171: Botulism Vaccine Coming

Time Text
So I guess now when you say, hey, that babe's got dynamite boobs, you ain't kidding.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's February 4th, 2010, time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 171.
This is no agenda.
Banging the budget into the stratosphere and coming to you from the minimum security containment cell, live at the Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation West, San Francisco, California, in the morning.
I'm Adam Curry.
February 4th, say it's not so.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
In the morning to you.
Morning to you.
Isn't February 4th Valentine's Day?
No, that would be the 14th.
Oh, whew.
Yeah, I can just hear Mimi's eyes are rolling as we speak.
Well, she knows I'm not very good with dates.
I was going to say, let me guess.
You guys don't participate in Valentine's Day.
No, we do.
Whatever the kids want to do, we do it.
But Valentine's Day is for your loved one, not for the kids.
No, it's great.
Look at what kids do.
We have Valentine's Day parties, and everyone gives everyone anonymous valentines throughout the classroom, although I think that's probably been banned lately.
Wait, it's politically incorrect?
You've got to be kidding me.
I'm thinking.
It's funny you bring that up, because last night as I was prepping before I went to bed, I was reading about Rahm Emanuel, and I guess he had said somewhere that some...
Some gathering he had talked about those effing retards.
Did you hear about that?
No, no, but I can just...
All you have to do is look at him and you know he says that.
So, hold on a second.
I've got the link.
It's really funny because I bumped into something amazing that we've got to jump on the bandwagon here.
Here it is.
Wall Street Journal.
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel met with disabilities advocates and apologized again for his use of the word retarded.
Criticism of Mr.
Emanuel had been building since the Wall Street Journal reported last week that he told a group of liberal activists that it was effing retarded for them to run attack ads against some Democrats.
By the way, for those of you outside of Gitmo Nation USA, Rahm Emanuel is the Chief of Staff for the President of the United States.
And then I see that he actually had a private meeting in which he apologized to Special Olympics head Tim Shriver.
Now, I know Tim.
I've had dinner with him once.
And he's kind of like the poor side of the Kennedy family.
And he runs the Special Olympics, which of course for years was run by his mom, I guess, right?
Eunice?
Yeah.
And so I'm like looking around, and it turns out there's actually a...
A whole movement, hold on, www, check this out, John, r-word.org.
So not only do we have the N-word, which we can't use, of course we have the C-word, which we've not been able to use for a long time, but now we have the R-word, r-word.org.
You may no longer say the word retard.
Our language frames how we think about others.
Help eliminate the use of the R word in everyday speech.
It's this whole website.
Yeah, they got more pledges than we do.
52,277.
Well, those are pledges.
That's not money.
It's the same thing.
That's where you pledge money.
No, no, no.
The pledge is...
The pledge here...
Oh, it does not use the word retard.
Yeah.
It's a perfectly okay word.
Well, if they don't want you to use it because it refers to a subculture, subgroup of people, whatever, eh, I don't have a problem dropping it.
Really?
I mean, I find it ridiculous.
First of all, the word retard, you use that in aviation all the time, by the way, to retard the throttle, as an example, which means pull back and slow down.
Yeah, it's an accurate...
But if you look in the dictionary, it actually...
The word retard and retarded is in the dictionary.
Yeah.
Well, if you want to retard the throttle, that's different.
No, it's in the dictionary as a...
I'll look it up for you.
I'll look up the exact definition.
I think it's just going a bit too far.
At what point...
When I was in Jersey, hanging out with the guys from Skid Row and stuff down here, Tom's River, they had this guy who...
That's kind of a strange thing to say out of the blue.
I was at Jersey last week hanging out in Skid Row.
What were you doing?
Well, listen.
This was down on Tom's River.
This is that whole area where Bon Jovi came from.
And later on, there was a whole bunch of real rock bands that were from there.
And we had this one guy who would hang out around the studio.
And he was...
I think he had polio.
And, you know, and he would call himself, and everyone called him the cripple, or actually Chet the Leaning Mule is what we called him.
He probably more likely had cerebral palsy.
Could have been cerebral palsy.
But, you know, it was like, and it made him so much more comfortable, and he was so much more a part of the group just by, you know, everyone called each other douchebag, or, you know, by the way, talk about derogatory.
Don't use the D word.
Douchebags of the world will be offended.
You're a retard.
Douchebags of the world.
Douchebags unite.
Yeah.
Noun, a mentally handicapped person.
So it says it right there in the dictionary.
Of course, it does say often used as a general term of abuse, but it's like a valid word.
I think we can go too far.
We only have 26 letters that we can ban.
Before you know it, we're just going to be saying N-C-P-N-N. I'm not saying that it's a good idea, and I don't think it's going to get very far, to be honest about it.
But I can't get worked up about people finding it to, you know, they want to end the usage.
I can't get worked up about it.
But why can't you call someone else?
There's two sides to it.
Why wouldn't you be able to call someone who's mentally retarded, which is a proper term, right?
Or you can't say that you are mentally retarded.
You are the retardation.
I mean, is that not a proper use of the word?
Only retard is derogatory?
What am I going to call people?
Excuse me, could you please give me a card with your actual issue?
Yeah.
What would you like me to call you?
Yeah, really, it's like that Down Syndrome guy?
I mean, does that sound nice?
Does that sound any nicer?
Or to that special person?
I'm sorry, I just, I can't buy that stuff.
I like special.
I think that's why I'm going to start calling you.
I know I'm special.
But seriously, it's crazy.
I think you're making a mountain out of a bull hill.
No, because this is how it starts.
Oh, and the next thing you know, we're in concentration camps.
You mean the C-camp word.
And by the way, don't talk about the H-word.
And don't blame it on the J word.
I mean, this is where it's going to go, man.
This is exactly where it's going to go.
Maybe I take offense to the R word.
Well, here's John C. McGinley.
Hi, I'm John C. McGinley.
I'm an ambassador for the National Down Syndrome Society, and today I'm joining up with the Special Olympics to bring you a message that's very important to me.
As Dr.
Cox on Scrubs, you've heard me call JD many different names over the years.
Patricia, Pam, Helen, Billy, Nicole, Deb, Nancy, Kathleen, Mary, Loretta, and Grace.
But one name you have never heard me use is retard or retarded.
Words are powerful.
Hearing the R word makes people with intellectual disabilities and those who love them feel like less valued members of humanity.
That's why we're asking you to help spread the word to end the R word.
Join the campaign and make your pledge.
It's time to respect and value people with intellectual disabilities.
It's time to end the R word.
I'm sorry, that's an intellectually disabled person.
That's what you're supposed to say, I guess.
I'm thinking, you know what I'm thinking?
This is some sort of, now that you mention that the guys from the poor side of the Kennedy family, this is some sort of a meme created to associate the R-word, well, retarded, with Republicans.
Yeah!
I like it.
The whole thing seems like a scheme.
When you start saying the R word, the first thing that comes to mind to me is Republican.
I like it.
I put it within my brain that it's like retarded Republican, retarded Republican, same thing.
Interesting.
That's not bad.
Now I'll take your side because of that.
Cool.
Welcome to the party.
I mean the P word.
We just need to be claiming these words.
Well, let's claim a few of our own.
Yeah, okay.
The D word, I think, is good.
What's the D word?
The douchebag!
Oh, douchebag.
You know why douchebag was created, of course?
It's because it's not libelous or slanderous.
You know what?
When I first heard it, I guess late 80s, you're a douche, douchebag, I could see women physically cringe.
They didn't like the idea of you talking about a device they from time to time have to use for vaginal hygiene.
But it became a term of an aggressive epithet.
I think mostly within the last few years, especially with people like John Stewart who use it to attack somebody without doing anything that's actually libelous or slanderous.
And if it ever wasn't even considered libelous or slanderous, you know there's never going to be a court hearing where somebody goes up and goes, so Mr.
Curry, do you consider yourself a douchebag?
I'd be like, yes.
I object to that.
Guilty as charged.
Well, I'm asking if he thinks he's a douchebag.
You know, like a derogatory term towards homosexuals, a Nancy.
You know, the Nancys of the world must be pissed off.
Pelosi, by the way, must be livid.
Isn't he gay?
Sorry?
I'm sorry.
The timing was bad.
The joke wasn't funny.
I meant to say lesbian or something like that.
Yeah, it didn't work out.
No, that was bad.
So now you've ruined it for me.
Let's move on.
We'll find some real topics.
Who is this week's, or this episode's, executive producer?
And do we have more than one?
We have, again, another trio.
Oh.
So let's start off with...
A menage a trois.
Get your sound effect ready.
Which one?
For the night.
Oh!
Oh my goodness!
Oh, okay.
Oh, he's stunned.
I stunned him.
Yes, you did.
Let me write down the name first.
We have a night!
A new one as executive producer!
Cool!
He's executive producer.
He's given us money before.
So this is just wrapping it up.
So he's on a layaway program.
Well, self...
Self-induced.
Self-induced.
Self-induced layaway.
Nighthood layaway.
Oh, the K-word.
Yes.
Andrew Green, G-R-E-E-N-E, of Palm Harbor, Florida!
Come on down!
Alright, Andrew, stand before me.
Neil!
Andrew Green!
I hereby knight you!
Sir Andrew Green of the No Agenda Roundtable.
Two Advil will help the headache, Andrew.
Sounds like you chopped his arms off.
Well, thank you, Andrew.
That's awesome.
Welcome to the No Agenda Roundtable as one of our official nights.
And, of course, you can put the K-word on your resume.
And it has been known.
Yes, it will.
It will.
So he gave us the $850 in addition to the $150 he gave us before.
And he said he's going to be going to London Paris later this year.
Do you either have good restaurant suggestions?
I sent him a note for some London ideas.
I'll follow up with some Paris ideas.
I have a great idea all of a sudden.
I have a great incentive.
Yeah, for a night...
Well, we want to just have him go over to your house and...
No, no, not quite, no.
Not quite that good.
I was thinking, why don't we make a No Agenda night app, which you can't buy, but which you will be given.
Your iPhone will be provisioned.
And that night app allows you to contact any of the other nights.
Of course, the phone numbers will be hidden, but you can basically, when you're in a pinch, the GPS knows where you are.
It knows where the closest night is.
And it'll be like our digital gypsy ring.
I like it.
And in addition, of course, if you need to reach the castle, then you can call us.
It'll mask the phone numbers, but it's a very personalized thing.
You can't give it to anybody unless you give the whole phone away.
And there would be some special benefits, and it's really just for the nights.
