and then stick to them.
	The great cathedrals were built by multiple generations, staying on task for many decades.
	We now have to build a kind of metaphorical green cathedral There it is.
	The Metaphorical Green Cathedral.
	Wow.
	Yeah, and actually his book...
	What a crock.
	I can't wait to read this book, and you know I will.
	If I can get through Atlas Shrugged, I can read anything.
	I also can't wait to avoid this book.
	No, I'm going to read it.
	Good.
	Somebody's going to read it.
	It's going to be you.
	Let me tell you what's in this book.
	I think it's like...
	Yes, of course it's crap.
	But we can't slam it if we don't read it.
	Oh, yeah.
	I need some money to buy the book.
	I can just be bigoted.
	Okay, in his latest book, Our Choice, A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis, the man who won the Nobel Prize in 2007 for his touring slideshow on disappearing polar ice and other consequences of climate change concludes simply laying out the facts won't work.
	So what he's done is a training program.
	He has a Christian-based training program, a Muslim training program, and a Jewish program, and also a Hindu program that he's still working on.
	What about the Rosicrucians?
	How do they leave them out?
	Well, no service for them.
	He's trained 200 Christian ministers and lay leaders in Nashville To help people teach, I guess, how to set up the green religion and the green religion cathedral.
	So this is the new thing.
	He's trying to play it through the religious, which is interesting.
	So then, of course, Jeremy Paxman lays into Gore's own behavior of, you know, like, hey, dude, are you smoking your own dope here because, you know, you've got...
	How big is that house?
	25,000 square feet completely lit up all the time.
	He's got 18 monitors on 24 hours a day hooked up to his Mac.
	You suggest that tackling this problem will involve huge changes in human behavior.
	How have you changed your behavior?
	Well, first of all, we have changed out our light bulbs and windows and dug geothermal wells and covered our roof with solar panels and switched to hybrid cars and I'm walking the walk.
	That is so much bullshit because I've seen him and his posse parked outside an office on Sand Hill Road.
	He's got an SUV. It's not a hybrid.
	It's an SUV and he's got two troopers, two state trooper cars there.
	That's crap, that's a lie.
	Yeah, he's a liar.
	Yeah.
	I'm not just talking the talk.
	I'm just bullshitting the talk.
	You remember the embarrassment in 2006 when it was shown that you had a combined natural gas and electricity bill of $30,000 a year?
	What is it now?
	Well, our natural gas bill has been virtually completely eliminated.
	Because now we're just burning little children.
	All of our electricity then and now comes from renewable sources.
	So, as I say, I've long since committed to this path and am proud to have done so.
	Yeah, but what is your bill now, Al?
	That was the question.
	So, of course, he doesn't answer that.
	Then, of course, the all-important question.
	Paxman could have said, well, okay, so then what is your bill now?
	Yeah, well, Paxman, he's still a shill, even though we like him.
	Then Paxman asked the question that is on everyone's mind is, hey man, you're promoting all this stuff, but aren't you benefiting from it at the same time?
	There is one other element in your advocacy here that people are slightly concerned about, Mr.
	Gore.
	It is this.
	It is that you advocate new technologies to deal with this problem of carbon emissions, while at the same time investing in those technologies yourself.
	The suggestion is, there are really mixed motives here.
	Well, I've advocated these policies for more than 30 years.
	Do you recall that actually, John?
	I thought it was all about, him and Tipper were all about labeling rap CDs.
	I don't recall him talking about green stuff 20, 30 years ago.
	Do you?
	He had an early book out around the time that he was running for president when he was pushed aside by Clinton and became vice president around 1990, which would be...
	Yeah, but that was 10 years ago.
	No, that would be 20 years ago.
	I'm sorry, you're right.
	He said 30 years ago, which would put it back to 1980.
	I don't know.
	I mean, it's possible.
	But it hasn't been like center stage is kind of what he's implying there.
	No, I mean, it's mostly been environmentalism, too.
	He only got into this carbon kick recently.
	A lot of people believe it's possibly somewhere along the line when he became bitter over losing the presidency and he's decided to just exploit the system.
