	Somebody's gonna get killed.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's January 3rd, 2010.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 162.
	This is no agenda.
	And Happy New Year, Gitmo Nation.
	Welcome to the new Ice Age.
	Coming to you live from the Minimum Security Containment Cell Crackpot Command Center, still located in Gitmo Nation West, San Francisco, California, in the morning...
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And it's bright and sunny here in northern Silicon Valley.
	And I'm sunny too.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning!
	In the morning to you, John.
	Happy New Year.
	In the morning to you, too.
	Hold on one sec.
	My children, it's a Sunday morning service.
	Tell us if there's no agenda.
	We're going to get some out of courage.
	We're going to get a little job to the voter.
	Lord, help us out.
	Lord, help us out.
	I like that one.
	Again, it's a little long.
	But this is good.
	It's good for an opening jingle, kind of to get everyone in the mood for early service.
	So, I guess what is going on is mostly this crotch bomber guy.
	You want to dive right into that?
	I mean, how about Happy New Year?
	I wish you all the best for 2010, my friend.
	It's been great.
	It's just another day.
	It's another weekend.
	Where did you celebrate?
	What did you do?
	Anything fun?
	Yeah, okay.
	So, hey, man.
	How was your New Year?
	Well, let me tell you what happened.
	A funny thing happened over New Year's.
	You want to hear it?
	No?
	Yeah.
	So we went up to Bodega Bay.
	You familiar?
	Yeah, it's a little drive up.
	I can see it from the house.
	Yeah, along with Russia.
	So we drove out to Bodega Bay, and we had this great place we're staying at for a couple days.
	But it was really shitty weather, so the whole idea of the blue moon, beach walk, and, you know, it was rainy.
	It was cloudy.
	There was no moon to be seen.
	It was crap up there.
	How was it?
	Was it nice down near you?
	Gorgeous.
	Ugh, see, typical.
	None of that, but we get to see the fireworks from the, you know, there's fireworks this place San Francisco had.
	And there was just enough of a breeze.
	Generally speaking, in San Francisco when they have fireworks, there's either fog, and the fireworks go into the fog, and all you see is a flash of light.
	Right, right.
	Or there's, it's nice out, but there's no wind, and so the thing becomes a big mass of smoke.
	And so every time, you know, it becomes a mess.
	But this was actually, it cleared, it was really pretty, and they had a couple new, a lot of smiley faces.
	And there's another bomb they've been shooting that looks like a cube when it blows up.
	It's just like a cube.
	Oh, it's a new type of pyrotechnic.
	Yeah.
	So we're up there, and of course, you know, it's like there's nothing going on.
	Not that we expected anything super to be going on, but because the weather was crap, there was really nothing going on.
	And so we're like, oh man.
	So we go into the lobby, and there's this group of English people.
	Brits.
	Yeah, Brits.
	But it's the grandma and grandpa, who are probably right near their 70s, but really proper.
	And grandma's already hammered.
	And they got their kids.
	Kids live nearby in Petaluma.
	And her other kids from Australia were in.
	So it was probably like with some grandchildren.
	It was probably about 10 or 11 people.
	And they had, of course, as proper Brits do, they had a big cooler full of booze.
	Literally like a Coleman cooler with champagne and Baileys and beer and, you know, you name it.
	And they had party hats and noisemakers and what they call crackers, you know, that explode with confetti.
	And so we actually wound up celebrating with them right there in the lobby.
	It was great.
	We trashed the entire lobby.
	But the funniest thing was...
	So, you know, after midnight...
	Let me guess.
	Let me guess.
	It was the Queen.
	No.
	Oh.
	No, so these people have no idea who they are.
	I'm like, oh, this is kind of interesting to celebrate with them.
	And one of these guys says, so what are you doing?
	I said, oh, you know, media company, whatever.
	Ah, you probably know my best friend.
	Sounds good already.
	He says, my best friend, Leo.
	Leo?
	Yeah.
	The guy lives in Petaluma.
	Oh yeah, he lives in Petaluma.
	Everybody in Petaluma knows each other.
	He's like, Leo is the best.
	Leo is awesome.
	I was like, Happy New Year.
	That's cool.
	I'm very happy for you.
	So what was the guy's name?
	I had no idea.
	I don't remember the guy's name.
	He's in real estate.
	He looked unhappy.
	I'm sure he was.
	He's in real estate.
	But it was beautiful up there the next day.
	After New Year's, it got really good.
	All right.
	Forget about it.
	It sounds like you had a great time.
	Nah, we did.
	It was alright.
	It was weird.
	Did you rent a car?
	You had to rent a car.
	No, I still have the car from the Yosemite trip.
	Oh, you're renting it by the month or the week?
	No, a weekly rental with Enterprise.
	Oh, you just didn't take it back?
	No, I got a weekly rental with Enterprise.
	It was a pretty good deal.
	It was like $400 for the week.
	It was perfect.
	So what was the...
	What is the car?
	What kind of car is it?
	I hate Enterprise, by the way.
	I love Enterprise.
	The one on Folsom Street, they're awesome.
	No, I don't like them.
	Why don't you like them?
	They treat me perfectly.
	I used to get cars.
	I ran from them twice, I think.
	One time they stiffed me on something, and then the other one I was sitting there taking the car back, and somebody else had their car being inspected to them.
	They were looking for little dings.
	I mean, it was unbelievable.
	I've never seen anything like that.
	It's like an onerous company.
	I don't like them.
	Well, the one in Folsom is exactly the opposite of everything you're saying there.
	It was a great deal.
	It was like a Tahoe for $400 in a week.
	A Tahoe?
	A big giant gas guzzler?
	Yeah.
	How do you even get that thing in the parking spot?
	Well, as long as you're not parked there, it's not much of a problem, John.
	If it's not you or Molly who's parked there...
	I mean, God, the whole new media industry of San Francisco has my garage door code and is using my parking spot.
	The other day, Molly Wood was here.
	She had a car here for two days.
	Where was Molly?
	Well, now that's a question.
	I am not at liberty to disclose that information.
	But it was here for two days.
	I was like, you know, that's taking advantage of it.
	Now my friends can't even park in the spot.
	Well, it'll all be over soon.
	Well, are you going to take the Tahoe back?
	Can you even drive a car that big?
	You're British.
	What are you talking about?
	I'm American.
	I'm perfectly capable of driving a car like that.
	And by the way, what a great deal, huh?
	Yeah, I guess.
	It's $400 a week plus, what, $500 in gasoline?
	No, I only filled it up twice.
	Only $1,000.
	Oh, $100.
	No, I was like, screw you.
	You're a horrible man.
	So what do you see on the news this week?
	I mean, nothing's happened.
	I mean, since Thursday, it's just the same crap.
	Well, a couple of things.
	A lot of people started sending me articles about the Codex Alimentarius.
	Yes, I saw those emails.
	Yeah, which now I've been talking about this for pretty much going on two years.
	This is the food law, which is now actual law in the United States of Europe.
	And, of course, this is a United Nations initiative.
	So this is very much like global warming or climate change.
	So there's all kinds of panels.
	So there were two stories that were sent in.
	We're going to be hearing a lot more about this.
	Just to whet your appetite, this is from the Wisconsin Ag Connection.
	Members of the State Senate Committee on Agriculture and Higher Education will soon be looking at several bills that are beginning to move through the legislative process.
	And so they've got all these different things which relate to people who can food at home.
	You're going to forget that.
	You can't can food at home?
	The sale of home canned food products.
	That will be the first item of the agenda.
	So you can can food at home, but you just won't be able to sell it.
	Well, I mean, who sells their own canned food anyway?
	Well, lots of people in Wisconsin, apparently.
	Oh.
	And then people who render dead animals to produce grease or other non-food products.
	Essentially, what the Codex Alimentarius is doing is outlawing all different kinds of Food and food products.
	For instance, the standards for honey must be consistent with standard for honey under the Codex Alimentarius of the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization.
	It comes in slowly.
	It's on honey first.
	What's the honey thing?
	Okay, lawmakers are proposing...
	People put in corn syrup, they do all kinds of stuff too, because there's not enough honey to go around.
	Finding good honey is an art.
	Well, of course.
	Well, here it is.
	Lawmakers are proposing that the DATCP, no idea what that is, be required to promulgate...
	What does that mean, promulgate?
	We kind of reproduce and get bigger.
	Oh, like government.
	Promulgate rules that establish standards for products sold as honey and standards for the testing by private laboratories of samples submitted by persons who wish to sell honey produced in the state of Wisconsin as certified honey.
	It's beyond the point.
	It's all just kind of starting.
	Here, milk and milk products.
	This is from the USDA. Well, they're going to go out of their way to outlaw raw milk done by the actual clean dairy farmers.
	Yeah, well, you can follow it all as the USDA announced a public meeting to provide information and receive comments on agenda items and draft U.S. positions that will be discussed at the ninth session of the Codex Committee on Milk and Milk Products.
	It's all starting.
	Codex was created in 1963 by two United Nations organizations, Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization.
	Does that not tell you enough when the WHO is involved?
	Yeah, the WHO is, there's something wrong with them.
	Yeah.
	So you can take a look at those links at your leisure at noagendashow.com.
	So, you know, that was kind of like, oh, well, you know, kind of expected that to happen.
	There's still, you know, a lot about the crotch bomber.
	What I did kind of stumble into, and I was only basically reading the newspapers over the past couple days, whatever the, it was the chronicle.
	That was delivered to the hotel room.
	Really looking at the two main Gitmo Nation stories, one is about Blackwater.
	The judge, of course, dismissed Blackwater from any wrongdoing in the killing of 17 Iraqis in 2007.
	Iraq has gone nuts.
	And so all these Iraqis or family members are now bringing civil suits against Blackwater, and they're really pissed off about it, as is whoever the Iraqi government is and whatever they are doing.
	They apparently are also angry.
	And the other story was, and I'm going to try and pull these two together, about these eight kids that allegedly were killed by CIA agents in Afghanistan.
	Did you read about this at all?
	No not at all.
	So this was apparently a couple of weeks or a couple of months ago, and of course the story is very sketchy, but the Afghanis in this town or village are claiming that CIA agents actually pulled teenagers out of their beds, dragged them out, and executed them in the street.
	And right next to it, of course, is the story about the eight CIA agents who were blown to smithereens, In their highly secure compound, which now, as it turns out, was actually, by some accounts, a CIA informant.
	Yeah, a paid informant.
	Yeah, double-crossed them.
	So, you know, there's a tit for tat.