I like it.
And while we're at it, John, why don't we just throw in an iPhone?
They're going to be 99 bucks.
I'm not arguing on any of these ideas.
I think that's interesting.
Okay.
Well, let's get our other executive producers out of the way.
Yes, please do.
We have a $25 donation from Stone Harriman, who's in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
And he's another one of these guys who has picked up on the...
Hooker's in Blow Meme.
Did I say Bow Meme?
That's a place in Texas, by the way.
Bow Meme, Texas.
Blow Meme.
And told us to spend the money on that.
Thank you, Stone.
Thank you, Stone.
Stone Harriman.
See, there are people named Stone, by the way, besides Stone Phillips.
Can you imagine naming your kid Stone?
Well, it depends if your other kid's name is Pebble.
Pebble.
I actually think it's a good-sounding name when you're older, but I don't know about being a kid with the name Stone.
Well, it depends.
I mean, if you look like Stone Phillips, then it's a good name, right?
Stone Phillips looks like it.
Stone Phillips, everybody.
You can imagine if my name was Stone, people would be like, you're a retard.
Stone.
Okay.
All right, and finally, $250 from our buddy, Ian Monroe of River Ridge, Louisiana.
One of these days, you're going to get his name right.
That's why he keeps donating.
He's like, please, call me Ian.
Ian!
Ian!
All right.
Ian, send us a note I have to read.
Oh, go ahead.
John and Adam, more money from me.
After a short debate at work, I played an episode...
For everyone, and I swear, you never saw so many eyes light up.
People heard...
By the way, we should give them an associate PR thing for this, too.
I sent you another associate PR thing in the mail.
I hope you got it.
Yeah, no, I sent you a note back and said I couldn't...
It was an email address, not a link I've been trying to find.
It was a drop.io link.
Thanks for reading my email, John.
People heard me...
Let me go back to the letter.
You never heard or saw so many eyes light up.
People heard me spout on and on about this No Agenda show.
But after I played an episode and let them nose through the No Agenda app on my iPhone, I thought you might get about six or so new listeners.
And he wants us to say hi to his dad, Bruce, who's obviously Bruce Monroe.
And he's sure he's listening to the stream actually live.
And I suppose he's probably in and around River Ridge, Louisiana, too.
Stone Sea Dvorak.
So I wonder where we.
I should go on Google Maps and see where River Ridge is.
Louisiana has a lot of interesting...
Louisiana is beautiful.
It is some of the most beautiful part of the country you can imagine.
It is fantastic.
It's got a lot of characters, too.
I just want to mention the iPhone app.
On the previous No Agenda, I was questioning where the donation was from our Pocket No Agenda app.
Which Adam Burkpile created.
And so the guy was like destroyed.
Destroyed.
Because essentially he's been waiting for the money to come through from Apple.
So apparently Apple is on a pretty slow cycle.
Oh, so Apple's a slow pay operation.
It seems like it's not very quick, yeah.
So mea culpa.
That's where they can make money on the interest.
Yeah.
And your point is?
He was destroyed.
I feel bad.
You should.
That's why you always jump the gun.
No, I didn't.
I said, I question.
I didn't accuse anyone.
I said, I question.
I haven't seen any money yet because the thing has been on the what's hot list for two weeks in a row.
I'm like, okay, so maybe we get some money by now.
Okay, that's okay.
I didn't jump the gun.
I'm a retard.
You know what, please?
On the street, feel free to call me a retard.
I have no problem with it.
Oh, I know you have no problem with it.
I've done it many a time.
I'm happy to be associated with people who are actually intellectually challenged.
No problem whatsoever.
Do you have any news this week?
Hold on a second.
I just want to say one more time, thank you very much.
Andrew Green, being this week's executive producer of No Agenda, episode 171, and officially now a night of the No Agenda Roundtable, associate executive producers Stone Harriman and Ian Monroe.
You can put that on your resume.
Even if you never show the resume to anyone, it does get you work.
It's been proven.
People who donate to the show get jobs.
Well, yeah, there's that, the karma thing, but the fact of the matter is these executive producer titles are real, and in fact, these three people paid for the show.
Yes, and you know what, John?
You can take that to the bank.
Yes.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, I got lots of news.
Wait a minute, let me get this straight.
Isn't that take that to the bank coming from a speech Obama gave where he said the first thing he's going to do when he gets to the president...
Oh, allow me to play it for you.
I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do.
I will get our troops home.
We will bring an end to this war.
You can take that to the bank.
You can take that to the bank.
He said it twice.
I heard it.
On your tape.
I heard it.
You know, that's funny that he said that because, you know, have you noticed that this actually hasn't occurred?
I'm still at the door of the bank.
I'm trying to get in.
Let me get in!
I want to take it to the bank!
Um...
Yeah, let me start off with, you know, what's interesting, and you can kind of tell where the times are, although we do have plenty of stuff that we really got a hit today.
We do have to reopen the climate gate briefly.
We have to talk a little bit about the crotch bomber, no doubt.
But there was something that showed up on MSNBC, and I want to play this clip for you, because this really shows you the scam that is TARP. When you see someone slamming the administration,
the treasury, and the Federal Reserve about this $700 billion, which is actually $23 trillion, Which has been basically stolen from us, the American people, and handed off to the banks, which of course is why they can hand out these hundreds of billions of...
Billions!
Please, that's a thousand million.
Hundreds of billions of dollars in bonuses.
But when MSNBC is talking about this, you either know it's so bad that even they can't hide it, or they have some reason for exposing it because they're pissed off about something.
Have you seen this clip, John?
Nope.
I want to go back for a second to the president and his olive branch.
I don't know if we still have that olive branch around here anywhere, but he has extended quite a few of them, particularly in that State of the Union speech.
He's offered up what he sees as some great...
So what you see here in the background is the...
I forget the guy's name from MSNBC. He's actually the kind of...
I think he's an ex-banker dude, a Wall Street guy.
He just rolled into television.
So on the big screen behind him, it says, The Big Tarp Lie.
And it's got some artwork there that looks like it could have been a cover art for No Agenda, actually.
You know, with the Federal Reserve and money flowing all over it and stuff.
Remember, this is MSNBC, which of course is part of the...
The president's propaganda machine, NBC. Yeah, General Electric owns them, and General Electric hopes to make up fortune-selling turbines for wind power, nukes, electric energy plants, jet engines, trains, full trains and tracks.
Yep, yep.
All right, let's listen to what he said.
To some of our most pressing problems, education, health care, we know the narratives.
And while the president talks about jobs, rightly so, and stimulus money, and getting our money back from the bankers, there's the olive branch, she's extending this.
As he has that conversation, and it's compelling, and you want to help him.
You want to help him fix the process.
You want to figure out a way to get rid of the influence of special interests, whether you're on the left or the right.
You know it's hurting our country.
But we fear that our president right now is like a man preparing to run a marathon, even with an olive branch, while ignoring the fact that he has a gigantic, I don't have a thorn prop, I'm sorry, a giant thorn in his foot.
I love the Grecian metaphor, by the way.
I think that's kind of interesting.
He pulled that in there.
...is the big tarp lie.
The president continues to say in public that banks have almost paid Americans back.
That is a lie.
The fact is, the TARP, which Congress approved, is only 2% of the trillions of dollars in free money being provided to our banks by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury.
The American people know this.
They know that they are subsidizing our banking sector.
And yet, the tarp lie continues to be spread by our politicians.
So that's about five minutes.
You can find the rest of it in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
And they had a nice pie chart.
It looked like blinis.
You know, that's the stuff you put your caviar on.
So they had a little tiny blini with 2%.
That's what the banks have paid back.
And then you have the $23.7 trillion dollars.
Which is a huge blini, looking like a big pancake.
And of course it's true.
In fact, I don't think I read this to you on the last show, Bloomberg.
Bloomberg is saying the same, I mean, it's amazing.
Everyone's just coming out and saying, hey, you know, we're all getting screwed here.
I don't know what to make of it.
Here it is.
This one cracked me up.
Maybe I did read this to you.
A secret banking cabal emerges from AIG shadows.
Did we talk about that on the last show?
I think you maybe teased it or you were going to talk about it.
I don't remember it.
I remember the story.
Well, this is Bloomberg.
It's from January 29th.
The reason why it caught my eye was the opening paragraph.
The idea of secret banking cabals who control the country and global economy are a given among conspiracy theorists who stockpile ammo, bottled water, and peanut butter.
After this week's congressional hearing of AIG, you have to wonder if those folks are crazy at all.
So, you know, essentially, everyone's...
Good journalists, and I feel that Bloomberg has quite a few.
In fact, the good ones usually drown in a pool of aspirin.
They can't even live with their own conscience.
They have to come out and say, hey, you know, this is what's really happening, even though they're supposed to be on board with the program.
I don't know.
I don't know where Bloomberg stands on anything.
I can't figure that guy out.
Well, but he's not really running it.
At least he's not supposed to be running it.
He runs the news agency.
He probably still is running it, no matter what anyone thinks.
I separate Bloomberg, the news agency, from Bloomberg, the mayor.
I don't so much.
And then the budget came out.
I don't even have to ask.
I know you haven't looked at it.
But I have.
And it's on whitehouse.gov slash OMB slash budget.
And I should look at it for what reason?
Because it's also your money that's being spent?
Is that a thought?
I'm just saying.
What money?
So they've split this up into like 20 PDFs so you can see each individual department.
And I just figured I'd bring up Homeland Security for you.
Because they have a big box at the beginning.
Funding highlights.
Number one, top of the list for Homeland Security.
The budget supports aviation security by deploying up to 1,000 advanced imaging technology screening machines that can identify anomalies such as firearms and explosives on passengers, and by increasing the number of international flights on which federal air marshals are present.
Well, that completely justifies our theory.
You will soon no longer have flight attendants.
You will have air marshals.
You will be served no drinks, no food.
You will be in your seat, sitting down quietly, with your hands folded on your lap.
Or cuffed.
Well, you'll probably have the Taser ID bracelet around your arm.
So if you get out of line, then the air marshal just zaps your button.
What is that, 26D? Oh, okay.
Whoops, I'm sorry, lady.
I have to pee!
But a thousand of those scanners, how many airports do we have, major airports?
250 in the U.S.? I don't know.
Yeah, I think it's 250.
They can't be putting them in every airport.
What they're going to have to do, they can't obviously put them in the little regional airports that fly in.
No, but it's not about that.
It's about the big airports where you can fuck with people.
Yeah, you want to do it, yeah.
