	When I was a kid, I swear to God, I don't remember ever seeing women going...
	Like that.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's January 24th, 2010.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 168.
	This is No Agenda.
	Following the money from Hollywood to Haiti and coming to you live from the Mineral Security Containment Cell Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation, West San Francisco, California.
	In the morning, I'm Adam Curry.
	And it's cloudy here in northern Silicon Valley and the rain is coming.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, John.
	Well, in the morning to you.
	You know, you've got your compression up so high that it's probably as close to sounding like Jim Rome for you radio listeners out there.
	It makes me sound like a slouch.
	Is this based upon you listening to the actual show?
	Yeah, I did actually.
	I have your compression up pretty high, too.
	You don't like it?
	No, no.
	Yours is like, you sound like you're in a, which is shocking considering you're using a little mic.
	You sound like you're in a big studio with a compressor that's got a big giant knob on it.
	Wait a minute, I can give you some more compression if you want it.
	Maybe a little tremolo or something, a little reverb.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	You've got a little reverb, you just don't hear it.
	Talk.
	Hello, hello.
	Do I have any reverb?
	Do I sound good?
	Yeah, you do now.
	I bet you got me off.
	See, this is the problem with this sort of production.
	It's not a problem.
	It's a problem for me.
	So let's talk about who our executive producers are this week.
	Yes.
	Oh, we have more than one?
	Is that...
	We have our normal contingent of one executive producer and a couple of associates.
	Okay, let's...
	So our executive producer this week is Ian Monroe.
	Isn't that Ian?
	Ian?
	Our executive producer this week is Ian Monroe, River Ridge, Louisiana.
	Yes, Ian.
	Ian!
	Ian!
	John and Adam love the show.
	You guys do a great job reporting real news, more filling, less fluff.
	Whenever I can, I'll donate what I can to ensure the show gets what it can to continue.
	And he's got a web address, ianmonroe.com.
	Well, that's appreciated, because Ian is no stranger to the show.
	He's donated before, I believe, has he not?
	Yeah, he's a regular.
	And he gave us $282, and there's no explanation for the amount.
	Well, $282, a palindrome, perhaps?
	Well, yeah, but jeez, I mean...
	I mean, it could have been $393.
	I mean, yeah, if he wanted to make a palindrome, he could also have done 282...
	Or 1001.
	282...
	Something.
	Anyway, I just got up.
	And we have Dennis Cruz in Beaverton, Oregon.
	He's an associate producer of this show, executive producer.
	And this is interesting.
	He says he got a job Friday...
	So he's giving us, you know, he said he's giving us $1 a day per day that he was out of work.
	Okay, wow.
	So how many days was he out of work?
	206 days.
	Wow!
	That's a lot.
	Well, congratulations on the job, man.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Damn, that's like, what is that, eight, nine months?
	It's almost a long time.
	He was officially a bum, according to our statistics.
	He's not a bum anymore.
	No, he's not.
	He's an executive producer.
	Hell yeah.
	Any more associate executives?
	You got one more.
	Okay.
	And unfortunately, I'll read.
	This is $251 out of Norway.
	Just to make the U.S. dollars one above the obvious.
	Guess I am not the first Norwegian executive or assistant executive producer.
	Please refer to Geir, G-E-I-R, and not my name.
	It will only cause me trouble.
	So please, John, why are they blaming me for this?
	You do me well because you've been known to screw it up.
	One time.
	One time.
	And, by the way, I don't know if I... I guess you can say this because we don't have his last name either.
	He is the father of cover art...
	Oh, of Randy T? Paul T. I'm sorry, yeah?
	Randy T. Paul T. That's right.
	He turned him on to the show, right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, cool.
	I've been keeping track of our...
	He's in Oslo.
	Our official artist.
	That should be a better title than just artwork by...
	Shouldn't it be graphic...
	No, Artwork Buy is a good moniker.
	It's a credit.
	We can do something.
	We'll take the whole crew of them.
	We have a bunch now.
	And we'll just list them off as art directors.
	Okay, our directors, right.
	That's good.
	Well, anyway, Dennis Cruz and Geer, thank you so much for checking in as associate executive producers on No Agenda 168.
	And, of course, our executive producer for this episode of the program, Ian Monroe.
	We highly appreciate it, and you know that this is not just altruism.
	It actually can get you jobs.
	In fact, look at Dennis.
	He donated to the show, and he got a job.
	Yeah.
	I mean, he's donated to the show before, even when he had no job, and there you go.
	He got a job.
	Karma.
	Karma.
	Totally karma.
	So you can put that on your resume, obviously, and use it to your benefit.
	He looks like he's moonlighting.
	Yeah.
	We don't have an official PR associate, but I do want to give a tip of the hat to Matthew Stewart, who, I'm not quite sure where Matthew lives, but he printed out nice little NoAgendaShow.com stickers, and he's been putting them everywhere.
	All right!
	So there's a link to one of his stickers.
	I'm going to actually send out a memo to the artist and ask him if they can design some various size stickers that then people can download and print out and slap on the toll booths of their local toll bridges and whatever else they see.
	By the way, I want to make an announcement.
	Do not do anything illegal with these stickers.
	Right.
	I don't want anybody out there putting the stickers in places where they're not supposed to.
	So just plaster them everywhere.
	I got an email from one of our listener producers who works at a big printing shop.
	And I guess he was making up a huge banner to hang off of some bridge or viaduct or something.
	But don't do anything illegal.
	Well, you know, Berkeley's got this bridge that people are always hanging signs off of.
	It's a recently developed bicycle bridge over the freeway, over Highway 80.
	And every once in a while I see stuff hanging off of it with some signage.
	You know, stop the war, you know, stuff like that.
	But I don't see any reason you shouldn't say www.noagendastream.com.
	Noagendashow.com would be even better.
	Noagendashow.com would be better.
	Yeah, I think it's even better.
	But whatever the case is, I think it would be a good thing to do.
	But if you drive up to the toll booths, you always see these stickers.
	They're all stuck there, and it's just a lot of them are vague.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, so what do you think the top of the news is this week?
	Well, let me guess.
	There's a couple of things, you know, I'm trying to think of as a don't-look-over-here moment because the thing that's fallen by the wayside is the discussion of the tungsten.
	Well, not just the tungsten.
	There's a lot of stuff going on.
	We've got Ben Bernanke desperately trying to be confirmed as the Fed chairman.
	There's definitely some...
	There's definitely some other news.
	And, of course, the anthrax in the heroin.
	Yes!
	Oh, you got the same supply I did, huh?
	Crap.
	Yeah, there's good stuff.
	But I guess we would have to say, without a doubt...
	The distraction of the week on the world's agenda.
	So why don't you play the reason that I couldn't stand watching the Help for Haiti, which we need to discuss because I think it was, you know, this reminds, we've talked about this before, but it has all the earmarks of Hands Across America, Live Aid, you know, where's the money go kind of thing.
	Well, that's the track I took, John.
	I followed the money.
	But let's go into your clips first.
	What do you got?
	Which one do you want?
	Well, here's the one that I think most people...
	I'm just going to play a small clip from...
	Now, I wanted somebody in the chat room to identify this singer.
	She's a really good-looking black...
	She's actually a mulatto of some sort.
	She's a mix.
	I mean, she's gorgeous.
	But she can't sing, apparently.
	What?
	In fact, the...
	You know, she's pretty eye candy.
	So when I was listening to her, I realized now if anybody ever wants to know what the term caterwauling means, I think you should just listen to this clip.
	But I gotta get there Can you send an angel Oh no.
	That's horrible.
	You're better.
	Who is that?
	I can't tell you.
	I don't know if it's Alicia Keys or whoever it is.
	I can't tell.
	No, that can't be Alicia Keys.
	Alicia Keys can really sing.
	Well, I don't know who it is.
	If that was Alicia Keys, then I'm handing in my union card.
	I just tell you, it was unbelievable.
	The chat room will catch up in like 15 seconds.
	They're saying it was Alicia Keys, no?
	Rihanna?
	It can't be Alicia Keys.
	That's impossible.
	No, it was not Britney Spears.
	Well, I'll tell you...
	Just play this.
	Wait, play the beginning again, because I want people to realize that this is caterwauling.
	But I gotta get there.
	Oh, my God.
	Stevie Nicks is another suggestion.
	Okay, okay, I can't take it.
	No, I've got to listen to it now.
	People keep saying Alicia Keys.
	I cannot believe it would be her.
	Angel!
	Alright, so I came home on Friday and this thing was in full swing.
	And I watched, I swear to God, I watched 10 minutes and had to turn it off.
	I mean, I... It was hard to watch.
	It was depressing.
	These people can't sing.
	They obviously said, here, sing this song because it's going to fit right into our theme.
	And it was staged in a way that you...
	If you've ever seen those old, oh, hunger in Africa kind of things with it.
	Yeah.
	With the crawler at the bottom, and there's a certain kind of presentation, and everybody's sad, and it's just designed to separate you from your money.
	By the way, we don't want to discourage anybody from giving money to any charities that are involved in Haiti, specifically this one, but if you are going to do that, why don't you give it to Doctors Without Borders?
	Yes, yeah.
	That's an organization we know is not a scam.
	So, a couple things.
	First of all, apparently it was indeed Alicia Keys, so I'm handing in my union card.
	And thank you very much for saying that right off the top.
	Although the more people I talk to about this telethon and the phony baloneyness of it, and I really want to get...
	I got kind of deep because I was like, this is irritating me to such a degree.
	And we still don't have an official number as to how much money they raised, which is another one of those things.
	If you go to HopeForHaitiNow.org, it's still the same webpage.
	There's absolutely no information about how much money was raised.
	There was no tally, no tote.
	And I got interested, John.
	I said, you know, why don't I just kind of follow the money?
	Where is this money going?
	And yes, I agree with you.
	Please, if you want to help, there's the Schweitzer Hospital up in northern Haiti.
	And even Sandra Bullock, who I think...
	I love Sandra Bullock.
	She donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders to help in Haiti.
	And the Doctors Without Borders, by the way, being turned away at the MTPP Haiti airport.
	I got another story for you on that, too.
	Okay.
	So I followed the money for a minute.
	So, I go to HopeForHaitiNow.org.
	You want to follow with me, John?
	Because it's kind of fun.
	You want me to go on the web?
	Yes.
	Have you heard of it?
	It's really cool.
	Let me boot up my internet.
	Do I have to turn on the internet?
	Yes, you need the webs.
	Just type it into Google.
	Hopeforhaitienow.org.
	Okay, so you go to the FAQs.
	And the FAQs...
	So this was an MTV production, which of course is Viacom.
	Which is Sumner Redstone.
	Sumner Redstone, right.
	And, oh man, I almost don't even know where to start.
	But let me start with the money.
	So how will donations be distributed?
	Because I'm figuring, you know, people are sending money.
	How are they actually sending money?
	Well, through two ways.
	One is an online donation on the web, which I'll get to in a minute.
	And the other one was by texting.
	So you text.
	The first thing that's going to happen is your carrier.
	I guess all carriers had to participate.
	Well, that's another thing, by the way.
	All carriers had to participate.
	There's that, and there's also...
	How does somebody manage to get ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS? It's very simple.
	Very simple.
	And I'll get to that in a second, but that's the Clinton-Bush thing.
	I'll get to that in a minute.
	So, because I do have a theory behind all of this.
	So, point four on the FAQs.
	Donations will be allocated according to each organization's capacity to accept the funds, blah, blah, blah.
	The Hope for Haiti Now Fund is held with the Entertainment Industry Foundation.
	Now, you'll recall, John, these are the guys who announced that they were going to be infiltrating and indoctrinating all media with Serving and...
	Remember, Serve.gov?
	Do you remember?
	No, I don't.
	Yes, you do.
	We talked about it extensively.
	It doesn't mean I can remember.
	This is the 60-, 70-year-old organization that is collecting the money.
	And these are the EIF guys, and they were putting all kinds of messages into the drama series about serving your country and volunteering.
	These characters.
	Exactly.
	So the money goes to them first.