	I don't believe that entirely, but that's the way it's being presented in mainstream media.
	So, yeah, this stuff, it's just like...
	It was something funny, though, that I've been following.
	And at first I was like, this is...
	I was actually like, oh, this is bullcrap.
	Yeah, you're rubbing off on me.
	Yay!
	But if you read through the reports...
	Every single time NATO or the forces nail some Taliban, it's always 30.
	Have you noticed this?
	I've noticed.
	Not until now, but now that you mention it, I think I maybe have seen it.
	Well, so I have a, and this is from Security Crank, which I thought you probably should read this from time to time.
	So going back to 2000, here's it, how far back does this go?
	Well, just in the past year.
	December 7th, up to 30 suspected militants were killed in a NATO airstrike on a Taliban hideout.
	And now from the Chronicle on December 4th, airstrikes in two areas of the Mauman border region killed 30 suspected militants.
	On November 4th, the military said the troops have killed 30 more militants.
	August 31st, at least 30 bodies of suspected Taliban fighters were recovered.
	Maybe it's the same 30, they just keep dragging.
	No, no, no.
	I don't think so.
	And it's all different publications.
	So Calgary Times, on July 4th, the attack included attempted suicide truck bombing of the base on the Zirok district of the southeastern...
	Patitka Province, as many as 30 Taliban insurgents might have been killed.
	This is the Ministry of Truth, essentially, what is happening here.
	And they just take this number, 30, because I guess it sounds good.
	And even in Yemen...
	February 3rd, Saleh urged the leaders not to give refuge to militants and help the states fight against al-Qaeda by turning them in.
	A security official told Reuters authorities had detained 30 suspected militants in a renewed campaign.
	Wow, that's an incredible find.
	It's all 30.
	Well, that makes no sense.
	No, it doesn't!
	Who are they kidding with this nonsense?
	The title of the article is Winning the War, 30 Taliban at a Time.
	That's great.
	Every single article.
	We should start paying attention to this.
	It always seems to be 30.
	It's code of some sort.
	Huh?
	It's code.
	It's coded.
	It's a coded message.
	When you use the word 30, that means there's something in that message that is like an order or who knows what.
	No, I think it's just, you know, they're just spouting some kind of BS. I'm telling you it's code.
	It's a coded message.
	Speaking of coded message, so this movie Avatar has now done $1 billion.
	Yeah, well, I'm glad that, you know, but Cameron, you know, he gets another shot at it because, you know, if this movie would have flopped in the movie, you know.
	But, John, I'm really worried about this.
	And I said it kind of flippantly on the last show.
	But this whole thing with flickering images and polarized glasses, I think this is a mind control thing.
	And the first thing you're programmed to do is to make your friends go see this.
	And do you feel any different after seeing the movie?
	No, I don't, Adam.
	Why do you ask?
	I'm telling you, this movie came out of nowhere.
	Was there like a pre-hype that I missed somehow?
	I mean, like years of hype?
	Years and years?
	But it was being heavily promoted for about two weeks on TV, on talk shows.
	Yeah, well, for a couple weeks, but to do a billion dollars in two weeks?
	They definitely have the word-of-mouth thing going on, because people...
	I mean, everybody...
	Now, of course, we panned the movie.
	I think we're the only people in the world who...
	I haven't even seen it, nor do I intend to, because I don't think this 3D stuff is good for your head.
	I'm telling you, this is programming.
	All I know is this.
	I said I was going to go see the movie, IMAX 3D version, and I got tweets, and I got Skype IMs, I got Leo, send me a note.
	Everybody was like, you're going to love it!
	See?
	Exactly!
	This is what I'm talking about.
	There's something about this, I don't trust it, subliminal messages, there's stuff going on here.
	But I haven't, you know, I don't know if I recommend it.
	I mean, the subliminal message would be to recommend the movie.
	I mean, because that's how you get out of debt, right?
	Okay.
	So the subliminal message, tell your friends to go see the movie.
	It's a possibility that that exists, but all I know is that the entire family which saw the movie were all complaining about it.
	A hokey, shallow, bogus storyline cartoon characters that weren't very interesting.
	And a couple of mistakes.
	We thought about this the other day, where the guys are different heights, it seems.
	And meanwhile, everybody else is going on and on.
	And again, I reiterate what I said last show, which is Tom Hartman.
	Tom Hartman.
	Tom Hartman.
	Tom Hartman, the left-wing commentator, says, this is probably the greatest movie I've ever seen in my life.
	Left-wingers, Leo's left of center, and other people that are liberals tended to like this movie more than anybody.
	I think they're more susceptible to the polarized subliminal messages.
	Well, if you think it's the greatest movie you ever saw in your life, so here's the joke of it.
	We're watching one of these guys go on about this movie, and then we turned, we're flipping around the channel, we found Wall-E. Which is that cute movie with the little robot.
	Oh, yeah.
	And realize that WALL-E... It's the same movie.
	Well, it's not the same movie.
	It has actually more...
	It's deeper.
	It's like, you know, even though we're all looking at true cartoon characters, the WALL-E movie is actually...
	A ten-time better, it's much, well, it was successful, too, but it's actually a much better movie, and it's the same kind of dystopiac situation and the rest of it, but it's funnier, that's for damn sure.
	Well, there's something going on with this, and just when I saw this come over the wire this morning, I was just like, you know, this is weird.
	This is really weird.
	Of all the movies that have come out, and yeah, of course there was a couple weeks of massive hype, but what up with that, dawg?
	This is weird.
	$1 billion in receipts.
	That's $350 million in the U.S. alone in two weeks' time.
	Either that or the fluoride and the lithium in the water has really kicked in.
	Because it just makes no sense.
	It just makes no sense.
	This is record-shattering, is it not?
	Yeah, the thing is definitely setting the world on fire.
	And if you don't go see it, I will admit, even though I've been programmed to recommend it, you're not missing anything.
	I will say that on Spanker Vision in the hotel, I saw Men Who Stare at Goats with George Clooney.
	Oh, I've wanted to see that.
	It's funny because it's not even really a movie.
	It's a true story.
	And it's the account of...
	Shall I just spoil it for you right away, just so you know what's going on?
	Yeah, go for it.
	We should make a pact on this show.
	If you're going to listen to No Agenda Anybody...
	We're going to spoil all the movies.
	We're just going to tell you this story.
	You know, we're not going to, oh, you know, we don't want to save the ending just in case.
	Who cares?
	All right, good.
	I think that's a great pact.
	So, yeah, it's long and the short of it is it is the story of a journalist who stumbles upon this fantastic story of these psyops super warrior soldiers who were trained, apparently, in a it's long and the short of it is it is the Who cares?
	In psychological warfare, and they could do things such as stop a goat's heart just by staring at them.
	And it was kind of like a sidetrack to the CIA MK Ultra project.
	So the guy, essentially, he writes this incredible story about everything that happened to him.
	And they're cloud-busting.
	George Clooney is busting up clouds over him, which you and I know is absolutely possible with Orgone Energy.
	I've done it.
	Come on, you can do it too.
	Everyone can do that if you just focus a little bit.
	And one of the things that he comes across is in Iraq, actually, 2003, which is funny because I was in Iraq in that very same period.
	Is they've locked up enemy combatants and we're playing Barney for them 24 hours a day, the Barney song.
	So at the end of the story, which starts off with, you know, this story is more true than you'll ever believe...
	The guy writes up the entire story, sends it off to all the newspapers, all the television stations, and the only part that they actually use is the Barney story, which you'll recall probably, right?
	You recall that there was a report on that?
	No, I don't remember that.
	Yeah, we were subjecting military enemy combatants to listening to Barney 24 hours a day in their cell with strobing lights.
	But it's a good story.
	About the ninja warrior.
	No, the Jedi warriors of the U.S. Armed Forces.
	Yeah, well, Clooney does some of the most off-the-wall stuff.
	Yeah, but it's always the true stuff.
	Yeah, well, he did the one, and he also did the story of the guy who ran the Gong show, which was really a great movie, by the way.
	Yep.
	What's his name?
	Barnett?
	I can't remember his last name of the guy.
	But he claimed to be a CIA assassin.
	Yeah.
	Well, there you go.
	I love Clooney.
	No, I mean, he's unbelievable.
	He's spot on.
	So...
	Let's see.
	Back to the...
	Well, what else?
	Do we have anything else?
	Well, yeah, I got tons of interesting little things.
	Oh, by the way, you're talking about the Iraq situation.
	You kind of mentioned the...
	My son noticed something.
	He corresponds with people.
	He says he knows a couple of Marines that are in Iraq, and he says they're...
	And then he did some research, and he says that at West...
	And he's got a friend at West Point, and he says that West Point...
	Some time ago, stopped teaching strategies and tactics, warfare tactics, and started teaching and pushing everyone toward logistics, and that the entire army, and according to one of his Marine friends, who's bitching and moaning that he's not out there fighting, he's stringing Ethernet cable as his job, is all the fighting has been turned over to Blackwater.
	And all the Army and the Air Force and Navy Marines, all they do is the logistics, making sure that these guys get their, you know, everything.
	Yeah, they've actually switched it around, whereas the Z, as they're now known, or Blackwaters of the World, where they actually used to do all the logistics, now they're doing the actual fighting, because those guys are snorting coke with dewormer in it.
	Well, the other thing is, apparently, when a Blackwater guy gets killed, it doesn't show up as a casualty of an army guy.
	Nor does it show up as an actual troop in the theater.
	Think about that.
	I mean, we talk about sending 30,000 or 40,000 troops over to Afghanistan.
	You know, they're just there for logistics.
	There's probably 200,000 consultants who are working it.
	It's a total accounting trick.
	Well, not only that, but it's obviously we've outsourced the war.
	We don't go to war anymore.
	We just kind of manage it.
	Yeah.
	And do you think that there are some companies profiting from it outside of the obvious?
	Please.
	That's a scam.
	It is a scam.
	Yeah.
	War is a racket, someone important once said.
	Was it Butler or the guy who...
	I think it was Butler.
	He's Smedley Butler.
	He's the guy who broke up the plot to dethrone Roosevelt.
	And he wrote a book called War is a Racket.
	Another book we've got to read.
	Yeah, we have to get a hold of that book and read it.
	Here's something that didn't quite make it for last year's list.
	Of course, we had Man of the Year, Helicopter Ben Bernanke.
	We had CIO of the Year, Vivek Kundra.
	It couldn't get any better, although it was just a little bit too late.