	He's essentially modeling this after a certain cap-and-trade process What's SO2? Sulfur dioxide.
	This is during the last great scare that was going to ruin everything.
	Oh, it was sulfur dioxide.
	That was going to kill us all.
	How did we solve that?
	I'm so happy we fixed that.
	What did we do exactly to stop sulfur?
	We didn't really do that much that we weren't doing already.
	But they did a cap-and-trade thing to incentivize people to scrub the sulfur dioxide out of it.
	But, of course, we didn't have the really good high-trading systems.
	It wasn't simple to put up a new NASDAQ. No, no.
	Now it's a lot different.
	Now it's easy.
	You just throw together a stock exchange.
	And that's essentially to get people to put scrubbers on their damn smokestacks, which is not a big deal.
	And it takes all the sulfur dioxide out.
	And you actually can probably process that and make sulfuric acid out of it, if I think.
	I don't know what they did with it.
	Or neutralize it, I suppose.
	But anyway, whatever the case was, it incentivized people to scrub the gases coming out of the stacks, and that was the end of the sulfur dioxide problem.
	And that was a good thing, but you can't do that with CO2. You can't scrub it.
	You can't get it out and, you know...
	Well, we can do our own version of cap and trade, whereas you shut up for 10 minutes and I get to breathe out.
	That would work.
	And we'd make that a market.
	Yeah.
	I think a lot of people would give us a lot of money for that.
	Yeah, if we shut up.
	Yeah.
	That's a good one.
	The other thing, of course, you have another clip?
	Yeah, I got one more.
	Okay, now we have to mention Gore's kind of promoting vegetarianism.
	Well, that's my last clip, obviously.
	So if you just give me one second, I'll finish up with his mixed motives.
	These policies for more than 30 years, and while the majority of my business activity in the last nine years since I left public service has not been in that area, Of course I invest in ways that are consistent with my values and beliefs.
	Were I not to, I would be criticized as a hypocrite.
	I'm proud to do so, and I encourage everyone to do the same.
	Thank you very much.
	Very, very slick.
	Okay, here's his vegetarianism.
	Have you become a vegetarian?
	No, I have not, although for health reasons along with climate reasons have reduced the amount of meat in my diet.
	Looking at the guy, you know...
	I don't think he's reduced his intake of meat.
	It looks like he ate himself.
	He's huge.
	He's absolutely huge.
	You know what?
	He eats at Umbria all the time, which is right down the street.
	He does?
	Yeah.
	I think the owner was the school buddy of his or something.
	Yeah, you'll see his non-hybrid SUV sitting out there all the time with the patrol car.
	When he's there next, I'm going to walk in and see what he's eating.
	I'll bet you, and that's an Italian place, an outstanding Italian restaurant.
	I bet you it's not going to be just pure fruit cheese.
	I've reduced the amount of meat in my diet, and of course, as we all know, it's much healthier to have more vegetables and fruits instead of meat.
	And actually, the growing meat intensity of diets around the world is a legitimate issue where climate is concerned.
	We all should become vegetarian, shouldn't we?
	We should all become vegetarians if we're concerned about the planet.
	Well, I don't plan to.
	I respect those who do, but it's a personal choice and will remain so.
	Nice.
	Well, there's a vegetarian agenda behind all this because the cow is farting.
	Yes.
	So please do keep your eye on COP15. That's the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, which is coming up on December 7th through December 18th.
	This is where many are claiming our sovereignty will be signed away by President Obama as we basically sign up for this huge deal.
	Where we'll be giving away trillions, eventually trillions, but initially billions of dollars to developing nations so that they can actually...
	It all has to do with CO2. Pollute the earth.
	Pollute the earth.
	Yeah, that's exactly it.
	Meanwhile, Gore refuses to show up to debate the issues once again, as the Wall Street Journal reports.
	The Wall Street Journal's economics conference in Santa Barbara, he was scheduled to appear with our buddy, our newly minted Gitmo Nation resident, Václav Klaus, the president of the Czech Republic who just completed the Lisbon Treaty deal.
	But of course, he's a noted skeptic on global warming.
	But Mr.
	Gore changed his schedule.