	And then they're going to distribute it equally amongst, at the top of the list, Clinton-Bush-Haiti Fund, UNICEF, American Red Cross, Yale-Haiti, the World...
	What is WFP.org?
	I don't know what that is.
	Oxfam America, which I thought was like all British.
	I thought so too.
	And then Partners in Health.
	But the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund is really at the top of the list because this was the big announcement that was made by President Obama that the two guys actually responsible for screwing Haiti over the past 30 years.
	With Clinton at the top of the list for ruining all of the minimum wage limits in Haiti, or levels, I should say, for removing all of the rice import tariffs, so it totally screwed the country.
	Then you've got George W. Bush, who kidnaps the democratically elected leader of Haiti and drops him off in Central Africa somewhere.
	And I've got tons of links in the show notes.
	The guy is literally still kidnapped.
	He's in the embassy and he's not allowed to do any interviews.
	Aristide.
	Aristide, exactly.
	And it was a great Democracy Now!
	interview where it's laid out exactly how that went.
	They had like...
	A death squad outside the palace and they were saying, look, either you let this other guy come in or we're going to kill you.
	And he said, well, shoot, I don't want to do that.
	And he said, well, you know what, we'll go do a press conference and you can say that you're stepping down.
	And they whisked him right onto a plane and flew him to Central Africa and he's been there since.
	They just kidnapped the guy.
	Anyway, so I digress.
	So hold on a second.
	Listen, because you've got to hear this.
	I'm going to hear it.
	So the money is going to go from the Entertainment Industry Foundation.
	So we've already had the carriers in there who are taking it from your bill, apparently.
	Then it's going to the EIF. They are then going to disperse it to the ClintonBushHaitiFund.org, which, by the way, is not yet a fund.
	Because if you look at the ClintonBushHaitiFund about the fund, they actually say here...
	The Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund will do this by working with and supporting the efforts of reputable 501c3, non-governmental, non-profit organizations, blah, blah, blah.
	President Clinton and Bush oversee the Clinton-Bush Haiti Foundation through their respective non-profit organizations.
	So the money's not actually going to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund.
	No, it's going to the William J. Clinton Foundation and on behalf of George Bush, the Communities Foundation of Texas.
	So I start looking into these two.
	Now, the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation, which did about $240 million last year, interestingly, only $4 million from donations.
	I'm not quite sure where the others $236 million came from.
	Saudi Arabia.
	Spends $30 million in salaries and benefits on an annual basis.
	Because I looked at the report.
	You can download it.
	It does not list any directors or anyone who's a part of this foundation.
	And, of course, there's a beautiful building.
	Anyway, so I guess that money's okay.
	But then you look at what George W. Bush's foundation is.
	It's the Community Foundation of Texas, who have about $700 million.
	And by the way, all of this stuff, they invested, and they've got investment fund managers.
	And then, of course, we have on the board Sarah Nelson, the Chief Philanthropy Officer.
	Who joined the Community Foundation of Texas after more than a decade of working at the Rand Corporation.
	Keh!
	Exactly.
	So then I look at how those guys are actually...
	And by the way, if you look at...
	So the Clinton Foundation has everything all about Haiti and Leonardo DiCaprio donated a million dollars to the foundation.
	But he's not.
	He's donating it directly to the Clinton Foundation.
	There is no such thing as the Clinton-Bush-Haiti Fund.
	It doesn't exist.
	Well, that's why I wanted to point out to you that if you go to the Hope for Haiti Now website and click on the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, you find out where it links to.
	Well, no, it links to the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund.
	Really?
	It does on my page?
	You didn't click on it.
	I clicked on it.
	It goes back to Hope for Haiti Now.
	Hold on a second.
	Where's the link?
	Well, if you look on the left, there's all these little logos.
	Oh, yeah, right.
	Just above UNICEF. They don't even clink at all.
	When I clink, it doesn't do anything.
	Clink?
	When I clink on it, it doesn't clunk.
	No, I click on it, and it just reopens the page.
	It's a scam.
	Well, so...
	So give them, yeah, right, just throw money away.
	Wait, I'm not even done yet.
	Well, go on.
	So then I'm like, okay, why don't I try and donate some money and see what the path is?
	Because you can also do it online.
	And this is being handled by...
	Hold on, I've got to find it now.
	Okay, visit our online donation page.
	So you click that, and the first thing you get is untrusted connection!
	Ha ha ha ha ha!
	And I'm like, okay, why is this an untrusted connection?
	And there's this black bod, I think it's called.
	Hold on a second.
	There's a huge outfit that...
	I don't know if I can find it here.
	Yeah, Blackbaud On Demand.
	They're the ones handling the online donations.
	This is a huge public company who do all kinds of services.
	And so they're supposedly the leaders in online donations for non-profit foundations.
	And they're throwing up an untrusted connection.
	So I look at the certificate.
	It's a certificate from Equifax.
	Equifax is the people who do your credit rating.
	So we are now five steps removed from this money going basically into the fund of Bill Clinton and then some Texas fund, which, by the way, in the news stories, the last news story they have, last press release, is January 13th.
	The Salmon's Dallas Foundation contributes historic $100 million gift to six Dallas organizations.
	They couldn't even be bothered to put a press release out about the fact that money is flowing into their fund for Haiti.
	They couldn't even be bothered, these bastards.
	They can't be bothered because maybe they're just holding the money for a while until Haiti needs it.
	By the way, so I'm watching this show and Clinton comes on.
	Yeah, of course, because he's like, send me money!
	Well, he talks about how he's had a belated honeymoon in Haiti with his lovely wife, Hillary.
	And he goes on about that, but he mentions, because this is the reason I was interrupting you earlier, because as soon as you mentioned Clinton being one of the guys that screwed over Haiti...
	Which I think most people would agree with.
	Why is he all of a sudden...
	I never knew this, by the way.
	He announced it.
	He said it.
	He said he's the special UN envoy to Haiti.
	So basically, before the catastrophe, he was named the special envoy to Haiti, and his wife has apparently some holdings in the northern part of the country where they want to build a couple of Clinton hotels.
	Resorts, yeah.
	Isn't this a little sketchy?
	No, it's not sketchy, John.
	It is sickening.
	Because whether you believe in earthquake machines or not, it is very clear that...
	So why in the hell?
	I mean, just think for a moment, people.
	Think.
	Why does President Obama call up the very two guys who have helped screw this country...
	And why were they screwing it?
	Because exactly for this reason.
	Everybody was ready.
	The science was in.
	We were all set.
	We were patrolling offshore.
	We were ready to go.
	We had a drill for a natural disaster.
	Completely ready.
	Then this horrible, horrific tragedy strikes, and boom, they're in there.
	And they're making the American sheeple pay for it.
	And the president is making it tax-free.
	So your donation is tax-free.
	It's a free money.
	They set it up.
	Hey, we have our holdings.
	We're going to build some hotels.
	We're going to give these people some great jobs.
	We're going to turn this into the Dubai of the new Dubai tax haven and playground for the rich.
	And we're going to make these stupid American people pay for it.
	Just send me the money.
	It's literally what it is.
	There's no oversight.
	You look at these foundations.
	I pulled down all the PDFs, all of their annual reports.
	They don't break out what they're sending the money to.
	They don't tell you where it's going to.
	Yeah, except for $30 million in salaries and benefits.
	Dude, how big is this foundation that Clinton has?
	A $30 million annual payroll?
	Give me a break.
	That's huge.
	That's a big payroll.
	That's huge.
	Yeah.
	$12 million in travel expenses?
	You know, private jets aren't cheap.
	This is my point.
	It makes me sick to my stomach.
	And then you read the reports that there is no food coming through.
	You've got the guys from the UN at the airport with Wi-Fi and fridges with cold beer because there's too much red tape and the security is not safe.
	We can't bring the food in.
	We can't bring any relief in.
	These people are dying and they're letting them die on purpose.
	Yeah, no, I agree.
	You can't not agree with that.
	Here's a clip I have of the rapper who's formerly from Haiti, out of Los Angeles.
	This clip came from KTLA. This is Wyclef Jean, is what you mean?
	The rapper?
	No, this is Juan G. This is a different guy.
	Oh, Juan G. Okay, sorry.
	And so he went to Haiti.
	Listen to this report, but what's interesting about it, this guy took his own, he took five jets of doctors down there on his own.
	And just listen, ask yourself a couple questions.
	Why wouldn't they let him land?
	Why were they holding the supplies?
	And just play this little report from Los Angeles.
	He witnessed injured people living together.
	So you have someone with a severed limb that hasn't had treatment, but someone in the local community tried to tie it up, and there's blood everywhere, and there's actually people laying around that stuff.
	Helping the quake victims is a cause near and dear to Wanji's heart.
	He and his ten siblings were born there.
	His father was a general in the military.
	So when he went there this week to assess the damage, he brought along five jets filled with 100 doctors and medical supplies.
	He says he was shocked by the chaos at the airport, though.
	First, the U.S. military wouldn't let his planes land.
	But, thanks to his close ties to President Rene Preval, he was green-lighted to do so.
	Do you know that there were actually fights in the control tower, John?
	No, I didn't know that.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	There was a kerfuffle, an actual physical fight, people trying to get their planes into land.
	It's been crazy.
	Now the Australian Air Force has been called in to run the tower.
	I don't know why, but there you have it.
	And there's a horrible job being done by the U.S. government.
	I'm sorry to say that with what's going on down there.
	A lot of medical supplies are reaching the people.
	Then, once on the ground, he and the doctors had to deal with more confusion from the U.S. military and couldn't access their supplies for two days.
	And I think that that was the roughest part on the trip because some of our medical supplies stayed on that base for one day to two days.
	And that one to two days, you lost 5,000 people.
	Through all the frustrating red tape...
	Okay.
	Yeah, I mean, you hear this over and over and over again, and this is why I believe the whole hope for Haiti now is a huge distraction.
	By the way, not that these celebrities and actors and musicians don't have their heart in the right place, and I have a lot of respect for George Clooney.
	Although wow, could it be more humbling, head bowing, like "Oh, please don't thank me." But anyway.
	You're talking about the sags?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, let's talk about that later.
	But it's like the meanest...
	I had to check myself.
	I'm like, am I just nuts?
	Or am I now completely off my rocker?
	Or am I seeing this incorrectly?
	That there is no aid going in, yet reporter after reporter after reporter can get taxi cabs, drive around, talk to these people.
	Just like Katrina, they've got flags out saying, help us, we need medicine.
	It's all stacked up at the airport because of red tape.
	It can't come in.
	Doctors without borders being refused landing have to land 80, 90 miles away.
	They're letting these people die on purpose.
	It's like, wait until the rotting smell of dead flesh is gone, and then we'll go in and start bulldozing it all to build the hotels.
	I mean, I just can't see it any other way.
	And the audacity to have the money go to the two very, very world leaders who screwed this country for 30 years.
	They screwed it.
	It's documented.
	It's not like some big secret.
	It's not a big secret.
	They screwed it completely to the ground, and these are the guys you're sending your money to?
	Because we trust them with it?
	George Bush?
	Are you freaking kidding me?
	It is an outrage.
	And I'm reading MTV, so we can't get anything done.
	Anything done, right?
	Oh, it's such a confusion.
	However, MTV News has its team of reporters being sent to Haiti to chronicle the recovery effort in the wake of last week's devastating earthquake.
	We'll be following their journey with tweets and emails and blog posts.
	And here it is.
	It's like Wednesday, 5.19 a.m.
	We caught an early flight to Miami and then a military flight to Guantanamo.
	From there, we'll get helicoptered into Haiti.
	Our mission is to follow a relief package.
	That's probably like a FedEx.
	From the U.S. into Haiti.
	She wanted to see what a relief effort looked like every stop of the way.
	And then it's like, I can't believe I'm on a Blackhawk helicopter.
	Ooh, so cool.
	It's disgusting.
	I am disgusted that I even set foot in that place.
	They're a part of this whole freaking distraction.
	To make you feel good.
	And I did a search on Twitter while this Hope for Haiti...