	In Forbes magazine, Company of the Year.
	Oh, yeah.
	Unbelievable.
	How did this happen?
	Dare you take a little guess there, John?
	Could it be?
	And they've got this picture of, I guess, the CEO, and he's sitting there with some candy corn.
	I'm just going to call it candy corn.
	And the guy doesn't look healthy.
	He just looks ill.
	It really doesn't look good at all.
	And it's just this big masturbatory story about how fantastic they are.
	And forget all their $44 billion market cap value and their $7.3 billion of seeds and seed genes, which they sold in 2009.
	It's just like, oh, these guys are great.
	They're awesome.
	And was it The Planet vs.
	Monsanto?
	The Mark once again.
	Yeah, The Planet vs.
	Monsanto is the title of the article under Company of the Year.
	I'm sure you all can't wait to read it in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	It's just unbelievable.
	I mean, it doesn't matter what we say or what we do.
	It's like we can bitch and moan all we want about Bernanke, about Monsanto, about Vivek Kundra.
	We've uncovered quite a bit, which wasn't actually our uncovering.
	We're just kind of passing on the news.
	Yeah, no, we're consolidating the news that's out there and then deconstructing much of it, which is obviously, you know, slanted.
	That's all.
	Anyone can do it.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, the great thing is, is that we do have a certain effect.
	I want to read a letter from, I got this, it just showed up in the mail.
	And now a long distance dedication.
	John C. Dvorak brings it to you.
	Dear John and Adam.
	Do the voice, man.
	Dear John and Adam, I'm a 17-year-old listener from Saginaw, Michigan.
	Oops.
	Paper's stuck.
	Is that anywhere near Detroit?
	Saginaw?
	I think it's near Dearborn.
	I'm not sure.
	I remember seeing it on a map.
	I can't say where.
	First off, I'd like to say my mom used to work for a local PBS station at Delta College, WDCQ-19.
	WDCQ-19 in Michigan.
	Delta College.
	I've been to many upon many of their pledge drives.
	One thing I would always remember telling my mom is that she never sounds the same on TV as she did in real life.
	Our family eventually called it her TV voice, which is what you just did, which is when she went on to ask people for money to support quality public broadcasting.
	The clips you played of how time the phone ringing is in the background reminded me of how shots of people answering the phones were sometimes previously recorded.
	Yeah.
	When there was a bad rush of ringing or sometimes the entire pledge drive was pre-recorded so they didn't have to come to work after hours or on the weekends.
	I'm perfect.
	Secondly, I'm in an online high school sociology class.
	I'm pretty sure you're both familiar with online classes, but blah, blah, blah.
	They're an alternative if you're a fast learner or dumb.
	Okay.
	I've been listening to Noah Jenner before I started taking sociology online this semester, and a lot of things my teacher in our textbook discussions has me in outrage.
	It seems as though they're trying to either desensitize or at least acquaint students with ideas now so they're more familiar and more accepting of them later.
	My example right now is a population control presented in Chapter 16 of my textbook, and he's got a PDF of it.
	Oh, cool.
	Send that to me.
	I want to put that in the show notes.
	It is presented to me as a necessary way to ensure that our world doesn't get overcrowded with people.
	But the kicker here is that our teacher opened up a discussion board posting, essentially a forum with the topic, I wonder if the USA will ever need to pass a law to limit the number of children a couple can have as they've done in China.
	I think that teachers have opened the door to teaching population control as a sensible thing for the entire world to do because, let's face it, we all live in this world and we don't want to have too many people here with us.
	Oh.
	Using the knowledge I've obtained in the morning, my teachers told me that I am a radical and very opinionated student.
	Oh, Jesus!
	Give yourselves a pat on the back for knowing you've saved another child from media distractions and government plots to control the population.
	Yes!
	In the morning!
	A big in the morning to you.
	What's his name?
	That's a good question.
	I'll dig up his name from the...
	How about our executive producer for this program, Joe?
	Hey, Joe.
	I don't know where that came from.
	Hey, Joe.
	Hey, Joe C. Dvorak.
	Who's our executive producer for this episode?
	Today's executive producer, Adam.
	is Kevin Liang, L-I-A-N-G, from Richmond, British Columbia.
	Okay.
	Came up with $250, and Kevin is our executive producer, and he can use this on his bio.
	On his resume.
	So no associate executive producers for this week?
	No, just him.
	He's the one.
	It's a fine start to the new year.
	Kevin Liang, thank you very much.
	Indeed, put it on your resume.
	We'll vouch for you.
	You can even add our e-mail addresses, if you will, and, of course, it'll be in the show notes for episode 162 of No Agenda at noagendashow.com.
	And just clip this little bit out, in fact.
	Clip it out, and that is an MP3 file.
	Of course, it's probably pronounced Liang.
	People should send a pronunciation guide with their donations.
	Especially for us.
	So we don't get it wrong.
	Okay, let me go find the...
	The child is the young 17-year-old, the youngster's name.
	Anyway, so what else do we got going on while I search?
	Well, I can take us over to Gitmo Nation East, to Ireland for a moment, as 2010 is a brand new year for them, and of course, brand new laws always happen in the new year.
	Oh, I'm sorry, Brian Clark is the youngster's name.
	We've saved him.
	Saved him.
	Saved yet another child from destruction.
	Yeah, from him and who knows.
	Okay, go on.
	Sorry.
	As of January 1st, 2010, the new Irish blasphemy law becomes operational.
	What?
	Yes, blasphemy is now a crime punishable by 25,000 euros, which is about a million dollars.
	The new law defines blasphemy as publishing or uttering matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby intentionally causing outrage amongst a substantial number of adherents of that religion with some defenses permitted.
	So that means the life of Brian is now banned in Ireland.
	I guess so.
	This is crazy.
	This is crazy.
	That is crazy.
	What century are the Irish living in?
	And who are they appealing to with this law?
	Oh, let me guess.
	Duh.
	Yeah, I can tell you exactly who they're appealing to.
	That would be the Muslims.
	You mean the same kind of Muslims that tried to kill that guy in Denmark just the other day?
	Yeah, so they say, right?
	He attempted to get into the cartoonist's house and shoot him?
	Yeah, and I guess the cartoonist had a safe room.
	Now, the problem, of course, is that with this happening in Ireland, which is now a part of the United States of Europe, I can only presume that this will either be outlawed by the Starfleet Command in Brussels, or it will be made into a general law across the entire states.
	Oh, it's going to be made into a general law.
	You can count on that.
	I mean, let's face it.
	For one thing, Brussels is a, I mean, Belgium is being taken over by Muslims as it is.
	Yeah.
	So they're going to, you know, institute this.
	And then, you know, everything, every time anyone looks cross-eyed, it's going to be a blasphemy.
	So there you go.
	So back to this crotch bomber.
	Okay.
	So I've been looking at everything this last few days since the last show, and I'm going to probably continue to do this because I've run into more and more.
	Ever since you're kind of pushing the war between Obama and the CIA. Yeah, which I do have a couple of things to talk about, but yeah.
	And I've been reading more and more about it because it's like out in the open and there's CIA people writing articles and columns and op-eds all over it.
	Did you read that?
	Are Presidents Afraid of the CIA? Did you read that article?
	Probably.
	Ray McGovern wrote this?
	No, I didn't read that one.
	Where'd that appear?
	On ConsortiumNews.com.
	Tell us about it.
	Well, he goes into this real long...
	It's a good article, and of course he knows a lot because he was in the CIA for 27 years, served under nine CIA directors, and in all four of the CIA's main directorates, including operations.
	And he's the co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, acronym VIPPS. Or VIPs.
	And I'll just give you the opening.
	So he really takes his opening paragraph.
	In the past, I've alluded to Panetta and the Seven Dwarfs.
	Now this, of course, is referring to CIA Director Leon Panetta.
	Seven of his moral dwarf predecessors, the one who sent President Obama a letter on September 18th asking him to reverse Attorney General Holder's August 24th decision to reopen the criminal investigation of CIA interrogations.
	And so he uses that to take it all the way through to CIA essentially at least being involved in the assassination of JFK. And he says, you know, it's like literally that after, who was it, Truman?
	Yeah, Truman.
	Didn't he start the CIA? Well, they had a military OSS or whatever it was, and then they transferred slowly.
	I think it was probably Dulles, Alan Dulles.
	Oh, Dulles, yeah.
	So the Dulles brothers, of course.
	And if you have not read Legacy of Ashes, please do.
	It's been corroborated by my contacts as being absolutely true.
	So, you know, this all goes back to the Bay of Pigs, etc.
	But he's really saying it's like every single president has just been afraid of the CIA. And now with Obama, the guy is like, it's laughable.
	It's laughable how afraid he is.
	So, yeah, so that's a good article.
	That's why they have the Salafis and all these other characters showing up.
	You know, the fact that his security is breached time and time again.
	Yeah, including just recently in Hawaii when a CIA plane breached the airspace and he was rushed away into safety under the guise of something...
	Right, and then you also see a lot of candid photos of him in a Hawaii trip.
	There's one that's floating around the European press of him licking a Hawaiian ice.
	An ice cream, yeah.
	Well, it's not an ice cream.
	They actually have the shaved ice there.
	Shaved ice, yeah.
	Quite interesting.
	Anyway, then he's chewing on that.
	And, I mean, the camera is essentially, when you take a picture of a...
	If you can take a picture, you've got a laser sight scope.
	Yeah, you've got direct line of fire.
	And that's kind of the idea.
	So there's all these pictures of him doing this and that.
	I mean, they had pictures of memories running on the beach and, you know, all these other things.
	So anyway, so I figure that they're...
	Okay, let's assume that this war between Obama and the CIA is actually taking place.
	Let's re-look at...
	And so Obama, of course, isn't helping matters much because he's trying to isolate them, but he has no control.
	So...
	So one of our listeners said that maybe that this crotch bomber thing was...
	Because there's two pieces of discrepant information that's floating around.
	Alex Jones is pushing it the most.
	But the guy who is saying it, and I guess there's other people that have corroborated the fact that there was an Indian man...
	Yeah, who was at check-in and is reported to be his CIA handler got him on the plane because he didn't have a passport.
	Right.
	Now, we know from Ghana accounts, we not only know he had a passport, but they have the passport number in these articles out of Africa.
	The Africans are saying this is bullshit.
	He had a passport.
	And it went through their IQQS system, whatever it was we talked about on the last show, which checks with the database right there from the boarding pass scan if there's a passport number that corresponds with the ticket.
