	Have you ever done heroin, John?
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's November 26, 2009.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 151.
	This is no agenda.
	Happy Thanksgiving Day, everybody.
	Enjoy your shopping experience.
	Coming to you from the Minimum Security Containment Cell Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West, San Francisco, California, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the weather is again awfully nice, especially for a Thanksgiving in November, I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	Sorry, I fumbled that myself.
	Wasn't too professional.
	That's okay.
	Nobody cares.
	I do.
	I'll listen to the beginning of the show going, crap, crap, crap, I could have done that better.
	I'm very critical.
	Yeah, we're a little late.
	We're a little late.
	I think you should explain to the audience with the appropriate apologies.
	Oh, actually, why should you be apologizing?
	It's not your fault.
	Yeah, I shouldn't.
	It's not my fault, no.
	So I fire everything up.
	You know, I'm jacked down deep into the system on my MacBook Pro, working with a program called JackPilot so I can actually reroute streams of audio.
	And that's not like a stream you get on your...
	like a shoutcast stream, but it's actual streams within the guts of the system.
	And Apple has this audio setup called Core Audio, which is...
	I mean, it's fantastic because professional musicians use this a lot for exactly this type of functionality.
	They've got...
	Go into any studio these days, you'll see that there's a Mac running a lot of the basics of the system.
	And it's like everything was misconfigured.
	There was alerts popping up.
	Because you have to...
	You know, I have a configuration.
	I hit OK, route it, basically.
	And it sets everything up.
	And it was like borking all over the place.
	And of course...
	I knew immediately that the system update that I'd received from Apple, which I waited three weeks on, and I'm very good about this.
	When the new system update comes out, I never install it immediately.
	I wait.
	I look around.
	I see if there's any problems.
	I always read the expanded changelog.
	Nothing about core audio whatsoever in the changelog, so last night I'm like, okay, might as well go.
	I'll install it.
	And I knew immediately this was the problem.
	And I guess they replaced their audio drivers deep within Core Audio, so I had to go and set everything up again.
	But, you know, this is like a Thursday morning.
	It's 8.30.
	I'm freaking out here because I know the show's coming up.
	And it took some investigative work under the gun, but I got it done.
	And I'll say something.
	That the reason why Apple has to mess with so much of their core audio and all of their lower level stuff is because of DRM and copyright.
	And I know this because Steve Jobs told me so himself.
	So when you hear this, you know that Rogue Amoeba company that Leo keeps harping on as they left the iPhone development platform, you know why that is?
	Why?
	Because these are the guys that get screwed by this whole DRM thing.
	It's about the hijacking of the audio at higher sample rates that Apple made a deal with the industry not to do that.
	Because, you know, you can basically steal songs that way.
	And they make a product called Audio Hijack Pro and another product called, I think, Airfoil, which lets you stream audio, you know, to your airport extreme or whatever.
	So the only reason this is happening is because they, you know, at the end of the day, Apple did sell their soul to the music industry.
	Well, okay.
	So there were some changes going on.
	Pisses me off.
	Yeah, well, I don't blame you.
	The question that comes to my mind is why don't you do the update after the show is over?
	Yeah, I did it.
	I did it after the last show.
	I did it after the last show and before this show.
	What are you talking about?
	Well, I mean, like, you know, not the day before the show, so we're late and you're complaining and you're in a nasty mood.
	You're not your normal crackpot self.
	I am my normal crackpot self, John, and I'm going to prove it to you by playing a nice little song for you.
	Come on, everybody, sing along.
	The words are easy.
	Follow the bouncing ball.
	Making up data the old hard way Fudging the numbers day by day Ignoring the snow and the cold in a downward line Here it comes!
	Hide the decline.
	This is a new YouTube video.
	Hide the decline.
	I love it when everyone gets into the game on Climategate.
	So, Climategate.
	You know, the thing is, so they had a...
	I was watching the NewsHour brought to you by Monsanto and others.
	Yes, of course.
	And by the way, they have that same spiel, all these...
	They have all these same commercials at the beginning of the show that they do at the end, which I find interesting.
	But anyway, so they spent, I timed it out at something, just a little over 16 minutes at the beginning of the last show.
	I think this was the one maybe yesterday or the day before.
	16 minutes out of the hour, which is over...
	Wait, 16 minutes?
	Is there underwriters and sponsors?
	No, no, no.
	You didn't let me finish the sentence.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	16 minutes of the...
	No, there's a couple minutes on both ends on that, but it's not 16 minutes.
	16 minutes on the climate change on the Copenhagen thing.
	But not on the...
	16 minutes.
	Is there any other news out there?
	But not on Climategate.
	There's a thing...
	Oh, well, here's another thing.
	16 minutes, and they never once brought up those memos.
	No.
	Of course not.
	It wasn't about that.
	It was all assumed.
	The 16 minutes was devoted to the fact that Obama made these promises that he's going to cut emissions by 85% by 2050 or something like that.
	As if he's going to have any say in it.
	But I got a couple of clips because obviously in the background was lurking the...
	These memos, the leaked memos from...
	Let's just restate for people who are just joining the show because it is a very important...
	Something very important happened here.
	This is, in essence, a smoking gun because...
	These e-mails, thousands of e-mails, computer code, lots of really incriminating evidence, and it's been admitted that these are their e-mails indeed.
	It's incriminating evidence that one of the most important centers for the data that is supposedly proven, the science is in, it's all clear according to Algeria.
	And everyone agrees.
	Everyone agrees.
	All scientists in the world agree.
	For the first time in the world?
	I'm in history.
	All scientists agree.
	All scientists agree.
	Yeah, except for the 30,000 who don't agree.
	But okay, the IPCC, which is a part of the United Nations, they all agree that there is man-made global warming.
	Now, of course, they already knew that it wasn't actually warming, so they kind of changed that to climate change, which obviously happens all the time.
	The climate just changed in the past week here in San Francisco as we move into winter.
	So, of course, climate change.
	But then the whole reason for this is to introduce cap-and-trade legislation, which basically is a tax based upon CO2 creation, And we're doing that right now, John.
	We are creating CO2 by...
	As we exhale.
	Yes, opening our pie holes.
	And he'll take that one step further to Copenhagen.
	And actually, I didn't play the audio of that last week.
	I should look that up for you.
	The new president of the European Union is actually saying, hey, this is great because now Copenhagen and we have this cap and trade popping up everywhere.
	This is one more step closer to global government.
	And now if you're all for it, then you're probably jumping up and down and you're, yay, I'm happy!
	Global government, we're all saved!
	But I don't think we believe too much in that.
	So that's pretty much...
	That's not bad.
	That was a good rundown.
	And this, of course, is huge, not just for the rundown that I explained, but the fact that scientists are actually manipulating data, deleting data.
	And, you know, when you read personal emails, it's always going to seem a little more inflammatory, perhaps, than when it was written.
	But some of this stuff is just clear.
	I'd say the science is clear.
	These guys were hiding it.
	They were hiding the decline.
	Hiding the decline in temperature.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Back to your side.
	So I know that, you know, even though they've spent 16 minutes on the topic, and mostly, just to give you the typical rundown, is that Obama's stepping forward with his great idea, but even though he says it's going to probably be a year before they can approve a real treaty, meanwhile the Indians and the Chinese have both said, oh, that's great, we think the United States should do this, or as the Indian guy was saying, and I think I have a clip of this, the Indian guy was saying, maybe the United States should do even more.
	Stop all emissions and just go out of business.
	Yeah.
	Turn off your engines!
	And the Chinese are kind of saying, you know, this is not our problem.
	We didn't start this.
	We don't have nothing to do with it.
	Even though we now are producing more CO2 and various greenhouse gases, as they're called, than anybody.
	But screw it, because we have nothing to do with it, so you guys can stuff it.
	And, you know, once you straighten out your problem, then maybe we'll do something.
	I mean, in other words, they're just telling us to go pound salt with a smile on their face, by the way.
	I'm sorry.
	Of course, we're just still, well, guilt-ridden liberals have to say, oh, God.
	We should stop producing and send all our money to poor people.
	So anyway, so meanwhile, you know that they were having meetings going, and of course they didn't bring these memos up at all in the packages that were done on the news hour at all.
	I think somebody mentioned it in passing when they were interviewing someone.
	But it essentially wasn't part of the package.
	But you know that they know about it, but they don't know what to do about it.
	We can't report this, this will screw everything up.
	Well, what they're waiting for, they're clearly waiting for someone to come up with the meme, for the meme to catch on, that they can all jump on.
	I've heard a couple people try, oh, well, we don't know if the documents are real, even though we know they're real.
	No, that doesn't work.
	Okay, so here's what I'm thinking.
	They had a meeting, you know, the PR people.
	How are we going to do?
	This is terrible.
	We have to kind of change the basis for the discussion.
	So I'm thinking, well, how are you going to change the basis for the discussion?
	I've got it.
	Look, there's a decline in global, people believing in global warming, but if you really start looking at the numbers, people really do want health care.
	They really do.
	They want it.
	Look at all the numbers.
	So how can we twist this?
	Okay.
	I've got it.
	Play the Lancet.
	Okay.
	Lancet on the way.
	A series of studies released today in the British medical journal The Lancet could give another boost to advocates of addressing climate change.
	The studies found that cutting carbon emissions could save millions of lives, mostly by reducing the number of deaths from heart and lung diseases.
	Climate change is not only about economics, and it's not only about the environment.
	It's about killing people.
	It's about your health.
	Linda Birnbaum is director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at NIH, which helped finance the studies.
	Really?
	You don't say.
	No, wait.
	Before you play the rest of it, I want people to pay attention to what this woman has to say.
	You know, if we're going to talk about the basis for the climate change argument or the global warming argument, it's CO2. But she all of a sudden brings into play essentially soot and other normal pollutants that have already been taken care of for the most part.
	Yeah, by cleaning up our chimneys and catalysts and all kinds of things.
	Listen to her discussion about how it's so important for this climate change action to take place.
	And she never mentions CO2 once, because you can't mention CO2. It's a natural thing that's in the air.
	You eliminate all CO2, then we just kill every plant in the world.
	So I'm already on this with you, John.
	So they're going to shift away from the actual global warming and the horrible – and by the way, I have a BBC report that came out just two days ago after all of this has been out.
	They're still saying floods and mudslides and devastation all from global warming.
	So they're going to move away from that and going to say, well, it's basically CO2 is toxic.
	We have to stop all pollution.
	Of course, they can't mention the CO2 in the argument.
	So listen to this woman who's the spokesperson for the people who funded the study that the Lancet ran.
	As we avoid increases in ozone, we avoid more hospital visits, we avoid more doctor's visits, and we actually avoid deaths.
	We know that, for example, that black carbon, which settles out very, very quickly and we can have immediate benefit, affects people's health.