Well, you know, like my son said last time he's flying, he says, you know, this is so dangerous.
You know, the lines now, because they've slowed things down, they're going outside.
There's big groups of people.
They're forming huge piles of people.
Now, why doesn't the guy just, you know, I mean, it's obvious.
Everybody's talking about this.
They talk about it, and people are wondering.
TSA has no answer to it.
What is to prevent a car bomber guy to fill a truck full of explosives?
Nothing.
And blow up the people standing in line.
Right.
Or how about one of these trains?
Or how about the bus station?
Or how about the mall?
Or, you know, all these other places.
Now, of course...
Actually, I looked at Dvorak.org to make...
I was amazed that you hadn't blogged this.
I can't believe it.
This is...
Blogged what?
Well, listen...
London.
Dateline.
Agents for Britain's MI5 intelligence service have discovered Muslim doctors trained at some of Britain's leading teaching hospitals have returned to their own countries to fit surgical implants filled with explosives.
That's being blogged as soon as the show's over.
Women suicide bombers recruited by Al-Qaeda Are known to have had the explosives inserted in their breasts under techniques similar to breast enhancing surgery.
The lethal explosives, usually PETN, of course, never heard of this before, are inserted during the operation inside the plastic shapes.
The breast is then sewn up.
Similar surgery has been performed on male suicide bombers.
In their cases, the explosives are inserted in the appendix area or in the buttock.
Both are parts of the body that diabetics use to inject themselves with their prescribed drugs.
So, of course, you'll have your insulin injection, which, of course, really contains the ignition device, and you'll be on the plane, and you'll jam it in your ass and blow it all sky high!
So I guess now when you say, hey, that babe's got dynamite boobs, you ain't kidding.
But how amazing is that?
MI5, of course, is Gitmo Nation East's version of the CIA. This sounds like a crock of crap.
Where are all these bombers anyway?
Well, of course it's a crock of crap.
Where are all the bombers?
I mean, how come they're not bombing left and right?
They're hot-looking chicks, man.
What are you talking about?
Okay.
Before we get to the clip, I'm sure you're going to roll out a clip.
I just want you to know, this is what...
Crap, I've got to find it real quick.
During those congressional hearings about security, they had them all sitting there in a row.
Did you see this?
That's the clip I got.
Oh, okay.
Good.
Hello?
Oh, the homeland attack?
Got it.
Duh.
Perfect segue.
Well, there's two things about this clip.
This is Feinstein asking a bunch of intelligence heads of different intelligence agencies and generals and whatever, what's the likelihood of a massive attack on the U.S. within the next, you know...
Six months.
Six months is what she said.
And they said this, but I got a completely different, interesting kind of a thing that we've...
I'm actually annoyed that I'm going to reveal a meme that we weren't really onto earlier.
Go on.
For intelligence, to the head of the CIA, they were all in agreement.
Listen.
What is the likelihood of another terrorist attempted attack on the U.S. homeland in the next three to six months?
High or low?
Director Blair?
An attempted attack, the priority is certain, I would say.
Mr.
Panetta?
I would agree with that.
Mr.
Mueller?
Agree.
General Burgess?
Yes, ma'am.
Agree.
Mr.
Dinger?
Yes.
Just chilling to hell, but hear those words.
Meanwhile, we...
InstantRimShot.com, John.
InstantRimShot.
Okay, so they go down the line.
I agree.
Oh, yeah, sure.
I miss, like, Snoop Dogg.
Fo' shizzle, biatch!
You know that's gonna be that shit!
Jay-Z. So here's the thing that I realized that we should have to be rethinking.
Why doesn't she say, are we going to have an attack on America?
Do you think we're going to have an attack on the U.S.? Do you think we're going to have an attack in New York?
No, it's an attack on the homeland.
And they use the word homeland in this regard.
Instead of attack on America, attack on the U.S., What does this imply if you have a homeland?
A homeland implies that you're part of an empire and that you're away from the homeland, but you're always still in the empire.
So we have to go back to the homeland.
And this homeland thing has become this incredible meme that's allowing us to actually think that the United States of America is a homeland.
In the sense of an empire.
We're the United States of America.
We're not the homeland.
This is like the fatherland.
It detaches us from our own country, to use this word.
And the fact that we have homeland security and all the rest of it, I think, is an extremely negative thing.
And the fact that she would use it in this context tells me that she's completely out of it.
Well, not only that, it is complete neural programming The last time the word homeland was used in this context was in German as the Hinterland, which was what Hitler called Germany.
Hinterland is literally homeland.
It is the exact same word.
So I'll just make it even more evil for you.
Okay, good work.
No, but seriously.
I mean, here she is in front of these guys going, do you expect to see an attack on the homeland?
Yeah.
I mean, that's what actually got me to thinking about the usage here.
She doesn't say, do you expect to see an attack on the United States of America or an attack on America?
No, it's an attack on the homeland.
Yeah.
I mean, this is really very sinister to be, and she's playing right into it, of course.
Oh, yes, here's our homeland.
When are we going to come back?
When are you going to fly to England and come back and say, welcome back to the homeland, sir?
Well, no, they'll be saying that at customs in the U.S. Welcome back to the homeland, Mr.
Curry.
Enjoy your shopping experience.
No, it is completely sinister.
The whole idea of homeland security, which was set up by Bush, by the way.
Oh, yeah.
Of course, his grandfather, Prescott Bush, financed the Nazis.
I'll go as far as to say they've got some Nazi tendencies, the N-word.
The whole idea of homeland is exactly that.
It's to feel like you're a Reich.
Right.
Well, anyway, I found it annoying.
No, it's beyond annoying, and the question was leading.
Instead of saying, do you feel that we're in any danger?
I mean, if you have these guys sitting there, why don't you say, tell me, what do you think the danger is, and where, and in what time frame?
Instead of that, I'm reading the script here, and it says, well, we've got to have another exploding rack chick.
We've got to feel up all their breasts.
Yeah, six months is the time frame.
Do you think that'll happen in six months?
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
Seriously, I'm going to re-edit that.
I'm going to put Snoop Dogg in there.
I'm going to put Jay-Z in.
I'm going to put David Letterman in.
Besides that being a leading question, it's almost like one of those questions that pollsters ask.
It lists a certain type of answer.
What are they going to say?
No.
Then they're going to invite, well, when?
Yeah, because if you say no and it happens, then you're fired.
Then you're a D-word.
So the thing, so, but what if she had said, asked an open-ended question, says, like, for example, change the question, do you think there's going to be an incident within the next six months, too?
Do you think we can go 10 years without an incident?
Yeah, there's an idea.
There's a question.
What would they say?
You say, yeah, it's possible.
That's a lot different in effect than having this other answer.
She could have done that, but she didn't.
She has to talk about the homeland.
By the way, this woman is an idiot.
She used to be in the air pollution control district on the board there, the kangaroo court board they used to run.
And she was one of the advisors to the thing when she was a city councilwoman.
She never would have been anywhere in politics if somebody hadn't assassinated the mayor, George Moscone, and she took the job over and then warmed her way.
We had a situation in the air pollution industry where the files in the file room were all the cases were kept in one room in folders.
This is when you were working for the...
Inspectors would routinely wander in and grab the folders, leave them at their desk.
They wouldn't check them out properly and there was all these missing folders.
So they decided the people, the women that worked in there who had to keep track of the stuff, they decided to put big chains across the doorway to keep people from wandering in and out.
And Feinstein walks through the place one day, looks at the chains, and she makes the immediate assumption that it's got something to do with the women.
And she says, why are they locking those women in that room like that?
This is unacceptable.
And a big stink ensues.
That's how stupid she is.
Can I just say she's a retard?
Well, you know what, the reason why all these guys know something is going to happen is spelled out perfectly by the Detroit News, which has done some great work completely disseminating a lot of the C-SPAN footage.
And I'm not going to play it for you, but it's all in the show notes at NoAgendaShow.com under the Crotch Bomber heading.
There's this whole issue of revocation of the visas.
And during this testimony, because they actually did what we're doing, this Nathan Hurst, who did a great job Listen closely to Patrick F. Kennedy's testimony as Undersecretary for Management at the State Department, or at least not that I can find directly related to the Kennedy's.
The reason why Abdul Maltalab's visa wasn't taken away is because intelligent officials asked his agency not to deny a visa, Because they wanted to foil a larger investigation into Al-Qaeda threats against the United States.
Which, of course, completely explains the sharp-dressed man, as we call him, who was with the crotch bomber as he was getting on board.
They knew it.
They knew that he was bad news.
I don't think they necessarily knew about the crotch bomb, but take into account that the security footage from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, which is full of cameras, has still not been released.
Because they know.
It's like they knew this guy was no good, and they were following because they thought that they could get something bigger.
So now they've got all kinds of Al-Qaeda chickies who've got dynamite racks, and then they're just going to let them on the planes.
So it's a setup.
So they know that something will happen.
It doesn't necessarily mean a catastrophic event, but will some air travel be in jeopardy?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, well, they need to do one more thing to ensure that they run these stupid scanners on people.
Well, it's already in the budget.
It doesn't even matter.
They're going to have a thousand of them.
It's paid for.
It's done.
It's in.
Yeah, but people are going to be moaning and groaning about it.
Well, guess what?
In Gitmo Nation East...
No scan, no flight at Heathrow and Manchester Airport.
It is now mandatory.
If you don't want to get scanned, you will not get on the airplane.
Done.
That's it.
That's it.
Well, that sucks.
The picture on this BBC News article, it looks kind of like you going through the scanner.
It's kind of how I imagine.
Do you have a big schwanz?
No, it's kind of one of those, like, you have big testicles and kind of like a little wormy thing.
But there's also a butt shot, and it's kind of the way I think your butt looks naked.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Well formed, very shapely, muscular.
Yeah.
Where's instantrimshot.com when you need it?
Can you crack a walnut?
Yeah.
It's more like cottage cheese is what I'm thinking.
No, no.
I haven't got any of that problem.
That I can assure you.
Nice.
Alright, we got other stuff here.
Yeah, please move on.
Anyway, we're screwed.
You'll be scanned at airports.
Take the train.
It's good for you.
No security lines at the train, says General Electric.
So, I talked to you about this.
I'm not going to get both these clips.
I got one.
Another one came up.
The same thing that's going on.
And I'm not going to belabor this because I know how much you hate this topic.
Oh, let me guess.
Keith Olbermann?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I hate talking about those D-bags.
Olbermann is like completely insane.
He's talking in non sequiturs.