	And all that was said.
	Right.
	But maybe there's a little switcheroo that took place here.
	In other words, and by the way, at the end of the encounter, apparently the supposed bomb-sniffing dogs came in and found a bomb on the plane, and another Indian guy, this guy in his 30s, was arrested and taken out of the airport.
	Yeah, we haven't heard anything about him.
	And we never heard anything more about that deal.
	I mean, there's a lot of speculation of what that might be all about.
	But let's take a look at it from the perspective of who got hurt by this incident.
	The CIA did.
	Yeah, because Obama came out and basically said systemic failure in the intelligence community.
	He thinly veiled the fact that the CIA had failed.
	So, let's assume that this thing was to get the CIA, and the Indian guy was not a CIA guy at all, and let's start looking at it from the perspective that Obama has decided to do.
	If you want to look at something, go look at Indian American...
	In the Obama administration, just Google how many Indians, besides our friend Vivek Kundra and Chopra, who neither one of them have either the skills or the creds to be in those jobs.
	But start looking around and you'll find an inordinate number of Indians in the Obama administration.
	And Hillary Clinton, before she became Secretary of State and before she even ran for President, was extremely tight with the Indians.
	Look up Hillary Clinton and Tata and some of these other groups that were outsourcing.
	She actually has a piece of one of them that was an outsourcing operation and she's partly responsible for all of our jobs going to India.
	There's this Indian connection.
	The Indians have a number of intelligence agencies, and one of them is the most important one.
	It's called RAW Research and Analysis, and they're the covert, outside-the-country version of the CIA. And there's all kinds of very strange stories about RAW. And is it possible that Hillary set up, and somebody set this up,
	and maybe Obama had nothing to do with it, starting to use the Indians, Wow, you know, that would make a lot of sense, certainly, if you see what's happening in Pakistan, which without a doubt is, you know, arch enemy of India.
	And right, we're being slowly taken.
	And by the way, traditionally, India's never been our friend.
	I mean, they speak English and they do this, but they've always been allied with Russia.
	And we should never forget that.
	And the Pakistanis, we always allied with them because of anything other than the fact that it was an interesting place to be.
	There's a lot of talk now on the Indian press.
	You should start reading that.
	And the Pakistani press in particular, which is always slamming them about how the Indians are like, you know, they might even want to go to war with China.
	So anyway, the Chinese are left out on the ledge here, and the CIA seems to be cut short.
	And the other thing that came up in my research is that apparently the Indian Raw, their CIA, is really seriously moving into Afghanistan to do our bidding.
	And so now we have this, you know, the death of these CIA guys, whether it has anything to do with a make-good on them killing some kids, which I doubt.
	It could be the Indian CIA killing our guys and taking over the job that our CIA apparently...
	I can see the Indians are good at selling stuff.
	We can do this job as well as anybody.
	You can trust us.
	We'll marginalize the CIA, help you marginalize the CIA. Here's a good idea.
	And anyway, so the guy at the counter is an Indian, and if he's with Raw, he could go back, you know, and go have a meeting and flash some credentials and say, we've got to get this guy on the plane.
	And the reason you want to get him on the plane without his passport, even though he has one, and maybe the number on the ticket is different, is so it goes through the system and a red flag doesn't appear.
	And so then he goes all the way over to Detroit, and they say, well, the system failed.
	And yeah, it failed because the guy never actually showed his passport.
	It's possible that if he did show his passport, the system wouldn't have failed and they would have been stopped from the flight.
	Meanwhile, the CIA gets blamed for all this, even though there's a lot of screwiness going on.
	I think they're being set up.
	But my understanding, and what I've always supposed, is that the Clintons are actually in bed with the CIA, so why would she want to undermine them or put them on the sideline, or has the Clinton...
	I don't know, it just feels weird to me.
	Well, once she didn't get the job as president...
	She may have turned on them.
	And she may not have been really the one that was involved.
	It may have been just Bill.
	Yeah, Bill in the bushes.
	Hmm.
	And this is her way of getting back at that, too, possibly.
	I mean, there's something screwy going on.
	And the fact that there's two Indians involved in this story out of the blue, one at the ticket counter and one afterwards who apparently had a bomb or something.
	And by the way, you know, if you were going to set some crazy scheme up, it would be nice to have a second device in the plane that really wasn't a bomb at all, but just a bunch of pieces that would lead you to believe, you know, in other words, you know, evidence, you know, like throwing a matchbook down by a crime evidence, you know, like throwing a matchbook down by a crime scene that's from I'll tell you one thing, though.
	Just looking at President Obama and his appearance when, of course, he spoke before the public twice from Hawaii, man, he looked ragged.
	He looked like he'd been up all night and there was all kinds of crap going on.
	Not just a guy whose vacation was interrupted yesterday, For something potentially bad that happened.
	He looked really, really, really tired and downtrodden almost.
	Did you notice that?
	Yeah, and his hair is turning gray again.
	This may be number two Obama.
	We don't know for sure if it's the right guy.
	Well, that's very interesting, and RAW is indeed a very interesting organization.
	You don't read a lot about them, at least not in Western press, but I like it.
	I like what you're saying there.
	Yeah, and it would make sense because of our outsourcing thing, and Hillary was the big outsourcing nut.
	Yeah, she had the, here it is, I found the article.
	LA Times cited, Clinton's free trade advocacy is hitting labor where it lives.
	She has a very cozy relationship with Indian outsourcing firm displacing American workers.
	Is that the one you're talking about?
	Yeah, that's one of them.
	This has been going on for a number of years, and nobody seems to care.
	I mean, the Democrats are supposed to be pro-labor.
	Yeah, they're pro-labor in India.
	It's not helping anybody here.
	I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous.
	But there's, you know, what's going to happen if this is actually taking place, somebody's going to get killed.
	Sorry to laugh, but yeah, someone important is going to get offed.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	So it's going to be interesting to see who it is, because it's got to be a symbolic person that's deeply into this.
	Oh, wow.
	You mean on the U.S.-CIA side?
	Yeah, there's going to be somebody in the U.S., one of the government officials, something weird is going to happen to one of them.
	It's probably going to be the small plane crash or something like that.
	But it's going to happen.
	It's going to probably happen within the next few months.
	And it'll be telling because it'll be a message and you'll be able to deconstruct what the hell's going on by who it is that got killed.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah, I like that.
	I mean, I don't like it, but I like the theory.
	You want to put some names into the pool?
	Well, the logical ones would be Hillary.
	I mean, she's traveling a lot, by the way.
	Well, yeah, but she's...
	She's a really easy target because she's all over the damn place, you know, and anything can happen overseas.
	Oh, yeah.
	You know, you could be in one of those air buses.
	You never know what could happen, and then the damn French machines.
	It'd be in a smaller plane, probably a private jet, you know, going from Shanghai to someplace else.
	The next thing you know, they blew up.
	Okay.
	She's like at the top of the list.
	I don't think Obama is actually on.
	No, I don't think so.
	That's too risky.
	No, they learned their lesson with that.
	It would be a disaster.
	Yeah.
	So they can't do anything about him.
	But something could happen to his wife, or there could be...
	Because she's traveling like a maniac.
	She's almost as bad as Hillary.
	She's out and about constantly.
	But she's usually in Air Force One, wasting the taxpayers' money.
	So that's probably pretty secure.
	How about Rahm?
	You know, Rahm's expendable.
	He's not doing anybody any good.
	But if you want to send a message, that would be a good one, wouldn't it?
	Yeah, yeah.
	That would be interesting.
	Well, anybody on the staff.
	What kind of crackpots did you have for New Year's Eve festivities?
	And anyway, we'll see.
	I just don't know.
	I mean, it could be any...
	It could be the...
	Who knows?
	I mean, we'll find out.
	And I will say within the next two or three months, somebody important is going to meet an accidental death.
	Many Indian Americans on Obama transition team.
	I have from November 21st, 2008.
	Nick Rathod, Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
	R.T. Rai, agency review team on science, technology, space, arts, and humanities.
	Anjan Mukherjee, a managing director at the private equity firm Blackstone.
	Economics International Trade.
	Parag Mehta.
	Dude, there is a lot.
	I mean, you know, that is pretty interesting.
	I hadn't even noticed that, really.
	How?
	Dude, there's like 20 here.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's an inordinate amount.
	Compared to Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, Italians, Irish, there's no comparison.
	I mean, or blacks.
	It's just like they're really lots of Indians, and so they're getting real tight with India.
	We're now going to make India our friend.
	In fact, the first state dinner...
	That we had, you know, when they have this big...
	It was, of course, for India.
	...for a dignitary.
	It was the premier of India, and this was like a few weeks after they had the head of Israel over, and they didn't even want to meet with him.
	So there's a lot of messaging going on here, and cozying up to India is obviously high on the list of things that they want to do.
	And it's just going to irk the Chinese, the CIA, obviously, if there's any hanky-panky going on like that, I suspect.
	It's going to be an interesting few months.
	Wow.
	Well, yes indeed.
	Indeed.
	This is fascinating.
	I'm just reading about all of these Indians in the Obama administration.
	That's pretty amazing.
	And when you have guys like Vivek Kundra running the cybers, running the interwebs.
	Also an Indian is now the head of DARPA. Wow.
	So, anyway, but like I said, I don't know, maybe this is just my imagination, but it seems that something screwy is going on, and the thing is mainly because of this crazy crotch bomber.
	Well, I have certainly over the past year learned to look at things that are happening.
	The minute you see something, you've got to look, not over there, but...
	Don't look over here!
	Nothing to see here!
	Ooh, look at that!
	You've really got to start looking and seeing what's being covered up.
	We even talked about the Indian state dinner, that there was actually no news at all about the fact that it was the Indian Prime Minister who was over for the state dinner.
	All of the news, of course, at the time was about the party crashers.
	Which was probably another message right there.
	Yeah, I've always thought the party crushers were a message.
	Like, you know, basically, oh, you're going to have the head of Raw?
	Because I guess the prime minister, in a way, is, of course, the head of, you know, he stands above all that.
	Are you going to have the head of Raw over?
	Okay, let me just show you how close we can get to you.
	Let me just show you that for a second.
	Does that make sense?
	It fits your theory, doesn't it?
	Oh, yeah.
	No, it does.
	I think it's just to show you that...
	It's like the thing they...
	And it's something like the mafia does.
	They let you know that you're not safe.
	They give you a little message.
	Like sending you a letter with a couple of bullets.
	That's a favorite.
	Yeah.
	He's not safe.