	Mickey and I went out to a karaoke bar, I swear to God.
	We couldn't stand it.
	And so I did a search and Hope for Haiti is a hashtag.
	And we're like, oh, it's so moving.
	Oh!
	It's lovely.
	I had tears in my eye.
	Oh, Madonna's performance was amazing.
	And do you feel better now that you sent $10 to Bill Clinton and George Bush?
	Do you sleep better now?
	Do you really sleep better?
	Why don't you really take a look at what's going on?
	It's infuriating me.
	Backslash.
	Funny.
	Yeah, you think it's funny.
	You want to hear a great piece of audio from Fox News?
	Yeah.
	This really tells it all.
	And now remember, Fox News is run by the Democrats.
	Make no mistake.
	So this is actually sent to me one of our producers.
	Joshua.
	This is from the show Cashing In.
	And it's a long clip.
	We can stop whenever you want, but you actually don't want to stop because you just can't believe what is being said.
	But this is the real truth as to what this is all about.
	Nearly a billion dollars.
	That is how much aid is heading to Haiti so far.
	Meanwhile, this Royal Caribbean cruise ship is at the center of controversy for continuing its business there.
	Tracy, you say maybe bring in more ships.
	Look, Cheryl, we have given a trillion dollars to Haiti since 1992, and what do we have to show for all that?
	The country is exactly where it was in 92 today.
	We need to help them sustain themselves going forward.
	We need private industry to come in so that this economy can turn itself around and they can get on their own two feet on their own.
	They can't continue to rely on donations from a country like us.
	Mike, you know, major U.S. corporations are donating money themselves, more than $100 million so far.
	Yeah, but corporations like Royal Caribbean, they don't build new roads, they don't build sewer systems, they don't bring running water and electricity.
	The thing that's lacking in Haiti right now is an infrastructure.
	Why is Haiti so different than a place like Nassau, Turks and Caicos?
	That plus the government instability is a huge problem.
	So all of it fits together.
	Royal Caribbean private business doesn't solve that problem.
	You have got to build an infrastructure with a stable government.
	So this is exactly what's happening.
	And this just goes on and on.
	It's fantastic, because you hear these people talking, and they're like, yeah, you know, this is good.
	Exactly what you said, John.
	We need to give them some good jobs, you know, like waiting on tables, and cleaning up hotel rooms, and swathing the deck of the Royal Caribbean cruise lines.
	So they're just waiting for people to die off.
	Really?
	They're swabbing, too.
	Yeah, that's what I meant.
	You know what this is all about?
	What this is really about?
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	We've talked about the book.
	Well, so I was thinking about, you know, when the military, they jumped in there like fanatics.
	But they haven't actually moved off of the base.
	They haven't.
	No, they're sticking around.
	I realize that they're so close to Cuba that the first thing they wanted to do is the U.S. had to get in there and take the place over militarily.
	So neither Cuba nor Venezuela are two hated, you know, Western Hemisphere.
	wouldn't come in there and start, you know, actually doing some real cleanup.
	And so that's probably the reason the military came in, because this was not a military operation that was designed to help anybody.
	It was designed to lock down the place.
	And they keep talking about food security.
	But then you read every single report is of reporters who go in, and it's like, you know, people are just trying to get, trying to find water and food and work.
	And they're not, you know, they're not looting whatever.
	What's happening is there are rich people who've got food and they're shooting at people who come anywhere within a hundred meter radius of their compound.
	This is imperialism at its brightest.
	It really is.
	And to believe that the sheeple of the world, and oh my god, media people are the worst.
	It's like, oh, we're so good.
	And every country, all the media people got together and we stayed up for hours collecting money.
	I'm so tired.
	The other thing that bugged me about this show is that if you look behind, for one thing, there's no audience.
	They really put this thing together without an audience in mind.
	But they made it look like a PBS donation thing to appeal to people who really believe that that group of people on the phones is actually doing something.
	And they had the ringing, ringing, phone ringing.
	Yes, completely produced.
	I mean, they even had the bake-like phones.
	They had these phones.
	So here I got a clip.
	Apparently, now I'm thinking, well, there's Reese Witherspoon.
	There's Steven Spielberg.
	There's Billy Crystal.
	Are they actually taking calls and taking donations and writing and doing any real work?
	No.
	They're obviously just shills, as you will hear from the Reese on phone clip.
	We really appreciate your call.
	You're calling in to donate for the Hope for Haiti program?
	Listen to the phone in the background.
	To donate.
	Perfect timing.
	Yes I am.
	Yes I am.
	Wonderful.
	Well, we are going to have an operator get on the line.
	Well, then what are you doing?
	Yeah, really?
	And do you hear the old-fashioned bell ringing?
	Yeah, the whole thing is a scamp.
	It's a setup.
	It's a loop.
	By the way, I only saw two or three.
	I saw her and I saw Spielberg, and both of them are constantly looking down at a crick sheet.
	At a piece of paper, I saw the same thing, John.
	I saw the Spielberg clip.
	Let's listen to more.
	This is fascinating.
	Yes, I have.
	Okay, great.
	And thank you so much for your donation.
	You can't even imagine how much love and great, wonderful energy is here today.
	And people are just doing everything they can to make a difference in these people's lives.
	I'm just glad I could help out.
	I couldn't donate a lot, but what I could, I did donate.
	You know what?
	That's the greatest thing.
	And I think it's the spirit of everything and the collective energy of everybody thinking that they can help.
	And I just really appreciate it.
	So thank you, Ian.
	You're welcome very much.
	Alright, God bless you.
	Thank you.
	You too.
	Have a good evening.
	Alright, bye.
	What a crock of crap.
	Total.
	I mean, people don't realize that that is a sound loop that is running to make you, to mind control you.
	I mean, we've already deconstructed this on the PBS telethons.
	There's no phone that makes that noise anymore.
	If it was a real phone bank, it would be voice over IP, because that's the only thing you can get in there quick.
	You know, it would be a bunch of Ethernet cables, and these things don't make tring-tring sounds.
	They don't make any sounds.
	No, they shouldn't make any sound at all unless you're trying to hype it up.
	Yeah.
	But what happens is, and I've been in these situations, the call goes out, you know, it's like USA for Africa, another great initiative.
	Hey, how's Africa doing?
	Yay!
	The call goes out, it's like, oh, we're putting it together, George Clooney, George Clooney, crap, I've got to be a part of this.
	You can't not go.
	You can't not go if you want to continue to work in that industry.
	Yeah, especially when you've got somebody like George Clooney, who's a major producer.
	Yeah, of course.
	It's a self-fulfilling type of prophecy.
	It's just, oh, man.
	I think the only person who actually probably wanted to go and volunteer and probably push their way into it was Taylor Swift.
	Yeah.
	I'm no idiot.
	I'm just following the money.
	That's all I care about at this point.
	I know we have conservatively estimated 10,000 troops.
	There's the UN, which by the way, it's like the UN peacekeepers.
	That's guys with guns and helmets.
	Okay, they're blue, but it's peacekeepers.
	People are like, the UN peacekeepers are doing such a great job.
	Yeah, pointing guns at people.
	It's not like they're there for humanitarian relief.
	This is a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions.
	In 10 years, when we're still doing two shows a week, John, because we'll be still making no money, we'll look back at this and we'll say, oh, hey, why don't we do a Knights of the Know Agenda Roundtable at the Porter Prince Clinton Executive Suites?
	It will be there.
	It totally will be there.
	And you will take the Royal Caribbean cruise lines over there, and it'll be just like Jamaica, where everybody is enslaved to the Western dollar.
	So, by the way, there's another thing that showed up.
	I don't know.
	They dropped this in.
	You know, Sanjay Gupta, or whatever his name is.
	Gupta.
	Gupta.
	Sanjay Gupta.
	Personal friend of Anderson Cooper Vanderbilt.
	Yeah, apparently.
	And he's over there doing a lot of, you know, one-off kind of help.
	And I probably was doing stuff, because he seems to be...
	You know what?
	I look at his face, and I can tell that he's going, holy crap, this is messed up.
	Because as a doctor, I think there's just certain things that are embedded and ingrained in your DNA. Yeah, no, he seems awfully sincere to me, too.
	But no, he doesn't look sincere.
	He looks shocked.
	He looks like shell-shocked.
	Well, he's sincerely shocked.
	So here's what, but there was a clip that Anderson, they were showing different clips, and they played this Anderson Cooper clip, and it had a commentary in there that I wanted to bring up.
	Play Doctors Pulled Out.
	Uh, gotcha.
	Just lining the halls, no gauze, hardly any bandages, and very few IVs.
	This is jungle medicine.
	Apparently all the other doctors who only arrived today have now pulled out Dr.
	Sanjay Gupta to find himself basically the only physician on site.
	Every 20 or 30 minutes or so.
	This is what happened the second day.
	We were talking about this on a previous show.
	There were 20 people in this tent, and someone came along and said, doctors get out.
	The doctors get on the bus.
	They leave.
	And Sanjay Gupta is the only one there with a stethoscope.
	Well, right.
	We talked about this in a short form on our last show.
	But has there been any follow-up or investigation?
	Yeah, no, there was.
	And I saw a news article, and the UN says, we didn't tell anyone to pull out.
	That wasn't us.
	So that's it.
	That's it?
	That's as far as it goes?
	Yeah, but they got on a U.N. bus, because I saw that right there.
	It's a part of that piece.
	They got on a U.N. bus, and the doctors left.
	And then when queried, the U.N. says, oh, we didn't tell anyone to leave.
	We wouldn't do that.
	Oh, we had nothing to do with that.
	I find this whole thing rather peculiar.
	I mean, I'm beyond the peculiar stage, John.
	I'm at disgust.
	Really, I am.
	It's unbelievable what's happening.
	No one is being helped.
	And I think the only...
	Sri Lanka.
	What was the other huge disaster we had?
	Even Katrina was better than this.
	There's like no medical help being put in there.
	And all people go, oh, well, we have to be very careful for food security, and we can't do airdrops because we have...
	How crazy is this?
	They just did airdrops yesterday, and they had a clip of it.
	It was a bunch of parachutes.
	I thought it was an invasion.
	And they didn't show where they were landing these things.
	It could have been a B-roll from someplace, for all I know.
	But they were showing airdrops.
	What I understood is...
	We can't do airdrops until we get troops on the ground to protect the food that is dropped.
	What's the point of an airdrop if you've got troops on the ground?
	Once you have the troops bring the food in.
	Thank you.
	That's my point exactly.
	Oh, there's no infrastructure.
	Yet there's taxi cabs driving journalists around from MTV who are twittering.
	Why do we even have time to put MTV news people into helicopters?
	Why do we even have time for that?
	This is a real emergency.
	I'm kind of reminded of the...
	There's a very interesting piece Glenn Beck is running on the history.
	He's trying to prove that fascists and communists are the same.
	It's actually quite good.
	I'll make a copy for you.
	But he brings up the kill-off, the 10 million killed in the Ukraine by Stalin story, where they basically just did it by starving them to death.
	Which is interesting.
	Ukrainians will all know about this.
	They just basically cut off the food and water for about a year and 10 million people died.
	It turns out you can't live a year without eating anything.
	Well, this is very effective.
	It's being done in Gaza.
	Of course, it's a very effective system.
	And by the way, there's, I don't know how many, I'm just going to guess maybe 40 to 50 battleships cruising around the coast of Haiti because they don't want anyone to escape.
	There are literally empty cargo planes flying out of Port-au-Prince.
	Empty.
	And we're not like taking the most severely wounded and sick to any other place.
	Hey, you know, don't bring them over here, please.
	If you're like dying and your limbs are chopped off from falling debris, just bleed over there, please.
	Don't bleed on our soil.
	Well, if you continue to play that 1G clip, which you don't have to, but he goes on.
	I'd like to.
	I'd like to.
	Hold on a second.
	I'll pick it up from where we left off.
	Team did manage to set up a 150-bed hospital and perform hundreds of operations, mostly amputations.
	However, one girl was in such grave condition, 1G flew her back to the U.S. on one of his jets to be operated on.
