	Oh, what a great show!
	I feel so a part of it!
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's January 21st, 2010.
	Time for a Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 167.
	This is No Agenda.
	Soaking wet in the western quadrant of Gitmo Nation and coming to you live from the Minimum Security Containment Cell Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West in San Francisco.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And it's raining here in northern Silicon Valley again.
	In fact, it's really crappy out.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crack, Blood, and Buzzkill!
	In the morning!
	In the morning to you, John.
	In the morning to you.
	In the morning to everybody in the chat room, on the stream, as we do it live.
	Every Thursday and Sunday morning, early service, 9 o'clock, Gitmo Nation West Time, Pacific Standard Time.
	Yes, exactly.
	So, before we do anything, why don't we start right off with the credit roll?
	We have an executive producer.
	Yes.
	Who happens to be, he says to also read this in a Russian accent.
	But I can't, let me do my best.
	You can try, sure.
	On the last show, you said that there were no donations from Russia.
	I am here to fix that.
	Maybe I should stop you.
	You're hurting yourself.
	That's not working?
	That's really not.
	No, you've got to think more like, Boris, Boris, on the last show, you thought there were no donations.
	Even though I'm sending this from Canada, I'm a Russian citizen, so there...
	Oh, well, that doesn't count.
	You can't say now that you don't have donations from Russia.
	This came from Val Communications.
	Okay, is that the whole producer?
	Val Communications.
	V-A-L Communications.
	That is the only...
	He gave me no name.
	A website or a type of...
	No, it's a company in Toronto.
	Oh, okay.
	Val Communications, all right.
	And he gave us $222, $222.
	Ah, nice.
	And so he's the executive producer.
	And no associate executive producers?
	No, that's it.
	One guy.
	So, of course...
	Val Communications, thank you so much.
	I guess you can be listed as a production company.
	If you want to change it to his name, he gets to tell us who he is.
	No, it's a company.
	It's Val Communications.
	Yeah.
	Val Communications can now list themselves with the Better Business Bureau as a producer, as a production company, being the executive producing entity behind No Agenda Episode 167.
	And that could actually get you more clients.
	You could put it on your website under About Us.
	Right?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I would do it.
	Hell yeah.
	It's like they do it.
	Okay, so we don't have an associate executive producer.
	Artwork is to be determined.
	Thank you all very much, by the way, for stepping up after our call-out for artwork.
	We've got a couple of artists now, and we're now putting...
	We have about seven.
	Yeah, we're also putting the stuff in the credits at the top of the list, because that was definitely faux pas on our part.
	And today we have a PR executive, John.
	Oh, no.
	Yes.
	I must say, though, it is the same PR executive who already had credits with commendations.
	Oh, really?
	So this guy's angling down.
	Maynard, who I think still has a job with the Australian Broadcasting Company.
	We're wondering.
	It may not last long.
	Maybe he's phoning these up, you know.
	A couple of people tried to get on some radio shows and got cut off after like three seconds of their first sentence because you've got to play this.
	It's like fishing.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You've got to draw him in a little bit.
	You've got to work him.
	Yeah, you can't just say, in the morning, no judges show!
	That doesn't work.
	They'll dump you out.
	Right, and they also have a kill switch that's usually got on a delay.
	Seven second delay, yeah, exactly.
	So to count to seven and see how long it is, you've got to slip it in.
	Yeah, that's the whole point is you've got to slip these things in very quietly so that really it's subliminal.
	We don't want the bababooey type thing because that's not good enough.
	We want our PR executives to really sneak it in so that it sets into the subconscious Of the listener.
	And then they'll just start noticing this.
	All of a sudden, you'll see billboards in the morning.
	No agenda show.
	No agenda.
	And people will catch on to it.
	It's a campaign.
	We're not looking for a quick hit here.
	Well, another thing we should think about, for anyone out there who's creative, you know, you can buy adhesive paper for your printer.
	Uh-huh.
	And you can print on noagendashow.com or listen to No Agenda or put pictures of one of us from the artwork.
	There's lots of it.
	In fact, there's an archive of artwork.
	Yes.
	And then you can make little stickers.
	Yes.
	And then when you drive up to the toll booth in Boston, when you go into the tunnel, there's usually a line you can kind of inch over to the far left.
	You get where the barrier is that you can plow into if you're drunk at night.
	You're reliably informed.
	And you can get close enough to it.
	You can reach out with your arm and put a sticker on there.
	And you'll see it like the San Francisco Bay Bridge here.
	There's stickers all over the place.
	Yeah.
	Mostly for rock bands.
	Most of them are out of business.
	So making a little sticker, putting it someplace, especially in the Boston Tunnel.
	Or New York has got some, too.
	Let me just correct you.
	Little sticker?
	I don't think that's a good idea.
	Make it a little bigger.
	Well, you don't want it to be so big that they track us down like dogs and shoot us.
	I mean, the sticker should be about three inches by three inches, I think, about the most, or make it just something that's easily readable.
	And you stick it on there.
	And by the way, you also stick these stickers on newspaper racks, metal poles around town, and just everywhere.
	Stripper poles.
	Anywhere.
	Stripper poles.
	Yeah.
	And they can get a grip on them.
	And you just make these stickers and stick them around.
	Now, if you take a picture of the sticker after you've posted it and send it in to us, we will give you an associate...
	No, a PR executive.
	Oh, right.
	PR associate.
	Because if you do something on the air, that's really where you get the full executive privilege.
	Well, no, it's always been PR associate.
	We haven't...
	Really?
	So it's associate?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, it's because we don't have a pure executive.
	Well, I don't know.
	Maynard is well on his way.
	Maybe if they do it two or three times, boom, I'll give them the honorary executive title.
	Okay, so in the show notes at noagendershow.com, you'll be able to find the actual webpage for the Australian Broadcasting Company that this show is from.
	Now, Maynard, I think, is kind of an all-rounder because he was doing a morning show in the morning.
	And he was interviewing some woman about horticulture, and in particular about roses.
	And so he spliced the two bits together for me.
	I'll play the first bit, which is the beginning of the interview, and then further in the interview he slips another nice little ditty in.
	So here's the first bit as broadcast on Australian national radio.
	I'm surrounded by beautiful plants here in the nursery at Georgetown with Judy Sharp in the morning.
	It's lovely here in the morning.
	Good morning, Nainad.
	Is this guy amazing?
	He actually pauses to say, in the morning!
	He's getting bold.
	The memo is going to hit him shortly.
	Okay, now, listen to the, as he's talking about roses, as he wraps it up.
	It certainly is.
	You've always got a mass of blooms on each bush, haven't you?
	That's right.
	I mean, some of the other roses, like, they will, you know, it's soon time to give them two to the head and chuck them away, but these roses seem to go on forever.
	The longer they're in the vase, the older they get, the more the...
	Give them two to the head and chuck them away.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	What I like is that the woman just doesn't even respond.
	This is a pro.
	This guy's a pro.
	He knows what he's doing.
	He knows how to slip the propaganda in there.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's awesome.
	He's no slouch.
	Let's put it that way.
	Maynard, thank you so much.
	It does it for me.
	I love it.
	I really love it.
	So, shall we start off by saying that I am perhaps just as crazy as a dictator of a South American country?
	That's a point.
	I know what we're going to talk about today in advance, and let's make sure that we do talk about it.
	We're going to talk about the guy in Massachusetts.
	We're going to talk about Haiti.
	And I guess we're going to talk about this and probably a couple of other items.
	And some Letterman, hopefully.
	Yeah, a little bit.
	I mean, I have a long Letterman clip to finish the show off with again after the credit roll.
	Because we know people love it.
	Well, you know, we got more contributions than usual when we did the last one.
	And then we haven't gotten the cease and desist order yet because these clips are a little borderline in terms of lifting content.
	No, I think it's under fair use as news.
	I think it's fair use as news.
	Also, I think it's also something Letterman would appreciate.
	Well, I don't care.
	Well, I do.
	I don't care.
	You love Letterman.
	You have a man crush on Letterman.
	Yeah, you do.
	He's so funny.
	I'm a Letterman fan.
	So, do you have the clip there?
	What, of Letterman?
	No, of Caesar.
	Yes, of course.
	Let's listen to it right now.
	This is actually from...
	Here, listen to the news clip.
	Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez has once again accused the United States of playing God.
	But this time it's Haiti's disastrous earthquake that he thinks the U.S. was behind.
	Spanish newspaper ABC quotes Chavez as saying that the U.S. Navy launched a weapon capable of inducing a powerful earthquake off the shore of Haiti.
	He adds that this time it was only a drill, and the final target is destroying and taking over Iran.
	There you go.
	Is that not exactly what I said?
	Is that not exactly what I said?
	I just wanted to correct myself for saying Caesar.
	Caesar's good answer.
	You're into etiquette now.
	Meanwhile, we've got a dictator saying the same thing I'm saying.
	Oh, yeah, Adam, you said the exact same thing.
	That makes me think that you and Chavez are both reading the same whatever it is, some paper in Russia.
	Well, I have a couple...
	Where did you get this notion in the first place?
	Okay, well, I got this notion...
	Don't interrupt me now, and I'll tell you.
	And I back this up with links in the show notes.
	First of all, I get the notion that this...
	So we have to go back to the basics, that earthquake machines meant for war are real.
	And I go back to...
	That's not the basics.
	That's your crazy theory.
	Well, Monday, April 28, 1997, in a Department of Defense news briefing, and I have the briefing here from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense.
	It's a transcript.
	At the time, the Secretary of Defense was William S. Cohen, and he's talking about all different kinds of weaponry, about what the Department of Defense is doing about it.
	And I would just highlight a little ditty from that.
	There are reports, for example, and this is the Secretary speaking, there are reports, for example, that some countries have been trying to construct something like an Ebola virus, and that would be a very dangerous phenomenon to say the least.
	Alvin Toffler has written about this in terms of some scientists in their laboratories trying to devise certain types of pathogens that would be ethnic-specific.
	So they could just eliminate certain ethnic groups and races.
	Others are designing some sort of engineering, some sort of insects that can destroy scientific crops.
	Yet others are engaging in an ecotype of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.
	So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations.
	Now, that, of course, doesn't expressly state that the United States has such weaponry, but, gee!
	Well, that's a good point.
	If that's a vetted memo...
	It is.
	It's a vetted memo from the Department of Defense.
	Hmm.
	And actually, they removed it from their site, and so I used the Wayback Machine at archive.org.
	Ah, they've removed it from their site?
	Of course!
	But you did find it on the archive.org from that URL. Yes, yes, and that URL I'm posting.
	Removing it from their site bothers me.
	Of course, because...
	Really?
	Hmm.
	I got a couple more links that relate to that, which probably just let the listeners and producers look out for themselves.
	But let me take you a little bit further down my rabbit hole, John.
	You may have to suck in your gut.
	Before you do that...
	Do you think Chavez listens to this show or he's getting this information from someplace else?
	Because it's not just that that memo doesn't say there's anything going on with this.
	And he also said this is just a test run.
	So they test it and then they're going to go decimate Iran.
	Where do you think he got this concept from?
	Do they have a CIA in Venezuela or somebody tipping it off?
	No, I do believe this is FSB. I'm pretty sure it's Russian intelligence.
	So it could be complete disinformation that this was the case.
	But this is from our own Department of Defense.
	And this was in 1997.
	And of course we know that this is the stuff that Nikolai Tesla was working on.
	Okay, well, let's go on with your rabbit hole.
	All right, so, what was the first thing I said when this earthquake struck?
	I said, isn't it amazing that the second-in-command of Southcom...