He's saying things that make no sense.
He did a thing against John McCain, where I swear to God, he plays McCain berating some general for trying to change the no ask, no tell.
And McCain says, you know, the generals of the army people told me that it's working fine.
We shouldn't change anything if that's what they say.
And then Oberman comes on and says, no, this is a complete contradiction of what he said on this very network six months ago.
A complete contradiction.
And he plays another clip and he says basically the exact same thing.
There's no contradiction.
Well, the funny thing about all of this is that...
You know, so the president in his State of the Union, I think he kind of surprised the generals who were standing there saying, hey, we're going to get rid of this, don't ask, don't tell.
It was like, what?
I thought we already got rid of that.
What are you talking about?
Don't do that.
It's confusing us.
Yeah, so now they say, well, okay, that's alright.
You know what?
We're going to do a study.
And it will take a year.
It's like, how hard can it be?
You know, it's like, what is the...
It's like, they've been talking about this.
When did Clinton put this in?
93?
I don't know.
I mean, all I know is that the fact is they could...
When they need a study, all they do is ask around...
Yeah, really.
What is your position on it, John?
I don't know.
I don't have a position on it one way or the other.
I don't care.
I mean, let's face it, Alexander the Great's Army was all gay.
Oh, really?
Yeah, pretty much.
Alexander the Great's Army was notoriously gay, so the rape scenes must have been very interesting.
They beat up a bunch of people.
Well, wait a minute.
How do you know this?
This is a fairly well-known fact.
Just study it.
Go read it.
I mean, you can read it.
Actually, Gibbons doesn't discuss it, but it's discussed on the History Channel.
Anyway.
Okay.
They're basically all gay and they're all loaded on opium.
Ecstasy.
They're all on E. So wait a minute.
So there's a bunch of hype-type gay guys.
That's why they're uniform.
They had awesome-looking outfits.
That does explain a lot.
They had all those feathers and stuff.
Is that it?
Anyway, the point is you don't have to be straight or gay to be a good soldier.
Exactly.
Exactly.
But let me get back on the track.
Which was talking about Oberman being kind of nutty.
And actually, my son was interested in telling me that the younger people used to like Oberman.
Nobody watches him anymore because they can't take him because he's not funny anymore.
When he started doing his show, he was actually humorous.
Now he's just mean.
Well, isn't his history, wasn't he a comedian?
I don't know who he was.
Sports guy?
Sports guy.
For telling the management to stuff it.
But anyway, let me finish where I was headed for it.
His protege is Rachel Maddow.
And she is now at the point where the two of them, I guess, must hang out because their mannerisms are almost identical.
So, and the way they, in tone, everything is very similar.
So anyway, so Maddow's gotten onto this kind of the same trend line of putting out weird, non-sequitur material.
And I want to play this Rachel Maddow clip, which is, and I'm going to explain what it is.
She's got this new bit that she's dreamed of, where she has some Republicans, always a Republican, saying something.
R-word.
And then the R word, some Republican coming on, and then right at the end of their statement, she has a big, giant rubber stamp looking thing that hits the screen, turns the screen to black and white, and then the word wrong comes out.
Wrong!
But the thing is, what they're saying wrong about, and I've got this clip that has two examples, it's like, it would go like this.
So, Adam, what are you going to have for dinner tomorrow?
I don't know.
We haven't made up our minds yet.
Wrong!
Wrong!
It's not like a right or wrong thing I asked.
I'm watching this going, what's wrong?
They had the best example, which would be the second one coming up.
Lindsey Graham and some other guy are talking about when they were lawyers.
When I was a lawyer, we wouldn't have let this happen.
We would have probably told the guy not to talk at all and just keep his mouth shut.
Wrong!
Play this and tell me what I'm missing here.
What's wrong with this woman?
Thirdly, they point out, even ignoring all of the precedents under the Bush administration, where they did proceed in the same exact fashion, the fact is that he would have been accorded an attorney because he was arrested in the United States.
So even if they had proceeded under military procedures, he would have had a lawyer who would have been telling him, if not the Miranda rights, not to talk.
Don't they have a point there?
You've asked me about six different questions in repeating the allegations that the White House has made.
Look, the military detainee and trial system provides much more flexibility and would have allowed him to be questioned without a lawyer telling him what to reveal and what to conceal.
Wrong.
Oh my god.
She didn't even say anything.
Yeah, now let's finish on.
It's just unbelievable.
Wrong.
Andrea Mitchell just said that was wrong.
Just ignoring all the evidence of your complete and total wrongness does not make you less wrong.
Senator Collins, for all of her astounding wrongness on this issue, is not the only Republican tripping and falling into the wrong in this political battle over the attempted Christmas Day bombing.
Here, for example, South Carolina's Lindsey Graham, along with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren.
And the two of them, I will warn you in advance, here are just plain making things up.
Well, the interesting thing is my prior life as a criminal defense lawyer, and so my look at this, either he got himself a deal right up front, a good deal, or he's got a lousy lawyer.
And I understand his lawyer's good, so he must have gotten some deal.
Yeah, I used to be a military lawyer, a defense lawyer.
I used to be a defense lawyer in the civilian world.
Yeah, I wouldn't let my guy talk until I knew it was to his benefit.
Wrong!
Wrong?
What is wrong?
What did he say that was wrong?
I used to be a lawyer.
I wouldn't let my client talk.
Wrong!
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded to this particular reckless speculation in a statement today, saying in part, quote, Abdul Muttalib has not been offered anything.
The Department of Justice will take his cooperation into consideration.
So she believes what Gibbs says?
Is that what I'm...
Yeah.
Let me re-state what happened.
The guy from Fox said, well, I used to be a defense attorney, and this guy's got a good lawyer, so I have to assume that the only reason this is going this way is because they probably made a deal.
And then Graham says, yeah, I used to be in the army, and I used to be an attorney there, and if it was me, I would either tell the guy to shut up unless they made a deal.
So that's not wrong.
That's a speculation.
But of course, Maddow has it as wrong and a wild, crazy speculation that's somehow harmful.
And then Gibbs, who doesn't really know what the hell's going on, makes some comment.
And so she backs him up.
This woman has gone so far off the tracks that it's, I mean, her and Oberyn together, that I don't know that they have any numbers at all anymore.
Because you watch this, and your jaw drops.
It's like, what is she doing?
Honking a horn, putting a wrong thing on.
The guy's just making casual conversation.
How is casual conversation wrong?
Wrongness.
It's mind control, John.
But nobody's listening, watching this stuff anymore, except me.
We should look at the ratings.
I'm sure someone's watching.
I'm sure someone's watching.
But I find it to be, it's like, wow, this is plain terrible.
They're not digging anything up.
They've resorted to, you know, these are the measures that they have to go to because no one is listening anymore, so maybe if we throw a big rubber stamp at your face in the screen, maybe you'll pay attention.
Wrong!
Oh, they must be wrong.
And it's not hard to control people's opinions on television.
Or through television.
It's just not hard.
By the way...
I mean, if it wasn't just non-sequiturs, it wouldn't be such a...
I don't see how it's effective.
No, it's training just to get you accustomed to being wrong.
Whatever.
But anyway, I just find these two to be just hitting the skids.
You know, it's like, but officer, I think I was doing 45.
Wrong!
I think I paid my taxes.
Wrong!
You know, the IRS has commissioned some shotguns.
Did you hear about that?
No.
Yeah, they compare it as under Federal Business Opportunities.
Which is where you can, at fedbizops.gov.
I love that.
The Internal Revenue Service intends to purchase Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC Serial 24587 12-gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division.
The Remington Parkerized shotguns with 14-inch barrel-modified Choke Wilson Combat Ghost Ring Rear Sight and XS-4 Contour Bead Front Sight, Knox Reduced Recoil Adjustable Stock and Speed Feed Ribbed Black Forend, are designated as the only shotguns authorized by the IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS existing shotgun inventory.
So we can put a bid in, John.
Yeah, well, if you haven't made shotguns, I would.
But the IRS, I mean, okay.
We may cheat on our taxes from time to time, but isn't the shotgun a bit...
I mean, there's such a thing as wage garnishing.
That usually gets people's attention.
Yeah, wage garnishing works.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
It's like, you're wrong.
You're wrong.
It's like, huh?
That's a little frightening.
Yeah, well...
They've got shotguns.
2300 years ago, men in Greece had wives, mistresses, and lovers of either gender.
Alexander's father, Philip of Macedon, had male lovers and also many wives.
A problem went...
So, that's weird.
When did that all change?
It all changed.
When did we stop having lovers on both sides?
That sounds like a beautiful time.
Yeah, it sounds like it's you.
No, I mean, seriously, it was just nothing but love.
I've heard about these things.
So, let's see.
You're a homophobe.
I want you to go into the swine flu, because I have kind of a follow-up.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, we have to remind ourselves to follow up on some things, because we're so ahead of the curve often on many of these topics that by the time everyone gets around to knowing that it's a hoax, a scam, and a rip-off, and just plain eh, wrong, we're already moved on to the next scam, and we forget to take, you know, I don't need credit for us being right, but hey, you know...
I think we caught it right at the very beginning, you called it immediately.
And then when we got to the adjuvant testing and all the rest of it, it just all added up to being just a big phony scam.
And then when I saw Margaret Chan or Cho, whatever the hell her name is.
Chan.
Chan.
Cho is a comedian.
Who's an obvious moron.
Of the World Health Organization.
I realized that there's something phony baloney going on here.
Okay, so what you got?
Well...
I think you also stumbled onto another thing early on, which nobody has yet to pick up on, which is the vaccine.
Oh, the fact that there's vaccines coming for everything, for cocaine addiction, for cigarette addiction, although that's now in the form of Chantix.
It's going to be for rotovirus.
I mean, the whole pipeline of these pharmaceutical companies is filled with vaccines because there is no rigorous testing process.
And it's much better to give people drugs when they're not actually sick.
And you can make a lot of dough.
So we have a couple clips here that are funny in their own right.
Because they're from NCIS Los Angeles, which is some of the worst television, especially for people who are fans of NCIS, which is a character-driven drama.
NCIS Los Angeles is just laughable.
But it's apparently doing okay.
It's a big flick with a black guy and a white guy, and they're out solving crimes.
It's almost like a cop movie.
But they slip in all kinds of interesting propaganda.
Is this another Dick Wolf production?
No, no, this is done by another group altogether.
But play Mossad NCIS clip, but I'm going to remind you that it's like, it's almost door-to-door subtle propaganda that's slipped into the script.