	So they're just letting him know he's not safe, even though he thinks he is.
	And the Secret Service is probably working overtime.
	But, I don't know, I'd be a nervous wreck.
	That's why he probably looks haggard.
	I mean, he's probably like...
	Who needs this?
	There's another article I'll put in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com from RedState.com.
	Not that I frequent that often, but I did stumble across this.
	Could this actually be the greatest and potentially the deadliest of Obama's screw-ups so far, writes Eric Erickson.
	And it's all about the Yemen crotch bomber and how Obama basically blamed the CIA.
	And it's not a long article, but the assertions there are pretty much the same.
	And we're not the only people seeing this.
	At least, we're not the only people in alternative media who have their brains screwed on, who haven't been programmed by Avatar.
	Yeah, well, it's being, you know, it's being reinterpreted in all kinds of different ways, but I don't think anyone besides us has really nailed it.
	Yeah, well, we've been talking about the CIA war for a while, and, you know, I think we do have a little bit of inside information, more than most.
	I have to say this, if you start looking for the CIA war with Obama, people can go out there and Google this.
	There are lots of articles about the fact that there's a hissy fit going on between these two groups.
	And, uh...
	I don't know why, I just don't get...
	Because our other supposition is that the CIA is running all the drugs in the world, and unless Obama wanted to put a stop to that, even though it's probably how they fund many of their operations.
	Well, it's how the bailout was funded, the bank bailout.
	The United Nations basically came out with a report and said that $350 billion worth of drug money was seeped into the system to keep everyone afloat.
	I mean, this is not a secret.
	This is like the United Nations is even saying it.
	They're reporting it.
	Yeah, so I'm not sure what the...
	Well, let's face it.
	The CIA has a great racket going on.
	Yeah, well, who's the guys that worked with the CIA the best?
	Obviously, G.W. Bush.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the original guy, because he was ahead of it for a while.
	Yeah, he ran it for quite a while.
	And so he's comfortable.
	And I would assume his son would probably, even though he still seems like a big dummy.
	I give him a little more credit.
	But, you know, I guess he was comfortable.
	And Clinton seemed to be fine with where things were going.
	Well, Clinton was working for the Bushes.
	Yeah.
	Well known.
	So if you go before that, Kennedy was, you know, really...
	No, he was against it.
	He was against the CIA. And, you know, there you go.
	You know what happened to him.
	He had the, but he was also tight with the mob, which didn't do him any good.
	And, I don't know, it's just an interesting perspective to take, you know, that we have.
	It's essentially, it's almost like a secret police, but they're more of a, I don't think they spend that much time Diddling around...
	With actual law enforcement.
	Yeah, I don't think they're doing much.
	I don't know what they do, to be honest.
	They go out and dig up information, and the NSA probably does more information gathering than the CIA does, and they plant people here and there.
	I don't know.
	Well, we'll stay on that.
	Definitely, I do like the Indian angle, and I'm going to keep my eye out for that.
	Hey, what's happening in Canada, John?
	Where's that?
	What's happening in Canada is we have an executive producer from Richmond, B.C. Of course, besides the fact that most of our oil comes from there.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, they have the second largest reserve right after Saudi Arabia in Alberta.
	Are they suspending the government again?
	I didn't notice this.
	It's definitely not going to be in American news.
	We pay zero attention to what goes on in Canada.
	You know, I bet you if you asked 100 Americans who the Prime Minister of Canada was, they couldn't name Harper.
	Right.
	So Canadian Prime Minister's office officials said Parliament will be suspended until March 3rd.
	Isn't that just a vacation for them?
	A big one!
	With a budget being introduced the next day.
	This is weird.
	And I wish I knew more about it.
	Now actually, I'm looking around Google News.
	No, you have to read the Globe and Mail.
	Is that it?
	Yeah.
	I don't understand why we don't get the TV show The Nationals from the CBC. I mean, they play all this weird crap on Link, and they play all this weird crap on Free Speech TV. You know, like Democracy Now!, which is like, you know, pounding their left-wing drum like there's no tomorrow.
	And then all these other stations and cable and PBS, we get the BBC news, but what do we want the BBC news for?
	What about Canada?
	They're right next to us and they do all kinds of stuff up there.
	We don't get the CBC's National.
	The National is one of the best newscasts in the Northern Hemisphere.
	It's really good, except, you know, there's an hour-long news show instead of a half hour.
	It's like the news hour.
	It usually has boring features But their actual news coverage is quite good.
	Hey, now this is interesting.
	Maybe we can run it on the stream.
	This is very interesting, John.
	One of the companies that provides millimeter wave scanning technologies, RapidScan Systems, is an OSI systems company.
	And who do you think is on the board?
	Of OSI? Yeah.
	Who?
	Actually, founder of the company, Mr.
	Deepak Chopra.
	Deepak Chopra?
	Yeah, it's not the new age dude.
	Isn't that...
	No, it's Anish Chopra, I think, is his name.
	Well, maybe I got the wrong guy.
	Who is this guy, then?
	I don't know.
	Look him up.
	Google him.
	Hmm.
	Well, it's a Chopra.
	He probably has a son named Anish.
	The guy looks old.
	I think Chopra's like Smith.
	Well, let's see.
	There's probably, you know, a hundred million Chopras.
	So, there's something fishy about this, you know, this millimeter wave thing, that's for sure.
	Now they're going to make them.
	And there's also something fishy about why we weren't using them.
	You know, they have them in Chi-Pole and don't use them on Americans.
	It's weird.
	Or American travelers.
	Or travelers to the U.S. Anish, is that the guy's name?
	I think so, yes, Anish Chopra.
	He's the chief technology officer or something like that, or head of something or else, something or other.
	I'm telling you, it's like his son or something.
	I'm telling you.
	Here you go.
	I didn't see it on his bio.
	Here it is.
	What are the names of Deepak Chopra's children?
	It's Deepak Chopra's kid?
	Yeah, well, this is an older guy.
	If you look at OSI Systems, it looks like Anish is his kid.
	Huh.
	All right.
	Warrant some investigation.
	You know what?
	It's going to be a very busy year, John.
	Now that you've put me on this whole Indian cabal crap...
	It's going to be spending all my waking hours trying to figure...
	And this is tough because these names get complicated for, you know, a simple Western boy like me.
	You know, and you're right.
	It's like Chopra is a name like Jones.
	It's...
	Yeah, Gupta's the other one.
	That's the Smith, I guess.
	So one of the things people should do is you look up RAW, R-A-W-A, India, you know, agents.
	It's their intelligence agency.
	They actually have a bunch of them, just like we do.
	They don't get a lot of...
	There's two things I noticed, and there are some articles that refer to this.
	There's very...
	They get very little press, negative or otherwise.
	And most of the press they do get is quite negative, by the way.
	They do a lot of bombings.
	And the other thing that's...
	Given short shrift is the Indian mob.
	The mafia in India is a formidable and it gets very little write ups but you can start looking it up and you start finding the main players.
	They own pretty much Bollywood.
	And they also own the gold trading business which was you know they were making most of their money bringing in gold to sell to Indians.
	They were somewhat superstitious about gold.
	At extremely high markups.
	Now it's legal.
	Before it was legal to trade it.
	And that's one of the things they did.
	But look up the Indian...
	People should just read about the Indian mob.
	So if they own Bollywood, which of course pretty much owns Hollywood now, which is the entire reason why Slumdog Millionaire became Movie of the Year.
	It was a good movie, but hey, there were a couple other contenders.
	We talked about this.
	Come on in, boys.
	This is it.
	You know the movie business.
	The money is pretty much run by the mob.
	Wow.
	So how do you put the Mumbai terrorist attack into all of this?
	Where did that come from?
	There is a bunch of references to it.
	It's like a couple of different agencies in Pakistan.
	The other agency you have to keep an eye on is the ISI, which is the Pakistani CIA. And I don't know.
	I don't know where the Mumbai bombing comes in with this.
	It's a mess.
	Why can't it just be easy where we had spy versus spy, white hat, black hat?
	Just simple.
	Now we've got to Google all this stuff.
	Now it's getting complicated.
	So according to Steck, he says that the CIA hated Kennedy because of the way he screwed them over on the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
	Yeah, that's what I said.
	That's in that article about why presidents are afraid of the CIA. They actually dragged him into Dulles, dragged Kennedy into the whole plan.
	There was no way for him to get out of it.
	Truman actually wrote And it's in the Truman Library.
	He wrote an op-ed, which I don't think actually ran, but his handwritten notes are in there.
	And it's pretty clear.
	It's pretty clear what's going on there.
	Drew him into it.
	It's also suggested that Canada is closing their parliament until after the Olympics so not to draw attention away from these great games.
	Well, just before their Christmas break, opposition ministers of parliament passed a resolution demanding the government hand over all of its documentation on the Afghan controversy, or controversy, including uncensored versions of emails concerning the detainee issue that Colville sent to Ottawa during his term in Kabul.
	So there's something going on there, too.
	I don't know why we just don't get out of these situations.
	Because war is a racket, John.
	It's a racket.
	Yeah, you're right.
	And you know that the Queen of England controls Canada?
	This is well known.
	We've been through this.
	Okay, send your email to adamatmevio.com.
	But you are in the Commonwealth.
	The Queen controls you.
	The Queen of England.
	Alright, so what else we got on the agenda for depressing news?
	Well, actually, it's a piece of good news from Andrew McLaren from Australia.
	I was listening to the national broadcaster ABC Radio last week, and they had a special on podcasting.
	The only podcast they had time to mention was No Agenda.
	And that Adam Curry was the father of podcasting.
	This was on live radio across the country from Brisbane, Australia on Friday afternoon around 3.15pm.
	A potential audience in the millions.
	So we of course do hope that this has brought us millions more Australians listening to the program.
	And while I'm on that, why don't I bring you a bit of Australian news about a dude named Peter Spencer.
	Have you heard about Peter Spencer, John?
	No, of course not.
	So Peter Spencer is a victim, actually, of the Kyoto Protocol.
	And I could tell you exactly what's happening, but maybe if I just play this little clip, which lasts about a minute and a half, it kind of explains it.
	It is from ABC News, from the Australian Broadcasting Company.
	But the short version is he's not allowed to do anything with his 20,000 acres of land because, of course, you can't even clean up dead trees anymore, apparently, under some of these...
	These laws of the land, thanks to the Kyoto Protocol.
	The guy's been on hunger strike, this 61-year-old, I believe, Peter Spencer.