	Yeah, right, you did say this.
	What the heck was he doing there?
	Well, you're going to love this because when it comes to what we, you know, the so-called false flag, false flag initiatives, i.e. a terror attack stage to make it look like someone else or any other type of event.
	So this is from nextgov.com.
	And it's kind of a throwaway line in this article.
	So it's about...
	Actually, the article is about the Defense Department launching an online system to coordinate Haiti relief efforts.
	So here's in the second paragraph.
	On Monday, Gene DeMay, DISA's technical manager, that's the Defense Information Systems Agency...
	For the agency's Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation Project happened to be at the headquarters of the U.S. Southern Command in Miami preparing for a test of the system in a scenario that involved providing relief to Haiti in the wake of a hurricane.
	After the earthquake hit on Tuesday, DeMay said SOUTHCOMM decided to just go live with the system.
	Now, this happens every single time.
	FEMA had a drill before 9-11, the same exact day.
	7-7 in London, there was a drill, which coincidentally had the drill with explosives on buses and tube stations.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	And now once again, there was a drill.
	For some reason, Department of Defense, the Southern Command, Southcom, just happened to be doing a drill preparing for some natural disaster.
	And they happened to be there.
	Please.
	Please, John.
	Please.
	So why could this be?
	There's a whole bunch of reasons.
	We've talked about a lot of them, but now reports are coming in from multiple places around the globe about the amount of oil that has been discovered in Haiti.
	And I have a link to a French site, a French newspaper site, about some dude who actually warned the authorities of seismic risk in Haiti 20 years ago.
	But in 2008, 20 oil sites, huge reserves were discovered in Haiti that apparently make Venezuela's oil reserves look like a glass versus a swimming pool.
	So, you know, obviously...
	That could come in handy.
	Yes.
	Well, check this out.
	So, now I'm getting interested.
	You know, besides the fact that, you know, that Mr...
	Yeah, that you and Chavez are on the same page.
	We'll be drinking Cabernet before you know it.
	Yeah, well, hold on.
	So then I'm like, I'm going to look at what kind of aircraft are coming in and out of there, because you can track on FlightAware.com, you can track tail numbers.
	Okay, well, before you go into that, I want to mention something, which was a number of articles, because I want you to tell me what's wrong with this picture.
	Mm-hmm.
	In fact, somebody sent me a link, and Crooks and Liars had some links to some of these articles.
	There's been a slew of, I would say, planted stories about why we aren't getting...
	We talked about this last show, why water's not getting into that little airport in Port-au-Prince.
	There's a very small one.
	meme is that the place is too damn small to handle all this traffic.
	There's no place to put the planes.
	There's, you know, you got to spread them out.
	You can't keep landing them.
	But which was all I thought was kind of discrepant considering the fact that Hillary showed up down there and they just closed the airport for three hours.
	And then Bill and Chelsea landed at this airport in some huge jet just to go in there for a photo op.
	And then they left.
	So if Bill and Chelsea can land, you know, why can't why are all these other lots of these planes are being diverted, Israeli planes, French planes, all these international operations, American planes apparently are landing, but these international planes are being sent to the other side of the mountain.
	which is the other country, Dominican Republic, where they have to make an eight-hour drive with their supplies and gear and medicines and whatever to get into Haiti to do any relief work.
	So this is a fun game you can play yourself.
	You can go to flightaware.com, and then down on the left-hand side it says Airport Code, so you can track all movements at the airport.
	The code for Port-au-Prince is M as in Mike, T as in Tango, P as in Papa, P as in Papa.
	So I've been following what's coming in and out of there.
	It's got a four-letter code?
	ICAO code.
	Dude, you can land an Antonov there.
	It's a big international airport.
	What's interesting is that there's still a lot of scheduled American Airlines flights are still landing there.
	Delta Airlines.
	But more interesting is the amount of private jets and small aircraft, which really can have nothing to do with relief efforts, except for doctors, and there are a couple of airline, and I've really been doing the research, because if you hover over these tail numbers, Actually, you can click on it.
	It tells you who the aircraft is registered to.
	And so you've got a lot of these tool companies, and of course, there's a ton of charter companies that are sending their Gulf Streams and smaller jets down there.
	But I've seen a guy who owns South Beach Water Sports land in his Cessna 172 from Miami But the one that I found interesting was November 419 Alpha Romeo, which I can tell you exactly when it was there.
	Hold on a second, we'll look at history.
	Okay, so it was...
	On the 13th of January, it landed at Port-au-Prince, and there's actually a picture of it with a couple of...
	Well, it's kind of hard to tell if these gentlemen in uniform, in desert uniform, if they're coming out of that aircraft or not, but there's a picture of it right there on the tarmac at MTPP. That aircraft is owned by Mardon, Inc., Mardon Inc.
	is a company that specializes in petroleum refinery and oil discovery.
	Some awesome relief effort going on down there.
	Is it a publicly traded company?
	No.
	John's like, buy, buy, buy, buy.
	So we can just look at it today.
	And you don't even have to look really at who these companies are.
	Just look at the type of aircraft.
	So you're telling me that you don't think that these private jets owned by billionaires and companies like Mardon Inc.
	are there for relief purposes?
	No.
	I don't know, John.
	I'm just saying.
	And there's a lot of registrations where you click on it and it says, at the request of the registrant, this aircraft cannot be tracked.
	There's a lot of that going on.
	Now, wait, wait.
	Hold on a second.
	Why would anybody request that their aircraft not be tracked?
	Because it's CIA. Oh, okay.
	There's a lot of these aircraft that are used for rendition flights.
	Yeah, it shows you everywhere.
	So we've got planes coming in, a lot of them from Miami International.
	These are the American Airlines flights.
	And now maybe they're bringing in troops.
	I mean, that's possible, but these look like scheduled flights.
	These are Boeing 763s.
	We've got an Air France coming in today.
	What's a 763?
	I've never heard of such a jet.
	763?
	That would be a 767-300 series?
	Yeah, exactly.
	All right.
	Sorry.
	Yes.
	We've got an Air France coming in today, and that's an Airbus 320.
	These are big planes.
	Yeah, these are huge planes.
	Absolutely.
	But there's also, the huge planes aren't the thing that interest me because big planes can carry lots of cargo.
	But it's the small twin engine, you know, turbo props, and they're in and out all the time.
	Look, if there's a real relief effort going on, what is some dinky five, six passenger turbo prop doing coming in?
	They should be diverting that away.
	Go away.
	We've got real work to do here.
	So it's highly interesting to me.
	It's suspicious.
	Completely suspicious.
	And it looks like tourism is just continuing.
	That's the thing that blows me.
	It's not like, you know, you heard about the cruise ship that pulled up off the northern coast.
	Did you hear about that?
	No.
	Oh, please.
	You're telling me.
	Oh, this is fantastic.
	Here it is.
	Cruise ship docks at private beach in Haiti for barbecue and water sports.
	What cruise ship is this?
	This may be the one that Brooks is on.
	No, I'm not kidding, because when he went out, he's our producer for Cranky Geeks, when he went on vacation for a week, he said that, I guess our cruise ship, he's on this huge cruise ship, is going to not be docking in Haiti, but it was scheduled to.
	Well, this is the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's Independence of the Seas, which is one of the larger ones.
	I think that may be his boat.
	Is that the gay cruise?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, here's the story.
	I don't know how to look into it.
	I could be wrong, but it was one of the biggest boats.
	It's huge.
	And it was supposed to dock in Haiti.
	If I'd known this, we'd have to Twitter him or get some photos for us.
	Well, so there's a picture here of the, I don't know if this is docked at Haiti, but let me just read a little bit from the story.
	It went ahead, the Independence of the Seas went ahead and with its schedule stopped at a fenced in private Haitian beach, surrounded by armed guards, leaving its passengers to cut loose on the beach.
	Dude, you're right.
	This is the Gay Cruise.
	Just a few kilometers from one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the region's history.
	The ship's owners justified it as a humanitarian call because the ship also delivered 40 pallets of relief supplies while its passengers frolicked on zip lines and ate barbecue within the 12-foot-high fences perimeter.
	The floor...
	If we don't get some photos from him on this, I'm going to be quite annoyed.
	So here's a quote from one of the passengers.
	I just can't see myself sunning on the beach, playing in the water, eating a barbecue, and enjoying a cocktail while in Port-au-Prince there are tens of thousands of dead people being piled up on the streets with the survivors stunned and looking for food and water, one passenger wrote on the Cruise Critic Internet Forum.
	It was hard enough to sit and eat a picnic lunch at Labadee before the quake, knowing how many Haitians were starving, said another.
	I can't imagine having to choke down a burger there now.
	And then he went on to choke down his cruise mate.
	This is like a surreal scene from that Coppola movie, Apocalypse Now.
	It is.
	The Playboy bunnies are flown in.
	All the explosions are taking place and people are dying.
	That's terrible.
	It is.
	It's absolutely terrible.
	Now, there's another interesting thing that someone pointed out to me, one of our Canadian listeners, producers.
	Remember when Obama was in Canada meeting with Harper?
	Yeah, vaguely.
	Okay.
	So, when he was there...
	General Michaela Jean discussed the plight of her native Haiti with U.S. President Barack Obama.
	So they had a meeting up there, and the President made clear that this is something he did care about, the economic and social issues, and wanted to confer and get the views of others about how he could do a better job in supporting economic and social development in Haiti.
	President Obama told her he'd like to talk further where they're on the issue.
	And by the way, he said, make sure you don't hang any pictures over your bed.
	We're going to fix that shit for you.
	Don't hang any pictures over your bed.
	Get rid of the mirror.
	We're on the ground.
	In fact, get out of there.
	Be in Toronto.
	So anyway, now, sorry, John, I have to add one more piece to this.
	No, here we go.
	This is supposed to be...
	You're supposed to hold the real crazy stuff to me.
	I'll hold this piece for later.
	But I do want to point out...
	You're on a roll, tell us.
	No, no, I got something...
	This is good, too.
	After 40 or 50 years...
	Of completely screwing this country.
	Oh yeah.
	And everybody agrees about that.
	Science is in!
	There's no doubt about it.
	Everybody agrees.
	We screwed that country.
	Now you actually had a pretty interesting assertion on the last show saying it was about time we did this because they need some proper help or whatever.
	Yeah.
	But what irks me is around the world, now it's all, and by the way, it's always the artists.
	Let's get together.
	Let's do a show.
	Let's raise money for Haiti.
	Meanwhile, we just got another 500,000 people out of a job in the last month.
	We have 20% unemployment.
	We're stepping over homeless people.
	We've got millions and millions of children sleeping on the streets with no home to go to.
	But let's Put on a concert!
	Yes, it's Hope for Haiti Now!
	Coming to you on Saturday, courtesy of the same people who bring you the MTV Video Music Awards, Joel Gallen.
	He was actually a nice guy, but so misguided.
	Well, what kind of celebrities do you think they could attract?
	Well, how about Wyclef Jean, Bruce Springsteen?
	This, by the way, is it's Hollywood and it's music and movies together.
	Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Shakira, Sting.
	They'll be in New York City.
	Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Dave Matthews, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, and Taylor Swift.
	With a group performance by Keith Urban, Kid Rock, and Sheryl Crow in Los Angeles.
	In London, Coldplay.
	A group performance by, who could do a benefit without them, Bono, The Edge, Jay-Z, and Rihanna.
	All performances to be available for purchase from Apple iTunes Store with profis benefiting select Haiti relief funds.
	Mm-hmm.
	You know, how do we do with that Live Aid, John?
	How's Ethiopia doing?
	How about Hands Across America?