	What is black carbon, John?
	Soot!
	It's soot, for God's sake.
	Black carbon.
	It's got nothing to do with any of this.
	It's a great name.
	What's ozone?
	What, a CO2 now making ozone somehow?
	Now they're just throwing all the buzzwords in they can.
	It's just like, ozone layer.
	Oh yeah, ozone.
	Black carbon.
	Black carbon.
	Hello, soot.
	Call it what it is.
	How about acid rain?
	Bring that one back.
	That worked for a while, too.
	They're not going to do that.
	Alright, here we go.
	We know that things like methane, which are produced from a variety of sources, have major impacts on our health and our well-being.
	And again, by preventing them, we can prevent cardiovascular disease, we can prevent respiratory disease, we can prevent certain cancers, we can prevent certain obesity.
	Despite such reports, a new poll found the percentage of Americans who believe in global warming Right, that's it.
	All the more difficult.
	I'm buying into it, John.
	That's a very good way for them to go.
	But I think that they will come back to the CO2 because all these documents have all been about the temperatures.
	So I think what's going to happen now is, well, look.
	Hear me now.
	Believe me later.
	The science is in.
	CO2 levels are rising.
	That's undeniable, of course, except for the deniers.
	Denialists.
	Yes, and this is killing us.
	And I do believe it's going to still be about CO2 reduction because you're probably right.
	It kills people.
	CO2 kills people.
	Yeah, if you put a plastic bag over your head and you only breathe CO2, yeah, it will kill you.
	By the way, it's what plants need to breathe.
	Didn't we have this in third grade?
	We exhale CO2. Plants go through a process called...
	Photosynthesis, I believe.
	Photosynthesis, and then they pump out oxygen, which we breathe.
	It's a beautiful system, the way the good Lord intended it to be.
	Yeah, but those plants, they won't get involved in the cap-and-trade with us.
	The dead blasted plants.
	The whole thing is about cap-and-trade, so you can set up a scam market...
	So you can trade credits and make money, and make money on the come.
	In other words, or take the commission.
	You can make more money doing that.
	Or you can make tons of money if you own the exchange.
	I think Al Gore's got a piece of one of them.
	Oh, yeah.
	And the whole thing is obviously a money grab, and it's got nothing to do with anything.
	I mean, soot is bad, I agree, but it's got nothing to do with anything.
	So Christopher...
	Viscount Christopher Monckton, who is actually a huge greenie, is now...
	I don't even think he eats meat.
	The guy's a total greenie.
	He is now saying that these...
	Scientists are criminals.
	There's calls for resignation of one of the top scientists.
	It's really, you know, there is some noise, but the big lamestream media are just, you know, shutting up about it.
	The BBC, actually, the top meteorologist, I think the weather guy, actually...
	Paul Hudson.
	He's the weather guy over at the BBC. He's a young guy.
	I think he's kind of switched on.
	He had these emails from the 12th of October they were sent to him and he sat on them.
	He did nothing with them.
	He had them for over a month.
	Wow.
	And now he's just saying, oh, well, you know, I'll probably blog about them.
	Literally, I have the link in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	What a bonad.
	I'll blog about it.
	He literally says, the leaked files would show 4,000 documents.
	Where was it?
	I can't.
	I wanted to read that quote.
	quote it was pretty funny oh well It's in there somewhere.
	He says, I'm going to blog about it.
	Stupid Paul Hudson.
	The BBC, meanwhile, in the midst of this whole ClimateGate extravaganza, published the following report, and this is from Tuesday.
	Three UK groups studying climate change have issued a strong statement about the dangers of failing to cut emissions of greenhouse gases, The Royal Society, the Met Office, and Natural Environment Research Council, better known as NERC, say the science of climate change is more alarming than ever!
	Yes, I read this.
	More alarming than ever!
	They're trying to make more noise than the other side, so they're just making this...
	Yeah, more alarming than ever, and the seas are going to raise six feet.
	Yeah.
	Oh, we're all going to die.
	By the way, that whole...
	That whole Hopenhagen, have you seen that?
	So we have Copenhagen, which of course is, and our president has now officially announced he will be attending.
	There's billboards and a website called hopenhagen.org.
	Yeah, I've heard of Copenhagen.
	I didn't follow up on it, though.
	Well, I did follow up on it, and I looked for it.
	Of course, whenever I see a website like this, which is basically, you know, we have hope, sign the petition, you know, it's all six billion of us, save the world, Copenhagen, if we can get a global agreement, it's all going to be awesome.
	Yeah.
	So who's behind this hope in Copenhagen?
	Who's the people that came up with it?
	Why is our president going to this meeting in Copenhagen?
	Why is anybody going?
	If you look at the people that are on the board there, it's all just a bunch of Greenpeace people.
	I mean, did they just throw a meeting and everyone shows up?
	Can we do that?
	Can we have some sort of crazy meeting and just have the president show up and then sign something?
	Yeah, John, we tried to do that in Vegas.
	We had three people sign up.
	We should have invited the president.
	We should have made it a green thing.
	We have no poll.
	So I do a Whois on Hopenhagen.org.
	Of course, it's registered to Ogilvy, New York, which is a huge ad agency.
	Wait, wait, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
	You did a whois on Hopenhagen, with all these people signing a petition, and you're telling me that the people who actually own and run the site is a PR agency?
	It's one of the largest in the world, yeah.
	The PR advertising agency.
	Yes, yes.
	Yeah, Ogilvy.
	Ogilvy, yeah, one of the largest in the world.
	They're huge.
	Yeah, but then go to our partners, Friends of Hopenhagen.
	Well, let's see, we have Coca-Cola...
	Oh, all their clients.
	Yes.
	SAP. Oh, so this thing is rigged.
	This is a scam.
	Yeah, of course it's a scam.
	This is an out-and-out scam.
	Does anybody ever do a who is on any of these sites or they just run with it?
	It's like Coca-Cola's in on it.
	Oh, and I tell you, I still do an old school command line who is.
	I can't help myself.
	Yeah, it's literally supporting partners.
	Thanks also to our supporting partners who have lent strong voices to the movement, BMW Group.
	If you look up the partners, it's a huge list.
	Well, give me a few more names.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, hold on.
	We see who...
	Okay.
	I wonder if the CEOs are even aware they're on this thing.
	Business Week.
	Oh, Business Week.
	There you go.
	Now we have a newspaper.
	Wait a minute.
	We have a publication that's supposed to be...
	Pandora?
	That's supposed to have some integrity and they're signing on to this thing like a little hook like a fish?
	Sure.
	Pandora?
	Scientific American, Seventeen Magazine.
	Wait a minute.
	That's another magazine.
	What?
	They shouldn't be listed there.
	What?
	Magazines are supposed to be giving people, like, you know, they're supposed to sift news for us.
	They're not supposed to join one side.
	Listen to this.
	Business India, Business Insider, Business Standard, Business Week.
	Oh, I can give you lots more than that.
	Euronews, Newsweek.
	Natural History, National Geographic, Mother Jones.
	I think you're right, it's just all their clients.
	McCann, World Group, Ketchum.
	So these are all the advertising agents.
	Oh, Huffington Post!
	Yay!
	Huffington Post!
	Very good.
	That's a good news.
	Gawker.
	New York Magazine.
	The Japan Times, the Green News Network.
	So we can expect nothing but objective reporting from all these people.
	Absolutely.
	Is that what you're saying?
	Yeah.
	Yahoo, Warner Brothers Digital Media.
	You know what this is, John?
	Agencies do this all the time.
	By the way, I love the image.
	You should really look at this site, the imaging.
	Here's a fine-looking kind of Asian young man looking up towards the sky.
	Which one?
	Is this Hopenomics, or what do you call it?
	Hopenhagen.org.
	Hey, sign the petition.
	It says, 11 days left to seal the deal.
	Seal the deal.
	We've got to seal the deal.
	Let me see what it says.
	This is the funniest shit.
	So anyway, what these agencies do from time to time, and it's always around Christmas, by the way, is they set it up and they email all of their clients and they get them all on board and, hey, we're going to save the world and join up.
	And then it's basically a big client stroke.
	Well, in this case, this is humiliating.
	Oh, jeez, this is horrible.
	This guy looking in the air looks like he's staring at the sun.
	Hey, buddy, you're going to go blind!
	I love...
	What is this picture?
	People, you have to go to hopenhagen.org and look at partners.
	And you'll see this idiot.
	And the whole thing's scratch.
	Oh, this is just ridiculous.
	Oh, check this out.
	Go to Copenhagen.
	The Huffington Post is sending a citizen journalist to COP15, which is a government website, as a Hopenhagen ambassador.
	That citizen journalist could be you.
	Upload your video entry before it's too late.
	The Huffington Post, don't ever read that again.
	Yeah, they're obviously taking sides on an issue they should be reporting on.
	Yeah, you can't trust those bastards.
	No, it's unbelievable.
	It's unbelievable to me that this continues to be, and it's so transparent.
	It's not like, I mean, I guess they're fooling somebody, but it's like, I mean, if anyone actually takes a look or thinks about it, they must realize that this is a scam.
	11 days to seal the deal.
	What deal?
	To save the world!
	Save the world!
	No, it says deal.
	What's a deal?
	I mean, what deal are they talking about?
	A deal is to save the world.
	And as all this is coming down, John, I'm thinking to myself, Al Gore absolutely deserved his Oscar.
	He just got it in the wrong category.
	He got it in the wrong category.
	It should have been science fiction instead of documentary.
	The guy totally deserves it.
	I didn't realize this guy was this smart.
	He probably would have been a good president.
	He would have scammed everybody.
	Unfortunately, he would have probably lined his pockets at the same time.
	Maybe he'd be more like Spiro Agnew.
	Whatever the case.
	This Hopenhagen site is...
	I'm disgusted.
	Totally disgusted.
	It's pretty bad.
	Ogilvy.
	I don't blame them.
	They're just paid to do a job.
	They're essentially mercenaries of a sort.
	And they do what they have to do.
	But these other people that sign on to this, they're the idiots.
	And I really wish I could take a lot of credit for all this investigative journalism I did, but it's like five letters.
	Who is?
	Yeah, we work our asses off typing in who is and finding all this stuff out instantly while the mainstream media and the rest of them are just lockstep into somebody else's story.
	Meanwhile, in Gitmo Nation Down Under, There's a lot going on, man, in Australia.
	And before we get into that, we must mention today's executive producer.
	Oh, our executive producer, yes.
	Who do we have and who are our AEPs?
	We only got one.
	We got the one executive producer and...
	By the way, and he is from Down Under.
	Lovely.
	We're still getting an awful lot of support from Australia, which I find interesting.
	But it's our old friend, the executive producer from number 149, Michael Menzies.
	Oh, Michael, yeah, sure.