A Caribbean getaway.
We do know some Mossad agents that would gladly buy you an all-expense-paid trip to Tel Aviv.
Can you say shalom?
Okay.
There is a rumor that the Dutchman is auctioning off the box.
Oh, wow.
The Dutchman?
The Dutchman, yeah.
Wow.
So they've got the flying Dutchman who was on board with the crotch bomber.
Okay, got that.
I'm about to line them, Toxin.
Where?
I don't know.
You've come a long way to know where you're going.
I didn't say I was here for the auction.
I said I heard rumors of it.
I also heard of a rendezvous point.
I imagine it could be some place where a would-be-bitter could be picked up and taken to the proceedings.
Do you ever meet the Dutchman?
No, I told you.
Yeah, you know what?
We got it.
We want an address, we want code words, and we want everything else you've heard rumors about.
What if the Dutchman seen pictures of Ambit Swan?
He must have screened these guys.
I'll go in as his muscle.
I'm going to review the files, learn the history.
His associates know it cold.
I don't like this.
I don't either, but the auction's today.
We don't have time to plan anything else.
Besides, I'm the only one who's been vaccinated for botulism.
Seals are inoculated for everything, except suicidal tendencies.
And he knows I'm right, or else he'd argue to go instead of me.
I don't want either one.
Yeah, wow.
Okay, I've been vaccinated for botulism, so I was watching this with JC and he looks it up immediately because there's no such...
Botox!
There's no such vaccination for botulism.
There's an experimental drug that may have some future use as a vaccine, but there's no way that there's anything out there.
No, but it's coming.
You know it's coming.
The propaganda is the vaccine.
Just get a vaccine.
They always come in handy.
The Dutch, somehow, are bad people.
Mossad will kick your ass because they're all totally corrupt, and if they get a hold of you, they're going to kill you.
And the Navy SEALs, by the way, have been vaccinated for everything.
For everything, yeah.
The SEALs have gotten...
The Navy SEALs are a meme now that, you know, and I don't know how many Navy SEALs we have in our listenership, probably one.
We only have a couple, maybe.
But, you know, Jesse Ventura plays this up to an extreme, you know, and he's in his, when he does his show, he's a Navy SEAL and, you know, the tough guys.
And, you know, they're made, they're now memed out as, you know, the James, you know, kind of a crude James Bond type.
I don't know, whatever happened to the Green Berets or the Rangers or those guys, they don't get any love at all.
No love.
They're wrong.
The SEALs are inoculated for everything.
They repeats it.
SEALs are inoculated for everything.
Except suicidal tendencies.
And he knows I'm right or else he'd argue to go instead of me.
I don't want either one of you to go.
Nate, relax.
Sam's the best man for this job.
Besides, what's the worst thing that could happen?
Oh, I don't know.
Let's see.
Sam gets made, they kill him, then you, Kenzen, and the others storm the place, and the Dutchman releases the toxin, killing all of you in half of Los Angeles?
Which half?
I'm going to breach the director.
Wow.
So there's your bioterror.
You have any shots, right?
You got your boosters, right?
Did you get your shots?
Yep.
Did you get your booster shots?
Shots.
Yeah, I know.
So apparently there's not only a vaccine for biologicalism, but there's boosters that you need.
So in other words, this has been going on for years, so you wouldn't need boosters.
So this is just an out-and-out lie.
Now, the fact of the matter is I don't mind that kind of thing if these shows are portrayed as what they apparently are, which is science fiction.
They're not.
They're portrayed as a cop drama.
And I find it very offensive that they would have misinformation, so much misinformation in these scripts.
No spray vaccine against botulism effective in first tests.
Vaccine development for...
Does your kid know how to Google?
Hey, Google, that's what we have.
Those are tests.
Yeah, well, of course.
How do you have your shot and then get boosters when they're still in the first stage of testing?
It doesn't make any sense.
No, of course it does, because it's science fiction.
It's a setup for the vaccines that are coming.
That seems very clear to me, John.
And by the way, why the hell would anybody need a botulism vaccine for?
Because...
If you're opening up a can of tuna and the thing's about to blow up, don't eat it!
But that's...
That's what my mom always used to say.
If there's like a bubble on the can, just throw it out.
Don't eat it because it's got botulism.
It'll kill you.
Don't eat that.
But this is what it is.
How many botulism cases are there?
How many fatal botulism incidents are there a year in the USA? Okay, annual botulism cases in USA. There are three kinds.
Management problems cited in botulism case.
Interesting.
30 cases.
Here we go.
Here it is.
Food-borne botulism is so rare, only about 30 cases are reported in the U.S. each year.
Almost all from home canned foods.
There you go.
There's your answer.
There you have it.
What do we need a vaccine for?
There's a new drug out, though.
Which I saw advertised on...
Where was it?
I think it was on Fox.
And it wasn't a vaccine.
I'm obviously stalling until the pre-roll...
Until the pre-roll goes...
Is done.
I hate...
You know, when we're doing this show, we shouldn't have pre-rolls.
There should be some way of killing them.
Yeah, there should be...
Oh, here it is.
Do you sometimes feel irritable, restless, uneasy, sad, normal, or just plain not high?
Maybe it's time to try crack.
Crack may cause shivers, night terrors, gay for pay, heart palpitations, homicidal paranoia, or the sensation that you're on fire.
Peeing blood and seeing friends' faces as talking skeletons are possible side effects of crack.
People who use crack may also experience five to seven years in prison where brutal raping may occur.
If you experience one or more of these side effects, consult your dealer.
You may need more crack.
Crack.
Isn't it time you see what all the fuss is about?
I like that.
Consult your dealer.
You may need more crack.
The funny thing, of course, you've got the dog barking in the background and the music.
Yeah, they nailed it.
No rooster crow, though.
You need a rooster crow, folks, if you're going to do these things.
Yeah, if you're going to have an effective drug commercial.
Absolutely.
Hey, John, we're way overdue here to talk about the financing for this program that we do twice a week.
No one's really complaining about it, but it seems like we're now...
At about two hours a pop.
So, in effect, we've almost kind of magically moved towards that third show, just time-wise, because we have so much we want to talk about that we have to kind of cram it all into...
Chatty.
Well, yeah.
Let's thank the people who did give us some money and some support this week.
And, of course, we'll begin with the Stone Harriman and...
Ian Monroe, and of course...
Our brand new knight, Andrew Green.
Andrew Green, our new knight.
We also got $170 from Fred Lust in McCutcheonville, Ohio.
He sent no note, which is fine.
And we got two in a row, two 99.99s in a row.
John Lewis is an existing monthly subscriber, which we encourage everyone to be.
This contribution is to prove Adam right and help get the third show up.
As I was born on the 3rd of March in a year ending in three, I kind of felt obliged.
So here's three times three, 33.33.
Tell Adam to cut down on the smoking.
We need you guys healthy.
And then curiously, within the same timeframe, like within an hour, Joseph Lamb in Eureka gave $99.99 with no real mathematical explanation, but he told us we should talk about wine more, which I have no objection to.
Before you continue, just on the smoking tip, Robert Frapple says, Hi Adam, here's an idea.
Get producers, that's you listeners out there, who smoke cigarettes to start rolling their own cigarettes.
And use some of the savings for a no-agenda subscription.
And here's this calculation.
Decent rolling machine is about $25, although you can learn how to roll yourself.
A pound of, quote, pipe tobacco, to avoid the tax, and two cartons of filtered tubes costs $25.
This is actually not rolling it in papers, but in the pre-rolled papers.
That saves about $4 a pack, $1,400 a year for a pack-a-day smoker.
NIDA says over 24% of Americans smoke, 20% of an audience of $100,000 times $5 a month is over a million a year for no agenda.
That's a lot of hookers and blow.
I think it's a good idea.
There's probably something to be said for rolling your own because the tobacco quality has to be superior to the chemically soaked commercial product.
Formaldehyde, etc.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So, you know, if you're going to smoke...
You might as well roll your own.
Then we got $100 from M-A-N-O-J Manaj Kumar, who is in Bangalore.
I don't think we have that many Indian listeners, but I'm glad he is.
I don't know if I got his name pronounced wrong, I don't know.
$131.10 for Stan Salisbury in Stone Mountain, which is a coincidence.
We had a guy named Stone Harriman.
Coincidence?
I think not!
Stone Mountain, Georgia.
And then a slew of $50 donors, including Matthew Wittering, Bedfordshire.
Dean Chartier in Canada, Calgary.
He's canceled the cable and we'll be sending that money to No Agenda.
Not wanting to be the No Agenda Witness Protection Program.
You may use my name on the show.
Bring on the service.
Dean Chartier, Calgary.
Alan Bowes.
Langley, but Langley, British Columbia.
Oh, good.
He's leaving business cards around.
I have to get a hold of him and see what he's up to with that.
In other words, stickers, which we've advised people to do.
Andrew Sawyer, Vancouver, B.C., another Canadian, which is unusual.
Cannon Research at Blythe, California.
Brian Leslie at Bremerton.
He gave us the 333, but I thought it was interesting that he said we should be pushing the 3333 all over the place, which might be true.
And people are loving this.
Vincent Dunstan in Keraville, New South Wales.
He says, a bunch of bad news from Australia has compelled me to donate again.
Jason Carney of Columbus, Ohio.
And he's a contractor that has a lot of good stuff.
We want to know about government contracts.
He's the guy.
And finally, Bill Gress.
5555 from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Which is, you know, kept us going this week.
And what we'd like you all to do is, and of course we appreciate every donation, large and small.
No matter what, please consider also signing up to one of our monthly subscriptions.
I think we have $5 a month, $10 a month, and $30 a month.
The lucky 30.
The lucky 30.
It really is important because that will eventually give us a base that we can draw from.
It's not very large right now.
But we do want to keep going and we are really trying to move towards that lucky number 3 show in the week.
I just got a sound clip in, John.
Hold on a second.
That's the noragendashow.com, dvorak.org slash N-A and channeldvorak.com slash N-A is where you want to go.
I also want to encourage people to at least design some stickers and put them on the toll booths at the...
At the toll plazas.
Toll plazas where they have all these stickers.
Perfect timing.
Did you hear Mickey's phone goes?
She's perfect.
Yeah, that was great.
We need more phones ringing.
We need some phone sound effects so we sound like, you know...
Isn't that cute?
But it's wrong!
Sorry.
Boy.
Anyway, if you can get some...
And take a look at the stickers that are on the toll booth.
Do a little study.
You drive the toll booth.