	He's sitting on a 10-foot pole.
	He has not had anything to eat for three weeks.
	And he's serious as a heart attack about bringing attention to this.
	Want to listen to this clip so we can get some info on this?
	Oh, yeah, do it.
	Okay, here we go.
	A Cooma farmer has put his life on the line to protest against what he calls the theft of land in the name of the environment.
	Peter Spencer is on the eve of his 25th day without food.
	He says he won't eat until farmers are compensated.
	Suspended on a narrow platform 10 metres above the ground, Peter Spencer is a man on a mission.
	The 61-year-old had his last meal of scones and jam three and a half weeks ago.
	I've got this ice water for you.
	It's going to be hot today.
	He's surviving on water, lemon juice and vitamins.
	For 15 years, Mr Spencer has been unable to graze 90% of his former fine wool property in the Cooma Monero district because of changes to state laws.
	Now the bank is threatening to foreclose.
	Property is sanctified in a civilised society.
	If we can't all see that, then I'll sit here until I rot.
	Under the Howard government, Australia claimed a 22% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions entirely through state-based native vegetation laws, which prevented clearing on properties like Peter Spencer's.
	No compensation was ever paid.
	Under the Rudd government, farmers say their grasslands and their soils will be the next big carbon sinks.
	Peter's lost the use of 90% of his property, the Commonwealth government.
	Okay, you get the idea.
	Yeah, it's pathetic.
	And Howard is a jerk, that guy.
	Yeah, and I love the spirit of this guy, though.
	He's sitting up there, and he kind of looks like the weird guy who had the auto-gyro helicopter-like plane in Mad Max.
	And he has a hat on, one of those floppy ear hats.
	And he's right.
	It's like when a civilization doesn't recognize ownership, property of your land to be able to do on it what you wish, then you're not a civilized society anymore.
	Remind you of anything?
	So I do just desperately love the Australians for how they get into this.
	And there's one of our producers who put together a whole page of videos, news reports, and news stories on this Peter Spencer.
	He's really getting some attention.
	This is what GetUp should be covering instead of only about man-made global warming and cap and trade.
	These guys should be all over this because this is the result of a 15-year-old climate change regulation.
	This is exactly what happens.
	Yeah, you won't be able to plant a tree in your own backyard.
	I mean, there's already talk about people banning home gardens.
	Well, that's where the Codex Alimentarius is totally going to help because you won't be able to grow anything organic unless you have a certificate from the Ministry of Organics.
	Yeah.
	Well, the guys who really get screwed are the small farmers who can't afford to go through the paperwork.
	It's never free to do any of this stuff.
	It's time consuming and it costs money.
	There's fees attached to everything.
	And so you screw yourself.
	It's ridiculous.
	You have to go underground, gray market.
	Turn into Russia.
	All right.
	So let's talk about how we plan on expanding this program in the new decade, John, or decade, as they say in the United Kingdom.
	Because the only way we're going to do it is by what people affectionately call begging for money.
	Yes.
	And let me thank some people that did give us some money after our last round of begging.
	And by the way, we've decided to restructure the show.
	I'm telling people now who are going to turn off the show because they don't want to hear this, is that we've restructured the show so the craziest stuff you've ever heard comes up right after the donations.
	Yes, I'm standing by.
	Wait a minute, is that my cue?
	Is it my turn yet, John?
	Am I ready to go?
	No.
	So we got some money from a number of people who gave us between 50 and 100.
	Ken Dusling of Stitzville, Ontario is up there in the cold country.
	Without a government.
	Without a government.
	He actually gave us 6543, which is kind of cute.
	Light Chow in Daly City gave us 5555.
	I guess he's been a listener for a while, Lai Chow and Daily City.
	Brian Rogers gave us a palindrome 50.05.
	And then we have...
	Let's see here.
	Let me save this one to the end.
	We have Kevin Liang from Richmond, B.C. Yes, our executive producer.
	And by the way, there's a great...
	Kevin, get yourself some burrowing owl cabernet and toast us.
	John Smith from St.
	Petersburg, Florida, gave us $133, and he made the point that his name is easy to pronounce.
	And he says, by the way, from 2002 to 2006, you have to imagine that you're named John.
	How many John Smiths are there?
	I was on the fucking no-fly list, and this crotch bomber wasn't...
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, I couldn't come into the country for two years without going through secondary and tertiary screening.
	It's crazy.
	Tor Lovskogen, L-O-V-S-K-O-G-A-N, from Bergen, Norway, gave us some money that seems to have been lost in the shuffle.
	Tim Humer, H-U-E-M-M-E-R, from Pelzer, South Carolina, says that his name was not mentioned, so he said, here's another $50.
	So maybe we shouldn't mention anybody.
	$100 here from...
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah.
	Okay, here we go.
	He's from Orange County, and he says, if you or Adam can pronounce my last name correctly, I'll double my donation, correct pronunciation.
	Ready?
	Okay, I'm set.
	Now, see, here's the joke.
	He didn't say that we had to identify the correct pronunciation.
	We just had to pronounce it.
	Right.
	So we win no matter what.
	Yeah, every iteration.
	It's Corey.
	I think it's Watillo, W-A-T-I-L-O, but it could be Watillo.
	Or Watillo.
	Well, you know, there's only one way to find out, John.
	There's only one way to find out the correct pronunciation, and that's to ask Apple.
	Here we go.
	Corey Wattillo.
	Wattillo.
	They got it to Wattillo.
	That's interesting.
	Wattillo.
	So I think it's Wattillo.
	Yeah, Corey Wattillo.
	Because he's in California.
	He's from Orange County.
	California's always pronounced things logically with a twist toward Spanish pronunciation.
	So Wadalo would be something you might say on the East Coast, but Watillo would be what you'd say on the West Coast if you were pronouncing it cold, as a cold pronunciation.
	I still say we win and we double down.
	Yeah, we do win because we did pronounce it unless it's something crazy like Vatilo.
	Vatilo!
	Like Wasilla.
	Then we got Daniel Jackson gave a $75.35.
	If we'd plug Floppyamacout.com.
	Floppyamacout, I like that.
	Floppyamacout, F-L-O-P-Y-A-M-A-C-O-U-T.com.
	It's an Apple-centric podcast with an Apple skit.
	I like that.
	Floppyamacout.
	Floppyamacout, boys.
	That's funny.
	You should see the artwork.
	And that's actually LarryLarmo33, who's in the chat room, and he's in Melbourne.
	Or is that Daniel Jackson?
	He's in Melbourne.
	Okay.
	Looks like a good show.
	I'm going to subscribe to this.
	That's Daniel Jackson's Melbourne show.
	He's in Australia.
	And then LarryLarmo33 gave us $61.75, and he said he wants us to get sponsors, and we should stop begging for money.
	Yeah, but let us just say it one more time.
	This is where you're wrong.
	That would be exactly the wrong thing to do.
	And what's funny is I hear people talking about sponsorship on the show, and I literally hear them say, you know, sponsors are great because that gives you, you know, it doesn't bother us because then we know, oh, it's the sponsorship message, so we're going to go do something else or surf the web or take a leak or whatever.
	Yeah.
	Don't you understand that it works perpendicular?
	If we can't bring sponsors of products you will actually buy, the sponsors aren't going to be there anymore.
	And besides that, we wouldn't be able to do 90% of the stuff we talk about.
	Yeah, because our first sponsor would be Monsanto.
	Well, of course, if Monsanto really wants to pony up, I'm all for it.
	You know, there's nothing like having company of the year just buy you out.
	Well, yeah, they're going to spend...
	Here's an example.
	Just 40 minutes ago, you said, I hate Enterprise.
	Now, you know, Mevio, one of its big sponsors is Enterprise.
	You're not sponsoring any of the shows I'm doing.
	Well, no, of course not.
	But they're certainly not sponsoring this one because I don't think that would have been appropriate to do.
	Right.
	And even if we got away with it, I can't then turn around and say, oh, by the way, get a great deal from Enterprise.
	Or at least I could because I like them, but you don't.
	So don't you see how this works?
	And there's one other thing.
	You want to talk about that email thread that was going on?
	Yeah.
	Go ahead.
	No, I don't know anything about it.
	Yeah, you do.
	It's like from Steven Pelsmarkers.
	Oh, Pelsmarkers, yeah.
	Why don't you summarize it?
	Yeah, Pelsmarkers...
	So he's been donating a lot of money, which we're highly appreciative of.
	Yeah, and he's from Vanderhoeven.
	So, no, isn't he from...
	Van Dam.
	He's from Zandam.
	Zandam, yeah.
	Zandam.
	And so, you know, I make a crack in saying, oh, he must have a man crush on us.
	And he's like, oh, you're insulting your listeners.
	I'm like, dude, you know, this is like humor.
	Nanu, nanu.
	Uh-uh.
	You know, get over it.
	But then, you know, you respond with a really long email, which was almost uncharacteristic for you, so I feel that he probably hit you with something there, John.
	Well, he, yeah, it is uncharacteristic.
	I tend to either write short essays to people or it's usually okay, you know, something very terse.
	I'm more known for that.
	No, what he did was he brought up the issue that crops up every so often.
	It's usually from people that just want to complain.
	And they say, you know, you guys are better off than most of your audience and then you're begging for money.
	As though we're supposed to be working for free as some sort of a public service.
	Yeah, the two are not related.
	Even PBS doesn't do that.
	I suppose you could go to public access TV and do a show for nothing because you're on an ego trip and you just want to be on the air because you have a great voice.
	But that's not the way we operate.
	We're commercial people.
	We don't do things just...
	We just don't do things for the ego.
	And if we can't prove that we are worth some donations...
	To be honest about it, I'll tell you right now, if we weren't getting...
	And we were just getting enough donations to pay for producing the show and keeping the lights up.
	And having a dinner or two, which we haven't done in ages.
	We haven't done that.
	People bitch about that, too.
	But anyway, the point is that if we weren't getting anything, we wouldn't be doing the show at all.
	No, not at all.
	No, we would have stopped.
	Yeah, because it's one of those things that, you know, you throw the stuff at, you know, we just haven't been getting enough traction.
	That's kind of interesting.
	And we haven't really put the screws to anybody to get more money.
	We just ask for donations, you know, at NoAgendaShow.com and Dvorak.org slash NA. And now the new...
	ChannelDvorak.com slash NA for all of our Eastern Bloc listeners.
	Yeah.
	So that's the point.
	So I've heard this before, where you guys are already, you get paid, you get money, you work for somebody.