	From Eltham, middle of nowhere, Australia, who gave us another $300.
	Oh, Michael, I love you, man.
	It's a good Thanksgiving.
	Knew he was going to be the executive producer and thought he'd be, you know, do it again.
	So he's the only executive producer we have this week, so he takes the whole thing.
	And I'm going to, I'm just going to bet when we talk about it later on that we didn't do too well, because of course everyone's too busy saving money for Black Friday.
	Black Friday, everybody!
	Hey, you know, one of our producers pointed out, and this was Chase Rozdilski, He says, I seem to remember a show about a year ago that you and John were going to make predictions for this year's Black Friday about how many people will be killed during the Black Friday fury.
	I would love to hear your predictions on the show today.
	Well, that's a very good question.
	How many people do you think will die during Black Friday this year, John?
	Well, of natural causes, there's going to be quite a few.
	But of people that are dying, I'm going to actually predict zero.
	Zero deaths.
	Ah, come on, man.
	I'm going to throw ten in there just because I think there might be one mall rush.
	There could be one H&M sale where some famous designer comes out.
	I think they're so freaked out about these people dying during these things that they're doing.
	They're opening the doors early.
	There's been training.
	There's been seminars.
	There's been all the things that American business does to prevent the bad publicity that results from somebody getting killed in your store trying to grab an Elmo or something.
	Or this year, apparently, a DVD player or Blu-ray.
	So let me just finish up the ClimateGate segment here, which we don't have a jingle for yet.
	So it's the Rudd government down there in Gitmo Nation down under.
	And so I love the story.
	The federal opposition will back the Rudd government's emissions trading scheme.
	So they're already a little bit further.
	That's why we have so many folks in Australia listening to us, because they're in the middle of it.
	We're still, you know...
	We're still trying to push stuff through to make this horrible tax happen.
	So they will back the emissions trading scheme after Liberal leader Malcolm Turnbull last night told climate change dissidents he was the boss.
	Quote, I'm the leader.
	I've made the call.
	Shut up and sit down, you bitches.
	I call the shots around here.
	I'm the big boss man.
	I am the decider.
	You are the denialist.
	You are dissidents.
	Dissidents, all of you, I tell you.
	I should take you out back and give you two to the head, bitches.
	Enough of your acting.
	I thought it was pretty good, actually.
	We need to get some bit parts for the both of us.
	Is anyone in Hollywood listening to this show?
	Yeah, really.
	I mean, I could use a bit part.
	That's what I'm looking for.
	So do you have the clip?
	You want to play something else?
	The clip that I have that discusses the Chinese and Indian...
	Yeah, the Chinese and Indian, sure.
	Does it need set up or just blow into it?
	There's a couple interesting points in there.
	Yeah, just run it.
	Global Efforts.
	But China's climate envoy said today the onus should be on developed countries like the U.S. What developed countries should do is to take serious action on whether they have been true in words and resolute in deeds in order to solve this problem which was caused by them.
	The original hope was that the conference would result in a new treaty to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which the U.S. ultimately did not sign.
	By the way, I was living in Gitmo Nation East in Europe during that whole Kyoto Protocol thing, and there was so much hate for America and George Bush at the time because, of course, America didn't care about the globe.
	America doesn't care.
	We're just horrible people.
	Well, there's also this point, the funny point, which is always overlooked in this, the fact that George Bush didn't pick up the ball.
	Just play the rest of that little segment.
	It now appears more likely the summit will produce only a framework for future action.
	Still, the news of the president's decision was welcomed by many.
	I must have picked it up.
	Stop.
	So the point is that Clinton's the one who actually had the protocol dropped in his lap.
	Yeah.
	And he just kind of sat on it.
	He was supposed to send it to the Senate, never did.
	You know, he did what Obama's going to do, I believe.
	I think George Bush actually got blamed for that.
	Yeah, and George Bush got blamed for it because, oh, Bush is a, you know, nobody likes him, and then Americans are all, they all suck, but Bush, of course, had to sit on the thing for eight years, and Clinton only had to sit on it for a couple years.
	You know, it's 97 protocol, 97, 98.
	I mean, he was out of office in 2000, so he was sitting on it for three years.
	Bush was sitting on it for eight, and Obama is pulling the same thing, I mean, which is good.
	The presidents do have to be, you know, cognizant of the fact that they'll sink the country if they sign off on any of this crap because it's a scam, right?
	It's a scam designed to put us in the tank.
	Was it Obama who promised that he would end global warming?
	Was that one of his campaign promises?
	He promised something.
	Yes, something along those lines.
	We'll have to look it up.
	There's a couple of Obama sites that follow all his promises and what he's reneged on and what he's actually done.
	All the ones he's done, he's done quite a few, but they're all minor.
	I have a good one.
	It's going to change from a Parker House role in the White House dining room to an old fat French role.
	You know, that kind of thing.
	Actually, here's a pretty good one.
	This is a good campaign promise he made.
	I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do.
	I will get our troops home.
	We will bring an end to this war.
	You can take that to the bank.
	Yep.
	Take it to the bank.
	Oh, can we take it to the bank?
	The bank, yeah, the bank.
	Take it to the bank.
	Take it to the bank.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	The banks are all bankrupt.
	We can't take it to no bank no more.
	So, um...
	You can take that to the bank.
	So he's going to apparently pump up the troops in Afghanistan, which gives me the opportunity to play the Good Morning Vietnam clip more and more.
	Well, it's going to be very interesting because right on the heels of this comes talk of a war tax.
	And, uh, it actually has a name.
	Of course, I have, uh, looked it up for you.
	Uh, actually, Nancy Pelosi was already saying, uh, hey, yeah, this is a pretty good idea.
	By the way, Pelosi, but just to, just to fit, because we're still kind of floating around in that climate thing.
	Pelosi has been, uh, pushing, the Republicans walked out of her committee when she was, like, pushing a hard line on climate change, uh, That whatever the Chinese or the Indians do is fine.
	They want to bail out.
	That's fine.
	We have to do this.
	She is very deep.
	Her husband is very deeply involved in Chinese businesses.
	Oh, really?
	I didn't know that.
	If the Chinese are given a free reign, she makes even more money.
	She's the richest person in Congress and obviously the most corrupt.
	Yes.
	Nice hooters.
	Nice rack.
	Yeah, they're probably two bags of plastic.
	Okay, so Pelosi says, hey, you know, I'm not really for sending more troops to Afghanistan, and the president will be announcing this from West Point on Tuesday.
	That will be carried live, of course.
	And, you know, so it's like, well, you know, I found some middle...
	I can tell you right now, it's like, you know, this is a necessary war.
	It's really important we send more of our young boys and girls over there.
	You know, General McChrystal, who I admire and respect, because he only eats once a day and gets up at 3.30 and runs for 59 miles.
	He's an obvious psycho.
	He is a complete psycho.
	He's asked for 48,000.
	By the way, not a single lamestream media outfit has actually reported the same number.
	It's all 48, 44, 40.
	It's all different numbers.
	He's probably going to announce about 30,000.
	Why don't you have 30,000 18- and 19-year-olds in your front yard versus 40,000?
	There's no fucking difference.
	It's still all young boys and girls who are going off to the...
	Can you play that Obama clip again?
	Yeah, of course I can.
	Here it is.
	You can take it to the bank.
	I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do.
	I will get our troops home.
	We will bring an end to this war.
	You can take that to the bank.
	All right.
	First thing he's going to do.
	Well, I thought the first thing he was going to do was close Gitmo.
	How many first things...
	Did he say he was going to do?
	So, let me get to the tax.
	So, this is a bill.
	It is H.R. 4130, introduced, interestingly enough, by Congressman Obey.
	I really like that one.
	Congressman Obey.
	It is known as the Share the Sacrifice Act of 2010.
	When I read that title, I was like, oh my God, Atlas Shrugged.
	Here it is, Shrugged.
	Share the Sacrifice Act of 2010.
	So the idea is there will be an extra tax, minimum of 1% of net income tax liability.
	However, the way it's going to work, it's just a proposal, so it's pretty easy to read.
	The president, here it is, Okay.
	In general, the term applicable percentage, so that's basically that the percentage is to be determined, but it will affect everybody, even if you're making $12,000 a year.
	The President will determine an applicable percentage of your income, which will be the share-the-sacrifice tax.
	and this applicable percentage to be determined by the president means with respect to any taxable year beginning in the calendar year the percentage which is determined by the president with respect to such calendar year under paragraph two and then you go look under paragraph two and essentially it says whatever the amount is and they're estimating this to be one trillion dollars over ten years so they're already expecting it to last ten more years So that's $100 billion a
	year.
	To go to the war that he's going to get our troops out of and take it to the bank?
	Yes.
	That war?
	Well, but he's not lying.
	Listen again to what he's saying.
	You can take it to the bank.
	That's exactly where we're going to be taking our money.
	To his bank.
	To the bank.
	I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, It is the first thing I will do.
	I will get our troops home.
	We will bring an end to this war.
	You can take that to the bank.
	Take your money to the bank, known as the IRS. Now, of course, this plays into so many deep emotions because any member of the armed forces of the United States who received compensation, which was excludable from gross income tax, Blah, blah, blah, blah, will not have to pay this tax.
	So if you're in the armed forces, or if you're a member of the, if you're married, I guess, to someone in the armed forces, you won't have to pay this tax.
	So they're saying, basically, it's a support the troops meme.
	And of course, I support the troops!
	My whole family is Gitmo!
	I support troops.
	I don't support the war.
	And this tax is not for supporting the troops.
	It's for supporting the war.
	But they're twisting that into a support because they've...
	And more than half the people are contractors.
	That's where all the money is getting sucked up.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	I was just reading this morning, there's apparently Global Services Inc.
	in the Netherlands, which I've never heard of, impossible to find on Google.
	One of their helicopters went down in Afghanistan, and they can't find it.
	And I'm like, wow, I didn't even know this.
	There's like a huge Dutch company that provides food and stuff.
	I had no idea.
	I had no idea.
	It's amazing.
	This is a huge money maker.
	But guess what?
	The money is going out of our pockets into these companies' pockets.
	There's more contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan than actual servicemen and women.
	More!
	No, this is a huge scam.
	And the thing that bothers me the most is the fact that the right-wing talk show guys, with maybe one exception, but generally speaking, are all pounding the drum for more troops, more war, more war.
	You know, and then there's the thing, the comment that was made by somebody, or that...
	Maybe even Obama said something about, we're going to finish the job.
	Finish what job?
	The place is a shambles.
	There hasn't been a country, Russia, sent at least probably ten times more people to Afghanistan.
	They couldn't get anything accomplished.
	It's not possible.
	They were there for ten years.
	We've been there for nine, so we're getting pretty close.