Look at the ones that are eye-catching and clone those.
Yeah.
And we want to say noagendashow.com on the sticker somewhere.
And it should say donate.
Donate.
That might be nice.
Donate to NoAgendaShow.com.
Save a life.
We've saved a couple on this show.
Save a life of your own.
Yeah, we have saved a couple of lives on this show.
I'm very proud of that.
Anyway, like I said, NoAgendaShow.com.
But help us out.
We got our three executive producers this week, but that's just for now.
Yeah, we really need like 30 executive producers each week.
And by the way, I would love to spend the first part of the show thanking 30 executive producers.
That would be so nice.
Okay, so...
Let me just, you know, we had such a good time the other day with looking at Bush and Clinton as they were named by the President of the United States as the guys who were going to take all your money and fix Haiti.
And of course, during that, President Bush said these legendary words...
Shysters show up and take advantage of people's goodwill and generosity.
I still show up.
I still show up.
But wait, there's more, John.
I think it's from the same day, not necessarily the same interview.
Remember now that the ClintonBushForHaiti.org fund...
It's not actually a fund.
It does not exist.
They're putting your money into the William Jefferson Clinton Fund and Bush's Texas Fund.
Collectively, they already hold a billion dollars in assets.
The payroll for the Clinton Foundation is $30 million a year.
Yeah.
And we've gotten more than a few emails from people just freaking out over that.
So remember now, we want your money for Haiti.
Just for Haiti.
And President Obama himself appointed two former presidents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, to oversee the total U.S. rescue effort.
Clinton and Bush both made it clear what Haiti needs most, namely cash.
Now right now, all we need from people, if you can't be part of a medical team or a search and rescue team, we just need cash.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
Bush is amazing.
Bush is like a shyster.
By the way, before we finish the plea, I forgot to mention one name.
Okay.
Which is Peter Niesink.
Did you say Peter Niesink?
Yeah, Peter Niesink gave us $55.
He's from the Netherlands, and he challenged me to pronounce his name correctly.
How do you spell it correctly?
I'm going to ask you objectively.
Yeah, spell the name so I know for sure.
P-I-E-T-E-R N-I-E-S-S-I-N-K Say it again.
Peter Niesink.
Perfect.
Perfect.
All right.
Peter, thank you very much for your donation.
And remember, folks...
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
Just send your cash.
We need cash.
Send your cash.
That guy is an idiot.
Unbelievable.
Just send your cash.
All we want is your cash.
There's a lot of amazing news about Haiti.
President Clinton has now been named officially by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon of the United Nations to oversee the aid efforts in Haiti.
He's a special envoy for the UN anyway, so he might as well.
But he's now been...
And there's a little picture of them, and they're shaking hands, and he is...
His responsibility...
For earthquake ravaged Haiti, charging him with overseeing aid efforts as well as reconstruction.
That's right.
Assume a leadership role in coordinating international aid efforts, such as...
Hopefully you saw this one, John.
Such as the Scientologists who were in Haiti.
Did you see this?
No, tell me.
Oh my God, this is amazing.
So, uh...
The word is, oh, we can't get any planes in.
Doctors Without Borders are being turned away.
And no, here were...
This is actually from Gawker, which blew me away.
So this is...
Here he is.
This is a group of Scientologists who are all wearing yellow shirts...
That says Scientology volunteer minister.
They got into Haiti somehow wearing cowboy boots and cowboy hats and stuff.
And they're in the hospitals giving people healing massages.
There's people with arms and legs chopped off.
And they're giving them healing massages.
They'd leave the tent, come into the general hospital downtown and try healing people.
One of the doctors and one of the nurses told me that the wounded starting up to them to tell them they didn't want to be treated by the people in the yellow shirts.
Keep them away from me.
One nurse told me the Scientologists actually caused harm.
They gave food to people who were scheduled to go into surgery, which led to complications in the operating theater.
So it's unbelievable that these Scientologists, with all their rich connections, were able to get into Haiti, and they're just in the way, giving people healing massages with these crazy, kooky, yellow t-shirts, with the big letters, Scientology Volunteer Minister.
Well, the scandal here is the fact that the other people are being turned directly away.
Of course it is.
Of course it is.
And Clinton, of course, is probably flying in and out.
And by the way, did we talk about it on the show or we talked about it offline, about the length of that runway and the fact that anything...
I mean, a C5A galaxy could land at that airport.
Well, hold on, hold on.
Actually, that would be the clip from...
I already removed it.
The clip from last week.
It was a Bush clip.
Sorry, a Clinton clip.
I got it for you here.
He's talking about the airport...
At MTPP, which is Port-au-Prince Airport.
Here it is.
They've done a good job.
The government of Haiti has asked the United States to manage the flow at the airport.
While there are 800 to 1,000 planes that are trying to land there, you should know that on the day before the earthquake, only 10 or 12 planes landed at the Port-au-Prince Airport.
Now they land more than 100 every day on basically what is a big one-lane airport.
You know, it's like he makes it sound like it's a dirt road.
It's 10,000 feet, which is enough to land an Antonov.
Yeah, it won't take 225.
An Antonov 225, the biggest plane in the world with six engines, needs 11,000 feet.
Oh, and by the way, by the way, there's only one Antonov 225 that's ever been manufactured, and God knows where it is.
He would just go to Google Earth and type in Port-au-Prince Airport.
It's not a small airport.
And there's plenty of room to park planes.
It's not ideal for rescue operations, no doubt about it.
But he makes it sound like, ooh, this little puny...
I mean, look, LaGuardia only has two runways.
Heathrow only has two runways.
You know, it's not like incredibly small.
It's not some dirt road.
So it's just more posturing.
We were misled by the media about that.
No, you don't say.
And then here's something really kind of crazy.
The Dutchman.
The Dutchman.
There's...
Let me see if I have this audio.
So the ham radio operators are all over what's going on.
And there's this plane.
Here it is.
Commando Solo.
Have you heard of this?
Commando Solo?
No.
So Commando Solo is...
It's an airplane.
It's a C-130, I believe.
Available to commanders for localizing targeting of specific avenues of communication.
Commando Solo conducts psychological operation and civilian affairs broadcast missions in the standard AM, FM, HF, TV, and military communications bands.
Missions are flown at the maximum altitudes possible to ensure optimum propagation patterns.
These modified C-130Es provide broadcasting capabilities primarily for psychological operation missions.
So they've got these things flying over Haiti, and they're broadcasting the voice of America.
Which is weird.
Do we know that that's all they're broadcasting?
No, we don't know that's all they're broadcasting.
I'm actually...
I can't find the clip.
Where is it?
Here it is.
This Week in Amateur Radio.
Let me just see if I can find the...
It was like at...
I think it was like at 11 minutes or something.
Hold on.
Let me just check.
And you can actually hear the report on this thing.
Here.
It is one of several Mars networks that...
Well, that's not it.
...during lulls in the VOA programming...
...continues our exclusive coverage of the state of communications in Haiti.
Andre?
60 miles west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, an Air Force C-130 makes slow and lazy ovals over the Gulf de la Gonzave, a weighted wire dangling from its belly like a plumb line.
The U.S. Air Force C-130 flies slowly over the island nation...
Trailing a 264-foot vertical wire as an AM antenna.
At the end of the wire is a 500-pound weight to keep the wire vertical.
Four other antennas on the wings and the fuselage transmit FM signals.
This is Commando Solo, the flying radio station in the sky.
The U.S. government is using Commando Solo to deliver news and information to the survivors of the January 12th earthquake.
During much of the day, the plane relays live broadcasts of Voice of America news call-in shows in Creole, the native tongue of Haiti.
During lulls in the VOA programming, it sends pre-recorded public service announcements, including advice on sanitation, what to do when encountering a dead body, and a warning from the Haitian government not to attempt dangerous and illegal ocean crossings to Florida in small boats.
Is this a robot talking?
That's how ham operators usually talk.
I don't think it's a robot.
So, you know, don't leave.
Don't leave the island.
Don't get in a boat.
Stay where you are.
Burn your dead.
I just find that kind of creepy.
And by the way, Port-au-Prince...
You know, you could just stick an aerial on a mountaintop.
You don't need the plane flying overhead necessarily, I don't think.
Not for an AM broadcast.
I don't know.
That's kind of weird.
There's something up with that.
We have to look into this.
Well, there you go.
The ham operators are definitely looking into it for us.
Good.
And, of course, we can't wait, John, only three more days.
The all-star single organized by music mogul Simon Cowell recorded this week to raise money for the Haiti earthquake appeal, the cover of R.E.M.'s 1993 hit, Everybody Hurts.
Featuring vocal contributions from John Bon Jovi, Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Susan Boyle, Leona Lewis, Alexander Burke, JLS, Miley Cyrus, Take That, Westlife, James Blunt, James Morrison, and Mika.
Talking about Miley Cyrus.
Yeah, what a controversy that is, huh?
Well, you're the one that brought the clip on.
Tell us the story.
What do you know?
So, I played the clip on The Last No Agenda, which, as far as I know, is wild sound.
So that's not the broadcast.
There's basically two YouTube clips.
One is where you hear the track, the record, and her mic is not on at all.
And the other one is where I still believe it is the wild sound from her microphone.
But why would they have the mic on at all?
Whoa.
You're crapping out there, Johnny Boy.
You still with me?
Huh.
Yeah, you're back.
Why would they have the mic on at all?
It makes no sense.
Well, the...
What do you mean it makes no sense?
What do you want the mic on for you?
She's just mouthing the song.
No, she's not mouthing.
She's actually singing.
And you need to have this sound coming through the monitors if you're even going to attempt to look like you're really singing.
It's okay.
A lot of people say it's fake.
No one has actually claimed this.
As far as I can tell.
And I've done the research because people are calling me out!
You know, of all the news that we bring to you, of everything that we, every single program we bring, if the most important thing is, man, that's wrong!
There's a hoax, man!
You're completely wrong!
I'm Molly Cyrus!
But when it comes to earthquake machines, everyone's like, eh, he's probably right.
You know, it's like, okay, it's like, fine.
Earthquake machines will let you slide on that.
Yeah, it's like, no problem.
But Miley Cyrus, no way, dude.
Oh no, you can't mess with Miley Cyrus.
So maybe I was wrong, alright?
No harm, no foul, I say.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
It's about time you got your comeuppance.
Yes.
You know, I was talking about the sugar crisis.
And our listeners and producers, of course, are right on the sugar crisis tip.
Because, of course, we were thinking Monsanto.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's not Monsanto.