	How about Live Aid?
	How about Farmers Aid?
	How about any of these things?
	And what about the first one that was put on that years and years ago?
	I think it was with the Beatles and then the guy who took all the money.
	Remember we had to do this big show for all the Katrina victims?
	How do we do with that?
	We still got people like starving down there.
	Yeah, we're choking to death in formaldehyde-soaked trailers.
	Thank you.
	Hey, great show, everybody.
	And everybody can sit there on their couch with your hand in your pants, drinking your beer, smoking your doobie, jacking off.
	Oh, what a great show!
	I feel so a part of it!
	You know what?
	Let's all make our icons on Twitter.
	That's the clip for the beginning of the show.
	Oh, let me market that.
	Let's make our Twitter icons green for Haiti.
	Oh, yes, I'm participating now.
	It's crap, ladies and gentlemen.
	Bull crap.
	Bull crap.
	How do you really feel?
	It pisses me off.
	This is about egos.
	And there's just a lot of misguided stuff.
	And people think they're doing so much good.
	Doing so much good.
	We're doing good.
	You're not doing any good.
	I... Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I can imagine the kind of ego boost you could get when you could actually get, and of course there were spots where there were no hands, where you'd actually have somebody's hand next to a hand, and everyone just hooked up in this long chain across the country, which by the way was broken.
	That never completed, right?
	But it was still interesting.
	It's got to make you feel good.
	I don't know.
	I think this is just to make people feel better.
	So, I think one of the more interesting fundraising efforts, and of course there's tons of them now, right?
	Every country, everyone's gotten, it's all, you know, it's being funneled through the Red Cross.
	And I don't have a...
	I don't have a Red Cross in very high regard as to how they deal with their money.
	It goes into the general fund.
	Exactly.
	In Sweden, there was a Haitian earthquake relief Facebook site.
	They were called two kroner per member to earthquake victims of Haiti.
	And they were up to like 200,000 members by the time someone actually read the Facebook site, wherein this association, the SNA, which I'll explain what that is in a minute, said they were going to be sending 500,000 kroner to Haiti to ensure that the bodies which are brought home from Haiti are in as good shape as possible.
	This being the Swedish Necrophilia Association.
	And they'd already signed up 200,000 people Who had donated before anyone realized this was a hoax and of quite some disturbing magnitude.
	I mean, this is...
	We can't even get people to donate to our show.
	Thank you!
	This is an excellent point.
	You know, a thing like that.
	Jeez, that's terrible.
	Of course it's terrible, but it just goes to show.
	And these are the Swedes who are above board.
	This is a massive...
	Swedish necrophilia episode.
	This is a massive mind control.
	It's not even being run by anybody unless, you know, maybe it's everyone who went to see Avatar.
	Coincidence?
	I think not!
	And it's just like because you feel so crap about your own life and you, oh, someone has it shittier than me.
	Oh, here's some money.
	It's just not the way we're going to really fix the world.
	It just isn't.
	And right now there's 15,000 to 20,000 troops there.
	And I'm still seeing Anderson Cooper Vanderbilt pulling babies out of the rubble.
	On C-SPAN, I could see one guy who did some kind of press conference from the military.
	He could have been in a different studio on a chromicky green screen, for all I care.
	For all you know.
	For all I know, exactly.
	So, anyway, I stick by my theory, and I'm waiting for my invite from Mr.
	Chavez.
	Yeah.
	And I can get one anytime soon, I can assure you.
	But I think it's interesting to say the least.
	I think you have to cavort with him.
	Interesting to say the least that I called it exactly that way.
	No, it's interesting to say the least that he said pretty much the exact same thing.
	After I did.
	After I did.
	After you did.
	Of course, we're always ahead of everything.
	Anyone who listens to this show should...
	In fact, I think people can listen to the show a month later and we're still ahead of the game generally.
	But for some reason, we're like surfers on the...
	We're at the crest.
	We're at the beginning of the wave that sweeps over the regular media if it ever sweeps over anything.
	That's good.
	That was a good call.
	But I still think my call about, you know, we're just going to take over the place.
	Oh, no, we both agree on that.
	And you said that there's a lot of CIA flights coming in from those airports.
	You know what?
	I don't even know if it's CIA flights because I also saw, like, hotel chains, luxury aircraft, right?
	So smaller...
	You're not putting a lot of pallets of water in these planes.
	That's my point.
	You're not dragging any water.
	You're moving people.
	And they're registered to companies that build luxury hotels.
	What does that tell you?
	I will say there are certain...
	Like Kendrick's Motorsports, and you go to their website, and they said, hey, you know, we've got our plane, we've given our plane, and of course, Kendrick Motorsports, they've got to fly, I don't know if they do motorsports, oh, they do NASCAR. So they fly planes around in big parts, so it's a big-ass plane.
	They said, hey, we're going to put our plane in, and we'll transport whatever you want, and they actually got local goods.
	So there is a lot of good being done, but all of this bullcrap about we can't, it's a huge airport.
	This is a tourist destination airport.
	Go Look at it on Google Earth.
	And I will say it is possible that there's not a lot of...
	Tarmac is always the problem, right?
	That's the congestion with all of our airports, certainly in the United States, is not the airspace around it.
	It's where to park all this crap when it comes in.
	There's just not enough area to actually put the aircraft.
	So you do have to have some kind of coordination of get them in, get the shit off, and take off again, and let's roll, right?
	So you do have to do that.
	But if you're taking up slots, landing slots, with lots of these executive aircraft, and 80% to 85% is executive aircraft.
	So I guess it's politicians.
	It must be some type of command.
	I hope to God, and there are some flights that are doctors, so you don't need a big plane to bring in a lot of doctors.
	So that's good.
	But it's just highly suspicious.
	There's just a lot of weird stuff going on, and it's not being reported properly.
	And you have to wonder when you see the news reports.
	And yes, I think it's fantastic that we're still saving people from the rubble, but enough already.
	Show me something about what's really happening.
	Don't show me one helicopter pooping out a couple of barrels of stuff.
	And then, whoa, we couldn't drop anything.
	I was like, ah, my brain hurts from all this.
	Anyway.
	I think your brain hurts a lot.
	Yeah.
	Alright, so you're going to give us another kicker at the end after we make our plea.
	Sure.
	Since we're talking about airplanes, I want to run a clip.
	Oh, lovely.
	Because you're in a role, you know how to fly, you can analyze this.
	We both know about computers.
	So this is kind of a long clip, but it's from the new show on Fox, Human Target.
	Fox, Fox, Fox.
	And it is probably the biggest crock of crap in terms of technical anything that I've ever heard in my life.
	Let me give you the premise.
	I'd only caught the end of the show.
	I can't imagine that I would have gotten to this clip, by the way, had I watched the beginning of the show.
	But luckily, I missed it and only got to see this part because it was just ridiculous.
	So here's the premise.
	There was some sort of a terrorist activity taking place on a plane.
	It was a guy with a crotch bomber or something like that.
	They caught the plane on fire.
	They couldn't get the plane fire out for some reason.
	And this guy who's a secret agent or one of his minions, this is like a Dreamliner or a 767.
	I can't tell.
	It could be a 777.
	But it's a The big jet, and they flipped it over, and they're flying it upside down.
	Right.
	And now they're walking around on, of course, the unsupported roof, which is not to be walked around on because it's not meant for that, but that's okay.
	And they're having, by the way, fights and things and, you know, things like that.
	And all the passengers are still got their belts.
	They're hanging upside down on their belts.
	Hanging upside down, okay.
	Now, I couldn't tell which character this was, but I believe it was the pilot or something like that.
	They can't get the plane turned right, so it's flying in a straight line upside down.
	And the pilot says, and you're going to hear this part because it's in here, when you flip the plane over...
	You probably blew up the computer controls.
	This is a fly-by-wire plane, apparently.
	Oh, it's an Airbus, of course.
	Well, then, of course, totally right.
	You're screwed.
	No, you're not screwed if you've got these people on board.
	So I want you to listen to this long clip and see how much of it you can...
	It's like the most astonishing crock of crap I've ever heard in my life.
	Good news.
	Fire's out.
	Your maneuver must have crashed a flight computer.
	Simply couldn't process what was happening.
	I know how it feels.
	First of all, okay, let me just say one thing.
	I'm flying upside down in an Airbus.
	This is not how I talk, John.
	Ha ha ha!
	This is not like, you must have blown it to come to the flight controls.
	I'd be like, dude, Dvorak!
	We're screwed!
	This shit is busted, dude!
	You got any ideas?
	By the way, listen to Scully.
	I mean, Sully, listen to Sully Sullenberger.
	You heard him when he was, and he wasn't hanging upside down.
	He's like, he's barking it, you know?
	He's like, this is not, this is so unrealistic, I already can't stand it.
	Which, of course, is great when you're listening to this stuff instead of being mind-controlled and watching it.
	Here we go.
	I know how it feels.
	What if we shut it off?
	Can we get the controls then?
	Other controls, sure.
	But we can't roll the plane back safely without the computer's help.
	Couldn't we just reboot the computer or something?
	That sounds like me when Mevio's down.
	Couldn't we just reboot the computer or something?
	It gets better.
	Actually, he's not that far off.
	I imagine the flake computer's a couple years old, probably like 800 megahertz processing power.
	Most laptops are just as powerful.
	Mine certainly is.
	What do you say?
	Who's this kid?
	Is this a girl?
	She's like a secret agent whiz kid.
	A lot of shows of late, they're portraying the women as the nerdy geeks that know more than the guys.
	I can name about five shows where the head geek is a female.
	John, you know, do you recall you went to see that movie Avatar?
	Have you noticed anything in your television viewing behavior that has changed recently?
	I'm saying if I download the flight management software to my laptop...
	Back it up, back it up.
	Back it up.
	So you're just at the beginning when she starts talking about the 800 megahertz processor.
	Yeah, no, I heard that.
	Okay.
	Processing power?
	Sure.
	Well, most laptops are just as powerful.
	Mine certainly is.
	What are you saying?
	Well, I'm saying if I could download the flight management software to my laptop, we would need to fix the plane's computer.
	We could just use mine.
	You want to replace the flight computer with a laptop?
	A coffee maker in your galley?
	They flew to the moon with a chip on temp that size.
	These are not advanced systems.
	Okay, so where do we get the software?
	This is the manufacturer's internal network.
	Oh, skeleton key.
	Down with me now.
	Okay, wait, stop.
	Let me tell you what's going on.
	I know exactly what's happening.
	No, no, but you don't know the one element of this.
	Besides the fact that our laptop will probably be covered with puke in these situations, She's got this laptop that somehow she's going to connect.
	The pilots are hanging upside down while all this is taking place, right?
	We're not in the front part of it.
	I don't know what's going on.
	Who's flying the plane then?
	I have no idea.
	Why are we even talking about this?
	Well, anyway, so she's going to contact the manufacturer of the software that powers the plane's computer.
	Of course, you know, it's not as though that these things are processor-dependent or they're operating system-dependent or that they use special I.O. that you can't have on a laptop.
	Or like a plug that doesn't fit.
	There's no way in a million years that this scenario can even come closer.
	What is your point?
	Like television is not real?
	Is that your point?
	No, that's not the point.
	The point is they've got one other little element here.
	For one thing, she's somehow contacting manufacturers' website from the air with her laptop, I guess with Wi-Fi.
	With a BitTorrent.
	And she pulls out, and you can't see this.
	I have to explain it.
	She pulls out a USB key, sticks it into the laptop, and tells everybody it's a skeleton key that can break into any network.
	Well, this is mind control.