	As for the death toll, he suspects we may never know the true number.
	It's very hard to know what the number is, even though you know it's a big atrocity, because when people are burning bodies and then mass graves, I was at two or three mass grave locations where they weren't photo or IDing any of the people.
	Wanji has had a non-profit organization on the island nation for the past year called One Dome at a Time.
	It's golf.
	Look at that's good enough.
	Yeah, well, there you have it.
	So Wanji can get in, you know, after being hassled at the airport, but he can finally get in.
	Well, he only got in because he knows the president.
	They weren't going to let him land his five jets full of doctors.
	And that's really the only thing we need is doctors and supplies.
	We don't need infrastructure.
	We don't need guns.
	You know, there is no actual footage of riots or anything taking place.
	These people are...
	I think you're right.
	It's right out of the playbook, John.
	It's just they're being starved to death.
	They're being killed.
	This is worse than the earthquake itself.
	So the 1G says that there's like huge piles of bodies that are just burning them.
	But without even IDing them.
	And there's a big mass grazer just pushing people in there and covering them up.
	Yeah, without any IDing at all.
	Yeah, and that's crazy.
	They did that in the Sri Lankan tsunami.
	They did that...
	All disasters.
	I have no words for this.
	I really don't.
	And I think I should stop because I'm just going to become a broken record.
	But I will not participate in this fakery.
	Anyone who thinks that they're...
	You're just helping your conscience.
	Oh, I've done something for Haiti now.
	Okay, now I can go worry about my own job.
	So, last night, we had the Golden Globes, and we had the Help for Haiti, and then we had the SAG Awards, which were on a cable channel last night, which I managed to watch.
	Yeah, I watched it too.
	I always love to watch all the self-congratulatory...
	There was one super highlight, which was the Sandra Bullock-Betty White induction.
	Yeah, no, Sandra Bullock is turning out to be hilarious.
	And that was a very good segment.
	But the thing that's still...
	I'm still wondering, by the way, there's two things.
	You saw that George Clooney wouldn't look at the camera.
	He kept looking down when people said, oh, George is so great.
	But I'm wondering whether he was being scolded.
	Interesting.
	Because when the head of the Screen Actors Guild, Ken, I can't remember his last name, but the actor, he came out and he says, well, hello, George.
	I'm glad to see you can make it as you've been a busy guy.
	And he was kind of calling him out for, you know, saying, you know, we should do something about Haiti.
	The thing that, it sounded like he was being complimentary or pro, you know, give money to Haiti.
	But there seemed to be some other agenda there because Clooney would not look up.
	He looked like he was embarrassed.
	Yeah.
	You know, it's interesting.
	If you took a completely different take at it and you had knowledge that the guy who was the head of the Screen Actor Guild, that he was basically the slave master and Clooney is the slave, you could see it that way.
	Well, the only thing that makes me think that, besides the fact that Clooney would not look up under any circumstances and he looked like he was being humiliated or ashamed of himself for doing something like maybe getting actors to work for nothing.
	There's no residuals on the Hope for Hades show.
	Damn you, Clooney, you screwed up again.
	There was something else going on because the kicker, the thing, the real giveaway, the one thing you couldn't not notice, nobody wore one of those ribbons.
	Nope, not a single one.
	I noticed that.
	There was almost no mention of it.
	It's like the memo went out.
	Okay, look, there's going to be no mention of this Haiti thing tonight, okay?
	Because there was almost none, John.
	No, there was almost none.
	Very little.
	It wasn't anything like it.
	Where were the days when you actually watched the Oscars or some of these award shows waiting for someone to go off and just go like, you know, screw this!
	This is a scam!
	We're all being mind-controlled!
	Where are those days?
	Remember when that used to happen?
	Yeah, I know.
	It used to happen all the time.
	What bothers me is the closest we come to that is the poor Drew Barrymore who apparently can't accept an award graciously.
	This is the second fail in a row!
	Yeah, second in a row, she goes up there and she just falls apart and doesn't know what to say, which I've seen her on talk shows.
	She's very personal.
	She's not like one of these brain-dead actresses that can't even talk to somebody, but she can't apparently take an award without falling apart.
	It's ridiculous.
	Well, it's really interesting when you look at Sandra Bullock and how comfortable she is.
	I don't believe she was on the Hope for Haiti Now show.
	She donated, she mentioned this on the red carpet at the Golden Globe, she donated a million dollars to Doctors Without Borders, knowing that they are the real legit outfit that will really try and help people in Haiti.
	But she also said during her acceptance speech, she said, you know, I quit acting six years ago because I was doing crap.
	I wasn't doing good work, and then I decided to go back and do auditions, and of course now she's incredibly wealthy because she put all of her, you know, she worked for Scale on Crash, which was a huge hit, basically an independent film.
	She's no longer inside the system, John.
	That's what's really interesting, and she's the one who actually seems to communicate the best because she's not a part of this mind-controlled set.
	In fact, I'd tell her, she should probably look out, you know.
	She needs to be very careful.
	Well, yeah, she's, I've actually, when she first hooked up with Jesse James, the tattooed biker, that dude has a, he's a famous, more of a personality than anything else, it just turned her career around.
	It's probably because the guy's got his head screwed on straight, and he's like, babe, you know, you gotta stay away from these jabronis.
	Yeah, I think so.
	And anyone comes to hear you, I'm going to mess him up.
	That guy looks like he's really sweet and sensitive, but you don't want him to unleash a can of whoop-ass.
	Yeah, he looks like a tough cookie.
	I'd say she's a shining light amongst the dimness.
	Anyway, I followed a lot of these things because, of course, Gitmo Nation Lowlands, you know, everybody got into it and they did their own telethon and they had Radio 555, which is a radio station.
	We're all collaborating.
	There's no more competition between stations because we're all doing shows together and we're collaborating to raise money for Haiti.
	Meanwhile, Royal Dutch Shell will be the first ones there sucking it out of the ground.
	Well, if there's oil around there, it's going to be fun to watch.
	But yeah, okay, so I think we've given the audience a pretty good impression of our thoughts on the matter.
	And let me just say, we do this, we take this approach, not to be contrarian, we're not being paid by anybody, barely, but we do it because the facts for us are just there.
	It's so blatant.
	History shows what Bush and Clinton have done.
	It's written history.
	All we're doing is reading, essentially.
	And we do this in whatever time we have possible.
	And it takes a long time to go through these things.
	And the only way we can do it is if you donate to this show.
	And we do have some donors from this last week, and I want to name them.
	And I think I'm allowed to do that.
	I don't see anybody saying this anonymous.
	Collins Christopher in Tokyo, he...
	He says he's no agenda.
	This is his main source of news and entertainment while he does his Saturday a.m.
	house cleaning.
	Infotainment.
	It's infotainment is what it is.
	He gave a 70.
	Bruce Klassen from Valencia, California, which is a place that...
	You can find a good Valencia orange or used to.
	I started listening last July when I lost my job.
	I wanted to donate sooner, but feeding my family came first.
	Thankfully, I finally landed a new gig that started this month.
	There you go.
	So here's my $5 a month back payment, $35 plus an extra $50, just because you guys more than deserve it.
	Thank you.
	I'm also starting a $5 a month subscription.
	Please keep up the good work and sorry that I'm late to the financial party.
	Bruce Klassen.
	Excellent.
	Really appreciate it.
	Catherine Raisbick in Queensland, Australia gave us $50 and she apparently had some...
	Something going on with you.
	Who?
	What's her name?
	Oh, from Australia.
	Yeah, Kate.
	We've been back and forth.
	She's been sending me good links and stuff.
	All listeners of the program are also producers.
	We rely on you, and it's the only way we can really get this news from around the world.
	And...
	I will also say that I truly believe that listening to, particularly those of you who are unemployed, hold on to your money, feed your family.
	I believe that when you listen to this program, your perspective, your outlook, your entire introspective changes, and when change like that happens, things happen, like getting a job.
	I really believe in that stuff, so I'll take some credit for that.
	All right.
	5115 from John Snyder of Palindrome.
	He's from Chicago.
	He says he's giving us this money because he says, I think you guys are worse off than me.
	Quite possibly.
	Yeah, it could be.
	He's in Chicago.
	$51.50 for Mark Vandenberg, who is disappointed in every once in a while somebody slips in an Atlas Shrugged, I mentioned it, Atlas Shrugged pun, and we never catch it.
	By Ayn Rand.
	Yeah, I know.
	He had...
	By the CIA. Jammer, scold, whatever, the pirate from the book Donate Money.
	Yeah, but who cares?
	John Catalano, $100 from House Springs, Missouri.
	Long-time listener, cheapskate, first-time donor.
	Keep up the entertaining requests for funds.
	You're wearing us cheapskates down.
	Ha!
	We're getting to him.
	Show 167 and having a music benefit for you guys.
	If either of you ever make it to Tokyo, he's in Tokyo, actually.
	On the pre-stream this morning, we decided that Mickey was going to do pancakes for the show.
	She's going to sell off pancakes to raise money for us.
	Pancake breakfast.
	Anyway, he's actually in Tokyo.
	His old address is in Missouri.
	Missouri.
	Missouri.
	5150.
	We got a lot of, for some unknown reason, got 5150, 5150, 5150.
	This one's David Ernie in Mesa, Arizona.
	And then I also want to rethink Gear and...
	Yes, our associate executive producers, Gear.
	Dennis and Ian.
	Yes, Dennis Cruz and Ian Monroe for being our executive producing team on this episode of the show.
	Yeah, that's good.
	We need a team every week.
	So if you'd like to donate, head on over to NoAgendaShow.com or Dvorak.org slash NA or ChannelDvorak slash NA. ChannelDvorak.com slash NA. I'm sorry.
	And sign up for...
	Well, please donate as much as you can.
	Ring, ring.
	Hello, it's Reese.
	We really appreciate it.
	But also join one of our monthly programs because it's these smaller, regular donations that are building a base that will be enough to buy our coffins.
	So the...
	I don't think we would need one for a while.
	So anyway, Dvorak.org slash NA, noagendashow.com.
	We need your help.
	And we need more of it because...
	It's flat, if not a little down.
	Yeah, well, if nothing else, put some stickers up for us and get other people to listen.
	Or make a DVD or a CD for somebody and give it to them.
	Say, listen to these guys.
	It'll be worth your while.
	Now, back to the show.
	And now, back to Real News.
	I want to bring up real news.
	Something we talked about last week, I want to just...
	I was thinking about it since the show.
	We talked about Michelle Malkin being a COINTELPRO. Yeah, you want to explain what that is?
	Because I think a lot of people don't understand the term.
	It's a person who is planted.
	By an intelligence agency and they are used to, usually to push disinformation or to help twist, help spin a topic.
	And the media is filled with them.
	I've brought this up before.
	She's talked about it.
	Gina Smith, very well known in the tech industry.
	She was approached by the CIA, was she not?
	Yeah, she was approached by the CIA to take a job at the Associated Press or some newspaper.
	I think you can spot them, yeah.
	It's not that hard.
	I mean, I'm always skeptical about what anybody writes.
	Now, let's go to the Michelle Malkin thing.
	The fact that she brought up this comment about Ron Paul out of the blue when Ron Paul's a darling of the right wing.
	So Ron Paul, just to reiterate, he came out at a rally and said, have you heard?
	There's a coup.
	The CIA has taken over the military.
	The CIA is basically running the Federal Reserve.
	They're running all the drug scams.
	The CIA has...
	There's been a coup.
	He likes to say, have you not heard?
	There's been a coup.
	And then Michelle Malkin said, ah, you know, he's just a crackpot conspiracy theorist.
	He's a crackpot kook.
	He's a kook from Texas.
	Well, so I was thinking about this.
	Now, she has a book out that is a bestseller.
	And it's, what the hell is the name of it?
	How the CIA paid me to say cool stuff.
	Culture of Corruption, which is my wife fell in love with this book and thinks Michelle Malkin is great.
	And this book, Culture of Corruption, which you might want to get or take a look at and read, I dawned on it.