	It's not possible to just get out.
	It's the stupidest waste of money.
	It's not going to accomplish anything.
	Oh, the humanitarians.
	Oh, the poor women over there are going to be beaten up by their husbands.
	They've been beaten up by their husbands apparently for a long time.
	There are people in America who are beating up their wives.
	The fact of the matter is, this is ridiculous.
	And the fact that Obama would make these promises, and then, I mean, of course, I didn't vote for the guy, but I thought they voted him in so he could end these wars.
	I don't know, I'm sure there's a few Democrats that listen to our broadcast.
	How many of you voted because you wanted to end the war?
	End the war.
	Now, what, do you just still think everything's hunky-dory?
	Why don't you complain about it?
	You know, it's funny you say that because I did my experiment with the Sarah Palin book where I bought it.
	I walked around with it at the airport is where I bought it.
	And I read this book and I do want to say a few things about it.
	But this came up at the office the other day.
	I was there.
	No, no, you weren't there for the second part.
	The second part was best because I mentioned this.
	Actually, Bryn, one of our engineers, came over and I was standing right near Maggie's desk.
	Now, Maggie is a 60-year-old black woman who is my executive assistant, but really is big mama bear.
	She takes care of a lot of shit.
	And I love her dearly.
	And even though we disagree in politics, we have a real respect for each other.
	So Bryn comes over and says, because he's been reading some Twitters, and he says, dude, did you really read the Sarah Palin book?
	And I'm like, okay, so here's another zombie.
	And then Maggie goes, what?
	Oh, no, you didn't!
	Jeez, that woman is stupid!
	That woman is stupid!
	I'm like, wow, did you read the book, Maggie?
	Wow.
	I don't have to.
	You know, she's the product of incest.
	I'm like, wow, this is really, really, really outrageous.
	And I said, okay, hold on a sec.
	She didn't write that book.
	Who wrote that book?
	I said, probably the same guy who wrote Audacity of Hope.
	You know?
	And then she's like...
	Oh, good one.
	No, but then it got even worse because she's like, I'm so glad she didn't get in the White House.
	That would have been horrible.
	I said, oh, really?
	So how's that Obama working out for you?
	He has done more good for us.
	I'm like, well, what has he done?
	And she couldn't name it.
	She kept going to like, she's going to get us health care.
	I said, but Maggie, name one thing he has actually done so far.
	We inherited all this.
	I'm like, oh my God.
	The zombie-ism is just so...
	So prevalent.
	Now, can I just say a few things about The Going Rogue, which actually has a subtitle, An American Life, which it truly is.
	This is a very interesting book to read.
	It's not hard.
	I have to believe she wrote it.
	She's a pretty good writer.
	You know, she does her Facebook stuff.
	What's interesting about this book is two main things.
	One is all of the trooper gates and all the...
	All the things that were trumped up in the media, she completely debunks all of that.
	It's completely the way it happens in lamestream media, whether you're Britney Spears or whether you are Sarah Palin.
	It doesn't make any difference.
	This is just the way it goes.
	They find someone who said something, who blogged about it, and then before you know it, it's headline news.
	She also...
	And continuously throughout the book talks about how poorly the campaign was managed by headquarters in Washington.
	And this is actually where the title of the book came from because they would say, oh, you can't do that, Sarah.
	You can't say this.
	And whenever she would do things that she felt was right, then the HQ would say, oh, she's going rogue again.
	And very interesting.
	Just a lot of her history I didn't know about.
	She's an all-American girl.
	She's my age, by the way.
	All-American girl grew up like many Americans, which is not all New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, where our fish comes on the platter on the rice with the wasabi.
	She goes out and she guts fish and she catches the salmon.
	And shoots caribou and eats it, which is, by the way, that's the way it kind of always has been in America.
	It's just that even I am somewhat zombified of the thought of killing a beast.
	But of course, we'd much rather go get our saline-injected turkey at Whole Foods.
	Whole Foods probably doesn't sell saline-injected turkeys, but you get my point.
	And she has a lot of, in fact, I believe she has more executive experience than Joe Biden.
	Executive experience, right?
	So she's not legislative, but actually running stuff.
	Yeah, that argument's probably valid at some extreme, although I'm not absolutely sure that this commercial for Sarah Palin is.
	Hold on.
	It's not a commercial for Sarah Palin because when I hear her talk about Afghanistan and about the Fort Hood shooter, I'm like, okay, she's totally buying into all of the bullshit.
	And so she would never be my vice president or president ever.
	But she certainly has been assassinated to an amazing degree.
	It is a great study.
	Again, there is no difference between Britney Spears and Sarah Palin.
	No difference whatsoever the way she was treated, etc.
	And I am convinced that Katie Couric...
	Not really Katie, of course, because she doesn't sit down behind the editing console.
	But when you read about all the things that were put on tape and all of the...
	You know, hours of interviews that were done and what you actually see show up on television, then you start to understand even better how it works where CBS assassinated her.
	Yeah, no, that's true.
	In fact, a lot of media experts will tell you if you're going to be in that position.
	You don't do those types of shows.
	If you're going to do any sort of interview, you do a live, unedited interview.
	Live.
	Yes, live.
	It's got to be live.
	And even the Can I Call You Joe thing, all of that stuff she explains, it's her side of the story, so take it with whatever grain of salt you want, but certainly very, very believable, right down to Troopergate.
	The woman had a child born with Down syndrome.
	Which, you know, that's really tough on parents.
	The way she was treated It's just unbelievable.
	Yeah, there's no sympathy whatsoever.
	Zero sympathy.
	And so, all I'm saying is that I find it amazing that people look at me and actually tell me I should not read a book.
	What is this, Mein Kampf?
	I love to read all kinds of books.
	In fact, when you tell me I shouldn't read something, I'm going to go out and read it on purpose.
	I have said this for a long time, which is that you want to read both sides of all arguments.
	You want to read Rush Limbaugh's book.
	You want to read Obama's book.
	You want to read Kennedy's book.
	You want to read Lenin.
	You want to read Marx.
	You want to read Ho Chi Minh.
	By the way, his stuff is outstanding.
	You want to read from all perspectives so you can have some understanding.
	You just don't reject things out of hand like that.
	I was there in the office when you were mentioning this to one of the people there, and she basically said she was laughing at you.
	She said, I wouldn't read that book.
	I wouldn't read that book.
	Why would you read it?
	I'm not going to read it.
	I mean, why not?
	I mean, if you really think that she's a bonehead, read the book and then find the bonehead things in there so you can ridicule her.
	But just to throw this stuff away just out of hand is bigoted.
	It's not only that.
	It's un-American.
	It is undemocratic.
	I think if you're going to say, that's like book burning.
	That's like book burning.
	There's no difference between burning a book and saying, I'm not going to read it.
	There really isn't.
	No, it's virtual book burning.
	That's a good one.
	Now, back to the point you made earlier, which is the one about how Central Command was telling her what to do, left, right, and the other.
	I'm reminded of the time that Walter Mondale, who ran for president, was soundly trounced, the Democrat.
	And...
	I'm reminded of the time he came, I think it was the Carson Show.
	He came on the Carson Show.
	And the guy, I would never have believed it.
	The guy had personality.
	He had a sense of humor.
	He was telling jokes.
	He was keeping up with Carson, which is no easy task.
	And I'm watching this going, where did this guy come from?
	Why wasn't he the guy running for president?
	I may have voted for him.
	You know, they shut these guys down because they have these controlled, you know, these controllers, the shadow government that runs these campaigns.
	And they don't let anyone do anything because they're fearful that they're going to say the one bad thing and then they'll never be able to get out of the hole they dug for themselves.
	But what it does is it takes – why even have the election if we're going to do it this way?
	We don't even get to know who these people are.
	I'll take it even one step further, John.
	I'll tell you, I think HQ wasn't the Republican Party.
	I think it was the Democrats.
	I think it was just one party sitting there pulling all the strings, moving all the levers, and she was totally connecting with people.
	cough cough Dennis Miller, by the way, big supporter of Sarah Palin, according to the book, which I find kind of fun.
	She was totally connecting with people, and they kept saying, no, don't do this, don't do that.
	And may I remind you, Katie Couric, CBS, David Letterman, CBS. I mean, there was a total hit squad out to get her, and it came from headquarters, you know?
	It's so completely obvious.
	Now, for those of you listening to this broadcast or the podcast, You're lucky.
	Because you don't actually have to read the book.
	You see, John and I will do that work for you.
	And so even if you don't want to read it, you still can sound somewhat intelligent at cocktail parties, hanging out around the turkey.
	You can get a little conversation going.
	You've got enough facts about the book.
	You've got enough background about her.
	And all it will cost you is $5 a month.
	That's all we really need.
	We need some donations.
	I slept less because I'm reading this book as quickly as possible.
	I'm not a fast reader, actually.
	So I had like three sessions before I read the whole thing.
	We're doing this work for you.
	Look at my freaking show.
	Wait until you see the show notes for today's show.
	It's unbelievable how many links I have that you can research and read.
	The show notes are worth the price of admission.
	People should be just sending us all the money they've got in the bank for these show notes.
	You can take it to the bank.
	Especially people that want to do research.
	Let me thank a few people who donated this last week.
	Again, Australia seems to be right at the top of the list.
	Rich Burgess in Mafra, Victoria, gave us 100.
	Aaron, great.
	Tunstall, A-A-R-O-N Tunstall, 117 from Clemington, New Jersey.
	Michael Menzies, of course, gave us the Menzies.
	Is it Menzies or Menzies?
	It's Menzies, I think it is.
	He's our Australian executive producer for a second time with $300.
	Philip DeSilva, and by the way, Michael, thanks.
	Thanks for the note.
	Philip DeSilva gave a 6139 to highlight Bill C-61 of the 39th Canadian Parliament, which is some copyright act scam.
	What is that?
	It's a copyright, and they're trying to crack down.
	They're essentially taking copyright to new heights.
	Oh, good.
	So you won't be able to even quote.
	You won't be able to play that Obama clip.
	Take me to jail now.
	Which I always mispronounce.
	He's in Ontario, but the town is Etobicoke.
	What's his name?
	I stepped on you.
	Etobicoke.
	That's the name of the town.
	Philip De Silva is the name of the donor to highlighting C-61.
	Okay.
	Marcus Volter, $100, and he's in, okay, he wants us to plug Omega Style Podcast, O-M-E-G-A-T-A-U, Omega Tau Podcast.
	Omega Tau, that's like a fraternity podcast.
	Yeah, Omega Tau, but he's in Gropingen, Deutschland, G-O-E, or Gopington, Goping, Gopingen.
	Spell it, spell it, spell it.
	I'll just spell it once.
	G-O-E-P-P-I-N-G-E-N. Yeah, right.
	What you said.
	Goipingen.