	So within two seconds, she plugs this thing in, and she's on the network of the company somewhere in Boca Raton, or who knows where they are, and downloading the software that would normally be running on the plane's computer because it's so easy to do that.
	And...
	It's just...
	Play it.
	I can't take explaining much more of it.
	Five minutes.
	We'll be in the storm by then.
	It's coming to close, but we don't have any other choice.
	Okay, Brooks says we're going to have to patch a new computer in manually.
	Where's the avionics been?
	It's right here behind the front wheel well, but I can't find any access panels.
	That's because it's on the bottom of the plane.
	Avionics aren't meant to be accessed in the air.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	There's a vent on this end of the cargo compartment.
	We'll have to crawl to reach it, but it's big enough for us to get into the wheel well.
	There's none on the schematic.
	Are you sure?
	Yes, I'm sure.
	I used to date a ground crew guy.
	I know things about the plane I shouldn't.
	What is that supposed to mean?
	What do you think it's supposed to mean?
	There's secrets.
	Okay, you don't have to play any more of it.
	It's over.
	There's none left.
	We played the whole thing.
	We played two minutes.
	That's two minutes of my life.
	I'll never get back.
	What they do then is somehow they get on the outside of the plane through the wheel.
	Okay, all right.
	Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
	I'm just going to shoot myself.
	John, I forbid you from watching that.
	This is what passes for entertainment in the United States.
	How many people actually believe any of that's even possible?
	Oh, dude.
	And if you can fly the plane yourself, why can't you flip it back over?
	Of course you can.
	All you've got to do is you've got to point the nose down, which in this case would be pulling the stick back because you're upside down, and then you get some airspeed, and then you just stick and rudder it around.
	It's not that problem.
	You point the thing down, you're not going to be upside down anymore, now will you?
	Duh!
	Now stop!
	Stop, John, you're making me crazy.
	We're wasting valuable time.
	Okay, okay.
	I think we don't get...
	I think, as punishment, we shouldn't play your Letterman clip after that.
	That was so real newsy.
	I don't understand why you can complain about this.
	All right, let's play...
	I got a new meme.
	Let's play this.
	Secondhand smoke.
	Oh, boy.
	Good, this will lead into some Shantix talk.
	Want me to play it?
	Yeah, hit it.
	Even if no one in your home smokes, secondhand smoke can be closer than you think.
	Yeah, my ass.
	Smoke from a neighboring apartment can enter through the ventilation system.
	Alright.
	Through cracks in the walls and even through floorboards and light fixtures.
	Secondhand smoke is toxic and can harm you and your family.
	So, what was this for?
	Was that just to say, go arrest your neighbors?
	It doesn't have really hit target.
	They just keep playing this.
	I've seen it three times.
	Oh, my God.
	And I'm, by the way, I'm imagining smoke coming out of the light fixture.
	Light fixture, yeah.
	Well, I mean, I'm like...
	There's smoke coming.
	Anyway, while they're showing this commercial, all they show imagery is a bunch of little kids playing on the floor.
	Of course.
	And every so often...
	A little wisp of smoke?
	...either rubbing their eyes or coughing.
	Oh, no!
	Oh, no!
	Well, this is probably when Pfizer said they were going to step up their Shantix.
	This is probably just more ways to get people to take this wonder drug.
	I am convinced of it.
	Yeah, I think it really has something to do with it.
	We're going to outlaw smoking altogether.
	In your apartment, you can't smoke in your own house.
	Of course, that'll be forbidden because it's leaking through the light fixtures.
	And poisoning some little boy.
	Yeah, so this Shantix drug, this wonder drug, I just wanted to...
	Relay a couple of quick stories.
	So first of all, a kind of well-known musician, Carter Albrecht, who played, I have to say, played for Edie Burkell and the New Bohemians.
	You remember them from What I Am is What I Am.
	He was on Chantix.
	Was that it?
	Is that what he did?
	I don't know the song or them.
	Oh, Edie Burkell and the New Bohemians?
	Yeah, they're known.
	He's from Texas.
	So the guy was completely, he was on Chantix, and he was completely freaking out.
	And so he went over to his neighbor's house, and was like pounding on his door and going crazy, and his neighbor like shot him.
	He said, I tried to give him like a warning shot through the door, and he shot him in the head.
	Boom.
	So that was one.
	Then New York Magazine has this fantastic article.
	All of these are linked in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	Whoa, this guy documents him starting on the great news drug from Pfizer on January 25th.
	And it winds up that he's waking up at home with business cards from people he can't remember meeting, with sandwiches half eaten that he can't remember buying, completely off his rocker.
	It is the most scary story in the world.
	Wow.
	And then I've been getting tons of emails from people saying, you know, I'm freaking out on this stuff.
	Remember the girl Emily whose email I read on the last show?
	Yeah.
	Where she was like, I'm so crazy, I hate you Adam, but I don't, I love you, and I just want to go kill myself or someone, and she's freaking out.
	So Levi, her boyfriend...
	He emails me.
	He said, dude, I heard you read Emily's note on the air.
	She's really rough, man.
	I played our show for you, for her, and she stopped the shantix.
	But of course, that's when it gets the worst.
	Then you're in cold turkey come-down mode from this stuff that is like a combination of an eight ball and shrooms and a cocaine bump up your ass all at the same time.
	How would you know this?
	I'm reliably informed.
	And so, and I'm like, you know, and she's like, what are we going to do?
	Because she's freaking out.
	And I said, do what Mickey did.
	Start smoking.
	And, you know, it's like, you got to, because that's what she did.
	You got to immediately start smoking.
	I said, you know, but don't get the, you know, Marlboro stuff with the formaldehyde.
	Get like American Spirit or something else.
	You know, so at least it's pure tobacco and whatever.
	But, you know, it's kind of organic, but still smoke.
	And he says, you know what?
	I just wanted to say thank you.
	Thanks to Mickey for the advice.
	It's working.
	Emily is now almost her normal semi-sane self again.
	And she's plugging the show like crazy for everybody because we've saved her life.
	Another life saved.
	Another life saved thanks to No Agenda.
	So, you know, I hate to...
	The guy's probably dead right because the bad thing, I mean, this is the worst situation that we've stumbled upon.
	Luckily, the mainstream media is picking up on it, but it's astonishing that it's gone as far as it has.
	It is an outrage.
	It's an absolute outrage.
	And I'm sure you're right.
	This secondhand smoke, it's all a part of the campaign.
	They just want to get people off cigarettes.
	And I'm not against all that, but...
	Stop smoking!
	No, this is a classic two-step marketing scheme where you create a situation that when you go down the line, it benefits something you're trying to sell.
	And so you create the secondhand smoke, which in Influences legislatures and makes people think twice about it, you know, and then, you know, then the real long term of it is you have to get people to stop smoking because you're going to make it illegal, pretty much illegal to smoke your gun.
	Which, of course, means that there will be subsidies for stop smoking medicines.
	And, of course, you know, this is what socialized health care is all about.
	It's going to be groovy.
	We'll all be walking around stoned on Chantix, but we won't be smoking.
	And so when I see these things, what I consider to be a meme, because it's just too well...
	And by the way, this commercial is extremely well produced.
	Oh, really?
	I've got to see it.
	It's very, very slick.
	So this is not a bunch of slouches here.
	So if I can just take a moment here, John, since we have clearly, admittedly, saved a life...
	A human life.
	We have saved suffering.
	Probably saved quite a few.
	But this is one that's documented.
	We are lifesavers.
	I feel that's worth something.
	Yeah, it is.
	I feel that's worth some money.
	And I urge anyone within the sound of my voice to donate to this program.
	Some people have done so over the past couple days since our last show.
	John, you want to give us a little rundown?
	Yeah, we got some number of $50.
	We actually got pretty good numbers, but we didn't get a lot of big numbers.
	It's like little smaller donors, which is great.
	But let's name the $50 donors.
	Actually, 66.60.
	People always love to do that.
	Patrick Blauth, B-L-A-U-T-H in Dreich, I think is the pronunciation, Germany, Deutschland.
	D-R-E-I, D-R-E-I-C-H, Eich.
	D-R-E-I-C-H. D-R-E-I-C-H.
	It's like dry ice, only different.
	Dry ice, Germany.
	D-R-E-I-C.
	We also have John Kelly, Ricky Pierce, John Petrucchini, and Larry Corpy, who are on the Knights program.
	They came in.
	Somebody with no name came in, but he wants us to plug yourdonation.com and feel the joy of giving.
	What is that?
	And it's just a site, yourdonation.com.
	He just said, from your friends at yourdonation.com.
	Oh, I know what this is.
	It's a music monitor.
	Yeah, it's a music site.
	Yeah, you donate to artists.
	Yeah.
	Nicholas Wallace, who's actually a student in Toledo, and he's sacrificing his Netflix account for our benefit.
	Well, I think you'll get a lot.
	Dude, you know what?
	Anywhere you go today, you can say, I helped save a life.
	And then we have Sonia Fair, who actually donated the Dvorak Uncensored, but I thought I'd mention her.
	But it's 50.
	Claudia Gonzalez-George.
	Gonzalez-George is her last name.
	In Norman, Oklahoma, which is where the University of Oklahoma is in the...
	It's where the wind goes rustling down the plains, is it not?
	Norman, Oklahoma is a nice place.
	And then we had our $222 from Val Communications and $100 from Craig Lennox in New South Wales.
	That's it?
	That's it?
	That's what we get for saving a life?
	That's the way it goes.
	You know what?
	Next time it's going to be your life we're saving.
	And then how are you going to feel?
	It might be.
	So give us a...
	We need some more donations.
	I don't want to go too lightly, John.
	No, no, I agree.
	Ever since the new year began, it's like everyone's like...
	Given to Haiti and stuff like that.
	Right.
	That's where the money went.
	Went to Haiti.
	And we also had a holiday this week, and I think that hurts our donations.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Channel Dvorak.com slash NA. Or just go to the NoAgendaShow.com and help us out this week.
	We'd like to get more than this.
	Why won't anyone do a benefit concert for us?
	I can call Joel Gallon.
	He'll produce it.
	Yeah, we got a lot of producers.
	We got Angie B and Brother Love.
	How about a no-agenda charity concert with Pod...
	What's it called?
	Podsafe music artists?
	That's what I was just saying.
	Brother Love, Angie B. That's my point, dude.
	How about a benefit concert where we just do no music, you just give us money?
	Well, they might as well do that with those other ones.
	You know, I was doing my own little concert.
	Whoa, the whole building just shook.
	Whoa.
	Earthquake machine.
	That was weird.
	Well, wait, hold on.
	Let me see if it's an earthquake.
	It'll hit me in about, I think there's 500 miles an hour, whatever they travel.
	I mean, it was like someone slammed the door, except you can't just slam the door in this building and that happened.
	Oh, that slam the door sound is an earthquake.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Well, I felt something.
	I literally just felt, and it felt like a little roll.
	I'll check the Earthquake Center, but there could be a quake.
	Well, why don't you do that?
	Because, well, I tell you that once again, oh yes, more lights over Norway, except now, and this has not even hit the lamestream mainstream media yet.
	So this is from a Finnish site, and I've done a Google Translate on it.
	Except now, this is amazing when you see these pictures and you can see them in the show notes.
	Noagendashow.com.
	This is from the NRK, which I believe is the national broadcaster in Norway.
	So right about the same spot, now we have waveforms that look suspiciously like, exactly, like an oscillation.
	Which is exactly how, and of course, this is the time that you might see northern lights, but this is not northern lights when you see these pictures.
	It's also, it's not a UFO. This is clearly, in fact, what do the officials over there say?