	He couldn't appear, unfortunately.
	Oh, gee.
	Because he's got so many things to do.
	He's so incredibly busy.
	He has to polish these Nobel Prize awards.
	It's getting tarnished.
	He's polishing his knob.
	He's getting oxidized.
	A lot of people send me this clip just to show you how it works, how the debate moves into the popular culture.
	You know what, screw it, I'm not going to do that.
	I want to ask people out there to do us a favor.
	We have a lot of litany on this show of certain things that we've kind of, over time, kind of agreed to agree upon.
	You know, there's things that we don't agree upon, like flying saucers and greys and things like that.
	But there are certain things we do agree upon.
	And I would like somebody to put down a litany of the kind of the base beliefs of the show and the listeners and so far as, you know, essentially most of it has to do with the media being full of crap and the government being corrupt.
	Why would you want that, John?
	I wanted because I'm working on, I would like It's a new book.
	So people can at least have a clue about what we're about.
	I'm not sure that we can deconstruct it ourselves.
	I think there's probably a couple of listeners out there who can give us a list.
	Would I just see a list?
	I got it for you.
	You don't need it.
	John, you don't need it.
	It's very simple.
	It's very, very simple.
	Screw the government.
	Global warming is bullshit.
	Now pass me the steak and good wine.
	That's our proclamation right there.
	So, anyway, I'd like to see a list, personally, of what you think we're saying.
	Because I also want to see what people are hearing, because I'm not absolutely sure.
	I mean, I'm interested in that.
	I want to thank Universal, and HasBeen, and Boss, a bunch of guys who were in the No Agenda chat room early this morning at NoAgendaChat.com.
	Hillary Clinton...
	Made quite an extraordinary statement in Pakistan.
	What is it?
	Lahore.
	I think it's Lahore.
	Lahore.
	I'm sorry.
	Lahore.
	Lahore.
	Pakistan.
	Lahore and Lahore.
	Lahore, Pakistan.
	And I wanted to get a soundbite of it, but apparently she only said it behind closed doors to some reporters who...
	There were no cameras or recording devices.
	Is this the one where she said that they're not doing enough about Al-Qaeda?
	No, it's a little bit better than that.
	But what was interesting is one of the guys in the chat room actually found it on Hillary Clinton's own website at state.gov slash secretary.
	So here she is speaking at the roundtable with business leaders.
	So I can't do the Hillary voice.
	But here's the quote that's the most interesting.
	So at some point, when you ask for partnership, you have to ask what the equity state is that Pakistan itself is looking to make because it's difficult to go to our taxpayers and say, we consider Pakistan a strategic partner.
	We consider it a long-term friend and ally.
	We have supported it since its inception in 1947.
	We want to continue to do so and have our taxpayers and our members of Congress say, well...
	We want to help those who help themselves, and we tax everything that moves and doesn't move, and that's not what we see happening in Pakistan.
	So the way I read this is she's actually saying, hey, in the States, we tax everything that moves and doesn't move.
	But they're not doing that in Pakistan, so that's bad.
	Yeah, but it's bad that they're doing it here.
	That's an admission that we're taxing everything.
	That's what we've been saying all along.
	The United States also likes to go along with, well, you know, we're going to have lower taxes than any other country, especially those crazy Europeans.
	They tax everything.
	And yeah, they do tax everything, but they tax it differently.
	Our taxes are mostly sneak taxes.
	They're done on the side.
	Yeah.
	And it turns out we got about 70% tax rate here.
	And then finally...
	I'm sorry, when I fly, you get in an airplane, you're taxed for this.
	The number of taxes, go stay in a hotel room.
	Holy crap, the taxes are...
	There's the state taxes, the city taxes, the room taxes, the bed sheet taxes, the water taxes.
	There's a porn tax.
	There's taxes on everything.
	It's an outrage, I tell you.
	And then finally, for me, the Science Museum in the United Kingdom is quite a respectable museum.
	John, I'm sure you've been there.
	Yep, and apparently now they've gone green.
	They've not only gone green, they've gone climate change.
	And they've got the science behind it.