	I mean, there's just this kind of weird undercurrent of resistance.
	You know what, John?
	No, John, why don't we just stop doing this show?
	Why don't we just stop for a week or two and then see how people like it?
	Let's just stop.
	Let's just shut the show down.
	Alright, don't pass anything.
	We'll stop.
	It's done.
	We'll just shut the show down and see how much fun is your Sunday morning going to be?
	How much fun is that Thursday morning when you're sitting at your computer pretending to work going to be if we're not on the air?
	How much fun is your commute going to be if we're not doing the show?
	Yeah, and you have to listen to people telling you to go see Avatar.
	And then you're actually going to go and then you're going to be programmed to tell your friends.
	You know, that's what we need.
	We need some subliminal, tell your friends to listen to this show, because actually, I still believe the way to get twice as much money...
	Is to get more listeners, yeah.
	...is to get twice as many listeners.
	And I think a lot of people are amenable to our...
	I don't think this show today, except for the CIA versus Obama material.
	Well, wait, wait.
	I haven't hit you yet, but okay.
	Okay.
	But anyway, the point is that I find that argument...
	Well, you guys, you already have a dollar in your pocket...
	It's to be lame.
	To be honest, I don't want to hear it.
	Yeah, we don't really insult anybody.
	In fact, I'd like to send out the thanks for some reason or other.
	I've been studying it.
	We get a lot of these $5 subscriptions.
	In a very random fashion, we'll get none for two days, and then there'll be a whole slew of them at once.
	I don't know if it's a function of PayPal or what it is, but I find it weird.
	The 27th, we had like $10.
	So here's what's going on in the chat room.
	Okay, Walrus says, I can live without this show.
	Okay, Walrus, turn it off now.
	You're banned from listening.
	Amber, let's see.
	You can live without anything.
	I mean, you can live without pears.
	You can live without apples.
	Do you want a world without apples and pears?
	You can live without cherries.
	I mean, so what?
	Shutting it down with that kind of attitude would probably drive me away.
	Now, I love it when people send me emails saying, I've unsubscribed.
	Oh, I'm so hurt.
	They should unsubscribe if they don't believe in capitalism and commercialism and paying someone for work that they do.
	Oh, you know what that sounds like, John?
	Communism.
	Atlas Shrugged.
	By Ayn Rand.
	See, now this is the problem.
	I blame Pelsmockers for that right now.
	Yeah, right.
	For the Atlas Shrugged thing.
	All right, let's move on.
	So the point is, just help us out and quit, you know, it falls on deaf ears to make some of these complaints, but to us it's just slightly annoying because it comes and goes and it's like, okay...
	You know, if you don't like the show, don't listen to it.
	We're not forcing anybody to listen to the show, and we're not forcing anybody to give us money.
	It's like, I want more transparency.
	Where's the money going?
	Well, it's going to hookers and blow, dude.
	What do you care?
	You know, when you buy a Mac, where's that money going, besides to China?
	By the way, where's the money going?
	I'll tell you where the money's going.
	It pays bills.
	Yeah, it does.
	It pays my rent.
	It pays bills.
	It really does.
	It pays bills.
	That's right.
	And hookers and blow.
	Actually, I used some of the money to buy a couple of website domains.
	We are going to...
	One of the stories that broke this last week was the TSA busted in on some blogger.
	Yeah, two bloggers.
	Two bloggers were busted by the TSA for sending out that message that has been public.
	It's basically a public domain memo because the TSA sent it out to 10,000 people.
	We're putting together a site I think?
	To begin a public movement to give bloggers the same shield laws that regular journalists have.
	There's no reason for this sort of thing to be intimidated by the TSA. And by the way, if it was true that the TSA threatened to put the guy on a no-fly list or not cooperating, is that what this is really amounting to?
	That the TSA is a bunch of thugs?
	And they're going to start strong-arming people with threats of being put on a list?
	Is that what the government approves of?
	Is that the policy of this agency?
	We want to know.
	When I walk down the street in San Francisco, I always have a whole wad of dollar bills and five dollar bills.
	You got to.
	At least I do.
	And I have a policy with giving money to people who are begging for money on the street.
	I've seen him do it.
	He generally gives everyone a five dollar bill.
	Not everyone.
	No, I have a policy, which I generally adhere to.
	First of all, women, I got to tell you, I have a soft spot.
	And when I've been brought up, when a lady asks you for help, you help her no matter what.
	That's just the way I was brought up.
	So if there's a female on the street begging for money, except for the one that dresses her cats up in Santa Claus suits, I can't give that one money.
	But if someone is performing, I can't.
	That's just crazy.
	God, crazy cat lady.
	I'm not going to give you any money.
	But if someone performs, I will always give them money because you're performing and then it's up to me to decide whether it was worth something and I'll determine how much.
	There's a right on Union Square, what's that beautiful little street that has the Italian restaurant?
	It has an English name, that street.
	Belden.
	No.
	Well, it'll hit me in a second.
	So there was this Susan Boyle-looking woman, and she's standing right in the middle of the street, and she's got her little boombox with CDs, and she's singing Ave Maria.
	She has the most beautiful voice I've heard.
	She's there a lot.
	Yeah, she's there all the time.
	She's got this old dude who's sitting in a chair next to the money box countenant, but it's okay, you know, because she's performing.
	An actual service is being performed, and I can determine whether I just want to listen to it for free or if I maybe want her to come back.
	And the way I know she'll be back eventually is if I'm going to drop some money.
	In New York...
	I love this approach.
	You can always get me with this one.
	Guy comes up to me.
	He looked a little bit like Sammy Davis Jr., I have to say.
	We were down in the village, Mickey and I. It's about 11.30 at night.
	And he says, Sir, excuse me, I'm going to tell you a joke.
	If you laugh at this joke, I would appreciate a contribution.
	And I can't remember what the joke was.
	Actually, it was a lewd joke.
	It was funny.
	I gave the guy five bucks.
	Because he performed.
	That's the way I see this show.
	So you don't always have to give.
	No, I gave him five bucks.
	So have you ever done what I usually do?
	You go up to the guy and you listen and you listen and you pull out a ten and you say, I'm giving you ten bucks if you stop performing.
	No, I'm not like that.
	Yeah, okay.
	You're a nice guy.
	That's why you do that all the time.
	Alright, here it is.
	The moment you've all been waiting for.
	John, get ready with your UFO sound effects.
	Earth is under threat of a catastrophic disaster.
	And luckily, luckily, Russian scientists are gearing up to avert it.
	According to Russia's space agency, an asteroid...
	This is mainstream media news.
	...named Apophis...
	Could hit the earth in the 2030s.
	Now that's the mainstream version of the news.
	If you go a little bit deeper into it...
	You mean to the Russian news media?
	Yeah, where the Pravda comes from.
	The truth.
	It's a lot deeper, actually.
	And it looks like this thing is going to hit a lot sooner than the 2030s.
	In fact, it could come within the next five to six years.
	And I'll put a couple of links in the show notes.
	About the disinformation or really the untruths that NASA spreads about what they're seeing through their telescopes versus what the rest of the world is seeing.
	And you just got to question why NASA is just not truthful about this stuff.
	Particularly about, you know, they call it a comet.
	That's what NASA says.
	Oh, it's a comet.
	But it's really an asteroid, which there's a huge difference between the two.
	And this thing is...
	There's a lot of this happening right now.
	Remember, was it Venus that was struck by an asteroid?
	No small one, I might add.
	I think it was Mars.
	No, I think it was Venus, actually.
	I think you're talking about Mars.
	I think it was Venus.
	I think Jupiter was also hit by...
	Maybe it was Jupiter.
	Yeah.
	Let me see.
	Was it Jupiter?
	Yeah, Jupiter.
	July.
	It was hit by a very large structure that entered its planetary zone.
	Despite everyone tracking all the stuff, no one could mention it.
	No one could predict it.
	They predicted it a few days in advance.
	Yeah.
	So we won't have time to get Bruce Willis up there on the asteroid if we only have a couple of days, dude.
	We need a little more time.
	Well, that's why a couple of these people are talking about how we should be spending more money on asteroid hunting rather than global warming crapola.
	Well, you also have to take into account that the sun has been almost inactive.
	They call it the deep solar minimum.
	Surely you know about this stuff.
	That's why it's been getting colder the last decade.
	It's right now in the Netherlands, I was reading in the news, coldest in 100 years.
	That doesn't quite jive with global warming.
	Coldest in 100 years.
	A new ice age is upon us.
	People are expecting difficulty in travel to Europe maybe up until February because of poor conditions.
	And that's just infrastructure because look at the United Kingdom.
	You can afford to go to Europe anyway.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Actually, the pound is...
	I think the...
	What was the euro?
	Maybe it was down a little bit.
	Yours is still $1.45 and the pounds $1.65 is too high.
	Yeah.
	So you call it mainstream news, but I'm not seeing it, John.
	I'm not seeing it on mainstream.
	I heard about it.
	It was on TV or something.
	I had some guy talking.
	He says, yeah, it's 1 in 40,000 chance of hitting the earth, and we're going to bomb it anyway, just to see if we know what we're doing.
	See if we can hit it.
	All right.
	And then this applies to you.
	Are you in Medicare?
	No.
	Don't you go.
	I was thinking about when I get older, I think I might, I don't know how, you know, I was asking, what is, I don't even, to be honest about it.
	You might want to look into it.
	What Medicare is.
	Well, I think it's when you're like retired and you don't have any gig and you're not getting any donations, then, you know, there's like, it's like a government sponsored program that still costs you 500 bucks a month.
	But the Mayo Clinic, Praised, of course, by our president as a national model for efficient health care, has said, you know what, we're going to stop accepting Medicare patients as of January 1st in its primary care clinics in Arizona because the government doesn't pay enough.
	There you go.
	There you go.
	Arizona is where all the retirees go.
	Exactly.
	Apparently now they're going there to die.
	Because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to death by their government.
	That's a report from Bloomberg.
	So, many physicians have said, I simply cannot afford to keep taking care of Medicare patients.
	And Medicare is about to be cut, if these bills actually come together and pass, by half a trillion dollars?
	400 billion, I think.
	Yeah.
	440, something like that.
	Yeah.
	You should find out what that's about, John.
	Are you a member of the AARP? Not yet.
	You can be.
	Aren't you eligible?
	Aren't you eligible like at 50?
	You're eligible at 55, I think.
	Yeah, well, why don't you become a member?
	There's all kinds of benefits.
	You can get into Avatar cheap.