	Um...
	Hold on a second.
	They said it might have been a jet at very high altitude breaking the sound barrier because it looks like sound waves.
	Well, please look in the show notes at noagendashow.com and please look at, and actually it's listed under Haiti, you will see where they did analysis on the seismograph of Before the Haiti earthquake, and you'll see all the anomalies.
	And this is what's showing up in the sky once again.
	So instead of it being this beautiful circle, now it's waves.
	Because that's what HAARP does.
	HAARP is an array of radio antennas.
	It's a billion watts.
	It shoots it up to the ionosphere.
	And then they call it HAARP because what it does is it hits the ionosphere.
	It comes down back to Earth.
	And it's hitting with a certain frequency, and the Earth starts to vibrate, just like the strings of a piano or a harp, in this case.
	And when you see it, you see these pictures, you're going to say, oh crap, that totally has to be harp, if you buy into it.
	If not, they've probably just got really good satellite reception up there at that base, because it's a lot of antennas.
	And then, of course, I'm amazed that you didn't blog this, John.
	I thought this would be totally for you.
	In Turkey, Izmir, Turkey, a sheep gave birth to a dead baby lamb that has a human face.
	Yeah, this is actually over a week old.
	Yeah.
	No, it's January 14th is when it came out.
	So, yeah, it is a week old.
	You're right.
	Did you blog this?
	Maybe one of the guys blogged it.
	I saw the story and it was kind of gross.
	Kinda?
	It's totally gross.
	You know, every once in a while you see an animal like that with a flat face and it becomes...
	This looks very scary.
	And this is from AFP, Agent France Presse.
	This is not like some, you know, not the National Enquirer.
	This is a serious news outfit.
	Yeah, it's a real story.
	I think it's a nothing-to-see-here story, personally.
	Well, no, I think it's more of a...
	And now, back to real news.
	That's what I think it is.
	Yeah, okay.
	That's what I think it is.
	Not as good as my discussion of the upside-down airplane.
	No, but I have real news for you.
	You want to hear some real news?
	I've got some real horrible news.
	First of all, there's a big problem in Europe right now because AB InBev...
	That's Anheuser-Busch InBev.
	It has been on strike for a week and we're running out of beer.
	Now it's time to panic.
	The UK is getting angry because there's no more...
	There's other beer, but the Belgian beer is good.
	Everyone loves Belgian beer.
	They're down to their last supplies in the stores in Gitmo Nation Lowlands, where, by the way, they've just announced the Red Light District is going to close at night.
	Where's this?
	In Holland, in Amsterdam.
	You're talking about panic.
	They're going to close at night?
	Yes.
	And you have to be a minimum of 23 years old to stand in the windows.
	So they're going to close between...
	What is wrong with this country?
	Between 4 a.m.
	and 8 a.m.
	It'll be closed.
	So you have to get your jollies in before 4 a.m.
	What's the reason for the age restrict?
	What is the age of consent in Holland?
	16.
	So can you work for a living at 16?
	Yeah.
	Can you get a job?
	Do you need a work permit?
	What was that?
	Dude, are they coming to get you?
	It's a garbage truck going by.
	Those things are so noisy, it's astonishing.
	So, yeah, at 16 you can get a job.
	Why can't the girls in those rooms be 16?
	Because Gitmo Nation Lowlands is in lockdown status, John.
	Why do you think all these Dutch people are listening to the show and donating money?
	Although, haven't seen much of it today.
	But yeah, they're in total lockdown.
	These people are being crushed.
	Crushed.
	It's Iceland is first.
	They've got Iceland.
	Boy, have you been following Iceland?
	No, not at all.
	Oh my goodness.
	Well, of course, the Dutch and the British governments bailed out the Ice Save Bank situation and gave their citizens their money back, which of course was primarily government officials who had messed up all their money because they knew how the scam worked.
	And now Iceland has to pay back, and the parliament is just voting without even showing the parliament what the deal is, because they have to pay back the UK and the Netherlands, and it's bankrupting the whole country.
	And the people aren't allowed to see the deal of the payback.
	And you've got like pirate parties starting and it's going to be total revolution there.
	Total.
	They're being completely annihilated.
	And of course, you know, they can't get into the European Union because of all this and the IMF is putting the screws to them.
	Iceland, I feel horrible.
	And no one's talking about them because it's Iceland.
	Who gives a crap about Iceland?
	The oldest working democracy.
	Thank you.
	Very good point.
	And the first one to topple.
	Literally topple.
	I'll put a couple of links in about Iceland.
	It's horrible.
	Horrible what is happening there.
	So yeah, Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	Oh man, don't make me laugh.
	No, no, no.
	There's no freedom there.
	People are like, oh, it's such a liberal place.
	No way.
	Absolutely not.
	You can't fart without paying a tax.
	And, you know, they've got the black boxes coming to the cars there to track you wherever you go.
	Meanwhile, back at home...
	Sounds like Singapore.
	Now you can still chew gum in Holland.
	But that's about it.
	Yeah, man.
	So Ron Paul...
	Congressman Ron Paul, who, of course, people were laughing at during the last presidential election.
	Laughing at him.
	So the guy's been pretty right, wouldn't you say?
	Wouldn't you say he's been kind of on the money with everything?
	John?
	Yeah, no, I'm a fan.
	Okay, good.
	So on the 15th of January...
	He was doing this campaign for liberty.
	You know, he took whatever was left of his campaign money and he started the campaign for liberty.
	And he's in Atlanta, Georgia.
	And I want you to hear what he says about the CIA. Now, this is a U.S. congressman, the one who's been right about...
	Now, when was this done?
	It says 15th.
	Yeah, 15th of January.
	Okay, so this is recent.
	Yeah, last week.
	Last week.
	Listen to what he's saying.
	They're almost like they lived in a different world.
	The military's down, the morale is down, the money is in there, therefore I'm looking for a couple more wars to fight.
	It makes no sense whatsoever.
	But no, we don't have to worry about the military anymore because there's been a coup.
	Have you heard?
	It's the CIA coup.
	The CIA runs everything.
	Did you hear that?
	He said the CIA runs everything.
	He says it's been a coup.
	The CIA has committed a coup on the U.S. military.
	The CIA runs everything.
	One more time.
	There's been a coup.
	Have you heard?
	It's like a song.
	There's been a coup, have you heard?
	There's been a coup, have you heard?
	It's the CIA coup.
	The CIA runs everything.
	They run the military.
	They're the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on these countries.
	It's not even the military that does that.
	The CIA runs this.
	And, of course, the CIA is every bit as secret as the Federal Reserve.
	And yet, think of the harm that they have done since they were established since World War II. They are a government unto themselves.
	They're in businesses.
	They're in drug businesses.
	And they take on...
	So he says, you know, they're funded by the Federal Reserve, they're running drugs.
	It's like a U.S. congressman saying this.
	It's pretty wild.
	Let's see how long he lives.
	No, don't make jokes like that.
	I'm not.
	No, don't make, I mean, you know.
	It's not a joke.
	Because he's gone, he's been so right about everything.
	Before, he could be so, oh, like my Uncle Don said, what, the kook from Texas?
	And Uncle Don's a smart guy.
	He gets the...
	He plays the crackpot game.
	Yeah, that's true.
	He's smart.
	And he has...
	Don't want to get none of that.
	But that's for a congressman to be going off like that.
	That's pretty big.
	About the CIA and the drug trade, which of course we talk about.
	You know, Afghanistan is obviously some sort of a drug deal going on.
	It's ridiculous.
	And for all we know, those agents that were blowed up, it may have been part of a drug deal gone bad.
	I mean, that's what every time you have a murder in New York, that's what they always think.
	Yeah.
	Drug deal gone bad.
	I was also following last night on C-SPAN. I don't have any clips or articles, but there's this inquiry.
	And of course, they have to go and blow it.
	They call him the Christmas bomber.
	What the hell is that?
	That's no meme.
	They moved away.
	First they had underwear.
	Of course, crotch bomber is the only appropriate term.
	So it's the Christmas bomber.
	And we've got Napolitano sitting there.
	We've got Blair, I think.
	Is it Blair?
	So we've got that dude who runs that kind of freaky...
	You know, security department of all things security.
	And they start asking the question, like, so who was responsible for Moran?
	So the whole thing is about why is he going to civil court instead of being waterboarded?
	And boy, there was a lot of, like, we know that...
	What is it?
	Covert or non-field manual listed interrogation techniques work.
	Or extra, what is it?
	Extra as in outside of.
	Extra military field manual interrogation techniques.
	We know they work, i.e.
	waterboarding.
	So who made the decision to...
	This is that meme about we know they work.
	How does that meme even make any sense with all the evidence that says that this stuff doesn't work?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Have you noticed how that, I mean, that has slipped into, I mean, the entire Fox News organization has the, it's torture, but it works.
	But it works, but it works, but it doesn't work.
	That's the point of it.
	The only reason you do it is because you want to torture somebody.
	And the funny thing is, is you're like, they're sitting there, why don't they just waterboard these people and get the whole session over with?
	Here, Napolitano, I'm going to ask you a question.
	I'll let you answer it once, and I'm going to waterboard you, and you'll answer it again.
	And then we'll have the answer.
	You know you'll.
	She'll give up, like, in three seconds.
	So anyway, so the question is, who Miranda-ized this guy?
	And I guess once you read someone that Miranda writes, and that's it, right?
	Is that...
	Is that it?
	Then if you tell someone you have the right to remain silent, then they have that right?
	It's like a knighthood, and then all of a sudden you can't do anything else?
	You can't waterboard the guy?
	Is that kind of how it works, John?
	I don't know.
	Well, anyway, so they go down the line, and it's Napolitano.
	2.5, here, wait, here it is.
	2.5 earthquake hit out of...
	Milpitas, about the time you were, I think, if I got my times right here.
	This is just reported.
	It takes forever to get this thing on the site.
	Well, not forever, just a few minutes, but it was in...
	It felt like a little tremor, definitely.
	Yeah, it was probably this...
	It was nothing.
	I'm surprised you...
	Whatever the land...
	Because I didn't feel anything.
	Well, remember, they've been knocking the ground out here across this whole Trans Bay thing.
	Yeah, that's a piece of crap where your building is.
	If it was a real quake, that whole building would probably fall apart.
	No, my building won't.
	My building's sturdy, please tell me.
	Uh-huh.
	Okay.
	So maybe I should, hey, you know what?
	Earthquake machines don't exist.
	What am I saying?
	I must be foolish to think that.
	Anyway, go ahead with the...
	So they go down the line, and these are the three people, the top people of Homeland Security and the CIA, above the CIA, actually, and they all say, well, I don't know.
	It was Justice, Justice Department as well.
	I don't know.
	No one asked me if they could Mirandize him.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I don't know who did it.
	The FBI did it.
	I think the FBI is going to get blamed for a lot of stuff.
	Oh, yeah.
	By the way, we're wrong about the earthquake.
	This is reports from yesterday.
	Another thing that was kind of disturbing, let's just switch gears for a second.
	So this Steve Brown guy, and I just want to throw my two cents in about this.
	We haven't done a lot of...
	I have so much Gitmo Nation East European news, but this has been kind of an...
	Well, we did Haiti.
	That's halfway.
	So Steve Brown comes kind of out of nowhere, and I'm telling you, it could not be more entertainment.
	It could not be more like wrestling, what has just happened before our very eyes.
	So we've got this beautiful-looking black man in the White House.
	And he's trying to do all kinds of stuff, and everyone's yelling about healthcare.