	And you can be a part of Prove It now, courtesy of thesciencemuseum.org.uk.
	Prove it that climate change exists and it's man-made.
	And you can actually participate...
	By saying, well, you can agree to the following statement.
	I've seen the evidence, and I want the government to prove they're serious about climate change by negotiating a strong, effective, fair deal at Copenhagen.
	And then you could either hit...
	Wait, so what you're telling me is the museum has become, instead of being a museum to educate people, but it's become an advocacy group.
	Correct.
	And even the Prove It logo is green.
	And they have a little badge.
	All the evidence you need to...
	How do people...
	To believe in climate change.
	How do these creeps infiltrate organizations?
	Because you know there's some creep that's infiltrated the organization.
	And changed the museum from being just a...
	A fucking museum.
	A museum, yeah.
	Which is cool stuff to look at into an entire climate change organization.
	But here's the kicker.
	So you can either click on count me in or count me out.
	And so you go to a form where you can fill in your name and your email address.
	And it says here, to be counted in, just tell us who you are.
	We'll pass the results on to the government to let them know where you stand.
	Good, guys.
	Could I recommend you not do that?
	Interesting to note that so far, 1,825 people have said, count me in, I agree with the evidence.
	6,428 have said, count me out, I don't agree with it.
	Oops.
	Yeah.
	That's kind of funny.
	I like that.
	That's cool.
	But man, just give us your email address and even if you don't agree, we'll let the government know.
	Don't worry.
	And nothing to worry about.
	Nothing at all to worry about.
	I might as well add this then.
	There's a lot of good UK news.
	Of course, the UK is a beta test for what's coming in the United States, so it's good to look at it.
	The police have now created a database.
	Of course, they create databases every minute over there.
	That way they can lose them in the subway.
	Well, here's...
	Yeah.
	Oops, I lost the memory stick.
	This will be to log domestic extremists.
	And this is a great...
	This is a new word.
	This is a new phrase.
	Domestic extremists.
	So, the Guardian...
	It has revealed that there's now a new police unit, a Gitmo Nation unit, called the National Public Order Intelligence Unit, or OPOYU, and it will be running a central database which lists thousands of so-called domestic extremists.
	It will track vehicles associated with protesters through their nationwide system of automatic number plate recognition cameras, better known as ANPR. Police surveillance units known as forward intelligence teams, FIT, and evidence gatherers will record footage and take photographs of campaigners as they enter and leave openly advertised public meetings.
	So if you basically go and protest, which is a basic right, even in the UK it's still a right as long as you get a license, then you can protest.
	They're going to write you up.
	They'll have spotter cards so they can identify faces of targeted individuals.
	I mean, this is getting pretty nasty.
	Yeah, well, hey, welcome to Guy Fawkes Day.
	Yes.
	And over here in the United States, and John, this is really important for you and I, the Philadelphia office of the FBI has instructed tattoo shops to To keep an eye on their customers.
	And they've handed out a little list, and there's a copy of this list in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	And you should call the FBI if you have customers who come into your tattoo shop who, A, provide identification that is inconsistent or suspect or demands identity privacy, B. Insists on paying with cash.
	G. I never heard of such a thing at a tattoo shop.
	C. Significantly alters appearance from visit to visit, such as shaving beard, changing hair color, or style of dress, etc.
	Half the people that go into tattoo parlors do that.
	Here's my favorite.
	If you have customers who come in who have missing hand or fingers, chemical burns, strange odors, or bright colored stains on clothing, you should report them.
	Well, they're looking for meth guys.
	They're looking for Rahm Emanuel is who they're looking for.
	If someone makes racist or extreme religious statements coupled with comments that are violent or appear to condone violence, or makes suspicious comments regarding anti-U.S. radical theology, vague or cryptic warnings that suggest or appear to endorse the use of violence in support of a cause...
	If they make repeated returns with multiple individuals requesting identical tattoos...
	Honey, there goes our his and her hearts.
	We can't do that anymore.
	If they request a tattoo and state intent is to target specific group or individual or inquire about unusual methods of tattooing or placement of tattoos which could allow the concealment of extremist symbols...
	This is what your FBI is doing.