	It is one of the biggest slams, because this brought me back to the CIA versus Obama battle that you theorized.
	I've got some more on, yeah.
	This book is a hit piece on Obama that is unbelievable.
	Now, it just dawned on me, there's no way that she could have written this book in the shorter period of time that she had to get the book done.
	It takes at least three or four months for the book to even get to the...
	This book's been out for four months.
	And this book, she would have had to start writing this book sometime in early 2008, the amount of work that's in here.
	This book was obviously given to her by the CIA. Hand-off.
	It was here.
	Look at all this stuff.
	Here, here, here.
	It's all documented.
	And then they just gave her a big pile of documents and said...
	Go for it.
	They may have just written the whole thing for her, for all I know.
	I'm not going to say that's the case, but...
	Well, you have to know...
	It surprised me.
	So, I haven't picked it up yet, but I've read excerpts of this book, Family of Secrets.
	I think we talked about this in the last show.
	Yeah.
	And this takes the...
	I mean, the CIA is basically a Bush family invention.
	You have to understand where the CIA came from.
	George Bush Sr.
	ran the CIA for many, many years.
	So there's a lot of loyalty and there's connections, and it doesn't just pass over from one president to the next.
	Clinton was working for the Bushes.
	I mean, doesn't anyone find it odd that of all the guys we could choose, it had to be a previous president's son who's a goofball?
	Doesn't anyone find that odd?
	I mean, of all the people you can choose, of all the people in America who could be president, I mean, come on!
	Get real!
	Wake up!
	Snap up to reality!
	So anyway, so I'm thinking that the Malkin book is probably, you know, it's actually more interesting if you think about it as like...
	Cohen Tell Pro.
	Yeah, it was Cohen Tell Pro, because it's, I mean, every time I've read bits and pieces from it, it's enough to make your blood boil.
	I mean, it's an extremely negative book about Obama.
	I mean, there's nothing quite like it out there.
	Well, to counter that...
	And by the way, she's a full-time writer.
	She's a blogger.
	She's on the road all the time.
	She doesn't have time to write a book.
	If you look at the research that went into this book, there's no way she could have written it.
	Yeah.
	Unless she never sleeps.
	Is that possible?
	And how is she making money?
	Off of the sales of this book or off of her PayPal or off of her...
	I have no idea how she makes money.
	Somehow we're not doing something right because we're not making money.
	Well, if the CIA would hand a book over to us that we could make a bestseller, I think I'd...
	I can't wait to watch Meet the Press, which I always record on the DVR, because apparently Valerie Jarrett was on.
	You know, whenever the president is in trouble, then Valerie Jarrett comes on.
	Who is a reptile to the max?
	I mean, just look at her face.
	I mean, she's a complete lizard mouth.
	And so I can't wait to watch it, and I'll have to pull some sound clips, because she's saying in this interview that the president has brought enormous change.
	I think what we've seen is a dramatic difference in terms of how the United States is perceived around the world.
	Obama's travels have established relationships with world leaders that lay a foundation for keeping America safe.
	He pulled back the economy from the brink of disaster.
	I saw Obama reading the teleprompter, and he couldn't say precipice.
	Precipice.
	It's a big word.
	It's a big word, man.
	Precipice.
	It's a tough one.
	Well, if you think about precipice on a teleprompter and you see it coming up...
	Yeah, it's tough.
	You're like, what was that word again?
	Precipice.
	But he stumbled like twice.
	Yeah, for you out there, all you out there, whoever want to do writing for TV or broadcasting, don't use the word precipice on a teleprompter.
	That's why they've gone back to brink.
	It's much easier.
	You can say it.
	So, staying on the, I think that the CIA, I think this, maybe this is the reason why Michelle Malkin is essentially risking her cover as COINTELPRO, as in counterintelligence program, because Ron Paul is indeed basically now just saying the truth, that there has been a coup, and maybe this is very much like the business plot, John, the Roosevelt business plot.
	Where they were going to push Roosevelt out of office.
	A great story, by the way.
	You can also find a copy and links on the blog about the Roosevelt situation.
	And this is a true story because they tried to get the guy who said war is a racket.
	What was his name?
	Smedley.
	Smedley Butler.
	They tried to get him to lead a military coup, and then he basically blew the whistle and said, hey, no way.
	I'm not going to do this.
	So now, instead of getting the military involved, they just have the CIA, and the CIA, they don't actually do the work themselves.
	They hire Blackwater.
	Blackwater, by the way, it's now been admitted that Blackwater is in Pakistan flying these drones and killing people.
	Link in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
	U.S. finally admits Blackwater operating in Pakistan.
	These guys were never supposed to work for the forces again.
	They even changed their name.
	They still call them Blackwater.
	That was the easiest to remember.
	That other name isn't hopeless.
	It's like when Prince changed his name to some symbol.
	It's like...
	Yeah, exactly.
	That didn't work too well.
	You know, and...
	Yeah, the Blackwater guys are pretty amazing.
	And, you know, there's lots of rumors they're operating in Haiti.
	It wouldn't surprise me, although I have nothing to corroborate that or to really back it up, but it wouldn't surprise me.
	So I think that I hold by my theory that there is a fight with the CIA. And, you know, there's something else really, really weird.
	You know, this whole Supreme Court decision, I think we need to analyze this more.
	Yeah, you know, my son was pestering me last week to probably start looking at it.
	But I decided, instead of talking about it on the last show, to see what was coming down.
	I wanted to see what the media, how the reaction was on both the left and the right.
	Well, the media love it because this means millions, hundreds of millions of dollars for the media.
	Yeah, of course, because now any corporation...
	Which could be domestic or foreign, by the way, and all these multinationals are just that.
	Anyone from the outside, now if you have enough money, you can put together a whole media campaign.
	You could put together your own Hope for Haiti.
	And it'll be completely legal.
	You can say whatever you want about a candidate or about policy, and this is going to be a huge financial shot in the ass of big mainstream media, because that's why they're not going to say anything about it one way or the other.
	Like, shut up already.
	This is good money coming in.
	Yeah, no, in fact, I've always believed that the media is...
	In fact, I've said this for at least 20 years.
	Every time somebody brings up campaign finance reform and public financing of these elections...
	Yeah, they usually lose.
	What do you think the media thinks of this?
	Once one editorial comes out, they'll just string the guy up or tar and feather him.
	The media, the newspapers get all the money from these guys.
	The TV stations get all the money from these guys.
	Where does the money go when you start pumping out campaign promotion?
	It goes right to the media.
	They clean up like there's no tomorrow.
	I still believe that they're going to end the electoral process at some point.
	The Electoral College because I think that actually hurts.
	It hurts the media.
	It hurts the media because you end up with states like California that are marginalized because we're always going to vote for a Democrat for president, which is generally true.
	So why bother putting any money behind promoting somebody because those electoral votes are already in the bag.
	So forget it.
	Let's just concentrate on Ohio.
	And so Ohio gets all the money.
	So at some point, somebody's going to have to...
	Probably the media is going to have to get on the bandwagon and get rid of the Electoral College with an amendment.
	They can promote the heck out of it while they still have power.
	They've only got a few years left.
	One of the big newspaper chains just declared bankruptcy the other day.
	Which one was that?
	The guy, the American media, the Singletons.
	The Dean Singleton guy.
	He owns the San Jose Mercury News, the Denver Post, just a slew of papers.
	The second biggest...
	No, I think we're going to see those assets being purchased, and there'll be new news groups, and it'll be the Ministry of Truth.
	Well, whatever the case is, they're going to have to do some...
	I mean, there's a bonanza waiting for the media with this, like, open the floodgates to spend as much money as you want.
	We are so stupid.
	We could be so rich.
	I mean, think about it.
	All we need to do is start with this new ruling.
	This is going to be great.
	This is going to be awesome.
	We should just be taking money and producing all kinds of hit campaigns and pro stuff for this politician or that politician.
	We can still do that.
	If we don't get enough donations, we will.
	And we'll be pretty honest about it.
	Yeah, we'll be real honest about it, and we'll take anybody's money.
	But what's even crazier is that this ruling essentially cements something you've talked about before, is that the corporation is now not only equal to a human being as an entity according to the law, but is actually above that.
	Is above the law.
	Yeah.
	Has all of the rights of an individual, and then some, can do whatever it wants.
	Yeah, until they start taking a company that, say, has poisoned the earth, and take the executives, the CEO, and the entire board of directors, and take them out and shoot them, until that happens, which would happen to a person doing the same thing, an individual.
	Gas chamber.
	Until they see that, they have more rights than a person.
	Let's just listen to the President for one second with his weekly address about this, because he's clearly irked.
	One of the reasons I ran for President was because I believed so strongly that the voices of everyday Americans, hard-working folks doing everything they can to stay afloat, just weren't being heard over the powerful voices of the special interests in Washington.
	And the result was a national agenda too often skewed in favor of those with the power to tilt the tables.
	Now listen, of course he's got to lie so he can talk about this.
	In my first year in office, we pushed back on that power by implementing historic reforms to get rid of the influence of those special interests.
	On my first day in office, we closed the revolving door between lobbying firms and the government so that no one in my administration would make decisions based on the interests of former or future employers.
	You can take that to the bank.
	That's the biggest lie there is.
	It's like his whole operation is lobbyists.
	It's the...
	You lie.
	Just say it.
	I guess if you say it enough times, people go, oh, okay, there's no more lobbyists in Washington.
	Yeah, okay, the president said it.
	Must be true.
	We borrowed gifts from federal lobbyists.
	Oh, okay.
	No gifts.
	I can't accept your candy.
	On the jet.
	T-shirt?
	No, nothing for me.
	Executive branch officials.
	We impose tough restrictions to prevent funds for our recovery from lining the pockets of the well-connected.
	It's amazing.
	For two years, every week we call it Shadow Puppet Theater.
	Every week we show you exactly where the lobbyists are, who they are, what they're doing, and they leave and they go off.
	The revolving door is now electronic.
	They don't even have to push it.
	It has a sensor.
	You just walk up and it's like, whoop, starts spinning.
	In you go, out you go, in you go, out you go.
	Enjoy your experience.
	Instead of creating jobs for Americans, and for the first time in history, we have publicly disclosed the names of lobbyists and non-lobbyists alike who visit the White House every day, so that you know what's going on in the White House.
	Yeah, no, it's only a partial list.
	Another lie.
	Yeah, that's a blatant lie.
	That's a blatant lie, yeah.
	Okay.
	The People's House.
	Oh, the People's House.
	Right.
	Because anyone can gatecrash it.
	We've been making steady progress.
	But this week, the United States Supreme Court handed a huge victory to the special interests and their lobbyists.
	So, help me out here, John, because this is very, very interesting.
	He's basically saying, oh, the special interests, the lobbyists, Supreme Court, bad.
	I gotta think this is part of the script.
	But let's just...
	He does look very...
	Maybe this is the other Obama.
	I don't know.
	This one looks tired.
	...and a powerful blow to our efforts to rein in corporate influence.
	This ruling strikes at our democracy itself.
	By a 5-4 vote, the court overturned more than a century of law, including a bipartisan campaign finance law written by Senators John McCain and Russ Feingold that had barred corporations from using their financial clout to directly interfere with elections by...
	So what is the point of him propping John McCain and Feingold in that?
	I don't know.
	He does that all the time.
	He does that to indicate...
	It's bipartisanship?
	Yeah, I think it's just that.
	It's like a fake.
	...running advertisements for or against candidates in the crucial closing weeks.
	This ruling opens the floodgates for an unlimited amount of special interest money into our democracy.
	It gives the special interest lobbyists new leverage to spend millions on advertising, to persuade elected officials to vote their way, or to punish those who don't.
	That means that any public servant who has the courage to stand up to the special interests and stand up for the American people can find himself or herself under assault come election time.
	Even foreign corporations can now get into the act.
	I can't think of anything more devastating to the public interest.
	The last thing we need to do is hand more influence to the lobbyists in Washington, or more power to the special interests to tip the outcome of elections.