	Goipingen.
	Goipingen, yeah.
	Matthew Graham, $63 from...
	Oh, man.
	You know, I write this down.
	It looks like I can read it.
	But he's...
	Oh, no.
	68 is why I said points against...
	Matthew is an Ohio State nut.
	And so the $63 represents the number of points scored against Michigan while he's been going to Ohio State.
	Got it.
	He's in Grove City, Ohio.
	We'll take any kind of crazy symbolic gesture.
	Steve Taft, who's given before Marietta, Georgia, I believe he has.
	Marissa Harriman...
	In Thornsland, Queensland, Australia, another Australian, 101.
	Thank you.
	And she also becomes number 27 of the women listeners.
	Christopher Grip, G-R-I-E-P, in Edmonton, Canada, 66-66.
	We get that.
	We understand.
	And Alan Chow in Flushing, New York, with $150.
	And then we have a bunch of $50 donors, $50 to $55 donors that I'll mention.
	DUI-help.com.
	Actually, he's going for knighthood.
	Barry Wilson, again in Australia.
	Malcolm Blair in Kalamazoo, Michigan, again.
	And then we have P. No first name I have, but it's a guy in Amsterdam.
	I think it's a guy.
	And his last name is spelled S-N-E-E-K-E-S. S-N-E-E-K-E-S. Snakes.
	Snakes.
	Snakes.
	I think Snakes.
	Snakes.
	I'm going to actually save this one for last.
	OKC Defensive Tactics gave us 50.
	Dwayne Cawthorn, Austin, Texas.
	Christopher Malmy in Cherry Valley, Massachusetts.
	And Ed Farrell in Kissimmee, Florida.
	And then Jennifer Ivory in Niceville, Florida, if there is such a town.
	I want people to go to this site because I have seen this woman's art.
	And I swear to God, until she sent this letter in and plugged her website, which is insectworks.com.
	I-N-S-E-C-T-W-O-R-K-S dot com.
	She makes insects...
	Essentially, they're sculptures, but they look like one of those bugs.
	You see people that have these bugs on a display with a pin through them, and there's a bug, and somebody collected the bug because they're bug collectors.
	She makes these same bugs, but she makes them out of feathers and goo and toothpicks.
	I've seen her stuff.
	I never knew this.
	I thought these were bugs.
	I'm looking at the butterflies.
	The butterflies are astonishing.
	It is beautiful, isn't it?
	Anyway, she's InsectWorks.com.
	Go buy her stuff, ladies and gentlemen, immediately.
	I can't imagine how much work she puts into one of these things.
	Anyway, we would really appreciate all these donations, and even the smaller ones.
	Go to NoAgendaShow.com or Dvorak.org.
	We need your help, and we need it on an ongoing basis.
	The $5 subscriptions are great, but any other donations is as appreciated.
	And, of course, the executive producers.
	Yes, and it would have been nice if we could have said it's been a great Thanksgiving, but just hearing that list, I know it hasn't been that great of a Thanksgiving.
	I do want to thank producer, new producer Murray, who sent me a note.
	Adam, a while back I signed up for an Audible account through one of Leo's Twit promotions.
	Tonight I decided to cancel my Audible subscription which cost me $15 a month and signed up for the $5 a month No Agenda subscription.
	I would have happily signed up for $10 or even $15 a month if one was available.
	I get much more enjoyment out of No Agenda than I ever did out of my Audible account.
	So that's another good idea.
	Just take a look at the things that you're subscribed to right now.
	And cancel that and send it to us.
	And by the way, you can set up a recurring payment, I think, for $15 a month.
	Yeah, you can do that.
	By the way, if you have extra money in your PayPal, go check and see if you have a PayPal.
	I think a lot of people, we got a number of people who sent like $1.23, $7.14, that were all just dumping out their PayPal account because they never used it or they don't like it or whatever, and they just wanted to close it out.
	And I thought that's all well and good.
	But we also should mention that we are working on Thanksgiving because we do want to keep the show on a regular schedule.
	So if it's a holiday, it's only a holiday in the United States and something of a bogus holiday.
	And we don't believe in it because the real Thanksgiving date is October 3rd, as John has explained previously on this show.
	There were no pilgrims and Indians sitting down.
	What the hell was it again, John?
	If you go to the blog, devark.org slash blog, on today's listings, you'll see the entire long-winded story with links to a second version that kind of discusses the Thanksgiving.
	It began as a Thanksgiving for the health of the soldiers in the Civil War.
	That was when it was officially codified.
	This was Abraham Lincoln who did that, correct?
	Yeah, Abraham Lincoln did that.
	But it's been done before.
	It's been in and out of vogue.
	Thomas Jefferson, they had some sort of festival in various parts.
	In fact, if you even think about it, this, of course, is a complete enjoy your shopping experience holiday because it's all set up for Black Friday, and it's always the third Thursday in November, which is never on the same date.
	So it's like, duh, don't you understand?
	It's a mercantile scam.
	Yeah.
	Which, of course, is what we do as Americans, because that's really what our economy is based on.
	Yeah, I don't have any complaints about it.
	My only complaint is the hype over the pilgrims and the Indians sharing a table with a turkey, and dressing, and mashed potatoes, and whatever you have for your Thanksgiving dinner, as some sort of thing that's been going on since the 1500s.
	It's bull.
	But I'm a buzzkill.
	So in the fine tradition of Thanksgiving, more than 150 countries have agreed to sign the international ban on landmines, the Landmine Treaty.
	Oh, except for the Obama administration.
	Those fine, loving people.
	We won't sign it.
	We're not going to sign no landmine ban.
	We want kids to be blowing their shit up years from now.
	You'll find that link, a fine article, in the show notes at noagendashow.com, curry.com, and dvorak.org.
	So, yeah, let's just wrap up.
	Thank you very much, everyone, for the donations.
	It's not enough.
	It really isn't.
	And there's only two ways to go.
	In the short term, we need people to donate as much money as possible, become a knight if you have the cash.
	And then the other way, longer term, if every single listener to this show gave us $5 a month, we'd be set.
	So if you're going to give us a big chunk of change, consider also signing up for the $5 a month plan.
	Because it's those little bits at the end of the day.
	It'll probably, at the rate we're going, it'll take two more years before we can even...
	I want to quit my day job.
	How many times do I say that to you, John, in this past week?
	How many times do I say, I want to quit my job?
	And John keeps saying, oh, man, wait.
	Way too many times.
	John keeps saying, man, wait six months.
	Like, six months?
	I can't.
	I need to be sitting.
	I need to be reading stuff.
	I need to be researching stuff.
	I don't have enough hours in the day to do all this.
	This is what happens to you.
	He was just happy as a clam when he was sitting in his place in London or when he was in Amsterdam.
	But he's over in San Francisco now and he turns into a Californian dude and serves up.
	No, the way it worked there is I had all day to read and research because, of course, San Francisco wasn't open until 4 in the afternoon.
	And then I'd have another work day.
	So I basically did.
	And, of course, it resulted in a divorce.
	And by the way, not going to be a cheap one.
	If you want to know what I'm going to do with the money.
	Yeah, pay bills, pay lawyers.
	Pay two and a half households.
	Anyway, we appreciate the donations, but we need more.
	It is just not enough.
	Yeah, especially compared to what these PBS people make.
	Divorce.org slash NA. Help us out.
	So a couple of things from around Gitmo Nation.
	In the Netherlands, a fantastic...
	Oh, I'm so proud of some of my Dutch freedom fighters.
	So, you know, there's all these...
	I've actually got a couple of stories on DNA databases, etc.
	So now in the Netherlands, the government there has come up with this kind of scam saying, well, the European law has already been passed, and of course now that Europe really is Europe and they have a president and the Lisbon Treaty was signed, hey, told you so, here it comes.
	As of actually September, Everyone in Gitmo Nation, Europe, has to have an identity card.
	Ausweis bitte.
	And in the Netherlands they're saying, you know what, you also have to give us your fingerprints.
	Where are your papers?
	Your papers, please.
	Yes, your papers.
	Give us your Ausweis.
	So they're saying you have to give us your fingerprints and everyone now has a number.
	So, this group, let me just find out, what's the name of the group is Het Nieuwe Rijk, and this is a Dutch story in the show notes.
	They sent out these really professional-looking folders.
	I'm not quite sure how they're funded.
	I don't have enough time to dive into it that deeply.
	They sent these really professional-looking folders as if they were coming from the government.
	It doesn't really say it, but it looks like it's coming from the Interior Ministry.
	And it's got these great pictures that said, here's a great idea.
	You should tattoo your ID number on your arm.
	It's fantastic.
	They actually have pictures of someone getting their number tattooed on their arm.
	For those of you too young to know...
	I've got to get a copy.
	This is great.
	I'm going to Skype you the link.
	This is what the Nazis did to the Jews in the Second World War, is they actually tattooed their number on their arm.
	And I can recall many times going over to friends' houses and seeing their...
	You know, they're grandmothers and stuff, and they have these numbers, and they actually display them quite proudly, of course, because, wow, you know, what a statement that is.
	Here, John, take a look.
	You can see the picture.
	In fact, let me see if I can get to their website.
	It might even have big...
	Oh, here it is.
	Oh, it's a JPEG of the folder.
	Oh, perfect.
	Hold on.
	So, in the meantime, I'm looking at it.
	Oh, this is very funny.
	Now, click this one.
	This is even better.
	That's the actual JPEG. So, I'm very, very proud that they did that.
	And, of course, now the Ministry of the Interior is saying, oh, we're going to sue them because they used our house style, which is the...
	Oh, what a bunch of weenies.
	They used our style look and feel.
	You know, in the United States, by the way, you can't suit people over anything that's a parody.
	Well, and of course, parody is very subjective to what is a parody or not.
	Well, I don't think this is too objective in this case.
	By the way, in the meantime, of course, there's a scandal, supposedly a Bruin in the UK, where they believe that now they're just arbitrarily arresting people left and right for the sole purpose of building up their DNA database.
	Yep.
	Okay, well, I guess we were wrong.
	You can go, but we'll keep the swab.
	More than three-quarters of young black men aged between 18 and 35 are on the system, according to a report, which you'll find in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	And, of course, this has been a big debate for many, many years in the United Gitmo Nation, of the United Gitmo Nation Kingdom.
	Because basically, everyone's now collecting DNA. They've built up this huge database.
	I think they have 8 million people in it already, which is almost 20% of the population.
	There's no rules.
	Anyone can access it.
	I still have to go back to the validity of DNA. It doesn't quite work like CSI. What is happening there, John?
	Are you okay?
	Some guy's horn is going off.
	Okay.
	It's not exactly like CSI where it's like...
	We've got a match.
	We've got the rapist.
	It's not quite like that.
	CSI is getting worse.