	And then all of a sudden, because of the great healthcare we have, it took him a while, but Ted Kennedy dies.
	They kept him alive for a long time on healthcare that works, as far as I'm concerned.
	He dies, and then his seat opens up, and in Massachusetts, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, where it's been, you know, this is the bluest of all blue states.
	Democrats have, I guess, ruled there forever, if I can believe the reports.
	All of a sudden, it's up for grabs, and the president even goes, and he gets heckled as he tries to show his support for the Democratic candidate, Coakley.
	And then all of a sudden, there's this dude who's been riding around in a pickup truck who's beautiful, beautiful white man.
	And he's an ex-model.
	He was an actor.
	Naked model.
	He was an actor.
	He's a good-looking man.
	You know, he's beautiful.
	He has a beautiful family.
	You know, it's like total clean-cut.
	The shit we used to joke about in Europe.
	His wife's an anchor on the news.
	Yeah, we used to joke about this when I was living in Europe.
	Like, American politicians are so fake.
	They've got fake hair, fake tans, fake teeth.
	This is that guy.
	Okay.
	And he's got a political career.
	He was state-centered, and before that he was like something of something.
	But he's a rookie.
	Remind you of anybody?
	Yeah.
	But the Tea Party, because I looked at teaparty.org, They're hailing this as, like, the savior, because, of course, he takes this magic, legendary 60th seat, so the Democrats don't have a filibuster-proof supermajority.
	No, no, wait a minute, stop.
	They don't have a supermajority, they have...
	They have 59 votes, which can pass anything, and they own the House, and they have a president that's a Democrat, but they can't.
	Now they're screwed because of this one vote.
	Give me a break.
	These guys are finers.
	They're looking for an excuse to get out of this.
	To get out of it.
	And so I was thinking, so first I'm seeing all this, I'm like...
	I mean, I don't know if I'm just the only person who sees it.
	I see, you know, like, we've got the beautiful-looking black man.
	He's not doing too well.
	As they said on Jon Stewart's show, you know, he's not a magic Negro, which has cracked me up, that whole skit.
	And then we've got this beautiful-looking, clean-cut white guy, and it's like, he's coming in, he's like the hero, and it's the people's vote, and the independents have shown the way, and the Tea Party, which, by the way, I think would be horrible if the Tea Party really endorsed this guy.
	I mean, he could be fast-tracking right up to the presidency, because he is a Republican.
	Well, it's always a possibility because, you know, they're going to, I believe, I think that Sarah is still, Sarah Palin is still the...
	But we need to fight, of course, we need the beautiful man and the beautiful woman to fight it out with each other.
	It's theater, John.
	It is complete theater.
	We know the Democrats are running everything.
	I'm kind of annoyed by another meme that I keep hearing, and I've heard it a number of times.
	It mostly comes out of Fox, which, of course, we believe is a Democrat-run organization, so it would be disinformation.
	These memes would be created for the purposes of screwing things up.
	Yes.
	And the meme is, well, you know, I wish you could remember who was saying this, but it was somebody, and they were dead serious.
	We need a, you know, what we really need as a president is a common person.
	Just a guy off the street.
	Somebody who...
	Who drives a pickup truck.
	Yeah, right.
	Someone who just represents every man.
	Someone who's not, you know, some over-educated, Hoyt-Floyton guy who can speak 40 languages.
	And I'm thinking, if you take a look at the Founding Fathers, especially the Tea Party people should particularly re-examine this, because the Founding Fathers, these guys, if you start looking at their bios, they're all geniuses.
	They were extremely intelligent.
	They were well-read.
	They were well-traveled.
	They were like George Bush, who had never before he became president even left the United States, except perhaps across over to Mexico to drink.
	To go get some tequila.
	He was never anywhere.
	And Sarah Palin's never been anywhere.
	She's pretty much a local girl that just has never seen anything.
	So you get no confluence of ideas.
	You're just kind of basically a local yokel.
	And they want that to be the president?
	You don't want that to be the president.
	You want somebody that's smarter than you to be the president, not somebody dumber than you to be the president.
	I mean, it makes no sense whatsoever.
	But the meme is out there, and they keep pushing it.
	So I had a thought about this.
	So you had a pretty interesting theory about...
	About the health insurance stocks, which of course were skyrocketing.
	Could this be the dump?
	What happened?
	Have you been tracking it?
	We go over the theory, which was that they had to push this bill, this health care bill.
	The reason they pushed it through the Senate is, and they actually ramrodded it through there, because they had to get it finished and into committees to consolidate the two bills, and that's when they could slip in the public option back and then roll it back into the two houses to vote for it.
	This particular scenario that I described, which was a month or two ago...
	Not even, not even, not even.
	A month ago.
	Well, it was a month ago, but it was before...
	The failure in Massachusetts.
	The entire scenario did rely, I believe, on having the supermajority because that's the only way you could prevent some sort of a screw-up.
	And the Democrats, with all their arrogance and sanctimonious style, honestly believed that this annoying woman, Coakley, who I believe lost not because of any political perspective, but because she was not well-liked.
	She didn't...
	Made a lot of faux pas.
	She's misspelled the state's name.
	She was critical of one of the great...
	All stuff that is totally avoidable and trainable.
	And I think she threw the match.
	I don't think so.
	I think she blew the match.
	And I don't think she threw the match.
	But that theory is valid.
	Thank you.
	But...
	I'm not seeing it.
	But it is valid.
	The point is...
	Now they have a situation that one crappy vote seems to have set them back, even though it really shouldn't, because you can still pass whatever you want.
	But...
	There's one little wild card here that I think we may or may not see.
	And I think it's going to be an attempt, perhaps, by the Republicans to actually filibuster.
	Now, we haven't had a good...
	Well, of course.
	I mean, we're flying the plane upside down.
	Here we come.
	We've got to plug in the USB stick because we've got the skeleton key.
	I mean, it's drama.
	It's written...
	John, this is so obvious.
	They need to put something in the 10 o'clock slot, which will be NBC Dateline on NBC, owned by GE, in there with Obama.
	They're creating drama for the 10 o'clock slot.
	Now, but here's the wild card that's not being paid, nobody's paying any attention to, including you.
	In the Internet age, we have never seen a filibuster.
	Wait, we have.
	We have Mr.
	Smith Goes to Washington.
	Well, besides seeing the...
	With Brad Pitt.
	Come on, I got that on BitTorrent, so stop.
	That's not true.
	We have not seen a real filibuster during the internet era.
	This is great entertainment.
	But it might not be.
	The possibility exists that this thing would be such a snore fest that it would just make the Republicans look like idiots, which is very easy to do.
	I don't know.
	I'm sorry.
	No, I disagree.
	I think it was a big gamble.
	I disagree.
	I guarantee you, if you give me access, I can make a reality show out of a filibuster.
	I can already see it.
	Ten o'clock tonight, the filibuster continues.
	Our formula is this.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out.
	We hit people in the mouth.
	NBC must see TV tonight.
	The filibuster continues.
	Continues.
	Possibly.
	It's possible if you get the right people in there.
	But what I'm seeing thus far is I'm not seeing these...
	I'm not seeing it.
	But it's possible.
	We'll be cutting live to it.
	If you had a good producer doing this kind of stuff, yeah.
	We'd have a show.
	And we can have dramatizations of it.
	We can have behind the scenes.
	We can have the triage unit where these guys like passing out.
	No, it'd be just like the Michael Jackson trial, which became this huge carnival.
	Thank you.
	We didn't even see that much.
	We'll have sketches.
	We'll have composite sketches of what's going on, but it'll be live on C-SPAN. Well, screw C-SPAN. Anderson Cooper Vanderbilt here for Anderson Vanderbilt 360.
	Yeah, while we're here, right behind this very door is where the filibuster continues.
	You probably saw some of the high drama tonight.
	Let's take a look at the videotape.
	I'm sorry, that was Warner Wolf.
	I like what you're saying.
	I think it could come to that.
	You still haven't looked at the financials for these insurance companies for me.
	Oh, you wanted me to do that in real time?
	You do it just real quick.
	Just take a quick look.
	Don't you have your portfolio all set up?
	I was going to put money on this.
	I was totally buying into your theory.
	I think the theory is still valid.
	But it's a pump and dump.
	So they pumped it up.
	It was the highest in 52 years, the stock prices of these companies, when they went in around...
	It was around the same time when you said, this is the theory...
	You said, look, all these stocks are up, but everyone's short, especially all of these senators and congressmen who do on average 12% better with their stock portfolios.
	They always leave government rich.
	It used to be they'd just go back to their tractor, their farming job.
	And by the way, the men who wrote the Constitution were farmers and blacksmiths and kind of crazy dope-smoking dudes.
	They were genius, but not because they were so educated.
	They weren't a bunch of lawyers.
	And so your theory was that they're going to pull the public option, but maybe we pull the whole thing all together, really dump it, so these stocks must have tanked.
	They must be tanking on this news.
	Why would they be tanking on this?
	Oh, you mean because people are worried?
	Yeah, because the meme is out there that, wait a minute, they're already talking about the whole thing not passing at all.
	Yeah, but see, that wouldn't tank the stock.
	It would tank the pump and dump deal.
	Well, so how's it doing?
	Well, the stocks are not at their highs.
	I'm looking at various stocks here.
	I need to find one of the...
	Anderson Coop turd.
	One of the...
	Thanks, chat room.
	Anderson Koopterd.
	Here in the hallowed halls of the Capitol.
	I'm Anderson Koopterd, where tonight we continue.
	Here's a spider.
	This might work.
	I'm looking for some kind of an index that would trade most.
	Okay, well here's one of these ETFs.
	This thing hit the rock bottom at about $25 and it's moved up to...
	There's no evidence.
	Everything's still moving up.
	One of our producers sent a money-making idea to us, and he said, we should put together an ETF on the senator's stock portfolios.
	He said, you know, you can probably get that information.
	It must be public somewhere, and you just put an ETF together and track it, and you'll win.
	That's not a bad idea.
	I'll talk to Horowitz about that.
	He said, you should do it before Goldman Sachs does.
	Yeah.
	What would you call the Senate ETF? Yeah, something like that.
	You have to have a really jazzy name for it.
	No, we've got to have a joke name so that we all know.
	It's a joke name.
	Everyone's in on the gag.
	But we'd all make lots of money.
	It would be great.
	So democracy, by the way, John, as we're kind of on the government, democracy in the United States is officially over as of this morning.
	As the Supreme Court came down with a very interesting decision, you were probably basting your meat or printing out your notes.
	No, I actually have it on my printout.
	You want to talk about this?
	Because this is a very important vote, a 5-4 vote, and I'm not quite sure who voted how.
	But in the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, overturned a 20-year ruling that says corporations are prohibited from using money from their general treasuries to pay for campaign ads.
	This, of course, opens the door for labor unions to participate more freely in campaigns and And basically indoctrinate people.
	Because we choose our presidents and our representatives in the United States the same way we choose our peanut butter, by repetitious advertising on television.
	Pretty much.
	So, it seems like, this kind of surprised me, that Sonia Sotomayor was against it.
	That she was against what?
	She was against this ruling, but she voted against this taking place.
	And I thought for sure she'd be on board.
	This ruling assumes, it doesn't surprise me, because this ruling assumes, the media has twisted it to give it to the labor unions.
	Oh, the labor unions, they're going to do something, you know.
	I don't know why, because the fact that, which is the scare, I don't know who, because the fact of the matter is this ruling is designed to give corporations an easier street, an easier route into pumping tons of money, you know, like Monsanto, for example, and You're just too fast on the draw for me, John.
	Would be one of the companies that would be very much into this sort of thing.