	All of us, regardless of party, should be worried that it will be that much harder to get fair, common sense financial reforms, or close unwarranted tax loopholes that reward corporations from sheltering their income, or shipping American jobs offshore.
	It will make it more difficult to pass common sense laws to promote energy independence.
	So I think he's taking the stance to be, oh, I'm so against it, but he's probably really happy.
	He's probably really digging it because who's going to be spending money on him?
	And remember, we have a very, very important year coming up where the Democrats stand to lose their majority in the House and in the Senate.
	And this is, wow, it seems like just in time to me.
	Yeah, there's something.
	I agree.
	And who owns the media?
	He's the one who promised to use public funding or something for the election against McCain.
	Yeah, he didn't.
	And then he bailed out, and then he got more money than anybody else, and nobody knows where it came from.
	Supposedly $5 apiece from everybody in the world.
	When I think it was like, you know, if you know what you're doing, and he's from Chicago, and he's got a bunch of Chicago people, I mean, they know how to funnel money in, so you can always get the money, but now anyone can get the money.
	I think he's probably, I think he has mixed feelings about it.
	No, I think this is just part of the script to say, oh, it's the evil dudes, but really it's going to behoove him and his party.
	Him in particular, yeah.
	And he needs it more than anyone right now.
	People are not happy with his performance, so this is really something that he needs right now.
	And he's sitting there going, oh, it's so bad.
	And who was it again that's on his board of advisors?
	Immelt is his name, I believe, from NBC. General Electric CEO. And so who were the Supreme Court justices who voted for this?
	Well, all I know is that our buddy Clarence Thomas was all for it.
	Monsanto.
	You just watch.
	They're going to step it up.
	You know, now that the gig is up on PBS, now that everybody knows that they just take advertising and commercials, they've got to do this for real.
	They've really got to go in and sponsor these shows.
	I was watching this, you know, I haven't gotten clips from it yet, but they keep bringing on this one writer.
	The second time, somebody sent me, one of our producers sent me a note, this guy who wrote the book Denialism.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He's on PBS, right?
	They brought him on again as though he wasn't already on in November.
	How many times are they going to bring the same bonehead on?
	He's an annoying person, this guy, with a very high-pitched voice.
	It goes way up there.
	In fact, I broke a glass.
	Whatever the case, he comes on.
	But at the beginning of the podcast or the PBS thing, there's literally an actual on the NPR website.
	There is a commercial on there.
	What, for Monsanto?
	No, not for Monsanto.
	But it's a real commercial?
	But it's a real commercial.
	It's not like, you know, brought to you by or sponsored by or underwritten by.
	I mean, it's like a commercial.
	It's like a 30-second spot.
	Let me find that for a second.
	I had it here because I didn't want to play it because I was like, I didn't even listen to the clip because I knew what it was.
	I thought it was just like a repeat of that one guy.
	No, it's slightly different because in the other one he was going on.
	What I thought was funny, he gives a spiel about denialism.
	And so they start taking calls.
	The first call they get is from some pro-lifer who goes into a rant about how everyone's denying the fact that the baby is, when he's just a little bitty thing.
	Oh, he's actually alive?
	Yeah, he's actually alive.
	That's denialism.
	And she said, I'm glad that you wrote this book, but you know he's just on the opposite side of this argument.
	And I just was cracking up.
	It was so funny to listen to the guy have to kind of swallow his words.
	This was the denying science could be dangerous?
	Is that the one?
	Yeah, oh, it's dangerous.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	We have to...
	The science is in!
	Nah, for some reason the page isn't loading, so I won't have to...
	Typical.
	They're like, oh, oh, oh, oh, there was no agenda.
	Crackpots, they're gonna play it.
	Oh, they're gonna play one of our commercials.
	Oh, quick.
	Squelch it.
	Limit.
	Don't let them access the site.
	I think we're pretty low on the watch list.
	You're probably right.
	Something that came in today from Gitmo Nation East, just to show you how the Ministry of Truth really operates.
	You'll recall David Kelly, who was the weapons inspector, who blew the whistle on the fact that there really were no weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein could activate within 45 minutes and terminate everyone in the Western world.
	And he suicided himself with a butter knife in the woods.
	What?
	You remember that, don't you?
	I don't remember being a butter knife.
	It was a blunt knife.
	And it was in his blunt gardening knife.
	And he was apparently trying to cut a really weird artery.
	Here it is.
	So Hutton, who was in charge of the investigation, concluded Dr.
	Kelly killed himself by severing the ulnar artery in his left wrist after taking an overdose of prescription painkillers.
	Which, of course, is very difficult because that artery is very small, difficult to access.
	You know, he bled to death really slowly.
	But now, the government in the United Kingdom, which, of course, is now part of the United States of Europe, has determined that the post-mortem On Dr.
	Kelly's death shall be sealed for 70 years.
	What?
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see here.
	Ooh, look at that.
	Okay.
	70 years.
	Why?
	Well, because it's private information.
	We don't want anyone to, you know, it's not...
	Shut up, slave!
	Well, the whole thing was suspicious to begin with.
	The guy's the whistleblower.
	This is back in the, why did we go to Iraq era?
	I love it.
	So he does that, and the next thing you know, he's out in the woods killing himself for some unknown reason.
	With a butter knife.
	With a butter knife.
	And now they've sealed this thing for seven years, and nobody in Great Britain ever said, no wonder we're not getting any more.
	I think we've been cut off.
	We haven't gotten a good donation from England for years.
	No, you know what it is?
	They've all got that anthrax in their heroin over there.
	People keep dying away.
	Okay, so let's discuss that topic.
	You want to do the commercial from...
	I got NPR loaded.
	Play the commercial.
	Which one was it?
	Was it the Denying Science Could Be Dangerous, that one?
	The new one, yeah.
	It just came out a few days ago.
	That was at the top of that webpage?
	Is there a commercial right on your page?
	Right there.
	Click on it.
	Or try to play it.
	I'm going to try and play it right now.
	Support for NPR comes from SyFy, presenting Caprica, a new original series.
	New episodes every Friday at 9, 8 central.
	More at SyFy.com slash Caprica.
	I'd call that a commercial.
	It sounds like a commercial to me.
	For a TV show.
	Yeah, for a TV show.
	This is not an underwriter.
	What would anyone underwrite?
	Would somebody in the media underwrite the competition?
	And on this page, on the webpage, the Visa signature card, instant access to dozens of perks.
	And then underneath it says, become an NPR sponsor.
	Hey, let's become a sponsor.
	Who, does it say sponsor?
	Yeah, it says sponsor.
	Corporate sponsorship.
	Why don't you follow up on that?
	Maybe we can.
	Have the show begin with, what you're about to hear is garbage.
	Listen to No Agenda at the noagendashow.com.
	No, this is great.
	Why don't we call him up, call John King at 202-513-2093 and just ask if you can advertise.
	Just say, I'd like to buy a couple spots.
	Just play it like that.
	Hi, we have a new product and we'd really like to advertise this.
	Can we buy some spots from you and maybe some host endorsements?
	Would that be possible?
	Just a couple?
	So before we get to the heroin, because that of course is another one of our favorite topics, I do need to play this clip from the European Union.
	This is European Parliament, Strasbourg, dateline, I believe January 20th.
	This is Godfrey Bloom from the UK Independent Party, and he deserves some form of medal in my book.
	Okay.
	Here we go.
	Oops.
	Er, play.
	Mr.
	Bloom, for one and a half minutes, please.
	Well, Mr.
	President, of course, you can tell I'm a sca...
	because I don't dress like a scarecrow.
	I fought my way through the blizzard in Copenhagen, like many of you did.
	Interesting, isn't it, that we've had the coldest winter so far on record in London for 30 years.
	It's the same in Poland.
	It's the same in Korea.
	It's the same in China.
	We've had the coldest temperatures in Florida, Arizona, Texas.
	The first snow in Texas, I think, for 100 years.
	And of course, as Charles Corrin of the London Times said, my goodness me, my goodness me, we simply don't get it, of course.
	Of course, that's what global warming is all about.
	We've got to get used to freezing temperatures.
	Well, we've seen the Al Gore hockey stick, which is still, I gather, being shown in London state schools.
	Al Gore, snake oil salesman, crook.
	Yay!
	Let me just play that again for you.
	That's like another 30 seconds.
	I just wanted to stop on the Al Gore snake oil salesman crook.
	Beautiful.
	Now they're being shown in London state schools.
	Al Gore snake oil salesman crook.
	We've seen Professor Jones from the East Anglia University, crook.
	And now, you won't know about this yet because it's been kept out of the public domain, the New Zealand National Climate Database, and I have the figures here, all fraudulent.
	When are you all going to wake up?
	Scam, scam, scam.
	I love it.
	And he's taken on the meme, except he did the magic three, but I think it has to be scam, scam, scam, and scam to compete with...
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	So, uh...
	As an aside, kind of a real news aside, I want somebody to document for me.
	And this came up, you know, there's a woman comic that was on the SAG Awards, accepting her award, and she, if you play the woo clip, listen at the very end when she gives an award.
	Oh, no, it's funny because I sat on the couch, I knew exactly what it is, and I said to Mickey, I said, when you win the award, do not do that.
	That is wrong.
	Paul Chuck and Ian Brennan and Ryan for pitching into our strike zone every week, and we thank them so much.
	And of course, you don't do this in a vacuum.
	We want to thank our crew who do in 10 days what should take a month and a half.
	So thank you so much.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	That was it.
	When did women start doing that shit?
	You see it all the time.
	You see it when you watch sporting events and they shoot.
	When did women start doing that warrior yell, woo!
	Like that, only in a high-pitched woman voice.
	When did that begin?
	Because when I was a kid, I swear to God, I don't remember ever seeing women going, woo!
	No.
	Like that.
	No, it's wrong.
	It is not feminine.
	It is not sexy.
	And it's just wrong.
	When did it start?
	I think with Howard Dean.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	No, it's funny.
	I saw the same thing.
	I was like, oh man, don't do that.
	That is so bad.
	Do it like Sandra Bullock.
	She was great.
	She's like, I love my man.
	He's hot.
	That's what I want to hear.
	Maybe you go get that award.
	You tell everyone I'm hot.
	Well, I'd just like somebody out there who listens to this show to document for me when this became a thing to do.
	I think I've got to mark that particular little bit.
	When did that become a thing to do?
	I'm just baffled by it.
	It might have started with Chippendales or something like that, but there must be some cultural thing.
	Maybe in some movies or something that that started.
	I agree.
	It's weird.
	It's definitely weird.
	I'm going to just stay in the Gitmo Nation East for a minute.
	Police plan on using military-style spy drones.
	Yay!
	Yeah.
	This is really good.
	Of course, it's for security for the 2012 Olympics.
	Yeah, right.
	Of course, they'll never stop flying.
	They're over the States all the time, by the way.
	I wouldn't be surprised.
	I don't know.
	We have documented footage of them launching it in Texas.
	There's a launch of one of these drones.
	Well, you can't see them.
	When they get up there, you can't see them in the sky.
	They're so small.
	But they can still blow you out of the water.
	Well, I don't know if they have actual weaponry on board.
	Yeah, why not?
	They might.
	Here's the way it would work.
	So, General, the situation occurred and you had a drone over it and you couldn't stop it?
	No, sir, we don't have any weaponry on board, domestic things.
	Domestic drones.
	Why is that?
	Wouldn't it have come in handy if you would have had a weapon on it just even for an emergency purpose?
	Yes, sir, I guess it would.
	I mean, it seems to me that you'd rather have the guy say, yes, we have weapons on there for emergency purposes, and you save the world from destruction because you used it.
	I mean, I don't believe these things are unarmed.
	You know, you're so right, John.
	We have not had a donation from the United Kingdom in a while, and there's a lot going on.
	It looks like they're bringing back the prison ships, since the prisons are all overloaded.
	The UK's floating jail, HMP Weir, might be coming back.
	So they can, instead of releasing offenders early...
	Put them on a boat.
	Put them on a boat.
	That's right.
	Put them on a boat.