	They had this one, the CSI New York had this one where they're floating around.
	I was going to take a clip from it, but it was all visual.
	and essentially they were trying to track some guy down and they had these cameras all over New York as though it was like London and so they were following the guy running down the street on all these different cameras and they cut to a camera and they show the red light coming on and they show the control room and he's on camera three around battery stream
	and he's on camera four, he switched to camera six and they're following this guy and he's in the alley, you got him now and I'm looking at this thing, are they trying to make people feel comfortable with all these cameras or is this a group of crime fighting?
	I mean, the messages are screwy.
	By the way, I suspect that we're going to start finding some scam way to start collecting DNA in this country, too.
	Oh, of course.
	And by the way, what's happening is the American people, and you're not seeing this on television, because, of course, that's already been ridiculed as, oh, those crazy teabaggers.
	Which are really just pissed off Americans.
	That's basically it.
	For those of you not living in the United States.
	With guns, by the way.
	Well, funny you say that because Outdoor Wire, which is a, I think it's one of the largest gun websites on the net, has named President Obama Gun Salesman of the Year.
	Oh, yeah.
	Now, I'm familiar with the Obama effect on the gun industry.
	It's been phenomenal.
	It is unbelievable.
	There are so many guns being sold.
	The sales have gone through the ceiling.
	Yeah.
	And this is why I love America so much.
	I love this country as much as I bitch and moan about it because at the end of the day...
	When the shit really hits the fan and, you know, the Obama administration is building up their million-person army in the United States itself, and we all know about the MIAC report, which we discussed, where, hey, anyone who carries around a copy of the Constitution or supports Ron Paul or listens to No Agenda...
	You know, they get their DNA. The only thing we've got over every other country is we've got guns.
	And you can use them for enemies from outside the United States and inside the United States.
	Well, you know, the proof's in the pudding.
	Another country that has guns everywhere is Iraq.
	We can't, you know, the public is just shooting at us.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Afghanistan's got a lot of guns, and now you might as well give up on that.
	I mean, if you have an armed public and you think you're going to go in there and push people around for whatever reason, for whatever good reason, because you have, you know, some agenda of some sort, I mean, I still don't understand.
	I mean, what are we doing in Afghanistan?
	You know, let me play a clip for you, John.
	Let me play a little clip for you.
	This is Robert Baer.
	He's a former CIA agent.
	And, of course, we know it's really the CIA running a lot of the show because those are the guys that have to harvest the poppy and bring it to the processing and fly it into the United States in 747s.
	He sums it up very nicely in this clip, exactly what's going on over there and why we should get out quickly and why it's not going to work.
	Ooh, nice sound effect.
	Cool.
	Here it comes.
	What is fueling the insurgency in Afghanistan?
	What was fighting in Afghanistan is not terrorism, but it's a war of national resistance.
	And the people that want their country liberated from the West have nothing to do with Al-Qaeda.
	They simply want us gone because we're foreigners, and they're rallying around the Taliban because the Taliban are experienced, effective fighters.
	The bulk of what we prefer mistakenly as a Taliban.
	This is Matthew Ho, former senior U.S. civilian representative for the Zabul province in Afghanistan.
	These are people who have been there and know what they're talking about.
	Taliban with a capital T. The bulk of them are local groups that are paid by the Taliban out of Quetta to be for their allegiance.
	I don't see these local groups as being ideologically allied with the Taliban.
	If anything, their only allegiance besides money is the fact that they don't want an outside presence, whether it be the central government or the U.S. in their local communities.
	So essentially what they're saying here is, and you're right, John, is like, hey, they've got guns.
	Every household has a gun.
	And they're lining up around the capital T, which is the Taliban, because those guys are organized.
	They've got guns, or kind of organized.
	They've got guns.
	And we do the same thing.
	If some foreign people came into our country, we'd be lining up behind the capital T, the T-baggers, which is just people with guns, saying, hey, you know what, screw you!
	Screw you!
	We're going to blow your shit up.
	And it's all because we're there.
	They just want us out.
	Look at us as outside forces, colonial forces if you like, and no one is ever going to rally around that national army which we...
	And that is the reason why there is not a single effective unit in Afghanistan that can operate on its own.
	This is an occupying force.
	The Afghan National Army is led by Tajiks and Uzbeks in urban Pashtuns, and it is occupying the rural Pashtun South.
	So any support to this Afghan army only exasperates the civil war in Afghanistan.
	The Karzai is not going to win this war in his army.
	Neither is the Northern Alliance, neither are the Uzbeks.
	They are not going to win a civil war or a war of national liberation.
	This is the same civil war that began in the 70s, that caused the Soviet Union to invade.
	Just because the United States and NATO invaded in 2001 did not end that civil war.
	The civil war is still going on.
	So you get the point.
	These are the real experts who you won't see on television because they're not on board with the program.
	Yeah, no, I know.
	They're not on board with the program.
	They're not going to say that...
	They're not going to dispel the bullshit.
	They're going to tell, you know, tell from their perspective, which is probably a decent one.
	And nobody wants to hear it.
	Nobody at CBS or NBC or Huffington Post or...
	Any of these places you want to hear.
	By the way, what really gets me still, though, is that Obama thing.
	I mean, everybody voted.
	All these people vote.
	All the liberals voted for Obama to get us out of these wars.
	And as he gets...
	This happened...
	We saw this with Lyndon Johnson.
	I mean, the guy gets voted in.
	The next thing you know, he sends half a million people, troops, to Vietnam in another ridiculous war where there's no...
	You know, where you couldn't win, it was impossible because the people weren't with you.
	I mean, nobody was throwing posies at the Iraq invasion, like all Wolfowitz and all these neocons said, oh, they're going to be welcoming us with open arms.
	Nuts.
	They didn't welcome us at all.
	Because they didn't trust us, for one thing, and so now we're stuck there.
	I don't know.
	The whole thing is ridiculous.
	Let's listen to our president.
	Well, we've got to win.
	We've got to get the job done.
	In Iraq, for example, win against who?
	Who would come over and sign a surrender document?
	Name the person.
	Who signs the surrender document?
	How do we win?
	Who do we win against?
	Who is the person?
	Who is the group?
	Terror.
	Terror, John.
	That's why it's so beautiful.
	You call it the war on terror.
	Right.
	This is like the same kind of scam as CO2 emissions.
	They're just part of nature.
	Yes.
	So, once again, our formula is pretty damn simple.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	And we don't care who it is.
	We'll hit you in the mouth regardless.
	You love that clip.
	I do.
	It's the drums.
	You're right.
	Let's listen to our president one more time as he was campaigning.
	His big promise, first thing he's going to do...
	I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president...
	It is the first thing I will do.
	I will get our troops home.
	We will bring an end to this war.
	You can take that to the bank.
	Liar.
	Take it to the bank.
	You lie.
	I got a clip.
	You lie.
	Oh, wait.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm racist when I say that.
	I don't see black or white.
	I see lie.
	That's what I see.
	I see lies.
	I see lies.
	So I'm watching Jane Hartman having a meeting of her constituents and this woman.
	This is the hopeless clip.
	This woman who I think is pretty typical of some people out there.
	And I don't want...
	You remember when we played that crazy girl in Santa Cruz who gave testimony before the city council?
	Yeah.
	We could grow stuff.
	We could grow stuff.
	This woman here who's speaking in a kind of a...
	If anyone used to watch the old TV show, Mad TV, when Miss Swan was on, I think this may be her.
	My name is Lee Yang.
	It sounds like Arianna Huffington.
	What are you talking about?
	Isn't it her?
	It sounds like it.
	Yes, play it.
	About this patriarch and torture and all these type of things related to liberties, related to our constitutional rights, I want to ask this panel to really make a comparison of domestic and overseas or foreign affairs and torture things.
	What the hell is she saying, John?
	She's saying about the terrorism, domestic, torture, what?
	She kind of makes the point at the end of you, let it play.
	We have to label whether who is a bad apple.
	Whether bad apple is coming from within our United States officials, or who really make up stories, who really take up, let's say, for instance, people, Muslims, their properties, everything away from them, and then label them as terrorists.
	And then send them over to the Guantanamo Bay.
	In domestic, they do the same thing.
	They label people as inferior, with racial profiling, with contemporary order, take their resources, ask them to pay maybe even a million dollars for domestic issues, which is really unjustified.
	And if they don't pay, They can send them to jail even decades.
	Even they will have global search of their resources.
	And a prosecutor and financial institutions say, let's just release him because there's no resources.
	And we are here, officials, law enforcement, FBI, if you...
	That's to inform FBI that there is a tempering of computer, police computer database.
	The FBI, instead of to resolve the problem, resolve the car theft by the car dealers, they target on the citizens, and citizens become targets forever, for decades.
	And now they take away the citizens, maybe the home, the cars, the social security card, and passport, everything is passport, and if they want, they can just deport these immigrants.
	So I want to be sure, just look into this problem, resolve the bad air, bad force, and then we can have prevention done.
	Otherwise, it's hopeless.
	You know, this is great.
	When we get the No Agenda stream up and running, she's getting her own show.
	She's great.
	She's awesome.
	She's saying all the right things.
	It's just that this type of person will get ridiculed out of town because she sounds so weird, but she's saying some really true stuff.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's an example of pidgin English.
	And actually, when I was listening to that, I realized that people who don't really get to English and they still speak either one of the iconic languages that uses, you know, like Chinese that uses the icons.
	Many of those things, the verbs and noun structure is totally alien.
	And essentially, she makes nothing but sense if it was all written.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's hard to get past the sentence structure and the accent, but yeah.
	But no, anyway, I just thought it was very funny.
	But this, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, we listen to C-SPAN and we are subjected to this constantly.
	This is why we need your help.
	I thought you'd get a kick out of it.
	Yeah, no, I appreciate that.
	That is really nice.
	I got another clip if you want to...
	Before you do that, just a couple things from around the globe.
	Gitmo Nation East.
	Massive disruption is expected across Ireland as public services will shut down in a national strike over pay cuts.
	Ahem.
	More than a quarter of a million public workers are staging a walkout.
	God bless the Irish.
	I mean, they got shafted with the whole Lisbon Treaty.
	They said no.
	It was a do-over.
	Eventually, you just lose.
	And if it's not by honest voting, they'll rig the machines.
	That's how it's been done for years.
	There is no crisis.
	There is no problem.
	There is no swine flu.
	It's just all created to make you shut up, sit down, and be a good slave.
	And so I appreciate the fact that hospitals, schools, social welfare offices, local authorities are all going to walk out over plans to slash 1.3 billion euros from the public sector wage bill.
	So even though that may be somewhat misguided, at least they're showing their teeth because they don't have any guns over there.
	More guns.
	One thing from the segment two to the head.
	This was just too funny.