	I don't get it.
	We don't get enough donations for me to afford it.
	Ah, okay.
	And then one more from Gitmo Nation.
	And by the way, we're not stopping this show to prove a point, ever.
	And we do have enough sustaining people to keep the show going at least twice a week.
	Three times a week.
	Are you getting messages?
	Are you like reading the chat room now?
	No, I'm not looking at the chat room.
	I know what the chat rooms are like.
	They're a bunch of, literally, they're mostly bipolar psychos.
	No, don't say that.
	Don't say that.
	Please.
	You're insulting the listeners.
	No, our listeners in the chat room are actually pretty good.
	I like our listeners.
	They've got a lot of great contributions.
	They don't sit there and just yap away.
	They've got some really good stuff.
	I disagree.
	This is a good chat room we've got going on.
	We've got good people.
	We've got good peeps, man.
	Stop that.
	They always do.
	Anyways, noagendashow.com or dvorak.org slash na or channeldvorak.com slash na to help us out for the next couple weeks.
	We'll start looking into the Indian connection, the raw CIA battle and outsourcing.
	And flying saucers.
	We've got no flying saucer story this week.
	Do you know that there are so many flying saucer stories that I decided not to do them?
	There were so many videos and sites.
	It's not flying saucers, it's flying pyramids.
	They were actually flying over the pyramids in Egypt.
	Flying pyramids, yeah.
	No, they were actually flying over the pyramids.
	It's amazing.
	But I looked at the video, and the video looked very real, but they added a soundtrack like...
	I'm like, John will never believe this one.
	I didn't even want to bring it up.
	But there's been tons and tons of sightings.
	Oh yeah, it never stops.
	And we're coming up in the next couple of months, after the snow clears, we'll have more crop circles.
	It's going to be a great year.
	Crop circles.
	It's going to be fantastic.
	All right, you had a little montage.
	Yeah, we're going to end the show, and then I'm going to play.
	I got 11 minutes of clips.
	Oh, nice.
	Last year, various clips.
	They're just short snippets from the various clips and quotes that we've collected.
	The only one I have that's missing, which is the reason I didn't do this in the last show, and I still have to go dig it up, but it's fine not there.
	I'll tell you what it is.
	It's Obama saying that as soon as he gets elected president, he's going to get us out of the Iraq War, and you can take that to the bank.
	Nice.
	And of course we don't...
	You couldn't find that one?
	No, I think somebody came into the house and ransacked the place and erased it.
	By the way, from the chat room, we buy your hookers.
	Be quiet, John.
	I'll hit you in the mouth.
	Which reminds me...
	Yes.
	The hit-in-the-mouth thing, you didn't plow it out.
	That's okay, it's in this clip coming up.
	Well, you know, this was a reasonably laid-back show, you know?
	It's like there wasn't a lot going on.
	People were just off a holiday.
	Most people were watching football.
	We don't make shit up.
	You know, we only report it as we see it.
	And I think the nugget for today's show, without a doubt, was your raw theory, and I like it, and we'll stay on that.
	Indeed.
	So coming to you...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Or with the CIA. People should go to Google and start looking it up and you're going to read a lot of articles and it's really interesting.
	Our timing's way off.
	Let's try that one again.
	So, coming to you from Kitmo Nation West in the minimum security containment cell, which I can't be in for much longer, actually.
	It's really coming down to the wire.
	Well, you know what's crazy is I have papers here that you have to sign as well.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, because half of No Agenda is produced from here, and you're half of No Agenda.
	You've got to sign some papers.
	Brother.
	I can hear your jaw dropping.
	What?
	Sometimes because I use the parking space.
	Oh, yeah, that too.
	We have important business parking facilities here at the Crackpot Command Center.
	So, yeah, if you don't mind.
	And then, I don't know, I've got to find a new place.
	Okay.
	Damn.
	Anyway, it's the new year, and I told you about my...
	Resolutions for 2010, working very hard on them, and you'll see some of that coming up in the next week or two, which also involves this program.
	So, for the first show of the new year in Gitmo Nation West, I'm Adam Curry.
	And I want to wish everybody a happy 2010.
	And let's hope that this next decade is not like the last miserable one, which, by the way, was the only time in the history of the stock market where a 10-year period took place where if you had invested at the beginning of the 10 years, you actually had less money at the end of 10 years of sitting on your money.
	We're letting your money sit in the market.
	Anyway, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll talk to you again on Thursday, right here on No Agenda.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yeah!
	That lady is a lunatic.
	What she's doing is a danger to society.
	You want to be visited every five years by somebody to talk about how you want to die.
	I think it's crazy this is in there, but your thoughts?
	But it's not in there.
	I mean, basically...
	It is in there!
	It's in the dingle bell.
	It's a benefit.
	First of all, Chris, Chris, first of all...
	So if 9-11 happened in a Web 1.0 world, terrorists are certainly in a Web 2.0 world now.
	If the people of America didn't create the problem, who created the problem?
	If the people of America didn't create the problem...
	You said the people of America didn't create the problem.
	So tell us who created it.
	Were the banks involved?
	Well, I would say this.
	This problem, there's so much blame to go around.
	And that's the problem with dressing with men and getting naked and showering with them.
	If one gets the flu, you all get the flu.
	Just like that.
	And people who are sick should actually wear masks at home.
	Because it will not put seniors in a position of being put to death by their government.
	It's absolutely run out of control, completely run amok.
	It's not going to work here.
	Amsterdam is a mess.
	Swelling of the brain?
	Brought on by measles.
	One thin September soon, a floating continent disappears in midnight sun.
	Brought on by measles.
	He smelled like alcohol, so I knew it wasn't real Santa.
	Because Santa doesn't drink alcohol.
	It happened because reality just became real.
	Thirty hours ago, Yuna Lee and I were prisoners in North Korea.
	Boxing is full of shit, man!
	I don't know what you think, but I think American Secretaries of State ought to be in the places of human misery around the world.
	We hit people in the mouth.
	So what's your story?
	You're pretty old.
	You're jealous.
	Old chicks are totally jealous of me.
	This is the Foreign Service of No Agenda, presenting the international clip of the week.
	The NBC store is selling Obama merchandise.
	NPR laid off in excess of 60 workers, but NPR is also moving to grand new digs in two to three years.
	Please explain how you can afford the new spot.
	You are a great national public treasure, national public radio.
	Sponsorship, underwriting, advertising, call it whatever you want.
	It's always about hitting the other guy in the mouth, isn't it?
	That's always going to ever be a problem.
	Drote went from California to Washington, D.C. on algae.
	Shut up, Grandpa.
	Why should I take you, with all due respect, your expertise over McChrystal's expertise?
	I mean, come on.
	With Ragu, you can give your kids veggies they'll actually eat.
	Generally speaking, we get the joke.
	If you want to educate the American people about science and its relevance today, do you believe in evolution, sir?
	Do I believe in evolution?
	I embrace the view that God created the heavens and the earth and the seas and all that's in them.
	Right, but you believe in evolution as a way to get it.
	The means, Chris, that he used to do that, I can't say.
	But I do believe in that fundamental truth.
	Did you take biology in school?
	Did you take science, which is all based on evolutionary belief and assumption?
	The reason I'm asking this, I'm not just taking a fight.
	If your party wants to be credible on science, you've got to accept science, do you?
	I always wanted to play and inherit the win, but on the global warming issue, I know that in the mainstream media...
	See how you're hedging?
	This is why people don't try.
	In the mainstream media, Chris, there is a denial.
	And he constantly is talking about how there is no global warming.
	Every climatologist in the world says there's global warming.
	Every scientist has said there is a problem.
	We're all on this earth together, and this guy goes out and says that there's no global warming.
	Who is he?
	If I can add to that,
	you know, I think one of the biggest problems we see right now is the fact that so much of what we do online actually requires training.
	And I think where you're going to see the greatest innovation in the coming decade is going to be around that human-computer interface.
	And think about this.
	I know there are people on Second Life right now, but imagine a universe where you have the Star Trek holodeck, where you could literally ask the computer to act or ask questions and get answers.
	In the same way, if you look at some of these software companies, they've made it so complicated to interact with their technologies.
	And at the same time, the underlying architecture and the platforms, it's almost a chicken and egg question because a lot of it was built and architected around bandwidth constraints.
	Therefore, you had to deploy technologies that were much more complicated in terms of interacting and communicating.
	Now, as broadband deployment, and more importantly, if you look at the megabits per second, how much information can we get through the pipeline is going to be so important.
	And as new and new software technologies are being introduced, what you're going to see is Huge change from how applications are architected with skip logic to video and much more human ways of interacting with these applications rather than binary or cobalt ways of interacting with those applications.
	Oh my god, I have to sit down.
	Best New Starlet.
	Lexi Bell.
	Tori Black.
	Chase Evans.
	Jalen Fox.

	Nicky Jane.

	Angelina Valentine.
	Jimmy and Tommy and me and there was Anthony Stabile.
	How you doing?
	Frankie Carbone.
	And then there was Mo Black's brother, Fat Andy.
	And his guys, Frankie the Wob.
	Freddy No Nose.
	And then there was Pete the Killer, who was Sally Balls' brother.
	And you had Nicky Eyes.
	And Mikey Francesi.
	And Jimmy two times, who got that nickname because he said everything twice, like...
	I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.
	Are you mad?
	What sort of a wild goose chase are you suggesting?
	It's ridiculous.
	It's time to put a stop to this.
	Bottom speaking.
	He's a jackass Madonna
	Manamana.
	That was wonderful.
	Bravo!
	I loved it!
	Oh, it was great!
	Well, it was pretty good.
	Well, it wasn't bad.
	Well, there were parts of it that weren't very good at all.
	It could have been a lot better.
	I didn't really like it.
	It was pretty terrible.
	It was bad.
	It was awful!
	I was terrible!
	Come away!
	Hey, boo!
	Boo!
	It was fun.
	Stuff it.
	The problem that I was having with the solo is that it's getting a little noodley.
	I'd rather it be like Less notes
	That would be great.
	Let's end the world's changes.
	Not wanting leaders and oppressed leaders.
	When politicians become deafened from intercomperations, posing as humans, real humans love.
	Never arresting my guns.
	It was supposed to be a disaster.
	We're still happy enough to ask what we're voting for.
	When the science is harder, the science is untrue.
	All right, not to remain silent Why won't we remain?
	Won't we remain silent?
	Why won't we remain?
	Won't we remain silent?
	Less, less notes.
	That would be great.