The company is Marisant.
Marisant is coming out with a brand new sweetener.
Yes.
Now, Marisant was a company that did...
What did they do?
They did Equal, I think.
Yeah.
And they went bankrupt.
And they were brought out of bankruptcy...
Last year, almost exactly a little over a year ago, December 2009, and they're coming out with this, they've already teamed up with PepsiCo, and it's called, the substance is called Stevia.
I think that's how you pronounce it, S-T-E-V-I-A, Stevia.
Contains no calories, it's natural, it also happens to taste like licorice.
Ha!
Yeah.
Alright, before you go on...
So I've gone to the stevia thing about two or three years ago.
Stevia is a plant.
I think it's grown in the middle of South America.
And the leaves, if you chew on it, it has a slight sweet aftertaste.
And apparently you can get powder off of this stuff and you can use it as a sweetener or liquid.
You can buy this.
Any health food store has this stuff already.
The stuff tastes like crap.
The licorice thing they're referring to is essentially the bitter aftertaste.
And it's used as a sweetener in parts of the South America where they don't have sugar cane, which is, I guess, up in the mountains or something, places like that.
I don't see this being the...
This is not going to fly.
Something's amiss with this entire stuff.
Stevia is not...
Oh, by the way, here's the other thing.
When I first started reading about Steffi, there was a bunch of, apparently the USDA or somebody or the FDA or somebody were banning it.
So you couldn't bring it in.
It was only brought in the United States recently, supposedly.
And so the stuff was somewhat controversial to begin with.
But I can tell you from experience, the stuff's not that good.
I don't like it.
Well, food processors who've been working with Cargill, so these are really the people who brought it out of bankruptcy.
And Cargill, wasn't there some controversy around Cargill a while ago?
I don't know.
They're adding it to all of their ingredients.
In December, Truvia, which is the brand name for them of Stevia, captured 58% of retail sales in the Stevia sweetener market.
So, you know, as long as they're putting it in there, we might as well investigate what it is.
And if you say it's just a plant, okay, maybe not that bad.
Maybe it's not genetically modified.
Maybe it's all fine.
But it sure ain't sugar.
No, but it's been used historically for a long time as a natural sugar substitute.
So it doesn't concern me.
I still think if you want sugar, I mean, there's also a honey you can use, which isn't sugar either.
Yeah, why don't we use that?
Honey has all kinds of magical properties, doesn't it?
Well, honey also has a lot of things that don't allow certain things to set up, like I think in baking.
It's been kind of baking that honey will keep things from actually setting.
It makes a mess when you cook with it, I think.
At least in some situations.
Somebody out there will know it's a baker.
Well, anyway, so I think the setup is nice, though.
We do have enough evidence to see that there's an artificial sugar crisis that has been created.
And poop, in comes this new stuff, which is now apparently being thrown into everything.
This is not going to work.
We'll follow it.
I didn't know that this was going on.
I didn't know this new stuff from these guys was just Stevia.
I'm looking here at...
Oh, of course.
So they banned Stevia because they wanted to push Aspartame at the time.
That was...
Donald Rumsfeld.
Oh, right.
That was Rumsfeld's product, so that would happen.
Yeah, so let me see.
Here it is.
Health concerns and political controversies have limited Stevia's availability in many countries.
For example, the United States banned it in the early 1990s unless labeled as a supplement, but in 2008 approved ribodoside A extract as a food additives.
Additive.
Sorry.
So, what is it?
Stevia Health Concerns.
Hold on.
Stevia Health Concerns.
There must be something.
Is Stevia safe?
Risk of sucralose.
That doesn't make any sense, does it?
No, I'm telling you, I couldn't find anything bad about this stuff except the fact it tastes crappy.
Well, that would be a reason not to use it.
But Pepsi's apparently going to be putting it in all their products.
I don't know what Pepsi's thinking.
First, I'd go with this natural thing that it won't give us the numbers of is it selling well or not, the sugared Pepsi, as opposed to the high-fructose corn syrup.
We get, by the way, a lot of mail from people complaining about our stance on high-fructose corn syrup, soybean, rapeseed oil, the whole thing.
We're not changing our position on any of this stuff.
No matter, I mean, you can go, oh, you know, it's the same.
No, there's a lot of documentation coming in on a daily basis.
A lot of it gets squashed, especially about high fructose corn syrup.
Causing obesity, diabetes, and everything in between.
And when this thing eventually breaks, we're going to be looking at a Johns Mansville situation where the company is basically put out of business by lawsuits.
And I can guarantee if anybody really starts to document this thing where you get one lawsuit to pass, it's like cigarette, you know, they've been resisting.
Hopefully, God, nobody proves cigarettes cause cancer.
When the dam breaks, companies are going to go out of business, and Archer Midlands, McDaniels, whatever they are, Archer Daniel Midlands, is one of the companies that's under investigation.
Suspicion.
Suspicion.
Just go look at the history of John Mansfield Corporation.
Huge company.
Asbestos lawsuits bankrupted them.
Right.
But ADM, of course, has the fix in.
They sponsor so many PBS programs and NPR and national treasures that they're not going to really get nailed for anything because that's what that company does.
If you've not seen The Informant, then read the book.
That is exactly how they...
It's the whole story of how they even had an inside guy blowing the whistle on them, but because of all their political and basically financial connections, they were able to get out of it.
And they got away no problem whatsoever.
Yeah, it catches up to you.
We're talking about PBS. Yes.
I have a clip called PBS Frontline Crap.
I wonder what that is about.
It's one of my favorite shows on PBS, and they did a thing called Digital Nation about the United States and how we're all digital and it's going to ruin our lives.
It was kind of a hit piece against the internet, it seemed to me.
But it was just basically loaded with Bad information.
It was poorly reported.
It was probably the worst front line I've ever seen.
It had misinformation.
It had lame analysis.
I got two clips from this thing.
Play this PBS front line crap.
I deleted her.
I deleted her sister.
Stories of romance.
I deleted her three best friends.
And struggles with privacy.
I ended up taking it down, but now I sort of feel like I have to censor sometimes what I say with my family, whereas before, like, the minute that I felt something, I would just type it out.
But now that I know that, like, people are watching me...
Alright, so check this one out.
But one of the most irresistible stories was this one.
Let me tell you this.
I never knew what blogging was, or Twitter, or any of these fancy things.
Do you know I'm becoming an expert?
It turned out that an 83-year-old woman and her grandson have a hit online cooking show called Feed Me Bubby.
Bubby, what's today's English word?
Today's English word is Bubby, meaning grandmother.
Bubby cooks, and her grandson Avram does everything else.
Hey, you know, that's such a hit.
I watch it all the time.
You know, I never heard of this show.
We looked it up.
We found it gets like 7,000 page views a month or something.
It wasn't any sort of hit whatsoever, but I'm sure the numbers went way up after this crappy show.
But some old lady going, hey, you know, I don't know anything about the internet, but people are reading my recipes.
Hey, wait a minute.
That's a new tech grouch.
We can do the Cooking Granny.
That's a good one.
Mark that down.
Cooking Granny grouch.
show was filled with this kind of bogus information that it's a big one.
I mean, they could have gone to, I hate to say it, but they could have tracked down Leo Laporte and got real, you know, data But no, they're going to just dream up all this crazy stuff that's got nothing to do with anything.
They emphasize mostly Facebook and Twitter and World of Warcraft.
And in fact, if you play the second clip, which is W-O-W, Second Life.
I got it.
You don't have to spell everything out.
There's only six clips.
I think I can figure out which one, John.
Oh, he's mad at me.
Oh.
I'm closer to my online friends than anybody in real life.
Definitely.
Oh, let's hear it.
The relationships people forge in these games seem to have a particularly intense quality.
Nice to meet you.
It's not uncommon for in-game romances to migrate to real life, evenly to marriage.
Amen.
Amen.
Evidently, almost a third of female players have met a romantic partner inside the game.
You know, we went out and had dates in real life, but to me, I'm always going to consider my first date the time when he broke into a castle to come meet me.
I just thought it was so romantic.
Alright, can I just say something quickly before you go off?
Second Life is all about sex.
You've got sex balls, sex toys, sex rooms.
It's all about living out your lurid fantasies.
You've got furries in there.
It's completely all...
No matter what anyone tells you, and when Second Life came out, I was in there for weeks on end until I finally came to the discovery...
Wait a minute.
It's all about sex.
That's all that it's about.
It's just about sexual fantasies.
Then, of course, some of that spills over into real life, and that's why it's actually popular.
So it's about sexual fantasies.
Now, I have a theory about all of this that's taking place in these stories, but I'd like to hear your take first.
I have no take.
I just thought I was stupid.
Okay.
So, last night, Mickey and I were talking.
So, you know, is there any chance in hell that, you know, in our lifetime, John, you and I, that we can actually do anything to change the direction that the world is going in, the new world order, the global government, you know...
Basically, this has been happening for thousands of years.
The rich people screw the poor people, and they make off with all their goods.
And so we've got this huge financial bubble that's blowing up again, and we will have hyperinflation.
And all the bankers, everyone's getting their money now, and then when you go bankrupt, it's a timing game, you go bankrupt, they buy up your crap, your land, your house, your car, whatever it is, and then the money explodes.
A hundred trillion dollars Zimbabwe note here on my wall.
It does happen, you know.
It happens a little quicker in a small country like Zimbabwe, but it does happen.
And I do believe that we're on track for that to happen in the Western world.
You know, bad things just happen in the world.
Like the World War II was only 60 years ago, so bad stuff happens.
The only chance we have, ironically, was invented by Al Gore, which is the Internet.
So we have an opportunity here, what John and I are doing with no agenda, is we are making people aware of some of the things that are going on that do not involve watching the ballgame, going to see Avatar, drinking a beer, swallowing your going to see Avatar, drinking a beer, swallowing your pristine drugs, There is other stuff happening.
And it's because of the internet that we're able to communicate amongst each other outside of the mainstream channels.
This is what they never saw coming.
And by the way, it's Unix sysadministrators.
You know what these guys look like.
They're typically a little bit overweight.
They've got their butt crack showing through their jeans.
They've got the really long, nicely brushed hair.
These guys built this stuff, and they were very smart in doing it for us, and you can't just take it down other than by having the nanny state come in, tell you that it's all bad for you, It's going to hurt your children.
We're going to arrest you because you're downloading music and movies.
You can't have flat-chested women depicted because that's illegal and it's all about kiddie porn and save the children.
They're trying to shut it down.
Technically, they cannot.