	A number of people sent me this article.
	You remember the Kentucky census worker who was found hung?
	He was bound with gaffer tape.
	And the words fed were written across his chest.
	So, of course, this is part of what's happening, right?
	Particularly in Kentucky, man, don't mess around.
	People there are awake.
	And so they're like, hey, screw this shit.
	Whatever this guy did, I'm against killing.
	But I can understand the anger.
	So, of course, the feds come out and say he killed himself.
	He killed himself, but he staged his own murder.
	Why?
	I don't know.
	That's not in the article, interestingly enough.
	The feds wouldn't say why, but Kentucky State Police Captain Lisa Rodzinski said the investigation revealed that the letters fed scrawled on his chest in black pen had been written from the bottom up.
	And Sparkman's DNA was the only forensic evidence found at the scene.
	There you go.
	CSI came out and they said, oh, clearly this is not a murder.
	This is clearly a suicide because no one's angry at the Fed.
	No one's angry at it.
	The other thing is, you know, one of our producers sent something a couple weeks ago and we never got around to it, which is another example of some government worker that was found dead in a river, but with a couple of gunshots and they called that suicide, apparently shot himself twice and then jumped in the water.
	Two to the head, put the gun in the left hand.
	I think you shot himself twice in the head.
	Well, this is two to the head.
	It's suicide.
	I guess the first shot, you know, I don't know, maybe the recoil of the gun.
	I love it.
	And we just eat that shit up.
	Oh, okay.
	All right, that makes sense.
	Yeah, he shot himself twice.
	Yeah, okay.
	I got it.
	Meanwhile, the Obama administration, and this is a great story from the North America Interpress Service, which I do read from time to time.
	I'll give you the headline.
	You can read it yourself in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com.
	With the health care debate preoccupying the mainstream media, it has gone virtually unreported that the Barack Obama administration is quietly supporting renewal of provisions of the George W. Bush-era USA Patriot Act, That civil libertarians say, infringe on basic freedoms.
	This thing will get renewed.
	It won't get renewed as the Patriot Act.
	That would be way too incendiary.
	So they're just going to quietly slip in all the, like the FISA and...
	You know, and removing habeas corpus or keeping that off the books and posse commentatus.
	All this stuff is, you know, our liberties in the United States have just been removed.
	But, of course, we're actually behind the United Kingdom.
	We're behind Australia.
	You guys are the beta testers.
	And enjoy.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	You want to do a clip or you want to quickly talk about gold?
	Oh, gold.
	The only thing I want to say is that now that it approaches $1,200 an ounce, HSBC, this is the big bank, has actually told its retail gold buyers, get your gold out of our vaults, which I find fascinating.
	HSBC is telling clients to either move their metal or prepare for it to be delivered to their doorsteps.
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, they don't want the gold anymore in their vaults, and it's not quite clear why, but...
	Let me see.
	Jonathan Potts, managing director of Fidela Trade, parent company of Delaware Depository Service Company, says, I've never seen any relocation like this in my life.
	They have now two vaults have been filling up because HSBC is saying literally to their retail clients, get it out of here.
	And then another story from the National Post says, And this is about Canada.
	Remember we were talking about that fake gold?
	The tungsten.
	The tungsten, yeah.
	So a report came out, which was released in news services, that 17,514 troy ounces of gold and other precious metals were missing.
	And there's a lot of, I have to say, unconfirmed sources who are saying that they went to melt the shit and it was lumpy.
	Lumpy?
	Because, of course, gold melts at, like, what, 2,200 degrees and tungsten at 8,000 degrees.
	Yeah.
	And so, you know, literally gold is being stolen out of vaults, stolen from like central banking vaults.
	You know, there's still no certainty whether America's gold is really at the Federal Reserve.
	And, you know, of course the report that we talked about on the last show, that China is really pissed off because they bought all this gold and turned out to be bogus.
	Tungsten.
	Well, they sell us a lot of bogus stuff, so A. You bastards.
	So, go to WikiLeaks and also look into the...
	Somebody had just released all the cell phone and...
	Yeah, you know, I've been following this.
	It's 911.wikileaks.com.
	I haven't found anything interesting yet.
	If anybody finds something, can they just send us a copy?
	Well, they have a link to a Reddit page.
	And it is kind of interesting as a social view because they're releasing it hour by hour.
	So you can kind of read through all of the...
	I think it's pagers more than anything.
	It's pager messages.
	Not cell phone text, but just pagers, which of course 2001 was still pretty prevalent.
	There's a lot of sysadmin stuff, which is kind of weird.
	You see like trading desks down, etc.
	And there's a lot of personal stuff in there.
	And, you know, it's like, you know, everyone was emailing me.
	Oh, they're releasing all this.
	Oh, someone...
	It's like there's nothing in there.
	There's just nothing.
	Okay, so let's do the clip.
	Maine Curry.
	This is a...
	This is a healthcare debate clip from a Republican senator from Maine who makes this very interesting argument, and as soon as she did it, I'm thinking, ha!
	This is exactly what Adam suggested about a month and a half ago.
	There's another problem that's going to drive up the cost, Mr.
	President.
	The very tight rating bands in this bill will increase the cost for young people.
	Now, why does that matter when we're trying to expand coverage to those who are uninsured?
	For this reason, Mr.
	President, more than 40% of uninsured Americans are between the ages of 18 and 34.
	Extreme price increases for the young and healthy will simply force them out of the market because most young people, I fear, will just do the math.
	They'll decide to pay the new $750 a year fine rather than paying $5,000 a year or more for health insurance.
	This is particularly true because under the bill, if they do get sick later, they can still buy insurance.
	With no penalty, no increased cost.
	And no pre-existing conditions rule.
	So if you get cancer all of a sudden, you can just say, hey, I got cancer.
	You, by law, have to give me insurance.
	And that's why the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and keep in mind, this is the association of state officials who regulate insurance.
	These are public officials.
	According to the NAIC, these provisions will lead to severe adverse selection that will drive up the cost of premiums for everyone else who's in the insurance pool.
	I'll take it one step further.
	As a small business owner, which is under 250 employees, I can tell you exactly what's going to happen.
	When this bill gets passed, which I'm pretty sure it will because we're too stupid...
	When it gets passed, we're going to look at it at Mevio and we're going to say, you know what?
	Congratulations, everybody.
	We're going to pay the tax and there's like a 4% tax.
	It will be cheaper for us to pay the tax for you to go get your public option From the government, rather than us paying for it.
	It'll just be cheaper.
	We're going to do the numbers.
	Like, okay, great.
	And by the way, I think that's why it's set up that way.
	Go for it.
	And that, of course, is when the big scam comes in.
	The public option, yeah, it's a good idea.
	It doesn't work anywhere.
	Ask anyone in the UK. Oh, the UK has done it successfully for years.
	It's the biggest, most expensive piece of crap that kills people.
	Yeah, it's great when you get your meds for five pounds, sure.
	Well, the idea that you pay the $700 fee fine and then you...
	Yeah, you just go out when you get sick.
	And then you go out when you get sick.
	Which is why Pelosi, I believe it was Pelosi or one of these folks, is trying to get the jail time thing in there.
	Yeah, $250,000 or five years in jail.
	Yeah, of course.
	Yeah.
	Of course.
	So that people won't take advantage of the obvious loophole.
	Oh, yeah.
	No doubt about it.
	No doubt about it.
	Okay, quick media assassination.
	The Washington Post shut down all of its offices.
	Did you read about that?
	Pray tell.
	Why?
	Well, they're out of money.
	They got no more money because no one's reading it.
	I wonder why people aren't reading this stuff anymore.
	Maybe because the information is sucky.
	Yeah, it's bogus.
	I keep hoping.
	I'm waiting for Rupert Murdoch to stop rattling his saber and lock up your shit already, dude.
	Lock it all up.
	I want every lamestream media outlet, please, refuse Google to index your stuff.
	Put it behind the paywall, please.
	You don't even have to do that.
	There is a robot.
	Yeah, robot.txt file.
	Right.
	You just tell the bot not to index your site, and it won't.
	Google doesn't care.
	If you, the Washington Post, do not, or let's make it Murdoch, if you, Murdoch, do not want to be indexed by Google because you think they're ripping you off, then maybe you should just put the little text file in there and tell the robots to go away, and they will.
	Yeah, but take your news away.
	I don't want your news.
	It'd be fantastic.
	Then finally we can get some real news out there.
	I can watch C-SPAN and report on it.
	If people donated enough money and I had the time, I could do it all day.
	Yeah, I'd love to.
	I'd love to.
	Not a problem.
	Well, you know, I know Newsweek was losing like, which I think is part of the same group.
	Newsweek is such a piece of crap.
	They were losing like $2 million a week or something like some ridiculous amount of money.
	I keep buying that at the airport and then kicking myself later.
	Why?
	Just buy The Economist.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The Economist is pretty good.
	I like it.
	It's a good publication.
	And there's other things you can find here and there.
	Just a couple of...
	And by the way, UK newspapers still have some pretty interesting stuff.
	Yeah, and I wish...
	The Independent has an international edition, much like the International Herald Tribune, which I ran into in New York once, in a hotel lobby.
	And I wish it would show up out here on the West Coast, because it's actually really outstanding.
	The IMF? I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry, just say the International Edition of The Independent.
	The IMF, International Monetary Fund, who collect a lot of money from everywhere and give it out to other people.
	They're kind of like a global bank.
	They're warning that a second bailout would actually threaten democracy, which I think is pretty true.
	Good read there in Times Online.
	Standards and poor.
	Now, of course, you've been following the stock market like, oh, stocks are up.
	We're going to hit 11,000.
	Of course, because the dollar has gone down by 35% this year.
	So that's why gold is also up is because the dollar goes down so horribly.
	Standards and Poor, S&P, has given warning that nearly all of the world's big banks lack sufficient capital to cover trading and investment exposure, risking further downgrades over the next 18 months unless they move swiftly to beef up their defenses.
	This is the big unreported story, John, is that all of these banks are still...
	And even little Timmy Geithner, when he's being drilled and grilled...
	It's like, hey, we're still in deep shit here.
	We don't have the tools.
	We need more tools.
	You're saying that they're still in deep shit, as you say.
	Why are they giving their executives these billion-dollar bonuses?
	Well, because these guys need to buy up their beautiful homesteads in Paraguay.
	Everyone's bailing.
	This is what people fail to see, is that all these guys, this is the last time they can do it.
	They're giving themselves all the money.
	They're going to take it while it's still worth something.
	It's going to take a couple years.
	It's not going to happen overnight.
	It's like, oh, the dollar's going to collapse tomorrow.
	I don't think it happens like that, but as many wise men have said, once the dollar starts to slide, that's it.
	It's never coming back.
	So they're buying up real property now that they still have their billions of dollars.