	Now, Sotomayor may actually be honest about the fact that this is a bad thing.
	The other guys are, you know, I don't know what they're thinking.
	I think that old law that corporations can't donate a nickel to anybody is more apt.
	Which is what it was, but now it's over.
	That's gone.
	No, they can still donate through various...
	Well, yeah, they force all their employees and all that.
	There's a million ways that it's done.
	But now you don't have to hide it.
	It's like, boom, here's a check.
	Go for it.
	Yeah, I think if I was them, I'd be hiding it anyway.
	So, actually, we never got back to Steve Brown.
	I couldn't find, because he raised a lot of money.
	Where did he get his money from?
	That's the first thing I want to know.
	And I can't find it anywhere.
	I guess that reporting takes place much later.
	It doesn't matter.
	Yeah, when it doesn't matter.
	I'm guessing he got his money from health.
	Here would be my bet.
	Yeah.
	Archer, Daniels, Midland, Monsanto, and healthcare industry.
	That's where he got his money.
	I guess you're right.
	But you know what?
	Coakley probably got her money from the same guys.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	Plus the SEIU. So...
	So...
	Just...
	I hesitate to do it, but I kind of have to.
	It's the no-agenda swine flu.
	This makes up for my...
	No, I'll move away.
	It just starts with swine flu.
	First of all, I'd like to say that Gitmo Nation in the Netherlands...
	Remember the guy who was pushing the vaccine in the Netherlands?
	We had that video clip of him popping open a cognac or champagne when they find out that the first person had H1N1 in the Netherlands.
	Like, yay!
	Now we can distribute the vaccine!
	Yay!
	So they're investigating him for having been funded by pharmaceutical companies as he was the advisor to the government.
	But now the World Health Organization has released a report from their expert working group.
	And, of course, the WHO... They implemented the level 6 pandemic.
	They changed the rules on it a couple months before all this stuff hit.
	And, of course, we've had about 40% of the mortality rate of swine flu that we have of regular flu.
	On this wave, of course, another wave could come.
	But now they're saying, well, you know, we've got to find a financial mechanism for funding the World Health Organization's mandate of transferring health technologies to the developing world.
	And they came up with the following ideas.
	An arms trade tax, which would be a 10% tax on the weapons trade.
	A financial transaction tax, which would be levied on paying bills online.
	So if you pay your bill, they're going to tax you over that.
	That was kind of interesting.
	But my most favorite was a digital tax.
	Yielding billions of U.S. dollars from a broad base of users by taxing the amount of bandwidth you use.
	Where did you read this?
	I've got the report right here.
	It's a PDF, even.
	Well, that doesn't mean anything.
	Okay, I'll send you a link to a site where I got it from.
	Hold on a second.
	The link's right there, and you can take a look...
	About the second paragraph, there's the PDF to the report.
	It looks like an official report.
	And it sounds like them.
	I mean, come on, these guys aren't hiding anything.
	We know that.
	And if you go to page 9, John, there's the financing proposals.
	Having considered a wide range of options, the working group put forward the following fundraising proposal based on the likelihood they can generate new funds for health research and development in a sustainable way.
	It's who needs to be dismantled.
	Yeah.
	Totally.
	I mean, that woman that runs it, she seems like a moral.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, she's frightening.
	She's frightening.
	She reminds me of Miss Swan that used to be the character on the Mad TV show.
	I never really watched that show.
	No, there's this one character that Alex Borstein, I think is her last name, did.
	And...
	So, of course, you know, typically I would have said of the Massachusetts victory, I would have said, oh, well, you know, they used the Diebold machines, which have been proven to be hackable.
	So, and again, it was a part of the big push to get some new 10 o'clock drama on NBC. The whole idea is to create some kind of reality show with a filibuster.
	I'm pretty sure they rigged the machines.
	And they've got another little trick up their sleeves, which is the legislation which is coming up, and it's probably being hidden by Hope for Haiti now, universal voter legislation.
	Oh, yeah.
	Which is very interesting because the way universal voter legislation works is every single list the state has.
	So, you know, it used to be really hard to get people to register to vote.
	So we've come up with this brilliant idea.
	We'll just register you automatically.
	No matter what list we've got from you, if we have a telemarketing phone list, anything we've got, we're automatically registering you to vote.
	And, of course, what you'll see there is all these people, most of them dead, We'll wind up voting.
	Because, you know, it's easy to implement that into the dealer machines.
	This comes from a meme that the left has been passing around, and I pulled it off the Thom Hartman show, which apparently is a speech given to a Christian.
	Is that from Thom Hartman and the Canadian in the morning?
	This was pulled from apparently a speech that somebody named Paul, I'm not sure if this is, Paul Weyrich, I guess was a Republican strategist who was given to a megachurch about 15 years ago.
	If you play this, this is what is triggering, because this meme has been going on for a while and the Democrats have concluded that they have to implement this other process.
	Play this clip.
	I'm sorry, which one is it?
	Paul Weyrich.
	Oh, got it.
	How many of our Christians have what I call the goo goo syndrome.
	Good government.
	They want everybody to vote.
	I don't want everybody to vote.
	Elections are not won by a majority of people.
	They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now.
	As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.
	Brilliant.
	Brilliant.
	There is a, of course, there's somewhat out of context because if you're running a campaign or you're running for office, you obviously don't want everybody to vote.
	You want only people that will vote for you to vote.
	Of course.
	So that's the logic.
	I mean, that's really the underlying logic, which makes nothing but sense.
	But this is seen as some sort of, the commentary here is interesting because it reflects on a number of issues that are going on.
	The first one is that, well, let's just get everybody to vote because apparently the Republicans, when everybody votes, they tend to vote a little bit toward the Democratic side.
	Especially if they're dead.
	It does help if you are deceased.
	D for Democrat, D for deceased.
	And once you get universal voter registration, you're just basically wide open for voter fraud, which is another reason that this guy was discussing this.
	But there's an underlying belief amongst the liberals in particular that...
	Because Clinton has said this.
	I remember when he came on the...
	It was Letterman or Leno at the time, and he said that we're going to win this time.
	It turns out that the people who are voting in this particular round of elections are highly educated, and then Clinton made this comment, and as you know, if somebody's highly educated, they're more likely to vote Democratic.
	The Democrats earnestly believe that they're superior, that they're superior.
	They have a superiority complex.
	That's absolutely true.
	But what's wrong with this picture is the fact that and I think the big botch of the Obama administration, which people have to take into account, is that he had three things he kept hounding on.
	It was education, health and energy.
	And the first thing he actually went after was energy with cap and trade and global warming, and even though it didn't go very far because of one thing or another, the next thing he did almost kind of in parallel was his health care reform.
	What has he done about education?
	Because the real problems of this country...
	How about money for college?
	Wasn't that a big promise?
	There's a bunch of stuff, but if he had gone after education...
	You can take that to the bank.
	If he had gone after education initially, instead of these other two things, and put that in place, if the Democrats are correct in their belief that if you're smarter and go to college, you're going to vote Democratic.
	You'd want more people to be smart and go to college.
	You'd want more people to be smarter than go to college.
	The opposite is true, John.
	We all know that they want us to be dumb.
	This is why homeschooling is being outlawed.
	Exactly.
	They want us to be dumb.
	And the fact that Obama's done nothing, and by the way, if he would have been very easily successful doing education, who's going to vote against half this stuff?
	You can't do it.
	You get voted out.
	And it wouldn't be as horrible a problem for him as he's created for himself because he's got these other things which are impossible to conquer, but education's not.
	And he does nothing about education.
	It's what he should have started with.
	So obviously he didn't really have anything.
	He didn't want education.
	He wants to screw the public.
	I figure if I get worked up like that, Dan, you'll play that clip.
	Absolutely.
	A quick little note from one of our producers through the email from Michelle Malkin's website.
	Responding to this Ron Paul, the CIA coup of the army, essential quote from the piece, he is essentially, here it comes John, he is essentially a conspiracy theorist whose presence in Congress is much more problematic than beneficial for conservatives and the GOP with whom he's nominally associated.
	You know, they're not going to kill him with two to the head.
	They're just going to smear him.
	They're going to completely smear him.
	No, they can't.
	He's already been smeared.
	No, no, no.
	But Fox keeps pulling him in for quotes, and they're going to stop.
	Maybe it's this quote that is going to...
	This is the Howard Dean quote.
	This is the Howard Dean quote for Ron Paul.
	Mark my words.
	They're going to marginalize him completely.
	That was Howard Dean saying that?
	No, no, no.
	That was Michelle Malkin saying that.
	But you remember Howard Dean?
	He had the Dean scream that blew his whole chance for ever becoming president.
	So Michelle Malkin?
	Yes, Michelle Malkin.
	Yes.
	Really?
	Yeah, because she's run by the Democrats, John.
	Come on.
	Come on.
	You know this.
	She is COINTELPRO if you've ever seen it.
	And I know you like her.
	That is a giveaway.
	That's a dead giveaway.
	That is COINTELPRO, definitely.
	Dead giveaway.
	Yeah, she should have just shut up about that.
	Yep.
	So we're on to Michelle Malkin now.
	There's only going to be two people left.
	That's a shame.
	There's nobody left.
	I mean, Glenn Beck is just a comedian.
	Yeah, just us.
	Just you and me talking on the Skypes, my friend.
	Only twice a week because we can't afford to quit our lousy day jobs to do it more often.
	That'll be it.
	I don't see any big funding coming in from the CIA. If they were smart, I mean, how does COINTELPRO work?
	Why wouldn't they fund us?
	I don't get it.
	It makes no sense.
	It's totally baffling.
	It is.
	It is a mystery.
	You know what it is?
	They're not listening.
	They don't care.
	Internet?
	If we were on real radio, then we'd be rolling in the dough.
	We'd have books.
	Crap, really?
	I have something I have to say.
	Okay, Golden Globes.
	I saw the Golden Globes.
	You watch...
	Wait a minute, listen.
	I saw a part of them.
	You saw the entire show and you're complaining to me.
	May I point out that I live with an actor.
	So, it's essential show business...
	But I will say, we have a lot of fun just sitting there like the two old dudes from the Muppets and making fun of everybody.
	So it was quite enjoyable.
	But I watched the whole thing.
	I'm kind of a fan of Ricky Gervais.
	And I personally, there was a lot of very English-oriented British humor, and I thought it was very funny.
	And I think a lot of it was lost on...
	On some of the American audience, like, ooh, I can't believe he said that, ooh, you know, he's cracking some jokes about Haiti and stuff, and that's the deprecating, kind of defacing humor that the Brits are known for, that I actually like very much.
	I love the fact that he drank a beer on TV, and it was a real beer, and of course, right after that, the first commercial was Stella Artois, one of the biggest sponsors of the show, so that was just complete placement.
	Stella, by the way, probably no longer being delivered thanks to the horrible crisis in the beer sector of AB InBev, which is a huge crisis.
	Let me mark that one.
	That's a good one, John.
	I think yours is better, but that's not bad.
	Okay.
	So the Mad Men show wins the best drama on TV, and as they all come up...
	And the dude has a beard.
	Sorry?
	What's his name?
	Oh yeah, the main guy's got a beard.
	Yeah, he's got a beard.
	It looks kind of good on him.
	Yeah, he looks fine.
	But anyway, he's kind of a goofball.
	I've seen him on one of the talk shows.
	He's a better actor than he is a personality.
	Anyway, so the producer comes out and he immediately sees him winding up.
	He says, well, I'm glad that he makes some comments because they're telling me to wind up already.
	He hasn't even said anything.
	He didn't say anything.