The hackers will save the day on the technical issue.
It's the lawmakers who are trying to bring it all down and shut us off from the information.
Things like this very program that are bringing you a different form of bits, information that is beyond what Rachel Manow spews out, which we all know is just plain wrong.
And that's why this is happening.
Okay, here's the pet peeve thing.
Get it.
Yeah, I'm so...
I'm going to do my pet peeve this week.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
There's one more thing I'd like to say.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
All right.
We're being screwed, people.
Hey, a little correction from Andrew Bean.
Adam, you mentioned New Mexico's age of consent for sexual activity.
It is 17 years of age for heterosexual activity.
However, 13 for homosexual activity.
Homosexual sex is illegal in Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
Homosexual relations are illegal in the military, as are most sexual positions between heterosexual couples.
I kid you not, when I was in the Army, I sat through a seminar that pretty much said only missionary style was accepted.
You have to be 20 to have sex in Tunisia and 21 in Madagascar.
In Burkina Faso, you have to be 13 for hetero but 21 for homosexual.
Just an update and a no-agenda sex tip.
Yeah, good stuff.
Yeah, it's great stuff.
Now, can we just hit ClimateGate really, really quickly?
Because I don't want to take credit, but I do feel it's important that we just basically say, hey, we told you so.
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gates.
So I just want to start by saying that this morning I woke up and I received probably 25 emails from people from Gitmo Nation lowlands in the Netherlands.
And this is weird the way media sometimes works, but the main rag, the main newspaper, the USA Today, the state-controlled paper, the Telegraf...
Published an article, of course, what we've been all over, about the reduction in temperature measurement stations, about the Himalayan report being based upon a high school student's dissertation.
I'm paraphrasing, obviously.
And all of a sudden, they're going like, hey, wow, man!
Hey, look!
And some politician said, you know, this is bullcrap.
We should send the federales over to the IPCC and have this shit really looked at.
You know, he was talking about sending armed federal agents to the IPCC. And now, all of a sudden, everyone's like, oh, wait a minute.
This is crap.
And now they're calling out the minister...
I forget her name.
She's one of those reptilian women.
Um...
And so there's definitely some knowledge being disseminated, because once it's in the telegraph, then of course it's true, so I'm not quite sure how it slipped through or why it slipped through.
But now they are talking about actual arrests for some of these scientists, particularly over in the United Kingdom.
I think that would be cool.
I think it's highly necessary.
Yeah.
And I think they might have to do this.
You know, Tony Blair has been on trial.
No one's talking about it.
Yeah, I've been watching the trial, by the way.
Yeah, for sending...
This is only the preliminary hearings, the actual trial, if there's going to be one.
They hint about it quite a bit during the hearings, but they haven't actually done anything.
Which, of course, would be in the Netherlands.
It would be at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
So, uh...
By the way, this is available to watch on C-SPAN. Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
And, um...
Oh, where is it?
I can't wait until the iPad comes out.
Because then I can actually put all my jingles onto the screen.
I don't want to brag about it.
I can put all of my jingles on the screen.
I actually used the word gripe.
I said, no, here's what I wanted to play.
Adam Curry, John, see the format.
Read a brand new book for you.
Or do a little movie review.
So you don't have to.
I believe, John, you've certainly heard of this.
I've just downloaded it because it's available on Gutenberg.org, which is the open source, no longer copyrighted book service, which is just fantastic.
If you want to get great books, you can download them in all kinds of formats.
You don't need a Kindle.
The book is called Philip Drew Administrator, A Story of Tomorrow.
Have you heard of this book?
No.
Really?
I'm surprised by that.
No, you shouldn't be.
It was published in 1912.
It's a futuristic political novel published anonymously by Edward Mandel House, an American diplomat, politician, and presidential foreign policy advisor.
His book's hero leads the democratic western U.S. in a civil war against the plutocratic East, and he becomes the dictator of America.
Drew, as dictator, imposes a series of reforms that resemble the Bull Moose platform of 1912.
Are you familiar with that?
Yeah, of course.
That's what Teddy Roosevelt ran under.
Well, tell me, what is that?
Because Teddy Roosevelt was kicked out of the Republican Party basically because they wouldn't re-nominate him to run for president.
So he formed his own party.
He's a third party.
Essentially, think Ross Perot.
Oh, okay.
So that's why people...
He almost won, by the way, but he didn't.
That's why people are recommending I read it.
So I will be reading this, and I shall report back.
The good news is we could all read it together.
There's a link in the show notes at noagendershow.com.
Good.
Yeah.
Okay, are you done with the swine flu minute?
Yeah, let's close the gate.
Oh, my God.
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gates.
So there's a chart going around, which we blogged.
Which I find highly amusing.
Go to Dvorak.org slash blog and see how you'd find it on the search engine.
The title of the post is, How Religious Is Your State?
Oh yes, I've seen this, yeah.
But what I was, the religious part is, it falls apart a little bit here and there because, you know, they say that everybody's, you know, you got dummies.
All the dummies are religious and all the dummies have, you know, just trying to prove that, you know, they're all Republicans and they're all dummies.
They're retards.
That's not what it shows me.
I look at this chart differently.
For one thing, the average IQ of a state should be 100 because that's the average IQ supposedly of the general population.
So you have some states that are smarter, some states that are dumber.
California turns out to be second only to Mississippi in being dumb.
Now, California's average IQ was 96, which is exactly the same as Alabama.
I take it back.
There's also Louisiana at 95.
Alabama, New Mexico, Louisiana, California, and Hawaii.
Are the dumbest states, with California being there at 96.
And California's a very liberal state, and it shows that on this thing, too.
So obviously there may be a connection, or no.
But whatever the case, I find it very, very disturbing that California's an extremely stupid state in the bottom five, tied for third, you know, kind of as dumb.
The smart states, by the way, are Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Huh.
Oh, wow.
Now, does that fluctuate when you go up to Port Angeles?
Does the number then change?
Does it jump all of a sudden?
No, it jumps.
The number, when I leave the state, it goes down to 40.
I mean, yeah, you can try to work the joke in there, but I just find it distressing.
And, of course, the curious thing, again, is that they try to make, and by the way, California is very low on the religiosity index.
It's not 57.
I mean, the lowest state, apparently, where nobody's religious is Vermont, which I find hard to believe.
At the bottom of the list is Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine, and Alaska.
They're not religious states compared to the top religious states, which is Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, generally states in the south.
California's right below the middle.
We're dumb, we don't believe in religion, and we're liberal, and we have a lot of crime.
Fantastic.
Wyoming is at 102.
California's at 96.
We're dumb.
We're a bunch of dumbasses.
We are, here it comes, retards.
I'm just going to keep saying that word until I get called out by Tim.
Tim Shriver.
Tim Shriver, yeah.
He's a really nice guy, by the way.
His wife is lovely.
But they're broke.
Well, it doesn't matter.
So are we.
So are we.
Damn, beat me.
Hey, I seem to have hit on a chord here.
The chat room, which of course probably is filled with a good number of the people who will save the world, i.e.
the sysadmins.
These are the guys that speak BGP in their sleep.
They're all like, yeah, hell yeah.
They want to be called NAM, the No Agenda Militia.
So I think that might stick.
We could find them useful.
Yes, I think.
Well, you know what?
I'll tell you, man.
If I want someone on my side, it's going to be the sysadmin.
It's going to be these guys who really know the routing, who understand all the ins and the outs.
Of course, there's also the evil side of that, the guys who created the flash trading for Goldman Sachs.
But, yeah, that's all right.
We don't have to bother with that.
They may have been caged and tortured for all you know.
What's that?
They may have been caged and tortured for all you know.
That's very possible.
Well, a couple of people listen to the show.
Prolific programmer.
He works at Goldman.
Yeah, he does.
Yeah.
So Alaska's IQ is 99.
It's better than California's.
Why do I care?
Why are you still on this?
I'm obsessed with this.
Why?
I didn't realize how dumb we are in California, because we have the worst education system in the world.
The University of California has decided that instead of like, well, maybe educating Californians, they'd rather educate people from China.
Right, that's a good point.
I have told you that when you fly in the general Northern California airspace and you listen to the radio, it's all Chinese.
And their radio work, of course, is atrocious because you can't understand half of what they're saying, but essentially they come in to get their license here, which is pretty crazy.
Yeah.
Pretty damn crazy.
So there's a controversy going on in California before we wrap the show up, I want to mention it at least.
The state senator, or the U.S. senator race is going to be at the end of this month, and so people should go out there and look up.
Carly Fiorina is running against Tom Campbell, and she put out a political ad.
I thought it was a hoax.
Really?
But I always check these things out to make sure I'm not suckered by a hoax.
And...
No comment.
You're not going to get me on that.
It shows a bunch of sheep and a guy in a sheep thing crawling around and a sheep with red glowing eyes and a bunch of, she's trying to coin a term, fiscal conservative in name only, which doesn't have any sound to it.
It should kind of mock, or not to mock, but to write on the idea of Rhino, which is Republican in name only, so she's got fiscal conservative in name only, as though this is some great creation.
I've got it here.
You want me to play it for a second?
You can play a few minutes, yeah.
Yeah, it's kind of long, it seems.
It seems like...
It's three minutes.
It's way too long.
I'm clicking on...
Oh, here we go.
This is on...
Purity.
Piety.
Piety.
Our fiscal conservative leaders, men we admire, aspire to be, wholesome, honorable, true leaders, men like Tom Campbell, who would never lead us astray, his pedestal so high.
So Tom Campbell's a sheep?
He's an evil sheep.
Yeah, he is.
He's falling through lightning.
But one way to fall.
Tom Campbell, fiscal genius.
Question mark.
Who would remember that as the governor's chief budget officer, Campbell was the architect of our disastrous 2005 budget.
A budget so blow...
All right.
It's a piece of crap, but people should look at it and then you see what an idiot Carly Fiorina is.
It's in the show notes at noagendashow.com.
And the funny thing is, of course, HP as a corporation gave all this money to Barbara Boxer.
Yeah, and HP, of course, the board of directors spied on each other with phone taps.
Yeah.
Bad actors.
Bad actors.
Very bad actors.
Alright, so we count on you, no agenda militia, to keep us going.
Please look into my ADSL connection.
That would be a good start to helping us out on the show.
Yeah, it would.
One way or the other it's going to change.
I'm going to a new crackpot command center location.
At least we'll have a little while where we have some better connectivity until they find me.
Okay, no comment.
That's a wrap.
I think we're done.
Yeah, pretty good.