	Send the boat to Australia.
	Here's something that we did not hear about in the news because of the Haiti relief efforts.
	There's a group called...
	What are they called?
	I'll find it.
	Here it is.
	42 people arrested at the Capitol in day of action to denounce Obama's broken promises on Guantanamo.
	In a dramatic protest, 42 activists with witness against torture were arrested this afternoon at the US Capitol.
	Most of the arrestees had been fasting since January 11th.
	I hadn't heard any of this.
	Oh, of course not.
	And they were in the Capitol.
	They have orange prisoner suits on.
	But these are like older people.
	Like there's a grandmother who was arrested.
	Yeah, they probably thought Obama was going to stick to his word that the first thing he was going to do was close Gitmo.
	Well, of course, in a bizarre, twisted sixth sense, he actually announced that we're keeping Gitmo open on the exact day that it was supposed to be closed.
	The exact day.
	We've got to keep it open.
	It's really good for Haiti.
	It's close by.
	It's close by.
	We didn't even talk about...
	Now the news has come out that these three prisoners who apparently had committed suicide actually were tortured to death.
	And then let's not even mention about, I guess it's Bagram in Afghanistan where there's 600, this is Gitmo Supermax, supersized, 600 prisoners in there.
	So we're just going to keep it all.
	How come he didn't mention that in his weekly address?
	No, no, no, he doesn't feel like it.
	I mean, if it was a lion anyway.
	If I were those guys, I would have just said, yeah, we closed it.
	No one's going to go check.
	No one's going to check.
	Why don't you just lie about that, too?
	We closed it.
	Yeah, it's closed.
	Yeah, what's your problem?
	There's just a couple people there just hanging out.
	Yeah, it's just a maintenance crew.
	Yeah, maintenance.
	Flush the toilets every other day.
	What are you talking about?
	Give me a break.
	It's closed.
	Am I mistaken, John?
	Did I remember?
	Didn't we have...
	An invasion of Haiti, Port-au-Prince at one point.
	I think this was during Bush.
	And the media was actually waiting on the beach when the Marines arrived on the beach.
	Do you remember that?
	I don't remember that, but it wouldn't surprise me.
	Because that keeps bugging me in the back of my mind, like, didn't that happen in Port-au-Prince?
	And the media was literally there, and the Marines arrived on the beach in their rubber boats.
	And this always reminds me of these documentaries where the guy's out in the middle of nowhere, and he says, ah, I'm the first person to come up, climb up this mountain, and there's a cameraman following up there.
	I hear the first person.
	The camera guy's the first person.
	Alright, so now over to the anthrax and the heroin.
	Now 15 cases confirmed in Scotland of anthrax in the heroin.
	That wouldn't be very good for you.
	And I'm just trying to think what this is.
	Well, it's anthrax and the heroin.
	There could be a drug war going on.
	Oh, but we had deworming stuff in coke.
	We had deworming goop in the cocaine, and now we've got anthrax and heroin.
	And these two groups of people who really are behind the heroin trafficking is not the same.
	No, no, because the cocaine comes from South America, and so that's pretty much been deemed very, very dangerous and is killing off its fans.
	And so you're right, maybe the war is now, oh yeah, you're going to mess with our supply?
	Take that, bitch!
	We're going to put some anthrax in your shit!
	It doesn't even have to be true, just the news alone.
	But, I mean, I love the line, like, Dr.
	Colin Ramsey, consultant epidemiologist at Health Protection Scotland, said, Heroin users all across Scotland need to be aware of the risk their supply may be contaminated.
	They should seek medical advice urgently.
	Call your doctor.
	If they experience signs of infection such as redness and swelling of an infection site or high fever.
	Dude, you're on heroin.
	It's like...
	I would urge all drug users to stop using heroin immediately and contact local drug services for support.
	Oh...
	Oh.
	This could be a push to get them on the legal stuff.
	Yeah, maybe.
	It's possible.
	But I think the idea of a true drug war is probably true.
	I like it.
	It's the C against the H. We've got to come up with a meme for that.
	It's the...
	What is it?
	Horse?
	So we've got heroin is horse.
	What is coke?
	What's a...
	It's the pony.
	It's the pony against the horse.
	Isn't it the white pony?
	No, the white pony is heroin.
	Hold on, let me ask the expert.
	I don't think there is a good secondary moniker.
	Street argot for cocaine.
	Let me just look it up while he's asking the expert.
	Street?
	Donald Duck?
	Apparently Donald Duck.
	Donald Duck?
	Donald Duck is apparently street slang for coke.
	It's the duck against the horse.
	I don't think that's common.
	I'm looking at argot.com.
	Ask your doctor if anthrax-laced heroin is right for you.
	You may experience suicidal tendencies.
	If you go to Argot, A-R-G-O-T, which is a word...
	Charlie.
	Charlie.
	And you go...
	Charlie.
	Charlie is...
	I don't know.
	Here, drug slang.
	Okay.
	Here's a quiz for you.
	And bring Ricky in on this.
	Tell me what these are.
	Ready?
	Okay.
	John's going to do a quiz.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Hold on.
	Let me turn off the noise gate so I can hear.
	Hold on a second.
	Where's the friggin' gate?
	Okay.
	Alright.
	What?
	Okay, what's an Abe?
	What's an Abe?
	What?
	An Abe.
	A-B-E, Abe.
	A-B-E, Abe.
	Yeah, she doesn't know.
	Eh.
	Eh.
	Five dollars worth of drugs.
	That's what it means.
	That's five dollars worth of drugs.
	Dude, we don't do five dollars, man.
	We go for the fifty.
	A-D. What's A-D? A-D? Yeah.
	A-D is, uh, I don't know.
	PCP. You're not very good at this.
	Okay, here's one.
	What's Adam?
	Adam?
	Yeah, like you.
	Like me.
	And Adam is like a really good high.
	MDMA. Oh, Adam is MDMA? Did you know that?
	No.
	She doesn't know that.
	Opinion.
	Slip me a mickey.
	It's opium.
	African bush.
	African bush.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	I know this.
	I know this.
	This is Beyonce.
	It's marijuana.
	Here's one.
	An Alice B. Toklas.
	Alice B. Toklas has got to be something with LSD something.
	It's a marijuana brownie.
	Dude, we just say marijuana brownie.
	Alice B. Toklas.
	Let me go to the D's.
	There's like thousands of these.
	What's a BJ's?
	BJ's.
	Hmm.
	I wouldn't know.
	What's a BJ, honey?
	Okay, I'll give you a hint.
	It's the same thing as a baby tea.
	Okay, we give up.
	It's the same thing as bad.
	Dude, we don't know.
	It's the same thing as ball.
	It's an eight ball.
	Crack.
	Dude, we don't know because we don't do drugs.
	Apparently.
	No, you're the expert.
	You don't even know what black gunji is.
	Yeah, black gunji is hashish.
	Okay, so let me look up Donald Duck.
	Yeah, I bet you Donald Duck is right.
	Curry powder?
	Do you know what that is?
	No, I don't care.
	Curry powder?
	It's a really good spice.
	You should try it on your chicken.
	There's no Donald Duck listed.
	Because you're looking at some lame-ass CIA list.
	Here's another one.
	Here's one.
	Double bubble.
	A double bubble.
	That's a great chewing gum.
	That's cocaine.
	Alright, I don't know where these terms come from.
	What's a dove?
	Here's a dove.
	It's a $35 piece of crack.
	A dove?
	Yeah.
	I'm going to try that on the street tomorrow.
	Hey, man, you got a dove.
	Hit me with a dove, baby.
	I need a dove.
	Dove.
	The chat room suggests we do this test with Bill Clinton.
	We might get better results.
	Argot.com.
	What is it?
	Argot.
	A-R-G-O-T.com.
	You can get the list yourself.
	Anyway, so I like that theory, John.
	I think that there may be something to it.
	Because there's no reason.
	I mean, there's no reason for these guys to be poisoning their supply.
	No, that's not going to help the business.
	It's costing a lot of money to get the good stuff in here.
	Okay.
	So I've got a couple more clips, and then we can finish.
	Oh, yeah.
	Because you want to keep it to an hour and a half, and here he goes again.
	Let's do some more clips.
	What?
	We're past our hour and a half.
	Oh, well, then let's get these clips out of the way, because there's something here.
	During all the stuff that's going on, you know, one of the things that's one of the greatest events in the world is a World's Fair, a World's Exposition.
	They have them in Paris.
	They still got them?
	Oh, yeah, they still crop up every once in a while.
	And there's one in Korea, like, you know, maybe 10 years ago, and, you know, we've had a few in the United States, none recently, because we've got nothing to show off.
	So you'd think that if some country that has something to show off and wanted to drop just hundreds of millions of dollars into a World's Fair...
	That would be China.
	You'd think it'd be China, and you'd think we'd know about it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Play China Clip 2.
	Yeah.
	With a little over 100 days to go until the official opening of the Shanghai World Expo, workers lined up Monday to look at their construction efforts so far.
	Officials say 90% of the construction work is complete.
	Monday marked the 1000th day after the expo site broke ground.
	As it is 110-day countdown to the opening of Shanghai Expo, we gathered all the constructors and management staff from all the construction departments for the last phase of work to ensure that we will finish the construction amount of 1.1 billion yuan in the last 110 days.
	All buildings are expected to be ready for late March for test runs before the opening ceremony.
	Wow.
	March.
	Yeah, we've got to go to this thing.
	You ought to see these buildings they're putting up.
	They're unbelievable.
	Yeah, because why would we even know this in the United States, even though Shanghai is actually a pretty easy trip, especially from the West Coast?
	Especially since they, like, own us.
	Yeah, so no.
	Shouldn't China have a newsletter or something?
	Well, we're doing it for them.
	Of course, we haven't got any donations from anyone from China ever.
	And we do have, from time to time, I think someone from China listens...
	As in the chat room.
	But I think, just like your bank, you know, when you borrow a lot of money from your bank, they send out a newsletter.
	Yeah, we need a newsletter from these guys.
	Can they jack into our Google accounts and just send it?
	Meanwhile, I think the Chinese are going out of their way to insult us with these various announcers who speak pidgin English.
	I mean, there are people that speak fluent English in China, believe me, and they should be doing these broadcasts.
	I want you to play clip three, China 3, and tell me what this woman actually says.
	China's central bank, the People's Bank of China, lifted its benchmark one-year bill yield higher for the first time in five months Tuesday, sending a clear signal that its monetary fine-tune was well on the road.
	It also showed record-high 200 billion yuan of 28-day repost earlier Tuesday.
	Market analysts say the move is aimed to enhance liquidity soak up in view of the huge credit granting expected.
	I think we have to play this backwards.
	I think there's hidden messages.
	I think there's hidden messages in this.
	Although, you doing that horrible Chinese accent is not going to do us any good with our Chinese listeners.
	No, are you kidding me?
	The Chinese are probably like, God, they're embarrassed about this crap.
	I mean, this is dumb.
	This is what people think of us.
	Look at these buildings we're putting up over here.
	...and the large fund release on open market.
	She's a robot.
	That's what she is.
	She's terrible.
	This is what you need to do.
	So what was it?
	She said the bull market is...
	Liquidity soak up.
	Liquidity soak up.
	Okay.
	So all you got to do is you do the mouth, John.
	Okay.
	Can you just...
	Hold on.
	Why isn't I doing that?
	Here we go.
	You do the mouth, and here we go.
	The bull market is up liquidity, so wake up.
	I misspelled soak.
	How sad is that?
	Okay.
	Yeah, it doesn't really work.
	That's what it is.
	She's a robot.
	Well, I don't know what she is, but she stinks.
	Nice.
	So, got anything else?
	Are we done?
	Let me just check.
	Yeah, so we talked briefly about Bernanke.
	It looks like they're having some trouble actually confirming him.
	Yeah, good.
	Yeah, but it's really interesting because half of the, I guess the Senate confirms him, half of the Senate is saying he was responsible for the crisis.
	The other half is saying he pulled us back from the brink because we can't pronounce precipice.