	Real property, real stuff, real slaves, get it all set up, go live somewhere else where it's nice and warm, and screw everybody else.
	This is the big parachute that everyone's pulling.
	And it's going to happen again.
	And certainly if cap and trade gets put into play, it'll take a little bit longer, but there'll be another huge bubble.
	There's a huge bubble right now with the carry trade, with the U.S. dollar.
	It's going to blow up.
	It's unavoidable.
	Look at history.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	They don't teach that in school anymore.
	Yeah.
	But there is good news, John.
	Yeah.
	I thought you were going to have some real news today.
	I actually do have some real news for you.
	Hey, I hit the button and it doesn't do anything else.
	And now, back to Real News.
	Aliens from outer space are already among us on Earth.
	This is a known fact.
	I mean, I've subscribed to this for a long time.
	It's just we are so...
	So you're going to read some promotion for V? No, but I will get to that.
	No, but I'm pretty much convinced that the Pleiadians already live amongst us.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Give us the real news.
	Shut up for a second.
	This is not crap.
	Let me finish.
	This is one of my beliefs, okay?
	I think that if you really, if you walk down the street, and even I have trouble doing this, but I force myself to do it all the time, look at the people who are coming from the other direction, smile at them, that's also nice, and you will see people, and from time to time you think, wow, that person looks kind of like an alien.
	Because they are living amongst us, and I believe that the Galactic Federation actually already has their ships.
	Not everyone sees them, because we never look up at the sky.
	Except on Hopenhagen.org, those guys look up at the sky.
	But take some time, look at the sky, sit in the grass, chill for a second, become one with nature.
	The Bulgarian Space Research Institute says they are currently working on deciphering a complex set of symbols that they have received as they claim aliens are currently answering 30 questions these Bulgarian scientists have asked them.
	And this is the Bulgarian Space Research Institute.
	It's reasonably legit, I would say, except for the Bulgaria part.
	Sorry, people in Bulgaria.
	So Legezar Filipov, who's the director, says the center's researchers are analyzing 150 crop circles from around the world, which they believe...
	What Russian newspaper did you get this from?
	This is from the Telegraph in the UK. Aliens are currently all around us, watching us all the time, Mr.
	Filipov told Bulgarian media.
	They are not hostile towards us.
	Rather, they want to help us, but we have not grown enough in order to establish direct contact with them.
	This is what the ascension theory is all about.
	Raising up the vibrations of your being to a higher level.
	And I think we are actually doing part of this work with this very program.
	Because really what it is, it's seeing...
	All the crap when you can really watch television and say, oh, well, this is just like a movie.
	This is just, you know, it is literally the Matrix.
	Yeah, I think we do accomplish that.
	I think, you know, if these aliens are out there, let's ask them specifically for a big donation.
	Yeah.
	Come on, aliens.
	Give us some money.
	See, this is where you show that you have not raised yourself up to higher vibrations yet.
	And this is why I'm preparing to quit my day job, John, because I know that all will be taken care of.
	I know that when I follow what I'm destined to do, everything will be taken care of.
	It's all going to be okay.
	It will be.
	Well, I'm having dinner at your house tomorrow.
	That's free food.
	See, it works.
	We have to talk about V really quickly then, because everybody sent us this clip.
	I might as well play it.
	V, by the way, is the remake of the Alien show here in the States.
	I'm trying to figure out why they're doing this, and I think I have a theory.
	Just listen to this clip and you'll understand what the most recent episode was about.
	Neither John or I have the stomach to watch it anymore.
	Besides the horrible acting which is so obvious in the audio only clip.
	just too many ads and it's just crap sorry I should have cut off the dramatic music What the hell is R6? What they're putting in the vitamin shot.
	They're experimenting on people.
	Is that the vitamin Z?
	No.
	It's the flu vaccine.
	What, human vaccine?
	They're not mixing their drug into the vitamin shot.
	They're mixing it into our flu vaccine.
	Right, okay, so the idea here is the V have this fantastic vitamin shot.
	It cures all kinds of ailments that we have here on Earth, but they're secretly, and the V, of course, are reptiles, and they live amongst us.
	Follow me now on the story I just told you.
	They actually are putting some deadly poison into the flu vaccine.
	So I'm thinking, huh, why is ABC, a Disney corporation, why are they doing this?
	And, of course, it dawned on me, That, you know, whenever someone speaks the truth, whenever there's something actually happening that is real, you know, listen to Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich, who, by the way, also believes in aliens, they're ridiculed.
	I think he might be one of those guys, if you saw him on the street, you'd think he was the one.
	He could be.
	These people are ridiculed.
	So I believe the reason why Disney is putting this out there, it comes, of course, from higher command, and it's like, let's just ridicule all these bastards who are saying that we're putting some shit in the flu vaccine.
	The whole idea of reptile aliens living amongst us, which I think is really true.
	I don't know if they're reptiles, but I think aliens do live amongst us, good and bad.
	This is basically so that people like David Icke are ridiculed.
	This is what you have to lift yourself above.
	They're doing this specifically to control your mind into thinking something is funny and not real.
	That's why they do it.
	It keeps your mind away from the truth.
	So I'm very hopeful, actually.
	When I see this, I'm thinking, okay, good.
	That means there really is something going on here.
	And when enough people are able to lift their vibrations to a higher level, we're made of vibrations, John.
	You can't deny that.
	We all have a frequency.
	That's why we say, hey, I'm on your wavelength.
	What's the frequency, Kenneth?
	It's channel 19.
	Breaker, breaker, good buddy.
	I think we better wrap this show before we lose our sponsors.
	We can't.
	Why?
	What, do you got another story?
	I was hoping they were going to put the swine flu minute on to Sunday.
	Now, only one story, just because it broke two days ago.
	The GlaxoSmithKline thing, where they're killing people left and right, or making everyone sick up in Canada, they had to recall all the vaccine?
	That's basically it.
	Pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline said Tuesday it has advised...
	Not demanded.
	You know, Toyota does a recall of four million cars because the accelerator's stuck.
	It's all over the news.
	Oh, accelerator's stuck!
	Oh, people have died in traffic!
	But meanwhile, GlaxoSmithKline has advised staff in Canada to not use one batch of swine flu vaccines because it could trigger life-threatening allergies.
	Yeah, you mean like neurological diseases?
	That kind of allergy?
	Company spokeswoman Gwen and White said that they had issued the advice after reports that one batch of swine flu, which makes it sound like a batch of eggnog, you know, like, oh, it's just a batch.
	It's just a batch.
	Don't give us the lot number.
	No, it's just a batch.
	It might have caused more allergic reactions than normal.
	The batch is 172,000 doses of the vaccine.
	It's quite a few.
	Yeah, that's not just a batch.
	White said UK-based KlaxoSmithKline wrote to Canadian healthcare officials advising them to stop using the batch.
	On November 18th, he says a total of 7.5 million doses of the vaccine have been distributed in Canada.
	So they're saying this batch of 172,000, what she's really saying is, hey, Canadians, you're screwed.
	If you got that shot, you are so screwed.
	And, of course, shares went down by 0.08%.
	Well, I don't know that if in Canada you get sick from the shot that they're held.
	We passed a law in the U.S. saying that there's no liability.
	If you get sick getting the shot, you can't sue them.
	No, that's why it's just an advice.
	They don't have to do a big...
	Big recall.
	If you die from the vaccine, there is no legal recourse for you.
	Your government...
	But that's Canada.
	It's Canada.
	Same in the U.S. Everywhere.
	Every single country that has the flu vaccination for swine flu has exempted the makers of it.
	Are you sure of that?
	I think you're just making this up.
	I'm not making this up.
	Are you goading me?
	I'm just saying.
	I don't know that.
	I'd never heard that this was the case every place in the world.
	Okay, let's Google it real quick.
	Canadian...
	Swine flu...
	Liability issues.
	I love it when you can just type this into Google.
	Let's see.
	Canadian government signed secret agreement with Big Pharma to limit liability exposure.
	There you go.
	Is that enough for you?
	One second link on Google.
	I can't believe the Canadians would put up with that crap.
	Well, the...
	Listen, who owns Canada?
	England.
	Well, apparently somebody, because they know it's about...
	Yeah, well...
	Yeah, the Queen of England.
	And who owns...
	Where's it?
	GlaxoSmithKline in England, in the United Kingdom, please.
	So, even though they may not be out to kill you with this shot, the whole idea here, I just want to reiterate, so you know what's coming...
	There is a connection to the French fries.
	Yeah, we're not there yet.
	We're not there yet.
	The whole idea is to get you into the idea that vaccines are preventative drugs, and this is why this health care bill is so interesting.
	On page one, right there, boom, it says, no health care insurer can refuse vaccines.
	In fact, that is code for vaccines are what you'll be pushing.
	That's very, very important.
	They're coming out with a vaccine against nicotine addiction, against cocaine addiction, against methamphetamine addiction.
	Notice, by the way, no vaccine for heroin addiction, which of course is the biggest trade coming out of Afghanistan.
	Don't want to mess up the market.
	We've got a vaccine for breast cancer.
	We've got a vaccine for cervical cancer.
	Actually, if you think about it, If you think about it, if you're going to have vaccines against all these other kind of addictive things except heroin, what you're doing is you're driving the market towards heroin.
	Yeah, of course.
	Of course, that will be the only awesome drug left.
	Gotta love it.
	Have you ever done heroin, John?
	No.
	I haven't seen any reason to.
	I think we should give it a try.
	I'm against it.
	Well, I've done nothing other than marijuana.
	It has a bad reputation.
	I think, you know, maybe that's just all overblown.
	Maybe it's really awesome.
	I don't know.
	It's like reading Sarah Palin's book.
	You know, maybe I should just try some heroin.
	Yeah, let me know how it goes.
	Someone seems to think it's good.
	There's a big market in it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, you could shoot it.
	You could smoke it.
	Can you snort it, too?
	I think so, yeah.
	Well, I should try the smoking variety.
	I'll let you know.
	Hey, thank you again for inviting me over to dinner tomorrow night.
	I'm very excited.
	And I love the fact that the Dvoraks are just celebrating Thanksgiving one day after Thanksgiving.
	I think that's very radical.
	And I'll bring some heroin over.
	We'll all smoke it.
	I think you should not bring the heroin to the house.
	Not to the house.
	Alrighty.
	Hey, John.
	Yes?
	Even though it's a bogus day, I'm thankful that I'm able to do this show with you.
	I really am.
	Well, I appreciate that, and of course you're the one that makes the show work.
	You're supposed to say I'm thankful to do this show with you too.
	That's kind of what I was looking for, you douchebag.
	Coming to you from the minimum security containment cell in Gitmo Nation, West San Francisco, California, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley where the sun is high and Adam wants to be high apparently.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