	Sending out memos to tattoo parlors.
	I'm sure that's doing a lot of good.
	Can you imagine these tattoo parlors probably post them and laugh at them?
	Well, that's exactly what happened.
	Posted and we're laughing.
	Well, does anyone have it?
	Is that a copy or is that just a rundown?
	No, it's an actual scan.
	Oh, that's cool.
	FBI Federal Bureau of Investigation.
	I think it would be cool to have an original of that thing.
	We could probably get it.
	It's the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the Philadelphia Division of the FBI. It's in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	Well, essentially what it does, unfortunately, I think the FBI makes a mistake here, is it deconstructs the FBI's own policies insofar as what they look for regarding suspicious people.
	Yes.
	So this is probably not really, this is like, you know, here's our memo, this is what we're looking for.
	This is not, I don't think this was a smart idea.
	They should keep it to themselves.
	And so then finally, just a personal experience actually from my daughter who was back in the UK. She'll be coming back out over to Gitmo Nation West in January.
	She was on the train.
	This is just to show you how bad it's getting over there.
	She was on the train and she'd forgotten her purse or her wallet and she did have with her her mother's ATM card.
	Which, you know, she bought her ticket with.
	And she bought a young person's ticket because she's under 21 or whatever the age is.
	But she didn't have her ID. And so the conductor comes by and he says, Hey, kid, show me how old you are.
	Show me some ID. And she's like, well, I'm sorry, I don't own my wallet with me, so you just have to take me on my word.
	Well, I can't believe you have to pay eight pound fine!
	And she's like, okay, and she hands her mother's ATM card, which has the same last name.
	And he says, well, is this your name?
	No, it's my mom's card.
	Well, that's not your card.
	I'll have to destroy the card.
	What?
	This is a train conductor.
	I'll have to confiscate it and destroy the card.
	And these guys have a quasi-uniform on, and she's getting upset.
	She's like, well, hold on a second.
	You can't do that.
	And the guy's like, no, I'm going to have to destroy the card unless you can pay in cash.
	But I have the PIN number, everything.
	No, I have to destroy the card.
	And finally, some really nice lady next to her said, you know, she stood up and said, I can't listen to this crap anymore.
	And she paid the eight pounds cash, which was a beautiful thing to do.
	But this is what happens.
	You get into this Gitmo vibe.
	And, dude, I wish I was there.
	I would have decked this motherfucker.
	Yeah, you'd probably be in Gitmo, literally.
	So people out there should read.
	There's two books that are interesting because it kind of discusses this sort of thing.
	One is Mein Kampf, yes?
	One is the classic Life and Death in Shanghai, which I think was banned by the communist regime.
	But Life and Death in Shanghai, I can get you the author's name.
	And the other one is It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, a classic that actually took Sinclair Lewis from being a favorite of the intelligentsia to being more or less disliked because he created a world where this sort of thing...
	So these two books, Sinclair Lewis's It Can't Happen Here and Life and Death in Shanghai, which has got a female's name.
	I can't think of it.
	I can go get the book and read it off later.
	Okay, so I'm going to go read It Can't Happen Here because you have mentioned that before that I should read that.
	I will also pick up a copy of Our Choice, A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis by Al Gore, and I shall report back so that you don't have to read it.
	Does that sound fair?
	Yeah.
	And most of this, by the way, it comes from these very petty people, like this conductor, these people who are given a little authority.
	They should have never been given, ever, because they haven't got the brain power to think for themselves.
	And they abuse the authority, and that's pretty much the theme and message of It Can't Happen Here and Life and Death in Shanghai.
	And, of course, Al Gore's book has a whole different theme.
	Yeah, it's an abuse of power, too, if you think about it.
	So, we'll be back here again on Sunday, the Church of No Agenda, at 9 o'clock, Gitmo Nation West time, coming to you from the Minimum Security Containment Cell, which houses the Crackpot Command Center.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from, and don't forget, dvorak.org slash na and noagendashow.com to help us out with some donations.
	And I'm here in northern Silicon Valley, where it looks like it will be raining in the next day or two.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back again on Sunday, right here on No Agenda.