	Well, here was the problem.
	So what they did wrong with this show, and I noticed it from the first award, they didn't have a path for the winners to get on stage.
	Everyone's like, oh, do I go left?
	Do I go right?
	Well, there was that, too.
	Yeah, it was horrible.
	But these guys got on stage real quick because they were right off on the side.
	So they got right on stage, and just as they got on stage, they're telling them to rap it.
	So I started watching this saying, why are they making these poor schlubs rap when they won the best of, and they should be able to ramble on as long as they want to?
	No, because we had Leo and Marty and Bobby coming on stage.
	No, that's not the reason.
	I was timing this.
	The reason was, unless it was a show done by NBC or a movie by NBC... Universal.
	They rushed him off the stage.
	You are so right.
	Hmm.
	There was one NBC Universal movie that came out and they talked for hours.
	Yeah, I give you that.
	You are so right.
	Bingo.
	And there were a couple of good anti-NBC jokes, like, you know, saying to other networks, like, thank you for believing in 10 o'clock primetime drama.
	Oops, slam!
	I love Gervais.
	I may have had a couple of good NBC zingers.
	And by the way, the executives have no humor when it comes to that.
	Oh, no.
	They do not like it.
	They do not like it.
	Ricky Gervais, they already were slamming him the next day.
	Ratings up, Gervais down.
	He's out.
	He will never work for NBC again.
	Well, I don't think he works for...
	No, he does work for...
	You're right, he works for NBC. Yeah.
	Where's the office?
	That's why he got that job.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, he's in for a big surprise.
	That's okay.
	CBS would love to have him.
	And by the way, talking about executives with no sense of humor, the clip we're going to play after we wrap the show, which is a Letterman clip, discusses this exact issue.
	Really?
	We were in simpatico here.
	Hey, we're totally in simpatico.
	So do you want to play a couple more of your clips before we leave?
	Because you've got...
	I only have one.
	No, you have two.
	You've got Nukes Iran-Israel.
	Hey, John, bummer.
	Sounds like a bummer clip.
	The Nukes Iran-Israel clip is an extreme bummer.
	Let's do it.
	Come on.
	Come on, do it, do it, do it.
	Let me set it up.
	This is the most depressing clip I collected, and I don't know if we can even talk about it.
	We can just play it, and then we can just say, gee, give some money to No Agenda Show.
	This is at the Heritage Foundation.
	Oh, yes.
	Okay.
	Charles Krauthammer.
	Answering a question after he gave this long speech, which was mostly a point-by-point critique of Obama.
	He doesn't care much for, apparently.
	But somebody asked the question about, what is the scenario with Iran, Israel?
	And Krauthammer believes that it's already set in stone, and this is what's going to happen, and he explains it.
	And you walk away from that one going, oh, great.
	Sell short.
	Europe and the Obama administration have more or less accepted a nuclear-armed Iran.
	Do you suspect that Israel will, in fact, attack?
	And if they do, how do you foresee the consequences of all of that happening?
	I think, in the end, Israel will.
	And the consequences will be very, very grave.
	The only question I think for the Israelis now is a technical one.
	Can this be done?
	Do they have enough intelligence?
	Is the stuff that's critical accessible by air attack or not?
	Do they have the resources, the refueling capacity to do major damage that would set them back?
	A few years.
	The Israelis are not imagining they're going to get a solution, but it gives them time.
	And when you're a small country and you have a history, the history that the Jews have, even a few years is important, even if you have to...
	If you only have a temporary respite.
	But what will happen is predictable.
	Iranians will try to strike back, probably scuttleships in the Persian Gulf too.
	To shut down the oil trade, double the price of oil around the world, set off a worldwide recession, unleash Hezbollah, which probably has about 40,000 rockets to attack Israel.
	Hamas would do the same from the south so involve Israel in two very very hot wars immediately it will be very dangerous and difficult for the Israelis a very hard choice to make nonetheless and I find it almost impossible to believe that they will accept six million Jews living under the threat of nuclear annihilation Wow by the way would have
	There would have been a meme there, six million Jews, which is the exact number that is talked about as the Holocaust number.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Particularly given the history of Jewish people, and I think that will trump all other considerations.
	They can deal with the other problems, I think they think, which are at a conventional level.
	They have dealt with those in the past.
	But a nuclear country pledged openly to the eradication of Israel and the killing of all its inhabitants is a threat that I don't think the Israelis will live with.
	Alright, do you want my assessment of this?
	Go.
	Or do you want to go first?
	I don't have any assessment.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, it's very simple, because I have the script right here.
	This will not take place.
	There will be a massive earthquake in Iran.
	The United States, and Israel, by the way, will come to Iran's aid...
	And we will occupy the country silently.
	Haiti is just a little test run, how we can do it.
	It's in the script, right here.
	Exterior, earthquake.
	And we see interior, Ahmadinejad running for cover into doorway.
	Let me just turn it over here.
	George Clooney, by the way, is slated for this production.
	And it's not going to happen.
	There will be a natural disaster.
	It may not be an earthquake, although it's most logical.
	But there will be a natural disaster of epic proportions.
	And the United States and Israel will come to Iran's aid and take over the country.
	Haiti just being a...
	It's like off-Broadway.
	Haiti is just the off-Broadway version of the next playbill.
	And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
	I like it.
	Yeah, no, you mark my words and I have to say we've been right many, many times on this very program.
	It would actually be a positive scenario compared to the one...
	Yeah, I don't like...
	That was a bummer.
	And people don't like that kind of ending.
	That's why it's not going to happen.
	Yeah, but thank you.
	But it's also not going to happen that way.
	Let's hope so.
	Yeah, let's hope there's an earthquake of epic proportions.
	Yeah, that's a nice one, John.
	Great.
	Saving lives here on No Agenda.
	We do appreciate your help.
	We really do need it.

	It's good to be.
	Yeah.
	So that Letterman clip is coming up.
	Coming to you from a ground-trembling Gitmo Nation West Crackpot Command Center in San Francisco, California, in the morning.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And it's in the morning somewhere all the time, and I'm here in northern Silicon Valley, where the rain, since the commute's over now, the rain is slowing down.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will talk to you again on Sunday after Hope for Haiti Now, Saturday night.
	Join us for the early morning service right here on No Agenda.
	Thank you very much.
	I don't know if you're aware exactly of what's going on at NBC, but we talked about it a little bit.
	And it's Jay, it's Conan, and it's me, and every now and then Jimmy Kimmel comes in and causes some trouble, which is great.
	Just fantastic.
	So, and nobody knows what to do.
	Conan would like to stay.
	They said, no, you should go.
	And he said, no, I want to stay.
	And so now they've got to throw him out.
	But to throw him out, he gets $30 million.
	And Jay, of course, all Jay keeps saying is, yeah, you know, I think there's room for everybody.
	Thank you for everybody.
	And so now all of a sudden comes this outpouring of anger directed at Jay, who is America's best friend.
	He's the guy next door, when you need to borrow a wrench to fix your lawnmower, or when you need your lawnmower fixed, Jay will come over, and he's got his blue jeans on, and he's got his blue jean shirt, and he, you know, got that thing, and he rolls up his sleeve and he goes to work.
	Or let's just say you're driving from Omaha to St.
	Louis, and your car breaks down.
	Right there by the side of the road is Jay to change your tire.
	It's been documented hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times.
	He's like AAA for the United States.
	For the home viewer, Jay is AAA. He's there.
	He's Johnny on the spot.
	He'll take care of you.
	So, you know, I forgot what I was going to say.
	Well, you're talking about Jay and the whole thing.
	There's Jay, there's Conan, there's you.
	So now, all of a sudden, this outpouring of people are upset, and leave Conan alone, and you had your variety show at 10, leave Conan, give Conan his show at 1130, and don't be such a bully, go somewhere else, get your own show, get your own show, and now, people are jumping on Jay.
	It's unprecedented, I've never seen anything, and I keep saying to people, well, what has he done wrong?
	He's just kind of doing what the network tells him to do.
	They say, Jay, go to 10.
	Yeah, okay, not a bad idea.
	Right.
	So they say, Jay, all right, Jay, the 10 o'clock didn't work.
	Come back to 11.30.
	Okay, sure, if that's what you want.
	Right.
	So...
	And now...
	And now, Conan will be free to go, plus he's got $30 million.
	So it's hard to feel bad for anybody, you know, because everybody makes out in this deal.
	And then I pick up the New York Times on, when is this?
	This was, I guess, Friday morning, the 15th, Friday, January the 15th, 2010.
	Everybody is getting into the story.
	Here's the headline.
	Can you see it right there?
	Executive leaps to Leno's defense.
	So I thought, well, really?
	Now they've got NBC executives defending Jay, who heretofore, why has he needed defending?
	What has he done, you know?
	He's done nothing.
	So listen to this.
	So it's a guy who runs NBC Sports named Dick Ebersole.
	Now, I've known Dick Ebersole.
	You've known Dick Ebersole.
	When we worked at NBC, I've known Dick Ebersole since the late 70s.
	And he was a guy, and he was always a guy, and he still is a guy.
	And he came in to NBC, and he's the one that said, get the Olympics, get the Olympics, get the Olympics.
	And it's been a tremendous success.
	And now they've got the Winter Olympics coming up pretty soon, in a couple of weeks.
	So now, all of a sudden, Dick Ebersole feels he's got to get in there and help Bigjaw.
	So I think...
	What is this?
	How did this happen?
	Right.
	You know, it's like you're wrestling around in the backyard and somebody's mom comes out.
	Okay, come on, boys.
	Break it up.
	Break it up.
	Let's go.
	Don't do that.
	Leave Timmy alone.
	Come on, get off him.
	It's completely unnecessary.
	Come on.
	And plus, Dick Eversall has got things on his mind.
	I mean, the Olympics kick off up there in Vancouver, up there at Whistler.
	Whistler.
	I mean, he really, right now, he should be up there putting the finishing touches on the Bodie Miller story.
	He should be up there picking out sweaters for Bob Costas.
	He doesn't have time for this.
	So.
	Bob, turn around.
	Let me see the one with the reindeer.
	All right, turn around.
	All right, now try the plaid one, Bob.
	All right, let's see what that looks like on camera.
	What about a scarf to go with that, Bob?
	Kind of a thing like that when you're out there with the bobsled boys, a thing like that?
	Why don't you look into that?
	Get yourself a scarf.
	Gloves.
	Get him some gloves.
	So now here's what Ebersole says.
	Out of the blue, and I'm thinking, oh, dick, dick, dick, dick.
	The verbal barbs in this late-night war got louder Thursday as a top NBC executive struck back against on-air attacks on the network's Once and Future Tonight Show host, Jay Leno.
	Now, this is what he said.
	Out of nowhere, he doesn't need to talk about this.
	He really doesn't.
	You know, leave us alone.
	We're having fun.
	Referring to the pointed jokes made this week by Mr.
	O'Brien and David Letterman of CBS, Mr.
	Ebersole said it was chicken-hearted and gutless to blame guys you couldn't beat in the ratings.
	Chicken-hearted and gutless.
	That's what he said.
	He's calling me and Conan O'Brien chicken-hearted and gutless.
	I can't speak for Conan O'Brien.
	Ah.
	I.
	For the sake of the discussion, yes, I'm chicken hearted and yes, I'm gutless.
	But these two characteristics have nothing to do with the current situation.
	I'm telling jokes and making fun of Jay Leno over and over and over, relentlessly, mercilessly, simply for one reason, and that is I'm really enjoying it.
	I don't know.
	It's just fun.
	Oh, that's all I got.