	Well, you know, Obama's a big fan of his for some unknown reason.
	Hey, Obama, note this.
	It was a Bush appointee.
	Wouldn't you want to get him out of there unless Obama's handlers are telling him that, no, Bernanke's got to stay.
	Your social network chit-chat could have an impact on your credit.
	Creditors apparently are now checking out what you post on your Facebook and Twitter accounts.
	This is according to creditcards.com.
	They use a company called Rap Leaf, who monitors what people tweet or post on Facebook, compiles what it calls social graphs of your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses.
	It's a SWOT analysis.
	And they're using this to determine if you're creditworthy or not.
	Well, I'll be using cash.
	Jeez, it's terrible.
	Yeah, I think that, well, we've talked about this before.
	Don't post stuff.
	Don't put up pictures.
	Don't do this stuff.
	It's not good.
	Angel Island, I thought, was just an interesting proclamation amidst all of this, and I'm not quite sure why it just piqued my interest.
	Do you know of Angel Island?
	Yeah, over here.
	Yeah, that's like the Ellis Island of the West.
	Yeah, I can see it from my house.
	So on January 20th, the President proclaimed January 20th National Angel Island Day.
	Why?
	Well, I don't know.
	That's why I thought it was kind of interesting.
	Because he literally says, unlike immigrants who marveled at the stature of liberty upon arrival at Ellis Island, those who came to Angel Island were greeted by an intake facility that was sometimes called the Guardian of the Western Gate.
	Racially prejudiced immigration laws of the time subjected many to rigorous exams and interrogations.
	Oh, it's like Gitmo.
	Yeah.
	As well as detention in crowded, unsanitary barracks.
	If there's any vindication for the Angel Island immigrants...
	Oh, here it is.
	If there's any vindication for the Angel Island immigrants who endured so many hardships, it is the success achieved by those who are allowed entry and the many who at long last gained citizenship.
	So it's like 40 acres and a mule.
	Like, hey, you know, you were stuck on that thing, you got in, you made it, so here you go.
	Here's a day to think about it.
	I can't see it any other way.
	Yeah, it's pretty humiliating.
	And, you know, we got some 33 stuff.
	I don't have to talk about that.
	And then, of course, we had a couple more crotch bomber-related incidents.
	I like the kid who put the prayer box on his head and the plane turned around.
	Yeah.
	I've never seen this, by the way, a Jewish prayer ceremony.
	This must be Orthodox.
	I guess there's some kind of box with the scrolls that you put on your head?
	I don't know about that.
	I've seen all these Orthodox Jews in the West Wall, in Jerusalem, and I've never seen anybody put a box on their head.
	I was in there.
	The plane headed for Louisville, Kentucky was rerouted after a 17-year-old boy began using Teflin, which, Teflin, maybe we should Google that, boxes with religious scrolls inside that are bound to the head and arms with leather straps for Jewish prayer.
	What kind of cruel joke is that?
	You make your kids do this.
	Okay, time to pray.
	Put this box on your head and strap it.
	I don't get it.
	What is the point?
	You'll be getting a memo from a reformed...
	I just like to...
	I can laugh about that.
	I just like to know what it is.
	Anyway, the flight attendant was unfamiliar with the device.
	Noticed it.
	How come the passengers weren't diving on top of the guy's head?
	Described it to the pilot.
	The pilot then made the decision to divert the plane.
	Why divert the plane?
	What difference does it make?
	You're in the air already.
	If the guy's going to blow it up, he'll blow it up on the diversion.
	It doesn't make any sense to divert the plane.
	I'm just telling.
	I'm just reading the Bloomberg report.
	I don't understand either.
	I know, but I'm just wondering the logic here.
	You're in the air.
	You're flying around, and some guy starts doing some crazy praying, at least from everybody else's standards, maybe from his own.
	He's a conservative.
	And he's just in there praying.
	Of course, what airline was this?
	U.S. Oh, yeah.
	Well, I'd be praying, too.
	I'm just going to put a box on my head and strap it around next time I'm flying.
	So the kid's praying, and so you're up in the air, and the guy says, Oh my God, we don't know what this is all about.
	I better go back.
	I better turn around and inconvenience all the passengers.
	If he's going to blow the place up, which he wasn't, obviously, he would do it right there on the spot.
	I mean, the whole thing is stupid.
	Why do you inconvenience the entire plane and turn back around?
	Yeah, if he blows it up, it's going to be just as much an inconvenience.
	No, it's not it.
	He's going to blow it up.
	He's going to blow it up.
	It's not going to blow it up because of the direction you're going.
	Oh, he's going south now.
	I guess I won't blow it up.
	I mean, it doesn't make any sense.
	No.
	All right, two more.
	The new data on the ability of cruciferous vegetables halting cancer is now out.
	David Vogelpohl: Yes.
	22-50% decline in lung cancer among smokers if they eat 4.5 servings of raw cruciferous vegetables a month.
	That's like one a week.
	And cruciferous, I think, is like broccoli and...
	What is cruciferous, John?
	I don't know.
	Let's look it up on Google.
	I think it is those heavy green things that nobody likes.
	But that's pretty amazing, if this data is true.
	Yeah, it could be bogus.
	Well...
	It could be.
	This is from Medscape.com.
	The finding was presented at the 7th Annual American Association for Cancer Research International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research held in D.C. The study indeed suggests that the risk of developing lung cancer was reduced 22% to 50%, which is like, I don't understand why they couldn't just give me, like, why don't you just say 33%.
	Horseradish.
	Horseradish, really?
	land crest, Ethiopian mustard, kale, collard greens, Chinese broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, kohlrabi, broccoli, broccol flour, broccoli romanesco, cauliflower, wild broccoli, bok choy, komatsuna, mizuna, rapini, flowering cabbage, Chinese cabbage, turnips, flowering cabbage, Chinese cabbage, turnips, rutabagas, canola, rapeseed, mustard seeds, rocket, garden crest, water crest, radish, daikon, and wasabi.
	That sounds pretty much like what Mickey eats for lunch.
	Well, she won't get cancer then.
	No.
	This is great.
	This is great news.
	Of course, this stuff will be outlawed because it makes you fart like a crazy man.
	Generally speaking, if you're getting gas from vegetables or even onions with garlic or any of these things, it's because of the amount of nitrogen they've pumped into the soil.
	It's a very natural product and essentially causes problems with your digestive tract.
	Really?
	I got this lecture, by the way, from a garlic guy.
	Because I had this recipe for sweetbreads and I used elephant garlic.
	And one time I started using elephant garlic, which then became popular for some unknown reason, which is a huge piece of huge giant garlic that's very mild.
	And then I had this issue of what's going on?
	This stinks.
	You know, if you know what I'm saying.
	Yeah, hell yeah.
	So I went to this...
	So I was at a farmer's...
	Not a farmer's market, but a fair, a harvest fair.
	And I went to this guy, this guy growing as a garlic guy.
	And I said, oh man, you have farts from these gazelles and garlic has ruined this recipe for me.
	He says, you're getting...
	Elephant garlic that has been dosed with too much fertilizer.
	So, um...
	Because I get it from Brussels sprouts.
	Go find some...
	Go find...
	Where's my whoopee cushion?
	Go find...
	Try organic.
	It gives you those really silent, smelly ones, too.
	Go get some organic.
	We have nothing but organic.
	We get all of our stuff from Whole Foods.
	It's all organic.
	Try a different store.
	You saw a baby trying to talk.
	Alright, so let's wind it up with the counter commercial to the Australia Day lamb commercial.
	This was sent by our...
	Jay Won't Dart, our No Agenda Vegan in Residence.
	And I do think it's kind of funny, because remember we played that clip of the Australian football player who said, let's make January 21st, Australia Day, Lamb Day.
	You recall?
	No.
	Yeah, we played it on the last show!
	Oh yeah, I remember.
	Have some more anthrax in your heroin.
	Yeah.
	Okay, so here is the commercial against that, and it takes an interesting twist at the end, as you can imagine.
	My fellow Australians, last year was tough.
	Tough and confusing.
	Global warming had us packing an umbrella, swimmers and a snowboard just to go and buy a skim chai caramel latte.
	The financial crisis meant that banks went bust.
	People lost money.
	We all got $900 in Kevin Rudd's stimulus, and interest rates were up and down like Tiger Woods' backside in a nightclub car park.
	Confusing.
	When the first fleet landed at Botany Bay, Captain Cook and his poncy cronies had been living on salted meat for ages.
	They were confused and riddled with scurvy because they didn't eat enough vegetarian burgers.
	But I can't help but think that if Cook and that wig-wearing florist Joseph Banks had been packing some quality vegetarian goods on board the Endeavour, they might have landed somewhere decent, like Noosa, Sorrento, Margaret River or Bondi Beach, rather than Botany Bay, home to an oil refinery and an airport.
	There are some people, like our friend Sam, who think that a vegetarian meal is un-Australian and that lamb is the only way to go.
	Sure, lamb is okay if you like that sort of thing, but is it Australian?
	Only if New Zealand is a suburb of Sydney and no one told me.
	Let's stop the confusion, people.
	Put on some Powderfinger, Mad Max, and chuck a vegetarian sausage on the barbie.
	And fellas, while you stand around at your Australia Day barbie chewing the fat, literally, remember, women aren't going to be impressed by a bloke and his boofhead mates who tear into the remains of poor old Mary's fluffy little white lamb.
	They want a sensitive fella, a fella who can tell them how much she reminds them of Carrie from Sex and a City, and give them a foot massage at the same time.
	When Kevin Rudd and Penny Wong flew to Copenhagen last year, it wasn't just for those tasty waffle ice cream cones.
	It was to work out what to do about global warming.
	And what did they come up with?
	Bugger all.
	I'll tell you the answer to global warming.
	Less meat.
	That's right.
	One of the worst greenhouse gases is methane.
	And what do you get when cows and sheep fart?
	Methane.
	So if we eat less meat, we breed less cows, we breed less sheep, they eat less grass, they fart less, the earth gets cooler.
	Problem solved.
	This Australia Day, it's time to stop the confusion and stop global warming.
	I say let's have a day every week where all we eat is tasty fries, vego treats.
	Friday!
	We won't even have to change the name.
	It's obvious, and you know it.
	So, this kind of helped me get into this whole vegetable thing.
	It's like, if you're eating all these vegetables with all this nitrogen, you're farting more than when you eat meat.
	Yeah, but, yeah, yeah, especially if they're loaded with nitrogen, apparently, at least according to this guy.
	But it was, when I used his garlic, it didn't have the problem, because he didn't over-fertilize.
	And some of the, yeah, people over, yeah, but then again, I don't know if the, you know, if you go, try a different, Brussels sprouts have never had a problem with like what you described.
	There must be something in it.
	No, I know Brussels sprouts is well known to cause gas.
	Come on.
	Oh, yeah?
	Well, it's probably from the sulfur compounds in there.
	I've never had a problem with Brussels sprouts.
	What does make you fart, John?
	Well, that bad garlic.
	You've cut one in the car after a dinner we had.
	I remember that once.
	No, I don't think so.
	Yes, you did, because you had all the windows down.
	I was like, why does he have all the windows down?
	And then I realized, and I didn't say anything, because we had like a bottle of wine, I didn't want to like embarrass you or anything.
	I don't remember that.
	Yeah, I do.
	Well, I'm sorry.
	In the Buick, remember?
	The Buick?
	Yeah, your Buick.
	Oh yeah, the Buick.
	The, uh...
	I don't know what to say.
	I'm just saying.
	I'm just saying, you know, how did this discussion go?
	I don't know, it's time to end the show.
	Yes, and did yes, ladies and gentlemen.
	At one point in my life, I did fart.
	Finally, I have the opening for the show.
	Coming to you from the Minimum Security Containment Cell Crackpot Command Center in San Francisco, Gitmo Nation West, I'm Adam Curry.
	And in northern Silicon Valley with the windows open.
	Oh no, it's starting to rain.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be here again.
	Hope you join us for the early service Thursday morning, 9 a.m.
	Gitmo Nation West PST time.
